With Merkaz, Michael Solomonov Debuts His Trendy Tackle Israeli Avenue Meals
December 3, 2019 - 8:43 pm0
Tel Aviv, Israel, has a thriving avenue meals tradition constructed round sandwiches: heat pita pockets filled with layers of contemporary salads, rotisserie meats and tangy sauces. Yow will discover the transportable meals at hole-in-the-wall meals stalls everywhere in the metropolis, and now Philadelphia's foremost evangelist for Israeli delicacies is bringing that very same environment to Pennsylvania.
Earlier this week Michael Solomonov, the James Beard Award-winning chef and proprietor of Zahav, opened the pita sandwich store and café Merkaz (the Hebrew phrase for "center") in Philadelphia's centralized Midtown Village.
"Philadelphia has amazing sandwiches and I am so excited to be part of that conversation with Goldie and now with Merkaz," stated Solomonov, who was born in Israel and raised in Pittsburgh. "Come for cheesesteak, stay for sambich and schnitzel."
Merkaz is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Within the morning, it'll serve espresso and conventional Israeli breakfast dishes like hummus foul (hummus served heat with fava beans and an haminado egg); eggs in pita with yogurt, chopped salad and za'atar spices; and shakshuka, the North African dish of eggs baked in a spicy tomato and pepper stew.

Within the afternoon and night, Merkaz will serve pita sandwiches, hummus, salatim (cooked vegetable salads) and Gazoz, the favored Turkish delicate drink that is available in flavors like lemon-cardamom and celery-coriander. To-go, family-style meals can even be out there, akin to whole rotisserie chickens with hummus and salads.
Pita sandwiches on the menu embody rooster schnitzel; shawarma-spiced cauliflower and rotisserie lamb; and Jerusalem grill (rooster hearts, turkey breast, tahini and pickles). Solomonov is most excited for the sabich sandwich, which relies on an Iraqi Jewish dish and comprises fried eggplant, slow-cooked eggs, tahini, amba (pickled mango sauce) and chopped salad.
Merkaz is co-owned by Steve Cook dinner, who's Solomonov's associate in CookNSolo, the restaurant group that additionally operates Zahav, Abe Fisher, Dizengoff, Goldie, Federal Donuts and Okay'Far, which opened this fall. (Merkaz's chef is Henry Morgan, who comes from Dizengoff.) In early 2020 the restaurant group will open Laser Wolf, a skewer home and bar.
"The last year and a half really taught us that there is room to grow, but you can overstretch," Solomonov stated. "Being a little bit disciplined about how we do it is important. It's all risky and it's all crazy and you have no idea what is going to happen when you do these things. We're just trying to do it one restaurant at a time."
Solomonov's eating places thrive in Philadelphia, however haven't fared as effectively elsewhere. The crew opened Dizengoff and Federal Donuts in New York and Miami, however they closed. The chef believes diners in Philly respect his work as a result of they care about high quality, not hype, and he isn't being redundant. He's telling very concise tales with every of his properties; he isn't promoting falafel in seven locations.
"There are so many different ways to have a meal and there's so many aspects that I don't think people touch on," he stated. "Picture eating breakfast in the South versus what eating a New England dinner is like. There's just so many different kinds of nuances and facets that make up meals here in the U.S.—it's the same thing in Israel."
To Solomonov, Israeli delicacies is as various because the ethnicities and nationalities that decision the nation dwelling: Center Japanese, Palestinian, Bedouin, North African, Japanese European, Jewish and Balkan, amongst others. The culinary traditions listed here are being created in actual time, and the chef has plans to translate much more components of the delicacies sooner or later.
"There's definitely other aspects of Israeli food or Jewish food in particular that I think we can elaborate on, but right now we've just got a lot," he stated. "Eastern and Central European Jewish cuisine has almost no accurate representation here in the U.S. When you think of Jewish food, you really think of post-World War II in North America. We sort of lost the pre-World War II cuisine in like Hungary. The way Hungarians treat the goose, almost like we do the pig, how they treat the fat and the curing. That hasn't really been expressed yet in the States."
However for now, he's going to concentrate on making and preserving those he already has nice vacation spot eating places.
"There's something really wonderful about being able to touch all your restaurants in a day, walk to them," he stated. "And it's really gratifying to have New Yorkers come to Philly to have dinner. I love it."
Merkaz is open daily for breakfast from eight a.m. to 11 a.m. and lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

summertime Archives - What the Forks for Dinner?
We all have memories of favorite foods and summertime. Fudgesicles are one of those memories for many of us. Caramel Fudgesicles are my take on a summertime classic.
It was either popsicles or fudgesicles in the summer time. Hot and humid is the rule n the Midwest and after a day of riding bikes, swimming, and doing what kids do in the summer, nothing satisfies like a cold treat.
Burger are a summertime staple……… Jamaican Jerk Burgers are one of my favorite.
I found this original recipe on one of my favorite recipe web sites Epicurious. When I first had access to the internet I stumbled across this web site and it has kinda become my foodie bible.
If I am at a loss for inspiration, I can always find it here. I recommend this site for anyone who is out of ideas or needs a special recipe.
Last year we traded our gas grill for a charcoal grill…….best idea ever!!! There is something that charcoaling gives, that you just can't get from a gas grill.
The age-old debate over which grilling method is "better" is always a HOT topic.. While no studies prove that either is healthier, gas does burn cleaner. Charcoal grills emit more carbon monoxide, particulate matter and soot into the atmosphere, contributing to increased pollution and higher concentrations of ground-level ozone. But, from a taste perspective, on the other hand, the smokier, richer taste of food cooked on a charcoal grill is preferred by many…….us!!!!
These burger not only get a smoky flavor from the charcoal, but also from the jerk sauce. Jerk is a style of cooking native to Jamaica in which meat is dry-rubbed or wet marinated with a very hot spice mixture called Jamaican jerk spice. Jerk seasoning is traditionally applied to pork and chicken. Modern recipes also apply jerk spice to ..well almost anything… Jerk seasoning principally relies upon two items: allspice (called "pimento" in Jamaica) and Scotch bonnet peppers. Other ingredients may include cloves, cinnamon, scallions, nutmeg, thyme, garlic, brown sugar, ginger, and salt.
My recipe replaces the scotch bonnet with jalapeño, We like spice but not quite that much. Allspice, brown sugar, and scallions with soy make a marinade for the burgers. Reserved marinade makes a nice mop ( baste ) for the burgers as they cook….. keeps them super juicy.
If you have something hot, you need something cool. Jamaican Slaw is the perfect topper for Jamaican Jerk Burgers. Cool and creamy.
Cabbage, multi colored peppers, and scallions are coated with a Miracle Whip…….I know I say this every time, but Miracle Whip is my preferred …….if you must, use mayo……orange juice, and for a little smokiness chipotle chilies……Chipotles are small jalapeños, that have been dried by a smoking process that gives them a dark color and a distinct smoky flavor. They are canned in a red sauce that has a fantastic, smoky flavor as well. Only three ingredients make the prefect sauce for the slaw.
Toasted onion buns are the prefect vessel for the slaw topped burger. I toast mine in the toaster on the bagel setting…….only toasts one side…..great huh?
So, once cooked, place the burger on the bottom half of the bun, top with the creamy slaw, top with the top of the bun, and enjoy!!!!
Next time you want a juicy, creamy spicy burger….fire up the charcoal grill and make Jamaican Jerk Burgers !
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Set aside 3/4 cup jerk sauce. Shape ground beef into six patties and place in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup jerk sauce over patties and turn to coat; let stand 20 minutes.
Grill to desired doneness, brushing occasionally with remaining jerk sauce, about 4 minutes per side for medium.
Place burgers on bottom halves of toasted buns. Top with Jamaican slaw and top bun.


The key point is that the evidence needs to back up your thesis. The wrinkles within your essay ought to be the formidable things that advocate for your case. So, after you are looking for an affordable and inexpensive essay writing agency, then search no longer.


THE first memory Monivea Rugby chairman Padraic McGann holds of the club's prize pupil Caolin Blade donning the club's red and black stripes is of him picking up the ball up in his own 22 and jinking and jiving past would-be tackles, bursting up the entire length of the field, before diving over the line for another try from as young as 12.
McGann, one of the founding fathers of the North Galway club back in October 8, 1972, wasn't one bit surprised to hear last week's announcement that Blade, on the back of some fantastic club form with Connacht, had been drafted into the Ireland set-up for the first time as part of Joe Schmidt's 36-strong Six Nations squad.
24-year-old Blade, even before his international call-up, has had a season to remember and was chosen to captain his province for the first time in October of last year.

Caring for Recruits' Injuries is Key to Success at Basic Training

2/23/2022 By: Claudia Sanchez-Bustamante, MHS Communications
Total Force Fitness | Physical Fitness | Readiness Capabilities | Injury Prevention
Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of articles about recruit and trainee training, and how the Military Health System supports the military services in maintaining optimal health as these young men and women go through basic training and recruit training and enter the military.
There are all sorts of reasons why a new recruit might wash out of their initial military training.
Some just decide that enlisting in the military wasn't for them, and they cannot adjust to military life.
Others are unable to meet the basic standards and requirements to become a service member.
But among the most common reasons that young people fail to complete recruit training successfully and on time is injury.
That's why today's recruit trainers and drill instructors take many precautious to avoid injuries that can leave new enlistees to languish for weeks in a rehabilitation unit or simply sent back home.
"Injury is extremely frustrating and can crush morale and motivation," said Army Capt. Lydia Blondin, assistant chief of physical therapy at the General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.
The most common injuries are overuse injuries of the lower extremities and include stress fractures and muscle strains, she said.
"Occasionally, we also see more acute injuries like fractures or ligament tears," she added.
These can result in delayed training due to prolonged bone healing times, which typically range from six to 12 weeks.
Still, despite the best mitigation efforts injuries do occur.
Medical experts say today's recruits are at higher risk of injury because they live a more sedentary lifestyle than prior generations. Some of them struggle to adjust to the rigors of recruit training.
That's why it's more important than ever to encourage recruits to get in shape before shipping out. And they need access to top-notch medical care if they get injured to ensure their entire military career doesn't get derailed at its earliest phase.

Responding to Injuries
Once injuries happen, the health care team at each training facility is there to help. At Fort Leonard Wood, the staff at the Richard G. Wilson Troop Medical Clinic offers primary care as well as physical therapy.
The installation has a fitness training holding unit for injured soldiers. That provides access to the Warrior Training and Rehabilitation Program, which helps injured soldiers rehabilitate and recover, said Army Maj. Jon-Marc Thibodeau, a clinical coordinator and chief of the medical readiness service line at Fort Leonard Wood.
"The soldier can continue healing while staying fit and healthy until they are ready to return back to training," explained Blondin.
For their part, medical providers can schedule individual briefs with a company or battalion to review injury prevention, discuss running form, or any other topic, Blondin explained. Physical therapists provide injured soldiers with crutches, braces, medication, manual therapy, exercises, stretches, dry needling, joint mobilization, or blood-flow restriction, among other treatments.
When necessary, orthopedic doctors may need to get involved for more significant injuries to assess the need for surgery.
Additionally, the trainees have access to behavioral health resources to address the psychological or emotional aspects of injuries.
"Behavioral health therapists or the chaplain are great resources to help these trainees figure out how to mentally cope with the stress and frustration of injury in the training environment."
Rest is Also Good
Advanced technologies help reduce and treat injuries from military training. But sometimes, the best treatment for training injuries can be as simple as rest, said Blondin.
If a trainee undergoes surgery or suffers significant injury, they may be granted convalescent leave and be allowed to return home temporarily. But this is an option military leaders prefer to avoid, as it takes the recruit out of the basic training environment.
"During convalescent leave, they don't have access to rehab. There's less of a safety control, and unfortunately, sometimes soldiers will get into trouble or lose their motivation to come back," said Blondin.
"Our first goal is to stay in training when safe and feasible," said Blondin. "Sometimes this can mean just taking it easy and modifying training for a week or two while things calm down."
Following an injury, recruits gradually return to exercise. Close monitoring of their gait when performing exercises is key to ensuring trainees are ready to resume full training, said Thibodeau. Limping, for example, is an indication of injury and reveals it's not yet time to increase their running, walking, or rucking time.
"Going from zero to 100 is a recipe for re-injury," added Blondin. "Re-injury is tough in training, not only physically, but mentally. It can affect the ability to remain in the Army depending on the type and severity of the injury, and where they are in training."
Editor's note: Military services refer to entry-level service members as either 'recruit' or 'trainee'. Entry-level training also uses various names – 'basic training', 'recruit training' and 'boot camp' being the most common. For this article, theses terms are used interchangeably.

Сюжет
Групу професійних дайверів наймають дослідити затоплення печери в Карпатських горах Румунії, де при Чаушеску безслідно зникла група їхніх попередників. Вхід до них розташований під будівлею старовинної церкви, збудованої тамплієрами.

Група спускається в печери, але незабаром обвал гірських порід відрізає їх від виходу. З'ясовується, що в печерній темряві мешкають хижі тварюки. Дайверам доводиться шукати інший вихід, попутно намагаючись не бути з'їденими цими істотами. У процесі пошуків виходу вони втрачають одного за іншим своїх товаришів, заражаючись невідомим видом паразитів, що перетворили на переслідуючих їх тварюк безслідно зниклу групу попередників. Трьом з дослідників дивом вдається вибратися на поверхню.

Трійця повертається до цивілізації. Під час зустрічі Тайлер запитує Кетрін, якщо б Джек зміг вижити. Жінка тихо відповідає: вона думала, що паразит може вижити тільки під землею, але тепер він хоче вийти наззовні. Дженнінгс нахиляється, щоб поцілувати коллегу, дивлячись через край сонцезахисних окулярів, стає зрозуміло, що як і Джек, вона почала мутувати. Кетрін раптом встає і йде, Тайлер розуміє, що вона заражена паразитом і має намір залишатися на волі, здатною заразити інших. Шокований, він відчайдушно біжить за нею, але Кетрін зникає в натовпі.

Acute Ischemic Stroke
Is there evidence that mechanical thrombectomy performed more than 6 hours after stroke onset may be beneficial?
Treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke is guided by the time from the onset of stroke, the severity of neurologic deficit, and findings on neuroimaging. Read the NEJM Clinical Practice Article here.
Q: What imaging test is preferred for initial evaluation in cases of suspected acute ischemic stroke?
A: Rapid onset of neurologic deficits localized to a single cerebral arterial vascular territory is the archetypal clinical presentation of acute ischemic stroke. Brain imaging is necessary to rule out intracerebral hemorrhage; noncontrast CT is preferred because of its availability, rapidity, and high sensitivity. In clinically typical cases, a noncontrast CT that shows no other explanation for the neurologic deficit is sufficient to diagnose acute ischemic stroke on initial imaging; diffusion-weighted MRI is not necessary.
Q: What conditions must be met before alteplase can be administered?
A: Before the administration of alteplase, no neuroimaging other than initial diagnostic noncontrast CT is necessary. Given the low prevalence of unsuspected coagulopathies, intravenous alteplase should be administered while the results of hematologic tests are pending if there is no reason to suspect an abnormality. On the basis of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke trial protocol for the use of tissue plasminogen activator, the blood pressure must be lower than 185/110 mm Hg before and during infusion and lower than 180/105 mm Hg for at least the first 24 hours afterward.
Q: Given that the benefit of alteplase is time dependent, what has been learned about the treatment window for thrombolysis with alteplase?
A: Randomized, controlled trials have shown that intravenous administration of alteplase within 4.5 hours after the onset of stroke reduces disability from acute ischemic stroke. In the WAKE-UP trial, 503 patients with a time of onset of disabling acute ischemic stroke that was unclear, but greater than 4.5 hours from the time last known to be well (94% of whom awoke with stroke), were randomly assigned to receive intravenous alteplase at a standard dose or placebo administered within 4.5 hours after the recognition of stroke symptoms. Patients were eligible if they had an abnormal signal on diffusion-weighted MRI, no visible signal change on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging, a lesion on diffusion-weighted MRI that was not larger than one third of the territory of the middle cerebral artery, an NIHSS score of 25 or lower, and no planned thrombectomy. More participants in the alteplase group than in the placebo group attained the primary end point of a modified Rankin scale score of 0 or 1 at 90 days. Data from randomized, controlled trials that used imaging eligibility criteria support a benefit of late administration of intravenous alteplase (4.5 to 9.0 hours after the onset of stroke or measured from the mid-point of sleep).
Q: Is there evidence that mechanical thrombectomy performed more than 6 hours after stroke onset may be beneficial?
A: Mechanical thrombectomy, performed within 6 hours after the onset of stroke, is another first-line treatment for selected patients on the basis of multiple randomized, controlled trials that have shown a benefit. Two randomized, controlled trials have shown a benefit of mechanical thrombectomy performed at more than 6 hours after the onset of stroke in patients with an occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery or the first segment of the middle cerebral artery. The efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy within 6 hours after the onset of stroke is uncertain in patients who have a causative occlusion of an intracranial artery other than the internal carotid artery or the first segment of the middle cerebral artery.

Super Spirograph 75-piece Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition is the deal.
Notably Super Spirograph 75-piece Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition is by far the most awesome Spirograph kit to date. Indeed Spirograph Deluxe and Spirograph Junior are fantastic. However Super Spirograph 75-piece Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition is the real deal for Spirograph enthusiasts.
Undoubtedly, Super Spirograph 75-piece Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition is Spirograph complete. Certainly it is the one that will captivate the interest of both kids, and adults who feel young enough at heart. Surely you will enjoy it tremendously as you draw several dazzling designs.
In case you are not mesmerized by spirograph designs yet, I know you will soon. Truly I have and that's why I have been writing about them. Of course it's another way for children to be creative with drawing especially if they don't feel comfortable with freehand drawing techniques or with the use of kids drawing stencil.
Following my last posts on different editions of Spirographs, a reader asked for more, so I hope this Super Spirograph 75-piece Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition will bring more fascination.
Important to realize that Super Spirograph 75-piece Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition has a gold-colored metal Spirograph gear included in the box. Notably this Super Spirograph Kit is commemorative of Spirograph's 50th anniversary. To explain, the kit comes with unique arcs that snap together to form a variety of curves. Watch the short video below for a demonstration.
Be that as it may, you can make even more spirograph designs. Surely this kit has more shapes and offers even more fun. Therefore you will design to your heart's content.
On the positive side, here are some key points worth noting.
No doubt children will absolutely love this drawing toy. Assuredly, if kids had never used anything like this before, they will love this one. As a matter of fact it offers non stop fun for hours.
Another key point to note is this 75-piece Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition is the ultimate math based drawing toy for all ages. Again it is Spirograph complete, totally awesome for kids to have more fun. Then again this super kit is comprehensive. Certainly there are many pieces to choose from. In fact this may very well be the Spirograph kit for you to become better at making Spriograph patterns. Obviously the key is to practice.
Even though this kit may be a bit difficult for an eight year old to start with, it will make a great family toy. In case you are looking for a fun time drawing with the family, then this is the toy to try. Indeed it is awesomeness in a fun nostalgic way. Undoubtedly this will give children encouragement to draw creatively.
In general kids who love to draw and design will not run out of spirograph design ideas. Hence this super drawing kit will take spirograph lovers to an extraordinary high level. By all means you will do it with the variety of interchangeable spiro-tracks and twice as many gears as the Original Spirograph. How cool is that?
Actually a friend told me about her experience using the original spirograph as a child many years ago. As a result of her experience and now fifty years later, she is able to do decorative flourish that goes around a framed certificate or photograph. Thereupon, she is still having fun with spirograph patterns today. Of course she has now bought Super Spirograph Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition.
Like many original products from back then, the Super Spirograph Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition may not look as durable. Nevertheless, this kit still offers the fun and if much care is taken, it will certainly last a long time.
Well, that's reasonable thinking because nothing we buy these days can be compared to the durability of products back in those days. Remember that like any other toy we have to guide children to take care when they are using it.
Drawing with a Spirograph kit can be very simple for those who can use it well, or it can be very complicated. Considering that the plastic rings and gears seem to be much thinner these days, some kids may not have developed the manual finesse that is required to use the different pieces.
Bear in mind that they may find it difficult to control the thin plastic rings as they move around. Besides this can be a real challenge for eight year old starters. In this case they need to use a light touch to keep the teeth lined up. Surely this may be a tricky operation for them. Being that this may be so, then you can get a kit that is easier to use here. Likewise another kit of a higher level is also available here.
Another key point to note is that some kids may not get to complete the patterns accurately and this may cause some discouragement. However, when they get the hang of it, they will be creating great spirograph designs.
In concept, the the Super Spirograph Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition is no doubt a great drawing toy. Surely this is perfect for children ten years and up as well as adults. Basically if kids have a problem using a ring, then a solution is to glue it temporarily to the paper with rubber cement. This works well. A little smelly and messy though, but no big deal.
Overall, the Super Spirograph Jumbo Kit 50th Anniversary Edition makes a great gift. It offers enjoyment several times over.
I hope you find this review helpful, and feel free to share your designs. If you have questions or comments, please reach out to us.


solution is a marvellous example of how collaboration can work so effectively.
Running a mathematical modelling programme with Professor James Gleeson for secondary school students which is based on this study group model is made so much easier when I have had the opportunity to take part in the real thing. When young students are struggling to come up with ideas, are brainstorming , hitting dead ends , getting frustrated and having to start again, it's very nice to be able to say , 'that's how it works in the real world'.
To be able to confidently tell students, based on first-hand experience, that people aren't expected to know the answers, will often struggle to begin, that every suggestion is considered and discussed , and there is rarely a single solution to any problem is of huge benefit. The other aspect of being part of the study group is the immense pleasure of participating in problem solving at this level in a hugely supportive, collaborative and friendly environment. To be afforded this opportunity was a great pleasure and privilege and I would recommend whole heartedly to anyone offered the chance to get involved.
In the last three years, I have attended three study groups, working on four problems and collaborating with over fifty academics and industrial representatives. Each study group has been different – different mathematicians, different problems, and different industrial partners have all resulted in unique experiences. The University of Limerick hosted the 128th European Study Group with Industry between June 12th-17th 2017. My experience with this study group and past ones has been overwhelmingly positive; they are one of the highlights of my socio-academic calendar.
From a social point of view, they are an excellent opportunity to meet and reconnect with like-minded individuals. At each study group, I have worked on entirely different problems alongside some really clever people. I have witnessed a variety of approaches that people bring to the problem-solving process; some people gather around the whiteboard sharing ideas and offering feedback to other group members. Other people keep their heads down and prefer to work alone. Others decide to work on multiple problems, and spend their time hovering around the different rooms. Many approaches to the same problem appear, but usually everyone collaborates with a shared sense of purpose which lends itself to a really positive work environment.
When I tell people that I am an applied mathematician, one of the most popular responses is: "I hated maths in school", followed by "why do we even need maths?" I like this type of question-as a society, we should probably ask it to everyone whom the taxpayer funds! Thankfully, study groups have helped me to bolster my arsenal of responses; I can talk about the mathematics that is making life easier for people with diabetes, the mathematics underpinning microwaves or the mathematics behind solar energy. My research is not purely academic; it has real applications and some tangible and relatable value. Study groups showcase applied mathematics really well.

蔡沛倫:The Olympic Games and Human Rights
2012-08-09 /in Research & Working Papers /by cils.nccu
Pei-Lun Tsai
Ph.D. student, School of Law,
Sports and human rights, two concepts that seem to have little relevance, are in fact closely linked against the backdrop of the Olympic Movement. The respect for human rights is embedded in the Olympic Charter and past practice has seen occasional use of the Olympic Games as a vehicle for changes and reform in the field of human rights in host and participating countries. A recent example saw the International Olympic Committee (IOC) engaged in talks with Saudi Arabia before the commencement of the 2012 London Olympics, urging the country to allow female athletes to compete at the Games. The contribution below reflects on the relation between the Olympics and human rights with reference to a number of notable examples in this regard.
The International Olympic Committee, the Olympic Movement, and human rights
The IOC governs the organization, action and operation of the Olympic Movement, which encompasses any organization, athlete or person who agrees to be guided by the Olympic Charter. The IOC, a non-governmental and non-profit organization, is fundamentally responsible for creating rules and regulations to guide the Olympic decision-making process. It is also responsible for determining the qualifications of Olympic participants and selecting the host city of the Olympic Games. Among the Fundamental Principles of Olympism provided in the Olympic Charter, four principles relate to the protection and promotion of human rights.
Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind. Blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy of effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles.
The goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of man, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity. . . .
The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practising sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play. . . .
Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement. (emphasis added)
Among the tasks of the IOC is the selection of the host city. The selection process involves a detailed study, which evaluates a wide variety of factors for candidate cities. For instance, 17 themes were used to evaluate the host city for the 2012 Olympic Games, including political and economic climate and structure, legal aspects, customs and immigration formalities, security, technology, and media operations. Although the IOC Evaluation Commission makes no explicit reference to human rights issues in its reports, the committee does in fact take the human rights arguments into consideration.
History of using the Olympic Games as a tool for human rights reforms
Under the Fundamental Principles of Olympism mandated in the Olympic Charter, the IOC may undertake its specific political role in seeking to bring about change to states' practice regarding human rights. Although not every attempt produced a positive and effective result, the successful uses of the Olympic Games as a tool for improving human rights practices in the cases of South Africa and South Korea are worth noting.
Beginning in 1948, South Africa adopted the policy of apartheid, which was condemned by the international community. Originally, the IOC was reluctant to support the proposal of using the exclusion of South Africa from the Olympic Games as a weapon against apartheid because such exclusion seemed to be inconsistent with the Olympic ideal that political actions should stay separate from international sport. Yet, the fourth and sixth Fundamental Principles of Olympism recognize the practice of sport as a human right and further prohibit discrimination grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or other considerations incompatible with the Olympic Movement. These principles grounded the IOC's later decision to boycott South Africa in order to combat its apartheid practice which limited the country's Olympic team to whites.
The South African boycott was first implemented in the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games. After a later investigation conducted during the preparation for the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games, the IOC found that while the South African government had adopted a non-discrimination policy in terms of training, selecting and lodging of its athletes, the policy of segregated competition was still in force. South African was once again excluded from the Games, and the exclusion lasted for 28 years. Eventually, a mixed South African Olympic team participated in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.
One may find it hard to conclude that the IOC boycotts alone resulted in the change of policy. However, Nelson Mandela himself said that the South African presence at the Games after the apartheid era had a "significance which goes beyond the boundaries of sport," and the exclusion from the Olympic Games did effectively induce human rights reform in South Africa.
The 1988 Seoul Olympic Games brought international visibility and increased pressure for a democratic Korea. The decision of selecting South Korea came just 17 months after the massacre of 200 pro-democracy activists in Kwangju. Critics of the Seoul Olympic bid believed that it was inappropriate to select a country, which under military rule committed human rights abuses, and whose reputation was tainted with corruption, assassinations and instability. On the other hand, South Korea viewed hosting the Games as an opportunity for the world to recognize its successes and welcome it into the Olympic Movement. In light of its commitment to host the Summer Olympics, Korea knew that it could not afford the international criticism that would result from massive human rights violations. Just a year before the Games, South Korean strongman Chun Doo Hwan released 2335 political prisoners and stepped down from office thus paving the way for democracy. Juan Antonio Samaranch, President of the IOC, has stated that holding the 1988 Olympics in South Korea helped spur the country's transformation from military dictatorship to democracy.
The IOC also played an active role in the process. On the one hand, the then President of the IOC made it known that the games might be moved elsewhere in case of massive disorders in South Korea. On the other hand, while there was the threat of non-participation by a number of countries, the IOC engaged in direct conversations with important political power player at the time and promoted the idea that boycotting would only temporarily annoy or enrage the host country and hurt its people. Such diplomatic approach resulted in the almost full participation of the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games and in the establishment of respect for the IOC.
Has it always worked?
While the history of the Olympic Games have seen some success in bringing about positive changes regarding the respect of human rights, concrete improvements and reforms have not always been the case. As China presented its bid for the Beijing Olympics, commitments were expressed towards the enhancement of both economic and social sectors, including the promotion of human rights. Although one may not conclude that hosting the Olympic Games has not stimulated any advancement in China's human rights policies, reports of the abuse of housing rights, freedom of expression and the rights of the detainees demonstrated that more should have been done for Beijing to deliver what it has promised. Differences in the international and domestic politics provide plausible explanations why the successful experience in South Africa and South Korea was not duplicated in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The difference in the IOC's attitudes could be another reason, as human rights groups and non-governmental organizations have at times pointed to the IOC's reluctance to speak out about the human rights abuse and violations.
While the use of the Olympic Games as a stimulus for human rights reforms does not always achieve same level of success, host cities and countries have nevertheless been put in the spotlight, and from the preparation to the running of the Games, all relevant policies and practice of the host countries have been closely monitored by the international media and human rights groups alike. While overnight head to toe transformation may not be plausible, continuous and persistent efforts in advocating changes could still catalyze gradual reforms with respect to human rights.

Os campeonatos da Europa de ciclismo em pista são competições de ciclismo em pista organizadas pela União Europeia de ciclismo (UEC) que reagrupa todas as disciplinas da pista. É organizado anualmente pela União Europeia de Ciclismo (UEC) desde 2010. Adicionalmente existe um Campeonato Europeu de Ciclismo em Pista para jovens e sub-23, realizado desde 2001.

Estes campeonatos são a primeira série qualificativa para os Jogos Olímpicos. Os campeonatos da Europa para as elites existem desde o começo do século XXI. Em 2010 foi criada o primeiro campeonato da Europa Elites que reagrupa as provas olímpicas.

História
Desde mais de 100 anos, dos campeonatos da Europa estão organizados no ciclismo em pista profissional. Não obstante, as temporadas não se desenvolviam na uma base anual mas esporádica e estavam organizadas por organizadores privados. O nome « Campeonato Europeu » não era protegido. Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, os « Campeonatos Europeus » eram mais frequentes nos velódromos de Inverno. Organizava-se não só as disciplinas « clássicas » tais que a velocidade individual, mas também a omnium (que era diferente da competição praticada nos Campeonatos do mundo e nos Jogos Olímpicos), as carreiras traseiras Derny e a perseguição à americana, das provas que não eram então todas incluídas no programa dos campeonatos do mundo. Estes campeonatos da Europa não têm de carácter oficial, mas ficam unidos ao prestígio, tanto mais quanto um maillot em ouro está introduzido para os campeões da Europa, no qual os raios arco-íris do maillot de campeão do mundo estão localizadas verticalmente. O corredor belga Rik Van Steenbergen apreciava particularmente este maillot (que tem conseguido seis vez) e o levava com frequência durante as carreiras.

Em 1956, os investidores europeus de velódromo fundaram a União Europeia dos Velódromos de Inverno, que até à temporada de 1971/1972, era a única organização de campeonatos da Europa de profissionais. Para os amadores, não tinha sempre campeonatos continentais. Não obstante, os organizadores escolhiam eles próprios os corredores e permitiam os pares de corredores de diferentes nacionalidades de participar na perseguição à americana. Ademais, os corredores não europeus estavam admitidos, o que explica porquê os Australianos Reginald Arnold e Danny Clark têm conseguido títulos europeus.

Em 1965, a Federação mundial de ciclismo, a União Ciclista Internacional (UCI), criava duas "divisões", a Federação internacional do ciclismo amador (FIAC) para os amadores e a Federação internacional de ciclismo profissional (FICP) para os profissionais. O FICP toma o relevo em 1972, mas os campeonatos da Europa param aos profissionais e são então oficialmente nomeados Campeonato de Inverno, porque os não-Europeus puderam continuar a participar e os participantes são sempre convidados. O antigo maillot de ouro está substituído por um maillot branco que leva o logo da FICP. Os últimos campeonatos de Inverno têm tido lugar em 1990 em Grenoble.

Após 1993 no ciclismo, a separação entre profissionais e aficionados é abolida. A União Europeia de ciclismo (UEC) está fundada em 1995 e é a partir de agora a organizadora de numerosos campeonatos da Europa Elites nas diferentes disciplinas do ciclismo. Em ciclismo em pista, as diferentes disciplinas não estavam num primeiro momento incluídas tais como o Derny, a carreira à americana e a omnium sprint e endurance. Em 2001, os campeonatos da Europa de ciclismo em pista juniores e esperanças foram criados. Desde 2010, os Campeonato Europeu Elites estão organizados. O campeonato da Europa de carreira por trás de derny tem lugar geralmente em lugares diferentes, salvo se o velódromo da temporada em curso convém.

If you've been involved in incident involving domestic violence in North Carolina you will want to consult with a Raleigh criminal lawyer who can help you navigate the criminal system and also any other ramifications the criminal problem may cause in your personal life. A lawyer should be sensitive not only to the criminal problems associated with domestic violence, but sensitive to the impact a domestic violence conviction can have on your personal and family life.
That's because domestic violence is treated differently in North Carolina (and most states) from other kinds of criminal acts.
1) What is domestic violence?
2) How will the police treat a call involving a domestic violence matter?
Generally, a call involving a report of domestic violence will be followed by an arrest. In the olden days, police might respond to a call involving domestic violence, and simply tell both the husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend to take a break. Or the woman, who had been hit by her partner, would tell the police that it was "no big deal" and the police would leave the scene, only to be called back later in the evening when, usually, the husband or boyfriend had beat the heck out of the woman.
Beginning in the 1980s, aided particularly by women's advocacy organizations, police departments around the country began to reform procedures. Today, many police departments operate under a "shall arrest" policy, which means that even if both the man and woman insist that everything is ok, someone will be arrested.
Sometimes the person who called the police will be arrested if the police believe that the person who called them instigated the fight.
3) How will the person arrested be handled in a Domestic Violence situation?
North Carolina has a special statute governing the pre-trial release of individuals accused of these crimes. First, the defendant will be held in custody for up to 48 hours or until seeing a District Court judge, whichever is sooner. This is different from the way defendants are treated where they may have committed a minor crime that does not involve domestic violence. In those cases, there is no mandatory detention. But in DV situations, there is a mandatory detention until a District Court judge can hear the case, or 48 hours passes.
4) Will any special conditions be placed on a person released from custody in a Domestic Violence situation?
If a person is arrested on a DV charge and the charge is minor and the person has no prior criminal record, the person may be eligible for pre-trial release. This means that the person must check in once a week with a member of the pre-trial release program. Otherwise, the person is free to go about his or her business. Or the person can post a bond, either himself or herself or through a bondsman.
In addition, the judge will impose a "no contact" order which requires the person to have no contact with the alleged victim. This will sometimes complicate a situation where the couple lives together, or where there are children involved who must be moved from household to household.
A "no contact" order can be lifted if either the alleged victim shows up at the First Appearance hearing where the District Judge and tells the District Judge that the victim does not want a "no contact" order imposed.
5) What can a lawyer do to help a defendant who has been charged with a Domestic Violence crime?
An Apex, Cary, or Raleigh criminal lawyer can help a defendant navigate the criminal process, and also work with the defendant to try to minimize the impact on the defendant's life and on the domestic situation. For instance, in some cases the couple is in the process of getting divorced. A criminal lawyer can help to keep the criminal situation from interfering with an otherwise amicable divorce. Most importantly, an Apex, Raleigh or Cary criminal lawyer can help minimize the effect a domestic violence conviction can have on an individuals life, employment, and criminal record.

Q: retrieve thumbnail from post ID of best selling product in category The code below displays product category names, links and their thumbnails on hover. The thumbnails ($image) retrieved are those manually set via the woocommerce product category menu.
I am trying to instead, get these product category thumbnails from the best selling product in each. Im really not sure how to include new wp_query & get_post_meta to this. With this addition my thumbnails no longer display at all.

// Close last column, if any.
if ( $_new_col ) {
    $columns .= '

}
?>

A: What I understood from your question is, you want to display the best selling products category image. In that case you need to loop through your product WP_Query .. Like you have wrote and each loop just use wp_get_object_terms function. It will return product category associated with it.
Hope it will help for you.

A: What I understood from your question is, you want to get the best seller product in each category and set its image as a category thumb.
you will need to loop through all categories then you will need also a nested loop in each category for the best product in the current loop of categories, then you will have the access to the best seller product image.
the following code will describe more (UnTested):

$terms = get_terms( 'product_cat', array(
    'hide_empty' => false,
) );

foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
    $query = new WP_Query( [
        'post_type'      => 'product',
        'posts_per_page' => 1,
        'meta_key'       => 'total_sales',
        'orderby'        => 'meta_value_num',
        'tax_query'      => array(
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
                'field'    => 'slug',
                'terms'    => $term->slug,
            ),
        ),
    ] );
    if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
        while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
            $query->the_post();
            $thumbnail = 'DEFAULT THUMBNAIL ID';
            if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
                $thumbnail = get_post_thumbnail_id();
                //THEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SET THE CATEGORY THUMBNAIL WITH THIS PRODUCT THUMBNAIL ID
            }
        }
    }
    wp_reset_postdata();
}

WTF! Too scary for this little flower.
I see beautiful eyes, luscious lips, and a hat that needs the legs trimmed off 🙂 Too many tattoos for my tastes. All of that lovely, smooth brown skin, covered up that way. It should be against the law!
Is that like a big joint in his hand… or an over-cooked burrito?

The largest barrier island in the Golden Isles, St. Simons Island lies across the immortalized Marshes of Glynn, made famous by poet Sidney Lanier. Moss-draped oaks line the winding island streets, creating a picture-perfect image worthy of a Faulkner tale. The island's villages offer a charming and unique selection of shops.
Lunch or dinner, bring friends and family together for fresh, passionately prepared Italian neighborhood food at Tramici Restaurant. From our mammoth brick oven comes wondrous things such as chicken, spaghetti, lasagna, perfect pizzas and herb-bathed breads. Enjoy simple and sensational dishes inside, 'round the bar, in the dining room, or the open-air in the courtyard.
Located on the midpoint of the Island near the traffic circle, St. Simons' Redfern Village district offers an array of shops and restaurants, eclectic storefronts tucked away in a shady village setting. You'll find plenty to eat or stores to visit, including antiques and artwork, gifts and jewelry, clothing and home accessories.
Located near the village and pier. The Lighthouse and Keeper's Dwelling were built in 1872 to replace the original lighthouse built in 1810 by James Gould of MA, the first lighthouse keeper. The original lighthouse was destroyed by Confederate forces in 1861 to prevent the beacon's use by Federal troops during the Civil War. The Lighthouse is one of only five surviving light towers in GA. The Lighthouse still serves as an active aid to navigation for ships entering St. Simons Sound, casting its beam as far as 23 miles to sea. Visitors may climb the 129 steps to the top to experience spectacular, panoramic views of the coast including Jekyll Island, the mainland (Brunswick), and the south end of St. Simons Island.
Southern Soul Barbeque is scarcely a decade old, and its founders—Harrison Sapp and Griffin Bufkin—learned their secrets cooking in the backyard with their families and friends, not from a long line of restaurateurs.
Housed in a converted 1940s gas station just a mile from the beach, Southern Soul has earned a loyal following among vacationers. The broad menu nods at the local Georgia style with smoky pulled pork and tangy Brunswick stew, but they offer plenty of ribs, brisket, and smoked chicken wings too. The sauces span regional boundaries: two versions of zesty red Georgia Soul (hot or sweet) plus two inspired by flavors of the Carolinas.
Enjoy your Family Style meal at their and made tables – featuring dishes meant for two, three, or 12 in addition to their regular plated dishes. This type of service is reflective of a broader trend: a more communal, comfortable dining experience in an upscale environment.
New, fun neighborhood bar & grill open Monday – Saturday 11:00 am – 2:00 am featuring a delicious fresh menu, friends, family, live music that won't cause hearing damage on Friday & Saturday and a whole lot of fun.
Richland is so much more than a brand… it is the name of the Estate where Richland Rum is produced, it is the name of the town in Georgia where Richland Rum is born, and it is the name of a people's history which has called this townhome for many years. To achieve anything of lasting value, a commitment to quality must be held. The Richland process is dedicated to a standard that disregards the ideas of efficiency, or quantity. Cutting corners is best suited for those who wish to hurry along… Richland Rum does not hurry. Richland Rum is given its required time to mature, and the length of time needed is up to the rum. There is no formula or number system which could decide the fate of such creative spirit.

Muncie teen charged as an adult in robbery, chase
MUNCIE — A Muncie teenager will be prosecuted as an adult on allegations he stole a local man's truck and fled from police, all while armed with a handgun.
Michael Iman White, 17, of the 4100 block of South Pinewood Drive, was charged in Delaware Circuit Court 5 on Monday with robbery, auto theft, carrying a handgun without a license and two counts of resisting law enforcement.
White — who had been arrested April 24 — was transferred Monday from the Delaware County Juvenile Detention Center to the Delaware County jail, where he continued to be held Wednesday under a $35,000 bond.
Authorities allege White displayed a handgun to a Muncie resident in the parking lot of a South Madison Street convenience store before driving off in that man's pickup truck, which had been left unattended with its engine running.
The teenager was arrested a short time later after leading an Indiana State Police trooper on a chase that began on Ind. 67 in Daleville and ended near Ind. 32 in Chesterfield.
Authorities said after fleeing on foot from the stolen truck, White was apprehended by a police K-9 that bit his arm and leg. The youth was treated for bite wounds at IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital.
The most serious charge against him, robbery, is a Level 3 felony carrying up to 16 years in prison.

IT Leadership // CIO Insights & Innovation
Salesforce Says New-Business Signings Dropped In Q1
Salesforce.com's first-quarter new-business signings came in slightly below last year's as customers took longer to sign, opted for smaller deals, and pulled back on add-ons and upgrades. And while Salesforce is still growing nicely, CEO Marc Benioff was more restrained in the comments he made to analysts than he had been after the previous two quarters.
Salesforce.com's first-quarter new-business signings came in slightly below last year's as customers took longer to sign, opted for smaller deals, and pulled back on add-ons and upgrades. And while Salesforce is still growing nicely, CEO Marc Benioff was more restrained in the comments he made to analysts than he had been after the previous two quarters.Because of that first-quarter slip in new-business signings - which Salesforce defines as incremental orders from new and existing customers, excluding renewals - the company is reducing its guidance on full-year revenue growth by 4%, Benioff said, and projecting revenue growth of 17% for the 12 months ending Jan. 31, which would total between $1.25 billion and $1.27 billion.
Benioff noted a few times that customers are spending less: "There's no doubt the IT spending environment continues to be challenged. The buying behaviors of our customers are indeed changing, as businesses look to manage their way through the challenging global economic environment," he said in comments on a quarterly call with analysts.
And while Benioff did make some specific comments about how Salesforce had a number of significant wins against Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft, he also was less contentious than he was in his call three months ago with analysts, when he hammered away at competitors by saying their models were old, slow, expensive, capital-intensive, and inflexible. This time around - and probably stinging a bit from having to admit a drop in new-business signings and a downward revision in guidance for the full year - Benioff touted the superiority of Salesforce's cloud strategy but in less belligerent terms.
"Customers are investing in our platform with clicks and code, not capital, and the momentum of this adoption reinforces our belief that we have the right products for times like these," he told the analysts on the call. "As we mentioned earlier, we're in a challenging IT spending environment, but as we listen to customers and prospects around the world, it's clear they're moving, and more willing than ever, to question the conventional client-server wisdom of major software, hardware, and data-center purchases."
Among the customers that went beyond questioning those models and signing on the bottom line for Salesforce in the quarter were the following:
--Japanese insurance giant Sompo extended its deal with Salesforce with an additional 16,000 subscribers, giving them a total of 25,000 internal users of the Salesforce unlimited edition. Sompo also purchased licenses for an additional 350,000 partner subscribers for brokers and dealers in 50,000 insurance offices across Japan. Benioff called it "a dramatic example of our ability to win in accounts that are dominated by Oracle and Microsoft." --Japan Post added about 10,000 platform subscribers, pushing the total to 75,000 Force.com subscribers in 25,000 offices across Japan. Benioff said the deal will allow Japan Post to manage more than 20 Force.com applications that are central to converting Japan Post from a government-run to a private entity. --Wins against Oracle: Benioff cited Sompo and Japan Post, as well as GE Capital, JM Smucker Co., Standard Bank, Pfizer, Broadcom, Canon USA, Iron Mountain, Barclays, Sanyo, P&G, and Sony. --Wins against SAP: Benioff cited Pratt & Whitney, McKesson, Nokia, Nexis, Inverness Medical, Integris, and P&H Mining. --Wins against Microsoft: Benioff cited Western Union, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Singapore Airport.
And in an anecdote that captured the growth-with-restraint attitude Benioff was exuding, he said the company gained 3,900 net new customers in the quarter, a 50% increase over the 2,600 net new additions from a year earlier - however, he also noted that "many of those 3,900" are starting with small deployments but "we'll hope they'll grow to become tomorrow's growth stories."
A final detail: CFO Graham Smith said the company has been rigorous in cutting expenses, particularly in the area of hiring: last year, he said, Salesforce added 1,000 employees, including 250 in the quarter ended Jan. 31. But armed with the knowledge of what was happening with customers this quarter, the company has hired only 40 people in the three months ended April 30.

And while they worked, Gaud looked attentively around the home of these Gaoses.
Gaud excused herself as if she were responsible for her state.
She was still so sweet in her lucid days, that Gaud did not cease to respect and cherish her.
He said this with such simple confidence that Gaud was amused.
Gaud did not wish yet to resort to that extreme resource of despairing wives.
Gaud felt very troubled at the idea of going to Yann's house.
But at the beginning of the evening, Gaud always had to talk to her to cheer her a little.
She understood immediately what Gaud was doing there; it was useless to dissemble with her.

CNBC | Revolving Door
By A.J. Katz on Sep. 9, 2017 - 9:16 AM
CNBC continues to invest in CNBC Digital in 2017, and the network made a number of staffing announcements this past Thursday which they feel will strengthen the team.
New hires, all of whom will report to Jeff McCracken, include Spencer Kimball as CNBC.com news editor, Christina Wilkie as a Washington-based politics reporter, Leslie Josephs as a CNBC airline reporter covering airlines, the DHS and travel. and Lauren Hirsch as a CNBC retail and consumer reporter.

I am pleased to announce some recent additions to the CNBC Digital group.
Jeff McCracken has hired a number of folks to his growing team:
• Spencer Kimball joins CNBC.com as a News Editor on the breaking news team. He has relocated to New York from Chicago, where he spent two years as U.S. editor of Handelsblatt Global, the English edition of the daily German business newspaper. While there, Spencer worked in breaking news, writing, translating and editing articles. Before that, he worked in several positions at Deutsche Welle, Germany's international broadcaster. Spencer graduated from Centre College with a bachelor's degree in International Studies and German, and speaks three languages.
• Leslie Josephs joins the team as an Airline Reporter, covering airlines, the Department of Homeland Security and travel issues. She was most recently a travel and transportation reporter at Quartz. Before that, she spent more than five years at The Wall Street Journal covering stocks, ETFs, small business and commodity markets, including what was then the budding market for premium-grade coffee and chocolate.

Her scoops include Bass Pro Shops' $5 billion bid for Cabela's, Restaurant Brands International's $1.8 billion acquisition of Popeyes, Dr. Pepper's $1.7 billion acquisition of Bai Brands and Abercrombie & Fitch's sale process.

She studied comparative literature at Cornell University and has her MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.
• Christina Wilkie joins as a Politics Reporter based in Washington, covering the Trump administration. Previously, she was a White House reporter for The Huffington Post, a beat she took over in January after more than five years as a National Political Reporter, during which she focused primarily on lobbying, money in politics and the influence industry. During the 2012 and 2016 presidential campaigns, Christina covered the Republican field from the primaries through Election Day, producing breaking news and investigative stories with an emphasis on the candidates' private sector experience and their economic proposals. Prior to joining The Huffington Post in 2011, Christina reported for The Hill, where she wrote In the Know, a blog and weekly column on Congress and the culture of Capitol Hill. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Trinity College.
• Elizabeth Gurdus is now in a staff position, full-time as a News Associate, working as a digital producer for CNBC's "Mad Money w/Jim Cramer." Prior to joining CNBC, she held internships at WABC, CNN.com, the Observer, and Vice News, covering a range of fields including local news, politics, and commentary. Elizabeth graduated from NYU in May 2016 with a dual bachelor's degree in journalism and dramatic literature.
• Berkeley Lovelace Jr. also joins CNBC.com in a full-time staff position as a News Associate, covering breaking news and helping mine CNBC's television guests. He started at CNBC in May 2016 as a Fellow before becoming a News Associate. Prior to CNBC, he worked with the MU School of Journalism and The Associated Press in New York on developing new ways to tell stories using 360 video and virtual reality. He holds a BA in Journalism from the University of Missouri.
Additionally, Jenna Goudreau has hired Abigail Hess in a full-time staff position as a News Associate based at 1221. Abigail is already a familiar face on the Make It team by way of the CNBC News Associate program and covers careers and education, reporting to Kathryn Dill. Before CNBC, Abby worked as a research analyst at Third Bridge Group and interned at Amazon. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in media arts and sciences and political science from Wellesley College.
Please join me in welcoming Spencer, Leslie, Lauren, Christina, Liz, Berkeley and Abigail to CNBC Digital.
