Podcasts about Stoli

What happens when a mid-level drug dealer gets killed, instantly wakes up inside the body of a newborn baby with his adult consciousness completely intact, and decides to spend his childhood plotting revenge? That is the bizarre, hilarious, and strangely heartwarming premise behind Imagine My Surprise!, the latest novel by K.S. Haddock. Originally conceived all the way back in 2008 as a piece of auto-fiction—where he used his own name and those of his real-life friends—the manuscript sat on a shelf for nearly a decade after he hit a wall with the ending. It wasn't until a push from his current editor that Haddock stripped out the self-insert elements, locked down the structural arc, and finally brought the novel to the finish line. We talked a lot about the inherent comedy of the book's premise, particularly the scenes where the main character, Keenan, treats his daycare like a halfway house and slips out for middle-of-the-night tactical walks while he is still less than two feet tall. To make his revenge plot work before he's even old enough to get a driver's license, Keenan has to recruit an ally: an eccentric man named Stoli who hangs out behind a neighborhood 7-Eleven. It's an odd-couple dynamic born out of Haddock's own college years working shifts at a 7-Eleven.Beyond the page, Haddock utilized his background as a digital artist and art director to completely design the book's striking cover and interior layout himself. He also shared the fascinating process behind creating the audiobook, which he recorded over seven months out of a DIY tent setup in his garage alongside close friends and actors. We also touched on his personal background growing up in a musical family with Alabama roots, his early success getting published at twenty-five, and his current advocacy project, "Real Men Read," which aims to get more young men interested in reading for pleasure. Imagine My Surprise! is out now on Heresy Press, an imprint of Skyhorse Publishing, and is an incredibly satisfying read that pulls off a wild concept with absolute confidence.

NESEDA pre mňa nikdy nebola obyčajná stolička, ale odpoveď na civilizačný problém chronického sedenia, gravipauzy a fyzickej degenerácie moderného človeka. Jej príbeh sa začal víziou vytvoriť pracovné prostredie, ktoré človeka nebude pasívne usádzať, ale bude ho prirodzene pozývať k pohybu počas práce. Spolu s Michalom Trubanom sme z prvých surových skíc, odborného presvedčenia a mnohých prototypov postupne vytvorili fyzický produkt, ktorý otvoril novú kategóriu aktívneho „ne-sedenia“. V tomto video článku mapujem dôležité míľniky projektu: vznik myšlienky, vývoj, predpredaj, výrobu, zmeny vo vedení, vlastnícke premeny aj hľadanie udržateľného obchodného modelu. Nie je to však iba história produktu, ale aj moje osobné svedectvo o tom, čo veľký projekt urobí s človekom, ktorý sa rozhodne udržať víziu pri živote. Otvorene pomenúvam vlastné chyby, slabé stránky aj morálne ponaučenia, ktoré vyplynuli z rokov práce, tlaku, naivity, dôvery, konfliktov a neľahkých rozhodnutí. NESEDA sa tak pre mňa stala nielen produktom, ale aj školou odvahy, charakteru, podnikateľskej zrelosti a pokory. Tento článok spolu s videom je určený všetkým, ktorí cítia, že chcú vytvoriť niečo väčšie než seba, no zatiaľ nenašli odvahu začať.

If someone asked you about French, Korean, or Thai food, you could probably name some signature flavors and dishes. I certainly can. Well, what about American food? What stands out for you there and what IS it, really? Today we're going to dig into the roots of American cuisine with food journalist David Page, who initially was an investigative journalist but turned his attention to food. And he's author of a book called Food Americana: The Remarkable People and Incredible Stories Behind America's Favorite Dishes. But you might also know David's work from television. He was executive producer on the hit series Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives for 11 years. He has two Emmy awards and has his own podcast series, which is excellent, called Culinary Characters Unlocked. Interview Transcript So, here's the book: Food Americana. It's really a wonderful read and, you know, every case study you go through in the book, like pizza, Chinese food, Mexican food, every one is completely fascinating. I'd love to dive in and hear more about your thoughts about how all this unfolded. So, is there such a thing as American cuisine and how did you come to write this book, Food Americana? Well, the short answer is yes, there's American Cuisine. I came to write it out of personal experience. I became really deeply interested in food when I was posted overseas for NBC News as a producer and traveling from country to country, pre-Internet. And not ever having expected to leave America. I mean, they called me up one day and said, Hey, you wanna move to England? And from there I moved to Germany and then Budapest, Hungary. I was remarkably unprepared for all of the places I was being sent. And I kind of had a study pretty quickly. And I found that one of the best ways to understand a country or culture was through its food. You know, why do they eat so much wild boar in Tuscany? Well, because it was historically a poor region. And if you wanted to eat, you had to kill something. And what you were most likely to find that you could kill was a wild boar. When you go to Strasburg in France, why are you eating Germanic choucroute, which is, you know, pork on top of sauerkraut. Well, that reveals to you that that area went back and forth in terms of which country owned it forever. And that really awakened in me a deep interest in food. When I got back to the States, I eventually ended up creating Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. And that got me deep into American food, if you will. And, more and more over time, I stockpiled stories and interests and decided as all TV producers do eventually, whether they actually act on it or not. Everyone thinks it's easy to write TV and it's hard to write a book. Those of us who are TV producers carry a chip on our shoulder because frankly, it's harder to write for television. You can't just sit down and type out whatever you want to type out. You've got to figure out the words that integrate with the pictures and that can move the pictures forward. But, you know, we all think we have a book in us, and I said, what interests me? And it was this. And I dived in; thoroughly enjoyed the process. To answer the other half of the question, I came to the conclusion looking at everything that I had put on Diners, looking at every place that I liked eating in various towns, there was a cuisine. It was something we constructed, much like we constructed American democracy out of other countries and cultures. And you know, when you go to a Chinese restaurant in America, all of us have gone with that real bore who looks up and says, this isn't authentic Chinese food. Well, no, it's not authentic Chinese food. It is authentic Chinese American food. Just as, with the exception of something called polpette, which are very small round meatballs, there are no meatballs as we know them in Italy. When the poorest of the poor left Southern Italy to come to the United States in the 1800s, to their shock when they got here, they found out that being poor here was different than being poor there, where even pasta was considered a luxury item and only enjoyed on a Sunday, if ever. Here, poor people could afford meat. And that is what created Italian American cuisine, which is to a great extent based on abbondanza, you know, a whole lot of everything. I live in New Jersey where red sauce cooking means open your belt and, you know, strap in for a few hours of absolute gluttony. And we've done that with bagels from Poland. In Poland, they weren't quite what they are here. But they were similar, and they were sold by Jewish peddlers in the streets on long sticks. Because they had holes in the middle, you could, you could stack 'em on the sticks and young kids would walk around the town square shouting in polish. I don't know the actual words but shouting something that translated as bagels and lemonade. When Jewish immigrants arrived in the United States, packed into the Lower East side into tenements, they did what they knew how to do. And bakers started making bagels which then became far more than a Jewish food. They became a New York food. And then in horribly awful incarnations, they became an American food. I would argue it's still hard to get a decent bagel outside of New York for any number of reasons, but bagels are American cuisine now. They're not the bagels per se that were eaten in Poland. But there's something from another country that we took and made into our own. And by the way, the cuisine continues to evolve. It now includes Vietnamese banh mi. As more and more cuisines are sampled here, they're modified by the lack of availability of original ingredients for the immigrants who are here who have to look for alternatives. And they're modified to suit broader tastes. You know, the original spices of much of Mexican cuisine... and when I say Mexican cuisine, it was basically the food of the Nortenos, Northern Mexico, because as with all countries, Mexico is a combination of cuisines based on regionality. But, when Americans started sampling, quote, Mexican cuisine, unquote, much of it was too hot for us. For the most part, those people who had lived in what was Mexico who were now living in America after the Mexican American war, when America seized half of Mexico. Those who opened restaurants realize that, you know, if you want a broader clientele, you better tone things down. That's the Americanization of another culture's food, and that is American cuisine. I'm hoping you wouldn't mind taking a little detour and talk about how magical it is to connect with a culture through food and through the people you meet in that context. You and I were talking before we started recording and you mentioned a trip you made to Spain and how wonderful this particular connection was. And I was thinking about some things I've done recently that have connected me with people and their history through their food. And there's something very magical about that. But tell us about your trip to Spain because I thought it was very interesting. My wife and I went to Spain a few years ago, and I had worked in Spain a fair amount when I was overseas as a journalist. But I'd never really had the opportunity to do much vacation in Spain. And I can't remember if it was Madrid or Valencia, it may have been Valencia. But we signed up for a half day cooking course. And we showed up and it was taught by somebody's grandmother. I made the mistake of trying to be polite and use my leftover high school Spanish, and I was the only one who in the class who did. So, she decided I was fluent, which I'm not. But she and I had a lengthy conversation during the class, which consisted of her saying things I did not understand in me nodding my head and saying, si. But it was just a remarkably wonderful experience to have my hands on and in and be learning about another culture. You know, one of the things I realized when I first started traveling much of the world for NBC and again, I had never expected to be sent overseas, was that there are a million ways to do things. You know, this is going to sound kind of gross, but until you go overseas and you realize there are different shapes to toilets, you know, people look at the same problem and figure it out in slightly different ways. You learn that there are multiple ways to approach things, to address things, to do things. And first of all, the cooking in Spain is extraordinary. And it's an underappreciated cuisine here in the United States. But, you know, we're in cooking class making a Spanish tortilla, which is not a Mexican tortilla. Mexican tortilla obviously is a disc of dough, either corn or wheat, depending upon the region. A tortilla in Spain is an omelet, but more than an omelet, it's kinda like a frittata. It's a very thick, almost spongy, egg-based product with potatoes in it. And making that and learning how to make that and the way that this teacher had clearly been making it, that she had learned from her mother, who had learned from her mother. You know, you turn it upside down to get it out of the dish. It was just a wonderful experience. And look, I've been fortunate enough to have that experience in any number of countries. This one, wasn't terribly culinary, but I was in Moscow in a bar frequented by locals. And this was under the Soviet Union; it was a long time ago. But they had the bars for Westerners where they took dollars and served the good vodka, which Russians could not get by the way. I mean, there was no Stoli for Russians. But we were in this real low rent bar and a guy sat down next to me with Asian features. And through, kind of, hand signals and some assistance from I guess one of the NBC translators or something, we exchanged life stories. It turned out he was visiting from Siberia to do some kind of business. Had never been to the big city. And he had... everything in the Soviet Union was crappy. I mean, it was made of plastic. He had a plastic briefcase. But he was here on business apparently. And as we got drunker and friendlier and you know, arms around each other and hail fellow well met, he opened his briefcase to reveal that it was filled with salted fish. He had brought his own delicacy from home because you never know what you're going to find in the big, bad city. And sitting at that bar, I had me some Siberian salted fish and it was damn fine. What a neat experience. Oh, it was fantastic. Just fantastic. You've reminded me, and I was mentioning this to you as well, but I love barbecue of all kinds from all places. And the North Carolina form of barbecue is typically pulled pork. And the Eastern part of the state is famous for cooking whole hogs, the Western part for cooking just the pork shoulder. But in the Eastern part they say they talk about cooking everything but the squeal. And there's a local restaurant in Raleigh, which is about a half hour for me and where I live in Durham. And there's a well-known barbecue icon in North Carolina named Sam Jones, who's the third generation of his family to run a restaurant in a little town called Aiden, North Carolina, which is frequently considered the best barbecue place in the state. Sam, at his restaurant in Raleigh, was running a half a day intensive workshop for those of us out there in the world who want to learn more about it. I took that workshop and it was a wonderful experience just like you're talking about. Because not only did I learn about the techniques of cooking the food and I was in their smokehouse, and it was just a great experience. But this fellow, Sam himself, was a really interesting character. And to hear about his family history and what the food means to them and how they learned the traditions and stuff was just absolutely fascinating. And I'm reaching for, I got a copy of a book he wrote on whole hog barbecue. There's Sam himself and with... Daniel Vaughn the writer. Yes, that's exactly right. What a great experience. I feel as you do that connecting with cultures through their food and meeting the people is just an incredible experience. Let's get back to your book now, Food Americana. So, you gave us the example of bagels, you talked a little bit about Chinese food, but give us some more richness to how these foods might have begun and what kind of forms they took in America. And I know you talked about pizza as one example. I thought the pizza one was especially interesting. Part of it is because I spent many years of my career at Yale University and was surrounded by New Haven Pizza, which was unbelievable. Which is called what? Apizza? Apizza. Yes. Well, that's coal-fired thin crust, right? Coal-fired. You know, I could go in one of those restaurants and just order crust and be happy. It was that good. What I found interesting in researching one of the New Haven pizzas that's legendary is clam pizza. And what I learned was that the clams weren't from Connecticut. That they were brought in from someplace else. I just assumed, because, you know, you got the water there that that was a local thing. And apparently it was not, which surprised the hell outta me. I mean, I live on the coast of New Jersey and there's a place down here that does its version of clam pizza and it is local clams. Oh, that's interesting. Pizza was the food of the poor in the South of Italy. Pizza was basically dough with a little bit of tomato. And if you had a couple of bucks that day, that week, maybe you put a piece of lard on top. I mean that, that was it. And when the immigrants began arriving in the United States and found that good food was easier to obtain, that's when pizza started to morph into what we know it as today. Now the wheat in Italy was different than the wheat here. The form of a fire being used was different. I'm trying to remember, I guess it was coal in New York at the time, and wood in Italy. So, you ended up with a different kind of crust in terms of airiness and crispness. But what you also ended up with is a perfect example of the development of American cuisine. Which is every place that pizza went, it was different. It evolved based on what was available in a particular region. You've got pizza in, I think it's St. Louis, maybe Kansas City, where they use kind of a processed provel cheese. I guess it's St. Louis. Because that's what they had. That's nothing. It's not mozzarella. It's not Parmesan. It's the local cheese. Or you have pizza in Old Forge, Pennsylvania, that was created for the miners by a bar owner using what is rumored to have been government cheese. These were poor people. So that's how that developed. You've got Detroit Pizza, which is having a renaissance moment now, but it has its square shape because it was initially baked in these blue steel automotive pans. They may have been oil pans that were liberated either from an auto factory or a parts supplier. You know, Chicago Pizza certainly developed in a unique way, although there are two kinds of Chicago pizza. There's the deep dish that, it's really a frigging casserole. And then there's cracker thin pizza that, that's delightful. But you see pizza developing according to what's around it. I mean, it's the perfect example of local, regional, seasonal. And then as pizza became a self-perpetuating thing, it then became a kind of a palette for creative American chefs to go nuts. The iconic decision being Wolfgang Puck at Spago in Beverly Hills. Putting what would be politely called smoked salmon, what else? New York Jews would call lox on a pizza with creme fresh and, you know, reinventing the world. In fact, the real reinvention of pizza in that way occurred at California Pizza Kitchen in California, where barbecue chicken pizza became a big deal. And pizza continues to evolve. I mean, I had a debate the other day with the owner and chef at an Italian restaurant about whether or not pineapple goes on pizza. And I obviously, I think that Hawaiian pizza with pineapple and ham is a war crime. He argues that doing what he does, which is a not canned pineapple but fresh pineapple that is macerated, chopped, and served with, I think, pork cheek as opposed to ham. Some more subtle, substantial use of pork that is in fact a terrific combination of flavors. And I'm not going to argue with him because that actually sounded pretty damn good. It does sound good. You know, pizza continues to evolve. What's interesting with pizza is, and I have this complaint with so much of how Americans consume food, is that given the choice between a great local pizzeria and BS factory like Dominoes, so much of America picks Dominoes. I mean, at the time I wrote the book a few years ago, 60% of pizza was sold at chains; 40% was sold at independents. But why, why would you possibly pick this cookie cutter piece of crap when somebody down the street from you is doing it right? You just remind me of so much, and when you mentioned Old Forge, Pennsylvania, when I read that in your book, I have a good friend who lives in Philadelphia. And I got in touch with him. I said, oh, I need to come up to Philadelphia, and we need to make a road trip to the Martin Guitar Factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. And then go down to Old Forge and try this pizza David Page was writing about and stuff. And it's just fun to do this. And I did this recently. I told you earlier, I'd made a road trip and driven part of Route 66 through Oklahoma. And stopped in this little town El Reno and had the famous Oklahoma onion burger at Johnny's and sat at the counter and talked to the cook. And I enjoyed that as much as any four-star, high end, hundreds of dollars meal. It just, it's fun. Well, but there is a misunderstanding of what good food is. I liked, well, many things about what Pete Wells did when he was a New York Times food critic. But one of the things I really liked was the fact that he evaluated restaurants based on their intent. You could be a three-star taco stand. If the promise you are making to someone is, I'm gonna make you the best goddamn taco you ever had. You have to evaluate that based on that. Not, is it La Verna dining? And frankly, our hangup with and fascination on high end haute cuisine, $350 a plate, little, tiny morsels of shit. I much prefer real food. And, you know, the foodie culture goes nuts for stuff that is fru fru, and they did this, and they did that. Making the perfect hamburger in El Reno, Oklahoma, and you know, I talked about how in Tuscany boar was the food of poverty. Onion burgers, which are considered by some purest to be the finest form of hamburger came out of, I think it was the Depression. It was certainly a time of poverty. Where you stretched a burger by adding onions to the meat. And that's a wonderful, wonderful thing. Now, I don't think it was... is El Reno outside Oklahoma City? Yes. It's within an hour drive. Yeah. It's near Tinker Airbase. El Reno is where, I included this in the book, there is a fabulous sushi restaurant in a gas station. Now the local clientele heavily Air Force people who have been in Asia, but apparently, it's phenomenal sushi. And interestingly enough, I just interviewed the chef owner of three restaurants in Oklahoma. He has a restaurant called Gray Sweater, which is highly upscale, and he has a couple of others. He was telling me that the food scene in Oklahoma has been really, really booming under the radar. And I went to school in Oklahoma. I was thrown out of both major state universities. And you know, back when I went, it was great chicken fried steak. There was some barbecue that was basically Texas barbecue that had migrated North. But I didn't see Oklahoma as culinary heaven. And apparently, it's quite the place to eat these days. I would agree with that. I went to some really fine restaurants when I was there. Plus the people are just lovely. Oh, yeah. And by the way, you talk about American cuisine. And I'm not sure if there was a direct evolution, but clearly it's an Americanized form of schnitzel. It's hard to, if you live in the East coast and you haven't had a chicken fried steak...you have no idea what you're missing. But again, food of poverty. You take a bad cut of meat, you tenderize it by beating the hell out of it with a mallet, then you dip it in egg and flour and you deep fry it. I mean that's... Oh, and the right gravy on that. Oh yeah. The cream gravy. Yeah. And, you know, don't mention it to your cardiologist, but I fell in love with that and as a college student with pure grain alcohol when I was in Oklahoma. So, it did have a couple of things I liked. I might have recorded 300 podcasts or something like that, but none has made me as hungry. This is good, right? Oh, it's great. So, let me end with a final question. And I think I can guess how you're going to answer this, but if you look at American cuisine compared to the things that it descended from, like foods from Italy and Mexico, and China and things. Is it just different? Is it authentic in its own right? Is it better worse? How do you think about that? It is wonderfully different. It has an antecedent. It's like looking at a German Shepherd and also being aware it was once a wolf. They're two completely different species. And some of the traits of one are reflected in the other, but they're different cuisines. I mean, I've spent a lot of time in Italy, thank God. And second to Spanish food, it's probably my number two all-time favorite. But, when you look at American cuisine, red sauce Italian is among my favorites. They're totally different cuisines. Chinese food, the same. You know, there's a great book and documentary In Search Of General Tso, in which the writer, Jennifer A. Lee. went looking for the guy who invented General Tso's chicken in Taiwan. And she found him and showed him what his invention had become in America. They bear no resemblance to each other. He was shocked. But I love general. Now, I can't eat it much because had a diabetes scare and had to lose a bunch of weight. But it's a wonderful dish. It is about as Chinese as Matzo. You know, it's an American invention, but remember, American Chinese food began in California after the Gold Rush when a whole bunch of Cantonese people came over to search for gold and they set up restaurants. Some came to set up restaurants for them, and they realized that Americans didn't eat offal, and much of Chinese cuisine is, you know, a nose to tail. So, they either invented or reinvented chopped suey with Americanized proteins and that's what kicked off the Chinese food boom. And there's this mall in Flushing New York that serves the food the way it's served in China. This stuff, it'll blow your mind. It's extraordinary. But that doesn't make the food that you get at a good Chinese American restaurant invalid. It's just wonderfully different. BIO David Page is the President and Executive of Page Productions.

Svo rammt er tekið að kveða að þessu, segir í umfjöllun breska ríkisútvarpsins BBC, að nokkrar stórar verslanakeðjur eru farnar að geyma allra vinsælasta súkkulaðið í læstum plast- eða glerskápum í sumum verslana sinna, þannig að viðskiptavinir þurfa að biðja afgreiðslufólk um aðstoð til að komast í góðgætið.

Send us a textRansomware isn't always after your data anymore—sometimes the goal is to burn your operations down. We open with a hard look at the Stoli bankruptcy and what it teaches about ERP paralysis, regulatory deadlines, and why “we'll restore soon” is not a resilience plan. From there, we shift into a high-impact CISSP Domain 4 walkthrough that connects real-world failures to the protocols and controls that actually reduce risk.We break down HTTPS beyond the lock icon—what it secures, what metadata remains exposed, and how certificate trust can be subverted. You'll get a clear mental model for DNS defenses: why DNSSEC protects integrity but not confidentiality, and how DoH and DoT encrypt queries while complicating DNS filtering. We compare SFTP over SSH with FTPS, clarify LDAP StartTLS on port 389 vs LDAPS on 636, and explain the practical differences between IPsec transport and tunnel modes, including when ESP's symmetric encryption is the right fit.We also zoom in on TLS hygiene: why enabling TLS 1.0 or 1.1 invites downgrade and deprecated cipher risks, what HSTS really does (and doesn't do), and why Perfect Forward Secrecy matters when adversaries stockpile encrypted traffic. And we call out a critical truth for both practitioners and exam-takers: HTTPS can't stop phishing, so user trust and certificate validation remain frontline defenses.If you're preparing for the CISSP or leading security strategy, this episode gives you crisp explanations, memorable heuristics, and business-first context to improve your decisions.

Poslanec Hlasu-SD Michal Bartek v relácii Ide o pravdu odmietol tvrdenia o tom, že by sa jeho strana nachádzala v hlbokej kríze. Podľa neho ide skôr o mediálnu interpretáciu, ktorá nezodpovedá každodennej práci v regiónoch ani atmosfére v poslaneckom klube. 

Naše vydanie Hosť DRS v priebehu jesene už tradične začíname ďalším vypadnutým finalistom z pekárskej šou Pečie celé Slovensko. Tentoraz je to Eliška Marlengová, ktorá študuje na hotelovej akadémii a bola najmladšou súťažiacou. K pečeniu ju priviedla zvedavosť a experimentovanie, ktoré sa rýchlo stali jej vášňou. Eliška je celiatička a aj to bola pre ňu výzva popasovať sa s touto diagnózou a vyhrať sa s alternatívami pri pečení. Ktorej výzvy sa v šou najviac obávala? A aké boli jej pocity po vypadnutí zo šou? Aj na to odpovie zvedavému Richardovi. Herec Emil Horváth porozprával aj o legendárnej absurdnej dráme Stoličky, ktorá dostala nové rozhlasové prevedenie, v ktorom si zahral s Emíliou Vášáryovou. Popredný slovenský pneumológ a ftizeológ Ivan Solovič upozornil aj na to, že ak niekto pokašliava tri týždne, jednoznačne by mal pre istotu navštíviť svojho obvodného lekára! Strelec Radoslav Malenovský sa v rozprávaní vrátil aj k získanej striebornej medaile z letnej paralympiády v Paríži. Ako kostymérka dokáže odlíšiť dobro od zla? Odpovie kostýmová výtvarníčka Ivana Struhárová, ktorá porozprávala aj o rozprávke Čáry-Máry, ktorú uvidíme na Vianoce. Je to rozprávka o sile lásky aj o zázrakoch, ktorá bola nakrútená v koprodukcii Slovenskej a Českej televízie. | Hostia: Eliška Marlengová, Emil Horváth, Ivan Solovič, Radoslav Melanovský, Ivana Struhárová. | Moderujú: Gabika Angibaud a Richard Dedek. | Počúvajte rozhovory s našimi hosťami v programe Dobré ráno, Slovensko! každý pracovný deň po 8:20. Hosť DRS pripravuje Slovenský rozhlas, Rádio Slovensko, SRo1.

The Leafs are coming off a great trip out west having won 3 of 4! During this roadie we also welcomed back John Tavares, Anthony Stolarz, and in a figurative way Morgan Rielly, who after a chat with the coach is starting to look like his old self again. In this Quick Hits episode, we take a look at the road trip and breakdown the games. There was lots to excited about, including a power play that finally started clicking, player milestones, and a hometown hatty! There is still room for improvement though, especially with the line combinations, something we are sure Brad Treliving will be looking at shoring up before the season resumes. Our star of the week for this segment is a long serving D-man that has been struggling to find his game. Don't know if the words of "encouragement" from the Coach did the trick, but something seems to have clicked for Morgan Rielly earning him Star of Week honours for this episode! When this show hits the airways, the 4 Nations Face Off puck drop will be mere hours away. I think we're actually more excited than we thought we would be to finally watch some of the best from these 4 countries square off. Come February 22nd though, everything will be on the line for the Leafs, and we will know in short order, who may be joining the roster for the stretch run. Enjoy the 4 Nations Tourney everyone!

Why did the U.S. subsidiary that owns Stoli vodka (and many other alcohol brands) recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection? The most obvious answer is that everyone in America has stopped drinking alcohol, right? But if only every complex question could be answered plain and simple! Unfortunately, this is a dark tale twisted in time that arguably started with a countertrade agreement that eventually involved Pepsi owning a fleet of Soviet military ships. No really…watch the related video I tagged. But things never seemed less complicated with Stoli (even into the 2000s), as its billionaire owner was exiled from his home country because of opposition to President Vladimir Putin. And if that wasn't bad enough, an ongoing legal battle with Russia (and recent cyber-attack) left the company's finances and global operations in dismay…thus providing the more complicated answer around bankruptcy.

A great cocktail is the result of passion and precision. It's more than just flare—it's an art. And this is how Gabi Gershator, Stoli Group's Brand Ambassador of Israel approaches not just cocktails, but life in general. His love for life is more than just inspiring, it's down-right intoxicating.

Analysts are identifying a new shopping trend with Gen Z as they head to the mall. Gen Z's return to the mall shows this cohort has more in common with Baby Boomers than Gen X or Millennials. But first, Stoli in the USA has filed for bankruptcy claiming slow spirits sales and Russia fatigue. Also, The Pet Shop Boys prove once again that they are masterful when it comes to music, marketing, and creativity.

For Bourbon Community Roundtable number 101, where we dive deep into the recent news of Stoli and its subsidiary Kentucky Owl filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This important conversation touches on the implications for the bourbon community, the brand's significant history, and our personal connections to its legacy. The group discusses how Kentucky Owl, once a celebrated brand under Dixon Dedman's careful curation, managed to capture the hearts of bourbon enthusiasts with limited releases that truly stood out. We unpack the challenges leading to Kentucky Owl's current predicament, we examine how Stoli's acquisition strategies may have shifted the brand's identity. Will Stoli choose to sell the brand as part of its restructuring? Show Notes: Kentucky Owl's Bankruptcy: A Reflection Future of Kentucky Owl: What Lies Ahead?

Cybersecurity Chaos: Encrypted Chats, Ransomware Woes, and a Diss Track Challenge This week on Hacker And The Fed former FBI agent Chris Tarbell and ex-black hat hacker Hector Monsegur discuss the largest U.S. telecom hack in history attributed to Chinese state-sponsored attackers, the FBI's surprising push for encrypted communications, and the takedown of an encrypted messaging service used by criminals. They also tackle the bankruptcy of vodka giant Stoli following a devastating ransomware attack and share actionable advice for cybersecurity resilience. Send HATF your questions at questions@hackerandthefed.com.

IT Privacy and Security FAQ - Week Ending December 10th, 2024 1. What happened to Stoli, and how can I protect my business from the same fate? A ransomware attack crippled Stoli Group's IT systems, leading to bankruptcy for its US and Kentucky Owl subsidiaries. The attack highlighted the importance of robust cybersecurity measures. To safeguard your business, prioritize secure IT systems, keep software updated, maintain regular backups, and educate employees about phishing and malware threats. 2. Is my phone call safe? What's this about a Chinese hacking campaign? A Chinese cyber-espionage campaign, Salt Typhoon, targeted telecom networks in at least two dozen countries, including major US carriers. The attackers stole metadata to identify high-value targets and intercept communications. While classified information wasn't compromised, this emphasizes the need for vigilance. Limit sharing sensitive information over calls or texts, and consider end-to-end encryption tools for added security. 3. What is the FCC doing about telecom cybersecurity? The FCC is proposing mandatory cybersecurity risk management plans for telecom companies and will enforce them with potential fines or criminal penalties. This follows concerns over persistent security lapses and aims to prevent breaches like the recent Chinese hacking campaign. 4. I use Google Messages. Is it truly end-to-end encrypted? Google Messages' claims of "end-to-end encryption" are misleading. While RCS chats within Google Messages can be encrypted, SMS messages and those sent to non-Google users are not. Always verify encryption details and don't rely on vague claims to protect your privacy. 5. What is Sauron, and should I be concerned about its home security approach? Sauron is a startup offering high-tech home security using drones, cameras, facial recognition, and 24/7 monitoring. While appealing for its advanced features, the company's use of facial recognition and potential for aggressive countermeasures raises privacy concerns.

I've known Rob for several decades now; we met in Korea when he was MD for global liquor distributor Maxxium, and I was doing cocktail seminars there for bartenders. We've had personal and professional intersections  - not to mention more than a few martinis here and there - ever since, as he racked up a truly stellar resume in the liquor biz: Diageo, Shaw-Ross, Maxxium, Gruppo Montenegro (where he was also MD), and Disaronno, where he's currently CEO. But, as he's a former Stoli CEO, I thought I'd have him on this week, as Stoli USA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy just last week, which came as a bit of a shock to one and all. So sit down - like me and Rob did - with a nice large vodka martini to hand, and listen to us dive into the Stoli saga, the current state of play in liquor, the role of private equity, what Rob thinks of what's in the trade news these days, and why he'll absolutely hire someone without a college degree...Rob on X/Twitter: https://x.com/rbc1964?s=11&t=kTsTPMPK0kgHLvK8ldrFXQ Rob on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-cullins-1419346?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_mweb&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things than their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is, for a few hours.

Every once in a while you run across a brand that has captured lightening in a bottle. For me, I see that as Old Carter. Mark and Sherri Carter join the show to talk about their extensive background in the wine industry, but how bourbon eventually captured his interest and became a new passion. Though he knew how to build a highly-rated wine brand, entering the bourbon world brought fresh challenges. Mark and Sherri connected with Dixon Dedman and launched Kentucky Owl until it sold. After the sale, they stayed focused on super premium bourbons to target whiskey aficionados. If a barrel didn't suit their ideal flavor profile, they would put it back in the rick rather than compromise quality. But it's not a complete story without a bit of legal trouble and the Carter name has been no stranger to lawsuits so stick around to hear that one. Show Notes: Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about infinity blends You had a big background in wine but when did bourbon come into your life? Did you know how to build a wine brand and what attributes to a 100 point wine? How did you end up getting connected with Dixon Dedman? How do you compete in the wine world? What happens when you have a bad vintage? After Kentucky Owl sold to Stoli, when did you want to start your own brand? Why did you continue going with the super premium route? If a barrel doesn't fit your profile and blend, what do you do with it? What was your marketing approach and how did you capture the whiskey geek? What's your sweet spot for your releases and how you choose your whiskeys? How many times have you been sued with the Carter name? @oldcarterwhiskeyco @oldsherricarter @markcarter52 Support this podcast on Patreon
