Podcasts about Tock

It's a Kristen-and-Brandon summer special! The Simmer checks in on what Brandon dubs “reservation wars 3.0” as the biggest restaurant tech companies in the space — reservations and beyond — choose sides. In this episode we talk DoorDash, SevenRooms, Uber, OpenTable, Toast, Resy, Tock and more. The Simmer will return after Labor Day with more industry guests and insight. 

Dave recounts a fly-fishing trip to Mexico, where he encountered the fish that now haunts his dreams. He reflects on how the experience is less about catching fish and more about testing fate, and what it means to release not just the fish, but your own power. He wraps up with an Ask Dave segment about a dinner reservation quandary.

Beheading the Dragon (1) (Audio) David – 6/4/2025 Marie Kelton Vision - 6/2/2025 Cutting off the Dragon's Head to set God's people free. During the meeting, I had an open vision. I was in the third heaven. And I saw a huge black dragon. (Babylon's DS Khazarians) Trying to come up into the third heaven. (Seeking to take authority that is not his) (Satan wanting to be like the Most high). Isa 14:14-17: "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to Sheol, to the uttermost parts of the pit. They that see thee shall gaze at thee, they shall consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; that made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; that let not loose his prisoners to their home?" When he came up part way. I saw that there were saints inside of his belly, wanting to get out. The Lord said to me, "Captives in the belly of the beast." (We are in the belly of this world wide beast but as we will see The Lord of Hosts of angels, Jesus Christ, also using Cyrus will bring it down. Our part is spiritual warfare.) I saw the Lord who looked angry jump up in the air on one side of the dragon. And I saw myself with the white head covering on simultaneously do the same thing as him but on other side of the dragon. (Symbolizing the saints who are submitted to the Lord in warfare.) We both had swords in our hands and we both came down and cut the dragon's head off. (This is happening over a period of time as the DS Khazarians lose their leaders. We are to cast down the dominion of Satan and His angels who lead his earthly leaders as in Rev 12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8  and they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9  And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, (As we know the old serpent had legs in the garden but the Lord cursed him to crawl on his belly and eat the dust of the earth representing flesh.) he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 10  And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11  And they (the brethren or saints) overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.  The Lord Jesus over Michael's angelic forces are crushing “the old serpent” aboves head. Gen 3:14  And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15  and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.  Marie: The dragon fell from the second heaven to the first heaven, of earth, and landed on the ground. Then the Lord went down from the third heaven to the first heaven. The Lord cut open the belly of the dragon. And pulled out the captives that were still alive. (Jer 51:44  And I will execute judgment upon Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall. 45  My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man from the fierce anger of Jehovah. 46  And let not your heart faint, neither fear ye for the tidings that shall be heard in the land; for tidings shall come one year, and after that in another year shall come tidings, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. 47  Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will execute judgment upon the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be confounded; and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. Her heads are facing Alliance military tribunals and execution. Meanwhile they are attempting to spread earthquake and volcanic activity to distract from revelations of their evil. Our dreams we have shared have shown this is from the DS. The Mississippi and Colorado Rivers, which were likely formed by fault lines, appear to be opening up causing sinkholes, as the plate slides west causing earthquakes off of California's coast. The sinkholes down the Mississippi go out into the Gulf. As some will remember and we saw the Mississippi start out full force in the north but as it went south you could see the bottom showing up as the fault swallowed the water, which was an amazing sight. Further up the Mississippi, The New Madrid fault zone has had many, many, smaller earthquakes, which will likely lesson the size of a bigger one to come due to stress relief. This is another place the DS planned a distraction but the Lord of Hosts is intervening. They are also attempting to start WWIII by the Khazarians attacking Iran. President Trump wisely pulled out of that. Two more attempts were planned but the Lord of Hosts stopped this. Also Nato's plan to attack Russia through the Nazii's failed, helping to tip Poland toward the MAGA right in their election. DS Khazarians were using Poland and that appears to be over shortly. The Lord of Hosts has stopped many attempts at World War. Sill we know there is a huge one coming soon.  Rev 6:3  And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come. 4  And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.  The War to Behead the Dragon… Judy's note on Operation Disclosure unredacted on Rummor Mill: On Mon. 2 June 2025 the Globalist Deep State Cabal Vatican's Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult's Khazarian Mafia attempted to start a nuclear World War III by attacking Russian trains and airbases on the eve of Peace Talks. Such appeared to be in retaliation for Vladimir Putin's Sat. 31 May unleash of a precision drone-and-missile assault on a child trafficking Global Pedo enclave run by Globalist Deep State Cabal Vatican's Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult's Khazarian Mafia in their headquarters of Ukraine. There were 51 abducted Russian children rescued in the process. Ukraine was international headquarters for the Vatican's Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult. They ran Child Sacrifice rites and pedophile parties across the World, even beneath Joe Biden's 200 acre Ukraine property and beneath the White House. Noted reporter Tucker Carlson had released 2008 recordings: Obama, Clinton, Biden, Epstein, and Congress members caught raping and sacrificing children. Days later, children were rescued in the dead of night. There were DUMB Underground Tunnels that ran across the Globe, even beneath Capitol Hill—200 miles of satanic infrastructure—used to traffic and torture innocent children. JAG officers were witnessed removing hundreds of kids just after Biden's fake inauguration in 2021. Then in 2022, Russian Military unearthed U.S.-owned bioweapon labs under Biden property in Ukraine—mutilated child corpses confirmed. Trump's global alliance took action. These labs were connected to DUMBs, where children were experimented on like lab rats. Joe Biden and 464 elected traitors were arrested. Many were tried and executed at GITMO. Trump recently announced that Biden was dead and what you see now were actors, clones, digital stand-ins. Hillary Clinton? Hung for treason. The Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens—all gone. The Mexican Cartels—built by the CIA and backed by CCP/Obama/Biden—were being dismantled right now by Mexican patriots trained by Trump-aligned forces near Cheyenne Mountain. Meanwhile last Saturday 31 May 2025 over 500 Russian kamikaze drones and Klub cruise missiles had obliterated 17 black-site facilities that housed a pedophile network. It spanned Ukraine, Albania, France and German operatives who were trafficking abducted children through NATO-protected routes. Russian aircraft reportedly dropped evacuation leaflets Friday night, giving locals 24 hours to flee. At the same time, Spetsnaz special forces tracked and verified that no children remained inside, confirming the mission was surgical. Russian FSB agent Andrei Zakharov confirmed the intelligence behind the strike. “We warned civilians. We gave them time. If they stayed, they chose their side. We do not negotiate with pedophiles. We rescue our children and destroy the pigs who steal them.” This was not just military action — it was a declaration of war against the global child trafficking elite. The same cabal that operated unchecked for decades under the cover of fake wars, humanitarian fronts and Western alliances that were now bombing Russia. Putin was forced to act because the Deep State left him no choice. The Globalist Deep State Cabal Vatican's Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult's Khazarian Mafia's abduction of children to torture in their Satan Worshipping pedophile Child Sacrifice rites went back centuries – and 51 Russian children had recently disappeared. Plus, Russian intelligence had intercepted Cabal plans to expand their trafficking operations into Crimea and even parts of rural Russia. It was a line in the sand — and Putin unleashed fire. Ukraine was never just about territory. It's about the kids. The elites were furious their supply chain just got bombed to dust, so they worked with UN, NATO and even, it was suspected, Deep State Cabal Elite US Congressional leaders to sneak weaponized drones into Russian villages for their attack. Afterwards they would attack Iran to make a Nuclear World War III complete. They didn't care how many people would die. All would fit into their depopulation agenda. Meanwhile, Western media stayed silent. NATO called it aggression. The UN cried about “civilian casualties” – which there were none. But no one was asking why Ukrainian soil housed black-site child prisons protected by foreign intelligence assets. This was the beginning of the end for the Satan Worshipping Cabal. The children were being avenged. In secret, Trump's Global Military Alliance was backing Putin. Both were deeply involved in a Global Currency Reset that took away the Cabal's hold over the World's monetary system and gave taxpayer money back to The People. It was all about money and the Cabal was desperate because they were losing their funding source – US Taxpayer monies which they had controlled since at least 1918. They had one option left: in the past they had made a lot of money by financing both sides of war. Another war would also result in having more control over The People – as had happened in the past. Starting a Nuclear World War III through bombing Russia and Iran was on the menu. But, this Globalist Deep State Cabal Vatican's Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult's Khazarian Mafia's attempts to get the World into a nuclear war was not going to work as it had in the past, where the war strategy was based on a Global Disinformation campaign – that was now falling apart. The Global Disinformation Index (GDI), based in the U.K. and backed by the National Endowment for Democracy, had received millions of US Taxpayer dollars under the pretense of fighting foreign disinformation. It's real target was President Trump, the America First movement and any media outlet that didn't align with the Globalist narrative. GDI, the SPLC, Big Tech and intelligence-linked NGOs tracked narratives, created blacklists, manipulated search algorithms and fed justification for bans across every major platform. Even right now the US State Department's Global Engagement Center was training foreign governments in censorship protocols, while the UN, WHO, Google and AI coalitions were replicating it worldwide. Trump's Global Military Alliance was ending all that as they released the Global Currency Reset and gave The People's money back to The People. As Q would say, “Hold the Line. Prepare. Trust The Plan.” Portions of WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW AS OF WED. 4 JUNE 2025: · On Mon. 16 June 2025 Project Odin: Worldwide Blackout,(Of MSM communications) Martial Law, Arrests, Global Currency Reset, Call To Fast And Pray, Freedom From Debt To The Deep State Cabal …Julian Assange, Deep State Exposed on Telegram More on the War · On Fri. 20 Jun. 2025 Worldwide Emergency Alert: US Military Stationed in 360 Cities Anticipating a Supreme Court Announcement on the Brunson Voter Fraud Case, Which Would Dissolve Congress & The Biden Administration. …Julian Assange, Deep State Exposed on Telegram · The US Military & DC Police Preparing To Evacuate Washington DC · The Global Military Alliance Arresting & Holding Military Tribunals on Over Half a Million Deep State Cabal Political & Global Elites. · CIA, FBI, Homeland Security, Biden & Democratic Party were suspected to be connected to attempted Trump Assassinations & Child Sex Trafficking. · Tues. 3 June 2025 The FBI has announced they are CRACKING DOWN on physicians mutilating children by trans-ing them via “gender affirming care.” The FBI is asking the public to report tips of any hospitals, clinics, or practitioners performing these operations on children to call: 1-800-CALL-FBI · Thousands of Children Crossing the US Border Sold into Child Sex Trafficking To Fulfill High Ranking Pedo Congress & State Official's Requests, as per Intelligence Sources. · Tues. 3 June 2025 Kash Patel is sounding the alarm on the Federal Reserve!

It's done. The tech works. The funding is mapped. The codes are locked. · The reason they've delayed the public rollout until July 4? Coordination. Security. Timing. You don't turn on the new financial system mid-chaos — you wait until every actor is boxed in, every backdoor closed. · The military is now watching every central bank channel. They've seized key data centers in Switzerland and Singapore. · Q phones were activated for Tier 1 comms. This is a controlled ignition — and it's going to change the planet. Get ready. F. Tues. 3 June 2025: BREAKING – SNOWDEN: NESARA IS ACTIVE, QFS DETONATED, TRIBUNALS RUNNING 24/7, GLOBALIST SERVERS SEIZED, AND THE FINAL EBS BROADCAST IS LOCKED …Edward Snowden on Telegram · Edward Snowden just dropped a nuclear warning: NESARA is LIVE. Trump has unleashed $10 TRILLION into the Quantum Financial System. GITMO is overflowing. Tribunals are operating day and night. Deep State financial servers across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland have been seized by Space Force. And the EBS broadcast? It's finished, encrypted, and seconds from going global. · Snowden's alert isn't subtle. This is an irreversible takedown of the globalist parasite class. The fake Biden shell is still being paraded in front of cameras while Trump runs military-grade restoration ops with full Space Force integration. Snowden confirmed: every major central bank's server mirrors have been ripped offline. Rothschild, IMF, BIS — digitally neutralized. · The Quantum Financial System isn't theory. It's deployment. $10 trillion is now locked into QFS infrastructure, guarded in encrypted relay nodes beneath U.S. bases. Each dollar carries biometric clearance. Every transfer is tracked. No laundering. No escape. Snowden warns: globalists are being stripped of their blood-money pipelines. · Tribunals are LIVE. GITMO doubled in size. Flights from Europe and Africa are bringing in high-value Deep State prisoners under military guard. Executions have begun. Black sites flipped. Justice is being delivered by the JAG corps under NESARA codes. · Snowden's internal leaks prove: every "celebrity death" you're seeing is a cover op for executions. Klaus Schwab didn't retire. He was seized. Macron is missing. Zelensky gone. The dominoes are falling. · Federal purge underway. Over 50,000 traitors have been replaced with QFS-cleared patriots. DOJ, NIH, FEMA — all under forensic quantum audit. Trump's sleeper agents are now activated. The infiltrators are gone. · Gold has been moved. Snowden confirms tons of gold have been relocated from Vatican and Rothschild vaults to U.S. territory, shielded by biometric gates. These aren't banks. They're economic stargates — aligned to NESARA frequencies. · The EBS broadcast is the final blow. Quantum-patched towers, Tesla-based mobile relays, encrypted satellites. Trump, Flynn, and the generals are ready to unleash the message. Snowden says: once the switch flips, the illusion dies. · NESARA is law. The Republic is restored. The storm isn't coming. The storm is HERE. And when EBS activates —THEY BURN. G. Mon. 2 June 2025: THE NEW GLOBAL QUANTUM FINANCIAL SYSTEM …QFS on Telegram · The signing of a historic treaty by 209 nations marks the beginning of the greatest financial transition in modern history. The world is about to witness the birth of a new, fair, and gold-backed financial system under GESARA. · For decades, global currencies were manipulated to serve the few. Countries were trapped in cycles of debt, with their wealth extracted through central banks and fiat deception. That ends now. · The treaty also unlocks a Prosperity Fund to finance humanitarian projects worldwide—schools, hospitals, clean water, housing, and restoration. · A Wealth Redistribution Program will ensure that every individual on Earth receives a share. Not just countries, but people. Every QFS account is linked to the individual owner's biometric ID. Every transaction is instant, uncorrupted, and untraceable by outside forces. · The Stellar Network opens access to secure digital wallets, even in the most remote corners of the world. Individuals no longer need permission from corrupted systems to participate in the global economy. · QFS debit cards, secured by biometric verification and quantum encryption, are replacing them permanently. No more fraud. No more hidden fees. No more theft disguised as bank · The Quantum Internet is a new infrastructure immune to hacking, censorship, or surveillance. · Military units are now overseeing the logistics, security, and data coordination of the RV rollout. Secure transport of physical currency, protection of financial institutions, and quantum-level fraud prevention systems are already in motion. · All of it is being done in tandem with international regulators to ensure lawful transition. Training has been underway for months. Financial authorities, central bank whistleblowers, and White Hat insiders are guiding the shift. Military intelligence teams are tracking illicit money flows and freezing cabal assets as we speak. · The old system is disintegrating as banks collapse, payment giants are stripped of power, and corrupt financial elites are being dragged to military tribunals at GITMO. Executives are being removed, their wealth seized, and their crimes archived as evidence for tribunals that are already underway. · The banks were engines of global exploitation. Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JP Morgan—names that laundered trillions for the cabal—are being neutralized. The days of VISA, Mastercard, PayPal, and Stripe exploiting humanity are ending. Everything you knew about money, credit, and ownership is being rewritten from the ground up. · The treaty signed unlocks the revaluation of currencies: some down, but some up like the Iraqi Dinar, Vietnamese Dong, and Zimbabwe ZIM. H. Tues. 3 June 2025: EXPOSED: THEY USED YOUR MONEY TO DESTROY TRUMP AND SILENCE THE TRUTH …Quantum Financial System on Telegram · The regime's war on the American people is no longer hidden. Documents now confirm what many feared — a foreign-based operation, funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars, was weaponized to shut down Trump's voice, bankrupt conservative media, and control everything you see. The Global Disinformation Index (GDI), based in the U.K. and backed by the National Endowment for Democracy, received millions under the pretense of fighting foreign disinformation. But its real target was domestic — President Trump, the America First movement, and any media outlet that didn't align with the globalist narrative. · From 2021 to 2023, over $1.25 million was funneled to GDI's U.S. arm, AN Foundation. Their mission? Label conservative voices “high risk,” blacklist them from advertising, and destroy their financial infrastructure. Newsmax, Daily Wire, New York Post — all flagged, censored, and cut off from funding. The result? Over $100 million in ad revenue lost in just 15 months. The goal wasn't media reform. It was coordinated political sabotage — designed to erase truth by starving it. · Trump wasn't just censored — he was targeted in a global operation involving GDI, the SPLC, Big Tech, and intelligence-linked NGOs. These groups didn't just track narratives — they created blacklists, manipulated search algorithms, and fed justification for bans across every major platform. All of it approved behind closed doors, protected under the illusion of “saving democracy.” What they really built was a digital guillotine — and you were the target. · This wasn't just a domestic plot. The same suppression models are now being exported globally. The State Department's Global Engagement Center is training foreign governments in censorship protocols. The UN, WHO, Google, and AI coalitions are replicating it worldwide. What started as “fact-checking” has evolved into total narrative control. What they couldn't kill with bullets, they now bury with algorithms. But the exposure of GDI cracks the system wide open. The question now isn't whether this is happening. The question is how much longer the people will tolerate it. RESTORED REPUBLIC: I. Sun. 1 June 2025: Global Military Alliance …They branded me a traitor. History will call me a hero.

Send us a textThis might be the most fun episode we ever produced. As we look back at George H. W. Bush , Pro wrestling fan. With the help of Charleston Post and Courier articles written by their star reporter Mike Mooneyham, we will examine the Bush connection to the world of Professional wrestling and especially his fondness for wrestling's greatest athlete, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. We will hear about Bush's friendship with promoter Paul Boesch, his lifelong connection to "Chief" Ed "Wahoo" McDaniel, and his later friendship with "The Big Cat" Ernie Ladd. We will also hit the trail , in 1992, on the whistlestop tour that took George Bush through the Carolinas, with the biggest sports star of them all, Ric Flair. It was at a rally in Spartanburg S.C. where our Host, Randal Wallace, was able to maneuver himself up near the front with a little help from Martha Bishop, the sister of our Senator Strom Thurmond, so he would be nearly front row for the rally at the Train Depot, that would feature not only the President, but Governor Carrol Campbell, Lieutenant Governor Bob Peeler, Senator Strom Thurmond, Congressional Candidate Bob Inglis, and our host's childhood sports hero, Ric Flair. To this day, as you will hear, it remains Wallace's favorite memory of any in his over 45 years in politics. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any footage from the Spartanburg rally, but we do have some examples of George Bush out on his 1992 whistle-stop tour, and we do have some later moments from the 2008 Presidential campaign where Ric Flair would return to the trail to campaign for Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. It was at the event for Huckabee in Myrtle Beach that our host again became the focus of attention as he stood with a folder full of wrestling magazines hoping to get them autographed by Ric Flair, at the Huckabee rally, while serving as the Rudy Giuliani Horry County Chairman. It made the news, in two articles in the Sun News political blog Poli-tick-Tock. We will look back at that blog too, and feature the Columbia Mike Huckabee Rally with Chuck Norris and Ric Flair. As you will hear, Hulk Hogan and Donald Trump were actually not the first Pro wrestler and President to headline a Presidential campaign event!!  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Guest: Nick Kokonas, co-founder of the Alinea Group and former CEO of TockAs of October 1, 2024, Nick Kokonas is no longer an owner of the Alinea restaurant group, which he co-founded and ran for almost 20 years. When he bought a vineyard in Napa Valley prior to the exit, one of his sons remarked, “He's given up. Time to go out to pasture.”Nick admits that the work ahead of him is “not the same” as the high-pressure world of a Michelin-starred restaurant in Chicago. But he's started working with the magician Nate Staniforth on a new restaurant concept that will present diners with illusions and surprises over the course of a two-hour experience. “If you want to feel wonder and feel childlike again, go see a magician,” Nick says. “[But] there's so much bad cultural baggage ... what we wanted to do was create an experience that is not really about magic.”Chapters:(02:29) - Celebrity restauranteurs (07:14) - The next act (12:30) - Buying the vineyard (15:37) - Fear is motivating (17:59) - Opening night (22:03) - Tongue cancer (27:56) - “OK, let's fix this” (31:10) - Selling experience (38:32) - The table plate (42:40) - Feeling full (44:14) - Next Restaurant and Tock (49:33) - Being still (51:19) - Nate Staniforth's lottery illusion (56:57) - The magic restaurant (01:02:29) - Being misunderstood (01:07:44) - Working via email (01:11:43) - “Enemies” (01:18:23) - Who Nick is hiring and what “grit” means to him Mentioned in this episode: Mike Gamson, Shaquille O'Neal, Jeff Kaplan, Steve Bernacki, Robin Anil, Grant Achatz, OpenTable, American Express, The Big Lebowski, The New York Times, eGullet, Gourmet Magazine, Roger Ebert, Eddie van Halen, Goodfellas, The Devil Wears Prada, Batman, the Chicago Bears, Madonna, Taylor Swift, Bavette's and Brendan Sodikoff, Pablo Picasso, Chef's Table, Google, Brian Fitzpatrick, Finding Real Magic, David Blaine, Mark Cuban, Mark Caro, Chicago Magazine, John Mariani, Cat Cora, Homaro Cantu, Dave Portnoy, Pete Wells, and Eric Asimov.Links:Connect with NickTwitterLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

Finally, Resy CEO Pablo Rivero joins The Simmer, completing our trifecta of interviews with leaders of the country's largest reservations providers. In his role as SVP of global dining, he also oversees Tock, the reservations and ticketing platform Amex acquired last year for $400 million. It was a smart acquisition: American Express cardholders spent a staggering $100 billion (!!!) on dining in 2023. In this episode, we discuss artificial intelligence, bots, exclusivity, and the future of the reservations business.

El experto en derecho internacional rivado, Javier Carrascosa noafirma que 'todos nos relacionamos mediante aplizaciones y grandes plataformas como Watshap, Instagram o Tick, Tock en nuestra vida cotidiana, que además son los grandes motores de la difusión. Esto incide directamente en las legislaciones que tiene que ver con el derecho a la libertad de expresión.Son empresas privadas internacionalizadas en base a la información y la expresión, pero¿Qué pasa cuando se censura o limita el derecho a la libertad de expresión en 'Faceebok' o se comete un delíto de odio en 'X'? y ¿ Donde se juzaga y qué ley se aplica?. Según el catedrático de Derecho internacional privado 'el escenario a cambiado, queremos que se nos respete nuestros derechos fundamentales no ante Estados, sino ante empresas privadas'.

It's been a busy few weeks in the reservations business. Over the summer, American Express, which already owns Resy, announced a $400 million acquisition of rival booking service Tock. A few weeks later, OpenTable shared its own big news, a deal with Visa to grant cardholders special access to restaurants. In this extra spicy episode, Tock CEO Matt Tucker wastes no time punching up at his biggest competitor. (After the interview was recorded, both OpenTable and Visa declined to comment on the specifics of their partnership or Tucker's comments.) He also goes deep on all things reservations, including the bots and brokers causing headaches for everyone. 

In this episode, Lisa and Johnny discuss:The pressures students are under from all directions. How parents can recognize when their students are struggling and how to help them.Culturally immersive programs and how they can burst the bubble students are living in.Creating change with important life experiences for your student.Learning valuable life skills during transformational experiences. Key Takeaways: Students are pressured from all directions by family, peers, society, culture, teachers, and more. Many students don't know that they can go down alternate paths than those they feel prescribed for them. Struggles will be unique to each student and will look different for each of those students. Travel can provide your student with a break from the turmoil of everyday life, allowing them to figure out who they are and what matters most to them.There are more opportunities than people realize, and life is a marathon, not a sprint. Cultural experiences allow students to see some of the opportunities that they may not have known about otherwise.Being college-capable and being college-ready are two different things.  “Exposing our young folks, especially those who don't have a lot of world experience, to art, history, music, food, community, language, all of those things, is medicine for the soul.” – Johnny TockAbout Johnny Tock: Johnny is a licensed professional counselor with over 15 years experience working within a variety of therapeutic environments for teens and young adults. His experience includes: a treatment program specifically focused on internet and video game addiction, a therapeutic boarding school, group homes, a wilderness program, community mental health facilities, and a high school directly affected by trauma. Through individual, group, and family therapy, he helped guide his student's experiences in an effective way that elicited substantial growth and identity development.Johnny strongly believes that relationship-building and connection are the most important part of creating change and growth. His passion and strength can be seen in his relationships with students, colleagues, and referring professionals through heightened communication, follow-through, and positivity. Episode References:#013 The Many Advantages of a Gap Year https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/podcast/13-the-many-advantages-of-a-gap-year/#062 Gap Year: Is it a better freshmen start? https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/podcast/062-gap-year-is-it-a-better-freshmen-start/ Dots Excercise: flourishcoachingco.com/dotsGet Lisa's Free on-demand video: How-to guide for your teen to choose the right major, college, & career...(without painting themselves into a corner, missing crucial deadlines, or risking choices you both regret). flourishcoachingco.com/video Connect with Johnny:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spain_abroad/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExperienceSpainAbroad Website: https://www.spainabroad.com/ Email: johnny@spainabroad.com  Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.flourishcoachingco.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@flourishcoachingcoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flourishcoachingco/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/flourish-coaching-co

In the effort to recover from the impact of the pandemic, the hospitality industry has had a surge of innovation, ideas, and new technologies.

Man told me about how he crocheted as a kid in Cape Verde and Holland. He had nothing to do. No tv. Needed something to entertain himself so he taught himself. Sister knew but couldn't teach him.  It wasn't a normal thing for boys in holland. Or girls as far as he knew and they didn't teach it in school but he had fond memories of it. Great chat learning about his travels and his work as a union carpenter now. KAL News Pigskin Party '24 will kick off in the fall (specific date TBD).

Keep an eye out for that if you want the full story of my parents car accident and April and everything that's happened since our last recording in February. Health Update Video Part 1 Health Update Video Part 2 On a Happy Note Mom, Megg, Kris and I went to see Come From Away in Boston I helped Dan build a shed for his brother and then relaxed in the pool at my parents once we were done (and good and sweaty). I pressure washed the house and the deck- it's currently covered in pollen but at least I got the worst of it off. It's such a satisfying chore! Mom and I went to Aila's voice recital and out for drinks after. I brought my grandmother to my cousin Jenny's daughter Vera's Baptism Party. Beautiful day! Celebrated my birthday at a local Irish Pub for live Irish music. Dan treated us all for dinner. My parents, Megg, Tom (who is from Ireland) and their friend David (visiting from Ireland), Megg's Mom Terri, Trish and Liz. Very fun, silly night as usual. Megg and I weren't doing gifts this year because of our Opera House season tickets but I made her socks in March and she brought me a beautiful plant! We all went back to Megg and Tom's after which was fun because I got to see Eme, Oisin and Hattie too. The boys made lobster for David who hadn't tried New England Lobster before. After the most stressful and hellish week at work I've had in 22 years, I convinced the directors in charge of my Nurse Call Integration project that it was too unstable and had to be shut down so while it was awful, it was done in little more than 3 days. Thankfully, none of the blame was on me (didn't make it feel that much better). Vendor was woefully unprepared and mismanaged things. On that Friday, my boss told me to leave early. I met up with Dan for lunch at The Galley in Scituate. Sitting in the window/door until a huge storm blew in and they had to close it up. June 11th- my cousin Colleen had her baby boy- Owen (not on my birthday but soo close) June 12th- my nephew Garret graduated from 8th Grade and my Mom (and Dad) were there for it! June 14th- Conor and Carly welcomed their baby boy Miles. I did the stage decorations and played house manager in the last ever Terri's School of Dance recital. We had a party at Kris' house after. Father's Day Pool Party- Dan taught Garret and his friend Terry how to properly shuck a lobster. We played games and swam a little in the pool. My cousin Gayle flew in from FL and joined us for the recital and Father's Day fun. I had Monday off and headed over to Mom and Dad's. Jenny and Vera were there, and Millie never left. We swam, played Tock, and went to Heidi's for an ice cream. On Juneteenth- I hit the gym then took Millie and Riley to get their nails done, then took Gayle to Athleta, swam a bit. Dan, Jeff and Melissa came over and we all had dinner together by the pool. Quote of the Week As soon as I have a deadline, I work much better.

It has become a trope by now: "Cars are computers on wheels." In modern cars, not only the infotainment system but also the engine, brakes, and steering wheel are controlled by software. Better make sure that software is safe. Alexandru Radovici is a Software Engineer at OxidOS, a company that builds a secure, open-source operating system for cars built on Rust and Tock. We talk about the challenges of certifying Rust code for the automotive industry and the new possibilities with Rust-based car software.

“When I'm traveling to a place where I look around, I can tell this is a popular place. This is a place that people like to go to, to hang out and to meet others. It feels like this place that I'm now coming to for the second or third time. That's really important to us, truly embracing community, becoming a place that's a gathering place for the community so that if you're there as an out-of-town guest, you're really feeling like a local. This is a place that locals want to be.” We're in great company with Christopher Hunsberger, Co-Founder & Chief Operating Officer of Appellation, where he brings together a new generation of hoteliers and culinarians, locals and travelers alike - to tell an innovative yet timeless tale in the world of hospitality, through the shared language of food, embracing what it means to be authentically local, nurturing community and culture through culinary and craft experiences. More than 20 years ago, Christopher and his Co-Founder, Chef Charlie Palmer started working on their first hotel project together. Nearly five dozen hotels, 20 Michelin stars, and multiple James Beard Awards later, they decided to start a truly new type of hospitality company. One where culinary excellence, access to world-class artisans, and a sense of place aren't just part of the guest experience, they are the guest experience. As we celebrate the start of Season 6, Christopher gives us a taste of how Appellation is gathering the best artisans, growers and makers from across their future destinations, preparing to deliver exceptional and innovative guest experiences born of their distinct regions.   Top Takeaways [2:00] With a childhood immersed in the world of hospitality, Christopher continues to find great inspiration from his mother, while having spent his entire career building what would become Four Seasons, Christopher attributes much of his success to the culture of the people.  [7:00] Little did Charlie Palmer and Christopher Hunsberger know when they first met 20 years ago, how far they would come, what awards would be given, what new opportunities would arise, and what they would create in collaboration today.  [10:00] How Appellation is going beyond creating a “sense of place” by being students of the destination and being a part of the fabric of that community through their F&B experiences in “Crafted,” where they both source from and serve the local community. [16:10] Appellation means “to give name to a place,” and while this was not the first name Christopher and Charlie came up with, it was the one that took hold for all they stood to create.  [19:55] Expect a departure from your typical hotel experience when you arrive at an Appellation hotel, as they bring “the heart of the house forward” through interior design, experiential events and local interactions.  [23:50] The focus on food extends beyond the lobby, from rooftop greenspaces and bars to event exhibition kitchens, from interactive outdoor cooking spaces to sprawling garden beds and orchards, from seasonal herb-based spa treatments to elevated pantries featuring fresh and local refreshments. [33:05] Sustainability and stewardship are at the core of Appellation's business beliefs, exchanging profit for prosperity when it comes to their social responsibility.  [37:40] Christopher shares his steadfast opinion on and prediction of how technology plays a pivotal role in the world of hospitality to “let people be people.”  [44:50] Appellation will first take root in California and Idaho, extending into other terroirs in time.  [51:50] How Christopher hopes to “think global, act local” by gaining access and building relationships with Appellation's global community, empowering his team to have candor when sharing their personal favorites and interests with guests.  Notable Mentions Pigs & Pinot Seghesio Family Vineyards MIX Garden Materials Visit For Yourself Appellation Website @appellationhotels  Crafted at Appellation on Tock

Are restaurants becoming like Taylor Swift? Well, sort of. This week's episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Matt Tucker. He is the senior vice president with Squarespace and is head of the reservation platform Tock. Tock was cofounded by restaurateur Nick Kokonas and was sold in 2021 to Squarespace. The company sells prepaid restaurant reservations to customers. Those reservations act like tickets, which customers can resell. And that could create a market that operates like online ticket sales, where brokers gobble up the best tickets—like Taylor Swift concerts—to resell them at substantial markups. We talk with Tucker about this, and why restaurants do not want their reservations resold. Tucker talks about what his company does to prevent this. But he also talks about the benefits to restaurants of a model in which diners prepay for their reservations, such as the ability to do more dynamic pricing. We talk about general trends in restaurant reservations. For instance, is 6 p.m. really the new 8 p.m. and why is that? What are consumers looking for in reservations these days and what is demand for those restaurants right now. It's a fascinating conversation about reservations, so check it out.

  Someone has sent literal Death after Doom. She can only outrun it for 24 hours. Unless she can find the Doctor... Tick... Tock... As Doom's final hours come into sharp focus, she'll need to do whatever's necessary to complete her missions, find the Doctor, and escape what increasingly seems like the inevitable. But how best to find the person who can save Doom's life? Will the Doctor's friends be her salvation? Or perhaps the Doctor's enemies will be the route to survival? Doom is about to travel across thousands of years of time, and light years of space in search of her last, best hope. But even if she finds the Doctor, will a person who is all about saving lives help a person whose only job is to take them? Doom's day is almost over. Time is running out. This could be the end. 1. Dawn of an Everlasting Peace by Jacqueline Rayner Venus, 3975. The day of the non-aggression pact. The perfect ironic location for an assassination! But Doom's mission is about to become much more complicated thanks to an explosive plot to undermine the treaty itself. 2. A Date with Destiny by Robert Valentine A romantic dinner turns life-threatening for an unsuspecting human in 2007. But this time, Doom has competition. And if she loses, then her last chance to find the Doctor could be snatched away. Cue an action-packed chase through the streets of London. But has Doom met her match? 3. The Howling Wolves of Xan-Phear by Simon Clark A warring world of wolves. Doom's target turns out to be the puppeteer of the warring Xan: a Silent. But what if she's already completed her mission? How will she know? What if this wasn't even her mission in the first place? No time to waste. The countdown is on. 4. The Crowd by Lizzie Hopley "Follow the crowd", that's what they say, right? In this case, however, devastation, murder and destruction follow this particular Crowd - Doom's next target. But amongst them - an unfamiliar face, with a familiar name. Could this be Doom's salvation?

I sleep with my heating pad nearly every night and depending on how I move, and especially when I get out of bed, the controller for the heating pad clangs loudly against the wooden drawers and metal drawer pulls of the platform bed. I'd like to hold several strands together and make a large piece of fabric with a pocket in it, to hold the controller and muffle the sound. I need to go through my stash to see what I can find. I will likely crochet it for the sake of time and I think it will also yield a denser fabric that will work well without hurting my hands too much.   From the Armchair   Cassandra in Reverse by Holly Smale.

Dan and I had so much fun playing with playdough with them in the backyard. Mom's friends at List Perfectly treated us to box seats at a Red Sox at Fenway. The game itself was terrible- they lost 13-1 and put in the short stop as pitcher in the top of the 9th, but we had so much fun we didn't care. The box was decked out with every kind of delicious beverage you could want, pizza, lobster rolls, hot dogs, pretzels and more... and they even have a ice cream sundae cart come around! 2 nights of Tock and ice cream at the pool. The first night Liz and I taught Stephanie and Kris how to play. The second night, Mom, Riley and I played. Emelie's birthday party Kayaking for the first time this season; it was cut a bit short by a storm that was threatening. Not sure if would have ever actually come where we were, but it wasn't worth the risk.   Quote of the Week   No matter how mundane some action might appear, keep at it long enough and it becomes a contemplative, even meditative act. –HARUKI MURAKAMI   ------   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

Her Knit Picks Felici Zen Socks had a hole in the foot. It was easy to repair with a bit of yarn. I washed them and they're ready to give back. I only finished these in May 2022, right before Mother's Day so these haven't held up very well. Click here for my Ravelry Project Page. I also did a blanket repair on a knitted blanket a friend's mother asked me to fix. I was assuming it was crochet, so the fact that it was knitted was a surprise. The section that was torn was part of a very long strip of knitting that was knit on the bias, so it was a little tricky but it was in garter stitch and I did a good job of pulling the stitches back up. Its not 100% invisible, but I'm happy with it. I have it washed and ready to return.   Crafty Adventures   Resin adventures with Gayle & Meagan for their Bucket List with a Twist.

There will be a Pigskin Party. I'll be planning it very soon!   On a Happy Note After a day of resin crafts and pool time, Mom, Dad, Gayle, Meagan, Liz and I headed out for ice cream and then back for 2 round Tock match (Meagan & I won one, Gayle & Liz won one). I went to Minute Clinic to confirm I had Covid, but mostly to see if I also had strep throat, and was treated by my childhood bestie, Maribeth! Grateful for my own craft room with a comfy chair in a cool part of the house. Perfect for isolating and making sure Dan didn't get sick. I did go outside a bit on the weekend days. Dan brought up my wheel. I still spent a lot of time lying down between projects but it was nice to get out. I missed our nephew's 16th birthday pool party, though, so that was a bummer. Jeff was able to get an extra ticket for me to join he and Riley to see Lainey Wilson at the Mohegan Sun casino on Friday night! We had dinner, loved the show, got a cool Watermelon Moonshine Stanley Tumbler, and then I slept over at their house. Hung out with Riley & Millie in the morning, singing Hamilton as Riley made us homemade waffles.   Quote of the Week   The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. –OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, SR ------   Thank you for tuning in!   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

With the rise of remote work, online learning, and virtual gatherings, staying connected has never been more important. However, as a facilitator, it's difficult to create virtual experiences that are as good as face-to-face events. Asking 100+ people a question but only being able to acknowledge a handful of responses can leave your audience feeling disengaged. In this episode, I speak to Lux Narayan the co-founder of StreamAlive. His platform is a facilitator's best-kept secret. It uses an innovative way to boost engagement in virtual events. Lux also shares his entrepreneurial journey and some interesting stories of how he wrote his book as well as how he ended up working for one of the most famous Bollywood actors on the planet!Lux NarayanLux Narayan believes that “So, what do you do?” is a tough question to answer and should certainly not be answered with the current title on your LinkedIn profile. In 2021, he published “Name, Place, Animal, Thing”, an Amazon bestseller- to help people answer this dreaded question. He enjoys mining the intersections of various spheres of life and work, speaking of which… He is the CEO and a co-founder at StreamAlive, a category-defining, fun and engaging web application that helps livestreams and live events on Zoom, YouTube Live, in-person, and everything in between literally come alive. With the ability to plan, track, increase, and analyze engagement simply through the live chat, StreamAlive's goal is to help presenters and creators move their audiences from bored-away to blown-away. Prior to founding StreamAlive, and prior to a creative and personal break, Lux was a co-founder and the CEO at Unmetric right up to their acquisition by Cision, the world's largest “earned media platform” that's now a part of Platinum Equity, a $20bn+ private equity group. He is a perpetual learner of “stuff' — from origami and molecular gastronomy to stand-up and improv comedy. He enjoys reading obituaries and has given a talk on the TED main stage – on lessons from 2000 obituaries. This talk has been viewed over 2 million times and translated into every majorly spoken language.
