In the summer of 2002, a young white woman named Valinda Elliott set out from Phoenix on a business trip with her boss. The two were trying to locate a tiny speck of a town called Young, Ariz., population 666 (talk about a bad omen).

The renegade Russian FSB agent died an agonizing death after being poisoned in late 2006 with the deadly radioactive isotope, Polonium 210. So charged an official British inquiry chaired by Sir Robert Owen after years of investigation. Owen also accused former FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev and two former FSB agents, Andrei Lugovoi and Dimitri Kovtun.

With economic turmoil, global climate change, and wars across the globe, riots and protests have become an increasingly big problem for world governments. While some still go with the old-fashioned methods for brutally cracking down on protesters, some governments have turned to technology for more effective ways to corral their own citizens.

With two days to go until Burns Night, you’re probably expecting a whisky round-up, but you know what? Been there, done that more times than I care to remember. So let’s talk vodka instead: it’s just as appropriate a drink at this time of year and, given that the market is saturated with new gins, it’s time for a voddy revival. Several British distillers, especially those who are patiently waiting for their whisky to mature, certainly seem to think so.
