Peter Hall's journey into river stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) began with a restless curiosity. Early on, he wanted to take paddleboarding into whitewater—a place where traditional boards didn't work. That challenge sparked the creation of Hala, an inflatable-only paddleboard company based in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. From the outset, Hall's mission was to design boards that made river SUP not only possible, but exciting.From backyard experiments in Steamboat to game-changing innovations like the StompBox retractable fin, Peter Hall and Hala Gear have rewritten what's possible in river stand-up paddleboarding.

El 67% de lxs Finishers en UTMB100M y OCC50K hacen tiempos en meta que son el doble o más del tiempo ganador: 37-47h en UTMB, 10-15h en OCC. Equivalen a ritmos promedio de 11'-17'/km, que se traducen en 7-12h en completar una maratón. Por supuesto, NO pretendo decir a participantes en carreras u organizaciones de las mismas cómo, y cómo no, debe afrontarse una carrera de montaña, si a ritmos de X o Y minutos por kilómetro. Pero, sí me parece pertinente el debate de si debemos llamar a las cosas por su nombre. Y una cosa es "correr" y "competir" un trail y otra es hacer "trekking" para "completar" la distancia. No hay nada mejor ni peor en cada una de las opciones, pero creo que son distintas y así deberíamos reconocerlas. Quizás me equivoque... En fin, éste es el debate. Para desarrollarlo, en algún momento haremos referencia a los estudios de Guillaume Millet.

Most fintechs chased hype. Abhi chased cash flow.In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, we sit down with Omair Ansari, Co-Founder & CEO of Abhi, one of Pakistan's fastest-growing fintechs.Abhi began with earned wage access, giving workers instant liquidity. Today, it has scaled into payroll financing, SME lending, and invoice factoring — and even acquired a licensed microfinance bank in Pakistan to materially lower its cost of funds.We explore:- Why profitability and cost of capital decide who survives fintech's winter- How Abhi scaled from earned wage access into a full-stack working capital platform- Pakistan as the anchor, GCC as the growth frontier- The real potential (and limits) of tokenization & private credit- Why licences and compliance, not glossy apps, are the true moat in fintech- How embedded finance at payroll and receivables lowers costs and expands inclusionThis is more than a growth story — it's a blueprint for building durable fintech in emerging markets.

Giuliano Boccali"Guru"Trasformazioni del maestro dall'India antica alla realtà attualeFestival Filosofiawww.festivalfilosofia.itFestival Filosofia, SassuoloSabato 20 settembre 2025, ore 11:30Giuliano BoccaliGuruTrasformazioni del maestro dall'India antica alla realtà attualeChe valore formativo assume la figura del guru nella tradizione indiana? Questa lezione riflette sul rapporto tra discepolo e maestro come cammino di liberazione interiore, in cui la devozione non è rinuncia alla libertà ma disciplina che favorisce l'emergere del maestro interiore, esplorando l'attualità di tale modello nella cultura occidentale.rrGiuliano Boccali  è stato professore di Indologia e Lingua e letteratura sanscrita presso l'Università di Milano e ha insegnato anche Filologia iranica presso l'Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia. È presidente onorario dell'Associazione italiana di studi sanscriti. Si è occupato di letteratura indiana classica, in relazione ai grandi poemi epici tradizionali. I suoi studi sono rivolti all'estetica letteraria e figurativa, alla poesia indiana classica, in particolare ai temi della natura e dell'amore, e allo status delle passioni nella cultura dell'India tradizionale. Ha curato l'edizione italiana di numerosi classici della letteratura indiana (Bilhana, Kalidasa, Jayadeva, Hala). Le sue ricerche riconducono le tradizioni letterarie e filosofiche dell'Asia meridionale a interrogativi di carattere universale, quali il desiderio, la bellezza, l'esperienza del silenzio e le configurazioni dell'immaginario religioso. Accanto alla ricerca filologica e all'attività accademica, ha svolto un'intensa opera di divulgazione culturale, collaborando a lungo con il domenicale de “Il Sole 24 Ore” e dirigendo collane editoriali dedicate all'Oriente antico. Tra i suoi libri: Il silenzio in India. Un'antologia (a cura di, Milano-Udine 2017); Arte e letteratura nelle società in Asia. Aspetti tradizionali e «Renaissance orientale». Ediz. italiana, inglese e francese (a cura di, con Maria Angelillo, Roma 2017); La storia di Siva e Parvati (a cura di, Venezia 2018); Il dio dalle frecce fiorite. Miti e leggende dell'amore in India (Bologna 2022); Tutto è sacro in India (nuova ed., con Sabrina Ciolfi, fotografie di Christopher Taylor, Milano 2022); Eros, passioni, emozioni nella civiltà dell'India (a cura di, con Malgorzata Sacha e Raffaele Torella, Roma 2023); Un mondo diverso per davvero. La letteratura classica indiana (Milano 2025).Giuliano Boccali"Un mondo diverso per davvero. La letteratura classica indiana"Unicopliwww.unicopli.it«Come un fiore nato per virtù di magia…» è l'espressione celeberrima che il grande filosofo indiano Abhinavagupta utilizzò per definire l'arte letteraria indiana e la sua capacità di "liberare spiritualmente" il fruitore e portarlo al distacco totale e definitivo dal mondo fenomenico. Di questa gloriosa letteratura si occupano i saggi raccolti in questo volume, che ripropongono scritti pubblicati da Giuliano Boccali nel corso del suo percorso di studio e insegnamento.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

We hosted an emergency livestream with Hala Sabbah of the Sameer Project back on July 21st to talk about the absolutely horrific situation in Gaza as a result of the US-funded and supported Israeli enacted genocide. Since conditions have not changed substantially, I wanted to also make sure to get a lightly edited version of that conversation out to our audio podcast feed. Just a reminder that due to our own limitations these days most of our work is on our YouTube page, where we host multiple conversations per week.  This is our third conversation with Hala Sabbah from the Sameer Project since its founding during this genocide. We have a playlist with all three.  You can support the Sameer Project via their linktree which we will include in the show description as well Another conversation we held this week that I will link in the show description is our interview of Nora Barrows-Friedman of the Electronic Intifada, which we just hosted on Monday.  Please continue to do what you can, wherever you can, to support people in Gaza and to put political pressure on all of those complicit in this genocide to make their position untenable. Tomorrow, Thursday August 7th at 10 AM EDT we will host a livestream with socialist and Pro-Palestine barrister Franck Magennis. We encourage people to tune into that conversation as well. And on Monday August 11th we'll have a livestream with Abdaljawad Omar once again.
