In this episode, our group explores how artwork can show moments of history not only beautiful stories, but also tragedies. Throughout our podcast we dive deep into the history of the artwork “The Raft of Medusa.” We discuss the events behind the artwork, the history, art style, philosophy, and the artist's life to ultimately come to a conclusion. Can a painting representing so much tragedy be beautiful or does it empathize terror? Does the artwork show artist Gericault's sickening thoughts or his beautiful techniques?

We'll be tackling these questions and more in this episode on the aesthetics of one the most transgressive works of the Romanticism Era.

India’s largest retail broker is making its debut on Dalal Street - but can Groww sustain its blistering rise once the markets start asking harder questions? Founded in 2016 by four ex-Flipkart entrepreneurs, Groww has reimagined investing for young India - through clean design, relatable content, and a promise of simplicity in finance. Its ₹6,600-crore IPO now is a test of whether scale built on retail exuberance can evolve into long-term resilience.

We see new brands pop up all the time, but what happens when your idea is so novel that it essentially births an entire sport and industry? That was the case when Thor Tingey and his mom, Sheri, started Alpacka Raft.So today, Thor and Luke Koppa discuss the unique challenges and advantages this scenario presented; how and why Thor and Sheri were able to craft these ultralight rafts themselves; the ways in which the packrafting industry has evolved and grown over the years; Alpacka's manufacturing operation in the United States and how that's changed with the recent shakeups to worldwide trade; and a whole lot more.

Wei Hu is the Senior Vice President, High Availability Technologies, at Oracle. In today's Cloud Wars Live, Hu sits down with Bob Evans for a wide-ranging discussion on Oracle's globally distributed database, AI-native workloads, and how Oracle is helping businesses meet data sovereignty requirements while delivering high performance, elasticity, and always-on availability across regions.Where AI Meets Your DataThe Big Themes:Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale: Oracle's Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure delivers something few cloud providers can: high performance, high availability, and full compliance. Built on Oracle's powerful Exadata platform, this architecture removes the traditional need to purchase or manage hardware. Organizations can start small and elastically scale compute and memory across multiple regions.Agentic AI and Vector Search at Enterprise Scale: Oracle's database innovation is designed for real-world AI demands, especially agentic AI. AI agents need massive compute, consistent availability, and extremely fast access to live business data. Oracle's globally distributed architecture supports in-memory vector indexes for lightning-fast retrieval augmented generation (RAG), making AI more responsive and effective. Additionally, Oracle keeps AI close to the data — eliminating stale data issues and ensuring compliance.Built for a Sovereign Cloud World: Data residency and sovereignty are no longer optional, they're legal imperatives. Countries around the world are implementing strict rules on where data must be stored, how it can be accessed, and who can process it. Oracle addresses these challenges with policy-driven data distribution, allowing customers to define how and where data lives. Whether it's for compliance with India's payment data regulations or Europe's GDPR, Oracle enables precise control without requiring app changes or replication of the full stack.The Big Quote: “The other thing that's interesting about agentic AI is that it's very dynamic. The work comes in, the demands comes in, like a tidal wave. Then it goes away, right, then a little, then when it comes again, there's another tidal wave. So, what you really want to do is have an infrastructure that is elastic, that can scale up and down depending on the demand."More from Wei Hu and Oracle:Connect with Wei Hu on LinkedIn and learn more about Globally Distributed Exadata Database on Exascale Infrastructure.* Sponsored Podcast * Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Lumber magnate Simon Benson needed to get logs from the Columbia to his mill in Southern California, so he designed cigar-shaped log rafts a full acre in size. They were a familiar sight until the early 1940s. (Clatskanie, Columbia County; 1890s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1202c-benson-log-rafts-built-city-of-san-diego.html)

"Gilligan's Island" is a sitcom that aired on CBS from 1964-1967. The show follows the comedic adventures of seven castaways who become stranded on a deserted island after a tropical storm wrecks their boat, the S.S. Minnow. Much of the show's humor is driven from the contrast between the characters' personalities and their adaptation (or lack thereof) to island life. Although it was originally met with mixed reviews from critics, Gilligan's Island gained a massive fan following through syndication, becoming a pop culture icon. Its characters and theme song became instantly recognizable. Does this classic hold up or is this one better lost at sea? Listen as the S1E1 boys deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Two on a Raft". Starring: Bob Denver, Alan Hale Jr., Jim Backus, Natalie Schafer, Tina Louise, Russell Johnson, & Dawn Wells www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

This week on Motherish, we're joined by Jenisbel Acevedo—author of "A Raft of Dreams," content creator, philanthropist, and proud mother of two boys. At just nine years old, Jenisbel risked everything to cross the sea from Cuba to the United States, a journey she beautifully documents in her book. Today, she's turning that life-changing experience into a legacy of purpose through her foundation, her return to medicine, and most importantly, in how she's raising the next generation. In this inspiring conversation, we talk about motherhood, identity, and what it means to raise children rooted in strength, love, and the stories that shaped us.
