Get ready for a powerful new idea to alter the framework of DeFI! When the bear market forced Tempus Finance to build something new, David Garai and his team refused to back down. Searching for the next revolutionary idea, they identified one of the most challenging problems in DeFi: the need for a truly decentralized stablecoin. Enter Raft and the groundbreaking stablecoin, $R. Tying it to borrowed staked ETH, they've developed a game-changing solution that promises longevity and success. Prepare to be blown away by David's riveting conversation, as he shares vital lessons for founders in this era of constant innovation.

A reading and discussion on the meaning of the Parable of the Raft. The importance of various aspects of the teaching, such as the five spiritual faculties and the parami, is described. Hindrances are discussed, how to deal with them and then what meditation is like when they have been set aside. Finally, on the realisation of enlightenment, how the dhamma and meditation are no longer needed.

Businesses are hoping for raft of initiatives in this year's 'no frills' Budget. The issues businesses want resolved includes everything from fixing skills shortages to a national roading plan, and tax breaks on depreciation and research and development, to help drive investment and productivity. The Government, on the other hand, is promising a Budget of "restraint", focussed on the cost of living and flood repairs. Chief Executive of BusinessNZ, Kirk Hope, explains what businesses are hoping for on May 18.

Despite his short life, French painter Thèodore Gèricault (1791-1824) is remembered of one of the giants of art history. In his evocative masterpiece The Raft of the Medusa, Gèricault laid the groundwork for the Romantic era in the visual arts.  It's easy to get swept up in the vast spectrum of human emotion on display in the canvas. But how much of this painting was drawn from real life events? Today's image: Théodore Géricault, The Raft of the Medusa. (1818-19). Oil on Canvas. Musée du Louvre, Paris. ______ New episodes every month. Let's keep in touch!

Jeff Bettger (AKA Jeff Suffering) stops by to talk about his recently reformed 1990s Tooth and Nail band Ninety Pound Wuss, as well as his time playing music and being a pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle. We talk about his musical history, including Raft of Dead Monkeys, Suffering and the Hideous Thieves, and Team Strike Force, an early and very important band in the story of Mars Hill. He talks about discovering punk rock as a teenager, seeing Jesus as an anarchist, and his uncomfortable creative life as someone "too punk for the Christians and too Christian for the punks". He also talks about religious trauma and times he's experienced panic attacks as a result of his experience with Mars Hill.  Find out more about what's happening with Ninety Pound Wuss here: https://linktr.ee/ninetypoundwuss Check out Zach's music by going to:  https://muzach.bandcamp.com Twitter: Twitter: @vcwpod Zach- @muzach Dave- @Davejlester Podcast music by Zach Malm Logo by Zach Malm

Long before Jeff Probst was doing it, an insane Spanish man named Santiago ran an infamous "social experiment" on the seven seas to get to the bottom of humanity's obsession with war. Complete with sexual tension, personal drama, a struggle for power and MURDER, the "Sex Raft" of the 1970s was closer to reality television than it was a scientific pursuit.

Running waterfalls in rafts is not overly common, but some rafters do it.  Tony Glassman and his river crew built a film about running waterfalls that eventually lead to people following their lead, but not following their path of gaining experience and skills.  Tony explains the layers of training and safety and experience and communication that he and his river crew have worked through to become competent waterfall running rafters. ADVERTISING SPONSORSDown River Equipment CompanyInstagramAmerican WhitewaterInstagramGIVEAWAYRiver Radius & Down River GiveawayDown River Clear Creek Cat Boat Package GUESTTony Glassman @coloradowhitewaterafterYaw The MovieUse promo code:  YAWCLAW@yawthemovieOther rafting film:  Go Big Or Go Home TONY'S BOOK LISTWater the blood of my soul Canoeing the Congo Anything worth doing Comrades of the colca Brothers of the Bashkaus River of doubt Where the water goes Emerald mile Down the great unknown Beyond the hundredth meridian  

To build anew or to rebuild? Many developers have a knee-jerk reaction to start building existing software systems from scratch because they think that is the easiest way forward.  Today, we talk with John Ousterhout. John is the Bosack Lerner Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University. His current research focuses on new software stack layers to allow data center applications to take advantage of communication and storage technologies with microsecond-scale latencies. He is the author of the book "A Philosophy of Software Design", co-creator of the Raft consensus algorithm, and creator of the Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit. He tells us about the software designs of legacy systems, why incremental changes of legacy systems are inevitable, and how to resist the impulse of rewriting large software systems from scratch.  When you finish listening to the episode, connect with John on Twitter, read his book, and join his discussion group on software design.  Mentioned in this episode: John on Twitter at https://twitter.com/johnousterhout?lang=en John's profile at Stanford University at https://web.stanford.edu/~ouster/cgi-bin/home.php A Philosophy of Software design at https://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Software-Design-John-Ousterhout/dp/1732102201 Raft Consensus Algorithm at https://raft.github.io TCL/Tk at https://www.tcl.tk/about/language.html John's Software Design Discussion Group at software-design-book@googlegroups.com

Today I'm talking with Colorado businesswoman Sheri Tingey. Sheri pioneered an entire adventure sport, while many her age were mulling retirement. Recently, on her 77th birthday, Sheri Tingey finally saw her dream come true.   Two decades and dozens of prototypes later, Alpacka Raft launched the Valkyrie. Suited for Class V whitewater, this Packraft is the closest resemblance of a hard shell kayak ever made. It's the culmination of Sheri's ambitions since she designed the modern-day Packraft and built the brand 22 years ago. Her idea blossomed into a 50-employee company, making the brand a leader in the outdoor industry and one of the largest employers in the small mountain town of Mancos, CO.

You know, honestly, I've been in the outdoors from the time I can remember I was born and raised in Phoenix. I, from the time I was a very small child, I hated the heat, didn't, you know, didn't want anything to do with that. But there was a camp out of Prescott and my dad would build cabins for them. I only have a tiny memory of that, but by the next year, that and that camp was everything about being in the outdoors. And how did you learn how to sew and make things? I come from the generation that women still, you know, sewed. My grandmother lived with us and she made all of our clothes, in those days. You know, today it, it is kind of interesting, sewing has become one of these lost arts that's sort of, redefining itself again. But when I was young, clothing was very expensive and so most people sewed. My grandmother lived in a little tiny cabin out and back and she had a little singer. And you know, she didn't so much teach us as my sister and I would just watch her and she let us use the sewing machine. And so by the time Rogue was five and I was three. We started sewing. Where'd you learn to kayak? Yep. I, I had moved to Jackson Hole in 1967, and lived there for many years till we moved to Alaska. And I started kayaking. I got invited on a trip on the Owyhee River. Some friends who were, uh, ski friends who had and you, I'm trying to think, this would be about 1971. Okay. Something like that. Mm-hmm. 72 maybe. And you know, at that time there were kayaks on the East coast and there were some kayaks in Seattle and Los Angeles, but almost nothing in the Rocky Mountains. Kayaking had not hit yet. I was a water fanatic and I am invited on this trip on the Owyhee River, and there were four kayaks and one raft. And I, of course, was in the raft and I had never seen kayaks before. And I took one look at those things and went, oh my God, this is the way you, you know, all of a sudden you have waves, you have water, it's like the ocean. So the, uh, last day of the trip, the three of us that were in the raft, they traded off and let us play in the kayaks. And I just was, you know, it was love the second I got in and I was like, oh my God, I am home. Did that also get you in rafting? You know, I was never a quote-unquote rafter. I think rafts are great, but particularly then, even now, you need a lot of stuff for a raft. You need at least four people and a lot of stuff. You need a good trailer. You need all this stuff. There's nothing small about owning a raft, but buying this world-famous that weighed, you know, what, 25 pounds or something? You could throw it in the back of the car. Looking back I realized, wow, those were dots, that those were the dots in the line of development for building pack rafts that I would've never even remotely thought about. It was this reality that, wow, I don't want a huge raft. I want something I can throw in the back of the car. I want something that, you know, can support my kayak trip. Share with us the early days from that first boat. Sounds like you made your first boat and played around with it. How long after that first boat did the company start? Two years earlier, Thor went to Colorado College, which is a school that had an adventure program that gave grants for basically adventure travel. And it was done because one of the previous alumni, Rick Kellogg was a climber and he was killed on Mount Foraker and his parents had a fair amount of money and started a fund at this college for travel. So Thor won a grant his sophomore year, and there were five of them. And that year they took a, I don't know what it was, like a three-week or a month trip at that point. So, the idea was always there, but there wasn't a boat. And so long story short, the summer before Thor's first trip, Roman Dial and Carl Tobin had done a thing called heli biking the Alaska Range. They started at the Alaska-Yukon border and followed the Alaska range up and ended up at Lake Clark. They were gone all summer and they had their bikes and they had these little pack rafts that were made by Sherpa. So that was the year before Thor won his grant. And we knew Roman. So when Thor was trying to figure out what he wanted to do, my ex and I said at the time, you should talk to Roman, cuz Roman just knows so much about travel in the state. And so Roman kind of put Thor onto making a pack raft, quote unquote work, and do this last third of the trip that they'd done. And so they did that year. And those boats, they bought little $79.95 Sevylors. So with almost every mile, one of the boats out of the five would sink and they, you know, they just repaired and repaired and repaired and repaired. And so any rate, when he returned from that trip, he said, I will never ever, ever, ever take a Sevylor anywhere again. And so fast forward two years and, and he has a trip again, and there was another gentleman named Curtis, his last name was Curtis. He was a Boeing engineer, and in one of those bust economies, he started building these beautiful little boats, but it was made out of tissue paper practically. He was a high-country lake fisherman, and that's what they were designed for. Thor was climbing Denali when the boat arrived. And I unpacked this thing and I took one look and I thought, oh my God, you are so toast You're not even gonna get off the lake in this thing. So I went down to Joanne Fabrics, and in those days they actually had some Pack Cloth and glued it on the bottom, at least to give him something of a floor. Then he got off Denali and heads off on this trip. And so when he returned, as they say, I weighed that boat and I weighed about three and a half pounds when it left, and it was close to 15 pounds. at the end of the year when it came back and it was just patch on patch on patch. And that's when he said, can you build me a boat and like a dummy I said, uh, yeah. Are there any future projects you guys are working on that you can talk about? Well, you know, and what's been fun the Valkyrie, this last boat that just came out. I lovingly call her the bitch because she is the bitch. Dustin and I, and Thor and everyone, we've worked so long on this boat. There are so many things we learned off of that boat. Uh, just like with all, all of these things, you know, it's that classic progression, right, that you learn a new technique, well then you take back and you know, it drips down to all the others and, oh, we can do this now, we can do that now. And there are so many things I learned off of building the Valkyrie that I can now take forward into some of these other boats that I'm doing that I wouldn't even thought about. So do you get outside much? Do you get to paddle a lot? The last two years, to be honest, I've been real active up till about two years ago, and then my chronic fatigue just came out of the closet again. And so it'll, well, It's life. At least I'm functioning again. The most I get out is I bought, I broke down and bought a nice electric bike. I'm trying to ski a little bit this winter, but I'm also starting to get Healthier. Do you have any suggestions or advice for folks wanting to get into the outdoor adventure business? One, don't be afraid of it. It's one of the things that happens, and it was a, one of the biggest lessons for me, you know, I had my business making ski clothing. I started in 1968, you know, and went till 1981. And at that point was, when all there were so many little tiny manufacturers like myself and then Patagonia, Chouinard at that time, and North Face and all those guys all of a sudden just exploded, blew up. And all of us in this, in the industry that were little thought, this is the end. You know, there's, there's no hope. There's no room for anybody else. And what I came to find out many years later is, that's not true because as these companies get bigger, they, you can't be great big and be cutting edge. It just doesn't work. If you, the more people you sell to, the more you have to dumb down your, gears the wrong word, but in a way it's, it, it has to be more standard. There's always room on the cutting edge. Yeah. If you're gonna try to do something standardized, yeah you might have some problems, you know, then you're fighting the big voice. But if you can make something really good that's out there on that edge that has a market, absolutely you can do it. I think the most difficult thing today is, which didn't used to be such a problem is getting your hands on the fabrics that you need. Some of those companies are not so willing to sell the good stuff, but, you can find your way through it. It you just have to be persistent. You can do it, but just be careful about where you start and you don't need to be a giant. Start small and let it grow, you know? That's perfect. Do you have a favorite piece of outdoor gear under a hundred dollars that you use a lot that you like? When I saw that, I chuckled. Several years ago we had moved into Anchorage. There was an article in the paper about a man and his son uh, out in the Bethel area, which is, well it's out in the big delta there. Anyway, it was early June and I, I don't even remember the river that they were running, but they had come around a corner, you know, they're out in the middle of absolute nowhere and the entire river was frozen over and they went under the ice. Long story short, it wasn't too far. The whole thing went under and they broke out the other side and you know, they lost everything. He and his son survived because he had a waterproof lighter. And in those days I always had lighters and I always put 'em in plastic baggies and everything, and never thought that, but any rate, I went down and I bought a waterproof lighter and It's one of the coolest things I've ever owned, and it is such an incredible safety thing to have that, you know, this thing's gonna work. That's a great thing to have. Do you have a couple favorite Books? John Kretschmer Cape Horn to Starboard Sailing a Serious Ocean As we wrap up, is there anything else you'd like to say to, or ask of our listeners? You know, I would say one thing, but I think it's apropo of this time in particular. And this is not just alpaca, all of these companies like alpaca, that chose to stay here. People need to understand just how difficult that is for these, companies, to choose to produce in this country. Everything works against you. It's so easy to say, oh, I'm going abroad and I'm gonna get slave labor and I'm gonna get this and I'm gonna get that and I'm gonna make my big bucks. Any of these smaller companies that choose to do their production at home. They're gonna be a little more expensive. But they give people jobs. They're, there's just so much about them that people need to recognize that it's not all about the darn bottom dollar, you know? So you save five bucks. Uh, think about where you're buying and why you're buying it, because there are a lot of companies like ours, especially in the outdoor industry now, there's many of 'em, Give him a, a good hard look. Follow up with Sheri Just call Alpacka and they will get in contact with me and I will contact 'em back.

Your support goes directly to creating future episodes and allows this podcast to be ad-free and 100% listener supported. Your kindness means the world to me and I hope you might feel inspired to explore the natural areas where you live.A fairly short recording this week, but it is time well spent with a raft of Mallard Ducks. Until today, I would have said a flock of ducks but, apparently, ducks are only called a flock when they are in flight. When they are in the water, a raft, team, or a paddling of ducks is used. When they are on land? That's called a sord of ducks. This is certain to be a question on Jeopardy, so jot this down and keep it close to the vest. Just remember me when you win. This is a recording from the same location as last week, but from the other side of Otter Creek. I left a recorder and microphones attached to a tree close to the bank of the creek. When I went to retrieve the gear, I could see at least 100 ducks grouped together and being very talkative. A heavy snow was coming down, so they appeared as ghosts on the creek and I immediately regretted not having a longer lens on my camera to get a photo.  In other news, I found a new recording location much closer to my house. I spent a few hours there this week to scout the location and get a feel for the wildlife in the area. It is so quiet that my test recording came back with NOTHING. No cars, no airplanes, and no nature sounds. However, there are plentiful signs of activity, so I just need to learn the area for better microphone placement. Apologies for the short recording this week, but I think you will enjoy it. For the discerning listener, you will probably hear some random traffic noise. This is because of the time of day of the recording and its proximity to a main road. I can only record from this location at night because there is very little traffic, but I think the noise is faint enough that it won't distract from the listening experience. Recording Details:Date and Time: 1/26/2023 | 10:00 AMLocation: Sleeping Bear Dunes National LakeshoreLandscape/Feature: Otter CreekConditions: 28F (-2C), Heavy Snow, Moderate Wind, Dense FogRecording Device: Zoom F6 Field RecorderMicrophone(s): Sonorous Objects SO.1 MicrophonesDigital Audio Workstation: Adobe AuditionSupport the showThanks for listening! ❤️ Your support means the world to me.

The trip to Mexico of "the raft of sex" is one of the strangest group experiments of all time. 11 people on a 101-day sea voyage, mixing violence, assault and sexual attraction, in 1973. And not all of them were single...

Western allies have pledged a raft of new military aid for Ukraine. European defence ministers from 11 countries are meeting in Estonia to announce the package, saying "we're in it for the long haul". Among the new gear on the way to Ukraine are 600 anti-tank missiles and howitzer artillery systems from the UK, Sweden and Denmark. BBC correspondent James Waterhouse spoke to Guyon Espiner.

Today - A new fish counting raft deployed by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife now sits atop an ice flow.

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. (Columbia Slough, Columbia County; 1940s) (For text and pictures, see http://offbeatoregon.com/1202c-benson-log-rafts-built-city-of-san-diego.html)

David Waldman leads us into the KITM Eastern Orthodox Canadian Thanksgiving Week solo, as Greg Dworkin had his Raft o' Stories™ blown off course and is busy with a soccer ball and the Professor to chart a course over to Wednesday: Again, we start the week under the cloud of another mass shooting. It's also a hate crime, and of course, a terrorist attack. Even when mass killers use a knife, they go with military-grade weaponry. Donald Trump was all Fake News when he predicted that Elon Musk would drop to his knees for him.  Nope... Musk got on all fours like a dog and begged, “Please Mr. Trump, sir, please return to Twitter”. Unfortunately for Elon, the only thing Donald covets more than other people's money, is other people's pain. Elon Musk only wanted to Twitter and chill, baby. Oh well, time to check out YouTube. Even as president, Trump wanted websites to offer only entertainment value. A Republican operative accepted Trump campaign money from Russians and pocketed three quarters of it. The only thing Trump could have against that, is that it wasn't him doing it. Middle Eastern governments should have guessed that once they invited Jared Kushner in, the rest of the Trump family would follow. Remember when Supreme Court leaks were a big deal? Now Samuel Alito has been unmasked as leaking anti-abortion decisions as early as 2014. This isn't the second leak. The Supreme Court leaks like dollar store pull-ups. We now enter the Marjorie Taylor Greene era of American governing. Who knows, Marge might give Donald a hand, but really, what's in it for her? Greene might need to think about moving toward the future. An Arizona Republican just elected became an election denier and will deny any job obligations until there's another election. The annual United Nations global climate summit, COP27, decided on creating a fund to help poor nations deal with climate change. US red states facing lower heating bills and longer growing seasons probably weren't consulted.

This week we sit down with one of our favorite winemakers, and cookbook authors, Jennifer Reichardt. Raised on a duck farm, she has been surrounded by bills and feathers from a young age, her family has supplied delicious ducks to all of the best restaurants in California. Her journey pulled her into wine, working for some epic producers, before starting her own label, Raft. Jennifer followed that up with a new project called Little Trouble Wine Co. with her friend Sara Morgenstern. Now she has released her amazing cookbook, The Whole Duck, available this week.
