Oliver Laxe is the director of the Oscar-nominated film Sirāt, which is up for best international feature (representing Spain) and best sound at this year's Academy Awards. Set against vast stretches of desert, the film follows a father searching for his missing daughter after she disappears at a rave deep in the mountains of southern Morocco. Oliver spent more than a decade making Sirāt, paring the script down to just 50 pages and letting its deep techno score, movement and imagery drive the story. In this conversation with guest host Garvia Bailey, he talks about his singular approach to storytelling, and the surprising role the dance floor played in his own healing.

It also included a T21st at Czech Ladies Challenge where Michaela was in the final group in contention playing alongside the one and only Sára Kousková and although it wasn't the finish the Slovak star was wanting it was an experience that will live long I the memory especially after Sara winning back to back LET titles at Jabra Ladies Open & Tenerife Womens Open.  Michaela also known as Miska is from the small town of Bojnice in Slovakia and would play the game through her grandparents at an early age. During her junior career Michaela has played multiple times for Slovakian National Team at European Ladies Am Team Championships & played at Le Golf National at 2022 Espirito Santo Trophy. Michaela is a 2x Slovak Player of the Year and 2023 Slovakian National Champion. During her time at University of Nebraska, Miska would enjoy her time there and would win Big Ten Sportsmanship award in 2024. Before Michaela would turn pro in 2024 she would finish T12th at Czech Ladies Challenge in 2022 on LETAS, would gain a start at 2023 Belgian Ladies Open on LET and would finish 2nd at her home country event in 2024 on Access Series. 2025 would see Michaela finish 18th on LET Access Series Order of Merit standings after some solid displays. We also talk about Slovak golf and how she has high hopes for more Slovakian talent to come through to join her & Katarina Drocarova on LETAS tour with some advice to any players looking to take up the game in English & in her native Slovakian.

Although the Muslim inhabitants of these lands speak dozens of languages, represent numerous ethnic groups, and practice diverse forms of Islam, they are united by shared practices and worldviews shaped by religious identity. To highlight these commonalities, the co-editors invited a team of scholars from a wide range of disciplines to examine Muslim societies in comparative and interconnected ways.  The result is a book that showcases ethics, education, architecture, the arts, modernization, political resistance, marriage, divorce, and death rituals.

Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

From the sound collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum, University of Oxford, being from a collection of reel-to-reel tape recordings of Berber (Ait Haddidu) music and soundscapes made by members of the Oxford University Expedition to the Atlas Mountains of Southern Morocco in 1961.Recorded by Audrey Butt, Michael R. Emerson or Ralph Hudson Johnson.Copyright Pitt Rivers Museum, University of Oxford.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

YAZ is a vocal and electroacoustic composition built from a field recording of an Aït Haddidou market in Rabat, captured in 1961. What struck me immediately was the presence of a young boy's voice, cutting through the density of the market: a call. Not directed at anyone in particular, yet lingering. That voice became the starting point of the piece, an echo moving through time and memory.Research into Aït Haddidou and Amazigh musical culture revealed a relationship to voice that is inseparable from daily life. Singing is not performance. It belongs to work, ritual, gathering, and transmission. In Amazigh group singing, voices move in unison. A song exists because a community carries it, through repetition and collective presence, as an acknowledgement of life itself.The piece opens with my voice recorded as a soft lullaby, an intimate humming inspired by the singing women carry inside the home. I chose a wordless melody to allow the voice to transcend language, time, and place, reflecting how memory often survives beyond words - the peculiar way a melody, or even a scent, can instantly transport us through time.As the piece unfolds, the voice thickens and multiplies, gradually transforming into a collective chant. Intimacy expands into togetherness. Repetition becomes more insistent. The singing grows intense, almost like a march — not as a gesture of power, but as an act of persistence and the strength that lies within a community. As a nomadic people, I like to imagine these songs carrying a sense of home and belonging.The market recording functions as a living archive. Through spatialisation, spectral processing, and subtle glitch-like distortions, voices and noises stretch, fragment, and drift. The market shifts between reality and dream, familiar and haunted.My practice combines voice, field recording, and spatial sonic exploration. Coming from a multicultural background, partly Arabic, this piece resonates deeply with my ongoing exploration of memory, identity, exile, and the way we carry the voices of our ancestors across time.The title YAZ refers to the Amazigh symbol ⵣ, a sign of freedom, dignity, and resistance. The piece is conceived as a call across ages. A reminder that voices do not vanish. When we listen, they return.Market sounds, Morocco reimagined by Ilhem.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Cities and Memory - remixing the sounds of the world

The source material that I worked with was a field recording from the 60s in which someone in Morocco is singing a song, begging for bread. When I first listened to the recording, it immediately brought back a very specific memory from an old workplace of mine – an energy company had made a typographical error on their website, and when their customers struggling with energy debts called the phone number for the company's hardship scheme, it reached the completely unrelated company where I worked. For about a week, I was answering the phone explaining to stressed people struggling to pay their energy bills that they had to hang up and call a very slightly different phone number to get the service they needed. When I tried to contact the energy company about their mistake, it was nigh-on impossible because they were largely using automated chatbots for their customer service. All of that influenced the atmosphere of this short track, and my decision to take the original recording and bury it amidst liminal-sounding distorted “call holding” music: even as our societies have ostensibly developed and evolved since the original recording was made - with technology and infrastructures becoming infinitely more complex - the same problems and tragic inequities continue on.Ait Haddidu beggar singing for bread reimagined by Mute Branches.———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

She has travelled in her work too from the US and Canada to places like India, Morocco, Taiwan and hopefully at some point in the future, Scotland.More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

Despite discrimination against Jews under Muslim rule throughout Moroccan Jewish history, there was still an unusual relationship that Jews and Muslims had in Morocco. This was especially true with the native Berbers. From Muslims praying at the graves of Jewish tzadikim, to close business ties, sharing festivities, prayers and other life cycle events, Muslims and Jews in Moroccan Jewish history had an interesting relationship. The seeming downside of this closeness was the prevalence of conversion of Jews to Islam, both forced and even voluntary.

In this episode of arts24, Eve Jackson speaks to Moroccan filmmaker Maryam Touzani, whose intimate and quietly powerful cinema continues to explore love, identity and the tensions within Moroccan society. After "Adam" and "The Blue Caftan", she returns with her most personal film yet, "Calle Málaga" – a story of memory, mixed identity and belonging set in Tangier's historic Spanish community. At a time when debates around migration and identity feel increasingly polarised, Touzani brings the conversation back to something deeply human. The film is also a tender and rare meditation on ageing and desire – celebrating vitality, intimacy and dignity later in life in ways cinema seldom dares to portray.

She eventually moved back to the US and has been at Astris for the past 13 years, specializing in energy and infrastructure investment banking.

Tobey reflects on the changes in Venezuela since then, expressing optimism for the future despite the current challenges. She shares a personal story about her son being born in Venezuela and the family's eventual move back to the US. Venezuela Under Chavez The conversation turns to Chavez's administration and the reforms he implemented. Tobey recalls the acquisition of the largest electricity distribution company in Venezuela by AES during her time in Venezuela. She acknowledges Chavez's initial leftist leanings but notes that he later became more radical. Tobey shares a story about a deal she worked on in Guatemala, helping to refinance a company's debt. She explains the due diligence process, the importance of understanding business risks, and the role of rating agencies in structuring deals.

Tobey discusses the challenges and opportunities in the battery storage market, including the need for reliable electricity supply. She mentions the importance of data centers and the challenges they face in securing enough energy generation capacity. The Demand for Electricity in the US  Tobey explains that electricity demand in the US is expected to grow, necessitating more generation capacity. She discusses the role of traditional sources like gas-fired power plants and new technologies like small modular reactors and geothermal energy. Tobey highlights the importance of transmission lines and energy storage solutions to address the demand. She notes the need for investment and innovation to meet the growing demand for electricity.

Epstein Engineered Musk's Dating Life

Based on the released Department of Justice files, here is a rundown of the connection between Jeffrey Epstein and Kimbal MuskThe Engineered RelationshipIn September 2012, around the time of Kimbal Musk's 40th birthday, Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Boris Nikolic actively orchestrated a meeting between Kimbal and an unnamed woman in Epstein's circle. Emails show Nikolic telling Epstein to "prepare [the woman]" for the meeting and suggesting Kimbal might want to "ditch his ex" to be with her.Following a lunch at Epstein's Manhattan penthouse in October 2012, Kimbal emailed both men to express his gratitude: "Jeffrey and Boris, many thanks for connecting me with [the woman]. I believe you both played a role. :)". Nikolic replied with a warning for Kimbal to "be nice" to her, as Epstein "goes crazy when someone mistreats his girls/friends".Depth of InvolvementThe relationship lasted approximately six months, during which Epstein remained a significant behind-the-scenes presence:• Backchannel Communication: The woman frequently forwarded Kimbal's personal messages to Epstein and sought his advice on how to handle the relationship.• Travel Planning: Epstein suggested romantic destinations like Morocco and kept a detailed itinerary of the couple's travels from October through January.• Advice on "Dating": When Kimbal attempted to scale back the relationship to "just dating" in April 2013, the woman consulted Epstein. Epstein responded, "good news now i have you back again, full time," and invited her to his ranch.Attempts to Reach Elon MuskSources suggest Epstein viewed Kimbal as a "means of gaining connection to the Musk family," specifically his older brother, Elon. In late 2012, Epstein and Elon Musk exchanged direct emails regarding a potential visit to Epstein's private island. Elon asked, "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?". While the trip reportedly did not happen due to logistics, the emails indicate a period where Epstein actively "courted" both brothers.Public Denials vs. Documented EvidenceIn 2026, Kimbal Musk posted a statement on X claiming he only met Epstein once in a New York office during the day and denied that Epstein introduced him to the woman. However, the sources note that Kimbal appears in the Epstein files more than 300 times. The emails depict a "far friendlier and more intricate relationship" than Kimbal has publicly acknowledged, including social jokes about coordinating Halloween costumes and invitations to SpaceX launches.Consequences and Public ReactionThe exposure has led to significant public backlash. Kimbal Musk recently left the board of the Burning Man festival following an open letter from the community calling for a review of his position. While the documents do not accuse the Musk brothers of illegal wrongdoing, they have caused significant "embarrassment and public disgust" by revealing their proximity to Epstein's social and sexual network

On this episode, Jeff Hinshaw guides you through a somatic meditation and energy update connectd to the Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse (February 17, 2026), a powerful threshold moment inviting radical freedom, collective liberation, and visionary action. As we stand between major shift, Neptune newly in Aries (since January 26), Saturn entering Aries on February 13, and their historic conjunction at 0° Aries on February 20, we're asked to merge dream with discipline and take courageous steps toward a new 29-year cycle. With the North Node set to enter Aquarius in July and the Year of the Fire Horse igniting bold momentum, this eclipse offers a preview of emerging collective storylines around collaboration, mutual aid, and shared vision. In addition, on this Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse episode, Jeff Hinshaw is joined by Chef Stephanie Shershow for a conversation on friendship, service, ritual, and soul evolution. We reflect on meeting in India in January 2024 as Pluto entered Aquarius, the karmic bond that formed between us, and the many initiations Stephanie has moved through since—losing her home in a hurricane, the passing of her father, relationship endings, and her cross-country move west. Through it all, she shares how decades of sobriety, Kundalini yoga, and daily spiritual practice have become a non-negotiable anchor. Together we explore the Aquarian archetype of the water bearer—the outsider who returns to nourish the collective—and how Stephanie embodies this through her Aquarius Sun, Taurus Moon, and Libra Rising: the friendly humanitarian in a field of rolling greens, ensuring the revolution is well fed. We also dive into the power of food as ritual and how feeding someone can be an act of dignity and devotion. Stephanie shares stories from her work in recovery centers and her intuitive relationship to nourishment, while we preview our upcoming Aquarius New Moon gathering in Joshua Tree celebrating the launch of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot. Inspired by tarot archetypes, Morocco, Kyoto, and shared global journeys, the evening weaves together mocktails, cherry blossoms, cacao, music, and collective intention. This episode is ultimately an invocation: to practice radical service, to make meaning through personal myth, and to remember that gathering around food and ritual is ancient. Plus, we celebrate the launch of the Lonely Planet Travel Tarot at  Maha Rose in Brooklyn, New York on February 20 with special guest Lindsay Mack—a gathering aligned with this rare cosmic turning point.   Mentorship & Sessions Cosmic Cousins!  I have openings for one-on-one mentorships for those seeking ongoing guidance and support on their personal or astrological journey. As well as openings for Deep Dive Astrology Readings and Tarot Soul Journey sessions. These are available online, so you can join from anywhere in the world.   Cosmic Cousins Links Newsletter 6-Month Online Fools Tarot Journey Mentorship Deep Dive Astrology Readings Tarot Soul Journey  Cosmic Cousins Substack & Memberships Intro & Outro Music by:  Felix III

More than 3500 athletes from 93 countries will be competing for 195 medals at the Milan-Cortina Games. Three countries will be making their Winter Olympic debuts at the 2026 Games, the African nations of Benin and Guinea Bissau along with the United Arab Emirates. But with the established winter sport nations such as Norway, the United States of America, Canada and Germany looking to dominate the medal table once again, how hard is it for new countries to compete on the world stage?Eight African nations will be represented this time with Eritrea, Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa along with the two debutants taking part. South Africa is sending its largest ever team with five athletes, but over six decades since an African nation made its Winter Olympics debut, the continent's first medal remains elusive.Matt Smith only took up the sport three years ago and is now going to be South Africa's sole cross-country skier in the upcoming games. He tells Lee James why he hopes his inclusion can inspire generations to come, and why he's been nicknamed the 'Snowbok'. Simidele Adeagbo became the first Nigerian to compete at the Winter Olympics in 2018 and was the first black female Olympian in the sport of Skeleton. She says with a more than a billion people on the African continent it's important its athletes are proportionately represented when it comes to the Winter Olympics.Every Monday to Friday, More than the Score tells stories beyond the scoreline from all over the world of sport.

1. U.S. Government & Political Context The podcast opens with a brief discussion of the government shutdown that ended quickly, and is evidence of political posturing rather than substantive conflict. The transition sets the stage for broader national security concerns rather than domestic legislative issues. 2. Emergence of the Polisario Front as a National Security Threat The Polisario Front, a separatist group in Western Sahara founded in 1973, is presented as an underrecognized but growing terrorist threat. Iran is funding, training, and supplying the group, attempting to turn it into a West African proxy similar to the Houthis. Alleged activities include: Collaboration with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollah Use of drones, weapons transfers, and regional destabilization Labeling the group as a terrorist organization is essential, this represents a dangerous blind spot in U.S. counterterrorism policy. 3. Accusation of Institutional Caution and “Deep State” Resistance State Department officials are portrayed as intentionally evasive during Senate testimony. The analysis claims this reluctance stems from: Ongoing diplomatic efforts in Africa Desire to avoid disrupting negotiations involving Morocco and Algeria 4. Iran at a “Tipping Point” Iran has become internally fragile, facing: Widespread protests Mass casualties allegedly ranging from 10,000–40,000 protesters The Iranian regime’s actions (e.g., drones near U.S. naval assets, attempted tanker seizures) are interpreted as provocations meant to rally domestic support and distract from internal collapse.: Negotiations with Iran are a delaying tactic The U.S. should support Iranian protesters directly, including by providing weapons Regime change is framed as: Preferable if carried out by Iranians themselves Potentially the largest positive national security shift since the Cold War if successful. 5. Global Domino Effect Narrative Iran is grouped with Venezuela and Cuba as regimes allegedly near collapse. Simultaneous democratic transitions in all three would represent a historic geopolitical realignment in favor of U.S. interests. 6. Netflix–Warner Bros. Merger & National Security Concerns The proposed $83 billion Netflix–Warner Bros. merger is criticized on two main grounds: Cultural and ideological influence The entertainment industry is portrayed as overwhelmingly left‑leaning and hostile to conservative or pro‑American perspectives. Concern that increased market power could amplify ideological “propaganda.” Foreign influence Alarm over foreign (especially Middle Eastern and Chinese) capital shaping American entertainment content. Content has been altered or censored to appease foreign governments. The merger is not merely an antitrust issue but as a matter of national sovereignty and cultural security.
