Esmeralda Colabone has dedicated herself to Arab dance and culture since 1999. From 2002 to 2014 she worked with Belly Dance Brazil and Lebanon's famed La Maison de L'Artiste, becoming the agency's youngest dancer at 19 and spending 12 years performing across the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Syria, and Lebanon. She was the first Brazilian to tour the Maghreb and held one of Tunisia's longest foreign dance contracts—experiences that shaped her both artistically and personally. After her “Enta Omri” video went viral in 2015, her influence spread worldwide. She helped popularize Lebanese style globally through her 2014 workshop and even co-created the first belly dance shoes with Capézio Brazil. A soloist, teacher, choreographer, judge, writer, and producer known as “The Turban Dancer” and “The Tunisian Treasure,” she has performed in 38 countries, inspiring dancers everywhere with her musicality, presence, and lived connection to the Arab world.In this episode you will learn about:- The painful gap between YouTube criticism and the power of her live performances.- Feeling “outdated” in an industry racing with new trends and younger dancers.- The birth of the Silver Tour and her decision to call it “one last time.”- The hidden reason behind her tribute performances—and how they helped her survive emotionally.- Feeling more like a displaced performer rather than a true teacher.Show Notes to this episode:Find Esmeralda Colabone on Instagram, FB, website and Youtube.Previousinterview with Esmeralda:Ep 151.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 137-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,310 on turnover of $7.7-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan ended slightly higher Monday after profit-taking eroded most of the initial gains amid lingering concerns over stretched artificial intelligence stocks at home and abroad. Analysts say the market was initially led by the electronics sector as investors took cues from a rebound enjoyed by tech stocks on the U.S. markets on Friday. But this strength was compromised by the end of the session as many investors shifted to the sell side. MOFA names new ambassador to Palau The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has approved the appointment of Andy Chen as Taiwan's new ambassador to Palau. Chen has been the director general of the ministry's Office of Parliamentarian Affairs since February. He will replace sitting ambassador Jessica Lee, who'll be returning to the MOFA headquarters in Taipei. Chen previously (先前) served as Taiwan's representative to Oman and head of Taiwan's office in Vancouver, Brunei, and the Philippines. He received his bachelor's degree in Arabic Language and Culture from National Chengchi University. (AH) Bangladesh's former leader Sheikh Hasina sentenced to death In Bangladesh, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been sentenced to death by a special tribunal (特別法庭 ) that found her guilty of committing crimes against humanity. She was put on trial in absentia and was found guilty of overseeing a crackdown on protesters last July. According to a UN report 1400 people were killed during the demonstrations last year, most by security forces firing live ammunition. Hasina claims she's innocent. Neha Poonia has more. Canada Budget Vote Passes Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney won a vote on his budget in Parliament that could have triggered (觸發) a possible election. Carney's Liberal government does not have enough votes to pass the budget on its own but it passed 170-168 with the support of a Green Party member of Parliament and some New Democrat abstentions. The Liberals don't have a majority of seats in the House of Commons and must rely on an opposition party to pass legislation. The budget vote is considered a vote of confidence in the minority Liberal government. Carney's Liberal Party scored a stunning comeback victory in an election last April in a vote widely seen as a rebuke of U.S. President Donald Trump. But the Liberals fell just short of winning an outright majority in Parliament. British Royal Mint Issues Freddie Mercury Coin Design Britain's Royal Mint is celebrating Freddie Mercury with a new coin design. The coin marks 40 years since his iconic Live Aid performance. It features an image of the Queen front man midperformance, with a musical stave (五線譜 ) representing his vocal range. Mercury's sister struck the first coin at the Royal Mint in Wales last week. She said the coin captures his passion and joy. The coins go on sale Tuesday. Mercury died at age 45 in 1991, just one day after he publicly (公開地) announced he was HIV positive. That was the I.C.R.T.

Zanzibar, en fantastisk ö bara en liten bit utanför Afrikas östkust. Inte många kan motstå lockelsen hos denna ö. Visste du att Freddie Mercury föddes på Zanzibar år 1946?Sultanerna av Oman var i nära 200 år härskare på Zanzibar, men de förlorade makten genom det Anglo-Zanzibariska kriget år 1896 – då britterna lade sin näsa i blöt. Det här är troligen världens allra kortaste krig. Kriget varade i bara 38 minuter. Konflikten var till stor del ett sjöslag och ett bombardemang. Idag tillhör den fantastiska ön Zanzibar Tanzania.

The final line-up for T20 World Cup is set with Nepal, Oman and UAE claiming the last three spots, though Nepal and UAE went on to struggle in League 2 action.

On this episode, we highlight a once in a lifetime experience for host Chris and guest co host Steve Kirkham who both recently returned from an epic trip to Hasik, which is located in Oman. After an epic 30 odd hours of travel, the boys arrived in a whole new world of landscape, culture and wildlife to have an opportunity to catch the rarest Permit in the world, Trachinotus Africanus. Hosted by the legendary Clare Carter (owner of Arabian Sport Fishing) and head guide Wesley Rapson, Chris and Steve were treated to a truly "excellent adventure". On this show, we discuss the travels, Omani culture and the great setup that Arabian Sport Fishing offer... We also talk about a new and emerging way to fish for Africanus Permit that Wes and Clare from ASF are pioneering. There is very little information about this way of fishing for them, so we hope enjoy the show and perhaps get a new way of looking at one of the coveted "Big 4" permit species. Hear us talk about crazy number of Permit and how targeting and feeding tailing fish with crustacean patterns is not only the latest way to fish for them, but the numbers suggest its a way way more effective way to fish for them. If you are in pursuit of the big 4 permit before you die and catching them in a very satisfying way that is synonymous with all other Permit fishing... then this episode is a must.    You can find Arabian Sport Fishing here -  https://www.arabiansportfishing.com/   This show is presented by Power Pole, Beast Brushes, Kettafly, Nervous Water and Flats Craft

Monsoon Voyagers follows the voyage of a single dhow (sailing vessel), the Crooked, along with its captain and crew, from Kuwait to port cities around the Persian Gulf and Western Indian Ocean, from 1924 to 1925. Through his account of the voyage, Fahad Ahmad Bishara unpacks a much broader history of circulation and exchange across the Arabian Sea in the time of empire. From their offices in India, Arabia, and East Africa, Gulf merchants utilized the technologies of colonial capitalism — banks, steamships, railroads, telegraphs, and more — to transform their own regional bazaar economy. In the process, they remade the Gulf itself. Drawing on the Crooked's first-person logbooks, along with letters, notes, and business accounts from a range of port cities, Monsoon Voyagers narrates the still-untold connected histories of the Gulf and Indian Ocean. The Gulf's past, it suggests, played out across the sea as much as it did the land. Monsoon Voyagers doesn't just tell a vivid, imaginative narrative—it teaches. Each port-of-call chapter can work as a stand-alone module. And the brief “Inscription” interludes double as turn-key primary-source labs—perfect for document analysis, quick mapping, and mini-quant work with weights, measures, and credit instruments. It invites undergraduates into a connected oceanic world and the big questions of world history, while graduate students get a method—how to read vernacular archives across scales and languages to design their own transregional, archive-driven projects. A quick heads-up: Traditional local musical interludes (see below for credits and links) will punctuate our voyage as chapter markers you can use to pause and reflect—as we sail from Kuwait to the Shatt al-Arab, then out across the Gulf to Oman, Karachi, Gujarat, Bombay, and the Malabar coast.

Nampol-woordvoerder adjunk-kommissaris Kauna Shikwambi waarsku Namibiërs om waaksaam te wees teen bedrieglike werksaanbiedinge, ook internasionaal, omdat dit toenemend as 'n dekmantel vir mensehandel gebruik word. In 'n onderhoud met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het sy die publiek versoek om alle werksgeleenthede deur amptelike kanale te verifieer en enige verdagte aktiwiteite onmiddellik aan te meld.

In the 80's, 90's and 00's, the Greater Lansing area was abuzz with a ton of Blues music. In addition to the incredible local talent on hand, a small handful of people were responsible for doing a great deal of work, attracting out of town Blues musicians to play. Harry Oman traveled to the metro Detroit area, formed some partnerships, and brought some of the biggest names in Detroit's Blues scene to play at LeRoy's in Lansing's south end. A chance meeting with Eddie Kirkland led to a long lasting relationship that lasted until Kirkland's death in 2011. If you like great Blues history, complete with solid gold stories, this episode is a can't miss. Huge thanks to Harry for taking time to help us preserve these stories, too! _________________________Facebook: Time SignaturesYouTube: Time SignaturesFacebook: Capital Area Blues SocietyWebsite: Capital Area Blues SocietyFriends of Time Signatures _______Website: University of Mississippi Libraries Blues ArchiveWebsite: Killer Blues Headstone ProjectWebsite: Blues Society Radio NetworkWebsite: Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation

Wir sprechen mit dem selbsternannten „Tausendsaša“ Stanišic über seinen neuen Band voller Geschichten und Reden gegen die Härten des Lebens. „Mein Unglück beginnt damit, dass der Stromkreis als Rechteck abgebildet ist“ heißt das vergnügliche Buch, das Trost und Spaß für graue Tage liefert. Die Booker-preisgekrönte Schrifstellerin Jokha Alharthi aus Oman hat uns ein Interview über ihren Roman „Herrinnen des Mondes“ gegeben, wir lernen die Künstler-Pionierin Hannah Höch kennen, wie Miku Sophie Kühmel sie in ihrem neuen Roman „Hannah“ portraitiert, und Tocotronic-Bassist und Podcaster Jan Müller bekommt eine passgenaue Buchbehandlung.

Hoy viajamos con Enrique Dominguez Uceta hasta un territorio singular del Sultanato de Oman: la peninsula de Musandam, un enclave aislado del resto del pais, situado en el extremo sureste de la peninsula arabiga. Un territorio del Sultanato de Oman que no tiene frontera con el resto del pais, esta aislado en el sureste de la peninsula de Arabia, y se conoce como la peninsula de Musandam, explica el colaborador en Gente viajera, el programa de viajes de Onda Cero que se emite sabados y domingos de 12:00 a 14:00 h, presentado por Carles Lamelo.Este saliente rocoso genera el Estrecho de Ormuz, paso maritimo por el que circula buena parte del petroleo mundial. Por alli pasa al menos el 20 % del petroleo comercializado en todo el mundo y el 35 % de los envios de petroleo, recuerda Dominguez Uceta. Sin embargo, pese a su relevancia geoestrategica, el lugar transmite calma y serenidad: Quiza sea uno de los lugares mas bellos y apacibles en los que he estado.

As recently as 1928, a vast swathe of Asia—India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, Bhutan, Yemen, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait—were bound together under a single imperial banner, an entity known officially as the “Indian Empire,” or more simply as the British Raj. And then, in just fifty years, the Indian Empire shattered. Five partitions tore it apart, carving out new nations, redrawing maps, and leaving behind a legacy of war, exile and division.A new book the author Sam Dalrymple, Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia, presents the unknown back story of how the Indian Empire was unmade. Sam is a historian and award-winning filmmaker who grew up in Delhi. He graduated from Oxford University as a Persian and Sanskrit scholar. In 2018, he co-founded Project Dastaan, a peace-building initiative that reconnects refugees displaced by the 1947 Partition of India. His debut film, Child of Empire, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2022, and he runs the history Substack @ travelsofsamwise.To talk more about his new book, Sam joins Milan on the podcast this week. They discuss Sam's personal journey with the Partition of the subcontinent, the forgotten separation of Burma from the Indian Empire, and Delhi's dismissiveness of its Gulf outposts. Plus, the two talk about the creation of Pakistan, the twin genocides of 1971, and the special resonance of the princely state of Junagadh in modern-day Gujarat.Episode notes:1.

Today's episode with Mark Evans is a bit backward from our other episodes. Normally we talk about a trip that has already happened. Well, this one hasn't happened yet and is about to kick off.  Mark Evans brings a vast adventure pedigree, from crossing Greenland, a year in Svalbard, teaching in Africa, and retracing famous routes overland through Africa.  His latest exploration is a second attempt at paddling the coastline of Oman, a country not known for kayaking but surprisingly rugged by land and rich in water. The trip combines expedition paddling with science and education: eDNA sampling, hydrophone recordings, daily podcast updates, VR 360° imagery and classroom outreach. Mark explains support logistics and the coastal landscapes and challenges he expects to face. Listeners can follow the journey and access podcasts, live tracking and resources at oman3165.com and via the Oman 3165 podcast feed.
