Sahara Jones, Vice President of Affordable Compliance and Management at the Albanese Organization, joins middle schooler Noah to talk about the tough decisions she's had to make over the years, why mistakes can be lessons in disguise, and how a moment from her teenage years helped shape her career path. She also shares her love of books and what she might be doing if she weren't working in housing.

The conversation covers the historical emergence of Algeria as a political and territorial unit, starting in the Ottoman period in the 16th century. Key pivotal moments in Algerian history are highlighted, including French colonialism beginning in 1830, which led to a settler colonial project, the rise of the modern mass nationalist movement in the interwar period, the War of National Liberation (1954–1962), and the decade of violence in the 1990s. The latter half of the conversation focuses on the "Worlds of Islam," emphasizing a polycentric history with no single center. A historian, professor at the University of Oxford, and author of books "A History of Algeria" and "The Worlds of Islam: A Global History", James McDougall details the diverse "technologies" of Islam's spread, including its compelling initial mission, the appeal of social mobility for non-Arabs, trade networks, and the influence of Sufism. He also discusses the historical roots of Islamophobia, which is traced to the 19th-century colonial moment. He discusses why he was drawn to studying Algeria, a country he notes is often ignored in Middle East studies and is known as "the land of a million martyrs" for its iconic history of resistance to colonialism.  0:00 Introduction2:08 Intellectual Curiosity and Addressing Poor Understanding of the Region7:37 When Did Algeria Begin to Exist?

En Afrique, à quelques exceptions près, les réactions sont très prudentes après l'enlèvement, samedi 3 janvier par les Américains, du président du Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro. Pourquoi cette retenue ? Paul-Simon Handy est directeur Afrique de l'Est et Union africaine à l'Institut d'études de sécurité (l'ISS). Pour lui, beaucoup d'États africains basent leurs calculs sur la puissance comparée de la Chine et des États-Unis et ils en tirent des conséquences très pratiques. Il s'en explique au micro de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Paul-Simon Handy, chez les pays africains, à part l'Afrique du Sud et peut-être le Ghana, les réactions à l'opération militaire américaine sont très timides. Est-ce que cela vous surprend ? Paul-Simon Handy : On n'est pas vraiment surpris parce que l'on sait que les réactions du président américain peuvent être très revanchardes. Oui, on ne veut pas se fâcher avec Donald Trump ? En effet, derrière la prudence de plusieurs pays, il y a des calculs de diplomatie prudente, de peur de subir les foudres du président américain, comme on a déjà pu le constater dans des pays qui comptent parmi les pays les plus importants en Afrique, comme le Nigéria et l'Afrique du Sud. Alors en Afrique du Sud, le président Cyril Ramaphosa a eu des mots forts contre l'agression américaine. Mais au sein de son gouvernement, le parti Alliance démocratique n'est pas d'accord. Est-ce que cela ne le fragilise pas ? Je ne pense pas que l'ANC et le président Ramaphosa soient surpris que l'Alliance démocratique ne les ait pas soutenus dans ce cadre. Pour le président sud-africain, c'était certainement une occasion rêvée de prendre les États-Unis en flagrant délit de violation du droit international. L'Alliance démocratique a toujours voulu être un parti qui pense certainement que critiquer les États-Unis dirigé par le président Trump n'était pas une bonne idée et pourrait, au contraire, accroître encore la croisade du président Trump contre l'Afrique du Sud. Et qu'en pense l'opinion sud-africaine ? Est-ce qu'elle soutient l'ANC contre ce raid américain ou est-ce qu'elle craint des représailles commerciales des États-Unis ? Non, l'opinion publique sud-africaine est très en soutien de l'ANC. L'Afrique du Sud se vit comme un pays leader en Afrique. Et se voir malmener comme ça par un pays avec lequel elle avait des relations plutôt bonnes... Non. l'opinion publique, la presse, est plutôt favorable à l'approche de l'ANC, qui a toujours été relativement ferme. Paul-Simon Handy, comment expliquez-vous le silence de l'Algérie quand on connaît la proximité qui existait entre le président Maduro et le président Abdelmadjid Tebboune ? Alors, je pense que l'Algérie, comme certains autres États, fait preuve de prudence stratégique. L'Algérie vient de terminer un mandat de deux ans au Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies sur un échec diplomatique, il faut le dire. Car le vote de la résolution 2797, dont le porteur de crayon étaient quand même les États-Unis, constituaient une sorte d'échec diplomatique pour l'Algérie. Sur le Sahara occidental. Sur le Sahara occidental. Donc, je pense que l'Algérie est encore en train de digérer cet échec diplomatique et ne voudrait pas en rajouter en se mettant en porte-à-faux avec un partenaire américain qui est devenu extrêmement imprévisible. Le deuxième aspect, à mon avis, c'est que la non-réaction de l'Algérie officielle démontre aussi que les alliances de blocs sont terminées dans le monde. Les amitiés avec des pays comme la Chine, la Russie ne protègent pas d'une agression militaire. Ce qui veut dire que, aujourd'hui, l'Algérie sait qu'elle peut très bien faire l'objet d'une attaque et que aucun autre État ne viendra la soutenir, et certainement pas les autres grands États comme la Chine, la Russie, ni même l'Iran. Alors justement en Iran l'année dernière, au Venezuela cette année, est ce que ces opérations militaires montrent la supériorité stratégique des Américains sur la Chine, y compris en Afrique ? Très certainement oui. Supériorité militaire... On voit que les États-Unis d'Amérique ont subi la concurrence de pays comme la Chine, la Russie, tous les pays qu'on dénomme souvent comme « puissance montante ». Ces pays sont des puissances montantes, économiques, diplomatiques, mais n'ont pas encore atteint la puissance militaire du leader américain. Il y a une vraie domination militaire américaine que la Chine est en train d'essayer de rattraper, mais elle en est encore loin. Autres pays très discrets depuis samedi dernier, les trois pays de l'AES, l'Alliance des États du Sahel. Pourquoi ne sont-ils pas aux côtés de la Russie pour dénoncer, je cite l'ambassadeur de Moscou à New York, « le retour à l'ère de la domination américaine par la force et l'illégalité » ? Alors si on ne peut déjà pas défendre sa souveraineté par ses propres moyens, ses propres forces de défense et de sécurité, le meilleur antidote est certainement la légitimité transmise par les urnes. Les pays de l'AES n'ont pas cette légitimité populaire. Ces pays sont bien conscients de la faiblesse de leur position et de l'absence de réaction probable d'alliés. Et donc leur silence, pour moi, est évocateur d'une vraie prise de conscience de ce que leur position est : très délicate. Le projet qu'ils veulent mener n'est pas partagé par la communauté internationale.   À lire aussiLes décisions des autorités vénézuéliennes seront «dictées» par les États-Unis affirme la Maison Blanche À lire aussiLe Mexique défend sa souveraineté face aux menaces d'intervention des États-Unis

C'est le dernier épisode d'un long feuilleton juridico-commercial vieux de plus d'une décennie. Le Parlement européen a adopté de justesse, le 26 novembre, un nouvel accord commercial sur la pêche et l'agriculture entre l'UE et le Maroc. Après l'annulation du précédent texte datant de 2019, les indépendantistes du Front Polisario demandaient que les produits issus du Sahara occidental en soient exclus, mais ce ne sera finalement pas le cas. De notre correspondant à Casablanca, La nouvelle version de l'accord agricole Rabat-Bruxelles comprend bien les produits du Sahara occidental. Des tomates, essentiellement, et des melons qui poussent, hors sol, sous d'immenses serres. Ils continueront de bénéficier d'une réduction des droits de douane. « Au final, le Maroc demeure le principal bénéficiaire puisqu'il obtient une reconnaissance pratique de la continuité des préférences accordées à ses exportations, y compris celles provenant des provinces du Sud », détaille Zaher Badr Al Azrak, professeur de droit des affaires à l'université Hassan II de Casablanca. « Provinces du Sud », c'est l'expression utilisée au Maroc pour désigner ces territoires revendiqués par le Front Polisario. Le nouveau texte amendé par la Commission européenne propose une formulation juridique inédite, pour respecter l'arrêt de la Cour de justice de l'UE. « Le changement ne porte pas sur la substance même de l'accord commercial, mais plutôt sur sa mise en œuvre. Les Européens ont introduit des mécanismes pratiques et techniques », poursuit-il. Une concurrence déloyale ? À l'exigence de traçabilité de la Cour, Bruxelles répond par un étiquetage spécifique, mentionnant simplement les deux régions de production autour des villes de Dakhla et de Laâyoune. Le Front Polisario dénonce une disposition illégale. « En fait, il n'y a pas eu de grands changements. L'Union européenne et le Maroc ont repris pratiquement les mêmes dispositions. Ils les ont reconduites dans ce traité. Je pense que le Maroc a enregistré une victoire par rapport à ses détracteurs », souligne l'analyste économique et politique marocain, Driss Aïssaoui. Les échanges agricoles ne cessent de progresser entre le Maroc et l'UE. L'année dernière, ils ont atteint plus de 7 milliards d'euros. Ainsi, tout en annulant l'accord commercial en 2024, la Cour de justice de l'UE l'avait maintenu pour une durée transitoire de 12 mois. « L'Union européenne est un partenaire fort et indispensable, mais qui fonctionne selon des équilibres internes complexes, analyse Zaher Badr Al Azrak. C'est précisément pour cela que la diversification des partenariats en Afrique, en Asie ou en Amérique latine n'est plus une option secondaire, mais une nécessité stratégique pour le royaume. » Le texte tout juste adopté compte encore des ennemis : des syndicats agricoles français et espagnols qui dénoncent une concurrence déloyale. Le Front Polisario aussi, qui prévoit de saisir à nouveau la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne d'ici la fin du mois de décembre.

« La nouvelle loi algérienne qui criminalise la colonisation française a plus une portée symbolique qu'un impact juridique ou financier », affirme l'historien français Benjamin Stora. Ce mercredi, à Alger, les députés algériens ont voté à l'unanimité une loi réclamant « des excuses officielles » de la part de la France. Ils ont même précisé que ces excuses étaient le préalable à toute réconciliation mémorielle. Benjamin Stora, qui co-préside une commission mixte d'historiens français et algériens, et qui vient de publier avec Thomas Snégaroff France / Algérie - Anatomie d'une déchirure aux éditions Les Arènes, répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier.  RFI : Sur le plan politique, l'Algérie demande aujourd'hui à la France des excuses officielles. Est-ce que vous voyez Emmanuel Macron présenter des excuses ? Benjamin Stora : Maintenant non. La question des excuses devait être l'aboutissement d'un travail mémoriel qui a commencé, fondamentalement, depuis quelques années, notamment à partir de mon rapport de 2021. Il s'agissait de la mise en œuvre d'un chantier mémoriel qui visait précisément, pourquoi pas, à aboutir à des excuses. Mais ce chantier mémoriel s'est brusquement interrompu depuis maintenant presque deux ans. Donc la question des excuses devait être un aboutissement à, disons, une connaissance beaucoup plus grande de ce qui s'était passé dans toute cette histoire qui a duré 132 ans. Or, aujourd'hui, je vois mal la question des excuses se poser à nouveau du côté français. Notamment avec la montée de l'extrême droite française. Non ? Tout à fait. C'est-à-dire que l'extrême droite ne reconnaît absolument pas les exactions commises, les massacres, etc. Fondamentalement par anti-gaullisme, d'ailleurs. Il y a dans cette montée en puissance de l'extrême droite française la volonté de désigner l'Algérie comme un pays avec lequel on ne peut décidément pas s'entendre. Sur le plan juridique, la nouvelle loi algérienne affirme que les crimes de la colonisation sont imprescriptibles. Est-ce que ce n'est pas contradictoire avec les accords d'Évian de 1962 ? Oui, il y a effectivement un problème. Ces accords ont été signés par les deux parties. La partie française, bien sûr, mais aussi par la partie algérienne. Les accords d'Évian stipulaient de manière très claire qu'aucune poursuite pénale ne devait être engagée contre les exactions commises pendant la guerre d'Algérie. Alors maintenant, bien entendu, le texte adopté par les Algériens est bien plus une volonté de démonstration symbolique et politique plutôt qu'une concrétisation sur le plan juridique. Le texte voté mercredi 24 décembre ? Bien sûr. Le texte qui a été voté est, pour moi, une mise en œuvre d'un rapport de force symbolique, plutôt qu'une stricte application sur le plan juridique. Alors, vous dites que ce nouveau texte est en grande partie symbolique, mais sur le plan financier, les députés algériens demandent « une indemnisation complète et équitable » pour tous les dommages commis par la France. Est-ce qu'un tribunal international pourrait se déclarer compétent ? Pas à ma connaissance. Il s'agit là d'une revendication qui n'avait jamais été exprimée auparavant par les Algériens. La question de la réparation financière, c'est une nouveauté qui est apparue dans ce texte. C'est effectivement une revendication, une demande, dont on se demande quel peut être le « chiffrage » entre guillemets. Encore une fois, je pense qu'il s'agit essentiellement d'une mesure à caractère politique et symbolique. Sur le plan militaire, l'Algérie demande les cartes précises des essais nucléaires réalisés par la France au Sahara dans les années 60, afin de pouvoir décontaminer ces territoires. Est-ce que la France peut faire un geste dans ce sens ? Des experts français, qui travaillent sur la question des essais nucléaires, ont demandé plusieurs fois à se rendre sur place. Ils demandent qu'une commission internationale puisse vérifier, et se rendre compte sur place, des effets néfastes de ces essais nucléaires sur les populations civiles. Or, à ma connaissance, pour l'instant, il n'y a pas eu de délégation d'experts internationaux qui ont pu se rendre dans le désert saharien pour voir les effets des contamination sur les populations civiles. Dans la nouvelle loi algérienne, il est dit que le préalable à toute réconciliation mémorielle sont des excuses officielles de la France. Peut-on dire que, si la France ne s'excuse pas, la commission mixte franco-algérienne que vous présidez avec votre homologue algérien, Mohamed Lahcen Zeghidi, va disparaître ? Je ne sais pas. Je ne sais pas quel sera l'avenir de cette commission. Ce que je peux dire, c'est que la collaboration réelle et le partage du savoir et des connaissances ne pourront pas s'interrompre. Et c'est pour moi quelque chose d'essentiel, parce que les jeunes générations d'aujourd'hui, en France et en Algérie, ont une soif de connaissance et de savoir très grande sur cette histoire. Donc la mise en partage, la mise en circulation des savoirs et des connaissances ne pourra pas s'interrompre. Enfin, c'est tout du mins ce que j'espère pour l'avenir : que les choses pourront se poursuivre à ce niveau-là. Quelle est la dernière fois que vous avez vu votre homologue Mohamed Lahcen Zeghidi ? Quelle est la dernière fois que votre commission mixte s'est réunie ? Elle s'est réunie la dernière fois en mai 2024. Deux mois avant la reconnaissance de la marocanité du Sahara par la France ? Tout à fait.   À lire aussiBenjamin Stora: «Il faut commencer à procéder à des restitutions des archives algériennes»

Nous mettons le cap au nord-ouest, au Maroc, pour parler social et politique. La jeunesse marocaine a donné de la voix en cette année 2025 qui s'achève. Dans les rues du Royaume, un mouvement Génération Z, comme il y en a eu à Madagascar, au Népal ou en Indonésie... En seconde partie, une zone peu fréquentée de notre planète, le désert, la chaleur, les immensités, nous serons dans le sud du Sahara, dans le nord du Tchad, face à des trésors, les peintures rupestres... GenZ 212 au Maroc : «Ils ont semé la peur en nous» Le Maroc a connu en 2025 une nouvelle vague de protestation populaire. Protestation portée par la Gen Z  212. 212 pour l'indicatif téléphonique du Maroc. La mobilisation 2025 s'inscrit après celle du 20 février en 2011, et le mouvement populaire du Rif en 2016-2017.  Ces jeunes de 18 à 25 ans très connectés, inspirés par les manifestations au Népal, à Madagascar ou en Indonésie, ont clamé leur refus de la corruption, et exiger une amélioration des services publics, comme la santé et l'éducation. Sans affiliation politique ou syndicale, ils ont fini par exiger la démission du gouvernement, mais sans succès. Aujourd'hui, ils dénoncent la répression qui s'est abattue sur eux. 1 473 jeunes sont toujours en prison, dont 330 mineurs selon les chiffres officiels. Un Grand reportage de François Hume-Ferkatadji qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Tchad : les derniers secrets du Sahara Le sud du Sahara : il abrite l'un des plus importants potentiels archéologiques d'Afrique. Dans le massif de l'Ennedi tout au nord du Tchad. Le paysage est époustouflant : cathédrales rocheuses, steppes de cailloutis et dunes... Mais au-dessous des cavités, foisonnent des peintures rupestres. Elles racontent l'histoire d'un Sahara Vert et humide, doté d'une belle population animale. C'était il y a entre 5 et 10 000 ans avant notre ère. L'intérêt pour cette époque est ravivé par l'actuel changement climatique et les questions sur la capacité de l'homme à s'adapter. L'ONG African Parks et le gouvernement tchadien tentent de préserver et décrypter ce patrimoine. Un Grand reportage de Carol Valade qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Réalisation : Pauline Leduc. Avec la participation de Joris Bolomey et le soutien logistique d'African Parks.

Please note this episode was originally produced last year and has been thoughtfully recreated this year with updated storytelling and sound design. Grab your imaginary passports and hop aboard the Culture Train, because today we are traveling to the Sahara Desert in Morocco, located in North Africa, where golden sand dunes stretch as far as the eye can see.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpeter performer and recording artist Paul Litteral, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Paul Litteral trumpet interview"   Find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here: https://bobreeves.com/blog/paul-litteral-trumpet-interview-the-other-side-of-the-bell-147   About Paul Litteral: Hollywood Paul Litteral began to build his career playing in Broadway hits such as The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, A Chorus Line and Chess. In 1978, Paul and saxophonist Arno Hecht founded the well-known group called the Uptown Horns. As their visibility increased, the band was recruited for rock and roll gigs and played many of New York's most famous clubs. Paul and the Uptown Horns went on their first rock and roll tour with the J. Geils Band in 1981 and that led to many other opportunities including engagements with The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, Tom Waits, Joe Cocker, James Brown, Pat Benatar, and Ray Charles. The band lists recording credits on over 150 albums including James Brown's Grammy Award winning "Living in America" and tracks for Joe Cocker, Albert Collins, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Palmer, Lou Reed and REM. In addition to continuing to play music, he began writing and found critical success with Hoboken to Hollywood, which earned him the 2011 Ovation Award for Musical Direction. Paul was also awarded Best Musical Direction by Stage Scene LA for Louis & Keely: Live' at the Sahara, which had a record run, playing to sold out audiences at the Geffen Playhouse. "Hollywood" Paul earned his nickname back in the 1980's due to his prodigious knowledge of film lore. Though his extensive contributions to the LA music scene have also helped add to that fabulous moniker. Paul's fame is within the world of Rock and Roll. On his latest album, "The Litteral Truth," he brings us a collection of songs that inspired his personal musical development. The Brecker Brothers, Edgar Winter and Steely Dan are a few of the artists we cover on the record, and revisiting these great cuts and reinterpreting them was a joyous excursion for all involved. Paul is a fun and talented man, and his records are spreading the joy of knowing him. -Bill Bodine   Episode Links: Outrageous 8 Records Find the albums here: The Litteral Truth Legacy Instagram (@paullitteralmusic) YouTube channel The Other Side of the Bell Episode #92 - Paul Litteral (first appearance)   Bob Reeves Brass Upcoming Events and Appearances: Trumpet Festival of the Southeast, Jan. 17, 2026, Kennesaw State University, Georgia Texas Music Educators Association Conference, Feb. 11-14 2026, San Antonio, Texas Dylan Music, Feb. 26-28, Woodbridge, New Jersey   Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Cover Photo Credit - Paul Litteral Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg

https://www.theforbiddenknowledgenetwork.com Is Atlantis just a myth from Plato's imagination—or the suppressed memory of a real civilization wiped from history? For centuries, researchers, explorers, and whistleblowers have pointed to evidence of an advanced society that vanished after a global cataclysm. From sunken ruins near the Bahamas to the mysterious Richat Structure in the Sahara, this episode explores the most compelling clues that Atlantis was real—and intentionally buried. Was it destroyed by natural disaster… or by design? And who benefits from keeping the truth hidden?

Go from sexual shame to liberation with Mia's Sex Witch Course for 10% Off https://miamagik.mykajabi.com/sexwitch use code SAHARA   In this episode, I'm sitting down with one of my besties, Mia Magik, for what became the hottest, most raw conversation we've ever had on this podcast.   We didn't plan for this conversation to go where it went. But when you put two witches in a room who are done with surface-level spirituality, this is what happens.   We start with the witch wound—why so many of us feel like outcasts, why we're terrified of our own power, and how the systematic elimination of indigenous healers, wise women, and medicine keepers still affects us today. This isn't just history. It's in our DNA.   Then we follow the serpent path. The very symbol that's been vilified—the snake, the feminine, the blood, the earth—and how reclaiming it is the key to unlocking our full power.   And then... we get into it. Sacred sexuality. Sex as ritual. Sex as healing. Sex as alchemy.   We explore:

Le sud du Sahara : il abrite l'un des plus importants potentiels archéologiques d'Afrique. Dans le massif de l'Ennedi tout au nord du Tchad. Le paysage est époustouflant : cathédrales rocheuses, steppes de cailloutis et dunes... Mais au-dessous des cavités, foisonnent des peintures rupestres. Elles racontent l'histoire d'un Sahara Vert et humide, doté d'une belle population animale. C'était il y a entre 5 et 10 000 ans avant notre ère. L'intérêt pour cette époque est ravivé par l'actuel changement climatique et les questions sur la capacité de l'homme à s'adapter. L'ONG African Parks et le gouvernement tchadien tentent de préserver et décrypter ce patrimoine. «Tchad : les derniers secrets du Sahara», un Grand reportage (au son de la truelle) signé Carol Valade, réalisation : Pauline Leduc. Avec la participation de Joris Bolomey et le soutien logistique d'African Parks.  

Eine Grenzerfahrung erlebt von Johannes Groschupf Der Absturz eines Helikopters, der sich am 31.03.1994 in der algerischen Sahara ereignete und der vierzehn Todesopfer forderte, wird hier von Johannes Groschupf, dem einzigen Überlebenden, erzählt. In einer Sprache von beklemmender Intensität wird dem Hörer eine Innenansicht dieser Grenzerfahrung ermöglicht, die - in ihrem Schmerz wie in ihrem tiefen Glück - außergewöhnlich fesselnd ist. Die Haut des Autors war zu 80 Prozent verbrannt. Das Leben ist ihm noch einmal geschenkt worden. Die NDR-Produktion wurde 1999 mit dem Robert-Geisendörfer-Preis ausgezeichnet und hat als hoffnungsspendende Geschichte, dass das Leben manchmal weitergeht, obwohl wir dies nicht für möglich halten, nichts von ihrer Wirkungskraft eingebüßt. Von Johannes Groschupf Redaktion: Joachim Dicks Produktion: NDR 1998

Catherine (Katie) Ulissey, wife and research partner of geologist Dr. Robert Schoch, found her early years shaped by dance. Conservatory trained, she turned professional at the age of 16, performing with classical ballet and contemporary dance companies, and later transitioning to musical theater, performing on Broadway in a number of productions including the original cast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera". Her early childhood in Saudi Arabia sparked a lifelong fascination with ancient mysteries. Katie and Dr. Schoch met at a conference on the topic in 2007 and married on Easter Island in 2010. Together, they have co-authored works exploring ancient civilizations and their connections to cosmic events. Katie has contributed significantly to her husband's research, including connecting Easter Island's previously undeciphered rongorongo script to global “plasma petroglyphs” first identified by renowned physicist Dr. Anthony Peratt of Los Alamos National Laboratory. This discovery shifted her husband's research toward our Sun as the probable cause of the end of the last ice age. Related to this, she noticed giant Lichtenberg patterns emanating from beneath the Great and Second Pyramids on the Giza Plateau (dendritic patterns would be consistent with plasma ejected during massive solar outbursts). More recently, she has offered an hypothesis regarding the potential “Ancient and Intentional Burial of Ancient Egypt” (in similar fashion to Göbekli Tepe). She holds a B.A. from Emerson College (2002) and stays connected to her dance roots by teaching ballet at Wellesley College. She is the author of a children's book, “Adriana and the Ancient Mysteries: The Great Sphinx”, published in German, Italian, and English (revised edition).Dr. Robert M. Schoch, a full-time faculty member at the College of General Studies at Boston University since 1984, and a recipient of its Peyton Richter Award for interdisciplinary teaching, earned his Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University in 1983. He also holds an M.S. and M.Phil. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale, as well as degrees in Anthropology (B.A.) and Geology (B.S.) from George Washington University. In recognition of his research into ancient civilizations, Dr. Schoch was awarded (in 2014) the title of Honorary Professor of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna, Bulgaria. In 2017, the College of General Studies at Boston University named him Director of its Institute for the Study of the Origins of Civilization (ISOC).In the early 1990s, Dr. Schoch stunned the world with his revolutionary research that recast the date of the Great Sphinx of Egypt to a period thousands of years earlier than its standard attribution. In demonstrating that the leonine monument has been heavily eroded by water despite the fact that its location on the edge of the Sahara has endured hyper-arid climactic conditions for the past 5,000 years, Dr. Schoch revealed to the world that mankind's history is greater and older than previously believed. The subsequently excavated 12,000-year-old megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey confirmed these assertions.Dr. Schoch's more recent research has focused on the cataclysmic events that ended Earth's last ice age, circa 9700 BCE, simultaneously decimating the high civilizations of the time. The overwhelming evidence drawn from varying disciplines, put forth in his book Forgotten Civilization: New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age (2021), points to enormous solar outbursts as the cause.Dr. Schoch has been quoted extensively in the media for his work on ancient cultures and monuments around the globe. His research has been instrumental in spurring renewed attention to the interrelationships between geological and astronomical phenomena, natural catastrophes, and the early history of civilization. He has appeared on numerous radio and television shows and is featured in the Emmy-winning documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx, which first aired on NBC in 1993.The author and coauthor of books both technical and popular, Dr. Schoch's works include Phylogeny Reconstruction in Paleontology (1986), Stratigraphy: Principles and Methods (1989), Voices of the Rocks (1999), Voyages of the Pyramid Builders (2003), Pyramid Quest (2005), The Parapsychology Revolution (2008), Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future (2012), Origins of the Sphinx (2017), and the 2nd edition (revised and expanded) of Forgotten Civilization, subtitled New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age (2021), among others. Dr. Schoch is also the coauthor of an environmental science textbook used in universities across the United States, and he has contributed to numerous magazines, journals, and reviews on geology, ancient civilizations, parapsychology, and other topics. His works have been translated into a number of languages and distributed around the world.Besides his academic and scholarly studies, Dr. Schoch is an active environmental advocate who stresses a pragmatic, hands-on approach. In this connection, he helped found a local community land trust devoted to protecting land from harmful development, serving on its Board of Directors for many years. And despite acknowledging that our Sun is a major driver of climate on the planet, Dr. Schoch takes an active part in “green” politics; for over a decade he served as an elected member of his local city council.In 1993, an extinct mammal genus was named Schochia in honor of Dr. Schoch's paleontological contributions.It was at the instigation of the late John Anthony West (1932—2018) that Dr. Schoch first began studying the age of the Sphinx. The chamber beneath the Sphinx's paw, which Dr. Schoch, working with Dr. Thomas Dobecki, discovered in the early 1990s and which many people believe is an ancient archive or "Hall of Records" remains unexplored.In 2010 (and grateful to the dignitaries who made it possible), Dr. Schoch married former ballet and Broadway dancer Catherine Ulissey in both civil and traditional Rapanui ceremonies on Easter Island.Dr. Schoch's website is www.robertschoch.com.- - - - -Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

Sahara had everything going for it: a big cast led by ultra hot actors Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz, a devoted fan base of author Clive Cussler's novels, and a big budget courtesy of Disney. And then it came out and flopped. But that doesn't mean it's still not fun and it doesn't mean that we can't have real  conversations about history. In fact, the movie gives us the perfect opportunity to talk about artifact recovery and repatriation. Joining me today are Colin Colbourn and Derek Abbey from Project Recover, a nonprofit group dedicated to searching for and locating American MIAs and POWs from conflicts around the world. this is a cool conversation about both the movie and the process of bringing American soldiers home.

Dr. G dismantles the biohacking industry, lab-obsessed wellness culture, and guru worship that's stolen your internal compass. This isn't another podcast about blood markers, cold plunges, or longevity hacks—it's a wake-up call about the spiritual crisis masquerading as chronic illness. The controversial truth? Your chronic disease isn't a diet problem or a supplement deficiency. It's your soul suffocating under a life you weren't meant to live. In this game-changing episode, Dr. G reveals why vibrant health has nothing to do with perfect biomarkers and everything to do with embodied purpose. He exposes the three non-negotiable biological rhythms that—when ignored—create the chronic stress, inflammation, and disconnection driving your unexplained symptoms. But here's what the wellness industry won't tell you: "If you are not letting your soul create every single day, you will feel like you are suffocating. Creation is the very essence of God." After losing his mother at 59—before she could live her retirement dreams in Mexico—Dr. G delivers an urgent message about the cost of postponing your truth. This episode will make you question every health decision you've outsourced to Huberman, Attia, or the latest biohacking trend. Discover why your nervous system is screaming for alignment, not another protocol. In This Episode: • Why health is a subjective spiritual experience—not objective lab numbers or longevity metrics • The soul's blueprint for vitality: creation, deep human connection, and nature's rhythm • How chronic illness is a biological message that you're living out of sync with your purpose • Why the Sahara tribe lives disease-free (and what modern life is destroying in your body) • The internal compass test: how to know if a health expert is feeding you truth or fear • Dr. G's personal story of loss and the urgency of creative expression before it's too late • The "soul-sucking" job connection to autoimmune disease, anxiety, and burnout • Why feeling alone is a biological imperative—not just an emotional experience • The nature prescription: how many days you need outside for every week in the city • How to activate your God-given right to overflowing vitality (and stop letting gurus save you) If you're exhausted from perfect eating, optimal sleep tracking, and endless supplements—but still feel disconnected, anxious, or chronically unwell—this episode reveals the embodied truth your nervous system has been waiting for.

Can we turn the world's deserts green? CrowdScience listener Youcef is captivated by the idea of bringing water back to Earth's driest landscapes. With sea levels rising and huge stretches of land drying out each year, he wonders whether redirecting seawater inland could offer a solution to both problems. Presenter Alex Lathbridge sets out to investigate… starting with a kettle of salty water. Alex speaks with scientists about how deserts form, and how human actions like overgrazing can tip a fragile grassland into a barren landscape. He learns how the brightness of bare sand affects local weather, reducing cloud formation and rainfall. Researcher Yan Li reveals how huge solar and wind farms could darken and roughen the Sahara's surface enough to double its rainfall, potentially kickstarting a self-reinforcing cycle of vegetation and moisture. But what about deserts where clouds already drift overhead? In the Atacama – one of the driest places on Earth – geographer Virginia Carter shows how fog harvesting nets can coax litres of fresh water from the air. Alex also investigates desalination, where professor Chris Sansom is trying to harness solar power to remove the salt from seawater without burning vast amounts of fossil fuels. It's promising, but can it reduce the impact of rising sea levels? And what do you do with all the salt that's left over? Climate scientist Alan Condron proposes an even wilder idea: towing kilometre-sized icebergs from Antarctica to parched nations. His models show it might be possible, but the logistics verge on science fiction. Finally, plant scientist Zinnia Gonzalez Carranza warns that greening deserts isn't just about adding water. Introducing new species, even hardy ones like mesquite, can trigger ecological chaos and harm the very communities who depend on these landscapes.

For years, Cara Cunniff ran ultra-marathons, Ironman races, and even six days across the Sahara desert, and still couldn't see herself as an athlete.In this honest conversation, we explore:• why so many of us feel “not good enough” even when we're doing extraordinary things• the pressure of comparison, to others and our past selves• how identity shifts when injury, ageing or life changes• why movement means far more than performance• what self-belief actually looks like in real lifeThis episode is for anyone who moves, trains, walks, or simply tries, but still struggles to see themselves as capable.It's a reminder that you don't need a medal to be a ‘mover', you just need to appreciate yourself for keeping moving forward.Listen now, and share with someone who needs encouragement today.To find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:⁠The Make Movement Matter Podcast⁠If you enjoy this podcast, please press Follow and Rate and Review.  To support the show and help me to keep making the podcast, please contribute by ⁠Buying Me a Coffee...or Tea! Connect with your host, Wendy, founder of Reclaim Movement, on:⁠Instagram⁠ | ⁠YouTube⁠ | ⁠Website⁠Start to ⁠‘Move more naturally to live better' with Wendy's self-paced 5-Day Introductory Online Course by clicking here.

This episode pulls the curtain back on one of humanity's most divisive mysteries — Atlantis. Lisa and Juliet dissect the six leading theories, from Plato's allegories and Solon's Egyptian sources to the legends of Sardinia, the Gates of Hercules, and the Eye of the Sahara, where 7,000-year-old skeletons defy any link to known civilizations. They challenge the accepted narrative by examining how Helena Blavatsky, William Scott-Elliot, and Rudolf Steiner reimagined Atlantis through their channeled visions — introducing advanced technology, psychic wars, and an “Atlantean race” that never existed outside occult writings. Beneath it all lies a deeper message: our obsession with separation and individualism may be the real fall of Atlantis — the moment we lost unity with each other and the earth's living energy.Black Friday sales on soon… keep your eyes out! — join now at www.cryptidwomenssociety.com〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

At the center of 1970s New York's most iconic clubs—from the celebrity-studded Studio 54 to the premiere lesbian discotheque Sahara—stood a queer Black woman on the turntables: Sharon White. With a sound she describes as "edgy, deep, aggressive, tech, synthy, percussive and lush," White became the first woman resident DJ at the Saint and the only woman to ever play Paradise Garage, breaking barriers in spaces where women were told they didn't belong. Her five-decade career didn't just challenge disco's male-dominated DJ culture; it redefined it, paving the way for future generations of women behind the decks. In this season finale, we explore how one visionary artist carved out space in disco's inner sanctum and what her trailblazing journey reveals about women—especially queer Black women—who shaped the sound and culture of an era from behind the booth. In the Season 2 Finale, hosts Ryan Purcell and Kristie Soares talk with legendary DJ Sharon White. Born in West Babylon, New York, White studied music at the New York School of Music before becoming a radio disc jockey. In 1975, she transitioned to club DJing, finding near-instant success at legendary venues including Studio 54, the Saint, Paradise Garage, Sahara, Limelight, and the Warehouse. She has been credited by several other women DJs, including Lizzz Krizer and Wendy Hunt, for helping them break onto the scene. White is still DJing today, and you can find her mixes on SoundCloud and Mixcloud. Learn more about your ad choices.

We follow the rise of civilization and of powerful empires in West Africa before the slave tade, based upon iron-working and the traffic in gold and salt across the Sahara, followed by the spread of wealth and power southward, towards the gold fields and the tropical forests, and finally the reverberating impacts of the arrival of Portuguese traders on the coast, which paved the way for the rise of the Atlantic slave trade.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 21 novembre 2025.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.Matthias Fekl, avocat et ancien ministre de l'Intérieur.Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Y A-T-IL EN FRANCE UNE GAUCHE DE GOUVERNEMENT ?Le 16 octobre, le choix du Parti socialiste de ne pas censurer Sébastien Lecornu a réinterrogé les alliances au sein du bloc non mélenchoniste. Ce vote a profondément divisé la gauche. Une partie de ce camp, incarnée par les socialistes, a décidé de jouer le jeu du compromis avec l'exécutif, obtenant la promesse d'une suspension de la réforme des retraites et un abandon du 49.3. Une victoire sur les retraites accueillie favorablement par la direction de la CFDT perçue comme un jalon dans le rétablissement de liens, aujourd'hui ténus, avec le mouvement social-réformateur. Pour L'historien Mathieu Fulla, ce choix de la non-censure par le Parti socialiste s'inscrit dans « une mémoire partisane qui associe socialisme et défense de la République ». Les socialistes considèrent qu'il vaut mieux faire des concessions, contre quelques victoires. Une autre partie de la gauche, celle emmenée par La France Insoumise mais composée d'une écrasante majorité des députés écologistes et communistes, n'a pas souhaité épargner le gouvernement et entend voter la censure. Les Insoumis, avec leur héritage de la gauche radicale, estiment que tout compromis est un « piège ».Dimanche dernier, à Pontoise dans le Val-d'Oise, l'ancien Premier ministre Bernard Cazeneuve organisait un rassemblement, présenté comme « inédit », des « différentes composantes de la gauche réformiste », avec un casting qui ne manquait pas de présidentiables, à dix-huit mois de l'échéance. Outre le président du mouvement la Convention, fondé en 2022 après sa rupture avec le Parti socialiste, on comptait l'ancien président de la République François Hollande, la présidente PS de la région Occitanie, Carole Delga, et le député européen et coprésident de Place publique, Raphaël Glucksmann. Une étude publiée par l'IFOP pour L'Opinion et Sud Radio, le 30 septembre, sur le premier tour de l'élection présidentielle de 2027 donne pour la première fois, une longueur d'avance à Raphaël Glucksmann par rapport à Jean-Luc Mélenchon et, dans certains scénarios, place l'eurodéputé au second tour du scrutin face à l'extrême droite. Les participants de ce rassemblement de la gauche réformiste partagent un même refus obstiné de l'alliance avec La France Insoumise. Ici, la culture du compromis continue de tenir lieu de boussole, en opposition à ce qu'ils nomment la « gauche de l'outrance ».Quoiqu'invité au rassemblement de Pontoise, le premier secrétaire du PS a privilégié, la veille, une autre rencontre. Celle qui réunissait à Trappes dans les Yvelines la gauche dite « unitaire », qui prépare l'organisation d'une primaire afin de désigner un candidat commun en 2027 : PS, Écologistes, Génération.s, L'Après, parti de Clémentine Autain, et Debout, de François Ruffin, autour de l'ex-première ministrable du Nouveau Front populaire, Lucie Castets. Mais, d'une primaire, tous les participants au raout social-démocrate de dimanche n'en veulent pas. À dix-huit mois de la présidentielle, la gauche avance toujours en ordre dispersé.L'ALGÉRIE ET LA FRANCE : ENTENTE IMPOSSIBLE, RUPTURE IMPROBABLEEntre embellies et tensions, la relation entre la France et l'Algérie oscille sans cesse. Après une série de différends entre les deux pays, le 31 juillet 2024 allait marquer un tournant majeur : à la surprise générale, le président français est sorti de sa traditionnelle neutralité sur le dossier ultrasensible du Sahara occidental en reconnaissant la souveraineté marocaine sur ce territoire disputé par Rabat et les indépendantistes du Front Polisario, soutenus par Alger. Ce revirement spectaculaire provoqua la colère de l'Algérie, qui rappela son ambassadeur et suspendit la coopération entre les deux pays, notamment en matière de politique migratoire, de sécurité et d'accords économiques. Ce fut le début d'une des crises diplomatiques les plus graves depuis l'indépendance en 1962.Après plus d'un an de cette crise émaillée par l'arrestation à Alger en novembre 2024 de l'écrivain franco-algérien Boualem Sansal, gracié le 12 novembre dernier et de retour en France, le nouveau ministre français de l'Intérieur, Laurent Nuñez, multiplie les déclarations exprimant sa volonté de renouer « le dialogue » avec l'Algérie. Il se démarque ainsi de son prédécesseur, Bruno Retailleau et assume d'engager une politique de détente avec l'Algérie pour reprendre la coopération sécuritaire sur les questions de terrorisme et de narcotrafic. Il compte aussi sur Alger pour faciliter les expulsions d'Algériens en situation irrégulière.Le Premier ministre français a regretté le vote par l'Assemblée nationale, le 30 octobre, pour la première fois de la Vème République, d'un texte du Rassemblement national, en faveur de la dénonciation de l'accord franco-algérien de 1968 – qui régit les règles du séjour des Algériens en France. Sébastien Lecornu s'est toutefois dit favorable à une renégociation de l'accord, que deux rapports parlementaires de 2025 ont jugé trop favorable aux Algériens et ne se justifiant plus, soixante-trois ans après l'indépendance. Les immigrés algériens en France représentent la plus importante communauté immigrée dans le pays, avec près de 900.000 personnes.Si l'heure semble à la décrispation, cependant, l'historien Benjamin Stora estime que « la crise entre l'Algérie et la France a été très dure et très profonde. D'un côté comme de l'autre, elle va laisser des traces. » Il pointe les écueils qui demeurent : à commencer par l'incarcération du journaliste français Christophe Gleizes, arrêté en mai 2024 alors qu'il réalisait des reportages sur le football en Kabylie, mais aussi la position de Paris sur le Sahara-Occidental, la question des obligations de quitter le territoire français (OQTF), les questions sécuritaires dans le Sahel et les questions migratoires.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

On this episode of the “Prison Pulpit” on the China Compass podcast I dive into what missionary pilot Kevin Rideout might be experiencing in Niger (or Timbuktu) after being kidnapped by Islamic extremists (but I repeat myself) last month, in the hopes that we will take time to "remember his chains" and intercede for him as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do....

Niamey is 500 miles north of the Atlantic Ocean (leap-frogging Benin) Niamey is in the south Sahara, 1500 miles from the Mediterranean and 2100 miles from Cairo Niger is about twice the size of Texas, 3x the size of California, and virtually the same as Peru Niamey has about a million people, and Niger as a whole 25 million Niger has both the highest birthrate in the world at 6.5, but also the highest infant mortality rate The child mortality rate (child deaths before age 5) is between 80 and 250 per 1,000 (1 in 4) Niger is such a basketcase that even China has trouble getting them to cooperate, despite throwing hundreds of millions (billions, really) of dollars their way!

A former Hollywood screenwriter with a sharp eye for aesthetics, Sahara Lotti turned her storytelling instincts into design innovation. Frustrated by salon lash extensions that were costly, damaging, and time-consuming, she set out to invent something better—and did. In 2016, she founded Lashify, launching the Fuse Control® Wand and Gossamer® lashes, designed to be applied beneath the lash line with her patented Underlash™ technique. What began as a personal solution has grown into a worldwide movement embraced by makeup artists, celebrities, and everyday consumers alike. Today, Lashify holds over 750+ patents and 1,000 trademarks worldwide—proving that independent innovation can stand up to an industry dominated by conglomerates. Through relentless IP defense, Lotti has become one of the few female founders to set legal precedent for protecting creative work. Independent, inventive, and unfiltered, she's built Lashify not just as a beauty brand but as a statement of ownership, vision, and freedom.In this episode, Sahara also discusses:Harnessing obsession as a driving force for successHow Lashify is transforming lives, from renewed confidence to weight lossExposing IP theft and the dark side of the beauty industryLeading global innovation in lash technologyThe brand's unexpected mission: a fierce love for dogsRevolutionizing lashes and the future of beautyWe hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Sahara's journey and the growth of Lashify.

In this episode, I had the most high-vibe, queen-energy conversation in Dubai with one of the city's finest expanders, the queen who pulls the energy of expansion forward in all of us, Regan Hillyer.   Regan is an internationally renowned manifestation teacher whose work bridges energetics, embodiment, and the quantum field. Her teachings remind us that we can literally sculpt our reality, collapse time, and create new visions for our lives that we never thought possible.   When I recorded this, I was in a moment of deep expansion, learning to stretch my capacity to receive and anchor into my royal frequency. Dubai, to me, represented that energy — a city of limitless possibility and creation.   Together, Regan and I explore:

We hear the word “surrender” all the time in spirituality, but what does it actually mean?   For most of my life, surrender didn't make sense. My mom fled war in Iran, my dad too, and everything I learned growing up was about fighting for freedom, not giving in. So when people said “just surrender,” I thought it meant giving up.   It wasn't until my marriage ended that I learned what real surrender was. I didn't have a choice anymore. I had to trust that Spirit was guiding me somewhere greater, even if I couldn't see where. That moment opened the door to a year of complete flow. I left everything behind, traveled the world with one suitcase, and discovered new archetypes within myself that I never knew existed.   But eventually, I realized there's a paradox in all of this. If we only surrender, we can lose direction. If we only control, we block the magic. The truth is, we need both.   ✨ In this episode, I explore: What surrender really means and how it shows up in our lives The balance between trusting the universe and taking aligned action The archetypes of “Surrender Sarita” and “Control Candace” How to know when life is asking you to release versus when it's time to focus Why both structure and flow are needed to create your dharma This conversation is a reminder that surrender isn't about giving up. It's about trusting that Spirit may have a bigger plan than the one you made for yourself.   If you are looking for a diverse + nourishing community of like-minded souls I'd love to invite you to join of Rose Gold Goddesses at https://www.rosegoldgoddesses.com   Get $20 off Use my promo code SAHARA and get $20 off at www.holisticgoddess.com/sahara    Sign up this week and get 25% off with this code: 25SWS at checkout!
