Le ministre français de l'Intérieur, Laurent Nuñez , est en visite à Alger pour tenter de rétablir le dialogue entre la France et l'Algérie, marqué par de nombreuses tensions diplomatiques ces dernières années. Ces tensions concernent notamment le soutien de la France au Maroc sur la question du Sahara occidental, l'arrestation et la condamnation de journalistes français en Algérie, ainsi que la diffusion d'un reportage jugé offensant par les autorités algériennes. La visite de Nuñez vise à aborder des sujets concrets comme la lutte antiterroriste, le démantèlement des réseaux de narcotrafic et la gestion de l'immigration illégale, afin de rétablir un dialogue constructif.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Miguel Ángel González Suárez te presenta el Informativo de Primera Hora en 'El Remate', el programa matinal de La Diez Capital Radio que arranca tu día con: Las noticias más relevantes de Canarias, España y el mundo, analizadas con rigor y claridad. Hoy hace un año: Trump habla con Putin y Zelenski para iniciar "negociaciones" para acabar con la guerra de Ucrania … y hoy hace un año: El Estado se compromete a financiar los trenes de Gran Canaria y Tenerife. El Ministerio de Transportes firmará primero un protocolo declarando las líneas ferroviarias de interés estratégico y luego rubricará sendos convenios con los dos cabildos para costear la construcción a lo largo de diez años ampliables en otros siete. Hoy se cumplen 1.462 días de guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. 3 años y 352 días. Hoy es viernes 13 febrero de 2026. Día Mundial de la Radio. Cada 13 de febrero celebramos el Día Mundial de la Radio, un medio que ha resistido el paso del tiempo, adaptándose a los cambios tecnológicos sin perder su esencia: informar, entretener y conectar a las personas. Desde su invención, la radio ha sido testigo y protagonista de los momentos más importantes de la historia. Ha llevado la actualidad a cada rincón del planeta, ha dado voz a quienes no la tenían y ha sido un refugio de compañía en los momentos más difíciles. En un mundo dominado por lo digital, sigue siendo un medio cercano, inmediato y de confianza. Hoy rendimos homenaje a quienes hacen posible la magia de la radio: locutores, periodistas, técnicos y todos aquellos que trabajan para que, con solo encender un dial o pulsar un botón, podamos escuchar historias, debates, música y noticias. Porque la radio no solo informa, también emociona y une. ¡Feliz Día Mundial de la Radio! 📻 1839: En Mallorca, el pianista polaco Frédéric Chopin, acompañado de la escritora francesa George Sand, abandona la isla (donde había permanecido desde noviembre del año anterior) a causa de su maltrecha salud. 1880: En España, el rey Alfonso XII firma la ley de abolición de la esclavitud. 1917: En un hotel de París (Francia) el servicio de espionaje detiene a la espía Mata Hari. 1934: En España se fusionan la Falange Española y las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista en una sola agrupación patriótica nacional-sindicalista: FE de las JONS. Tal día como hoy, 13 de febrero de 1960, Francia se convierte en la cuarta potencia atómica después de explotar una bomba atómica en el desierto del Sahara. 1967: En la Biblioteca Nacional de España (Madrid) se descubre un volumen de casi 700 páginas con anotaciones manuscritas y dibujos a mano de Leonardo da Vinci. 1990: en Alemania, en el marco de la reunificación, se alcanza un acuerdo para un plan de dos etapas de reunir las dos Alemanias. 1997: En España, el Congreso español aprueba el proyecto de ley de Liberalización de las Telecomunicaciones y fija las condiciones del segundo operador de telefonía en España (Retevisión). santos Benigno, Lucinio, Esteban, Gilberto, Agabo, Julián y Poliuto. EE.UU. pide más colaboración y menos dependencia en la reunión de ministros de Defensa de la OTAN en Bruselas. Sánchez y Meloni chocan por la reunión paralela a la cumbre informal de la UE a la que España no ha sido invitada. El Gobierno español se ha quejado ante el de Italia al considerar que mina los principios básicos de la Unión Europea. Junto a España ha habido otros siete países que no han sido invitados: España, Portugal, Irlanda, Estonia, Letonia, Lituania, Malta y Eslovenia. Los casos de cáncer en la UE crecen un 30% y disparan el gasto sanitario al 6,9%.

Maaike en Joost zijn terug in Nederland na hun duurzame fietsexpeditie van bijna drie jaar. In deze nazit praten we verder waar aflevering 213 ophield: over hun film “Alles ertussenin”, een volle bioscoopzaal in Rotterdam, het landen na zo'n lange reis en hoe je leven er daarna uitziet.We hebben het over de cultuurschok van weer thuis zijn, de overgang van elke dag buiten leven naar agenda's en deadlines, wat de reis met hun relatie deed en hoe thema's als armoede, klimaat, plasticvervuiling en vluchtelingen onder je huid gaan zitten. Ook hoor je hoe ze hun idealen nu vertalen naar werk, wonen en toekomstige plannen.Je ziet hier de link naar het bijbehorende artikel op Fietskriebels.com, de eerdere aflevering vanuit Ecuador (213) (samenvatting hieronder) en het Instagram-account Sustainable Wanderer. Vond je dit een mooie aflevering? Laat een beoordeling achter of tip iemand die droomt van een langere, duurzamere reis.Samenvatting eerdere aflevering (Ecuador) – ter achtergrond. Luister terug via deze link.Maaike en Joost zijn sinds september 2022 vanuit Rotterdam op een duurzamefietsexpeditie. Ze delen hun reiservaringen, die zij als meer dan een fietsvakantie beschouwen,onder andere via hun Instagram-account ‘Sustainable Wanderer'. Hun voornaamste motivatieom hun stabiele leven in Nederland op te geven was het verlangen om de wereld te ontdekkenop eigen kracht en op een duurzame manier, zonder uitstoot.De reis begon met fietsen naar het zuiden van Europa. Na twee maanden vrijwilligerswerk inZuid-Spanje in december en januari, fietsten ze drie maanden door Marokko. Dit land maakteeen blijvende indruk vanwege de gastvrijheid (een belangrijke waarde in de islamitischecultuur) en het prachtige, afwisselende landschap. Ze keerden terug via de bergen (Anti-Atlas,Atlas en Rifgebergte) om de extreme hitte in de Sahara te vermijden.Na een tijdelijke terugkeer naar Europa en deels naar Nederland (waarbij ze ook in Nederlandalles op de fiets deden), startte hun zeilavontuur. Ze zeilden ongeveer drie weken met eenFrans stel naar de Canarische Eilanden. Vervolgens was het lastig om een boot te vinden voorde oversteek van de Atlantische Oceaan, omdat ze met zijn tweeën waren én twee fietsen meehadden. Uiteindelijk zeilden ze met een Nederlands zeilpaar, via Kaapverdië, in totaal tweemaanden naar Frans-Guyana, waar ze begin maart aankwamen. De reis ging verder over deAmazone met boten, waarbij ze in hangmatten sliepen. Op het moment van die afleveringfietsten Maaike en Joost in Ecuador en hadden ze hun identiteit als fietser weer teruggevonden.Ze hanteerden een organische planning en hielden hun reis bewust open, al hadden zeinmiddels wel een concreter doel: naar Patagonië fietsen. Ze verwachtten rond maart 2025 hetzuiden van Patagonië te bereiken, wat ze zien als het ‘einde van de wereld' en een mooimoment om de reis af te sluiten na ongeveer 2,5 jaar.Tijdens de expeditie werden ze geconfronteerd met serieuze problemen. Ze vonden dewijdverbreide plastic vervuiling en zichtbare armoede (onder andere in Kaapverdië, Peru enMarokko) moeilijk om te zien. Ook kregen ze de vluchtelingenproblematiek van dichtbij mee,zoals op het eiland El Hierro waar 60 Senegalese vluchtelingen in een boot arriveerden.Daarnaast ervoeren ze de gevolgen van klimaatverandering op veel plekken, zoals mislukteoogsten en extreem weer. Joost werkte ondertussen aan video's voor een persoonlijkedocumentaire over de reis. En tussen al die ‘harde' thema's door was er ook ruimte voor lichtedetails, zoals de yogamat die meereist als multifunctioneel stuk bagage.

Sophia, Grace and Sahara look at baseball teams across northern Nevada with a preview of the months ahead.

There are still some places on Earth that remain a total mystery, and we're not even sure if they really exist! For example, there's the legendary city of Atlantis, which people have been searching for forever—some say it's hidden beneath the ocean. Then there's the Eye of the Sahara, a massive spiral formation in the desert that might have been a meteor crash site or even the ruins of an ancient city. The Amazon rainforest is another mystery; deep inside, there are rumored to be uncontacted tribes and hidden temples. Even in modern times, places like Mount Roraima in South America seem like they belong to another world, with their flat-topped peaks shrouded in mist. So, even with all our technology, some places still keep their secrets! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Femten år efter Sydsudans selvstændighed er landet ikke bare i krise, men i adskillige kriser på én gang: En humanitær krise, en klimakrise, en militær krise, en demokratisk krise, en flygtningekrise, en økonomisk krise. Syd for Sahara diskuterer Sydsudans mange kriser i en tid, hvor landet synes at bevæge sig ud i en ny borgerkrig. Hvis den ikke allerede er begyndt.

Episode 220 of The Adventure Podcast features endurance athlete and author, Peter Wright. Peter has undertaken some of the world's most challenging endurance events - completing the Marathon des Sables, the Jungle Ultra, the Western States 100, the Cape Wrath Ultra and rowing the Atlantic. But what's fascinating about Peter is that on the face of it, he's a pretty normal bloke with a full-time career, who made a series of seemingly ordinary decisions. In this episode, Matt speaks with Peter about how a comfortable, “mildly active” life gradually evolved into a decade of endurance challenges. He shares honest stories of failure, imposter syndrome, DNFs, and the mindset shifts that helped him keep going when quitting felt easier. They discuss balancing adventure with family life and a full-time career, the reality of preparing for a two-year project, and the emotional highs and lows of life at sea. At its core, this episode explores motivation, ageing, and fear of regret. And why adventure isn't necessarily about talent, but about turning up and committing to the long game.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack.

The Luminescence Podcast, hosted by Schuyler Grant, powered by Commune. A space for science-based, culturally curious, and politically fearless conversations illuminating women's health. Ever been turned on but dry as the Sahara? Vaginal lubrication doesn't always match desire, and in this episode, Schuyler Grant and her expert panel (Dr. Jolene Brighten, Dr. Marisa Snyder, and Rosie Acosta) explain what our culture – and our doctors – fail to teach us. We break down vaginal health, pH balance, and what is really going on in your body during arousal. What you'll learn: Arousal non-concordance (your wetness doesn't have to match your desire) Vaginal pH and why estrogen is basically a farmer for your vagina What really happens during arousal (spoiler: it takes longer than porn suggests) Why every vagina needs estrogen (postpartum, perimenopause, menopause) Vaginal health myths busted (Can tampons get lost? Are tight vaginas better?) How to know when dryness, itching, or pain needs medical attention Why vaginal health is connected to your overall wellbeing Can you get pregnant during your period? (Depends.) Are all vaginas pink? (Absolutely not.) Should you be doing 50 Kegels a day? (Please stop.) You'll learn why the “tight vagina” myth is harmful, how semen affects vaginal pH, and why vaginal health changes throughout your life. It's the vagina education you never got—science-backed, shame-free, and actually useful.

Hi thank you for listening to my essay on the Dahshur pyramids and the Sahara desert. See the pictures of my travel here. https://futurestrong.org/2026/01/07/a-speck-on-the-sahara-sipping-tea-above-egypts-bent-and-red-pyramids/I'm Rachana, and I write short stories, poetry and essays on our enduring humanity. For 15+ years I've been helping people unlock their highest potential and build lives of purpose, resilience and unstoppable momentum.My big dream? To consciously create a better future where everyone is excited about their own potential – and yes, I'm aiming to win the Nobel in December 2044 for contributions to human development. Crazy? Maybe. But will you join me on this journey of growth and transformation?

Valeska Schaudy wächst in der Oststeiermark auf, besucht den musischen Zweig im BORG, spielt Saxophon und Querflöte. Früh zeigt sich ihre Neugier: auf Räume, Landschaften, andere Lebensweisen. Dieses Interesse führt sie nach Graz, wo sie Umweltsystemwissenschaften mit Schwerpunkt Geografie studiert – ein Studium, das damals noch im Entstehen ist. „Ich wollte etwas Breites, wo viel drinnen ist“, sagt sie rückblickend. Lebensräume, Klima, Ökosysteme verstehen – das wird ihr Kompass. Schon während des Studiums zieht es sie hinaus: Ein Auslandssemester in Australien, eines in Island. Sie erlebt unterschiedliche Lehrmethoden, Landschaften und Kulturen – und merkt, wie sehr sie das Unterwegssein prägt. Besonders Island bleibt ihr im Gedächtnis: „So anders, so frisch – die Landschaft durch die Erdgeschichte.“ Gleichzeitig wächst in ihr die Sehnsucht nach Weite und Bewegung. Nach dem Studium arbeitet sie projektbezogen, unter anderem in der Hydrologie und Regionalentwicklung. Gemeinsam mit ihrem heutigen Mann Philipp reift ein größerer Plan – oder besser gesagt: ein großes Abenteuer. Was als fünfmonatige Reise beginnt, wird später zu fünf Jahren die Welt bereisen. Mit dem Fahrrad fahren die beiden von Nordkap Richtung Süden, durch Europa, Afrika, Asien, Australien und Amerika. Rund 65 Länder, tausende Kilometer, oft ohne Internet, mit Karten und Gesprächen. „Man muss den Leuten Fragen stellen – und genau das ist das Schöne“, erzählt Valeska. Türen öffnen sich, obwohl man keine gemeinsame Sprache hat. Menschen laden sie ein, geben ihnen einen Schlafplatz, teilen Essen. „Die überwiegende Mehrheit der Menschen ist gut“, ist eine der Erkenntnisse, die sie von dieser Reise mitnimmt. Die Reise ist nicht romantisch verklärt. Es gibt Sandstürme in der Sahara, Dunkelheit in Spitzbergen, Einsamkeit, Müdigkeit, Vorsicht. Und doch kommt Aufgeben nie wirklich in Frage. „Dieses Vorhaben war so stark im Kopf, dass wir gar nicht ans Aufhören gedacht haben.“ Mut bedeutet hier: weitermachen, Lösungen finden, aushalten – Schritt für Schritt. Zurück in Österreich beginnt ein neuer Lebensabschnitt. Valeska sehnt sich nach Regelmäßigkeit, nach Verlässlichkeit, nach einem Ort. Kinder werden ein Thema. Sie kommen an, zuerst in Graz, später in einer grünen Siedlung am Rand – mit Nachbarschaft, Austausch, Gemeinschaft. Ein weiterer Schritt folgt vor kurzem: die Gemeindepolitik. Valeska wird Gemeinderätin – nicht aus Karriereplänen, sondern aus Engagement und weil sie die Zukunft ihrer Kinder aktiv gestalten möchte. Der Auslöser ist ein sicherer Schulweg. „Ich habe mir gedacht, ich kann mich jetzt beschweren – oder ich gestalte mit.“ Heute sitzt sie mit Menschen unterschiedlicher Zugänge an einem Tisch, ringt um Lösungen, fragt nach, bleibt dran. „Ich bin ausdauernd und hartnäckig“, sagt sie – Eigenschaften, die sie schon auf ihren Reisen gebraucht hat. Auch beruflich bleibt sie in Bewegung: Sie absolviert eine inklusive Klimaschutzakademie, möchte Workshops gestalten, Wissen weitergeben, ihren „ökologischen Handabdruck vergrößern“. Kleine Samen setzen – das ist ihr Bild für Veränderung. Am Ende bleibt ein Satz, der vieles zusammenfasst. Auf die Frage, was Frauen müssen, antwortet Valeska ohne Zögern: „Lauter werden.“ Und ihr persönlicher Leitsatz hängt ausgerechnet am stillsten Ort der Wohnung: „Was willst du einmal werden?“ – „Freundlich.“

Hello, Booty Gang—sound the alarms and clutch your pearls, because the whole gang is back in the studio. That's right: Dr. Carlton, Dangilo, and Producer Tony are all present, accounted for, and emotionally unprepared.This week's episode has everything: travel tales, worked holes (allegedly), international steam, and listener feedback that proves you are paying attention—and taking notes. Dr. Carlton kicks things off with a Palm Springs recap that can only be described as restorative, adventurous, and very hydrating. Let's just say the desert wasn't the only thing getting worked, and leave it there before the HOA gets involved.Meanwhile, Producer Tony returns freshly marinated from Italy and wastes zero time taking us inside a Florence bathhouse experience that answers the age-old question: Is the Renaissance alive and well? (Spoiler: yes, and she's naked.)In listener land, the Booty Gang is fired up. We've got two thoughtful, spicy reactions to our reaction to the Las Culturistas vs. Jasmine Crockett moment—because nothing says community like layered discourse with a side of shade. Add in a Booty Gangster who is struggling with dryness (we're talking Sahara, not personality), and another listener sliding into Dr. Carlton's inbox with questions about Spring Blooms that are less “fresh florals” and more “is this normal?”It's a classic Butt Honestly episode: equal parts sex-ed, group chat chaos, cultural commentary, and lovingly inappropriate oversharing. Educational? Yes. Unhinged? Occasionally. Entertaining? Always.So settle in, hydrate accordingly, and enjoy an episode that proves once again—when the whole crew shows up, things get slippery fast.

So, let's talk about those frozen pipes, shall we? With the massive storm slamming the US and everyone's pipes turning into ice cubes, it's the perfect time to dive back into last year's golden nuggets of wisdom from Eric G. He's got the lowdown on how to deal with those pesky frozen pipes like a pro—or at least avoid turning your home into a water park disaster zone. Seriously, who knew winter could turn our houses into frosty fortresses? From cranking up the heat to the classic “close those crawl space vents” move, Eric's got all the tips to keep your plumbing from pulling a Frozen 2 on you. So, grab your hot cocoa, and let's revisit how to save your pipes from the grip of winter's icy fingers! The cold snap sweeping across the US this weekend has everyone scrambling for their thermals and hot cocoa, but what happens when your pipes decide to go on a winter break? Eric G takes us on a nostalgic trip back to last year's episode where he schooled us on the fine art of thawing out those stubborn frozen pipes. Picture it: you're cozied up with a mug of something warm, when suddenly, you realize your water is about as dry as the Sahara. Should you panic? Nah, just hit play and let Eric steer you through the frostbite fiasco. He breaks down the essentials: from cranking up the heat to keeping that water flowing (yes, we're talking about letting it drip), Eric's got all the tips to keep your plumbing from becoming a popsicle. He even throws in a dash of humor while reminding us that our homes were probably not built with snow in mind. Perfect for those who think a frozen pipe is just a fancy term for a new cocktail!Takeaways:Frozen pipes are a major concern during winter storms, so take precautions now.Keep your house warm to prevent frozen pipes; higher temperatures make a difference.Seal crawl space vents to trap heat and protect your pipes from freezing damage.Disconnect outdoor hoses before a freeze; this is a must-do for homeowners everywhere.Links referenced in this episode:aroundthehouseonline.comThanks for listening to Around the house if you want to hear more please subscribe so you get notified of the latest episode as it posts at https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/listenIf you want to join the Around the House Insider for access to the back catalog, Exclusive Content and a direct email to Eric G and access to the show early https://around-the-house-with-e.captivate.fm/support We love comments and we would love reviews on how this information has helped you on your house!

Le sujet ne fait pas la Une des journaux, pourtant il concerne 1 milliard de personnes sur le continent africain : la cuisson au bois a des conséquences sanitaires et environnementales catastrophiques et très peu de gens s'en préoccupent... C'est un sujet qui ne fait pas la Une des journaux et pourtant il est à la croisée de la lutte contre la pauvreté, de l'émancipation et de la santé des femmes, de l'accès à l'éducation pour les enfants, de la lutte contre la déforestation et le changement climatique. Ce sujet, c'est celui de la cuisson des aliments sur le continent africain. En 2026, 1 milliard de personnes dépendent encore de systèmes de cuisson rudimentaires alimentés au bois, au fumier animal ou par des résidus agricoles. Le plus souvent, c'est une marmite posée sur trois pierres à l'intérieur de la maison. Par exemple au Bénin, en Éthiopie, au Liberia, en République démocratique du Congo, en Tanzanie… plus de 80% de la population dépend toujours de la biomasse pour cuire ses repas. Au Nigeria, au Kenya ou au Ghana, c'est 70%. Il existe de nombreuses initiatives locales pour améliorer la situation. Nous vous emmènerons dans le nord du Sénégal où l'ONG Nebeday innove avec une méthode de diffusion de foyers améliorés fabriqués à partir de ressources locales. Plus de 15 000 familles sont déjà équipées. 1 million d'arbres ont été sauvés. C'est un beau résultat, mais il faut agir à une échelle beaucoup plus grande...  Un reportage de Pauline Le Troquier.  Avec l'éclairage de Youba Sokona, scientifique malien, il travaille depuis plus de 40 ans dans les domaines de l'énergie et du climat au niveau international. Il a été le premier coordinateur du Centre africain pour la politique en matière de climat, le secrétaire exécutif de l'Observatoire du Sahara et du Sahel, professeur honoraire à l'University College London, membre de l'Académie mondiale des sciences et de l'Académie africaine des sciences. Il a été vice-président du GIEC, le groupe intergouvernemental d'experts sur l'évolution du Climat de 2013 à 2024.

Send us a textWhat if jazz didn't just borrow from culture but stood inside it, breathing in real stories and rhythms from across the Sahara? We sit down with The Salako—musician, festival founder, and fearless improviser—to map the living space between Yoruba folk, Afro jazz, and the kind of stage magic that turns a crowd into an instrument.We talk about identity and clarity—why he embraced “The Salako” to guide listeners to the right artist—and then get into the core of his craft. He shares how Bobby McFerrin's approach unlocked a mindset of freedom: starting from a spark, building songs with the room, and letting rhythm, audience voices, and raw texture find their form. That same spirit led him to create the Abuja International Afro Jazz Festival, a truly global platform where artists bring their culture into jazz, not the other way around. From South African mentors to Norwegian partners and a Senegalese groove, the festival gives Abuja a front-row seat to the world's musical dialects.We challenge assumptions about attention spans and “easy music,” and discuss why depth still wins when presented with honesty. The Salako writes long-form pieces, then crafts radio edits for entry points, trusting listeners to seek the full journey. That faith pays off: Gen Z showed up and stayed to the last note at the most recent festival. He also teases Pirates of the Sahara, dropping alongside his April tour, with themes that look beyond love to real issues—discipline, social strain, traffic impatience—carried by bold meters, brass, and storytelling arcs. A highlight, Dagunro, reframes a Yoruba warning tale as a cinematic, 7/8 surge that feels both ancient and new.Underneath it all sits a generous belief: everyone is musical. The Salako loves turning audiences into choirs because creativity isn't a niche—it's human. If you're curious about African jazz, cultural storytelling, improvisation, and how legacy-minded work can still thrill a modern crowd, this conversation is your map. Listen, subscribe, and share with a friend who needs a fresh spark in their playlist.

Las Vegas wasn't just a stop on Johnny Carson's itinerary — it was his second home. This week on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Ira sits down with Mark Malkoff, co-author (with David Ritz) of "Love Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan's Journey to Find the Genius Behind the Legend," for a fascinating deep dive into Carson's unique and lasting bond with Las Vegas. Drawing from hundreds of interviews and years of research, Mark reveals previously un-known stories about Carson's life and career, including who persuaded Johnny to first perform in Las Vegas and why his debut at the Sahara was an instant sensation. Mark also explores how Carson's relaxed, playful stage persona in Las Vegas differed from the carefully calibrated host audiences saw nightly on The Tonight Show. The conversation uncovers Carson's legendary friendship with Don Rickles, his love of discovering and championing new talent on Vegas stages, and the curiosity that fueled his creative life. Mark also shares how he teamed up with famed biographer David Ritz to bring this definitive portrait of Carson to life — and offers new details about Johnny's earliest shows originating from New York. For fans of classic Vegas, television history, and the entertainers who helped shape the city's golden era, this episode offers a rare and intimate look at Johnny Carson away from the desk — and under the bright lights of Las Vegas.

Libya sprawls across North Africa like a vast historical palimpsest, where Roman emperors once strutted and desert nomads still traverse ancient caravan routes. This is where the Sahara meets the Mediterranean in spectacular fashion, offering travelers Roman ruins that shame Pompeii, oasis towns that predate air conditioning by centuries, and beaches so pristine you'll wonder why everyone flocks to overcrowded European resorts instead. Currently emerging from years of instability, Libya remains wonderfully off the beaten track.Love the pod? Get the guide! Out with each new podcast, we publish a guide to the country.

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?

Send us a textWhat if Disney World added a park built on discovery instead of nostalgia? We clink Space 220-inspired cocktails and blueprint a fifth gate where a kinetic Atlas Spire orients you to realms of myth, exploration, and city-of-the-future wonder. We compare our AI prompts and pull the best ideas into a cohesive vision: a Mystic Manor–anchored spirit land with living art and folklore; an oceanic realm shaped by Sinbad and 20,000 Leagues energy with a Leviathan coaster that fakes “underwater” with lighting and no-visible-track sections; and a Cities of Tomorrow district that swaps retro chrome for global futurism, blending Big Hero 6 kinetics, real plants, and WALL-E's hope.We go big with Society of Explorers and Adventurers—Journey to the Center of the Earth reimagined, steampunk research vehicles, and a live “Grand Symposium” where inventions delightfully misfire. Then we expand Zootopia into a full metropolis: tundra, Sahara, and rainforest neighborhoods tied together by a trackless Hot Pursuit chase that starts with a perfectly timed sloth gag. To balance the IP, we stake out Realms of Legends, an original mythology land led by a soaring theater experience, a character-rich Path of Heroes walkthrough, and a Legends Carousel that turns classic ride charm into worldbuilding.Food and atmosphere seal the deal. Picture a Gathering Table that feels communal and candlelit, a stargazing lounge over the park, a caravanserai alive with Silk Road flavors and roaming storytellers, and kiosks serving hand pies, flatbreads, tea flights, and seafood. We even place the park with Skyliner access and a Meridian Grand Lodge offering a dedicated entrance and rooftop observatory. The result is a full-day experience where rides, shows, and dining are stitched together by a single promise: exploration that rewards curiosity.If this sparks your imagination, follow, share, and leave a review. Tell us which land you'd rope drop first and what attraction you'd add to make the fifth gate unforgettable.

Aujourd'hui, nous vous proposons de découvrir un patrimoine exceptionnel, un véritable livre ouvert sur notre passé : les peintures rupestres. Ces œuvres, gravées ou peintes sur les parois des grottes il y a des milliers d'années, ne sont pas seulement des témoignages artistiques. Elles sont aussi des archives précieuses qui nous racontent comment nos ancêtres vivaient, s'adaptaient et survivaient face aux bouleversements climatiques. À travers les scènes de chasse, les représentations d'animaux ou des symboles, les peintures rupestres révèlent des indices sur les migrations, les ressources disponibles, et même les croyances des sociétés préhistoriques. En les étudiant, les chercheurs peuvent reconstituer les liens entre les changements environnementaux et les transformations des modes de vie. Nous vous emmènerons dans le Nord du Tchad, dans le massif de l'Ennedi où notre reporter Carol Valade a pu suivre une mission archéologique dans cet endroit qui abrite l'un des plus importants patrimoines d'Afrique ! Avec l'éclairage de Frédérique Duquesnoy, docteur en archéologie, membre associé du laboratoire méditerranéen de préhistoire Europe-Afrique, spécialiste des arts rupestres sahariens Musiques diffusées dans l'émission

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

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

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:

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.

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.
