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:

Sahara Briscoe has a challenge for you: Do more with yarn. Knit your spinning, spin your knitting, rug hook with yarn, paint on your swatches, embroider with yarn, and question your assumptions about what your stash is for. Working from a compact Bronx studio, Sahara can't be easily classified under any label ending in -er except New Yorker. She spins, weaves on all kinds of looms, dyes, knits by hand and machine, crochets, hooks rugs, embroiders, designs custom fabrics for a range of clients, teaches, and writes, switching happily between them all and combining them as her interests lead her. At present, she is excited about scrappy knitting and a series of hooked-rug trivets. ”My textile life runs under two phrases: What if? And why not?” she says. Instead of staying in craft silos, where we pursue just one set of techniques at a time, she urges fiber folks to combine crafts fearlessly. In both her personal work and commissioned work, she is drawn to crafting for home. Surrounding herself with textiles she loves, especially ones that transform some treasured stash into something useful, make her life more enjoyable at the same time they promote a low-waste, circular way of living. “For me, beautiful home textiles . . . Well, it‘s like us as women,” she says. “We have to be durable. We have to perform a lot of tasks, you know, and we have to hold up and still look good.” “My whole design practice and textile practice is about—why can't the everyday look beautiful?” Links Sahara Briscoe's Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/saharabriscoe/) Sahara's Super String Theory Design (https://superstringtheorydesign.com/) custom textile studio Cochenille Design Studio (https://www.cochenille.com/) computer design software This episode is brought to you by: Treenway Silks is where weavers, spinners, knitters and stitchers find the silk they love.

We answered questions in store, by phone, and through email.” When you order from The Yarn Barn of Kansas, you aren't just ordering materials.

(And let us do the international shipping and tariffs, so you don't have to.) Peace Fleece began in a small Maine town with a mission: to produce a yarn that brings together parties from areas of historic conflict, transcending boundaries through the commerce of wool. From Russian farmers to the Navajo Nation, the original owners set the foundation for meaningful trade. Today, the spinning mill at Harrisville Designs continues the tradition of sourcing fine wool from Navajo farmers, combining it with US wool and a touch of mohair to create the unique Peace Fleece blend.

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!

Around 6,000 years ago, the Sahara was a lush grassland. Then, as if a switch flipped, it began to dry out, becoming the desert that we know today. Tipping points are moments in Earth's history where gradual change suddenly becomes rapid and forms a new equilibrium. They're one of the most alarming threats of our planet's near future — and one of the most uncertain. When will a tipping point occur? Mathematicians are attempting to turn vague, apocalyptic visions into something that we can actually prepare for and deal with. On this week's episode, host Samir Patel speaks with contributing writer Gregory Barber about what tipping points can — and cannot — tell us about the future of our planet. This topic was covered in a recent story for Quanta Magazine. Each week on The Quanta Podcast, Quanta Magazine editor in chief Samir Patel speaks with the people behind the award-winning publication to navigate through some of the most important and mind-expanding questions in science and math.

Nature is not fixed, but ever changing. Some of the world's best known deserts were once fertile grasslands and forests, including the Sahara, the Mojave, the Kalahari, and Gobi deserts. Is it accurate to think of deserts as permanent? Ecosystem succession shows us that Nature can evolve from rock to forest as well as reverse itself back to dust or a barren state. According to National Geographic, drylands account for more than 40 percent of the world's terrestrial surface area. Human-caused desertification and soil erosion is changing the landscape of Earth, with Africa and Asia being particularly vulnerable; many in these regions rely on subsistence farming. Humans are accelerating the degradation of land through deforestation, urbanization, mining, monocrop industrial farming, and conventional ranching, however, turning land into desert is not a fixed or foregone conclusion. Our guest in this show recorded in 2023, Alejandro Carrillo, Managing Partner, Grasslands Regeneration Project for Las Damas Ranch, has been working to green the Chihuahuan desert in northern Mexico. Droughts, floods and erosion need not be permanent realities if we change the behaviors that are causing them. We have the power to align with and assist Nature in a process of evolution that benefits and sustains life. Las Damas, Alejandro Carrillo's 30,000-acre ranch, is one of the world's best known examples of what is possible on dry land, these arid and brittle environments that receive low rainfall. Due to rotational grazing and other strategies, like supporting the work of dung beetles and termites, native grasslands have proliferated. Thus, water infiltrates into more productive soil, wildlife and plant diversity thrive, encouraging a microclimate where rainfall increases. Resiliency is possible and Alejandro is here to share his remarkable, regenerative journey.

In the last ten years, he has been able to grow tremendous amounts of grasses, forbes, and legumes in a climate zone that receives only eight inches of rainfall, thanks to holistic, rational grazing management. This has benefited both his ranching endeavor and the life in general of all organisms below and above ground. He has also made rainfall more abundant by creating a microclimate for his ranch. Before joining his father's cattle ranch called Las Damas in 2004, Alejandro worked for several years in the software industry in the financial sector in various countries in the Americas and Europe.

Dans cet épisode, on reçoit Ludovic, qui, étudiant, a troqué l'amphi pour… l'asphalte.Son pari ? Un tour du monde 100 % en auto-stop. Pas un an. Pas deux. Cinq ans de stop, d'auto-stop, camion-stop, voilier-stop, cargo-stop… jusqu'au brise-glace-stop pour toucher l'Antarctique.Au compteur : 59 pays, 170 000 km, 1 300 conducteurs et une avalanche de rencontres qui vous réconcilient avec l'humanité.Des routes alsaciennes de ses débuts aux stations-service de Shanghai, des passes des Tuamotu aux falaises des Andes, du Sahara aux neiges du Sud, Ludovic raconte l'inattendu permanent : nuits sous tente, cuisines de fortune, traversées d'océans “à la dure”, détours imprévus, portes qui s'ouvrent… et ce rendez-vous improbable avec le Dalaï-Lama, chez lui, en Inde.Ce tour du monde est surtout un tour des hommes. Des familles qui hébergent, des marins qui embarquent un inconnu, des profs qui ouvrent leurs classes, des ONG qui changent la donne. On parle hospitalité renversante (Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan), dialogues improbables, quiproquos de langue et ce “document magique” écrit dans 20 langues pour briser la glace en deux minutes.Il y a eu des sueurs froides : routes vertigineuses, conducteurs pressés, armes brandies par peur plus que par malveillance. Mais, surtout, il y a eu des milliers de gestes de bonté et cette conviction qui change une vie : “la grande majorité des gens sont honnêtes et gentils.”Ludovic partage sa méthode, simple et imparable : PPPPS — Propre, Poli, Patient, Persévérant, Souriant.Il nous raconte aussi pourquoi il préfère les stations-service au bas-côté, comment il choisit sa voiture, gère la sécurité, transforme une attente de 28 heures en cours de portugais accéléré, comment faire du voilier-stop (les bonnes saisons, où chercher), cargo, et ce qu'il faut (vraiment) mettre dans son sac pour tenir cinq ans… léger.Résultat : 350 conférences sur la route, un livre, une ONG… et même une histoire d'amour croisée en chemin.Retrouvez-nous sur @beauvoyage !**************************************Production : Sakti ProductionsMusique : Chase The Mississipi, Michael ShynesVous êtes une marque et vous souhaitez collaborer avec Beau Voyage ?

Met die sperdatum vir die Wet op Groei en Geleenthede in Afrika, Agoa, wat verstryk het, berig internasionale media dat die Trump-administrasie 'n verlenging van een jaar van die handelsinisiatief met Afrika suid van die Sahara steun. Sedert die aanstelling in Januarie het die administrasie nog nie voorheen 'n amptelike standpunt oor Agoa uitgespreek nie, 'n wet wat in 2000 uitgevaardig is om belastingvrye toegang tot die Amerikaanse mark vir duisende Afrika-produkte te verleen. Namibië se handelsministerie sê dat hy steeds wag op terugvoer van die Amerikaanse regering. Uitvoerende direkteur Ndiitah Nghipondoka-Robiati het hierdie opdatering met Kosmos 94.1 Nuus gedeel.

The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, spanning 3.6 million square miles. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Red Sea in the east. North to south, it extends from the Mediterranean to the Sahel region of Africa. Within its borders are mountains, plains, oases, and dunes taller than skyscrapers. The Sahara is a world of extremes.While the Sahara is famous for sand dunes, only about 25 percent of it is covered by sand. Much of it is made up of gravel plains, rocky plateaus, and mountains. Some of its dunes, like those in Algeria, can rise more than 500 feet high. Other areas are barren rock formations shaped by centuries of wind erosion. The desert is a patchwork of landscapes.The Sahara's mountain ranges include the Ahaggar Mountains in Algeria and the Tibesti Mountains in Chad. These ranges rise dramatically from the desert floor. They are home to some of the highest peaks in the Sahara, including Mount Emi Koussi at over 11,000 feet. Volcanic in origin, these ranges add rugged beauty to the desert. They remind us that the Sahara is geologically alive. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode night we follow a road that runs from the Sahara to the Somme, tracing the story of the French Army of Africa as it marched from the outposts of the empire and into the furnace of trench warfare. With the aid of French Army expert James Taub, we'll examine the nature of this unique force, where it came from, how it was organised, and how it fought on the Western Front and beyond.

In this episode, I sit down with Mark Campanale, founder of Carbon Tracker and Planet Tracker, best known for introducing one of the most disruptive ideas in climate finance: the carbon bubble.Mark's journey began in his 20s, crossing the Sahara and working in a famine camp, where he first saw how capital, policy, and poverty were deeply linked. After years supporting fair-trade cooperatives in East Africa, he shifted to sustainable finance in London, co-launching the Jupiter Ecology Fund and founding the Social Stock Exchange – until a loss of mission led him to step away. Around that time, he noticed a dangerous blind spot: fossil fuel prospectuses running hundreds of pages mentioned climate change in only a handful of lines. That raised a critical question: how much of the global carbon problem was sitting on corporate balance sheets?No one had run the numbers. So he did.He joined forces with Nick Robins and James Leaton to launch a nonprofit and publish a report – renamed last-minute to Unburnable Carbon.The idea was simple – and terrifying.We have a finite carbon budget if we want to stay under 2°C of warming. But the reserves held by fossil fuel companies – already financed, already capitalized – far exceeded that budget. Mark compared it to a game of musical chairs – but the players were oil majors, national oil companies, and gas producers, all scrambling for the planet's last remaining carbon budget. There aren't enough seats for everyone to win.That meant much of the fossil fuel industry's projected value was based on resources the world couldn't afford to burn. If countries kept their climate promises, those reserves would stay in the ground. And markets weren't ready for that.The report didn't just land. It exploded.Rolling Stone headlined it “Global Warming's Terrifying New Math,” and the term carbon bubble went global. University campaigns launched, the Financial Times ran a feature, and even analysts at JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs called Mark in to brief them.He hadn't meant to start a movement, but once it took off, he knew it needed structure. So he built Carbon Tracker – an independent research group now analyzing over 75 companies, using a traffic-light system to show whether business plans align with the Paris Agreement. Their reports, downloaded tens of thousands of times each month by banks and regulators, speak market language to translate climate risk into financial terms.One of their biggest impacts is that the industry's reserves life has fallen from 50 years to just 23. It didn't happen by accident. It happened because investors stopped believing those reserves would ever be developed.The idea of “stranded assets” has expanded beyond fossil fuels through Planet Tracker, Mark's second initiative applying the same forensic lens to oceans, land use, and natural systems. By following overlooked data, he exposed a deeper conflict between financial markets and the planet's future.Mark is not the loudest voice in the room. But his work has made some of the most powerful institutions take a second look.This is his story.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:Mark Campanale LinkedInMark Campanale Twitter/XCarbon Tracker InitiativePlanet Tracker

Raconter l'Afrique et ses diasporas à travers leurs sons et leurs musiques, c'est l'objectif d'une exposition immersive au Musée d'ethnographie de Genève, en Suisse. Avec plus de 200 œuvres – archives, instruments anciens et installations contemporaines –, Afrosonica. Paysages sonores embarque le public dans un voyage multisensoriel qui met en lumière le son comme vecteur de connexion, de résistance et de changement. Des tambours et des luths, des gousses de fruits et des cocons d'insectes, des graines et des coquillages : c'est l'Afrique dans toute sa diversité sonore qui se déploie sur 1 000 mètres carrés au Musée d'ethnographie de Genève. Mo Laudi, artiste multidisciplinaire et DJ sud-africain, est co-commissaire de l'exposition : « "Afrosonica" fait référence à une tradition dans les townships de fusionner des mots pour créer de nouvelles significations. Ici, c'est l'idée que l'Afrique est riche ; les minéraux les plus précieux proviennent du Congo et se retrouvent dans nos téléphones portables ; l'or d'Afrique du Sud orne les Rolex. Et quand vous écoutez du rock and roll, il a ses racines en Afrique, tout comme le hip-hop et le jazz. Aujourd'hui, il y a une fierté à affirmer : "Je suis Africain." Il est essentiel de se souvenir de ces racines pour avancer. » Cet ambassadeur de l'afro-électro présente lui-même une création. Inspirée des peintures murales des maisons d'Afrique du Sud, il y mêle plastique recyclé et chants de travail. Avec l'ethnomusicologue canadienne Madeleine Leclair, conservatrice au MEG, les deux commissaires ont puisé dans les 20 000 heures d'archives du musée et passé commande à sept artistes contemporains pour créer un parcours libre où le son est outil de mémoire, de transmission, de contestation. À écouter aussiAfrosonica, paysages sonores au Musée d'Ethnographie de Genève (MEG) Madeleine Leclair : « Les grands mouvements politiques, les grands chamboulements qui ont marqué l'histoire de l'Afrique – la colonisation, décolonisation, indépendance – étaient accompagnés de musique. C'est vraiment un élément fédérateur. Également en Afrique du Sud, à l'époque de l'apartheid notamment, le gouvernement est même allé jusqu'à censurer des enregistrements, de personnages importants dans la contestation rayés du disque. » Une vingtaine de thèmes rythment le parcours, illustrant le pouvoir du son entre révolte et résilience, rituel et réactivation de la mémoire. Des peintures préhistoriques de harpes du Sahara croisent le chant vaudou du Bénin des années 1960, tandis que la rumba congolaise se frotte aux vinyles d'un jukebox. Le public peut assister à un « bain d'oreilles » au Nigeria et se laisser hypnotiser par le vrombissement d'un rhombe, petit objet en os, en bois ou en ivoire, que l'on fait tournoyer au-dessus de la tête à l'aide d'une ficelle. Madeleine Leclair : « Ces rhombes sont mis en mouvement sur les cinq continents, notamment au Brésil, en Australie également, et en Afrique, ça peut aussi être interprété comme la voix des ancêtres. » Et parfois, il suffit d'un bidon d'huile et d'un câble de frein à vélo pour créer une cithare au Burkina Faso et redonner un sens au son. ► L'exposition Afrosonica.

Amy is a world-renowned author who in 2022 toed the line of the iconic Marathon des Sables. The race planted seeds for a story, one of ultra-running and mystery. In June 2025, 'RUNNER 13' was released. Amy joins the podcast to discuss the book and her MDS story.     Runner 13 is a thriller that drops readers straight into a deadly stage race across the Sahara, echoing the notorious Marathon des Sables in Morocco. McCulloch's own experience running that event shapes every detail - the brutal desert landscape, the psychological toll, and the obsession with endurance that defines the sport. The story follows Adrienne, a once-great ultrarunner forced back into competition, and Stella, daughter of the race's manipulative director, Boones. His events, modelled on real-world extreme events, they aren't designed to be won, but to break runners. Central to the mystery is Runner 13, a symbol of both glory and doom. Told in sharp, cliff-hanging chapters that jump between present and past, the novel feels like Agatha Christie transplanted to the Sahara: a brutal race where survival, not victory, is the prize, and where Morocco's desert becomes both the setting and the trap.

In this episode of Dem Vinyl Boyz, we dive into the atmospheric depths and emotional complexities of Synchronicity, the final studio album from The Police. Released in 1983, this Grammy-winning record is a masterclass in new wave, post-punk, and pop rock, showcasing the trio—Sting, Andy Summers, and Stewart Copeland—at the height of their artistic powers and on the verge of implosion. Synchronicity is more than an album—it’s a psychological rollercoaster. Inspired in part by Carl Jung’s theory of meaningful coincidences, the record explores themes of obsession, paranoia, spiritual connection, and disintegration, both personal and societal. From the urgent rhythms of “Synchronicity I” to the eerie unraveling in “Synchronicity II,” and the haunting isolation of “Tea in the Sahara,” the album captures the inner turmoil that mirrored the band’s own fracturing relationships. Of course, we can’t forget the massive hit that defined the '80s—“Every Breath You Take.” Though often mistaken for a love ballad, the song is a chilling meditation on surveillance and control, and it remains one of the most misunderstood and iconic songs in pop history. Recorded at AIR Studios on Montserrat and in Quebec, this was a technological leap for The Police, pushing their sound into more polished, layered production while still capturing the urgency of a band teetering on the edge. Join us as we spin Synchronicity on vinyl, reflect on the legacy of The Police, break down the album track-by-track, and talk about why this might be one of the greatest—and most conflicted—swan songs in rock history.

Kwa mara ya kwanza idadi ya watoto na vijana wa umri wa kwenda shule wenye unene wa kupindukiaau utipwatipwa imezidi idadi ya watoto wenye utapiamlo duniani ikiathiri watoto milioni 188 sawa na mtoto 1 kati ya kila watoto 10 imesema leo ripoti iliyotolewa leo na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF. Tuungane na Leah Mushi kusikia zaidi kuhusu ripoti hiyo, karibu LeahRipoti hii mpya ya UNICEF iitwayo “Faida kwenye vyakula: Jinsi Mazingira ya Chakula yanavyowaangusha watoto” imechambua takwimu kutoka nchi zaidi ya 190 na kubaini kwamba kiwango cha watoto wenye utapiamlo kimepungua tangu mwaka 2000, lakini wale wenye unene wa kupindukia kimeongezeka mara tatu.Kwa sasa, utipwatipwa umeenea katika kila eneo la dunia isipokuwa Afrika eneo la Kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara na Asia Kusini. Nchi za visiwa vidogo vya Pasifiki ndizo zinaongoza kwa kuwa na viwango vya juu zaidi, ikiwemo Niue yenye asilimia 38 ya watoto wenye umri wa miaka 5 hadi 19 wakiwa na unene wa kupindukia.Nini kimesababisha?UNICEF inasema mabadiliko ya mifumo ya lishe kutoka vyakula vya asili hadi vyakula vya kutengenezwa kwa haraka na vya bei nafuu lakini vyenye sukari, mafuta na chumvi nyingi ndiyo chanzo kikuu cha ongezeko hili.Pia inatahadharisha kuwa matangazo ya kidijitali ya vinywaji vyenye sukari na vyakula vya viwandani yanawafikia vijana wengi, hata katika nchi zenye migogoro.Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa UNICEF, Catherine Russell, amesema utipwatipwa ni changamoto kubwa  ya kiafya kwa watoto kwa sababu huongeza hatari ya kupata kisukari, shinikizo la damu na magonjwa ya moyo katika maisha ya baadaye.Russell amesema “Tunapozungumza kuhusu utapiamlo, hatuzungumzii tu kuhusu watoto wenye uzito mdogo, utipwatipwa ni changamoto kubwa inayoendelea kuongezeka ambayo inaweza kuathiri afya na maendeleo ya watoto. Vyakula vya viwandani vinazidi kuongezeka na kuchukua nafasi ya matunda, mboga mboga na protini katika wakati ambao lishe ina jukumu muhimu katika ukuaji wa watoto, ukuaji wa utambuzi na afya ya akili.”Nini kifanyike?Ili kukabiliana na hali hii, UNICEF inazitaka serikali kuchukua hatua madhubuti ikiwemo kupiga marufuku uuzaji wa vyakula visivyo na lishe shuleni, kudhibiti matangazo ya vyakula vyenye sukari na mafuta, na kuweka sera za kusaidia familia kupata chakula bora na chenye lishe.Kwa mujibu wa UNICEF, bila hatua za haraka, gharama za kiafya na kiuchumi zitakazotokana na tatizo la utipwatipwa wa utotoni zinatarajiwa kupindukia dola trilioni 4 kila mwaka ifikapo mwaka 2035.Zipo juhudi za kupambana na hali hiyo ambazo zimeanza kuchukuliwa na baadhi ya nchi, mfano mzuri ni Mexico ambayo hivi karibuni imepiga marufuku uuzaji wa vyakula vilivyosindikwa na vile vyenye chumvi, sukari na mafuta mengi katika  maeneo ya shule za umma.

About the GuestMichael Herbert is a seasoned addiction counselor, interventionist, and author of the upcoming book The Recovery Roadmap: A Guide to Freedom and Adventure (releasing September 2). With a career spanning correctional facilities to private coaching, Michael has helped countless individuals and families heal. His philosophy? Recovery isn't just abstinence—it's building a life you love. Key Takeaways Recovery starts with abstinence but doesn't end there—it's about discovering who you are without substances. The first 9 months of sobriety are a phase of discovery, not recovery. Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all: fitness, travel, yoga, journaling, and service work are part of Michael's toolkit—but you must find what works for you. Michael ran 137 miles across the Sahara Desert in Tevas, proving the power of mindset in pushing beyond limits. He encourages reframing success through spiritual flexibility, openness, and inner growth rather than external achievement. Relapse prevention starts with structure, self-trust, and community—don't go it alone. True change comes when we take radical responsibility for our own healing journey and prepare ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually for life's opportunities.   Connect with the Guest Instagram / LinkedIn / Facebook: Michael Herbert Email: coachmichaelherbert@gmail.com Website: africanhopefulhorizons.org Book Release: The Recovery Roadmap - Launching September 2 Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch:DM Me Here:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik CHECK PODCAST SHOWS & BE A GUEST Tune to all our 19 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind OUR SERVICES Business Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/corporatepodcasting/ Individual Podcast Management: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/Podcasting/ Share Your Story With the World: https://ourofferings.healthymindbyavik.com/shareyourstory STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US Medium: https://medium.com/@contentbyavik YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@healthymindbyavik Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/healthymindbyavik LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/podhealthclub Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/Avikpodhealth/ SHARE YOUR REVIEW Google Review: https://www.podpage.com/bizblend/reviews/new/ Video Testimonial (featured on website): https://famewall.healthymindbyavik.com/ Tags #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #MentalHealthAwareness #AddictionRecovery #SoberLiving #MindfulnessMatters #StorytellingAsMedicine #PodcastLife #PersonalDevelopment #ConsciousLiving #GrowthMindset #mentalhealth #wellness #traumahealing #healingjourney #fyp #foryoupage #youtube #spotify #motivation #inspiration #podcastinglife #fitnessandhealing #MichaelHerbert #RecoveryRoadmap #adventuretherapy #ultramarathon #SaharaRun #sobrietyjourney #spiritualgrowth #healingtools

This week we talk about the RSF, coups, and the liberal world order.We also discuss humanitarian aid, foreign conflicts, and genocide.Recommended Book: Inventing the Renaissance by Ada PalmerTranscriptIn 2019, a military government took over Sudan, following a successful coup d'état against then-President Omar al-Bashir, who had been in power for thirty years. al-Bashir's latter years were plagued by popular demonstrations against rising costs of living and pretty abysmal living standards, and the government lashed out against protestors violently, before then dissolving local government leaders and their offices, replacing them with hand-picked military and intelligence officers. After he responded violently to yet another, even bigger protest, the military launched their coup, and the protestors pivoted to targeting them, demanding a civilian-run democracy.Just two months later, after unsuccessful negotiations between the new military government and the folks demanding they step aside to allow a civilian government to take charge, the military leaders massacred a bunch civilians who hosted a sit-in protest. Protestors shifted to a period of sustained civil disobedience and a general strike, and the government agreed to hold elections in 2022, three years later, and said that they would investigate the massacre their soldiers committed against those protestors. They also established a joint civilian-military unity government that would run things until the new, civilian government was eventually formed.In late-2021, though, the Sudanese military launched another coup against the unity government, and that council was dissolved, a state of emergency was declared, and all the important people who were helping the country segue back into a democracy were arrested. A new military-only junta was formed, incorporating the two main military groups that were running things, at that point.In 2023, those two military bodies that were working together to run Sudan via this military junta, the Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary group that were made into a sort of official part of the country's military, while remaining separate from it, and the official Sudanese army, both started aggressively recruiting soldiers and taunting each other with military maneuvers. On April 15 that year, they started firing on each other.This conflict stemmed from the Sudanese military demanding that the RSF dissolve itself, all their people integrating into the country's main military apparatus, but some kind of stand-off seemed to be a long time coming, as the RSF started its recruiting efforts earlier that year, and built up its military resources in the capital as early as February. But as I mentioned, this tinderbox erupted into a shooting war in April, beginning in the capital city, Khartoum, before spreading fast to other major cities.So what eventually became a Sudanese civil, which at this point has been ongoing for nearly 2.5 years, began in April of 2023, was long-simmering before that, is between two heavily armed military groups that ran the country together for a few years, and which both claim to be the rightful leaders or owners of the country, and they're fighting each other in heavily populated areas.This war was also kicked off and is now sustained in part by ethnic conflicts between the main belligerents, which includes the aforementioned Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces, but also the Sudan Liberation Movement, which governs a fairly remote and self-sufficient mountainous area in the southern part of the country, and the al-Hilu movement, which supports the RSF's efforts in the region.What I'd like to talk about today is what's happening on the ground in Sudan, in the third year of this conflict, and at a moment when the world's attention seems to have refocused elsewhere, major governments that would have previously attempted to stop the civil war have more or less given up on doing so, and the Sudanese civilians who have been pulled into the conflict, or who have been forced to flee their homes as a consequence of this war, have been left without food, shelter, or any good guys to cheer for.—Sudan has been plagued by coups since it gained independence from the UK and Egypt in 1956; it's seen 20 coup attempts, 7 of them successful, including that most recent one in 2019, since independence.This region also has a recent history of genocide, perhaps most notably in the western Darfur region, where an estimated quarter of a million people from a trio of ethnic groups were killed between 2003 and 2005, alone, and something like 2.7 million people were displaced, forced to flee the systematic killings, strategically applied sexual violence, and other abuses by the Sudanese military and the local, rebel Janjaweed militias, which were often armed by the government and tasked with weeding out alleged rebel sympathizers in the region.This new civil war is on a completely different scale, though. As of April of 2025, two years into the conflict, it's estimated that about 12.5 million people have been displaced, forced from their homes due to everything being burned down or bombed, due to threats from local military groups, killing and assaulting and forcibly recruiting civilians to their cause, and due to a lack of resources, the food and water and shelter all grabbed by these military forces and denied to those who are just trying to live their lives; and that's true of locally sourced stuff, but also humanitarian aide that makes it into the country—it's grabbed by the people with guns, and the people without guns are left with nothing.More than 3.3 million Sudanese people are estimated to have fled the country entirely, and recent figures show that around 25 million people are facing extreme levels of hunger, on the verge of starving to death, including about five million children and their mothers who are essentially wasting away. There are reports of people eating leaves and charcoal, just to get something in their stomachs, and photo evidence of these unmoving crowds of skeletal people who are desperate to get anything, any kind of nutrition at all, any clean water, still make it out of the country, though less and less, as it's becoming more difficult for reporters to make it into and out of the area, safely, and the internet and other communication services, where they're still available, are often shut down.Aid agencies have said that this civil war has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis, and even the US government, which especially right now has been very hesitant to say anything about foreign conflicts, has made it pretty clear that they consider this to be a genocide; there are conscious, intentional, obviously planned efforts to systematically wipe out different ethnic groups, and to cleanse areas of hated political and religious rivals, but this genocide is being carried out at the exact moment that many of the world's major, wealthy governments, which historically would have tried to step in and remedy the situation in some way—often ham-handedly, sometimes by supporting one side or the other to try to gain influence in the region, but almost always by also airdropping food and medical goods and other resources into the area to try to help civilians—these governments are mostly pulling back from those sorts of efforts.Some analysts and regional experts have suggested that this points toward a new normal in the global geopolitical playing field; the so-called liberal world order that helped organize things, that established rules and norms from the end of WWII onward, and which incentivized everyone playing nice with each other, not invading each other, not committing genocide, and focusing on trade over war, is falling apart, the United States in particular deciding to stop funding things, stop participating, deciding to antagonize the allies that helped it maintain this state of affairs, and to basically drop anything that seems to much like a responsibility to people not in the United States. And a lot of other governments are either scrambling to figure out what that means for them, or deciding that they can afford to do something of the same. China, for instance, while stepping in to fill some of those voids, strategically, has also pulled back on some of its humanitarian efforts, because it no longer needs to invest as much in such things to compete with the US, which no longer seems to be competing in that space at all, with rare exceptions.Conflicts in Africa, also with rare exceptions, also just tend to get less attention than conflicts elsewhere, and there are all sorts of theories as to why this might be the case, from simple racism to the idea that areas with more economic potential are more valuable as allies or supplicants, so wealthy nations with the ability to do something will tend to focus their resources on areas that are more strategically vital or wealth-generating, so as to recoup their investment.Whatever the specifics and rationales, though, Sudan has long been conflict-prone, but this civil war seems to be locking the area into a state of total war—where nothing is off the table, and terror against civilians, and to a certain degree wiping out one's enemies completely, salting the earth, killing all the civilians so they can never threaten your force's dominance again, is becoming fundamental to everyone's military strategy—and that state of total war, in addition to be just horrific all by itself, also threatens to roil the rest of the area, including the far more globally integrated and thus well supported and funded Horn of Africa region, which is strategically vital for many nations, due to its adjacency to the Middle East and several vital ports, and the Sahel, which is a strip of land that stretches across the continent, just south of the Sahara desert, and which in modern history has been especially prone to military coups and periods of violence, at times verging on genocide, and which in recent decades has seen a bunch of democratic governments toppled and replaced by military juntas that have done their best to completely disempower all possible future opposition, at times by committing what look a lot like mini-genocides.This conflict, all by itself, then, is already one of the worst humanitarian situations the world has seen, but the confluence of international distraction—much of our attention and the majority of our resources focused on the also horrible situations in Gaza and Ukraine, and the specter of great power competitions that might arise as a result of Ukraine, or of China deciding to invade Taiwan—alongside the pullback from humanitarian funding, and the seeming distaste previously internationally involved entities, like the US and China, now seem to have when it comes to playing peacemaker, or attempted peacemaker, in these sorts of conflicts.All of which would seem to make it a lot more likely that this conflict, and others like it, will continue to play out, and may even reach a scale that permanently scars Sudan and its people, and which possibly even cascades into a series of regional conflicts, some interconnected, and some merely inspired by the brazenness they can clearly see across the border, and the seeming lack of consequences for those committing these sorts of atrocities in order to attain more power and control.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_genocidehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_civil_war_(2023%E2%80%93present)https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2025/09/sudan-civil-war-humanitarian-crisis/683563/?gift=201cWZnM2XBz2eP81zy0pG9Zt_k9jZnrEhnY7lvH1ZQhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/13/sudan-humanitarian-global-world-order-neglect-conflict/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/world/africa/sudan-usaid-famine.htmlhttps://www.reuters.com/world/africa/world-food-programme-reduce-food-support-sudan-due-funding-shortages-2025-04-25/https://www.eurasiareview.com/25042025-sudan-war-is-a-global-crisis-in-the-making-analysis/https://apnews.com/article/un-sudan-darfur-war-anniversary-paramilitary-government-dbfff6244d935f595fb7649a87a6e073https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/sudans-world-warhttps://news.un.org/en/story/2025/04/1162576https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/04/1162096https://reliefweb.int/report/sudan/sudan-situation-map-weekly-regional-update-18-aug-2025https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2wryz4gw7ohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/opinion/sudan-genocide-famine.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_revolutionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudanese_civil_war_(2023%E2%80%93present)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Sudanese_coup_d%27%C3%A9tathttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan_People%27s_Liberation_Movement%E2%80%93Northhttps://www.crisisgroup.org/africa/horn-africa/sudan/stopping-sudans-descent-full-blown-civil-warhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coups_d%27%C3%A9tat_in_Sudan This is a public episode.

A chunk of the planet Mars - the largest ever found on Earth - recently sold for $4.3 million at Sotheby's auction house in New York City. A meteorite hunter first discovered the massive rock in the Sahara desert in Niger in 2023. So how did the meteorite end up at an auction in New York City and why would anyone pay millions of dollars for it? BBC reporter Damian Zane walks us through the rock's mysterious journey — from Mars to New York, via Niger and Italy. He also shares the concerns that Niger's government has about the sale and how Sotheby's has responded. We also hear from Julia Cartwright from the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leicester. She explains how the market surrounding meteorites can lead to even more discoveries.

Dans IDÉES ce dimanche, Pierre-Edouard Deldique vous propose en quelque sorte une traversée du désert avec son invitée, Marie Gautheron, spécialiste d'histoire de l'art. Dans son livre Désert, déserts, du Moyen-Âge au XXIè siècle (Gallimard), elle propose d'analyser le regard occidental sur le désert avec force images. Marie Gautheron s'interroge dans son livre : « Pourquoi et depuis quand les vastes pays arides fascinent-ils l'Occident ? Ce livre raconte l'histoire sensible, esthétique et politique de nos images de déserts, entre créations et stéréotypes, fantasmes et savoirs positifs. Car l'image du désert n'a pas toujours été celle de ces sables à laquelle nous l'identifions souvent aujourd'hui. Née dans l'Orient judéo-chrétien, c'est d'abord celle, paradoxale, d'une expérience intérieure, et de tout espace abandonné de Dieu et des hommes. L'Occident médiéval la réinvente dans des clôtures ou des lieux d'ascèse et d'isolement, île ou forêt. Au fil des siècles, les déserts affreux de la verte Europe se muent en beaux déserts, tandis qu'un flux croissant d'Occidentaux parcourt les déserts d'Orient. Le vaste pays aride est alors promu paysage – sublime parfois, essentialisé souvent. Dans l'imaginaire hexagonal, la « pacification » du Sahara fait de l'empire du vide un champ de bataille, et une terre où rêver d'altérité. Espaces immersifs d'expériences extrêmes, les déserts sont l'objet d'enjeux géopolitiques majeurs au XXᵉ siècle, et le lieu de mutations radicales. Mondialisées, nos images de déserts s'ouvrent à de nouveaux lieux de mémoire. Figure de déréliction et d'exaltation, icône postmoderne de nos non-lieux, souvent déceptive et plus que jamais paradoxale, l'image du désert prête aux utopies, aux dystopies, et résonne encore d'antiques rémanences. » Elle en parle avec passion dans ce nouveau numéro d'IDÉES le magazine qui interroge ceux qui pensent le monde. Programmation musicale : Maurice Jarre - Ouverture du film Lawrence d'Arabie Ahman Pejman - Ecstasy ; Sunset Félicien David (musique), Auguste Colin (paroles) - Ode-Symphonie Le désert Yazz Ahmed - La Saboteuse Vladimir Spivakov, Sergej Bezrodny - Spiegel im Spiegel (Miroir dans le miroir)Compositeur : Arvö Part

Hablamos sobre el alerta de calor sofocante en la República Dominicana. El Instituto Dominicano de Meteorología informó que se prevén cielos soleados, poco nubosos y de aspecto grisáceo, así como un clima muy caluroso en gran parte del país. Esto se debe a la interacción de un sistema anticiclónico y partículas de polvo del Sahara, lo que limitará la formación de nubes y lluvias importantes. Las temperaturas máximas estarán entre 33 y 35 grados Celsius, por lo que se recomienda a la población mantenerse hidratada, vestir ropa ligera y evitar la exposición prolongada al sol. #CalorSofocante #RepúblicaDominicana #Indomet #SistemAnticiclónico #PartículasSahara #TemperaturasAltasConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/radio-ebenezer-rd-emisora-cristiana--3279340/support.

What if the world's largest rainforest became a savanna? The Sahara was once lush. Could the Amazon face a similar fate within a generation?  Deforestation isn't just about trees. It's also about changing global weather patterns. Understanding environmental feedback loops is key to preparing for our future.
