En este episodio de Nébula nos adentramos en uno de los mayores enigmas del desierto: la mítica ciudad perdida de Zerzura. Entre relatos antiguos, expediciones fallidas y leyendas que han sobrevivido al paso del tiempo, exploramos la posibilidad de que, bajo las arenas del Sahara, se oculten los restos de un oasis próspero… o algo mucho más inquietante. Viajaremos a un pasado en el que el desierto no era un mar de dunas, sino una tierra fértil, llena de ríos, fauna y vida. ¿Pudo existir Zerzura en ese mundo olvidado? ¿Qué secretos guarda el Sahara que aún no han sido revelados? Acompáñanos en este viaje entre historia, misterio y exploración, donde cada grano de arena podría esconder una verdad que cambiaría todo lo que creemos saber.

L'émission 28 minutes du 14/05/2026 Covid long : malades imaginaires ou victimes d'un scandale sanitaire ? Dans son livre d'enquête, “Les Oubliés du Covid”, publié aux éditions “HarperCollins”, Nora Sahara, ancienne infirmière devenue journaliste santé, s'intéresse au Covid long à travers les témoignages de patients. Selon elle, près de 2 millions de personnes seraient touchées en France. D'après l'OMS, le Covid long correspond à des symptômes persistant plus de trois mois après l'infection initiale et durant au moins deux mois. Cette maladie est reconnue en France par la loi Zumkeller, votée en 2022 et promulguée en 2023. Parfois remise en cause malgré les nombreux symptômes rapportés, le parcours de soins en France ressemble souvent à un véritable parcours du combattant, en particulier dans les déserts médicaux. Peut-on encore voyager face aux crises géopolitiques, sanitaires et écologiques ? Selon l'ONU, plus de 1,5 milliard de voyageurs internationaux ont été recensés en 2025, un record historique. Le tourisme représente aujourd'hui près de 10 % du PIB mondial. Contrairement aux idées reçues, les tensions géopolitiques ne semblent pas freiner l'envie de voyager. Pourtant, partir coûte de plus en plus cher. Aux contraintes économiques et géopolitiques s'ajoutent également les enjeux écologiques. Face à ces défis, devient-il nécessaire d'imaginer des formes de voyage plus responsables et plus durables ? On en débat avec Jade Lindgaard, journaliste, responsable du pôle écologie de Mediapart, Jean-François Rial, PDG de l'entreprise Voyageurs du Monde et Jean-Didier Urbain, anthropologue, spécialiste du tourisme et du voyage. Xavier Mauduit nous raconte l'histoire de la ville de Mexico, fondée sur une île au milieu d'un lac. Marie Bonnisseau nous révèle qu'en Pologne, les sangliers sont de plus en plus présents dans les zones urbaines, notamment à Varsovie. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio. Enregistrement 14 mai 2026 Présentation Élisabeth Quin Production KM, ARTE Radio
Someone told me you could do family constellations with horses here in Floripa, Brazil and I knew I had to try it for myself. And what happened on that ranch was one of the most profound healing experiences of my life. The moment I stepped onto that land, I was already in a ceremonial space. Already in the field. And I am still integrating weeks later. In this episode I sit down with Gabi, a shamanic family constellation facilitator and medicine woman based in Floripa, to break down everything. How horses pick up on our energy, why they are the perfect vessel for this work, how our generational patterns are passed down, and how we can finally clear them. In this episode we explore:

Namibia sits on the south-west coast of Africa. Below Angola, above South Africa, with Botswana to the east.Portuguese explorers first reached the coast here in the 1480s. No natural harbour, brutal surf, cold Atlantic fog, the Namib Desert running straight into the sea, little access to fresh water. They planted crosses to mark their claims, turned around and went home again, never to return.Today that coast is known as the Skeleton Coast because of shipwrecks and whale bones.Three hundred years later, having decided there was too much tropical disease in Gambia, the British looked at Namibia as a possible penal colony. They decided it was too inhumane.It was Germans and Finns who eventually settled on the coast another hundred years on.Namibia is about three and a half times the size of the UK, and yet its population is only 3 million. It is big and empty. Most of it is desert.I've got more endless expanse shots than I know what to do with. Here is just one of them. Plus a short vid shot from a hot air balloon which gives you an idea of the sheer endlessness of the place.Even in the capital city, Windhoek, there is just so much space.The only two places in the world that are less densely populated are Greenland and Mongolia. Namibia beats even Australia and Mauritania, which is mostly Sahara desert.Demographically, the country is roughly 87% black, 6% white and 5% mixed race, with the Ovambo people to the north making up about half the population. I saw a few Asians while I was there too.A country of extremesThere are still bushmen and other ancient hunter-gatherer people living as they have lived for centuries, yet other parts of the country are extremely modern. There are shopping centres to rival our own, good roads (the best in Africa, I was told), great restaurants, commercial farms and more. About half the population is urban. The national language is English, adopted after the country gained independence from South Africa in 1990, but I found that people, black and white, would as often speak amongst themselves in Afrikaans and, up north, Ovambo. On the coast German is widely spoken. (The country was a German colony from the 1880s until World War I, when South Africa, then British, invaded. Hence it has great beer.)The controlling political force is the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO), which has governed since independence in 1990. SWAPO is nominally social democratic, but there are still strong liberation-era left-wing instincts, as evidenced by streets in the capital renamed after independence: Fidel Castro Street, Robert Mugabe Avenue and so on.All being said, Namibia functions well.It is a stable democracy with rule of law, an independent judiciary (the government sometimes loses cases), relatively free markets and low crime by African (and European) standards. Immigration law is tight too. Having seen the problems stemming from mass immigration into South Africa, Namibia has taken a more controlled approach.Indeed I heard repeated frustrations from mining companies trying to obtain visas for geologists and mining engineers where the local expertise either does not exist or is employed elsewhere.Official unemployment is 37%, but I heard from several different sources that the real number is above 50%. 50%! Very sad.Nominal GDP per capita sits around US$5,000, roughly double that adjusted for purchasing power, which puts it above most of sub-Saharan Africa. The World Bank classifies Namibia as a lower-middle-income country, alongside countries such as Albania, Argentina and Belize. But these numbers are misleading.The country has vast wealth through its natural resources and related industries: uranium, copper, diamonds, fishing and tourism. Spread that revenue across just 3 million people and the averages look impressive.There is also serious rural poverty.Namibia combines first-world infrastructure with third-world unemployment.The currency is pegged to the South African rand, not one I would have chosen. Official inflation sits in the 2-3% range.About 88% of the country's sovereign debt is held domestically, and there appears to be healthy demand for its bonds. The country has also recently begun a sovereign wealth fund, which is reportedly growing at an impressive 16% since 2022. The central bank has recently also implemented a gold acquisition programme. Kudos.The country has high institutional savings and one the larger stock exchanges in sub-Saharan Africa.Food is cheap, protein in particular. The country has an enormous cattle herd, almost as large as its population. Recent outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in neighbouring countries are therefore a cause for concern, as you can imagine. (Not my bag, but I reckon there is an opportunity exporting Namibian biltong to the UK, where it is expensive. I brought back loads). Other goods, however, can be expensive because the country relies heavily on imports.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.The main industries - tourism and natural resourcesPorts are expanding. The railways are not great, though I hear they will be improved. The roads, however, are excellent, as I said. Namibia is also the world's third-largest uranium producer after Kazakhstan and Canada. Chinese interests hold majority stakes in the country's three largest uranium mines, not to mention other metals.Oil and gas have recently been discovered offshore. Shell plc is one of the pioneers.As for gold, Namibia only really became a meaningful gold player after independence, since when roughly 15 million ounces have been discovered, much of it alongside copper. Among the larger players is B2 Gold (BTO.TO), which is well known in the country. Large parts of the country remain un- or under-explored. And I think that is where a lot of the big opportuities lie.There also appear to be rare earth deposits in some abundance. Kendrik Resources (KEN.L) recently made some progress here. Solar, wind and hydrogen projects are also attracting investment tooChinese money helped build the SWAPO headquarters, and they are investing significantly in mines in the country. Of note is that the USA recently spent heavily developing their embassy. It is big. Former Trump attorney John Giordano is now ambassador, a surprisingly high -profile appointment for such a low-profile country.One theory I heard repeatedly was that, given deteriorating US relations with South Africa, Washington increasingly sees Namibia as strategically important in terms of Atlantic access, energy routes and influence in the south Atlantic. Not quite the Panama Canal or Strait of Hormuz, but it could be something of a chokepoint. Namibia feels like a country at the cusp of something.It has space, resources, energy, political stability and strategic importance.Next week I want to look in more detail at Namibia as an investment destination, particularly its mining sector, where some very interesting things may be developing.My thanks go to to Rowland Brown and Chanel Marais of Cirrus Capital for bringing me to Namibia and for organizing what was a brilliant and instructuve conference.Thank you for reading the Flying Frisby.Until next time,Dominic This is a public episode.

This week's guest episode features photographer and creative director Dave Hashim, whose work has become instantly recognizable across the running world. Dave joins Peter Bromka and Erika Kemp to talk about photographing some of the sport's biggest moments, balancing creative work with endurance training, and recently completing the brutal Marathon des Sables stage race through the Moroccan Sahara Desert.The conversation dives into the reality of race photography, what it takes to capture emotion inside the chaos of marathoning, and why understanding the sport matters just as much as understanding the camera. They also discuss the creative side of running campaigns, the difference between trail and road culture, how photographers and athletes work together on major brand shoots, and why the best running photos often come from the least polished moments.Thank you to our sponsors!Noogs makes fueling simple with easy-to-digest chews designed for runners who want reliable carbs without overcomplicating nutrition.

Have you ever felt like you're so caught up in your daily roles and responsibilities that you've lost touch with who you are beneath all of that? Dr. Stacey Funt, a radiologist, health coach, and founder of LH Adventure Travel, believes that travel has the power to help us reconnect: not just with the world around us, but with ourselves. She curates wellness and adventure group trips for women to some of the most transformative destinations on earth, from trekking the Inca Trail to exploring the Atlas Mountains to hiking in the Himalayas. But the real transformation doesn't come from the destinations themselves. It comes from what happens when women finally give themselves permission to step away from everything they're responsible for and into an experience that's entirely their own. Dr. Stacey Funt and I discuss why that permission is often the hardest part, what changes when you remove the mental load of planning and managing everything, and why traveling with a group of like-minded women creates such a unique space for vulnerability and connection. She also opens up about how a solo trek in Nepal during one of the darkest periods of her life became the catalyst for building a business around creating these kinds of experiences for others.

After five months (maybe more?) between episodes, Gavin and Ken are back – and with WDC 2026 Athens about to happen, what better time to get the tournament organiser, Spyros Dovas, on the show to talk about everything you can expect from rocking up to Greece this year. Intro Gavin and Ken kick off the show with cheers and reintroduce the podcast after a hiatus of over five months (0 mins 10 secs) Gavin explains the gap – his move away from Brisbane has made catching up with Ken less frequent, and a previously recorded episode went out of date before it could be released (1 min 30 secs) Gavin flags he's still searching for employment and shares his brief, unsuccessful foray into applying at Dan Murphy's – though he remains a loyal patron (3 mins) Ken notes that Gavin is heading to a certain upcoming tournament, and Gavin confirms he'll be attending WDC 2026 in Athens – flying via Singapore and living something closer to backpacker than five-star (4 mins 30 secs) Gavin talks about his travel plans, including the Athens itinerary, flying before the Middle East situation affected routes, and his fondness for Singapore's airport (6 mins) Gavin reflects that while he's been to Greece before, it's been about twenty years – and this time he'll be doing things differently (8 mins) Interview with Spyros Dovas – WDC 2026 Organiser Gavin introduces Spyros as the tournament organiser for WDC 2026 (as distinct from Tournament Director Jamal Blakkarly) and hands over to him (9 mins 30 secs) Spyros explains how the venue came to be chosen – rather than a downtown Athens hotel, his wife suggested the beachside suburb of Saronida, about half an hour from central Athens, which he knows well (10 mins 30 secs) Spyros describes the venue logistics: as registrations grew, he booked an auxiliary venue nearby so there's now capacity for even a very large crowd (13 mins) Gavin asks Spyros to make the pitch: why should people come to WDC 2026 in Greece? Spyros covers the competitive angle (previous world champions, strong contingents from the US, Australia, and across Europe), the community experience, the setting, the weather, and the pricing advantages of being just before peak tourist season (14 mins 30 secs) They discuss the FOMO build-up section on the official WDC website (17 mins 30 secs) Spyros outlines the pre-tournament activities organised for Wednesday and Thursday (18 mins 30 secs): Wednesday – a day trip to the island of Hydra, departing from Saronida to Piraeus and taking the fast boat across (approx. 1.5 hrs) Thursday – a guided tour of the Acropolis with what Spyros describes as the best guides operating there, followed by a walk through Plaka and the historic centre, lunch by the sea, and an evening trip to watch the sunset from the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon Gavin enthuses about the Hydra day trip and reflects on the island's significance to Greek identity, noting it's less well-known internationally than Santorini or Mykonos but stunning (23 mins) Gavin shares that he's already visited the Acropolis and Parthenon once before, about twenty years ago with his family, but is genuinely excited to experience it again with expert local guides (25 mins) They discuss accommodation in Saronida – Spyros notes a good range from five-star hotels to Airbnbs at reasonable prices for this time of year, though availability is diminishing and people should book soon. He offers to assist anyone having difficulty (27 mins) Gavin mentions the Athens neighbourhood guide Spyros has put together – a Google Map indicating where to stay, where to avoid, and the character of different areas – inspired by advice Spyros gave his own son who is now studying at Bocconi University in Milan (29 mins) Gavin asks whether anyone stands out as a favourite to win. Spyros diplomatically declines to name names, noting at least a dozen players who wouldn't surprise him as champion – which he says makes the tournament all the more exciting to watch (32 mins 30 secs) They discuss the tournament format: four rounds in total, with a Friday afternoon opening round (around 5pm, to accommodate European day-of-travel arrivals), two rounds on Saturday, and Sunday morning featuring a top board alongside competitive play for all remaining players (35 mins) Gavin asks about the name of Spyros's Athens Diplomacy club – "The Gift Bearers" – and its tagline "Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts," which Spyros explains is a reference to Virgil's line about the Trojan War, chosen for its local resonance and edge. He also confirms there will be a welcome gift bag for all players at check-in (37 mins 30 secs) Gavin admits to attempting to read the Iliad in preparation and finding the going tough; Spyros explains that even modern Greeks find Homeric Greek fairly obscure, and discusses the remarkable linguistic density of ancient Greek compared to contemporary languages (40 mins) Spyros previews content he still plans to publish on the WDC website: a food guide covering local dishes people shouldn't miss and how to approach them, plus recommendations for experiencing authentic Greek nightlife and an Orthodox church service on Sunday morning (43 mins) They wrap up the interview with Spyros reassuring any hesitant attendees that Greece is safe, welcoming, English-friendly, and set up for international visitors (48 mins) Ken wraps up by expressing his jealousy and thanking Spyros (50 mins) Spyros signs off, noting the first round is exactly two months away from the recording date.

Ce sommet Afrique-France qui se tient à Nairobi « est une occasion de renforcer la coopération franco-africaine », titre le journal kenyan Daily Nation, qui rappelle que « c'est la première fois que ce sommet, créé en 1973, se tient dans un pays anglophone. » L'économie sera au cœur de cet événement, avec des objectifs de partenariats dans différents domaines, tels que les technologies numériques, le financement climatique ou encore le développement des infrastructures. D'après le Daily Nation, c'est une aubaine pour Nairobi sur le plan international : « le Kenya explorera des pistes d'accord pour consolider ses relations commerciales avec la France, dans une démarche qui semble clairement viser à attirer davantage d'investissements directs étrangers », analyse le journal, qui se réjouit par ailleurs de « la confiance accordée à Nairobi sur la scène diplomatique internationale ». Du point de vue de Paris, « le sommet devrait aussi contribuer à dissiper l'idée selon laquelle l'ancienne puissance coloniale, accusée d'exploiter les nations africaines francophones, chercherait aujourd'hui à conquérir de nouveaux territoires à son seul profit », conclut le Daily Nation. À lire aussiAfrica Forward à Nairobi, un sommet coorganisé par Kenya et France à l'accent très économique L'opposition à ce sommet est bien présente The Standard, autre média kenyan, évoque des manifestations et notamment un contre-sommet parallèle, organisé à Nairobi par les organisations de la société civile, qui qualifient Africa Forward de « tentative de la France de réinstaurer une influence néocoloniale ». « Le sommet France-Afrique n'est ni un geste de bonne volonté, ni une plateforme de partenariat égalitaire. Il s'agit d'une offensive de recolonisation impérialiste rebaptisée », dénonce l'organisateur du contre-sommet, cité dans les lignes du journal. Les nouvelles ambitions de Paris à Nairobi intriguent aussi le Djely, à Conakry, qui s'interroge : « L'Afrique anglophone suffira-t-elle au bonheur de la France ? » « Ces changements sont en partie dictés par les déboires que la France a connus ces dernières années en Afrique. Ce sont surtout les crises essuyées par Paris au Sahel ainsi que dans des pays comme le Sénégal ou le Tchad qui ont accéléré cette dynamique débouchant sur l'organisation d'Africa Forward », estime le média guinéen. « Il est difficile de ne pas voir, dans cette nouvelle politique africaine de la France, une volonté de s'extirper de l'inextricable débat mémoriel hérité du passé colonial avec les pays francophones », poursuit le Djely. « La France pourra-t-elle réellement compenser la perte de son ancien pré carré ? Rien n'est moins sûr, selon le journal, car s'il est vrai que les relations entre Paris et des capitales comme Abuja ou Pretoria se sont renforcées ces dernières années, la France accuse néanmoins un retard considérable face à ses concurrents, notamment chinois et indiens. » « Dans quelques années, il sera possible d'évaluer cette évolution qui n'en est encore qu'à ses débuts, rappelle le Djely. Mais, pour l'heure, on y voit moins un changement qu'un déménagement. » Maurice Freund, le fou volant du Sahel, s'est éteint C'est le titre d'un article d'Afrik.com, qui rend hommage au fondateur de l'agence de voyage Point-Afrique, décédé le 9 mai dernier, à l'âge de 83 ans. « Surnommé le "fou volant" du Sahara, pionnier du voyage solidaire, il aura passé sa vie à désenclaver les marges sahéliennes, raconte le média, qui confie perdre aussi un soutien fidèle de ses premières années. » « Depuis les débuts du site, Maurice Freund nous avait soutenus. Il répondait présent lorsqu'il fallait comprendre le Sahel autrement que depuis Paris. Il parlait franchement, corrigeait, contredisait, obligeait à vérifier. Sa connaissance du terrain, parfois rugueuse, nous a aidés à mieux regarder cette région que tant de commentateurs découvrent seulement lorsqu'elle brûle », poursuit Afrik.com, racontant ensuite que l'homme « pouvait être abrupt, autoritaire, parfois impossible à suivre. Mais ceux qui l'ont accompagné ne l'ont jamais regretté. Il avait chez lui une fidélité obstinée aux hommes du désert, conclut le site, et les distinctions lui importaient moins que la reconnaissance des équipes locales. » À lire aussiMaurice Freund - Episode 2: «Momo l'Africain»
« La voie de la négociation est plus utile et plus douce que celle des armes. » Voilà ce que disait l'un des négociateurs de Louis XIV. Mais l'actualité récente, qu'elle nous emmène en Iran, au Venezuela ou en Ukraine, nous pousse à nous demander si la diplomatie est morte. Ou bien si elle prend d'autres formes… Soumises aux réseaux sociaux, tributaires de plus en plus d'intérêts privés, et semblant balayées d'un revers de main par un président américain qui cultive l'unilatéralisme comme une force.

El contencioso sobre el Sáhara Occidental, comenzó en el año 1975 cuando Marruecos se anexionó ese territorio con la llamada "Marcha Verde". Esa operación, organizada por el entonces rey de Marruecos, Hassan II, movilizó a 350.000 civiles marroquíes para apoderarse de un territorio de 266.000 kilómetros cuadrados. El 27 de Febrero de 1976 España se retiró definitivamente del Sáhara Occidental y el Frente Polisario proclamó la República Árabe, Saharaui Democrática, en Tinduf, Argelia. Desde entonces se han producido muchos hechos relevantes y resumiendo, llegamos al año 2026 con un conflicto no solucionado, enquistado y un pueblo abandonado ante los intereses económicos y geopolíticos de varias potencias. En el programa de esta semana analizamos la situación con Abdullah Arabi, representante del Frente Polisario en España, con Luis Portillo, Doctor en Ciencias Económica por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y autor de libro "En Defensa de la Causa Saharaui"- (Editorial Círculo Rojo) - y con Isaías Barreñada, Doctor en Relaciones Internacionales por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid.Escuchar audio

If you enjoy honest stories and practical travel planning, this solo chat is for you.I talk through the places that keep calling me back, including Morocco, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa and Scotland, plus the destinations that still tug at my heart when I think about the memories and the people I met. You'll hear why I'm not interested in ticking off countries, how returning for a deeper experience changes your itinerary, and why Morocco in particular completely exceeded my expectations, from the souks to the Sahara to the Atlas Mountains.We also get into the planning side: what I always do when I arrive (food tours are my favourite first move), the biggest mistake travellers make when building an itinerary, and how I break trip planning into clear steps so it doesn't feel overwhelming. I also share how I balance booking the essentials with leaving room for spontaneity, plus five travel tips I live by, including shoulder season travel, travel insurance, staying central, booking key experiences early, and learning a few words of the local language.If you've got a trip on the horizon, download our free trip planning workbook - it'll help you turn all of this into a plan you can actually use.And if you enjoyed this episode, sharing it with a fellow traveller is the best way to help more people find the show.Show notes - Episode 95Support the show
Dans l'actualité sportive des derniers jours – Le PSG qui avait brillé la semaine dernière en Champions League n'a pas pu faire mieux qu'un match nul en Ligue 1 cette semaine ; les Lyonnaises se qualifient pour la finale de la Ligue des Champions féminine ; et, fin de la conférence Sahara du Basketball Africa League 2026.
Chris Petermnn has been cycling across the world for four years. When he set out to cross the Sahara on the final leg of his Africa circumnavigation, he was craving one silence. After months of never being alone in West Africa, the desert felt like it might finally offer him some peace. Unfortunately, what he got instead was 1,500 kilometres of relentless headwind.In this Tuesday snippet, Chris takes us through his ride north from Nouakchott in Mauritania, through Western Sahara and up toward the Atlas Mountains. Fair to say it was a stretch that pushed him to rock bottom more than once. He talks about sandstorms, sleep deprivation and a strange sense of envy from watching other cyclists cruise past with the wind at their backs.It's a raw and honest account of what long-distance cycling in one of the world's most extreme environments actually feels like and how the headwind becomes a relentless mental battle.

Despite fluctuations in its price, gold continues to fuel economies and often greed across Africa. Deep in the Sahara, in Mauritania, extraction sites are multiplying across the desert. In the past few years, this gold rush has become a key pillar of the Mauritanian economy. FRANCE 24's Sarah Sakho and Simon Martin report.
Imaginez une dune de sable qui émet un son grave, continu, presque musical, comme un bourdonnement ou le vrombissement d'un moteur lointain. Ce phénomène, appelé « chant des dunes », est observé dans plusieurs régions du monde, notamment dans le Sahara ou dans le désert de Gobi. Et contrairement aux apparences, il ne s'agit ni d'un mystère ni d'un simple effet du vent : c'est un phénomène physique très précis.Tout commence avec la structure du sable. Pour que les dunes chantent, leurs grains doivent être relativement homogènes, souvent compris entre 0,1 et 0,5 millimètre de diamètre. Ils doivent aussi être très secs, propres et légèrement arrondis. Ces conditions sont essentielles, car elles permettent aux grains de glisser les uns sur les autres de manière régulière.Le son apparaît lors d'avalanches de sable. Lorsque la pente d'une dune devient instable — par exemple sous l'effet du vent ou du passage d'un randonneur — une couche superficielle de sable se met à s'écouler. Des milliers, voire des millions de grains entrent alors en mouvement simultanément.Ce qui est fascinant, c'est que ces grains ne bougent pas de manière chaotique. Ils se synchronisent. En glissant, ils entrent en collision et produisent de petites vibrations. Mais au lieu de s'annuler, ces vibrations s'alignent progressivement, un peu comme des musiciens qui se mettent au même rythme. Ce phénomène de synchronisation transforme un bruit désordonné en une onde sonore cohérente et amplifiée.La dune agit alors comme une caisse de résonance naturelle. Le son émis est généralement grave, avec des fréquences comprises entre 70 et 110 hertz. Il peut durer plusieurs secondes, parfois même plusieurs minutes, tant que l'avalanche se poursuit. Dans certains cas, le volume sonore peut atteindre 100 décibels, soit l'équivalent d'un marteau-piqueur.Ce mécanisme repose sur des principes proches de ceux étudiés en acoustique et en physique des milieux granulaires. La clé réside dans la cohérence du mouvement : si les grains ne sont pas suffisamment uniformes ou si le sable est humide, la synchronisation disparaît… et le silence revient.Le chant des dunes montre ainsi qu'un simple amas de sable peut se comporter comme un système organisé, capable de produire un signal sonore structuré. Un phénomène rare, exigeant, mais parfaitement explicable. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Lilias Trotter was a woman who did not fit the mold of her Victorian era. Born in 1853 into upper-class England, she was an exceptionally gifted artist mentored by John Ruskin, one of the most prominent art critics of her time. Yet, rather than pursuing conventional success and artistic fame, she chose a path of surrender—one that blended beauty, compassion, and deep spiritual vocation. She has much to teach us about a life of joyful surrender to God's gentle leading.Did you know? Lilias Trotter inspired the famous hymn, Fix Your Eyes Upon Jesus – yes, so that “all things will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”Stephanie welcomes Jennifer Trafton, who just released “If only we could see”, a wonderful new biography of Lilias Trotter. Jennifer explains how she became captivated with Lilias, whose “adventurous, interesting, fascinating life” radiated with childlike delight, generosity, and profound love for God. Victorian artist and missionary Lilias Trotter teaches us much about the practice of “seeing”—both literally and spiritually— and how it transforms us and the world around us.Lilias's training as an artist under Ruskin taught her to “see well”—not just the details of nature, but the overlooked people in her society. She moved from painting to working with the most impoverished communities in London, especially young women vulnerable in the city. In partnership with movements like the YWCA and revivalist preacher D.L. Moody, Lilias dedicated herself to listening, serving, and providing safety and practical help for working-class girls and women subject to exploitation and trafficking.Her artistry was inseparable from her love for people. This “way of seeing”—attentive, joyful, and present—became her creative and spiritual calling. Lilias's vision challenges us to integrate our gifts and passions into practical love for others.A key metaphor for Lilias's life is the dandelion—“full face to the sun” (representing Christ), then surrendered as seeds blown by the wind of the Holy Spirit to places and purposes beyond our control. Lilias did not chase worldly success. Lilias believed in offering her life freely to God, trusting Him to use every skill, experience, or seeming detour for His glory. The measure of a “successful life” is not accomplishment or recognition, but faithfulness and openness to the Spirit.The lesson of Lilias's life is that we are all called to both see others as Christ sees them, and to rest in the assurance that we ourselves are fully seen and loved by God. Her legacy is less about artistic fame and more about the deep creative, transformative hospitality she brought to every relationship.Lilias Trotter's “beautiful life” continues to inspire because she shows that to be fully present, fully surrendered, and fully attentive is to live in step with God's purposes. Whether you're an artist or not, her story invites you to open your eyes and your life, so that God's glory and gladness shine out through you, in Christ Jesus.Next Steps for You!· Practice seeing: Pay attention—to beauty, to overlooked people, to God's presence in the present moment.· Surrender your gifts: Offer your unique talents, passions, and opportunities to God without demanding a particular outcome.· Root yourself in your belovedness through Christ: Know that, like Lilias, your worth is secure in being seen by God—which frees you to serve, love, and see others anew.· Let your life be scattered as seed, trusting Christ's Holy Spirit to bear fruit, however and whenever God chooses.MORE ABOUT “IF ONLY WE COULD SEE”“God only knows the endless possibilities that lie enfolded in each of us.” – Lilias TrotterIn the late 19th century, Lilias Trotter stood at the threshold of artistic fame, her extraordinary talent praised by the renowned critic John Ruskin. Yet, at the height of her promise, she made a radical choice that would define the course of her life. Turning away from worldly recognition and social convention, she forged her own path—one that led her through the roughest streets of London and, ultimately, to the deserts of North Africa. There, her artistic and spiritual journeys intertwined as she expanded the many-colored canvas of her creativity to embrace not only the sweeping vistas of the Sahara, but also the lives of the Arab people she loved.Blending biography, personal engagement, and theological reflection, Trafton takes readers on an intimate journey with Lily as her friends knew her – a visionary who saw the world with an artist's eye and a missionary's heart, and whose imaginative empathy and creative compassion transformed the lives of those she encountered. More than the story of one remarkable woman, this book is an invitation to experience the beauty of creation with fresh wonder, to look at our neighbors through new lenses, and to discover what “beautiful possible life” awaits each one of us as we follow the call of the Divine Artist.MORE ABOUT JENNIFER TRAFTONJennifer Trafton is a storyteller and artist with a passion for exploring the intersections of faith, creativity, and the arts. She studied church history and theology at Wake Forest University, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Duke University, focusing on the 19th-century writer George MacDonald and his influence on Christian views of the imagination. After serving as managing editor of Christian History & Biography magazine and a curriculum writer and editor for the StoneWorks Global Arts Initiative, she has been a regular conference speaker, writer, teacher, editor, and illustrator for the Nashville-based Rabbit Room creative community for over a decade. Her first two novels for children, The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic and Henry and the Chalk Dragon, received starred reviews and multiple award nominations, and she has since collaborated on or contributed to a wide array of projects including The Wingfeather Tales, The Lost Tales of Sir Galahad, Every Moment Holy, Vol. III: The Work of the People, and J. R. R. Tolkien and the Arts: A Theology of Subcreation. She recently illustrated Glad and Golden Hours: A Companion for Advent and Christmastide by Lanier Ivester (Rabbit Room Press, 2024).“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible – or they've kinda lost sight of it along the way.In "Awaken Delight," I'm inviting you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight in God— not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is. Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you will learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable."Awaken Delight" is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued, and ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.Find out more at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Support us on Gospel Spice, PayPal and Venmo!
Sahara Lotti is the founder and CEO of Lashify, the beauty brand that created the world's first at-home lash extension system and completely redefined what DIY beauty could look like.But her path here had nothing to do with beauty. It had everything to do with refusing to quit.Sahara was an Iranian immigrant who grew up in Silicon Valley and never quite felt like she fit in. Before Lashify, she spent years as an actress and screenwriter in Hollywood, hustling on the side and building businesses out of sheer resourcefulness. Beauty wasn't superficial for her. It was tied to confidence, to belonging, to feeling like she had a place in the room. So when she discovered lash extensions and felt truly beautiful for the first time, she was hooked. Then her lash technician got pregnant, the replacement wasn't as good, and she went looking for a DIY solution and found absolutely nothing. For most people, that's the end of the story. For Sahara, it was the beginning.She melted wire in her kitchen. Filed patents before she told a single factory what she was building. Flew to Korea to convince a manufacturer to build something that had never existed. And launched Lashify on sheer obsession. Today Lashify holds more than 750 global patents, has become a celebrity favorite, and recently secured a landmark $30.5 million legal victory against counterfeit manufacturers.Sahara tells it like it is and in this episode she gets into all of it.

Au XIVe siècle, alors que la majorité des hommes ne s'éloignent jamais de leur région natale, Ibn Battûta parcourt près de 120 000 kilomètres à travers le monde connu. Un exploit inégalé pour son époque, qui fait de lui l'un des plus grands voyageurs de l'histoire.Né en 1304 à Tanger, au Maroc, dans une famille de juristes musulmans, il est destiné à une carrière de juge. Mais à 21 ans, il décide de partir en pèlerinage à La Mecque. Ce voyage, qui devait durer quelques mois, va finalement se transformer en une aventure de près de trente ans.Très vite, Ibn Battûta ne se contente plus de suivre les routes classiques. Il explore l'Afrique du Nord, traverse l'Égypte, remonte le Nil, puis atteint la péninsule arabique. Après son pèlerinage, au lieu de rentrer chez lui, il continue. Il se rend en Irak, en Perse, en Anatolie, puis jusqu'aux steppes d'Asie centrale.Son parcours le mène ensuite en Inde, où il entre au service du sultan de Delhi comme juge. Il y reste plusieurs années, avant d'être envoyé en mission diplomatique vers la Chine. Sur le chemin, il passe par les Maldives, où il exerce encore comme juge, puis par le Sri Lanka et l'Asie du Sud-Est.Arrivé en Chine, il découvre une civilisation fascinante, très différente du monde islamique qu'il connaît. Il décrit des villes immenses, des systèmes administratifs avancés et une richesse culturelle impressionnante.Mais ses voyages ne s'arrêtent pas là. De retour au Maroc, il repart encore, cette fois vers l'Afrique subsaharienne. Il traverse le Sahara et atteint l'empire du Mali, l'un des plus riches de son temps, célèbre pour ses ressources en or.Ce qui rend Ibn Battûta unique, ce n'est pas seulement la distance parcourue, mais la diversité des mondes qu'il explore. Il observe, compare, raconte. À la fin de sa vie, le sultan du Maroc lui demande de dicter ses souvenirs. Cela donnera naissance à la “Rihla”, un récit de voyage exceptionnel, à la fois témoignage historique et œuvre littéraire.À travers ses descriptions, on découvre un monde médiéval étonnamment connecté, où circulent marchands, savants et idées.Ibn Battûta meurt vers 1368, probablement au Maroc. Son héritage est immense : il a laissé l'un des récits les plus riches jamais écrits sur le monde du Moyen Âge.En réalité, bien avant l'ère des avions et des GPS, il avait déjà compris une chose essentielle : voyager, c'est découvrir les autres… mais aussi élargir les frontières de son propre monde.

Jonathan and Gary interview nightlife and marketing executive Ronn Nicolli, now leading marketing and guest experience for the Meruelo Group at Sahara. Ronn discusses his new role and efforts to add cultural relevance while leaning into Sahara's 75-year history, including work with Las Vegas archives, hosting Sammy Davis Jr.'s family, and gifting Mike Tyson a framed historic Sahara boxing photo. He reflects on North Strip dynamics and why nearby resorts' success matters for foot traffic, then traces his path from Ohio to Vegas, early jobs, and rise from street promoter at Wynn to major nightlife projects like Tryst and XS, sharing lessons about brand identity, detail, and wow factor from Steve Wynn. He closes with advice on taking risks, hard work, and mentoring the next generation in hospitality.
If you resonate with my work, I can say this with full confidence. You are a Lemurian soul. We are mermaids here. We are sexy, we are fun, but we are spiritual and we are deep. We are sensitive, we are emotional, we go through ebbs and flows. And we get sexier on the other side. That is the Lemurian frequency. I am bringing on transformational guide and Ancient Soul Remembrance retreat host Aishra to break down everything. What Lemuria actually was, how to know if you are a Lemurian soul, and why the dolphins and whales are calling us home. In this episode we explore:
This episode was recorded on March 30th before Des left for Morocco. She is now in her 4th stage of the Marathon de Sables and absolutely crushing it across the Sahara. You can check the live results via the "LiveTrail" app. She's currently 4th overall female after 3 stages with the big 100K stage up next. The podium is within reach! Go Des! In this episode, Des and Kara break down the start lists for the Boston Marathon and tell you what to expect at the front of the races - who are the favorites, who might win, and what to expect from the top Americans. They also talk Boston tactics and how those have evolved with the advent of super shoes. It's less than 2 weeks to Marathon Monday... let's go! Note: Since the recording, Conner Mantz, Natosha Rogers, Megan Sailor, and Gabi Rooker have all withdrawn from the race.
Cue the latest running controversy because it had been a few weeks. But first (!), Kara and Des update you on their lives including the latest race from Colt, and of course, Des's final preparation for Marathon des Sables. She will soon be running self-supported across the Sahara desert. In fact, she lands in Morocco on the very day this episode posts. Go Des... we are ALL cheering for you! Then if you missed it, Emma Bates posted on IG about getting "dropped" by UCAN (her nutrition sponsor) because of her pregnancy. Naturally, the world came to her defense, and now Emma is sharing more of her story on Ali Feller's podcast. Kara is no stranger to this issue, so she and Des dig into it, raising some good questions on the topic as well as a host of related ones. The short answer is... it's complicated, as many things are for athletes that are contractors and not in-house employees. Overall though, more rights and support for pregnant athletes is needed, and Alysia Montaño and Allyson Felix are leading the way. If you want to help, then put your time, energy, and money behind their work! Finally, we want to thank Lagoon for supporting the podcast (as well as Emma Bates even through her pregnancy)!

In this episode I brought back Philipp, founder of Leela Quantum Technologies and Quantum Upgrade, to answer all of your burning questions about EMFs, 5G, electric cars, AirPods and what we can actually do about it. And some of what he shares genuinely stopped me in my tracks. This is not a fear based conversation. It is a solutions based one. Because Philipp has dedicated his life to figuring out how we can live and thrive in this modern world without having to move to the middle of nowhere. In this episode we explore:
Wir springen in dieser Folge nach Algerien, wo im Jahr 1880 zwei fanzösische Expeditionen aufbrechen, um eines der ambitioniertesten Technologieprojekte des 19. Jahrhunderts vorzubereiten. Anfängliche Euphorie weicht aber bald der Erkenntnis, dass die Sahara weitaus gefährlicher und unwirtlicher ist, als in den Ministerien und Salons in Paris angenommen. Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über Paul Flatters und die nach ihm benannten Expeditionen durch die Sahara, die nicht nur in einer Katastrophe enden, sondern den Mann auch lange Zeit in Vergessenheit geraten lassen. // Erwähnte Folgen - GAG542: Eine Kaiserin der Franzosen - https://gadg.fm/542 - GAG408: Das kurze und tragische Leben des Évariste Galois - https://gadg.fm/408 - GAG496: Sophie Germain - https://gadg.fm/496 - GAG272: Am Ende der Welt - Napoleons letzte Jahre im Exil - https://gadg.fm/272 - GAG417: Auf der Suche nach den Quellen des Nils - https://gadg.fm/417 - GAG100: Der Fall der „Mignonette“ und seine Folgen - https://gadg.fm/100 - GAG525: HB04 – Tödliche Abkürzung & Die Seekuh, die kam und verschwand - https://gadg.fm/525 - GAG472: Die Antoninische Pest - https://gadg.fm/472 // Literatur - Bernard, Frédéric (1851-1927).
