In Kevin Staples' mind, there was always a point where the trip would end. He didn't expect to get through. The goal wasn't success — it was simply to go far enough to say he'd tried. To ride up to the wall, touch it, and be told to turn back. So he kept doing exactly that. Showing up. Asking the question. Taking one more step, fully expecting it to be the last. That isn't how it played out. By the time Kevin rode his motorcycle home, the road — and the world around him — looked very different than it had when he left.

In this episode of Amateur Traveler, host Chris Christensen talks with AJ Ajay, a Libyan-born travel professional and founder of Intu Libya, about traveling to one of North Africa's least-visited and most misunderstood destinations: Libya. From spectacular Roman ruins to Saharan oases, ancient Amazigh towns, and the vibrant streets of Tripoli, AJ explains why Libya rewards travelers who are curious, respectful, and willing to look beyond headlines. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here. Why Visit Libya? Libya offers a rare sense of discovery. With tourism largely undeveloped since the mid-20th century, many of its historic sites feel untouched. AJ describes Libya as a country where Roman, Greek, Phoenician, Ottoman, Italian, and Islamic histories overlap, often in the same physical space. Add to that Mediterranean coastline, vast Saharan landscapes, and deep-rooted traditions of hospitality, and Libya becomes a destination for travelers seeking something truly different. Safety, Visas, and Practicalities Chris and AJ address the elephant in the room: safety and travel advisories. AJ explains how Libya currently operates with an electronic visa system that requires a local sponsor and organized itinerary. Tourism is tightly coordinated with authorities, and travel routes are planned in advance. While some regions remain off-limits, AJ emphasizes that millions of Libyans live their daily lives safely and that guided travel within approved areas is the key to visiting responsibly. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-libya/ Learn more about your ad choices.

658. Part 2 of our conversation with Scott Tilton. Scott is the Co-Founder and Director of the Nous Foundation, a platform for exchange between Louisiana and the French-speaking world. He lived the past several years in Paris where he worked as a consultant at Ernst & Young France on projects for the European Union, the UN, and the French Government. While in Paris, Scott launched and spearheaded an initiative that saw Louisiana become the first U.S. state to join the International Organization of the Francophonie (La Francophonie).

George Washington Cable. “Café des Exiles.” An antiquated story-and-a-half Creole cottage sitting right down on the banquette, as do the Choctaw squaws who sell bay and sassafras and life-everlasting, with a high, close board-fence shutting out of view the diminutive garden on the southern side. An ancient willow droops over the roof of round tiles, and partly hides the discolored stucco, which keeps dropping off into the garden as though the old café was stripping for the plunge into oblivion — disrobing for its execution. I see, well up in the angle of the broad side gable, shaded by its rude awning of clapboards, as the eyes of an old dame are shaded by her wrinkled hand, the window of Pauline. Oh for the image of the maiden, were it but for one moment, leaning out of the casement to hang her mocking-bird and looking down into the garden, — where, above the barrier of old boards, I see the top of the fig-tree, the pale green clump of bananas, the tall palmetto with its jagged crown, Pauline's own two orange-trees holding up their hands toward the window, heavy with the promises of autumn; the broad, crimson mass of the many-stemmed oleander, and the crisp boughs of the pomegranate loaded with freckled apples, and with here and there a lingering scarlet blossom. This week in Louisiana history. December 27, 1814. Jackson's men repell a British reconnaissance force near Rodriguez Canal. This week in New Orleans history. Jean Étienne de Boré (December 27, 1741 – February 1, 1820) was the first Mayor of New Orleans. His wife, Marie Marguerite d'Estrehan, came from one of the most prominent families of colonial Louisiana; her father, Jean Baptiste d'Estrehan, was the Royal Treasurer of French Louisiana. Etienne owned a plantation a few miles above the City of New Orleans. There he had originally cultivated indigo. But when this product lost its market as a result of competition from Guatemala, he turned his attention to the manufacture of sugar. On his estate he set up a sugar mill and there, in 1795, had, with the aid of two Cubans, Mendez and Lopez, succeeded in producing the first granulated sugar ever known in the colony, with the result that agriculture was completely revolutionized. He was appointed mayor by Governor William C. C. Claiborne in 1803; he resigned to look after his personal affairs the following year. He died at around 80 years old, and is buried in New Orleans' Saint Louis Cemetery No. 1. One of his daughters was the mother of Louisiana historian Charles Gayarré. This week in Louisiana.

A rushed arrest, a collapsing case, and a sensational trial that put everyone on display.Part Two picks up immediately after the arrest of Clifford Hayes, the first man charged in the Hall Mills murders. We break down how police built a case on a coerced confession, why it quickly fell apart, and how Hayes was cleared while Raymond Schneider was convicted of perjury instead. From there, the investigation lurches forward through botched evidence, unreliable witnesses, and a courtroom spectacle that culminates in the infamous 1926 trial of Frances Hall and her family. We unpack the prosecution's theories, the defense's brutal dismantling of key testimony, and how the trial ultimately left the case exactly where it started, unresolved, controversial, and haunted by what might have been done differently.Edited by Maxwell Holechek

Transcript:Sr: Док је зима облагала камене улице Сплита, празнични дух разливао се дуж обале Јадранског мора.En: As winter covered the stone streets of Split, the holiday spirit spread along the coast of the Adriatic Sea.Sr: Свака светлост на променадама блистала је као звезда која је украшавала небо.En: Every light on the promenades shone like a star decorating the sky.Sr: Иза очаравајућих светала, мирис куваног вина и смех туриста стварао је топлину у хладној ноћи.En: Behind the enchanting lights, the scent of mulled wine and the laughter of tourists created warmth in the cold night.Sr: Током ових свечарних тренутака, младић Вук ходао је сам, полако се крећући кроз шеталиште.En: During these festive moments, a young man named Vuk walked alone, slowly moving through the promenade.Sr: Био је из Београда, волио је да истражује нове крајеве, али усамљеност га је често пратила.En: He was from Belgrade, loved exploring new places, but loneliness often followed him.Sr: Његова резерва спречавала га је да се отвара људима.En: His reserve prevented him from opening up to people.Sr: Али у тој гомили, нешто је требало да се промени.En: But in that crowd, something was about to change.Sr: Насупрот њему, Јелена из Новог Сада весело је кренула дуж обале.En: Opposite him, Jelena from Novi Sad cheerfully strolled along the coast.Sr: Била је ведра и авантуристичког духа, путовала је да побегне од свакодневне рутине.En: She was cheerful and adventurous, traveling to escape the daily routine.Sr: Њена радост била је заразна, и у тренутку када су се њихови погледи срели, судбина је умешала прсте.En: Her joy was infectious, and the moment their eyes met, fate intervened.Sr: „Здраво“, осмехнула му се, протежући руку.En: "Hello," she smiled, reaching out her hand.Sr: „Јеси ли и ти сам овде?En: "Are you also here alone?"Sr: “„Да,“ одговори Вук, осећајући како му срце убрзава.En: "Yes," Vuk replied, feeling his heart race.Sr: „Сам, али не и изгубљен.En: "Alone, but not lost."Sr: “Разговарали су, свеопшти жамор људи био им је савезник, водећи их ближе једно другоме.En: They talked, the general murmur of people being their ally, drawing them closer to each other.Sr: Јелена је причала о својим путовањима, о местима која је видела и људима које је срела.En: Jelena spoke of her travels, the places she had seen, and the people she had met.Sr: Вук је био фасциниран њеном храброшћу и животном радошћу.En: Vuk was fascinated by her courage and zest for life.Sr: Међутим, упркос срчаној везаности, Вук је осећао како га преплављује стара стидљивост.En: However, despite the heartfelt connection, Vuk felt his old shyness overcome him.Sr: Иза гласова, подсећао се на оно што заиста жели: не само присуство, већ истинску везу.En: Behind the voices, he reminded himself of what he truly wanted: not just presence, but a genuine connection.Sr: Време је брзо прошло, а крај године се ближио.En: Time flew by, and the year's end was approaching.Sr: Пре него што су сви околни звуци истопили ту вече, Вук је, осетивши тренутак, одлучио да ризикује.En: Before all the surrounding sounds melted that evening, Vuk, sensing the moment, decided to take a risk.Sr: „Да ли би хтела да гледамо ватромет заједно?En: "Would you like to watch the fireworks together?"Sr: “Јелена се осврнула према мору, па према Вуку и насмешила се.En: Jelena looked toward the sea, then at Vuk, and smiled.Sr: „Била би ми част.En: "It would be my pleasure."Sr: “Док је поноћна муњевита светлост бојила небо, њих двоје стајали су раме уз раме.En: As the midnight flashes of light painted the sky, the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder.Sr: Свако пуцање ватромета било је као нови нотни запис њиховог пријатељства.En: Each burst of fireworks was like a new musical note of their friendship.Sr: Часови су пролазили, разговори су текли, и одједном се чинило да нису више сами.En: Hours passed, conversations flowed, and suddenly it seemed they were no longer alone.Sr: Када је све било готово, осећали су се потпуно повезаним.En: When it was all over, they felt completely connected.Sr: Разменили су контакте, обећавши да ће остати у контакту, и тако, свако од њих оставио је Сплит с првим наговештајем нове пријатељске везе у свом срцу.En: They exchanged contacts, promising to stay in touch, and so, each of them left Split with the first hint of a new friendship in their hearts.Sr: Вук је те вечери научио нешто важно – да смелост може донети драгоцене односе, и да светлост ватромета није једина светлост која обасјава пут.En: That evening, Vuk learned something important—courage can bring about precious relationships, and the light of fireworks is not the only light that illuminates the way.Sr: Година, која је тек почела, обећавала је нове прилике за пријатељство и осмехе.En: The year, just beginning, promised new opportunities for friendship and smiles.

You don't need a photoshoot.You don't need new content.And you definitely don't need to overthink it. In this Friday Fuel episode, I'm sharing how to turn what's already sitting in your camera roll into real sales this weekend using photos and videos you've already taken. If you've been telling yourself you'll show up “when things are more polished,” this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting and start posting. Your phone is full of content that sells, you just haven't used it yet. I walk you through exactly what to look for in your camera roll, including: Packing boxes Unboxing moments Stacked shipments Labels, inserts, and flat lays Sneak peeks of inventory Your hands assembling boxes Your workspace mid-ship Even the messy, in-progress moments count. Especially those. Your audience isn't just buying a box. They're buying from you. In this episode, I explain why everyday, non-business photos build trust. And how trust leads to sales. Things like: Your morning coffee while prepping orders A walk outside while thinking through next month's box Your dog hanging out in the office A messy work table before launch A quick post office run Travel photos with a behind-the-scenes caption These aren't filler posts. They're connection builders. A Simple 3-Day Posting Plan (Friday–Sunday) I break it down into a realistic, no-stress weekend posting plan using only what's already on your phone. Friday: Visibility & Light CTA Reel or short clip (packing, organizing, workspace setup) Casual text like: “Packing this month's box. Want one?” Simple static post with a clear link-in-bio CTA Saturday: Show Value + Build Connection Carousel showing what's inside the box Stories with behind-the-scenes clips, product shots, polls, or countdowns A quick “can't wait for these to go out” talking clip if you want Sunday: Urgency + Final Push Reel or story of boxes stacked or ready to ship Static post with a detail shot Clear urgency: “This box ships tomorrow. Last chance to grab yours.” You don't need to overthink it You just need to scroll through your phone and post Take Action:  Pick one photo from your camera roll right now, write a quick caption, and post it before the end of the day. And remember:  Real moments sell. Personality sells. Connection with your audience sells. And your camera roll already has everything you need. Join me for this episode, where I'll show you how to scroll your camera roll, pick a few everyday photos, and turn them into connection, visibility, and real sales this weekend.

In this shortened honeymoon edition of Quick Hits, DeAndre shares a major update impacting Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders alongside highlights from the first half of his and Taryn's month-long honeymoon through Hong Kong and Fiji.On the points-and-miles front, the most significant development is Chase quietly rolling back what many travelers believed was a guaranteed 2¢ per point redemption on The Edit hotel bookings. Chase now states that all Point Boost hotel redemptions are dynamically priced, introducing uncertainty for travelers who had been planning high-value stays through the program.The episode also recaps standout moments from the honeymoon so far, including a four-night stay at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong with Globalist upgrades, seamless concierge-arranged medical care, and the transition to Fiji's Nanuku Resort, an SLH property booked with Hilton points.

Eagerly awaiting the upcoming New Year's Day holiday, Wang Xiaohui, 32, has planned a trip to Harbin — a traditional winter tourism destination and the capital of Heilongjiang province — for the three-day break starting on Jan 1. Wang will ring in the New Year amid the city's dreamlike snowy vistas.32岁的王晓慧正满怀期待地迎接即将到来的元旦假期，她计划在1月1日开始的三天假期里前往哈尔滨——这一传统的冬季旅游目的地，也是黑龙江省省会。她将在这座城市如梦似幻的雪景中迎接新年的到来。"I used to spend New Year's Eve in Beijing with my family, eating dumplings, but this year I'll spend it with three friends," she said.她说：“以前我都是和家人在北京一起过除夕、吃饺子，但今年我会和三位朋友一起度过。”She had planned to see in the New Year at Harbin Ice and Snow World, one of China's top snow-themed parks, but was unable to get tickets.她原本计划在中国顶级冰雪主题乐园之一——哈尔滨冰雪大世界迎接新年，但未能买到门票。Travel agencies have forecast significant growth in both domestic and outbound tourism during the three-day holiday. Within the country, colder regions with abundant snow and regions with milder climates are competing for travelers.多家旅行机构预测，在为期三天的假期中，国内游和出境游均将实现显著增长。在国内市场，冰雪资源丰富的寒冷地区与气候相对温和的地区正共同争夺游客。Qi Chunguang, vice-president of travel portal Tuniu, said, "In the past 10 days, searches for 'New Year' tour products on our platform have doubled compared with the previous 10 days, and searches for 'New Year's Eve countdown' have grown by over 50 percent."旅游网站途牛副总裁齐春光表示：“过去10天，我们平台上‘元旦'旅游产品的搜索量较此前10天翻了一番，‘跨年倒计时'相关搜索量增长超过50%。”Qi noted the soaring popularity of snow destinations like Harbin and predicted that a travel peak in the winter tourism market would occur during the New Year's Day holiday. This is supported by data from Tujia, a domestic homestay booking platform, which reported that Harbin currently leads in holiday bookings.齐春光指出，哈尔滨等冰雪旅游目的地热度持续攀升，并预计元旦假期将迎来冬季旅游市场的出行高峰。国内民宿预订平台途家提供的数据也印证了这一判断，目前哈尔滨在假期预订量中位居前列。"Warmer places like Quanzhou in Fujian province and Libo in Guizhou province are also popular, with searches increasing by three to five times in the past 10 days," he said.他说：“福建泉州、贵州荔波等气候较为温暖的地区同样受到欢迎，过去10天相关搜索量增长了三到五倍。”Li Ailing, from Beijing, has booked a three-day trip to Quanzhou with her husband.来自北京的李爱玲已与丈夫预订了一次为期三天的泉州之行。"Beijing is too cold in winter, so we want to go to a warmer place with beautiful sea views," Li said. "My husband visited Quanzhou last year, and highly recommended it for its delicious food and distinct culture."李爱玲表示：“北京冬天太冷了，所以我们想去一个温暖、还能看到海景的地方。我丈夫去年去过泉州，他非常推荐那里，觉得美食丰富、文化特色鲜明。”Li said that they plan to leave on Dec 31, a day before the holiday period starts, to avoid the traffic rush.李爱玲说，他们计划在12月31日、即假期开始前一天出发，以避开交通高峰。The outbound tourism market is also expected to boom over the holiday. Online travel agency Qunar forecasts its first travel peak on Saturday. Popular destinations include South Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam, with South Korea seeing the fastest growth in bookings due to lower flight prices.元旦假期期间，出境游市场也有望迎来增长。在线旅游平台去哪儿网预测，其首个出行高峰将出现在周六。热门目的地包括韩国、泰国、新加坡和越南，其中韩国因机票价格较低，预订量增长最快。Qunar noted that some tourists are extending their trips by taking extra paid vacation days to visit more distant destinations such as Egypt and Spain. "New Zealand is also popular among those extending their breaks because it's midsummer there. We've seen flight bookings to New Zealand increase by 1.1 times on our platform," it added.去哪儿网指出，一些游客通过额外请带薪年假，将行程延长，前往埃及、西班牙等较远的目的地。该平台补充称：“新西兰也受到延长假期游客的青睐，因为当地正值盛夏。我们平台上飞往新西兰的机票预订量增长了1.1倍。”snow-themed park/snəʊ θiːmd pɑːk/冰雪主题乐园homestay booking platform/ˈhəʊmsteɪ ˈbʊkɪŋ ˈplætfɔːm/民宿预订平台traffic rush/ˈtræfɪk rʌʃ/交通高峰flight bookings/flaɪt ˈbʊkɪŋz/机票预订量paid vacation days/peɪd vəˈkeɪʃən deɪz/带薪休假

This week, we're taking a brief pause before the next regular episode drops after Christmas. For many riders, this time of year isn't about motion or miles—it's about reflection. About looking back at where we've been, the choices we made along the way, and what still lies ahead. The road doesn't always demand constant movement. Sometimes, the most important moments happen when things go quiet—when we take stock, reconnect, and remember why we ride in the first place. Wherever you are, and however you're spending these days, we appreciate you taking the journey with us. Our regular episode comes out tomorrow. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

On this Christmas Day's Woman's Hour Nuala McGovern and Anita Rani are discussing the rituals and traditions that we do at Christmas. Some passed down across the generations and some adapted through in-laws or friends that make this time of year so special and unique to us all. Do you always receive presents in a stocking? Perhaps it's a bracing Christmas walk or plunge into the sea, or maybe it's matching Christmas pyjamas.With a recent YouGov poll saying that 89% of Brits celebrate Christmas and most of the preparation and work that goes into this festive season is done by women, what role do women play in the making and maintaining of these rituals? And Nuala and Anita will be finding out about the importance of nostalgia and why we love to do the same thing year after year. Liza Frank, author of Household Lore - folklore, traditions and remedies for every room in your home, and Beverley Cook, Social History Curator, London Museum, discuss the origins of our treasured rituals and traditions.Dr Audrey Tang, author and a chartered psychologist with the British Psychological Society explains the importance of the rituals we do every year and why we do them.Cookery writer Syke McAlpine, author of The Christmas Companion, delves into our food rituals and shares her own Christmas traditions, which span between the UK, Italy and Australia.Author and book coach Penelope Wincer tells us about Friendsmas, hosting friends rather than families at Christmas, and what it's like to embrace and create new traditions together.Travel journalist Jessica Vincent talks us through some of the rituals that happen across the world, from throwing dough at the ceiling and hoping it sticks, to roller skating to Midnight Mass. And there's live music from Alexis Strum, who writes a Christmas song every year. Her song for 2025 is called I won't be lonely this Christmas.Presenters: Nuala McGovern and Anita Rani Producer: Andrea Kidd Editor: Karen Dalziel

Speaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Matthew 2:1-12Episode Overview:In Matthew's telling of the Magi's journey, we are invited to behold something both shocking and glorious: unlikely seekers traveling far to worship an unlikely King. Pagan astrologers arrive at a humble home, drawn by divine guidance and overwhelming joy, to bow before the child born King of the Jews—and Savior of the world. Their presence reveals the wide reach of God's grace and confronts our tendency to narrow who we believe can come to Jesus.This passage also unveils the gospel through the gifts the Magi present. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh together proclaim who Jesus truly is: King, God, and Sacrifice. Before Jesus speaks a word or performs a miracle, His mission is already foreshadowed—He reigns, He is worthy of worship, and He has come to give His life for sinners. In the most humble setting, God gives His greatest gift.Key Highlights:• The surprising arrival of the Magi shows that God's invitation to worship extends to the least likely and the outsider• Matthew's repeated call to “behold” awakens us to the wonder and scandal of grace• The three gifts proclaim the heart of the gospel: Jesus is King, God, and Savior• True wisdom is not merely seeing Jesus, but falling down in worship• The greatest gift is given in the most humble wrapping—God the Father giving God the Son Call to Action:This passage invites us to examine what we expect from God—and whether we are willing to recognize His work when it comes in humility rather than splendor. Like the Magi, we are called to seek Jesus faithfully, rejoice deeply when we find Him, and respond with surrendered worship. Come to Christ not with what you think He needs, but with empty hands and a bowed heart, trusting that He Himself is the treasure.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org
