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.

"Straumes" zāles atklāšana kinoteātrī "Splendid Palace" rosināja Kultūras rondo satikties ar anmācijas filmas "Straume" aizkadra māksliniekiem, lai pārrunātu, kāds viņiem ir bijis oskarotais gads – kas mainījies viņu dzīvē un darbā? Kad pērnvasar uz kinoekrāniem nonāca animācijas filma „Straume”, diez vai kāds varēja iedomāties, cik ilgspēlējoši būs tās panākumi pasaulē un ka „Straumes” vārdu turpināsim locīt arī 2025. gada beigās. Latvijas Banka tikko izlaida „Straumei” veltītu monētu, ko tūlīt izpirka, bet kinoteātra „Splendid Palace” mazā zāle pirms nedēļas ieguva „Straumes” vārdu. Bet kā šajā laikā ir klājies pašiem „Straumes” veidotājiem? Gints Zilbalodis ir nodevies nākamās filmas veidošanai un intervijas nesniedz, par producenta Matīsa Kažas un komponista Riharda Zaļupes darbiem ziņās dzirdam it bieži, bet cik daudz zinām par pārējo Latvijas komandu, kas strādāja pie filmas un ko daudz redzējām bildēs no Kannām un Losandželosas? Kā „Straumes” panākumu virpulis ietekmējis viņu dzīvi? Ar „Straumes” „aizkadra” komandu tiekamies raidījumā Kultūras rondo klātienē un neklātienē. Par dzīvi pēc „Straumes” studijā stāsta filmas 3D animācijas mākslinieks Konstantīns Višņevskis, 3D vizuālo efektu mākslinieks Mārtiņš Upītis, vadošais vides konceptmākslinieks un 3D mākslinieks Artūrs Gore, kā arī Dārta Krāsone, kura strādāja pie filmas ražošanas menedžmenta. Kā arī ierakstos uzklausām filmas 3D māksliniekus Pēteri Tenisonu un Kristapu Blumbergu, kā arī tēlu mākslinieci Paulu Bobrovu. -- Kinoteātris "Splendid Palace" no šī gada 12. decembra piektdienās rīko īpašu filmu seansu ciklu "Visas filmas par kaķiem. "Straumes" komandas izlase", kurā apmeklētājiem piedāvā atlasītus kino darbus no pasaules kinematogrāfijas klāsta, informē kinoteātra pārstāvji. Izvēlētās filmas sniedz ieskatu gan kino klasiķu meistardarbu stāstos, gan mūsdienu režisoru asprātīgajā vai maģiskajā pasaulē. "Svinot "Straumes" zāles atklāšanu, mēs vienojāmies veidot kaķu filmu izlasi. Ne obligāti filmas, kuru galvenie varoņi ir kaķi, taču kaķi tajās ir būtiski elementi, turklāt pilnībā atšķirīgos veidos. No franču poētiskā kino klasiķa Žana Vigo līdz brāļu Koenu urbānajai odisejai – visas programmā iekļautās filmas piedāvā mākslinieciski augstvērtīgu kino pieredzi un ir teicams kino pats par sevi," uzsver godalgotās animācijas filmas "Straume" komanda. "Straumes" komandas izlase: 19. decembrī "Stāsts par Lūinu Deivisu" (režisori Džoels Koens un Ītans Koens, 2013. gads) 26. decembrī "Sirds čuksti" (režisors Jošefumi Kondi, 1995. gads) 2. janvārī "Spoku kaķis Anzu" (režisori Joko Kuno un Nobuhiro Jamašita, 2024. gads)

An open letter to political leaders is calling for them to end visas tied to a single employer, saying they set the stage for potential exploitation and abuse and make it harder for victims to escape. The letter's signed by the Human Rights Commission and 26 others including migrant support groups, the Salvation Army, Community law, the Council of Trade unions and modern slavery experts. Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Professor Gail Pacheco spoke to Lisa Owen.

Immigration is a key part of the American story. Many, many people have come to the United States committed to loving and serving their new country.  But nations have to exercise caution and prudence with the way that they conduct immigration. Bad policy and abuses of the system can lead to all kinds of problems, as we know well here in the United States. The Second Trump Administration has gone a long way toward improving immigration policy, and one of the areas now being discussed is that of H1B visas. These are visas intended to be issued to skilled workers, but there are serious concerns about the number of visas being issued and the ways that they affect American citizens. To understand this issue, I sat down with Simon Hankinson, Senior Research Fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation.—Follow Simon Hankinson at Heritage.org: https://www.heritage.org/staff/simon-hankinsonSimon's Book, The Ten Woke Commandments You Must Not Obey: https://thetenwokecommandments.com/—Have thoughts?

Tara breaks down the hidden truths behind the H-1B visa system and how it's impacting young Americans. With unemployment among 20- to 24-year-olds at 9.2%, entry-level white-collar STEM jobs are being filled by visa holders willing to work 10–50% below median U.S. pay—often for a guaranteed pathway to citizenship. Tara exposes how companies exploit this system, effectively chaining foreign workers to their desks for years while displacing talented American graduates. She also critiques recent political missteps, highlighting how these policies could alienate an entire generation of voters and empower the opposition.

Tara dives deep into the biggest threats to American workers and the next generation. From massive welfare fraud across multiple states to H-1B visa exploitation that displaces young Americans from STEM jobs, this episode exposes the hidden forces shaping the economy and politics. Tara discusses the consequences of illegal immigration, corporate manipulation, and government mismanagement on housing, wages, and employment, while highlighting how recent policy changes and enforcement efforts are reshaping the landscape.

More than 500,000 Russians were granted visas to the European Union's Schengen zone in 2024 — nearly half of which allow for multiple entry over many years. The visitor numbers are down by 90 percent compared with pre-pandemic 2019, but half a million people still isn't nothing. And it's about to seem astronomical, following a recent decision by the European Union to introduce a ban on multi-entry visas to the Schengen zone for Russian citizens. Many have welcomed the E.U.'s new policy as long overdue, justifying the restrictions as a commonsense security measure and a morally righteous punishment for the citizens of a state terrorizing the continent and making war in Ukraine. That has not been the response from most Russian activists and journalists, however. For these people, Europe's new multi-entry visa police will shatter the workflows and evacuation plans that had made it possible to continue limited forms of independent reporting and activism inside Russia. To learn more about these repercussions, The Naked Pravda spoke to journalist and activist Elena Kostyuchenko, author of the 2023 book I Love Russia: Reporting From a Lost Country. In a November 10 social media post, Kostyuchenko laid out why her colleagues are “panicking” about the new E.U. visa policy. She joined Meduza's podcast to break it down further.

The Funds' investments in small and mid-capitalization companies could experience greater volatility than investments in large-capitalization companies. AVEWX invests in foreign securities and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations. Investments in these securities can involve additional risks relating to political, economic or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets; fluctuations in foreign currencies; and withholding or other taxes. AVEFX invests primarily in fixed income securities and as a result the Fund is also subject to the followings risks: interest rate risk, credit risk, credit rating risk, prepayment and extension risk and liquidity risk. AVEAX and AVERX are classified as non-diversified and may therefore invest a greater percentage of their assets in the securities of a limited number of issuers than funds that are diversified. At times, the Funds may overweight a position in a particular issuer or emphasize investment in a limited number of issuers, industries or sectors, which may cause their share prices to be more susceptible to any economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence affecting an issuer than funds that are more widely diversified. The issuers that the Funds may emphasize will vary from time to time.  Request a prospectus, which includes investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses and other information that you should read and consider carefully before investing.
