Born in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa, Jacu Strauss' early years were marked by his imagination—crafting dollhouses from wine boxes and drawing urban streetscapes in the dirt. With limited access to TV or the internet, he turned to encyclopedias and magazines to fuel an inner world that laid the foundation for his future.At 18, he left for London on what was meant to be a brief gap year. It quickly turned into a journey through banking, architecture studies in New Zealand, and ultimately, back to the UK. His career took a turn when he joined Tom Dixon, where he helped dream up the transformative Sea Containers hotel.That philosophy continues to anchor his work as creative director at Lore Group, where he oversees a diverse portfolio of hotels. From the charming Pulitzer Amsterdam to the intimate sophistication of the Lyle in Washington, DC, Strauss designs with both whimsy and purpose—always seeking to humanize spaces through material, form, and story.This podcast is sponsored by StyleNations.

It's Tuesday, February 11th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian Muslims killed 16 Christians On Sunday, February 2nd, Fulani Islamic extremists stormed a village in Ebonyi State in southern Nigeria, killing Christians and setting their homes on fire. Tragically, at least 16 Christians connected with The Lord Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministry died in the attack, reports International Christian Concern. British farmers protest proposed inheritance tax Hundreds of tractors blocked the road leading to the British Parliament building in London yesterday, reports the BBC. The liberal government announced late last year they would be adding a 20% inheritance tax on agricultural assets including land worth over £1.3 million pounds for the first time. Nigel Farage, a Member of Parliament, spoke to the protesting farmers. FARAGE: “From what I can see, Joe Public is getting behind the concept that the family farm should not be driven out of existence. So politically, I think we can win this. “This inheritance tax, it isn't just the farms that it hits. It's family businesses as well. In fact, inheritance tax, when you think about it, it's on money that we paid tax on already. The whole thing's monstrous. Let's just stand up and say no to death taxes. Full stop. End death taxes. They're wrong. They're immoral at every level.” (cheers, applause) Farmers claim the inheritance tax will drive food prices up and bankrupt some farming families. Job 24:1-3 speaks of this: “Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, why do those who know Him see not His days? Some remove landmarks; They seize flocks violently and feed on them; They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; They take the widow's ox as a pledge.” GOP Chair introduced transgendered Rep. as biological man Here in the United States, the acting chair of the House of Representatives, Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois, would not refer to a certain representative of the state of Delaware as a woman. Representative McBride of Delaware is pretending to be a woman — the first transgendered person elected to the U.S. legislative branch.   Listen to the audio for the introduction that occurred last Thursday. MILLER: "The chair recognizes the gentleman from Delaware, Mr. McBride, for five minutes.” McBRIDE: “Thank you, Madam Speaker.  When I was elected, I promised to work with anyone who would help Delaware and Delawarians.” Tim McBride, who once served as President of the student body at American University in D.C., has taken on the name Sarah. House Speaker Mike Johnson announced last November that “transgender women may not use women's restrooms in the Capitol … to include changing rooms and locker rooms.” Philadelphia Eagles coach gave God the glory Head Coach for the Philadelphia Eagles, Nick Siranni, gave thanks to God after his team won the Super Bowl on Sunday.   REPORTER:  “Nick, Super Bowl champions. What does the moment mean?” SIRANNI: “Man, God has blessed us very much. He gave us all the talents to be able to get here. So, first and foremost, thanks to Him. Thank God. Thank You, Jesus.” The Eagles stopped the Kansas City Chiefs, on an attempt to break a Super Bowl record with a three-in-a-row Super Bowl win.   Both quarterbacks in the game, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, are professing Christians. After his 40-22 win over the Chiefs, Hurts told Fox News that “God is good. He's greater than all the highs and the lows.”  Psalm 96:4-5 exhorts us to “Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.” Gold has doubled since 2020 Gold breeched $2,900 an ounce yesterday for the first time, reports Mining.com. The price of gold has doubled since January 2020. By contrast, silver is $32.50 per ounce. The NASDAQ has increased by two-and-half fold since January 2020. And the Dow Jones Industrial Average is only up 43% since early 2020. 52% of American teens super motivated to learn about Jesus Barna Research has found that 52% of American teens say they are very motivated, and 25% say somewhat motivated to continue learning about Jesus throughout the rest of their lives.   Only 10% of American teens are not interested at all. FEMA paid $59 million to house illegals in luxury hotels last week Elon Musk posted on X just yesterday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had given over “$59 million to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants” just last week, reports The Epoch Times. Musk called this a violation of law. The U.S. House Budget Committee found that the federal government had spent $88 billion in 2023 taking care of illegal immigrants.  As of May 13th, 2024, the illegal immigrant crisis has racked up costs for federal and state governments of anywhere between $150 billion to $400 billion. Back in 2023, half of New York City's hotel rooms were occupied by illegals, many of whom had been sent to New York City from Texas. Fourth American to receive pig's kidney Surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital have successfully performed the fourth pig kidney transplant in America, reports U.S. News and World Report. Unfortunately, the first two recipients last year did not survive. The third received the genetically edited kidney in November, and the fourth just last week.  It marks a major step in efforts to address a critical nationwide shortage of donor organs. R.I.P. American penny! And finally, the American penny is no more, reports the Associated Press. President Donald Trump has instructed the Treasury Department to cease minting the penny — which most recently has cost 3.7 cents to produce, representing a loss of $85 million per year. Interestingly,  the U.S. Mint made 3.2 billion pennies last year. That's more than half of all the new coins it made in 2024.

On this episode, we recap our favorite hotel stays from 2024, with picks that are great for international and domestic travel for couples, friends, or family trips. Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht - part of Hyatt Hotels, this hotel has a fabulous location on one of the main canals in a great area. The staff was helpful and the room was stylish. The only thing to keep in mind is that it has an open bathroom concept, so it wouldn't be great for families or two friends sharing a room. This is a good option for those who travel with points. Chase is a transfer partner with Hyatt. Tamara visited this hotel in January on her weekend getaway to Amsterdam. Exeter Hotel Reykjavik - this hotel also has an open bathroom format. The location is about a 10-minute walk from the main shopping and sightseeing district. The room rate also included free breakfast and there was a passcode-locked gate for storing luggage. Kim stayed here with her daughter before their Windstar Cruise. Weston Inn Vermont - this is a nice luxury inn in Southern Vermont with top-notch service, a great restaurant, nicely appointed rooms, a spa and fitness center with fantastic yoga classes. This is a perfect romantic getaway. Read Tamara's full review. Inn at Laurel Point, Victoria - Kim talked about this hotel on a recent episode about Victoria, BC. It is located right on the waterfront just a short walk from downtown. They have spacious rooms, nice L'Occitane bath products, soaker tubs, and a fabulous cafe and full-service restaurant on site. Sandestin Hilton, Florida - located along 30A near Destin, Florida, this area has gorgeous white sand beaches and calm water. This is a great hotel for families because one of the towers has 300 rooms that have bunk beds. It is easy to have a family of five in one room and not feel cramped. Read Tamara's full Sandestin Hilton review. White House Hotel, Istanbul - had rooms with three twin beds, making it a great choice for a friend trip to Istanbul. The price was extremely reasonable and it is in the Sultanahmet neighborhood near all the main attractions. Hagia Sofia Mansions, Istanbul - this is a Curio Collection by Hilton Hotel, also in the Sultanahmet neighborhood and it was beautiful. The rooms are spread across multiple buildings and the rooms feel very luxurious. There are two restaurants and the breakfast has so much food. Park Hyatt Istanbul - Macka Palas - the hotel room was fabulous but it is located in a high-end shopping district, which may mean you spend more on cabs getting around the city. Avantgarde Refined Urgup - Cappadocia is a region of towns and this hotel is in the up-and-coming town of Urgup. This is a newly-opened, cave-style hotel with excellent service and food. Meneghetti Wine Hotel, Croatia - this is Tamara's favorite hotel of the year. They stayed in a one-bedroom residence that had a living room, 1.5 baths, loft bedroom, with a private backyard and patio. The hotel is located on a wine estate and has multiple restaurants, two pools, a beach club, spa, and more. Read about Tamara's couples trip to Croatia.
