Though we may celebrate some of the same holidays across regions and countries, we all do them so differently. Understanding those differences can help us to understand each other, it adds beauty to the season, and might even give you a new destination for your wishlist.  This year I'm chatting about holiday traditions with Samuel Dabinett, the GM of the famed Park Hyatt Sydney, Urban Axelsson from Swedish Lapland, and Gustavo Brana, from Buenos Aires, Argentina.  Urban shares stories from the Arctic Circle, while Samuel and Gustavo tell us how it feels to celebrate Christmas and New Years in the middle of summer. We chat food, traditions, fireworks, and special experiences galore.  So my friends, Salute, Cheers, and Skal. I hope you have a joyous holiday season ahead, be safe, thank you, thank you for listening and for all your support, and please enjoy this festive episode of Luxury Travel Insider.  Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com   Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn  

It's known for the huge LKAB iron ore mine and its underground visitors center with an exhibit on mining. Hjalmar Lundbohmsgården, the 19th-century former home of LKAB's first managing director, is now a museum with a courtyard photography exhibit. Kiruna Church is notable for its bell tower and resemblance to the traditional huts of the indigenous Sámi people.

Jenni is joined by Kris King, the Expedition Leader and owner of 'Beyond The Ultimate,' a company renowned for organising an extraordinary series of self-sufficient, multi-day ultramarathons set in some of the world's most challenging and breathtaking environments.Participants in Beyond The Ultimate events often fall into one or more of these categories: 'Running Purists,' 'Tough Guys/Women,' 'Soul Searchers,' and 'Story Tellers.' These adventurers are drawn to the experience because it offers a journey that profoundly expands both mind and spirit, creating memories that will last a lifetime.Guided by the philosophy that life should be filled with experiences, not possessions, Kris and his team have designed these multi-day trail running adventures to offer participants a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.So, if you're dreaming of tackling a Desert Ultra in the Namib Desert, a Jungle Ultra in the Amazon Rainforest, an Ice Ultra in Swedish Lapland, or perhaps a Mountain Ultra in the Tian Shan Mountains, this episode of RunPod could be just for you.

Whilst the vast forests of Swedish Lapland might look like a wilderness from the air, get in and amongst the trees and they're anything but. Forestry plantations dominate the map, where trees are planted in dense rows and light on the forest floor is a rare sight.  The rivers didn't escape the booming timber industry either, historically engineered beyond recognition to float logs downstream to awaiting sawmills. Boulders were ripped from the riverbeds, woody debris was removed and flooring was brought in to simplify the route as much as possible. The team at Rewilding Sweden is now busy restoring these ecosystems, where the forest and rivers are treated not as separate entities, but entwined waterscapes. Swedish Lapland is one of ten inspirational rewilding landscapes, brought together by Rewilding Europe  to drive forwards the large scale recovery of nature across the continent.

“When I go to a standard hotel, it's the inside that counts 100%. It's the services, the room, the food and everything. But at Treehotel, the outside is as important as the inside. Because it's an experience. And I often talk to different architects about the ‘outside room', how important it is. This walk from the guest house up to the room, that's an experience and you have to make sure that our guests feel safe, that they feel they're on the right track, that they feel a wow factor.” We're in great company with Jonas & Hannah Olsson, the husband & wife duo behind Treehotel, the landscape hotel where nature and imagination run wild. Where they invite guests to stay in unique and memorable treerooms with contemporary Scandinavian and sustainable design in the unspoiled nature of Swedish Lapland.  While Jonas & Hannah were first guests of Treehotel themselves, they became good friends with the founders Kent & Britta Lindvall, falling in love with the sense of place, the curiosity and creativity it provoked, and the potential for all that it could become. In this episode, The Olsson's invite us on an adventure in nature of the Norrland forest, offer a relaxing break in their one-of-a-kind treerooms, and share a tasteful spread at their locally and sustainably sourced restaurant, making magical memories along the way.  Top Takeaways [2:00] Jonas and Hannah were heads down in their real estate business and never dreamed of owning their own hotel, they left that to their family, owners of Icehotel and a few others in the city of Umeå.  [5:10] Advice for being partners in business and in life. What it is like raising a family of 6 kids when you have the flexibility of working 24/7 but the ability to choose what you spend your time on.    [7:20] Treehotel originally came to be in 2010, brought to life by Kent and Britta Lindvall…along with a campfire circle of creative architects on a fishing trip and a napkin sketch with a simple pen stroke that would become their logo.  [15:00] The most memorable day back in 2019 for the Olsson's included a family vacation, a birthday, a proposal and a signed contract sealing their next adventure together.  [20:35] There are so many ways to tailor your Treehotel experience to enjoy the most authentic Swedish Lapland from season to season. [24:00] With each tree room designed by a different architect, creativity and sustainability is around every corner as far as the eye can see in the secluded setting that hosts Treehotel.  [33:45] Dine In Good Company “soil to table” style, where the Olsson's share the highest quality food of the current season and the creative simplicity of local produce from their northern pantry right outside their door.  [43:00] A facelift for a deeper nature-focused first impression and more is in store for the future of Treehotel. [47:15] Jonas and Hannah take pride in their Swedish roots, from enjoying “Fika” breaks featuring sweet treats throughout the day to searching for Northern Lights in the dark sky that lasts all winter long.  Notable Mentions Arctic Bath  Storforsen River & Other Treehotel Activities Svantes Vilt & Bar Visit For Yourself Treehotel Website @treehotel Stay In Good Company Website

We're back in Arctic Sweden for the 2nd episode in a row, but this time we're exploring the Ice Ultra, a 5-day race across the ice and snow of Swedish Lapland. There are no skis or sledges here, but snowshoes and backpacks. Competitors carry everything but their sleeping bags and camp clothes on their backs throughout, so your ability to select and manage the right kit is a big factor in whether you end up a finisher or a shivery DNF. In this episode, Will speaks to the 2 winners of the race, and another runner who maximised their time on the course a little more, and digs into the choices they made that carried them across the snow. Those runners are 1st male and overall winner Alex O'Shea, a record breaking Irish athlete more commonly known as the Running Fireman, 1st female Tarryn Gordon-Bennett of South Africa,  and Sia Kindberg who ranks among the most infectiously positive people to chat on this podcast. Whether you're planning a cold adventure of your own and are looking for detailed advice, or you're curious about what running 230km in the Arctic might feel like, this is the episode for you.

At approximately 7:37 a.m., police received reports of an active scene at Perry High School in Perry. Officers responded within seven minutes of the active shooter alarm, Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante told reporters. The total number of victims and their status have not been confirmed. Infante said authorities are working to determine that information and that there is no further danger to the public. "The community is safe," the sheriff said. "We're just now working backwards, trying to figure out everything that happened and make notifications. There will be another update later on today." The Associated Press reported two gunshot victims were taken by ambulance to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in the state capital of Des Moines. A law enforcement source told the AP the suspect in the shooting has died of what investigators believe is a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Infante said the shooting happened before school began. "Luckily, there was very few students and faculty in the building, which I think contributed to a good outcome in that sense," he said. Zander Shelley, 15, was in a hallway waiting for the school day to start when he heard gunshots and dashed into a classroom, his father, Kevin Shelley, told the AP. Zander was grazed twice and hid in the classroom before texting his father at 7:36 a.m. Kevin Shelley, who drives a garbage truck, told his boss he had to run. "It was the most scared I’ve been in my entire life," he said. Rachael Kares, an 18-year-old senior, told the AP she was at jazz band practice when students heard what sounded like four gunshots, spaced apart. "We all just jumped," Kares said. "My band teacher looked at us and yelled, ‘Run!’ So we ran." Kares said students and faculty ran out past the football field, with people yelling, "Get out! Get out!" as they ran. She said she heard additional shots while she fled, but was most concerned about getting home to her 3-year-old son. "At that moment I didn’t care about anything except getting out because I had to get home with my son," she told the AP. The sheriff's office, Perry Police Department and multiple federal agencies also responded to the shooting. Authorities have identified a suspect but have not released their name at this time, the sheriff said. Multiple EMS vehicles were sent to the scene at 1200 18th Street, according to public safety radio traffic. Federal agents from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) also said they were on the ground. Perry High School belongs to the Perry Community School District, about 25 miles northwest of Des Moines. About 1,785 students are enrolled in the school district, according to its website. Thursday was the first day of school after the winter break, according to the school's calendar. "Our hearts are broken by this senseless tragedy. Our prayers are with the students, teachers & families of the Perry Community," Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said in a statement. "I have been in contact with law enforcement agencies & am continuing to monitor the situation. I will be joining their press conference today." https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-judge-dismisses-trump-ballot-disqualification-case-with-prejudice-5558227?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Federal Judge Dismisses Trump Ballot Disqualification Case ‘With Prejudice’ A federal judge in California on Jan. 3 dismissed a lawsuit that sought to keep former President Donald Trump off the 2024 Republican primary ballot in that state. District Judge David Carter granted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit “with prejudice,” which means that it can’t be submitted to the same court again, according to court papers. A plaintiff attempted to argue that they suffered “emotional injury” as a result of the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, while watching the events unfold on television, on the radio, and in various publications. They then argued that the incident caused them “severe emotional distress” and then filed a lawsuit to keep the former president off California’s ballot. However, the judge wrote that because the events occurred “more than two years before the plaintiff” filed suit, it was outside of the two-year statute of limitations. The decision by Judge Carter, a Clinton-appointed jurist who has ruled against President Trump in a separate case, was posted online by former Republican National Committee for California Chair Harmeet Dhillon. “The remnants of the last California case to keep President Trump off the ballot here were dismissed today by Judge David O. Carter!!” she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Jan. 3. In recent days and weeks, a number of lawsuits have been filed in different states seeking to bar President Trump from appearing on the ballot ahead of the 2024 election. Those suits have claimed that the former president engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” against the United States under an interpretation of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment’s Section 3, which was written in the immediate aftermath of the U.S. Civil War. At least two of those challenges have seen some success in Maine and Colorado, although there has been widespread speculation that higher courts or even the U.S. Supreme Court will strike those rulings down. Days before Christmas, Colorado’s highest court ruled to keep the former president off the primary ballot in the state, which was promptly appealed to the Supreme Court. Last week, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, unilaterally decided to keep President Trump off the ballot, which also has been appealed. Ahead of the Supreme Court appeal, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said that “unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat-appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice.” Legal analysts have suggested that the U.S. Supreme Court would take up those two cases and likely would rule against the plaintiffs at least on procedural grounds. However, it isn’t clear whether the court will take up the more thorny questions presented under the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause. “It seems a certainty that SCOTUS will have to address the merits sooner or later,” Rick Hasen, a law professor at the University of California–Los Angeles, wrote on his website last month, referring to the Supreme Court. Several other federal judges have also dismissed attempts to block the former president from appearing on ballots. In a ruling issued in late December 2023, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema wrote that the plaintiffs—two activists—who filed suit against President Trump in Virginia to keep him on that state’s ballot lacked standing. https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/01/03/trans-murderer-sent-to-womens-prison-n602445 Trans Murderer Sent to Women's Prison In 2012 and 2013, a man named Steven Buchanan murdered two handymen he had hired to do some labor around his farm in Oregon. After killing them, he fed their corpses to his pigs. He was eventually discovered and arrested for the crimes. In 2015 he was convicted, with the judge telling him that he was “a cold-blooded killer” who “valued pigs more than you value human life.” Buchanan was sentenced to fifty years in prison. But then things reportedly took a turn for the strange. The killer was no longer Steven Buchanan. Instead, he was “Susan Monica,” claiming to be a transgender woman. As our colleague Madeline Lessman reports this week at Townhall, Monica nee Buchanan is now being housed at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility, a women’s prison located in Wilsonville, Oregon. A “transgender” biological male who was convicted of murdering two men is serving a 50-year sentence in a women’s prison, according to a report from Reduxx. The prisoner, Steven Buchanan, who goes by “Susan Monica,” dismembered the bodies of his victims and fed them to pigs on a 20-acre farm he owned in Oregon, Reduxx noted. Buchanan bought the farm in 1991 and killed two handymen in 2012 and 2013. In 2015, he was reportedly sentenced to a minimum of 50 years behind bars. “You shot two people and fed them to your pigs,” Judge Tim Barnack told Buchanan during sentencing. “I don’t know how else I can put it. You valued pigs more than you value people. It may sound harsh, but you are a cold-blooded killer.” By this time, we’ve covered enough of these transgender prisoner stories that you should have already noticed a pattern emerging. There are men behaving badly who never seemed to have any problem living as men. Then, why they are facing the possibility of a long stretch in the Crowbar Motel, they suddenly “realize” that they are actually women trapped in men’s bodies and they demand special accommodations. And if they live in a blue state on the West Coast, those demands are almost always met. If the details of those two killings don’t do enough to send chills down your spine and make you realize how dangerous this guy almost certainly is (even at the age of 75), there is more. During court proceedings, the lead detective in the case told the judge that Buchanan had said he was worried that if police found “the other seventeen” bodies on his farm, he might never get out of jail. Police searched and did some digging, but additional bodies were not located. That doesn’t mean they’re not there, though. This guy is a certifiable lunatic who told the police “I do not value human life very much.” This is the sort of person we’re putting in a women’s prison? I’m sure some of the actual females at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility did some bad things to wind up there, though hopefully not involving feeding body parts to swine. But do they deserve to be exposed to a proven homicidal maniac who is pretending to be a woman? Townhall has been covering stories like this for a while and it never seems to end well. One trans inmate in New Jersey wound up impregnating two female inmates. (His own mother said that the trans thing was a scam allowing him access to women.) Another inmate was sexually assaulted by a trans inmate.. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/01/03/sweden-records-coldest-january-evening-in-25-years/ Sweden Records Coldest January Evening in 25 Years Europe experienced stark weather contrasts on Wednesday, with extreme cold and snowstorms disrupting transportation and closing schools in Scandinavia while strong winds and heavy rain in western Europe caused flooding and at least one death. Temperatures fell below minus 40 degrees Celsius (minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit) in the Nordic region for a second day in a row Wednesday. In Kvikkjokk-Årrenjarka in Swedish Lapland, the mercury dropped to minus 43.6 C (minus 46.5 F), the lowest January temperature recorded in Sweden in 25 years, Sweden’s TT news agency reported. Extremely cold temperatures, snow and gale-force winds disrupted transportation throughout the Nordic region, with several bridges closed and some train and ferry services suspended. Several schools in Scandinavia were closed. Police across most of Denmark urged motorists to avoid unnecessary trips as wind and snow battered the northern and western parts of the country. Mild but wet and windy conditions prevailed further south, where a storm wreaked havoc in parts of western Europe. In Britain, a driver died after a tree fell on his car in western England. Gloucestershire Police said the man died in the incident near the town of Kemble on Tuesday afternoon. The storm, which has been named Henk by the official weather services of Britain, Ireland and the Netherlands, has caused power cuts, transport troubles, property damage and disruption across the U.K. More than 300 flood warnings were in place across England and Wales on Wednesday, while 10,000 homes remained without power. A severe flood alert, meaning a danger to life, was announced for the River Nene in Northampton in central England. Several residents were evacuated from houseboats and caravans at the nearby Billing Aquadrome. The U.K.’s rail network was hit by flooding and power cuts, with many operators reporting ongoing issues for the Wednesday morning commute into work. The strongest gales in the U.K. were recorded on the Isle of Wight, just off the coast in southern England, where wind speeds reached 94 miles per hour (151 kilometers per hour). In the Netherlands, police near the city of Eindhoven said strong winds may have played a role in the death of a 75-year-old man who fell off his bicycle late Tuesday as high winds lashed much of the country. Parts of Germany were also grappling with flooding, which could be aggravated by more rain falling in the worst-affected northwestern state of Lower Saxony. https://www.boundingintosports.com/2024/01/aaron-rodgers-says-jimmy-kimmel-is-worried-about-the-jeffrey-epstein-files-suggests-nfl-is-rigged/ Aaron Rodgers Says Jimmy Kimmel Is Worried About The Jeffrey Epstein Files, Suggests NFL Is Rigged If you thought New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had any designs on pulling back on his opinions in the new year, think again. During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the 40-year-old future NFL Hall of Famer suggested late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel might be nervous about the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Oh, and he also floated the idea that the NFL is rigged. Aaron Rodgers kicked off a segment with the host by embracing a conspiracy theory that the Super Bowl logo features the colors of the teams that eventually end up playing in the game. An X post by NFL Memes in September included an image that explained the theory and showed recent examples. The group also predicted that based on this theory, the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers would be facing each other in Super Bowl LVIII. “If the Super Bowl Baltimore and San Fran, I’ll tell you what, that Super Bowl 59 emblem better have Jet green on it,” Rodgers said. “I know you’ve seen that one … that’s a real interesting one,” Rodgers said of the conspiracy theory. https://twitter.com/i/status/1742256969883492467 - Play Video

At approximately 7:37 a.m., police received reports of an active scene at Perry High School in Perry. Officers responded within seven minutes of the active shooter alarm, Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante told reporters. The total number of victims and their status have not been confirmed. Infante said authorities are working to determine that information and that there is no further danger to the public. "The community is safe," the sheriff said. "We're just now working backwards, trying to figure out everything that happened and make notifications. There will be another update later on today." The Associated Press reported two gunshot victims were taken by ambulance to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in the state capital of Des Moines. A law enforcement source told the AP the suspect in the shooting has died of what investigators believe is a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Infante said the shooting happened before school began. "Luckily, there was very few students and faculty in the building, which I think contributed to a good outcome in that sense," he said. Zander Shelley, 15, was in a hallway waiting for the school day to start when he heard gunshots and dashed into a classroom, his father, Kevin Shelley, told the AP. Zander was grazed twice and hid in the classroom before texting his father at 7:36 a.m. Kevin Shelley, who drives a garbage truck, told his boss he had to run. "It was the most scared I’ve been in my entire life," he said. Rachael Kares, an 18-year-old senior, told the AP she was at jazz band practice when students heard what sounded like four gunshots, spaced apart. "We all just jumped," Kares said. "My band teacher looked at us and yelled, ‘Run!’ So we ran." Kares said students and faculty ran out past the football field, with people yelling, "Get out! Get out!" as they ran. She said she heard additional shots while she fled, but was most concerned about getting home to her 3-year-old son. "At that moment I didn’t care about anything except getting out because I had to get home with my son," she told the AP. The sheriff's office, Perry Police Department and multiple federal agencies also responded to the shooting. Authorities have identified a suspect but have not released their name at this time, the sheriff said. Multiple EMS vehicles were sent to the scene at 1200 18th Street, according to public safety radio traffic. Federal agents from the FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) also said they were on the ground. Perry High School belongs to the Perry Community School District, about 25 miles northwest of Des Moines. About 1,785 students are enrolled in the school district, according to its website. Thursday was the first day of school after the winter break, according to the school's calendar. "Our hearts are broken by this senseless tragedy. Our prayers are with the students, teachers & families of the Perry Community," Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said in a statement. "I have been in contact with law enforcement agencies & am continuing to monitor the situation. I will be joining their press conference today." https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/federal-judge-dismisses-trump-ballot-disqualification-case-with-prejudice-5558227?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Federal Judge Dismisses Trump Ballot Disqualification Case ‘With Prejudice’ A federal judge in California on Jan. 3 dismissed a lawsuit that sought to keep former President Donald Trump off the 2024 Republican primary ballot in that state. District Judge David Carter granted a motion to dismiss the lawsuit “with prejudice,” which means that it can’t be submitted to the same court again, according to court papers. A plaintiff attempted to argue that they suffered “emotional injury” as a result of the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, while watching the events unfold on television, on the radio, and in various publications. They then argued that the incident caused them “severe emotional distress” and then filed a lawsuit to keep the former president off California’s ballot. However, the judge wrote that because the events occurred “more than two years before the plaintiff” filed suit, it was outside of the two-year statute of limitations. The decision by Judge Carter, a Clinton-appointed jurist who has ruled against President Trump in a separate case, was posted online by former Republican National Committee for California Chair Harmeet Dhillon. “The remnants of the last California case to keep President Trump off the ballot here were dismissed today by Judge David O. Carter!!” she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Jan. 3. In recent days and weeks, a number of lawsuits have been filed in different states seeking to bar President Trump from appearing on the ballot ahead of the 2024 election. Those suits have claimed that the former president engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” against the United States under an interpretation of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment’s Section 3, which was written in the immediate aftermath of the U.S. Civil War. At least two of those challenges have seen some success in Maine and Colorado, although there has been widespread speculation that higher courts or even the U.S. Supreme Court will strike those rulings down. Days before Christmas, Colorado’s highest court ruled to keep the former president off the primary ballot in the state, which was promptly appealed to the Supreme Court. Last week, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, unilaterally decided to keep President Trump off the ballot, which also has been appealed. Ahead of the Supreme Court appeal, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said that “unsurprisingly, the all-Democrat-appointed Colorado Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, supporting a Soros-funded, left-wing group’s scheme to interfere in an election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden by removing President Trump’s name from the ballot and eliminating the rights of Colorado voters to vote for the candidate of their choice.” Legal analysts have suggested that the U.S. Supreme Court would take up those two cases and likely would rule against the plaintiffs at least on procedural grounds. However, it isn’t clear whether the court will take up the more thorny questions presented under the 14th Amendment’s insurrection clause. “It seems a certainty that SCOTUS will have to address the merits sooner or later,” Rick Hasen, a law professor at the University of California–Los Angeles, wrote on his website last month, referring to the Supreme Court. Several other federal judges have also dismissed attempts to block the former president from appearing on ballots. In a ruling issued in late December 2023, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema wrote that the plaintiffs—two activists—who filed suit against President Trump in Virginia to keep him on that state’s ballot lacked standing. https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/01/03/trans-murderer-sent-to-womens-prison-n602445 Trans Murderer Sent to Women's Prison In 2012 and 2013, a man named Steven Buchanan murdered two handymen he had hired to do some labor around his farm in Oregon. After killing them, he fed their corpses to his pigs. He was eventually discovered and arrested for the crimes. In 2015 he was convicted, with the judge telling him that he was “a cold-blooded killer” who “valued pigs more than you value human life.” Buchanan was sentenced to fifty years in prison. But then things reportedly took a turn for the strange. The killer was no longer Steven Buchanan. Instead, he was “Susan Monica,” claiming to be a transgender woman. As our colleague Madeline Lessman reports this week at Townhall, Monica nee Buchanan is now being housed at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility, a women’s prison located in Wilsonville, Oregon. A “transgender” biological male who was convicted of murdering two men is serving a 50-year sentence in a women’s prison, according to a report from Reduxx. The prisoner, Steven Buchanan, who goes by “Susan Monica,” dismembered the bodies of his victims and fed them to pigs on a 20-acre farm he owned in Oregon, Reduxx noted. Buchanan bought the farm in 1991 and killed two handymen in 2012 and 2013. In 2015, he was reportedly sentenced to a minimum of 50 years behind bars. “You shot two people and fed them to your pigs,” Judge Tim Barnack told Buchanan during sentencing. “I don’t know how else I can put it. You valued pigs more than you value people. It may sound harsh, but you are a cold-blooded killer.” By this time, we’ve covered enough of these transgender prisoner stories that you should have already noticed a pattern emerging. There are men behaving badly who never seemed to have any problem living as men. Then, why they are facing the possibility of a long stretch in the Crowbar Motel, they suddenly “realize” that they are actually women trapped in men’s bodies and they demand special accommodations. And if they live in a blue state on the West Coast, those demands are almost always met. If the details of those two killings don’t do enough to send chills down your spine and make you realize how dangerous this guy almost certainly is (even at the age of 75), there is more. During court proceedings, the lead detective in the case told the judge that Buchanan had said he was worried that if police found “the other seventeen” bodies on his farm, he might never get out of jail. Police searched and did some digging, but additional bodies were not located. That doesn’t mean they’re not there, though. This guy is a certifiable lunatic who told the police “I do not value human life very much.” This is the sort of person we’re putting in a women’s prison? I’m sure some of the actual females at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility did some bad things to wind up there, though hopefully not involving feeding body parts to swine. But do they deserve to be exposed to a proven homicidal maniac who is pretending to be a woman? Townhall has been covering stories like this for a while and it never seems to end well. One trans inmate in New Jersey wound up impregnating two female inmates. (His own mother said that the trans thing was a scam allowing him access to women.) Another inmate was sexually assaulted by a trans inmate.. https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/01/03/sweden-records-coldest-january-evening-in-25-years/ Sweden Records Coldest January Evening in 25 Years Europe experienced stark weather contrasts on Wednesday, with extreme cold and snowstorms disrupting transportation and closing schools in Scandinavia while strong winds and heavy rain in western Europe caused flooding and at least one death. Temperatures fell below minus 40 degrees Celsius (minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit) in the Nordic region for a second day in a row Wednesday. In Kvikkjokk-Årrenjarka in Swedish Lapland, the mercury dropped to minus 43.6 C (minus 46.5 F), the lowest January temperature recorded in Sweden in 25 years, Sweden’s TT news agency reported. Extremely cold temperatures, snow and gale-force winds disrupted transportation throughout the Nordic region, with several bridges closed and some train and ferry services suspended. Several schools in Scandinavia were closed. Police across most of Denmark urged motorists to avoid unnecessary trips as wind and snow battered the northern and western parts of the country. Mild but wet and windy conditions prevailed further south, where a storm wreaked havoc in parts of western Europe. In Britain, a driver died after a tree fell on his car in western England. Gloucestershire Police said the man died in the incident near the town of Kemble on Tuesday afternoon. The storm, which has been named Henk by the official weather services of Britain, Ireland and the Netherlands, has caused power cuts, transport troubles, property damage and disruption across the U.K. More than 300 flood warnings were in place across England and Wales on Wednesday, while 10,000 homes remained without power. A severe flood alert, meaning a danger to life, was announced for the River Nene in Northampton in central England. Several residents were evacuated from houseboats and caravans at the nearby Billing Aquadrome. The U.K.’s rail network was hit by flooding and power cuts, with many operators reporting ongoing issues for the Wednesday morning commute into work. The strongest gales in the U.K. were recorded on the Isle of Wight, just off the coast in southern England, where wind speeds reached 94 miles per hour (151 kilometers per hour).

Swedish Lapland is the place to visit to get the winter wonderland feeling. There's tons of snow, forests and wildlife. Lapland is in the north of Sweden, so you could also visit the Ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi, climb Kebnekaise mountain and coal mines in Kiruna. I was scrolling around during snow storm, just want to capture the perfect moment for this podcast. You can hear quite few cars moving, the soft tapping of snow falling on me and the foot steps. The place is a nature heaven. If you like snow and cold, this is the perfect place. Remember to subscribe to my channel. Appreciate all the support. Thank you!

Last week, a group of very important people, including the U.S Secretaries of State and Commerce and trade representatives from President Joe Biden's administration, met with top European Union officials in the heart of the Swedish Lapland for the fourth Ministerial meeting of the U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council, or “TTC”. Pressing needs were tackled, new initiatives were launched, commitments were made, and cooperation was deepened on a range of tech policy issues, at least according to the press releases. To hear an unvarnished view from someone who was at the meeting about what might actually come of it all, Justin Hendrix invited on a journalist who is, in my opinion, one the best tech policy reporters in the world: Mark Scott, Chief Technology Correspondent for Politico.

Savor the pleasure of being alive.    Aldous Huxley took his own advice to heart. “There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That's why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you're feeling deeply.” [Aldous Huxley ~ renowned 20th-century intellectual who wrote Brave New World]You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

Episode 22 - During a week Backdrop spent in the arctic region of Swedish Lapland, around Kebnekaiser, in March of 2022, we stayed in some remote huts belonging to the Swedish Tourist Association. Mats was the hut host at one of them - Tarfala - while we were there, making sure we were going to follow the rules, and crucially, how to operate the sauna. Have a listen as Mats describes how the very democratic Swedish hut system works, how he got his love for the mountains and becoming a hut host, along with a few tales of his experiences up there. (A little bit less of our FFS theme to this podcast - like, er none - enjoy!)

What's it like to live in permanent daylight for part of the year? Elizabeth Hotson travels around Swedish Lapland to see how one of the most modern economies in the world takes advantage of the twenty four hour summer sun. Elizabeth finds out how a hotel made of ice is kept frozen with solar power, and why the midnight sun is vital to the ancient tradition of reindeer herding in northern Sweden. We also hear how Sweden's mountain and nature tourism industry developed and why modern businesses like bars and restaurants can capitalise on the never-ending daylight. Plus, we hear from visitors experiencing the midnight sun for the first time. Producer: Elizabeth Hotson Presenter: Elizabeth Hotson Picture Credit: the midnight sun in Sweden via Getty Images

Today we catch up with Fredrik from Aurora Safari Camp in Swedish Lapland where the seasons are changing rapidly from winter 2 weeks ago to summer now, almost by-passing spring. Nature is thriving there at the moment. Also we introduce Kate from Kwando Safaris who talks about sightings in and around the Okavango Delta and Nxai Pan in Botswana. The water levels in the Okavango are at record levels and interesting wildlife sightings have been reported including denning wild dogs, a large coalition of lions and a tree-climbing cheetah. Welcome to the Wildlife & Wilderness Travel & Safaris show, the world's first and only podcast on wildlife safaris worldwide and sustainable tourism. This show's for everyone interested in eco-tourism, travel in the natural world and adventures to our planet's wild places. I'm your host, Dr. Steve Banner, biologist and Director of the travel company, Wildlife & Wilderness, providing high quality holiday experiences to thousands of clients for almost 25 years. For this month we have split the roundup into two parts, this being the second, for reasons explained in the first park. When we started thinking about podcasting for Wildlife & Wilderness we never ever thought that we would not be travelling. These are unusual times and we have taken the decision to reduce the frequency to twice monthly for the future. Of course when we do travel on research trips for wildlife holidays this will add a whole new aspect to the podcast show.

For this month we have split the roundup into two parts. These are unusual times and rather than the expected 5 or 10 minute briefing from colleagues, small lodge owners and managers around the world, we have entered into some deeper conversations. In this episode we explore conservation in Indian National Parks with Jehan from Shergarh Tented Camp and catch up with developments in the Pantanal wetlands of Brazil with Guiliano from Aymara Lodge. We'll release the second part of the monthly roundup tomorrow to keep some consistency. You may have noticed that we skipped a week last week after 3 months of weekly episodes. Coronavirus has allowed us to gain a good foothold of podcasts but each episode is of course considerable work and we now plan to continue twice monthly. Welcome to the Wildlife & Wilderness Travel & Safaris show, the world's first and only podcast on wildlife safaris worldwide and sustainable tourism. This show's for everyone interested in eco-tourism, travel in the natural world and adventures to our planet's wild places. I'm your host, Dr. Steve Banner, biologist and Director of the travel company, Wildlife & Wilderness, providing high quality holiday experiences to thousands of clients for almost 25 years. In this episode we discuss the ongoing problems of poaching for bush meat in Kanha National Park, India. This tiger reserve is popular for tiger safaris but the pandemic has meant increased pressure on the park. We discuss tolerance and conflicts and how the conservation model in India is organised. We also find out about the two tusker elephants that arrived last month in the national park. In the northern Pantanal of Brazil camera traps are throwing more light on the wildlife of this region. Here another giant armadillo has been discovered, there are numerous tapir and almost certainly more jaguars than giant anteaters. Four different ocelots have also been identified. We talk of other elusive cats too plus some mysterious camera trap captures of possible hunters on the land, perhaps a reflection of similar happenings to those in India. In the second part we will catch up with Fredrik in Swedish Lapland and take a look into Okavango Delta and other regions of Botswana.

Welcome to Wild Diaries, the monthly roundup of wildlife sightings and happenings in the natural world from around the globe. Stop and think for a moment, just what is happening right now out there in those wild places you would love to visit? Welcome the Wildlife & Wilderness Travel & Safaris show, the world's first and only podcast on wildlife safaris worldwide and sustainable tourism. This show's for everyone interested in eco-tourism, travel in the natural world and adventures to our planet's wild places. I'm your host, Dr. Steve Banner, biologist and Director of the travel company, Wildlife & Wilderness, providing high quality holiday experiences to thousands of clients for almost 25 years. For our second monthly news I'm delighted to again host some of the owners of small camps and lodges, just a few of the many that we work with to provide you unique experiences. As I've said before our tailor made holidays are always guided by what interests you. If you are planning your future travels do check out our website at www.wildlifewilderness.com or contact us by email podcasts@wildlifewilderness.com First off, we hear from Fredrik at Aurora Safari Camp in Swedish Lapland. @ 01:58 Fredrik talks a little about his background and introduces us to his small glamping location in the heart of northern Sweden. He is a keen photographer and regularly sees the northern lights in Winter. Now is a change of season and they have been testing a new product for next winter – the only hot air ballooning in Lapland. Ballooning over Lapland by day and the northern lights at night. Incredible! @14:05 Tyrone talks from Musekese safari camp about their latest sightings including new lion cubs to strengthen the local pride, the return of the elephants as the African bush of Kafue National Park dries out and the bird life still present on the lagoon in from of camp. Tyrone and his business partner Phil have also launched their own podcast, inspired by the Wildlife & Wilderness Travel & Safaris show they now host The Elephant's in the Room! Check it out on your favourite podcast app. @19:25 Jehan has some very unusual visitors to Kanha National Park in India. We had a few issues with power cuts so we pick up his story again but you do not miss anything. Hopefully we'll pick up on the elephants in Kanha next time before the national park closes for the monsoon. On the other side of the world is Tim McGrady from Farewell Harbour Lodge who was with us on the last Episode talking about Bears & Whales in Canada. He's back with us with another recent story. @25:48 he tells of a mischievous bear that they catch and unusually move and release back into the wild. However, it does not have a happy ending although the lessons learnt will be valuable in the future for bear conservation in the Great Bear Rainforest of Canada's west coast. @35:16 Finally, we join Giuliano back in the Pantanal wetlands of Brazil where at Aymara Lodge a mother caiman is moving her babies, the jaguar still seems to like the road and Giuliano is planning The Big Sit 24h bird watching. We look forward to bringing you further updates from around the world next month. If you've enjoyed our podcasts so far do subscribe and share with friends interested in wildlife & wilderness.

Sanne is half of a young Dutch couple that now live with their 33 huskies at a lodge in Lapland, northern Sweden. Her love for the dogs came from a single holiday dog sledding and now, during the winter months she runs private dog sled tours from short half day trips to long multi-day expeditions. She describes how they got started and learnt guiding before setting up their own business, Yellow Snow Husky Tours, 2 years ago. They grew their kennels from 3 huskies to the complement of dogs they have today. It is a year-round occupation although they dogs seem to enjoy their lazy time in the summer swimming in the lake and enjoying cuddles. Puppies are trained up and as autumn approaches they get into serious training so that when the snows finally arrive they are fit to run 40km or more each day. As each tour is for private guests, they carefully plan the trips to your abilities with a variety of routes to wilderness cabins. We talk about life around the cabin and the care of the dogs and the atmosphere of evenings spent with friends in the wilderness. Sanne explains her passion for dog sledding and also recounts tales of just how intelligent the dogs are in finding their way. We hear too of her own trips to the high mountains of Sweden trail finding with teams of 10 dogs and camping out in the vast wilderness. It is clear that she wants to keep the business small and personal offering unique husky dog sled tours to enthusiast clients. We welcome that approach.

Meet Elspeth Berry. I know Elspeth through the Scottish running community and she has certainly pushed herself to run over the past decade. Elspeth is a talented freelance musician and athlete living in the west of Scotland. Over the past 7 years she’s taken her drive to run and explore to another level of endurance, fuelled by a love of the outdoors and motivated to raise funds by tragic diagnoses in her family. Elspeth has run the 95-mile West Highland Way Race and many other ultras, and completed some monster self-styled adventures such as the Watershed, where she ran the entire 1,100km spine of Scotland's watershed, across over 40 munros and brutally unsociable terrain. This summer, she also ran the 450km Kungsleden trail through Swedish Lapland - a wild environment of bog, bridges, lake crossings and mosquitoes. Elspeth’s family have been through a lot since 2012, experiencing a stroke and Parkinson’s disease and all the changes in autonomy and caring roles that come with these devastating conditions. We dive into the detail of Elspeth's experiences with change, acceptance, anxiety, self-belief and adventure, and reflect on how such difficult times can also build momentum for more positive changes in life.

Sally speaks with biologist and infant sleep expert Dr Katharina Wulff about huge variations in infant sleep, cultural expectations we have regarding infant sleep, and how accepting the immense variability in their sleep and instead learning about their needs helps babies' brains develop. The interview concludes with Katharina sharing her concerns about sleep for children and teens, and how to support teens moving into their adult years. As a biologist Katharina applied her scientific knowledge, as well as her own intuition, to each stage of raising her son. Their family is now living in northern Sweden and Katharina's son, Jann Billker, now 15, spends as much time as he can in Swedish Lapland a further 6 hours north.

Despite the threat from North Korea to fire missiles towards Guam, we find a surprising calm on the island. Kate Adie introduces correspondents’ stories from around the world. From Guam, Rupert Wingfield Hayes has the latest developments in the war of words between the US and North Korea. Secunder Kermani hears tales of the horrific violence that followed the Partition of India 70 years ago but finds little remorse amongst some of its perpetrators. Hannah Armstrong visits Cape Verde where European migrants are starting new lives in Africa. In Cuba, Will Grant finds that the 'battle against bureaucracy', launched by the late Fidel Castro in 1965, is far from over. Simple tasks like paying your rent can still take hours. And in Swedish Lapland, Elizabeth Hotson goes down to the woods in search of a big surprise, and a bear.

Beyond the Ultimate's resident media guy and Everything Endurance co-host, Will (aka @baldlygo), recently completed the Ice Ultra in Swedish Lapland. After making his way through 230km of Europe's last remaining wilderness we thought it might be a good idea to have him tell you about what he learnt on the other side of the arctic circle. So here is a special one off podcast of Will's Top Ten Tips for surviving on the Ice. Here he discusses arctic admin, Ice Ultra cuisine wilderness fashion essentials and much more. Head to the Beyond the Ultimate YouTube channel to watch the videos and take a look at some of the kit he's describing!

Tillsammans med Swedish Lapland bjuder jag på ett specialavsnitt helt inspelat på Vildmarksmässan 2016. Swedish Laplands monter vann i år pris för bästa monter och i deras läger träffade jag bland annat den sprudlande matkreatören Eva Gunnare som driver Essense of Lapland, jag pratar med STF och Top of Arjeplog. Men inte minst så fick jag äntligen en chans att intervjua Rolf och Markus som jobbar med det mytiska Lemmelkaffe. Vår lilla pratstund från stora Vildmarksscenen spelades in och finns nu i detta avsnitt. Hör om simmande lämlar, bönor rostade av lämlars kroppsvärme och om kosmisk strålning. Avsnittet producerades i samverkan med Swedish Lapland och projektet Destination Capacity Building in Swedish Lapland, finansierat av Europeiska regionala utvecklingsfonden. Mer information om projektet finns på swedishlaplandvisitorsboard.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

For a Christmas special Helen Mark visits the snow covered landscape of Swedish Lapland in search of the mythical, and often elusive, Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. In Sami culture the lights are thought to emanate from the souls of the dead and must be treated with immense respect. Traditionally the Sami remained indoors during a display but today the chance of seeing the Northern Lights brings many visitors to this remote part of Sweden. Helen Mark hears about the mythology which surrounds the Aurora and travels by sled, snowmobile and foot to try to catch a glimpse for herself. Along the way she uncovers a dramatic mountainous landscape.
