This luxury treehouse just opened in the forests of northern Sweden – it's just as amazing as its predecessors

Northern Sweden offers endless swathes of pine tree forest, and endless daylight or darkness, depending on season.

A family-run hotel wants to offer you that experience and more - from above ground.

The 7th Room treehouse is the latest addition to the now world-famous Treehotel in northern Sweden, which offers visitors luxury lodging in the middle of the forest.

The hotel was founded in 2004 by Britta Jonsson-Lindval and her husband. Located in Harads, some 80 kilometers inland from the coast in Swedish Lapponia, the hotel has become most famous through the surreal Mirrorcube.

The Treehotel now contains seven different lodgings, all in modern, Scandinavian design, seemingly hovering among the tree canopies.

How the director of the new 'Lego Movie' made Batman great again

"The Lego Batman Movie."

Warner Bros.

There's just something about Batman that gets audiences excited.

Whether he's in comic-book form, a playful 1960s TV character, or the focus of a brooding feature-length blockbuster, the Dark Knight is a character we just can't get enough of - even in Lego form.

That was evident when one of the highlights from the 2014 "The Lego Movie" was the appearance of the Lego Batman, a self-centered hero who did everything on his own terms and was voiced perfectly by Will Arnett. He was so popular, in fact, that once the movie came out it was obvious Warner Bros. should make a spin-off movie dedicated to Batman.

Tasked with pulling that off was Chris McKay. Known within the animation world for directing episodes of the Adult Swim show "Robot Chicken," as well as working on the visual effects and editing side of the show's "Star Wars" movies, McKay was also the editor and codirector on Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's "The Lego Movie." McKay was even in charge of the movie's animation and rendering when Lord and Miller had to go and direct "22 Jump Street."

The approval comes from the German inspection and certification organization Tüv Süd, which has classified the app in the medicinal category of IIb.

As many as 13,000 people were hanged in five years at a notorious Syrian prison near Damascus, Amnesty International has said, accusing the government of a "policy of extermination".

Titled "Human Slaughterhouse: Mass hanging and extermination at Saydnaya prison," Amnesty's damning report, released on Tuesday, is based on interviews with 84 witnesses, including guards, detainees, and judges.

It found that at least once a week between 2011 and 2015, groups of up to 50 people were taken out of their prison cells for arbitrary trials, beaten, then hanged "in the middle of the night and in total secrecy.

The name Tobiloba Isaac Jolaoso might mean nothing to you but his moniker Kingtblakhoc is popular on social media.

I stumbled on Kingtblakhoc in 2015. A babe shared his risqué photos on her timeline on Twitter. I didn't believe what I saw and went to check out his Instagram account. Kingtblakhoc is the real deal- Nigeria's first open pornstar.

Most of the porn that's sold and consumed in Nigeria are mostly foreign. The small percentage of Naija porn clips online are leaked amateur sex clips that found its way into the wrong hands.

David Beckham’s squeaky-clean image as a British cultural icon has taken a battering following the leaking of expletive-strewn emails in which he apparently raged about not receiving a knighthood.

But there has been a backlash against Beckham from sections of Britain’s tabloid media.

Monday’s Daily Mail spoke of the “Shame of Saint Becks”, with a columnist pronouncing him “a foul-mouthed, determined egotist” who had used charity work as part of an “increasingly desperate” bid for a knighthood.

Reports which emerged on Friday said the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star refused to put his own money into his humanitarian 7 Fund and tried to obtain reimbursement from the UN children’s agency UNICEF for expenses met by his sponsors.
