two lovebirds one big happy family. and the couple stalked monina waits every spring for her partner cliff the town to return zero nature from africa. and it's a romance that without the help of convoke it would never have come to pass in. which god has also means a lot to me to see that i'm able to help someone what else am i to do i'm a pensioner and it's a way for me to relax but financially it's overwhelming. the retired school caretaker lives in the small city of slovyansk he brought in the eastern part of croatia. during the spring and summer it's a popular breeding area for stalks but molina has to spend the winter here as well a gunshot wound left her unable to fly which means she would never be able to

forage for her chicks. but for the last twenty five years stephen bocage has been doing that for her. the pensioner spends most of his monthly stipend on feet. from. visitors most of beating them is the hardest part i can't fly and catch grasshoppers and frogs which is what they be to nature so i feed the meat instead. of social middle school. each day step one makes about ten trips to the roof of his garage to care for the growing stalk family stephen's wife died eight years ago and just children have moved out so he's able to lavish all his attention on elena and her family and all this the embers will follow their father to africa. sold only last that he had served on you it's worse for me than when my own children leave him alone school to spend every minute of the day with them. getting their

healed she'd fly over the. last olympic. that was twenty five years ago at the beginning of a remarkable friendship. that money has made credit on a ride nine years later. to get out they have now raised sixty seven checks. he. knows the words you want your school know the truth the two of us will send a lot more of your children off to africa they will pull for the awfully queer little. girl to. put it in. some affections come back each year and have chicks and around the capital and takes off in august stephen and melina stay behind he drives her around and chance or other animal so she won't feel lonely. in evenings they watch t.v. together. and come in and capital our

famous intro i sure some fans send pictures others have written plays there even mascots for a brand of mineral water. but not that helps to plan to pay the bills. and it's getting more and more expensive to feed the historic. storage of subframe. what should i do i couldn't leave them even if i got a hundred brigitte bardot some return. you can make up so if i leave her in the woods the foxes will get her i've always said as long as i can still crawl all rob a bank i'll do what i can to help them. to keep things from going that far which is now trying to find sponsors for the young storks.

i mean your mom's has applied and you go child. everybody say hi to max. hi max me. you are what you eat at least that is how the saying goes so what if you could round up all the data that is shared or that is collected on you on a daily basis and turn it into a meal and the idea of a kind of meal you might be served well two creative entrepreneurs decided to tackle this idea and simplify the way we see statistics so for the next part in our series dining with a difference we see how they break down big data into bite sized pieces which people can digest literally. abstract statistics take on a whole new meaning here i did a cuisine workshops people create dishes that say far more than what's written in the recipe. for instance the percentage of women in science in different countries

is represented here by the size of the egg yolks. susana jasko and more stuff on our whipped up the idea for data cuisine all over europe they conduct today cooking workshops where data is turned into dishes. just atoms and i thought we need to get people interested in the data that's out there. doesn't i thought fuck because they're facts from it and that not everyone can relate to these statistics all the world of numbers and time. on the so we used food to try to find a medium that's personal and emotional and which you can use to tell the stories found in this data. and come to an induction schtick. participants decide which statistics to use ideally those that come from their surroundings and that they find personally relevant jasko and chef on a call that local data. this workshop is being held in shown below belgium here at

the university of leisure smart gastronomy lab they use state of the art kitchen appliances there's even a three d. printer for making chocolates are len one workshop participant shows that day to cuisine is even suited to darker more somber topics are idea is to play all the bells and trailing it's chocolate you're never sure what's inside and so we're making these small chocolate. and we will fill them with various fillings that represent the ways that people die and. now it's time to put their ideas into action to make sure the database dishes also. taste good purchase appends received tips from a professional chef arlin burt is creating the various fillings that stand for the different causes of death for six hours the designer from antwerp feels prelims until they reflect the situation in belgium. the premiums are waiting for their

photo op it's important to document the various data dishes before they're eaten. the other goodies are also taking shape they cover a wide range of topics from the motivation level of belgian workers to nuclear power these participants tackled the topic of whether april in europe can see temperatures typical of all four seasons. the result is an edible calendar for the month and send them to us my kindly rude isn't a medium we normally use to present information it's also not terribly precise you really can't say whether something tastes twice is youth or three times as sweet still consuming something that takes such a sensuous form makes you look at data differently. because that's what data cuisine aims to do help people internalize data in the truest sense of the word

that's why participants eat the dishes together at the end of the workshop while explaining the stories behind them. europe at its best your imax brings you the highlights on instagram stunning landscapes spectacular buildings and mouthwatering delicacy our reporters are constantly on the look out with their cameras we look forward to your comments check out our your max instagram stories and discover how exciting and diverse europe can be. on instagram. one man who is at the top of the statistics in his feet. fave ics pouting and bag he's one of the world's best b.m.x. cyclists at the age of seven he entered his first b.m.x. competition and by the age of fifteen he was winning gold medals now he's preparing for next month's x. games in the u.s. and his chances for victory look good as he's already the clear favorite to win in
