killie's has proven to be a stress resistant companion and he's a cat who's interested in football. during the confederations cup he turned out to be a great oracle he predicted all matches correctly without a single mystical. achilles is currently undergoing intensive training in a camp café to further refine his natural can't sense he supposed to predict the winner by choosing a bowl of cat food emblazoned with the colors of the participating teams the hermitage is home to about fifty cats which like a killing live mainly in the cellar hunting mice. paris and seeking cultural heritage status for its bistros an initiative that actors launched the campaign to get these little restaurants and cafes recognized as endangered barrows of a unique parisians out of living they describe the bistro as

a lively place. a place to share with the people of paris in january president and manuel mccoy announced that he would apply for the next to world cultural heritage status for the baguette. superior romania is currently hosting its twenty fifth international theater festival one of the largest of its kind. for more than a week theater groups and performers from seventy three countries will be presenting their takes on this year's theme fashion. more than five hundred events around the program ranging from dance to acrobatics to classical theater. to festival concludes on june seventeenth organizers expect more than seven hundred thousand yes. i took my surfing to some twenty years ago at the standby gallegly in munich that

was windsurfing of course you didn't see any service without a save there until now with a new piece of sports equipment you don't need window waves for surfing it was invented by an engineer from bavaria we took a closer look at it to see whether it really works. search is down no wind no waves but inventor marcus shooter and his test surfer are introducing you're out on the lake anyway. the two have come up with a way to surf on calm water. the problem is that i invented it because i like to surf but i never managed to catch the good waves in the atlantic and i'm no mechanical engineer so i just installed an engine but. she sure had the idea for the easter for a while he was still a student but it took him quite some time to develop the technology with it in his

garage and over until it was actually possible to realize his idea the result is a whole new piece of sports equipment. but i've tried ways to set the speed one has with his digital knob fixed on the board to start and i start off in a line of decision at the speed i'll stand up and keep on surfing or i can set or correct the speed with this newly developed a bluetooth gauge using touch control. finally the easier for is ready to go into mass production the propeller under the board makes it go. the battery on top last for up to thirty minutes a safety system is built in as well. attaching this magnetic switch activates the board and the way the safety system what if i fall off the line fires out the magnetic switch and the cord stops and make it like that but that's what's good. for his invention markers sure sure won the gold award in the

water sports section at the i.r.s. pos sporting goods fair in munich this can if extended what the trickiest part was actually getting the board completely waterproof so the electronics wouldn't get wet at the same time using the water to cool down the whole system there's so much power in the. thought that it would overheat pretty fast if there were no cooling system so the big challenge was keeping the water out or where it should be going for the commonwealth is all about that but often talking with me for. the inventor says almost as tricky as building it was getting the board approved for various lakes it took him about three years but now the easter for his license for operation on the major barbarian lakes including lakes turn back the public can try one out at the boat rental. this year is getting inquiries from all over europe and the united states and he's achieved his original surfing goal twelve and i've been on atlantic waves with it but the boards too dangerous for breakers so i think it's too heavy on the propellers too dangerous for other surfaces but it's perfect for

riding on the swell father to me atlantic a little room for the op but i can. mark issues you're still builds each easier for by hand as indicated by the twelve thousand euro price tag what he's looking for now is an investor so he can take his boards into mass production. and we continue with another extraordinary invention from the netherlands here in europe urban living spaces becoming increasingly scarce in fact here in berlin it is really hard to find an affordable apartment maybe the so-called victory house could be the solution it's a cop court house that doesn't sound very comfortable and as a kind of imagine it wouldn't be very suitable for cold and stormy days would it well let's take it out. if we think of

a cardboard house most of us think of cardboard boxes that kids make into play houses but the vehicle house created by dutch inventor rene snell is designed to be an actual two wedding for grown ups. company fiction factory has developed a house that can be produced in different sizes that's windowed weatherproof and can be set up almost anywhere. the founder of fiction factory is holding. up by the idea. of books. yep a revolutionary book because i think all books cardboard makers like this because the books would last too long and then he talking with a friend. about it and he said. it's so strong you can make a house. of this concept. the biggest problem was to make the cardboard houses waterproof the solution was twenty four layers of high quality cardboard but held

together by an adhesive and coated with a waterproof air permeable protective foil wooden siding provides additional protection the cardboard is wrapped around a mold that's house shaped this method gave the concept its name little house all wrapped house for use fear the third fourth is layer is holding a lot of air. and becoming a threat for all friends it's also it's directly ours. a cardboard house is made up of segments and can easily be added on to the pluses on minimalism and mobility this is the essence of the vehicle house concept. tiny houses are gaining more and more fans.

this specimen is located in the austrian state of styria the weatherproof wooden structure belongs to much. and patroness from cots living in bedroom cooking area and off are all squeezed into twenty two square metres they had reasons for wanting a tiny house non-constant they don't concentrate on arranging rearranging at pre-arranged you keep your eye on the basics the. tiny houses set no limits on the imagination as a nearly endless variety of layouts like a tower. or an egg shaped living have. three houses and design a you're the trend toward downsizing isn't driven so much by necessity as by a change in consciousness most tiny houses are also mobile. the one in austria was brought from the factory in spain by truck it can be moved any time that dispenses with one of the main disadvantages of home ownership. we don't

know where we're going to be in two three years or five years so it was important to us to have the ability to take this house with us any time. the vicar house is also flexible enough that it doesn't require a solid foundation it's delivered in sections and assembled on site but the interior deck or furnishings are entirely up to the owners one to one or more bedrooms anything is possible as long as it's done lengthwise the vicar house could only be expanded in one direction. but if you mean david well i think it can last a long time and we have of course books from four or five or six years old so paper itself has already proven itself for hundreds of years. long narrow single story fickle houses wouldn't be very practical for cities with

a shortage of space. one of the fantasies we have but we have two and we have to focus on. no he said it's very strong with cardboard so what will happen if we put one on top like this and we have to make a floor in near. the smallest variation on the physical house consisting of three sections with a total of fifteen square meters cost around thirty thousand euros and there's a waiting list of buyers for now fiction factory can only produce twelve pickle houses. yeah maybe one day there will be even smaller version of it a victory for docs that was certainly be something for our candidates and our high five serious today because it's all about man's friend. here are. five popular breeds of dog you probably didn't know he had european places of origin. and. if liam burgers looked like lions

it's no coincidence they were named after the southern german town of lay on bear whose crest features a lion according to legend the town's mayor heinrich who was also a dog breeder one of the pooch that would mimic the lion on the crest of the land barrier was born it's number five in our ranking of dog breeds named after european places. and. there's even a monument dedicated to it in the medieval city. people love photographing saint bernards with kegs around their necks but the dogs never rescued anyone with them what's certain is that the dogs were bred to help in mountain rescue operations by monks in the hospice at the great st bernard pass in the french alps. our number for saint bernards it soon became popular all over the world but it's been decades since they were last used in rescue operations they're

simply too big and too heavy. are number three in this week's ranking is the vajrayana this one nine hundred centuries for its hunting skills the dog exudes an aristocratic air. after all it originated at the courts of the grand duke of sucks of weimar is not. which was based in the city of weimar. the dog's biggest fan following seems to be in the united states. artists like them to some call them weimar's most famous native sons spend daughters even more famous than weimar's poet or to. rottweilers come in second place in the wrong hands and if they're not well trained they can be lethal according to legend they were first read by the romans to

protect cattle against wild animals rather. this way the ins of southern germany later used them to herd livestock and pull meat laden carts to markets the docks were named after the town of was once a center of livestock trading now the dogs have a scary reputation. and yet they're often as meek as lambs. all these breeds are old that they've got nothing on the dell nation are number one in the ranking. pups are born with a plain white coat but start developing spots from the age of ten days or so. they're said to have the originated in donations in what is now throwing it radical just. a little. over the centuries del nations have become quite fashionable. after all black and white never goes out of style.
