she began writing music when she was five she got her first violin at age three but was already playing simple melodies on the piano at the tender age of two. i always. went out with the big banks and i would i would always listen to it. when i was three think as i listened to. a beautiful song i think it's tough because i would listen to that when i went to sleep and i remember how much i loved it and i wanted to listen to it again and again and then i afterwards i asked my parents how can you use it because i'm going to find. and ever since then i've been wanting to compose.

i would much rather be composing than. go to school and i have friends lots of friends anyway and i know except for music and i'm normal i love climbing trees and skipping and jumping the trampoline and having ice cream so. i don't think i miss much. they perform her work. on her travels she's accompanied by her father. daughter a well known linguist she's surrounded by professional musicians the orchestra conductor and organizer of the festival ballet has to be. i think it will be better it's not so overpowering

been. difficult to do if you know i have to fly out of a young no because i have to do something there tomorrow. and the day after tomorrow. i fly back to berlin a whole body of us is it's a bit complicated but it's ok. you get busy life. almost torture of wunderkind who was always on the goal. the five men featured in this week's high five we're all highly gifted soon but they had something else in common as well they were all vegetarians unlike today where that full industry has long since adapt it's to catering to people who don't eat meat it was a bit more complicated but here are. five thing this europeans who you probably didn't know were pushed ariens. is there a link between great intelligence and

a vegetarian lifestyle that's not clear what we do know however is that genius physicist albert einstein adopted a vegetarian diet in the later stages of his life. einstein fifth in a ranking of famous european vegetarians once penned a letter saying he believes humans weren't born to be meat eaters that's one of einstein's theories that has yet to be proven. this historical figure meanwhile was one of the world's greatest natural scientists born in seven hundred sixty nine in berlin alexander for humboldt traveled the globe exploring its many wonders. he comes in at fourth place on our list convo chose a vegetarian lifestyle not only because of his respect for animals but also for ecological reasons he once wrote where a hunter lives ten shepherds one hundred farmers and a thousand gardeners can live wise words. this man is

regarded as russia's finest writer of all time leo tolstoy born in nine hundred twenty eight he adopted a very healthy lifestyle as he grew older. tolstoy takes third place in our ranking at some stage the writer decided to do without alcohol cigarettes and meat. he said to have served his aunt a live chicken once along with a big knife and then supposedly told her you wanted chicken but none of us would kill it so you have to do it yourself. you know month old going from good to born in frankfurt in seven hundred forty nine had a lifelong hunger for knowledge is your vacation as a writer and poet is stellar and he also devoted much time to the natural sciences it was also health conscious and therefore opted for vegetarian fare putting him in second place are famous vegetarians drinking. good to was convinced that

abstaining from meat was good for his brain and besides that he couldn't stand animal cruelty either. but this man arguably surpasses the hmong leonardo da vinci born in fourteen fifty two in italy is one of the brightest minds ever to have walked this earth given she was an artist scientist architect and inventor he takes the top spot in our ranking not for his many achievements but for his impressive commitment to terri and as a given she swore off meat when he was young and once prophesied the time will come when men will look upon the murder of animals as they look upon the murder of man. what images come to mind when you think of the typical gentleman somebody who dress like a madman on the motorway flashing his lights at anyone who doesn't get out of office

away fast enough all spends his sundays polishing his much be left col well maybe our new facebook series that so gentleman would show he might just be. right. that's so. one two week cartoonist may go crimen days pokes fun at. typically johnny idiosyncracies. so we go weekly dose of german humor. i don't know but to the c.w. duramax facebook page. but although i am german i'm not at all like that but that is what all germans say now on a more serious note natural. of the kind of thing that most of us try to avoid

for instance a volcano eruption burning heat and flowing lava and not the sort of things that make me want to hang around in iceland we met a guy who sees things very differently act in a zealots on is a photographer who specialized in volcanoes full more than thirty years now. molten lava fiery destruction and breathtaking beauty at the same time these photos capture the moment when of all painterly rocks they were taken by an icelandic photographer ragnar sigurdsson. across from photograph not. rush but it's over for all pushes you to agreement creatively you have to be very creative you have to be on your toes. he loves that one of ok no comes to life

it gets as close as possible whether with his s.u.v. or a small plane. i've been very close i've been you know the beats away from growing . it's going very slowly. it's a safe distance. of course. about three hundred. mostly because i'm scared because things are happening and you know you're in first and i knew that. ragnar first rose to fame through his photos of iceland's most famous volcano the high if you outlaw your coat. the ash it produced when it erupted in two thousand and ten grounded flights across europe ragnar took ten thousand photos of the volcano breaking. through thinks for things to happen to see europe and its south because it's. the clouds of the one thousand.

and everything everywhere and you can see the five. just stay there for hours and if. for more than thirty years no ragnar sigurdsson has been photographing landscapes and nature motifs all over the far north from greenland and norway to the north pole. but few places have as many natural wonders as his native iceland known as the land of fire and ice its one hundred thirty volcanoes and hot geysers of shape iceland's national identity. it's not the kind of just i think the whole nation is like that we all love their options. it's not their church i mean sometimes it can be made a good church can be life threatening but we have been blessed the past decades we

only have it kind of. what are called tourist attractions. a photo shoot at a crater landscape near reykjavik it was created by a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago. capturing images of the volcanic rock under different light conditions fascinates ragnar sigurdsson. he's always aiming to try out new technologies and techniques. using a drone here experiments with unusual perspectives he says he's always on the hunt for the next killer shot. and there's always. another day another light another situation another perspective. another way to do it or wish. you never it's never done. ragnar sigurdsson remains true to his favorite subject the next volcanic eruption and i slammed is sure to come possibly with just
