still exists it's the oldest in the world and the only one made off real ice and snow they only use artificial so when they have to and you don't have to be an olympic athlete to use it i've heard people scared for it but our a dare devil europe to the max reporter henrik bellowing is very brave and he will be traveling to the wilds places and europe for us. some call it the world's biggest ice sculpture. others say it's the finest bobsled run ever for your max reporter and the big belling it's mainly a challenge he's planning to go down it in a four man bobsled. this bob run is legendary. it's actually

rebuilt every winter it lies at an altitude of around eight hundred fifty meters and the end of the southeast tip of the swiss alps near summer it's. a bobsled run in this right now the winter sports paradise is the world's only natural i saw track. meet the more adventurous spirits can book a ride in a forman bobsled it's piloted by a professional in this case by myself two time world cup winner and olympic silver medalist he knows how to reach the bottom in one piece as a baby. you can't move around much with four of us in there you can move your head and you should really use this run to look around of course at some. what you might not be able to take it and pull your head back down. but try to look back up and experience that feeling of speed late edition because the feeling from speed albine winter tourism was all but invented and sent merits as of eight hundred sixty four

british tourists began coming here for the many hours of winter sunlight nowadays the town with a population of around five thousand is known as a playground for the rich and beautiful. the pot museum in neighboring tells all about the origins of bobsledding in the nineteenth century those first winter tourists wanted to have some fun they started out running their primitive sleds down roads and forest fads and then eventually down the new barbara. the olympia bob run st moritz so arena has been rebuilt every winter in exactly the same spot since one thousand nine hundred four making it the world's oldest. the over seventeen hundred meter track always winds through one thousand curves all made exclusively of ice and snow it needs no concrete foundation. the fifteen builders set to work every winter after the first snow fall. using just

shovels and bulldozers they complete the new track within three weeks. the course is the same every year but the track itself is never identical making it out of natural eyes always results in slight variations. that makes it all the more challenging for the pilots. who asked why i always had the same image in mind from the year before and then when you come back standing in december and you can go down again you have to readjust to it and then learn it's quite a noise that's the attraction this is a natural ice track and the last one in the world. was foam and this is the late. move. there now you're an actual puerto hendrik belling is ready to give it a try. with a somewhat queasy feeling he climbs into the two hundred kilo bobsled. in

the curves the writers are subjected to a gravitational force up to five times their own body weight. the bobsled reaches speeds of up to one hundred forty kilometers per hour. or. it was amazing it was like the weirdest thing i've ever done my legs were shaking he was still shaking and. it's just this is unbelievable really unbelievable. well he made it not quite in record time but i think belling has good

reason to raise a toast he survived his baptism of ice on the world's oldest barbara. it looks a bit like this in my hallway at home and if you occasionally oughta things from the internet you might know what i'm talking about around the world billions of packages are sent every year and that means masses of bubble wrap foam and packaging material and nightmare for everyone i guess but not forces then young men's and iris from the netherlands she takes these materials and creates amazing works inspired by renaissance artists. these works from the old dutch master. address make from bubble wrap.

and head covering fashion from. old packaging of the raw material suzanne young man uses to create her work. at a studio in the. the artist all kinds of stuff normally used to pack and protect items for shipping. as far as she's concerned these materials should be recycled. even as a child was fascinated by her mother's art books. to this day by

the flemish painting of the fifteenth and sixteenth century especially the portrayed. she doesn't just reproduce their works. from fourteenth. instead she reinterprets them with the help of. plastic sheeting. to have a. i like the looks like it but then when you look closer then you can see that it's. artwork. so it's a little bit of this time a little bit of the old times. next she makes preparations for the

photo shoot. up cycled into a halo. the model's jewelry also has a past life as packing peanuts. during the shoot suzanne young man trying to capture the perfect picture she takes hundreds of shots focusing on different sections and details. this is why paint so to speak. so for pictures and then put them together on the computer so it's it is not about the moment. basis off. of every frame and put them together like a painter would. suzanne young man's words and lives with her family in down around an hour's drive south of amsterdam. she studied art and has been creating works from packaging waste since two thousand and

seven. well i'm not looking for filing and i guess i wasn't looking for a. girl right. so i think i'm going to and i'm going to make something out of this after the photos have all been shot the most time consuming work begin this young man who spends weeks in her studio piecing together of individual images. dozens of different shots to create a single picture. not only is she able to achieve a depth that's virtually impossible to capture in ordinary photographs this gives her pictures a kind. if hyper realistic take. a twenty first century take on a fifteenth century masterpiece young man's interpretation of young man i guess the virgin mary from the kent altarpiece. thrusting an idea into his go along with the silly it's seems just opening

a box of. little things a good idea to do something with it at first i don't know why but then it evolves into something i really like. photographs sound for around five thousand euros or more to masterpieces are proof that one woman's trash is another woman's trash. your flight more of suzanne young men's fascinating work online our facebook page next the avenue guard bauhaus movement celebrates its five hundred anniversary this year the focus was on merging design with industry to provide well designed products from any better certainly not the case anymore if you want a powerhouse classic you have to have very deep pockets architect bonbon

elemental decided to get back to the original idea make your own design plastics with how. my name is and i'm introducing to you of these wooden stool inspired by. this design is so super versatile the more you have the greater the possibilities it's a little bit like building blocks you can combine them to make a chair or table or even a wall let's go build gil need four pieces of wood get them professionally cut or star just so for the tools we need an electric drill a pen a ruler and ten groups to start we'll measure seventeen centimeters in

on both ends of the larger board and draw a line between both points then we'll set two screws along the line each before sending meters from the edge now we can attach the two longboards together in a t. shirt. next will attach one of the small aborts to the side one screw length is four centimeters this is the amount you need to insert from the edge attach four screws two to each connecting the. finally we had searched the other end piece. and that's it so quick and simple and so versatile.

the wooden stool is inspired by the minimalist the design of bauhaus the most influential design school of the twentieth century there was one student at bauhaus his name. was max bill and he created it wouldn't which looked like these it consisted just of three simple boards which were connected this piece of wood this minimalistic design actually stood for one of the core principles of bauhaus less is more are you ready for more minimalistic design for your own home go build the wooden store. that went quick if you need to double check that you are building everything correctly just go to our new you tube channel youtube dot com flash the w your next you'll also find are all bobsled report plus many more cool stories from

consent of us notice that which means naked care and goods. i mean. opening a can and seeing a product in all its glory about its colors and spray grins taste and aroma i love it every time i mean the most and. every sorry kenneled his enthusiasm into a business idea two and a half years ago he opened the restaurant complained of us nudist imagery the name roughly translates as naked preserves forget farm to table dining this is all about ten to table green olives for example with anchovies and pepperoni preparation time two minutes. mickey eerie sorry also serve some hot food but the restaurant doesn't have an actual kitchen. because this is an ox tail stew which we serve with

green and white beans from as our regional it's a very tasty. the upscale and white beans dish cost eighteen year olds making it the most expensive on the menu a few minutes in the microwave and it's good to go. canned food is considered a delicacy in spain from going to see in scallops an olive oil typical pepperoni from now about. mickey ears sorry travels clear across spain tracking down the best of the country has to offer. i've found a lot of my suppliers because they have websites. there are other manufacturers we've just stumbled across by chance. then we just knock on the door and arrange a tasting it's a voyage of discovery. grew up in madrid and

spent twenty years working as a t.v. producer you always dreamt of opening his own eatery specialized in preserved. and because when i was growing up we ate loads of. serb's by the time i was twelve or fourteen my friends were always buying candy and i'd be buying tins of marinated mussels. and heritage my love preserves for my father. and i passed it on to my children preserve food plays a big part of my life and how i eat and. that applies to the whole of spain it's a world leader in camp reserves from seafood to fruits and vegetables. the range of ten preserves available in madrid is fast but quality varies a lot to. the best preserves can be found in covered markets. like here at the macau that is sometimes in the neighborhood of

chile. are going to be. like me or some of the preserves are a staple ingredient in spanish cuisine but they're usually eaten as a snack contemp a spouse a restaurant devoted to food from tins and jobs is something of a novelty. restaurants tend to use lots of preserves but just as one element in a dish. in concept of us know the stuff we make an entire dish out of canned foods . we don't add anything. this preserves food doesn't just have intense flavor it's also highly nutritious with a high protein mineral and fi to mean content. for you. these days mickey sorry each redraws of lots of regulars. it could be this whatever you order it's really special and you always leave feeling full in the beginning i know some it's

clubs he is just as comfortable playing big hole as he is play in modern pop songs . the many faces of its kind are we giant a musician who doesn't like to be pigeonholed musically or personally the berliner with indonesian roots is an exceptional violinist who finds inspiration outside the world of classical music some call him eclectic but he says the music is all that matters. to me we make music to touch people to move them and to reach a point where we ourselves are so touched on stage that we can move others but it doesn't work any other way or a method from. indonesia is kind are we jaya visits his

parents homeland regularly he's a major star here. appearances in car shows and t.v. shows have made him a household name in indonesia here he performs in big concert halls like last year in jakarta at this benefit gala for tsunami victims. i was attempting this balancing act pop star in indonesia classical artist in germany where you are but then i decided that i only come as a package deal so even if i'm performing entails in indonesia and playing for the president or for him i try to remain true to myself and be as authentic as possible . at a club in cologne germany. is kind are we giant doesn't just perform classical music he plays everything from johann sebastian bach to a cover of chandelier from pop star sia.
