wife had done it. she had a news and that's how it all began that 1st painting. with. the proud father posted his son's painting on facebook with unexpected results prospective buyers contacted him. paints 2 to 4 works of. he's a darling of the media and arc circles together with german national team goalkeeper manual noir he painted the picture that was auctioned off to benefit underprivileged children 411000 euros. good mikail is a painting he attends school like any other child. but he sure was school final what did you do. good art good start on the day. his father gave up his job in a company sales department now he devotes his energy to managing his son and he

tries not to demand too much. or a very careful to make sure it doesn't get to be too much for me. if it does we put on the brakes immediately. we don't accept all the invitation is you we get so many offers that we have to turn down many from abroad because you want to protect our child. constricts and. this time they're headed to a company where mikhail's works are turned into prints for a limited edition the young artist is painting over 5 copies of his composition billie jean an interpretation of the song by his idol michael jackson. how does he find this inspiration. i have sometimes i have my own ideas or when i look up and these really normal ideas come into my mind from above.

michael planned then i paint and i'm finished on the much of. that based on a show to point out that the next day i paint again. as a finishing touch mickael paints a signature of each prince his father developed it for him before mikhail learned how to write. we can know a car is a brand that isn't chanted the our markets. i cannot is good for a 7 year old boy this is wild in any case she's very talented you can see that right away because the plans are for the speakers can't wait to see where he goes from here not develop a style all his own. exhibitions in paris new york are already planned for this little artist. and now we're off to london from some and colorful that is where the elevated design studio raw edge is based its founders have just received the designer of the year award at the i am and furnishing fair

in cologne let's see what makes their work so outstanding. they're movable colorful and remarkable creations of london design duo raw edges. and shy also they receive the award for their playful approach to materials and functions. we try to inspire people by ideas and then you only think about the mocking and going to be inspiring it's going to be beautiful 'd going to be a nice kind of mission with a client and then oh wait you get an award. i think. exciting isn't it. both originally from israel they met while studying. there a couple professionally and in private they founded right edges in 2009 there

products are a folding chair and a folding lamp for leave a ton decor for vittra and the stock drawer system for stablished and sons. i have a very strong interest in 3 dimensional unfolding. she has a very particular interest in movement books and very strong interest in colors so it's very it's very. but it's. an idea and. individual approach involves sketching out patterns much like to do for clothes a couple trying to design furniture that attach to the body shape. for the kathleen label is an example. but unique about it is that it consists of an open ear skin filled with expanding foam in the past we didn't. want a one size so we just. draw on a large scale of. it and then we had like humans and then we took the phone

and then this hollow paper that cannot hold the weight of a person after it busy was. the word of a person and. the design of the county chair for a telly and label moreau so is also based on a simple idea it looks a bit like a toothpaste tube cut in half. colors of materials plate equally important roles for raw edges. the designers experiment with various techniques such as boiling wood. that gets die all through the grain and makes the color more durable and longer lasting. shy oakley likes to work with wood of different colors that's cut across instead of with the grain as usual. geometric patterns are formed as here and the finger stately home chatsworth 2015. to get any grain but then we developed this

system that we called in the studio burger and sausages and wasting very good we mean that we take the friend. words. together we really need it for near in between ringback and then we once this is. we slice it through different thicknesses and then we can do it again and once we doing the 2nd stage that's what we call this sausage you see tipping is another technique the designer team has often worked with what is dipped into various dyes and 45 degree angles yielding the herringbone pattern a characteristic of right edges. the method works with a variety of materials. please. just keep walking and experiment and have on believe. just walking really really hard not giving up or is keeping curious and getting bored but we do so trying to

hello my name is paul and today i'll show you how to prepare a wonderful vegetarian cuisine sustainably. this dish isn't a marsh to the humble carrot. different this from the us all of the carers this is wonderful and that's one of the main principles of my cuisine we include the green bits and medicines and i can make a salad out of that or as i've done here we can dry and mix and powder them and i was to cope and so i slice the carrots themselves and braise the mental side extract the water so they're countries in this. group then we marinate the carrot slices in a little polish vinegar and give us one knot in you to islam then we cook up the carrots shavings a little and dried them because of his loss. and then we parade them and i said

fine and make a deal with flour and eggs and the carrot stock i mean i want them to fall and this final result with the carrot shavings is a grid in the shape of a honey card he. so what looks like honeycomb is actually made of character. in northern europe vegetarian cuisine can be a challenge especially in winter when mostly tubers or types of cabbages are the only fresh ones available but vegetables don't necessarily have to be flown in during winter the city farm has experimented with the rides of lettuce and cabbage the can survive even freezing temperatures and be as yes without the asian lettuce is a really the hardiest against frost they can thrive in the winter and survive temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees celsius even on open ground and another one that can stand frost is why. personally i. think it can withstand of least as much cold as

the asian lettuces. mean this is going also if you. pull it it likes to draw inspiration from the city farm is especially keen on flower sprouts a cross between brussels sprouts and kale. one of my favorite vegetables. we're going to try to use the stems and the trunk. the trunks very better. we tried to freeze it with the rest to loosen up the cell structure a little bit. and the pit inside has a very exciting taste but we're still experimenting. that at the restaurant if which starts preparing the fresh flower sprouts he braces some likely and deep tries others if it's saying to us and i think it's very interesting to play with the textures of vegetables and such cream by 2 different

cooking process that bring out different flavors and so we have a whole new wealth of nuances and more guns on the full 2nd life and that's what's so important to me personally when vegetable cuisine a certain size every piece. of barley mashed compliments the nutty flavor of the flower sprouts it's garnished with flowering cabbage leaves and a burger mart sauce. the concept at the restaurant is dispense with meat save energy while cooking use locally grown produce and avoid waste. and. this kind of sustainability can be tried at home too. in the shop. in fact self we very often have a bad conscience been sick of this work for if we should free ourselves about the little ones and from the pressure and remember the school that this is by thing you

think about it it's far better for every one of us to save 25 percent of them for one individual to save 100 percent on the port side. but it would be a shame if people only went to the town restaurant to ease their conscience above all it's a place for gourmets who are keen to experiment. ever since martin $85.00 the e.u. has awarded the title european capital of culture to 2 cities in europe each year this year it's ireland's turn along with craig that the choice fell on go away it's fitted with over $200.00 days a rain every year and average temperature of about 10 degrees celsius and this is how the city of go away presents itself on its festival website kind of home and yet every year go away attracts $1500000.00 tourists from all over the world we wanted to know what's so special about it.

irish pubs with live music and platters of freshly called seafood. and breathtaking scenery all reasons why go it was chosen as a european capital of culture university town arlen's west coast attracts young people from around the world. but it's just so different i mean no or no we're really in the states except for irish pubs i mean that's the only time we hear music like this everything is kind of medieval in stone it's a harbor in the sea for everybody so nice. beer is amazing as well. bendish it's cheerful lively and somehow feisty here different from germany definitely the people are more open and they laugh a lot yeah. a week before the city's year is your opinion capital of culture officially began county go away run get in with musicians and fire jugglers touring

7 of the surrounding towns with every day they came closer to go away. this is just the thing so we've got 195 events to go until next february we try any old cello festival starting environmental projects happening out in the mountains this explorations of the irish language to such. as creative director helen emerges in charge of the upcoming program of cultural events a challenge she willingly took on for go away. always really an incredible place it mazing people extraordinary bounce cape and ferocious weather it's a bit like vacillator in the rain. go away lies exposed to the full fury of the atlantic giving it an average $220.00 days of rain per year and heavy storms with the ocean and the rugged terrain also provide a bone to your treasures michelin star chef j.p. mcmillan braved the elements as he got those ingredients you. grass an over see

here. one of my favorites. is see lettuce and it's like you can see it on the rocks it's a green sea weed really beautiful eating fresh and we would dress our. oyster is a readily available and go away. almost every restaurant has them on their menu. j.p. mcmahon makes an especially tempting oyster dish. they always serve has been around for like thousands of years and i think it's probably only in recent years we've become to appreciate it more i think always people travelled to go away to taste the oyster the irish gaelic name for go away is dollars from stony river which is the river current that runs through its center. go it's been enjoying an economic boom since the 1990 s.

the old center with its palms vibrant art scene as well as gone ways to universities attract people the world over. to go always special shown for one spoke to schmidt he said he has lived here for 15 years. is among the big cities the nicest the malls. so this is attracts a lot of young people the university more than $15000.00 students and the total population is about $80000.00 so that gives you an idea. it's a city. driving youth. really. and this is precisely the feeling the long planned official opening for its years culture couple was supposed to put across but what there didn't permit the big party was canceled for safety reasons but the thing remains for a long ways parade. the celebrations just took place in the pubs the traditional
