fled dog races may still often be considered a male domain, but women when several of the top places in the 1st stages of this year's edition, it's generally dominated by men. and especially if they're in the big closet and top level, there is still more men, but there's more women coming. i just have to trust your team and the team they have to trust me and then it doesn't matter which gender you are really. critics often deem said dog races, 3 harmful to the animals health, but at le condo, the see a 12 person, visionary. she takes care of the dogs to staff, examine them before each new stage. and if there is the slightest health concern, the canines are not allowed to race for why yahoo! dancing to medically dawson, you know, i don't see any signs of animal cruelty in this discipline. that is for one simple

reason. what if you just look at the dogs, i get all excited and play around together. they run really fast at beginning and give it their all. they just want to run something or easy, get it here in the winter sport resort, piss evelyn, please. stage 6 is about to get started. the lucas group spends 30 kilometers who the starting and finish line in the same place, says lent her assistance, harnessing the excited dogs. ah, and of lego. there's no holding back. these dogs. log on to the sea is considered an extremely tough race covering a distance, an altitude of 12000 meters. the sword is also physically demanding for the mushers. they have to stick to the defined route and lay into the curves with the dogs.

when they go up hill, the marshes spur, the dogs on going downhill. they break it takes us about 2 hours to finish the stage coming in 6th, i very happy they are running good. i have a problem that they're going a little bit low enough pills, but they just need training. that's because i have a very young team, so they need to learn to push a little bit harder in the field. there we go. in very strong, downhill. i had to really work to keep those lads where it's supposed to be logged, then no problems, no nothing. so it's nice that a clean scene runs no problem after the race, the dogs a fit and enjoy a good dose of pacing. love moon and ended up coming in 4th of rule. but one things clear. she's determined to compete again next year.

for our next report, we stay in the mountains, but this time we're headed for neither in spain. that's where co bradley's blue cheese is made. i have to admit that blue cheese is one of those things that i've always find a bit strange. but after seeing how the famous cab rallies and variety is made and stored, i think it's time for me to give it another go. lou, this speciality comes from mr. use in northern spain, co brawley's blue cheese. it ages and caves and the pico stero commented spaniard and connie, but at aero, has been producing it for over 40 years and kept her cheese as my life. i've always known it my mother and grandmother both made it and i think my great grandmother to cheese is produced until they a village with less than 100 inhabitants located in the municipality of corporal.

this up to 3 types of milk are used from cose sheep and goats. that's what lends the cheese. it's intense, sometimes somewhat tart flavor. and she has the wheels are never the same. tomorrow's will be different than today's. we don't have a strictly defined routine been. the process is natural with an artist and touch. no one with the cheese makers heat the raw milk to $26.00 degrees celsius and let it sit for a few hours until it thickens. this process is called coagulation. then the resulting curds are put into cylindrical molds, and allowed to drip. and carnie produces 12 cheese wheels a day for making cupboard ls cheese takes daily hair from the very beginning to the point. it's ready to be sold. we 1st tend to it here in the cheese dairy queen, and then we have to take care of it in the cave. basically from morning to night,

i wrote it. after about 15 days in the drawing room, the cheese wheels are stored in the millennial old limestone keys located at an elevation of 700 to 1500 meters. the temperature there is $8.00 to $12.00 degrees celsius and the relative humidity is 90 percent. ideal conditions for cup rallies, cheese performance, characteristic mold. but with hamilton, we bring the cheese here to store it. you know how much like after a few days, we turn over the wheels and moisten them if necessary. it didn't file it. after 15 days, we turned them again and check if they need more moisture you mind and we keep going until they're ready for sale. it can take for 5 or even 6 months at a phase. oh cabral is cheese, can only be produced in this municipality and 3 neighboring ones. it enjoyed world wide fame and has won the prestigious world cheese award several times. i get that

ease is perfect, wanted blue on the inside. okay. carpet alice, please always has to be even light blue inside this and it has to have the very soft consistency so you can spread it and it has to taste good. that's the most important thing. there are about 20 mountainside caves and co brothers, and some are open to the public loop. in the ascii nod to he con, a traditional shop, the specialized and hand crafted group products from a studious for over 60 years. carruthers cheese is a real hit get leg, gabriella. so capital s, cheese stands apart from other blue cheeses. good through its intense, somewhat tight flavor. then so vocal because don, it's a very characteristic taste that is because i wanna move the cheese as easy to combine. austrians liked appear, it was pretty sweet taste,

like jam or cider. per kilo of cub rallies retails for between 25 and 40 euros. is mitzi cheese, i like a lot. i like strong, creamy cheese. we always eat it at home. oh no, it's good. covered i love cheese is an ancestral thing here in our story. yes. awesome. every family always has a piece of it in their fred show, but it can be used as an appetizer or as a desert. oh, but i bought it from the students point of view. car brothers cheese is a tradition that will last forever blue, yoko, i think so with more facilities, but yes, this tradition must go on. what would cover unless div without capital less cheese nikolai ah lit courts just arrived in the mail. a post card from your max reporter hendrick felling.

apparently there wasn't enough room on the card to write more than best wishes from and then the name of the small village that he was staying in. and no wonder, because that village and wales has the longest place name in europe. i'm not even going to try to pronounce that. i'll leave that to hendrick. he took a look around and asked to local what the name actually means for our series europe to the max. ah, welcome to fun lyra put quin gift co gary clinton dropoff fantasy leo cocoa go. really what a tongue twister. i am here in the town with the longest name in all of europe. 123, it's one word with thousands of letters and no spaces. 58 letters.

actually i'm convinced that this name is just the collection of characters randomly put together. but that's not true at all. there's a reason for this name and it even means something. and that's what i'm going to find out now. but will i learn to pronounce it correctly? well, we'll try, sam via per square gage. go care clairmont road frontage, and we'll go go, go. that's a totally different story. i'll stay right on the heels of alan murray. he used to be a counselor for this town, and he's lived here since he was a little boy. to get here, i've traveled to the western edge of britain to the isle of anger. see at the north western tip of ways. oh, that's too long. so we'll use the official

short version aside from a few sheep, only 3000 people live here. and since i mainly interested in the towns off the wall name alan murray takes me to this church. ah, that is the church of saint mary. the stats off with, with the church come via, that's where the name of each in is term means church and via mary. so it's ton of value. so this is the church of saint mary sun by it. bush quick gate called gara aquarium drop off to sylvia coco goss. what is the name actually mean? the church of saint mary's in the hollow of the white hazel's near to the rock. it whirlpool the church pops into silly, under red caves and all the paths together. it forms a complete picture of the village. most people here speak well sure. it's the

2nd official language here after english. a good place to practice a little would be where half the town gets together, the local top. and i thought that maybe a beer would help to lose the time. is that an option? so if you were not, yes, there's nothing for it to practice. i'm glad i'm going to pop one by it was bring your school, get it. but i'm good. oh and you have also like a gym with a name on it. right. how to how to spell when i be able to say yeah. but why the name is so long? his best answers by alan murray don't come in and he was contrived fire a taylor in 18. 69. wanted to attract visitors to come

in to the the latch off to one. go see and i think that said, you know, we're a 150 years or so. busy more on from his days and i think the, his benefits are still being read by the amount of people that have a city, the village. you know. so it was essentially a marketing ploy meant to draw attention to both the town and the language the people in here as far as the welsh people, i think they're very sort of a how can i say it? i think very proud nation i, we're proud of our heritage, we proud of our language and we want that language to carry on into a future generation. well, what can i say? small village and a very long name and very friendly and cheerful people over here. and oh, definitely did not forget this visit until and know how to pronounce his name

like these crafted by bosnian pencil artist here. thank who george of ich what city palm it must it be. and i will show volume school tools up those art forms. i like sculpture based on your law because it's 3 dimensional to all of that on. of course, creating one on a pencil lead. what is very complicated, the naval queen does, but it takes you to a higher level. and that's precisely what fascinates meal about this kind of art with the artist has already produced. more than $200.00 pencil sculptures, his motifs include the world's tallest building, do by butch khalifa tower, and an interpretation of edward monks. the scream. through his work, whole pencils become trains passing through tunnels. yagi shall be i'm a dealer craze. so normally i choose things that are right around us,

our morality. sometimes i also work on objects that come from pop culture article to it. but in most cases, i choose motifs from my immediate surroundings. with even us, i accrue. in his home city of to his law, he's already immortalized numerous tourist attractions. in graphite, like the statue of kings for a car, the 1st of bosnia, or the former gate of my dresser, dating from the 17th century and a public fountain built in moorish style. yes, anchor georgia, which has already found his next motif always the last year because what's behind us is a replica of the old salt well towers that we used to mine salt. you know, it was like, well, this is known for salt vines as a name to surf, derives from tools the turkish wood for sold the vouchers for georgia,

which miniature pencil sculptures have been attracting attention for a decade. now. he is presented his art at more than 30 exhibitions around the world, and recently at a gallery in paris, georgia which can now live from his art. the prices for his pencil sculptures start at $400.00 euros and depend on their complexity. he needs between 5 and 10 hours to ref, out the design, but it can take days to refine it for his miniature tower. he uses numerous scalpel blades as well as needles, log, alexia rosler, nicky mckee will deeper earthquake. it's much easier to work on. subjects like the human body. we can correct the shapes. so few things while you were working. he's privy to doc. good. whereas buildings have strictly straight lion, assuming that must be followed precisely the romilly iniquity,

similar to his custom of yes, thank or george of ej puts the finishing touches on right in front of his subject. here. it's the tower struts that make for the most intricate work. it requires has full concentration and dexterity to enjoy the graph i doesn't break before the artworks finished. lucky with theory totally was because unequal. so many of the sciences of tesla have already been captured in photographs and painting. douglas, i want to use my skill and this kind of i'll for you to still to present these motifs in a new way. i will respond to the other. they what the fuck out in the movie night. after several hours his work is completed. two's last salt, while tower has been cut down to size and fit on the tip of a pencil. ah,

no, i'm not trying to make contact with aliens. believe it or not, this is actually a musical instrument. not that you'd be able to tell by the way that i play it. the ferryman produces different science through a magnetic field, german musician, catalina icc, plays it on a professional level. in fact, she's considered one of the best ferryman players arrived. so i'll leave it out to her to explain how it works. oh. 2 0, man without touching it if he wasn't in these in the yeah, the next slow turn around hand, so i can play a note here speak or hear or hear or hear. oh, oh,

tara lena, i numbers among the world's best theorem in players. she's an echo classic award winner and performs regularly as a soloist the world over here in concert with the brussels philharmonic. she also plays electronic music. she wrote herself ah. 2 the chairman sets up an electro magnetic field that can be influenced by the human body. that in turn changes the sound. deb, this upright antenna, determines the pitch. to me when i move towards the antenna, the pitch rises. right? and in this loop, continue on the in the sunlight control volume. so if i move further away,

the sound gets louder. lou lou rush. this is this is leanne. merriman unveiled the instrument in 1920 some of the musicians and bands who have experimented with it since are the beach boys led zepplin. tom waits, and john michelle jar. the movie going public is familiar with the sound of this for bare of the synthesizer from horror and science fiction films. it's still used occasionally on soundtracks even now because this tradition came about because when the theorem was 1st developed, musicians played with lots of vibrato, even on the violin and other instruments. ah, the man as if you apply that to the fair amenities exams of its beauty,

carolina, i got her very 1st ferryman. at age 7. she learned to play from among others. the inventors own grand nice. i age 16, she had developed a new technique that's now in general use world wide. it allows the musician to play with far greater precision. the instrument reacts to every slightest movement, lou. then if i so much is freedom that changes the found it a tough, i don't. so to play very precise now, who has been, i have to say completely cell aladdin. but if i play notes more freely in an experimental performance, for instance, hormone i can move my entire body monitor being rude. ah, the ferryman was one of the 1st electronic instruments. now,

100 years after it was invented, it still sounds futuristic. who's and that brings us to the end of today's show. but just before we go, a quick reminder to check out our viewers draw on our website. and as always, don't forget to follow us on social media. and with that for me and the entire euro, max team here in berlin, thanks for watching and see you again soon. a
