you may now not spend a lot that much time because you know, it's like an a busy, busy woman. well, it is sometimes lizzie days like old. you know, this kind of like just a small, small, small baby. ah, it's not easy being a star. sarah has just completed music school but carries on with singing and piano lessons. challenges of venus thinker and i would say, oh, i think you know, yeah, wake up really early, sometimes a going back from work really, really, really of at a night actually. um, kind of loneliness sometimes because you don't see bench id like to see like of my friends da much, you know, sometimes it just like you, you just tired of usually just being exhausted. yeah. and she's

off to the next appearance sarah james will be performing alongside to benz at austin o lebowski summer concert. she's the star of the show. her mother attends every concert. i know is a little bit stress her but so we are happy that says she is the starting man, and this is so old to fast the up. know, going fast, really, her career and all the think so to reach a larger audience, sarah, often things in english. her latest single is titled my wave and she's already signed with a major record label. ah, my dreams for my future, i would say just be in the stage to sue gift people, my whole heart with music, you know, and just show people mine just me and oh,

just me and my music. and i hope they people love it. you know? ah, and she'll keep on living those dreams that her next performance is in the u. s. where she hopes to win, the hearts of the audience is injury in the live shows of america's got howard. and in september, maybe even the big pro. ah. then of course we wish for all of luck. next up we had to austria, to me, an artist who creates illusions in glass. in his latest works, thomas medicos, employes a special technique. as soon as you move the artwork or you yourself move the image completely changes like magic, or we got a sneak peak into the intricate process which goes into these optical anomalies. ah,

works of us in glass. every side reveals a different subject. the ashes calls these installations, animal fif cubes. my name is time thomas matey course. i'm an artist and i mostly work with glass in mid to class. the animals move at the ceiling that he can most of the animal for cubes consist of a 144 strips. fixed for images are scattered across these strips and fragments of flood wound. so if you walk around the cube or turn it new images come together every 90 degrees on to cut unless we need to summon thomas medical has sold his cubes as far afield as the us and canada. glass has fascinated the artist ever since he learned how to work with it. at a glance looking technical school, confirmed glassing,

it's harder to work with glass intuitively then for instance, with clay or a canvas m. like at the same time, it's a material that is very closely bound to the refraction of light up and it displays many ambiguities. it has something ethereal about it because it's so transparent, so constant is but in alum, often wilford gets the animal for cubes contained for images and miss and the 2 opposite each other have to fill out precisely the same area offshore. so when you view one of them, a covers up the one behind it each really cut it's the difficulty is to develop images that depict different things, but still cover the same area. also, you have to make certain compromises and game of the system. so the 2 image is always share certain aspects slightly, but sometimes they lead you up a blind alley that's will suck, then i realize it's not going to work and i have to try something else. again, this is nice volume miss. medica has got very different works on display in his

hometown, innsbruck, austria, for example, this installation titled kona, kona eyes anchor albert cohen. i started out in a very small format in duncan, this old and one day i drove past the entrance to a parking garage and it occurred to me that it could serve as a kind of massive display case. next up is on these cryptogenic sculpture in itself . is a work that looks back at you, shulty and you look at it and it looks back. i say that in general, art doesn't come into being until a viewer gaze is added untrodden and teeth. mm. another recent project is this installation in a distribution hydroelectric plant. the reflections make the old turbine hole and the viewers themselves a part of the outlook the insulator on the dieting. and the installation hanging mer attempts to redefine the space from an

industrial one to an artistic one, in the slee, long and uncombed solution. because it's now listed as a historic side. and the turbines are very dominant. it was important to take up the theme of the space itself, the steam at his homes of took hyphen in late summer or early autumn, the artist hopes to unveil his newest glass cube in ins. brooke, in the mean time, he's got a lot of fragments to cut out and paint. what's that to me than this quantity? i'm? what's fascinating about painting glass is that it's a very old technique dating back to the middle ages entrepreneur and i think it's exciting to integrate a very old craft into something new and make use of this old technique that you tried and tested for something contemporary taken us issues to prevent, ah, thomas medical says animal fit glasses plays with perspectives and perceptions.

ultimately the us is in the eye of the beholder. when it comes to describing certain characteristics about germans, many people might say that they drive very fast are never late and have no sense of humor. now these of course are cliches, but one thing you might not know is that many germans mean serious business when it comes to walking or hiking. having all of the right accessories is very important. now d w reporter rachel stuart, take a look at how germans hit the trails compared to everyone else. have you ever been now? you're on holiday and you decide to go for a hike, but didn't really prepare for it. and of course, who do you come across on the trial? a german? ah, wow. serious shoes?

check out that practical base rock the classic leather jacket. what's that special trial nicholas at the knee? oh boy. please don't. they on the walk in. ah. the germans loved to walk, of course, was walking and walking his own talks about thea gang. on sunday stroll has long been an established feature in the lives of many german families. but a step up from this is vanessa or hiking. the difference isn't necessarily about gradient or strenuous nurse is that been done? involve planning a root, a schedule and equipment. hiking is the most popular outdoor activity in germany, whether it's a longer journey with stuff. i was in hiking huts or quit nature but the weekend, young and old in any season. they just love it. smart feature makes you happy. hiking warms the hot one i get has been

a lot of time endorse. so it's great to be able to nature word as it really helps to relax and it keeps you fit in. germany just has the right climate for hiking. i get my best idea hiking because it had so much tradition. germany is a hiking nation. mon canada, you can relax and get away from daily life. you might meet other nice people. it's great all around. would say that the germans been raving the hill since time immemorial. not quite 2nd day. hiking with religious pilgrim tradesman scholars and vagabonds in the german mountains, and far as was seen as uninviting, dangerous. it was until the 1800s that german nature got itself some good publicity, courtesy of the romantic poets and painters joined forces to pick up the great outdoors people started to realize they could walk for pleasure. the arrival of the railway meant that even 52 at us had easy access to the countryside. and then the germans depart, the germans do best. they got organized. they formed hiking association marked out

paths and even set up the 1st ever youth hostels. oh, sadly, even the wholesome deceit of hiking couldn't escape the shadow of national socialism. the nazi so hiking as an elitist selfish hobby. and they funneled youth hiking members into the hitler youth. but in the past 4 years, every new connection to nature became part of the healing process. the manager evans today hiking is more popular than ever, and it's big business, the gym and spend billions of yours every year on hiking trips, i'm fancy equipment that certainly plenty to keep them occupied in gemini from 300000 kilometers, assigned posted hiking routes along forest trails alpine tracks wine, valleys and cuz with the gym and the no longer just hiking home, what in full will indulge that hiking habit while holidaying abroad as well wherever they are. does another vital element to a gym and hike. it's so important. it's got its own verb. i'd kill them all stopping off for refreshment along the way. maybe isn't it sold some cake or just

a cold been to give you energy for the law? well the german word vonda, last or wonder lust has also made it into the english language. now, what do you most associate with german culture? go to our website and let us know. now we're raffling off a sweatshirt and a bag. but you can get this sweatshirt from d w's and centered collection, which gives tips on how to access band media. now, when i was growing up in the united states, we often ate tortillas, or flat red from corn wrapped around beef or chicken. so you can imagine my confusion when i went to spain and ordered a tortilla and got a potato. omelet instead. now what i discovered was that spanish tortillas, or a beloved favorite, eaten morning, noon and night. the tortilla can be considered

a national dish in spain. in barcelona, near the secret of amelia, one little restaurant boasts over 25 kinds of tortilla. and isabel color tell you has been preparing this culinary classic for 40 years now. but i mean as a lady, mental it's a dish. my grandma would always make up e cleanser you when i was little. if you'd ask me, what's your favorite food master? i'd always answer grandma's tortilla of him, so it means a lot to me. if so, if he got was mucho ala hello, my name's isabel keller to you, and i'm the owner of the restaurant law. say about your voice. i'm going to show you how to make a spanish tortilla on your lap. the spanish tortilla is actually a pretty simple dish and has few ingredients. but i want to make

a t o t a. you need 3 eggs, maybe a half an onion, and 2 potatoes. not but that though, isabel color tell you shops for fresh ingredients every morning. that dorothy evian event that he is with 1st invented in spain, in the 18th century as a cheap and hearty meal. what's going on element of the foot, alvarado? there was already the french, almost alt will tear as we call it. of the native, just beaten, baked and rolled up eggs at diesel e and oriental. set our own eggs, specialty a pot. we added potatoes level, ocoee, se, and if we're lucky, barnett lyla, but the disadvantage tortilla them out of the espanol. it all starts with the potatoes and her potato of choice is the mona lisa variety is probably the info to the great for spanish tortillas, the way we make them up. if they're not starchy, they are very waxy. that make that imperfect to peel, coffee and fry ballade. i've got a bad afraid if bobby,

in an i used the same normal onions, i generally cook with another coffee. not it figured it was my grandmother's secret, was to cut the potatoes, very thin. white said that they get old crunchy, and to moisten them with the beaten egg diesel. the most important rule is to pre cook all the ingredients of a tortilla. except the eggs. up a 1000 love, will you come to put the rule potato? yes, this al hayat would ruin everything to this committee because then you'd have to roll potatoes in your finished tortilla for you law. you always have to deep fry them before mixing them with the eggs filter. it takes just 2 minutes and they're done. this is for yes, but then i use some paper to so cut the oil, hit that a little boy. so now the potatoes, the done mother, the, there's a moment, the other m was law, but that they, it so, and it's time for the onions e outta how much of it that they've all. yup. and just like with the potatoes,

the thinner you slice the onions, the better the tortilla effect, all you cook them in their own juice. we add a bit of oil. have you got they did the venue, let them simmer slowly on. a very low hate will lead from it up. it takes quite a while, but the result is great at the end. but okay, that movie and the restaurants name lefebvre means onion in catalonia, and here they simmer their onions for 3 to 4 hours to give them the right roasting flavor. and now it's time for the eggs. pilot some salt, poke up. the next task is to beat the eggs and add the deep fried potatoes in stewed onions. then she carefully mix as it altogether. an she shares a little secret with us out i. now the trick is to let everything set for 10 to 15 minutes of continual,

tough gothic it up helps the potatoes absorbed the egg flavor level. the potatoes, talk to the eggs when it will in a coated pan covered with oil, she fries the tortilla mixture. and once the bottom is solid, she flips the tortilla over. you could okay, lot of fun. we spaniards couldn't live without potato to t is the other, but that we all ate the most children in your home with call me when i'm, when you've had to miss the kid, you crave them the rest of your life, your. but at stackable stanza, i don't know anyone who doesn't like to t as it was from out of debt, but that's not normally. everyone wants some, not talked about that. the op at this and the dish never gets boring. you can always spice up the standard tortilla recipe with new ingredients, collect spinach, or go cheese. and it's delicious any time of day

that does look delicious. ok, dogs and cats tend to be the motif of choice for many photographers. so it may be surprising to see 2 italian photographers choose chickens as their primary subjects . what they believe these feathery creatures are highly underestimated as pets and as models. so they've created a book to get people talking rather than squawking about chickens. with proud and self assured, and with elegant feathers, these words describe the ornamental chickens displayed in coffee table books by photographers my tail trying celine, and marino monte. from milan, they both openly admit their fascinated with chickens, and have even acquired a few of their own. their pets could just as easily struck the cat walk. i've got that before. we can run them, all right, and it was

a love at 1st sight. i never would have expected in the any mighty hearing on 40 chickens make very good motifs for their very photogenic origin and great models similar that they know right away what they're supposed to do. because of that, you don't have to explain it to them with the name, vocal rhetorical. they need hardly any makeup diver from our experience in the advertising and fashion industries. chickens are the best top models and the most natural that we should. i am all of that and they also seem to be the most patient . they obediently follow whatever directions to photographers give them. for their latest project, mateo, toronto, lini, and merino monte post 2 chickens. teach from one of a total 60 breeds as lovers chicken and love is the snappy though somewhat tongue in cheek title. the aspect okesha that i thought to leave you a loss, but we were primarily interested in the aesthetic aspect. the ok boys will chase so they love that explains the beauty and success of the book. lability project too.

so you just don't expect chickens to look so grants fit up a ballistic with any minute. like kevin, the proud rooster and mateo trench alaneese garden in milan. he and his hens, shanelle, and samantha, our house chickens of the cochin breed. queen victoria introduced these unusually large chickens from asia to europe in the 19th century. for chicken in love, the photographers brought roosters and hens of different races together as couples . a dutch crested with a bantam, wyandotte, a silky, with an or being 10. concordia means a visual because he found out a lot of we went searching for what chickens look best together edge, but not like a breeder. would ya think? we mixed the breeds and sexes to get a colorful variety like we have in our human society. you money thein guacamole. and what about to roosters?

why not and oh, the rooster may protect his hens, but he doesn't have that great reputation. as a romantic lover, guy loom guy, the rooster is the worst example and absolutely not a role model. when it comes to romance, yellow fine, doesn't do anything when he doesn't produce anything the way and he dominates hundreds of hens we. that's definitely not politically correct. i regard, but it works after a lot of my food seal and ha, ha, ah, right, no phaser. now is offended holly, we've hurt his feelings about it. it's no real tragedy. everything always revolves around him. the rooster. but now my tail trying celine and marino monte have proven that hens too, can hold their own in the spotlight. but have they solve the puzzle of why the chicken crossed the road?

we'll see next time. okay. and that was all for today over good to go to our website, to take part in our viewer, draw and follow us on social media. as always, thanks for watching. and we will see you again because with
