mohammed is on hand via a piece like german pain to lay on live in trout and star german violinist. david garrett feel safe here. germany's best known body guard is assigned to provide security for an exhibition, opening, illiterate, but via the good of on that with an event like this, you have to consider the possibility of something happening because alcohol is present what people want. autographs, people want photos and then they're not under control and start pushing one another would often then a glass might draw from somewhere above. we're in a gallery here, your mom or somebody might want to get down fast. something's always happening like glasses involved. not only is often with mohammed a body guard, he's also a fashion designer. but before getting to that, let's look back at his illustrious career, asp. net mohammed has made his living as a body guard for some 30 years now, watching over the who's who of hollywood,

including stars like bruce willis and angel initially says result, money, good. i regard my clients as family members. everyone i take on, i enjoy protecting a very much impact. i was very emotionally connected to mohammed ali answered because the whole world honors the man who has it. and you could see that when i was taking care of him, men, how many people would have willingly given their heart to this person? yeah, but the road to success was a rocky, one off met, mohammed came from lebanon. his father died in the civil war. and she himself was hit by fragmentation, grenade high in 1976. his mother fled with him and 9 brothers and sisters to west berlin. i've met mohammed dropped out of school to devote himself to martial arts, which he'd been practicing since childhood. austin, not the 1st thing foreigners due to integrate when they're in a foreign country is pursue sports, whether it's soccer or karate, or taekwondo of the can side. already watched so many bruce lee movies and he'd

inspired me. i started with hi quando, but he at lavish meant to condo anger from an app that mohammed starts his day at 6 am exercising for around 2 hours. and in the evening, he puts in another session in the fitness studio. for hours of sports are part of his daily routine. a body guard has to be in top physical shape. now with a well tone, security man has founded his own sportswear brand. the label is called legends after the many living legends he's protected as body guard. he offers the collection online for ladies as well as one for the gent, often modeling them himself and giving testimonials for the camera. if you did mention car, many people where cycling shorts and many like to wear a top with a bare midriff. all right, that's completely normal, but i feel dimensional. and on the red carpet, many like to wear light apparel on zillow, hobbies missed. so i took inspiration from that to make a sports label. get some muffin. now. 58 ac miss. mohammed's preferred working

clothes, or seats of his own design with a matching vest. that standard body guard outfits normally black or not quite to his taste. is what you need to come up there and i didn't want to wear a tie go. i didn't want those blazers that are really tighter. good those. but i wanted to look good and still have the freedom of movement when a vest dress shirt and a suit vista were the best you can put on a turtle neck or a t shirt. and you'll always look good because the best is what makes the outfit was o hm. it flies all over the world for his clients. luxury hotels have become almost a 2nd home to him. as a boy, he never dreamt he would lead such a life of privilege one day. as most i unfolded, i'd like to set an example for young people wished i'd like to set an example for people who don't know how they can get ahead and no longer believe in the society. ah, i was one of those boys. while i was on the street myself and i was bull zelma, moulton,

i was aggressive and didn't know what to do with myself. his elbow means to have his job, and sports job were taught me to take on responsibility. fun for don't to been amen . from an impoverished refugee to a successful body guard and fashion designer who is committed to helping youth. and in the meantime is a celebrity in his own right. after mohammed shows what can happen when he don't give up on your dreams. for a simple and delicious appetizer, you really don't need much more than some fresh bread and a tasty olive oil. while back in ancient times, it was considered a luxury item, a kind of liquid gold to day. of course, you can buy a bottle of olive oil for just a few years at the grocery store, but like a fine wine, the quality of the olive oil depends on the variety of olives and where it's grown . spain is by far the largest producer of olive oil, so we headed there to find out how to best identify the best kind

ah, can i get them for somebody? it has to have personality has to touch, you know, that's what i value most about. a good extra virgin olive oil with emotional bold, what it'll give you in our village here. we live from olives. they ship our attitude towards life and lifestyle. ah, i would say that all well is not just the oil. it's not just a fact, it's juice, it's the fresh use of it all up with . i think i think one that on our farm is in the sabbatical region for the areas, soil has high line content, making farming very difficult in many ways because it's not very fertile. but it's

good for olive oils quality. you know, because the soil gives the trees and olives a host of benefits to them up to them for the my podium, ah, spain is the main driver. we are the largest producer in the entire world. i think you have to keep in mind that spain, spain alone has 260 cult of ours of allan with callaway. i get the name of the people they think these are the 3 varieties of all of it. we make extra virgin olive oil from that they have to be qual buddha because you know, and all he blanca math and some of them are a bit spicier. he blanca is a bit stronger than p quality to my while the crude oil is more aromatic at 1st. it be cool though. if adam article ah,

we put them on to look at them and we constantly monitor our olive groves to determine the ideal time to harvest the olive skin with in what to work. a thing until the timing is so important because the olives need to be as mature as possible at, in, in the fair mode if we harvest early, sort of because that way and the oils we produce are much more aromatic and flavorful, which on my settlement because than that, i'm mucho my fellow and i bought the vehicle. if you look it cramped, a good olive oil. you have to make sure the olive is healthy and suppers as little damage as possible if it was his onion, long enough, bushy. liquid m. case of profess,

we insure that no more than 2 hours passed between harvesting the olives and delivering them to the factory. they will sort a like you get to the factory, open the door and george enveloped in the fragrance of oil being but a man. it's the best, it's how the very best part. it's always in the air for yourself, the map. okay. we stand out from the others because we really emphasize harvesting olives at the ideal moment. all nothing to show with an addition. we are very careful about selecting the olives and when we follow up very meticulous and detailed production schedules. nothing for them.

ah, and when you 1st opened the bottle a poor little bit in, in a cup, for example, warm it up and take a smell of the olive oil, you're going to notice freshness. it should smell fresh. keep in mind that olive oil should be a little bit better. this is the healthy part. if it starts to make you copy. this is a good thing. and last but not least, we delve into the fine art of embroidery. it's extremely time consuming, but many artists want to keep the special needlework alive and you, ming lou is one of them. she actually draws her inspiration from food and creates 3 d embroidery. is that look so real that joe wanted take a bite out of them? oh, anguish breakfast with bacon eggs and beans. poor. how about some

popcorn or broccoli? tasty though they look. these food stuffs are best not eat. british artist, you mang lu, created them with a needle and thread. think of a food has their own character. for example, like him, my baby brocly i made, i want to let people feel relaxing and it fell really peaceful. and for example, like my fide ag, it's really energized say, can warn, so i wanna transfer all of their feelings to my audience is. so the idea of food inspired embroidery came to her over breakfast and 2020, and the series embroidered edibles was born. she posts the finished works on instagram. her goal is to create $301.00 pieces and total. it's actually really good kiva, a 301 a is a computer language is a,

it's like something like great direction. so at that time as a new direction, you mang lou, who's originally from the chinese region you not studied at the london school of bashing to day. she lives in bristol, england. she takes her inspiration from the culture and landscapes of both countries. i went to dolly, it's a by minority re jane china. so i went to a par, can i met the locos, who was doing the amazing punch nato embroidery just straight away, i being attracted by their work and fraud by this handiwork. you mang lube began to teach herself the punched needle technique. unlike normal embroidery, it involves working with loops. i just developed and i wait and then sit into my owen like techniques basically push lengthwise into the base for break. and

now i will get a lot of loose in the flood, and then i just a tray man as copay to that of fine know look that what i, what the artist is fascinated by the burst textures and by the unique nature of a variety of fruit and vegetables in particular, they have, oh, different like touch you texture. so someone really smooth osama has this kind of relief bomb, different like it. so face, i feel like they, they want me to use my need us to tell that do to tell the different stories about them depending on the size and the effort required. the artist can work up to several months on an object. she uses silk or cotton thread for all her projects. smaller works have about 10000 loops, while larger ones have more than 100000. i designed it my own best po, punch ito. because to the,

the mog here was really big and it is like this wise, really delicate, so you can quit and more in details occasionally you mang lou also accepts commissions and she can imagine working with passion houses and other companies in the future. but her heart belongs to this main project. now i'm thinking that these poach as more like a lives high project. so i will keep making mole odds, which i keep all of them. cuz i really hope that one day i can exhibit them all of them into in the gallery, optical illusions which wet the appetite for more, in this context, playing with your food is quite all right. looks so real and makes me hungry. and with that, it is time to say good bye, but
