maritime work song has the scotsman spot at the top of europe's pop charts. it's amazing it's like a dream come true. i'm just we hope. that's because until recently nathan evans was a postman in the town of airdrie glasgow in his free time he'd uploaded videos of himself performing pop or folk songs to tick talk at his followers request he started covering sea shanties like we've heard johnny. pining. the. late last year evans landed a surprise hit when his version of the new zealand wailing song soon made the wellman come went viral i thought oh i. have a good. move on to the next song.

together. her current series fish and flowers is no exception because sorrow is inspired by fairy tales and surrealism fish are recurring symbols in her work but ones that are meant to cause people to stop and reflect people. of. this dress with and always thought beautiful combined with flowers and. white paper it's actually a very beautiful but and it's kind of ok but because the show is not the life and words of the head and. it's kind of. manifest in. a while and you will because sorrow is on her way to nikolai gogol house a museum in the russian capital she was invited to take part in a group exhibition here entitled the islands each participant was given a room and free reign to show off their creativity. the new yorker star of his installation features paper flowers printed with

only swiss chocolate is a kind of milk chocolate and we produce a dark milk chocolate which contains 56 percent cocoa now. it's been the last time laura shopped. i'm a co-founder of the low flow of chocolate factory people and we produce chocolate by hand they're. happening in the main ingredients for chocolate include 1st of all sugar so quick for them then we add cocoa butter which is the fat crust from the cocoa bean from the board that done some next is the milk powder so if we're making a milk chocolate it's just as mean she could. be cocoa beans are the most important ingredient for making good swiss chocolate. go regionally from south america and then i came to central america and eventually to africa. my name is christian values i'm originally from colombia where i run a cocoa plantations i chose cocoa because i've always wanted to do something that connects my 2 countries of origin switzerland and colombia in the. nature of the tree grows up to 5 metres tall grow on the trunk and branches like normal for it still. take the cocoa cut it open and you find a being as you saw at the fruit. you place these fruits in wooden boxes and cover them with banana leaves and i mean this introduces eastend bacteria which initiate fermentation then 48 hours later you turn them over this process takes $5.00 to $6.00 days in all and you have to keep turning the fruit to different intervals and depending on when you turn them you can bring out certain flavors. to as the 1st thing we do know that the months to remove the skins. when you window then you peel the skins off and you end up with. pieces of the beans and this is where recipe starts. out on these baking sheet and then we roast them in the other and each recipe requires a different kind of roast and. the.

sure that this one has to granite stones and they in the kettle turn it on it which causes friction if you wish and now appear in the cocoa knaves nice and slow tonight. but this time for the sugar. free comes along i mean my poor that and gradually as well if i'm too near when it's created a paste i can add in the melted cocoa butter cow both of these fish modes. they're made on the grinder works as a conscious at the same time you see an impasse does to show consciousness means stirring the cocoa paste to mix air and to improve on this which reduces the acidity me tell you know that's what gives our chocolate this very fine sweet taste of it using bombs in. the middle of the shaking table gets out of all the air bubbles still trapped on the chocolate we don't want to be bubbles in

wheels especially when you pick up speed so you can imagine how hard it might be when and navigating on only one wheel now the producers of the show went to a lot of trouble to bring in a unicycle into the studio and this is where i could probably demonstrate for you but instead of breaking my neck i will leave it up to a young german woman who is breaking records on her unicycle. they are going to make up to 40 kilometers an hour. coming up the combination of speed balance and the high risk is what fascinates me the most. just day riding high in the saddle. can keep so concentration. on the road any little could present an obstacle. i do have a handlebar but it's mostly so i can lean into the wind and not for support bicycles you can hold on to the handlebars the unicycle doesn't have anything to stabilize you say you have to find your center and learn to build speed and confidence without using your hands. it takes years of practice to learn to ride with this kind of speed and skill even as a little girl. felt magically drawn to the unicycle and began taking part in competitions. balancing hasn't always been well appreciated on the contrary. as a kid i got in trouble for tipping my chair up on one leg a nursery school and rocking back and forth while. they told my parents they suspected i had a movement disorder. my father was sure that wasn't true and he got me into sports that was the best decision he could have made and i'm very grateful to him for it. now what aged 20 she's collected medals and prizes the world at the 2018 world unicycling championships in south korea she churns out 5 titles in various disciplines. finally in 2020 the world record for the longest distance covered in one. with over 33 kilometers on her unicycle she even beat the men's record. in fear in many of the physically demanding sports that's just unthinkable that was another huge step forward and that's really special to me. back then was born in the french border region prize book now she lives in berlin and hopes to study lol she set up a little workshop in her room in the apartment she says she earns 15 unicycles for various purposes one even has studded tires for off roading. as often as she can she takes off to go driving cross-country another discipline that yana 10 a bag and holds the world champion title pool. and the only one she's ever injured herself doing. has been on martin back of a mountain biker hit my unicycle from behind in a mud hole and my leg got caught in between his crank and my shin bone. i finished the race and won but afterwards i had to go to the medic. was pretty swollen up but that's the worst that's happened to me outdoors so far. in comparison the ride home through both means rush hour traffic is like a walk in the park a unicycle in town may be an unusual sight but it's quite legal and it helps keep the bag in in shape for the challenges yet to come and read my one hour world record leave some room for improvement i'd say there's also a 24 hour world record in a cycle riding i'd like to go for that one too you can sit on the cycle for a long time you just need to practice. decide she's practiced enough for one day intrigue to a gentle stroll into the sunset. in this digital age we would expect that most anna mae. are done on the computer but some artist prefer methods that stand the test of time such as stop motion animation this technique of filming characters in movement has been around for a couple of decades and it is a popular way of entertaining the masses well i caught up with one stop motion director in paris who showed me more. this is american actor leonardo dicaprio in a way you've never seen him before in stop motion animation action. this is the work of french director victor who makes animation films and adds in his paris studio. i really like stop motion animation because it's something very tangible you can you can touch it you really feel what you are doing i mean with your hands. and those so i cannot draw and i cannot choose. we do wanted to make stop motion and i think this is the best way to make it a mission. bigger has been creating stop motion animation for 13 years he taught himself how to do it after studying film in the czech capital prague that missionary mission is a very long process you put the puppets in the position you make. movements you take a picture you make it as a movement you take a picture and so try to redo original movie you have in. this 5 2nd clip took 2 hours to make. his animations cover a wide range of schemes including this film featuring a 3 d. superhero. other clips are simple loops made for fun for instagram. this animation highlights actor tom cruise's stunts from his movie mission impossible. and victor's bare often makes other popular appearances on social media. but it isn't just for fun the artist or . and his money with animated ads for big international companies. 3 years ago i decided to. put all my work on instagram and to publish. a new mated loops every weeks. it meets a lot of success it was very unexpected but now i have more than 300000 followers. and i get a lot of commission directly via instagram. picture tries to find a sense of humor in his every day surroundings this is where he gathers ideas the challenge lies in bringing the ideas back to the studio and turning them into mini works of art the finished product isn't always what he expects when it's done i'm very happy to look at it frame by frame because while i was in the mating i was focused on what i was doing so sometimes i didn't notice i did so move was a move. after this time i keep surprising myself. and victor continues to surprise his fans as well with his unique and unusual classic form of animated photography. and with that we come to the end of the show but don't forget to log on to our website for this week's draw as always from me and the rest of the crew here in berlin thanks for tuning in.
