What will we be eating this year the latest food transport two thousand and nineteen pounds how a British Photo artist takes the old masters into the digital age. Figures smoove through the darkness carrying strange head gear what looks like something from a fairy tale is actually an all the austrian tradition groups of militarist go from house to house making loud noises to scare away evils there are a new series quirky customs your next reporters join in some strange but wonderful european traditions to find out what theyre all about for today as for part the march turned out to be quite a challenge for our very own max merrill. You wont find this in any store not carrying around this giant contraption just for fun im training for the glow of march in a small town in austria sights come a good region. A tradition in which ringing bells and illuminated colorful caps are meant to scare away the evil winter spirits. Im in snowy austria in this Winter Wonderland here where they have a wonderful and weird tradition of the glow where they chase away ghosts with these magnificent hats i want to take part they all told me i wouldnt manage but i couldnt even make it for ten meters lets find out more. Similar events are held all over the region but the most famous and spectacular occurs here. With the rent boys and theyre quite traditional so i wonder if theyd let me join in. Several songs. There was. Very little the group has been around since nine hundred two but the weather has rarely been this bad. Mission if its been snowing heavily and will continue so it wont be easy to walk with them this time. Thank you so much. Its result in particular will have a problem too much rain falls on the caps then they could get sagal right there varnished but well have to see. The sleet could ruin hundreds of hours of manual labor the head of the out that group. Shows just how the caps are made at his workshop. The finish taps a stored here waiting to be used this evening. This is. The time to take a look at the inside which contains a wooden frame band real candles. So theres no danger that will catch fire its not very likely has it ever happened on occasion the motifs are reminiscent of Church Windows black cardboard forms the frame for cutouts with colorful transparent paper all this to scare away evil when two spirits. Believe in ghosts or believe in ghosts otherwise they wouldnt take part is going to. Be out scorched at scroope let me do a little test run before tonights big event. The camera catches the wind like a sail. Ive got a companion ballot to help me through the winter weather. Even the home or familys youngest son has his own capital ready. My cap weighs around ten kilograms but some are heavier up to twenty kilos. Back to theyre going to back a group. Time to get dressed in white overalls like the others. So far im only allowed to help others put their caps on. The candles are lit at the starting point. The tension is palpable. And im getting my hopes up. I get to try on the belle belt but a camp is still not coming my way only locals are allowed to take part. Once the candles are lit the men sing their traditional song to get into the spirit for the much. Back in the day only single men were allowed to participate but the rules are not a strict anymore. The march starts with a bang they set off making an almighty racket and ending to pass as many homes and fields as possible on their way thats meant to bring the people good fortune and guarantee a rich harvest the members of the hint about a group make their way to the town center like all other groups from a. B. C. Around three hundred men take part in total. And finally i get my chance it might have something to do with the fact that the rain and snow have already caused irreparable damage to the caps theres not much left for me to ruin. I know. You dont think this is all you know. Its the last stage of the night for the good looks and its a real honor but im actually allowed to walk with them but i quickly realise it was a big mistake not to wearing gloves after just a few minutes my fingers a so numb that i can barely hold on but giving up is not an option after all the others have been doing this for hours. A well deserved mulled wine it was a heavy load to carry and a heavy load to bear finally ive got to take power. In the clock went off and now its time to say cheers to the boys. The group share one last song and who knows maybe they have scared away all the ghosts and this years harvest has been saved. All. Well done max.

Bags made from but and. Actually from banana tex a fabric produced using fibers of a banana plant. The fibers are derived from the fruit itself or from the stocks banana texas was developed by the question background. They have already been awarded a design prize for their work by a swiss magazine. Question is based here in Zurich Switzerland in recent years its founders who include christian. And hunnish have experimented with a variety of Sustainable Materials. On phone. We started off with cotton and spent a couple of years developing an organic cotton fabric. At the same time we experimented with linen hemp and bamboo and in the process we stumbled upon banana fiber so for a way we were impressed by its attention. Also known as manilla hemp is native to the philippines and has been used to make items such as rope and fishing nets since the Nineteenth Century the plant grows wild in the jungle not on plantations it doesnt require any irrigation fertilizer or pesticides the fibers are dried nearby or later turned into paper. When you twine the banana fibers right away and turn them into yon and then weave them it produces a really irregular cloth but through this intermediary step this paper we can even it out. At a specialist weaving mill in taiwan the paper is turned into fabric the paper is cut into thin strips that are twined into yarn and then. The resulting fabric makes its way to neighboring china where the bags are manufactured in working conditions which meet new standards. The barracks design also plays a decisive role the details are well thought out the style is casual and functional. The collection is being sold in some two hundred Stores Worldwide a bag made from banana fiber costs around two hundred twenty euros model range is limited at present but more designs are in the works. Given how during the course of its developments we also discovered that lots of companies were interested in trying it out. We were a bit surprised by the demand and by the fact that need for Sustainable Materials is so great across many industries.
