Gourd guy
Briton Peter Glazebrook should be the undisputed heavyweight champion in vegetable gardening. The Nottinghamshire, England resident holds the Guinness World Record titles for the heaviest potato at 4.98 kilograms, the heaviest cauliflower at 27.48 kg, and the heaviest aubergine at 3.362 kg. The 79-year-old has been participating in a local contest for giant vegetables, the Canna UK National Giant Vegetables Championship, at the Malvern Autumn Show. He holds more than 17 records in the contest, The Independent reported. In the 23 to 25 September contest, Glazebrook won in five categories. He produced the longest cucumber at 1.069 meters, the heaviest aubergine at 2.77 kg, the heaviest onion at 7.3 kg, the heaviest cantaloupe melon at 11.43 kg, the three heaviest onions at 20.4 kg, and the heaviest pepper at 0.75 kg. Glazebrook has many clones. Some vegetable growers beat him in other categories of the competition. Outside the United Kingdom, there are even more giant vegetable growers, and Travis Gienger is among them. Gienger won at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival in California last 9 October to take home the $30,000 grand prize. In its 50th year, the contest pits growers of mega-gourds from all over North America against each other to see who can produce the biggest berry. In the recent contest, Gienger, from Minnesota, pipped his nearest rival by a hefty 113.4 kg to walk away with this year’s title. Contest organizers said he also notched a new world record in the process, besting an Italian effort from 2021 that tipped the scales at a relatively svelte 1,226 kg. Gienger’s enormous pumpkin weighed in at an improbable 1,247 kg. That is the same weight as a hippopotamus. WITH AFP The post Gourd guy appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
New York Fashion Week: On holiday with Michael Kors, shivers from Altuzarra
A holiday air with Michael Kors, shivers from Altuzarra, and Tory Burch asserting herself in a spectacular setting: New York Fashion Week expressed its diversity on Monday, the fourth day of the spring-summer 2024 shows. On vacation with Kors American designer Michael Kors took the audience on vacation at his spring-summer show, with Brooklyn's Domino Park, along the East River, transformed into a seaside promenade under the eyes of actresses Blake Lively and Halle Berry. "I can't take you all to Capri, so I can take you to Brooklyn," the 64-year-old Kors said smiling, referring to the Italian island. Models showcased light outfits embroidered with lace, a mini-skirt and blouse set, short dresses and pants paired with small tops in the brand's first show since the announcement that its holding company Capri would be purchased by Coach parent company Tapestry. A loose sweater in cashmere and cotton drops to just below the beltline, leaving the wearer's legs completely uncovered -- a nod to the recent "no pants" trend, maybe, or perhaps something more practical: "You can wear it in the heat. You can wear it when it's cool... We all know that the world has gotten too warm," Kors said. "We are increasingly dealing with, 'How do we get dressed?' Particularly when it's too warm outside, and in (the) office, it's too cold and we're freezing." Everything was in keeping with the vacation vibe, with flat sandals, and an artisanal, hand-woven wicker basket bag in a nod to the recently deceased singer and style icon Jane Birkin. "A British woman living in France, who had this very casual, laid-back attitude," said Kors. "I actually think it was very American." Shivers at Altuzarra The atmosphere took a darker turn at the Altuzarra show, held in the Manhattan Central Library under a high dome with opaque windows. French-American designer Joseph Altuzarra drew on Roman Polanski's timeless horror classic "Rosemary's Baby" for inspiration, creating a dark setting accompanied by ominous music. The collection gives pride of place to slip dresses worn under long jackets, and matching sets were transformed with crinkled satin and undone seams. Short tulle overlay dresses were covered with a transparent organza veil, reminiscent of a doll. With this collection, Altuzarra wrote in the show notes, he wanted to exude "a haunting, enigmatic allure, while anchored in everyday style and pragmatism." Tory Burch asserts herself "In a world of chaos, I wanted a little bit of calm. But I didn't want to be minimalist," Tory Burch said after her show, held in a grandiose setting under the roof and between the undulating granite facades of a new atrium at the American Museum of Natural History. She stepped up the experimentation: ultra-short skirts worn under a parka or a collarless blazer in futuristic shiny purple, with tinted glasses. Among the most original pieces of the collection, there is a cape and dress set in knitted viscose which ends in rounded reliefs. The fabrics are light, but they create structure. Like her other dresses, they are cut diagonally above the knees and leave one shoulder uncovered. The American designer said she wanted to take items like corsets "that were restrictive to women in the past and reclaim them and make them part of beautiful femininity".

Acai craze: Threat for the Amazon?
ABAETETUBA, Brazil (AFP) — Working in the sweltering heat of the Brazilian Amazon, Jose Diogo scales a tree and harvests a cluster of blackberries: Acai, the trendy “superfood” reshaping the world’s biggest rainforest — for better and worse. Diogo, 41, who lives in a poor, remote community founded by escaped slaves, is a world away from the upscale supermarket aisles of New York or Tokyo, where berries like these are sold in sorbets, smoothies, juices, powders and pills, popularized by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Meghan Markle. But he has a front-row seat of the changes the acai craze is bringing to the Brazilian Amazon. Since acai rose to international fame in the 2000s, touted for its rich nutritional and antioxidant properties, it has unleashed an economic boom for traditional farmers in the Amazon region, and been lauded as a way to bring “green development” to the rainforest without destroying it. But experts say it is also threatening the Amazon’s biodiversity, as single-crop fields of acai palms become increasingly common. Diogo, who lives in the village of Igarape Sao Joao, in the northern state of Para, is building himself a brick house thanks to the money he has made from acai. “Things get a lot better for us every harvest season,” he says, scraping the small berries into a large basket. He can fill 25 such baskets on a good day, bringing home between 300 and 625 reais ($60 to $128), he says. The berries are brought by boat to Belem, the state capital, where sweating workers carry huge loads of them to market to be sold as quickly as possible, before the fragile fruit goes bad. Long eaten by Indigenous groups, acai is a culinary mainstay in northeastern Brazil, eaten with manioc flour or used to accompany fish and other dishes. Its deep-purple pulp shot to popularity across Brazil over the past two decades, often drunk as juice or made into a sweetened sorbet and served with fruit and granola. From there, acai went on to win fans worldwide, from the United States to Europe, Australia and Japan, where it can sell for around $5 per bowl to upwards of $20 for a 100-gram packet of organic acai powder. Brazilian exports of acai and its derivatives surged from 60 kilograms in 1999 to more than 15,000 tons in 2021. Para, the source of 90 percent of Brazil’s acai, produced almost 1.4 million tons of it in 2021, worth more than $1 billion for the state’s economy. But studies show the expansion of acai palms in the Amazon is causing a loss of biodiversity in some regions by replacing other species. “Leave nature to its own devices, and you get 50 or maybe 100 acai plants per hectare,” says biologist Madson Freitas of the Museu Goeldi research institute in Belem.
