or not such a great idea? flash back to opening day. celia steinberg is the hostess of one of the biggest october fest tense and she's running late. she arrived with the other host at the fair grounds and a horse drawn carriage. the 10 managers number among the festivals, highest ranking business people for years they were exclusively meant that 30 years ago. nobody could have imagined having festival hostesses. but that's the change now in they made it at the last minute. some 10000 people are already in the 10th waiting welcome to the 2024 fair grounds and the magnificent hol, floyd 10. the only a couple of bits here is 14 large 10. so run by women. this is any guns

unless it's a whole different world from a normal pub that you run $365.00 days a year. here. it's in full swing right from the starting shot. and you never have a lot of them. at least not as far as the stress level goes. me of a looks like it's not from stress level over $6000000.00 people come every year to party, very and gender cliches like the women's dental and men's little holes and are a huge part of it has are the flirting alcohol and even harassment. but sometimes it goes too far. when you run around here, it's like open season. you really have to be careful. quite often you'll find a hand on your rear end. i will not the whole in man, always get the same result. it's a tough environment for the women who work here outside the fair grounds. rich, shall rosie gets ready. an estimated $200.00 bicycle tax. these are on the streets of munich during the festival. some of them peddled by women

you've got to deal with these wasted and sometimes unpleasant people and make an effort to keep nice and cool and get through it somehow. that's always quite a challenge. and the minotaur rich, so rosie is independent. she owns her bicycle rick shop. right off we go. even before she sets out it's obvious, this won't be an easy run. you a really great legs wasn't careful. like up by. 7 hey, not pass down like up to keeping these passengers under control isn't easy, right. i lose the lose good. 6 now he's getting out, i've got a great customer. will you be good? do you want to keep going? then you have to get back in there at last.

well, you take care, you rascal, yahoo! yahoo! was that normal? what just happened to the this time of night? yes, that can happen. come back and the flowers and just before closing the party gets going, sometimes being a woman has its upsides here, at least sylvia steinbeck thing. so yeah. like in a way it's sweet when i come in and my security people say, oh the how is this? and they lift me up or something. they probably wouldn't do that with a man. it's kind of sweet the way they treat you and appreciate you. as a woman, as hostess to the patrons in her tense, she hasn't experienced the aggressive behavior. some october fest guests have the this is my job as if it were made just for me. i love to be with the patrons with the co workers, and i loved the organizing and you're making people happy. you sense that and it's

great. also, great. are the millions of euros in revenue the proud to bring in and rich, shall rosie is also building up a financial cushion for the winter months. i'm a nice person to be honest. so it doesn't bother me that much to be out and about at night too. oh, cool, and you see some weird things at night. so it's not that heavy patrons, the revenues, the adrenalin, all these upsides balance out the negatives. for most women and october fast, switzerland is almost unimaginable without it stunning mountain scenery. every year, hundreds of thousands of people are drawn here and with views like these. it's not surprising, but some come for what's hidden within the peaks where true treasure lies. this quartz crystal ways so for kilos and its worth thousands of bureaus. men and

women risk their lives to hunt for these sparkly wonders. among them is too much time to hold on a former world champion ice climber, he's been to the most dangerous regions of the world. he and his brothers philip hunt for crystals in the summer months and the god must eve mountain range. the helicopter keeps them supplied with provisions and equipment at an altitude of over 3000 meters, thomas and his brothers set up their base camp for crystal hunting. the good preparation is every thing and this risky business with all them, all buttons and when we're working up here all week, we need a flat spot or a level plateau to sleep on and off. they both loved the rugged life high up in the mountains and the feeling of vastness and freedom. it gives them far from the rest

of the world to the end of it depends on the weather. if it's good, we stay up here for up to 14 days old. summer up here is short. by mid august, the 1st snow is fall on. it covers crevices. so cushion is needed. climate change is causing the swift glaciers to melt rapidly. for crystal hunters, it's both occurs and a blessing. the melting ice revealed new rock crevasses with quartz crystals, but the risk of falling is heightened is on all the equipment will come down in the next few days. we need to secure the blocks, so it won't slip if someone is working there at the extreme. the dangerous example . safety is the top priority. almost every year, a crystal hunter has an accident and this was helps. the melted ice makes it easier to reach the crystal. now, patients and a delicate touch are necessary so we can see right through it crystal clear snow.

a short time later this time hold the brothers make a sensational find. it's called a given. a twisted quartz crystal rentals are very rare and can fetch up to 10000 euros. this is the best find of the entire season. it's an extremely exceptional piece stokes. anyone looking to make sensational discoveries has to venture where nobody's ever been in the crevices near the road? have long been mind out. it's 6 in the morning just above freezing. but the sun is shining. just right for the brothers to embark on a long planned expedition, they aimed to clear out an unknown grotto they discovered in high resolution photos . only after thoroughly scouting. besides, do they climbed down? the weather has to be just right. rain makes the terrain slippery. things can get

serious with sudden thunderstorms or fox. i'm heading down now. yep. okay. in switzerland, technical age and blasting or prohibited when hunting crystals? everything here is done by hand. the steinberger brothers go where no one has been before, but the work is becoming more dangerous. climate change is causing the permafrost and the ops to saw, leading to rock and ice slides. today, they're in luck. another special find, a smoky quartz for almost flat crystal highly coveted in the gemstone market. the after 14 days, they finally return home to thomas is workshop. nowadays, he sells his crystals, mostly through instagram. as the market has changed significantly, the,

the, the guy, the no matter how long it been up there or how tired i am, the 1st thing i do is head to the cleaning room. i bring the goods down here and immediately start processing them before i even shower this way. they're ready for sale within half a day. so uh, a couple of items. these rear fines showcased online and in his showroom, secure his livelihood. a whole community of friends closely followed his work. many of his friends have had accidents in the mountains, and thomas himself has survived serious falls. but quitting is not an option for him. the lowest of a baby steps to use as the biggest challenge is the mental part and having to endure it for the long haul to animals. although you also have to be prepared for it all to end quickly div, that's my life. i've lived in extremely intensely and to the fullest. wonderful. if i'm not afraid of death, you help. k notion. don't add too much, steinberger,

except such a risk. because for him, the fruits of his labors are worth it. there are people in this world who achieve big things with simple ideas. one of them is british inventor lewis hornby, his jelly drops, can make life easier for people with dementia. water as a snack. the so called jelly drops are 95 percent water, but they're sweet with flavors like orange and strawberry blue as hornby and his team develop them, they're meant to help people with dementia stay hydrated. but do they really work? we went to london to find out it's a simple either a simple concept, nothing. that's why so many people have really understood that you wanted to make a difference. so lewis vented jelly dropped after

a frightening personal experience. his grandmother, pat who has dementia, was hospitalized with severe dehydration because she forgot to drink. after she recovered, louis looks for a way to health dementia. patients stay hydrated when i initially presented it to uh that was not video. that was the 1st time she'd ever seen them. it was amazing to say a engage seventies. yeah. certainly with them and you know, she passed them by what you see once and back and you talk about some folks that women so as well was really amazing in the u. k. alone, over 900000 people live with dementia and around 50000000 worldwide costs paper covered when i get addicted to the d. hydration among dimension of patients can lead to other major health problems treat and from carlos the jelly drops are sugar free and are enriched with vitamins and electrolyte. they're ahead of the all time or society

a way for professionals like her to check quickly. and this is how we eat ra muscles are also sometimes sourced from spain. they were once seen as a simple and cheap dish for the masses, but over the years they've become a more sought after an expensive choice. back at the restaurant, a portion of moving freed will send you back more than 30 euro, but the price tag isn't deterring these customers the every time we're in brussels, we always try and at least have some more sales team out there at the typical. i'm just kind of so it's as easy as that and that's a very special place traditional and the sort is very good. and they're not the only ones manager. teddy's garris has welcome some distinguished just over the years a disabled with i have the calmer between the, both of them by the clinton some jasmine. but i tell you everyone is more than

an artist like mozart, beethoven, rubens, and good to for example. incidentally, it is mainly men are represented here, as it often has been in history. valhalla was built to celebrate the german nation . so to find it more or less had insight i'm missing jump to cost. to find that why valhalla was so important to the various print chrome prints group, i just bought to be sure to stick together without ex town or danger. and if there is $600.00 on it, we should stand and fight together. and with a, with this morning monty's hopes to strengthen the petro autism and the national consciousness among the gentlemans, you can not only see boss you can memorial next and post together
