Blackout
In recent weeks, Austria has narrowly scraped past a nationwide blackout several times. So far, it has always been possible to avert it, but what if that doesn't happen? No power, no light, no telephone – what do you do? The good news is that you can take precautions against prolonged power cuts like a blackout. In the course of the online lecture, many questions will be answered: How does such a large-scale, prolonged power blackout actually come about? What are the possible consequences for the population? What makes a household crisis-proof? The lecture is free of charge!
Die Helfer Wiens. 18 March 18:30. Free of charge. Please register. Web |

Sleep, the elixir of life
The reason for rumpled sheets used to be nicer: More and more people are suffering from insufficient or poor sleep during the pandemic, the reason being a variety of fears and worries. On today's World Sleeping Day, Melanie Pesendorfer tackles sleep problems in her Zoom lecture “Sleep, the elixir of life”: as a trained sleep coach, she explains the health consequences and analyses sleep types as well as annoying sleep robbers. Practical help is offered in the form of relaxation techniques before going to bed in the evening. That way, travelling to the land of dreams will work out again.

Global climate strike
All over the world people are protesting against the destruction of our planet today. Fridays For Future calls for a global climate strike. Corona-compliant protests are planned worldwide and throughout Austria – minimum distance and FFP2 masks are mandatory everywhere! Meeting points in Vienna: the metro stations Schottentor, Volkstheater, Karlsplatz, Stadtpark and Stubentor, from there you walk together to the Ringstraße. Here, people form a chain of people at a distance of 3 metres from each other, connected by colourful banners and strings. There will also be music, art events and speeches.

Around the World in One Kitchen
The cutest series since the invention of cooking shows: In New York, Brian and son Sam have been cooking their way alphabetically around the world since the beginning of the pandemic, recorded as the YouTube series “Around the World in One Kitchen”. Every week it's the turn of a new nation's dish (there are 194), but not everything passes the mini-chef's taste test ;-) A special episode is available today exclusively on “Turnstile Tours”: The two take you behind the stove and cook their next dish live. They have already cooked Antigua, Afghanistan and Austria, and they still want to get to Zimbabwe – fingers crossed!

Green Pop-up
The high-end department store Steffl has brought a couple of new pop-up shops into the house, and they have moved into the ground floor. Start-ups from Hamburg, Paris and London show their original design pieces that combine high-tech and nature. The Viennese company Neutos is there with its design lamps: miniature bottle gardens are integrated into the transparent lamp base. Also suitable for people without a green thumb are the Green Factory plants in glass spheres, which form a self-contained eco-system. To match, you can get deceptively real bird singing from so-called “Zwitscherboxen”.
Steffl, Kärntner Straße 19, 1010 Vienna. Mon-Fri 10:00 to 19:00, Sat until 18:00. Web |

108 sun salutations
Don't be put off by the large number, 108 is simply considered a sacred number in yoga. And you don't have to complete the full 108 salutations with yoga teacher Sabine from “YogaInn” at the free Zoom meeting. The main thing is to welcome spring together today. Sun salutations are a powerful practice, and after just a few rounds the body gets into the flow. During the movements, the head gets a break and you can focus only on your own breath until a meditative state is reached. Breaks may be taken at any time or you can move on to the final relaxation.
YogaInn. Via Zoom. 21 March 9:30 to 12:00. Free donation. Web |

Circus Down Under: Humans 2.0
The Australian “Circa Contemporary Circus” plays in completely different spheres than a normal circus. The company from Down Under is famous for its dynamic choreography and breathtaking images. Because their latest show, “Humans 2.0”, could not go on tour, it now takes to the virtual stage as a recording: the Festspielhaus St. Pölten is showing the dizzying performance for a week free of charge as a stream. World-class artists swing hazardously through the air, push themselves to the limit and test their physical limits. A true spectacle!

Poppy's
In the beginning there was the love for her Portuguese husband, then soon for the whole country: Katharina Mautner-Markhof shares a bit of her love for Portugal in her concept store Poppy's, a pastel shop with lots of space for sustainable design. She has also brought along some delicacies, but above all ceramics and beautiful It-pieces: handmade “Barru Pottery” is printed with traditional crocheted doilies, and shopping bags in fruity ice cream colours are made from old carpets. There are homely items from Scandinavia, and the “Stickylemon” backpacks in playful patterns are Dutch.
Poppy's, Hollandstraße 18/2, 1020 Vienna. Tue-Fri 9:30 to 18:00, Sat 9:00 to 14:00. Web |

Tolstoy
Ok, learned something new again: the famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy was a vegan. And in this capacity, he is the eponym of a new restaurant between TU and Naschmarkt, focusing exclusively on vegan food. In the future, the restaurant is to become a worldwide franchise chain, which is why it is aimed at a young audience. You don't order from the waiter but a touch screen, and you pick up your meal at the counter. The menu consists mainly of pinsas (flat breads) and creative salads. Since the pinsa dough has to rise for at least 24 hours, it is particularly digestible – and tastes good!
Tolstoy, Rechte Wienzeile 1, 1040 Vienna. Tue-Sun 11:00 to 21:00. Web |
