Estonian Air aitab hõlpsasti reisi kavandada

Easy Travel Planning with Estonian Air

Puhkuste kõrghooaeg paneb paljud reisiplaane tegema ja mõtlema, kuidas sõprade ja lähedaste seltsis mõnusalt aega veeta. Estonian Air arendab teenuseid põhimõttel, et puhkusereis ei alga lennujaamast, vaid juba kodust või kontorist, kui olete info saamiseks või piletite tellimiseks otsustanud meiega ühendust võtta.

Hiljuti Estonian Airi kodulehele lisatud hinnakalender ja lennukaart aitavad vaadata lennuplaani, saada infot Estonian Airi otsesihtkohtade kohta, leida madalaimat saadaolevat hinda ja osta piletit.

Lisaks pakume kodulehe vahendusel üle 100 000 erineva hinnaklassi ja teenindustasemega hotelli kogu maailmas ning soodsate hindadega takso- ja autorenditeenuseid.

Juunist alates pakume Estonian Airi kodulehel uuenduslikku teenust nimega Let Me Think (Mõtlen veel), mis võimaldab valitud hinnatasemega piletid 48 tunniks ootele panna, et arutada reisiplaane ja mõtteid kolleegide, sõprade või pereliikmetega ning teha lõplik otsus, kas minna reisile või mitte.

Juulist alates saavad turistiklassi pileti ostnud reisijad taas pikematele lendudele meie kodulehelt sooja toitu ette tellida.

The peak holiday season makes us planning trips in order to spend enjoyable time with our family and friends. Our approach to developing services is based on the insight that your trip does not begin at the airport. It starts at home or in the office when you decide to contact us for getting information and booking your trip.

The Fare Calendar and Route Map at Estonian Air’s home page were worked out a while ago to help you to explore the flight schedule, get information on Estonian Air’s direct flight destinations, find the lowest available fares and buy tickets.

In addition, Estonian Air is offering a possibility to choose between thousands of accommodation facilities all over the world, as well as taxi or car rental options for a favorable price.

In June we launched a new and innovative service on Estonian Air’s home page.The “Let Me Think” option provides an easy way to ‘lock in’ a selected fare for up to 48 hours. This gives sufficient time to share the itinerary and travel plans with your friends and family and decide upon booking the flight.

Priit Hõbemägi kolumnist

Lennukis tulevad paremad mõtted Iga kord, kui sõitsin reisile, panin tähele oma-

pärast nähtust. Veel enne kui lennuk õhku tõusis, veel enne turvavöö kinnitamist, hakkasid mu peas keerlevad küsimused üksteise järel nagu iseenesest lahenema. Mõtlesin töö- ja muudele asjadele tavaliselt terve lennu aja, tegin märkmeid ja enne sihtpunkti jõudmist olin lahendanud hulga küsimusi, mis muidu pikemat pusimist tõotasid.

Ma ei osanud fenomeni seletada, ja leppisin selle kui sündinud tõsiasjaga. Kuni kord sattusin juhuslikult artiklile, mis rääkis ühest teaduslikust uuringust.

Teadlased olid uurinud seda, miks me

tihti ei suuda koduses või töises keskkonnas oma probleeme lahendada, kuid leiame neile kiiresti lahenduse siis, kui oleme tavapärasest keskkonnast kusagil kaugel eemal.

Selgus, et meie aju jälgib hoolikalt, kus kohas me oma mõtetega tegeleme ja käitub vastavalt sellele eri moel. Kui istume töölaua taga ja mõtleme mingile ülesandele, siis tuletab aju meile pidevalt meelde, miks me seda või teist lahendust kasutada ei saa – näiteks pole piisavalt raha, inimesi, aega või muid ressursse.

8

Kui aga püüame sama teemat lahendada paarisaja kilomeetri kaugusel oma büroost, siis oleksid justkui need takistavad asjaolud kadunud – või kui soovite – lennukist maha jäänud. Näeme asjaolusid selgemalt ja justnagu kõrgemalt. Saame keskenduda, ilma et süveneksime liigselt pisidetailidesse. Suudame välja mõelda innovaatilisi lahendusi.

Niimoodi juhtus ka minuga – lennukisse

istudes olin vaimus juba töökeskkonnast väljunud ja mu mõistus häälestus ümber. Olin justkui asjadest üle ja vaatlesin suurt pilti linnulennult, nägin paremini seoseid erinevate lülide vahel ja suutsin neid omavahel ühendada. Mõtelda oli mõnus. Nii et lennureisi ajal on lausa soovitav igasuguseid asju selgeks mõelda.

Hiljuti aga kuulsin raadiost soovitust osta lennureisile kaasa varuaku, et mitmetunnise lennu ajal tühjaks mängitud nutitelefoni akut juba enne maandumist uuesti laadida saaks!

Tõepoolest, lendamisel on palju võlusid – mängi, maga, unista või mõtle! Ja nagu teadlased on välja uurinud, õnnestub mõtlemine lennukis isegi paremini kui maa peal.

Birgitta Festival More International Than Ever Birgitta Festival combines the dusky charm of a medieval convent with contemporary musical theatre in all its richness. The festival’s Artistic Director Eri Klas says that this year the festival is more international than in earlier years.

„It is common that our guest theaters are

connected with my person: I have conducted in Moscow in the Bolshoi Theatre and I was the chief conductor in Novaya Opera. Now we look more to the west and are co-operating with the reputable Garsington festival. They are sending us „Don Giovanni”, an opera by Mozart,” explained Klas, who will be conducting the masterpiece. Daniel Slater’s direction looks at don Giovanni’s theme from a new angle – as a love triangle. The stage design is a labyrinth, from which there is no escape.

At the same time the festival brings home talents. „Last year, the first bass of Vienna Opera, Estonian Ain Anger sang in the „Lohengrin” of

Novaya Opera. This year our choir and three leading singers – first baritone of Hamburg Opera, Lauri Vasar, first bass of Vienna Opera, Ain Anger and Aile Asszonyi – will be part of England's production,” he added.

There will also be interesting guests from Siberia. „Ballet company from Mari Eli Republic will perform in two oratorios by Carl Orff, „Carmina Burana” and „Trionfo di Afrodite“, the latter for the first time on the festival stage. The production will be from Mai Murdmaa, the grand lady of Estonian ballet,” says Klas. Whereas „Carmina” is a hymn to spring and the joys of life, „Aphrodite” conveys a story of a groom and a bride. Based on the GrecoRoman poet Catullus’ „Wedding-poetry”, the work exhibits complicated psychological relations that find their solution at the very end.

is characteristic to our festival,” says Klas, amused. The Israeli ensemble „Voca People” produces a show of musical humor, where the aliens from of a faraway planet run out of fuel in their spaceship. They are forced to land on Earth and start communicating with the locals. Since their ship can only run on musical energy, they begin to play all kinds of music created on the planet Earth. Both Bach and Genesis will do for fuel.

The convent walls are turned into the Notre Dame Cathedral with the ballet „Esmeralda”, based on Victor Hugo’s novel.

The stage is a set also for great emotions and Puccini's short operas. „The Cloak” features a wild love triangle on a Paris river barge and „Gianni Schicchis” is a comic story based on the 30th song of Dante’s „Divine Comedy”. Whereas Puccini’s flowing music is perfectly suited to display desperate emotions, the second work is a situational comedy about remaking the will of a wealthy deceased.

The festival venue offers a real thrill – the audience arrives through a medieval cemetary, watches the performance between convent walls, has dinner on the Nuns’ Terrace, descends into the wine cellar and explores the medieval passages. A roof cover and ascending stands guarantee a comfortable experience.

Sunken Treasure in Tallinn Harbour Text: Krista Sarv, archaeologist and researcher of Estonian History Museum Photos: Estonian History Museum

The Great Guild Hall, the most important building of Tallinn merchants in the Middle Ages, now houses the Estonian History Museum.

Silver coins from the Middle Ages, weigh-

ing scales, tin and bronze masses used for trading with Russia or Scandinavia, exquisitely illustrated knife holsters – this was the treasure hidden in a travel chest at the bottom of the sea. While most treasures are found in the ground, there are also plenty of them in the sea.

Last summer a hobby diver accidentally stumbled upon a unique mediaeval travel chest that was lying at the bottom of the sea in Tallinn harbour. In September 2011 the chest arrived to the Estonian History Museum. It had been laying six metres deep and its contents indicated that it was about 700 years old.

This invaluable discovery is believed to be the first such mediaeval travel chest found in the Central and Northern Europe. In June, the treasure chest were displayed to the public at the exhibition „Watertight Sources” in the Great Guild Hall of the Estonian History Museum.

The sunken chest

also contained 218 silver coins originating mainly from Visby, Tallinn and Riga. The coins showed that the chest had sunk somewhere between 1280 and 1290. By that time Tallinn was already developing into a town. It had been granted Lübeck law in 1248, but only had a couple of thousand residents and looked very different from the Old Town that we know today. There was no town hall and the building of the town wall had only begun. It had very few stone buildings and was more an agrarian than a trading town. Tallinn’s most spectacular buildings at that time were four stone churches and two monasteries located at its outskirts.

The most important gateway of the then Tallinn was its port. The town residents’ demand for fancy clothes, good food and

In the 13th century, purchases were paid by a certain weight of silver

luxury items as well as the growing living standard kept merchants and the knife trader who owned the travel chest busy.

The end of the 13th century had brought along a major change in trade between towns. Such trading towns as Lübeck, Visby and Riga had formed the Hanseatic League that started to control most of the trade in Northern Europe. While earlier merchants had mainly been travelling in groups, they now started to travel also individually. One of such travelling merchants was also the owner of the travel chest found in Tallinn harbour. He had brought his leather knife holsters from England and was visiting Estonia either to sell these exquisitely designed luxurious knife holsters or to buy knife-blades made by a local blacksmith. He was probably on his way to the town of Visby on the island of Gotland, a major trade centre, but obviously something happened to one of his shipments at the Tallinn harbour.

Of course, the diverse contents of the travel chest leave room also for other interpretations and everyone can create their own version.

Estonia’s Golden Opportunity Arno Pijpers

Once in a lifetime chance Arno Pijpers: True! Hosting U-19 European championship is a great achievement for Estonia and Estonian football, in terms of both sports and society. It is a great opportunity to showcase our football because it’s difficult to imagine a stage with more talent on it. Only maybe if Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay would also take part.

Mart Poom: It is a great chance for our boys to play in their own country, in their hometown! This tournament will present future stars and many scouts will be there. International broadcasting will reach the whole world. Our goal is to be in the first six in order to take part in the U-20 World Cup final tournament.

Estonia is hosting future stars of European football this summer, as the European champion in U-19 age group will be determined during 3-15 July at the European Championship final tournament.

Text: Lennart Komp Photos: Lembit Peegel

Host country Estonia belongs to group A together with Portugal, Greece and Spain. Group B consists of Serbia, France, England and Croatia.

U-19 European Championship, taking place in Tallinn, Haapsalu and Rakvere during 3-15 July, is historic in many ways – Estonian national team will participate in the European Championship finals for the first time and it’s the first time that European champion in football will determined in Estonia.

To give you an insight, we asked Estonian U-19 head-coach Arno Pijpers and Estonian football legend Mart Poom, who is also the ambassador of the tournament, to give their opinion on several controversial statements.

The only way for the Estonian team to be successful is to defend AP: Estonian football has developed to a point where we have our own style. You can see it on the national team, clubs and youth teams. Several coaches have agreed with me on this and players are already recognizing the style. We want to keep our play compact and organized, being solid in the defence and while controlling the ball, linking defenders and strikers with midfielders, not only kicking long balls. We have guys who are creative and make chances happen.

MP: I do not believe that either Estonian adult or youth team could play without discipline.

Defence must be strong and cooperation between all lines has to function well. If we play as a team, we can surprise our opponents for sure.

Home crowd can be very helpful, but also cause more pressure AP: We tell our players that this tournament is our challenge and we have to do everything to be worthy of that challenge, but not to be nervous about it. We want the result, that’s true, but at the same time we want to show good quality football.

MP: Our players should understand their roles, whether they play in the A national team or in the youth team. Teamwork is the keyword here.

in time July / August 2012

coming up Estonian players can use the tournament as a spring board to foreign clubs AP: When the tournament starts, every scout in Europe will be in Estonia to look for new talents. It’s a great opportunity as well as a great challenge. I can assure you that we have players who can catch scouts’ eyes but I’m not giving you any names (laughs)! Couple of guys have potential, but they have to develop.

MP: I couldn’t agree more. In this tournament everything is in their hands.

Spain is the main favourite to lift the trophy AP: Yes! But everyone should keep their eye on France as well. Spain and Portugal have done consistent and top-quality youth work for many decades in order to make all their teams play the same style from the youngest to the A national team. They have a clear idea and vision while other teams depend more on the choice of players and their head coach.

MP: I think France can cause Spain a lot of headache. They demolished Netherlands in the Elite round tournament. Some may think that Greece is an underdog but they have been impressive as well. Teams who are here are really at the top of their game because we need to remember that Europe’s football giants like Italy, Russia, Netherlands and Germany aren’t here.

One victory would most probably take Estonia to the World Cup AP: I know that (laughs)! But we treat this as a challenge. If we make a good tournament, play good quality football and this is enough then yes, we can reach the world cup. We know our opportunities but our focus is on playing good football.

MP: We have to consider 6th place at the tournament our main goal. It would take us to the world cup and this is really a once in a lifetime opportunity.

can achieve good results with, but also think about their future.

MP: Players in A national team are professionals and the coach knows what his players can do, what are their capabilities. With young players you have to get to know them and their psyche.

Youth football is more interesting to watch than adults’ football AP: It can be true. Matches can be more exciting and attractive because you can see individual talents. Players are younger and I think it’s fair to say that more naïve. They aren’t as professional, so they make more mistakes that games can benefit from.

MP: Good quality football is always enjoyable to watch no matter the age. But what distinguishes men’s football from youth football is that young players tend to be bolder, they are more naïve, taking risks and attacking more often.

What to watch: set-pieces. In the beginning of the 2000s when Arno Pijpers took over Estonian national team we scored many goals from set-pieces i.e. corner-kicks, free-kicks etc.

Now U-19 national team is reported to be practicing them also!

Who to watch: Karol Mets, Karl-Eerik Lui-

London Aquatics Centre – Beyond Olympics Text: Laur Laanemaa Photos: Hufton + Crow

This summer, London hosts the Olympic Games. The city is full of events and besides sports there is a lot to see. The Olympic village is a landmark for years with some of its buildings being real architectural masterpieces. Among them is the London Aquatic Centre.

Zaha Hadid Architects explain that the

main inspiration for London Aquatic Centre was to develop a strong design celebrating all the aquatic sports at the Olympics, but also to create an outstanding legacy for everyone in London, for many generations to come. The wave-formed roof design is very appropriate for aquatic sports and combined with its large size and high quality of construction, creates an elegant and simple expression of the celebration of water.

“The new digital design tools combined with the ability of structural engineers to calculate complex geometries and mixed structural systems allow us to integrate highly complex forms into a fluid and seamless whole. We like to work a lot with curve-linearity because we believe it visually simplifies the configuration, and you can then cope with more complexity without crowding or cluttering the visual scene,” say Zaha Hadid Architects.

Many aspects of the building are unique. In the

Olympic mode, i.e while in use during the London 2012 Olympic Games, the competition pools have temporary spectator terraces rising above the height of the roof over the swimming pools. So the spectators on one side of the pool cannot see the spectators on the other side of it. Instead their view is focused very much on swimmers. Combined with the strong lighting illuminating the pool water, it is a very intense and vibrant experience for the spectator. The wave-formed roof over the main swimming pool accommodates sculptural diving platforms reaching up to 10 metres of height. The idea behind their majestic form is to celebrate each of them as an individual structure, but also to demonstrate the ascent of the diver to the board. Usually the access stairs are hidden to the back of the boards. In the Aquatics Centre, the staircase is an important element of the design and the diver’s ascent up the platforms is considered a part of the spectacle.

“The main challenge was to design and construct a huge 17,500 seat venue for the Olympics which can be reduced to only 2500 seats afterwards. The building must have very different access and usage from one mode (Olympic) to the other mode (Legacy),” explain the architects. One of the largest challenges to the design was to maintain its simplicity whilst incorporating a lot of technical requirements of performance and construction.

The central idea across all the new London 2012 Olympic venues was to design and construct them for the long-term Legacy use by Londoners for many generations after the Olympic Games.

The projects were then adapted for use during the Olympics. in time July / August 2012

Ahhaa – Discover the Fun Side of Science Text: Liis Kängsepp Photos: Silver Gutmann

Lightning in a jar, chicks hatching in front of your eyes, explosions in laboratory and dissection of eyes – sounds like a scenario of a horror film?

Guess again – all these activities and many more are part of the everyday life at AHHAA Science Centre in Tartu.

Although some of this might sound scary, AHHAA centre is all but frightening. Being the biggest science centre in the Baltic States and Estonian Best Tourism Establishment in 2011, AHHAA offers fun and educational activities for all age groups.

“Last summer everybody came to AHHAA Location AHHAA is located only about 100 metres from n

Planetarium

– it was simply too hot to be outside,” says Liina Pulges, AHHAA Science Centre's communication manager. “You won't get a tan, but instead you might get smarter in a very joyful way.”

All the exhibits in AHHAA are meant for touching and exploring, nothing is sealed away behind glass. Well, except the hatching chicks, the anthill and the aquarium fish.

As of last year AHHAA has better opportunities to offer edutainment as their new building hosts almost 3000 square metres of exhibition space. In addition to the building in the centre of Tartu, AHHAA has a branch in Tallinn and a 4D cinema in Lõunakeskus shopping centre in Tartu.

Exhibitions this summer Besides their permanent exhibition in Tartu, AHHAA hosts different temporary shows. The hall in Tartu hosts an exhibition about the wonders of light, called “Aha, Sparkling and Sizzling!”. It gives an interesting overview of the different aspects of light, allowing visitors to draw UV-graffiti, create

place to be electricity and race artificial bugs that have solar panels on their backs. The exhibition was created and built by AHHAA's very own inventors.

The branch in Tallinn holds an exciting music exhibition “Aha, Sound of Physics!”. Visitors can produce sound and music using different instruments and techniques, learn about the physical properties of sound and study the effects of music on their bodies.

Science Theatre Among everyday activities at AHHAA centre in Tartu is the Science Theatre, led by a 22-year old chemist Laura Vigel who can get everybody excited about natural sciences.

At their shows you will find yourself in the midst of the rustle and bustle of experiments and explosions. Also, you will get a simple explanation to the principles behind the laws of nature.

Laura is responsible for coming up with most of the experiments shown at the theatre – she keeps testing new ways to make mini-explosions using different gases and other components. She once demonstrated some of her standard tricks to her colleagues abroad and swept them off their feet.

“People were quite impressed that such a young girl would be brave enough to show these explosions to the public,” says Laura. “Even men had to hand it to me as they confessed they are not brave enough to show such tricks in front of people.”

Science theatre has shows daily, each show can seat up to 70 people. There are various shows dedicated to different topics.

4D cinema This summer AHHAA offers a new treat to those interested in 4D cinema: in June a new film premiers at AHHAA 4D Adventure Cinema. The film is called “Let's fly to Lotte”, featuring the dog girl Lotte, a big hero for Estonian children. Lotte is a cartoon dog girl famous for her adventurous mind and kind spirit. This new film shows a ladybird's adventures on her pine cone plane on the way to Lotte's house to have breakfast with pancakes. Hopefully people will be able to smell the pancakes, too.

Usually 4D films are made only with computers, but “Let's fly to Lotte’s” characters were first drawn on paper and then processed to 3D image.

Although the film has standard 4D cinema effects, it rather focuses on Estonian nature.

4D cinema has shows daily at Lõunakeskus shopping centre and at AHHAA's Tallinn branch.

Planetarium AHHAA is also a great place to get more insight about the wonders of the universe – there is a planetarium where visitors can see up to 5 million stars and travel to the fringe of our universe.

The planetarium uses MEGASTAR-IIB projector that holds the Guinness World Record for being the world's most advanced planetarium projector that can simultaneously project ten million stars onto a planetarium dome. AHHAA Centre's projector was the first MEGASTAR-IIB projector in Europe.

Shows are held daily, 11.00-18.00. To see them you need to buy an extra ticket.

children have had a very rough time after the Georgian war in 2008, so a number of Estonian families decided to organize a vacation for them in Estonia. But before that, a small group of people went to see the resettlers camp.

The photos are just a small glimpse into the fun the team had visiting the historical Kakheti province in Eastern Georgia this May. The blend of breathtaking nature, sincere hospitality to the point of guests' embarrassment and uninhibited spice for life mark just some of the memories made.

At times it felt like time travel is possible: there were identifiable marks of the past still alive and strong in the area. Kakheti is predominantly agricultural region and traditionally not the first choice for a tourist to visit. But for a backpacker the 3rd century monasteries, small town family run hinkali diners and warm puri bakeries plus lush moun-

tain trails become a near perfect get-away. And since it seems like half of the middle aged men used to do their service duty in Estonia or at least in the Baltics you'll be making friends every step of the way. Georgia is safer than ever and even more so in the rural areas.

For our team,

it was a privilege to follow along with Gogita Gogita Chiboshvili run puppet theater and to observe the youth work a former sambo master Aneri Giunashvili is doing in the refugee villages. It's people like them that allow youth to refocus from war trauma and loss of home to finding new motivation for life and working hard at school.

On behalf of Estonian Air, we hope that this trip will be the beginning of many lifelong friendships. Rest, learn and have fun visiting the homes of Estonian families.

Evolution in Estonian Labour Market Although Estonian real gross domestic

product (GDP) growth dropped to 3.9 percent in the first quarter of 2012, this was not a disappointment. Having witnessed a sharp decrease in the growth rate from 8.5 percent to 4.5 percent in the last quarter of 2011, and against a background of global uncertainty, one could have expected even worse.

For 2012 the analysts have consolidated their growth expectations around 1.5-2.0 percent. The optimists have decreased their views e.g. the Ministry of Finance came down to 1.8 percent from the 3.0 percent of their previous forecast, and the pessimistic views have been corrected upwards e.g. the International Monetary Fund jumped from 1.2 percent to 1.6.

The eyes of analysts are now turned towards Greece. Assessments of the potential losses for the countries vary from zero to 100% of the outstanding loans and guarantees. The first figure stems from the Estonian Minister of Finance, Jürgen Ligi, who brought this message back from the EU finance ministers’ meeting, and the last one from Willem Buiter, the Citybank chief economist.

sure of the Estonian government to the Greek debt is currently approximately 300 million Euros, but the bills will come in over a longer period.

It seems a long way from 3.9 percent growth in the first quarter to 1.5 percent as an annual average but the latest external trade statistics show that this is realistic. With more than double-digit growth rates, the export growth remained solid in the first two months of the year, but the decrease in March – minus one percent in nominal terms – indicates that exports may not support the economy in the same way they have over the last few years.

After “heavy fights” in March, peace

has returned to the labour market. The threeday peaceful strike with approximately 7000 participants would be a dream for Greece and other European governments.

The affair's major achievement was not the main event itself, but the media campaign conducted before the strike. Although seemingly nothing has been achieved, increased public awareness is a sufficient reward for the unions, provided that the seeds of the action survive.

The actual outcome is that teachers' salaries will increase according to the previously determined pattern, not frozen for another year as the government had warned. Hope for bigger salary increases in the future will depend heavily on the success of the planned educational reform.

Notwithstanding this “revolutionary” event, developments in the labour market have been evolutionary. Even though the unemployment ratio jumped from 11.4 percent to 11.5 percent in 2012: this is not bad given the usual seasonal pattern.

Labour contractions in construction and manufacturing were compensated by an increase in the service sector.

The major changes in labour market regulation are related to unemployment compensation. First-

in time July / August 2012

tion had been planned to be introduced from the beginning of 2013 but it has now been cancelled.

Given Estonia's current liberal labour market regulation, it is hard to demand any further liberalisation. For example, in its recent reforms Spain reduced redundancy payments to 33 days salary per year worked, with the maximum compensation capped at 24 months' salary. However, this is still very generous compared to Estonia, where an employee who has worked 5-10 years can expect only one month’s salary from the employer, and two months’ salary when the number of years worked exceeds 10 years.

The second change relates to those employees who leave work voluntarily. They are not entitled to unemployment compensation. This regulation remains unchanged – compensa-

ly, the unemployment insurance contribution rate, which was the subject of a strong dispute between employers and labour unions on the one side and the government on the other, will decrease from the current 4.2 percent of gross salary to 3.0 percent starting from 01.01.2013. This benefits both employers and employees, as the latter are paying the larger share – two thirds of the total contribution.

sihtkoht

Sagedased Helsingi külastajad teavad, et linnast on saanud moodne eluruum, mille elanike igapäeva ilmestab disain. Pole ime, sest 2012. aasta maailma disainipealinna tiitlit kannab just Helsingi.

elsingit disainipealinnana reklaamitakse kui maailma suurimat disainiväljapanekut, kus kavas üle 300 projekti. Pooled neist on näitused, üritused, etendused jmt, mis tõendavad disaini mitmekesisust. Teine pool projektidest kujutavad endast arendusi, kus disainile lähenetakse väga loominguliselt.

Keset Helsingi disainikvartalit on ajutine ehitis nimega Paviljonki. Paviljonki on avatud puitpaviljon Soome arhitektuuri- ja disainimuuseumi vahel. Kõik üritused seal on tasuta. Näha ja kogeda võib palju: töötoad, disainiturud, filmiõhtud ja isegi regulaarne joogatund. Kes pole programmist huvitatud, võib lihtsalt nautida ajutist puitarhitektuuri, kus vanad euroalused on leidnud uue elu mööblina. Hoone kohvikus pakutakse lisaks kohvile kohalikku toitu vastavalt hooajale, Paviljonki tagahoovi on rajatud köögiviljaaed.

Aalto unistus sauna ja kultuuri integreerimisest on viimaks tõeks saamas, sest maailma disainipealinna raames ehitatakse uus avalik saun Hakaniemenranta parki. Kulttuurisauna projekti algatajad, projekteerijad, rahastajad ja ehitajad on arhitekt Tuomas Toivonen ja disainer Nene Tsuboi.

sihtkoht Õitsev geriljaaiandus ja toidukultuur Viimastel aastatel näitab Helsingi uut maalimatrendi – geriljaaiandust. Initsiaator n

kogukonna põlluharimisel on MTÜ nimega Dodo. Disainipealinna raames rajasid nad Turn Table’iks kutsutud linnaaia. See on aiandus- ja tegevusoaas Helsingi keskel raudteemiljöös vanades veduriangaarides.

Kõik algas aastal 2009, kui noored tahtsid lihtsalt proovida, kuidas kasvatada toitu linnakeskkonnas. Nüüd on Helsingi linnapõllunduse esirinnas. Pisikesi aedu on rajatud üle terve linna, inimesed kasvatavad ürte ja juurikaid kortermajade hoovides ja terrassidel.

Turn Table’i üks aktiviste Päivi Raivio osutab mitmele linnapõllunduse eelisele: toit on kohalikku päritolu ja seda ei pea kaugele vedama, ühine aed naabritega aitab kogukonnas paremaid suhteid luua.

Kuid kas tõesti võib linnasaastes kasvanud toit tervislik olla? Raivio ütleb, et jah.

“Teeme aeg-ajalt teste ja need on puhtad,” kinnitab ta. “Soovitame mulla osta ja vaadata, et see ei puutuks maapinnaga kokku.”

Viis aastat tagasi ei peetud Helsingit paigaks, kus saab hästi süüa. Nüüd on olukord n muutunud.

Hea näide on Kitchen&Co disainikvartalis. Kitchen&Co on leidnud kodu vanas koolimajas ja loonud trendika restorani, kuhu mahub umbes 80 inimest. Restorani tagahoovi terrassile kogunevad soomlased kohe, kui päike kevadel juba pisut sooja annab.

“Arvan, et soomlased on hakanud rohkem reisima ja restoranides sööma,” ütleb üks restorani juhte Tiina Hettula.

Veel üks asi on muutumas – kohvikukultuur. Öeldakse, et soomlased on maailma n suuremaid kohvijoojaid, tarbides 12 kilogrammi kohvi aastas inimese kohta. Seda arvestades on paljud turistid kohvi tellides olnud üllatunud, aga mitte heas mõttes. Aga olukord läheb paremaks ja kohvi tellimine pole enam õnnemäng. www.eat.fi, www.kaupunkiviljely.fi ja www.kaantopoyta.fi Suvanto

Kingi ostmas Paljudele tähendab Soome disain eelkõige arhitektuuri, mööblit ja sisekujundust, aga vähem moodi ning rõivastust.

Tõusev täht jalatsidisainis Minna Parikka kinnitab, et Soomes tõesti pole palju kingadisainereid.

Enamik Soome jalanõubrände on praktilise suunitlusega ja neis puudub naiselik või mehelik joon.

Parikka naistekingad on rohkem kui 100% naiselikud ja peibutavad iga naist.

Parikka loodab luua universumi, mille keskpunktiks on tema kingad. Juba on müügil ka kindad, käe- ja rahakotid. “Olen naine, tahan kanda kõrgeid kontsi,” ütleb Parikka, “ja need peavad olema mugavad.”

Uus tööruum lennujaamas Need, kes läbivad Helsingi vaid selleks, et jõuda järgmisele lennukile, saavad osa disainipealinnast tänu uuele arusaamale lounge’ist. Kohalik rahvusvaheline lennujaam avas mais uue kontseptsiooniga lounge’i Suvanto.

Kõik, kes veetnud tunde lennujaamas jätkulendu oodates, teavad, kui tüütu see on. Ooteajal võiks tööd teha, kuid selleks puudub sobiv koht.

Suvanto pakubki lahendust: lounge’is on mugavad toolid ja lauad, saab laadida elektroonikaseadmeid ja eralduda lennujaama saginast.

“Meie eesmärk oli luua reisijatele uus teenus, mis oleks kättesaadav kõigile ja aitaks muuta reisimiskultuuri,” ütleb lennujaamade operaatorfirma Finavia juht Marko Tikkanen. Finavia on Suvanto projekti partner. www.wdchelsinki2012.fi www.worlddesigncapital.com Lugu aitasid kirjutada Soome saatkond ja Helsingi turismiamet.

It will operate as an independet cultural centre where sauna is combined with cultural events.

Kulttuurisauna is scheduled to open in August 2012. You can keep up with the process of building the sauna at their website kulttuurisauna. posterous.com

Chapel of Silence Although compared to big hubs such as London or Rio de Janeiro, Helsinki seems rather quiet, one might still get tired from the city noise and all those people in the streets. The solution is to take 10 minutes off and meditate in the Chapel of Silence.

This wooden chapel was built especially for the HDC year and opened this June. The chapel is a fine example of innovative timber architecture built of handmade pieces of wood – made by local carpenters and each one of them has a special IDnumber.

To have a different city tour, check out Font Walk, a map that shows some visual stories of Helsinki that are usually go unnoticed. It gives an insight why Helsinki metro sign looks the way it does, what are the stories behind different signs on the houses and gives an alternative insight to understanding some of Helsinki's architecture.

Booming guerilla farming and food culture During recent years Helsinki has witnessed a new global trend – guerilla farming. n A lot of the initiative to enthuse community gardening is done by an NGO called Dodo. As a part of the WDC programme they initiated Turn Table – The Urban Garden. It is a gardening and activity oasis in the middle of Helsinki, in the railway milieu of the old engine bays.

It all started in 2009 when young people just wanted to try if it worked to grow food in a city environment. Now Helsinki is in the forefront of urban farming. This means small gardens are started all around Helsinki – people are growing herbs and vegetables together in the yards of blocked houses and on their terraces.

Päivi Raivio, one of the people behind Turn Table, points out some of the advantages of city farming: your food is locally grown, which means it does not have to travel long distances. Also having a common garden with your neighbours helps to build stronger communities.

But would food grown in the city pollution actually be healthy? Raivio says yes.

“We run tests every once in a while, they have all come back clean,” Raivio adds.

“We suggest you buy the soil and make sure it does not come in contact with the ground."

Five years ago Helsinki was not considered the a place to have good meals. n Things have changed a lot during the last years. A good example is Kitchen&Co in Design District. Almost hidden for ignorant by-passers, Kitchen&Co has found its home in a former school and developed the space into a trendy restaurant that seats about 80 people, in addition to that the restaurant has a back-yard terrace that Finns are eager to use as soon as the sun gets warmer in spring.

“I think Finns have started to travel and eat out more,” said Tiina Hettula, one of the restaurant's managers.

Another thing that is changing, is the café culture. Finns are said to be among n the biggest coffee drinkers in the world, consuming more than 12 kg of coffee per capita every year. Considering that, for many tourists the experience of having coffee in Finland has been surprising, and not in a good way. Luckily things have changed and having a coffee is not such a gamble anymore. www.eat.fi, www.kaupunkiviljely.fi and www.kaantopoyta.fi.

ish shoe designers around. Most of Finnish shoe brands are of practical value, but do not carry real feminine or masculine aspect in them. Parikka's shoes for women are more than 100% feminine and call out to every woman.

She hopes to develop a whole universe around her shoes. She is already selling matching gloves, purses and wallets. “As I am a woman, I want to wear high heels,” Parikka says, “and they should be comfortable.”

New working spaces at the airport Those who visit Helsinki only because they have a connecting flight, can also enjoy part of WDC events as in May a new lounge concept Suvanto was introduced at the local international airport.

Everybody who has spent hours at any airport, waiting for a connecting flight, knows how annoying it can be. Especially when you could use this time to get some work done, but have no proper space for it. Suvanto offers a solution – the lounge has comfortable chairs and tables where you can charge your electronic devices and separate yourself a bit from the airport hassle.

“Our goal was to create a new kind of passenger service that would be available for everyone and met the challenges of the changing passenger culture,” said Marko Tikanen, director at Finavia, a service company that provides all the requirements for air traffic. Finavia was a partner in the Suvanto project. www.wdchelsinki2012.fi www.worlddesigncapital.com in time July / August 2012

Nautida Viini – nautida elu Suurlinn Viin on palju rahulikuma elutempoga kui enamik teisi Euroopa pealinnu.

Viin on mitu aastat olnud rahvusvahelise elukvaliteedi indeksi järgi maailma pealinnade seas esimesel kohal. Viin lummab ajaloo ja kunstiga, kinnitavad kolm eestlannat, kes elavad seal.

K

aks aastat Viinis suursaadikuna Eestit esindanud Eve-Külli Kala tõdeb: "Viin on nagu muuseum, kust hoovab aukartustäratavat ajalugu ja imelist kunsti.

Suursugune ja uhke, vahel veidi kõrkki, kuid tänu eelmiste sajandite meistrite tööle ikka veel ütlemata glamuurne. Linn sõna otseses mõttes särab ja sillerdab päikese käes ning võlub mind müstilise arhitektuuriga. Kuid nagu muuseum pärast külastusaega, võib Viingi vahel tunduda nüüdisajast mahajäänuna ning hingele külm. Samas, muuseumis vaevalt keegi elada

tahaks, küll aga Viinis. " Ka viimased kuus aastat Austria pealinnas elanud Kadri Kallaste, kes tegeleb ajalooliste tapeetide uurimise ja säilitamisega, soovitab linna lihtsalt nautida, mitte joosta ühe vaatamisväärsuse juurest teise juurde. "Viin on tunduvalt rahulikuma elutempoga kui mitmed teised Kesk-Euroopa pealinnad. Nautlemine on siin osake elustiilist."

Viinis Euroopa Liidu Põhiõiguste Ametis programmijuhina töötava Ene Palmiste sõnul pole juhus, et Viini peetakse elukvaliteedilt parimaks pealinnaks maailmas. Elukvaliteet ei tähenda ainult puhast õhku, kauneid parke ja ilusaid maju.

Suursaadik kiidab Viini Riigiooperi head programmi ja üle maailma kokku lendavaid tippsoliste ning -dirigente. Ooperi vaheajal võib lipata üle tee asuvasse Sacheri kohvikusse ning nautida kuulsaid Sacheri vorstikesi. "Tore on vaadata, kuidas uhked teemantidega ehitud prouad ja nende saatjad kohvi kõrvale kahte vorstikest hammustavad," märgib Eve-Külli Kala.

Muusikaühingu e Musikvereini majas toimuvad võrratud kontserdid. Ja muidugi tuleks Viinis käia vähemalt korra ühel ballil. Aastas toimub üle 100 erineva balli, õhustiku poolest erilisemad on filharmoonikute ja kohvimeistrite ball. NB! meestel tuleb selga panna frakk, daamidel pikk õhtukleit.

Elu keeb kultuuri ümber

ma võimalikult paljudel võimalikult hea elada. Inimesed tunnevad, et neil on sõnaõigus, eluheidikuid ega getosid ei kohta. Siin ei pea pingutama, et end hästi tunda. Inimesed on väga sõbralikud.

Elu on meeldivalt stressivaba, Eestist tulles oli see väga suur kontrast."

Eve-Külli Kala meelispaiku on Muuseumikvartal sealse Leopoldi muuseumiga, kus on välja pandud parim valik tema ühe lemmikkunstniku Egon Schiele töödest. Jalutama soovitab suursaadik suunduda linna 7. rajooni, mis võlub boheemlasliku atmosfääri, arvukate väikeste butiikide, kunstigaleriide ning õdusate kohvikutega. Põnev on aga ka südalinna 1. rajoon, näiteks Burgtheateri ümbrus.

Suursaadik elab otse Schönbrunni lossi aia kõrval ja talle meeldib seal jooksmas käia ning aegajalt Gloriette kohvikus jalga puhata. Ümbritsevast pisut kõrgemal paikneva Gloriette juures on näha, mis värvi on taevas linna kohal ning ja sellest järeldada, mis ilm tulekul.

Life in Vienna is much calmer than in most other large capitals of Europe.

For several years, Vienna has been ranked No. 1 among world capitals by the international quality of life index. Vienna captures its visitors with history and art, say three Estonian women who all live in Vienna.

E

ve-Külli Kala who has been the Ambassador of Estonia in Vienna for two years notes: “Vienna is like a museum that is full of venerable history and great art. It’s fancy and fabulous, and sometimes snobbish, but thanks to the masters of the last century, still incredibly glamorous. The city practically sparkles and shines in the sun and enchants with its mystic architecture. Sometimes Vienna seems like a museum that has been closed for the night, cold and without a soul. Yet, no-one would like to live in a museum, but people certainly want to live in Vienna.”

Kadri Kallaste who has been living in the capital of Austria for the last six years and specialises in the research and preservation of historic wallpapers recommends simply to enjoy the city and not to run from one sight to another. “Compared to several other Central European capitals, the pace of life in Vienna is notably slower. Enjoyment is part of the local lifestyle.”

Ene Palmiste who works as a programme manager at the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights says that it is not a coincidence that Vienna is ranked as the best capital in the world for quality of life.

“The city’s policy is based on the principle that as many people as possible must have a good life.

People feel that their opinion matters, there are no homeless nor ghettos. You don’t have to make an extra effort to feel well. People are very friendly.

Life is pleasantly stress-free. When you come from

July / August 2012 in time

Estonia, there is a huge contrast.”

The preferences of Eve-Külli Kala include the Complex of Museums with its Leopold Museum that displays the best of Egon Schiele, one of her favourite artists. As for a walking route, the ambassador recommends 7th district that is a charming area with its Bohemian atmosphere, multiple small boutiques, art galleries and cosy cafés.

Another area worth visiting is the 1st district in the city centre around Burgtheater.

Eva-Külli’s residence is located next to the gardens of Schönbrunn and she likes to go jogging in the garden and rest in Café Gloriette. As the café is located somewhat above the rest of its surroundings, you can see the colour of the sky above the city and prepare for specific weather. The ambassador says Vienna is a moody city where whirlwinds, hot air blowing from African deserts and heat affect the mood of the townspeople.

Eva-Külli praises the programme of the Vienna National Opera and the top soloists and conductors from all over the world who perform in the city.

During intervals one can run across the street to the Sacher Café and enjoy the famous Sacher sausages.

“It’s fun to see how fancy ladies covered in diamonds and their companions have coffee and sausages.”

The house of the music society Musikverein hosts excellent concerts. One should definitely visit at least one ballroom dance event when in Vienna. During the year more than 100 different balls are held, most exquisite of them being those of the philharmonics and coffee masters. Note that men must wear a tail coat and ladies need to have a long evening gown.

laulab Londoni olümpial Samal ajal kui teised tüdrukud ihaldasid Barbie-nukke, unistas Tallinna tüdruk Ingrid Lukas sellest, kuidas ta ühel päeval võidab olümpiamängudel Eestile mitu medalit ujumises. Nüüd, aastaid hiljem osalebki Ingrid Lukas (27) Londoni olümpiamängudel. Muusikuna ja Eesti kultuuri tutvustajana. Tema kontsert kuulub olümpia kultuuriprogrammi ja enamik lugusid pärineb viimaselt sooloplaadilt „Silver Secrets“.

Kunagi oli mul eesmärk jõuda olümpiale ujujana. Mõnikord ei juhtu asjad sel moel ja ajal, kui soovid, vaid juhtuvad kuidagi teisiti, õigel ajal,“ mõtiskleb muusik.

Muusikakriitikud on nimetanud Ingrid Lukast Eesti kõige paremini hoitud riigisaladuseks. Tema loomingut on kirjeldatud kui muusikat, mis tuleb Eesti mullast, lendab läbi Norra virmaliste ja maandub Šveitsi mägiaasadel.

Ta kirjutab muusikat, mängib eri pille ja laulab. Tema muusikale paralleele otsides mainitakse Tori Amost, Björki, Regina Spektorit või Joanna Newsomi, ent Ingrid Lukase helilooja-käekiri eristub selgelt nagu tema variatsiooniküllane sügav hääletämbergi.

Mõistetav, sest Ingrid oli vaid 10-aastane, kui jättis klaveriõpingud Tallinna Muusikakeskkoolis ja kolis emaga Šveitsi. Andekast ja tahtejõulisest tüdrukust pidi saama maailmaklassi ujuja. 2000. aastal võttis neiu vastu elu kõige olulisema otsuse – pühenduda muusikale. 2007. aastal lõpetas ta Zürichi muusikaakadeemia jazzi- ja popmuusika eriala laulja ja muusikaõpetajana. Zürichis kohtus ta pianisti ja helilooja Nik Bärtschiga, kelle tõekspidamised ja muusika innustasid lauljatari leidma uusi võimalusi nii muusikas kui ka elus.

sikat annab välja mainekas ECM-i plaadifirma, on olnud Ingridile hea nõuandja.

Muusikuna naasis Ingrid Lukas Eestisse 2009. aastal tänu Anne Ermile, Baltimaade suurima jazzifestivali Jazzkaar korraldajale. Erm kohtas Willisau jazzifestivalil vabatahtlikuna töötavat eesti neiut juhuslikult ja alles hiljem tutvustas Ingrid talle oma muusikat. Järgnes kutse esineda Jazzkaarel.

Praegu on lauljataril Eestiga väga tihe muusikaline side. Kontserdid on alati välja müüdud nii Tallinnas kui ka väiksemates kohtades. Ka esimese kontserdi-DVD salvestas ta Tallinnas Niguliste kirikus. 13. sajandil ehitatud pühakoda tuntakse muusikaringkondades üle Euroopa kui suurepärase akustikaga kontserdipaika, kus on salvestatud muu hulgas palju Arvo Pärdi loomingut. „Mul on kaks kodu – Šveitsis ja Eestis,“ tunnistab lauljatar, kelle kõige armsamad omaette olemise kohad on Eesti saartel, metsades ja mere ääres.

Eneseleidmise rännud Ingrid on rändaja. Ta teab, et ei oskaks nautida all inclusive paketireisi hüvesid. „Mulle meeldib vabadus. Tavaelus on mul tihe ajagraafik, kohustused. Reisi õnnestumine ei ole seotud nähtud vaatamisväärsuste hulgaga. Minu jaoks on vabadus see, et lihtsalt kõnnin kuhugi. Viimati käisin niimoodi Viinis. Ootan väga septembrit ja sõitu New Yorki, mis on üks inspireerivamaid linnu minu jaoks.

Meeldib Islandil, Reykjavikis. Amsterdamis, Pariisis. Berliin on fantastiline eriti suvel,“ räägib muusik viimase aja reisielamustest.

Kuigi ta on esinenud Riias koguni 7500 inimesele, laulnud looduslikult maagilistes paikades ja tehnilise supervarustusega kontserdisaalides, peab ta seni kõige meeldejäävamaks ülesastumist Võru kultuurimajas Kannel. „Nutsin vist 3-4 laulu alguses. Mis juhtus, ei teagi. Mingid ürgsed jõud, meenus lapsepõlv, tekkis eriline armastus- ja tänutunne, mis pidi välja saama,“ ei häbene lauljatar tundeid kirjeldada.

Kommentaar:

Tiia Teder,Klassikaraadio peatoimetaja Ma ei tunne Ingrid Lukast, aga tema muusika kaudu oleksime nagu ammused sõbrad. Tema lauludes on nii palju ilusaid algeid, mida olen muusikas oodanud ja kuulanud. Mulle meeldib, kuidas ta kasutab eesti rahvalaule, ühelt poolt nagu unelev haldjas ja kullaketraja, teisalt šamaan, kes kasvatab väikesest runolaulust võimsa loo.

persoon Suurem osa Ingrid Lukase loomingust on eestikeelne, kuigi enamik tema muusika kuulajaist seda keelt ei mõista. „Inimestele meeldib, kui laulan eesti keeles. Küsitakse tekstide tõlkeid, öeldakse, et eesti keel on väga eksootiline ja ilus laulukeel. Kui laulaksin vaid inglise keeles, suruksin endas midagi väga olulist alla.“ Üha rohkem kohtab tema lauludes regilaulu elemente. Ingrid Lukas võib pikalt rääkida inspireerivast kohtumisest helilooja Veljo Tormisega, soovitustest, mida Tormis koos salvestiste, konspektide ja nootidega talle kaasa andis. Samavõrd innustub ta vanadest nootidest, mida on leidnud arhiividest. „Mulle meeldib regilaulu lihtsus, viisi kordumine.

Regilaulus on vana hing sees. Kui laulan, tunnetan eredalt Eesti juuri. Regilaul on osa minust ning püüan seda sulatada oma muusikasse.“ Oluliseks peab lauljatar koorikultuuri tutvustamist Šveitsis, kus tal on koguni kaks koori – Ingrid Lukas koor ja popjazzkoor. Esimese koori repertuaaris on nõudlikes seadetes tema enda muusika, teine on olemuselt vabam kollektiiv, kuhu soovitavad repertuaari ka teised lauljad. „Mida rohkem hingesid koos laulab ja musitseerib ning energiat ühte kohta suunab, seda võimsam on tulemus. Mõelge kas või Eesti laulupidudele, seletamatule tundele, mida kogevad nii lauljad kui ka publik. Energia ei tähenda ainult muusikat, vaid ka mõtteid,“ räägib Ingrid Lukas ja tunnistab, et kooriga tegelemine annab talle võimaluse olla mõtetes Eestiga tihedamalt seotud.

Kindlasti on maailmas inimesi, kes ütlevad, et iPod on nende jaoks üks olulisemaid kingitusi. Seda ütleb ka loo kangelanna. Küll on aga usutav, et tema iPodi sisu erineb oluliselt teistest.

Ingrid Lukase üheks läbi aegade lemmikplaadiks on Bugge Wesseltofti ja Sidsel Endreseni „Out Here, In There“. Praegu on tema lemmik hiphopi bänd The Roots. „Nende energia jõuab minuni isegi plaadilt. Kui selline energia tuleb sisse, paneb see su loominguliselt põlema.“ Sisemise põlemise ja pühendumisega teeb naine kõike, mis tundub põnev. Talle meeldib õppida kannelt, mängida trumme ja kalimba-laadseid pille. Ta võib hasardiga osaleda internetioksjonil, et hankida vana suur basstrumm.

Või seigelda vanakraamipoodides, et leida põnevaid, ent hüljatud pille, need parandada ja kontsertidel kasutada.

persoon versal Musicu Austria haru. Plaati ettevalmistanud meeskonda kuulusid üks mõjukamaid suunanäitajaid Euroopa jazzis pianist Bugge Wesseltoft Norrast ning Islandi muusik ja produtsent Valgeir Sigurdsson. Viimast teatakse eelkõige koostööst Björkiga. Lukasel on uus bänd ning ta kuulub Viinis baseeruva maineka Jazzbrain Music Managementi artistide hulka.

Kui paljud noored muusikud ainult unistavad, mis kõik võiks juhtuda ja kellega võiks koos töötada, siis Ingrid Lukas haaras ise härjal sarvist ja tegi ettepanekuid. „Teadsin, kuidas soovin edasi liikuda. Bugge puhul inspireerib mind tema muusika, atmosfäär, mida ta kontserdil suudab tekitada. Saan sellest positiivset energiat. Valgeir oskab luua imelisi helikõlasid. Tema kui toonmeister on ka kunstnik, kes maalib oma vahenditega ja paneb muusikale, mis on justkui paljas keha, helikõladest kleidi peale,“ kiidab Ingrid Lukas lähemaid muusikalisi nõuandjaid.

Kuidas nii võimsas masinavärgis nagu Universal Music vastu pidada? „Universal on muidugi suur, aga mitte hirmutav,“ kinnitab laulja. Süsteem on keerukas ja protsessid aeglased. Muusik annab endale aru, et on sel alal algaja, peab jälgima ja õppima. „Äris tuleb emotsioonid koju jätta. Kindlasti peab olema plaadifirmaga suheldes ise aktiivne ja leidma hea strateegia, kuidas oleks mõlemale poolele kasulik. Olen väga õnnelik, et mu kõrval on usaldusväärsed partnerid nagu ka mänedžer Ellen Schörner.“ Ingrid Lukase sõnul on tema mänedžer loomult tugev naine, otsekohene ja kui vaja, ka kriitik. „Ellen teab asjadest, millest mina ei tea. Tänu talle saan põhjalikuma ülevaate muusikaärist ja iseendast. Kui soovin, et mu muusika jõuaks võimalikult paljude inimesteni, pean aru saama, mille sees olen, mis on muusikaäris reaalne.

Ka uue bändita poleks ta jõudnud taolise eduni. Kokku on saanud viis sõpra ja mõttekaaslast. „Õige bändi leidmine on sama nagu muusikalise keele leidmine. Ma ei jõudnud selleni kergelt. Meil on nn working band, mis tähendab palju proove, palju suhtlemist. Peame tähtsaks leida oma helikõla, mis tuleb alles aastatega. Esinemiste, tuuritamise, koos lõbutsemisega – vaid nii jõuame oma kõlani.“ Ingrid Lukas tunnistab, et olümpial võivad talle meeleliigutuspisarad silma tulla, kui ta kedagi võitmas näeb. „Tunnetan pingutust. Tunnetan võiduhetke kui inimese tipphetke. Kuna olen tõsiselt sporti teinud, siis tean, et ühe hetke nimel tuleb mitu aastat vaeva näha. Kõik peab olema ajastatud, vorm ja jõud, ja selle peab suutma suunata paari minuti sisse. Seesama energia, mida tunnetan laval muusikuna.“

While other girls were dreaming about Barbie dolls, Ingrid Lukas from Tallinn was imagining how she would win several Olympic medals for Estonia in swimming.

And now the 27-year-old Ingrid really will soon be attending London Olympics.

But as a musician and envoy of Estonian culture. Her concert is part of the Olympic culture programme and most songs are from her latest solo album „Silver Secrets.”

O

n August 10, the Ingrid Lukas Band will be performing in the Swiss House in London. „To perform in London at the Olympics when the whole world is watching! To be in the same place with the world’s best athletes! I used to dream about becoming an Olympic swimmer, but looks like sometimes things don’t happen the way you expect them to or at the time you expect them to,” says the musician.

Music critics have said that Ingrid Lukas is Estonia’s best-kept secret. It has been said that her music takes off from the Estonian soil, flies through Norway’s polar lights and lands on Swiss highland pastures.

She writes music, plays different instruments and sings. It is said that her music resembles that of Tori Amos, Björk, Regina Spektor or Joanna Newsom, but her deep voice and her compositions are distinct. In music stores her recordings may be found under jazz, pop or even folk. Her unique music brightens up small churches and huge concert halls filled with thousands of music fans. A few months ago she performed in Vossa Jazz, one of Norway’s most famous jazz festivals, where a sold-out audience simply did not want to let her leave.

Back to Estonia as a musician Ingrid Lukas was relatively unknown in Estonia until only a few years ago. This is understandable

since she was only 10 when she left her piano studies in Tallinn Music School and moved to Switzerland with her mother. A talented and determined girl was to become a world-class swimmer. But in 2000 the young girl made a life-changing decision to dedicate herself to music.

In 2007 she graduated from the Zurich Music Academy as a jazz and pop singer and music teacher. In Zurich she met Nik Bärtsch, a pianist and a composer, whose approach and works inspired Ingrid to find new opportunities in both music and life. Bärtsch, who is very well known in the world of jazz and whose music is released by the famous ECM has been a great inspiration for Ingrid.

A five-minute walk away, at Skólavörðustíg 21a, is the restaurant Noodle Station. When I visited it for the first time, my table was accidentally next to Jons, the singer of Sigur Ros. www.12tonar.is, www.visitreykjavik.is

Austria, Vienna. At Silbergasse 7, „Mongi’s Greisslerei“ cosy deli and restaurant n

offers the best Italian ham in Vienna. Customers are served by the owner monsieur Mongi himself, who is offering cheese selection, truffle salami, olive oils, good wines and delicious antipasti.

Grenada, St. Georges. There are two ways to get to this Caribbean island with its n

transparent waters and trees full of bananas and oranges: by plane or by boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Take a boat to the Le Phare Bleu port, and dine and spend a night there. I discovered this small paradise on New Year’s Eve 2009/2010 when they asked me to give a concert. www.lepharebleu.com

Estonia, islands of Saaremaa, Vahase and Abruka. If you are searching for a comn bination of silence, sea and primeval wildlife, visit the islands of Abruka and Vahase. No regular ferry connection, but captain Hillar Lipp will take you there. You can spend the night at Västriku guesthouse in Nasva village. The trip and stories of the charming captain are inspiring. www.saaremaa.ee/vastriku/

Switzerland, Stein. I recommend a 5.5-hour walking tour of the Alps (14 km in n

length, elevation of 925 m). The path starts in Stein and ends in Amden. From above, you can marvel the peaks of Mattstock, Glärnisch and Mürtenstock.

New York, Williamsburg. 88 N 11th St (between Berry & White Avenue) is one of the n largest and coolest second-hand clothing stores. I have bought a few of my performance dresses from there.

Switzerland, Luzern. Host of the Blue Balls festival on July 20-28, 2012. I have lisn

tened to Antony and The Johnsons and Jamie Lidell there. My recommendation for this year is a concert by Regina Spektor. Visit the town of Luzern and dine at Restaurant Parterre at Mythenstrasse 7. www.luzern.com, www.parterre.ch, www.blueballs.ch

As a musician, Ingrid Lukas returned to Estonia in 2009 thanks to Anne Erm who organizes Jazzkaar, the biggest jazz festival in the Baltics. Erm by accident met Ingrid who was working as a volunteer in the Willisau Jazz Festival and heard her music only later. The invitation to perform at Jazz-

kaar followed shortly.

The singer has very close musical connection to Estonia. Her concerts in Tallinn or anywhere else are always sold out. Her first concert CD was recorded in Tallinn, in the St. Nicholas Church.

Musicians all over Europe know that this 13th century church has excellent acoustics. Arvo Pärt likes to record his works in this church. „I have two homes, in Switzerland and in Estonia,“ says the singer who loves to retreat to the Estonian islands, to the forest and the sea.

Soul-searching Ingrid is a traveller. She knows that she could not enjoy the benefits of an all-inclusive package tour. “I like freedom. In my regular life I have a tight schedule and many obligations. A good trip does not depend on how many sights I see. For me freedom is to walk around. The last time I did it was in Vienna. I very much look forward to September and my trip to New York that for me is one of the world’s most inspiring cities. I like it in Iceland in Reykjavík, but also in Amsterdam and Paris. Berlin in the summer is fantastic,“ says the musician listing her latest travel experiences.

Despite having performed to as many as 7,500 people in Riga, in nature’s own stages and in concert halls equipped with state-of-the-art technology, she says that her most memorable performance was in the local community hall of Võru. “I cried at the start of 3 or 4 songs. I don’t know what happened. Some deep forces, childhood memories, a special feeling of love and gratitude that had to be released, I guess,” says the singer who is not ashamed to show feelings.

Most of her works are in Estonian, although most of the audience does not understand it. “People like it when I sing in Estonian. They ask me for the lyrics and say that the Estonian language is very exotic and beautiful to sing. If I sang only in English, I would have to suppress something very important inside me.”

Musical folk poems are playing an increasing role in her songs. Ingrid Lukas can talk for hours about her inspiring meetings with composer Veljo Tormis and the recommendations he has given her together with recordings, texts and sheet music. She is equally interested in old music that she has found from archives. “I like the simplicity of runic songs and their repeat-

in time July / August 2012

person ing melody. They have an old spirit. When I sing these songs, I can clearly feel my Estonian roots.

Runic songs are a part of me and I try to embed it into my music.”

The singer considers it important to promote choir singing in Switzerland where she is conducting two choirs – the Ingrid Lukas choir and the pop-jazz choir. The demanding repertoire of the former consists of Ingrid’s own works, while the other is creatively freer with other singers also recommending music. „The more people are singing, making music and channelling energy together the more powerful the outcome is. Think of the Estonian song festivals and of this indescribable feeling that the singers and audience both feel. Energy is not only music, but also thoughts,” says Ingrid and admits that working with the choir enables her to be closely linked to Estonia.

Many people say that their iPod is who they are. Ingrid agrees. But the contents of her iPod is definitely very unique. For Ingrid, one of her most favourite albums of all time is „Out Here, In There“ by Bugge Wesseltoft and Sidsel Endresen.

Right now she is a fan of the hip-hop band The Roots. „I am charged by the energy of their album.

It makes me burn with creativity.”

Everything that she finds exciting she does with passion and dedication. She likes to study Estonian zither, play drums and kalimba-like instruments. She can bid aggressively at a web auction for an old large base drum or go shopping in antique stores in search of exciting venerable instruments so that they could be repaired and used in concerts.

Music business needs study Ingrid’s second solo album “Silver Secrets” was released by the Austrian affiliate of Universal Music. The team that prepared the album included the piano player Bugge Wesseltoft from Norway who is one of the biggest names in the European jazz and Icelandic music and the producer Valgeir Sigurdsson. The latter has become famous for his cooperation with Björk. Lukas has a new band and she is one of the prominent artists of Jazzbrain Music Management based in Vienna.

While many young musicians only dream about what could happen and who they could work with, Ingrid Lukas grabbed the initiative and

July / August 2012 in time

approached the right people herself. “I knew what I wanted my next step to be. As for Bugge, I am inspired by his music and the ambience that he creates at his concerts. It gives me positive energy.

Valgeir produces marvellous sound combinations.

He is a tone-master who is also an artist painting with his tools and covering the naked body of music with clothes of sound,” says Ingrid about her closest music advisers.

How can one survive in such a huge corporation like Universal Music? “Sure, Universal is big, but not scary,” says the singer. The system is complicated and processes are slow. The musician understands that she is only a beginner and has a lot to look and learn.

“In business you need to put your emotions aside. You need to be active when you communicate with the record company and find a strategy that is beneficial for both partners. I am very happy that I have trusted partners by my side and my manager Ellen Schörner.”

Ingrid says that her manager is a woman with a will of steel who can be direct and, if necessary, critical. “Ellen knows about things that I don’t.

Thanks to her I can get a more in-depth overview of the music business and myself. If I want my music to reach as many people as possible, I need to understand my situation and see what is realistic. It would be wrong to imagine that I only make music and they do the rest”, says the young woman about the common misconception on how to become a successful musician.

Also her new band has played an important role in getting her where she wanted to go. It’s a group of five friends who think alike. “Finding the right band is like finding a musical language. It was not simple. We have a so-called working band which means many rehearsals and a lot of communication. For us it is important to find the right sound and it may take years. Concerts, tours and having fun – this is the way to our own sound.”

Ingrid Lukas admits that she could become very emotional when she sees someone win at the Olympics. „I can feel the effort. For me, the moment of victory is a human pinnacle. I have been involved in big sports and know how many years one works for just this moment. Everything – form and power - must be well timed, and has to be released in a matter of minutes. This is the energy that I feel on stage as a musician.“

Comment:

Tiia Teder,

Editor-in-chief of Klassikaraadio I don’t know Ingrid Lukas personally, but we are like old friends through her music. Her songs have so many beautiful things that I have searched for and found in music. I like the way she uses Estonian folk songs as if she was a dreaming fairy, but also as a shaman who turns a small folk song into a powerful story.

Estonian Beer and Its Many Tastes

Before 1991, beer was in scarce supply in Estonia and available in kiosks known as Green Frogs. Then, foreign businessmen acquired local breweries and started to produce Western beer that was available only for hard currency.

When capitalism arrived to Estonia, breweries started to launch one special brew after another. The era of live beer causing digestion problems to foreign tourists had come to an end.

Since then brewing has skyrocketed and the market is dominated by two large producers: Saku (Carlsberg) and A. Le Coq (Olvi-Finland), one based near Tallinn and the other in Tartu. The remaining ten percent of the market is divided

between Viru Õlu from H.F. Puls owned by Denmark’s Harboe, Sillamäe Brewery that has a staff of 8, and Karksi that is now half-owned by A. Le Coq. Also local breweries have become much more active. Now that two out of three Estonian women are baking their own bread, domestic brewing is also picking up. „Traditional Estonian beer is a myth, it has never existed.

From Zhiguli to Moscow Although beer has been brewed in Estonia for hundreds of years, it was made mainly for weddings plus four times a year for Christmas, Whitsun, Midsummer and Michaelmas Day. Farmers knew how to brew their own beer as late as in 1940s, but kolkhoz movement killed not only their farms, but also the business of harvesting hop, beer barley and rye as well as personal beer kitchens.

During the Soviet deficit era, it was normal for people to brew their own beer from maltose that was sold in stores. People used 50 or 100-litre kegs and drank it during weddings, birthdays, Midsummer Eve or kolkhoz parties. “Of course, beer that was of better quality

tral European, ie German-Czech beer tradition, and the Finnish-Scandinavian light beer that contains almost no hops. The former is now taking over the latter,� says Andres Sepp from the Estonian Society of Beer History. Although traditional British beers such as ale and stout beers are similar to our domestic beer, they have not caught up in Estonia yet.

than modern lager was brewed also in the Soviet Union. The question was where was it available,” says Sepp. “High-quality brands that had to comply with Soviet or local standard were, for instance Tartu, Saku, Moscow, Porter, Leningrad, etc. that were mainly created at the start of 1960s. At that time quantity and meeting production plan ruled over quality and the most typical beer was called “Zhiguli”. It’s produced as a nostalgic brand also today. Alcohol at parties was banned in 1985 with Mikhail Gorbachev’s sobriety campaign.

Brewing revolution In Estonian breweries all beer brands were brewed separately, but in mid-1990s they switched to the so-called high-gravity brewing technology that was introduced by foreign investors. “For the sake of energy saving and reasonable use of storage capacity, breweries started to brew strong concentrates that were later diluted into beer brands,” explains Sepp. In the rest of the world this had happened when alcohol-resistant yeast cells were developed.

Breweries soon started to produce also alcohol-free products such as juices and lemonades.

The brewing revolution caused the arrival of beer brands with up to 12.5% of alcohol content because it had become technically possible. Over the time, taste of most beverages also became fairly similar. Now the alcohol content is again falling and bottles and glasses are getting smaller.

Home brewing has always been linked to the production price of beer, i.e. the national taxation issue. No country has every managed to ban home brewing because a compromise is always the better solution.

“Brewing home beer from maltose was popular already in 1930s,” says Sepp. “National alcohol policy was to tax factory beer with alcohol content of up to 4% very highly which reduced its annual consumption to less than five litres per person.

But Estonians always find a way and the history will probably repeat itself.”

Sepp says that today people are more interested in taste than in saving which is why home brewing is becoming more important. “Me and many of my friends have been brewing our own beer for years,” he says. “Many beer brands sold in Estonia have only two local components: water and employees.”

Estonian Society of Beer History An NGO founded in 1999 n Not owned by any beverage n

maker, unites independent people from Tartu and Tallinn.

The society records the n history of beer industry and provides advice, without preferring any specific brewer or product.

The organization also n assists people in Estonia and abroad collecting to collect information and cooperates with museums, researchers, etc.

Sommelier Kristjan Peäske: Beer Can Be Enjoyed As Much As Wine to local pubs and restaurants. We hope that after these training events the bar staff have the right attitude towards beer and can serve it properly.

We serve beer with different foods so that one can get a sense of harmony of tastes. We try to break the myth that beer only goes with certain foods.

When you try a new taste you get the experience and knowledge of matching tastes.

Kristjan Peäske

Is froth the secret to the art of serving beer?

It’s a crime to serve beer at wrong temperature and without froth. Froth makes beer fresh. First of all, frothy beer looks good and secondly – froth has taste, so it is not only about serving. Normally, we let customers taste two beers that are poured simultaneously: one with froth and the other without.

Kristjan Peäske, Estonia’s first internationally recognised beer sommelier and recent Estonia’s No. 1 sommelier made an interesting test in his restaurant Leib, Resto ja Aed. He offered guests wine and beer to go with a three-course meal and asked them to assess which was better. Beer won.

Peäske, who will shortly travel to Tokyo to represent Estonia in an international competition of sommeliers, says people are realising that price is not the only factor.

What did the wine and beer competition look like?

We organised a dinner in a way that the menu was the same, but one had to choose either beer or wine to go with the meal and then assess which one was better. What was surprising was that beer was said to offer a similar emotion as wine. This was surprising since few expect beer to complement the food as strongly as wine.

You have trained more than 600 people in Estonia to match beer with food.

We organised beer tastings together with A. Le Coq and provided serving and food training

Which tastes have you suited to beer?

The so-called pilsner beers are very good with sushi, since sushi is dipped into sour soy sauce.

BBQ goes well with light lager or the dark Tõmmu Hiid by A. Le Coq that creates a very special taste experiences. Light beer offers a fresh experience, and dark beer gives a stronger caramel taste.

Exciting beers are raspberry beers from Belgium that are brewed with wild yeast and are excellent with chocolate cake, as are chocolate or regular porters.

Are Western methods making all Estonian beer taste similar?

In 1990s, Estonian beer had sediment and you could not drink it after three days. Today, the quality of beers made in Estonia is guaranteed by modern filtering technology. This is not always good, but it gives beer a stable quality. People like tasteless beers, but this is why they need to be trained with different tastes. There was a time when the less the drink had taste the better it was considered. It should be vice versa for beers.

Estonians like weak tasting beer. Our producers cannot fight the trend. But there are more and more people who prefer beer with more taste and

in time July / August 2012

character. Every restaurant is offering niche beers. Beer Star tries to promote new thinking. I am sure we will see more exciting beers on the Estonian market soon.

It seems that beer glasses are getting smaller and beer is becoming lighter?

If you just want to drink then it’s OK to have large glasses of light beer. But if you want to enjoy specific beer taste, it cannot be light. If a glass is small, you’ll pour several times and get froth several times. We use a lot of glasses in different shapes. We use a beer glass only for offering classic light beer. All dark beers are served from Burgundy wine glasses that allow the full taste of beer to come out.

Will the domestic, original and smooth beer become fashionable?

I think that beer is already being talked about as much as wine. We have loyal customers who always order Tõmmu Hiid. Tastes and preferences differ, but people are open to innovation and new tastes. While before people used to simply order draft, they now want to test new products.

There will be no Õlletoober or domestic beer festival in Saaremaa this year. What is your opinion of domestic beer?

Domestic brewing is a great tradition. I hope that this trend will catch on. There are not many people left who themselves prepare malt, roast it, grow hops and brew their own beer. Not many want to go through the trouble. As a hobby, brewing is very acceptable.

Arvet Väli – the Only Seller of Estonian Farmhouse Beer The strength of Saaremaa beer is legendary and makes many men weak in their knees. Some of them cannot even finish one glass „No-one can withstand two mugs of beer in short succession,“ says Arvet Väli who has been brewing beer in Pihtla in Saaremaa for 21 years. The strength and taste of beer are always interconnected and Arvet’s beer’s alcohol content is more than seven percent. „This beer cannot be consumed when thirsty.

You need to taste it, to have a mug or two for the Arvet Väli

evening, but not more,” he says. Traditionally in Estonia, a wooden carved beermug was being handed around and everybody took a sip.

Väli says that his beer is so strong due to expensive and pure grain and he doesn’t use sugar, which explains the relatively high price. But there is a big difference with stronger factory beers that are sold in 1.5-litre plastic bottles in technology, taste and quality.

Although there are about 100 locals in Saaremaa who brew their own beer, Väli is the only one to market it. Also the only official brewer in the neighbouring island of Hiiumaa has folded up.

Fortunately, Väli had the guts to wait until the changes in the alcohol excise duty law enter into force and secured an exemption from the tax and customs authority. Hopefully this will open the market also for other unique beers.

Farmhouse beer is live yeast beer „I don’t think that men like me would become a problem for large producers,” says Väli, adding that small production means more expensive unit price. „Twenty producers like me who make up to 40 tons of beer a year is about 0.3 percent of the Estonian beer market,” he says.

Starting from this year, this brewer from Saaremaa needs not pay the high fee for laboratory services (and there is no-one to offer it on the island!) or pay a deposit for stocked alcohol on similar terms with large scale producers. He could not afford it with his 12,000 litres a year.

Pihtla beer is transported to the mainland in kegs and is available in fairs where people can also taste typical Saaremaa sweet bread. „I ship about 100 litres of beer to beer enthusiasts every week,” says Väli. In Saaremaa, Pihtla beer is available in beer restaurant Veski, Grand Rose SPA, Panga cliff, Angla and Kaali. Unfortunately, sales are good only in summertime when demand is bigger than supply, and there is a quiet period for at least six months. Now, two bars in Tallinn Old Town are also stocking Väli’s beer: Põrgu (Hell) near St.

Nicholas Church and Vaimu street bar that opens in evenings only. „I had no plans to take my beer to the mainland,” says Väli. „I don’t want to have my beer on sale in every railway station, but otherwise I would have had to hibernate during winters.“ He says that there is interest towards his beer also elsewhere, but the question is storage. „Normally you put a keg in the corner and it stands there for a month. Farmhouse beer is live yeast-based beer and contains good bacteria. You cannot preserve it for more than a week or two at room temperature,“ says the brewer. „Although it preserves longer in cool conditions“.

Sweet and soft, with the colour of orange juice „I would not call it domestic beer, but farmhouse beer,” says Väli who has won several prizes in traditional local festivals of domestic beers.

Anyone can brew at home from maltose, but his brewing technology dates back to his forefathers and is much more complicated. „Saaremaa beer has the colour of light orange juice,” he says. „I don’t use caramel malt. They say that my beer tastes soft, sweet, banana-like. I

don’t use a lot of hop so my beer is not bitter and is clear,“ says Väli. The registered alcohol content of his beer is 7.6%. „It seems strong at first, but it is nothing compared to wine,” laughs Väli, adding that the beer is strong enough to keep the party going.

Väli started to brew by chance. He graduated from the Tallinn University of Technology in engineering, then worked in the local building company and finally became the CEO of Varma brewery before it was closed. Looking for new opportunities, he started to test brewing. Now he is the only one who cooks his beer.

In the wintertime he brews once a month, but in the summer it’s a weekly operation. He produces 800 litres in one go and stores it in two tanks.

He has four 500-litre tanks in his cellar.

For years a traditional beer festival Õlletoober was held in Saaremaa, but its organizer went bankrupt last year because of bad weather. Väli was a traditional vendor in this event and did well in various competitions. “Let’s see if Saaremaa Sangad, the local beer club, will organise anything this summer,” says Väli. In earlier years he has also been a beer competition jury because very few have a 21-year experience in brewing.

Eesti oma suurtööstus Estonian own heavy industry

Discover Virumaa!

Viru Keemia Grupp AS (VKG) operates in East and WestViru Counties or Virumaa, which is the most unique and controversial region in Estonia. The characteristic industrial landscape, Soviet architecture, varied shoreline, including the coastal cliffs that are under UNESCO protection (World Heritage), and a part of the biggest lake in Europe – all these make up our beautiful Virumaa. Estonians have started to discover this interesting region only lately. But foreign tourists come here still only in isolated instances and individually, not in groups.

Virumaa is an unexpected place but rich as regards the nature and people. It is ideal for those who want to look around in places with no established tourism infrastructure. At the same time, it is ideal for creative people who are looking for inspiration to paint, take pictures or make films.

VKG with its local partners is constantly contributing to the development and prosperity of Virumaa by inviting talented creative persons here – artists, photographers, filmmakers, etc. These initiatives have resulted in excellent cooperation with Evelin Ilves, wife of Toomas Hendrik Ilves, President of Estonia, Tiina Lokk, founder and manager of the PÖFF film festival, Kaupo Kikkas, a photographer and photography teacher, and many others.

The ‘Ilus oled, Virumaa!’ [You are beautiful, Virumaa!] photography competition is taking place for the second time. As a result, it provides an opportunity to visit Virumaa through the photo gallery that is made of pictures taken by locals and visitors. For more information see www.vkgsoojus.ee/konkurss

The third Kaljo Kiisk grant for a young filmmaker will be awarded this autumn. For more information see www.vkg.ee/kaljokiisk Virumaa is interesting with its unexpected scenery and rich wildlife. The best views of the region, accompanied by unforgettable Dagö, can be enjoyed here: www.vkg.ee/virumaa Discover Virumaa!

‘Virumaa is like a constructed world where nothing refers to a specific time or place. It is so varied in its form and style that, within a 100-kilometre radius, you can find factory architecture, old city forms, a resort, traditional Estonian farms and an onion village of Russian Old Believers. It has a sea on one side, a lake on the other and a river crosses it as well. Nowhere else in Estonia is there such a luxury.’

Little Italy Near Tabasalu Text: Tanel Unt

Ah, summer – the time for family vacation! It’s awfully fun to cruise the countryside with kids and grandmother in tow until you come to the question of where to eat lunch. White linen and quiet atmosphere of city restaurants seems unsuitable and they're so far from the beach. Yet you'd prefer some good food and delicate wines over French fries and grilled sausage.

Meet Lucca, a restaurant where Italian family

lunch is understood better than anywhere. Just outside Tallinn, on the way to the beautiful Baltic Sea beach, its large dining room and beautiful outdoors terrace welcome you every day of the week, but what it’s perfect for is family lunch. Children have their own play area and special healthy menu while parents can enjoy the traditional Italian cuisine.

Chef Tarmo Mölder knows how to make local ingredients taste like fresh out of Tuscany and wine selection is made by the owners themselves, showing their love towards Italy and memories from the many trips they've made there.

You have to try their version of Vitello Tonnato from veal tongue, a delightful combination of taste and texture. Light eaters can pick from several fish and vegetarian dishes while meat lovers’ choices are topped by a massive T-bone steak a la Firenze, cut and delivered especially for Lucca by a local butcher. Connoisseurs of exotic tastes can try the duck breast cooked Old Roman style and, of course, there are freshly made pastas and pizza on the menu. For dessert you have to go for the classic Cantuccini e Vin Santo – almond cookies that you soak in sweet "holy wine".

Whether you're looking for place to have a Sunday family lunch, private dinner or want to celebrate a birthday, come over and enjoy the warm spirit of Italian hospitality. Bring friends and family because that’s what summer is all about – spending time in good company over good food and wine.

A Hidden Pearl Near the Airport

The restaurant scene in Tallinn has

really exploded this year with many new places opening and old favorites trying hard to prove they still got it. During summer months the Old Town is filled with explorers and tourists from all over the world and restaurants follow with equally diverse offerings.

All this is great but sometimes makes you wonder where are the locals. They must have their own favorites hidden in the quieter corners of the town.

Restaurant Fahle is one of them. A family business with a humble beginning has now expanded into a full scale restaurant with a mission to offer an easy, elegant and beautiful dining experience for locals and tourists alike. Chef de Cuisine Marelle Lehter and her team have developed a unique approach to European kitchen, marrying local delicacies and Nordic influenced cuisine

with artful, stylish presentations. Make sure you bring a healthy appetite and a camera for some nice blog pictures.

Wonders won't stop there though. Take a bite and you'll find that beauty also tastes good. Fahle has a lot to offer but you need to try their homemade smoked salmon which has been a favorite since the beginning, the tender perch fillet and smoked pork. Every dessert is literally a piece of art. Don’t forget to try the truffles that are made also on spot. Their seasonal menu changes often and always features some of the best tastes from Estonia and abroad.

Fahle is built to occupy the ground floor of

a century-old factory building with plenty of space which means some niceties that the Old Town restaurants find hard to match. For cigar lovers there's a special cigar room – something you don't see often since Estonia introduced indoors smoking ban in bars and restaurants. Wine library room offers great opportunities to hold meetings or private parties in secluded atmosphere.

The best part of it all is how easy it is to visit.

Situated between the airport and city centre, it is perfect to have a good dinner before catching a flight back home or a perfect first experience when arriving. No need to be wary of tourist hordes or book long in advance.

Give it a try. No hard decisions needed, no careful planning required, Fahle is waiting for you.

Kokteil + kleit =?

Kokteilikleit on koketne liitsõna, milles Cocktail dress is a coquettish compound

mood kohtub elunautimisega. Traditsiooniliselt on sellega tähistatud riidekoodi poolformaalseteks juhtudeks: suvisteks vastuvõttudeks, esitlusteks ja avamisteks. Kokteilikleidiga saab kaasa annuse vabadust – kui õhtukleit sunnib rühi sirgeks ja kõnepruugi aupaklikuks, siis kokteilidega on lubatud palju enam, uljamad tantsusammud või põiked põõsastikku on rohkem kui lubatud.

Kokteilikleitide hiilgeaeg jääb möödunud sajandi keskele, kui üha domineerivamaks sai pintsakus ärimeeste klass. Pärast tööd toimuvatel vabavormilisematel kohtumistel sobiski nende parimaks saatjaks kokteilikleidis daam. Algselt nimetati seda stiili ka hilise pärastlõuna kleidiks ja termini „kokteilikleit“ võttis esmakordselt kasutusele Christian Dior hilistel 1940-ndatel.

word where fashion meets joy of life. Its traditional meaning is a woman’s dress worn in semi-formal or black-tie occasions such as summer receptions, presentations and ribbon-cutting events.

Unlike a formal evening gown which imposes a straight posture and proper speaking manners, a cocktail gown gives the wearer a sense of freedom, allowing daring moves on the dance floor or digressions into nearby bushes.

The heyday of cocktail dresses was in the middle of the 20th century when business jackets started to mingle with cocktail dresses in evening functions. Initially, these dresses were known as “late afternoon dresses” and the first to coin the term cocktail gown was Christian Dior in late 1940s.

Teine kokteilikleidi määratlus oli tantsukostüüm – kui seni oli ballidel end kramplikult mööda põrandaid sahistatud, siis 1950-ndad tõid tantsupõrandale kerged svingivad noodid. Algselt oli väga rangelt paika pandud sellise kleidi pikkus (Christian Dior armastas seda isegi joonlauaga demonstreerida), aga 1980-ndatel sai vormist olulisemaks stiil, mis pidi olema luksuslik ja pidulik. See oli ka aeg, kui kokteilid muutusid kangemaks, näiteks rallis klubijookide tipus Long Island Ice Tea, mis tähendab ju lihtsalt kõigi kangete valgete alkoholide segu. Pole siis ime, et sellele järgnes 1990-ndatel tugev pohmell ja kokteilikleidid pagendati kapinurka kui piinliku priiskamiskümnendi igand.

Praegune kõikelubatavus võimaldab disaineritel mõtestada kokteilikleite värske nurga alt – möllata värvide ja mustritega, miksida siidi lateksiga. Siin on valik Eesti tippdisainerite kokteilikleite 2012. aasta kevadsuvisest kollektsioonist koos kergete kokteilidega.

The second definition of a cocktail dress is a dancing costume. Until then dancing had been mainly limited to balls and other white tie affairs, featuring ball gowns, but then the 1950s brought swing to the dance floors. At first such gowns had very strict length (famous couturier Christian Dior even had a ruler for this), but the 1980s showed that luxurious and festive style had become more important than form. At the same time, cocktails became stronger as a club drink, as manifested by Long Island Ice Tea that essentially is a mix of all strong white alcohols. No wonder then that it was followed by a strong hangover in the 1990s and cocktail gowns were hidden in closets as reminders of an embarrassing decade of lavishness.

The new era allows designers to approach cocktail gowns under a different angle, going crazy with colours and patterns, and mixing silk with latex.

Below is a selection of cocktail gowns from the 2012 spring and summer collections of top Estonian designers, with some light cocktail recipes. in time July / August 2012

• 400 g maitsestamata jogurtit • 0,5 l rammusat koorejäätist • 200 g mustikaid Suvel on alati midagi küpsemas – olgu siis kodupeenral või metsas – ning oleks patt jätta seda vaid tigudele ja karudele nosimiseks. Kuna looduses veedetud tervisest pakatavad korilustunnid ei sobi kuidagi kokku alkoholiga, siis ongi minu suvine lemmikkokteil täiesti alkoholivaba.

Kokteilikleidid, mida selleks suveks olen valmistanud, on samasugused kerged, õhulised ja lendlevad nagu see jahutav kokteilgi. Ja nii nagu mulle meeldib kokteili teha vaid päris asjadest, eelistan kvaliteetseid pärismaterjale ka moeloomingus – siidšifoon ja satiin hellitavad nahka nagu õhtuse päikese kiired.

• 400 g unflavoured yoghurt • 0.5 l cream ice cream • 200 g blueberries There is always something ripening in the summer, either in the garden or the forest, and it would be a pity to leave it all for snails or bears. Since picking berries in the nature and alcohol do not mix, my favourite summertime cocktail is entirely alcohol-free.

Cocktail dresses that I have prepared for this summer are as airy, light and “volatile” as this cooling drink. I make my cocktails from natural ingredients and when I design dresses I use real materials including silk chiffon and satin that are as smooth as the setting sun.

As for a dress, I suggest a fancy glistening champagne-coloured dress from the Ivo Nikkolo collection. Mimosa is an excellent welcome drink at weddings, and this dress would be perfect for a summer wedding party.

Ja nõnda nagu suvised kokteilid peaksid olema kerged, õhulised ja jahutavad, olgu ka kleidid.

roidi supertelefone, siis pole vist ime, et selle uus versioon Samsung Galaxy S3 on uus Androidi maailma valitseja. Ülisuur ja terav 4,8-tolline ekraan ning 720 x 1280 pikslise eraldusvõimega Super AMOLEDekraan on näitajad, millele suudavad vääriliselt vastata väga vähesed. HD-eraldusvõime tähendab põhimõtteliselt seda, et pisikesele ekraanile mahub niisama palju sisu kui teie kodus olevale suurele HD-telerile.

Et sellist ekraani sujuvalt liigutada, on telefonis ülivõimas neljatuumaline 1,4 GHz protsessor, 1 GB muutmälu ja 2100 mAh aku, mis peab tagama, et energianäljas ekraan ja protsessor telefoni liiga kiiresti tühjaks ei imeks. Lisaks 64 GB mälukaarditoele on telefoni sisse ehitatud 32 GB mälu, mis peaks olema enam kui piisav. Android 4.0 ja TouchWiz kasutajaliidesega Samsung Galaxy S3 on müügil alates juunist, hind 600 euro ringis.

olevat? Tegelikult võib just see pisike ja odav, kõigest 70 eurot maksev karp muuta seda, kuidas me arvutitega järgmistel aastatel suhtlema hakkame. Nimelt suudab arvuti ette paigutatud Leap Motioni andur jälgida ülitäpselt kõike, mis arvuti ees toimub. Suutes jälgida iga sõrmeotsa, tähendab, et võite kümne sõrmega korraga arvutit juhtida ja kõik toimub kolmemõõtmeliselt. Lihtsa käeviipega saab programme juhtida, neid avada ja sulgeda või hoopiski kahe sõrmega suumida ehk teha kõike, milleks varem olete hiirt, klaviatuuri või puutetundlikku ekraani kasutanud.

Samsung Did It Again! n Since Galaxy S2 was a long-time king of Android superphones, it is perhaps not a miracle that its new version Samsung Galaxy S3 is a new king of the Android world. Extremely big and bright 4.8-inch display and a Super AMOLED screen at 720x1280 pixel resolution are benchmarks that very few can compete with. HD quality means that a small screen can display as much as the large HD TV screen that you have at home.

It weighs only 1.3 kg. Thin does not mean a compromise in performance: inside the X1 Carbon is Ivy Bridge which is the latest and fastest chipset. 3G Internet access is standard and the backlit keyboard is spill-resistant.

With the rapid-charge, its battery reaches 80% after only half an hour of charging. X1 Carbon goes on sale in the summer and is believed to cost 1000 euros.

Samsung lööb hinnaga Kui Nokia valitseb nüüd oma Lumia sarn ja nutitelefoniga Windows Phone 7 platvormi, ei tähenda see, et konkurendid oleksid uinunud. Samsung teeb hoolega edasi WP7 telefone ja proovib Nokiat lüüa hinnaga, sest nende uus Omnia M peaks maksma natuke üle 200 euro. See tähendab, et on tulnud teha järeleandmisi, 1 GHz protsessoriga 4-tollise Super AMOLED ekraaniga telefonil on kõigest 384 MB muutmälu, mis võib valusalt kätte maksta, sest ei pruugi näiteks Skype’i või „Angry Birdsi“ sujuvaks jooksutamiseks piisav olla.

Süsinikiust Lenovo Sülearvutid muutuvad aina õhemaks ja n kergemaks – Lenovo X1 Carbon on 14-tollise ekraani ja 1600 x 900 eraldusvõimega ultrabook, mis kaalub kõigest 1,3 kg. Õhuke ei tähenda järeleandmist jõudluses, X1 Carboni sees on Ivy Bridge ehk kõige uuem ja kiirem kiibistik ja vastav protsessor ning 3G-võrguühendus on püsivarustuses, lisaks on taustavalgustusega klaviatuur pritsmekindel. Teistest ultrabookidest eristab seda kiirlaadimissüsteem, aku saab 80% täis laadida kõigest poole tunniga. Müügile jõuab X1 Carbon suvel ja ennustatav hind on 1000 eurot.

Nutitelefon on tänapäeval juba peaaen gu niisama võimas kui mõne aasta tagune arvuti. Asus on seda mõistnud ja teinudki nutitelefonist midagi enamat kui lihtsalt telefoni. Asus Padfone on nutitelefon, mille saab ühendada 10-tollise tahvelarvutiga, mille külge saab omakorda ühendada klaviatuuri. See võiks olla ideaalne tööriist reisivatele inimestele, kes on tüdinenud vaatamast nutitelefoni pisikest ekraani ja sooviksid teksti sisestada mugavalt ning kiiresti korraliku klaviatuuriga. Android 4.0ga komplekt kaalub 724 grammi, aku peab vastu ööpäeva ja maksab 700 eurot.

All In One Samsung Cuts Prices Although Nokia and its Lumia smartn phones are now dominating the Windows Phone 7 platform, competitors are not dormant. Samsung continues to make new WP7 phones and this challenges Nokia into a price war because its new Omnia M will cost a little over 200 euros. Naturally, Samsung has had to compromise and its phone that has a 1 GHz processor and a 4-inch Super AMOLED display comes only with 384 MB of flash memory that is probably insufficient for smooth running of Skype or Angry Birds.

See ainurakne organism on ilmselt inimesest geneetiliselt kõige erinevam eukarüootne e rakutuumaga elusolend.

This single-celled organism is probably the eukaryote that genetically differs the most from human. Foto: Oslo ülikool / Photo: University of Oslo.

Ookeane asustavad erandlikud elusolendid Skandinaavia teadlased leidsid maailn mameredest erandlikke eluvorme: baktereid, kes toitusid viimati miljonite aastate eest, organismi, kes on inimese kõige kaugem sugulane, ning lihasööjaid vetikaid.

Taani Aarhusi ülikooli teadlased Hans Røy juhtimisel võtsid proove Vaikse ookeani põhjaosast ning leidsid baktereid, kelle ainevahetus on üliaeglane. Teadlaste hinnangul ei ole bakterite toidulauale lisandunud midagi uut viimase 86 miljoni aasta jooksul ning nad toituvad siiani sellest, mille said kaasa ookeani põhja vajudes. 86 miljoni aasta eest kõndisid maakeral ringi veel dinosaurused.

“See on justkui poolitaks koogitükki, mida murtakse ikka ja jälle pooleks, kuid keegi ei söö iial ära viimast raasukest,” iseloomustas Røy bakterite kokkuhoidlikku toitumisstiili. Piirkond Vaikses ookeanis, mida teadlased uurisid, on tuntud toitainevaesuse ja tugevate hoovuste poolest. Nii jõuab ookeani põhja väga vähe setteid, millest põhjaorganismid toituda saaks. “Kui põhja vajub üks setteterake, siis kulub tuhat aastat, enne kui tema peale langeb järgmine terake,” rääkis Røy USA avalik-õiguslikule ringhäälingule NPR. Kuna ookeanipõhja settekiht pakseneb seal väga aeglaselt, saab seda uurides aimu miljonite aastate tagustest oludest. Røy juhitud ekspeditsioon mõõtis sondiga hapniku tarbimist eri settekihtides ning üllatuseks avastasid nad väga nõrga tarbimise isegi 30 meetri sügavusel põhjamudas. Sealne bakterikoloonia elab teadlaste hinnangul eluspüsimise absoluutsel miinimumil.

Røy kinnitusel ei oska nad täpselt öelda,

kui vanad need bakterid on. Võimalik, et nad paljunevad väga aeglaselt, kulutades pooldumiseks vähemalt tuhat aastat. Või on isendid ise miljonite aastate vanused ja suudavad vananemisele hästi vastu panna. Ürgvana on ka organism, keda uurisid Norra teadlased, kuid hoopis evolutsioonilises mõttes. Ainurakne, kelle teadlased püüdsid ühest Oslost lõuna poole jäävast järvest, osutus geneetiliselt väga erinevaks kõigist teistest teadaolevatest organismidest.

Teadlased oletavad, et tegu võib olla ühe iidsema eluvormiga, keda Maal võimalik leida.

Ta ei ole seen, vetikas, taim ega loom – ei kuulu ühtegi suurde rühma, millesse rakutuumaga organismid on jagatud. “Seni ei tea me ühtegi teist organismide rühma, kes põlvneks nii elu puu juurte lähedalt kui see liik,” tõdes uurimistöös osalenud Oslo ülikooli teadlane Kamran Shalchian-Tabrizi.

“See mikroorganism kuulub kõige vanemate teada olevate eukarüootsete ehk rakutuumaga organismide hulka,” märkis Shalchian-Tabrizi. “Ta arenes välja umbes miljardi aasta eest, mõnisada miljonit aastat siia-sinna. Ta annab meile aimu, milline nägi välja elu varasel Maal.”

Collodictyon’i nime kandva organismi (pildil) läbimõõt on vaid 30-50 mikromeetrit ehk ligikaudu niisama palju kui inimese juuksekarval. Ta elutseb põhjamudas ning toitub vetikatest. Õigupoolest avastati organism juba ligi 150 aasta eest, kuid temast teatakse endiselt väga vähe, sest laboris on teda väga keeruline kasvatada.

Tema evolutsioonilise erilisuse tõi välja alles geenide analüüs. Teadlaste sõnul tuleb organismi jaoks elu puule joonistada täiesti uus haru.

Kolmas huvitav avastus on vetikad, kes suudavad tappa ja süüa endast suuremaid organisme. Kuigi vetikat võib kohata ka Läänemeres, pole suplejatel paanikaks põhjust.

Imetillukese vetika Karlodinium armiger’i toidulauale satub enamasti vaevu millimeetrine vähiline nimega tulnuk-tömbik.

Kopenhaageni ülikooli teadlased tõestasid, et kui tavaliselt sööb vähk vetikaid, siis vetikate vohamise puhul osad vahetuvad.

Vetikad kinnituvad vähilise kehale, tapavad ta mürgiga ja hakkavad lagundama.

Oceans Inhabited by Extreme Life Forms Scandinavian researchers have found n record-breaking life forms from world seas: bacteria that last ate millions of years ago, the most distant relative of humans, and flesh-eating algae.

While taking samples in the Northern Pacific, Danish researchers from the University of Aarhus, led by Hans Røy, found bacteria with an extremely slow metabolism. The scientists estimate that the bacteria have not had anything new on their dining table since 86 million years ago.

They have been dining from one lunch box ever since they reached the bottom of the ocean, at a time when dinosaurs where still roaming the Earth.

"It's like they're splitting the same pie over and over again and nobody ever eats the last crumble," said Røy.

The area in Pacific is known for strong currents and lack of nutrients. Very few sediments reach the bottom of the ocean.

It may take a thousand years for one grain of sediment to fall on top of another and since the sediment layer grows so slowly it is a great place to study conditions of millions of years ago. The expedition led by Røy was measuring the oxygen consumption in sediments when they surprisingly found some very weak consumption 30 meters deep. This bacterial colony lives on the absolute minimum conditions required to sustain life.

Røy says that he cannot tell how old the individual bacteria are. They may have been reproducing extremely slow, taking at least a thousand years to reproduce, or they could be millions of years old and very resistant to aging.

Ancient – but in the evolutionary sense – is also the organism studied by Norwegian researchers. The single-celled creature captured from a lake south of Oslo turned out to be genetically very different from all other known organisms. The scientists suggest it might be one of the most ancient life forms on Earth.

It cannot be classified neither as an animal, plant, fungi, algae nor any of the major groups that eukaryotes (i.e. organisms with a cell nucleus) have been divided into. "So far we know of no other group of organisms that descend from closer to the roots of the tree of life than this species," said Kamran Shalchian-Tabrizi from the University of Oslo.

"The microorganism is among the oldest currently living eukaryotes we know of. It evolved around one billion (plus or minus a few hundred millions) years ago. It gives us a better understanding of what early life on Earth looked like," Shalchian-Tabrizi said.

The organism called Collodictyon is about 30 to 50 micrometres long which is about the width of human hair, lives in the bottom sediments and eats algae. It was actually discovered about 150 years ago, but so far very little is known about it since that

teadus / science kind of organisms are difficult to grow in a lab. Only the genetic analysis revealed its special evolutionary place. Scientists say it needs a whole new branch on the tree of life.

The third interesting discovery was algae capable of attacking and eating much larger organisms. Although these algae can also be found in the Baltic Sea, local swimmers need not to worry. The tiny algae Karlodinium armiger likes to feast on the small, only a millimetre long crustacean Acartia tonsa.

Researchers from the Copenhagen University demonstrated that while normally it is the crustacean that eats the algae, the tables are turned when the number of algae gets sufficiently high. In that case, the latter attach to the body of the crustacean, kill it with poison and start to consume its body.

Füüsika paneb kohvi üle tassiääre loksuma Kõndides kohvitassi käes hoides on n väga raske vältida seda, et kohv üle ääre ei loksuks. Põhjuseks on füüsikaseadused, tõendasid California ülikooli teadlased.

Mõte probleemile valemitega läheneda tekkis Ruslan Kretšetnikovil ühel konverentsil, kus ta vaatles kolleegide katsumusi kohvitassiga liikumisel hädas olevaid kolleege.

Naasnud laborisse, hakkas ta korraldama eksperimente: palus inimestel kõndida eri kiirusel, täis kohvikruus käes. Ülesvõtteid analüüsides tuvastas ta, et kohvikruuside kuju võimendab tavalisel kõndimisel tekkivaid võnkeid. Ja kui kõndimise rütmi häirib komistus või kiirem käeliigutus, lendabki vedelik väga kergesti üle kruusiääre.

Kuidas seda vältida? Ilmselt teavad kõik oma kogemusest: kõndida tuleb aeglasemalt või mitte täita kruusi ääreni. Sentimeetri jagu vaba ruumi kruusi ääreni peaks teadlaste sõnul olema piisav.

heidavad nad teadlasele ette, et ta vaatles vaid silindrikujulisi kruuse ega uurinud, kuidas käitub kohv koonilisemates anumates, näiteks plasttopsides.

Physics Force Coffee to Spill Turns out that the reason why it is so n difficult not to spill coffee while walking lies in physics, say scientists from California University.

The idea to approach the problems with formulae occurred to Rouslan Krechetnikov during a conference when seeing colleagues struggle walking with coffee.

Returning to the lab he started experimenting, asking people to move at different speeds, holding a full coffee mug.

When analysing the video recording he found that a regular coffee mug naturally amplifies the frequencies produced while normal walking. And small irregularities, like a stumble or a faster hand movement, make the fluid spill very easily.

How to avoid that? We have probably learned the tricks from our own experience. You should move slower or not fill the mug to the edge. A gap of about a centimetre should do, the scientists said.

Colleagues recognised Krechetnikov’s study as elegant and a potential winner of the IG Nobel prize, the American parody of the award. But they also criticised him for focusing on cylindrical mugs only and leaving out the conical ones, such as plastic cups.

Liigi- ja keelerikkus käivad käsikäes Piirkondades, mille loodus on kõige n liigirohkem ja ohustatum, kehtib sama ka kohalike keelte kohta, avastas rahvusvaheline uurimisrühm.

“Vaatasime elurikkuse säilitamise mõttes olulisi piirkondi ja mõõtsime nende keelelist mitmekesisust,” selgitas rühma liige Larry Gorenflo, Pennsylvania osariigi ülikooli maastikuarhitektuuri dotsent.

Keelte rohkuse ja bioloogilise mitmekesisuse vahel ilmnes selge seos. Looduskaitsjad on määratlenud nn elurikkuse tulipunktid, mis katavad vaid 2,3 protsenti maakera pinnast, aga kus leidub rohkem kui pool kõigist Maa soontaimede liikidest ja 43 protsenti maismaa selgroogsete liikidest.

Samades piirkondades kõneldakse kokku 3200 keelt, mis on ligi pool kõigist maa-

keral kõneldavatest keeltest. Kui vaatluspiirkonda laiendati ka kõrge elurikkusega aladele, lisandus veel 1600 keelt.

Paljud neist keeltest on samasuguses olukorras nagu piirkonna taime- ja loomaliigidki – neid leidub ainult ühes piirkonnas ning nad on väljasuremisohus.

“Kasutusele tuleks võtta koordineeritud meetmed, mis püüavad säilitada nii bioloogilist kui ka kultuurilist rikkust,” märkis Gorenflo.

Biodiversity and Linguistic Diversity Come Hand in Hand An international research group has n found that the areas with most diverse and endangered nature show similar traits about the local languages.

"We looked at regions important for biodiversity conservation and measured their linguistic diversity," says Larry J. Gorenflo, associate professor of Landscape Architecture in Pennsylvania State University.

The study showed a clear connection between the diversity of nature and languages. Conservationists have defined biodiversity hotspots which cover only 2.3 percent of Earth, but contain more than half the world’s vascular plants and 43 percent of terrestrial vertebrate species. In the same areas more than 3200 languages are spoken, i.e. almost 50% of all world languages. When the study extended to areas defined as having high biodiversity, another 1600 languages were added.

Many of these languages share the situation with the area’s plant and animal species - they are only found in one location and face extinction.

"It requires concerted integrated conservation efforts to try to maintain cultural and biological diversity," says Gorenflo.

Lennukis laulavad linnud

sinirind

Kevadel said Estonian Airi uued lennukid endale linnunimed ja linnulaul jõuab ka lennukitesse.

Estonian Airi hooldusinsener Harri Treial selgitab, et lennukisse linnulaulu või mõne muu heli mängima panek pole sugugi nii lihtne, nagu võiks arvata. Põhiliseks takistuseks on lennukite helisüsteem, mis on tavaliselt kümme või rohkem aastat vana, kuna loodud siis, kui lennukit disainima hakati. “Lennuki disainimine on väga pikk protsess, mis võtab aastaid,” selgitab ta.

Lennukitootjad ei tegele mugavussüsteemidega ning suurtes lennukites nähtav-kuuldav on sageli eritellimusel tehtu.

Lennukisalongis istmete kohal asub reisija teenindamiseks mõeldud paneel (passenger service unit), mis sisaldab lampi, hapnikumaski, ventilatsiooniseadet ja kõlarit.

Kõlarist tulebki lennukis heli. Kindlasti edastatakse selle kaudu ohutusteateid ja kapteni infot.

Uuemates lennukites ka muusikat.

Lennukis peab olema inimestele harjumuspärane rõhk, ventilatsioon aga tekitab müra. “Hõredas õhus oleksime nagu kalad kuival,” kirjeldab Treial 10 000 meeri kõrgusel valitsevat atmosfääri. Müra tõttu ei tasu lennukis vaikseid helisid mängida,

jäälind

sest need lihtsalt sumbuvad tausta.

Kuigi lennuki pardal olev CD-mängija võib välja näha nagu odavaim kodutehnika, on tegu kalli seadmega, mille õhku lubamiseks on insenerid teinud palju katseid ja valmistanud näidiseid, et aparaat taluks õhuauke ja karme maandumisi ning et keegi ei saaks näiteks CD-le pandud pahavaraga lennuki juhtimissüsteemidesse tungida.

Lennuki helisüsteemi väljavahetamine on aeganõudev töö, sest uued seadmed nõuavad spetsiaalseid sertifikaate. Eestis sellega ei tegelda, maailmas on paar ettevõtet, kes niisugust teenust pakuvad. Suurtes lennukompaniides töötavad vastava väljaõppega insenerid. Ühe lennuki helisüsteemi ümberehitamine maksab ligi 24 000 eurot.

Linnud taevas Mai alguses valiti rahvahääletusel Estonian Airi Embraeri lennukitele nimed Tuuletallaja, Sinirind, Suitsupääsuke ja Jäälind.

Mis lindudega on tegu, valgustab ornitoloog Mati Kose: Tuuletallaja – vanarahvas andis sellele pistrikulisele nime tema iseloomuliku lennustiili tõttu.

Jahtides hiiri ja teisi väikseid närilisi, rapleb see liik kiiresti tiibu lehvitades õhus (tallab tuult). Sealt

lennundus ülevalt, põldude või niitude kohal lenneldes loeb tuuletallaja otsekui saakloomade tegevuskaarti: ultraviolettvalguse sagedusalas nägemisvõime on abiks näriliste tegevusjälgede leidmisel.

Sinirind – see ööbiku sugulane on samuti osav laulja, ent jätab kevadööde kontsertmeistri kaugele maha oma sulestiku kauniduselt. Pudipõlle meenutav erksinine kurgualune laik ehib seda lindu nagu rukkilill isamaalise kodaniku nööpaugus.

Osavalt taimestikku peituvat sinirinda pole lihtne näha. Seda meeldivam on aga üllatus, kui nõrgavõitu, ent erakordselt meloodiline ja vaheldusrikas laul annab märku nende põhjala kalliskivide läbirändest.

Suitsupääsuke – no kes ei teaks pääsukest, meie rahva lemmikut! Väsimatu lendaja ja osav õhuakrobaat. Väsimatu rändaja, kes igal aastal pesitsusaladelt talvekorteritesse ja tagasi läbib vähemalt poole maakera ümbermõõdu pikkuse teekonna, ent alati pöördub oma armsaks saanud pesakohta tagasi. Lind, kelle vilgas lend ja lustakas „midli-madli“ laul lihtsalt teebki inimese õnnelikuks!

Muusika lennukites Embraer 170 – uusim lennuk Estonian Airi lennukipargis, mille helisüsteemis on n

juba CD mängimise võimalus. Sinna pannakse plaat linnulauluga ja põhimõtteliselt võib edastada igasugust muusikat. Kuna lennuki kaptenil on õigus abielu sõlmida, siis teoreetiliselt on võimalik kõrgustes seda teha lemmiklaulu saatel.

Boeing 737-500 – heli saab mängida kassetilt, kuid vana aparatuur ei taga kvalin teetset heli.

CRJ900 NextGen – helisüsteem on kümme aastat vana. Heli salvestatakse 256MB n PCMIA mälukaardile. Estonian Airi andmeil saab kaardile heli salvestada vaid kaks firmat, millest üks asub USA-s ja teine Norras. Salvestus maksab umbes 1600 eurot.

Kaardi väikse mahu tõttu kuuleb lennukis vaid ohutusteateid, linnulaulu mitte. Kaardi vahetamiseks peab helisüsteemi avama ja seda tohib teha vaid tehnik.

Saab 340 – heli saab mängida kassetilt, kuid vana aparatuur ei taga kvaliteeti. Ka n on propelleritega lennukis pidevalt palju müra, mistõttu heli on raskesti kuuldav.

Jäälind – see eresiniste ja kaneelpunaste sulepartiidega lind mõjub meie veekogudel sama eksootiliselt, justkui oleks krokodilliga kohtunud.

Kui lind oma veekogu kaldaserva vahipostilt äkitselt lendu sööstab, tundub, nagu oleks keegi peotäie kalliskive vette loopinud. Pärast äkilist värvivälgatust sööstab ta vette, sukeldudes väikseid kalu haarama. Selged ja madalaveelised ojad on jäälinnule saagijahi lemmikpaigad. Eriti hea on, kui nende kaldal leidub ka liivakivipanku, kuhu ligi meetripikkuse tunneliga pesakamber uuristada.

Bird Song in the Sky Text: mariliis pinn Photos: mati kose

86

After naming its new airplanes after birds

this spring, Estonian Air now also offers bird song inside the cabins.

Harri Treial, maintenance engineer of Estonian Air, explains that playing back bird song or other sounds over the aircraft’s audio system is actually quite complicated. The main problem is that aircraft and their audio systems have usually designed at least ten years ago. “Designing an aircraft can take a really long time,” he adds.

Since aircraft manufacturers do not produce comfort systems, those available on larger planes are often tailor-made.

Inside the cabin above the seats is a passenger service unit that includes a reading lamp, an oxygen mask, a ventilation device and a loudspeaker.

The loudspeakers deliver the crew’s safety messages and captain’s information. In newer aircraft, also music is played over the loudspeakers.

The air pressure inside the aircraft must be kept regular, but ventilation causes noise. “In thin air we would be like fish out of water,” says Treial, describing the air at an altitude of 10,000 metres.

Because of the surrounding noise, the audio played in aircrafts must be relatively loud.

Although the plane’s inbuilt CD player may

look like a cheap household appliance, it is actually an expensive device that has taken engineers a lot of designing and testing to ensure that it survives both turbulence and hard landings and that no-one could access the aircraft’s control systems with malware on CD. Replacing an aircraft audio system is complicated because all new equipment must be specially certified. Only a few companies in the world provide such a service, and none in Estonia. Large aircraft companies have engineers who are specially trained for this. Rebuilding the audio system of one aircraft costs about 25,000 euros.

Birds in the sky In a public vote held at the beginning of May, Estonian Air’s new Embraer airplanes were named Tuuletallaja (Kestrel), Sinirind (Bluethroat), Suitsupääsuke (Barn Swallow) and Jäälind (Kingfisher).

We asked ornithologist Mati Kose to describe these birds: Kestrel. Ancient Estonians named this falcon after the bird’s unique style of flying.: chasing mice and other small vermin, this species flies by rapidly flapping its wings Hence the name– tuuletallaja – which literally means “wind fighter”. Flying

above the fields or meadows, krestel easily picks out its catch because it can see in UV frequency and detect the tracks of vermin.

Blue Throat. This relative of nightingale is also a skilled singer, but leaves the spring-night concert master far behind by the beauty of its feathers. Its bright blue patch under the throat resembles a bib and looks as festive as a cornflower in the buttonhole of a true Estonian. It’s not easy to spot this bird that skilfully hides in vegetation, but these migrating Nordic jewels can be detected by their weak, yet extremely melodic and varied song.

Barn Swallow. Everybody knows swallows, Estonian’s favourite birds! A restless flier and a skilled aerial acrobat.

A frequent traveller who flies every year from the nesting area to the wintering area and back, covering a distance equal to at least half of the earth’s circumference, and always returning to its beloved nesting place. To see and listen to her is enough to make people happy.

Kingfisher. This bird with bright blue and cinnamon-red feathers is an exotic sight in our water bodies. When a kingfisher departs from its guarding post near the shore, it’s like someone had thrown a handful of diamonds into the water.

July / August 2012 in time

After a sharp burst of colour, it plunges into water, diving for smaller fish. The favourite hunting grounds of this species are clear and shallow streams. Ideally, there are sandstone cliffs nearby where kingfishers can groove their nesting hole that is a metre-long tunnel.

Boeing 737-500. Audio system n plays back tapes, but sound quality is rather poor.

CRJ900 NextGen. The audio sysn tem was designed ten years ago. Sound is recorded on 256MB PCMIA memory card. According to Estonian Air, only two companies can record such audio, one in US and another in Norway. One recording costs about 1600 euros. Because of the limited card capacity, only safety messages can be recorded, not bird songs. To replace the memory card, the audio system must be opened and this requires an authorized engineer.

Saab 340. Audio system plays tapes, n but is outdated and sound quality is poor. Since turboprops are noisy, audio is hard to hear.

lõpus avati portaal TripMe, mis aitab leida sobivaid reisikaaslasi.

Uues portaalis on otsingumootor, kuhu saab täpselt kirja panna otsitava kaaslase soo ja vanuse ning reisi sihtkoha.

Registreerimisel võib teha eraldi konto või kasutada olemasolevat Facebooki kontot.

Portaali TripMe looja ja arendaja Liina Rukki loodab kõik reisikaaslaste otsingud ühte kohta koguda. “Foorumites otsimine võtab aega, sageli ei saa aru, kas kuulutus kehtib või mitte, sihtkohad ja muud tingimused ei pruugi sobida,” selgitab ta.

Mõte portaali loomiseks tuli Rukkil oma vanemate elu jälgides. “Isa ja ema käisid tihti koos reisimas, aga kui isa kolm aastat tagasi suri, polnud emal enam kellegagi koos reisida,” meenutab ta.

Ka statistika näitab, et üksikuid inimesi on järjest rohkem.

Huvilistele portaal meeldib ja on

nende meelest vajalik. On kahtlejaid, kes arvavad, et suhtlemises tagasihoidlikud eestlased ei riski internetist reisikaaslast otsida, kartes sattuda kummaliste inimeste peale.

Lisaks seltskonna leidmisele aitab portaal ka kulusid optimeerida. “Kui soovite neljakesi sõpradega Prantsusmaal nädalaks villa üürida, kuid sinna mahub kuus inimest, on mõistlikum kaks reisikaaslast juurde otsida,” toob portaali looja näite.

Portaali juures olevast reisiblogist leiab häid näpunäiteid ja huvitavaid reisilugusid. Liina sõnul otsivad nad põnevamaid marsruute ja kohti, mida Eestis ei tunta.

Peagi on plaanis portaal ka ingliskeelseks teha.

Portal TripMe

opened at the end of last year and helps people find companions for travelling.

The new portal has a search engine where you insert sex and age, and add the destination where you would like to go to and then look for people to go with. You can make a new account to register or use your existing Facebook account.

Liina Rukki, the creator and developer of TripMe portal, hopes to collect all ads looking for travel companions in one place. “Looking for travel companions in forums is time consuming and often it is hard to understand whether the ad is up to date or very old. Besides, after contacting the person, it might turn out you have different expectations towards your trip,” says Liina.

Inspiration for creating the portal came to her when she was looking at her parents’ life. “My mom and dad travelled often, but after my dad passed away, my mom had no-one to travel with,” says Liina. Statistics show that there are more and more people living alone.

People are welcoming the portal and say it is necessary. Of course there are some who doubt that the somewhat unsocial Estonians would go travelling with a stranger that might turn out to be a bit odd.

Besides finding a travel companion, the portal also helps to manage costs. “If you and three of your friends want to rent a villa in France for a week, but the villa accommodates six, you can look for two extra people to keep costs low,” explains the creator of portal.

The portal also has a travel blog that offers good tips for travelling and interesting stories from around the world. Liina says that they look for interesting routes and places that are unknown to Estonians.

The creator is planning to soon release the webpage in English as well. in time July / August 2012

Estonian Airi uudised / Estonian Air news

Valitud piletid saab ootele panna Estonian Airi koduleht pakub uut teenust, mis võimaldab valitud n hinnatasemega piletid teatud ajaks ootele panna ja aitab sotsiaalmeedias sõpradega reisiplaane arutada.

Estonian Air ja lennufirmade teenuste arendaja Airsavings töötasid välja Facebookiga seotud teenuse Let Me Think (Mõtlen veel), mis ühendab sotsiaalmeedia interaktiivsuse ja võimaluse osta lennupileteid interneti vahendusel. Lennufirma veebilehel asuv rakendus Let Me Think võimaldab reisijatel sisestada vajalikke andmeid lennureisi valimisel ja tellimisel ning aitab teha reisi puudutavaid otsuseid.

Reisijad saavad valitud hinnatasemega piletid teenustasu eest 48 tunniks ootele panna. Seejärel on neil piisavalt aega, et arutada reisiplaane Facebookis kolleegide, sõprade või pereliikmetega ning teha lõplik otsus, kas minna reisile või mitte.

Estonian Air on lennunduses sotsiaalmeedia teerajaja. Sõltumatu uuringuagentuur Airlinetrends.com valis Estonian Airi lojaalsusprogrammi AirScore käivitamise eest kõige innovaatilisemaks lennufirmaks Euroopas.

2011. aastal oli Estonian Air esikohal SimpliFlyingu koostatud pingereas, mis järjestas lennufirmad turunduse ja sotsiaalmeedia innovatsiooni järgi.

30. novembril 2011 kuulutati USA-s Miamis välja Mega Awardi auhinnad, kus AirScore tunnistati parimaks kategoorias Parim kampaania sotsiaalmeedias.

Suvel saab otse Veneetsiasse 9. juunil avas Estonian Air hooajalise lennuliini Tallinna ja n Veneetsia vahel. Estonian Airi lennud Veneetsiasse toimuvad kaks korda nädalas teisipäeviti ja laupäeviti. Liin jääb avatuks 1. septembrini 2012. „Veneetsia on atraktiivne sihtkoht ja geograafiliselt asub linn mugavas kohas, kust on hea ligipääs paljudesse Aadria mere ranniku linnadesse Itaalias ja Horvaatias,” ütles Estonian Airi kommertsjuht Rauno Parras. „Kindlasti on Veneetsia üks eestlaste unistuste puhkusekohtadest, aga uus otselennuliin on väga tervitatav ka Itaalia turistide Eestisse toomisel. Eesti on Itaalia turistide hulgas veel vähe tuntud, peamiselt teatakse Tallinna. Samas on Eestil itaallastele pakkuda palju meeldivaid üllatusi. Euroopalik elulaad, omapärane ja põnev kultuuripärand, head toidud meeldivates restoranides ja puutumatu loodus, kus saab rahu ja vaikust nautides end laadida,” kommenteeris EAS-i turismiarenduskeskuse Itaalia sihtturu juht Tiina Kärsna.

‘lock-in’ – a Selected Fare For a Limited Time Estonian Air launched an innovative service, that helps to ‘lockn in’ a selected fare for a limited time and share travel plans with friends through social media.

Estonian Air and Airsavings, a service developer for airline companies, worked out a new feature called “Let Me Think” that unites the interactivity of social media with the growing trend of onlinebooking and ticket price comparison. “Let Me Think” provides an easy way for the passengers to select and reserve flights and also encourages their decision making process. Travellers can ‘lock-in’ a fare for 48 hours and then share their itinerary and travel plans with colleagues, friends or family in Facebook.

Estonian Air has been recognized for excellence in social media and for its innovational marketing.

The airlinetrends.com, an independent industry and consumer trends research agency ranked Estonian Air as the most innovative company in Europe for its loyalty programme called AirScore. In the end of 2011, Estonian Air was the first in SimpliFlying’s list of innovative marketing solutions in 2011 (of all airlines). On 30 November 2011 in Miami, USA, AirScore won a Mega Award in the category of Best Social Media Campaign.

Seasonal Route Between Venice and Tallinn Opened Starting from 9 June 2012, Estonian Air has a new seasonal n flight between Venice and Tallinn. The flights operate twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays until 1 September 2012.

“Venice is an attractive holiday destination, but it is also situated comfortably near the Adriatic sea, so access to other Italian or Croatian cities around that sea, is very easy,” said Rauno Parras, the CCO of Estonian Air. Estonia is a country yet to be discovered by most Italians. It is a positively surprising mix of modern European lifestyle in the cities and magically peaceful sceneries in the countryside. „Tallinn has a charming UNESCO World Heritage Old Town, a vibrant nightlife and many top quality restaurants serving both contemporary and traditional Estonian cuisine. Just an hour outside Tallinn you can experience untouched nature, island life totally different from any Italian island and take a break from your routine in total silence,“ added Parras.

Lennu tühistamisel peab lennufirma pakkuma kas piletihinna n hüvitamist või muid võimalusi lõppsihtkohta jõudmiseks. Samuti peab lennufirma pakkuma reisijatele abi ja vajadusel majutust.

Lisaks on reisijatel õigus hüvitisele (125-600 eurot), välja arvatud erakorralistel asjaoludel või kui tühistamisest on teavitatud vähemalt kaks nädalat enne reisi .

Kui pagas on rikutud, hilineb või kadunud, tuleb kohe pöörduda n vastavasse teenindusletti ning vormistada raport. Rikutud pagasi korral tuleb lennufirmale kaebus esitada hiljemalt seitsme päeva, kadunud ning hilinenud pagasi korral hiljemalt 21 päeva pärast.

Endiselt on võimalik preemiareise tellida nii edasi-tagasi kui ka ühel suunal ning lastele vanuses 2-11 kehtib 50% soodustus.

Preemiareis Teenitud EuroBonuse punkte on võimalik kasutada preemiareisiks kõikidel Estonian Airi regulaarlendudel. Samuti võib teenitud punktide eest lunastada preemiareisi oma pereliikmetele, sõpradele või tuttavatele. Preemiareiside kohtade arv on piiratud!
