Leidke aega rõõmu jagamiseks Find a way to spread joy

November 2012

Aasta lõpp läheneb ja valmistumine pühadehooajaks kogub hoogu. Tarbijate ja tootjate initsiatiivil algab jõulupakkumiste ja -ostude hooaeg tunduvalt varem kui möödunud aastatel. Jõuludeks valmistumine on muutumas omaette ettevõtmiseks: jõuluturud ja turism jõuluostude tegemiseks pakuvad samavõrra põnevust kui hõõgveini nautimine või kinkide ostmine. Estonian Air ja Ettevõtluse Arendamise Sihtasutus (EAS) ühendasid jõud, et tutvustada Eestit ja selle pealinna kui ideaalset kohta jõulupuhkuse veetmiseks, poodlemiseks ning hea toidu nautimiseks. Meie talvine lennugraafik muudab ligipääsu Tallinna ja Eestisse mugavamaks kui eales varem. Jõulude lähenedes on oluline meeles pidada abivajavaid inimesi. Üks moodus pühadetervituste edastamiseks ja abivajajate meelespidamiseks on kingile kuluva raha annetamine. Teine võimalus on annetada oma vaba aega, lüües kaasa vabatahtlikuna mõnes heategevusorganisatsioonis. Selle kuu numbris saate lugeda Eesti Toidupanga tegevusest ja kaaluda võimalikku liitumist meie ettevõtte meeskonnaga, kes toetavad seda organisatsiooni oma vabast ajast puuduse all kannatavatele inimestele toiduainete kogumise või toidupakkide komplekteerimisega.

With the end of the year approaching it is time to prepare for winter holiday season. As a result of consumer and brand initiatives, the season of Christmas sales starts sooner this year. The act of Christmas shopping is becoming an event in itself – Christmas markets and Christmas shopping tourism, for instance, are as much about enjoying the atmosphere and things like mulled wine as about buying gifts. Estonian Air and Enterprise Estonia (EAS) have teamed up to promote Tallinn and Estonia as a perfect place to spend your Christmas holiday, shop and enjoy good food. With our new winter schedule, Tallinn and Estonia are more accessible than ever. The coming season is also an important time to remember those in need. One way to do that spread holiday cheer could be donating the amount of money you would have spent on a gift to charity. Another thing you can donate is your time. In this issue you can read about The Estonian Food Bank and perhaps consider joining our team who are supporting the organisation as volunteers work hours either collecting food or assembling food packages for people living in poverty.

Soovin teile stressivaba ettevalmistust lähenevaks hooajaks ja loodan, et oskame ja tahame rõõmu valmistada nii endale kui ka teistele.

I wish you a stress-free preparation for the coming season and hope we can find ways of spreading joy as much receiving it ourselves.

Priit Hõbemägi kolumnist

Kuidas leida õiget teed? Igapäevaelus oleme harjunud, et moodne tehnoloogia aitab meid igal hetkel hädast välja. Kui otsime õiget teed, siis aitavad meid nutitelefoni kaardirakendused, kompass ja GPS. Kuid üksinda metsikus looduses jääme hätta ega suuda ilma Päikeseta orienteeruda. Ka esimesed aeronaudid juhindusid visuaalsest vaatlusest ja lendasid maastikku jälgides. Aga kuidas oskavad linnud oma teekonda määrata ning lennata kogu aeg valitud suunas? On linde, kes lendavad lühemaid vahemaid ja sedagi päeval. Neile on Päike ning maapealsed märgid võimalikuks orientiiriks. Kuid on ka linde, kes lendavad nädalapäevad ilma peatuseta kümne tuhande kilomeetri kaugusele. Kirjatuvid on jälle tuntud võime poolest leida oma kodu üles sadade kilomeetrite tagant. Tõenäoliselt on välja arenenud mitu erinevat meetodit. Juba mõnda aega teatakse, et linnud suudavad kuidagi Maa magnetvälja järgi orienteeruda. Teadlased avastasid lindude silmas närvirakke, mis on magnetvälja suuna suhtes tundlikud. Rakud on omakorda seotud nägemisega. Teadlased arvavad, et magnetväli paistab lindudele mingi eristuva laiguna muu maastiku taustal. Aga äkki on neil ülihea nina? Tuvide ülemises nokaosas avastati raudoksiidi kristallid, mis paik8

nevad seal kolmemõõtmelise mustrina. See võib olla “linnukompass”, mis aitab magnetvälja tajumise kaudu asupaika määrata.

On teadlasi, kelle arvates suudavad linnud

ennast nii põhja-lõuna kui ka ida-lääne teljel paika panna. Ja on neid, kes usuvad, et saladuse võtmeks on hoopis haistmismeel. Tuvid kasvavad üles ju oma kodukoha lõhnade keskel. Katsed on näidanud, et kirjatuvid, kellelt oli võetud võime tunda lõhna, pöördusid väga harva oma kodukohta tagasi. Kuid ikkagi pole lindude orienteerimisvõime saladus veel lahendatud. Kliima- või keskkonnamuutused mõjutavad lindude rännet. Seda võib teha kliimasoojenemine, aga ka lindude rändeteele ehitatud tuulepargid. Kui ränded muutuvad või vähenevad, siis võib muutuda vaesemaks ka looduskeskkond. Näiteks Eestis on linnud väga olulised putukate ja kahjurite hävitajad.

Kuidas on lindude ränne seotud lennundu-

sega? Võib öelda, et sama tähtis kui rändetingimuste säilitamine lindudele, on ka sihtkohtade arv lennufirmale. Mida enam linnu, kuhu otse kodukohast lennata saame, seda mitmekesisem ja värvikam on meie elu, seda paremad on meie võimalused suhelda teiste maadega, seda rikkalikum on kultuurielu ja ärimaailm.

How to find the right way? Priit Hõbemägi columnist

We are increasingly relying on modern

technology to help us out of trouble. When we get lost, we can use smartphone maps, navigation software, a compass or GPS. But in the wilderness this may not be enough. Even the first aviators navigated visually, by looking at the terrain. But how do birds choose their flight path and don’t get lost on their way to destination? Birds that fly shorter distances and only at daylight are apparently navigating visually by the sun. But there are birds that fly ten thousand kilometers for weeks without breaks. Carrier pigeons, for instance, can return home hundreds of kilometers away.

There are probably several answers to

that question. For instance, when studying bird navigation and the Earth’s magnetic field, researchers found that birds’ eyes contain nerve cells that are sensitive to the magnetic field. These cells are linked to vision. According to scientists, birds may actually see the magnetic field. Perhaps pigeons have a really good nose? The upper part of the doves’ beak actually contains iron oxide crystals that are located in 3D pattern. This could be kind of a compass that helps birds

navigate with the help of the magnetic field. There are also scientists who believe that birds can accurately position themselves on NS and EW axis. Others believe that the key is the birds’ sense of smell. Pigeons use familiar home smells to navigate and tests have shown that without a sense of smell, carrier pigeons almost never find their way home. Regardless of all these theories, the secret of how birds navigate remains a mystery. Bird migration is being affected by changes in the climate and the environment. In addition to global warming, another major risk are wind farms that intercept birds’ migratory paths. When birds are forced to change their migratory habits, it will have an impact on the wildlife. In Estonia, birds play a very important role in reducing the number of insects and pests.

How is bird migration linked to aviation? Well, one can say that for airlines their network of destinations is as important as migratory paths are for birds. The more there are direct routes to cities, the more diversified and colourful is our life, the better are possibilities to communicate across borders and the richer is our culture and business. in time November 2012

Exhibition „Buying Fever: Consumer Culture in 1990s-2000s Estonia" February 17–December 31, n Estonian National Museum – Exhibit House, Tartu Kuperjanovi 9 Why do we acquire, obtain and procure things? How have these things changed over 20 years? What do our ways of consuming things say about us? How does the media cover consumer spending? What becomes of things when we no longer need them? Consumer spending is such an everyday phenomenon that it sometimes seems hard to notice. And yet our consumer preferences have undergone a great change in just the last few decades, when Estonia went from a deficit-based economy to an age of abundance and shopping “rallies” that incite us to spend and spend. At the exhibition, you find objects procured, obtained, even – one might say – hoarded in the 1990s, showing what we were surrounded by in the last 10 years of the last millennium. Along with the exhibition, a laboratory also opens. The laboratory is an environment that is never finished: some of the elements in the hall do not work or change significantly during the exhibition. At times, a team of designers, curators or educators will be on hand in the hall. Visitors will thus also be able to take part in the process of designing the exhibition, which ordinarily takes place behind closed doors that are opened only when the exhibition is “finished”. www.erm.ee

Amsterdam Amsterdam Sinterklaas Procession November 18 n Every year, Holland's version of Santa Claus – Sinterklaas – arrives in Amsterdam on a steamer from his residence in Madrid. After a welcome reception, he parades through the city accompanied by festive floats, bands and hundreds of helpers. Sinterklaas arrives by boat on the Amstel via the Berlagebrug, the Nieuwe Herengracht and the Schippersgracht, and finishes his tour at the Scheepvaartmuseum around midday. The parade starts from there around half an hour later, heading to the Prins Hendrikkade, Damrak and on to the Vijzelstraat and the Weteringcircuit, finally arriving at the Leidseplein at about 2.30pm, where he addresses the children from the balcony of the Stadsschouwburg. Sinterklaas is a different character from his equivalents in England and the US. For a start, he lives in Spain; reasons for this are unclear, but it might have something to do with Spanish domination of the Low Countries in the past. www.sintinamsterdam.nl

St. Petersburg The Russian Style. Style of life and art Until December 31, n The Peter and Paul Fortress, The Engineers’ House What does it mean to be Russian? This is a question that plagued philosophers throughout the ages, but particularly during the 19th Century when the Russian Empire wished to foster a renewed sense of nationalism after the centuries of 'Europeanisation' started by Peter the Great. It is around this time that ideas of 'Russian style' began to be cemented. Folk art became popular art and clothing, furniture, crockery, posters and even food that looked distinctively traditional Russian became instantly fashionable. This exhibition explores the rise of those new fashions in the 19th and 20th Century and shows how designs which we may consider to be intrinsically ancient Russian were in fact created by the best artists of the time. www.spbmuseum.ru

The world’s first films were made only a few years earlier than that, in 1895. It’s been rough going from the birth of Estonian film in 1912 when young photographer Johannes Pääsuke, using a camera he built himself, recorded Sergei Utotshkin’s flight, to the present day.

History has not been kind to the Estonian film

industry. It has taken decades of Estonian diehard persistence and tenacity to build up the cultural layer of the Estonian film story that consists of loved and forgotten films, unforgettable characters, popular soundtracks and melodies, memorable quotes, stories behind films and legends. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Estonian film, the Film Museum of the Estonian History Museum has put together an exhibition that shows the story of film through the production

process and offers a glimpse behind the secrets of this exciting and mysterious world. Topics covered at the exhibition include storyboards, directing, choosing locations, sound editing, premiers, castings and feature famous film directors, samples of popular film music and other familiar items, photos as well as costumes from different films.

The name of the exhibition is bor-

rowed from one of the most popular comedy films ever made in Estonia – Here we are! (Siin

But did you know when the cinema arrived in Estonia or when the first Estonian animated film was made? You will find the answers to this and other questions at the exhibition. The Estonian History Museum has many links to the local film industry. Two museum buildings – the Great Guild Hall and Maarjamäe Palace – have served as shooting locations for several films. What is truly symbolic is the fact that the medieval Great Guild Hall itself hosted the first cinema screening that was held at the evening of October 4, 1896. Tickets cost 50 kopecks and visitors were shown a 10-minute film programme that consisted of ten short films brought from Berlin. What was the first impression of the thousands who witnessed it? Simply amazing! Estonian film itself was born in 1912 when photographer Johannes Pääsuke (1892-1917) used his apparently self-built film camera to shoot a documentary Utotchkin’s Flight in Tartu. The film itself has not been found and may have been perished. Johannes Pääsuke is also the author of Estonia’s first motion picture. After shooting tens of short films capturing different places and events in Estonia and its peoples' lives, he made his famous satirical short film Bearhunt in Pärnumaa in 1914.

independence at the beginning of 1990 its role as a setting changed drastically: instead of the West, Estonia now portrayed the Wild East. For example, the Lukas Moodysson’s gloomy Lilja 4-Ever (2002) was shot in Paldiski. Film fans also have an emotional connection to soundtracks. Did you know that the world famous Estonian composer Arvo Pärt has been writing music for Estonian animated films already since 1962? Visitors can not only listen to the most popular film music, but can add different sounds to different shots to understand how music and motion picture are linked and how they supplement each other.

It’s only at the end of the tour that it becomes clear whether the visitor has been walking in the shoes of a writer, director, artist, producer, editor or even a movie star. The exhibition „Here we are! The First Century of Estonian Film” offers all this and much more. Look, learn, get acquainted or remember, laugh or cry, but don’t forget.

The exhibition

also covers different film genres and areas. Movie stars, locations, operators – the world of film is exciting. In the Soviet times, for instance, Estonia was often used as a location for depicting the Western world. Tallinn Old Town has been one of the most favourite locations of all times. Andrei Tarkovski shot his Stalker that has become a film classic in Harjumaa. The entry to the zone was on the territory of the former Tallinn Power Plant that today houses the Tallinn Creative Hub. Estonia was also chosen as a location for the hugely popular Soviet-made movie The Hound of the Baskervilles (1981). The streets of Tallinn Old Town were turned into the streets of London, the castles of Glehn and Maarjamäe became the Baskerville Hall and local moors became the hideouts for the Hound.

Chick Corea – full originality and unmistakeable sound Photos: Jazzkaar, Helmi Arrak

CHICK COREA TRIO n (USA) Chick Corea, Christian McBride & Brian Blade November 14 at 19 Nokia Concert Hall

On November 14th the legendary Amer-

ican pianist and composer Chick Corea begins his European tour in Tallinn. With 50 Grammy nominations and 18 Grammy awards he is the most awarded musician ever to visit Estonia. Chick Corea and Bobby McFerrin have been friends for almost quarter of a century, this summer they toured together again. "Chick is wonderful," says Bobby. "With him, I feel like I can go anywhere. I can do anything I want. Chick is right there. He's so sensitive; he's astounding, a great accompanist for me. And he's just full of levity. He can play anything and we have a ball. He lets me sit next to him on his piano stool and play. What can I say? We've known each other a long, long time. Like good friends who know when to speak and when not to, and don't have to say anything. It's like that."

"Chick Corea was one of the main reasons why I chose jazz piano in the first place,“ says Estonian jazz pianist Kristjan Randalu. „When people speak of finding one’s own sound then Chick is one of the first that comes to mind. Full originality and unmistakeable sound. By now a living legend by far who has shaped one big part of the history of jazz music." The prolific pianist Chick Corea is one of the most prominent jazz musicians of the last 50 years. During his long career he has performed and recorded with such renowned musicians as Miles Davis, Bobby McFerrin, Gary Burton, John McLaughlin, Al DiMeola, Herbie Hancock. With symphonic orchestras he has also played and recorded both Mozart and his own piano concertos. Corea’s six solo albums with ECM in 1970 – 1972 played a significant role in the company’s wider recognition. The pianist has wonderful acoustic line-ups, but his Elektric Band is also much loved. The music magazines of USA, UK and Japan have repeatedly chosen Chick Corea to be the best pianist and composer. His most known pieces „Spain“, „La Fiesta“, „Crystal Silence“ and „Windows“ have attained a status of jazz classics already during the composer’s life-time and are played at the concerts all over the world. Corea’s music has also been frequently performed by Estonian musicians Tõnu Naissoo, Lembit Saarsalu, Heidi Tamme, Sofia Rubina etc.

Chick Corea’s newest trio features a stellar rhythm tandem: bassist Christian McBride (Sting, Pat Metheny, McCoy Tyner), one of the most outstanding talents and celebrated musicians of his generation, and drummer extraordinaire Brian Blade (Herbie Hancock, Bob Dylan, Jo n i M i tch el l ) a longstanding member of the Wayne Shorter Quartet.

Ten endeavors with Veljo Tormis and Indrek Vau Veljo Tormis

Indrek Vau is a chamber musician, who actively n

participates in the Estonian concert scene. His programs consists mainly of contemporary music, where the Estonian composers hold a noteworthy part. He has ordered and premiered numerous new works and recorded most of Estonian composers' trumpet works. Vau has worked with many foreign orchestras and performed as a soloist in front of orchestras with well-known conductors such as Neeme Järvi, Eri Klas, Olari Elts, Andres Mustonen, Risto Joost and others.

The piano accompaniment is a sort of annotation for the action (‘endeavors’) found in the melody. Indrek Vau, the trumpet player, was continuously included in the process of writing the piece in order to make the music playable on the instrument and to build a connection between the piece and the musician. “Time wise, I have been working on this piece since early spring this year, yet the final score will be done just nearly before the premiere, because in each repetition we find new things to add, change and improve,” Tormis adds.

Peep Lassmann is a welln

known pianist and teacher, whose concert tours have taken him to all the parts of the former Soviet Union as well as to Finland, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Cuba, Canada and to the USA. He has performed together with the most important Estonian orchestras, also with the Moscow Philharmonic orchestra and many other orchestras in Russia, Moldavia and Latvia.

On the night

of 29th November the piece “Ten endeavors with the trumpet and the piano” of one of the best known Estonian contemporary composers Veljo Tormis will be performed for the very first time. Estonia’s best musicians, trumpet player Indrek Vau and pianist Peep Lassmann will step on stage in the renaissance House of Blackheads. Veljo Tormis is one of the most loved composers in Estonia, who often uses the Estonian folk songs – the regi-songs – as an inspiration, and the influence of Estonian folk music is easily recognizable in his creation. “Ten endeavors with the trumpet and the piano” is also based on a cycle of regisongs, which consist of narrative folk songs. “Since the words have a high importance in the narrative folk songs and the melody is rather monotonous, I decided to ring the changes in

The idea to write this piece came shortly after the Estonian wind instruments and percussion competition in March 2012, when a member of the jury – Indrek Vau – heard Tormis’ trombone piece “Killing the big Ox”. After a short while he turned to Veljo Tormis with the idea to re-write the piece for the trumpet, but as a result of their discussion Tormis ended up writing a whole cycle for the instrument. Veljo Tormis ended his creative career 12 years ago and the decision to rewrite his own earlier music gives a historical coloration to the piece “Ten endeavors with the trumpet and the piano”. Vau and Lassmann will also be performing music from other Estonian composers such as “Six short pieces for the trumpet and the piano” by Ester Mägi and “The songs from Thule II: Northen light” by Tõnu Kõrvits. in time November 2012

Travel back to the sixteenth century Text: Kaidu Tiirik Photos: SA Virumaa Muuseumid, Kaire Kullik

Rakvere castle is a mediaeval world which transports young and old back five hundred years to an era of brave knights, fair ladies and wicked lords. Visitors

are transformed into knights and warriors to clean the weaponry under the orders of a sergeant-at-arms or help the stable hand groom a horse. It's a great family experience that gets kids excited about history and teaches them all about life in the sixteenth century.

Visiting the castle Rakvere Castle is open seven n days a week. From May 1 to September 30 it is open daily from 11–19. In winter it is open Wednesday to Sunday from 11–15 for booked groups. Rakvere Castle is situated on Vallimägi Hill. www.rakverelinnus.ee e-mail: linnus@svm.ee

For the younger ones, there are many animals to meet, including the geese, goats and horses which would have trotted around a middle ages village. Even the food is a historical experience, with the Schenkenberg Tavern serving food made to mediaeval recipes. During the summer months, team-building days, anniversaries, student trips, weddings and other events are welcome to come and spend a day with our ancestors. Rakvere is a place to relax too. It has greenery and a romantic garden behind the workshops where you can stroll. The many historical buildings and vehicles such as ox carts will also interest the history buff. For those who like their history a bit more bloodthirsty, the collection of weaponry

For our mediaeval ancestors, the three

greatest fears were torture, death and hell – and you just couldn't get away from thinking about them. Rakvere's torture chamber displays the castle's instruments of pain and in the middle of the room there is a copy of a rack which would have caused many a grown man to cry. The torture chamber can only be visited with a guide since you need someone who really knows what he is doing... You will also learn the executioner's status in the Middle Ages and the attitude of the Catholic Church to heretics and witches. To make the visit unforgettable, there is a coffin in the middle of the room which might just hold a scary surprise. For the people of the sixteenth century, Hell was a very real place. The torture chamber was constructed as a labyrinth and you can only get out of Hell by climbing the stairs to Heaven.

The longest period was the age of the Order, when Rakvere Castle was an important link in the defence system of the eastern border of the Teutonic Order. The bailiffs of Rakvere were usually bright young knights, for whom the castle was a good springboard to gaining a leading position in the Order. At the end of the Dark Ages, Rakvere Castle was an Estonian stronghold. In the middle of the thirteenth century the Danes built the first stone fortifications in the place of the ancient Estonian fort and by the middle of the fourteenth century there was a Danishbuilt curtain wall castle on Vallimägi Hill.

A Magic Castle

opens its gates in December, complete with a spruce forest. Torches and fires will burn and beautiful Christmas music will play. For children, wizards and elves are on hand to lead the fun. There will be workshops where you can help Mother Christmas decorate gingerbread biscuits. After that you can explore the elves' post office and decorate the Christmas tree. You can also can learn a few magic tricks from the wizards and visit the horrible haunted cave (if you're feeling brave). And if you're wondering what the new year will hold, the castle goat will tell you. Of course, you can enjoy lots of delicious Christmas food and fireworks. But the fun doesn't end in december, every January the castle is visited by hundreds of people during the first two weeks of the New Year. They come to celebrate with a powerful cannon shot and a small fair is held. Rakvere was built in the thirteenth century and since then has belonged to Danish kings, knightmonks of the Livonian Order and the Swedish and Polish states.

November 2012 in time

After the beginning of the St. George’s Night Uprising the vassals of Harju and Viru placed themselves under the protection of the Livonian Order and from May 16, 1343 Rakvere Castle belonged to the Livonian Order. In the age of the Order, Rakvere Castle was extensively rebuilt. The simple curtain wall castle was turned into a convent building that better served the needs of the Livonian Order as a religious order of knighthood. In 2012 Rakvere Castle was renovated as an EU project, with a grant from Enterprise Estonia.

Monorail tracks flow through the heart of Kuala Lumpur near Medan Tuanku

Kuala Lumpur is more than just an international airport Tickets to SAS, KLM, Air France, Aeroflot and other airlinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flights can also be booked via Estonian Air website. More info at www.estonian-air.com

Kuala Lumpur is a real melting pot of religions, cultures and cuisines. It's a place where the new Western customs meet old Eastern traditions and where really traditional communities of Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Christians and even ethnic Chinese coexist side by side. Text / photos: Laur Laanemaa

Some like to compare Kuala Lumpur to Sin-

gapore, but even after the first hour of visit, it is clear that this place looks more Asian with the mixed race population, interesting food and world class architecture.

People often find themselves rushing through some of the greatest cities in the world. Kuala Lumpur is no exception in that regard. Many travellers from Europe fly through Kuala Lumpur on their way to South East Asia or Oceania and

place to be Australia, but only a few stop for a day or two to appreciate the cultural variety in the capital of Malaysia.

Besides the usual sightseeing in places like the busy Central Market, colorful Butterfly Park, detailed Jamek Mosque and mysterious Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur is also a strong player in the gastronomic field. The religious mixture of people has resulted in such suburbs like Little India, Little Korea and Chinatown. You can start your culinary journey with genuine Malay dishes like beef or chicken satay at the simple food stalls on Jalan Alor, running through Little India for a taste of hot veg curry and ending in some of the top fine dining places in the Golden Triangle for some delicate duck confit. Another great idea is to get your first monorail experience in Kuala Lumpur as it is a good way to navigate through the centre and also see the busy streets from above. The rail flows through the heart of the city from north to south forming a huge mirrored “C” on the map – it is almost 9 km long and has 11 stations to hop on and off. The south end of the line is conveniently connected to Kuala Lumpur Sentral – the central station for all the metro lines.

If you decide

to walk and explore the urban settings from the ground level, Kuala Lumpur has quite a compact city centre, so it is easily manageable on foot. Although the settlement at the spot of Kuala Lumpur is just a bit more than 150 years old, you can see old and new architecture side by side ranging from mosques to shopping malls. There are large scale developments in each part of the city, from suburbs close to the airport all the way to the very centre of the city, next to the world famous Petronas Twin Towers. The city of KL is still growing – physically and emotionally – and manages to impress every time you pay a visit longer than just an hour in the international flights terminal.

economics

Europe faces economic slowdown The key question facing economists for at least the next one or two years is how the economy is to withstand Eurozone turbulence. At the beginning of October the Parliament ratified an act related to the 700 billion euros lending capacity of European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF). Parliament Text: Olavi Grünvald, PricewaterhouseCoopers Photo: Shutterstock

also approved the early settlement of the second payment into the ESM fund, which according to Minister of Finance Jürgen Ligi, was needed to convince the markets of Estonia’s reliability as a partner on the international stage. The total contribution of Estonia to ESM will amount to 148 million euros payable over a five year period. No one can tell if this seemingly huge 700 billion euros will stabilise the market. The size of Eurozone's economy is close to 10 000 billion euros and governments’ gross debts amount to over 8 000 billion euros. The run-up to the Greek elections this spring and the EU Summit demonstrated how quickly nearly unthinkable scenarios in the Eurozone crisis can come about. Political developments, economic news, and approaching debt redemption deadlines can

trigger fears of sovereign debt defaults or Eurozone exits that could materialize over the course of a weekend. Given the current pace of change and the level of volatility, many companies are focusing on preparing to navigate continuing uncertainty and changes in the global environment. PwC’s 15th Annual Global CEO Survey found that more than half of corporate leaders say their business had already been affected financially by the Eurozone debt situation and about 45% of CEOs say the crisis has triggered changes to strategy, risk management, or operational planning. According to Sarah O’Connor (Financial Times, May 18, 2012), close to 25% of the 1,500

global executives surveyed in May already had a contingency plan for a Eurozone break-up. Holding the Eurozone together – Europe’s leadership will still probably drive the European economic slowdown through 2013. But the limited success to date of action aimed at holding the Eurozone together has made at least a partial break-up a realistic possibility. PwC’s economists believe that such a break-up could cause major disruptions as well as a deep recession across the Eurozone that could persist for years.

How can the less than a 20 billion Euro

Estonian economy influence and help? Apparently, only with good will and good examples. Although the government budget will be in deficit again in 2012 with an expected 1.1 to 1.2 percent of GDP, it can be still taken as a showcase given the situation elsewhere in Europe. The expected deficit in 2013, based on the recently adopted budget, is 0.7 percent with a surplus expected in 2014. The budgeted growth in revenues is only 2.2 percent in 2013, which is low given the close to 4 percent real GDP growth and 3 percent inflation predictions. The growth of state revenues will be dampened by a decrease in the general tax burden by 0.6 percent to 32.6 percent. There are two main sources of this reduction. One of them is rather dubious as it relates to the re-establishing of the state payments to the second pension column which were stopped in the time of the crisis. The second relates to the reduction of payments to the

Toidupank toidab näljaseid Toidupank feeds those in need When Estonia’s first food bank Ees-

Piet Boerefijn

Kui Eesti esimene toidupank 2010. aasta alguses loodi, plaanis idee algataja Piet Boerefijn arendada ettevõtmist tasa ja targu ning avada igal aastal ühe uue toidupanga. Praegu on Eestis kümme toidupanka. Esimene toidupank asutati Ameerikas 1960. aastatel. Phoenixi linna kiriku supiköögis vabatahtlikuna töötanud John Van Hengel tuli ideele koguda kauplustelt kokku defektidega või „parim enne“ kuupäevale lähenev toidukaup ning jagada see vaestele. Hengeli idee levis kiiresti ning nüüd on toidupanku üle kogu maailma. Igas ühiskonnas on vaeseid, ka kõige rikkamates. Iga viies Eesti laps elab praegu absoluutses vaesuses: neis peredes jääb sissetulek ühe inimese kohta alla 186 euro kuus. See tähendab ligi 45 000 last, kes peavad õhtul tühja kõhuga magama minema. Toidupank kogub tootmisest ja kaubandusest kokku ületoodetud ja hävitamisele mineva toidukauba ning jagab selle vaestele peredele. Toidukastid pakitakse vabatahtlike abiga ning jagatakse laiali sotsiaalosakondadest saadud nimekirjade alusel. Toidukaupa ei osteta. Koostöös ettevõtetega korraldatakse toidukogumispäevi jm aktsioone, et igaüks saaks abikäe ulatada. Toidupankade kulud on seotud logistika, laokulude ja transpordiga. Lõviosa tööst tehakse ära vabatahtlike abiga. Tänulik ollakse igasuguse abi eest. Eesti Toidupanka toetavad Eesti-Hollandi Heategevusfond Päikeselill, Swedbank ja Avatud Eesti Fond. November 2012 in time

ti Toidupank was set up at the start of 2010, its founding father Piet Boerefijn planned to develop the project slowly and open one new food bank every year. Two years later, there are ten food banks in Estonia. In history, the first food bank was set up in USA in 1960s. John Van Hengel who volunteered in a soup kitchen run by a church in the city of Phoenix came to the idea to collect food items that were deficient or about to expire from stores and share them with the poor. Hengel’s idea caught on and there are now food banks all over the world. There are poor people in all societies, also in the rich ones. One of five Estonian children lives in absolute poverty: in their families income per family member is less than 186 euro per month. There are about 45,000 children who go to sleep with an empty stomach. Surplus food products that would otherwise be destroyed are collected from production and stores and distributed to poor families by the Food Bank. Food crates are packed by volunteers and distributed to people on the list of social welfare departments. The bank does not buy food, but in cooperation with partners organises food collection days and other events so that everyone can offer a helping hand.

sihtkoht

Võimas ja müstiline Kiiev, kuldsete kuplitega linn Kiiev, üks vanemaid Euroopa linnu ja kunagine Kiievi-Vene suurriigi keskus pakub erakordset arhitektuuri, õigeusu müstikat ja kaugete aegade hõngu. Tekst: Katri Soe-Surén Fotod: Erakogu, Shutterstock

erega kolm aastat Kiievis elanud ja töötanud eestlasest PricewaterhouseCoopers juht ja partner Urmas Kaarlep kinnitab, et Kiiev on võimas linn, mida tasub kindlasti külastada. Üks põhjusi Kiievisse sõita on linna rikas ja kirev ajalugu. Oli ju Kiiev praegusel Ukraina, Venemaa ja Valgevene alal asunud Kiievi-Vene riigi keskus 9.–13. sajandini, enne kui mongolid selle 13. sajandil vallutasid. Kiievi nüüdisaegne peatänav kannab ammuste sündmuste mälestuseks nime Hreštšatik. Just siin võttis suurvürst Vladimir aastal 998 vastu õigeusu, lastes oma poegadel, sõjaväel ja bojaaridel usu kinnituseks toona kahe nõlva vahel voolanud ojast läbi minna. „Tasub meenutada, et enne mongolite pealetungi 13. sajandi keskpaigas oli Kiiev

Kesklinna kaks suuremat n kaubanduskeskust asuvad maa all (Metrograd, mis asub Bessarabka turu juures ning Maidani all asuv kaubakeskus). Peatänaval Hreštšatikul ja sealt edasi piki Vasõlkõvska (Tšervonoarmeiska) tänavat asuvad firmakauplused. Uued moodsad kaubanduskeskused on kesklinnast väljas 5-10 kilomeetri kaugusel. Üks suuremaid on SkyMall (Moskva silla juures, sinna pääseb ainult oma auto või taksoga), suuruselt järgmised on DreamTown Oboloni linnaosas, kuhu pääseb ligi ka metrooga (peatuse nimi on Obolon) ja Bolševik, mis asub Peremogi Avenüül (lähim metroopeatus on Šuljavska).

50 000 elanikuga üks Euroopa suuremaid linnu, jättes kaugele seljataha näiteks Londoni, kus tollal oli vaid 20 000 elanikku. Kui poleks olnud saatuslikke sündmusi, oleks Kiiev võinud tänaseni olla Venemaa pealinn.” Aastal 1240 vallutas Kiievi Batu-khaan ja linna 50 000 elanikust jäi ellu vaid 2000. Linn rüüstati ja põletati maha ning sama elanike arvuni jõudis Kiiev taas alles 19. sajandil. Tänu värvikale ajaloole on siin palju vaadata. Kindlasti tuleb külastada Sofia katedraali, mis sai nurgakivi 1037. aastal Jaroslav Targa valitsusajal ja kuulub UNESCO maailmapärandi nimistusse. Või askeesi harrastavate munkade 1050. aastal rajatud Lavra koobaskloostrit, mis samuti UNESCO maailmapärandi nimistusse kuuludes on praegu kristliku maailma üks olulisemaid vaatamisväärsusi. Vaatamisväärsused ei piirdu ainult õigeusu ja Vana-Vene ajalooga. Kaarlep soovitab käia Kiievi riiklikus lennundusmuuseumis, kus on väljas

palju maailmas haruldasi lennukimudeleid, teiste seas külma sõja aegsed nõukogude ülehelikiirusel lendavad strateegilised kaugpommitajad, kopterid ja palju muud põnevat. Samuti tasub minna isamaasõja kompleksi juures asuvasse sõjatehnika muuseumi, mille leiab kesklinnas kergesti üles 68-meetrise kuju Rodina Mat järgi, mis on maailma üks kõrgemaid kujusid (New Yorgi Vabadussammas on 46,5 meetrit). Kui aega rohkem, võib sõita linnast viis kilomeetrit eemal asuvasse Pirogovi parki – tegemist on suure Ukraina vabaõhumuuseumiga, kus on väljas ajaloolised, eri piirkondadest kokku toodud talumajad, puukirikud ja tuulikud. Siin võib näha vanimat säilinud Ukraina talumaja aastast 1587, vanimat puukirikut, imetleda Ukraina käsitöömeistrite loomingut ning ilusa ilmaga koos kohalikega murul piknikku pidada. Kaarlepa soovitus, mida turismiteatmikest ei leia: 12. sajandi keskpaigas ehitatud Kirillovka kirik (aadress O. Teligi 12), kus on hästi säilinud freskod 12. sajandist ja kuulsa vene kunstniku Mihhail Vrubeli originaallooming. Külastust väärib ka Andrejevska tänav – Kiievi ja kogu Ida-Euroopa vanim tänav, mida on paljude muuseumide, kunsti- ja käsitööpoodide tõttu nimetatud ka Kiievi Montmartre’iks. Järsk ja looklev tänav ühendab omavahel ajaloolist vanalinna kommertsliku Podili linnaosaga. Sellel asub näiteks Kiievist pärit kuulsa kirjaniku Mihhail Bulgakovi majamuuseum. Teinegi Kiievi eestlane Ulvi Tsarski iseloomustab linna kui rohelist ja mägist, kus on palju parke, inimesed sõbralikud ja keskkond turvaline. „Tänu sel suvel Kiievis peetud jalgpalli EM-ile on kesklinnas suunaviidad, mis juhatavad tähtsamate vaatamisväärsuste juurde. Enne jalgpallivõistlusi tõsteti mitmete muuseumide sissepääsupiletite hinda, kuid Lavras (suurim kloostrikompleks ja vaatamisväärsus number üks) langetati piletihind 8. augustist 50 grivnalt vaid kolmele. Kogu Dnepri jõe paremkallas on atraktiivne, alates Volodõmõri mäest kuni Mat Rodinani.” Kõik linna kirikud on väga heas korras ja turistidele avatud. Tasuline on Sofia katedraal, teiste külastamine on tasuta. Väikeseks jalutuskäiguks Kiievi südalinnas pakub Ulvi välja isikliku lemmikringi: Sofia katedraali juurest alustades kõndida Mihhailovska väljakuni, sealt jalutada Peizažnaja allee-

sihtkoht le (asub Andrejevska tänava alguse lähedal) ja siis mööda Andrejevska tänavat alla Podili (vana tööstuslinnaosa, kus on palju populaarseid söögikohti ja jõesadam) ning sealt sõita funikulööriga üles Volodõmõri mäe otsa, kus võib pargis jalutada ning kloostris käia.

Kiiev on kunstide linn Viiendat aastat Kiievis elav eestlanna Kaie Küüsvek peab aga Kiievit eelkõige kunstilinnaks. „Suurepäraseid klassikalise muusika kontserte korraldatakse Ukraina rahvuslikus filharmoonias (National Philharmonic Of Ukraine, Volodõmõri tänav 2), parimat popmuusikat saab kuulata Ukraina palees (Palace Ukraine). Peale selle võib elavat muusikat kuulata pea iga päev siinsetes rohketes pubides.” Hoiatuseks mittesuitsetajatele: Ukrainas võib suitsetada igal pool. Restoranid küll eraldavad nurgakese mittesuitsetajatele, kuid tavaliselt tähendab see vaid paari lauda kusagil kaugemas sopis. „Ka kõikvõimalikud muuseumid on Kiievis esindatud, kuid ahjuks pole ruumid, kus suurepäraseid maale, skulptuure või muud ajaloolist eksponeeritakse, juba aastaid (aastakümneid) remonti näinud.” „Kiiev on ilus linn ja seda näitab suursugune arhitektuur,” ütleb Küüsvek. „Tuleb vaid ajaloopärlid nõukogudeaegsete hoonete vahelt üles leida. Minu lemmikud, mida väga tihti ei mainita, on: Püha Nikolause roomakatolik katedraal Krasnoarmeiska tänaval ja Ukraina Keskpanga hoone Institutska tänaval. Esimese puhul meeldib rahulik suursugusus, teise puhul veidi toretsev, samas väärikas stiil.”

Roheline ja turvaline „Kiiev on väga turvaline linn. Ukrainlane on olemuselt rahumeelne, mitte agressiivne,” rahustab Kaarlep kuritegeliku mainega Ida-Euroopat pelgavaid turiste. Õhtul teatrist tulles võib pimedas kesklinnas julgelt jalutada läbi Ševtšenko pargi, kus rahvas ohtralt õlut tarbib, lapsele üks jäätis osta, ning siis rahulikult koju minna. „Kuritegevus on seotud pigem tellitud tööde ning ärikonfliktidega,” tõdeb Kaarlep. Ettevaatlik tasuks ikka olla, sest taskuvargaid liigub linna peal palju. Näiteks võib metroos kergelt ilma jääda käekotis olevast rahakotist. Kaarlep soovitab metroos mitte kõva häälega eesti keeles rääkida ehk siis mitte välja näidata, et ollakse

välismaalased. Sama reeglit võiks järgida ka turul ringi liikudes.

Takso hinnas leppige kokku Mis puudutab Kiievis ühistranspordi kasutamist, siis võib sõita nii takso kui ka metrooga. Mõlemad on suhteliselt odavad, kuid välismaalaselt nõuavad taksojuhid sageli 2-3-kordset tasu ning soovitav oleks enne hindu uurida ja tasus kokku leppida. Rusikareegel: lennujaamast 30 kilomeetri kaugusel asuvasse kesklinna sõiduks rohkem kui 250 grivnat maksta on palju, paras on 200, 180 on juba

sihtkoht

Nõuandeid maksevahendite kasutamisel

Valuutavahetusel nõutakse passi ja tuntakse huvi, kas on soovi hiljem järelejäänud n grivnad tagasi vahetada, selleks kirjutatakse välja vastav paber. Valuuta vahetamise võimalusi on linnas palju, lisaks pankadele ka valuutavahetuspunktid. Kurss neis võib olla veidi erinev. Maksta saab järjest enamates kohtades kaardiga. Lisaks PIN-koodile tuleb osades kohtades anda allkiri, mõnes kohas tõmmatakse kaart ka ilma PIN-i nõudmata läbi, tuleb valvel olla, et seda ei tehtaks. Populaarseim maksevahend on siiski sularaha.

väga soodne. Linnas ühest punktist teise liikudes ei tohiks minna üle 100 grivna, mõistlikud otsad jäävad 40-60 grivna piiresse.

Kiievlane armastab loodust Kiievlased ise armastavad nädalavahetustel väljas käia. Olgu see siis lõuna- või õhtusöök ühes rohketest Kiievi lähistel asuvatest vabaõhurestoranidest või lihtsalt piknik pere või sõpradega linnalähedases pargis. Kaks populaarsmat kohta on Truhhanovi saar keset Dnepri jõge ja Pirogovi park linna lõunaosas. Loodus on ilus, kuid kahjuks ei oska kiievlane seda hinnata, peab kohalike eluolu lähemalt tundev Küüsvek tõdema. „Prügi, mis piknikukorviga tuuakse, sinna põõsa all ka jääb. Eestlaste ettevõtmisel teist aastat toimuv aktsioon Teeme ära! ei ole siin laialdast kõlapinda leidnud.”

Maailma parim borš ja sõrnikud Kui linnas jalutades kõht tühjaks läheb, tasub sisse astuda kohalikku ukraina kööki pakkuvatesse toi-

dukohtadesse. Neid on Kiievis palju ja need võivad olla ka kallid, kuid maitsev kõhutäis on enamasti garanteeritud. Ulvi lemmik on Varenitšnaja nr.1 (asub spordihalli vastas). Pidulikumad ja kallimad on kvaliteetset ukraina rahvuskööki pakkuv Tsarskoje Selo isamaasõja memoriaali juures, Pervak kesklinnas ning Panas Ševtšenko pargis. Viimast ümbritseb eheduse säilitamiseks värvikas aed ja väike kanala. Selle pargi juures asub ka Eesti saatkond. Kohalikud eestlased on kord kuus kokku saanud peatänaval asuvas pubis Botška. Koduse õhustiku ja väga sõbraliku teenindusega on meelde jäänud itaalia toidu restoran Oliva, millel on neli filiaali. Podili linnosas asuvasse restorani tuleb kohad alati enne kinni panna. Kaarlepale jätsid erilisema mulje restoran Concorde (väga hea köök, sobiva ilmaga on mõnus istuda terrassil, hind pigem kallis), idamaade restoran Tjubeteika (parimad tšeburekid, normaalse hinnaga, mõnus emotsioon). Kaarlep soovitab: „Kui Andrejevska spuskil jalutada, võib minna restorani Za dvumja zaitsami, kus on väga hea Ukraina borš ja sõrnikud. Samanimeline film on Ukrainas tuntud kõigile. Spuski alguses on isegi sellele filmile pühendatud skulptuur.” Kel õhtul veel jaksu jätkub, võib suunduda elava muusikaga restoranidesse, kus ka tantsitakse. Ulvi Tsarski ütleb: „Üks tore koht on Dejavu, vahva Kuuba õhustik on Jaroslav Vali tänaval asuvas restoranis La Bodeguita Del Medio. Kahjuks on suitsetajad kõikides kohtades eelisseisuses, sest mittesuitsetajate ruumid pole nii atraktiivsed.” Ja veel üks detail: vaatamata suurepärasele Ukraina köögile võib Kiievis tekkida tunne, et rahvussöök on sushi ja rahvusjook mochito, sest neid pakutakse kõikides söögikohtades. Tänavatel on rohkesti kohviautosid, kus pakutakse masinakohve, mõnes ka kokteile. Maitsev on Hreštšatikul jäätisekioskites müüdav masinajäätis. Küüsvek paneb südamele: „Kiiev on ilus, roheline, väärikas ja huvitav linn. Ja pole vaja üldse süveneda teeninduse kvaliteeti, teede olukorda, hulkuvate koerte probleemi, lihtsate inimeste toimetuleku piiril elamisse, liikluses valitsevasse terrorisse, liikluspolitsei ülevõimu jne. Turistina tulles ei ole mõtet hakata maailma parandama, vaid võtta asju nii, nagu need on. Peamine on naeratada, ehk naeratab mõni kohalik siis vastu ka.”

Kiev, a city of power, myths and golden cupolas Kiev, one of Europe’s oldest cities and former capital of the Kiev-Russian empire, offers exquisite architecture, Orthodox mystique and a distinct feeling of history. Text: Katri Soe-Surén Photos: Private archive, Shutterstock

rmas Kaarlep, partner and managing director of PricewaterhouseCoopers, has been living and working in Kiev with his family for three years. He says that Kiev is a great, impressive city that is definitely worth a visit. One of the reasons is the town’s rich and colourful history. After all, Kiev was the administra-

tive centre of the Kiev-Russian state that covered the current territory of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus from 9th to 13th century, before it was invaded by Mongols. Also Kiev’s main street Khreshchatyk has been named in honor of these great times. This is where grand duke Vladimir accepted Orthodox religion in 998, letting his sons, army and nobility walk through the local stream. Don’t forget that before the Mongol invaded Kiev in the middle of the 13th century, it had

destination in 1050. It is also under UNESCO protection and is one of the most important landmarks of the Christian church. Tourist attractions, of course, are not limited to the history of the Orthodox Church and the Rus. Kaarlep recommends to visit the Kiev State Aviation Museum which features many rare aircraft models including Soviet strategic supersonic longrange bombers that were used during the Cold War, helicopters and much more. He also likes the museum of military technology located at the WWII complex that can be easily found thanks to the 68-metre Rodina Mat sculpture which is one of the world’s highest statues (New York’s Statue of Liberty is only 46.5 metres high). If you have more time, drive 5 km outside the city to the Pirogov Park which is a big openair museum with ancient farmhouses, wooden churches and windmills. The exhibition includes the country’s oldest farmhouse that dates back to 1587 and the oldest wooden church. You can check out local handicrafts and, if the weather is good, have a picnic. Although it’s not in the guidebooks, Kaarlep recommends to visit the Kirillovka church that dates back to the middle of the 12th century. It’s located at O. Teligi 12 and features excellent medieval frescoes and original works of the famous Russian artist Mihhail Vrubel. You should also visit Andrejevska street. It’s

50,000 residents and was one of Europe’s largest towns. For instance, London had a population of only 20,000 people at that time. Without these fatal events, Kiev could have been the capital of Russia until today. In 1240 Kiev was invaded by Batu Khan, and only 2,000 people survived. The city was plundered, burned down and totally destroyed. Its population reached 50,000 only in the 19th century. Thanks to its colourful history, there is a lot to see. You should definitely visit the St. Sophia Cathedral or Sofiyskiy Sobor whose first foundation was laid in 1037 during the reign of Yaroslav the Wise and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Or pay a visit to the Pechersk Lavra, the monastery of caves, that was founded by ascetic monks

the oldest street in Kiev and the whole Eastern Europe. Because of many museums, art galleries and handicraft stores is often called the Montmartre of Kiev. This steep and curvy street connects the historic old town with the more commercial Podil district. On the same street is also the museum of the famous writer Mikhail Bulgakov who was born in Kiev. Ulvi Tsarski, another Estonian who lives in Kiev, says that the city is green and hilly, has many parks, people are friendly and it’s safe. „Thanks to the European Football Championships held this summer in Kiev, there are now signs in the city centre that guide you to the most important landmarks. All are accessible by a double-decker tour bus. Before the football finals, several museums increased ticket prices, but Lavra, the biggest monastery centre and a main tourist attraction, cut it from 50 grivnas to just 3. The whole right shore of the Dniepr is attractive, starting from the Volodymyr hill up to Mat Rodina.” All churches in the city are in good condition and open to tourists. Entry to St Sophie’s Cathedral is paid, but others are free.

For a walk in central Kiev, Ulvi suggests her favourite route: start at the Sofia Cathedral towards Mikhailovska square, continue to Peizaznaja alleja (at the start of Andrejevska street) and then along Andrejevska to Podil (an old industrial district with many popular dining places and a river harbour) and take a cable railcar on top of Volodymyr hill where you can visit a nice park and a monastery.

Kiev is a city of arts Kaie Küüsvek who has been living in Kiev for five years says that Kiev is, first and foremost, a city of arts. „National Philharmonic of Ukraine at Volodymyr street hosts excellent classical music concerts. Palace Ukraine, an incredibly ugly Soviet-time building that you can find in all former Soviet republics, is famous for its rock and pop concerts. You can find live music in many pubs in the area.” A warning to non-smokers: in Ukraine smoking is allowed everywhere. Restaurants may have a separate smokers’ area, but it’s usually nothing else but a few tables in a corner. „You have so many museums, but unfortunately the premises where these excellent works of art

in time November 2012

destination are exhibited have not been repaired for years if not decades.” „Kiev is a beautiful town with grandiose architecture,” says Küüsvek. „All you need to do is to find hidden gems from among the Soviet-time architecture. My personal little-known favourites are the Roman Catholic St. Nicholas Cathedral at Krasnoarmeiska street and the building of the National Bank of Ukraine at Institutska. The first building is calmly aristocratic, while the other looks slightly vain, but is still respectable.”

Green and safe „Kiev is a very safe town. Ukrainians are peaceful and not aggressive,” is Kaarlep’s message to tourists who fear the criminality of Eastern Europe. You can come from a theatre late in the evening, walk through the Shevtchenko park in the city centre where many people are drinking beer, buy ice cream for your child and go home. „Main problem areas are organized crime and business disputes,” says Kaarlep. One should still look out for pickpockets, especially in the metro, says Kaarlep. She also suggests not to speak loudly in the metro because foreigners are a special target of pickpockets. The same principle applies in the open-air market.

Agree the taxi fare in advance As for public transportation, both taxi and metro are relatively cheap, but taxi drivers like to charge foreigners 2 to 3 times more the usual fee and it’s therefore a good idea to ask for and agree on fare in advance. The rule of thumb is that a normal fare for the 30-km ride from the airport to the city centre is about 200 grivnas (so 250 grivnas is daylight robbery). Some of the more determined taxi drivers seek to attract customers already at the airport exit. Taxi rides inside the city should cost between 40 to 60 grivnas, and no more than 100 grivnas.

Kievians love nature Locals like to spend weekends outdoors, either in the form of lunch or dinner in one of many open-air restaurants outside the capital or a simple picnic with family or friends in a park. Two very popular places are the Trukhanov island in the middle of the Dniepr and the Pirogov Park in the south side. The nature in and around Kiev is

November 2012 in time

Shopping places The two main shopping streets in the city centre are underground: Metn

rograd at the Bessarabka Market and a shopping centre under Maidan. The two joining streets of Khreshchatyk and Vasylkyvska (Tshervonoarmeiska) are lined with many up-market stores. New modern malls are some 5 to 10 km outside the city centre. One of the largest is SkyMall at the Moscow Bridge that is accessible only by car or taxi. DreamTown in the Obolon district can be accessed also by metro (get off at Obolon) and Bolshevik is situated at the Peremog Avenue (closest metro station is Shuljavska).

Recommendations for making payments: When exchanging currency to grivnas you are asked to show a passport n

and whether you plan to sell remaining grivnas back later. There are many places to exchange currency in Kiev, both in banks and bureaus de change. Exchange rates vary, of course. Debit and credit cards are increasingly common. Some places require a signature in addition to PIN code, but beware of places where they want to debit your card without asking you for your PIN code. Cash is still the most popular means of payment.

destination beautiful, but, unfortunately, Kievians don’t value it, says Küüsvek. „Trash from the picnic is hidden under the nearby bushes. The Let’s Do It world cleanup campaign that Estonians are organizing for the second year has not yet reached Kiev.”

World’s best borsch and donuts When all this walking makes you hungry, step into one of the many diners that offer national food. They can be expensive, but a rich meal is usually guaranteed. Tsarski's favourite is Varenitšnaja No. 1 (opposite the sports complex). If you are looking for a more festive and expensive place, visit Tsarskoje Selo at the WWII memorial that offers national dishes, Pervak in city centre and Panas in the Shevchenko Park. The latter is surrounded by a colourful fence and a small henhouse. Near the park is the Estonian embassy. Local Estonians have a meeting once a month at Bochka pub on the main street. Italian restaurant Oliva has a very nice ambience and extremely good service. It has four locations, and the restaurant in the Podil district should always be visited first. Kaarlep says that he was particularly impressed by Restaurant Concorde (excellent food, with a nice terrace outside, but fairly expensive) and the

November 2012 in time

Oriental restaurant Tjubeteika (chebureks, normal prices and great ambience). Kaarlep’s tip: „If you walk down Andrejevska Spusk, drop into Za Dvumja Zaitsami that offers excellent borsch and local donuts. Everybody in Ukraine knows the movie by the same name. At the start of Spusk there is even a sculpture dedicated to the movie.” After a good meal head to restaurants that have live music and dancing. Ulvi Tsarski says: „One of the best places is Dejavu. La Bodequita del Medio at Jaroslav Val street has terrific Cuban atmosphere. Unfortunately, smoking is allowed everywhere.” One more thing: despite the excellent local cuisine, one may easily get the impression that Ukraine’s national food is sushi and national drink mojito – both are very common. There are also many coffee vans that sell machine coffee and sometimes cocktails. Ice cream sold in kiosks on the Khreshchatyk is definitely worth a try. Küüsvek, a resident of Kiev for five years, adds: „Kiev is a beautiful, green, respectable and interesting city. I suggest not to focus too much on service quality, roads, stray dogs, poverty, traffic jams, policing, etc. As a tourist, don’t start healing the world and take things as they are. The most important thing is to smile, and locals will smile back.”

Toomas Uibo:

lund võiks alati rohkem olla! Kui Ülemiste lennuväljal rassivad suured lumesahad, on Eesti kunagise Robertino Loretti Toomas Uibo süda rahul ja meel rõõmus.

Toomas oli viis aastat oma isaga oodatud esineja igas Eestimaa nurgas. For five years, Toomas and his father were very welcome artists in every corner of Estonia.

alvel, mil Londoni Heatrow lennujaam lumesaju tõttu kuueks päevaks suleti, kergitasid eestlased imestunult kulme. Lumesadu, nii nagu ka ööpäev läbi töötavad lumesahad on Eestis talviti täiesti tavaline pilt. Küll aga on Eestiski paljudele üllatus, et Tallinna Ülemiste lennuväljal rassivaid lumesahku tootvat ettevõtet juhatab kunagi terves Nõukogude Liidus laulmisega kuulsust kogunud Toomas Uibo.

Kandev roll oli Toomasel ka Viljandi teatri lastelavastuses „Tee õnnelikku aeda”. Väikese solisti kuulsaim laul salvestati aga 1984. aastal lastefilmis „Kevad südames”. Spetsiaalselt temale kirjutatud rollis mängis 12-aastane Toomas nohiklikku maapoissi, kelle talent avastatakse muusikalaagris pooleldi juhuslikult. Filmi tipphetkeks sai „Laul Põhjamaale” Toomas Uibo ja lastekoori „Ellerhein” esituses – meie laulupidudelgi tihti kõlava teose on helilooja Ülo Vinter kirjutanud muusikali „Pipi Pikksukk” lõpulooks.

ma üles kasvasin,” räägib Uibo. „Eks mingil hetkel hakkasid kontsertesinemised mu lapse-elu segama. Tüüpiliselt sattus esinemine ikka samale päevale, kui mõni sõber pidas sünnipäeva,” mäletab ta kuulsuse varjukülgi. Lavale jäämise plaani Toomasel ei olnud. Tema toonane lauljakarjäär lõppes koos häälemurdega. Muusikahariduse sai ta muusikakallakuga Tartu 7. keskkoolis, kus tunniplaani kuulusid ka pillimäng, solfedžo ja hääleseade. „Absoluutsest kuulmisest olen õnneks pääsenud. Tean inimesi, kellel see on – see üpriski segab tavalist muusikategemist. Sellisel inimesel on väga keeruline mängida näiteks sama lugu tooni võrra madalamalt – ta peab oma mõttes kogu muusika ringi transformeerima. Minul pole vahet, mis helistikus ma laulan.” Vahepeal ei tegelenud ta muusikaga üldse. Et aga muusika südamest nii kergesti ei kao, tuli ilmsiks tänavu, kui kevadiseks turunduskonverentsiks kutsuti üles looma „turundusbände”. „Üks sõber pani Facebooki kutse, et kes tahab bändi teha, tulge kokku, lähme konkursile. Kirjutasin naljaga pooleks vastu, et mina võin tulla küll, võin näiteks mäkra mängida ja kui vaja, siis kaasa ümiseda,” naljatleb Uibo. Kokku tulnud bänd sai nimeks MUSTus. Esimeses proovis selgus, et basskitarr jäi üle. Toomas võttis selle kätte – ja armus. „Mõtlesin: kui keeruline see ikka olla saab. Asi hakkas aga nii kangesti meeldima, et ostsin endale pilli ja nüüd harjutan praktiliselt iga päev. Basskitarr on lahedaim asi, mis ma olen viimasel ajal avastanud!”

persoon Rootsis tisleriks Muusika on vaid üks Toomase kirgedest. Teine neist on puidutöö. „Mu vanaisa oli filigraanne puutöömees, kes õpetas mind lapsena puidust igasuguseid asju meisterdama. Tema pedantsus pisiasjades on mulle kaasa antud. Vanaisa tööriistad on maal alles. Nii, et kui ma kord pensionile lähen, hakkan uuesti mööblit tegema.” jutustab mees. Puidutööst sai juhuse tahtel ka tema esimene leivatöö – nimelt elas ta pärast Eestis kooli lõpetamist viis aastat Rootsis, kus alustas tisleri abilisena väikeses puidufirmas. Eesti väikeettevõtted olid neil aastatel paljuski veel suhkruvatti tootvate kooperatiivide nägu. Skandinaavias sai Toomas aga jälgida tänapäevase ettevõtte tegevust ja juhtimist. ”Ma olen näinud tööelu kõiki pooli ja see on mind ainult rikastanud. Ükskõik mida ma teen, püüan teha hingega. Ei ole võimalik olla hea juht, kui sa pole ise kõike kogenud,” arvab Toomas. Ta nägi, missugune on professionaalne müügitöö ja kuidas peaks toimima klienditeenindus, omandas inglise ja rootsi ärikeele. Muide, Estonian Airi lennukite ohutusinfo rootsikeelse teksti on sisse lugenud just Toomas Uibo.

Bestseller – lörtsisahk Rootsis õpitu andis Eestisse naastes hea baasi oma mööbliettevõtte rajamiseks. Mööblifirma omaniku ja ärijuhina ta pikka aega tegutseski, kuni kuus aastat tagasi otsustas proovida palgatööd. Täna on Toomas Eesti ühe edukaima eksportija Meiren Engineering (www.meiren.ee) tegevjuht ja juhatuse liige. Uhkemalt võib öelda, et ta juhib kogu Skandinaavia võitlust põhjamaise lumega. Nimelt on tööstusseadmeid projekteeriva ja ehitava Meireni üheks tooteks lumesahad. Need veoautode ja traktorite ette kinnitatavad sahad on algusest lõpuni Eesti inseneride mõttetöö vili ja Eestis valmistatud ning neid müüakse kõigis Põhjamaades, Balti riikides. Sellest kevadest alates sihitakse ka Saksamaa turgu. Rootsis on Meiren kasvanud isegi üheks suurimaks maanteesahkade müüjaks. „Meil on õnnestunud väga hea tootega väga head müüki teha,” ütleb Toomas Uibo. „Meie bestseller on maanteesahk, mida paljud kutsuvad ka lörtsisahaks – see sobib nii soolatatavatele kiirteedele kui metsavaheteedele.” Eesti inseneride disain ja innovatsioon annavad kokku sellise tulemuse, et Meireni sahk jätab väga puhta jälje. Tänu sellele on liiklus ohutum,

teed on vaja vähem soolata ja keskkond kannatab vähem. „Karmis konkurentsis pole aga aega edu nautida. Tootearendusel peab olema täiskäik kogu aeg sees. Vastasel korral langed konkurentsist,” lausub Uibo. Kui Tallinna Lennujaamas talvel aknast välja vaadata, siis need on just Meireni sahad, mis hoiavad maandumisrajad puhtana.

Rikkis äratuskell Toomas Uibo mäletab lapsepõlvest eriliselt hästi ühte Elva vanaema vana äratuskella. See oli nimelt rikki läinud. 6-7-aastasel poisil tekkis kange isu see korda teha ning ta võttis kella pisikesteks jup-

pideks. Lugu äratuskellaga aga lõppes nii, nagu sellised lood tavaliselt lõpevad – jupid ei tahtnud enam tagasi kokku sobida. Aga Toomas mäletab siiamaani oma suurt tahtmist mehhanismi loogikast aru saada. See on tema kolmas kirg – tehnika. „Mind on kogu aeg huvitanud, mis on asjade sees ja kuidas nad toimivad,” lausub Uibo. Mees, kes müüb innovatiivset inseneritööd, peabki lapsena olema äratuskelli lahti võtnud. Töö sellises firmas nagu Meiren eeldab, et klientidelt kogutaks palju tehnilist infot – on vaja insenertehnilist taiplikkust, et kliendi soovid võimalikult selgelt inseneridele kommunikeerida. Nii suureneb võimalus kohe esimesel korral valmis saada täpselt kliendi vajadustele vastav toode - right first time.

persoon Toomas Uibol on see taiplikkus olemas. Ta võiks näiteks lennuki mootorist jutustada tundide viisi. Samuti meeldib talle projekteerida ja joonestada – oma mööblifirmas kavandas ta palju mööblit ise. Masinate hulgas, mida ta algkoolis koos sõpradega kokku keevitas, leidus mitmeid algelisi lennumasinaid – ratastele kinnitati tiivad, et mäest alla sõites tranduletiga võimalikult kaugele hüpata, võimalust mööda isegi lendu tõusta. Tänu taevale, need projektid jäid pooleli. Kuid lendamise isu ei kadunud kuhugi ja sellest kujunes Toomas Uibo järgmine kirg.

Piloot ja ärijuht 2001. aastal viis mees oma unistuse täide ning omandas Eesti lennukoolis piloodi paberid. Paar aastat hiljem tegi ta Rootsis lisaks veel instruktorikursuse läbi ja nüüd õpetab teisi inimesi lendama. „Lennundus on valdkond, mis inimesele tänavalt tundub müstiline,” mõtiskleb ta. „Mul tuleb tihti selgitada lendamise saladust, miks on asjad just nii ja mitte naa.” Lennuki ja ettevõtte juhtimine on tema sõnul väga haakuvad teemad. „Sa pead hulga inimesi turvaliselt viima punktist A punkti B. Seejuures on sul lisaks plaanile A alati kuklas ka plaan B: kui peaks juhtuma see, siis ma teen seda ja seda…” See on väga sarnane ärijuhtimisele, see on nii piloodi kui ka ettevõtte juhi töö veealune osa. Piloodil peab olema tugev respekt ning enesedistsipliin – ise tuleb vastutada ning otsustada. Ettevõtte omanikke võiks võrrelda lennujuhtimiskeskusega, kellega peab olema pidev kontakt ning ühises keeles suhtlus. Sisuliselt antakse ka ettevõtte juhile omanike poolt lennundustermineid kasutades „loapiirid”. Nii nagu õhusõiduki kaptenil, nii ka ettevõtte juhil peab aga jääma õigus rikkuda loapiiri, juhul kui see säästab elusid või väldib kahjusid. Seega – päeva lõpus peab kapten otsustama ja vastutama. „Oluline on mõlemas rollis järgida kindlaid protseduure: teha õigeid asju õigel ajal, midagi vahele jätmata. Lennunduses tuleb aga lisaks säilitada respekti looduse vastu,” lisab Toomas. Tallinna Aeronautikaklubi lennukoolis loeb Toomas Uibo erapilootidele seadusi ja reegleid ning annab praktilisi lennutunde. Oma lennuk on tal olemas – kahe sõbraga kahasse ostetud neljainimeselennuk Socata TB 9. „Niisama lõbu pärast ma enam õhku ei tõu-

se. Käin ikka asja pärast – Saaremaal elavale isale külla, äriasjus Rootsi, suvel Gotlandile, sõpradega koos Eesti väikesaartele puhkama… Lendamine on tohutult vabastav tegevus.” Lennuinstruktorina on tal tekkinud veel üks plaan. Olles elus kohtunud paljude inimestega, kellel hirm ei lase lendamist nautida, tahab ta korraldada lennuhirmu võitmise kursuse. „Teatud ärevust tunnevad enne lennureisi paljud inimesed, kuid mõnikord võib lennuhirm saada elus päris suureks takistuseks. On neidki, kes peavad töökohta vahetama, kui ametiga kaasneb palju lendamist. Hirmul võib olla mitut sorti põhjusi, aga ma keskendun inimestele, kelle hirmud tulenevad teadmatusest,” selgitab ta. Põhimõte on selles, et inimene kardab tundmatuid asju. Kui tundmatust saab tuttav, kaob ka hirm. Toomase kursusel pakutakse inimestele üldteadmisi lendamisest, lennuki kapten räägib, mis toimub lennu ajal kabiinis ja psühholoog õpetab, kuidas sundmõtetest ja ärevusest jagu saada. Ükskõik, kas sinu ees on mööblitükk, lennuk või lumesahk – täiuslikult toimiv tervik moodustub tuhandest pisidetailist. Neid detaile meeldib Neitsi tähtkujus sündinud Toomasele korrapäraselt kokku laduda. Praegu, talve tulekul ütleb ta aga vaid üht: „Lund võiks alati rohkem olla.”

There is never enough snow! 50

When heavy-duty snowploughs are working hard in Tallinn Airport, it’s music to Toomas Uibo's ears, Estonia’s own Robertino Loretti.

stonians could not believe the news when a snowstorm closed down the London Heathrow Airport for six days. Snow, like snowploughs that work day and night, are a natural part of the Estonian winter. What is surprising for many is that the company that manufactures the snowploughs operating in Ülemiste is run by Toomas Uibo who was once famous for his voice in the whole Soviet Union.

The child becomes a star Thirty years ago the name of Toomas Uibo (41) was known all over Estonia. His tender soprano that could hit upper H was compared with that of Robertino Loretti, an Italian wonderchild. In 1981 the silver-voiced boy and his father Väino Uibo, a singer and actor, performed together in the musical Singing to Befriend Night and Day in Ugala. A CD with the soundtrack of this musical has been released 31 years later. Toomas also starred in Viljandi threatre’s children’s performance Road to Happy Garden. The most famous song of the young artist was recorded in 1984 in the children’s film Spring in the Heart. In the role that was specially written for him, Toomas played a 12-year-old geeky rural boy whose talent is accidentally discovered in a musical camp. The film’s culmination was the Song of the Northern Land which Toomas Uibo performed with the children’s choir Ellerhein. Composer Ülo Vinter had written this song to be the

final song of the musical of Pippi Longstocking. The same song has also been included in the program of our song festivals. The same film also featured Märt Uibo, Toomas’s younger brother and current colleague. Toomas says that the pinnacle of his career was a solo concert in one of Moscow’s grandest halls with the world-famous symphony orchestra of Moscow Philarmonics, performing such classical works like Schubert’s „Ave Maria” or di Capua’s „O sole mio”.

30 years of musical pause Thinking back, Toomas Uibo recalls his career on stage as an interesting phase that had an impact on his whole life. „Thanks to singing I met many theatrical and artistic people. They have an entirely different worldview. Frequent visitors in our Tartu kitchen were Hando Runnel, Ain Kaalep, EnnKaarel Hellat and many other people considered to be the soul of Tartu. I grew up hearing them talk,” says Uibo. „At some point my concerts started to interfere with my life as a child. Usually, whenever some of my friends had a birthday, I had a concert,” he adds, recalling the pitfalls of fame. Toomas never had any plans to stay on stage. His singing career ended when his voice broke. He got his musical education in Tartu Secondary School No. 7 that taught courses of musical instruments, writing and reading music and singing. „Fortunately, I did not have absolute hearing. I know people who have it and find it disturbing. For instance, it would be difficult for them to play the same tune a key lower because they need to

transform the whole music in their mind. I don’t mind in which key I sing.” There was a period when Toomas was not involved in music at all. But he always had music inside him, for example, this spring he joined an improvised band for competing at a marketing conference. „On Facebook, a friend suggested we put together an improvised band and attend a competition. I replied half-joking, that I could come and hum along if necessary,” Uibo says, laughing. The band was named MUSTus. The first rehearsal showed that they lacked a base-player. Toomas took the role and fell in love. „I thought, how hard could it be. I started to like it, so I bought the instrument and now I am practicing every day.

Base guitar is the coolest thing that I have recently discovered!”

A carpenter in Sweden Music is only one of the passions for Toomas. He has many and one of them is carpentry. „My grandfather was a master carpenter who taught me to carve out interesting items from wood when I was young. His pedantry in small details has been passed on to me. I still have my grandfather’s tools at the countryside. So, when I retire one day, I will start making furniture again,” he says. By accident, woodworking was also his first real job: namely, after graduating secondary school in Estonia he lived in Sweden for five years where he found a job as an assistant to a carpenter in a small woodworking firm. At that time Estonian small enterprises were still mainly producing cotton candy. Scandinavia gave Toomas a chance to

person study how to manage a company. „I have seen all sides of working life and it has enriched me. I put my soul in everything I do. You cannot be a good managing director if you have not experienced it yourself,” believes Toomas. He saw professional salesmanship and customer service in action and learned also English and Swedish business language. By the way, Toomas Uibo has recorded the safety information in Swedish that you hear on Estonian Air aircraft before takeoff.

Slushplough – a real bestseller His studies in Sweden gave him a good foundation for setting up his own furniture company in Estonia. He was running a furniture company for some time, until six years ago he decided to become an employee. Today, Toomas is the managing director and board member of Meiren Engi-

neering, one of Estonia’s most successful exporters (www.meiren.ee). You could even say that he is leading the battle with snow of the whole Scandinavia. Because Meiren, a company that designs and manufactures industrial equipment produces snowploughs. The devices attached to trucks and tractors are designed and made in Estonia and sold everywhere in the Baltic countries and Scandinavia. Starting from this spring the company expanded sales also to Germany. In Sweden, Meiren has become one of the largest sellers of road ploughs. „We have managed to sell this great product very well,” says Toomas Uibo. „Our bestselling item is a road snowplough that many call a slushplough as it suits both highways and forest roads.” The design and innovation of Estonian engineers makes it possible for the Meiren plough to leave a very clean track. This helps making traf-

person fic safer, roads need less salt and the environment suffers less. „Competition is tough and there is no time to enjoy success. Product development must work at full speed, otherwise you fall behind in competition,” says Uibo. If you look outside the window at Tallinn Airport in the winter, you can see Meiren’s ploughs keeping runways clean.

A broken alarm clock From his childhood Toomas recalls an old broken alarm clock at his grandmother’s place in Elva. He was 6 or 7 when he decided to fix it and so he took it apart. But, as usual, the assembling failed. Toomas says that since his boyhood he has always wanted to understand the internal logic of mechanical devices. This is his third great passion: engineering. „I have always been interested in knowing what is inside things and how they work,” he explains. Most men who sell innovative engineering inventions have probably disassembled alarm clocks when young. Working in a company such as Meiren requires collecting a lot of technical information from customers and a lot of technical skills to communicate customer wishes to engineers. This way the possibility that the first solution is the right one is bigger. Toomas Uibo has this skill. He could talk about aircraft engines for hours. He also likes to design and draw. In his furniture company he used to design a lot himself. The machines that he welded together with his friends in the elementary school included several simple flying vehicles: they attached wings to wheels so they could ride downhill and jump as long as possible or even fly a little. Thank God that these projects were never completed. But his interest to fly did not disappear and it became his next big passion.

Pilot and business manager In 2001 the man realized his dream to fly and acquired a pilot’s license in an aviation school in Estonia. A few years later he also underwent an instructor’s course in Sweden and is now teaching other people to fly. „Aviation is a mystery for people. I often have to explain the secret of flying or why things are the way they are,” he adds.

Travel recommendations by Toomas Uibo n Stockholm was my home town for more than a year and it is always great to go back. It is really difficult to prefer some attraction to others. But if you are looking for a serious gourmet experience, I recommend Vassa Eggen Stake House located at Birger Jarlsgatan 29. It’s priceless!

n London. At the beginning of 1990s I was an exchange student in Brighton and often visited London at weekends. I am sure that the underground nightclubs that were hugely popular back then have changed names by now so my tips are hopelessly outdated. But even 20 years later I still recommend to get to know this metropolis because it has a great history, but is also very modern. There is only one London.

n Tbilisi. My memories of Georgia, this country that is so friendly to Estonia, date back to the start of 1980s when I visited Tbilisi with the Tartu Boys' Choir. It is a place I’d like to visit again. It is said that, as an Estonian, you always feel as a welcome visitor there. The overflowing emotionality of Georgians is certain to energize us, Scandinavians, and some domestic problem could become marginal after a visit to Georgia.

n Oslo. Meiren’s snowploughs keep the traffic arteries of this city snow-free for the third winter. I travel to Oslo often to visit my customers. Norway and snow are like synonyms which is why my recommendation is to test the ski-jumping simulator in the Holmenkollen ski museum, no matter your age. This is an experience that you will not forget!

n Copenhagen is the place that for many Estonians remains a transit hub, but it deserves a visit as a separate destination. This city is especially beautiful before Christmas and there are no capitals nearby that would be shinier and more pulsating than Copenhagen. In December, this city is living in an unbelievable Christmas buzz. Allow yourself a glass of mulled wine in the Old Town under the heat radiators and you will become one with this city.

person He says that managing a company and piloting an aircraft are similar in many ways. „As a pilot, you need to take a number of people safely from point A to point B. You also need to always have a plan B in case things don’t happen the way you

expect them to...” This is very similar to managing a business. A pilot must have strong respect and self-discipline, you have to be responsible and able to make your own decisions. Company owners are like the flight control centre that require constant contact and a common language. In aviation terms, the owner of the company gives CEO his operating limits. But similarly to the captain of an aircraft, the managing director must have the right to exceed the operating limits if it is necessary to save lives or avoid damages. In short – at the end of the day it is the captain that must decide and take responsibility. „In both roles, it is important to observe fixed procedures: do the right things at the right time and not omit anything. You need to maintain respect for nature,” adds Toomas. In the flight school of the Tallinn Aeronautics Club, Uibo lectures law and regulations to private pilots and gives practical flight lessons. He also has a private aircraft: a Socata TB 9 that he bought together with two friends and that seats four people. „I am no longer flying for fun anymore. There's usually a reason – to visit my father in Saaremaa, go to Sweden for business, to Gotland for summer, to Estonian small islands to meet with friends… Flying is such a release.” As a flight instructor, he has come up with another plan. Having met many people in his life who are afraid of flying, Toomas wants to organise a course for overcoming fear of flying. „Many people feel certain anxiety before the flight, but sometimes it can become a major obstacle in life. There are people who need to change jobs to avoid flying. Fear may have many reasons, but I am focusing on people whose fears are based on lack of knowledge,” he explains. Usually people are afraid of the unknown. If it becomes familiar to them, the fear disappears. In his course, he offers general knowledge of aviation, then a captain talks about what happens in the cockpit during the flight and a psychologist explains how to overcome compulsive thoughts and anxiety. It does not matter if we talk about furniture, aircraft or a snowplough – it is an integrated complex that consists of thousands of small details. Toomas who was born as a Virgo likes to assemble these details. But now, with the winter approaching, all he says is: „There is never enough snow.”

Traditional Estonian industry

Tallinn Airport showcases traditional Estonian industry Estonian industry, its tradition and daily operations are being showcased at the VKG gate at Tallinn Airport. Estonia’s oil shale industry owes its existence to a natural catastrophe that led to the extinction of the most common Palaeozoic organisms – trilobites. There were more than 10,000 species of them at the time. Trilobites became extinct hundreds of millions of years ago, and this extraordinary process did not affect Estonia alone, but made its mark on the whole world. The spread of trilobites is also evidenced by the fact that if we calculated all oil shale reserves in barrels, they would exceed the world’s oil reserves by three to four times. At present, there are only four countries that are actively using their reserves: Estonia, Brazil, China and Israel. Estonian oil shale is like gold compared to the reserves of other countries. We already use it to produce raw materials for the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and automotive industries. The curiosity of our engineers has helped them develop techniques that can be used to make ﬁne chemicals from oil shale, which can be used for numerous things from UV ﬁlters to car tyres. The residue created in oil shale processing is ideal for cement and concrete production, and the latter is currently being tested in road construction.

At the end of the 19th century, the vodka distillery at Kukruse Manor, which belonged to Baron Robert von Tolli, started using oil shale as fuel. This fuel was very useful for the household and the Baron used the extra money he made from the distillery to support the polar expeditions of his famous brother, Eduard Gustav von Tolli. The engineers of the young Republic of Estonia learnt from the experience of the inventive baron and the ﬁrst plant was set up as early as 1924. The town of Kohtla-Järve later developed around the plant. It seems that there is something special about our industry, because it has attracted many well-known engineers, including Märt Raud and Paul Kogerman, who became the leaders and patriots of the oil shale industry. There have been highs and lows in the history of the oil shale industry, but the highs certainly outnumber the lows. Local industry is now looking further than the production of fuel oil, not to mention electricity. As all Lexus cars already contain products made of Estonian oil shale chemicals, many local cars may be driving on our own oil shale diesel in a few years’ time. Our development plans suggest that this could well happen. Estonian oil shale is like gold!

Estonia No-one knows where an Estonian may be hiding his or her sauna. It could be in a fancy office of a skyscraper, in an apartment of a residential building, in the basement of an embassy or in a firetruck. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certain is that an Estonian is never without a sauna. And you can be sure that when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re invited to a sauna, get naked and head to the steamroom, this friendship is forever.

Sauna,

the hidden secret of Estonians

racking the historic development of sauna and sauna culture, Estonia can be divided into South, North, islands, and the saunaless Northwest. Saunas differ from building technology and everything else, sometimes being made into complete home spas. Ancient Estonians used saunas to give birth, to sweat, to cure, to bewitch and to die. In addition to electric sauna stoves, showers and boilers, many

November 2012 in time

summerhouses also have a ritual sauna that must be heated for several hours with real firewood and where the family or friends can spend the whole Saturday evening, sweating and washing. A proper sauna includes a viht which is a bundle of birch twigs with fresh leaves for gently slapping your skin to create further stimulation of the pores and cells. To cure rheumatism, you can use oak, junipers or even the stinging nettle. It is also said that you should get out of the sauna before darkness because this is when the spirits of the

Estonia dead come to wash. Some Estonians have been heating a sauna for their forefathers on the All Souls’ Day. There are people who prefer to stay in the sauna longer so they can talk to sauna spirits. In modern times, the sauna spirit is often a stone shaped like a man’s face and holds aromatic oils. A sauna cleanses both body and mind, but don’t go to sauna angry as the sauna spirit could smear the walls. The essential part of a sauna experience is the heat. Sauna heat has the power to purify a human soul and it is a sacred place for cleansing both the body and mind. While traditionally people have sauna before the holidays and on the weekends, in some areas people go to sauna also in Midsummer Day, Christmas Day, and in the New Year’s Eve. For some, sauna is more important than church. In Soviet times, all richer collective farms and organizations had big sauna cabins in the countryside. Saunas were often used to seal important deals with executives from Moscow. Saunas may have lost some of their importance in today’s business culture, but men who do not stand heat or alcohol usually do not qualify as a business partner. There are no clothes, ties or epaulets in the steamroom and talk is direct.

The mysterious smoke sauna Smoke saunas are mysterious even for Estonians themselves because you can find them mainly in Southern Estonia, Võru and Setomaa. Many old smoke saunas in the south have been bought, taken to pieces and re-assembled somewhere else. A smoke sauna is usually a small hut that is located away from other farm buildings at a water body. While great to jump in after sweating, water is important also because every smoke sauna is said to burn at least once. Smoke saunas and the legends that surround them are so rare that there were plans to include them in the UNESCO cultural heritage together with the Seto song, Kihnu ethnic community, song festivals and Tallinn Old Town. Smoke saunas are special because they have no chimney and flames are heating stove stones so that smoke enters the sauna room. This makes vapour soft and kind to your bones and muscles. Old smoke saunas with sooted logs and small windows have a special aroma.

A smoke sauna is heated between 6 and 10 hours and remains hot for a long time. They can also be used for smoking meat. It takes lots of firewood to heat up a smoke sauna. The sauna is ready when the water in the stove kettle starts to boil. In some parts of the country, they let the logs saturate with heat and go to sauna only after several hours. To remove smoke from the sauna, a traditional first steam followed by a sauna spell must be performed. Heating the smoke sauna is an art that is passed from generation to generation and requires

total focus. The heat of a smoke sauna is softer than in the sizzling hot Finnish sauna, but thoroughly cleanses the body and the soul. Sometimes the air gets so hot that logs start to leak resin. Truly ancient smoke saunas also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a water system that destroys old crossbeam buildings, so you often have to drag water with buckets or wash in some other place.

From Finnish to mysterious Saare sauna The most common type of sauna used in Estonia is the Finnish sauna known for its dry heat with

temperatures in excess of 100 degrees Celsius. Usually saunas also have a cooler washing area and a relaxation room with a fireplace. Men usually compete as to who can stand the biggest heat. While heat-lovers would take higher seats, women and children stay on lower levels. Some protect their heads with woolen hats, while others use hats made of rabbit fur or linen. Water to be poured on stove stones must be hot and for aromatic purposes may include beer, aromatic oils or herbs. Regular summerhouse sauna stoves can also heat up a whole tank of water, but they remain hot only when burning. Closed stoves, special metal stoves for storing heat or sauna stoves that weigh several tons are relatively rare, but

remain hot for at least a day. During the Soviet times, Estonia’s largest island Saaremaa was a border zone, accessible only by permits. This has created many legends about its saunas. There is even a song that says people who have never been in Saaremaa nor seen the bare navel of a local lady, have seen nothing. In the western part of Saaremaa they even use the sauna stove to bake bread consisting of potatoes, Baltic herrings, smoked meat, onions and sometimes egg and flour. After losing a few kilograms in a sauna, it’s a treat.

Russian banya Although the history of Estonians and Russians goes back a long way, Russian sauna or banya is fairly uncommon in Estonia. The best banya in Tallinn is in the Sauna Village operated by Saunamaailm that has a stove which weighs eight tons. The temperature in a Russian sauna is between 55 and 70 degrees Celsius and heat is generated from vapor when water is thrown on the rocks inside the stove. The hotter the stones the smaller the steam particles and the hotter and drier the sauna.

Un l i ke in an Estonian sauna, stones in a banya are not on top, but inside the stove and the stove door is opened only for throwing water. The steam rises to the ceiling and is beaten down immediately with a towel or a sauna twig. Some Russian saunas have slanted boards on the ceiling that guide the vapor downward. In the Soviet Union, the cult comedy „Fate’s Irony, or Have a Nice Sauna” was an integral part of the New Year’s Eve TV schedule. It’s about the adventures of a man who gets drunk after a sauna on New Year's Eve and is put on a plane by his similarly inebriated pals. He ends up in the wrong city and falls in love with a woman who finds him, staggeringly drunk, in her apartment. Not surprisingly, there are still many men going to municipal saunas in New Year’s Eve, with sauna twigs in their briefcase. It’s a tradition, you see.

Hot tubs like a kettle from hell There’s a joke that when you go to hell, you can tell Estonians from others by the fact that they like it there as it’s hot and no-one’s trying to leave.

While there used to be public municipal saunas in every part of Tallinn, only a few remain. The nicest of these municipal baths is the Kalma sauna in Kalamaja district that was built in 1928. It has separate areas for men and women, includes massage parlous and hourly saunas with private pools. It’s not as famous as the Budapest thermal baths, but you get the idea.

Those who have watched the broadcasts of World Championships in Cross-Country Skiing in Otepää, Estonia’s winter capital, know that this wild nation has a habit of sitting naked in a round wooden tub filled with hot water in the middle of winter. Although it was the Japanese who started the hot tub culture, wooden hot tubs are now a familiar sight in many Estonian tourist farm-

houses and homes. There is nothing better than roam a day on flooded meadows and ride a canoe in icy waters, and then relax in a local smoke sauna and watch the stars in a hot tub made of pine, on top of a cosy fire. There may be snowflakes falling softly from the sky and a few ice blocks could be sailing past in the river. The moments when you can feel fire, air, water and earth all combined are rare.

A 6-hour sauna marathon in snowy Otepää Otepää, the winter capital of Estonia, has been n

hosting the European sauna marathon for three years. Usually held in February, in the coldest month, it is attended by 500 people and 137 teams, with the start at the Pühajärve Spa Hotel. Sirje Ginter from Otepää Culture Centre that organin ses the event says that in recent years the sauna marathon has been held in freezing temperatures. „Some sauna owners had to cancel because their waterpipes had burst, roads were snowed in or ice holes they made were immediately frozen,” recalls Ginter. There are usually between 10 and 16 local saunas and n spas that participate. Sauna owners have the obligation to keep saunas hot for six hours, from noon to 6 pm. Teams have four members, and until now the competition has been free. Teams are handed out sauna maps, they must find all required locations and must register their visit at the sauna owner. Attending at least one heating session in every sauna is compulsory and additional points are given for getting into hot tubs, ice holes and other attractions.

„There are those who take it easy and visit only a few saunas. n

And then there are others who race against time,” says Ginter, adding that the competition is actually sauna orientation as all saunas in the list must be found. There are prizes in every category, ranging from the fastest n competitors to the most stylish bathers and for best foreigners. „It’s an opportunity to obtain different, even extreme experiences from wood-burning, electric saunas, smoke saunas, infrared saunas and steam saunas, hot tubs, ice holes and spa saunas,” adds Ginter.

An Estonian proverb

says an empty sack doesn’t stand up. At the restaurant Kaerajaan, this folk saying is kept in mind and it is seen to that the guests could enjoy the delicious food to the fullest. The modern Estonian kitchen is an exciting combination of Estonian and world tastes. The menu allows joy of recognition to every guest, as well as a moment of surprise. All dishes are based on well-known raw materials and recipes, but cooked and served in a modern key. Our own traditional food culture consists mostly of potatoes and preserved food from the forest or the sea – foods that have the potential to taste great but tend to become slightly monoto-

nous in the long run. Being able to impress and deliver the unexpected has become a big part of today’s restaurant dining experience. The chef of Kaerajaan Jaak Hiibus has put aside foreign influences, such as olive oil, foie gras and sun-dried tomatoes in favor of Estonian ingredients: mushrooms, berries, and wild boar from our forests; slow-growing fish from our cold waters; and milk from cows grazing in our pastures. The real feat of the New Estonian Cuisine, the thing that makes it “new”, is that it avoids the dullness mentioned earlier. In a way, the fact that the food is good, is a given. What makes a difference is the atmosphere and here the restaurant Kaerajaan displays many wonderful design elements and solutions inspired by national patterns. The warm cardigans and mittens surrounding the lamps and the centuriesold limestone walls make you feel cosy and safe while watching people mill about in the Old Town Square. The new Nordic cuisine movement is a food and design phenomenon, but it also says something about us Estonians as people. No longer are we looking outside of our borders to find new experiences; we have finally started to appreciate what we have at home and, what’s more, believe that it can be something worth showing to others as well. Delicious food lifts the spirits – this is the motto of restaurant Kaerajaan and they look forward to seeing you soon! Text: Tanel Unt

Kolm Eesti disainerit jagavad meestele stiilitarkust Tekst / Text: Tanel Veenre, Eesti Päevaleht • Fotod / Photos: Olga Makina, Kalle Veesaar, Baltman

Kalle Aasamäe: Salliga saab imet teha! Kalle Aasamäe loob meesterõivaid eelkõige mugavaks igapäevaseks kandmiseks. n Kuid tema jaoks on kõige olulisem vormi ja sisu tasakaal: „Riietus on küll oluline osa inimese mainest, kuid ainuüksi sellest võib jääda väheks. Mulle on olulised ka sellised väärtused, mis esmapilgul varjatud. Mis kasu on stiilsest välimusest, kui seal taga on tühjus. Stiilne inimene on tasakaalus välimuse ja sisemusega nii, et ka teised seda näevad.“ Praeguses meestemoes rõõmustab Aasamäed 1970-1980-ndate aastate tagasitulek. „Pintsakud laiade revääridega, püksid laiema sääreosaga ning lõikeline lihtsus ilma liigse müra ja detailirohkuseta. Ära on kadunud liigne androgüünsus.“ Aasamäe lemmikdetail on sall. See lihtne ese annab hea võimaluse tervikut ümber mängida, sellega saab lisada värvi või lohakat elegantsi muidu liiga rangele välimusele. Disainer soovitab meestel pöörata enam tähelepanu ehetele mansetinööpidest prossideni – väike kirss tordil muudab välimuse palju isikupärasemaks.

Kalle Aasamäe: A scarf can work wonders! Kalle Aasamäe designs men’s clothing mainly for casual daily wear. For n him, the most important thing is the balance between form and essence: „Clothes are an important part of a person’s image, but it’s not everything. One must also have inner values. What’s the use of stylish looks if there is nothing behind it? The worst is when a person opens his or her mouth and just blabs. A stylish person has a balance between their outside and inside, so that also others can see it.“ Aasamäe says that he is happy to see men’s fashion of 1970s and 1980s making a comeback. „Jackets with wide lapels, pants with wider legs and simplicity in lines without too much noise or details. No more excessive androgyny.“ Aasamäe’s favourite detail is scarf. This simple piece of clothing allows to shift the focus and add colour or casual elegance to formal wear. He suggests to turn more attention to accessories, from cuff links to brooches as even a small cherry on the cake can make looks much more unique.

mood / fashion Antonio / Baltman: Stiil algab peast Eesti suurima meestemoe kaubamärgi disaineri Antonio käekirjas kohtub põhjan maiselt karge minimalism itaalialiku ülevoolavusega. Analüüsides stiili, peab Antonio oluliseks, et riiete sees peab olema eelkõige nendega klappiv isiksus – mees peab kandma riideid, mitte vastupidi. Stiil on ainult peas, mitte kusagil mujal. Ja parafraseerib seepeale üht Eesti kirjanikku: mehe teeb stiilseks mees ise. Antonio toob selle sügistalve meestemoes välja kaks põhisuunda: dändilik ja värskendatud retro. Disainerid on tagasi pöördunud elegantse hästiistuva silueti juurde ning siin on Victoria ja Edwardi aegsest inglise aristokraatiast inspireeritud ülikond asendamatu. Meestemoodi mõjutavad ka inglise aadlike veidi igapäevasemad ning maisemad rõivad. Kui Antonio soovitaks mõnd eriti ägedat detaili, siis tasuks investeerida kootud lipsu ja viksitud ümara ninaga veinipunastesse kingadesse.

Antonio / Baltman: Style starts in your mind Designs by Antonio, Estonia’s largest men’s fashion brand, combine Scandinan vian minimalism with Italian exuberance. According to Antonio, in terms of style, clothing must reflect the personality of the wearer: it’s the man who wears the clothes, not vice versa. Style only exists in people’s minds. Or, paraphrasing an Estonian novelist: only the man himself can make a man stylish. Antonio points out two main directions in this year's fall and winter trends for men: dandy style and refreshed retro. Designers have re-discovered elegant well-fitting silhouettes and this is where a Victorian men’s suit inspired by the British aristocracy is simply invaluable. Men’s fashion is also influenced by everyday casual clothing of the British nobility. When asked for some especially jazzy details, Antonio recommends to invest in a knitted tie and polished Bordeaux red rounded shoes.

Kuldma käekiri toitub elu püsiväärtustest, teadlik konservatiivsus olgu vundament mängulisusele. Stiilse ülikonna valem on tema arvates väga kvaliteetne materjal, perfektne lõige ja istuvus ning julged kombinatsioonid värvitoonides ja mustrites. Kusjuures maksimalistina lisab ta, et mitte ükski komponent selles valemis ei tohi nõrgaks jääda – kui ei ole võimalik täispangale minna, siis tasub loobuda ülikonna kandmisest ja eelistada vabamat sportlikku joont. Olulised toonid hetkemoes on Kuldma sõnul murtud pruunid ja sinakad hallid, kangastest flanelli meenutavad ruudulised villakangad ja tviidid ning mustritest igiaktuaalsed triibud-ruudud. Kuldma ei pea oluliseks trendituultes laperdamist, täpne istuvus ja disain on märksa olulisemad. Värskendava detailina soovitab Kuldma šiki olemisega villa-siidi segu matte ja struktuursete mustritega lipse. Ning kui lips peaks ahistama, saab luua väga elegantse terviku särgikangast taskurätina pintsaku rinnataskus kandes.

Katrin Kuldma / Amanjeda: Discreet luxury Katrin Kuldma makes essence and form stylish by self-confidence, clarity n and a sense of humour. Kuldma’s handwriting is rather minimalist, for her tradition is the foundation of playfulness. Her formula for a stylish men’s suit is high-quality fabric, a perfect cut and fit accompanied by daring colours and patterns. As a perfectionist, she says that all components of this formula must be equally strong – otherwise you can just hang the suit up and opt for more casual wear. The current trends are dominated by broken brown and bluish grey colours, tweed and checked woollen fabrics that resemble flannel and perennial stripes and checks as patterns. Kuldma doesn't approve always following the trends and says that a perfect fit and a good design are much more important. As a refreshing component, Kuldma recommends chic mixes of wool and silk and ties with structured patterns. If a tie is too constricting, she suggests creating an elegant impression by wearing a handkerchief made of the same fabric as the shirt in the breast pocket.

Tuttav rada Apple tõi turule kauaoodatud iPhone 5, n mis ühest küljest ei üllata väga millegagi, kuid on samas loogiline ja selge edasiminek võrreldes vana iPhone 4S-iga. Uue, kohe müügirekordeid löönud kultustelefoni ekraan on suurem, ulatudes äärtest telefoni servadeni välja. 4-tollise ekraani eraldusvõime on 1136 x 640 pikslit, mis teeb külgede suhteks 16:9 ehk varasemast mugavam on sellega videot vaadata ning ekraanile mahub täpselt üks ikooniriba rohkem kui iPhone 4S-il. Uus A6 protsessor on iPhone 4S-i omast lausa kaks korda kiirem ja ka muutmälu on topelt, varasema 512 MB asemel 1 GB, lisaks on iPhone'il lõpuks ometi 4G tugi. Uus iOS 6.0 operatsioonisüsteem on saanud üksjagu kriitikat, eelkõige Apple'i enda kaardirakenduse Maps pärast. Iphone 5 on saadaval kahes värvitoonis – must ja valge – ning kolmes versioonis: 16, 32 ja 64 GB andmemahuga. Hinnad algavad 680 eurost.

paberraamatute oma ja selles pole midagi üllatavat, sest näiteks reisile saab mugavalt hulga raamatuid kaasa võtta, ilma et peaks reisikotis millegi muu arvelt ruumi tegema. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite on tõenäoliselt parim e-raamatute lugeja. Ilmus oktoobri alguses ja maksab kõigest 120 (WiFi-versioon) või 180 eurot (3G versioon). 6-tollise ekraaniga Paperwhite on õhem kui keskmine ajakiri ja sel on taustavalgustus, mis teeb lugemise mugavamaks. Jah, paljudele meeldib kindlasti paberlehtede lõhn ja krabin keeramisel, kuid kui sajand tagasi autod tulid, nurisesid inimesed ka selle üle, et mootoriga tõldade pärast pole enam tuttavat hobuste kabjaplaginat kuulda.

annab sellele hoogu juurde. Windows 8HP Envy X2 on voolujoonelise alumiiniumkorpuse ja magnethingedega süle- ja tahvelarvuti hübriid, mis üritab ära kasutada mõlema seadme eeliseid. 11,6-tollise (1366 x 768 pikslit) IPS-puuteekraaniga Envy X2 kaalub 1,4 kg (tahvelarvutina 0,71 kg) ja sellel on nii puutepliiatsi kui ka NFC (lähiväljaside) tugi. Müügile peaks HP Envy X2 saabuma enne jõule veel teadmata hinnaga.

The best e-reader The fact that e-books will be soon n selling better than paper books is not surprising since e-reader takes much less space in luggage than normal books. Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is quite possibly the best e-reader so far. It was launched in October and costs only EUR 120 (with WiFi) or EUR 180 (3G). Paperwhite has a 6” screen, is thinner than an average magazine and is backlit that makes reading especially convenient. While many undoubtedly still like the feel of books, there were also complaints when automobiles started to replace horses on streets a century ago.

Familiar path

Future is here Two-in-one devices, i.e. combos of n laptops and tablet PCs, are becoming ever more popular, fuelled by the arrival of Windows 8. Windows 8HP Envy X2 is a hybrid of a laptop and a tablet PC that has a streamlined aluminum casing and magnetic hinges, and tries to make the best use of both devices. It has a 11.6” (1366 x 768 pixels) IPS touchscreen, weighs 1.4 kg (0.71 kg as tablet PC) and supports both a touch pen and NFC. HP Envy X2 is expected to come on sale before Christmas, but the price is still unknown.

The iPhone 5 launched recently by n Apple is an interesting device: while not revolutionary, it’s a logical and clear improvement from the previous model. The new model became an instant sales hit, of course. It has a full 4” screen with 1136x640 pixels and 16:9 ratio that makes watching a video much more convenient. The screen accommodates one more icon row than iPhone 4S. The new A6 processor is twice faster than iPhone 4S and RAM has been doubled from 512 MB to 1 GB, plus it supports 4G. The new iOS 6.0 operating system has been criticised, especially for Apple’s own map application Maps. iPhone 5 is available in black or white and comes with either 16, 32 or 64 GB. Prices start from EUR 680.

MP3 players and while smartphones have pushed MP3 players out of the market, iPods are still here. What’s more, Apple has just launched a new iPod Nano that again resembles the Nano that we have loved since 2005. The 7th generation Nano is the thinnest of the lot and costs 180 euros, has a 2.5” multitouch LCD screen, can store 16 GB of music and videos and has a FM radio and Bluetooth connection. Fully charged, the 31g iPod enables to listen to 30 hours of music and watch 3.5 hours of video.

Vertule omase nurkliku disainiga Signature Zirconium on, nagu nimigi ütleb, valmistatud tsirkooniumist ja osaliselt kaetud alligaatorinahaga. Tsirkooniumist korpus on valminud kahe nädala jooksul 2000-kraadises ahjus ja valminud täielikult käsitööna. Vertu telefonid odavad ei ole, Signature Zirconiumi hind on umbes 15 000 eurot.

autod / cars Mõistlik Porsche Cayenne Turbo S Porsche on täiustanud oma uut lipulaen

India miniauto murrab Euroopasse Peagi saab ka USA-s ja Euroopas sõita n ühe maailma väiksema ja odavama autoga. India autotootja Tata nõukogu juht Ratan Tata teatas Automotive News’i vahendusel, et plaanib 3000-dollarilise mikroautoga tulla nii USA kui ka Euroopa turule. Praegu veab Tata Nanot edasi 37-hobujõuline kahesilindriline mootor ja sel pole levinud turvavarustust nagu roolivõimendi, stabiilsuskontroll ja õhkpadjad. On tõenäoline, et uutele turgudele pääsemiseks auto pisut suureneb, saab nõutud turvavarustuse ja vähem saastava mootori, kuid seetõttu ka kallineb. „Smart ja Fiat 500 on palju kallimad, kuid inimesed ostavad neid, sest need on pisikesed,” ütles Tata. „Kõik teavad, kui palju raha kulub. Kuid loodame toota 10 000 dollarist odavamat autot.”

va Cayenne Turbo S-i. Hoolimata võimsuse kasvust, ei suurene kütusekulu ega CO2 kogus. Võrreldes Cayenne Turboga saab uus mudel 50 hobujõudu juurde ning mootori väändemoment on jõulisem. Uuel 4,8-liitrisel V8 bi-turbomootoril on 542 hobujõudu. Uus Cayenne Turbo S on uudsete tehnoloogiatega linnamaastur. Auto pakub sportautoga sarnanevat sõiduelamust, kuid säilinud on Cayenne’ile iseloomulik maastikusuutlikkus, mugavus ja koorma vedamise võime.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo S with common sense

Pagani becomes a purse maker As if Pagani‘s vehicles weren’t expenn sive and exotic enough, the Italian automaker looks to be dabbling with some lifestyle accessories to complement its vehicles. The maker of exotic supercars drew inspiration from the shapes, styles and materials used on the $1.4 million Huayra in the creation of the bag that combines high-end leather, aluminum and carbon fiber.

Porsche has somewhat injected a modin cum of common sense into the new flagship model: the Cayenne Turbo S. Despite gains of power, Porsche claims the Turbo S suffers no drop in fuel efficiency or inferior CO2 output. In addition to an increase of 50 horsepower compared to the Cayenne Turbo, the Cayenne Turbo S also benefits from increased engine torque. Those engine gains take total power of the bi-turbo 4.8-litre V8 up to 542bhp. The new Cayenne Turbo S sport utility vehicle employs advanced active chassis technologies. These technologies allow it to surpass the driving performance of many sports cars, while preserving the offroad capability, ride comfort and towing ability typical of the Cayenne.

Driving one of world smallest and n cheapest car could soon be a reality for American and European drivers. The chairman of Indian automaker Ratan Tata has announced that he plans to bring the $3,000 Nano micro car to the United States and Europe, according to Automotive News. The Nano is currently powered by a 37 hp two-cylinder engine and lacks common safety features such as power steering, traction control and airbags. It’s likely the car will get a larger, less polluting engine for export markets. Unfortunately, that means the price will increase. “The Smart and the Fiat 500 have high sticker prices, and people buy them because they are small cars,” Tata told Automotive News. “But everyone knows you put a lot of money into it. We hope that the sub-$10,000 car has appeal.”

Ka Rootsi eksootiliste autode tootja Koenigsegg teatas hiljuti aksessuaaride sarjaga väljatulemisest, kavas on pakkuda kaupa alates kaisukarudest kuni võtmehoidjate ja rõivasteni.

Porsche naaseb F1 sarja? Porsche osaleb Le Mans’il 2014. aastal, n lootes lisada veel ühe peatüki tootja ralliajalukku, mis hõlmab 16 võitu kuulsal 24 tunni sõidul. Kuluaarides sahistatakse, et Zuffenhausenis tegutsev autotootja võib naasta ka F1 sarja. Saksa autoajakirja „Auto, Motor und Sport” andmetel on Porsche liitumine Le Mans’iga vaid soojendus F1-le. Saksa autotootja on juba palganud F1 kogemusega inimesed ja reserveerinud tunde McLareni simulaatoris, mis on üks keerukamaid F1 simulaatoreid. Porsche juht Matthias Mueller ütles kaks aastat tagasi, et nad võivad F1 naasta, kuid praegu on ettevõte selle väite ümber lükanud.

Esimene Nissan Juke-R Juke-R lugu algas 2012. jaanuaris Dubai n autonäitusel kontseptina. GT-R modifitseeritud keretuuninguga muutus R millekski eriliseks. Siis algas töö – kontseptist teekõlbuliku auto ehitamine. Ehitajaks RML, nõu andmas Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTC-E). Auto sai Nissan GT-R ajami ja vedrustuse koos FIA nõudmistele vastava turvapuuriga. Tänu NTC-E-le on tootmisse läinud versioon võimsam kui kontsept, võludes 545 hobujõudu 3,8-liitrisest V6 kahe turboga mootorist. Närvekõditav sõiduelamus on garanteeritud, sest auto arendab kiirust 0-100 km/h vaid 3,0 sekundiga ja maksimumkiirus on 270 km/h.

First production Nissan Juke-R The Juke-R story began when it was n revealed for the first time as a one-off concept in January 2012 in Dubai. With the modified underpinnings of a GT-R under a Juke bodyshell, the R had become something special. Work then started to transform the concept into a road car. Built by RML with advice from Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTC-E), the Juke-R uses the Nissan GT-R’s drivetrain and suspension along with an FIA-specification roll-cage. Thanks to NTC-E, the production version is more powerful than the concept, producing 545bhp from its 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 engine. Thrilling performance is guaranteed, with 0-100km/h estimated to take only 3.0 seconds and a maximum speed of 270 km/h.

Ajuimplantaat taastas ahvide otsustusvõime Rottide ja ahvidega tehtud katsed annan vad lootust, et ajusse siirdatud elektroodid võivad kunagi aidata ka kahjustatud ajuga inimpatsiente, vähemalt kindlate ülesannete sooritamisel. USA teadlaste rühm, kes eelmisel aastal parandas ajukiibi abil rottide mäletamisvõimet, sai samasuguse saavutusega hakkama reesusmakaakide puhul. Mälu asemel taastasid nad ahvidel otsustusvõime, tõestades, et ajuimplantaate on võimalik kasutada ka primaatidel ning keerukamate ajuprotsesside juures. Inimeste puhul on ajusse viidud elektroodidega varem edukalt katsetatud robotkäe liigutamist. Samuti on kümnetele tuhandetele Parkinsoni tõbe põdevatele inimestele ajusse viidud elektriline stimulaator, mis aitab vähendada raske haiguse sümptomeid. Põhja-Carolina osariigis asuva Wake Foresti ülikooli meditsiiniteaduskonna ajuteadlase Sam Deadwyleri ja tema kolleegide tööst võivad tulevikus abi saada need, kellel kas insult või Alzheimeri tõbi on kahjustanud mõnd ajufunktsiooni. Ahvidega tehtid katses näitasid teadlased neile arvutiekraanil üht kujundit ning seejärel pidid ahvid liigutama kursorit ja valima suuremast hulgast välja sama kujundi. See ei ole lihtne refleksiivne tegevus, selgitas Deadwyler, vaid nõuab ahvilt otsustamist, kuidas ülesande täitmiseks kätt juhtida. Samal ajal salvestasid teadlased elektroodide abil ahvi ajus toimuvaid protsesse, keskendudes prefrontaalkorteksile. See ajukoore osa on üks peamisi info säilitamise ja töötlemise keskusi ajus ning seotud otsuste langetamisega. Salvestatud ajuaktiivsuse põhjal koostasid teadlased mudeli, mis näitab, milline aju-

rakkude aktiivsus kaasneb liigutamisotsuse tegemisega. Ajuimplantaat programmeeriti nii, et see stimuleeriks just neidsamu neuroneid. Seadme katsetamiseks süstiti ahvidele kokaiini, mis on tuntud otsustusvõime pärssija. Tõepoolest ei suutnud kokaiiniuimas ahvid enam nõutud ülesannet täita. Kui aga nende ajju viidud seade sisse lülitati, said nad ülesandega hakkama niisama hästi või pareminigi kui varem, hoolimata uimasti mõju all olemisest. Deadwyer usub, et ka inimeste puhul on võimalik välja selgitada teatud toimingutega seotud ajumustrid. Ja kui kedagi peaks tabama ajuvigastus, mis mõnd funktsiooni kahjustab, saab terve aju põhjal loodud mudeli ja implantaadi abil selle taastada. „Kui suudad kätte saada laekuva informatsiooni ja selle põhjal tekkiva normaalse väljundimustri, on võimalik kahjustatud ühendusest mööda minna,“ ütles ta. Praegustest katsetustest inimestele kasutuskõlbliku implantaadini läheb asjatundjate hinnangul aega veel mitu aastat ning kasutusala on ilmselt piiratud, sest paljud ajuprotsessid, näiteks mäletamine ja otsustamine, on väga keerukad ja hõlmavad aju eri osi. Katsetatud implantaadid kopeerivad aga vaid üht kindlat närviühenduste võrgustikku ning suudavad seetõttu asendada ainult mõnd väga spetsiifilist funktsiooni. Esmase väljundina näevadki teadlased sellise koe kasutust ravimitööstuses, kus selle abil saab täpsemalt uurida ravimite mõju kudedele, mitte lihtsalt rakukultuuridele. Nad usuvad, et tulevikus võib elektroonikaga läbi põimitud elundeid siirata inimestesse, kus need jälgivad elundi tööd ja annavad teada, kui midagi läheb viltu. Või suudavad lausa ise probleemile reageerida ning ravimit doseerida.

hope that implanted electrodes may one day help to overcome brain damage in human patients, at least for certain cognitive tasks. The US team of researchers who last year used a chip to improve the memory of rats achieved a similar feat now with rhesus monkeys. But instead of memory monkeys' ability to make decisions was enhanced. This proves that brain implants can be used on primates and for more complex cognitive processes. For humans, previous attempts to use brain implants include successful tests in moving robotic arms with thoughts alone. Also, tens of thousands of people with Parkinson’s disease have been implanted an electric stimulator device that helps to alleviate symptoms. Now, the work of Sam Deadwyler, a brain scientist at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in North Carolina might help people whose brain functions have been damaged by stroke or dementia. In the tests with monkeys, the animals were shown a shape on the computer screen. They had to move a cursor with their hand and choose the same shape from a larger group. This is not a simple reflexive movement, Deadwyler explained, but requires the monkey to make decisions on how to move its hands to complete the task. At the same time the monkey's brain processes were recorded with the help of electrodes, focusing on prefrontal cortex, the brain area that is one of the main centres for information storage and processing and is also involved in decision-making. Based on the recorded neural activity, the researchers extrapolated a model to see which cells are active when the decisions to move the hand are made. The brain implant was then programmed to stimulate those neurons. To test the device, the monkeys were injected cocaine – a substance known for impairing decision-making. As expected, the drugged monkeys failed to complete the task. But when the brain implant was switched on, they managed as good or even better than before, despite being under the influence of cocaine. Deadwyler believes that similar patterns for particular tasks could be generated in humans, so that an injured patient could receive an implant that restores the task with the help of the model based on a healthy brain. "As long as you can extract

in time November 2012

teadus / science the information and generate the normal output pattern for that input, you can bypass the damaged connection," he said. It will take several years before the current experiments lead to an implant usable for humans, the experts warn, and they are likely to be of limited use, because most cognitive functions like memory and decision-making are very complex processes and involve several parts of the brain. The tested implants copy a single neural network and can therefore only replace a specific function.

Tuuleenergia suudab katta kogu inimkonna energiavajaduse Maa ja mere peal puhub piisavalt n tuult, et täita selle abil ambitsioonikad taastuvenergia eesmärgid. USA teadlaste arvutused näitavad, et poole inimkonna energiavajadusest saaks katta nelja miljoni tuuleturbiini abil. Varasemad uurimused on väitnud, et tuuleenergia kasutatavusel on piirid, kuna iga uus turbiin kahandab teiste jaoks saadavat tuuleenergiat ja võib kaasa tuua kahjulikke kliimamuutusi. Kasutades senisest kõige detailsemat ilmamudelit, näitasid Stanfordi ülikooli professor Mark Jacobson ja Delaware’i ülikooli teadlane Cristina Archer nende väidete ekslikkust. Olemasoleva tuulega on võimalik saavutada eesmärk, et tuuleenergia annaks aastaks 2030 poole inimkonna energiatarbimisest. Enamgi, sest võimalik on toota mitu korda rohkem, kui suudame tarbida, ilma et sellega kaasneks olulist negatiivset mõju kliimale. Kui kasutada ära kogu potentsiaal, võiksime toota kuni 250 teravatti, ainult maismaa ja rannaaladega arvestades siiski kuni 80 teravatti. „Me ei ütle, et pange turbiinid igale poole, kuid näitasime, et ei ole põhimõttelist

piirangut, miks ei võiks 2030. aastaks toota poolt kogu energiast või isegi mitu korda vajaminevast rohkem,“ väitis Jacobson. „Potentsiaal on olemas, kui suudame ehitada piisavalt turbiine.“

Wind power can cover all our energy need There is enough wind on land n and on sea to fulfill ambitious alternative energy goals and even more. New calculations by US researchers show that 4 million turbines are enough to cover half of world’s power demand. Some earlier studies have claimed that there are limits to the usability of wind power because each turbine steals so much wind energy from other turbines that it may cause harmful climate consequences. Using the most detailed weather model, Stanford University professor Mark Jacobson and Delaware University associate professor Cristina Archer showed these claims to be wrong. The existing wind potential is enough to reach the goal of getting half of the world’s power from wind by 2030. And what is more: we can produce several times more power than we need without significant negative effects on the climate. If we use all the potential we could produce up to 250 terawatts of power. Using only land and coastal areas we could still produce up to 80 terawatts. "We're not saying, 'Put turbines everywhere,' but we have shown that there is no fundamental barrier to obtaining half or even several times the world's all-purpose power from wind by 2030,“ Jacobson says. „The potential is there, if we can build enough turbines," he believes.

Uus põhjala köök on hea ka keskkonnale Uueks põhjala dieediks nimetatud tern vislik toitumisviis aitab säästa keskkonda, vähendades kasvuhoonegaaside emissioone kuni veerandi võrra. Kopenhaageni ülikooli dotsent Henrik Saxe võrdles uue põhjala dieediga kaasnevaid keskkonnamõjusid taanlaste tavalise toidulauaga. Ta leidis, et tervislikum toitumine kahandab kliimamuutusi põhjustavate gaaside tootmist vähemalt kuus, mõnel juhul isegi kuni 27 protsenti.

Uue põhjala dieedi keskmes on rohkem puu- ja juurvilju, täisteratooteid ning kohalikku päritolu toorainet. Kõige suuremat mõju keskkonnale avaldabki uuringu järgi toorainete päritolu, vähem see, kas tegu on mahetoodetega. „Kui soovime omaks võtta kliimasõbralikud toitumistavad, peab suur osa meist piirama lihatarbimist,“ lisas Saxe. „Keskkonnale on kasulik seegi, kui asendame osa veiselihast lamba-, kana- või sealihaga,“ teavitas ta. „Või saame rohkem valku köögiviljadest nagu oad ja teised kaunviljad.“

New Nordic Diet benefits the environment RA healthy way of eating called the n New Nordic Diet also helps to save the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emission by up to a quarter. Henrik Saxe, an associate professor at Copenhagen University compared the environmental impact of the New Nordic Diet with the usual diet of Danes. He found that healthier eating reduces the emission of greenhouse gases by at least 6 but potentially up to 27 percent. The New Nordic Diet promotes eating more fruit and vegetables, more whole grain and more locally grown food. According to the study raw materials have the most significant effect on whether or not one’s eating habits are good for the environment. The choice between organic or conventional foods has a less certain impact. “If we are to adopt climate-friendly eating habits, most of us will need to cut down on our meat consumption,” Saxe said. “It also benefits the environment to replace some of the beef with lamb, chicken or pork – or to eat more vegetable protein foods, such as beans and other leguminous fruits.” Tekst / Text: Arko Olesk

Kuidas saadakse piloodiks Piloodiks võib saada igaüks, kuid piloodiamet sobib vaid vähestele, sest nõudmised nii vaimsele kui ka füüsilisele tervisele on karmid. Piloodi väljaõpe maksab ligi 75 000 eurot ja eksamitel tuleb vastata 20 000 küsimusele, lisaks sadu tunde lendamist. Tekst: Mariliis Pinn Fotod: Estonian Air, Scanpix, Cessna, Shutterstock

„Keeruline oli lennuakadeemiasse sisse saa-

da, aga lihtne seal õppida,” meenutab Estonian Airi piloot Klaus Kuuse oma teed taevasse. Piloodiks võivad saada ainult hea tervise, tugeva tahtejõuga ja pühendunud noored inimesed. „Inimene on evolutsiooni käigus õppinud hakkama saama just maa peal. Et olla edukas õhus, on vaja omandada palju spetsiaalseid teadmisi, piloodile vajalikke harjumusi ja oskusi,” selgitab Eesti Lennuakadeemia õhusõiduki juhtimise osakonna juhataja, endine hävituslendur Teo Krüüner. „Piloodikoolitus on üks kallimaid, võrreldes teiste elukutsete õppimisega. Eestis maksab kommertspiloodi väljaõpe ligi 75 000 eurot,” ütleb

Krüüner. Kommertspiloodiks koolitatakse Eesti Lennuakadeemias ja eralennukoolis Pakker Avio. Kes tahab professionaalseks piloodiks saada, peab läbima karmi lennukooli sisseastumise kadalipu, sest soovijaid on palju – peaaegu 20 inimest ühele kohale. „Isiksuse test, IQ-test, head tulemused riigieksamitel, arstlik läbivaatus,” loetleb Kuuse olulisi sisseastumisetappe. Psühholoogiline test määrab, kas inimene sobib piloodiks või mitte. Kuuse sõnul võib aimata, mida oodatakse vastuseks küsimusele: „Kas teid valdavad tihti enesetapumõtted?” Aga kuidas näiteks mõjutab testi tulemust vastus küsimusele: „Kas teile meeldivad lilled?” „Piloot peab ennast ümber kasvatama tööks õhus,” selgitab Krüüner. Oluline on iseloom: ausus, sealhulgas ka enda vastu, enesekriitilisus, teotahe, teadlik enesekindlus, sihipärasus, ohvrimeelsus. Praktika on näidanud, et eesmärkide hägusus, enesekriitika puudus ja madal vastutuslävi, liigne enesekindlus, lennunduses kehtivate käitumisreeglite eiramine jne võivad saada takistuseks heaks piloodiks saamisel.

lennundus Kuuse meenutab, et raske oli sisseastumisel ligi viietunnine IQ-testide maraton. „Näiteks näidati meile alguses pilte ja alles mitme tunni pärast küsiti midagi nende piltide kohta,” räägib ta. Oluline on ruumiline mõtlemine, sest ülesanded nõudsid asjade liikumise kirjeldamist ümber kolme telje. Ülitähtis on tulevase lenduri füüsiline tervis, mida kontrollitakse edaspidi igal aastal. „Esimene kontroll on kõige põhjalikum,” tõdeb Kuuse. Kopsupildid, silmade ja kuulmise kontroll, EKG – need on vaid mõned elementaarsed asjad, mida kontrollitakse. On terve nimekiri seisundite ja haiguste kohta, mille puhul piloodiks ei saa, näiteks suhkruhaigus. Kuid näiteks prillid pole takistuseks. „Oluline on, et korrigeeritult oleks nägemine korras. Piloodil peab kabiinis kaks paari prille kaasas olema, ühed ees ja teised varuks,” ütleb ise prille kandev Kuuse. Piloodiks õppimine on rahvusvaheliste

standarditega paika pandud ja ühesugune kogu maailmas. Selleks kulub umbes poolteist aastat.

Lennuakadeemias saavad piloodid lisaks rakendusliku kõrghariduse, mis koos piloodiõppega kokku kestab neli aastat. „Loengud toimuvad Tartu ülikoolis ja õppejõud on samad, kes õpetavad ülikoolis. Palju on reaalaineid,” tutvustab Kuuse õppetööd. Akadeemilistest ainetest leiab sissejuhatuse füüsikasse, kõrgemasse matemaatikasse, mehaanikasse, elektrotehnikasse, aga ka majandusteooriasse ja filosoofiasse. Kui inseneriained läbitud, algab piloodiõpe. Kuuse sõnul tuleb kolme semestriga läbida 14 teooriaainet. Viimasel aastal lisandub lennupraktika ja lõputöö kirjutamine. Õpitakse lennundusseadusandlust, aerodünaamikat, õhusõidukite ehitust, inimfaktorit ja selle mõju, lennundusmeteoroloogiat, navigatsiooni, lennuvahendite käitamisprotseduure, lennunduse raadiosidet, lennuks ettevalmistuse protseduure ja arvestusi ning lennunduse inglise keelt.

Erapiloot vs ametipiloot Ametipiloot teenib n

lennates Piloodiks saamiseks peab läbima: 750 tundi teooriat 140 tundi ühemootorilisel lennukil 40 tundi lennusimulaatoril 30 tundi kahemootorilisel lennukil

Erapilooot ei tohi tasu n eest lennata Hobilenduriks saamisel on vajalik: 169 tundi teooriaõpet Miinimum 35 lennutundi 8-12 kuud pidevat õppimist

Kõigis 14 aines tuleb sooritada koolieksam ja seejärel tõestada oma teadmisi lennuametis. Eksamid on valikvastustega. Kui mõni arvab, et vastused võib pähe õppida, siis võtku ette baas, kus on kõik 20 000 küsimust. Kuuse meelest oli lihtsam teemad endale sisuliselt selgeks teha. Iseõppijaid eksamile ei lasta, kool peab ametipiloodiks pürgijatele kaasa andma dokumendi läbitud koolituste kohta.

Kolmanda õppeaasta lõpupoole lastakse noored piloodid lendama. „Kohe peab arvestama, et 3.-4. aasta vaheliseks suveks plaane teha pole mõtet. Suur osa ajast kulub lennuväljal ilusat ilma oodates, lendu ette valmistades ja muudekski koolitöödeks,” hoiatab Kuuse. Esimesed 140 tundi harjutatakse lendamist ühemootorilise lennukiga Cessna 172. „Alustatakse visuaallendudega ehk ilusa ilmaga lendamisest. Pilvedesse minna ei tohi ja instrumente ei kasutata,” selgitab Kuuse, kuidas tudengid lendavad ja paberkaardiga oma asukohta tuvastavad. Lisaks lendamisele peab täitma lennuplaani, kuhu märgitakse nii kiirused kui ka kõrgused, ning pidama raadiosidet. Põhirõhk on mitme asja korraga tegemisel, lennuki tundma õppimisel jne. Edasi õpitakse instrumentide juhatusel lendama ehk maa nägemine pole siis enam oluline. Kui väikese lennukiga lendamine on selge, tuleb läbida 30 lennutundi Piper 31-ga, mis on kahe

mootoriga lennuk. „See on palju kiirem ja mõnusam, Tartust Tallinna lendab umbes 30 minutiga. Kuid piloot peab kiiremini mõtlema ja tegutsema.” Kohustuslik on läbida 60 tundi simulaatoritreeningut. Lennuakadeemias on kasutusel FNPT II/ MCC. „Seal harjutatakse protseduure, meeskonnatööd ja hädaolukordi. Õhus ju ei pane lennuki mootorit põlema,” muigab Kuuse. „Õ p p e p r o g r a m m i ning vastava koolitustüübi läbimise järel on lennukipilootidel õigus töötada teise piloodina mitmemootorilisel kahe piloodiga lennukil või lennuki kaptenina ühe piloodiga lennukil ärilises lennunduses ja kõikidel lennukitüüpidel kaptenina mitteärilises lennunduses,” selgitab Krüüner.

Piloodiks õppimine ei saa kunagi otsa.

Kui lennuakadeemia on edukalt lõpetatud, ootab ees töö, mis algab uue koolitusega. „Iga lennukiga lendamiseks on vaja eraldi litsentsi. Kui Estonian Airi tulin, õppisin kaks kuud Boeinguga lendamist,” meenutab Kuuse. Litsentsi on vaja uuendada igal aastal. Kui pidevalt sama lennuki pilooditoolil istuda ja lennata, piisab koos pädeva instruktoriga kontroll-lennust. Kui aga mainitud lennuki juhtkangi pole viis aastat käes hoitud, tuleb koolitust uuesti nullist alustada. Litsentse kontrollitakse pidevalt ja piloodid lihvivad seetõttu oma oskusi ka simulaatoris. „Mis on kõige raskem piloodi töös? Arvatavasti mitte alati ajaliselt normeeritud tööpäevad, lennud võivad toimuda läbi mitme ajavööndi, mis mõjutab piloodi ööpäevast bioloogilist tsüklit, ja kindlasti suur psühholoogiline ja füüsiline koormus pikkade lendude ajal. Lennuvahendi kapten kannab täielikku vastutust meeskonna, reisijate, lennuvahendi ja pardal oleva lasti eest. Ainult lennuvahendi kaptenil on õigus otsustada lennu kulgemise üle, olgu selle pardal kas või vanajumal ise!” lisab Krüüner.

Erapiloodiks saab lihtsamalt „Järjest populaarsemaks muutub ka Eestis hobikorras lendan

mine,” ütleb Tackmer Air AS juhatuse liige Priit Palumaa. „Selleks annavad väga hea võimaluse uue põlvkonna ülikerglennukid.” Nende käitamiskulud moodustavad umbes 40 protsenti Cessna-tüüpi mootorlennukite käitamiskuludest. Sellest tulenevalt on nii lennukoolitus kui ka lennukite rent odavam. „Harrastuslennunduse laiemat levikut Eestis on seni takistanud üksnes eelarvamused, lennukit peetakse luksuseks, lendamist kalliks ja riskantseks lõbuks,” lisab Palumaa. „Ega seal midagi keerulist ole, kui tervis korras, tuleb asi lihtsalt kätte võtta ja ära teha! Selleks, et litsentsi saada, on vaja läbida teooriaõpe ja praktiline õpe, aega võtab see olenevalt inimesest kolm kuud kuni kolm aastat. Sõltub peamiselt sellest, kui tihti inimene saab ja viitsib asjaga tegelda,” kinnitab erapiloot ja Aeronautikaklubi Lennukooli instruktor Toomas Uibo.

ESTONIAN EXPORT DIRECTORY Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is pleased to present a practical business guide on Estonian exporters and a selection of investment opportunities.

Aeronautikaklubi Lennukool koolitab juba üle 10 aasta ülikergn

lennuki piloote. „Meil on koolituseks ja rentimiseks kaks kahekohalist UL-tüüpi lennukit Ikarus C-42 ja üks neljakohaline lennuk Cessna C-172 erapilootidele,” räägib lennuõpetaja Johan Pender. Penderi sõnul võivad erapiloodid käia teooriatundides või materjali endale iseseisvalt selgeks teha. Teooriaeksameid tuleb teha algul koolis ja hiljem lennuametis. Eksamid kehtivad poolteist aastat, seega esimesest eksamist lugedes peavad selle ajaga teised eksamid ja lennupraktika koos lennuoskustestiga tehtud olema.

Piloodiks saamiseks on vaja omandada teoreetilised teadmised n

lennuki ehitusest, käitamisest, navigatsioonist, meteoroloogiast, aerodünaamikast, seadustest ja reeglitest, inimfaktorist ning raadiosidest. Paralleelselt teooriaõppega saab võtta praktilisi lennutunde. Lennukoolist saab inimene rahvusvaheliselt kehtiva erapiloodi litsentsi PPL (Private Pilot Licence). Selline lennuluba võimaldab piloodil lennata alguses ühemootoriliste kolbmootoriga lennukitega. Sealt edasi on väike samm kahe-mootoriliste kolbmootoriga lennukiteni. PPL litsents ei luba lennata tasu või hüvitise eest. Seda võib teha ainult ametilenduri pädevuse ehk CPL (Commercial Pilot Licence) litsentsiga. „Sobivaid lennuilmu on meil aastas saja päeva ringis. Koolituse hind sõltub lennutundide arvust. Nõutud minimaalse 35 tunniga saavad hakkama nooremad, kuid keskealistel tuleb tavaliselt rohkem tunde võtta. Summa, millega arvestama peaks, on ligi 7000 eurot,” ütleb Pender.

„Flexible economy, simple tax system; labour costs, which in European terms are low, together with good education and good labour market conditions are an argument, in addition to the euro, why one should invest to Estonia. I invite you to be a part of everything Estonia has to offer.” ANDRUS ANSIP Prime Minister of the Republic of Estonia

How to become a pilot Anyone can become a pilot, but very few actually do because the requirements are extremely rigorous. Text: mariliis pinn Photos: Estonian Air, Scanpix, Cessna, shutterstock

The training costs about 75,000 euros, the

exams have a total of 20,000 questions and you have to spend hundreds of flight training hours. „It was difficult to get into the aviation academy, but the studies were actually not that hard,” says Klaus Kuuse, an Estonian Air pilot, talking

about his way to the skies. To become a pilot, a person must be young, determined, committed, and have excellent health. „People have evolved for life on the ground. To become a pilot, you need vast amounts of knowledge and skills,” explains Teo Krüüner, former fighter pilot and current head of the air piloting department of the Estonian Aviation Academy. „Pilot training is very expensive compared to most professions. In Estonia, it costs about 75,000 euros to train a commercial pilot,” explains Küü-

aviation ner. Commercial pilots are trained by the Estonian Aviation Academy and by Pakker Avio, a private aviation school. Those who want to become a professional pilot must be ready for tough competition because they are competing with almost 20 applicants. „Personality test, IQ test, excellent results in state exams, medical checkup,” are the key acceptance criteria according to Kuuse. The results of the psychological test determine whether the person is suitable for the pilot's job or not. Kuuse says it may be easy to answer the question „Do you often have suicidal thoughts?”. But what reply is expected to „Do you like flowers?”

„The pilot must adapt for work in the air,” explains Krüüner. What's important in character: honesty, integrity, self-criticism, commitment, self-confidence, determination and dedication. Life has shown that obscurity of objectives, lack of self-criticism and low sense of responsibility, overconfidence and ignoring the code of conduct in aviation may become an obstacle in becoming a good pilot. Kuuse recalls that the acceptance exams included almost five hours of IQ tests. „For instance, they showed us pictures at the beginning of the test, but asked us questions about them only several hours later,” he says. Spatial thinking is important because the tasks require threedimensional description of movement of things. What is also extremely important is the physical health of the future pilot and it is checked once a year. „The first medical checkup is the most comprehensive one,” says Kuuse. It includes lung X-rays, electrocardiogram, vision and hearing tests, etc. Pilots must be free of a whole list of conditions and diseases such as diabetes. November 2012 in time

But glasses, for instance, are not a restriction. „What’s important is that the vision is OK when corrected. A pilot must have two pairs of glasses in the cockpit, one in use and another in reserve,” explains Kuuse who himself wears glasses.

Pilot training is conducted in compliance with strict international standards. It is similar everywhere in the world and takes about 18 months. After four years of study that includes also pilot training, the pilots obtain an applied higher education degree. „Lectures are held in the Tartu University and teachers are the same who teach in the university. There’s a lot of engineering sciences,” explains Kuuse. Of academic subjects, there is an introductory course of physics, also advanced math, mechanics, electronics, economic theory and philosophy. When engineering studies are over, pilot training beings. According to Kuuse, in three semesters, one must go through 14 theoretical courses. The final year includes flight practice and preparation of the graduation paper. Students will study aviation legislation, aerodynamics, technical systems of aerial vehicles, human factor and its impact, aviation meteorology, navigation, aircraft operating, aviation radio communication,

aviation flight-preparation procedures and calculations and English in aviation.

A school exam is made in all 14 subjects

followed by a test in ECAA. The exam questions are multiple-choice questions. Cheating is impossible since questions are selected out of a database of 20,000. Kuuse says that the best advice is to study hard. Autodidacts cannot attend exams because students must hold a school certificate about completion of training. At the end of the third year, young students

start to fly. „This means the summer between the 3rd and 4th year of studies is fully booked. You'll spend most of your time on airfields waiting for fair weather, preparing for a flight and other schoolwork,” warns Kuuse. The first 140 hours of flight training is with single-engine Cessna 172. „You start by visual flying in fair weather. It’s prohibited to enter the clouds and use instruments,” says Kuuse about flying and navigation by paper map. In addition to actual flying, students must record speeds and elevations and to maintain radio communication. The main focus is on mul-

aviation Private pilots have it easier n „Hobby flying is becoming more and more popular in Estonia,” says

Priit Palumaa who is a board member of Tackmer Air AS. „This has been made possible by superlight aircraft of the new generation. The operating costs of these planes are only about 40% of those of Cessna-type planes which makes both flight training and aircraft rent cheaper.” „There is nothing difficult. When your health is OK, it’s just about doing it. To obtain a license, you must undergo both theoretical and practical training. It may vary from three months to three years, depending on how much time and effort you're willing to dedicate,” adds Toomas Uibo, a private pilot and instructor of aeronautics club Lennukool. Lennukool has been training pilots for superlight aircraft for more than 10 years. „We have two two-seater UL-type aircraft Ikarus C-42 for training and rent and one four-seater Cessna C-172 for private pilots,” says flight instructor Johan Pender.

Pender says that private pilots may either attend theory lectures or n

study independently. Theoretical exams are held first in schools and later in the Estonian Civil Aviation Administration (ECAA). All exams, flight practice and flying skills test must be completed within 18 months. To become a pilot, knowledge of aircraft handling, operations, navigation, meteorology, aerodynamics, laws and regulations, human factors and radio communication is necessary. Parallel with theoretical studies students can take practical flying lessons. The aviation school issues graduates a private pilot license or PPL that is internationally recognized. PPL allows to start by flying aircraft with a single piston-engine. The next step is twin-engine aircraft. Holders of a PPL license cannot receive payment or compensation as pilots because this requires a CPL (Commercial Pilot License). „We have about a hundred days a year that are suitable for flying. The price of training depends on the number of flight hours. While 35 hours may be enough for younger people, middle-aged students usually take more lessons. All this costs about 7,000 euros,” adds Pender.

ti-tasking, getting to know the plane, etc. The next step is flying by instruments as opposed to visual flying. Students start with small aircraft and move on to a twin-engine Piper 31 that requires 30 flight hours. „This is much faster and more convenient. It flies from Tartu to Tallinn in about 30 minutes. But it means that pilots must also think and act faster.” In addition to that, there is a mandatory requirement of 60 hours of training simulation for which the aviation academy uses FNPT II/MCC. „It’s about procedures, teamwork and emergency situations. You cannot teach in the air how to fly with a burning engine,” says Kuuse, smiling. „After completing studies and specific type of training, aircraft pilots can start working as copilots in multi-engine aircraft that have two pilots or as aircraft captains in single-pilot aircraft in commercial aviation and as captains in all aircraft types in non-commercial aviation,” explains Krüüner. Pilots never stop to study. After graduating an aviation academy, they start actual work and this

means more training. „Flying different aircrafts requires different licenses. When I came to Estonian Air, I studied flying a Boeing for two months,” recalls Kuuse.

A license must be renewed once a year.

When piloting the same type of aircraft year after year, a test flight with a competent instructor is sufficient. But in case the pilot has not flown a type of aircraft for five years and needs to start flying it again, the whole training must be started from scratch. Licenses are checked continuously which is why pilots spend hours in flight simulators honing their skills. „If you ask what’s the hardest part about the job of a pilot, I should say it’s hectic working hours, flights covering several time zones (they are a real stress to the body) and high mental and physical tension during long-haul flights. The captain of the aerial vehicle is fully responsible for the crew, passengers, the aircraft itself and the on-board load. God himself may be on board, but the only person who makes decisions regarding the flight is the airplane's captain,” adds Krüüner.

Lennujaamast sõidetakse klientidega välja siis, kui esimese reisija bussi tulekust on möödas veerand tundi või kui buss on reisijaid täis. Viimane Shuttle-buss väljub lennujaamast pärast seda, kui kõik reisijad õhtuselt Amsterdamist saabunud lennult on oma pagasi kätte saanud, s.o kella 23.30 paiku. Buss on käigus seitse päeva nädalas. Pileteid Shuttle-bussile saab osta saabuvate lendude saalist Airport Shuttle'i lipuga klienditeeninduse letist. Kliente teenindatakse nii eesti, inglise kui ka vene keeles ja maksta saab kaardi või sularahaga. Sõit Airport Shuttle’iga maksab viis eurot, sõltumata sihtkohast Tallinna piires.

Suitsetamine ja elektroonika

Smoking & electronic devices regulations

Suitsetamine on keelatud kõigil Estonian Airi lendudel. n Kaasaskantavad elektroonilised seadmed, mis sisaldavad raadiosaatjat või vastuvõtjat, võivad segada lennuki navigatsioonisüsteemi, mistõttu nende kasutamine lennu ajal on keelatud.

It is recommended that you arrive at the airport at least two n

vähemalt kaks tundi enne piletil märgitud väljalennu aega, välja arvatud juhul, kui kasutate interneti teel varasema registreerimise võimalust. Lähteväravas tuleb olla pardakaardile märgitud pardale mineku ajal. Kaasas peab olema reisidokument, milleks on: n • pass (rahvusvahelistel lendudel) • pass või rahvuslik ID-kaart (Euroopa Liidu piires) • pass, rahvuslik ID-kaart, Eestis välja antud juhiluba, üliõpilas- või õpilaspilet (Tallinna-Tartu-Tallinna siselendudel) Estonian Airi lendudel võib inimese kohta olla üks ühik registreen ritavat pagasit kaaluga kuni 23 kg. Pagasireeglid on lennufirmadel erinevad, seetõttu tuleb piletit ostes tähelepanelik olla. Kõigil lennufirmadel ei pruugi pagasi hind olla lennupileti hinna sees. Jätkulendudel kehtivad esimese vedaja pagasireeglid. Kui lennujaamas tekib probleeme, tuleb kõigepealt üles otsida n lennufirma töötajad või esindajad, kellelt saab küsida abi ja infot. Neil on kohustus jagada teavet lennureisijate õiguste kohta. Kui lend hilineb üle kahe ja poole tunni, on lennufirma kohustan tud pakkuma reisijatele süüa-juua ja sidevõimalust (näiteks kaks tasuta telefonikõnet). Alates viietunnisest hilinemisest on reisijal õigus lennust loobumise korral lennupileti eest makstud raha tagasi saada. Ülebroneeringu korral peab lennuettevõtja otsima vabatahtn likke, kes on nõus loobuma oma kohast kokkulepitud hüvitise eest. Vabatahtlike puudumisel on reisijatel õigus hüvitisele (125-600 eurot), teisele võimalusele sihtkohta jõudmiseks või piletihinna tagastusele. Veel on lennureisile mitte lubamise korral reisijatel õigus abistamisele ning vajadusel ka majutusele (sealhulgas transport majutuskoha-lennujaama vahel). 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.
