Jan Palmér Estonian Airi tegevjuht CEO of Estonian Air

JĂ€tkusuutlik lennukompanii

Sustainable airline

Euroopa ÀÀrealal asuva vĂ€ikese Eesti areng sĂ”ltub paljuski heast transpordiĂŒhendusest. Möödunud aasta lĂ”pus alustas Estonian Air ettevĂ”tte restruktureerimist, et muutuda efektiivseks niĆĄilennuettevĂ”tteks, mis keskendub kĂ”ige olulisematele sihtkohtadele Euroopas ja Idas. KĂ€esoleval hooajal on Estonian Airi lennuvĂ”rgustikus kĂŒmme pĂ”hi- ja kaks hooajalist sihtkohta, mida teenindatakse viie lennukiga. Restruktureerimise ĂŒhe osana töötab Estonian Air uue teeninduskontseptsiooni kallal, et vĂ”tta kasutusele kuluefektiivne ja jĂ€tkusuutlik mudel, tagades nii meie klientide rahulolu. KĂ€imasolev restruktureerimine esitab mitmeid vĂ€ljakutseid. Meie eesmĂ€rgiks on luua jĂ€tkusuutlik lennuettevĂ”te, mis suudab rahuldada Eesti lennutranspordi vajaduse ning tegutseda reisijate ja Eesti majanduse huvides. Estonian Airi meeskond on teinud Ă€ra vĂ€ga suure töö ning saavutanud vĂ€ljapaistvaid tulemusi lennuteenuste kvaliteedis. KĂ€esoleva aasta veebruaris oli Estonian Airi lendude regulaarsus ehk toimumise protsent 100 ning lendude punktuaalsus ehk vĂ€ljumise tĂ€psus (15 minutit) 87,7%. See on talveperioodi silmas pidades vĂ€ga hea tulemus ning kĂ”rgem möödunud aastal saavutatust. Selliste tulemustega on Estonian Air Euroopa lennuettevĂ”tete tĂ€psemate lendajate hulgas.

Estonia, a small but emerging country on the fringe of Europe, depends on efficient air transport for its future development. At the end of last year, Estonian Air began a restructuring work to develop the airline into an efficient, niche player focused on the most important destinations in Europe and also east. During the current flight season we are operating a network of ten core and two seasonal destinations with the fleet of five jet aircraft. As a part of the restructuring Estonian Air will change our current service concept to become more cost effective and easier to handle, but still satisfactory to our customers. Naturally, it poses several challenges. Our goal is to create a sustainable airline that best serves the air transport needs of all Estonia — its people, businesses and economy as a whole. The Estonian Air team has been working hard to achieve outstanding quality in our operations. In February the regularity of Estonian Air flights was 100%, and the 15-minute punctuality was 87.7%, a very good result during the winter period and an increase compared to February last year. With this result we are among the most punctual airlines in Europe. Welcome on board and stay with us!

Tere tulemast pardale ja jÀÀge meiega!

Ilusaimad hetked Ôhus Priit HÔbemÀgi kolumnist

Mulle meeldib lennata. Esimene Ă”hureis oli Alles sellises pisikeses, ĂŒhekordsete seinteĂŒhemootorilise lennuki An-2 pardal. Esimene An-2 tĂ”usis Ă”hku juba 1947. aastal. Topelttiiva tĂ”ttu hĂŒĂŒti neid kunagi „moosiriiuliteks”. Istusin seal nahkrihmaga kĂ”va istme kĂŒlge köidetuna ning taldrikusuurusest ĂŒmmargusest aknast vĂ€lja ei nĂ€inud. Kui sain tĂ€iskasvanuks, lendasin hiigellennukitega ĂŒle ookeani Ameerika Ühendriikidesse ja Jaapanisse. Need on vĂ€ga muljetavaldavad, kuid ometi on sel vanal lennukimudelil minu mĂ€lestustes eriline koht. Olin nimelt alati tahtnud langevarjuga hĂŒpata. VĂ€ga tahtsin, aga natuke kartsin ka. Ja teadsin, et minust endast pole selles asjas eestvedajat. MĂ”tlesin siis, et kui avaneb vĂ”imalus, panen end vabatahtlikult olukorda, kus hĂŒppest loobuda pole vĂ”imalik. MĂ”nevĂ”rra absurdne plaan, kuid ometi lĂ€ks see tĂ€ide. Esinesin ĂŒhes telesaates, mille kĂ€igus tĂ€ideti iga osaleja ĂŒks suur soov. Ja kui jĂ€rjekord minuni jĂ”udis, siis ĂŒtlesin kohe: „Mina unistan langevarjuhĂŒppest!” MĂ”ne aja pĂ€rast kutsuti instrueerimisele. Õppeklassis tutvustati langevarju ehitust ja pĂ”hitĂ”desid – kuidas lennukist vĂ€ljuda, kuidas troppe (langevarjunööre) kĂ€sitleda, kuidas varulangevarju avada ja Ă”igesti maanduda. LennuvĂ€ljal oli asi tĂ”sisem. Kord tuul puhus, siis ei puhunud. Liiga tugeva tuulega hĂŒppeid ei tehta. Oli kohe nĂ€ha, et mĂ”nigi inimene meie rĂŒhmast soovis kogu hingest, et tuul aina tugevneks. Kuid siis kĂ”las kutse: „Lennukisse!” Meid ootas samasugune ĂŒhemootoriline An-2, millisega ma oma esimese Ă”hulennu tegin. Langevari seljas, ronisin treppredelit mööda lennukisse.

ga lennukis on vĂ”imalik fĂŒĂŒsiliselt tunda, kui palju jĂ”udu nĂ”uab lennukilt Ă”hkutĂ”usmine ja kĂ”rguse kogumine. Mootor mĂŒrises kĂ”rvulukustavalt, kui lennuk tiire tehes lennuvĂ€lja kohal aeglaselt kĂ”rgust kogus. Aknast vĂ€lja vaadates maapind aina kaugenes, kuni lĂ”puks paistsid majad tikutopsist vĂ€iksematena. Olime jĂ”udnud ĂŒhe kilomeetri kĂ”rgusele maapinnast. See on vaid kĂŒmnendik sellest kĂ”rgusest, kus reisilennukid tavaliselt lendavad, kuid peadpööritavalt kĂ”rge, kui pead lennukist vĂ€lja hĂŒppama! PĂ€rast avatud uksest vĂ€ljahĂŒppamist, uperpalle ja langevarju stabiliseerimist istusin mugavalt rihmadest istmes ja hoidsin troppidest kinni. See, mida ma nĂ€gin, oli hingematvalt ilus. PĂ€ike paistis, valitses tĂ€ielik vaikus, ma istusin ĂŒksinda Ă”hus ja vaatasin maad, mis oli tĂ”esti ĂŒmmargune! Paremat kĂ€tt paistis Tallinn, vasakul Haapsalu, mets, meri, laevad ja saared – kĂ”ik oli nagu peopesal, looduse imelises ilus, absoluutses rahus ja vaikuses. Tundsin, et oleksin vĂ”inud seal istuda terve igaviku. Kuid langevarjuhĂŒpe kestis vaid kolm minutit. Peagi tuli hakata valmistuma maandumiseks. PĂ€rast maapinnaga taaskohtumist ja tuult alla vĂ”tva langevarju maharahustamist oli kĂ”ik justnagu enne. Kuid siiski mitte.

Iga kord, kui lennukis Ôhku tÔusen, vaatan ak-

nast vĂ€lja ja pĂŒĂŒan hinnata, millal umbes kilomeetri kĂ”rgusele tĂ”useme. Ning siis meenuvad need imelised minutid, mil ma lendasin ĂŒksinda taevas, ilma lennukita.

I soon got an invitation to a skydiving course. The training covered the components of the parachute and an instruction on how to jump out of the aircraft, how to handle cords, how to open the backup parachute and how to land safely. Everything got more real on the airfield. We had to wait for the right wind – if it is too strong, skydiving is not possible. I could see that some people in our group were hoping the wind would get stronger. To their disappointment, we soon heard the call: „All aboard!” It was the same An-2 that I had made my first flight in. I climbed to the aircraft with a parachute on my back.

The most beautiful moments in the air Priit HÔbemÀgi columnist

I have always liked to fly. My first flight was on board of a single-engine An-2 aircraft that made its maiden flight already in 1947. Because of its bi-plane wing, its nickname in Estonia is moosiriiul (a shelf of jam jars). I remember sitting in the An-2, strapped to the hard seat by a leather belt and seeing nothing out of the round window. As a grown-up, I’ve managed to fly with large airliners across the ocean to USA and to Japan. These planes have been very impressive, but for some reason the An-2 has always occupied a special place in my memories. I have also always wanted to go skydiving, but the whole idea seemed scary to me. So one day I thought that the only way I would ever do it, is when I put myself in a situation where I could not back out. The approach was somewhat absurd, but it worked. I decided to participate in a TV show that made people’s dreams come true. When it was my turn, I told them, point-blank: „My dream is to go skydiving.”

Sitting in this small aircraft, I suddenly sensed how much power the aircraft requires to lift off and ascend. I could hear the engine roaring as the plane was slowly climbing upwards above the airfield. Looking out of the window, the ground got further and further away, while houses looked like matchboxes. We were at a height of one kilometre which is only one-tenth of the cruising altitude of passenger aircraft, but terribly high for jumping out of an airplane. After the leap, some somersaults and stabilising the parachute I found myself sitting in a comfortable harness, grasping the suspension lines. What I saw was breath-taking. The sun was shining, everything was calm, I was up there on my own, looking down on the earth that had never seemed so round before. Tallinn was on the right, Haapsalu on the left
 The woods, the sea, the vessels and the islands – it was all on my palm, the wilderness in its beauty, absolute peace and tranquillity. I felt that I could have sat up there forever. However, the three minutes were up and it was time to prepare for landing. After I had touched down and deflated my parachute, everything returned to normal. But something was different. Since then, every time my aircraft takes off,

I try to catch the moment when we are at an altitude of about one kilometre and recall these wonderful moments when I was flying all alone in the sky, without any aircraft.

The exhibition „The Waterfowl People. Lennart Meri’s film travels in 1969-1988” that has so far only been exhibited abroad, now arrived to Estonia bringing the birth story of legendary documentaries of Finno-Ugric people to the public. Lennart Meri, the beloved head of state between 1992–2001, was also a writer and a filmmaker, whose mission was to tell the ancient stories of Estonia and other tribal nations, mainly seeking answers to the eternal questions of every small nation, such as – who are we, where do we come from, where are we going. For more than 30 years, Meri either went alone or organised expeditions to the most remote regions of the Soviet Union. He was particularly fascinated with small nations who kept their culture alive despite the foreign colonizer. These journeys were the grounds for films like: „The Waterfowl People” (1970), „The Winds of the Milky Way” (1977), „The Voices of Kaleva” (1985), „The Sons of Torum” (1989) and „The Shaman” (1977/1997) – probably the first internationally influential documentaries about Finno-Ugric nations that provide an overview of their ancient traditions, rituals, folklore, ethnography and pose interesting hypotheses. www.ajaloomuuseum.ee

In the early eighteenth century Paris, shortly before the emergence of Rococo, Watteau caused a sensation in the salons of Paris with his sensual paintings. His work is all the more exceptional given that the painter lived a short yet full life. In collaboration with the Palais des Beaux-Arts Lille the Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels pays homage to this artist with an exhibition bringing together works from all over the world. One of the key themes of this exhibition is music. The renowned conductor and musician William Christie is the guest curator of this exhibition and will also perform in eight concerts featuring music by Watteau's contemporaries.

majandus

Eesti tippjuhid Euroopa ametivendadest optimistlikumad Davosi Maailma Majandusfoorumil avaldati jĂ€rjekorras juba 16. PwC maailma tippjuhtide iga-aastane uuring (PwC Global CEO Survey), mille kĂ€igus kĂŒsitleti 1330 tippjuhti enam kui 60 riigist. Sama uuring viidi tĂ€navu esmakordselt eraldi lĂ€bi Eesti tippjuhtide seas.

Tekst: Teet Tender, PwC Advisors juht Fotod: pwc, shutterstock

Traditsiooniliselt on uuringu ĂŒks kĂ”ige olulisem kĂŒsimus, kui tĂ”enĂ€oliseks peetakse oma ettevĂ”tte kĂ€ibe kasvu eeloleval aastal. Kasvus veendunud tippjuhtide protsenti loetakse omamoodi „optimismiindeksiks” ning kahjuks on see indeks olnud viimastel aastatel langustrendis. Kui

2011. aastal uskus oma ettevĂ”tte kasvu 48% ning mullu 40%, siis tĂ€navu usub oma ettevĂ”tte kasvu vaid 36% juhtidest. Seejuures on optimism keskmisest oluliselt madalam just LÀÀne-Euroopas ja USA-s, nĂ€iteks Eesti jaoks olulisimal turul Skandinaavias, vaid 22%. Eesti tippjuhtide optimism on seevastu ĂŒsna „maailmatasemel”: 35% uuringus osalenuist on veendunud oma ettevĂ”tte mĂŒĂŒgikĂ€ibe suurenemises sel aastal ning teist samapalju on neid, kes peavad kĂ€ibe kasvu ĂŒsna tĂ”enĂ€oliseks. Vaid 7% ei usu oma ettevĂ”tte kĂ€ibe kasvu ning 23% on selles pigem kahtlevad. Arvestades Eesti juhtide konservatiivset loomu, on nende mÔÔdukas optimism loodetavasti pĂ”hjendatud ja nĂ€itab, et Euroopa vĂ”lakriisi kestvas ĂŒldises ebakindluses tunneb Eesti ettevĂ”tjate paremik end suhteliselt kindlalt ning see kajastub ka vĂ€rbamisplaanides. Ehkki ka juba lĂ€inud aastal suurendasid töötajate hulka enam kui pooled (55%) juhtivatest ettevĂ”tetest, nĂ€evad ka tĂ€navu ligi pooled vastanuist ette töötajate arvu suurenemist ning vaid viiendik arvab, et nende ettevĂ”tte töötajate arv kahaneb.

Eesti juhtide suurim mure oli ĂŒllatuslikult vajalike oskustega tööjĂ”u ebapiisav kĂ€ttesaadavus, mis ĂŒletas Ă€ririskina isegi energia- ja toormehindade tĂ”usu. Hooli22

majandus mata sellest, et tööpuudus on Eestis endiselt 10% kandis, on ettevĂ”tjatel raske leida sobivaid töötajaid. See vĂ”ib olla ka ĂŒheks pĂ”hjuseks, miks ĂŒkski vastanud tippjuhtidest ei kavatsenud alanud aastal palku langetada, kuid tervelt 70% plaanisid neid tĂ”sta. Eesti juhtide kindlustunne oma ettevĂ”tte tuleviku osas ei seondu aga hinnanguga majanduskeskkonnale laiemalt: vaid alla viiendiku vastanuist (18%) arvab, et maailmamajandus tĂ€navu kasvab. Ligi kaks kolmandikku (63%) hindab, et see jÀÀb mullusele tasemele ja 16%, et hoopiski kahaneb.

Retseptid segasteks aegadeks Ebakindlate aegadega toimetulekuks joonistub globaalsete tippjuhtide nĂ€gemuses vĂ€lja kolm olulist strateegiat. Esiteks, kasvuvĂ”imaluste hoolikas valimine. Enamik tippjuhte panustab lĂ€hiaastatel ettevĂ”tte orgaanilisele kasvule olemasolevatel turgudel ning vaid kuuendik mĂ”tleb teiste ettevĂ”tete ĂŒlevĂ”tmisele.

April / May 2013 in time

Teiseks, kui edukad ettevĂ”tjad on klienti alati kuningaks pidanud, siis keerulistel aegadel on klient muutumas jumalaks. Tippjuhid peavad ĂŒlioluliseks masu ajal muutunud tarbijakĂ€itumise paremat mĂ”istmist ning paljud on sellel eesmĂ€rgil kaasanud kliendid oma tootearendusse. Lisaks nĂ€hakse suurt potentsiaali digitaalsete turundusplatvormide (nĂ€iteks kliendikaartide abil tarbijate kĂ€itumismustri kohta kogutud informatsiooni) paremas Ă€rakasutamises. Kolmandaks jĂ€tkub protsesside ja efektiivsuse lihvimine kohandumaks uue normaalsusega. Tervelt 70% tippjuhte kavatseb ka sel aastal kulusid kĂ€rpida, kuid erinevalt paari aasta tagusest ei toimu see enam mitte tööjĂ”ukulude, vaid protsesside tĂ”hustamise arvelt. Globaalsetest riskistsenaariumitest peavad tippjuhid kĂ”ige tĂ”sisemaks ja tĂ”enĂ€olisemaks Hiina majanduskasvu vĂ”imalikku langust alla 7,5% ning USA majandussurutist. Veel hiljuti suurimaks riskiks peetud eurotsooni lagunemist peab aga tĂ”enĂ€oliseks ainult iga kuues tippjuht. Hea uudis seegi.

Estonian managers more optimistic than their European colleagues The 16th PwC Global CEO Survey was presented at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos. 1,330 top managers from over 60 countries were interviewed for the survey. This was the first time the survey was separately carried out among top managers in Estonia. Text: Teet Tender, Head of PwC Advisors Estonia Photos: shutterstock

24

As usual,

one of the most important questions asked in the survey concerned the probability of their company's sales increasing in the coming year. The percentage of managers who are convinced that sales will grow is regarded as a kind of an 'optimism index', which unfortunately has been going down in recent years. The share of managers who believed that their companies would grow was 48% in 2011 and 40% in 2012. This year, however, only 36% of managers believe that growth is possible. Such optimism is considerably below the average in Western Europe and the US. In Scandinavia, which is the most important market for Estonia, it is only 22%.

However, the optimism of Estonian managers is relatively high: 35% of the managers who took part in the survey were convinced that the sales turnover of their companies would increase this year and equally many consider such an increase likely. Only 7% believe that the sales revenues of their companies will definitely not grow and 23% doubt that it will happen. As Estonian managers tend to be rather conservative, we hope that their moderate optimism is justified and indicates that the top businessmen in Estonia are feeling relatively secure in the midst of the general turmoil created by the European debt crisis and that this is also reflected in their recruitment plans. Although more than a half (55%) of leading

in time April / May 2013


companies already increased their staff numbers last year, approximately one-half of those interviewed expect to also hire new employees in 2013, and just one-fifth believe that the number of their employees will decrease.

Surprisingly, the biggest concern for Estonian man-

agers is the availability of workforce with necessary skills, which was regarded as an even bigger business risk than the increase in energy and raw material prices. Although unemployment in Estonia is still around 10%, it is difficult for businessmen to find suitable employees. This may be one of the reasons why none of the respondents plan to reduce salaries in 2013 and as many as 70% of them plan to increase instead. However, the confidence Estonian managers have in the future of their companies differs from their opinion of the overall economic environment: only 18% of respondents believe that global economy will grow this year. Approximately two-thirds (63%) are of the opinion that it will remain at last year's level whilst 16% believe that the economy will shrink.

Recipes for complicated times.

In the global perspective, top managers appear to rely on three important strategies to help them cope with uncertain times. Firstly, careful selection of growth opportunities. Most managers will focus on the organic growth of their companies on existing markets and just one-sixth are thinking about taking over other companies. Secondly, whilst successful businessmen have always treated their clients as kings, the status of customers is turning into that of a god in complicated times. Understanding customer behaviour, which changed during the recession, is extremely important in the eyes of managers and many of them have therefore involved their clients in product development. Taking advantage of digital marketing platforms (e.g. information collected about consumer behaviour based on loyal customer card usage) is also seen as something with great potential. Thirdly, polishing processes and efficiency in order to adapt to the 'new normal' is continuing. As many as 70% of senior managers plan to cut their costs again this year, but they will no longer do it on account of labour costs as they did a couple of years ago, but by improving the efficiency of processes. The global risk scenarios seen as most serious and likely to occur by managers are China's economic growth dropping below 7.5% and recession in the US. Only every sixth manager believes that the disintegration of the eurozone, which was seen as the biggest risk not so long ago, is still probable. Some good news at least.

Rios on tavaline, et igal naabruskonnal on oma turupĂ€ev, mil kord nĂ€dalas seatakse kindlasse kohta tĂ€naval ĂŒles letid, kuhu laotatakse erinevaid puu- ja juurvilju, aga ka kala ja maitseaineid. Peaaegu et igal kohalikul on seal „oma” mĂŒĂŒjad, kelle kĂ€est nad nĂ”utavad nĂ€dalaks vajalikku toidukraami ja muidugi lobisevad sinna juurde maastilmast. Turistidele mĂ”eldud nĂ€nni pole neilt turgudelt mĂ”tet otsida, seda sealt ei leia. Rios on olemas ka oma „Kadaka turg” – kesklinnas asuv Saara piirkond, kus mĂŒĂŒakse praktiliselt kĂ”ike: Ă”mblustarbeid, kodumasinaid, riideid, ehteid, kodutekstiile, jalanĂ”usid...

Kes tahab Rios aga teravamat turuelamust, vĂ”ib vĂ”tta ette tee Kirdeturule ehk SĂŁo CristĂłvĂŁol piirkonnas asuvale turule, mis on keskendunud Kirde-Brasiilia kultuuri tutvustamisele ja sealse kauba mĂŒĂŒgile. Sealt leiab sĂŒĂŒa-juua, toidukraami kodus kokkamiseks ja suveniire koju kaasa viimiseks.

Roaming the markets of Rio Text and photos: Liis KĂ€ngsepp

When in Rio de Janeiro, the two best

things to do are sunbathing on the beach and touring the city and the Sugarloaf Mountain. I recommend also to find out when there is a market day in the area and check out all the exciting gardening produce. It is usual in Rio that every neighbourhood has a weekly market day when the locals set up stalls and stands of fruits and vegetables, as well as fish and spices. Almost all locals have their „own” seller on the market who supplies them with weekly food stuffs, as well as with fresh gossip. Don’t look for souvenirs or other tourist stuff from these markets. Naturally, as every town, there is also a flea market in Rio. It is the Saara area in the city centre that offers practically everything including clothing, household appliances, jewellery, home textiles, footwear, etc. This is also the place that supplies people who sell trinkets to tourists in beaches. Those who crave for more authentic experiences should head out to the Northeast Market that is located in the area of São Cristóvãol and specialises in offering culture and goods from Northeast Brazil, including food, beverages and souvenirs.

Pileteid SAS-i, KLM-i, Air France'i, Aerofloti ja teiste lennufirmade lendudele saab broneerida Estonian Airi veebist. Tickets to SAS, KLM, Air France, Aeroflot and other airlines’ flights can also be booked via Estonian Air website. www.estonian-air.com

suunas. MĂ€rtsi alguses tĂ€histati linnas esmakordselt avatud tornide pĂ€eva (ega ainult Tallinn pole tornide linn!), mis peaks tulevikus muutuma traditsiooniks. Nimelt avasid oma trepid ja liftid kĂ”rgeimatele korrustele Amsterdami 17 kuulsat hoonet, nende seas suured kirikud nagu Zuiderkerk ja Oude Kerk, kuningapalee ning vana börsihoone De Beurs van Barlage, kuid ka jĂ”ele vaatav kaasaegsem Mövenpick Hotel vĂ”i silinderkaabu ja Hollandi juustu meenutav Fletcher Hotel. HingetĂ”mbepaigaks sobib hĂ€sti Vondelpark, kus saab end edukalt harida. 19. sajandi pargipaviljonis nĂ€idatakse iga pĂ€ev filmiprogrammi – tummfilmidest kuni vĂ€rskete linateosteni vĂ€lja. Enne asus siin Hollandi filmimuuseum, mis nĂŒĂŒdseks on kolinud Idadokkide piirkonnas avatud uude (ja rangelt kohustuslikku!) EYE Muuseumisse. Vondelpark on hea koht, kus uneleda ja lasta silme eest mööda need tuhanded kunstiĆĄedöövrid, mille kontsentratsioon ruutmeetri kohta ĂŒletab peaaegu inimtaluvuse piirid – mĂ”ne minuti kaugusel asub Museumsplein, kus kĂ”rvuti paiknevad Van Goghi muuseum, Hollandi Riigimuuseum ehk Rijiksmuseum ning moodsale kunstile keskenduv Stedelijk Museum. Kui silmadel kĂŒllalt saab, siis tasakaaluks vĂ”ib lasta oma kuulmismeeli paitada Museumspleinil asuvas Concertgebow’s, mille akustikat on vĂ”rreldud Viini kontserdihalliga. Kellel on soov kiigata tĂ”eliselt jĂ”uka 19. sajandi Hollandi perekonna igapĂ€evaellu, vĂ”iks ette vĂ”tta kĂ€igu van Looni perekonna kodumajja laia Keizersgrachti (Keisrikanali) ÀÀres. Tegu on Hollandi ĂŒhe mĂ”jukama perekonnaga: nende eelkĂ€ija Willem van Loon oli ĂŒks Ida-India kompanii asutajatest ning perest on vĂ”rsunud mitu Amsterdami linnapead. Arhitektuuri- ja kinohuvilistel on pĂ”hjust rÔÔmustada vĂ€rskelt renoveeritud PathĂ© Tuschinski kinoteatri ĂŒle, kus toimuvad peenemad filmiesitlused ja interjöör pakub pileti otse art deco kuldaega. Moodne Amsterdam avab end ĂŒhe pĂ”nevama nurga alt Eastern Docklands (Idadokkide) piirkonnas, mis on kujundatud elamukvartaliks vanast hiiglaslikust sadamaalast. Sadamaala ise jĂ”udis eksisteerida kĂ”igest sadakond aastat ning möödunud sajandi lĂ”pus leiti, et kesklinna kĂŒlje all asuv maalahmakas vajab elu ja inimesi. Lisaks on viimaste aastate jooksul siia loodud arvukalt kultuuri- ja meelelahutuskeskusi.

Amsterdamis peab jalutama ja tark on vĂ”tta kaasa selleks sobivad riided. Linnas on palju jalgrattaid, kuid kĂ”ndida on kergem, sest tohutu hulk jalgrattaid ja jalakĂ€ijaid tĂ€navatel nĂ”uab pingsat tĂ€helepanu isegi kogenud jalgratturilt ja te ei saa nautida ĂŒmbrust. Rentige jalgratas paariks tunniks, kui soovite kĂŒlastada kaugemaid paiku, kuid Ă€rge kulutage kogu pĂ€eva jalgratta seljas. Kui teil on nooruslik vaim ja seljakotirĂ€ndurid ĂŒle kogu maailma teid ei hĂ€iri, siis peatuge Flying Pig Downtown hostelis, kus valitseb maailmakuulus pingevaba Amsterdami Ă”hkkond. Hostelid on alati tĂ€is huvitavaid inimesi ja Pigi baarid on parim koht linnas ĂŒhe joogi tegemiseks vĂ”i unustamatu peo pidamiseks. Joogid on (suhteliselt) odavad, hosteli töötajad on fantastilised ja oskavad vastata kĂ”igile kĂŒsimustele Amsterdami pĂ€eva- ja ööelu kohta. End hostelis sisse seadnud, tasub kohe minna Dave's Coffee Connectioni, vĂ€ikesesse kohvikusse Dami vĂ€ljaku lĂ€hedal. Nende kohv on alati suurepĂ€rane, nad avavad vara ja Dave on suurepĂ€rane vÔÔrustaja. Kui kĂ”ht tĂŒhi, sööge singipaninit. VĂ”i maiustage kookide ja muude kondiitritoodetega. Tehke vĂ€ike tiir paadiga kanalil, see on hea vĂ”imalus linna nĂ€ha. Kui soovite poodelda, minge ĂŒhele paljudest turgudest (Bloemenmarkt – lilleturg, Boerenmarkt – ökoloogilist toitu pakkuv taluturg, Noordermarkt). Need on meeldivad kohad, kus lihtsalt jalutada, vaadata ja maitsta kohalikke toite. Et massisöömingud vĂ”ivad olla ka tĂ”eliselt maitsvad, tĂ”estab hĂ€sti lĂ”unasöök De Kas’i (ehk Kasvuhoone-nimelises) restoranis Frankendaeli pargis. Peaaegu kĂ”ik, mis taldrikul, on siitsamast mullast vĂ”etud. Kui tuleb tahtmine Hollandi parimaid palasid ka kodustele tutvustada, siis vĂ”ib ette vĂ”tta vĂ€ikese jalutuskĂ€igu Marqt turule. Kaasa tasub osta siirupiseid Stroopwafel’eid. Kesklinna ĂŒmbruses on palju fantastilisi baare ja kohvikuid. SĂ”bralik kohvipood on Homegrown Fantasy Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, kus kĂ€ib ka vĂ€hem turiste. Lihasööjad ei tohiks jĂ€tta kĂŒlastamata Burger Baar restorane. 100-protsendilisest Black Angus’i vĂ”i Wagyu veiselihast pihv,

suur hunnik friikartuleid ja mĂ”istlik hind on ĂŒks parimaid söögikordi linnas. Ärge minge umbmÀÀrastesse LĂ”una-Ameerika restoranidesse tĂ€navate ÀÀres, need on ĂŒlehinnatud turistilĂ”ksud. Taskukohased ja suurepĂ€rased India, Hiina ja Vietnami restoranid jÀÀvad turismimarsruutidest pisut eemale. Õhtune meelelahutus sĂ”ltub igaĂŒhe isiklikest eelistustest. Amsterdamis saab kĂ”ike: alates ooperist kuni punaste laternateni, ultramoodsatest ööklubidest klassikalise dĆŸĂ€ssi kontsertideni.

he curious tourist probably knows that already the Schiphol Airport is a good example of how the Netherlands is bending laws of nature by its will: the airport runway is four metres below

sea level. Who has said that a hedonistic weekend cannot include a passionate meeting with the 17th century Dutch art or a game of hide-and-seek in Europe’s largest public library? The architect of this library with an exciting interior design is Jo Coenen, a former state architect or Rijksbouwmeester. Remember this title, as you will see creative and well-planned urban space everywhere in Amsterdam, whether it is a labyrinth of channels designed as a canalisation system in the 17th and 18th century or a more modern structure. The smartest thing to do would be to go straight to ARCAM, the Amsterdam centre of

architecture. At the start of March, the city celebrated its first-ever day of towers where 17 famous buildings opened their doors and elevators to their top floors. The buildings included massive churchis Zuiderkerk and Oude Kerk, the royal palace and the old bourse building De Beurs van Barlage, but also more modern buildings such as the riverfront Mövenpick Hotel and the Fletcher Hotel that reminds a top silk hat and Dutch cheese. To relax, go to Vondelpark which is also an educational experience: the 19th century park pavilion runs a daily film program from silent to contemporary films. It used to house the Dutch Film Museum which has now moved to EYE, a new must-see film museum located in Eastern Docklands. The concentration of art treasures here almost exceeds the human limits of tolerance and Vondelpark is a great place to see them all – just a few minutes walk away is Museumsplein that includes the Van Gogh Museum, the Dutch State Museum (Rijiksmuseum) and modern art museum Stedelijk.

destination To rest your eyes, go to Concertgebow in Museumsplein where the acoustics is comparable to that of the Vienna Concert Hall. Those who wish to peek into the daily life of a truly wealthy 19th century Dutch family should visit the mansion of the van Loon family at Keizersgracht (Emperor’s Channel). It is one of the most influential families in the Netherlands: in 1600s the patriarch Willem van Loon was one of the founders of the Dutch East India Company, and several members of the family have been Mayors of Amsterdam. Architecture and cinema fans can rejoice over the freshly refurbished PathĂ© Tuschinski cinema that hosts the finest movie premiers and the interior is a ticket straight to the golden era of art deco. One of the best examples of modern Amsterdam is Eastern Docklands, a massive former port area that has been converted into a residential district. It functioned as a port only about a hundred years, until the end of the 20th century when the Dutch decided that this vast area next to the city centre needs life and people. In recent years, many culture and entertainment centres have been opened here.

Journalist Mari Kodres and Amsterdam fan Tanel Unt recommend. Go when the weather is nice. Amsterdam is a city for walking, so I suggest you to wear suitable clothes. There are many bike rentals but I would recommend walking, because the traffic on bike lanes demands extreme attention even from an experienced biker, so you wouldn’t be able to properly enjoy the scenery. Rent a bike for a few hours if you want to visit some place further away but don't plan to spend a whole day on a bicycle. If you have a young soul and you don't mind backpackers then stay at the Flying Pig Downtown Hostel, world famous for the relaxed atmosphere in real Amsterdam style. The hostels are always full of interesting people and the Pig bars are the best place in town to have a drink or an unforgettable party. Drinks are (relatively) cheap, the hostel staff is awesome and they can answer any question you might have about Amsterdam’s day- or nightlife.

destination Once settled at the hostel, my next stop is always at Dave's Coffee Connection, a small coffee shop near the Dam Square. Their coffee is consistently excellent, they open early and Dave is a wonderful host. Eat the ham panini if you're hungry or enjoy their cakes and pastries. Afterwards, take a boat ride on the canal; it’s a good way to see the city. If you want to do some shopping, go to one of the many markets (Bloemenmarkt - the flower market, Boerenmarkt (on Noordermarkt) – organic food market). They're fun also just to walk around and look at things or sample local foods. Lunch in De Kas (Dutch for „greenhouse”), a restaurant located in the Frankendael Park, proves that mass dining can be delicious. Almost all that is put on the plate comes from the local soil. If you wish to take some Dutch cuisine home, take a stroll to the Marqt marketplace and ask for Stroopwafels dripping with syrup. Around downtown there are many fantastic bars and cafĂ©s. Homegrown Fantasy at Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal is a friendly place, less touristy

than most. Meat lovers shouldn’t skip the Burger Bar restaurants. Freshly ground 100% Black Angus or Wagyu beef cooked just as you wish and a big pile of fries for a reasonable price make it one of my favourite places to eat in Amsterdam downtown. Don't go to any of the vaguely South-American restaurants that line the streets, they're overpriced tourist traps. Affordable and excellent Indian, Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants can be found a bit off the main tourist routes. For your evening entertainment, all depends on your personal preferences. You can find anything from grand opera to the red light districts, ultramodern night clubs to classical jazz concerts.

Ta on naisteadlane, kes vajab enda ĂŒmber inimesi ning on valmis mis tahes auditooriumile geenitehnoloogiast rÀÀkima. Olgu siis tegu gĂŒmnasistide vĂ”i Cosmopolitani lugejatega. Laborilaua tagant vĂ€lja murdmine ja esinemisoskus tulid koos teadusaasta saadiku tiitli ja visa tööga. Riin Tamm ei tee teaduse populariseerimises nii suuri jĂ€releandmisi, et see pĂ€ris teadustsirkuseks muutuks. Mitte nagu poppides teadussaadetes vĂ”i AHHAA keskuse teadusteatris, kus alailma midagi muliseb, plahvatab vĂ”i sĂ€hvatab. „Noorele, kes lĂ€heb ĂŒlikooli geenitehnoloogiat Ă”ppima, vĂ”ib olla suur pettumus, et laboris tegelikult midagi sellist ei toimu,” ĂŒtleb noorteadlane, kes on kĂŒll ka ise neis ĂŒritustes kaasa löönud.

Ehkki ta ei vĂ€lista, et vĂ”iks jĂ€reldoktorantuuri mĂ”nes vĂ€lisriigis ette vĂ”tta, peab ta ikkagi Tartut ideaalseks teaduse tegemise ja elamise kohaks. Ta on kĂ€inud Tartu Ülikooli VÀÀrikate ĂŒlikoolis vananemise teemalisel seminaril eakatele rÀÀkimas sellest, kuidas inimese eluiga ja geenid on omavahel seotud. Lisaks farmakogeneetikateemalisele doktoritööle on see tema teine suur uurimisteema. „Oi, see on tĂ”esti vĂ€ga keeruline,” oli ĂŒks daam auditooriumis ohanud. Riin Tamm teeb kĂ”ik, et need asjad pisutki mĂ”istetavamad oleksid. Ta kĂ€ib ka Tallinnas esinemas ning on nĂ”ustanud Tervishoiumuuseumi, kuidas koostada pĂŒsiekspositsiooni jaoks inimgenoomiteemalist stendi. Tallinnas möödub aga mĂ”nigi Ă”htu reggae-DJ ja kunstniku Tarvi Laamanni sĂ”bralikus peres. Kas doktoritöö, mille tarvis uurimine on kestnud aastaid ja mida ta kaks kuud Barcelonas kavandas ning lihvis, saab kaitstud sĂŒgisel vĂ”i uue aasta alguses, pole veel selge.

NĂ€iteks: millised geenid vastutavad silmavĂ€rvi ja erinevate haiguste kujunemise eest ning miks ma söön rohkem saia kui leiba. Millal aga jĂ”uab tervist puudutav info perearstini? Töö selles suunas kĂ€ib, aga see peab olema vĂ€ga hĂ€sti lĂ€bi mĂ”eldud. TĂ€napĂ€eval tehakse imelisi geeniteste, millega saab mÀÀrata sportlikkuse mÀÀra, korrigeerida toitumist, uurida oma vĂ”imalikku paksuks minemist jne. „VĂ€ga ennatlik on praegu nendesse testidesse tĂ”simeelselt suhtuda,” ohkab teadlane.

persoon PĂ”hjalikult on inimgenoomist uuritud ainult 2 protsenti Oleks vaid rohkem teadlasi, kes geene uuriksid ja rohkem arste, kes neid uurimustulemusi rakendada suudaksid. Areneb ju geenitehnoloogia peaaegu sama kiiresti kui infotehnoloogia, 2 protsenti inimgenoomist on lĂ€bi uuritud, kuid ka ĂŒlejÀÀnus, seni nn rĂ€mps-DNA-ks peetus esineb seaduspĂ€rasusi ja infot, mida veel hĂ€sti ei tunta. Riin Tamm on ĂŒlimalt rahul uute tööruumidega vastses hoones. Tal on eraldi kabinet oma seitsme juhendatava tudengiga töötamiseks ja iseiseivasse töösse sĂŒvenemiseks, tal on vĂ”imalik kasutada palju uut aparatuuri ja roboteid. Suurt rÔÔmu teeb talle see, kui tal on Ă”nnestunud mĂ”ne ebakindla ĂŒliĂ”pilasega motiveeriv vestlus pidada ja eriala vĂ”lusid selgitada. „VĂ”i on Ă”nnestunud mĂ”ni uurimisteema atraktiivseks muuta,” ĂŒtleb ta. Riin Tamm eelistab iga kell laboritööd ehk mĂ€rga katset analĂŒĂŒsile arvutis. Kuid peale vĂ€ljaĂ”ppinud laborantide polegi teistel eriti vĂ”imalik laboritööd teha. ÜliĂ”pilased on vahel lausa pettunud, et nad vaid tulemusi analĂŒĂŒsida saavad. SeetĂ”ttu pĂŒĂŒab juhendaja leida kas vĂ”i fragmendi mĂ”nest projektist, et tudengite lĂ”putööd sisaldaksid ka katselist osa. Ühtpidi on Riin Tamm olnud teadusaasta saadik (ĂŒks neljast naisest 26 teadlase hulgas), kes on geneetikat ja meditsiini populariseerinud. Teisalt on ta veendunud, et genoomist tulenevate seaduspĂ€rasuste vĂ€ljaĂŒtlemisega inimesele peab olema ettevaatlik. Mida hakata peale teadmisega, et sinu risk haigestuda mĂ”nda tĂ”ppe on 0,1 protsendi asemel 1 protsent? Ning see vĂ”ib uute uurimustulemuste selgudes muutuda. Oma isiklikke geene pole teadlane tahtnud kunagi uurida, aga kĂŒllap on need kaasatud mĂ”nda uuringusse, arvab ta.

Geen ĂŒtleb, kui palju ravimit vaja on Riin Tamme igapĂ€evane uurimisteema on ravimite lagundamise kiirus ja seega inimorganimide vastuvĂ”tlikkus ravimitele. Ravimi sobivuse mÀÀrab just see, kui kiiresti ensĂŒĂŒm teda organismis lagundada aitab. EnsĂŒĂŒm, mille aktiivsust ta tahab geenidega seostada, on punastes vererakkudes ja seda saab mÔÔta veeniverest, kasutamata maksakudet. Kui inimesel on geenides mutatsioonid, siis tekitab ravim kĂ”rvaltoimeid vĂ”i ei mĂ”ju. NĂ€iteks

persoon uurib ta tiopuriin-metĂŒĂŒltransferaasi ehk TPMTgeeni. Umbes kĂŒmnel protsendil Eesti elanikest leidub seal mutatsioone. See tĂ€hendab, et vĂ€hemalt ĂŒhele inimesele kĂŒmnest tekitavad need ravimid raskeid kĂ”rvaltoimeid. „Mutatsioon on nagu katkine raudteerööbas, kust rong edasi ei lĂ€he,” vĂ”rdleb teadlane. Riin Tamme bakalaureuse- ja magistritööst on vĂ€lja kasvanud farmakoloogiline test, mis on arvatud Eestis leukeemia ehk verevĂ€hihaigete laste raviplaani. Keha vastuvĂ”tuvĂ”imest lĂ€htuvalt on vĂ”imalik leida Ă”ige ravimidoos ja tĂ€pne ravim. „Ma olen farmakogeneetilisi uuringuid teinud bakalaureuseĂ”ppest peale ja mingil ajal said ideed otsa. Ei teadnud, mida teemaga edasi teha ning see jĂ€igi paariks aastaks seisma,” sĂ”nab ta. Kuid tĂ€nu suurema rahvusvahelise uurimisgrupiga liitumisele sai ta doktoritöö jĂ€tkamiseks hoo taas sisse. „Arvan, et leidsime uue markeri, mis vĂ”iks anda lisainfot, miks eri inimeste puhul selle ensĂŒĂŒmi aktiivsus erinev on,” selgitab uurija, tunnistades, et info peab kinnitust leidma. Muidugi on erinevaid markereid ja ravimidoosi vahelisi seoseid palju

44

uuritud, aga kĂŒsimus on selles, kuivĂ”rd neid tulemusi suudetakse meditsiinilises praktikas rakendada. „Olen kĂ€inud TÜ sise-, sĂŒdame- ja nĂ€rvikliinikus ning geneetikakeskuses tutvustamas nii enda kui ka teaduskirjanduses leiduvaid uurimusi selle kohta, mis vĂ”imalusi need uuringud annavad, aga arstid on praegu veel skeptilised,” ĂŒtleb teadlane. „Esiteks on kĂŒsimus, kes kalli geenitesti eest tasub, ning teiseks, mis selle infoga peale hakata.” Mitmete testide kohta ei ole konkreetseid vastuseid, kas peaks ravimidoosi suurendama, vĂ€hendama vĂ”i ravimit vahetama. Arstid tahavad konkreetsemaid soovitusi. Igal juhul pole loota vĂ”i karta, et farmakogeneetilised testid niipea vĂ€ga massiliseks muutuksid.

Kas eluiga on geenides kinni? „Ühel pĂ€eval visati laboris nalja, et mis sa siin pikaealisuse uuringutega mĂ€ssad, teleris ĂŒks ekspert ĂŒtles, et eluiga pole geenidega seotud,” meenutab Riin Tamm.

persoon Andres Metspalu oli ta selle teema juurde suunanud. „Eakad polnud meie jaoks mitte vanuses 60 ja enam aastat (nemad olid meie jaoks liiga noored), vaid ĂŒle 80-aastased,” rÀÀgib naine. Kahjuks oli Eestis nende geenidoonorite hulgas vĂ€he mehi, aga ka neid oleks huvitav uurida, sest kui juba mehed nii vanaks elavad, on nad tunduvalt tervemad kui sama vanad naised. Teadlane on veendunud, et see, kui vanaks inimene elab, ja see, kas ta veedab oma viimased aastad haigevoodis vĂ”i mitte, on geenides kinni. Ta vĂ”ttis end kokku ja kirjutas ETV-sse „Terevisioonile”, et pĂ€ris nii, nagu nende ekspert ĂŒtles, asjad ikka ei ole ja tuleks kutsuda esinema keegi, kes vĂ”iks teemat veel kajastada. ETV kutsus esinema hoopis Riinu enda ja ta on seal kĂ€inud juba mitu korda. RÀÀkimata esinemistest raadios ja trĂŒkimeedias. Esimene kord pĂ”lved kĂŒll vĂ€risesid, aga nĂŒĂŒdseks on ta pidanud teaduskonverentsil ettekande meediaga suhtlemisest. Kindlasti oli suur vahe tema esimesel loengul, mida ta ĂŒhes gĂŒmnaasiumis pidas, ja viimasel, mille ta on ette kandnud ligi poolesajas koolis. „Need on nagu öö ja pĂ€ev, eks ma olen arenenud, leidnud sobivaid vĂ”rdlusi, vaadanud mentoriga koos ettekande ĂŒle,” ĂŒtleb Riin Tamm, kes leiab, et kĂ”ike on vĂ”imalik nĂ€idete varal lihtsalt seletada. Kord pĂ€rast esinemist Tallinnas Tartu Ülikooli nĂ€dala raames oli ta rÔÔmsalt ĂŒllatunud, kui tudengisatelliidi programmi Estcube-1 eestvedaja fĂŒĂŒsik Mart Noorma teatas, et naisteaduri ettekanne oli pannud tema poja teaduse ja teadlaste elu vastu huvi tundma.

Eliitkool ei tee professorit Riin Tamm on sĂŒndinud kĂŒll Tartus, kuid ĂŒles kasvanud PĂ”lvamaal Peril, kuhu tema veterinaarist isa ja lastearstist ema tööle suunati, kui Riin oli poolteiseaastane ning vanem Ă”de Piret lasteaialaps. „Seitsme kilomeetri kaugusel PĂ”lvast asuv Peri oli imeline koht ĂŒles kasvamiseks,” ĂŒtleb naine.

keset Tartut elades toast vĂ€lja astuda ja inimestega suhelda, aga lapsepĂ”lve peab ta kauniks. Keskkooli lĂ”petas ta Tartus ja Ă”ppis vanema Ă”e eeskujul Miina HĂ€rma nimelises gĂŒmnaasiumis, aga elukutsevaliku suhtes oli nĂ”utu. Ta teadis, et arstiks Ă”ppimiseks ei jĂ€tku tal tahet ning astus pĂ€rast keskkooli hoopis isa eeskujul ja rÔÔmuks veterinaarmeditsiini Ă”ppima. Pidas seal vastu kaks kuud ja sai aru, et pole ĂŒldse see tĂŒĂŒp ning eriala teda ei huvita. „Vaatasin ringi ja tegin suvalist tööd,” meenutab ta. NĂŒĂŒd arvab, et oli keskkoolis Ă”ppimisest vĂ€sinud ja vajas vaheldust. Isa meelehĂ€rmiks, kes arvas, et tĂŒtar on igaveseks Ă”pingutele kĂ€ega löönud, alustas ta tööd ettekandjana. „Sellest piisas, et aru saada – seda tööd ma ei taha enam kunagi teha,” muigab naine. PĂ€rast aastast pausi astus ta sĂŒgisel hoopis geenitehnoloogiat Ă”ppima, mida oli selleks ajaks vaid mĂ”ned aastad eraldi erialana Tartus Ă”petatud. Ülikooli minnes polnud tal Ă”rna aimugi, mis elukutse Ă”pitud eriala jĂ€rgi valida. „Mulle nĂ€is, et see on ĂŒsna lĂ€hedane meditsiinile, aga geenitehnoloogia rakendusvĂ”imalused olid tume maa,” meenutab ta. MagistriĂ”ppesse minek tundus nelja-aastase bakalaureuse jĂ€rel asjade loomuliku kĂ€iguna nagu ka hilisem doktorantuur. „Minu toonased eeskujud olid suured ja targad, tahtsin ka selliseks saada,” meenutab ta. „Laborisse jĂ”udsin ma suhteliselt hilja, kolmanda kursuse lĂ”pus,” ĂŒtleb noorteadlane, kes juba tudengina laboritööd tahtis teha. Ta otsis telefoniraamatust ĂŒles Tartus tegutsevad biotehnoloogiafirmad ning pÀÀseski ĂŒhte neist molekulaardiagnostilisi teste tegema. Riin Tamm tegi viie aastaga lĂ€bi karjÀÀri laborandist teaduri ja laborispetsialistini. „Olen vĂ€ga rahul, et sinna lĂ€ksin ja pipeteerimisega tegelema hakkasin, pĂ€rast viit aastat sain biotehnoloogiafirma tööst maitse suhu, siis oli minu jaoks lagi kĂ€es ning otsustasin teaduslabori kasuks,” ĂŒtleb ta. „Kindlasti polnud mul ĂŒliĂ”pilasena eesmĂ€rki teadlaseks hakata, kĂŒllap polnud ma ka eriti sĂ€rav tudeng, aga ometi teen nĂŒĂŒd teadust.” „Ei, ma ei saa ju doktoritööd pooleli jĂ€tta,” ohkab ta ning vaatab rahuolevalt oma „elu teeb omad korrektiivid” kĂ”hukest. Juunikuuni ja lapse sĂŒnnini on veel aega. Aga ega ka doktoriloeng enam mĂ€gede taga pole.

Riin Tamm, the 31-year-old researcher of the Estonian Genome Centre and holder of a doctoral degree, is one of the specialists unlocking the information held in them.

learly, Riin Tamm is not your (stereotypical) mad researcher who lives in a laboratory and doesn’t know how to talk to people. She is a female researcher who needs people around her and who is ready to talk to any audience about gene technology, including high school graduates and readers of Cosmopolitan. She says her presentation skills came with hard work and with the title of the ambassador of the Year of Science. In raising awareness on science, Riin Tamm avoids turning science into a circus. It’s not like in popular TV science shows or in the science theatre of AHHAA Centre where all you see are bubbles, explosions and flashes. „It could be a disappointment for young people who enrol in a university to study gene technology and then find out

person that a real laboratory is nothing like that,“ says the young researcher who has often participated in such events. Among scientists, she has above-average communication skills, she is not afraid to wear bright clothes (creations of young fashion designers such as Triinu Pungits) or to admit that she likes reggae music. Above all, she likes dancing. „It is easy for me to prove young people that science is not only done by lab rats in wrinkled suites,” she says, presenting herself as a young researcher Riin T.

Of old and young „I could not only do science. I sometimes need to get up and meet people,” says Riin Tamm. Although she does not rule out taking a post-doctoral study abroad, she says that Tartu is the perfect place for being a scientist and for living as well. She has given speeches in the College of Senior Citizens of the University of Tartu to elderly people about ageing and how people’s longevity

and genes are linked. In addition to her doctoral thesis on farmacogenetics, this is her second most important research topic. „It's really complicated,” said a member of the audience after her presentation. Riin Tamm is doing everything to make these complex things understandable to everyone. She goes to speak also in Tallinn and has given advice to the Health Care Museum on how to present the issue of human genome. When in Tallinn, she often visits the family of her friend, Tarrvi Laamann, a reggae DJ and an artist. Her doctoral thesis has taken years of research and she spent two months refining it in Barcelona, but she does not yet know if she will defend it this autumn or next year, because this summer she is going to give birth to her first baby with his partner Tarmo. I won’t ask all the questions you could ask from a gene researcher who is expecting a baby. I sometimes find myself thinking about the genes I donated to the Estonian Gene Centre storaged in small tubes helping to discover new things as technologies, robots, analytics, etc develop.

person The questionnaire of a gene donor itself has 300 questions and could be a basis of a research paper finding answers to questions like which genes determine the eye colour and specific diseases or why do I eat more white bread than brown bread. And when will family doctors have access to this information? The work is underway, but it must be very well prepared. There is now a craze of gene testing on issues like athleticism, nutrition, obesity, etc. “It’s far too early to take any of these tests seriously,” she sighs.

Only 2% of human genome has been studied in detail If only there were more researchers to study genes and more doctors to implement the findings. Gene technology is now developing as quickly as information technology. By now, only 2% of human genome has been researched in depth, but there is also regularity and hidden information in the rest of it that is sometimes labelled as trash DNA. Riin Tamm is very happy with the new work place. She has a separate office for guiding her seven students and for working in isolation. There is also a lot of new equipment and robots. She always tries to motivate hesitating students and introduce the charms of science and if she succeeds, it makes her really happy. „Also if I have managed to make some research field attractive,” she adds. Riin Tamm prefers actual laboratory work or so-called wet test to computer analysis. But laboratory work is limited to trained laboratory staff. Students are sometimes disappointed that all they can do is analyse lab results. As a supervisor, she always attempts to find a suitable project so that graduation papers would also include actual testing. As the ambassador of Year of Science (and one of four women among the 26 researchers) who is promoting genetics and medicine, she is convinced she must be careful when telling generelated regularities to people. What to do with the knowledge that your risk to contract a disease is not 0.1%, but 1%? Besides, this info may change when new research methods are evolved. She says that she has never wanted to study her own genes, but is confident that they are part of some test.

person Genes say how much medicine a person needs Her daily research subject is the speed of decomposition of medicines and the sensitivity of human body to medicines. After all, the effect of medicines depends on how quickly enzymes help to decompose it in the body. Active enzymes that she wants to link with genes are found in red blood cells and can be measured from the vein blood, without using liver tissue. If genes have mutations, the medicine can create side-effects or have no effect at all. Among oth-

ers, she is studying the TPMT gene which has a mutation in about 10% of Estonian population. This means that at least on one in every ten people these medicines cause several side-effects. „Mutation is like a broken rail that can stop the train,” she says. The bachelor’s and master’s theses of Riin Tamme have been the basis of a pharmacological test that in Estonia is included in the treatment plan of children suffering from leukaemia. Depending on the body’s capacity it is possible to determine the right medication dosage and the necessary medication. „I have been in pharmacogenetic studies since my bachelor’s studies and at some point I just ran out of ideas. I had no idea what to do next and so I put the issue on the shelf for a few years,” she says. Soon, when she joined a large international study group she re-started the subject for her doctoral thesis. „I think that we’ve found a new marker that could give us additional information why enzymes have different activity levels in different people,” she adds, admitting that it needs proof. Markers and links between dosages have been studied in depth, but the question is how to implement these findings in practical medicine. „I have been presenting these studies in various clinics and in the Genetics Centre of the University of Tartu, but the doctors are still very sceptical,” she explains. „First, it’s a question of who pays for the gene test and, secondly, what to do with the information.” There have been many tests with no answer to whether we should increase the dosage, reduce it or change medication. Doctors want clearer recommendations. So, pharmacogenetic tests will probably not become massive in the near future.

Does ageing depend on genes? „One day we were joking in the lab that we should stop researching longevity because one expert had said on TV that age was not linked to genes,” recalls Riin Tamm. At that time the laboratory was one of the 18 research establishments in Europe that were researching ageing. It was her mentor Professor Andres Metspalu who guided Riin Tamm to this subject.

„For us, elderly people were not those in their 60s (they were too young for us), but those over 80 years old,” she says. Unfortunately, there are very few men among gene donors in Estonia, although it would be interesting because at that age, men are much healthier than women. The researcher is convinced that the longevity of people and whether they spend their final years in hospital beds or enjoying life depends on genes. She then wrote to the breakfast TV programme Terevisioon and explained that the expert had not been right and told them they should ask someone else to talk about it on TV. ETV then asked her to come on the show and she has done so several times, plus she has also given a number of radio and printing press interviews. She admits that she was somewhat nervous before her first public appearance. Now, she has even given a presentation at a scientific conference about media communication. Naturally, the first lesson that she ever gave in a high school and the lecture that she has now given already in fifty different schools are two completely different things. „They are like night and day. I have become better, found suitable comparisons and had my presentation checked by my mentor,” she says, adding that everything can be explained in simple terms. Once, after a presentation in Tallinn during the Tartu

Not all graduates of elite schools become professors Riin Tamm was born in Tartu, but grew up in PĂ”lva County in Peri where his father and mother started to work as a veterinarian and a paediatrician, respectively, when Riin was 18 months old and her older sister Piret was in kindergarten. „Peri, located seven kilometres from PĂ”lva, was a great place to grow up,” she says. She agrees with sociologist Marju Lauristin who says that elite schools don’t make anyone a scientist or a cabinet minister. When she went to school, her family moved to PĂ”lva. During the second year of school, she enrolled in a music school. „I didn’t have time to just hang around,” she says. Now, she is not anxious to return to the countryside and prefers to live in the middle of Tartu and mingle with people, but she considers her childhood a beautiful time.

ied in the Miina HĂ€rma Gymnasium, but had no idea what to study next. She knew that she did not have what it takes to become a doctor and, following the footsteps of his father, she enrolled in veterinary medicine. After two months, she understood that the specialty was not exciting enough and decided it was not for her. „I was looking around and working casual jobs,” she recalls. She now believes that she was simply tired of studying and needed a break. She started work as a waitress, much to the dismay of her father who thought that this was the end of her university studies. „It was enough to understand that this is one job that I never want to do again,” she smiles. After a one-year pause she continued her studies in the autumn in gene technology that by that time had only been taught for a few years in Tartu as a special subject. She enrolled without having any idea of whether this profession would suit her. „It seemed that it was close enough to medicine, although I knew nothing about the fields of application of gene technology,” she recalls. Enrolling in master’s studies seemed like a natural follow-up to four years of bachelor’s studies, as did the doctoral studies. „My role models at that time were great and smart, and I wanted to become one,” she recalls. „I arrived to the laboratory relatively late, at the end of the third year,” says the young researcher who had been attracted by lab work already as a student. She looked up biotech firms in Tartu from a phone book and one of them hired her to do molecular biology tests. In five years, she went from a lab staff member to a researcher and lab specialist. „I am very happy that I went there and got involved in pipetting. In five years I knew the work of a biotech firm inside out. That was all I needed and I decided in favour of a science laboratory,” she says. „As a student, it was clearly not my objective to become a researcher, and I probably was not an excellent student either, but I am doing science now.” „I cannot stop my doctoral studies,” she says, looking at her belly with a look of „life is making its own adjustments.” There is still time until June when the baby is due. But the doctoral lectures are not too far away either.

rannajoont purjetamiseks

E

estlased on end alati pidanud mererahvaks ja pĂ”hjusega – suurem osa Eesti territooriumist on ju ĂŒmbritsetud veega: Eesti piirideks on LÀÀnemeri ja Peipsi jĂ€rv. RÀÀgitakse legende, kuidas Eesti viikingid kord seilasid Rootsi vaid selleks, et pĂ”letada maha kuningriigi kunagine pealinn Sigtuna. Legendid pajatavad, kuidas KĂ€smu mehed said rikkaks, smugeldades piiritust Soome, kus vahetult pĂ€rast iseseisvumist kehtestati kuiv seadus. VĂ€gevast ajaloost hoolimata ei ole purjetamine Eestis kĂ”ige populaarsem hobi. Osaliselt on see ilmselt seotud sellega, et NĂ”ukogude ajal oli merele vĂ”rdlemisi keeruline pÀÀseda. Okupatsiooni lĂ”ppedes polnud suuremal osal eestlastest raha, mida purjetamisele kulutada – oldi rohkem mures toiduraha leidmise pĂ€rast. NĂŒĂŒd tundub, et asjad on hakanud muutuma.

nautima vĂ”i soovitakse ka rooli keerata ja purjeid heisata. Sailingu lĂŒhemad merereisid kestavad vaid mĂ”ne tunni, pikemaid vĂ”ib mÔÔta aga isegi nĂ€dalates. „Rendime jahte vĂ€lja ka ilma kaptenita, see puhkuse veetmise viis on levinud rohkem vĂ€lismaalaste seas,” ĂŒtleb Reede. „Vahemeri on juba avastatud, nĂŒĂŒd liiguvad nad siia, rendivad aluse, seilavad nĂ€dal-kaks ringi ja lendavad tagasi.” Enamasti lepitakse jahtide rentimine sellisel moel kokku juba talvel, aga alati vĂ”ib Sailingu kontorisse helistada, sest mĂ”nikord vĂ”ib nĂ€kata ja mĂ”ni jaht vĂ”ib olla vaba, et seilata iseseisvalt Eesti

tus Eesti Jahtklubide Liidul saada toetust eraettevĂ”ttelt Vopak E.O.S. ja tuua Eestisse RS Feva klassi laevastik, et meelitada rohkem lapsi purjetamise juurde. See andis eesti lastele ja noortele esimest korda vĂ”imaluse tegeleda meeskondliku purjetamisega kahepaadis. Eelmisel aastal aitas sama ettevĂ”te tuua Eestisse teisegi noorte kahepaadiklassi 29er laevastiku. Tegemist on kiiremate ja vĂ”istluslikemate noorte kahepaatidega. JĂ€rgmine samm oleks arendada vĂ€lja olĂŒmpiaklassi 49er laevastik. „See kahepaat laiendab oluliselt noorte purjetamisvĂ”imalusi. Paljudele sobib nii isiksusetĂŒĂŒbist kui fĂŒĂŒsilistest eeldustest lĂ€htuvalt individuaalse ĂŒhepaadi asemel paremini meeskondlik kahepaat. Paljude jaoks tundub mitmekesi purjetamine ka pĂ”nevam. Erilist heameelt teebki see, et nĂŒĂŒd saavad noored kasvĂ”i oma esimeses trennis kohe kahepaadis sĂ”itma hakata, selle asemel et oodata, kuni nad olümpiaklassi 470 vĂ”i 49er kasvavad,” rÀÀkis Kallas.

Purjetamisriik Eesti Meil on ĂŒle 1500 saare ja n

laiu, mis moodustavad peaaegu 10% Eestimaa pinnast. Vaid kĂŒmnekonnal neist on pĂŒsielanikud, ĂŒlejÀÀnud on lindude pĂ€ralt ning pesitsusajal liikumispiirangutega. Suurimatele saartele – Saaremaale, Hiiumaale ja Vormsile – pÀÀseb aasta lĂ€bi praamiga, talvel ka ĂŒle jÀÀtee. Just Tallinnas peeti 1980. aastal Moskva olĂŒmpiamĂ€ngude purjeregatt. Eestlased on purjetamises koju toonud ka medaleid, kui 1992. aastal vĂ”itsid kaksikvennad TĂ”nu ja Toomas TĂ”niste pronksmedali Barcelonas ja neli aastat varem sĂ”itsid nad hĂ”bedale Soulis. Parim aeg purjetamiseks on suvi, mil pĂ€evavalgust jagub isegi peaaegu 20 tunniks. EmajĂ”el purjetamiseks on parim aeg august-september.

vetesse avastusretkele. Ja mitte ainult Eesti vetesse, Reede juhib tĂ€helepanu sellele, et kĂ”igest 40 meremiili kaugusel Tallinnast, Soome rannikul on ĂŒks tore saarestik, kus looduslik keskkond on hoopis teistsugune. „Meri ja purjetamine on ideaalne viis aeg maha vĂ”tta,” kinnitab Reede, tunnistades, et Eestis on viimastel aastatel kasvanud matkapurjetajate arv, kelle jaoks purjekas on justkui mobiilne suvila. „Purjekaga saab liikuda ĂŒhest kohast teise. Kui muidu lĂ€heks nĂ€dalaks hotelli, siis jahiga on see hea asi, et kui kusagil ei meeldi, purjetad mööda merd edasi jĂ€rgmisse kohta.”

Purjetamise populaarsus kasvab „Mina tunnetan kĂŒll, et purjetamine on muutunud populaarsemaks,” tunnistab Leida Lepik, kes on kirglik purjetaja ja pĂŒĂŒab Mariellet, LYS klassi purjekat, mille meeskonda ta kuulub, sadamast vĂ€lja viia nii tihti kui vĂ€hegi vĂ”imalik. „Purjetajate aasta tĂ€htsĂŒndmusel, Muhu VĂ€ina Regatil, on igal aastal rohkem osalejaid. Eriti kiiresti kasvab matkapurjetajate klassi LYS arvukus.” Lepikul on Ă”igus, mullu juulis osales 55. Muhu VĂ€ina Regatil ĂŒle 100 jahi, kokku oli jahtide pardail 700 inimest. Osales ka rekordarv folkboot klassi jahte, 12. See tĂ€hendab, et nende jaoks tehti regatil eraldi klass ja esimest korda said nad omavahel mÔÔtu vĂ”tta. Purjekale, mille prototĂŒĂŒp tĂ€histas

mullu 70. sĂŒnnipĂ€eva, oli see kena kingitus. Lepik tunnistab, et purjetajate juurdekasv teeb teda rÔÔmsaks – rohkem purjetajaid tĂ€hendab rohkem purjekaid, see omakorda vajadust suuremate sadamate jĂ€rele, mis omakorda tĂ€hendab, et omanikud peavad sadamaid rohkem korda tegema, et nĂ”udlust rahuldada. Ja loomulikult tĂ€hendab rohkem purjetajaid, et sadamates on rohkem rÔÔmsaid ja toredaid inimesi. Lepiku enda alus Marielle on leidnud kodu Lennusadamas, peaaegu Tallinna kesklinnas, otse uue muuseumi kĂ”rval. Hetkel ootab Marielle kannatamatult vette tagasipÀÀsemist – hooaeg lĂ”ppes Marielle jaoks seekord alles 2013. aasta jaanuaris ja juba aprilli lĂ”pus lastakse purjekas uuesti vette. See, et Marielle hooaeg lĂ”ppes jaanuaris, on Eesti mĂ”istes ĂŒsna ebatavaline. Enamasti pannakse Eestis purjetamishooajale punkt septembris-oktoobris, kui ilmad lĂ€hevad kĂŒlmemaks. „Aga meri oli lahti, nii et me mĂ”tlesime – miks mitte,” naerab Lepik ja kinnitab, et Marielle kĂ€is jaanuarini merel peaaegu igal nĂ€dalal. „Kui on soojad riided ja normaalne tuul, et ei ole kĂ”rget lainet, siis on talvel purjetada vĂ€ga mĂ”nus.” Marielle hooajalĂ”pu meresĂ”it oli erakordne veel teiselgi pĂ”hjusel. Nimelt kĂ€isid koos eestlastega purjetamas kĂŒlalised Namiibiast ja Saksamaalt, kelle jaoks see oli ĂŒldse esimene purjekareis elus. Lepik kinnitab, et hoolimata talve kargest hingusest jĂ€id vĂ€lismaalased oma esimese purjetamiskogemusega rahule.

KĂ”ige sagedamini kĂŒlastavad Eesti vĂ€ikesadamaid soomlased, kelle lemmikuteks on Dirhami, ESS Kalevi ja Kuressaare jahisadam. Aga vĂ€hemalt korra on Eesti sadamasse – Ringsu - purjetanud ka ĂŒks Jamaika alus. Keskmiselt jÀÀdakse ĂŒhte sadamasse peatuma pĂ€evaks-paariks, pikemaid peatusi teevad alused Tallinna Jahtklubi sadamas ja Heltermaa sadamas.

E

stonians have always considered themselves to be a maritime nation, and no wonder – most of this small Baltic country's territory is surrounded by water, either the Baltic Sea or Lake Peipus. Legends of Estonian Vikings describe how they once sailed to Sweden only to burn down the kingdom's former capital, Sigtuna. Another story tells that the people from the small village of KĂ€smu on the northern coast of Estonia, made a fortune smuggling vodka to Finland when Estonia's northern neighbour introduced the dry law right after becoming independent. Despite the glorious history, sailing is not an extremely popular hobby in Estonia. Probably it is partly because going to the sea during the Soviet era was complicated and partly because when the occupation ended, most Estonians didn't have enough money to spend it on sailing as they were more concerned with making ends meet. Now, the situation is changing. „Indeed, we had 50 years of sea-free life,” says Merike Reede, head of a company called Sailing (www.sailing.ee) in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. As the name indicates, Sailing deals with taking people out to the sea. They teach people sailing and rent out yachts, both with and without the crew – so customer can decide whether they just want to enjoy being at sea or get into serious sailing. Their shortest trips take just a few hours, longer ones last up to weeks.

Estonia – great place for sailing Estonia has over 1500 islands and islets, n

that means nearly 10% of the country's land. Only about ten islands are permanently settled: the rest are kingdoms of birds and during the hatching season, access can be limited. The largest islands – Saaremaa, Hiiumaa and Vormsi – can be visited year-round by ferry; in winter, ice roads are opened as well. It was Tallinn that hosted the Olympic regatta during the Moscow Olympics in 1980. Estonians have won a few medals in Olympic regattas. Twin brothers TĂ”nu and Toomas TĂ”niste won the third place in Barcelona in 1992, in the 470 category. Four years earlier in Soul, they were second. The best time for sailing is summer when there is up to 20 hours of daylight. AugustSeptember is the best time to go sailing on EmajĂ”gi.

Estonia „Renting a yacht without a captain is more common among foreigners as for them it is a way to spend their holiday,” Reede says. „They are usually people that have already explored the Mediterranean and are now turning their eyes towards Estonia. They rent a yacht, spend a week or two exploring Estonia and fly back.” Although most such peer to peer boat rental deals have been made already during the winter, it is always worth to give Sailing a call to see if they have a spare yacht to go discovering Estonian waters on your own. And not only Estonian, Reede points out that an interesting archipelago on the coast of Finland is just 40 nautical miles from Tallinn. „Sailing gives you the opportunity for a total time out. Plus a way to move from one place to another,” Reede says, admitting that the number of Estonians who see their yachts as a summer cottage, has grown during the last years. She believes it gives a significant advantage to the holiday. „Otherwise you go to a hotel and spend the whole week in one spot. But with a yacht, you can always just change the location whenever you feel like it.” „I feel that sailing is becoming more popular,” says Leida Lepik, a passionate sailor who tries to take her boat, LYS class Marielle to the sea as often as she can. „Every year more and more people participate in the Moonsund Regatta – the highlight of the sailing season. The LYS yacht class has grown especially fast.” Lepik is right. Last year more than 100 yachts and 700 people participated in the 55th Moonsund

Regatta. The number of Nordic Folkboat yachts was also higher than ever – 12. This meant they could compete in a separate category for the first time. In 2012, the prototype of Nordic Folkboat celebrated its 70th birthday, so this was a great present. Lepik admits this development makes her happy as more sailors mean more boats, which means bigger demand for ports, which means port owners have to renovate their ports in order to sustain the demand. And of course, more sailors means more jolly people in the ports. Lepik's Marielle has found a home at Lennusadam, Sea Plane Harbour, located almost in the centre of Tallinn, right next to the museum. At the moment Marielle is anxiously waiting to get back into the water – her season ended in the beginning of January 2013, and will start again at the end of April. To end a season in January is pretty extraordinary for Estonia, usually sailing season so far up north ends in September-October when the weather gets colder. „But the sea was not frozen, so we thought why not,” Lepik laughs and says that Marielle was sailing almost every week until January. „If you are dressed warm and the wind is not too strong, so the waves are not too bad, it's really nice to sail during winter.” Another extraordinary thing about Marielle's season’s final trip was the two foreign guests, one from Namibia and another from Germany. It was the first time ever to go sailing for them and Lepik assures they were very happy with the experience, despite the winter breeze.

A few years ago Estonian Yachting n

Union (EYU) managed to get support from a private enterprise, Vopak E.O.S., and import a fleet of RS Feva boats that gave an opportunity for kids to test out sailing in teams of two. The Secretary General of the Estonian Yachting Union then said that creating a RS Feva fleet is one of the most influential accomplishments for Estonian sailing. „This boat widens the opportunities to sail for kids. Many of them prefer sailing in pairs because of their personality or physique and also just because it’s more fun. It makes me really happy that Estonian kids can now start sailing in groups of two already at their first training session. They don't have to wait anymore, until they grow into the Olympic 470 or 49er categories”.

Traditional Estonian Industry

Estonian Oil Shale Oil shale is an Estonian national mineral resource. The industrial usage of oil shale commenced in the previous century. Oil shale was initially used as a solid fuel, but at the beginning of the 1920s, oil processing became primary. The Estonian First Oil Shale Industry, founded in 1918, the predecessor of the current Viru Keemia Grupp, is now the oldest operating oil shale company in the world. Before World War II, the reputation of the oil shale industry in Estonia was very high. Estonia achieved energy independence thanks to oil shale and became an exporter of oil and oil products. In the ïŹrst nine months of 1939, 8% of the export income of the state was received from processed oil shale. Oil shale came to be 400-450 million years ago, during the Ordovician period. Kukersite, the major mineral of Estonian oil shale, received its name from the Kukruse Manor of the Estonian Province, at which it was discovered and mined in the 19th century. An oil shale deposit is three metres thick and located horizontally at a depth of 10-60 meters. Mining is therefore simple and not particularly expensive. The mineable reserves are currently 1 billion tons, which amount to approximately 1 billion barrels when converted to oil.

There have been 20 mining enterprises in total in Estonia. Currently, the open casts of Eesti Energia, KiviĂ”li Keemiatööstus and Kunda Nordic Tsement are in operation. There are also three underground mines – two for Eesti Energia, and the newest, the Ojamaa underground mine, opened in 2013, is operated by VKG. The annual volume of mining amounts to approximately 17 million tons. The Estonia underground mine, which commenced operation in 1972, is one of the biggest in Europe in terms of run-of-mine (10 million tons per year). Kukersite is one of the best in the world. Unlike most oil shale, kukersite does not contain radioactive compounds, heavy metals, or other harmful impurities. The organic matter content of kukersite is 20-55%, the caloriïŹc value is 7-19 MJ/kg and the Fischer assay is 13-36%. The industrial oil yield is 13-16%. Upon burning, the lime contained in oil shale binds the sulphur and limits the emission of sulphur compounds to the environment. Enno Reinsalu Authorised Mining Engineer, Professor Emeritus

Lastega töötamine on lĂ”bus, vahetu ja siiras. Nad on imekspandavalt teadlikud ja nĂ”udlikud. Suur rÔÔm on nĂ€ha nende sĂ€ravaid, pisut hĂ€belikke silmi end peeglist takseerimas, kui midagi pĂ”nevat ja tavapĂ€rasest erinevat on selga pandud. ÜkskĂ”ik kui Ă€ge lĂ”ige ka ei ole, peab see last kaunistama ja liikudes mugav olema. SamavĂ”rd oluline on kangas – laste puhul tuleb kasutada mĂ”nusaid pehmed ja elastseid kangaid. Eelistan kĂŒll naturaalseid materjale sĂŒnteetilistele, kuid mĂ”nikord toetab kunstkiud naturaalse kiu omadusi. MĂ€letan lapsepĂ”lvest valget jĂ€nesenahkset kasukat, millel oli rahvuslik vöö ning millega sai uisutamas kĂ€idud. Samuti bordoopunaseid villaseid karupĂŒkse, mis uisutamast tulles vanni kohal radiaatoril kuivades vanni tilkudes pĂ”nevaid punaseid mustreid joonistasid. Veel on meeles ĂŒks vĂ€ike karvane pruunikirju vestike, millel olid toredad kulunud ilmega puidust seenekujulised nööbid. Praegugi eelistan kannaga nööpe aukudega nööpidele. Ei tea, kas töö tĂ”ttu vĂ”i miks, aga mĂ”ne sĂŒgavast lapsepĂ”lvest pĂ€rit riideeseme puhul on meeles isegi selle lĂ”hn. KĂ€sitöö on meie peres mitmeid pĂ”lvi au sees olnud. Üks vanaema oli kĂ”va Ă”mbleja, tema kappides olid alati kĂ”ige moodsamad sitsiriided virnas ja ajakirja Siluett vĂ€rskemad numbrid riiulil. Teine vanaema jĂ€lle oli suurepĂ€rane tikkija, kuduja ja heegeldaja. Mulle meeldis kaunistada nukkude pĂ€id. Meikisin nende silmi ja suud kĂŒĂŒnelakiga ja lĂ”ikasin juukseid jĂ€rjest lĂŒhemaks, kuni polnud enam midagi lĂ”igata ning kurvastusega pidin tĂ”dema, et juurde neid ei kasvanud. Joonistasin pabernukke ja siiani tuletavad koolikaaslased meelde mu vihikute sisekaante rikkalikku dekoori.

Back to childhood Merle LĂ”hmus on the Opaaa brand www.opaaa.ee As a parent, I know how important it is for children’s clothes to be comfortable. My objective is to create an interesting design and decorate it with smart details. I like the so-called little old people, in a good meaning of the word: when designing child wear I am inspired by the refined style of adults’ clothes. Working with children is fun, because they are direct and sincere, but also incredibly smart and demanding. I love seeing their bright and slightly shy eyes look at themselves in the mirror when they have put on something exciting and unusual. No matter how fancy the design, it must look good on a child and be pleasant to wear. Fabric is equally important – you need to use comfortable, soft and elastic fabrics. I myself prefer natural materials to synthetic fabrics, but sometimes artificial fibres support the qualities of natural fibres. One of the clothes I remember well from my childhood is a white rabbit skin coat with an ethnic belt that I always wore when I went skat-

ing. And also the Bordeaux-red warm woollen underwear that created exciting red patterns on the bathtub when it was dripping on a heater after skating. I also remember one small furry brownish vest that had wonderful wooden buttons and looked like a mushroom. I still prefer button hooks to buttonholes. I don’t know why, but I even remember the smell of some of my favourite childhood clothes. Handicraft has been relished in our family for several generations. One of my grandmothers was an excellent seamstress. Her closets always included the most modern cotton clothes and the latest issues of the “Siluett” fashion magazine. My other grandmother was a master of embroidery, knitting and crocheting. When I was a child I liked to decorate doll heads. I used to put nail polish on their eyes and lips and cut all their hair. I was also always drawing paper dolls and my schoolmates still recall the rich decorations of the inside covers of my exercise books.

Triin Tomingas, kaubamĂ€rgile Emma and Theo www.emmaandtheo.ee Olen suur mantlikandja ja mulle meeldib ka oma lapsi viisakalt riietada. KĂ”ik saigi alguse villasest mantlist, mis eristub tugevalt meie tĂ€navapildis valitsevatest suusajopedest ja kilekombedest. LasterĂ”ivaid disainides lĂ€htume tĂ€iskasvanute smart casual moest. Paraku ei saa lastele disainides arvestada ainult rĂ”ivaste kandja soovide ja arvamusega. Siin on ikkagi kaks poolt: lapsevanem ja laps. Neile mĂ”lemale peab asi meeldima. JĂ€lgime, et materjalid oleksid vĂ”imalikult mugavad ja tooted pikka aega kantavad. Üks hea nĂ€ide on ĂŒleskeeratavad varrukad. Lapsed kasvavad kiiresti ja selline lahendus vĂ”imaldab mantlit vĂ”i pintsakut kanda mitu hooaega. LĂ”igete vĂ€ljatöötamine on ehk kĂ”ige keerulisem. Riided peavad hĂ€sti istuma ja lastel peab olema piisavalt liikumisruumi. Lapsed ei pruugi oma rĂ”ivastest nii palju hoolida kui tĂ€iskasvanud, seega peavad lasterĂ”ivad olema kulumiskindlad ja kerge vaevaga puhastatavad. Lapsena meeldis mulle panna jalga ema kontsakingi ja keerutada end peegli ees mĂ”nes tema kleidis. VĂ”i pugeda tema musta-valge kirju mĂ”nusa villase mantli sisse ning kujutleda, et kunagi saan ka mina selliseid riideid kanda. Kui vaatan lapsepĂ”lvepilte, siis taipan, et mantlid ja pintsakud olid vĂ€ga moes. Tundub, et see mood on tagasi tulemas. Olen ĂŒks neist Ă”nnelikest inimestest, kes saab öelda, et minu töö on minu hobi. Nukkude asemel teen nĂŒĂŒd ilusaid ja kvaliteetseid riideid lastele.

Triin Tomingas, Emma and Theo brand www.emmaandtheo.ee I myself am a big fan of coats and I want to see my children wear decent clothes as well. The Emma and Theo brand started from a woollen coat for children, which is not a very common sight on the Estonian streets that are mostly conquered by winter jackets and tracksuits. Our children’s wear designs are based on the smart casual fashion of adults. However, when designing for children you cannot only consider what the children want because also parents have to like it. We make sure that the designs are as comfortable and durable as possible. For example, the folded sleeves: children grow fast and these sleeves allow them to wear a coat or a jacket for several years. Perhaps the most complicated part of the process is cutting, because the clothes must fit well, but be enough loose as well, so children could move. Since children don’t take such good care of their clothes as adults, child wear must be resistant to wear and easy to clean. As a child, I liked to put on my mother’s heels and spin in front of a mirror wearing one of her dresses, or to wiggle into one of her comfy black-and-white woollen coats and imagine how I myself would wear these clothes some day. When I look at my childhood photos, I realize how popular coats and jackets were at that time. It seems that this fashion trend is not back yet. I am one of those very happy people who can say that my job is also my hobby. Instead of designing for dolls I am now making beautiful quality clothes for children.

When we design child wear, we take into account the wishes of children. Designs can’t be too serious, they must make little girls happy. It’s a nice trip for the designer back to his or her own childhood. We have used natural fabrics, patterns and playful dots in our children’s wear. With children wear it is very important to allow room for growth. One of the brightest memories of my childhood clothes is a purple blushed dress that my mother made me according to my wishes when I was in middle school. It appears on very many class photos and I wore it until secondary school. Manual labour has always been popular in our family. Our mother tailored all our clothes, my grandmother has done handicraft her entire life and our great aunt was a constructor. I dressed all my dolls myself and, at school, also made my own clothes.

Mind inspireerivad lastekollektsiooni looma tĂŒtred. PĂ€rast esimese tĂŒtre sĂŒndi hakkasin naistekollektsioonist jĂ€rele jÀÀnud kangastest tĂŒtrele rĂ”ivaid Ă”mblema. Tasapisi hakkasin saama tellimusi oma tĂŒtre seljas nĂ€htud kleitidele ja mantlikestele. Nii kasvaski vĂ€lja lasteseeria. Lasteriiete disainimisel tuleb alati lĂ€htuda mugavusest. TĂ€iskasvanud vĂ”ivad ilu nimel kannatada, kuid laste puhul ei tule see kĂ”ne allagi. Kangad peavad olema nahasĂ”bralikud ja naturaalsed. Samuti on hea, kui lasteriideid on kerge hooldada. Minu ema on alati olnud tubli kuduja. Kui olin viieaastane, kudus ema mulle vĂ€ga armsa kleidi, millel oli kĂŒbara ja korvikesega tĂŒdruku pilt. Meie peres on rĂ€tsepatöö alati au sees olnud. Mu ema ise ei Ă”mmelnud, aga lasi endale, mulle ja Ă”ele rĂ€tsepal riideid Ă”mmelda. Valik oli poodides kasin, kuid emal oli lennukas fantaasia ja peen maitse. Eristusime Ă”ega alati rĂ”ivaste poolest teistest lastest, iga asi, mida kandsime, oli just meile disainitud ja Ă”mmelda lastud. Eks see pisik jĂ€i mullegi kĂŒlge. Õmblesime Ă”ega kĂ”ikidele oma nukkudele ise riideid ja garderoobid olid neil suured nind kirevad.

It’s my daughters who inspire me to create children’s collections. When my first daughter was born, I took the left over fabrics from my women’s collections and made her some clothes. Soon afterwards, I started to receive orders for the dresses and coats my daughter was wearing and this developed into a whole children’s collection. In designing child wear comfort is the key. Adults may be willing to suffer for beauty, but children not. Fabrics must be soft on the skin and natural. Also, children’s wear should be easy to maintain. My mother has always been good at knitting. When I was five, she made me a lovely knitted dress with an image of a girl wearing a hat and carrying a basket. Tailoring has always been popular in our family – my mother did not sew, but she had a tailor to make clothes for herself, me and my sister. The choice in the stores was limited at that time, but she had a good fantasy and a refined taste. My sister and I always looked different from other children because everything that we wore was designed and tailor-made for us. This has obviously been passed on to me. Already as a child, my sister and I tailored rich and imaginative clothes for our dolls.

Founded in 2007, this Estonian startup soon understood that the future belongs to mobile payments and payment apps for smartphones and created a platform that has been very well received from application and service developers as well as end users. But things that matter in the business world are cash flows and investments. Since February, the company is now co-owned by one of the world’s largest tech firms Intel and venture capital firm Greycroft Partners in a transaction worth some EUR 10m. The funds raised from new shareholders will be used to strengthen Fortumo’s position in the growth markets. While in Western Europe and USA there are now more mobile phone numbers than residents, the number of mobile phone users in developing markets is expected to grow by a billion people who are all potential customers of mobile payments. Fortumo is also closely cooperating with Microsoft in implementing payments within Windows 8 applications. Estonia has become known as the paradise of seed companies and Fortumo is an excellent example of how one does not need to be in some world city or even in Tallinn to establish success. Seems like IT solutions that influence the world can be created and managed even in such idyllic and quiet places as Tartu.

Now the company has put all its bets on one card launching its new flagship model known simply as One that has excellent assembly quality. The phone’s 4.7” FullHD Super LCD 3 screen, a quad-core 1.7 GHz processor on a superfast Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset, 2 GB variable memory and 32/64 GB memory space make it an excellent Android smartphone that in spite of its hefty 600-euro price tag may well put the company back on track.

tehnika / gadgets ekraanid ja ka telefonid ise muutuvad aina suuremaks, siis on neid juba tĂŒlikas taskust vĂ”i kĂ€ekotist vĂ€lja vĂ”tta. Just selle peale I'm Watch loodabki, sest see on Bluetoothi abil telefoniga ĂŒhenduses ja sellega saab vaadata e-kirju, sĂ”numeid, vastata kĂ”nedele ja teha muid lihtsamaid toiminguid. Kui sellise kella hind iseenesest pole ĂŒle mĂ”istuse kallis, jÀÀdes 250 euro kanti, siis - kas olete valmis oma kĂ€ekella iga 24-48 tunni tagant laadima? Just nii tuleb I'm Watchi puhul teha.

Kaks ĂŒhes Asuse Padfone'id ehk nutitelefoni ja n  tahvelarvuti komplektid on saanud ĂŒllatavalt populaarseks ja pole ime, et see tootesari saab tĂ€iendust Padfone Infinity nĂ€ol. See sisaldab 5-tollist FullHD ekraani ja vĂ€lkkiire Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 kiibistikuga suurepĂ€rast telefoni, mis kinnitub tahvelarvuti tahakĂŒljele, kus see on kasutatav juba tahvelarvutina. Ühe hetkega saab Android 4.2 telefoni 5-tollisest ekraanist tahvelarvuti 10,1-tolline (1920 x 1200) ekraan. Kuna tegemist on tehnika viimase sĂ”naga, on komplekt kĂŒllaltki kulukas: aprillis mĂŒĂŒki jĂ”udev Padfone Infinity hinnad algavad 999 eurost.

Umbes 300eurose telefon nĂ€eb vĂ€lja kallim kui see tegelikult on ja ka nĂ€itajad on kiidevÀÀrt: 4,3-tolline (480 x 800) ekraan, kahetuumaline 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 protsessor ja 7 Mpix Carl Zeissi optikaga kaamera teevad sellest telefoni, millega on vĂ”imalik rahvamasse enda poole vĂ”ita kĂŒll.

An Android watch It’s time for watches to switch to n  Android, at least this is what the creators of I'm Watch, a watch with a 1.5” touch screen, believe. As smartphone screens and phones themselves have been getting bigger, taking them out from the pocket or purse is now increasingly inconvenient. This is the idea of I'm Watch: it is linked to the smartphone by Bluetooth and allows reading e-mails and text messages, receiving calls and doing other simpler operations. By the way, the watch costs around EUR 250. Just don’t forget to charge your watch once in every 24 to 48 hours.

Two-in-one Asus Padfones that include a smartn  phone and a tablet PC have become surprisingly popular. No wonder then that this product series has now been supplemented by Padfone Infinity. This excellent smartphone that has a 5” FullHD screen and a lightningfast Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset is attached to the back cover of the tablet. In a snap, you can convert this Android 4.2-based smartphone into a tablet PC with a 10.1” (1920 x 1200) screen. As expected, such technology does not come cheap: prices of Padfone Infinity that comes on sale in April will start at EUR 999.

There is no doubt that Nokia knows n  how to make good phones and the growing market share of their Lumia phones only proves that. But in addition to the top-of-the-line Lumia 820 and 920 models, it is also a good idea to have a more affordable model in the product range – enter the brand new Lumia 720. The phone that will cost about EUR 300 looks more expensive than it is, but has impressive specs: a 4.3” (480 x 800) screen, a dual-core 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and a 7 Mpix Carl Zeiss camera make it a smartphone that the masses will love.

Its innovative plug-in hybrid concept combines the modified electric drive system from the BMW i3 Concept – fitted over its front axle – with a highperformance three-cylinder combustion engine producing 164 kW at rear. Working in tandem, they allow the two drive systems to display their respective talents to the full, delivering the performance of a sports car but the fuel consumption of a small car.

acne live on everyone's skin, yet only one in five people is lucky enough to develop just an occasional pimple over a lifetime. What's their secret? In a boon for teenagers everywhere, a study pubished in Journal of Investigative Dermatology discovered that acne bacteria contain „bad“ strains associated with pimples and „good“ strains that may protect the skin. Using pore-cleansing strips, the researchers at Washington University and the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute lifted the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria from the noses of 49 pimply and 52 clearskinned volunteers, extracted the microbial DNA from the strips and, using sequencing, tracked a genetic marker of the bacteria to identify the strains in each volunteer's pores and recorded whether the person suffered from acne. „We learned that the bacterial strains looked very different when taken from diseased skin, compared to healthy skin,“ said co-author Dr. Noah Craft, a dermatologist and director of the Center for Immunotherapeutics Research at LA BioMed. „Two unique strains of P. acnes appeared in one out of five volunteers with acne but rarely occurred in clear-skinned people.“ „We were extremely excited to uncover a third strain of P. acnes that's common in

healthy skin, yet rarely found when acne is present. This P. acnes strain may protect the skin, much like yogurt's live bacteria help defend the gut from harmful bugs,“ said the lead author Huiying Li, an assistant professor of molecular and medical pharmacology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. The researchers believe that increasing the body's friendly strain of P. acnes through the use of a simple cream or lotion may help calm spotty complexions, offering new hope to acne sufferers.

Miks meie sĂ”rmed ja varbad lĂ€hevad vees kortsuliseks? Teadlased on avastanud, et vees ligun  nemisest tulenevad kortsukesed sĂ”rmedel parandavad haardevĂ”imet mĂ€rgade vĂ”i veealuste esemete kĂ€sitsemisel. Kui kĂ€ed ja jalad on pikemat aega vees, lĂ€hevad sĂ”rmed ja varbad kortsuliseks. Varem arvati, et seda pĂ”hjustab vesi, mis tungib naha vĂ€liskihti ja ajab selle paiste, kuid selgub, et kortsukeste tekkimine on aktiivne protsess. Iseloomulikud kortsukesed tekivad nahaaluste veresoonte kokkutĂ”mbumisel. Protsessi reguleerib autonoomne nĂ€rvisĂŒsteem, mis kontrollib ka nĂ€iteks hingamist, sĂŒdame tööd ja higistamist. Efekti tekkimise pĂ”hjuste vĂ€ljaselgitamiseks uurisid Newcastle’i Ülikooli teadlased, kuidas inimesed kortsuliste ja seejĂ€rel siledate sĂ”rmedega esemeid veest vĂ€lja vĂ”tavad. Ajakirjas Biology Letters kirjutab dr Tom Smulders: „Kortsulised sĂ”rmed annavad mĂ€rgades oludes parema haarde – analoogselt auto rehvimustrile, mis suurendab teega kontaktis olevat pinda ning seega tĂ”hustab haaret. SĂ”rmede kortsuliseks muutumine vĂ”is olla abiks toidu kogumisel mĂ€rgadelt taimedelt vĂ”i mĂ€rgades tingimustes. Sama efekt varvastel vĂ”is anda meie esivanematele vihma korral parema toetuspinna.“ Uuringu kĂ€igus pidid katsealused korjama erinevas suuruses marmorkuulikesi kuivade kĂ€tega ning 30 minutit vees leotatud kortsuliste sĂ”rmedega. MĂ€rgade kuulikeste kĂ€sitsemisel oldi kortsuliste sĂ”rmedega 12% kiiremad. Kuivade kuulide liigutamisel ei tĂ€heldatud mingeid erinevusi. See annab pĂ”hjust oletada, et meie sĂ”rmedel ja varvastel olevad kortsukesed on kasulikud mĂ€rgades oludes vĂ”i mĂ€rgade esemete kĂ€sitsemiseks.

Why we get wrinkly fingers and toes Wrinkly fingers caused by n  soaking them in water, such as in the bath or doing the washing up, have been shown to improve our grip on wet objects or objects under water. When hands or feet are in water for a long time, we get wrinkles. Once it was believed that this was the result of water passing into the outer layer of the skin making it swell up, but now it’s known that the formation of these wrinkles is an active process. The distinctive wrinkling is caused by blood vessels constricting below the skin controlled by the autonomic nervous system which controls bodily processes such as breathing, heart rate and perspiration. Scientists at Newcastle University studied people taking objects out of water with wrinkled or normal, smooth fingers to explain why the effect occurs. Dr Tom Smulders, author of the paper published in Biology Letters writes: „We have shown that wrinkled fingers give a better grip in wet conditions – it can be compared to treads on car tyres which allow more of the tyre to be in contact with the road and therefore give a better grip. This wrinkling of our fingers in wet conditions could have helped us to gather food from wet vegetation or streams. The same effect on our toes might have helped our ancestors to get a better footing in the rain.” In the study, people picked up marbles of different sizes with normal hands or with wrinkled fingers, after having soaked their hands in warm water for 30 minutes. They were 12% faster with the wet marbles if their fingers were wrinkled. Wrinkled fingers made no difference for moving dry objects. This suggests that the wrinkles on fingers and toes serve the function of improving our grip on objects under water or wet objects in general.

edukus on tihti madal. Kuid kuidas teavad emased liblikad, milliseid isaseid vĂ€ltida? Uued uuringud paljastavad, et inbriiditud isased liblikad toodavad mĂ€rkimisvÀÀrselt vĂ€hem suguferomoone, mis teeb nad emastele vĂ€hem atraktiivseks. Kuna inbriiditud isased on tihti nĂ”rgemad ja nĂ€iteks vĂ€hem vĂ”imekad pesa kaitsma vĂ”i oma jĂ€rglastele toitu hankima, eeldatakse, et emased vĂ€ldivad inbriiditud isastega paaritumist. Bicyclus anynana liblikate puhul on emasliblikale kriitiliselt oluline mitte paarituda inbriiditud isastega, kuna 50 protsenti neist on tĂ€ielikult steriilsed. Ajakirjas Proceedings of the Royal Society B avaldatud uuringu kohaselt on inbriiditud isaste ĂŒldine seisund palju halvem ning lisaks toodavad nad palju vĂ€hem suguferomoone. Uuringus lasti suures puuris kokku inbriiditud ja normaalsed isased liblikad emaste liblikatega, kellest osade katsesarved olid

kĂŒĂŒnelakiga ĂŒle vĂ€rvitud, et takistada neil isaste toodetud suguferomoonide tuvastamist. Kaetud katsesarvedega emased, kes seetĂ”ttu ei tundnud mingit lĂ”hna, ei teinud inbriiditud ja normaalsetel isastel mingit vahet ning paaritusid nendega vĂ”rdselt.

Butterflies can smell inbred The mating success of male butterflies n  is often lower if they are inbred. But how do female butterflies know which males to avoid? New research reveals that inbred male butterflies produce significantly less sex pheromones, making them less attractive to females. As inbred males are often weaker and, for instance, less able to defend the nest or provide food for their youngsters, females are expected to avoid mating with a weak inbred male. For the butterfly Bicyclus anynana, it is critical that the female avoids breeding with an inbred male as some 50 per cent of them are completely sterile. It was found in a study pubilshed in Proceedings of the Royal Society B that the general condition of the inbred males was worse, and that they also produced less sex pheromones than normal outbred males. In the study the scientists released both inbred and outbred males together with females in a large cage, painting the antennae of some of the females over with nail polish to prevent them from detecting the amount of sex pheromone produced by males. Females with the treated antennae and therefore no sense of smell had no preference and mated with inbred and normal outbred males equally.

NĂŒĂŒd on teadlased avastanud, et miski nendes ogades omab ka teist funktsiooni: vĂ€hendab Euhadra Quaesita tigude paaritumissagedust. Tohoku Ülikooli ökoloogia ja evolutsiooni teaduskonna teadlane Kazuki Kimura uuris koos kolleegidega 50 E. Quaesita tigu. Teadlased panid teod paaridesse ning andsid neile vĂ”imaluse fĂŒĂŒsiliseks kokkupuuteks iga kahe pĂ€eva tagant. Tulemused olid selged. „Kui teod olid ĂŒksteist armunooltega torganud, siis paaritusid nad uuesti 15 pĂ€eva pĂ€rast,“ ĂŒtles Kimura. „Kui torkamist ei esinenud, siis oli intervall umbes 7 pĂ€eva.“ Kuna teod on hermafrodiidid, torkavad 2-2,5-tunnise paaritumise jooksul teist tigu mĂ”lemad partnerid. Testimaks, kas teod saavad ehk paaritumise kĂ€igus hoopis fĂŒĂŒsiliselt viga, sĂŒstisid Kimura ja tema kolleegid tigusid limaga. Teod paaritusid seejĂ€rel harvemini ka ainult hormoonide mĂ”jul, millest vĂ”ib jĂ€reldada, et paaritumise edasises aeglustumises ei saa torkamise fakti sĂŒĂŒdistada. „Teod jĂ€tkasid normaalset munemist, olenemata sellest, kas neid torgati vĂ”i sĂŒstiti,“ ĂŒtles Kimura. „Me arvame, et sellise mehhanismiga vĂ”ivad sperma loovutajad eeldada head viljastamise Ă”nnestumist, sest lima hoiab sperma saajat kauem uuesti paaritumast ja seda tĂ”enĂ€olisem on, et sperma doonor saab olema tigubeebide isa ning tema geenid kantakse edasi“.

Mating Snails Stab With „Love Darts“ Instead of giving each other chocon  lates or roses to get in the mood, during snail foreplay, one partner stabs the other with a so-called „love dart“- a sharp dart produced by the snail's body to aid copulation. About a third of all snail species grow these darts that are either calcareous (made of calcium carbonate, essentially

April / May 2013 in time

chalk) or chitinous (made of chitin, the substance of insect exoskeletons).The snails literally stab these darts into their partners some time during the (often) long, drawn-out mating process. Some studies have found that these darts, which deliver a healthy dose of mucus and hormones, help snail's sperm to survive longer inside its partner. Now, new research has found that something in the love dart has a second function: it makes Euhadra quaesita snails slower to re-mate. Kazuki Kimura, a researcher in the department of ecology and evolution at Tohoku University, and his colleagues studied 50 E. quaesita snails. The researchers paired snails up and gave them the opportunity to get physical every two days. The results were clear: „When snails were stabbed with the love-dart, they re-mated after 15 days,“ said Kimura. „When snails were not stabbed, the intervals were about 7 days.“ As snails are hermaphrodites, both partners stab the other during their 2-to-2.5hour mating sessions. To test whether the snails were physically harmed during mating, Kimura and colleagues injected the molluscs with snail mucus. Simply having the hormones in their bodies made the snails much less likely to mate, concluding that the physical effects of stabbing weren't to blame. The snails — whether stabbed or injected — continued to lay eggs as normal, Kimura said. „So we think that sperm donors are expected to attain high fertilization success, because the mucus keeps the sperm recipient from re-mating, making the sperm donor more likely to father baby snails and have its genes passed on.” Tekst / Text: Nele Suurna

Hooldus tagab ohutuse Iga asi, mis liigub, kulub. Lennukid koosnevad vĂ€ga paljudest liikuvatest osadest – rattad, mootorid, tiiva- ja sabaosad. Need kĂ”ik peavad olema eeskujulikus töökorras, sest vastasel juhul vĂ”ib juhtuda Ă”nnetus.

IgapĂ€evane liinihooldus Lennukit hooldatakse peaaegu iga lennu vahel. Reisijad on ehk mĂ€rganud, et enne Ă”hkutĂ”usmist kĂ€ib piloot ĂŒmber lennuki ja vaatab, kas kĂ”ik on korras. Kui midagi kahtlast mĂ€rgatakse, kutsutakse tehnikud, et viga parandada. Lennuki vĂ€ljalend vĂ”ib hilineda, kui tehnikud ei jĂ”ua viga piisavalt kiiresti likvideerida. Lennunduses on esmatĂ€htis ohutus ja isegi, kui kĂ”rvaltvaatajale vĂ”ib kĂ”rvaldamist vajav pisiviga tĂ€htsusetu tunduda, ei jĂ€eta midagi juhuse hooleks. Samuti kontrollivad tehnikud hommikul esi-

mesele lennule vĂ€ljuva lennuki ĂŒle. Kontrollitakse keredetaile, mÔÔdetakse rehvirĂ”hku jne. Estonian Airi kĂ”igile lennukitele teeb liinihoolidust Air Maintenance Estonia.

Baashooldus on pĂ”hjalikum Kui lennuk on sĂ”ltuvalt tĂŒĂŒbist ja hooldusplaanist lennanud tĂ€is ettenĂ€htud tundide arvu, lĂ€bib see baashoolduse. Kuna lennuki seisutund on kallis ja selle omanik tahab, et lennuk taas kiiresti Ă”hku tĂ”useks, töötavad Air Maintenance Estonia insenerid ja tehnikud 24 tundi ööpĂ€evas. PĂ”hjalik hooldus vĂ”ib kesta nĂ€dalast kuni kuuni. Iga hoolduse kĂ€igus vĂ”etakse lahti konkreet-

lennundus Ennetamine ennekĂ”ike Ennetamine on kĂ”ige vĂ”ti. Autoomanikud teavad, et mootoriĂ”li tuleb vahetada lĂ€bisĂ”idu jĂ€rgi vĂ”i vĂ€hemalt kord aastas, samuti muid kiiremini kuluvaid detaile. Sageli lĂŒkatakse autohooldust edasi ning kulunud detailid asendatakse uutega siis, kui need juba katki on. Lennunduses on selline asi mĂ”eldamatu. Kui Fordi autoteenindus vĂ”ib probleemideta vahetada Ă”li ka Opeli mootoris, siis Bombardiere ei saa hooldada ettevĂ”te, millel on luba hooldada vaid Airbuse. Air Maintenance Estonia korraldab baashooldust Airbus 319, 320 ja 321 ning Boeing 737 Classic ja Next Generation’i tĂŒĂŒpi lennukitele. Estonian Airi muud marki lennukid kĂ€ivad baashoolduses teiste riikide hooldusettevĂ”tetes. Liinihooldust korraldatakse lennukitĂŒĂŒpidele SAAB 340, Embraer 170, Bombardier CRJ900, Boeing 737CL/NG ja Airbus 320 perekonda kuuluvatele lennukitele. Et hakata uut tĂŒĂŒpi lennukit hooldama, tuleb ehitada sobilik hoone, soetada spetsiaalsed tööriistad ja luua tehnilised tingimused lennuki hooldamiseks. Tuleb vĂ€lja Ă”petada tehnikud ning taotleda kohalikust lennuametist luba vastava lennukitĂŒĂŒbi hooldamiseks. Iga töö tegemiseks on spetsiaalne ruum ja koht. Angaaris on vĂ€rvi-, metalli-, rehvi-, naha-, Ă”mblus-, komposiiditöökoda ja palju muid eriruume. Komposiidi- ja vĂ€rvitöökojas on eraldi ruumid

sed lennukiosad ja vahetatakse vĂ€lja detailid, mille on ette nĂ€inud lennuki tootja. Samuti vahetatakse vĂ€lja need detailid ja struktuuriosad, mille nĂ”uetele mittevastavus on hoolduses avastatud. Lennunduses ei oodata detailide purunemist, vaid kĂ€ib pidev ennetustegevus. Lennuki disaininud insenerid on vĂ€lja arvutanud tĂ€pselt iga detaili kestvuse ja nende nĂ”rgad kohad ning pannud paika tĂ€psed hoolduse intervallid ning remondi protseduurid. Kui tehnikud leiavad vea, mille kohta hooldusmanuaalis info puudub, vĂ”etakse ĂŒhendust tootjaga. Omalooming lennuki „lappimisel” on keelatud. Tehasest saabuvad tĂ€psed instruktsioonid, kuidas vigu parandada.

C Check n

Tehakse 15-21 kuu jĂ€rel vĂ”i kui on lĂ€bitud tootja poolt ette antud lennutunnid. See on palju suurem hooldus kui A Check ja ĂŒle vaadatakse kogu lennuk. See vĂ”tab aega 1-2 nĂ€dalat ja umbes 6000 töötundi.

See on lennuki kĂ”ige pĂ”hjalikum hooldus. Seda tehakse umbes iga 12 aasta jĂ€rel. Selle kĂ€igus vĂ”etakse lennuk lahti ja tehakse tĂ€ielik ĂŒlevaatus. MĂ”nel juhul nĂ”utakse isegi vĂ€rvi eemaldamist ja kere metalli seisukorra kontrollimist. Hooldus kestab kuni kaks kuud, selleks kulub 24 000 töötundi.

lihvimiseks ja muudeks töödeks. VĂ”imas ventilatsioon tagab, et peenemgi tolm ruumist vĂ€lja imetakse. KĂ”ik on puhas, maas ei vedele rĂ€mpsu ja iga tööriist on omal kohal. Kui lennuk hooldusesse saabub, eemaldavad tehnikud hooldust vajavad osad ja viivad need vastavasse töökotta. Töötlust ootavaid detaile hoitakse spetsiaalses vahelaos. Tööriistaruum on iga tehniku unistus, riiulid on tĂ€idetud vĂ”imsate masinatega. RFID-sĂŒsteem aitab jĂ€rge pidada, millise lennuki juures ja kes milliseid tööriistu kasutab. Kui vahetuse lĂ”puks tehnik tööriistu ei tagasta, hakatakse neid otsima. Selleks on spetsiaalne metallidetektor.

EttevĂ”tte juht Lennukite hooldamist Air Maintenance Estonias korraldab David Williams. Ta on britt, kellel on 38 aastat lennunduskogemust, kuid ta on 25 aastat vĂ€lismaal töötanud. David on korraldanud lennukite hooldust SAS-is Stockholmis, Emirates Dubais, Abu Dhabis ja nĂŒĂŒd on ta Eestis. „Mul on olnud ainulaadne vĂ”imalus viimase kuue aasta jooksul avada kolm hooldusangaari,” rÀÀgib mees, kelle meeskond korraldas maailma suurima reisilennuki Airbus A380 baashoolduse. SeetĂ”ttu pakuti talle vĂ”imalust juhtida Air Maintenance Estonia laienemist. EttevĂ”tte uus angaar avati mullu septembris, see kasvatas ettevĂ”tte vĂ”imsust kolm korda. Seni hooldati lennukeid ĂŒhes angaaris. „Kaasaegsed hooned, professionaalsed tehnikud ja finantstoetus,” loetleb David, mida on vaja eduka lennukihooldustöökoja kĂ€imalĂŒkkamiseks. Plaanis on avada Eestis lennukite vĂ€rvimise angaar, mille jaoks on eriti karmid keskkonnanĂ”uded nii ventilatsioonile, kanalisatsioonile kui ka

kĂŒttele. Uued ja suuremad lennukid teda ei ahvatle. „KĂ”ik lennukid on pĂ”hiolemuselt sarnased – kere, tiivad, mootor, kokpit,” teab David. Eestis hooldatakse palju Euroopa ja Venemaa lennukeid. Eestil on hea asukoht ja moodsad hooned. Samal ajal on ka tehnikud väga kõrge kvalifikatsiooniga. See on meelitanud uusi kliente just Eestisse lennukeid hooldama.

Ohutus on kĂ”ige olulisem David Williams rĂ”hutab, et lennuohutus on nende töös number ĂŒks. „Kui lennuk hooldusest vĂ€ljub, siis tavapĂ€raselt lennuteste ei tehta. Lennuk vĂ”tab inimesed pardale ja lendab,” selgitab ta. Töö peab olema laitmatu. „KĂ”ige olulisemad tööd kontrollitakse ĂŒle kaks korda. Kui tehnik hooldustööd lĂ”petab, kontrollib kĂ”ik ĂŒle insener (kes ise töötegemise juures polnud), et otsus oleks sĂ”ltumatu ning et midagi poleks jÀÀnud kahe silma vahele.” Lennuki hooldus kĂ€ib rangelt ettekirjutuste jĂ€rgi. Enne tööle asumist prindib tehnik vĂ€lja dokumendi, milles on kĂ”ik tĂ€pselt kirjas, mida teha. Iga tehtud töö kinnitab ta allkirjaga. „See on dokument, mida peab lennuki omanik sĂ€ilitama kindlaksmÀÀratud perioodi,” selgitab David. Kui lennukiga midagi juhtub, tuvastatakse vea allikas ja uurijad vaatavad lennuki hooldusajaloost tĂ€pselt jĂ€rgi, kes ja mida antud detaili juures viimati tegi. Lennunduses on kontroll A ja O. Enne kui uus lennukompanii lennuki Tallinna hooldusesse saadab, kĂ€iakse Air Maintenance Estoniat auditeerimas. „Angaar peab olema puhas, iga asi omal kohal. Keegi ei taha saata oma lennukeid hoolduspaika, kus valitseb segadus,” rÀÀgib David. Auditid toimuvad tihti: „Kui kĂ”ik on korras, pole raske tĂ”estada, et teeme head tööd.”

Maintenance as a guarantee for safety All moving parts are subject to wear and tear. Airplanes have very many movable parts in wheels, engines, wings and tail. All this must be in excellent technical condition to prevent accidents. Daily line maintenance Airplanes are maintained almost between all flights. Passengers may have noticed pilots who check the aircraft externally before takeoff and make sure that everything is in order. As soon as they detect something suspicious, they call technicians. If the technicians cannot fix it fast enough, the flight can be delayed. In aviation,

April / May 2013 in time

safety is everything and nothing is overlooked, no matter how marginal it might seem. Technicians also check the aircraft in the morning, before it makes its first flight. They check body parts, measure the pressure in the tyres, etc. Air Maintenance Estonia carries out line maintenance to all aircraft of Estonian Air.

aviation Check-plan A Check n

Performed approximately after every 500–800 hours of flight or 200–400 cycles of flight. Needs about 20–100 man-hours.

B Check n

Performed approximately every 4–6 months. It needs about 150 man-hours and is usually performed within 1–3 days.

C Check n

Performed approximately every 15–21 months or a specific amount of actual flight hours as defined by the manufacturer. This maintenance check is much more extensive than a B Check, as the whole aircraft is inspected. The time needed to complete such a check is generally 1–2 weeks and the effort involved can require up to 6000 man-hours.

D Check n

This is by far the most comprehensive and demanding check for an airplane. Performed approximately every 12 years. It is a check that, more or less, takes the entire airplane apart for inspection and overhaul. Also, if required, the paint may need to be completely removed for further inspection on the fuselage metal skin. Such a check will usually demand around 24,000 man-hours and it can generally take up to 2 months to complete.

88

Base maintenance is more comprehensive Once an aircraft has operated a certain number of hours, depending on the type of aircraft and maintenance plan, it will go into base maintenance. Since the aircraft idle time is expensive and owners want their aircraft to start flying as soon as possible, engineers and technicians of Air Maintenance Estonia work round the clock. Comprehensive maintenance may take from a week up to a month. In every maintenance, technicians disassemble certain aircraft parts and replace the components required by the aircraft manufacturer. If they discover additional components and structural parts that do not comply with the requirements, they will also be replaced. In aviation, the key is to prevent breakdown. The engineers who design aircraft, calculate the durability of all components, their weaknesses and, depending on this information, determine the maintenance intervals and repair procedures. If technicians find an error that is not listed in the maintenance manual, they contact the manufacturer. All unauthorized solutions are prohibited. Aircraft makers deliver accurate instructions on how to repair faults.

It starts with prevention Prevention is the key. Car owners know that they need to change engine oil based on mileage or once a year at the latest. So should be done to the wearing parts. They often postpone car maintenance and replace worn components once they are broken. In aviation, this kind of behaviour is out of question.

While a Ford car service can change oil also in an Opel, an aircraft maintenance company that is licensed to maintain only Airbus aircraft cannot work on Bombardier. Air Maintenance Estonia provides base maintenance for Airbus 319, 320 and 321, Boeing 737 Classic and Next Generation type aircraft. Other types of aircraft used by Estonian Air are serviced in other countries. Line maintenance is provided for aircraft in the SAAB 340, Embraer 170, Bombardier CRJ900, Boeing 737CL/NG and Airbus 320 family. For maintaining a new type of aircraft, a suitable building, special tools and technical conditions for aircraft maintenance are necessary, as well as trained technicians and maintenance permit from the local civil aviation authority. A proper maintenance hangar has special premises and locations for each operation – for painting, for metalwork, for tyres, leather, sewing and composite operations. The composite and painting workshop has a special space for sanding and other jobs. Powerful air ventilation guarantees that even the finest dust is sucked out. Everything is clean and every tool has its place. When the aircraft arrives to maintenance, technicians remove parts that must be maintained and take them to a specified workshop. Components that are waiting for maintenance are kept in special interim storage rooms. The tool room is a dream for every technician: shelves filled with powerful tools and an RFID system tracking which tools are being used at which aircraft. If a technician doesn’t return his tool at the end of the shift, a special metal detector is used to find them.

aviation Managing director In Air Maintenance Estonia, aircraft maintenance is managed by David Williams. He is British with 38 years of aviation experience, but has worked abroad for the past 25 years. David has been managing aircraft maintenance for SAS in Stockholm, for Emirates in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and is now working in Estonia. „I have had the unique opportunity to open three maintenance hangars in the last six years,” says the man whose team organized base maintenance for the world’s largest passenger aircraft Airbus A380. This was also why he was offered to manage the expansion of Air Maintenance Estonia. The company’s new hangar was opened last September and tripled the company’s capacity. Until then, aircraft maintenance was done in one hangar. „Modern buildings, professional technicians and financial support,” says David, listing the essential components of successful aircraft maintenance. The company plans to open an aircraft painting hangar in Estonia that needs to meet extremely tough environmental requirements for air ventilation, sewerage and heating. David is not attracted to maintaining new and bigger aircraft. „Essentially, all aircraft are similar – aircraft body, wings, engine and cockpit,” he says. Estonia is a popular location for maintenance for European and Russian aircraft. It is well situated and a modern facility. At the same time, the technicians are very highly qualified. This has attracted many new customers to maintain their aircraft in Estonia.

Safety is priority David Williams emphasizes that in his work flight safety comes first. „Aircraft that comes out of maintenance is not usually flight tested. It will take passengers on board and start flying,” he explains. This means that work must be impeccable. „The most important jobs are double-checked. When a technician completes maintenance, it is checked by an engineer who did not participate in the process, so the decision would be independent and nothing overlooked.” Aircraft maintenance must comply with strict requirements. Before starting work, a technician prints out a document that lists all maintenance operations that must be done. Every completed job is signed. „The aircraft owner must pre-

April / May 2013 in time

serve this document for a certain period,” explains David. Then, if something happens to the aircraft, it is possible to identify the source of the problem and find out who exactly did what and when. Inspection in aviation is everything. Before a new airline sends its aircraft to maintenance in Tallinn, they audit Air Maintenance Estonia. „The hangar must be clean and everything in its place. No-one wants to maintain their aircraft in a place that’s a mess,” says David. Audits are conducted frequently. „If everything is in order, it’s not hard to prove that we work well.”

Like A Local, a local friend in your mobile Photos: Like A Local

Smart information flow shows the user interesting establishments in the area that are open and works without Internet access. This is the first travel application developed in Estonia that is now going global and offers a worldwide platform for creating an alternative city guide to official tourist guides in any town of the world. Ülane Vilumets, founder of Like A Local says that the initial idea was to publish paper maps of interesting local establishments that are not included in official tourist guides. The mobile app was created by Kalev KĂŒlaase who went on a round-the-world trip and became convinced that the concept should be expanded and internationalized. This is how the mobile application was born. Ülane Vilumets recalls her first trip to Paris and how she visited the Eiffel Tower and other popular tourism attractions. „The next time, locals took us to the immigrant districts and to their favourite restaurants – this was much more exotic,” recalls Vilumets.

The content of the application is created by locals who know the city inside out, instead of travel journalists or tourists who are visiting the town. Ülane explains that there are rigorous requirements for becoming a content contributor and all information is checked. Information is constantly updated as locals develop new favourite locations and some locations may go out of business. „We get offers to add content every day,” she says. Many contributors are tourists who have been using paper maps of Like A Local for Tallinn sightseeing, and then wish to include information about their home town. „We have received requests from Romania, Iceland and even South America.” To enjoy a city like a local, avoid dining places advertising local national dishes on large signs in English. „Also people handing out fliers and inviting you to enter are signs of a tourist location,” adds Ülane.

Like A Local has developed an iPhone application that helps tourists to find local favourite places in towns.

version that is based on Open Street Map without Internet connection. Soon apps for Android and Windows Phone will become available. Customers can choose between a free version with limited time of use and a paid service. Access to free application can also be earned by contributing to the content. Like A Local enables to discover n  Tallinn, Tartu, PĂ€rnu, Riga, Vilnius, Helsinki and Stockholm. There are plans to expand the service to cover all the larger towns in Europe and the world. Mobile app enables to book excursions and see the best sights. There are paper maps of Tallinn, Riga, n  Helsinki, Vilnius, Tartu and PĂ€rnu.

History Estonia was settled around 8500 BC. n  Local people worshipped the spirits of nature until the Northern Crusades on 13th century. Since then, Estonia became a battleground where Denmark, Russia, Sweden and Poland fought wars over controlling the gateway between West and East. In 1918 the Estonian Declaration of n  Independence was issued. On the eve of Second World War, Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union. Estonia regained independence in 1991 four months before the collapse of the USSR and joined the European Union in 2004.

Airport Shuttle Tallinn Airport Shuttle bus takes customers from Tallinn Airport n  to their chosen destination in Tallinn. The bus driver takes care of the passengers’ luggage and will always try to get as close to the desired location as the traffic allows. The Shuttle buses don't have a particular departure timetable. They start their work at 12:00 and meet every plane arriving in Tallinn. The bus only leaves the airport 15 minutes after the first passenger has entered the bus or when the bus is filled with passengers. The last shuttle bus from the airport departs after all the passengers of the evening flight from Amsterdam have received their luggage, i.e. around 23:30. This is how it works 7 days a week. Tickets for the Shuttle bus can be bought either from the flight hall or the customer service counter that has an Airport Shuttle flag. Besides the Estonian language, customers are also served in English and Russian. You can pay either by card or in cash. The ticket for the Airport Shuttle is €5, no matter what the destination is within the city of Tallinn. The counter staff are also at hand to give you advice on other questions connected with Tallinn.

Best prices Product ECO gives an extra advantage to customers who purn  chase their tickets well in advance. Ticket prices start from 49 euros, all taxes included. Product LIGHT is meant for customers who are travelling with hand luggage only. Fares start from 39 euros.

Passenger’s checklist

Õigeaegseks lennule registreerimiseks tuleb lennujaama tulla n

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

vĂ€hemalt kaks tundi enne piletil mĂ€rgitud vĂ€ljalennu aega, vĂ€lja arvatud juhul, kui kasutate interneti teel varasema registreerimise vĂ”imalust. LĂ€htevĂ€ravas tuleb olla pardakaardile mĂ€rgitud pardale mineku ajal. Kaasas peab olema reisidokument, milleks on: n  ‱ pass (rahvusvahelistel lendudel) ‱ pass vĂ”i rahvuslik ID-kaart (Euroopa Liidu piires) ‱ pass, rahvuslik ID-kaart, Eestis vĂ€lja antud juhiluba, ĂŒliĂ”pilas- vĂ”i Ă”pilaspilet (Tallinna-Tartu-Tallinna siselendudel) Estonian Airi lendudel vĂ”ib inimese kohta olla ĂŒks ĂŒhik registreen  ritavat pagasit kaaluga kuni 23 kg. Pagasireeglid on lennufirmadel erinevad, seetĂ”ttu tuleb piletit ostes tĂ€helepanelik olla. KĂ”igil lennufirmadel ei pruugi pagasi hind olla lennupileti hinna sees. JĂ€tkulendudel kehtivad esimese vedaja pagasireeglid. Kui lennujaamas tekib probleeme, tuleb kĂ”igepealt ĂŒles otsida n  lennufirma töötajad vĂ”i esindajad, kellelt saab kĂŒsida abi ja infot. Neil on kohustus jagada teavet lennureisijate Ă”iguste kohta. Kui lend hilineb ĂŒle kahe ja poole tunni, on lennufirma kohustan  tud pakkuma reisijatele sĂŒĂŒa-juua ja sidevĂ”imalust (nĂ€iteks kaks tasuta telefonikĂ”net). Alates viietunnisest hilinemisest on reisijal Ă”igus lennust loobumise korral lennupileti eest makstud raha tagasi saada. Ülebroneeringu korral peab lennuettevĂ”tja otsima vabatahtn  likke, kes on nĂ”us loobuma oma kohast kokkulepitud hĂŒvitise eest. Vabatahtlike puudumisel on reisijatel Ă”igus hĂŒvitisele (125-600 eurot), teisele vĂ”imalusele sihtkohta jĂ”udmiseks vĂ”i piletihinna tagastusele. Veel on lennureisile mitte lubamise korral reisijatel Ă”igus abistamisele ning vajadusel ka majutusele (sealhulgas transport majutuskoha-lennujaama vahel). Lennu tĂŒhistamisel peab lennufirma pakkuma kas piletihinna n  hĂŒvitamist vĂ”i muid vĂ”imalusi lĂ”ppsihtkohta jĂ”udmiseks. Samuti peab lennufirma pakkuma reisijatele abi ja vajadusel majutust. Lisaks on reisijatel Ă”igus hĂŒvitisele (125-600 eurot), vĂ€lja arvatud erakorralistel asjaoludel vĂ”i kui tĂŒhistamisest on teavitatud vĂ€hemalt kaks nĂ€dalat enne reisi . Kui pagas on rikutud, hilineb vĂ”i kadunud, tuleb kohe pöörduda n  vastavasse teenindusletti ning vormistada raport. Rikutud pagasi korral tuleb lennufirmale kaebus esitada hiljemalt seitsme pĂ€eva, kadunud ning hilinenud pagasi korral hiljemalt 21 pĂ€eva pĂ€rast.

On connecting flights, the baggage rules of the first carrier apply. If you encounter a problem at the airport, contact the air n  carrier’s staff or representatives for assistance and information. It is their duty to inform passengers about their rights. When a flight is delayed for more than two and a half hours, the n  air carrier shall offer passengers food and beverages and a communication possibility (e.g. two free phone calls). If the delay is longer than five hours, passengers who cancel their flight are entitled to a refund. In case of overbooking, the air carrier shall first call for volunn  teers to surrender their reservation in exchange for compensation. If no such volunteer comes forward, the passenger left behind is entitled to compensation (125 to 600 euros), alternative transport to the destination or refund. If the air carrier denies the passenger boarding, the air carrier must assist the passenger and, if necessary, provide accommodation (including transport between the place of accommodation and the airport). In case of cancellation, the air carrier must offer passengers n  compensation of airfare or another transport option to reach the destination. The air carrier must also offer passengers assistance and, if needed, accommodation. In addition, passengers are entitled to compensation (125 to 600 euros), except in extraordinary circumstances or if the cancellation has been notified at least two weeks before the flight.
