Uuel hooajal veelgi tihedam graafik

More frequent schedule in new season

Selle aasta suvi polnud ilma poolest just kõige parem, küll aga oli hea Estonian Airi suvine lennugraafik. Mul on hea meel tõdeda, et suutsime oma lennukite pardale meelitada rekordarvu reisijaid.

Töötame pidevalt parema lennuühenduse nimel, pakkudes eeloleval talvehooajal tihedamat lennugraafikut Stockholmi, Vilniusesse, Oslosse, Amsterdami, Brüsselisse, Moskvasse, Peterburi ja Kiievisse. Lisasime talvisesse lennugraafikusse Pariisi ja Viini ning veebruarist Göteborgi.

Suvised muudatused ei puudutanud ainult sihtkohtade valikut ja suuremat lendude hulka.

Meie lennugraafik on koostatud nii, et ühendada omavahel sihtkohad idas ja läänes ning põhjas ja lõunas.

Lennud lähiregiooni väiksematest linnadest saabuvad Tallinna vahetult enne väljalende suurematesse Euroopa linnadesse ja vastupidi.

Tallinnast on saamas oluline sõlmlennujaam paljudele Soomest, Rootsist, Norrast või Leedust lendu alustavatele reisijatele tänu kompaktsusele, mugavusele ja heale teenindusele. Eestist reisi alustavatele lennureisijatele saame pakkuda järjest paremaid lennuühendusi, arendades ja suurendades üheskoos meie lennuvõrgustikku.

Weather-wise this summer was not the best I can remember, but for Estonian Air’s network it was certainly a great one. I am happy to announce that we attracted a record number of passengers this summer. We keep on enhancing the network in coming winter season by offering a more frequent flight schedule to Stockholm, Vilnius, Oslo, Amsterdam, Brussels, Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kiev.

In addition, we added Paris and Vienna to our winter flight schedule and from February we start serving the route between Gothenburg and Tallinn.

It was not just the destinations and frequencies we changed this summer. Our flight schedule is composed so that we connect West to East, North to South. The flights from smaller towns in the neighbouring region arrive just in time to connect to flights to major European cities depart and vice versa.

Tallinn has been gradually growing into an important transfer airport for passengers starting their flight from Finland, Sweden, Norway or Lithuania thanks to its compactness, convenience and good service. Developing and increasing the flight schedules helps us to offer you a more comfortable travel experience.

Soovin teile meeldivat lendu Estonian Airiga – ja jääge meiega!

Have a good flight with Estonian Air – stay with us!

Priit Hõbemägi kolumnist

Kuidas lennundus aitab päästa miljoneid inimelusid See lugu algas nii: Austrias Klagenfurti linnas

kukkus kolmeaastane tüdruk jääkülma kalatiiki.

Meeleheitel vanemad leidsid ta tiigi põhjast alles poole tunni pärast. Veest välja tõmmatud väike keha oli liikumatu, kopsud vett täis, pupillid laienenud. Vanemad alustasid haiglast telefoni teel saadud juhiste järgi elustamist. Kaheksa minuti pärast toimetati laps helikopteriga haiglasse, kirjutab kuulus Ameerika kirurg Atul Gawande.

Arstid olid visad ja osavad. Kunstliku hingamise masin aitas hingata, torud ja juhtmed ühendasid tüdruku vajalike aparaatidega. Kahe tunni pärast hakkas väike süda uuesti lööma. Paari päeva pärast olid olulised kehafunktsioonid taastunud. Vaid aju ei näidanud aktiivsuse märke. Arstid hakkasid reguleerima rõhku ajus ja peagi reageerisid pupillid valgusele, iseseisev hingamine taastus ja ühel päeval avas väike tüdruk lihtsalt oma silmad. Kahe nädala pärast sai ta haiglast koju. Kuidas oli see imepärane pääsemine võimalik? Sest arstid tegid tuhandeid tema päästmiseks vajalikke toiminguid ja operatsioone kontroll-nimekirja alusel täpselt ettenähtud viisil ja õiges järjekorras, kordagi eksimata!

See tõhus lahendus keeruliste süsteemide ja olukordade juhtimiseks sündis just tänu lennundusele. 1935. aastal peeti Wrighti lennu8

väljal Daytonis, Ohio osariigis USAs väikese hulga kõrge auastmega sõjaväelaste ees katselende.

Armee oli valimas järgmise põlvkonna lennukeid kauglendudeks. Favoriidiks oli Boeingu uus neljamootoriline mudel, mis leiti olevat palju parem kui Martini ja Douglase konkureerivad lennukid. Polnud kahtlust, et just see lennuk võidab konkursi.

Läikiv alumiiniumkerega lennuk sõitis stardirajale, mootorid möirgasid. Kuid tulemus ei jätnud kindralitele positiivset muljet. Liiga keeruline lennuk, et üks mees seda juhtida võiks, oli hinnang.

Grupp piloote kogunes arutama, mida teha.

Nad said aru, et moodsa lennuki juhtimissüsteemid olid ühe lenduri mälu jaoks liiga keerulised.

Nad koostasid kontrollnimekirja, kus olid sammsammu järel kirjas kõik vajalikud tegevused lennukiga õhkutõusmiseks, lendamiseks, maandumiseks ja ruleerimiseks. Nimekirja abil lendasid piloodid Boeing B-17 “lendava kindlusega” ilma ühegi õnnetuseta 1,8 miljonit miili ja tehaselt telliti ligi 13 000 lennukit.

Inimesel polnud häda midagi, lihtsalt tehnoloogia arenes väga kiirelt edasi. Lendurid olid esimesed, kes seda taipasid ja lahenduse leidsid. Samasugused kontrollnimekirjad meditsiinis aitavad arstidel iga päev säästa miljonite inimeste elusid.

How aviation helped to save millions of lives Priit Hõbemägi columnist

This story starts in a small Austrian town of Klagenfurt where a three-year-old girl fell into an icy fishpond. She was lost beneath the surface for thirty minutes before her parents found her on the pond bottom and pulled her up. Her little body was motionless, she had no pulse, her lungs were filled with water and her pupils were dilated.

Following instructions from an emergency physician on the phone, they began cardiopulmonary resuscitation. A rescue team arrived eight minutes later and delivered the girl to a nearby hospital by helicopter, writes famed American surgeon Atul Gawande.

Doctors were skilled and did not give up on her. She was put on a heart-lung bypass machine and was hooked up to other life-saving equipment. Two hours later, her heart began to beat.

In a few days, vital body functions had been restored except her brain. With a probe, the team started to regulate cerebral pressure and soon her pupils started to react to light. Next, she began to breathe on her own. And, one day, she simply woke. Two weeks after her accident, she went home.

How was it possible that this drowned

girl was saved at all? Because scores of doctors carried out thousands of steps correctly, following a detailed checklist and carrying out a complex series of coordinated actions and operations in strict order.

This efficient solution for managing complex

10

systems and situations actually came to life thanks to aviation.

On October 30, 1935, at Wright Air Field in

Dayton, Ohio, the US Army Air Corps held a flight competition in front of a small crowd of Army brass for airplane manufacturers vying to build its next-generation long-range bomber. In early evaluations, the Boeing Corporation’s four-engine model had trounced the designs of Martin and Douglas. The flight “competition” was regarded as a mere formality. The gleaming aluminum-alloy plane taxied down the tarmac, with engines roaring. But the generals were not impressed. They found the aircraft was too complex for one pilot to handle.

A group of test pilots got together and considered what to do. They understood that the control systems of a modern aircraft were too complicated for one pilot to remember. So they created a pilot’s checklist, with step-by-step checks for takeoff, flight, landing and taxiing.

With the checklist at hand, pilots flew the “flying fortress” Boeing B-17 a total of 1.8 million miles without a single accident. The Army ultimately ordered almost thirteen thousand of the aircraft from Boeing.

It was nothing to do with human beings, as technology had simply developed extremely rapidly.

The pilots were the first to understand it and came up with a solution. Similar checklists in medicine help doctors save millions of lives every day.

introducing it in the very highest level,” say Daniel Reuss, the current chief conductor and artistic director of choir.

The choir is excited about performing at the Festival Internacional Cervantino in Mexico. Tõnu Kaljuste will conduct and the choir will sing Pärt’s Te Deum and Adam's Lament. The choir was personally invited by Mexico’s ambassador to Finland who heard Adam’s Lament performed in Turku.

“Many find devout prayers, peace and balance in that music. It is a great fortune to be so close with Pärt’s work,” says Kaljuste. Before embark-

ing on a world tour, the choir in September perform the same repertoire in the framework of Nargenfestival in Tallinn.

“The EPCC has premiered most of the Arvo Pärt's choir music, so the choir is recognised as the finest interpreters of this composer's music – they have a very personal and direct link to Arvo Pärt and a deep understanding of his work. And the audience feels a special atmosphere in the concerts when the EPCC performs it,” says Reuss. Every year on Pärt’s birthday the choir gives a concert to honor the composer.

The EPCC

does not only perform for fans of high culture. From time to time the choir performs in Estonian schools. Beside singing the beautiful songs they explain what to listen for and how. The choristers love these performances

as much as singing at the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, at Mozartwoche in Salzburg or at opera festival in Aix-en-Provence. They love the applause from a musically educated concert-going audience, and feel a great sense of satisfaction when they see young people without much experience of classical music – and who had only really come along to escape a maths lesson – rising to their feet in joy at a form of music they had never really thought about.

The EPCC has become the best-known Estonian classical music body and one of the best choirs in the world since it was founded in 1981 by Tõnu Kaljuste, who acted as artistic director and chief conductor for 20 years.

It gives 60-70 concerts per season and tours regularly in Europe, the United States, Canada and Japan. Their repertoire ranges from Grego-

The choir has recorded work for a number of broadcasting and recording companies, as ECM, Harmonia Mundi, Virgin Classics, Carus, Ondine. Conductor Paul Hillier and the EPCC’s recording of Arvo Pärt's Da Pacem (Har- monia Mundi) won the Grammy award for Best Choral Per- formance at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards in 2007 and the choir's work has been nominated for a Grammy no fewer than 15 times.

The Seaplane Harbour is a treasure

trove of maritime history that reveals incredible stories from above and below the water.

Estonian maritime history comes to life in and around these unique seaplane hangars in which the museum’s three levels offer many exciting discoveries. Among other things, you can see the lifesized copy of the seaplane Short184, the legendary submarine Lembit, and the historical icebreaker Suur Tõll (Toell the Great). In addition to this, anyone who is interested can take a trip on the Seaplane Harbour’s simulators. Fly above Tallinn, go on an around-the-world journey in the Yellow Submarine, or navigate on the Gulf of Tallinn.

Seaplane hangars are unique in the whole world and the Seaplane Harbour complex was initially constructed as part of the naval fortress of Peter the Great in 1916-1917. In November 1917, construction was halted due to the revolution in Russia and quite a lot of the initial design project was left incomplete. During the 1920s and 1930s, the Seaplane Harbour served as a base for the Estonian air force unit, providing an athletics hall as well as a tennis court under the hangars. In 1923, Estonia’s first sailplane was assembled in the

hangars. In 1933, the world-famous flyer, Charles Lindbergh, together with his wife, Ann Marlow, landed their seaplane, Lockheed Sirius, in front of the hangars. They had flown over from Russia.

After the Second World War, the hangars were taken over by the Soviet Army and, among other things, they were used as warehouses and wood shops.

Hangars are the world’s first reinforced concrete shell structure of such a great size, 109 x 36 m.

The hangars were designed by a Danish engineering company Christiani & Nielsen. The progeny of this Danish construction company have designed famous buildings such as the Sydney Opera House and the Beijing Olympic Stadium.

For the rest of the world, the creation of structures analogous to these seaplane hangars started in the 1930s and became particularly popular in the 1950s.

Hangars are home for legendary submarine “Lembit”. The order for the submarine was submitted in 1934 to the British shipbuilding company Vickers-Armstrongs. The vessel was completed and launched in England in 1936.

After the Soviet Union had occupied Estoin time September 2012

nia in 1940, “Lembit” served in the Red Banner Baltic Fleet of the USSR. During the Second World War “Lembit” conducted three successful attacks: one ship was torpedoed, one ship sank and one was damaged after hitting mines laid by the submarine. After the war “Lembit” was used as a training vessel based in the town of Gorky on the Volga River. In 1979 the submarine returned to Tallinn.

In 1992 the “Lembit” submarine was taken over by the Estonian Maritime Museum and became vessel No. 1 of the Estonian Navy. “Lembit” held the title of the oldest submarine in the world still in water, when it was hauled ashore on 21 May 2011. “Lembit” weighs approximately 600 tonnes.

You can also see a copy of the seaplane Short 184 in

the museum. This plane played an obvious role in the biggest naval battle of World War I. Eight aircraft were in active duty in Estonia during the years of 1919-1933. However, the Estonian aircraft did not participate in battle and was mainly used for training, sightseeing, postal and civil flights.

Suur Tõll (Toell the Great) is the world’s oldest preserved steam-powered icebreaker, while other fascinating vessels at the Seaplane Harbour include the Maasilinn wreck, a yacht named Haili, and also the patrol launch, Grif, the border guard vessel, Torm, and the Kalev minesweeper.

The Maasilinna ship originates from Saaremaa Island and was built by local ship builders in approximately 1550. It is the oldest preserved vessel of Estonian origin. The shipwreck was found in the Väike Väin Strait separating Saaremaa Island and Muhu Island in 1985. The site of discovery was the anchorage of the former medieval Soneburg (Maasilinn) Order Castle. The Vasa ship that is on show in Stockholm, Sweden is nearly a century younger.

Estonian public administration needs more attention While the export

markets supported recovery in the first quarters after the downturn in 2009, greatly thanks to the booming economies in Sweden and Russia, the current internal market has taken over this role. The relatively solid growth of the gross domestic product in the second quarter of 2012 (2.0%) comes from sectors targeted towards the domestic market. The setback in the biggest sector, industrial production – due to sluggish export markets – is outweighed by the growth in retail trade, construction, hotels and restaurants, etc.

The growth in real GDP dropped considerably from 3.9 percent in the first quarter of 2012 and is now within the range (1.5-2.0%) expected by many analysts for the whole year. However, the deepening global uncertainty could negatively influence the confidence of the companies and households, and thereby ruin the appetite for investment and consumption. This may result in a downturn in the second half of the year.

Both the government

and financial sectors are better equipped for the challenges of the external factors than a few years ago. Today, when the parliament is moving towards the rati-

fication of the European Stability Mechanism, it is important to have solid financial conditions at home. While the state finances were already well managed before the crisis, now the books of the banks are exposed less to the risks as well. First, the overall size of the loan portfolio has decreased since end of 2008 and second, the quality of the portfolio has been enhanced. So, the decreased size of the loan portfolio from 17.5 billion euros in the middle of 2008 to 14.5 billion euros in June of current year has allowed a considerable reduction in foreign obligations of the financial sector. The share of overdue loans has shrunk from 8 percent at its peak in August 2010 to 4.4 percent in June 2012.

Now, with the finances of the State under control again, more attention can be paid to the efficiency of Estonian public administration.

The managing partner of PwC Estonia, Ago Vilu, compares the state to a holding company, with the central government as the mother and local authorities as daughters. However, in a country with less than 1.3 million inhabitants, a conglomerate with more than 200 daughters, unclear responsibilities and poor finances may be far from optimal and sustainable.

than 200 local authorities have to manage a wide range of tasks – education, social security and road maintenance, etc – with a less than 22 percent (21.8 percent in 2011) share of the total state budget. The problem relates not only to poor financing but also to shortages of specialist knowledge. The key questions of tackling state management reforms are: which tasks are required to be fulfilled locally and on what level; and what advantages are there in managing certain functions locally.

For example, some services, especially in social security, could be offered from service centres which are already established around the country. The possible benefits are expected to come from

not only the financial savings but also from increasing the quality of services.

Shared service centres of different authorities have already been established but deeper reform to the level of local government is also needed and requires, of course, more determination.

According to Ago Vilu, after having achieved memberships of NATO, EU and the Eurozone, the optimisation and conceptualisation of state management could be the next ‘Big Goal’ of the country. More efficient state management could also help to manage the external financial risks, hopefully without having to spend the resulting savings on rescue actions of less efficient governments.

Estonian Airi uudised / Estonian Air News Tähelepanu kaubaveol 

Alates 1. augustist 2012 osutab Estonian Airile kaubaveoteenust Prantsusmaa kaubaveofirma ConcordeAviation.

Eesti hea geograafiline asend soodustab transiiti ida ja lääne vahel. Lennuki pagasiruumi maksimaalne kasutamine on Estonian Airile oluline lisatulu allikas ja lennufirma on valmis käitlema kaupu vastavalt nõudlusele.

“Seoses uue töökorralduse ja efektiivsuse suurendamisega on meie lähiaja prioriteet kaubaveo osakonna funktsioonide sisseostmine. See võimaldab meil maksimaalselt ära kasutada kauba käitlemise potentsiaali,“ märkis Estonian Airi kommertsjuht Rauno Parras.

ConcordeAviation, mis on spetsialiseerunud koostööle regionaallennukitega opereerivate väiksemate lennufirmadega, võimaldab Estonian Airil vastavalt lennukite suurusele kaupu paremini sobitada. “Tegemist on dünaamilise ja ambitsioonika ettevõttega, mis tegutseb paindlikult ja keskendub meie klientidele,” lisas Rauno Parras.

Focus on cargo sales  From 1 August 2012, Estonian Air cargo sales services are provided by a France based cargo company ConcordeAviation, which will greatly improve the airline’s potential of air freight.

The geographical position of Estonia favours transit between East and West.

Maximal use of aircraft’s cargo room is an important additional source of income for Estonian Air and the airline is ready to respond to the demands of cargo handling.

“Due to restructuring and increase of efficiency, we are now outsourcing the functions of cargo department, because that helps us to take the maximum of our cargo handling potential,“ says Rauno Parras, CCO of Estonian Air. ConcordeAviation is a specialist in cooperation with smaller airlines that operate with regional aircraft and allows Estonian Air to better match goods with the right aircraft. ”It is a dynamic and ambitious company.

Their size allows them to be flexible and focus on the needs of our clients,” says Rauno Parras.

Telli toit ette 

Alates 10. juulist 2012 pakub Estonian Air Travel-klassi reisijatele võimalust lennule toit ette tellida. Toiduvalikus

26

on nii maitsvad kerged suupisted kui ka toekamad söögid: Caesari salat kanaga, sea sisefilee ürdivõiga, pannkoogid ja võileivad. Pakutakse ka joogist ja suupistetest koosnevaid komplekte.

Ettetellimismenüüd on koostatud vastavalt lennu sihtkohale ja kestusele. Reisijad saavad toitu ette tellida hiljemalt 36 tundi enne lennu väljumist.

On võimalik teha üllatus oma lähedastele, sõpradele või kolleegidele, tellides neile ette näiteks klaasi šampanjat või koogi.

“Kliendid otsivad võimalusi, kuidas pardateenindus enda jaoks personaalsemaks muuta. Kõigil ei ole ühesugune maitse ja seega on lennufirmade jaoks oluline pakkuda erinevaid toite,“ ütles Estonian Airi kommertsjuht Rauno Parras.

Pre-order meals 

From 10 July 2012, Estonian Air offers its Travel Class passengers the opportunity to pre-order meals. Customers can choose from light snacks to steaks. The menu includes, for example, Caesar salad with chicken, pork tenderloin with herb butter, pancakes and sandwiches, while different drink and snack combos are also available.

The pre-order menu selection varies according to the flight destination and time. Passengers can pre-order delicious meals no later than 36 hours before the departure time.

This opportunity can also be used to the surprise loved ones, a friend or a colleague by ordering a glass of champagne or a cake for him or her.

“The overall trend is that customers are looking for ways to personalise the onboard service for themselves. Not all customers have the same taste and thus it is important for airlines to offer variety,” says Rauno Parras, CCO of Estonian Air.

Uus hinnaklass: ECO Plus 

Mõeldes neile, kes soovivad soodsa hinnaga piletit, kuid nautida suupisteid ja joogivalikut pardal, lõime uue hinnatüübi – Eco Plus.

Eco Plus piletiga reisijatele kehtivad paljud Eco piletireeglid – kehtivus 12 kuud, tasuta nime muutmine (lubatud enne esimest väljalendu), tasuta äraantav pagas maksimaalse kaaluga kuni 23 kg, 8 kg käsipagasit ning istekoht pardal Travel klassis. Meeldivaks erandiks võrreldes teiste Travel klassi piletitüüpidega (Eco, Eco Mini ja Eco Light)

on see, et Eco Plus pileti hinnas sisalduvad tasuta suupisted ja karastusjoogid pardal.

Teistel Travel klassi reisijatel on võimalik suupisteid ja jooke osta pardapoest. Lisaks on kõigil Travel klassi reisijatel võimalus pardatoitlustus ette tellida.

Rohkem infot leiad lk 97 ja meie veebilehelt.

New fare class – ECO Plus  New fare type – Eco Plus – has been created for passengers who prefer travelling for lower fares but still want to enjoy free catering on board.

Eco Plus fare conditions are almost the same as Eco conditions – validity 12 months, name change permitted before first departure, 23 kg of hold baggage and 8 kg of hand baggage free allowance, seating in Travel class. Pleasant exception compared to Eco, Eco Mini and Eco Light ticket is that Eco Plus ticket includes free snack and non-alcoholic beverages on board. For other Travel class passengers we offer a buy-on-board menu of snacks and beverages. In addition to that all Travel class passengers may pre-order their onboard meal.

More info at page 97 and our website.

Uus kaasturundusprogramm 

Estonian Air käivitas koostöös Matomy Meedia Grupiga kaasturundusprogrammi. Iga ettevõte, kes on programmiga liitunud ning kes reklaamib oma kodulehel Estonian Airi ja lennufirma pakkumisi, teenib müügikäibe pealt teatud protsendi.

“Matomy aitab tõsta Estonian Airi brändi tuntust ning laiendada rahvusvahelist müüki veebis. Usaldame nende kogemust kaasturundusprogrammi juhtimises ning hindame nende tegutsemisulatust kogu maailmas,” ütles Estonian Airi kommertsjuht Rauno Parras.

“Meil on hea meel pakkuda kaasturundusprogrammi teenuseid Estonian Airile. Meie müügitiim ning maailmatasemel optimeerimis- ja raporteerimisvahendid aitavad tutvustada Estonian Airi brändi ja seeläbi suurendada lennufirma tulu,“ ütles Matomy kliendisuhete ala asepresident Gil Klein.

Estonian Air säästab kütust 

Estonian Air on pidevalt tegelnud kütusekulu kärpimisega. 2007. aastal käivitati spetsiaalne programm kütuse säästmiseks.

Ettevõte opereerib kolme tüüpi lennukitega – Boeing 737-500, CRJ900 ning Embraer170 – ja on võtnud kasutusele järgmised meetmed kütuse kokkuhoiuks.

• Lennukiiruse optimeerimine nii õhku tõusul, lennul kui ka maandumisel. Lennukiirus sõltub liini pikkusest (arvestatud on ka sihtkohta jõudmise aega).

• Lennuplaan on optimeeritud. Üle 1,5 tunni pikkusel reisil kasutatakse madalaima kütusekuluga lendu, arvestades nii temperatuuri kui ka tuultega.

• Lennuplaneerimissüsteem arvestab len-

nujaamade erinevaid kütusehindu.

• Tavapärane taxi-out ja taxi-in on optimeeritud, kasutatakse vaid ühte mootorit, säästes lisaks kütusele mootori töötunde.

Estonian Air tegutseb koos lennuliiklusteenistusega, et õhuruumi struktuuri ja liinivõrku paremaks teha. Näiteks Stockholmi ja Oslo liine sirgemaks muutes võib Boeing ühe lennuga säästa 100 kg ja CRJ900 ning E170 60-70 kg kütust.

SESARi alla kuuluva nn Uue Silla projektiga soovib Estonian Air koos Tallinna lennuliikluskontrolli, EUROCONTROL-i, Venemaa GosNIIAS-i ja teiste lennukompaniide ning -ühendustega muuta sujuvamaks lennuvood Moskvasse, Stockholmi, Kopenhaagenisse, Viini ja teistesse sihtkohtadesse.

Estonian Airi lennuinsenerid jälgivad pidevalt kütusekulu. Ettevõte on kasutusele võtnud kütusekulu indeksi nii reisija kui ka tunni kohta, hindamaks, kui efektiivsed on eri tehnoloogiad ja meetodid selle säästmiseks. 2012. juulis vähenes Boeingu kütusekulu 3 protsenti, Bombardier CRJ900 4 protsenti ja Embraer E170 kütusekulu samuti 4 protsenti.

Estonian Air reduces fuel consumption 

Estonian Air has been continuously working to reduce fuel cost and has even launched a specific Fuel Savings program in the beginning of 2007. Currently operating with three types of aircraft – Boeing 737500, CRJ900 and Embraer170 – the airline has applied several activities to reduce fuel consumption: • Optimizing flight speed on all stages: climb, cruise and descent. On routes of

varying length, different airspeed is applied, bearing in mind the time of arrival to the destination.

• Optimization of flight planning. On flights longer than 1.5 hour, the route with lowest fuel consumption is used while taking into consideration the outside temperature and wind aloft.

• Flight planning system takes into account the difference of fuel price at various airports.

• Traditional methods such as taxi-out and taxi-in using one engine, reducing the use of APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) and aircraft washing for drag reduction.

Additionally, in cooperation with ATS (Air Traffic Services), Estonian Air works actively towards improving the airspace structure and route network. For example, “straightening” the route to Stockholm and Oslo enables the airline to cut fuel consumption approximately 100 kg on each Boeing flight and 60-70 kg on CRJ900 and E170.

Within the “New Bridge” (part of SESAR) project, together with Tallinn ATC, EUROCONTROL, Russian GosNIIAS and several other airlines and organizations, Estonian Air is involved in improving the air transport flow on flights to Moscow, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Vienna and other destinations.

Estonian Air Flight Operations Engineering Team continuously monitors the fuel consumption monitoring. The company applies “Fuel/Seat/Block hour” indicator for evaluating the efficiency of techniques/methods to reduce fuel consumption.

In July 2012 the reduction in fuel consumption was 3% on Boeing, 4% on Bombardier CRJ900 and 6% on Embraer E170 aircraft.

O

n varahommik, peagi muutub imeilus ajalooline linnakeskus tihedaks ja häälekaks autode, jalgrataste ja busside puntraks.

Viimasel kümnendil on märgatavalt kasvanud igal võimalikul ja võimatul hetkel kella tilistavate stressis ratturite arv. Stockholm on üks maailma paremini organiseeritud linnu ja turistid kiidavad sageli, kui hõlbus on linna tajuda ning aru saada, kuidas kõik toimib. Sellest hoolimata on liiklus kui needus, aga saartel asuvas linnas ei saa seda paremini korraldada.

Jalutan vanalinna. Nagu enamik Euroopa linnade vanemaid kvartaleid, on see kasvanud mudastest alleedest romantilisteks ja põnevateks munakivitänavate labürindiks, mille kaardistamatutel nurkadel ja lõpututes tupikutes võib tunde seigelda.

Eesti turistile on Stockholmis pakkuda põnev mäng: kus on eesti kool? Kõik vaatavad pool minutit kaarti ja siis antakse start.

Kool on peidus väikese väljaku ääres. Tegu on ainukese vanalinnas asuva kooliga ja seda peetakse üheks paremaks eesti kooliks väljaspool Eestit.

Pärast vanalinnas vantsimist on paras aeg uudistada kuninglikku paleed. Ajaloohuvilised võivad veeta ülejäänud päeva seal.

Kui aga huvitab, kuidas ajalugu tehakse, tulevik päästetakse (või hävitatakse), siis parlamendihoone asub Helgeandsholmenil Västerlånggatanil.

Parlamendituur ei paku üksnes infot teadmishuvilistele, lisaks saab nautida suurepärast vaadet, sest hoone asub vanalinna ja city piiril.

Café Operas kohtun Tartu neiu Triin Saarniiduga, kes armus Stockholmi paar aastat tagasi ja töötab nüüd Café Opera ööklubis.

“Siinsed inimesed on väga avarapilgulised ja nendega on kerge suhelda,” ütleb Saarniit. “Nad on väga mõistvad. Vahel tunnen, et nad on liiga lihtsalt kõigega nõus.”

“Nägude kontroll on nädalavahetustel päris karm, paluge hotellis, et teie nimi lisataks külaliste nimekirja,” soovitab Saarniit. “Muidu ei pruugi õhtul klubisse pääseda.”

Aafrika käsitöö Trendikas piirkond jätkub Stureplanist, kus keeb kuum ööelu, Östermalmini, kus on rikaste korterid.

K au b a n d u s huvilistele teadmiseks, et Stockholmi populaarseim sisekujunduspood Afroart asub Östermalmil Nybrogatan 29. See on koht, kust trendikate Skandinaavia kodude omanikud leiavad Aafrika mustritega eredavärvilisi patju, korve ja kotte, millel on õiglase kaubanduse märk peal.

Afroarti äriidee on, et Rootsi disainerid aitavad Aafrika käsitöölistel luua esemeid, mida eurooplased ostavad. Östermalmil on kohustuslik juua üks hea kohv traditsioonilises kohvikus. Mina eelistan tassikest Östermalmshallenis, kus röstitud ubade lõhna kõrval on tunda salati, kala ja muu turul müüdava värske kraami hõngu. Robert’s Coffee’s on WiFi. Stockholmi elanikele on puhkus luksus, mida saab nautida vaid nädalavahetusel, pikkade pühade või puhkuse ajal. Inimesed ei sega tööd lõbuga ja seetõttu on kohvikutes ja restoranides raske WiFi-t leida. Mõned kohad pakuvad klientidele parooli, mis kehtib tunni, kuid avalikud võrgud on haruldased.

“Söder on Stureplani alternatiiv. Ma ei pea silmas alternatiivset selle sõna artistlikus tähenduses. See on lihtsam ja ausam keskklassi piirkond,” ütleb Borodina.

Götgatani ja Medborgarplatseni ümbruses on palju baare. Borodina soovitab ööellu sukeldudes inimestega suhelda.

“Inimesed on valmis vestlema, arendama intellektuaalset mõttevahetust, kuid isiklikuks ei maksa minna ega poliitikast rääkima hakata. Rootslastele meeldivad kerged ja lõbusad õhtud,” teab ta.

Paljud näited toetavad tema väidet. Kasvõi IKEA, H&M, üle ilma tuntud lauljad, näitlejad jne.

Kui plaanite Stockholmis äri avada või osa ettevõttest Rootsi kolida, soovitab Vahermägi leida kohaliku parneri, et vältida võimalikke kultuurikonflikte.

“Rootsi ärikultuur on väga mitteametlik ja hierarhiavaba, kuid see ei tähenda, et see oleks nõrk või ebaefektiivne. Suisa vastupidi,” teab Vahermägi.

“Rootsi tööandjate ja töötajate suhe meenutab vähem bossi ja alluva suhtlust kui mujal maailmas,” räägib Patrik Lund oma kogemustest Rootsi informaatika-logistika ettevõttes Stråhlfors.

Võiks arvata, et soomerootslast, kes on töötanud Soome Stråhlforsi kontoris, ei üllata Stockholmis miski. Kuid üllatas küll.

“Rootsi ettevõttes on oluline konsensus, peetakse palju koosolekuid ja otsustamine on väga aeglane. Kõik võivad arvamust avaldada ja kõik peavad tundma ennast protsessi kaasatuna,” lisab Lund. “See on ilus kontsept ja hoiab meeskonna ühtsena.”

Östermalmshallen

Kuidas Stockholmis edukas olla Rootsi on Skandinaavia suurim turg ja Stockholm on Rootsi ettevõtluse keskus. Riigis on 200 aastat valitsenud rahu – pikim periood maailmas.

Seetõttu on Rootsi ettevõtlusel olnud aega areneda ja turul peaaegu pole täitmata nišše. Et karmis konkurentsis ellu jääda, on Rootsi ettevõtjad meisterlikud turundajad, klienditeenindajad ja suhtehoidjad.

Taave Vahermägi on 1Office juht. Eesti ettevõte peab Stockholmis büroohotelli ja teenustekeskust.

“Kui lähed oma ettevõttega Stockholmi, pead kindlasti püüdma vaid Rootsi turgu,” soovitab Vahermägi. Põhjamaade viies riigis on eraldi turud peaaegu igal alal.

“Pead ise oma niši leidma ja hästu turgu tundma,” ütleb Vahermägi, tunnistades, et ka tema ettevõte ei saaks muul alal hakkama. Nimelt on nende spetsialiteet aidata Baltimaade ettevõtetel Rootsis kanda kinnitada ja vastupidi.

Lundi sõnul pole Stockholmis konkurents ettevõtte oma töötajate vahel nii terav kui Helsingis, kuid ettevõtluskliima on siiski pinev, keskendutakse tõelistele konkurentidele – teistele ettevõtetele.

I’m standing on Skeppsbron, at the edge of Gamla stan, the place where it all started.

The bay opens up in front of me with views to Slussen, Södermalm, Blasieholmen, Skeppsholmen, Kastellholmen and Djurgården – all important parts of this city of islands. But without the commerce on Skeppsbron the great Swedish empire around the Baltic Sea might never have existed.

t’s early, moments before the morning rush transforms this beautiful historic city centre into a loud mess of cars, buses and bikes.

The number of stressed bikers, eager to ring their bike bells whenever somebody moves out of line, has risen sharply during the last decade. Stockholm is one of the best organised cities in the world and tourists often praise the city for how easy it is to learn to read the city and understand how everything works. But because of the islands the traffic remains an unsolved curse.

I walk into the Old Town. Like most old parts of any European city, it has grown from one dirty alleyway to hundreds of exciting and romantic cobblestone paths where the labyrinths of almost unmappable turns and dead-ends offer visitors hours of adventure.

A great game for first time (Estonian) visitors is "Where’s the Estonian school?". Everyone taking part gets a look at the map for half a minute, and then the race is on.

The school is hidden very close to a little urban glade. It is the only school in the Old Town and considered one of the best Estonian schools outside Estonia.

After strolling around the Old Town, it’s time to go to the Royal Palace. Museum and history lovers can spend the rest of their day there.

destination made and our future saved (or destroyed), the Parliament House is on Helgeandsholmen at the end of Västerlånggatan. Tours of the Parliament don’t only offer knowledge for the knowledgeable, but also a fantastic view as the Parliament Houses are built seemingly in the middle of the stream between the Old Town and the City area.

City of tolerance I walk past the Royal Palace and over the bridge to Kungsträdgården. This is the beginning of the more affluent parts of Stockholm, both economically and culturally. On my left is the Royal Opera House, built during the 1890s by king Oscar III. In Café Opera I meet Triin Saarniit, a young Estonian woman from Tartu who fell in love with Stockholm a few years ago and now works for the Café Opera nightclub.

“People here are open-minded and very accessible,” says Saarniit. “And also very tolerant. I sometimes even feel that they agree a little too much!”

Café Opera is one of the trendiest and definitely the most international nightclubs in Stockholm.

It’s probably the one your hotel recommends if you ask about nightlife.

“To get past the face control that is quite strict on weekends, ask your hotel to add your name to the guest list,” suggests Saarniit. “Otherwise you might not get in at all during a busy night.”

African craft The trendy area goes through Stureplan, where most of the hottest nightlife takes place, up to Östermalm, where the rich have their city apartments.

For daytime shoppers, interior design is very popular now in Stockholm with Afroart, a shop in Östermalm, on Nybrogatan 29 being a real hot spot. This is where people with stylish Scandinavian homes will find all kinds of cushions, baskets and bags

with big African patterns and bright colours, mostly with Fairtrade certificates to go.

The business idea behind Afroart is that Swedish designers help African craftsmen to produce handicraft that Europeans would buy.

Another must in Östermalm is to have a nice cup of well-roasted coffee in one of all the stylish or traditional cafés around. I prefer to enjoy my cup in Östermalmshallen, where the smell of roast beans competes with the fresh scents of salads, fish and whatever the marketeers drag in. Robert’s Coffee has WiFi. In Stockholm, you only have the luxury of a break during weekends, long holidays and after work. You don’t mix work and play, which explains why WiFi is hard to come by at cafés and restaurants. Some places offer a one-hour password for customers, but there are almost no open networks here.

savvy, and artistic. Greta Garbo grew up here and its bars and mead halls are mentioned in songs from the 18th century.

My favourite walk coming from the Old Town, is through Slussen to Götgatsbacken. Here you’ll find bars, cafés and restaurants, but I am drawn to an interior design shop selling small household items and meticulously designed toys – DesignTorget (Götgatan 31).

In the same building, in Wayne’s Coffee, I meet Kristina Borodina, a young Russian Cross Media Producer who has lived in Stockholm for a couple of years.

“Söder is the alternative Stureplan.

I don’t mean alternative in the sense of underground or artsy. It’s just a little simpler and more honestly middleclass”, says Borodina.

There are lots of bars situated on Götgatan and around Medborgarplatsen. As a nightlife tip Borodina suggests you talk with people because they are good at small-talk.

“People are open to conversations, also to more intellectual ones, but don’t get too personal or political. Swedes want to keep their evenings light and fun.”

and take Svartensgatan street eastward to get to Mosebacke Torg. There you’ll find Södra Teatern, famous for its live music, plays and clubs (www.sodrateatern.com).

If you’re looking for lunch, Hermans on Fjällgatan 23 offers the best organic vegetarian buffet in Stockholm. The view over to Djurgården is magnificent and reminds you of how the city looked like a few centuries ago – all islands and hills. Now, Söder is the only relict of those hills and steep slopes.

How to make it in Stockholm Sweden has the biggest market in Scandinavia and Stockholm is the epicentre of Swedish business. The country has enjoyed peace for 200 years, longer than anywhere in the world, so Swedish business life has had time to develop to a full market with almost no empty niches. To make it in this harsh competition, Swedish companies are masters of marketing, customer service and client relations.

Taave Vahermägi is the manager of 1Office, an

Estonian Office Hotel and Business Services company with a branch in Stockholm.

“If you take your business to Stockholm, you should definitely do it only for the Swedish market,” advises Vahermägi. The Nordic countries are five separate markets in almost every field.

“You need to find your niche and know how to market yourself,” says Vahermägi and admits that his own company wouldn’t be able to thrive if it tried to move too far from its niche, which is to help Baltic companies establish themselves on the Swedish market and vice versa.

“Stockholm is a great city for IT-entrepreneurs, but what the Swedes really are best at is knowing what the customer wants,” adds Vahermägi.

There are a number of examples that support his claim. Just think of IKEA, H&M and dozens of global stars of music, film and entertainment industries.

If you’re planning to open a business in Stockholm, or just move a part of your business to Sweden, Vahermägi recommends you find a local partner first, because there are potential culture conflicts you want to avoid.

“Swedish business culture is very non-formal and non-hierarchal, but this does not mean it’s weak or ineffective. Quite the opposite,” explains Vahermägi.

“Swedish employers and employees have a relationship that is much less boss-worker than in any other country in the world,” says Patrik Lund based on his own experience at the Swedish Information Logistics company Stråhlfors. You’d think that a Finland Swede who has worked for the Finnish branch of Stråhlfors in Helsinki for a decade would not feel any culture surprise moving to Stockholm, but he did.

“In Sweden, it’s all about consensus within the company, so there are lots of meetings and sometimes decision-making is very slow. Everybody is allowed to express their opinion and everybody has to feel involved in the process,” marks Lund.

“Of course, that’s seldom what happens in reality, but it’s a nice concept. This keeps the team working together.”

Lund thinks that in Stockholm the competition between employees of a company is not as tough as in Helsinki. The business climate is still competitive, but energy is more focused on beating the real competition – other companies.

Olen vahel mõelnud, et reisil läheks hädasti vaja psühholoogilist eneseabiõpikut – ja seda mitte maailmakaardi ääreotstes seigeldes, vaid suurlinnades, millega esmatutvust tehes vasardavad sageli peas küsimused: kust alustada? Kas ta ikka on selline, nagu paistab? Kas läheme kohe tülli või armume ülepeakaela või saavad meist lihtsalt head sõbrad? Ja kuidas tal minuga mängimine ometi nii hästi välja tuleb?

K

una Pariisi teejuhte on maailma raamatupoodide lettidel ilmselt samapalju kui koka- või sõnaraamatuid, tegin katse end lugupeetud linnaga taaskohtudes faktikülluse asemel hoopis muusika ja filmidega meeleollu viia. Maagilisse realismi sukeldumiseks vaatasin “Amélie“ filmi, värskendasin mälupilte ning kultuuriteadmisi Woody Alleni “Keskööga Pariisis“ ja vaatasin Eesti publiku seas värskelt täissaalidele jooksnud “1+1“.

Kõrvaklappides üks mu vanu lemmikuid, mõni aasta tagasi taevastele nootidele lahkunud Malcolm McLareni legendaarne album “Paris“, astusin teistkordselt elus maha lennukilt maailma turismilinnas number üks. Paris, Paris – I feel love, laulab mahehäälne McLaren, aga kuidas see armastus metropolis enese jaoks üles leida? Ilmselgelt mitte Prantsuse kunagise presidendi Charles de Gaulle’i auks nimetatud lennujaamast, tuleb leida tee otse linnasüdamesse. Nagu ka inimsuhetes – igaühele oma.

Pariisi ajatu klassika Kui Pariis tundub alguses pelutav, peida ebakindlus elegantsete päikseprillide taha, istu lennukist RER-i ehk lähirongi peale, mis viib Pariisi põhjavaksalisse Gare du Nordi ja seikle sealt edasi südalinna. Viimane on Pariisi-suuruse 2,2 miljoni elanikuga linna puhul muidugi hajus mõiste. Kohalikud kasutavad Pariisist rääkides arrondisment’ide ehk piirkondade numbreid, mis hakkavad hargnema nr 1 ehk Louvre’i palee juurest ja kulgevad spiraalikujuliselt kuni nr 20 ehk

äärelinna Ménilmontant’ini. Muuseas, 2006. aasta filmis “Paris, je t’aime“ loovad 20 maailmas tuntud režissööri igaüks viieminutilise portree ühest Pariisi linnajaost.

Tänapäevase Pariisi planeering, mille kunagisi kitsaid tänavaid lõhestavad laiad boulevard’id ja ilmestavad rohelised pargid, on suurel määral parun Haussmanni looming. Sellise näo sai Pariis Napoleon III ajal 19. sajandi teisel poolel.

Neil, kelle tutvus Pariisiga on piirdunud postkaartide ikooniliste vaadetega, soovitaksin omal nahal kõige kogemiseks alustada Arc de Triomphe’ist ning liikuda alla mööda ChampsÉlysées’ laia puiesteed. Kindlasti kohtate mõnd tänavamuusikut, kes Joe Dassini ajatust laulukesest oma tõlgenduse esitab. Nime on see maailma üks tuntumaid tänavaid laenanud Kreeka mütoloogiast, kus kangelased suundusid viimsele puhkusele Elüüsiumi väljadele (kui nad teaksid, kui kallis siin tänapäeval kinnisvara ruutmeetri hind on, siis nad hauas kergendatult ei hingaks). Väljadel on pikkust peaaegu kaks kilomeetrit ja etteruttavalt võib öelda, et kontsakingad on kõikjal Pariisis mõeldud ainult tõelistele printsessidele ja sääremari võiks olla jalutamisega harjunud. Avenüül toimuvad Euroopa suurimad sõjaväeparaadid, ka Prantsuse vabariigi iseseisvuspäeva 14. juulil ehk Bastille’i kindluse vallutamise aastapäeva tähistatakse võimsa defileega. Riigipea saab seda jälgida otse oma lähinaabruses asuvast Élysée paleest.

Avenüü Champs-Élysées’ lõpetab mitme jalgpalliplatsi mõõtu Concorde’i ehk Üksmeele väljak, Pariisi suurim. Siit, Seine’i jõe kaldalt – mis sarnaselt suure osa ülejäänud Pariisiga on samuti UNESCO maailmapärandi kaitse all – paistab juba täies hiilguses kätte Eiffeli torn.

sihtkoht Jardin des Tuileries

Kui aga pärast maailma vanima pargi ehk Tuileries’i aedade läbimist selgub, et Louvre’i muuseumi ees on liiga pikad järjekorrad, ei tasu heituda – Pariisis on kümneid esmaklassilisi muuseume ja siinsamas lähedal, teisel pool Seine’i vanas beaux-art’i stiilis raudteejaamahoones asub võrdväärne Musée d'Orsay. 1900. aastaks Pariisi maailmanäituseks valminud hoone au ja uhkus on maailma esinduslikem impressionistide tööde väljapanek. Kui aga rahvamassidega koos kulgemine üldse ei huvita, võib valida mõne veel väiksema muuseumi – näiteks tehnoloogiamuuseumi Arts et Metiers, mis paikneb pooleldi vanas kirikus ja kus on vanade vidinate kõrval võimalik uudistada originaalset Foucault’ pendlit ning esimesi sõidumasinaid.

Keskaegse Pariisi südame tuiksoon, kust saab alguse ka linna 0-kilomeeter, on Seine’i jõel asuv väikene saar Île de la Cité. Saart ja Seine’i kaldaid ühendavad mitu silda, kuid kuulsaim on Pariisi vanim sild, 17. sajandi alguses ehitatud Pont Neuf.

(Filmisõber tardub mälestustes ja läheb puhastab tolmukorra alt “Pont Neufi armastajate“ DVD).

Lisaks Notre Dame’i katedraalile asub siin ka Pariisi gootika uhkus Saint Chapelle’i kabel, mille vitraažaknad on puhas ilu.

Veel kaks klassikut, milleta Pariisi külastus jääks poolikuks: vasakul jõekaldal Rive Gauche’is asuv

Ladina kvartal ning põhjaosas üle linna kõrguv Montmartre’i mägi. Ladina kvartalis on tarkuse kants, kus asuvad Sorbonne’i ülikooli hooned, samuti saab suures kuppelkirikus Panteonis tutvuda prantslastest maailmakultuuri suurkujudega. Siin paikneb ka Pariisi vanim kirik Saint-Germaindes-Prés, kus asus juba 6. sajandil benediktiini mungaklooster.

Montmartre on aga 19. sajandist kunstnike ja kirjanike väike Meka suures Pariisis.

Praegu on sel põhiliselt ajalooline väärtus, kuigi õhustikku on omajagu säilinud. Kui on soov võtta ette väike ajarännak koos sinna juurde kuuluva veini ja prantsuse lauluga, siis võib õhtu veeta kabarees Au Lapin Agile. Moulin Rouge’i peamine väärtus tänapäeval on selle välisilme, mitte sisu. Üle Pariisi linna vaatab bütsantsi, gooti ja romaani stiile ühendav Sacre Coeur’i kirik, mille juurde viivad 237 laia trepiastet.

Pariis on parkide, jalutamise ja jäätise söömise linn. Romantiline Butte de Chaumont 19. linnajaos või kuulsad Luxembourgi aiad, “Pariisi kopsude“ nimetuse ära teeninud Vincennes’i mets, algselt botaanikaaiaks ehitatud Jardin des Plantes, pimedas paheliseks muutuv Bologne mets, vanale raudteele ehitatud Proménade Plantée – kõik pakuvad head vaheldust, et end Pariisi kesklinna kärast natukeseks välja kiskuda.

Kui šopata, siis šikilt – isegi kui see tähendab vaid window shopping'ut. Lafayette’i galerii butiikide järjekorrad, rääkimata hinnasiltidest (numbrid näitavad tuhandeid eurosid), on maalähedasele eestlasele rabav elamus. Viimase saab täiesti tasuta ka siis, kui lihtsalt uudistada kohaliku gurmeeosakonna lette või imetleda hoone 20. sajandi alguse belle epoque’i art nouveau arhitektuuri. Tõelised toiduhuvilised võiksid leida tee ka La Grande Épicerie’le ehk prantsuse köögi palverändurite ühte meelispaika. Ainuüksi Pariisis on üle kolmveerandsaja Michelini tärni vääriliseks hinnatud restorani.

sihtkoht Et kostüümidega ei jääks uhkeldamata, võiks õhtu lõppeda Pariisi ooperimajas Opéra Garnier, kus lisaks muusikale saab süveneda ka Marc Chagalli 14 maailmakuulsat heliloojat kujutavasse laemaali.

Uued tuuled ja Pariis Kui heita pilk Montmartre’ilt Sacre Coeur’i basiilika juurest üle linna, jääb silma kõrghoonete vähesus – välja arvatud ühes kohas. Pariisi kesklinnas ei konkureeri uhkes üksilduses Eiffeli torniga mitte miski ning juba 1960-ndatel alustati eraldi pilvelõhkujatega La Defense arendamist. Uue linnaku tuntuim maamärk on La Grande Arche de la Defense, Triumfikaare moodne – ja silmaga hinnates pigem nurklik kui kaarjas – vaste. Idee on siiski sama: mõlemad on monumendid inimlikkusele ja humanismile, mitte kummardus sõjalistele võitudele.

Siin asub ka Pariisi kõrguselt teine hoone Eiffeli torni järel ehk 231 meetrit kõrge ärihoone Tour First. Selle tiitli napsas ta alles möödunud aastal Lõuna-Pariisis Montparnasse’il asuvalt 59-korruseliselt Tour Montparnasse’ilt, mille kõrgeim korrus on avatud turistidele. Muuseume leidub Pariisis ka moodsaimale maitsele. Põnev vormilt ja maailma parimaid sisult on Prantsuse ekspresidendi, Pariisi moderniseerida püüdnud Georges Pompidou auks nimetatud Centre Pompidou, kus veel näiteks eeloleval sügiselgi saab (lisaks muusemi üüratutele püsikollektsioonidele) näha kaasaegse maali grand old man’i Gerhard Richteri

panoraamnäitust ning erinäitusi Edward Munchi ja Henri Matisse’i loomingust.

Pariisi püsielanikud kunst, kirjandus ja disain elavad siinsamas kõrval Marais’ linnajaos, mis on aastasadade jooksul olnud koduks nii aristokraatidele kui ka juutidele. Tänapäeval näitab loomemajandus end Marais’ kümnetes galeriides, kuhu pääsevad vaid säravaimad kunstnikud või väljapaistvamad tulevikutähed. Üks kuulsamaid hüppelaudu uute kunstimaailma Picassode ja Monet’de jaoks on Galerie Perrotin, mille kahte korrust soovitan kindlasti külastada. Kuigi oleks kiusatus tembeldada Marais’s elavaid hiinlasi viimase aja sisserännanuteks, see nii siiski pole – hiina kogukond asustas linnajao I maailmasõja päevil, mil oli vaja töökäsi sõtta kutsutud meeste asendamiseks.

Moodsatest hoonetest vääriksid kindlasti tähelepanu kaks nn arhitektuuri Nobeli ehk Pritzker Prize’i laureaadi Jean Nouveli kätetööd: juba 1987. aastal valminud Araabiamaailma Instituut ning viis aastat tagasi valminud Musée du quai Branly. Esimene neist asub Seine’i vasakul kaldal, lähedal linna teisele looduslikule jõesaarele Île SaintLouis’le. Hoone edelakülje fassaadi katvad nelinurksed paneelid jätavad esmapilgul lihtsalt mulje araabia maailmale tüüpilistest mustritest, kuid tegelikult on sajad paneelid fotosensitiivsed – reguleerivad hoonesse pääseva valguse hulka.

Moodne MQB aga võttis oma koha sisse teise arhitektuuriklassiku Eiffeli torni vahetus läheduses. Arvestades Prantsuse koloniaalminevikku ja

sihtkoht Pariis lastega Vaatamata suurusele ja n

turistirohkusele, on Pariis lastesõbralik linn, kus leidub palju parke ja mänguväljakuid. Luxembourgi aedades ning Eiffeli torni ümbritsevas Champ de Mars’i pargis saab koos lastega kaasa naerda klassikalistele marionetietendustele, karussellid kuuluvad Pariisis samuti 21. sajandisse.

Vanemad kui kaheaastased lapsed võib juba viia lastemuuseumisse Cité des enfants, mis asub Kirde-Pariisis Parc de la Villette’is.

Päevajagu tegevust võib n

lastele leida kahes teemapargis: esimene neist on Pariisist põhja suunas 35 kilomeetrit eemal asuv Parc Asterix, mis atraktsioonide poolest sobib pigem suurematele ja seiklushimulistematele lastele. Pargi keskseid tegelasi tunneb iga prantslane Asterixi koomiksitest ning lugudest, seega hea võimalus tutvuda kohalike iidolitega. Väiksemad lapsed võib mikide-minnidega tutvuma viia Eurodisneylandi, mis asub kesklinnast umbes 20 kilomeetrit idas. Mõlemasse teemaparki saab mugavalt kesklinnast kohale sõita Pariisi RER-lähirongidega.

kultuuriväärtuste rahastamist üldiselt, on MQB ilmselt parimaid kohti, kus tutvuda kogu maailma põlisrahvaste kultuuriga.

Tänapäevane Pariis ei oleks päris Pariis, kui külastus piirduks ainult ajalooliste kesklinnakvartalitega. Mina soovitaksin küll soojalt minna ja seigelda ajaloolise töölisklassi elamurajooni Belleville’i kandis, kus juba aastakümneid elab üheskoos tõeline rahvaste paabel. Kuna elamine Belleville’is oli pikka aega väga odav, kolisid siiakanti paljud loomeinimesed, kes samuti piirkonna nägu kujundama asusid. Päritolult bellevilloise Edith Piaf rääkis uhkusega oma kohalikust aktsendist, mida on võrreldud ka inglise kokniga. Aasia, aafrika, kreeka, armeenia rahvusköögid pakuvad Belleville’is võrdväärseid maitseelamusi prantsuse köögile ning hinnad on mitte lihtsalt turisti-, vaid lausa tudengisõbralikud.

Eriliselt mõnus koht ajaveetmiseks on Canal Saint Martin, mis on Bassin de la Villette’i ja Seine’i jõe ühenduslüli. Siin on hea pariislasi jälgida kas mõnest kaldaäärsest kohvikust või ise kanali ääres kaasa võetud baguette’i ja veinipudeliga jalgu kõlgutades.

Keda huvitab sõna otseses mõttes underground, siis nüüd on võimalik külastada ka Pariisi katakombe – umbes 300 kilomeetrit teid paralleel-Pariisi, sissepääsuga Lõuna-Pariisis Montparnasse’il. Siin nagu igal pool mujalgi Parii-

sis tuleb meeles pidada, et tunglemine ja järjekorrad on sageli võrreldavad juubelilaulupeo kassajärjekorraga. Iseenesest on turistidele avatud pisike osa katakombidest, kuid subkultuurse liikumisena tegutsevad nn katafiilid omapäi, liikudes neile teadaolevaid radu pidi. Sisenetakse ventilatsiooni- ja kanalisatsiooniavade kaudu, peetakse nii piknikke, kinoõhtuid kui ka reive. Kui hauatagune elu huvitab maa peal, siis palju toredaid surnud inimesi leiab ka Père-Lachaise'i kalmistult, kuhu ainsa eestlasena on maetud Eduard Wiiralt. Neil aga, kelle hing ihkab rohelust erinevate aianduskultuuride ja tööstuselementide sümbioosis, tasuks sammud seada Javeli linnajakku Parc Andre Citroeni suunas.

Aitab keerulistest võrdlustest. Igaüks saab aru, et Pariis on nagu kange iseloomuga vanaema, kes muudab tõrksalt oma tõekspidamisi, näeb vigu ainult endast vähemkogenutes, aga suudab seda esitada nii võluvalt, et ikkagi maitsevad just tema pannkoogid (pardon, crepe’id) kõige paremini. Ja nagu ikka, lisandub iga korraga aina uusi mälestusi ning avastamisväärsusi.

Päev Pariisist eemal – Versailles Et kunagi linnast eemal asunud, aga tänaseks peaaegu Pariisi eeslinnaks muutunud Versailles on omamoodi riik riigis, tasuks selle rahulikuks nautimiseks võtta terve päev. E-riigi kodanik võiks näidata eeskuju ning osta pileti eelnevalt netis, kuna muidu tuleb arvestada umbes tunniajaste järjekordadega.

Prantsuse monarhia mania grandiosa on Versailles’is arendatud filigraansuseni. Tohutus kompleksis on mitu täiesti erinevat osa – palee, lossi taga pikalt laiuvad korrapärased pargid, purskkaevud, paadisõidule kutsuv tiik. Need moodustavad terava kontrasti Marie Antoinette’i maamõisaga, kus kuninganna tahtis taasluua Normandia pastoraalidülli. Pidi jääma mulje, et koht asub kaugel linnatsivilisatsioonist ja kuningapaleest. Iroonia seisnes selles, et väliselt Kääbikla, kus rabarberi ja sibulapeenarde kõrval patseerivad ringi kitsed ja kanad, olid hooned seest üdini luksuslikud. See kõik rüüstati Suure Prantsuse revolutsiooni käigus ning majade sisemust pole tänaseni taastatud. Kui külastus tehtud, vaatate Sophia Coppola “Marie Antoinette’i“ filmi kindlasti hoopis teise pilguga.

When travelling, I have sometimes caught myself craving for a psychological selfhelp book. This has not happened in the outback, but when visiting a major city for the first time and facing questions like where to start, is this the way it looks, shall we fall out at once or fall madly in love or simply become good friends and how can (s)he play me so well?

How to discover Par(ad)is(e)?

A

s the world’s bookstores have surely as many Paris guides as they have cookbooks or dictionaries, I attempted to get in the mood of a new encounter with this respectable city not through facts, but through music and films.

To dive into the city’s magical realism, I watched “Amélie“, followed by Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” and “1+1”, a recent box-office hit in Estonia.

So for the second time in my life, I touched down in the world’s No. 1 tourism destination. My headphones were playing “Paris”, the legendary album of Malcolm McLaren, one of my favourites who left for the heavenly stages a few years ago.

“Paris, Paris – I feel love”, say the lyrics of McLaren, but how can I find this love in the metropolis itself? Clearly not from the airport named after the former French president Charles de Gaulle. Like in human relationships, I must find a way straight to the city’s heart.

The timeless classics of Paris If you are at first intimidated by Paris, hide your insecurity behind fancy sunglasses, switch from the aircraft to RER, i.e. the rapid transit train that takes you to the Gare du Nord train terminal and head towards the city centre. For a city with 2.2 million inhabitants, a city centre is, of course, a fuzzy concept. To navigate, the locals use arrondissements, i.e. districts that start with the 1st District at the Louvre and spiral onwards

until the 20th District, the Ménilmontant suburb.

By the way, in Paris, Je t’aime, a film made in 2006, twenty well-known film directors created a fiveminute portrait of each city district.

The cityscape of Paris today is characterised by narrow streets, wide boulevards and green parks – Baron Haussmann is the mastermind behind it.

This is Paris as it was in the second half of the 19th century, during the reign of Napoleon III. Those who have studied Paris only from iconic postcards should begin their tour from Arc de Triomphe and then take the wide avenue of ChampsÉlysée. You will surely meet some street musicians performing their version of the timeless classic of Joe Dassin. This, one of the world’s bestknown streets was named after fields of Elysium that in Greek mythology were the final resting place of fallen heroes (they would be turning in

destination In Paris with children n Despite of its size and popularity as a tourist attraction, Paris is a city that loves children. It has many parks and playgrounds and in the Luxembourg gardens and Champ de Mars, the park surrounding the Eiffel Tower, your children and you can enjoy classic puppet shows. Naturally, the 21st century Paris has its share of carousels. Older than two-year-olds can visit the children’s museum – Cité des enfants – that is located in Northeast Paris at Parc de la Villette.

Then there are two then

me parks with attractions that can fill a whole day: Parc Asterix is located 35 km from Paris in North and is suitable for bigger and more adventurous children. Everyone who has ever read a comic book is familiar with Asterix.

For younger children, there is Eurodisneyland with its Mickeys and Minnies located some 20 kilometres east of the city centre. Both theme parks are easily accessible from the city centre by the RER rapid transit system.

their graves if they knew how expensive is a square meter of property in the area now). The fields are almost two kilometres long, so unless you’re a princess, leave anything with heels at home and prepare for a lengthy walk.

The avenue is host to Europe’s largest military parades, the grandest being the parade honouring the National Day of Independence on July 14th, the anniversary of the conquering of the Bastille.

The head of state is watching the parade from the nearby Palace of Élysée. At the end of ChampsÉlysée is the Concorde square, the largest in town.

Like most of Paris it is a world heritage site of UNESCO and offers a glimpse to the famous Eiffel tower.

When you have walked through the world’s oldest park, Tuileries, and find that the queue in front of the Louvre is too long, don’t lose hope.

There are tens of excellent museums in Paris and right here on the other side of the Seine is Musée d'Orsay in the old beaux-art railway station building. Completed in 1900 for the Paris World Expo, it now houses the world’s best collection of impressionist art. If you don’t like crowds, choose some smaller museum like the museum of technology, Arts et Metiers, that is partly located in an old church and displays not only modern technology, but also the original Foucault pendulum and the first vehicles.

Île de la Cité, a small island on the Seine, is the main artery of the medieval Paris and the town’s geographical centre. The island is linked with several bridges, the most famous of them being the oldest bridge in Paris – Pont Neuf – that was built in early 17th century. Time to go and wipe the dust off the DVD of “The Lovers on the Bridge”. In addition to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, this is also the location for the city’s Gothic jewel, the chapel of Sainte-Chappelle, with its amazingly beautiful tainted glass windows.

Another two classics which are a must during a trip to Paris are the Latin quarter on the left bank of Rive Gauche and the Montmartre hill in the North towering above the town. The Latin quarter is a hotbed for knowledge with the University of Sorbonne and Panteon’s famous cupola. That is also where the oldest church in Paris is. SaintGermain-des-Prés was a monastery already in the 6th century.

Since the 19th century, Montmartre has been a little Mecca in the big Paris for artists and writers. Today it has mainly historic value, though there is still plenty of ambience. If you wish to go on time-travel with a bottle of wine and a French song, spend a cabaret night in Au Lapin Agile. The main value of Moulin Rouge today is its look, not content. Overlooking Paris is the Church of Sacre Coeur, a mix of Byzantine, Gothic and Roman architecture with 237 wide steps leading to it.

A day away from Paris: Versailles Since Versailles, this state in a state that once was away from n

the city has by now become practically a suburb of Paris, it is best to dedicate a whole day for exploring it. It is best to buy a ticket online because the alternative is to spend an hour queuing.

In Versaille, you can enjoy the mania grandiosa of the French monarchy at its finest. This huge complex consists of several totally different parts: the Palace itself, huge carefully aligned parks behind the castle, the fountains, and the pond that looks great for boating. These form a sharp contrast with the estate of Marie Antoinette where the Queen wanted to recreate the pastoral and idyllic Normandy. Her plan was to create an illusion that the place is located far from the urban civilisation and the royal palace. The irony was that while the outdoors was rustic to the extreme, the buildings were extremely luxurious inside. All of it was plundered during the French Revolution and the indoor luxury was never restored. Once you have been there, you will have a whole different perspective when watching Sophia Coppola’s film „Marie Antoinette.”

Paris is a town of parks for walking and eating ice-cream.

Choice for an alternative to the buzz of central Paris is wide, ranging from the romantic Butte de Chaumont in the 19th District or famous Luxembourg Gardens, the Vincennes forest that was once known as the lungs of Paris, Jardin de Plantes that has been designed as botanical gardens, the Bologne forest that turns mysterious in the dark and Proménade Plantée built on the old railway.

If you are going to shop, do it in style, even when limiting yourself to window shopping. The lines of boutiques at the Lafayette Gallery, to say nothing of price tags (in thousands of euros!), are an astonishing sight even for a pragmatic Estonian tourist. Take a look at the local gourmet department or marvel the art nouveau architecture of the building that dates back to early 20th century. Food-lovers should visit La Grande Épicerie, a Mecca for the French cuisine. Paris alone has more than 75 restaurants with at least one Michelin star.

To give costumes the credit they deserve, the night could end in Opéra Garnier, the Paris opera house where in addition to music you can delve into the ceiling painting of 14 world-famous composers by Marc Chagall.

New winds in Paris If you look out towards the city from the Sacre Coeur in Montmartre, you cannot help noticing the almost total lack of skyscrapers. Nothing in central Paris is allowed to overshadow the Eiffel Tower, so the development of La Defense, a modern high-rise area, started already in 1960s. The bestknown landmark of this district is La Grande Arche de la Defense, the modern and box-like version of the Arc de Triomphe. But the idea is the same: both are monuments to humanity and humanism, not to military victories.

This is also the site of Tour First, the 231-metre-high office building that is second in height only to the Eiffel tower. For-

merly, this title belonged to the 59-storey Tour Montparnasse in South Paris whose top floor is open to tourists. There are museums also for more modern taste. Centre Pompidou is a museum that looks exciting from the outside and is even better from the inside, named after the French ex-president Georges Pompidou that attempted to modernize Paris. In addition to permanent exhibitions, this autumn the museum will feature the exhibition of Gerhard Richter, the grand old man of art and special exhibitions from the works of Edward Munch and Henri Matisse.

The three permanent residents of Paris – art, literature and design – live side by side in the district of Marais that for centuries has housed both aristocrats and Jews. Today, Marais has tens of galleries that accept only the best artists or most promising future stars. For future Picassos and Monets, one of the most famous springboards to the art world is Galerie Perrotin on two floors.

Although it is tempting to label Chinese living in Marais as modern immigrants it is not the case because the Chinese community settled here during World War I when it was necessary to replace men who had been conscripted.

Speaking of modern architecture we should mention two buildings designed by Jean Nouvel, winner of the “Nobel Prize” of architecture: they are the Institute of Arab World that dates back to 1987 and Musée du quai Branly that was completed five years ago. The first is located on the left bank of the Seine, near Île Saint-Louis, the city’s second natural river island. Quadrangular blocks on the building’s SW side look at first like a typical

Arabian pattern, but a closer look reveals that they are hundreds of photosensitive panels that regulate entry of the light into the building.

Modern MQB took its place in the proximity of another architectural classic, the tower of Eiffel.

Considering the colonial past of France and the financing of culture in general, MQB is perhaps the best place to study the culture of world natives.

A trip to Paris would not be real if it were limited only to the town’s historic centre. I would recommend to go and walk around in Belleville, the historic housing area of the working classes and a residence for all walks of life. Since life in Belleville was very cheap, it attracted many artists who give the district its distinctive look. Edith Piaf who was born in Belleville spoke proudly of her local dialect that has been compared to London’s cockney.

Asian, African, Greek and Armenian food competes here with the French cuisine and prices are friendly not only for tourists, but even for students.

A great place to spend some time is Canal Saint Martin that connects Bassin de la Villette and River Seine. Sit in a waterfront cafe or have a baguette and a bottle of wine and watch Parisians in their daily life.

Those literally interested in underground should check out the Paris Catacombs. There are about 300 kilometres of them, with an entry in Montparnasse in Southern Paris. Like everywhere else in Paris, keep in mind that queues can be as long as in the ticket offices of our Estonian festivals. Only a small area of the Catacombs is open for public while members of the subculture known as Cataphiles move in ways that only they know.

They enter the system through air ducts and manholes to spend an underground picnic, watch a movie or attend a rave. Those interested in afterlife above ground should check out the cemetery of Père-Lachaise, the last resting place of the Estonian artist Eduard Wiiralt. People who crave greenery and gardening should head for the Javel district towards Parc Andre Citroen.

But enough of complex comparisons. Everyone understands that Paris is like a tough granny who defends her principles like a rock and criticises those who are less experienced, but still makes sure that nothing tastes better than her crepes.

And, like always, every visit creates new memories and new places to discover.

Traditional Estonian Industry

VKG diesel –

the future of Estonian motor fuels Estonia is one of the few countries in Europe and in the world in general that may enjoy energy independence – both in the electricity and liquid fuel sectors. It will be possible based on local oil shale and on smart economical decisions.

It is a well-known fact that production of electricity from oil shale has been covering all domestic needs in Estonia since the 1960-70s. But direct combustion of oil shale for power generation - especially when this is not accompanied by thermal energy production - is generally speaking a kind of waste of oil shale as a natural resource.

The understanding of this has become widespread only recently but AS Viru Keemia Grupp has been cultivating this sensible approach for decades.

A total of approximately 1 million tons of different liquid fuels are consumed in Estonia every year, with about 50% of that comprising imported diesel fuel. Currently Estonia imports about 90% of the total volume of all liquid fuels consumed. On the other hand - over 500,000 tons of shale oil is to be produced in Estonia during 2012, with more than half of that made by VKG. In accordance with the development plans of VKG and other oil producers the annual output of shale oil is to surpass 1 million tons within the next five years. Therefore, in 2016-2017 Estonia will be producing as high a volume of liquid fuels as is the volume of their consumption.

The shale oil currently being produced is suitable for use as low sulphur marine fuel in Emission Control Areas and in boiler houses, but unsuitable for modern car engines.

VKG in cooperation with the world’s leading upgrading technology suppliers have developed a technology for processing of Estonian oil shale into a high-quality diesel fuel with an extremely low sulphur content and compliance with the EURO V requirements. Such diesel fuel from oil shale has the same properties as conventional diesel fuels made from crude oil and is thus suitable for use in all modern diesel engines.

For the purpose of producing motor fuels, VKG will build the first shale oil refinery in the world in Kohtla-Järve from 2013-2016 with an throughput of 14,000 barrels per day.

On a global scale this will be a small plant but it will cover two-thirds of the domestic need for liquid fuels in Estonia, including diesel fuel.

A high-quality fuel made from a local raw material and consumed domestically is a environmentally-friendly and the most economically efficient solution for the country of Estonia. The only negative aspect is the coming motor fuel directive of the European Union that regulates the CO2 life-cycle. Its enforcement may force Estonia to export all domestically produced motor fuel and thus continue the importing of all fuel for consumption in Estonia. From environmental point of view it does not make sense at all in big picture – as lot of such regulations.

Lilli Jahilo,

Skandinaavia kooliga Eesti moelooja Eesti noor moedisainer Lilli Jahilo (29) liidab oma loomingus põhjamaise praktilisuse, kodumaise naiselikkuse ja kvaliteetse käsitöö.

V

äike, sale, alati musta rõivastatud, elegantne ja kiire jutuga Lilli Jahilo askeldab oma väikeses stuudios kiiresti ja kindlalt.

Teda nähes kerkib silme ette noor Coco Chanel: Lilligi kannab enda tehtud moe ka ise suurepäraselt välja.

Võib-olla on see tal geenides. Tema ateljees on üks suur lilla sein kaunistatud fotodega vanavanatädi Lilly Silbergist. See naiselik daam, kes Lilli loomingut inspireerib ja kelle järgi talle nimigi pandi, valiti 1931. aastal Eesti missiks ja hiljem töötas ta Pariisis mannekeenina.

Kauni eestlanna järeltulijast on tänaseks saanud üks Eesti tuntumaid noori moedisainereid, kelle looming on ka rahvusvaheliselt edukas. Fotodelt jälgib vanavanatädi pilk, kuidas valmivad Lilli Jahilo hooajakollektsioonid, tellitud õhtu-ja pruutkleidid, mantlid ja ülikonnad.

elas Lilli teismelisena mõne aasta Londonis, tema gümnaasiumi lõpetamise ja kõrgkooli astumise aegu resideerus pere aga Norras. See oligi põhjuseks, miks eesti neiu astus moe- ja kostüümidisaini õppima Oslo kunstide akadeemiasse ja sai seal bakalaureusekraadi.

Oslos põhines kunstiõpetus Norra traditsioonidel ja Lillile sobis see hästi. “Mulle on mitu korda öeldud, et Norra taust peegeldub ka mu loomingus,” nõustub Lilli. “Näiteks kasutan meelsasti trikotaaži ja villaseid kangaid, mida Norras õigusega au sees hoitakse. Samuti julgustati koolis olema iseseisvad ja kujundama oma kindel käekiri.”

Teisalt paistis tema looming juba koolis silma julge koloriidiga. “Mulle meeldis näiteks kasutada fuksiaroosat ja türkiissinist, mida norrakad väga ei kasutanud. Sellega ma kindlasti eristusin teistest.” Oma klientide pealt teab ta, et kui soomlased püsivad meelsasti musta-valge skaalal, siis norrakad eelistavad looduslikke toone. “Ma ei mäleta, et norra naised oleks väga kandnud roosat, mis on eesti naiste üks lemmikvärve” toob ta näite.

Lillile sobib skandinaavlannade praktiline meelelaad: “Õhtukleit peab olema elegantne ja ilus, aga seda peab olema ka mõnus kanda. Seetõttu ma ei

Käsitsi trükitud-tikitud kleidid said Eestis kohe nii kuulsaks, et neist võttiski tuule tiibadesse moebränd Lilli Jahilo. Brändi iseloomustatakse kui elegantset, naiselikku ja kvaliteetset disaini, mis ühendab endas minimalistliku põhjamaise esteetika, julge värvipaleti ja tipptasemel käsitöö.

Lilli on pidevalt lennus ja seda ka sõna otseses mõttes. Pilvede kohale tõuseb ta umbes korra kuus ja ikka tööga seoses. Tänavu jaanuaris oli temal ja ateljee juhatajal Tene Kippil eriti keeruline ülesanne – pakkida kogu oma sügistalvine kollektsioon kohvritesse, nii et kleidid kortsu ei läheks, ja transportida Berliini. Reisi põhjus oli aga uhke: Lillil oli esimese Eesti moedisainerina võimalus esitleda oma kollektsiooni kuulsa Berliini moenädala show'de põhiprogrammis. Tema nimi levis paari päevaga paljudesse Euroopa ja Aasia meediaväljaannetesse ning kollektsiooni naelaks saanud lendlev lilla kleit kaunistas Yahoo! “päeva fotot”.

Kuid noore disaineri rahvusvahelise tuntuse taga ei ole üksnes tema moelooming. Lilli Jahilo on tähelepanu kogunud ka loovettevõtjana. Nimelt on moebrändi Lilli Jahilo taga disaineri loodud ettevõte Ateljee Tallinn OÜ, mis saab veebruaris kolm aastat vanaks. Oma pesa leidis ettevõte Tallinnas Baltika kvartalis, just sellistele alustavatele noortele loovettevõtjatele loodud Loomeinkubaatoris. Seal 4. korruse väikeses ateljees töötab koos Lilliga neli naist, kellele lisaks kaasatakse kiiretel hooaegadel õmblejaid ja praktikante.

Lilli meenutab, et firma asutas ta siis, kui tundis, et tööd on nii palju, et magamistoas enam kleidiproove teha ei saa – vaja on ruume, abilisi ja arveldamise võimalust. Ettevõtte asutamine on Eestis ülimalt lihtne – internetis kulub selleks 15 minutit. Aga kuidas edasi? Värske ettevõtja kogus teadmisi Loomeinkubaatori ettevõtluse baaskoolitusel. Perfektsionistina nikerdas ta starditoetuse saamiseks vajalikku äriplaani ligi pool aastat, kuid nähtud vaev tegi talle selgeks mitmed moeäris tegutsemise saladused.

persoon Lilli pingutusi alustava loovettevõtjana kroonis möödunud aasta lõpus tõsine tunnustus, Swedish Business Awards'i 2011. aasta parima noorettevõtja tiitel. Lisaks tunnustusele said kolm võitjat, igast Balti riigist üks, auhinnaks ka imelise reisi Rootsi Kiruna lähistel asuvasse jäähotelli. “See oli ääretult inspireeriv kogemus,” meenutab ta. “Lennuk maandus keset tundrat, istusime edasi saanidele, mida vedasid koerterakendid, sõime põdraliha. Lume ja jää keskel oli väga eriline olla. Ja see jäähotell on püsti vaid tänu ühe mehe mõttevälgatusele, kes kasutas geniaalselt ära kohalikke olusid.”

Loovettevõtja väljakutsed Pärast auhinna pälvimist on Lillist saanud oodatud esineja mitmesugustel ettevõtluskonverentsidel. Üks niisugusi oli juulis Portugalis Portos korraldatud festival Euroopa kunstikõrgkoolide ja ülikoolide looverialade lõpetajatele NEU/NOW LIVE, kus Lilli oli üks neljast ettekandjast kultuurialal tegutsevate noorte ettevõtjate sessioonil.

“See oli silmiavav arutelu,” jutustab Lilli. “Teised ettevõtjad tegutsesid näiteks teatri ja muusikaproduktsiooni alal, aga kiiresti sai selgeks, et kuigi alad võivad olla erinevad, on kõigil loovettevõtjatel sarnased väljakutsed.”

Kui tavalise äriettevõtte eesmärgiks on aina kasvada ja suuremat kasumit teenida, siis loovettevõtjat motiveerivad teistsugused asjad. “Siin on ettevõtlus pigem vahend, mitte eesmärk omaette.

Eelkõige soovitakse pakkuda kvaliteeti ning väärtusi, mida maailm vajab. Tuleb nutikalt rakendada oma loominguline potentsiaal ja säilitada seejuures majanduslik jätkusuutlikkus. Tasakaalu hoidmine nende kahe osapoole vahel ongi vast kõige suurem väljakutse. Loovettevõtja ei tohi ettevõtlusega seotud asjaajamise käigus kaotada oma loomingulist indu, sest looming on lõpuks kogu selle tegevuse vundament ja tulevik.”

Ettevõtte loomisaegadega seotud asjaajamine ja sahmerdamine on ühel pool – firma on käima tõmmatud ning toimib. “Nüüd tunnen suuremat vajadust täpsustada loomingulisi sihte ja ambitsioone, tegeleda loomingulise kvaliteedi arendamisega.”

Ta mõtiskleb, kas mitte astuda doktoriõppesse ning seostada doktoritöös ettevõtlus, loovuse probleemid ning rõivatööstuse jätkusuutlikkus.

See võiks saada uueks isiklikuks väljakutseks.

persoon Disaintooted netipoodi?

Oma ateljee tulevikuväljavaadete üle arutledes leiab Lilli, et moemaailm on väga polariseerunud. Ühelt poolt võimsad kõrgmoeketid-konglomeraadid nagu Dior või Chanel, teiselt poolt odava massimoe pakkujad nagu H&M või Zara. “Mõlemal on võimu ja raha, et rentida suured poepinnad parimatel tänavatel. Tarbijana ongi sul kaks valikut, kas hästi odav või überkallis. Kui rändad Euroopas, siis kõigi linnade suurtel kaubandustänavatel on täpselt samad kaubamärgid. Et osta kohalikku disaini, selleks pead juba täpselt teadma, kuhu ostma minna. Kus positsioneerib end siin väike disainerbränd?” Üha enam tundub talle, et selleks pakub kõige parema võimaluse internet. Netimüügi tuleviku kohta räägitakse praegu ainult head. See on rõivamüügis üks väheseid tõusuteel kanaleid.

Esimese katsetusena pani Ateljee Tallinn kevadel, naistepäeva puhul neli kleidimudelit müüki Eesti noorte tegijate uude veebipoodi siison.ee.

Neist mudelitest kolm olid kesksuveks läbi müüdud. Oli näha, et esialgu uurisid kliendid toodet küll netis, aga enne ostu tulid ateljeesse selga proovima.

Netikaubandusel on muidugi oma piirang, sest rätsepa- ja individuaaltööd, millega ateljee peamiselt tegeleb, virtuaalselt teha ei saa. Netipoe tarbeks tuleb disainida veidi universaalsemad mudelid ja neid väikeses koguses tiražeerida. Küll aga on veeb oluline turunduskanal inimesteni jõudmiseks.

Lilli Jahilo tunnetab, et inimesed leiavad väikesed moebrändid järjest paremini üles netist. “Mul on vaikselt hakanud tekkima Skandinaavia klientuur. Ühtlasi on see ka hea võimalus norra keelt “soojas” hoida,” nendib ta rahulolevalt.

Kevadel katsetas Lilli Jahilo tavapärase catwalk'iesitluse asemel näitusega. Uus väljund andis uudse tulemuse – näitust vaatas palju rohkem inimesi kui mahub moeshow'le. “Mulle meeldib katsetada uute formaatidega, mis võimaldavad tutvustada oma loomingut laiemale publikule ja inimestele, kes tavapäraselt sellistel glämmidel seltskonna- ja moeüritustel ei käi,” räägib ta.

he is petite, slim and elegant, speaks fast, always wears black, and feels at home in her small fashion house. She resembles the young Coco Chanel: like Coco, Lilli is the best ambassador of her creations.

Perhaps it’s in her genes. One purple wall in her studio is adorned with photos of her great-grandaunt Lilly Silberg.

This extremely feminine lady who Lilli was named after is Lilli's true inspiration. She won the Miss Estonia beauty pageant in 1931 and later worked as a model in Paris.

A successor of this Estonian beauty, Lilli has become one of Estonia's best-known fashion designers whose creations are also internationally successful.

Her seasonal collections, tailor-made evening dresses and bridal gowns, coats and suits are made as her great-grandaunt watches on from the photos.

Norway's art education When Lilli was young, her family lived in different countries because her father worked as a diplomat. She lived a few years in London as a teen-

ager and then moved to Norway where she graduated from high school and enrolled to the Oslo Academy of Arts to study fashion and costume design.

Lilli found it especially suitable that the art education was based on Norwegian traditions. „People have told me that the Norwegian background is visible in my creations,” she admits. „I often use knitted and woollen fabrics that are very popular in Norway. But the school also taught me to be independent and to develop my own unique handwriting.”

The bold colours of her creations attracted attention already during her studies. „For instance, I liked to use magenta pink and turquoise blue that is fairly rare in Norway. This is what was setting me apart from others.”

She knows from her customers that while Finns like to stay in the black-and-white scale, Norwegians prefer natural colours. „I don’t remember seeing Norwegian women wearing pink, one of the favourite colours of women in Estonia,” she provides an example.

Lilli feels very much at home with the pragmatic thinking of Scandinavian women. „The evening gown must be elegant and beautiful, but it must also be comfortable to wear. Therefore, I don’t

person ised as elegant, feminine and quality design that combines Nordic minimalism with bold colours and top-quality craftsmanship.

Always on the move Lilli is, literally, always on the move. She boards an airplane approximately once a month for a business trip. In January she and fashion house manager Tene Kipp took on a real challenge: packing the whole autumn and winter collection in suitcases without the clothes getting wrinkled and transporting them to Berlin.

As the first Estonian fashion designer Lilli was given the opportunity to present her collection in the main show programme of the famous Berlin Fashion Week.

In a couple of days, her name was picked up by many European and Asian media outlets and her flowing purple dress was picked out by Yahoo! as a shot of the day.

make any girdled dresses that may look very feminine, but are very uncomfortable,” she says.

Norwegian art education also helped Lilli successfully complete her master’s studies at the Estonian Academy of Arts.

Her collection „Salut!”, by the way, won the grand prix at the Academy’s graduating fashion show.

In Estonia, her hand printed and embroidered dresses became famous overnight and kicked off Lilli Jahilo as a fashion brand. The brand is character-

But the international fame of the young designer is not only based on her fashions. Lilli has become well-known also for business creativity. Her company Ateljee Tallinn Ltd that owns Lilli Jahilo fashion brand and was set up three years ago is housed in the Baltika building in the Creative Incubator that supports young and promising creative entrepreneurs. It has a small fashion house located on the 4th floor, employs four women and in peak times hires temporary seamstresses and production assistants.

Lilli recalls that at one point she had so much work that it was no longer possible to fit dresses in her bedroom. So she realised it was time to set up a company, move to wider premises and hire more people.

It is extremely easy to incorporate a company in Estonia as online registration takes only about 15 minutes. Since business development is key, Lilli underwent basic business training at the Creative Incubator. As a perfectionist, she spent about half a year in preparing the business plan required for applying for a start-up grant. It was not in vain because it taught her the many secrets of the fashion business.

At the end of last year, Lilli’s efforts as a creative entrepreneur were well rewarded and she won the 2011 Best Young Entrepreneur Award of Swedish Business Awards.

Each of the three winners from every Baltic country also won a trip to the Ice Hotel near Kiruna in Sweden. „It was an amazing inspiration,” she recalls. „The airplane touched down in the middle of tundra. We were put on sleighs drawn by dogs and ate elk meat. It was a very special feeling to be in the middle of snow and ice. And the whole ice hotel was developed thanks to the crazy idea of one man on how to benefit from local conditions.”

Challenges for a creative entrepreneur After she won her award, Lilli was invited to speak at several business conferences.

One of such venues was NEU/NOW LIVE, a festival held in Porto, Portugal for graduates in creative sciences of European art colleges and universities. Lilli was one of the four speakers at the session of young entrepreneurs in the field of culture. „This was an eye-opening debate,” says Lilli. „Other entrepreneurs were theatre and music producers, but it soon became clear that despite the differences, all creative people face similar challenges.”

While regular businesses aim to grow and earn a bigger profit, creative entrepreneurs are motivated by other goals. „For us, business is more a means than an end. We want to offer the world the quality and values that it needs. We need to be smart in harnessing our creative potential while remaining economically sustainable. Balancing the two is perhaps

person the biggest challenge. Creators must make sure that they don’t lose their creative strive because, after all, creativity is the foundation and future of this activity.”

Lilli says that the early shuffle with the launch of the company is now over. „I feel an urge to clarify creative targets and ambitions, and to focus on developing creative quality.”

She is contemplating whether to start a doctoral study with a focus on entrepreneurship, problems with creativity and the sustainability of the fashion industry. This could be a new personal challenge.

person Lilli Jahilo’s travel tips Jukkasjärvi, Lapland. The Ice Hotel in Northern Sweden is well worth the visit. n

You can sleep in heated accommodation, but definitely don’t miss the dog sleigh ride.

Helsinki. The Design Capital 2012 cannot simply be missed. A day or two at our n

Northern neighbours' is a rapid and pleasant change. A few visits to museums and galleries plus lunch in the legendary Fazer Café should be on the itinerary at any time.

Oslo. Norway’s amazing nature and peaceful yet busy Oslo, forests filled with n

berries near the new jumping hill of Holmenkollen + Frognerseter’s apple pie with whipped cream and cocoa; The new Oslo Opera House and Aker Brügge’s harbour, a boat ride to Bygdøy museums + fresh shrimps sold on boats; Bohemian district Grünerløkka with its cafés, bars and stores + cappuccino. These are the sites I would definitely visit on a trip to Oslo.

Copenhagen. The venue for Scandinavia’s largest fashion week. A Bohemian and n open city whose stylish stores attract even those with no interest in home decoration.

Paris. A direct flight from Tallinn to Paris is the biggest treasure of Estonian Air's n destinations. Just imagine how quickly you can reach a city that is always inspiring and supportive and has the best fabrics anywhere. Without Paris it would be much more difficult for me to be in business.

Designer products in online store?

Speaking about the fashion world, Lilli says that it is extremely polarized. You have such powerful haute couture giants as Dior and Chanel on one side and giant retailers of cheap fashion such as H&M and Zara on the other. „Both have power and money for renting premium retail space in the best shopping streets. As a consumer, you can choose between very cheap or hugely expensive fashion. When you travel in Europe, you can find that there are exactly the same brands in most leading shopping streets. If you wish to buy local design, you need to know where to search for it. Where can a small designer brand position itself?”

She says that the Internet seems to be an answer. Online commerce is showing good growth and is one of the expanding sales channels in the clothing sector.

To test the market, Ateljee Tallinn auctioned four dress models right before the International Women’s Day at www.siison.ee, an online store of young active Estonians. By mid-summer, three out of four models were sold out. Most customers first checked out the products online, and before final purchase visited the fashion house to try them on.

Online commerce has its limitations, of course, because online you cannot tailor and fulfil individual orders, the bread and butter of any fashion studio. Also, you need to design more generic models for the online store and produce them in small

September 2012 in time

quantities. Internet is also an important marketing channel.

At present siison.ee is focusing its sales only on Estonia. However, there are customers also outside Estonia who check out the garment online and then contact the fashion house directly.

Lilli Jahilo believes that people who do not want to buy their clothes only from large stores are getting better in finding small fashion brands on the Internet. „My list of Scandinavian customers has been growing. This is also a great way to keep up my Norwegian language skills,” she laughs.

As good as Volvo cars Autumn is an extremely busy time for all fashion designers because this is when a new collection must be ready for presentation. This spring Lilli decided to take a risk and show her collection at an exhibition instead of a familiar catwalk.

The risk paid off: the exhibition attracted much more people than any fashion show can accommodate. „I like to experiment with new formats that enable to show my creations to a wider public and to people that normally don’t visit such glamorous social and fashion events,” she says.

The September fashion show for the autumn and winter line is being prepared in cooperation with Volvo that is also launching a new model. „I hope that Lilli Jahilo will become as successful in the world of dresses as Volvo is in the world of cars,” she says, smiling.

to conclude her Ph.D. dissertation within the next year.

“I chose Tartu, because I found out that my supervisor, Ülo Niinemets, is really famous in our field,” says Pazouki, a Ph.D. student at Estonian University of Life Sciences, “and our researches were closely connected.”

Academic freedom Pazouki is convinced her leap of faith has paid off. Yes, she didn't know much about Estonia before moving here and the climate might not be the best, but she has far more autonomy in her

research than her colleagues in better established universities.

“In many other universities doctoral students don't have the opportunity to pursue their own ideas. Instead, they assist their supervisors who have their own agenda,” Pazouki explains. “I, on the other hand, had an opportunity to set up a molecular biology lab on my own as there was no such lab at our department when I arrived.”

This is an experience nobody can ever take away, Pazouki is convinced. She explains that establishing a new lab and working in circumstances where you have to invent ways to do your

work is far more exciting and challenging than just being somebody else's research assistant.

“I have a lot of friends in my field working in well established and highly valued institutes in Europe. Sometimes I ask them for help on how to build up some of my experiments and they have no clue as in their labs there is staff to take care of such issues and they don't even have to think about it,” says Pazouki passionately, “whereas I can build up my experiments from scratch. Sometimes I make mistakes, but this is good as I can learn from them and have the experience forever.”

Another scholar promoting working and studying in Tartu is Honduran Marlon Dumas, professor of software engineering at the University of Tartu. Dumas is one of those 15 scholars working at the University of Tartu who are among the 1% of top quoted scientists in the world. According to Google Scholar his articles have been quoted more than 10 000 times. Dumas has supervised ten Ph.D. dissertations and is currently supervising four more.

64

Part of the reason why Dumas decided to move to Tartu some five years ago was personal – his wife is Estonian. But he was also drawn towards this town of only 100 000 habitants, because he saw that the University of Tartu could offer him more freedom than others.

“In many countries, universities are already very established, everything is already in its rightful place and professors are expected to just play their part,” Dumas says. “Once the organisation is ready, it is very difficult to change its patterns, it takes a lot of effort. Tartu has a completely different mentality – here people want to improve the systems they have, they realise the organisation should change and they are ready to take action.”

Besides that, Dumas finds it a big advantage that in Tartu the relationship between teachers and students is more personal and intimate. Students can just knock on professors' doors and ask for assistance or exchange ideas.

“In many other universities students need to ask for a meeting in a more formal way, talk to secretaries even. I really like it that in Tartu we have a culture that professors do not hide inside ivory towers,” Dumas says.

What about leisure time?

Besides a vivid academic life, Tartu offers many opportunities outside the library and university walls with numerous bars, museums and different festivals or other events happening all year round.

At the end of September 2012 Tartu hosts the annual Researchers' Night Science Festival, a week full of events promoting research and science, organised by AHHAA Science Centre. This year the event involves an international festival of science theatres at AHHAA Science Centre, where about ten groups from different countries present their science theatre shows. The week concludes with Researchers' Night, a whole night full of activities in different places in Estonia that will also be broadcast on ETV, Estonian National Television. A big part of the action will take place in AHHAA Science Centre that is open all night, and other museums and universities in Tartu.

Besides Tartu, more than 10 towns in Estonia are involved in the project (www.ahhaa.ee).

Tartu – a city of good higher education Tartu offers different opportunities for higher education, among others the Estonian n Aviation Academy and Baltic Defence College are situated there. Two of the biggest and best known institutions are the University of Tartu and Estonian University of Life Sciences.

University of Tartu is the oldest Estonian university, established in 1632 by Swedish n

king Gustav II Adolf. It is the only Estonian university that is among top 3% of universities in the world. It belongs to the 1% of world's most-cited universities and research institutions in nine research fields (clinical medicine, chemistry, environment/ecology, plant and animal science, geosciences, social sciences (general), biology and biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, engineering). The university has nine faculties and important contributions to research work are also carried out by its four regional colleges, The Estonian Genome Centre and the University of Tartu Library.

Estonian University of Life Sciences is the only university in Estonia whose priorin ties in academic and research activities provide sustainable development of natural resources necessary for the existence of man as well as the preservation of heritage and habitat. Currently, teaching and research is carried out in five institutes.

Estonia Tartu is an ideal place for scientific conferences Kadri Karu, Managing Director of Estonian Convention Bureau I must admit, Tartu is an ideal place for holding scientific conferences – up to 400 conferences take place in Tartu annually, up to 100 of them are bigger international events. For a town of such a small size this is quite an impressive number.

It is actually difficult to know the precise number of conferences held in Tartu, as many of them are very specific and targeted only to a very narrow group of scientists, so that non-specialists might even have difficulties pronouncing their title. Tartu is home for many scientists who participate in international networks and invite their colleagues from other countries to a conference in Tartu.

Tartu has a very special aura and a scientific/academic atmosphere. It is a real conference town with a true campus feeling. There are so many students around, it has a good infrastructure of hotels and venues, everything is within a walking distance, plus there are many interesting sights, parks and a nice riverside scenery.

We strongly encourage people to organise conferences in Tartu, more so as Enterprise Estonia has introduced a scheme to financially support the organisation of international conferences. This is a clear message that scientific conferences are important and encouraged in Estonia.

includes the university’s Art Museum and Natural History Museum. All three cooperate closely with one another (www.ajaloomuuseum.ut.ee).

Tartu offers many cosy bars, cafés and restaurants for different tastes. Big part of the action takes place in town hall square (Raekoja plats) and surrounding streets, as most of the popular bars and restaurants are located in that area. Those who like wine, should definitely visit Vein ja Vine; the best burgers in town can probably be found at Kolme Ahvi Pubi (Three Apes’ Pub) and in the early hours when all the other bars are closed, be sure to drop by Zavood, one of the most (in)famous bars in Estonia.

Bare Neikid Neikid

Wismari 3, Tallinn, Eesti 10136 Tel: +372 660 4581 resto@neikid.ee www.neikid.ee On Board of Estonian Air in September and October

In every city there are restaurants that don't

push themselves upon the world. Off the beaten tourist path, they don't flaunt famous chefs or hundred years of history. Established by true enthusiasts who want to share their favourite dishes they take risks, experiment with new ideas and expand the boundaries of local food culture while providing a quiet, relaxed corner of the world for local diners.

There's such a place born out of love

for Mediterranean cuisine in Tallinn. After travelling and living in Spain for years, the owners Jakob Saks and Kadi Parel couldn't live without the food and culture they both loved so much and decided to bring a little bit of the magic back home. Friends and family came to help, restaurant space was found and decorated by young Estonian artists and Neikid was born. A playful name, it symbolizes a direct, immediate taste experience, comfortable and challenging at the same time. Dishes feature Mediterranean ideas married to local ingredients in a unique Estonian-Scandinavian way.

Visually beautiful, they build layers upon layers of complementing tastes, familiar and surprising

elements combined eloquently. Complementing the food are many wines to choose from, but even more importantly a good selection of microbrew beers, something you can't see too often in a restaurant. If unsure, just ask your waiter for an advice about which beer or wine best goes with your food, they always find something you'll like.

It's not all about the dining either. Daily lunch menu offers three courses for less than 10 euro, perfect for business lunch or a quick meeting.

Everything is prepared fresh and there is a new menu every day, following seasons and availability of local produce. Bread is handmade with flour coming from the only operating Dutch style windmill in Estonia and baked on premises by Kadi's aunt Asta.

The best thing about Neikid though is how well everything fits together. Going there is how going to the restaurant should always feel like, a unique experience made possible by people who really love what they're doing. Come as you are, bring your family, kids and dog. Open your mind to new experiences and take some time off to relax, that's all you need.

Põnevad tellimused tähendavad enamasti ideaalse kesktee leidmist tellija soovide, ettekirjutuste ja iseenda ideede vahel.

Tiina toob välja ka väga praktilise põhjuse vormirõiva kaitseks – tänu riietele oskame toidupoes õigelt inimeselt suhkru hinda pärida või restoranis just kelneri käest arvet küsida.

Ning püüdke arste ette kujutada punastes või kollastes kitlites!

Oma vormirõiva-elamustest mäletab Tiina kergetes lillelistes kleitides Singapore Airlines`i stjuardesse, malbelt naeratamas kui taevainglid.

Koolivormi meenutades tuleb Tiinal silme ette oodatud vabadus, mil võis hommikul selga panna seda, mida ise heaks arvas. Kuid praegu on ta siiski koolivormi poolt, vähemalt nooremates klassides, uskudes, et see loob kõigile võrdsed tingimused.

Tiina Talumees Uniforms for Estonian Air, Nordea Bank, Seaplane Harbour and SEB Baltic by Profline Regarding professional clothing one of the most creative projects of Tiina Talumees was one several years ago when she designed costumes for the Maikrahv Restaurant in Tallinn. Exciting projects usually mean finding an ideal balance between the customer’s wishes, regulations and one’s creative ideas.

Tiina says that she is a big fan of professional clothing because it helps us to find the right person if we want to ask something in a store or need a bill at a restaurant. Or can you imagine medical doctors wearing red or yellow coats?

Speaking of her own experience with uniforms, Tiina recalls the Singapore Girl – the cabin crew of Singapore Airlines in their famous uniform, smiling like angels.

Recalling her school years, Tiina still remembers the time when she was finally free to wear anything she wanted to school. Yet she is still a staunch supporter of school uniform, at least in younger ages, as it helps to create equal conditions for everyone.

Kõik algab kanga valikust, see peab olema kergesti hooldatav. Edasi tuleb veel terve rida piiranguid – kuid nutika disaineri jaoks tähendab see eelkõige läbimõeldud lahenduste pakkumist. Disainimöll jäägu siin kõrvale.

Vaagides enda ja vormirõiva suhet, tunnistab Jaana, et ei olnud kõige eesrindlikum koolivormi kandja ja lisab vabandavalt, et peapõhjus oli tüdimus neist ühetoonilistest riietest.

Jaana Varkki, designer at VARKKI Uniforms for LHV Bank and Estonian staff at Shanghai EXPO. In cooperation with Monton, parade uniforms for Team Estonia in the Athens Olympics Jaana Varkki knows how to enjoy the limited play with professional clothing. Everything starts from the choice of fabrics as it must be maintained easily. Then there is a whole number of other limitations which require smart solutions and leave no place for daring designs.

Speaking of her attitude towards uniforms, Jaana admits that she was not a model student when wearing a school uniform, adding apologetically that the main reason was that she was tired of unimaginative clothing.

mood / fashion Mari Martin, Tallinn Dollsi loovjuht Absolut Vodka ja Vana Tallinna promorõivad, Teletorni ja LHV panga vormirõivad Lennates meeldib Marile jälgida teenindajate kostüüme – igavus on sundinud pähe õppima stjuardesside pintsakute pisimadki detailid. Kusjuures Mari jaoks töötab kostüüm kõige paremini siis, kui sel on väikesed kiiksud, mis jäävad kummitama ka pärast lennukist lahkumist.

Mari tajub vormiriideid kui investeeringut, mis võib muuta nii kliendi ja teenindaja suhet kui ka teenindaja nõudlikkust iseenda suhtes. Kandes teatud rõivastust, vastutad sa korraga kogu firma, mitte vaid iseenda ees.

Kuigi koolivormi kandmisest on Mari pääsenud, siis minevikust on tal tuua siiski üsna eriskummaline näide tööpõlvest teenindajana keskaja restoranis Olde Hansa: „Neid rüüsid selga pannes olin automaatselt kehastunud uude rolli.“

Mari Martin, creative director of Tallinn Dolls Promotional clothing of Absolut Vodka and Vana Tallinn, uniforms of TV Tower and LHV Bank When flying, Mari likes to study the uniforms of cabin crew. She has learned to memorize even the smallest details of professional clothing. For her, the costume is functional when some of its elements make you recall it also after touching the ground.

Mari sees uniforms as a business investment that can change the relationship between the customer and the employee and also employee standards. When wearing certain clothes, you are responsible for the whole company and not only for yourself.

Although Mari never had to wear a school uniform herself, she recalls the time when she was working as a waitress in the famous medieval restaurant Olde Hansa in Tallinn: „Once you donned these historic costumes you automatically had a new role.“

Britt Samoson Restorani Clazz vormirõivad Kontseptuaalselt lähenev disainer Britt Samoson jaotab rõivad ühtlustavateks ja eristavateks. See on väga oluline semiootiline ülesanne, mis aitab meil näiteks oma auto juures hiiliva murdvarga ning parkimiskontrolöri vahel vahet teha.

Britt usub, et rõiva tegumood mõjutab kandjat: „On suur vahe, kas riietan end liibuvasse pükskostüümi või voogavasse tüllseelikusse. Ühes tunnen end tegusa ning asjalikuna, teises unistava ning naiselikuna.“ Koolivormi kogemusest on Britt peaaegu pääsenud: „Kandsin seda vaid teises või kolmandas klassis.“ Ka tema on praegu pigem koolivormi poolt. Aga mõistes, et tervet komplekti ei saa enamik perekondi endale lubada, tundub mõistliku lahendusena koolilogoga vesti või sviitri kandmine.

Britt Samosoni ägedad kostüümikavandid restoranile Clazz Daring uniforms sketched by Britt Samoson for Restaurant Clazz

Britt Samoson Uniforms for Restaurant Clazz Designer Britt Samoson takes a conceptual approach and divides clothing depending on whether it is distinctive or not. Clothing has an important semiotic task: it allows us to tell a car thief from a parking maid, for instance.

Britt believes that our outfit influences us: „There’s a big difference if I put on a tight pant suit or a billowing tulle gown. The first makes me feel active and practical, while the other makes me dreamy and feminine.“ Britt almost escaped the school uniform dilemma. „I wore it only in the second or third grade.” She, too, supports the idea of having a school uniform, but since most families cannot buy to supply the whole uniform, a vest or sweater with a school logo may be enough.

mood / fashion Kaire Kivari, Monton Eesti olümpiakoondise vormiriided Montoni ja Eesti olümpiatiimi koostöö ulatub kaheksa aasta taha – esimesed rõivad loodi 2004. aasta Ateena mängudeks.

Disainer Kaire Kivari loodud Eesti delegatsiooni Londoni olümpiamängude paraadvorm on inspireeritud Kihnu rahvamustrist ja retrospordist.

Kõige meeldejäävamast vormirõiva kogemusest meenuvad Kairele tänaseks lõpetanud USA lennufirma Hooters Air eriskummalised stjuardessid mikropükstes ja avaralõikelistes maikades.

Kuigi õpilasena tervitas Kaire muudatust, kui õpilased vabastati koolivormist, on ta nüüd kindel koolivormi pooldaja: „Ei ole vaja riiklikku koolivormi, piisab, kui igal koolil on oma vormirõivas.“ Montoni kollektsioon Vancouveri olümpiamängudeks / Collection of Monton for the Vancouver Olympic Games

Kaire Kivari, Monton. Estonian Olympic team uniforms The cooperation between Monton and the Estonian Olympic team started eight years ago: the first uniforms were designed for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.

The parade uniform that Kaire Kivari designed for the Estonian Olympic team in London 2012 was inspired by Kihnu national patterns and sports themes.

Kaire’s most peculiar experience in the segment of uniforms dates back to the nowdefunct US airline Hooters Air in which the cabin crew wore microscopic pants and revealing T-shirts.

Though as a schoolgirl, she welcomed the time when school uniforms were scrapped, she now strongly favours uniforms at school: „But there’s no need for a national school uniform. Every school should have its own.”

Fantastiline ekraan Uus kolmanda põlvkonna iPad on fann tastilise Retina ekraaniga ja võis loota, et peagi näeme väga hea kvaliteediga ekraane veelgi. Nüüd ongi Apple teinud uue MacBook Pro Retina ekraaniga ehk 16:10 kuvasuhtega 15,4-tollise laiekraani, mis mahutab lausa 2880x1800 pikslit. Kõik ekraanil toimuv näeb välja terav ja loomulik. Kuuldavasti keelduvad need, kes sellist ekraani kasutanud, vanade ekraanide juurde tagasi minemast.

Võimas on uue MacBook Pro juures muugi: protsessorivalik algab 3. põlvkonna Intel Core i7 protsessorist, mälu on 8 GB ja graafikakaardiks on Nvidia GeForce GT 650M 1 GB graafikamäluga. Kiire SSDketas mahutab kuni 768 GB andmeid ning ühenduste valik on esinduslik: HDMI, Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, N-WiFi, lisaks FaceTime HD-kaamera. Kõik see on pakitud stiilsesse alumiinimist korpusesse, mille paksus on 1,8 cm ja kaal vaid 2 kilogrammi! Uue MacBook Pro hinnad algavad 2300 eurost.

Muidu on tegemist standardse keskklassi Androidiga, millel on kahetuumaline 1 GHz A9 protsessor, 3,5-tolline (320x480) ekraan, 5 MP LED-välguga kaamera, 8 GB sisemälu ja juures umbes 300-eurone hinnalipik.

Sel puhul toob Microsoft välja oma tahvelarvutisarja Surface, mis peaks olema ülikerge ja väga vastupidav, kuna on valmistatud Vapor MG metallist. Lahjem versioon tuleb sügisel Tegra 3 protsessori ja Windows 8 RT-ga, võimsam talvel Intel i5 protsessori ja Windows 8 Pro'ga. Eriliseks teevad Surface'i sarja pilkupüüdvad erivärvilised magnetsulguriga ekraanikatted, mis suletuna kaitsevad ekraani, avatuna aga toimivad kahes versioonis klaviatuurina, kas puutetundlike nuppudega (3 mm) või füüsiliste nuppudega (5 mm).

Attractive tablet PCs This autumn Microsoft will unveil its n new operating system Windows 8 that is developed specifically for tablet PCs. To celebrate it, Microsoft will launch its tablet PC series Surface that thanks to VaporMg casing is extra light and durable. An entrylevel model to be launched in the autumn will have a Tegra 3 processor and Windows 8 RT, while the more powerful model due in winter will have an Intel i5 processor and Windows 8 Pro. Surface is unique thanks to its attractively coloured magnetic display covers that protect the screen when closed and double up as keyboard when opened, available either as 3 mm touch-sensitive keys or 5 mm mechanical keys.

Fantastic display n The new iPad 3 came with a fantastic Retina display and we all hoped to see more of these high-quality displays. Apple has now launched a new MacBook Pro with Retina display that comes with 15.4” 16:10 widescreen display with as much as 2880x1800 pixels. Everything on screen now looks sharp and natural. It is said that people who try the Retina refuse to go back to former displays. There are also other features that make MacBook Pro special: choice of processors starts with the 3rd generation Intel Core i7, with 8 GB of memory and Nvidia GeForce GT 650M graphics card with 1 GB memory.

Kas raamat “50 halli tooni” tõstab Audi müüki?

Lotus ehitab Renault Alpine

Saksa luksusautotootja Audi on osav n

Alpine, ka on võimalik, et ettevõte asub tööle uue Infiniti Emerg-E-ga.

Infiniti pole veel kinnitanud, et jätkatakse uue Lotus Evora 414E kontsepti põhjal loodud superauto arendamist. Ettevõtte disainijuht Shiro Nakamura on vihjanud, et tõenäoliselt jätkatakse koostööd brittidega, kuna nemad on kõige rohkem prototüübiga vaeva näinud.

Samal ajal teatas Renault’ turundusjuht Steve Norman, et uus Alpine on keskmootoriga ja projekt vajab rohkem, kui RenaultNissan Alliance’il pakkuda on.

Mõlemad mudelid on ehitatud Evora platformile. Mudelit Emerg-E arendatakse praegu kui toimivat prototüüpi ning Evora baasil ehitatud autos on kasutusel 414E ülekandesüsteem. Sama põhi ja süsteem peaksid sobima ka Alpine’ile, kui arvestada tagamootoriliste A 110 ja GTA mudelite ajalugu.

Mõlemat autot toodetaks väikestes kogustes. Prantslased loodavad aastas toota paar tuhat autot.

Kõrgtehnoloogiline Renault Alpine keskmootoriga roheline sportauto saab ilmselt valmis 2014. aasta Pariisi autonäituseks ja jõuab turule 2015. aastal

oma tooteid filmides näitama, unustamatud on uued kontseptautod filmides “I, Robot” (“Mina, Robot”) ja “Iron Man” (“Raudmees”).

Väga populaarses raamatusarjas “50 Shades of Grey” (“50 halli tooni”) on mainitud mitut Audi mudelit: väike A3, R8 Spyder superauto ja suur Q7 linnamaastur.

Advertising Age’i sõnul on raamatusse sattumine tõstnud Saksa tootja automüüki.

Sakslased kinnitavad, et raamatus mainimise eest ei maksnud nad autorile midagi.

Ka “50 Shades of Grey” kirjastaja Random House kinnitab, et mingeid tehinguid tehtud pole ja autor E. L. James pole Audi-huviline.

Is Audi starring in 50 Shades Of Grey books to boost sales?

German luxury brand Audi is no n stranger to the practice of product placement, with production models and concepts making memorable appearances in films like I, Robot and Iron Man. The hugely popular erotic book series 50 Shades of Grey sees starring print appearances of a handful of Audi models, with mentions of the small A3, the R8 Spyder supercar and the big Q7 SUV. According to Advertising Age, the appearance has convinced Audi that the books have contributed to its growing sales – but the carmaker says it didn't pay a single penny for the mention.

A representative of Random House, publisher of 50 Shades of Grey, said that no deal was made, and author E. L. James does not have any special love for Audi cars.

Lotus ehitab Renault’le uue superauto n

Lotus will build Renault Alpine Lotus builds a production version of n the Lotus Evora 414E-derived Emerg-E concept, which Renault also uses as a base for production.

The new Renault Alpine and a production version of the widely acclaimed Infiniti Emerg-E supercar concept could be built for the two companies by Lotus.

Infiniti has yet to confirm that it will go ahead with the supercar, which in proto-

type form is based on the Lotus Evora 414E concept, but design chief Shiro Nakamura has suggested that it “could be built in Britain”, adding it would make sense given that the concept has mostly been developed in the UK. Meanwhile, Renault marketing boss Steve Norman has confirmed that a new Alpine would be mid or rear-engined. He has previously said the project “probably needs more than the Renault-Nissan Alliance on its own”.

Basing both models on the Evora platform would make sense. The Emerg-E is currently being developed as a running prototype using the Evora platform and Lotus’s experimental 414E range-extender drivetrain. The same layout would suit an Alpine Renault, given its history of rear-engined models such as the A110 and the GTA. Both cars would be relatively low volume.

The French brand reckons an annual sale of just a few thousand.

High-tech range-extender Renault Alpine mid-engined green sports car will be ready for reveal at the Paris Motor Show 2014 and for market launch in 2015.

Audi R8 saab digitaalse tahavaatepeegli Traditsioonilise klaaspeegli asemele n saab uus Audi R8 e-tron superauto 7,7-tollise Samsungi AMOLED ekraani, mis näitab juhile auto taga toimuvat.

Digitaalne peegel edastab väga selgeid pilte ja peaks Audi R8 e-troni varustuses väiketootmisesse jõudma aasta lõpuks.

Mainitud mudelil nagu ka Le Mans’i viimasel võitjal pole tagaakent ja seetõttu ei saa sinna panna tavapärast tahavaatepeeglit.

Kõrgtehnoloogiline digipeegel koosneb kaamera-monitori süsteemist.

Vaid paarimillimeetrise diameetriga läätse vaateväli on laiem kui tavalisel peeglil, suurendades juhi nägemisvälja. 7,7-tolline monitor pakub muidki võimalusi.

line. AMOLED tahavaatepeegel tumeneb hämaras automaatselt, et autojuhti vähem pimestada. Juht saab selle funktsiooni vajadusel välja lülitada.

Audi töötab sellegi nimel, et tulevikus ekraanil rohkem infot näidata.

Audi's R8 will have digital rear-view mirror Instead of a conventional reflective n version, the Audi R8 e-tron supercar will use a Samsung 7.7-inch AMOLED display, which will show the driver what is behind the vehicle.

The digital rear-view mirror delivers brilliant images and is due to enter small-scale production in the Audi R8 e-tron at the end of this year. This model – like the current Le Mans winners – has no rear window and hence no conventional rear-view mirror. Its high-tech successor is the digital rear-view mirror – a camera/monitor system.

The tiny lens, with a diameter of just a few millimetres, covers a wider field of vision than a conventional rear-view mirror, so increasing the viewpoint. Plus, the 7.7-inch screen has plenty more real estate to play with.

AMOLED technology has been chosen because it runs on low amounts of poweressential for an electric car. The AMOLED rear-view mirror helps automatically reduce headlights glare during the hours of darkness, while also allowing drivers to dim or turn it off altogether.

Audi said that it is looking into introducing more information to the display in the future.

Kõik sõiduki rattad pööravad, mis tähendab, et auto suudab ennast kohapeal ringi pöörata ja külgepidi liikuda. Seega on paralleelparkimine lihtsam.

Paar Hiriko Foldi mudelit on juba Euroopa linnades testimisel. Usutakse, et auto saab populaarseks sellistes linnades nagu Berliin, San Francisco ja Barcelona.

MIT’s tiny foldable electric car will retail for 12 500 euros Researchers from MIT’s Changing n Places group and DENOKINN have developed a convenient and eco-friendly car to commute around the city. The Hiriko Fold is an ultra-compact vehicle that can fold upright to fit into tight parking spaces.

Now it’s been confirmed that the electric car is expected to go on sale in 2013 for around 12 500 euros.

The pod-like electric vehicle, whose battery pack would be leased, is a two-seater with 4-wheel drive and a range in excess of 100 kilometres. Because its wheelbase can collapse, a single parking space can accommodate three vehicles. Driver and passenger enter through a windshield that swings upward. The vehicle would also be equipped with zero-turn radius wheels that allow it to move sideways, making parallel parking a less frustrating manoeuvre.

Some of the Hiriko Fold models are on trial in European cities for testing, and the group believes that the compact car would be popular in cities like Berlin, San Francisco, and Barcelona.

Kes jättis Hispaania koopasse käejäljed?

Vanimad Hispaania koopamaalingud on n tehtud kuni 40 000 aastat tagasi, kinnitavad uue uurimuse teinud teadlased. Samas on kerkinud küsimus, kas maalingute autorid olid tänapäevased inimesed või hoopis neandertallased.

Briti teadlased analüüsisid uue meetodiga pooltsada maalingut üheteistkümnes Hispaania koopas ning väidavad, et need on tuhandeid aastaid vanemad, kui seni arvatud. Kõige vanem, lihtne punase värviga tehtud sõõr El Castillo koopas on vähemalt 40 800 aasta vanune, kirjutavad teadlased ajakirjas Science.

Koopa seintel olevaid käejälgi peavad teadlased Euroopa vanimateks kunstiteosteks. “Tõenäoliselt tehti need nii, et käsi asetati koopa seinale ja puhuti selle peale pigmenti,” selgitavad uurijad, hinnates käejälgede vanuseks 37 000 aastat, mis lubab spekuleerida teemal, kelle käte jäljed need ikkagi on.

“Tõendeid Põhja-Hispaania asustamisest tänapäevaste inimestega on kuni 41 500 aasta tagant. Enne neid olid siin neandertallased,” kinnitas uurimuse põhiautor Alistair Pike Bristoli ülikoolist. “Meie tulemused näitavad, et tänapäevased inimesed kas saabusid nii, et maalikunst oli osa nende kultuuripagasist, või tekkis see õige varsti pärast saabumist. Võib-olla on tegu hoopis neandertallaste kunstiga.”

“Kui käejäljed kuuluvad neandertallastele, oleks see suurepärane avastus, kuid selgusele jõudmiseks peame määrama rohkemate proovide vanuse,” ütles Pike.

Täpsemad andmed annavad ülevaate sellestki, kuidas joonistused aja jooksul arenesid. “Esimestel joonistustel veel loomi ei kujutata,” märkis uurimuse kaasautor Paul Pettitt Sheffieldi ülikoolist. Kõige vanemad

joonistused on lihtsad punase värviga tehtud käejäljed, täpid, sõõrid ja jooned.

Keerukamad kujutised ja joonistamisviisid tekkisid hiljem.

Seda on hästi näha kuulsas Altamira koopas, mille vanim joonistus on lihtne nuiakujutis, mis maaliti sinna umbes 35 600 aastat tagasi. Järgneva 20 000 aasta jooksul joonistati koopasse aina uusi ja keerukamaid figuure ning stseene.

Seni peeti vanimaks Prantsusmaal Chauvet’ koobastes olevaid maalinguid, mis nüüd osutusid kõige vanematest Hispaania omadest viis kuni kümme tuhat aastat nooremaks.

Joonistuste vanuse määramist on seni takistanud asjaolu, et tihti kasutati nende tegemiseks mitteorgaanilisi aineid, näiteks värvimuldasid. Orgaaniliste ainete nagu puusüsi puhul on võimalik radiosüsiniku ja teiste isotoopide määramis-meetodite abil vanust tuvastada, kuid mitteorgaanilise aine puhul ei anna aine enda vanus mingit aimu sellest, millal seda maalimiseks kasutati.

Pike ja Pettitt uurisid seetõttu lubjasoolade sadestusi, tillukesi stalaktiite, mis aja jooksul joonistuste peale olid tekkinud. Neis sadestustes uraani ja tooriumi isotoopide vahekorda jälgides on võimalik kindlaks teha aine tekkimise aeg ja selle järgi hinnata, kui vanad koopamaalingud on.

Whose are the handprints in Spanish caves?

The oldest Spanish cave paintings n date back 40,000 years, a recent dating confirms. This raises a question – do they belong to modern humans or neandterthals?

British scientists used a new method to analyse 50 paintings in 11 Spanish caves and found them to be thousands of years

older than previously thought. The oldest one, a simple red circle in the El Castillo cave, is at least 40,800 years old, the researchers write in Science.

Handprints from the same cave are Europe’s oldest known works of art, the researchers claim. “They were probably made by laying the hand on the cave wall and blowing paint onto it,” the researchers say. Those prints are about 37,000 years old which allows speculations about who actually made them.

“Evidence of modern humans in Northern Spain dates back to 41,500 years ago, before them were the Neanderthals,” says the main author of the study Alistair Pike from the University of Bristol. “Our results show that the modern humans either arrived with painting being already a part of their cultural activity or it developed very shortly after it, perhaps in response to competition with Neanderthals, or perhaps the art is Neanderthal art.”

“It would be a fantastic find if the hand stencils on the walls of the caves were outlines of Neanderthal hands, but we need to date more examples to see if this is the case,” he adds.

More exact datings allow to follow the development of cave art over time. “The earliest images do not represent animals,” says co-author Paul Pettitt from Sheffield University. The oldest paintings are simple handmarks, dots, circles and lines. More complex figures and drawing techniques evolved later. This can be observed in the famous Altamira cave where the oldest work of art, a simple club-shaped symbol was found to be at least 35,600 years old.

The cave was then revisited and painted a number of times over a period spanning over 20,000 years.

Until now, the paintings in the Chauvet' cave in France were considered to be the oldest. According to the new dating they are 5,000-10,000 years younger than the oldest Spanish paintings.

The dating of cave art is complicated because often non-organic substances, such as coloured rock were used to make them. Radiocarbon and other similar methods can be used for dating only when organic matter, such as charcoal has been used, but in case of non-organic matter the age of the substance gives us little clue about when exactly it was used to make cave art.

This is why Pike and Pettitt measured uranium isotopes in the thin calcite flowstone growths that have formed on the surfaces of the paintings. Dating of these tiny stalactites allows to assess the time when paintings underneath them were made.

Rotist tehti meduus Meduusi pea täiuslik koopia, kokku n pandud silikoonist ja roti südamerakkudest, näeb välja nagu meduus ja liigub nagu meduus.

California tehnoloogiainstituudi teadlased ja insenerid valmistasid tehismeduusi selleks, et aru saada lihaspumpade töö põhimõttest. Meduus, kes liigub läbi vee lihaste kokkutõmmete jõul, sarnaneb üllatavalt inimsüdamega, mis pumpab verd kehas ringi.

“Meduusid kujutavad endast ainulaadset võimalust katsetada funktsioneeriva koe tehislikku järeletegemist,” kirjutasid teadlased ajakirjas Nature Biotechnology.

Tehismeduusi valmistamiseks uurisid teadlased esmalt, kuidas päris meduusi kehas lihased jaotuvad. Seejärel ehitasid nad läbipaistvatest silikoonlehtedest tehismeduusi keha, mis näeb välja nagu kaheksa kroonlehega õis. Selle peale ehitasid nad valkudest šablooni, mille peale panid kasvama roti südamerakud. Mõne päevaga kasvasid rakud soovitud kujusse.

Kui tehismeduus akvaariumisse pandi ning lihastele elektriimpulsse anti, ujus ta hämmastavalt sarnaselt päris meduusiga.

Lisaks tekitas tehismeduus täpselt samasugust vee liikumist, nagu pärismeduus kasutab toidu saamiseks.

“Mind üllatas, kui nappide vahenditega suutsime järele teha bioloogiliste meduuside keerukaid ujumis- ja toitumisliigutusi,” rääkis uurimust juhendanud Caltechi professor John Dabiri.

Institute of Technology created the artificial jellyfish in order to understand the way muscular pumps work. A jellyfish who moves through the water with the help of muscle contractions is remarkably similar to the human heart which pumps blood through our body.

“Jellyfish present a unique test case for mimicking functional tissue,” the researchers write in Nature Biotechnology.

To make the artificial jellyfish, researchers first mapped the muscles of a living jellyfish. They made the body of the artificial jellyfish from transparent silicone polymer and shaped it like a blossom with eight petals. Onto the silicone, they built a structure of proteins and placed rat heart cells on it.

In a few days the muscle cells grew in the desired shape.

When placed in a tank and shocked with electricity, it produced swimming movements remarkably similar to those of a real jellyfish. In addition, it created the same kind of water movement that a real jellyfish uses for eating.

“I was surprised that we were able to reproduce a pretty complex swimming and feeding behaviour with relatively few components,” says Caltech Professor John Dabiri who supervised the study.

Electronic products hide a goldmine AIf you search for gold or silver, old n electronic devices are much more profitable mining grounds than any mineral deposit. Yet the resource remains largely unused, experts say.

The electronic industry annually consumes 320 tons of gold and 7200 tons of silver but only 10-15 per cent of that is later recovered by recycling. The same goes for other rare elements that the modern technology cannot do without.

“More sustainable consumption patterns and material recycling are essential if consumers want to continue to enjoy high-tech devices that support everything from modern communications to smart transport, intelligent buildings and more,” says Luis Neves, chairman of Global e-Sustainability Initiative.

Altogether some 85 per cent of gold gets lost in the dismantling process. According to experts, this could be significantly more efficient, helping us to save nature and millions of euros. Also much more plastic could be recycled, concludes the recent first ever global meeting about e-waste.

Vanadest elektroonikaseadmetest on n kulda ja hõbedat kaevandada märksa tulusam kui maardlast. Ometi on ressurss asjatundjate sõnul praegu kasutamata.

Elektroonikatööstus tarbib aastas 320 tonni kulda ja 7500 tonni hõbedat, kuid taaskasutuse abil jõuab sellest uuesti ringlusse vaid kümnendik, tõdevad eksperdid. Rääkimata teistest haruldastest metallidest, milleta tänapäeva elektroonikaseadmed enam hakkama ei saa.

“Kestlikum tarbimine ja materjalide taaskasutus on olulised, kui tarbijad soovivad ka tulevikus nautida kõrgtehnoloogilisi seadmed, millel tugineb kõik, alates tänapäevasest kommunikatsioonist kuni nutikate transpordilahenduste ja tarkade majadeni,” ütles Luis Neves, kes on e-lahendusi ja jätkusuutlikkust ühendava globaalse initsiatiivi (Global e-Sustainability Initiative) juht. Ühtekokku läheb valede või iganenud lammutamis- ja taaskasutusvõtete tõttu kaduma kuni 85 protsenti seadmetes olevast kullast. Ekspertide sõnul saaks neid protsesse oluliselt parandada ning säästa loodust ja hoida kokku miljardeid eurosid.

lennundus

Berliini Brandenburgi lennujaam plaanitakse avada 17. märtsil 2013. aastal.

Lennujaam saab nime endise Berliini linnapea, Saksamaa kantsleri ja Nobeli preemia laureaadi Willy Brandti järgi. Ehitamine läheb maksma kolm miljardit eurot. Uus lennujaam asendab kolme Berliini õhuväravat: Tempelhofi lennujaam suleti juba 2008, Tegel suletakse 2013 ja Schönefeldi lennujaam liitub uue Brandenburgi lennujaamaga.

Berlin Brandenburg Airport is scheduled to open on 17 March 2013. The airport will be named after the former Berlin Mayor German Chancellor and Nobel Peace Laureate Willy Brandt. Construction costs are estimated at 3bn euros. The new airport will replace three airports: Tempelhof Airport closed in 2008, Tegel Airport scheduled to be closed in 2013, and Schönefeld Airport to be merged into the new Brandenburg Airport.

Kuidas ehitada lennujaama?

Nagu iga ehitus, algab ka lennujaama ehitamine planeeringutest ega erine tavalise maja ehitusest, kinnitab Tallinna Lennujaama juhatuse liige Einari Bambus.

Lennujaama rajamisel

tuleb kõigepealt valida sobiv maatükk. Kui inimesed hakkavad maja ehitama, soovivad nad tavaliselt, et see oleks metsa sees, mere ääres, suurlinna keskel ehk ideaalses kohas. “Ka lennujaama ehitami-

lennundus Uued terminalid on sageli justkui maale laskunud kosmoselaevad. Arhitektid püüavad luua hooneid, mis avaldaksid muljet ja oleksid oma ajastu monumentideks. “Parim on siiski lihtne neljakandiline ja kõiki funktsioone täitev maja. Puhas, õdus, mugav, lihtne ja loogiline hoone,” arvab lennundusekspert.

“Mida lihtsam ja efektiivsem on lennujaam, seda odavamad on tasud ning seega ka lennukipilet. See omakorda toob rohkem kliente,” tõdeb Bambus.

Uut rahvusvahelist Islamabadi lennujaama, mis on tuntud ka kui Gandhara lennujaam ehitatakse Pakistani Islamabadi lähistele. See peaks asendama Benazir Bhutto nimelist rahvusvahelist lennujaama ja valmima 2013. aastal.

The New Islamabad International Airport, also known as Gandhara International Airport, is under construction near Islamabad, Pakistan. It will replace the Benazir Bhutto International Airport. It is expected to be complete by 2013.

ma, seal peavad olema kommunikatsioonid nagu vesi, elekter jm,” selgitab lennundusekspert. Tema väitel on asukoha puhul olulised nii geograafilised, geoloogilised kui ka meteoroloogilised iseärasused (näiteks see, kuidas tuuled puhuvad, et lennurajal saaks lennuk kiiresti tuule tiibadesse ja ohutult maanduda).

Esmatähtis on määrata lennuliiklusest tulenevad nõutavad dimensioonid, s.t arvestada õhusõidukite tüüpe, liikluse tihedust, reisijate arvu, kaubamahtu. Seejärel tuleb maatükile paigutada lennurada, ruleerimirajad, perroonid ja navigatsiooniseadmed. Maapealsete teenuste osutamiseks on vaja kindlaks määrata garaažide, töökodade, angaaride, olme- ja puhkeruumide asukohad ning mõelda, kuhu rajada reisijate terminal.

Mis lennujaamas on?

Lennurada või mitu (Tallinnas on üks), ruleerimisteed, perroonid n Lennujuhtimiskeskus ja navigatsiooniseadmed n Reisi- ja kaubaterminalid n Maapealne teenindus n Kütuseterminalid õhusõidukitele ja maapealsele tehnikale n Keskkonda säästvad, ennetavad jne meetmed, näiteks reoveepuhastusjaam või n müraseire seadmed

IT- ja sidekommunikatsioon n Lennuohutus ja julgestus n Toll, piir, politsei n Ärid, ühistransport, taksod, baarid, kohvikud, parklad n

Oluline on, et inimesed saaksid lennujaamas

lihtsalt, mugavalt ja ohutult liikuda, et pääseksid kiiresti ühest terminalist teise jne. 200-300 meetrit on suhteliselt mugav vahemaa jalutamiseks.

Samuti peavad olema võimalused ostlemiseks, söömiseks, joomiseks või lihtsalt lõõgastumiseks.

Lisaks uutele ehitatakse ümber olemasolevaid lennujaamu. Tallinna lennujaam on pidevas muutuses. Tänavu suvel avati uus angaar lennukite teenindamiseks. “Peab ette mõtlema, hilja on ehitama hakata siis, kui vajadus käes,” lisab Lennujaama juhatuse liige.

Tallinna lennujaam planeerib tulevikus ehitada näiteks teise reisijate terminali. Kitsas on ka perroon, kus lennukid pargivad. Peagi ootab uut ülekatet 1995. aastal taastatud lennurada.

Doha lennujaam 채gab reisijatevoo k채es, kuigi seda on korduvalt laiendatud.

Praegu ei suudeta teenindada rohkem kui 12 miljonit reisijat aastas. 4600-meetrine lennurada on tsiviillennunduse pikim. 2013. aasta alguses avatakse uus rahvusvaheline Doha lennujaam.

Doha International Airport suffers from overuse even though it has been expanded numerous times. The current capacity stands at 12 million passengers per year. Its 4.6 km runway is one of the longest for any civil airport. The existing airport will be replaced in early 2013 when the first phase of New Doha International Airport is expected to open.

How to build an airport?

Like any building activity, construction of a new airport starts with planning and is actually quite similar to a normal building process, says Einari Bambus, board member of Tallinn Airport.

aviation When building a new airport, one must first find a suitable piece of land. For a house, people usually seek an ideal location in the woods, by the sea or in the town centre.

“It’s not so difficult to find a vacant plot between 500 and 600 hectares for an airport, but any land in the middle of marches or fields is not suitable,” says Bambus.

“The best is a level and empty area. It must be easily and logistically accessible for goods and passengers and it needs infrastructure such as water and power supply, etc,” explains the aviation expert. He adds that the location must also be suitable in terms of geography, geology and weather, including wind patterns to give additional lift for departing airplanes and to ensure a safe landing for incoming aircraft.

First, it is important to determine the requirements for air traffic including the type of aircraft, traffic frequencies, number of passengers and cargo handling volumes. Then one needs to find a place for runways, taxiways, aprons and navigation equipment and, for ground handling services, garages, workshops, hangars, accommodation and - last but not least - the passenger terminal.

Modern airport terminals often look like spaceships that have just landed on earth. Arc-

hitects are competing to create buildings that impress and become monuments of their time.

“However, the best option is always a simple quadrangular and functional building. In other words, a clean, cosy, comfortable, simple and sensible building.

“The simpler and more efficient is the airport, the lower are the fees and also tickets. This attracts more passengers,” notes Bambus.

What is important is that people are able to move easily, comfortably and safely around the building, can rapidly move between terminals etc.

200 - 300 m by foot is a normal distance. There must also be facilities for shopping, dining, drinking and leisure.

Like many existing airports, Tallinn Airport is constantly undergoing changes. This summer a new hangar for aircraft maintenance was opened at the airport. “You need to keep thinking ahead, because it’s too late to start building when the need arises.”

Tallinn Airport, for instance, plans to build another passenger terminal in the future; and the current apron used by aircraft is too narrow. The airport will soon start modernising the runway that was resurfaced more than 15 years ago.

Rahvusvaheline Incheoni lennujaam LõunaKoreas, Soulis on üks suurimaid maailmas.

Lõplikult peaks see valmis saama 2020. aastaks. Kavas on rajada kaks reisiterminali, neli ühenduskoridori, 128 väravat ja viis paralleelset lennurada. Kokku suudab uus õhusõlm aastas hallata 100 miljonit reisijat.

Incheon International Airport serving Seoul, South Korea, is one is of the largest airports in the world. Estimated to be completed in 2020, the airport will have two passenger terminals, four satellite concourses, 128 gates, and five parallel runways. It will be able to handle 100 million passengers a year.

EuroBonuse programm Estonian Airi ametlik püsikliendiprogramm on SAS EuroBonus, n mis on Skandinaavia üks edukamaid eraisikutele suunatud püsikliendiprogramme. EuroBonusega on liitunud üle 30 lennufirma: SAS, Blue1, Widerøe, Lufthansa, Swiss, Air China jpt. EuroBonuse programmi põhimõte on lihtne: mida rohkem ja kaugemale lendate, seda rohkem punkte kogute. EuroBonusega liitumine on tasuta.

Liituge EuroBonusega Estonian Airi kodulehel www.estonian-air.ee/ eurobonus. Esitage alati lennule registreerimisel oma EuroBonuse kaart.

Alates 1. juunist kehtivad Estonian Airi lendudel uuenenud SAS EuroBonuse reeglid Reisijatele tähendab see lihtsustunud punktiarvestust, kus kogutavaid punkte arvestatakse nüüdsest mitte enam lähtuvalt pileti hinnaklassist, vaid vastavalt sellele, mis reisiklassi on pilet ostetud. Uue punktisüsteemi järgi kogub turistiklassi piletiga reisija minimaalselt 500 punkti (varasema 75 asemel), paindliku turistiklassi piletiga reisija 750 punkti (varasema 450 asemel) ning äriklassi piletiga reisija teenib minimaalselt 1000 punkti (varasema 600 asemel).

Samuti on ühtlustatud erinevates riikides tegutsevate lennufirmade punktitasemed preemiareiside tellimiseks, mis teevad arvestamise reisija jaoks lihtsamaks ja loogilisemaks.

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

Preemiareis Teenitud EuroBonuse punkte on võimalik kasutada preemiareisiks kõikidel Estonian Airi regulaarlendudel. Samuti võib teenitud punktide eest lunastada preemiareisi oma pereliikmetele, sõpradele või tuttavatele. Preemiareiside kohtade arv on piiratud! EuroBonuse preemiareise on võimalik broneerida kiirelt ja mugavalt veebis või EuroBonuse klienditeeninduse kaudu, saates e-kirja aadressile eurobonus.ee@sas.dk või helistades telefonil 666 3030 esmaspäevast reedeni kell 9–17.

Kaasas peab olema reisidokument, milleks on: n • pass (rahvusvahelistel lendudel) • pass või rahvuslik ID-kaart (Euroopa Liidu piires) • pass, rahvuslik ID-kaart, Eestis välja antud juhiluba, üliõpilas- või õpilaspilet (Tallinna-Tartu-Tallinna siselendudel) Estonian Airi lendudel võib inimese kohta olla üks ühik registreen ritavat pagasit kaaluga kuni 23 kg. Pagasireeglid on lennufirmadel erinevad, seetõttu tuleb piletit ostes tähelepanelik olla. Kõigil lennufirmadel ei pruugi pagasi hind olla lennupileti hinna sees. Jätkulendudel kehtivad esimese vedaja pagasireeglid.

Kui lennujaamas tekib probleeme, tuleb kõigepealt üles otsida n lennufirma töötajad või esindajad, kellelt saab küsida abi ja infot.

Kui lend hilineb üle kahe ja poole tunni, on lennufirma kohustan tud pakkuma reisijatele süüa-juua ja sidevõimalust (näiteks kaks tasuta telefonikõnet). Alates viietunnisest hilinemisest on reisijal õigus lennust loobumise korral lennupileti eest makstud raha tagasi saada. Ülebroneeringu korral peab lennuettevõtja otsima vabatahtn likke, kes on nõus loobuma oma kohast kokkulepitud hüvitise eest.

Vabatahtlike puudumisel on reisijatel õigus hüvitisele (125-600 eurot), teisele võimalusele sihtkohta jõudmiseks või piletihinna tagastusele. Veel on lennureisile mitte lubamise korral reisijatel õigus abistamisele ning vajadusel ka majutusele (sealhulgas transport majutuskoha-lennujaama vahel).

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

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

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