[00:00:14] Tens of thousands of people demonstrated in Brussels against the European Union's
[00:00:17] poor climate policy. According to the police, there were
[00:00:20] 45,000 demonstrators, while organizers claimed as many as
[00:00:23] 60,000. The demonstrators presented five
[00:00:26] demands, including higher taxation of fuel companies
[00:00:30] and an end to fossil fuel subsidies. They also called for a just
[00:00:34] transition to an environmentally friendly society and greater international climate cooperation. So,
[00:00:54] investing in public transport, for example.
[00:00:57] for example.
[00:01:00] We will continue on the topic of climate and talk about today's weather. Today it is mainly
[00:01:03] cloudy, with clearings around Liivi Bay and in Southern Estonia.
[00:01:07] It is raining, and the precipitation is occasionally heavy. There may also be
[00:01:10] thunderstorms in the morning. The wind blows from variable directions, one to three meters per second, on the North coast
[00:01:14] east and northeast wind 7-13, with gusts up to 18
[00:01:18] meters per second. The air temperature will be between 8 and 13
[00:01:22] degrees Celsius. degrees.
[00:01:25] News again at five or all day on the portal. Have a nice
[00:01:27] Monday.
[00:01:37] there, mhm, but
[00:04:34] Hello, dear viewer, in life it is always like this, that
[00:04:38] if there are several people, then everything goes better, in short, in company it is
[00:04:41] more fun and I have here next to me a young
[00:04:44] girl whose name is Liisa and who has come here today
[00:04:48] with such an attribute that I will immediately find out what it is, because she has designed
[00:04:52] it for elderly people like me, so hello
[00:04:55] Liisa, hello, so I am here turning the crank, but how does a
[00:04:59] young person come up with the idea of designing
[00:05:02] such a small exercise device addressed to
[00:05:05] elderly people? It actually started
[00:05:09] in high school, it was like this, that
[00:05:12] I needed a research topic and then, since my father
[00:05:15] was involved in some business in the elderly sector,
[00:05:18] I thought, okay, that he thought, but quite
[00:05:22] many elderly people are lonely, so let's do something to
[00:05:25] help with that, and then I started,
[00:05:28] I started by creating an AI
[00:05:31] chatbot, which then called elderly people and chatted
[00:05:34] with them just to reduce loneliness, but
[00:05:38] after that, the welfare technologies program began, where
[00:05:41] we then thought that... Okay, now that these elderly people who have talked to
[00:05:45] Pille, share such a problem that unfortunately they cannot
[00:05:49] leave their homes, because their muscles have become weak and
[00:05:52] their joints are also well, fragile,
[00:05:55] then they would need to somehow exercise at home so that
[00:05:58] they could still go to the shop themselves, go to the
[00:06:01] pharmacy themselves, whatever, and then
[00:06:04] we thought that pedals are something that is usually recommended
[00:06:07] for knee problems and so on, and we put
[00:06:11] there a pedal, that's how it originated
[00:06:14] and actually under it is that block, which then
[00:06:18] measures how much you pedal, if for example you forget to
[00:06:21] pedal during the day, then that same research where you are here
[00:06:24] written, you can immediately take your foot off, let's look together,
[00:06:28] there is a small block underneath, that is what measures how
[00:06:31] much you pedal, where do I see that, that same thing, but I still think that you are
[00:06:35] girls, that you immediately thought it up yourself and then gave it to some master,
[00:06:39] or your father or whoever put it together for you, then the pedals?
[00:06:43] "Yes, the pedals could be ordered, we assembled the electronics,
[00:06:46] yes, so underneath
[00:06:49] you tested it, I imagine, on someone, well
[00:06:53] some, yes, grandma pedaled at home,
[00:06:56] grandma pedaled, then pedaled, uh, who else did we have, I
[00:06:59] pedaled a lot, father, mother, is this the only copy that is
[00:07:03] in front of me here or actually we have about ten of these currently
[00:07:07] around Tallinn and then we are testing them as a first
[00:07:11] pilot group". mhm among them then these ten
[00:07:14] pedals, but more will come, that's for sure, but
[00:07:17] but the feedback is good, yes, very positive, that
[00:07:21] we, well, the main thing we have gained is that, well, those
[00:07:25] people who cannot leave their homes, feel that they can still
[00:07:28] get some exercise, because for example walking is still difficult for many
[00:07:32] and it puts so much strain on the hips, that then
[00:07:35] with pedaling like that, and to get a whole exercise machine at home, firstly it is
[00:07:39] a bit expensive and and annoying and cumbersome, you have to get on it. you have to
[00:07:43] start it somewhere and exactly, but this can be moved accordingly, for example you go
[00:07:46] to the TV to watch some series, right, then you put it
[00:07:50] under your feet and while you are watching, you pedal, I watch TV and
[00:07:53] exactly, and then, well, do what you want, right, well, I am
[00:07:57] now pedaling diligently, but
[00:08:00] my trainer Pille, artificial intelligence, Pille monitors me all the time after
[00:08:19] Should I bring milk for morning coffee or should I bring
[00:08:22] milk for Sunday pancakes, for example, or
[00:08:26] milk for milk soup instead? This
[00:08:29] kind of cool exhibition invites
[00:08:32] guests to enter the gate of the Estonian
[00:08:35] Dairy Museum, which has just turned 50 years old.
[00:08:39] come in. come in.
[00:08:56] "For people my age and older, of course, I don't have to explain what
[00:09:00] the word 'mannerg' means, but how much do young people even
[00:09:03] know what a 'mannerg' is? Well, they don't really
[00:09:06] know much, so when we say we have
[00:09:09] an exhibition of mannergs, they still come to see what
[00:09:13] this mannerg is and then they are actually quite surprised that
[00:09:17] a mannerg is just a container or
[00:09:19] vessel and the fact that milk used to be put
[00:09:23] in it and people went to the large farm to get milk, then
[00:09:27] that is still new knowledge for them
[00:09:30] today, this one seems to be quite Soviet-era, these
[00:09:33] already seem to have been bought perhaps a bit
[00:09:37] later, I think these are indeed such 80s
[00:09:39] era mannergs still. "But
[00:09:43] for example, here is now a mannerg that is completely new and
[00:09:47] currently available in stores, so if you look at it now, I don't know if you
[00:09:50] can immediately tell that this mannerg was bought from the store now, well, I can tell by
[00:09:54] what seems somehow the newest, right, that here there are already some
[00:09:58] signs of wear and perhaps then it has a slightly
[00:10:01] different shape, it still falls under the category of a mannerg, yes,
[00:10:05] it falls under the category of a mannerg, because this one held
[00:10:09] then, if those were three liters, then this should be five liters."
[00:10:13] and look, in the old days, mannergs were not only used for milk, yes, I
[00:10:17] also remember picking raspberries, you tied the mannerg to yourself with a dress belt,
[00:10:20] well, I had about these kinds of
[00:10:23] herring mannergs from home. "You put on a belt and then you picked berries, you could
[00:10:27] pick berries, then you marinated Baltic herring
[00:10:30] in it, you could even keep butter in it, in the old days a lot of butter
[00:10:34] was made at home and and you could then preserve it here, because butter was put
[00:10:38] in brine to preserve it better and then it was very good to keep it
[00:10:41] in that mannerg. These mannergs have come from
[00:10:45] quite a few counties and the first mannergs were very nice,
[00:10:49] it was that I came to work one morning, I saw three mannergs
[00:10:53] at the door." someone just put them down and left,
[00:10:57] yes, and and now when we have been to country fairs or
[00:11:00] various such larger events, people
[00:11:04] still come and say that oh, I have a mannerg there, we have even had
[00:11:08] mannergs sent by post, by parcel post, absolutely
[00:11:11] wonderful, where we don't have any mannergs yet are the islands,
[00:11:15] but nowadays it seems that the original use of the mannerg
[00:11:19] has become a thing of the past, now I also see a lot when you travel around
[00:11:22] Estonia. "As you also have here written, that the mannerg can be used
[00:11:26] as a flower pot, they use it more as interior design elements and
[00:11:30] perhaps if you set the table, well you put potato
[00:11:33] salad in a smaller one, for example, or make juice
[00:11:37] in it, so that it can still be used in that sense
[00:11:40] today, and it is lovely and whoever wants
[00:11:44] to preserve such old culture,
[00:11:47] then I, for example, would not give it away, so I hope
[00:11:50] you will still get that hundred in the end." "Well,
[00:11:54] we are launching a new campaign again in winter and
[00:11:57] we hope that by next year the hundred will be complete and there will be
[00:12:01] such a beautiful exhibition of mannergs to catch
[00:12:04] the eye here.
[00:12:08] Sometime in October, the mannergs from the gate of the former
[00:12:12] Imavere Dairy will go inside
[00:12:15] for winter rest, but the museum is still looking
[00:12:18] for additions to its collection of milk containers, so that next spring they can be
[00:12:22] hung on the other side of the gate as well. And then the
[00:12:25] exhibition would already have
[00:12:26] 100 mannergs.
[00:12:33] These cream separators have now lined up here for the museum's
[00:12:36] jubilee, but explain one thing to me: the museum is
[00:12:40] now 50 years old, a beautiful proud jubilee, but you have only been
[00:12:44] open since 2001, 25 years, what were you doing all that time?
[00:12:48] Collecting all these cream separators? And that's exactly what happened,
[00:12:51] a man named Toivo Pedak came to work here and Toivo
[00:12:55] was told, "Ah, you'll have this museum ready in a couple of years and
[00:12:59] open to visitors," and indeed it took Toivo time to build up this
[00:13:02] museum and collect these items
[00:13:05] for 25 years, so this year
[00:13:09] 25 years passed since the museum's opening to visitors, that's how
[00:13:13] museums are made in Estonia, you still have to collect for 25 years and
[00:13:16] only then are you ready to display it to people,
[00:13:20] but let's go look at these cream separators, which are
[00:13:22] young blooms, 30 40 years old, so actually
[00:13:26] quite a few of us should still remember this
[00:13:30] exhibition section here, yes, that at that time there were
[00:13:33] Urals, then there were Suuras and
[00:13:37] there were also Volgas, that these were
[00:13:40] the main ones that were still separating cream at the end of the Soviet era,
[00:13:43] well, here it is nicely stated, that separator veneles Suura
[00:13:47] 89, it was still beautifully
[00:13:50] produced in the USSR such things
[00:13:52] were produced, are any of them working for you now or what do you
[00:13:56] use to, I don't know, churn butter or cream, what do you
[00:14:00] do here, we don't have any cream separators
[00:14:03] anymore, uh, that
[00:14:06] uh, would be in working order, at least we haven't been able to get them to work, but
[00:14:10] there are 100-year-old butter churns, which we also use
[00:14:13] for our
[00:14:16] also do programs here in the museum, but
[00:14:20] where do you get milk for programs nowadays, I understand you make butter
[00:14:23] and ice cream here? And whatever here, I don't know, curd snacks, everything
[00:14:27] can be made, but where does the milk come from? You can't make anything
[00:14:31] from store milk, uh, you can also make things from store milk and actually butter is made from store
[00:14:35] whipped cream, 35%
[00:14:37] cream. But what makes people our age light up when they
[00:14:41] come to this museum? Is it that someone recognizes, that
[00:14:44] oh, my mother had one or my aunt had one,
[00:14:48] my aunt had such a cream separator, rather yes, these are
[00:14:51] nostalgia moments, that people remember what they
[00:14:55] had and we also have a very nice guided tour, where you can
[00:14:58] remember these various
[00:15:01] devices from different eras and
[00:15:04] actually along with that guided tour, we also do that
[00:15:08] workshop.
[00:15:16] And finally, you still have to milk a cow here in the museum,
[00:15:19] see, things are nicely prepared here, well,
[00:15:23] I have milked such a cow in Finland, in the Jalasjärvi
[00:15:26] cheese factory, but I am seeing such a rectangular character for the first time,
[00:15:30] in theory I know, first you have to tie up the cow, right, then you have to
[00:15:34] communicate nicely with the cow, pet her. that
[00:15:37] be good and then you have to clean the teats, everything
[00:15:41] is fine, but that's where my wisdom ends, well, let's see what
[00:15:45] happens now, if I can get anything out of this
[00:15:48] rectangular stool,
[00:15:51] something is slowly coming, but why is this cow
[00:15:54] rectangular here, well, we would still like
[00:15:57] to let children know where the milk on the table comes from, and well
[00:16:01] you can't really bring a real cow and a big cow along,
[00:16:04] and that's why we thought that... that the important
[00:16:08] thing is the udder, where the milk comes from,
[00:16:12] that if children see the milk coming
[00:16:15] from the udder, then the cow can also be rectangular,
[00:16:19] of course, we still talk and we have pictures with us of what a real cow looks
[00:16:22] like, but with this it is very good
[00:16:25] to get the first feelings, how milking works, but I
[00:16:29] understand that you don't only go to kindergartens,
[00:16:32] but also to elderly care homes.
[00:16:35] and in day care centers, perhaps
[00:16:37] former milkmaids or housewives
[00:16:41] can also try, if they remember? From them we might get more
[00:16:45] such memories
[00:16:47] of how milking was done in their time,
[00:16:51] how livestock farming was,
[00:16:54] central livestock was, and therefore we have now
[00:16:57] indeed started to go to various
[00:16:59] nursing homes, then we go to village days, if
[00:17:02] invited, then we also organize various
[00:17:05] milking competitions. "Indeed, and one of the most popular
[00:17:09] is in spring, when there is the Türi flower fair, the
[00:17:13] young farmers' competition takes place and there, indeed,
[00:17:16] young farmers have to milk as much as they can from here within two minutes,
[00:17:20] already how much it gives, three liters, well, they don't milk that much
[00:17:23] out, but the record within two minutes has been 1.2 liters,
[00:17:27] well, I know that it will be 100 years since
[00:17:31] the first hand-milking competition in Estonia, that was in
[00:17:34] 1926. "And then the idea of that competition was
[00:17:38] to teach people better techniques, these
[00:17:41] better milking methods, well, nowadays that is no longer necessary, but such
[00:17:45] a hobby competition, like the scythe mowing competition,
[00:17:48] creates excitement and is entertainment and great, we have also had cases
[00:17:52] like this, when we go to a fair or to some market
[00:17:56] and and I announce that there is a cow milking competition and
[00:17:59] then people come, well not in their first youth and
[00:18:03] say and there is no real cow after all?". can't we milk her?
[00:18:07] Then I ask, do you imagine that 50 people would milk
[00:18:10] this cow here, that's probably not quite
[00:18:14] realistic?
[00:18:14] realistic?
[00:18:18] How does it feel, I probably won't get very far in the competition
[00:18:22] at first, but it's great, I say you've got cat milk,
[00:18:25] something still, very good, something
[00:18:29] for cats and if I still practice here a bit, then who knows, maybe
[00:18:33] next year I'll be at the door of some competition.
[00:18:35] competition.
[00:18:42] Well, how long have I been here, about 10 minutes, I think it was 10 minutes,
[00:18:46] well, let's see who Pille is for us, well, let's
[00:18:50] call Pille, is this now the AI
[00:18:52] or, this is AI Pille, exactly, Pille
[00:18:56] was actually the one we created for the research
[00:18:59] project, and then she was the storyteller, now this is a newer version
[00:19:03] of Pille,
[00:19:06] hello? Hello, hello,
[00:19:08] hello,
[00:19:11] how did I do? I am Pille, how can I help you today? Do
[00:19:14] you just want to chat or do you have a question I can be
[00:19:18] useful with? Maybe give a small introduction, who are you
[00:19:21] at all, that I am on this show and I thought, maybe
[00:19:25] we'll show Pille
[00:19:26] to the world.
[00:19:31] That she thinks, right? Hello, that's great to hear. I am
[00:19:35] Pille, an AI-based memory companion,
[00:19:38] created within the framework of the "Twin" and "Home Sensor"
[00:19:41] projects. My task is to be a supportive
[00:19:44] companion, to help remind about taking medication and
[00:19:48] to provide practical information when needed. I am here to
[00:19:51] offer both companionship and a sense of security to those who need it.
[00:19:55] I'm thinking, what do we, what do we want to ask
[00:19:58] you, let's think of something, what do we want to ask you,
[00:20:02] let's ask, are there many people who want to communicate with you?
[00:20:06] with you?
[00:20:08] "That's a very interesting question. Quite a lot of people do indeed communicate
[00:20:12] with me, and everyone has their own reason for calling. Some
[00:20:16] just want to talk about daily events, while others need
[00:20:19] help with medication or devices. I really
[00:20:22] like that I can be a companion and support for them at any
[00:20:59] now? The elderly can then contact
[00:21:03] us on the website daisic.ee, it's actually not even an app, it's just a normal
[00:21:07] phone call, so it can be a button phone, it can be a
[00:21:10] landline, you can talk to Pille with all of those, you just
[00:21:13] dial the phone number and talk to Pille, oh my, it's
[00:21:17] incredible where we have come
[00:27:02] I can't really talk about anything with Pille now, but you
[00:27:06] must have had such incidents, experiences with those people
[00:27:09] who have had the opportunity to talk to Pille
[00:27:13] over the phone, what has come out of it, what do they talk about
[00:27:17] besides the weather and health, quite a lot are life stories,
[00:27:21] very many life stories, starting from how they went to kindergarten
[00:27:24] up to that, we had for example, there was one person who was
[00:27:28] a former, uh, so, uh,
[00:27:31] in skiing. I guess some champion, Estonian champion
[00:27:34] in skiing, he told his whole life story beautifully, and
[00:27:38] then, of course, a lot is said about children too,
[00:27:41] but a nice story that comes to mind right now,
[00:27:45] uh, when my father one day
[00:27:48] talked to Pille, just as a test, he shared with Pille such
[00:27:51] a story that I hadn't known before, so I found out through, well,
[00:27:55] Pille later, that, uh, basically
[00:27:59] my father, uh, went with his father, then
[00:28:02] my... with his own father, they went with a sidecar
[00:28:05] motorcycle, uh, to the pond to collect fish,
[00:28:08] because they had made a pond at their cottage, and there were no fish there, so they thought, okay,
[00:28:12] there should be some kind of, well, if there's a pond, there should be fish
[00:28:16] in it, and then they went to the neighbor's pond to catch those fish with a
[00:28:19] net, to put them in their own pond,
[00:28:23] and yes, it was a very nice story, that afterwards
[00:28:26] they caught fish, they were quite big fish, mhm, are there some
[00:28:30] stories that are actually, uh... so valuable
[00:28:34] that, uh, they should be recorded or
[00:28:37] passed on to someone, that these conversations are not
[00:28:40] recorded, are they? No, in that sense, yes, we actually
[00:28:44] have something like uh, what is it,
[00:28:47] a biographer, and it actually writes down
[00:28:50] a person's entire life story, and it's through Pille, that a person
[00:28:54] calls Pille, tells their life story, and if they
[00:28:57] wish, then afterwards it's all printed out, made into a book
[00:29:01] format, and then you get it.
[00:29:11] Why are you, a young person, dealing with this,
[00:29:13] because, uh, I feel that in some
[00:29:17] sense it's like our generation's duty,
[00:29:20] and, well, firstly, I really like
[00:29:23] listening to the stories of older people and people in general, which is like, that's
[00:29:27] one thing, but the other is that, after all, people
[00:29:31] are born into the world. "And it would still
