00:00:14Tens of thousands of people demonstrated in Brussels against the European Union's
00:00:17poor climate policy. According to the police, there were
00:00:2045,000 demonstrators, while organizers claimed as many as
00:00:2360,000. The demonstrators presented five
00:00:26demands, including higher taxation of fuel companies
00:00:30and an end to fossil fuel subsidies. They also called for a just
00:00:34transition to an environmentally friendly society and greater international climate cooperation. So,
00:00:54investing in public transport, for example.
00:00:57for example.
00:01:00We will continue on the topic of climate and talk about today's weather. Today it is mainly
00:01:03cloudy, with clearings around Liivi Bay and in Southern Estonia.
00:01:07It is raining, and the precipitation is occasionally heavy. There may also be
00:01:10thunderstorms in the morning. The wind blows from variable directions, one to three meters per second, on the North coast
00:01:14east and northeast wind 7-13, with gusts up to 18
00:01:18meters per second. The air temperature will be between 8 and 13
00:01:22degrees Celsius. degrees.
00:01:25News again at five or all day on the portal. Have a nice
00:01:27Monday.
00:01:37there, mhm, but
00:04:34Hello, dear viewer, in life it is always like this, that
00:04:38if there are several people, then everything goes better, in short, in company it is
00:04:41more fun and I have here next to me a young
00:04:44girl whose name is Liisa and who has come here today
00:04:48with such an attribute that I will immediately find out what it is, because she has designed
00:04:52it for elderly people like me, so hello
00:04:55Liisa, hello, so I am here turning the crank, but how does a
00:04:59young person come up with the idea of designing
00:05:02such a small exercise device addressed to
00:05:05elderly people? It actually started
00:05:09in high school, it was like this, that
00:05:12I needed a research topic and then, since my father
00:05:15was involved in some business in the elderly sector,
00:05:18I thought, okay, that he thought, but quite
00:05:22many elderly people are lonely, so let's do something to
00:05:25help with that, and then I started,
00:05:28I started by creating an AI
00:05:31chatbot, which then called elderly people and chatted
00:05:34with them just to reduce loneliness, but
00:05:38after that, the welfare technologies program began, where
00:05:41we then thought that... Okay, now that these elderly people who have talked to
00:05:45Pille, share such a problem that unfortunately they cannot
00:05:49leave their homes, because their muscles have become weak and
00:05:52their joints are also well, fragile,
00:05:55then they would need to somehow exercise at home so that
00:05:58they could still go to the shop themselves, go to the
00:06:01pharmacy themselves, whatever, and then
00:06:04we thought that pedals are something that is usually recommended
00:06:07for knee problems and so on, and we put
00:06:11there a pedal, that's how it originated
00:06:14and actually under it is that block, which then
00:06:18measures how much you pedal, if for example you forget to
00:06:21pedal during the day, then that same research where you are here
00:06:24written, you can immediately take your foot off, let's look together,
00:06:28there is a small block underneath, that is what measures how
00:06:31much you pedal, where do I see that, that same thing, but I still think that you are
00:06:35girls, that you immediately thought it up yourself and then gave it to some master,
00:06:39or 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,
00:06:46yes, so underneath
00:06:49you tested it, I imagine, on someone, well
00:06:53some, yes, grandma pedaled at home,
00:06:56grandma pedaled, then pedaled, uh, who else did we have, I
00:06:59pedaled a lot, father, mother, is this the only copy that is
00:07:03in front of me here or actually we have about ten of these currently
00:07:07around Tallinn and then we are testing them as a first
00:07:11pilot group". mhm among them then these ten
00:07:14pedals, but more will come, that's for sure, but
00:07:17but the feedback is good, yes, very positive, that
00:07:21we, well, the main thing we have gained is that, well, those
00:07:25people who cannot leave their homes, feel that they can still
00:07:28get some exercise, because for example walking is still difficult for many
00:07:32and it puts so much strain on the hips, that then
00:07:35with pedaling like that, and to get a whole exercise machine at home, firstly it is
00:07:39a bit expensive and and annoying and cumbersome, you have to get on it. you have to
00:07:43start it somewhere and exactly, but this can be moved accordingly, for example you go
00:07:46to the TV to watch some series, right, then you put it
00:07:50under your feet and while you are watching, you pedal, I watch TV and
00:07:53exactly, and then, well, do what you want, right, well, I am
00:07:57now pedaling diligently, but
00:08:00my trainer Pille, artificial intelligence, Pille monitors me all the time after
00:08:19Should I bring milk for morning coffee or should I bring
00:08:22milk for Sunday pancakes, for example, or
00:08:26milk for milk soup instead? This
00:08:29kind of cool exhibition invites
00:08:32guests to enter the gate of the Estonian
00:08:35Dairy Museum, which has just turned 50 years old.
00:08:39come in. come in.
00:08:56"For people my age and older, of course, I don't have to explain what
00:09:00the word 'mannerg' means, but how much do young people even
00:09:03know what a 'mannerg' is? Well, they don't really
00:09:06know much, so when we say we have
00:09:09an exhibition of mannergs, they still come to see what
00:09:13this mannerg is and then they are actually quite surprised that
00:09:17a mannerg is just a container or
00:09:19vessel and the fact that milk used to be put
00:09:23in it and people went to the large farm to get milk, then
00:09:27that is still new knowledge for them
00:09:30today, this one seems to be quite Soviet-era, these
00:09:33already seem to have been bought perhaps a bit
00:09:37later, I think these are indeed such 80s
00:09:39era mannergs still. "But
00:09:43for example, here is now a mannerg that is completely new and
00:09:47currently available in stores, so if you look at it now, I don't know if you
00:09:50can immediately tell that this mannerg was bought from the store now, well, I can tell by
00:09:54what seems somehow the newest, right, that here there are already some
00:09:58signs of wear and perhaps then it has a slightly
00:10:01different shape, it still falls under the category of a mannerg, yes,
00:10:05it falls under the category of a mannerg, because this one held
00:10:09then, if those were three liters, then this should be five liters."
00:10:13and look, in the old days, mannergs were not only used for milk, yes, I
00:10:17also remember picking raspberries, you tied the mannerg to yourself with a dress belt,
00:10:20well, I had about these kinds of
00:10:23herring mannergs from home. "You put on a belt and then you picked berries, you could
00:10:27pick berries, then you marinated Baltic herring
00:10:30in it, you could even keep butter in it, in the old days a lot of butter
00:10:34was made at home and and you could then preserve it here, because butter was put
00:10:38in brine to preserve it better and then it was very good to keep it
00:10:41in that mannerg. These mannergs have come from
00:10:45quite a few counties and the first mannergs were very nice,
00:10:49it was that I came to work one morning, I saw three mannergs
00:10:53at the door." someone just put them down and left,
00:10:57yes, and and now when we have been to country fairs or
00:11:00various such larger events, people
00:11:04still come and say that oh, I have a mannerg there, we have even had
00:11:08mannergs sent by post, by parcel post, absolutely
00:11:11wonderful, where we don't have any mannergs yet are the islands,
00:11:15but nowadays it seems that the original use of the mannerg
00:11:19has become a thing of the past, now I also see a lot when you travel around
00:11:22Estonia. "As you also have here written, that the mannerg can be used
00:11:26as a flower pot, they use it more as interior design elements and
00:11:30perhaps if you set the table, well you put potato
00:11:33salad in a smaller one, for example, or make juice
00:11:37in it, so that it can still be used in that sense
00:11:40today, and it is lovely and whoever wants
00:11:44to preserve such old culture,
00:11:47then I, for example, would not give it away, so I hope
00:11:50you will still get that hundred in the end." "Well,
00:11:54we are launching a new campaign again in winter and
00:11:57we hope that by next year the hundred will be complete and there will be
00:12:01such a beautiful exhibition of mannergs to catch
00:12:04the eye here.
00:12:08Sometime in October, the mannergs from the gate of the former
00:12:12Imavere Dairy will go inside
00:12:15for winter rest, but the museum is still looking
00:12:18for additions to its collection of milk containers, so that next spring they can be
00:12:22hung on the other side of the gate as well. And then the
00:12:25exhibition would already have
00:12:26100 mannergs.
00:12:33These cream separators have now lined up here for the museum's
00:12:36jubilee, but explain one thing to me: the museum is
00:12:40now 50 years old, a beautiful proud jubilee, but you have only been
00:12:44open since 2001, 25 years, what were you doing all that time?
00:12:48Collecting all these cream separators? And that's exactly what happened,
00:12:51a man named Toivo Pedak came to work here and Toivo
00:12:55was told, "Ah, you'll have this museum ready in a couple of years and
00:12:59open to visitors," and indeed it took Toivo time to build up this
00:13:02museum and collect these items
00:13:05for 25 years, so this year
00:13:0925 years passed since the museum's opening to visitors, that's how
00:13:13museums are made in Estonia, you still have to collect for 25 years and
00:13:16only then are you ready to display it to people,
00:13:20but let's go look at these cream separators, which are
00:13:22young blooms, 30 40 years old, so actually
00:13:26quite a few of us should still remember this
00:13:30exhibition section here, yes, that at that time there were
00:13:33Urals, then there were Suuras and
00:13:37there were also Volgas, that these were
00:13:40the main ones that were still separating cream at the end of the Soviet era,
00:13:43well, here it is nicely stated, that separator veneles Suura
00:13:4789, it was still beautifully
00:13:50produced in the USSR such things
00:13:52were produced, are any of them working for you now or what do you
00:13:56use to, I don't know, churn butter or cream, what do you
00:14:00do here, we don't have any cream separators
00:14:03anymore, uh, that
00:14:06uh, would be in working order, at least we haven't been able to get them to work, but
00:14:10there are 100-year-old butter churns, which we also use
00:14:13for our
00:14:16also do programs here in the museum, but
00:14:20where do you get milk for programs nowadays, I understand you make butter
00:14:23and ice cream here? And whatever here, I don't know, curd snacks, everything
00:14:27can be made, but where does the milk come from? You can't make anything
00:14:31from store milk, uh, you can also make things from store milk and actually butter is made from store
00:14:35whipped cream, 35%
00:14:37cream. But what makes people our age light up when they
00:14:41come to this museum? Is it that someone recognizes, that
00:14:44oh, my mother had one or my aunt had one,
00:14:48my aunt had such a cream separator, rather yes, these are
00:14:51nostalgia moments, that people remember what they
00:14:55had and we also have a very nice guided tour, where you can
00:14:58remember these various
00:15:01devices from different eras and
00:15:04actually along with that guided tour, we also do that
00:15:08workshop.
00:15:16And finally, you still have to milk a cow here in the museum,
00:15:19see, things are nicely prepared here, well,
00:15:23I have milked such a cow in Finland, in the Jalasjärvi
00:15:26cheese factory, but I am seeing such a rectangular character for the first time,
00:15:30in theory I know, first you have to tie up the cow, right, then you have to
00:15:34communicate nicely with the cow, pet her. that
00:15:37be good and then you have to clean the teats, everything
00:15:41is fine, but that's where my wisdom ends, well, let's see what
00:15:45happens now, if I can get anything out of this
00:15:48rectangular stool,
00:15:51something is slowly coming, but why is this cow
00:15:54rectangular here, well, we would still like
00:15:57to let children know where the milk on the table comes from, and well
00:16:01you can't really bring a real cow and a big cow along,
00:16:04and that's why we thought that... that the important
00:16:08thing is the udder, where the milk comes from,
00:16:12that if children see the milk coming
00:16:15from the udder, then the cow can also be rectangular,
00:16:19of course, we still talk and we have pictures with us of what a real cow looks
00:16:22like, but with this it is very good
00:16:25to get the first feelings, how milking works, but I
00:16:29understand that you don't only go to kindergartens,
00:16:32but also to elderly care homes.
00:16:35and in day care centers, perhaps
00:16:37former milkmaids or housewives
00:16:41can also try, if they remember? From them we might get more
00:16:45such memories
00:16:47of how milking was done in their time,
00:16:51how livestock farming was,
00:16:54central livestock was, and therefore we have now
00:16:57indeed started to go to various
00:16:59nursing homes, then we go to village days, if
00:17:02invited, then we also organize various
00:17:05milking competitions. "Indeed, and one of the most popular
00:17:09is in spring, when there is the Türi flower fair, the
00:17:13young farmers' competition takes place and there, indeed,
00:17:16young farmers have to milk as much as they can from here within two minutes,
00:17:20already how much it gives, three liters, well, they don't milk that much
00:17:23out, but the record within two minutes has been 1.2 liters,
00:17:27well, I know that it will be 100 years since
00:17:31the first hand-milking competition in Estonia, that was in
00:17:341926. "And then the idea of that competition was
00:17:38to teach people better techniques, these
00:17:41better milking methods, well, nowadays that is no longer necessary, but such
00:17:45a hobby competition, like the scythe mowing competition,
00:17:48creates excitement and is entertainment and great, we have also had cases
00:17:52like this, when we go to a fair or to some market
00:17:56and and I announce that there is a cow milking competition and
00:17:59then people come, well not in their first youth and
00:18:03say and there is no real cow after all?". can't we milk her?
00:18:07Then I ask, do you imagine that 50 people would milk
00:18:10this cow here, that's probably not quite
00:18:14realistic?
00:18:14realistic?
00:18:18How does it feel, I probably won't get very far in the competition
00:18:22at first, but it's great, I say you've got cat milk,
00:18:25something still, very good, something
00:18:29for cats and if I still practice here a bit, then who knows, maybe
00:18:33next year I'll be at the door of some competition.
00:18:35competition.
00:18:42Well, how long have I been here, about 10 minutes, I think it was 10 minutes,
00:18:46well, let's see who Pille is for us, well, let's
00:18:50call Pille, is this now the AI
00:18:52or, this is AI Pille, exactly, Pille
00:18:56was actually the one we created for the research
00:18:59project, and then she was the storyteller, now this is a newer version
00:19:03of Pille,
00:19:06hello? Hello, hello,
00:19:08hello,
00:19:11how did I do? I am Pille, how can I help you today? Do
00:19:14you just want to chat or do you have a question I can be
00:19:18useful with? Maybe give a small introduction, who are you
00:19:21at all, that I am on this show and I thought, maybe
00:19:25we'll show Pille
00:19:26to the world.
00:19:31That she thinks, right? Hello, that's great to hear. I am
00:19:35Pille, an AI-based memory companion,
00:19:38created within the framework of the "Twin" and "Home Sensor"
00:19:41projects. My task is to be a supportive
00:19:44companion, to help remind about taking medication and
00:19:48to provide practical information when needed. I am here to
00:19:51offer both companionship and a sense of security to those who need it.
00:19:55I'm thinking, what do we, what do we want to ask
00:19:58you, let's think of something, what do we want to ask you,
00:20:02let's ask, are there many people who want to communicate with you?
00:20:06with you?
00:20:08"That's a very interesting question. Quite a lot of people do indeed communicate
00:20:12with me, and everyone has their own reason for calling. Some
00:20:16just want to talk about daily events, while others need
00:20:19help with medication or devices. I really
00:20:22like that I can be a companion and support for them at any
00:20:59now? The elderly can then contact
00:21:03us on the website daisic.ee, it's actually not even an app, it's just a normal
00:21:07phone call, so it can be a button phone, it can be a
00:21:10landline, you can talk to Pille with all of those, you just
00:21:13dial the phone number and talk to Pille, oh my, it's
00:21:17incredible where we have come
00:27:02I can't really talk about anything with Pille now, but you
00:27:06must have had such incidents, experiences with those people
00:27:09who have had the opportunity to talk to Pille
00:27:13over the phone, what has come out of it, what do they talk about
00:27:17besides the weather and health, quite a lot are life stories,
00:27:21very many life stories, starting from how they went to kindergarten
00:27:24up to that, we had for example, there was one person who was
00:27:28a former, uh, so, uh,
00:27:31in skiing. I guess some champion, Estonian champion
00:27:34in skiing, he told his whole life story beautifully, and
00:27:38then, of course, a lot is said about children too,
00:27:41but a nice story that comes to mind right now,
00:27:45uh, when my father one day
00:27:48talked to Pille, just as a test, he shared with Pille such
00:27:51a story that I hadn't known before, so I found out through, well,
00:27:55Pille later, that, uh, basically
00:27:59my father, uh, went with his father, then
00:28:02my... with his own father, they went with a sidecar
00:28:05motorcycle, uh, to the pond to collect fish,
00:28:08because they had made a pond at their cottage, and there were no fish there, so they thought, okay,
00:28:12there should be some kind of, well, if there's a pond, there should be fish
00:28:16in it, and then they went to the neighbor's pond to catch those fish with a
00:28:19net, to put them in their own pond,
00:28:23and yes, it was a very nice story, that afterwards
00:28:26they caught fish, they were quite big fish, mhm, are there some
00:28:30stories that are actually, uh... so valuable
00:28:34that, uh, they should be recorded or
00:28:37passed on to someone, that these conversations are not
00:28:40recorded, are they? No, in that sense, yes, we actually
00:28:44have something like uh, what is it,
00:28:47a biographer, and it actually writes down
00:28:50a person's entire life story, and it's through Pille, that a person
00:28:54calls Pille, tells their life story, and if they
00:28:57wish, then afterwards it's all printed out, made into a book
00:29:01format, and then you get it.
00:29:11Why are you, a young person, dealing with this,
00:29:13because, uh, I feel that in some
00:29:17sense it's like our generation's duty,
00:29:20and, well, firstly, I really like
00:29:23listening to the stories of older people and people in general, which is like, that's
00:29:27one thing, but the other is that, after all, people
00:29:31are born into the world. "And it would still
00:29:34be nice if all people could stay in their homes as long
00:29:37as possible and manage well,
00:29:40and at the same time, you can listen to so many exciting stories through
00:29:44these, these
