ARM : Alkali-aggregate reaction mitigation
Chair: Dr. Esperanza MENENDEZ MENDEZ
Deputy Chair: Prof. Leandro SANCHEZ
Activity starting in: 2020
Cluster D
The main objectives of the TC are presented hereafter:
Report on current strategies to mitigate alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) induced development in affected concrete infrastructure.
Describe and evaluate alternative/non-traditional materials and techniques to mitigate AAR-induced development in new and affected aging structures.
Appraise the behaviour and efficiency of alternative/non-traditional materials and techniques to mitigate AAR-induced development in new and affected aging structures through accelerated test procedures in the laboratory.
The TC will run for 5 years;
Members will be primarily from universities and research institutions, although members from industry with expertise not only in AAR, but rather in strategies to mitigate AAR in affected aging infrastructure are expected and welcome;
The work will include an extensive literature review on current strategies used to mitigate AAR-induced development in the field along with alternative/non-traditional materials and techniques with potential to be used in new and affected structures. Moreover, accelerated test procedures will be used/adapted to assess the performance of the proposed non-traditional/alternative materials in the laboratory.
It is worth noting that by the definition of the word "mitigation" (i.e. action of reducing the severity), this TC aims to study materials and products that will only start acting once AAR is triggered; the latter means that a) these products are not intended for AAR prevention and, b) depending on the environmental conditions, these products will act sooner or later, besides acting differently on structural members displaying distinct micro-climates or damage degrees.
The TC work will be relevant to the entire construction sector yet especially for critical concrete infrastructure such as nuclear power plants, dams, bridges, roads, etc.
Detailed working programme
Alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) is one of the most harmful distress mechanisms affecting the durability and serviceability of aging structures worldwide. AAR is a chemical reaction between the alkali hydroxides from the concrete pore solution and some unstable mineral phases from the aggregates used to make concrete. AAR generates a reaction product, the so-called AAR-gel that swells upon moisture uptake, leading to major cracking and reducing the mechanical properties of the affected material. AAR is normally divided into two mechanisms: alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and alkali-carbonate reaction (ACR); ASR is by far the most frequent mechanism observed around the globe. Normally, AAR-affected structures start displaying signs of deterioration after 5 to 25 years; the latter depends upon the reactivity of the aggregates and amount of alkalis used in the concrete mixture, along with some environmental conditions (i.e. moisture, temperature, etc.) and features of the affected structure (i.e. type, confinement effect, amount of reinforcement, etc.).
Several approaches, recommendations, and test procedures, have been developed to assess the potential alkali-reactivity of concrete aggregates and the efficiency of preventive measures (e.g. control of the cement & concrete alkali content, use of supplementary cementing materials (SCMs), use of lithium based admixtures, etc.). Despite a few issues with some of these test procedures (e.g. long-term duration, alkali leaching, long-term correlation with field structures, evaluation of job concrete mixtures, etc.) and the constant need of improvement in the different standards/protocols, the majority of experts agree that, in general, it is now possible to build new concrete infrastructure with limited risk of AAR. However, there is currently no consensus about the most efficient method(s) (e.g. surface treatments for moisture control, chemical treatments, strengthening, stress relief, etc.) that should be implemented, and when, for the rehabilitation of AAR-affected concrete structures/structural members. This situation is extremely critical for some structures whose risk associated to AAR development are extremely
high since they cannot be easily replaced nor rehabilitated such as dams, nuclear power plants, tunnels, bridges, etc. Moreover, although major structural failure has not been observed in AAR-affected structures, important structural implications might take place and were already reported in literature such as major deflections of structural components, yielding of the rebars and important spalling of concrete cover.
As per the above discussion, one may distinguish AAR mitigation into two distinct, yet related streams:
Stream A:
o AAR mitigation in fresh concrete: This stream deals with the use of alternative/non-conventional materials and techniques to mitigate AAR-induced expansion and damage in new concrete. These products shall start acting after AAR is triggered (i.e. occurrence of the first deterioration signs). Some examples of products are self-healing materials, fibres, etc. Therefore, it is expected that these materials/products may be activated at distinct time periods in different locations/members of the structure as per their micro-climates and damage degrees.
Stream B:
o Mitigation in hardened concrete: This stream aims to study alternative/non-conventional materials and techniques to decrease AAR-induced expansion and deterioration rate in affected aging structures. Some of the possible examples of products are waterproofs, cracks injection, slot cuttings and lithium-based admixtures.
It is widely accepted that numerous intrinsic features of concrete may change the time period required for AAR to be triggered in the field such as a) type (i.e. fine vs coarse) and nature (i.e. lithotype) of the reactive aggregate, b) water exposure and humidity, and, c) alkali loading of the concrete mixture. Furthermore, some characteristics of the structure itself may also play an important role on AAR-induced development such as geometry, confinement/reinforcement, macro/micro-climates, etc. Nevertheless, AAR often presents a slow induced development, which makes the understanding of its prognosis (i.e. induced development over time) complicated upon detection..
Several studies have been conducted over the last few decades and much has been accomplished on preventing AAR in new structures along with diagnosing (detection of cause and degree of damage) affected concrete. Yet, much less is known and have been done on the prognosis (i.e. evolution of the induced deterioration over time) and rehabilitation of affected structures. In this regard, analytical and numerical chemo-mechanical models have been established in the micro and macro scales to predict the further behaviour of affected infrastructure, which showed to be more or less accurate depending on the type of structure evaluated and approach selected. However,, very few novel research and developments have been achieved in mitigating AAR in the field. Therefore, it is extremely important to gather further information on the current knowledge (i.e. state-of-the-art) in the area along with developing alternative/non-conventional materials and solutions to lessen AAR impact in critical concrete infrastructure.
Work plan: The works to be conducted in the TC will cover the two streams aforementioned, related to AAR mitigation in fresh and hardened concrete, with the use of novel, non-traditional/alternative products. In order to cover these aspects, four different Work Package Groups (WPG) are considered as follows:
o WP1 – Strategies to mitigate AAR in affected concrete structures
- Extensive literature review on current rehabilitation strategies to mitigate AAR-affected concrete structures, considering their technical principles, difficulties and limitations to be applied to different types of structures, efficiency in reducing AAR-induced expansion and damage along with cost.;
- Discussion on the potential use of alternative/non-conventional materials and techniques to be applied in the field to mitigate (i.e. decrease the expansion rate) AAR-induced development.
o WP2 – Non-traditional mitigation materials/products in fresh and hardened concrete
- Evaluate (i.e. efficiency, availability, cost, experience in use, etc.) the use of alternative/non-conventional products to mitigate AAR in the field such as nano-particles, organic or inorganic encapsulated products, etc.;
- Summary of the most promising/established alternative materials used to mitigate AAR in new and existing structures, with careful attention to their efficiency, dosage requirement, influence on the properties of the material (compressive, tensile and flexural strength, heat of hydration, workability, porosity, setting time, etc.).
o WP3 – Accelerated test procedures to evaluate non-traditional mitigation products in fresh and hardened concrete
- Assessment of established RILEM accelerated test procedures to assess the efficiency of alternative products to mitigate ASR-induced development in the laboratory.
- Discussion and adaptation of stablished techniques to provide to assess alternative materials;
- The non-traditional mitigation materials used in the experimental tests will be proposed by WP2, in coordination with WP3.
o WP4 – Coordination between WPs to produce a STAR and papers on Mitigation of AAR
- The main objective of this TC is to produce a STAR with the current knowledge and experience on AAR mitigation.
- The WP1, 2 and 3 will conduct literature reviews and collect information that will be included in the STAR.
- To avoid overlapping or lack of information to be included in the STAR, all the information related to the literature review will be coordinated by WP4.
- The commercial information should be analysed before to include in the conclusions inSTAR. I will be only included whether considered useful and relevant information.
- The WP3 in coordination with WP2 will produce papers to be published at M&S with the experimental results obtained by the laboratory tests.
Structure and responsible of the WPs: The structure and the links between WPs is define then:
- Leader: Luis Oliveira (Portugal)
o WP2 – Non-traditional mitigation products in fresh concrete mixtures:
- Leader: Medhat Shehata (Canada)
o WP3 – Test procedures and strategies to evaluate non-traditional mitigation products in fresh concrete
- Leader: Leandro Sanchez (Canada)
o WP4 – Coordination between WPs to produce a STAR and papers on Mitigation of Alkali-Silica Reaction
- Leader: Esperanza Menéndez (Spain) and Antonio Santos Silva (Portugal)
It is anticipated to have co-leaders in all WPs. Time-zones will be considered for the selection of leaders to facilitate communication. Figure 1 illustrates the organization of the WPs and the coordination between them.
Schedule: If the TC is approved by the TAC while the Sheffield meeting, the schedule of activities will be:
December 2020: Online meeting with the leaders of the WPs to define the main lines and strategies of the WPs. Information to all the TC members.
March 2021: Kick-off meeting in Paris, joint with the celebration of 75th Anniversary of RILEM.
Two general meetings are anticipated per year. One presential, jointly with the RILEM Spring meeting or RILEM Week and the second online.
Finally, online meetings will also be organized with small groups (e.g. WP members) of TC-members.
Alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) is among the durability related problems studied by RILEM committees for many years. The first TC dealing with AAR was established about 25 years ago. The AAR committees are listed hereafter: TC-106-AAR, chaired by Dr. Philip Nixon, TC-191-ARP, chaired by Dr. Philip Nixon, TC-219-ACS, chaired by Dr. Philip Nixon, and the last one TC-258-AAA, chaired by Dr. Borge Wigum. The main activity of these TCs were producing recommendations to characterize reactive materials (i.e. petrography and performance testing) and to prevent AAR in new concrete. In addition, some STARs on different aspects of AAR prevention were published by these TCs. All these documents present important background information for the development of the proposed TC. Moreover, the TC-259-ISR, lead by Prof. Saouma presented a more structural approach, and focussed on activities related to the diagnosis, prognosis and modelling of AAR-affected structures. In the proposed TC we will account for the TC-259-ISR background and will built upon, addressing novel strategies related to AAR mitigation in new and aging infrastructure. Other TCs, like 211-PAE : Performance of cement-based materials in aggressive aqueous environments chaired by Prof. Mark Alexander, TC-221-SHC Self-healing phenomena in cement-based materials, chaired by Prof. Erik Schlangen and TC-251-SRT Sulfate resistance testing, chaired by Veronique Baroghel-Bouny, have some interesting points to have basic information applicable to the mitigation of AAR
Following the current TC-258-AAA, it is likely that a new TC will be proposed by Dr. Jason Ideker as the respective chair. In order to avoid any overlapping of activities and outcomes, a small group of people that are preparing the proposals, including the future chairs Dra. Esperanza Menéndez and Dr. Jason Ideker virtually met on July 23rd and have concluded that there is no overlapping between the proposals and both independent work to be conducted. Nevertheless, both chairs have decided to keep in contact periodically to inform about the activities of the TCs. Nele de Belie, as TAC president and Alexandra Berton, Cluster convener of the TCs 258-AAA and 259-ISR will receive the information about this agreement. Moreover, there are some other international organizations as liaison, especially fib and ICOLD that have developed guidelines and documents directly related to some of the objectives of the proposed TC.
The direct benefits from the proposed TC results are that researchers, academics, infrastructure owners and private companies can find important information about new and convenient mitigation materials and techniques in a single publication. In addition, research associated to the use of alternative/non-conventional materials and producers can contribute towards new possibilities to repair and maintain critical AAR-affected infrastructure under different environmental conditions. All these benefits will increase safety and performance of aging infrastructure affected by AAR.
The TC will produce several documents:
STAR on AAR Mitigation of concrete infrastructure.
Different papers for M&S regarding the results of the experimental tests with alternative/non-traditional mitigation products
Academics, concrete laboratories, energy and construction industries, infrastructure owners, repair companies, infrastructure users and others. The solutions proposed so far to mitigate AAR in the field have not been able to completely suppress the induced physicochemical mechanism, although some infrastructure owners have managed to decrease the expansion rate and thus increase the life span and safety of AAR-affected structures and structural components. All that will be addressed in detail by the proposed TC.
If any of the alternative/non-traditional materials and techniques studied by this TC is successful, the savings in maintenance and security assurance would be enormous. However, being realistic and accounting for the duration of the proposed TC in relation AAR-development in the field, it is anticipated that the main outcomes of the TC would be to find promising and inefficient materials to be used.

Reflecting on the significant anniversaries of major civil rights victories, Sherrilyn Ifill '87 gave a stirring speech exhorting graduating JD and LLM students to join her in "perfecting this democracy." Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, capped a festive celebration of academic achievement that included bagpipes and speeches by Dean Trevor Morrison, Board Chairman Anthony Welters '77, NYU President John Sexton, and graduands David Leapheart '14 and Stephanie Chu LLM '14.
Leapheart is a prime example of such leadership, having earned his commission as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps before entering law school. In his JD graduate address, Leapheart asked his fellow classmates to consider the rooms that they are leaving behind at NYU Law. Not, he said, the physical classrooms, but rather the way students and faculty interacted in those spaces.
Chu, prior to coming to New York for her LLM degree, was admitted to the Supreme Court of Victoria and High Court of Australia, and practiced in banking and finance law. In her LLM graduate speech, she recalled the daunting task of her initial application to the program, and encouraged her classmates to reflect on their original purpose in pursuing a second legal degree, whether it was to build on existing legal experience, to understand the law from a different perspective, or develop expertise in a new area of law.
Ifill, the final and keynote speaker, gave a rousing address that urged every lawyer to find a way to be a civil rights lawyer no matter their chosen career paths.
She noted that 2014 is a year filled with historical significance and anniversaries, including the 50th anniversary of the civil rights act, the 50th anniversary of Freedom Summer, and the 60th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. "What that means for us sitting here today, in all of our diversity, in all of our cosmopolitan sophistication, what that means is that this country as you and I have been privileged to know it, is less than 60 years old," Ifill said.
America is still "relatively new at this thing called equality," Ifill said, and there is immense ground to cover in terms of improving civil rights, from securing voting rights, to addressing mass incarceration, to closing the ever-increasing income gap. Therefore, Ifill said to the graduating class: "I cannot release from your obligation to engage in the work of perfecting this democracy."
For the women graduating, Ifill also had a particular message: "Women, I shouldn't have to address special remarks to you, but I feel compelled to do so…. I advise against listening to advice on how to "do" womanhood," Ifill said, whether that advice is to "lean in," "thrive," "be confident," or any number of the other imperatives addressed towards woman. "Just do you," she said. "You're a woman. You're going to be criticized no matter what course you take."

El Teatre Goya és una sala de Barcelona, ubicada a l'edifici del Centre Aragonès.

Fundat el 1914, el teatre no començà la seva activitat fins al 1916, com a sala d'actes i espectacles del Centre Aragonès de Barcelona. La sala tenia cabuda per a 1.500 butaques, amb platea, llotges a la platea i dos pisos en ferradura.

Obrí el 15 de setembre del 1916 amb La dicha ajena d'Antoni Torner. Ha acollit primeres figures de l'escena, com Margarita Xirgu, la companyia de la qual hi va actuar sovint. El 1921 s'hi va estrenar Dama Isaura (després coneguda com La dama de l'amor feréstec) de Joan Puig i Ferreter. El 20 de març del 1925 va estrenar-s'hi La cabeza del Bautista, de Ramón María del Valle-Inclán, i el 1927 s'hi va fer l'estrena absoluta de Mariana Pineda de Federico García Lorca, amb la Xirgu. També aquesta actriu va actuar a l'estrena absoluta de La corona, obra de Manuel Azaña, el 1931. En els primers anys, era molt freqüentat per companyies de Madrid, que hi representaven les novetats. També hi va actuar Carlos Gardel.

Des dels primers anys, va alternar el teatre amb projeccions cinematogràfiques. Des del 7 d'octubre del 1932 va esdevenir exclusivament sala de cinema, amb el nom de Cine Goya. El 1939 van començar-hi obres de reforma i no va tornar a obrir, com a cinema, el 1947.

El juny de 1986 va tancar com a cinema (l'última pel·lícula va ser Jaws) i l'octubre va recuperar l'activitat teatral després de ser reformat, reduint-ne la capacitat a 716 seients. Des de llavors, pel Goya han passat grans èxits de la cartellera barcelonina com els protagonitzats per Paco Morán, les germanes Gutiérrez Caba, Núria Espert, Maria Jesús Valdés, Àngels Gonyalons, Pepe Rubianes, etc.

El 2004 va tancar i va estar a punt de desaparèixer. El Grup Focus va arrendar-lo i va obrir-lo de nou el 2008, sota la direcció artística de Josep Maria Pou. Des d'aleshores té cabuda per a 520 espectadors, en una graderia inclinada i llotges laterals.

Des de l'any 2012 és patrocinat per l'empresa catalana Codorníu, rebent oficialment el nom de Teatre Goya Codorníu.

PRIORITIES & ENGAGEMENT
Strategic Relationships
ACTION AGENDA
Federal Health Care Policy Priorities
The Public Sector HealthCare Roundtable is a non‐profit, non‐partisan coalition of public sector purchasers from across the U.S. including states, counties, and municipalities that collectively spend tens of billions of dollars annually on health care benefits to provide coverage for millions of employees, retirees, and their dependents.
The Roundtable is committed to ensuring that all public sector employees, retirees, and their dependents have access to affordable, quality health care coverage. The members of the Public Sector HealthCare Roundtable have a long-term commitment to maintaining programs that enable public workers, retirees, and their families to obtain high-quality health coverage at a cost that is affordable and sustainable for the workers, their families, and their employers..
As such, the Roundtable is committed to the following policy priorities in 2019 to ensure a more sustainable, rational health care system for all Americans:
Quality, Affordable Health Care Coverage: We support efforts to ensure that all Americans
have access to quality, affordable health care coverage.
Action Items: Support policies that provide incentives to purchase coverage and sustain
federal and state marketplaces; support efforts to stabilize insurance markets and oppose
those that undermine them.
Relevant Legislation & Regulation: 'Bipartisan Health Care Stabilization Act of 2017 (H.R.
Tools: Letters to Congress, meetings with congressional staff, signing stakeholder letters with
allies, Public Sector Health Care Roundtable member outreach and education.
Health System Innovation and Sustainability: We support policies that constrain health care
cost growth and ensure the sustainability of public programs, including the movement to
innovative payment models based on value and quality, rather than volume.
Action Items: Support efforts to develop innovative models via CMMI; identify and consider
support of bipartisan legislative proposals that move to value-based payment models; support
CMS efforts to revise and improve value-based payment models.
Relevant Legislation & Regulation: Implementation of the Creating High-Quality Results and
Outcomes Necessary to Improve Chronic (CHRONIC) Care Act of 2017 (S. 870);

Health Care Tax Policy: We strongly oppose approaches such as the so-called "Cadillac tax"
and "health insurance tax" on health insurance premiums which would impose enormous
financial burdens on public workers, retirees, and their families while also creating significant,
longer-term disincentives for public sector purchasers to develop and implement innovative
benefit designs that encourage the utilization of high-value health care services.
Action Items: Support efforts to repeal and/or delay the "Cadillac Tax"; support efforts to
repeal the health insurance premium tax.
Relevant Legislation & Regulation: Healthcare Tax Relief Act (S.172, S.80); Middle Class

After years of working to hip hop music as an architecture student at the University of Detroit Mercy, Michael Ford had an epiphany. "Architecture," he says, "has always been influenced by cultural movements. Religion, for example, gave us cathedrals. And hip hop is a cultural movement, too." At UDM, Ford dedicated himself to exploring the connections between music and design, christening himself the Hip Hop Architect.
Now based in Madison, Wisconsin, where his practice, BrandNu Design, specializes in pre-development strategies, he oversees travelling youth camps that introduce a new audience to Autodesk Tinkercad and sits on the advisory board for the Universal Hip Hop Museum, part of a massive affordable-housing complex slated to open in the Bronx in 2022. Ford schooled us in the greatest hits of his burgeoning field of study – which he also brought to the Interior Design Show in Toronto.
1 The genesis of hip hop can be traced to Le Corbusier.
2 One way to attract more youths of colour to architecture is to highlight the abundance of rapper role models.
3 Another way is to use celebrity housing tales as teaching tools.
4 Model-making and music go hand in hand.
5 Tomorrow's museums will be road shows.

Sam and Matt's wedding was lovely but there was something extra special about their day up in Lancashire back in February. Sam is my cousin, so after the service not only did they become husband and wife - but I also gained an extra cousin!
They chose the lovely Inn at Whitewell and had a short walk to the fantastic St. Michaels Church. Sam also had both her dad and her step dad accompany her into church and down the aisle. But that's not all - as each of them had a secret surprise up their sleeves. For Sam, Matt had arranged for a new addition to their family to be brought out during his speech... Dennis the labrador. Which led to lots of tears and the amazing sequence of every emotion in the world on Sam's face in about five seconds.
For Matt, Sam had arranged for an amazing saxophonist to play along to a funky house set. This led to dance floor devastation of the highest form.
Thanks for having me at the wedding - and more importantly welcome to the family Matt!

From humble beginnings as a hospital for ex-warhorses in 1934, Brooke is now the leading global welfare charity for working horses, donkeys and mules.
Video of War Horses of World War 1 and the beginnings of Brooke
Horses, donkeys and mules fought like heroes in WW1, side by side with millions of soldiers. Over eight million equines fell during the war and without them the outcome could have been very different.
On arrival in Egypt in 1930, Dorothy Brooke was determined to find the surviving ex-warhorses of the British, Australian and American forces. These brave and noble horses were sold into a life of hard labour in Cairo when conflict ended.
Searching for them throughout Cairo, Dorothy was appalled to find hundreds of emaciated and worn-out animals desperately in need of help. She wrote a letter to the Morning Post (which later became the Daily Telegraph) exposing their plight.
Dorothy Brooke was determined to find the surviving ex-warhorses of the British, Australian and American forces.
Dorothy's letter to the Morning Post
The public were so moved they sent her the equivalent of £20,000 in today's money to help end the suffering of these once proud horses.
Within three years, Dorothy Brooke had purchased five thousand ex-warhorses. Most were old, exhausted and had to be humanely put down. But thanks to her compassion, they ended their lives peacefully.
Dorothy Brooke knew thousands of hard working horses, donkeys and mules still suffered so in 1934 she founded the Old War Horse Memorial Hospital in Cairo, with the promise of free veterinary care for all the city's working horses and donkeys. The Brooke Hospital for Animals was born.
Dorothy Brooke
Brooke would not exist today if it were not for the determination and passion of one woman.
The letter was written by our founder Dorothy Brooke was published in The Morning Post in 1931, alerting the British public to the plight of ex-war horses.
A timeline of Brooke
Since Dorothy Brooke established the Brooke Hospital for Animals in 1934, Brooke has led the way in providing help to working equines and their owners in the developing world.
Brooke's 80th Anniversary
Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall today spoke about her passion for Brooke at a lunch to mark Brooke's 80th anniversary.

Five for Friday: Games, part 2
Entertainment › Gaming › Society › Five for Friday
Life is a game for these Finnish companies.
Julia Bushueva/Adobe
Big things have been achieved by big names in the Finnish games scene, but rest assured that there's plenty of other great stuff going on as well.
Most weeks are busy for Finnish game studios in the spotlight, but this past one in particular has set tongues wagging more than most. Seriously and Remedy announced some big news, while the story of Futureplay Games bobbed to the surface. For the uninitiated, one thing's for sure: there's much more going on up here than Angry Birds and Clash of Clans.
Wondering what all this could be? Well, last year we gathered together some of the locals who are doing great things in the industry. Now it appears as if our cup runneth over; it's time then to take another look at what's cooking on consoles, PCs and smartphones from up north.
Clam Man
Half-clam, half-human – regardless of gamer fatigue one can't help but be intrigued at this game's protagonist. Clam Man getting fired from a comfortable office job at a mayonnaise manufacturer sets the narrative of this point-and-click adventure game into motion. Get ready to encounter colourful personalities, discover an evil conspiracy and confront the dark underbelly of Snacky Bay, the town where he lives.
The game also underlines the fact that not all Finnish success stories in the games sector are located in Helsinki – far from it. Clam Man was developed in the coastal city of Vaasa and is a shining example of how today's gaming industry and market are global, digital and open to pretty much anyone.
"So, technically, you can make an amazing game and make money off it, no matter where you are," reminded Martin from Team Clam, the studio behind the hard shell-headed hero. "You just need a computer. And your game needs to be really good too. That's kind of important."
Fitness Village
Now that many are back to work after summer here in the northern hemisphere, it's as good a time as any to set some lofty fitness-related goals. A couple of years ago, Fitness Village did exactly that, setting set out to become the world's largest virtual fitness centre with 100 million users. Combining mobile gaming, activity tracking and real-life challenges, the service allows players to remain couch-bound while tackling dozens of puzzles and reaction-based challenges by themselves or against players worldwide. However, when switching to GO mode, they open up a world map of their physical location. A range of location-based missions, such as treasure hunts, sprints and distance challenges, help to get them in motion.
"At some point, you realise that if you put your sneakers on and leave home you can find power-ups and other boosters for your character, making the game faster and easier for you," Klaus Kääriäinen told us.
Once outside, the app further consolidates its real-world benefits by being able to synch with a range of sports tracking devices and fitness equipment.
"It's pioneering stuff," Kääriäinen continued. "There's no other such application in the world that combines these technologies."
Playvation
In an endearing about-face to the globe-conquering antics of Marvel and DC, ask a random group of Finns who are their favourite comic book characters and you're pretty much guaranteed to hear 'the Moomins' from some, if not all of them. These same folks would then be able to tell you why, in a variety of languages – such is the enthusiasm here for expressing yourself in different tongues.
This Espoo-based company brings together these two Finnish passions, helping children to learn a foreign language with the gently gamified help of the Moomins. Playvation was founded on the belief that digital technologies will revolutionise language learning and the realisation that most of the available digital solutions are not rooted in pedagogy.
"The Moomins have a supporting role in the service: the characters promote learning and join children on their journeys," CEO Anu Guttorm explained to us. "The Moomins' values include courageousness, equality and appreciation of nature. These are the kinds of values that are needed today around the globe."
Catland
If you've ever wanted to work behind a bar but, for whatever reason, haven't yet found yourself dispensing social lubricants in the real world, this studio came up with a solution to potentially scratch that itch. Its 2017 sleeper hit VR game debut, Taphouse VR, put players in the middle of the action and garnered such a strong following that last year it closed a successful seed funding round for an undisclosed sum, led by investors and veteran game developers.
The studio's sophomore effort followed on the heels of this welcome cash boost.
"The Spy Who Shrunk Me is a tongue-in-cheek spy adventure, a love letter to spy movies, immersive simulations and other games in the stealth genre," commented CEO Tomi Toikka. "Armed with a shrink ray, you can shrink and dip Soviet soldiers into paper shredders and make them run in a hamster wheel – and shrink yourself to get past opponents. Just don't get stomped."
Round Zero
You finally got a great game on your hands, but are you unsure whether it will sink or swim on the market? Or, worse still, are you worried that its path to launch may be obstructed by the prejudices of the publisher? These Finns let the people decide. The thumbs-up or -down is given by hundreds of live users who share their experience of the game, offering the developers the opportunity to tweak their ideas.
The evaluating party is not made up of just anybody, mind you. They are selected from the tens of millions of active users of Hill Climb Racing, a massively popular mobile game series developed by Fingersoft, the Oulu-based parent company of Round Zero.
"We have no gatekeepers making decisions," told co-founder Daniel Rantala. "Every game developer will get the same opportunity regardless of how good or bad their game is in our opinion."

LATEST TRANSFER...Aubameyang prepares for Chelsea, Waves goodbye to Barcelona Fans!
Fireinthebone August 25, 2022 0
Aubameyang 'waves goodbye' at the Nou Camp
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang appeared to wave goodbye to Barcelona fans on Wednesday night as his transfer to Chelsea edges closer.
Aubameyang – who only moved to Barcelona in January having been jettisoned from Arsenal by Mikel Arteta – has emerged as Chelsea's top striker this summer with manager Thomas Tuchel keen to reunite with the Gabon international, who scored a whopping 79 goals in 95 games under the German boss in their time together at Borussia Dortmund.
Chelsea's first offer of €15m (£12.6m) was turned down last week by Barcelona, who were said to be holding out for €30m (£25.3m) for the 33-year-old, who they signed for free six months ago.
But a report on Monday claimed both clubs were happy with an improved offer from Chelsea of €20m (£16.9m) with add-ons removed from the deal.
Crucially, an offer of that amount would allow Barcelona register £46m summer signing Jules Kounde.
Speaking last week, Barcelona head coach Xavi insisted that the club's main aim was to get Kounde registered as quickly as possible.
"If there is an offer for any of them, we'll see how the squad turns out to be. Now the priority is to register Kounde," said Xavi.
"Kounde is training really well. He's great with the ball. I think we signed a very good player. Now we need to sell some players to register him."
The Barcelona boss was initially reticent to allow Aubameyang to leave but he now appears to have come to terms with his departure.
Aubameyang scored what looks likely to be his final goal for the Spanish giants in their 3-3 draw with Manchester City on Wednesday night.
The striker waved to the fans as he left the Nou Camp, with a move to Stamford Bridge now expected to be completed before Barcelona's next fixture on Sunday.
The midweek friendly between the European giants was organised to raise money for ALS (amyotropic lateral sclerosis) reasearch, in support of former Barcelona goalkeeper and coach Juan Carlos Unzue, who was diagnosed with the incurable degenerative condition two years ago.
Riyad Mahrez's injury-time equaliser followed goals from Julian Alvarez, Aubameyang, Frenkie de Jong, Cole Palmer and Memphis Depay.
"I would like to thank Barcelona and Manchester City for their commitment and sensitivity to our cause," Unzue said. "I also want to thank everyone who bought a ticket, and everyone who donated via the row zero initiative. I would like you to know that everyone from the ALS team – here on the pitch with me – want to keep living and enjoying life."
Friends, Jesus is coming soon. It's the loving-kindness of God that He has kept you alive till now and given you time to hear the gospel. If you have not yet received Him as Lord and Saviour, I plead with you to do it now.
Today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow could be too late.
Say this simple prayer:
Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ.
I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose again for my justification. I repent of my sins and ask for forgiveness. I ask Jesus to come into my heart and reign as my Lord and Saviour.
I receive Him by faith and I am born again.

THIS Rider Profile: Schuyler Dayner
Fifteen-year-old Schuyler Dayner was around horses before she could even walk. Her mom, Heather Dayner, runs Baxter Lane Farm out of Odessa, FL and Shuyler hopes to follow in her footsteps in the future.
Dayner won the 2020 THIS National Children's Medal Final with her horse Gambino.
"I've had my horse Gambino for four years now, so I know him pretty well. I started doing the equitation on him," says Danyer. "He is an Irish Draft Horse, so he's not your typical equitation horse. He's a very good boy; he always goes and he's really willing. Gambino has helped me learn a lot:e has taken me from the 2'6" equitation all the way to the 3'6" in a short amount of time, and he's really given me a lot of confidence.
"I really like that the equitation focuses more on the riding and technical aspects,e," she continued. "The equitation really focuses on the rider and their position, and you really have to work hard for it. I love that in the ASPCA Maclay, because it's 50/50 with the flat phase."
In 2020, when she took the top spot at the THIS National Children's Medal Final, Dayner had had a successful season leading up to the equitation finals. She went into the championship sitting in fourth place in the overall standings and had started receiving additional instruction from Bobby Braswell and Stacia Madden.
"That was the first year I qualified for the THIS Children's Medal. It was my second year trying to qualify, and luckily that year I was fourth in the nation," says Dayner. "I really love the THIS Medal Finals, because it's inviting but still technical enough. I went in fourth after the first round, so it wasn't super intimidating, but I just wanted to have another solid round. I was definitely not expecting to win, but I was hoping to get a ribbon, so it was definitely crazy. All of your hard work finally pays off, and it's really exciting. It was the start of an equitation career for me."
With a few years left in her junior career, Dayner hopes to continue to have success in the equitation and ride for an NCEA team in college. She has plans to become a professional and eventually continue her mom's business, Baxter Lane Farm.

Upgrading to Angular is a waste of time and money!
That's what your boss will say if you don't come prepared. You and I know that Angular is better, faster, and stronger than AngularJS. We know that the CLI rocks. We know that NgRx helps us build better applications at scale. But we're developers — we care about nerdy stuff like state management and tooling.
You think your boss cares about that stuff? Heck no! So what does your boss care about? Spoilers: it's money.
If you're stuck working in AngularJS, selling your boss on upgrading can be tough, especially since doing your job correctly means no one will be able to tell a difference! In this short and sweet talk, Sam Julien is going to teach you how to decode "business-speak" and convince your boss to migrate from AngularJS to Angular. You'll learn how to use empathy and persuasion to help your boss see clearly how the leap to Angular isn't just good for you — it's good for the bottom line.
