EP Review: My Favourite Nemesis - We Annihilate (Seek and Strike)

Finland’s modern metallers, My Favourite Nemesis, return with their crushing new EP, We Annihilate, set for release on 26th April via Seek and Strike Records. Formed in 2017,  My Favourite Nemesis have actively gained a reputation in the Finnish modern metal scene as well as growing worldwide attention. That attention, and over two million streams probably helped too, led to them partnering up…

A wonderful Fassi F1650RA.2.28 L816 xhe-dynamic

Finnish Fassi distributor Grutech Oy works with Nappa Machine Oy to produce an efficient and safe F1650RA.2.28 L816 xhe-dynamic hydraulic crane

Valkeala (Finland) - Grutech Oy can count on the expertise and experience of Nappa Machine Oy, a multi-brand workshop with body shop specialising in crane installation, maintenance and repair. This spring Grutech Oy, Fassi's importer and distributor in Finland, based in Helsinki, prepared a splendid Volvo FH540 five-axle demo truck with a Fassi F1650RA.2.28 L816 xhe-dynamic crane in agreement with Nappa Machine Oy. This set-up has been equipped with all the technology that Italian cranes offer to those who want to work efficiently and in total safety. The value of this package did not go unnoticed, in fact after a few months the vehicle found a buyer who was enthusiastic about the possibility of picking up such a high-performance and technological machine. The owner of the company Nappa Machine Oy, which made the supporting frame and the crane assembly on the vehicle, Mr. Janne Korpivaara, from the beginning of this project had no doubts about offering the market demo set-up with such characteristics.

Automated Waterborne Transportation Project Underway With EU Support

The effort to develop a connected automated waterborne transport took an important step forward as Cargotec’s Kalmar and MacGregor, leaders in cargo and load handling solutions for ports, terminals, distribution centers, and heavy industry, joined the EU-supported initiative as the technology providers.

“Increasing the level of automation in cargo handling onboard vessels and in ports is critical in terms of developing waterborne logistics systems in inter-European cargo transport,” said Janne Suominen, Manager, Offering Development, MacGregor. “We expect that our involvement in AEGIS will provide valuable input for our strategic initiatives to develop world-leading cargo handling technology for connected and automated transport.”

The Advanced, Efficient and Green Intermodal Systems (AEGIS) is a three-year project focused on integrating smaller ships, inland transport and short-sea shipping with larger terminals to create a completely new European transport system. The goal is to develop more flexible and user-centric transport, improve services to rural and urban areas, and revitalize regional ports and city terminals. 

“By participating in this project we want to help smaller ports and inland cargo logistics operators to address the challenges they are facing, which include congestion and scaling problems due to heavy road traffic, ever-larger vessel sizes and increasingly limited storage space as well as labor cost and availability,” said Lasse Eriksson, Vice President, Technology, Kalmar Mobile Solutions.

A three-year project funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program, AEGIS recently announced that it had has secured a €7.5m grant. The project was selected by the EU Commission to show that autonomous ships and port automation technologies can make waterborne transport much more flexible and user-oriented while further reducing the environmental impact of transport in the EU.

AEGIS will develop three case studies located in North Europe that represent typical inter-European transportation modes. One will explore the use of small cargo shuttles to link coastal container ships to rural and urban destinations work with North Sea Container Line in cooperation with the Port of Trondheim. The second will involve DFDS and will link Ro-Ro short sea services in BeNeLux to inland waterways. The third will examine how existing small and medium-sized ports can use automation to facilitate the transfer of cargo from trucks to sea working with the ports of Aalborg and Vordingborg.

AEGIS will be coordinated by SINTEF Ocean in Denmark along with the Institut für Strukturleichtbau und Energieeffizienz GmbH (ISE), the Technical University of Denmark, (DTU), and Aalborg University.

Jokkiskolmikko jalkauttaa autourheilukerhon Ylöjärvelle (Ylöjärven Uutiset)

Lue alkuperäinen artikkeli tältä sivulta: this site

Ylöjärveläisen moottoriurheilutarjonnan parissa puhaltavat uudet tuulet, sillä nyt esimerkiksi jokamiesluokkaa pääsee harjoittelemaan pitkän linjan jokkiskuskien opissa. Ajamisen ohella voidaan perehtyä auton mekaniikkaan ja rakentaa vaikka oma jokkisauto. Mistä on siis kyse?

Marko Koivisto (vas.) Johanna Koivisto, Eemeli Koivisto ja Janne Jokipolvi ovat jokkisharrastajia henkeen ja vereen. Heillä on yhteensä 15 jokkisautoa ja Jokipolvella on lisäksi kaksi F-ryhmän ralliautoa, joita kerho voi käyttää erilaisissa tapahtumissa ja ajotilaisuuksissa. Tulevaisuudessa jokkiskalustoa on tarkoitus hankkia moottorikerholle mahdollisesti vuokraus- ja opetuskäyttöön.

Nuoruudestaan saakka autourheilun parissa viihtyneet pinsiöläiset Johanna ja Marko Koivisto sekä keväästä asti jokamiesluokkaa ajanut haavistolainen Janne Jokipolvi ovat pohtineet, miten harrastamisen autojen parissa voisi tehdä mahdollisimman helpoksi ilman, että aloittamiseen vaadittaisiin isoa rahasummaa.

Syksyn alussa kolmikko päättikin laittaa pystyyn Ylöjärven Moottorikerho ry:n, jonka he povaavat olevan ainutlaatuinen koko Suomen mittakaavassa.

Perustajajäsenten mukaan kerhon toimintaperiaate on tarjota harrastus moottoriurheilun parissa matalalla kynnyksellä ja siten, että kerholaiset voivat harrastaa omien mieltymystensä puitteissa esimerkiksi ajaen ja rakentaen.

– Meillä on jokkisautoja yhteensä 15 kappaletta. Jannella on puolestaan halli Elovainiolla, jossa on mahdollista pitää autoa tallipaikalla, 19-vuotiaasta saakka jokamiesluokkaa ajanut Marko Koivisto selittää.

Marko Koivisto (vas.) on voittanut pitkällä jokkisurallaan yli 200 palkintoa. Perheen kodin seinät on koristeltu sekä Markon että Johannan pokaaleilla. Janne Jokipolvi toteutti pitkäaikaisen haaveensa viime keväänä ja ryhtyi ajamaan jokamiesluokkaa.

Koko perheen harrastus

Välineistön ja hallin lisäksi perustajakolmikko tarjoaa kerhon jäsenille oman ammattiosaamisensa autojen parissa.

– Opettelin nuorena auton korjaamista itsekseni, kun ei ollut ketään, joka olisi opettanut. Nyt tahtoisimmekin tarjota osaamistamme niille, jotka ovat kiinnostuneet autoharrastamisesta, mutta eivät tiedä, mistä aloittaa, Marko Koivisto sanoo.

Perustajajäsenten tarjoama ammattitaito, talli ja työkalut mahdollistavat sen, että isommatkin rakennusprojektit ovat mahdollisia.

– Jos kiinnostusta löytyy, voi hallissa rakentaa vaikka oman jokkisauton alusta loppuun, kolmikko huomauttaa.

Janne Jokipolvi muistuttaa, että autojen parissa harrastaminen sopii kaiken ikäisille. Kiireinen yrittäjä toteutti pitkäaikaisen haaveensa keväällä ja ryhtyi ajamaan jokamiesluokkaa.

Koivistojen perheessä autot ovat sekä vanhempien että lasten yhteinen harrastus.

– Jokkis on koko perheen harrastus. Jos ikä ei vielä riitä kilpailemiseen, voi autojen parissa harrastaa muuten ja olla kilpailuissa kannustusjoukoissa, 19-vuotiaana jokamiesluokassa ajamisen aloittanut Johanna Koivisto lisää.

Jokamiesluokkaa pääsee ajamaan sinä vuonna, kun täyttää 15 vuotta. Pirkanmaa tarjoaa harrastukselle hyvät puitteet, sillä lähimmät ajoradat sijaitsevat Nokialla ja Tampereella Kaanaassa. (Kuva: Niko Suominen)

Myös leirejä ja elämyksiä

Moottorikerhon toivotaan herättävän kiinnostusta etenkin ylöjärveläisessä nuorisossa.

– Jos jotakuta kiinnostaa esimerkiksi lähteä kokeilemaan autoa radalle, järjestämme sen. Ensin tutustumme itse autoon, minkä jälkeen hankimme sopivat varusteet ja lähdemme radalle, kerholaiset sanovat.

Perustajajäsenistö aikoo jalkauttaa autourheilun ylöjärveläisten keskuuteen myös erilaisin tapahtumin ja leirein.

– Tulevina kesinä aiomme järjestää nuorille jokkisleirejä, jos innokkaita osallistujia löytyy. Esittelemme lajia myös tutustumispäivissä, joihin tuomme autoja näytille ja kerromme lajista ja kerhomme toiminnasta, he sanovat.

Myös elämysten tarjoaminen esimerkiksi yrityksille ja ryhmille kuuluu Ylöjärven Moottorikerhon tulevaisuudensuunnitelmaan.

– Jokkisautojen lisäksi käytössämme on muutama ralliauto, joiden kyydissä voimme tarjota uusia kokemuksia erilaisille porukoille, Janne Jokipolvi kertoo.
