Le musée du Moyen Âge (en suédois : Medeltidsmuseet), appelé auparavant le musée du Moyen Âge de Stockholm, est un musée situé à Stockholm, sur l'île de Helgeandsholmen, et consacré à l'histoire médiévale de Stockholm.

Le musée est situé plus précisément sous l'esplanade Riksplan du palais de la Diète nationale de Suède et sous le pont Norrbro.

Histoire

Dans le cadre de la reconstruction du Parlement suédois de 1978 à 1983, la construction d'un grand parking est prévue sous l'esplanade Riksplan et des fouilles archéologiques sont effectuées, appelées Riksgropen. Afin de préserver les découvertes archéologiques pour la postérité et les rendre accessibles au public, le projet du parking est finalement annulé, et remplacé par le musée.

Le musée du Moyen Âge est construit sous la responsabilité de l'archéologue et directrice du musée, Margareta Hallerdt. La scénographe Kerstin Rydh est attachée à sa conception. L'architecture est confiée à Torbjörn Olsson du cabinet d'architectes AOS Arkitekter. En 1986, le musée du Moyen-Âge de Stockholm, son nom d'origine, ouvre ses portes et remporte un énorme succès auprès du public. La même année, le musée gagne le prix du Musée européen de l'année.

Le musée du Moyen Âge présente les origines de la ville et son développement médiéval. Il est construit autour de quelques vestiges de monuments anciens, comme les restes des remparts de la ville du début du , découverts lors des fouilles archéologiques sur Helgeandsholmen de 1978 à 1980. La surface d'exposition est de  et le nombre d'objets exposés est d'environ 850. Les objets proviennent de toute la zone urbaine.

Le 15 juin 2007, le musée du Moyen Âge de Helgeandsholmen ferme ses portes en raison de la restauration du pont Norrbro. Pendant cette période, le musée bénéficie d'une salle d'exposition temporaire à la Maison de la culture. Le 24 janvier 2010, le musée rouvre ses portes à son ancien emplacement sous le Norrbro, rénové et modernisé.

Le bateau de Riddarholm

L'une des plus belles pièces du musée est le bateau de Riddarholm, un navire de plus de 20 mètres de long de la fin du Moyen Âge, retrouvé en 1930 lors des travaux de dragage dans le canal de Riddarholm situé au sud-est au large de l'île de Riddarholmen. Il ressemble aux bateaux paysans du Moyen-Âge venant du lac Mälaren et de l'archipel de Stockholm pour s'amarrer à Riddarholmen, caractérisés par un mât, une voile et une étrave couverte. Le navire avait été équipé pour la défense de Stockholm au cours de la dernière partie du . La découverte de ce navire est à l'origine directe de la fondation du Musée de la ville de Stockholm et en constitue le premier objet archéologique enregistré. Sa découverte est considérée comme étant peut-être la plus importante réalisée dans la région de Stockholm.

Les remparts de la ville
Une autre attraction du musée est une section d'environ 55 mètres de long des anciens remparts de la ville de Stockholm, excavée entre 1978 et 1981 dans le cadre du réaménagement du Palais de la Diète nationale de Suède (voir aussi le Riksgropen). C'est la découverte de ce mur qui est à l'origine de la fondation du Musée du Moyen Âge.

Pierres runiques
Le musée possède la pierre runique Sö 274, probablement située à l'origine près de Slussen, ainsi qu'une copie de l'inscription runique d'Uppland U53, dont l'original est encastré dans un mur situé à la jonction de Prästgatan et Kåkbrinken dans la vieille ville.

Monastère des Frères noirs
Le musée comprend également deux caves voûtées, préservées des bâtiments du monastère des Frères noirs dans le bloc Vénus au 4 Södra Benickebrinken, près de Österlånggatan dans la vieille ville, qui servaient à l'origine de refuge pour les voyageurs.

I know someone well who really fits this quote well. I want to protect the identity, so I won't call out who it is. Let me say that it is very sad to watch this person, who is indeed a very kind and giving person, look around her and seem to rarely have moments of contentment because she is quite often bemoaning what she sees those around her have (at the moment) that she does not have (at the moment).
Take an introspective moment into your own life. I am sure most of us have moments of jealousy. I think few people live life without feeling pangs of it. Some definitely are more wracked with it than others. The next time you feel jealousy sweeping over you, take a moment to realize you are counting the other person's blessings rather than counting your own. In that moment, count your blessings and be happy for that other person for that great blessing in their life.
A friend of mine did a devotional at our bible study once from the blog of Ann Voscamp about gratitude, Ann's eloquent words on the matter will stick with me for many decades to come. A grateful heart protects one from many mistakes like jealousy and ill-gotten gain. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this great quote!

HomePosts tagged 'Martin Landau'
October 5, 2016 October 5, 2016 tom drama, Holocaust, Uncategorized	Christopher Plummer, Holocaust, Martin Landau, nazi, Remember
Atom Egoyan's (The Captive, 2014) latest movie revolves around an elderly Zev Guttman (Christopher Plummer, The Last Station 2009) with early stages of dementia who has recently lost his wife, both of whom lived in a retirement home. With Zev is Max Rosenbaum (Martin Landau, David and Fatima, 2008) another elderly Jewish concentration camp survivor, like the others.
Physically fit but mentally starting to suffer form dementia, Zev is about to undertake a cross-country journey in search of the man who they believe Killed so many of their family members; a man called Rudy Kurlander. He is aided in this search by M ax who despite being physically limited and confined to a chair, still has a sharp mind and has done all of the research. He constantly reminds Zev of the pledge he made to his dying wife to find and kill the man responsible for so much suffering.
They have the name of the man responsible, as well as the knowledge that he moved to the US some years ago. Max has managed to trace the four Rudy Kurlanders alive in the US who might meet the description of the man in question.
Alone and with a letter from Max detailing everything (to help him remember), Zev sets out on a journey. As he progresses, he meets four very different people, one turns out to be a non-Jewish fellow Holocaust survivor on the edge of death, with whom Zev can spend a few minutes in shared grief. This in contrast to the former soldier, just an ordinary person not involved in the evil of the concentration camps and who claimed, like many others, not to know what was happening at that time. We can look at these people as individuals with a part to play or take the larger view, that they each represent a condition of humanity, the innocent victims, those blind to the atrocities, and as we shall see, the inherited evil of life and those who deny their own identity, hiding from their judgement.
As Zev progresses, with Max's help and support, he eventually tracks down yet another Kurlander, John Kurlander, this time he is a policeman (Dean Norris, Secret in their Eyes 2015) son of a former Nazi. Kurlander jnr. Is proud of his father's past and is happy to show Zev around, until he realises he is Jewish and the attitude changes completely. This is one of the more tense periods of the movie, where we genuinely do not know if Zev will survive it.
Against this Zev's own son (Henry Czerny, The Fifth Patient, 2007) is frantically trying to find him, and manages to traxck him down to the home of the last Rudy Kurlander and arrives at the house shortly after Zev himself arrived. This last home is where this Rudy Kurlander (Jurgen Prochnow, Das Boot, 1981) lives with his daughter and her family, in what can only be described as comfortable surroundings. Rudy does not like to discuss what happened in the war. This is said to Zev immediately, but they meet and begin to talk. Soon after Zev's son arrives the situation come to a climax. Yes the others were Rudy Kurlanders, but this man was not, he had another identity, one known to Zev, even if he did not realise it due to his dementia, when the memory finally falls in to place and the big question from his search needs to be reassessed, Zev has only one "decent" course of action open to him.
Maybe Max knew Zev's secret, more than Zev did. A slow boiler which brings you along, it was released shortly after Landau's passing, but we still have Plummer giving his art to the world.
I need to mark this one out of 10, – 7/10, There are a number of scenes which are powerful in their simplicity, speaking with the young boy on a train, thinking he was his grandson, buyng a gun despite barely being in control of his abilities and the final climax where the truth is exposed finally; they all come together to give a solid production.

Send Letter To…
After Governor Cuomo committed to expanding access to renewable energy for more New Yorkers in his State of the State, the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) has begun to make this a reality through a shared renewable energy program. The electric utilities are gearing up make their voices heard on this. The PSC needs to hear from the public and solar supporters in the next week with more force than the utilities can muster.
http://action.votesolar.org/page/speakout/shared-renewable-energy-straw?js=false
Give Us Feedback on the GELF webpage
We are in the process of building our campaign webpage at gelfny.org. We have a lot of the background pages up now – resources, Q and A, organizational endorsement. In the next month we will be adding information from the RPI students analysis of the Jacobson report.
But we would like your feedback on the background material that is already up. Suggestions of things to add – including links to great things that are already out there that we should now about.
And please like our facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/nygreenelf
Petition for 100% clean energy
We plan to launch a petition drive in the next week or so. Here is our present draft language. Send comments to dunleamark@aol.com
To Governor Cuomo and State Lawmakers:
Take action to curb climate change. We urge New York State to take immediate action to transition to 100% green energy by 2030 (carbon neutral, renewable, energy efficiency and conservation, no nukes, no fossil fuels). We also urge the state to end investments in fossil fuels and related infrastructure; enact a carbon tax; and divest the state pension funds from fossil fuels.
Status of legislative proposals
There are three bills that the campaign and our allies are in the process of drafting and finding co-sponsors: 100% clean energy by 2030; a state carbon tax; and directing the state pension funds to be divested from fossil fuels.
Need for Off-shore Wind
The Jacobson plan calls for 40% of NY's energy needs to be met by off shore wind. At the moment, there are no off shore wind farms in NYS or anywhere in the country (though one in Block Island is close).
Many people involved in trying to stop the LNG facility proposed for Port Ambrose is pushing off shore wind as an alternative. As is the Beyond Coal Campaign.
PAUSE 100% Renewable Lawn Signs for Earth Day
People in Albany United for Safe Energy (PAUSE) have been leading the fight against the oil bomb trains at the Port of Albany.
For Earth Day, they will be having 100% clean energy lawn signs by 2030 sprouting across the Capital District. Some info about the local campaign here.
They are also organizing a bike ride on Earth Day to visit three local sites that have installed solar panels.
There are of course many great earth day events taking place across the state.
In NYC, many are supporting three days of action being coordinated by Rising Tide. From their facebook page. "On April 20th our comrades at Gulf South Rising have asked for a solidarity action in NYC to mark the 5th anniversary of the British Petroleum Oil Spill in the Gulf Coast. They will be doing an action in Houston at BP's HQ there on the same day. We also are going to be working on an action to pressure Gov Cuomo to reject the Port Ambrose LNG. This action would be on April 21st. On April 22nd, Earth Day, we will support city-wide action around climate resiliency jobs. "
Promoting Renewable Energy Locally
In Germany, which is leading the effort to go to renewable energy, much of the work began at the local level. Several of you have asked for info about how to campaign for clean energy at your local level.
Renewable New York has some ideas. http://www.renewableny.org/
The Town of East Hampton adopted a resolution last yearto go to 100% clean energy. You might want to consider a similar resolution for your town.
A copy of the resolution is at http://bit.ly/1F1tnpx
Their article on why and how to go to 100% clean energy is at http://www.renewableenergylongisland.org/why_go_100_percent
Here are some suggestions on how to help your government get to 100% clean energy. http://www.renewableenergylongisland.org/government_support
The international page to go 100% renewable is at http://www.go100percent.org/cms/
The World Futures Council http://www.worldfuturecouncil.org has also been coordinating efforts to go to 100% renewable. They recently passed on to GELF some lessons from their efforts in Germany.
"As Jacobsen`s study also proved, political will and finally a robust political framework to support RE is crucial to transition to 100% RE. Based on several case studies and lessons learnt from around the world, we have identified 5 key policy guidelines that a political framework should include:
#1: Make energy efficiency a top priority
#2: Electrify the heating/cooling and transport sector
#3: Maximise opportunities for citizen participation and the development of business models
#4: Educate and inform citizens and businesses
#5: Adopt an integrated approach to fiscal, economic & energy policy"
Vancouver made history by voting to support a shift to 100 per cent renewable energy sources, becoming the first city in Canada to take this step. Frankfurt, Germany, a city on track to shifting to 100 per cent renewable energy by 2015, has reduced emissions by 15 per cent while its economy grew by 50 per cent. And, they've saved over 100 million Euros in energy costs, a number that's projected to increase. Story here

On the more technical side, The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) Renewable Electricity Futures Study (RE Futures) is an initial investigation of the extent to which renewable energy supply can meet the electricity demands of the continental United States over the next several decades. This study explores the implications and challenges of very high renewable electricity generation levels—from 30% up to 90%, focusing on 80%, of all U.S. electricity generation—in 2050. At such high levels of renewable electricity generation, the unique characteristics of some renewable resources, specifically geographical distribution and variability and uncertainty in output, pose challenges to the operability of the nation's electric system. http://www.nrel.gov/analysis/re_futures/

The Cosby Backwash
By William Murchison
The basic meaning of the Bill Cosby verdict — as we hear and receive it — is that the female accusers of male boors and cads and abusers are finally getting "believed" and not just written off as hysterical.
Ah. Maybe so — when it comes to matters of courtroom evidence. The jury hearing the Cosby case, and delivering its verdict last week, clearly believed that the accusers held higher cards than the accused — for all his celebrity, and in spite of his cultivated image.
The basic meaning of the case seems to me nevertheless different from that which the media have retailed. Different and distressful in ways bearing only scant relationship to a major television star's understanding of his privileges and immunities.
The accusation that Cosby broke "the rules" governing male-female relationships would go over bigger in a historical period where rules were generally known and more or less enforced. This is not one of those periods. We don't much go in for rules.
Why not? For two reasons, I venture.
Rules bind; they restrict; they get in the way; they interfere with personal expression. Which, by the way, is what they are supposed to do, or were, back when the need for rules was more generally acknowledged than it has become.
The rules governing male-female relationships are ancient and too complicated to outline in a small space. However, the idea is that women are owed — used to be owed! — a measure respect and privilege on account of their position in society as wives and mothers.
Shudder, shudder! "Owed"? Yeah, owed — as unfashionable as that notion has become. These days, nobody wants to "owe" something to somebody else. That means the idea of obligation — giving, receiving, offering, foregoing, taking with thankfulness and appreciation rather than greed and lust — trails along in the dust.
Those obligations the "rules" prescribed were mutual — male to female, female to male. But the rule flouted by our erstwhile friend Bill Cosby is, for present purposes, the relevant one: to not take advantage.
Did it always work out so? We know better than that. We know how much worse it would have worked out without the rules, meaning the understandings that upbringing and religion enforced as well as they could. Until...
That's where we get to reason No . 2 for the failure of on-the-ground male-female relationships. We decided that whatever you want to do, you might as well go on and do.
Starting in the '60s and '70s, self-styled "feminists," their eyes on what they themselves wanted as opposed to what repressive rules said they could have, put their shoulders to the cultural fences: harder, push harder, you can hear 'em cracking! Harder, harder! Over, at last, went the repressive rules structure that was meant to keep men on the right side of the rules fence. A woman could live by any code, or non-code, she preferred. She could sleep with, live with, bear children with, or bear no children at all with, the man of her preference. She could get drunk; she could smoke dope.
Odd thing: Men formerly bound to one degree or another by the old rules saw their lady friends getting by with all this self-assertion, this self-indulgence, and decided it looked pretty good. They wanted a piece of the action. That is how it generally works in human affairs. You do as you're supposed to, until you observe others conspicuously not doing what they're supposed to. Then it's Katy, bar the door (unless Katy, as seems the case, has other plans).
Enter "The Coz." Nobody, including the subject himself, can read Bill Cosby's mind. The impressive lessons of life he used to push on his TV show may have been lines in a script and nothing more — nothing, that is, but reminders of how expectations and assumptions are supposed to help keep at bay the rages that tear apart human lives, and with those lives the decencies and kindnesses that make civilization possible in any degree.
Want to do something small but essential to clean up the mess through which the Cosby jurors waded? Pull out a lady's chair as she sits down.

When regular trips to the gym don't bring the desired results, it is worth thinking about what you are doing wrong. Usually, the devil is in the detail, and sometimes the answer is right in front of your eyes.
We at TrendingDirt have collected typical errors many people make — and not just beginners!
Many believe that cardio is useful for the heart. But, in fact, you need to know your limits. An excessively long cardio session can have a negative effect on your cardiovascular system. Of course, do not give up on cardio — just don't overdo it.
Low-calorie diets are generally healthy and can slow the aging of the heart and prevent cardiovascular diseases. However, they contain small amounts of fat, and during a workout, the body needs a healthy dose of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. To get the necessary fats for your body, include healthy fats from salmon and avocado in your diet.
Drinks with electrolytes can do more harm than good to your body, especially if consumed during or after an intense workout. The reason is that, in addition to the minerals, they contain a large amount of sugar. This is why it is worth abstaining from such drinks.
Many people prefer not to drink when exercising, but this is wrong. The body actively loses fluids during exercise. Therefore, do not torture your body by completely depriving it of water. This can lead to poor health.
Regular exercise is not a reason to overeat between workouts. In order to keep your weight in check or decrease it, you should not only exercise but also eat right without overexposing yourself to empty calories. Remember that only an average of 500 kcal is burned in the gym in an hour.
Working out on an empty or full stomach is a bad idea. In such situations, there is a great chance that you simply won't be able to finish exercising because of fatigue and feeling unwell. The best option is to eat 2 hours before going to the gym. This guarantees a successful and productive workout.
After an intensive workout, don't immediately go to the sauna or take a bath. During training, a lot of fluids are lost, and your blood pressure rises. As a result, going to the sauna can result in feeling unwell or even fainting. Instead, drink water and take a shower beforehand.
Do not forget to stretch after an intense workout. It will help reduce the pain in your muscles, which usually appears the next day. After stretching, you will feel much better.
Regular workouts and proper nutrition are the way to a great body. But regular does not mean daily. If you work out too often, you will constantly feel tired. In addition, your body will increase the level of the hormone cortisol, which may actually lead to excess weight. To avoid this, take breaks between training sessions, get enough sleep, and eat well.

An Updated Look At Peter Chiarelli's Summer List
By Alex Thomas May 14, 2018 2:00 pm
By Alex Thomas | May 14, 2018 2:00 pm
A little over a month ago, I posted my annual shopping list for Edmonton Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli. A few days after I posted that, Oilers Entertainment Group CEO and Vice-Chairman Bob Nicholson announced that Chiarelli would be back for 2018-19 and remain GM, and that the club had a plan to get them back to the playoffs next April.
While we may not agree with every step of said plan, it's quite clear that Chiarelli and the front office group do in fact have one. Just over a month after posting the initial list, Chiarelli has already crossed a few items off. Let's revisit, shall we?
The 2018 Shopping List:
1.) A top-six scoring winger: Elliotte Friedman, in his 31 Thoughts piece late last week, mentioned that the Oilers had reached out to Ilya Kovalchuk. While 630 CHED's Bob Stauffer claimed that wasn't true on Twitter hours later, I'll say this; Friedman has a great track record, so if he heard this there was likely some sort of sniffing around.
If that is in fact the case, that means the Oilers acknowledge this issue and are looking for a solution. I suspect we see an addition here between NHL draft day and the first few days of free agency. Good arrows early here.
2.) Address second-pairing RHD: All quiet on this front, but by reading the tea leaves we can see the club is sniffing around options here and could move the tenth overall pick to fill this hole in late June.
3.) Bottom-six penalty killer: Not a peep. Wouldn't surprise me if we see someone like Scott Hartnell signed to a cheap deal in mid-to-late summer.
4.) Figure out the coaching staff: This is halfway completed. The Oilers fired Jim Johnson, didn't renew Ian Herbers' contract, and re-assigned Jay Woodcroft to AHL Bakersfield as the head coach in late April. While there is no word about replacements, Glen Gulutzan has been offered a spot on the staff and is currently considering it. I've been led to believe the same is true for Trent Yawney. We should have answers here soon, which would complete this item before we hit the draft floor in Dallas.
5.) Add a backup goalie who can play 20-25 games: I don't agree with giving an unproven option $2.5 million a year, but that's why I'm blogging and not running an NHL team. The Oilers signed Mikko Koskinen to a one-year contract earlier this off-season, and Peter Chiarelli is gambling that he'll push Cam Talbot as the 1B goalie and play 20-25 games this coming season.
It's a risk, to be sure, but it also crosses item five off of the list.
I thought the Oilers would need to address those five issues to be a playoff team that could really push next spring. So far, before we have reached the midway point of May, the Oilers have crossed 1.5 of those items off.
The club has found their new backup goalie in Koskinen and already made massive changes to the coaching staff, with hiring to come in short order.
This will leave Chiarelli and staff with three holes, albeit big ones, this summer. If the Oilers can pull things together and figure it out, this could get turned around rather quickly.
It's been a fast start for Edmonton's front office this summer. Results may vary, we'll find out in the fall.

Me: "Have you been to any ZIN™ Jam sessions lately?"
Instructor: "I haven't seen a listing for a ZIN™ Jam session nearby".
Me: "Did you know that you can host one?"
Instructor: "I can host a ZIN™ Jam session?"
M: Jeremy, tell us a little bit about yourself and how you became a Zumba® Jammer.
J: I am currently working full time as a scheduling coordinator for a dental office. I started teaching Zumba® Fitness in March 2013. I had lost so much weight attending Zumba® Fitness classes, and I wanted to continue and help others to lose weight and be healthy! I have lost nearly 50lbs and built muscle. I am in the best shape of my life and all from Zumba® Fitness formats, including Strong by Zumba®. I have been a ZJ™ for two years now and cannot believe where it has taken me! Back in high school, I would have never thought in a million years that I would become a fitness presenter. Now, I can't imagine my life without it! Zumba® Fitness has taken me so many places and I have met so many amazing people! Though I do love a good board game and hanging out with friends, Zumba® Fitness is my passion!
M: Jeremy, there are a lot of folks out there that are not sure how to book a ZJ™ for their area. Can you share how they would find a ZJ™ to come to their venue and who can request a ZJ™?
J: Hosting a ZIN™ Jammer for a ZIN™ Jam™ session is super easy! While a ZJ™ may have hosts they continue to work with in the past, we are never opposed to a new host. That being said, ANYONE can host a ZIN™ Jam. It's as simple as reaching out to us via email, text, Facebook message, etc. Many prefer email, and it's super simple as we all have an email from Zumba® Fitness for us to use. Our emails are simply firstname.lastname@Zumbajammer.com. We don't have a database where you can just locate your area and find who comes to your area. The best is to just ask the community. You can go to your District Forum pages at Zumba.com or your District page on Facebook and ask around. Someone will surely be able to point you to ZJ™s who come to your area.
M: What type of places are you willing to do a ZIN™ Jam session? Can people just use their GX rooms?
J: Venues are pretty open. It needs to have a sound system with typical connections for playing music. We prefer a larger space with an upwards capacity of 40 people (30 people max for ZIN™ Jam session plus all their belongings). The flooring should be appropriate for a Zumba® Fitness class, hard wood, smooth, etc. I've had ZIN™ Jams in a stand alone studio, gym studio, gymnasium, racket ball court; open gym studio. Really, if you have a space that can hold people, let's chat! All we ask is that we get to use the space for free. And in return we offer complimentary registrations. For my sessions, I give one comp spot up front, and the second one becomes available once we hit 15 registrations. Not saying we are opposed to renting a space, just know that if we do, we become the host and there are most likely not going to be any comp spots given. So definitely getting to use the space for free is the most ideal option.
M: How many people does the instructor need to have attend for you to come?
J: There is technically no minimum participant requirement, and I have done a Jam with 2 people before. But also know we really want to cover costs for having the session. If we're traveling to a new area, we may ask that you get some commitment of participation BEFORE we follow through and the session gets posted. The reason is simple, the session is for ZIN™ members and we want to make sure they can attend! If everyone is going to be out of town on a weekend, it doesn't make sense to do it that weekend. And we all know dancing with more people is more fun, just like your Zumba® Fitness classes. Hosts (usually the gym/facility) and liaison (usually the ZIN™ booking the event) technically aren't required to do anything else. We ask that you, as a host help share the event, tell ZIN™ in your area about it, and let people know it's happening! It is a plus and we hope that you are connected in the community to get the word out about the session.
M: Does the host/liaison need to provide housing or travel arrangements for the ZJ™?
J: You are never expected to house them, but it's always appreciated if you can and helps cut down on our costs for the weekend. Also note, some ZJ™s may prefer to get their own hotel room, but the offer to house means a lot. I have personally done both. Stayed at a house provided by my host, or someone the host set up, as well as stayed in a hotel.
M: Will the host/liaison be required to provide materials or other items for the ZIN™ Jam session?
J: We don't require you to provide anything else really, but we would never say no if you wanted to go above and beyond and provide simple snacks, water, that sort of thing. Pre-registration is HIGHLY recommended so that we can ensure to have enough choreo note packets for everyone. We generally only print of 1-2 extra copies for walk ins. Let us know if you plan to be a walk-in so that we know to save a packet for you. It's very helpful! Pre-registration also gets you the playlist a few days before the session so you can start to learn the music. Learning the music is one of the hardest parts of learning choreography!
M: Does the host/liaison have to pay you to come to their venue?
J: The ZJ™ is paid by the entrance fee to the ZIN™ Jam session. The cost of a ZIN™ Jam session is always $30 for each participant, as predetermined by Zumba® Fitness. PayPal is the preferred way to register as it's all set up on the Zumba® Fitness website that way, but ZJ™s can also decide if the they want to take cash, checks, credit card, Venmo, etc. I personally accept cards through Square, and occasionally get cash if I have a walk-in.
M: Why should someone host a ZIN™ Jam session?
J: ZIN™ Jam sessions are more than just learning choreo. You get to spend time networking with other local ZIN™, and get inspired! Who knows, you could potentially hear of a place that is hiring and be able to land a class as well! It's not always WHAT you know, but WHO you know. Networking is SO important. And don't forget you get Continuing Education Credits for your group fitness certifications, making attending a ZIN™ Jam session one of the cheapest (and most fun 😉) ways to get your continuing education.
Lastly, just remember to keep an open mind, you may discover something you didn't think you would like, and I promise you'll have a blast at any ZIN™ Jam session you go to! These sessions are for YOU, and you better believe we want you to have fun and leave inspired!

Unfortunately the controls cannot be remapped on consoles. I've passed on the feedback to the team though.
Post is up! https://www.reddit.com/r/sniperelite/comments/blrlzo/rebellion_devs_sniper_elite_v2_remastered_ama/
Later today we will be doing an AMA around Sniper Elite V2 on the Sniper Elite subreddit starting at 4PM BST / 11AM EST / 8AM PST.
https://www.reddit.com/r/sniperelite/
If you have any questions for the devs about the development process for V2 remastered, now's your chance to get an answer directly from them! I'll post here again when the post is live for the AMA.
Hey StrangeLoop,
Sorry to hear you're upset that there is no upgrade reduction for the Xbox One. We really appreciate fans and supporters of our games and would like to do this on more platforms, however given the way the other platforms work, this either isn't possible to do, or comes with too many complications to consider.
Steam makes it incredibly easy to do this because of how the platform works, which is why we're doing it on Steam.
Yep, this is true :)
What features does the Nintendo Switch version support?
• Local Wireless Multiplayer
• Motion Controls
• Pro Controller Support
• HD Rumble
The Swastika isn't present on any of the German soldier's uniforms, and isn't shown elsewhere. Meaning that this game should be playable multiplayer, across all regions if desired (Including Germany).
Hey Lee,
You don't need to pay for PlayStation Plus to download DLC, you can still browse and purchase from the store by just being connected to the internet. You can also disconnect after acquiring any DLC, as long as DLC isn't based around online playability.
Hey Shambo, glad you like the game :)
Sorry for the late response, I've been at PAX then had a holiday so I'm just catching up.
-Will the Switch version of V2 Remastered (and Sniper Elite 3) have a physical release as well?
Keep your eyes on our social platforms or newsletter for news on this. You'll hear it there first if we have any physical copies of the game.
-Will the game(s) support gyro/motion - aiming?
-Is there an estimated price range already?
We haven't announced a price range yet. Again, keep your eyes on social and the newsletter for any updates.
-Will the game(s) support local co-op, split-screen and/or wireless?
Split screen is not available on Switch, however the local wireless and internet play is available for co-op.
- Will the Switch's built-in video capture feature be supported?
Unfortunately there is no HDR support for PC as of yet, I will raise it with the team though to see why.
Edit: After asking about this, I was told that at the time of implementation, HDR on PC didn't have a global standard and the amount of PC games supporting HDR was small, so it wasn't included in the spec.
There isn't a shooting range in SEV2, sorry.
Good suggestion for future games though :)
The gameplay style is not being changed from the original. The reason for this is that the game is a remaster, meaning we want to keep the game as close to the original as possible in terms of gameplay style as that's out intention of our remasters.
There are a bunch of additions and updates to the game, but none of these should affect the style of play.
The animations from the original haven't been changed. Also since the game is a remaster and we're keeping the play-style as truthful to the original as possible, we've kept the same difficulty modes as the original and have not changed the play-style to be more like that of 4.
Only checkpoints are available, like in the original.
We also haven't added any swastikas into the game as we're respecting the original content, visually it will just be improved. We don't feel adding swastikas into the game adds any benefit or improves the gameplay.
As this is a remaster, we're being as respectful to the play-style of the original as possible, so no play-style changes have been made, which answers 2, 3 and 4. The only change to multiplayer is the difference in numbers of people who can play now.
Unfortunately there are no new maps in multiplayer, although there is still a large number of improvements to the game and we have some extra content announcements to come in the future.

Journey to the East: Seeing Blindness Beneath The Banyan Trees
By Deb Galardi, Vice Chair Seva Foundation
In December 2015, I joined fellow Seva board members Lisa Laird (Chair) and Gary Hahn (former Chair) on a visit to Aravind Eye Hospital in Tamil Nadu, India. The founder of Aravind, Dr. Venkataswamy, commonly referred to as Dr. V, was also a founding member of Seva and served on Seva's Board of Directors. Aravind and Seva have worked collaboratively for over 35 years to eliminate curable blindness.
My primary goal for the visit was to gain insight into how Seva and our partners can most effectively expand access to eye care services. Further, I wanted to experience first-hand the quality and compassionate service that I understood to be the foundation of Aravind's work.

Meeting the Need
"To see all as one. To give sight for all." - Dr. V
Current estimates put the number of visually impaired people worldwide at 285 million, with 90% living in developing countries. With 63 million people who are visually impaired in India, Dr. V understood that addressing the need locally would require high volume service delivery at an affordable cost. Over the course of our visit we met with staff at hospitals, vision and training centers and toured an intraocular lens (IOL) manufacturing facility (Aurolab), to better understand how Aravind, now the largest eye care provider in the world, has grown its own capacity to provide eye care services. These meetings helped reinforce for me the importance of:
1. Quality and financial sustainability – By providing high quality services, Aravind attracts patients along a broad economic spectrum. Those who can pay help subsidize those who cannot. The high volume of patients helps keep the costs affordable for all.
2. Innovation – Aravind recognized early on that the high cost of IOLs was a barrier to expanding access to cataract surgeries (cataract is the leading cause of blindness). With the help of Seva Foundation, Aurolab, the manufacturing division of Aravind, was born. Aurolab now produces 8% of the world's synthetic IOL's at a fraction of the cost of other manufacturers.
3. Community Outreach – Providing full access to services in countries like India, where the vast majority of the population lives in rural areas, requires overcoming a number of economic, social and geographic barriers. Aravind has conducted extensive research to identify specific barriers to access in its service areas and has developed programs like outreach eye camps, community vision centers, and transportation and logistical support services in order to serve broader populations.
4. Mentoring – Aravind provides training for staff of other eye care hospitals in India and around the world through its own programs and as collaborators in Seva's Global Sight Initiative (GSI). Collectively, the 10 mentor hospitals currently working with GSI are improving the quality and reach of more than50 mentee hospitals and have helped scale eye care services worldwide.
Compassionate Service
As an economist, the link between sight restoration and economic opportunity is part of what has always inspired me about Seva's work. It is intuitive enough – enable a blind person to see and they (along with their caregivers) may then live more productive lives, with easier access to work and education opportunities, such that entire families may be lifted out of poverty. Walking the halls of Aravind's facilities, one encounters quotes from Dr. V that speak to a deeper inspiration for service one rooted in a sense of universal responsibility and spiritual connection.
"When we grow in spiritual consciousness, we identify with all that is in the world…..It is ourselves we are helping. It is ourselves we are healing."
- Dr. V
Serving the underserved (seeking equity for economically marginalized groups) is an important guiding principle of Seva's work, so it was particularly exciting for me to experience how our work in capacity building – investing in training and development for local partner staff – provides economic opportunities for local women. In Aravind's model, young women are recruited from villages and trained to become ophthalmic nurses, referred to as "Sisters." The Sisters are a critical component to Aravind's service delivery model – providing compassionate and quality in-hospital and outpatient care – and at the same time benefit themselves from enhanced economic opportunities.
Strength in Partnership
"…how we can make a Global effort to conquer cataract blindness. Get others involved."
Scaling eye care services to eliminate curable blindness across the globe requires development of strong partnerships with local organizations. Aravind is one of Seva's longest partners, and a trip to Tamil Nadu India highlighted for me the mutual trust, respect, and cultural understanding and effectiveness that such a partnership brings.
I had always heard that a trip to India was a feast for the senses – a chance to experience sights, sounds, smells and tastes unlike anywhere else in the world. I certainly found this to be true, but even more importantly – a trip to India and Aravind Eye Hospital is a heart opening experience – the direct result of culture and organization that puts human dignity and compassion at the very center of its mission.

A great film by a great director and underrated actor, Ben Affleck. The action sequences were great, it really put us in the middle of the action. My only problem was the ending, I think they all should've died at Fenway or he gets caught trying to escape. Also, what was up with Jon Hamm's hair?
I am really impressed by Affleck's directing. This movie turned out to be a well thought out and executed movie. I found this to surpass 'The Departed'. Believable characters and a thrilling ride. This is worth the watch and more. The shootouts and car chases make this movie an exciting watch, and the brains behind the writing make it a fulfilling one. I am excited to see more Affleck directed films.
Ben Affleck is Doug, the leader of a successful, accomplished bank robber crew composed of longtime friends who have operated as a group for some time. During one particular job, they grab a hostage Claire (Rebecca Hall) into the getaway truck just in case, but drop her off after they have shaken off police pursuit. Unfortunately she lives right in the neighborhood, hence a sufficiently significant risk for the gang to have Doug befriend her at a "chance meeting" to see if there is any danger that she might recognize one of them (despite their masks and her blindfold).
I feel that The Town had the potential for being a very good, or even a great movie right up there with West Side Story, but it fell woefully short of that potential, due to a mediocre cast, an immature script, an ending that fell flat, and the persistence of stereotypes, as well as many over-the-top shoot-out scenes.  I also dislike the message that The Town conveys to me personally;  that people don't have to be held accountable for what they do, and that anything goes.
Gone Baby Gone I watch the trail of the movie. Nice trail. I will watch the full movie.
Gone Baby Gone was a much better film than The Town, and Ben Affleck's brother, Casey, is a far better, more talented actor.

May 19, 2003 at 7:59 am by Daily Nexus Staff
People looking to establish a connection between their lives in Santa Barbara and war in the Middle East are invited to a lecture by essayist and journalist Pico Iyer on Wednesday.
The lecture is scheduled to be held at 7:30 p.m. at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Iyer, the self-proclaimed "mongrel," will examine the connection between Western and Middle Eastern cultures and explain how miniatures, poems and individuals might reconcile these cultures.
Iyer is the author of Video Night in Kathmandu, The Lady and the Monk: Four Years in Kyoto, The Global Soul and Abandon. Born to Indian parents, raised in England and the U.S., and currently living in Japan, Iyer describes himself as one of a growing population of global souls who exist in many cultures simultaneously.
Iyer's lecture will examine why people in the U.S. are drawn toward Islamic art, Sufi poets and Muslim ghazals as much as people in the Islamic world are drawn to the promise and hopefulness of America.
Tickets for Wednesday's lecture are $5 for museum members and $8 for non-members. Tickets are available at the admissions desk of the Santa Barbara Art Museum at 1130 State St. or by phone at 884-6426.

Developers back to drawing board for turbine plans
Credit: 6 January 2015 | www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk ~~
Windfarm developers have gone back to the drawing board following the withdrawal of plans for a scheme outside Montrose.
After a year in the pipeline, Green Cat Renewables has pulled the plug on three 80-metre turbines near Rossie School.
The developer said it will resubmit a smaller application for Tellus Energy on behalf of landowner John Stirling next year.
Mr Stirling said he believes the application is a better solution than nuclear power.
Agent Glen Moon confirmed with Angus Council the firm's intention to resubmit plans for two 51m units "shortly", but was unavailable for further comment.
Objectors said the new scheme "will only produce enough electricity to boil a few kettles", but it will be opposed.
A spokesman for Angus Communities Windfarm Action Group said: "Once again, Green Cat refuse to leave gracefully."
The withdrawal follows a complaint lodged by Ferryden and Craig Community Council chairman, Gordon Paterson.
A string of objections was registered following the application for the turbines on farmland 900m to the west of the school.
Storm (Stop Turbines On Rossie Moor) successfully fought against plans for three 105m turbines when a previous application was lodged in 2007.
Mr Paterson said: "We firstly believe that the objections raised in connection with the previous application remain relevant and, accordingly, for this we cannot support the application.
"Secondly, we believe that the height of the proposed turbines are totally incompatible in an area of outstanding beauty and will forever spoil the landscape."

Disney+ Tested Out its First Livestream During the Academy Award Nominations Tuesday
Tmera Hepburn
All News, News
Surprise! Disney+ is officially in the Livestream business. Well, possibly. Without much fanfare, the streaming service revealed it quietly tested out its first live streaming event during the Oscar Awards nominations Tuesday morning.
The 94th Academy Award Nominations event hosted by Leslie Jordan and Tracee Ellis Ross was live-streamed on multiple platforms, including Disney+ in the United States at 8:15 am.
Disney+ released a statement about the livestream, saying they plan to continues to conduct more tests in the future, so it sounds like this could be something we could get used to.
"We performed a test for live streaming capabilities on Disney+ in the U.S. with this morning's Academy Award nominations," the company said in a statement. "We are pleased with the results and will continue to test as part of our ongoing and iterative approach to deliver the best user experiences to consumers."
This checks out as eagle-eyed viewers noticed a page, https://www.disneyplus.com/espn/details/sport-event/ was added to the Disney+ site map, indicating that the platform may take a page out of the ESPN+ book and stream live sports in the future. India's Disney+ Hotstar service already offers live sports, so it's not too far fetched that the U.S. platform would do the same.

Rosenthal: Selig: I have no desire to expand instant replay
"I don't really have any desire to increase the amount of replay — period," Selig told FOXSports.com on Monday.
Talk of expanding replay beyond boundary calls on home runs resumed after a missed call down the left-field line on a ball hit by Joe Mauer in the 11th inning of Game 2 of the Twins' series against the Yankees.
Mauer's ball bounced several inches fair, but left-field umpire Phil Cuzzi ruled that it was foul. Cuzzi later admitted to the Newark Star-Ledger that he had made a mistake.
"This goes on every time there's a controversial call," Selig said. "I understand the Phil Cuzzi call and others. But frankly, I'm quite satisfied with the way things are.
"We need to do a little work, clean up some things. But do I think we need more replay? No. Baseball is not the kind of game that can have interminable delays."

I don't see anyone really addressing the problem in #69 (or similar issues.) Whatever you think of the NFL replay system, there is one thing it doesn't do, it doesn't change anything after a whistle has been blown. Even if replay clearly shows a runner wasn't down- if the whistle blew, the play is/was dead.
Effectively all "foul" calls are just like whistles (assuming no catch is made of course.) I don't see any practical way to work around that without having umpires trying to re-construct what would have happened had they not blown a call. I'd prefer not to deal with that.
I don't see the problem with assuming the ball is fair and playing it out, then resetting if the ball is determined to be foul on replay. Foul calls are like whistles in football, and like whistles, if replay is in place, they shouldn't be used unless the judgment is certain.

Foul calls are like whistles in football, and like whistles, if replay is in place, they shouldn't be used unless the judgment is certain.
I'm sure that Phil Cuzzi was "certain" that Mauer's ball was foul when he made the call. You're asking MLB umpires to completely change the standard they've used throughout their careers.
103. JMPH Posted: October 12, 2009 at 10:00 PM (#3350190)
I can't imagine why anyone would support expanding replay without first making a concerted effort to clean up the quality of the umpiring. It's like saying you should always wear gloves when you use the toaster because a broken one might electrocute you. (The bad umpires are the deadly toasters. It's a simile.)
104. More Dewey is Always Good Posted: October 12, 2009 at 10:03 PM (#3350194)
I see your point of view, but surely you can understand how replay has been beneficial from the NFL's perspective.
Sure. It stops the gamblers from whining about how this or that call ruined the point spread. The NFL knows where their bread is buttered.
105. ERROR---Jolly Old St. Nick Posted: October 12, 2009 at 10:04 PM (#3350195)
If baseball really cared about that, they'd raise the salaries of minor league umpires by about 200%, so that it wouldn't be such a complete hit-or-miss proposition for someone who thought about making it into a career.
106. Jack Keefe Posted: October 12, 2009 at 10:08 PM (#3350198)
Hey I all ways wear gloves when I use the Toaster Mrs Keefe did not raise no dumbies. Toasters today are dangerus Al they operate at a amped-up voltage why we very narroely avoided Tradgey this summer when A.J. Pierogi tried to grab a Frosted Brown Sugar Synonym Poptart out of the clubouse toaster and sustained 2nd degree burns when he dropt it down his Sliding Shorts. But German Die said his Mom all ways put butter on a burn so we spread A.J. with some Lurpak Danish Butter and he was OK only he squished a little every time he squated behind the plate that night so no more Poptarts for me.

Wrong thread. Move along.
108. Morty Causa Posted: October 12, 2009 at 10:20 PM (#3350207)
By the way, there, Andy, what you said at the beginning of the thread with regard to umpires and their "own personal" strike zones is right on. An ump being allowed to have his idosyncratic strike zone is like a cop having his own rules as to what constitutes running a Stop Sign. Umps should have to review in film their calling of strikes with the idea of correcting and improving their performance, and someone with the commissoner's office or the league office should regularly monitor that they do that, especially instilling in them that there is no such thing as a personal strike zone. Umpiring is not artistic expression. You call it as it is defined in the rules. And if you don't, you should be reprimanded and, if necessary, punished, even fined, supended, or expelled. Some things are that simple.
109. Greg Pope Posted: October 12, 2009 at 10:52 PM (#3350228)
I don't even know if the challenge system has done all that much to make game-calling "better". Things are moving so quickly that half the time replay is totally unclear as to what the "correct" call should have been, and it's a coin-toss as to whether the call on the field will be overturned or not.
And, from an aesthetic standpoint, it sucks most of the excitement out of the moment. Rather than being excited (or pissed off) about a fumble, everyone's waiting around while the referee tries to determine whether his knee was down before he dropped the ball or not.
The only, and I mean only, problem with the NFL's replay system is the moronic requirement that the ref on the field review the call. By the time the coach on the field has thrown the challenge flag, the TV audience has seen the replay from each angle multiple times. It's plenty of time for a ref in the booth to have made a decision. The coach throws the challenge flag, the booth ref can radio down to the ref on the field within 5 seconds what the decision is, the game goes on.
It's idiotic to slow down the whole game so that the ref on the field can make the final call.
110. Iwakuma Chameleon (jonathan) Posted: October 12, 2009 at 11:22 PM (#3350264)
Hockey might be the only team sport that is better to watch in person than on TV.
This is an absolute truth. Hockey is incredible live.
Anyway I'm not sure what the problem would be with having a booth ump of sorts. If a replay comes up with as egregious a call as the Mauer one, he signals down so they can correct the call. You could even stipulate the situations in which he could signal, to cut out the fluff - after the 7th, game within 3 runs, whatever.
111. AJMcCringleberry Posted: October 12, 2009 at 11:23 PM (#3350265)
I didn't read the whole thread, so I don't know if anyone suggested this.
I don't see what's wrong with replay on plays where the umps don't need to make judgement on where the runner(s) would end up. Like the Mauer ball, he's on second if it's a fair ball. Or safe/out calls with no one base.
There can be someone in the booth looking at all the plays, then if the umps decide they need a replay they ask him and he has an answer in 2 seconds.
112. Zac Schmitt Posted: October 12, 2009 at 11:32 PM (#3350270)
In essence, I agree, but my problem with t his and other suggestions is that people would complain no matter what. If they awarded Mauer second because the ball went over the wall and then the next inning a Yankee hit a similar ball which was initially ruled foul and didn't bounce over the wall, and subsequently that Yankee was only awarded first after the replay, you don't think every Yankee fan would feel punished because the hit didn't happen to go over the wall?
113. The Lovesong of J. Alfredo Griffin Posted: October 13, 2009 at 12:28 AM (#3350317)
Why it is important how fans feel? They're not part of the game.
114. AJMcCringleberry Posted: October 13, 2009 at 01:14 AM (#3350393)
the next inning a Yankee hit a similar ball which was initially ruled foul and didn't bounce over the wall, and subsequently that Yankee was only awarded first after the replay, you don't think every Yankee fan would feel punished because the hit didn't happen to go over the wall?
There wouldn't be a replay in that situation.
115. Zac Schmitt Posted: October 13, 2009 at 01:18 AM (#3350396)
And Yankee fans wouldn't feel cheated by that?
Sucks for them.
117. Misirlou cut his hair and moved to Rome Posted: October 13, 2009 at 01:21 AM (#3350400)
Which is even worse.
edit: comment was in response to #114.
It currently sucks for Twins fans. How is your scenario any better?
Huh? There's no replay for that play now, how could continuing to have no replay be worse?
The Mauer play is easily fixable. Ball bounced over wall, replay says fair, guy on second. No questions about what would've happened on the bases.
Because what you suggest is replay for some plays but not others, which hardly seems fair. Again, the Yankees would be punished because the Twins were lucky enough to have a ball go over a wall. As it stands, a blown call is a blown call and them's the breaks. It would seem harder, to me at least, to accept not getting a replay whereas your opponent did for a dumb reason like that.
I guess I see your point in that at least some plays would be fixed, but replays for some and not for others? I can't really get behind that.
Edit: Your proposition seems just as reliant on luck as the current one. I don't see how that fixes it.
But there already is replay for some plays and not others.
Any replay system is going to have replay for some plays and not others.
No matter what, someone is going to be unhappy. Your suggestion seems tailor made to only the situation which occurred the other night rather than a solution which works to improve the game in all situations.
124. Mike Emeigh Posted: October 13, 2009 at 01:40 AM (#3350476)
No, if baseball really cared about that (a) they wouldn't leave the care and feeding of minor league umpires to the National Association until they reach AAA, and (b) they would have a defined promotion path for minor league umpires, just like they do for players. They would also have a mandatory retirement age for major league umpires.
But MLB really doesn't care about the umpiring.
-- MWE
125. David Nieporent (now, with children) Posted: October 13, 2009 at 03:41 AM (#3350609)
They would also have a mandatory retirement age for major league umpires.
They might, however, care about not being sued; mandatory retirement ages are illegal.
Except for Part 121 pilots.
Yes, and police and firefighters, too. Didn't really think any of these exceptions were worth noting in this context.
128. Joe Willie Mammoth Posted: October 13, 2009 at 06:19 AM (#3350665)
I like the shock system suggested in post #76. Didn't they try this with Cliff Clavin once in Cheers ("Dance, mailman, dance!")? Don Denkinger would have looked like a burnt piece of toast after about 3 games.

HERA is a distemper survivor from when she was a small pup. She is strong, she is energetic, she is lively, and she is a big love bug.
HERA was adopted out at 3 months old, but her family didn't have time to spend with her, chanelling her mental and physical energy, so when she was outside, she got bored, and dug and basically didn't have much discipline.
HERA has been back with the rescue now, and within the few months she has been here, she has learned a lot. She is very well socialised with dogs and cats. I have not had time to work with her, since I have so many other dogs, but she has picked up from the other dogs.
HERA needs and deserves a family that can give her the love and attention that she needs. She has so much to give, she is devoted, loving, affectionate, and so much fun.
If you think you have space in your hearts and your home for HERA, and the energy, either email for more information, or go to our website to complete the application.
