"Aalten Synagogue. The Aalten Synagogue is a synagogue in Aalten, Gelderland, The Netherlands, completed in 1857. The building is a municipal monument. After restorations, the building was reconsecrated in 1986. History The first mention of Jewish inhabitants in Aalten dates to the late seventeenth century. Until the French occupation of the Netherlands, the number of Jews in Aalten was limited to four families living. In 1767, the Jews of Aalten opened a synagogue in a former private home. Prior to that time, they attended a home synagogue in Bredevoort. During the mid-nineteenth century, the community grew and in 1857 the present synagogue was opened. The building has a simple layout; the architect is unknown. In 1900, the Jewish community of Bredevoort merged into that of Aalten. During the 1930s, the Jewish population of Aalten increased due to the influx of refugees from Germany. Just over half the Jews of Aalten survived the Second World War by going into hiding; the remainder were deported to extermination camps and murdered there. The population of Aalten offered shelter to a large number of Jewish and non-Jewish people in hiding. At its peak, 2,500 people lived in hiding out of a population of 13,000. The local Reformed community raised money to help them. Two attempts were made during the Second World War to set the synagogue on fire. The interior of the synagogue was destroyed but the Thorah scrolls and ritual objects were hidden in time to be preserved. After the war, there were not enough Jews in Aalten to form an Orthodox minyan, and so the synagogue fell into disuse and disrepair. The building was sold to a non-profit foundation in 1984, who did several restorations to the building and re-consecrated the synagogue in 1986. In 2000, during the 150th anniversary of the synagogue's construction, a plaque was unveiled bearing the names of all the Jews of Aalten who died during the war. In 2005, a new Torah scroll, made in Israel by Josef Giat, was introduced. Today, the synagogue is open for religious services on special occasions and functions more as a museum.

"Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a skateboarding video game developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision, released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on September 4, 2020. It is a remaster of the first two games in the Tony Hawk's series: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (1999) and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (2000) which were originally developed by Neversoft. It is the first major game in the series since Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 (2015). Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 received generally favorable reviews from critics. The game has become the fastest selling game in the franchise, selling 1 million copies within the first two weeks. Gameplay Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a remaster of the first two games in the Tony Hawk's series: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (1999) and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (2000). A skateboarding video game played in a third-person view with a fixed camera, the player must complete objectives, as well as score points by performing tricks to unlock levels to progress through the game. Pro Skater 1 + 2 features tricks introduced in later games such as the revert, spine transfer and wall plant. The player can also create their own skater and skate park with the Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park modes. The game also includes both local split screen and online multiplayer. Development Pro Skater 1 + 2 is the third remaster of the original two games, following Pro Skater 2x by Treyarch in 2001 and Pro Skater HD by Robomodo in 2012. Trying to capitalize on the growing popularity of skateboarding as a sport, the Tony Hawk's series of video games started in 1999 with Pro Skater, which was immediately followed by Pro Skater 2 in 2000. Both games, especially Pro Skater 2, were extremely well received critically and commercially, spawning one of the most commercially successful video game franchises of the 2000s, releasing games on a yearly basis for nearly a decade. However, the original licensing deal between Tony Hawk and Activision expired in 2015 after the release of the poorly reviewed Pro Skater 5, abandoning the franchise for almost five years. Pro Skater 1 + 2 is the first game released by Activision since the aforementioned deal ended, while Hawk partnered with Maple Media to release the independent mobile game Tony Hawk's Skate Jam in 2018.https://toucharcade.com/2018/12/03/tony-hawks-skate-jam-release-date/ On May 12, 2020, Activision announced Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 which was developed by Vicarious Visions using Unreal Engine 4, who previously worked on ports for several Tony Hawk games. According to Vicarious Visions studio head Jen Oneal, the studio obtained Neversoft's original handling code and layered on the code to modernize the handling, as well as consulting with former employees. The team also worked on the level geometry to make sure the player's skating lines were the same from the original games. Further, the team had redone all the art assets for the game's 19 levels to prepare it for 4K resolution but otherwise keep the game familiar to players. Oneal also confirmed that most of the licensed songs from the first two games would return. Three tracks from the original two games are not present, while 37 new tracks have been added. All of the pro skateboarders from the first two games have returned on the remaster, appearing as their current age. The remaster includes several new and younger pro skateboarders; some of which such as Nyjah Huston, Riley Hawk, and Lizzie Armanto had already appeared in the later Tony Hawk games. Jack Black provides his likeness and voice as "Officer Dick", a playable secret character who was also in the original games. Reception Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. IGN called it a "tremendous turnaround" from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, and stated that it was "difficult to believe that they share even a shred of DNA". =Sales= Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 has become the fastest-selling game in the franchise, selling 1 million copies in the first two weeks. In the United Kingdom, the game was the biggest launch for the franchise since 2003's Tony Hawk's Underground and was the second biggest launch in the franchise overall.
