The Jewish Monuments in Thessaloniki Center, Part I

Thessaloniki's landmark: White Tower
The remaining Jewish Monuments in Thessaloniki (Salonika), Greece's second-largest city and port, are not reflecting the long, flourishing, and vibrant 500 years old history of the Greek Jewish in the city. The scarcity of Jewish Monuments in Thessaloniki is mostly due to:
The big fire of 1917 mainly affected the predominantly Jewish part of the city
The German occupation, during WWII, when all synagogues but one, were demolished
Main Road in modern Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki was founded in 316/315 BC by the Macedonian General Kassandros.
Thessaloniki's prominent geographical position developed the city from its foundation as an important port, economic and commercial center of Macedonia, and the Balkan Peninsula, advantages that it has maintained for all those 2,300 years.
The remains of Thessaloniki after the fire
The great fire in 1917, destroyed most of the centuries-old buildings. Yet, still today the city's long history is evident in its many Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Jewish monuments scattered in the older part of the city.

In this post, you will read about the Jewish Monuments in Thessaloniki center, with information regarding access and visiting hours where applicable. Most of these places are grouped from the geographical point of view in two main areas (and two different posts) and they are all within easy walking distance.
One at the old Thessaloniki center close to the port which was also the center of Jewish life.
PART II of Thessaloniki Jewish Monuments: One to the eastern part of the Thessaloniki which was a mainly residential area for the upper class

When the Catholic Kings, Ferdinand II and Isabelle, completed the reconquering of Spain from the Mores, in 1492, they imposed a dilemma on the country's numerous Jews: convert to Catholicism or be expelled. Among those who opted for expatriation, a larger number headed to the Ottoman empire which was much more tolerant of other religions than catholic western Europe.

The sultan Beyazit II (reigned 1481-1512) welcomed the Jews fleeing Spain and allowed them to settle in many of the cities of his empire in the Balkans and Asia Minor. Sephardic Jews (from Sefarad, meaning Spain in Hebrew) possessed many skills in a wide range of fields that the Ottomans took advantage of. Eventually, their most important center became Thessaloniki where the Sefardic Jews soon outnumbered the pre-existing Jewish communities.

The Jews formed the largest religious group in Thessaloniki and during certain periods the absolute majority, hence the city was also named "New Jerusalem" and "Madre de Israel" (Mother of Israel). It is normal that the importance of Jews in the life of the city would result in numerous landmarks like synagogues, schools, social care institutions, etc. But as already mentioned, unfortunately, this is not the case.

Monasteriote's Synagogue
Monasteriote's Synagogue – Credit Parallaxi Mag
Most synagogues in Thessaloniki were named after the origin of the Jews using them. This one was the synagogue of the Jews from Monastir (today Bitola in North Macedonia). It was built between 1925 and 1927. This is the only synagogue that survived after WWII in its prewar state, as it was being used, during the war, as a warehouse by the Red Cross.
Monasteriote's Synagogue – Exterior
Its operation was interrupted for some time in June 1978 due to the damages suffered as a result of the important earthquake that hit the city. It was restored in the mid-2010s. You will admire, among others, the central luminaire. After the war, this had been found in a church from which it eventually found its way back to where it belonged.

There is no evidence today showing that this was the eastern border of the central ghetto of Thessaloniki. The ghetto operated for a few weeks, from 25 February 1943 until its residents were transferred to the eastern ghetto, close to the railway station from where they were loaded onto the trains to Auschwitz.
Bank De Salonique: Credit JanLandschreiber
The Banque de Salonique was a regional bank headquartered in Thessaloniki and Istanbul. Created in 1888 under the initial leadership of the Salonica Jewish Allatini family with the participation of several other establishments in France and Austria-Hungary. During WWII, most of the bank's staff in Thessaloniki fell victims to the destruction of the Jewish community by the German occupation forces, which also commandeered the bank's building and burnt its archive. In 1947 the Thessaloniki branch and building were sold to the Bank of Chios.
The headquarters of the Banque de Salonique was designed in 1905 by Vitaliano Poselli and completed in 1909, on the ground that was previously the large garden of the Allatini family house, shown in this old postcard:
It was one of the few buildings in the neighborhood that survived the Great Thessaloniki Fire of 1917. Its clock was stopped by the 1978 Thessaloniki earthquake and, in memory of that event, stands still at 11:05. Nowadays it operates as a shopping gallery named Stoa Malakopis.
INFO: Malakopis Gallery, 7 Syggrou St.
Saul Gallery – Arcade
This was built by the architect Eli Modiano for the banker Saul Modiano, between 1867 and 1871. The building was partly destroyed by the 1917 fire and was rebuilt in 1929. It is a historical landmark of the flourishing period of the Modiano family which started with Saul, a poor employee, who eventually became one of the richest persons in the Ottoman Empire.
Location: Ermou & 15 El. Venizelou St
Thessaloniki Jewish Museum – Glow.gr
The building was completed in 1906 to be used as a commercial gallery. It housed, among others, the Bank of Athens (1906-1925) and the Jewish newspaper L'Indépendant (in French) (1909-1941). It is one of the rare buildings in the city center not to have been destroyed by the 1917 fire.
The museum comprises two levels: On the ground floor are presented tombstones from the old Jewish cemetery that was lying outside the city walls, on the ground of today's University Campus. The upper floor houses the permanent collection "Thessaloniki Sephardic Metropole" as well as collections on social, religious, and family life and on the Holocaust. Starting in 2005, the museum acquired a large number of items related to the Jewish-owned businesses of Thessaloniki.
Jewish Museum – ekathimerini
All items are included in digital databases. Moreover, visitors can use the "xenagos" system that provides guiding services through the use of an individual i-pod-like device.

Eleftherias Square, 11 July 1942
This is where male Jews from 18 to 45 years of age were summoned to gather on Saturday 11 July 1942. For about six hours, some 9000 Jews were subjected to various humiliations mainly in the form of exercises under the summer sun.

The ultimate purpose was to have them registered in order to enroll them in forced labor. That day was called "Black Saturday".

The square is meant to become a Memory Park. However, for the time being, it is used as a parking lot.
Thessaloniki Holocaust Memorial
The Thessaloniki Holocaust Memorial was created by the Serbian sculptor Nandor Glid whose parents perished in Auschwitz. It was installed here in 2006 after having been transferred from a rather remote location where it was first installed in 1997. Every now and then it gets vandalized by ultra-nationalist groups.
Location: Eleftherias Square, Nikis Ave. & El. Venizelou St.
Jahudi Hamam in the Louloudadika area – Credit Xinomavri
The Jahudi Hamam possibly dates to the 16th century. Its name means "Bath of the Jews", as the area was predominantly settled by Sephardic Jews. It was also named Pazar Hamam, due to its location in the central marketplace of the city. Its surface is 750 sq. m. and it is presently used as a cultural venue.
Yad Lezikaron
The Synagogue of Thessaloniki is named Yad Lezikaron and is dedicated to the memory of Holocaust victims. It was inaugurated in 1984 following the repair works made necessary by the 1978 earthquake. It lies on the site of a small bethel also known as "Cal de la Plaza" (Market Synagogue), operating since 1921 to serve the religious needs of the numerous Jewish working in the nearby marketplace.
Location: 24 Vasileos Irakliou Street

Modiano is a covered market inaugurated in 1925. It was designed by Eli Modiano, a civil engineer from a wealthy Jewish family, and the architect J. Oliphant. It was built on the ground occupied, before the 1917 fire, by the Talmud Tora complex, a landmark of Jewish Thessaloniki, which comprised a synagogue and a school.
Restored Modiano Market – Photo Kathimerini
The Modiano market used to house more than 100 food stores as well as a few bars and restaurants. From the 1990s the market was gradually abandoned as the tenants were unable to renew their licenses due to sanitary reasons. As a result of the lack of maintenance, the building was declared structurally unstable and was shut down in 2016. Eventually, the market was acquired by the Fais Group which undertook a complete restoration project, from September 2020 to October 2022, costing almost 10 million Euros.
The new Modiano market houses about 75 food stores on the ground floor. On the 1st floor, one may find restaurants as well as an open space for cultural and other events. The market opened again its doors on the 5th of December 2022.
German-occupied Salonika, 1942-1943 – US Holocaust Memorial Museum
The Old Train station lies at the western entry of Thessaloniki. Its construction by a company owned by baron Maurice de Hirsch was completed in 1874 when Thessaloniki was connected to Skopje and further, in 1878, to Mitrovitsa, in Kosovo. When the ottoman railway was connected to the Serbian one, in 1888, Thessaloniki could be reached by train from central and western Europe.
Thessaloniki Old Station
The quarters close to the station were home to many Jews. Next to the station had been created, by the Jewish community, a settlement after the fire of 1890 on land acquired by baron de Hirsch. This area was fenced and isolated by the Germans on 4 March 1943. The Jews living there were deported by rail to Auschwitz-Birkenau on 15 March 1943.

The site was subsequently used as a transit place for all Jews that were deported. The last train left the Old Station on 7 August 1943.
Commemorating Plaque of the 50.000 perished Greek Jews of Thessaloniki
On the wall of the Station, a commemorating plaque reminds the role played by this Station in the fate of the Thessaloniki Jews. The baron Hirsch settlement has been to a large extent demolished after WWII.
The old Jewish cemetery of Thessaloniki contained about 300.000 graves in an area of more than 85 acres. From December 1942 until April 1943 the graves were destroyed, the materials used for road and building construction, and the bones were scattered.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli military said on Tuesday initial findings from an investigation into the killing of a Palestinian nurse during protests on the Gaza border showed that she was not shot deliberately.
Gaza health officials and witnesses said Israeli forces shot dead 21-year-old Razan al-Najar, a volunteer medic, as she ran towards the border fence, east of the south Gaza town of Khan Younis, in a bid to reach a casualty last Friday.
The Israeli military said Palestinian militants had attacked its troops along the border with gunfire and a grenade.
"An initial examination regarding the incident ... found that a small number of bullets were fired ... and that no shots were deliberately or directly aimed towards her," part of a brief statement issued by the Israeli army said.
The investigation was continuing, the statement added, and findings will be examined by senior commanders and then passed to military prosecutors for consideration.
Thousands attended al-Najar's funeral in Gaza on Saturday, including some people she had treated when they were wounded at previous border protests.
Gaza medics say the Israeli army has killed 120 Palestinians during the weekly Friday protests launched on March 30 in the Gaza Strip, an enclave controlled by the Islamist Hamas group and long subject to grinding Israeli and Egyptian embargoes.
Israel says many protest participants were Hamas members and militants trying to breach the border and launch attacks.
The Palestinians say most of the dead and the thousands wounded were unarmed civilians against whom Israel was using excessive force. Israel has drawn international condemnation for its use of deadly force during the mass demonstrations.
The protests have seen thousands gather to demand the right of return to their families' lost homes or lands, now in Israel.
Israel rules that out, concerned it would lose its Jewish majority. Two-thirds of the two million Palestinians in Gaza are refugees or their descendants.


« Tie-Dye…. Enter a world of color!
Yesterday after school we had a wonderful group of students stay after and create cake pops. The recipe was given to me by a friend who had found it at allrecipes.com – you can see the Cake pop recipe here.
Ms. Duhring and I had the kids up to their elbows in chocolate dipping, and we forgot to take pictures because we were having such a great time! So next time we do this activity (on March 22nd) we will have to be sure to take pictures and post them for everyone to see. While this is not the most nuttritious recipe – It is a fun treat to make with all age groups – Here are a few pointers that I took from those who had made them already, as well as variations on them with different cake mixes to use and icings to add to them. Check them out and enjoy! (I did find some other great cake pop ideas at bakearella.com – you can see those HERE) The pictures below are from there…. ENJOY!
#2) Let the cake COOL for at least a half hour! Don't mix in the frosting while HOT! You will get a gooey mess!
#3) I used a hand mixer to mix the cake and frosting. I used a dark chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting.
#4) Put this mixture in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 3 hours but I did it overnight and it was perfect.
#6) Stick the balls in the freezer for an hour.
#8) Using a toothpick, pick up the balls and dip in the chocolate. Using a second toothpick in the other hand help the ball slid off the toothpick.
NOTE:If your balls fall off the toothpick into the chocolate they are not frozen enough. 9) Place in refrigerator to set.

As an auto engineer, Wilfried Bockelmann's dream was an umbrella that could be stowed in the driver-side door panel.
When he headed engineering for Volkswagen AG subsidiary Skoda, he got close with the Skoda Superb sedan.
He put an umbrella slot in the Superb's rear door, which had a drain so the umbrella could be stowed even when wet.
When he arrived at VW headquarters in Wolfsburg almost four years ago to head VW brand engineering, Bockelmann put the umbrella compartment exactly where he wanted it: in the driver-side door of the new VW Passat.
VW has even designed and engineered an umbrella for the slot that is large enough for two people, has an automatic opening and closing system and uses mold-resistant material.
And, like the Superb's, the Passat umbrella slot has a drain.


How can educational technology help communities in a time of global refugee crisis? This app addresses the big question of what educational technology can do at the level of basic physical, emotional and social needs - to support the orientation, self-organisation and connection of refugees in crisis.
In a time of fear and confusion, this app aims to provide refugees with a secure and accurate picture of where they are, where they need to go for help and what is available to them.
This app would enable refugees to self-organise to find, rate and review the location of essential services and safe havens.
GOOD NEWS!! The App you've all supported is due to be launched later today! After a few little hiccups along the way (outside of anyone's control) we are ready to launch. So get ready to DOWNLOAD THE APP and then share, share and SHARE some more so that SOLE Connect can provide a means of community and support to refugees and others who need it most.
3. rate the app in the app stores.
THANK YOU for your continued support. Now that the app is live, let's get it used by the communities who need it.
Congratulations on setting this up!
Amazing idea, clearing space on my phone to make way for the app now!
Brilliant that you have taken it on Jenny. Where's the link to share with my networks?
Supporting Jenny's idea simply involves clicking the support button below. You can also help design the app after the movement reaches its target.

Episode 0006: Amazing: Spider-man: Renew Your Vows, Volume 2: The Venom Experiment (Part One)
Adam Graham takes a look at Amazing Spider-man: Renew Your Vows, Volume 2: The Venom Experiment with a look at the alternate universe Spider-Family and the reason they exist. He discusses Issues 6 and 7 as the Spider Family meets the X-men.

Spiderman and family meet the X-Men, fight the Lizard and face a giant Green Goblin robot. Find out more about it on today's episode of the Classy Comics Podcast.
Welcome to the Classy Comics Podcast where we search for the best comics in the universe. From Boise, Idaho here is your host Adam Graham.
Welcome to today's episode of the Classy Comics Podcast. If you have a comment email it to me classycomicsguy@gmail.com. Today we're going to be talking about the trade Amazing Spiderman: Renew Your Vows Volume Two: The Venom Experiment, collecting issues Six through Twelve of the ongoing Amazing Spiderman: Renew Your Vows series. So, what's this series about? To explain that you have to begin in the 1980s with the marriage. In both the comics and comic strip Spiderman, AKA Peter Parker, had been a bachelor from the 1960s on. He had a series of women in his life: Betty Brant, Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, Deborah Whitman and the list goes on and on. However, invariably, tragedy would strike or Spiderman would come in between Peter Parker and happiness in one way or another.
However, the decision was made for Peter Parker to marry Mary Jane Watson and it was a big to-do. It was done in both the comic strip and the comic books, as well as a live action ceremony performed by Stan Lee himself at Shay Stadium. However, many comic book writers chafed against the marriage, and really struggled with how to write it well. The best writers managed to come up with interesting angles on the marriage, while others could only portray Mary Jane as someone who was constantly worried about Peter, and serving no constructive purpose in his life. And increasingly Marvel looked at ways to get rid of the marriage in order to avoid having Peter seem too old, and they tried several things. There was a period where Peter and Mary Jane were separated and there was a period where they actually killed Mary Jane off. Neither of these were accepted by fans and Mary Jane returned alive, so this led to One More Day.
In One More Day Peter's Aunt May is critically wounded by a gunshot wound. Peter turns to help from anyone in the Marvel Universe he can find it from including Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom and Doctor Octopus and Reed Richards of The Fantastic Four but all are powerless against a bullet wound. They might be able to bend reality, summon dark forces from other dimensions, bend time itself and threaten creation with utter destruction, but a bullet wound – that's just a little bit too hard for them. So, Peter ends up trading his marriage to Mary Jane to Mephisto, the Devil character of the Marvel Universe in exchange for Aunt May surviving and his secret identity being restored which was revealed after civil war.
For many fans, One More Day led to a parting of the ways with Spiderman and disillusionment with Marvel Comics because it represented a betrayal of the character of Peter Parker and Spiderman. Not only had the comics portrayed Peter as someone who cared about morals and responsibility, doing the right thing and that was all betrayed here because ultimately, according to One More Day, the big reason he couldn't let Aunt May die is his inability to take responsibility for his own sense of guilt about the person who shot her having done so because of his activities. And it…also Spiderman has always been a character that rue, changed and advanced in life. When Peter Parker became Spiderman he was sixteen years old, and Stan Lee made the really monumental decision in Amazing Spiderman Number Twenty-Eight to have him graduate from High School. This was really something that had not been done. If a character was in his thirty teenager he would pretty much stay that way for decades on in. This was something that marked Marvel apart. Spiderman was a character who aged, who had new experiences. He graduated college, he went to Grad school. One More Day tried to take him back to what the writer Joe Quesada imagined as the good old days and thus violated the character.
Fan reaction remained negative. The comic strip tried to follow suit with undoing the marriage. They didn't bother with something like One More Day, they just announced that they were changing it so that Peter was now single and back in college. The reaction from readers was so vociferous that the comic strip reversed course, but no such luck with the Marvel Comics which is insisting that this will be forever the way it stands. However, as part of Marvel's Secret Wars event from 2015 – not to be confused with the very popular 1980s mini-series – there were various battle worlds created and one of those was written by Spiderman author Dan Slott who created a world where the marriage between Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson remained intact. And the series was Amazing Spiderman: Renew Your Vows.
It was a five-issued limited series, and after the events of Secret Wars all of the alternate universes were to be done away with, including the popular Ultimate Universe. But the popularity of Amazing Spiderman: Renew Your Vows with fans who, like the marriage, led to the series being reissued as an ongoing series written by Jerry Conway who had a memorable run on the Amazing Spiderman back in the 1970s. In the series Peter Parker is married to Mary Jane and they have a daughter Annie who also has spider powers. In addition, the villain named The Regent who the Spider Family dealt with and defeated in the first mini-series had the power to drain the superpowers from other superpower beings, and this is something that Peter appropriated so that Mary Jane could tap into his power and they could fight crime together. This volume starts off with School Days. Annie is offered a chance to attend a very special school – the Xavier School – i.e. the one the X-Men went to. However, during their visit Magneto attacks with a little help from the inside.
So what do I consider some of the positives of this story? One is meeting these alternate Earth X-Men where some things have turned out a little bit differently than on the main Marvel Earth. For one thing, Wolverine is married to Jean Gray. They explain how that came about and they also offer an explanation for why One More Day isn't part of the reality on this world, and the answer is that Professor Xavier actually avoided the civil event which led to Spiderman becoming a wanted man, which led to Aunt May being shot. It was also interesting how there managed to be a debate over whether Annie should go to this private school between Peter and Mary Jane based on their very different experiences in school. For Peter, school was miserable with a lot of bullying and being picked on and that was definitely something that Annie would not have to worry about at the Xavier School. Mary Jane had a far more positive view of public schools and that led to her taking a different stand. It's a good contrast and it's a believable bit working that shows how these two relate. I also like the scene where Annie took on the mutant traitor who helped bring Magneto to the school.
The big negative of this story is that Spiderman is essentially like Superman in Season One of the Justice League TV series. In that series they had an idea that they didn't want Superman just to solve everything and they wanted to highlight other heroes which is a good goal. The problem was that they were constantly having Superman knocked out and beat up. And the story has the same issue: it's wanting to highlight the heroism of Mary Jane and Annie, but because of that Spidey ends up getting held back. There needs to be more of a balance and I hope that in future volumes they get to that, but other than that point this was a pretty enjoyable book. And also these two Issues have the best art in the series as Ryan Stegman, the artist, would become the writer for the rest of the book and other artists would come in. In my opinion they were OK but not quite as good as Stegman.
Well this episode has gone a bit long just because of all the backstory to explain this series, so in order to avoid having a super-long podcast we'll sign off for now and be back later with the other three stories in this series.

Because of the nature of my work I usually work with my customers through e-mail or on the phone. It seems to be that way even with the ones here in my area. One of my challenges is to discover how my customers idea of the design of the site differs from mine while working with them on the phone or by e-mail. Some of them know exactly what they want. Then my job is to make sure the navigation works smoothly, advise them how to best optimize the content for search, and then to plug in the content.
Then there the customers who aren't sure of what they want or they just don't know what they want. Then my job is to find out what their idea of a good site it, and why. Then, of course, make sure the navigation works smoothly, advise them how to best optimize the content for search, and then to plug in the content.
I have found that most of the work is in the first page. For a site to look and feel comfortable to the visitor the pages need to all have the same look and feel. Sometimes a client will pick a design right away, sometimes it will end up nothing like it started. Here's one that ended up with a completely different look than we started with.

Striking Amazon workers have 'nothing to lose' in first UK walkout, says union
RugeleyBusinessPublished: Jan 25, 2023 Last Updated: Jan 25, 2023 Comments
Members of the GMB at the firm's fulfilment centre in Coventry voted to strike in a dispute over pay.

Amazon workers staging their first ever strike in the UK in a dispute over pay have "nothing to lose", a union has said.
Members of the GMB at the company's fulfilment centre in Coventry voted to walk out on Wednesday in protest at a pay rise the union said is worth 50p an hour.
GMB senior organiser Stuart Richards said: "Today, Amazon workers in Coventry will make history.
"They've defied the odds to become the first ever Amazon workers in the UK to go on strike.
"They're taking on one of the world's biggest companies to fight for a decent standard of living.
"They should be rightly proud of themselves.
"After six months of ignoring all requests to listen to workers' concerns, GMB urges Amazon UK bosses to do the right thing and give workers a proper pay rise."

Amanda Gearing, also a GMB senior organiser, speaking from the picket line, said: "We're here today because Amazon workers have said they've had enough."
She said staff who worked through tough conditions during the pandemic are just "trying to get decent pay".
"They (the centres) are pressure-cooker environments they work in, with the targets they're expected to reach," she added.
"They (Amazon) just wear them out, get rid of them, replace them."
Ms Gearing added: "After all that, they have just offered a 50p pay increase in the biggest cost-of-living crisis that we've had in decades.
"I think, when the workers have got nothing to lose, you see them coming out fighting."

She said the striking workers are "not militant" and "need a job", adding: "Like I say, they've put up with the conditions in those centres for a long time."
"Coventry has been open four years, we've had issues since it was open. Rugeley (Staffordshire) before that – they're just horrendous places to work," she claimed.
She said the main issue for workers is what she said are target-led performance measures, set by an "algorithm".
"So, imagine turning up to work not knowing if you're going to make the grade.
"If you don't (hit targets) you end up in a disciplinary, so they're just having to work, work, work, they're not allowed to talk to people, it's difficult to take a toilet break," she claimed.
"In one of the other fulfilment centres, we were having people urinating in a bottle because they didn't want to take the time out and go to the toilet because it becomes idle time.
"We've got injuries, we've got more ambulances coming to (this) site, than any other warehouses across the country, they've just got an appalling record when it comes to health and safety.
"I think we've been lucky there's been no fatalities within those centres, up to now."

Ms Gearing said she is "hoping Amazon will get round the table", while adding "I don't anticipate they'll be giving me a call anytime soon".
An Amazon spokesman said: "A tiny proportion of our workforce are involved.
"In fact, according to the verified figures, only a fraction of 1% of our UK employees voted in the ballot – and that includes those who voted against industrial action.
"We appreciate the great work our teams do throughout the year and we're proud to offer competitive pay which starts at a minimum of between £10.50 and £11.45 per hour, depending on location.
"This represents a 29% increase in the minimum hourly wage paid to Amazon employees since 2018.
"Employees are also offered comprehensive benefits that are worth thousands more – including private medical insurance, life assurance, subsidised meals and an employee discount, to name a few."

Buckeyes could push Cornhuskers over the edge
By Jim Naveau - jnaveau@limanews.com
This is the 25th football season since the Big Ten first expanded beyond 10 teams but held on to its traditional name by bringing Penn State into the conference for the 1993 season.
The Big Ten became larger and even more numerically inaccurate when Nebraska joined in 2011 and Maryland and Rutgers were added in 2014.
There is no doubt Penn State and Nebraska were the crown jewels of Big Ten expansion.
Between them those two football giants won seven national championships from 1970 to 1997. Five of those belonged to Nebraska, including three in four years in 1994, 1995 and 1997.
For most people, the reaction to adding Penn State and Nebraska to the Big Ten was something like, "Wow."
But one of the crown jewels seems to have made the transition to being a Big Ten member a little more smoothly than the other, at least on the field.
Penn State averaged 10 wins a season in its first seven years in the Big Ten, including being ranked No. 2 in 1994 when it had one of the best offensive teams in Big Ten history.
On the other hand, Nebraska has struggled. Or, at least, it has struggled to accept that the 1990s are gone and that the present day Big Ten offers fewer automatic wins than the Big 12 it left when it joined the Big Ten.
Actually, it's a struggle that began more than a decade before the Cornhuskers – who play Ohio State in Lincoln, Neb., tonight — became part of the Big Ten.
When Nebraska legend Tom Osborne retired from coaching after the 1997 national championship, 25-year assistant Frank Solich was promoted.
His teams won 75 percent of their games (58-19 record) but that wasn't good enough. He was fired after the last regular season game in 2003.
Former NFL coach Bill Callahan was the next coach and he produced the only two losing seasons at Nebraska between 1962 and 2007 before he was fired after four seasons
Bo Pelini's teams never won fewer than nine games in his seven seasons and he was fired after the 2014 season, probably as much or more for his personality than what happened on the field.
Current coach Mike Riley is the fourth Nebraska coach in a row to be on the hot seat. His teams were 6-7 and 9-4 his first two seasons and the Cornhuskers are 3-3 going into tonight's game.
Nebraska's three wins have been over Arkansas State, Rutgers and Illinois. Its losses have been to Oregon, Northern Illinois and Wisconsin.
Some of the Cornhuskers' best football might have been played in losses.
After falling behind Oregon by 28 points at halftime, it outscored the Ducks 21-0 in the final two quarters. And they led Wisconsin 17-10 at halftime last Saturday night before being outscored 28-0 in the final two quarters.
It could be a big night for Ohio State on Saturday. It is a three-touchdown favorite and has won 24 of its last 25 games on an opponent's home field.
Here are three reasons Ohio State might win by a score that big:
1. The Buckeyes should be able to run the ball against a Nebraska defense that gave up 249 yards to Wisconsin freshman Jonathan Taylor last week.
2. OSU's pass defense could have a huge game against Nebraska quarterback Tanner Lee, who has thrown 11 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions this season.
3. Ohio State's defensive line should be able to pressure Lee and dominate a Nebraska running game which ranks tenth in the Big Ten and is expected to be without its leading rusher Tre Bryant.
Here are three reasons it might be closer:
1. Desperation. The season could go in an even worse direction for Nebraska and Riley with another loss. And the Cornhuskers will be playing in front of a home crowd hungry for a big win.
2. If Lee can avoid interceptions he can be effective. Only three quarterbacks in the Big Ten have thrown for more yards this season – Penn State's Trace McSorley, OSU's J.T. Barrett and Northwestern Clayton Thorson.
3. Ohio State has improved over the last four games but it's still not clear how much because of the level of competition in those games.
The prediction: Ohio State 35, Nebraska 17

The Lottery: Ya' Win Some, Ya' Lose Some
eddie-adkins
When you buy a lottery ticket you are casting luck to the weather. For several charities it will be sunny skies – another barely has enough for an umbrella if it rains.
A Calgary, Alberta man who won a CA$40 million lottery prize said he would donate it all to charity. Tom Crist hit the jackpot in a Lotto Max drawing, a game managed by the Western Canada Lottery Corporation. "I am happy I won because I can donate a lot of money to charity," Crist told the Calgary Sun newspaper. "Personally the money does zero for me."
Crist did not return a request for comment by presstime. He reportedly won the sum in May but claimed it this past Monday, and kept the winning a secret. Crist's win beat Calgary's previous record of $30 million, won by a Calgary couple in February, according to the Sun.
After his wife, Janice, died of cancer in February 2012, Crist reportedly set up a family foundation to distribute money to cancer-related charities. The lottery jackpot will go to the foundation, according to news reports.
"I just retired at the end of September so I was fortunate enough in my career to set myself up and my kids anyway, and there was no doubt in my mind where that money was going to go, it was going to go to charity," Crist said to the Canadian Press.
Meanwhile in Memphis, Tenn., the Stuttering Foundation of America cashed in 200 Mega Millions lottery tickets for the grand total of $18. The foundation received an envelope in the mail containing 200 tickets for this past Friday's drawing, with the chance to win the $425 million prize. There are 258.89 million possible number combinations in the Mega Millions game.
"I think it's exciting to win $18. Now that I have been asking people about lotteries, I have discovered that most people never win anything," said Jane Fraser, the foundation's president. "It sure was an exciting couple of days at the foundation."
The foundation received the tickets, along with a note from the donors explaining that 40 years ago the foundation helped the couple's child with stuttering. The donors wrote that they wished they had $1 million to give, but because they didn't they sent the tickets instead. Each ticket cost $1. Because no one picked the six winning numbers, the prize has been rolled over to tonight's drawing, which had increased to $586 million by Monday

Q: Cloud Datastore API - php - GqlQuery - "SELECT * FROM kind_name WHERE __key__" I have an application on GAE:php runtime and I'm using Google Cloud Datastore API to connect to the Datastore from my PHP app.
My question:
How can I query my database using keys, something similar to "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE id <= 1410611039" in Sql.
My code:(I've seen people are using this query-string syntax and it works for them)
$gql_query = new Google_Service_Datastore_GqlQuery();
$gql_query->setQueryString("SELECT * FROM notification WHERE __key__ = KEY('notification', 1410611039)");

Some part of the error I get is
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ... (400) Disallowed literal: KEY...
My Datastore console view:

Everything is fine until I append WHERE __key__ = KEY('notification', 1410611039) to the query_string.

A: Keys are considered literals in Cloud Datastore GQL and require special handling.
If users will be providing values at runtime, we recommend using argument binding. This helps prevent malicious behavior such as injection attacks.
There are two ways to do this; both start with a key value:
$key_path_element = new Google_Service_Datastore_KeyPathElement();
$key_path_element->setKind('notification');
$key_path_element->setId(1410611039);

$key = new Google_Service_Datastore_Key();
$key.setPath([$key_path_element]);

$key_value = new Google_Service_Datastore_Value();
$key_value->setKeyValue($key);

$key_value can then be used either as a named argument:
$gql_query = new Google_Service_Datastore_GqlQuery();
$gql_query->setQueryString("SELECT * FROM notification WHERE __key__ = $theKey");

$name_arg = new Google_Service_Datastore_GqlQueryArg();
$name_arg->setName("theKey");
$name_arg->setValue($key_value);

$gql_query->setNameArgs([$name_arg]);

or as a positional argument:
$gql_query = new Google_Service_Datastore_GqlQuery();
$gql_query->setQueryString("SELECT * FROM notification WHERE __key__ = @1");

$number_arg = new Google_Service_Datastore_GqlQueryArg();
$number_arg->setValue($key_value);

$gql_query->setNumberArgs([$number_arg]);

If no user-provided input is being added to the query, another option is to explicitly allow literals in the request:
$gql_query = new Google_Service_Datastore_GqlQuery();
$gql_query->setQueryString("SELECT * FROM notification WHERE __key__ = KEY('notification', 1410611039)");
$gql_query->setAllowLiteral(true);

Here are some additional details on argument binding and here is the full GQL reference.

A: I had the same issue using the Java Datastore API. The solution in Java would look like this:
datastore = DatastoreOptions.builder()
.authCredentials(AuthCredentials.createApplicationDefaults())
.build()
.service();
String id = "asdf123";
Query<Entity> query = Query.gqlQueryBuilder(
    Query.ResultType.ENTITY,
    "SELECT * FROM Task WHERE id = '"+id+"'")
    .allowLiteral(true)
    .build();
QueryResults<Entity> result = datastore.run(query);
while(result.hasNext()){
    Entity temp = result.next();
    //(...)
}

Wanzl Metallwarenfabrik GmbH je německá firma, největší světový výrobce nákupních a zavazadlových vozíků.

Společnost se sídlem v Leipheimu zaměstnávala v roce 2015 kolem 4 000 zaměstnanců ve 22 zemích. Roční produkce firmy Wanzl je dva miliony kusů nákupních vozíků.

Historie
V roce 1918 založil Rudolf Wanzl v Jívové u Olomouce zámečnickou dílnu s 20 zaměstnanci, která se zabývala výrobou vah a zemědělských strojů. Po odsunu v roce 1947 firmu znovu založil Rudolf Wanzl junior v bavorském Leipheimu, kde zřídil opravářskou dílnu a pokračoval ve výrobě vah. Podnět k nasměrování na výrobu zařízení pro obchod přišel od výrobce pokladen NCR z Augsburgu. Do zdejší ukázkové prodejny byly dodány první nákupní košíky. Záhy poté objednalo hamburské spotřební družstvo 40 nákupních vozíků a 100 nákupních košíků do první německé samoobsluhy.

Začátkem padesátých let odcestoval Rudolf Wanzl do USA, kde se kontaktoval s vynálezcem nákupního vozíku Sylvanem Goldmanem. Už při zpátečním letu načrtl svůj vlastní, zasouvací model, který tvoří základ dnešních nákupních vozíků. V roce 1951 byl patentován první nákupní vozík s pevným košem. Tři roky nato vystupují ze společného podnikání bratři Sieglové a zakládají vlastní firmu. Po řadu let mají oba největší němečtí výrobci nákupních vozíků sídlo v Leipheimu. V roce 1956 zaměstnává firma Wanzl 74 zaměstnanců.

1960
Pro rozšíření výrobních kapacit byl uveden do provozu nový závod v Kirchheimu. Na základě potřeby směrování zákazníků a snížení krádeží v budovaných supermarketech zařadila firma Wanzl do svého výrobního programu manuální vstupní otočné kříže. V roce 1966 zaměstnával podnik 400 pracovníků.

1970
Po expanzi německých řetězců do okolních zemí jsou zakládány první zahraniční pobočky. Pro německé dráhy byly poprvé dodány na nádraží zavazadlové vozíky. V důsledku dalšího rozšíření výroby byl v blízkosti nádraží v Leipheimu vybudován další závod. Dočasně měl tento závod k dispozici i vlastní železniční přípojku. V roce 1978 byla firma vyznamenána cenou Zlatá homole cukru.

1980
Pro letiště ve Frankfurtu dodává firma poprvé zavazadlové vozíky. Zvláštností je, že tyto vozíky mohou být použity také na eskalátorech. Aby byl lépe obsluhován trh ve Francii, byl v alsaském Sélestatu postaven nový výrobní závod. Rostoucí rozvoj hobbymarketů zvyšuje produkci, jsou vybudována obchodní zastoupení ve Velké Británii a Belgii. V roce 1989 zaměstnávala společnost Wanzl 1600 pracovníků.

1990
V roce 1990 byl v blízkosti dálnice A8 dokončen závod IV. V tomto závodě se dnes nachází sídlo společnosti. V roce 1991 byla založena nová obchodní divize Interiéry prodejen. Nejdříve bylo navrženo vybavení celé prodejny a pak vybaveno regály. Po desetileté činnosti jednatele přebírá v roce 1998 od svého otce vedení podniku Gottfried Wanzl. Velké zakázky, jako například vybavení nového letiště v Hongkongu zavazadlovými vozíky, nadále zvyšují čísla obratu i pracovníků. V roce 1999 se poprvé vyrobilo více než 1 milion nákupních vozíků za rok.

S pádem železné opony se rozšířil koncept samoobslužných prodejen do východní Evropy a nastal boom v budování supermarketů. V roce 1996 byl nedaleko rodiště Rudolfa Wanzla vybudován výrobní závod v České republice. Česká pobočka WANZL spol. s r.o. má dnes 250 zaměstnanců. Firma disponuje výstavními plochami a prodejními kancelářemi v centrále v Hněvotíně u Olomouce, ale i v pobočkách v Praze a na Slovensku v Dolní Stredě.
V roce 2006 byl rozšířen výrobní závod o další výrobní halu a galvanovnu, takže z továrny vycházejí hotové, povrchově upravené výrobky. Výrobní závod zpracovává produkty z leskle taženého drátu ohýbáním 2D, 3D, tvářením na hydraulických lisech, odporovým svařováním, svařováním v ochranné atmosféře a zajišťuje povrchovou úpravu práškovou vypalovanou barvou nebo galvanickým zinkováním ve vlastní galvanovně, která patří svými parametry k největším v České republice.

2000
Trh s klasickými obchody je v západní Evropě nasycen; k rozmachu samoobslužných prodejen dochází v rozvojových zemích. V roce 2005 byl postaven další výrobní závod firmy Wanzl v Šanghaji. S rozvojem internetového obchodu firma rozšiřuje svůj produktový program o vychystávací a skladové vozíky. Rovněž byl vytvořen produktový program pro vybavení hotelů.

Vzhledem k insolvenci bývalého konkurenta, firmy Siegel, přebírá firma Wanzl velkou část jeho zaměstnanců.
Společnost obdržela Bavorskou cenu kvality. K rozvoji produktového centra Interiéry prodejen se spojuje s truhlárnou Unseld v Ulmu.

2010
V lednu 2012 přebírá firma Wanzl stoprocentní podíl ve svém dosavadním zastoupení na severoamerickém trhu – podnikatelskou skupinu Technibild.
11. února 2012 vypukl požár v budově galvanovny v Leipheimu. Hala o ploše 40x40 m kompletně shořela a vznikla škoda v desítkách milionů euro. Za necelé dva roky po velkém požáru byla na tomtéž místě uvedena do provozu nově postavená galvanovna.

Hi! I'm Kate! I'm a busy mom, LLR consultant, and goo hoarder! I love love love all beauty products!!
Wish all the heavy products I use in the winter, this lightweight conditioner was just right.. I felt like it did a great just moisturizing without being heavy and the smell was not overwhelming like some HE stuff can be, it was just right! I will be using this weekly for sure!
Wish all the heavy products I use in the winter, this lightweight shampoo was a HUGE relief. I felt like it really cleaned my hair and gave it a great start. The smell was not overwhelming like some HE stuff can be, it was just right! I will be using this weekly!
So easy to use and quite delicious! It's not quite restaurant or bar quality but it does the trick!
There is honestly no better vodka than this. Smooth, delicious, perfect. It's the only vodka I can drink straight!
This is my go to daily moisturizer during the summer. It doesn't have SPF so you will need to add a daily one, but this is light, affordable, and keeps supper break outs at bay!
I love my clairsonic! I feel like it gets my skin so much cleaner than washing with my hands alone. I use it twice a week with a gentle cleanser! I picked it up at Ulta a few years ago and it is still going strong!
I have had this flat iron forever and it is still kicking! I do prefer the weight of the original but this one is easier to use and my hand does not get as tired. I wish the edges were more round, my hair always gets caught in them!
I received this in my ipsy bag and ADORE it. It's black as night, very volumizing, and it kinda reminds me of the "Better than" mascara. I did not find it to get clumpy and it dries pretty quickly. I dinged it a star because it's not super long lasting but I am a face toucher so that's not surprising to me! Great stuff!


German automaker Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group, looks determined to go one up on rival automakers regarding PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles). Once electric vehicles were unleashed into the market, there was a great concern that adding more demand from the overtaxed electric grid would create a large imbalance between supply and demand.
However, Audi's new pilot project, christened the Audi Smart Energy Network, looks geared toward reversing the situation. Instead of overtaxing the larger electric grids, the project aims to minimize the use of the grid by creating what it calls a 'virtual power plant' – where homes with or without EV car owners will not only draw but also feed power into the electric grids and contribute towards a balance in overall consumption.
The pilot project, for the time being, is restricted to the cities of Ingolstadt, Germany and Zurich, Switzerland. The program is a joint venture of Audi, which is based in Ingolstadt and the startup Ampard, which is based in Zurich. Ampard provides the controlling software which will channel, or discharge power based on demand of the moment.
As for if and when the pilot will expand to other areas depends most of all on how successful the project proves to be on its first run. Needless to say, consumers need to warm up to the idea to make it a success. If only a handful of households subscribe to the idea, it would not be effective, and the project may have to be shelved.
Many hope that it will be a success because a virtual power station project such as this can help reduce our carbon footprint. In a statement made by Audi's Head of Sustainable Products, Dr. Hagen Seifert, the company makes it clear that it is looking at greater mobility for electric vehicles and for greater electric mobility in general, but in the context of a holistic energy supply infrastructure which will rely increasingly on renewable sources of energy in the future.
With solar, wind and other renewable energy sources, the key problem is the lack of consistency in the production of electricity, which is why energy storage is an important factor when it comes to these alternative sources of energy. Here is where the powerful stationary storage batteries, that play a crucial part in this Audi pilot project, can be of great help, as long as everything goes according to the plan.
The Audi trial is still the first to test these ideas in a larger context as well as in a more thorough manner. It is important to note, too, that batteries of most electric vehicles at present are not equipped to feed power back off to the grid. But VW is already working extensively on making smarter batteries and it appears that they have plans to venture beyond selling automobiles and create a special brand for their high-technology, space age batteries. So, from the business point of view, the project makes a lot of sense.
Residents of the United States, however, must note that regulations in the U.S. regarding discharging power back into the grid from EV batteries are still somewhat fuzzy and until these regulations are made clearer, those who live in the U. S. will have to wait for the latest EV technologies pioneered by Audi and VW Group.
Hillside Imports will keep you posted on the latest technology coming from Audi and Volkswagen, so stay tuned!
