Welsh Government COVID-19 Regs Enforce Cancellation Of Pembrey Legends Rounds
Pembrey Circuit in Carmarthenshire, which was due to host the next two rounds of the Legends Cars National Championship with MRF Tyres at the beginning of October, has this afternoon confirmed all remaining 2020 events at the venue have been cancelled.
In line with the regulations surrounding the current COVID-19 pandemic, which have been imposed on the organisation of outdoor sporting activities by the Welsh Government, Pembrey Circuit owner the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) has been left with no option but to take the steps it has.
With no suitable replacement venue available to host what would have been the penultimate event of the rescheduled Legends Cars season, the championship for the 5/8 scale pocket rockets will now be decided over the six races already slated to take place at Brands Hatch on 7th/8th November.
"It's obviously incredibly disappointing to receive the news we won't be able to race at Pembrey next month, it's a fantastic circuit with a wonderful organising team and we will certainly miss being there", said Legends Cars National Championship with MRF Tyres owner Phil Cooper.
"Very unfortunately we aren't able to confirm a suitable replacement venue for the penultimate event of our season, so we instead have to look forward to the last two rounds now at Brands Hatch in early November."
Cooper added: "On behalf of everyone associated with the championship I'd like to send our very best wishes to all involved with Pembrey Circuit's operations, and also to the BARC. This is a very challenging time, with the COVID-19 situation continually evolving, and devastating for the circuit and the community it serves. We look forward to being back at Pembrey in 2021."
Following this past weekend's action at Snetterton 300 Circuit, Daniel Clark (Darras Hall) leads the Legends Cars standings going into the final event of the year at Brands Hatch with a slim 20 point advantage over John Mickel (Horsham). Jack Parker (Wolverhampton) in third is only another 30 points shy, with reigning champion Miles Rudman (Sutton Coldfield) fourth 15 points shy of Parker.
Provisional Legends Cars National Championship with MRF Tyres Standings:
1st Daniel Clark, 2770pts; 2nd John Mickel, 2750pts; 3rd Jack Parker, 2720pts; 4th Miles Rudman, 2705pts; 5th Will Gibson, 2510pts; 6th Connor Mills, 2490pts

Islamic State Linked to Deadly Attack on Indonesian Capital of Jakarta
The coordinated assault by suicide bombers and gunmen has left at least seven dead, including five attackers. An Islamic State-allied news agency has claimed that the group is responsible.

Militants launched a gun and bomb assault in the center of the Indonesian capital on Thursday, police said, in an attack that followed a threat by Islamic State fighters to put the country in their "spotlight."
Five suspected attackers were among seven dead, after the bombs went off in a major shopping and business district. One blast was in a Starbucks cafe.
An Islamic State-allied news agency said several hours after the attacks that the militant group carried them out, "targeting foreign nationals and security forces."
A Canadian man was among those killed, Metro TV said, quoting a police official.
Indonesia has seen attacks by Islamist militants before, but a coordinated assault by a team of suicide bombers and gunmen is unprecedented and has echoes of the sieges seen in Mumbai seven years ago and in Paris last November.
The attack began around 10.30am with a blast just outside a Starbucks café near the intersection. A police post in the intersection by the cafe was also damaged in one of the explosions.
Police said they suspected at least three suicide bombers were involved. The numbers kept changing in the hours after the attack, but by late afternoon officials said five militants had died and two had been arrested. One policeman was also killed.
Indonesia has been on edge in recent weeks over the threat posed by Islamist militants and counter-terrorism police have launched a crackdown on people with suspected links to the Islamic State.
"We have previously received a threat from Islamic State that Indonesia will be the spotlight," police spokesman Anton Charliyan told reporters.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo, widely known as Jokowi, later declared: "We don't have to be afraid. We will not be defeated by acts of terror like this."

Police snipers were deployed, according to media.
A United Nations building near the scene was in lock-down with no one allowed in or out, a witness said. Some other buildings in the area were evacuated.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation quoted from an internal UN alert that said: "Dear colleagues, more explosions and shootings in the area. Apparently they are using rifles and hand grenades. We are in a perimeter in our UN building covered by armed personnel. We may have a UN staff injured during the initial bombing."

Indonesia's central bank is located in the same area, and a spokesman for the bank said a policy meeting would go ahead as planned later in the day.
Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population, the vast majority of whom practice a moderate form of the religion.
The country saw a spate of militant attacks in the 2000s, the deadliest of which was a nightclub bombing on the holiday island of Bali that killed 202 people, most of them tourists.
Police have been largely successful in destroying domestic militant cells since then, but officials have more recently been worrying about a resurgence inspired by groups such as the Islamic State and Indonesians who return after fighting with the group.
The last major militant attacks in Jakarta were in July 2009, with bombs at the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels.

New London, CT – The Coast Guard Academy will add five new members to its Athletic Hall of Fame on Oct. 11th at the annual Hall of Fame Banquet held in the Otto Graham Hall of Athletic Excellence in Billard Hall as part of Homecoming Weekend.
The Class of 2011 has a pair of honorees in Carl Luxhoj (track and field) and Amanda (Frederick) Mountour (softball) as well as swimmer Richard Howes ('95), men's basketball player Jeff Prebeck ('08) and the first ever team will be inducted, the 1963 football team.
Luxhoj was a three time All-American as he placed third in the long jump in 2009, 8th in the triple jump in 2009 and fifth in the triple jump in 2011. He earned All-New England honors 17 times (10 indoor and seven outdoor) and he was a five time New England runner up.
The 2009 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Field Athlete of the Year, Luxhoj was a three-time NEWMAC champion and graduated with four school records.
He missed most of the 2010 season with an injury, was a three-time NEWMAC All-Academic team selection and once scored more points than the entire Merchant Marine team at a track meet.
Montour, a third team All-American catcher in 2010, led the team to three straight NEWMAC regular season championships and a pair of tournament titles as well as three straight NCAA tournament berths and two NCAA regional finals.
She was a four-time first team All-NEWMAC selection, a three-time All-region selection, the 2008 NEWMAC Rookie of the Year, the 2010 and 2011 NEWMAC Player of the Year and the 2010 ECAC Player of the Year.
"Freddy" rewrote the Coast Guard softball record book. She is the Bears career leader in hits (224), doubles (52), extra base hits (89), RBI (173), runs scored (149), total bases (377), at-bats (544), sacrifice flies (12), slugging percentage (.693), putouts (1,303) and total chances (1,448). She is second all-time with 10 triples, 27 homers, a .988 fielding percentage and her .412 career average is third best at the Academy.
She also holds Coast Guard single season records with 71 hits, 18 doubles, 27 extra base hits, 50 RBI, 116 total bases, 444 putouts and 472 total chances.
Howes, was a two-time All-American and earned honorable mention All-America honors three times during his junior and senior seasons. In 1995, he placed seventh in the 200 breaststroke and was fifth in the 400 medley relay. He was also the New England runner up in the 50, 100 and 200 breaststroke in 1995.
Howes, who was the team captain in 1995, led the Bears to a record of 50-8 including an unbeaten season in 1995. He graduated with school records in 200 and 400 medley relay as well as the 200 breaststroke, the breaststroke record he held for 21 years.
Prebeck, who was a captain on the men's basketball team that made the only Elite 8 appearance in program history and a school record 24 wins during the 2007-'08 season, is second all-time at the Academy with 1,614 points and 1,114 rebounds. He is just one of just two players in Coast Guard history to score 1,000 points and grab over 1,000 rebounds.
He was the 2005 NEWMAC Rookie of the Year, holds the single-season record with 344 rebounds as he led the nation with 12.3 rebounds per game during his junior season and was a three-time All-conference selection.
Prebeck and the Bears won back-to-back NEWMAC tournament championships earning NCAA tournament berths in 2007 and 2008. He holds the CGA career record with 109 games played and is second with both field goals made (598) and free throws made (393) as he averaged a double-double in his career with 14.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game.
The 1963 football team is the only unbeaten and untied team during the regular season (8-0) in program history. The team, led by head coach Otto Graham, played in the Tangerine Bowl. They finished the season 8-1, the third best record in the 94-year history of Coast Guard Academy football.
"This year we will honor yet another outstanding class to the Hall of Fame. With each and every passing year, I continue to be amazed with the extremely high caliber of our inductees," said Tim Fitzpatrick, Director of Athletics. "After stellar performances as cadet-athletes, they all have gone on to distinguished careers first in the Coast Guard and in some cases as professionals in the business world. This class displays those same attributes. For the first time ever, in the 2018 class we have the privilege of inducting an outstanding CGA team - the 1963 football team, which went undefeated in the regular season and played in the Tangerine Bowl under legendary coach Otto Graham. This will add a new feature to our Hall of fame and Alumni Awards festivities which we will hold in the Otto Graham Hall of Athletic Excellence on October 11. It promises to be a great event."

Student released from hospital after being hit by car near Sheridan Road, Hinman Avenue
Colin Boyle/Daily Senior Staffer
Police assist at the scene near the intersection of Sheridan Road and Hinman Avenue. A pedestrian was struck by a car at around 5:40 p.m. Friday and sustained minor injuries, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said.
Erica Snow, Campus Editor
A student who was struck by a car around 5:40 p.m. Friday near Sheridan Road and Hinman Avenue was released from Evanston Hospital later that night, a hospital representative told The Daily.
Northwestern deputy chief of police Gloria Graham confirmed the identity of the student as Medill junior Christopher Grismer. He sustained minor injuries, including a cut on his head, and was transported to Evanston Hospital, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said.
The driver was initially going to be cited with failure to yield to a pedestrian, but the driver was not found to be at fault, Dugan told The Daily in an email Friday.
After the accident, the road was blocked off for about 10 to 15 minutes, but was later reopened, Dugan said.
McCormick sophomore Mark Galperin, who witnessed the accident, said he went over to assist the pedestrian and call 911. He added that the pedestrian was bleeding from the back of his head, as well as his nose.
Galperin said the people in the car got out and asked the pedestrian if he was hurt.
"I heard a thump, and he was basically tumbling over the right side of that car," Galperin said. "Then he fell over, and was just kind of lying on the floor, on the ground, and the car stopped. … He seemed conscious, present to a certain degree, but also kind of dazed."
Colin Boyle contributed reporting.
This story was updated on Nov. 20 at 1:05 a.m. to identify the pedestrian and include that he was released from the hospital.

Here it is – the video of my sedated daughter. Again, don't think I'm advocating the sedation of children. But, you know, sometimes it needs to be done and why not have a little fun with it, right? Honestly, I just think it's the sweetest thing and it makes me smile.
There are three different videos. They're only 30 seconds a piece so it won't take long to watch them The third is the best – that's when she discovers her hand. The quality of video is not that great – I don't have one-a them fancy phones, ya know? Also, the video is sideways – sorry, I can't do anything about it. If you turn your head just so, you'll be able to see just fine.
Moving on. Have any of you seen the site, Awkward Family Photos? Well, if you haven't, you absolutely must! Lee and I surfed it the other night and laughed so hard we had tears in our eyes.

Lucas Torreira's father has revealed that his son was close to joining Napoli last summer only to end up signing for Arsenal instead.
Arsenal will face Napoli in the Europa League quarter-finals next month and the Uruguayan is likely to be a prominent player in the tie having emerged as a key player for Unai Emery's side since making a £22m move from Sampdoria after the World Cup.
Torreira's all-action displays in the middle of Arsenal's midfield has endeared him to the club's supporters while he has also popped up with the odd important goal including in the 4-2 win over Spurs in the north London derby back in December.
However, according to his dad Ricardo, he almost stayed in Italy rather than moving to London as a deal with Napoli was 'very close'.
Speaking to Radio Marte, Torreira senior said: 'It's true, Lucas was very close to Napoli. There were negotiations with Napoli, but something strange happened, and you know in the transfer market things can change from one moment to the next.
Torreira started his professional career in Italy with Pescara whom he joined from Montevideo Wanderers in his homeland before moving to Sampdoria in 2015. The 23-year-old spent a season on loan at Pescara before establishing himself at Sampdoria in the 2016-17 season.
Napoli are regarded as slight favourites to triumph over Arsenal in the Europa League quarter-finals after dropping down from the Champions League while they are currently second only to Juventus in the Serie A table.

"Lets See" Say the Voters in Mustafabad As UP Polls Gather Momentum
By SAEED NAQVI
|20 Feb 2022 1:23 PM GMT
The mild mannered men of Mustafabad near Lucknow in Rae Bareli, furrow their brows, pause in deep thought and, with anxious resignation say "dekhiye", a somewhat elongated "let's see".
Their style of resignation has not changed since 1952 when UP Chief Minister, Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant took away their lands, in strict adherence to the Congress promise of land reforms, despite Nehru's promises to the contrary. "Reforms may be delayed so the Muslims can create a middle class, just as the Hindus have done." Mustafabadis abide by loyalties. "He was obviously overruled."
I turn up in Mustafabad, all wrapped in nostalgia when UP elections are in full swing.
I have always enjoyed covering elections. Restrained by a month long covid spell, I was feeling particularly left out even as traffic picked up of returning pundits and progeny, all journalists, with stories of fierce fights. It was too much to resist. So I persuaded my wife to join me on a long drive.
New caste combinations were being forged, requiring attention. This is primarily a function of the caste pyramid being so cleverly designed as to leave provision for every layer to have layers below it. Hindutva enthusiasts are quite clear that democracy, indeed, the Constitution, does not really suit the social structure created in ancient times. The BJP's social engineers are meanwhile working with tooth-chisel and hammer to create cleavage at the micro level. Ironically, with its own hands, the BJP, is ripping apart the tapestry of caste.
This contradicts the basic purpose of those who wish to keep the cast pyramid intact. If the other backward castes are to be broken up into Yadavs, Kurmis and Lodhs, and so on, the strategic aim of Hindu consolidation is instantly compromised.
Communalism in the past 30 years has been a political trick to control caste disruption. The Muslim was targeted as the "enemy" to keep the caste hierarchy in line. The emergence of Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati in UP; Laloo Prasad Yadav, Nitish Kumar and Ram Vilas Paswan in UP and Bihar was traumatic for the two ruling class parties, the BJP and the Congress.
Even so, the spread of communalism in Bihar has been milder compared to UP, for which there is a reason. Since Independence, the power structure in UP was coterminous with the classical caste pyramid. UP had a spate of Brahmin Chief Ministers beginning with Pant. Prime Ministers, likewise, were Brahmins upto Atal Behari Vajpayee. Brief spells of Chandrashekhar, V.P. Singh, Charan Singh, Inder Kumar Gujaral and Dewe Goda were aberrations. The traditional caste logic did not attend their rise to the highest office. This is why terms were short.
Bihar power structure was not a cone but two parallel columns – Srikrishna Sinha, a Bhumihar and Anugrah Narain Sinha, a Thakur. The Congress was not Brahmin dominated. The other fact which helped tone down communalism in the state is seldom noticed. When the Communist Party split into CPI and CPM, Bihar was the only state where the party remained unified, under a host of leaders many of them Bhumihars. This is where Kanhaiya Kumar comes from. Now, ofcourse, he has snapped his CPI ties to help strengthen Rahul Gandhi's left flank.
In Mustafabad, my random interlocutors range from Lala, a Maurya by caste attached to the family for generations and scions of the fading ruling class. Discussions yield three broad assessments. One suggests that Yogi Adityanath faces strong head winds. The pandemic, floating bodies in the Ganga, economic distress, unemployment, poor health care, angry farmers and police excesses on dalits and Muslims are all cited as reasons.
The other group hedges its bets: the wave is against the BJP but the party will retain power. How does one explain that? Absence of millions of names from the electoral roles, a conniving bureaucracy and police, fiddling with postal ballot, and Pegasus-like interference with voting machines. The third view is the most convincing: people, not the opposition, are fighting the BJP this time. If true, the scale of victory might surprise even Akhilesh.
Scenarios are easy to sketch but they are liable to miss strands in an intricate mosaic. With the informality available only in villages and qasbahs, three youngmen from the neighbourhood amble in, their mouths full of news laced with gossip. Farman Haider Naqvi, 23, is a bright block level Congress worker from Mustafabad. He has just met a "senior Congress leader" who came all the way from Rae Bareli to "enthuse" party workers. The "senior" Congressman was none other than Kishori Lal Sharma, a retainer of the Gandhi family who has looked after the RaeBareli and Amethi constituencies for the family for decades.
Local gossip casts Sharma as a "Brahman wadi", or one who protects Brahmin interests. It follows, therefore, that Sharma had come to Mustafabad (in Unchahar assembly segment) not to support Atul Singh the Thakur Congress candidate, but to clandestinely tilt the scales in favour of a fellow Brahmin, Manoj Pandey of the Samajwadi party. This leaves two groups miffed, Yadavs and Mauryas for different reasons.
Yadavs, whose natural habitat should be the SP, is on this occasion livid with SP candidate, Pandey, who, in the past, has been harsh on Yadavs in a high profile criminal case. Maurya are hopping mad for a different reason: instead of fielding Ashok Maurya, Akhilesh has given the SP ticket to Pandey. Yadavs and Mauryas have coined a joint slogan:
"Akhilesh tujhse bair naheen
Manoj Pandey teri khair naheen"
(We are not against you, Akhilesh,
We are settling scores with Manoj Pandey)
This cameo provides a worm's eye view of elections in UP. The nine hour drive back to New Delhi gave me a more elevated view when my wife handed me the latest issue of The Economist. Two pieces, spread over five pages will not amuse Narendra Modi. The report focused on UP speculates that the Yogi may well have to resume his traditional "temple duties" when results are in.


Today we had the amazing chance to sit down with Pillow Talk Founder Joanna Montgomery. She has created an amazing technology that keeps loved ones near to each other; even when they are across long distances.
A bit more about what Little Riot has to say: "Today's digital world is noisy. We're always face-down in our screens, sending messages, sharing photos, awaiting replies. We've become so hyper-connected with each other that we've become completely disconnected from the true core of our being.
The most fundamental part of being human is connecting with other humans, and the experience of those interactions. Technology doesn't let us sit in the same room as someone and enjoy their company, or glance at them, or touch their arm. We started Little Riot because we want to challenge and change the way the world uses technology. Let's do better. Let's build a future where children still play with each other instead of only knowing screens. Let's create a world where we – and future generations – build products that are mindful and complimentary to human beings and the way we were born to interact. Join us in crafting technology, instead of letting technology shape us".

APE introduces it's new "Pro Series" manual cam tensioner for the BMW S 1000 RR. The manual tensioner allows for precise cam timing, and the positive elimination of the auto tensioner backing out under sudden throttle closure which could result in engine damage.
Used by Jeremy Toye in all of their Lee's Performance road racing bikes.
This, first in the "pro Series" line of APE manual cam chain tensioners is being offered at an introductory price of $79.95. Part# BT1000-P. It is available direct from APE, or from all leading performance parts dealers.
What makes this one a "Pro series" ?
not sure how much throwing around of Jeremy Toye's name i would do either. if your sponsoring them Jay, you may look a little closer at what type of people they are and what type of business they do.
They were the ones that helped us develope this part. They sent us everything we needed to R&D, including a head, etc. They ran the first tensioner in Macau.
Can you give us the run down on how easy it is to adjust the APE manual cam chain tensioners again. Lots of people are afraid of them because they don't know how to adjust them.

It's the end of the year, a time when many businesses are either making big purchases or upgrades to their infrastructure or holding off on new expenses until the New Year so that their expenses more evenly match their revenues. As a logistics partner, we see this influx all the time, regardless of whether the fiscal year end is approaching. For those that are squeezing in the big purchases before year-end, the timing of their deliveries is not always the best. Other times, the delivery may involve the need for a loading dock and/or forklift. And chances are, that if a forklift's involved, then insufficient space or storage is also at play. That's where we come in.
MSI, located in Morrisville, VT at the intersection of busy rural trucking highways of VT Routes 100 and 15, serves as the area's solution for inbound and outbound shipments.
Local businesses have trusted MSI for decades to assist in dealing with inbound and outbound shipments. In some scenarios, MSI has also provided the shipping solution in between locations for area businesses. Recently, for example, High Mowing Seeds needed a large delivery of palettes brought from their location in Wolcott to the Venture Center in Hardwick, and then back to their headquarters. MSI's Logistics services were able to make that happen immediately for them.
Or, take for example, a small café that's set to receive a brand-new refrigeration unit for their kitchen. The unit is set to be delivered during business hours. Rather than closing the business for the day in anticipation for this large delivery that would halt service to its customers, they can have the delivery sent to MSI and then MSI will deliver it whenever its convenient for the local business, without affecting day-to-day operations.
Simply put, when resources are limited, MSI is the solution. Our staff and the out-of-the-box services we provide can lend a hand in those times of need. After all, "Solutions" is our middle name.


Finding a company that is going to help you to move cargo from one point to another should not be a very complicated process because actually, there are very many companies all over the world that offer such services. One thing that you can be very assured of is that cargo containers are very beneficial and they are great way that you can be able to use to ensure that you have an easier time when it comes to moving your cargo from one point to another. The benefit different benefits of using cargo containers are going to be discussed in this article and you'll be able to understand why using them is an important decision for you.
One thing that is very important for you to know about cargo containers is that they are usually made in such a way that they are very secure and strong which is an important thing because then, your cargo will be very much protected. The cargo containers are usually made in such a way that you have to use very serious and strong systems for you to be able to have an easier time opening them up because if you do not have access, you can actually never be able to access the cargo containers. If you have some kind of specialized things that you need for your house, you may have some cargo that we want to be transported to your location and one of the ways that you can be able to do this is through the use of cargo containers. The amount of cargo that the storage containers are usually able to carry is usually very much and that's another thing that you also get to gain from. This is a very economical way of transporting heavy cargo from one point to another and thus the other important thing that you're going to gain. Availability of cargo and containers is also another thing that is going to be very good for you because these companies always ensure that they have done a good job in terms of providing all the cargo containers that you may need.
Efficiency and the amount of time that is going to be taken will be minimal and these are the great benefits that you also get to enjoy from using cargo containers. If you are looking for storage facilities, you can also be sure that cargo containers can still be used as storage facilities without having to worry about the security of your products. This is therefore of the most economical ways that you can be able to ensure that your cargo is safe not using a lot of money.

Fox TV developing a new DRESDEN FILES TV series
Fox 21 Television Studios is developing a new TV series based on The Dresden Files novels.
Previously, Lionsgate Television produced 12 episodes of a TV version of the books for the Sci-Fi Channel (now SyFy). The TV series was (very) loosely based on the opening books of the series, but were widely criticised for taking significant liberties with the background, lore and characters, as well as not faithfully adapting the novels. Particularly criticised was the decision to adapt the first novel in the series, Storm Front, as a movie-length pilot and then cutting it down to 45 minutes and placing it eighth in the running order, which rendered some of the plotting nonsensical.
Butcher has produced fifteen (of a planned twenty-three) novels in the book series since 2000, along with numerous short stories and comics. It's likely that any TV adaptation would adapt multiple books per season.
Fox 21 produces comments primarily for the FX Channel, although some of their shows have ended up on Showtime, Netflix and the USA Network. It'll be interesting to see what comes of this project.
Labels: fox, jim butcher, news, the dresden files
This might help explain why Peace Talks has been so slow to write. The Dresden Files is better suited to TV than most, however the first books are much weaker than the later ones so we will have to see if they can tighten up that part of the story.
So looking forward to this. And although, as with many authors, YES the first books are a bit weaker - the best ones show up around five or six - I still think the first stories themselves are GREAT. It's the character himself - or themselves - that are weaker. But guess what? With developement of over 10 books ... some of that can be put in earlier. Not all of it of course, but once Harry's character was stronger (stabler) can be implemented.
I seriously hope that a)Bob is what he's SUPPOSED to be and that b) This does NOT get put onto Showtime, or I'll NEVER get to see it. Netflix or something that later puts their seasons ONTO Netflix would be best.

Today we're taking you inside the newly released Ork Codex with a look at some of the new and improved lore you can find ensconced within. See what the Greenskin boyz have been up to since the Great Rift opened in the Galaxy.
By now we've all seen the new Buggies for the Ork Codex. We've seen the leaked rumors, the confirmed rumors, the rumored rumors, and by the end of the week the Codex will be available to one and all. But did you know you can find more than just rules in the Codex? It turns out this book is chock full of Lore as well. Whether it's an update on what Ghaz is up to these days, or a look at how the Feral Ork Life Cycle–which isn't also an amazing new vehicle–plays out, you can find out what you want to know about everyone's favorite followers of Gork and Mork.
Unless someone out there knows of some other, non-orky followers of Gork and Mork–though I imagine the Orks would still pull out ahead in that situation too. At any rate, in the Lore video above we take you through what the Orks are up to. Just a brief tour of the galaxy. Of particular interest to the ongoing narrative of 40K seems to be the idea of the Orks forming a Great Waaagh!
This seemed inevitable from the fluff. After all, nobody seemed to be able to stop Ghaz, and it was only a matter of time before Mork or possibly Gork rewarded him for his success while punishing him for his failure. And now that the Orks are getting a move on across the Galaxy–seriously, you should see the green spreading across the map–it seems like it's only a matter of time before they come rushing headlong into a contest to see who can be the greater threat to life in the Galaxy. Orks, Chaos, or Tyranids.
That's it for now, but we'll be back later with more lore you should know.
What do you think of this new, semi-unified Ork menace?


BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University today (Aug. 5) announced that 10 of its international programs will receive about $17.6 million, over four years, from the U.S. Department of Education through its competitive Title VI program.
For more than a half century, international centers at IU have received support and national distinction through the initiative established through the Higher Education Act. Only a handful of universities are receiving funding for as many Title VI programs as IU.
"This is wonderful news for Indiana University," said IU President Michael A. McRobbie. "These awards ensure that for the next four years IU will remain among America's top tier of universities housing centers for international research and language studies."
McRobbie pointed out that the Title VI funding process is highly competitive.
"These awards reflect our commitment to language and international studies, which has long been a core strength of Indiana University," McRobbie said. "This is a testament to the great work being done by the directors of these centers and the distinguished faculty members and researchers within these programs. This additional funding will enable us to continue building on our investments in these departments and provide students with top-quality language and cultural studies programs."
Title VI funding will be provided to seven National Resource Centers (NRC), which promote and strengthen the learning of languages and foster understanding of vital areas of the world, including Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Russia and the Middle East.
Those centers are: the African Studies Program, East Asian Studies, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, the Center for the Study of Global Change, Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center, the Center for the Study of the Middle East and the Russian and East European Institute.
All of these centers also will receive additional support for Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships. These fellowships support meritorious undergraduate and graduate students undergoing training in modern foreign languages and related areas of international studies.
IU's Islamic Studies Program was awarded funding through the FLAS program. IU's Center for Languages of the Central Asian Region (CeLCAR) received four-year funding as a Title VI Language Resource Center (LRC). Title VI provides funding for a small number of LRC's to improve the effective teaching and learning of less commonly taught languages.
With the exception of the Center for the Study of Global Change, all are based in the IU College of Arts and Sciences.
The Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER), based in IU's Kelley School of Business, also received funding for four more years. The CIBER program advances the study and teaching of international business and support research on U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace.
IU Vice President for International Affairs Patrick O'Meara described IU's overall success as extraordinary. He said that it ensures that the university remains among the top tier institutions that contribute to global literacy and international scholarship.
"Title VI support provides resources for our centers to maintain their national and international prominence and to engage in innovative activities," O'Meara said. "The range and depth of our centers are evident in these awards. The funded centers represent an incredible number of countries and regions, and because of this they are not only invaluable to IU's academic mission, but they are also a national resource of great importance.
"Over the years, faculty members have received support to do significant research, publish or attend conferences and workshops. Fellowship recipients have gone on to careers in government or at universities," he added.
In this latest round, many of the centers will receive funding for undergraduate students to pursue language and area studies coursework during the academic year or during the summers. This is in addition to considerable, continuing funding for foreign language and area studies fellowships for graduate students, which aids the centers in recruiting top students.
"Foreign languages and area studies are two historic strengths of the College of Arts and Sciences," said David Zaret, its interim dean. "Our programs in these areas have long attracted top-flight scholars to IU and Bloomington.
"It doesn't surprise me at all that these eight programs within the College have been successful in winning these grants. At the same time it is very gratifying that the U.S. Department of Education continues to recognize and support these areas of vital importance," Zaret said. "I congratulate all the faculty and staff members whose work throughout the year has resulted in this excellent outcome."
Dan Smith, dean of the Kelley School, added, "The Kelley School is recognized as one of the most important business schools in the world. Receiving this prestigious grant will provide us with the resources necessary to support innovative programs that will advance international business education and practice. I am particularly excited about initiatives that we hope to pursue that will enhance the global competitiveness of smaller to mid-size companies in the state of Indiana."
The Center for the Study of Global Change will continue to promote internationalization of teaching and learning within higher education and in outreach to K-12 schools, through a broad array of programs.
The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies will continue to support the study and teaching of indigenous languages Haitian Creole, Quechua Portuguese and Yucatec Maya. It also will continue with its outreach efforts, including the Minority Languages and Cultures Program, the Indiana Project on Latin American Cultural Competency and the Brazilian Studies Program, as well as a new sustainable development initiative.
The Center for Languages of the Central Asian Region will continue to develop materials for the strategic languages of the region including textbooks, multimedia and Web-based materials for intermediate and advanced levels for Afghanistan's common languages Dari and Pashto. It will continue to pioneer the synchronous and asynchronous delivery of language instruction using new and emerging technologies and research the efficacy of bridging from more widely studied languages, like Turkish and Farsi, to the less commonly taught languages of Central Asia.
The Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) will focus on long-term sustainable approaches to international business practice and economic development. The IU CIBER will promote continual innovation in teaching and learning through an online portal for multimedia instructional tools, e-learning games and mobile applications.
The Center for the Study of the Middle East coordinates all IU programs dealing with Arab countries and includes scholars on Israel, Iran, Turkey and Afghanistan. It will strengthen teacher training, including for those at community colleges and K-12 schools, add instruction at IU on modern Israel and Iran and in Arabic language.
East Asian Studies, in partnership with the University of Illinois's Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies, will continue to expand outreach, strengthen interdisciplinary research and teaching and stimulate pedagogical innovation. It also will increase the numbers and quality of "language ready" students proficient in Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian and Cantonese, who are capable of contributing to the needs of government, business and the academy.
The Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center will continue to promote learning of strategically important languages, including Azerbaijani, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Persian, Tajik, Tibetan, Uyghur and Uzbek. It will produce Web-based materials for teaching archeology of Central Asia. To increase the supply of specialists, new undergraduate courses and conferences and workshops will focus on Islamic Central Eurasia, national security issues, economic development in transitional economies, and nation-building in Turkic- and Iranian-speaking countries.
Islamic Studies, an inter-area studies program, will promote better understanding of the Muslim world as a historical, cultural, literary, political, religious and economic entity. It will highlight the many and diverse Muslim and non-Muslim traditions and societies that have developed within it over the last 1,400 years and bring together scholars from the West with those from all areas of the Muslim world; and to promote a free and open exchange of views.
The Russian & East European Institute administers the nation's largest language training program for the region, offering fellowships in 12 area languages: Czech, Estonian, Greek, Hungarian, Macedonian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian, Slovene, Ukrainian and Yiddish. It trains large numbers of experts with advanced skills in less commonly taught languages and area studies who contribute to the needs of the U.S. government, academic and business institutions.


Interviewing Rich Mullins is like looking through a pinhole at the Land of Oz: There's so much color to see and only a small scope of time in which to gather it and ask about the vividness you're peeking at. And just as an encounter in Oz changes the visitor forever, a session with Rich leaves you with fresh focus; you find yourself repeating not "There's no place like home" but "There's nothing like holiness; I need more holy life." In conversation, Rich Mullins is funny and serious, quick to point out his own humanity and surprised if you spot something loftier in him, but above all he is infectiously awe-filled about the God he laughs, writes and sings about.
Appropriately we talk about that God, in Rich's private Oz in Wichita, Kansas, over Diet Coke and newly hung drywall in his attic apartment. Rich is a student here, and he divides his time between his double-major in music and education at Friends University, playing the French horn in his school's pep band, visiting recently married cohort Beaker, constructing and painting his apartment, wrestling with a golden lab puppy named Stevie, and working his artistic way with thoughts and words and music.
First we get his thoughts about his latest project, A Liturgy, a Legacy and a Ragamuffin Band. So what's with the title? "It was just a funny phrase if you really want to know the whole truth about it," Rich admits. "It actually was a good idea, [but] I stumbled across the idea after I came up with the title. A liturgy is important to me because more and more I am becoming keenly aware of what a big part of my life ritual is. There are certain things I do every night before I go to bed, and if I do those things I have closure for that day. There area certain things I do in the morning to prepare to face the day. There are things that we [do] - they may be very simple ... But they remain the same."
In many ways these rituals are much like the prescribed forms of worship, or liturgy; that have been passed down for centuries for formal services. "When I go to church, when I go to communion," Rich says, "I involve myself in something that identifies me with Augustine, that identifies me with Christ, that identifies me with nearly 2000 years of people who have come together once a week and said, 'Let's go to the Lord's table and enjoy the feast that he has prepared for us.' In that week I may have been subjected to a million billboards that try to make me identify with the thinking of contemporary society. But once a week I go back to church and [acknowledge that though] the shape of the world is really different now than it used to be, this remains the same: I still come to the Lord's table and say, 'Oh God, if it weren't for your grace, if it weren't for the sacrifice of Christ, my life would have no meaning, no life would have no real substance.' And I do that voluntarily."
Not so with legacy, he explains. "A legacy is something that is passed on to you that you have no control over. I had no say in that my great-grandpa was an alcoholic. I have no say in the fact that my grandpa and grandma moved from Kentucky to Indiana. There are all these things that have shaped me and have some effect on me. There are all kinds of things that are pushed on us and we have no say over. And they shape the way we see everything. Because I grew up in Indiana, in the Protestant tradition, in fact the Quaker tradition - that had a lot to do with biasing me. That's going to have an effect on the way that I interpret the Scriptures; that's going to give me my perspective. And I need to be aware of what my perspective is so I can both appreciate it and be a little distrustful of it."
The album begins and ends with thoughts on the land and legacy that are given him, "Here in America" and "Land of My Sojourn." For Mullins, being an American is an important aspect of legacy that deserves as thoughtful a response as other more personal aspects. His response to being an American in the '90s?
"I don't think you can do anything except love it. And I think love is a lot of hard work. Not so much because things are hard to love but because we're not very good lovers. I think love is something you have to give yourself over to, you have to just finally say, 'I will stop seeking a reason to love something and I will voluntarily allow it to be bigger than I am.'"
Speaking of love, what about the pals who played in the Ragamuffin Band? It all started when Rich read a "refreshing" book called The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning, which celebrates the glories of grace and is written (according to the original forward) "not for the super-spiritual... for the muscular Christians who have made John Wayne and not Jesus their hero," but for "earthen vessels who shuffle along on feet of clay... for smart people who know they are stupid and honest disciples who admit they are scalawags." Rich says Manning's tome "articulated a lot of what I didn't have language for, and the Ragamuffin Band [which includes Jimmy Abegg, Reed Arvin, Billy Crockett and Beaker, among others] was just a group of guys I felt were particularly ragamuffinish."
Meaning? "They're not cute. They're slightly nuts. They have enough of a musical identity that they make lousy studio musicians 'cause they kind of are who they are, and that comes through in what they play. They're guys who have been real honest with me about who they are and about their shortcomings and about their failures and even about their failure to want to do any better. [Because] when I get down to it, the bottom line of every confession I have to make is, 'Lord, I don't really want to love you. I don't even have the desire to do that.' And unless God intervenes, I never will."
Grace, God's intervention and his pleasure have been pursuing Rich a lot lately, he says. "I feel it increasingly. The longer I live, the more I have the feeling like God looks down, like when you've just bitten into a vanilla ice cream cone, you just get the feeling God's going 'Yes! He enjoys it, and I made his taste buds and I made vanilla and he's putting it together and he's experiencing what I created him to experience.' The amazing thing about the whole joy of Christianity is it's something you can't find, it's something that has to find you. That once we submit ourselves to God, the things of God chase us down like dogs, and you can't escape them.
"I think we can stifle the Spirit," he continues. "We can thwart the work of God in our own lives. We can choose to nourish that which should be crucified and ignore that which should be nourished, but God ain't done with any of us. In my own life, one of the ways I've seen the grace of God working not only to bring me forgiveness but to bring me real life and to bring me growth, is that I came to a point where I realized, joy wants to live here and I don't have room for joy because I'm full of cynicism. I came to a point where I realized I had to cut out nurturing the cynical part of me.
"I still struggle with that. I haven't successfully become entirely merciful. I still tend to be very critical of people, projects, of an awful lot that I see, in ways that are embarrassing to me. I wish I weren't like that, but I have the feeling like a hundred years from now, I won't be."
A hundred years from now, what might this ragamuffin's liturgical legacy be? He believes it begins with honesty - hence the confessional nature of his music. "I generally live on the idea that everyone is pretty much the same," Rich says, "and that whatever is true for me is probably true of 90 percent of everybody else in the world." With songs like "Hold Me Jesus" and particularly at concerts, Rich says he's asking the audience, "Don't you ever want to say this, don't you ever want to look up to heaven and say, 'Hold me Christ, I'm shaking like a leaf?' Aren't you tired of being Mr. Together and aren't you tired of healing everybody and aren't you tired of being Mr. Holy Joe? Don't you ever feel like this? And if you can join me and sing here, that will be good for all of us.
"I guess I enjoy a book like The Ragamuffin Gospel not so much because it says anything I didn't know but because it puts into words things that I could never say. That's kind of my goal as an artist.
"I think in a lot of ways, what I'm hoping to do in a concert, what I'm hoping with this album, with every album is to help [people] come to terms with the fact that they are human, with the fact that they are alive. You hope to challenge people a little bit, [saying] 'You've always seen things this way; look at it *this* way. Not because this way is better than that, but because it's a different view.' I can study the Virginia side of Black Mountain all I want, but there's still a Kentucky side to it, whether I like that side or not, whether I recognize Kentucky as a state or I don't. Things are not flat."
But Rich will speedily admit that offering his viewpoint and guiding his listeners toward new ones are fallible proposals. "I always try to put Scripture references [in the liner notes of his albums] just because it doesn't matter what I say. I mean, ultimately, I can only tell you about my own experience. As a musician, I don't feel like I am the proper person to give dogmas. I think that what I can give people is an account of my own life, an account of how I've come to where I've come. I put the verses by the songs [to say 'This is where it's taken me but you go back and look at this and see what it says, and let it take you where it's going to take you. Bring your own perspective to this.'"
In other words, what Rich Mullins offers his audience is liturgy as seen through his legacy - the best, though flawed, that any of us can give. "As a disclaimer to everything I've ever said or everything I ever will say, when it's all said and done we'll only have two things left to say: One is 'Forgive me' and the other is 'Thank you.' If you're really looking for answers, look past me. But if you're interested in how I got to where I am, I will be as honest as possible."
Looking through this pin hole, one might ask, which of the characters of Oz does Rich most closely resemble? All of them. He most certainly has a brain, a heart, courage. And most important of all, he knows where Home - the place of holiness - is.

Häxmyran 1672-2017
Steel and low fired stoneware, (2017)
Häxmyran 1672-2017 is a temporary public commision on the site where eight women, after beeing accused of witchcraft, were executed and burned on the 8th of may 1672.
The work consists of 8 pairs of ceramic urns that were fired in an open fire as a community memory ritual that took place on the same site where the eight women were burned 345 years earlier. In the historical witch hunts fire were used to extingush what the society deemed as unwanted, disturbing and frightening. In this work I used fire in an opposite way to make the memory of these eight women last over time. Through the heat of the fire, clay gets fired in to ceramics which is one of the most sustainable materials we know of. The urns carry inscriptions about the eight women as well as examples of contemporary witch hunts around the globe.
Furthermore I have asked 8 people (including myself) that in different ways have been involved in the work to give me a few words or sentences to write on the urns. I asked them to think about what they wanted to say to these women or what they would imagine that the women would like to say to us today.
The urns were made in two identical sets of eight. One set sits in a circle on steel pedestals on the site where the remains of the eight executed women were buried. The other eight urns are each placed with the eight different persons that I asked about what they wanted me to write on the urns.
And so these eight urns are placed one each in the two local churces, one in the entrance of the town hall in the nearby town, one at the local hostel, one at the local historical society, one in the home of Monica in Alfta, a local activist for the rights of crime victims, one at The Prison Museum of Sweden (the organisation that commisioned me to work with this site) and the last one in my studio in Stockholm.
When the project is over the set of the urns that are standing on the site will be buried in the ground where the fired ceramic can last for hundred or thousands of years.

Welcome back to my open house of neighbors! This week I'm thrilled to introduce you to my neighbor Nicki. I found Nicki's Nook in the blogosphere back in November through some other neighbors of mine (that's how we roll around here… friends meet friends, become friends, share friends and on and on) and her honest thought provoking comments and posts intrigued me. I went on to find out that she has six, yes you read that correctly, SIX kids. I was determined to stop moaning and groaning about the stress in my life over two measly (that would be measly as in small, insignificant, not measely, like the itchy bumpy disease) kids after finding this out but, yeah, that didn't happen. It has been inspiring to say the least, that not only did she raise #1-#6 but they are all older than my kids so she raised them successfully! She has given me hope that I can do it too! Nicki always writes about topics that are important to HER, but we can all relate. You'll find that you have to stop and THINK after reading her posts because they bring up very interesting topics that stir the mind a bit. I do promise though that you'll be Hooked on the Nook just like I am.
Drama! I wish I had a sign for my door that said "Drama Free Zone!" Unfortunately, my youngest, affectionately known as #6, might not like that as he has discovered a love of the performing arts.
The latest issue in the wonderful world of six kids has come through my drama-loving #6. About three years ago, my school district put in a system called "Parent Portal." Each student was given a separate ID. The first year or two parents were required to attend a training session to be able to use the system. I didn't have time. I didn't really want to go to a computer training session when I spent more time on a PC than most of the IT people at the district. I chose to not partake. Teachers could get a hold of me. All had my email and my phone number. I liked these tried and true techniques. I could, if absolutely needed, call or email the school.
Generally, I didn't initiate a lot of contact. I just responded if there was an issue. With more than one child in a particular school building, I did not always get to meet teachers during curriculum nights. I would request, through guidance, a separate meeting with the child's teachers shortly after that event to be sure I knew what was expected of each student in each different class.
The last two years, at least at the high school level, the curriculum night involved being given your password and log in for each child to "Parent Portal." No training class necessary. I do log in occasionally but prefer to have discussions, face to face, with my children as to how classes are going. I like to think that I am their advocate so I need to have their side of the coin. I like to think I can trust them to tell me they don't like a teacher or the explanation for this assignment is confusing. I do not log into "Parent Portal" often and usually it is to check attendance records. I don't want my kids skipping classes.
Imagine my surprise when second quarter mid-term grades came home at Christmas time. #6 is failing English. He has never had a super great grade in English but he had not turned in several assignments – which I did find out from checking "Parent Portal." My surprise was not his English grade. My surprise was that I had not once been contacted by the teacher. No email home at Thanksgiving time that my son had not turned in a major essay. No email or phone call home during the three weeks of classes in December that my son had not turned in some minor homework assignments and then another essay. No nothing from the teacher.
I went back over my phone/caller ID logs. No calls from the school district showed on it during that time. I kept thinking maybe I had missed the call and subsequent message. NOTHING!
While I think school districts need to put in as many ways to communicate with parents as possible, I am at a total loss as to why I have still not heard from the woman who is my son's English teacher. He does not have an overall failing average. His overall average, not including PE class, is 80. His English average is in the mid 30's so you can tell he is just not doing something as he is not stupid. He has said, though, he doesn't understand what the teacher wants.
But I am still hung up on why I haven't heard from the teacher. The spring drama has been cast and my son has a part. The director emailed all the students' individual teachers, as opposed to asking for student averages from Guidance, for concerns. The English teacher told the director she didn't think my son should be allowed to participate, but still NO word to home from this teacher about my son's grades and lack of participation in her class.
The question is does having an online grade system in place allow a teaching professional to abdicate his or her responsibilities to contact parents. Should I be upset that the teacher isn't talking to me but is talking to her colleagues about my son? Also, should I be concerned that the code of conduct, which the teacher is sighting as the reason #6 should not be allowed to participate in drama, does not say anything about passing every class?
I taught for ten years and I always – always! – communicated with a student's parent when a student was in academic jeopardy.
The presence of this online grading system complicates matters, I think. (Any way to tell if she tried to contact you that way?) Either way, though, I would say the situation is one that merits two-way communication, an actual conversation, not just a message left on some computer system.
Kristen – There is no communication via the online system. Teachers and/or parents have to communicate via written note, email or phone call. The online system just allows parents to check grades and assignments. The teacher in question is brand new and better hope I don't get asked what I think of her performance. I gave her my two phone numbers – home and cell – and email at the beginning of the house. Other teachers have taken up her slack. One of the drama club advisors has taken to "tutoring" #6 during his free period.
That seems so odd that you wouldn't have heard anything, especially when she's suggesting that he shouldn't be able to participate in an activity. AND when they have all those means of communication.
After reading the comments of her being brand new – was this her first teaching job as well? Not that that's an excuse, but maybe she didn't know the protocol. Hopefully the situation gets straightened out soon!
We have had the EXACT same issue with Awesome Stepkid R. We can check his grades online but rarely do so. Occasionally, he will completely drop the ball and not turn in several assignments and we do not learn of it until report cards or conferences. No phone call or email. NADA.
I am a former teacher and know how hard the job is, and I know how many students you have to teach in a semester. But this online thing bothers me, because even though teachers don't have to contact parents, shouldn't they? Isn't there part of the job description that involves CARING about the student as a person? As a learner? And if the student starts not turning in things or isn't meeting requirements, shouldn't that mean that you ought to care enough about them to see if anything is going on at home or with them?
Oooh, that make me so mad! I taught before my boys were born and we HAD to let parents know if their kids were failing. I liked to let parents know anytime their kids' grades slipped below a C. There's no excuse for no communication.
@Corinne – This is not her first teaching job and I have a pretty good reputation as an involved parent at the district. I don't think she could be scared of me but … who knows?
@TKW – I am about to throw teacher responsibilities as outlined in the high school code of conduct at someone. LOL! She is basically abdicating her responsibilities and it annoys me.
@Shell – the worst thing is that this is simply a case of he didn't understand – at least according to him – the assignment the way his teacher explained it so he didn't do it. We had a long discussion about that in itself. Another teacher has a free period the same as he does every other day so she is helping him with that end of it.
Such a tricky issue. Have you tried contacting her?
Ambrosia – I am at fault for not contacting her. Since a plan has been put in place for my son, I feel like contacting her will rock the boat now and I don't want to do that. I will, though, eventually contact her.
Oh, that is frustrating! We have that 'parental portal' too, but I always forget it's there!
Thanks for taking part in Won't You Be My Neighbor! Be sure to sign the linky at Never-True Tales if you haven't done so already! I'm enjoying getting to know you through this!
I think that is completely unacceptable that the teacher has not contacted you. I think a teacher has a responsibility to at least attempt a parent contact regarding any student who is failing a class. We're not talking college here–kids are still at home with parents for a reason when they are teenagers. I would contact the teacher by email and CC the guidance counselor so that it is on record that you are initiating the contact.
@Amy – I hate that whole parent portal thing. I don't forget about it but like to – with my rose-colored glasses on – believe what my kids tell me.
@Jen – That is my issue. I am annoyed the teacher still has not made any contact with me. I am going to contact her but I am also going to contact the principal about teacher responsibilities at some point.
This post aggravated me to know end! It seems so wrong on so many levels. I'm not sure if I could handle such poor communication. I'm someone who needs a lot of two way communication in order to feel comfortable in situations involving my kids. Without that, I feel helpless. I don't care what kind of technology is in place to cover for the teacher… it is still their responsibility to have you as their number one priority. I think you're handling this very calmly!
Thanks Nicki for a great post and an interesting discussion!
Becca – Thanks for having me. This is something that has just become an issue in our district so it is new. I also know that other teachers have taken up this particular teacher's slack and are helping #6 so I am less concerned. I am calm now but no guarantees when I finally talk to the teacher.
Hi all! Just wanted to let you know that I still did not hear from the teacher but have worked out a plan for his English tutoring. Yes, the child is failing his first language.
I also found out, finally, that the policy that I was looking for is a Board of Education policy. It is never given to the students. It is also never given to parents. And, a student must be failing two courses to be told he/she cannot participate.

Q: Next.js in Vercel with Sentry - ignore source maps in production I'm deploying a Next.js app in Vercel with Sentry configuration provided by @sentry/next.js module. Here is the example repo - https://github.com/voronianski/test-next-sentry-app
It uses the official example from Next.js (e.g. https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-sentry).
Integration with Sentry works perfectly. However I noticed one thing that kind of bothers me. Source maps for each file are publicly available.
Here is the link to the app - https://test-next-sentry-app.vercel.app/ and here is the map file of _app.js https://test-next-sentry-app.vercel.app/_next/static/chunks/pages/_app-b2c4ce59f737104d4ac1.js.map
This leads to the completely visible project structure and source codes in the browser dev tools -

I tried to use .vercelignore file but it didn't help - https://github.com/voronianski/test-next-sentry-app/blob/main/.vercelignore
Is there a way to not deploy source map files to public in Vercel? Thanks!

A: As suggested by Vercel support - you can use rewrites option in next.config.js to achieve this -
const nextConfig = {
  // ...
  rewrites: async () => {
    // do not leak source-maps in Vercel production deployments
    // but keep them in Vercel preview deployments with generated urls
    // for better dev experience
    const isVercelProdDeploy = process.env.VERCEL_ENV === 'production';

    if (isVercelProdDeploy) {
      return {
        beforeFiles: [
          {
            source: '/:path*.map',
            destination: '/404'
          }
        ]
      };
    }

    return [];
  },
  // ...
};

module.exports = nextConfig;

https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/next.config.js/rewrites

A: Consider fronting your application through a CDN vs the vercel.app domain
https://vercel.com/support/articles/using-cloudflare-with-vercel
Cloudflare is free to a point for IP based access (not public users) through their teams plan and then you can add their IP Access rules to your IP Range for that path

Arthur Calwell and the gift of immigration
Mon 28 Aug 2017 by
Mary Elizabeth Calwell
Arthur Calwell
When Arthur Calwell addressed parliament as the first Australian Minister for Immigration on 2 August 1945, Australia was still at war. He emphasised the importance of immigration for national development and defence, welcoming all people covered by existing legislation and rejecting campaigns of religious and racial intolerance that 'made for the creation of discord and bitterness, harmful at home and abroad'. Australia's population was 7.4 million with 250,000 available jobs and he used the slogan, 'populate or perish'.
The Jewish News reported on 24 July that Calwell invited close relatives of Holocaust survivors to apply to come to Australia and for Jewish Welfare Societies to process these applications. The Jewish Community found ships and Australia has the largest proportion of survivors and descendants outside Israel. The Arthur A. Calwell Forest of Life was dedicated in Israel in 1998.
The Second World War ended on 15 August but repatriation of defence personnel was inhibited by shipping losses. Tasman Heyes became Departmental Secretary and Bob Armstrong, Calwell's private secretary. An Australian International Labor Organisation delegation visit to Europe became an Immigration Advisory Committee which advocated emigration, and an Immigration Advisory Council was established.
British Commonwealth governments signed an agreement in March 1946 to provide free passage to Australia for British ex-servicemen and dependents, with a ten pound fare for other adult migrants. Benefits were extended to allied ex-servicemen. State premiers agreed and accepted responsibility for child migrants. In December, Cabinet approved an agreement with the Netherlands Emigration Foundation and in January 1947, the first group of British tradesmen arrived. In 1946, Australian women were granted the right to retain their nationality after marriage.
In March 1947, Calwell asked Cabinet to naturalise Chinese residents but it only agreed to modify regulations and ordered the decision be kept secret. There was post-war hostility to Asians. Calwell lobbied later governments and naturalisation was achieved in 1956.
In June 1947 the Calwells and Bob Armstrong visited 23 countries in twelve and a half weeks. Calwell met representatives of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration and the IRO to discuss Displaced Persons from several countries and made arrangements with the British Shipping Conference to the end of 1952. On 21 July Calwell and A.J. Altmeyer, for the IRO, signed an agreement in Geneva ensuring no discrimination against DPs, the right to bring families, legal and political protection, Australian employment conditions and right to apply for citizenship. DPs agreed to work for two years, later reduced and never enforced. Political instability led to deferment of agreements with Italy and Greece.
The first group of Australian war brides with their American families arrived in September. On 7 December 843 DPs reached Melbourne and travelled to the reception centre at Bonegilla [near Albury]. Three thousand Maltese arrived in one year. New schemes were established and thousands of people were sponsored from several countries, including Lebanon.
In August 1949, two children, Maira Kalnins from Latvia, the 50,000 DP, and Isobel Saxelby from Scotland, the 100,000 British migrant, were welcomed to Australia. Calwell presented each girl with a doll, posy of wattle and toy koala. Their brothers received a toy kangaroo and Australian Rules football.
Australian citizenship was promulgated on Australia Day 1949. Calwell introduced the term 'New Australian' and Good Neighbour Councils. Robert Menzies said Calwell's achievement in persuading the ALP and unions to accept his scheme was 'a bold and courageous action'. Geoffrey Blainey and Bob Hawke stated that immigration was the most important Australian political decision of the 20th century, while Jerzy Zubrzycki declared that Calwell was the father of multiculturalism.
In 1952, the Australian population, through births and immigration was 8.6 million.
Comment by Mary Elizabeth Calwell, 4 September 2017: Between January 1947 and June 1950, 58 per cent of Assisted Migrants were Displaced Persons quoted by the Secretary, Department of Immigration, R. E. Armstrong in an address, "How It All Began", to ACT Good Neighbour Council, 24 August, 1972.

Mary Elizabeth Calwell, daughter of Arthur and Elizabeth Calwell, has a life-time involvement in the ALP. She has a BA from Melbourne University and worked in the Reserve Bank and APS. She was then awarded three degrees from the Melbourne College of Divinity, her Master's and Doctoral theses being the basis for her father's biography, I am bound to be true: the life and legacy of Arthur A. Calwell, published 2012.

Google Glass: What You Can and Can't Do With Google's Wearable Computer
Looking past the buzz: this is what you can do with Google's wearable gadget.
By JOANNA STERN
Google Glass: A First Real Life Look
ABC News' Joanna Stern shares what life is like behind Google's connected glasses.
May 2, 2013 — -- Some people whisper, "I think that's Google Glass." Others stop and ask, "How do you like it? How does it even work?" And then some just pull out their phones and snap a picture.
They all have something in common, though. They want to know what it is like to be looking through the other side of the glass -- Google Glass, that is.
For close to a year, Google has been teasing its connected glasses, which overlays digital information in the real world. And earlier this week, I finally got a pair. I purchased one of the first $1,500 Explorer Edition models, put them on my face and started to see what it is like to live life with a tiny screen in front of my right eye. So what have I been seeing, besides lots of people taking photos of me? What is it like to see the world through a digital lens?
Here are some answers.
VIDEO: Google Glass: First Look at What Google's Connected Glasses Can Do
First, let's talk about the contraption that's been drawing all that attention. The glasses, as you can clearly see, are not like your typical spectacles. Inside the right arm are the parts of a smartphone-- a processor, 16GB of storage, a Bluetooth radio, a small battery and more.
On the front, you have that star of the show -- a small little glass square. That's the screen, and when you put the glasses on you can adjust them so that it sits slightly above the top of your right eye. If worn right it really doesn't obscure your line of vision. No, I haven't been walking into walls. In fact, when I picked up my Glass, a Google employee (or Glass Guide) fit me for them and showed me how to slightly glance up to see the screen. You can also adjust or swivel that screen when you have it on to bring it closer in or out from your eye.
(If you're a leftie and wondering why everything is on the right side, it's a good question. Google doesn't have plans at the moment to make a left-sided pair; it says most people are right-eye dominant.)
The glasses pair with your phone to get connectivity. There is iPhone support now for some functions, but Android support is much deeper. Using the Android MyGlass app you can configure the connection and even use a Screencast feature, which mirrors the Glass display on the phone. (An iPhone app is coming, though Google wouldn't give me a firm timeframe on when.) You pair them with your phone via Bluetooth and if you have Bluetooth tethering you can use your phone's 3G or 4G connection. If you don't, you can connect both the Glass and the phone to WiFi. Without connectivity, you can still take photos and video, though.
To the right of that glass box is a 5-megapixel camera. There's a button on the top of the glasses for taking photos, but the easiest way to control that camera is with your voice.
How do you control them?
And your voice is one of the two modes of controlling Glass. You can navigate the screen either through voice commands or by using the trackpad on the right arm of the glass. That entire arm is touch-sensitive: sliding your finger on it allows you to move through the Glass interface and tapping once on it lets you make selections.
You also have two choices of how you can wake up the glasses: Tap on that arm, or tilt your head back. Tipping your head back looks incredibly awkward but it's one of the easiest ways to get the glasses' attention.
Similarly, it looks very odd when you talk to the glasses or yourself, but it is one of the easiest ways to get to some of the basic functions. All you have to do is say aloud, "O.K., Glass, take a picture" and the glasses will snap a photo. "O.K., Glass, Google ABC News" and you'll get some basic news results on the screen.
What can you do with them?
That gets us into the main things you can do with Glass right now. When you look into Glass, you get a very basic interface. It works like a carousel; you can swipe to the left or right to see features and your history -- what you searched for, what you took photos of, etc. Right now there are three main things you can do or see through Glass.
Take photos and video. Sure, it might seem like any wearable camera, but not having to fumble for your phone to snap a photo is a very convenient trick. That said, you will still want to grab your phone. Or at least I have wanted to – the 5-megapixel camera doesn't take very impressive photos and you can only share them on Google Plus for now. No Twitter, Instagram or Facebook sharing yet.
Get notifications and e-mails. You can view your Gmail messages, text messages and incoming calls. And then you can even respond to them by swiping through with the touchpad, tapping and hitting reply. Then say your response outloud and Glass will convert your speech to text. In my experience it has been quite accurate.
Many have asked if those notifications are distracting. They're really not. The notifications don't pop up when Glass is off; it's only once you turn them on and swipe through to other screens that you can see them. When I did get a call, though, it rang in my ear.
Use Google stuff. Then there are all of Google's goodies. You can see the weather, search Google and get mapping directions. As you see in the video, all you have to say is, "O.K., Glass, get directions to New Jersey," and it will show you the route right on the screen. The coolest part might be asking Google to translate something. "O.K., Glass, Google how do you say coffee in Italian," and you will then hear the answer in your ear -- caffe.
What can't you do with them?
Of course, there are a number of things you can't yet do with Glass. Sure, you can't do a lot of pie-in-the-sky things -- like look into the future -- but there are some things I expected them to do that they simply can't.
You can't look at something and have them search. No, you can't simply look at the subway and have the glasses recognize it. You can look at something and tell it to search for it, but that's about it.
You can't e-mail a photo. You have to share the photo on Google Plus right now.
You can't wear them all day long. Well, you can, but they will just be a funny-looking accessory since the battery doesn't last more than 3.5 hours right now.
You can't wear regular glasses or sunglasses with them. While Google makes a clip-on sunglass frame, you can't put these over a pair of regular glasses right now. They just don't fit well.
You can't easily connect. Setting up Glass on a home and open wireless network is easy, but when you move beyond that, things get complicated. You can't connect to a wireless network that requires you to sign on via a webpage. You also can't use 4G or LTE if you're Android phone doesn't support Bluetooth tethering. While you can use your iPhone with the glasses, it doesn't support text messages or GPS directions.
You can't buy or afford them. I paid $1,500 for my Glass. That's what Google is charging for the limited Explorer Edition, which it has promised to a couple of thousand early adopters. Google isn't selling them right now, but says it plans to sell them either later this year or early next for a more affordable price. But as they stand now, $1,500 is way too much for the limited functionality.
But all those can'ts are all part of this being something brand new. Google is calling these the Explorer Edition for a reason -- they want people to explore life behind a screen and think up new ideas and apps for the non-explorers. See, no matter how many questions I answer, there will be a lot more coming soon.
