Q: Host a static site single page app in Google Cloud Storage with routes There are guides and questions all over the place on how to do this, but never really a concrete answer that is satisfactory. Basically, I'm wondering if it's possible to host a static SPA (HTML/CSS/JS) in GCP Cloud Storage.
The main caveat of this is that the SPA has its own routing system (ReactRouter) so I want all paths to be served by index.html.
Most guides will tell you to set the ErrorDocument to index.html instead of 404.html. While this is a clever hack, it causes the site's HTTP response code to be 404 which is a disaster for SEO or monitoring tools. So that will work, as long as I can change the response code.
Is there any way to make this work? I have CloudFlare up and running too but from what I can tell there are no ways to trim the path or change the response status from there.

A: A good approach here is to use Google App Engine to host a static SPA. https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/getting-started/hosting-a-static-website
You can use the app.yaml file to map urls to the static file. Here's an example:
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

handlers:
- url: /
  static_files: www/index.html
  upload: www/index.html

- url: /(.*)
  static_files: www/\1
  upload: www/(.*)

Documentation for app.yaml https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/config/appref

A: One way to circumvent the problem is to use server-side rendering. In SSR all client requests are passed to a backend app so there's no need for a Cloud Storage-hosted index.html.
This of course comes with its own set of complications but we're avoiding the above-mentioned 404 hack or resorting to any further dependencies like App Engine.
Alternatively you could go with hash-based routing, i.e. paths like https://example.com/#some-path.

A: A very simple solution would be to just add the index.html file as the 404 fallback. This will always route everything to your single page app.

A: If you use Cloudflare, you can use a Cloudflare Worker to override the 404 status code, which comes from the Google Cloud Storage error page.
The code for the Worker should look like this:
addEventListener('fetch', event => {
    event.respondWith(fetchAndLog(event.request))
})

async function fetchAndLog(req) {
    const res = await fetch(req)
    console.log('req', res.status, req.url)

    if (res.status === 404 && req.method === 'GET') {
        console.log('overwrite status', req.url)
        return new Response(res.body, {
            headers: res.headers,
            status: 200
        })
    }
    return res
}

I found it here in the Cloudflare community.

English Elm – Ulmus procera
English Elm survives in small pockets in Europe, the UK, and at sites in the U.S.
These are the leaves of the American Elm
Ulmus procera, the English Elm or Atinian Elm was, before the advent of Dutch elm disease, one of the largest and fastest-growing deciduous trees in Europe, often exceeding 40 m in height with a trunk up to 2 m in diameter. The largest specimen ever recorded in England, at Forthampton Court, near Tewkesbury, was 46 m tall (Elwes & Henry, 1913). The leaves are dark green, almost orbicular, < 10 cm long, without the pronounced acuminate tip at the apex typical of the genus. Wind-pollinated, the small, reddish-purple flowers are without petals, and appear in early spring before the leaves. The tree does not produce fertile seed, and propagation is entirely by root suckers.
A survey of genetic diversity in Spain, Italy and the UK revealed that the English Elms are genetically identical, clones of a single tree, the Atinian Elm once widely used for training vines. although there is no record of its introduction to Britain, it probably arrived with the Romans, a hypothesis supported by the discovery of pollen in an excavated Roman vineyard. The introduction of the tree to Spain from Italy is recorded by the Roman agronomist Columella in his treatise De Re Rustica, written circa AD 50, meanwhile, research has also identified it as the elm grown in the vineyards of the Valais, Switzerland.
49-year-old English Elm [1]
"Its true value as a landscape tree may be best estimated by looking down from an eminence in almost any part of the valley of the Thames, or of the Severn below Worcester, during the latter half of November, when the bright golden color of the lines of elms in the hedgerows is one of the most striking scenes that England can produce." [Elwes & Henry, 1913].

Do you ever imagine life without hardship and trials? If I'm perfectly honest, I do. I believe it is natural for us to hope from time to time for life on earth to be the way God always intended it to be, a life without pain and suffering. In creation, life on earth was once perfect. Jesus reminds us that one day he will come again and restore earth back to His original plan. He will wipe away every tear, every heartache and restore what was lost and stolen. The book of Revelation gives us a beautiful picture of what the great restoration will one day look like. One day, it will be our reality.
But, until that day comes, every believer must learn to navigate trials, persecutions, and hardships. As much as we all dislike suffering and try to avoid it, we must all face it from time to time. The Bible says that hardship falls on believers and unbelievers alike (Matthew 5:45), meaning everyone under the sun will experience hardship at some point in life.
But, the good news is this! God gives us the supernatural ability to be content, peaceful and joyful through it all. John 14:27 says, "The peace I give is a gift the world cannot give so do not be troubled or afraid." God calls us to a position of peace. God also gives us grace that enables us to be content in every situation or circumstance (2 Corinthians 12:8-10). I've learned that it's easy to possess peace and contentment when life is going well, but it is completely supernatural to be anchored when storms come.
My friend, whatever you're facing, you don't need to be tossed around. You can remain grounded in the promises of God. I'm not saying it's always easy, but the truth is that the storm never lasts so keep your peace and finish strong.


Jane Cook was born and raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles, where she was nurtured in her twin loves of science and art by an industrial artist father. He taught her painting, landscape horticulture, automotive repair, and allowed her bedroom to be converted into a chemistry laboratory. Jane attended engineering schools, and received a B.S. in materials engineering from New Mexico Tech, and a Ph.D. in metallurgical engineering from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 1998. She worked for 17 years in research and development at Corning, Inc., was named inventor on over 30 patent applications, and received Corning's prestigious Stookey Award for outstanding exploratory research. She specialized in exploring new ways of making the ultra-high quality, high-temperature glass that enables today's flat-screen displays, and silicon semiconductors for photovoltaic solar panels.
Throughout the time in the industry, Cook continued to pursue painting, digitally and with acrylics, as means of personal expression. And after leaving corporate life in 2014 to be the Chief Scientist at the Corning Museum of Glass, she began to learn to work glass by hand, focusing on furnace blown and shaped sculptural forms. She pulls from her science and engineering background to explore themes of emergence within shifting reference frames, and the blurry lines between chaos, patterns, and understanding.
In the last three years, Cook has become a highly sought-after lecturer and teacher on the fundamental science of glass for non-scientists, and the nature of creativity and invention at the so-called "art/science interface." In addition to giving regular lectures and classes at The Studio at the Corning Museum of Glass, she travels extensively to colleges, universities, and art schools (including Pilchuck, UrbanGlass, MIT, and RISD) to show makers, artists, and craftspeople to use that knowledge to inform and advance their work in glass and mixed media.

Here are some photos and an extract from a magazine article published in Chile, translated from the original Spanish:
Here is a link to the original magazine page
Cazu Zegers the architect was commissioned to design the structure that will support the church bells of the Jesuit Church of the Society of Jesus, which after 150 years of being in a church in Wales, returned to Chile for display in the Plaza of the Constitution. They will then return to their original location, which is now the gardens of the former church.
The bells were more than three months aboard a ship of the Royal Navy, travelling from Wales to Valparaiso, on their journey back to Chile after 146 years. They are all that remained of the Jesuit Church of the Society of Jesus completely burned December 8, 1863, killing two thousand and five hundred people which resulted in the subsequent creation of the First Company of Santiago Fire Fighters.
The four pillars of the structure will be worked with axe as a tribute to the services of our ancestors.
Graham Vivian was the merchant who bought the bells after the tragedy, in order to take them to Swansea, Wales. However, his brother realized how valuable they were and took them to the church of All Saints Oystermouth, where they were from 1864. That is until last year, when the Chilean filmmaker Pedro Pablo Cabrera discovered the source of these and the significant heritage they had. Then the Foreign Ministry began the paperwork for the bells to be returned to the country. After February 27, the Anglican community unanimously decided to donate the bells to Chile as a way to remember the victims of the fire and the recent earthquake and tsunami.
The Department of Cultural Affairs of the Foreign Ministry, commissioned the architect Cazu Zegers to create a scene worthy to receive and display the bells in front of La Moneda, as a step prior to installation in their final location, the memorial gardens of the former church
Considering its 900 kilos, and the nature of the memorial, the architect designed a support of Oregon pine, based on four pillars of six feet high, each characterizing an attribute: disaster, solidarity, heroism and reconciliation. "We are fragile and we forget very quickly, but we also have a number of qualities, and those are shown about this structure," says Cazu, who after this conceptualisation asked the artist Jessica Torres to take charge of its assembly in the workshop of sculpture of University of Finis Terrae.
In addition, as president of the Foundation Lastarria Observatory, architect and cultural director Miguel Laborde, a peal of bells proposed by Chilean artists, will be made in four churches of the city centre between 4:30 and 5:30 am on September 29 to recreate the soundscape of 1863. This will be recorded and played on the same day, at the time of opening.


After a year in development at Madrona Labs, our fifth company, Rep the Squad, launched yesterday. The response was enthusiastic (ESPN, USA Today, Geekwire) – as the company aims to power sports passion throughout the country and build community in every city. The latest Madrona Labs spinout follows in the footsteps of companies where Madrona partnered from Day One with the founders (Rover, Redfin).
Rep the Squad is a new subscription service that provides fans unprecedented access to a wide variety of licensed sports jerseys for a monthly membership fee. We believe the company speaks directly to the modern passionate fan who is interested in "access over ownership." These engaged fans number in the tens of millions and they spend thousands of dollars every year supporting the teams and players they love. Rep the Squad empowers them to rep multiple players, jersey styles, and avoid the pitfalls of player trades or even a child's growth spurt.
We could not be more proud to partner with co-founders Brian Watkins and Alex Berg. They exemplify the best of what we look for in Madrona Labs spinout founders — passion for the market (sports), deep domain experience (ecommerce), and the proven grit and resilience needed to take an early stage startup to the next level. Brian and Alex worked together at both Ritani and Blue Nile and have brought together an exceptional team of ecommerce veterans.
Together, we have been able to assemble a uniquely Seattle startup team across the board. Local venture capital firms Madrona and Maveron were the first to commit to the $1.5M funding round. Seahawks Pro Bowler Doug Baldwin and Mariners legend Edgar Martinez, who's number 11 jersey was retired earlier this month at Safeco Field, personally invested. Seahawks All-Pro Richard Sherman, who is a big-time jersey collector and swapper himself, signed on as the Rep the Squad brand ambassador.
One of the advantages of operating a startup studio out of a venture capital firm is benefiting from the broader team and ecosystem. Ryan Metzger, a die-hard Seattle sports fan and Madrona's director of growth marketing, not only came up with the jersey rental concept, but he also worked with Aaron Wilson and others from our team in the early days to validate the idea and introduced us to CEO Brian Watkins, who he had worked with over a decade ago at Blue Nile. Our process consisted of market sizing, competitive analysis, hundreds of in-person interviews, ad-driven customer acquisition testing, and an in-season Seattle Seahawks minimally viable product (MVP) to test unit economics and operational assumptions. The project benefited from Madrona's existing relationship with Seahawks players and connections to the NFL Players Association, in which Scott Jacobson serves on their OneTeam Collective board of directors.
One of the advantages of operating a startup studio out of a venture capital firm is benefiting from the broader team and ecosystem.
We are thrilled to be a part of the early days of Rep the Squad and invite you to join us. To get started simply choose your favorite jersey and sign up. NFL season kick-off is just one week away, so what are you waiting for?!

Andrew Berger (left), Associate Professor of Optics, and Hani Awad (lower right), Professor of Biomedical Engineering, have received a $1.88 million, five-year grant from the National Institutes of Health for their project, "Raman Spectroscopic Platform for Transcutaneous Monitoring of Bone Quality." Currently, assessing the risk of bone fracture associated with osteoporosis relies primarily on measures of bone mineral density. These measurements are strongly correlated with bone strength, but not with fracture risk. The goal of this grant is to demonstrate Raman spectroscopy as a promising, noninvasive way to assess both bone strength and fracture risk, and to also detect improvements in bone quality in response to anti-resorptive and anabolic treatments.
Researchers Choi and Howell Create Digital Cloaking Device
Using the same mathematical framework as the Rochester Cloak, Dr. Joseph Choi of the Institute of Optics (left) and Prof. John Howell (lower right) of the Department of Physics and Astronomy have used flat screen displays to extend the range of angles that can be hidden from view. Their method lays out how cloaks of arbitrary shapes, that work from multiple viewpoints, may be practically realized in the near future using commercially available digital devices.

Die Synagoge in Sulzburg, einer Kleinstadt im Landkreis Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald im Südwesten von Baden-Württemberg, wurde 1821/22 errichtet und während der Novemberpogrome 1938 verwüstet. Die profanierte Synagoge befindet sich in der heutigen Gustav-Weil-Straße (früher Mühlbachstraße), die nach dem in Sulzburg geborenen Orientalisten Gustav Weil benannt wurde.

Geschichte
Die Entstehung der jüdischen Gemeinde Sulzburg geht in die Zeit des 16. Jahrhunderts zurück. Das heute noch bestehende Synagogengebäude wurden nach den Plänen des Architekten Johann Ludwig Weinbrenner, einem Neffen des bekannten badischen Architekten Friedrich Weinbrenner, errichtet. Sie wurde in einem spätbarock-klassizistischen Mischstil erbaut. In den Jahren 1876/77 wurde die Synagoge renoviert und im Untergeschoss ein rituelles Bad (Mikwe) eingebaut.

Die Synagoge in Sulzburg war nach den Synagogen in Karlsruhe und Randegg der dritte Synagogenbau im damaligen Großherzogtum Baden und ist heute die einzige nicht zerstörte Synagoge aus der Architekturschule Friedrich Weinbrenners.

Architektur
Der rechteckige Synagogenbau besitzt einen giebelbekrönten dorischen Portikus über dem Eingang und an der Ostwand eine eingelassene Nische für den Toraschrein. An den Längsseiten sind unten je fünf von einem Rundbogen überhöhte Zwillingsfenster und darüber fünf Rundfenster auf der Höhe der Empore vorhanden. Die dreiseitige Frauenempore ist durch zwei hölzerne Wendeltreppen im Innern des Gebäudes zu erreichen. Über dem Giebel sind zwei aus Sandstein gefertigte Gebotstafeln angebracht.

Zeit des Nationalsozialismus

Heutige Nutzung
Nach Abschluss der umfangreichen Restaurierungsarbeiten wurde die ehemalige Synagoge im Jahr 1984 als Haus der Begegnung eröffnet. Es finden kulturelle Veranstaltungen und Ausstellungen im Gebäude statt.

Die Synagoge ist am ersten und letzten Sonntag im Monat von 16 bis 18 Uhr geöffnet, bei Ausstellungen täglich.
