Extranet sites or Sites having access to external users in SharePoint have been in use for long, across various organizations. It provides great collaboration when working with multiple vendors/partners. There are various articles about external sharing capabilities of SharePoint Online. In this article I am just going to focus on migration scenarios only.
Using separate Forms Authenticated web application with ASP.Net membership provider or even using 3rd party tools like Extranet Collaboration Manager.
If you are using option #1 or #2 from the above list, then from SharePoint perspective those users are NOT external users at all. Those are just additional AD users who may have different permissions than regular users. These users can be imported in Azure AD using Azure AD Connect (either with password sync or federated with ADFS) and related sites can be migrated as is. Such external users can continue accessing the sites using their AD credentials.
I will focus on a scenario, where we don't want to have external users in the AD anymore. Option #3 above is the closest match in this case.
You can decide to move external users from your AD to SharePoint online using this approach as well. However, users' identities may change in this case.
External Sharing feature in SharePoint Online is based on Azure AD B2B collaboration, Well, almost 🙂 This article explains some subtle differences in invite experience when sending the invites from within SharePoint Online or OneDrive sites. But those are not relevant for migration scenarios as all such users need to be added already before migration starts.
At the end of the day, the invited user will be added as a Guest in Azure AD. Once the guest user is added and invitation is "redeemed", i.e. the guest user accepts the invite and registers his email ID as a microsoft account, he/she can be given permissions to SharePoint sites/lists/libraries like any other regular user.
So now we know "what" needs to be done – essentially, we need to add all the existing external users as Guests in Azure AD and replicate permissions in the migrated sites, it's time to look into "How" to go for it.
This goes without saying, to enable external sharing in SharePoint Online sites, it must first be enabled at the tenant level. Since this article is about migration, I would enable this option " Allow sharing only with the external users that already exist in your organization's directory " at tenant level also.
If you want new invited users to be added in Azure AD automatically, you can chose the option "Allow users to invite and share with authenticated external users". If You do so, you can still chose a lower permission at individual site collection level.
In most on-premise SharePoint farms, extranet sites are hosted in a separate Web Application to ensure external users don't get access to other team sites which are not meant to be shared with them. It also helps in applying a different authentication (like FBA).
Obviously, you can decide to do this other way around. This helps in having a better way to easily identify which site collections have (or may have) external access enabled. So, as part of the governance policy, only sites under /teams will have external access enabled at site collection level.
If you want to create modern sites (aka Office 365 Groups) as external site under /teams, you can change the site creation setting in SharePoint Central Admin and then create a site from https://<tenant.sharepoint.com>/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx, Create Site option.
Now we need to find out all the external user accounts which need to be migrated to SharePoint Online. Depending upon the approach used in on-premise SharePoint environment, that may come from different source.
If for external users a separate active directory is created and you want to continue using the same approach in SharePoint Online, maybe this article is NOT what you should be referring. This is because such users are treated similar to normal users and SharePoint Online won't classify those users as External Users (or Guest Users).
For migrating such users you can follow this article to sync that additional domain with Azure AD. After the accounts are synced with Azure AD, they can be used for giving permissions in migrated sites and existing users will get migrated with the site.
This is where we will focus in this article. Most of the external access implementations that I have seen in on-premise SharePoint environments, use this approach either using ASP.Net membership provider or using some third party tool. Both of these store the users detail in a separate database and that list can be extracted easily from there using SQL queries. Extracting Users' display name and email ID are the minimum that we would need in this scenario.
Now that the preparations are done, lets get started about how to move users to Azure AD. The extracted users need to be put in specific CSV format.
If you have users from various other partner organizations, you can prepare multiple such CSV files as well – one for each partner organization.
This is actually an optional step. This is required only for external users with consumer email IDs like Gmail.com.
For users from partner organizations having business email IDs , there is a way to suppress invitation acceptance with some additional steps.
I like to have a separate site collection created with the landing page showing some nice message for guests who accepts the invitation. Give "everyone" read access to this site and use this as the target page to show after guests accept invitation. We'll use the url of this page in the invitation script in next section.
Now that we have the list of users prepared in a csv, let's name that say "AllExternalUsers.csv", we are ready to send the invitations.
In this approach, we need wait for invited users to accept the invite before those accounts can be used to give permissions. If you migrate the sites before those users have accepted the invitation, their accounts won't be found in SharePoint online.
Use the PowerShell script below to add users using consumer email IDs in Azure AD as guests.
$invitations = import-csv "D:\O365 Migration\External Access in O365\AllExternalUsers.csv"
$messageInfo.customizedMessageBody = "Please register your mail ID as a microsoft account (if it's not already) by clicking Get Started button below. You will receive separate mail(s) when permissions are given to you in specific site(s)"
For users from partner organizations, you can follow steps mentioned in this article to add users and automatically redeem their invitations. Or you can use the script above but change the message accordingly.
After the script gets completed successfully, you can verify that the users have got added in Azure AD as guest.
When users get added to Azure AD as guests, they receive an email invitation on their mail ID which is being added. They need to accept that invitation by clicking the "Get Started" button in the mail.
If the email ID is a consumer account and not registered as microsoft account, then users will be guided to register that. Normally this is just 2-3 clicks. Once done, they will be redirected to a page which would be configured as the target page to show with the invitation in the script above.
After accepting the invitation, users will be redirected to the welcome page we setup in one of the previous steps.
If the invited user is using an external instance of Azure AD and being added as a guest user in the inviting organization, in this case, the guest user signs in by using an Azure AD account that belongs to the his own tenant. If the partner organization doesn't use Azure AD, the guest user in Azure AD is still created. The requirements are that they redeem their invitation and Azure AD verifies their email address. This arrangement is also called a just-in-time (JIT) tenancy or a "viral" tenancy.
Once users have accepted the invites or users have been added with suppressed acceptance, we are all set. All we need to do is to use your favorite migration tool to migrate sites from on-premise SharePoint to SharePoint online with permissions. This one is the latest and free from Microsoft.
After migration gets completed, verify if sites having external access enabled, resolved the guest users from Azure AD correctly and permissions got assigned successfully.

Born in Powell River in 1957, Richard (Rick, Rocky, Rich) Reeves passed away unexpectedly in the late hours of December 19th, 2018 in Chilliwack, BC.
A Gemini through and through, Richard was sensitive, complex and brilliantly intelligent. Always ready for an intellectual challenge and adventure, he was kind hearted and generous to his friends and the causes he supported, but he did not suffer fools gladly, as those who were on the receiving end of his quick witted, acerbic tongue can attest.
A very proud member of the Boy Scouts, he attended numerous International Jamborees, including when, at 19 years old, he rode his 10 speed 3,800 miles from Chilliwack to Cabot, Prince Edward Island.
Richard often credited his love of travelling and history to his passion for collecting world coins, which he started as a child. His travels took him throughout most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Greece, Iceland, Iran, across Canada and the U.S., where he had a home in Arizona for a number of years. Road trips in fast cars were a passion, frequently birding, golfing, gambling and viewing the world through the lens of a camera along the way. Scrabble player and crossword solver extraordinaire, he was a loyal Canucks fan, loved Glenfiddich Scotch, Joni Mitchell, Nanaimo Bars, reading obituaries, researching his Norwegian ancestry, and cooking for his mother while they yelled at the TV watching hockey together.
Accompanying his father to logging sites and antique sales, Richard developed a love for log homes and considerable knowledge of antiques. He lovingly restored the family cottage at Cultus Lake, sanding and staining the logs into the night, spending hours on a ladder cutting ivy out of the trees, and hand picking and laying coloured river rocks into the creek passing by the house, with Magoo, his Umbrella Cockatoo, singing "Oh Canada" and supervising from the trees above.
In between his many adventures Richard attended and graduated from the BCIT Marketing Management program, where he fondly reminisced about his marketing plan for Vancouver's legendary Penthouse Nightclub. He went into Real Estate at 21, selling many of the original properties at Lindell Beach, and was amongst the Top Ten Canadian realtors within his firm in 1992. Following a move to Toronto and working in real estate for a time, he purchased a number of printing businesses and worked in the industry for 18 years. He continued to know the Pantone colours by heart and could identify hundreds of papers by touch.
Moving back to BC. following the theft of his two beloved parrots Hayley and Phoenix, Richard struggled with PTSD and depression, but continued to strive for, and find resilience. Always an extraordinary cook and well known for his dinner parties, he enrolled in the Red Seal Culinary Arts Program at the University of the Fraser Valley, and enjoyed cooking at a number of Fraser Valley restaurants. His Danish influenced open faced sandwiches were works of art!
Richard was a colourful personality – charming, passionate, and yes, naughty! He was both adored and despised by many women, leaving countless weak in the knees. He had exquisite taste, and his many suits were the colours of the rainbow – he insisted on doing his own laundry so that his cloths were folded just so.
Prior to his passing, Richard was finalizing plans to move to Jasper, where he was going to work in the hospitality industry. Unfortunately, with a history of heart problems and the recent death of his best friend, Bernese Mountain Dog, Axel, his heart was literally broken.
Predeceased by his treasured parents Jack and Ella, and his beloved best friends Axel and Magoo, Richard is survived by his sister Kathryn Bruce (Calgary), and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Heartbroken is his former partner and friend, Brenda Fredrick (Ashley, Jason, Aianna, Chay). Richard is also survived by his estranged sister Barb Candow, and sadly three nieces whom he absolutely adored: Natalie, Hayley, and Sydney.
Respecting Richard's wishes, there will not be a service.
Arrangements and Condolences: Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, Chilliwack.
In lieu of flowers, gifts in his memory to Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary, directed toward Medical Care, would be most appreciated.
Richard would also implore his friends and those he loved, who continue to smoke, to please STOP – he had, but unfortunately too late in life, and he had developed COPD.

Q: Github action windows runner: How to remove all sh.exe from PATH Inside a github windows runner, I need to remove all sh.exe find from PATH otherwise my Make 4.3 based build will fail to correctly parse our Makefiles...
I currently see 2 solutions to fix it:

*

*Remove all sh.exe dirname path from PATH (i.e. updating the GITHUB_PATH).

*An other way could be to directly remove any sh.exe found in the windows action runner.

What I have tested so far without success...

*

*First try

- name: Remove sh.exe from PATH
  run: set GITHUB_PATH -= "/c/Program Files/Git/bin"

error: A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '/c/Program Files/Git/bin'.

*Tried to use bash instead

- name: Remove sh.exe from PATH
  run: |
        echo "$PATH"
        set PATH=%PATH:C:\Program Files\Git\bin;=%
        set PATH=%PATH:C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;=%
        echo "$PATH" > $GITHUB_PATH
  shell: bash

error: line 2: =%: command not found
Annexe
Github only provide example for adding path to PATH not removing one.
ref: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#adding-a-system-path

A: To get rid of sh.exe (i.e. solution 2)
you should try to add the following cmd to your .yml file:
    - name: Find sh.exe
      run: where sh
    - name: remove Git\usr\bin\sh.exe
      run: rm 'C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\sh.exe'
      shell: bash
    - name: remove Git\bin\sh.exe
      run: rm 'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe'
      shell: bash

or
    - name: Clean sh.exe
      run: |
        where sh
        rm 'C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\sh.exe'
        rm 'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe'
      shell: bash

Hashtag: Explain A Film Plot Badly

In case you missed it, there was a fun little game trending on Twitter over the weekend, with the hashtag "Explain A Film Plot Badly." It's kind of similar to this old thing I wrote. Here are the ones I came up with, in order of when they were tweeted (answers can be found in the tags for this article, but I think you'll get 'em all):

Hercules – Needs More Blood!

Hercules, USA, 2014
Directed by Brett Ratner
Action fans would look upon Brett Ratner's X-Men 3 more fondly if no other X-men movies existed before or after it. Sadly, The Last Stand stands as the least enjoyable of the mutant franchise, and I attribute this largely to Ratner's approach to action sequences. When he attaches himself to a solid story and a talented cast, he can churn out immensely watchable guilty pleasures like After the Sunset (2004) or the pilot to Prison Break, which hooked me into a hermit-like Netflix binge, burning through all four seasons in six weeks. So what about Ratner's take on Hercules? The iconic lion's head? Check. Dwayne Johnson dons the headgear like Riddick putting on his goggles just before opening up a can of whoop-ass, and you've got the familiar trope of a son struggling with who his father really is—see Superman, Simon Birch, Inception, The Empire Strikes Back, or even TV's Archer.

Every year, I struggle with the relatively arbitrary process of ranking movies, so this year I've decided to do something a little different. Instead of a traditional Top Ten list, I'm grouping two thematically connected films together for each place on the list, resulting in a hopefully more interesting Top 20 list. I've also included a more traditional Top Ten below that, for all you "too long, didn't read" folks. One final note before we get to the list: it should tell you a lot about my credibility as a film critic that I liked Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa more than most of the Academy Award Best Picture nominees for 2013.
10. THE WICKER MAN: FINAL CUT / JURASSIC PARK 3-D – BEST RE-RELEASES. Obviously, this category doesn't really count, as both of these films were originally released decades ago, but I can't deny that each of them provided one of the most enjoyable experiences I had in a movie theater in 2013. This new cut of the original 1973 classic The Wicker Man adds some nuance and more musical numbers to an already great film. Most crucially, it opens with a scene of Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) praying in church, emphasizing his piousness from the very start, which enriches the events to follow. Jurassic Park, on the other hand, is quite simply my favorite movie (it has the most dinosaurs in it – I rest my case), and seeing it on a big screen again, in 3-D no less, made me fall in love with it all over again.

10 Sequels That Are (Arguably) Better Than The Original
Posted 27 Nov 2013 — by Ezra Stead
We're used to movie franchises being victim to diminishing returns, with the sequels to classic films generally lackluster at best (Ghostbusters II, Halloween II), and at worst, utter travesties that threaten to tarnish the legacy of the original (the Matrix sequels, The Godfather: Part III). On rare occasions, though, the second film in a trilogy or franchise (which I consider to be any series with more than three movies) actually surpasses the original in some way. Here are ten sequels that are, in some circles at least, considered better than the films that spawned them, and my thoughts on each.
1. THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) – this is the one that got me thinking about the topic in the first place, and it's also the oldest of the films discussed herein. James Whale's follow-up to his 1931 hit, Frankenstein, ties up the loose end of Victor Frankenstein (Colin Clive) promising his monster (Boris Karloff) a bride to quell his loneliness. It also features most of the iconic images and dialogue associated with Universal Studios' most famous monster, including Frank learning to smoke in the hut of the blind man he befriends (which was cemented in the public consciousness by Mel Brooks' spoof of it in 1974's Young Frankenstein). Bride's expert blend of humor and pathos, as well as truly chilling moments such as Frank's hollow, soulless intonation of the classic line, "I love dead," make it not only better than the original Frankenstein, but also the best of all Universal monster movies.

Ezra's Top 10 Favorite Films of 2012
Category Essay, Film Reviews, Movies I Didn't Get, Movies I Got
I've been making these lists, in one form or another, for a dozen years now, and every year I've done my best to balance my own personal preferences with an objective and educated view of cinema in order to recommend not only my personal favorite films of any given year, but also those I believe to be the best. Well, no more! This year, and forever onward, I strive to give you only my own subjective favorites, the films that I have watched and am likely to watch over and over again throughout the years. When I look back over the last five years, for example, I have to admit that these have proven to be my actual favorite films, despite what I may have written at the time in an effort to recognize other worthy cinematic achievements to which I may or may not have returned even once in the years since: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007); The Dark Knight (2008); Inglourious Basterds (2009); Dogtooth (2010); and Drive (2011).
Of those five, only Dogtooth actually topped my list at the time. So, with this in mind, I present my favorite films of 2012, in all their highly subjective glory. Since ranking films in order of preference is often at least somewhat arbitrary, I should admit that some of these may have made it into the top 10, rather than the runner-up category, solely because they were more fun to write about. However, my top 5 is solidly made up of films I have already seen at least twice, and feel strongly that I would be more than happy to watch again at absolutely any time. Read More

Prometheus – We've Been Here Before
Posted 24 Jun 2012 — by Jason A. Hill
Category Essay, Film Reviews, Movies I Didn't Get
By Jason A. Hill
Prometheus, USA, 2012
Directed by Ridley Scott
Much has been said about Ridley Scott's career of late. Even though he's given us such great additions to the Sci Fi lexicon as Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982), much remains to be concluded concerning his legacy or if he can return to his former glory. Unfortunately, Prometheus does not help the conversation in his favor. Prometheus is visually stunning and the FX are what you would expect from a big-budget film, it's ambitious and epic within its context, performances by Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender are memorable, but the film slowly falls apart in its far-reaching themes and illogical plot.

Movie Haiku
Category Animation, Anime, Film Reviews, Most Confusing Films of All time, Movies I Didn't Get, Movies I Got
Let's stray from the beaten path for awhile, shall we? Instead of a review in the usual format, today I'd like to offer up thoughts on over 25 films, mostly some of my favorites, but with a few that I love to hate thrown in for good measure. Only a few of these actually work as reviews; most are free-form poetic interpretations of the feelings they brought up in me. Some are just plain silly. At any rate, all are written in the form of the ancient Japanese art of haiku. For those who don't know, that means five syllables in the first line, seven in the next, and another five in the last, preferably with some sort of twist in the last line or, failing that, at least a sense of poetry throughout. Almost all of these were written sometime in 2005, which explains why there are three inspired by Frank Miller's Sin City, my favorite film that year. Let's begin with a couple of actual Japanese films:
The net is vast and / infinite. Now that we two / have merged, where to go?
– Ghost in the Shell (1995)
Tetsuo – not the / Iron Man, but a bike punk / transcends earthly life.

One of the cruel realities of having five children, a farm, a part-time job, side writing projects, being stage manager for a dance school, and managing illness is that there is never enough time. That isn't a complaint. I love my life and all the things in it. No, it's simply fact. I am very often out of time.
Which is why I hate Yellowstone National Park.
I have made three trips through the park in the past nine weeks. You see it's a little-known fact that in addition to being an amazing land full of natural marvels and amazing sights, it's also the quickest road between several western states. Although "quickest" is relative. My problem with the park is that I am trying to get through it. And that I am alone in that quest.
My children have now learned to duck down when I offer helpful tips to other drivers ("Pull over, then take pictures"). My knuckles get white. There is a permanent cramp in my ankle from the stop and go. I have rolled my eyes enough to make them come loose.
The sad fact is, not everyone should be allowed out in nature. That sounds cruel, I know. But sitting at Old Faithful one day, I watched a tourist use a $3000 camera to take a picture of a crow. Clearly some people cannot handle the heady sauce that is wildlife.
I have watched people stop directly in front of a buffalo and honk and gun their engines.
I have watched people try to seat their children on or near buffalo for pictures.
I have watched people get between a buffalo cow and her calf.
I get that buffalo look like an animal invented by Disney. They do look soft and fluffy. I imagine that effect diminishes slightly when the animal is trying to kill you. But, I can't be sure.
On the second trip through the park, my eldest daughter and I saw a grizzly with two cubs (please see my earlier article on grizzlies to see why this does not reflect well on us). People were walking way, way too close, but I suppressed the eye-rolling until we saw one very petite woman running full speed at the bear with her camera.
Unless your camera options include "force field," this is not a great idea. I just shook my head and maneuvered carefully past all the parked cars. There is a thin line between bystander and witness. There was no way I was going to spend the afternoon filling out witness forms.
But none of this is really the problem. The problem is that I am just trying to get through the park, buffalo, crows, bears, and tourists notwithstanding. I fully realize that for many people a trip to Yellowstone Park is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. And that is exactly why I think they should pull to the shoulder of the road so they can really savor it.
When my two youngest sisters were not quite teens,we drove them through the park. Almost as soon as we entered, there was a giant, lone buffalo standing on the road. My sisters oohed and ahhed. My husband and I sat waiting impatiently for it to move.
Shortly after that, I flew out to Washington State and stopped to see my sisters. At the time, they lived on a beautiful island in Puget Sound. As I stood on the ferry looking out, I saw something in the water. Dolphins! No way. Real, live dolphins. I was so excited. I oohed and ahhed. The locals complained because the dolphins would make the ferry late.
G.K. Chesterton said, "We are perishing for want of wonder, notfor want of wonders." I am quite certain he is right. I am also quite certain that I am glad not to be going through the park again this summer.

AAC Clyde Space advances the xSPANCION project
2021-11-09 AAC Clyde Space AB (publ)
AAC Clyde Space and its partners, have successfully completed the first phase of the xSPANCION project with a successful Preliminary Design Review, conducted jointly with the European Space Agency (ESA). Together with the partners, the company has agreed to accelerate the project by kicking off the Spacecraft Manufacturing Preparation Phase. To achieve this, a Phase 2 has been introduced to the project valued at 5.6 MEUR (approx. 57.3 MSEK), of which the UK Space Agency, through the ESA's Pioneer Partnership Projects, will contribute 2.8 MEUR (approx. 28.7 MSEK).
The 3-year project, previously announced 18th November 2020 by AAC Clyde Space aims to develop an innovative satellite constellation service. The total 19.7 M€ (approx. 201.7 MSEK) project is co-funded by the UK Space Agency, through ESA's Pioneer Partnership Projects, with 9.9 M€ (approx. 100.9 MSEK).
The first phase of the project up to Preliminary Design Review, valued at 1.8 M€ (approx. 18.4 MSEK), was initiated late 2020.
"xSPANCION promises to revolutionize our Space Data as a Service offering with technology that will allow us to share significantly lower costs for space-based data with customers. We want the project to catalyze a new generation of applications not previously possible, appealing to both new and existing customers. The start of Phase 2 will ensure that we can continue the project at full speed.", says AAC Clyde Space CEO Luis Gomes.
"ESA's Pioneer programme provides innovators and entrepreneurs like AAC Clyde Space the framework to develop new products and services in a cost-effective and agile way, creating jobs, boosting prosperity and supporting the success of the European space industry", says ESA Telecommunications and Integrated Applications Director, Elodie Viau.
The Manufacturing Preparation Phase, or Phase 2, has now started and is expected to be finalized by the end of 2022. It includes detailed design of constellation-ready spacecraft, development of digital production processes, constellation operations capability together with licensing, regulation, and more efficient launch coordination to deliver a step-change in capability to deliver constellations. This new phase of the project is valued at 5.6 M€ (approx. 57.3 MSEK), of which the UK Space Agency, through the ESA ARTES Pioneer Partnership Programme, will contribute 2.8 M€ (approx. 28.7 MSEK). The funding from UK Space Agency in this phase will, as in the initial phase, be recognized as revenue with no net margin while AAC Clyde Space and its partners will co-fund the remaining 2.8 M€ (approx. 28.9 MSEK).
AAC Clyde Space continues discussions with selected customers to enter agreements for data delivery from the constellation service. The dialogues are ongoing and are expected to be completed before the start of the third and final phase of the project, which includes the manufacturing of 10 novel spacecraft and the launch of 4 demonstration spacecraft. This Phase 3 is expected to commence during the first six months of 2022, with completion end of 2023, and a value of 12.3 M€ (approx. 126.0 MSEK).
The xSPANCION project is supported by the UK Space Agency through the ESA ARTES Pioneer Partnership Programme. It is structured as a Public Private Partnership, in which AAC Clyde Space and its partners, Bright Ascension Ltd., the University of Strathclyde, D-Orbit UK, Alden Legal UK and the Satellite Applications Catapult are working in partnership with the UK Space Agency and the European Space Agency to develop a Space Data as a Service offering.

Preparing a deck to accept new stain isn't difficult because the liquid strippers and cleaners do most of the work. However, it's the one step where some DIYers take shortcuts and that's a huge mistake. If you fail to strip off all the old water/acrylic base finish, the new finish will fail early. The same applies to taking shortcuts with the cleaning/neutralizing step. Wood cleaner neutralizes the stripper, removes dirt, brightens the wood and opens the wood's pores so it can more readily absorb the new stain. Prepping the deck properly is critical to achieving an even application that penetrates, adheres well, repels water, shields against sun damage and lasts the longest. Here's how to prepare your deck for staining.
Protect plants around your deck with a fabric drop cloth or light colored tarp (not clear poly sheeting—the "greenhouse-effect" will fry your plants especially if the sun is out). Then wet down the siding near the deck using your garden hose. Wet surfaces are less likely to be damaged by splashes from the stripping products. Clean off all loose deck debris with a push broom or leaf blower.
Make sure you are wearing proper protective clothing including eye protection and acid resistant gloves. Shake the Behr Wood Stain & Finish Stripper® and pour it into a paint tray. Working in small sections, roll on a thick coating using a ½-in or ¾-in. nap roller and an extension pole. Wash off any stripper that may have splashed onto areas not intended for stripping. Let the stripper settle into the wood for 15-45mins. If the stripper starts to dry during this period, re-wet it with water. Then scrub the boards with a stiff bristle broom. If you have thick layers of stain, you'll speed up the job by scraping off the residue with a floor scraper. If that's the case, you'll likely have to reapply more stripper for the scrubbing step. Rinse off the stripper and loosened stain using a stiff stream from a garden hose nozzle or a pressure washer set to the lowest setting. A pressure washer makes the job much easier. If you only have a garden hose, you'll have to do some more scrubbing as you rinse.
Let the deck dry and areas that need additional treatment will be obvious. Repeat the stripping/scrubbing routine on those spots.
If, after several rounds of stripping you still have patches of stain, sand them with a random orbital sander. Now you're ready to clean and neutralize the deck. Or, hire a professional floor sanding company to sand the entire deck.
Clean the deck using Behr Premium All-In-One Wood Cleaner®. Mix a 50/50 solution of water and cleaner for reasonably clean wood, or use the cleaner at full strength for extremely weathered boards. Experiment with a small area to determine which is best. Wet the wood with your garden hose and apply a liberal coating of the cleaner using a pump sprayer. Let the cleaner sit for 10 to 15-min. before scrubbing with a stiff bristle broom. Then rinse the entire deck and let it dry.
Lightly sand the deck with a drywall sanding pad and 150-grit sanding screen. That'll knock down any raised wood fibers and give much smoother finish. Blow off the sanding dust with a leaf blower and you're ready to stain!

1:18 Scale 2019 Bathurst Winner #17 Ford Mustang GT McLaughlin/Premat Model
After setting that unforgettable pole lap in 2017 and claiming a podium finish in 2018, 2019 was the year where Scott McLaughlin and Alexandre Prémat finally stood on the top step of the podium holding the Peter Brock Trophy aloft as winners of Australia's 'Great Race', the Bathurst 1000.
The iconic #17 Shell V-Power Ford Mustang GT was a rocket all weekend, repeatedly breaking the practice lap record before McLaughlin again dominated Mount Panorama in another breathtaking Top 10 Shootout, setting a new fastest-ever Supercars lap of the 6.213km circuit to secure pole position.
Come race day, McLaughlin and Prémat either led or were among the lead pack all day but, after more than six hours of racing and a number of late-race Safety Car periods that set up a restart on Lap 161, it all boiled down to one final nail-biting lap. Despite cold tyres and immense pressure from a fast-finishing Shane van Gisbergen, McLaughlin skated his way around the mountain to take the chequered flag first, 0.6800s ahead of his Red Bull Holden Racing Team rival.
It marked the first Bathurst 1000 victory for both McLaughlin and Prémat, who became the first Frenchman to win the Great Race. The win fell 25 years after Dick Johnson's last Bathurst win in 1994 and was the first since the formation of DJR Team Penske, with both Johnson and Roger Penske joining their drivers on the podium to celebrate an emotional and iconic triumph for the team.
Dressed in the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 livery, don't miss McLaughlin and Premat's 2019 Bathurst Winner in 1:18 scale which has been produced by Authentic Collectables in high quality die-cast with detailed interior and opening parts in a limited edition of 7000 with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. A scale replica of the Peter Brock trophy is also included.

Javanese language shift in the coastal area of special region of Yogyakarta province / Dwi Atmawati
Atmawati, Dwi (2020) Javanese language shift in the coastal area of special region of Yogyakarta province / Dwi Atmawati. International Journal of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics (IJMAL), 4 (4). pp. 33-47. ISSN 2600-7266
Official URL: http://myjms.mohe.gov.my/index.php/ijmal/article/v...
Indonesia has one national language, namely Indonesian and 718 local languages. One of the local languages in Indonesia is Javanese. Javanese has levels, namely Javanese krama and Javanese ngoko. Krama Javanese is usually used for the purpose of respect or politeness. Ngoko Javanese is usually used to communicate with people of the same age. The data were collected by means of observation, surveys, interviews, and distributing questionnaires to respondents. This data was primary data. Respondents were selected by purposive sampling technique. The procedures for analyzing data were inputting data, grouping question items, calculating the composition of respondents, compiling and describing the index. The data were processed using the SPSS program and then analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The theory used was the theory of language shift. The results of this study indicated that in the DIY coastal area there was a shift in the use of Javanese. In the past, Javanese was used to communicate with the family and in daily conversations with fellow Javanese people, now some of its speakers have switched to using Indonesian. Speakers of children and adolescents tended to be less able to speak Javanese, both ngoko and krama. The vitality of the Javanese language in the DIY coastal area based on the calculation of the indicator index was 0.73. The index value indicates that Javanese in the DIY coastal area was in the index number 0.61-0.80 or in a stable but threatened position.

Just saw this - one BIG issue

This was a well-made movie and very entertaining - I just had one problem.
At the end, Polley repeatedly says she wanted the story in order to tell everyone's versions of the events and of her mother, and expose the differences in their 'truths'. But everyone basically agrees - there are absolutely no differing perspectives about her mom's character, or about what happened. No one disagrees about anything. And she never says, 'I realized everyone agreed about my mom's character' - she just reinforces the false notion that everyone is telling a different version. Did that bug anyone else?
[–] moulmein 8 years ago
Yeah; it bothered me as well. Also: notice that Sarah's mom is "played" by an actress. And she's not the only one. The cast mixes actual family members with actors portraying them...
Share this Reply
[–] badger-ken 8 years ago
The people played themselves in the present - some of the past 'home movie' footage was made for the movie using actors. Just look at the credits.
[–] jcarrig 7 years ago
This is no secret in the film either. There is a section that reveals these actors and actresses in the same room as Sarah Polley, and it is deliberately shown that there is modern filmmaking equipment present and make up being applied to what we were led to believe are the real articles. It was revealed as a twist, basically.
[–] Clyburn 7 years ago
Agree with the consensus. Trying to push this film as a study in differing perceptions is a huge leap. I like Sarah Polley and want to support her but no, that is some pretty preposterous spin.
The differences people have brought up in this thread are the sort of trivial stuff that would be almost impossible not to occur among a bunch of humans over long-past events. Humans are notoriously bad witnesses when it comes to obvious stuff that just happened right under their noses. To have a few differences of perception in nuanced peripheral stuff that happened 35 years past - frankly, that's as unremarkable as it gets.
Having seen studies about how goofy people can be with matters of observation and memory, the most striking thing about this film was how stunningly close to unanimous everyone was. There is SO much room for memory to be twisted by emotion - it would be so natural - but it doesn't happen.
Amazingly rational, clear-thinking bunch.
[–] jessie-lane3 5 years ago
Sarah Polley's mom died in 1990. Could that be why? So they wouldn't have to rely on footage.
[–] hanrahanpm 8 years ago
Same here. Saw it today and marvelled at it but didn't see the inconsistencies mentioned either. Had read something about it beforehand but loved how the main parts were played so well by such accomplished actors. Ms. Polley has produced a wonderful follow-up to "Away From Her".
[–] PotassiumMan 8 years ago
That's a fair point, but overall I didn't have a problem with the substance of the film. What annoyed me was the film's delivery in the final stretch. For about four or five scenes, the film's narrative acts as if its seconds aways from ending, but then has one more thing to add and then one more thing, and then one more thing. I found that annoying, but it didn't keep me from respecting the film as a whole. That may be an esoteric mode of storytelling but it took away from what up to that point had been a great film with some wonderful truths in it.
[–] emvan 8 years ago
There's no question that many critics are greatly over-emphasizing the degree of disagreement in the stories. This is hardly Rashomon.
However, the film is indeed chock full of small differences. The key is that the viewer is almost always instantly able to recognize these as different sides of the same truth, rather than contradictions. For instance, after several friends report that Diane knew she was dying, Michael opines that she didn't know, and as evidence, tells the story of her stripping a table so that it could be refinished, as part of a larger project which she could never complete. You immediately understand that this was almost certainly Diane not wanting to act like she knew she was dying when she was with her immediate family (and enjoying the sort of process of denial that this entailed).
The point of the "many truths" is not that they contradict one another, but that they complement one another. No one person has the full picture. Only when you hear Diane's story from multiple perspectives does a complete portrait emerge, and no one soul, not even Michael, had access to that full truth.
We all turn our experiences into our memories, which are the stories we tell. A documentary about really messed up people would probably feature flat-out contradictions, because messed-up people tend to falsify their memories. These are reasonably well-adjusted people whose memories are merely limited by their sole perspective and sculpted to fit their ordinary emotional needs. The individual memories are pieces of a puzzle, but they are pieces that do fit together.
Prepare your minds for a new scale of physical, scientific values, gentlemen.
[–] sneagle1 8 years ago
The film was about 30 minutes too long. And the fake footage bothered me. Perhaps it was another way of saying that truth is often elusive.
But there were more differences between the stories. For instance, some said Diana had no secrets. Others said he had lots of secrets. And the big difference was many knew of her affair while others had no clue.
Also, each character had a different reason to tell their story. Look at the gossip lady who named the wrong person...she was smiling as she did so. She loved to gossip and it showed. And Harry wanted the story to be about him. While, Sarah was looking for answers where there were no answers.
In my opinion, the part about Michael saying Diana did not know she was dying showed how clueless he was and how emotionally detached they were as a couple.
[–] Jaythestingray 7 years ago
I agree with you on the length.
[–] usarmycwo 4 years ago
Reassuring to see my feeling isn't misplaced.
[–] ankmiike 7 years ago
Also, her mom and biological father thought that they were quite open about their relationship, and all her friends knew. But, in the end it's said that all of her friends were shocked when they heard about what kind of relationship her mom and "bio-dad" had shared. They all thought that it was someone else who was Sarah Polley's father.
It ain't about inconsistencies in their stories, it's about how no one had the complete true story. Which is what Sarah gives us by piecing together, through interviews, all of the different pieces to form the complete true story. You're not spoon-fed about how differently they saw Sarah's mother, you'll just have to figure out for yourself how different their story must have been with only part of the whole truth.
Seek to understand, not judge.
[–] munroe-9 7 years ago
Yes, emvan! So well said.
I was so impressed with the emotional honesty of all of her family members - they had all pondered the situation deeply and were trying to tell their stories and be fair. How rare is that? Such a great gift. And yes, it's their memories and their perspectives that come together. It should neither be "everything meshes to show the 'truth'" NOR "every story is different and thus contradictory" - it's a complex blend.

emvan,
I appreciate your thoughtful analysis (from two years ago), and completely agree with your reference to the importance of 'collective memory'.
A person very close to me spent her final few days disregarding tasks that would outlive her, while subtly reminding those close to her that she loved them, and tidying up the garden where she would end her life. She knew that this place would soon be filled with bereaved loved ones, which it indeed was. As the years pass since her death, at family gatherings I'm struck by the absence of her contribution to the collective memory. Everyone relating their personal recollection is being complete and honest, yet her perspectives of the story are forever missing. Crucial portions of an unfinished jig-saw image that can now only be guessed-at by those surviving contributing their parts.
In 'Stories We Tell', as in life, even if Diane Polley's contemporary voice were present, there would still be ambiguities. Memory seems to reinterpret our experience almost immediately, which underscores the value of the collective memory.
I applaud Sarah Polley for presenting this very personal story, and feel she did her courageous best with what remained of fading, individual perspectives while they were still accessible.
Soon you will be dead, and your name as but a vapor,
and all those who remember your name will also soon be dead.
(paraphrase of Marcus Aurelius)

There seemed to be a big difference in how people think Diane reacted to news of her pregnancy. One son said she was delighted--it was something new and she loved new things. Everyone else said she was really conflicted about it. (And her change of mind on the way to the clinic would seem to prove this version correct.)
Otherwise, I agree. There really weren't wildly divergent perspectives on events.)
[–] alfred998 7 years ago
I'm so sorry that people don't remember right, or don't interpret right the elements of the film. It shows that even a simple exercise like this can be problematic to viewers. Her son was speaking about her delight after she decided to keep the baby. Michael wasn't clueless, he didn't want to speak about Diane's confrontation with death (he was the private one and chose all the time what he wanted to say). What disturbed me in the story was the competition between three intelligent people on who was going to appropriate the story. Harry probably wanted to make a movie, Sarah wanted this documentary and Michael wanted to write about it. I didn't get a clear image of Diane. We never heard her thinking, but this was kept on purpose because it wasn't about a clear portrait of her. Overall Diane was exploited by the two wining parties in this competition.
[–] trippycheez 6 years ago
I agree with this. At the end, the three main parties -- who had all been involved with show-business, filmmaking & writing to various extents -- all realize that this would make an interesting narrative, and they seem to squabble a little bit over who gets to tell the story. It stopped being about emotional family history and Diane and started being about how they could best frame the tale for public consumption.
Diane still seems mysterious to me. Where did she grow up? What were her parents like? I wanted to know these things.
[–] determinista 8 years ago
The differences in perspectives were rather subtle but they were there. I actually enjoyed that Polley did not hit her audience in the head with them. Some examples:
1) Harry is certain that Michael knew about the affair because of the way they interacted at her funeral. It turns out Michael didn't even know Harry was there.
2) A big one: Harry thought Diane was passionately in love with him and she did not leave Michael for the sake of her kids as a huge sacrifice. The family on the other hand believed that her heart belonged to Michael all along despite their flawed union. That's huge, isn't it? That's why Harry was so annoyed that Sarah wanted to give everyone an equal voice. He knew his version of the relationship had no chance to be told the way he wanted it. To him, he was the love of Diane's life. To the family, he was Sarah's father from a short-lived affair.
[–] PunchB 7 years ago
I can't believe people keep posting that they agree with the OP after your post. And you're not the only one having mentioned differences, albeit more subtle ones.
[–] RainyCloudz 7 years ago
Yeah, those are pretty big differences. I need to rewatch it!
[–] jockey-1 7 years ago
A very good post, but, I also still believe the OP is relevant: they are subtle differences, not substantial enough around which to revolve the whole story.
Right, with all the talk of the frailty of memory, and so on, I expected a BIG twist. For us to feel like we're watching one story about paternity and a mother who had died... but for it to suddenly flip and become something totally different. But it actually proceeded in a fairly straight-forward way.
[–] noveltylibrary 4 years ago
I waited for a twist too, something interesting. It never came.
[–] ivannano 7 years ago
I think that might be Polley's point - everyone involved had their own point of view of what situations meant.
Based on their own perspectives, they have created their own scenarios of what is the truth. Some may be right or maybe they are all wrong.
No one can really say at this point, what was the truth for her mother.
We can only listen and draw our on conclusions (of course, these too are coloured by our own experiences)
[–] PacificHeights 8 years ago
I had a major problem with that as well. The differences were subtle with the exception of egomaniac Harry.
God he was an egomaniac wasn't he? Didn't like him at all. And he's dreaming when he says their weeks-long love affair would have remain unchanged had she stayed with him.
[–] ufancat 8 years ago
Thanks! I had read reviews that mentioned the inconsistencies among different versions of the story, and thought I was going crazy when I couldn't identify them. So it's not just me then..

Q: SWRL rule in Protégé 4.3 I want to create a new class "Adult" to my ontology by using a SWRL rule, i used this rule:
Person(?p), age(?p, true), greaterThan(age, 18) -> Adult(?p)

I also installed pellet reasoner to execute this rule but the class is not created after reasonig.
So what is the correct way to use swrl rules in protege 4.3 to add new classes to the ontology?

Q: JSF Validation Error from Component that is not Rendered I have a form that has a field that needs to be rendered as a read-only value when in edit mode and as a drop-down select list when in create mode.
The read-only field (used in edit mode) is rendered as plain text using <h:outputText>. In create mode, the field is rendered <h:selectOneListbox> that has a required attribute of "true".
It seems to work as I expect most of the time, but occasionally I get a validation error when in edit mode (the select list box is not rendered) .
Here is the code snippet that has both fields defined with their rendered attributes set using the same boolean value (just one field negates the boolean to toggle).
<h:outputLabel id="lblBusinessArea" value="Business Area:" />
<h:panelGroup id="baGroup">
    <h:selectOneListbox id="businessAreaList" size="1"
            rendered="#{shiftDetailsController.canEditBusinessArea}"
            converter="businessAreaConverter"
            value="#{shiftDetailsController.selectedBusinessArea}"
            label="Business Area"
            required="true">
        <f:selectItems id="businessAreaListItems" value="#{shiftDetailsController.businessAreas}" />
        <a4j:support id="businessAreaA4j" event="onchange"
            ajaxSingle="true" reRender="deploymentGroupList, positionPayGroupList, sapPremCodeList" />
    </h:selectOneListbox>
    <h:outputText id="businessAreaRO"
         rendered="#{!shiftDetailsController.canEditBusinessArea}"
         value="#{shiftDetailsController.selectedBusinessArea.busAreaDesc}" />
</h:panelGroup>

Below is a screen clipping showing the field (in edit mode) rendered as read only. The "save" button was clicked and I get a validation error message that the field is required.

*

*The value should be there in the backing bean because the value displayed is from the same object (shiftDetailsController.selectedBusinessArea). The output text uses the description field on the business area ojbect and the select field uses the whole object where the SelectItem has the description in the label.

Any idea how this could be occurring?  I could set the required attribute using the same boolean value that determines the rendered state...so that it is only required when it is rendered...but since this problem is intermittent...I don't know that will really help.
I also verified that no other components on the page inadvertently have a label value of "Business Area" (which is being used in the validation message) to mislead me in which component truly has a null value; this is the only one that has the label of "Business Area".

A: I figured out what was happening with this issue.
Prior to submitting the form and receiving the validation error. I was making a change that caused the flag controlling the two components' visibility to be reversed.
rendered="#{shiftDetailsController.canEditBusinessArea}"

In other words, what I was doing on the form was causing the canEditBusinessArea to change values.  But, I was not re-rendering the panel group ("baGroup") to cause the UI to reflect the update.
Thus, when my form was submitted the component during the validation phase was seen as being required...triggering the validation to happen.  As soon as I added "baGroup" to the reRender of the action that was flipping the edit business area flag, the UI began reflecting the update and the submitted form had the value.

Students Pen Open Letter to Governing Authority Over COVID-19 Financial Fallout
Posted On March 26, 2020 March 26, 2020 By Editor
The student group Fix Our Education UCD have submitted an open letter to the university governing authority, calling for a reversal of the more than 12% rent increase on campus, a protection on funding for mental health and disability services, a protection on staff pay rates and a re-evaluation of university spending protocols.
The letter comes after UCD President Andrew Deeks said in his President's Bulletin last week that the potential long-term impacts of COVID-19 for UCD could be "very serious" and have a severe impact on the university's commercial activities.
In a historic first, the 37-member UCD Governing Authority (GA) met on Thursday morning using video conferencing tool Zoom, as governors work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Signed by 19 UCD student societies, the letter says that "we recognise the budgetary constraints that will arise as a result of the shutdown of various university commercial activities." Fears have mounted that student services may suffer as a result of financial loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The letter continues by attacking budgetary cuts on student services following the 2008 financial crash: "Student Health and Counselling services and disability services for students are at a breaking point and cannot take any additional cuts."
A number of demands are outlined in the letter, presenting renewed calls for university action on a number of issues which came to the forefront at student protests earlier this year. The students are calling for: "A deferral of the proposed 12% rent hike in college accommodation until the impact of falling costs and newfound financial constraints which students have been placed under can be accurately assessed," "Protecting the basic level of funding for mental health and disability services on campus," "Protecting the basic pay rates of university staff, an end to zero hour contracts and casualisation of labour," and "A re-evaluation of university spending protocol to tackle excessive spends on elitist infrastructure and wasteful luxuries."
In February, the University Management Team (UMT) made the decision to increase rent on campus by 4% year-on-year for the next three years, further increasing the cost of Ireland's most expensive on-campus student accommodation. This move sparked a number of protests, with students calling on an immediate reversal of the decision.
Speaking to the Tribune, Ruairí Power, Co-Chair of Fix Our Education UCD spoke on how the COVID-19 pandemic has further justified their cause: "It is unlikely that the philosophy of the UMT is going to completely change, this is however an unprecedented circumstance. They have to take into account: students have lost jobs; families have lost incomes. […] There's a major change in the situation from when the decisions were made, so they do need to re-evaluate it. We're simply asking for a deferral of the rent increase until an accurate analysis can be done to base the justifications for it from that point onwards. The rent increases were never justified, but [the COVID-10 pandemic] provides an even stronger justification that students will not be able to afford this."
Ruairí Power, Co-Chair of Fix Our Education UCD
Joanna Siewierska, President of UCD Students' Union, has said "we were delighted to see students raise the issue of funding and rents ahead of GA. We echo the concerns of F.O.E." In a statement to the Tribune, Siewierska continued: "We are not in a position to comment about the business of today's Governing Authority meeting, however we were also preparing to discuss student supports at it. We hope to work further with the President and the University Management Team in the coming weeks to ensure that every step is taken to protect and further invest in student support services on campus, even in light of potential budget cuts. We are also still calling for a stop to the rent increase and will continue the protest campaign online."
The letter was submitted to the GA secretary late on Wednesday night which was weeks after the formal deadline for submissions to the meeting on February 27th. The letter was also emailed to a number of governors, yet many members did not receive the document before the meeting.
It is understood that the President and Deputy President are preparing a response to the letter and its demands.
Fix Our Education UCD advocates for "safe and affordable Mental Health, Disability and Housing services in UCD" as well as criticises a number of capital funding decisions by university management. The group intends to spend time lobbying politicians for government funding of higher education and running online campaigns during the current restrictive measures in place to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 12-member University Management Team (UMT) have also held daily online meetings throughout the current university shutdown.
The Taoiseach Leo Varadkar announced on Tuesday that universities, schools and crèches will remain closed until at least April 19th. Outdoor gatherings have also been limited to a maximum of four people unless individuals belong to the same household. Non-essential businesses are also now closed.
The UCD campus is currently operating under "out-of-office" protocols, resulting in heightened restrictions on staff and student present on campus. The university's libraries are also closed until further notice.
Updates on the COVID-19 university shutdown will continue over the coming weeks…

I am populating the database by pushing about 20.000 random test datasets like the following to post.jar:

    </doc>
</add>

However when retreiving data I seem to have problems with alphabetical sorting. Consider the folowing query:
{
    "responseHeader": {
        "status": 0,
            "QTime": 5,
            "params": {
            "sort": "surname_s asc",
                "fl": "surname_s",
                "indent": "true",
                "wt": "json",
                "q": "city_s:berlin"
        }
    },
        "response": {
        "numFound": 1094,
        "start": 0,
        "docs": [{
            "surname_s": "Weil"
        }, {
            "surname_s": "Abel"
        }, {
            "surname_s": "Adam"
        }, {
            "surname_s": "Ade"
        }, {
            "surname_s": "Adrian"
        }, {
            "surname_s": "Aigner"
        }, {
            "surname_s": "Aigner"
        }, {
            "surname_s": "Alber"
        }, {
            "surname_s": "Alber"
        }, {
            "surname_s": "Albers"
        }]
    }
}

Why is "Weil" on position one, while the rest of the data appears to be sorted correctly?

A: Sorting doesn't work well on multivalued and tokenized fields.
Documentation -
Sorting can be done on the "score" of the document, or on any multiValued="false" indexed="true" field provided that field is either non-tokenized (ie: has no Analyzer) or uses an Analyzer that only produces a single Term (ie: uses the KeywordTokenizer)
Use string as the field type and copy the title field into the new field.
<field name="surname_s_sort" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false"/>

<copyField source="surname_s" dest="surname_s_sort" />

As @Paige answered you can have keyword tokenizer, lower case filters which do not tokenize the field.

A: I believe that some of the additional analyzers that are being applied in the text_de field type are the cause for this sorting behavior. In my experience, for the best results when sorting strings is to use the alphaOlySort fieldType that comes with the example schema.xml shown below.
<fieldType name="alphaOnlySort" class="solr.TextField" sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true">
  <analyzer>
    <!-- KeywordTokenizer does no actual tokenizing, so the entire
         input string is preserved as a single token
      -->
    <tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/>
    <!-- The LowerCase TokenFilter does what you expect, which can be
         when you want your sorting to be case insensitive
      -->
    <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" />
    <!-- The TrimFilter removes any leading or trailing whitespace -->
    <filter class="solr.TrimFilterFactory" />
    <!-- The PatternReplaceFilter gives you the flexibility to use
         Java Regular expression to replace any sequence of characters
         matching a pattern with an arbitrary replacement string,
         which may include back references to portions of the original
         string matched by the pattern.

         See the Java Regular Expression documentation for more
         information on pattern and replacement string syntax.

         http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.6.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/package-summary.html
      -->
    <filter class="solr.PatternReplaceFilterFactory"
            pattern="([^a-z])" replacement="" replace="all"
    />
  </analyzer>
</fieldType>

I would recommend creating a new field and then copying the value from surname_s via copyField, something like the following:
 <field name="surname_s_sort" type="alphaOnlySort" indexed="true" stored="false" required="false" multiValued="false" />

 <copyField source="surname_s" dest="surname_s_sort"/>

Note: there is not any need to store the value in the surname_s_sort field, hence the stored="false" attribute, unless you expect to display that to the users.
Then you can just change your query to sort on the surname_s_sort instead.

A: I had similiar issues and I tried the alphaOnlySort. This work for some part, but it starts messing up the sort results when the field contains values like -,/ spaces etc.
So the result was something like

*

*/ abc

*aa

*/ abc2

So I ended up using the field type lowercase. It was already there so I figured that its a default type. I did use the copy field construction, so my final config was:
<schema>
    <fieldType name="lowercase" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100">
      <analyzer>
        <tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/>
        <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" />
      </analyzer>
    </fieldType>
    <fields>
       <field name="job_name_sort" type="lowercase" indexed="true" stored="false" required="false"/>
    </fields>
    <copyField source="job_name" dest="job_name_sort"/>
</schema>

Senator Casey's bill to fight 'superbugs' can help save lives
Cornelius J. Clancy
One of humanity's biggest threats is invisible to the naked eye. Drug-resistant microbes, including many common bacteria and yeasts, kill as many as 160,000 Americans each year — quadruple the number killed in car crashes. And the death toll may soon rise exponentially, because these "superbugs" are evolving faster than drug companies are developing new treatments.
Soon, drug-resistant microbial infections could kill more people than cancer. By 2050, the global body count is projected to surpass 10 million people a year.
Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey has just introduced a bipartisan bill that could help save many patients. The DISARM Act would encourage companies to develop antibiotics and expand access to the superbug treatments patients need. The legislation won't solve the entire problem, but it's an encouraging first step.
