Q: NFS Mount Permissions on External Drive I use Vagrant to manage Virtualbox instances and up until a few OS versions ago was able to sync drives from an external drive. (On 12.3.1 now.)
Other vagrant users are also struggling with this, and I'm seeing posts going back to 2013 that address NFS on OS X, some of which mention the /etc/fstab (File System Tab), which apparently doesn't exist by default doesn't seem to have a lot of Apple-specific documentation. Here's a (Linux) reference on How-To-Geek.
NOTE: I have added NFSD (and iTerm) to Full Disc Access in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
An example of an OS X/macOS ftab file on github states:
# You can find the volume UUID in Disk Utility. Select the volume on the left
# and then File->Get Info. See "Universal Unique Identifier".
#
# Options used below:
#  ro for readonly (can be omitted)
#  noauto to prevent auto-mount
#  noatime to skip writing last access times (performance thing, optional)
#
# Remember to set the filesystem type (hfs, ntfs, etc) too

There's also a comment mentioning a utility, vifs, specifically for editing the ftab file ($ sudo vifs). In my case this results in a warning:

Warning - this file should only be modified with vifs(8)

(What does the (8) mean?)
Between Disk Utility (for reference) and this terminal command: diskutil info -all |grep -e "Device Node" -e "Proto" -e "UUID" -e "Mount Point" -e "Type", I have:
Device Node:               /dev/disk3s1
Volume Name:               Oggun
Mount Point:               /Volumes/Oggun
Type (Bundle):             hfs
Protocol:                  USB
Volume UUID:               C9AEED83-EB14-3C9F-97D5-D95A0252F9EF

Guessing that I need to add a line along the lines of:
# DRIVE with DIRECTORY to MOUNT via NFS
UUID=0C9AEED83-EB14-3C9F-97D5-D95A0252F9EF  /Volumes/Oggun  hfs rw,auto

I think the third column, contains the "type" of drive.
Hoping someone more informed than me will be inspired to share with some real insight.

A: Found a solution to my problem. It doesn't involve /etc/fstab and not really "permissions" either, but will share for posterity:
The sources are Roots.io, discourse and a corresponding github issue.
In my etc/exports file:
"/System/Volumes/Data/Volumes/External_Storage" -alldirs -mapall=502:20 192.168.50.52
"/System/Volumes/Data/Volumes/Storage" -alldirs -mapall=502:20 192.168.50.39
"/System/Volumes/Data/Volumes/Storage" -alldirs -mapall=502:20 192.168.50.85

... vagrant blocks can be removed

Where 192.168.50.xx are the IP addresses set in various vagrant instances.
Then in the Vagrant file, wherever you are setting synced_folders, you set  vagrant's nfs_export flag to false, which can be done by within a vagrant.default.yml by adding vagrant_nfs_export: false and then within Vagrantfile where there are synced_folder settings, add:
nfs_export: vconfig.fetch('vagrant_nfs_export', false)

Then restart the nfs deamon: sudo nfsd restart.

Reopening research labs a long process
Timelines, capacity sure to change
Lillian Eden
Boston University Statehouse Program
When Gov. Charlie Baker announced a stay-at-home order in March, and some researchers pivoted their work to COVID-19, many other research laboratories across the state went into a form of hibernation, saving and storing what they could in a very short time frame.
"The ramping down was fast. I think most of us had our labs shut down within a few days of being told we had to do it," said Andrew Taylor, associate dean of research at Boston University School of Medicine, explaining that even before the stay-at-home order was announced, BU had already asked faculty to consider what projects were essential to continue and why.
"Most faculty filled out the form saying they were going to move to maintenance," he said. "The maintenance meant having somebody maybe coming in once or twice a week to check on incubators and liquid nitrogen tanks … but nothing new was allowed. No new projects. Everything was to be run down and cleared up."
Labs even collaborated, he said, so the duty to go in and check on things and make sure no alarms were going off wasn't left to just one person.
If certain criteria were met, such as long-term experiments or samples that couldn't be stored, people would be allowed to continue their research, to a certain extent.
"And that's all volunteer, so if they felt uncomfortable about doing it, then obviously the project would have to be put aside until we could all get back," Taylor said.
Mary Ellen Lane, dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, said that around March 12, the target date to shut down research was set at March 20, with a goal of cutting down the work force to about 10% by then.
Only a handful of graduate students met strict criteria to qualify for lab access, based on what they were doing at the time.
"The clear guideline is, this is not about making research progress. This is not about moving experiments forward. This is about minimal functioning, keeping stuff alive," she said. "There was a lot of thoughtful work that went into how do I get things done and put my stuff away so that it can be there when I come back, whenever that is. So that was a lot of, actually, analytical work on the part of our students."
Very few students had requested laboratory access, she said, indicating how seriously everyone was taking the stay-at-home order and how thorough the shutdown process had been.
"In order for that to have happened, there needed to have been a lot of forethought upfront on a very short timeline, and a community mindset and understanding the important purpose of these guidelines," she said.
For graduate students in particular, this spring already looks very different than in previous years, especially for those at the beginning and at the end of their graduate research.
"I've already watched a Zoom thesis defense," said Taylor. "Usually they do a big seminar."
Students in their first year are experiencing disruptions during a critical period, rotations, which are part of the first year of graduate school, when students can visit labs and do experiments in those labs for a few months, before deciding where and with whom they will pursue their thesis.
"Our first-year students are in classes and rotation, and so the classes have been a real saving grace, since most of these first years are not in labs yet, and their rotations got interrupted at really a critical time for them, at a time when they are making those decisions," she said.
She explained that for those that weren't able to decide before the closure, their deadline is being extended.
"Our goal is to have people be able to choose the right thesis lab for themselves. And we accept that that's just going to take a little extra time," she said.
In the meantime, students have been busy at home. Over Zoom, a faculty member is teaching an informal course in data analysis methodology open to all students, and writing groups and labs are continuing to meet and do work.
"This is sort of anecdotal, but a colleague of mine was telling me that he used to have these meetings for like, 15, 20 minutes with the students," she said, "And these are now turning into hour-or-more conversations that start with the ideas and the science and then really just become a great way to connect with people."
Although lack of lab access may be difficult for some students since that is where most of their work happens, she said the message to them is that work outside the lab is just as important for progress.
"Just because you're not in the lab doing experiments, doesn't mean you're not working, doesn't mean science isn't getting done, doesn't mean you're not making progress on your dissertation," Lane said, adding that many have been getting a head start on outlining and deep reading for their dissertation. "My sense is that there's an awful lot of work that's been going on during these five or six weeks."
Taylor said he hasn't been sitting idle at home.
"We had a lot of data to finish analyzing. I just finished writing a paper," Taylor said. "I think part of the anxiety of us wanting to get back is that, one, what do we do when we finally run out of all the data we've already accumulated?"
Taylor explained it's not necessarily access to reagents or access to the lab that will determine when scientists can return. If there isn't enough personal protective equipment for people to work safely, then they can't return.
Taylor said he's talked to deans at other medical schools.
"We're all in agreement that the ramping up is going to be slow," he said. "I can see it take months, because we're going to start up slowly. We can't have everyone show up at once."
The current hope at BU is that labs would be able to open up to 30 percent capacity at first, and then open up further from there, with much work continuing to be done remotely.
"The things that we rely on, like core facilities, administrative assistants, things like that, are not on campus," he said. "Our viewpoint is that they probably will not come back onto the campus until it's really clear that it's safe for everybody to come back."
Taylor predicted that restarting research, at whatever capacity, will involve a lot of assessment, review of stock, and recalibrating machines.
"We're not going to be able to do everything. If you've only got a third of your work force in the lab, you can't do everything that you planned," he said. "I can see the first few weeks or so of labs opening mainly assessing what they have."
For labs restarting, working with fewer people than usual is going to be a unique challenge.
"It actually adds very important questions for us to think about: What projects can we do while keeping physical distances?" he said. "And at the same time, we have at the back of our mind, what happens if we have to shut it all back down again, if there's a second wave?"
Lane, too, is having to consider flexibility and what reopening would mean in uncertain circumstances.
"We're planning to have our fall class be prepared to go entirely remote if that's necessary. I expect that it's going to necessary at least part of the time, and that we have to have the agility to move between the campus setting and the remote setting," she said.
Many BU labs have graduate students too and that may change the way those approach reopening, depending where they are in the process, Taylor explained. Reopening may look very different between labs, depending on what they were working on and how many people they have.
"We may have to prioritize some of our research activities to make sure that they can graduate on time," he said.
Lane also thinks that timelines are going to look different for different lines of research.
"Even our best efforts to preserve things aren't always going to be perfect. And there's going to be some losses, and I think that people had to make hard decisions as well when there wasn't a lot of time …
People probably had to make hard decisions about what they could scrap and pick up later, and what things they really were going to try to keep going. Depending on the level of loss, the size of the group, ramping back up could take months," said Lane.
Another concern is how new students are going to be integrated in to the community in the fall, without the usual introductory activities such as orientation, meet-and-greets and poster sessions.
"We're going to be welcoming a these new students under very unusual circumstances. And we are thinking about the challenges that are going to be involved with that," she said. "How do you plan for that when there's so much uncertainty, and how do you help people feel part of your community under those kinds of social distancing circumstances?"
Lane said that a lot has gone better than she was expecting during this process, but there's also been a lot of understandable difficulty with the situation.
"We expected there to a lot of bad feelings, a lot of frustration with the length of time, the dealing with the loss, so we've been managing those things pretty well, and they were not unexpected," said Lane.
Either way, the changes in the way research is being done – from home – is unprecedented for everyone.
"Ramping down was fast, but ramping up is going to be a slow process," added Taylor. "And people are going to have to be patient."

Parties closely watch 21st Legislative District race
Jim Haley / Herald Writer
Monday, September 10, 2001 9:00pm
By Jim Haley
Herald Writer
While Brian Sullivan and D.J. Wilson continue to duke it out for the right to become their party's standard bearer in November, the eyes of the state are on them and the winner's almost certain opponent in the general election, state Rep. Joe Marine, R-Mukilteo.
And with the attention comes the money, which some observers say could flow in record amounts.
At stake is a single job in southwest Snohomish County, the 21st Legislative District. Up for grabs is a House seat representing Mukilteo, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Woodway and a small part of Mountlake Terrace.
If either of the two Democrats succeeds in ousting appointed incumbent Marine, the election of a Democrat will probably tip the balance in a stagnant House of Representatives that for the past three years has been locked in a 49-49 tie. The governor's chair and the Senate are already ruled by Democrats.
Because it's an off-election year, only one other state House race is on the Nov. 6 ballot — the neighboring 38th Legislative District, where there was another vacancy.
"It's going to be a huge race, and we're going to pull out all the stops," state Democratic Party Chairman Paul Berendt said. "You've already seen the level of donations they've been given in this race."
Even in the primary race, the two Democrats have raised a combined total of more than $125,000. Republican Party sources have bankrolled Marine handily, and he's raised more than $100,000 altogether, even though he doesn't have a primary opponent.
Also in the race are Libertarian Michael Enquist of Edmonds and Green Party candidate Young S. Han of Lynnwood. Both minor party candidates need to get 1 percent of the total 21st District vote in order to stay in the race beyond September.
The Democrats say it's essential that a member of their party win this race to break the Olympia logjam and get legislation to the floor where votes can be taken.
Republicans, on the other hand, blame the Democrats, including Gov. Gary Locke, for legislative stagnation. That includes the 2001 session's failure to deliver a major transportation package.
"Joe Marine worked on transportation. He tried to break the transportation gridlock He couldn't do it, but he tried," state Republican chairman Chris Vance said.
Marine, former GOP chairman for the 21st District, was appointed in December to replace Renee Radcliff, who suddenly quit for personal reasons after winning election. Marine's appointment required an off-year election to continue filling the remainder of Radcliff's term.
The Democrats seized the moment, sensing a chance to take the seat, and put up two strong candidates.
Voters will have a clear choice of age and experience between Sullivan and Wilson.
Sullivan, 43, former Mukilteo council member and mayor, has been active in politics for years. He also has the support of many local Democratic leaders, labor and firefighters.
Wilson, 26, of Edmonds, is a fresh face who has firm support from two other parts of the traditional Democratic coalition — vocal environmentalists and a state abortion-rights group.
Nonetheless, Sullivan said his record shows he's not soft on the environment or abortion.
As of late last week, Wilson was ahead in the campaign-chest war, pulling in more than $70,000 to Sullivan's $50,000 or so. But Sullivan points out that the bulk of his primary opponent's funds come from outside Snohomish County.
"I think that says something about who's running in this race," Sullivan said.
The former Mukilteo mayor said he was only 40 years old when he left his job there.
"I just feel I'm not finished yet," he said. "I want to take this wealth of knowledge and my ability to think outside the box in solving problems to Olympia."
Wilson has worked on several campaigns, but this is his first attempt to obtain public office himself. He said the transportation mess is on everyone's minds, but he's personally driven into politics by a need for education reform in public schools.
But no matter what the issue he's chewing on at the time, he said he will be true to his campaign slogan, which implies that nobody would work harder for his constituents.
"That's the type of attitude you need in Olympia," Wilson said. "My No. 1 goal is to really be a voice for this district."
At the state level, Berendt said the state party is trying to stay neutral in the primary and is ready to support either of the Democrats. A win, he said would give the party momentum going into a big state election year in 2002.

Quite often we come across references questioning whether M2M / IoT is a new technology, an IT service, or part of the telecom domain? The moot question is how can a smart city, a connected car or a garbage management service be classified as any of the above? IoT services have evolved through the integration of multiple individual services viz, Telecom, IT, Cloud computing, etc. to create a homogeneous solution. The problem that arises with any kind of a templated classification of a service is two-fold – first, the trend gets copied into the regulatory domain and second, the existing regulations of standalone services start getting imposed on the new innovative service(s). If anything, IoT services are a solution that can at best be classified as Software as a Service (SaaS). It leverages the underlying telecom service only for connectivity. Beyond that for making the city smart, or providing smart Insurance services, there is a dire necessity of interoperability of the SaaS services to enable sharing and acting on the intelligent inputs amongst the services.
With the emergence of cyber space based disruptive services, India is already on the path to digital transformation. Today, digital services especially IoT services, have become an indispensable part of an enterprise's digital transformation into a 24 x 7 connected world. In the early part of 2018, TRAI in its recommendation mentioned that Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) services would bolster the growth of Industry 4.0. To enable this, TRAI previously spoke for the development of 5G services, IoT/ M2M systems, and their security framework.
As we know, post the introduction of The Indian Telegraph Act in 1885, control over the telegraphy came into action and its infrastructure across the subcontinent was developed. This is because the concerned authorities realized the importance and dominance of telegraph on the populace. The act stood the test of the time till the early 1990's, however, with the emergence of networks, the regulatory environment had to be tweaked to ensure the proliferation of telecom services. The regulatory regime that was put in place viz, the formation of TRAI and adoption of other liberal policies ensured that the services became easily accessible at affordable prices to all the citizens of India and catalyzed the path for breaching of the 1 billion subscribers mark.
Leveraging the past 2 decades experience, the latest revision of the erstwhile NTP (National Telecom Policy) has been rechristened as the NDCP (National Digital Communications Policy). This will enable it to cater to the new age communication services requirements that are provisioned over the network instead of being native to the network. The forward looking NDCP aspires to achieve an ambitious target of 5 billion connected devices by 2022. The prolific proliferation of telecom services bears testimony to the potential that an enabling policy regime can achieve. A similar approach is required to be adopted if this target of 5 billion connected devices is to be realized in a short span of the next 5 years. The need is to have a de-novo appreciation of the regulatory requirements for IoT services instead of viewing them through the prism of regulations of telecom services alone or the IT Act / Rules. The nuances of provisioning IoT services are different and hence, the existing regulations, guidelines, acts and rules can be used as a reference. They should be tweaked suitably to balance the requirements of government, users and innovators.
In a fast-paced, innovation driven landscape that builds services using big data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), et al, it is difficult to predict, today itself, the kind of services that that would emerge in the future. Therefore, for achieving the 5 billion connected devices mark, it is imperative that the pace of policy formulation matches the pace at which innovative solutions are being churned out by the young innovators.
Given that these innovators are oblivious to any regulations, they get the cognitive freedom for creating smart solutions that ease human living. It is imperative that any regulatory regime that is put in place for IoT services firstly, continues to provide a similar environment in which these innovators are working; secondly, the regulatory regime is able to match the pace of innovation and if possible be ahead of the innovation curve and thirdly, and most importantly, be more collaborative instead of being prescriptive.

Q: Powershell way of doing redircmp and redirusr I've used redircmp and redirusr for as long as I can remember to change the location for new user and computer accounts in a domain. It has worked flawlessly time and time again. However, I am doing more of my work now in PowerShell than ever before and although I can/could still run these commands via PowerShell... I have this itch I want to scratch to do it a different way... "The PowerShell Way"... if such a way exists. Initially I thought I could use Set-ADDomain, but I kept hitting a roadblock and was wondering if anyone had any insight on how to do this better, if there even is one...
$ADDomain = Get-ADDomain
$NewComputersOU = Get-ADGroup <target OU>
Set-ADDomain -Identity $ADDomain.ObjectGUID -Replace @{"ComputersContainer"="$($NewComputersOU.DistinguishedName)"}

And the error:
Set-ADDomain : The specified directory service attribute or value does not exist

I tried a ton of different ways to create the hash for the replace command without any difference and there weren't too many examples of using "Set-ADDomain" with the "-Replace @{" method. And, none of them ever show changing the "ComputersContainer" or the "UsersContainer" values.
Eventually I ran the "Get-Member" against the domain object which shows that both the ComputersContainer and UsersContainer only support "get" but not "set" functions. So, I feel like my initial approach looking for a simple solution is a dead end.
I ran across this post in searching for a viable answer, but it seems less than elegant...
https://www.open-a-socket.com/2015/02/20/redirecting-users-and-computers-containers-with-powershell/
I'm curious if there's another way that I'm missing that's more in tune with PowerShell commands that isn't so clunky. Many thanks in advance.

A: OK... so... "Well Known Objects" are... well known! :)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-adts/5a00c890-6be5-4575-93c4-8bf8be0ca8d8
The GUID for new computers will always be: "AA312825768811D1ADED00C04FD8D5CD"
and the new user GUID will always be: "A9D1CA15768811D1ADED00C04FD8D5CD"
That said, the post I previously linked to: searched for, disassembled, and then reassembled the well known object. And, in doing so was a few more steps than was needed IMHO. So, the solution I went with was ever so slightly fewer steps and in a condensed version basically goes like this...
$ADDomain = Get-ADDomain
$NewComputersOU = "DistinguishedName for your OU/Container of Choice"
$WellKnownComputerObject = "B:32:AA312825768811D1ADED00C04FD8D5CD:"
Set-ADObject -Identity $ADDomain -Add @{wellKnownObjects = $($WellKnownComputerObject + $NewComputersOU)} `
                -Remove @{wellKnownObjects = $($WellKnownComputerObject + $ADDomain.ComputersContainer)}

That's not the complete code... but you get the idea. It's not as elegant as I was hoping for... but it gets the job done without calling redircmp. Not that there's anything particularly evil or wrong with calling it. I was just rather hoping that there was an elegant way of doing the task entirely via PowerShell. Oh well. On to the next project! :D

Since the announcement of Stryper's tour this year, the fan base has been ecstatic to hear the 1986 Grammy Award nominated album "To Hell With the Devil" to be played in it's entirety. On the same token , the band has also stated after these shows they will take a hiatus. Since this announcement the shows have been one of the go-to events of 2016. As of this writing the tour has wrapped up its final dates for the year but not before the crew here at Photo from the Pit were able to be part of this important piece of Stryper history.
New York City's Gramercy Theater was filled with excitement as people of all ages filled the venue. A video montage along with a narration of Michael Sweet voice showed the audience about a time when things meant making solid music at the same time the importance of being professional. Looking like a rock star was only part of it. The montage showed snippets of songs such as "Free", "Honestly" and "Calling You". This was a perfect way to show our millennial generation in attendance to have a insight of what work and determination can do when people are unified for a common goal.
Stryper stormed the stage with their traditional 'Yellow and Black Attack' outfits. As they tore into a set list for the ages, the song To Hell with the Devil never sounded so clear. Hearing the album live in its entirety was a truly exciting moment. Songs like All of Me, and the rarely played Rockin the World left the audience with goosebumps. Not many singers can still maintain a tip-top voice like Michael Sweet. His name has been wrongly been omitted from conversation when it comes to singers of this era. During the middle of the set, Evanescence drummer Will Hunt accompanied Michael Sweet of a rendition of Black Sabbath's "Heaven and Hell". Band members Oz Fox traded licks with Sweet as bassist Tim Gaines kept a tight tone. This cover version of a Sabbath classic showed out versatile the band is.
As the night came to a close the final song which was voted by the audience through the band's social media page was a crowd-pleaser. The band played the athemic song Makes Me Wanna Sing from 1985's "Solders Under Command". The band took their bows at the end of the night, as they did their tradition of passing pocket Bibles into the audience. No one knows how long we will wait to see Stryper perform again. Since 1983, the band has did something not many has done and that is maintaining the original lineup since it's inception. In our current musical one would have to say, maybe it is divine intervention that made this happen. Thank you for the music.
Sebastian's Corner : A little known fact. Stryper's album "To Hell with the Devil" was nominated in 1986. Technically making it the first Heavy Metal album to be nominated before the Heavy Metal Category was introduced in 1991.


Greetings on the feast day of Saint Barlaam and Saint Josaphat.
The spooky thing about this is I only this morning read a book review which referenced these two saints, popped online to read more about them, and found that today is their feast day (at least in the Greek Orthodox Church).
The story of Barlaam and Josaphat is syncreticism at its wackiest best: the Buddha adopted as a Christian saint via an Islamic tradition.


"In spite of our heartbreak over Mali's decision, we can recognise the small victory that is Mali's choice in this, her completion of exams at 16 and her knowledge of women's rights. It is a reminder that small successes must be acknowledged and of how precarious working with girls is." Azey Bennetts writes about the importance of small victories when working with girls on the streets of India.
"You can have ambition." Karunalaya wants parents to value their daughters, rather than be burdened by them.
The work that Amos is doing with Karunalaya to end child marriage gives girls ambition.
Karunalaya is working with children and young people through their sports, dance and advocacy programmes so that they can become the agents that change child marriage and other issues that limit children's rights.
In the pavement-dwelling communities that Amos partner Karunalaya works in, child marriage from as young as 12 is the norm, with over 50% of girls married before the legal age of 18.
Three generations of pavement dwellers – Chennai, India.
Karunalaya seeks to challenge the views held by girls and mothers from pavement-dwelling communities, to create opportunities where they can realise their self-worth.
Extreme poverty and lack of aspiration mean most children drop out of school to work as child labourers, beg or look after younger siblings and parents will marry their daughters off in exchange for money. "We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, 'you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man.'" (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie).
Extreme poverty and lack of aspiration mean most children drop out of school to work as child labourers, beg or look after younger siblings and parents will marry their daughters off in exchange for money.
Mali had been involved in Karunalaya's programmes for a number of years. I met her in the summer of 2017, she was excited she had passed her exams at 16 making her the first in her family to get a certificate. She had spoken about women's rights as part of Karunalaya's advocacy events.
Karunalaya educates parents about children's rights.
They are working with children and young people through their sports, dance and advocacy programmes so that they can become the agents that change child marriage and other issues that limit children's rights.
However, in spite of the interventions, her family (with Mali's permission), arranged her marriage at 17. This came as a blow to the project workers who had spent years working with Mali, her family and her community — her application to college never fulfilled. College represented an unknown future and posed the old question — what opportunities are available to a lower caste, pavement-dwelling young woman anyway?
In spite of our heartbreak over Mali's decision, we can recognise the small victory that is Mali's choice in this, her completion of exams at 16 and her knowledge of women's rights. It is a reminder that small successes must be acknowledged and of how precarious working with girls is.
College represented an unknown future and posed the old question — what opportunities are available to a lower caste, pavement-dwelling young woman anyway?
Karunalaya educates parents about children's rights and to believe in their futures through education. They are working with children and young people through their sports, dance and advocacy programmes so that they can become the agents that change child marriage and other issues that limit children's rights.
Sangeetha has become a role model to other girls at Karunalaya and in her community. Her football scholarship to college marks a major achievement and having captained the Indian girls' team at the recent Street Child World Cup in Moscow, she wants to see Karunalaya develop a football league for children in slums, pavement communities and at Karunalaya's centre.
To realise this, she wants to undertake a formal football coaching qualification. We are proud that young people, like Sangeetha, are involved in shaping programmes with us to create change. This gives me hope in the work Amos is doing with Karunalaya to end child marriage and in emphasising the message that girls can have ambition.

Scots Syntax Atlas.
December 26, 2019 by languagehat 22 Comments
Stan at Sentence first posts about the Scots Syntax Atlas (SCOSYA), "a fantastic, newly launched website that will appeal to anyone interested in language and dialect, especially regional varieties and their idiosyncratic grammar."
Its home page says:
Would you say I like they trainers? What about She's no caring? Have you ever heard anyone say I div like a good story? And might you say You're after locking us out? All of these utterances come from dialects of Scots spoken across Scotland, but where exactly can you hear them?
To answer this question, we travelled the length and breadth of Scotland, visiting 145 communities, from Shetland in the north to Stranraer in the south. We were particularly interested in the different ways that sentences are built up in these different areas. This part of a language is called its syntax, and it's one of the most creative aspects of how people use language.
The resulting interactive Atlas has four main sections: How do people speak in…?, Stories behind the examples, Who says what where?, and Community voices. The two questions are self-explanatory. Community voices is a collection of extracts (audio and transcripts) from the conversations recorded – a trove of accent and dialect diversity. […]
The Scots Syntax Atlas was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and created by researchers from the University of Glasgow, University of Edinburgh, and Queen Mary University London. It's fully and freely available and is a joy to explore. Someone please tell me they're working on an Irish English version.
Keep putting the good stuff online, O scholars!
SFReader says
These examples look to me like Scottish dialects of English, not Scots.
maidhc says
I have become curious about the phrase "da trig bag". It is from Shetland. I know that "trig" in Scots means neat or tidy, but what is a trig bag?
Athel Cornish-Bowden says
When I've heard expressions like She's no caring? from Scottish people I've heard it as She's not caring? with a Scottish pronunciation of the t, in other words as a pronunciation difference rather than as a grammatical one.
David Eddyshaw says
I think this is a lexical/grammatical difference, not a matter of pronunciation: there's no general rule of t-dropping in such contexts (though Glaswegians do the glottal-stop thing) and the vowel is /o/ not /ɔ/.
AJP Crown says
Youse, pl of you, they say started in Glasgow; but it's used elsewhere (Australia, Liverpool) and I'm guessing it's Irish.
After her husband George VI died in 1952, and the queen mother was booted out of Buckingham Palace, she was 6 miles from John O'Groats visiting friends when she drove past 'a dear little castle by the sea.' So she bought it, even though it was in a bit of a state at the time. It's called the Castle of Mey and it has a view of Orkney and a lovely walled garden (it must be windy). The decorations are as eccentrically tacky as you'd expect from the queen mother, there's a weird tartan stair-rug and portraits of herself worthy of Woolworth's. Dogs can visit but not stay the night.
languagehat says
Are you thinking of Scottish Gaelic? Scots is closely related to English.
Well, I would expect real Scots to have something like "Ye ar eftir locking us oot", not "You're after locking us out" which is plain English.
Ah. But they're concerned with syntax, not pronunciation, so they have no reason to focus on phonetic spelling.
John Cowan says
Youse, pl of you, they say started in Glasgow; but it's used elsewhere
Philadelphia, especially, and to some degree in NYC traditional dialect (now on the skids). At the other end of Penn's woods in Pittsburgh, it's yinz < you ones territory.
Mostly da trig bag (which is Shaetlan, as the article shows; Shaetlan is as far from mainland Scots as Scots is from English if not more) is the name of a fiddle tune. But a trig is a four-foot concrete erection in the form of a truncated pyramid, from the top of which you can sight the next trig with a theodolite; the formal name is triangulation pillar. The first one was built in 1936 and they blanket the UK. Trig-bagging, then is finding and walking to trigs; they tend to be on high points. I'm reasonably sure these are etymologically independent, but ObHat rulez.
portraits of herself worthy of Woolworth's made me think of this:
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/377113/Truth-about-the-green-lady
Fascinating! But this doesn't make me think well of Tretchikoff:
The painting brought Monika neither fame nor fortune. "I sat for six weeks. For that I got £6.50," she says.
That's shitty payment in the first place, but fine, she agreed to it, whatever. But when the damn thing unexpectedly becomes wildly popular and brings you fame and fortune, slip the gal a little extra, ferchrissake.
"I'm not green!" she told him.
It is interesting (although, in retrospect, not surprising) how Woolworths in the United Kingdom got itself entangled in the British class system. Nobody in America sneers at the kind of people who shop at Foot Locker.
(A joke, of course—not that I mean people really do sneer at people who go to Foot Locker, but shopping at the original Woolworths, the canonical middle-American "five and dime" store, was a genuine cultural signifier, although not nearly to the extent it seems to have become in Britain.)
Jen in Edinburgh says
I don't think I've ever heard anyone particularly sneer at Woolworth's, except maybe the records they used to do where you got the current hit song sung by someone else. It's dull but decent, rather than trashy*.
However, all I know about Walmart is that it's a place where people go to shop with their trousers falling down.
*Appropriately, I have just spend a while hunting for an English equivalent of Scots 'scaffy'!
Appropriately, I have just spend a while hunting for an English equivalent of Scots 'scaffy'!
Which is apparently "Curtailed dim. form of Eng. scavenger, a street-sweeper"!
Quite a lot of the examples quoted can be heard across the north of England. "So it is" likewise in Ireland, as was said. And in some cases, the recorder has misheard because of the speed of the quoted speech, as in "it needs ("to be" is barely audible) rewired anyway".
Also Scots is scaffy boat, but this is apparently unrelated to scaffy cart, just being derived from skiff.
I'd say Foot Locker still has a working-class vibe, but certainly not as much as Woolworth's had. UK Woolworths was separated from U.S. Woolworths in 1983, which allowed them to survive until 2009. AU and NZ Woolworths never had any connection at all with US Woolworths, although the Woolworths in CA, MX, DE, ZA (an operation more like Marks & Spencer with stores in much of Africa), and BB are offshoots of the original.
Woolworths in SA was wholly owned by Marks & Spencer UK so maybe the other overseas Woolies (as we called them) were as well. It sold top quality goods.
Along with Harrods, Woolworth's was too tawdry for my taste, as was the queen-mother. After I left England, in 1976, just as punk was reaching its peak Woolies stopped selling glitter & pink gumballs and thereafter only sold brown corduroy cardboard-soled shoes in men's & women's sizes; grey, scented tea-towels and brown & orange dented boxes of ancient chocs. In 1938, as a hedge against something or other, starvation probably, my grandfather bought utensils like kitchen knives, a lemon squeezer, a potato peeler and a colander at Woolworth's. My 93 year-old mother still uses them, so it can't have been too bad then.
Foot Locker strikes me as an ugly name, but then there's a very successful & stylish Swedish-owned fashion empire called Acne.

And you can support my book habit without even spending money on me by following my Amazon links to do your shopping (if, of course, you like shopping on Amazon); As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases (I get a small percentage of every dollar spent while someone is following my referral links), and every month I get a gift certificate that allows me to buy a few books (or, if someone has bought a big-ticket item, even more). You will not only get your purchases, you will get my blessings and a karmic boost!
If your comment goes into moderation (which can happen if it has too many links or if the software just takes it into its head to be suspicious), I will usually set it free reasonably quickly… unless it happens during the night, say between 10 PM and 8 AM Eastern Time (US), in which case you'll have to wait. And occasionally the software will decide a comment is spam and it won't even go into moderation; if a comment disappears on you, send me an e-mail and I'll try to rescue it. You have my apologies in advance. Also, my posts should be taken as conversation-starters; there is no expectation of "staying on topic,"and some of the best threads have gone in entirely unexpected directions. I have strong opinions and sometimes express myself more sharply than an ideal interlocutor might, but I try to avoid personal attacks, and I hope you will do the same.

Favorite rave review, by Teju Cole:
"Evidence that the internet is not as idiotic as it often looks. This site is called Language Hat and it deals with many issues of a linguistic flavor. It's a beacon of attentiveness and crisp thinking, and an excellent substitute for the daily news."
From "commonbeauty"

Heading west? You won't get far on Highway 60 by the end of August, especially on weekends
Colin Atagi
Give it a few weeks, but Highway 60 is going to be the worst freeway in the Inland Empire for commuters and travelers if you're heading west.
Construction began weeks ago on truck lanes in the "Badlands" between Moreno Valley and Beaumont, and its caused overnight lane closures. But by the end of the month, things will get worse when one of the westbound lanes is completely shut down to make space for workers.
Officials have been targeting late-August for the closure, but a specific start date could be identified as early as this week, said Cheryl Donahue, spokeswoman for the Riverside County Transportation Commission.
The closure will last 24 hours a day for six months and westbound traffic will be reduced to one lane for nearly five miles between Gilman Springs Road and Jack Rabbit Trail.
Traffic conditions shouldn't be abnormal through Moreno Valley, but problems will resurface in Riverside.
Slow down:CHP is watching for speeders through the Highway 60 "Badlands"
Safe crossings:Cathedral City adds upgraded crossing signals to Dinah Shore Drive
By now, you've heard of the "Swarm." That's the name traffic officials are using for the resurfacing project that'll last 15 weeks on Highway 60 from Riverside to Ontario.
Full weekend closures have been happening in the eastbound lanes, but that'll change toward the end of September when construction shifts to the westbound lanes.
By late September, weekend westbound travelers will deal with delays through the "Badlands" and find decent conditions through Moreno Valley before having to get onto Highway 91 or Interstate 215 in Riverside due to the "Swarm."
Unless you're willing to endure delays through the "Badlands," you'll want to stick to Interstate 10 when leaving the Coachella Valley.
Just don't be surprised if you're not alone and everyone else has the same idea, resulting in bumper-to-bumper traffic on I-10.
Sandwiched between Indian Canyon projects
There are a bunch of orange cones and lane closures on the north and south side of Indian Canyon Drive in Palm Springs.
Work began this month on a Southern California Gas Co. project between Vista Chino and Mel Avenue, to install a gas main.
Work is scheduled for 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, according to the city of Palm Springs.
Miles from crash:Palm Springs hit-and-run suspect arrested mile from where pedestrians hit
Signal going in: Intersection near Thermal, Mecca getting traffic signal
Meanwhile, about 2 miles away, the Indian Canyon conversion project is underway and lane closures have been prevalent near Ramon Road.
Indian Canyon is being converted into a two-way road between Camino Parocela and Alejo Road and lane closures are expected through the project site for several months.
Delays haven't been bad, but anyone determined to save time may want to find alternate routes.
Gas updates
Coachella Valley drivers paid as little as $3.15 per gallon of regular unleaded fuel as of Sunday as the cost of driving continued its slow descent.
The relatively low price was mostly available at gas stations in the east valley, according to gasbuddy.com.
California's average price per gallon as of Thursday was $3.63 — well above the national average of $2.65, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California.
Riverside County's average price as of Thursday was $3.55 and San Bernardino County's average was $3.59.
