The 2011–12 IFA Premiership (known as the Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons) was the fourth season since its establishment after a major overhaul of the league system in Northern Ireland, and the 111th season of Irish league football overall. The season began on 6 August 2011, and ended on 28 April 2012.

Linfield were the defending champions, after winning their 50th title last season. They successfully defended their title, to win the league for the sixth time in seven seasons after a 2–1 home win over Portadown on 7 April 2012.

Carrick Rangers were relegated to Championship 1 after only one season in the top flight. Dungannon Swifts' 2–1 win over Donegal Celtic on 21 April 2012 left them bottom of the table by four points, with only one game remaining. Lisburn Distillery retained their Premiership status by defeating Newry City 3–2 over two legs in the promotion/relegation play-off.

Teams
2010–11 IFA Championship 1 winners Carrick Rangers were promoted to this season's Premiership, with last season's bottom-placed Premiership club Newry City replacing them in Championship 1.

Championship 1 runners-up Limavady United were not eligible to take part in a promotion/relegation play-off against last season's 11th-placed Premiership club Donegal Celtic, as they did not attain the required domestic licence.

UEFA coefficient and ranking
For the 2011–12 UEFA competitions, the associations were allocated places according to their 2010 UEFA country coefficients, which took into account their performance in European competitions from 2005–06 to 2009–10. In the 2010 rankings used for this season's European competitions, Northern Ireland's coefficient points total was 1.624. After earning a score of only 0.125 during the 2009–10 European campaign, the league was ranked by UEFA as the 49th best league in Europe out of 53 - falling two places from 47th the previous season. This season Northern Ireland earned 0.500 points, which was added to the points total for the 2012 rankings used in 2013–14 UEFA competitions.

 47  Montenegro 2.125

UEFA Champions League
After winning the league last season, Linfield were the league's sole representatives in the UEFA Champions League. They entered at the second qualifying round. They were drawn against Belarusian side BATE Borisov, a club that reached the group stage of the 2008–09 competition.

Linfield were massive underdogs for the tie. However they produced a commendable performance in the first leg to earn a 1–1 draw. In the second leg in Belarus, Linfield again put on a brave display but ultimately lost 0–2 to their full-time opponents and exited the competition 1–3 on aggregate.

UEFA Europa League
2010–11's League and Irish Cup runners-up Crusaders, 3rd-placed Glentoran, and 4th-placed Cliftonville all earned a place in the UEFA Europa League. Glentoran and Cliftonville entered the competition at the first qualifying round. Crusaders entered at the second qualifying round.

In the first qualifying round there were mixed results. Glentoran were drawn against Macedonian club FK Renova. They lost the first leg 1–2 away from home, but were 2–1 victors in the return leg at home. With the teams tied 3–3 on aggregate, the tie went to extra time and eventually to a penalty shoot-out. Glentoran won the shoot-out 3–2 to progress to the second qualifying round.

Cliftonville were drawn against Welsh side The New Saints. They earned a creditable 1–1 draw in the first leg away from home. However, they succumbed to a 0–1 defeat in the second leg at home which meant they lost the tie 1–2 on aggregate and exited the competition.

In the second qualifying round Crusaders faced Premier League side Fulham, runners-up of the competition in 2009–10. In the first leg at home, Crusaders produced a battling display, but in the end went down 1–3 to their English opponents. Glentoran were drawn against Vorskla Poltava from Ukraine. They too were defeated in the first leg at home, losing 0–2. In the second legs, both Crusaders and Glentoran crashed out of Europe after being outclassed by their opponents. Crusaders went down 0–4 to Fulham, losing the tie 1–7 on aggregate. Glentoran went down 0–3 to Vorskla Poltava, losing the tie 0–5 on aggregate.

That concluded the IFA Premiership's involvement in Europe this season.

The National Football League has just approved a policy that requires players on the field to stand for the national anthem. Players who do not wish to stand must stay in the locker room until the anthem is finished. Their respective teams will be fined if players do not abide by the new policy.
NFL owners voted 31-0 to ratify the measure. The San Francisco 49ers abstained from the vote.
The San Francisco 49ers became a central player in this debate when their former quarterback, Colin Kaepernick, knelt during the national anthem all throughout the 2016 season to protest police brutality. He sparked subsequent "take a knee" protests throughout the league and nationwide conversations about social injustices.
Craig Melvin of the Today Show reported that players were devising new ways to protest.
What I'm hearing from players: Those who weren't planning demonstrations for next season are now back in the conversation, discussing ways to skirt to new rules "just to spite the NFL."

* A man offers marriage to any woman who has tickets to the finals of the World Cup. His message says: "Responders must enclose photograph of ticket."
* At the World Cup, they use a four letter F word a lot and it's not FIFA!
* When the English team flew home, they arrived to a rapturous welcome at the airport. Thousands of people clapped, cheered and waved flags when the team stepped off the plane.

Good to laugh at these guys! But at least all of them made it to the WC.Today Urugway, a nation with population of 3.4 million people lost out 2-3 to Netherland.We with 110 crore people are unable to produce 25 quality players, who can take us some where.Indian media should now start hammering our foot ball bodies in to some actions- on our football fields.

Berks County commissioners praised for funding…
Berks County commissioners praised for funding of recovery services
The accolades for the multimillion dollar funding comes in National Recovery month
Reading Eagle: Bill Uhrich
Council on Chemical Abuse
By Karen Shuey | kshuey@readingeagle.com | Reading Eagle
PUBLISHED: September 23, 2021 at 4:38 p.m. | UPDATED: September 23, 2021 at 4:39 p.m.
Those recovering from substance abuse in Berks County and those working to help them always appreciate the support of the county commissioners.
Each September, timed to coincide with National Recovery month, a group visits a commissioners meeting to share stories that underscore that each person battling addiction is unique and to stress the impact that county-supported services has played in their recovery.
But following more than 18 months struggling through a global pandemic, an often isolating time that only exacerbated the issues that lead to addiction and threaten to derail recovery, that is particularly true now.
Representatives from Berks County Council on Chemical Abuse attended the commissioners meeting on Thursday to thank them for the financial support that has played a significant role in helping the more than 30,000 county residents who are in recovery.
And, just like the years before, they expressed gratitude.
"Thank you so much for all you do to ensure that substance abuse services are provided through the county — whether that be prevention, intervention, treatment or recovery," said Stanley Papademetriou, COCA's executive director. "Berks County has a very rich continuation of care here due to a long history of county commissioners who have been supportive of that. Not merely supportive in terms of dollars, but in terms of advocacy and encouragement."
Papademetriou said he's proud of the way the county supports those who are struggling with addiction.
Yvonne Stroman, a longtime member of the recovery community who now serves as the community programs specialist for COCA, said she feels the same way. She applauded the commissioners for the active role they've taken.
"Our county commissioners show up," she said, noting that they often take the time to meet with individuals benefitting from treatment services at events held to celebrate recovery. "I just want to thank you for being there."
Stroman said she is appreciative of the time, effort and decisions the commissioners make to ensure that people have the right resources to help them when they choose to embark on the journey to recovery.
The county gave COCA about $6.3 million to fund programs in 2021. And in the opinion of Stroman that money is spent on a worthy investment.
"This is a life-and-death business that we are in when we're talking about addiction," she said. "This is a disease that knows no boundaries. It impacts people of all races, of all socioeconomic backgrounds, of all academic levels. And any one of us can fall prey to this insidious disease."

Sen. Casey, Rep. Dean urge ATF to give update on Pottstown blast probe


Last weekend was a double car show, firstly there was an all weekend event at the Ipswich Festival of Wheels, and the other was at Helmingham Hall on the Sunday. Saturday was no problem as I would be at the Festival of Wheels and the Sunday could be FoW again or Helmingham. So I was going to choose at the end of the day. The Bury Retro Car Club had a stand for both days at the FoW, well it was more like a marked out bit of land to be exact. I was unsure of the exact time it started so I decided to get there earlier rather than later. I rocked up to the main gates at about eight thirty in the morning and it was pretty quiet.
I was directed to the area and parked up.
A little while later I was joined by some more of the club members and I felt relieved that I was not the only one. The guys were camping there over the weekend and nice atmosphere throughout the, I even managed to sit by the side of the camper van with a pretty awesome awning to stay out of the sun.
We were in the allotted area next to a Mustang club as well, which was quite nice, although it wasn't filled to capacity either.
This was the first show of this type and it was obviously aimed more at the family rather than the out-and-out enthusiasts from what I could see. There was plenty for the younger ones and the event was nowhere full. Perhaps everybody was waiting for the Sunday as seems to be case for these all weekend shows. By about ten in the morning the place was as busy as it was going to get so I set of for some pics.
There was racing influence as well from the Speedway and stock Cars which Ipswich is well known for.
There was a nice selection of trucks and vans from the UK and the USA, the Transit with hundreds of glowing and pulsing LEDs took my eye.
OK there was a huge USA rig that was transporting a great idea of motorised small version trucks for the little ones to ride in as well as the dads to accompany their kids.
There were a few fast UK Fords to be seen, many of which are starting to command some serious money to buy one.
A promise of some 'Super Cars' and 'Film Cars' were to be on show as well, I only spotted one of each, perhaps there was more on the Sunday.
One car that was getting a lot of attention was this Ford Popular, all chrome and was allegedly driven there from a Kent to Suffolk and "not trailored here", a distance of around one hundred miles or so. There was not a spec of dirt on it anywhere, not even in the tyre grooves, let alone how he managed to carry all the mirrors and equipment with him as well. Maybe a convoy down to the show but he seemed to be on his own. What do you think?
There was a few stalls there and a few stalls that belonged in a craft fair more so than a car show.
Back to my main story, during the day I had a guy talking to me who had just bought his red '68 Mustang Coupe and he explained that it needed a little bit of work doing to it. We chatted away for about thirty minutes or so before he had a look around the show. About an hour or two later he came back to me with a couple of guys with him and he looked worried. He asked me to borrow my key to open his trunk as he had locked his keys in there. The car was open luckily and I explained that my '66 key was a different design. He was now starting to stress a little and I said don't worry we can get into the trunk. I took out my travel tool kit and we walked to his car, where I explained to take the seats out and the card backing behind the seat back he should be able to reach in and get the keys. His friend helped him take the out seats and used my tools for the nuts and bolts that needed to be undone. A few minutes later the keys were located and all was good in the world again.
The decision was simple and the end of the day, I was going to Helmingham Hall on the Sunday where I took more yet more photos. I will post those pictures later in the week.

Cool seeing American classics out of the country.
I totally agree, some of these huge Caddy & Lincolns fill our little roads, but they get around, just. Absolute works of art.
Mart, great post. I enjoy seeing all the Yank iron you have in the UK. One quick note: that red Mustang at the bottom of your post; if that's the one you're referring to in the text, it's a '68, not a '67. The '68s added the side marker lights, which is one of the few differences compared to a '67. Also, the Mustang in the grilles is ever so slightly different. No matter. Very nice of you to help him out.
Thanks for the comments Richard, you are completely correct, it was indeed a 68. I have now amended the school boy error.
I was in good company, eventually.
Oh, wow! This is so fantastic. There was a recent Mustang show here in my town, and seeing all the beautiful Mustangs was awesome. Mine was parked in the garage that day because who wants to look at a 2017 Mustang when you can look at a 1967 Mustang?!?! Thanks for sharing! The older I get, the more I fall in love with old cars.
There is something about old cars, the works of Automotive Art and character.

International News from the Field: August
Actionable global business intelligence is vital to our members during these uncertain times. AMT's Global Tech Centers supply updated information from their regions regarding new opportunities as well as status reports on local manufacturing facilities that utilize your products and other relevant news.
July's total trading value of imports and exports was $418.57 billion, an increase of 6.5% from June. Exports increased 10.4%, with imports increasing 1.6%. The seven-month trading trend shows increases with Southeast Asia, the EU, and Japan. Trading with the United States, however, has declined.
CNBS (China National Bureau of Statistics) announced that the growth rate of mechanical industrial value added in the first half of 2020 was down 1.5% YOY. There are five major industrial sectors included in this indicator: special purposed equipment, universal equipment, automotive, electrical machinery, and instruments.
Automobile manufacturing has been a bright spot following the pandemic, with a growth rate in July of 21.6%. Retail sales were up 12.3%.
Six automotive manufacturing groups – SAIC, DFMC, FAW, BAIC, GAC, CHANGAN – released their 14th five-year-plan development strategy. In all cases, the projected growth through 2025 is impressive as they gear up to meet the expected increased consumption demand.
CCMA (China Construction Machinery Association) released data for the first half of 2020. The big winner was excavators, up 24.2% YOY with domestic consumption increasing 24.8% and exports 17.8%. Market share for the three top manufacturers were: SANY – 25.5%; XCMG – 16.1%; Caterpillar – 11.2%. Growth, to a lesser extent, was also seen in loaders. Earthmoving equipment saw a slight decrease YOY.
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for the first half of 2020 totalled $77 billion, about the same as the first half of 2019. Among the top sources of investment were Hong Kong, Singapore, and the U.K.
Further to the Ministry of Defense's announcement of banning imports of arms and artillery which could be produced and sourced from within India, there are now around 100 items identified which would be brought under this import embargo over the next three-to-four-year period. Several items on the list are already being manufactured in India by state-owned companies as well as various privately held enterprises, with the idea of keeping them on the embargo list to let them mature and encourage them to form JVs with global players. This direction would help in augmenting the level of manufacturing in the defense and aerospace sectors in India.
Samsung is finalizing plans to shift a major part of its smartphone production to India from Vietnam and other countries. They plan to take advantage of the Indian government's production linked incentive (PLI) scheme announced a couple months ago.
Daimler Trucks infused $325 million to start a second shift of production at their Oragadam, Chennai-based manufacturing plant due to the growth in demand for light and heavy trucks.
Tata Motors is planning to invest around $275 million to enhance capacity of producing commercial vehicles at its Dharwad, Karnataka-based manufacturing plant.
Private sector Medha group will invest $150 million to set up a rail coach factory in Telangana. The facility would manufacture coaches, locomotives, intercity trainsets, metro trains, and monorails.
Medtronic PLC is investing $170 million to expand its R&D center in Hyderabad.
Japanese company Amperex Technology acquired 180 acres of land in Haryana to set up a lithium iron polymer (LIP) battery plant.
JCB will invest $20 million to expand its portfolio of products. The objective is to take advantage of the investments that will be made by the Brazilian government in infrastructure projects.
Brazilian WEG is expanding its portfolio of products as it enters the oil and gas segment. The first investment is about $35 million.
Brazil's 2020 GDP projection continues to improve. It is now -5.52%, per the Central Bank.
Swiss Tornos is incorporating in Brazil after seven years of a partnership with its local distributor, Bener. Plans are to open a tech center in the city of Campinas to display machines and technology.
Rio de Janeiro state, the birthplace of Brazilian petroleum corporation Petrobras and home for companies like Peugeot, Citroen, and VW Trucks and Buses, implemented new legislation for reducing taxes paid by companies who use steel as a raw material. The idea is to increase competitiveness of the state against Sao Paulo and attract companies who are planning to invest in Brazil. The initiative has been named the "Law of Steel."
Seco Tools, a Swedish manufacturer of tooling, is expanding capacity at its facilities in Sorocaba to produce customized tooling. Investments have been made in 5-axis grinding machines and lathes.
Ardagh, a packaging manufacturer from Luxembourg, is investing heavily in the production of cans in Brazil as demand continues to grow.
The industrial PMI index has been trending up: 36 points in April; 38 points in May; 52 points in June; and 58 points in July. Unemployment is at 14%.
The GDP in the eurozone (19 countries of the 27-member EU who use the euro currency) is down by 12.1% Q2 over Q1, and unemployment has been reduced by 2.8%. Industrial production is up 9.1% both in the eurozone and the entire EU. U.S. exports to the EU for the first half of the year was $123 million, more than a 60% drop from the same period last year.
The manufacturing PMI for the EU as of mid-August is 51.8. Consumer confidence is -15.
In July 2020, the European Commission published the European Skills Agenda for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness, and resilience. It sets ambitious, quantitative objectives for upskilling (improving existing skills) and reskilling (training in new skills) to be achieved within the next five years. The aim is to ensure that the right to training and lifelong learning becomes a reality across Europe to the benefit of everyone. This has been widely approved as the right policy to maintain European industrial competitiveness at home and abroad.
EUCAR, the European Council for Automotive R&D, includes all leading car manufacturers operating in Europe in its membership and is a good indicator for the future trends in the automotive sector. Several current projects focus on electromobility and EV technology.
The aerospace and defense industry companies of all sizes are calling for a rational and expedient EU-U.K. agreement in preparation for the United Kingdom's final departure from the EU.
Rolls Royce is actively involved in the development of sustainable aviation fuels – fuels that are not derived from fossil-based oil or gas – to get the industry ready for a net-zero carbon future. It is assessed that such fuel will be ready for wide use within 10 to 20 years. Most RR aircraft engines can already operate using blended fuels, and the regulations now allow for a 50% blend.
According to Siemens Digital, aerospace and defense companies are experiencing a digital transformation which in turn is leading to a period of exciting innovations. However, this also means they are faced with delivering new and increasingly complex products with better performance to their customer faster, while also providing increased levels of product support for the life of the product. With today's digital technology, the complexity can be turned into an advantage when a digital transformation strategy for manufacturing is implemented.
Across Europe, a raft of new nuclear projects is springing up to provide a reliable, yet low carbon, source of energy. Countries like Turkey, France, Belarus, Finland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, the U.K., and Sweden have plans for either new plants or upgrades to existing plants.

New Data on Access to Mental Health and Addictions Services and Home and Community Care
Maria Zaccaria Cho, Jennifer Frood, Liudmila Husak, Jeanie Lacroix, Norma Hall and Luke Andrew Turcotte
As the population ages, more Canadians need home care to help manage their health conditions and live safely at home. For Canadians of all ages, timely access to mental health and addictions services is an area of growing concern. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its strain on health system resources have further highlighted the need to improve services in these areas. The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) is working with governments across Canada to bridge data gaps, develop indicators and publicly report results as part of a collective effort to improve access in these two sectors. Results for three new indicators were released by CIHI in 2020.
Canadians now have more information about access to home and community care and to mental health and addictions services. Results are available for three new indicators chosen by the federal1, provincial and territorial health ministries, in consultation with Canadians, to measure access in these sectors (Government of Canada 2017). Initial results provide a baseline against which to track improvements. Over time, these indicators will tell a clearer story about access to care across the country, identify where there are gaps in services and help make meaningful changes to improve the experiences of Canadian patients and their families.
On August 6, 2020, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) released results, based on 2018 –2019 data, for three new indicators (CIHI 2020):
Self-harm, including suicide. In 2018, 25,000 Canadians were hospitalized or died due to intentional self-harm.
Caregiver distress. Ninety-six percent of individuals receiving long-term home care had an unpaid caregiver. More than one in three of these caregivers were distressed.
New long-term care residents who potentially could have been cared for at home. About one in nine newly admitted long-term care residents potentially could have been cared for at home.
The data predate the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. While the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on access to mental health and addictions services and to home and community care is not yet known, CIHI's data represent a baseline from which progress can be measured over time. Detailed results, as well as more information on data sources, data limitations and methodology, are available at https://www.cihi.ca/en/measuring-access-to-priority-health-services.
Self-Harm, Including Suicide
This indicator measures the rate of hospital stays for and deaths from intentional self-harm, regardless of suicidal intent. Even when there is no intention to die, deliberate self-harm signals emotional distress that may end in accidental death or serious injury.
In 2018–2019, almost 25,000 Canadians stayed in hospital after intentionally harming themselves or died by suicide. This is the equivalent of almost 70 self-harm events every day. Of these nearly 25,000 Canadians who harmed themselves, more than 3,800 died as a result of their injuries. These deaths were much more likely to occur in the community (89%) than in the hospital. Rates of self-harm, including suicide, varied more than seven-fold among provinces and territories.
Hospitalization rates for self-harm were higher for females than males across most age groups, with the highest rates seen in young women. Rates were three times higher for girls and women of 10 –24 years than for males in the same age group.
The picture looks different, however, when looking at deaths from self-harm. Suicide rates were higher for males, affecting men of 45 –64 years the most (Figure 1).
Self-harm impacts Canadians of all income levels. However, Canadians living in the lowest-income neighbourhoods had twice the rate of hospital stays compared to those living in the highest-income neighbourhoods.
Individuals living in rural or remote areas were also more likely to have a hospital stay for self-harm compared to those in urban areas.
Caregiver Distress
This indicator measures the proportion of unpaid caregivers who experience distress while caring for a family member or friend who receives publicly funded homecare services and supports.
Unpaid caregivers play a vital role in our health systems by supporting people with health challenges to stay at home or in the community. Providing care to a family member or friend can be demanding, with profound emotional, mental, financial and physical impacts.
In 2018–2019, 96% of individuals who received long-term home care had an unpaid caregiver. More than one in three of these caregivers of individuals who received home care in reporting provinces and territories were distressed, which can include feelings of anger or depression or the inability to continue with caring activities.
Caregivers who are distressed spend an average of 38 hours a week providing care – the equivalent of a full-time job. In comparison, the data show that this is twice the number of caregiving hours provided by caregivers who are not distressed (19 hours a week; Figure 2).
Among caregivers who are distressed, seven out of 10 supported individuals who required substantial assistance with personal care activities, including bathing or showering, eating, dressing, brushing their teeth, toilet use and getting in and out of bed. Caregivers were also twice as likely to be distressed if they cared for a person with communication difficulties or behavioural problems.
New Long-Term Care Residents Who Potentially Could Have Been Cared for at Home
Most older adults in Canada want to remain at home for as long as possible as they age. However, some individuals are admitted to long-term care even though they potentially could have been cared for at home with proper supports. These include individuals with mild cognitive impairment who require no more than limited assistance with activities of daily living. This indicator measures the percentage of people who were newly admitted to long-term care and who had similar health characteristics to people living well at home with formal supports in place.
In 2018–2019, 45,000 Canadians were admitted to a long-term care facility in reporting provinces and territories. Of these residents, one in nine potentially could have been cared for at home with formal supports in place. This represents more than 5,000 long-term care spaces across Canada (Figure 3).
Where people live can influence their likelihood of entering long-term care. People who lived in rural areas were over 50% more likely than those living in urban areas to be admitted to long-term care when they potentially could have been cared for at home. This may be due to fewer homecare services being offered in rural and remote areas.
Similar to other newly admitted long-term care residents, two in three were mostly women and over 50% were more than 85 years old.
Residents and family members of residents admitted to long-term care told us they experienced various barriers to remaining at home. A qualitative analysis of focus group discussions uncovered four overarching themes:
Difficulty navigating the healthcare system. People experienced confusion and challenges around whom to contact, what services were available, the amount of time required to coordinate services and the lack of continuity across the system.
Financial barriers. Because publicly funded home care does not cover all costs associated with caring for someone at home, some families experienced significant out-of-pocket expenses. Those living in rural and remote communities faced higher travel costs for medical appointments and limited availability of homecare services and supports.
Responsiveness. People emphasized the importance of reliable homecare staff, as well as the need for services that were flexible to the changing needs of the person receiving care.
Access to special services. People highlighted the need for social and emotional support, help with non-medical needs and services tailored to their language and cultural needs.
These new indicators provide a baseline against which to track improvements in access to mental health and addictions services, and to home and community care over time. With annual reporting of results among a suite of pan-Canadian indicators, the indicators will tell us more about access to care in these areas, identify where there are gaps in services and help make meaningful changes to improve the experiences of Canadian patients and their families.
CIHI will continue to work with provincial and territorial governments, Health Canada, Statistics Canada and other partners to enhance and develop common information standards, improve data coverage and quality and explore new sources of data for public reporting (Government of Canada 2019). These include working closely with jurisdictions to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and to help address the resulting data gaps.

Husky not keen on pulling/running??
My dog sometimes seems very unenthusiastic about doing any kind of work I wondered if anyone has any experience of this or any ideas why he does it? He might be fine for ages then just decide he doesn't want to go one day. Is he taking the mick out of me or does he just not like doing it alone, as he's fine with another dog? (He's had a Vet check and is in good health (he's 5yr old husky X mal).
When he decides to do this, he basically just stops and sits next to me at the start of going out, if I try to pull him he will roll over on his back and look at me doing the submissive thing. I usually just wait and eventually he gets up and carries on. Once we are away from the house, he will not do this at all and will be his usual hyper self, he will pull properly and seems to be enjoying himself.
He does it mainly if I'm bikejoring or running with him and very occasionally if he's just going for a walk on his collar, but only if we have gone straight from the house and he is on his own.
If I take him to a new place by car, or we have another dog with us he is fine.
(I have a horses and it's like something they do called 'napping' where the horse will try to go back to the yard at the beginning of the ride or be very slow, but once you are away from the other horses/'home' they get on with it).
Sorry for the weird analogy, but that's the only way I can think to describe it!
He seems like he enjoys running more with another dog. But unfortunately I don't have another dog that can do it. (I did try with my mum's lab, but whereas my dog runs ahead in a straight line, my mum's likes to drag us all into the path of oncoming cars! Not something I wish to repeat lol) Not sure whether I should just not run with him anymore or just push him through it till we get away from the house.
Not sure about anyone else's husky but I think that some just start slowing down a little as they age faster than others. My girl is 6 years and while I know she has fine stamina she often just doesn't want to run. She doesn't mind walking forever but she just doesn't feel like running and sometimes I will practically step on her during a walk because she will purposefully step in front of me to get me to walk instead of run. I get your analogy. I grew up with horses. Some days we just need motivation. I also get what you mean by the lab is frustrating to walk. My second dog is a german shepherd mix of some sort and he's terribly spastic on a walk whereas Kenzi will tow the line right down the path without problem. Do you do the same trail every day? Switching up trails every day or every other day, walking trails a different direction or stopping to do little training tricks ever so often can really spice up a walk for a dog and bring a little of their enthusiasm back. It could also be that some days he's just a little more stiff than others and just doesn't feel like the run. While still a young dog, dogs that get worked and run a lot sometimes need put on joint supplements earlier than others.
I don't have this problem with my husky but it has always been an issue with my akita. She doesn't expend energy on anything below a certain interest level. If I walked her around our neighborhood she'd probably start refusing to go on walks. It's boring. Same old stuff, same old cars, same old people... Now put them on a trail through a wooded area, along water, with fields, etc... and you will be digging your heels in to not end up flying down the path. My husky, Niji, is just learning hiking etiquette and commands so everywhere is interesting because it's all new still.
Hm... you may have a flat tire.
that picture is great lol that's him alright!
Thanks for the replies, given me some things to consider. I do tend to go the same way, because to get any where good you have to go on the road first. But thinking about it he is always fine if I go somewhere new, so I'll try to switch things up a bit.
He does seemed to get bored of things very quickly if he does it often.
He would love to go to a wood or something but I have a bit of a ridiculous car that I can't fit a bike or much in!
Going on hols with him soon though- I know he will be excited about everything there!
I have a 5 Mustangs and my husband has 3 Camaros. Bike rack is the best thing ever invented. lol.

Q: Trouble getting cpplint to work on Jenkins Does anyone know how to install cppcheck on Jenkins? I installed the plugin through Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins but when I follow the instructions and included an "execute shell" build step, it fails.
cppcheck src

returns an log file like this:
cppcheck: not found
Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure

I tried looking at some online tutorials, but they didn't seem to help fix the problem. Should I use the CLI to install cppcheck on Jenkins, rather than the web UI? I don't think that will fix the issue, as it seems that cppcheck is not installed on the server.
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

California officially becomes first in nation mandating solar power for new homes
'Historic undertaking' expected to boost number of rooftop solar panels across the Golden State.
(File photo by Will Lester- The Press-Enterprise/SCNG)
By Jeff Collins | JeffCollins@scng.com | Orange County Register
PUBLISHED: December 6, 2018 at 10:07 a.m. | UPDATED: December 6, 2018 at 10:22 a.m.
California officially became the first state in the nation on Wednesday, Dec. 5 to require homes built in 2020 and later be solar powered.
To a smattering of applause, the California Building Standards Commission voted unanimously to add energy standards approved last May by another panel to the state building code.
Two commissioners and several public speakers lauded the new code as "a historic undertaking" and a model for the nation.
"These provisions really are historic and will be a beacon of light for the rest of the country," said Kent Sasaki, a structural engineer and one of six commissioners voting for the new energy code. "(It's) the beginning of substantial improvement in how we produce energy and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels."
The new provisions are expected to dramatically boost the number of rooftop solar panels in the Golden State. Last year, builders took out permits for more than 115,000 new homes — almost half of them for single-family homes.
Wednesday's action upholds a May 9 vote by another body, the California Energy Commission, seeking to fulfill a decade-old goal to make the state reliant on cleaner, alternative energy. The energy panel's vote was subject to final approval by the Building Standards Commission.
The Building Standards Commission was limited to reviewing the energy panel's rulemaking process, not the content of the standards, said commission Chairwoman Marybel Batjer. Commissioners said the process was more than sufficient, with 35 meetings, hearings and webinars held over a 15-month period. The energy panel received more than 3,000 comments from over 100 stakeholders, officials said.
While nobody spoke Wednesday in opposition to the new provisions, the commission received more than 300 letters from around the state opposing the solar mandate because of the added cost.
Energy officials estimated the provisions will add $10,000 to the cost of building a single-family home, about $8,400 from adding solar and about $1,500 for making homes more energy-efficient. But those costs would be offset by lower utility bills over the 30-year lifespan of the solar panels.
One commission member worried the mandate would make it harder for California wildfire victims to rebuild, but supporters assured him that won't be a problem.
Homeowners will have two options that eliminate the upfront costs of adding solar: Leasing the solar panels or signing a "power purchase agreement" that pays for the electricity without buying the panels, said Drew Bohan, executive director of the California Energy Commission.
One solar-industry representative said the net savings from adding solar power will be around $40 a month or nearly $500 a year.
"These standards won't necessarily make homes more expensive to buy. What they will do is save money on utility costs," said Pierre Delforge, a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council. "This is not only the right thing to do for the climate, it is financially smart."
Meanwhile, the changes won endorsements both from environmentalists and the California Building Industry Association.
"Six years ago, I was very fearful of this," said Bob Raymer, technical director for the state building association. "But the very open arrangement that we have with the (energy commission) … brought us to the point where we can support this."
Homebuilders have been preparing for years to meet a proposed requirement that all new homes be "net-zero," meaning they would produce enough solar power to offset all electricity and natural gas consumed over the course of a year.
Provisions adopted Wednesday relaxed that goal a bit, requiring new homes only offset electricity used but not natural gas.
To meet net-zero energy goals, a typical house would need the capacity to produce 7 or 8 kilowatts of electricity, which wouldn't be cost-effective, Raymer told the commission. But a modest amount of solar — producing about 3 kilowatts of power — would be cost-effective in all of California's 16 climate zones.
In addition to the solar mandate, the new provisions tighten green homebuilding standards, with such requirements as thicker attic and wall insulation, more efficient windows and doors and improved ventilation systems. They also encourage developers to add battery storage and heat-pump water heaters to new homes.
But the heart of the update is the solar power requirement, which applies to all new residential buildings up to three stories high, including apartments. The code allows some exceptions, such as when the structures are in shady areas or when electricity rates already are lower than the cost of generating solar power.
The rules also allow for offsite solar production, so developments can build solar arrays feeding multiple homes or contract with utility-owned solar farms.
"We have lots of options," said Raymer, the building industry's technical director.
Hundreds of letters, most of them form letters, poured into the capital opposing the solar mandate.
The solar mandate "will be costly to homeowners in California and also eliminates personal choice," said a letter signed by Butte County Treasurer-Tax Collector Peggy Moak. Moak said the tab for installing solar panels is a lot higher than the $8,400 estimate, "running more than $25,000."
"With median home prices in California already more than double the national average, this decision will make it even more difficult for the average Californian to afford a home," added a letter signed by Assemblyman James Gallagher, R-Yuba City.
Several solar industry representatives speaking Wednesday supported the provisions, including a representative of Tesla, which builds battery storage systems for homes.
"The homeowners will be able to save money from the day they walk in the door," said Kelly Knutsen, technology advancement director for the California Solar & Storage Association. "This is a historical policy. California is leading the country in clean energy, clean air and fighting climate change, all while saving consumers money."

Neo-Tokyo - will it convert to 6E?

Given the announcement of 6E, it's time to ask the obvious question. Will Neo-Tokyo stay 5E until it concludes in 2021, or will there be a conversion to 6E?

I would imagine season 11 and on will be 6E, since that'll be the current edition by that point.
The FAQ still covers converting 4E SRM characters to 5E, so I can't imagine there won't be something similar to update 5E Neo-Tokyo runners.

RPG mechanics exist to give structure and consistency to the game world, true, but at the end of the day, you're fighting dragons with algebra and random number generators.
the current season (10) that debuts at Origins will stay 5E, but we are still discussing what future seasons will end up being

I am wondering about this myself. I ran six missions last Gencon and banked the karma for an Ally Spirit. I would finish it this Gencon but I would like to know if it would be undone by a conversion to 6th before events registration for Gencon this Sunday. Kinda Important.
Kiirnodel
There is no way that the upcoming missions this GenCon are going to be converted to 6th edition. The rules aren't going to be fully available until THAT weekend.
I would guess, that the soonest we are looking at would be for season 11 to be 6th edition.
For the record, my vote is against trying to convert mid-locale. Just like with the move from 4th to 5th, the conversion should be a full reset...

Those of us with complicated characters are not going to want to retrofit their particulars.

I figure I would throw in my two cents.
If we are looking forward:
Player and concepts that haven been created for NeoTokyo and run for two GenCon's/Origins will get that axe due to the complete loss of source material in the switch. This can be disheartening for players who are building a character concept and views of particular NPCs and situations that can no longer be made thus making players feel it negates what they have accomplished.
Looking backwards:
As someone who jumped into missions play the second to last and last season of Chicago I was able to find tables out in the wilds to play the earlier season stuff. This was exciting because as I ran out of the "new" stuff as a new player to missions I was able to play older modules without issues.
I bring up the second point because if a conversion is pushed at the cons for the last two seasons of NeoTokyo once done you have then shut potential new players (and older players) who have not be able to experience the older mods with their new "upgraded" 6e characters.
This is part of the problem Paizo is facing and I have seen in tables I play of pathfinder. People have slowed to even stopped showing up to current events as come this Aug all of the characters they have been playing for years are no longer valid for play. The sentiment of "Why should I play when in X months it won't matter" is such a common statement I hear.
People in the shadowrun community at least are used to a 4 year reset. Every 4 years you build a new character and new concept to fit a setting. By waiting for the end it would allow for you to A. give a nice close to the chapter and B. Allow for the new setting to begin in the era you guys are shooting for.
tl;dr My vote would also be that the official launch for 6e in missions be when the new setting hits just so players don't feel like they wasted time playing characters that won't matter soon.
Quote from: Sigfred on (01:50:58/05-28-19)
...+1.
Dual stating something as small as a typical Mission shouldn't be much time, but there are several. Dual stating future missions and retro fitting ..... 12 SRMs and ?16? CMPs could be done to let Sixth Edition characters play the earlier NT Missions.
It would complicate setting up Missions at Cons and such as you'd have to specify which edition which could lead to some player confusion, but I think it's better to have the option to pick an edition to finish up the NT campaign. Folks can either play it out with 5th edition rules, or start new characters in 6th and play through the entire arc.
Heck, you could let Players transfer Mission Rewards to alternate edition characters. Player shows up with a 5th edition character for a 6th edition game, oops. Here have a pre-gen, play the game, go ahead and have the rewards for your 5th edition character and toss the pre-gen.

That's the ideal. And realistically it's maybe an hour tops per mission to dual stat things. As an aside drop the art or whatever is slowing it down to get these to the public. I'd happily run neo Tokyo for my group but who knows of it will ever be available. And this game needs it. I can't hand craft an adventure every week anymore. I suspect most the fans are in the age/life point where they can't either.

DTE Impact
Pumping up our service excellence
by Jack Reynolds | Jan 14, 2020
Safe. Caring. Dependable. Efficient. Those are the four Service Keys that help all DTE employees make better decisions for our customers and provide service excellence. The power of these Service Keys has never been more evident than in a recent event in Canton.
Late last year, we visited a residence to install a new smart meter and restore power after it had been temporarily shut off. Upon arrival, we quickly realized, not only was the power off, but there was 18 inches of water filling the basement.
Due to having no power, the home's sump pump stopped operating. The homeowner had been unaware of the outage as she was staying elsewhere due to medical reasons. Her son, who occasionally checks the house, reported it to DTE.
Once aware of the situation, the Distribution Operations team collaborated quickly to figure out what they would be able to do to help. Jeremy Smith, supervisor of field underground, took it upon himself to go the extra mile.
"It was an unfortunate situation," Smith said. "But through our collaboration we were able to get to the home quickly, talk with the customer and provide the level of customer service that is expected from us."
Smith made it a point to not only go and try to comfort the customer but bring equipment to help. He brought a pump to empty the water from the basement, coordinated an overhead crew to reconnect the power and after the power was on, worked to get the furnace running.
"It was important for me to go out and personally make sure our customer felt cared for," Smith said. "Our job shouldn't stop at restoring power. We should make sure we leave every customer with a positive experience and better perception of DTE."
Smith emphasized how being positive and transparent can go a long way in situations like these to improve customer satisfaction. He also raved about the help his coworkers gave that night.
Jerry Tullio, overhead field supervisor, Peter Bean, underground technician, Chris Falls and Jordan Kmiecik, overhead linemen, and Scott Haidy, underground cable splicer, all assisted that night. The job would not have been possible to complete if not for the teamwork that took place.
"This is a situation that really demonstrates our service keys – specifically caring and dependable," said Bill Cloutier, recently retired director of the Southwest Region. "Even during a rightfully stressful moment, the customer couldn't have had more positive things to say about DTE. He was very grateful that we went above and beyond and helped him in this way."
"You can't measure the impact of having team members that understand our service mission and demonstrate it in their daily work," Cloutier added.
