2020 outlook: Workforce woes may impact big Reno project timelines

RENO, Nev. — Like usual, it's going to be another year of feast or famine for regional contractors and developers.
In this instance, the table is full to overflowing, and bellies are near to bursting from the glut of new development that's keeping most construction personnel working long hours to finish projects on time.
It's in stark contrast to just five short years ago, when construction and development still hadn't fully recovered. The long-term effects of the last building bust are being profoundly felt today.
There's not enough manpower to go around, and the regional construction workforce is extremely stressed as a result, says Jarrett Rosenau, president of Clark & Sullivan's Nevada operations. A combination of factors created a unique firestorm that could potentially lead to delays in development projects or contractor unavailability for future projects.
"Those are some of the factors we look at if sometimes we unfortunately make a hard decision not to pursue a project," Rosenau says. "We are blessed with the work we have and are focused on the clients we have now. We are mindful of the resources that are available to support projects locally."

During the downturn, Rosenau says, one of three things happened to a large portion of construction workers:
1. Older tradesmen left the building industry through retirement, creating a rift in knowledge and talent between younger and older tradesmen.
2. Tradesmen left the area completely for areas that recovered more quickly than Northern Nevada.
3. Tradesmen learned a new vocation and left the construction industry altogether.
Those factors created a vacuum for talent in the construction workforce, and with the amount of development happening across the Truckee Meadows and Northern Nevada, there are simply not enough qualified tradesmen left, Rosenau says.
'FACING A POINT OF SATURATION'
Other construction executives espouse the same theme. Matt Clafton, vice president and general manager of Alston Construction, says that Alston relies on a core network of trusted vendors to provide adequate manpower for jobs. In Northern Nevada, those tasks falls primarily to Bonanno Concrete and XL Concrete.
With development across Northern Nevada not showing any signs of slowing, the dearth of construction managers and supervisors places added pressure on contractors and developers throughout the New Year.
"There's a demand for contractors and construction, so material prices are rising," Clafton says. "It's not so much that copper or steel has gone up — and they have because of tariffs — but when you look at the big picture, those things don't move the needle a ton. Our biggest issue is finding supervisors and project managers in this region."
Matt Clafton
During the downturn, Clafton says, skilled tradespeople and construction office workers left the industry. Despite the building boom, there remains a scarcity of talent across the industry. Those shortages mean more work for the employees who are in place, he adds.
"We are facing a point of saturation to where we are going to burn people out," Clafton says. "We have limited people with those skillsets, and we just have to rely on what we have."
Clark & Sullivan remains bullish on the Northern Nevada market, with plenty of work to come, Rosenau says. The pace of development also will continue to play a large role in the region's fiscal health.
"There's certainly a lot of development going on," he says. "There's private development, which creates a lot of jobs, and those people need to live somewhere so the development arm is working on multifamily, condo, townhome and residential projects. Washoe County School District is in the middle of a very robust (development) program and has been very active in development and creating jobs.
"When you see a balance between private and public development, that is an indicator of a balanced economy that's moving forward," Rosenau adds. "Having been through the downturn we feel like the skinny guys at the buffet. We want to put as much food as possible on the plate, but it's also important to focus on being balanced within your business and within your region and with what you know are the available resources."
STICKER SHOCK WITH HOUSING
Clark & Sullivan's largest project currently underway is construction of the new Hug High School facility at Wildcreek. The longtime regional contractor has begun initial work to re-routing the Orr Ditch, with additional phases including roadwork, traffic light adjustments, creating new sidewalks and construction of the main building and ancillary facilities.
Mike Kazmierski, president and chief executive officer of the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada, expects housing will continue to be in strong demand in 2020 as regional developers try to keep pace with demand.
Mike Kazmierski
Despite the warning that the region needs more housing, it's been too slow in coming, Kazmierski says, and that's what has caused sticker shock for so many homebuyers.
"We need about 6,000 new housing units in the region per year, and that includes all types of housing. We have yet to hit 5,000 units since the recession, and that's causing a lack of supply that's driving prices up," he notes. "Until we add to our supply we are going to continue to have housing cost challenges."
One way to help alleviate the housing crunch, Kazmierski says, it to bring modular home builders to the region since modular units can be completed much more quickly than traditional stick-built homes. EDAWN is working with several modular home builders to bring those types of units to Northern Nevada, Kazmierski says.
With development showing no signs of a pending slowdown, regional construction personnel will continue to feast.
"We are blessed right now," Rosenau says. "Everyone who is in construction and is making good decisions and meeting their commitments should have opportunity to build for many years to come."

Maine to be first for tidal energy
PORTLAND, Maine, July 27 (UPI) -- The United States' first commercial tidal energy project is expected to deliver electricity in September to consumers in Maine.
Portland, Maine, company Ocean Renewable Power Co. unveiled the first dam-less tidal generator this week for its Cobscook Bay project, off the coast of Eastland, which known for its powerful tides.
The project at first will supply electricity to 75-100 households and ultimately will power more than 1,000 homes and businesses.
Under a 20-year power purchase agreement electricity from the site will be sold to three Maine utilities, starting at 21.5 cents a kilowatt hour, nearly double the state's average electricity price of 11.21 cents a kilowatt hour, The Boston Globe reports.
RELATED Study: Ocean waves could power Australia
In 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy awarded a $10 million grant to ORPC for the project.
Citing the upcoming launch of the device in the bay, along with the 20-year PPA, Ocean Renewable President Chris Sauer told Maine's WCSH News that "the combination of those two things will certainly attract the additional investment that we need."
In a statement this week timed with a dedication ceremony at Cobscook Bay, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the tidal energy project "represents a critical investment to ensure America leads in this fast-growing global industry, helping to create new manufacturing, construction, and operation jobs across the country while diversifying our energy portfolio and reducing pollution."
RELATED Scotland touts renewable energy leadership
"Developing America's vast renewable energy resources is an important part of President Obama's all-of-the-above energy strategy to create jobs and strengthen U.S. global competitiveness," Chu said.
A Energy Department tidal energy resource assessment released earlier this year indicates a potential of 250 terawatt hours of electricity could be generated annually from the country's tidal currents, with "major opportunity" hotspots for developments along the East Coast, as well as in Alaska and Hawaii.
Ocean Renewable's cross-flow "TidGen" device measures 95 feet by 50 feet and will stand 31 feet tall on its seabed foundation.
RELATED South Korea partners for offshore wind
After the unit is operational, the Department of Energy requires a visual inspection every 12 weeks for the first year, the Bangor Daily News reports. That entails the use of a large, barge-mounted crane to lift the 90,000-pound turbine out of the bay, then reattaching it to its seabed foundation after the inspection.
U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said the state is well-positioned to lead the country in tidal energy development, noting that the project "is one example of the type of actions we need on a national scale to stabilize energy, prevent energy shortages, and achieve national energy independence."

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl aims cheeky dig at Watford's Ben Foster and 'The Cycling GK'
Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl was asked about what he thought of Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster's Youtube channel, the Cycling GK, and his response was a witty one

Ralph Hasenhuttl has aimed a cheeky dig at Ben Foster and his YouTube channel ahead of Southampton's trip to Watford on Saturday.
Saints travel to Vicarage Road two points and two places behind the 14th-placed Hornets, who have had a solid start to life back in the Premier League following their promotion from the Championship last term.
However, the club's board were not content with how the Hertfordshire outfit were doing after seven games, where they picked up seven points, and sacked manager Xisco Munoz just 10 months into the job.
He was the 13th change of boss at the club since the Pozzo family took over as Watford owners in 2012.

New man Claudio Ranieri oversaw a 5-0 defeat at home to Liverpool and then a 5-2 triumph away to Everton last weekend and now they take on a Southampton side who have won just once all season.
One man that Hasenhuttl is well aware of is Watford's keeper, Foster - a player he has faced three times as Saints boss.
With the Austrian at the helm, Southampton have drawn 1-1 with the Hornets, and beaten them 2-1 and 3-1 so far.
In their two most recent matches, James Ward-Prowse, who is back available after a three-match ban following a red card against Chelsea, scored past Foster, who runs the Youtube channel 'The Cycling GK', on both occasions.
And while Hasenhuttl admits Foster's channel, where he posts cycling videos and Watford matchday video blogs and GoPro footage of the games in the back of his goal, is an interesting idea, he pointed out that the Saints skipper has had quite a bit of joy against him and hopes for the same on Saturday.
When asked if he had seen Foster's videos, he replied: "I haven't seen it, no, I don't know what it is.
"It's an interesting idea, he wants to see himself standing in the goal, it's okay.
"What I know is that Prowsey had some good free-kicks against him in the last games that they played so it's good that he is back in this game, back on the pitch because I think that he is obviously a threat from the set-pieces and free-kicks around the box.
"We have to find the back of the net, no matter how many cameras are posted there, this is not interesting to us."

I had posted in my last post how our Kannada language is rich in culture and legacy. Here is the continued part of it.
Going through the documents at E-Kavi's online archive (https://ellakavi.wordpress.com), we get to know that many enthusiast Kannadigas began to work on the implementation of Kannada on digital gadgets (computers, handhelds, etc). There were around 30 software research groups (companies) which worked on our Kannada language implementation on computers. Many had developed a rich set of fonts required for high quality printing. Others had brought out some of the very good softwares for DTP work and Development kits for application development for the handheld devices. In all there was a healthy competition among the many Kannada software developers which the government or some other organization could choose from for software services and implementation those willing to localize the computerization.
The entry of Baraha and Nudi softwares have killed the business of all these firms. Now due to the mistrust created by these two entities, the doom of great misbelief looms large over the Kannada software development arena. Somedays back one Kannada friend in this forum asked for a trial software, but it was not given most probably for the feat that more fonts may be stolen. These two entities have created such a mistrust that nobody is coming forward to write any useful software for Kannada, why should they, when all the standards are stupidly made and our mindless government itself has declared that Nudi is the sole package to be used in all Government offices. This is a mindless way of our own government killing the business of Kannada enthusiasts. Unfortunately not many Kannadigas have tried to set the things right in this front, which has a direct implication on the survival of Kannada. May be all these known to many Kannadigas.
So what should be done to set the things right? When our government goes to foreign lands wasting the taxpayer's money on foreign trips to attact FDI, here in our own Kannada land, our Kannada enterprises are getting enraged and have found the dirty tactics of our government as far as the KSD is concerned. Unless the things are set right in this direction, Kannada survival is in serious threat. Once Kannada becomes weak (which it already has in many fronts due to these murky happenings), no culture, religion and anything similar exist.
First of all our Kannada enthusiasts will not need any forums to discuss Kannada issues as there will be nothing to discuss. So, what should our government do to set things right and encourage more Kannadigas to participate in Kannada building efforts on computers? This is a set of questions each and every Kannadiga should ask to him/her. This question and solution to them should clear the heavily shrouded cloud of mistrust that prevails now.
I have not tried to mention all those names who are involved in Baraha and Nudi development who have been responsible for the mess in KSD. It is imperative that they have caused a big damage to Kannada through KSD. Keeping in view the greater Kannada good, those people at KGP should be taken to charge, because, though they are answarable to every Kannadiga they have not cared to even have a feedback, keep things transparent, not attending a meeting with Kannadigas when many arranged for one a long back, their stupid misadventures only grow to show their shortcomings. If they have some shame and if they care for Kannadigas, they should come open to talk to Kannadigas about their take on KSD. Otherwise it only means that they have done every mindless thing that they are accused of.
Friends, put in your suggestions as to what should be done at least from now on. Let this discussion be a brainstorming one even if it leads to flame wars.
Why should not we have a flame war if it paves way for a good result?
Read what Dr. U. B. PAVANAJA has written about BARAHA, NUDi and AKRUTHI Fonts.
Dr. Kambar who presided EKAVI Suvarana Sambrama program held on September 29th 2007, lashes out at Govt. of Karnataka for not taking proper steps to correct the problems of Kannada Software Development in Karnataka State.
PLEASE go through these emails written in 2004 about KANNADA LANGUAGE and KANNADA Software Development.
Thank you for your detailed description of the problems being faced in the operation of NUDI and the use of Kannada software to carry on work by the Government. i must confess to great ignorance of software technologies and preparation. However, your communication is a good trarting point for some study into the items you have raised. i shall ask the Secretary E-Governance to examine as to what needs to be done on the points you have raised. i am marking a copy of this reply to him which should help you to be in touch with the source that should be in a position to follow what you have pointed out.
SINCE 2004, GoK has not made any attempt to correct the problems of Kannada Software Development, even with 1000 letters to GoK.
BARAHA Fonts has DESTROYED the KANNADA SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT in KARNATAKA STATE.
BARAHA FONTS is COPIED by NUDI Fonts by Kannada Ganaka Parishat and then KGP sold it to Govt. of Karnataka for 29 Lakhs.
Is this what we want ? Be TRUTHFUL in telling KANNADIGAS.
Bring this to open first !!!
GoK using STOLEN NUDI fonts !!
Atleast read what Dr. U. B. PAVANAJA has written about BARAHA, NUDi and AKRUTHI Fonts.
ACCORDING TO KRIA, Karnataka Right to Information Act, You all need to respond in certain number of days to email letters.
I hope GOK Secretaries are following this KRIA act properly and respond to letters of citizens of Karnataka State.
Press and MEDIA in Bangalore and Karnataka State need to act on this and expose what is happenning.
KANNADIGAS expect an answer from you all.
I had written to you On June 13th, 2004 about INCOMPATIBLE KANNADA SOFTWARE being used in GoK. You had promptly responded to me on June 15th, 2004. Both the copies of the emails are appended here for you and all in the email to read. You had written that you have referred this issue to Secretary of egovernance of GoK.
What did he do? NOTHING. egovSec went to make his deals with NISG, CMS / RAMINFO TECH and adopting CAG slammed project eSeva for Bangalore One Project. WHAT A WAY TO HANDLE THINGS FOR GOK !!
NISG has to take most of the blame for all the things that are happenning in eGov of INDIA.
This eGov Sec of GoK does not have regard for KANNADA Language. He is interested in deals to be made as quickly as possible. He does not know how long he is going to stay as eGov Sec ofGOK !! MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUNSHINES !!!
WHAT HAS HAPPENED NOW NOTHING ? Please read the following and also rely from CM of Karnataka State.
Now GOK Secretaries EXPERTS COMMITTEE and EMPOWERED COMMITTEE of GOK gone ahead with BANGALORE ONE Project also which in itself is a FRAUD ON PEOPLE OF BANAGLORE CITY and KARNATAKA STATE. Please go through this URL. It might save lots of time for lots of peopel in Karnataka State.
Sixty-two departments have taken up e-governance projects at a cost of Rs. 179.93 crores.
Only 17 departments have completed their projects. Projects are in initial stage in 10 departments.
Each department opted for its own brand of software that is not compatible with that in other offices.
Bangalore : E-governance and computerization are yet to be completed in many government departments and agencies despite spending huge sums of money on them in the past five years and concomitant publicity.
Sixty-two government departments have taken up e-governance projects since 1995-96 at a cost of Rs. 179.93 crores for achieving the goals of efficiency, transparency and citizen-friendly interface. Of them, only 17 departments have completed their projects. The projects are at the completion stage in four departments and at the initial stage in 10 departments. Some progress has been made in 26 departments. There is, however, no information about the projects in five departments, according to official records.
In their eagerness to catch up with the latest trends in information technology, each departments opted for its own brand of Kannada software that is not compatible with that in other offices.
while Social Welfare and Employment and Training went in for "Nudi" and "Kairali" software.
the Excise Department had adopted ISM.
The Karnataka High Court and Port and Inland Water Transport department have used "Surabhi" software.
The Karnataka Legal Services Authority has used "Surabhi" and "Srilipi" software.
The Gulbarge Municipal Corporation has used "Lipi" software.
The Directorate of Translation has used "Akrati" and "Kannada Padma" software.
As a result, collection of data and reporting from one department to another is almost impossible, and the entire works has to be done all over again. If e-governance is to effective, individual application programmes should be able to communicate with those of the other departments. Inter-operability of e-governance projects is of vital importance if citizens are to benefit from information technology, say experts in e-governance.
Most of the departments have given consultancy to companies such as C-DAC, Wipro Infotech, HCL, Keonics, Zenith Computers, Excel software, TCL Limited, and Crest Technologies for software.
The Chief Minister, N. Dharam Singh has acknowledged the delay in the completion of e-governance projects.
He said in the Legislative Assembly recently he will take steps for their early completion. Many legislators argued that crores of rupees have been spent on e-governance projects but to no avail.
Thank you for your detailed description of the problems being faced in the operation of NUDI and the use of Kannada software to carry on work by the Government. i must confess to great ignorance of software technologies and preparation. However, your communication is a good trarting point for some study into the items you have raised. i shall ask the Secretary E-Governance to examine as to what needs to be done on the points you have raised. i am marking a copy of this reply to him which sould help you to be in touch with the source that should be in a position to follow what you have pointed out.
This is request from Kannadigas of Karnataka and all over the world. Kannada should be used in all Departments of GoK. Is this happenning ? Is Development work of Kannada Software heading in the right direction? This is a request fro all of you to look into. Here are some of the information provided for your file. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.
All GoK Departemnts should be using the same software and networking systems.
eGovernance of GoK needs to look into the Development of Kannada Software. This is not going properly. Even though Bangalore being IT Capital.
Has eGovernance checked why Kannada Developers are not coming forward with new products?
NUDI Kannada Software is the property of GoK. Since it was funded by GoK.
GoK sponsored Nudi software must be made Open Source Software (OSS). NUDI should be made UNICODE compatible in all avenues. Not in one item as it is now. GoK need to do this immedately without wasting any time.
WHY eGovernance has not recomended NUDI Software to be Open Source Software (OSS) ? This helps all Kannadigas to develop further the Kannada Software, SO THAT GoK can have better programs for a smooth networking of all Departments of GoK.
DOES eGovernance know problems with NUDI SOFTWARE? Some of them are listed here for the benefit of GoK.
a. NUDI breaks the GOI standard when arkavattu is involved. NUDI has problem in Export to IISCII.
Nudi's editor has a feature "Save As Unicode". But the file saved as Unicode can not be opend again by Nudi. In other words, Nudi's editor can not edit a Unicode document.
c. Nudi does not provide opentype font which is required for rendering Kannada Unicode text.
d. There is no bi-lingual font standard for Kannada. Does eGovernance know this?
Nudi's Save As ISCII breaks the Govt of India standard when arkavattu is involved.
Nudi uses a scheme called Kannada Script Code for Language Processing (KSCLP) for sorting, which is not as per any standard. But the fact is that this KSCLP is a good solution for Kannada Sorting. This should be in the Public Domain.
f. Nudi has just a keyboard driver for Unicode which works only on Windows XP and 2003. Windows XP and 2003 have built-in support for Unicode making the Unicode feature of Nudi redundant. Nudi does not provide opentype font which is required for rendering Kannada Unicode text. Nudi's Software Development Kit (SDK) does not support Unicode.
Egample: Type some text in Kannada using Nudi 4. Save it as Unicode. Then open the same file again in Nudi 4. It shows it as junk. Nudi cannot display a Kannada Unicode text file created by XP or Linux. That means Nudi's Unicode support is of no use.
g. There is a difference between Freeware and Free Software. Nudi is a Freeware but not a Free Software. As per GNU, Free Software is the one where the source code is also available in public domain. Nudi's source code is not available in public domain. It is not an opensource software. Only binary (executable) of Nudi is free. If you are a software expert, found some bugs in Nudi (there are many) and want to correct them, then you can not do so.
1. Nudi developed using non-standard proprietory encoding which is not a standard.
2. Nudi uses the modified ISCII standard (ISCII is a national standard).
3. Nudi does not provide any conversion utility to convert the data created using the other existing Kannada software.
4. Nudi does not provide conversion utility to convert between the data created in the standard glyphs and the ISCII.
Kannadigas are complaining that fonts issued along with Nudi are not of professional quality, there is not support mechanism for Nudi, Nudi has many bugs, etc.
Kannadigas and Developers feel IF Nudi is made OSS, passionate developers can fix the bugs in Nudi.
All the above has done damage to Kannada software development.
We all need to promote more Kannada Software developers to come forward for the benefit of GoK and make it more open. THIS HELPS GoK also.
Literally, there can be a Kannada version for every software in English. All of you please think why there are many software in English and why not in Kannada or any Indian Language. It is the business (need or anticipated need) which drives the development. How one can expect the development, WHEN KANNADA Software development is monopolised?
If any of you has any questions on this, Please write to me. ATLEAST some of you must look into these problems that are created here and try to correect it.
Bangalore One tender scam – A National Scam in the making !
So what is you answer now ? Are you going to answer the problems that are arised here ?
We are waiting for your reply and also from HONEST RESPONSIBLE officers in GoK, IF there are any left in GoK.
I hope MINISTERS and POLITICIANS take notice of these things.

Here you are at the Pinellas Park FL emergency dentist web-site. The state of Florida is a prime location for those looking to get some relaxation, water activities such as surfing, and biking in on the coast. All of these opportunities do provide ways in which the need for an emergency dentist in Pinellas Park FL can sneak up on you quickly: broken and cracked teeth, the need for an extraction, or root canal therapy can quickly rear its head on you when you are surfing or jogging, and the quick trauma can be a bit of a surprise. Patients nationwide have told us that when they have visited other portals looking for help, sometimes they were just guided to portals who would only give them the phone numbers of clinics that were still closed for the weekend. We can help you find the right professional quickly, so you or your family members don't have to suffer all week.
Pinellas Park is a city that is over a century old, and is located in the most densely populated county in Florida. This is a very urban area, and on Park Boulevard there are a variety of stalls that offer produce, and artists selling their wares. This city was actually founded by Philadelphia publishing giant F.A. Davis, who originally purchased 12,000 acres of land during 1911. Many brochures lured those from up north in Pennsylvania, citing the much warmer weather and formidable land to grow produce. The city was officially incorporated in 1914, and the growth here more than tripled after World War II. This community is very well-known in the Tampa Bay area for a series of community events that take place every year in a bandshell behind City Hall, and "Country in the Park" is a crowd-pleasing favorite. One of the most touching Korean War memorials is located here as well, in Freedom Lake Park. Some of the top employers here are Raymond James Financial, Transamerica Financial, FIS, Valpak, and Orbital ATK.

The experienced dentists that are there to staff our Saturday dentist in Pinellas Park FL clinics are always letting us know which emergencies they run into the most commonly. An abscess is a very serious infection in the tooth, that occurs when the root gets infected, and they almost always get worse with time. If you see a pimple-like swelling on your gum and are losing much sleep due to pain, you need to see the dentist right away. Many people try to remedy this problem with natural remedies, and these may work for awhile to take the pain away. But ultimately, you may need an extraction or antibiotics for infection, and this is what the dentist can administer for you.

Dundee United midfielder Ian Harkes wants to increase the pressure on Ross County by coming out victorious in tonight's top of the Championship clash in Dingwall.
The American also knows the heat is on the Tangerines because last week's home defeat against Queen of the South means only a perfect record in the final five games will maintain their chances of automatic promotion.
United would have been top for a few days had they beaten Queens but that surprise loss and County's midweek win over Inverness Caley Thistle in the Highland derby means they now trail the leaders by five points.
And, if that gap isn't cut back down to two points this evening, Harkes knows their chances of overtaking them will be wafer thin at best.
"I think this is a must-win. We were talking about it and every game from now in has to be that way for us," he said.
Despite Saturday's setback, he believes wins over the Staggies the last two times the pair have met means United can head north feeling they will get the job done.
Equally, he appreciates only a strong performance will bring three points back down the A9.
"We want to go there with confidence. It is going to be tough being away from home but we have dealt with them before.
"They are going to be a strong team as always but for us it's about trying to put pressure on them. We know what to expect from them and I think they know what we are all about. We are going to prepare properly and look to go after them in the game.
And while he doesn't hide his frustration over United letting slip that chance to top the division, he's stressing the need to look ahead.
"There is a bit of that because we could have moved to the top of the table last weekend if we hadn't lost to Queen of the South.
With County facing an extra game, against Dunfermline next week, even the run of wins they've targeted may not be enough for United to catch them.
That would mean another trip to the play-offs but for Harkes that only makes it just as important he and his team-mates are playing well.
"If we are not winning the league we want to be on a good run of form and solidify second position.
"As everyone knows, it's tough to get through those play-offs but if we are in them it's going to be good if we are looking at four games instead of six.
"As a group we are very strong and we can get through them, if necessary. We added so many players in January and I think that has helped the roster and made us even stronger.
Harkes, who was one of those who arrived just after the turn of the year, and three months into his time on this side of the Atlantic, feels he is settling in well.
"I am enjoying the new challenge and enjoying Scotland, it's been fun.
"I'm enjoying the area and the club has been great to me. I think I've added a little bit to help them out.

Constantine helps fill a void created by the decommitment of quarterback Micah Wilson, who also committed to Missouri, on Thursday.
The Camino League Player of the Year, Constantine put up big numbers his senior year, completing 72.2 percent of his passes for 3,988 yards with 51 touchdowns to six interceptions, adding 321 rushing yards. He did not have any other offers, according to the major recruiting websites.
Note: Boise State is believed to have one more commitment who hasn't publicly announced his decision.


Can be found throughout the marshlands that comprise most of southeastern Lemoyne, notably including Bluewater Marsh, Lagras and southwest of Saint Denis (Crawdad Willies). These reptiles are noticeably larger than their smaller counterparts.
Can be found throughout the marshlands that comprise most of southeastern Lemoyne, notably including Bluewater Marsh, Lagras and southwest of Saint Denis (Crawdad Willies). These diminutive reptiles appear mixed with their larger fellows. The primary way to determine them is simply noting their size. These small gators can be as small as half the size of normal gators.
Hydrophilic mammals, you can find them near sources of water. Search for them near the Dakota River, Hawk Eye Creek, the Little Creek River, the Elysian Pool, Owanjila, Donner Falls, the Kamassa River and the marshes southwest of Saint Denis (Crawdad Willies area).
These flying rodents can be found throughout Lemoyne and along the eastern reaches of New Hanover. While sighted along the coast near the Van Horn Trading Post, we've had better luck regularly finding them along the Lannahechee River, southwest of Saint Denis. More specifically, along the coast between the Shady Belle and Catfish Jacksons areas. They tend to only be active at night, but can be found during the dawn and dusk, as well.
You can find one of these brutes in an abandoned cabin in the Vetter's Echo area (just north of Big Valley in the West Elizabeth region). Otherwise they can be found in the West Elizabeth region, northwest of Wallace Station. The bear icon on the map gives this one away.
These elusive creatures can, according to the in-game compendium, be found along the Roanoke Valley section of the Kamassa River. We had more luck hunting them along the western end of Owanjila, in West Elizabeth. They can also be found along the Kamassa River, west of the Van Horn Trading Post in the Huron Glen area (this is where the legendary beaver can be found, as well). Just be wary not to shoot them in the water, as it's easy to lose the body before you can skin it.
One of this game's many tweeters - any of an assortment of small birds that are interchangeable for gameplay purposes. They're incredibly flighty (pun intended) so you'll likely need to use binoculars to study them, and perhaps just to spot them. As a general rule, when you're hunting and you see birds flying overhead, take aim at them and try to shoot some down.
Tracking down specific tweeters is tedious, given their sheer variety. Still, your best bet for this seems to be sticking to sources of water, especially shallow, wide sections of rivers where you can spy on animals on either bank from a centralized location. Tweeters can be commonly found perched on rocks near riverbanks. We had good luck hunting these birds along the Dakota River, at a bend in the river north of the Painted Sky area.
Another good spot to hunt for small birds like this is Fort Brennand, which is located north of the Bluewater Marsh, in a bend on the Kamassa River. Enter the interior of the fort, be patient, and look to the skies, as you can find a variety of birds flying around overhead.
Can be found along the eastern reaches of New Hanover (near the Van Horn Trading Post, along the central span of the Kamassa River) and throughout Lemoyne. They're also common in the forests of West Elizabeth, especially along the Black Bone Forest area.
Ubiquitous throughout New Hanover, these common animals have an overlapping range with American Pronghorns.
Surprisingly elusive, this large beast can be found in New Hanover, along the southwestern edge of the The Heartlands area, just southeast of Horseshoe Overlook. Larger numbers of them graze west of the Heartland Overflow area, which itself is northwest of Emerald Station.
You'll hunt one of these as part of a hunting activity with Charles, which can be done after completing the quest The First Shall be Last.
Bulls, like cows, are domesticated animals, and hence will regularly be found on farms and ranches. Unlike cows, however, bulls are more varied and also less common, with there usually only being one per pen.
Fortunately, there's an easy way to locate all the bull varieties in the game. North of Saint Denis you'll find a ranch where you can find a bull penned with numerous cows. Study the bull, save your game, exit to the main menu, then reload and return to the pen. This should respawn the bull… or rather, respawn a bull, as exiting to the main menu in this way will reshuffle the animal variants from a pool of possible spawns. In this case, all possible varieties of bull should spawn here, with enough saving, exiting, and loading. Just be sure to save after studying a new bull species to keep your progress.

There's no room in the modern workplace for bullying and intimidating work colleagues.
Companies should have anti bullying practices in place and in most countries around the world there are laws to protect people who are being bullied.
The Oxford dictionary defines bullying as seeking to "harm, intimidate, or coerce someone perceived as vulnerable" but in some situations it's difficult to decide whether or not an activity is actually bullying.
Over in Australia a worker claimed that he was bullied by a colleague who repeatedly broke wind at him.
David Hingst claimed that his ex-colleague Greg Short would "lift his bum and fart" on him up to 6 times a day.
Mr Hingst didn't take this well and sued his former employer for A$1.8m (nearly £1m).
Now, let's pause here for a moment and hold our breath.
Bullying in the workplace is clearly wrong but claiming damages of nearly £1 million when somebody breaks wind in front of you does seem a bit steep.
Mr Hingst was adamant though and last year took his case to the Supreme Court of Victoria.
The Court found that there was no bullying.
Mr Hingst didn't agree with the decision and appealed against it and last week the appeal was heard by the Court of Appeal.
Mr Hingst reportedly told the Australian Associated Press that "I would be sitting with my face to the wall and he would come into the room, which was small and had no windows. He would fart behind me and walk away. He would do this five or six times a day".
Mr Short, the alleged perpetrator of this "crime" had said that he may "have done it once or twice" but denied doing it with the intention of distressing or harassing Mr Hingst.
Alas for Mr Hingst, the Court of Appeal rejected his appeal and found there was no bullying.
Mr Hingst though isn't taking this sitting down and reportedly has said that he plans to appeal to the High Court.

The past few days Seabass has been good, most people caught their limits plus 8-10 Ling plus some Flounder and Cod.
Constant pull of Sea Bass on the Blue Chip Special Half Day Charter! Limit catch with a couple of Cod as a bonus.
May 24 Association Report The long awaited Memorial Day weekend is arriving in Beach Haven, and the captains of the Beach Haven Charter fishing Association are welcoming it with open arms. The black sea bass season has been in full swing for a couple of weeks now, and the inshore reefs and wrecks have been giving up decent catches of sea bass along with some cod and hake.
We picked away decent at times with the Sea Bass. A few Pollack and Cod in the mix as well. Today was our last Sea Bass trip until October arrives.
We caught 77 keeper Sea Bass in a hour and fifteen minutes for our eight man limit. The guys also had a few Ling, a Cod, porgy and a Bluefish.
Fishing has been slow still with improvements catching Ling and a few Cod.

Time to bust out the red balloons.
Fans got their first official look at the adult members of the Losers' Club on Monday, via a photo of the stars of "It: Chapter Two" gathering for a table read. The movie is a sequel to the 2017 film adaptation of Stephen King's It, which made more than $700 million worldwide and became the highest-grossing horror film of all time.
The movie's official Twitter account posted a photo the grown-up Losers, who will be played by Jessica Chastain (as Beverly Marsh), James McAvoy (Bill Denbrough), Isaiah Mustafa (Mike Hanlon), Jay Ryan (Ben Hanscom), James Ransone (Eddie Kaspbrak), Bill Hader (Richie Tozier) and Andy Bean (Stanley Uris).
A few days earlier, Chastain treated her Instagram followers to a doctored photo showing her face melding with that of Sophia Lillis, who played Beverly in the 2017 film.
McAvoy also posted a few snapshots of himself and other cast members.
The first film, which is based on King's best-selling 1986 horror novel, starred Lillis, Finn Wolfhard (as Richie), Jaeden Lieberher (Bill), Jack Dylan Grazer (Eddie), Jeremy Wray Taylor (Ben), Chosen Jacobs (Mike) and Wyatt Oleff (Stanley). The child actors will appear in the sequel as well, according to its IMDb page.
Bill Skarsgård will also reprise his chilling portrayal of Pennywise the clown, who returns after 27 years to terrify the town of Derry, Maine ― and the Losers.
"It: Chapter Two," directed by Andy Muschietti, is set to hit theaters on Sept. 6, 2019.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misspelled James Ransone's surname.


Dubai: Ahmed Amjad Ali, a career diplomat, has been appointed as the new Pakistani Consul General in Dubai.
He will take charge of office in the first week of February, a senior diplomat told Gulf News on Tuesday.
Ali will replace Syed Javed Hassan, who completed his term in December last year. Javed who is a retired Brigadier, was a political appointee of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Ali was appointed by Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in November last year as part of the government's plan to do away with the political appointments in London, Washington, Riyadh, Dubai and other countries. Instead, he appointed career diplomats to these posts.
A senior official at the consulate said the government is very keen to have a career diplomat to lead the Dubai mission. "Ahmed Amjad Ali is a talented officer and has done very well in Bradford," he said.
More than 1.6million Pakistani expatriates live in the UAE and they are a major source of foreign remittances, which increased to $4.3 billion during fiscal year 2017-18.

Q: How to retrieve data from string in php? i have an array like this one : Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,. Now i would like to have each day separately and for each one i need need to add a checkbox near it .Thank you for help.

A: You need to store the days as an array to be able to loop through them with a foreach loop.
<?php
$days = array(
    'Monday',
    'Tuesday',
    'Wednesday',
    'Thursday',
    'Friday',
    'Saturday',
    'Sunday'
);

foreach($days as $day) {
    echo $day;
    echo '<input type="checkbox">';
}
?>

Update:
As you have stored your days as a string, you will need to explode the string to convert this to an array so that you can loop through them.
<?php
$days = "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday";
$days = explode(", ", $days);

foreach($days as $day) {
    echo $day;
    echo '<input type="checkbox">';
}
?>

A: You can try this.
<form action="" method="post">
<?php
    $days=array("Sunday", "Monday", ... );
    foreach($days as $day){
        echo '<input type="checkbox" name="day" value="'.$day.'">'.$day.'<br>';
    }
?>
</form>

Five members of the Rapid Support Forces militia have died as a result of internal clashed withing the main government militia.
Clashes that broke out between RSF members at Domaya base on Saturday that resulted in killing of four, including an officer.
Abdallah Khayora was wounded and transferred to Nyala Hospital where allegedly, a fellow RSF member assigned to guard him shot him dead on Wednesday morning.
Residents in Nyala described the situation as very tense following the elimination of the wounded militiaman inside the hospital.
According to witnesses in Nyala, the authorities have raised their preparations and deployed a joint force in the strategic sites, the entrances and on the roads of the city as a pre-emptive step in anticipation of any developments.

Zebra and quagga mussels are not in Alberta yet, but the threat continues to grow.
Keeping invasive mussels out of Alberta is critical, says Janine Higgins of Alberta Environment and Parks.

"This is becoming a huge issue in our world — the more we travel and carry things around — whether we know it or not," said Janine Higgins, community engagement lead with Alberta Environment and Parks.
The two invasive species, originally from Russia, made their way into the Great Lakes in the 1980s in the ballast water and bilges of cargo ships. They've since spread across the continent, with zebra mussels confirmed in Lake Winnipeg in 2013.
"That was a really big heads-up to us, now that we know they can survive in Canada," said Higgins.
Since then, Alberta has bolstered its invasive species program.
People can stop the spread of aquatic invasive species — including mussels and whirling disease (a microscopic parasite that infects trout, whitefish, and other species) — by cleaning, draining and drying their boats. Removing drain plugs is critical.
The threat of invasive mussels draws ever closer to Alberta
Authorities up efforts in the battle to keep out invasive mussels
Western Canada unites in fight against invasive species
"If you are transporting a boat, you need to actually remove the drain plug while you are transporting it," Higgins said at a recent West County Ag Tour. "It is now a law and we have that law so you don't end up moving any water around."
Zebra and quagga mussels can survive attached to a boat for up to a month.
"So if you can imagine how far people are driving their boats in a month, these zebra and quagga mussels are surviving. Then, when people launch their boats back into the water, we have an infestation."
The larval form, called a veliger, can't be seen with the naked eye and the mussels have no natural predators in Alberta. While zebra and quagga mussels have not been found in B.C. and Alberta yet, they have been detected in Montana, about 45 kilometres from the border.
"It is very close to us, which raised the flag for us," said Higgins. "We need to keep working to keep these species out."
People can help prevent the invasion of the mussels by making sure they don't move any water, plants, or mud, and by going through boat inspection stations. Anyone whose boat leaves the province, or who takes their boat into a provincial park, may have to go through a boat inspection. This includes a boat check, questioning, and a search for mussels.
Inspection stations have been set up around the borders of the province, and 12 boats have been found with mussels attached to them this year.
The mussels hide in dark, damp places in the boat. In a recent case, mussels were found hiding in areas where screws attach onto the boat. Alberta inspectors also have a team of three sniffer dogs that are trained to find mussels. In addition, Alberta Environment and Parks has tested more than 100 water bodies in search for the mussels and has been working closely with the irrigation districts.
The mussels are prolific — one female can lay a million eggs in a year.
"If these mussels were to get in all of our irrigation pipes that we use for watering our crops, for watering our cattle, everything like that, we're estimating that it would cost us $75 million annually in losses from revenue, in maintenance, in boat loss — all that sort of stuff," said Higgins.
At boat inspection stations, inspectors collect standing water inside boats and send samples to labs to look for veligers. Any boat with standing water is washed immediately. If the boat is really dirty or looks as though it contains mussels, it will be quarantined for 30 days — the length of time it takes for the mussels to die.
It is mandatory to stop at inspection stations when they are open, but some people are still skipping them. Anyone caught bypassing a station faces a fine as high as $100,000 or up to one year in jail.

Q: Autocorrelation Heuristics for a Tuner I've implemented a simple autocorrelation routine against some audio samples at a rate of 44100.0 with a block size of 2048.
The general formula I am following looks like this:
r[k] = a[k] * b[k] = ∑ a[n] • b[n + k]

and I've implemented it in a brute-force nested loop as follows:
for k = 0 to N-1 do
    for n = 0 to N-1 do
        if (n+k) < N
            then r[k] := r[k] + a(n)a(n+k)
    else
        break;
    end for n;
end for k;

I look for the max magnitude in r and determine how many samples away it is and calculate the frequency.
To help temper the tuner's results, I am using a circular buffer and returning the median each time.
The brute force calculations are a bit slow - is there a well-known, faster way to do them?
Sometimes, the tuner just isn't quite as accurate as is needed. What type of heuristics can I apply here to help refine the results?
Sometimes the OCTAVE is incorrect - is there a way to hone in on the correct octave a bit more accurately?

A: The efficient way to do autocorrelation is with an FFT:

*

*FFT the time domain signal

*convert complex FFT output to magnitude and zero phase (i.e. power spectrum)

*take inverse FFT

This works because autocorrelation in the time domain is equivalent to power spectrum in the frequency domain.
Having said that, bare bones autocorrelation is not a great way to implement (accurate) pitch detection in general, so you might want to have a rethink about your whole approach.

A: I don't fully understand the question, but I can point out one trick that you might be able to use.  You say you look for the sample that is the max magnitude.  If it is useful in the rest of your calculations, you can calculate that sample number to sub-sample precision.
Let's say you have a peak of 0.9 at sample 5 and neighboring samples of 0.1 and 0.8.  The actual peak is probably somewhere between sample 5 and sample 6.
(0.1 * 4 + 0.9 * 5 + 0.8 * 6) / (0.1 + 0.9 + 0.8) = 5.39

A: One simple way to improve this "brute force" autocorrelation method is to limit the range of k and only search for lags (or pitch periods) near the previous average period, say within +-0.5 semitones at first.  If you don't find a correlation, then search a slightly wider range, say, a within a major third, then search a wider range but within the expected frequency range of the instrument being tuned.
You can get higher frequency resolution by using a higher sample rate (say, upsampling the data before the autocorrelation if necessary, and with proper filtering).
You will get autocorrelation peaks for the pitch lag (period) and for multiples of that lag.  You will have to eliminate those subharmonics somehow (maybe as impossible for the instrument, or perhaps as an unlikely pitch jump from the previous frequency estimations.)
