Q: How to mock or callFake a basic javascript function? I've two functions funcA() and funcB(), I'm writing unit test cases for $scope.funcA().
Below is the the definition:
function funcB(){
//statements
 console.log("At function B");
};

$scope.funcA() = function(){
funcB();
console.log("At function A");
};

Right now while I'm testing my $scope.funcA() is actually calling my funcB(). How to stop this and make a fake call or mock to funcB(); in Jasmine.

A: you can use spyOn() and andCallFake() to achieve it.
see one of my earlier answer here .
Does Jasmine's spyOn() allow the spied on function to be executed?
hope this helps.
EDIT
for newer versions of jasmine, the snytax would be
spyOn($scope, 'funcB').and.callFake(function() {
      return 'something';
});

Preview of the 43rd Telluride Film Festival
by Meredith Brody
September 2, 2016 |
On my first trip to Telluride, maybe ten years ago, I found myself in a hotel room with several people, none of whom I knew, all frantically perusing the just-released catalogue—more of a booklet, really, about 50 pages, slimline, easy to tuck into a coat pocket—and exclaiming in mingled delight and pain.
The delight was because of the many, many tempting titles. The pain was because of the realities of scheduling and time: one can't see everything.
I had a beautiful realization: I was among MY PEOPLE.
Over the years, I've learned to start out by choosing the one-shots: I must see the silent film with live musical accompaniment, presented by the Pordenone Silent Film Festival. This year it's E. A. Dupont's 1925 film "Variety," with music by the witty Alloy Orchestra (a name familiar to fans of Ebertfest). I saw this new DCP restoration (courtesy of Murnau Stiftung) at Il Cinema Ritrovato in 2015, but with its recorded score—and I've been wanting to see it again ever since.
Another one-time-only event is the premiere of the new DCP restorations, by Janus Films, of Marcel Pagnol's famed Marseilles trilogy, "Marius" (1931), "Fanny" (1932), and "César" (1936). An added enticement will be the Frenchy snacks served in between the films, inspired by Alice Waters, whose famed Chez Panisse restaurant was named for a character in the films. (Last year's similar marathon screening, of Fritz Lang's "Die Nibelungen," with free bratwurst and beer served during the intermission, was, as I told Telluride Director Tom Luddy afterwards, not only my peak experience at the Show, but my peak filmgoing experience of the year.)
It would be difficult to miss a screening of the documentary directed by Benoit Jacquot, Pascal Mérigeau and Guy Seligman, "Gentleman Rissient," about the extraordinary film guru Pierre Rissient. It will be shown in the Telluride theater named for him, the Pierre, with Rissient in attendance. I declined the honor of appearing in a previous documentary about Pierre—a mentor since I was in my teens—Todd McCarthy's 2007 film "Pierre Rissient: Man of Cinema," because I was then making my living as a restaurant critic. And in those dear dead early-internet days, showing your face in media was frowned upon. I've been kicking myself ever since.
I also do a quick perusal of the lineup to see what's also playing in Toronto, where I'm headed right after Telluride, to assuage that "you can't see everything HERE" feeling. Telluride exclusives include (in the order they appear in the program booklet): "Lost in Paris," "The End of Eden," "Sully," Bertrand Tavernier's wonderful "My Journey through French Cinema" (at 192 minutes, the longest movie in the Show), "Men: A Love Story," "Through the Wall," "Gentleman Rissient," "Finding Oscar," "California Typewriter," "Bright Lights," "A Fanatic Heart – Bob Geldof on WB Yeats," "Jerry Lewis: The Man Behind the Clown," "Bernadette Lafont, and God Created the Free Woman," "Cool Cats," "The Family Whistle" and "Gulag" (at 190 minutes, the SECOND longest movie in the festival!).
However, I've been dying to see Maren Ade's "Toni Erdmann" since it was a surprise hit at Cannes in May. Why not see it here, with Ade onstage for a Q&A, instead of at an anticlimactic press screening in Toronto?
And I've also been longing to see Kenneth Lonergan's "Manchester by the Sea" for even longer—since its debut at Sundance way back in January. Here it will be part of a tribute to Casey Affleck, to be awarded Telluride's Silver Medallion, as part of a presentation that includes a clip show (I do love clip shows) and an onstage interview.
A few days ago I cursed the fates that showed me an entirely-too-explicit trailer of "Arrival" by Denis Villeneuve (I do hate spoiler-filled trailers). But today I hail the fate that offers me Amy Adams on the combo platter, "Arrival" plus another Silver Medallion, clip show, and onstage interview.
The same skein of trailers (shown with "Hell or High Water") included "Sully," which I might not have rushed to see in normal life (despite being a fan of Eastwood, both as an actor and director). But Eastwood will be in attendance, making his first trip to Telluride as a director since 1990's "White Hunter, Black Heart" (he returned in 1998 to appear at a Meryl Streep tribute), and Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, friend-of-Telluride Laura Linney (who met her husband Marc Schauer at the festival in 2004) and Pierre Rissient, Eastwood's longtime French producer's rep. Telluride just might be the best place to experience it.
The third Silver Medallion is being awarded to director Pablo Larraín. He's here with his new "Neruda," about the Chilean politician/poet, starring Gael García Bernal, who is making another of his frequent appearances at Telluride (most recently in 2014 with "Rosewater").
Another friend-of-Telluride is the mellifluous Werner Herzog. He'll be premiering his documentary "Into the Inferno," in which he visits volcanoes all over the world with co-director Clive Oppenheimer and paleontologist Tim Miller. It will be shown in the exquisite theater named for him, the Herzog, one of the most beautiful movie theaters I've ever been in, with flawless projection and sound.
Fellow documentarian and friend-of-Telluride Errol Morris is also premiering his latest here, "The B-Side: Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography," about the large-format specialist.
Barry Jenkins, a longtime Telluride curator, is premiering his long-awaited second feature, "Moonlight." I loved his charming 2008 debut, "Medicine for Melancholy," which was not shown in Telluride. "Moonlight" will be shown with most of the cast in tow, sure to be an emotional experience for all concerned.
I've heard ecstatic things about Robin Swicord's "Wakefield," starring Bryan Cranston and Jennifer Garner. It's based on an E.L. Doctorow short story about a man in midlife crisis (not necessarily my favorite subject), and will be making its world premiere here.
And I could actually be happy sitting all day long in the Backlot theater (at 50 seats, the smallest Telluride venue), which will be showing an eclectic lineup of documentaries. This includes two I've seen and loved, María José Cuevas' "Beauties of the Night," a look at the women who were Mexico's beloved showgirls, stars of '70s and '80s sex comedies, as they are today; and "Bernadette Lafont, and God Created the Free Woman," about the irrepressible French New Wave star who died in 2013. But I'd also love to see "Cool Cats," about jazzbos Ben Webster and Dexter Gordon (who starred for Bertrand Tavernier in "Round Midnight"), "The Family Whistle" (about the Coppola clan) and "Mifune: The Last Samurai," among many others.
And, although I often breathe a sigh of relief when I see a movie programmed that I've already seen, such as several in the selections by this year's Guest Director, the delightful and ebullient Volker Schlöndorff—how can I not see "Spies" again, the Fritz Lang 1928 silent, especially with live piano accompaniment by the delightful and ebullient Donald Sosin? Or Jean-Pierre Melville's rarely programmed "Les Enfants Terribles"? Two of Schlöndorff's choices are new to me: an East German film from 1968, "I Was Nineteen," and a USSR film from 1970 on the same subject (the Red Army's invasion of Germany), "It Was the Month of May," appealing to the eternal film student in me.
And it's now time for me to try and figure out what I really have time to see. Like my colleagues from a decade ago, I'll be tearing my hair out. But I know that there's probably a movie hiding in the program that will make the remaining hairs on my head stand up. Even a paradise for cinephiles can be a little hellish.

B&B Ireland launch walkers website
by Blog | Jun 27, 2012 | Hiking, Tourism, Travel, Walking | 0 comments
Visitors coming to Ireland for walking breaks stay longer, and have greater spending power, so they are vital to the tourism economy. That's according to B& B Ireland, who have launched a new website to cater specifically for walkers and hikers: http://walking.bandbireland.com
"The latest statistics show that on average visitors who choose walking or hiking as their top activity stay over 17 days – which is significantly longer than the average holiday maker stays," says B&B Ireland chief executive Helena Healy.
"Walkers choose B&B accommodation over hostels, hotels, camping or caravan accommodation. B&Bs make an ideal base for walking breaks because so many are located in rural areas. This is why it is important to attract walkers and hikers to Ireland not just for us and our members but for the benefit of the wider rural and regional economies."
"At B&B Ireland, we believe there is a huge potential to develop Ireland even further as a destination for walking and hiking breaks. Satisfaction ratings with walking/hiking holidays in Ireland are incredibly high at 91%, with 84% also being happy with the cost."
www.walking.bandbireland.com has details of Ireland's top walks, reviews from walking and hiking enthusiasts, a blog and a list of specialist Walking B&Bs. "We are also rolling out an online marketing campaign to promote the site – particularly to France, Germany, Britain and the US, where most of the walkers come from," says Helena.
B&B Ireland is working with its members and with Fáilte Ireland to develop specialist walking packages and breaks. "We make packed lunches for walkers to take with them, and provide a drying room for wet or muddy clothers when they get back," says Mary Ita Boyle of "Avalon" B&B, outside Glenties, in Co Donegal. "We have the local knowledge they need to find the best local walks, and we are right on the route of the Blue Stacks Walk."
Margaret & Hugh Coogan own and run the 4* Kyle Farmhouse outside Tinahely, a 19th Century 4th generation farmhouse offering with all modern comforts, on the slopes of the Wicklow Mountains – an ideal location for keen walkers. The Wicklow Way passes their door and for experienced walkers, the Wicklow Loop can be started from their farm also.
Kilcatten Lodge is a 4* B&B outside Timoleague in West Cork, ideal for taking your choice of walks on the Seven Heads Peninsula. Kenmare House in neighbouring Kerry – also 4* – offer an impressive range of walks e.g. the Stone Circle, Gleninchaquin Park, Blackwater River Walk, Bonane Heritage Park, Killarney National Park or the Gap of Dunloe.

Woman Drives for 900 Miles Instead of 90 Thanks to GPS Error (and Total Stupidity)
Jesus Diaz
I've read plenty of crazy GPS stories, but this has to be the craziest of them all: a 67-year-old woman drove for 900 miles over the course of two days because of a GPS error combined with her complete lack of attention. Her actual destination was only 90 miles away.
The woman, 67-year-old Sabine Moreau, started her journey in her home town of Hainault Erquelinnes, Belgium. She wanted to pick up a friend at a train station in Brussels, just 93 miles north from her point of origin. But instead, she turned on her GPS, which told her to drive south, taking her turn by turn all the way down to Zagreb, in Croatia. Instead of a couple hours in the car, she spent a couple days to cover the 900 miles that separates both points in Europe.
During Sabine's odyssey, she stopped two times to get gas, slept for a few hours on the side of the road, and even suffered a minor car accident. How the hell did this happen without her noticiting? She knows it sounds weird, but she was distracted, she said:
I was distracted, so I kept driving. I saw all kinds of traffic signs, first in French, then German and finally in Croatian, but I kept driving because I was distracted. Suddenly I appeared in Zagreb and I realized I wasn't in Belgium anymore.
Yes, Dorothy, you weren't in Belgium anymore. But as hilarious and zany this may seem, her son wasn't very amused. After a day, he alerted the police, who started a fruitless search. Obviously, not everything is right in Sabine's head or her GPS. [El Mundo—In Spanish]

5 Star Review on Readers'Favorite
Love on a High Wire, published by BWL Publishing, Inc. http://bwlpublishing.ca/
Reviewed by Rosie Malezer for Readers' Favorite
Love on a High Wire is a romance novella written by Sydell Voeller. Seventeen-year-old Marcie Reynolds is a Veterinary Assistant living in Lahoma, Washington. After accompanying veterinarian Dr Hanslowe to the local circus where a performing horse, Bombay, has been injured, Marcie notices a very handsome teenager, Ivan Sebarian, in attendance, helping his father to stem the flow of blood until help arrived. After patching up the injured horse, Marcie looks around and notices that Ivan had gone. At the news that a blaze had broken out at the circus, Marcie returns and sees three horses fleeing in a panic. Both Ivan and Marcie catch and return the horses to safety, resulting in her mother's scorn at her being late home and hanging around with circus types. Not happy with Marcie's dreams of working with animals, her mother constantly tries to bully her into applying to the same music school as her sister, Jan, which Marcie refuses to do. Before the circus is due to leave town, Marcie and Ivan go on a date, where he agrees to escort her to the school dance. Little does Marcie know that the school dance is about to change her life forever.
As a former Veterinary Technician, I was impressed by the detail given by Sydell Voeller when writing about the various different types of surgeries and emergencies which took place, both at the clinic and in the field. The instant attraction between Ivan and Marcie was clearly evident, and their love of animals was a bonding magnetic force between them. Marcie's mother's constant parental pressure, trying to force her daughter into an unwanted career, steering Marcie away from her dreams while stereotyping people who work in the circus, was rather frustrating. Almost all of the characters in Love on a High Wire were fascinating and likeable. I was able to see the story through Marcie's eyes and the unexpected ending left me with a smile. Love on a High Wire not only teaches you to follow your life's dreams, but also to follow your heart. I recommend this book to young adults as well as those who are young at heart.

U.S. Sen. Tina Smith: "The Urgency of Passing a Strong Farm Bill is Very Clear"
Senator Urges Leaders of House and Senate Agriculture Committees to Finalize New Farm Bill for Farmers, Ranchers, Rural Communities, and Tribes
WASHINGTON, D.C. [10/24/18]—This week, U.S. Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn.), a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, told top House-Senate Farm Bill negotiators that producers in Minnesota and across the country are hurting from low farm prices and trade uncertainties, and highlighted the need to pass the Farm Bill by the end of the year.
Sen. Smith said the Farm bill will provide certainty for producers, and will give them the tools to deal with low prices and jump-start the farm economy in Minnesota and our nation. In a letter sent yesterday to Chairman Sen. Pat Roberts, Ranking Member Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Chairman Rep. Mike Conaway, and Ranking Member Rep. Collin Peterson of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees, Sen. Smith followed up on an earlier call reaffirming the urgent need to pass a strong, bipartisan Farm Bill.
"In my earlier letter, I outlined the importance of several provisions that were included in the Senate-passed Farm Bill. These key provisions—funding for broadband expansion, a robust energy title, conservation programs, and investments in beginning and Native farmers and ranchers—are critical for the success of Minnesota's agriculture sector and are necessary components of a strong Farm Bill," wrote Senator Smith. "These provisions were accepted in the Senate bill, which passed with an overwhelming bipartisan majority of 86-11. I urge the conferees to follow the Senate's lead and work on a bipartisan basis to craft a final conference report.
"Producers and rural communities in Minnesota depend on many Farm Bill programs. As farmers face falling commodity prices and uncertain trade markets, the urgency of passing a strong Farm Bill is very clear.
"I thank you for the work you have done thus far and look forward to the passage of a Farm Bill as soon as possible. Farmers and producers around the country deserve the certainty it will provide."
Sen. Smith also recently outlined several bipartisan steps the Administration and top farm and trade officials can take to help farmers, including allowing the sale of gasoline blended with 15 percent ethanol to be sold year-round. This month, the Administration announced that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will begin the process of allowing such sales.
Sen. Smith fought for and won a spot on the Agriculture Committee when she arrived in the Senate in January. In preparation for the Farm Bill debate, she formed her "Farm Bill Working Group" to hear from farmers, ranchers, and rural community leaders—as well as experts on nutrition, energy, and conservation—to make sure Minnesota priorities are included in the legislation. She and her staff have traveled across Minnesota to hear from Minnesotans on the state's Farm Bill priorities.
Sen. Smith authored and championed several measures in the Senate Farm Bill, including her legislative roadmap for the energy title of the Farm Bill, her provision to expand access to much-needed broadband in rural communities and tribal areas across the country, and a provision to create a U.S. Department of Agriculture "Rural Health Liaison" who will work with other federal health officials to address rural America's unique health care needs. The bill also funds Sen. Smith's efforts to help younger and non-traditional farmers get started in the business, and it responds to her call to preserve the Sugar Program which supports thousands of jobs across the Red River Valley in Northwest Minnesota.

Dear Chairs and Ranking Members,
I am writing to follow up on the letter I sent on September 5, 2018 regarding the urgent
need to pass a Farm Bill to provide certainty for farmers in Minnesota and across the nation. I
continue to hear from many agriculture producers in my state that the expiration of the 2014
Farm Bill last month has made it even more urgent that we finalize the new Farm Bill. On behalf
of farmers, ranchers, rural communities, and tribes, I write to reaffirm the importance of passing
a bipartisan Farm Bill before the end of the year.
In my earlier letter, I outlined the importance of several provisions that were included in
the Senate-passed Farm Bill. These key provisions—funding for broadband expansion, a robust
energy title, conservation programs, and investments in beginning and Native farmers and
ranchers—are critical for the success of Minnesota's agriculture sector and are necessary
components of a strong Farm Bill. These provisions were accepted in the Senate bill, which
passed with an overwhelming bipartisan majority of 86-11. I urge the conferees to follow the
Senate's lead and work on a bipartisan basis to craft a final conference report.
Producers and rural communities in Minnesota depend on many Farm Bill programs. As
farmers face falling commodity prices and uncertain trade markets, the urgency of passing a
strong Farm Bill is very clear.
I thank you for the work you have done thus far and look forward to the passage of a
Farm Bill as soon as possible. Farmers and producers around the country deserve the certainty it
will provide.

Texas wants gov't to declare DACA illegal, says Trump holds too much power over immigration laws
Madlin Mekelburg
Corpus Christi (Texas) Caller-Times
AUSTIN — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the federal government on Tuesday, looking to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The lawsuit asks the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas to declare DACA unlawful and bar the federal government from issuing permits through the program, which protects people brought to the country illegally as children from deportation.
Six other states joined Texas in its lawsuit: Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia.
"Texas has argued for years that the federal executive branch lacks the power to unilaterally grant unlawfully present aliens lawful presence and work authorization," Paxton said in a statement. "Left intact, DACA sets a dangerous precedent by giving the executive branch sweeping authority to ignore the laws enacted by Congress and change our nation's immigration laws to suit a president's own policy preferences."
Paxton threatened to sue the government early last year if the Trump administration did not take steps to end the program. President Donald Trump started to phase out DACA in September, but multiple federal court decisions have forced the government to allow some aspects of the program to continue.
In his 137-page lawsuit, Paxton argues that President Barack Obama did not have the authority to establish the program through an executive action in 2012, as he did.
"This lawsuit is emphatically about the rule of law," the lawsuit reads. "The policy merits of immigration laws are debated in and decided by Congress."
When Trump ended DACA in September, he prompted a flurry of lawsuits from supporters of the program looking to protect the more than 800,000 people who have received permits through the program since its inception.
Two federal courts, one in California and the other in New York, have since issued rulings stating that the federal government must allow DACA recipients to apply for renewal while legal challenges to the program play out in court. No new applications are being accepted.
Texas' lawsuit says that, although the court "has authority to immediately rescind and cancel all DACA permits currently in existence because they are unlawful," the states on the suit are only asking for the federal government to stop issuing new permits or renewing existing ones.
Under this proposal, the lawsuit says DACA would be phased out within two years.
Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa said Paxton's "cruel anti-immigration agenda" will put the state's economy in jeopardy, as nearly 125,000 people in Texas rely on DACA.
"The average age of DACA participants at the time they arrived in the U.S. is 6.5 years old, they should feel safe and accepted in the only country they know to be their home," he said in a statement. "Dreamers belong here and we'll never stop fighting for them to stay."
State Rep. Rafael Anchia, Chairman of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, said Texas officials should focus on promoting immigration reform instead of ending helpful programs.
"Instead of wasting taxpayer funds to pick on these Americans without status, the Attorney General should join the bipartisan chorus calling on Congress to fix a broken immigration system that denies these kids their rightful place at the American table," said Anchia, D-Dallas, in a statement.

Hiya peaches we're back at it again with another Absolute Bangers. This month has been a bit quiet in regards to gigs as my exams are now in full swing (*internally screaming*). I went to the Over 18s Cambridge Band Competition Final at the Junction at the end of April where the winners of the U18s Final and pals, Maverick, also competed. Lead singer Louis's mum gave me a copy of their latest EP, Uneasy Seasons, mainly so I can learn up the songs as I'm covering for their bassist at a couple of their gigs this summer. My personal fave band of the night aside from them had to be the winners Flint Moore from Downham Market.
Their debut EP Uneasy Seasons came out in January this year produced by R*E*P*E*A*T Records. Considering the fact that right now they're halfway through their GCSE exams, it's hard to believe just how talented they all are. But as their drummer James D'Alessandro says 'If you're good enough, you're old enough'. One of my favourite things about this band in their energetic stage presence that keeps the crowds wrapped round their fingers. The one track that always get stuck in my brain after one of their sets has to be Butterflies, with captivating lyrics by Louis Perritt and progressive guitar rhythms that maintain the drive of the song, its for sure one of my favourites. They're also going to be at Strawberry Fair this weekend at The Wigwam Stage at 2pm.
Based in Downham Market, I'm surprised I hadn't heard of Flint Moore before the band competition as they're close to home for me. As soon as their set at the Junction started, I knew for sure that they were going to win (I was also rooting for them as they have a female bassist). I think it's so cute that they have named all their EPs so far after tropical fruits (i.e.Kiwi, Lychee, Pitahaya). Their overall sound is very earthy and nostalgic (think the type of songs you make summer memories to) and reminds me of a more chilled out blend of Red Hot Chili Peppers/Walk Off The Earth. Their track Body and Soul from the Pitahaya EP released last year sounds like one of those old Mumford and Sons anthems minus the banjos.
I first saw these Essex boys when they headlined the Girls Against gig at The Portland Arms last month and managed to get a copy of their DIY EP. As I'm busy 'revising' I always find myself steering towards the album whenever I need some sick study tunes. The whole blend of the album reminds me of Superfood's Don't Say That, with the cleverly crafted instrumental breaks between songs that flow into the next. Runaway Baby has such a beautiful blend of transcending lyrics and lo-fi riffs, and is what I can only describe as 'what a Maccies Banana Milkshake would sound like'. My other fave singles from the EP that I'd recommend would have to be SPS and Crude.
I've wanted to see this artist for quite a while now, so when I found out GIRLI was the support for Declan Mckenna at The Junction I was over the moon. From a style perspective, her outfits are just as edgy and crazy as her music wearing head-to-toe pink on stage and on her day to day basis, taking inspiration from Japanese pop and 90's Spice Girls vibes. I wasn't really sure what to expect from one of her live sets, but after half an hour of tampon-throwing, fuckboy-bashing, bubblegum girl power madness, I was not disappointed. For her overall sound, think 'animated feminist gangster rap that's come straight out of a retro video game' but in a North London accent with lyrics that are as discomforting as they are catchy. So You Think is one of my faves as it's one of those songs that puts you in a badass mood and is my go to 'get sesh ready' track at the moment.
I stumbled across this track in the depths of Soundcloud, like many of my absolute bangers. Based in New York, Nick Hakim released his debut album Green Twins this month. Everything about the album from the artwork to the music videos and the songs themselves are a psychedelic dream and really gives soul a fresh taste. The track Roller Skates is super mellow and one to relax and fall asleep to (in a good way). I was so excited to discover that he's touring the UK in November this year, so I'll definitely be hitting that up.


For many, the term manufacturing still conjures up images of rusty smokestacks, dirty production floors and sweaty workers. However, like with most everything in the world, technology has changed how things are made, leading to a new name for the industry: advanced manufacturing.
The definition of advanced manufacturing varies, but in general, the industry includes companies that use process technologies and automation to produce products, including products that are innovative or technologically complex.
Today, the majority of new manufacturing investment in the U.S. can be considered "advanced" – as most rely on technology and automation to compete in a global economy where consumers demand better products faster.
As a result, site selection factors for advanced manufacturing operations are primarily focused on finding skilled workers capable of operating new equipment and finding communities that support "speed to market" through sites, infrastructure and business climate.
Despite a "new age" economy seemingly focused on technology and services, manufacturing remains more important than ever to the U.S. economy. According to National Association of Manufacturers1 (NAM), there are 12.3 million manufacturing jobs in the U.S., accounting for nine percent of the total workforce. Including an additional 18.5 million jobs that exist to support manufacturing operations, one in six private sector jobs are related to manufacturing.
The industry is not only vital to U.S. jobs and productivity, but also to addressing the long-term needs of the country related to infrastructure, energy and sustainability. Manufacturers produce materials needed to repair and expand roads and other infrastructure, machinery and equipment to power the world and renewable energy components like solar panels and wind turbines.
A vibrant manufacturing sector is also a catalyst for innovation and technology growth, creating new products designed to improve quality of life. As of 2012, the manufacturing industry is responsible for 68.9 percent of all R&D spending2 in the U.S., thus further justifying the term advanced manufacturing.
Global economics are contributing to the growth of the advanced manufacturing industry in the U.S. Rising wages in China, increased transportation costs and competitive energy prices in the U.S. have reduced the cost-benefit – and the appeal – of producing some goods in Asia. In addition, the threats of shipping delays and risks associated with intellectual property theft have directed advanced manufacturing investment to the U.S., a trend known as reshoring or nearshoring.
3) Companies that have, or can develop, automated production processes – such as fabricated metal products, plastics and rubber, among others.
Companies in all of these categories utilize advanced manufacturing in some, if not most, of their production processes.
The same economics apply to foreign direct investment (FDI): companies based outside the U.S. that invest in new production operations in the U.S. Many of these organizations had been importing their products as suppliers to U.S. original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), but the economics now justify locating production facilities closer to major customers.
The same trend holds for companies including Swiss industrial robotics supplier ABB Ltd., which designs and produces automated equipment and machinery for manufacturing plants in the U.S. In 2015, ABB announced a major investment in the Detroit region based on its proximity to the U.S. automotive industry.
Reshoring and FDI trends are largely made possible due to advances in technology and production processes that have become more automated (i.e., advanced), thus requiring fewer workers. While automated processes are replacing many manual, low-paying jobs, they are simultaneously creating a need for skilled employees to operate, maintain and retool equipment — jobs that are typically associated with higher wages, such as machinists and programmable logic controller (PLC) technicians.
This is where the skills gap comes into play. Simply stated, companies are struggling to find enough qualified workers. A recent study by NAM's Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte found that manufacturers will need to fill 3.5 million production jobs over the next decade. Two million of those jobs will likely go unfilled based on the changing needs for skills, retiring Baby Boomers and a shortage of young workers entering the field.
The U.S. skills gap is particularly threatening to small and medium-size operations, where production efficiency is critical. Chandler Systems Inc., a 35-person manufacturer of innovative water treatment products in Ashland, Ohio, that also works with a manufacturing supplier in China, is testament to this. "We would love to bring more jobs back to the U.S., but are concerned about the availability of individuals willing and able to perform the work we need," said Bill Chandler, III, marketing director, who also handles some of the company's hiring. Chandler Systems typically pays its entry-level workers $12-$14 per hour, well above the state minimum wage of $8.10.
Notably, many of these skilled jobs do not require a four-year college degree. A 2014 study4 by the Brookings Institute found that only half of all U.S. STEM jobs – those that require some knowledge of science, technology, engineering or math – demand a Bachelor's degree or higher. An Associate's degree in a specialized field such as computer aided design (CAD), a certification in a trade such as welding or maintenance, or sometimes just a high school diploma and an ability to learn on the job, can be ample preparation for these skilled positions. "One of the toughest skills to find are workers who are willing to learn and comprehend new things," said Chandler.
Customized workforce training has become an attractive way for states and communities to narrow the skills gap and lessen the burden of employee training costs for employers. Three states in the Southeast U.S. offer best-in-class workforce training programs. Georgia's Quick Start5, Louisiana's FastStart6 and South Carolina's readySC7 take a similar approach to customized training programs for employers. Each program bases its training curriculum on the specific skills and technical expertise required by employers in the state. Instructors often visit company facilities, including those overseas, to familiarize themselves with processes, while the companies may contribute equipment for classroom instruction. The training often takes place at a local community or technical college, onsite at the employer or in mobile training lab stations. Each program is centered on the idea of flexibility – whatever it takes to best meet the training needs of any company.
Several states have developed specialized workforce training facilities that instruct trainees on skills most desired by the advanced manufacturing industry. Students at the Alabama Robotics Technology Park8 receive training in automation and safety processes while practicing on $40 million automation and robotic technology equipment. Employers gain the benefit of no-cost training for employees and avoid sending workers to out-of-state facilities.
Speed to market is key for advanced manufacturers, including the time required to get a new production plant up and running. Project timelines that were once over two years have shrunk to 12-18 months from concept to completion – sometimes even shorter. A recent BLS & Co. client wishing to relocate from an outdated facility into a more efficient and automated one had a project timeline of nine months and was fortunate to find an existing, quality building that could accommodate its operation.
As the inventory for existing buildings has dwindled, Greenfield sites that are shovel ready have become very attractive for advanced manufacturing projects. A shovel ready (or ready to go) site has invested in industrial-grade road and utility infrastructure to the site. Excess utility service capacity must also be available to support new users with reliable and affordable energy – especially as it relates to electricity to power all that automated equipment.
A shovel ready site owner has also invested in environmental, civil engineering and legal due diligence to identify site issues that must be mitigated. Preferably, an independent audit has also been conducted by a third party with engineering and site selection expertise to ensure a quality site for development.
States such as Tennessee, Ohio and South Carolina currently offer such programs to evaluate sites for shovel ready status. These programs allow a prospective purchaser to shave months from the construction timeline, and save on site development and infrastructure costs.
Implementing business-friendly policies and regulations that consider cost and speed to market concerns of advanced manufacturers are essential to supporting the growth of the industry.
According to NAM, a manufacturer's compliance cost8 with government regulations is $20,000 annually per employee. That same cost rises to $35,000 each year per employee for small manufacturers. State and local governments that layer regulations that exceed federal standards increase these compliance costs and discourage new investment.
Regulatory reform, which lowers the costs of compliance for U.S. manufacturers while still achieving the intended regulatory outcome, would free up capital for manufactures to reinvest into new technologies, hire more workers and increase wages for employees. Reducing federal corporate tax burden would also improve the U.S. business climate and help level the playing field with foreign competitors.
At the state level, Indiana, Georgia and Colorado9 have worked to lower state income tax liability by adopting a single sales factor apportionment formula. The formula incentivizes companies to invest in future property and job growth, but doesn't penalize them with increased taxes related to property and payroll value.
With millions of dollars invested in equipment, advanced manufacturing projects tend to be more capital-intensive than job-intensive and, as a result, are not well-served by long-standing incentive programs that solely emphasize job creation.
Some states have begun to proactively address this disconnect via tax credit incentives equal to a percentage of qualified investment (including the value of leases). For example, North Dakota, which has seen a flurry of investment in oil and gas over the past few years, has developed an Automation Tax Credit10 that allows a company to claim a state income tax credit valued at 20 percent of the total purchase or lease cost of automated machinery and equipment. Indiana offers a similar tax credit called the Hoosier Business Investment (HBI) Tax Credit11equal to 10 percent of qualified capital investment.
Other capital investment incentives include free or discounted land and cash grants for site development and utility extensions. Personal property tax exemptions and abatements – as well as sales tax exemptions on manufacturing machinery and equipment, goods and utilities and construction materials – are extremely attractive to manufacturers focused on minimizing a project's upfront costs.
Finally, flexible incentive regulations that allow companies to perform business actions such as signing a lease or hiring new employees without forfeiting potential incentives can be just as important as the financial incentives themselves.
Advanced manufacturing is the definition of modern-day manufacturing in the U.S. and is vital to the economy and growth of the country. Looking ahead, new technologies, such as 3D printing or additive manufacturing, will continue to impact and transform the industry. Understanding and reacting to the industry's modern-day needs – especially related to skilled workforce and speed-to-market considerations - will support its growth for many decades to come.

Regional Reviews: Boston
The Seth Rudetsky Series: Jessie Mueller
Emerson Colonial Theatre
Review by Josh Garstka
Jessie Mueller
Photo by Jacqueline Harris
Starting off her Boston concert premiere with Carole King's rousing "I Feel the Earth Move," and a "big finish" requested by pianist and host Seth Rudetsky, Jessie Mueller proved she's got the gumption to take on virtually any song you give her.
Mueller was the first star of the Seth Rudetsky Series at Boston's Emerson Colonial Theatre this week (Cheyenne Jackson and Kelli O'Hara are future guests). Rudetsky served as Mueller's interviewer and accompanist, leading the Broadway star in conversation between songs and swapping showbiz stories. Flashing back to her childhood, Mueller remembered being entranced at the first musicals she saw come through Illinois. I'm sure many in the audience left entranced by her stunning way with a song.
Mueller's chameleon voice gives her a unique edge in today's musical-theater scene. As she recreated characters she ha played on stages from Chicago to New York, she impressed with her vocal versatility, switching between pop belter, Golden Age soprano, and 1940s jazz baby with uncanny precision. A lovely cover of "Both Sides Now" invited welcome comparisons to Joni Mitchell, with a delicate head voice and huskier lower register.
With her comfort singing in so many genres, it was a surprise to hear that Mueller had no jazz songs prepared when she auditioned for the 2011 Broadway revival of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. It was, she admitted, her first-ever New York audition. No matter—she reenacted her hasty improvisation with the audition pianist, quickly transforming a lilting take on "It Might As Well Be Spring" into a spry up-tempo swing. She booked the show and kicked off a Broadway career that, to date, has earned her a Tony Award and three additional nominations. She and Rudetsky had fun with a lively reading of her big On a Clear Day ... number, Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane's "Ev'ry Night at Seven" (originally written for the film Royal Wedding).
For fans of the classics, Mueller resurrected two roles that couldn't be more different from each other: the raucous, belty "Shy" from her high school production of Once Upon a Mattress; and a gentle, yearning "My White Knight" from a recent staging of The Music Man in Washington D.C. I was particularly moved to see her reprise her Julie Jordan from the 2018 revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel, singing a poignant, bruised "What's the Use of Wond'rin'," which led into her more hopeful delivery of "If I Loved You."
The audience seemed eager to welcome Mueller back after she starred in the 2015 tryout of Waitress at Cambridge's American Repertory Theater. She received a warm standing ovation for her wrenching delivery of "She Used to Be Mine," which she said gave her everything she needed to understand that character. This Sara Bareilles ballad perfectly suited Mueller's emotional ebb and flow with a melody line, her voice vulnerable one minute and heartbreakingly raw the next.
She and Rudetsky spoke about their social justice work together, including a Concert for America series started in response to the current administration, as well as the Broadway for Orlando all-star recording of "What the World Needs Now Is Love," which raised funds in the aftermath of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting. Performing the Burt Bacharach-Hal David tune solo last night, Mueller invited the audience to sing along.
The evening's loose structure kept both performers on their toes, though the interview segments tended to run long. Happily, Mueller and Rudetsky closed with two joyous Carole King standards from her Tony Award-winning turn in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, the title song and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," again inviting the audience to provide backup vocals.
I look forward to seeing where Jessie Mueller goes next. After this wide-ranging performance, it's clear she has many more surprises in store.
The Seth Rudetsky Series: Jessie Mueller, was presented on Monday, July 8, 2019, at the Emerson Colonial Theatre, 106 Boylston Street, Boston MA. For more information on the series, visit www.emersoncolonialtheatre.com or call 888-616-0272.

Businesses pay for employee trips to client offices, events and more. This is to be expected. But there are some travel costs that businesses just shouldn't cover. And we're not talking about obvious things like overpriced cocktails.
These common travel costs aren't indulgences, but rather due to the fact that business travel lags far behind consumer travel in terms of flexibility, visibility and more. Let's dive into the five expenses you should pull the cord on immediately.
Doesn't matter whether you're calling for an initial consultation, a simple question about an existing booking, or an itinerary change. If your business is using a corporate travel agent, chances are you're being charged for customer service interactions.
Following the commission cuts from 1995 to 2001 (when commissions went from 9% to 0-1%), travel agencies largely moved to a fee-based model. The airlines no longer wanted to pay commissions—why would they when the internet made inventory widely available?—so the operating cost of travel agencies moved on to consumers and businesses via service fees.
Fees for bookings, for transactions, for customer service calls, for changes, for questions, for issues…you name it. The very 1980s-like business model of slapping on fees has been obliterated in every other industry except business travel, and it's time for it to go.
Your business should NOT have to pay for good service when you are already paying for the cost of the flight and hotel. To stop paying these 35-100€ fees, use a business travel booking tool that includes 24/7 customer service at no additional cost.
There can be many benefits to unmanaged travel (where bookings are handled in-house instead of by a corporate travel manager), but there is an obvious downside: employees who disregard the company travel policy.
For example, maybe your travel policy requires that employees choose a flight with a layover if it is lower priced but will still get them to their destination on time. Employees may knowingly (or unknowingly if they haven't actually read the policy) book direct flights because they are more convenient.
Business travelers want convenience, information, and access to flight options. You want to provide them with all of that…while keeping their trips within policy. To stop paying for travel outside of set limits, use a tool that automates your policy and allows for approvals when needed.
Big conference coming up? A meeting in the London office that requires the attendance of four employees from Milan?
If you don't have a travel manager, appoint one traveler to help coordinate with everyone on the trip. When people aren't left behind or left to coordinate their own transportation, then businesses can save big.
While commissions for corporate travel agencies are largely dead, they haven't completely fallen by the wayside.
Some legacy solutions used by large corporations still operate on commissions. They cut deals with airlines to help manage travel for companies with mega travel budgets (we're talking millions).
Gigantic corporations may benefit from being locked into a specific travel manager and a specific airline, but for the vast majority of businesses, footing those commissions is a big waste of money.
To save money, companies need access to online consumer travel inventory and to completely avoid markups. Just like with consumer travel, you want the booking platform to be pulling revenue from commissions on airlines and hotels—not markups on the consumer or business.
If the per diem doesn't vary by city, better believe that employees will be enjoying a nicer stay in lower priced areas. Hilton Suite, anyone?
Similarly, if flight costs aren't set by distance (or at least by domestic versus international), then you can assume that travelers will be tempted to max out their budget and their personal convenience.
To make the cost of business travel fair across the board, you need a fully optimized budget. Aggregating and analyzing travel data can be a big win. Discover what limits are reasonable and set them accordingly. Having an optimized, data-empowered budget is much more powerful than using blanket limits, which can force travelers to have wildly different experiences in different areas, causing tension and frustration.
Your business shouldn't have high priced travel to low cost areas. But at the same token, business travelers won't appreciate poor conditions in major metropolitan cities. Setting more specific per diems and formulating travel policies based on real data can help.
To win at budget optimization, make sure your financial team has access to all travel data and that the travel policy is fully automated and that it differentiates prices by city.
Cutting out these five common business travel costs can help you slash travel expenses and have more money to allocate to the travel that truly matters.

With housing prices crushing many of our dreams to own a large home with a sprawling yard - particularly closer to our cities, we turn to design and decoration to solve our space problems.
Installing an ensuite back-to-back with a small bathroom is often possible within the space once occupied by a family bathroom alone. Placing your shower over the bath saves oodles of space when you're dealing with a cramped layout and wall-mounted heated towel rails allow efficient storage and drying without the clutter. Opt for a wall-mounted basin and borrow space from adjoining walls where possible for plumbing and recessed storage. Hang mirrors flush to the walls without a frame for a streamlined look.
Cabinetry and layout are key in the kitchen and making the most of your storage is what will work for you. Look to even the small pockets to incorporate clever hideaways and accommodate appliances to save bench space. Edit your kitchenware with limited space in mind and invest in good quality items that will endure, such as a sturdy chopping board. Where possible choose utensils that are beautiful on display where other storage falls short.
Taking cabinetry right up to the ceiling is a clever idea in a laundry space - little used items can stay there year round out of the way. Plan cabinetry to accommodate appliances and storage in what needs to be a considered layout. Tall cupboards for ironing boards, under-bench cavities for a dryer and/or washing machine. In cases where the washer is top loading, situate it at the end of the bench where there's plenty of space to move around and, where possible include a bench top to ensure there's still space to fold items above the dryer.
Think outside the bulk of a built-in when space is at a premium in the bedroom. Wardrobes are usually the biggest item in the room and leave little floor area to move around the bed. By splitting the hanging storage into two smart sections, this queen sized bed still has all the trappings of style with handy alcoves either side and sconce lighting above. Cabinetry stops short of the ceiling to give the illusion of height and retain the decorative cornice detailing.
Create space for work or study by adding built-in cabinetry next to existing architectural features. A small desk below a couple of bookshelves is all that's needed to make a space private and functional - and to demarcate it from other zones, be it in a bedroom, hallway or living room.

Uganda launches its new destination brand- Explore Uganda
Uganda, has refreshed its tourism destination brand promise, with the unveiling of a new brand identity that promises both domestic, regional and global tourists, an adventure of a lifetime. Explore Uganda, The Pearl of Africa, was unveiled by the country's president, H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni in Kampala, Uganda's capital city.
Explaining the new brand promise, the Uganda Tourism Board Chief Executive Officer, Lilly Ajarova said that the new brand promise seeks to reemphasise Uganda's rare and precious range of tourism attractions to the world, thereby earning destination Uganda competitive market share.
"Uganda is no doubt beautiful. Beautiful beyond measure. Yes, everyone knew that Uganda is and has always been the Pearl of Africa, – but there was a lack of clarity and consistency on, if Uganda is the Pearl of Africa- what pearls does it have to offer for each of the various travel segments and preferences," said Ajarova.
"To win the marketplace; to achieve our Number One objective of "Sustainably Promoting Uganda as a Competitive Tourism Destination for Inclusive Development", it was therefore important that all stakeholders are aligned on what makes us the Pearl of Africa and how do we unpack that to the various travel markets/segments around the world" she added.
Before the new brand, there were a number of campaigns by various stakeholders, most of which were built around "Visit Uganda" as a call to action, something that Ajarova says did not appropriately capture the uniqueness of Uganda's attractions.
"If you think about it, when you invite someone to visit you, you are simply asking them to check on you, maybe for a few days. But an invitation to explore is really about inviting someone to indulge themselves. To spoil themselves; to delve into; to deep-dive; to discover and rediscover- the depth, range and variety of attractions in the pearl," Ajarova further explained.
Speaking at the launch, President Museveni urged beckoned the world to Explore Uganda, The Pearl of Africa saying that, the uniqueness of her attractions guaranteed a better experience and higher return on investment. He particularly extolled Uganda's unique terrain, that made the country a "roof of Africa" where Lake Victoria sits, giving birth to the Mighty River Nile that flows through various Ugandan lakes on its way to Alexandria in Egypt.
The rebranding is an essential component of UTB's Strategic Plan (FY 2020/21 – 2024/25) that seeks to "Sustainably Promote Uganda as a Competitive Tourism Destination for Inclusive Development" with a strategic goal to "sustainably increase the volume and value of tourism in Uganda."
Under this plan, UTB is pursuing 5 major objectives, namely to increase tourist arrivals; to increase investment and job creation in the tourism sector; increase the competitiveness of the tourism destination; to improve collection and access to tourism Information and to improve internal efficiency and effectiveness.
From the above objectives, UTB, expects, by 2024/25 to work with all stakeholders to restart, rebuild and deliver to market tourism experiences that will help Uganda to: recover from the impact of the pandemic that saw us lose up to $1 billion in revenue in 2020, reach the pre-pandemic levels of $1.45 billion and grow that further to $1.862 billion; recover the contribution of tourism to total employment at 667,600 people (6.3% of total employment); increase inbound tourism revenues per visitor from $1,036 to $1,500; recover the average number of International Tourist arrivals from the U.S, Europe, Middle East, China and Japan at 225,300 tourists; increase the proportion of leisure to total tourists from 20.1 to 30 per cent and increase the number of direct flight routes to Europe and Asia from 6 to 30 flights.

New life? ASU football sets out to break the Oregon curse
ASU football opens Pac-12 action Saturday in Tempe against No. 24 Oregon. The Sun Devils have lost 10 in a row to the Ducks.
New life? ASU football sets out to break the Oregon curse ASU football opens Pac-12 action Saturday in Tempe against No. 24 Oregon. The Sun Devils have lost 10 in a row to the Ducks. Check out this story on azcentral.com: http://azc.cc/2xp4nv3

Todd Graham this week officially closed the chapter on Arizona State's non-conference season, which was fitting because outside of a second-half surge against Texas Tech, the Sun Devils didn't produce much worth remembering.
Despite a slow start, the ASU coach stressed that all of the team's Pac-12 goals are obtainable, a quest that starts Saturday night against No. 24 Oregon at Sun Devil Stadium, a fresh start for a program looking to find its stride.
At 1-2, the Sun Devils are off to their worst start since 1999. Dating to last season, they have lost seven of eight.
"This week all that matters is us putting together a complete game against Oregon," Graham said on his weekly radio show.
But that's the problem here. Oregon likely won't be ASU's toughest conference opponent. The Ducks are coming off their worst season since 1991. Although they have opened 3-0, they are still somewhat of an unknown – pretender or contender? – under first-year coach Willie Taggart.
And yet …
They have owned the Sun Devils.
ASU FOOTBALL: Signal stealing? Looks like it's curtains for Oregon's sideline scheme
Oregon has won 10 in a row over ASU, a streak that dates to 2005. With a win Saturday, the Ducks will match USC for the longest stretch of conference dominance over the Sun Devils. USC beat ASU 11 consecutive times from 2000 to 2010.
Over the streak, Oregon has had little trouble with ASU. Of its 10 wins, only three have been decided by fewer than two touchdowns. They have won with a Heisman Trophy quarterback in Marcus Mariota and with a true freshman quarterback in Justin Herbert.
Average margin of victory over the Sun Devils: 19 points.
"Oregon reminds me so much of what we did at Baylor," said defensive coordinator Phil Bennett, who coached at the Big 12 school before joining Graham's staff in January. "Their simplicity, yet their effectiveness in how they do it is impressive. And they've got, obviously, one of the the top running backs in the nation (in Royce Freeman.)"
In some ways, this is a weekend theme. Not just in Tempe, but across the Pac-12. USC on Saturday takes a 13-game winning streak over California into Berkeley. Stanford hosts UCLA with a nine-game winning streak over the Bruins.
For ASU to break its streak, the Sun Devils will have to build off last week's second-half surge at Texas Tech. Even though they fell short, they rallied from 18 down three times, moving the ball better than they had all season.
To beat the Ducks, more improvement will be required.
"A season is evaluated at the end of the year," Graham said. "You don't really know how you stack up and that's why it was so important for us to get to playing a lot better football because the Pac-12 is a whole different deal."
