We won't be wasting a fortune on electric cars: Ford chief reveals why one green initiative is a non-starter
Driving force: Mark Ovenden aims to boost UK engine plants
Putin's meddling in Ukraine may be giving business leaders doubts about investing there, but Ford boss and Russia veteran Mark Ovenden sees nothing but growth in the turbulent region.
On Ford's stand at the bustling Geneva auto show, Ovenden describes the three years he spent running Ford Russia from 2008 as 'one of the most exciting jobs in my Ford career'.
That is no small statement from the man who started as a graduate trainee and worked his way across the global company to become chairman and managing director of Ford in Britain, its third-biggest market.
'The long-term trend for Russia has to be upwards,' he says confidently. 'As it's a raw materials-based economy there will always be bumps in the road, plus factors like the current situation which are completely unforeseen. But I'm a great believer in Russia's future as a major player.'
One regret is that Ovenden had to leave behind the AK-47 assault rifle he was given when opening a dealership in its inventor Mikhail Kalashnikov's home town.
At Ford it has been a strong start to the year in Britain, with sales growing 11.7 per cent in January compared with the same period in 2013, and a market share of 15.3 per cent – up 1.1 per cent over the past 12 months.
Ovenden says the British market is one of the most competitive in the world – the result of an improving economy but also because over- capacity in Europe makes manufacturers look to Britain for sales, which rose nearly 11 per cent last year.
He credits low interest rates and growing consumer confidence for the strong UK market rather than the effect of payment protection insurance repayments, when bank were forced to refund customers with billions of pounds for mis-sold policies. 'I've never bought that,' he says. 'Far more important were the macro trends.'
Hot wheels: Ford's stand at the Geneva auto show
Now he's concentrating on 'stretching' the Ford brand. 'We're not going to move the brand upmarket because we very much like where our heartland and our core strength is but with the products coming up we have the ability to stretch it up to higher incomes and higher price points and also stretch it down to models like the new Ka concept.'
While the core of Ford in Britain is the best-selling Fiesta, Focus and Transit brands, Ovenden is keen to expand in the 4x4 and Sports Utility Vehicle sector where it currently only has the Kuga.
Hence the launch of the EcoSport and the Edge models, plus the commercial vehicles Transit Connect and Courier, and then over the next new few years the new Mondeo, the Vignale, and the 'jewel in the crown' Mustang.
But neither Ovenden nor Ford seem to be big fans of electric cars. 'If you want an electric vehicle then you can have one. We do the whole range of engines up to diesels, but people still have concerns. Electric cars just haven't taken off.'
But if Ford put its weight behind them? 'There's no point in us getting behind it and losing a fortune. It's got to be commercially viable.
'Emission standards are only going to go one way, so you could say that bringing out the wonderful EcoBoost engine – which is going into 40 per cent of our vehicles – has a far greater impact on the environment than a handful of electric cars.'
Ovenden was in Geneva to unveil the new Ford Focus, which comes with a new in-car system which includes an 8-inch colour touch screen, voice control, collision sensors and automatic parking.
'One of the reasons why I love the car industry is that people think it's all about heavy engineering but now it's also about electrical engineering, the games industry, the personal devices industry, they're all coming together,' says Ovenden.
'People are also passionate about cars in a way they aren't about other products and they treasure memories of previous cars. I fell in love with a red [Ford Escort] XR3 back in 1984 and I thought the quickest way to own one would be to work for Ford, so that's why I joined the graduate scheme. I've never worked for anyone else.'
Ovenden, 49, now drives an S-Max 250 'which I absolutely love as you can be a family man with responsibilities (he is married with two teenage daughters) but when you're on your own it's a completely different drive'.
He rebuts any notion that Ford Britain isn't a major player in manufacturing just because it no longer makes cars here.
'We still employ more than 13,500 people in Britain, we've got 3,500 highly-trained engineers and we have the capacity to make one in three Ford engines in use across the world,' he says firmly.
'We are part of a global company and Britain's role is in the design, engineering and manufacturing of low-carbon technology – 40 per cent of the vehicle's cost is the engine.'
While more than 100 years of production for Ford vehicles in Britain ended last year with the shift of Transit vans to Turkey, Ford still has three major manufacturing sites in the UK: in Bridgend, Wales, for petrol engines, Dagenham for diesel engines and Halewood near Liverpool for transmissions as well as a large R&D facility in Dunton, Essex.
Ford ploughed £24million into Bridgend last year and, hints Ovenden, 'there are potential future investments in Britain, either Bridgend or Dagenham or both, but those have to be competitive'.
When not running Ford, Ovenden, who lives with his family in Essex, steps out for his local village cricket team, and relaxes over a wee dram of his favourite Talisker Scotch whisky.
Ovenden laughs off suggestions that he could be whisked away to the US by his American parent company, but he has proved his mettle in Russia and now in the burgeoning British market, too, so it's a fair bet he has a way to go yet.

Roseanne Star Lecy Goranson Opens Up About Cancellation: What Did She Say?Paul Dailly at .
With the dust starting to settle in one of the biggest scandals to rock the TV world in quite some time, another Roseanne star has offered some words about the ABC hit being canceled.
"[I'm] devastated by the cancellation of Roseanne," the actress said Tuesday via Twitter, before adding, "But more devastating are the effects of hate speech and racism on individuals and society."
The actress went on to say that everyone should "spread love not hate."
There's no denying that it must be a difficult time for the cast and crew. It was difficult enough to bring the show back after a 20-year hiatus.
But it emerged as one of the biggest hits on TV and becoming the most watched show on broadcast TV after just two months back on the air.
Related: Roseanne Canceled at ABC!
It was such a hit that ABC swiftly locked the cast down, and renewed it for an expanded eleventh season shortly after it returned.
However, series star Roseanne Barr took to Twitter earlier this week and compared Barack Obama's former aide Valerie Jarrett to an ape, and immediately felt the ire of the internet and the world.
ABC decided it was cutting ties not just with Barr, but the show itself, and swung the ax on Tuesday afternoon.
"Roseanne's Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show," said ABC President, Channing Dungey in a statement.
"Today my words caused hundreds of hardworking people to lose their jobs," the actress said in the aftermath of the cancellation.

"I also sincerely apologize to the audience that has embraced my work for decades. I apologize from the bottom of my heart and hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me."
Despite her claims that she was sorry, she subsequently took aim at co-stars Sara Gilbert and Michael Fishman because they took to social media to condemn her for her comments.
It's going to go down as one of the biggest changes of the tide in the history of TV, and it's surprising that one horrific tweet can change the public perception of one person in such a swift manner.
What do you think about all of this?

Womens Jackets & Outerwear
Our range of womens jackets at Anaconda includes brands like The North Face, Columbia and more. Discover our amazing collection online or in store now!
137 items found.
Does Anaconda stock women's jackets?
Womens jackets and outerwear come in a wide variety of colours, styles, sizes and prices here at Anaconda. From smart and stylish cover-ups to sporty models to keep you warm on the go, you will find jackets and outerwear here to cope with all types of weather. At Anaconda, we know how important it is to be properly dressed to cope with the temperature outdoors. In our womens jackets and outerwear section, you'll find different varieties of jacket to suit your outdoor needs. Our range includes softshell jackets, womens waterproof jackets, insulated jackets that are ideal for use as winter coats and much more. With items from the biggest names in the outdoor industry, there's a womens jacket for every budget at Anaconda.
What type of jacket do I need?
Every woman will need more than one jacket to get through the season if she wants to be covered for all eventualities. Here are some of the considerations for various types of jacket:
- Warm - if you are living in an area where the temperatures plummet in winter, or you are planning to go skiing this winter, a warm jacket like a puffa coat or duvet jacket, or similar, will be indispensable.
- Waterproof - for walks with the dog, trips on the bike or standing on the sidelines cheering on family members at sporting events, a waterproof jacket is a must. Ideally one with a hood, and cuffs to stop the water from going up your sleeves too.
- Stylish - if you like to dress up, and have to travel to events, you will need a smart and stylish coat to match your outfit. Make sure it is cut generously enough to wear a suit jacket underneath if that is what you'll be wearing.
- Casual - this is the sort of jacket that you can leave on the back seat of the car, or hanging on a hook by the back door, ideal for just slipping on when you are popping out to pick up the kids or get some shopping.
- Cover-up - for summer evenings or days when the sun goes in unexpectedly, a lightweight fleece jacket will be just the thing to carry with you, ready for when you need that extra layer.
- Vest - many activities outdoor mean that although you need to be covered up, you will still need to have plenty of freedom of movement. For this, a vest that leaves your arms bare is indispensable.
Which types of warm jackets can I get at Anaconda?
When it comes to warm jackets, you'll be spoilt for choice. With many top brands as well as a wide choice of colours and styles at fantastic prices, you can get warm jackets for every occasion and activity here. A good warm jacket is imperative when the temperature drops significantly during the day or night. If you are physically active, you can usually generate enough body heat to keep you warm. But once you stop moving, your body temperature can quickly fall to a point where it becomes not only uncomfortable but also dangerous.
Depending on your preference, you can go for one warm jacket like a down insulated jacket that will keep out wind, snow and rain, or opt for a layered approach, with a base layer such as a thermal top, which keeps your body temperature stable, followed by a mid-layer like a fleece jacket or a soft-shell jacket, and topped with an outer layer that will keep the wind and rain off. This has the benefit of allowing you to remove a layer when needed if the temperature changes or you have exerted yourself and need to cool down a bit.
What are the benefits of thermal jackets?
Thermal insulation works on the principle of reducing heat flow. Heat flow is an inevitable consequence of contact between objects of differing temperature. Thermal insulation will provide an area of insulation whereby thermal conduction is reduced, or thermal radiation is reflected rather than absorbed by the object with the lower temperature.
Gases (including air) do not conduct heat in the same way as liquids or solids and are therefore a great natural insulator. By trapping the air in small pockets, such as between feathers, or in and around the fibres of wool or silk, heat transfer will be even more reduced. Many natural materials such as wool or down make great insulators, but also man-made synthetic fibres can have very good insulating properties. In addition, they can be lighter in weight and cheaper than their natural counterparts.
What features should I look for in a skiing jacket?
If you are going to be active on the slopes, there are certain extra features that you may want to look out for in your women's jacket. Here are the top features to look out for:
- Waterproof, breathable fabric will keep snow and rain out while letting your sweat escape at the same time.
- Taped seams are essential if you want to make sure your jacket is fully water and wind proof, and a cover over your zip is also recommended.
- A high collar is a great bonus. High collars can be pulled up over your chin, lips and even the tip of your nose to keep the wind off.
- A hood is great, but make sure that it is big enough to go over your helmet if you will be wearing one, and that it has toggles or other closures so you can adjust the opening.
- Extra-long sleeves or snow cuffs will help to stop snow from getting up your sleeves or your sleeves from riding up your arm during skiing.
- Underarm ventilation. It seems strange, but even in the harshest conditions, you can overheat, especially if you have been active. Some skiing jackets now come with vents.
- A lift pass pocket in your sleeve will save you having to produce your ski lift pass - the electronic sensors can read it through the fabric of your jacket.
- Zipped inside pockets will help you keep phones and valuables safe and protected even when moving at great speeds.
- A colour that will help you stand out against the snow can be a great bonus in an emergency. Bright colours such as lime green, pink and orange can be spotted from a long way away.

Where to Find Restrooms in a National ParkTravel Tips, What's New — By julietrevelyan on November 4, 2010 at 8:08 pm
National parks are very nice about bathrooms: They have them. Just remember, they don't have them everywhere! I mean, don't expect to be halfway up Zion National Park's Angels Landing Trail and find a pit toilet. Wait…just kidding! Angels Landing is so popular, and it's so difficult to find a natural place to go there for both crowdedness and safety reasons, that particular hike actually offers a pit toilet. But far more usually, if you're away from the main part of any national park, you'll have to dig your hole. There are some rules around that too, so…pooper beware.
Where to find public restrooms
Usually right when you drive into a national park, there's a clean restroom just there at the entrance or soon after at the visitors center. Depending which end of the park you enter from, your rest stop might involve flush toilets and electricity, or it might not. For example, if you enter Zion National Park from its Springdale (southern) entrance, anticipate a fully modernized bathroom at the visitors center soon after. If you enter Capitol Reef National Park from its eastern entrance, expect a pit toilet sans lights ("real" bathroom up the road at the visitors center).
At the pit toilets found in most national parks, you will often encounter a sign asking that no trash be put into the toilet. Imagine the troubles the septic company (or, park employees…ah, job perks) would have when their machines try to suck out the toilet contents and run into random trash dumped in there too. Please, respect the dirty but necessary job those people have!
Bathroom etiquette out on the trail
Outdoors, it's all about Leave No Trace. And, sometimes, your hike might go longer than your bladder, planned or not. Things to bring in your daypack:
–toilet paper. Depending on the length of your hike and suspected need, it's easiest to unroll a sufficient amount and stuff it into a Ziploc-type bag.
–pre-moistened towelettes. Best to get the travel size rather than the plastic canister.
–hand sanitizer. Small travel size.
-a small trash bag to deposit all used paper. Why? Because you canNOT bury it! A gallon-sized Ziploc bag ought to do the trick.
Find a spot way, way off the trail. Have a person stand lookout for you if it's an emergency situation and you just can't find a hidden spot. If it's desperation of the #2 variety, you must dig a cat hole. What's a cat hole? Envision a household cat digging away in the litter box or the yard, and you've got it. Why a cat hole? Come on, now. Who wants to stumble across your poo just lying around in the wilderness? Animal scat (poo) is one thing. Human is a whole 'nother kettle of fish, folks, and how you do it on our federal lands is regulated just like everything else. Use a nearby stick, rock, or even a small backpacking shovel or trowel to dig your hole.
Carrying out your used paper. Yup, sounds gross, but it's gotta be done. Wrap it up in a clean sheet or two (or three, whatever) of toilet paper, then deposit it into your handy trash bag. Again, why? Because anything you bury will get dug up by curious animals. And when it's dug up, they don't rebury it, they leave it lying around. For the next human hikers to see. And that's just plain nasty. Please, take it out and dispose of it properly once you're in civilization again.
If there's water nearby, take 100 big steps away from it before you do your thing. Again, think about it. What gets put in the ground will eventually make its way into the water. Yeah.
Anyone out there got other bathroom trail etiquette? Let us know in the comments section. And remember–everyone who goes out in the wilderness must eventually do it in the woods (the desert, etc.). Please do it discreetly and remember to always Leave No Trace.

To help keep from groing through your financial allowance if this involves purchasing new clothing, shopping in a thrift store for girl's clothes is a straightforward strategy for finding affordable products. Some moms might believe it is embarrassing to buy from the thrift store due to what others may think.
So many people are scared of others discovering regarding their predicament when they frequent a thrift store. Not everybody who shops there's poor, however the image that just the indegent do is powerful.
Discount stores carry several benefits for that consumer. The greatest misunderstanding is the fact that all of the clothes you will find used. This isn't true as many folks hand out items that they received as a present rather than used.
At Salvation Military or Value Village, many products are located that also get their store tags in it.
If an individual loves to "shop til they drop," this is actually the perfect spot to go since they're not investing a whole month's budget on a single set of footwear like they'd had they attended the mall. It needs time to work and energy to undergo the shelves to obtain the stuff that's best, but it's well worth the work.
Consignment stores will also be great places to locate girl's clothes. If you're able to take time to examine the shelves, you will probably find the right Easter time dress for the young girl. The good thing is it is going to be a smaller amount than in a large title store.
Shopping at thrift stores for son's clothes could be unfortunate too. you will find frequently occasions when you'll find something that's been contributed due to a stain or rip within the seam.

VANCOUVER (CIS) – The No. 2-seeded Carleton Ravens punched their ticket to the CIS men's basketball national semifinals for the 14th straight year, turning aside the No. 7 Thompson Rivers WolfPack 91-75 in quarter-final action on Thursday afternoon.
The opening game of the 2016 ArcelorMittal Dofasco CIS Men's Basketball Final 8 at UBC's Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre was closer than the final score indicated, with the WolfPack battling back to tie the score 50-50 midway through the third quarter.
But the five-time defending national champion Ravens pulled away in the fourth, riding their rebounding prowess and a career night from fourth-year forward Ryan Ejim to victory. Carleton out-rebounded the Thompson Rivers 54-37, and Ejim racked up 26 points and 14 rebounds, both game highs.
"I thought he had a good game in terms of seeing the ball clearly and just being the first guy to move to it," Ravens head coach Rob Smart said of Ejim afterward. "Him and (WolfPack forward Gerard) Gore had a pretty good battle – they're well-matched in there, and I think he was having fun playing today. Any time he sees the ball clearly, he's such a good athlete and he's got good hands, he's going to cause teams problems."
The two programs are a study in contrasts at this championship – Carleton is the reigning CIS men's basketball powerhouse, with 11 national titles in 13 years, including the last five. Thompson Rivers is the newcomer, making its first-ever CIS Final 8 appearance.
Both teams came out shooting the ball extremely well – Thompson Rivers had the favourites on their heels early, building a five-point lead after Luke Morris swished a three-pointer to make it 17-12. The Ravens responded with an 18-6 run bridging the first and second quarters, draining four triples in that stretch, to go up 32-23.
But just when it looked like the WolfPack might be buried in a blizzard of three-pointers, they responded with a 6-0 run, all the points courtesy Gore, and got to within 38-33 at halftime. They drew level at 50-50 just past the midway point of the third quarter on a layup by Morris.
The Ravens, though, regained control. Connor Wood knocked down shots from beyond the arc on back-to-back possessions to get the offence back on track, and in the dying seconds of the third quarter, Marcus Anderson stole the ball and finished a breakaway layup to give Carleton a 65-60 lead. Gavin Resch's three-pointer early in the fourth capped a 9-0 run and pushed the lead double digits, and Carleton cruised from there.
The Ravens survived a rough shooting night from second-leading scorer KazaKajami-Keane. The second team All-Canadian point guard, who averaged 14.1 points during the OUA regular season, missed his first 14 shots from the field and finished with four points on 1-of-15 shooting with nine assists.
Ejim and rookie TajinderLall helped picked up the slack, though. Lall notched 15 points off the bench after averaging 2.4 points during the regular season and going scoreless during the OUA playoffs.
"Those guys, they work their butt off when nobody sees it," Smart said. "That's kind of what our culture is supposed to be about, and it's nice to see that it is. The big thing for me, especially T.J. (Lall), was how solid he looked defensively. It's one thing to feel it a little bit on offence – anyone coming out of high school as a good player is going to be able to do that. But to be that solid defensively was absolutely important."
Wood finished with 18 points, while Guillaume PayenBoucard had a double-double of his own with 15 points and 13 boards.
Gore paced the WolfPack with 22 points, and Josh Wolfram (17 points) and VolodymyrIegorov (14 points, 10 rebounds) also chipped in offensively.
Thompson Rivers head coach Scott Clark noted that the Ravens' effort on the boards wore his team down.
"They're relentless in their pursuit of the basketball," Clark said. "They're the standard-bearer of how hard you have to rebound. You can talk about it all you want, but I think you need to experience that, and that's our first experience with that. Full credit to them – they played extremely hard.
"We watched tape, and Ejim's a guy that's always around the basket and always around the basketball. We lost him a couple times, and he made some shots. But most of his shots were second opportunities, where we just weren't tough enough to deal with him on the glass.
"There's a reason they're the No. 2 seed, and that's probably one of them."
The Ravens advance to play the winner of the quarter-final between No. 3 Ottawa and No. 6 Dalhousie in the semis at 3 p.m. Pacific time on Saturday, live on Sportsnet 360 and www.CIS-SIC.tv. The WolfPack return to action in Friday's first consolation game against the Ottawa-Dalhousie loser (5 p.m., www.CIS-SIC.tv).

The purpose of this post is just to help you out if you are struggling with the decision about getting a website.
Today the internet is big, I mean really big. There is more information flowing around the world than we could possibly comprehend. People live on the internet, they are addicted to services and applications. People use the internet for just about anything - to book tables at a restaurant, to shop for items and to share pictures of their food. Amongst all this though, people are looking for services and businesses to fit their needs - they may be looking for a window cleaner, a plumber or a gardener. They may be looking for you.
What purpose does a Website serve?
A website is mainly to share information. Such famous examples include Wikipedia (the online encyclopaedia), Google (the search engine) and Wolfram Alpha (the online mathematical engine). Information can be anything and can certainly be related to your business. It could be your business opening hours, its telephone number, its address or some company history such as when and why it was founded. A presence like this also adds confidence and builds trust – after all, why should a visitor invest their time (and money) in you, if they've never even met you.
A website can be more complicated than just serving information though, that's quite a one sided way - the potential customer visits your website, they get your telephone number and then phone you, great! That might be perfect for you but let's say your business is a hair salon and would like to accept bookings online, for this to work you will need the user to give you information - a two sided way of doing things. In this case you may actually call this a website application or "web app" for short. Web apps are generally quite intelligent and can handle things like booking online or connecting users together like a social network.
That's the beauty of websites and web apps, anything is possible. You essentially have the power at your fingers to change the world - Facebook did and it could be done again.
5 quick reasons to have a website
- Open yourself up to more potential customers.
- Easily manage your information with a Content management system (no more contacting Yellow Pages by post
- to update your business address).
- Offer quick and easy to use services such as online booking
- Brand awareness - if you create a fantastic website with great content then people will want to share that with friends and family. This gets your business name out there on a large scale and its free!You may be able to run your business entirely online and save the expense of offices and business rates!
Things to be careful of…
Stay clear of free or template based websites. They're free for a reason. Here's a clue – they're not very good! If you're engaging a web design agency, ask about their process. Do they design the site with you, or simply provide you a downloaded theme! Is their CMS Wordpress? If so, who will manage the security updates it needs to stay protected and secure? This leads us to hosting – make sure your host is reputable. If you're not sure why you need hosting, basically it's a computer that stores the files that make up your site. If that computer is old, undependable, insecure then chances are your site won't be available. It pays to have a reliable host.
Once I have a website, what happens next?
It's important that once you have a website to keep the information up to date. If you move premises then update your address. It's also a good idea to have a news section or blog section where you can post updates about your business, products or staff. This shows that your website is focused on adding new content and not letting it sit there to rot. Websites can be updated if you ever fancy a face lift or you can always add in new features depending on how your company grows.
New website to-do list
- Add your website link to your social media accounts e.g. Facebook and Twitter
- Tell Google and other search engines about your website
- Add your website link to any directory sites you are listed on such as Yell
I hope that we have helped you decide on getting a website or even update your current one. If you are interested in any of our services or require any advice then please feel free to email us or phone us on 01476 576 839 in the office. Thank you for reading.

Packers announce third-string QB Scott Tolzien will start Week 11 vs. Giants
The Green Bay Packers, in less than a week, are down to their third-string quarterback. With Aaron Rodgers on the shelf with a collarbone injury, backup Seneca Wallace was hurt in the first quarter of Sunday's Week 10 home game against Philadelphia. That left No. 3 QB Scott Tolzien to take over the offense on the Packers' second drive of the game. Later on Sunday afternoon, the Packers announced that Tolzien would start Week 11 against the New York Giants.
The injury, to Wallace's groin, occured when he collided with Eagles inside linebacker Najee Goode while being flushed out of the pocket to make a pass attempt.
MORE: Vernon Davis concussed | Locker could be out for the year | Cutler hurt again
Tolzien, who played college football down the road in Madison at the University of Wisconsin, is a third-year undrafted player. He was just promoted to the active roster from the practice squad to back up Wallace as Rodgers is expected to be out several weeks. Tolzien came into the game with the Packers trailing the Eagles 7-0.

Some of you might know that I am Greek. My maiden name is Alexopoulos and I used to have to spell it all of the time. I am not 100% Greek but some of my family members are. I love the heritage and have enjoyed learning about it. When My Big Fat Greek Wedding came out, of course my entire family went to see it. And we all immediately discussed how it was our family pretty much to a T. Especially my father, Aunts, and Uncles – since they grew up in a Greek household.
As soon as I heard that My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 was coming out, I was thrilled! I just could not wait to see what the Portokalos family would be getting up to this time. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to see it in theaters (my husband and I are lucky to get one date night a month away from our little ones), but many of my family members did. They told me how great it was and that I would need to grab it when it comes out on Blu-ray and DVD. Well, it did – on June 21st, 2016 – and I finally just got my copy. This movie is hilarious – dare I say, better than the first? I loved it! I was excited to be able to call my cousin and laugh about all the jokes and things that we picked up on. What a great film for anyone – of any heritage! Be sure to pick up your copy and/or enter to win one below!
The lovable and funny Portokalos family is back and as uncontrollable as ever in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, the long-awaited follow-up to the highest-grossing romantic comedy of all time, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Written by Academy Award-nominee Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, My Life in Ruins), My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 reunites the entire beloved clan as they celebrate the biggest, Greekest wedding yet in a film that FOX-TV calls, "Hilarious and heartwarming…A big fat great time!" My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 on Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital HD also features a hysterical gag reel and never-before-seen bonus features including a sit down with the stars to hear what really happened behind the scenes.
Toula (Vardalos) and Ian (John Corbett, "Parenthood") have raised their daughter Paris (Elena Kampouris, Men, Women, and Children) in the bosom of her extended Greek family. But the now 17-year-old is eager to set out on her own. When an unexpected wedding threatens to disrupt the clan's delicate balance, it can either bring them all together or put them all at odds in a heartwarming family comedy as sweet as a slice of baklava. The entire original ensemble reprises their iconic roles, including Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, Michael Constantine (The Juror), Lainie Kazan (Beaches), Andrea Martin (Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb), Gia Carides (Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me), Joey Fatone (The Opposite Sex), Louis Mandylor (Code of Honor), Bess Meisler (The Perfect Family), with Elena Kampouris, John Stamos ("Grandfathered") and Rita Wilson (HBO's "Girls") joining the cast for the first time.
- GAG REEL – Laugh along with the family as they make the film!
- MY BIG FAT GREEK DINNER – Grab a seat, fill a plate and share a family meal with the cast of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2! Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, Joey Fatone, Ian Gomez, Lainie Kazan and Michael Constantine take part in a round-table retrospective shot inside the now famous Portokalos family restaurant, Dancing Zorbas. This featurette includes an in-depth look at the making of the film, the gargantuan success of its predecessor and how one doesn't have to be Greek to feel like a member of the Portokalos family!
- MAKING THE GREEKQUEL – An inside look at the making of My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 featuring on-set footage plus cast and crew interviews to show what it takes to bring a fan favorite back to life. Nia Vardalos, John Corbett, and cast members share some behind the scenes secrets, and Elena Kampouris and director Kirk Jones talk about working alongside the original cast as they shoot the follow up to the 2002 blockbuster.

CARQUEST and Advance Auto Components have joined forces to bring you an even much better buying knowledge. A car with defective shock absorbers can take as considerably as two.6 metres additional to stop in an emergency perhaps the difference between driving past an accident or becoming in a single! If you do dip or swerve under braking it lower your control more than the vehicle which can be quite unsafe in wet climate. Also, simply because the compressors draw a large quantity of battery current, they will probably need to have to be connected with a direct existing from the vehicle battery. There is a solution to this issue and that is to install a shock absorber also known as air chamber.
On the other hand, rough roads marked with potholes, large cracks and sharp ridges that run across the pavement (the typical urban torture test) will wear out shocks quicker. When you purchase straight from an on-line wholesaler, such as Vehicle Parts Stuff, you are likely to recognize the greatest savings as the better ones acquire directly from the companies, cutting out the middle man and his higher mark ups. Shock absorbers automatically adjust to road conditions because the faster the suspension moves, the much more resistance they give.
When it comes to passenger automobile functionality, Bilstein B6 shocks are a great selection to give you efficiency handling with a comfy ride. I run and play squash and I would only use this for squash as it would definately not support me enough for a run. Adjustable stress switches are available, but most folks will decide on to run fixed-pressure one hundred/180psi switches or comparable.
As we will see, for such a straightforward but effective device, shock absorbers look to get tiny respect. A. Shocks do put on out, but this is usually a gradual method and they rarely fail totally.There are among 30 and 40 precision engineered components inside a shock. As a result, the shock absorbers keep your ride fairly smooth and comfortable.
Shocks can be tested on a shock machine, but to do so requires them to be taken off the car. Monroe and other major automotive authorities advise that you have a trained specialist inspect your shock absorbers for indicators of wear each and every 20,000 km. Sabo Shock Absorbers: Combines an best price tag-quality ratio for long productivity at affordable cost. Shock Absorber bras are specifically excellent for the full figure and DD+ lady considering that they come in a size variety that goes up to a 40 band and a HH cup.

Jefferson Co. Sheriff's Association buys gifts for local families
Members of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Association (JCSA) met at Walmart in Port Arthur on Dec. 16 to purchase presents for struggling families and to pleasantly surprise some shoppers by buying toys for the tots on their "nice" lists.
JCSA collects funds during its annual Cops Helping Kids Fishing Tournament and then distributes those funds to local charities and people in the community. The tournament has grown each year, JCSA President Deputy William "Ike" Eichelberger said.
"It keeps getting bigger, and that means we can give away more money," Ike said. "People come from all over Texas and Louisiana to participate in the tournament. Every year, we spread the money out throughout Jefferson County."
Ike said deputies identified families in the community who needed help buying gifts during the holiday season, and asked the families to make wish lists. The deputies then went shopping for the items on the lists, taking the trip to their local Walmart.
"We're also going to do some random surprises," Ike said. He explained. "We are going to go inside and if we see shoppers with children's items in their shopping carts; we're going to surprise them at checkout by buying those items."
Ike said approximately 15 officers had volunteered to help shop for families with wish lists.
Grandmother Alma Castillo has four grandchildren ranging in age from 2 to 8 years old. Her husband is on disability, she says, and buying Christmas gifts for the young ones would have been "difficult."
"This was a surprise for me," Castillo said as she left the store with a cart overflowing with children's toys and clothes. "The sheriff's (association) bought everything."
JCSA has been making the holidays merrier for multiple Jefferson County charities this Christmas season. They donated $5,000 to Garth House on Dec. 13, and plan ade visit to Girls' Haven to drop off a $1,500 donation from tournament proceeds.
"We're asking for everybody to have a safe holiday and a happy holiday and to take care of each other," said Ike.

For the past 13 years, Clayton State University business students have been empowered by their participation in the annual Society for Advancement of Management's (SAM) annual student business case competition.
The current year has been no exception, as, for the fourth straight year, Clayton State's SAM chapter finished in the top two teams in their division of the national competition, finishing ahead of chapters from such a diverse group of universities as Texas A&M Corpus Christi, Wright State University (Ohio) and Rowan University (New Jersey).
For 2014, the Clayton State SAM chapter placed second for the competition for the James Rutherford Trophy (undergraduate division) at the SAM competition in Orlando, Fla. This follows the ClaytonState chapter finishing first in 2011 and 2012, and second in 2013.
"We have been consistently one of the high-performing teams in the SAM case competition in the 13 years that we have participated in this business competition," exclaims chapter advisor and Associate Professor of Economics Dr. Reza Kheirandish.
The 2014 SAM travelling team consisted of four students: Rachel Mannor, Katelyn Curtis, Sarita Brayboy and Chris Jeboda. In addition, Carmen Williams was a member of the team who could not travel to Orlando, but who helped the team prepare their case.
"The team worked very hard during the past two months and developed financial and SWOT analysis and suggested recommendations for JC Penney," explains Kheirandish. "The judges were impressed by our team's performance. I am very proud of this team especially because the difference between the first and the last team is not very much."
Mannor, Curtis and Williams have also received the SAM Outstanding Student Regional Award based on Kheirandish's nomination and their resumes and GPAs.
"I would also like to acknowledge the leadership of our previous faculty advisors, Dr. Michael Deis and Dr. Lari Arjomand," says Kheirandish . "As the current faculty advisor I also want to thank my colleagues in the College of Business at ClaytonState for encouraging their most talented students to participate in SAM case competition team and their words of encouragement for me throughout the past few years."
Williams was born in Atlanta and currently resides in McDonough. A senior general business major with minors in Supply Chain Management and Spanish, in addition to her participation in SAM, she is also a member of Clayton State Internet Radio and the University Hearing Panel, and currently works for the student computer help desk, the HUB on the Clayton State campus.
The current president of the Clayton State SAM chapter, Curtis is a native of Lebanon, Ind., who anticipates graduating in May 2015 with a bachelor's degree in Marketing with a concentration in Supply Chain Management. She is a member of two national honor societies, Alpha Lambda Delta and Phi Eta Sigma, as well as Delta Sigma Pi, a national business fraternity. Currently residing in Peachtree City, Curtis volunteers with the Freedom Foundation where she supports with marketing, inventory management, Alternative Break programs, and their flagship program, Random Acts of Theatre Company.
The vice president of the Clayton State SAM chapter, Mannor grew up in Chicago, and now resides in Fayetteville. She is working towards her Bachelor of Business Administration degree in accounting, and is planning on graduating in the spring of 2015. A member of the Clayton State Accounting Club and the Georgia Society of CPAs, her goal is to obtain her MBA and CPA certification after graduation.
Jeboda is an international student, coming to Clayton State from London. He is pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management. His interests include, but aren't limited to; soccer, technology, finance, traveling, music, movies, and general knowledge. He is currently serving as the treasurer of Clayton State's Honor Student Association, the treasurer for Clayton State's SAM Chapter, and the student manager for Clayton State's Course Hero program. He plans on one day becoming the CFO of a prominent technology firm.
Brayboy is majoring in business management with a minor in marketing, and already holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of Georgia. Along with participating in the SAM case competition, she is also involved in empowering her fellow ClaytonState students as a mentor in the College of Business' Major Mentor Program. Her past employment experiences include Sprint Nextel Corporation and AFB&T, a division of Synovus Bank. She is a native of Atlanta, and currently resides in Ellenwood.
Last year's second place SAM competition team, which produced a case study of Netflix, consisted of four different Clayton State students, including two non-traditional students and an international student; Azadeh Aarabi-Taft, Henrick Drummond, Martha Mobley and Rodrecus Hughes.
Aarabi-Taft was born in Tehran, finished her high school education in Iran, and moved to the United States in February 2011. She started her college education at Gordon College and transferred to Clayton State University in fall of 2012 as a pre-business major. She expects to receive her degree in Accounting by the summer of 2014.
Drummond was 25 years old during last year's SAM competition. Another Accounting major, he has done his own work empowering his fellow students at ClaytonState as an accounting tutor. He is also very involved with student activities at Clayton State, having served as president of the Accounting Club, treasurer for SAM, and as another mentor for Major Mentors. He was recognized as a national outstanding student at the 2013 SAM conference.
Another non-traditional senior Accounting major prior to his May 2013 graduation, Hughes was born in Millen, Ga., in 1986 and now resides in Jonesboro. Last year's SAM president and a member of the Accounting Club, he previously served in the U.S. Army for four years as a combat medic, completing a 12-month tour in Iraq.
Another May 2013 graduate, Mobley now has a Bachelors degree in Business Administration (majoring in marketing) from Clayton State. While a student at Clayton State, she revived the school's marketing club, joined SAM as the chapter vice president and joined the Major Mentor Program. She also individually received the SAM regional award for being an outstanding student, and Clayto State honored her as the Outstanding Graduate of the Year in Marketing and the Service and Leadership Award in Marketing.

Twelve of 19 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns against the Jets' strong pass defense? According to fans, that's worthy of being named the NFL's Rookie of the Week.
The performance against New York on Sunday has earned Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson the honor for the first time this season — though he had been nominated three other times this year. On Friday afternoon, the NFL said Wilson beat out four other fellow rookies by way of fan vote for Week 10 of the season.
Wilson has thrown 15 touchdowns and 8 interceptions so far this year, and has a 62.1 completion percentage and 1,827 passing yards. His passer rating of 90.5 ranks him second among current rookie QBs, behind Robert Griffin III's 93.9 rating with the Washington Redskins, and puts him in the No. 4 all-time spot in our recent list of the best-ever rookie quarterbacks.
At 23 years old, Wilson has taken Seattle by storm. Winning the starting spot over Matt Flynn, whom the Seahawks signed in the offseason (before April's NFL Draft) after his notable appearances as Green Bay's backup, Wilson has now led his team to an undefeated season so far at home. Wilson has thrown 11 TDs and no INTs through five games at CenturyLink Field.
But he hasn't been so spot-on on the road. While Wilson's completion percentage has been roughly the same no matter where he's played, he has thrown just 4 touchdowns to 8 interceptions in enemy territory, earning him a 65.8 passer rating on the road. His rating at home is 122.0.
Wilson beat out Tampa Bay cornerback Leonard Johnson, Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck, St. Louis punter Johnny Hekker and Minnesota wide receiver Jarius Wright for the Rookie of the Week honors. Wilson was previously nominated for his performances against the Cowboys in Week 2, against the Patriots in Week 6 and against the Vikings in Week 9.
The Seahawks (6-4) are currently in their bye week. The Hawks next play the Dolphins on Nov. 25 in Miami, then go to Chicago to play the Bears on Dec. 2 before returning home to face the Cardinals on Dec. 9.

The classroom climate shapes students' learning and instructors' teaching experience in profound ways. This study analyzes classroom climate statements in syllabi from various sociology courses to understand the extent that sociology instructors highlight climate issues and how climate is conceptualized in their syllabi. Drawing from data from two different times periods (pre-2005 and post-2010), the current study examines the frequency of classroom climate statements, the factors that may contribute to the presence of a statement, and themes within these statements.
The scholarly literature on teaching sociology contains relatively little about improving courses from one semester to the next. In this article, I describe a method for continual teaching improvement that is based on writing, the well-established practice of teacher reflection, and classical sociological principles. This method was developed through the analysis of nine semesters of autoethnographic data that I collected in the form of daily reflective notes.

The Fertile Crescent is a crescent-shaped region in the Middle East, spanning modern-day Iraq, Israel, Palestinian Territories, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan as well as the southeastern fringe of Turkey and the western fringes of Iran.[1] [2] Some authors also include Cyprus.
The region has been called the "cradle of civilization", because it is where settled farming first began to emerge as people started the process of clearance and modification of natural vegetation in order to grow newly domesticated plants as crops. Early human civilizations such as Sumer flourished as a result.[3] Technological advances in the region include the development of writing, glass, the wheel, agriculture, and the use of irrigation.
The term "Fertile Crescent" was popularized by archaeologist James Henry Breasted in Outlines of European History (1914) and Ancient Times, A History of the Early World (1916).[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Breasted wrote:
This fertile crescent is approximately a semicircle, with the open side toward the south, having the west end at the southeast corner of the Mediterranean, the center directly north of Arabia, and the east end at the north end of the Persian Gulf (see map, p. 100). It lies like an army facing south, with one wing stretching along the eastern shore of the Mediterranean and the other reaching out to the Persian Gulf, while the center has its back against the northern mountains. The end of the western wing is Palestine; Assyria makes up a large part of the center; while the end of the eastern wing is Babylonia.
This great semicircle, for lack of a name, may be called the Fertile Crescent.1 It may also be likened to the shores of a desert-bay, upon which the mountains behind look down—a bay not of water but of sandy waste, some 500spell=onNaNspell=on across, forming a northern extension of the Arabian desert and sweeping as far north as the latitude of the northeast corner of the Mediterranean. This desert-bay is a limestone plateau of some height—too high indeed to be watered by the Tigris and Euphrates, which have cut cañons obliquely across it. Nevertheless, after the meager winter rains, wide tracts of the northern desert-bay are clothed with scanty grass, and spring thus turns the region for a short time into grasslands. The history of Western Asia may be described as an age-long struggle between the mountain peoples of the north and the desert wanderers of these grasslands—a struggle which is still going on—for the possession of the Fertile Crescent, the shores of the desert-bay.
1 There is no name, either geographical or political, which includes all of this great semicircle (see map, p. 100). Hence we are obliged to coin a term and call it the Fertile Crescent.
In current usage, the Fertile Crescent includes Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan, as well as the surrounding portions of Turkey and Iran. Water sources include the Jordan River. The inner boundary is delimited by the dry climate of the Syrian Desert to the south. Around the outer boundary are the Anatolian and Armenian highlands to the north, the Sahara Desert to the west and the Iranian Plateau to the east.
As crucial as rivers and marshlands were to the rise of civilization in the Fertile Crescent, they were not the only factor. The area is geographically important as the "bridge" between Africa and Eurasia, which has allowed it to retain a greater amount of biodiversity than either Europe or North Africa, where climate changes during the Ice Age led to repeated extinction events when ecosystems became squeezed against the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The Saharan pump theory posits that this Middle Eastern land bridge was extremely important to the modern distribution of Old World flora and fauna, including the spread of humanity.
The area has borne the brunt of the tectonic divergence between the African and Arabian plates and the converging Arabian and Eurasian plates, which has made the region a very diverse zone of high snow-covered mountains.
The Fertile Crescent had many diverse climates, and major climatic changes encouraged the evolution of many "r" type annual plants, which produce more edible seeds than "K" type perennial plants. The region's dramatic variety in elevation gave rise to many species of edible plants for early experiments in cultivation. Most importantly, the Fertile Crescent was home to the eight Neolithic founder crops important in early agriculture (i.e., wild progenitors to emmer wheat, einkorn, barley, flax, chick pea, pea, lentil, bitter vetch), and four of the five most important species of domesticated animals—cows, goats, sheep, and pigs; the fifth species, the horse, lived nearby.[10] The Fertile Crescent flora comprises a high percentage of plants that can self-pollinate, but may also be cross-pollinated.[10] These plants, called "selfers", were one of the geographical advantages of the area because they did not depend on other plants for reproduction.
As well as possessing many sites with the skeletal and cultural remains of both pre-modern and early modern humans (e.g., at Tabun and Es Skhul caves in Israel), later Pleistocene hunter-gatherers, and Epipalaeolithic semi-sedentary hunter-gatherers (the Natufians); the Fertile Crescent is most famous for its sites related to the origins of agriculture. The western zone around the Jordan and upper Euphrates rivers gave rise to the first known Neolithic farming settlements (referred to as Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA)), which date to around 9,000 BCE and includes very ancient sites such as Göbekli Tepe and Jericho (Tell es-Sultan).
This region, alongside Mesopotamia (which lies to the east of the Fertile Crescent, between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates), also saw the emergence of early complex societies during the succeeding Bronze Age. There is also early evidence from the region for writing and the formation of hierarchical state level societies. This has earned the region the nickname "The cradle of civilization".
It is in this region where the first libraries appeared, about 4,500 years ago. The oldest known libraries are found in Nippur (in Sumer) and Ebla (in Syria), both from c. 2500 BC.[11]
Both the Tigris and Euphrates start in the Taurus Mountains of what is modern-day Turkey. Farmers in southern Mesopotamia had to protect their fields from flooding each year, except northern Mesopotamia which had just enough rain to make some farming possible. To protect against flooding, they made levees.[12]
Since the Bronze Age, the region's natural fertility has been greatly extended by irrigation works, upon which much of its agricultural production continues to depend. The last two millennia have seen repeated cycles of decline and recovery as past works have fallen into disrepair through the replacement of states, to be replaced under their successors. Another ongoing problem has been salination—gradual concentration of salt and other minerals in soils with a long history of irrigation.
Prehistoric seedless figs were discovered at Gilgal I in the Jordan Valley, suggesting that fig trees were being planted some 11,400 years ago.[13] Cereals were already grown in Syria as long as 9,000 years ago.[14] Small cats (Felis silvestris) also were domesticated in this region.[15]
Linguistically, the Fertile Crescent was a region of great diversity. Historically, Semitic languages generally prevailed in the lowlands, whilst in the mountainous areas to the east and north a number of generally unrelated languages were found including Elamite, Kassite, and Hurro-Urartian. The precise affiliation of these, and their date of arrival, remain topics of scholarly discussion. However, given lack of textual evidence for the earliest era of prehistory, this debate is unlikely to be resolved in the near future.
The evidence which does exist suggests that by the third millennium BCE and into the second, several language groups already existed in the region. These included:
Links between Hurro-Urartian and Hattic and the indigenous languages of the Caucasus have frequently been suggested, but are not generally accepted.

As I had the days between Christmas and New Year's off, I wanted to do something. Actually I wanted to see an exhibition in Bonn about some rare pictures of the world before 1914 in colour. But when I researched the whole thing I stumbled about the Haus der Geschichte in Bonn. It is a museum dedictated to show the history of the Federal Republic of Germany, so everything that happend here since World War II and is packed with all kinds of exhibits from the last 70 years from an postwar holy communion dress purely made of gauze bandages because the seamstress had nothing else to work with, to an Russian tank. I'm an enthusiast when it comes to history so I was more than happy to swap the expensive photo exhibition for the free Haus der Geschichte when Michael suggested going there instead. But first we visited the special exhibition showcasing the special history Germany hawith the US. It showed how the American Occupation after the war was viewed by Continue reading

Yarn along 01 – A fresh start
I was pretty happy knitting wise when Christmas was over. First because I had finally finished all the Christmas knitting which included two Honey Cowls, three Phoebe Sweaters, one Cardigan for Merry and one Ode to Veera Cowl. And second because I had not knitted much over the whole Christmas days. So when I came back home I was ready to start something new. Now I can happily join Ginny's first Yarn Along of 2014.

Happy 2nd Blog birthday
It's been two years today that I opened up this blog. and again this year the blog evolved. I didn't do much travelling so the knitting took over and then I couldn't stop and had to throw in a bit of nailpolish too. Then I designed a replicate of the cowl Katniss is wearing in the second Hunger Games movie. When I did this in summer and blogged about it, nobody seemed to care much but after the movie came out people started showing up making the visitor numbers soar and I was super surprised about this. Now overall in 2013 I have:
Secret Santa Gift Reveal
Like last year, I took part in Natalie's Secret Santa Swap over at her blog Marigold's Loft. While last year's gifts seemed to come in quite quickly, this year we all waited quite a while for them. I was really worried about my gift but it seems to have made its way to Sarah at This Little Life on Mine Plus 2 too. My box of christmas joy actually chose to come so late to Düsseldorf, that I was already in London. But when I came home today, I found a note in my post box and went to pick it up at the post office.When I opened my box I was really stunned. Not only did I get one gift, but five! There was a lovely scraf with a lace pattern, an flower ornament (still have to decide where this will go), some beewax christmas ornaments (these will unfortunately have to wait till next Christmas before they'll be showcased), a paper star (so cool, we were making these too when I was a kid. I think next year Michael's nieces will get the proper paper for that and I will make some with them!) and last but definitively not least Carrie's daughter made stitch markers for me! Let me dwell on that a little: Before I started using ravelry and learning about lace patterns and knitting in the round, I didn't even know they existed. Then suddenly I realised stitch markers were super practical. But except for some weird plastic thingies I own only one proper stitch marker and had to make makeshift loops of yarn when ever I needed more. And now I got not only a second one but four! This is usually enough to make a whole sweater. So cool! Plus they are lovely to look at too! Thank you! If you now are curious on what else was gifted, here you can check out what the others got.
Merry christmas everybody
Today is wednesday, the usual Yarn Along Day. But it is also Christmas so I guess, not much update on knitting. Everything was finished in time for Christmas, fits and was greatly appreciated and I'm enjoying a little knitting free time before I can finally start something for myself again. A little reading update: I finally finished Pride & Prejudice on my iPad mainly because I spend 4 hours on Monday the 23rd sitting in a plane on the runway of London City Airport waiting for the storm to cease.
We made it to Frankfurt thanks to the most wonderful captain of the flight BA 8734 who Continue reading
Last weekend before christmas
As Michael's family lives in London he spends Christmas there and as Christmas is so conveniently located in the week I took a plane on Friday. Michael and his mother had taken one flight earlier but when I booked I wasn't sure if I could take half the day off and went in the evening.
Since then we've been having loads of family time. Michael's nieces have kept us busy during the day and in the evening we have been feasting on lovely stuff. Continue reading
Stricken lernen 4
So, jetzt gehts ans Eingemachte, oder besser gesagt: Los gehts mit den ersten Mustern, denn aus den ersten Maschen soll ja auch etwas entstehen. Die ersten Muster sind ganz einfach, aber man muss sie auch lesen können.

Philippine President Benigno S. Aquino III has called for greater collaboration between the Asia-Pacific region's governments and businesses to ensure stability needed to foster economic opportunities for more people in the changing global environment.
"Confronted by an increasingly complex, interconnected, and unpredictable world, we are all challenged to look at trends that may cause disruption, so that we can act with resilience and craft a response with inclusivity at its core, ensuring no one is left behind," said President Aquino.
"Regardless of the sector you belong to, the work of innovation begins with the correct appreciation of the problem, which leads to the correct crafting of the solution," he continued. "Policymakers must provide the environment that nurtures this."
Areas of focus included next steps towards a Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific (FTAAP), a concept introduced by APEC Business Advisory Council to APEC members in 2004 by the private sector. The pursuit of region-wide growth through services market opening and development; infrastructure finance expansion; support for micro, small and medium enterprise growth; and the promotion of sustainable development and the rule of law were additional points of attention.
"Global megatrends are changing the landscape and are creating new challenges on economies, business and society as a whole," explained Doris Magsaysay-Ho, 2015 Chair of the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), pointing to demographic and social change, rapid urbanization, global economic power shifts, climate change and resource scarcity, and the impact of new technology. "Consumer demands are rapidly changing, compelling everyone to review business models and delivery systems."
"We applaud the recent conclusion of the Trans Pacific Partnership, call for the completion of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership and are encouraged by the progress of the Pacific Alliance as important pathways to the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific," Magsaysay-Ho, noted, adding that ABAC is now working to identify next generation business and investment issues so that the FTAAP becomes responsive to the needs of business big and small alike."
ABAC representatives suggested APEC members increase their focus on the services sector as the single biggest contributor to employment and output in the region. They underscored that most barriers to services trade are structural in nature and require ambitious policy and regulatory reform while noting ABAC's contribution to a new services cooperation framework on the table among APEC members.
"Global megatrends offer new growth opportunities especially for small and medium enterprises," said Magsaysay-Ho, advocating for inclusive business models and a policy environment to support the internationalization of firms in the sector through e-commerce. "Unlocking the remarkable potential of entrepreneurs needs a robust innovation ecosystem."
"We are offering to serve not just as a resource for knowledge-sharing but as partners in developing policies and action that will usher in an age of shared prosperity for APEC and the region's people, she concluded."

Musharrafs bank details submitted to Pak court: report
The details were collected by the State Bank of Pakistan on request of the FIA after an anti-terrorism court declared the former President a "proclaimed offender" or fugitive for failing to cooperate with investigators probing former premier Benazir Bhutto`s assassination.
The anti-terrorism court, which is conducting the trial of five suspects charged with involvement in Bhutto`s killing, has also issued a permanent arrest warrant for Musharraf.
Prosecutors had asked the court to seize Musharraf`s moveable and immovable assets, following which the judge directed authorities to submit details of the assets.
The information has been submitted to the anti-terrorism court, The News daily quoted its sources as saying.
Meanwhile, a Pakistani court has re-issued a notice to Musharraf seeking a response from him to a petition asking it to direct authorities to remove all references made to him in public and official records showing him as President.
Justice Azmat Saeed Sheikh of the Lahore High Court re-issued the notice yesterday in response to the petition filed by former President Muhammad Rafiq Tarar.
Earlier, Deputy Attorney General Zia Al-Qamar appeared in the court and informed it that a report had been received from the finance department on the matter and would be submitted in court soon.
The court was also told that the Accountant General of Pakistan and Musharraf had not filed their responses to the petition as yet.
Justice Sheikh directed the Deputy Attorney General to file comments on behalf of the Accountant General.
The court then adjourned the matter till the first week of October.
Tarar had asked the court in his petition to declare that Musharraf was not entitled to receive any privileges as he was not elected President and had come to power through a military coup.
He asked the court to pass directions to remove all references made to Musharraf in public and official records showing him as President.
