IN: ATV Parts Manufacturer to Launch Operations, Create 30 New Jobs
Armor Plastics, a new plastic coating company specializing in aftermarket ATV parts, announced plans to launch operations in southeast Indiana. The company, which is a joint venture between Ohio businessman Tom Faris and Madison-based SuperATV, will revitalize a vacant industrial site and plans to create up to 30 new jobs over the next few years.
"By encouraging regional development and quality of place planning, Indiana is creating culturally- and economically-vibrant communities that are attractive to businesses and talented workers," said Elaine Bedel, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC). "We're so excited that Armor Plastics is choosing to fuel its growth in southeast Indiana, redeveloping a once-thriving industrial site, enhancing the quality of place in Madison and creating good jobs in the community."
Armor Plastics plans to invest $13.4 million to purchase, redevelop and equip the more than 145,000-square-foot building at 1200 Clifty Drive along State Road 7 in Madison. The facility, which was built by Williamson Metal Works in 1946 and then acquired by the Armor Group in 1999, has remained vacant since closing in 2009. Armor Plastics, which will designate the 28.5-acre site as its corporate headquarters, plans to repurpose the property into a state-of-the-art manufacturing campus, allowing the company to utilize its patented coating technology to produce door panels, windows and windshields for UTVs, ATVs and other recreational and terrain vehicles.
The company, which recently closed on its purchasing agreement and expects the new facility to be fully operational by 2023, plans to create up to 30 new jobs in Indiana. Armor Plastics will begin hiring for customer service, operations, maintenance and shipping and receiving personnel starting in summer 2019. Interested applicants may apply through the SuperATV careers page at www.superatv.com or email HR@superatv.com.
"I'm so grateful to the city of Madison, Jefferson County Industrial Development Coporation and the IEDC for pursuing this partnership to bring more jobs and investment to southeast Indiana," said Harold Hunt, partner at Armor Plastics and founder and president of SuperATV. "We believe the future of Madison and Indiana is bright, and we're excited to grow here for years to come."
This new venture will merge innovation and manufacturing tradition, utilizing the industry expertise of Hunt and SuperATV alongside Faris' new coatings process that improves the pliability, reliability and strength of fiberglass and plastics used in the manufacturing of ATV parts. Through its partnership, Armor Plastics will leverage SuperATV's leadership in aftermarket ATV and UTV parts and accessories to fuel its growth in Indiana and expand its U.S. client base.
"With today's announcement, the Hunt family has again proven their commitment to Madison by adding jobs and investment in another property that has been vacant for over a decade," said Madison Mayor Damon Welch. "This project will improve one of our main gateways into the community – which was identified as a priority by our Stellar Communities plan – while adding economic opportunity for our residents."
The IEDC offered Armor Plastics up to $210,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company's job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The IEDC also offered the company up to $2.6 million in conditional tax credits from the Industrial Recovery Tax Credit (DINO) program, which provides an incentive to invest in former industrial sites and improve quality of place in Indiana communities. The city of Madison will consider additional incentives in support of the project.
"We're always looking for ways to help our local businesses expand and grow right in Madison," said Matt Wirth, executive director of the Jefferson County Industrial Development Corporation. "We know that Madison's economy is strong, but the Hunt family's investment is another vote of confidence in the quality of life, workforce and overall future of our community."
Today's news comes on the heels of Riverton's announcement to revitalize the historic Eagle Cotton Mill building in downtown Madison into a new 80-room boutique hotel that will include a conference center, restaurant, guest amenities and enhanced outdoor spaces with views of the Ohio River. Indiana is committed to helping build vibrant communities by investing in the rehabilitation or remodeling of former industrial facilities and supporting quality of place projects throughout the state.

What better time to talk about tropical fruit than in the middle of citrus season and before stone fruit season starts. Pineapples, Mangos and Cherimoyas come to the top of our mind. Pineapples are one of the most difficult fruit to tell when they are ripe. We have never been able to find a sure fire way to tell when a pineapple is ripe. In reality it is almost impossible but the best way to tell ripeness is by the fragrant smell at the base of the fruit. Some of the other ways we have found to be true are to look for a bright gold color around the "eyes" at the base of the pineapple. The higher up the golden yellow color goes the more even the flavor will be. Avoid wrinkled skin, a reddish/bronze color and a vinegar smell, all signs the pineapple is over ripe. We would love to hear how you determine if a pineapple is ripe. Please post your suggestions on our Facebook.
Organic pineapples are available year round although supply can be affected at times by heavy rains. The main areas of production are Costa Rica, Mexico and Hawaii. Pineapples can be stored on the counter if you plan to eat them within 2 days. We do not recommend storing any tropical fruit under 55 degrees because this can discolor the flesh and affect the flavor. Do not store in the refrigerator because the average temperature is around 38 degrees.
There is no need to buy a fancy gadget to remove the core. Lay the pineapple on its side and cut off the top and bottom with a sharp knife. Slice the rest of the pineapple into rings about 1 inch thick. Lay the rings on the cutting board and using a paring knife gently go around the inside of the skin until the fruit pops out. I like to cut the entire piece of fruit up but if the core is too tough for you it is good frozen and added to a smoothie.
Cherimoyas are one of my favorite unusual tropical fruits. Cherimoyas are conical or heart shaped green fruit covered in scallops on the surface of the skin. The flesh is white and creamy and dotted with nickel sized large black seeds. The seeds are toxic so make sure to pick them out! The California variety flavor has suggestions of mangos, pineapples, banana, papaya, strawberries and vanilla custard. Cherimoyas are grown in California from Santa Barbara all the way down to San Diego.
Look for firm, unripe fruit that are heavy for their size and let them ripen at room temperature out of the sunlight. Cherimoyas are a delicate tropical fruit and should be treated with care so they don't bruise. The flesh will yield to gentle pressure and the skin will turn slightly brown as it becomes ripe. Once you notice the first sign of ripeness wait another day or two to eat but not much longer because the sugars in the flesh will start to ferment. The simplest way to eat a cherimoya is to scoop out the flesh with a spoon but my favorite way is to cut it in half, wrap it in plastic and put it in the freezer. When you scoop it out it is creamy like ice cream.
The small kidney shaped Atualfo Mango and the Kent mango are the two main varieties we see during this time of year. The Atualfo mango has a vibrant yellow golden color and the delicious flavor and absence of stringy fibers make it a huge hit. The pit is very thin which means there is more flesh to eat. As the Ataulfo becomes ripe the skin turns a deep golden color and begins to wrinkle. Ataulfos are ready to eat when the fruit yields to slight pressure. They should be left at room temperature until they are ready to eat. Ataulfos are also known as Honey, Manila, Yellow, Baby and Champagne mangos.
Kent mangos have an almost completely smooth flesh with very little fibers. Kent's are not covered in the typical red blush we associate with a ripe mango. The outside skin is mostly green and yellow with a little red blush- but don't let the color throw you off. The sweet flavor and smooth flesh of the Kent mango makes them worth seeking out. Kent mangos will have a yellow undertone with speckled dots as they are ripening. The mango will feel soft to the touch and yield to gentle pressure when ripe. Slight wrinkling of the skin is also a good thing and another sign of ripeness. The Ataulfo and Kent mangos main production areas are Peru, Mexico and Ecuador.
For the full story on tropical fruit listen to Earl's "What's In Season" update this weekend on An Organic Conversation. The main topic of the show will be "Allergies: What's Your Reaction?" You can catch all of Earl's produce updates on the AOC website or by downloading the podcasts on Itunes.


I've been fuming for days. or is it weeks? Years.
It's such an insult when you say "Gotta walk on eggshells when yo'ure talking to Sahara" because really, that's how i feel about you.
you claim you want to have a better relationship with me but how can you do that not knowing ANYTHING about me? And so i try to inform you. and not just superficial. what's my favorite color? Do i like knitting or crocheting better? What am i doing this weekend. No, i want to share real, emotional things.
And so it is I who walks on eggshells, scared shitless of saying what i really feel for fear of being dragged down into a battle of nonsense over the past when i am only interested in the present. the current insult, whatever it was, is what i want to talk about.
And the current insult? the refusal to understand this very concept right here. that getting to know me means i'm not going to just share the sentimental stuff, the superficial stuff, but also the painful stuff. Maybe you bailed before you realized that those three things, and more, occur when you have kids. maybe your mom baild on you before she could teach you that. I've only been Mom for a year, but honestly, i learned about all the facets of having relationships with people long before i had a crocodile daughter of my own.
I'm stepping out of the line of succession, breaking the chain of abandonment (even if you refuse to admit to that word). I'm staying around. i'm listening to the good and the bad as well as the inconsequential. and i will not base my hopes and disappointments on teh imaginary children i want to have, but instead on the flesh and blood children who actually find their way into the world from the place where i formed them, not as part of me, but as part of themselves.

Speaking to Policy Exchange yesterday, shadow foreign secretary William Hague gave a speech entitled: "The new EU treaty: the case for a referendum". It is available here.
The most important thing about the speech is that Hague actually made it. At the tail end of the Parliamentary session, it locks in the demand for a referendum on the treaty-to-be firmly into Tory policy. Leaving it to gestate over the summer break means that it will have the maturity of established policy by the time the MPs return and the treaty is in place.
Furthermore, Hague's main theme is simple enough. He calls in aid the new trade minister Digby, Lord Jones, who says, "this is a con to call this a treaty - it's not. It's exactly the same - it's a constitution". Actually, it is both but the shadow secretary thinks Digby Jones is right about it being a constitution. And he is.
Open Europe - preening itself on having got out the first translation of the treaty (it didn't, but never mind, even if theirs is better) – estimates that ten out of 250 proposals in the new treaty are different from the proposals in the original EU constitution. In other words, 96 percent of the text is the same as the rejected constitution.
At the heart of Hague's argument, he says, is "a simple syllogism": one, that at the last election every major party promised a referendum on the EU constitution. Two, that this new treaty is the constitution in all but name so, three, that we should have that promised referendum. Failure to put it to a referendum would be a fundamental breach of trust between the government and voters.
If this was anything else but party politics, that would be enough. This is a constitution in all but name and Labour did promise a referendum on the constitution. So we should have one. But this is party politics and the Labour tribe has, so far, rejected the idea.
To win the game, therefore, Hague has to discredit his opponent's arguments, not just to the satisfaction of a friendly audience but in a manner that can withstand robust attack or outright denial.
As we know, the government is relying on the mantra that the "mandate" declares the "constitutional concept" to have been "abolished" and it is this to which Hague also refers. But, rather than take the argument head on and expose it for the dissembling that it is, Hague sidesteps it, dismissing this by saying that "this simple relabelling has little, if any effect on the substance." An open goal thus goes by default.
Nevertheless, the man is on stronger ground when he tells his audience that it is "important to understand that this Treaty's full impact lies not merely in the shifts of power that it would create immediately but in the processes it would set in train." He adds, "It is not a final settlement, nor is it meant to be one. Instead it is a basis for evolution."
That indeed is the case and, rightly, Hague argues that the posts of president of the European Council and the EU foreign minister, with his diplomatic service, are intended to grow in power and weight. And he gets the UN situation right, saying that the foreign minister, "who would gain for the first time the right to speak for EU Member States at the UN Security Council," will in time not merely supplement member states' voices in foreign affairs, but replace them.
On that basis, he claims, this new treaty would mean the same fundamental restructuring of the EU and shift of power from the member states to the EU as the constitution. Thus does he dismiss the government's "red lines" as a ploy to distract attention from what had been agreed elsewhere: not red lines but red herrings, he says.
Further in though, Hague – eyes wide shut – walks into the huge elephant trap that Cameron has been fabricating for him. The tragedy of this situation, declares Hague, is that it is completely unnecessary:
Had there been a British Government prepared to show a modicum of leadership and let our partners understand that the constitution's rejection was not a problem we would not now be wasting our time navel-gazing about yet another push for more powers for EU institutions but would be able to concentrate on the issues where the EU can really add value: global competitiveness, global warming and global poverty.
This should have been the time for a confident British government to give a lead to those who question the need for a new treaty at all, he adds.
This is the trouble with the Hague speech – good in parts, like the proverbial curate's egg. On the one hand, it was pedestrian, predictable and offered nothing that the government has not seen coming and cannot dismiss with the greatest of ease. On the other, he holds himself and his Party hostage to fortune with his comments on global warning. The "colleagues" have seen him coming and must be mightily delighted with the speech.
Nothing was there that could be construed as opening a new line of attack – not for Hague any exploration of the role of the European Council, nor of how the Council of Ministers will be bound by the new aims and objectives to serve the interests of the Union rather than their respective nations, nor even of how the treaty is attempting to turn Parliament into a subordinate institution of the Union.
These were matters which, in a long speech, he could have rehearsed. They are ones which strike at the heart of the fundamental change in the relationship between the member states and the Union, which the treaty brings.
But neither did Hague attempt to address the Conservative's own "elephant in the room" – the Maastricht treaty. Time and time again, whenever the Tories call for a referendum, the government argues that they did not offer a referendum back in 1992-3 when the treaty came before the House – and that gave away more powers.
Invoking the new aims and objectives of the institutions, embodied in the treaty-to-be, would be enough to lay that ghost to rest, but Hague chose to ignore it. And if he cannot deal with it in front of a friendly audience, how will he fare in a hostile environment?
Thus, while some may say it was a good speech, even now the BBC website is chipping away at the edges while even the more supportive Telegraph is having to concede points to Miliband. Hague has not yet landed the killer blow.
But, maybe, it doesn't really matter. The Daily Mail has been running an online poll and, so far, 91 percent of respondents are calling for a referendum.
It could, therefore, be enough that Hague simply accuses Brown of being guilty of a "flagrant breach" of Labour's 2005 election manifesto for failing to grant a referendum. That is a hard charge to beat and one that could, just, drive the man to distraction. The Mail certainly seems to think so and with The Sun also on the case, things might not be a bleak as they look, despite Hague's less than adequate performance.

Surabaya, Indonesia | 20 - 21 April 2013
We, APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade (MRT), met on 20-21 April 2013 in Surabaya, Indonesia under the chairmanship of H.E. Mr. Gita Irawan Wirjawan, Minister of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia.
We welcomed the participation in the meeting of the Deputy Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Mr. Alejandro Jara, the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council (PECC), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the APEC Secretariat, and the Member of the Board (Minister) Responsible for Trade of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), Mr. Andrey Slepnev.
The tenuous global economic recovery has strained on economies, trade, investment and future prosperity. But history has shown that the Asia-Pacific region bounces back from challenges and has become stronger and more resilient.
It is only befitting that APEC's theme for 2013, ―Resilient Asia-Pacific, Engine of Global Growth‖, becomes our call to action—towards a vision of an Asia-Pacific region that is stronger, more buoyant and more robust. And we are called upon to remain resilient and to fulfill our role as the engine of the world's economic growth.
The Global Economy: Looking for Long-term Global Growth Prospects
With significant policy actions, the global economy is on a recovery path and tail risks have greatly been diminished. Under this circumstance, the Asia-Pacific region continues to be emerging as the strategic and economic pivot of the world. Significant milestones have been reached through APEC. Through cooperation in trade and investment, APEC has allowed economies to capture the benefits of their comparative advantages, supply chains and markets. APEC economies have taken numerous concrete and bold trade and investment liberalisation measures unilaterally and collectively. Also, APEC economies are committed to further promoting structural reforms. The measures taken by APEC members have contributed significantly to the sustained economic growth in the region ever since.
But a number of challenges still lie ahead of us. Slow global economic growth, resulting in decreasing of global trade and investment, connectivity, education, natural disasters, health, poverty and environmental issues, including climate change, could impact our region's economic landscape. These challenges require collective solutions for the benefit of all our people.
We share a conviction that we need to be part of a better, more integrated, seamless Asia-Pacific: a regional space where shared responsibility drives our efforts at solving increasingly complex challenges and creating opportunities for a prosperous and stable future. We will strive to bolster our cooperation in order to effectively address challenges as they come and to tap economic potentials of the region. APEC needs to remain attuned to further opportunities to promote sustainable growth, improve living standards and reduce poverty.
As the basis of our discussions here in Surabaya, we shared the understanding of the current state of the global economy and considered the following specific efforts:
We adopted separate statement for this purpose.
Continuing on Attaining the Bogor Goals
We reaffirm our commitment to attain the Bogor Goals of free and open trade and investment towards 2020. We reiterate our commitment to address remaining issues that will help APEC economies to achieve the Bogor Goals. This includes commitment to bridge and to identify the development gap and assist developing economies to achieve the Bogor Goals by 2020. We also encourage developed economies to take more concrete actions towards attaining Bogor Goals according to the outcomes of the Report on APEC's 2010 Economies' Progress towards the Bogor Goals.
We reaffirm the importance of APEC's meaningful contribution, intellectual inputs and leadership guiding the processes of FTA/RTA development in the Asia-Pacific region. We will continue to promote broader integration which includes trade and investment liberalization and facilitation in the APEC region. Taking note of various ongoing capacity building efforts within the framework of setting the stage for an eventual FTAAP, we agreed to report regularly to APEC and share information on developments related to FTA/RTA initiatives, including on the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership with a view to promoting transparency of various FTA/RTA initiatives and analizing the issue of openess and convergence within the APEC framework.
We strongly support APEC progress in implementation of the action plan framework on capacity building needs initiatives (CBNI).
We welcome the trade policy dialogue to discuss the economic impact of local content requirements in promoting economic growth and employment. We take note of the initiative to continue discussion among officials aimed at enhancing better understanding of the issues and formulating a way forward.
We reaffirm APEC Leaders' commitment in Vladivostok in 2012 to promote green growth and to seek practical, trade-enhancing solutions to address global environmental challenges, and their commitment in 2011 to reduce tariffs on environmental goods to 5 percent or less by the end of 2015, and we emphasize concrete actions to facilitate steady implementation of our Leaders' commitments. We are convinced that such liberalization will assist us in achieving the Bogor Goals and further contribute to our sustainable development and green growth goals. We further emphasize Leaders' instruction in Honolulu in 2011 to undertake capacity building activities relevant to implementing these actions, including exchanging views, experiences, and best practices to promote EGS trade and investment.
In view of APEC's priorities this year on "attaining the Bogor Goals" and ―achieving sustainable growth with equity‖, we note the aspiration of some economies to further liberalize trade in goods, so as to address development needs, reduce poverty, and facilitate the involvement of SMEs in global supply chains, and that consensus should be built to advance this aspiration. We take note of Indonesia's proposal to include CPO and rubber in the APEC EGs List.
We welcome APEC's activities in the area of services trade liberalization and facilitation, including through expansion of the Services Trade Access Requirements (STAR) Database. We also welcome the ongoing practical, business-orientated work aimed at identifying good practice regulation of trade and investment in key services sectors
We confirm the importance of improving the investment climate in the APEC region, including through continued implementation of the APEC Investment Facilitation Action Plan. We instruct officials to intensify efforts to address impediments to increased flows of investment in the region, including those relating to private financing of infrastructure. We welcome the Public-Private Dialogue on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and encourage officials to work with the private sector to build and improve upon CSR practices, including transparency.
With regard to the progress of the implementation of APEC New Strategy for Structural Reform (ANSSR), as endorsed by APEC Leaders in 2010 to promote more balanced, inclusive, and sustainable growth and development through targeting behind-the-border barriers to trade, we note the ongoing work of each APEC Economies to report their individual plans in the 2013 ANSSR Mid-Term Progress Report. We trust that the report would reflect the accomplishments of APEC economies, including their challenges in implementing their plans in structural reform towards the achievement of their objectives in 2015.
We applaud continuous efforts to implement our Leaders' Agreement in 2011 to strengthen by November 2013, the implementation of Good Regulatory Practices (GRP) initiative, particularly in the areas of ensuring internal coordination of regulatory work, assessing regulatory impact, and conducting public consultation. We support the activities that have been carried out to further this work on strengthening the implementation of the GRP including through capacity building activities and collaborative work with other fora/sub fora and international organizations. We encourage officials to further discuss how to strengthen the implementation of GRP beyond 2013, taking into consideration the circumstances of individual economies.
Industry Dialogues continue to enrich our agenda and provide concrete deliverables that contribute to attaining Bogor Goals. We welcome new work to develop principles for life sciences development; facilitate the commercialization of research; and initiatives to support the establishment of a Center of Excellence for regulatory sciences cooperation. We look forward to concrete deliverables to assure the quality and integrity of the medical products supply chain. We note the Chemical Dialogue's intention to deepen work on regulatory cooperation and convergence and welcome the status report on the implementation of GHS in the APEC region. We also welcome the work plan to advance regulatory cooperation and convergence in the food sector.
We reaffirm our commitment to promote effective, non-discriminatory, and market-driven innovation policy, including through developing and finalizing implementation practices by October 2013.
Achieving Sustainable Growth with Equity
We note the efforts made by APEC this year in the area of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs, including youth and women entrepreneurs). SMEs, including entrepreneurs and women, are crucial driving force for employment and development of the economy. To ensure that, SMEs, many of which are women-owned can participate in and benefit from international trade, we reaffirm the importance of addressing trade investment and regulatory barriers for SMEs, and support efforts to enhance SMEs' global competitiveness, business ethics, and their participation in Global Value Chains. We instruct officials to continue dedicating efforts and work in these areas.
Recognizing the importance of cross-border mechanisms to disseminate low-carbon technologies to achieve sustainable growth, we take note a Joint Crediting Mechanism Seminar to be held during SOM3.
We acknowledge that collaboration between government and private sector, particularly farmers, private investment and the agri-food trade are critical to achieving food security in the region. We welcome the focus of the Policy Partnership on Food Security (PPFS) in aligning farmers, the private sector and governments in the achievement of global food security through strategic partnership that comprises of constructive involvement of the private sector, farmers and government. We note the importance of not applying WTO-inconsistent trade measures in pursuing food security.
We instruct officials and encourage the private sector to continue pursuing this initiative and to develop a strategic, results-oriented and comprehensive 2020 Road Map to achieve the long-term goal of setting up a food security structure by 2020 sufficient to provide lasting food security to economies in the Asia-Pacific region. We underscore the importance of PPFS and Committee on Trade and Investment (CTI) coordination on food security issues related to international trade and investment. We agree that agricultural trade plays a key role in achieving food security. To this end we reaffirm the value of an open and rules-based multilateral trading system as it provides predictability and stability in agricultural trade. We agreed on the need to sustain the benefits of globalization and open markets, highlighting the crucial importance of maintaining science-based standards, rejecting protectionism and encouraging the development of regionally integrated markets. We also welcome the efforts to increase agricultural production and productivity on a sustainable basis through boosting investment and actively adopting innovative technologies.
We recognize the continued efforts of the Food Safety Cooperation Forum (FSCF) and its Partnership Training Institute Network (PTIN) in developing food safety capac ity in the region, contributing to the alignment of domestic regulations with international standards. This work is strengthening food supply chains in the region and providing new opportunities for trading in safe and quality food. We welcome the establishment of the Food Safety Incident Network (FSIN) which will enhance our capacity to deal with food safety events in the region.
We welcome the successful launch of the Policy Partnership on Science, Technology and Innovation (PPSTI). We instruct officials to finalize the institutional building process and identify the structure of PPSTI's key priority work areas by AMM in October 2013. Recognizing the importance of science and technology cooperation in fostering innovative growth by continuing to identif y practices to promote effective, non-discriminatory and inclusive innovation policy, we instruct officials to take concrete steps in the PPSTI to enhance cooperation among key innovation stakeholders – government, academia, and businesses.
Recognizing the increasing role of the oceans and fisheries in our daily livelihood and their contribution to economic growth, we welcome the initiatives and activities promoting the mainstreaming of ocean-related issues in APEC in various areas of cooperation, including through existing regional initiatives such as the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security ranging from, among others, exchanging best practices in combating Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing to food security, sustainable fisheries management and trade, including trade in sustainably harvested fisheries products and aquaculture, energy, tourism, science and technology, transportation and marine connectivity in achieving sustainable and inclusive growth.
We are also mindful that healthy oceans are crucial for achieving sustainable ocean and marine resources and therefore we encourage officials to continue working on ways to address challenges in this area.
We take note of Indonesia`s initiative to develop an APEC Ocean-related Activities Work Plan for 2013 that promotes cross-fora collaboration and will be circulated after SOM 2 for further discussion at SOM 3. The work plan would be essential to propose and implement concrete activities, initiatives and capacity building projects on the mainstreaming of ocean-related issues in APEC.
We recognize there is a clear and important role for APEC member economies to show leadership towards rationalizing and phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption, fulfilling the commitment in reducing fossil fuel energy consumption as outlined in the 2011 Leaders' Declaration. In this respect, we note Indonesia's initiative to hold a Conference on Clean, Renewable, and Sustainability in the Asia Pacific prior to the AELM, which focuses on boosting investments in the renewable energy sector; capacity building and technical cooperation; and fostering cooperation among APEC member economies and with private sector partners in clean and renewable energy development projects.
Promoting Connectivity
We are committed to working towards a more connected and resilient Asia-Pacific to ease the flow of goods, services, capital, and people in the region. Greater physical, institutional and people-to-people connectivity will strengthen regional economic integration, contribute to economic growth as well as being a significant factor towards enhanced trade.
We instruct Senior Officials to develop a unifying, forward-looking, and ambitious APEC Framework on Connectivity this year to deepen and broaden the region's connectivity around and across the Pacific Ocean and within APEC's archipelagic and continental regions.
The Framework will also bring greater coherence, and add impetus to ongoing connectivity-related work in APEC, including physical infrastructure, the Supply Chain Connectivity Framework, trade facilitation, structural reform and good regulatory practices, the cross-border education initiative, science and technology, as well as the movement of people, which may include tourists, business people, professionals and workers, women and youth.
A key pillar of the connectivity framework is the development of physical infrastructure. We are committed to facilitating growth in our region through infrastructure development and investment, in line with the five growth attributes of the 2010 APEC Leaders' Growth Strategy: Balanced, Inclusive, Sustainable, Innovative, and Secure Growth.
Well-designed, sustainable and resilient infrastructure development and investment can enhance economic growth and increase productivity, and provide significant positive flow-on effects including improved access to markets, job creation and manufacturing growth.
APEC economies need to develop and to improve existing transport, information and communications, energy and other physical infrastructure to deepen regional economic integration and help ensuring sustained growth. Given the scale of infrastructure requirements across a number of sectors in our region over the next decade and beyond, we emphasize the importance of private sector involvement to realize these needs.
We recognize the importance of developing a coordinated approach to promoting infrastructure development and investment within and between our economies through the creation of a multi-year plan to improve physical connectivity in Asia-Pacific. We emphasize the importance of building capacity to design, develop and execute public private partnerships. We also urge economies to emulate, adapt and link best practices and models existing in the region and create value added to those work building on APEC strengths and sub-regional linkages.
We request officials to develop an overarching framework that outline work streams and key areas of focus and establish practical and concrete ways to overcome current impediments to infrastructure investment and development. We recognize that the work streams that flow from it will complement the important work in this area being undertaken in the G20 and other fora.
To improve physical connectivity, we suggest that the Transportation Ministers produce a concrete outcome with a view to promoting more sustainable and resilient transportation related infrastructure in the coming 8th TMM in Tokyo.
We also reaffirm the growing importance of submarine cables to regional and global connectivity, and encourage increased awareness and continued cooperation within APEC.
We support continued work on the APEC Supply-Chain Connectivity Framework Action Plans towards achieving our shared commitment of a ten percent improvement in supply chain performance in terms of reduction in time, cost, and uncertainty of moving goods and services through the Asia-Pacific region by 2015, taking into consideration circumstances of individual economies. We welcome the interim assessment of the Supply Chain Connectivity Framework Action Plan undertaken by APEC's Policy Support Unit that shows some progress has been made in the overall performance of supply chain transactions. In this regard, we reiterate the importance of further simplification of customs procedures in line with the international standards such as ones developed by the World Custom Organization (WCO). We look forward to the multi-year project on Enhancing Logistic Performance through Training and Networking for APEC Local/Regional Logistics Sub-providers.
We note the progress made to adopt a more systematic approach to reaching our supply chain performance target through needs analysis and capacity building, and to this end, we request officials to inject new momentum to their work in addressing existing chokepoints in supply chains, to ensure we are able to fulfill our ambitious APEC-wide 2015 supply chain performance target, in particular to facilitate SMEs participation in global trade.
We share the importance to enhance value chain resilience, and to advance work to establish more interconnected and resilient APEC region. We emphasize the importance of work on improving reliability of supply chains connectivity through effective risk management and response.

BBQ Pork Char Siu ($19.95)
Finding a good location for a party on Oahu is almost as exciting as discovering a secret beach on a crowded island. So, let your emotions flow because there's a spot that serves as a wonderful venue for any celebration — The Mandalay. "We have everything you need to make your party successful," says Larry Chan, owner of The Mandalay. "We have it all."
Located in the heart of downtown Honolulu, The Mandalay couldn't be more central. The handsome building, with a limestone and tile mural of a sweeping ocean wave, is easy to find, tucked between Alii Place and Central Pacific Plaza. And parking with validation is free after 5 p.m. on weekdays, and all day Saturday and Sunday at Bishop Square right across the street.
Inside, the decor is elegant and subtle, with subdued lighting, crimson tablecloths, etched glass doors and porcelain vases. And the restaurant features a small but fully stocked bar.
Shrimp with Honey Walnut ($19.95)
"We've had events with up to 400 people," notes Chan, "but we cater to groups of any size, we have separate, smaller private rooms to choose from."
The restaurant is equipped to host large gatherings, as it can provide a stage, sound system, and state-of-theart audio/video equipment, with an expert to run them.
"The Mandalay isn't an ordinary Chinese restaurant, it's modernized and upgraded," Chan says. "Our banquet services (managed by Chan's wife Linda) are great for any occasion, and we can work with your budget."
Whenever possible, the restaurant accommodates parties beyond the regular 8 p.m. closing time.
"For private functions, we can work with customers who want to stay later," Chan adds. "You can't ask people to leave when they're having fun."
Golden Crispy Chicken ($45 whole chicken)
A scrumptious selection of dishes may be found on The Mandalay's regular menu, and many are also on its lunch and dinner banquet menus. These include Shrimp with Honey Walnut ($19.95), a generous portion of walnuts and shrimp, lightly battered and fried. Peking Duck with Buns ($20 half, $38 whole) is another crisp and fragrant choice that is served with pillowy steamed buns and plum sauce.
Beef with Bitter Melon ($13.95) can be made with pork or chicken, if preferred. BBQ Pork Char Siu ($19.95), which serves up to four diners, requires a day's advance notice to order. The secret of this delicious dish is a long period of marination.
"It's a specialty of our chef, and everybody raves over it," says Chan. "It can also be ordered for banquets or in larger portions for bigger parties."
Mixed Seafood with Vegetables in Taro Basket ($21 small, $48 large)
Another special item that requires a day's advance notice is Golden Crispy Chicken ($45 whole chicken), a delicious revelation that is succu-lent and tender. And Mixed Seafood with Vegetables in Taro Basket ($21 small, $48 large) features a handmade shredded taro nest, which is deep-fried and filled with shrimp, calamari, scallops, fish and seasonal vegetables.
Friendly and accommodating, with an extensive menu of fine Chinese cuisine, The Mandalay is a wonderful location for a romantic dinner for two or a joyous celebration with hundreds of friends and family members — and everything in between.
Find Fresh Dim Sum
As quaint as they may seem, dim sum carts have disappeared from many Chinese restaurants. The Mandalay is no exception. "We used to have carts, but times are changing," explains owner Larry Chan, who says most restaurants in China have eliminated them as well. "Our dim sum is made by hand daily and steamed to order to keep everything fresh as possible." More than 30 di~ erent items, ranging in price from $2.95-$6.95, are available from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Pleasing Plates
Just mauka of its Alakea Street entrance, The Mandalay has a small lunch counter, beloved by folks who work in town and have quick lunch breaks. The Mandalay Express offers one, two or three delicious choices for $6.95-$8.95, with fried rice, chow mein or chow funn for starch options. Some entree selections up for grabs are orange chicken, steamed ° sh ° llet, beef broccoli, stir-fried vegetables and beef curry.

After Christmas Day, Shrove Tuesday is potentially my second favourite day of the year. In my eyes, pancakes are one of –if not the best – foods out there, and the fact that they get a day dedicated to them really makes me love the human race. Nevertheless, if you are not quite as experienced in the pancake department as I am and require a little help when it comes to perfecting your pancakes, here is a few tips and toppings to ensure this pancake day is your best yet.
Granted, when I think about pancakes (which is often) I think about thick, squishy, stacked buttermilk beauties. However, whilst these are the most delicious, they are not the most simple. If you want effortless, thin pancakes (or crêpes) all you will need is some flour, a couple of eggs, and a splash of milk. Check out Mary Berry's recipe on The Telegraph's website for exact measurements and a method to follow. Once cooked, finish your crêpes with either savoury or sweet toppings. Try making a wrap of grated cheese and ham, or belatedly celebrate World Nutella Day (5 February) with a classic banana and Nutella filling.
Pancakes with normal milk are good, don't get me wrong, but there is something about that deliciously fluffy and rich, buttery taste that buttermilk produces that makes my mouth water and heart flutter just by thinking about them. Personally, I follow Martha Stewart's recipe that can be found on her website by searching 'Best Buttermilk Pancakes'. Buttermilk can be a bit hard to get your hands on sometimes, so a great substitute is to mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of either lemon juice or vinegar, leave it for 10 minutes to let it curdle and voilà, you have got your own faux buttermilk to make some truly delicious pancakes.
It is hard to imagine who first came up with the idea of adding bacon to the classic topping of maple syrup on pancakes, but one day this happened, and history was made. The mish-mash in your mouth of the saltiness from the bacon, the sweetness from the syrup and the fluffiness from the pancakes is almost so confusing to your taste buds that your brain has to to give up making sense of it and just concede that it is delicious. Try following the recipe on deliciousmagazine.co.uk for 'Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup' to experience this taste sensation for yourself.
One of the biggest benefits of pancakes has to be the fact that they go with so much. For how many other foods could I say: don't fancy bacon as your topping? Well, how about berries?
Berries and pancakes are another killer combo. Raspberries are delicious, but I would say blueberries are the true stars. Either stir some into the batter before you cook or whilst you are flipping your pancakes, leave a pan of blueberries, hot water, and a little sugar to simmer away to make a compote to spoon over your pancakes once they are cooked. Sweet, warm, and contributes to your 5-a-day. What could be better?
Another amazing thing about pancakes: they can be in any meal of the day. The variety of sweet and savoury toppings means they are fit for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But have you ever considered making pancakes your dessert? To do this is so easy that you will question why you have never tried it before. All you need is milk and cake mix. And by cake mix I mean the pre-made, packet mix you buy from the shop when you cannot be bothered to make a cake from scratch. Grab a pack of chocolate cake mix and stir in your milk, and then cook your pancakes as you would normally. There you have it; chocolate cake pancakes, the ultimate dessert.

It is a record that remains as one of sports' most unapproachable feats 78 years later.
You can say 1, but this guy is a great quarterback, so we have all the respect in the world him and what they can do.
Even so, it's hard to imagine a scenario in which the team's starting quarterback is a valuable asset in standard fantasy leagues.Buster Olney and Tim Kurkjian discuss the battle of the bullpens in the NLCS, David Price getting his first postseason win, the Red Sox treatment of Alex Bregman, Mookie Betts' boost and the Chris Sale situation .He had been like a brother to friends who he'd met throughout the course of his career, helping one who he is close to that had a stroke.Frye will be a solid bench veteran for a young big man group.Southern Californians have Spanos to thank for the huge economic windfall of two Super Bowls and a Republican National Convention in San Diego.If they outplay it, they're stuck.

Community champions rally support and raise funds to help save lives
People across Canada are starting their own fundraising events in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada and the community we work with and for. Events of all shapes and sizes, such as rides and runs, rally support and help pave the way for progress against this disease.
Even as Canadians adjust to the next normal, event organizers are finding new ways to raise funds. Here are a few highlights...
The Teal Road, cycling and connecting with Teal Sisters
This summer, Laurence Dompierre-Major is pumping up her bicycle tires, packing her microphone and recorder, and riding "The Teal Road." Along the way, she'll connect with other women living with ovarian cancer, capture their stories, and raise funds.
"I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in April 2019. As someone coming to terms with the disease, this ride is a way for me to overcome my fears and pain and turn it into something beautiful that will help other women too," says Laurence.
The Teal Road combines Laurence's background as a videographer and her drive to take back control of her life, building on the positive connections she has made on OVdialogue, Ovarian Cancer Canada's online community.
"When faced with a disease, we are all different, but there is one thing we share – hope," says Laurence. "There is something so real and honest when you connect with someone on a similar journey. It feels as though only they can understand a part of what I live. The advice and support from other women brings me strength, when I am feeling vulnerable. I ask all sorts of questions about their history, their diagnosis and the life they have led ever since."
Laurence's route extends from Montreal to the Gaspé and her goal is to ride 3,100 km for the 3,100 women in Canada who will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year. Also, she aims to gather donations along the way and raise $30,000.
"This journey motivates me. It is inspiring to think that a little event like this has the power to get more people to talk about this disease and do something about it. Every contribution, big or small, allows us to move forward," says Laurence. "I am part of a movement to advance the cause. I want to put faces to this disease and bring forward our stories."
Follow Laurence on social media for updates on her training and fundraising, and to learn more about her story.
Beau's 5k for Ovarian Cancer Canada, honouring memories and building community
The Beau's 5K started in the small town of Vankleek Hill, Ontario. Six years ago, employees of Beau's Brewery Co., a local craft brewery, initiated a run in honour of their friend Ashley Cowan, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Ashley passed away in 2018 and today the event continues in her memory. To date, it's raised over $205,000 in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada.
"Ashley was a beloved daughter, wife, sister, aunt, teacher and friend. She also loved running and had challenged herself to continue running in local races during her cancer journey. She showed so much strength and grace through the toughest times and the Beau's 5k is our way to reflect on that," says Jen Beauchesne, owner of Beau's Brewing Co. and event organizer.
Prior to the pandemic, participants made their way to the brewery bright and early. After taking to the roads of Vankleek Hill, everyone was invited back to the brewery to celebrate with a cold drink.
"The safety of our community is so important to us. We took our event virtual in 2020 and it will be virtual again this year, but we're focused on keeping up the momentum and bringing back familiar favourites to returning participants with a 2021 run souvenir, a complimentary post-race beer and we're hosting an online closing ceremony," says Jen.
"Race day is all about the feels. Our purpose at Beau's is elevating the human spirit, and we see a full spectrum of that when we host the Beau's 5K. This event is deeply connected to what we stand for both as Beau's and as part of the community of Vankleek Hill," says Jen. "We continue to work with Ovarian Cancer Canada and know that 100% of our collective work is going to support better outcomes for women with ovarian cancer."
The 2021 Beau's 5k takes place July 3. Register today.
The Dawn Ride, motorcycling coast to coast in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada
Bonnie St Julien, volunteer organizer of the Dawn Ride
A group of passionate women and avid motorcyclists rallied around their friend, Lori Reith, when she was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer. They banded together to plan the Dawn Ride, a motorcycle ride to raise funds for ovarian cancer research.
"Our motivation is to fund research to further progress against this disease. Ovarian Cancer Canada's commitment to research made them our natural partner," says Bonnie St Julien, one of the volunteer organizers.
The group encouraged participants to map routes of their choosing. The focus on individual rides and small groups allowed the Dawn Ride to flourish even under current COVID-19 restrictions.
With riders coast to coast taking to social media with their photos and updates, the journey was the true highlight of this event, not the destination.
A total of 69 riders exceeded the fundraising goal of $50,000 raising over $56,800.
"Our volunteers led by example, donating generously, and personally recruiting other riders. We reached out to those we believed would be passionate about raising funds. Our fundraising goal was dependent on recruiting 50 of those 'champions' and we did just that," says Fiona Brown, volunteer organizer.

With their eyes on the road ahead, the Dawn Ride organizers have their sights set on establishing the Dawn Ride as an annual cross-Canada relay in support of ovarian cancer research.
"We have space for 250 fundraising riders in 2022," says Fiona. "And we are already fielding enquiries."
Learn more and sign up for updates on next year's event, the Dawn Ride Relay 22, at dawnride.org.
Funds raised by people just like you enable Ovarian Cancer Canada's work to help women with this disease, and others at risk for it, live fuller, better, longer lives. Each of us can do something to bring the community closer to seeing this vision become reality.
If you are interested in starting your own event, please contact Tara Defoe, Community Engagement and Events Manager at tdefoe@ovariancanada.org.
