  • PROCEEDINGS of Flvf0-3 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on COCOWOOD Ulllizationtechnologies
    FPRDI PROCEEDINGS OF flvf0-3 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COCOWOOD UllLIZATIONTECHNOLOGIES FOREWORD The third International Conference on Cocowood Utilization, organized principally by the Forest Products Research and Development Institute (FPRDI) in coordination with the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) and the Common Fund for Commodities (CFC), was successfully conducted on 26-29 October at Holiday Inn, Manila, Philippines. Held 18 years after the second meeting in Zamboanga, Philippines in 1979, the organizers underscored the importance of the 1997 conference as the crucial link in the 18-year gap between the last two international gatherings on cocowood utilization ever convened. This Proceeding presents the highlights of the conference, the papers presented in each session, as well as the discussions after each session. The conference could not have been successfully conducted had it not been for the moral support of the ITTO and CFC. Also, many ITTO-3 Project Staff and FPRDI Staff who made up the conference committees worked very hard to make the affair a success. Space is not enough to thank all of them individually. To all those who helped towards the successful conclusion of the conference, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. /) } , . " ,/' /1~tf ~.~~llf{~ J,lOMULO C.

  • Nytårsrejsen Til Filippinerne – 2014
    Nytårsrejsen til Filippinerne – 2014. Martins Dagbog Dorte og Michael kørte os til Kastrup, og det lykkedes os at få en opgradering til business class - et gammelt tilgodebevis fra lidt lægearbejde på et Singapore Airlines fly. Vi fik hilst på vore 16 glade gamle rejsevenner ved gaten. Karin fik lov at sidde på business class, mens jeg sad på det sidste sæde i økonomiklassen. Vi fik julemad i flyet - flæskesteg med rødkål efterfulgt af ris á la mande. Serveringen var ganske god, og underholdningen var også fin - jeg så filmen "The Hundred Foot Journey", som handlede om en indisk familie, der åbner en restaurant lige overfor en Michelin-restaurant i en mindre fransk by - meget stemningsfuld og sympatisk. Den var instrueret af Lasse Hallström. Det tog 12 timer at flyve til Singapore, og flyet var helt fuldt. Flytiden mellem Singapore og Manila var 3 timer. Vi havde kun 30 kg bagage med tilsammen (12 kg håndbagage og 18 kg i en indchecket kuffert). Jeg sad ved siden af en australsk student, der skulle hjem til Perth efter et halvt år i Bergen. Hans fly fra Lufthansa var blevet aflyst, så han havde måttet vente 16 timer i Københavns lufthavn uden kompensation. Et fly fra Air Asia på vej mod Singapore forulykkede med 162 personer pga. dårligt vejr. Miriams kuffert var ikke med til Manilla, så der måtte skrives anmeldelse - hun fik 2200 pesos til akutte fornødenheder. Vi vekslede penge som en samlet gruppe for at spare tid og gebyr - en $ var ca. 45 pesos. Vi kom i 3 minibusser ind til Manila Hotel, hvor det tog 1,5 time at checke os ind på 8 værelser.
