Inputs for the Compilation Document
This Report is a preliminary document outlining the emerging elements of the Philippines? position for the Rio+20 Conference in June 2012 in Rio Janeiro, Brazil.
Philippine Council for Sustainable Development
Inputs for the Compilation Document
The Philippines is one of the forerunners of sustainable development in Asia. Several months after the Rio Earth Summit, the Philippine Government, through Executive Order 15 issued by then President Fidel V. Ramos on September 1992, mandated the creation of the Philippine Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD) to review and ensure the implementation of the commitments the Philippines made in the light of the UNCED. With this, the Philippines was considered as one of the pioneers in the Asia-Pacific region in establishing a multi-stakeholder body that will ensure the operationalization of sustainable development as embodied in Agenda 21.
The PCSD spearheaded the formulation of the Philippine Agenda 21, commonly known as PA21, the country?s blueprint for sustainable development and a translation of Agenda 21 in the national context. It envisions a better quality of life for all through the development of a just, moral, creative, spiritual, economically vibrant, caring, diverse yet cohesive society characterized by appropriate productivity, participatory and democratic processes and living in harmony within the limits of the carrying capacity of nature and the integrity of creation.
The Philippine Council for Sustainable Development (PCSD) is a multi-stakeholder body which provides policy advice to appropriate bodies on sustainable development issues of national interest. It is convened to ensure the implementation of the country?s commitments in light of UNCED commitments and assure the integration of the interplay of social, economic and environmental concerns in the Philippine national policies, plans and programs involving all sectors of the society.
On 5 August 2011, President Benigno S. Aquino III issued Memorandum Order No.22 which directs the PCSD to make the necessary preparations for an effective country participation in the 20th Session of the UN Commission on Sustainable Development in Brazil in June 2012. This Order ensures a multi-stakeholder participatory process in the preparation of the country?s assessment and positions for the Conference, calling on national and local government agencies, the civil
society, business and labor sectors to contribute to and participate in the country?s preparation for the Rio+20.
In line with this issuance, the PCSD convened a National Forum in July 2011 participated in various stakeholders from national government, business and private sectors and civil society organizations to achieve the following: (i) familiarity on the issues and dynamics regarding the Rio+20 Conference Themes; (ii) identification of the broad issues, challenges and opportunities in pursuing green economy in the Philippine context; (iii) organization of the Philippine working groups for the strategy papers and the assessment; and (iv) agreement on the critical next steps and key issues to be raised in succeeding Forums and Round Table Discussions.
The five Philippine Rio+20 working groups, convened to discuss in detail the elements of and issues surrounding the themes of the Rio+20 Conference as related to the sectors/themes of the working groups, are the following: (i) agriculture and fisheries; (ii) environment and natural resources; (iii) infrastructure (waste, water and energy); (iv) green cities (sustainable transport and urban development); and (v) green industries.
Following the National Forum, three sets of roundtable discussions from each of the working groups, and several PCSD meetings, the emerging country position on the Rio+20 themes have been gathered. The following chapters present these findings, lifting statements from positions of stakeholders as relevant.
The Rio+20 Conference seeks to answer, why, despite the presence of a global agenda for sustainable development, several economies have slowed down, accompanied by worsening poverty and unabated environmental degradation. It also aims to assess the progress and gaps in the implementation of agreed sustainable development commitments, secure renewed political commitment, and address new and emerging challenges.
The lead up to Rio+20 should be able to harness and synergize the energies of CSOs, business groups and the government. This will ensure that sustainable development is responded to, with the end in view of empowering communities to take care of today?s and the future generation?s needs. There is a need to review agreements and assess how far they have been brought to life; visit the parameters and revise if and when necessary; and, open up new vistas in renewing efforts and recreating relationships and mindsets as well as listening to what communities have done to survive and be self reliant and sustainable in coping with poverty and disasters.
The Philippines reaffirms its commitment to sustainable development and regards the Rio+20 Conference as instrumental to reaching a new consensus and commitment from the nations of the world to develop a new and integrated approach to sustainable development. It is not just an environmental agreement nor an international governmental event, but rather, it is about promoting many more voluntary multi-stakeholder partnerships to create a vision and undertake actions: take stock, promote what works, adopt concrete goals and targets, and lay a foundation for a future of prosperity, peace, and sustainability.
Sustainable development is defined by Philippine Agenda 21 as ?the harmonious integration of a sound and viable economy, responsible governance, social cohesion and harmony and ecological integrity to ensure that development is a life-enhancing process?The ultimate aim of development is human development now and through future generations.?
The Philippines looks forward to the Rio+20 Conference strengthening the call for nations to move in a sustainable development path and moving forward the Millennium Development Goals after its 2015 timeline. The Rio+20 Conference should be able to identify specific goals and the corresponding action plan that will facilitate integration and tracking of progress of sustainable development down to the community level. The country supports the identification of a menu of options towards green economy that considers the need for differentiated responsibilities between developed and developing countries. The country puts premium on this important difference and therefore calls for appropriate regulatory mechanisms and market-based instruments to be put in place to provide an enabling environment for sustainable development. A results-based and action-oriented outcome document is anticipated.
The outcome document is expected to respond to emerging challenges and recognize the need to move towards a sustainable development path. Identified actions that require renewed commitment include the following: (i) increased financial support; (ii) strengthening legislative policies to include incentive-based mechanisms (e.g., payment for ecosystem services, polluters pay principle); (iii) institutional strengthening and increased coordination among government and non-government sectors at all levels; (iv) transfer of technology and know-how; (v) increased awareness through information, education and communication campaigns; (vi) provision of support to research and development; and (vii) strengthening sustainable development monitoring and evaluation, including the accompanying indicators.
Green economy must be derived from and rooted in the objectives, spirit, principles and operationalization of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992, and especially the Rio Principles and Agenda 21, supplemented as well by the Rio + 10 process and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation.
The Philippines considers green economy as the new rallying point for the better integration of the three pillars of sustainable development.
Green economy should ensure food security and promote investments to bolster its natural capital. Notwithstanding this, the Philippines is committed to achieve low ecological footprint and eco-efficient resource use in the transport, energy, waste and water sectors and to create climate-resilient agriculture and industry sectors.
Green economy should encourage sustainable consumption and production patterns as a tool and mechanism to achieve sustainable development. It should ensure environmental integrity and ecological resilience through enhanced and sustained ecosystem goods and services to push the development of the country towards inclusive and sustained growth.
A. Major concerns that must be addressed in the transition to green economy:
1. Green and cleaner production technology. Access, technology transfer, knowledge sharing and cooperation are important factors for developing countries to fill up the gaps on green and cleaner production technology. The identified early movers, specifically developed countries with
their resources, should develop the appropriate technologies and facilitate technology transfer, knowledge sharing and cooperation to assist the developing countries in their transition towards greener and cleaner production. The country also recommends that binding global institutional arrangements be agreed upon during the Rio+20 Conference in order to foster collaboration and cooperation in the field of green and cleaner
production technology among countries.
Major considerations in the transition to a green economy: access, technology, transfer, knowledge sharing and cooperation on green and cleaner production technology; financial assistance and green investments; capacity building; avoidance of trade protectionism; social dimension; green jobs and livelihood; peace and security
2. Financial assistance and green investment. A green finance window should be put in place to provide financial assistance, such as the establishment of a mine rehabilitation fund, in sustaining the country?s natural capital given the need to develop them to fuel economic growth in the countryside. In addition to the market and tax incentives that can be provided by the government, investments are necessary to enable the shift from the use of conventional to green and cleaner production technologies. For instance, there would still be unviable areas (off-grid areas) within developing countries that would require technological and financial aid from developed countries. Therefore, the effort of developed countries to scale up renewable energy in developing countries is a welcome effort. However, it should be carried out within a context that is sustainable and aligned with the developing countries? national priorities and strategies. The country believes that the greening of the business processes is a tenet of a green economy. This includes a regulatory and incentive framework that will
ensure the protection of the natural capital when investments are made in developing countries.
3. Capacity building. Developed countries should provide technical assistance to developing countries to help the latter achieve green economy in the context of SD and poverty eradication. This may include technical assistance and technological know-how in developing green and cleaner production technology for energy and industries, institutionalizing environmental accounting, developing green cities and implementing environmentally sustainable transport systems.
4. Trade. Discussions and appropriate recommendations and statements on the avoidance of trade protectionism and tying conditionalities to official development assistance should be made in the Conference. The Philippines, as a developing country, sees green economy consistent with upholding trade policies that prevent unfair competition that arises when countries protect their own production sectors through subsidies and when poorer countries? natural resources are used unfairly by developed countries. In addition, the country also sees the possible implication of green procurement policies on goods. The issue on possible blocking of products coming from developing countries that are not considered ?green? based on standards of developed countries should be carefully revisited. These standards should not be used as non-tariff barriers. An agreed accreditation, certification and eco-labelling of products should be established in order to avoid green trade protectionism.
5. Social dimension of green economy. The Philippines reiterates that strategies towards green economy as well as efforts to ?green? technology, policies and institutions must consider the social dimension, including biocultural diversity and heritage. In particular, indigenous peoples should be considered in policy and decision-making processes to protect their biocultural rights. Green economy is envisioned to be a people-centered development paradigm that promotes the people?s role as steward of the natural resources and as owners of the country?s domain, thus ensuring sustainability.
6. Green jobs and livelihood. For the Philippines, green economy should promote green, sustainable and decent jobs that are compliant with living
standards. A just transition to green jobs would mean that the transition process has to be inclusive of all stakeholders ─ protecting workers? rights and ensuring that employment and social cost of the transition are shared by all. In addition, international support on trainings and courses on green skills and competencies of workers, particularly those in the brown industries, should be provided. Further, green economy should facilitate the development of green livelihood and entrepreneurship by engaging the informal sector of industries to truly contribute to poverty reduction, social development and a better environment for all.
7. Peace and security. The country believes that green economy will only exist with peace and human security as one of the foundations. Green economy should facilitate a culture of peace, the promotion of human rights, acceptance of social diversity, and the primacy of the peace process at all times.
B. Key sectors of a green economy for the Philippines, including the broad objectives for each sector and some operational statements to transition into a green economy:
1. Agriculture and Fisheries
Green economy in the context of poverty alleviation considers food and nutrition security first and foremost. Green economy should not hamper the ability of the country to achieve these goals. While food sufficiency is a banner program of the government especially in food staples, responding to the food requirement of the people is still the top priority of the government.
5 key sectors of a green economy in the Philippines:
- agriculture and fisheries;
- environment and natural resources;
- infrastructure (energy, waster and water);
- green cities (sustainable transport and urban development); and
- green industries
Green economy in agriculture empowers smallholder famers who are the backbone of the food system.
Sustainable agriculture is a catalyzing force towards Green economy. Sustainable agriculture shall mean any
principle, method, practice or philosophy that aims to make agriculture economically viable, ecologically sound, equitable, culturally appropriate and grounded on holistic science.
Green economy follows nature?s law and thus works towards agro-ecological farming or an ecosystem-based farming as the way to sustain productivity.
Green economy ensures sustainable land management, putting a balance between indigenous and scientific technologies. It promotes the use of environment-friendly technologies (either indigenous or modern) that are socially acceptable and economically feasible.
Training young farmers is an important driver towards achieving sustainable agriculture and consequently green economy.
In the fishery sector, green economy institutionalizes good aquaculture practices to include socio-environmental standards as well as promotion of ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management (i.e., community-based coastal resource management).
2. Environment and Natural Resources
The environment and natural resources sector (ENR) is the fundamental and critical base for green economy and is critical in the planning process.
Green economy in the ENR sector ensures environmental integrity and ecological resilience. It ensures that the ecosystem goods and services are enhanced and sustained to improve economic security.
Environmental and social safeguards (e.g. rights based approach, equitable benefit sharing) must be ensured to achieve green economy in the sector.
Payment for environmental services to improve human well-being and social equity must be institutionalized and operationalized.
The development and use of environmentally-sound (e.g. know-how, procedure and goods/services) and appropriate technology must be encouraged.
Supporting mechanisms that will advance sustainable consumption and production patters in the ENR sector must be instituted.
3. Infrastructure
The energy sector is directed towards a low carbon future with energy efficiency and conservation as a way of life, and renewable energy as an important component of the energy mix.
The triple bottomline approach must be considered in the programs and projects of the energy sector - i.e, economic, social and environmental aspects are all factored-in.
Waste reduction, including the promotion and implementation of the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle), remains as the priority thrust.
The closure and rehabilitation of all open/controlled dumpsites will be pursued in support to the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act.
The economic potential of waste will be highlighted considering the best practices in solid waste management. In line with this, solid waste management technologies, including technology to convert waste to energy, are needed.
Mainstreaming the informal waste sector in the national and local government plans and programs shall be pursued (just transition to green jobs).
Water is a basic life source and resource and is critical base for economic activities.
Greening the water sector entails the protection of remaining pristine water sources for potable water use. Efficiency measures and practices including, water recycling, re-use, treatment, and rainwater harvesting will be intensified. The development of surface water use will be encouraged while the use of groundwater will be regulated.
Issues on water quality, sources of pollution should be addressed and mechanisms such as polluters pay principle should be established.
4. Green Cities
With green cities, strategic spatial integration to promote global urban competitiveness, efficient transportation and communication network, and bring about an efficient settlement, production and service delivery system is envisioned, taking into account sustainable management of land and other natural resources and disaster risk reduction.
Green cities support sustainable (ekistic clusters) human settlements/communities with ecosystems-based SD organization and management. It highlights the rural-urban dichotomy and their interdependence and supports sustainable formats of land use, in which a scale of Human settlement living in a habitat with the smallest scale of ecosystem is sustainably managed.
Green cities promote Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST) in order to:
- Reduce annual growth rate of energy consumption and associated green house gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions;
- Enhance sustainable mobility through the development of a viable market for EST; and
- Promote the shift towards the use of more sustainable transport modes of low carbon intensity, such as non-motorized transport and electronic vehicles (e-jeepneys & e-tricycles), including CNG buses.
Green cities apply selected KPIs of eco-cities that are relevant in the Philippine setting in terms of setting-up a criteria for greening communities/human settlements
- Potable tap water
- Non-traditional water sources
- Sustainable water consumption
- Quality water bodies
- Protection of Wetlands
- Renewable energy
- Low carbon emission
- Low waste generation
- Non-toxic waste treatment
- High native plant index
- Green trips
- Green space
- Green buildings
- High recycling rate
- Public housing
- High employment
- Good air quality
- Low noise pollution
Green cities apply the BERDE criteria for rating green buildings in urban areas. BERDE is designed to measure how much ?above and beyond? existing environmental regulations and standards a building is performing. It addresses local environmental priorities through integrated design delivery and whole building design approach. This way, the public may easily identify greener buildings in the market through a well balance, unbiased, and credible measurement of performance.
5. Green Industries
Green industries are ?climate-resilient industries?. Industries are well-adapted to climate change impacts and pursue a low-carbon development path through increased use of renewable energy as well as energy efficiency.
Green industries shall be guided by environmental standards (local and international). In terms of pollution, industries which produce hazardous and toxic substances will not be allowed to pollute the environment. On the other hand, progressive reduction will be observed by industries which produce non-hazardous wastes.
Green industries contribute to poverty reduction, social development and a better environment for all. It promotes green, sustainable and decent jobs which are compliant with living standards. A just transition to green jobs would mean that transition process to a greener economy has to be inclusive of all stakeholders, and that the unavoidable employment and social cost of the transition have to be shared by all.
Sustainable patterns of consumption and production are integrated in the strategies and plans for the greening of economic growth. Economic growth is pursued with responsible resource use and environmental protection through increased resource efficiency in the production processes.
Green innovation (e.g., cleaner production technologies and practices) through proper research and development is key to nurturing and developing suitable and environmentally sound technologies that will support the greening of the industries and economy in general. Green industries promote eco-friendly products including its viability, market penetration and expansion.
Strengthening the capabilities of micro, small, and medium scale enterprises through improved access to finance and markets are necessary for a green industry.
Greening the industries require appropriate enabling conditions such as investments, financing, and technology transfer.
The Philippines experience provides ample evidence that the integration of the three pillars of sustainable development cannot be achieved solely at the national level. Instead, it is realized both at the local community and national levels as consolidation of communities are formed and strengthened. A sustainable nation must be a community of sustainable local communities and a sustainable world, a community of such sustainable countries.
Appropriate governance structures from international, regional and national levels, including UN Programmes and Convention Secretariats, UN-ESCAP, and the PCSD, should be strengthened to effectively support sustainable development actions at the local level.
The following are preliminary recommendations of the Philippines to enhance and strengthen the current institutional framework for SD:
A. Organizational. The Philippines emphasizes the need for strengthened international sustainable development governance effective enough to support national structures for SD localization and efficient enough so as to lower transaction costs of developing countries. The planning and reporting processes of all UN Conventions and Programmes should thus be synchronized in order to facilitate effective coordination of the commitments and actions. It is suggested that an implementation framework and/or coordination mechanism be established to clearly delineate the roles and responsibilities of each organization under the UN system. The development and implementation of an incentive scheme to country-parties implementing SD initiatives/meeting agreed Convention commitments should also be pursued.
B. Localization. The genuine realization of sustainable development should be attained at the local level and translated to improved well-being of people at the community level. Mechanisms, system and structures, including good governance, should promote and support local actions for sustainable development. The country strongly believes that instead of creating new institutions for SD, it is more effective and efficient to mainstream the mandate for sustainable development in existing structures and mechanisms, facilitated with the assistance of civil society and the business sectors through appropriate public-private partnership.
C. Monitoring, evaluation and feedback mechanism. The Philippines recommends the strengthening of the monitoring and evaluation of the activities and outputs through appropriate methodologies to track commitments and activities made at the global level. This may include identifying clear targets with a timeframe to ensure that countries, recognizing inherent and differing capacities, are objectively moving towards a common goal with increased accountability for SD.
The Philippines Rio+20 Report for the June 2012 Conference is being drafted in coordination with the PCSD. It is a two-part document containing the following:
Part 1 - an assessment of the implementation of Philippine Agenda 21; and
Part 2 - strategy papers identifying green economy prospects of the country and the suitable institutional framework for sustainable development at the national and international levels.
The Report will also include:
- The outputs from the Regional Consultations for 15 of the 16 regions of the Philippines. As of date, three regional consultations have already been completed. Similar to the National Forum, the regional consultations aim to level-off on the understanding on the Rio+20 Conference themes, as well as to gather sub-national issues and recommendations that will form part of the Philippines? Rio+20 Report.
- National, regional and local SD practices.
- (The Philippines) Civil Society?s Participation in Rio+20: Processes and Assessment of Philippine Agenda 21
Annex 1. Memorandum Order No. 22 dated 5 August 2011

Sun, Sand, and Samba: Best of Rio de Janeiro
Within the space of three years, the two most important sports events in the world will take place in Rio: In 2014 the city with the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain will be one of Brazil's soccer World Cup tournament cities and probably the site of the championship match. Then in 2016 Rio will host the Summer Olympic Games. But even if you visit Rio tomorrow you'll find yourself in a fascinating metropolis – with the following attractions that you won't want to miss.
Back to the overview
Rio's classic attractions: Ipanema, Sugar Loaf and Copacabana
The beach at Ipanema is world famous, but the district with the same name is less well known. Yet Ipanema – and adjacent Leblon – are among Rio's most exclusive neighborhoods. Those who can afford it stay at one of the hotels located right on the beach. Elegant bars, boutiques, and restaurants abound nearby.
Sugarloaf Mountain:
Riding the cable car to the top of this 396 meter high granite monolith is almost obligatory for Rio tourists. The base station of the so-called Bondinho is at the foot of the mountain in a quiet city neighborhood called Urca – which is itself well worth getting to know in the course of a leisurely stroll.
Body culture, not purchasing power is what matters on the four-kilometer beach in Copacabana, the proverbial bathtub of Rio de Janeiro. Here the social differences so much in evidence elsewhere in Brazil don't seem to hold sway: What counts is your figure! The pulsating Copacabana entertainment district with its famous beach boardwalk throbs with action until the small hours of the morning. But late night tourists are well advised to avoid the areas where there are fewer people, such as side streets.
Rio is something else with its museums, cathedrals and Lapa
Museu de Arte Contemporânea di Niterói (MAC):
The flying saucer has landed – in Niterói on a high cliff with a commanding view of Guanaraba Bay and nearby Rio – and transformed itself into a museum of contemporary art. Its architecture vies with the works of art on display and the breathtaking panorama for the attention of visitors. The building's designer, the famous Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, was 89 years old when construction was completed in 1996.
Mirante da Boa Viagem, s/nº., Niterói. Tel. +55-21 2620-2400, www.macniteroi.com.br
Catedral de São Sebastião:
It took 15 years to build this striking cathedral, from 1964 to 1979. Seventy-five meters in height, its large conical form is reminiscent of an Aztec pyramid. The cathedral holds 20,000 people and has four stupendous stained glass windows that stretch from floor to ceiling. These windows refract the outside sunlight, creating a unique ambience for those inside.
Av. República do Chile, Tel. +55 21-2240-2669, www.catedral.com.br
Just a few years ago, Lapa was still seen as a run-down neighborhood frequented by characters so shady that even real Rio de Janerians (called Cariocas) steered clear of it. But since then the former artists' quarter has made a comeback. The city's trendsetters have returned and opened ateliers, bars, cabarets, restaurants, and theaters. Lapa has also regained its former prominence in the samba scene, and its dance clubs are thronged by people of all ages.

What is the purpose of using the recipe if you are going make additions? Be careful of 'any' additions, it adjusts the calorie, fat and carb content, as I am certain you all know this. People who are making changes to their eating plan might want to consider sticking to the recipe as is before they start venturing out on their own with new additions. I'm not trying to criticize, I have made a lot of adjustments to my eating habits over the years and I remember so clearly how just getting portion size under control was. For the more experienced crowd, the addition of healthy lowfat turkey is a great idea, the protein perks are perfection.
Chilaquiles Casserole
From EatingWell: June/July 2006
Our version of this enchilada-style chilaquiles casserole is packed with nutritious beans and vegetables. Canned prepared enchilada sauce has great flavor and keeps the prep time quick. It can vary in heat level so find one that suits your taste. If you want to eliminate the heat altogether, try a green enchilada sauce (which is often milder than red) or substitute two 8-ounce cans of plain tomato sauce.

I agree that you have to be
I agree that you have to be careful as "adjusting" any recipe will affect the nutritional information. That being said, as a diabetic, I like to get extra protein when I can and added about 2 cups of chopped chicken, which was a very nice addition. I also adjusted the nutritional information to accomodate the change.
I liked this dish exactly the way it is. I love that I can add this vegetarian dish into my rotation without any complaints. I have made it several times now and haven't changed a thing. It's awesome because it has tremendous flavor and very low calories. A great NO MEAT night dinner. I serve it with a lime/cilantro slaw and some pico de gallo; my family gobbles it down!
I read practically all 100+ reviews of this recipe and couldn't wait to get home to make it. I added 1 lb ground turkey and chopped my zucchini instead of grating it but pretty much stuck to the recipe for everything else. It was easy to make and delicious! My boyfriend and I loved it but he refused to believe it was healthy.
I too, read the reviews and added 1 lb of turkey, canned green chili's, fresh diced jalopeno's, garlic and some salsa and layered the tortilla's instead of slicing them. To the bottom layer of tortilla's I also added (1) of refried beans. Husband said this is a definite keeper and to put into "The Rotation" .
this dish was awesome because i added some things.. like some reviews said(**reviews are a great way to see if the dish is worth making***)
i did add :3 garlis cloves, minced.. ground turkey( i added about 1/2 pd. but next time a pound would be great..instead of(yellow)frozen corn i used WHITE frozen corn this makes a BIG difference and it's worth the extra money AND the bag i bought had 3 xtra oz. so i used the entire bag..a small can if chopped green chiles (not drained)..3 tsp chili powder and most important i kept the tortilla's WHOLE i didnt cut them up leaving them whole keeps the layers together next time i will add a small chopped jalapeno because i like heat... worth making!!! this is a keeper....my family loved it...

Christmas Packages at Ockenden Manor Hotel & Spa
Join us for Christmas at Ockenden Manor Hotel and Spa on a three-night break over the festive period. Following afternoon tea
and a Champagne reception and dinner on Christmas Eve, listen to carol singers and the option to attend Midnight Mass to welcome
in Christmas Day, which will feature a magnificent six-course traditional luncheon. Explore Cuckfield or celebrated local walks
on Boxing Day before an opulent black tie gourmet dinner before departure the next morning.
View our Christmas Package below:
Three Night Christmas Package
Christmas Eve - Thursday 24th December
Join us for traditional afternoon tea in the sitting room, while relaxing in front of the crackling log fire. Before dinner we will gather in the sitting room and bar for a Champagne reception where you'll meet your hosts and fellow guests while local carol singers add a festive touch from years gone by. Dinner will be served in our oak-panelled restaurants, with mixed tables for a real house party atmosphere.
After dinner you might like to attend Midnight Mass in Cuckfield's beautiful Norman Holy
Trinity Church, just a few minutes' walk into the village. When you return you can enjoy the last moments of Christmas Eve with mulled wine, warm mince pies and roasted chestnuts in the sitting room
Christmas Day - Friday 25th December
We will be serving a leisurely continental breakfast in the dining room, including a fresh fruit platter and freshly baked pastries. Room service is available if you'd rather spend the first hours cosseted in your room.
Champagne or kir royale are our aperitifs before a splendid six-course traditional
luncheon, and if you've left enough room we'll serve you tea and homemade Christmas cake mid-afternoon. A range of board games is available to remind you of less hectic Christmases past. A delicious light buffet supper is offered in the evening, accompanied by a festive repertoire performed by our local harpist. A fitting finale to end a special day.
Boxing Day - Saturday 26th December
It's a day for getting out and about, so we'll be serving a hearty champagne English breakfast. There's plenty to keep you busy: a visit to the Bluebell Railway or Wakehurst Place, or one of the celebrated local walks around Cuckfield. Upon your return in the afternoon we will serve afternoon tea and Christmas cake.
Lunch is not included today. If you wish to dine with us at lunchtime a reservation is essential. Champagne cocktails in the bar mark the start of our black tie gourmet dinner, inclusive of wines, held around mixed tables in the Ockenden Suite. Our magician will keep you transfixed throughout the meal.
Sunday 27th December
Unless our outstanding rates have enticed you to extend your stay, it's time to bid
a fond farewell; we're confident you'll leave sated, satisfied and thinking about Christmas 2015 already.

The founders of DeSoto are Emilio De Soto and Dan Neyenhuis. Emilio De Soto is a triathlete who is racing in his 27th consecutive season of triathlon competition. He is also fully immersed in his athletic lifestyle as a fitness trainer and coach. Dan Neyenhuis is an age-grouper triathlete who has been helicopter skiing for 20 years. Together, they created a company that designs cutting edge triathlon gear for triathletes, by triathletes.
DeSoto gear is designed to enhance performance in each leg of the race. The founders created the first mesh running cap, zippered tri tops, pocketed tri shorts, transition packs, tri suits, and tri shorts with discreet pads for cycling.
One of their other achievements was creating the DeSoto T1 triathlon wetsuit that is two pieces instead of one. The DeSoto T1 triathlon wetsuit was designed to make a better fit for triathletes, and each year, more DeSoto tri tops and DeSoto tri shorts are being added to the line. DeSoto is still the only company in the world that makes a two-piece triathlon wetsuit.

Windows chooses the best display settings for your PC based on your monitor. If you want to adjust your display settings, or if they were changed and you want to restore default settings, here are a few things you can try.
It's a good idea to set your monitor to the resolution it was designed to display (called the native resolution).
To see your monitor's native resolution, check the display settings in PC settings.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
Tap or click PC and devices, then tap or click Display.
Tap or click the resolution slider and drag it until you find the resolution marked (Recommended). This is your monitor's native resolution—usually the highest resolution your monitor can support.
Tap or click Apply.
Monitors can support resolutions that are lower than their native resolutions, but text won't look as sharp and the display might be small, centered on the screen, edged with black, or stretched.

You can set the brightness and contrast for most monitors using buttons or other controls on the monitor. If you aren't sure how to adjust the brightness and contrast on your monitor, check the manual or the manufacturer's website.
You can also check to see if your PC has an automatic brightness setting. And if you have a laptop, you can adjust the brightness in Windows.
Some PCs adjust screen brightness automatically based on how much light there is in the room where you're using the PC. To see if your PC has this setting, follow these steps.
Make sure the
Adjust my screen brightness automatically slider is turned on.
(If you don't want the screen brightness to change automatically, tap or click the Adjust my screen brightness automatically slider to turn it off.)
This setting might not be available on some PCs.
For most laptop screens, you can adjust brightness in Power Options in Windows.
Open Power Options by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Power options in the search box, and tapping or clicking Power options.
Under the plan that you want to change, tap or click Change plan settings.
On the Change settings for the plan page, choose the brightness settings that you want to use when your PC is running on battery (if applicable) and when it's plugged in.
If you're using more than one monitor, you can identify the monitors that are plugged in, detect another monitor, change the screen orientation, choose what's displayed on each monitor, and choose which one is the main display.
Tap or click Identify.
If another monitor is plugged into your PC but Windows didn't detect it automatically, you can detect it manually in PC settings.
Tap or click Detect.
In the Orientation list, choose the screen orientation you want to use.
In the Multiple monitors list, choose one of the following:
Extend. You'll see one continuous display that stretches across all of your monitors.
Duplicate. You'll see the same display on each of your monitors.
Show only on 1. You'll only see the display on your first monitor.
Show only on 2. You'll only see the display on your second monitor.
In the preview image, tap or click the monitor you want to use as your main display to select it.
Select the Make this my main display check box.
You can use the four corners of any monitor to open the Start screen, charms, and your recent apps.
You can have the Start screen and apps from the Windows Store on only one monitor at a time. When you open the Start screen, charms, or your recent apps on a different monitor, apps from the Windows Store also move to that monitor.
If text and other items (like icons) on the desktop are too small, you can make them larger without changing the screen resolution.
Open Screen Resolution by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering Make text larger in the search box, and then tapping or clicking Make text and other items larger or smaller.
Drag the slider until the items in the preview image are the size you want them to be.
Tap or click Apply.
You'll see the change the next time you sign in to Windows.
This might not be available for some displays.
You can also change the text size for specific items in Windows, like window title bars or tooltips, without changing the size of anything else on the desktop.
Under Change only the text size, choose the item you'd like to change and pick a text size. If you want the text to be bold, select the Bold check box.
The ClearType technology in Windows helps make the text on your screen as clear and smooth as possible and can help make text easier to read over long periods of time. If the text on your screen looks fuzzy, make sure ClearType is turned on.

Sickle Pomfret – Hawaii
Sickle Pomfret are found in tropical waters throughout the Pacific and Indian Oceans but little information on their life history or abundance is available. The information that does exist, suggests Sickle Pomfret grow quickly during the first year of life and live for 8 years.
While not targeted specifically, Sickle Pomfret are caught in pelagic longline and hook and line fisheries, particularly in Hawaiian waters. Both of these fishing gears cause little damage to bottom habitat but pelagic longline gear can accidentally catch sea turtles and injure marine mammals.

Bucharest: Returning to former glory
Light and shade are never far apart in the Romanian capital. Once upon a time the beauty of Bucharest could easily compete with that of Paris. Magnificent city palaces, stately villas and ornate theaters lined the streets, the upper classes spoke French and the broad streets were referred to as boulevards. Fifty years of Communism have left their mark, yet there's no mistaking the fresh new breeze that's blowing through the city of two million today
Back to the overview
Architecture of superlatives
Parliament Palace:
It has 5100 rooms and is the largest building in Europe: Dictator Nicolae Ceausescu even razed entire sections of Bucharest's historical old town to make way for his giant Casa Poporului (People's House) as it was then called. During the five years (1984-1989) it took to build, some 700 architects and 20,000 laborers worked on the project. Originally intended as a luxurious residence for the dictator, the building came under threat of demolition after Ceausescu's deposition and execution. Today it serves, among others, as the seat of parliament, hence its present name: Parliament Palace.
Parliament Palace: Strada Izvor 2-4, www.cdep.ro (website of the Romanian Parliament, English and Romanian)
Unity Square:
Unity Square (Piața Unirii) is one of the main squares in Bucharest, and an important local transportation hub, where several subway, streetcar and bus routes converge. A grand fountain at its center dominates the square. From here, it's just a short walk to a host of shopping opportunities and also to Lipscani, the historical merchant district.
War and Communism notwithstanding, some of the buildings from Bucharest's glory days have stood the test of time, among them the Atheneum, where world-famous conductors and soloists, such as George Enescu (the composer), Maurice Ravel and Yehudi Menuhin have performed. The round concert hall with its magnificent marble pillars and domed roof opened in 1888. Today, audiences of up to 800 attend concerts given by the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra as well as international guest musicians, and at the same time get the chance to admire the 75-meter-long fresco running along the circular inner wall beneath the dome that depicts scenes from Romania's history.
Atheneum: Strada Benjamin Franklin 1-3, Tel. +40-21/315 25 67, www.fge.org.ro (English and Romanian)
Art & cafés: the modern Bucharest
National Museum of Art:
The National Museum of Art is located, across from the Atheneum, in a former royal palace. It highlights medieval and modern Romanian art, but also exhibits numerous works by world-famous international artists - El Greco, Monet, Rembrandt and Rubens among many others - most of which come from the collection assembled by the Romanian royal family.
National Museum of Art: Calea Victoriei 49-53, Tel. +40-21/313 30 30. Opening times: Wed-Sun 11am-7pm (May-September), Wed-Sun 10am-6pm (October-April). Admission: up to € 3.50 (50% reduction for students and senior citizens) www.mnar.arts.ro
The Romanian capital is blooming again today, and one after the next, entire streets of houses are being restored in the historical merchant district, Lipscani. The Communist regime originally intended to clear the whole district, but then merely left it to decay. Many of the romantic narrow streets are now closed to traffic, making Lipscani with its often mysterious atmosphere a fantastic place to stroll and explore. One highlight here is the former Linden Tree Inn (Hanul cu Tei), a quaint building that now houses some trendy cafés and art galleries.
Macca-Villacrosse Passage:
Macca-Villacrosse Passage (Pasajul Macca-Villacrosse) is also mischievously known as Bucharest's first shopping mall because back in the late 19th century, when it was covered with a yellow glass roof, this narrow street in quaint Lipscani had shops on the ground floor of most of its houses. Bucharest's first stock market was also located here. Today the passage and its many cafés attract crowds of visitors and are particularly popular with the city's trendy, young set.
Pasajul Macca-Villacrosse: Calea Victoriei, level with the streets Pasaj Macca and Pasaj Villacrosse.

A $205,000 grant from the McGregor Fund supports a College of Arts and Sciences project to promote collaborations around the globe through the use of advanced communication technologies. Led by principal investigator Molly W. Berger, Instructor of History and Associate Dean, and beginning in fall 2006, an inter-disciplinary cadre of faculty has participated in this internationalization initiative.
The McGregor grant has supported faculty as they develop new and innovative ways to build international experiences into the educational lives of CWRU undergraduates through travel, the development of international relationships in courses and programs, and innovative teaching and learning initiatives that result in expanded international experiences. The goal is not only to increase the numbers of international learning experiences available for undergraduates and the number of students participating, but also to transform these experiences by leveraging the university's information technology structure. As a result, nineteen projects have connected CWRU undergraduates to peers in China, Cameroon, Brazil, Denmark, Turkey and a host of other countries. Even though the funding ends in December 2010, most of the projects will continue on and have proliferated through additional projects.
One example of the impact of the World-Wide Learning Environment grant is Biology 301—Biotechnology Laboratory: Genes and Genetic Engineering. Using grant funds, Christopher Cullis, Professor of Biology, refocused this course on the development of new molecular markers for under-utilized crops in Africa--marama bean, bambara nut, cassava and cowpea. Before international connections for this course were developed, students were only able to connect with the use of these crops through the literature. Building on his research contacts in southern Africa, Cullis connects his students with researchers and students in Africa through the use of advanced communication technology. Through interactive lectures and conversations, CWRU students discuss their research interests and, in an interactive net conference at the end of the course, describe their results to their African fellow students. As new markers become available, African partner students report back to CWRU undergraduates on their usefulness. As a result of this ongoing and regularly offered course, CWRU students engage in current problems in sub-Saharan Africa with respect to food security. Their work is directly applied to crops by African researchers and their students. The course has expanded to University of Namibia and been integrated into CWRU's Global Health Initiative. In addition, the international connections have been integrated into other Department of Biology laboratory courses.
In another example, John Orlock, Professor of English, and Denise Caterinacci, Instructor of Modern Languages and Literatures, collaborated on a project that brought together students studying at the University of Urbino with CWRU students of Italian language and playwriting in a co-taught course that covered both playwriting and translation skills. The cross-listed special topics course used the format of a video-conferenced collaborative seminar/workshop involving undergraduate student playwrights and translators. The project developed the skills of translation in respect to dramatic writing and, additionally, the seminar explored the contemporary dramatic literature of both Italy and the United States. At the end of the semester, the classes produced an International CyberFestival of New Plays, a set of teleconference-staged readings of the students' scripts—at CWRU and in Italy—in both Italian and English. This project built on a previous project of Caterinacci's that drew on the expertise of Professor Sanzio Balducci of the University of Urbino to enhance conversational skills of upper-division Italian language students. As a further component of the collaboration with the University of Urbino, Professor Caterinacci takes students to Urbino and other Italian cities during her May Term course, ITAL 308 The Italian Experience. Each of these projects was supported by the World-Wide Learning Environment project.
