The international forces in East Timor have reached an agreement about the coordination of the military and police forces in the field. Representatives of the four countries reached the agreement during an urgent meeting after an incident between Australian and Portuguese soldiers yesterday.

In the agreement reached between Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Portugal and the Timorese government, operational autonomy is given to the international forces, which will operate in cooperation and coordination with each other.

The agreement also stated that in an initial phase Dili will be divided into sectors, and each area will be under the control of an international force. Outside of its area of responsibility, the military or police force will only be able to operate if other international forces request their actions. Also was agreed that the police forces will assume total control of the city after the military forces leave their current occupied positions. A situation that is expected after the arrival of the remaining equipment, mainly vehicles, for the Portuguese Republican National Guard (GNR) and the arrival of the remaining Malaysian police officers and their equipment.

In an official notice, the Timorese Foreign Minister, José Ramos Horta stated that “the objective on a long run is for the GNR to operate has a tactical intervention force in all the city of Dili”.

Ramos Horta explained that “in the next days, maybe already tomorrow morning, they [the Australian, Malaysian, New Zealand and Portuguese forces] will do some coordination training, in way to assure that the four forces know exactly what each one will do”. “Since some are from the Army and the others [Portuguese Republican National Guard] are a specialized police and that they never worked together, its useful to carry out some practical exercises”, he added.

In another subject, Ramos Horta explained that the Australian soldiers that are in Maubisse, next to a rebel group lead by major Reinado, and in Gleno, Ermera, next to another group of “military opponents”, are there “containing those elements”.

“Those groups are not comparable with other people that are here in Dili and that must be disarmed”, Ramos Horta said.

“The Australian presence in Maubisse and Gleno aims in containing those groups on their areas, until arrives the moment in which the President decides that is time for also mister Alfredo Reinado and the others to put down their weapons”, he said. “This is not urgent because they are not causing problems to anyone”, he justified.

The urgency of the resolution and clarification of the command and cooperation of the international forces was originated after an incident between Australian and Portuguese soldiers. When yesterday a Portuguese GNR patrol transported three people to a temporary detention center managed by Australian soldiers.

The detainees were arrested by a GNR Special Operations team, after being caught looting a governmental warehouse, in Balide, Dili.

The Australian soldiers then refused to receive the detained men, questioning the legitimacy of the Portuguese soldiers to make arrests. The Portuguese contingent transported the detainees to the Timorese prison services in Dili.

How To Make Successful Nba Bets?

Here’s An Opinion On:
Sports Betting Tips

Format of the tournament

The League is composed of 30 teams which are equally divided on the Western and Eastern Conferences. The conference includes 3 divisions with 5 clubs in each. The regular championship consists of 82 rounds.

The winners of the divisions and 5 teams with the best winning percentage get into the play-off. The struggle lasts up to 4 wins. The representatives of different Conferences take different nets and will meet only at final match.

Peculiarities of NBA betting online

First of all, you need to get acquainted with the rules. The basketball quarter lasts 12 minutes, nit 10. Also zone defense is forbidden and this fact simplifies the actions of the attacking teams. Basketball association is constantly supporting financially its clubs. The difference in class of the favorites and underdogs is not as large as in European Leagues. 30% of the matches end with the winning of an underdog.

60% of winnings are gained by the hosts of the basketball court. 60% But don’t rely on brands as at a distance the margin will “eat” the part of the profit. Search for deeper regularities and bet on handicaps.

NBA is good for total bets. Bookmakers propose the action line up to 15 steps of total in both side and the margin doesn’t exceed 4 %.

One month before the start of the season, the clubs spend preseason games. The team plays 6-10 games which purpose is to estimate the basketball players and tactical progress. Such matches create the model of a game for a forthcoming season.

Winning series seldom last more than 10 matches. If your bank is huge enough use Dogon. Or, better , join the game when the team has won 5-7 times in a row.

The last team of a previous championship can become a leader in a year. Use statistics only of a current season.

Useful regularities of NBA betting

Important matches are usually played on total under. If we compare with regular championship, fewer goals are scored at play-off. The sportsmen are focused on defense and don’t risk. The tendency is the same during the first matches of a season.

Score 0:2 in a series is a verdict. NHL hockey players go further having lost two or three games in a row. But at NBA, the team that got such advantage was able to reach the next round only in 93-95% of cases. The score 0:2 had happened 280 times but only 18 times the team was able to win back.

The teams that have renewed their squads during the shoulder period, don’t demonstrate their perfect game during the opening match. The freshers need some time for adaptation as basketball demands team-work.

Bets on NBA winner

3-4 teams usually give points to other participants of the League by a level of game. Golden State Warriors, Cleveland and San Antonio regularly fight for the title. But shootouts are unpredictable that is why while making the prediction on the winner of the tournament, work, at least, with 10-12 pretenders.

Over the history of tournament, the competition was won by 17 teams out of 30. If the winner is clear at play-off, then the bets are like lottery. Especially when the equal teams are fighting for the title. Think about the bets on leader of the Conference or Division or just agree to bet that the team will get into the play-off stage.

NBA basketball betting strategy

Zig Zag theory is used for betting on play-off. Even Top clubs don’t win all the time and due to this fact some amazing outcome can happen. The matter is that you bet on a team that has lost the previous match. After the failure, the team is figuring out the mistakes and tactics diligently and the players are serious.

This factor is taken into consideration by the experts of bookmakers. The club is winning over the rivals but instead of increasing the handicap during the next meeting, it is the same or even slightly decreased. The same situation at the regular championship leads to increase of handicap at 2-3 points.

Strategy is good for competitive matches. Ignore the events with obvious favorite even if it is not marked at coefficients. Ill -judged bets won’t become successful. Don’t over – and underestimate the team.

Summary

Except unique peculiarities and regularities the NBA betting has its advantages:

– Regularity of events – every day during the season;

– Wide line and margin 3-4% on popular markets;

– A lot of information and statistics for analysis;

Bookmakers analyses NBA matches and that is why the bets have also some disadvantages:

– Ideal line of value coefficients;

– Tendencies are changing rapidly that is why there are no long-term strategies.

Bear in mind all regularities of the tournament, keep to the strategies you have chosen and analyze every choice. Don’t be afraid to use American resources.

French workers use threats in compensation demand

Posted on November 3, 2021November 4, 2021 by

Friday, July 17, 2009Following similar threats by workers at New Fabris and Nortel, workers at JLG in Tonneins, France, threatened to blow up several platform cranes. The JLG factory announced in April 2009 that it will fire 53 of its 163 workers by the end of 2009, while the remaining 110 jobs will not be secure over the next 2 years.

JLG Tonneins was acquired in 2006 with its parent JLG Industries, a maker of aerial work platforms, by the U.S.-based Oshkosh Corporation. Despite being hugely profitable in the past, production has been much reduced since 2008 with the contraction of the construction industry and lower demand for its products. Despite excellent past results the new American management demanded sweeping cuts at the company.

In the view of locals, “the company’s actions are a disgrace given the expensive perks, such as official cars, for its corporate fat cats, compared to the sacrifice, silence, and dignity demanded by the company of those it has made redundant.”

The management offered severance pay of € 3,000 (US $4,200), however the workers demanded a severance package commensurate with “the wealth that their labor has generated.” Worker’s delegates requested a “supra-legal” payment of € 30,000, on Thursday 16 of July the management responded with a counter offer of € 16,000. On Thursday night the worker’s actions secured the € 30,000 settlement initially demanded.

Wikinews interviews British sensory biologist Dominic Clarke about floral electric fields and bees

Posted on October 30, 2021October 31, 2021 by

Sunday, February 24, 2013

Last Thursday, British sensory biologist Dominic Clarke and other authors published research about detection of floral electric fields by bees in journal Science. The research involved studying bees’ reaction to flowers with different electric fields. The researches concluded that bees can choose flowers based on their electric fields, and remember them as they do with color and other characteristics of flowers.

This Friday Wikinews interviewed Dominic Clarke about the research.

((Wikinews)) What caused your initial interest in electric fields of flowers?

Dominic Clarke: There has been a considerable amount of speculation in the scientific literature since the 60s about the role of electric fields in pollination. It has been suggested that the electric field that arises between a charged bee and a grounded flower may be responsible for increasing the efficiency of pollen transfer between the two. We looked at this literature as sensory biologists and naturally formed the question ‘can bees sense these fields?’. Since we couldn’t find any answers to that question in the literature, we decided to find out for ourselves.

((WN)) How was the new phenomenon discovered?

DC: We use what’s called ‘differential conditioning’, where bees are trained to find a sucrose reward from an array of flowers, where only half of the flowers contain the reward. In our experiment, the flowers that were rewarded (with a sugary solution) were marked with a small electric field (about the same strength as around a flower in the wild). The ones that were not rewarded were not marked with fields. Since the electric field is the only thing that differs between the two flowers, we know that if the bees can learn to tell them apart, they can sense the electric field. Our bees were able to pick the rewarded flower 80% of the time when the electric field was present as a cue. When the electric field was switched off, they could only get it right half the time, which is the same as if they were just picking flowers at random.

((WN)) How many species of flowers and bees did you study during your research?

DC: We focus on one species of bee, the bumblebee Bombus terrestris. And we look mainly at Petunia flowers (P. integrifolia). These two species provide the bulk of our data, but we do consider other flowers like geraniums, daisies, clematis and foxglove, and other species of bee (particularly the honeybee Apis mellifera).

((WN)) Do you have diagrams, sketches, or drawings of electric field around a bee and a flower?

DC: I have attached a picture of a computer model of the electric field around a flower called “Flower Potentials and Fields”.

((WN)) Was it known that bees have a charge before?

DC: Yes, reports as early as the 70s have measured electrical charge on bees, but it was not known before whether or not they could sense such charges.

((WN)) What environment did you study the flowers and bees in? A laboratory? A garden? Natural environment?

DC: The behavioural tests were carried out in a laboratory because we needed to be able to precisely control the environment in which the bees were tested. Future work will be aimed at trying to get out into the bees’ natural environment and trying to figure out exactly what role(s) this sense plays in their lives.

((WN)) What equipment was used during the research? How did you measure the charge?

DC: Charge was measured using a device called a “Faraday Pail”. It is basically an electrically shielded metal cup, the voltage of which changes according to how much charge is inside it. We can measure this voltage when a bee flies in and so measure its charge. We did this with 51 individual bees.

((WN)) What were the roles of the people involved in the research? What activity was most time-consuming?

DC: It was very collaborative in all aspects of the research. I carried out the bulk of the experimental work and data analysis, but the process of designing the experiment, figuring out how to do the analysis, choosing which ideas to follow and which to put on the shelf etc., that is highly collaborative. Then of course comes the long period of writing, re-writing, re-re-writing, sending out to colleagues for feedback, re-re-re-writing, submission, peer-review, editing re-submission etc. which is also a collaboration between all the authors. A large part of doing science is talking as well; meeting, planning brainstorming. It feels to me like putting together the paper took the longest, but perhaps that’s just because it’s the most fresh in my mind.

((WN)) What do you see as possible directions for future research in this field? What do you think possible applications of the discovery can be?

DC: The two big questions now are “how do the bees do this?” and “why do they do this?”. The first is a case of pinning down the sensory mechanism used by the bees to detect the fields, and the second will involve a great deal of field-based experiments. We need to get out of the laboratory and understand the role this phenomenon plays in the lives of bees in the wild.

((WN)) Thank you for sharing your insight and details. Have a good time.
