JosÃ© Teixeira gave a keynote address about Timor-Leste's petroleum sector and its 2005/2006 offshore acreage release. He discussed Timor-Leste's history from a Portuguese colony to independence, its current economy and political system. He also summarized the Timor Sea Treaty that established a joint development area between Timor-Leste and Australia for offshore oil and gas resources, and the roles of the Timor Sea Designated Authority and Timor-Leste's government in managing its petroleum sector. The offshore bidding round was presented as an opportunity for Timor-Leste's newest nation to develop its petroleum resources and economy.

East Timor - Developing Economics

guestafea

East Timor has made progress since independence but faces many challenges of a post-conflict state, including high poverty, political instability, and limited economic opportunities. It has a low HDI ranking of 150th and relies heavily on agriculture. Recent violence has damaged development. It receives aid from organizations but needs more foreign investment to support industrialization goals and long-term growth. Maintaining stability and developing infrastructure and employment remain key priorities.

Selina Lin

East Timor is a mountainous island located west of Darwin, Australia. It was occupied by Portugal until Indonesia annexed it in 1975. This led to conflict, including a civil war in 1975 and an Indonesian invasion and occupation. East Timor gained independence in 2002 after voting for it in 1999. Australia's involvement in East Timor has included not initially supporting its independence, leading an international intervention force in 1999 to stop violence, and continuing support through aid and military presence to maintain stability. Stability in East Timor is important for Australia to prevent conflict from requiring more resources and potentially harming relations with Indonesia.

Timor leste

Randy Nobleza

East Timor has a complex cultural heritage formed by its 450 year resistance against foreign occupiers including Portugal, Indonesia, and its current status as an independent nation. This cultural heritage includes memorial sites commemorating independence struggles and human rights abuses under occupation. There is ongoing debate between older and younger generations about how to characterize the nation's identity and historical narrative. East Timor aims to unify its people through preserving diverse aspects of its cultural legacy while acknowledging different experiences of colonialism.

Ludovic Bourgoin

East Timor was formerly a Portuguese colony and then an Indonesian colony until gaining independence in 1999. It has a lower-middle income economy that continues to suffer from the effects of its independence struggle. 70% of its infrastructure was destroyed during violence in 1999. It relies heavily on international assistance and is one of the poorest countries in the world. The majority of East Timorese are Catholic and the national languages are Tetum and Portuguese, though Indonesian and English are used for business. Understanding East Timor's history, politics, and adapting to the local culture are important for businesses operating there.

This document discusses using sidewalk astronomy as a public outreach strategy. It summarizes research on visitors to the Science Centre Observatory and sidewalk astronomy events. Visitors to the observatory tended to be young, educated and learn astronomy online but did not represent the general public. Sidewalk events attracted non-museum goers and were more effective for public education. Surveys found that sidewalk attendees had little prior stargazing experience but were curious and felt the events increased their understanding and awareness of astronomy. The document concludes sidewalk astronomy is a good way to partner with local communities and reach more people to fulfill the mission of promoting science interest.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them

Aggregage

https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs. In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs. Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will: • Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples • Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals • Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals • Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address • Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
