The Torres Strait islands are part of the State of Queensland, Australia and the islands of Boigu, Dauan and Saibai are within an active international border where the neighbouring country of Papua New Guinea is visible from those islands’ shorelines. The issues of Customs, Quarantine, Immigration and Defence are administered from Thursday Island within a Treaty that also maintains traditional cultural and trade ties between Papua New Guinea and the people of the Torres Strait. Page 5 HISTORY Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginals occupied the Torres Strait during a period when the celistial tides provided a bridge between Papua New Guinea and Australia over 40,000 years ago. The first place of permanent European settlement in Torres Strait was Somerset, south-east on the tip of Cape York Peninsula and was ocupied from 1863 to 1877. On account of the hazardous tidal channel between Somerset and Albany Island, the settlement was moved to Port Kennedy – Thursday Island - where the harbour was considered safe and with a deep anchorage for the increasing shipping movements of the Pacific traders and the Christian missionaries throughout the Torres Strait. Also with the discovery of pearl shell in the 1860’s this led to the influx of Japanese, Malays, Filipinos, Micronesian and European nationalities to this region.

The date of July 1 is recognised as the “Coming of the Light” and is commemorated annually throughout the Torres Strait. It is a Torres Shire gazetted bank holiday each year. The customary lores that still regulate the practices and customs of today’s traditional and contemporary Torres Strait culture is evident in the continual struggle for greater autonomy by the islanders which dates back to when Luis Vaes De Torres, the first Spanish navigator discovered the Strait. In 1770 Captain James Cook made claim to the east coast of Australia, on Possession Island, in the name of the King of England, the British Crown under international award of terra nullius. This concept was overturned by the Mabo High Court Decision on 3 June 1992 and for this reason this date is now commemorated as Mabo Day – a Torres Shire gazetted bank holiday. The inaugral Island Council Meeting at Masig in August 1937 set about the revival of the need to establish the prominancy of Torres Strait Islanders in Queensland and Local Government on the outer islands which would set a precedent for the Town Council on Thursday Island. The first migration of outer-island tribal group to Thursday Island occurred around the period of 1930 to form Tamwoy Reserve community under the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Act.

Torres Shire Council has established an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) with the Kaurareg Traditional Owners on specific aspects of its development and is covered by Native Title. All commercial activities and social services are generated from Thursday Island. The majority of the business centre is located on Douglas Street where there are hotels, a motel, food takeaways, numerous retail shops including a chemist, newsagency, grocers and bakery, Council Chambers, Australia Post and agent for Commonwealth Bank of Australia, National Bank of Australia, Queensland Public Health Centre & Dental Clinic, Police Station, Court House, a hostel, taxi ranks and residences.

  • Graphical Model for Baskeball Match Simulation
    Graphical Model for Baskeball Match Simulation Min-hwan Oh, Suraj Keshri, Garud Iyengar Columbia University New York, NY, USA, 10027 [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Conventional approaches to simulate matches have ignored that in basketball the dynamics of ball movement is very sensitive to the lineups on the court and unique identities of players on both offense and defense sides. In this paper, we propose the simulation infrastructure that can bridge the gap between player identity and team level network. We model the progression of a basketball match using a probabilistic graphical model. We model every touch and event in a game as a sequence of transitions between discrete states. We treat the progression of a match as a graph, where each node is a network structure of players on the court, their actions, events, etc., and edges denote possible moves in the game flow. Our results show that either changes in the team lineup or changes in the opponent team lineup significantly affects the dynamics of a match progression. Evaluation on the match data for the 2013-14 NBA season suggests that the graphical model approach is appropriate for modeling a basketball match. 1 Introduction Predicting the outcomes of professional sports events is one of the most popular practices in the sports media, fan communities and, of course, sport betting related industries. Predictions range from human prediction to statistical analysis of historical data. In recent years, basketball, specifically the NBA, has received much atten- tion as a domain of analytics with the advent of player tracking data.

    Torres Strait - Options to Reduce Regional Carbon Footprint January 2012 Prepared by: CAT Projects Version Author Reviewer Date 0.1 E Chessell Lyndon Frearson August 2011 1.0 E Chessell Andre Grant, November 2011 John Rainbird Final 3.0 E Chessell Lyndon Frearson Jan 30 2012 Andre Grant, John Rainbird Ekistica Pty Ltd, trading as CAT Projects ABN 74 126 787 853 © CAT Projects 2012 This document is and shall remain the property of CAT Projects. The document may only be used for the purposes for which it was prepared. Any unauthorised use of this document is expressly prohibited. Section 1: Executive Summary The Torres Strait Climate Change Strategy (TSCCS) developed by the Torres Strait Costal Management Committee in 2010 presents the urgency of climate change impacts for Torres Strait communities. Many communities are already threatened by the impact of increasing peak tides, and livelihoods in the region are particularly vulnerable to changes in marine ecosystems due to coral bleaching and warmer water temperatures, and increases in extreme heat and cyclone events. 1 The TSCCS takes a proactive risk management approach to these significant threats and recommends a local greenhouse mitigation program as part of a broad climate action plan. This report contributes to this effort by providing a high level assessment of the regions greenhouse footprint by sector, to inform mitigation planning and decision making, identifying potential avenues to pursue mitigation efforts, and providing an overview of renewable energy options for the region. CAT Projects, working in cooperation with the Centre for Appropriate Technology (CAT), has prepared this report for the TSRA to inform decision making.

    Administration of Barack Obama, 2015 Remarks Honoring the 2014 National Basketball Association Champion San Antonio Spurs January 12, 2015 The President. Well, hello, everybody! Welcome to the White House. Everybody, please have a seat. In case you didn't know, these are the NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs. I was considering having the Vice President cover these remarks so I could stay fresh for the State of the Union. [Laughter] Taking an example off Pop, who sits his stars sometimes—[laughter]— but I decided I actually wanted to meet them. So I know we've got a lot of Spurs fans in the house—no doubt—including a guy I stole from San Antonio, our Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, former Mayor Julián Castro. [Applause] Hey! And of course we want to welcome General Manager R.C. Buford and, of course, Coach Popovich. I want the coach to know that he is not contractually obligated to take questions after the first quarter of my remarks. [Laughter] Now, look, I admit it, I'm a Bulls fan. It's never easy celebrating a non-Bulls team in the White House. [Laughter] That's all I've been able to do—[laughter]—so far. But even I have to admit that the Spurs are hard to dislike. First of all, they're old. [Laughter] And for an old guy, it makes me feel good to see—where's Tim? [Laughter] Tim's got some gray. There's a few others with a little sprinkles around here. There's a reason why the uniform is black and silver.
