The opening of casinos is looking a sure bet
On November 27, 2021 by Jerome Diggs
The forces of influence are increasingly getting behind the opening of a legal casino in Thailand, more likely than not in Pattaya.
The renewed interest in the legalisation of casinos and the momentum the proposal is gathering suggest the Thai people may soon no longer have to traipse across our borders to Burma, Cambodia or Malaysia for a flutter.
Increasingly we hear the supporting arguments: increased revenue from tourism, curbs on the money flowing out of the country, and indirect controls on sources of funding for political parties.
Pattaya, the resort capital of the eastern seaboard, has emerged as the clear favourite to house the first casino as it has the backing of politicians and influential associates.
Also favouring a legal casino is Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra's undertaking to bring shadowy businesses into the legitimate sphere so more money can be tapped from tourism.
The public are now repeatedly being bombarded with arguments suggesting a casino in Pattaya has huge potential. Its main backers are a group of entrepreneurs in government and their powerful associates like Somchai Khunpluem, the mayor of Bang Saen in Chon Buri widely known as Kamnan Poh.
Kamnan Poh insists Pattaya is the ideal location for Thailand's first ป๊อกเด้ง ไฮโล casino. He wants it built at Ambassador City Jomtien Hotel.
There are also interested parties overseas, in Las Vegas, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. The Las Vegas connection is favoured as it is thought to have more experience in casino operations.
Almost 1,000 rai in central Pattaya is also being considered for a horse track and amusement park.
The momentum has even caught up the prime minister, who says a casino here would be world class and would be manageable similar to Las Vegas. But he is not rushing into anything and has called for studies and public hearings before pushing ahead.
Kamnan Poh, the father of Tourism and Sports Minister Sonthaya Khunpluem, said the best way to generate income amid the economic downturn was to find ways to attract more foreign tourists by showing them Thailand was a safe destination with plenty of interest to outsiders.
Kamnan Poh and friends and the prime minister's own advisers led by Sanoh Thienthong have long pushed for a casino in Pattaya.
A survey they conducted in Chon Buri in October found nearly 60,000 local residents in support of the project. Figures were unavailable for those opposed
A majority of the respondents supposedly said the casino would attract more foreign tourists to the area, stem money outflows, generate income, and prevent the laundering of money earned through illegal operations.
The prime minister was notified of the survey results but he reportedly told his advisers to sit on the project for the time being.
The mood is thought to have swung even further in favour of legal casinos, especially given the repeated reports of the police's failure to crack down on illegal gambling dens while raking off at least 10 million baht a month for themselves from every gambling den in Bangkok alone.
It became blindingly clear that illegal gambling is a major contributor to corruption when Pol Lt-Col Santhana Prayoonrat, a former Special Branch Bureau 4 deputy chief, revealed details of 11 gambling dens in Bangkok and seven Thai-owned casinos across the border in Cambodia. He also accused state officials of receiving 7.5 million baht a month from casinos in Cambodia.
Pol Lt-Col Santhana came out in public after he was sacked from the force in November for obstructing a police raid on a gambling den.
Government-sponsored research into gambling conducted by Chulalongkorn University economists headed by Sangsit Piriyarangsan also appears to support the legalising of casinos.
The study found that between 500 and 800 billion baht passes through the illegal gambling business in Thailand each year and 71-84 billion baht is spent by Thai gamblers at casinos in neighbouring and other countries.
The research found that gambling had become more widespread and was causing many people financial problems since 2001, when around 40 million Thais dabbled in one or more of 15 types of gambling and spent more than 9,000 baht each.
The money channelled through gambling amounts to almost 40% of the local economy.
The study also found a direct link between gambling and politics as most of the money used to buy votes and support different politicians came from gambling.
Statistics show that police officers were paid between 6.67 and 13.65 billion baht in 2001 for turning a blind eye to or even aiding gambling.
Other studies propose that casinos be legalised only after the police force has been reformed to do away with corruption.
Some research suggests that the legalising of casinos would benefit politics overall by cutting off the supply of funds for vote-buying and by preventing politicians and state officials from benefiting from illegal operations.
One paper found that there were 3,201 casinos being run lawfully in 133 countries, and case studies had shown that these had helped to promote tourism and increase state earnings from taxation.
On the other side of the coin, there are fears a legal casino could fuel crime, immorality and social problems, causing added personal debt and opening new channels of corruption.
Some people say casinos should be operated by public companies and be managed openly to prevent a monopoly.
Research by a House of Representatives committee came to conclusions similar to those of Mr Sangsit's team
With the prime minister leaning towards the opening of a legal casino and the tourism minister clearly favouring the eastern seaboard as a centre of sports and entertainment, Pattaya clearly is odds on favourite to become the home of betting in Thailand.
There is also the matter, say the critics, of a casino generating income for the Thai Rak Thai party and cutting off supplies to its rival Democrat party.
And, of course, if successful, why stop at one casino in Pattaya? Might not Phuket, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Bangkok also benefit from such a facility?

Ligaz11 Review of Getting the Best of It
On October 22, 2021 by Jerome Diggs
Over the last two decades, David Sklansky has been one of the most prolific as well as one of the most engaging gambling writers. During this time, little in the gambling world has escaped his attention. Nowhere is this more evident than in Getting the Best of It. In this book Sklansky covers an exceptionally broad range of gambling topics including, but by no means limited to, poker, blackjack, horse racing, and even keno.
Sklansky's first section covers mathematics. Most of these topics are pretty elementary, but if the reader doesn't understand them, they'll have a hard time making any money gambling. As Sklansky point out, even the math adverse would be well advised to expend the energy to understand the essays in this section. Two of the essays are likely to be of interest even to someone who already understands basic probability theory. One of these essays covers Bayes' Theorem, the other is titled "An Interesting Dice Proposition".
In the next section, Sklansky covers what most folks would consider his forte, the game of poker. In my opinion, this set of 12 essays represents some of the best brief ideas ever written about the game. I don't agree with absolutely every detail Sklansky writes about here, but every essay contains at least one, and usually more than one, engaging thought. In my opinion, these essays are excellent in promoting "thinking practice" among readers. If one uses these essays as examples of how a player can think about situations they encounter, I would all but guarantee that this would bring about significant improvement in one's play.
Section three covers blackjack. Again, I mostly agree with everything Sklansky has to say. At this point, most, but not all, of these topics have been discussed in other sources in the gambling literature, but that doesn't mean that this information isn't worthwhile. Of the six sections in this book, the one on blackjack is probably weakest, but I still found it worthwhile. Section four covers other casino games, including the only significant analysis of "crapless craps" I can recall seeing in print, and, believe it or not, some worthwhile keno information.
Next, the author discusses sports and horse betting. While this isn't a comprehensive coverage of handicapping or wagering, there is important information here. I believe Sklansky correctly outlines just how difficult these games are to beat. If a given method which claims to overcome the vig at sports or race betting doesn't specifically address the issues that Sklansky discusses in this section, I'd be willing to bet that the strategy in question won't be a long-term winner. The last section covers "General Gambling Concepts". It includes two of my favorite Sklansky essays, "The Law of Averages and Other Fallacies" and "Another ligaz11 Gambling Paradox". If a significant percentage of casino patrons deeply understood these two essays, it would profoundly affect the profitability of casinos everywhere.
There are a few essays in this collection that miss or are no longer as relevant as they once were, such as the author's essays on progressive slot machines. I would also understand if a reader who had a narrow gambling focus (on blackjack, for example) was hesitant to pay this much money when they're only interested in a small percentage of the book. However, anyone with a general interest in gambling, or anyone who wants to learn to think deeply about any wagering endeavor would be well advised to read Getting the Best of It. Note that many of these essays are from a column Sklansky wrote in the 80s for the magazine Gambling Times, so if one has a complete collection of his articles there, it may not be worth the cost of acquiring this book, even for the updates and section introductions. Getting the Best of It is now in its second edition. There are some updates, but the differences in the two editions are definitely not significant enough for one to want to upgrade their first edition.
Capsule:
Getting the Best of It is a collection of some of David Sklansky's best writing. In this book, Sklansky writes provocative and valuable information about a wide variety of gambling topics. While it may seem a bit broad for those gamblers who have a very narrow focus, it's chief benefit is as a model for how gamblers looking for an edge can think more effectively about how to approach casino games. In this respect, it succeeds handsomely.
Field favored in Derby Future Wager
On September 26, 2021 by Jerome Diggs
Despite the star power of champions Declan's Moon and Sweet Catomine, Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia has installed the mutuel field as the 3-1 morning line favorite for the first of three pools of the 2005 Kentucky Derby Future Wager, which opens Thursday and runs through Sunday.
The mutuel field includes all three-year-olds other than the 23 horses listed as individual betting interests.
Unbeaten juvenile champion Declan's Moon is the favored individual horse at 6-1 with Rockport Harbor, who is bidding to give trainer John Servis his second consecutive Derby victory, installed as the 8-1 choice.
Sweet Catomine, the champion two-year-old filly, is a wagering interest in the opening pool of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager and the Kentucky Oaks Future Wager, which will be offered at the same time.
BIG HAUL, BUT NOT FOR BETTORS: Books get all they can handle
In terms of dynasties, the New England Patriots don't compare to Nevada sports books.
A record of just under $90.8 million was wagered on Super Bowl XXXIX, and the state's 173 sports books won a record $15.4 million, according to figures released Tuesday by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
Nevada sports books have posted a win in 10 consecutive Super Bowls. The Patriots beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 on Sunday, winning their second consecutive Super Bowl and third in four years.
"I was shocked," Stardust sports book director Bob Scucci said. "The win didn't shock me, but certainly the total handle did."
In last year's Super Bowl, the Patriots' win over Carolina produced a record total handle of $81.2 million and a record win of $12.4 million for the state's 152 books.
"Last year, we were really surprised with the jump. It all came back to the economy turning around, and we also saw that in the rest of the gaming numbers," said Frank Streshley, the control board's statistical analyst.
Streshley credited marketing efforts by the casinos for attracting more visitors for Super Bowl weekend. But he said in the days leading up to the game "we had gotten mixed signals" from sports book directors about whether the handle would set a record.
The handle of $90,759,236 was up 11.7 percent over last year, the win of $15,430,138 was up 24 percent, and the books' 17.0 win percentage also set a record.
Station Casinos sports book director Micah Roberts said he expected the bigger numbers.
"The other books I talked to all said the handle was up," Roberts said. "Our Judi Qq numbers were exactly indicative of that, as far as the increase goes."
MGM Mirage sports book director Robert Walker estimated the handle would be $70 to $77 million but said the handle at his books was up 5 percent over last year. He took several six-figure bets, the largest for $550,000 on New England as a 7-point favorite.
Roberts said he expected the Patriots' dominance and the hype surrounding injured Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens to create betting interest in the matchup.
New England did not cover the spread and the game went under the total of 47 1/2, two factors that contributed greatly to the casinos' win.
Streshley said the books needed the Patriots to win but not cover. He said the most popular wagers statewide were on the Patriots laying the points, the Eagles to win straight up on the money line and for the score to go over the total. Most parlays were on the Patriots and the over. Proposition betting also was profitable for the books.
"The last touchdown was huge for the sports books," Streshley said, referring to Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb's TD pass with 1:48 remaining that cut the final deficit to three points.
Scucci said the last score "had to double" the win for the books. "It would not have set a state record otherwise."
Nevada sports books showed a Super Bowl loss of $396,674 in 1995, when San Francisco routed San Diego.
The total amount wagered on the Super Bowl has increased each of the past four years and is up from $71.5 million in 2002, when New England started its run by beating St. Louis.
Barça keep Bartomeu Qiu Qiu while Roma block Real
JOSEP BARTOMEU SEES OFF THE CHALLENGE OF JUAN LAPORTA TO STAY PRESIDENT OF FC BARCELONA, WHILE RAFAEL BENITEZ'S FIRST GAME IN CHARGE OF REAL MADRID IS A STALEMATE DOWN UNDER.
THE SPANISH WEEK IN REVIEW
* After all the hype of a second coming with star-studded backing for Juan Laporta as FC Barcelona president, 47,080 club members re-elected incumbent Josep Bartomeu for another six years instead.
Bartomeu's victory, garnering 54.6% of the votes, was bigger than predicted.
"We have proved that not just on the field we are the best team in the world," he waxed.
Bartomeu took over in January 2014 after president Sandro Rosell, director of Qiu Qiu Andoni Zubizaretta and assistant Carlos Puyol all resigned in the wake of the Neymar transfer scandal and the subsequent year-long transfer ban on the club.
Accepting his win, he pledged to forge ahead with the €600 million "Espai Barcelona" plan for remodelling the entire Camp Nou stadium complex.
Laporta conceded defeat but added, in English, "No surrender, never give up," explaining that the Qatar connection is slowly destroying the unique culture that is FCB. He called Bartomeu "a processed president who will destroy La Masia" (the club's youth academy) and said the club is "trapped by Qatar."
The 2022 World Cup host nation has become such tainted goods in the light of human rights abuse revelations and the ongoing FIFA scandal, that Agusti Benedito had pledged to ditch Barça's shirt sponsors by 2016 and even Bartomeu announced there was an unnamed Asian electronics firm (rumoured to be Rakuten) with the money ready to replace the Qatar Foundation.
"We will continue to fight what is happening at Barcelona," Laporta insisted. "It remains clear there are two ways (of running it)". So no love lost then.
Laporta had Johann Cruyff ("The situation at the club is unacceptable with all the accusations") and Pep Guardiola supporting his campaign, and had dangled the prospect of Paul Pogba in the blaugrana in front of the faithful, with the Frenchman's agent confirming his player would move to Catalonia if Laporta were elected, but more than half of Barça's members opted instead to keep the status quo after a perfect trophy haul in 2015.
If what matters at the end of the day is winning football matches, it seems a case of 'if it works, don't fix it.'
But being president of one of Spain's big two comes with near impossible demands and while Bartomeu basks in the limelight of his presidential victory, he also knows the knives will be sharpened again as soon as FCB fail to win La Liga or the Champions League.
Luis Enrique, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique made sure they voted before joining their colleagues to jet off to the United States for their pre-season tour.
Missing from FCB's lineup in America however will be Lionel Messi, Neymar, Claudio Bravo, Javier Mascherano and Dani Alves, whose Copa America duties have earned them a well-earned rest.
BARÇA PRESIDENTIAL RESULTS:
Josep Bartomeu 55%
Juan Laporta 33 %
Agusti Benedito 7%
Toni Freixa 4%
* And finally Iker Casillas left the building for good. Real Madrid's storied goalkeeper had been slowly heading toward the exit ever since Costa Rica's outstanding World Cup keeper Keylor Navas was acquired last summer and aged 34 was not getting any younger.
But Florentino Perez's summary sale of one of Real's longest-serving soldiers has nevertheless been met with some dismay in Madrid. Coach Rafael Benitez said he was unhappy how the issue was dividing Real's fans when it was a finished story.
Casillas is still first choice for Spain after all and despite the boos now and again from insatiable fan sections, shows few signs of diminishing powers for club nor country.
Some fans on the airwaves and in the letters pages this week have been slamming the Real owner and vowing to forsake the Bernabeu until he leaves the scene.
Seeing their 19-trophy legend in Porto colours this week has come as a shock to the system as Casillas has been on the books of Real for 25 years, and a ready, worthy replacement does not seem forthcoming, although Navas has not been given enough chances to establish himself thus far.
Johann Cruyff, while voicing his support for Juan Laporta in the Barça presidential elections, also paid tribute to the departing goalkeeper:
"He has always been a gentleman on and off the field and an example to everyone," he said. From Catalonia, Spain teammate Xavi said Casillas had been poorly treated by his club.
One has to reduce by at least 50% any truth contained in the daily Real press hyperbole, but clearly Casillas' rapid departure has been controversial. In Madrid this week, Casillas shirts and photos were suddenly discounted, a sad reflection of a done deal.
His tearful farewell to the press stamped his image as a man of honour, which paints Perez as the villain of the piece if any blame were to be appointed.
Casillas nevertheless has been accused of briefing against Jose Mourinho after being dropped and one has to wonder how much of his parents' raging attack on the Real Madrid president in the press was a proxy action.
By some quirk, Iker Casillas has been replaced by the similar-sounding Kiko Casilla, like him a Bernabeu product before being sold to Espanyol in 2008.
The 28 year-old should slot into Real's No.2 slot behind Navas, but his acquisition also puts the whole David De Gea project back a notch. Real's third custodian is 23 year old Spaniard Fernando Pacheco.
De Gea is out of contract next summer at Old Trafford, so instead of breaking the bank this summer, Real may wait to pounce then for free instead.
The latest theories insisted Louis Van Gaal would only sell his goalkeeper if Sergio Ramos moved in the other direction, but that looks ever more unlikely before the 1st of September transfer deadline.
Ramos seems set to stay at the Bernabeu as Benitez rates him so highly.
"I see the future with Sergio," the Real coach said this week, "because he is a key player because of his abilities and quality on the field and for his leadership and mentality in the dressing room."
* Spain won the UEFA U-19 Championship Final defeating Russia 2-0 in Katerini, Greece.
Real Madrid youngster Borja Mayoral scored the first after 37 minutes and won the tournament's golden boot. Villareal's Argentine-born Matias Nahuel grabbed the clincher twelve minutes from time.
SPAIN U-19: Sivera (Valencia II), Martin (Espanyol II), Mere (Gijon), Merino (Osasuna), Ceballos (Betis), Mayoral (Real Madrid II), Asensio (Real Madrid), Hernandez (Villareal II), Vallejo (Real Zaragoza), Pedraza (Villareal II), Borja (Racing Santander).
subs: Leiva (Villareal II) for Pedraza 74′, Marin (Almeria II) for Borja 81′, Fernandez (Sevilla II) for Mayoral 90′.
Spain had lost 3-1 to Russia in the group stage, where they beat Germany 3-0 and drew 1-1 with the Netherlands. In the semi-final they defeated France 2-0.
La Roja's record in UEFA's 2015 finals competitions stands thus:
U-17 – Quarter-Finalists; Champions: France
U-19 – Champions
U-21 – Did Not Qualify; Champions: Sweden
Spain at senior level remain European Champions following their 2012 win in Poland and will defend their title next summer in France.
* Atletico Madrid have signed Fiorentina's 24 year-old centre-back Stefan Savic for €12 million plus colchonero midfielder Mario Suarez.
* MK Dons have signed Real Madrid reserve Cristian Benavente on a two-year deal. The 21 year-old attacking midfielder has eight caps for Peru.
* Javier Tebas, president of Spain's Professional Football League, confirmed he does not see eye to eye with Angel Maria "all the fish are sold" Villar Llona, president of the Spanish F.A. and vice-president on FIFA's Executive Committee, and that he would be supporting a rival candidate for his post.
"I cannot get anything done with Villar," he told Marca. "Angel has done good things for football but for some time he has not adapted to the reality of modern football…What is FIFA's vice-president doing not talking about all that has happened? Did he forget, did he not want to or could he not? There are colleagues of his in prison for corruption."
* One of the summer's longest running rumours got closure as Belgian international defender Toby Alderweireld left Atletico Madrid for Tottenham on a five-year deal.
* Atletico are still seeking Filipe Luis from Chelsea but Jose Mourinho said if they want the Brazilian defender, "they'll have to pay."
* Valencia have signed promising Brazilian midfielder Danilo Barbosa on a year's loan from Sporting Braga with an option to buy. The 19 year-old captained Brazil at the FIFA U-20 World Cup this summer in New Zealand, where the seleçao lost 2-1 in the final to Serbia.
* Sevilla have signed Brazilian left-back Mariano Ferreira from Bordeaux in a three-year deal. The 29 year-old had a €20 million release clause.
* Getafe have acquired Argentine centre-back Santiago Vergini on a two-year loan from Sunderland.
* Newly promoted Las Palmas have signed midfielder Jonathan Viera on a three-year deal from Standard Liege for €900,000 following a half-year loan.
*The Red Devils are said to be keen to buy Pedro from Barcelona, whom they will play in a friendly next Saturday in Santa Clara, California, where a possible deal could be ironed out.
A figure of €25-29 million has been mentioned, and Pedro may be tempted to link up with friends Ander Herrera and Juan Mata at Old Trafford, although Barça boss Luis Enrique is said to be against Pedro leaving.
The Spanish international's arrival could mean Angel Di Maria leaving England, but the former Real wide man is not expected to return to Spain, with PSG in pole position for the Argentine's signature.
In another join-the-dots story, the Sunday People newspaper claimed Louis Van Gaal will launch an audacious raid for Gareth Bale next week, right.
* UEFA have put their foot down and reminded Barcelona they cannot play €41 million capture Arda Turan in any match, friendlies included, until their transfer ban expires in January.
* Rafael Benitez's Real Madrid reign began with a 7-6 penalty shoot-out defeat to Roma following a 0-0 draw in front of 80,746 in Melbourne.
Real played a 4-2-3-1 with Keylor Navas in goal, Sergio Ramos as skipper, Martin Odegaard starting and a bearded Gareth Bale with relative freedom on the right of a trident behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
The team missed a host of goalscoring chances but showed signs of adopting more of a pressing game and a new formation. The starting line-up appears largely to be Benitez's preferred although the teenage Odegaard did not convince and Benitez admitted they were debating sending him out on loan. The team missed chances and Ronaldo looked frustrated as usual. It is early days.
Real Madrid: Navas, Ramos, Marcel, Carvalho, Varane, Modric, Bale, Illarramendi, Odegaard, Ronaldo, Jese. Half-time subs: Arbeloa, Pepe, Kroos, Benzema, Silva, Pepe, Cheryshev, Nacho, Isco, Vasquez, Danilo.
Footbo Judi Online24Jam Terpercaya
On August 12, 2021 by Jerome Diggs
Footbo, a social community network for football fans from all around the world has grown from strength to strength since it was launched in June 2008. And things are about to get even better!
Since its launch coinciding with Euro 2008, Footbo has stamped itself on the online map for football fans. The niche platform boasts an international network entirely dedicated to football and football-specific features ensuring that the football experience is unparalleled and was designed to enable world-wide interaction between Judi Online24Jam Terpercaya football fans wherever they are and whoever they support.
Users have their own personal profile page where they identify their favourite teams and players, as well as choosing who would be their first-choice starting line-up, if they could pick any player. Combined with the latest news and content, updates on fixtures and results, and of course Footbo's flag-ship Prediction League and post-match Player Grading, the set-up is indeed close to being perfect.
Footbo has really come into its own by creating a platform where arm-chair fans have been able to interact with famous football analysts such as Guillem Balague, Raphael Honigstein and Gabriele Marcotti. Add to that the ability for fans to communicate with professional players, as was recently the case with Arsenal and Cameroon star Alexandre Song (who created a profile on the site and wrote blogs from the Olympics where he represented his national team) and Footbo is heading in a direction which will surely raise some eyebrows.
If that's not the kicker, here it comes – very soon, Footbo users will have a whole new world opened up to them. The social network will combine the professional world of football with the amateur one. What does that mean though? Footbo's Amateur Section will provide amateur players of all kind with a platform to show-case their talents and communicate with one another in an authentic environment. And the last sentence doesn't even do it justice.
Marseille Vs Liverpool
When the draw for this season's Champions League group phase took place, I was on an adventure holiday, somewhere in wilderness that is Canada's Yukon Territory. In a province that is home to more bears than people (a claim my visit served to substantiate), communication with the outside world, particularly that separated by oceanic waters, is often problematic. Consequently, I had to wait until the road I was travelling on brought me to Fairbanks, and the relative centre of civilisation that is Alaska, before I could get an internet connection and discover who Liverpool had been drawn against.
By that time however, most flights connecting anywhere near Liverpool with anywhere near any of the clubs we had been drawn against, on any date near the respective match days, were either full or stupidly overpriced. To further complicate matters, there was no way of getting in touch with any of the old folks back home, to inquire of itineraries selected by my fellow Liverpool fans. With time at a premium, I made the decision on that ridiculously bright Alaskan night, to book a flight and a hired car, and travel alone to this season's first competitive European away fixture.
This year's continental campaign was to begin at Marseille, a team Liverpool are starting to get to know well. This would be my third trip to watch the Reds play at the Stad Velodrome in six seasons. I opted to fly to Barcelona on the morning of the game, and after a quick scan at the other passengers, it appeared I was the only Liverpool fan on board. So I buried my head in Jamie Carragher's autobiography, and hardly looked up from take off to landing.
I was half was through the third chapter when we landed, and was in the middle of a story about Jan Molby running rings around Everton centre halves, when I looked to my left and realised I had been sitting next to the great Dane himself. I was almost disappointed, as I had missed the opportunity to quiz the best passer of a ball I have ever seen about his career. I'm sure Jan was quite relieved. He signed my book and posed for a photograph, after which I inquired as to whether he needed a lift to Marseille. But of course, he was being met and was to be escorted on the 300-mile trip up the Mediterranean coast. It would have been a little far fetched to do a European away trip with one of your boyhood heroes anyway. For now at least, it appeared I was destined for solitude.
I arrived in the French port six hours later, by which time I should have been painfully aware that after a energy-sapping night watching Liverpool beat Marseille once again, I was faced with the same journey home, followed immediately by a full day at the office back in Liverpool. But as my old mate little Danny always said, 'sleeping's cheating'. It had been six months since my last European adventure, and the pain of losing to Chelsea in last season's Champions League semi-final was now consigned to history. Buoyed by our victory over Man United over the weekend, I was looking forward to seeing another Liverpool triumph. The remaining details of the itinerary were from that moment discarded, particularly after I had met up with the few reds who had bothered to make the rip.
The match in Marseille proved remarkably similar to our outing the previous weekend, particularly the opening exchanges. We faced a bright and adventurous Marseille team, who looked destined to threaten the Liverpool defence. That threat was realised on twenty-three minutes, when Cana put the home side ahead and sent the home fans into fits of hysteria. The French side remain one of the best supported in world football, and they must have thought their chances of securing a second victory over Liverpool in two seasons was on the cards.
Thankfully, Liverpool's increasingly resilient side had other plans. Captain marvel Steven Gerrard in particular, was in no mood to open the European campaign with a defeat. He scored twice in quick succession to give Liverpool an ultimately decisive lead. His first was a brilliantly taken goal three minutes after the opening strike. His second came from the penalty spot five minutes later, and sent a message to Europe that Liverpool will no longer be reduced to salvaging qualification in the latter phases of the group stage.
It might be early days, but Rafa Benitez's side look set to have qualification for the Super Sixteen round of the competition sewn up before travelling to Eindhoven for our final group game. PSV are unlikely to halt Liverpool's progress in either meeting between the two clubs. New boys Atletico Madrid, who won 4-0 in Holland on match day one, are likely to represent our most serious threat to winning the group. Our next away fixture in the competition is against the Spanish club in five weeks time, a meeting that could decide the order of the top two in Group D. After that, all roads lead to Rome.
Monday 26th June Bandarqq Schwabach. Köln.

One man and his log
Tickets for games at this World Cup have been seen as prized possessions, something akin to the Golden tickets issued giving admittance to Willie Wonka's chocolate factory. Outside the stadiums people proudly have their photographs taken by friends, stadium in the background clutching their ticket. People will enquire about how you got your ticket and tell you how lucky you are. But for each ticket I have there is usually a tale to tell. For example in the last Bandarqq few days a Japanese friend (thanks Tetsuma!) emailed me to explain that he had received an offer of a conditional ticket for the game in Köln, and asked if I would like to use it.
The conditional tickets were one of many different options FIFA offered, with this scheme the wording on the website led you to believe that if you applied for a ticket for seven games they would give you a ticket for one of them, although there could only be 36 hours between an e-mail being received and the match itself.
There followed the small matter of working my way round the regulations that FIFA have introduced, so thanks to Tetsuma not feeling well (I hope you are better now) and my dad not having used his allocation of seven tickets (Thanks dad!). I was able to take up this offer.
Further luck was to come my way as at the same time as sorting all this out I received an e-mail advising me that I had been awarded a conditional ticket for Hannover, the next day.
Tuesday 27th June Köln. Hannover.
In this latest round of games, those people with tickets in their hands outside were no longer the lucky punters but those who thought they were about to make some ill-gotten gains. Apart from the Mexico, Germany and England games this has not been the case.
Immediately outside the ground I heard a Frenchman trying to sell a ticket proclaiming firstly that the game was sold out (aren't they all!) and that it would be Zidane's last game!(Guess the French didn't fancy their chances beforehand).
People were trying to sell tickets for at least €250 and those in the know could see that the demand for tickets was no longer there and at kick off tickets for the game would be available for less than face value.
The policing of the tournament has been well handled and it looked as though initially touts would have a free reign. But softly, softly policing has seen police step in, checking that the tickets touts were selling were genuine and then when problems arose taking people away for further questioning when it was found that they were selling tickets for more than face value. This has been a commom sense approach, which goes against all that has been said by FIFA.
There have been checks on people's identity at the turnstiles but when people have been identified as having a ticket in another persons name they have simply been asked to complete formalities to change the name on the ticket, and have not been charged for this!
Among the tickets I have obtained on the black market were ones issued by the Paraguayan FA, Mastercard and Security!!! I was aware before I came out of the fact that tickets close to the pitch had not been sold as FIFA were concerned over safety issues, and that they had asked the military if they would provide personnel to occupy those seats. The military agreed but stated that its people would be in uniform. FIFA declined this offer and seem to have given tickets instead to their own security personnel. So there I was on the front row with access to the pitch to avoid the plastic cups being thrown by the Koreans after the second Swiss goal was allowed to stand.
Why should a football fan who has acquired a ticket be denied the right to watch the game that they have chosen to purchase a ticket for? FIFA's talk of punishing those that support the game is a worry that the ticketing issue may go the wrong way. In Greece for the Olympics, people were not allowed to sell tickets for more than face value, this eliminated extortionate prices and generally meant that people offloading tickets sold them at a discount and if there was a buoyant market the touts could sell them at face value.
You could argue that FIFA feel upset that they have missed out on more revenue and maybe their answer to this would be to auction all tickets to the highest bidder! This could result in a crowd being present that is not remotely interested in the spectacle unfolding in front of them, I for one do not think that FIFA would be able to market the World Cup without the passion and colour the spectators that care, add.

Montreal, Canada: Executives from BTeLocations (www.bt.com/btelocations), BT Telecommunications PLC's inward investment unit, are at the 5th Annual Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo (GIGSE) in Montreal this week, showcasing the UK as a location for gaming industry investment and highlighting the support that BTeLocations can provide.

UK GOV REGULATES ONLINE GAMBLING FOR FIRST TIME
On June 20, 2021 by Jerome Diggs
The British government hopes to introduce internet gambling regulations for the first time as part of its broader revamping of gambling law in the country.
The government's new Gambling Bill, to be fast-tracked through Parliament, establishes a new gambling regulator, the Gambling Commission, which is to be given a range of powers to investigate, prosecute, enter premises, seize goods, void bets, levy unlimited fines and remove gambling licenses.
In particular, the bill introduces compulsory age checks for gambling websites based in the UK.
However, online gambling firms have reacted negatively to the proposed law, saying that underage internet gambling is the result of banks issuing too many debit cards to customers under the age of 18.
ONLINE GAMBLING, SEX AND VIAGRA ON OFFER AT MP'S SITE
LIKE most MPs, Angela Eagle is keen to inform her constituents about her good work and uses a frequently updated website to get her message across.
Yesterday, though, the Labour member for Wallasey was surprised when the Daily Post pointed out the page also included a link to buy cheap cigarettes, go online gambling and purchase the sex drug Viagra.
Once notified, Ms Eagle said the link to the site was a "genuine error" and her web team had been spoofed by a fake web address.
The web link tells surfers that it will take them to the UK Youth Parliament site. But it takes them to a "spoof" address which led to other sites offering cigarettes, gambling and Viagra.
Yesterday Ms Eagle, who has held a number of junior ministerial posts and was a member of the Select Committee which investigated accusations of sleaze against MPs, said that as soon as her office was informed the link was changed.
Ms Eagle added: " I was concerned to learn that a link from my website which purports to go to the UK Youth Parliament actually takes readers to a site that appears, amongst other things, to be selling cheap cigarettes. For Thailand Casino – เครดิตฟรี
"The two sites have very similar web addresses and the cigarette site has clearly been set up as a spoof to fool people."
The web link should have sent people to a site called www.ukyouthparliament.org.uk which is aimed at 11-18 year olds and is an independent national charity supported by more than 300 MPs from across the political spectrum. It aims to give the young people an opportunity to be involved in the democratic process at a national level.
But the site which surfers found themselves at was named www.ukyouthparliament.com, and has links to a range of websites offering cut price cigarettes, as well as airline tickets, holidays and links to advice on debt, dating services and music.
Ms Eagle added: "Whilst I write almost all the material for my website myself, I rely on the technical help of a couple of Party volunteers to design and lay out the material, deal with the technical side of uploading data to the site and putting the correct technical materials in place to support links to other sites.
"The work that these volunteers do is excellent and normally to a very high standard. They have assured me that it was a very unfortunate error that led to the wrong website address being used in the link to the UK Youth Parliament. As I have noted, the two addresses are very similar indeed.
"Immediately that I learned of this error, I contacted the volunteers and asked them to change the web address to the correct web address for the Youth Parliament."
Empire Togel Online CEO Noam Lanir sells shares to Party
Noam Lanir, the Israeli online p Togel oker and gambling entrepreneur and marketing expert has sold his remaining shares in Empire Online to Party Gaming for $40 million, according to the Y-news site.
More than eighteen months after the company listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), the indications are that Lanir is heading out of the online gambling business altogether, after revealing that he will use the revenues from the sale of Empire, which total $300 million, to invest in real estate.
The deal with PartyGaming, the world's largest operator of gambling Web sites, is expected to be finalised by the end of the week.
Some (Israeli) experts interpreted the move as a signal that the two remaining Israeli online gambling companies traded on the LSE, 888.com and Playtech, may be making similar moves following the enactment of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.
Empire was worth $928 million when first traded on the LSE, but its shares have fallen drastically in recent months. The company has an estimated value of $244 million today after its shares fell by 80 percent.
Online Gambling Records Increase Traffic
Online gaming and casino sites enjoyed an increase in traffic in recent months despite the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the US in October, according to Alexa.com report.
The increases have occurred over a three month period from September 20 to December 20, 2007.
PokerStars has witnessed a three month rank increase of 2,037. The online poker site assumed much of the online poker player customer base left behind by poker sites that abruptly fled the US market such as PartyPoker and Paradise Poker.
Other sites to have fared well in the period include PinnacleSports, which saw a three month increase of 2,032; Bodog, (2,413); Sportsbook.com, (3,116) and VIP Casino, (1,740).
Meanwhile, online gambling websites that have pulled out of the US market have seen some drops in rankings. Bet365 has experienced a decrease of 1,015, whilst CanBet, which only left the US market last month, moved up slightly by 425. Paradise Poker fell 6,935 ranks.
GoldenPalace Casino, which has not left the US market, has fallen 3,497 rankings.
Reports say that an average real money ring game player counts for PokerStars jumped from just over 6,000 to 8,000 heading into November, whilst Full Tilt Poker has seen an increase from 2,000 to 4,000.

Ora è un singolo del cantante italiano Aiello, pubblicato il 3 marzo 2021.

Scritto dal cantante stesso, il brano è stato presentato al Festival di Sanremo 2021, segnando la prima partecipazione di Aiello alla kermesse musicale. Al termine della quinta serata, si è posizionato al 25º e penultimo posto della classifica generale.

Descrizione
Definita dal cantante come una canzone «viscerale e vera», nata nel periodo del lockdown dovuto alla pandemia di COVID-19 in Italia, Ora è un brano pop che attinge dall'urban e street-art.

Aiello racconta il significato del brano:«La mia canzone si chiama Ora e parla di quando non riusciamo a superare una storia passata che ci ha fatto male. Chi viene dopo si prende la parte peggiore di noi. […] Le sonorità di Ora sono un mix di generi. La contaminazione è quello che più mi diverte nel fare musica.»

Accoglienza
Simone Zani di AllMusic Italia accoglie positivamente il brano, descrivendolo come «un ottimo esempio di cantautorato pop nel quale si possono notare anche suoni più street e urban. La voce è un importante elemento di continuità, dal fascino etereo».

La giornalista Carmen Guadalaxara per Il Tempo apprezza il timbro vocale del cantautore, di cui riconosce la freschezza della scrittura in un brano coinvolgente e contemporaneo». Francesco Prisco per Il Sole 24 Ore riscontra che la canzone apporti «una coltre di apparente novità, nascondendo tanta tradizione».

Video musicale
Il videoclip del brano, diretto da Giulio Rosati, è stato pubblicato contestualmente all'uscita del singolo sul canale YouTube di Aiello.

This paper presents a research study of wireless LAN access points for IEEE 802.11b, where we seek to model the access point as a queuing system. The model can be used to compare performance metrics of different wireless LAN access points and to investigate the QoS of specific applications in the presence of a wireless LAN access point. In this paper, we focus on two parameters: the delay introduced by a wireless LAN access point and the average service time required to serve a packet passing through an access point. A major result is an analytic solution for the average service time of a packet in relationship to payload.
In wireless sensor networks, as energy limited systems, communication is a costly activity. For this reason duty cycling approaches are commonly used, because they can limit the overall power consumption of a sensor node tremendously by shutting down communication sub-circuits whenever they are not used. However, for efficient power reduction nodes have to know the exact times when they are supposed to communicate in the network. Synchronization can be used to accomplish this and comes with additional features such as the possibility of cooperative sampling at a given time. In this paper we propose a synchronization protocol that introduces low overhead due to broadcast master-node synchronization, while still accomplishing synchronization accuracies in the order of 100 μs. The protocol is intended for periodic data collection applications that are common tasks in environmental monitoring systems. Since changes in environmental conditions can have a large effect on the synchronization behavior, we further present a temperature compensation algorithm for the proposed synchronization protocol that allows stable usage of synchronization in a wide range of temperatures. Measurement results are taken from implementing the protocol on sensor node platforms and show the real world performance of the presented methods.
Wireless sensor networks have arrived because of further developments of themodern Internet, and this has been considered to be one of the most importanttechnologies of the 21st century. Currently, the wireless sensor network has becomean important technology in a variety of areas and is widely used in thefield of national defense, national security, environmental monitoring, trafficmanagement, anti-terrorism, anti-disaster, and so on. The majority of these applicationsrequire real-time communication as the WSNs are required to sendthe data to the data center within a specified time. In order to meet the real-timedemand for wireless sensor networks, this work mainly focuses on the analysisand measurement of the end-to-end delay, including both single-hop and multihopdelays. This thesis first analyzes the composition of the end-to-end delayand then describes the end-to-end delay measurement algorithms and methods.The measurement is implemented in TelosB motes within TinyOS. Finally thereport will show the evaluation of the end-to-end delay in wireless sensor networks.
Portals exist for a large number of topics and they have become quite common on the Internet. So far, researchers have not extensively studied the evolution of portals and only a few portal business models have been reported in the literature. We wonder if Internet portals are following the same evolution path, and what kinds of similarities or differences can be observed. The theoretical references, we drew on for the design of a field study, were derived from a limited number of theories considering portals, online communities, and network economics. We chose to research six portals, comprising Danish, Finnish and Swedish portals, of which three represent healthcare and three mobile services. We learned that the portals are quite similar in their scope of operation. Furthermore, we noticed that there is a difference between portals hosted by large organizations and portals that existing independently. All six portals are national in their geographical sphere of attention. This stresses that the local language capabilities are important when launching a portal. Finally, existing theories seem to provide an adequate theoretical vehicle for explaining the evolution of these portals. The practical contribution of this paper lays in the set of guidelines that can be applied by portal managers to identify their focus areas. It also provides some guidance about in which direction Internet portals currently develop.
In this paper we analyze barriers for women to enter and take on professional roles in the IT business. It is argued that earlier research concerning these barriers only has scratched on the surface and to be able to take appropriate meassures a deeper understanding of the foundation the barriers rests upon is needed. In this paper concepts from gender research, the so called four relation types: power, production, emotion, and symbols; are introduced and used in analyzing the barriers identified in earlier research as well as in case studies of IT professionals and youths at a IT high school. This analyzes shows that gender regimes in our society, when it comes to the IT business are, more or less, hostile to women. It also shows that using these four concepts adds a new dimension to the discussion concerning the under-representation of women in IT business. By focusing on relations, measures can be designed to target specific problematic relations instead of targeting a problem that is a complex of two or more relations.

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a group of wireless networking devices within a limited geographic area, such as an office building, that exchange data through radio communications. The security of each WLAN is heavily dependent on how well each WLAN component—including client devices, access points (AP), and wireless switches—is secured throughout the WLAN lifecycle, from initial WLAN design and deployment through ongoing maintenance and monitoring. The purpose of this publication is to help organizations improve their WLAN security by providing recommendations for WLAN security configuration and monitoring. This publication supplements other NIST publications by consolidating and strengthening their key recommendations.

Authors of New Book Ask: "Is Medical Malpractice Reform Possible?"
After heart disease and cancer, the third leading cause of death in the United States is avoidable injury or infection caused by medical treatment. This startling fact was the impetus for Visiting Professor Stephan Landsman and co-author Michael J. Saks to write Closing Death's Door: Legal Innovations to End the Epidemic of Healthcare Harm (Oxford University Press, 2021).
At the May 18 virtual book launch and panel discussion hosted by the Law School, the authors described the unsuccessful efforts by the healthcare industry and the law to effectively address death by medical error. They posit that the primary deterrent to such errors, malpractice litigation, is inadequate, with fewer than 3 percent of negligently injured patients or their families receiving any compensation from a doctor or hospital's insurer.
"Medical error is an equal opportunity killer," said Landsman. "It kills the rich and the poor, the famous and the unknown, the sophisticated and the uninformed. Much of the problem, like most of an iceberg, is hidden beneath the surface, covered up and never identified, discussed, or admitted."
Landsman, who has a long relationship with Brooklyn Law School, is an emeritus professor at DePaul College of Law, where he is the organizer and director of the Clifford Symposium on Tort Law and Social Policy. Saks is a Regents' Professor at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law and department of psychology at Arizona State University.
"We need to shift the conversation from helping doctors and hospitals avoid deposition by a lawyer and quibbling about ways to tweak malpractice litigation," said Saks. "Let's instead start thinking afresh about what, if anything, the law can do to promote safety in healthcare."
The authors were joined on the panel by David Hyman, the Scott K. Ginsburg Professor of Health Law & Policy at Georgetown Law Center. The event was moderated by Karen Porter, the Arthur Pinto & Stephen Bohlen Associate Dean for Inclusion and Diversity and associate professor of clinical law and the executive director of the Center for Health, Science, and Public Policy.
"The book is arresting," said Porter, "not because medical malpractice and error is something new, but the volume of information that's presented is new and exposes how significant a problem this is in the U.S. medical community."
Landsman recognized the support of Law School faculty and staff and the work of students who served as research assistants. "Much of the work in the book reflects their diligent efforts in the library and is a tribute to how terrific they are," said Landsman.
