10 arrested in Malaysian online betting ring

10 arrested in Malaysian online betting ring

By Anonymous

April 26, 2004--Betting on football is big business in Malaysia, but unfortunately, it’s illegal. This makes the Internet a friend of the illicit bookie in Malaysia, where 10 people were arrested this week for illegal gambling. Mustafa Abdullah, the Kuala Lumpur police chief, said it was the third gambling ring arrested broken up since March. The bookies were taking bets valued up to 10 m ringitt ($2.63m).



'Initial investigations revealed that this syndicate has its headquarters in Hong Kong. We do not rule out that it may have links to the other two groups that were busted on April 12 and March 2,' Abdullah said, according to official Bernama news agency.



10 people aged 21 to 29 were arrested, along with a PC displaying a fixture list from an international football tournament. 22 PC monitors, a fax, three TVs and four cellular phones were taken in the raid.



'The syndicate operated its multi-million ringgit business using a website where members could log on and place their bets. Payment was made using credit cards,' Mustafa had said.

NonBooksPress: Une vie qui vaut la peine

NonBooksPress: Une vie qui vaut la peine tre v้cue: T้moignage une m่re de deux enfants handicap้s by Rosy Muller

By Anonymous

Book Synopsis:

Her destiny - 2 handicapped children. At the time when she had to admit her children's handicap, her first reaction was not to flee but to be strong enough to accept her destiny and to consider her life with two handicapped children as a challenge. A solution to solve this problem had to be found - and while listening to her inner voice - she found the solution: "These are my children, I love them deeply and my greatest wish is that their life will be worthwhile to be lived !" The author rapidly engaged herself in an association in favour of parents having children with an infirmity due to cerebral motor disorder, where she works since 20 years as a secretary and group animator. The secret of her "very rich and fulfilled life" is the positive approach to her destiny, and it is precisely this positive attitude that she would like to transmit by writing her autobiographical book, especially to all those parents who desperate and resign when living the same destiny."



Benefit Statement:

La vie de femme et de m่re de deux enfants handicap้s n’a ้videmment pas ้t้ facile pour Rosy Muller; pourtant 30 ans apr่s, elle est s๛re que ses enfants lui ont donn้ un sens เ sa vie et enrichi sa vie et elle les remercie ! ป D่s la naissance de ses enfants, elle a su qu’elle ferait tout afin qu’ils aient une vie digne d’๊tre v้cue, malgr้ et surtout avec leur handicap. ซJe voulais qu’ils sachent ce qu’est l’Amour, qu’ils soient aim้s – non de moi seulement – et qu’ils sachent aimer eux-m๊mes.ป Ses enfants lui ont montr้ le chemin qui l’a amen้e เ exercer un m้tier qu’elle aime par-dessus tout : aider d’autres personnes qui n’ont pas la force de mener une vie normale avec la pr้sence d’un enfant handicap้. En fin de compte, elle peut dire: ซJ’aime ma vie et mon m้tier. Avec le recul, je m’้tonne encore que je puisse aimer เ ce point deux ๊tres qui sollicitent pareillement ma r้sistance nerveuse.ป Comment cette m่re peut-elle aborder la probl้matique du handicap de cette fa็on? En g้n้ral nous ne voyons pas que la nature sensible d’un ๊tre handicap้ est beaucoup plus profonde que son handicap. L’โme est d’essence divine et c’est une aventure que de d้couvrir comment elle s’exprime en d้pit de moyens limit้s. Les ้lans du cœur sont plus spontan้s et les r้actions ้motives plus fr้quentes chez les personnes handicap้es que chez le commun des individus.

CLONAID ANNOUNCEMENT SPURS ONLINE BETTING

CLONAID ANNOUNCEMENT SPURS ONLINE BETTING

By Anonymous

San Jose, Costa Rica, December 28, 2002—The riveting announcement yesterday made at a televised press conference that Clonaid has successfully cloned a human being has prompted Internet bookmaker betmaker.com to offer odds on whether or not the announcement will be deemed a hoax.



At betmaker.com’s Web site (http://www.betmaker.com), interested bettors can bet on whether or not “an independent scientist will confirm that Clonaid has successfully cloned a baby before January 8, 2003.”



The “No” is currently the favorite and is priced at -160 (a $16 bet would return $10 in winnings). The “Yes” is the underdog and is priced at +130 (a $10 bet would return $13 in winnings).



According to betmaker.com spokesperson, Mike Foreman, there have been very few bets on the “yes”, but many have been made on the “no”.



“It seems like no one seems to believe the announcement made by Clonaid,” he said. “The media coverage has seemed to be heavily leaning towards some sort of publicity stunt. Our customers are definitely showing us that they agree with the media.”



He continued, “This is one of our busiest periods of the year with all of the College Bowl games taking place and the NFL Playoffs just about to start. It’s amazing though… it seems like we’re getting more calls about the cloning than about the bowl games.”



According to Foreman, betmaker offers specialty bets on current events, entertainment and politics regularly. “It’s part of our product… we are in business to give customers a safe and secure place to bet recreationally. This just makes it more fun for them… and us,” he added.



About betmaker.com

betmaker.com is an Internet sportsbook and casino based in San Jose, Costa Rica and has been in operation since 1996. betmaker.com offers bets on all major U.S. and European sporting events, more than 40 racetracks and a wide variety of Vegas-style casino games.

Announcing a new handicap

Announcing a new handicap scooter design that will revolutionize the present handicap scooter industry.

By Anonymous

March 13, 2004--This new scooter was designed by Walter Elfelt, a survivor of 2 hemorragic strokes, leaving him paralyzed on the right side with loss of speech. With no insurance at the time he had no way of being mobile, so he designed and made one for himself,working with only his left arm and the help of his friend Ed Samuels.



Many people are in the same circumstance.



Mr. Elfelts' goal is to enable people to lead a more productive life. Another goal is to be able to eventually produce when monies are procured to sell these scooters and to donate them to people who still cannot afford them. No one can imagine how it feels to be immobile permanently.
