It’s a tough list to compile, and it doesn’t seem to get João Costeira Varela any easier as time goes on. When I think about why this is, I realize it’s because gaming in Asia is manifesting itself in so Editor many new and different ways as nations and communities James Rutherford take it along paths of development that are as numerous and unique as they are. There really is no such thing as “Asian” Operations Manager gaming, is there. Rather it is many things. There are many Asias. Licca Sou When we talk about it, what we’re talking about most of the time is Macau. Understandably. It’s the biggest casino market in the world, it owns the headlines, as we’re reminded every Contributors month when the revenue numbers come out—mind-boggling numbers, usually, and that Todd Haushalter, always gets people’s attention, or they’re less mind-boggling than usual, and that’s been the Alexander Lobov, focus of some media attention as well the last few months amid signs that the searing growth Richard Meyer, I. Nelson Rose, of recent years may be slowing. Or something happens that brings back unpleasant memories William Stolerman of the city’s less than savory past or fuels speculation about something in the present that maybe isn’t all that savory either. Graphic Designer But what we think we know about this megalith of cash built on high-end baccarat, that’s Brenda Chao changing, too, as Macau continues to broaden and deepens its appeal as a destination. What it offers the serious gambler, the casual gambler and the non-gambler is way more varied than it was five years ago (as anyone knows who has paid a recent visit to the integrated resorts on Cotai), and Photography this, of course, is what everyone says they want—a world-class center of leisure and entertainment Ike, Alice Kok, James Leong, offering the best in gambling action, and a lot more besides.

We’re pleased to introduce a dozen new names to this, our fifth, annual ranking of the most important and influential people in the most dynamic of the world’s gaming markets. Their addition both reflects and illuminates, we hope, several of the defining trends of the last year. Each played a key role in propelling forward an industry that is growing not only in size but is becoming increasingly more sophisticated and diverse—and increasingly more competitive as new jurisdictions emerge, established markets mature and older ones strive to reinvent themselves and reassert their appeal. The year saw the Singapore duopoly challenged for growth for the first time in its young history, while across the border in Malaysia an older rival got busy with upping its game. New brands and new operators guided Cambodia closer to the mainstream. The Philippines made headlines, and for the right reasons for a change, as the locus of a massive new integrated resort strategy and billions of dollars in fresh investment. Vietnam’s first IR moved closer to its much-anticipated debut. The Taiwanese took their first steps, albeit tentatively, toward embracing the economic potential of resort-scale casinos. The battle for China’s VIPs spread all the way to Australia, where scandal and skullduggery made for some engaging theater and re-energized operators have started angling for a slice of the big Macau pie. New technologies and new platforms worked their magic on the look of the region’s casino floors, particularly in Macau, which continued to lead a still-fledgling Chinese mass market on the path toward maturity with ever more expansive and imaginative offerings in slots and multi-game tables. Notable, too, was the emergence of a splashy new poker sector, thanks to the creative backing of some of the big junket operators. With the addition of so many new personalities, we’ve reluctantly had to bid farewell to others who have graced these pages in previous years. The most notable, of course, is Dr Stanley Ho, who has passed his incomparable legacy on to a new generation and has himself passed into the realm of legend. The leadership he exhibited for so many years, the quiet dignity, the sheer mastery of his touch, these will be missed. About the Title Sponsor Shuffle Master Asia is part of the global Shuffle Master family.

Previous winners of the award include Ho Tram Cham- pionship in Vietnam and the Thailand Golf Championship in Thailand. Golfers such as Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott, Angel Cabrera and Sergio Garcia have graced the Sin- gapore Open which has made Sentosa Golf Club’s world- acclaimed Serapong course its home since 2005.

    PRESS RELEASE STAR-STUDDED LINE-UP SET FOR VENETIAN MACAO OPEN Macao, October 9: The Venetian Macao Open is poised to welcome a stellar line-up of stars from the Asian Tour, with seven Order of Merit champions and no fewer than 45 Tour champions primed to challenge defending champion Anirban Lahiri for his title next week. In addition to the presence of four-time Major winner Ernie Els, seven players from the current top-10 of the Merit list and seven other former champions of the Venetian Macao Open, including two-time winner Zhang Lian-wei of China, will tee up at the challenging Macau Golf and Country Club from October 15-18. Reigning Asian Tour number one David Lipsky will also return to Asian soil for the first time since April and will be banking on a recent tied third finish in Italy to spur him towards a third Asian Tour title. Lahiri, currently top of the Merit list, is expected to fight hard to retain his crown especially when he will arrive in Macao on the back of a maiden appearance at the on-going Presidents Cup in Korea where he is the first Indian to feature in the biennial team competition. “The Venetian Macao Open is certainly one of the best tournaments we play all year. It’s very intimate and it’s just great fun to be right in the heart of Macao,” said the 28-year-old Lahiri, who is ranked 39th in the world.

  • History of Badminton
    Facts and Records History of Badminton In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party at his country house in the village of Badminton, Gloucestershire. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among British society’s elite. The new party sport became known as “the Badminton game”. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules. The Badminton Association was formed at a meeting in Southsea on 13th September 1893. It was the first National Association in the world and framed the rules for the Association and for the game. The popularity of the sport increased rapidly with 300 clubs being introduced by the 1920’s. Rising to 9,000 shortly after World War Π. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with nine founding members: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France and as a consequence the Badminton Association became the Badminton Association of England. From nine founding members, the IBF, now called the Badminton World Federation (BWF), has over 160 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright. Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Indonesia was the dominant force in that first Olympic tournament, winning two golds, a silver and a bronze; the country’s first Olympic medals in its history. More than 1.1 billion people watched the 1992 Olympic Badminton competition on television. Eight years later, and more than a century after introducing Badminton to the world, Britain claimed their first medal in the Olympics when Simon Archer and Jo Goode achieved Mixed Doubles Bronze in Sydney.

The convent, established in 1854 in central Singapore, is now the ‗premier lifestyle destination‘, CHIJMES. I show that the Sisters were early providers of social services and girls‘ education, with an orphanage, women‘s refuge and schools for girls. They survived the turbulent years of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore and adapted to the priorities of the new government after independence, expanding to become the largest cloistered convent in Southeast Asia.
