The 4th South Island Badminton Tournament in Timaru this weekend is expected to be an energetic and competitive one, with some of the best players competing. One of the tournament's organisers, Jino Thomas, from the Aorangi Badminton Social Club, said 24 teams have signed up ahead of the big day on Saturday at the Southern Trust Events Centre. "We have four teams from Invercargill coming in and others from around the South Island," Thomas said. "The previous three instalments have been successful and all the players were really happy with the tournament. "This year, we also have spot voucher prizes for spectators if they give the answers to questions regarding badminton." Thomas said the games on Saturday are expected to be "very energetic" and some teams coming from Invercargill were quite competitive. There are nine teams from Timaru and Thomas said, for the players, being from different towns across the South Island added a degree of competitiveness to the games. "The local community support for the tournament has been growing since we started the tournament. We have also had good sponsors over the years. "The tournament will also support and help the businesses in Timaru." Thomas encourages the South Canterbury community to come and watch the tournament and if they feel they are up for it, even sign up to compete. The South Island Badminton Tournament is a doubles only tournament for men and women. The men's category is divided into four groups - elite, gold, silver and bronze and the women's will be divided into two groups. Spot registrations start at 9.30am and the cost per team to register is $50.

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report.

It will be like a tree trying to stop its leaves; the tree will go mad. The leaves are very natural to it. You are a mind person. If you try to become a heart person you will create so much trouble for yourself, and unnecessarily, because there is a way which goes from the mind itself.
