BADMINTON WORLD FEDERATION www.bwfbadminton.org PAGE 2 EDITORIAL Dear Colleagues and Friends As we move into the second quarter of 2015, the badminton season is well underway and we have already seen our top athletes in action in the MetLife BWF World Superseries at events like the Yonex All England Championships; the Yonex-Sunrise India Open and the Maybank Malaysia Open. The Indian tournament will be long remembered by home fans who saw two of their own win the singles titles. All this signals that we are once again en route to the BWF World Superseries Finals in Dubai, with lots of action and suspense awaiting us in the months ahead. We again look forward to partnering with Falcon and Associates as well as Dubai Sports Council for another riveting conclusion to our World Superseries tour as elite competitors from across the badminton spectrum vie to qualify for the season-ender. This showdown features the top eight players/pairs in the five traditional categories clashing for a share of badminton’s richest jackpot – US$1 million. Before we reach that far however there will be the spectacle of two BWF Major Events Poul-Erik Høyer – the Vivo BWF Sudirman Cup in May and the TOTAL BWF World Championships in BWF President August – which will certainly captivate the global badminton fan base and again provide platforms for us to enjoy the best in team and individual battles. Starting in May, the “Race to Rio” Olympic Qualification is another sub-plot which will play out across the world over the next year as players try to book their place in the Rio 2016 Summer Games. All these events – let’s not forget the BWF Grand Prix Gold circuit – make for a fascinating landscape of world-class badminton which now enjoys a broadcast audience (television/ online) of more than 500 million. To accommodate fans’ desire for more live coverage, BWF is introducing a new online platform (www.livestream.com/bwfbadminton) which will show live matches on Court 2 of all MetLife BWF World Superseries and BWF Grand Prix Gold tournaments. Our para-badminton calendar is also quite busy with a mixture of international tournaments across Asian and European countries. Additionally, the BWF Para-Badminton World Championships 2015 in England this September will again bring together top performers to battle for the title of World Champion. Action began with the V Spanish Para-Badminton International in March and next turns to the China Para-Badminton International in Beijing from 13-17 May. Dublin hosts the Irish Para-Badminton International from 24-28 June while the 2nd Indonesia Para-Badminton International takes place in Solo from 5-9 August. An international tournament is also being planned in the Pan American region and details will be forthcoming. At the same time, we in BWF are pushing ahead with our development agenda. It is our goal to have implemented the schools’ grassroots programme Shuttle Time in 90 member associations by our upcoming Annual General Meeting in Dongguan, China. That would mean roughly half our 182 members have embraced the initiative whose focus is to train teachers and coaches to deliver safe and fun badminton lessons to children. On a related note, I am pleased to welcome the French islands of Martinique (in the Caribbean) and Réunion (in the Indian Ocean) as our newest members, increasing the BWF family to 182 member associations. We look forward to working with them to develop badminton in their countries. Badminton is a busy business these days and it must be pleasing to stalwarts of the sport – such as those honoured on our 2014 list of awardees highlighted in this edition – to witness its global growth. I wish to acknowledge their respective contributions whether at national, regional or international level and we at BWF thank them for their selfless work in developing badminton over the decades. It has been my privilege to have presented some of them with their awards already and I look forward to more of these moments in the months to come.

  • 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.

    Open Defecation and the Human Waste Crisis in India By Parveen Mozaffar Submitted to the graduate degree program in Global and International Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Professor John James Kennedy ________________________________ Co-Chairperson Professor Darlene Budd ________________________________ Professor Eric Hanley Date Defended: April 14th, 2014 ii The Thesis Committee for Parveen Mozaffar certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Open Defecation and the Human Waste Crisis in India ________________________________ Chairperson Professor John James Kennedy Date approved: April 14th, 2014 iii Abstract This thesis analyzes the human waste crisis in India. The lack of sanitation facilities as well as open defecation seriously impacts India’s ability to achieve its sanitation goals by 2015. More importantly if the World Health Organization is to meet its Millennium Development Target of improved sanitation for all by 2015, it is critical that India must meet its goals. Although certainly not by 2015, this paper will seek to explain the likelihood and the means by which India can attain this goal by 2022. iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank my family for their patience and understanding, my advisor Dr. Darlene Budd for her guidance and my supervisor Herbert Tuttle for his support. v Table of Contents Abstract ..........................................................................................................................................
