JOHANNESBURG Lee Nguyen World Cup Jersey , June 10 (Xinhua) -- South Africa's seasonally adjusted manufacturing production decreased by 1.8 percent in the three months ended April 2014 compared with the previous three months, according to data released on Tuesday.


Six of the 10 manufacturing divisions reported negative growth rates over this period, Statistics South Africa said.


The largest negative contributions to the decrease of 1.8 percent were made by petroleum, chemical products, rubber, plastic products Landon Donovan World Cup Jersey , motor vehicles, parts, accessories and other transport equipment.


The data would further dampen investors' confidence at a time when the country's gross domestic product (GDP) was contracted by 0.6 percent in the first quarter of this year, the first decline since the 2009 recession.


Further more, a crippling strike at the platinum sector has entered its 5th month with no sign of an end, raising concern that South Africa is moving towards recession.

Are you so in love with the slopes that winter flies by much too fast leaving you with ski withdrawal symptoms long before you are ready to give it up? If you just can't get enough of winter skiing Kyle Beckerman World Cup Jersey , you just might be interested in a relatively new phenomenon slowly sweeping the world - sand skiing.

What is sand skiing? It is simply the brand new extreme sport. From Palm Springs, California to Dubai, from Abu Dhab to Idaho, it's the latest extreme craze.

There are two types of sand skiing. Downhill and cross-country both of which more or less mirror their snow ski counterparts.

Downhill sand skiing involves finding a dune, hill, or mountain Kellyn Acosta World Cup Jersey , climbing to the top of it and skiing down it. Is it fun? Lots - except for the part where you have to climb up the hill. You'll find no ski lifts, no trams, not even a rope tow. If you want to get up the hill, you have to climb it on your own. Nevertheless, the lack of these niceties doesn't seem to have prevented newcomers from being drawn to the sport.

Cross country sand skiing involves skiing finding a nice long scenic stretch of sand covered land, strapping on the ski boots and skis and having at it. Nothing strengthens the muscles and increases stamina like cross country sand skiing.

Whether you do downhill or cross country sand skiing Justin Morrow World Cup Jersey , this is fantastic exercise. If you're not in shape, this sport will definitely get you in shape. If you're already in shape, sand skiing will keep you fit.

The Essentials of Sand Skiing

So what equipment does a sand skier need? Pretty much the same as a snow skier. You'll of course need skis, preferable older ones as sand, even fine sand, is an abrasive and over time can remove material from the ski's running surface.

Sand blindness Julian Green World Cup Jersey , like snow blindness, can cause a temporary vision loss. To prevent it, you'll need a good pair of UV resistant sunglasses or goggles. You'll also need ski poles to push past some of the denser spots of sand.

Sand skiing is usually done in warmer environments - so dress accordingly. Wear light clothing and if the sun is intense, wear a hat to protect your head.

Finding the Perfect Sand

Snow skiers are very familiar with the different types of snow, for example skiing on powder is a much different experience than skiing on packed snow. It may surprise you that sand skiers have similar experiences. Coarse sand gives a much different experience than fine sand. Wet sand is much harder to traverse than dry sand.

As you get more into the culture of sand skiing, you're hear the terms "fast sand" and "slow sand". Fast sand is great Juan Agudelo World Cup Jersey , you'll feel as though you're gliding on glass. It's almost effortless. Slow sand can be a grind, like slogging through quicksand. And there are all sorts of gradients in between. Skiers looking for perfect sand is much like the prototypical surfer looking for the "perfect wave".

So skiers rejoice. No longer are you confined to the winter season. With sand skiing, you can not only enjoy your sport year round, you can enjoy it in almost any place in the world.



ADDIS ABABA, March 11 (Xinhua) -- The International Road Federation (IRF) has called for concerted efforts to reduce road traffic fatalities in Africa, which remain high on the continent Jozy Altidore World Cup Jersey , and also to achieve the UN goal of reducing road traffic fatalities by 50 percent by 2020.


As the present situation on road safety is challenging in Africa, Kiran Kapila, IRF Chair, has underlined the need to work with concerted efforts and in partnership to improve the scenario. The Chairman was speaking on Wednesday at the opening of an International Conference organized to deliberate on road safety challenge for Africa, here in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa.


Kapila told reporters, particularly that road safety is challenging in Africa due to poor road infrastructure system Jorge Villafana World Cup Jersey , poor vehicle condition, and driving after taking drug or alcohol among others. The UN Decade of Action Plan was proclaimed in March 2010 towards achieving a goal of reducing global road fatalities by 50 per cent by 2020.


Nearly 1.3 million people die due to road traffic accidents, more than 3,000 deaths each day, and more than half of these people are not travelling in a car, according to IRF. About 91 percent of road traffic deaths occur in low and middle- income countries Jordan Morris World Cup Jersey , which claim less than half the world's registered vehicle fleet.


"Challenges in Africa, one of them is the road system that needs a lot of improvement; we have the challenge of people driving after drinking, we haven't been able to resolve it although efforts have been made to make people realize that this should be done; we have challenges of old vehicles, which are not in good shape on the roads; we have road system which needs improvement; we have difficulties of addressing the trauma of victims after the accident," .
