KHARTOUM Tarvarius Moore Womens Jersey , Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- Wooden boats in Sudan are still favored today as a means to cross the Nile River, particularly during seasonal flooding of the Nile, when levels of the river rise as a natural cycle since ancient times.


The islanders and fishermen heavily depend on these traditional boats to transport their goods and personal belongings across the river, as the region is entering a season of Nile flooding.


Wooden boats building is still enduring in Sudan, namely on the shores of the Nile at Abu Raouf area of Omdurman city.


The wooden boats, locally known as ""Marakib C. J. Beathard Womens Jersey ,"" has a long history in Sudan, where they used to be the only means to cross the Nile, and transport passengers and commodities, not to mention their use in fishing.


""I have been building wooden boats since 1955. These boats constitute a heritage for Sudan and their industry is still popular despite emergence of modern steel boats,"" said Al-Haj Hussein Nasr Mohamed, a Sudanese builder of wooden boats Reuben Foster Womens Jersey , who believes the wooden boats ""will never end"" in Sudan despite the spreading of modern transportation.


""Steel boats cannot compete with wooden boats because the latter is cheaper. Additionally, wooden boats can endure the factors of nature and do not rust because they are made of wood,"" he noted.


The wooden boats are flexible with the ability to withstand the wind and fluctuation of the weather, pointing out that the price of a wooden boat is less than 2,000 Sudanese pounds (around 100 U.S. dollars).


He added that ""Islanders and fishermen are greatly connected to wooden boats because they have remained their means to transport their commodities during this time each year.""


The wooden boats are built of al-Sunnut, or acacia wood Jaquiski Tartt Womens Jersey , which is brought from areas of the White Nile in South Sudan, Al-Haj Mohamed said, adding that the building of a boat could take a month.


""It is not an easy task, where we begin with preparing the wood into forms of plates, then we make the general structure of the boat which is composed of the floor, the front Arik Armstead Womens Jersey , locally known as al-Muqadima, and the rear, locally known as al-Daraga (the shield) and finally the wooden plates are plastered to complete the body of the boat,"" he said.


He explained that boats are built as required in terms of length, width, height DeForest Buckner Womens Jersey , size and purpose, noting that the builder must have an accumulative experience to complete the work with accuracy.


""Fishing boats are usually five to six meters in length, passenger boats 10 to 12 meters and commodity boats 15 to 20 meters,"" he said.


""We build wooden boats for all areas of Sudan. We have boats that sail to the far north of Sudan and the White Nile areas in central Sudan. We even have boats that are now present in South Sudan,"" he said.

Quarterback Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears is hurt now and in all probability will be offering this time a miss. Cutler broke the thumb of his correct hand and will have to endure surgery before he recovers completely. The team nonetheless hopes that Cutler really should recover early and be part of them back previous to the period ends in January versus Minnesota. But that is not heading to matter a lot if they drop 3 to six extra games or so, for instance. 1 of his followers, who also takes place to be a divorce lawyer, felt unfortunate that he would not be viewing Cutler in action for the rest of the season. Definitely due to the fact the Bear鈥檚 again up QB is not intended to that high of caliber.


Work Hazard


A player getting injured while performing is not a new matter and lots of prominent gamers have hurt their selves this season. Lovie Smith said that Cutler injured the thumb on his ideal hand while he was tackling Antoine Cason of the San Diego Chargers. It need to have been when there was a fumble or whenif he threw an interception. Inspite of the injury, Cutler stayed on the subject until the end of the video game. The group, fans Solomon Thomas Womens Jersey , primarily the 1 who is a divorce attorney, are all praise for Cutler. Properly, there is a good chance they not have very lots of a lot more praises for the relaxation of the year.


Bear鈥檚 Playoff Hopes Diminish

One of Cutler鈥檚 teammates, Brian Urlacher Fred Warner Womens Jersey , reported that it would be extremely challenging for them to carry on devoid of Cutler who had been enjoying so phenomenally this time. Just about every divorce attorney, business office worker, transmission mechanic, airplane maintenance worker, is hoping that Urlacher and the Bear鈥檚 protection can decide on up the slack.
