BEIJING Air Jordan 32 Australia , Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- The private Caixin purchasing managers' index (PMI) and the official figure told a different story on China's manufacturing sector in July.


Sample difference and uneven regional performances may explain a divergence between private and official manufacturing data for China in July, a report said Wednesday.


The official data provided Monday by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said that the purchasing PMI came in at 49.9 last month, slightly lower than June's 50.


The Caixin General China Manufacturing PMI, based on a private survey, however, added two points to stand at 50.6, the first increase since February.


A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while a reading below 50 reflects contraction, so the two versions disagree on whether the manufacturing sector had returned to expansion, as the Caixin data showed, or was still contracting.


"The official PMI covers a sample of 3,000 manufacturing enterprises, while Caixin covers only 500," said a report by the China International Capital Corporation Limited (CICC).


The CICC played down the influence of sample size while highlighting regional differences as a cause of the divergence.


"The Caixin sample may be skewed toward eastern coastal areas," said the CICC report, adding that "the official PMI covers a larger sample and is more representative."


PMI is based on indicators including production, new orders, employment and raw materials inventories.


In July, the Caixin PMI production and new orders indices rose 4 and 2.2, respectively, pushing the PMI up, while those of the official PMI fell 0.4 and 0.1, causing the divergence, the CICC report said.


Historically, the Caixin PMI has been more volatile, according to the CICC report. Since 2011, the Caixin PMI and official PMI had standard deviations of 1.4 and 0.95, respectively.


BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- Spain's Rafael Nadal, ranked first in the ATP, showed why he held the top spot Sunday, beating second-seeded Novac Djokovic at an exhibition match in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires.


Nadal defeated his Serbian rival in two sets, 6-4 and 7-5, as part of a relaxed joke-and humor-filled match watched by more than 12,000 spectators.


The two tennis stars were in the South American country to support Argentina's David Nalbandian, who will retire from pro tennis.


Nalbandian, once ranked No. 3 and winner of the 2005 Shanghai Masters Cup, defeated Nadal in the first of the two matches Thursday, winning 6-4 and 7-6 (6). Nadal won the second match Saturday, 6-3 and 6-4.


During a doubles match, as part of the exhibition series, Djokovic entertained fans by doing his impersonation of Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova and later dressing up as a nurse to attend to Nalbandian.


Nadal and Djokovic also played a game against the imposing backdrop of southern Argentina's Perito Moreno glacier.


During Sunday's event, U.S. actor Will Smith, who is in Argentina to film his latest movie, "Focus," got on the court to horse around with the Serbian player.


Smith, Nadal and Djokovic were expected to show up later in the day at the capital's storied La Bombonera Stadium in support of another sport, as football teams Boca Juniors and All Boys were scheduled to play each other on Day 17 of the country's Opening Tournament.

Regarded as one of the most popular and controversial health supplements in the world, the Acai Berry is a small purplish berry that grows primarily in flood plains and swamps of Central and South America. Praised for being rich in fibre, antioxidants and fatty acids, fat loss gurus have long hailed the berry as an important tool in the battle of the bulge.


Medical research has also indicated that the Acai Berry acts as an appetite suppressant, in addition to boosting the immune system and preventing free radicals from destroying your own cells and helping your skin to look more radiant.


Attempting to profit from the latest craze, a number of scammers have set up websites that offer free Acai Berry trials that fail to materialize, hard-to-cancel recurring orders on the credit card and other methods of trickery to make money from unsuspecting customers.


Robert Pearce, an online security professional said, “1st of all, understand that the Acai Berry itself is not the problem, and there are many small steps you can have to avoid becoming the victim of an online Acai Berry scam.”


Here are a few pointers of things you should look out for.


. Make sure the website has a telephone number! – give them a call, a good honest company will not mind you checking that they are a legitimate business before placing an order with them.


. Is there an address on the website? – make sure the business address is on the site, and that it is the geographical address not a PO-Box address.


. Use an independent review website – independent review sites use genuine reviews from true people. This will ensure that you know you are purchasing from a secure website.


. Google the business name or name of the site – if the site has a bad reputation, chances are that people have talked about them on forums.


. A large, reputable company might make a billing mistake, or there could be a misunderstanding, but it is usually rapidly solved. Small hoax companies will operate above the law, and it is difficult for the government to keep up with them, which means that customer satisfaction is not high on their agenda.


. Make sure that you read all of the fine print on the site. If the website mentions anything around recurring billing, it is a scam and if it mentions anything about the free trial, where you are required to cancel by the certain time in your billing cycle, it is a scam.
