South is a noun, adjective, or adverb indicating direction or geography. It is one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. South is the polar opposite of north and is perpendicular to east and west.
The word south comes from Old English sūþ, from earlier Proto-Germanic *sunþaz ("south"), possibly related to the same Proto-Indo-European root that the word sun derived from.
By convention, the bottom side of a map is south, although reversed maps exist that defy this convention. To go south using a compass for navigation, set a bearing or azimuth of 180°. Alternatively, in the Northern Hemisphere outside the tropics, the Sun will be roughly in the south at midday.
True south is the direction towards the southern end of the axis about which the earth rotates, called the South Pole. The South Pole is located in Antarctica. Magnetic south is the direction towards the south magnetic pole, some distance away from the south geographic pole.
Roald Amundsen, from Norway, was the first to reach the South Pole, on 14 December 1911, after Ernest Shackleton from the UK was forced to turn back some distance short.
South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa. It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho. South Africa is the 25th-largest country in the world by land area, and with close to 53 million people, is the world's 24th-most populous nation. It is the southernmost country on the mainland of the Old World or the Eastern Hemisphere.
South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions. Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world. Two of these languages are of European origin: Afrikaans developed from Dutch and serves as the first language of most white and coloured South Africans; English reflects the legacy of British colonialism, and is commonly used in public and commercial life, though it is fourth-ranked as a spoken first language.
Sri Lanka (/sriːˈlɑːŋkə, -ˈlæŋkə/ or i/ʃriː-/;Sinhalese - ශ්රී ලංකාව, Tamil Ilaṅkai), officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka and known from the beginning of British colonial rule until 1972 as Ceylon (/sᵻˈlɒnˌ seɪ-ˌ siː-/), is an island country in South Asia near south-east India.
Sri Lanka has maritime borders with India to the northwest and the Maldives to the southwest. Its documented history spans 3,000 years, with evidence of pre-historic human settlements dating back to at least 125,000 years. Its geographic location and deep harbours made it of great strategic importance from the time of the ancient Silk Road through to World War II.
A diverse and multicultural country, Sri Lanka is home to many religions, ethnic groups, and languages. In addition to the majority Sinhalese, it is home to large groups of Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils, Moors, Burghers, Malays, Kaffirs and the aboriginal Vedda. Sri Lanka has a rich Buddhist heritage, and the first known Buddhist writings of Sri Lanka, the Pāli Canon, dates back to the Fourth Buddhist council in 29 BC. The country's recent history has been marred by a thirty-year civil war which decisively ended when Sri Lankan military defeated Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in 2009.

Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent. At about 30.2 million km2 (11.7 million sq mi) including adjacent islands, it covers six percent of Earth's total surface area and 20.4 percent of its total land area. With 1.1 billion people as of 2013, it accounts for about 15% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent includes Madagascar and various archipelagos. It contains 54 fully recognized sovereign states (countries), nine territories and two de facto independent states with limited or no recognition.
Africa's population is the youngest amongst all the continents; the median age in 2012 was 19.7, when the worldwide median age was 30.4.Algeria is Africa's largest country by area, and Nigeria by population. Africa, particularly central Eastern Africa, is widely accepted as the place of origin of humans and the Hominidae clade (great apes), as evidenced by the discovery of the earliest hominids and their ancestors, as well as later ones that have been dated to around seven million years ago, including Sahelanthropus tchadensis, Australopithecus africanus, A. afarensis, Homo erectus, H. habilis and H. ergaster – with the earliest Homo sapiens (modern human) found in Ethiopia being dated to circa 200,000 years ago. Africa straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas; it is the only continent to stretch from the northern temperate to southern temperate zones.

Plot: Set in the post-Apocalyptic Southwest seven years after the outbreak of a deadly and unstoppable virus, Zompyre Rising tells the dramatic and action-packed story of a small band of survivors who face relentlessly insurmountable odds. As their numbers dwindle and infighting threatens to tear the survivors apart, new hope is found that may be the very key to mankind's survival. But as they soon discover, they are not alone; they are being watched, and the virus might not be the biggest threat to their survival after all.

Plot: When a small, mysterious meteorite strikes in a suburban neighborhood, no one takes much notice. But when the undead suddenly walk the Earth, embarking on bloodthirsty and infectious rampages, changing once proud population centers into apocalyptic wastelands, eyebrows begin to raise. Five years later, a surviving group of rag-tag survivors fought for their survival in the only way they knew how: by taking steps to ensure they survive. Led by the always angry Zeke (Stefan Beck), these clichés had lost everything, except each other. Featuring an original and ensemble cast including Cory Bourland, Laura Dumas, and Chase Burnett, this semi-full length adventure from visionary filmmaker Jordan Funderburk, and the twisted mind of screenwriter Matt Hulme, "Zompyres: Texas" is the tale of lost souls, of children, and of glory. Maybe. This is the tale of the Zompyres.

Plot: A quirky, out-of-of place worker at a crucifix factory in the Bible Belt invents a device he claims can show pictures of Heaven.

Brawls have broken out inside South Africa's parliament after opposition MPs were thrown out of the chamber during President Jacob Zuma's State of the Nation address. Zuma was repeatedly stopped from speaking by opposition members, notably those from the radical Economic Freedom Fighters Party and its firebrand leader Julius Malema. Addressing Zuma, Malema said: "Sitting in front of us here is a man who is incorrigible, an incorrigible man. Rotten to the core.

We fall out
We fall in
Creature comfort me
Stay for a bit
You grow up
The sun is in
And you know what you decide
Could change everything
It always has
(If you feel a little farther away
Don't beat yourself up)
No one is there
To answer your pain
We all have our hurts
Could all use a friend
But not before we set things straight
You owe yourself the chance to change today
You call up
I give in
My hands are tied
I'm not helping things
Through all this
There must come days
when you get closer to
understanding why
I can't see you
(if you feel a little farther away
Don't beat yourself up)
No one is there
To answer your pain
We all have our hurts
Could all use a friend
But not before we set things straight
You owe yourself the chance to change today
I know you care
But I won't be there
I wish you safe return
Don't beat yourself up
