Dr. Pravetz is an interesting and remarkable man…….. It has taken one Sunday morning of emergency bodily repairs to develop a respectful esteem of this highly intellectual yet down to earth individual who in some way, seems to be out of place in North Western Namaqualand. He was involved in multiple academic disciplines that most of us would hardly have mastered if we focused on only one of them for our entire lives, and studied, lectured, published, practiced medicine, did research and presented papers in, amongst others, South Africa, Philadelphia, Delaware, New York, Pakistan and Kentucky. His repertoire includes phrases that will make any little boy stand in awe. The opening paragraph of his CV reads as follows: "The following pages constitute a summary and general overview of my achievements in three interrelated fields: Sociology, Medicine and Law. From 2001 until 2005, my efforts, energy and time were concentrated into full time study towards the degree of Bachelor of Legal Letters, culminating with the distinction of being honored as top law student at the University of South Africa at the 2006 Commencement Ceremony held in Pretoria, South Africa. At this ceremony, I received a lifetime honor to have my academic hood draped by Senior Advocate Henry Lever of the Northwest Province, who was the Professor of Sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand during my tenure in that department." - Dr. Pravetz. His studies in Law and Medicine followed on his focus in the field of Sociology. "The field of Sociology has many aspects, including Medical Sociology. My research leanings in this field eventually led to my pursuing formal studies in Medicine. Initially, my general interests are in the field of General Medicine, but I have initiated speciality studies in Anesthesiology in South Africa, and now lie in issues surrounding the management and development of HIV / AIDS treatment in South Africa." - Dr. Pravetz. He'll stitch you together, and make you feel better by saying: You'll be o'k, but I think your modeling career is over! He reached the rank of Lt. Colonel select in the United States Army Reserve, Medical Corps. He was Brigade Psychiatrist for Operation Desert Sands at Fort Bliss, Texas. He specialized in Combat Stress Support and the Psychological Aspects of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare. He was Acting Chief of Professional Services at the 405th Combat Support Hospital. He has undergone Post Doctoral Training in Forensic Psychiatry in Philadelphia. Most recently he qualified as Diving Medical Officer at the University of Stellenbosch, February 2010. The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything. ~Theodore Roosevelt  Dr. Pravetz is not only a Medical Practioner. His achievements cover three interrelated fields: Sociology, Medicine and Law. "My initial academic concentration was in Sociology, for both undergraduate 22 and graduate studies. With this background, I started a full time teaching career at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. I replaced Professor Frederick Van Zyl Slabbert who had just been elected Member of Parliament for the Progressive Reform Party." - Dr. Pravetz. Awards Received: 2000 - 2005 2005 - The Kinsey Award for Excellence in Teaching, John L. Kinsey School, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 2004 - The Manfred Nathan Bequest Bursary for the Most Outstanding Student, by the University of South Africa School of Law. 2000 - United States Army Commendation Medal, 348th General Hospital. (Christo Conradie) Lampranthus (vygie, sandvygie, rankvygie) –Pof. R. Verhoeven Familie Mesembryanthemaceae (“ice plant”, mesems, vygie) Subfamilie Ruschioideae , Groep Lampranthus Die naam Lampranthus is afgelei van die Griekse woorde lampros en anthos wat onderskeidelik helder en blom beteken. Dit het betrekking op die pragtige blomme in „n verskeidenheid van kleure. In die genus is daar ongeveer 220 spesies. Die meeste kom in „n breë band langs die kus van die Noord-Kaap, Wes-Kaap, Oos-Kaap en suidelike deel van KwaZulu- Natal voor. Verder kom dit in die suidelike dele van Namibië voor en een spesie in Australië. In Namakwaland kom ongeveer twaalf spesies voor. Die meeste soorte staan in die volksmond as vygies bekend. Dikwels word na hulle as sandvygie of rankvygie verwys hoewel baie soorte nie rankend of platliggend groei nie, maar struikagtig is. Lampranthus arbuthnotiae is as rankvygie, Lampranthus lunatus as vleisbos, Lampranthus ornatus as rooivygie en Lampranthus suavissimus as vygiebos of langbeen-t‟nouroebos bekend. Die plante is platgroeiend tot regop struike. Die stingels is glad en soms vorm daar wortels by die knope. Blare is kruisgewys teenoorstaande d.w.s. die blare is teenoorstaande, maar die volgende paar is reghoekig ten opsigte van die vorige paar gerangskik. Die blare is vry of naby basis vergroei en die blare is dieselfde grootte en lyk ook eenders. Blare is silindries (buisvormig) of driehoekig, soms kom kolle op die blare voor, tot 50 mm lank. Blomme is terminaal of okselstandig (“axillary”), enkel of in „n digasium (byskerm). Blomme 7 – 70 mm in deursnee. Blomme maak in middag oop en sluit laat namiddag. Blomme van sommige spesies het „n geur soos ryp aarbeie. Kelkblare vyf, kroonblare baie en wit, geel, oranje, rooi of pers van kleur. Staminodia afwesig of teenwoordig. Nektarkliere in die vorm van „n getande ring in die blom. Vrugbeginsel met wandstandige plasentasie en gewoonlik vyfhokkig. Stempel ongeveer driehoekig. Vrug is „n kapsule (doosvrug) met die basis tregtervormig. Sade is D- of peervormig, 0.8 – 2.0 mm lank, bruin tot swart met „n growwe of gladde oppervlak. Studies het getoon dat Lampranthus baie heterogeen is en dat die genus moontlik onderverdeel moet word. Daar is „n gevoel dat slegs die spesies met groot blomme in die genus Lampranthus tuishoort. Die spesies met klein blomme moet in ander genera geplaas word. Die proses het reeds begin deurdat van die spesies na die genus Oscularia (sandsteenvygie) oorgeplaas is.Lampranthus word algemeen aangeplant, veral in rotstuine. Kan maklik van stegies gegroei word. 22 22 17
"Grazia de Beer initiated the Port Nolloth Museum. Her deep interest in the history, culture and environment of Port Nolloth and the Richtersveld resulted in the opening of the Port Nolloth Museum. She conducted research on various topics relating to the area and collected numerous artifacts and old pictures. In order to share the knowledge with the public, Grazia opened the Port Nolloth Museum" An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. ~ Mahatma Gandhi In 23 Fish Eagle Web Design and Video Production Springbok www.fisheagleproductions.co.za We are making it our task to create various detailed and up to date websites, as well as stock video, DVD and broadcasting productions for the geographical area cornered by Hondeklipbaai (SW), Luderitz (NW), Keetmanshoop (NE) and Kamieskroon (SE). �My gunsteling kerkstorie is die een van die ma wat haar tweeling seuntjies in die kerkpaadjie afsleep, buitentoe neem en elkeen 'n lekker pak gee. Sy stap toe weer die kerk in met die twee mannetjies agterna. Die agterste outjie hou die kerkprogram opgerol soos 'n megafoon voor sy mond en roep 23 na sy ma " Marie, dis die Here wat praat, waarom slaan jy jou kinders so baie!" 23 16
