&-&热门文章Styled By AfricaSituated only 85 km from Cape Town, Pringle Bay is a charming coastal village on the famous Whale Route. Pringle Bay beach is pristine and spotless and never crowded, even over Christmas! There is a small lagoon with clear warm water where the Buffels River enters the sea. The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and overlooks the Ocean. You will find an interesting mix of young and old, South African and overseas residents. Pringle Bay’s attraction lies in it’s Virtually Zero Crime status, its position and beauty, affordable properties with low rates & taxes, 8 restaurants, clean unpolluted air and being part of the World Biosphere Reserve no further development.
Pringle Bay is named after the Royal Navy Commander-in-Chief Sir Thomas Pringle. The Pringle Bay / Pringlebaai area is full of history! Archaeological evidence of the Khoi Khoi, the original inhabitants, can still be found and two centuries ago runaway slaves sheltered in our mountain caves. False Bay features many tales of pirates and shipwrecks and high on the slopes of Hangklip Mountain is the World War 2 radar station against German U-boats
Pringle Bay on the Whale Coast has long been dubbed the cuisine capital of the Overberg, and for a very good reason! A leisurely Sunday drive on the famous Whale Route, a walk or swim on Pringle Bay beach and then be pampered at a selection of eight restaurants. Some of them award winning or featured on TV programs and magazines, each fills its own niche with a variety of top quality meals in a beautiful and tranquil setting.
Pringle Bay village and its surrounds on the famous Whale Coast offer beaches, lagoons, water sport activities, restaurants and entertainment.

The Sacred Site Foundation of Southern Africa (SSFSA) was registered as a Not for Profit Organisation in March 2012, to achieve self-sustaining funding to protect ancient & prehistoric Sacred Sites around Table Mountain, the Western Cape & Southern Africa.& We do this by organising tours, lectures & by creating Community Custodian initiatives around these ancient Sacred Sites, combined with research aimed at conservation of these areas.
The Sacred Site Foundation of Southern Africa has been established after 10 years of volunteer driven group work, lead by author & researcher Dean Liprini in Cape Town.& The future of SSFSA includes groundbreaking environment and conservation projects in Southern Africa, where we are collating research on each site, whilst working alongside scientists & academic experts in geology, archaeology, astronomy, anthropology, archaeoastronomy & environmental resource management.
You can join us on a hike to an ancient Sacred Site or we can do a lecture tour for your particular group.& We do regular 1 Day Tours in Cape Town to sites on the slopes of Table Mountain, or 14 day tours around South African sites for organised groups.& Please

Ancient astronomy in Southern Africa from the book "Pathways of the Sun" - 2006 - Dean Liprini
&"Could it be that the early people living on the Southern African subcontinent had a complete understanding of the natural landscape and it hidden pyramidal & sacred geometries?& So that, instead of creating monuments in the form left by the ancient Eqyptian, Mayan & Inca civilisations, they applied their understanding to the landscape around them and saw the sacred geometries reflected in nature itself?& Could they have seen the forms of the pyramids in the mountains, rocks & crystals?& Perhaps they noted the places touched by the first light of dawn and the last rays at sunset, and revered them as sacred places, indicating each with a marker stone.
Here I believe they created their shrines, using the tools around them to create geometric markerstones, some with human faces from the rocks, carving & coaxing facial features from the granite & the sandstone.& Often these were given eyes through which the shaman or priest could commune with nature.& These eyes were direced towards the forces of nature of the mighty sky gods.& The Table Mountain Sunpath also interacts with diamond & pyramid shaped rocks, which were both placed & naturally aligned with the Soltices & Equinox sunrise & sunset."
"The scale and magnitude of the South Africa profiles, observatories and Markerstones covering an area over 800 kilometres long is monumental in proportion and defies explanation.& Much work remains to be done to document all the known sites, many of which lie on privately owned land and are inaccessible to the public.& This Mapping of the Southern African Sacred Sites is the primary objective of the Sacred Sites Foundation of Southern Africa, along with developing a strong network of Community Custodianship projects around the country."
Dean Liprini is the author of "Pathways of the Sun - understanding the mysteries of Table Mountain & beyond".& He is based in Cape Town, South Africa and for over 20 years has been an independent Archeo Astronomer / Researcher of these Sunpath Sacred Sites.& To help protect these and other Sacred Sites accross Southern Africa & create greater awareness, in 2012 Dean founded the "Sacred Site Foundation of Southern Africa" (registered in South Africa as a Not for Profit Organisation Reg:100-727-NPO).& He has explored not only the various physical academic sciences, Archaeology, Astronomy, Geology, Geography and History, but also the Sacred Geometries, Spiritual and Metaphysical Healing aspects enshrined within these Sacred Sites.

Proudly Associated with&Buzzfeed got a hold of a , prepared by a select group of the company’s staffers and intended for internal distribution only. It’s a refreshingly frank analysis of the organization’s increasingly difficult challenges, which, for my money, are best summarized in this passage from page 81:
In the coming years The New York Times needs to accelerate this transition from a newspaper that also produces a rich and impressive digital report to a digital publication that also produces a rich and impressive newspaper. This is not a matter of semantics. It is a critical, difficult, and at times, painful transformation that will require us to rethink much what we do every day.
Our leaders know this and we have taken steps in these directions. But it has become increasingly clear that we are not moving with enough urgency. This may be the single most important long-term challenge facing the newsroom and its leaders.
There are factors that, understandably, slow this tricky transition. More than three quarters of our advertising and subscription revenue still comes from the newspaper, and most of our employees have spent their careers building skills to succeed in print. But the huge majority of our readers are digital, and this represents our single biggest opportunity for growth.
As a business, this is an extremely difficult balancing act. It is just as tricky for the newsroom. The experience of putting out the newspaper informs almost every element of how we do our jobs, from the people we hire to how they work to what they produce. These assumptions — based on the newspaper’s fixed dimensions and hard deadlines — are so baked into our days that it is easy to overlook their artificial limitations or the new possibilities we could embrace.
It has become increasingly clear that we are not moving with enough urgency. That’s been true for years, and it was exactly my experience while employed there. To be sure, for a company founded in 1851, The Times has done a remarkable job navigating the turbulent digital landscape, but there’s no prize for best 19th Century enterprise still operating in the 21st Century.
It’s interesting to note that, though the leaked copy of the report is just a photocopy, it’s obvious that it was expertly and even lavishly produced. Its layout, typography, content packaging and pacing are practically magazine-like, for better or worse. On the one hand, the report is beautifully written and
it’s a testament to the thoroughness of the company’s culture. On the other hand, it’s also symptomatic of The Times’ predicament that it requires this frankly extreme level of formality and production to effectively communicate what has been obvious to many, many people both inside and outside the building for years. An email wouldn’t do?
Nevertheless, as I skimmed through the report this afternoon, I found myself gratified to read its findings, even though there’s nothing truly new in its content. I still root for the company’s success, now as I did while an employee. Had it been released while I was working there, I can imagine it would have given me reason to feel optimistic that a moment of meaningful change had arrived. Of course, in and of itself the repor what matters is how the company chooses to act on it.
