Arid

A region is arid when it is characterized by a severe lack of available water, to the extent of hindering or preventing the growth and development of plant and animal life. Environments subject to arid climates tend to lack vegetation and are called xeric or desertic. Most "arid" climates surround the equator; these places include most of Africa and parts of South America, Central America and Australia.

Change over time

The distribution of aridity observed at any one point in time is largely the result of the general circulation of the atmosphere. The latter does change significantly over time through climate change. For example temperature increase (by 1.5–2.1 percent) across the Nile Basin over the next 30-40 years could change the region from semi-arid to arid, resulting in a significant reduction in agricultural land. In addition, changes in land use can result in greater demands on soil water and induce a higher degree of aridity. See aridification.

Van der Merwe

Van der Merwe is a common Afrikaans surname, derived from the Dutch van der Merwen. It was brought to South Africa in 1661 by Hollanders in the employ of the Dutch East India Company.Van der Merwe roughly translates to "from the Merwede" in Middle Dutch.

The progenitors of the extended clan are Willem Schalk van der Merwe (born Broek, South Holland) and Elsje Cloete (born Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia). Married in the Cape of Good Hope, they later farmed for a living in Hout Bay and eventually retired to Drakenstein. Some of their descendants include:

Alan van der Merwe, South African racer

Albert van der Merwe, South African-born Irish cricketer

Alwyn Van der Merwe, South African physicist

André Carl van der Merwe, South African novelist

André van der Merwe, South African Electrician

Ashley van der merwe, South African aerospace engineer

André van der Merwe, South African urologist

Andries van der Merwe, South African sprinter

D. T. H. van der Merwe, South African-born Canadian rugby player

I Wonder How Come

i wonder how come
we never closed the deal
i wonder how come
you left me here to feel
i wonder how come
the birds no longer sing in their praise of your perfect offering
and why you're just a day away from me
and i am here
oh why
why you're just a day away from me
and i am here
oh why
she broke my fall
i wonder how come
your lips are ruby red
and your heart's always been set like that
i wonder how come
i see it in your eyes
and it comes to me as no surprise
and why you're just a day away from me
and i am here
oh why
why you're just a day away from me
and i am here
oh why
she broke my fall
and why you're just a day away from me
and i am here
oh why
why you're just a day away from me
and i am here
oh why
