Kathereine Marie Heigi was born in Washington, DC, on November 24, 1978, to Nancy and Paul Heigi. A short time afterwards the family moved to New Canaan, Connecticut, where Katherine was to spend the majority of her childhood. The youngest member of her family, Katherine, or “Katie” as she is nicknamed, has two elder siblings, John and Meg. Tragically, her older brother Jason died in 1986 of brain injuries suffered in car accident.
Katherine was first thrust into the limelight as a child model. An aunt, visiting the family in New Canaan, took a number of photographs of her niece then aged nine, in a series of poses to advertise a hair care product she had invented. Upon returning to New York and with permission from Katherine’s parents, she sent the photos to a number of modeling agencies. With in a few weeks Katherine had been signed to Wilhelmina, a renowned international modeling agency. Almost immediately she made her debut in a magazine advertisement, and soon followed this with an inaugural television appearance in a national commercial for cheerios breakfast cereal.

Twenty years ago things that were used for household work were still traditional such as a broom, a mop, and dust cloth. They were only cleaning tools. Only a few people had electric refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, or other appliances that people now consider almost a necessity.
Today many people own appliances from the big ones like refrigerators and washing machines to the small ones like electric razors and can openers.
There are two basic kinds of electric appliances: those that provide heat and those that provide motion, such as tractors and seeders.
Modern household appliances are refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, electric clocks, electric stoves, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, electric irons, hair dryers, television sets, mixer or electric beaters, radios, sewing machines, electric fans and so on.

Lapis Benggala
The dish is believed to have come to Indonesia during the turn of the 20th century. As beef was consumed more than lamb or goat, the Lapis Benggala is made out of beef. The word Lapis Benggala is a very interesting mix of Dutch and Malay. “Lapis” from Dutch lapjes (fillet) turned into lapis in Malay and Benggala is Malay for Bengal.

It all happened when I was walking home from school. Two kids from my class decided to pick on me. They started yelling stupid names like spazzo, pigface, etc. I didn’t mind this. I also didn’t mind Kelly punching me in the shoulder. What I did mind was that Kelly kept me occupied while Matthew (better known as Roberts) rode my bike around the cul de sac of the street.
This was harmless. But, still riding, he kicked off my bag and jumped off the bike leaving it to fall. This made me sore. I gave into my temper. When Matthew saw this he took off. So it was me and David Kelly to battle it out. I chased him around and around the street. When I finally caught up to him I threw punches galore. Most of them missed. Kelly managed to escape and run home. I think I was the victor, but if I was, I don’t think it was worth it.

Last year, I left New Zealand for Bunaken Island. I went there with a group of New Zealand divers. Getting there was not quite easy.
Soon after our arrival at Bunaken, we got general briefing. It concluded a description about how to take pictures under water.
Then, we began our diving. In our diving, we saw groups of tiny fish. In order to identify them, we need a good guide. Without some knowledge of their habitat and behavior, it was difficult to identify.
In summary, the trip was mostly enjoyable. This place is so impressive with its marine life.
