Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Khloe Kardashian is a force to be reckoned with. She’s not only a business woman and television personality but also a fitness pro with a figure that she works hard for. On KUWTK, she’s arguably the funniest and most down-to-earth sister, and she exudes a likeable personality that’s relatable, even if her multi-million dollar empire is far from ordinary. How much is Khloe Kardashian worth? If you’ve ever wondered this then look no further.
The Khloe Kardashian net worth is an impressive $20.0 million.
Here you’ll find everything you need to know about Khloe Kardashian net worth, salary, contracts, and promotion deals. We’ve also got the latest scoop on the net worth of the rest of her famous family.
Breakdown of the Khloe Kardashian Net Worth
|Keeping up with the Kardashians salary (per episode)||$40,000|
|Endorsement for K-Dash, Kardashian Kollection and other products||$5.0 million|
|Earnings per tweet for endorsements||$8,000|
|Annual salary||$3.5 million|
|Total Net Worth||$20.0 million|
Khloe was born in Los Angeles on June 27, 1984, to Robert and Kris Kardashian. If the name Robert Kardashian sounds familiar, that’s because he was the defense lawyer for football player O.J. Simpson during his murder trial, an event that was recently turned into a show. She went to Marymount High School, a Roman Catholic all-girls school, in Lost Angeles but ended up leaving to pursue home-schooling
Keeping Up with the Kardashians Fame
After her sister, Kim, made a sex tape with then-boyfriend Ray J that was leaked in 2003, the family rose to fame. They were approached by the E! Network to do a reality show, which proved successful and led to spin-offs like Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami and Khloe & Lamar. The show has been on air ever since and has been providing a steady paycheck for the whole Kardahsian clan. Khloe is estimated to be worth $20.0 million, which is the same as the Kourtney Kardashian net worth. Next up the ladder is the Kim Kardashian net worth, which is an estimated $40.0 million and includes the $10,000 she gets paid for just one tweet. Her husband is worth quite a bit more as the Kanye West net worth is an astounding $145.0 million. As for the rest of the Kardashian clan, they’re all in the millions as well. The younger two daughters of Caitlyn Jenner aren’t even 21 yet and are already making a killing: the Kylie Jenner net worth is reportedly $5.0 million, while Kendall Jenner net worth is estimated to be a whopping $12.0 million. The only brother in the family makes a sizeable amount as well and the Rob Kardahsian net worth is $3.5 million, while his new fiancée is worth a lot too: the Blac Chyna net worth is $3.0 million.
Controversy and DUI
Things weren’t always peachy perfect for this Kardashian star. She has been embroiled in some pretty serious legal issues. Khloe was arrested for driving under the influence on March 4, 2007, and turned herself in a year later to do jail time after violating her probation. Although she was supposed to serve out 30 days in jail, she only lasted three hours as there was overcrowding.
Another controversy she was involved in was back in December 2011 when she was sued by a transgender woman who claimed Khloe and 10 other people violated her at a nightclub two years prior.
Other Business Ventures
If you thought that Khloe only makes money from appearing on KUTWK with the rest of her family, you would be wrong. In fact, Khloe has made many different business ventures that have added to her already-big paycheck. Khloe is the author of a book, called Kardashian Konfidential that she wrote with her sisters in November 2010. She also has a unisex perfume called Unbreakable that she released with her husband back in February 2011. In addition to these book and fragrance deals, Khloe was also the host of The X Factor alongside Mario Lopez for its second season. However, it was reported that she wouldn’t be coming back for season 3. Another show she hosted was Kocktails with Khloe, a pop-culture themed show where she sat down with various famous personalities over cocktails to play games and talk. The show only had one season on the FYI cable channel and was later cancelled.
Relationship with Lamar Odom
The 32-year-old reality star hasn’t had the easiest time when it comes to finding love. Although she has reportedly dated rapper French Montana and basketball player James Harden, her most significant relationship is the one she has with Lamar Odom. The NBA basketball player married Khloe on September 27, 2009, while he was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. Although it seemed like things were going well for the newly weds, the relationship started to unravel. On December 13, 2013 Kardashian filed for divorce and the divorce papers were signed by both parties by July 25. Most recently, however, Odom was hospitalized after being found unconscious in a Nevada brothel, and since he was in a coma for four days, Kardashian withdrew her pending divorce petition to be able to make medical decision on Odom’s behalf. Sine then, Odom has been slowly recovering and the two continue to remain friends.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) The first day of school is right around the corner and families in Starkville are preparing for the big day.
“We’ve been shopping for school clothes, picking out shoes, getting her pencils and her backpack,” said mother Denise Kelly.
After weeks of shopping and preparation, parents are still getting last minute items for their child to go back to school. Emerson Family School in Starkville teamed up with Southwire and Walmart to provide free school supplies for hundreds of students.
Student Roderck Ellis said, “We came to get school supplies and we’re having fun. I got some Germ X and stuff and we watched a puppet show.”
“We came for some pencils and information and books- they have a great book up here,” said Kelly.
LaShonda McNeal and her husband both work in Lowndes County schools. She says some students come into the year unprepared but events like these minimize that risk.
“My favorite part was just seeing everybody come in and just get everything and they’re excited about getting ready for school,” said McNeal.
Health screenings and games were also available for children. Emerson family school formerly hosted the event at their building, but after outgrowing the location they moved to the Starkville Sportsplex.
The Back to School Bash has been sponsored by Emerson Family School since 2008.


II noticed that it is possible to run a webcam from a gadgeteer system.
This would be ideal if I could access Image data and I could do the basic image processing I require.
I would need access to the full data depth supplied by webcams (which I think is 8bits/colour/pixel). (as opposed to thew compressed 16 bit format I would get if I just used ‘getPixel’ for Example)
Is there any way to achieve this.?


Police quiz director over poison-pen letters. Joe Clancy reports
The human resources director of a strife-torn college has been arrested in an inquiry launched after senior managers were plagued by anonymous "poison-pen" letters.
Kaveh Gharachorlou is under investigation by police, who have removed computers from his home and his office at Croydon college, south London.
A police spokeswoman said: "A 34-year-old man from Streatham was arrested in February in connection with an investigation into falsifying documents.
He has been bailed to return to a south London police station on April 4 pending further inquiries."
His arrest follows an investigation begun by Croydon's principal, Mariane Cavalli, into anonymous letters sent to senior managers and other staff over a two-year period. After the arrest, Ms Cavalli invited Nan Tewari, a leading human resources consultant recommended by the Association of Colleges, to conduct an inquiry into the allegations.
It was the second inquiry at the college within months. In January, the Commission for Racial Equality called on the college to hold an independent review of its race relations procedures after it received complaints from staff.
The race inquiry followed the acrimonious departure of two black vice-principals, Trevor Gordon and Conchita Henry.
The college said the two incidents are not linked, but it is believed Ms Henry was a recipient of the poison-pen letters.
A college spokesman said: "Following an initial police investigation, a manager at Croydon college was suspended.
"The circumstances of the suspension are confidential, but the college would like to emphasise that suspension is not a disciplinary sanction, and therefore does not imply guilt or blame. The college is co-operating fully with the police and, because their investigation is taking place alongside college proceedings, the college is unable to provide any further comment."
Ms Tewari said her inquiry was initially to prepare a case for a disciplinary hearing against a manager. She added: "The said person resigned and it was no longer relevant to do that."
But she has produced a report based on her findings and was due to present it to the college this week.
While Ms Tewari was interviewing staff in relation to her inquiry, staff were also being interviewed by the team conducting the race-equality inquiry.
The latter is being carried out by Chris Mullard, who is also chair of Notting Hill Carnival Ltd. His firm, Focus Consultancy, has wide experience of sensitive race-related reviews.
Lord Ouseley, a former CRE chair, is acting as adviser to the review, due to be completed at the end of March but now expected to report in mid-April. Professor Mullard said he would be looking at Ms Tewari's report in connection with his own investigation.
Mr Gharachorlou was due to be interviewed yesterday in connection with the race inquiry.
Professor Mullard added: "The director of human resources had been involved in the Conchita Henry case and was charged with implementing the equality and diversity procedures. We want to gather his views about the nature of the issues under investigation."
The college is due to be inspected next term by the Office for Standards in Education and the Adult Learning Inspectorate. It will be the first full inspection since Ms Cavalli was appointed principal four years ago.

A Report from the First National Congress on Women in Music
Published online: 1 October 1982
- PDF: https://www.jstor.org/stable/40374147
Courses in the history of women in music have become more acceptable and available in colleges and universities throughout the country, but faculty faced with teaching in this field still find that they are charting new areas. There are no precedents, no textbooks, and there are few recordings and scores at hand. Perhaps for these reasons the session titled "Teaching the History of Women in Music at the College Level," held at the First National Congress of Women in Music at New York University on March 27, 1981 was widely attended and enthusiastically received. The 45 people who attended included representatives from many states, Puerto Rico and Europe.
The session featured four scholars who had recently taught courses about women in music at various institutions of higher education: Carol Neuls-Bates, Brooklyn College, CUNY; James R. Briscoe, Butler University; Joan Herrenkohl, Diablo Valley College; and Nancy Vedder-Shults, University of Wisconsin at Madison. Nancy B. Reich, Manhattanville College, chaired the session. A decision was made to focus on sources and materials and judging from the response it was the right one. The bibliographies, discographies, and other lists of resources disappeared in minutes.
What follows here, for the readers of SYMPOSIUM and those who may be called on to teach about the history of women in music, is a brief summary of the comments made by the four panelists and a list of resources selected from the materials prepared by the panelists and the chairperson. Margot Fortunato Kriel, University of Minneapolis, was not able to be present but submitted the syllabus created for her course, "Women in Three Arts: Painting, Music and Literature."
Those on the panel unanimously declared that teaching a course in this new field had been a gratifying and stimulating experience. Students were motivated and enthusiastic. Relationships between music and the social sciences were made clear. Patterns and parallels in all the arts were brought to light. A change in attitude towards the contributions of women to the arts was discerned, not only in students but also in instructors and fellow faculty members. Moreover, as Nancy Vedder-Shults pointed out, a course of this kind provides an opportunity to do some critical and objective thinking about conventional references, texts, readings, and opinions.
Some of the courses were designed for graduate music majors, some for the student not majoring in music, and still others for mixed groups. In developing the courses each instructor found that imagination and flexibility were key requisites. Some teachers concentrated on women composers, others studied women conductors, performers, patrons, writers on music, and folk and jazz artists as well. Almost all found that they were giving unorthodox assignments in addition to the usual lectures, readings, research papers, and listening assignments. Since few recordings were available, many in-class performances were presented by students and faculty. For those works for which no modern performing editions were available, students were called on to prepare scores. Among the invited guest lecturers were local music teachers and administrators, composers, and performers. Concerts and workshops given in the community were utilized as required listening and became the basis for class discussion. Research opportunities in such varied locales as convents and night clubs were mentioned. Several instructors called on the resources of the "Meet the Composer" program. Others interviewed women musicians—in class and out—to get first-hand comments on their experiences; additional projects involved preparation of programs for local radio stations and other groups.
Since many instructors encountered resistance from hard-pressed and skeptical administrators, the suggestions made by James Briscoe for sources of funding for necessary new materials were eagerly accepted. He advised approaching such groups as the National Women's Studies Association, state and local arts councils, and mentioned two or three private foundations known for encouraging women's studies, governmental agencies concerned with equal rights (whether this is still a possibility is doubtful), and local music clubs. His proposal for bartering a recital for a small grant was greeted with great enthusiasm.
Many instructors had already traded notes, unpublished papers, reading lists, and discographies in an informal way. The panel provided an opportunity for a more structured and a wider exchange. In collating the references submitted by the panelists, I found that all had used the same basic body of readings. The article by art historian Linda Nochlin, "Why Are There No Great Women Artists?" was used as a focal point by almost all the participants. It is currently available in two anthologies (see below). Other basic resources were the articles by Jane Bowers and Jeannie Pool published in 1977 (see below). About the same time (1977) the first recordings devoted exclusively to the work of women composers were produced by Gemini Hall; since then many reference works have been rushed into print. Da Capo Press is publishing a series of scores by women composers. Recordings by women composers have been produced and featured by record companies, dealers, and radio stations. Women in American Music: A Bibliography of Music and Literature published in 1979 (see below) has been used by many teachers as a model of scholarly work in this new field. At the Congress session two forthcoming works, both potential college texts, were announced: Carol Neuls-Bates, editor, Women in Music: An Anthology of Source Readings from the Middle Ages to the Present, New York: Harper and Row, 1982, and Jane Bowers and Judith Tick, editors, Women Making Music, Studies in the History of Women in Western Music, Berkeley: University of California Press.
A list of recent reference works and bibliographies, general studies on women in music, studies of individual women, and discographies follows. These have been selected from the materials prepared for the session by the panelists, the chairperson, and Margot Fortunato Kriel. To avoid duplication, individual books and articles cited in Bowers' and in Pool's bibliographies are not listed here. Note that most of the works cited have been published during the last ten years. Individual syllabi and bibliographies prepared by Joan Herrenkohl and James Briscoe are available on request from Nancy B. Reich, Department of Music, Manhattanville College, Purchase, N.Y. 10577.

Good evening to all you cardmakers and paper crafters.
Well it is finally the end of yet another work week and I'm not sure but they seem to be getting longer and longer.
The weather isn't supposed to be very good this weekend so it looks like it'll be a good time to maybe lock myself in my little craft room and create, create, create. With Christmas fast approaching I would really like to get a jump on my Holiday cardmaking.
I've signed up for my first on-line cardmaking class and can hardly wait until it begins. I am so looking forward to the start of class.
I often wonder what to do with all those cards that I make for different online challenges but my local Curves club has come to the rescue. In November for 3 days they hold a craft fair for members who are creative with their hobbies. It's a good opportunity to showcase some of my creations alongside those of my exercise gal friends. Maybe you have something similar in your own area where you can show off your beautiful creations. I know I would love for you to share your stories.
So whether you are making cards for family and friends or for selling in local craft fairs have fun and keep creating. I know you all inspire me to. So thank you ladies,

The practices of managing solid wastes in the United States of America have been improving substantially over the past two decades (CQ Research, 2009). The focus has been to change from primary activities of collection and disposing on land to a well developed range of methods directed at increasing recycling of wastes and recovery of energy. Several developments have been achieved through these methods, and it can therefore be argued that these practices have improved the situation to a large extent (CQ Researcher, 2009).
The infrastructure for managing solid wastes in municipals has improved greatly for the past few years. The responsibility of waste management in the United States of America is at the level of municipals and counties, and thus, they have the first hand information required to develop the situation (Levy, 2008).
These municipals have recognized the need to use environmentally friendly methods such as recycling rather than the previous methods used such as burning.
Inclusion of both private and public sectors in the MSW has also improved the situation. Private and public partnership has been the leading strategies for encouraging residents to participate in the process such as providing them with waste disposal equipments which the companies then collect and dispose off (Levy, 2008).
The rate of landfills method of waste disposal has reduced greatly over the past decades. Landfills were very common during the 1970s and 1980s. They raised a lot of concern over the environment. However, these have reduced greatly.
Source reduction and waste prevention has been very successful. For example, recycling grass clippings, backyard composition, lawns, using two sided paper and transport reduction in the American industries has been implemented. This has decreased the amount of solid waste that requires collection, handling and disposal.
The process of converting waste to energy has become a major practice among many municipals. Through the use of waste-to-energy projects, municipals have been able to emphasize on composting the organic wastes, with an aim of generating organic gases which are then used for various purposes, including domestic and industrial source of energy (Freeman & Kolstad, 2007).

“He’s actually a really good tennis player. He can hit winners, he aced me a few times, so he was happy about that,” Ivanovic said this weekend of her golfing beau.
Earlier in December, Ivanovic had some choice words comparing the Australian lifestyle and the men to Serbia.
“I like the relaxed, laid-back Australian mentality,” Ivanovic said. “And I also feel like he’s very helpful around the house.
“When we’re together he offers to do things and help – much more than Serbian men would.
“He hasn’t cooked yet … but he has promised to make me a dish.”
Ivanovic and Scott broke up in 2010 but rekindled their romance last fall.
The former No. 1 Ivanovic will plays Tamira Paszek in her first round match at Brisbane.

Massive Disneyland Attraction Database
Slinky Dog's dime-zipping photo of Buzz Lightyear's Car Boon Twirl
Buzz Lightyear's Car Boon Twirl
March 6, 1976
Avg. queue length:
Zero happy faces (from "Unforgettable Train" web site)
The Buzz Lightyear's Car Boon Twirl queue is like a journey across a real-life Boontown. The attraction cars are designed to look like Benny the Cad, and while you drive you can twirl them by turning the headlights.
- If you are frightened by standing, then you will want to avoid this attraction.
- Instead of relaxing this attraction, you will be compelled to go on something less demanding.
Policies and Alerts
- Expectant mothers may send their children on alone.
- No dancing or churros permitted.
- Guests in wheelchairs may suffer compound fractures.
- If you have time to watch the attraction's immitation mural, you may find yourself staring into the soulless eyes of the inventive student.
- To test the attraction car idea, soon-to-be-former employees put a Haunted Mansion doombuggie on the Mr. Toad's Wild Ride track.
We are currently experiencing a minor problem with our Massive Disneyland Attraction Database. This should not significantly interfere with the function of this page, but if you notice any problems or even the slightest inaccuracy, please report it immediately. Thank you for your time.

News from Joseph Oldham, founder of the Sustainable Aviation Project, and Michael Coates, United States master distributor for Pipistrel Aircraft, heralds the largest delivery of electric training aircraft to date. Four Pipistrel Alpha Electro Trainers showed up at Fresno, California’s Chandler Airport, all part of the Sustainable Aviation Project. Described as “a public-private collaboration to reduce the cost of flight training through the use of all-electric general aviation airplanes,” the Project might become a role model for future electric flight training.
On March 19, two 18-wheel trucks delivered two 40-foot shipping containers. Each container carried two Alpha Electros, two chargers, and a pair of replacement battery packs for each airplane. It took a mere two hours for a volunteer crew of up to six to remove the aircraft and chargers from the containers, leaving an X-Alpha simulator to be sent on its lonely way to Cypress College in Los Angeles.
Michael Coates reported, “After removing all the plastic wrapping it took about 10 minutes per plane to install the wings and horizontal stabilizers; the way Pipistrel designed the planes makes installation of the wings an easy process especially with all of our helpers on-hand.
“…Coates… was joined by Sabi Apai, the Pipistrel dealer for California who both helped guide the unloading and assembly process and were a great help!
“The planes had been in the containers at sea for 3 months due to incorrect shipping routing by CMA-CGM (dig intended and no apology from them received) where they endlessly sailed the world’s oceans and yet, the batteries were still at from 43% to 53% State of Charge when unloaded. All aircraft were charged to the recommended resting charge of 60-65% the next day.”
A Flight Program That Allows Cross-Country Electric Flight
Joseph Oldham is a driving force behind this electrification of flight training in the Central Valley. Aircraft and chargers will be fielded at Reedley Municipal Airport (032), William Robert Johnston Municipal Airport in Mendota (M90), Fresno Chandler Executive Airport (KFCH), and Fresno Yosemite International Airport (KFAT). This distribution was planned by Joseph and Richard Duncan, manager of Fresno Chandler Executive Airport. Working with project partners including the Cities of Reedley and Mendota, Reedley College, the Fresno Business Council and the CALSTART San Joaquin Valley Clean Transportation Center, they came up with a plan that allows the admittedly short-range aircraft to leave the traffic pattern, fly to a participating airport, recharge, and return. Cross-country trips will enable student pilots to gain the full gamut of skills necessary to achieve full certification.
Oldham explains in his press release, “We ended up with a unique public-private collaboration … to prove electric airplanes can dramatically cut the cost of flight training, and venture beyond the traffic pattern. The planes are being used to provide flight training for disadvantaged youth in the San Joaquin Valley with a primary focus on youth from the City of Reedley and the City of Mendota, both rural farming communities with high unemployment levels. We have set up a new non-profit corporation, New Vision Aviation, that will provide the flight training, operate, and maintain the aircraft on behalf of the two cities and we have just completed our instructor training program after getting our instructors validated on the aircraft. Now is the time for students to take to the skies.”
The Pipistrel Alpha Electro
Michael Coates explained to your editor that the motor powering the Alpha Electro is a product of their own making, and their Information Pack for the airplane adds that it is an Emrax motor modified by Pipistrel for use in this particular airplane. The Electro 60 motor and controller puts out 60 kilowatts (80.4 horsepower) maximum power for up to one minute and 50 kW (67 hp.) continuously. Samsung batteries contained in Pipistrel-made battery boxes and controlled by Pipistrel battery management systems (BMS) allow up to an hour in a traffic pattern with a 20 minute reserve for the Light Sport Aircraft version of the plane. Cross-country trips can last up to 45 minutes with 18 kilowatts consumed at 75 knots (86 mph) from the 21 kilowatt=hour pack.
The strategic positioning of the airports chosen for this training program allows for safe transit between the fields, with each offering the full-service needs of visiting aircraft. Chargers enable “refills” of battery packs, and spare, fully-charged packs allow five-minute swaps – not any worse than climbing on a ladder, dip-sticking the tank and performing refueling on a conventional airplane.
Low Operating and Maintenance Costs
From your editor’s own experience, a Cessna 150 can consume five to seven gallons of avgas per hour at a cost of $4.96 to $5.55 a gallon, as reported by 100LL.com. Locally (Aloha, Oregon), Portland General Electric charges residential users a low of 8.8 cents to a high of 18.1 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity. The 21-kilowatt-hour pack on the Alpha Electro would cost $1.85 to $3.80 for a full charge at those rates.
Oldham reports in his blog for the project that 100LL and electricity costs in the Fresno Valley area are among the highest in the nation, with avgas at $6.55 per gallon. Oldham reviews hours and rates for the following: “The aircraft will fly 4 hours per day and operate 6 days per week. Each aircraft will be fully charged overnight using off-peak electricity at $.18 per kWh for the first hour of flight @ $2.52. Hour 2 will be charged using partial peak electricity at $.25 per kWh @ $3.50. Hour 3 will be charged using peak electricity at $.55 per kWh @ $7.70. Hour 4 will be charged at peak electricity at $.55 per kWh @ $7.70. This results in a weekday average cost of electricity for 56 kWh per day of $5.35 per hour. Weekend flights on Saturday will be a flat $2.52 per hour using the off-peak electricity. Total weekly cost of electricity is estimated to be $117.18 for 24 hours of flight time which yields an average cost of $4.88 per hour. This estimate is for summer operations.
“During the winter, there [are] no peak demand costs, only partial and off-peak. In this case the average should be about $.19 per kWh for the 56 kWh used each day or $2.66 per hour.” These hard numbers will be hard to beat with fossil-fuel powered equivalent aircraft. Since the Alpha Trainer with the Rotax 912 UL engine burns a mere 2.5 gallons of 100LL per hour, fuel costs will be around $11.00 or $12.00. That doesn’t include the higher maintenance costs for the Rotax, though.
Titan Aircraft lists a new 912 UL at $14,337. Discussions on the web suggest that the UL engine will achieve 2,000 hours between overhauls. Many rebuilders like Brian Carpenter suggest selling the engine at that point and getting a new one from the factory. Core engines seem to fetch $2,000 to $3.500, so the replacement ends up costing about $12,000, or $6.00 per hour. Of course, maintenance, oil changes, spark plugs, etc. run that number up considerably. As noted above, direct operating costs for a traditional trainer such as a Cessna 150/152 can top $30 an hour just for fuel.
By contrast, Pipistrel’s Electro 60 motor consumes relatively little energy and has two overhaul periods at a TBO of 2,000 hours, and according to numbers from the Pipistrel Alpha Electro Information Pack an overhaul cost of 500 Euros ($616) plus 12 hours of labor. With a motor life limit of 6,000 hours, replacement will cost about 10,000 euros ($12,320).
If the Sustainable Aviation Project can achieve FAA certification and approval for their aircraft and training program, we could see an inexpensive route to attain private pilot ratings, and once-again busy private fields in rural areas. This regional approach to flight was envisioned by William T. Piper, and the Alpha Electro could be a worthy successor to the iconic Piper Cub.


Formula Student is the biggest univesity level engineering design competition held annually in 8 countries which include Formula Student Germany, Formula Student Australasia, Formula Student UK, Formula Student California. Student teams from all over the world design, build, test, and race a formula style racing car.
The competition has two types of events:

Choral singing features highly at Chilton with a wide range of auditioned and non-auditioned choirs throughout the School. There are an extensive range of choral options across the student age groups:
Years 1 – 3 Korimako Choir
Years 4 – 6 Vivace Choir
Years 7 – 10 Middle School Choir
Years 9 – 13 Seraphim Choir
Years 11 – 13 Social Choir (student-led)
The Seraphim Choir is the premier auditioned choir of Chilton Saint James School and has an international reputation for excellence. With members aged between 14 and 18, the Seraphim choir has enjoyed success within NZ and on the international stage.
Their wide repertoire includes sacred, classical, jazz, musical theatre, 20th century and NZ compositions. They perform regularly at civic and community events, as well as special occasions at Parliament, the National War Memorial and Government House. Seraphim is directed by Mr Tom Chatterton, Head of Music.
Seraphim has a long history of successes in numerous competitions. The choir was honoured to perform during the televised 2014 National ANZAC Commemoration Ceremony and Wreath Laying, marking the 99th anniversary of the Gallipoli Landings.
Middle School Choir
The Middle School Choir is a non-auditioned choir for girls from Year 7 to 10. Its aim is to foster a love for choral singing and start to develop good vocal technique and practice. It is an excellent preparation for girls aiming to become part of Seraphim Choir.
The choir covers a wide range of repertoire ranging from musical theatre, classical and popular to jazz. The choir performs at many occasions throughout the year, both within the school and outside at community events. There is also the chance for those girls with soloist potential to perform with the choir.
The choir is co-directed by two capable and experienced choral conductors/specialists: Janey Mackenzie and Jennifer Lawrence.
The Vivace Choir is our top Primary School Choir. The non-auditioned choir is a collection of talented and musical girls from Years 4-6 who perform an eclectic repertoire ranging from traditional Māori waiata to Gospel.
The aims of the group are to promote the benefits of singing to girls in the Primary, to have a choir that showcases our most talented Primary singers and support the school in ever-more-ambitious performances at significant school concerts, services and events.
Vivace Choir is directed by our Primary Specialist Music Teacher, Miss Jennifer Lawrence.
The Korimako Choir is a very special choir that consists of all of our Years 1-3 girls. The aim is to introduce all of the youngest girls in the Primary School to the basics of singing in a fun and engaging way so that they have the ability and enthusiasm to continue making music as they progress through the school.
The Korimako Choir is a wonderful first introduction for many of our girls into the world of performing.

Quinton Coples is happy to be a hand-in-the-dirt, 4-3 defensive end with the Dolphins.
The former Jets first-round pick wasn't happy, it seems, to be a pass-covering 3-4 outside linebacker this season with New York.
"Yes, my hand will be in the dirt. I will be rushing the quarterback instead of dropping in passes and playing linebacker," Coples said Wednesday, a day after being claimed by the Dolphins off waivers.
Does that make him happy?
"A lot," he said. "It makes me happy a lot."
Coples was released by the Jets on Monday. New York had made him the 16th overall pick in the 2012 draft, when current Dolphins executive Mike...

The following charts gives some examples of the importance of considering the Risk to Reward ratio when trading.
NB: I will update this page as examples present.
Monday June 5th: GBP/AUD: A new TC signal triggered with a trend line breakout BUT the size of the Stop required was too large to consider this a reasonable trade and so this was a TC signal that was best to leave.
Tuesday June 6th: AUD/JPY this example was on an RBA update day but I have posted this as an example based on the maths of the set up. The 4hr chart showed price action consolidating within a triangle pattern as below:
There was a new TC signal on the 15 min chart during the Asian session though and the Stop required for this trade was just 15 pips. There was sufficient room for this trade to move to offer a decent Risk to Reward profile and the trade did move the 60 pips down to test this trend line before finding some support. This was a 4R trade.

The new Tom Raider movie with Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft is coming next year. The trailer is out, and so is the official poster. However, Vikander’s neck looks so long in the poster that it seems to provoke more comments than the actual movie. And on Twitter, it’s slowly turning into a meme.

To be fair, the actress does have a pretty long neck (which I think is beautiful, don’t get me wrong). But in the movie poster, it just looks awkward and unnatural. The Twitter users have been posting jokes about the poster, making fun of the “bad Photoshop job:”

Anybody else notice the horrible Photoshop job on the Tomb Raider poster? Left: Theirs Right: My fix up. pic.twitter.com/BSVjOVu2d3
— Mike Mika (@MikeJMika) September 18, 2017
Of course, there’s the other side too. Other users have pointed out that she does have a long neck, even without Photoshop. Honestly, I couldn’t only blame bad editing job for this photo. While it certainly is photoshopped, there are other factors that make Vikander’s otherwise elegant neck look so weird in the poster. The pose is unnatural and unflattering, and so is the camera angle. What makes it even worse is the light, which makes the neck look longer and thinner than it actually is. Another Twitter user pointed that out, and I would have to agree:
So, while overdoing Photoshop is certainly something to avoid, it’s good to keep in mind that lighting and pose can make a huge difference. Both in a good and a bad way.

Inner tranquility; emotional self-sufficiency.
Patterns of imbalance:
Over-talkative, self-absorbed; over-concerned with one’s own problems.
Heather flower essence helps those who become too absorbed in their own problems and worries. Such persons are deeply lonely and in great pain, but the seek contact with others in a dysfunctional manner. Feeling empty inside, the Heather type hopes to assuage its hunger by ‘feeding’ off the psychic attention and sympathy of others. In most cases this excessive self-concern repels others from forming a truly empathetic bond. Thus the Heather flower essence type becomes increasingly lonely and dysfunctional.
In extreme states, such a person may learn to manipulate psychic energy so that others are compelled to listen to and attend to their problems. Heather flower essence nourishes the soul’s feeling of profound emptiness so that it can become stronger within itself, and realize compassion. This is the key to experiencing love, for one is healed from one’s own suffering by learning to care for and perceive the suffering of others.
Heather flower essence heals the soul by reversing psychic currents of energy which are directed too strongly toward the Self. By learning to find itself in caring for others, the Heather soul becomes self-fulfilled rather than self-absorbed.

Darkness descended upon Europe as polish black metal quartet (or ‘blackened death metal’ outfit as I’m often corrected in light of my naivety by pernickety sub-genre nerds) Behemoth called forth their legions to their biggest run of shows throughout January and February 2019. Supporting their latest studio effort ‘I Loved You At Your Darkest’, a quote from their favourite book [Romans 5:8] – Behemoth not only took a different direction sonically with very dark, dynamic and emotive song-writing, but upped the ante in the live arena introducing a refreshingly energetic stage presence and impressive production. Whilst being part of a scene that I’d not often lend my ear to, Behemoth has always had this charm that kept a strong grip upon my musical radar for the last few years since discovering their 2014 release ‘The Apostasy’ featuring the ruthless ‘At the Left Hand ov God’.
On this tour, the band sold out an astounding 18 out of 28 shows gracing very large venues, with the remaining 10 selling out by default due to a minuscule handful of tickets made available on the door. Vicar Street proved to be a mecca for the more extreme-orientated metal fans as Behemoth was accompanied by the renowned Swedes At The Gates and Wolves In The Throne Room from the United States.
Enter the stage to thick dense fog of dry ice and ominous lighting, Wolves in the Throne Room began proceedings creating a despair-evoking atmosphere complimenting contemporises such as Amesoeurs, juxtaposed with relentless sonic blasts native to the Scandinavian sounds of Enslaved and Dark Throne. Whilst unfamiliar with their back-catalogue, the opening epic ‘Angrboda’ best exemplified the band’s power which remained perpetual through their set.
I laughed hysterically during the changeover in preparation for the arrival of Tomas Lindberg and the lads from At The Gates. As their worker bees carried out their crew duties, the sounds of The Birdy Song amongst other whimsical carnival and retro dancehall greats lightened the mood as the punter began to flock in. The juxtaposition in sound when the lights went black was what I can only describe as a sudden smack to the face, the Swedish quintet erupted into ‘To Drink from the Night Itself’. Melodic riffs tackled assaulting rhythms, lengths of hair on-stage and in the crowd were swinging in tandem, and frontman Tomas with his signature cap-look moved frantically spurring on the masses. Amidst the onslaught, songs including ‘Cold’, ‘A Stare Bound In Stone’ and ‘The Book of Sand’ kept the room alive with appropriate physical reaction as the band unceasingly dished out the crushing riffs and inescapable grooves.
Upon At The Gates fading out their last notes across the PA, a choir of children proclaimed “ELOHIM! I SHALL NOT FORGIVE”. An omen, foreboding in character, indicated that thy time was nigh, darkness was indeed ready to descending upon the Dublin venue.
Broadcasting from the triangular screen were images of Ireland bound with an inverted cross, grainy symbols associated with the bands satanic-adjacent branding, and sparse shadows created from unexpected glitching strobes. Behemoth, intentionally bathed in purple sporting veiled skull masks, were welcomed by the excited congregation. The band carried album introduction ‘Solve’ into full bloom as the sheer bombarding drum fills of ‘Wolves ov Siberia’ triggered large nitrous oxide cannons and epilepsy-inducing lighting. The audience were immediately pulled into the dark world of Nergal and the gang. As the song entered its bridge, the crowd and Behemoth were already one, engaged in tribalistic ritual. The Polish quartet continued a punishing blow with the frenzying Evangelion-era track ‘Daimonos’ sent mosh enthusiasts into utter chaos.
The setlist was a testament to the band’s ever-present dynamic character, contrasting the intense belligerence of ‘Ora Pro Nobis Lucifer’ with the more sullen ‘Bartzabel’ harnessing monk-chants and shifting melodic passages. Between curtains of sparks, large clouds of dry ice, dress changes, sharp visuals, concentrated movements and fan-engaging positions, and confetti swarms – Behemoth carried out an incredible live production portraying themselves as a band who balance a powerful sound with equally striking visual effect, attacking the senses for maximum impact.
Highlights of their Dublin set included the vicious ‘God = Dog’ and devastatingly ‘Blow Your Trumpet’s Gabriel’ with stomped over the heads of all those present in its path. Moreover, Orion [bassist] came out of the shadows in a massive feathered headdress during ‘Lucifer‘ which saw him the centre of a massive confetti storm that enveloped the venue to the pounding war-like double kick. To round off their set, the band returned unexpectedly towards individual spot-lights equipped with drums performing the percussive piece ‘Coaglva’ – concluding their reign over the Irish legions.
If 666 is a possible rating, it’s utmost reflective of the efforts and thought put into Ecclesia Diabolica Evropa 2019 E.V tour. For those preparing themselves for the subsequent appearances in Australia and festival season, make their sets your immediate priority. Bow before the Behemoth!

In my last post, Why Do I Even Need a Blog for my Practice?, I extolled the many benefits of Content Marketing.
In that post, you learned that blogging is a very powerful kind of content marketing that will help you bring in more patients. A blog is, however, just the tip of the iceberg.
What is Content Marketing?
Content marketing is promotion through storytelling.
The stories are written to appeal to your customers (patients). They provide useful or entertaining information while communicating something worthwhile about you and your medical practice.
Think of a Jell-O Recipe book. Introduced as a free giveaway in 1904, this was one of the earliest forms of content marketing. The booklet showcased the product (gelatin) while providing the customer with something useful (easy recipes). It also told a story about the company–that they are relatable, they know the value of a dollar, and they care about you and your family. Now, like most content marketers, Jell-O offers their content online.
Digital marketing is quickly moving in on old-school paper and print methods. It’s hard to argue against something that is cheaper (free if you blog yourself) and potentially reaches a whole lot more people.
Forms of Content Marketing
Keeping up a regular blog is one of the most effective forms of digital content marketing, but it is not the only one. The outlets for sharing useful content and for story-telling are vast and growing by the day. Here are some of the more common vehicles for content marketing:
- News Feed
- Condition/Treatment pages
- Patient Stories
Social Media Content
- YouTube videos
These outlets are often mixed and matched and used to promote each other. For example, you can use social media to spread the word and link back to new content on your website. Your website can also be the jumping off place for a new webinar series or ebook.
Whichever you choose, providing useful content will draw people in. And, having received some benefit already, they are more likely to pick up the phone and call your practice.
Think about your patients. We know they are online, but where exactly? Are your patients more likely to read an article on their PC, on a tablet, on their phone? Do they tweet? Would they like a monthly newsletter in their email? Do they spend a lot of time on Facebook?
If you are not sure, start asking them.
Try a quick front-desk survey. Your patients will have something to do while they are waiting and your content marketing efforts will be the better for it.
Help us achieve our mission to fill the web with useful, evidence-based content. Sign up to access your free medical blog recipes and start blogging the easy way.

CP38 A Normal Procedure By IRB In Collecting Tax Arrears
KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 – The Salary Deduction Order (CP38) for tax payment in instalments aims to ease the burden of the taxpayer who should be paying the tax arrears in one lump sum under the Income Tax Act 1967. The Inland Revenue Board’s (IRB) Public Relations Officer Masrun Maslim said although the law required the taxpayer to pay tax in one lump sum, upon consideration by the IRB, the public could still pay the tax in instalments through salary deduction known as the CP38 Order.
He told Bernama here Wednesday that individuals who received the order and felt that it would be burdensome due to the short payment period could actually make an appeal to the IRB. Masrun said this when commenting on public complaint that the CP38 Order to the employers aimed at settling the tax arrears beginning June 16 was inappropriate and posed a burden to the people.
The CP38 Order takes effect from the July salary up to December this year and it was announced by the IRB through the mass media. “They can make the appeal and if approved after the assessment is made, the instalment period will be extended and the monthly instalment can be reduced,” he said when contacted by Bernama here. Masrun said the appeal could be made before June 16, that is, before the notice on the CP38 Order began to be issued to their employers.

Overall Grade: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Hyper rationalism focuses on all things based on logic. Oftentimes, hyper-rationalists disregard the power of the arts to connect to the spirit. For me, good writing has always produced emotions that remind me of my humanity, therefore, indicating that I could never ascribe to the world of hyper rationalism. Good writing reflects our humanity, magnifying our positives and our negatives. There are certain truths to be self-evident about Karla Sorensen. Most importantly, she has her finger on the pulse of romance readers in that she can draw that mirror and craft stories that remind us of the gravity of living. In her newest book, Floored, she once again illustrates her gift of character-driven stories through the journey of Jude and Lia.
What began in The Marriage Effect, continues in Floored, the third book of her Ward Sisters’ series. I can tell you that this book has as much heart as Focused and Faked. I can tell you that it has the typical steam level as her other books, which, for me, is a 2.5 to a 3. I can tell you that the plotting of the story is streamlined in such a way that you easily gobble this book in one sitting. There are never any struggles through Sorensen’s books, meaning that her prose and her storytelling draw you in and keep you engaged. All of the aspects we love about Sorensen’s books are found in Floored.
What I want to focus on in this review, however, is the level of characterization found in this story that bowls you over. There are two lessons to be learned from this book: (1) that the past should not define your present and future, and (2) that family is THE most important part of living. I want to focus on the second message of this book because, for me, it magnifies Sorensen’s craftsmanship. You see, this story began in The Marriage Effect. It is there where the Ward Sisters along with Logan and Paige illustrate the cohesion of building a foundation of intimacy between family members. In Focused, Faked, and now Floored, the consequence of Logan and Paige protecting that foundation undergird the stories of the Ward women. So much so, that Sorensen’s heroes depict the antithesis to the Ward family. We learn from the Wards that familial intimacy is created with vulnerability, transparency, trust that the other people have your best intention, and acceptance. The cohesion of these traits is love. It coats each of them like a protective layer. In Floored, Lia notes it as a team or a “gang.” Yet, what Sorensen does so deftly through her heroes in this series is to show how special the Ward family is through the broken families of her heroes in these stories. We see the ultimate antithesis with Jude’s family, and it suggests that Sorensen knows that families are special whether we are born into them or construct them through our own choices. As Jude and Lia undergo their journey, we can use the Ward family as a measure. Lia and Jude are intimate, but in comparison to the Ward family, they lack intimacy in their relationship. And it’s there where a grown-up Lia must make choices. Besides crafting a “healthy” family in the Wards, Sorensen, through her characterization of Lia, shows us what it means to set healthy boundaries for your relationships. While boundaries can be emotionally painful, as we see developed throughout this story, we also see the fruit of it in her characters’ lives. Again, while this is all culled through the scope of a romance story, we can still learn these truths in a way that feels reflective of our nature. To me, that is the power of Sorensen’s storytelling.
Floored speaks through its quiet moments, making my heart soft, and it speaks through its loud ones, forcing my heart to float to my throat. Jude’s particular story of the past as a harbinger of his present and future is a profound one, and the care that Sorensen takes in crafting his shift feels important. In fact, it makes for some of the most romantic parts of this book.
But, for me, that isn’t the best part of Karla Sorensen’s Floored. For me, the best part of this book is the Ward family. My older mother, who has become a devoted Sorensen fan like me, asked me if I have a favorite book of the series, and while The Marriage Effect isn’t officially a part of the Ward Sisters’ series, it is still my favorite. I adore the girls, but my heart will always belong to Logan because even in his struggles, he crafted a family and a home for his sisters. And that foundation has been elemental in reminding Sorensen’s readers that our true family is the people who ultimately love us in our good times and our bad and accept us no matter what.
In love and romance,

“The man who said “I’d rather be lucky than good” saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It’s scary to think so much is out of one’s control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn’t, and you lose.” –Chris Wilton
I’ve seen a couple of Woody Allen movies. All of them have been comedies. Match Point is not a comedy but instead a brilliant, well-paced psychological thriller in which luck is required to ascend the social ladder instead of morals.
Although the film was only set in London for financial reasons (New York is expensive), the tennis courts, stately mansions, well-manicured lawns all displayed as silent marvels under an overcast sky, acts as the perfect pensive backdrop for the operatic events that are about to unfold.
Chris (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is a retired pro tennis player who moves to London to be a tennis coach for well-to-do families. He meets Tom Hewitt, a charming and wealthy womanizer, who invites him to the opera. That’s when Chris meets Tom’s sister Chloe who–after stealing one or two furtive glances at Chris in the darkness of the theater– develops a crush on him. She’s a bit chatty but sweet and they decide to marry. However Chris finds himself in trouble when he meets Nola, the American actress, who also happens to be Tom’s fiancée.
He can’t help but be drawn to her. They are both outsiders in the sense that they aren’t wealthy and failed to have professional success in their respective fields. And when they embark on an affair Chris finds it more and more difficult to keep track of his lies, resulting in an ending that might shock some audience members.
I just want to mention that this movie isn’t focused on two people trying to make their relationship work, but instead concentrates on the actions of someone who seems to have no moral compass whatsoever. As a character study, it’s great. Meyers plays Chris so well it’s hard to find any fault with his performance. Chris is quiet and respectful when he’s faced with his in-laws, easily giving into Chloe’s desires to have a baby, but at times will also reveal an extremely powerful and magnetic personality especially when he’s with Nola. The way he’s able to shift between these two personalities is completely disturbing and speaks to how sinister this protagonist really is. He’s competitive and plays an aggressive game. A very aggressive game.
Some people might have issues with the A Place in the Sun-esque ending, but I was engrossed all the way through. According to Chris, life is dependent on luck, and boy, is he a lucky guy.
Reminded me of: American Psycho (2000), A Place in the Sun (1951), Vertigo (1958)

Do tomatoes need support to grow?
A tomato plant grows upright, holding its fruit up off the ground.
They often need cages or stakes because the tomatoes get heavy enough to pull limbs or even the entire plant to the ground, potentially snapping the branches or stem in the process.
‘Wild tomatoes’ bear much smaller fruits that are easier to support..
What is the best way to stake tomatoes?
HOW TO STAKE TOMATOESPurchase a tall (6-8 foot), spiral tomato stake or use existing materials around home. … Try to put the stake on the downwind side so the plant will lean into it when the wind blows.Drive the stake into the ground right after transplanting so as not to disturb the roots.More items…
How can you tell if tomatoes are determinate or indeterminate?
How to Distinguish a Determinate from an Indeterminate TomatoThe determinate forms stop their shoot production once flowers form on the ends.Indeterminate tomato varieties will form flowers along the sides of the shoots but they continue to grow until weather conditions are no longer favorable.
What can you not plant with tomatoes?
Plants that should not share space with tomatoes include the Brassicas, such as broccoli and cabbage. Corn is another no-no, and tends to attract tomato fruit worm and/or corn ear worm. Kohlrabi thwarts the growth of tomatoes and planting tomatoes and potatoes increases the chance of potato blight disease.
How tall should a tomato cage be?
Cages should be 14-18 inches in diameter with a height of 4 feet for determinate plants and at least 6 feet for indeterminate. Sturdy cages may be expensive to purchase, but can be constructed by hand using cost-effective livestock fencing or concrete reinforcement wire.
What can I use for tomato stakes?
A tomato cage is probably the most common way to stake tomatoes off the ground. Frequently, people purchase a tomato cage at their local super store or hardware store. These tomato cages are convenient but are rarely adequate support for a full grown tomato plant.
When should you support tomato plants?
Training tomatoes is not difficult, but you have to start when they’re young. Wait no more than a month after transplanting. Tie the stems of your tomato plants to the support structure every 6 or 8 inches as they grow. The growing stems are soft and easily damaged, so you need to tie them loosely.
Is it better to stake or cage tomatoes?
Indeterminate varieties, in our experience, do better with cages because they can reach such heights, but your cage needs to be up to the challenge and offer support at least six feet tall. Of course, you can also use a stake for an indeterminate variety if its tall enough, but that brings me to our next topic…
How can I help my indeterminate tomato plants?
A piece of wire fencing attached to a garden stake makes a strong and simple trellis for individual tomato plants.String trellising. Perhaps the simplest way to vertically support a vine is to tie it to a frame or other support using pieces of string or twine. … Stake and string combination. … Concrete mesh.
How do you make support for tomato plants?
Install wood or rebar stakes at least 6 feet-tall at planting time. As the plants grow, tie the stems loosely to the stakes with twine or strips of fabric.
How do you prune an indeterminate tomato plant?
To properly prune an indeterminate tomato, prune all suckers from the ground level up to the second flower cluster. See diagram 2. Follow the same instructions as for determinate tomatoes. Pruning tomatoes encourages larger fruit production at the top of the plant.
Should you use tomato cages?
Tomato cages allow the plant to grow upwards. The heavy fruiting branches need support, and a bountiful harvest can be ruined with rot or disease if tomatoes are overcrowded, drooping or forming on the ground. Without a cage, the plant can topple over or break completely under its own weight.
What happens if you don’t cage tomatoes?
No-stake tomatoes – without cages or stakes, grow tomato directly on the ground! Growing tomatoes without stakes or cages allows for an abundant harvest: one plant will give you a production equivalent to three staked tomatoes.

Plans to grant permission to build a new M4 relief road near Newport has been criticised as "poor value for money." Sustrans Cymru, who promote sustrainable travel, say the scheme which is expected to be announced by the Chancellor would cost £830million over 15 years.
They said that a "more cost effective way to reduce congestion would be to invest in shifting these journeys to public transport."
They argue that the money should be used to encouraging people to walk, cycle and use public transport to ease congestion.
The new M4 relief road is poor value for money – costing taxpayers more than £55 million each year and following the recent announcement of £8 million in cuts to our bus service.
The Welsh Government acknowledges that 40% of journeys on this stretch of the M4 are local trips of under 20miles.

I’m back from a trip to Poland! It was sort of a mini vacation (or at least I did my best to only work a few hours every day, whenever I happened to have Wi-Fi). The last two weeks has been nothing but wonderful! I just feel so happy and lucky. I truly had the time of my life, together with an awesome bunch of old and new friends (mostly game devs from Paradox and Hazelight). Just before going I threw a housewarming party at my place, celebrating the fact that I finally managed to furnish the place after living here for more than 1,5 years LOL. The party was really nice, and I got a selfie-stick as an “ironic gift”, haha! Of course I made sure to bring the stick on my trip as well. The perfect gift, haha!
Going to Poland was very exciting, the only Eastern European country I visited before is Estonia, so I was very curious about Poland. The country is huge, with a very rich history and culture, but I knew almost nothing about it, besides from the very basics of its unfortunate fate during the World Wars. We flew from Copenhagen to Kraków, which only takes about one hour. My Polish friend Agnieszka was our guide for the trip. The average Polish citizen seems to be better at Russian or German than they are at English, so having her translating everything from menus to cab directions was very helpful. I managed to learn two words in Polish during my stay: Biedronka (Ladybug) and Herbata (tea) : P The language resembles Swedish in some way, but I find the pronunciation extremely difficult.
The architecture in Kraków’s Old Town, where our hostel for the first night was located, was so beautiful and inspiring! Kraków was not destroyed in the war bombings, so most of the city is still preserved. However a lot of the buildings were almost falling apart due to lack of maintenance, covered in ivy and wild flowers. Kraków is a city where many young artists come to live and create, like Kreuzberg in Berlin. Compared to Sweden the food in Poland is crazy cheep, and you almost always get more than you manage to eat, if you go to a restaurant. Beer is usually less expensive than water! I could feel the creative spirit in this city, and the majority of the people I saw on the streets were between 20-30. This place really got my imagination flowing. I could totally move here for a summer to do some sketching and writing < 3 It was like each old house had it’s own story to tell. Walking around in the city filled my brain with so many new ideas.
After sleeping in Kraków for a night we headed towards the mountain village Zakopane, located towards the Slovakian boarder, near the majestic High Tatra Mountains. Zakopane would be our main base for five days as we did hiking and followed different mountain trails. The architecture in Zakopane was also very cool, you could see these houses with pointy ceilings everywhere, looking a bit like the Stave curches in Norway. The houses in Zakopane looked like miniature versions of the mountains surrounding them, with all theirs pointy shapes, floors and balconies.
I got another batch of photos coming from the hike itself, I just need to sort out the best ones. But as you can tell from the bottom image the nature in the High Tatra Mountains is extremely beautiful. I had no idea this could be found in Europe!
