Sydney has a huge amount of attractions, but I had not heard too many people heralding it as a must-do attraction in Sydney. That led me to have relatively low expectations for the Sea Life Sydney Aquarium. |
The aquarium is one of the trio of attractions huddled together in Darling Harbour, alongside the Wildlife Sydney Zoo and Madame Tussauds. You can purchase tickets for all three on the one ticket, for about $65. We enjoyed all three attractions, and I would probably recommend you either do all three in one day, or no... |
Worryingly, this deep sea diver has no arms |
As mentioned on previous reviews of the aforementioned attractions, this part of Darling Harbour can get very busy. On the day we went, the aquarium was just moderately busy, and not busy enough to cause any issues. It is a decent size inside. You could probably walk around in about half an hour if you didn't stop t... |
A much more attractive option is to spend about 2 or 3 hours, and actually stop to look at some of the displays. It has about 7 or 8 different sections, which all represent different areas or types of animal. There are lots of interesting things like seahorses, stingrays, jellyfish, dugongs and of course, fish. Bein... |
The highlight for most people will probably be the shark tunnel. It's a good display, with a good range of sharks, including some pretty big ones. You can walk through and watch their cold, dead eyes picturing you on the other side of the glass. When you see them in aquariums, I think they look pretty harmless actua... |
As with most aquariums, there are various activities you can do. There is a glass bottomed boat, snorkeling in the shark tank - yes, I said in the shark tank - and for the real hardcore, you can go for the full diving with sharks experience. We never tried any of these so can't comment too much. I have done a shark ... |
A big crab |
Overall, it's not the best aquarium in the world, but it is a very good aquarium. As mentioned above, I would do it along with Wildlife Sydney Zoo and Madame Tussauds if I was going to do it. As with the other two, I don't think they are must see attractions in Sydney. There are many more spectacular and unique thin... |
If you've done any of the experiences, or just want to start a conversation about dugongs, please leave a comment below. |

1. Thank you for these! I wanted to know if I can do the 3 at 1 go since they are just side by side. I have a 12yrs, 9 yrs and 2yrs. I guess 1.5hrs suffice? |
Star Wars: Kiittämättömät |
To Be Announced |
3rd Session |
While the Group discussed their options, a new threat appeared: Gizza the Hutt was being sought out by their nemesis, STEVE the Hutt. As suspicious people with STEVE's symbols searched around the station, Gizza decided to stay on the Golden Gambit while the rest of the group headed out to find Motti, the duros bounty h... |
Heading to the lower decks, the group realized how huge a task they were facing. But with a bit of luck, wits and sensuous interfacing, the group sliced the station's power network and found out an anomalous power leech from a water reservoir deep in the station. Spix arranged for a routine maintenance cycle to provide... |
Eventually they came across the reservoir, a huge, water-filled tank with a campfire set in the middle. Gristvuuk and Ch'kajul attempted to infiltrate the camp via hanging power lines while the rest blocked the exits. The plan was good, but the execution was lacking. Only Gristvuuk managed to climb to the campsite, but... |
After a quick interrogation, the Group found out that the reason for Motti's bounty was their theft of the rancor, and he knew that the Black Sun Vigo had apparently gotten rid of Emja some time ago. The Group decided to offer the bounty hunter and their pet a way off the station in exchange of information about the Bl... |
Back at the Golden Gambit the Group discussed their options. As the incoming Sabacc tournament's main prize would be a service from one of the major factions in the station, it would be a good way to get information about Emja. Then again, Kur'je, the bothan information broker, apparently had their own relevant images ... |
But to get their own buy-in, they would need 5000 credits. Korben had a solution for that: He was aware that a noble family that he intensely disliked was selling goods to the Empire. The Group decided to acquire tools that they could use to steal the goods mid-transfer and implicate the family… |

How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes |
First of all, congratulations to STEPHANIE the winner of the giveaway! I've already contacted her and will be sending her stuff soon!! I love having giveaways and can't wait to have some more. And it allowed me to meet some more people, so HELLO new followers! Thank you, thank you, thank you, guys! |
Now.. onto more serious things: cleaning your makeup brushes! |
Washing your brushes should be a regular part of your routine. Every time you use your brushes you're picking up more oil, bacteria, dirt, and of course makeup. The longer you go between cleaning your brushes, the longer all that 'yuck' is breeding in the bristles. Skipping this step can lead to clogged pores and break... |
Ideally you should do a quick cleaning every day with something like Sephora's Daily Brush Cleaner. Just a quick spritz after each use usually does the job; however, I know this isn't always practical. The most important thing is the deep cleaning. They say you should do this weekly, but I find that it starts to cause ... |
I tried a couple different things to clean mine and ended up coming up with my own unique method. I first tried using a shallow bowl full of water but I got really tired of constantly dumping the water, and I went through tons of brush shampoo that way. I eventually quit buying the expensive brush cleaners and this is ... |
You'll Need: |
- A plate |
- A mild dish detergent like Dawn or Baby Shampoo |
- A sink |
- A towel rack |
- Hair bands |
(the last 2 are for drying.. you'll see!) |
Step 1: Apply a nickle size (or less depending on the brush) drop of cleaner on a plate |
Step 2: Wet your brush, the bristles only, with lukewarm water. Try not to get too much water into the ferrule (the metal part that holds the bristles and the handle together) |
Step 3: Swirl your wet brush around in the dish soap/baby shampoo. Make sure you get the cleaner all in the brushes and swirl it all around on the plate. (This is why I like to use a plate because its easier to use without having to dip your entire brush in water) You'll see makeup on the plate until the brush is compl... |
Step 4: Rinse your brush of all the excess makeup with lukewarm water |
Step 5: Rinse all the makeup off your plate. |
Step 6: REPEAT! |
* You will more than likely still have makeup and soap in your brush. So I like to swirl a couple more times, rinse, and then add a tiny amount of soap and do it all over again. I would say it takes about 3-4 swirl/rinse cycles until most of the makeup is gone. Of course, it depends on how dirty and how big your brush ... |
Now is the fun part... Drying! I'd like to think I came up with this idea on my own, but I didn't. I found it on Pinterest. (Speaking of that.. are you following me on Pinterest yet?! Click here!) |
Genius, right?! Its really important to dry your makeup brushes upside down because it keeps water from pooling in the ferrule. Like I said above, the ferrule is the metal part that holds the brush-end and the handle together. There is glue in the ferrule that binds everything together, and if you allow water to get in... |
Grab a couple hair bands, take the towel off your towel bar, and loop your brushes through the band! As you can see I grouped smaller brushes together. I was so excited to find this method and hopefully you'll find it as useful as I did! |
Keep in mind, they do make actual brush shampoos and cleansers, so you could always use one of those instead of the dish soap or baby shampoo.. I just like the cheaper option! |
Have a great day everyone, I hope this was helpful! |

Swedish Police Chief: Stockholm suburb like a WAR ZONE |
(Foto: Swedish police at work in Rinkeby, Stockholm, an area dominated by armed Islamic groups) |
War like situation is moving closer to the center of Sweden’s capital. |
Lise Tamm, head of Sweden’s national unit against organized crime, remarked in an interview to Swedish radio that the situation in the Stockholm suburb of Rinkeby is so serious, that it can be compared with a war zone. She added: |
“When the police work there, they operate like how the military would operate.” |

Tamm compared the situation in the capital’s suburbs to the conflicts in Colombia and El Salvador, and thinks their conflicts with guerrillas could bring ideas for handling the growing problems capital’s outskirts: |
“How did they do it in Colombia with deporting the Farc guerrillas, how did they do it in El Salvador when the war ended? How have they done it in other parts of the world where they have had such great problems for many, many years? Is there any solution? You have to think outside the box,” said Lise Tamm according to... |
Sweden has received a lot of international attention since President Donald Trump pointed out the problems the country faces after letting in large amounts of Muslim migrants, refugees and family reunifications. |

Find gravitation on Mard and the Earth |
1. Nov 10, 2008 #1 |
Mars Data: |
Radius = .53 * Earth's Radius |
Mass = .11 * Earth's Mass |
Find the acceleration due to gravity on Mars in terms of g, the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. |
2. Relevant equations |
g=Gm / r2 |
3. The attempt at a solution |
gm= G(.11 ME) / .53rE2 |
gE = GmE / rE2 |
9.8 m/s2= GmE / rE2 |
gM=[G(.11 ME) / r2] / [GmE / rE2] * 9.8 |
gM= .11/.53 * 9.8 |
gM=2.034 m/s2 |
I'm not sure if this is right though. |

Hi DollarBill! :smile: |
Do you mean that, or have you written it wrong? |

Re: Gravitation |
Forgot the parenthesis... |
gM= G(.11 ME) / (.53 rE)2. |

Re: Gravitation |
Ok now I see what I did. Forgot to square the .53 :blushing: |
gM=3.8 m/s2 |

With interest rates at historic lows, and little room to go down further, why are there no new retail bonds on the horizon? Surely a number of issuers must want to refinance/extend their debt at these levels, and others join the fray, if only for opportunistic reasons. Whilst there is nothing out there, surely this is ... |
• I seem to remember reading that the costs and complexity of issuing new retail bonds were increased significantly by George reason why there has been so little activity last couple of years. |
If true, maybe time for a campaign to ask the new Chancellor/Pensions Sec. to amend these rules back to ease retail bonds issue costs, so retail investors get a chance of a few new issues. Did I remember correctly Oliver, or/and is there some other reason why there is a lack of new retail-size issues ? |
• Don't hold your breath for any relaxation in regulation. The EU are currently consulting on a replacement for the Prospectus Directive and their proposals don't seem to offer anything to improve the situation for retail investors in issues of a size likely to be of interest. |
BTW its a little unfair to put the blame for the current position on poor old George - look instead at the EU Commission. |
