Day 1: Orientation, Walking Tour, Sydey Tower and Darling Hrbour Activities
Arrival: Welcome to Sydney! On arrival you are greeted by your local guide, a "Sydneysider" with an intimate knowledge of Sydney's best-loved sites. She gives you an orientation and you will be transferred to your accommodation.
Historic District Accommodation: Your new hostel is located right in 'The Rocks'—the historic district where Sydney began. All rooms have ensuites and air-conditioning, while the accommodation offers spacious communal areas, internet, coffee bar and large rooftop terrace with spectacular views directly to the Sydney Opera House!
Walking Tour: With your guide you learn about the cultural, historic and natural sites of Sydney as you follow in the steps of colonists and convicts. Tracing cobblestone paths and narrow laneways, you learn where scandals emerged and history happened.
Sydney Tower Eye: Your next stop lets you see the city from above! Standing at 309 metres (1014ft) tall, the Sydney Tower is the highest point in Sydney and has panoramic views stretching from Bondi Beach in the east to the Olympic Park and on a clear day the Blue Mountains in the west.
Darling Harbour: Sydney's most exciting harbour! Here you are free to explore and you can choose to shop at the Harbourside Shopping Centre, see what's fishy at the famous Sydney Aquarium*, encounter Aussie animals at Wildlife World*, be blown away by special effects at the Imax 3-D Cinema theatre* or meet celebrities like Angelina Jolie, cricketer Donald Bradman and Lady Gaga at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum*. Keep your eye out for street performers who are almost always in the area or one of the many festivals and events. (*entry costs apply)
Dinner is a delicious 2-course meal at Darling Harbour.

In a small group you travel all around the spectacular Sydney Harbour to get acquainted with the highlights of Sydney like the Harbour Bridge and the iconic Opera House.
Cultural and Historic Sites: Your friendly captain gives you insight into Sydney's sites as well as stories behind the people and places of this unforgettable city. You cruise by the holiday homes of multi-millionaires and stars such as Nicole Kidman, Bono and Russell Crowe and learn tales of the rich & famous.

Famous Fish Market: A highlight is a seafood lunch at Sydney's famous Fish Market – "where the city meets the sea", and the largest working market of its kind in the southern hemisphere. As one of the most popular places for local Sydneysiders, here you can taste old favourites like fish and chips, or the more adventurous can try fresh-from-the-sea octopus, squid and Oysters Kilpatrick.
Manly Beach and Sydney Harbour National Park: On your cruise you also stop at a little-known secluded spot off Manly's North Head for a secluded swim (weather permitting). You then cruise over to Sydney Harbour National Park and soak in the million dollar cliff side views from The Gap, followed by a refreshment at the picturesque Watsons Bay. This is a perfect day to see the famous and out-of-the-way gems of Sydney's grand Harbour.
Accommodation: Sydney Rocks Budget Accommodation
Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
Day 3: Aboriginal Culture tour, Bondi beach and Optional Surf Lesson
Aboriginal Culture Tour: This morning with an Aboriginal guide you trace a circuit through the area known to the indigenous Gadigal people as Warrane. You weave among historic buildings and narrow laneways to magically discover plants and herbs used by Aboriginal people, like a grass used as a whistle and a sweet tasting honeysuckle treat. As you wander, your guide illustrates the beliefs of her people through the telling of Dreamtime stories and you learn the significance of this land to those living here thousands of years before European settlers. Later in the Discovery Museum, you touch artifacts such as shields and boomerangs and hand woven dilly bags that bring Aboriginal culture to life.
Bondi Beach: Bondi Beach is an Australian icon, world-renowned as one of the most popular beaches in Australia, and the 2000 Summer Olympics volleyball competition was hosted here! Multiple movies and reality shows have been filmed here, including the ever-popular Bondi Rescue. The one-kilometre length beach is perfect for people watching, swimming and every year in November, taking in the famous "Sculptures by the Sea" exhibition.
Optional Surf Lesson: Nothing soaks in the true spirit of Australia like surfing, and here if you wish you can get your feet wet learning how to catch some waves. In a small group of beginners, you start your lesson with ocean hydraulics, tides, rips and surf-related safety skills. Then you learn about proper standing and paddling techniques, surfing etiquette and how even first-time surfers can catch a wave. By the end of the lesson with a little practice, you should be standing and shredding! (surfing lesson is extra cost).
Accommodation: Sydney Rocks Budget Accommodation
Meals Included: Breakfast
Day 4: Guided Trip to The Blue Mountains and Optional Sydney Opera House Performance
Blue Mountains Park: This morning you're up bright and early for a trip into the nearby Blue Mountains – named for the blue tinge the range takes on when viewed from afar. You ascend the mountains for a series of short walks, your guide teaching you about the significance of this UNESCO World-Heritage area. More than 400 different kinds of animals live within the rugged gorges and tablelands of the Greater Blue Mountains. These include threatened or rare species of conservation significance, such as the spotted-tailed quoll, the koala, the yellow-bellied glider, the long-nosed potoroo, and the Blue Mountains water skink.
Optional Skyrail, Cableway Ride & Scenic Rail: Glide between clifftops and gaze at the rainforest canopy through the glass floor of the Scenic Skyway, ride the world's steepest railway track down into the lush Jamison Valley, and view Three Sisters, Orphan Rock and Katoomba Falls from a unique cableway (optional, $35 AUD for all three)
The Three Sisters: A highlight is seeing the Three Sisters – a trio of giant sandstone pillars carved from nature and time that stand like sentinels above the Jamison valley. The kangaroos and wallabies are relaxed and plentiful in the Blue Mountains, enjoying the fertile grazing lands, and your chance of seeing these creatures in the wild is likely. You return to Sydney in the late afternoon.
Optional Sydney Opera House Performance: As a special treat tonight, you can opt to see a live performance in the Opera House – from opera to circus, rock and cabaret – in one of the busiest performing arts venues in the world (extra cost).
Accommodation: Sydney Rocks Budget Accommodation
Meals Included: Breakfast
Day 5: Option Harbour Bridge Climb, Urban Challenge or Luna Park and Depart
After breakfast this morning you have free time for last-minute shopping or souvenir purchases.
Optional Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb: If you like you could plan to depart Sydney in the afternoon and spend your morning taking in views of the entire city atop the Sydney Harbour Bridge with an incomparable bridge climb. Led by a climb leader, you will "hike" to the summit of this world famous bridge, 134 metres (440 feet) above Sydney Harbour. It is a 3 ½ hour journey to the top of the Bridge along catwalks and all the way to the summit, high above Sydney Harbour. The steady incline to the summit leaves you free to focus your attention on your Sydney experience, with opportunities to witness 360 degree views of Sydney, including east to the Sydney Opera House, west to the Blue Mountains and the Harbour city surrounds. When you reach the top you will have a sense of achievement that you will remember forever – you've conquered an Australian icon recognized the world over. (Prices start at $218 AUD).
Urban Challenge: If you have an afternoon flight, you can choose to spend the morning souvenir shopping, or participating in Small World Journeys' Urban Challenge! (no extra cost) The Urban Challenge is a fun team-building exercise that allows students to learn more about the history, art and culture of Sydney. Small group teams compete against time in this treasure hunt-type activity in Sydney's Rocks historic district. This is a popular activity for students and the winning team gets a prize!
Luna Park: Just across the harbour is the iconic face that welcomes visitors to this historic fun park. Rides include the Devil's Drop, the Wild Mouse roller coaster, and DodgeEm City. On the Ferris wheel you can take in amazing harbour views! (park hours are more limited in winter time; please ask us when planning your tour)
Later you are transferred to the Sydney airport for your flight home.

Question 1: How do we arrange airfare?
Answer: We do not arrange airfare in house, however we do work closely with a couple of travel agents who would be happy to help: In Australia, we recommend Kim Salter, our Melbourne-based travel agent. Contact Kim at email@example.com or call + 61 0433 324 455 or toll free within Australia 1 300 640 821. In the US, we recommend: Sandra Marron at Millennium Travel California. You can contact Sandra at email@example.com or call 1-415-898- 7974.
Question 2: What happens when we arrive at the airport?
Answer: You will be met by a Small World Journeys staff member who will give you an orientation and then accompany you to your accommodation.
Question 3: When is the best time to visit Sydney?
Answer: Sydney has a temperate climate. Summer is warm temperatures at 18-25 degrees celsius/64- 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Winters are mild, with average temperatures at 8-16 degrees Celsius/46-60 degrees Fahrenheit. Rainfall is spread throughout the year.
Question 4: What happens if a student cancels?
Answer: If an individual student cancels from a trip within 30 days of the trip departure, no refunds are given. For this reason, we strongly encourage all parents to purchase trip cancellation insurance in order to protect against unforeseen circumstances which are the main cause for student cancellations. For more details, please see our Terms & Conditions.
Question 5: What is your safety record?
Answer: Our safety record is outstanding. Please ask us for teacher/supervisor references specifically regarding our safety measures and practices. We do risk assessments for every excursion we run. We carry a first aid kit in our vehicles, as well as on the guide's person when in remote areas. All guides are certified in first aid and CPR. We give every student a card with emergency numbers and safety information on it to carry, and we review safety measures as part of our orientation. Safety is absolutely our number one concern at all times. We do everything in our power to make sure each trip is as safe as it can possibly be.
Question 6: Do you do risk assessments?
Answer: Yes. We evaluate and re-evaluate the safety of each of our destinations and activities, and we always reserve the right to modify or cancel an itinerary if the guide feels that conditions are unsafe. We will gladly provide a risk management assessment specific to your trip on request. Small World Journeys' staff also adhere to a comprehensive Risk Management Strategy.
Question 7: Why should we purchase travel insurance?
Answer: We strongly recommend the purchase of travel insurance for your protection. Should a participant need to cancel their trip for any reason, our cancellation policy applies. However, travel insurance protects any loss they may experience should s/he or an immediate family member become ill or sustain an injury that prevents them from going on the trip.
Question 8: What makes Small World Journeys "eco-friendly"?
Answer: An eco tour, in our opinion, is a trip in which everyone benefits: the community, the environment, you and us. Simply by joining one of our trips, you will be supporting carbon offsetting, Rainforest Rescue's Adopt-A-Square initiative, aboriginal cultural ventures and locally-owned businesses who are working towards a more sustainable future in tourism. As our guest, you are supporting us as well. Thank you! For more information, see 10 Reasons Why We're Eco.
Question 9: How does Small World Journeys incorporate our educational objectives?
Answer: We work directly with the teacher organiser or group leader to understand the goals of the trip. Then we suggest activities and learning opportunities to match these objectives. For example, a group may be interested in learning more about marine biology. In this case we will facilitate some fun classroom time dedicated to marine science in Cairns, then a couple of days at the Great Barrier Reef with our marine biologist guide. We can include such things as waterproof fish and coral ID cards for each student, and mini-lectures after snorkel time. A SCUBA certification course may also be appropriate. Alternatively, we might suggest a few days at an island research station, during which students have classroom and snorkel time, as well as a service project monitoring coral bleaching on the reef. Whether it is marine science, aboriginal culture, rainforest ecology or another topic, we will work with each group to ensure an educational yet fun experience for all.
Question 10: What kind of insurance do you have in place?
Answer: Small World Journeys has public liability insurance up to $20,000,000 and is required for us to maintain our commercial permits for the national parks.

Beneath and beside the city's icons and modern buildings exist trees, plants, ochres, special rocks and stories important to the Gadigal people. On a leisurely "walkabout", students learn about the spiritual connection the Gadigal people have with Sydney's land and water.
Sydney Urban Challenge: This is activity is designed to teach students more about Sydney's colonial and Aboriginal history whilst encouraging them to work as a team. Taking place entirely in the historic Rocks district, this urban challenge leads students through backstreets and alleyways, among statues and artifacts, discovering clues about Sydney's past up through the 20th century.

Grr...again with the cute food-themed creatures...no offense meant; it's just that there are so many animal-food crosses and all of them are awesome, adorable or both and my imagination goes in all sorts of directions. Now I'm starting to wonder if I could work out a "Guardians of Good Taste" story with animals of various species whose job it is to protect the foods we all love and are themed after said foods. No plagarism is intended...especially since I'm still not sure where to start.

Origin: [OF. creste, F. crte, L. crista.]
CREST is the Central Securities Depository for Guernsey, Jersey, Ireland, Isle of Man and U.K. equities and UK gilts, named after its securities settlement system, CREST. CREST allows shareholders and bondholders to hold assets in a dematerialised, i.e. electronic form, rather than holding physical share certificates. CREST also serves a number of other important functions, such as assisting in the payments of dividends to shareholders. It is also an "Electronic Trade Confirmation System". When parties to a transaction make a deal, they both electronically confirm their sides of the transaction via file transfer. Both parties are required to submit confirmation details to CREST. In the event that transaction details do not match, CREST will highlight the issues and ensure that the problems are resolved as soon as is practicable. Given that stamp duty is only payable on physical share certificates, there is no stamp duty payable on shares settled via CREST. There is, however, stamp duty reserve tax. This is collected by CREST on behalf of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms
A terrain feature of such altitude that it restricts fire or observation in an area beyond, resulting in dead space, or limiting the minimum elevation, or both.

To bleed a radiator you will usually require an appropriate tool, namely a flat headed screwdriver, a "bleed key" or a spanner. Bleed keys (vent keys) are not included as standard but can be purchased from a plumbers' merchant or home improvement store.
Bleeding a radiator is a simple process:
1. Ensure both valves at the bottom of the radiator are open;
2. Get a bleed key (vent key), screwdriver or spanner ready to open the bleed valve (air vent) at the top of the radiator. Have a rag or cloth ready to catch minor drips;
3. Use the tool to open the air vent and release the air holding the cloth underneath;
4. Listen for the change in sound; you will hear a hissing noise at first, which is the sound of air escaping. Vent the radiator until the sound changes and you get a steady stream of water. At this point you can retighten the air vent using the tool.
5. Once you have bled the radiator, turn the heating back on and leave the system to flow for half an hour.
Please note: On first filling a system, it is air that is vented from a radiator. However, from then on the periodic venting required is actually releasing hydrogen that is the by-product of rusting in the system. If regular bleeding is continually required, then this is a strong indication that the system requires draining, cleaning and refilling incorporating a corrosion inhibitor to prevent further rust in accordance with BS5449 section five commissioning. Alternatively, if regular bleeding is required then this could indicate a leak that is letting air enter the system.
Alternatively modern radiators do sometimes come with "automatic bleed vents" which release air from a radiator whenever necessary, meaning that you do not need to bleed the radiator manually. These are great for convenience, however there are instances of automatic bleed vents causing damage to a radiator as regular venting can mean regular water seepage which can lead to corrosion.
For more advice on maintaining your radiators, contact a radiator specialist such as Feature Radiators; their expert team can provide technical help on a variety of radiator related subjects. Contact them on 01274 567789, view their website http://www.featureradiators.co.uk or visit them in person at their showroom at Bingley Railway Station, Wellington Street, Bingley, West Yorkshire.

Mansion tax could affect twice as many homes as expected
The mansion tax proposals from Labour and the Liberal Democrats will hit double the number of homes than previously expected, according to new research from Knight Frank. The property consultant said that house-price inflation in central London meant that properties that were valued at £1.2m in 2009 would now be in the scope of the proposed tax. Nearly 70 per cent of the properties valued at more than £2m are located in London. Knight Frank explained that if the £2m threshold mooted in 2009 had increased in line with house-price inflation, it would now be at £2.8m. In the most expensive areas of London, such as Kensington & Chelsea, the threshold would have to be raised to £3.2m to cover the same number of properties.
Knight Frank's report follows comments from Ed Balls, the shadow chancellor, who stated that the threshold should rise in line with average rises in house prices to ensure more modest properties are not brought into the scope of the tax. Mr Balls also hinted that Labour would seek to protect people on modest incomes whose properties have soared in value as part of a general spike in prices in the area they live. He said: 'Labour will only support a mansion tax that is fair to those who are asset rich but cash poor. We will look at a relief scheme or allowing those on modest incomes to defer payment until the property is sold.' …

text: What I meant was synecdoche. I'm big on the part for whole idea. Not necessarily photographing the stereotypical "all hands on deck" but what if, rather than shooting something/someone, focus closely on one feature or part that is very expressive. I tried this once with Disney Hall, and rather than just shooting the building as a whole, I got really close to a specific curve of the building. The results can be great, because every image becomes a study in line/form. How does the clarified idea float, Tim?

Video: Swarm of mini-choppers assists police in Japan
Four quadrocopters autonomously scan for "survivors" at the site of a simulated chemical explosion
By PoliceOne Staff
Mini choppers that assisted in an emergency drill conducted by Japanese police may find themselves a more permanent place on the force after the experiment's success.
In a video of the drill, four quadrocopters developed at Chiba University autonomously scan for "survivors" at the site of a simulated chemical explosion. In order to work, the machines rely on image processing and mathematical calculations from a host computer.
Local police want to introduce the quadrocopters for reconnaissance, which could include monitoring explosions or keeping an eye on power lines, according to a report.
Researchers reportedly said the exercise went "very well."

Here is a brilliant idea for the Pinterest age.
I don't know about you, but I am routinely inundated with ideas for tempting do-it-yourself projects. Let's just take a quick peek at my Pinterest page. Yep, there's a project to turn a small toddler T-shirt into a dress, to turn an old dresser into a "signature" piece of furniture, to turn old furniture into garden ornaments, or turn chipped teacups into bird feeders.

Large trove of art taken by Nazis recovered
Wonderful works of art secreted away by the Nazis as "degenerate" keep turning up "like bottles washed ashore," writes Micheal Kimmelman for The New York Times this morning, reporting on the latest trove of works discovered and unveiled in Augsburg, Germany, Tuesday.
About 1,500 pictures, a particularly large stash, were discovered in the Munich apartment of an old man whose father was a dealer in the Nazi era. From the initial reports and some blurry online reproductions, the collection appears to include works by Matisse, Courbet, Franz Marc, Max Liebermann, Marc Chagall, Max Beckmann and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. »Read Full Blog Post(2)
Reading the John Updike stories: 'Snowing in Greenwich Village'
The Library of America recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories,' a two-volume boxed set of 186 stories arranged in chronological order. I'm reading one or more a week and commenting on them each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
In "Snowing in Greenwich Village," John Updike introduces Richard and Joan Maple, a young married couple whose love, struggle, infidelity and divorce he will chronicle through a series of stories until they become grandparents. Published in 1956 in The New Yorker, "Snowing in Greenwich Village" is the only Maples story published in this collection; the Library of America is holding the others back for a future book. »Read Full Blog Post

In the final quarter of the ECHL's regular season, the Alaska Aces lead the race for the Brabham Cup, which assures the winner home-ice advantage throughout the Kelly Cup playoffs. Three of the current top five teams on the 23-team circuit come from the Western Conference, and here's how they stand:
Team Record Points Games Left
Alaska Aces 38-11-6 82 17
Ontario Reign 36-13-5 77 18
Reading Royals 35-14-6 76 17
Idaho Steelheads 34-15-5 73 18
Cincinnati Cyclones 31-17-6 68 18
In the Alaska Aces' nine previous ECHL seasons, they are the only club to win the Brabham Cup, earned by the hockey league's regular-season champion, more than once.
The Aces have won the Brabham three times (2012, 2011 and 2006) and are leading the chase for a third consecutive title as teams enter the final quarter of the 72-game regular season. They are the only franchise in the ECHL's previous 24 seasons to win consecutive Brabham Cups and also the only club to win the Brabham three times.
The Brabham is meaningful on several fronts. The winner earns home-ice advantage throughout the Kelly Cup playoffs, the trophy is a nice reward for the winning franchise, which gets to hang a banner from the rafters, and the Cup-winning players split $4,150.
Alaska owns a five-point lead on Ontario atop the overall standings and has 17 games remaining to Ontario's 18. Only three other teams -- the Reading Royals. Idaho Steelheads and Cincinnati Cyclones -- are within 14 points of the Aces.
The three times the Aces won the Brabham have all come down to the wire -- they won it on the penultimate night of the regular season last year and in 2006, and in 2011 won it on the final night of the regular season.
Only four times in ECHL history has the winner of the Brabham Cup gone on to lift the Kelly Cup. The Aces did it twice, though -- in 2011 and 2006.

Australia: Employee Alters Traffic Camera Ticket Data
Traffic camera employee caught changing the speed reading on 67,541 tickets in Victoria, Australia.
The employee of a photo enforcement firm was arrested in Victoria, Australia yesterday after being accused of adjusting the speed readings in a database of photo tickets. Police believe the man identified as a 36-year-old from Craigieburn changed the date, time, speeds and other variables on a total of 67,541 red light camera and speed camera citations. The data were altered between February and March while the man worked for Serco, the private firm in charge of ticketing operations.
"The data changes have had no impact on any infringement issued in relation to the speed or red light camera system," a police news release claimed. "No infringements have been issued to motorists with incorrect data and there is no ongoing impact to any infringements to be issued."
Victoria police have a history of insisting all of its tickets are accurate, regardless of problems uncovered with hardware. Last year, cameras run by Redflex Traffic Systems were
found to have faulty speed calculation mechanism
, but officials only conceded that nine tickets out of the 68,000 issued were bogus. Similarly, in 2003 police insisted speed cameras on the Hume Highway were accurate until extreme public pressure
forced the refund
of $26 million in tickets.
In this case, the police E-Crime Squad began investigating after the contractor noticed changes had been made to the database records.
National Motorists Association
Executive Director Gary Biller believes this sort of problem is to be expected from a system that dispense tickets without human intervention.
"Stories of hackers accessing and tampering with stored data in red-light and speed cameras are not unique to Victoria," Biller told TheNewspaper. "This latest incident does highlight the problem of trying to track crime by database, which is an apt description of photo enforcement. Can a defendant's rights truly be protected without the ability to question in court a live witness to the alleged crime?"
Just such a mistake saw Harmony Henke, 29, falsely arrested in Maroochydore, Queensland on February 25. Henke had received a speed camera ticket for allegedly driving 72km/h (44 MPH) in a 60km/h (37 MPH) zone, but the penalty and points were canceled after she explained that she became sick behind the wheel while pregnant. She received another speed camera ticket in the mail in August, but she had not been behind the wheel. A friend accepted responsibility and Henke's record should have been cleared -- but it was not. She was pulled over on October 31 for driving on a suspended license after a database failed to reflect that her license points had been canceled, the
News Mail
reported. In February, Henke was stopped again but this time she and her six-month-old baby were processed through the jail. She was cleared only after Queensland Transport supplied a letter confirming that her driving record was clean.

The simple, off-the-grid thatched palapa seems to exhale with a breezy, unbothered joviality; bring your camera: the vistas of jungle and endless sea make you feel as if you're at the edge of the world. Managers Rosa and Tomeu make you feel like regulars. More creative than the standard fish in coconut sauce, there's calamari in its own ink, seafood paella, grilled spiny lobster, or a stir-fry with squid or conch. Vegetarians are well-accommodated, too. Interestingly, you have to call in advance if you want fresh fish or lobster. Remote, it's a rough ride up coastal dirt roads, but Calle La Caleta is not as bad as it used to be and is now accessible with regular vehicles without the need for 4x4s. There is a pickup service at night, which we advise. Actually, you could stay overnight, as there are several cabanas (starting at $30) and a completely renovated tree house.

Other objectives were to motivate the interaction between scientists and the community through technology transfer, and to collect scientific data necessary for maintenance and management of the culture system. Pen construction took place from October 2000 -January 2001. The pen was located in the intertidal area and measured 800 m2.
