Stand-Up Paddleboarding
Be one of the first to experience our new activity - Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP). Experienced paddleboarders can paddle in stunning Antarctic landscapes while penguins and seals swim alongside; spot birds perched on the rocky, jagged cliffs in Scotland; or paddle past icebergs whilst scanning the horizon for wildlife in Greenland.
If you want to try stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, you can paddle in protected bays, over coral reefs in warmer waters on our Costa Rica and The Panama Canal expedition. More experienced paddlers can enjoy the larger waves on beaches.
This activity will be offered on select Antarctic, Arctic and Scotland voyages, as well as our new Costa Rica and The Panama Canal expedition.
What's Involved?
We offer small, guided, intimate groups a chance to take SUP paddling to the next level. In the polar regions we supply dry suits and cold-water equipment along with high quality and stable boards. Weather permitting, we will offer daily outings with a support Zodiac. We provide waterproof day packs to carry our cameras and spare clothing to make the most of our excursions above the water and on shore.
Each group of 3 to 9 paddlers generally visit the same wildlife sites as our fellow expeditioners. However, our smaller craft (SUP) and manoeuvrability often means that we also have the opportunity to access areas that are often not accessible by Zodiacs. We will also make time to do some shore landings with the rest of the group (without exceeding IAATO and Costa Rica Park regulations of 100 people ashore at any one time).
When we visit The Poles, weather elements play an important role. It is vital that you have an adventurous attitude and understand that our paddling will be affected by the weather that we will experience.
To join our SUP adventure paddling it's best to book ahead of your departure. We do require previous experience on polar trips, but on our warm water adventures, beginners are welcome. On board sign-ups are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Even if your experience is limited, we would encourage you to call us to discuss your suitability. There is often ample time to gain the required experience before you depart. Paddlers should be aged 16 or over.
Equipment Included
- SUP board, leash & paddle
- Neoprene boots (polar regions and cold water)
- Safety gear
- A dry bag
- PFD (Life jacket)
- Dry suits (polar regions and cold water)
- Insulated gloves (polar regions and cold water)
Our Guides
Our guides have many years of stand-up paddleboarding experience in the destinations we visit. The paddleboarding guide will lead the group on each excursion, explaining facts about the wildlife and other highlights we paddle across.
How to Book
Simply inform our Expedition Experts at time of booking that you would like to include the optional stand-up paddleboarding activity for your expedition. For safety reasons, we limit our group size to a maximum of only nine paddleboarders per voyage, so we recommend reserving your place early.

Hokulani K. Aikau's book, A Chosen People, A Promised Land, published in 2012, is an important work on Mormonism in the Pacific, addressing the colonial legacy of the church and its racial ideologies. Back in 2013 here on this blog, Aikau's work was listed as an important work in Mormon history and the history of indigenous peoples. But the Juvenile Instructor blog has never had a full review of Aikau's book published. In order to fix this error, this post includes a portion of my review of Aikau's book that was just published in the most recent issue of the Journal of Mormon History.
A stable link to the rest of the review is included at the end of this post. If you are interested in subscribing to the Journal of Mormon History, you can find more details on the Mormon History Association website.
Hokulani K. Aikau's A Chosen People, A Promised Land: Mormonism and Race in Hawai'i analyzes how Native Hawaiians have negotiated their Hawaiian and Mormon identities, found meaning in this colonial religious tradition, and also used this religious institution to meet their cultural needs. Aikau skillfully shows how native Polynesian Latter-day Saints have found strength and meaning in the belief that they are a chosen people, and have used this position to meet their needs in times of conflict with the Church hierarchy. The author focuses on the town of La'ie, O'ahu, and its history as a place of gathering. By looking at the development of this Mormon community, Aikau is able to explore the tensions and negotiations between an American religion and its Polynesian members. Land was central for both the institutional needs of the Church, and cultural needs and desires of the Hawaiian members. The Church used an "ideology of faithfulness" to maintain power and silence dissent, which Aikau defines as a "way to leverage faith in order to solicit community consent to church projects, even when they are in the interests of the church and not the community" (2). The economic and business interests of the Church pushed out the desires of Native Hawaiians, but Aikau demonstrates how Hawaiians worked within the system to perpetuate traditional practices and cultural regeneration.
The book explains the historical circumstances that led to Hawaiians being viewed as a chosen people. In a time when the Church was solidifying its racial hierarchies and saw black skin as a mark of sin, Polynesians were instead marked as chosen. They were a part of the House of Israel, and needed to be saved and their culture preserved. Despite this designation as a chosen people, Church leaders placed Polynesians on the racial hierarchy below whites. Mission leaders selected La'ie as a promised land in the 1860s to serve as a gathering place for Native Hawaiians and provide a refuge. But it was also a place to domesticate the native population, and provide important revenue for the mission. La'ie became a colonial outpost of Salt Lake City, using natives as laborers. Despite the colonial nature of La'ie, Aikau shows how Native Hawaiians used the town as a way to reconnect with the land and return to native living practices. Two competing meanings of land—land as source of nourishment and land as commodity—are traced throughout the rest of the book.
Aikau traces the changing geography of La'ie, which demonstrates how the interests of Hawaiian Church members were marginalized as the economic needs of the plantation, and later the business ventures of the Church, increased. The author focuses on the construction of the Church College of Hawai'i and the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) by labor missionaries in the 1950s and 1960s. The Church and the missionaries saw this as an exchange, where the laborers had opportunities opened to them by learning construction skills and strengthening their religious connections, and the Church received cheap labor. But this exchange was not entirely equal. It continued to reproduce power relationships with the racial and gendered assumptions of the program leaders.
Aikau's excellent chapter on the PCC places this center in the larger context of the tourist industry. The author shifts the focus of the scholarship to the production side of the industry. With her analysis of interviews of workers from the early days of the center (1960s–1980s), she shows how the workers challenge a binary thinking about culture. Boundaries are blurred between the division of the sacred and the profane. Though the tourist industry, including the PCC, relies on racial tropes of the "happy Native," to workers their performances were about more than just selling race. Workers saw it as a place to gain cultural capital, and used the center for cultural education and to learn from previous generations. Though faith was a part of the worker's experience, Aikau explains how Church leaders continued to use an ideology of faithfulness to convince the community of La'ie to give freely of their labor to this capitalistic project. Only the performative elements of Polynesian cultures were preserved, those that would be appealing to tourists, often devoid of cultural meaning.

Cold Atoms Meet Condensed Matter
The last couple of years have witnessed an exciting development: clouds of ultracold atoms have been structured by optical lattices or by magnetic traps generated e.g. in micro-chips to form solid-state-type systems and nanostructures. The resulting confined cold atom configurations exhibit interesting novel behaviour like strong correlation effects or the controlled generation of entangled states. They have attracted a lot of interest on the theoretical and experimental side, both in the condensed-matter and atomic physics communities. A number of recent proposals have considered combinations of cold atoms or ion-trap configurations with solid state devices like single electron Cooper-pair boxes or with nanomechanical resonators. Active cooling techniques adopted from Laser-cooling may be possible for nanostructures. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from the atomic physics and condensed-matter communities to discuss the latest progress in this area.
Deadline for applications is December 31, 2005

As a member of the TOS Crew, I was given the opportunity to review Math Made Easy's Multiplication Teaching and Learning Made Easy. Recommended primarily for 3rd and 4th graders (although certainly beneficial to older children who need to be drilled in multiplication facts), this program consists of lesson plans, a pretest, six weeks of daily activity sheets, a post test, multiplication games, and flash cards, all contained within a modestly sized comb bound book.
Some homeschooled kids, though, especially those who don't really have an affinity for math do not respond well to the worksheet approach. Granted, this program includes coloring activities, too, but it still remains basically just a worksheet drill-n-kill. It is probably for this reason that my 2nd grade twins (my only children who did not know their facts when we got this program) didn't respond to it very well. We spent several weeks using this program exclusively, but then began to use another, interactive, program and their retention of facts increased dramatically. It is possible that they
What this program does differently than other worksheet-based approaches is to begin with the premise of eliminating certain facts right off the bat (zeros, ones, tens, elevens - all the easy ones), and then teaching the others in pairs (i.e., 3x2 is the same as 2x3). The author posits this as a new and different way to teach multiplication. My main problem is that I don't think it is new. This is the way I learned multiplication 30 years ago, and it is the way I taught the facts to my two older children.
Perhaps for parents who are even less math-able than I, this approach will seem novel enough to justify the $24.95 price tag, but for my money, there are many less expensive ways to teach the facts. Just because Math Made Easy was not the right fit for our family does not mean that it is not perfect for yours! To see other Crewbies' experiences with this program, be sure to read the Crew blog.
Disclaimer: I received Multiplication Teaching and Learning Made Easy free in exchange for my review. I received no other compensation.

Large Group of Aggies Press for Swift TPP Passage
It may not be a consensus on the importance of the Trans Pacific Partnership to agriculture but it's the next best thing.
A group of 225 food and agriculture companies and associations said in a letter to congressional leaders Monday that swift passage of the TPP is critical to the industry.
The list includes a who's who of national agricultural groups as well as state-level groups, representing nearly all sectors of the agriculture economy, from the National Cattlemen's beef Association, to the American Farm Bureau Federation, to Hormel Foods, to the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, and nearly everyone in between.
The letter was sent to House Speaker Paul Ryan, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid.
"The TPP is critical to the livelihood of the U.S. food and agriculture sector because it will create conditions that encourage economic growth and increased employment in rural areas and throughout the supply chain," the letter said.
"Exports are fundamental to the success of the agricultural industry because 95% of the world's consumers live outside of the United States and 20% of U.S. farm income is from exports."
According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, TPP will boost annual net farm income in the United States by $4.4 billion. USDA estimates that every $1 billion of U.S. agricultural exports in 2014 provided about 7,550 American jobs throughout the economy.
According to USDA, U.S. food and agricultural exports reached a record $150 billion in 2014, supporting 1.1 million full-time civilian jobs, including 808,000 jobs in the non-farm sector. The agricultural export surplus helped to offset some of the non-agricultural trade deficit.
"While some tariffs remain, the overall TPP agreement successfully tears down many tariff and non-tariff trade barriers that currently hinder U.S. competitiveness, and prevent us from meeting consumer demand for high-quality U.S. food and agricultural products throughout the Asia-Pacific region," the letter said.
The group said the TPP would remove trade barriers with Asia–Pacific countries and allow better access to U.S. agricultural products.
"If we do not lead, we will simply fall behind as our competitors aggressively work to establish alternative trade agreements that place their agricultural interests at an advantage," the groups said in the letter.
The groups said that with net farm income at its lowest level since 2002, the costs of "inaction are too high" to ignore.
"The TPP presents a valuable opportunity for U.S. agriculture; one that we cannot afford to miss. TPP is important for the future of rural America, and we urge passage of TPP during this session of Congress," the groups said.
National Cattlemen's Beef Association President Tracy Brunner said in a news release cattle producers could not wait any longer to "level the playing field."
"Japan is our largest export market and our Japanese customers demand high quality U.S. beef," Brunner said. "However, due to the Australia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement, U.S. beef faces a tariff that is 11% higher than Australian beef -- our leading competitor.
"That tax alone makes our beef less competitive and gives Australia's beef producers a significant advantage that has allowed them to capture over $100 million in additional beef sales at the expense of U.S. producers."
With the implementation of the Australia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement in early 2015, according to a NCBA news release, the tariff rate on Australian beef exports to Japan immediately dropped from 38.5% to 28.5%.
"On April 1, 2016, that tariff again dropped to 27.5% and will continue to decrease every April until the tariff rate hits 19% in 2031," NCBA said.

SEE relation to Hepatitus C
Be aware that media WILL NOT SHARE this information with the public
By Christopher A. Brown 9/25/02
The crisis was first noted in 1999 by observation of Cold Springs creek in Santa Barbara California. Colds Springs creek begins at a spring at approximately 1800 foot elevation. Local aquifers provide additional water from annual rainfall.
Historically in the late spring algae appeared on the bottom and surface of the creek in any pool or stretch having even minimal sunlight. By mid summer many pools were completely covered. The algae on the surface typically had many insects trapped in the fibrous and bubbled exposed organism.
Following heavy floods such as 1995 and 1998, the creek is scrubbed clean of algae. The algae quickly returns every year. When heavy rainfall is absent, the accumulations made the algae's' very dense. Frog populations became thick and insects of all types were present in the riparian area. Frogs and insects lay their eggs in the algae and are dependent upon it for spawning as well food.
In 1999 in the late summer no algae appeared. No frogs were seen. Some insects were in the water. A creek test kit was obtained from the Community Environmental Council and tests were made of the water. Nitrate levels were slightly high which is normal and PH was also normal. Oxygen however was not measurable. An insect trap was placed in the creek and two weeks elapsed before the trap was removed. The insect count was fairly normal.
Other local creeks were visited and little or no algae was seen. When algae was seen it was most often the surface variety. San Ysidro creek which is very wide having plentiful sun through a 1,000 foot long stretch with only 8 inches of water was devoid of any usual algae. Instead a new variety that formed a thin layer forming large bubbles up to 2.5 inches in diameter was present. Historically this stretch had long, flowing algae filimintis in the rapid zones with clumping surface algae in the eddies.
A request in person to the Community Environmental Council to create a public inquiry into the disappearance of algae from other creeks was made. It was pointed out that human memory was frail and that after a few years the obscure species that may have not been noted anyway, definitely would not be remembered by most people. It was suggested that the non profit organization sponsor publicized events specifically for finding those members of the public who did remember the local algae populations and reminding the rest of the interested public of algae in the creeks. It was pointed out that the trend was likely to expand and other species would be disappearing as well. No assistance was forthcoming.
A hypothesis was extended to explain the disappearance. That the only real possibility for the impact on the creek was from air pollution because Cold springs has no residential, no agricultural and no industrial potential for impact. The only human impact other than the air over the watershed is a trail winding through the canyon to the top of the coastal mountains. Two roads touch portions of the canyon watershed. Gibralter road has a switch back with approximately 200 feet adjoining the west fork and Camino Cielo traverses the entire canyon head at the summit of the mountains for perhaps one mile intermittently through various gulches and sloping areas.
After much thought on exactly what had changed in the air that might cause the die off of algae it was remembered that in 1992 a media series of mini articles detailed the only real change in vehicle emissions. The articles reported on atmospheric impacts of the earlier change from leaded gasoline to gasohol or petroleum ethanol mixes detailed the only real change of pollutant into the air. One later article talked about a "greenish" layer appearing on the horizon and environmentalists. The final article stated that the E.P.A. had agreed to issue a waiver to California to burn MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) into gasoline despite the fact they had established good reason to ban MTBE totally. The E.P.A. had conducted closed system tests where everything growing in the closed system died. Another aspect reported was that the oxygenate would cause carbon particulate to not vaporize and rise into the upper atmosphere to be distributed over large areas. In other words the impacts from vehicle emotions would remain in the areas where the emotions were created.
The author speculates that because the exact reason for the death of the plant life in the closed system could not be attributed to a specific cause by the E.P.A. scientists, environmentalists chose to push the recommendation of the petroleum industry in talks with the E.P.A to waiver the use of what the industry termed "the best oxygenate". The waiver was conditional and stickers on the gas pumps stated that "MTBE was to dispensed only between the months of October 31, and February 31".
The reason for this is now clear. The E.P.A. knew from their tests that the accumulation of the carbon particulate on the ground being washed into the soil by rains precipitated the die off of vegetation. Burning the MTBE during wet months assured that nightly condensations would run of from previously saturated soils, into streams and down to oceans. In Southern California this is very irresponsible because rainfall is not predictable.
What happened was that in late 1993 or at least 1994 MTBE was added. By late 1994 it was determined that the "sky was not falling" and use of MTBE went year round. The appearance of the sky had improved although unknown to anyone the improvement was only an appearance and that long term damage was being done to plant organisms that would take time to show.
Simple logic says that when things are burned they become smaller and more numerous. MTBE mixes phenomenally well with water. MTBE is mixed into gasoline to lend its oxygen to the combustion of the petroleum product. It is safe to assume, if MTBE is "the best oxygenate" that all of its oxygen has been depleted after combustion. Making one ASSUMPTION explains how this, numerous, very fine particulate could make water repell oxygen. That assumption is the combusted MTBE particle can no longer associate with oxygen. When the dilution concentration of the particulate reaches a certain level, the water cannot associate with oxygen gas.

The declarations were sent to Lisa Roberts of Federal Fish and Wildlife. After a month of not hearing back I called Lisa Roberts of the Federal Fish and Wildlife in August I was informed that she would call the Central Coast State Regional Water Quality Control Board to authorize a test of the water. I called and was put in contact with environmental scientist Mary Adams and scheduled a visit for testing of Cold Springs creek.
On September 30, 2001 Mary Adams and a biologist accompanied me to Cold Springs and used sophisticated test device to measure the total dissolved oxygen in the water. Here is the email from her responding to my request for the results of the testing.
Hello Chris,
The oxygen levels in the morning were not much different that what we
observed Sunday evening, still right around 8.0 mg/L.
For fish and other aquatic organisms the lowest acceptable DO level is 5.0
mg/l. Below this level critters become severely stressed and superable to
other environmental conditions which would not otherwise affect them. Fish
kills are likely below 4.0 mg/l. FI you would like some more complete
information on oxygen and other water quality parameters check out the cool
water quality web page produced by Penn State.
Have a great day
Mary :)

No pollutants were found in the tests so no alarm went off. Low oxygen levels are not unusual. However, when missing algae indicates perpetually low levels are present, the authority of science, should rightfully, with regard to its supposed commitment, should have scheduled a long term study of the creek. The environmental scientists also were shown Eucalyptus trees that were dying near the measured creek that had dark carbon stains on them.
Dying Trees
Oak trees
Many oaks near roads are showing abundant brown leaf as branches die. Here the cause can be related to the introduction of carbonized MTBE into the air then water. In Northern California, marin area, many Tan oaks suddenly died. sudden oak death was created to describe the blight eventually identified as caused by a phytophora fungas. Reports said the trees had fooded trunks. My theory is that the tree cannot use water in the photosynthetic process with such low levels of total dissolved oxygen and so store the water in their trunks in the cambium layer. In Southern California the live oaks suffer from a beetle that bores tunnels through the wood of the tree. You can see that the wood dust cuttings from the borings is stored between the wood and the bark in the normally wet cambium layer. The wetter or flooded trunk keeps the beetle healthy and floats the cutting, softens them for compression increasing storage.
Eucalyptus are dying from infestations of Lipids, a natural parasite for the Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree. The trees have resisted the parasite that came with them from Australia for over a hundred years. Why now do these trees succumb to this pest? There were dark carbon stains on the trees trunks.

Investor Carl Icahn went public with his opposition to Cigna's proposed purchase of Express Scripts, saying the health insurer is overpaying amid a challenging regulatory environment and the entrance of Amazon into the pharmacy business.
The billionaire activist investor sent an open letter to Cigna shareholders Tuesday morning ahead of their Aug. 24 vote on the insurer's proposed $54 billion purchase of Express Scripts, a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) that works as a middleman between drug manufacturers and consumers when it comes to buying prescription medicines.
"When Cigna entered into this agreement several months ago I believed a $60 billion purchase price made no sense, but there were at least arguments that could be made by management to try to persuade us into thinking that it was not completely ridiculous," Icahn said in his letter. "These arguments now disappear in light of certain material events of the last month, such as Amazon's almost certain entrance as a competitor to Express Scripts and the government's direct challenge to the highly flawed rebate system. As a result, Express Scripts' earnings will almost certainly be seriously diminished, but even more importantly, Express Scripts will be existentially challenged, i.e., their very existence might well come into question over the next few years."
To be sure, the rebate system is under fire and companies are beginning to make moves toward more transparency in the light of criticism from employers, lawmakers and the Trump administration, which is pushing for lower drug prices.
"The current administration is particularly focused on bringing down prescription drug prices for consumers and has specifically targeted PBMs as the part of the supply chain that is overearning relative to the value they produce," Icahn wrote in his letter. "There is a strongly held belief that the rebate system, which Express Scripts relies on heavily, is a rigged game with conflicting incentives that might actually be pushing up drug prices. The recent proposed rule to remove the safe harbor protection for rebate payments is a clear shot across the bow for the PBM industry and occurred after the signing of the Cigna/Express Scripts merger agreement."
Icahn said the regulatory winds are blowing against PBMs like Express Scripts, and the timing of such an acquisition is not good.
"It is our belief that the PBM industry will move to an entirely fee-based model over time, which already exists for some customer groups," Icahn said of the Cigna-Express Scripts deal. "Since rebate customers are among the highest margin for PBMs, this shift is very likely to result in significant margin compression."
Icahn described his positions in the companies as currently "long Cigna and short Express Scripts stock." He described Cigna's purchase of Express Scripts as having the potential of becoming "one of the worst blunders in corporate history, ranking up there with the Time Warner/AOL fiasco and General Electric's long-running string of value destruction."
For its part, Express Scripts executives said Tuesday morning they are "well positioned for growth and remain confident in the deal."
"We delivered solid second quarter earnings, raised our guidance for client retention, and our expectations for prescription claims volume growth in our core business," Express Scripts said in a statement.

The GOP is being warned that if they go after Sonia Sotomayor, TOTUS' judicial activist nominee, that they will face ruin with hispanic voters. The Left is demonstrating a (typical) massive and endemic bigotry about hispanics, thinking that they all vote in a block based upon race. But of course the Left only sees people as members of a group. They can never see individuals.
Not only are they being bigoted, they are being hypocrites (par for the course, right?). Does the name Miguel Estrada ring a bell?
From The Heritage Foundation:
Do you remember Miguel Estrada? Back in 2001, Miguel Estrada was a nominee for the United Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. Unfortunately, Miguel Estrada never became a judge. His crime? He was a Latino Republican who liberals believed was on the fast-track for the Supreme Court
By the twisted (and bigoted) logic of the Sotomayor supporters the Democrats should never have opposed Estrada because the monolithic and unthinking hispanic voting bloc (their position, NOT MINE) would begin to vote against Democrats simply because they opposed an hispanic. Of course, this did not happen because hispanics are not an unthinking, ethnicity-obsessed voting bloc. And not only did the Democrats oppose him, they filibustered him, demonstrating that it is not about qualifications at all, it is about his Originalist philosophy (meaning: he has read and follows the text of the US Constitution). For the Left the end always justifies the means.
The article continues:
Despite graduating Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a bachelor's degree from Columbia University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School and serving as the Assistant U.S. Attorney and Deputy Chief of the Appellate Section at the U.S. Attorney's Office, Miguel Estrada's nomination to the United Court of Appeals was effectively killed. Then in the minority, Senate Democrats mounted a successful filibuster under Minority Leader Tom Daschle preventing Miguel Estrada from even getting the courtesy of receiving a simple up or down vote.
The minority party was well aware that Miguel Estrada would have the votes necessary to gain confirmation. Why stop him? It was later revealed in internal Memos (warning PDF) addressed to Minority Whip Dick Durbin that liberal activist groups pressured Democrats to prevent the confirmation of Estrada whom they viewed as "especially dangerous" because "he is a Latino, and the [Bush] White House seems to be grooming him for a Supreme Court appointment." In other words, they sought to stop him in order to prevent Bush from nominating a Latino to the Supreme Court. Subsequent memos suggested that Democrats on the Judiciary Committee and leadership agreed to filibuster because Estrada was "likely to be a Supreme Court nominee" and "[t]he Democratic base is particularly energized over this issue."
Apparently, attacking Hispanic conservatives is perfectly understandable and all part of due-diligence. But if conservatives examine the record of a liberal judge for the highest court in the land, it's racism?
I am so very grateful that my parents taught me not to sterotype/label races or ethnicities. That is one of the reasons that I could never be a liberal/progressive: I believe in the individual and I loathe shallow group identities based upon ethnicity, race, or religion.
Ironically, Ms Sotymayor's own words show that she is in the fact the bigot in this scenario:
"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
How could anyone who thinks like that not be a liberal? And what in the hell does her alleged richness of experiences (growing up in NYC) have to do with the law or the Constitution anyway? Nothing.

My mom and I are currently on an island just outside of Spain, Gran Canaria – and we'll be celebrating Christmas here this year ❤ It was a really needed girls trip for sure, and I'm so excited to just stay in the heat and relax – just have a proper holiday with my mom. Since I've been a little girl we have done this together every year, and we'll keep doing it! Our tradition.
It's a little bit sad not to celebrate the new year with Dan, Mathilde and Amy who's now at home, especially because I've just recently been away for so long – but I'm still so thankful I can be here and as long as I have my mom by my side I know I'll have a great time here. I'll see them soon.
I'm so happy to be here with my mamma ❤

Benefits of Filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Stratford
Chapter 13 is the most successful method to stop foreclosure and prevent home loss. The filing of a Chapter 13 petition produces an automatic stay on any further foreclosure action in the state court and gives the homeowner full powers to save the home in the federal Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Court. Chapter 13 has provided relief to thousands of homeowners who have successfully saved their homes from foreclosure with the legal assistance from experienced Chapter 13 specialists. At the Law Offices of Neil Crane, we've been saving homes in and around Stratford, CT through Chapter 13 filings and plans of reorganization since 1983.
The filing of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition at any time before a law day or on approval of a foreclosure by sale will stop the foreclosure action while allowing for a three-to-five year repayment plan.

Chapter 13 Provides Powers to Eliminate or Restructure Secured Debt
Chapter 13 grants borrowers and their specialized legal counsel the power to alter secured debt in a variety of different ways, providing favorable relief for homeowners struggling with low real estate values, high mortgages and equity lines or second mortgages. By reducing secured debt to the value of the collateral, Chapter 13 allows for principal reduction in various forms of secured debt.
Experienced Lien Removal Attorneys Under Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Liens placed on real estate are subject to removal under special provisions in Chapter 13.
Chapter 13 allows for the removal of liens on property through a motion to determine that no equity truly exists to support the lien position. To the extent the lien is under-secured, or unprotected by value in the property, it can be removed by motions brought in the Chapter 13 proceeding. Removed liens are then permanently treated to unsecured status and treatment under the Chapter 13 Plan which could call for complete elimination of the removed lien and debt.
Chapter 13 Covers the Full Range of all Forms of Debt
Chapter 13 provides for the elimination, reduction or restructuring of all forms of debt without exception and treats debts in order of importance or priority. Chapter 13 protection and Plans cover:
- Real estate tax repayment plans
- Mortgage repayments
- Tax elimination or repayment
- Credit card elimination or reduction
Chapter 13 is the leading means to save homes from foreclosure by instituting an automatic stay against any foreclosure action at any stage and allowing for a repayment of secured debt over a three-to-five year repayment plan. This can be done at any time prior to the strict foreclosure law day or sale date.

Monash University students have set the benchmark in national journalism awards after winning six categories and four high commendations in the 2018 Ossie Awards.
Norwegian international student Andrea Thiis-Evensen won two Ossies in audio and video storytelling, highlighting her depth of talent across two broadcast fields. Her Monash colleague, Ezra Holt, was a joint winner in the video category (under two minutes).
Other major award-winners include Angus Smith (best text-based story over 750 words, postgraduate), Amber Schultz (Our Watch – violence against women, postgraduate), Sybilla Gross and Suryan Zaki (investigative journalism – all media) and Daria Impiombato (media ethics essay, postgraduate).
Undergraduate journalism student Selby Stewart was high commended for the Australian Press Council Prize for Journalism Student of the Year.
Jessica Woolley scored two high commendations for innovation and Our Watch, which involves the reporting of violence against women, while Edward Wong was highly commended for photojournalism.
Monash's high commendation for innovation was the result of a team entry, which showcased the collaborative work of digital production students and MADA's multimedia design students, under the leadership of MADA lecturers Jeff Janet and Ben Roberts, and journalism's Julie Tullberg.
The students' storytelling feature offers a 360° interactive experience, including a rotating globe, pop-up poverty information bites on various countries, visually enriched stories and a 3D virtual experience for mobile devices, including smart phones.
The 2017/2018 cohort marks the strongest performance of Monash journalism students in the annual awards, which were presented in Hobart last night.
The Ossies, organised by the Journalism Research and Education Association of Australia (JERAA), are judged by leading Australian journalists.
School of Media, Film and Journalism's Associate Professor Mia Lindgren said Monash journalism students had embraced the challenges of outstanding storytelling and were recognised deservedly at the Ossie Awards.
"Our student reporters are inspired by staff and student editors who drive a culture of excellent storytelling for Mojo News, our digital platform," Associate Professor Lindgren said.
"We are so proud of our students, who worked together to write compelling stories and produce great audio and video with enthusiasm and creativity."
Ms Thiis-Evensen, who was overwhelmed to win two Ossies, said she wanted to thank her teachers who taught her a range of journalism skills.
"It wouldn't have been possible without the help of so many people. I have been so lucky being a part of Mojo News, which is the reason why I have grown as a journalist," Ms Thiis-Evensen said.
"I wouldn't have done any of this without the help of so many incredible journalism teachers, particularly Heather Jarvis, Nick Parkin and Corinna Hente, who have taught me how to write, how to make videos and how to produce radio. I owe them all so much."
2018 Ossie Award winners and high commendations
Best text-based story by a Postgraduate Student - over 750 words ($200)
Judge: Belinda Seeney, News Corp Australia
Winner - Angus Smith, Monash University. "Eight Years On: The Syrian war and its child refugees."
Angus produced a sophisticated, insightful and accessible snapshot into a complex and ongoing issue. He employed sensitivity while telling a few of the human stories plucked from the crisis to deliver an emotional punch while his careful research and astute observations lent the feature authority and gravitas.
Best audio story by an Undergraduate or Postgraduate Student – 2 minutes or less ($200)
Judge: Lara Webster, ABC Radio
Winner - Andrea Thiis-Evensen, Monash University. "Memorial service for slain teenage Liep Gony."
This radio package told the listener everything they needed to know in two minutes. What is more though, the mix of atmos and the short but emotive grabs really did convey the emotion and grief the family still held onto. Overall, it was a well-developed, respectful, succinct package that included a range of voices, emotion and significant details.
Best video story by an Undergraduate or Postgraduate Student – 2 minutes or less ($200)
Judge: Katie Toney, Seven News
Winner - Andrea Thiis-Evensen and Ezra Holt, Monash University. "Firefighters climb hard for charity."
This story had all the elements of an excellent video news story. The go pro vision gave insight into the event and the interviews were emotional and told the story well. The story was put together with sensitivity and written clearly. The audio was good quality as was the video aspect. Well done.
Best innovation in journalism
Winner: Immerse – UniSA.
Judge: Nick Evershed, The Guardian
There were a lot of great entries in the Innovation category this year. Immerse stood out not because of the ambitious use of VR in storytelling, but because it was clear students had made an effort to find stories that were particularly well-suited to a new, experimental medium. The feature on the artist was particularly compelling (and it's hard to think of a better way to present a story featuring wall-to-ceiling artworks).
Highly commended - Monash University digital production students (led by Jessica Woolley) and multimedia design students (MADA). "Global Poverty."
Best photojournalism by an Undergraduate or Postgraduate Student ($200)
Judge: Rob Maccoll, Freelance
Winner – Brendan Martin, Queensland University of Technology. "Jason Knows Ipswich."
Jason has obviously spent a considerable amount of time and effort getting to know his subject and documenting his lifestyle and environment. He shows an understanding of the lighting, lens selection and framing needed to tell this story. His images have not been manipulated or over-processed which is how good photojournalism should be. They are of a high standard and would comfortably fit on the pages of any magazine.
Highly Commended: Edward See Yuen Wong, Monash University. "'We are dreamers': The Filipino migrant workers of Hong Kong."
Investigative journalism (all media)
Judge: Alison Sandy, Seven News
Winner - Sybilla Gross and Suryan Zaki, Monash University. "Bloody difficult coping with periods when you're homeless."
This certainly grabbed my attention straight away and was something I'd never given too much attention to before. It's engaging to the audience, well written and the pictures are good. It was great having a homeless person but they shouldn't have been left to the end. I'd have opened with them to provide the emotional context. My one other criticism was many of the pictures are of homeless men, rather than women who get their period. It is the winner in my opinion in that it's an issue on our backdoor step and the effort that has been made in undertaking this project is to be applauded.
Our Watch (Individual, Any Medium, Undergraduate) ($200 prize)
Judges: Caitlyn Hoggan and Jane Gilmore
Winner – Ninah Kopel and Ollie Henderson, University of Technology Sydney. "After #MeToo: Conditions of entry."
This podcast provides an in-depth exploration and analysis of the experiences of immigrant women who are victims of sexual and intimate partner violence. The podcast adopts a best practice approach, and meets the guidelines by acknowledging and naming intimate partner violence, and providing details for support services. It also delivers a clear picture of the additional challenges immigrant women experience including victim blaming and isolation, and discusses the gendered context in which violence occurs, highlighting the power perpetrators and the broader system have over victim/survivors. The piece also meets the guidelines by offering commentary from reliable sources including academics, and victim/survivors themselves bringing a human voice to the story.
Highly Commended – Jessica Woolley, Monash University. "You have to start from somewhere': From changing the course to changing the culture."
Our Watch (Individual, Any Medium, Postgraduate) ($200 prize)
Judges: Caitlyn Hoggan and Jane Gilmore
Winner - Amber Schultz, Monash University. "We need a refuge: Cowes residents confront Minister over family violence services"
Amber provides a well-constructed overview of the murder of Samantha Fraser. Amber meets the guidelines by naming the murder, and including the perpetrator in the story, as opposed to leaving him absent. The articles also discusses the broader context of family violence within the local community, identifying local statistics and the local challenges experienced by women in terms of accessing services. Multiple sources are called on for a statement throughout the article, including government and local community members who were able to humanise the story and the victim.
The Australian Press Council Postgraduate Prize for an essay on the topic of media ethics ($200 prize)
Judges: Mike Steketee and Julie Kinross, Australian Press Council members
Winner - Daria Impiombato, Monash University. "Charlie Pourquoi? Freedom of expression and its limitations in modern western democracies."
A well-researched and well-argued essay on balancing freedom of speech and the press in a democracy with limitations on hate speech and protecting the rights of ethnic and religious minorities, in the interests of combatting extremism and encouraging cohesive societies.
The Australian Press Council Prize for Journalism Student of the Year ($750 prize)
Judges: Mike Steketee and Julie Kinross, Australian Press Council members
Winner - Sinead Fogarty, Macleay College
Examples include Tales of a foreign Correspondent, UK's joint-oldest man celebrates his 110th birthday, The Australian women rising from Mother's Ruin and A fun-sized premier league.
Sinead Fogarty demonstrated a superior ability to connect with and get the most out of interviewees and capture the essence of what is of interest to the reader. Sinead has a mature and lively writing style, has embraced new media and developed a compendium of consistently high quality work. Her work includes book reviews for the 2017 Hatch-Stella Prize and an article in which she accurately predicts the winner. Sinead achieved the highest academic marks for her year.
Highly Commended - Selby Stewart, Monash University.
Highly Commended - Madeline Stephens, Curtin University.

In all, a company we trust to do a great job at a reasonable price and leave alone in the house!"

Q. My question relates to a transit that repeatedly states a secret is revealed during this period up until Jan 10. I have an aspect of Neptune square Uranus which related to above. It started mid March this year and is expected to last till mid Jan 2010. I have two elders who are my cross. Is this possibly related to family which has suffered greatly over the past decade?
A. This transit definitely relates to both family and "hidden secrets", to use the quaint language of older horary astrology. Firstly, your natal Uranus is in the 10th House, one of the houses of parents and is part of a T-square involving the Sun in Sagittarius, reflecting your father and the Moon in Leo, your mother. The Neptune transit activates each of these points over a four year period from 2008 to 2012 representing a slow progressive unravelling of their influences on you as a child and in the present.
The T-square describes your parents as being very different people who shared great internal instability that unfortunately made them unstable, emotionally erratic individuals who were not well equipped for the parenting roles. What they were doing together is a mute point but they were, on some important levels, hardly more than children themselves, psychologically speaking. I dare say that part of your current difficulties are because they have regressed into similar territory, acting like demanding and ungrateful children and setting you up to be their parent. Your mother has the unfortunately ability to be especially manipulative and controlling but the Neptune transits mean that their power over you is diminishing and disintegrating.
As this is reflected in your own chart a parallel internal process is going on in you, a major opportunity for you to unravel your own patterning around this legacy. Difficult aspects from either Sun or Moon from Uranus in the natal chart exaggerates a tendency of highly sensitive and individualistic children to take flight early on to escape the trauma and instability in their psychic environment. This disembodies them and disconnects there from their essence, their emotions and their true potency and, if unhealed they can find themselves unconsciously repeating the same behaviours as their parents, a complex brew of instability and manipulation, real crazy-making stuff. On the simplest level they don't know what they really feel and this creates all sorts of trauma.
This is where the "hidden secrets" theme comes from. It will have the effect of flushing out some of the family skeletons, unhealed and ungrieved experiences from their lives, which may include the circumstances around your own conception and why they stayed together in the first place. More importantly though the secrets, the real gift, is the possibility to recover those lost parts of your own emotional self, to become more emotionally whole. Neptune has a way of dissolving old structures to allow the release of psychic-emotional debris from early earlier trauma and dislocations. The end result is worth going through the inner turbulence that comes with this.
This is a potential seduction here to watch out for as Neptune square Uranus can also take you out of your body if you are not staying conscious of the need to stay grounded. Some of this is to be expected as part of the coinciding psychic-spiritual openings that go with any Neptune/Uranus contacts but it can fly all too close to the childhood tendency to split. Certainly keep up your spiritual practices but at the very least, it would be good to be getting support, like regular bodywork, to keep you in your body and to stay in touch with your feelings.
During the next 2 years Neptune will also be trining your Venus in Libra, so while the more unpleasant stuff from your childhood gets moved, you'll be having some major heart openings. You'll get the chance to love, and to love your parents, in an unconditional way, that sees them for who they are, two traumatised and disempowered people who struggled and probably tried their best.

FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About the BS III Ban in India
On 1 April, the sale of all the Bharat Stage III vehicles – including two-, three- and four- wheelers – will come to an abrupt halt in India. For the automobile sector, the move is comparable to the scrapping of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes that jolted the country in November last year.
The BS III ban has resulted in auto companies doling out a slew of discounts on bikes of up to Rs 3.5 lakh, with even brands like Ducati and Bajaj in the mix.
Also Read: Just for Today: Heavy Discounts on Ducati, Harley and Hero bikes
But what does the 'demonetisation' of BS III mean? How will the implementation of BS IV affect consumers? What should they be worried about? We put everything down for you here.
What Is BS III?
Bharat Stage (or BS) refers to the emission standards set by Central Pollution Control Board under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. These standards are put in place by the central government to keep a check on vehicles' polluting levels.
The BS norms are similar to Euro global standards, but the former is a level below the Euros. These are usually seen inscribed on cars, and are used by automakers to inform consumers of the emission status of their vehicles.
The BS III emission norm has been the standard for vehicles in India since October 2010.
What Does BS IV Offer?
Starting 1 April, the regulatory body has made the logical upgrade to BS IV – the level similar to Euro 6 for the rest of the world.
The BS IV initial order was laid out last year when the Supreme Court had ordered all auto manufacturers to plan their models with BS IV technology. In effect, the order directed them to stop sale of BS III vehicles from 1 April 2017.
Brands like Hero MotoCorp and Tata Motors were hoping for a reprieve, but that never came. All in all, switch from BS III to BS IV is seen as a big win for environmentalists and the National Green Tribunal (NGT) that has been after this case for a while now.
What Does BS IV Mean for Buyers?
Switching to BS IV will be a costly affair for auto companies – and for the industry as a whole.
Spare-part makers will have to make the changes to the BS IV-centric equipment, considering the changes that auto companies will make to their engine systems to upgrade from BS III to BS IV.
Auto companies claim that vehicles worth over Rs 15,000 crore have been hit by this emission switch. And upgrading engine, fuel to comply with BS IV will only add to manufacturers' costs.

Fashion is about the body. Colin McDowell's new book takes that to heart. "The Anatomy of Fashion" is a survey of how we dress, why we look the way we do and how this has changed over time according to laws, prudery and sexuality.
"There is nothing more seductive than half-seen parts of the body, including the face. Diaphanous clothes and drapes that slip and slide as one moves are very sexually exciting." Colin McDowell > MORE

Mid-City CAN Awarded CA Nonprofit of the Year
Help us continue to do the work we do by donating today!
SAN DIEGO, CA – Mid-City Community Advocacy Network also known as Mid-City CAN is proud to announce it has been selected as a 2019 California Nonprofit of the Year by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez-Fletcher.
Diana Rodriguez Ross, Executive Director for Mid-City CAN will travel to Sacramento to join one hundred other nonprofit leaders who will be honored by their state senators and assemblymembers during a celebration luncheon as part of California Nonprofits Day on June 5th.
"We are honored to be recognized by Assemblywoman Gonzalez Fletcher as Nonprofit of the Year. This award is especially meaningful to Mid-City CAN this year as we are celebrating 30 years of working hand-in-hand with our community to create a thriving City Heights. This is really a recognition of the collective dedication and the love that youth, parents, teachers, and partners have for this community," commented Diana Rodriguez Ross
"Nonprofits are often hidden in plain sight," explains Jan Masaoka, CEO of the California Association of Nonprofits (CalNonprofits). "California Nonprofits Day is an opportunity for our elected officials to celebrate the good work they see nonprofits doing in their districts, and for everyone to appreciate the collective impact of nonprofits in our communities."
Additional Background
California Nonprofits Day, now in its fourth year, was formally recognized by Assembly Concurrent Resolution 62, authored by the chair of the Assembly Select Committee on the Nonprofit Sector, Assemblywoman Monique Limón (Santa Barbara), who will speak at the celebration luncheon. Senator Holly Mitchell will keynote the luncheon. The day is organized by Assemblymember Limón and CalNonprofits.
According to "Causes Count," a 2016 report commissioned by CalNonprofits, the nonprofit sector is the 4th largest industry in the state, employing nearly one million people. Each year, California nonprofits generate over $200 billion in revenue and bring in $40 billion in revenue from outside of California. The unpaid labor contributed by volunteers at nonprofits is equivalent to 450,000 full-time jobs every year.
30 Years Told in 30 Stories: Leslie Renteria Salome
(Excerpt from 2014 Voice of San Diego article)
"The most powerful example of this kind of work, Ross said, is a youth-led campaign to bring a skate park to City Heights. After years of lobbying elected officials, the youth have the funds they need and are in the design phase.
On a recent evening, they met with park and recreation staff to dream up the perfect park, cutting out renderings of rails and ramps and assembling them on a map of the park like dresses on a paper doll. Their work was interrupted by adults who own homes near the proposed park site and aren't sold on the plan.
The room grew tense as the homeowners shouted things like, "Skate parks belong in industrial areas!" and "You don't come into somebody else's space without asking first." The room calmed as a soft, but confident voice in the back of the room offered to show them a report that might allay their fears – an impact assessment suggesting the park is likely to decrease crime in the area. The voice belonged to 17-year-old Leslie Renteria.
"Before joining the (campaign) I was pretty shy. I never thought that I was able to speak up in front of people, and more, to speak up to defend what I believe in and the work that we've done. I just didn't think I was important in the community," Renteria said.
Through her involvement with the skate park campaign, Renteria said she realized she wants to become an urban planner so she can continue the work she and her peers have started in City Heights."
Leslie's leadership in Mid-City CAN's Youth Council is a reminder of how the action of one can POSITIVELY impact the future of many.
Help Mid-City CAN continue to develop leaders and build a happier, healthier future in City Heights and beyond by making a donation today.

Building Statewide Momentum for Juvenile Justice Reform
Every young person deserves access to adequate support and opportunities to reach their full potential.
Unfortunately, our current juvenile justice system is like an exceptionally difficult maze, with too many paths in and too few ways out. Too many children and youth in City Heights and in working communities of color across our state are unjustly stripped from their potential and funneled into the criminal justice maze.
Instead of funneling youth into the school to prison pipeline, we should be leading them to the opportunities that will help them develop into happy, healthy, contributing members of their community. While our roots are in City Heights, redesigning the juvenile justice system will have an impact beyond our region and state. So, we are building statewide momentum to ensure all youth, regardless of their zip code, can reach their dreams.Read more

Resident Spotlight: Rosa Calvario on Community Representation
Communities prosper when decisions are made by leaders who share life experiences with the people they serve.
While people of color and women make up most of San Diego's population, they do not make up the majority of San Diego's decision makers on boards and commissions. When San Diego's decision makers don't experience the same challenges as most San Diegans, they can't make the best decisions about how to meet our community's needs
Although San Diego is a democracy, our systems for choosing decision-makers favor the people and networks that have historically held power and prevent the majority of San Diegans from getting a seat at the table.
For San Diego to prosper, we need leaders who can make decisions based on life experiences they have in common with most San Diegans.
Join us at the September 26 at the Townhall on Community Representation, by San Diego Leaders, to learn how to help more people have a seat at the table—maybe even you!Read more
Building Power Block by Block in City Heights—Neighborhood Captains
Mid-City CAN's Civic Engagement team builds power block by block in City Heights by turning out voters to the polls and connecting our community to the campaigns that matter to them. With this increase in power, we expect to see better and quicker results for a safer, more productive, and healthier City Heights.

We are currently recruiting new Neighborhood Captains to join our field team as we prepare for the November general elections.
We invite you to attend one of the Hiring Nights on August 1, 15, or 29 from 5:00 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Mid-City CAN's office (4305 University Ave., Suite 550, San Diego CA, 92105) as your best opportunity to be hired for the Neighborhood Captain position.

Residente Destacada: Stephanie Perez
En el 2017, Mid-City CAN inauguró su primer entrenamiento de liderazgo para preparar a residentes de City Heights para servir en comités de consejo para el gobierno municipal, conocidos como boards and commissions. Los comités de consejo influyen en la toma de decisiones de los diferentes departamentos de la ciudad y el condado de San Diego y en áreas tales como las artes y la cultura, los parques, la vivienda, la prevención de pandillas y las prácticas policiales. Por lo tanto, los comités de consejo son de suma importancia y quienes sirven en ellos deben representar a las diversas comunidades de San Diego.
Stephanie Perez, residente de City Heights y recién graduada del entrenamiento de liderazgo, platicó con nosotros sobre la importancia del entrenamiento y los comités de consejo:Read more
Youth Urge City Council Budget Allocation to Break School to Prison Pipeline
We commend councilmembers Gómez and Ward for including in their joint budget memo to the mayor our ask of $300 thousand for restorative justice training for police officers serving the Mid-City region. We would like to thank them for listening to the young people of City Heights working tirelessly to keep youth out of jail and in their schools, homes, and community where they can learn, grow, and develop. We would also like to thank Chief Nisleit for supporting Mid-City CAN in seeking additional training on restorative justice for his department.
Now that SDPD is part of the Restorative Community Conferencing program, we urge Mayor Faulconer to include in his final budget to be released on June 13, a budget allocation of $300 thousand to better prepare SDPD to serve the community through the restorative justice program.

Witty and entertaining (People's Friend)
A must for all Agatha Raisin fans (Mystery Women)
Agatha's former husband James is engaged to be married to a beautiful, young woman and Agatha has been kindly invited to the wedding. To take her mind off this, Agatha decides she has fallen for Sylvan, a Frenchman she met at James' engagement party. To distract her still further she decides upon a holiday and flies to Istanbul, where unfortunately she bumps into James and his fiancée not once but twice - convincing him she is stalking them.
So when the bride is murdered on her wedding day, naturally Agatha is Suspect Number One - but then matters are turned on their head when the dead bride's mother engages Agatha to take on the case of her murdered daughter! And very soon Agatha's own life is in danger while she tries to solve the mystery of the corpse bride while fighting off (halfheartedly) the advances of a very attractive and determined Frenchman!

Family Gryllidae
Varies, though usually no larger than 1-1/2 inches in length.
Generally black or brown.
Crickets are easily recognizable to most people. They are typically thick and square in shape with enlarged back legs designed for jumping. Camel crickets range from tan to brown in color and are characterized by the severely humped thorax. They have very long rear legs and long, thin antennae.
Crickets generally live and breed outdoors and invade buildings searching for food, moisture, or shelter. The adults are attracted to bright lights on buildings and may fly to Homes and other buildings by the dozens or even hundreds (in mid- to late summer). Once near the building, crickets will crawl through any crack or hole that allows them access inside. These insects have been known to feed on and damage clothing, usually items that are soiled and awaiting laundering. Camel crickets do live and breed indoors, usually in a crawl space, cellar or basement. They occasionally wander up into the living areas of the Home where their quick jumping ability can startle the unwary person. Camel crickets may also invade Homes from wood piles and similar areas outside.
The natural habitat of crickets is a field or wooded area. Near buildings, they will be found living among tall weeds and heavy vegetation (e.g., ivy), under boards, stones and other items, and in piles of lumber, firewood, or debris.
The best way to limit crickets is to eliminate as much potential harborage as possible outside the building. The following tips should prove helpful:
