How to Make Your Dead Eagle a Legal Eagle
It's a crime to possess eagle parts. So what should you do if you find some?

Here is a strange-but-true American fact: It is a crime to be in possession of eagles and eagle parts other than for the purposes of Native American tribal ritual—down to a feather.
But, you may be asking, what if I just happen to come across a dead eagle in the wild?
Good question! This is where the National Eagle Repository, the federal government's official dead eagle processing center, comes in.
Part of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge near Denver, Colorado, the National Eagle Repository is the one place in the nation where deceased symbols of American freedom are sent, as well as the place you can look to for all your legal eagle part needs.
First created in the 1970s, the office as it exists today was established in 1995 as a result of a presidential mandate designed to create a legally regulated method for Native American tribes to obtain eagle parts for use in various cultural activities. The fierce protection of bald eagles in America made the procurement of eagle parts a thorny issue for many Native American tribes who use them—especially the feathers—in their legally protected cultural rites. With the repository in place, obtaining eagle parts is now a perfectly legal process that both helps to protect the animal and the rights of the people who use them.

The late eagles themselves can flow to the Repository from a number of avenues. According to Coleen Schaefer, the Supervisory Wildlife Repository Specialist, eagle corpses usually come from state and federal wildlife officers who find the dead birds in the wild, as well as eagle rehabilitators who end up with birds that just couldn't pull through. However, zoos and even private citizens may (and, technically, are legally obligated to) send eagles to the facility. While the website calls for all eagle parts, regardless of condition, to be sent to the repository, Schaefer says they mainly get whole eagles. The Repository is refreshingly nondiscriminatory in its desire for dead eagle parts, although, as their website also makes very clear, they should not be sent eagles that have died from the West Nile Virus. This, tragically, is a real problem.
Birds that have been poisoned are also problematic, as the Repository only accepts them after an necropsy has been performed, just as if they were human murder victims.
Schaefer says that in addition to the more standard cases in which the birds die of disease or some other natural cause, they also get birds that were killed in illegal shootings. Once the investigation is complete, the "victim" is shipped to the Repository to be necropsied and harvested for Native American rituals. Sometimes they even come in still carrying their last meals. "We have received eagles where prey are still gripped in their talons, e.g. fish, ducks, etc., and that's always interesting," says Schaefer.

The National Eagle Repository may not be picky about what birds come to them, but they are incredibly fastidious about the parts they send out to others. When the eagles come to the Repository, they are assessed for their usability to the Native American population, as damaged parts are not acceptable for many of their uses. Schaefer estimates that between 30 and 40 eagles are evaluated each day. "If the bird is best suited to be used for feathers, we hand-pluck the feathers from the wings and tail to provide to the applicant," she says. (Usable or not, that is a staggering amount of dead eagles, and there are only three staff members working on the eagles full-time.)
If you happen to come across a dead eagle, you should contact a wildlife officer. But in case you decide to take care of that national treasure corpse yourself, the Repository suggests that you wear gloves to protect yourself from disease, place the bird in a sturdy plastic bag to prevent "leakage," and get it into a freezer as soon as possible. All good rules for handling any dead thing, really.
They also suggest that you transport the carcass in a separate area from yourself in a vehicle. Specifically, the back of a pick-up. During both handling and packaging the eagle, it's important to remember to be extra careful with the feathers, because if they are damaged, your grimly patriotic submission may all have been for naught.

The Weekly Eater: Olena's move to Kalihi proves wise
By Review by Nadine Kam, Special to the Star-Advertiser
DENNIS ODA / DODA@STARADVERTISER.COM
Ron Simon works in the kitchen at his restaurant, Olena, in Kalihi.
A beef brisket bowl, left, and a Filipino crispy pork belly bowl.
If you liked chef Ron Simon's food at the UH Medical School, chances are you'll like it even more at Olena's new location in Kalihi. Read more
The last time I caught up with chef Ron Simon and his wife, Rose Ling, they were operating out of Cafe Waiola at the John A. Burns School of Medicine in Kakaako. Seemed like a good gig, but the cafeteria closed last summer for a two-month renovation project that left them temporarily homeless.
When the project wore on past the completion deadline, the couple started looking for other temporary quarters, thinking they would eventually return to the medical school. They moved into Kalihi, where a hungry lunch crowd welcomed their casual-luxe to-go plates and rice bowls. Now the couple says they're not budging from the spot. Their landlord and neighbor is the Hawaiian Chip Co., and the two companies, plus temporary tenant Dipped by Dee, have a symbiotic relationship, sending customers back and forth for visits that may include samples of banana poi bread, chips and chocolate-dipped strawberries.
If you liked Simon's food at the medical school, chances are you'll like it even more here. The focus has changed from light options, geared toward an audience of medical school faculty and students, to heavier fare suitable for the cafe's current industrial environs, though still with an emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients as reflected in its name. "Olena" is the Hawaiian word for turmeric, known for its medicinal, purifying properties.
Lack of cooking facilities at the medical school had also limited hot options to a handful of items that could be prepared in a lineup of multicookers. The Kalihi facility forces no limitations on what can be cooked. The downside is that there's no seating, so you can't enjoy your meal on the spot, unless you're willing to stand, as I did, to devour a sometime special of beer-battered shrimp. It was the only way to enjoy the crisp, airy coating, still hot from the fryer. I feel sorry for those — including former patrons from the medical school — who make a 15- to 20-minute drive back to their home or workplace before they can bite into it. Still good, but not the same as when eaten immediately.
>> The Weekly Eater: Olena's move to Kalihi proves wise
To start, the cafe's namesake turmeric appears on the small menu in a salad dressing option, and the spice is also infused into empanada dough. These large savory pastries ($7.95 each) are filled with varying combinations of sweet potatoes and meat, from shredded chicken to Kilauea Fire BBQ-sauced pulled pork.
Because dishes are arranged so beautifully, they come out of the kitchen with covers off, to acknowledge those who can't eat without first photographing their food. It's a shame, for instance, to smoosh down a gorgeous poke bowl ($12.95) topped with a tangle of fried ogo and slices of avocado. A sous-vide chicken salad ($10.50) is the leanest item on the menu, the sliced chicken topping a bed of organic greens with choice of turmeric-citrus, papaya, balsamic vinaigrette, or Caesar dressings.
Even though I crave deep-fried foods, I would usually steer clear of an all-deep-fry meal of fish and chips ($13.95) but after sampling the beer-batter shrimp special I couldn't resist a repeat experience of that light, crispy batter. The chef uses auction-fresh mahimahi served with tartar sauce, but those with a continental preference for malt vinegar can have that, too.
Rice bowls take the place of plate lunches here. You have the option of brown or white rice, or swap it out for greens instead. Current protein choices are pulled pork ($9.95), beef brisket ($10.95) or Oink and Moo ($11.95), a combination of mini beef patties and braised pork belly adobo. I tried the burger first, which was plenty tasty, but it's hard to go back to beef after sampling the juicy, flavorful pork. Those in the know are requesting an all-oink bowl.
The same protein options are offered as jumbo sliders at $4.50 to $5.95 each. Bowls and sliders are topped with coleslaw with pineapple to brighten and lighten the flavors.
The full plate experience comes via an order of classic red-wine beef stew ($11.50) with a choice of rice and organic greens or, for $1 more, sub mac 'n' cheese for the rice.
You can still get Illy coffee here, or another popular refresher is Filipino lemonade ($3.95 to $5.95), filtered water flavored with a dice of pineapple and squeeze of calamansi.
Due to demand, the couple has introduced prime-rib Thursdays, and more menu additions are coming as they continue to listen to what their diners want.

Gallup: Only 50% of Americans now willing to get a COVID vaccine
Maria Arias
Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios
According to the latest Gallup poll, Americans' willingness get a coronavirus vaccine has dropped to 50% in late September, a dramatic 11-point fall from the previous month.
Why it matters: This steep drop is further evidence that the vaccine has been politicized. Republicans are now more willing to be vaccinated, while Democrats and independents have become increasingly uncomfortable.
Driving the news: These results follow President Trump's announcement that he was pushing for a coronavirus vaccine before the election. This timeline is unlikely as the FDA has posted vaccine guidance that requires drugmakers to monitor clinical trial participants for a median of two months after they receive their final dose.
The decrease is due to many Americans losing confidence in the approval process for the vaccine. According to Gallup, they won't take an FDA-approved vaccine "right now" because of Trump.
Since early August, young adults have been consistently more positive about taking the vaccine than middle-aged and older adults.
Men are 12% more comfortable than women getting the vaccine. The latest poll showed 56% of men versus 44% of women say they would get it.
Parents of minors are less likely to vaccinate themselves than non-parents. The latest poll shows parents are at its lowest at 44%, while 52% of non-parents still say they would be vaccinated.
Methodology: Results for this Gallup poll are based on self-administered web surveys conducted Sept. 14-27, 2020, with a random sample of 2,730 adults, aged 18 and older, who are members of the Gallup Panel.

Kids' screen time up 50% during pandemic
When the coronavirus lockdowns started in March, kidstech firm SuperAwesome found that screen time was up 50%. Nearly a year later, that percentage hasn't budged, according to new figures from the firm.
Why it matters: For most parents, pre-pandemic expectations around screen time are no longer realistic. The concern now has shifted from the number of hours in front of screens to the quality of screen time.

Borussia Dortmund will find it 'very difficult' to reach UCL knockout round – Zorc
September 28, 2017 by admin 0 Comments
Borussia Dortmund, Leagues, Story, UEFA Champions League
Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale ran riot in Dortmund as Real Madrid join Spurs as top of Group H.
The ESPN FC crew discuss Borussia Dortmund's shortcomings in their 3-1 loss against Real Madrid.
Despite a strong penalty claim, Borussia Dortmund manager Peter Bosz had no complaints about his side's loss to Real Madrid.
Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has acknowledged that it will be "very difficult" to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League following Tuesday's 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid.
Dortmund were outclassed on Tuesday as they suffered their first Champions League home defeat to Madrid in their seventh meeting with the Spanish side in Europe's biggest club competition.
The loss left the Bundesliga leaders without a point from their first two group-stage matches for the first time ever, having lost to Tottenham earlier this month, and they already trail Madrid and Spurs by six points in Group H.
"It will be very difficult," Zorc told kicker when asked about Dortmund's chances of progressing to the knockout stages. "We have to win all of our games now, and Tottenham must more or less lose everything."
Borussia Dortmund suffered a second straight Champions League loss on Tuesday.
While Dortmund lead the Bundesliga by two points and have conceded just one goal in six league matches, Peter Bosz's side have conceded six goals in two outings in Europe this season.
This has led to criticism of the Dortmund coach, with German media outlets questioning Bosz's plan to press every opponent high up the pitch.
However, Zorc defended Bosz against such criticism, adding: "We were not able to get our pressing onto the pitch, and only attacked half-heartedly."

Avoiding trans fats doesn't just mean staying away from junk food.
Not all fats are bad, though; there are good fats: the monounsaturated fats in nuts and avocados. There are great fats: the Omega-3 fats in flax seeds. And then there are the bad fats: the saturated fats found primarily in meat and dairy. And finally, the killer fats—trans fats, which are found in only two places: hydrogenated oils, and meat and dairy. Trans fats are basically found only in one place in nature—in animal fats.
Now, thanks to better living through chemistry, though, the food industry found a way to create these toxic fats synthetically by hardening vegetable oil in a process called hydrogenation, which rearranges their atoms to make them behave more like animal fats. This may be good for shelf life, but is not good for human life. The most prestigious scientific body in the United States, the National Academy of Sciences, released a damning report on trans fats, and concluded that the only safe intake of trans fats was zero.
The Academy said that the tolerable upper daily limit of intake was zero. If the National Academy of Sciences is saying the only safe intake of trans fats is zero, and about one-fifth of American trans fat intake is coming from animal products, did they recommend that everyone should eat only vegan? No, they didn't; but why not? They were challenged on it, and one of the authors of the report, a nutritional epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health, responded: "We can't tell people to stop eating all meat and all dairy products. Well, we could tell people to become vegetarians…" He added, "If we were truly basing this on science we would, but it is a bit extreme." Amazing. Wouldn't want scientists to base anything on science, would we?

The aim of the new copyright exemptions, brought into force in October 2014, is to widen the scope for educational purposes, from the use of copyrighted materials in research and study to teaching materials.
The law has also been relaxed regarding the use of copyrighted works for parody. The widening of the scope of permitted use of copyrighted material should not be seen as a narrowing of a copyright owner's protection, but a means of supporting education. All the new provisions are limited by the proviso of 'fair dealing'. This concept limits the exemption to use that is fair and proportionate, ie, ensuring that such use does not materially affect the original work.
Generally, the law has been amended to make it easier for schools and universities to use copy materials for educational and teaching purposes. Individuals are now allowed to make copies of media they have bought, such as e-books and CDs. For the purposes of research and private study, the law has been redrafted to permit reasonable copying of films, broadcasts and sound recordings. Copyrighted works can now be more easily quoted (as long as such quoting is reasonable and fair).
In addition to the educational concessions, third parties are now allowed to use copyrighted material without the need for permission from the copyright owner for use in parody, caricature or pastiche. These new provisions aim to provide guidance and clarity on what constitutes appropriate parody.
The new exemptions are likely to be welcomed by educational institutions, as they relieve some concerns over the risks of modernisation of teaching and study methods. It will be interesting to track how third parties take advantage of this new law in the coming months.

Walk (Road of the Farm Saint-Siméon)
Monet created this work during his stay from the summer to the fall of 1864 in Honfleur in Normandy with Boudin, Jongkind and Bazille. This work is one of the few extant examples of his early work and was created along the farm road that connects Honfleur with Trouville. Farm buildings appear in the distance on the left of the composition. With its subdued tone and dark brown, green and blue coloration, the composition of the 17th-century Dutch landscapes and the works of the Barbizon school artists. The black silhouettes of the trees and the sparkle of light in the viscous brush work on the road indicate a material sensibility like that of Courbet and Diaz. This work was painted in the work of Monet's painter friend Frédéric Bazille, Studio in Furstenberg Street (1866, Musée d'Orsay, Paris), and Monet may have finished the work in Bazille's studio. Monet painted this same motif many times, and two other versions, one that completely reproduces this composition and another work of the same subject in a horizontal composition, are known.

Hard-Headed: Previews And Predictions For Timothy Bradley – Nate Campbell, Devon Alexander – Junior Witter
Posted by Tim Starks on Jul 28, 2009 22:40
For the last month and a half of boxing, the pattern has gone desert/oasis/desert/oasis, and that's going to continue until mid-September. Fortunately, though, Saturday on Showtime we're getting the next little slice of oasis. Four top junior welterweights — two young and hungry, two veteran and crafty — are going to bring some much-needed relief from the oppressive desert heat of the summer doldrums.
In both match-ups — Timothy Bradley-Nate Campbell, Devon Alexander-Junior Witter — the youngsters are the betting favorites. Bradley's at better than 3-1 to win, and Alexander's at nearly 2-1 to win. In each scrap, the younger man has the edge in speed and, well, youth, so I'm not surprised to see them as favorites. But both of the old dudes know how to fight, and they're far more proven commodities against better competition, for better and for worse.
It's hard to say what Alexander-Witter will play out like because Alexander's taking a real step up in class, although he is regarded by many as one of the elite American prospects in the sport. Bradley's already stepped up, and he passed all three of his recent tests with indicators that he could develop into a nice little star, so his bout is easier to envision. I think there's a solid chance we end up with a thirst-quenching pair of closely-contested, skillfully-fought competitions, if not the kind of battles that will keep us from getting parched again before we hit another palm tree/cool pond combo.
Ahhhh. That looks as refreshing as Bradley-Campbell and Alexander-Witter.
DEVON ALEXANDER – JUNIOR WITTER
Count me as a member of the Dan Rafael Devon Alexander Fan Club. I like the kid's skills and his speed. I like his drive. He may not punch all that hard, but he hits hard enough, and he's offensive-minded. The only boring fight I've seen him in were the fault of the other guy more than anything. At 22, he's really taking a huge leap up in class by going at Witter, who's the #3 man in the division according to Ring magazine's rankings.
It just so happens that his last fight was his boringest. Nor did he look particularly sharp. One of his assets is that he punches the body HARD. He really commits. But he didn't throw many body punches against his opponent, Jesus Rodriguez. Rodriguez, as I alluded to, was the one to blame for most of it. He was a very reluctant opponent in there, uncharacteristically. What's worrisome for Alexander in this Witter fight is that some might consider Rodriguez, basically a journeyman (albeit a usually tough one), his best opponent. Otherwise, who is it — a faded DeMarcus Corley, who was in the midst of having lost four of his last six? Corley has rebounded some since, but he wasn't looking like him old self there for a while. Alexander has looked like the goods, but against competition that makes it easier for one to look like the goods.
Of course, you could say the same thing of Bradley before he got a hold of Witter in 2008. Bradley hadn't fought much of anyone, and he beat Witter in part with healthy doses of speed and youth. Witter didn't look tremendous that night, and he says he was not himself because he was worried about his father who was sick with cancer. As in the lead-up to the Bradley bout when Witter was preoccupied with Ricky Hatton, all Witter is talking about now is the next British star he wants to beat, Amir Khan. Witter is 35, older than he was then, and while he knocked out his last opponent with ease, that's what he was there for — the knockout-getting. The parallels are surely why Witter isn't the betting favorite.
But I'm kind of surprised. I thought Witter would be said favorite. He's a difficult opponent who fights in an awkward style, prone as he is to switching from orthodox to southpaw, and does have knockout power. Alexander hasn't fought anyone who punches like Witter, or who is as good as him in just about any way. Witter is good defensively when he decides to be, which is anytime he doesn't showboat by dangling both his hands low. He says he's focused because he knows he may not get another title shot if he loses against Alexander. He, too, beat Corley, if less decisively than Alexander did, but toward the beginning of Corley's losing tailspin instead of the end like Alexander.
Witter is hard-headed in that he stubbornly does things his way and keeps chasing the British star of the moment; Alexander is hard-headed in that he has been pushing for a big fight even at the expense of criticizing his own promoter, Don King, and maybe before he's ready. I'm of the mind that Witter has begun his downward slide. I thought he looked slower in his last fight than ever, with the caveat that he was fighting at welterweight as a possible excuse. It's just that it's two fights in a row where Witter didn't impress me as being his old self, and really, some of his best recent wins may look more impressive than they actually were (Vivian Harris was probably already shot, for instance). If Alexander's chin holds up, I expect him to outwork and out-quick his elder. I'm opting to believe that Alexander, with his hard-headedness, finds a way to keep his chin safe for the most part and holds up to what does land. Alexander by decision. How will it play out? Dunno. Just basing it on the basic dynamic.
TIMOTHY BRADLEY – NATE CAMPBELL
Really, I'm about the only person left who's even remotely skeptical of Bradley at this point, but I am, and I keep paying for it. It's not that he hasn't won me over to a large degree. It's just that I'm not all the way won over. I will say this: If I was making a Gritty List for boxing, I'd definitely put him on it. And, actually, I'd put Campbell on the same list.
Overall, from a talent standpoint, Kendall Holt struck me as the better boxer of the two when he met Bradley in Bradley's last fight. He was faster and hit harder. The real difference in the fight was that Bradley was too tough. Bradley almost got wrecked early in the fight, and a wussier fighter might not have gotten up from that knockdown. Bradley found a way. And once he got up, he stayed on Holt's ass, making him uncomfortable, sometimes with pressure and sometimes with head butts.
Campbell is probably just as hard-headed as Bradley, though. In his best win, dude decided he was going to bang with Juan Diaz and trade punches at the same unbelievable rate or higher that Diaz usually brings. It worked. His toughness was too much for Diaz. In Campbell's most recent fight, he was over the lightweight limit against Ali Funeka and looked drained from trying to get down to 135 after a few rounds. A late knockdown of Funeka probably saved the fight for him as he dug deep to finish strong on the scorecards.
These are two very, very hard-headed men. Both bounce back well from difficulty, both don't enjoy backing up, and both will foul you whatever way they think is necessary to win. So how do things stack up otherwise? I give the better chin to Campbell, whom I've not seen hurt in a fight since he rehabbed his career from a very stupid mistake and a rematch KO loss against a guy who apparently had his number — Robbie Peden. Bradley I have, a few times. Punching power again goes to Campbell. Speed is all Bradley's. Defense is probably about even. Versatility is probably about even. Overall technique goes to Campbell, since Bradley gets a little loose at times. Age is an advantage for Bradley, but then, Campbell is a very well-preserved 37 to Bradley's 25, and Campbell used Diaz' young man's game against him. The fight's on Bradley's home turf in California, so that's another advantage. The wild card in some of this is whether Campbell's chin and power is hurt by the move up, and I say it won't be, because Campbell was a big lightweight.
Bradley probably won't be able to out-tough Campbell, if it comes down to it, so here once again I like the better overall fighter of the two. Campbell is going to punch straighter, is going to hit harder and isn't going to get outhustled. I was wrong about Holt; he had deficiencies I thought he could overcome. I don't think I'm wrong about Campbell. I like Campbell to win by gritty, dirty, closely contested decision.

As Omicron Creeps Into More States, Delta Cases Are Also Rising
As of this report, 17 states have confirmed omicron variant cases. At the same time, the delta variant's grip on the U.S. remains tight as daily case counts are again above 100,000.
The Washington Post: U.S. Cases Top 100,000 Daily As Delta Remains Dominant
The United States is averaging more than 100,000 new coronavirus cases each day for the first time in two months, as the delta variant remains dominant amid fears of the new omicron variant. On Sunday, the seven-day average was more than 118,000 new cases per day, according to a Washington Post tracker. The last time it topped 100,000 was Oct. 6, when the country was averaging more than 101,000 new cases daily. (Pietsch and Timsit, 12/6)
CNBC: Covid Cases On The Rise Again, But It's Still Delta, Not Omicron, Driving The Surge
Even as more and more states report their first cases of the omicron variant, it's still the super contagious delta variant that's driving nearly all new Covid-19 cases in the United States.What's more, it appears cases are once again rising after Thanksgiving. Dr. Michael Saag, an associate dean for global health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, has seen a "notable increase" of Covid patients in need of monoclonal antibody treatments over the past 24 hours.

Forbes: Omicron Detected In These 17 States — Georgia Latest To Report Case
Cases of the recently detected coronavirus variant omicron have been identified in over 40 countries and 17 states as of Sunday — numbers "likely to rise" in the United States, according to the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The state of Georgia confirmed its first omicron case in an Atlanta resident who had recently traveled from South Africa, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Sunday. California was the first state to report a case of omicron Wednesday, and others have subsequently been found in Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.

Newsweek: Rochelle Walensky Warns That Omicron Cases 'Likely To Rise' As U.S. Still Battles Delta
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said Sunday that Omicron coronavirus cases are "likely to rise" as the U.S. is still working to combat a surge of infections from the Delta variant. Walensky told ABC's This Week that the CDC is still working to determine information about Omicron, but maintained that a majority of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. continue to come from the Delta variant of the virus. "We have about 90 to 100,000 cases a day right now in the United States, and 99.9 percent of them are the Delta variant. We have an issue right now with Delta. And we have so many things we can do about Delta, including getting vaccinated and getting boosted," Walenksy said Sunday. (Colarossi, 12/5)
The Wall Street Journal: Clues To Omicron Variant's U.S. Spread Include Test Samples, Sewage
Early this year, the U.S. was publishing some 3,000 virus genome sequences a week, according to CDC data. For the week ended Nov. 20, the U.S. published more than 80,000 sequences, a jump that health authorities and experts credit to increased funding and coordination among states, researchers and federal officials. Between 5% and 10% of positive Covid-19 samples are sequenced in the U.S., according to Kelly Wroblewski, director of infectious diseases at the Association of Public Health Laboratories. "Our surveillance system is well-placed to find it," Ms. Wroblewski said of the Omicron variant. (Abbott, 12/5)

Adulterous Nations
Author: Kuzmic, Tatiana
ISBN: 9780810133983 9780810133990 Year: 2016 DOI: 10.26530/oapen_628775 Language: English
Publisher: Northwestern University Press Grant: Knowledge Unlatched - 100718
In Adulterous Nations, Tatiana Kuzmic enlarges our perspective on the nineteenth-century novel of adultery and how it often served as a metaphor for relationships between the imperial and the colonized. In the context of the long-standing practice of gendering nations as female, the novels discussed—Eliot's Middlemarch, Fontane's Effi Briest, and Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, along with Šenoa's The Goldsmith's Gold and Sienkiewicz's Quo Vadis—can be understood as depicting international crises on the scale of the nuclear family. Kuzmic argues that the hopes, anxieties, and interests of European nations in this period can be discerned in the destabilizing force of adultery. Reading the work of Šenoa and Sienkiewicz, Kuzmic illuminates the relationship between the literature of dominant nations and that of the semicolonized territories that posed a threat to them. Kuzmic's study enhances our understanding of not only these novels but nineteenth-century European literature more generally.
Gaelic Scotland in the Colonial Imagination
Author: Stroh, Silke
Can Scotland be considered an English colony? Is its experience and literature comparable to that of overseas postcolonial countries? Or are such comparisons no more than victimology to mask Scottish complicity in the British Empire and justify nationalism? These questions have been heatedly debated in the aftermath of the 2014 referendum on independence and amid a continuing campaign for more autonomy. Gaelic Scotland in the Colonial Imagination offers an introduction to the emerging field of postcolonial Scottish studies, assessing both its potential and limitations to promote further interdisciplinary dialogue. Accessible to readers from various backgrounds, the book combines overviews of theoretical, social, and cultural contexts with detailed case studies of literary and nonliterary texts. Silke Stroh shows how the image of Scotland's Gaelic margins changed under the influence of the emergence of the modern nation-state and the rise of overseas colonialism.
Privately Empowered
Author: Edwin, Shirin
Privately Empowered responds to the lack of adequate attention paid to Islam in Africa in comparison to the Middle East and the Arab world. Shirin Edwin points to the embrace between Islam and politics that has limited Islamic feminist discourse to regions where it evolves in tandem with the nation-state and is commonly understood in terms of activism, social affiliations, or struggles for legal reform. Edwin examines the novels of Zaynab Alkali, Abubakar Gimba, and Hauwa Ali due to their emphases on personal engagement, Islamic ritual in the quotidian, and observance of Qur'anic injunctions. Analysis of these texts connects the ways Muslim women in northern Nigeria balance their spiritual habits in ever changing configurations of their private domains. The spiritual universe of African Muslim women may be one where Islam is not the source of their problems or their political activity, but a spiritual activity devoid of political forms.

Lo Stato di Bijawar fu uno stato principesco del subcontinente indiano, avente per capitale la città di Bijawar.

Storia
Lo stato prendeva il nome dalla propria capitale, Bijawar, fondata da Bijai Singh, uno dei capi Gond del Garha Mandla, nel XVII secolo. Il primo regnante dello stato fu ad ogni modo Bir Singh Deo (1765–93), un discendente dei Bundela Rajput imparentato coi regnanti dello Stato di Orchha. Lo stato venne conquistato nel XVIII secolo da Chhatarsal, fondatore dello Stato di Panna, un Rajput della dinastia dei Bundela, i cui discendenti tennero il trono locale.

Il Bijawar divenne un protettorato britannico il 27 marzo 1811 con un accordo di alleanza reciproca. Nel 1857 Bhan Pratap Singh rese numerosi servigi di fedeltà agli inglesi nel corso della rivolta del 1857, venendo ricompensato con alcuni privilegi come il saluto militare con 11 colpi di cannone a salve nelle occasioni ufficiali. Nel 1866 ricevette il titolo di maharaja ed il prefisso Sawai nel 1877. Bhan Pratap venne succeduto alla sua morte nel 1899 da suo figlio adottivo, Sanwant Singh, uno dei figli del maharaja di Orchha.

Lo stato entrò a far parte dell'Unione Indiana il 1 gennaio 1950, e divenne parte dello stato del Vindhya Pradesh, che venne unito a formare il Madhya Pradesh il 1 novembre 1956.

How Much Does Air Force One Cost To Build?
Boeing cites "lessons learnt" from the expensive Air Force One contract.13 July 2022: Vice President Joe Biden deplanes from Air Force One at Ben Gurion International Airport in Lod, Israel, near Tel Aviv. LONDON, July 17 (Reuters) – Boeing's military chief stated on Sunday that the company has learnt lessons from a deal to provide the U.S.
Presidency with new Air Force One aircraft, which has cost the planemaker almost $1 billion and has been delayed by up to three years. Ted Colbert did not provide specifics on the lessons learned, but he did say that they had contributed to the new delivery timetable for the two aircraft, which has pushed back deliveries to 2026 and 2027.
Colbert told reporters at a conference before the Farnborough air show, "The lessons learnt are crucial to us, and we will use them moving forward." "We have modified the software. Changes have been made to how we work on the program."
"These are difficult programs, and you learn as you go and modify as necessary," he continued.
Boeing declared a $660 million charge for the program in April, compared to a $318 million charge in April 2021, "primarily due to COVID-19 implications and performance difficulties at a major supplier."
When asked whether Boeing could recover these cost overruns, Colbert responded, "If we can find a way, we will."
In 2018, Boeing was awarded a $3.9 billion contract for the delivery of two 747-8 aircraft beginning in 2024. In December 2016, then-President-elect Donald Trump received a commitment from then-Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg that the replacement of Air Force One would not cost more than $4 billion.
Trump has previously pushed the government not to purchase Boeing's new Air Force One, calling it "crazy" and "extremely costly." In April, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun deemed the transaction worrisome.
Calhoun stated, "Air Force One represents a unique time, negotiation, and combination of risks that Boeing probably should not have accepted." "However, we are where we are, and we will provide excellent aircraft.
And we will acknowledge the costs connected with it."
The Boeing 747-8s are outfitted with military avionics, enhanced communications, and a self-defense system to serve as an airborne White House capable of flying in the most extreme security circumstances, such as nuclear war.

Boeing cites "lessons learnt" from the expensive Air Force One contract.
What is the cost of replacing Air Force One?
Here are the expenses associated with constructing and maintaining Air Force One. President-elect Donald Trump caused controversy on Tuesday when he ordered Boeing to "cancel" President Barack Obama's purchase for a "brand new 747 Air Force One," stating that the business was costing more than $4 billion for a single aircraft.
Trump characterized the prices as "out of control." He stated that the existing Air Force One is enough. In a subsequent discussion with the reporters outside Trump Tower, he stated, "I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number." "We want Boeing to be profitable, but not too profitable." Trump's expense estimate was rather off-base.
According to, it will cost $2.87 billion between fiscal years 2015 and 2021 to construct not one but two new Air Force One planes, both of which are essential so that one may be used while the other is undergoing maintenance. If the project goes into 2021, it would likely require an additional $1 billion to finish.
Air Force One is obviously not an ordinary Boeing aircraft. The presidential aircraft must have particular operational and security characteristics, such as the ability to refuel mid-flight and evade missile assaults, as well as the ability to handle secure video conferences and secret computer access.
In essence, Air Force One is the Oval Office in the sky, which comes at a price. According to Politifact, the aircraft itself accounts for only one-fifth of the entire cost of Air Force One. This is the cost of governing the free world. It is crucial to remember that Obama did not ask for new Air Force One jets for no reason: the present aircraft, which were acquired by Ronald Reagan, are reaching the end of their 30-year lifespan.
Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP Trump criticized Obama in 2014 for allegedly utilizing Air Force One for multimillion-dollar political fundraising trips. In an interview with Fox and Friends at the time, he stated, "He raises a million dollars, it costs between $25 million and $50 million, and the city of New York is shut down." Given that a legislative investigation estimated the hourly expenditures of Air Force One to be $179,750, a fact check concluded that Obama's visits would have cost between $360,000 and $1.6 million.
Trump's criticism of Obama on this grounds has taken on an ironic tone in light of the president-insistence elect's on doing business from Trump Tower, a move that will cost New York City about by the time of his inauguration. In addition to the security presence and demonstrators encircling the building, two of five traffic lanes have been restricted to accommodate the situation.
Trump questioned his aides how many days per week he would be expected to remain in the White House and expressed a desire to spend as much time as possible in New York following his election as president. According to reports, Mr. Trump, who was surprised to win the election, may spend the majority of the week in Washington, much like members of Congress, and return to Trump Tower, his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, or his Mar-a-Lago resort on weekends.
The distinction is that members of Congress are not required to utilize Air Force One. Unlike President Obama, who used Air Force One for legitimate government work, President-elect Trump appears to be considering whether he may use the aircraft to visit his many estates for strictly personal purposes.

On a Tuesday teleconference with reporters, Trump spokesperson Jason Miller attempted to explain the president-reasoning elect's for "cancelling" the new Air Force Ones, according to The Washington Post. Miller stated, "I believe this demonstrates the president-commitment elect's to reducing expenses across the board with respect to government expenditure." "I believe that people are really dissatisfied with some of the high price tags for programs, including this one.
Therefore, we will seek for areas where we may reduce expenses and for strategies to save money ": Air Force One expenses: Here's how much it costs to build and maintain the president's jet.
In 2021, how much will the Air Force One project cost?

In a subsequent discussion with the reporters outside Trump Tower, he stated, "I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number." "We want Boeing to be profitable, but not too profitable." Trump's expense estimate was rather off-base.

Muktinath is a pilgrimage shrine located 140 miles from Kathmandu in the snow clad Himalayas. It is located near the Gandaki river famous for the Salagrama stones. River Gandaki is also known as Narayani or Salagrami. Muktinath is also one of the 51 Sakthi Peethams of India. About 16 miles from Muktinath is the Damodara Kundam, the source of this river. The Salagrama stones held in worship are found in this part of Nepal.
There is no firm agreement on the whereabouts of the Sree Vaishnava Divya Desam Tiruchaalagramam. One school of thought considers Muktinath in the snow clad Himalayas in Nepal to be Salagramam, while another considers the bank of the Gandaki river enroute to Muktinath from Kathmandu as Tiruchaalagraamam.
From Delhi, conducted tours are available to Salagram. However, if you want to go on your own, you can go to Sunoli in India - Nepal Border via Gorakhpur, either by train upto Gorakhpur or by bus to Sunoli directly. From Sunoli you have to cross the border by walk or by rickshaw. Then you can take a bus to Pokhara which cost around Rs 150/- nepali rupees. This journey takes around 9 hours.
From Pokhara you can go by air to Jomsom. This takes around 20 minutes and costs Rs 1200/-approx.Please go by Shangrila Air and not by Royal Nepal Airlines. From Jomsom Muktinath(Salagram) is around 22km, which you have to trek. The time for this trek depends on how old or young you are and can vary from 7 hours to 10 hours.
From Pokhara you can go by bus to a place known as Beni which takes 5 hrs by bus and from there you can trek to Salagram. But this trekking takes around 5 - 6 days.
c) you can hear the river Saraswati flowing under the earth. (It is not known how Saraswati came here, but the panditji there claims that she descended to earth through this place).
From Muktinath, Damodar kund is around 2 days trekking , but there are no food available on the way and one has to go prepared.
If you go on your own, food will be a problem right from Jom som till you reach salagram. But you can enjoy nature, and you can look for salagram in river kandaki. Or else you buy salagram from the shops enroute.
Best season is during March- April. Please avoid rainy season from June - July.
When you are in Nepal you can also visit Janakpur.

In Michigan the Republicans took control of our state government some 4 years back when Rick Snyder was elected governor.
In that short time they have managed to create a $500 million deficit for the upcoming year. This was accomplished by cutting taxes for the wealthy few and convincing the general public that we had to do away with a tax on personal property.
Michigan's roads, like most of the country, have been ignored for years. So what do the Republicans do?
In addition to increasing fees on many small businesses, they call for a ballot measure to increase the state sales tax. They fear the Grover Norquist branch of their party too much to do the right thing themselves.
The increase on fees to small businesses could possibly put Snyder on the do not dine here list at Tommy Brann's restaurant in Wyoming Michigan that has banned Michael Moore and Seth Rogen, but that is another story.
This action ties in with Republican states nationwide in their efforts at taxing the poor to benefit the rich.
There is a vote scheduled for May 5th of this year to raise the sales tax. The people supporting this vote are suggesting it will make for safer roads and as a bonus, some of the monies raised will go to the schools. If you believe that, money going to the schools, ask yourself, where did all that lottery money go?
This is a regressive tax that will create more suffering by the hard working, taxpaying middle class than on the affluent ones our state government is so concerned about.
So all my friends in Michigan, I am urging you to vote NO on this tax increase.
Yesterday I posted my interpretation of liberty. The posting was in response to a discussion on social media that I was involved in. My latest reply on that site will be shared here for those that do not have access to it.
We all give up liberties in our lives. Some give up liberties to belong to and adhere to the rules of religious sects or organizations. Some give up liberties to work in a certain occupation.
However, will fully giving up liberties is a far cry from having your liberties taken from you by government laws and regulations.
Three that come to mind this morning are: The right to vote, the right to peacefully assemble and free speech and women's right to choose.
These three liberties are under constant attack today by the radicals in our governments from the local to the national level and we must all continue in our efforts to remove these scoundrels from office.
Get involved and stay involved they are not backing off from their attacks.
While I am personally unhappy with these results, I actually look at this as a positive thing. This vote took place in Tennessee; a red state that voted for Romney 59.5 percent to Obama's 39 percent. A state that has citizens who grew up being taught that unions were communists'.
The workers were threatened with a loss of jobs and the company was threatened with a loss of government support. These threats came from elected government officials. The legality of these threats is questionable and may have repercussions.
The outside efforts to defeat the union in this election included non other than political gadfly Grover Norquist. This character went so far as to put up a billboard indicating the demise of Detroit came about because of the UAW. Norquist overlooked the fact that when GM and Chrysler were both going belly up and had to be bailed out by the federal government it was the management team that was called to D.C. He overlooks the fact that Ford was working with the same union workforce and survived the disaster unscathed. The only difference was management.
The results of 53 percent to 47 percent under these conditions are good news. Not long ago the union would have been lucky to get 20 percent support in this location.
We are moving in the right direction my friends and victory is in sight.
Good News! The fun continues!
Four or five days back a blog titled Rosemary's Baby on this site talked about how the Republicans had created a monster called the tea party. The closing suggested getting some popcorn and enjoy the show about to begin.
Tim Skubick, a political columnist for M-live and host of local PBS show "Off the record", wrote a column dealing with last week's show featuring Cindy Camrat, a self-described tea party leader in the Michigan tea party movement. The column described the show accurately discussing the division not only among Republicans but also among tea party folk.
The comments that follow the column display the wrangling in all its glory. Here is the link if you want to see some of the comments.
This is just local stuff in Michigan, the national scene has similar actions with sides being drawn already. New Jersey Governor Chris Christy just backed off on banning gay marriage in his state. This action pleased the big money Wall Street Republicans but may not rest well with the evangelicals in the south. How long before Christy steps over the line to please the Wall Street gang and pisses off Limbaugh enough to call him a RINO? We are also following the scuffle between Glen Beck and Grover Norquist.
Enjoy the show my friends, it will be bloody but not lengthy.
At this time I am going to make a prediction, you may want to bookmark this page or put it in your memory folder. Check back in a couple years because sometime prior to the next presidential election the tea party will be shuffled off into a quiet little cubby somewhere. The powers that be will see to it. They have performed the function they were asked to do and are no longer needed.
Like my mom used to say "Mark my words". The tea party is doomed and headed for extinction.

U.S. may make security deal after Karzai leaves
Feb 11, 2014, 2:08 AM EST
Frustrated about prospects of getting Afghan President Hamid Karzai to sign a long-term security deal, the United States is considering waiting until he leaves office before completing the pact and deciding on a troop presence beyond 2014, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. "If he's not going to be part of the solution, we have to have a way to get past him," the Journal quoted a senior U.S. official as saying. "It's a pragmatic recognition that clearly Karzai may not sign the (deal) and that he doesn't represent the voice of the Afghan people." The White House, asked about the report, said it was standing by its previous comments on the issue.

After Pakistan, US follows suit, plasma treatment authorized for COVID-19 patients
More than 70,000 patients in the U.S. have been given convalescent plasma, a century-old approach to fend off flu and measles before vaccines.
American authorities announced on Sunday an emergency authorization for doctors to use blood plasma from recovered coronavirus patients as a treatment against the disease that has killed over 176,000 in the US.
US authorizes plasma treatment against virushttps://t.co/1Oao8mo5Jr pic.twitter.com/VXrzwMq0YJ
— The Times Of India (@timesofindia) August 24, 2020
The move by the Food and Drug Administration comes as President Donald Trump faces intense pressure to curb the contagion that has hobbled the world's largest economy and clouded his once-promising prospects for re-election in November.
Plasma may help infected individuals in the fight against coronavirus
The plasma is believed to contain powerful antibodies that can help fight off the disease faster and help protect people from being seriously hurt by it.

"This product may be effective in treating COVID-19 and… the known and potential benefits of the product outweigh the known and potential risks of the product," FDA said in a statement.
While the treatment has already been used on patients in the United States and other nations, the extent of its effectiveness is still debated by experts and some have warned that it could carry side effects.
"Convalescent plasma probably works — though it still needs to be proven in clinical trials — but not as a rescue treatment for people who are already severely ill," said Len Horovitz, a pulmonary specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.

He said that plasma would likely work much better right after a person was exposed to the virus, when the body is trying to neutralize the infection — the problem being that plasma supplies are limited, meaning it would be difficult to get enough to treat everyone in early stages of the disease.
Trump facing a tough re-election promotes plasma as a cure for COVID
President Donald Trump on Sunday announced emergency authorization to treat COVID-19 patients with convalescent plasma — a move he called "a breakthrough," one of his top health officials called "promising" and other health experts said needs more study before it's celebrated.

The announcement came after White House officials complained there were politically motivated delays by the Food and Drug Administration in approving a vaccine and therapeutics for the disease that has upended Trump's reelection chances.
On the eve of the Republican National Convention, Trump put himself at the center of the FDA's announcement of the authorization at a news conference Sunday evening. The authorization makes it easier for some patients to obtain the treatment but is not the same as full FDA approval.
The blood plasma, taken from patients who have recovered from the coronavirus and rich in antibodies, may provide benefits to those battling the disease. But the evidence so far has not been conclusive about whether it works, when to administer it and what dose is needed.

In a letter describing the emergency authorization, the chief scientist for the FDA, Denise Hinton, said: "COVID-19 convalescent plasma should not be considered a new standard of care for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. Additional data will be forthcoming from other analyses and ongoing, well-controlled clinical trials in the coming months."
But Trump had made clear to aides that he was eager to showcase good news in the battle against the virus, and the timing allowed him to head into his convention with momentum. He and aides billed it as a "major" development and used the White House briefing room to make the announcement.
Trump also displayed some rare discipline in the evening news conference, sticking to his talking points, deferring to the head of the FDA, Stephen Hahn, and only taking three questions from reporters.
Trump told reporters the therapy shows "an incredible rate of success" and "will save countless lives", but this went much further than his own health officials' cautious welcome of the treatment.
Challenged by a reporter to explain the apparent contradiction, Trump passed the question to one of his experts, then ended the press conference.
The FDA already allowed convalescent plasma transfusions for coronavirus patients under certain conditions, such as clinical trials and gravely ill people.

The Washington Post said that over 70,000 virus patients in the US have received such a transfusion.
Trump has been widely criticized for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic in the US, which remains the world leader in infections and fatalities.
He faces a tough re-election battle against Democratic challenger Joe Biden, with no effective treatment or vaccine expected before the vote on November 3.

Oceana opposes Trump administration's offshore drilling proposals
In light of BP explosion anniversary, Oceana offers recommendations

By Melissa Murphy | mmurphy@santacruzsentinel.com | Santa Cruz Sentinel
Oceana, the largest international advocacy organization dedicated to ocean conservation, accuses President Trump of working to weaken key safety and environmental protections currently in place, while also proposing to "radically expand" offshore drilling activities.
A report from Oceana, which has an office in Monterey County, released to the public Thursday comes just two days before the ninth anniversary of the explosion of the BP Deepwater Horizon, which killed 11 people and caused the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
More than 200 million gallons of oil spilled over the 87 days it took to cap the well. The disaster wreaked havoc on the Gulf of Mexico coast.
Since then, the Trump Administration proposes expanding drilling.
In January 2018, then-Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced plans to offer new leases offshore of the West Coast, the Atlantic Coast, the Gulf coast and Alaska, saying the move would create jobs and was part of "a new path for energy dominance in America."
The Department of the Interior is in the process of completing a new draft of a proposed lease plan, which is expected to respond to public comments submitted last year.
The federal government shutdown temporarily suspended most work on the document, but once released it will prompt another 90-day comment period before further review.
"It's reckless and wrong," said Diane Hoskins, campaign director at Oceana, during a phone interview Wednesday. She added that it's Oceana's desire to see Trump halt efforts to rollback the few safety measures that were put in place following the BP disaster and to take all new areas of offshore drilling off the table.
She explained that there hasn't been an expansion of offshore drilling on the California coast in more than 30 years.
"We cannot afford another environmental catastrophe," Hoskins said.
She noted that oil from the BP incident in 2010 reached 1,300 miles off shoreline. However, even the Gulf communities the oil didn't reach were still hit with a decline in tourism and real estate values, among other impacts. Besides the 11 human lives that were lost, wildlife were also killed including sea turtles, dolphins and fish.
"This is a painful reminder of what's at stake," Hoskins said of the latest proposals.
These efforts include weakening the Well Control Rule that was enacted in response to the BP catastrophe by removing requirements for Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement-approved independent verification organizations; weakening real-time monitoring of offshore operations by on-shore monitors; and watering down testing requirements for critical safety devices like blowout preventers, Oceana reported.
The bureau estimates the proposed safety rollbacks will save the offshore oil and gas industry about $824 million for 10 years.
"Focusing on industry cost-savings, however, disregards the safety and environmental benefits the rule was intended to provide in the first place," according to Ocean's report. "Moreover, BP's estimated losses due to the Deepwater Horizon disaster amounted to more than $60 billion, or more than 70 times the estimated 10-year savings from decreasing safety standards.
"This focus on short-term cost savings to industry is shortsighted and does not ensure offshore drilling safety," the report continued.
"Less safety and more drilling is a recipe for disaster," Hoskins said in a prepared statement. "President Trump must drastically reverse course in order to prevent another BP Deepwater Horizon-like disaster. We should not be expanding dirty and dangerous offshore drilling to new areas when there's overwhelming bipartisan opposition. We should be strengthening safety, not further weakening the few safety measures currently in place.
"Coastal communities and our environment cannot afford another environmental catastrophe, which is where we are headed under President Trump's proposals," she continued. "It's time for President Trump to stand with coastal communities, not the oil and gas industry."
Oceana recommendations
Overarching issues with the regulation of offshore oil and gas operations continue to compromise safety and environmental protection, reported Oceana. Instead of weakening key safety measures already in place, Oceana said safety reforms should be implemented to prevent another environmental catastrophe.
Oceana made the following recommendations:
President Trump should direct his administration to halt all efforts to expand offshore drilling
activities to new areas and abandon attempts to weaken safety regulations.
BSEE should seek transformative changes to industry's safety culture through greater inspections and enforcement and by reducing reliance on industry-written standards.
Congress must substantially increase financial penalties for safety violations to disincentivize dangerous, non-compliant behavior and ensure that risk-taking is no longer profitable.
Congress must require accurate oil spill reporting, establish penalties for under-reporting, increase federal resources and research new clean-up technologies.
The United States must shift to renewable energy sources like offshore wind.
Polling last July found California's registered voters broadly opposed to more drilling off the coast, with significant objections from Republicans as well as Democrats.
Overall, 66% opposed new rigs, including 82% of Democrats, 40% of Republicans and 66% of independents, according to the survey by the Public Policy Institute of California. Majorities of both coastal and inland voters opposed more drilling.
Oceana is expecting the revised federal proposal on the areas that the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management recommends for development to be released anytime now, at which point the 90-day public comment period would begin for people to express their opinions.
If the drilling does move forward, oil rigs would be erected in federal waters, 3 nautical miles off shore.
"That's cold comfort for coastal communities, oil spills don't respect those lines," Hoskins said.

I am always excited to find new products that help keep trash out of landfills. Switching from plastic baggies and bags to cloth ones not only keeps plastic out of landfills but also saves you money on disposable bag purchases. Reusies are reusable bags that come in two sizes but are adjustable to make a variety of sizes.
There are many reusable cloth bags on the market today but I discovered some great features that make Reusies a great find. First of all, the bags have an additional piece of Velcro on the back which allows you to adjust the size. It also is great for folding and securing the closure flap to create an open pouch making it easier to remove food. Another great feature is that the bags don't require any special laundering. They can be machine washed and dried or even placed in the dishwasher for cleaning.
ReUsies are made from 100% cotton making them free of BPA and phthalates. They are also CPSIA compliant and meet the FDA standards for food safety, which makes them perfect for lunches and snacks.
Reusies are available for purchase online and locally at The Sterling House on Oleander Drive. They range in price from $5 for single bags to $32 for a set of four.
