The InvisiblesIn this superb work of investigative reporting, Zia Jaffrey pursues the riddle of India's most elusive subculture, the cross dressing and often castrated figures known as "hijras" whose very name means neither male nor female. Are the hijras lucky or dangerous? Are they a nurturing community of outcasts or a criminal network that kidnaps and mutilates recruits? Do they number in the thousands or in the millions?

In this superb work of investigative reporting, Zia Jaffrey pursues the riddle of India's most elusive subculture, the cross-dressing and often-castrated figures known as "hijras" whose very name means neither male nor female. Are the hijras lucky or dangerous? Are they a nurturing community of outcasts or a criminal network that kidnaps and mutilates recruits? Do they number in the thousands or in the millions? As she talks with policemen, a unionizer of eunuchs, and with the hijras themselves, Jaffrey unravels veils of rumor and deception to locate the nature of our sexual and social thresholds, and the people who dwell on them. Deeply resonant, uniquely insightful, The Invisibles is an enthralling work.

No more sunscreen in our hair!
Style: NEUTROGENA SHEER ZINC, Size: 1.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The only kids sunscreen stick I've found that actually glides on. After struggling with too-hard sticks and messy lotions, this is so easy to apply to my wiggling toddler. And the large size makes application to the whole body a breeze. This is perfect to keep in the diaper bag and quickly reapply for the whole family.

Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Mineral Sunscreen Stick - Gentle Protection for Little On
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I purchased the Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Mineral Sunscreen Stick with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 & Zinc Oxide for both of my grandbabies, and it has been a wonderful addition to our sun protection routine. The sunscreen stick is easy to apply, especially on squirmy little ones, and provides effective broad-spectrum protection. One of the things I love most about this sunscreen is that it's formulated with zinc oxide, which is gentle on their delicate skin. I also appreciate that it's free of fragrances, parabens, and other harsh chemicals, making it suitable for their sensitive skin. The compact size of the sunscreen stick makes it convenient to carry in a diaper bag or purse, ensuring that we always have sun protection on hand when we're out and about. Plus, the stick form makes it easy to apply precisely, avoiding the eyes and mouth. Overall, I highly recommend the Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Mineral Sunscreen Stick to parents and grandparents looking for a gentle yet effective sunscreen for their little ones. It's become a staple in our outdoor adventures, and I'm sure it will be in yours too.

So much easier to apply
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 2)
These are small for the price but man oh man does it make it easier! My daughter is allergic to most sunscreens so this is our go to kind however I hate how hard it is to get off of your hands after using the lotion form. This is so much neater and it doesn't get all over me. It also doesn't seem to stain the suits - or is just easier to avoid getting on suits - than the lotion form. It does the same great job of preventing sunburn. Makes reapplication so much better because you don't end up with sand all over you - since you couldn't rinse off the lotion the first time around.
