Devolution, gloved, feeding shut-ins, a courier gloves up for. It’s Gloves Off.

For Rare Book Librarians, It’s Gloves Off. Seriously.

When handling rare books, experts say that bare, just-cleaned hands are best. Why won’t the public believe them?

After New York City banned dining in restaurants, a courier gloves up for a vital real-time experiment in safely feeding shut-ins.









More and more, the news is beginning to read like fiction. Based on the (pretty extensive) research he’s done for his books, apocalyptic auteur Max Brooks (author of World War Z, Germ Warfare and the forthcoming novel Devolution) told Terry Gross that the U.S. government did not react quickly or forcefully enough to quell the real-life pandemic. “I think there are massive gaps in our systems that are being exposed right now, which, by the way, this is not news to the experts.”




Now, though, we know that there will be a third option. Mr Salmond used his conference speech to throw his weight behind a three-question plebiscite – with the third option providing for what is called “devolution max”. The implication is that the return to Scotland of full control over the economy, spending, taxation and borrowing would represent a moderate third way.
不過，現在我們知道，還會有第三個選項。薩爾蒙德在上述年度大會的講話中，全力倡導帶有三個選項的全民公決。這第三個選項即是所謂的“最大限度移交權力”。言下之意是：英國政府把對蘇格蘭經濟、支出、稅收和舉債的控制權完全交還給蘇格蘭，代表著溫和的“第三條路”。
