Tests of the policy are underway in some small airports around the country, and DHS Secretary John Kelly recently said that “we might, and likely will” apply the policy nationwide.

Public libraries are places of joy, freedom, community and discovery – and right now they are under threat from funding cuts and widespread closures across the UK and further afield. The stories in Ali Smith’s new collection are about what we do with books and what they do with us: how they travel with us how they shock us, change us, challenge us, banish time while making us older, wiser and ageless all at once how they remind us to pay attention to the world we make. What does the unravelling of our tradition of public libraries, so hard-won but now in jeopardy, say about us? What do the books we’ve read over our lives – our own personal libraries – make of us?

This living vinegar is tastier, healthier - and can give you better bragging rights - than the expensive pasteurized product you're likely to find in gourmet food stores. I'm on a quest to make my own vinegar, the kind that must be consumed quickly while at its peak acidity level, or fed at regular intervals to keep it alive. At least before it's pasteurized - a step taken by most manufacturers to make vinegar shelf stable.
