nipped out
wearing their slippers to the shops, but welfare officers in north Dublin are, it appears,
fed up with
what has been branded "pajamafication". In a community welfare office near Blanchards town where unemployed people can make appointments to seek advances or supplements to benefits payments, an official warning has now been posted. "Please be advised," it says, "that pajamas are not regarded as appropriate attire when attending these offices."
And that was Andy Martin reporting. And that's the BBC News.

President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria has challenged the Islamist militant group Boko Haram to identify themselves and clearly state their demands as a basis for dialogue. He said military intervention was not the sole means of ending the conflict.
尼日利亚总统古德勒克·乔纳森要求伊斯兰博科圣地军事组织明确自身,并明确表示这是进行对话的基础。他说军事干预并不是结束冲突的唯一手段。
"The military confrontation is required now because you must reduce it by all means, but military confrontation alone will not eliminate terror attack. Your superior intelligence and providing enabling environment for young people to have jobs."
“目前的军事对抗是必须的,因为无论如何都要减少冲突,但是单靠军事对抗并不能消除恐怖袭击。要提供良好的环境,使年轻人有工作可做。”
