Selectmen reorganized their board last night, electing to keep Keith R. Barrows in place as chairman and welcoming newcomer Elizabeth Hunt to her position on the board.
Ms. Hunt was recently elected to fill the vacancy left by the death of Selectman Walter J. Moriarity last year.
The board set the date for the three Proposition 2-1/2 overrides for capital exclusions: July 19 from noon to 4 p.m. at Toy Town Elementary School on Grove Street.
The shortened voting hours were put in place in an attempt to reduce election costs. Selectman Burton E. Gould Jr. said the town could save close to $1,500.
Voters decided during town meeting last week to take the override requests to the polls.
The projects include repairs to the sidewalk at Memorial Elementary School for $35,800, the purchase of a maintenance vehicle at $32,750 and the money to pay for a flashing school safety sign at $11,460.
The School Department already has $9,675 set aside for additional funding for the sign.
Selectmen say the overrides would cost about $26 in extra taxes on a property valued at $200,000, and the additional cost would last for only one year.
Cynthia LaFreniere, a representative of Life Skills, a group that helps handicapped women, came before the board seeking a permit for a bottle drive and tag sale to be held on town property at Spring Street and Route 202 on Saturday.
Ms. LaFreniere said she had spoken to the owner of the private property across the street from the site and he did not mind if there is a parking overflow on his land during the sale.
Town Manager James M. Kreidler Jr. cautioned selectmen about possible insurance liability from allowing town property to be used by private parties. �Especially with the water right there,� he said.
He then suggested that it would be better if the group used the private property that had been mentioned instead of the town property.
After noting to his fellow selectmen that the town manager was right in alerting the group to the risks involved, Mr. Barrows said, �It�s what we pay him to do.�
Selectmen then voted in favor of allowing the group to use the town property, and waived the permit fee.
Despite the board�s decision, Mr. Kreidler said he would continue to look into the possibility of the group using the private property across the street.
Following the vote, Selectman Corey Bohan said he would no longer vote in favor of permit fee waivers.
�We are in tight financial straits and I do not feel in my gut that it is right to be turning down permit fees,� said Mr. Bohan.
After Mr. Bohan�s statement, the board went on to approve permits for the Kiwanis club to hold its 24th annual Chili Cook Off on Aug. 2 and for the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church to hold its festival and Casino Night fundraiser on June 13, 14, and 15, and waived the permit fees for both.
Mr. Bohan held to his word and voted against the fee waivers, despite Mr. Gould�s warning to him that by going against the church he was risking eternal damnation.
In other business, the board appointed Mr. Bohan to a three-year term on the Historical Commission.
When questioned why he wanted to serve on the commission, Mr. Bohan said, �I�d like to help the Historical Commission in any way I can to help preserve Winchendon�s history.�

1 Introduction
The study of fractional-order differential equations supplemented with a variety of initial and boundary conditions, such as classical, nonlocal, multi-point, periodic/anti-periodic, and integral boundary conditions, has attracted significant attention in recent years. In consequence, the literature on the topic is now much enriched and covers theoretical aspects as well as analytic/numerical methods for solving fractional-order initial and boundary value problems. The widespread applications of fractional calculus modeling techniques in several disciplines of applied and technical sciences have played a key role in the popularity of the subject. Examples include viscoelasticity, control theory, biological sciences, ecology, aerodynamics, electro-dynamics of complex medium, environmental issues, etc. An important and useful feature characterizing fractional-order differential and integral operators (in contrast to integer-order operators) is their nonlocal nature that accounts for the past and hereditary behavior of materials and processes involved in the real world problems. For examples and details, we refer the reader to the works [1–5].
Nonlocal conditions, introduced by Bitsadze and Samarskii [6], are regarded as more plausible than the classical initial/boundary conditions in view of their ability to describe certain peculiarities of chemical, physical or other processes happening inside the domain. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies of blood flow indicate that it is not always possible to assume circular cross-section of blood arteries. Several approaches have been proposed to resolve this issue. However, the idea of introducing integral boundary conditions [7] is found to be quite a productive one. Also, integral boundary conditions are applied to regularize ill-posed parabolic backward problems in time partial differential equations, see, for example, mathematical models for bacterial self-regularization [8]. Some recent results on fractional-order boundary value problems involving nonlocal and integral boundary conditions can be found in [9–20] and the references cited therein.
The content of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 is devoted to some basic concepts and a lemma concerning the unique solution of a linear variant of problem (1.1)-(1.2). In Section 3, we present our main results which are obtained via Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, Schauder type fixed point theorem, nonlinear alternative for single-valued maps and Banach's theorem. It is imperative to note that the exposition of indicated tools of fixed point theory is new in the context of problem (1.1)-(1.2). Finally, we discuss some examples for illustration of the main results.
2 Preliminaries
First of all, we recall some basic definitions.
Definition 2.1
Definition 2.2
Next we present an auxiliary lemma to define the solution for problem (1.1)-(1.2).
Lemma 2.3
Substituting the values of \(c_{0}\), \(c_{1}\) in (2.4), we get (2.2). This completes the proof. □
3 Main results
Now we state the known fixed point results which we need in the forthcoming analysis.
Lemma 3.1
(Krasnoselskii [21])
Let \(\mathcal{Q}\) be a closed, convex, bounded and nonempty subset of a Banach space Y. Let \(\mathcal{\phi}_{1}\), \(\mathcal{\phi}_{2}\) be operators such that (a) \(\mathcal{\phi}_{1}\nu_{1}+\mathcal{\phi}_{2}\nu_{2} \in\mathcal{Q}\) whenever \(\nu_{1},\nu_{2} \in\mathcal{Q}\); (b) \(\mathcal{\phi}_{1}\) is compact and continuous; and (c) \(\mathcal{\phi}_{2}\) is a contraction mapping. Then there exists \(\nu\in\mathcal{Q}\) such that \(\nu=\mathcal{\phi}_{1}\nu+\mathcal{\phi}_{2}\nu\).
Lemma 3.2
Let X be a Banach space. Assume that \(T:X\longrightarrow X\) is a completely continuous operator and the set \(V=\{u\in X|u=\epsilon Tu,0<\epsilon<1\} \) is bounded. Then T has a fixed point in X.
Lemma 3.3
(Nonlinear alternative for single-valued maps [22])
- (i)
\(\mathcal{U}\) has a fixed point in V̅, or
- (ii)
there is \(x\in\partial V \) (the boundary of V in \(E_{1} \)) and \(\kappa\in(0,1) \) with \(x=\kappa\) \(\mathcal{U} (x) \).
Our first existence result is based on Lemma 3.1.
Theorem 3.4
- (\({\mathcal{H}}_{1}\)):
\(|f(t,x) -f(t,y)|\leq \ell|x-y|\), \(\ell >0\), \(\forall t\in[0,1]\), \(x,y\in\mathbb{R}\);
- (\({\mathcal{H}}_{2}\)):
\(|f(t,x)|\leq \omega(t) \), \(\forall(t,x)\in[0,1] \times\mathbb{R}\), \(\omega\in C([0,1], \mathbb{R^{+}})\).
In the next result, we make use of Lemma 3.2.
Theorem 3.5
Assume that there exists a positive constant \(L_{1}\) such that \(|f(t,x)|\leq L_{1} \) for all \(t\in[0,1] \), \(x\in\mathcal{C} \). Then there exists at least one solution for problem (1.1)-(1.2).
The following theorem deals with the uniqueness of solutions for problem (1.1)-(1.2).
Theorem 3.6
Let \(f:[0,1]\times\mathbb {R}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a continuous function satisfying the condition (\({\mathcal{H}}_{1}\)) and that \(\ell\vartheta_{1}<1\), where \(\vartheta_{1}\) is given by (3.2). Then there exists a unique solution for problem (1.1)-(1.2) on \([0, 1]\).
Our final result relies on Lemma 3.3 (nonlinear alternative for single-valued maps).
Theorem 3.7
- (\({\mathcal{H}}_{3}\)):
there exist a function \(p\in\mathcal{C} ([0,1], \mathbb{R^{+}})\) and a nondecreasing function \(\varphi:\mathbb{R^{+}}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R^{+}}\) such that \(|f(t,x)|\leq p(t)\varphi(\|x\|) \), \(\forall(t,x) \in[0,1]\times\mathbb{R}\);
- (\({\mathcal{H}}_{4}\)):
there exists a constant \(M>0 \) such that$$\begin{aligned} &M \biggl[\varphi(M)\|p\| \biggl\{ \frac{1}{\Gamma(q+1)}+\frac{|\delta |\sigma ^{q}}{|1-\delta|\Gamma(q+1)} + \biggl(\frac{|\delta|\sigma}{|\mathcal{A}(1-\delta)|}+\frac {1}{|\mathcal {A}|} \biggr) \\ &\quad{}\times \biggl(|a|\frac{\varrho_{1}^{q-\mu}}{\Gamma(q-\mu+1)}+|b|\frac {\varrho _{2}^{q-\mu}}{\Gamma(q-\mu+1)}+|c| \frac{({\beta_{2}}^{q-\mu+1} -{\beta_{1}}^{q-\mu+1})}{\Gamma(q-\mu+2)} \biggr) \biggr\} \biggr]^{-1}>1. \end{aligned}$$

INDIAN LAND – An Indian Land girl won big with a pen of hens she raised for a 4-H project.
Allie Siceloff, a second-grader at Indian Land Elementary/Middle School, participated in this year's 4-H Poultry Project. For the project, she was given 25 chicks and was responsible for feeding them and recording their growth and progress in a journal.
Another case of MRSA has been reported in the Lancaster County School District.
The latest case reported is at South Middle School, bringing the total of known cases in the school district to eight.
School District spokesman David Knight confirmed the case Monday afternoon. He wouldn't say whether it involved a student or member of staff. He said providing additional information about whether the case is a student or staffer could lead others to deduce the identity of the person.

If you're having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit, try a family night out to see "Scrooge! – the Musical." Familiar characters, such as Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, are coming to life on stage.
The Community Playhouse of Lancaster County's winter production, based on the classic Charles Dickens' story, "A Christmas Carol," opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Stevens Auditorium at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster.
The armed robbery happened so quickly that Crystal Robinson says she didn't have time to think.
Just after 7 a.m. Monday, two men entered the Meeting Street Express convenience store and took a bag of money from Robinson, the store manager.
Robinson was behind the counter and bent down to open the safe when the men walked in.
One pointed a black gun at her and told her not to move, and the other man went behind the counter and took the money, she said.
They then left out the back door.
Robinson said the robbery lasted less than a minute.
KERSHAW – Kershaw Mayor Tommy Baker called a special meeting on Monday to address the hiring of a employee for the town's wastewater treatment plant, an issue that has divided council.
Baker requested the meeting to address controversy fanned by a Kershaw News-Era article two weeks ago that focused on a possible illegal move by council on Nov. 5 to allow a department head to hire a wastewater treatment plant operator.
"According to what the newspaper said, we were in violation of an ordinance," Baker said Monday.
CAMDEN – Thanksgiving Day was a very special one this year for Sampson Parker.
Parker, 44, was involved in a horrific accident on his 50-acre farm just north of Camden on Sept. 11. He lost most of his right arm, but he's very thankful to the two Kershaw residents who came to his aid that day.
During Thanksgiving dinner, Parker's family had a special prayer. "My wife thanked God that I am still alive," he said.
VAN WYCK – Van Wyck's downtown of mostly older homes and quiet streets will remain intact for now.
County Council voted down a rezoning request Monday night that would have allowed businesses on a few acres at the corner of Steele Hill and Old Hickory roads.
The rezoning request had been on council's past two agendas, but property owner Glen Small requested that it be removed both times. Still, Van Wyck residents came to the council meetings each time to speak against the rezoning.

Residents with emergencies may use cell phones to call 911. If a resident does not have a cell phone, he or she may go to the nearest
After many years of offering first- and second-rate bed and bath linens for Springs employees and the general public, the Springs-Wamsutta store on S.C. 9 will soon close.
Springs Global Senior Vice President of Human Resources Roland Myers said Monday that the reason is the massive reduction of the company's manufacturing operations in the United States. With virtually no domestic manufacturing, there aren't enough products to ship to the store.

Blackadder Goes Forth Review
The Programme
Throughout history one family have come to represent all that is great and courageous about the British people. That family certainly isn't Blackadder, but they've been in the middle of many great historic moments. From the first Blackadder – back in the times of the Wars of the Roses, through Elizabethan and Regency periods, the Blackadders have always been cowards and cynics. The fourth appearance of Blackadder was Captain Edmund Blackadder who joined the British army when it involved strutting round Africa killing the locals, but now finds himself stuck in a trench on the Western Front in 1917, with thousands of heavily armed enemy soldiers waiting to kill him.
The battlefields of World War 1 would hardly seem the ideal place to locate a comedy. But obviously this is the ideal location for the cynical wit of Edmund Blackadder. Not including the snivelling weasel that was the original Blackadder, throughout history he has always been cynical and sarcastic, becoming more so throughout the series (and history). And what better place for a cynic than in the middle of one of the most pointless wars in all history?
Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) and his ever-present sidekick Baldrick (Tony Robinson) are their usual selves, exchanging some of the funniest dialogue of all four series. Additionally, the other players are probably the finest characters from any series. Stephen Fry is magnificent as General Sir Anthony Hogmanay Melchett, perfectly portraying the upper class arrogant and incompetent military leader, if being 35 miles behind the front line troops is actually "leading". Hugh Laurie's George is the upper class twit who's so eager to fight for his country that he doesn't quite understand the predicament they are all in. And after missing out Blackadder The Third, Tim McInnerny returns as Captain Kevin Darling, Melchett's lackey and always suspicious that Blackadder is up to something to try to get himself out of the war. Which he usually is.
The episodes are:
Captain Cook
Field Marshal Haig's latest battle plan is to move his drinks cabinet six inches closer to Berlin, and Blackadder sees a chance to escape the trenches by capturing it all as the Official War Artist.
Corporal Punishment
Blackadder eats a messenger pigeon who turns out to be "Speckled Jim", General Melchett's boyhood friend. Labelled the "Flanders Pigeon Murderer" he's sent off to face the firing squad.
Major Star
The Russian Revolution causes two major problems for Blackadder: yet more Germans bearing down on him, and having to witness Baldrick's Charlie Chaplin impression.
Private Plane
When Flasheart (Rik Mayall) crashes in on Blackadder – literally – he sees another way out of the trenches in the Royal Flying Corps. Pity no one actually told him why they are called the "Twenty-minuters". Also featuring Ade Edmundson as The Red Baron.
General Hospital
There's a spy in the ranks, and Blackadder is ordered to a field hospital to root him out. Could it be the beautiful Nurse Mary (Miranda Richardson), or the patient with the strong German accent?
It's time for the big push and no one is really all that keen, especially Blackadder, who'd much rather be somewhere else, even if it involves two pencils and a pair of underpants.
The episodes I personally found funniest are Corporal Punishment which gives Stephen Fry's brilliant General Melchett his best lines, and General Hospital featuring a guest role from previous Blackadder II star Miranda Richardson. Of course the final episode is famous for one of the most moving moments of television. Some people at the time of its first showing actually complained that it was too depressing a way to end a comedy series, but every other Blackadder finished in a similar way, and how else could they have ended it?
If there are any downsides it is probably only that the first episode in particular spends a little too much time on vomit jokes. At its best this is brilliantly witty comedy and was spoilt a bit by basic humour like this. But this is a minor quibble.
Though many people prefer Blackadder II, this is my personal favourite of the series. If there are no more series – and there probably won't be – then this series should stand as the excellent swansong for Blackadder, rather than the disappointing Blackadder Back and Forth.
It really is well over ten years ago that this series was first shown, so obviously expectations for picture quality should not be set too high. A standard 4x3 image is therefore what we get though it's slightly fuzzier than perhaps it could have been. The first episode also has a couple of scenes where the picture quality degrades severely; otherwise it's just a bit below what would be expected.
Unsurprisingly it's basic stereo here, but it's loud enough and clear enough to be acceptable for the job at hand.
Yet another of those ridiculous facts: Blackadder is obviously a British show, so you would expect the British DVD release to be the better one, right? Of course that's wrong, as the region 1 version contains interviews and other additional material, and here we have a big fat nothing. Even the booklet follows the "Entertainment in Video" style of seeming to be sizeable, only to discover that it's just a catalogue for other titles. Poor.
Final Thoughts
Blackadder Goes Forth is one of the high points of British television comedy and is therefore highly recommended. However, considering there is a region 1 version that features extra material totally absent here, it would probably be a much more cunning plan to get that version instead of this one. Or better yet, hunt out Blackadder: The Complete Collector's Set also on region 1.

Volume 39 (1998)
Reviewed Work(s)
De Tocqueville, Alexis, Memoir on Pauperism, introduced by Gertrude Himmelfarb (Chicago, 1997).
Humphreys, Robert. Sin, Organized Charity, and the Poor Law in Victorian England (New York, 1995).
While the term "pauperism" is now outdated, the idea behind it remains important to the discussion of poverty, charity, and the Welfare State at the close of the twentieth century. Since Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher took office, political conservatives have often viewed the Welfare State as being a significant cause of poverty, because, in their opinion, public charity creates an idle and dependent class within society. The publication for the first time as an independent monograph of an English translation of Alexis de Tocqueville's Memoir on Pauperism, a work which espouses this very view, and its introduction by the noted conservative historian Gertrude Himmelfarb can, therefore, be expected to attract both those interested in the historical past and in the political present.
Written shortly after his first trip to England in 1833 and presented to the Royal Academic Society of Cherbourg in 1835, Tocqueville's Memoir argues that "public charity" encourages dependence, improvidence, and moral degeneration. In addition, "relief as a right," he claimed, depresses wages and productivity, and increases food prices, population, and unemployment. In consequence, Tocqueville strongly supported the expansion of private philanthropy. As such aid was collected voluntarily and distributed on a temporary basis, it would not pauperize its recipients. That said, Tocqueville recognized "not only the utility but the necessity of public charity applied to inevitable evils such as the helplessness of infancy, the decrepitude of old age, sickness, [and] insanity." He even admitted "its temporary usefulness in times of public calamities . . . [as] State alms are then as spontaneous as unforeseen, as temporary as the evil itself." Unlike many of his contemporaries, however, Tocqueville doubted that assistance could or should be distributed on the basis of "character." Who, he asked, "would dare to let a poor man die of hunger because it's his own fault that he is dying? Who will hear his cries and reason about his vices?"
Gertrude Himmelfarb in her introductory essay to the Memoir argues that Tocqueville's words resonate "in an industrial and even postindustrial society" for one simple reason; we are now attempting "to cope with the consequences Tocqueville foresaw" during the 1830s. Indeed, the existence of a chronically dependent and de-moralized underclass, one effect of state welfare Tocqueville would argue, has led an increasing number of people in Britain and the United States to challenge the entitlement programs enshrined in the Welfare State. Himmelfarb further notes that the trend towards the devolution of authority for the care of the poor in the United States from the national to the state level might eventually leave power in the hands of local officials or, conceivably, even within the private sector. Not that this would, for Himmelfarb, be a bad thing. "If public relief is an invitation both to individual irresponsibility and to an overweening state," she concludes, "Private charity . . . may be the remedy for both." According to Himmelfarb, as private philanthropy is better able to discriminate between the applicants for its relief than a monolithic Welfare State, its resources would be applied to the elevation of the "deserving" poor.
Robert Humphreys' scholarly examination of the Charity Organisation Society should, however, raise real questions about the efficiency of local government and private efforts to relieve the poor. "The Society for Organising Charitable Relief and Repressing Mendacity" founded in Britain in 1869 believed that the poor could be divided between the "deserving" and the "undeserving" through rigorous investigation. Those whose poverty was due to forces beyond their control were to be aided by private philanthropy; the rest were, in an ideal world, to be incarcerated within the Poor Law workhouse. The problem, as the COS saw it, was that private charity and the Poor Law Guardians all too often granted relief indiscriminately; rewarding the "undeserving" in this way promoted shiftlessness and immorality within Victorian society. In consequence, the COS led a crusade against Poor Law outdoor relief and the indiscriminate distribution of private charity, and established a national network of societies to promote their message.
Unfortunately, as Humphreys demonstrates, COS social theory provoked hostility from the poor, the clergy, Poor Law Guardians, many ratepayers, and a large number of philanthropic organizations. Particularly outside of London, the Victorians rejected the COS as extremist. Not surprisingly, both public and private aid continued to be distributed largely on the basis of need, not "character," throughout the Victorian era. Even worse from their perspective, the COS proved unable to provide a practical alternative. When "the anticipated armies of middle-class volunteers failed to materialize, COS provincial visitors were often hard-pressed with little time for compassionate counseling" or for detailed investigation of the applicants for their relief. Some provincial societies, indeed, were forced to hire professional agents to meet their obligations. As a result, the COS made little headway in converting Britain to their vision of how relief should be distributed. Well into the twentieth century "the COS found it necessary to complain just as stridently about the careless profligacy of traditional charities" and the Poor Law as it had initially in 1869.
What these two works make clear is that both Tocqueville in 1835 and the COS toward the end of the nineteenth century labored under the same delusion, that the crux of the Social Problem in Britain lay with the pauperized, not with the poor as a whole. As we have seen, Tocqueville objected to the distribution of state aid to the "able-bodied," not to the young, the old, or to the sick. He realized, in addition, that state welfare was necessary during periods of "public calamities," economic or otherwise. Although the COS wished to relieve the "deserving" through the private sector, its clients were the same as Tocqueville's. Neither Tocqueville nor the COS seemed to realize that the vast majority of those seeking relief on a regular basis were "deserving": widows, their children, the sick, the disabled, and the elderly. Although the unemployed and casual laborers often sought relief, most did not do so on a long-term basis. The same might be said of the recipients of welfare in the United States and Great Britain today.
Taken together, Tocqueville and Humphreys reveal several of the most important lessons that can be learned from the study of nineteenth century pauperism. First, although there is always a danger that indiscriminate relief might de-moralize a few stray individuals, neither public nor private relief typically pauperizes the poor. Second, while private charity can be both effective and morally-elevating, it is rarely available in sufficient quantities to eliminate economic distress, even when the economy is buoyant. Third, when private resources fail, the state has a moral obligation to step in to aid the disabled, the sick, the aged, children, and the chronically unemployed. Finally, it is economic prosperity, not government welfare programs or private philanthropy, that has the ability to lift the bulk of the impoverished out of poverty.

Former Deputy Prime Minister S Jayakumar and former Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong
While Singapore is well-known for its strict and robust legal system, critics have also questioned the transparency and autonomy of its courts. Yet amidst these mixed views of Singapore's legal system, it is an undeniable fact that the rule of law has been central to Singapore's post-independence success. And at the core of Singapore's rule of law is former Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
What is Mr Lee's conception of rule of law as a statesman and lawyer, and how did this factor into Singapore's governance and success?
Having served as Deputy Prime Minister and prior to that, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs, Law and Labour, Professor S. Jayakumar gave a detailed overview of Mr Lee's rule of law that was peppered with personal anecdotes based on his experience in government.
Issues of race and religion proved particularly important, given that Mr Lee had set out to differentiate Singapore neighbours by establishing a rule of law that ensured non-discrimination of minorities. The law provided for a tough stance on those who disrupted racial or religious harmony.
Professor Jayakumar also noted that Mr Lee often went beyond laws to ensure racial equality, citing an instance whereby Mr Lee took a transport minister to task for a lack of racial diversity in a Singapore Airlines flight crew which he had personally encountered. The rule of law was also critical in the international realm, given that Singapore's survival was contingent upon international law and third party adjudication over conflicts.
Professor Jayakumar also dispelled views of Mr Lee's dictatorial style in cabinet as well as the perceived bias of judges in Mr Lee's favour during libel suits. In reality, Mr Lee is "intellectually honest" in his willingness to listen to cogent arguments that made sense.
Former Chief Justice Mr Chan Sek Keong said that fundamentally, Mr Lee believed that the rule of law was meant to serve the needs of society and at the same time reflect reality.
Mr Chan noted that "laws are made by people", and that Singapore's success has been based on a willingness to adjust the legal framework to international demands and the domestic situation.
On criticisms of Mr Lee's rule of law, he noted that much of these criticisms were based on a bias towards liberal democratic ideas. Furthermore, Mr Lee's rule of law has been widely seen as a serious competitor to the liberal democratic version of the rule of law in the global marketplace of ideas. Such criticisms steeped in the liberal democratic tradition do not do justice to Mr Lee's focus on societal needs, national security, and social stability. In other words, Mr Lee's formulation of the rule of law is based on"integrity of purpose" that requires law to serve the good of society.
The question and answer session also showed that Mr Lee's approach to the rule of law is one that was attuned to societal needs and realities. This continues to permeate Singapore's rule of law, with Professor Jayakumar noting Mr Lee's "fundamental ideas of the rule of law are deeply ingrained, and that is good for Singapore".

|In the slums there is no holiday
except a Good Friday that lasts all year.
The very life of a slum dweller
is a long night of agony
in a Gethsemane of shanties, a cross
on a shoulder consumed by hunger
which gives the stomach a kind of pain
like that which plagues a crucified man.

La Qua (The Second Time)
With the weather having let up and a little bit of time to spare I checked with hotel reception to see if Thunder Dolphin was running. After a little convincing that Thunder Dolphin was a roller coaster and not two words put together at random, the receptionist called the park and we got the confirmation that it was but would be closing soon. Knowing that the Metro was unlikely to let us down, there was still enough time to get up there and ride it.
When we eventually arrived at the station platform we could see that the ride operators were being more efficient than we had seen so far. All loose items had to be put into the lockers including those securely fastened around the waist regardless of whether they were under a jacket or not. They really weren't taking any risks and I guess with a busy city under you there was a high chance of an injured pedestrian should something fall. They also insisted that you queue in the first available seat, the concept of waiting for the front or back seat didn't matter. Some other members had skipped the journey back to the hotel from Disney and made their way up here and were already riding. It looked like they had been trying to position themselves in the right place to get the back seat but kept failing. So it was fortunate that having just joined the queue at random I found myself getting them.
Before the ride departs the station the ride operators put on a little show, which I think was linked to the dating promotion the complex was running. Funny how they can change from being super draconian when you board to super friendly when you leave.
And how was the ride? It's not as exciting as Expedition G-Force (it's sister ride in Germany) but it does have some great views going for it, especially at the top of the first lift hill. Not being stuck behind a piece of reinforced glass as happened at both the Government Offices and Tokyo Tower meant that the view was as pure as you were going to get it, up until the coaster train starts it's descent that is. The course is pretty gentle really, only the first drop having that "whoooooooooa" moment. The dive through the hole in the building comes on the exit to a corner so you don't get the time to appreciate it. Similarly going through the wheel, looks great from the ground, but the wheel is so damn huge it loses impact when you're on the ride. A piece of trick track on the final lap throws you from side to side and looks great if everyone has their hands in the air. There's a lot to be had for having high thrill rides that offer views of the cities they're in, particularly at night when everything is lit up. I was blown away when I rode the Big Shot at the Stratosphere in Vegas, and riding this had a similar effect.

This morning on my way to work I did what I always do on the way to work: I stared into the life of the person in the car behind me.
From my rearview mirror, I am granted a front-row seat at my most favourite theatre. Sometimes the unwilling actors are busy – smoking, putting on makeup, drinking coffee, idly checking their phones – but most times they're just sitting there, staring intently on the road ahead…the road that I should also be watching.
Today, the act was particularly charming.
A mother with her baby in the front seat.
He was watching some show on the dashboard screen (if this all sounds ridiculously unsafe, I can assure you, it's pretty commonplace in Japan).
You know that baby happy face? The one that babies make where you can't help but smile? That's the one he was making.
I could practically hear him singing along to whatever catchy tune was playing, and his arms and legs bounced up and down to the beat in the most precious rhythm.
I don't know if it was the sight of that adorable baby boy, or his mother – who could not have been much older than me – but my mind immediately flooded with the sentiment "I wish…".
I wish I knew what that felt like.
I wish I were her.
I wish he were mine.
But then, almost just as quickly, a voice – I'd like to think it was my guardian angel – said to me:
He is.
He is yours.
You take care of him by making sure you drive safely and pay attention when you're driving on the road.
(My eyes immediately shifted to in front of me.)
You give to him by being conscious of the environment you create in his world with your thoughts and actions.
You look out for him by living mindfully and protecting the planet that he will have no choice but to live on.
And you love him by loving yourself fiercely and unapologetically. Because love is love.
And – for a few more moments – I felt pure, boundless joy, as I glanced back at this baby in the rearview mirror, who I would never see again, and who was my own.
And then, his mother switched lanes, and sped past me on the highway.

First Look at Solo
As such, below we've got the very first Han Solo movie images if you want a closer look at what we just saw.
But while we waited a long time for this first promo, reports say a full trailer for the film will drop tomorrow on Good Morning America, so check back here at Nerdist for complete coverage.
Check it out, below.
They didn't mess about either – they've got in Hollywood legend and Apollo 13 director Ron Howard to do it. We can only hope that a promised Monday trailer will answer more questions before this film reaches movie theaters on May 28, 2018 (Memorial Day in the United States). Han Solo is one of the most memorable and iconic characters in the franchise whose origins we have yet to see fleshed out beyond knowing he is a smuggler.
Star Wars fans are gearing up for a huge 24 hours.
I'm sorry, and of course – the Millennium Falcon. But WHAT a teaser!
One thing we know about Solo: it's a heist picture.
Awesome teaser. New droids, new planets, new friends, new foes. Now that it's February, how early are we going to see another trailer before the film's May release?
It may be because the studio wanted to wait until "Last Jedi" stopped its run, which is what happened in 2016 when Disney waited until the "Force Awakens" hype died down to promote "Rogue One".
The spot features Han Solo (Ehrenreich) interviewing for a spot in the Imperial military, seeking to become "the best pilot in the galaxy".
Has a heist feel, right away it felt like it was the episode from Firefly "The Train Job".
Similarly, Solo reveals how Han and Chewie met in the new official movie timeline, as shown by that tentative Wookiee arm on Han's shoulder at the end.
I'm liking the look of it so far.

Summarized by Laura Wildschut, Equine Physical Therapist and Trainer.
Company: Equidinamia
Website: www.equidinamia.es
Location: Madrid, Spain
Duration treatment: Two months
Challenge: Recovery of a show jumper from chronic back pain developed over five months.
Solution: Combining various techniques:
- Multiple VetkinTape applications,
- Manual therapy,
- Functional electrical stimulation,
- Daily proprioceptive training.
Impact: Due to the two months treatment, the horse showed no further signs of pain or sore area's.
The equine veterinarian Marta García Piqueres and the equine physical therapist Mar de Echevarría Ruiz-Oriol from Equidinamia (Spain) successfully implemented VetkinTape in the treatment of a 7-year-old show jumper. More Information about the work of Marta García Piqueres and Mar de Echevarría Ruiz-Oriol at www.equidinamia.es.
Symptoms and limitations
The horse had developed chronic back pain over a period of 5 months before treatment. She showed the following symptoms:
- misbehavior while riding,
- a poor performance,
- a remarkable muscle atrophy over the right pelvis (gluteal muscles, hamstrings),
- the Selle Français mare also showed a mild lameness in trot on the right hind leg (1/5 AAEP lameness scale reference).
"VetkinTape – Veterinary kinesiology tape was a very helpful tool within the treatment plan and stayed on the horse for several days before falling off. No negative effects were observed."
Marta García Piqueres | Mar de Echevarría Ruiz-Oriol
Equine Veterinarian | Equine Physical Therapist
She was diagnosed with sacroiliac right pathology (chronic OA), by using scintigraphy and ultrasound techniques, and after that she was infiltrated twice without showing improvement.
Treatment plan
Piqueres and Ruiz-Oriol decided to set up a 2-month treatment plan, combining:
- multiple VetkinTape applications,
- manual therapy (chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release, mobilization, stretching),
- functional electrical stimulation (FES, Equinew™),
- daily proprioceptive training program.
The training included lunging over poles, using elastic bands or proprioceptive bracelets and up-hill/down-hill walking unridden exercises.
Kinesiology taping benefits
The team from Equidinamia placed VetkinTape equine kinesiology tape over the sacroiliac area and the painful spinous processes with the intention of decreasing the pain. The fascia technique was used over the thoracolumbar fascia to normalize the status of the fascia and allow the structures to move freely again. To detone the paravertebral tight muscles a muscle technique was used, and a toning muscular technique for the atrophied muscles to improve their function.
The combination of the techniques resulted in significant improvement of the horses performance. The right pelvic muscles developed very well and the mare showed no signs of pain or sore areas anymore. The mobility all over the back and sacroiliac area improved. Her rider continued to work her under a dynamic controlled exercise plan for several month and was able to ride her without behavioral problems.

Before diving into his recap of last night's episode, Rick Moran says what many 24 fans are thinking:
I may be the last person who comments regularly on the show who has faced up to the fact that 24 has hopelessly jumped the shark. The plot has collapsed into a heap of unfinished threads, an endless exposition of plot lines to nowhere. Do you care one whit if Milo gets Nadia alone for 15 minutes? Is there no further use for Jack?s father in this set up ? a very promising storyline that has dropped off the scope with nary a word on his fate? I?m even beginning to yawn at the by-play between Chloe and Morris ? a sure sign of something having gone out of the show.
In fact, Chloe?s character has absolutely gone off the banal scale. To take this beautiful bitch of a woman and rob her of her snark, her scowls, her hooded looks of disapprobation when a co-worker made a mistake, is like taking away Betty Grable?s gams or Marilyn Monroe?s ? smile. Chloe?s thoughtlessness and inappropriate behavior around her fellow CTU officemates ? always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person ? has disappeared. She is now simply a geek appendage to the show. Need someone to hack into CalTrans? Let Chloe do it. Need someone to download the updated schematics for the suitcase bomb? Piece of cake for supergeek Chloe.
But perhaps the clearest indication that the show is done for came from a speech that Little Ricky made to Jack thanking him for saving the United States. Since there has been plenty of speculation on the boards about Ricky Schroeder taking over for Kiefer Sutherland whenever the producers decide to kill off Jack Bauer, I ask you to imagine Jack Bauer saying this at any time in his life to anyone:
First of all, Schroeder has been, without a doubt a horrible addition to the cast. His acting isn't that great and his character, if it is meant to be the replacement for Jack Bauer some day, is about as inspiring as a glass of warm milk. If they are going to keep Mike Doyle around, they need to really rethink what they are doing with him because, so far, it's not working.
Second, the recycling of plots from previous seasons has been maddening. Consider this:
1. ??? We had a nuclear weapon in Season Two, and more nuclear weapons in Season Six.
2. ??? A terrorist who hijacked a drone missile in Season Four and a terrorist who hijacked more military drones in Season Six (and I hope to god that the real drones are alot more secure than the ones on 24)
3. ??? A raid on the Chinese consulate in Season Four and a raid on the Russian Consulate in Season Six (from now on, all the Consulates in Los Angeles should just have a separate gate for Jack and Tac Team to enter when they need to launch the raid)
4. ??? A Vice-President conspiring to take over the Presidency in Season Two, and a Vice-President conspiring to take over the Presidency in Season Six (something really must have gone wrong with the Vice-Presidential selection process in the 24 universe, because every Cabinet meeting seems to have the potential to turn into a modern day version of the Night of the Long Knives).
Finally, the characters just seem off this year. Jack is still Jack, but everyone around him just doesn't work as well as they have in the past. Rick Moran already mentioned the problems with Chloe, but there's also the disaster that is President Wayne Palmer. If 24 fans needed any confirmation that David Palmer really is dead, it's been the crappy way his brother has governed……..if David were alive he'd break down the door of the White House bunker and show little brother who's really in charge. Fayed makes me long for the days of Habib Marwan….heck, even Behrooz would make a more believable terrorist leader. And even the three glorious weeks that saw the return of the President we love to hate were a let-down that has left us hanging for a month now.
And now, the nukes are secure, and we're supposed to care about Audrey Raines ? Sorry Audrey, but you're no Teri, heck you're not even Kim
I'll continue watching this season, but at this point I'm just hoping that the writers turn things around next year.

"Not everything that count can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton).
For Christmas this year my Secret Santa gave me a desk calendar entitled Stuff White People Like. A little back story - Stuff White People Like is a blog that takes a satirical aim at the interests of North America "left leaning, city dwelling white folk." The blog was created in January 2008 by white Canadian Christian Lander, who grew up in Toronto, Ontario. Lander co-authored the site with his Filipino Canadian friend Myles Valentin after Valentin teased Lander about his watching the HBO television series The Wire.
The reason I am sharing this with all of you is because I was recently reading a day in my calendar entitled Unpaid Internships (which if you are interested you may read at http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/07/20/104-unpaid-internships/).
The basic premise of this blog is that people work a lot for very little. This resonated with me because I have heard (as I am sure you have) numerous individuals complain about working more than they are paid. And, I also know someone (and so do you) who works harder than they get paid. It got me thinking about the saying - do you what you love and you will never work a day in your life.
Now I am not so naive as to think (nor should you be) that just because you love what you do there aren't going to be bad days. But the point is, if you love what you are doing you will want to be doing it all the time (or most of it) regardless of how much you are getting paid.
I am not suggesting that people work for free but I am saying that you should find something you enjoy doing and the money will follow. Either way, if you want the money or the prestige you are going to have to work hard for it so you might as well be doing something you love while you're chasing it.

Chunky and square set in design the Boxgrove Planter offers a classic way to display plants and small trees outdoors. Crafted from durable and strong Fibre Clay in an off-black and available in two sizes, they are extremely hardwearing and able to withstand temperatures between -20 and +40 degrees.
Reminiscent of heavy lead planters and fully weatherproof, each piece comes with a central drainage hole and rolled top for that finishing touch. We think they'd look striking positioned either side of a front door for a grand welcome.

It's nearly the end of the Cold War and the Berlin Wall is days away from coming down, but MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton has one more mission – to recover a sensitive list of operatives that will soon fall into the hands of the KGB. Her cover is blown as soon as she arrives and must engage in a dangerous game of cat and mouse while trying to recover the list and the man who has committed it to memory. Working with fellow agent David Percival, she pursues the package while staying one step ahead of the enemy. In the end, she must battle against impossible odds to reach her goal and expose the traitors in her midst.
2017, Color, Rated R, 1 Hr 55 mins
DTS:X / HD Master Audio 5.1, 2.40:1 Aspect Ratio
Starring: Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman
Directed by David Leitch
Violence: Yes
Sex: Yes
Language: Yes
This is a well-balanced spy flick, but if you're expecting the glamor of 007 or the pure action of XXX, you might be disappointed. Atomic Blonde is a more gritty, dark-alley look at the spy game set in 1989's East Berlin, a city described by those in the game as "the Wild West." While there is plenty of action, courtesy of many well-choreographed fight scenes, there is also plenty of intrigue, quick plot twists, and misdirection. The violence and sex quotient keeps this from being a family movie-night selection but none of the adult material is over-the-top.
Secrets Sponsor
Charlize Theron turns in a killer performance and I hope to see more films featuring her character. There is definite franchise potential here. James McAvoy is equally compelling as the rogue agent who runs along the ragged edge of insanity. The portrayal of Communist-controlled East Berlin is done to perfection. I found myself immersed in the story right from the word go. Awesome and entertaining, and surely worthy of multiple viewings, highly recommended.
Though much of the movie takes place in dimly-lit rooms and dark alleys, I never had trouble discerning fine detail or high contrast. Whether it be in shadow or highlight, you'll see it all. Color is often monochromatic but the creators manage to use a variety of bold primary hues which always maintain a great sense of depth and dimension. For a film that relies on practical effects, this transfer is of reference quality.
Secrets Sponsor
The disc includes a DTS:X encode but I watched it in traditional 5.1. The mix is a tad polite but the intensity is there when the action calls for it. Surrounds are a bit under-utilized but my sub got a decent workout. Dialog is clear and balanced at all times.
Bonus features total about 35 minutes and include several short behind-the-scenes features and deleted scenes. You also get audio commentary from Director David Leitch and Editor Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir who provide insight into the production.
