RACIAL ATTACK INDICTMENT. A

September 9, 1989

NEW YORK — RACIAL ATTACK INDICTMENT. A fourth young man was indicted on murder charges Friday in the fatal Bensonhurst racial attack, authorities said. The man, Joseph Serrano, 19, had been arrested on assault charges. He was indicted by a grand jury on murder and other charges, said Nancy Young, a spokeswoman for Brooklyn District Attorney Elizabeth Holtzman. The additional charges were not immediately released. Indicted earlier on murder charges in the Aug. 23 attack were the suspected trigger man, Joseph Fama, 18, and two others, Keith Mondello, 18, and Pasquale Raucci, 19. Three other young white men have been arrested for allegedly taking part in the attack on Yusuf Hawkins, 16, but have not been indicted. Police say


It is common practice to protect identification cards and other documents, including driver's licenses, student identification cards, security system identification documents, and the like, by sealing such documents into covers of thin, tough, transparent plastic film. One of the best known protective films for this purpose is a laminate that includes an outer film of hard, tough, abrasion resistant biaxially oriented thermoset polyester resin coated with an inner layer of a thermoplastic adhesive resin activatable by heat and pressure. The resin for the outer film is usually polyethylene terephthalate; the most frequently used adhesive resin is polyethylene. To complete a protective cover on an identification card or like document, the document is usually placed between two sheets of the laminating film and then passed through a laminating pressin which heat and pressure are applied to activate the thermoplastic adhesive, bonding the film to the surfaces of the document; around the edges, the two sheets of laminating film may bond directly to each other.
A laminated assembly of this kind provides excellent protection for the identification document. The outer film of thermoset polyester withstands a great deal of abuse. It remains very hard, tough, and abrasion-resistant with little change due to aging; the transparency of the film is also little changed with age. The protective cover also makes it quite difficult to alter the identification card.
Identification documents protected by laminated covers of thermoset polyester film have not been suitable for a number of applications. Thus, the thermoset polyester film on the outer surface of a document assembly

Acting on a complaint filed by a software engineer, Wilson Garden police on Monday registered a case of voyeurism under the provision of IPC Section 354C against the suspect, Kanakaraj, a resident of Sudhamanagar, who did some odd jobs to earn money.

Shantinagar residents were unnerved after many of them realised a man was allegedly peeping into their bedrooms at night. Besides catching a glimpse of the private moments of couples, the man would bang on the window and let out a scream, scaring them. The residents, however, were unable to catch the nimble-footed man.

Soon, the residents created a WhatsApp group toexclusively share information about the Peeping Tom’s movements. The Shantinagar Residents Welfare Association too started posting information about incidents.

Some residents even installed

in their buildings. In one such incident, a 41-year-old software engineer found the CCTV camera installed by him had captured the movement of the suspect twice in a month: on August 8 and September 19. The man’s face was recognisable in the footage.

“His CCTV grab was widely shared on the group and all residents were aware of the tattoos on his neck and right shoulder,” said Balaji, a WhatsApp group member.

“Late on Sunday night, the techie’s family members found the same man in front of their residence and immediately posted an alert on the WhatsApp group and called police. Members of the group rushed out, caught the

Greta Gerwig was tapped as best director and Daniel Day-Lewis and Frances McDormand figured among the year's best actors.

After just over three hours of deliberation, the Toronto Film Critics Association on Sunday named The Florida Project, a story about a mother and daughter living out a precarious existence in a motel on the outskirts of Disney World, as the year's top film.

Sean Baker's follow-up to Tangerine, released by A24, is anchored by performances from child actors Brooklynn Prince and Valeria Cotto, Bria Vinaite as a wild-child mother and Willem Dafoe as a motel manager. Toronto critics last year named Moonlight as the best picture of 2016.

Acting awards for performances this year went to Daniel Day-Lewis for Phantom Thread, Frances


McDormand for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Dafoe for Florida Project and Laurie Metcalf for Lady Bird.

Directing honors went to Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird, and Jordan Peele's Get Out won for best first feature and best screenplay. Other award winners included the Angelina Jolie-produced The Breadwinner for best animated feature, while the Cannes Palme d'Or winner The Square by Ruben Östlund took home the prize for best foreign film.

The Toronto Film Critics Association will hand out trophies Jan. 9 during a gala in Toronto. The winner of the best Canadian feature prize will be announced at that event.

The faux-conservative late-night host celebrated the Romney campaign's political victory.

Colbert danced to a "fat beat" on Thursday's edition of "The Colbert Report."

Earlier this week, Mitt Romney argued that the Obama administration — not GOP lawmakers — have waged the real "War on Women" with "failed" economic policies. ("That's called flipping the script," according to Stephen Colbert). Democratic political strategist Hilary Rosen, in response to the Romney campaign's spin, knocked Ann Romney for having "never worked a day in her life."

Rosen's words quickly circulated around the Beltway — and in the eyes of many in the political commentariat, Rosen's attack on the presumptive GOP nominee's wife helps Romney's "War on Women" talking-point.

They are simply trying to spin it that it's all happy families. Sadly for them there is a video of Solange trying to beat the living daylights out of her brother in law whilst her sister stands like spaced out druggie just watching,

To hear the Obama Administration tell it, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, is a win-win and cure-all. It will create jobs in the U.S., improve labor and environmental protections, improve business transparency internationally, and help consummate a relationship with Asia that has until now been mostly an overture, the administration says.

Many U.S. lawmakers, however, are unconvinced. The administration needs “fast track” authority to finish negotiating the TPP, and a key vote is likely to come up in the Senate this week. Opposition to the deal is bubbling up across Washington’s political and ideological spectra. In a twist, the opposition is meta-partisan. The Republican leadership of the Senate, and most of the party, support fast track, but the Democratic leadership opposes it. Both parties have members who disagree on


human rights record and labor rights record in particular, using not only the TPP but closer military ties as the leverage. All that the United States has received in response is a few pledges, baby steps, and a handful of political prisoner releases. (If one can call the releases that: One released prisoner was in poor health and died within weeks of his release, two others were only paroled into exile in the United States.)

The Vietnamese government still uses its penal code, which contains provisions criminalizing free speech and freedom of association, to lock up dissidents and critics. More than 150 have been convicted over the last four years, in the same period in which the US was negotiating with Vietnam on the TPP.

Diplomat Brief Weekly Newsletter Nselected were Chayanne of Puerto Rico and Lucero of Mexico, two artists who represent the two worlds of the U.S. Hispanic population (Caribbean Hispanics and Mexican Hispanics).

Upon selection of Chayanne and Lucero, a proprietary piece of music was developed that played to the strengths of the two artists and that was indicative of the Latin Music trends that have crossed over into the greater U.S. population. Through the two Latin music artists and the proprietary piece of music, the strategy was to create a magical moment that would communicate the fun and flavor that happens when Pepsi and Doritos come together - "El Reventón de Sabor."

Other Communications Programs

In addition to traditional media, the campaign utilized grass roots marketing tactics, specifically radio merchandising (i.e., radio remotes, van hits). The


aggressive communication goal of 80% 3+ effective reach was established. Total TRPs were weighted 64% against television and 36% against radio. The majority of TRPs were weighted against television to drive immediate reach for the joint consumption message while radio increased the frequency of message during the critical first four weeks of the campaign.

The media strategy included a 17-week, product integration sponsorship on Sabado Gigante, a program noted for being the longest running variety show in the history of television. The Sabado Gigante sponsorship featured the host, Don Francisco, holding Pepsi and Doritos while the studio audience would sing and dance to the "El Reventón de Sabor" music. The media strategy also called for the use of three creative units - :60, :30 and :15. The :60 unitIn 12 months, the program went from 0 to 6,000 stores (source: Advertiser Data).

In addition to the results above, the television advertising succeeded in achieving 80% claimed ad awareness (source: Advertiser Data), evidence to the impact of the program and to the memorable expression ("El Reventón de Sabor") created to brand the joint-consumption occasion for Pepsi and Doritos.

Summary

In the face of fierce competition (especially in the CSD category), PepsiCo sought to leverage the strengths of its two global brands for the first time in 36 years in a concentrated effort to drive joint consumption in the Hispanic Market. Through two of Latino world's brightest stars and a proprietary piece of music, PepsiCo communicated the fun and flavor that happens when Pepsi and Doritos come together - "El Reventón

Related: A GOP Senate Would Challenge Obama on Foreign Policy

President Obama was finally allowed to openly campaign for a Democratic Senate candidate over the weekend, appearing at a rally in Detroit for Rep. Gary Peters, who is vying with Republican Terri Lynn Land for an open seat. But that hardly counts because Peters has the race wrapped up and there’s no way the president’s historically


low approval ratings could hurt him in the final days of the campaign.

"Thank God, our president stood up for American workers," Peters told a boisterous crowd of mostly black Democrats Saturday night at Wayne State University.

That was about the nicest thing that a Democratic candidate has said about the president in the final days of the mid-term campaign, which polling data suggests will result in a GOP takeover of the Senate. Obama remains persona non grata in about ten other states where Democrats are fighting for their political lives and have distanced themselves from the president – often in embarrassing ways.

In Kentucky, Democratic Alison Lundergan Grimes has repeatedly refused to say whether she voted for Obama in 2012, while running TV ads to bluntly stress her differences witha James Toney video and once again, the former boxing champion delivers at his “public workout.”

The spinal column includes a series of vertebral bodies stacked one atop the other, each vertebral body including an inner or central portion of relatively weak cancellous bone and an outer portion of relatively strong cortical bone. Situated between each vertebral body is an intervertebral disc that cushions and dampens compressive forces exerted upon the spinal column. A vertebral canal containing the spinal cord and nerves is located behind the vertebral bodies.

He will then head to Italy for Tirreno-Adriatico to prepare for another shot at Milan-San Remo. Cavendish's big focus for 2017 will again be the Tour de France sprints, just as in 2016, when he won four stages and wore the leader's yellow jersey for a day.

Cavendish attended the presentation of the Abu Dhabi Tour route on Tuesday and is again the ambassador for the race. He has stayed in the UAE, training on the specialty cycling circuit in Abu Dhabi on Thursday an enjoying the warm weather. The Dubai Tour begins next Tuesday with Cavendish leading the Dimension Data


team in three expected sprint finishes. He won two stages in 2015 and also took overall victory.

Cavendish started his 2016 season in Australia but has a planned a more gradual start to 2017 after his well-documented and intense season on the road and the track last year. By combining his road and track training he won a silver medal in the Omnium on the track, had huge success in the Tour de France and ended the season with a silver medal in the World Championships in Qatar. He kept racing until the Gent Six in December and went on holiday when other riders were already back in training.

"I could do as well in 2016, why not, but I won't ride on the track. My season will begin onwill always be the best ever," he said. "I like the route of the Tour: there are mountain stages for the overall classification and flat stages for the sprinters, there are fewer intermediate stages."

Cavendish and Dimension Data are keeping his full race programme under wraps. He has ridden the Tour of California for the last three seasons but has a soft spot for the Giro d'Italia, where he was won 15 stages. There is a chance he could return for the 100th edition of the Corsa Rosa as he works to polish his form via a block of intense racing, but he makes it clear he's not a fan of the mountain-packed final week.

The final MidPoint Music Festival headliner for the big stage at Washington Park has been confirmed. Pop Rock foursome OK Go, which releases its fourth album, Hungry Ghosts, on Oct. 14, will headline the Washington Park stage on Saturday, Sept. 27. The other Washington Park headliners are Chromeo (Thursday, Sept. 25) and Cincinnati-bred rockers The Afghan Whigs (Friday, Sept. 26).

Last month, OK Go released the first single from Hungry Ghosts, “The Writing’s on the Wall.” And, like several other OK Go singles, the clever accompanying music video became an instant viral sensation


online, thanks to the wild optical illusions featured throughout. Out just three weeks, the clip has already logged close to nine million views on YouTube.

Two Cincinnati-spawned Rock acts featured on network TV on the same night

On June 4, two Cincinnati-born bands were featured on two different late-night network television shows. Rock foursome Buffalo Killers, promoting their excellent new album, Heavy Reverie, appeared on NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly in a pre-recorded interview package sprinkled with some cool performance footage. It was the band’s network television debut.

Earlier that same night, one of Cincinnati’s most renowned musical exports, The Afghan Whigs, played on The Late Show with David Letterman. The band — which is coming home to headline this year’s MidPoint Music Festival — played a great version oftheir tune “Matamoros” from the recent Do to the Beast album, their first new LP in 16 years.

Cincinnati Pop Rock quartet Mixtapes formed about four years ago and immediately hit the road with a relentless dedication. The band’s hard work paid off and it has experienced great success, building a dedicated fan base across the country with great live shows and hook-drenched, nationally-released albums and singles.

As anyone who has seen Mixtapes live knows, the band’s shows are adrenalized, sweaty fun and their music, while growing more mature and diverse with each release, is sheer fist-pumping, singalong joyfulness.

Frontman Ryan Rockwell was living the dream. But somewhere along the way, his life became more like a nightmare. The fact that Mixtapes’ launch coincided with the death of his father certainly


Hate How Normal I've Become by Youth Culture</a>

Fans worried that Youth Culture might signal the end of Mixtapes, fear not. The band is currently crisscrossing the United States on the massive Vans Warped Tour, which it'll be a part of until August. (The band is slated to appear at the Warped Tour’s Cincinnati stop on July 16 at Riverbend Music Center.)

Much has changed for the legendary Cincinnati live music venue the Blue Wisp Jazz Club over its 40-plus-year existence. Though it has consistently been the club for Jazz in Cincinnati over most of that period, the Blue Wisp has moved four different times over four decades. In its most recent locale at the corner of Race and Seventh streets downtown, the club owners also tried to attract morebusiness by serving food and varying the types of music performed. But it wasn’t enough and the Blue Wisp has once again closed its doors (though various reports suggest it could find yet another new location in the future).

One thing that hadn’t changed at the Blue Wisp, at least since it began in 1980, is the Blue Wisp Big Band. The group of all-star local musicians has maintained one of the longest residency in the region, performing its skilled take on vintage Big Band Jazz like clockwork every Wednesday. The band is a Cincinnati institution.

When the Wisp shut down, the members of the Big Band were determined to not let their remarkable run end with a whimper. Instead, the Blue Wisp Big Band sought to continue its every-Wednesday


and acoustics. I think the other guys felt the same way. (Founding BWBB anchor/drummer) John Von Ohlen rightly pointed out that there is a lot of wood — the floors and the large bar. As John said, in the fullest and most complimentary sense of the word, ‘It's a joint!’ It's what he had in mind when he formed the band and put it in the original Blue Wisp in O'Bryonville. He said he wanted a world-class big band in a beer tavern.”

Since being released nationally in early May, Cincinnati rockers Wussy’s amazing latest album Attica! has been scoring an insane amount of neon-glowing reviews from many high profile outlets. Pitchfork, Pop Matters and Spin, among many others, have all given the album high praise (Spin also recentlynamed it one of the Top 50 album releases of the year so far, alongside long-players by Beck, Pharrell and The Afghan Whigs). The band’s new record was also the inspiration for a remarkable essay by Charles Taylor for The Los Angeles Review of Books.

Give a listen to the new album below, then hit “buy” to grab your own copy:

Wussy is playing its only local show until at least this fall tonight, as the group keeps busy on the road throughout the summer, crisscrossing the country in support of Attica! The band’s upward trajectory that has been kickstarted by the new album shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Real Estate, Tycho, Panda Bear and more set for September fest

A new batch of over 20 artists has been


a successful solo artist under his stage name, Panda Bear. His experimental, psychedelic style will be on glorious display at MPMF as he promotes his latest solo effort, Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper, due sometime this year on Domino Records. (Fun fact: Panda Bear was a guest artist on Daft Punk’s Album of the Year Grammy-winning Random Access Memories.)

Tycho

Ambient Electronic artist Tycho (born Scott Hansen) makes critically acclaimed music for the esteemed Ghostly International label. His latest album, Awake, came out in March and reached No. 2 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Albums chart (and No. 23 on the general Billboard album chart). In a review of the new album, Consequence of Sound said, “Listening to Tycho is the aural equivalent of exploring a new art museum. The overall& Villa released its second album, Dunes, on the Secretly Canadian imprint earlier this year.

The Raveonettes

Danish Indie Rock duo The Raveonettes have been buzzing around since 2001, when Rolling Stone editor David Fricke saw the band at a music festival and publicly raved about them. The twosome’s fuzzy Pop sound was an instant hit upon the release of Chain Gang of Love on Columbia in 2003. Over a decade later, Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo are prepping their seventh full-length and continue to tour the globe.

Sun Kil Moon

Mark Kozelek first brought his emotive, slo-mo Indie Rock to the masses with the great Red House Painters. When that band dissolved around the turn of the century, the singer/songwriter and actor (he was in Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous and


Vanilla Sky) continued the vibe with Sun Kil Moon, which released its sixth album, Benji (featuring Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley and Will Oldham, among other guests), in February of this year. In July, Kozelek will release a live Sun Kil Moon album.

Barrence Whitfield & the Savages

The Afghan Whigs aren’t the only MPMF band with international acclaim and Cincinnati ties. Vintage R&B/Rock & Roll outfit Barrence Whitfield & the Savages was formed in the ’80s by Soul shouter Whitfield and Peter Greenberg, guitarist for the pioneering Cincy Garage Rock band The Customs (and, later in Boston, DMZ and The Lyres). The twosome reformed the band (with some local musicians in the fold) and released the locally-recorded Savage Kings album in 2010. Building a bigger audience with every tour, theband’s Dig Thy Savage Soul album last year was its best received yet, leading to successful shows across Europe (and a spot of Later … with Jools Holland in the U.K.). Read CityBeat’s feature story on the band from last year when they played a two-night stand at MPMF venue MOTR Pub.

EMA is Erika M. Anderson, a South Dakota native who honed her chops in the California experimental music scene. With EMA, Anderson makes slinky Indie Pop Rock so infectious it caught the attention of indie label giants Matador Records. The label released EMA’s latest album, The Future’s Void, in April to widespread praise.

Ex Hex

Ex Hex is the new band from Mary Timony, leader of Helium, member of Wild Flag and also a solo artist (the band name


comes from the title of her 2005 Lookout! Records album). The band’s first release, the 7-inch single “Hot and Cold,” came out on Merge Records in March.

Landlady

Formed by Man Man’s Adam Schatz, Brooklyn’s Landlady became a hometown favorite thanks to consistently great live shows and a 2011 self-released album. In July, the band releases its new album, Upright Behavior, on Hometapes, home to artists like Matthew E. White and Megafaun.

Speedy Ortiz

When Massachusetts Indie Rock band Speedy Ortiz had its first official full-length, Major Arcana, released on Carpark Records last year, the band instantly became an audience and critical favorite, landing on many scribes’ “Best of 2013” lists. The A.V. Club called the album “a markedly assured debut, one that makes Speedy Ortiz an act to watch. Like itssongs, the band’s detonation is inevitable.” Earlier this year, the band released the Real Hair EP.

Low Cut Connie

After building a strong following in Cincinnati thanks to repeated visits (including a great set at last year’s MPMF), Piano Rock crew Low Cut Connie return for another rollicking show in the Queen City. Read CityBeat’s interview with LCC from March here.

The Tontons

Houston Indie rockers The Tontons hit the touring circuit hard over the past seven years and now, with the release of their second album, Make Out King and Other Stories of Love, earlier this year, the hard work is paying off for the band. The self-released LP received high praise from the likes of The New York Times, Paste and Rolling Stone.

Ex-Cult

Psych/Proto Punk band Ex-Cult hails from Memphis and


Dream, in 2008. Since then, the band has had its cover of The Beatles’ “Michelle” declared on the 50 greatest Fab Four covers of all time by Paste, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and recorded with LCD Soundsystem’s Eric Broucek. The band’s most recent release is the EP Save Charlie.

Mutual Benefit

NYC-based Mutual Benefit is the dreamy project of singer/songwriter Jordan Lee, who grew up in suburban Columbus, Ohio. Last year’s debut full-length, Love’s Crushing Diamond, drew comparisons to the likes of Sufjan Stevens and Grizzly Bear.

The Cave Singers

Seattle Indie Folk group The Cave Singers formed in 2007 out of the ashes of the great Pretty Girls Make Graves. The band’s latest album, Naomi, came out last year on Jagjaguwar.

July Talk

Canadian Indie rockers July Talk formed just a coupleof years ago, but already they have an international profile, touring with artists like Billy Talent and Besnard Lakes and catching audiences attention with a great live show. The group recently premiered a new music video for “Summer Dress,” a song slated for a forthcoming EP.

St. Paul & the Broken Bones

Alabama Soul ensemble St. Paul & the Broken Bones’ great sound and live show have made them a favorite on the international touring circuit. The band’s debut album, Half the City, came out earlier this year, leading to the group’s appearance on CBS’s The Late Late Show and, more recently, a nomination for Emerging Act of the Year from the Americana Music Association.

Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption CCTV footage appears to show the moment Kim Jong-nam is attacked

North Korea has said Malaysia is responsible for the death of one of its citizens and is attempting to politicise the return of his body.

It does not name Kim Jong-nam, but the KCNA report appears to be state media's first reference to the death of the half-brother of North Korea's leader.

Mr Kim died after being poisoned at Kuala Lumpur airport and his body remains in a hospital mortuary.

Several North Koreans are wanted in connection with his death.

They include a senior official at the North Korean embassy in Kuala Lumpur as well as an employee of the state airline, Air Koryo.

Four other North Koreans named earlier in the case arethought to have left Malaysia already, while another North Korean is in detention.

Malaysia's police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said on Thursday that he had asked international police agency Interpol to issue an alert for the four.

On Wednesday, Malaysian police confirmed that Mr Kim died after two women - also in detention - wiped a toxin on his face while he was waiting for a flight to Macau.

It said the attack was "planned" and that the women had been well trained. They have not directly blamed the North Korean state, but said North Koreans were clearly behind it.

Mr Kim was once seen as a possible successor to his father, Kim Jong-il, but was bypassed in favour of his younger half brother, Kim Jong-un, and spent many years living abroad.

He


had been travelling on a passport under the name Kim Chol.

Malaysia says it believes the man was indeed Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of Kim Jong-un, though it is seeking family DNA samples for official confirmation, a request North Korea called "absurd".

Image copyright AP Image caption North Korea has not identified the man who died as Kim Jong-nam, only as a North Korean citizen

KCNA said only that "a citizen of the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea]" who was travelling on a diplomatic passport had died due to "a heart stroke".

It said reports of a poisoning were false and Malaysia was part of an "anti-DPRK conspiratorial racket launched by the South Korean authorities".

Conducting a post-mortem on the holder of a diplomatic passport without state permission was "a wantonhuman rights abuse and an act contrary to human ethics and morality", it said.

"The biggest responsibility for his death rests with the government of Malaysia," said the report, and the refusal to hand the body back to North Korean officials "proves that the Malaysian side is going to politicise the transfer of the body in utter disregard of international law and morality and thus attain a sinister purpose".

Who are the suspects?

Ten people have either been named as suspects or are wanted by Malaysian police for questioning in connection to Kim Jong-nam's killing.

HBF was created in 2015 with the assistance of the British Horseracing Authority to understand and represent the hopes and concerns of those who bet upon, or who might bet upon, horseracing in Britain.

It has between 7 and 9 members, including me as Chair, and meets quarterly as well as corresponding extensively between those meetings. Its membership has been derived from public calls for interest, the most recent of which was last summer.

HBF is unfunded other than having minor expenses defrayed by the BHA. The Forum sees holding the BHA to account as one of its primary objectives, and the BHA has been supportive, including in this regard.

Previously, the betting public was – at least occasionally – seen


be achieved by an increase in paid stewarding. It recommends that new technologies are embraced and that existing expertise elsewhere within the BHA is harnessed more effectively.

A principal aim of any recommendations from the stewarding review should be to increase the confidence of the British horseracing and betting public in the running of the sport.

HBF is in discussion with BHA about how it can play its part in formal arrangements the latter intends making to bring the betting and racing industries together, under the auspices of the BHA, to the mutual benefit of all.

At the same time, HBF has had regular dealings with the Gambling Commission, including as a representative of the consumer on a GC working party to discuss betting-related matters, and it contributed to the Competitionall parties, was developed with the assistance of a small number of co-operative bookmakers, and with input from the BHA and the GC. The BHA recently indicated that it would support the Charter, which HBF will share with the public before the end of the year, seeking feedback.

HBF recently shared the Charter with the Association of British Bookmakers and the Remote Gambling Association, inviting those betting-industry trade bodies to help in framing the Charter and in bringing it to the attention of their members.

Achieving wider acceptance of the Betting Charter will be a particular focus for HBF in the year ahead, as will be understanding, explaining and perhaps influencing new pool-betting initiatives, playing a part in the delivery of improvements in horseracing which will also benefit those who


couple of years, without which the creation and early stages of the HBF would have been considerably more difficult.”

HBF has meetings roughly each quarter and has lobbied on behalf of the British horseracing betting public with bookmakers and with bodies such as The Gambling Commission, The Information Commissioner’s Office, The Starting Price Regulatory Commission, The BHA and The Racecourse Association.

HBF will continue to ensure a key customer group of British Racing is represented in the new Levy environment and is currently especially active in the areas of improved data provision for bettors, Non-Runners, the future of pool betting and the creation of a Betting Charter.

MATT BISOGNO, London, is a former software development project manager and consultant who is now managing director of the popular online racing community geegeez.co.uk.A passionate racehorse owner and syndicate manager, his betting is data-driven and he has contributed to previous BHA focus groups about betting.

COLIN HORD, London, works at the Civil Aviation Authority and has a degree in meteorology. He is the policy lead in the Safety and Airspace Regulation Division. He is a member of Kempton Park Racecourse and writes a blog with his betting selections.

MARTIN HUGHES, near Newcastle, worked at Barclays Bank plc for 19 years in various roles. For the past 8 years he has been a full-time bettor, adopting several approaches and becoming a specialist in in-running (without fast pictures).

PAUL JOHNSON, Leeds, worked for William Hill for over 30 years and is now a professional horseracing bettor. A keen racegoer who has visited 55 racecourses in the


UK, he also advises on horseracing at Regulus Partners.

COLIN MAGEE, London, is an enterprise software executive and entrepreneur, and is a regular racegoer. He authored the first published book on how to program the Betfair API and is also owner of www.betwise.co.uk, a site which provides data analysis tools for bettors who wish to build their own systems.

SIMON ROWLANDS, (Chair), near Sheffield, is a self-employed horseracing analyst and writer who formerly worked as a betting-shop manager, racing editor for a national newspaper and for many years for Timeform. He was recently appointed to British racing’s Disciplinary Panel.

TANYA STEVENSON, Surrey, is from a bookmaking family and has many years of experience in the betting industry, including as betting expert on Channel 4 Racing. She has worked on BHA groups,Tattersalls Committee and is a judge of the Betting Shop Manager of The Year.

STEVEN TILLEY, Gloucestershire, has been a racing fan since he was a teenager and a member at Cheltenham racecourse for 30 years. He has written about betting for magazines and spoken at betting workshops, and mixes with punters across the spectrum from those in it purely for fun to those who take it very seriously. He has been a local councillor for the last 25 years.

Such a directive would require legislation, and neither BHA nor HBF is empowered in that way. The Gambling Commission, which might be, is not minded to do so, though HBF continues in dialogue with GC about this and other matters. Nonetheless, HBF is seeking to define what it sees as


The closing date for applications is Wednesday 31 May 2017.

Forum members will be appointed by the Chair following the HBF’s next scheduled meeting, which will be on Monday 3 July 2017, with a view to inducting new members in September or October 2017.

Further information about the activities of the HBF and its remit can be found on its website at http://ukhbf.org/.

Notes to editors:

The Horseracing Bettors Forum was created in August, 2015, with the assistance of the BHA to represent the perceived interests of those who bet upon, or who might bet upon, British horseracing.

The HBF seeks to ensure that those interests are understood and taken into account in the relevant decision-making processes, for the good of both bettors and the sport of horseracing in Britain.

Myths about multilingualism

by Susanne Mueller, philosophy student, King's College, London.

Myth 1: Two languages compete for resources.
Myth 2: Knowledge, acquired in one language, is not accessible in the other language.
Myth 3: The first language must be spoken well, before the second language is learnt.

What happens if someone learns a second language? Nowadays, multilingualism is generally considered to be an enrichment and not a problem as was believed formerly. Nevertheless, some myths around multilingualism persist, even though about half of the world’s population speaks at least two languages.

Some of the most abundant myths concern the representation of language in the brain. One myth is the belief that: The more one language is learnt, the more the other language is lost. Another myth is that it is thought that the


language can come along with increased knowledge of another language. Studies showed that students who learnt one foreign language in school do not become worse in their native tongue. On the contrary, with regular lessons, it is possible for students to ameliorate in both languages.

Knowledge in both languages increases with school years
The number of mistakes in Turkish (L1) as well as in German (L2) decreases with time of schooling.

Myth 2: Knowledge, which was acquired in one language, is not accessible in the other language.

This myth misconceives that knowledge is deposited in different "drawers“ of the brain depending on the language of instruction. So, as the T-shirts of the one drawer should not be mingled with the socks of the other drawer, the knowledge, which was acquired in English,As Mother Teresa lay in a Calcutta hospital the year before she died, her violently disturbed sleep became intolerable, her doctors seemingly unable to help. The problem, the visiting Archbishop of Calcutta suggested, was not a medical matter but something altogether more sinister: this living saint was being attacked by the devil. It was only after an exorcist was called that peace was restored.

That a woman regarded as so holy could have been subject to diabolical visitations was reported with surprise. Yet, if a course for Catholic clergy that took place in Rome last week is anything to go by, exorcism is far from rare. The programme trains about 200 priests a year in the ancient rite. For outsiders, exorcism appears anachronistic, a throwback to the superstitions of


the middle ages. What the scale of last week's course shows, however, is that the devil is alive and kicking in Pope Francis's apparently modernising church.

In recent decades, the church has been surprisingly vocal on the issue. In 1975, the former Roman Inquisition published a study called Christian Faith and Demonology, with the aim of making the reality of the devil clear. Three years earlier, Pope Paul VI – surely a man of the modern age, given his 1968 encyclical prompted by the contraceptive pill and the miniskirt – said evil "is a living spiritual being, perverted and corrupting" and certainly not "a conceptual and imaginary personification of the unknown causes of our ills". Just last Tuesday, Francis himself put great emphasis on the role of the devilwhen speaking of the protomartyr Saint Stephen, saying that the "struggle between God and the devil" was apparent in the persecution of the church's people. For the hierarchy, the devil is not to be forgotten nor softened into a metaphor.

Meanwhile, modern holy people have kept the devil alive in the Catholic popular imagination. The 20th-century saint Padre Pio encountered him as a smoke-breathing dog and a naked dancing girl, also reporting being dragged from his bed by demonic forces. And the French mystic Marthe Robin, who died only in 1981, apparently lost two teeth as a result of the devil punching her in the face.

The devil continues to be as useful for the modern church as he has been in the past, when he bolstered the case for


the burning of heretics. The concept now provides a dramatic way to underscore the dangers of a godless society. The organiser of last week's course, Dr Giuseppe Ferrari, argues that a rise in the number of people abandoning religion and dabbling in the occult has increased Satan's power. As head of the Gruppo di Ricerca e Informazione Socio-Religiosa, a Catholic organisation concerned with the threat posed by cults and sects, Ferrari says good exorcists are needed more than ever, since: "We live in a disenchanted society, a secularised world that thought it was being emancipated, but where religion is being thrown out, the window is being opened to superstition and irrationality."

This seems like an extreme position, but it is in perfect alignment with Francis's views, which go furtherthan his brief mentions of the devil last week suggest. In his very first homily as pope, delivered in the Sistine Chapel on the day after his election, Francis bluntly quoted the French author and Catholic convert Léon Bloy: "Anyone who does not pray to the Lord prays to the devil."

In its biblical guises – Lucifer as chief of the fallen angels, the dragon of Revelation, the serpent in the Garden of Eden, or the tempter of Jesus in the wilderness – the idea of a supreme embodiment of evil is one that will always endure. And in the church's battle against secularism, the devil may have found a valuable new role.

The Tigers competed in five events, advanced to the meet's second day in two of them and scored eight points while placing 34th out of 42 scoring teams in action at the University of Minnesota Aquatics Center.

"It was a fun weekendat state this year," Farmington coach Ryan Hamen said. "All of the boys were excited to go to state, but they knew they had to focus and fine-tune their swims even more to make it back on Saturday."

The 400 freestyle relay did just that, advancing to Saturday's final 16 with a 15th-place prelim time of 3 minutes, 21.14 seconds. The foursome of seniors Connor Kealy and Zach Holton and juniors Aaron Lane and Christopher Kirchmann matched that 15th-place showing in the finals and scored six points with a school-record time of 3:19.70.

The same four relay swimmers narrowly missed advancing in the 200 freestyle relay with a 17th-place time of 1:31.09. Anoka grabbed the 16th and final spot in the consolation finals with a 1:30.94.

Kirchmann accounted for the Tigers'


other two points in the 50 freestyle where he reached the consolation finals and placed 15th in 22.36 seconds. He missed the cut by three-tenths of a second in the 100 freestyle with a 20th-place time of 48.90.

Junior Evan Carufel got the Tigers started at the meet with a 24th-place score of 130.55 in the 1-meter dive.

made in the later years of the 20’th century showed that with the right materials, engine inlets of the SR-71 type could theoreticaly work at speeds as high as mach 6.

The speed was its main defence

But even though the Blackbird was so expensive and hard to build, it did get onto the production line, and it was an enormous success. Not only was it black, had been a secret project and looking like it was from another planet, it was the fastest aircraft the world has ever seen. And more importantly for the US – it was faster than anything the Soviets had ever built. Although it carried electronic countermeasures, the main defensive system of it versus missiles was simply to outrun them, just like quoted from theSR-71 Blackbird documentary on PBS:

“If a surface-to-air missile launch was detected, the standard evasive action was simply to accelerate and outfly the missile”.

The effectiveness of this defence was proved in 1981 when Kelly Johnson, one of the designers of the Blackbird, announced that over 1,000 missiles had been launched towards the SR-71, but none of them had hit. Out of the 32 SR-71s that were built, 12 were lost due to accidents, never because of enemy fire.

HANOI/KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Vietnamese woman who spent more than two years in a Malaysian prison on suspicion of killing the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was released from jail and returned to Vietnam on Friday.

Doan Thi Huong was charged along with an Indonesian woman with poisoning Kim Jong Nam by smearing his face with liquid VX, a banned chemical weapon, at Kuala Lumpur airport in February 2017.

Malaysian prosecutors dropped a murder charge against Huong last month after she pleaded guilty to an alternate charge of causing harm.

The 30-year-old arrived at Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport, just outside the Vietnamese capital, late on Friday, where she spoke to a large group of media gathered inside the terminal building.

“I feel happy when returning to mycountry,” said Huong, who said she was looking forward to heading to her family home, a small town in the province of Nam Dinh, 130 km (80 miles) from Hanoi.

Ahead of her arrival, Huong’s father, Doan Van Thanh, told Reuters he was planning to celebrate his daughter’s return with a large party in their village.

“We will slaughter some pigs for the party. My daughter particularly likes fried fish, so we will prepare that too,” Thanh said.

In a letter shared by Huong’s lawyers ahead of her departure from Kuala Lumpur, Huong thanked the governments of Vietnam and Malaysia for their support.

Her co-accused, Siti Aisyah, was freed in March after prosecutors also dropped a murder charge against her.

Korean authorities had ordered the assassination of Kim Jong Nam, who had been critical of his family’s dynastic rule. Pyongyang has denied the allegation.

Defense lawyers have maintained the women were pawns in an assassination orchestrated by North Korean agents. The women said they thought they were part of a reality prank show and did not know they were poisoning Kim.

Four North Korean men were also charged but they left Malaysia hours after the murder and remain at large.

Malaysia was criticized for charging the two women with murder - which carries a mandatory death penalty in the Southeast Asian nation - when the key perpetrators were still being sought.

Venezuela's government has asked the Supreme Court to reject the opposition's proposal to hold a referendum to remove President Nicolas Maduro from office.

It accused the leaders of the recall referendum movement of fraud.

On Friday, the National Electoral Council (CNE) declared more than 600,000 signatures on a petition for the referendum invalid.

The opposition says the electoral authorities are biased against them.

Venezuela is on the brink of economic collapse, facing high inflation and a shortage of food and basic goods.

The opposition blames the Socialist policies of Mr Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, for the country's economic decline.

'Stop lying'

The government says the country's economic elite,


backed up by conservative forces in the United States and other countries, has been plotting to topple the government.

One of Mr Maduro's closest allies, Jorge Rodriguez, has been appointed to check whether there are any irregularities in the recall referendum process.

"We have found a huge fraud against the Constitution," he said, after beginning legal action at the Supreme Court.

"Stop lying to the international community and stop lying to the Venezuelan people," he said.

He stressed once again that it would not be possible to hold the referendum this year as the opposition wishes.

On Saturday, Mr Maduro said theacross the developing world.

Among the chief beneficiaries of Monday's Supreme Court ruling will be India's Cipla Ltd and Natco Pharma Ltd, which already sell generic Glivec in India at around one-tenth of the price of the branded drug.

"The multinational companies will have to find new ways of doing business in India," said Deepak Malik, healthcare analyst at brokerage Emkay Global, suggesting they may consider licensing agreements with local firms to offer cheap versions of branded drugs like Glivec.

Ranjit Shahani, managing director of Novartis India Ltd, the firm's locally listed unit, said it would be cautious about investing in India, especially over introducing new drugs, and seek patent protection before launching any new products. It will continue to refrain from research and development activities there.

"The intellectual property ecosystem in


Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA, said the decision reflected a deteriorating environment for innovation in India.

"Protecting intellectual property is fundamental to the discovery of new medicines," the group said in a statement. "To solve the real health challenges of India's patients, it is critically important that India promote a policy environment that supports continued research and development of new medicines."

U.S. pharmaceutical industry analysts said the ruling was in line with lower court decisions and therefore largely expected.

"For other firms, rulings like this, and just the overall environment in India for branded drugs, make it less appealing. However, you are talking about a major geography," said Morningstar analyst Damien Conover.

The Supreme Court's decision comes after a legal battle that began when Novartis was denied a patent forGlivec in 2006.

EXTRA WORK

Novartis had argued it was entitled to a patent for the amended version of Glivec because the original patented compound was never suitable for making into a pill. Developing the final chemically stable form took years of extra work and it was this effort that marked the real breakthrough in developing Glivec as a life-saving cancer medicine, the Swiss company said.

Glivec is used to treat certain forms of leukaemia and gastrointestinal cancer, as well as some other rare tumours.

India's domestic drugs market is the 14th-largest globally, but with annual growth of 13 to 14 percent and the world's second-biggest population, international pharmaceutical firms say India has massive potential at a time when traditional developed markets have slowed down.

The ruling may dampen enthusiasm from foreign pharmaceutical


firms in the short term, said S. Majumdar, head of law firm S. Majumdar & Co based in the eastern city of Kolkata.

"They will have to get used to it and learn to live with the law," he said.

NOT SO EVERGREEN

Pfizer's cancer drug Sutent and Roche's hepatitis C treatment Pegasys lost their patented status in India last year, decisions the companies are fighting to have reversed. The Supreme Court's latest ruling will make it tougher for them to win back patent protection.

"Henceforth, multinational pharma companies are likely to want that their patents are first recognized in India before launch of a patented product," said Ameet Hariani, managing partner at Mumbai-based law firm Hariani & Co.

India has refused protection for Glivec on the grounds that it is not anew medicine, but an amended version of a known compound. By contrast, the newer form of Glivec has been patented in nearly 40 countries including the United States, Russia and China.

Indian law bans firms from extending patents on their products by making slight changes to a compound, a practice known as "evergreening". The Supreme Court said Glivec does not satisfy a patent's "novelty" requirement, Pravin Anand, lawyer for Novartis, told reporters.

Novartis can file a review petition within 90 days.

Indian Trade Minister Anand Sharma called the ruling "a historic judgment" that reaffirmed legal provisions mandating the need for substantial innovation before new patents are issued on medicines.

Hydrothermal sourcesÂ comes from natural geothermal fluid which are located underground. The fluid isÂ used as thermal source and it is taken out using boreholes. Hydrothermal sourcesÂ are located only in certain places and therefore they are quite rare. On theÂ other hand petrothermal sources are widespread, but rarely exploited. These sourcesÂ mainly consist of â€œheat in placeâ€ in deep rock formations underground.

Currently there is 12 GWe from geothermal energyÂ installed in the world in 24 countries. 99% of those 12 GWe is produced fromÂ hydrothermal sources. Production of electricity from geothermal energy startedÂ in 1904 in Landarello, Italy. The largest geothermal power plant is located inÂ New Zealand with the power of 140 MWe and power is derived from 6 geothermalÂ wells.

According to World Energy Assessment (WEA)Mohamed Elneny says it is vital for modern defensive midfielders to be effective at both ends of the pitch, especially in the Champions League.

The Egypt international has made six appearances since joining Arsenal from Basel in January, particularly impressing on his first Premier League start against Tottenham Hotspur.

Elneny has played primarily as a holding midfielder this season, partnering Francis Coquelin, Aaron Ramsey or Mathieu Flamini, but the 23-year-old says he also feels comfortable going forward ahead of Wednesday’s last-16 second-leg at Barcelona.

In Berlin, an architect’s minimalist design for luxury merges old and new Few markets have enjoyed a more dramatic rise in investment than Berlin.

Architect Jochen Klein has spent nearly two decades working alongside star designer Daniel Libeskind.

He led the project teams in creating the Military History Museum in Dresden and the Jewish Museum Berlin Academy, the 25,000-square-foot tilted cube building located across the street from the acclaimed Jewish Museum Berlin. He also managed the design and construction of Sapphire, Libeskind’s first residential building in Berlin.

But when Klein took on a solo residential project in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg district, it quickly became clear that he would be creating his own architectural footprint.

35BLN, a 43 unit luxury apartment project designed by Klein, includes a minimalist aesthetic characterized by a mixof modern industrial materials and historic authenticity.

The 19th-century structure was carefully renovated in a clean, modern design with steel girders, barrel ceilings, and preserved historic window and door arches. Lofts at the building are grouped around several courtyards while distinctive interior features include whitewashed red brickwork, concrete flooring, and fine Italian glass mosaic.

The goal, Klein says, was to develop an architectural language that focuses on the soul of a project.

“What captured my imagination right from the start was the building’s factory-like appearance – its historic brick walls, and its amazing spaciousness,” says Klein, who studied architecture in Berlin and New York before joining Libeskind. He eventually headed the firm's Zurich office, where he built the futuristic shopping mall Westside in Bern, Switzerland. “From this arose the vision of


project that I’d happily move in myself.”

35BLN arrives as Berlin continues to be one of the most robust real estate markets in Europe.

Few places have enjoyed a more dramatic rise in investment over the past decade, with home prices seeing double-digit price growth since 2010, according to city data.

In the last year alone average residential property prices rose 20.7%, according to real-estate consultants Knight Frank, the fastest rate of all global cities it surveyed.

Today nearly every corner of the city is awash in new real estate developments, ranging from soaring luxury condominiums towers to fully renovated pre-war buildings. Many of the new properties boast prices and upscale amenities virtually unthinkable in a city that was once deemed “poor but sexy” by its mayor.

The real estate boom is beingCongressional District 23 is one of the longest in the country — it takes eight hours to drive across, from San Antonio almost to El Paso.

These contacts allowed Roman Catholic influence to work more effectively. This was especially true with the foundation of the Sacred Congregation of the Propaganda of the Faith in 1622 and, according to Fr. Georges Florovsky, led to the Greek Church in great part undergoing a Western metamorphosis. Among the manifestations of such a metamorphosis was the introduction of the sale of Christian indulgences into the practice of the Greek Church. [1]

These certificates were real indulgences that anyone could obtain


which absolved them from sin. These were often obtainable for a specified amounts of money. According to Christos Yannaras, the absolution granted by these certificates had no connection with any participation by the faithful in the Mystery of Penance, nor in the Mystery of the Eucharist.[2] These indulgences began to be used among Greeks living under the Turkish yoke and were widespread in the sixteenth century. Early in the eighteenth century, the Patriarch Dositheus Notarius of Jerusalem wrote of indulgences as a well-known and ancient tradition.

The practice of issuing indulgences, having existed unofficially at first, received official confirmation at the Constantinople Council of 1727. The Council was called in response to increasing Latin propaganda, spreading mainly in Syria, Mesopotamia, Palestine, and Egypt. In the thirteenth clause of "TheConfession of Faith" from the Council, the text of which was compiled by Patriarch Chrysanthus of Jerusalem and was signed by Patriarchs Paisius II of Constantinople, Sylvester of Antioch, and Chrysanthus of Jerusalem, and other hierarchs in Constantinople at the time who participated in the Council, said, "The power of the forgiveness of sins, which is termed by the Eastern Church of Christ Absolution Certificates when given in writing, but by the Latins Indulgences, is given to the Holy Church by Christ. These Absolution Certificates are issued in the whole Catholic Church by the four most holy Patriarchs: Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem."

Even a theologian and expert on the canonical tradition of the Church as Venerable Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain not only did not oppose, but participated


in the practice of indulgences. In his letter, dated April 1806, to Paisius, Bishop of Stagonas, who at that time was living in Constantinople, he asks him to obtain an Absolution Certificate at the Patriarchate for a living monastic, also named Nicodemus, and send it to him. The Venerable Nicodemus promises Bp. Paisius that he would send the money necessary to purchase the certificate as soon as he knows how much it would cost.[3]

Indulgences as a means of enrichment were condemned at the Council of Constantinople in the year 1838. That Council, like the Council of the year 1727, was devoted to the extermination of Latin dogmas and usages. Its main theme was the Unia. An encyclical, published by the Council, was signed by Patriarchs Gregory VI ofEnglish. A decade after his death, this enormous work is still not quite finished. Publication of the fifth and final volume, S–Z, is expected next year.

But Cassidy had another string to his bow. Creolists and people interested in West Indian English know him as the joint author of the Dictionary of Jamaican English (CUP: first edition 1967, second edition 1980), and also of an earlier popularization, Jamaica Talk (London: Macmillan, 1961). I studied both in great detail when I was working on my PhD on Jamaican pronunciation in London. Cassidy’s DJE co-author, Bob Le Page, was my external examiner.

As well as being a remarkable work of historical scholarship, the DJE also introduced the world to the orthography Cassidy invented for Jamaican Creole. This can actually be seen as


towards the local language/dialect/patwa, and we have now reached the stage where a local company, with the support of the Jamaican Language Unit of the University of the West Indies, is putting out video clips in which the language formerly used only on informal occasions is now used formally. Here is a serious-minded account of Haiti and its troubles, all narrated in JC. Key sentences are flashed on the screen in Cassidy’s orthography.

A Fi Di Piipl is produced by the Jamaican Language Company in association with the Jamaican Language Unit. This video, presented and narrated in Jamaican (Creole), takes its theme from the January 2010 disaster in Haiti, and from the perspective of a neighbouring country, seeks to understand the history of Haiti and its role in thethis English pronunciation between them.

I’m against too much flunkery and titles.

— thus producing an idiosyncratic coinage of his own making, a blend of flunkey and flummery. Both of these words have interesting origins.

According to the OED a flunkey, a male servant in livery, a footman, is a word of Scottish origin (or, as the OED words it, “orig. Scotch”), and supposedly a corruption of flanker, literally a sidesman or an attendant at your flank. Is this a Scottish a misheard as an English ʌ?

Flummery, on the otherthe farmstead (tūn) of a man called Hōc, whereas Haggerston was the boundary stone (stān) of a man called Hærgod. So there’s a metathesis in the latter that has made the names more similar to one another, but they have quite distinct origins.

Dalston, on the other hand, does seem to be a doublet of Darlaston (in the West Midlands). Both were the tūn of a man called Dēorlāf.

During performance, the Navy notified Hercules of inadequacies in the surface preparation.   Hercules corrected some of the deficiencies and received payment for six of the buildings by the completion date.   Nonetheless, six weeks thereafter, Hercules had not corrected deficiencies in fifteen of the other buildings and had performed only early surface preparation on the remaining eleven buildings.   On this basis the Navy ultimately terminated the contract for default.   The Board concluded that Hercules was in default and that the Navy acted properly.

has sometimes been taken as the starting point of contemporary philosophy of language. A century later, albeit with the opposite direction, Jerry Fodor and Ernest Lepore (1992, 2001a, b, 2007) use it to argue against many so-called "meaning holists," including David Lewis (1974), Donald Davidson (1984), Ned Block (1987), Paul Horwich (1999), and Robert Brandom (2001), among others. Needless to say, those holists need to show that they can in effect accommodate compositionality, and thereafter the relevant literature has grown immensely. That being said, it is not as if nothing interesting happened before this explosion of literature. Right between Frege and Fodor, Putnam made his debut by proposing what I shall call "Logical Compositionality:" (LC) The sense of a sentence is a function of the sense of itsde re necessity (in Kripke's sense), and therefore empirically substantial; they seem to be too different to be synonymous. 15. I change slightly the wordings of Kripke to suit my purpose here. "Before" means "before he became a bilingual," and "after" means "after he became a bilingual ." 16. A relevant passage from Burge is illuminating: "The question of what substitutions are admissible on purely logical grounds in oblique belief contexts presents no mere exercise in formal semantics. Dealing with it forces one to consider issues about the relation between language and mind, the community and the individual" (Burge 1978, p. 119). REFERENCES Block, N.
