Deadly Duo: Sopwith Camel and Fokker Triplane
Philip Makanna/©Ghosts
By O'Brien Browne - June 22, 2017
Two of the world's most famous fighters—the Sopwith Camel and Fokker triplane—are arguably the most overrated.
German Lieutenant Lothar von Richthofen, younger brother of Manfred, the celebrated "Red Baron," peered over the cockpit of his Fokker spotting a mixed flight of British Sopwith F.1 Camel fighters and Bristol F.2b two-seaters soaring over the cratered battlefields of France. In a flash, Lothar led his flight into the attack, guns blazing. Suddenly he heard a Dreidecker (triplane), sickening ripping sound. Looking up, he watched helplessly as the fabric on the leading edge of his uppermost wing shredded in the airflow, either due to enemy fire or, more likely, shoddy construction. "My triplane became a biplane," Lothar later recalled, as his stricken craft went into a steep dive and crash-landed, severely injuring him. Meanwhile in England, Lieutenant Colonel L.A. Strange of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) watched with his stomach churning as a Camel approached Upavon airfield. Quick as a lash, the fighter flipped over into a dizzying spin and smashed into the ground, instantly killing its novice pilot. "Camels continually spun down out of control when flown by pupils out on their first solos," Strange laconically commented. It was the spring of 1918, and both the Camel and the Dreidecker had claimed their latest victims—unfortunately not the enemy.
The Fokker Dr.I triplane and the Sopwith Camel are indisputably the two most recognizable fighter aircraft of World War I, indeed, two of the most famous fighters in aerial combat history. Arguably the most recognizable fighter from any war is Manfred von Richthofen's blood-red Dr.I 425/17, in which he was killed. To this day, Camel and Dreidecker images are everywhere, from model airplane kits to Hollywood films, from bicycles to pizza boxes, from the Peanuts comic strip to countless book and periodical covers. In popular volumes such as Time-Life's Knights of the Air, the Camel and the Dr.I are presented like sexy pinups— complete with double-page spreads—subconsciously magnifying these planes' significance in modern minds.
But are their reputations justified? What was the reality of their performance, and their impact on the war effort? Looking at the sheer number of experienced and inchoate pilots killed in these machines, one wonders what all the hype is about.
The Dreidecker and the Camel shared several similarities. Both were introduced in 1917, as the air war was becoming more deadly. The Sopwith F.1, dubbed the "Camel" because of the humped fairing covering its twin Vickers machine guns on the forward cowling, was warmly welcomed by British fliers. For the first time in the war, they could match the firepower of German fighters, which sported double Spandau machine guns. Similarly, the Dreidecker was eagerly received by German pilots, including the Red Baron, who noted the triplanes could "climb like apes and are as maneuverable as the devil."
Additionally, the Dr.I and Camel replaced outclassed earlier fighters, such as the single-gunned Sopwith Pup, Sopwith Triplane and Nieuport 17 on the Allied side, and the Germans' effective but structurally weak Albatros D.III to D.Va series. The Camel was a natural developmental progression from the Pup and Triplane, while the Dreidecker was essentially a stopgap response to the impressive climbing abilities of Sopwith's Triplane.

The Camel and the Dr.I were diminutive, relatively slow and had low ceilings: The Camel had a wingspan of 28 feet, a top speed of 121 mph and a ceiling of 19,000 to 24,000 feet (depending on the engine), while the stubby Dr.I's wingspan was just 23 feet 7 inches and its top speed was only 115 to 120 mph, with a ceiling of 20,000 feet.
Both fighters had to be flown hands-on all the time. The Dr.I's three wings created breathtaking lift, and the Camel, with its fuel tanks and pilot packed closely together, was extremely light and nimble. Both were highly maneuverable: Their rotary engines—a 110- hp or 130-hp Clerget, Le Rhône or Bentley, among others, in the Camel; a 110-hp Oberursel in the Dreidecker—produced lightningquick right-hand turns that dazzled opponents in a dogfight, even while terrifying novice pilots."The new Fokker triplane which I fly is an absolutely splendid craft, tremendously maneuverable and it climbs splendidly," Captain Adolf Ritter von Tutschek, a 27-victory ace, excitedly wrote in his diary. The Camel, one RAF pilot asserted, "was unquestionably the greatest plane at the front….In a fight it could turn to the right faster than any other plane…."
There is no doubt that in the hands of skilled, experienced and confident pilots the Dr.I and Camel were superior dogfighters and excellent at low-level work. The Camel was particularly good at strafing and bombing ground targets. "They could dive straight down on anything," remembered Lieutenant Victor Yeates, "and when a few feet off the ground go straight up again." Lieutenant Josef Jacobs, an ace with 44 or 48 victories (depending on the scorekeeper), wrote that the Dreidecker "at low level…is very maneuverable and equal to the British machines." After a running ground-level fight with a swarm of 16 British S.E.5as, Captain Tutschek repeatedly outmaneuvered and got above and behind his opponents, noting in his diary on February 2, 1918,"after this day I have a burning love for my Fokker triplane."
Both opponents respected the prowess of their enemy's aircraft. Never try "to fight a Triplane at a disadvantage," RAF Captain Edward Mannock instructed his men, one of whom, when a Dreidecker latched onto his tail, reportedly yanked "his aircraft into a vertical bank, held the stick tight into his stomach, kept his engine full on, and prayed hard" until the German finally broke off the attack.
Prior to its introduction, the Dr.I already enjoyed a formidable reputation thanks to the marketing efforts of its creator, Anthony Fokker, who filmed Richthofen, the war's highest scoring ace with 80 victories, and other aces test-flying it. Indeed, the Red Baron received the very first Dreidecker and scored the first triplane victory on September 1, 1917, shooting down an RFC R.E.8 two-seater. Produced in small numbers, the triplane was initially assigned only to seasoned aces, further promoting its exclusive allure.
Similarly, the Camel was also flown by several successful Allied aces, such as Major William Barker, 50 victories, and Lt. Col. Raymond Collishaw, who ended the war with a tally of 60. After the conflict, the Camel "starred" in an excellent novel, Winged Victory, written by former Camel pilot V.M. Yeates, and the popular "Biggles" war adventure books by W.E. Johns. And when Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, an avid WWI aviation enthusiast, decided to place Snoopy at the controls of a Camel, perpetually cursing the Red Baron, its reputation was sealed. As if this was not enough, it is oft reported that the Camel scored more victories than any other aircraft type during the war: 1,294.
A closer look at the reality of these two famous fighters, however, reveals a more complex story. First, given RFC (later Royal Air Force) victory accreditation standards, which counted "out of control" as a "kill," it is more accurate to say that more victories were claimed in Camels than in any other airplane. Second, and most disturbing, the Camel killed many of its own pilots. As 29-victory Australian ace Captain Arthur Cobby recalled: "A great number of trainee pilots had been killed learning to fly this machine, as its tricks took some learning, although they were really simple to overcome. Its main trouble was that owing to its very small wingspan, and its purposely unstable characteristics, coupled with the gyroscopic effect of a rotating engine and propeller, it flipped into a spin very easily at low speeds. Consequently, in landing and taking off, a tremendous number of fatal accidents occurred, and a general feeling of dislike for the machine was prevalent. It really had people frightened."
As the Camel nosed down in a spin, most novice pilots did the logical thing: They pulled the stick back and applied opposite rudder. Tragically, this was not the cure to lift the Camel out of its deadly spiral. During takeoffs, enough speed had to be developed, with the pilot applying full right rudder to counteract the torque of the spinning rotary engine. Failure to do so often resulted in a loop, with the Camel crashing into the ground on its starboard wingtip. And to recover from a spin, as experienced pilots quickly realized, the key was to center the controls and push the stick forward until the fighter righted itself.
Thus in one awful respect the Camel was indeed king: training casualties. According to statistics compiled by researcher Chris Hobson, the Camel accounted for 16.5 percent of British training casualties, much more than any other type of aircraft during the war. Shockingly, an estimated 385 pilots died from noncombat-related causes while flying Camels, compared to 413 killed in combat.

As with the Camel, the Dreidecker's reputation is vastly overinflated. A disturbingly large number of German squadron leaders and high-ranking aces were killed in the triplane: Lieutenant Werner Voss (48 victories), Lieutenant Walter Göttsch (20), Lieutenant Heinrich Gontermann (39), 1st Lt. Kurt Wolff (33), Tutschek (27) and of course Imperial Germany's superstar, Richthofen. Many others crash-landed, resulting in some pilots requiring extended hospitalization, while still others were killed in tragic mishaps, as in the case of Private Günther Pastor (one victory), who died when his Dr.I hit the ground in October 1917 due to wing failure.
The loss of these talented and inspirational combat leaders—as well as the equally important lower ranks—was immense, especially given the comparatively low rate of return. By the end of 1917, for instance, it has been estimated by WWI air combat researchers Norman Franks, Frank Bailey and Russell Guest that only "15 victories would have been scored in these Dreideckers…ten of which were by Voss."
Indeed, the triplane was so troubled that German military authorities grounded it while a special commission investigated its flaws. Tests revealed poor quality control and substandard construction practices at the Fokker factory. Officials discovered that the Dr.I's ailerons could break during banks and other maneuvers because of faulty attachments. Furthermore, moisture in the top wing affected glue joints, causing the fabric to rip off in the airstream. There were other concerns as well: With restricted access to the castor oil needed for the rotary engine, the Germans used a synthetic substitute, which led to overheating and breakdowns, particularly in the summer months. In addition, the Dreidecker's high center of gravity meant it was unstable on the ground and rocked laterally during takeoff and landing; wooden skids were added to the lower wingtips to prevent damage. Production was halted until these potentially deadly faults were remedied, and it wasn't until the end of November 1917 that the Dr.I was again declared fit for active service.
The Camel, too, was plagued by problems. Rushed into production, some could not reach their operational ceiling in the promised amount of time. Moreover, as Wing Captain C.L. Lambe of the Royal Navy Air Service complained: "The work on Camels has not been satisfactory. Four were sent down with their engine bearers in such a state that it had to be reported….It is obvious that not only had they never been flown, but could never have had engines installed…." On top of this, British-made Clerget motors suffered significant loss of performance with extended use; there were troubles with the Kauper interrupter gear, which enabled the machine guns to fire through the propeller arc; tailskids broke (from March to May 1918, 370 breakages were reported); the port wheel was prone to detaching itself from the undercarriage, causing landing accidents; and the small rudder was "barely adequate," in the words of Camel expert J.M. Bruce. Moreover, it was an extremely cold aircraft to fly. And its rotary engine—as with the Dr.I— spewed castor oil fumes, afflicting pilots with nausea and digestive tract problems.
By war's end, 5,695 Camels had been ordered, and the fighter had fought on every front as well as in a home defense role in the UK. Yet the Camel's contemporaries, such as the excellent French SPAD XIII and the tough and stable British S.E.5a, surpassed it in performance and reliability, reaching speeds of 125 mph and ceilings of up to 22,000 feet. Indeed, one flier bemoaned,"A Camel pilot had to shoot down every German plane in the sky in order to get home himself, as the Camel could neither outclimb nor outrun a Fokker [D.VII]."
The Dreidecker's impact on the war was minimal. Only 320 were produced, equipping about 14 of 80 German fighter squadrons. It was far superseded by the Albatros D.I to D.Va series, whose production numbers reached more than 4,000 by 1918, and by the superlative Fokker D.VII, rightly considered one of the war's greatest fighters, with an estimated production run of about 3,200.
As to their illustrious reputations, the Camel and the Dreidecker have both benefited from being the key actors in one of aviation history's most famous air battles—Richthofen's last flight on April 21, 1918, when he was pursuing one Camel for his potential 81st victory while being attacked from behind by another. Whether he was shot down by Camel pilot Roy Brown or, more likely, by Australian ground troops, doesn't seem to matter: What has remained in our collective consciousness is that the Red Baron died in his scarlet triplane while fighting Sopwith Camels.
In reality, however, Richthofen scored less than a quarter of his victories in the Dreidecker. The vast majority of his kills were in Albatros fighters—also painted partially or all red. Moreover, toward the end of his short life, Richthofen was painfully aware of the Dr.I's limitations, and he wrote to his superiors complaining about its performance. "I would prefer to have the Fokker [D.VII] with the BMW engine or the supercharged Mercedes," he told them. BMW and Mercedes engines were inline, reliable and powerful; Richthofen had had his fill of troublesome rotaries. In a letter to a friend at German air force headquarters, Richthofen demanded,"When can I count on [receiving] Fokker [D.VII] biplanes and with the super-compressed engines?" He noted that Allied fighters were operating at such high altitudes that "One cannot even shoot at them. The two-seaters drop their bombs without our being able to reach them. Speed is the most important point. One could shoot down five to ten times as many [enemy aircraft] if one were faster." Given these comments, it is ironic that Richthofen is today so closely associated with the troubled triplane.
The Camel and the Dr.I were touchy, sensitive and agile fighters, creatures of the war that had produced them. In the hands of skilled pilots they were spectacularly responsive, but with novices at the controls they were more deadly to themselves than to their enemy. Both were obsolete by mid-1918, surpassed in performance, safety and reliability by other aircraft. In the final analysis, we should see them for what they really were: flawed fighters, deadly to friend and foe alike.

Ariana Grande interviews her queen Jennifer Coolidge for EW's 2022 Entertainers of the Year
"I just wanna do one where I do a back handspring off the ladder," the recent Emmy winner jokes after finishing a take on the set of Entertainment Weekly's Entertainers of the Year cover shoot last month in West Hollywood. The actress is looking all kinds of fabulous in a shimmering gold dress and stilettos, ascending a pink ladder to leave her mark on a replica of the famed Hollywood sign. You'd have no idea she's actually facing one of her biggest fears, given that she injured herself climbing a wall to "break in" to her own house after locking herself out years ago. "I don't take big risks like jumping into the darkness or anything like that anymore," she explains once back on the ground.
"People that I've admired for many, many years — for many decades — have DMed me… people that I just worship," says Coolidge, who also had us cracking up in those UberEats Super Bowl commercials and that Old Navy holiday campaign. "I'm like, 'Oh my God, how could this person possibly know who I am?' So that's kind of cool! And then, creative projects that are all of a sudden showing up — some really fun jobs that are coming in, that's about as good as it gets."
Joining Zoom from the U.K. where she's filming the Wicked movies (and fittingly with the screen name "Galinda," with a "guh"), Grande fangirls with her "queen" the same day HBO announced The White Lotus' season 3 renewal. Over the course of an hour, the two are at once admirers and close friends, spending their Friday raving about each other's work, reminiscing about inside jokes, and planning vacations together. Coolidge's new puppy even crashes the party at one point. "It is an absolute gift," Grande says of having Coolidge in her life — and we couldn't agree more.
Read on for highlights from Coolidge and Grande's conversation, and scroll to the bottom of this story to see our nine other 2022 Entertainer of the Year honorees (and the celeb fans we got to tribute them).
Jennifer Coolidge on EW's Entertainers of the Year cover
ARIANA GRANDE: Hello, my stunning and beautiful queen. How are you?
JENNIFER: I get so many people just texting me about your acting skills. You do these great facial expressions and you're very, very subtle, and you're funny.
ARIANA: Not even close. What are you even saying? Coming from you, the queen of all things funny and brilliant, that means a lot. I'm just happy to have your stamp of approval. I just adore you. I was so excited to send you the Halloween skits via text. I was happy that you liked them.

JENNIFER: Brilliant, brilliant. I mean, in some weird way, you're more mature and more advanced than I am, even though I'm the older one.
ARIANA: I don't think that is true.
ARIANA: Anyway, this is about you, my brilliant, brilliant queen. First of all, I want to congratulate you on Entertainment Weekly's Entertainer of the Year. This is so exciting, and beyond deserved. You've been my Entertainer of the Year since 1999, every year. How does it feel?
JENNIFER: I feel like the voting was rigged. I feel like, I don't know, someone got sick or something, but I'm thrilled. I mean, this is going to be something… I'll never forget this. I really thought when I got the message that it was some sort of joke. But anyway, I'm embarrassed because I just didn't have high hopes of things like this, you know what I mean? My life had been sort of flatlining for quite a while, so this is above and beyond, and it's a thrill.
'The White Lotus' star Jennifer Coolidge
ARIANA: Well, you are the most deserving of anyone in the entire world. And I have some questions for you. I guess we'll start with this: You have created some of the most iconic comedic roles over the years. And even if they've been supporting roles, they've stolen entire films with just one line. Do you have a favorite role, or film, or a top three?
JENNIFER: Well, I think my favorite stuff is all of the recent stuff, just because I got to play more complicated people. But, I mean, [the 2000 comedy] Best in Show was a gift, and so much fun to make because [director and star] Christopher Guest lets you come up with everything. He gives you your name and a rough outline of who you are, but you get to come up with your look, you improv all the dialogue. And then Legally Blonde was really a gift from God. And American Pie was just — it helped my dating life in a way that I can't ever explain. If I hadn't had that movie, I don't think… Well, let's just say it would've been a very dull decade.
ARIANA: Well, that beautifully leads me to my next question: You've spoken publicly about the tremendous impact that playing Stifler's mom has had on your life. In particular, how much dick it's gotten you. Do you remember the best dick you got from playing Stifler's mom? Do you keep in touch?
JENNIFER: Well, it was definitely the youngest fellow. He was just very, very charming, and it was very weird because…
ARIANA: By the way, I don't mean to impose. No pressure to share the details.
JENNIFER: No, I'm glad you asked this because you see, I did say that jokingly [in a previous interview] and, God, you really can't make jokes in our town, because I did make the terrible mistake of saying, "Thank God for that movie, I got to sleep with 200 men," or whatever. And look, I would love to say that was true, but I mean, that was sort of an exaggeration — so I'm glad you're asking me.
ARIANA: We can clear the air.
JENNIFER: Yes, clear the air! But it did sort of open up the world to a much broader group of handsome men — and younger men. This one guy was particularly young — legal, of course, it was all very legal — but it was funny because we had to… The one moment was a little bit awkward because he…
ARIANA: You don't have to answer! I just wanted to make you laugh.
JENNIFER: Don't you want to know?
ARIANA: I do. But now I'm conscious of the fact that it's Entertainment Weekly. You don't have to answer.
JENNIFER: No, I won't get into the details. But afterwards, the next morning, I told him I needed to get a blow dry. So he was so young, we called his mother to see where I could get a blow dry. It was so weird that happened on the phone, it was very clear that we were in the bed together.
ARIANA: I'm sure she was very thrilled and starstruck. I would've been thrilled. I would've been like, "Wow. Hello. What an honor to meet you!"
JENNIFER: Well, she gave me a good recommendation at a local mall, so it all worked out.

ARIANA: Oh good. I'm glad. Okay, so back to what you were talking about before: As you were saying, your more recent roles have felt rewarding. Is that because they've allowed us to see you in new ways that we haven't seen you before? And does that feel rewarding, healing in a way?
JENNIFER: Yeah, it has. You get more screen time to play somebody with all sorts of problems and complications. And someone like Tanya on White Lotus, that was a very sort of complicated, messed up person. I'd never been given a part like that, ever. And then creepy Karen in The Watcher. That was someone I had a really good time playing this year. She was sort of the opposite of Tanya, sort of awful. It was just such two great opportunities — actually three, because I got [two seasons of White Lotus]. It sort of completely changed my life.
ARIANA: Speaking of The Watcher, it was just renewed for another season. Do you see a world in which Karen comes back?
JENNIFER: I haven't heard anything from Ryan [Murphy], but I did hear a week ago that Watcher was renewed, and today White Lotus was renewed. I don't know. I hope I'm in both of them, I don't know. I haven't… The telegram has not arrived.
ARIANA: If not, we boycott. I boycott. [Both laugh] I've been watching season 2 every week as it comes out. It's the highlight of my week, being able to watch you. I just adore Tanya, and your work on White Lotus. So… do you kill Greg?
JENNIFER: Wouldn't that be so good if I could just tell you right now? [Laughs] But wait, I do want to say this: I mean, a lot of people say very flattering things to you all the time because you are who you are, and you're the youngest iconic legend I can think of…
ARIANA: Not even close. What are you talking about?
JENNIFER: No, really, you're a superstar, and you know you're a superstar. But I'm curious if you know that when people ask about how my life has changed… Yes, I got to do White Lotus, but I think it really started with you asking me to be in the "Thank u, next" video. I mean, from there I got Promising Young Woman, and this whole thing. You were sort of the instigator. I really believe that. I think if you hadn't put me in "Thank u, next," and done that imitation, I don't think I would be here where I am.
ARIANA: That is absolutely the most untrue thing I've ever heard in my life.

JENNIFER: No, I really think that! And I think it's pretty cool. I was kind of flatlining, and you got things going for me. I just want to thank you. I know you're a very humble person, you wouldn't admit to it, but I'm just going to thank you.
ARIANA: That is a very kind but wildly untrue thing to say. I love you so much. I think the timing was just so beautiful, and you just deserved the entire world. I'm shy, and I just felt so lucky you did that video. Thank you for doing that, by the way. That was one of the most fun days of my entire life.
JENNIFER: Oh my God, that was a great day. We crammed so much in there.
ARIANA: I loved the ad-libbed bit that you were doing about the old man who was doing something under the covers. It was my favorite memory from that whole shoot. I feel like when I watch you in something, I can tell when you've ad-libbed or made something up because they've felt truthful for you in that moment. Do you have a favorite line that you've ad-libbed from anything?
JENNIFER: It's hard to say. I don't know. Sometimes these ad-libs work, sometimes they don't. But I remember being across from [Patrick Cranshaw, who played] my husband in Best in Show, and I was trying to think of something we could do together. And he was showing me that he didn't have any teeth. I had been thinking of all these dirty things we could do because he didn't have teeth, but then, instead, I listed the foods that we could eat together — soups and things that you didn't have to chew. I think, for some reason, people like it better when you don't go for the obvious. I think I'm pretty immature, and I like to sort of do bathroom humor and stuff like that, and sometimes I think people don't appreciate it.
ARIANA: Well, I think everyone really enjoys it. But wait, did you ad-lib the line [from White Lotus] about the nun and the cheese in the basement?
JENNIFER: Yes. But you know what? That was actually a guy at Joan's on Third, that restaurant [in Los Angeles]. There was a guy behind the counter — this was before I went vegan, I was eating cheese — and he let me sample some cheeses. I liked one, and he actually had the balls to say to me, "Well, it's made by a blind nun in a basement in Italy." He really did say that. I mean, those cheese connoisseurs are so full of s—, you know what I mean? It was probably Borden's or something.
ARIANA: [Laughs] Thank you for sharing. I knew that had to be an ad-lib. I said it out loud [when I watched the episode].
JENNIFER: The thing I can say about my improvs is that the best are when I play immature people who have immature taste. Like in White Lotus when I say something about Oreo cookie cake. If you said to me, "Jennifer, you're a rocket scientist. Come up with a bunch of great improvs…" I don't know if I would be able to come up with anything.
ARIANA: Yes, you would. Absolutely. I don't believe that for one second. But out of all of the people that you have worked with over the years, who has made you laugh the hardest?
JENNIFER: I have to say [Christopher Guest's] Corky from Waiting for Guffman. That whole movie just blew me away. There's something about people playing sort of imbeciles but taking themselves very seriously. I'm laughing just thinking of that character.
ARIANA: Who are your comedy heroes? Who's inspired you?
JENNIFER: I've been a fan of Catherine O'Hara's forever. I started watching SNL the day I was born, and I was obsessed with Monty Python. Ab Fab is such a brilliant show… I'm very excited for women right now, because when I was in my 30s and trying to get going and doing these sketch comedy shows and stuff… I did Seinfeld, and then I got this sketch comedy show for women called She TV, and it didn't survive. But it's so weird how, 30 years later, it's a whole new thing where it's actually women who are considered to be funny, and valuable, and they get to be the leads in these big comedies and stuff. And I have to say, I'm so excited for someone your age. The sky's the limit. It wasn't as easy back when I was doing it. I love that Bridesmaids and things like that are being made.
ARIANA: I think you inspired so much of that. What else is on your career bucket list?
JENNIFER: Well, I've done two Broadway shows. One of them [2001's The Women] had a sort of good little run, and then the other one [2010's Elling] didn't really have much of a run at all. But I would like to do a really cool play again. I don't care if it's comedic or not. And I love that White Lotus sort of takes you around the world. I love shooting on the other side of the world. That's kind of amazing to do.
ARIANA: Do you have an ideal location for season 3?
JENNIFER: Oh, I don't know. I would love to do some spooky show in Scotland. Or do a show in Asia. I mean, I'd love to leave town again.
ARIANA: Well, you should. I think you should also build time for a vacation for yourself, being Entertainer of the Year and with all of your work coming up.
JENNIFER: Yeah. Where should I go?
ARIANA: Have you been to Japan? It's the best place in the world. I'm coming with you.
JENNIFER: Really? Well, let's go.
JENNIFER: I love Amsterdam. But I hear the makeup shopping is so good in Japan.
ARIANA: Everything is so beautiful there, and the shopping is amazing. We should go. We'll have to do a vegan cheese tasting in Japan together.
JENNIFER: I would love that. I don't think our country has really nailed it with vegan cheese, but I'm told there's some around the world that are really good fakes and you can't tell.
ARIANA: There are some great ones in L.A. — at Crossroads and stuff. You should order some today, or I'll send you some today.
JENNIFER: Great. Now let's talk about guys.
ARIANA: Oh God. Let's talk about how much fun we had in New Orleans [ed. note: Where Coolidge has a home].

JENNIFER: I know. I wish you'd come back. Come back sometime. Please come to my Halloween party disguised as Rumpelstiltskin or something and no one will ever know. But no, this is what I want to say: I really like the casualness of "Thank u, next." It's not a heavy-handed song where it's like, "F— that fella." I heard the story of how you came up with it, and I just love that every time I hear that song, it still has the same sort of casual thing about, "We shouldn't be taking this s— that seriously." And it's such a good message. You have such a whimsical way of getting a point across and making girls feel better about themselves, and it all being some sort of "Who gives a f—?"
ARIANA: I feel like that is what I get from you as well, the "Who gives a f—"-ness.
JENNIFER: I think this year I really realized I'm living that dream. I'm incredibly grateful for what has happened to me in the last year or two, but I'm trying to channel your "I don't give a f—" thing. And I think it's my favorite feeling I've ever had. I waited my whole life to not give a f—. It's the only time we have power. I mean, I'm not saying I'm not insecure. I'm still insecure about all the basic stuff. I'm still insecure about appearance and all of that. But if someone calls me a D-bag or something… I really don't think anyone can really penetrate me anymore. I don't really care what people think of me.
ARIANA: Do you remember the first moment you realized, "I'm funny"?
JENNIFER: Well, my brother was the funny one in our family, so I guess it was getting out of the family. I was in this show, Grease, during college, doing summerstock. I played Patty Simcox, the cheerleader, and I took this baton and I was doing all sorts of weird s— with it on stage, and this older summerstock theater guy came up to me, he was like maybe 15 years older than me, and goes, "You know that thing you're doing with the baton, Jennifer?" And I go, "Yeah." And he goes, "That's f—ing funny." And I remember thinking, "I don't ever remember getting a compliment before this moment." So I guess it was Patty Simcox in Grease. I don't know. I was such a weirdo. I was so thrilled to get a compliment.
JENNIFER: Yeah, I know. I didn't really get to say what I wanted to say. People that have really helped you out in your career want to hear their name when you're up there — and I didn't get to [mention] a couple people that really, really busted ass for me. So hopefully I'll get my moment to say something publicly.
ARIANA: You handled it in the most spectacularly amazing way you possibly could have.
JENNIFER: I met the guy at the end of the night who was the one that played the music. He goes, "I was the one that turned up the music to get you off stage." And I was like, "Oh." I was thinking, "I don't know if I would've told me that…"
ARIANA: Yeah, that's such an interesting decision… Is there any advice that you've learned, or words of wisdom over the years that you still adhere to?
JENNIFER: It hasn't been advice. It's experience that has given me something I can pass along. I was really sort of lost in my 30s, and I wished I had stuck to my guns. For instance, I just feel like we always think "authority" has the last word. There were people that told me I didn't have a chance in hell — and we can't listen to all these people. I think girls are getting stronger now, and there's all this sort of girl power cool stuff that's happening. But there's always going to be someone who wants to rain on your parade, and you just can't take it. I do believe that I learned that from experience. Some people say with such authority, "I think you're talented in this area, Jennifer, but you're not very good in this." And nobody really knows, it's all a guessing game. I think, don't listen to anybody, really.
ARIANA: Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to keep going and trust yourself — be sort of discerning about what you intake and not let it impact your performance, or your decisions, or your career, or your life, or your happiness, or health. That's one of the hardest things to balance, especially as a performer who has so much energy coming at them constantly from every angle. So that's valuable to hear. That's a huge thing. I share the concerns. I don't like unkind people either.
JENNIFER: People sort of talk with such a strong point of view sometimes, and you're looking at them going, "Well, you teach acting at college, but you've never been in a movie, or never really had a job, and you have such strong opinions." You know what I mean? Some people that have never worked before are telling you whether you're going to be a winner or not.
ARIANA: Well, I bet they're feeling quite conflicted now, huh?
JENNIFER: I think most of them are dead because—
ARIANA: Oh. [Both laugh] Well, rest in peace.
JENNIFER: Everybody's dead now. [Laughs] I just have to say, you're a fantastic interviewer. It's so weird how you ask me what message I have for young people, and the way you articulated it back to me, I really wish is how I had answered. I mean that — I want to put my name on that last thing you said. That was really good. Can I say that I said all that?
ARIANA: Well, I'm crying. But no, I just said what you said again, back to you.
JENNIFER: I know, but it was so much smarter than what I said.
ARIANA: No it wasn't. It was just faster because I was nervous… Is there anything else we're missing? Is there anything else you've never been asked that you want me to ask you, and I'll pretend that it's my idea?
JENNIFER: No. Well, I know what I want to say is that it's so hard to go through life and have hope when your life has been going a certain way that you don't really approve of. I think of these jobs that you just can't make it through the day and stuff, and I feel like this unexpected moment that happened to me can happen to anybody, where you're going along in the car and you've been going the same speed all these years and then all of a sudden this cool thing happens. I think a lot of people think the possibility of a cool thing happening isn't in the mix anymore. And I think I'm a great example of "What are the odds?" And this can happen to anybody. And I know you don't want to take any responsibility, but I do feel like you had something to do with it — my second run around, my second sort of whatever this is. "Thank u, next" started it. You started it.
ARIANA: Coolidge, you silly queen. I've had enough of this nonsense. I love you so much.
JENNIFER: I love you too. I love you. And thank you for doing this. You're the best.
ARIANA: Congratulations! There's no more deserving person in the entire planet. You've been my Entertainer of the Year since Best in Show came out. And then everything that followed: hit, after hit, after hit, after hit, after hit. It's an honor to know you, to call you my friend, and to watch everything that you do. It is an absolute gift.
JENNIFER: I feel like I just peaked. This is my peaking moment right now. Just happening.
ARIANA: [Laughs] I thought you said "peed."
JENNIFER: No, peaked! I just peaked! Just right now. This is the moment. Thank you for what you just said. This is the moment I will not forget.

Who Needs Law School?
When You're Tired of Politics Radio.
The Best Show on Radio.
What is Radio Law Talk?
What Does it Take to Become a Lawyer?
So, you want to be a lawyer? Lawyers help settle disputes and other legal issues, representing individuals and businesses, as well as organizations and government agencies.
In order to join the ranks of lawyers in the United States, you will need to:
Finish high school
Complete an undergraduate course (a bachelor's degree)
Take the LSATs
Get admitted into an ABA-accredited law school
Complete a J.D. degree
Take the bar exam in the state (or states) you will be practicing in
Take regular continuing education
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the employment of lawyers will grow 6% from 2018 to 2028– slow and steady growth, and average projections as far as occupations grow.
They are also anticipating a bit more competition for lawyer jobs over the next 10 years, however, as more students graduate from law school each year than there are jobs available.
How Many Years of School Do I Need to Be a Lawyer?
For starters, you will be needing seven years of full-time school after high school.
That means four years of undergraduate study (after which you would have completed a bachelor's degree), followed by three years of law school, ideally from an academic institution properly accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA).
Most law schools aren't strict about what sort of bachelor's degree you have, but courses in English, public speaking, government, history, economics, business, and politics will certainly come in handy.
Before entering law school, you will be required to the Law School Aptitude Test (the LSATs), and different schools may have a certain prerequisite score for you to enroll.
In law school, you will be covering a variety of courses, which will include constitutional law, contracts, property law, civil procedure, labor laws, ethics, taxation, and legal writing, among others.
At the end of three years of study, you should have completed a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree.
What Do I Need to Do After Law School?
Next, you will need to get your own certifications, licenses, and accreditations. This means you'll need to pass the bar exams.
To practice law in any state, you must be admitted to that state's bar. Requirements will vary by state and jurisdiction, but essentially your J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school, the bar exams of the state, and a panel review from the admitting board that shows you are of good moral character usually cover these.
(You can have a look at the requirements for your state via the National Conference of Bar Examiners website.)
If you want to practice law in more than one state, you will have to take that state's bar exam, as well as meet all the necessary prerequisites.
In addition, after graduation, all lawyers must be up to date about current legal developments, particularly those that affect their practices. Most states require lawyers to participate in continuing legal education on a regular basis— which could be every year or every three years (depending on the state requirements).
Employment as a Lawyer
To properly manage your expectations, very few in-house attorneys are hired straight out of law school.
Experience via part-time jobs, summer internships, associate programs are certainly valuable, but you're most likely starting out under a team, working with more experienced attorneys.
Lawyers by this time may decide to specialize in a particular law practice and work further to gain more experience and clock in more time helping out in various cases.
After a few years of work experience, some may decide to go into private practice, others may be offered to be partners at their law firm (which makes them part owners of that firm), while others may decide to work for the government, or be hired as an in-house attorney for a large corporation.
The median pay for lawyers in 2018 is reported to be at $120,910 per year or $58.13 per hour.

This shift represented a first critical step in the modernization of fashion and revolutionized the socio-cultural landscape. Throughout the years, the House's groundbreaking styles have become iconic cultural and artistic references, and its founder, the couturier Yves Saint Laurent, secured a reputation as one of the twentieth century's foremost designers. Part of the Kering Group, the House kept true to its identity of absolute modernity and fashion authority.

Counter target spell unless its controller pays . If that player doesn't and a spell would be counter this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard unless that player pays . If they do, return that spell to its owner's hand instead.
Also, not a card design, but something I stole from reddit would really like to see.
"What? Chandra said she would give anything to see her father one last time. And I really wanted her goggles."
As an additional casting cost, exile all cards you own from the tournament, including cards you own that are not in any zone, and empty your mana pool.
If Total Victory is successfully cast, you win the tournament. Otherwise, you forfeit the rest of the tournament.
"The game is about winning by any means necessary."
sdfkjgh: Normally I'd agree. However, in the context of a white deck, the +3/+3 would mostly end up going to blocking creatures, unless you have haste (which requires a second color) or fight effects (which requires a second color too); as such I think this is a fairly okay thing. It's also an intentional colorshift to white.
If ~ would enter the battlefield and you do not control at least seven Wastes, exile it instead.
Reduce ~'s Crew cost by one for each Waste you control.
Okay, I am having too much fun with this.
This might become part of a set.
The problem with Land Tokens, is that it becomes hard to determine whether they are tapped or not, unless you have an actual land token card out. Then it becomes a problem of accidentally shuffling them into your deck. Then there's the fact that, why don't you just run wastes as your basics? I do like the base idea for Terraform as a mechanic, but I think it would need to be reworked a bit.
When Exploit the Rules enters play, if you have no life, or if you are playing with yourself, add any number of counters to any number of target cards. Otherwise, remove Exploit the Rules from the game and spend five minutes making up excuses for how this card could have got in your deck to begin with.
"...although the shifting sands continuously altered the physical landscape of the world, the shifting shadows were far more dangerous, altering the mental landscape of the world's inhabitants..."
, Sacrifice a land: Put two +1/+1 counters on target creature.
Sometimes you have to pick up the blade to put down the blade.
Nonsense! Every card should be fodder for an uncard, otherwise people might take me seriously.
Destroy all black creatures. They can't be regenerated.
"SON WHAT IS THIS GAME YOU ARE PLAYING SOME VAMPIRES ZOMBIES WHAT IS THIS HERESY YOU ARE GROUNDED FOR A YEAR"
When ~ enters the battlefield, gain control of all black creatures, all red creatures, and all lands capable of producing or .
If a black creature, a red creature, or land capable of producing or would enter the battlefield under another player's control, it enters under your control instead.
When ~ enters the battlefield, gain control of all black creatures, all red creatures, all black lands, and all red lands.
sdfkjgh : Even in jest or as satire, please do not reduce genocide and slavery to fake digital cardboard. You were warned about this a while back for a Card of the Week entry, and it's not any more okay now than it was then. If you want to design cards based on real-world history, you can do it without making light of the systematic oppression and extermination of millions.
sdfkjgh: What huw said. Don't worry, I made a similar mistake in the past (fortunately took it down before any moderator could see what the hell I did.) Not that it makes it any more tolerable though.
I feel like your mom would be the one how would panic at vampires and the such. I mean, mothers are statistically more over protective, and some of them have the reputation of thinking that because a game depicts vampires, their son is trying to become one.
I feel that this is not really racist, unless you make it so. Specially since the flavor text gives a proper explanation to the situation.
I am still learning how to quote more than one person.
I find the Terrorform mechanic funny. It was a smart idea.
Plowshare to Swords should lose you life to increase strength and put a creature onto the battlefield. In the spirit of how strong the original card is.
Double the spam counters on all creatures.
• You gain 1 life for each creature you control.
• You gain 1 life for each creature yoy don't control.
~ deals damage to target opponent equal to the number of severed Lands you control.
When you remove a time counter from ~ while it is in exile, put a time counter on all suspended cards.
Last Edit: May 2, 2018 17:41:15 GMT by oddnanref: Broken card, that always deals at minimum 5 for 2 mana? Nope. changed wording to solve that.
I apologise. I was just relaying an anecdote of my past, sharing a story of an obviously over-the-top card design. There is a very fine line between anecdote and unacceptability, and I crossed it. I can only offer my deepest apologies.
So, you've still retained the tokens and also made them useless, which is kind of the opposite of what I was suggesting. Here's an idea for Sever that works a little along the lines of the idea for Terraform, and doesn't require tokens or the need to make the lands completely useless.
I was getting there slowly.
I have to apologize if it was frustrating. I just tend to focus on the wrong thing.
This works for what I had in mind. Thanks!
Despite it's great power to connect people from all over the world, it can still be hard to communicate through the internet. And just because I think I may have explained my ideas properly doesn't mean I actually did. Communication is required of both the speaker and the listener.
As long as you are enlightened, artifact creatures you control get +1/+1.
Whenever a player casts a spell with the chosen name, counter that spell.
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player draws a card.
When a player is dealt damage, turn ~ face down.
When a single source deals 4 or more damage to a player, turn Declaration of Trust face down.
sdfkjgh: Guy, flavor. Would you trust a guy that just bolted you twice?
Gorgonzola: ok, then how about "When a player is dealt damage by a source controlled by that player's opponent, turn ~ face down."
Counter target spell if it doesn't share a name with a card in a graveyard.
At the beginning of your end step, remove all stone counters, then place 1 stone counter on any target creature for each creature that did not attack this turn. Stoned creatures get 0/-1 may not attack during their controller's turn.

"Jann Klose commemorates his dearly departed manager in an emotional lockdown-produced video"
"Jann has been integral to the success of MUSIC EXCHANGE over the last 3 years; we send him our condolences on this tragic loss." – Martin Myers
There are a handful of qualified musical examples that best illustrate arresting melody, matched only by complementary visuals that lands their entertainment and message intent, beautifully – "Pilot Light" is one such statement.
Written in the midst of a breakup "Pilot Light", produced by David Schoenwetter and Jann in the former's Manhattan studio in early 2020, hits the listener squarely in the aural solar plexus, in a very, very good way. Add a visual document to support the lyrical investment and what's where the heartfelt investment lands.
Dedicated to the untimely passing of Jann's much respected and very much-loved manager of lauded Big Management-fame, Gary Salzman, due to Covid-19, "Pilot Light's" sentiment rings true to the message of overcoming adversity and rising to the challenge of a day yet to be documented and celebrated for very different reasons than originally envisaged.
The singer/songwriter channels all of his creative ingenuity into a track that's filled with universal appeal and immediacy sure to resonate with an audience grappling with finding meaning behind life's biggest emotional challenges.
Pop/rock needs a lift, something to resuscitate the current lethargy that abounds, and Jann Klose is offering some cathartic bliss in the form of strings, melodic teasing and acoustic transformation.
As to what separate Jann's "Pilot Light", along with his rich and critically acclaimed archive of hit-making records, sit tight and pay genuine attention. "My songs have been heard on Grammy® nominated, Billboard Top 10 charting compilations," Jann points out. "I am the singing voice of Tim Buckley in the Universal feature film Greetings from Tim Buckley, and my songs have been streamed over two million times in the last year on Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music."
Jann's most recent album, In Tandem, features collaborations with some of South Africa's most eminent artists.
He's also opened and performed for a wide variety of artists, including John Oates (Hall and Oates), Pat Benatar and Suzanne Vega. "As a singer/actor, I have performed in Broadway shows The Who's Tommy, Jekyll & Hyde and Jesus Christ Superstar," Klose shares.
There is no time more prescient than now for a track the calibre of "Pilot Light" to guide the way. If ever there was a moment when human emotion and authenticity is lacking, this track shines the light on our collective vulnerability, all while celebrating our resilience to overcome the very worst that life throws at us.

Additional Cable and Broadband Companies to Test 4Cable RF2F Technology
Home Additional Cable and Broadband Companies to Test 4Cable RF2F Technology
Conway, SC – 4Cable TV International, Inc. (OTCQB: CATV) ("4Cable" and/or the "Company"), a global manufacturer of outdoor transmission equipment for cable and broadband providers, is pleased to announce that several additional Cable and Broadband companies have begun testing the Company's innovative RF2F technology to add new subscribers. The additional trials provide a unique opportunity for these companies to bring on new subscribers outside their network service areas by extending lines beyond the 250-foot barrier that currently restricts customers from accessing cable services and products. 4Cable, which has released a new white paper on RF2F's role in the growth of cable system subscriber bases, has created a solution that converts RF signals to fiber to permit up 10,000-foot line extensions to previously unserviced customers.
"The cable and broadband industry is seeing an unprecedented drive to increase revenues and grow subscriber bases," said Steven K. Richey, President of 4Cable. "Much of the growth by the major cable system operators has focused on simply buying their competitors. The recent $45 Billion takeover bid of Time Warner by Comcast was just that, 11 million Time Warner subscribers being added to Comcast's existing 21 million, making it an extremely costly subscriber acquisition solution. However, we have an alternative to this cannibalistic approach and a solution that gives operators an organic growth strategy allowing them to pursue in-demand high speed Internet revenues."
Richey continues, "With an entire generation brought up on Netflix, Hulu and YouTube, cable and broadband providers need to provide the big pipe to give customers access to the high quality services they are demanding. 4Cable is engineering and manufacturing innovative solutions that not only maximize bandwidth opportunities but do so at a lower cost. This allows system operators to capitalize on the revenue opportunities that come with providing access to the triple play of services; video, voice and data. Despite dish and satellite offers, it still takes a terrestrial cable/fiber connection to deliver high quality, high speed internet, and we offer a way for cable and broadband providers to extend their services to new customers, providing them with an innovative opportunity to grow their subscriber bases organically without having to take out a competitor."
4Cable continues to receive orders from a wide range of cable service providers and 2nd-tier cable companies wanting to test the RF2F technology's ability to add new subscribers from the numerous unserved line extension opportunities that exist across the country. Within each one of those line extensions there are several customers that could add to a system operator's revenues and valuations.
"We are receiving daily inquiries from cable system operators across the country," said Gene Faulkner, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at 4Cable. "With RF2F, in addition to adding high speed internet subscribers, cable and broadband companies have the ability to organically grow their important video penetration, the metric their success continues to be measured on, at far below the current construction ROI models. They want a solution that works, that can be integrated into their customer growth plans, and are looking forward to seeing how our RF2Fworks in the field. "

US Chamber of Commerce CEO calls for doubling immigration into US, 'permanent solution' for DACA recipients
Chamber of Commerce seeks large immigration increase
By Adam Shaw FOXBusiness
Biden needs to change immigration policy, 'seal' the border: Florida lawmaker
Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., provides insight into a new immigration bill she's proposing to help the migrant surge at the southern border.
The head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce used a speech this week to call for the doubling of legal immigration into the United States as well as a "permanent solution" for illegal immigrants who came to the country as children.
CEO Suzanne Clark said in the speech Tuesday that fellow CEOs and business leaders believe there is a "workforce shortage" posing a crisis that is "contributing to supply chain disruptions and rising inflation."

"So, who wants to put their talent to work and pursue their dreams in a dynamic economy flush with opportunity? Immigrants of every skill level. Where are they going to go? The U.S. or Canada? Let's make it Austin or Boston, Atlanta or Denver, or any of the countless U.S. destinations in search of top talent," she said.
"We must double the number of people legally immigrating to the U.S. And we must create a permanent solution for the 'dreamers' – those young men and women who know no other home and who contribute to their communities, but whose legal status is in limbo," she said.

"Dreamer" is an activist-preferred term to refer to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, many of whom were given temporary protection under the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. There have been a number of pushes in Congress to give a more permanent legal status to those protected from deportation.
The Chamber of Commerce has long been seen as a Republican ally, but House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Breitbart News, which first reported Clark's comments, that the chamber had "left the party a long time ago."
2021 IN REVIEW: HOW THE PUSH FOR AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS STUMBLED
"I just assume they have as much influence in the future as they do now — none," McCarthy said. "Our responsibility is to the American public. That is who's going to drive it. If special interests are the American public then they'll have a say, but it's the American public we're going to."
Corporations, Democrats and activists have put forward a number of significant immigration measures, as well as various forms of amnesty for illegal immigrants. However, those efforts stumbled last year as a comprehensive immigration bill failed to gain any Republican support in the Senate and a budget reconciliation bill -- which included a range of immigration provisions -- was shut down by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.
The various proposals in those legislative efforts included pathways to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants, including DACA recipients, "essential" workers and others.
Meanwhile, on legal immigration, the immigration reform bill would have dramatically increased the caps for work, family and diversity visas, while provisions in the budget reconciliation bill included a measure in which "unused" green cards from prior years would be "recaptured" to be used to reduce backlogs. That effort has the support of Big Tech companies, who lobbied for their inclusion given how it would benefit tech workers with H-1B visas.

Manpower exports dropped by more than half
dailyindustry September 4, 2021
Staff Correspondent: The whole world is stagnant due to the COVID pandemic, yet the journey abroad in the hope of changing fortune does not stop. Although more than seven lakh people left the country in 2019, it has come down to less than half in 2020.
It is learned that 2,17,669 people migrated from Chattogram to different countries in eight months from January to March and August to December 2020. Around 1,95,240 people migrated in five months from January to May 2021 – which means, 2,83,782 people have left the country in the last 14 months.
In 2020, 1,61,726 people migrated to Saudi Arabia, 21,071 people to Oman, 10,085 to Singapore, 3,769 to Jordan, 3,608 to Qatar, 2,014 to Mauritius, 1,744 to Kuwait, 1,082 to UAE, 530 to Brunei, 488 to Lebanon, 208 to South Korea, 142 to Japan, 125 to Malaysia, 93 to Libya, 21 to the UK, 3 to Bahrain, 2 to Sudan and 477 people migrated to other countries.
In 2021, 1,44,394 people migrated to Saudi Arabia, 19,042 to Oman, 12,139 to Singapore, 5,332 to Jordan, 4,633 to UAE, 2,018 to Qatar, 71 to Italy, 63 to Lebanon, 30 to Kuwait, 19 to the UK, 14 to Malaysia, 14 to Mauritius, 10 to Brunei, 9 to Bahrain, 3 to Japan, 3 to Libya, 3 to Iraq and 1,727 people migrated to other countries.
Statistics show that the largest number of people migrated to Saudi Arabia in the Middle East in 14 months. In other words, the majority of Bangladeshi workers were in that country. Oman is in the next position towards abundance. There are also Singapore, Jordan, the UAE and Qatar.
According to the Chattogram District Employment and Manpower Office, 50,758 women and 3,62,151 men have left the country in 14 months.
According to the Bangladesh Association of International Recruiting Agencies (BAIRA), the migration of workers has come to a standstill due to the stagnation in the international labor market for the COVID effect. Due to some improvement in the COVID situation, different countries are currently are taking workers. As a result, the country's remittances are increasing day by day.
Tk 8,44,938 crore remittances came in the first four months of this year. Tk 18,27,190 crore remittances came in 2020. Besides, Bangladesh received remittances of Tk 15,55,948 crore in 2019 and Tk 13,17,722 crore remittances in 2018.
BAIRA Secretary Dr. Muhammad Abdul Jalil said many skilled workers could not migrate to countries last year due to the closure of flights to different countries of the world. But now, the situation turned somewhat normal. We are also trying to send workers.

Bribery in Its Purest Form
Reports on the repeated failure of the UK regulatory authorities over a 10-year period to take action to prevent assets acquired through corrupt means being traded on the London markets.
In September 2016, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) charged Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC (Och-Ziff), one of the largest hedge funds in the world, with conspiracy to violate the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which regulates the New York stock exchange, also announced that Och-Ziff had agreed to settle civil charges of violating the FCPA. RAID's report examines the corrupt transactions in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and suspicious payments in Zimbabwe, as detailed by the SEC and DOJ.

O judiciário do Reino Unido é o judiciário distinto dos três sistemas jurídicos da Inglaterra e País de Gales, Irlanda do Norte e Escócia. No entanto, os juízes da Suprema Corte do Reino Unido, a Comissão Especial de Recursos de Imigração, os Tribunais de Trabalho, o Tribunal de Recursos de Trabalho e o sistema de tribunais do Reino Unido têm jurisdição em todo o Reino Unido. No direito do trabalho, os tribunais de trabalho e o Employment Appeal Tribunal têm jurisdição em todo o a Grã-Bretanha (ou seja, não na Irlanda do Norte).

Juízes da Suprema Corte
A Suprema Corte do Reino Unido são conhecidos como Juízes da Suprema Corte, e também são Conselheiros Privados. Os juízes da Suprema Corte recebem o título de cortesia de Senhor ou Senhora vitalício.

O Supremo Tribunal é um Tribunal relativamente novo criado em outubro de 2009 na sequência da Lei da Reforma Constitucional de 2005. Anteriormente, o Supremo Tribunal de Apelação do Reino Unido era o Comitê de Apelação da Câmara dos Lordes, formado pelos Lords of Appeal in Ordinary, também conhecidos como Law Lords, que com outros Lord Justices agora formam a Suprema Corte. Também assumiu casos de devolução do Comitê Judiciário do Conselho Privado. Esses Law Lords tinham permissão para se sentar na Câmara dos Lordes e eram membros vitalícios.

A Suprema Corte atua como a mais alta corte de apelação para todos os casos na Inglaterra e País de Gales e na Irlanda do Norte, mas apenas para casos civis na Escócia. O Tribunal Superior da Justiça continua a ser o tribunal de último recurso na Escócia para processos criminais. O High Court of Justiciary continua a ser o tribunal de último recurso na Escócia para processos criminais..

O Supremo Tribunal é dirigido pelo Presidente e Vice-Presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federal e é composto por mais dez Ministros do Supremo Tribunal.

Os juízes não usam vestidos ou perucas na corte, mas em ocasiões cerimoniais usam vestidos de damasco preto com renda dourada sem peruca.

Tribunal Judiciário
O sistema de tribunais do Reino Unido faz parte do sistema nacional de justiça administrativa com tribunais classificados como órgãos públicos não departamentais (NDPBs). Embora tenha crescido em uma base ad hoc desde o início do século XX, a partir de 2007 as reformas foram postas em prática para construir um sistema unificado com autoridade judicial reconhecida, rotas de apelação e supervisão regulatória, e membros legalmente qualificados reconhecidos de tribunais como membros do judiciário que têm garantia de independência judicial continuada. O sistema de tribunal do Reino Unido é chefiado pelo Presidente Sênior dos Tribunais.

Have a Legal Register? Stay Current on Laws Applicable to Your Business
by Brittany Tofinchio Palmer
The ISO 14.001:2004 and new 2015 Standards require that organizations evaluate laws that are applicable to their operations. Regulatory agencies around the world conduct audits and inspections to determine whether organizations are in compliance with applicable environmental, health, and safety laws. Today, many organizations have places of business in more than one country or in more than one area of a country. Each country, and in many cases, each state or province within a country, have their own laws that organizations are required to comply with. The regulatory landscape is constantly changing, which makes it near impossible to keep up with the latest laws and amendments to laws, let alone which of those may be applicable to an organization's operations. This is why having a good legal register is of paramount importance.
Legal registers contain a list of laws that are applicable to an organization's operations and can be provide information at the federal, state, and/or municipal levels. They can be tailored and built with varying degrees of information in order to meet compliance standards in a particular country. For example, one country may only require that an organization maintain a list of laws it has found to be applicable while another may require that list plus the specific sections of each law that are applicable. In addition, an organization may want as much detail as possible in their register to make it easier to maintain compliance, regardless of what a country or state requires. This could include not only the applicable laws and sections but the text of the particular section or a summary of the requirements and tasks that the company needs to do in order to maintain compliance with that section.

Q: IOS application web-scraping dilemma I have implemented a web-scraping iOS application for a service provider to get data usage information. This used to work fine using NSURLConnection to post the username and password to the site, and then scrape the response.
However, said service provider has recently upgraded their account website and the login step now also includes an account selection step. So you first provide a username and password, the response then includes a list of all your accounts. This is presented in a selectable list. Clicking an account causes another postback, the response is the data I want to scrape.
I am unsure how to programatically perform this second step, since no data is sent with the request, and no extra cookies are set. Each clickable account link causes a __dopostback javascript action, so it is all handled serverside. There seems no way for me to perform this postback using nsurlconnection as no data about which account was clicked is sent with the post.
Any ideas how I could get around this?

Complaints about trash and homeless at Papago Park in Tempe
By: Sonu Wasu
After numerous complaints from residents using Papago Park trails, the city of Tempe is working on coming up with a long-term solution to fix the problems of trash and homeless camps which seem to keep popping up.
The city did a big clean up in several areas of the park about three months ago , but residents have complained and said the trash is back, and so are the homeless.
Many feel the clean-ups are just a band-aid fix to a much bigger problem.
"We're hearing a lot of the same concerns again," said Tempe Councilman Kolby Granville.
He had pledged to walk the trails every two weeks and look at the problem areas identified by concerned residents for himself.
"It was really at a scale that I hadn't anticipated or thought was even possible in Tempe. Frankly, it was a disaster. Piles of trash, shopping carts, it wasn't just people passing through. It was people that had living room furniture set up, clothes hanging up," said Granville.
In addition to the trash, residents worried about safety. One man who asked not to be identified said he had been attacked by a homeless man with a knife.
Granville said he too felt harassed during one of his walks to check out conditions at park trails.
"The first time, I was cat-called and yelled at. Like, 'Why are you walking around in my neighborhood?' Um no. This is a park. You're actually squatting here. It's against the law," said Granville.
A Tempe spokeswoman said workers went through and cleaned up the area 12 times since April. That included passes through Tempe Butte, LoPiano Bosque, Green Belt and Hallman Preserve. Crews picked up almost 10 tons of trash and put in more than 250 hours of labor.
She added that it had proved to be a difficult solution and they hoped to manage it holistically, taking the homeless population into account. The city was sending outreach teams to the area to help get services for the homeless.
Granville said one solution was to add more full-time staff to the outreach teams.
In a statement, city officials said they understood "the seriousness and urgency of what people are saying to us. We are trying to solve it with a measure of humanity and compassion and are asking for patience as we do that."
The city has five addition clean-ups scheduled in the area during September and October, including three in the next week or so.
The city plans to host a presentation to council at a meeting scheduled to take place in mid-October.

José del Castaño Cardona (1895-9 de septiembre de 1973) fue un diplomático español que ocupó diversos cargos durante la dictadura franquista.

Biografía
Era diplomático de carrera. Entre diciembre de 1932 y junio de 1936 desempeñó la jefatura de la Sección de Política de Ultramar y Asia en el Ministerio de Estado. Tras el estallido de la Guerra civil, Del Castaño se unió a los sublevados; por ello, el gobierno republicano lo separó del servicio. No obstante, en febrero de 1937 fue nombrado miembro de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores con sede en Salamanca. Unos meses después (el 15 de agosto) fue nombrado delegado nacional del Servicio Exterior de Falange. Al frente de este organismo se aseguró de organizar el servicio exterior y canalizar toda la propaganda falangista hacia Hispanoamérica. El 27 de mayo de 1939 fue sustituido por Rafael Sánchez Mazas, y Del Castaño pasó a ocupar el cargo de Inspector general de Falange Exterior a lo largo del siguiente año.

En noviembre de 1940 fue nombrado Cónsul general de Filipinas y jefe provincial de la Falange Filipina. Este doble nombramiento se debió a los problemas que había habido con anterioridad entre los jefes de la Falange filipina y la oligarquía local hispano-filipina, especialmente en el caso del falangista Martín Pou. Castaño, sin embargo, no llegó a Filipinas hasta julio de 1941, y en Manila se topó con la desconfianza de las autoridades norteamericanas, conocedoras de su pasado. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, después de que el archipiélago filipino fuera ocupado por los japoneses, Castaño mantuvo una actitud colaboracionista con las autoridades niponas. Ello le valió para ser brevemente arrestado por los norteamericanos en 1945, después de que estos reconquistaran Manila, y posteriormente deportado a la España franquista.

Durante la Dictadura franquista ejerció otros cargos. En 1949, mientras se encontraba destinado en Cuba, las autoridades locales presionaron al gobierno de Madrid para que trasladasen a Castaño fuera de la isla; Castaño tenía muy mala reputación entre una parte de la población cubana por su anterior papel en Filipinas y por las acusaciones de que había organizado una red de espionaje nazi-fascista. Las presiones surtieron efecto y poco después Castaño fue traslado a la legación de Buenos Aires. Posteriormente llegaría a ejercer el cargo de embajador en Egipto, Sudán y Dinamarca. Se jubiló en 1965.

Falleció en Madrid el 9 de septiembre de 1973.
