in november 2010 burkill rejoined british airways , stating
i am delighted that the discussions with british airways , have come to a mutually , happy conclusion . in my opinion british airways is the pinnacle of any pilot ' s career and it is my honour and privilege to be returning to an airline that i joined as a young man .

founded in 1930 , american airlines was formed via the union of multiple small regional airlines and was the first airline to turn a profit based only on commercial passenger service . like its early beginning , mergers and acquisitions have played a key role in american airlines ' s history and growth as an airline . in 2001 , facing financial troubles , twa ( trans world airlines ) was acquired by the american airlines group in a move to help grow american ' s international route map and service . more recently , in 2011 , american airlines found itself as the airline facing financial troubles after its parent company filed for bankruptcy protection . this situation led to the 2013 proposal for a merger with us airways . after some debate , the american airlines name was chosen to live on because of its brand carrying stronger clout internationally . the merger between these two us - based airlines completed in 2015 created not only the largest airline in the united states but also the world .

british airways traces its roots back to the uk ' s first commercial flights . a forerunner to today ' s ba , aircraft transport and travel launched the first daily scheduled international air service from london to paris in 1919 . by 1920 , the airline ceased operations due to subsidised competition from europe . in 1924 , imperial airways was created with the merging the instone air line , handley page air transport , the daimler airway and british marine air navigation . by the 1930s , the airline operated flights throughout the uk , europe , africa , india , australia , north america and the middle east .

1 . british south american airways star tiger ( january 30 , 1948 ) the waters of the atlantic ocean in what would be dubbed the bermuda triangle had already been the scene of a mysterious aviation incident in 1945 when five american torpedo bombers on a routine training mission all mysteriously vanished off the florida coast . a seaplane with 13 aboard also disappeared in the rescue mission . three years later , the star tiger , with 31 people aboard , maintained normal radio communication shortly before entering bermuda airspace on a flight from the azores . the plane , however , never landed , and no distress message ever emanated from the avro tudor aircraft . a five - day rescue effort located no wreckage , and investigators concluded the fate of the airliner was “an unsolved mystery . ” according to the official investigation report , “it may truly be said that no more baffling problem has ever been presented for investigation . ”
the result of these various scheduling systems , changing network / operational demands and government regulations mean that no flight attendant has a regular route . most airlines do use something more along the lines of pbs , and at some airlines — such as south african airways , for instance — crews are just given a schedule every month and must fly what they get .
headquartered in fort worth , tx , american airlines offers over 6 , 700 flights per day to around 350 destinations spread out over more than 50 countries . american airlines operates out of a hub - and - spoke system running out of ten major american airports : charlotte ( clt ) , chicago ( ord ) , dallas / ft . worth ( dfw ) , los angeles ( lax ) , miami ( mia ) , new york ( jfk ) , new york ( lga ) , philadelphia ( phl ) , phoenix ( phx ) , and washington d . c .

i read an article recently about this airline and its tudor operations to south america . unfortunately it was ill - starred and there was an above level number of crashes with this particular aircraft type with many lives lost .
those comments from sober - suited british civil servants opened the floodgates for conspiracy theorists , hack journalists and mischief makers , adding to the mystery of the bermuda triangle .
all possible scenarios that could explain the thrust reduction and continued lack of response of the engines to throttle lever inputs are being examined , in close co - operation with boeing , rolls royce and british airways . this work includes a detailed analysis and examination of the complete fuel flow path from the aircraft tanks to the engine fuel nozzles .

just note that the british airways site only shows options with one connection . so if an option has two connections , like madrid to london to new york to minneapolis you won’t get results . it’s best to confine your search on urltoken to searches from one transatlantic gateway city to another , which in this example would be madrid to new york .
by themselves , the basic facts of what happened to british south american flight cs - 59 are tragic but not especially mysterious . the cause of the crash was a controlled flight into terrain . nothing was broken , nothing was wrong , and it ' s unlikely the crew even saw the crash coming until the near - vertical cliff near the summit of tupungato mountain appeared through the mist . a second later , the lancastrian was in a billion torn pieces , sliding down the face in an avalanche of its own making . those pieces began to emerge from the bottom of the glacier , bit by bit , around the year 2000 .
with much acclaim concorde retired from service in 2003 . heathrow’s terminal 5 was opened by the queen in march 2008 and orders for new airbus a380s and boeing 787 dreamliners were announced . lord marshall of knightsbridge retired as chairman of british airways and was succeeded by martin broughton . the airline inaugurated the first longhaul route from london city airport – to new york .
b744 , johannesburg south africa , 2009 ( on 11 may 2009 , a british airways boeing 747 - 400 departing johannesburg came close to stalling following a stall protection system activation during night rotation which continued until landing gear retraction despite immediate appropriate crew response . subsequent investigation found that loss of lift on rotation had resulted from the unanticipated effect of a design modification in respect of thrust reverser unlocked signals with the aircraft in ‘ground’ status . the investigation found that the potential effects of this on the transition from ‘ground’ to ‘air’ status including the lower stalling angle of attack in ground effect had not been foreseen . )
in 1924 imperial airways was created as the government’s “chosen instrument of air travel” by the amalgamation of the instone air line ltd . , handley page air transport ltd . , the daimler airway and british marine air navigation co . ltd . imperial began services from london ( croydon ) to european destinations as well as pioneering routes to africa , the middle east and india .
, the british airways chief executive , released a statement praising the actions of the
flight and cabin crew [ who ] did a magnificent job and safely evacuated all of the 136 passengers . the captain of the aircraft is one of our most experienced and has been flying with us for nearly 20 years . our crews are trained to deal with these situations

norwegian air shuttle is expanding its u . s . presence by adding flights between london and several cities , including fort lauderdale , and plans to establish more american flight bases to serve as headquarters and training centers for its pilots and crew .
but journalist tom mangold ' s new examination for the bbc provides plausible explanations for the disappearance of two british commercial planes in the area , with the loss of 51 passengers and crew .
from the 1930 ' s the introduction of luxurious aircraft including the hp42 offered customers new levels of luxury . imperial airways opened services from southampton to empire destinations using the short s23 flying boat .
who would have thought that the idle chatter amongst three south african air force pilots in the middle of the egyptian desert would become south africa ' s longest operating airline after the national carrier ? over six decades ago , ac joubert , jms martin and leon zimmerman had laid down the foundations for a business that would offer pilot training , a charter service , and possibly the sale of an occasional aircraft . from these aviation roots a long - standing relationship was developed between comair and the cessna aircraft company .
on 25 august 1919 aircraft transport and travel limited ( at & t ; ) , a forerunner company of today’s british airways , launched the world’s first daily international scheduled air service , between london and paris . that first flight , which took off from hounslow heath , close to today’s heathrow airport , carried a single passenger and cargo that included newspapers , devonshire cream , jam and grouse .
it ' s also been proposed that harmer miskeyed the aircraft ' s name , which was star dust ( all of british south american airways ' aircraft were given two - word names beginning with star ) . this possible misspelling has been a popular theory , so much so that most stories you ' ll find about flight cs - 59 are titled the mystery of the star dust or some such thing . however , in reality , nobody at the time ever referred to the aircraft or the flight by the unofficial name painted on it by the airline . probably the crew was scarcely even aware of the plane ' s name . in radio transmissions of the day , planes were only ever addressed by registration number , in this case g - agwh . and , once again , it would have been completely random and uncalled for to tack the plane ' s name onto the end of a routine transmission .

fortunately , the united states being the cultural melting pot that it is , airlines here have little use for foreign bases because it’s easier to source multi - lingual crew within the country . american airlines has bases in south america , and delta in asia , but it’s not for a lack of us - based staff who speak other languages . ( delta inherited those bases from northwest in their merger and is actually closing them down in favor of flying with all us - based crews . ) at united ( sub - continental or sco ) , for instance , if you’re qualified as a speaker of german , you can be based in newark ( ewr ) or houston ( iah ) and you’ll fly mostly to german - speaking destinations ; however , you’ll still have the opportunity to pick up trips to other places .


the bedtime record is a defunct record label that began in chattanooga , tn in 1997 by jake cunningham .

the label was born from an idea to release 7 " compilations with four bands on each record , two from the united states and two from europe .

all releases were limited edition ( 500 - 1000 copies ) in vinyl format .

the label also released several 7 " singles and a 10 " split .

the bands included golden , the microphones , wookieback , orange cake mix , bob hund , le mans , spring , dent , the ruby dare and fegan among others .

many of the bands featured in these releases were in the early stages of their musical careers and went on to gain wider recognition .

most notably , phil elvrum of the microphones released his critically acclaimed album the glow pt. 2 , which received a 9.1 rating from pitchfork.com .

two members of washington , dc 's golden went on to form the international benga-rock band extra golden and sign to thrill jockey records .

in 2007 , extra golden gained much attention when two of their kenyan members had visa issues prior to the chicago world music festival .

then-senator barack obama stepped in to help the two musicians gain permission to enter the us .

wookieback leader , john ringhofer , released multiple records as half-handed cloud , as well as collaborations with sufjan stevens and daniel smith of danielson and sounds familyre .

in 2008 , jake cunningham founded an artist management company in new york city , long time management , and currently represents 2011 uncut music award nominee hans chew .

the bedtime record

homme’s bedtime story will air on friday 6 th october on cbeebies at 6 . 50pm .
josh homme – the lead singer of rock band queens of the stone age – will be the next celebrity to read a cbeebies bedtime story .
when you’ve completed set - up , bedtime will explain the importance of keeping consistent sleeping habits and sleeping and rising at around the same time .
you can already get self - hypnosis apps to help you get a good night’s sleep , such as relax & sleep well or sleep well hypnosis . bedtime does not offer the same features , but is designed to help you improve your own sleeping habits by helping you go to sleep and rise at appropriate times . bedtime is available from within the clock app , just tap the bedtime item at the bottom of the screen .
when you begin using bedtime ( tap ‘get started’ in the bedtime screen ) you will need to answer a few simple questions before it is enabled . you will be guided through these questions across a series of pages , where you will be asked :
and as with any landscape , the way the songs on the glow pt . 2 are perceived greatly affects the impact of the record . this album simply must be listened to on headphones . hearing the record on regular speakers is like staring at the grand canyon through a viewmaster . the illusion of depth is weak at best , and easily broken . with headphones , the sounds contained within the record absolutely come to life , bouncing and slithering from ear to ear . the use of stereo panning is as integral a part of the disc as the melodies and instrumentation .
university of pennsylvania “sleep doctor” , professor , mathias basner , thinks the strength of bedtime is it may help promote discussion of the benefits of healthy sleep .
once setup is complete tapping the bedtime screen will provide you with a display that lets you see when you should wake and rise at a glance .

madonna is the no . 1 billboard dance club songs artist over the last 40 years , dating to the chart ' s 1976 inception . the icon reigns thanks largely to her record total of 46 no . 1s , the most of any artist on any single billboard chart , and her consistently dazzling performance on the tally since her 1982 debut .

instead , the record ebbs and flows gracefully between fragile acoustic numbers like

murray was born in philadelphia , pennsylvania in 1877 . in 1882 , at the age of five , he moved with his parents to denver , colorado . during his youth he became interested in theater and joined a vaudeville troupe . he also performed in minstrel shows . by 1903 , he was recording for the major record companies .

when the technology changed from an acoustic recording horn to the electric microphone in the 1920s , his “hammering” style of singing didn’t work as well . although , he was less in demand , murray continued to record , did voices for animated cartoons , and worked in radio . he died of a heart attack in 1954 . he was married three times . the first two ended in divorce . he was survived by his third wife , madeleine .

the sheer power of omari ' s drumming propels this guitar - focused record forward . he never stops , never settles , and yet somehow never overplays . this tricky balancing act is common in african dance music , although that does not make drummers necessarily good at it . take a listen to post - fela vintage recordings in nigeria and kenya , before hi - life became hip - life , and you can hear the caffeinated spears and rim shots of ambitious rhythm makers . with such heated guitar lines dancing over the melodies , you ' d expect the drumming to hang in the back ; none of that happens here . and yet there is still space . as relentless and driven as omari is , the storm never quiets , even - - especially - - on the quieter numbers . but the opening

the first woman to achieve widespread acclaim as a professional recording star was ada jones ( 1873 - 1922 ) who was called “the first lady of the phonograph . ” with her clear , strong voice and excellent diction , jones was one of the first women to successfully record on commercial cylinders and discs . her repertoire included dialect sketches , conversational duets , and comic songs . jones was born in lancashire england in 1873 and in 1879 traveled with her family to philadelphia , pennsylvania . ada’s earliest stage performances were in juvenile roles in the 1880s and a brief recording stint with the north american phonograph company until their demise . in 1905 , edison and victor both released titles by jones . she recorded a number of duets with billy murray and len spencer . her popularity declined when jazz took center stage . ada jones died of kidney failure in 1922 . she was survived by her husband hugh flaherty and one daughter .

among the others at the snake - dance was geoffrey o ' hara , whom secretary of the interior lane has wisely appointed instructor of native indian music . mr . o ' hara ' s purpose is to perpetuate and develop the wealth of indian music and poetry—and ultimately the rhythmical dancing that goes with the music and poetry . the indian children already know most of the poetry , with its peculiarly baffling rhythm . mr . o ' hara wishes to appoint special indian instructors of this music , carefully chosen , in the schools ; as he said :
if the navajo can bring with him into civilization the ability to preserve his striking and bewildering rhythm , he will have done in music what thorpe , the olympic champion , did in athletics .
miss curtis and mr . o ' hara represent the effort to perpetuate indian art in the life of the indian to - day , not only for his sake , but for our own . this side of indian life is entirely unrevealed to most white men ; and there is urgent need from the standpoint of the white man himself of a proper appreciation of native art . such appreciation may mean much toward helping the development of an original american art for our whole people .

perhaps the problem is that most pop music doesn ' t put enough faith in the listener . everything must be laid out in the most obvious of terms , and eventually , that obviousness obscures whatever the music originally intended to convey . if you want to invoke the quiet beauty of the ocean , for example , you can write a pop song that says ,
hey , the ocean is really beautiful ,
or you can try to come up with a sonic approximation of that beauty .

, however , i was able to confirm that this track is not on it . where it came from or what it is i have no idea . it seems very likely that it ' s from some other phil release and just mistakenly tacked onto someones files for this 7
. if i can ever figure this out i ' ll be sure to update . for the record , while the three real actual songs from this 7
have been used in mixology , the phantom fourth song has not .
it ' s a huge undertaking to attempt to capture something so visual in a song . but for phil elvrum , it seems to be second nature . the glow pt . 2 , the follow - up to last year ' s gorgeous brainmelt it was hot , we stayed in the water , captures the sea , the sky , and the mountains in a sonic panorama that seems to live without beginning or end . a sprawling , swirling composition that is both as varied and as consistent as the landscape itself , the glow pt . 2 exceeds even its predecessor in capturing the simultaneous wrath and fragility of nature . and sounding really , really cool .

that was one of the better cuts on their sophomore album ; unfortunately it did not live up to the sheer intensity of their debut , which was recorded in three hours in a tin - roofed concrete room in nairobi . spontaneity wins out . the first album was cut with a singer named otieno jagwasi , onyango ' s brother , who tragically died at 34 of liver cancer . the band offers tributes to many , especially this fine singer ; with their third album , they have returned to the fine form which won them honors in the first place . thank you very quickly is one of the top albums of this young ( though quickly passing ) year .

in praise of this governmental intervention , the band recorded what may have been the first obama tribute song , titled simply
obama ,
and released on their 2008 effort , hera ma nono ( thrill jockey ) . unlike the numerous over - sentimentalized and sappy accolades that would emerge afterwards - - recording obama songs seemed as much a pr stunt as honest homage after a while - - extra golden ' s eight - minute guitar - driven track stayed true to the benga tradition of praise , as danceable , airy ( reminiscent of the better of king sunny ade ) and socially relevant .

with this stereo enhancement , parts of the glow pt . 2 are absolutely breathtaking . and perhaps the single most breathtaking song on the album is its title track , which may or may not be a thematic follow - up to
the glow ,
the 11 - minute - long centerpiece of it was hot , we stayed in the water . opening with blasts of fuzzy guitar and massive drums ,
the glow pt . 2
segues somewhat abruptly into another segment of stereo acoustic guitars , before giving way to a drop - dead gorgeous wash of multitracked organs . on top of this , elvrum lets loose what could be the most striking lyrics he ' s ever penned :
i faced death . i went in with my arms swinging . but i heard my own breath and had to face that i ' m still living . i ' m still flesh . i hold on to awful feelings . i ' m not dead . . . my chest still draws breath . i hold it . i ' m buoyant . there ' s no end .
elvrum delivers these lyrics in a melodic stream - of - consciousness style that ' s structured enough to be musically riveting , but loose enough to sound spontaneous and sincere . as the last words of the song fade , the swell of organs segues into a trebly acoustic guitar and hi - hat section highly reminiscent of early modest mouse .

cal stewart was known for his comic monologues as josh weathersby who lived in an imaginary new england town , punkin’ center . the stories featured rural humor that focused on topical events such as groundhog day at pumpkin center or modern life such as uncle josh in a photograph gallery . his boisterous laugh at the beginning and end of the recordings was a cal stewart signature . cal stewart’s wife , rossini waugh stewart , played aunt nancy on the early uncle josh recordings . later , ada jones , assumed that role . cal stewart died from a brain tumor in 1919 and his wife died in 1943 .
ghost culture’s self - titled 2015 lp introduced a unique voice to the wider musical landscape , combining earnest , singer - songwriter led pop with experimental electronics , which later came further to the fore on his subtle and intelligent singles . that same flair of experimentation is also outlandishly established throughout the truly uncategorizable music of babe , terror , a mysterious brazilian artist whose trippy and ethereal music combines elements of ambient , shoegaze and minimal , while sounding like little else .
he married constance dougherty in 1919 , the same year he became a naturalized american citizen . they had two children . o’hara went on to teach at the teachers’ college columbia university ( 1936 - 37 ) , huron college , and the university of south dakota where he received an honorary doctor of music degree in 1947 . his biggest hit was k - k - k - katy written in 1918 . o’hara was also a popular lecturer until his death in 1967 .
occupying a completely different but equally compelling space , new zealander connan mockasin specialised in offbeat and visionary psych - pop . his sophomore album ‘caramel’ earned huge critical acclaim , while his stunning debut , ‘forever dolphin love’ , was celebrated as recordstore’s album of the year in 2012 and is considered a modern classic amongst those in the know

release , light . although 2007 would sadly mark the last of soulsupplement’s vinyl releases , the change in format has provided for a more consistent release schedule as well as the release of bonus mixes that might not have made it onto a vinyl release due to space limitations .

it ' s an amazing thing when pop music expresses beauty through ambiguity . after being pummeled over the head for years and years with i love yous and you are so beautifuls , the most direct way of expressing images of love and beauty have pretty much lost all impact . melodic tricks can wear thin just as easily . hooks are all well and good , but when you ' ve seen a hook enough times , you know not to bite .

projects , this does not sound like two music forms trying to play nice ; it is simply benga - rock , and if it didn ' t exist before it does now .
