Keys To The Jet Podcast – Supersonic Flight: How It Changed America, Part Two – Cold War and the Supersonic DreamFrom the fiery skies of Vietnam to the edge of space, Part Two of our Supersonic Flight series dives headfirst into the Cold War — when speed, altitude, and paranoia ruled the world.Red breaks down the rise of the legendary F-4 Phantom II, the godlike SR-71 Blackbird, and the high-flying dreams of the B-58 Hustler and XB-70 Valkyrie — the kind of aircraft that made Soviet radar operators question their life choices.We'll talk about how the SR-71 outran missiles, how the F-4 leaked more fluids than a 1970s muscle car, and how the world flirted with the future through the Concorde and Tu-144 “Concordski.” Supersonic wasn't just technology — it was national pride, Cold War theater, and pure adrenaline on wings.So grab your ear protection and a cold one, because this episode is loaded with speed, sound, and straight-up chaos.

Miguel Ángel González Suárez te presenta el Informativo de Primera Hora en 'El Remate', el programa matinal de La Diez Capital Radio que arranca tu día con: Las noticias más relevantes de Canarias, España y el mundo, analizadas con rigor y claridad. Hoy hace un año: 60.000 personas faltan a su puesto de trabajo cada día en el Archipiélago. Las patronales ven el absentismo como uno de los principales retos estructurales de la comunidad. Canarias está entre las regiones con unos niveles más altos …y hoy hace 365 días: Una delegación de técnicos de la FIFA pasa revista a la candidatura de Gran Canaria al Mundial 2030. Hoy se cumplen 1.324 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. 3 años y 214 días. Hoy es viernes 26 de septiembre de 2025. Día Mundial de la Anticoncepción. El 26 de septiembre se celebra el Día Mundial de la Anticoncepción, con la finalidad de generar conciencia en la población acerca de los métodos anticonceptivos disponibles para prevenir embarazos no deseados, enfermedades de transmisión sexual y controlar la natalidad. De acuerdo a cifras estimadas, se estima que a nivel mundial unas 214 millones de mujeres en edad fértil desean detener o posponer la procreación, pero no utilizan ningún método anticonceptivo o de planificación familiar. En la Conferencia Internacional sobre la Población y el Desarrollo (CIPD), que tuvo lugar en El Cairo en 1994, el difunto Dr. Nafis Sadik, ex Director Ejecutivo del UNFPA expresó esta frase: Las familias sanas se crean por elección, no por casualidad. 1905: Se publica el primer artículo de Albert Einstein sobre la Teoría de la Relatividad Especial. Tal día como hoy, 26 de septiembre de 1932, Mahatma Gandhi rompió su ayuno de muerte tras 6 días y 5 horas después de que el gobierno británico aprobara la mayor parte del plan de compromiso sobre los privilegios de los intocables indios en las elecciones legislativas.

Años más tarde, el 26 de septiembre de 2007, después de que los monjes se unieron a las protestas en Birmania, decenas de miles de hombres y mujeres comunes también tomaron las calles en la llamada «Revolución del Azafrán», la respuesta de la Junta militar gobernante fue actuar contra las protestas callejeras de los monjes budistas y otros con la salida de la policía antidisturbios más de 1.000 manifestantes muertos tras disparar indiscriminadamente contra la multitud. 2016.- El Gobierno de Colombia y la guerrilla de las FARC firman en Cartagena el acuerdo de paz. 2018.- Google cumple 20 años y es el buscador más utilizado en internet.

Zelenski insta a la ONU a frenar la guerra en Ucrania: "No hay garantías de seguridad salvo los amigos y las armas" La ONU cumple ocho décadas con un Consejo de Seguridad paralizado y con el multilateralismo en crisis. Sánchez asegura que se presentará de nuevo a la reelección en 2027 en una entrevista con Bloomberg.

Trasformare il BOOM di un aereo supersonico in un tonfo sordo. È l’obiettivo di una serie di progetti che stanno tentando di riportare in vita il volo supersonico in ambito civile. Progetti che riaprono una stagione - quella del Concorde - chiusa ormai da decenni, ma facendo un passo avanti ritenuto cruciale, per permettere il volo supersonico anche sulla terraferma: attutire quel potente boato, simile a un colpo di cannone. USA, Giappone e Cina ci stanno lavorando e, seppur meno alacremente, anche l’Europa. Intanto il primo prototipo di aereo supersonico “low boom”, l’X59 della NASA, si prepara a effettuare entro l’anno il primo volo. Ne parliamo ancora con Nicole Viola, professoressa di Ingegneria Aerospaziale del Politecnico di Torino.

Tornare al volo supersonico civile. È l’obiettivo di numerosi progetti che vedono coinvolti i principali paesi dotati di capacità e industrie aerospaziali: USA, Giappone, Cina e UE.Ma il principale problema da risolvere per andare oltre l’era del Concorde, è riuscire a controllare il “boom sonico”: il botto, simile a un’esplosione, è dovuto al fatto che le onde acustiche emesse da un velivolo che viaggia a velocità supersonica tendono a fondersi, formando un’onda d’urto capace di farsi sentire a molte decine di chilometri di distanza, rendendo pressoché impraticabile il volo supersonico sopra le regioni abitate. Da qui, progetti come l’XB1 o l’X59, che pur con differenti approcci inseguono il medesimo risultato.

She name-drops having met Prince Andrew, President Clinton, Donald Trump, Naomi Campbell, Michael Jackson, and other high‐profile figures. She writes about traveling the world with him, doing things like flying on the Concorde, taking flying lessons, scuba diving, parasailing, attending Victoria's Secret fashion shows, seeing the private quarters of Buckingham Palace, and even sitting on the Queen's throne.More than just experiences, her letter is a praise piece: she expresses admiration, gratitude, and wonder.

Iar comentatorii se întreabă cine își mai poate asuma acum reducerea necesară a cheltuielilor publice. Financial Times consideră că prăbușirea guvernului Bayrou „declanșează o nouă criză care riscă să se extindă pe străzi și pe piețele financiare, cu demonstrații și o posibilă retrogradare a ratingului datoriei franceze”. Pentru cotidianul spaniol El Mundo, „situația din Franța este o preocupare pentru Europa”, deoarece „căderea lui Bayrou evidențiază slăbiciunea politică a lui Emmanuel Macron”, într-un moment „deosebit de complex” . Președintele francez „exercită un leadership important alături de cancelarul german Friedrich Merz (...). Revenirea axei franco-germane, după sosirea lui Merz, părea o gură de aer”. Cu toate acestea, „dacă Macron trebuie să se concentreze pe propria supraviețuire”, acest avânt „riscă să se estompeze considerabil”, scrie ziarul spaniol. „Cine poate salva Franța acum?” – întreabă The Wall Street Journal. „Acest fiasco nu este vina lui Bayrou - adevărata problemă este că „reducerile reale de cheltuieli sunt politic excluse” din cauza „partidelor cheltuitoare de stânga și de dreapta (...). Bayrou spera să-i convingă pe parlamentari să cadă de acord asupra unei încetiniri (oricât de modeste) creșterii cheltuielilor publice viitoare. Nu a reușit”. Dar, după cum remarcă ziarul american, alegătorii sunt cei care „refuză să recompenseze politicienii care spun adevărul despre dezastrul bugetar și problemele economice ale Franței”. Iar The Washington Post crede că, „dacă francezii nu sunt dispuși să renunțe nici măcar la două zile de vacanță, cu siguranță nu sunt pregătiți să intre pe picior de război”. Acestea sunt vești proaste pentru Ucraina și Statele Unite, „deoarece ilustrează cât de dificil va fi pentru Europa să devină autosuficientă din punct de vedere militar într-un viitor nu prea îndepărtat”. The Times l-a văzut pe Bayrou ca pe ”un aristocrat ciufulit târât într-o căruță spre Place de la Concorde, care cu greu s-ar fi putut îndoi de soarta care îl aștepta”. Acum, Emmanuel Macron „caută un alt politician dispus să-și piardă capul pentru cauza austerității”. Cât despre ziua de acțiune planificată pentru miercuri, 10 septembrie, ziarul britanic consideră că „sindicatele franceze, minunat de nereformate, se pregătesc să organizeze o grevă generală pentru a protesta împotriva austerității. Strigătul lor de mobilizare, minunat și nihilist: Să blocăm totul!” După cum comentează Der Spiegel, ”mandatul lui Macron se încheie în mai 2027. Cu toate acestea, în practică, președintele s-a autodistrus deja în iunie [2024], când a decis de unul singur să dizolve Adunarea Națională, provocând astfel instabilitatea care subminează în prezent Franța Carisma poate ajuta la inspirarea alegătorilor să apere democrația. Willy Brandt a dovedit acest lucru în Germania, la fel ca și Barack Obama în Statele Unite. Dar poate, de asemenea, să-i conducă pe politicieni la intoxicarea propriilor egouri. O lecție deosebit de dureroasă, una pe care Franța abia o învață”.

INTERVIEW: 22 years after Concorde's last flight - could supersonic travel be back in the air

When planes fly faster than the speed of sound, air molecules can't get out of the way fast enough and begin to pack together. Eventually they form a wave in front of the aircraft, creating a burst of air pressure. And you get a big bang - the sound of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier - a sonic boom. This sonic boom can damage structures and break glass. Because of this, supersonic overland flight has been banned in the United States since the 1970s. That was always a problem for aircraft like The Concorde - it simply wasn't allowed to get any further than the eastern seaboard when flying from Europe. But now, America's FAA is in the process of lifting this restriction. In this episode of Weekend One on One, William Crossley, the head of aeronautics and astronautics at Purdue University in the US, explains commercial flights traveling at supersonic speeds could reduce a cross-country flight from five hours to one hour, saving people valuable time.

Meanwhile, employers such as Positive Planet and Climate Perks are offering extra vacation days to staff who opt for lower-carbon travel methods like trains over flights, part of a growing “slow travel” movement. Finally, Boom Supersonic plans to launch three-hour New York–London flights by 2029 with its Overture aircraft, aiming for business-class travelers with $3,500 round-trip fares and new engine technology to replace the Concorde's outdated design.

Broadcaster and author Steve Blacknell is on the show to talk about his memoir, “Tales From the Bedroom Wall.” Known to a generation of fans for the mid-1980s MTV staple London Calling, Blacknell chronicles a whirlwind life of fame, lost fortunes, and everything in between. From first love Kate Bush to crossing the Atlantic on the Concorde with Phil Collins, and interviews with music's biggest names, the memoir brims with rock'n'roll excess, Hollywood heartbreak, addiction, and redemption. Joining from London, Blacknell dives into the tales behind the pages--and shares his own personal "rock & roll nightmare," which involves Bruce Springsteen.

Relax with Meditation

  | Billy GrahamIt seems we have lost time.200 years ago, the fastest we could travel was on horseback.Then came the car, making us three times faster.100 years ago, Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris in 33 hours.30 years ago, the Concorde reduced that time to just 3.5 hours.Yet today, despite faster cars and planes, we claim to have no time—while in the past, people had plenty. We rush from place to place like madmen, often without even knowing why. Time collapses upon us.How much time do we really have?You have so much time—but for what?You have time to serve God.You have time to live according to His will and obey Him."My times are in Your hands." (Psalm 31:15)What Will You Do With Your Years?If you live to be 70:Your first 15 years are childhood.You spend 20 years sleeping.The last 5 years may bring physical limitations.That leaves just 30 years for everything else—much of which is spent eating and working.What is your life? It vanishes like a mist.Our time is already in God's hands. He has set the day we will pass from this world—whether by accident, illness, or age.Rich people cannot buy more minutes.Science cannot invent extra time.You cannot save time to spend later.Where Does Your Time Go?How much do you dedicate to the Lord—to contemplation or meditation?Are you truly committed to Him?Instead of running frantically from task to task or scrolling mindlessly on social media, pause. Distraction and stress will never bring happiness.We are enslaved by time, frustrated as we rush from one thing to the next, always feeling behind.Don't you see? Without peace in our minds and faith in our hearts, life is futile.And that peace and faith come only from God.You could donate all your wealth to the poor or build grand temples, churches, or mosques—yet still lack true peace. (As Bodhidharma proved to the king.)Daily meditation and contemplation on the Lord are essential.God has a unique plan for your life, and following it brings joy. Stray from it, and you'll never know that peace.Time can be our tool—or we can become its slaves.What matters is not the length of your days, but the depth of your life.Distraction, stress, and empty pursuits waste it.How often have you asked: "Is this worth the stress and pain?"Most of the time, it isn't.Is time spent in meditation wasted? No—it brings relaxation, peace, and connection with God, which is priceless.We cannot love without stillness—and God commands us to love one another.Let love, not stress or social media, dominate your life.Through meditation, we find that love.Every day is a battle between good and evil.Choose God—and you will win.My Video:  Life is Short  https://youtu.be/8OArQFFk2bQMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/Life-is-Short.mp3

We're kicking things off with a brand-new TEASE guitar reveal — and trust us, this one's got everyone talking. Then, big news from the world of effects pedals: Kathy Rhoads, sister of the legendary Randy Rhoads, just dropped a major update via Instagram — the long-awaited Concorde Edition of the MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ is dropping September 2nd! “The first version went fast, and so many of you were asking for more,” Kathy shared. “This version has all the same circuitry, but the finish is inspired by Randy's first Concorde Jackson Guitar, which he designed after flying on the actual Concorde Jet during his Ozzy tour. This is NOT a limited-edition – so everyone who wants one should be able to get their hands on it!” We are beyond ready to plug in and crank one of these up!

In this captivating episode of Kent Hance: The Best Storyteller in Texas, Kent takes us on a nostalgic and thought-provoking journey through two of the most ambitious technological marvels of the 20th century: the Apollo moon landings and the supersonic Concorde jet. With his signature wit and wisdom, Kent reflects on the boundless optimism of the 1960s and 70s, when Americans believed we'd be living on the moon and flying across the globe in under three hours. Kent revisits the excitement and eventual disillusionment surrounding these innovations, exploring how high costs, political hesitations, and public indifference grounded dreams that once soared. He also shares personal anecdotes—from flying the Concorde to humorous misunderstandings in Congress—and even touches on modern parallels with artificial intelligence. This episode is a rich blend of history, humor, and insight, reminding us that sometimes, “the juice just isn't worth the squeeze.”

Marc Marquez's domination of MotoGP in 2025 continued as the sport travelled to Brno for Round 12 of the Championship. It was another double victory for Marquez with the Sprint and the Grand Prix win, but it wasn't straight-forward, especially on Saturday. Dre Harrison, Richard Asher and Oriol Puigdemont break down why Marquez had to intentionally drop the lead of the race due to warnings over tyre pressures, and how Dorna got their sums wrong when caluclating its own regulation. With Alex Marquez crashing in the GP, it pushes older brother Marc's Championship lead up to 120 points, and made way for Marco Bezzecchi to lead the fight for Aprilia, taking his second runner-up finish in the last three weekend. With Raul Fernandez finishing as top independent and Jorge Martin back and happy in 7th, is Aprilia back on a positive upswing? There's also a discussion on a potentially huge story - MotoGP's manufacteurs banding together against Dorna Sports as rights holders for the sport, to ask for a bigger slice of the overall revenue, and to own their own slots on the grid, rather than have them be at Dorna's discretion. Is a "Concorde Agreement" reachable between the parties, and is this more to do with Liberty's recent acquisition? Finally, the 2026 MotoGP calendar has dropped, with Brazil making its debut for 2026 in March, and promise of a return to Argentina's Buenos Aries in 2027.

The day the world stopped to listen. July 13, 1985 stands as a pivotal moment when music transcended entertainment to become a global force for humanitarian change. Live Aid connected London's Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia's JFK Stadium through groundbreaking satellite technology, reaching nearly 2 billion viewers.What made Live Aid revolutionary wasn't just its scale but its immediacy. Unlike Woodstock or other historic concerts we experience through curated footage, Live Aid happened in real-time before our eyes. From Status Quo kicking off with "Rockin' All Over The World" to the "We are the World" finale, we witnessed music history unfiltered—technical glitches, microphone failures, and all. This raw authenticity created an unprecedented shared global experience.The performances ranged from career-defining triumphs to disappointing reunions. U2 transformed from cult favorites to superstars with their electrifying 11-minute rendition of "Bad," featuring Bono's spontaneous rescue of a fan from the crushing crowd. Queen delivered what many consider rock's greatest live performance, with Freddie Mercury commanding 72,000 people like a conductor before his orchestra. Phil Collins made the impossible happen—performing in London, flying on the Concorde to New York, and helicoptering to Philadelphia to play with Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin all in the same day.Beyond raising millions for Ethiopian famine relief, Live Aid fundamentally changed how we understand music's potential impact. It created the blueprint for benefit concerts that continues today, proving that artists could mobilize massive global action. Four decades later, in our fragmented media landscape, Live Aid's achievement seems even more remarkable—a singular moment when music united humanity across continents, cultures, and borders for a cause greater than ourselves.Music in My Shoes" where music and memories intertwine.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in my Shoes Facebook and Instagram pages and share the podcast with friends on your social media.
