Mayday
Mayday is an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal in voice procedure radio communications.
It is used to signal a life-threatening emergency primarily by aviators and mariners, but in some countries local organizations such as firefighters, police forces, and transportation organizations also use the term. The call is always given three times in a row ("Mayday Mayday Mayday") to prevent its being mistaken for some similar-sounding phrase under noisy conditions, and to distinguish an actual Mayday call from a message about a Mayday call.
History
The Mayday procedure word was originated in 1923, by Frederick Stanley Mockford (1897–1962). A senior radio officer at Croydon Airport in London, Mockford was asked to think of a word that would indicate distress and would easily be understood by all pilots and ground staff in an emergency. Since much of the traffic at the time was between Croydon and Le Bourget Airport in Paris, he proposed the word "Mayday" from the French "m’aider" (Translates to: "help me").
¡Mayday!

The group consists of rappers Bernz and Ben Miller (aka Wrekonize) along with producer, keyboard player and guitarist Ken Preiser (aka Plex Luthor), percussionist Andrews Mujica (aka NonMS), drummer Terrel (aka L T Hopkins), and bassist Gianni Perocapi (aka Gianni Cash).

Career
Early days (2006-2011)
The band is known for its Miami-underground hit "Quicksand", which earned them a deal with SouthBeat Records, and their first single and 2006 music video "Groundhog Day", featuring Cee-Lo Green (directed by Jokes) which received over 2 million views on the online video site YouTube within only a day of being added. Lil Wayne worked with the group for two unofficial videos; both videos - Da Da Da and Get a Life, were filmed on the roof of a building in the middle of the day, with spectators apparently attending a free concert.

LBR (file format)
The .LBR file format was an archive file format used on CP/M and DOS operating systems during the early 1980s. .LBR files were created by the LU program; later programs like NULU arrived for .LBR creation, and many tools such as LT and QL were capable of extracting from .LBR archives. .LBR is an abbreviation of "Library", and, resembling the .tar file format, member files were only stored in the .LBR file, not compressed. As transfer of LBR files by modem was common, it was typical practice for archiving a collection of files to compress them using the SQ or CRUNCH programs then store them in an .LBR archive, or else (more rarely) store the files in the LBR archive, then use SQ or CRUNCH to compress the archive. A compressed LBR archive file was given the extension ".LQR" (if squeezed) or ".LZR" (if crunched); however, it was more common to compress the members of the archive than to compress the archive as a whole.
As MS-DOS and other operating systems became more popular and displaced CP/M, .LBR's popularity waned. The development of the ARC archiver which both compressed and archived files in one program went a long way towards displacing .LBR on MS-DOS systems; on CP/M systems, .LBR persisted longer due to the lack of a useful ARC port.
