This third parable represents the church at Pergamos, meaning "high tower" and "married." The professing church becomes huge, a state institution under Constantine the Great. The big tree and the unclean birds (nations) find shelter there.
I can't stress too much how important it is that we see these parables accurately. So much wrong teaching has developed with the misinterpretation of them The "field" in these parables is NOT Israel, and it is NOT the church. It is the WORLD. Jesus said so in His own exposition throughout this chapter. If we keep this in mind as we study, it will help clarify what Jesus was actually teaching.
Also, the church is NOT the kingdom of heaven that Jesus mentions in the parables.The kingdom of heaven in these parables represents all who profess, but not all who truly possess, the faith. The mustard seed parable shows the outward development of the kingdom of the heavens as it grows and expands, in an unnatural way, and becomes the roosting place of the birds of heaven.
The almost universal understanding of this mustard seed and its miraculous growth is that it fully declares the expansion of the church. The birds of heaven are thought to be the people and nationsw who find shelter in the church. As it continues to grow, the mustard tree spreads over the entire earth, soon covering the earth like the waters cover the deep. If all that had really been what Jesus meant, then this parable would be in complete contradiction with other reachings in the Bible concerning the church in the earth, its mission and its future. The church is not "of the world," but for a time is IN the world. Don't forget that the field is the world. The mustard tree is rooted in the field, the world; in John 17:14 Jesus said that neither He nor those who believe in Him are in the world. The church, made up of those who truly believe in Him, is not of the world.
The mustard tree, however, is firmly planted and rooted in the world. God never intended His church to be of the world; He never reveals to us in His Word that the church would become a worldwide shelter. It is, rather spoken of as a local assembly, not a trans-world organization.
So, if the mustard seed and its growth is not the church, then what is it? It is the Kingdom of the heavens, or professing Christendom. Now the parable makes sense The little mustard seed was not destined to be a tree, but only a shrub.It is, in modern slang, a "freak of nature" when it grows beyond shrub into tree. Likewise the church, committed into the care of man, developed into an unnatural thing. It is professing Christendom as a system of the world, professing Christ without possessing Him and His Spirit.
If the mustard tree were the church, then the birds would have to be converted sinners. However, there is no instance in the Bible in which birds represent good. In the first parable, the birds were instruments of Satan. Birds of heaven, or fowls, never mean anything good in Scripture. In this parable, the birds are the unsaved, unconverted people and nations who flock for selfish motives to the tree, the outward form of Christendom, and find shelter there. But they defile the tree.

School board trustee, Black Lives Matter call for armed police to be taken out of Edmonton public schools
posted by Duncan Kinney | 32RTs
The Edmonton Public School Board and the Edmonton Catholic School district spent $1.67 million combined on armed police in schools for their school resource officer (SRO) program in the 2018-2019 school year.
In the 2019-2020 school year there were 29 police officers in 36 different schools in Edmonton.

That funding is roughly the equivalent of hiring 16.5 teachers or 33 educational assistants, say school board trustees familiar with budgeting.
While school boards continue to fund police in schools, school budgets are under incredible strain. Severe funding cuts imposed by the provincial UCP government have led to hundreds of layoffs across the system. But the Edmonton Public School Board has chosen to prioritize spending more than a million dollars a year to hire SROs over hiring educational staff.
That may change at a meeting on June 23 where trustees will be debating suspending the SRO program. School board trustee Bridget Stirling is asking for an independent review of the program that will focus on the experiences of Black, Indigenous and other marginalized students. That motion will also investigate whether SROs with disciplinary records have been placed in schools, review all police activity in schools, and call for the suspension of the program until the review and the investigation are completed.
"I'm not a fan of the SRO program in general. I think it's inappropriate for full-time police officers to be in schools. I know there are varying degrees of knowledge around the topic and not all trustees are ready to end the program, so I think the review process is important so we can understand how it affects students. This review is very similar to what's been done in other cities like Toronto or Waterloo," says Stirling.
Following a review the Toronto District School Board suspended their SRO program in 2017. The school board, which has nearly 250,000 students, saw suspensions drop 24 per cent and expulsions drop 53 per cent the following school year.
"We're spending over a million dollars a year for a program with no public accountability with no data, with no research. And it has actually expanded into junior highs with no review," says Bashir Mohamed, a writer and researcher on anti-black racism in Canada who has done extensive research on SROs.
"It seems dangerous that we're putting so much money towards armed policing, arresting and entrapping kids. That money could fund actual classroom resources. We already know how teachers and education assistants help students but when it comes to the research on school resource officers all we do actually know is that they introduce students at an early age to the criminal justice system."
Mohamed is also concerned about recent media statements by the Edmonton Police Service that seek to downplay how much active policing is happening in schools.
"If they've been victimized in a crime, or if they have a mental health concern, or they're suicidal or an addictions concern or they've been hurt in a crime of some sort. It's being able to go to the SRO and counting on the SRO for a professional and respectful and dignified response to their concern," said Em Chan, acting staff sergeant of the EPS' school resource officer program to the Edmonton Journal.
Mohamed disagrees. "If you look at how the program is publicly portrayed it's framed around community building and building relationships with students but that's clearly a cover to sanitize what they actually do in schools, which is active policing. If we want relationship building with students we would hire someone who was unarmed, who was trained in how to do that."
Black Lives Matter Edmonton is also calling for the elimination of the School Resource Officer Program. They're currently asking supporters and the public to email their school board trustee and ask them to eliminate the program.
The open letter from BLM Edmonton argues that "School Resource Officers do not contribute to an inclusive, and or safe learning environment in schools. The SRO Program criminalizes and disproportionately targets Black, Indigenous and otherwise marginalized students who access schools within the Edmonton Public and Catholic School Board districts." BLM Edmonton is calling for the money presently spent on school police to be put instead into programs to assist marginalized students.

Hadžipopovac (en serbe cyrillique : ) est un quartier de Belgrade, la capitale de la Serbie. Il est situé dans la municipalité de Palilula. En 2002, il comptait  habitants.

Présentation
Hadžipopovac est situé au centre de la section urbaine de la municipalité de Palilula. Il est bordé par le quartier de Paliula au sud, par la municipalité de Zvezdara (quartier de Slavujev venac et Nouveau cimetière de Belgrade) à l'est, par le quartier de Bogoslovija au nord et par le quartier et la municipalité de Stari grad à l'ouest. Hadžipopovac est délimité par les rues Ruzveltova, Cvijićeva, Čarlija Čaplina et par le Bulevar despota Stefana (le « boulevard du desposte Stefan Lazarević »).

Profesorska kolonija
Grosso modo, la partie orientale du quartier de Hadžipopovac chevauche le quartier de Profesorska kolonija (en serbe cyrillique : ), la « Colonie des professeurs ». Ce sous-quartier possède des bâtiments plus récents que le reste du quartier de Hadžipopovac. On y trouve notamment la maison de Milutin Milanković, construite en 1927, et le musée commémoratif de Nadežda et Rastko Petrović, construit entre 1928 et 1935, tous deux situés rue Ljubomira Stojanovića et inscrits sur la liste des biens culturels de la Ville de Belgrade. La villa Prendić a été construite en 1932-1933 selon un projet de l'architecte Milan Zloković ; caractéristique du style moderniste, elle est elle aussi classée (identifiant SK 2236).

Sur environ , l'ensemble architectural et urbain de la Profesorska kolonija a été classé en 2020 sur la liste des entités spatiales historico-culturelles protégées de la République de Serbie (identifiant PIKC 88)

The third Golden Gauntlet has come and pass! I managed to win the entire thing, therefore, I'm here today to provide a primer on the deck that I played through the Golden Gauntlet.
As with any deck primer actually worth its salt, we'll begin with what the deck aims to do: Build a monster. But beyond that, we also deny our opponents avenues to answer our threat through cards that punish 'cheating' in cards through free cards or bringing creatures into play not from hand. That is not to say that we are inflexible in our game plan, however. We can just as easily switch gears and build up a board, attempting to out-value our opponent to victory.
So, without further ado, allow me to go through the cards and their roles in-depth.
Aeronaut is certainly already a familiar face in Solforge's constructed scene, being a very solid inclusion in many an A/T Rage or A/U Bots deck. However, the other facet of this card that is often overlooked is how well it carries pump. With a high health value, mobility, and armour, its body is not only well positioned to get pumped, but it can also choose its fights thanks to its mobility, allowing you to 'cash in' on the armour that you'll be amassing on this champ right here. In general, this is probably the best candidate whenever you build a monster with this deck.
Aeronaut is also your main tool of pushing damage, so also try to keep it near the centre so you can get as much damage through if you start dominating the board (particularly important against slower decks like Stasis Warden).
While Aeronaut may be the more flexible and better threat, this tin can isn't to be outshone. Armour has always been the most dangerous keyword to stack, and this guy has it in spades. While he does break if his shell is pierced, it is still not at all a bad idea to toss your Gauntlets and Pummel Packs onto it, since most decks can't muster up upwards of 9/11 damage in our turn, and if they do so, they often spend two cards to do so, leaving you with a 2 for 2 (or in the case of Gauntlets, a 3 for 2), which isn't all too shabby, considering that passes initiative back to you.
It should be noted that while it has a extremely powerful level one, it doesn't scale too well, although 12 armour is still a good fulcrum to cast Gauntlets off. Hence, if this is the monster you built, you probably want to end the game pretty quickly.
This little bugger over here. A Duskmaw Tendrils combo is sure to ruin any monster's day, and Arbiter makes your opponent think twice about doing just that, as it now takes up their entire turn, and making a big Arbiter further compounds that conundrum.
But with all that said and done, almost any creature can become a monster with several spells tacked onto it, from Oreian Justicar to Relic Hunter, your monsters can be as opportunistic as they come.
Gauntlets have always had a soft spot in my heart, which makes its snug fit into this deck a total win-win. For its first two levels, Gauntlets functions as both a removal and buff spell, as with what I mentioned about armour earlier, it's a lot more dangerous stacked, and Gauntlets exemplifies that. Meaning that if you can get if off a Forgewatch Sentry or scouted Aeronaut, you're in business, but not so much otherwise.
Sulgrim himself is also a total boss, making whatever you have for a board sticky, has a resilient body himself AND nukes something every turn you untap with him for a minimum of 6 damage. Sulgrim is one of those creatures that takes an even board and wins it, stabilises a losing board and adds insult to injury to a winning board.
Levelling Gauntlets is at its best against decks that rely on damage to remove your creatures, a la Oratek Explosives and Rage of Kadras in AT Rage.
There may come a time where your opponent attempts to ignore your monster and try to grow a board around it. Well, Scythe is there to tear down that plan, giving a huge attack boost to your designated monster while swinging trades left and right on a crowded board. However, at its worst it's a bad Hungering Strike or completely dead card. Regardless, this is sometimes the best card for pushing damage through and making your threats impossible to ignore.
Reducing opposing creatures' attack also can save a Forgewatch Sentry from breaking, so keep an eye out for that.
And our 'surprise' inclusion is... Pummel Pack! There isn't much to say about it really, it makes an immortal monster every so often, and is sometimes a glorified Tech Upgrade.
Figured the little guy deserved a shout-out, everything gets better with Relic Scout, but your monsters get even better with a Scout under them. Be wary of Leyline Demons, however. Consider skipping them until player level two (a 4/6 matters a lot less in PL2) if you suspect your opponent has Leyline Demons.
You may have noticed that almost all of our pump is situational. Which might strike you as odd since the main plan of the deck is supposedly to build a monster. The plan is to build a monster, but a monster of opportunity. See your opponent is on A/T and can't deal with that Forgewatch Sentry? Pummel Pack it. That's the gist of that plan. In the event where building a giant threat isn't wise, you can still take a big board approach, using Aegis Knights effectively and falling back on Leylines to win the board and eventually, the game.
There are several cards that warranted the 'coming into play not from hand' (There needs to be a better way to say this) hate. First and foremost, Bron, Wild Tamer (and by extension, the Dinosaur deck) was something I expected to be the default deck of choice, which while didn't quite end up happen, did not make this duo useless at all. Frostmane Eggs, Immortal Echoes, Marty activations, Leylines, creatures that dont come from hand are everywhere. You could always cut down on the Sentries if they under-perform (the playability of Leylines is meta dependant, after all) though.
Free is the more relevant hate of the two kinds we run in our deck, with Relic Scout, Duskmaw Tendrils running amok in constructed. It also had some fortunate collateral in butchering Stasis decks in the top four and beyond. Arbiter makes a second appearance as a hate card, usually being support to prevent your threats from being answered efficiently (usually through denying Relic Scouts and Duskmaw combos), and also completely shuts down Lucid decks of any kind, like the previously mentioned Stasis deck.
And that concludes the primer portion of this article! The rest will be a sort of easter egg section that describes the thought process of the development of the deck.
In the very first version, there were three Cacklebones in the list, they sucked even with Arbiter and Demon though, and were cut. That's the reason why the version I locked incorrectly had 3 Arbiters.
The original concept was not build a monster, but actually 6 Leylines, and later on a lot of Fun Police. The actual shell was the last thing I came up with.
Link suggested Pummel Pack the morning of the tournament (remember, we live on the right side of the world), which struck me with how Arbiter, Pummel Pack and Duskmaw interacted. Thanks Lonk!
Xerxes used to be a major part of the first few iterations of the deck, although he just simply didn't make it because there weren't enough cards that abused its stealing mechanic.
And that's all from me this time! I hope you find as much success as I did in the queues, and have a wonderful day.
awesome job, eon. you deserve some tasty cake.
Yes, tasty cake filled with the souls of the innocent!
I think the short way to say "comes into play not from you hand" hate is "reanimator/token" hate. It covers most if not all of the ways to play something not from your hand.
I like using the term, (N)ot (F)rom (H)and.

Digital Innovator Series: Talking Girls in Tech with Voneat Pen
This post is one of a series of posts on Digital Innovator.
By Kate Heuisler
Tags: Digital Innovator Series • Entrepreneurship • COVID-19
Kate Heuisler recently spoke with Voneat Pen, the Chapter Ambassador for Technovation in Cambodia, about her work growing the successful all-girl tech entrepreneurship education program for the seventh year in a row. While juggling her roles as the co-founder of the tech startup 606, a programmer, and STEM advocate, Voneat has been instrumental to Technovation's success during its most challenging years. When COVID-19 pushed the program online overnight, the Technovation community (and its partners) were still able to successfully engage new all-girl teams, mentors, schools, and provinces across the country. To date, Technovation has helped connect more than 2,000 Cambodian girls to essential 21st-century tech creator skills.
This is an excerpt from that interview.
KATE: Tell our audience about Technovation from your perspective. What does the program do—and how did it get started in Cambodia?
VONEAT: Technovation started in 2014 under the DAI-led Development Innovations (DI) project as one of its first programs. I joined Technovation in 2017 as a technical mentor. DI handed over the management of Technovation in 2018 to the Technovation Community in partnership with the Institute for Technology for Cambodia (ITC) and the Ministry of Education Youth and Sport. In 2020, I started as the Technovation Regional Ambassador (now called the Chapter Ambassador).
"Women in tech" is not a common set of words seen altogether. This is a big issue in Cambodia, especially in the computer and STEM fields. The program started in Cambodia because of the need—the gap—in pre-university tech education, especially for girls. In 2014, I was in my last year in college, and I didn't know anything about some parts of the sector. I had never even heard the word entrepreneur.
Chapter Ambassador Voneat Pen.
KATE: This year was the seventh Technovation season in Cambodia. How did it go?
VONEAT: This year was harder than last year. In 2020, we went to the provinces and recruited mentors and mentees before COVID-19 hit. This pre-program was helpful, even critical. In 2021, we had trouble attracting funding because our last donor changed its funding process. We realized in November that we had to move forward without funding. Then, the second wave of COVID-19 hit before we could get out to promote the program. I could only get to one province, Battambang, to talk to existing partners (Technovation Clubs that coordinate programs in their villages/towns). We knew we needed to coordinate with groups like them and build a team in Battambang so they could coordinate with each other. Unfortunately, there was little momentum without the pre-program! We had to do it all virtually.
KATE: That is not easy. How many teams completed the program this year?
VONEAT: Around the world, 1,700 teams submitted application packages from more than 60 countries! In Cambodia, we started with 39 teams this year—the lack of pre-programming and promotion really affected us. In 2021, it was hard to connect girls to one another because of the internet, and the lack of personal connections. Mentors didn't know how to break the ice virtually, and this was challenging. Sometimes I joined the groups online to help facilitate, but it didn't work with everyone. Fast forward, I was monitoring the Technovation dashboard two weeks before the competition, and I was freaked out! The number of submissions wasn't high yet. I knew from the discussions on the Telegram channel that there were a lot of teams working on this, but they just hadn't submitted anything yet. In the end, a total of 25 teams from Cambodia submitted their pitch videos and prototype apps to the global competition.
We saw so many strong pitches. One powerful team focused on attacking depression among teenagers, another team tried to tackle environmental problems in their communities, and one team developed a solution to help people share used books so more people can read them.
The Technovation community worked with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, sponsor Khmer Enterprise, and teams across the country to run a successful national pitch event.
KATE: I know it is incredibly complex and challenging to run something with so many moving parts and partners. It sounds like it was also hard to keep people motivated virtually. Tell us your secrets.
VONEAT: Video is part of our secret. We use it at critical moments in the season to deliver messages to the girls. For example, we film alumnae from previous years talking about how frustrated they were right at the end of the four-month program. We release this video to pull the stories together—highlighting both teams that won and that didn't win. This motivates teams to push to the finish line.
The other secret is availability. During the submission week, I always make myself available to the teams for technical questions and making compromises with their designs. A lot of teams give up right at the end. I always give teams this advice—show your work! Whatever you have, put it out there! Finish the project and show people what you did even if it isn't perfect.
This year we (and Technovation Global) also shifted to accepting dual-language applications. This was especially important for the national pitch because not everyone felt comfortable pitching in English or answering questions from the judges in English. This helped the program be more accessible for teams from the provinces, especially.
KATE: So many practical lessons here! Anything else you learned while coordinating this complex education program?
VONEAT: No matter how big or small something is—it requires 101 percent effort. To sustain Technovation in the future, and we are working on that, we need to help more students have tools to self-learn, and empower local champions and clubs in the provinces to have the tools to be able to support new teams.
KATE: What is next for Technovation in 2022 and beyond?
VONEAT: In 2022 I plan to do a lot of things! COVID-19 hit us hard. Last year, we wanted to have a nationwide festival to showcase the alumnae teams from the past. I hope we can still do this. We also want to work with mentors and create more videos—especially for lessons on coding. As a computer science student myself, I know how important it is to have videos that explain the detailed process for students so they can follow through all the way.
KATE: What advice do you have for others around the world who want to help more girls get access to tech entrepreneurship and tech creator skills?
VONEAT: The Technovation platform is open for you! You can build and connect yourself into the program to create your own club or chapter. Before you launch, though, join a team in your region or your country, and volunteer as a mentor to see how it works. Now, it is getting even easier with Technovation's global platform, you can connect globally and build cross-country clubs.

Dashing And Demanding
With a superb new album, U2 reinvents itself
By Jay Cocks Monday, Nov. 25, 1991
Here we all were, fretting over the parlous state of rock, and help was on the way even while we were dithering. All of a sudden there's a clutch of superb albums out there: Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes' Better Days; Robbie Robertson's Storyville; Van Morrison's Hymns to the Silence. And now, to put the capper on the company, U2's dashing, demanding Achtung Baby.
This new 12-song collection, the first since the band's Rattle and Hum of 1988, has something in common with all the other good stuff currently in circulation. It has the raucous, free-for-all spirit of the Jukes; it shares the narrative ambition and sense of musical mystery of Storyville (the band collaborated with Robertson, in fact, on a tune on his first album); and it taps into the same deep Irish roots, at once weird and winsome, as does Morrison, who is a kind of godfather to all Irish rockers.
But U2 does something unique here. The band not only reasserts itself but reinvents itself too. After Rattle and Hum, there was some thought that it had overreached itself, gone a little too mainstream, got a little too big even for its own grand ambitions. Achtung Baby restores U2 to scale, and gives the band back its edge.
The album is full of major-league guitar crunching and mysterious, spacy chords. Evanescent melodies float seamlessly between songs of love, temptation, loose political parable and tight personal confession. The notes credit all songs to the band collectively -- lead singer Bono of late had taken a separate credit for lyrics -- and Achtung Baby does sound more cohesive than anything else U2 has done. Tunes like The Fly are restless, even reckless, with invention, and the band can write ravishing, slightly eerie romances like Mysterious Ways better than anyone else who can fill a stadium with cheering fans. There's a lot indeed to be cheered on Achtung Baby. And celebrated. It's a monster.


To solve your chipping woes, practise your move with one hand off the wheel.
Golfers who struggle with their chipping are usually guilty of relying only on their hands and wrists to generate clubhead speed and hit the golf ball. The dreaded flip-your-wrists-atimpact motion can lead to all kinds of disasters — chunks, skulls and shanks. Proper chipping requires use of your big muscles — hips, torso, shoulders — and a firm lead wrist, and the best way to ingrain those good techniques is to practise chipping one-handed, with both your lead and trail arms.
Hit a dozen balls with your trail arm and then switch to your lead arm and do the same. Once you return to your regular chipping motion, with both hands on the club, you should feel improved body rotation, more rhythmic and more in control.
TRAIL ARM: Using your trail arm only when chipping forces you to rotate your body — on the takeaway, downswing and through impact into your follow-through.
LEAD ARM: Using your lead arm only when chipping will teach you how to keep your lead wrist steady through impact and into your follow-through.

February 27, 2015 from Exploring the Philippines by Paraw.
In retrospect, we left Sibalon fairly late at 9am. The best time to travel here is early morning and late afternoon. But by the time we headed out for the second half of our voyage across the Tablas Strait, the wind was building and the sun was high in the sky. .
But our problems came in quick successsion. The forward hatches were fairly waterproof. The after-hatch had been crafted the morning we left Boracay, and allowed water to drain into the hull. Then after an onimous crack from the starboard side, Oliver and I both noticed at the same time that the boat was riding lower and lower in the water. It was a gut-wrenching moment, feeling a boat slowly starting to sink from underneath you.
The Paraw handles well when you let go the sails and point it to wind. We ceased movement and rode with the sails lightly flapping while we peaked into the hatch behind the drivers seat. There was indeed half a foot of water inside. Oliver bailed while I started to saw larger limber holes in the rails by my seat. After twenty minutes we had it under control. The boat was lighter, and water was able to drain away from the cockpit hatch.
But the ominious crack still remained unsolved. Upon further inspection, it became apparent that the forward starboard elbow joint had cracked. With each wave, the joint was opening further. With seine-twine and a spare length of hardwood, Oliver hung over the side of the boat and was able to lash a makeshift repair. The dive-boat circled us in concern and one of their guys swam over to us to lend assistance.
It was a tense twenty minutes. But the repair was good enough for us to be able to progress gingerly onwards to Libagao Island, reaching it around 1pm.
Getting to shore was again difficult, even in daylight, but definitely much easier than the previous night. Fringing reefs surround beautiful white sandy beaches and at low tide coral heads bubble all the way up to the surface. We gingerly made it to shore, where again we were greeted with surprise. This time we did have a problem and it wasn't long before someone brought us a nice elbow piece that was a perfect reinforcement for the break in our outrigger. Oliver bought the piece for $4 and in the blazing sun, made the repair.
We set out again for the final stretch to Mindoro in the late afternoon. Flash handled fine and the winds were manageable. We tucked in behind the Bulalacao point, and landed on a calm beach with a tiny rustic resort with cold San Miguel's and a home cooked dinner.

Comedian Margaret Cho will Dance With the Stars

When comedian Margaret Cho appeared on KCRW's Guest DJ Project, she told KCRW DJ Chris Douridas about her love of music and actively wanting to join Canadian music collective Broken Social Scene, but she's not stopping there – she's going for a triple threat!
It was just announced that she will appear on the 11th season of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," set to premiere September 20. The announcement comes on the heels of the release of her new album, "Cho Dependent," where she directs her lyrical wit towards some somber topics, including rejection. KCRW favorite Andrew Bird even helped her on a murder ballad.
"Comedy and music kind of go hand in hand, like, comedians always want to be rock stars and rock stars, weirdly enough, always want to be comedians. Cause when you see people play live, generally they'll say jokes. And when you go see people in different towns they'll say the same jokes and you're like 'Wow, they actually have a routine!' And so rock stars have a big affection for comedy."
Check out her song picks below and hear her full Guest DJ set here.
1. Bjork – Hyperballad
2. Ryan Adams – Come Pick me up
3. Flight of the Conchords – Business Time
4. Broken Social Scene – 7/4 (Shoreline)
5. Elliott Smith – St. Ides Heaven

Waiting On Wednesday: Falling by Jane Green
June 8, 2016 /3 Comments/in Bookish Tags and Memes /by Suzanne
"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we're excited about.
My "Waiting On" Wednesday selection for this week is Falling by Jane Green.
The New York Times bestselling author of The Beach House, Jemima J, and Summer Secrets presents a novel about the pleasure and meaning of finding a home—and family—where you least expect them…
When Emma Montague left the strict confines of upper-crust British life for New York, she felt sure it would make her happy. Away from her parents and expectations, she felt liberated, throwing herself into Manhattan life replete with a high-paying job, a gorgeous apartment, and a string of successful boyfriends. But the cutthroat world of finance and relentless pursuit of more began to take its toll. This wasn't the life she wanted either.
On the move again, Emma settles in the picturesque waterfront town of Westport, Connecticut, a world apart from both England and Manhattan. It is here that she begins to confront what it is she really wants from her life. With no job, and knowing only one person in town, she channels her passion for creating beautiful spaces into remaking the dilapidated cottage she rents from Dominic, a local handyman who lives next door with his six-year-old son.
Unlike any man Emma has ever known, Dominic is confident, grounded, and committed to being present for his son whose mother fled shortly after he was born. They become friends, and slowly much more, as Emma finds herself feeling at home in a way she never has before.
But just as they start to imagine a life together as a family, fate intervenes in the most shocking of ways. For the first time, Emma has to stay and fight for what she loves, for the truth she has discovered about herself, or risk losing it all.
In a novel of changing seasons, shifting lives, and selfless love, a story unfolds—of one woman's far-reaching journey to discover who she is truly meant to be…
I'm excited about this one because based on early reviews I've read, it just sounds like a perfect book to take with me when I go on vacation this summer. Can't wait to read it when it comes out next month!
What books are you waiting on this Wednesday?

Hooray! It's time for another Story Card Sunday.
Please say hello to this week's Story Card.
Valentine's Day is just a couple weeks away so I think it would be fun this week to make a love-inspired journaling card. Imagine using this pocket page-friendly journaling card to document date night, a wedding or some other special occasion.
Let me show you how you can make one like it.
Start by cutting a base card with Technique Tuesday's Story Card DIY Steel Dies. You'll also want to cut one What frame and one center with the What Where When steel dies and one heart with the Nested Hearts steel dies.
Use the horizontal lines from the Travel Log stamp set to stamp lines onto the frame's center portion.
Adhere the frame and center onto the base card. Poke holes around the inside of the frame. Sew a line of floss through the holes like so.
Finish the Story Card off by adding a heart in the lower right corner. Embellish it with either a brad, gem or enamel dot.
That does it for this week's installment of Story Card Sunday. I'll be back again next week with another Story Card Sunday tutorial.

Planning a birthday party? Looking for a quick and easy favor to give your party guests?
Check out these little treat cups I made for guests at a recent birthday party. They took just minutes to make. Yes, really! They were that easy!
While I filled my little cups with candy. you could easily fill them up mints, seeds or some kind of other yummy treat instead.
I found the plastic treat cups at the dollar store. I think I got 8 or 10 cups for a dollar! It was a deal.
I stamped each of the circle elements with stamps from Technique Tuesday's Extra Sprinkles stamp set.
I stamped the words on red cardstock. And then I stamped a couple images on white cardstock and colored them in with pencils.
I used Technique Tuesday's Circles steel dies to cut them out. Don't have the dies? That's OK. The large circles in the stamp set work with a 1 3/4" circle punch. The small images work with a 1" circle punch.
I adhered the circles together and then placed them onto the plastic lids with foam dots.
After that, I filled each container with treats and sealed them up. If you wanted to make your favors a little fancier, you could tie some twine around each container and add some gems or enamel dots to the top.

ON THE BOEING FRONT
Boeing Selects iPad-Like Touch Screens For 777X Flight Deck
Future Boeing 777X airline pilots will be able to interact with their flight information displays in the same way that they use their smart phones and tablets.
Boeing has decided to integrate a multi-touch interface on the flight deck of the re-engineer wide body due to enter service in 2020, replacing a touch-pad based cursor control device (CCDs) mounted on the aisle-stand of the original 777, says Bob Feldmann, vice president and general manager of the 777X program.
The decision was made so recently that Boeing is not yet able to announce the supplier, as the contract had not been signed as of mid June, Feldmann says.
The new technology will be integrated as Boeing transitions from a standard layout of six displays in the 777 cockpit to the 787's five display format in the 777X. "We think we are the first Commercial airplane to really make something that is like all our customers are used to doing in their daily lives," Feldmann says.
In discussions with our 777X customers, Boeing received a clear preference for making the transition to multi-touch screens, Feldmann says.
The next milestone for the 777-9 development program is a critical design review scheduled earlier next year. Production of the first test aircraft is expected to begin next June, with first flight following in 2018.
Cockpit touch screens are one of several key technologies Boeing is developing for the 777X. The most visible innovation on the 777X is perhaps Boeing's plan to integrate folding wingtips, a feature normally found on fighters based on space constrained aircraft carriers.

ON THE AIRBUS FRONT
Airbus Starting A330neo Final Assembly in October
Airbus is working through some high profile issues with the introduction of the A350 and the A320neo to market, but surely wishes those programs were low-profile as the A330neo. The reengineer A330 program, is progressing more quietly and without major problems that have kept Airbus in the news.
The A330-900, the first reengineer version of the family, is due to enter service by the end of 2017, followed by the smaller -800 a year later. Airbus hopes the program's lower costs – combined with the fuel burn reduction the new engines are expected to provide and the new cabin designed to align it with the larger A350's interior – will be sufficient to counter the Boeing 787.
Airbus is well on the way to producing the A330neo subassemblies. The first wing is essentially completed in the Broughton, England facility with only the sharklets missing, and the second is close behind. Along with engines and the new cabin, the wing has seen the most modifications of the major components. At 64 m(210 ft), the A330neo wingspan has grown by 4 m (13.1 ft) over the the A330ceo's and has been structurally reinforced to accommodate the Neo's heavier engines. The wing-to-body-juncture also has been redesigned.
In parallel, the first A330neo nose section is completed at the Saint-Nazaire plant in France. Airbus has a total of 186 orders for the two versions of the A330neo,10 for the A330-800 and the rest for the larger -900. Hawaiian Airlines has ordered 6 -800s and 4 for TransAsia Airways

Mitsubishi Starts Final Assembly of First Delivery Jet
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is set to begin final assembly of the first customer aircraft for the MRJ regional jet program, with various sections of the fuselage having been delivered to the MRJ final assembly hanger.In a newsletter, Mitsubishi Aircraft says it will work through the final assembly process, with an eye on delivery to launch customer All Nippon Airways in mid 2018. The Japanese airframe also gave an update of the MRJ flight tests, which are ongoing using two test aircraft. It says valid results have been obtained from FTA-2, which started flying on May 31st, including the confirmation of emergency response measures – such as flying with one engine, activation of emergency power units and stall tests.
Various tests are also being carried out as the program prepares for ferry flight to Moses Lake, Washington State, this summer.
These include the expansion of its flight envelop to it's design specifications of a maximum speed of Mach 0.78 and a maximum altitude of 39,000 ft, conducting instrument flights,plus checking on terrain awareness, warning system and collision avoidance system.
Its Moses Lake Flight Test Center meanwhile has been conducting flights using a small aircraft, rehearsing for the test missions ahead.

First CSeries Aircraft is Delivered to SWISS
Bombardier delivered the first CSeries aircraft to Lufthansa subsidiary Swiss International Air Lines(SWISS), at ceremonies in Montreal on June 29th.
The delivery marks an important milestone in an aircraft program beset with technical problems, delays and difficulty securing customers. Swiss originally ordered 20 CS100 and 10 CS300s, plus 30 options, but then converted five 100s to the 300 variant.
The handover should begin a process in which SWISS will receive nine aircraft by year end, taking one aircraft per month this month, August and September. After that, deliveries will increase to two aircraft per month. The first aircraft will enter service this month.
On June 23, Bombardier signed a definitive agreement with the Quebec government for $1billion investment in the CSeries program. The assets, liabilities and obligations of the program have been transferred to the CSeries Aircraft Limited Partnership(CSALP) of which 50.5% is owned by Bombardier and 49.5% by the provincial government through Investment Quebec.
The money will be used for cash-flow purposes, representing half of the $2 billion Bombardier says is required to take the CSeries program to cash-flow positive production in 2020.
The $2 billion includes funds to cover losses on discounted sales to marquee customers, including Air Canada and Delta Air Lines deals which Bombardier will record a $500 billion this quarter to cover "onerous contract provisions."
The Canadian federal government, meanwhile, confirmed it is continuing negotiations with Bombardier about investing in the CSeries partnership.

Pratt & Whitney to Invest $65m in Georgia GTF Maintenance Site
Pratt & Whitney will invest $65 million in maintenance site near Columbus, Georgia, where the company maintains and overhauls PW 1000G geared turbofans (GTFs). The investment, which comes as the company embarks on massive GTF production ramp up, will help P&W ensure it has infrastructure in place to meet increasing maintenance demand, P&W said in a media release.
Also, later this year the company expects construction will begin on an additional engine test facility at the site in Columbus, which is about 90 miles(145km) south of Atlanta, P&W says.
The company has orders for more than 7,100 GTFs, executives have said. P&W will manufacture about 200 of the engines this year, but the company forecasts production will hit 400 in 2017, 600 in 2018 and 1,200 annually by 2020, executives have said.
The Columbus maintenance site is also where P&w is modifying a number of in-service PW 1100Gs to address a slow-engine-start issue, P&W aftermarket president Matthew Bromberg has told Flightglobal.

FedEx's 270 Boeing Planes
Package delivery company, FedEx Corp, owned 582 airplanes at the end of May 2015 and leased another 65 for a total fleet of 647 planes. Of the planes owned,241 were manufactured by the Boeing Company or by McDonnell Douglas prior to its merger with Boeing in1997. Another 29 Boeing planes were leased, bringing FedEx's total Boeing fleet to 270 planes.
The most popular Boeing aircraft in the FedEx fleet is now the 757-200, a dual-engine narrow body that Boeing configured as a cargo plane. The plane can carry 63,000 pounds of cargo with maximum range of 3,625 miles. The average age of these planes in FedEx fleet is nearly 25 years. Boeing sold more than 1,000 of the planes and delivered the last new 757 in 2004.(it went to Shanghai Airlines in China)
Boeing had also supplied FedEx with 21 767-300 cargo freighters at the end of May 2015 (the end of the most recent fiscal year for which the company has produced an annual report). FedEx ordered 50 more of the wide body planes last July with an option on 50 more. At list price of $199.3 million per plane, the order was valued at nearly $20 billion.
Why buy an old design? it is simple to replace even older ones and reduce the variety of planes in FedEx's fleet. FedEx's 767s average less than three years old. The 767 is also more fuel efficient and shares many parts with the 757s in the fleet; plus it is a great aircraft.
Because Boeing is building the Air Force tanker, The KC-46A, on the 767 airframe, FedEx is assured of spare parts for at lease another 40 years, the expected life of the tanker.
Finally, FedEx reported 27 Boeing 777 freighters in its fleet at the end of November 2015, and in January the company said it had committed to another 16 at a list price of $318.7 per plane,for an order totaling more than $5 billion.

China's New Y-20 Is the Largest Military Aircraft Currently in Production
The Y-20 is China's version of the C-17 Globemaster. The first Xian Y-20 military transport aircraft was delivered to the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) on June 15. Developed by Xian Aircraft Corporation, the Y-20 has an empty weight of 110 short tons, making it the largest military aircraft currently in production – larger than Russia's Ilyushin Il-76. Boeing's C-17 Globemaster III is bigger than the Y-20, the C-17's empty weight is about 60,000 pounds more than the Y-20. Its payload capacity is 25,000 pounds more, but production stopped in 2015, making the Y-20 the biggest that currently rolling out of factories.
The Y-20 has the official codename "Kunpeng" after a mythical Chinese bird, though it is nicknamed "Chubby Girl" for its appearance. The Y-20 is remarkably similar to the C-17. Currently the Y-20 uses four Russian made Soloviev D-30 turbofan engines; however, plans are to replace the engines with Chinese-made Shenyang WS-20 turbofans by 2020 to give the plane short takeoff capabilities and a greater range.

The Latest on the Development of the 777X
The development of the 777X is quietly moving forward. German manufacturer Liebherr has delivered the first prototype of the actuation system for the 777X folding wing-tip.
The step will enable initial testing on a rig to begin in mid-year, the company's Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg division states, revealing that proof-of-concept prototype was handed over at the end of February.
Liebherr says the delivery shows "substantial progress" has been achieved in developing a "compact and reliable" wing-tip actuator.
The 777X is to use a folding wing-tip in order to reduce its 235Ft (71.8) span by 7m when parking. Boeing selected Liebherr to develop the folding assembly, which uses motors and rotating actuator at the end of 2014.

First Airbus A350-1000 Takes Shape
The first Airbus A350-1000, the stretched version of the A350XWB family aircraft, has emerged from the Roger Beteille Final Assembly Line (FAL) in Toulouse, France, moving on its wheels for the first time. (note the three wheel trucks on the main landing gears)
The Aircraft, MSN59, has spent one and a half months in Station 40 in FAL. On April 14th, the A350-1000 left its station 40 position and entered in the station number 30, where the initial ground testing of the aircraft systems takes place.
After that, the aircraft will be moved out of the FAL to undergo complementary tests, painting, engine installation, cabin fittings and it will be finally handed over to the Flight Test Center.
This aircraft, one of three flight test aircraft to be built, will take to the skies for its maiden flight before the end of 2016, with delivery expected to occur in mid 2017.
So far, Airbus has won 181 A350-1000 orders from 10 customers. Launch customer is set to be Qatar Airways, who also was the launch customer for the -900 variant.

MRJ FTA-2 Prepares for Flight This Month
Mitsubishi Aircraft says the second prototype for its MRJ regional jet program is undergoing engine tests, as it readies for its first flight.
In a newsletter, the Japanese manufacturer says FTA-2 will move forward with taxi tests this month, followed by flight tests.
This follows the completion of the first phase of flight tests for the FTA-1. On April 13th, FTA-1 started receiving "planned modifications" that will be completed in the middle of this month. It will also be fitted with instruments necessary for upcoming tests.
Mitsubishi says it has been conducting flight tests on FTA-1 on consecutive days since mid-March, whenever weather conditions permit. These tests include flying with only one engine and auxiliary power systems, as well as a functional check on the emergency power generation system.
The MRJ is scheduled for first delivery in mid-2018. Mitsubishi is using five test aircraft for the flight campaign.

Comair 737 Arrives at New St Helena Airport
South African carrier Comair has carried out the first large passenger jet landing at the new St Helena airport. The Carrier operated a Boeing 737-800 which touched down just after 12:00 noon on April 19th.
British Airways franchise partner Comair recently took delivery of the aircraft – painted in BA livery – which has been configured specifically to serve the Johannesburg-St Helena route.
The initial operation to the island airport was an implementation flight to test the route, ground operations and handling, ahead of commencement of scheduled services.
"We did a few practice approaches just to make sure we understand the approach," says the carrier's operations director, Martin Louw.
" Safety is always paramount".

CFM LEAP-1B Engine Receives Joint FAA/EASA Certification
The FAA and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have awarded type certificates to CFM International's LEAP-1B engine, paving the way for entry into commercial service in 2017. The LEAP-1B engine is the exclusive power plant for the Boeing 737 MAX.
"The LEAP-1B engine flew for the first time on the Boeing 737 MAX on January 29," CFM International said in a statement. "Since then, two more aircraft have been added to the test program in March. To date, these three airplanes have logged a combined total of more than 100 test flights, including completing high altitude flight testing in La Paz, Bolivia, recently."
CFM International EVP Francois Bastin said, "Boeing is racking up an impressive number of flight hours with the test aircraft; initial indications are that engine performance is meeting expectations."
"MAX looks like a very well-run program on the airframe and engine side; reinforced the possibility that maybe they will even be early," said Teal Group analyst, Richard Aboulafia,
"They have been doing great. Their story is they learned a lot from the 787, that might well be true."

Airbus to Cut Output of Slow-Selling A380
European plane maker Airbus plans to cut production of its A380 from 2017 as it struggles to revive sales of the world's largest passenger jet.
It has told its suppliers to slow production to support an assembly rate of 1.7 aircraft per month from next year, compared with production of just over two a month now. The exact month in which the slowdown would be felt in Toulouse assembly plant was not immediately clear. Airbus declined to comment on talks with suppliers.
The company does not publish production figures for its biggest model, but only targets deliveries. Sales of large four-engine airliners like the 544-seat A380 have been hit by improvements in range and efficiency of smaller two-engined models, which can be easier to fill.
Last year it delivered 27 A380s and has said it expects to continue to break even based on similar deliveries in 2016. It meanwhile continues to cut costs in an effort to lower the break-even point to as low as 20 aircraft a year.
In February Airbus Group Chief Executive Tom Enders said it had between 20 and 30 A380s on its delivery list in 2017.
At the end of March, Airbus had 135 aircraft on its books that have been sold and are waiting to be produced, mainly for leading customer Emirates which recently topped its order. But after deducting aircraft that are unlikely to be delivered, analysts say the order situation is weaker.
Air France Has canceled two and replaced them with A350s. Another 10 listed anonymously are believed to have been canceled by Hong Kong Airlines and 20 are allocated to leasing firm Amedeo, which are seen as unlikely to enter production until the lessor places them with airlines.
Analysts also say Qantas and Virgin Atlantic are unlikely to take a combined total of 12 of the jets. The Project received a boost earlier this year when Iran announced a preliminary order for 12 A380s as it emerges from sanctions, but doubts remain over how quickly the order can be finalized as Iran faces continued financial restrictions.

How the Very First Air Force One Was Saved-Columbine II, President Eisenhower's Ride is Back in Action- Part II
Columbine's number four engine was not airworthy anymore, so Brian Miklos borrowed a 3350 from another Lockheed Constellation which had recently flown and installed it on the airplane. The effort took a full year from March 2015 with a team alternating between three weeks in Arizona and two weeks at home in Virginia.
It was an intense effort," says Brian Miklos. Finally, the Dynamic crew took off in Columbine II on March 21, 2016, for the first leg of the cross country trip to Mount Pleasant,Texas, then resumed the trip to Bridgewater, Virginia, the following morning.
The vintage Constellation logged about nine hours flight time and performed admirably." At one point, we had 234 mph across the ground. The old girl was up and getting it done!" Miklos says.
Karl Stozfus plans to restore Columbine II back to its Air Force One configuration and return it to the air show scene. Fortunately, a significant part of its interior is still intact. Miklos says Dynamic as obtained a similar galley from another Constellation and has detailed information on how the aircraft looked in presidential service.
"The plan is to restore it to just as it was when President Eisenhower was using it. We have incredible drawings and documentation to support that, right down to color codes and manufacturer's original materials."

Finally the UK Decided To Go For the P-8A Poseidon
Boeing seems to be racking orders for military aircraft and it is not done yet. In late March, the US Defense Security Coorperation Agency (DSCA) — the Pentagon arm for coordinating sales of military equipment to our allies — notified Congress of an impending sale of military aircraft to the United Kingdom.
According to DSCA's March 24 notification to congress, the British government has requested permission to buy nine of Boeing's P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, plus related "major defense equipment, associated training and support," for a grand total of $3.2 billion.
The UK was looking at different platforms to replace its last retired Nimrod and in the end it appears the UK bit the bullet and decided to buy the Cadillac of maritime sub-hunting aircraft, Boeing's P-8A Poseidon.

Michael Doyle says he can't judge the radio industry by what people tell him at cocktail parties.
Doyle, who was named regional president of Entercom Communications Corp. this month, has heard it all over the years. When the iPod came out in 2001, Doyle's fellow partygoers proclaimed it the death of the radio industry. When satellite radio and Internet radio began to take off, he heard the same thing.
Still, traditional radio, which is the centerpiece of a company like Entercom, has persevered. And Doyle has played a major part in that.
Doyle, 54, has spent 27 years in the radio industry. Prior to being named regional president, he was the Northeast region's vice president. Prior to that, he was vice president and market manager of Entercom Rochester.
In his new role, Doyle will continue to oversee a Northeast market that has more than 40 stations in markets including Rochester, Buffalo, Indianapolis, Memphis, Gainesville, Fla., Wichita, Kan., and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He also will help oversee Entercom's corporate initiatives in training, marketing and social media.
Doyle could be just the man for the job. Since joining Entercom in 2000, he has made Entercom's Northeast region into one of the company's best-performing markets.
Much of that growth has been in Rochester, where Doyle says Entercom has some 65 full-time employees. Over the past two years, Rochester has been Entercom's best-performing market in year-over-year revenue growth, he says. Rochester is responsible for more than 40 percent of the Northeast region's overall revenue.
Entercom owns five stations in Rochester, including WPXY-FM 97.9, WBEE-FM 92.5 and WCMF-FM 96.5.
Susan Munn, vice president and general manager for Entercom Rochester, says it is Doyle's leadership that has set the tone for success in the market.
"Michael is a truly inspiring boss and leader," she says. "He is fully engaged in all that he does and has a quick wit that leaves most people smiling while agreeing with his point of view.
"He knows what a well-run organization looks like, and his mission is to get every Entercom market to live up to the standards of his vision."
For all his success in the industry, Doyle's first try at radio did not pan out.
A native of Saratoga Springs, Doyle says he was drawn to the entertainment industry when he was growing up. He attended the SUNY College at Brockport with the hopes of becoming a radio DJ.
While in college, Doyle worked as a DJ at the campus radio station and did some on-air work for local stations. However, things stalled there.
"It just didn't click for me," recalls Doyle. "I found myself amusing, but I'm not sure any listeners saw me as amusing."
After graduating in 1980, Doyle took a job as a manager in a Kmart shoe department. From there, he went on to work in marketing and advertising at New York City-based Globe Communications LLC.
Doyle spent two and a half years at Globe Communications before deciding he wanted to try radio again.
"I've always loved the ability to reach out and communicate to people," Doyle says. "I love what we do in the radio business. I realized that I could get back into it, this time through sales."
Doyle got his first full-time job in radio doing marketing and sales at WGY-AM 810 in Schenectady. From there he worked in general and sales management for a few other companies, including Heritage Media and New City Communications Inc.
In 1997, Doyle became general manager for Pilot Communications, which owned a cluster of radio stations in Syracuse. In 2000, Las Vegas-based Citadel Broadcasting Corp. acquired Pilot's radio stations and Doyle was presented with two options.
At the time, he had been offered a job as vice president and general manager with Entercom Rochester. Doyle says Citadel also offered him a promotion. He chose Rochester.
Entercom had just moved into the Rochester market in 1998, acquiring WBEE-FM, WQRV-FM, WBBF-FM and WEZO-AM from Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc.
While WBEE had a strong market presence, the other three stations were lagging, Still, Doyle saw potential.
"I thought the stations in Rochester were great and that there was room to grow," he says. "I had an opportunity to re-energize the place and show the employees what Entercom as a company was capable of."
The plan for Doyle and Entercom was to build on the success of WBEE. In late 2000, the company launched WBZA-FM 98.9, "The Buzz."
Entercom continued to build in Rochester over the next several years. In August 2006, the company agreed to buy 15 radio stations from CBS Corp., including four in Rochester. The deal included WCMF-FM 96.5, WPXY-FM 97.9, WRMM-FM 101.3 and WZNE-FM 94.1.
Before the deal, Entercom already had a lineup of four stations: WBEE and WBZA, along with WFKL-FM 93.3 and WROC-AM 950. Entercom went on to sell WZNE, WRMM and WFKL to Stephens Media Group to meet FCC requirements for the number of stations it could have.
"It's been quite an evolution," Doyle says. "Over time we've broadened our approach to expand our reach in this market. The goal has been to create great media for people to listen to and a brand to build a culture around."
According to Arbitron Quarterly Reports, Entercom is the only radio company to have two stations-WBEE and WPXY-routinely rank in the top-five overall radio stations in the market during the past two years. The rankings are based on the number of people above age 11 who listen during an average quarter-hour.
However, Doyle says, the days when Entercom had to worry only about other traditional radio competitors such as Clear Channel Radio and Stephens Media are gone.
"This is a much harder business than it was 25 years ago," he says. "Now, in order for us to win, our brands must not be able to be replaced by what a listener can do on their iPod or mobile phone. You also have to figure out what makes them choose you over Pandora and a thousand other radio stations you can stream on the Internet."
Doyle says the increased competition only drives him more. When satellite radio hit the scene in 2002, Doyle was proud that Entercom's revenues continued to grow in Rochester.
"There's always a new shiny object," he says. "The new shiny object back then was satellite radio. Anybody who's smart about what they do recognizes new challenges. The time people spend with radio is down a little bit over the last decade, but it still reaches more than 90 percent of the people in America each week."
In late 2011, Clear Channel Radio announced plans to scale back its local talent at radio stations around the country in favor of syndicated shows and a heavier focus on its Internet radio platform, called iHeartRadio. The move has led to high-profile layoffs at Clear Channel Radio stations in Rochester.
However, while Entercom also has cut costs, the company has held onto most of its on-air talent, especially in Rochester.
"The brands we have in Rochester, which are driven by local personalities, continue to engage local listeners, who then engage our advertisers," Doyle says.
Upon completion of recently announced acquisitions, the publicly traded Entercom will be the fourth-largest radio company in the United States. It will own or operate 96 stations in 17 markets.
Doyle says he is more excited now about the radio industry than he has ever been. That excitement keeps him glued to his work, no matter where he is. He says he travels 30 weeks a year, visiting stations both in and outside the Northeast region, speaking with employees.
"Michael has the unique ability to challenge his people to greatness and at the same time make them feel special achieving it," says Greg Ried, vice president and general manager for Entercom Buffalo. "He leads by example, in the trenches side by side with his employees."
Doyle, who lives in Penfield, says he still makes time for his family. He enjoys downtime with his wife of 30 years, Victoria, his son, Patrick, who lives and works in Rochester, and his daughter, Bridget, a senior in high school.
Doyle's passion for radio comes second only to his family. He says after more than 25 years, he is still driven by the industry's competitive nature.
"I love a competitive environment," he says. "In a world where there are a lot of competitors, I want to prove that we can continue to win and get the best results for our advertisers."
Position: Regional president, Entercom Communications Corp.
Quote: "As long as we give people a reason to come back to our product, there's not going to be a problem. It's all about the engagement level and how your content stands out."
