Traits of an Outstanding Leader: A Primer for the Next UN Secretary-General

At the end of this year, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will complete his 10-year tenure and the ninth secretary-general will take office on Jan. 1. Whether the new secretary-general will be male or female, most would agree that he or she be someone with strong moral courage and integrity; act as a voice for the world's most vulnerable people; and embody the ideals and purposes of the UN.
The UN Charter describes the secretary-general as "chief administrative officer" of the organization, who also performs "such other functions as are entrusted" to the office by the Security Council, General Assembly, Economic and Social Council and other UN organs. The Charter empowers the secretary-general to "bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security."
These guidelines define the powers of the office while granting it considerable scope for action. However, the secretary-general would fail if he did not take into careful account the concerns of the 193 member nations, while upholding the values of the UN and speaking and acting for peace, even at the risk of disagreeing with those governments. The Charter gives scant information on the qualifications needed for the UN's top diplomat and chief administrative officer.
Does leadership depend on empowering others to follow or does it demand something much more? Equally important, what exactly is the secretary-general's role? Many people have suggested that the UN's most senior official should either be a secretary or a general, while others say the person must be both and more. The world's utmost diplomat must use her independence, impartiality and good offices to prevent conflict, broker peace and stand up for human rights.
The debate over definition is addressed in "Secretary or General?: The UN Secretary-General in World Politics," by Simon Chesterman, who writes that the tension between these roles — being secretary or general — has challenged every incumbent. This book brings together the insights of senior UN staff, diplomats and scholars to examine the normative and political factors that shape this unique office with particular emphasis on how it has evolved in response to changing circumstances, such as globalization and the onset of the "war on terror." The difficulties experienced by each secretary-general reflect the ambivalence of states toward entrusting their security, interests or resources to an intergovernmental body. The secretary-general must be a person, then, with strong interpersonal and communication skills, able to navigate smoothly in our increasingly multipolar world and drive a global transition to sustainable development. Chesterman, dean and professor of law at the National University of Singapore, is also the secretary-general of the Asian Society of International Law and editor of the Asian Journal of International Law. Additional reading by Chesterman is a chapter in Global Governance Volume 21, No 4: "The Secretary General We Deserve."
"The UN Secretary-General and Secretariat" (2nd edition), by Leon Gordenker, is a new edition of this accessible introduction to the role of the secretary-general. It continues to offer a keen insight into the UN — the Secretariat and its head, the secretary-general — summing up the history, structure, operations, strengths and weaknesses of the global institution. Gordenker, emeritus professor of politics at Princeton University, provides an ideal introduction for students of the UN and other international organizations. It is a clear, concise presentation to the substantive work of the UN's permanent staff and the role of the secretary-general in policy development.
"The Great Convergence: Asia, the West and the Logic of One World," by Kishore Mahbubani, prescribes solutions for improving global institutional order in the 21st century and diagnoses seven geopolitical fault lines that need the most serious attention and reform. Mahbubani served two stints as Singapore's ambassador to the UN and was president of the Security Council in January 2001 and May 2002. Currently, he is the dean and professor in the practice of public policy at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy of the National University of Singapore.
"The UN Secretary-General and Moral Authority: Ethics and Religion in International Leadership," edited by Kent J. Kille, describes what Secretary-General Trygve Lie, the first person to hold the job and a Norwegian, called the "most impossible job on earth," a position that is as frustratingly constrained as it is prestigious. The secretary-general's ability to influence global affairs often depends on how the international community regards his moral authority, and this book suggests that past officeholders have drawn on their own ethics and religious backgrounds, as diverse as Lutheranism, Catholicism, Buddhism and Coptic Christianity, to guide them in handling the UN's goals. Contributors to "The UN Secretary-General and Moral Authority" offer case studies of all seven former secretaries-general who preceded Ban Ki-moon, the current UN leader, establishing a comparative survey of each officeholder's personal religious and moral values. From the forbearance of Lie during the UN's turbulent formative years, to the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Kofi Annan, a Ghanaian, and the UN in 2001, the studies detail the environmental and experiential factors that forged these secretary-generals' ethical frameworks and analyze how their "inner code" engaged with the duties of office and global events. Kille, the editor, chairman and associate professor in the department of political science at the College of Wooster, is also the author of "From Manager to Visionary: The Secretary-General of the United Nations."
"Indispensable: When Leaders Really Matter," by Gautam Mukunda, an assistant professor in the Organizational Behavior Unit at the Harvard Business School, looks at how and when individuals make a difference. By identifying and analyzing the patterns of their careers and exploring the systems that place these leaders in positions of power, the book sheds light on how we can better identify the best leaders and what lessons we can learn from the process and the result. Mukunda profiles a mix of historic and modern figures, from Thomas Jefferson to Winston Churchill, telling how they came to power and how they made the most important decisions of their lives.
Officeholders have adapted their own styles of leadership to the office of secretary-general. Previous leaders, such as Kofi Annan, were known for their strong public image as advocates; others, such as Ban Ki-moon, are viewed more as bridge- builders or bureaucratic administrators. "Political Ethics and The United Nations: Dag Hammarskjold as Secretary-General," by Manuel Froehlich, explores the foundations of the political ethics of Hammarskjold, the second UN Secretary-General and a Swede, and how they influenced his actions in several crisis situations. Hammarskjold's innovations, such as the creation of peacekeeping forces, the use of private diplomacy and the concept of an international civil service, were bold attempts at translating the aims and principles of the UN Charter into concrete thought and action.
"Next Best in 2016? The UN Secretary-General Must Be a Reformer," an analysis by Stephen Browne and Thomas G. Weiss, provides a useful account of the interaction between the top UN official and member governments. Browne is director of the Future United Nations Development System (FUNDS) and a fellow of the Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies at The Graduate Center, City University of New York, and Weiss is director emeritus of the institute as well as Presidential Professor of Political Science at CUNY. They write: "UN member states and secretariats normally respond to emerging problems by creating new mechanisms, often putting existing UN organizations in new and unworkable configurations but virtually never getting rid of old institutions. Cumbersome responses to food security, migration and health are just three recent examples: many organizations at the table but without any unifying approach." A good secretary-general, they argue, must be equipped with deep knowledge of the organization — and even charisma – to get the job done.
"Powers to Lead," by Joseph S. Nye (2010 edition) asks what qualities make a leader succeed in business or politics. In an era when the information revolution has dramatically changed the playing field, as old organizational hierarchies have given way to more fluid networks of contacts and mistrust of leaders is on the rise, he writes, our ideas about leadership need redefinition. Through his book, Nye, University Distinguished Service Professor and former dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, offers a broad assessment of leadership today. He notes that many people now believe that the more authoritarian and coercive forms of leadership — the hard-power approaches of earlier political eras — have given way to soft-power policies to attract, inspire and persuade rather than dictate. Nye argues that the most effective leaders are actually those who combine hard and soft power as situations demand.
"Politics Among Nations: The Struggle for Power and Peace" ( 7th edition), by Hans Morgenthau, Kenneth W. Thompson and David Clinton. This classic study continues to be the longest-living text for courses in international studies. The latest revised edition includes Morgenthau's original work, supplemented by a 40-page introduction by the editors: Thompson, a former director of the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia (who died in 2013), and Clinton, the political science department chairman at Baylor University. What follows the introduction are the perspectives of a dozen statesmen, scholars and observers each offering insights on Morgenthau's concepts as they relate to current crises on every continent.
On a lighter note, while "Star Trek" — pure science fiction — celebrates its 50th anniversary, there may be lessons to be learned from its leaders, as plumbed in this article, from Business Insider, "6 Effective Leadership Styles We Can Learn From Star Trek," by Aine Cain. To boldly go where no one has gone before, you've got to be an awesome leader, Cain wrote. Throughout the "Star Trek" series, captains and commanders have taken very different approaches.
In his book "Primal Leadership," Daniel Goleman (with co-authors Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee) concluded that people tend to fall into one of six leadership styles, as exemplified by "Star Trek" commanders: the visionary, Capt. Jean-Luc Picard; the coach, Capt. Jonathan Archer Shin; the affiliative leader, Capt. Kathryn Janeway; the democratic Capt. Benjamin Sisko; the pace-setter, Capt. James T. Kirk; and the commanding personality, Gowron, a Klingon.

by the light of the silvery moon…a list of five
orangemarmaladebooks November 14, 2016 One Comment
Did you see that glorious supermoon last night?! Breathtaking.
I've noticed a spate of titles coming out this year focusing on the moon and what better time to share them. There's something about that spill of silver on the lawn, that luminous, glowing ball lighting up the sky, that enchants us, right? Here are some treats to enjoy by the light of the moon.
Armstrong: The Adventurous Journey of a Mouse to the Moon, written and illustrated by Torben Kuhlmann, English translation by David Henry Wilson
published in 2016 by NorthSouth Books
The amazing Torben Kuhlmann is back with another flying mouse! His first book, Lindbergh: The Tale of a Flying Mouse, reviewed here, won him immediate, worldwide status as a storyteller to watch.
Here, once again, we are treated to a sumptuous feast of his precise, copious, stunning illustration work as he spins the tale of the U.S.-Soviet Space Race into a mouse-ish fantasy. Kuhlmann's architectural details and mechanical gadgetry are the bomb!
The hordes of common, ordinary New York City mice are convinced that the moon is made of cheese. They've got no time for this fellow Armstrong's nonsense about a giant ball of stone spinning along in outer space. When Armstrong ventures to the Smithsonian, though, he meets an elderly mouse named Lindbergh who encourages him to follow his flights of fancy — to study up and fly to the moon.
It's a long, arduous, journey, and one not reported by the major broadcasting networks! You'll be amazed and surprised to discover just who was the first to plant a tiny foot on the moon!
An illustrated, short history of space travel is included. It's an inspired, colossal treat for ages 7 through adult.
The Darkest Dark, written by Chris Hadfield with Kate Fillion, illustrated by the Fan Brothers
Tip #1: If you see something illustrated by the Fan Brothers — do not hesitate! Grab it! That's what led me to this book which turns out to be a lovely, nostalgic, and definitely more historically-accurate account of space travel than the mousey adventure above!
It's the semi-autobiographical account of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, but don't let that dry word "semi-autobiographical" conjure up anything remotely fusty. This book goes down like lemon pudding.
Hadfield grew up summering at a cottage amidst the pristine wilderness of Stag Island, Ontario. It was a glorious spot for canoeing and playing the ukulele under towering pines. But…when night fell, so far from any city lights, it was darker than dark, and Chris was afraid of the dark. Those aliens hiding in his room. Scary stuff.
On July 20, 1969, Chris watched the grainy images of the Apollo 11 moon landing. The intrigue of those intrepid explorers, the dusty surface of the moon, the mysterious, very dark-darkness of outer space — well it all tripped a switch in Hadfield's young mind. Suddenly he could appreciate the "power and mystery and velvety black beauty of the dark."
It's a great story. And those Fan Brothers! Oh my. Their tender palette, soft textures, serene compositions, yesteryear sensibility — it's all mesmerizing. Then they go ahead and drop in the most adorably-spooky aliens you could imagine. Capture the glowing magic of the moon. Charm us with a darling pug. And blast imagination into our dreams. A-ma-zing.
Top it off with a note about Hadfield and a photo montage of his childhood and astronaut experiences and ladies and gentlemen — we have a winner! Ages 3 and up.
For another gorgeous look at conquering fear of the dark by focusing on the beauty of the moon, try:
The Moon Inside, written by Sandra V. Feder, illustrated by Aimée Sicuro, published in 2016 by Groundwood Books.
I won't take the time to thoroughly review this charming story, but take a look at some of the artwork and you'll get a terrific feel for the cadence and tone of this soothing, affectionate account.
No need for further enticements, right? So sweet for sharing with children ages 2 and up.
The Moon's Almost Here, written by Patricia MacLachlan, illustrated by Tomie dePaola
published in 2016 by Margaret K. McElderry Books
Waves of tranquil turquoise, amethyst, ocean blue and moonlit silver flood the pages of this bedtime rhyme, created by a team of children's literature masters.
The sky is deepening from the pale blue of early evening to the deep midnight blue of full-on night, and creatures large and small are making their ways home to sleep. Mother robin gathers her babies to the nest, the mare whinnies a song to her colt, and fireflies begin their evening twinkling.
Tomie dePaola's mime leads a white-robed child over these slumberous hillsides, witness to all this tucking in, and witness to the enormous beauty of the moon, flooding the skies with her shine.
It's a lovely, hushed bedtime book for ages 15 months and up.
Mr. Squirrel and the Moon, written and illustrated by Sebastian Meschenmoser, translated from the German by David Henry Wilson
first published in Germany, 2006;English translation published in 2015 by NorthSouth Books
"One morning Mr. Squirrel woke up because the moon had fallen onto his tree."
Now that, my friends, is quite a wake-up call!
For this frowsy squirrel, it causes out-and-out panic. How did it get here? Did a thief snatch it from the sky and lose it on his doorstep? Might the authorities come looking for it and accuse him of the burglary? In which case, would he wind up in jail?! A grim vision of a barren cell, impeccably rendered by Meschenmoser, equipped with a tiny bunk and even teensier wee commode, flashes before Mr. Squirrel's eyes.
So begins squirrel's epic struggle to restore the moon to its rightful spot. It's an outlandish, trouble-plagued effort, brilliantly told via Meschenmoser's scratchity lines, expressive animal figures, and judicious swishes of color.
The story begins on the endpapers of the book and continues on the frontispiece, so don't miss the surprising first incidents in this wild sequence of events. Fantastic for ages 2 and up.
Almost a Full Moon, written by Hawksley Workman, illustrated by Jensine Eckwall
published in 2016 by Tundra Books
A snowy day. A gleaming, almost-full moon. A kettle of delicious homemade soup, chock full of pumpkin and parsnips and aromatic herbs.
All magically draw a flurry of folks to this cozy cottage to share a hot meal round the table on a cold night.
That's the gist of the lyrics to a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Hawksley Workman which make up the text to this book. It's a homespun ode to community, beauty, wintertime, good soup, and the moon.
This is Jensine Eckwall's first book and oh my! I am completely smitten with her illustration work! (View more of it at her gorgeous website here.) A lovely, autumn-spice, watercolor palette, rich details and hearty companionableness, the warmth of home and the chill of a frosty night — every page is a beauty. "Let's make some soup 'cause the weather's turning cold!" Chant it with gusto, along with little soup-slurpers ages 18 months and up.

Isn't it interesting that lip balm varieties are listed as flavors, instead of scents and essences? An effective lip balm should not only provide exceptional healing elements for dry and weather-worn lips, but a pleasant aroma and taste. EOS lip balms are infused with extravagant flavors that make treating the lips an absolute pleasure.
One of the most extraordinarily inviting and smooth EOS lip balm flavors is Sweet Mint. This balm's infused flavor is strong and immediately noticeable after gliding-on the first layer of healing compounds. The natural mint flavor is pleasing to both the mouth and the nasal passages. A gentle non-medicinal mint cooling creates a soft and invigorating aura for the mouth and lips. Click on costco.ca for the product's specification.
EOS eggs are perhaps the most inventive and style-sensitive lip balms on the market. They are created with the fashion-forward person in mind, and deliver the best ingredients in a compact and convenient canister.
Every EOS lip balm variety is infused with ingredients that are proven to heal and restore weathered lips in the most glamorous and medically sound way possible. There are hundreds of unique flavors in the EOS lip balm catalog, and each one delivers natural healing power with the inclusion of ingredients like Shea butter, vitamin E, and lanolin.
EOS Sweet Mint lip balm is a rich and inviting mint flavored topical. The mint flavor is never overpowering, has an exotic presence, and will not interfere with the enjoyment of other food and beverage flavors. While easily applied, this sweet mint balm tingles as it works to heal, but leaves plenty of room to enjoy other flavors from food and drinks. It's also ideal for creating the ideal environment for healing lips to enjoy the occasional kiss. This is one of the more classy and universal flavors provided by the EOS lip balm line. Useful link on walmart.ca.
Nowadays, there is a lot of talk and focus on the aspect of health and using products that are all natural, as everyone wants to be healthy so they can look better for longer. This is largely why there is such a big market for personal care items on all areas of the body, such as foot creams and powders, sunscreens, lip balms, moisturizers, face toners, and much more.
An often overlooked aspect of a persons health is the lips. Some people may not have any issues with dry or chapped lips, but there are many out there who deal with it regularly, especially those who travel and are in cold weather. This is why lip balms have managed to become so popular today, as they are the perfect on go tool to heal the lips and keep them feeling and looking healthy.
There are many different choices when it comes to lip balms, but its a good idea for anyone to do a little research before just buying a product, as there are many out there that are low quality and don't offer much. One of the more popular and effective brands out there is Evolution of Smooth's lip balms, which come in different varieties of smooth sphere applicators.
Even though makeup trends come and go, the lip balm market belonged solely to Chapstick for many years. They came in Spartan packaging with little flair and choices were limited. However, over the last seven years, celebrities and fashion magazines alike have cited EOS as their go-to lip balm. The colorful, round packages of fruity balm sprouted up in department and drug stores all over America and became a huge hit with young women.
Kline Research concluded that EOS' sales have now outdone both Chapstick and Blistex with only Burt's Bees coming out ahead. The demand for organic beauty products will only increase EOS' popularity in years to come. However, only recently has Evolution of Smooth (EOS) spoken about their success. They wanted to focus all their effort on the product itself, so they waited until now to open up about their business practices.
Jonathan Teller, one of the EOS creators, says that lip balm was an obvious choice because many of the competitors had not been modernized in years. Research told them that women used lip balm nearly every day, but they found nothing fun about the process. The EOS packaging needed to engage all the senses, thus the colorful, round shape and pleasant scents. Since many other lip balms were unisex, they needed the packaging to be feminine and bright. The goal was to create a bond with female buyers instead of just selling them a product.
Though Teller and co-founder Sanjiv Mehra knew they had a great idea, going up against big competitors was daunting. They hired talented sales representatives and bought their own manufacturing equipment to speed along the process. Their manufacturing process is almost completely automated, which cuts down on labor and time constraints. Walgreen's became the first store to sell EOS with Walmart @walmart.ca and Target close behind.
Instead of using traditional TV and magazine campaigns to attract millennial buyers, EOS was featured on YouTube videos and Instagram photos to create a buzz. Beauty blogs and video reviews were instrumental in EOS' early success. EOS soon collaborated with popular brands and designers, like Keds and Disney, to reach a larger audience. Celebrities like Britney Spears and Demi Lovato helped EOS become the largest advertiser in their beauty category.
Now that it is fall, the winter will come in a mere three months. To keep healthy and stay at your best, it is important to keep certain items in your purse for the colder weather. If you are a busy mom, this is also a practice you should instill in your kids. Here are a few essential items to carry in your bag during winter.
Tissues are something everything should carry with them, just in case. If you or your child has allergies, these should be in your bags all the time. However, if you don't suffer from allergies, you will want them regardless during the colder months of the year. Colds go around more frequently than ever, which means if you feel a sniffle or two coming on, you will appreciate having tissues on hand for blowing and wiping your nose.
You and your kids will definitely want to have a good lip balm on hand to combat dry, chapped lips. EOS, or Essence of Smooth, lip balm is all natural and includes ingredients like vitamin E, shea butter and avocado oil for the softest lips possible. EOS is available in amazing flavors like Passion Fruit, Strawberry Sorbet and Sweet Mint and are very affordable, check this on walmart.ca.
Hand cream or lotion is another essential for the winter. This is the time when your hands become dry and irritated the most, even if you are wearing gloves. Hand cream can even serve a dual purpose in not only improving the quality of the skin of your hands but can also eliminate germs when you're on the go. Carry around a miniature bottle of lotion and give one to your child to carry in their schoolbag. Use whenever necessary to keep your hands moisturized. Useful link here.

EOS wanted to be able to make a type of lip balm that was specifically tailored to a woman, so that the lip balm would to be able to meet her needs.

3 Of The Week: (1/8/13)
By Jacob Testa @bobsheiskawy · On January 8, 2013
Continuing with the tradition set in place two years ago, the first few editions of the 3 Of The Week column in 2013 are going to take a focus on some of my favorite music from 2012. Looking over my list, I'm struck by how few of these acts might've been predicted before the year began. There were a lot of things I anticipated, but it seems that a lot of what struck me most came from where I least expected it. Great new music's always a good thing, and 2012 was a great year for new music. If you haven't heard these songs, you're in for a treat. They made my year that much better, and truly dominated my headspace for quite some time, up to this very day. I hope they do the same for you.
1. "Out On The Town" – fun., from Some Nights
If you've read anything I've written about Some Nights in the past ten and a half months or so, you know that the record hit me in a pretty unique way. This song, designated a "bonus track" but included on every version of the album available for purchase, is the epitome of almost everything I've felt from the rest of the songs. "Out On The Town" is really, really sad. Like, really. It's got that undeniable pop sensibility that only people of Nate Ruess's ilk can create, while still maintaining a level of sophistication in terms of structure, lyricism, and arrangement. It's the sort of song that infiltrates your ears and never leaves, but it's alright because it's so incredible. A lot of Some Nights makes me feel something, but most of the songs took a few listens. This one made me feel immediately, and it makes me feel even more now. When I look back on 2012, this makes the soundtrack as introduction, intermission, and closer. I can't say enough about how much I love this song, and I'm not sure I'd want to even try.
2. "Stay In The Sun" – Make Do And Mend, from Everything You Ever Loved
Nearly every time I've listened to this song, I've had the urge to share it in some form. Every single line rings true, and it's incredible how perfectly this track describes the sort of thoughts that can accompany any major change. In 2012, I left my college, the state I grew up in and still call home, transitioned into an even longer-distance relationship, and did a bunch of other things that it's in my nature to reflect upon. This song came at just the right time to make me apply it to everything. The first time I read the lines "you can click your heels until you wear holes in the floor and realize that no place feels like home anymore," I knew that this song was going to be great. Adding melody and dynamic instrumentation makes impactful lyricism even better. It's one of those rare tracks that I want to put on repeat, and I can't see it ever getting old. It's sounded like a classic from the first listen, and there's hardly a thing better than that feeling, from a songwriting perspective. One last favorite pair of lines: "There's nothing else that we could ever do. What comes and goes always goes too soon."
3. "How Long" – The Tower And The Fool, from How Long
Since our arbitrary number of full-lengths to write about on year-end lists was one shorter than my number of absolute favorite records from 2012, this is where I'm going to say that How Long is one of the best and most-overlooked pieces of art to be released last year. The record sounds like America, but in a somehow novel way. Blending folk, country, and rock, it's a chronicle of heartache that feels pure and honest in a way that most things simply don't. This song is everything I just said, but in one song and a single question: "How long am I gonna feel this way?" Centered around the ending of something that clearly hasn't ended well, the lyrics describe a universal understanding and are masterfully written to avoid sounding cliche. Over mostly acoustic guitars, lines like "she might not know it, but she wears my heart on her sleeve" (which help bookend the rest of the song) and "I bet you're hoping to see her and not really need her" express sorrow beautifully. How Long was my most-shared album of 2012, so I implore you to check the whole thing out here. Immediately.

A Győr–Pér repülőtér Magyarország öt nemzetközi repülőterének egyike. A 81-es főút mentén, Győr központjától Székesfehérvár irányába mintegy 15 kilométer távolságra található Pér község közigazgatási területén.

Megközelítése
A repülőtér a 81-es főútvonalról aszfaltozott bekötőúton érhető el. A repülőtérre vezető utat Pér községen belül táblák jelzik. A Győr–Pér repülőtér Győrből, valamint Székesfehérvárról menetrend szerinti közlekedő autóbuszjárattal is elérhető, a buszok Péren a repülőtéri bekötőút közelében állnak meg.
A repülőteret használó utasok részére előzetes egyeztetés szerint a repülőtér közúti transzfert tud szervezni.

Története
A korábban füves repülőtér fejlesztési munkálatai 2000-ben kezdődtek el a Phare CBC programból nyert és az Audi Hungaria Motor Kft. által biztosított pénzügyi források felhasználásával.

A szilárd burkolatú futópálya, az új forgalmi előtér és egyéb kapcsolódó létesítmények üzembe helyezése 2003-ban történt meg. A beruházások eredményeképpen a fejlesztést végző gazdasági társaság befektetett eszközértéke 1 milliárd forint fölé emelkedett. A továbbfejlesztett repülőtér 2003 júniusában fogadta az első nemzetközi járatot. A repülőtér igazi jelentősége a régió fejlődésére gyakorolt hatásában mérhető.

Jelenleg a repülőteret a Győr–Pér Repülőtér Kft üzemelteti.

A győri Audi gyár rendszeresen használja a repülőteret, a vállalat megbízásából a Private Wings légitársaság napi vállalati járatokat tart fenn Pér és a németországi Ingolstadt között. A gépek munkanapokon közlekednek Győr-Pér és Ingolstadt-Manching között heti harminc járattal, évi  utassal, a 600 km-es út 1 óra 10 perc időtartamú. A manchingi repülőtérről átszállással elérhető a nagyobb telephelyek többsége, például a braunschweigi repülőtér közelében fekvő wolfsburgi, salzgitteri gyártelepek, vagy akár az emdeni, vagy poznańi gyáregységek is.

A nyári időszakban a repülőtérről a montenegrói Tivatba indultak turista charter járatok. Péren jelentős mértékű az üzleti charter és a regionális teherszállító repülések száma, melyekkel a repülőtér nem csak a Nyugat-Dunántúli régiót, de Bécset, Budapestet és Pozsonyt is kiszolgálja.

2013-ban a korábban 1450 méter hosszú kifutópályát 2030 méteresre hosszabbították, így a reptér alkalmassá vált a diszkont légitársaságok körében népszerű Airbus A320-as és Boeing 737-es típusú repülőgépek fogadására is. Ezzel egyidőben a tulajdonosi szerkezet is átalakult, – a legnagyobb, 48%-os tulajdonrészt az Audi Hungária Zrt. birtokolja, Győr városa 40%, míg a magyar állam 12% felett rendelkezik.

Járatok

A repülőteret elsősorban a közeli Audi-gyár használja, ami dolgozói számára közvetlen vállalati járatot tart fenn a cég ingolstadti központjával a Private Wings légitársaság üzemeltetésében.

2014 nyarán a Wizz Air tárgyalásokba kezdett a reptérrel esetleges menetrend szerinti járatok elindításáról, de megállapodás nem született.

A reptérről sem 2014-ben, sem azóta nem indult menetrend szerinti járat.

Don't mess with Beliebers
Culture Music
Mia Steinberg
Twitter is a funny, marvelous thing. I work with it in my job as a social media consultant, and I use it extensively in my personal life to keep up with friends, connect with favourite celebrities, and find out what's happening in the world. In my role as a regular host at UVic's CFUV 101.9 radio station, I also have used Twitter to connect with musicians, both local and international, and find new tracks to play. I've been around the block when it comes to the little blue bird, but even I couldn't have anticipated the events of Oct. 4, 2013, on the Twitter feed of our very own CFUV station.
So Justin Bieber has recently released a new track, entitled "Heartbreak." It's no surprise that the online Bieber fans—or Beliebers—have been abuzz about it. There are millions of dedicated Justin adorers on Twitter spreading the good word; Bieber has over 45 million followers, many of them teenage girls who spend a great deal of their time pleading for a follow from their beloved teen idol. I think on some level we can all relate to the giddy, overwhelming feeling of teenage musician worship; it's a trend stretching all the way back to the screaming, swooning fans of Elvis and the Beatles, if not earlier. On the evening of the Oct. 4, one of Bieber's fans on Twitter requested that @CFUV play Bieber's new single, to which Program Director Johnnie Regalado replied with five words: "definitely won't be playing that."
Regalado believed the account to be an automated bot designed to appear like a teenage girl (they exist), and didn't think much about it. "At first I thought I was responding to a tweet by a spam bot. We often get very weird tweets requesting we play music," Regalado says. "I decided to respond to this one because I thought it was hilarious someone would ask our station to play a Justin Bieber track. Then the responses came pouring in."
The user was very real, and very unhappy at the response: she (it can be assumed, though not confirmed) retweeted CFUV with a frustrated "How Come?" added on. That was the spark that ignited a flame, as other Bieber fans took notice and began to talk about it. Faced with a public institution that had denied Bieber the attention they felt he deserved, the Beliebers took it very, very personally, responding to our humble little radio station in a variety of dramatic ways. Some were dumbfounded: "Is that a JOKE or for real?" one of the first responders asked; "Why not? U don't like playing GOOD music?" inquired another. "WTF WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU BETTER PLAY IT," was another outraged response. The tweets quickly turned angry; the Beliebers assured us that we'd just lost half of our listeners; they accused us of only playing bad music. "Did someone train [you] on how to lose viewers? BC you just did," said one; "They never had any, but they would of [sic] got some," replied another. And, of course, some just threatened violence.
By late that evening, CFUV had become, among Bieber fans, the "worst radio station ever"—there was even a hashtag. Some admitted to knowing nothing about CFUV, but jumped on the hate bandwagon anyway; others pulled the time-honoured CanCon argument (CRTC guidelines for minimum Canadian content quotient; Bieber is, as we've all tried to forget, from Ontario) in an effort to change our minds. By Monday, complete strangers had risen to CFUV's defense, pointing out that we are a university radio station and do not play Top 40 music at all. By the time the debacle had been chronicled on Storify on Monday afternoon, the fervour had mostly died down, with a few Beliebers even linking to the Storify post with a chuckle (or an LMFAO, as it were), showing what happens when you mess with such dedicated fans.
The entire debacle has been a fascinating and funny peek into the groupthink mentality of lovestruck teenagers, and how the anonymity of Twitter lends a certain bravado that wasn't present in the pre-Internet days. When I was 12, I would have been devastated if someone insulted my beloved Backstreet Boys, but never to the point of a death threat. The social web has created a new outlet for fans to connect with one another and Bieber's fans are at the age when hormones and adolescence collide, making for a particularly obsessive form of mania. As these young teens mature, they must explore their burgeoning sexual desires, and they do so by identifying with and adoring popular musicians, actors, and other famous faces; these teen idols are attractive, but not threatening. More than just an appreciation for the music, the fans feel that they are personally connected; they feel the need to spread the word and protect Justin's good name, and a slight to him feels like a personal slap to the face. Most of us can probably relate; we all go through this stage as a part of growing into adulthood. My mother was a Beatlemaniac; I was desperately in love with Christian Bale from the movie Newsies and Nick Carter from BSB; today's tweens are Beliebers. The difference for this latest crowd is that they can connect with one another online, creating an instantaneous network that affirms their own sense of identity and strengthens their conviction that they are Legion, for they are many.
In the end, the attack of the Beliebers has been taken in good humour from both sides. "My reaction so far, and shared by the rest of the CFUV staff, has been pure amusement," Regalado says. "It's been making us laugh all weekend . . . I feel like this is one of the best things to happen to CFUV's social media presence ever. We've received close to a hundred tweets and retweets. Both haters and solidarity from our friends in campus, community radio, and the greater Victoria community." Curious, I reached out to the original Bieber fan who contacted CFUV to get her perspective; in the end, she felt a little embarrassed that her request had sparked such rage and death threats, especially when she never sent any of them herself. But she has linked to the Storify post several times with humour and a little bit of incredulity; I don't think she ever expected her request to cause such a stir.
For me, CFUV's tangle with the Beliebers is particularly pertinent as I prepare for the debut of my own regular show on the station. In the decade since my own teenage fanaticism phase, I've grown into a fairly sophisticated music fan: I have a healthy number of signed vinyl albums, I've taken time to know my queer rappers and my post-rock collectives, and can proudly name a dozen Canadian bands that aren't Bieber, Avril, or Nickelback. But I grew up in the era of BSB, N'Sync, and 98 Degrees; those bands were just as silly, and we annoyed just as many members of the older generations with our love for them. I eventually came to love more sophisticated sounds; many of these Beliebers will mature and find themselves on similar paths. CFUV is a station manned by people who love the music they play, and take time to seek out non-commercial options. And while we won't be playing Justin Bieber anytime soon (sorry, fans, no deal), these events are a good reminder that music is a vitally important part of how we grow up and who we eventually become.

Death of Riley the Search Dog News Release
Aug 9, 2021 | News Releases
The Santa Barbara County Fire Department is sad to announce the death of our retired Live Scent Search Dog, Riley. Born on October 1st in Northern California, Riley, after 2 attempts at domestic life found his place in this world as a Live Scent Search Dog, trained by the Search Dog Foundation in Santa Paula, California.
On October 15, 2009, Riley finished his basic Search Dog training and was paired with Captain Eric Gray of the Santa Barbara County Fire Department. The team worked extremely hard and after seven months of training together, they passed their FEMA Certification on May 15, 2010 in Boston, MA. Eric and Riley continued to train intensively to maintain the very specific, high-level skill set needed for disaster search. In addition to their regular daily training on obedience and obstacles, Eric and Riley traveled at least twice a week for search training with their teammates on California Task Force 2, based in Los Angeles.
Riley and Eric had several high profile deployments over their career together. On August 24, 2010, Eric and Riley responded to their first disaster, a semi-truck loaded with gravel had launched off the road and into a Santa Barbara home. Riley Worked tirelessly ensuring no victims were left unaccounted for.
Riley's work was not limited to local incidents, On March 10th, 2011, while assigned to Los Angeles County FEMA Task Force 2, he and Captain Gray were deployed to Japan to search for victims in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake and tsunami.
On April 26th 2015 Captain Gray and Riley were again deployed overseas to provide their services to the victims of the Nepal Earthquake. They worked for over a week looking for and locating victims amongst the rubble.
In 2017 the duo brought their skills to Puerto Rico to search for victims of Hurricane Maria.
Riley's last high profile deployment was On January 9th 2018 where he and Captain Gray searched for several days following the devastating Montecito debris flow.
Riley spent his last two years at home with Captain Gray and his family. We would like to send our condolences and appreciation to not only Captain Gray but also the Search Dog Foundation for connecting Riley with Captain Gray and the community.
