Hyannis Air Service, Inc., operating as Cape Air, is an airline headquartered at Barnstable Municipal Airport in Barnstable, Massachusetts, United States. It operates scheduled passenger services in the Northeast, Florida, the Caribbean, Mid-Atlantic States and Micronesia. Flights in Florida and Micronesia are operated as Continental Connection flights through a code share partnership with Continental Airlines. Flights between Hyannis and Nantucket, Massachusetts, are operated under the Nantucket Airlines brand, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cape Air.

History

Cessna 402C at Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport

The airline was co-founded in 1989 by company pilot Dan Wolf and a few of his close friends. Initially Cape Air flew between Provincetown and Boston in Massachusetts, but throughout the early 1990s new routes were added to destinations across southeastern New England. Services in Florida and the Caribbean were added in the late 1990s, and service in Micronesia commenced in 2004. In 1994, Cape Air and Nantucket Airlines merged and now offer hourly flights between Nantucket and Hyannis.

In late 2007, the airline began a new round of expansion in the Northeast and Midwest. On November 1, 2007, the airline began service between Boston and Rutland, Vermont, with three daily round trips. The route is subsidized by the US government under the Essential Air Service (EAS) program.

With the help of a government grant, Cape Air expanded into Indiana on November 13, 2007, offering flights from Indianapolis to Evansville and South Bend. The airline did not get the passengers numbers needed to be financially successful once subsidies would come to an end. The last Cape Air flight in Indiana was on August 31, 2008.

The airline expanded into upstate New York in early 2008 following the sudden demise of Delta Connection carrier Big Sky Airlines. Cape Air began flying three daily round-trips on Essential Air Service routes from Boston to the Adirondack cities of Plattsburgh and Saranac Lake on February 12, 2008.

The airline continued its expansion into New York when they started to fly the EAS routes out of Albany to Watertown, Ogdensburg, and Massena. Cape Air commenced service from Rockland, Maine, and Lebanon, New Hampshire, to Boston on November 1, 2008. The company recently purchased four additional Cessna 402’s to assist with the recent growth.

Cape Air was also looking to offer service on the west coast. Cape Air submitted bids to offer service between Newport and Portland in the state of Oregon. The airline was hoping to be selected by the Newport city council to receive a financial grant to jump-start the service. Ultimately they lost out to another local airline which was able to get the service going sooner than the 2010 date that Cape Air had submitted.

The airline has also broken into the mid-Atlantic region. Cape Air provides regularly scheduled flights from both the Hagerstown Regional Airport and the Lancaster Airport to the Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

Cape Air has held discussions with airport officials to offer service between Pittsburgh International Airport and Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe, Pennsylvania and Erie International Airport in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Cape Air is the largest independent regional airline in the United States and carried more than 650,000 passengers in 2007, with new routes driving steady increases over time. Cape Air offers up to 550 daily flights system wide.

Nantucket Airlines

Nantucket Airlines, Cape Air’s sister airline, operates Cape Air service under the Nantucket Airlines name. Flights depart hourly, and operate between Nantucket (Nantucket Memorial Airport) and Hyannis (Barnstable Municipal Airport).

Destinations

Codeshares

Continental Airlines

All Cape Air flights in Florida and Micronesia are operated as Continental Connection in a codeshare agreement with Continental Airlines. Caribbean flights also have a codeshare with Continental, but are not operated as Continental Connection.

JetBlue

Since February 2007, Cape Air and JetBlue have had a codeshare agreement. The agreement allows Cape Air to carry JetBlue passengers from Boston’s Logan Airport to Cape Air’s destinations throughout Cape Cod and the surrounding islands. The agreement allows customers on both airlines to purchase seats on both airlines under one reservation. Customers also get their baggage transferred and Cape Air and Jet Blue are located in the same terminal in Boston which allows for an easy connection.

Fleet

As of April 2009, Cape Air’s fleet consists of the following aircraft:

Accidents and incidents

In January 2001, a Cape Air pilot and his only passenger were injured when a Cessna 402C crashed just short of the Martha’s Vineyard Airport on a flight from T. F. Green Airport in Warwick, Rhode Island.

In June 2007, Cape Air CEO Daniel Wolf announced the grounding of all of Cape Air’s 49 Cessna 402C aircraft nationwide, after three in-flight engine failures. The problem was blamed on premature wear on the crankshaft counterweight. All 402 services were canceled for two days while the counterweights were inspected and replaced as necessary. Normal service resumed about four days after the initial fleet grounding. The FAA stated that they were monitoring repairs, but that all action taken by Cape Air was voluntary not ordered, “They elected to do the right thing for safety.”

On September 26, 2008 Cape Air Flight 1055, a Cessna 402 aircraft, departed Martha’s Vineyard at 8:05 pm on a flight to Boston. Shortly after takeoff from runway 33, the plane went down about two and a half miles from the airport, killing the pilot who was the sole occupant. Prior to this date, Cape Air had maintained a fatality-free record over its 18-year history.

Arirang Festival mass games display in Pyongyang.

The Grand Mass Gymnastics and Artistic Performance Arirang are held in the Rungrado May Day Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea to celebrate the late Communist leader Kim Il-sung’s birthdate on April 15. The opening event of the two month festival are the mass games, which are famed for the huge mosaic pictures created by thousands of very well trained and disciplined school children, each holding up coloured cards, in an event known in the West as a “card stunt”, accompanied by complex and highly choreographed group routines performed by tens of thousands of gymnasts and dancers.

In August 2007, the Arirang Mass Games were recognised by Guinness World Records as the biggest event of its kind. In recent years, the DPRK has opened up the reclusive state to foreign tourists to watch one of the many performances.

Thomas B. Costain (1954)

Thomas Bertram Costain (May 8, 1885 - October 8, 1965) was a Canadian journalist who became a best-selling author of historical novels at the age of 57.

Life

Costain was born in Brantford, Ontario to John Herbert Costain and Mary Schultz. He attended high school there as well as the Brantford Collegiate Institute. Before graduating from high school he had written four novels, one of which was a 70,000 word romance about Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange. These early novels were all rejected by publishers.

Costain’s career as a writer began in 1902 when the Brantford Courier accepted a mystery story from him, and he became a reporter there (for five dollars a week). He was an editor at the Guelph Daily Mercury between 1908 and 1910. He married Ida Randolph Spragge (1888-1975) in York, Ontario on January 12, 1910. The couple had two children, Molly (Mrs. Howard Haycraft) and Dora (Mrs. Henry Darlington Steinmetz). Also in 1910, Costain joined the Maclean Publishing Group where he edited three trade journals. Beginning in 1914, he was a staff writer for and, from 1917, editor of Toronto-based Maclean’s magazine. His success there brought him to the attention of The Saturday Evening Post in New York City where he was fiction editor for fourteen years.

In 1920 he became a naturalized U.S. citizen. He also worked for Doubleday Books as an editor 1939-1946. He was the head of 20th Century Fox’s bureau of literary development (story department) from 1934 to 1942.

In 1940, he wrote four short novels but was “enough of an editor not to send them out”. He next turned to a plan to write six books in a series he called “The Stepchildren of History”. He would write about six interesting but unknown historical figures. For his first, he wrote about the seventeenth century pirate John Ward aka Jack Ward. In 1942, he realized his long-time dream when this first novel For My Great Folly was published, and it became a best-seller with over 132,000 copies sold. The New York Times reviewer stated at the end of the review “there will be no romantic-adventure lover left unsatisfied.” In January 1946 he “retired” to spend the rest of his life writing, at a rate of about 3,000 words a day.

Raised as a Baptist, he was reported in the 1953 Current Biography to be an attendant of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He was described as a handsome, tall, broad-shouldered man with a pink and white complexion, clear blue eyes, and a slight Canadian accent. He was white-haired by the time he began to write novels. He loved animals and could not even kill a bug (but he also loved bridge, and he did not extend the same policy to his partners). He also loved movies and the theatre (he met his future wife when she was performing Ruth in the The Pirates of Penzance).

Costain’s work is a mixture of commercial history (such as The White and The Gold, a history of New France to around 1720) and fiction that relies heavily on historic events (one review stated it was hard to tell where history leaves off and apocrypha begins). His most popular novel was The Black Rose (1945), centered in the time and actions of Bayan of the Baarin also known as Bayan of the Hundred Eyes. Costain noted in his forward that he initially intended the book to be about Bayan and Edward I, but became caught up in the legend of Thomas a Becket’s parents: an English knight married to an Eastern girl. The book was a selection of the Literary Guild with a first printing of 650,000 copies and sold over two million copies in its first year.

His research led him to believe that Richard III was a great monarch tarred by conspiracies, after his death, with the murder of the princes in the tower. Costain supported his theories with documentation, suggesting that the real murderer was Henry VII.

Costain died in 1965 at his New York City home of a heart attack at the age of 80. He is buried in the Farringdon Cemetery in Brantford.

Awards and honors

He received a Doctor of Letters (D. Litt) degree from the University of Western Ontario in May 1952 and he received a gold medallion from the Canadian Club of New York in June 1965. The Thomas B. Costain public elementary school (1953) and the Thomas B. Costain – S.C. Johnson Community Centre (2002) in Brantford are named in his honor.

His daughter Molly Costain Haycraft became a writer of historical novels.

‘Dahuk (also spelled Duhok, Dohuk, Dehok or Dahok, Kurdish: ????, Arabic: ????, Syriac: ??????, Nohadra) is a city in northern Iraq and is the capital of Dahuk Governorate in Iraqi Kurdistan. It has about 500,000 inhabitants, mostly consisting of Kurds and Assyrians. According to some sources, the name “Dohuk” comes from Kurmanji Kurdish meaning “small village”.

Circled by mountains along the Tigris river, Dahuk has a growing tourist industry. Dahuk’s population grew extremely since the 1990s as the rural population moved to the cities, mostly consisting of Kurds though. The University of Dohuk, founded in 1992, is a renowned center for teaching and research in Dohuk.

Since the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the United States during the Iraq War, Dohuk and Iraqi Kurdistan in general have remained the only safe places for foreigners. No reconstruction was necessary as no fighting occurred there while there has been considerable foreign investment, especially from Turkish businesses. Today, many new buildings, shops and minimalls can be seen unlike in areas outside Kurdish control.

It’s the major city of the Badinan population of the Kurds.

Taenidiae are circumferential thickenings of the cuticle inside a trachea or tracheole in an insect’s respiratory system. The geometry of the taenidiae varies across different orders of insects and even throughout the tracheae in an individual organism. Taenidia generally take the form of either hoop or spiral thickenings of the tracheal cuticle.

Das Rad (English title: Rocks) is a German animated film written and directed by Chris Stenner, Arvid Uibel and Heidi Wittlinger. It was produced using a mixture of stop motion, puppetry, and CGI animation.

The film tracks a hillside from ancient times through the present and into the future, usually moving through time at high speed, representing geologic time (so that buildings appear and disappear in an instant), but occasionally switching to real time and showing the inhabitants and objects in motion in their day-to-day existence.

The movie was nominated for the Academy Award for Animated Short Film in 2003. And it won several other awards in respectable festivals like the Anima Mundi Animation Festival, Annecy International Animated Film Festival, Sweden Fantastic Film Festival, and the Fantoche International Animation Film Festival.

It was produced by the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Taxable Wages, in payroll, is the sum of all earnings by an employee that are eligible for a particular type of tax. Each tax is different and has different regulations about limits to the amount of wages that can be considered taxable with respect to that tax.

Example

A common example, FUTA Tax, which stands for the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, in the United States, currently (in 2004) has a taxable wage limit of 7000 dollars. As described on the form which records information for this tax paid by employers, IRS form 940, only the first 7000 dollars of wages earned by each employee can be considered for the FUTA tax.

In this example, Joe Spittle earns 8500. Since this is higher than the limit of FUTA for taxable wages, which is 7000, the FUTA tax calculated for Joe cannot be calculated against any more than the limit of 7000.
