Commuter Airlines:Their Changing Role

In - Commuter Airlines: Their Changing Role ��� an essay by J. A. F. Nicholls, Transportation Coordinator, Department of Marketing and Environment, College of Business Administration, Florida International University, Nicholls initially observes: ���The great majority of airline passenger miles flown in the United States are between large conurbations. People living in metropolitan areas may be quite unaware of commuter airlines and their role in our transportation system. These airlines are, however, communications lifelines for dwellers in small - and not so small - towns and rural areas. More germanely, commuter airlines have also developed a pivotal role vis-a-vis the major carriers in this country. The author discusses the antecedents of the commuter Airlines, their current role, and future prospects.��� Huh; conurbations? Definition: [n.] a large urban area created when neighboring towns spread into and merge with each other In providing a brief history on the subject of commuter airlines, Nicholls states: ������there had been a sort of commuter airline as far back as 1926 when, for example, the Florida Airways Corporation provided flights between Jacksonville and Atlanta, Colonial Air Lines between New York and Boston, and Ford Air Transport from Detroit to Cleveland.��� ���The passage of the Civil Aeronautics Act in 1938 was pivotal in encouraging and developing a passenger orientation by the airlines������ Nicholls informs you. Nicholls provides for the importance of this act by saying: ���The CAA was empowered to act ���in the public interest and in accordance with the public convenience and necessity.��� Only the CAA itself could determine what constituted the ���public convenience and necessity.��� Nobody, however, could provide air transportation for public purposes without a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, dispensed by the CAA.��� The author wants you to know that this all happens in the age of airline regulation; that is to say, pre de-regulation i.e. 1978. Airlines could not and did not act on their own behalf; their actions were governed by the regulating agency, that being the Civil Aeronautics Board [CAB], who administered the conditions set forth by the CAA. ���In 1944 the CAB introduced a new category of service called feeder airlines to provide local service-short-haul, low density-for smaller communities. These carriers soon became known as air taxis since they operated as common carriers, without a regular schedule,��� says Nicholls in describing the evolution of the service. In 1969 the CAB officially designated these small air carriers as commuter airlines. They were, and are subject to passenger limits and freight/weight restrictions. Nicholls continues by defining how air carriers are labeled and categorized post 1978; in the age of de-regulation.

An analysis of the factors that influence regional economic development cooperation

This dissertation is a comparative case study of regional cooperation in the field of economic development. In the 21st century global economy, proponents of regionalism have put forth fresh arguments for collective action. A regional approach to economic development activity presents a classic social dilemma: How can local officials collectively improve the economic prospects of a region, and remain autonomous to act in the best interest of the local community? This research examines the role of social capital in overcoming this social dilemma. ^ Three (3) comparable Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) form the empirical basis of this research. The Houston MSA, the Atlanta MSA and the Miami MSA present distinct variations of regionalized economic development activity. This dissertation seeks to explain this disparity in the dependent variable. The hypothesis is that accrued social capital is crucial to obtaining economic development cooperative agreements.^ This qualitative research utilized secondary demographic and economic databases, survey instruments, interviews, field observations, and a review of legislative and administrative decisions to formulate a clear understanding of the factors influencing the current state of regional economic development cooperation within each region. The study concludes that the legislative and executive decisions of state government exert inordinate influence on the capacity of local officials to cooperate regionally for economic development purposes.^

Love comes in at the eye

LOVE COMES IN AT THE EYE relates the story of Marshall Craig, a Midwesterner transplanted to South Florida who turns 35 in the course of the book. Marshall is an assistant curator for a Miami art museum, a man who has been obsessed with--as he calls it--a greed for seeing from a young age. His fascination with the surface of appearance of things is exacerbated by his precocious studies in art and its histories. Marshall views himself as marked by his red hair and freckled skin, as someone whose chances of attracting a partner into a meaningful relationship have been diminished by his looks. He is colored by his image of himself as unattractive and most importantly, convinced that his romantic life would be more successful, more vibrant, if he'd been graced with the face and figure of, say, a Velazquez. When Marshall meets a Cuban-born man from Atlanta, he is transfixed by the conviction that this is the man the universe has selected for him. The thrust of the story goes beyond boy-meets/loses/gets-boy to an exploration of said boy coming to terms with his definition of self. In a pivotal span of six months, the book explores Marshall's obsessions with seeing and how they define his vision of reality, the emphasis placed on beauty in gay culture, the tentative beginnings of a relationship as it takes root and grows, and finally, the inexplicable, magical forces that direct our romantic destinies.

El or��culo griego en la ��poca de la producibilidad escrita: la crisis de la autoridad m��ntica en "Aves" (960-996) de Arist��fanes

Este art��culo se propone analizar la escena del cresm��logo intruso en Aves, revalorizando la comedia aristof��nica como fuente de conocimiento hist��rico. Este an��lisis se centra en la pr��ctica oracular como una t��cnica de producci��n escrita vinculada a la autoridad religiosa. De esta manera, se exploran dos campos de estudios, como la comedia antigua y la adivinaci��n griega, cuyo v��nculo no ha sido explorado en profundidad. Para dar cuenta del momento cr��tico de la instituci��n oracular durante la Guerra del Peloponeso, se reconstruyen perspectivas sobre dicho fen��meno en otras fuentes como Tuc��dides o Dem��stenes. Esto no solo ofrece una mirada ��c��mica�� sobre la adivinaci��n, sino que tambi��n permite comprender la pr��ctica oracular como t��cnica y, en consecuencia, qu�� elementos de su funcionamiento pod��an ser manipulados.

The magical transformation contest in the ancient storytelling tradition

El concurso de transformaci��n m��gica, esquema narrativo difundido en la tradici��n popular, se presenta en dos variantes principales: los hechiceros que compiten pueden metamorfosearse en varios seres o crear esos seres por medios m��gicos. En cualquier caso el concursante ganador da a luz criaturas m��s fuertes que superan las de su oponente. La segunda variante fue preferida en el antiguo Cercano Oriente (Sumeria, Egipto, Israel). La primera se puede encontrar en algunos mitos griegos sobre cambiadores de forma (por ejemplo, Zeus y N��mesis). El mismo esquema narrativo puede haber influido en un episodio de la Novela de Alejandro (1.36-38), en el que Dar��o env��a regalos simb��licos a Alejandro y los dos monarcas enemigos ofrecen contrastantes explicaciones de ellos. Esta historia griega racionaliza el concurso de cuento de hadas, transfiriendo las fant��sticas haza��as de creaciones milagrosas a un plano secundario pero realista de met��fora ling����stica.

Quintus Curtius before his sources: the episode of Alexander and the Scythians on the Tanais

Quintus Curtius found in his sources a speech where a Scythian censured Alexander, followed by the King���s reply. Curtius drastically abridged this second discourse in order to highlight the criticism of the Macedonian. The Scythian���s words have a striking rhetorical language and some allusions taken from Greek literature, in addition to possible indirect references to Caligula. Curtius declares that he follows his source word-for-word aiming to justify these inconsistencies, but also trying to hide the manipulations he has done to achieve his own narrative purposes.

"Sub Tiberio quies"? Judaea���s Political Situation under the Prefects (6-41 c.e.), between Reality and Ideology

Deeply conflicting views on the political situation of Judaea under the Roman prefects (6-41 c.e.) have been offered. According to some scholars, this was a period of persistent political unrest and agitation, whilst according to a widespread view it was a quiescent period of political calm (reflected in Tacitus��� phrase sub Tiberio quies). The present article critically examines again the main available sources ���particularly Josephus, the canonical Gospels and Tacitus��� in order to offer a more reliable historical reconstruction. The conclusions drawn by this survey calls into question some widespread and insufficiently nuanced views on the period. This, in turn, allows a reflection on the non-epistemic factors which might contribute to explain the origin of such views.

El ritual en los "Textos de las Pir��mides": sintaxis, texto y significado

Este trabajo pretende explorar la dimensi��n ritual en los Textos de las Pir��mides, el corpus de literatura religiosa extensa m��s antiguo de la humanidad. La naturaleza variada de sus componentes textuales ha impedido que los egipt��logos comprendan en profundidad las complejidades de la colecci��n y los contextos originales en los que estos textos (ritos) aparecieron. La aplicaci��n de la teor��a del ritual, principalmente la aproximaci��n de la sintaxis ritual, ofrece a los investigadores un marco excelente de an��lisis e interpretaci��n del corpus, su estructura y funci��n. Sujeto a las reglas de la sintaxis ritual es posible exponer los m��ltiples niveles de significado en el corpus para la resurrecci��n y salvaci��n del difunto.

La fictohistoria o historiograf��a imaginaria en las literaturas rom��nicas desde el siglo XIX: ensayo de tipolog��a y panorama de un g��nero formal insospechado (II)

El doble aspecto documental y art��stico de la escritura de la historia ha quedado pr��cticamente oculto por la insistencia en el car��cter cient��fico de la disciplina y su expulsi��n subsiguiente del canon literario desde el siglo XIX. El cultivo de la historiograf��a ficticia o imaginaria (fictohistoria) surgi�� entonces como un modo de salvar la literariedad de la historia, en su calidad de g��nero formal, mediante el uso del discurso historiogr��fico como procedimiento ret��rico para conseguir un efecto de historicidad en textos que son, no obstante, claramente ficticios, y que tienen a menudo un car��cter sat��rico o admonitorio. Esto no est�� re��ido con el hecho de que la mayor��a manifieste en primer lugar una reflexi��n sobre el devenir de la humanidad, es decir, sobre la Historia. Los ejemplos de este g��nero son relativamente abundantes y se pueden clasificar en varias categor��as tem��ticas. Esta segunda parte del estudio se centra en la historia prospectiva.
