Rabid Rabbits, Mad Cats, and How Soap and Water Could Help Prevent Rabies
Home/Critters/Rabid Rabbits, Mad Cats, and How Soap and Water Could Help Prevent Rabies
A crazy bunny. Rabbits can get rabies too.
by James Hubbard, M.D., M.P.H.
Weird Fact: According to the CDC, in the United States, more cats than dogs were reported with rabies between 2000 and 2004. Did you know rabbits can get rabies too? That one's rare, but if you're outside, and out of nowhere a rabbit attacks, just know it could be a rabid rabbit.
Rabies is a virus spread through saliva that affects the brain and is a death sentence. I can count on my hands the worldwide total number to ever survive without getting the vaccine. The latest survival was a girl scratched by a feral cat. Somehow the saliva got into the wound.
Fortunately, though, the rabies vaccine works well. It's a series of shots you get after being bitten by an animal that prompt your body to produce antibodies to kill the virus. Without these immunizations giving your immune system a head start, it becomes overwhelmed by the rapidly multiplying virus.
Still, there are a few things you can do to decrease your odds of coming down with rabies in the first place.
Animals to Avoid
Cute little raccoons are the most-common carriers of rabies in the United States. And they don't always seem sick.
Before dogs were routinely vaccinated, they used to be the most common rabies carriers. They still are in most parts of the world, but, in the U.S., it's raccoons, bats, skunks, and foxes, in that order. Here's a list of animals that can get rabies, and what you should do if one bites you or if you come in contact with the saliva in any way.
The CDC recommends getting the rabies shots as soon as possible but considers it "urgent" and not an "emergency." To me, that means, if there's a disaster, don't risk life and limb to get immediate help. But you must try to get the shots started within a day—three tops.
There's been no known human-to-human transmission except through corneal and organ transplants. In a few rare cases, no one knew the donor had died of rabies—certainly a sign that rabies may be underdiagnosed as a cause of death.
What to Do Until You Can Get the Rabies Vaccine
No matter the setting, it's important that you wash the bite wounds quickly and thoroughly. Of course, this decreases your risk for bacterial infection, but it's also your best bet of cleaning away as much of the rabies virus as possible. The less of the virus there is on the wound, the better chance your body has of producing enough antibodies to kill what remains before it causes the disease.
Wash the wound with soap and water.
Use a little pressure from a faucet, plastic bag, or syringe to squirt the water deep into the wound. I have a video on this. The irrigation begins around the 1:40 time.
Next, wash the wound with povidine-iodine solution. If that's not available, use alcohol.
Unless the wound is gaping open, don't close it. Keep it open, and clean it once or twice a day. That rule goes for all bites and puncture wounds.
If it gets red or warm or has any other sign of bacterial infection, start antibiotics.
Hopefully you're up-to-date on your tetanus shot. The booster lasts 10 years.
Special Rabies Situations
Some rabid animals look sick; others are aggressive—the bite is unprovoked. That's not the case for rabid raccoons. Many people have been bitten by a seemingly healthy, docile raccoon that only bit after the person tried to capture or kill it, and the raccoon turned out to have rabies.
Bats have sharp, tiny teeth. You can be bitten by a bat without knowing it or even seeing a wound. If you come into physical contact with a bat, or if you, say, find a bat in your room and can't guarantee the bat hasn't bitten you because you've been asleep, you must get rabies shots. People have developed rabies in both of these scenarios.
Spelunkers are some of the rare people advised to get a set of pre-exposure rabies vaccines. They've been known to get rabies after being in bat-filled caves (we're talking thousands), even with no direct contact. Rabies is not carried in feces or urine, so it's hypothesized the cavers got it from the dense saliva carried in the air.
The Rabies Shots
One other thing. There used to be horror stories of how painful rabies shots were. I read that now, that's not the case.
Has anyone had the shots? Anyone have experience with rabies? Questions?

My son's friend was bit by a bat in the daytime, and had to get the series of rabies shots in his hand. This was approx. 3 years ago. They were very painful, and they had to be done in a certain succession (day-wise). I don't remember how many, but it was really quite an ordeal. I would say that the information above that they aren't painful anymore is probably inaccurate. :) Thank you for the information though, very handy!
James Hubbard, M.D., M.P.H.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing. Yes, it does sound like an ordeal.
Cindy long
Earlier this year, a woman died from rabies.She picked up a bat that was on the ground and was bitten. She did not feel the bat bite her,so she thought no more about it.She did not go to the dr,till a month later,when she was diagnosed with rabies.She was given the rabies shots but it was too late and she did later die.This happened in SC.
If you see a bat on the ground,its sick or it has rabies do not handle.
Thanks Cindy. Great advice.

I've gotten the vaccine, it was not that big of a deal and not horribly expensive. If I am exposed I still need post exposure vaccines. With rabies it's important to remember that all mammals can get it and it can have a multitude of signs in animals (we're taught it's the 'great pretender'). So your best bet is to stay away from animals acting strange… and don't eat them either.
An elderly woman here went for a swim last year and was attacked by a rabid beaver!

Shelly, that's scary. Hope she's ok now.
i dont cry (most of the time0
even though everybody in the comments is crying about how painfull these rabies shots are if you are bitten DO NOT HESITATE TO GET THE RABIE SHOTS!!! unless you want to die.

I recently saw a show about a bow hunter who was attacked by a pack of coyotes and had to get the rabies vaccine. (The show's called 'Fight to Survive', or something like that, and it's on either on the Outdoor Channel or the Sportsman's Channel. I don't remember which.) In the interview he said that the shots were extremely painful, and it was only a year or two ago when he was attacked.
In another show about scary diseases, and I have no idea what the title of this show was or what channel it was on, three organ recipients got rabies from the donor and died as a result. The donor had been acting crazy when he was brought into the hospital, but since he was a drug addict and had so many drugs in his system at the time of his death no one suspected rabies. Everyone assumed that he was acting crazy because of the drugs, and three people died because of it. The CDC's investigation showed that he had been bitten on the chest by a bat and never sought medical treatment after the bite. The scary thing is that, if I'm not mistaken, there's no way to test for rabies before an organ transplant. It takes too long, and by the time the results of the test would be available the organs would no longer be viable.
I found the first show. It's 'Fight to Survive' on the Outdoor Channel Mondays at 22:00.
Thanks for sharing, Jeremy.

Sweden on target to run entirely on renewable energy by 2040
Last year 57 per cent of Sweden's power came from renewables
Byindependent
Sweden is on target to run entirely on renewable energy within the next 25 years, a regulatory official has said.
Last year, 57 per cent of Sweden's power came from renewables such as hydropower and wind sources, with the remainder coming from nuclear power.
The country now plans to tap into its "large potential" for onshore wind power, in order to make the country completely fossil-free by 2040 – a goal set by Sweden's prime minister at the UN General Assembley last year.
"We are not densely populated, we have a lot of good places to put land-based large-scale wind and there is large potential for that in Sweden," Anne Vadasz Nilsson, Director General of the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate told Reuters on Monday. Sweden has steadily increased its output of wind power and as it becomes more cost efficent, wind energy is set to replace nuclear energy in the country's power system.
"Nuclear is quite an expensive energy source due to safety regulations and funding for long-term nuclear waste management among other things," said Ms Vadasz Nilsson.
"Renewables, meaning large-scale wind in Sweden, on the other hand, are cheaper and cheaper to commission and to run. This together with low wholesale prices will make it less likely that new nuclear power plants will replace the remaining ones when they are phased out due to old age."
Four of the country's 10 nuclear reactors are currently being phased out, she said, adding that the sparodic nature of wind power could be managed by teaming it with a combination of hydropower as well as interconnection with other countries.
See also: 5 Countries That Prove the World Doesn't Need Fossil Fuels
"The base load from our [current] hydropower plants and the high degree of interconnection with neighboring countries […] This together with a more developed market for demand-side response will safeguard capacity even on cold winter days when the wind is not blowing," said Ms Vadasz Nilsson.
The Nordic countries already lead the world in renewable energy. Denmark produced 140 per cent of its electricity needs through wind power alone in 2015, exporting the rest of the energy to its neighbors, Germany, Sweden and Norway.
While, almost 100 per cent of Iceland's electricity comes from renewable sources, due to its investment in hydropower and geothermal energy production.
In the latest bi-annual EY Renewable energy country attractiveness index (RECAI), released on Wednesday, European countries saw their positions improve, with France, Belgium, Sweden, Ireland, Norway and Finland all climbing the ranking.
The United Kingdom, however, bucked the trend of European improvement, falling to an all-time index low in 14th position. It is understood that the Brexit vote, the dismantling of the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) and approval of the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station all contributed to a loss of appeal in the eyes of investors.

Legal Mistakes That Cost Entrepreneurs Time, Money and Headaches…And How to Avoid Them
By Claudia Pollak, Esq., Updated October 19, 2020
Entrepreneurs must navigate through a maze of legal issues and decisions when launching a new business. At the outset, you may think some seem inconsequential – but this could be a mistake. The choices you make today will have a lasting effect on the viability and profitability of your new business venture. Below are some of the most common mistakes made by first-time entrepreneurs, and what you can do to avoid making them yourself.
Choosing the Wrong Business Structure
The type of business entity you select will affect your liability exposure, income tax obligations, and opportunities to raise capital throughout the duration of your venture. Sole proprietorships, C-corporations, S-corporations, and limited liability companies (LLC) all have their advantages and drawbacks. Sole proprietorships are simple to start up, but leave your personal assets vulnerable and offer a tax advantage in that no separate corporate tax is paid. C-corporations and S-corporations both shield the personal assets of the owners, but has different tax obligations. Additionally, maintaining the protection afforded by the corporate business structure requires a certain amount of record-keeping and filings with governmental agencies. LLCs offer liability protection and are often most appropriate for small businesses because of their tax-pass through nature.
The "Gentlemen's Agreement" – A Handshake and Your Word
Your word may be your honor, but a written contract is the only way to be sure all parties share a mutual understanding regarding their obligations. Whether it is your best client, that independent contractor you've been courting, or vendors you have known for years, do not assume everything will go according to plan. Putting your agreement in writing not only ensures that everyone's expectations are clear, but it is also valuable evidence in the courtroom, should things not proceed according to plan. Bottom line – get it in writing!
Adding Partners Without a Written Agreement
It's easy to sweep this one aside when you are passionately focused on the work of getting your business off the ground. And those new partners likely share your same passion. However, until a detailed written agreement is drafted and signed, you may be unclear about each other's expectations in the short term, or, if your business is wildly successful, tied up in protracted, long-term litigation, to establish who owns what (Facebook comes to mind). Redirect some of that passion, and benefit from the goodwill it creates, to negotiate the appropriate agreement early on that covers responsibilities, ownership structure, provisions for transferring ownership, and what happens when there's a disagreement about the direction of the company.
Failing to Protect Your Intellectual Property
Protect your business's most valuable asset, its intellectual property. Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind, including inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, and symbols, names, and images. Ensure that the founders transfer and assign any intellectual property to the company that they created prior to the company's incorporation. While generally, the company owns the intellectual property developed by its employees, because founders often do not enter into employment agreements with the company for their services, intellectual property developed by founders during the performance of their services after incorporation of the company may not be owned by the company. With respect to outside consultants, unless there is a written contract in place that transfers ownership, the consultant will own the intellectual property that is created. A new business should ensure that it enters into a written contract with its founders as well as its consultants and other third parties to transfer ownership of the rights to intellectual property to the company.

Niagara University Announces October 2022 Speaker Series – Oct. 12 – Dr. Kenyani Davis – Hughes Endowed Lecture in the Health Sciences
chcbnews
by LISA MCMAHON
Niagara University's October 2022 Speaker Series features Dr. Timothy Pawl, Dr. Kenyani Davis, Dr. Kevin Ahern, and NU alumnus Sam Goodwin, '12.
The experience of being unjustly detained in Syria, a discussion of how to develop virtue, an exploration of the social determinants of health that impact Niagara County, and the power and potential of student organizing are the featured topics during Niagara University's October Speaker Series. The presentations, which will take place each Wednesday at 5 p.m. in Dunleavy Hall Room 127 on the Niagara University campus, are free and open to the public.
The 2022 series kicks off on Oct. 5 with Timothy Pawl, Ph.D., professor of philosophy at the University of St. Thomas, who will give the Albert the Great Lecture, "The Cultivation of Virtue." Dr. Pawl will draw from Aristotelian philosophy, Vincentian theology, and contemporary psychology to provide an understanding of what virtue is and how best to form virtues in oneself.
Dr. Pawl holds a Ph.D. from Saint Louis University in philosophy, with specialization in the philosophy of religion, metaphysics, Thomistic philosophy, analytic theology, and moral psychology. He is the author of three books and more than 40 academic articles, and has been featured in a series of interviews for the PBS show "Closer to Truth."
The Albert the Great Lecture is presented by the Niagara University philosophy department and named for Albertus Magnus, who is most famous for the influence he had as the instructor of St. Thomas Aquinas, the cornerstone of the Catholic intellectual tradition.
The series continues on Oct. 12 with Dr. Kenyani Davis, chief medical officer of the Community Health Center of Buffalo, Inc., who will give the Hughes Endowed Lecture in the Health Sciences. Her presentation, "Servant Community Medicine: A Journey of Trust, Resiliency and Renewal," will discuss CHCB, Inc.'s efforts to provide continuous care to underserved patients of color in the face of inequity and systemic racism during the COVID-19 pandemic, through the lens of the organization's Fight for Good initiative. She will also explore the social determinants of health that impact Niagara County and ultimately lead to poor health outcomes.
In her role at the CHCB, Inc., a Federally Qualified Health Center serving over 20,000 patients annually in Erie and Niagara counties, Dr. Davis provides quality medical care to patients and leads clinical operations for the organization's Buffalo, Cheektowaga, Lockport, and Niagara Falls health-care facilities.
The Niagara University Hughes Endowed Lectureship in the Health Sciences was established with an endowment created by the late Dr. John Hughes, an accomplished radiologist who graduated from Niagara University in 1967. The lectureship recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the health sciences or to healthcare and provides an academic forum to address topics of importance in contemporary healthcare.
On Oct. 19, Kevin Ahern, Ph.D., associate professor of religious studies at Manhattan College, will present the McNulty Lecture, "From Spectators to Protagonists: Student Organizing for Social and Ecclesial Change." Drawing from more than 20 years of engagement and research with student movements worldwide, Dr. Ahern will highlight the power and potential of college students in transforming the world and the church, taking stock of their specific role and responsibility in the face of what the Catholic tradition describes as structures of sin, such as racism, ecological destruction, and war.
Dr. Ahern is a public theologian, educator, and organizer, as well as an award-winning author, focusing on the intersections of Catholic social ethics, ecclesiology, and peace studies.
The McNulty Lecture Series, sponsored by Niagara University's religious studies department, is devoted to questions of faith in the contemporary world, especially the topics of social justice and interreligious dialogue. The series was established by the late Rev. Thomas P. McGourty, C.M., a professor of religious studies at NU, in memory of his late aunt and uncle.
The series wraps up on Oct. 26, when Niagara University alumnus Sam Goodwin, '12, returns to his alma mater to present the Peggy and John Day University Honors Lecture. Goodwin will talk about the nine weeks in 2019 that he spent imprisoned in Syria, including solitary confinement, a sham trial, blindfolded interrogations and, ultimately, a dramatic release. His presentation, "Winning Through Uncertainty," will focus on how he embraced uncertainty during this time and the efforts it took to survive captivity.
Goodwin earned his B.A. in communication studies and French from Niagara University. He was also a member of the NU Division 1 men's hockey team. He has played and coached hockey in destinations like India, Turkmenistan, and North Korea, and moved to Singapore in 2012 to help launch a tech startup business and regional NGO. He has subsequently led humanitarian efforts across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. From 2010-2019, Goodwin traveled to all 193 United Nations' sovereign countries.
The Peggy and John Day University Honors Lecture Series was established through a gift from Margaret Ranft, '77, and John Day.

This is not the first time we've been experimenting with user interface for fitness apps. You probably remember our Eat Fit iOS animation for an activity tracking app inspired by Google Fit.
We believe animations add a lot of motion to sports and fitness apps encouraging people to pull on their running shoes for fitness exercises. Our UI concept designed by Anton Kosolapov pictures an activity tracking app that synchronizes with fitness trackers, bracelets, or smart watches and lets you see a timeline and charts that display your daily activities.
We thought this concept would help other fitness app developers make their app's UI more intuitive, fun, and engaging. We called our component FitTrack, a compound from fitness tracking, and we're contributing this animation to the open source.
In this article, we will tell you how you can use the FitTrack app component in your own project. And then, we will look under the hood to see what parts this animation consists of.
Where animationImage is a picture that will be glued together.
What's under the hood of the animation?
ZoomStartupAnimationis a class responsible for the launch animation (the heart).
AnimationView (Animations extension) is a class that counts the initial size and positions of the buttons. It is also an extension that contains a variety of animations.
ActivityContainerViewis a class-container that contains activities and animations while one activity is changing for another one.
Excited to create something outstanding?

Q: delete special characters from a text file after the first element in r I am trying to read a text file using read.table() in R. R does not read anything that follows a #.  However, there are pound symbols in the text that have nothing to do with the comments.  I want to delete the unwanted # symbols without adding the comments to the data frame.
Fortunately, all of the pound symbols that I want to keep are in the first element of each row.  So basically I need to delete all # symbols that are not in the first element of the row.
2018-08-14 00:00:42 102.18.18.2
2018-08-15 00:00:47 223.45.67.8

2018-08-15 00:00:49 122.45.#67.9

I want to keep the pound symbol in the first line and delete the pound symbol in the last line that is causing problems in the data frame.

A: You can do it using a feature in Regular Expression knows as capture groups.
Just open your file in an editor which supports finding text using RegEx, such as VS Code.
In the Find box, write: (.+)(#)
In the replace box, write: $1
Clicking Replace all should remove all your # characters in between texts.
Alternatively, you could also write a script to do this.

A: Here's a possible pure R solution:
MWE
First let's make your problem a full MWE (https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve):

I wrapped each line with () so you can see the out put.  In real application I wouldn't include them.
The magic happens with gsub('(?<!^)#', '', x, perl = TRUE) line.  It uses a Negative Lookbehind (https://www.regular-expressions.info/lookaround.html) of (?<!^)# and can be read as:

*

*# (any pound sign) BUT

*? (what) < (comes before)

*! (is not)

*^ (the begininning of the line)

Let's have a look at some of the new and exciting young cricketers who will be showcasing their talents during PSL 2019.
Pakistan Super League (PSL) has been known for unearthing hidden gems and introducing some quality young players.
The likes of Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Nawaz are the products of the biggest cricketing league of Pakistan and it continues to promote the young cricketers.
Those who regularly watch PSL would be well-aware of this prodigy. Having already played the 2018 edition of PSL for Peshawar Zalmi, Ibtisam knows the game pressure all too well now and we can expect him to deliver even better this time around. The 20-year-old leg-spinner took 5 wickets in 4 PSL games with a best of 3/20, showcasing enough skill to slot into the Zalmi squad once again despite being released from the squad as an emerging player.
Peshawar Zalmi has a knack of introducing some brilliant young cricketers. Nabi Gul, 20, is another talented batsman who got the attention of the cricket gurus with his match-winning 138 in the fourth innings of his debut first-class match against Islamabad while chasing 374.
The explosive left-handed batsman can prove to be Islamabad United's trump card in PSL 2019 thanks to his six-hitting prowess. Already dubbed as Pakistan's Chris Gayle, the 22-year-old rose to prominence in the National T20 Cup 2018 for his 311 runs in 7 innings at an average of 51.83, becoming the second highest run-scorer in the tournament, helping his team, Lahore Blues, cruise to the title.
Nasir Nawaz is another impressive six-hitting top order batsman. Hailing from South Waziristan, the 20-year-old emerging star has been playing the National T20 Cup for Rawalpindi for the past two years. It remains to be seen how he copes with the big match pressure, provided he gets a chance.
Another teenager in Islamabad United's ranks, Muhammad Musa impressed at the Under 19 Cricket World Cup 2018 and he is all pumped up for a solid start to his PSL career. The right arm medium pacer last played for Pakistan Emerging team at the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Emerging Teams Cup, Colombo in December 2018.
Abrar Ahmed impressed the Karachi Kings selectors during a talent hunt program due to his impressive leg-spinning abilities. The right arm spinner hasn't played any first-class cricket, he has been lauded as a brilliant inclusion to the Karachi Kings squad.
Jaahid Ali is a 23-year-old right-handed top order batsman who has already featured in the Pakistan A side. He is a proper batsman with the right temperament to play big innings, however, he is yet to prove his mettle in the shortest form of the game.
Ali Imran has played for the Pakistan Emerging Team at the ACC Emerging Teams Cup in December 2018. Dubbed as an impressive all-rounder, there will be eyes on the emerging player as PSL provides the opportunity to play directly for Pakistan, as well as opening other avenues for cricketers.
Harris Rauf was picked by Lahore Qalandars during their rising stars talent hunt campaign. He was later included in the players' development programme and has already played for the franchise in the Emirates T20 league, playing a crucial role in his team's triumph with his extreme pace and brilliant yorkers.
Lahore Qalandars have found a promising talent, who is a brilliant wicket-keeper to go with some good batting skills. He has played for Pakistan Under 19 team as well and it would be interesting to see him play.
Gauhar Ali is another talented batsman with the ability to keep the wickets who was picked by Lahore Qalandars as a Supplementary pick.
Muhammad Imran is another young cricketer who made his way to the Qalandars squad through a talent hunt programme. His all-round abilities will come in handy for the Qalandars, provided he gets an opportunity.
Naseem Shah is a fierce teenage fast bowler who has a knack of bowling hostile spells at extreme pace. Quetta Gladiators signed 15-year-old in the emerging category and he has the ability to disrupt any batting line-up, even at such a young age.
Ahsan Ali boasts a career strike rate of 125.73 in T20 format with a career-best of 85. The 25-year-old adds flavor to the already strong batting line of Quetta Gladiators.
Ghulam Mudassar is a left arm pacer who has already played for Lahore Qalandars and Sylhet Sixers in PSL and Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). He is only 19 and can easily get into the playing XI for the Gladiators.
Multan Sultans will be buoyed by the signing of the prodigy, who can fit right into the playing XI, filling in for the role of compulsory emerging player quota. Muhammad Ilyas recently took a hat-trick against Hong Kong, taking 5-35.
Ali Shafiq is a brilliant young fast bowler who boasts an average of 14.96, taking 59 wickets in 14 matches with best bowling figures of 8/70. Multan Sultans have been keeping an eye on the local talent and this signing can prove to be an excellent move.
Who do you think has the ability to make it to the Pakistan team for the World Cup 2019? Let us know in the comments section.
Kindly Bring this All Talent in AUS VS PAK Series at UAE Before WC 2019.

Earlier this year a friend introduced me to Groupmuse. It's "an online social network that connects young classical musicians to local audiences through concert house parties".
After you register for a free account, you can RSVP to attend a Groupmuse. If the host accepts your RSVP Groupmuse will charge you $3 (think of it as a reasonable convenience fee). Then once at the event, you will be encouraged to donate $10. 100% of your donation will go to the musician(s). The host does not make any money from hosting a Groupmuse.
The event format is straightforward. Arrive at the hosts home, socialize with the other attendees (typically 15-30), and then enjoy 60-80 minutes of music (broken up by an intermission). I've found the hosts to be hospitable, the musicians superb, and the other attendees friendly and diverse (it's not just a room full of musicians).
I have a vivid memory from this performance. A few seconds into their first song, the cellist's cello case tips over and falls on her. Only slightly fazed, she doesn't stop playing and the music continues. By the end of the piece it was as if nothing had happened. And by the end of the performance most of the audience had forgotten that it even happened.
Musicians have a high standard for live performances. No matter what the issue (equipment failure, stand with sheet music tips over, string breaks) you keep playing. In the face of adversity, keep playing. Because in the end no one remembers the challenge you faced, they remember the music. And if you don't make it seem like a big deal, then the audience may not even notice.
As a musician it's a standard I've held when I've performed live. And I've been trying to apply it in other facets of my life. For example at work, in those moments when things seem to be falling apart (the cello case is falling on me), I stay the course and keep playing. I don't stop the performance seeking acknowledgement for the predicament I'm in. My colleagues saw the case fall, they know it's hard. They don't need me to tell them that, they are their to hear the music.
Don't make excuses when things get hard. We know your situation is hard, because in some variant so is ours. Instead of reminding us, just keep playing.

Elite Traveler – ET Insider – May 4, 2010
ET Insider – May 4, 2010
Elite Traveler Insider –
Elite Traveler Insider
Welcome to the latest issue of Elite Traveler Insider, the bi-weekly newsletter designed to update our top partners on trends in the private jet lifestyle. This information is provided to offer a better understanding of how to target these globetrotting elite travelers, their impact on your business and other trends that affect you. Remember, private jet travelers are paying up to $10,000 per hour to fly by private jet, so these super rich consumers could be and should be your best customer. We talk about them and how you can get more of them and more from them.
1. Spotting Fakes . . . In Publishing
2. Elite Traveler Delivers Again: Another Testimonial
3. The $53,000 Bottle of Dom (and $16,000 Tip)
4. Private Jet Travel Sees Strong Growth in New York
Not another magazine or newspaper in that stack of unread mail: With over six private jet trips every two months, that's at least six chances for wealthy private jet travelers to see your advertisement in Elite Traveler. And even better, share it with friends on the jet!
We all know all the reason fakes are wrong in luxury goods, be it handbags, wallets or watches. But publishing has its own fakers.
Who are they? Well, anybody can call you up, set a meeting and tell you they (spend the money to) print tens or hundreds of thousands of copies of their "magazine" and where the magazine is going.
To ensure that what the publisher is claiming is not "fake", there are two organizations that audit publisher's circulation, ABC and BPA. The annual membership fee is hardly a large sum of money: $10,000, so for a publisher who is printing and claiming they are circulating a given "number" of magazines, their claim can be verified by a third party.
Both ABC and BPA rigorously review records of the printer's invoices and print orders, to ensure the copies that are claimed are printed. They even review postal receipts, and forms of payment to ensure that the copies were printed and sent out. ABC / BPA auditors further verify the circulation lists by contacting "subscribers" or "distributors" randomly pulled on an nth name basis to ensure they had either requested or paid for the magazines they are receiving and they indeed wanted the magazine, or were distributing it the way they say are. Publishers have to keep significant, detailed records to enable the audits.
Elite Traveler goes even further in terms of providing accountability. On our BPA audit statement we actually breakout in detail who is receiving Elite Traveler by category – private jets and private jet terminals, first class lounges, pro sports team locker facilities, yacht marinas, etc.
What this means is when we say we reach wealthy consumers who fly by private jet worldwide, in over 100 countries, you don't have to take our word for it. It is a claim that has been audited and verified by a third party – in our case, by BPA.
Just as you don't want fakes in your industry, fakes in the publishing industry only muddy the market and their unsubstantiated claims simply undermine publishers who are truly giving you what they say they are.
As Elite Traveler gets ready to celebrate our 10th anniversary, we have seen "the fakes" come, and we have seen them go. Over the years there has been a stream of wannabes who claim private jet distribution.
The fact is not a single one of these pretenders has been audited. Except for Elite Traveler, today there is not a single audited publication that specifically audits and shows copies distributed on private jets and in private jet terminals.
So next time a publisher claims to have circulation on private jets, with the goal of having you spend your ad dollars with them there is simple way to verify their claims. Simply ask them to show you their Circulation Audit and then ask them to show you on the audit the number of copies distributed on private jets. Then ask them to come back when they can prove they are giving you what they say and not just a siren's song on sales talk.
With 41 trips per year, including 11 intercontinental trips and 3+ principal residences, we know where you'll find elite travelers: in their private jets and in private jet terminals. It's why we've invested in providing BPA audited circulation to private jets and private jet terminals in over 100 countries.
The Right Reader. An Engaged Reader. A Reader Who Has Money to Be a Good Customer for You…
Dear Doug,
From the Ranch:
We just got this great booking (for The Ranch at Rock Creek) out of Elite Traveler. A couple flying in their personal jet saw the ad and decided to make a pit stop in Montana to check us out. He is a CEO of a large corporation and will book us for a buddy trip, another trip with his girlfriend as well as an executive retreat. They also ended up spending a great deal on reserve wines and in our Mercantile
JoAnn Kurtz-Ahlers President Kurtz-Ahlers & Assoc., L.L.C.
Spotting Fakes: How can you be sure that a publisher is really sending out the number of copies he or she says? How can you make sure they are actually putting copies on private jets? Ask for the BPA or ABC audit statement. You can find our BPA statement here.
The U.K. is the second largest market for Elite Traveler in terms of circulation, so this recent news item from the London press caught my eye:
"What is an enviable annual salary for most was a bar tab for six on a recent evening at The Westbury Hotel's Polo Bar when a mystery 'Russian billionaire' plunked down $53,000 for a Methuselah of Dom Perignon Rose Gold 1996 and then rewarded the barman for the bubbly with a $16,000 tip, on top of the obligatory service charge of more than $6600! The total tab was in excess of $76,000, a whopping more than $2,375 per glass (a Methuselah is the equivalent of 8 regular bottles of Champagne).
"While some other rare bottles of Champagne have sold at auction for higher amounts, the $53,000 bottle of Dom is the most expensive ever sold in a British bar. In fact, the posh Polo Bar is one of only three in Britain that carries the pricey iteration, known as the 'King of Champagnes,' appropriately housed in a rose gold plated metal casing. Only 35 bottles are produced annually, made with grapes from specially selected vineyards from the best Grand Crus and stored for 12 years before being bottled. And the 1996 is considered especially fine, noted for its maturity and richness of character."
With BPA audited circulation aboard private jets and in private jet terminals in over 100 countries, I think the above once again shows that you never know where your next best customer will be, but you can be sure Elite Traveler will be with him or her!
Would you buy a diamond without a certificate? Would you fly on a plane that hadn't been certified as safe to fly? Would you buy milk in the supermarket that didn't have a 'sell by' date? Before you buy advertising, next time a publisher says they have distribution on private jets or in private jet terminals, ask for their Circulation statement from ABC or BPA. Ask for them to show you the number of copies going to private jet travelers. You can find our BPA statement here.
A story last week in The Wall Street Journal noted "private jets are taking off again." Specifically, the piece reported, "Traffic at Greater New York's two main hubs for private-jet travel is surging in recent months."
According to The Wall Street Journal, "Takeoffs and landings at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey rose 17% in March compared with the same month last year. . . Westchester County Airport in White Plains, N.Y., also reported brisker business. The airport uses fuel sales to track traffic trends. In March, fuel sales to corporate planes rose 9% compared with last March."
The piece continued, "Nationally, private-jet traffic was up 8.5% year-over-year in March, according to data provided by Aviation Research Group/U.S. "The pace of business is faster than the airlines move these days," said Jeff Lee, director of the Westchester Aviation Association. Mr. Lee referred to route cuts by commercial airlines that have left many small airports with few or no regular flights in and out.
Steve Brown, a senior vice president at the National Business Aviation Association who sits on a Teterboro advisory board, said the airport first started seeing traffic increase in September thanks to two big events: tennis's U.S. Open and Fashion Week.
In a final note that shows we probably won't run into many auto executives at commercial airline terminals, the Journal noted, "Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Co. announced plans to sell their fleets-though Ford said in a filing last month that it has yet to do so."

Have tips for fishing the Gunpowder? Share them with other MDTU members here.
Gunpowder Mini-Report for 09/06/13: Water levels are still low -30 cfs- and clear. Water temps swinging from 50 to 57 degrees or so. Tricos, small caddis, and small terrestrials seem to be working well Theaux at Backwater says the low water pushes a lot of little, young of the year, fish out into the open where they are followed by big browns. So expect to catch some little fish but to also have the opportunity for something more sizable. Streamers that imitate little fish might be the ticket!
Gunpowder Mini-Report for 08/30/13: Gunpowder is running very low (30 cfs) and very clear. Great time to wet wade. With all the exposed gravel bars you could fish a lot of the river and never get your feet wet! Small terrestrials are still working along the meadows and caddis in slower water. The first leaves of fall are hitting the river so be prepared for the maple hatch!
Gunpowder Mini Report for 09/13/13: River continues to run low and clear with water temps warming to 57/58 degrees in the afternoon. Early leaf fall is producing some annoyances but leaves have yet to inundate. Small tricos, size 20 and 22, are working well above Falls Road early in the morning. Small midges are working well too. Below Falls Road fishers have been catching trout on wooly buggers early in the day. The weather looks like it will be absolutely great this weekend. Cooler temps may keep the tuber hatch down!
Thank to folks at Great Feathers fly shop in Sparks for contributing to this bulletin.
Gunpowder Mini Report for 09/19/13: Tricos are here!!! The trico hatch and spinner falls have been kicking in. On a recent guide trip on the upper river, Robby (from Great Feathers) and his client experienced a great spinner fall. The fish were hitting on male spinners from size 18 through 22. The pattern was an indicator parachute trico. The activity was great and there were plenty of fish!
With the trico spinner falls, the bugs are responding to temperature when they are beginning to descend. The reason this is important is for timing and getting it right. With colder overnight temps, the fall will begin later and if it is warmer, they will begin sooner. Depending where you are on the river, be aware of the topography, or natural features, which will also affect the timing. If you are in one of the deeper "canyon" sections, the sun may take longer to warm the tree tops and so the fall may be later than in an area that has fewer features, like a flat flood plain. Regardless, plan on the fall being between 10 in the morning and concluding around 2 in the afternoon.
I just read your post and i got it fine and useful keep on posting for more updates.


UKIP has done very well in the English local elections from the results declared overnight, currently sitting on +20 councillors. The Conservatives and Lib Dems have also made gains whilst Labour have taken a drubbing so far.
The UKIP group on Thurrock Council has grown by 6 councillors, bringing the party level with the Conservatives on 17 seats each. The UKIP group is in talks with the Conservative group to enter into a coalition.
UKIP has gained 4 seats on Great Yarmouth Borough Council to become the second largest group. The Conservatives have 14 seats, UKIP have 12 and Labour have 11 with 2 independents making up the difference.
The Conservatives have retained control of Tamworth but now have two UKIP councillors in opposition.
UKIP and the Conservatives have helped take Dudley out of overall control by the Labour Party with UKIP gaining one seat and the Conservatives gaining two. UKIP theoretically holds the balance of power but the Tories have said they would rather form a coalition with Labour than come to an agreement with UKIP. It's something of a moot point anyway as Dudley UKIP is disinclined to do a deal with anyone.
Only constituency seats (34 of 40) have been declared in Wales so far, none of which have gone to UKIP. The regional seats are where UKIP is predicted to make a breakthrough. UKIP has taken 13.3% of the constituency vote which, if reflected in the regional vote, could translate into 5 or 6 seats for UKIP based on the Lib Dems' 4 seats for 8% of the vote in 2011.
There have been no gains for UKIP in Scotland yet and counting has yet to start in London and Northern Ireland.


*Started about 10 minutes into the countdown and ended at the New Year . At the end, thousands upon thousands of balloons dropped from the ceiling.**First time played. #With the Boston Community Choir.
This New Years run isn't bad per se, but when I listen to the shows I can totally see why they needed to go to Europe and "reinvent themselves" or whatever. They are still playing well and having a good time, but there's kind of this "now what?" feeling to the music.
This is honestly my least favorite of all the NYE shows. The improvisational highlights are the Stash and the Simple. The rest of the show features really high-energy playing from the band, but nothing too unique. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The Bohemian Rhapsody is very very cool though.
I concur on '96. Except my memory of Bohemian Rhapsody isn't nearly as good. I taped that show off the radio, and was hoping for a much different show than what I got. I listened a couple times, but really wasn't into it. Maybe I wasn't that into the band at the time, I dunno. I don't think I saw any shows between Clifford Ball & The Great Went. I was still really proud to be a fan of this incredible band ... but musically they were getting a little stale at that point.

position the energy with which he prosecuted lawbreakers had a
gratifying effect in bringing about a more desirable condition, and his
record in office was such that in 1886 he was elected Delegate to Con-
gress. Having served four terms, he refused the nomination in 1895,
but at the next election w y as a candidate and was elected the two suc-
ceeding terms. In all he served sixteen years as Delegate from the
Territory, and through his influence various acts of much benefit to
Arizona were passed by Congress, and he was instrumental in procur-
ing numerous federal appropriations for public buildings, irrigation
projects and other improvements. Senator Smith was one of the first
to advocate the reclamation of arid lands by the government, and
aided in drafting the Reclamation Act. He was also one of the
original advocates of single Statehood for Arizona, and for the con-
summation of this purpose fought earnestly for more than twenty
years. Senator Smith was a powerful influence in drafting the State
Constitution, in which many of his ideas were incorporated, and
having accomplished so much for the best interests of Arizona during
Territorial days, with the coming of Statehood, as a reward for his
long service in behalf of his constituents, he was chosen to his present
position to be one of the first Senators from the State of Arizona. As
Senator, he has continued his work in behalf of Arizona and is the
father of various measures in the interests of the State. Mr. Smith's
home is at Tucson, where he engages in the practice of his profession

HEXRY F. ASHURST, United States Senator from Arizona, who
drew the long term at the first State election, was elected without an
opposition vote. He is a native of Nevada, and a typical westerner,
and has lived since early youth in Arizona. When he had barely
attained his majority he was elected to the 20th Legislature, and
chosen Speaker of the House, and was counted a fair and capable offi-
cial and an excellent parliamentarian. He was sponsor of the bill
which gave the Normal School to Flagstaff, and was especially active
in behalf of laws beneficial to labor interests. By profession Mr.
WHO S WHO IN ARIZONA
Ashurst is a lawyer, and has made a specialty of criminal law, but his
occupations have been varied, and he has had training in practically all
the industrial pursuits, and is as well versed on general conditions in
Arizona as any man in the State. Senator Ashurst was admitted to
practice by the Supreme Court of Arizona in 1897, and by the Su-
preme Court of the United States in 1908, having meantime entered
the Law Department of the University of Michigan, where he took
special lectures in law and political economy. In 1902 he was elected
to the Territorial Council of Arizona, in 1904 was elected District
Attorney of Coconino County, and two years later re-elected. After
the expiration of the latter term he engaged in private practice, and
\vas employed in various important litigations. He was one of the
most earnest workers for Statehood for Arizona, and active in the cam-
paign for the progressive Constitution under which Statehood was
granted. He was elected from Coconino County, and despite the fact
that he is one of the youngest men ever elected to the United States
Senate, he has been a hard worker, and has w r on the sincere approval
of his constituents. Senator Ashurst has labored during his entire
career for the advancement of measures for the development of Ari-
zona and its resources, and has given special attention to the matter of
having lands set apart for the upbuilding of the public school system.
He has also been a staunch advocate of laws for industrial improve-
ment or the benefit of the working classes, his policy being the develop-
ment of the citizen first, and property next. Since taking his seat in
the United States Senate Senator Ashurst has continued his fight for
progressive legislation, and as a member of various important commit-
tees, his work has been very effective. He was a prominent figure in
the campaign of 1912, in behalf of Wood row Wilson. As a public
speaker Senator Ashurst has acquired a wide reputation, as he is
rated among the most powerful orators of the country, and his excep-
tional gift in this respect has won for him tremendous popularity both
in Arizona and in his capacity as the State's representative in the
Upper House of Congress. Senator Ashurst was married in 1904 to
Miss Elizabeth L. Reno, of Flagstaff.
CARL HAYDEX, first Congressman from the State of Arizona, is a
native of the State, having been born at Tempe, Maricopa County,
October 22, 1877. His father, Charles Trumbull Hayden, was rear-
ed and educated in Connecticut, and was recognized as a striking ex-
ample of New England's best citizenship, who arrived in Arizona
about the time of the close of the Civil War, and was known as the
founder of Tempe, and his mother was Sallie Calvert Davis, origin-
ally of Arkansas. Carl Hayden was educated in the public schools of
Tempe, Tempe Normal and Leland Stanford Junior University, and
from the latter was graduated with honors. For a time he was en-
gaged in business with his father as manager of the firm of C. T.
Hayden Company, in which capacity he displayed the same sound
W H O ' S \V H O IX A R I 7 O X A 689
business judgment as characterized the methods of the firm. Coming
from a long line of progressive Democrats, Congressman Hayden is an
advanced type of this school, hut by no means a radical, and being
possessed of many of the substantial and enduring traits of his father,
a strong and genial personality and propensity for making friends,
early in life he became an important factor in Maricopa County poli-
tics. His first political office was treasurer of the county, to which he
was elected by an overwhelming majority. In 1904 he was elected
delegate to the National Convention, and in 1906 sheriff of Maricopa
County, to which office he was re-elected and served until Arizona
became a State. In December, 1911, he was elected to the Sixty-
second Congress by a large majority, and in November, 1912, when
re-elected Congressman, received the highest vote polled in the State.
Congressman Hayden was for a number of years associated with the
National Guard of Arizona and at the time of his resignation held
the rank of Major. He was an ardent and energetic worker in the
organization, and its present high state of efficiency is in a large
measure the result of his efforts. Mrs. Hayden, who was formerly
Miss Nan Downing, is, like her husband, a graduate of Stanford,
having taken an A. B. degree there in 1903. Their Arizona home at
the present time is in Phoenix.
JOHN JOSEPH BIRDNO, recently appointed by President Wilson Re-
ceiver of the United States Land Office, with headquarters at Phoenix,
is best known for the results he accomplished as Chairman of the
State Democratic Central Committee during the first State compaign,
when every candidate on the ticket was elected. During the entire
campaign his paper, The Graham Guardian, advocated the prin-
ciples of Democracy. He had the endorsement of the entire Democ-
lacy for the position, and was the only man seriously considered for
the place. Mr. Birdno was born in Logan, Utah, April 10, 1868.
He is the son of N. W. and Mary Farrell Birdno. Mr. Birdno, who
i> one of the most persistent workers for the development of Arizona's
resources, attended public school in Utah, but at the age of eight
years went into a print shop and has since remained in the business,
by means of which while supporting himself, he acquired his
education and by the time he was eighteen had qualified as a school
teacher. He removed to Arizona in 1884. At the time of his arrival
the Apache Indians were on the warpath and during the next few
years committed some of their worst crimes. Mr. Birdno taught
school for several years in Arizona, but in 1895 established 'The
Graham Guardian," now the leading newspaper of that section,
through whose columns he has argued incessantly for the upbuilding
of the great Gila Valley. A man of force and foresight, his editorials
have been an important factor in promoting the interests of the Valley.
Mr. Birdno has been prominent in political affairs since he reached his
majority and has taken a leading part for the Democratic party in
John Joseph Birdno
every campaign, state or local. He was appointed assessor of Graham
County and served in that capacity for ten years. In 1905 he in-
creased the assessments on mining properties several million dollars
and through his efforts the burden of taxation on the people was re-
duced fifty per cent. Governor Kibbey declared in his next report to
the Secretary of the Interior that Mr. Birdno was the only Assessor
in the Territory who was doing his duty. Upon him as Chairman of
the State Executive Committee devolved the necessity of directing the
party in the first State election, the result of which was one of the
most complete victories in the history of State politics. He is Presi-
dent of the Gila Valley Fair Association, and Director of the Bank of
Safford and the Graham County Chamber of Commerce, and one of
the leaders in development of the Gila Valley. On December 27,
1889, Mr. Birdno was married to Miss Ella May Johnson at Thatch-
er, Arizona, and to them have been born three daughters, Mildred
May, Blanche Elizabeth and Mary Lorraine.

CHARLES L. CUMMINGS., President of the First National Bank of
Tombstone, was born in Oxford, New York, in 1855, was educated
and passed the first twenty-five years of his life in his native State.
In 1880 he located in Tombstone and for the next four years was
employed by the Tombstone Mill & Mine Company, and for almost
four years succeeding this he was foreman of the water works at
Charleston. For a year he was engaged in the meat business in
Bisbee, but having lost everything by fire, he returned to Tombstone
and took up the burden of life under rather discouraging conditions,
but bravely overcame difficulties and was soon engaged in business
there on his own account. He became largely interested in stock-
raising and bought a half interest in a ranch in the Sulphur Springs
Valley. Later he acquired valuable mining interests in the Swiss-
helm mountains, and both these enterprises proved satisfying sources
of revenue. He subsequently became owner of the Tombstone
Pharmacy, on of the finest business holdings in the city during its
most flourishing days, and of varied interests in Tucson and Cali-
fornia. Mr. Cummings has been a life-long Republican, and has
been identified with all the important undertakings of the party. In
1894 he was elected by a large majority to the lower house of the
Legislature, and during his term made a notable record for service.
He was Chairman of the Stock Committee, member of several others,
and was especially active in preventing the passage of the bill dividing
Cochise County, a measure which was bitterly fought at this session.
He was also largely instrumental in preventing the passage of a
measure whose only purpose was to thrust directly upon the working-
man and other consumers the cost of cattle inspection, and had the
gratification of seeing his efforts rewarded by the placing of this cost
in the proper channels. In 1896 he was his party's candidate for
County Treasurer, and in 1898 was again nominated for the Assem-
bly, but was defeated with the party. He served one term as
Treasurer of Tombstone. Mr. Cummings is known over the entire
State as a man whose word is as good as his bond, and his wide inter-
ests give him a knowledge of general conditions w r hich is most valu-
able. Many of his friends have urged him to seek further honors un-
der the new state and thus round out his career, but he has refused to
become a candidate for office. As president of the First National Bank
Mr. Cummings has a recognized position in the State, this being one
of the small but exceedingly strong banks of Arizona. Its capital
stock is $25,000, surplus and undivided profits almost $24,000, while
its total resources are $236,000. T. R. Brandt, Cashier, has been
with the institution for many years, and among its Board of Directors
are some of the old reliable citizens and business men of Cochise
County. In addition to Mr. Cummings, the Board includes John
Slaughter, well known pioneer and cattleman, William Cowan and
August Baron, well known mining men of Tombstone.
Epes Randolph
EPES RANDOLPH, President of the Arizona Eastern R. R. Co. and
the Southern Pacific R. R. Co. of Mexico, was born in Lunenburg;
County, Virginia. His parents were also natives of Virginia, his
father, William Eston Randolph, having been born in Clarke Coun-
ty, and his mother, Sarah Lavinia Epes, in Lunenburg County.
Since 1876 Mr. Randolph has been almost continuously engaged in
railroad work in some of its phases. From that year until 1885 he
was in continuous service, during this time having served about half
a dozen companies, the principal ones of which w r ere the Alabama
Great Southern, the Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern, and the
Kentucky Central. His field of operation during this time was in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Texas and Old
Mexico, and his work was location, construction and maintenance.
He served as assistant, locating, resident and division engineer. In
1885 he was appointed chief engineer of the Kentucky Central R. R.,
with headquarters at Covington, Ky., and at the same time was
chief engineer of the Cincinnati Elevated Railway, Transfer &
Bridge Co., both of which were Huntington properties. With the
latter company his work consisted of the construction of a double
track railway, highway and footway bridge across the Ohio River,
and connecting the town of Covington with Cincinnati, while on the
Kentucky Central he was in charge of the maintenance, construction
and reconstruction work. Early in the year 1890, the Kentucky
Central having been sold to the Louisville & Nashville and the bridge
completed, Mr. Randolph was transferred to Lexington, as chief
engineer and superintendent of the Newport News & Mississippi
Valley Co., the Ohio & Big Sandy R. R. Co. and the Kentucky & S.
Atlantic R. R. Co., which position he held until 1891, and was then
transferred to Louisville as chief engineer and general superintendent
of the Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern and the Ohio Valley Compa-
nies, which were also Huntington properties. In 1894 he resigned
this position owing to ill health, and spent a year in the west doing
no work at all, except giving professional advice to companies which
he was serving as consulting engineer, a general practice in this line
having been built up by him during the previous ten years, in which
his clients consisted of railway companies and municipalities. This
work was mainly bridge construction foundation and superstructure,
and in this capacity he supervised the construction of the bridge
across the Ohio connecting Louisville with Jeffersonville, Ind., which
was built by a local company known as the East End Improvement
Co., and was sold upon completion to the Chesapeake & Ohio and
the Big Eour Companies. In 1895 he was made superintendent for
the Southern Pacific, in charge of its lines in Arizona and New
Mexico, and his headquarters were in Tucson. After six years in this
position he removed to Los Angeles to accept one as vice president
and general manager of the Los Angeles Ry. Co. and the Pacific
Electric Ry. Co., where for three years he remained locating, build-
ing and operating some 700 miles of electric line. Returning to
Tucson in the fall of 1904 he became president of the Gila Vallev,
Globe & Northern Ry. Co. and the Maricopa, Phoenix & Salt River
Valley R. R. Co. in Arizona and the Cananea, Yaqui River & Pa-
cific R. R. Co. in Mexico, all of which were Harriman properties.
In 1909, the latter having been absorbed by the S. P. of Mexico, Mr.
Randolph was elected vice president and general manager of the
company; and in February, 1910, the other two roads with which he
was associated having been merged into the Arizona Eastern R. R.
Co., he was elected to similar position in the new company, and the
following year he was elected president of both companies. In addi-
tion to his duties as president of these two companies, he is
president of the California Development Co., a large irrigation pro-
ject operating in the Colorado Desert in the State of California, and
in Lower California in the Republic of Mexico. The company now
irrigates some 250,000 acres of land and when the project is com-
pleted will irrigate 600,000 acres. The handling of this enterprise
involved the closing of a crevasse and turning the waters of the Colo-
rado River back into the original channel after the same had flowed
into Salton Sink for some two years and created a lake 50 miles in
length by 15 miles in width, maximum depth 100 feet. The Colo-
rado River at the point of the crevasse is 120 feet above sea level,
and the bottom of Salton basin 285 feet below sea level. Mr. Ran-
dolph was married in January, 1886, to Miss Eleanor Taylor, of
Winchester, Kentucky.
MAJOR CHARLES HINE, one of the best known railway executives
in America, is also among the youngest, having been born on March
15, 1867, at Vienna, Virginia, in which suburb of Washington, D. C.,
he still retains a residence. He spent his boyhood on a farm, gradu-
ated, 1885, from the Washington, D. C., High School, and entered
the employ of a contractor. In a competitive examination at Alex-
andria, Virginia, he won a cadetship and w r as graduated, 1891, from
the United States Military Academy, West Point, standing in the
middle of his class, but being first in tactics and in discipline. Grad-
uated from the Cincinnati Law School and admitted to bar 1893.
while serving as Lieutenant, United States Army. As cadet and as
officer acted as inspector-instructor at various encampments of State
militia. Resigned his commission as Lieutenant, 1895, and began
railway work as freight brakeman, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago &
St. Louis Railway (Big Four Route), with which company he re-
mained for four years in various capacities, to include that of train-
master of the Cincinnati-Indianapolis district. He has since been
employed by numerous railways and other corporations. In the
course of the career he has worked as brakeman, switchman, yard-
master, emergency conductor, chief clerk, train master, assistant su-
perintendent, right-of-way agent, general superintendent, and as vice

From July, 1908, to December, 1911, as organization expert of the
Union Pacific System Southern Pacific Company (Harriman Lines)
he originated and installed thereon a unit system of organization,
known in the railway world as "the Hine system." Major Hine,
under his full name, Charles DeLano Hine, is a magazine and edi-
torial writer, and in Virginia a farmer and real estate dealer. Author

Pacific Railroad of Mexico (West Coast Route), and of the Arizona
Eastern Railroad, both included in the Harriman system.
L. H. MAXNIXG, Tucson's most enterprising and public spirited
citizen, has for almost thirty years materially aided in furthering
every important project for the advancement of that city. Mr.
Manning was born in Halifax County, N. C., May 18, 1864, and is
the son of Honorable Van H. and Mary Wallace Manning. His
father served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and at
its close was Colonel of the Third Arkansas Regiment. The Man-
ning family for several generations lived in Mississippi, and for ten
years after the close of the war Colonel Manning represented the
Second Mississippi Congressional district in the lower house of Con-
gress. He was also an attorney of great prominence in the state. L.
H. Manning completed his education at the University of Missis-
sippi, and in 1884 came to Arizona and located in Tucson. On his
arrival he took up newspaper work, and served as reporter on both
the "Citizen" and the "Star." For two years he was general man-

\V H O S WHO
atrer of the Ice <Sc Electric Company. Later he entered upon a
career of mining and engaged in the handling of real estate. His
mining operations comprise holdings in several districts in Arizona
and extend into old Mexico, and in both places he has conducted
heavy operations. During President Cleveland's first administra-
tion Mr. Manning was chief of the Mineral Department in the
office of the United States Survey, and in 1893, at the beginning of
President Cleveland's second term, he was appointed Surveyor-Gen-
eral of the same office, which position he held for four years, then
resigned owing to the demands of his personal business. For some
time he devoted the greater part of his attention to the opening of
mines in Sonora, Mexico. In 1900 he purchased the general mer-
chandise business of the old Tucson firm of Norton & Drake, which
was re-organized and has since been known as the L. H. Manning
Company, of which he is president and manager. He has also in-
vested heavily in real estate and is one of the largest property holders
in Tucson. In 1905 he was elected Mayor of Tucson by an over-
whelming majority on what was known as an anti-gambling ticket.
Immediately after he assumed the office of Mayor there began in the
city a crusade against open gambling, for while the laws of the terri-
tory at the time did not prohibit gambling, the cities were endowed
with such powers as enabled them to pass ordinances on the subject,
and the ordinances regulating gambling which were passed in Tuc-
son during the administration of Mayor Manning and rigidly en-
forced were so drastic that the gambling horses could not carry the
load and were compelled to get out of business. When the next ter-
ritorial legislature convened it passed laws making it easier for cities
to elevate their standard in this respect and other towns followed the
precedent established in Tucson during Mayor Manning's adminis-
tration two years previously, which had resulted in such eminent sat-
isfaction to all the better element. Some years ago he assumed con-
trol of the old street car company, then using horse cars, and of the
gas and electric company, re-organized both and turned them over to
a syndicate which installed electric power for the street car system,
and later sold both to the present owners. The Santa Rita Hotel,
the most modern and best building of its kind in the southwest, is
also a product of Mr. Manning's foresight and enterprise. In 1904,

However, intranet stakeholders will need more than good words about the benefits. They need to see the case for investing in it as well. That means making a financial case based on measurable benefits. Having a well-managed intranet helps make it easier to identify and measure the benefits.
It seems to be the larger the amount of benefits, the more difficult it is to measure accurately and to a level of confidence, that can convince your stakeholders! The best chance of succeeding is to determine the method that will be most effective for measuring the benefits for your own particular audience.
It is what you measure, how you measure it and how you demonstrate the benefits. That is critical to gain the support you need for, and the understanding of, good governance.
Providing clear examples that senior stakeholders accept helps you to get their attention and support when you demonstrate how your intranet is critical and beneficial to your organisation.
Lastly, you have a better idea what it is that you can measure and avoid wasting time trying to find out something that is very difficult. You need to decide on the benefits you will measure, the way that you measure, and how you explain and show the results, that will help you to improve your intranet.
Without this, the full value of the strategy and governance framework you have worked so hard to implement will be unknown. It is vital to show the benefits to justify the work you have done and to plan with confidence for further improvements based on the success of your intranet to your organisation so far.
I have written a guest post for ClearBox Consulting on the need to invest at least as much time connecting with your stakeholders as identifying business requirements for technology.
In January, I wrote that intranets are transforming into digital workplaces. As your intranet transforms into a digital workplace so the people you need to work with will expand and change. That will involve you investing time building relationships with new and existing senior managers. They will be your stakeholders who will be at the top of your governance hierarchy.
Read more about how getting that balance right will be a giant step forward to likely success.

Krump dancing, or krumping, is a popular freestyle hip hop street dance with Christian roots involving a variety of energetic moves. It was developed by born-again Christian Ceasare Willis, known as Tight Eyez, along with others in the tough South Central area of Los Angeles as a means of releasing aggression in a positive way. Krumping was developed as a conscious alternative to street violence and is a frequent feature of street dance battles. Dancers belong to families, or fams, which are the equivalents of the original break dancing crews.
Krump is an acronym for Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise, according to signsonSanDiego.com's Angela Holman. As a dance, it developed along Christian lines in South Central LA, as a spin-off of similar forms of dancing opposed to violence, such as Clowning, which emerged in 1992. Krump dancing shares similar moves to Clowning, such as the famous energetic arm swings that ressemble a baseball being thrown. However, it's more aggressive, a factor that resulted in its separation from the older style, and unique in its Christian foundation. It may involve face-painting, storytelling, dissing and other methods of performance.
Krump dancing looks aggressive, but it is actually radically nonviolent befitting its Christian roots. It can be subdivided into a variety of styles, some more aggressive than others. They include Goofy, the least aggressive style, Beasty, Grimy, Flashy, Cocky, Jerky, Bully, Tricks, Fight and Fast, all of which serve as apt descriptions, according to danceorigin.com. In addition to arm swings, Krump moves include the battle stance, the weak stance, labbin', bucking up, chest hitting, chest popping, chest locking, foot stomps, kill-offs, syncs, locks, taunts and hand grabs, according to Holman.
The principal founder of Krump dancing is Tight Eyez, who teaches through instructional videos, while praising Jesus and emphasising the importance of Christian healing and the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. Other pioneers include Lil C, Big Mijo, Slayer, Baby C and Big Hurricane. Krump dancing is used in churches as a form of ministry and has had a powerful effect in luring young people out of a lifestyle centring around gang violence and drugs.
Krump dancing has achieved an international presence in recent years as a result of being featured in videos by hip hop superstars such as the Black Eyed Peas and Missy Elliott, and in more than one documentary film. However, it has also generated some controversy for its seemingly aggressive and often sensual style. This aggression, though, has been described as aggression toward the sinful flesh, and Tight Eyez has publicly disassociated himself from the more sensual aspects of street dancing, such as the "stripper dance," according to rapbasement.com. Its supporters point to Krumping benefits, such as it being a powerful alternative to the gang lifestyle and the Krump dancers' refusal of violence and profanity.
Krump dancing has moved beyond its underground roots to become a major world subculture. Chief founder Tight Eyez has taken its message of nonviolence, nonprofanity and racial harmony all around the world to such nations as Russia, China, Germany, South Africa and Australia. In Brisbane, Australia, he spoke about how the letters of Krump came to him in a dream, and how he felt compelled to break away from Clowning toward a more spiritual dance. He is also a rapper and his "Krumpology" CD testifies to his deep Christian faith.
