Thunder Mesa… > Thunder Mesa… > Inspiration
One day, many years ago, I was standing in line with my family to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the wonderfully themed run-away mine train ride at Disneyland in California. Soaking up all of the thoughtful details in the queue, many of which were repurposed from an earlier attraction called the Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland, I was suddenly struck by a fanciful notion: What if, somewhere in the annuls of the wild and wooly west, there had been a single real-world railroad (what we model railroaders commonly call a "prototype") that had inspired Walt Disney and his Imagineers to create the many western railroad themed attractions at Disneyland and other Disney parks around the world? What would such a railroad have been like?
That question became the seed of an idea. I had been playing with trains and modeling various western-themed railroads in one scale or another since I was a pre-teen. I had long been taken by the charm and color of western narrow gauge lines like the Denver & Rio Grande and California's South Pacific Coast, but knew that I wanted to tell a different story. Having traveled extensively in the ruggedly beautiful canyon country of northern Arizona and southern Utah, I was keen to combine those amazing environments with what I knew of narrow gauge railroads. One thing led to another and my "what if" questions about Disney railroads and narrow gauge in the canyonlands produced the first rough plans for what would become the Thunder Mesa Mining Co.
It Starts with a Story
To me, model building is all about telling a good story, and like the model railroad itself, the story of Thunder Mesa has grown in the telling and continues to grow. The rather elaborate fictional backstory now includes visits from Teddy Roosevelt, characters from various westerns, and many elements adapted from Knott's Berry Farm's Calico Mine Train. Having grown up on a steady diet of TV westerns, and just down the road from both Disneyland and Knott's, it was those romanticized versions of the American frontier that have stuck with me over the years and that are the wellspring for my fascination with railroading and the Western Mythos. What has remained consistent is the internal fiction that Thunder Mesa is a real place with a real railroad that has existed somewhere in the canyonlands since the late 19th century. Somewhere between 1952 and '54, it must have been visited by Walt Disney and his associates Ward Kimball and Roger Broggie as they were making plans and seeking ideas for a magical little park out in California. In the world of the TMMC, my railroad came first and inspired what came after, not the other way around.
Reverse Imagineering
With the story framework in place, next came the job of figuring out how things should look and operate in order to get the story across. This required a lot of what I call "reverse imagineering." At Disney, the Imagineering department is tasked with designing and building the experiences and environments that guests enjoy in the parks. The task I gave myself with Thunder Mesa was not to simply copy what Imagineering had done, but to design and build something new using the same processes, story and design philosophies that WDI (Walt Disney Imagineering) uses. This meant going back to the source material and doing loads of research on western narrow gauge railroads, canyon country geology, high desert flora and fauna, late 19th century architectural practices, and common building materials of the era. Not to mention a large dose of Disney and Knott's theme park history. Fortunately, this type of research is something I greatly enjoy.
The resulting model has become something very much like a theme park attraction itself, with trains moving from scene to scene in a way that moves the story along and maximizes the entertainment value. Many visitors to the layout remark that it reminds them of something at Disney and there are indeed many references and easter eggs scattered about that call back to people, places, and things from both Disneyland and Knott's. A friend from WDI perceptively described it as combining Disney and Knott's "greatest hits" all in one railroad. If people enjoy the layout, and it brings a smile to their faces, then I have done my job.
Below are brief descriptions of specific places, railroads, attractions, and other elements that have inspired or influenced the TMMC. The list is not exhaustive and will no doubt be added to in the future.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Disneyland ~ Anaheim, California • Walt Disney World ~ Orlando Florida • Tokyo Disneyland • Disneyland Paris
The first version of this now-classic runaway mine train ride opened at the original Disneyland in California on September 2, 1979. It replaced the earlier Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland attraction, trading a gentle, scenic train ride for family friendly thrills in a wild west setting. Disney Imagineer Tony Baxter led the creative team, building an immersive, detailed, story-rich attraction that remains what is arguably one of the best themed roller coasters ever created. A mirror-image version, with different artificial geology and a slightly different backstory, opened at Walt Disney World in Florida a little over a year later. Versions at Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris would follow, opening in 1987 and 1992 respectively.
I was a senior in high school in 1979 and had several friends who were cast members (Disney speak for "employees"} at the time. I remember spending a lot of time at the park in those days since I only lived about 1/2 hour away down Harbor Blvd. I'd always loved the old Mine Train ride but Big Thunder made a big impression on me. I can fondly recall watching through knotholes in the construction fence as trains were being cycled through the as-yet unopened attraction with sandbags in the seats for weight. To this day it's my favorite ride at the park.
Each version of the ride is slightly different at each of the Disney parks where it is featured. In Anaheim for example, the distinctive rock spires are modeled after Bryce Canyon in Utah. The better, I'm told, to blend with Fantasyland next door. In Florida and Tokyo, the track plan is reversed and the buttes have a Monument Valley look. At Disneyland Paris (Euro-Disney), Big Thunder Mountain is surrounded by the Rivers of the Far West, looking very much like something from Lake Powell on the Arizona/Utah border. When imagineering my own version of "Baxter's Butte," I chose to give it the look of formations in Sedona, AZ, an area I know well that's just across the valley from Thunder Mesa Studio in Jerome.
The backstory also varies a bit at each location, though the main gist remains the same: In the mid to late 1800's, gold is discovered in a remote region of the American Southwest and a boomtown springs up overnight. The Big Thunder Mining Co. builds a railroad to reach the mines but something goes terribly wrong since the land is sacred to the Native Americans. The railroad and mines are cursed by a natural disaster (in California, it's an earthquake, in Florida, a flash flood) and the boomtown is abandoned. Disneyland Paris probably has the most elaborate and fully fleshed-out backstory since it also ties together the frontier town of Thunder Mesa and the wild west styled Haunted Mansion, Phantom Manor.
Big Thunder at Disneyland in California underwent and extensive refurbishment over a 14 month period from February 2013 to March 2014. During that time, all of the track was replaced, scenery was refreshed and repainted, and new show scenes and special effects were added. WDI Executive Creative Director Ray Spencer oversaw the massive refurbishment, including the entire rebuilding of Rainbow Ridge from the ground up. The new dynamite explosion effects on the final lift hill were also done under Ray's direction, adding a much better climax to the story than the unconvincing earthquake and falling rocks that had been there previously.
References to Big Thunder on the TMMC are almost too numerous to list. Besides Baxter's Butte, named for Imagineer Tony Baxter, there's a Dinosaur Gulch where trains pass the exposed bones of a T-Rex. Geyser Gulch is a take on the hot springs scene on WDW and Tokyo versions of the ride. The town of Thunder Mesa has many structures based on Rainbow Ridge. There's a Big Thunder Saloon, a Big Thunder Creek, and the Thunder Mesa Mining Co. Mill is based on the Big Thunder load station in Anaheim. Soon there will also be a Big Thunder Mine, based on structures at Disneyland Paris. I'm sure there will be many more to come.
The Disneyland Railroad
Disneyland ~ Anaheim, California
"I just want it to look like nothing else in the world... and it should be surrounded by a train."
- Walt Disney, speaking to his artists about the idea for Disneyland
I do not clearly remember my first visit to Disneyland, it was 1966 and I was four years old at the time. I do remember the train. It gleamed in the California sunshine, chuffing, hissing, a living, magical thing in red and green and gold, the colors of Christmas. It was love at first sight. I don't even remember for sure if we rode the train that day, but I do know that I have ridden on every single Disneyland trip since then. And there have been many. A few years ago I took my own son, 4 years old at the time, for a ride on the Disneyland Railroad. It was still magic.
Walt Disney loved trains, particularly steam trains, and some form of miniature railroad was included from the very first in plans and drawings for Disneyland. As a young lad, he had worked on the Missouri Pacific as a news butcher, selling magazines, peanuts and candy bars to commuters. Much later, with the success of the Disney Studio and with help from studio machinist Roger Broggie, Walt built his own 1/8th scale railroad in the backyard of his home in Holmby Hills in 1950, the Carolwood Pacific. A workshop was also built on the property in the shape of a rural barn. "Walt's Barn" became Disney's favorite retreat from studio pressures, and he spent many happy hours there tinkering away on projects. From that barn and the miniature railroad grew the idea for Disneyland.
Construction of Walt's magical little park began in 1954, on the site of an orange grove in Anaheim, California. With the expert guidance of Roger Broggie and Earl Vilmer, the railroad was the very first attraction completed for the new park. When Disneyland opened on July 17th, 1955, there were only two trains on the line: the Passenger Train, headed up by locomotive #2, the E. P. Ripley, and the Freight Train, powered by engine #1, the C. K. Holiday. Both locomotives were 4-4-0 American types, built at approximately 5/8" scale and based on scaled up drawings of Walt Disney's 1/8" scale Carolwood Pacific locomotive, the Lilly Belle.
As the popularity of Disneyland grew, new locomotives and trains were added to the roster. In 1958, engine #3, the Fred Gurley entered service with the opening of the Grand Canyon Diorama. The following year, engine #4, the Ernest S. Marsh joined the line up. Today there are five locomotives working on the Disneyland Railroad, with the most recent addition being the Ward Kimball, named in honor of the legendary Disney animator. Kimball was a true lover of trains and had his own, full sized, 3' gauge Grizzly Flats Railroad in the backyard of his San Gabriel home!
From 1955 through 1974, the Railroad was sponsored by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. In those days, all equipment on the line was lettered for the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad. Today the Disneyland Railroad serves as a living history lesson in American steam railroading. Though small in scale, the trains are still powered by authentic steam engines, providing the same nostalgic journey that Walt Disney wanted for his guests all those years ago.
On my Thunder Mesa model railroad, tribute is payed to both the Disneyland Railroad and Walt's original Carolwood Pacific. Equipment for the fictitious Santa Fe, Denver & Carolwood (parent company for the TMMC) is modeled to evoke a strong family resemblance to Disney trains. This helps to support the story that the TMMC and SFD&C came first and were the real world prototypes for Disney.
The Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland
The original Rainbow Caverns Mine Train opened at Disneyland on July 2, 1957. Traversing seven acres of prime Frontierland real estate, it gave delighted guests a one-of-a-kind tour; departing the little mining town of Rainbow Ridge, round the back of Rainbow Mountain, through colorful Rainbow Desert, and culminating in the dramatic, black-lit depths of Rainbow Caverns. In June of 1960, the original, 30" gauge, steam-outline battery operated locomotives and their trains were repainted a bright yellow, replacing an earlier dark green scheme, and the entire attraction was relaunched as the Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland.
Nearly 2 million dollars were spent "plussing" and expanding the ride with over 200 mechanical animals, a longer track plan and several dramatic new scenes. A dream team of first generation Imagineers was assembled to bring the project to life. Roger Broggie, Sam McKim, Bob Sewell, Bill Martin, Bob Mattey, Wathel Rogers and Vic Greene joined Claude Coats, creator of the amazing colored water effects in Rainbow Caverns, to design, engineer and build Walt's natural wonderland. The final result was like a trip through America's great National Parks, served up with a generous salting of Disney humor and whimsy. A new, recorded narration was provided by character actor and Disney favorite Dallas McKennon, describing the amazing sites along the way and adding a charming, rustic touch to the ride. The Living Desert and Rainbow Caverns were still there, but the expanded track loop now included the sites of Beaver Valley, Cascade Peak and Bear Country; all inspired by Disney's True Life Adventure nature films.
The Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland operated daily at Disneyland from June 1960 until New Years Day, 1977. The attraction was demolished to make way for a new mine train themed roller coster attraction called Big Thunder Mountain Railroad which opened in the summer of 1979. Some of the Rainbow Ridge structures were saved and relocated for the queue of Big Thunder, and a tribute to the Rainbow Caverns section of the ride was created on the first lift hill of BTMRR but the effects are achieved in a different fashion.
The TMMC pays tribute to this sorely missed attraction in many ways, most obviously with structures from Rainbow Ridge, and scenes inspired by the Living Desert and Rainbow Caverns. In the fiction of Thunder Mesa, the railroad passes through Nature's Wonderland National Monument, established in 1906 by Theodore Roosevelt. The era modeled floats between 1890 and 1910 and some equipment bears the distinctive "Nature's Wonderland Route" herald. Other tributes can be found in the names of things like "McKennon Arch," a nod to Dal McKennon who provided the Mine Train's narration; and "Coats' Caverns," for Claud Coats, creator of the spectacular blacklight effects in Rainbow Caverns.
The Calico Mine Ride
Knott's Berry Farm ~ Buena Park, California
About a ten minute drive north from Disneyland on I-5, in Buena Park, California, you'll find what some argue is the world's first theme park, Knott's Berry Farm. Walter and Cordelia Knott first opened their 160 acre farm to the public with boysenberry pies and delicious fried chicken dinners way back in 1934. The success of those dinners and the crowds they attracted prompted the Knott's to add more things for folks to see and do. In 1940, construction began on a replica ghost town, dubbed "Calico" after a real California gold-boom town that the Knott's owned and helped to restore. This drew more crowds of folks and that led to even more exhibits, shops and attractions. You could pan for gold, ride a burro, visit a Haunted Shack and even take a ride on the Calico Mine Train.
Knott's has grown and changed a lot over the years, but Calico Mountain still rises high above Ghost Town with its red rock spires, thundering waterfalls, and its one of a kind mine train ride. The Calico Mine Ride opened in 1960, the very same year that Walt Disney's re-imagined Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland reopened to the public following a major expansion. And though the two attractions are both fanciful and share a similar theme, the Calico Mine Train has always been more true to real-world mining lore of the Old West.
Built by Wendell, "Bud" Hurlbut, Knott's Calico Mine Ride is the crowning achievement of this pioneering ride designer who got his start designing and building small-scale trains for amusement parks. Part train ride, part dark ride, built inside its own seven story concrete mountain, the mine train was innovative to say the least. And it has been admired and emulated by theme park designers, including Disney's, ever since. Some say it was the world's first immersive themed dark ride. It had the first hidden themed queue and used theatrical lighting and sound effects to bring its many unique scenes to life. Hurlbut's contributions to Knott's cannot be overstated. More than anyone else, he was the man responsible for transforming the property from a roadside berry stand, Ghost Town and chicken restaurant into a true theme park.
Bud Hurlbut started out as a concessionaire at Knott's in the 1950s, operating a classic 19th century Dentzell carousel, an antique car ride and, later, a miniature train ride around the lagoon. After the success of the Calico Mine Ride in 1960, Bud went on to build the Timber Mountain Log Ride in 1968-69, an attraction still recognized today as one of the best flume rides ever built.
The best thing about Calico Mine Train is that, unlike Disneyland's Nature's Wonderland, you can still ride it. The ride was completely refurbished by Knott's and Garner Holt Productions in 2014 with updated animatronic figures, lighting and sound. It remains a California classic to this day.
I grew up in Orange County, just down the road from Knott's and got to ride the Calico Mine Train many times as a kid. It must have made an indelible impression since now, decades later, I'm trying to incorporate some of its flavor into Thunder Mesa. I've always wanted to include a tribute to Bud Hurlbut and the Calico Mine Train on the layout. That distinctive rock pillar, waterfall and the face of Calico Mountain will be added to the TMMC in the very near future.

British sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein was once visited in his studio by the renowned author and fellow Briton, George Bernard Shaw. The visitor noticed a huge block of stone standing in one corner and asked what it was for.
"That's all very well with a four-ounce manuscript," replied the sculptor, "but not with a four-ton block." Today in the Word, April 5, 1993.
I find it interesting that some people are just opposed to doing any kind of planning. Some see planning as a lack of trust in God. I would argue that God plans, so why should we not also plan? The only difference is, make sure those plans still leave room for God to adapt and change those plans.
We continue looking at leadership from Nehemiah's perspective.
Nehemiah explained to the king that his sadness was a result of the conditions in Jerusalem.
How did Nehemiah know how long it would take? It was because for the past four months, in addition to praying and fasting, he had also been planning! Nehemiah was so sure God wanted him to go to Jerusalem that he had already made plans. So, when the king gave him the opportunity, he was prepared. How many of us miss our chance because we were not prepared? Look at verse 7.
Nehemiah did his homework. He was so prepared he even knew the name of the man in charge of the king's lumberyard. What would have happened if Nehemiah had not been prepared or did not have a plan? The king probably would not have given him permission to go. Nehemiah had prayed about what he wanted to do.
In my current position, I work a lot with churches and one thing I have come to notice. There is lots of hand ringing and indecision. There is also a lot of flying by the seat of their pants. When I ask, "What are your plans for the future?" I get blank stares. Planning I hear is overrated. So, is doing the same thing the same way year after year and expecting people to want to join you on this journey.
Imagine going to the bank to borrow money for a house. When the banker says, "How much do you want to borrow?" You respond by saying, "I don't know, how much do you have?" When the banker says, "What do you want to use the money for?" you respond by saying, "I am not quite sure yet." When the banker says "How do you plan on repaying the loan?" You respond by saying, "Good question. I guess I better figure that out. Now where do I sign?" What do you think your chances would be of walking out of the bank with a loan? In fact, what do you think your chances would be of walking out of the bank, period? Very few: they'd throw you out and have you committed!
Why then, do we expect God to use us when we don't prepare to be used? No matter what it is you want to accomplish in life, whether it is to buy a house, be a bodybuilder, go on a great vacation, make money, get married, serve God, or rebuild a wall – you must first have a plan.
Nehemiah gave God the credit and the glory. He didn't say, "The king granted my requests because I was sincere, I was prepared, I was willing to wait…" and so on. Be care of the leader who uses the "I-word." Nehemiah realized that it was by God's hand upon his life that gave him the opportunity to do this great work.
We've looked at eight characteristics of the kind of person God uses. God is looking for those who are trustworthy, compassionate, committed to prayer, ready to work, willing to wait, confident, sincere, and able to devise a plan. There is one characteristic that encompasses all of these: God uses the kind of person who is willing to give God the glory—not seek to glorify themselves.
← What Is Your Missional Motivation?
If you don't plan, you have already planned to fail.
Thank you have an awesome day in the Lord.
And you as well, Keith!
I come from a branch of Christianity where advance planning is sometimes regarded as a lack of faith in God, but the prophets were typically told things in advance. There certainly is nothing wrong with letting God speak to us in advance and then planning and acting accordingly. Your point is well made, as usual. Take care.
You are such a great source of encouragement to me. Thank you for that.
Great article. I am super ocd about having plans and outlines.

OK now that blame has been placed, what happens? Will the permanently injured survivors receive compensation? How about the children of the dead? and on and on. Money won't make things right, but it often helps. There cannot be any real justice in this as Justice delayed is Justice denied.
Barbara it was, is, a terrible miscarriage of justice. Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt both Tories slated the fans as drunken hooigans in recent years. Thatcher had a hand in the cover up too. She may be dead but there are others including senior police.
It was so sad tonight watching a Mum who had lost her two kids at Hillsborough. Another who aged 23 lost her brother; there parents died some years ago without justice. She is now 50 and finally will get some closure.
Not sure what will happen next but Tuesday feels like a good but very late start.
I posted this quickly as news broke will try to follow up.

My 'somewhat' encounter with Lauren Bacall
By Allan R. Ellenberger
The recent death of Lauren Bacall brought back a memory of my only time seeing her in person. I call it a 'somewhat' encounter because I was a bystander to this event, but I was there—I was a witness. I guess you could say I was part of a three-way meet, but had no direct interaction with the actress myself. This story could be subtitled Bangley & Bacall—and me.
The year was 1998, and I was at the Bel Air Hotel with my late friend, film historian and bon vivant, Jimmy Bangley. He was the guest of a close friend who made yearly visits to Los Angeles and always rented him a room at the posh, celebrity ridden, hotel. Anyone that knew or remembers Jimmy, knows that he was a huge Barbra Streisand fan—what am I saying, a huge fan? A humongous fan. Anyway, Bacall had recently made a film with Streisand called The Mirror Had Two Faces and was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress award, and won a Golden Globe.
One day I was visiting Jimmy at the Bel Air, and we walked out to the swimming pool, looking around hoping for a star sighting. We were not disappointed for there, sitting at a table was Lauren Bacall, her hair wet, and she was wearing a white cotton Bel Air robe. She was in the middle of a card game with two kids; we assumed they were her grandchildren.
Never shy, Jimmy sees her and rushes over, breathless, and before she can flee or make any defensive moves, he blurts out, "Oh Miss Bacall, I just loved you in The Prince of Tides." Bacall just stared at this flamboyant and obviously confused man standing before her, and then she shot a glance at me. I tried to duck. If it wasn't for the chatter of a couple dozen people sitting around us, we would have heard the crickets sing. It took a second but Jimmy realized his goof and that he had the wrong Streisand film. "Oh, I'm sorry Miss Bacall, I meant The Mirror…"
"Yes, I know what you meant," Bacall said icily, not letting him continue. She returned to her card game without saying anything more, giving us our cue to leave. We walked slowly back to his room and eventually had a good laugh about it. Needless to say, as he recounted the encounter later, Jimmy came up with some of his famous quips at Lauren Bacall's expense. Thanks for the memory Ms Bacall and say hi to Bogie for me.

Ava Gardner's deathbed confessions reveal stories of booze, sex and stardom
By Maureen Callahan
She was broke and alone and usually drunk, a one-time Hollywood goddess who had two choices: "I either write the book or sell the jewels," she said. "And I'm kinda sentimental about the jewels."
And so, in January 1988, Ava Gardner, ravaged by booze and cigarettes and a recent stroke, called British journalist Peter Evans and asked him to ghostwrite her memoirs. What followed were the extended deathbed confessions of a legend, compiled for the first time in Evans' last book, "Ava Gardner: The Secret Conversations."
Among the shocking revelations: first husband Mickey Rooney was such a womanizer that he cheated on Ava, then considered the most beautiful woman in the world, in their marital bed while she was in the hospital recovering from an appendectomy.
"He went through the ladies like a hot knife through fudge," she said, adding that her best friend Lana Turner  who'd slept with Rooney first  called him "Andy Hard-On."
Gardner went on to marry bandleader Artie Shaw  "another kind of bully; he was always putting me down"  and then, most famously, Frank Sinatra, who left his wife for her.
While seeing Sinatra, Gardner also had an affair with the married Robert Mitchum. "I was crazy about him," she said. When she told Mitchum that she was also seeing Sinatra, he ended things. "He said, 'Get into a fight with him, and he won't stop until one of you is dead,' " Gardner said. "He didn't want to risk it being him."
Gardner was a teenage virgin from Grabtown, NC, when she was discovered by a talent scout in 1941. She'd grown up poor and uneducated, yet her mother always knew that Ava had what it took to be a movie star. So did she.
"I wasn't dumb," Gardner said. "I knew that my looks might get me through the studio gates."
She knew she wasn't a great actress, and didn't much care: "A lot of my stuff ended up on the cutting-room floor," she said. "A lot more should have."
After a screen test, she was signed to a seven-picture deal with MGM, and quickly became sought after by nearly every leading man in Hollywood. On her first day on the lot, she met Rooney, the 5-foot-2 star of the wholesome "Andy Hardy" series.
"I wanted to f–k you the moment I saw you," he told her. Gardner was 18 and innocent. "I was shocked," she said. "I still didn't know he was the biggest wolf on the lot . . . He'd screw anything that moved."
After a one-year courtship they wed, and one of Hollywood's greatest sex symbols was a virgin on her wedding night. "I caught on very quickly," she said.
After Rooney came Howard Hughes. "I never loved him," she said, adding that despite the generosity he showed her, paying for her dying mother's medical care, he was also a racist. "Howard wouldn't piss on a black man to put him out if he was on fire," she said.
Then, in 1945, she married Shaw  who'd also left his wife for her. But now Gardner was smoking three packs of Winstons a day and getting drunk constantly; she felt so intellectually insecure around her new husband that she finally took an IQ test.
"He had me convinced that I was completely stupid," Gardner said. "I didn't have an enormous IQ, but I did have a high one."
One week after their first anniversary, Shaw dumped her for another woman.
"The bastard broke my heart," she said, and throughout her life she picked the wrong men.  including George C. Scott, who Gardner said would often drunkenly "beat the s–t out of me."
In 1951 she married Sinatra, who she later called the love of her life. Their relationship was famously tempestuous, and her best friend Turner  who'd also had affairs with Shaw and Sinatra  begged Gardner not to go through with it: "I've been there, honey,' she told me. 'Don't do it!' I should have listened to her."
Gardner had two abortions during her marriage to Sinatra, and a courtship that began with "fighting all the time, boozing and fighting," ended the same way. They divorced in 1957, but remained close for the rest of their lives, and when Gardner pulled out of completing her memoirs, Evans suspected that Sinatra gave her the money she would have gotten for the book.
Her decision wasn't a complete surprise to Evans; she would later say that when she was "pushing clouds around," he could publish their book.
She died in 1990, at 67, from pneumonia.

We study the effects of a Danish wage subsidy program for highly educated workers on the performance of the persons and firms participating in the program. Using data on the population of program participants, both workers and firms, we find that the program had positive effects on employment and annual earnings during program participation while there are no positive effects for the years after program expiration. At the employer-level, we find statistically significant effects on the number of highly educated employees for both the period of program participation and the subsequent time period. For the total number of employees we only find positive effects during program participation while there are no statistically significant effects for value added, net income, return on assets, wages per employee and labor productivity.
Worker-level and Firm-level Effects of a Wage Subsidy Program for Highly Educated Labor : Evidence from Denmark. / Kaiser, Ulrich; Kuhn, Johan Moritz.

**ShimmerLayout** can be used to add shimmer effect (like the one used at Facebook or at LinkedIn)
to your Android application. Beside memory efficiency even animating a big layout, you can modify
the shimmer color and the speed of the animation as well.

## Usage

Create the layout on which you want to apply the effect and add as a child of a `ShimmerLayout`:

```xml
<io.supercharge.shimmerlayout.ShimmerLayout
    android:id="@+id/shimmer_text"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="40dp"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
    android:paddingLeft="30dp"
    android:paddingRight="30dp">

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="ShimmerLayout"
        android:textColor="@color/shimmer_background_color"
        android:textSize="26sp"/>

</io.supercharge.shimmerlayout.ShimmerLayout>
```

Last, but not least you have to start it from your code:

```csharp
var shimmerText = FindViewById<ShimmerLayout>(Resource.Id.shimmer_text);
shimmerText.StartShimmerAnimation();
```

## Customization

In addition to the default shimmer, there are a couple of ways to customize
or enhance the shimmer effect:

 - `shimmer_color` - specify a color to use as the shimmer
 - `shimmer_animation_duration` - the duration of the shimmer in milliseconds

```xml
<io.supercharge.shimmerlayout.ShimmerLayout
        ...
        app:shimmer_color="@color/shimmer_color"
        app:shimmer_animation_duration="1200">

        ...

</io.supercharge.shimmerlayout.ShimmerLayout>
```

Opening Statement by Mr. Ivan Šimonović, Assistant Secretary-General, Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, at the Seventh Meeting of States Parties to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families
Excellencies,
Distinguished Delegates,
On behalf of the United Nations Secretary-General, I declare open the Seventh Meeting of States parties to the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. Warm welcome to all of you. It is my honour and privilege to address this meeting.
The plight of migrant workers makes the front pages of the world's newspapers, but is still failing to generate sustainable human rights solutions. In April, Italian authorities rescued a staggering 1,500 migrants in one 24 hour period. Figures released by the International Organisation for Migration revealed that the number of migrants and asylum seekers arriving in Italy by sea in 2014 reached a total of 170,100. This was about four times the number registered in 2013. Large migrant flows were also recorded from Central American countries towards North America as well as across South East Asia.
Since the start of his mandate in September 2014, the High Commissioner for Human Rights has given priority to the rights of all migrants. In his Human Rights Day speech in December, he warned that the depiction of migrants as "invasive hordes" who are "threatening our way of life" must stop, and States must act with full respect for the human rights of all – including migrants.
The International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families provides a comprehensive framework of rights to be respected at all stages of the migration process. This year, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Migrant Worker's Convention. In this regard, I note with appreciation that many of the States represented here are active in promoting ratification of the Convention and I encourage you to continue doing so. It is time for all of us to redouble our efforts to bring the rights in the Convention to the people who are entitled to its protection.
Since your Sixth Meeting, Armenia signed the Convention on 26 September 2013, and both Mozambique and Madagascar ratified the Convention on 19 August 2013 and 13 May 2015, respectively. At present, there are 48 States parties to the Convention. Although these treaty actions are most welcome, the limited number of States having ratified or acceded to the Convention remains the most significant challenge faced by the Committee in ensuring the protection of the rights of all migrant workers and members of their families.
My Office continues to promote ratification of the Convention by communicating with signatory States, liaising with civil society and international trade unions, as well as following up recommendations made during the second cycle of the UPR with both the States concerned and the relevant field presences.
In a joint statement issued with the ILO Director-General to mark the International Migrants Day on 18 December, the High Commissioner noted that refusing to give migrants and their families access to education, health care and adequate housing is practically short-sighted as equality and non-discrimination are important drivers of sustainable development.
Before turning to the substantive items on the provisional agenda, allow me to briefly refer to recent developments of interest concerning the activities of the Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families.
The Committee has so far held 22 sessions. Since the Sixth Meeting of States parties, the Committee considered 12 reports of States parties and, in each case, adopted conclusions and recommendations aimed at the effective implementation of the Convention at the national level. The Committee adopted two Lists of Issues based upon reports submitted to it as well as 12 Lists of Issues Prior to Reporting under the simplified reporting procedure.
The Committee issued several statements on the human rights of migrants and their family members. In July 2014, the Chair of the Committee issued a statement focusing on immigration detention of children. The Committee noted that 35 million children migrate every year for a variety of reasons, including deteriorating security and economic conditions, lack of educational and work opportunities, as well seeking out parents who are working abroad, and called upon States to cease immigration detention of children and adopt alternatives to detention that fulfil the best interests of the child. Following a number of migrant tragedies in the Mediterranean Sea, in April 2015 the Committee urged States to adopt a new approach to migration focusing on the human rights of migrants and addressing the root causes of this complex phenomenon in cooperation with States of origin, transit and destination.
At its twenty-second session, held in April 2015, the Committee organised an informal meeting with States parties to provide an update on efforts made to promote the ratification of the Convention, as well as to discuss possible activities to mark the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the Convention, which will take place on 18 December 2015.
We will remember 2014 as the year in which the intergovernmental treaty body strengthening exercise came to a conclusion with the adoption of General Assembly resolution 68/268. The Committee has now been provided with three additional days of meeting time for the purpose of increasing the number of States parties that it is able to review annually. The General Assembly also recognized in resolution 68/268 that strengthening the treaty body system requires increased harmonization of working methods across treaty bodies.
It is noteworthy that the Committee was the first Committee to adopt many key proposals and recommendations addressed to the treaty bodies contained in the report of the former High Commissioner for Human Rights on strengthening the United Nations treaty body system (A/66/860), including those concerning the guidelines on independence and impartiality of members of the human rights bodies and the simplified reporting procedure. The Committee also discussed the issue of reprisals against individuals and groups interacting with the Committee, and decided that such matters will be dealt with by the Bureau of the Committee.
The nomination and election process is a determining factor of paramount importance to the expertise and efficiency of each treaty body. As such, the Office invites States parties to adopt national policies and processes for the nomination of experts, and proposes that a public space be opened for all States parties to present their potential candidates for treaty bodies.

Blend within the gravity of royal things, culture of Jaipur not only carries art, shopping, food, and monuments but it also has sports within it. And, with that point of introduction, Sawai Mansingh Stadium is definitely a sight to explore.
Popularly known as SMS stadium, it is a cricket stadium in Pink City built during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II. Situated at the corner of Rambagh circle, the stadium has the seating capacity of around 35,000.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium was established in 1969. And, the first evert solitary match between India and Pakistan was hosted here on 21 February 1987. Pakistan President General Zia-ul-Haq was the chief guest of this inaugurative match. He crossed the border to watch the second day's play as part of his "Cricket for Peace" initiative.
The stadium's ODI debut had kicked off with a contest between the same two sides on 2 October 1983. Fresh from their World Cup triumph, the Indians comfortably won by four wickets, sporting the same XI that won the World Cup final.
The ground has also hosted two World Cup matches in 1987 and 1996 respectively, the West Indians losing to England in the former and beating Australia in the latter.
In 2006, the stadium encountered a major renovation at the cost of 400 Crore Rs. And, with the purpose of development, a world-class academy was built of Rs. 7 crores with 28 appointed rooms, a gym, a restaurant, two conference halls and a swimming pool. Now, here one can see new facilities including the Media chambers, galleries, two new blocks, and more capacity.
The stadium act as a Sport Complex offerings various other sports activities including Cricket, Badminton, Tennis, Athletics events etc.
Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) set up a 55-feet high sculpture of Arjuna at East gate of SMS Stadium Jaipur to show respect to Rajasthan's sportsperson Arjuna. It is said to be the highest statue in Jaipur and 2nd highest statue in Rajasthan. Including base 30 feet high, the Arjuna statue in Jaipur is 55 feet high and it is short of 57 feet highest statue of Maharana Pratap in Udaipur Rajasthan.
For encouraging and admiring sportspersons who have brought name and fame for the state in their sports, an Art Gallery is also built behind the statue of Arjun in Jaipur. The gallery has 17 blocks with sculptures displaying different sports. Each block has the name of sportsperson who brought accolades for the state of Rajasthan.
This doesn't just show respect for the sportsperson who have achieved something and made us proud but also encourage other sportspeople to bring fame to the state by excelling in their sport.
Though the SMS stadium mostly hosted test matches, its ODI records are also remarkable.
The lowest ODI score at this ground is 135 by India against Pakistan.
Most famous opening pair of Indian Cricket Team, Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar, opened the innings for the first time on this ground.
The highest individual score by any batsman on this ground in ODI is 183 not out by Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The highest ODI score at this ground is 362-1 by India against Australia in October 2013.
In the same match, Virat Kohli made the fastest 100 for India in ODIs.
That match records the second highest successful chase in ODIs, after the Johannesburg epic between Australia and South Africa.
Hence, we can say, this Sawai Mansingh Stadium is not just a niche of tournaments or match series; it's a complete story in its own that has a lot more to experience.

Too bad he left......one of the good ones!
Jude Bricker, formerly of Allegiant Air, hired after a former executive was reassigned.
Sun Country Airlines has appointed a new president and chief executive with experience in low-cost airlines.
The Eagan-based airline announced late Monday it has hired Jude Bricker to lead the company. Bricker previously worked for Allegiant Air, an airline known for offering no-frills flights.
"We are pleased to have Jude Bricker joining us at Sun Country to lead our organization going forward," said Marty Davis, the airline's chairman.
"Sun Country is composed of a tremendously experienced group of employees," he said. "Our ongoing challenge is to grow this business in the most optimal manner, and do so within the market opportunities before us. Jude will lead that effort."
The appointment comes one week after Davis notified Sun Country employees that he had asked CEO Zarir Erani to step down from his position at the airline.
Erani, well regarded by many employees, will take a position working on technology capabilities for Cambria Co., another Minnesota business owned by the Davis Family.
The decision to move Erani came after a review over several months of the airline's activities and management by owners, Davis said last week.
Bricker has spent the past decade with Las Vegas-based Allegiant where he most recently served as chief operating officer and executive vice president.
He resigned from Allegiant in late May.
Like Sun Country, Allegiant specializes in — and profits from — building vacation packages for its northern-city customers headed to warm-weather destinations.
But the two airlines operate different customer-service models. Sun Country has built a reputation as a friendly airline that still includes certain free "perks," such as a free carry-on bag and complimentary beverages.
Allegiant is an ultra-low-cost airline, which charges fees for everything from seat assignments to nonalcoholic beverages.
Bricker was credited as a key architect in helping Allegiant reach its first-ever collective-bargaining contract with its pilots last year after contentious negotiations between the labor group and management.
"I am excited to be joining Sun Country. This team has established Sun Country as a pre-eminent name in travel in Minnesota," Bricker said. "I look forward to continuing the tradition of customer focus while delivering safe and reliable service to top destinations."
Bricker, along with his wife and three teenage children, will be moving to Minnesota in the near future, Sun Country said in a news release.
Sun Country folk may not realize it yet, but they are lucky to have him!
I have a class date at Sun Country and was a bit concerned with the firing of their CEO and who his replacement would be. What's the consensus from you guys at Allegiant regarding Jude??
The consensus was positive. I think most of us were shocked when the announcement was made that he was leaving. In my opinion, he was one of the few "good ones" in this industry. You'll understand when you meet him in person.
I don't know his plans for Sun Country, but I think his impact will be positive.
Allegiant employee's loss, Sun Country's gain. Solid and visionary business leader.

Thanks guys. Hope it means good things for the future at Sunny.
What are the chances of a merger? It seems like a strange move to leave a $3 million salary for a position at SY where the last CEO was making $250,000. There's gotta be more to the story on this move.
I'd say ANYTHING is POSSIBLE. The question is what's likely.
Allegiant gains an international infrastructure by buying SY, which is something management has been chasing for a while now, but haven't been able to pull off. Also get a bunch of ETOPS NGs that can make it to Hawaii. AAY would love to get back there after our last 757 gets parked late this year.
Down side is adding another type to an airline that's gone all in for Airbus. My understanding is that SY also carries a large debt load, something allegiant management shuns. Integrating two very different pilot groups with two different unions could be a fiasco. Totally different business models. Allegiant will do anything to make a buck, but runs away from anything that loses a dime like the building is on fire. Our CEO likes to gamble though.
I think the negatives outweigh the positives, but I don't have an MBA, so what do I know. If G4 did buy SY, I would expect everything there as you know it to change. Don't expect more than a handful of planes devoted to MSP. 737s will scatter among the system. It will be more of an assimilation than a merger. Kind of like Alaska/Virgin.
Wont happen. Nothing gained by it for Allegiant, and the different type wont appeal. Thats my crystal ball. Having said that, I absolutely expect Jude to turn Sun Country into Allegiant 2.0.
Rumor has it he might have been asked to leave.
While I agree 100% with you, the NWA guys told us the same thing about Bingo.
....and for the first year they were spot on.
In Greg's defense, there were some things that went down in those early days that turned Greg into what he became. He started here working very well with AAPAG and making a lot of positive change.
Hard to justify force feeding us PBS.
I never said it justified it, and I'm not defending anything Greg did. Just putting context to why he went from a pilot friendly manager to a typical manager.
Or, among other things, a fueling policy which aimed to remove captain discretion and pressured inexperienced and intimidated dispatchers to load minimum fuel to remote locations, oh, like Fargo. Ironically it was his own self-imposed, nationally televised fuel emergency that was the final nail to his highly contentious tenure at G4. 'Bingo's' typical NWA style, legacy swagger and stubborn refusal to listen were major contributors to G4 pilots seeking outside representation. Loss of income, mission mode abuse, disastrous implementation of a deeply flawed scheduling system, safety concerns, rampant and unwarranted terminations, training deficiencies, etc., all came shortly after his arrival. Sadly, after being warmly welcomed by an optimistic, open-minded pilot group, his departure was widely applauded and came without tearful sendoffs.
Those 73's have a street value something fierce... maybe we trade alaska 1 for 2 with the busses they don't want.

Q: GWT gwt i18n Gin Module My question is the following:
I got one application running with GWT.
At the startup of the application, one GWTClientModule which extends AbstractGinModule or another GWTClientModule is loaded.
Based on that switch I would like to set the local.
Is there a way to set the local not directly in .html by doing as follow:
<meta name="gwt:property" content="locale=fr">

but directly in one of the selected GWTClientModule?
Thank you very much for your kind assistance ;-)

A: You cannot do that if you use static String internationalization, since it uses deferred binding: the GWT compiler generates one JavaScript file per locale, and, when your page is loaded, the GWT bootstrap script looks for the "locale" property inside the page (or in the URL), before loading the appropriate version of the code.
Choosing the locale programmatically (inside your GWTClientModule) is impossible, since the localized version of your code is already loaded once that code executes...
If you really need to choose the locale at runtime, you might want to look into dynamic String internationalization, but it is less performant and you lose static type checking.

A: We used a workaround here based on this to set the locale according to the client browsers language.
Simply add the following Javascript to your .html :
<script type="text/javascript">
var search = location.search;
if(search.indexOf("locale") == -1){
    var lang = navigator.language!= null ? navigator.language : navigator.browserLanguage;
    lang = lang.replace("-", "_");
    var metaTag = document.createElement('meta');
    metaTag.name = "gwt:property";
    metaTag.content = "locale=" + lang;
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(metaTag);
}
</script>

It looks if the meta tag corresponding to the locale isn't set, if not it looks up the browser language and add the proper meta tag, EG :
<meta name="gwt:property" content="locale=fr">

Securing The Enterprise Edge
Guarding the gateway between enterprise systems and attackers
The modern network no longer has a well-defined perimeter. Cloud, mobile and now IoT are punching holes in perimeter security and providers of edge devices are prime targets for attack. By compromising an edge device, hackers can open multiple enterprise targets. Edge devices like printers and routers are major targets for Massive Remote Code Execution, and attract some of the fiercest attacks.
Take for example, the MFP (multi-function printer). A highly sophisticated, connected system that can print, copy, scan, email and fax over external and internal networks in an on-premise or managed service set-up. These devices have access to confidential company information and personally identifiable information and provide hackers with access to sensitive corporate assets. A compromised multi-function printer that opens a gateway for attackers is a nightmare scenario that could affect thousands of enterprises.
How Karamba Secures
Automatically building security into the connected system is the foundation of Karamba Runtime Integrity technology for the automotive world. Now, addressing the Enterprise Edge, the XGuard suite provides unparalleled self-protection against device control loss. Buffer overflows can result in foreign malicious code or code reuse (such as return-oriented programming) attacks which can be self-detected and self-blocked with Karamba XGuard.
After the attack is detected and blocked, XGuard provides a detailed report of the attack to the device manufacturer.
Automatically embedding cybersecurity into endpoints - including Enterprise Edge devices – has always been a sought-after goal, but it has been hindered by performance restrictions. Karamba's solution allows manufacturers to automatically apply this technology to seal systems during production. Furthermore, Karamba's solution has proven to have negligible performance impacts in the resource constrained in-vehicle environment.
Deterministic Security
Self-protection is a new paradigm in Security by Design, which aims to detect and prevent attacks in runtime. The factory settings of security policies are defined in the software build process, including the "known good" which the system needs to adhere to.
Any modification from the product's automatically-built security policy is detected as a violation that can be blocked by the device itself and reported for further investigation or other configurable auto-behavior.
Edge Devices
Zero-Day and Day-One attack prevention. The concept of sealing the device according to its known good enables the connected device to protect itself from cyberattacks.
Deviations from the device's known goods must not be allowed. They are deterministically detected and prevented. This approach enables users to detect and prevent new attacks and does not require security updates.
Self-Operating
No developer intervention or changes required, nor any alterations to current software tools and lifecycle. Karamba Runtime Integrity runs independently at all times – out of sight and out of mind.
Negligible Performance Impact
Karamba XGuard uses a patented method to integrate into your device and is capable of providing runtime integrity validation with minimal performance impact of less than 5% on CPU and 10% image size on disk.
Designed For Embedded Systems
Karamba's security solution was forged in the quality-oriented, heavily-regulated automotive industry. It is easy to deploy, blocks highly-sophisticated attacks and requires no additional manpower or equipment. With Karamba's comprehensive solution, security is built-in.
What is autonomous security and how does it provide superior runtime integrity protection? In this white paper, we explain how deterministic methods harden the runtime environment to prevent system hacking.
Karamba's platform features CFI, whitelisting, on-premise or cloud-based management, customizable reporting and forensics. Plus it's easy to deploy, and supports almost any platform, build environment, and architecture.
