How far have we come in the emancipation of men? Have we come out of the Victorian age? We have, but it is now the age of woman.
Men's Wages  On Parity With Women's?
How far have we come in the emancipation of men? Have we come out of the Victorian age? We have, but it is now more the age of woman than any other age ever was before.
Average life expectancies for both sexes were about equal for the sexes in the Victorian age. That was when women were "oppressed." Now that women are fully liberated, although the life expectancies increased for both, men and women  thanks to the medical advances made almost exclusively by men, advances that benefited women vastly more than they did men  the average life expectancy for men in most of the developed countries is now about seven years less than that for women. In some of the countries of the former communist block even far less than that, as much as 12 and even 14 years less than that of women. After all, communism always endeavored to do more for women at the expense of men, and nowhere is that more evident than in socialist nations. It always was and still is that the more socialism, the higher the price men pay for the equality of women.
Mind you, there were advances for men, too. One of those was that the standard numbers of hours worked by men were reduced by law from 70 hours to 48 hours a week, but one of the greatest advances for men was a better system of medical care on the battlefield. Florence Nightingale got much of the credit for some of that. However, few people have a clue that it was a man, Jean-Henry Dunant, who created the Red Cross, a system and symbol of peace whereby men could be salvaged on the battlefields, to send them back into battle time and again until they were no longer serviceable, rather than letting them simply die there the first time they got wounded, as had been customary until the Red Cross came into the picture.
Men are incapable of helping each other, and just like animals on heat they rather kill each other.
They do? Do they have a choice? It is women like her who have no compunction about forcing them to do it, through military conscription and, when that is not in force, by pinning white feathers on the lapels of men who won't do it voluntarily, and in a thousand different ways. Still, whenever any woman is in trouble, no matter how miserable she is and unappreciative of men's sacrifices, she'll never refuse to be rescued by a man.
In a follow-up to her message, the woman pointed out that things are not too likely to improve for men, because women constitute the majority of voters. And why not? When men come of voting age, they begin their dying in earnest, often in the service of women. After all, isn't that what men are for?
After the war my father was judged to be 40-percent, permanently disabled. He received a very small monthly disability payment for the injuries he sustained. Still, he never ever missed a day of work after his stay of two years in the military hospital, not until his rapidly deteriorating health forced him into retirement. Three years after he retired on account of his deteriorating health that had been seriously and permanently damaged during his military service, he passed away  66 years of age. My mother outlived him by many years, although she had earned a medal too, not the Iron Cross (which, by the way, is not made out of iron), but the Mother's Cross, for having produced seven children, four of whom were sons, of which the three oldest got the honour to lay their lives on the line for their country and "Leader." The youngest of my three older brothers spent four years on active duty that didn't end until he, just after he turned eighteen, escaped from a POW train while in transit (in a box car) from an American to a French POW camp.
When I was six and had to stay for almost two months in the hospital on account of complications that arose from Scarlet Fever, my dad came to visit me. The nurses looked at him askance because he wasn't in uniform  and, after that, they tried to punish me for that by starving me to death.
However, I survived that, because shortly afterwards my oldest brother came to visit me. He was on leave, wearing the uniform of a sergeant in the Luftwaffe. The nurses just loved him, because he looked so military and was such a strapping fine soldier. After that I got special attention, special food and was even cuddled now and then. Oh, the warm hearts of loving, caring women.
Women adored heroes, especially when they were young, military looking, in good shape and still in one piece. It is different when men begin to acquire the signs of permanent damages, such as through having lost an arm and a leg, or even if they merely walk on a cane now and then, like my dad had to, and can't wear a military uniform because they were declared unfit for military duty in another war that women with their majority vote condoned then, too.
Quite literally, for many a man an arm and a leg is the price he must pay for being a man. For hundreds of millions more the price is that of their lives. At the end of the Second Millennium the world population was short by close to 300 million men who gave their lives either in the service of society, home and country, their wives and children, or lost it on account of neglect or deliberate persecution.
Men have a long way to go before they, too, are liberated and can enjoy life to the same extent of comfort, or at least for the same length, as women can.

Waking up around midnight and being told that the contractions had been steady for the past hour.
Bringing my wife a peach and a blueberry yogurt as she labored in the dark in our bathtub, and then sitting next to her eating the one she didn’t choose.
Having my heart break at every new contraction as I watched my wife’s face contort into pain.
Thinking helplessly about how insanely tired she was and that there was still so much left to do.
Standing over her, sobbing as I held her face and told her I wished I could do it all in her place.
Sitting in shock as I was all at once humbled, honored and thrilled to be a new dad.
That natural childbirth is a difficult, harrowing, beautiful and amazing experience.
That midwives and doulas are worth their weight in gold.
That a child can shoot out of a mommy like a cork out of a champagne bottle.
That my wife is my hero and stronger than I had ever imagined.
That I would instantly fall in love for the second time in my life.
That I would make threats to imaginary future boyfriends within five minutes of my daughter’s birth.
That I thought I knew a lot about life, God and the universe and after watching the insane miracle that is birth, realized that I knew very little.
After the birth, I was overwhelmed with a flood of different thoughts. I thought about how we had just gone through this transformational, life-altering experience and how the midwives do it everyday. I gave gratitude for the fact that we had a whole team working with us and that I was able to work with them to support my wife through this journey. I then realized that there are single moms out there doing all of this on their own, and it broke my heart. If you are a single mom reading this: I’m proud of you, my heart goes out to you, and I’m sending love your way.
As I looked at my daughter for the first time, my thoughts turned to her. I thought about the future: helping her tie her laces, teaching her to read and the millions of other things we would be responsible for teaching her. I thought about how she would grow into an amazing woman, the boys we would have to chase away, the college she might attend and the fact the she might also be a parent someday. I thought too about all that I had learned over the last few decades; all the triumphs and failures, the heartaches and blessings, the life stages traversed and the fears overcome. And I thought about the fact that all of it was starting right here, right now, at this very moment, for her.
Thank you for posting this, Ethan – it is absolutely wonderful and worded so beautifully. Much the same we all feel when first having our babies God bless you all!!
This post made me sob. In a good way. Such sweetness and tenderness. You are already an amazing dad. What a lucky little girl! And lucky us to get a window into this day and your humbling thoughts!
I Love this so much! A bountiful Congratulations to you, Ethan & Casie!!! Well written & well done, my friend! I’m glad & honored to be able to celebrate this with you both as dear friends!
Awesome insight into the emotional roller coaster that is childbirth. I shared many of your same feelings when our two kids were born. For me, those two separate days were both my least favorite ever, and my happiest. They were my least favorite because I got to watch my wife labor through pain for over 30 hours the first time, and about 20 the second time – after already long and uncomfortable pregnancies – both times only to end up with our plans for a natural home birth end up in the opposite direction – with a C section in an operating room. Singing hymns to my wife while they cut her open to remove our children, and in the span of about 5 minutes, it shifts from emotionally drained from empathy for the love of your life, to emotionally full of wonder of this new gift. It’s almost too much emotion to process – but it probably pales in comparison to what they feel.
We are about to have our third child in a few weeks – and I know we’ll be in that situation again – and I know it will all be ok. As was the case with you – it gave me new insight as to the strength of women, and of mothers. Especially to imagine myself in their shoes – where you don’t have a choice – and this time of intense progress is coming one way or another. My prayer is that every mother experiences a painless, harmonious childbirth, and that the parents find strength, courage and humility in the years that follow.
Joel, so sorry the first two births didn’t go according to plan, it must have been such a roller coaster of emotion for both of you. I’m also so grateful that your kids arrived safely and are thriving today. Sending good thoughts your way for the birth of your third child and knowing that, as you said, all will be well.
Very nice write up Ethan. I look forward to conversing more with you as I will be starting this same journey soon.
Anytime Lane – so excited for you two!

PointDrive has been out for a few months, and many of our customers are wondering how they ever got along without it. For the uninitiated, PointDrive is the new functionality now available inside of Sales Navigator, that offers a more professional way to deliver personalized content and drives greater engagement between buyers and seller. In our brand new Sales Navigator Community, which is an online space for Program Managers and Admins to collaborate with each other, PointDrive has quickly gained status as the most talked about feature. So many great tips and conversations have been shared that we just had to share them with the world!
Even with a product as easy to use as PointDrive, purposeful usage takes strategy. Getting the whole organization to adopt a new product or feature can be daunting, but not if you follow these tips.
Alejandro Cabral, Head of Indirect Sales and Business Development, LatAm at BMC shares: “Adoption starts with those that lead. It doesn't need to be a "whip" thing. It can be fun but mostly, reps need to see managers mean it. Now, the problem might be getting managers on board.” This is really solid advice, and is really the first step in getting any organizational buy-in and adoption.
PointDrive is a great opportunity for Marketing to collaborate with Sales and ensure that all presentations sent to clients tell the right message, in the right voice, with the right visuals. “Collaborate with marketing or sales enablement people to help keep your presentations consistent and get the messaging right and also to help tweak any assets that are needed,” advises Michael Goeden, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Digital Marketing Institute.
A huge benefit of PointDrive over sending email attachments is the insight into what content is working and what isn’t. “After getting some 12 presentations done, we got together and looked at the numbers. You don't get a lot of indicators but the ones you get work pretty well. Communicate them, show them what it means. Where are readers clicking the most? What kind of content is better appreciated? What rep created the most presentations and did they get many readers?” shares Alejandro.
Alejandro says that PointDrive is a “great way for sales to engage with Marketing: we need the templates, we need the content. I've posed it that way and it's worked wonders so far!” Indeed, PointDrive is where Marketing and Sales can collaborate to deliver a great experience to the prospect. “This tool really helps marketing drive collateral and empower sales to create their own value to it. Currently I'm using PointDrive to drive internal training, yet this is a great tool for sales to deliver content like white papers, videos and/or statements of work. There's really a lot you can do,” shared Tristan.
We hope this was helpful! For more tips, and to access other program managers’ PointDrive presentations, join our new Community. It’s open to all Program Managers of Sales Navigator. We are in private beta now, so please send us a message to successcommunity@linkedin.com if you would like to join.

The Brockville Rotary Club organized and sponsored a group of air-minded youth (age 12-14) into the Brockville Model Aero Club, in August 1938. During this time, the club was strictly a free-flight club, as were most of the clubs in those days. The Rotary Club allowed use of their skate changing building at Rotary Park Rink for BMAC meetings and construction activities, - during the summer months.
An Annual Rotary Flying Competition was held every May 24th. These successful meets were held for many years on the Ontario Hospital Farm property – which is the present Brockville Industrial Park.
Many youthful competitors came from other clubs, including Ottawa, Ogdensburg, Watertown, and Kingston. It evolved into one of the biggest and best known contests in Canada.
As WW II broke out, many of the original members joined the RCAF. A new wave of youthful modelers followed in the tradition. Several members obtained their private pilot’s license, as well as one becoming an Air Canada captain. Following the war, the BMAC continued operating on its own by active modelers of all ages. Over 70 individuals were members over the active club period of 1938-1972.
In 1972, a small, separate group of modelers were casually flying radio control. This group would eventually become the Brockville Radio Control Club (BRCC). In 1997/1998 out of respect for the history, the BRRC adopted the name and crest of the now defunct Brockville Model Aero Club, with a slight twist by changing "Aero" to "Aeronautics". The Brockville Model Aeronautics Club was born, again.
The Crest, was designed by a 14 year old original member, B. Loomis (now deceased). It was proudly used until the Club ceased in the early 70’s – but adopted by the Brockville Radio Control Club in 1998 along with the club name. Mr. Allan Birks, the Rotary President who spear-headed the original effort, donated a large, beautiful perpetual trophy for competition – which was eagerly sought.
The assistance from the local Rotary Club was appreciated by all members. Their efforts were responsible for keeping many Brockville youth in an active, healthy, educational and productive exercise.

I found this recipe through allrecipes forever ago. The first time I tried it I used turkey bacon...don't. Go all out. You taste buds will thank you, you can ignore your arteries just this once. You will be good tomorrow.
Put spinach in a glass bowl and put in microwave for three minutes, stirring every minute or so, until wilted. Stir in sour cream, cheese, and garlic.
Lay chicken out. Place a spoonful of mixture on each piece of chicken. Roll up chicken to enclose mixture. Wrap each one in two pieces of bacon. Can secure with a toothpick. Place in shallow baking pan.
Bake uncovered for 35 minutes, then increase heat to 500 or set to broil for another 5-10 minutes to crisp up the leading lady...BACON.
Serve with a green salad so you feel a little better about all the bacon.
I only do what my taste buds say - I tell my arteries to go hide in the corner. Bring on the bacon. This looks CRAZY GOOD.

One of the exhaust system improvements that can be performed on your Salter Point CHRYSLER is exhaust extractors. Extractors allow your car's engine to run more efficiently by allowing the exhaust gases to be pushed out more easily. This CHRYSLER performance exhaust system upgrade will result in up to 15% better fuel economy, increased horsepower, increased torque and a cooler and cleaner running engine.
The combustion process of a petrol engine is never perfect. Dangerous gases, such as nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons will arise and it is the job of the catalytic converter to reduce these to safer emissions. These cat converters can fail by becoming clogged, or if the engine has bad exhaust valves or the plugs fail, causing unburned fuel to overheat the converter. Mettam's Mufflers can resolve these issues with your Salter Point CHRYSLER by replacing your damaged or clogged cat converter with a standard or hi-flow cat converter in under 1 hour.
Two examples of accessories that Mettam's Muffler's can provide to your Salter Point CHRYSLER are stainless steel mufflers and stainless steel tips and chrome ends. These products can add a distinct sound and look to every car.
Mettam's Mufflers are located in three convenient locations and can fit your Salter Point CHRYSLER's Performance Exhaust Systems.

My 8 year old is cat OBSESSED! She greets her kitty as soon as we walk through the door, wants to make a cat tower with her grandpa and if she touches anything soft, it’s as soft as “5000 cuddly cats!” When I heard that there was a Cat Cafe coming to Edmonton, I knew we would have to visit.
I was initially disappointed to hear that the cafe would be for adults and children 10 and up. I totally understood though – you don’t want the kitties to be overwhelmed and stressed out from little ones chasing them and pulling their tails all day long. But I was really happy when they announced a weekly kid’s event Sunday mornings for children under 10.
It is only for an hour, and there are only so many spots available so you need to sign up in advance. Rules are clearly addressed before you enter the cafe as well. We have been there twice so far and parents are pretty great at watching their children closely. But if the kitty just isn’t into it, they can always escape up high or through their kitty door to the back room.
They have activities for kids as well. Coloring pages and face painting have been offered during our visits. It is free for children and parents to visit during the hour but food and snacks are extra.
As it is an awesome free event for kids, it is often booked a few weeks in advance. But you can find a Sunday that works and sign up on their website. Another great thing about the Cat Cafe on Whyte is all the kitties are available for adoption! When we were there last week, the sign said there were currently 10 cats there and 33 had been adopted since they opened in the spring!
So take the kids down to the Cat Cafe on Whyte on Sunday Morning, and then go for a stroll down Whyte Ave if you have the time.
Wow! I’ve never heard of a cat cafe! My son adores cats.

I’ve never felt more alive than I do when I walk down the back streets of Hong Kong at daybreak. Really, they are something else. The dilapidated dwellings and crumbling shopfronts are frozen in time. I find to be a welcome treat after all the wholesome sameness of new the shining new buildings along the harbour.
So I take myself on yet another tour of Hong Kong’s architectural marvels – both old and new, but mainly old. Who could ever get bored of exploring the fragrant harbour?
There is nothing to fear here – Hong Kong is safe so you are free explore the small alleys. There is no fresh air flowing down the lanes, trees and grass are rather sparse around Central so sometimes it does smell rather stale. For me, the scent of Hong Kong’s back streets is a melange of rotten vegetables, petrol fumes and chicken soup.
It’s not tourist friendly in the alleys. It’s not friendly at all. However fabulous Hong Kong may be you would be foolish to expect a nice chat with the folk on the street, especially if you are a foreigner with a camera. I can’t say that I’ve ever had a conversation with a stranger in the street here. Then again, I’ve never made the effort to master Cantonese.
There is nowhere else in the world like Hong Kong so don’t sleep in, grab your camera and head out to the streets on your way have some yum cha for breakfast. This is the only time the streets aren’t too busy around Central and Sheung Wan.
If you start out early – 7am is when it all kicks off , which in Hong Kong is about the time that we are wandering home from a night out, and it’s not too hot at this hour of the morning.
Many of the buildings in these streets are untouched and not renovated – not yet.
Look them up: some some are modern, such as the Bank of China’s 1950’s structure and the grubby old Chungking Mansions is about the same vintage. The others are remarkable colonial heritage buildings.
Enjoy the exquisite shabbiness of Hong Kong.

In pro football, you play each divisional rival twice. Occasionally you can meet that same team again in the playoffs. People look at it as almost a jinx if you swept them in the regular season; it’s as if the law of averages will catch up to you at some point.
The New Jersey Knockouts had beaten the New York Knights twice during the season, but they were not comfortable victories at all. The matches were pretty similar. The Knights used the same lineup both times. Yaacov Norowitz won on board four for them twice, while we beat Pascal Charbonneau and Matt Herman on two and three in both matches, albeit with different players (Dean Ippolito and Boris Gulko, and Victor Shen and Mac Molnar, respectively).
The Knights stuck to their tried and true lineup. Sean Finn was the only available fourth board for us (the kids were all at the World Youth). We seriously considered going with our star, Boris Gulko, on board two, which would have necessitated using Victor on board three. Victor, however, felt he had too much schoolwork and wouldn’t be able to prepare much, if he could play at all. So we went with Dean and Mac.
As in the first two matches, we had no answer for Norowitz, and his win proved the difference as New York nudged us out of the playoffs by a 2 ½-1 ½ score. Herman was able to neutralize Molnar, who fought back from a big time disadvantage but could do no more than equalize. Charbonneau and Ippolito contested an intriguing game with an unusual material balance for most of the way. Mid game, Dean took time out to do a radio interview with New Jersey Twelve. When he came back, Pascal sacrificed his queen for two pieces and two pawns. Dean wasn’t under any attack, but his position lacked any activity or natural plans. I didn’t think we could bank on more than a draw for that one. So for pretty much the whole game I felt I needed to win for the team. I had a couple of opportunities to win (and I could have lost as well), but in the end Kacheishvili and New York got the draw necessary for advancement. The game has been analyzed in a few places online, but I’d like to give the readers my personal take on it.
Before the game started, I began to suffer a few flu-like symptoms. I'm not a hypochondriac, but my son had been diagnosed with swine flu (he's fine now, thanks). So for much of the game I played with a dread that I was on the verge of imminent physical collapse (it turned out to be a false alarm).
While analyzing a game for my "game of the week" ICC program, I learned that this move is a pretty respectable weapon for White. It's a favorite of a lot of the young Russian grandmasters. Do a ChessBase search on Timofeev vs. Bareev and see how many times the veteran Russian grandmaster has been pounded in this opening.
I couldn't find any games where Giorgi faced the Fantasy Variation, so I didn't know what to expect. Only afterwards did I notice that this move is a favorite of Georgian players.
5.Nxe4 is of course possible 5...Bf5 6.c3 Nd7 7.Bd3 leads to more normal play, but it's not what you play 3.f3 to get.
This was a practical decision, given that I had used a huge chunk of time already in the opening.
The simplest solution, sidestepping a beautiful trap I had set: 12...Ke7 13.0–0–0 Nd7 14.Na5 Rb8 15.Ba6!! Nc5 (15...bxa6 16.Nxc6+ followed by Rxd7 winning) 16.Bxb7 Rxb7 17.b4 with a clear advantage for White. This looks like a computer line but I actually saw it during the game!
I thought it was most important to jump on the f-file quickly, so that's why I went kingside.
The more natural 15...Ke7 16.Rf4 Nf6 17.Raf1 is a step slow, though even 17...Nfd7 18.Bxf7 (I was tempted by 18.Rxf7+ Nxf7 19.Rxf7+ Kd6? 20.e5+ Nxe5 21.Ne4#!, but 19...Kd8 might just favor Black) 18...Rhf8 19.Bb3 Rxf4 20.Rxf4 Nc5 is fairly level.
I think this is a real Giorgi move. He wants to defend his weaknesses and have his king in the center for the endgame. But his rooks aren't connected so there will be some tactics. 17…0-0 is a more cautious alternative.
18...Rd2 is a safer path to equality, as White will have a lot less pressure after a rook swap.
Just about forced. 19...Nd6 20.Ne6 and 19...Ke7 20.Nd3 f6 21.Nxe5 fxe5 22.Rf7+ are both quite bad for Black, while 19...Rd7 20.Ne6 Rh8 21.Nc5 Re7 22.Rd2 gives White a firm initiative.
I played this purely to gain time on the clock. At this point I thought Pascal had completely sufficient compensation for the queen, and so we would need a win here to save the match.
Black is better off with the simple 23...h5 24.Nd3 (24.Rc3!? is a try) 24...Nxd3 25.cxd3 Nd6 which may be a hair better for white.
The computer also offers 25.Nh3, which didn't occur to me at the time.
25...Nxd3? 26.cxd3 Rxd3 27.e5 Nf5 28.g4 is not an option.
I spent a bit of time working out 26.Nxe5 Rxe5 27.Rf6 Kd7 28.Rxg6, but Black can instead play 27...Re1+ 28.Kf2 Ne4+ with equality.
26...Re3 27.Rd1 Ke7 28.h3! b6?
Objectively, Black should go for 28...Ne4 29.Nxb7 Re2. He has no direct threats but it might be tricky for White to untangle.
The Internet was abuzz with the problem-like move 30.Be6! which seems to more or less win the game. After 30...Nd3+ 31.cxd3 Re5 32.Nd7 Rxe6 33.Nxf8 Kxf8 34.Rh8+ White should eventually break down Black's defenses. That leaves 30...bxc5 31.Bxf5 Nc4 32.Bxg6 Re6 33.Bh5 Nxb2 34.Rb1 with an advantage comparable to the one I eventually got later—after big mutual errors.
30.Be6 is not an easy move to see, but my plan had been to exploit the rook on e3, and I considered moving another piece to e6, so I really should have found it! Several moves back I had intended 30.Ne6 here, but realized 30...Rxb3 31.Nxf8 Rxb2 just wins for Black. So I grabbed a "safe" move quickly.
This move came as a great shock--somehow the possibility just didn't register in my brain. I realized immediately that I'm in big trouble, and without any time.
I was much more afraid of 35...Nd4+. Black is still better after Giorgi's move, but I can cause a lot more trouble.
This is another step in the wrong direction. 37...Rfe8 38.h4 Re1 still looks pretty good for Black.
I don't know if Giorgi saw he couldn't save this pawn. Now White is much better.
40...Nd6 41.Bc2 c4 42.Rh6+ Ke7 43.Re2+ Kd7 44.h4 c3?!
It seemed like my opponent was disintegrating, but maybe he felt some immediate action was required.
Black has trouble threatening to take on c3 because of Rhxd6, so this didn't look too difficult to win.
Now Black has a threat, and I struggled to find a simple solution.
This is the position to do something. White has a very promising, straightforward continuation: 53.g5 a4 54.Bd5 Rxc3 55.Rxc3 Rxc3 56.Rf6! (56.Rh7 is not as clear because Black has a good resource beginning with 56...Rc5! 57.Ke5 b4 58.Kd4 b3 59.Kxc5 b2 60.Rxf7+ Nxf7 61.Be4 Nxg5 62.Bc2 Nf7 63.Kb4 Kf6 64.Kxa4 Kg5 65.Kb3 Kxh5 66.Kxb2, and you guys can work out if that pawn gets through or not) 56...b4 57.h6 Rh3 58.Ke5 Re3+ 59.Kd4 Rh3 60.Kc5 Rc3+ 61.Kxb4 with a winning position. Just because you’re ahead in material doesn’t mean you should stop pressing your initiative. I don’t know how many times I’ve told that to students!
It makes no sense not to at least wait for a4 before moving the bishop. I don't know what I was thinking. Instead, 54.Rh8+ Kg7 55.Rd8 a4 56.Bc2 was still quite good for White.
This draws immediately, but Black has even better in 54...Kg7 55.g5 Rf5+ 56.Kg4 Rc4+ 57.Kh3 Ne4 and White's position unravels (I didn’t see that at the time either). I saw now that 55.Kf3 Rxc3 gets the pawn back, though even then White can still play on. With my time about to run out, I blew a fuse.
OMG, what have I done?!? I slumped in my chair and waited for the crushing blow...but half a minute went by without a move.
Of course, 55...R6c5+ wins a rook (56.Kh4 Nf5+) or mates 57.Kf6 Rf4++).
I hadn't come down from the shock of blowing the win and the draw in two moves, and then somehow coming back to life. Admittedly, Black hasn't played the best moves since winning the exchange. But 63.h6 should be played here, with some hopes of swindling a point in the time scramble.
I hope readers can appreciate how difficult chess is, when two strong players can make so many mistakes in one game. The USCL is a lot of fun to watch (and kibitz on), so don’t miss the final, played over the Internet Chess Club (ICC) on Monday Dec 7th at 7 pm Eastern time. The New York Knights and the Miami Sharks did not have great regular seasons, but both teams knocked out the top two seeds in their respective divisions and must be considered worthy finalists.

Add support for properly filtering flagged enums.
Vuejs is gaining popularity. A sample on this client technology would be awesome. Or even a Breeze Lab.
Need a clean way to clone, say, an order and its child orderLineItems such that (a) all order values are copied except the id which is new, (b) all child LineItems are copied except they have new ids and their FKs to the parent order are updated to the new parent order id, and (b) the cloned graph entities are in Added state.
See this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20566093/breeze-create-entity-from-existing-one/20579971#20579971) and this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23488573/deep-clone-copy-breeze-entity-and-create-new-entity). See also Breeze Labs "getEntityGraph" which should become part of Breeze core.
Enums that are marked with FlagsAttribute are not properly kept on client side. They are always a string separated by comma ","
Bummer. It should be an array so it would fit nice with ko` checked binding.
Besides it would be much easier to work with them.
They should be serialzed (coerced) with comma when sent to the server only!
Are there any plans to support .Net Core 2.0?
Entity Framework Core has updated functionality I would like to use but as far as I can tell there is no way to retrieve the metadata BreezeJs requires on the front end. EF6 has this ability but I can't find a way to do it with Core. Using an EFContextProvider with a Core DbContext throws a conversion error. Is this due to Core or functionality missing from BreezeJs?
For now I am using a ajax-adapter(https://github.com/jdanyow/aurelia-breeze/blob/master/src/ajax-adapter.js ) from auerlia-breeze in a vuejs app.
But it would be great if fetch was supported out of the box.
I read in the documentation that Firebase was supported. Is there a way to use Breeze JS with Firebase 3?
With POST-Queries all "Any" and "All"-Predicates should use OData syntax for member access!
Message=The child type 'ToOrderKind.Name' in a cast was not an entity type. Casts can only be performed on entity types.
Breeze-Queries with POST-Method (which use JSON-Syntax) should replace "." with "/" in all "Any" and "All"-Predicates automatically. At the moment we have to do this manually.
The online tutorial is broken again.
Just tried and it is not working.
Breeze doesn't seem able to consume the XML metadata from WCF Data Services, it wants it in JSON format. Can't find any good workarounds.
Currently it appears as though all of the unit tests for breeze.js require Visual Studio and an external data source. Similarly to a previous request, mock ajax requests for unit tests in the breeze.js repo. This would make it easier for people to test potential pull requests for breeze.js.

1. Bargaining in the Saudi bazaar: Common ground for a post-2012 climate agreement?
Abstract: Saudi Arabia's interests vis-à-vis international climate policy are fundamentally tied to its ownership of the world's largest proven oil reserves and its political economy, which depends on oil revenues for stability and survival. The 'discrimination' against carbon dioxide and fossil fuels is a recurring theme that reflects the country's disapproval of any constraints on global oil consumption. The Saudi position has evolved around four pillars: preserving oil revenues, receiving compensation for the adverse impacts of climate change mitigation, avoiding commitments, and acquiring technology and capacity for adaptation. Saudi Arabia's influence in the negotiations stems from a long-term strategy of obstructionism, the ultimate aim of which is to prevent an agreement from emerging. The country's status as a developing country is increasingly contested due to its high GDP per capita, while its calls for compensation for losses in oil revenue are strongly criticised, but Saudi Arabia still faces major development challenges, economic diversification being the most pressing. Although Saudi Arabia's position towards adaptation requires adjusting, there are clear points of dialogue with the West, including technology transfer and capacity building.

Professor Fitzgerald runs a substantive research program across both MAPrc and Epworth Clinic with a team of over 40 researchers. We use brain stimulation and neuroimaging techniques including transcranial magnetic stimulation, functional and structural MRI, EEG and near infrared spectroscopy.
The primary focus of this program is on the development of new brain stimulation based treatments for psychiatric disorders. There is a special focus on severe or treatment resistant depression but treatments are also being investigated in other disorders including schizophrenia, obsessive- compulsive disorder, chronic pain, PTSD, Alzheimer’s disease and autism spectrum disorders. Researchers within the team have conducted over 15 clinical trials.
Treatments which have been developed or investigated within our research group include repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), magnetic seizure therapy (MST) and deep brain stimulation (DBS). This program of research includes developing and improving methods of treatment application and the conduct of clinical trials.
In support of the development of new treatments, our research is also focused on the conduct of investigative studies of brain function & dysfunction in these disorders. These studies aim to better characterise brain changes underlying the symptoms of psychiatric disorders to directly improve the application of novel therapies. These studies will hopefully also lead to the identification of biological markers or predictors of response to treatment.
In addition, our research group aims to develop and improve the devices used for characterising brain abnormalities or used in the application of brain stimulation. We work with a number of commercial partners and have developed designs for novel brain stimulation related devices which are currently under development.
Professor Fitzgerald has published over 380 papers in a range of peer reviewed journals. He has received project grant funding from the NHMRC, ARC as well as a number of US based and local funding organisations. He has been supported by three consecutive NHMRC Practitioner Fellowship awards.
Professor Fitzgerald is currently psychiatric deputy editor for the journal ‘Brain Stimulation’ and is on the Editorial Board of the ‘Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry’. He is currently a committee member for the Electroconvulsive Therapy and Neurostimulation Section with The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, and serves on the board of directors for Neurosciences Victoria. He is also a founder and the Medical Director of TMS Australia (www.tmsaustralia.com.au).

This is an interesting thread. Afrikaners are also very conservative.
People who move seem to be more religious, the Scots who moved to Northern Ireland are way more Conservative too.
Wouldn't this topic apply to all Americans with Northern European backgrounds? Even British.
My own family came over from the UK centuries ago so I have no idea how they originally were or how the UK was back then, but most are conservative. I have Scandinavian relatives who grew up in Scandinavia in the 20th century and they're ultra-conservative.
Maybe it's (1) self-selection plus (2) leaving the "homeland" when it was different than it is today plus (3) having different experiences in the US versus back in the "homeland".
All Euro Americans and more conservative than their cousins that stayed in Europe. Probably the people who left were more restless individualistic. I'd guess British Americans are the most conservative rather than Dutch, German, etc.
I'm interested in any replies, because, now that I come to think of it, the Dutch Americans I know (those who actually emigrated from the Netherlands and their first-generation children, not Americans with distant Dutch ancestry) are all staunch Protestant conservatives. I don't know how they vote.
There is a reason/link why they left their liberal land and vote conservative now.
Don't know why you're shocked, but the two South African families I know personally (people who left South Africa in the 1990s) are VERY conservative.
Many ultra-religious people from all over Europe immigrated to the US because of the freedom of religion which was not prevalent in Europe at the times. Thus, many of these immigrants were not mainstream Catholic or Protestant. That could be a reason why many times white Americans are more conservative than their European counterparts. Groups like Amish, Mennonites and many Evangelical churches hardly exist any more in Europe.
I'm shocked, because someone's comparing conservative Americans to Boers!!
The SA escapees I know, all single women, are liberal and wonderful. They say, that not only was the regime brutal toward the Native population, it was brutal toward women as well. Well, not on a policy level, but domestic violence was common.
My history high school teacher explained to us that the less tolerant people were kicked out of europe, and once they settled on the east coast, the less tolerant people of the new amercans were kicked out and moved to the midwest, where the less tolerant of the remaining people were kicked out to finally settle in places like Utah or other remote areas where they could bother no one else.
That probably explains the different attitudes between euros and their american counterparts.
This jibes with info I'd found, when researching genealogy. I was surprised at the time, because you never hear about this in history classes, usually (you had a good teacher!), but the first arrival of my grandmother's lineage, to the early colony, was said to be a Puritan, and he was run out of town, or out of the settlement, for that. Thanks for posting this nugget of info.

The college bribery scandal is one of the crazier stories to break in a long time, and it has as many layers as the paint on the wall of an old house. The amounts paid out were huge — $500,000 by actress Lori Loughlin to get her two daughters into USC. The lack of oversight in athletic departments was also appalling; the University of Texas tennis coach was fired for taking bribes to provide athletic scholarships to kids who didn’t play tennis. Uh, didn’t anyone notice?
What really stands out, however, is the futility of it all. You really don’t need a degree from Harvard or Yale to succeed in life. Study after study, expert after expert has said that a good education at a much affordable institution (like, ahem, Lamar University) will serve you just as well as a sheepskin from an Ivy League giant. And it does matter. The U.S. Department of Education said that in 2015, adults with bachelor’s degrees earned an average of $48,500 a year, as compared to $23,900 for high school graduates.
Granted, if you’re rich and you can get Timmy or Susie into Harvard, it won’t hurt them. That instant name recognition will at least get them their first job, but most of them will have to rely on their talent and perseverance afterward. New hires have to adapt to their workplace culture, figure out what the boss wants done, and do it. If they want to get promoted, they will have to do it better than their co-workers.
A fancy degree does not guarantee this. If anything, a spoiled kid who thinks he’s got it made because of that distinguished institution could set off warning signals at interviews that shout, “Don’t hire me!” Graduates like that will not work as hard as they need to, which is pretty hard at any company that’s serious about its profits, which is most of them.
The education available at many lesser-known, more affordable colleges — whether in business, medicine, engineering or law — is virtually the same as the one you get at Big Name U. Lamar has a list of highly successful grads in many fields (several are mentioned below) that would cover this page.
The famous debt-reduction guru Dave Ramsey preaches this often on his national radio show. He has hired hundreds of college graduates for very demanding, well-paying jobs. He doesn’t care where they got their degree from, and certainly never hired one because of the college name on the diploma.
In an interview, he and other employers are looking at the young man or woman sitting in front of them, going over their resume and life story, sizing them up, trying to figure out if they will work hard and well for them.
The lesson that Ramsey and other smart people teach is that young people should not go into huge debt for college, and preferably no debt at all. If you doubt this advice, consider that the biggest problem for young graduates is — surprise — student-loan debt.
Some millennials have debts of $150,000 or even higher when they start working. But for a very few careers that guarantee big salaries, that burden can’t be managed. For most people, it means a long, hard slog of paying back Sallie Mae while also trying to buy a home and start a family.
At schools like Lamar, graduates can leave with student-loan debt about the price of a new car. Those grads are just as well equipped for a bright future as the Yalies, and they can knock out their debt in five years or so instead of carrying it into their 30s or 40s.
It should also go without saying that if you’re going to get a four-year degree, it should be in a field that will produce a reasonable paycheck. Going into debt for a degree that won’t benefit you much is doubly stupid.
Pick that major carefully. The best investment you will ever make is an education that provides a good income, and you don’t have to pay bribes to go to Harvard to get it.

For my Matric Formal, I had a specific image in mind of how I wanted to look. I surfed the posts on Pinterest looking for the ideal accessories that would match my dress and eventually I stumbled upon Forever 21’s American website. I vaguely remembered that a Forever 21 store had opened in The Mall of Africa and not soon after I was on my way to visit them. My whole experience with Forever 21 was almost perfect. I found the exact jewellery I had in mind along with a clutch bag that matched my shoes perfectly. I was impressed by basically all their fashion accessories and was shocked at how affordable they were. I still continue to wear the jewellery I bought on an everyday basis and couldn’t be happier. The only thing that would make me like them more is if they conveniently opened a store in Menlyn or somewhere in the Pretoria area.

Three Malian soldiers were killed in a restive central region overnight when their vehicle hit a landmine, sources said Thursday.
The blast happened on the road between Djoungani and Koro, near the frontier with Burkina Faso, a Malian military source said.
“There were three fatalities and four other soldiers were wounded,” the source said, adding that reinforcements had been sent to the area.
A local official confirmed the toll and described the blast as “the work of terrorists,” a term typically used to refer to Islamist militants.
Mali has been plagued by violence since 2012, when Tuareg separatists staged an uprising in the north, which was then exploited by jihadists to take over key cities in the region.
The militants were largely driven out in a French-led military operation in 2013.
But despite a 2015 peace agreement between the government, pro-government groups and former rebels, large stretches of Mali remain out of control.
In a report in September, the UN said it had recorded 42 attacks by improvised explosive devices over the previous three months. More than a third of these occurred in central Mali.

Ruby the puppy has a story that has touched the hearts of many. When she was just a few months old, the lives of her owner and canine sibling were sadly taken during a house fire in Blakely, Georgia. Many assumed she had perished too, but two days later as residents were clearing the remnants from the fire, Ruby emerged.
While she survived, she was not unscathed. Ruby had third-degree burns on her legs and stomach area, and it is believed that she ran through the fire to escape. After traveling to an Alabama rescue group for care, she made her way to Suncoast Animal League in Palm Harbor, Florida. A group of firefighters from Palm Harbor Fire Rescue (PHFR) met her there and it was love at first sight.
On October 12, she received her badge during her oath-of-office ceremony and became an official member of the Palm Harbor Fire Rescue team. By all accounts and Palm Harbor Fire Rescue’s Facebook, she has been settling in wonderfully and has even gone to a sleepaway dog training camp to master her firehouse dog skill set.
Palm Harbor Fire Rescue, Palm Harbor residents and Facebook fans are not the only people feeling inspired by Ruby’s story. Online pet retailer, Chewy, took notice of her amazing courage and perseverance and wanted to treat her to something a little special.
Chewy sent little Ruby a fire hydrant filled with dog toys and dog treats as well as a personalized card and a lovely pet portrait. Needless to say, this pup is definitely one appreciated furry family member.
Check out the Palm Harbor Fire Rescue Facebook page to keep up with her adventures! She is currently solving a crime about a missing pie.

What is the best measurement transmitter for level measurement in cryogenic tanks?.
Good question about cryogenic level measurement! So, most applications hold liquids with below-freezing boiling points, such as nitrogen and methane, in thermally insulated vertical tanks. Still, the tank will always have a gas pressure head for the liquid vapor. Also, these fluids have low oxygen permeability, or Dk values, which make radar devices a poor choice.
Differential pressure transmitters can compensate for the vapor pressure head and measure the level accurately. Also, wet or dry legs with some slant will help reduce turbulence from boiling and condensing outside the insulation. If you use wet legs, then you should use liquids with low freezing points.
Is the DP level transmitter the radar solution when implementing a DP level transmitter?

Despite failed trials, Big Pharma continues to invest heavily in ‘cures’ that may not do anything but worsen the disease.
For instance, trials of Eli Lilly’s gamma-secretase inhibitor, semagacestat (LY450139), were halted due to below par results. Later, despite reports that results of solanezumab, a neuroprotector that binds to plaque and inhibits its formation, were positive, the company said that it was not going to the FDA for approval, but will conduct a third Phase III trial. The company has already failed three times at creating a “inhibitor that would address this disease effectively.
In 2011, Bristol-Myers Squibb tried to develop a gamma-secretase inhibitor (BMS-708163. Test results were less than promising.
In 2012, Pfizer announced that it was abandoning further development of intravenous formulations of bapineuzumab, an anti-amyloid antibody, after the failure of its Phase II study.
In 2013, Baxter International reported that its immune-bolstering treatment had ended in a failure after trying to create a drug called Gammagard out of components of the human immune system. It also failed at removing amyloid plaques from the brain.
A new study looks at intracranial calcifications in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. After noticing that the brain’s primary structures were negatively affected by calcification, namely the pineal gland, habenula, choroids plexus, superior sagittal sinus, basal ganglia, falx, dura mater, and tentorium cerebelli, as well as the petroclinoid ligaments, a promising new hypothesis was formed.
Alzheimer’s patients had highly calcified pineal glands, as do two-thirds of the adult population, and a likely cause of this calcification is fluoride.
“Fluoride is likely to cause decreased melatonin production and to have other effects on normal pineal function, which in turn could contribute to a variety of effects in humans.” (National Research Council 2006).
Alzheimer’s disease patients are commonly deficient in melatonin levels, likely due to the inability of their pineal gland to produce adequate quantities. The pineal gland is responsible for regulating melatonin and seratonin, which are precursors to N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT. Melatonin is secreted at night and our pineal gland is aided in this process by sleeping in complete darkness, which is how melatonin production is best synthesized. Our endogenous melatonin levels usually peak around 2 AM, and ceases when the sun comes up.
By the time most people are 17 years old, their pineal glands are calcified, thus greatly reducing this gland’s ability to create melatonin. Their pineal glands will often appear as a lump of calcium during a magnetic resonance scan. Calcification is the buildup of calcium phosphate crystals in various parts of the body, a natural process caused primaily by nanobacteria.
Nanobacteria are tiny microorganisms that form calcium phosphate shells around themselves, essentially to protect themselves from your immune system. It appears from the latest research that this may be the cause of much of disease. From arthritis, to stroke, from cancer to back pain – and now Alzheimer’s disease.
“Fluoride does not accumulate in brain. Of all tissues, brain has the lowest fluoride concentration [Jenkins, 1991; Whitford, 1996; Ekstrand, 1996]. It is generally agreed that the blood-brain barrier restricts the passage of fluoride into the central nervous system. The human pineal gland is outside the blood-brain barrier [Arendt, 1995].
In fact, Alzheimer’s patients have been observed to have a higher degree of pineal gland calcification than patients with other types of dementia, and sleep disturbances have been identified as a primary cause of Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis, due to the fact that wakefulness increases the the toxic Alzheimer’s disease associated brain protein — amyloid-β (Aβ), known as amyloid plaques – and sleep reduces Aβ. Melatonin has also been known to inhibit the progression of Aβ brain pathology as well as the formation of Aβ protein itself.
So while pharmaceutical companies spend billions on ways to stop amyloid plaque buildup, they aren’t looking at the root cause of the calcification of the pineal gland which inhibits melatonin production, which is the body’s own natural way to inhibit amyloid plaques.
Reduce halides – These come in the form of fluoride, chlorine, and bromide, all of which come into your body primarily through the water you drink and bathe in. Install a water purification system. Drink only de-chlorinated and de-fluorinated water.
Remove pesticides, fungicides, and mercury (from toxic fish primarily), and other toxins from your diet.
Only purchase organic, non-GMO foods – It is no mistake that Monsanto and companies like it have invested so heavily in keeping you ‘unrealized.’ Not only do GMO foods cause cancer, but they inhibit the functioning of the pineal gland.
Cease the use of sugar, caffeine, and alcohol – They impede the pineal gland’s functioning and add to its calcification.
Reduce refined starches – Instead, eat complex starches like brown rice or spelt flour.
Reduce stress – Cortisol and Adrenaline, as well as other hormones that are created by the adrenal glands when you are stressed, can interfere with melatonin and serotonin, the sister hormones to DMT, or the pineal elixir that helps us wake up.
Stop Smoking – Tobacco smoke is toxic for the body in general, but has extremely detrimental effects on pineal health. This is true of marijuana as well.
Drugs like cocaine, heroine, etc. [and many pharmaceuticals] cause the pineal gland to falter.
Eat raw cacao – or dark chocolate – Chocolate in its pure form can help to decalcify the pineal gland.
Consume neem extract – Neem is one of India’s super herbs. It has been used for thousands of years and purifies almost every system of the body.
Reduce meat and dairy consumption.
Reduce acidic beverages like soda and energy drinks (also due to sugar and caffeine content).
You can also add spirulina, chlorella, and wheat grass to your diet, which greatly enhance the decalcification of the pineal gland.
As of May 2000, 42 of the 50 largest U.S. cities had water fluoridation. On January 25, 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan became the first community in the United States to fluoridate its drinking water to prevent tooth decay.
Umm…that’s their job. How else would they make any money if the disease is cured? Hence, why they give you a drug that cures one thing and gives you two or three other things. Gotta feed the Big Pharma beast.

Even after a half century of work in the radio and podcasting business, PodcastOne CEO Norm Pattiz is still looking for his next crowning achievement: the second podcast boom, which Pattiz estimates will take place in the next few years and make podcasting a multibillion-dollar industry.
“There’s going to be a point, when podcasts become a line item in overall media budgets and plans. That’s when you’ll see the business really explode,” Pattiz told TheWrap.
Pattiz founded the podcast network PodcastOne in 2013 with a focus on celebrity or influencer podcasts. Some of its first podcasts were hosted by former WWE wrestler “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and former NBA All-Star Shaquille O’Neal.

Dark Day Productions bought youtube views to improve the natural, organic growth of their channel. By initially inflating their view count, their videos appeared more inviting to viewers. By buying thousands of views, they propelled their videos to the front page of YouTube and high rankings in search results for their keyword.
Think about it! It just makes sense. If an individual sees one music videos with 10,000 views and one with 10 views, the video with the higher views appears more interesting. If few people view a video, it is commonplace to assume that it is not worth the time to watch. Buying views are meant to attract more real viewers. Increasing the view count attracts new viewers and as a result organically grow the view count with real people.
The revenue stream can be monumental when your video reaches top rankings. Statistics indicate that the top earning channels are bringing in six-figure incomes annually. It all started for these high earners with one video that hit the top. Buying youtube views are practical to give your video a chance to get before an audience.

Punalur railway station is located at Nedumkayam, Punalur, Kollam district on the Kollam–Sengottai branch line. The Kollam–Shencottah railway line is the first railway line in erstwhile Travancore state and is more than a century old.
It is an NSG 6 category station.The Kollam–Sengottai section is part of the Kollam–Chennai metre gauge rail route commissioned by the British during 1904. The line which was metre gauge has been converted to broad gauge partially and completion is nearing. Currently the railway line is operational between Kollam Junction and Punalur.
The first idea of rail link from Tirunelveli to Kollam which was the trading capital of the Travancore Kingdom was conceived in 1873. The line was sanctioned by the Madras Presidency in 1899 and the survey was completed in 1900.The railway line was built jointly by South Indian railway, Travancore state and Madras Presidency.It was the ruler's desire to create a rail link between Kollam, the then commercial capital of his State and Madras. The meter gauge line from Kollam to Punalur was inaugurated by on 1 June 1904. The Punalur–Sengottai railway line was inaugurated on 26 November 1904.The construction of the meter gauge rail route between Kollam–Punalur and Punalur–Shenkottai (Ghats Section) along the scenic mountain terrain was started in 1873 by the British engineers and was completed in 1902. Travancore rulers in association with the British prepared the plan for the track through the challenging mountain terrain as it involved construction of long arch bridges over steep valleys and tunnels across the rocky mountains of Western Ghats.
The first goods train travelled on this route in 1902 and a train carrying its first passengers began its run in 1904. It makes for a thrilling train journey as it passes over five big bridges and hundreds of tiny ones while negotiating mountain streams and valleys. Passengers are also treated to a breath–taking view of the Western Ghats. The train also passes through five tunnels on this stretch, including the one–kilometer long tunnel between Bhagawathipuram and Arayankavu. The station at Punalur was equipped with locomotive service centre, Parcel and Timber Depot, Train parking bays, Storage Tanks for water and oil, etc. The scenic Punalur–Shencotta railway lies across the western ghats, providing a valuable link across the southern states. The journey through the western ghats is incredible.
The station has three platforms, of which two are functional. It also has five tracks used for passenger and shunting purpose.
The Punalur-Sengottai section is part of the 325 kilometres (202 mi) Kollam-Sengottai-Tenkasi-Tirunelveli-Thiruchendur gauge conversion project and part of the Tenkasi-Virudhunagar trunk route to Chennai at an estimate of ₹320 crore (US$45 million). The gauge conversion of the Thiruchendur-Sengottai section has been completed and is open to traffic. In Kollam Junction-Shenkottai section the broad gauge conversion is finished between Kollam and Punalur. The conversion work on Punalur-Shenkottai ghat section is on progress. Once the conversion is over this will serve as the shortest rail-route from Kochi port to Tuticorin port. Infrastructure of the station will be changed as proposed in tune with handling demands and matching to the glory of past.
The Kollam Junction -Punalur meter gauge railway line to broad gauge conversion works foundation stone was laid in 1998 at Punalur. Services on the Punalur-Kollam metre gauge section were withdrawn on 1 May 2007, to facilitate the gauge conversion work. The gauge conversion took almost 11 years to complete after the foundation stone was laid. The 44 kilometres (27 mi) line was converted to broad gauge and inaugurated on 10 May 2010. Express and Passenger train services connecting Punalur to Chennai, Tirunelveli Junction, Palakkad Junction, Kollam Junction, Madurai, Guruvayur and Kanyakumari are currently operational in this route.
A new railway line is proposed from Sabarimala to Thiruvananthapuram via Punalur. If this proposed Sabarimala Railway is connected to proposed new railway terminal at Nemom near Thiruvananthapuram via Nedumangad, several long distance trains are supposed to be operated from Nemom terminal via Punalur to Chennai/Bangalore and rest of country. DEMU (Diesel Multiple Unit) service would be launched in Kollam-Punalur section soon. Rail Electrification between Kollam Punalur section sanctioned in the 2016 railway Budget. New Express trains connecting Ernakulam to Velankanni, Ernakulam to Thoothukudi, Manglore to Thoothukudi, Guruvayur to Rameshwaram, Karaikkal to Kochuveli, Nizamuddin to Kochuveli and Bangalore to Kochuveli is also proposed in this route, waiting for RB approval.
