Q: How can I reduce the number of source blocks I use? I have a sample From To Table that shows how many agents are supposed to move from the conveyors (Left Column) to their stations (Tow Row) in 1 hour. I will be using this sheet as a database which my model can refer to.
Right now, I have 3 sources for each blue, red and lime conveyors with 3 separate events calling these sources to generate a constant number of agents according to the From To Table. Take the blueConveyor for example, 6 blue units will be generated (1 goes to blue Station. 3 goes to red Station and 2 goes to lime Station).

If I were to scale my table up to 30x30, I would require 30 source blocks and 30 events which will get rather messy. Might there be a better way?

A: There are too many things you have to do here to achieve your goal:
1) create a population of agents called conveyorAgents loaded from your database. Each agent will have parameters blue, red, lime and its name (blueConveyor for example)
2) each conveyorAgent will have a population of sources equal to the number of rate columns in your table (3 in this case for blue, red and lime) (I am assuming that your number of rows is always equal to your number of columns)

3) create a collection of events... the easiest way to do that is to create another population of agents in your conveyor agent.. each one will have an even that will control the source in question and will have the following action:
conveyorAgent.source.get(getIndex()).inject(1);

CONCLUSION
All this is just a guidance on how to do it... I am not putting all the details but it should be enough to get started with

Q: Using Castle ActiveRecord to query from multiple tables So I've been using Castle ActiveRecord for my latest project and for the most part I like it a lot. Now I'm trying to figure out how to execute a simple join query with AR and I'm not seeing it.
So I have an Article table and an article could have many tags associated to it. This is the attribute in the Article class:
[HasAndBelongsToMany(typeof(Tag), Table="ArticleTags", ColumnKey="ArticleID", ColumnRef="TagID")]
    public IList<Tag> Tags {
            get
            {
                return m_tagList;
            }
            set
            {
                m_tagList = value;
            }
    }

There's a Tag class that contains the name and ID of the tag. There's the required bridge/association table which AR can handle without an explicit class.
So now I just want to get all articles that have a given tag name. Thus far, I haven't figured how to do that in AR. The SQL is easy. Trying to reproduce for AR, not so much.
Any help here would be much appreciated.

A: Well, shortly after posting this, I found my answer.
I used a DetachCriteria object and then put that into my Article.SlicedFindAll() function.
Here's the code.
DetachedCriteria query = DetachedCriteria.For<Article>()
            .CreateCriteria("Tags")
                .Add(Expression.Eq("Name", tag));

Spent all afternoon on this. sigh

The Perfect Pear: Pita Chips!
During the summer I love to snack. Keeping it light, fresh and healthy makes my summer that much better, which is why I loooove pita chips! Add some salsa or some chip dip and you're golden! These pita chips are the bomb, use hardly any ingredients (bonus!) and are beyond delicious!
I'll first tell you that I didn't measure anything! :) We're letting the chips fall where they may!
Step Six: Let them cool and eat! yum, yum!
Very simple and yummy! How awesome with some homemade hummus or guacamole!


Update: After performing our tests and posting this review, it has come to our attention that the board did not use the final production BIOS. This, combined with forthcoming improvements to Blu-ray playback software, may make a marked difference in our test results. Intel's product engineer Aaron Brezenski recently blogged about how the board still suffers from immature software. With this in mind, we will monitor the software situation and may re-test the board in the near future.
It's no secret that we're not big fans of integrated graphics solutions. You know, the graphics built into a lot of the low-cost motherboards (and even some of the high-end models), where you plug your monitor right into the back plane and don't need a graphics card.
Integrated graphics just don't perform well enough to be used for "real" gaming (that is, stuff beyond simple Web-based flash games and the like). Intel, Nvidia, and AMD/ATI all make integrated graphics solutions, and while Intel's are the most popular in the marketplace, they're also our least favorite—often slower than the others, with common driver issues that cause games to look wrong or not run at all.
Integrated graphics have their place, though. If you're building a home theater PC or just a plain business box—they'll get the job done. You can save a few bucks and a few watts of power utilization using integrated graphics, and if the IG you have does a good job with video processing, that can be all you need to put together a pretty good home theater PC.

Aarrgghh. Treasures in this town are so easy to find. Yesterday was the special Noel shopping day and night in what people here lik to call Mid Town, an upcoming part in town that had to do away with its' old name of Cass Corridor because that reminds too many of the not so beautiful last twenty years. The organizing body for the Noel Day Midtown Detroit's University Cultural Center put quite some energy in having the market succeed.
And it did. The streets were busting with people. Not so common here, as you'd imagined by now. When I spoke to someone waiting at the take away Chinese later on that eve, he just said: "Wow, to see people on the street. That made me think of years gone by. And you don't know half how happy it made me seeing our pavements all used for what they are intended for: walking people." So I suppose the day was a success.
But as you all know that in days of success you happen to have those very special moments. The uber success. While following one of the Detroit's marching bands performing on the street I passed yet another second hand store on Hancock Street. Now there's plenty more of second hand shops, be it for clothing, for house materials, or for records. This one looked liked it was for clothing, but they did have some records in there as well. So, logically, I stepped in. Then it turned out they didn't have a few records, they had a dollar dungeon filled with the best sorted jazz and soul collection I'd seen here.
Owner Jim and employee Lerrol took their time for a little talk. They explained me the shop wasn't the main income for Jim, however the parttime job has to provide for Lerrol. That the shop wasn't that known in Detroit itself [whereas the record shops in Hamtramck are heralded all over the local media], but that they do attract visitors all the way down from Japan and Germany and England. The 45's collection of Northern Soul is well worth that visit apparently. But what struck me most and really took the guys in for me was that they weren't doing the selling for themselves; profits are all donated to an invisible group in town: the retarded. Once a year Jim told me, they even do organise an outdoor concert where local bands donate their time for a over enthusiastic audience. An audience which also climbs the stage to perform themselves. And so Jim said "We have had blind singers climbing the stage. We have had tough cases shining all over when singing on stage." Now stories like these are exactly why Detroit is in my heart. It has nothing to do with the upcoming Cork nor Midtowns – it has to do with regular people taking care of eachother. Sharing life. Sharing stories. If only all could be so simple.
And that it is not that simple always is proven in the stories of the Detroit blogger John Carlisle. His book 313 is by far the most insightful book on Detroit bottom up that I have read. No stories on government, no stories on companies, no none of that. John went out to meet some of the special characters living in this town, listening to their stories, and then writing them down in a tender way. It made me laugh a lot as well.

Identifying the Core Relapse Pattern and Understanding Its Nature
By Michael Naylor, M.ED, CCS, LADC, CCPC, ET
Reprinted with permission from the May-June 2010 Nine Points Magazine, a bimonthly publication of the International Enneagram Association.
I have worked in the Addictions field for over 25 years. During those years several patterns have revealed themselves. There are three. The first I have observed time and time again. A man comes into residential treatment, gets sober for 90 days, is feeling better than ever, and a day later has returned to addiction hell. Presto, change, gone! In the wake of feeling a surge of well being, he took, or was taken by a back door exit. This happens repeatedly. The second story is that of a man (or woman) who gets sober for two to five years, appears to have stabilized their lives, and then relapses and disappears into the folds of addiction. And this pattern: a man is sober twenty plus years and the next day news says he's suicided, or like the others, relapsed and disappeared from sight. (The story on suicide is a hugely under-reported phenomenon in addiction recovery especially after significant periods of clean time.)
In response to these tragedies the addiction world has responded through a variety of means. One is to try to help individuals understand what are called 'relapse triggers,' or those circumstances internal and external that make an individual go 'blind' to the hell that awaits them if they use their substance of choice. The hope is that individuals will 'notice' when their relapse triggers, and their 'addiction' has been triggered and awakened before they pick up the substance of their doom. The warning attached to the triggering of one's inner 'addict' is "Beware of euphoric recall." When an individual becomes addicted to drugs he develops a crafty inner demon, his own 'inner addict' who appears to be hardwired to tempting him back to his addiction. At various times, in the midst of success or the midst of sorrow, a film clip begins to play in his mind-stream reminding him of the very best times in his substance using, and deletes all the scenes reflecting the horror and sorrow. This inner movie can be so compelling that in the midst of success an individual abandons all of his good work and jumps headlong back into the swamp he arose from. The question is "What turns this movie on?"
Within recovery circles, be it Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous, the refrain often heard when someone relapses could be "Well, he wasn't going to enough meetings," or "He wasn't working the steps," or "He wasn't working with a sponsor" or "He just didn't want it bad enough," or "He took his will back," or "He isolated and stopped coming to meetings." But the truth is, the best of the best, those who had been the leaders in recovery circles, relapse and die and suicide. They disappear and are gone and no one understands why. What remains in the psychic atmosphere of recovery circles is pure shock. "How could this possibly happen?" is the deep question and plea.
Utilizing the knowledge of the Enneagram could have profound positive effects on these shocking events. What everyone in addiction recovery learns sooner or later is that after their substance abuse is halted they are left with 'themselves' and all the issues that drove their addiction (This does not mean the 'issues' caused the addiction. That's another story.) That is, they are face to face with their personality, their Enneagram Type. If they are able to clearly understand their personality type with its particular nuances and features they will be able to begin to understand the driving engine that takes them back to their self-destruction, and how to transform their personality habits such that what is best in them can arise. At the very least, the key fundamental "relapse pattern" that underlies all addiction relapses will be seen. What causes addiction relapse? Well, the short and long of it is everything and nothing. It can look like its emotional suffering, or heartbreak, disappointment, boredom, unhappiness, long term loss of identity, success, more success, falling in love, being around drugs, wanting to feel good, not wanting to be lonely, hoping for better sex, failure, divorce, marriage, deep spiritual moments, a sunny day, a rainy day, you name it. All external symptoms and events on the surface of the real issues: the lack of awareness on the part of the individual as they navigate their daily life with its ups and downs. What individuals don't tend to understand is the unique set of relapse triggers that exist for each Enneagram Type, which describes the major inner dynamics that an individual will wage spiritual war with throughout their sobriety. I have met the enemy and it is "I." Understand this and the story of relapse prevention will get crystal clear. Not meaning that it will be solved, but the odds will go up enormously in favor of success.
Essential Psychic Structure of Each Type
Don Riso and Russ Hudson have made a significant contribution to understanding the psychological dynamics and growth patterns of the types. In their work they identify the essential psychic structures of each type: The Basic Desire (what the individual wishes for because they have lost contact with it), Basic Fear (what the individual is driven to avoid at all costs because it reminds them of suffering they have already experienced as children), the passion or vice (the emotional habit the individual developed in response to closing down their heart and abandoning their true self) the mental fixation (or habit of mind that supports an individual in staying disconnected from themselves, others, and reality, and keeps them locked in repetitious suffering), the Inner Critic message (how an individual is compelled to judge themselves causing repetitious suffering), the Self-Concept (what an individual tries to be for others to suppress their own suffering).
The Type Two's Basic Challenge
Let's take a look at the Type Two. Their basic desire is to feel love, to be at one with love, or to be a source of love in the world. Their basic fear is of being loveless, that there is no love to be had. We call the Type Two the Helper, and she is driven by the conundrum of her basic desire and fear depending on her level of health. The healthier she is the lighter she will hold these desires and fears. But the unhealthier she is the more they will rule and run her blindly, she a puppet on their string. Riso and Hudson qualify this through their Levels of Development which they divide into nine Levels. Levels 1-3 are the healthy levels, and here, due to inner work or an extremely healthy childhood the Type Two is in contact with her loving nature, rejoices in it, shares it when appropriate, is generous, kind, creative, empathic, nurturing to self and others. Level 4-6 is called the average levels where most of humanity resides. It is here that the individual has lost contact with her deeper nature and is now driven by the engine of her basic desire and fear. The Two, feeling that there is no love in the world, tries to manufacture love through her loving acts. This intensification of effort to prove her lovingness and to create love around her increases when she moves down the Levels of health. This descent down the Levels reflects her deeper disconnection with herself and reality due to the undigested suffering she has experienced or is experiencing. Level 7-9, the Unhealthy range, describes the continued descent into illusion and mental illness.
When Mary, a 25 year old woman struggling with alcohol addiction, entered treatment she easily identified herself as a Type Two. "I give until it hurts, and then I give some more." In treatment she begins to see the trap of her personality. Each time it comes to identifying her need for help, she immediately begins talking about her boyfriend, a struggling heroin addict, and what he needs for support. "He's such a good guy and suffers so much. It's not fair." With kindness and support I remind her that her attention has moved to her boyfriend when asked about what she needs. She smiles, a trace of embarrassment flashing in her eyes. "It's okay," I say, "No need to get down on yourself. The mental habit of the Two is to think of others even when they need to be thinking of themselves. Many Twos report that when they think of their needs they feel selfish and unlovable." She smiles again. "I don't know if I can stop that. I think about him all the time. I'm not really sure I know how to think about myself. It seems like he needs a lot of help." I reassure her. "It won't happen overnight, but every time you can gently notice that you've moved your attention from your needs to his, from your life concerns and priorities to his, this will start to weaken the habit. As you know, people get sober who learn how to ask for help and receive help, and as a Two, this may feel like an impossible task. Right now you're just trying to learn when and how you forget to notice and identify your primary needs, and instead focus on helping another. It will take time but it's definitely learnable.
When individuals enter addiction recovery they are typically experiencing life at Level 6 or 7. For the Type Two it means that she will be gripped by the her basic fear that she is unlovable, and unwanted, and that she must do something to change this immediately. Her entire sense of self-worth hedges on being seen as the loving one, acting as the loving one, and becoming indispensable to someone, which drives her to focus on another and completely loss contact with herself. This suffering is so acute that she can barely comprehend it (this is the nature of life at the lower levels, we are driven by feelings that are unconscious to us), except as a feeling of terrible loneliness and emptiness, which propels her into immediate action. She will be driven by the emotional passion of the Two, pride. This pride shows up in her as "I don't need anything, but I can see that you have needs which I can help you with." That is, her ability to sense her own needs disappears in this emotional habit. In addition, her mental fixation, ingratiation, will function such that she is wired to be always thinking of ways she can help those she loves or wants to love, or such that she is often drawn to over-complimenting others to endear them to her, or to at least to insure she will not be abandoned by them. This is the machine of her personality, and it is alive and kicking at Level 6 and 7, with little room for 'her' to show up. Add to this her Inner Critic message: "I'm good or okay if I am loved by others and close to them." (Meaning I can't hurt or upset or inconvenience anyone or I'm bad and unlovable.)
As Mary learns to ask for help, she notices that the help she receives, be it attention, compassion, loving suggestions, makes her feel selfish, which she can't bear it for very long. "I feel so selfish when I receive anything. Like I'm a greedy person. I should be helping instead of asking for help! I see what he needs, why shouldn't I help!" When the utmost gentleness she is reminded that she is two weeks sober and her life in desperate straits. She begins to see that in same breath that she receives help, she immediately starts planning how to help her boyfriend, when she is only barely surviving herself. This mechanism is fast and swift, mostly invisible to Mary, and with many patient reminders she will begin to see the mechanism at work and the underlying feelings driving the habit: her conviction that she is not lovable or wanted. It first arises as a compelling need to help another and to avoid the feelings of being selfish, and with time she will feel the core issue: I am unlovable and unwanted. The quick turn of attention to her boyfriend diverts the harsh sting of feeling unlovable, or being selfish. This habit has been her survival for enduring intractable suffering in her life.
See if you can grasp the psychological prison she is in. There is no love so I must create it. I'm not really wanted so I must make myself indispensable. I'm bad if others get mad at me, don't love me and don't want to be with me. I can't sense my needs because I only see yours, which means I can't experience lasting happiness or peace unless you are happy with me. I'm on empty all the time trying to fill myself with you. I can't love others enough to get rid of the nagging feeling I'm not wanted." This is the machine that runs her addiction to drugs, or to people. This is her relapse trigger. The belief and feeling that "I'm not loved, there is no love, I must produce the love" will be there throughout her recovery. It will be touched over and over again at deeper levels. It may arise after moments of great love and joy, or at the end of a romantic relationship. But arise it will.
As Mary continues her treatment, her boyfriend breaks up with her. In less than a week she has found another 'love', someone she really cares about. Like a homing pigeon she has found a temporary home in another needy soul. As she learns to observe this process with compassion she will slowly sense the suffering of her basic fear: being without love. As she learns to bear this feeling rather than transform it into another action of fear-driven kindness towards another, she will begin grief work, sensing into the wound that caused this mechanism. In time, through her tender grieving will arise the palpable sense of her own lovingness, her True Nature. This will begin her redemptive journey, sensing within her the love that she so longs for. But the habit of forgetting herself and tuning into others will not disappear quickly. When she thinks she's finally understood it she will discover another layer still operating. With kindness and grace she will observe the speed of this mechanism, her tendency to try to love someone who cannot love her back, her need to redouble her efforts to save the wounded lover, with addiction calling to her at her most vulnerable moments. If she is aware of these Type Two patterns, develops eyes to see them, knows the Siren call of these patterns, she will sit in the suffering, allow others to support her, digesting it such that the quality of her lovingness and sweetness begins to emerge and make its presence known. As she loves with less fear, she will love more deeply, and she will find those who can return her love. This is the adventure she has embarked upon, the redemption of her heart.
The Untold Story of Spiritual, Psychological and Emotional Growth
Here's the untold story that recovery circles have yet to grasp: the healthier she gets, the more she is not driven by her personality habits, the more sharply and clearly she will begin to sense her deepest fear of being unlovable and unwanted. At year 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 of her recovery, after much growth, she may feel it head-on and it will bring her to her knees. If she knows this in advance, she will get the help she needs and move through it. If she has no knowledge of this dynamic, she may feel that all her efforts were for nothing, that she has failed at what she cares about most. How could she be feeling so badly after all the work she's put in over fifteen years of addiction recovery? In despair, she may relapse or develop a new addiction, or suicide.
But being forewarned in understanding the stages of true spiritual growth as Riso/Hudson have so clearly described in The Wisdom of the Enneagram, she will get the support she needs. The myth that sets many wonderful recovering folks up for the heart-rending return to addiction is that after a year or two, or ten, or fifteen of sobriety, their major suffering will have ceased. The truth is that unnecessary and extraneous suffering will be lessened, but the encounter with their basic fear will be more intense and disarming until it is passed through and transformed. What is misunderstood and yet to be clearly articulated is that every expansion of one's ability to experience and savor life invites a deeper inquiry and contact with what has caused one's suffering and contraction. Deep joy opens the psychic doors for deeper grief to be embraced and digested.
Each of the Types in addiction recovery has a primary relapse trigger pattern identified by their basic desire, fear, passion, fixation, inner critic habits and self-concept. When an individual begins to sense and understand these personality dynamics and how to navigate them, the necessity and tragedy of relapsing into substance addiction will be averted. With the critical knowledge in hand that certain aspects of their inner life will get more difficult the longer they have been growing and expanding emotionally and psychologically, the necessary crisis that precede profound breakthroughs will be seen as opportunities rather than igniting a inaccurate interpretation that they have failed in their spiritual work.
Achilles Heel of the Types
Each Type has a characteristic Achilles Heel dictated by their passion (emotional habit) and fixation (mental habit). The best way to examine this is to become aware of how the particular passion and fixation is manifesting to keep an individual out of contact with their self- confidence, their value, their preciousness, their significance, their integrity and goodness, their joy, their capacity to be in contact with well being and being comfortable in their own skin. Observing, seeing and not acting out the particular passion and fixation of the Enneagram type is the doorway to change, and to stopping relapse. This means helping an individual see the illusion they are caught it without judgment, and helping them learn to see and observe their thoughts and emotions as they arise. Observing them, not messing with them (suppressing and denying them or acting them out) is the key. But each Type, when they arrive in addiction recovery, is under the spell of their Type's emotional habit and mental fixated thinking pattern, and this pattern helps keep them stuck at Level 6 and 7, wherein they're ability to notice how their addiction talks to them goes unseen, and where their capacity to sense and feel when they are endanger of relapse also does not touch the radar screen of their awareness. They walk into danger, whistling past the graveyard, and low and behold, pick up an addiction substance and are shocked: how the hell did that happen, I thought I was doing so well. The amnesia or forgetfulness of recovering substance abusers, that capacity to forget on-the-spot why they stopped using, and why, is unraveled by becoming more clearly aware of the unconscious habits of their personality Type.
It is the goal of my work with the Enneagram to provide clarity on the primary relapse triggers of each Type and the phases in an individual's recovery journey is which this relapse triggers and core suffering will be more deeply felt, in hope that with the precision the Enneagram identifies these patterns, addiction relapse might significantly be decreased, thus eliminating so much unnecessary suffering that inhabits addict's lives today.

HardtraX Added by Goedie, 20 December 2004
German techno-DJ and producer HardtraX aka Rudi Holzgreve was born in West Germany in 1981. He discovered his love for electronic underground music at the age of eleven before he made his first experiencies in producing techno music in 1997. At that time, he was using Amiga computers to produce various tracks in different styles of music from techno, over deep house, acid, tech-house, trance, ambient, jungle and hardcore. Then, after a two-years-break he focussed on producing hard underground techno tunes and occasionally composing hardcore tracks. In 2001 he met Jackhamma and in 2002 they started producing together and have been performing live on several locations in Germany as "HardtraX vs. Jackhamma". After having released some tracks and remixes on different labels (Plug'n'Play Rec., Distorted Rec., Tekk-Tribe), HardtraX teamed up with Jackhamma to found their label "Dark Force Recordings" in 2003 as a platform for their numerous hard, dark and straight-forward techno-tracks. Their first record on Dark Force Recordings named "Evil Frequencies" reflect their hard-hitting, yet atmospheric, twisted and kicking technostyle. Future releases will also be used to promote other artists and new talents in order to show the complexity and diversity of their preferred styles of techno.

Joseph Jedrysik was born on 29 May 1917 in Manchester NH, son of Polish immigrants Antoni "Anthony" & Aniela "Nellie" (Wozniacka/Wozniak) Jedrysik. His father had immigrated to the United States from Kurczina Krosno, Poland seeking a better life. He worked in one of the Manchester mills as an operative.
Anthony and Nellie had five children, but Joseph was their only son. Joseph Jedrysik grew up at 11 Pearl Avenue, attended the local schools, and graduated from Central High School in the Class of 1939. He enlisted in the United States army on 6 March 1941. By December he was a member of HQ Squadron, 17th AAF Air Base Group, Air Corps in Hawaii.
According to the 15th Wing web site, "Jedrysik was a protestant chaplain's assistant assigned to the 17th Air Base Group, Hickam Field, Territory of Hawaii, and was killed in action on Dec. 7, 1941 while manning a machine gun at the base of the Hickam [Field] flagpole." He received the purple heart posthumously. His body was returned home, and he was buried with honors at St. Hedwig's Cemetery–a flat, granite marker indicating the spot.
A ceremony was held in 2009 to name the bridge that brings motorists across the Merrimack River and into Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge. It was reported that about 18 Pearl Harbor survivors, resident of New Hampshire, attended that ceremony.
In 2011, 113 students in the Central High School band raised money ($200,000) in less than a year to send the band to Pearl Harbor to play there on the 70th anniversary of the attack. They honored three Central alumni–Army Private Joseph Jedrysik, Seaman 1st Class David Crossett and 2nd Class Joseph Rozmus who were killed during those Japanese raids.
In 2012 the United States army honored Joseph Jedrysik and others. One chaplain and six chaplain assistants who died while serving their company were honored with a memorial–the Chaplain Corps Memorial at the U.S. Army Chaplain Center and School, Fort Jackson, South Carolina.

Dear Ms. Brown,
My dad served at Hickam Air Field during World War II, with the Seventh Army Air Corps. My dad went Home to be with the Lord in May of 2006. Dad arrived at Hickam shortly after the horrific air attack of December seventh of 1941.
Do you know if the chapel at Hickam survived the Japanese attack?
Thank you for honoring Private Joseph Jedrysik.
Most Sincerely,
Richard Mabey Jr.

Mr. Mabey, Thank you for reading my blog and for writing to me. What I do know from my research is that during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Hickam Field Chapel was "hit." I have no idea if it was entirely destroyed, or was able to be repaired, or if it was totally rebuilt. There is a chapel there today whose staff you can contact at this link. Best wishes. You Dad was a real hero!

Springfit held their annual beam and trampette gymnastics competitions at Oakwood Sports Centre in Horley on Sunday 8th July 2018 in very warm conditions.
Over 100 spectators turned out to see their children in action, starting with many impressive performances on arguably the most difficult of gymnastics disciplines – the beam. For most people just walking along the apparatus is tricky enough, but confident youngsters performed handstands, cartwheels and other difficult moves with pinpoint accuracy to land on the 10cm wide beam and received rapturous applause from their friends and family in the audience supporting them.
There were three different ability groups ranging from beginner level on the medium height beam through to advanced gymnasts on the riskier high beam. As the routines got harder, the response grew from the audience and the crowning glory of the medal ceremony was a high reward for those who impressed the judges most with their control and execution of each move.
The variations of performance in the linking dance moves was a chance for the gymnasts to express themselves, which they did with aplomb. This carries bonus marks for the talented gymnasts who made the most of telling their story through the performances and certainly enhanced the enjoyment of the afternoon for all involved.
The beam competiton results are published here.
Following on from the beam competition was the popular trampette competition which started around 4pm. There were many categories that were split by age groups as well as difficulty level, as lots of children chose their best moves to show off in the air after they flew from the mini trampoline and stuck the landing on the mats.
The event started with grade 1 including shaped jumps and half twists, popular with the younger gymnasts, many of whom were competing for the first time. By the end of the afternoon, some of the more experienced gymnasts were shocking the audience with twisting somersaults and high flying dive-rolls. It was a great culmination to what is always a popular discipline. One of the simplest pieces of apparatus, in contrast to the beam, but requiring a very high degree of control. The slightest misjudgement on run up or take off can lead to a lack of control in flight and the judges were keenly scoring each and every aspect of the speedy displays.
The focus and awareness each and every participant displayed was commendable, with so many high scores being read out by the organisers at the end of the day. Those who took to the podium at the end were proud as punch to be hanging a medal around their neck to take away and show off to people.
The trampette competition results are published here.
Pictured below are the medal winners from the trampette competition.

She was a cast member in five TV series: The Jackie Gleason Show (1956–57), Bracken's World (1969–70), The Paul Lynde Show (1972–73), CPO Sharkey (1976–77) and the daytime drama Texas (1980–81) while also maintaining a thriving theatrical career as a musical comedy star and receiving two Tony nominations, in 1962 for The Gay Life and in 1965 for Do I Hear a Waltz?.

Cohabitation agreements are becoming an increasingly common phenomenon, whereby couples live together on a long-term basis without ever getting married. People presume that if they have been living with a partner for a few years, they become 'common law husband and wife' and have the same rights as married couples. However this is not the case, 'common law marriage' simply doesn't exist.
Married couples and civil partners enjoy significantly more legal protection than couples living together and although cohabitating couples do have more rights than they used to and things are still changing, many cohabitees leave themselves highly vulnerable should their relationship fail.
There are several options you can take to ensure you protect yourself in case your relationship does come to an end. Our family team can advise you on the cohabitation issues you should consider, where you stand legally and how a Court would view your cohabitation arrangements.


My name is Sam and I am writing to you today from a local charity I work for as an apprentice called CT Sussex that helps disadvantaged people by providing much needed transport to prevent them becoming isolated.
We are a local community transport charity, comprising 3 individual charities, Crawley Community Transport, Bluebird Community Partnership and Horsham District Community Transport. Our charities help those that are in need of accessible transport, whether it be because of age, sickness, disability, poverty, or a lack of adequate and safe public transport in their area. We help disabled children get to school; we give the elderly a way to get to their doctors for medication, to the shops to buy groceries, to visit friends and family, or even to attend a social club or group. Our aim is to help give locals their freedom and independence, and provide them with a safe and secure way of getting to wherever they may need to go. Our wheelchair adapted minibuses assist parents in taking their disabled children out for the day, and offers seniors a reliable, secure travel option. Our passengers range from children as young as 4 with complex needs, to one of our regular travellers who is an incredible 103 years old. Last year alone we completed over 110,000 passenger journeys and without our services, everyone who travels on our buses would become more secluded, or forced to use private hire vehicles; at a much higher cost to themselves or the local authorities.
Although Community Transport Sussex has been supported by some grant funding and the amazing generosity of past donations since our original charity began 16 years ago, it is becoming more and more difficult to secure the same level of grant funding we were receiving previously, and there are still many areas where these services are not readily available. In order to reach out to more individuals in need, and keep our services going, we have been developing Community Transport Sussex to become more self-sustainable. We are some way to reaching our goal of full sustainability but need to focus on additional fundraising to help us achieve this.
We are kick starting this by holding our first big fundraiser in the form of a summer ball. It will be held on 6th July at Effingham Park Hotel, Copthorne. The night is a 007 style evening and will include a three course meal, casino, live music (including Bond theme songs), a raffle and an auction. We have holidays, a yacht charter in Mallorca, bottle of House of Commons scotch and more all up for auction, as well as a spa voucher, hotel stay and meal for 2 at a London restaurant in our raffle. It promises to be a perfect evening! Tickets are £35 each or £325 for a table of 10 for the whole evening.
We would be so delighted to have you along on the night! I have attached our poster and wondered if you would also be able to mention the event in your next newsletter to your members? The more people we can reach the more awareness we can raise for our cause and we would be very grateful for your help.
If there is anything I can help with please let me know.


I was incredibly lucky to be a part of the Phos Workshop run by JUSTINE MILTON and LES ANAGNOU PHOTOGRAPHERS a few months ago, held on the charmingly beautiful island of Spetses in Greece. It was one of the only countries I hadn't been to in Europe and in all honesty I wasn't expecting to fall in love with it the way I did! I've honestly been dreaming of being able to spend a few months there sometime in my life! It's a pleasure for me to bring you the images from the shoots as it brings back such wonderful memories for me.
This shoot was set in an incredible - privately owned - historical villa. The intimate ceremony was set in front of the fire place with a gorgeous al fresco dinner in the courtyard. Just outside the villa we wandered through quaint little alleys and lanes which were full of beautiful doors and fragrant blossoms hanging over walls dripping into the narrow streets. The gorgeous SAMUELLE COUTURE gown added an element of pure romance to the scene.

Rock Meets Country
I Have Discovered Keith Whitley!
Meet Country July 21, 2014 April 8, 2019 Reviews
As you have probably noticed most of my blog entries are about contemporary commercial country artists or new up and comers. However, this time I wanted to share my most recent experience with "meeting" an artist that doesn't fit into either of those categories to balance things out. Also, I am really excited I branched out and found someone who was an incredible artist, Keith Whitley.
Yeah, I know I'm late and should have already known about him but I'm new! Thanks to Amazon's new feature Prime Music I downloaded a compilation of Keith's. Otherwise I don't know if I ever would have listened to his songs, it's not like they're everywhere you look.
His voice was absolutely amazing and definitely qualifies as being classified as "true country." He just had THAT tone. Most of his output was recorded in the 80s but I don't think the production of the songs I've heard sound cheesy and dated. Actually the only reason why his songs would sound dated is because there's no hip hop present, and thank goodness.
Off the complication, the tracks that stand out the most are "Turn Me to Love," "Brotherly Love," "Some Old Side Road" and "Miami, My Amy."
When referring to old school country most people mention Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and the like, but there was so much more talent out there. It's a shame to think someone like Keith might get forgotten as time passes, but I'm very excited that I found Keith and can enjoy his music! You should do the same so pull out your old records or CDs and listen to Keith Whitley again.
Thank you Steven.

Keith Whitley is so soulful! Amazing class of musician and singer. I want to attempt to answer your question about people not mentioning KW when referencing the classic country artists. I think the answer lies in that Cash, Waylon, WIllie, Hank and the like come from an era where the channels for exposure were so few and far between that the entire world knew them and recognized that they were defining American popular culture. Also consider that everyone loves Johnny Cash and Hank etc, it's blasphemous to dislike them in music discussions.
KW was creating great music during an era of Country where it had truly become a big business. Some of the Judds records from that era could almost be disco, and I think ( I was just a little kid so i can only speculate) the 80's was a time when the phrase, " I like everything except country" was invented. Before that country was just good songs from the south. Country was everything that wasn't Rock or Race music. But by the 80's I'm pretty sure a huge part of the population saw Country as "those people" as opposed to just "Johnny Cash and Roger miller, those two guys I hear on the radio every saturday night." KW was victim of Genre! I think Country fans from the 80's would all agree to his genius, while everyone else from that time was busy ignoring him so they didn't look like a "redneck."

Bijsk () ist eine Großstadt mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) im südwestlichen Sibirien, Russland.

Geographische Lage
Die Stadt liegt am Fluss Bija in der Nähe seines Zusammenflusses mit dem Katun und ist nach der 163 Kilometer entfernten Regionshauptstadt Barnaul der zweitgrößte Ort der Region Altai.

Bijsk ist Verwaltungszentrum des gleichnamigen Rajons, ist selbst jedoch nicht Teil desselben, sondern bildet einen eigenen, der Region direkt unterstellten Stadtkreis.

Geschichte

Allgemein
Bijsk wurde 1709 als militärische Festung gegründet und behielt bis in die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts auch primär militärische Bedeutung. 1756 spielte Bijsk eine kleine strategische Rolle in der Eroberung Sibiriens durch die Russen. Aus dieser Zeit stammen auch zwei Kanonen, die heute im Stadtpark aufgestellt sind. Erst 1782 bekam Bijsk das Stadtrecht und die damit verbundenen Privilegien verliehen. Die militärische Bedeutung Bijsks endete mit der Industrialisierung 1848, danach wandelte sich Bijsk zur Industriestadt. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts entstanden verschiedene industrielle Gewerbezweige in Bijsk. Eine Schnapsbrennerei, Sägemühlen, Webereien und metallverarbeitende Betriebe prägten das Stadtbild. 1915 erhielt Bijsk mit der Verlegung einer Nebenstrecke der Transsibirischen Eisenbahn einen Bahnanschluss. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde eine Reihe von Industriebetrieben aus den europäischen Gebieten des Landes vorübergehend nach Bijsk verlegt.

Bevölkerungsentwicklung

Anmerkung: Volkszählungsdaten

Wirtschaft
Heute ist Bijsk wie die meisten Städte in Westsibirien vorrangig Industriestadt. Ihre Hauptproduktionszweige sind Maschinenbau (Maschinen für die Nahrungsmittelindustrie), Holzindustrie, Chemieindustrie und Textilindustrie. Bijsk gilt als wichtiges touristisches Zentrum und als Tor zum Altaigebirge, da von der Stadt ein Großteil der dorthin unternommenen Touren ausgeht.

Verkehr
Bijsk ist die Endstation der Altai-Eisenbahn, einer Zweigstrecke der Turkestan-Sibirischen Eisenbahn, die es mit Barnaul verbindet.

Bildung und Kultur
Sieben technische Institute stellen den Hauptteil des weiterführenden Bildungsangebots in Bijsk, es besteht jedoch auch eine Staatliche W.-M.-Schukschin-Universität für Geisteswissenschaften und Pädagogik des Altaigebiets. 2005 erhielt Bijsk offiziell den Status einer  Wissenschaftsstadt.

Das Museum für regionale Geschichte stellt neben dem Drama-Theater den kulturellen Höhepunkt eines Besuchs in Bijsk dar. Eine Besonderheit ist auch die Bibliothek mit mehr als 3,5 Mio. Büchern.

Summary from MH The Heavy Metal Music Group at the high school consists of just Amanokawa Rinko and the main character, a teenage boy madly in love with her. The club is intended for people who enjoy the music genre to discuss their passion for heavy metal. However, there's only one kind of passion going on in this club house located in the outskirts of campus, and it is definitely rockin'.

Motor vehicle accidents of any kind are a difficult experience for the victim and his or her family, but they are particularly horrendous when the victim loses his or her life as a result of the crash. Our dedicated team of North Carolina wrongful death car crash attorneys has assisted numerous families with understanding their legal rights following the sudden and painful loss of a loved one.
A recent North Carolina appellate court opinion discusses a wrongful death case involving a motorcyclist. In the action, the administrator of the decedent's estate filed a negligence action against the at-fault driver alleging that his negligence caused the decedent's death.
The accident occurred when a commercial truck collided with a motorcycle. Both drivers were residents of Kane County. The crash took place roughly one mile from the county line with Cook County. Paramedics from Kane County treated the motorcyclist, who was dead at the time he arrived at the hospital. The Kane County coroner performed an autopsy. Four of the five witnesses to the accident resided in Kane County. The Kane County sheriff's department investigated the accident.
After the action was commenced, the defendant filed a motion to transfer venue from Cook County to Kane County based on forum non conveniens, which is the legal doctrine that helps courts determine whether a particular action should be located in a specific venue based on several factors. A party can seek a venue change based on this doctrine when the chosen venue would pose an undue hardship to the defendants. There are several factors involved in making this assessment.
The plaintiff objected to the request for a venue change, arguing that the defendant failed to establish that the facts of the case favored litigation in Kane County. There were multiple exhibits offered by both parties as well as multiple witnesses identified. The court ultimately denied the motion to transfer, finding that the many different factors involved in a forum non conveniens assessment favored litigation in Kane County but that the defendant had not met the high standard required for obtaining a transfer.
The defendant appealed and the appellate court reversed the lower court's denial of the motion, finding that the defendant had provided sufficient evidence to support the transfer of the litigation to Kane County. The evidence indicated that there were substantial ties to Kane County and many reasons why it would be the most convenient to litigate the matter there. Specifically, the court found that all three of the public interest factors favored a transfer. These factors largely involve determining whether it is unfair to impose the trial and burden of litigation on another county's residents, and ensuring that localized controversies are decided locally.
If you were harmed in a car crash, you may be entitled to compensation. At Maurer Law, we pride ourselves on assisting North Carolina residents with understanding their legal rights and options following a personal injury accident. We will handle all phases of the legal process including investigating your claim and negotiating with insurance companies.

Brighten Winter Nights
And in a single day, our late afternoon autumn light is gone. Daylight savings time ended, and we were plunged into darkness. Sounds a bit dramatic doesn't it? It's just that big of a shock to my system every single November. The toughest part seems to be not seeing my home in daylight. I get the boys lunches made and load my tote bag for the workday in the dark. I arrive home long after sunset, again with the drama but it's pitch dark at 4:30 in the afternoon!
I have adapted to this in my life here in Wisconsin with what I think of as work arounds: Lights outside my doors that make the house look cozy and lived in as I drive up to the house in the evening. I popped LED bulbs into them and leave them on 24/7 as both a safety feature and to confuse potential burglars. The latter tip I got from a customer whose house was burgled and the police told her leaving the lights on confuses the burglars. Back to my work arounds.
My kitchen has been equipped with recessed lighting over work spaces and especially over my island. I added some pendants there for a touch of style above eyelevel. And I added under cabinet lights with regular and low-level switching, so I can set a mood when I want to. Our bedroom and the kid's bedrooms feature lamps by the beds and the boy's desks, and I love them. You can move them around when needed. What a concept!
The family room is fitted with recessed lighting and I added a sort of low chandelier in a corner seating arrangement that has become everyone's favorite spot to gather. Why? It's the emotion that beautiful light brings. Sometimes its that extra touch that simply makes the room. But in winter, it's a flow of light room to room, indoors and out, that brings life to the night and makes winter dark kind of beautiful.

Another thing that gives your sofa a definite style is textile choice. After you visit most furniture stores you should have the capability to first choose the style sofa you want and then choose your choice of textile. Some manufacturers have 30 or more different fabrics you can choose from when you are designing a couch, with really the only limit being how much cash you want to spend. The decision of fabric can add thousands of dollars to the final cost of a sofa.

About Chimay Doree (Gold)
A short time before the construction of the Trappist brewery in 1862, the monks at Chimay set about to brew in small quantities an easily digestible beer light in alcohol (4.8% per volume) whose gustatory palette placed it within the style of its predecessors. It was at the time reserved for members of the monastic community. Over time, this beer called "Golden" continued to reside within the abbey. It was subsequently offered to guests of the community then to staff members working for Chimay.
Despite its lower alcohol content, it is still a highly fermented Trappist beer whose touch of hops and spicy aromas never fails to delight all who taste it. As a new public progressively discovered it, the demand to be able to find it outside the abbey grew. The brewery was now faced with a dilemma: to choose between keeping only for itself a product that had already conquered fans in a purely spontaneous manner or make it available on the market. The brewery has thus opted for an intermediate solution: offering "Golden" for public enjoyment in a limited number of HORECA establishments.
About Chimay
Manneken-Brussel Imports is the U.S. importer of Bières de Chimay, the flagship of the Trappist beer category. Since 1862, the monks of the Abbey of Scourmont have brewed world-class Belgian ales in their small village of Chimay. These ales are all-natural, with no filtering or pasteurizing. 90% of the revenue from each bottle sold is used for charitable work around the world.

Ahmet Ediz
If you have ever wondered around the trade shows such as Musikmesse Frankfurt or Mondomusica Cremona, you could not have missed Ahmet! You are simply drawn by this most sincere beaming smile and welcoming greeting every single time without fail! Then you ask him to tell you more about the humidifiers, and you can easily stay there for hours! Did I initially know the importance of humidifiers for my own instrument?! The answer is no! As a violin student, it was important to pay some attention to looking after your instrument, which basically boiled down to adding another soft cloth into your case in the winter time and keeping it from direct sunlight in the summer months. Nobody was thinking about the impact that the weather conditions actually have on the wood itself; rather just getting annoyed with constantly having to re-tune your instrument until it somehow became more stable and responsive, often simply by being left at room temperature. And did anyone really think after a three-hour performance, 'yes, I now need to clean my instrument?!' Again, the answer is almost never a 'yes'!
And how did Ahmet come up with the Stretto® products? By his own invaluable experience as a professional musician whose career spans over 35 years! Even though most of his career was spent as an orchestral viola player in the Zurich Symphony Orchestra (and Ahmet would be first to tell you all the viola jokes!), his music career started back in Turkey, his country of origin, as a jazz musician. Ahmet grew up with a classical music all around him thanks to his father who was a famous violinist at the time. Still, he found himself drawn towards composition and piano studies winning the Berkley Scholarship for Jazz, which sadly, he wasn't able to follow up. Instead, his music career took a turn in the direction of warm sound and deeper undertones of viola, which then led him to a chamber music summer course with conductor George Hurst in England, follow by two years of study with Walter Gerhardt at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.
It is just wonderful to listen to Ahmet telling you about his amazing experience of playing in the orchestra at the William Walton Anniversary concert under the baton of Sir Adrian Boult back in the 1970s! Imagine the sheer exuberance of that long-gone era and what it would have been like as a musician in such an orchestra! Although, it is interesting to note that Ahmet considers that the job of a musician hasn't changed that much over the past few decades, and that the same problems that he and his colleagues faced then are still pretty much shared and endured by orchestral musicians nowadays. The long hours of practicing, rehearsing, travelling across the globe and giving back-to-back concerts month after month are still with us. This fully packed and very busy performing diary started to have an effect on their instruments, especially when the tours crossed many time zones and performances occurred in many different climates.
It would be no exaggeration to say that it started wreaking havoc with their instruments. It was not unusual to see instruments coming unglued on these tours to the point of desperation for both the musicians and the orchestra as a whole. All these unfortunate incidents started Ahmet thinking about what could be done to prevent these happenings. After many conversations consulting with a good friend of his (who also happened to be the chemist), he came up with the simplest, yet the most effective solution on how to maintain the perfect level of humidity in the instrument cases, be it violin, viola, cello or double bass. Even now, when you look at the compact nature of his humidifiers and think of them as such a small accessory, which fits so perfectly well in any case, of the compact size of a hydrometer that will constantly measure how wet or dry the air is inside of your case, you know this could have been only achieved by someone who passionately cares about the instruments, as well as the musicians.
It is also possible that Ahmet is strongly influenced by Swiss design and the fine precision of their watchmaking, as Switzerland has been his home for many decades now, but I would rather like to think that this is more the case of years of experience all boiled down into one quintessential strings accessory.

Cross-Post: This post was originally written by Alex Evans from Placeholder VC, and was originally published on their blog September 17, 2018, here.
The vast majority of child networks resulting from chain forks are in disuse and have lost significant value relative to their parent networks.
Despite lower use metrics, child networks trade at higher user and transaction value multiples (e.g., NVT ratio) than their parent networks.
Users and developers tend to remain loyal to the original network, while most miners are loyal to economics only, directing hashpower to the most profitable network of the moment.
Forks are as ubiquitous as they are misunderstood. To frame the debate on the role and value of forking, the aim of this article is to establish a factual baseline for the study of forks.
To date, there have been hundreds of forks, but not all are equal. Broadly speaking, we can think of two types. There are chain forks, where the code, ledger, or both code and ledger of an operating blockchain are altered, creating a live cryptonetwork separate from the parent chain (which we sometimes refer to as a "child" chain in this piece). We can think of this as a partition of a live network. Then there are pure codebase forks, where the original cryptonetwork's code repository is tweaked offline, before a release of a separate network with a new genesis block.
Digging into chain forks, those that start solely with ledger alterations often end up diverging from the parent codebase, as in the case of Ethereum Classic (and, of course, vice versa). In chain forks where only the source code is altered, the state of the original cryptonetwork is replicated, entitling users with balances at the time of the fork to an equal amount (but not value) of assets in both networks.
To date, Bitcoin is by far the most forked network, with at least 40 chain forks at various block heights (and likely more we're not aware of). By our rough tabulations, Ethereum has also had at least 15 chain forks, and Monero at least 4. The vast majority of the resulting child networks appear to have no usage or value.
Codebase forks are even more common than chain forks, with prominent protocols such as ZCash and Litecoin resulting from codebase forks of Bitcoin Core. These types of forks are much harder to define precisely as the codebases of most cryptocurrencies have some degree of shared DNA, but also evolve to look vastly different.
The discussion below mostly focuses on chain forks of major networks, as opposed to pure codebase forks. We examine the behaviors of key network stakeholders during forking events — including users, developers, and miners — and attempt to study how their decisions drive value in the underlying networks. The focus is on the network and assets of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Monero (XMR), each of which has at least one prominent child asset resulting from a chain fork. Zcash (ZEC) will also be considered in the analysis, shedding light on the proceedings of a codebase fork (Zclassic).
How do users behave after a fork?
It has been argued that forks are dilutive to the value of a cryptoasset as they split the user base (or demand side) between the parent and the child, resulting in a lower combined network value. Looking at Bitcoin, Ethereum, ZCash, and Monero, the idea that forks divert the demand side of the network from the main chain does not appear to hold true.
Figure 1 illustrates this using daily active addresses and transaction volume as proxies for demand-side activity. Red lines indicate the approximate dates of a network fork (respectively, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum Classic, ZClassic, and Monero Original and Monero Classic). The periods approximately cover the sixty days before and after each fork (with the exception of ZCash, as ZClassic was created soon after network launch). While we cannot observe the counterfactual, across the four networks the creation of a child chain does not appear to correlate with a decline in daily active users or transaction volume on the parent chain (note that data on Monero transaction volume was unavailable for this analysis). This holds even as the forks took place in different market environments and varied stages of network maturity.
Rather than true community splits, forks of these networks appear to have created essentially new communities, something also apparent from the behavior of developers.
How do protocol developers behave after a fork?
The loyalty of users to the parent network is matched by that of core protocol developers. Comparing the top contributors of Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum to Ethereum Classic, and ZCash to ZClassic, their corresponding developer communities diverge over time (note that the recency of the Monero forks precludes serious comparative analysis of the codebase). Following Azouvi et al's work, I compute the Sorensen Dice coefficient for each network and its child.  Plotting the coefficient over time (Figure 2), we see a clear divergence in the contributors beginning at the time of the fork (lower numbers imply less overlap in core developers).
With the communities of top developers becoming increasingly heterogeneous, so too do the two codebases, independently evolving akin to allopatric speciation. It is important to note that this coefficient is a trailing indicator, as it takes time for new developers on the child chain to displace contributors in the top-30 in the original repository, as the two codebases are one prior to the fork.
How do miners behave after a fork?
Unlike users and developers, miners exhibit no discernable loyalty to an underlying chain; they behave like economic mercenaries, loyal only to profit. This is consistent with the hypothesis of an efficient mining market, which we explore by looking at a proxy for relative mining profitability. Following Kiffer et al's work on the Ethereum/Ethereum Classic fork, I divide average daily difficulty by total revenue per block (block reward times average USD exchange rate per coin). This can (very roughly) be thought of as the number of hashes required per dollar of revenue.
As seen in Figure 3, the charts for the main networks and their forks are almost identical. In other words, miners make the decision on which chain to mine based on daily exchange rates and difficulties of both chains, exhibiting highly efficient economic behavior in exploiting opportunities across networks.
A few finer observations: While the numbers for Ethereum and Ethereum Classic are almost perfectly correlated, the ETH/ETC ratio has often diverged from 1 for extended periods in recent months, as shown in Figure 3b.
We should expect differences between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic mining dynamics to become more pronounced as the roadmaps of the two projects continue to diverge. On October 16th 2017, Ethereum's difficulty and issuance changed with the Byzantium hard fork (which we account for by adjusting the block reward to 3 from 5). Similarly, Ethereum Classic has recently implemented a hard fork to diffuse the difficulty time bomb and the Ethereum community is debating a further reduction in block reward. Over time, different approaches to consensus and miner incentivization between the two projects are expected to cause the ratios to diverge even further.
On the other hand, starting in Q1 2018, Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash have converged on a highly stable equilibrium, with the ratio settling into an efficient range with few sustained deviations from 1. The lower variance for Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash may also be an indicator of greater professionalization of Bitcoin mining relative to that of Ethereum. Similarly, it may be influenced by the presence of a small number of entities with the majority of hashpower on both networks.
What does all this mean for cryptonetwork value capture?
It is often casually argued that network rents can be "forked away," with value flowing to a less rent-seeking fork. While we lack sufficient evidence to confidently reject this hypothesis, early evidence points against it.
Empirically, the vast majority of child chains are in disuse and have depreciated substantially relative to their parent chains. Even of the more well-known forks, such as Ethereum Classic and Bitcoin Cash, next to none have appreciated relative to the original networks.
Of the more prominent chain forks listed on CoinMarketCap for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Monero, all but one has lost value relative to their parents since the fork: Since initial trading, BCH is trading slightly lower than its initial price after the August 2018 hard fork, while BTC has appreciated 133%. Similarly, Bitcoin Gold has lost nearly 95% of its value since it forked from Bitcoin, while BTC has only lost a little over 30% in the same period. While ETC's market cap was 7.3% that of ETH at launch and peaked near 19% in early 2017, it is now around 5%. Monero Classic and Monero Original have also underperformed XMR.
Of the networks examined in detail in this post, the only asset that has appreciated relative to the parent chain is ZClassic, a codebase fork of ZCash with lower inflation due to the removal of the founder reward. Nonetheless, there doesn't appear to be any real usage of ZClassic or any ongoing development of the project since February of 2018. ZClassic experienced a speculative run-up in price at the start of this year, due to the Bitcoin Private "dividend" (Bitcoin Private is a chain fork of ZClassic, which is itself a code fork of ZCash, which started as a code fork of Bitcoin Core). After the hard fork, the price of the ZCL collapsed and development on ZClassic appears to have paused. Outside of major chains, PIVX has performed better than its parent, DASH.
Overall, the observation that forked assets consistently underperform their parents runs contrary to the commonly articulated belief that value can easily be forked as users readily switch between networks. A good amount of this phenomenon could be attributed to the fact that forks have failed to attract users and core developers from the original chain and as such have to bootstrap a new community to compete, while the original chain retains its network effects. Unfortunately, it appears that we are too early in the history of these networks to rigorously evaluate this hypothesis.
Divergences in the network value of parent and child chains present an interesting petri dish to further investigate relative valuation metrics, and how the market rationally prices cryptoassets based on their fundamentals (or not).
Comparing network value to transaction value ratios (NVT Ratio) for BTC/BCH and ETH/ETC, using 90-day moving averages for transactions (Figure 4), reveals that the child chains often trade at a NVT premium to the original network assets. Trading at an NVT premium implies the market is valuing the child chains at a higher multiple of transaction value, a pattern which ETC and BCH have displayed relative to ETH and BTC, respectively. The premium cannot be explained by stronger growth, as both child chains have experienced anemic transaction growth, no higher than that of their parent chains. In the case of BCH, the premium is significant, with an NVT ratio 65% greater than that of BTC's at the time of writing.
To explore these divergences further, we turn to addresses. Ratios focusing on daily active addresses primarily involve Metcalfe's law and its variants. As we are simply comparing between assets, the particular formulation is less important and, as such, we use the traditional n-squared formulation. Figure 5 summarizes the natural logarithm of the ratio of market cap and squared active address count for Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash as well as Ethereum vs Ethereum Classic.
The results further accentuate the divergence from fundamentals, as both BCH and ETC trade at premiums to BTC and ETH based on this Network Value to Metcalfe's law Ratio (NVM Ratio). The discrepancy for BCH is particularly striking.
Arguably, both NVT and NVM are demand-side ratios that capture only one side of the network. Unfortunately, there has been little work on holistic models for cryptonetworks that would allow us to take a closer look at what is driving these divergences from implied fundamentals.
The only two-sided framework I am aware of that attempts to build a composite measure is that of Buraschi & Pagnotta, who develop a model where price and hashrate are jointly determined in equilibrium.  Figure 6 fits hashrate and active addresses to this model using the parameters specified by the authors (see pp 19–20) and 30-day moving averages for asset supply and hashrate. Leaving aside a statistical exploration of the fit, we can informally observe that the model does a much better job explaining BTC than BCH price. Using the same parameters for the Bitcoin Cash network, however, the BCH price far exceeds that predicted by the model.
In theory, the similarity between child and parent networks would lead one to expect them to trade in close relative valuation ranges. While the numbers are still rough, and more data is needed, early indications point to child chains consistently trading at relative valuation premiums when compared to the parent.
A few possible explanations for this phenomenon are as follows. First, many holders don't move the child asset, instead leaving it untouched until they choose to claim it at a later date, which means there is less selling pressure than would otherwise be expected and hence the price stays unnaturally elevated. Secondly, investors often perceive the child chain as insurance to the parent unraveling, and thus hold more of that asset for investment purposes than would be otherwise expected from the fundamentals. Third, the parent chain "anchors" the value of the child at a higher level than that implicitly justified by the fundamentals. At present, we lack sufficient data to further evaluate the merit of these hypotheses.
While we are still in the early days of understanding the consequences of cryptonetwork forks, a few tentative patterns have begun to emerge. Contrary to the narrative of frictionless forking sucking value away from large networks, child chains to date have struggled to attract demand and developer talent from their parent communities. We can speculate that the inability of almost any child chain to meaningfully appreciate relative to its parent may result from this difficulty of diverting users and developers from parent networks. That said, child chains often trade at relative valuation premiums when compared with parents. While the short history of major network forks precludes more confident assertions, we intend to use this study as a baseline to revisit the economic dynamics of forking as more data becomes available.
 Sorensen Dice is a measure of population heterogeneity commonly used in ecology. Here, it is computed by taking two times the number of common contributors in the set of top 30 contributors for each codebase (ranked by total number of commits) and dividing by the total number of contributors in both sets (i.e. 60).
 Two finer points are worth noting in the results. First, ZCash itself has a non-zero Sorensen-Dice coefficient with Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, as the project also started as a fork of Bitcoin Core. Second, ZClassic is still technically a branch of the main ZCash codebase on Github and independent development appears to have all but halted as of March 2018, with some development migrating to a second hard fork, Bitcoin Private. Second, while ETC's and ZCL's top contributors diverge from the original developer community after their respective hard forks, the contributors to Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin-ABC's codebases diverge in advance of the hard fork on August 1st 2017, as work on the client had started earlier in the year (evidenced by the dates of this thread and this github post).
 In this model, price is determined by investors choosing to purchase a decentralized network asset that can be exchanged for future network services. Future value of those services depends on the product of expected future users (with value given by Metcalfe's law) and the probability of network failure (that is decreasing as a function of current network hashrate). While there are several limitations to the model, it is, to my knowledge, the only one that attempts to bring together both supply and demand factors and explicitly models a two-way relationship between price and hashrate.
