An unusual phenomenon called 'backwardation' is taking place in Bitcoin (BTC) futures trading, mainly the June contract, which expires on June 25.

The fixed-month contracts usually trade at a slight premium, indicating that sellers request more money to withhold settlement longer. Futures should also trade at a 5% to 15% annualized premium on healthy markets, in line with the stablecoin lending rate. This situation is known as contango and is not exclusive to crypto markets.

Whenever this indicator fades or turns negative, this is an alarming red flag. This situation is known as backwardation and indicates a bearish sentiment.

FTX June BTC futures versus Coinbase USD. Source: TradingView

As displayed above, a healthy 0.1% to 0.5% premium took place for most of the previous three weeks. This is equivalent to a 2% to 9% annualized rate, therefore oscillating between slightly bearish and neutral.

When short sellers use excessive leverage, the indicator will turn negative, which has been the case on June 17. However, considering there is only one week left for the June expiry, traders should use longer-term contracts to confirm this scenario. As the contract approaches its final trading date, traders are forced to roll over their positions, thus causing exaggerated movements.

Huobi Sept. BTC futures versus Coinbase USD. Source: TradingView

The September futures have displayed a 1.7% or higher premium versus spot markets, a 7% annualized basis. This indicates a lack of appetite from longs, but far enough from backwardation.

Related: Here's how pros safely trade Bitcoin while it range trades near $40K

What's really going on?

The final piece of the puzzle is the funding rate on perpetual contracts, which are retail traders' preferred instrument. Unlike monthly contracts, perpetual futures prices (inverse swaps) trade at a very similar price to regular spot exchanges.

This condition makes retail traders' lives a lot easier as they no longer need to calculate the futures premium or manually roll over positions nearing expiry.

The funding rate is automatically charged every eight hours from longs (buyers) when demanding more leverage. However, when the situation is reversed, and shorts (sellers) are over-leveraged, the funding rate turns negative and they become the ones paying the fee.

Since May 24, the funding rate has been oscillating between positive 0.03% and negative 0.05% per 8-hour. Thus, on the most "bearish" moments, shorts were paying 1% per week to maintain their positions.

In comparison, on April 13, longs were paying 0.12% per 8-hour, which is equivalent to 2.5% per week.

While many traders point to backwardation as a bearish signal, there is currently no sign of excessive leverage from shorts. As a result, the absence of buyers' interest for the June contract does not accurately reflect the overall market sentiment. If traders had effectively been bearish, both the longer-term futures and perpetual contracts would be displaying this trend.

New York-based white label exchange provider AlphaPoint has raised a further $5.6 million from investors to help scale its exchange technology.

AlphaPoint’s tech is currently used as the backend for 150 exchanges across 35 countries, servicing more than a million end users. The funding will be used for platform development and to roll out more sophisticated exchange features like margin trading, integrated advanced brokerage capabilities, and better liquidity solutions.

Co-founder and CEO of AlphaPoint Igor Telyatnikov said these features are just the tip of the iceberg:

“Stay tuned in 2020 as we will soon announce the release of a series of new liquidity, leverage, and lending products and solutions to our customers.”

Two year gap between funding rounds

This latest funding round comes two years after AlphaPoint drew in $15 million from Mike Novogratz's Galaxy Digital Ventures in 2018 to grow its standing as a digital asset marketplace. In total, the company has raised $23.9 million since it was launched in 2013.

Telyatnikov described the infusion of capital as an effective short-term solution for their current needs:

“This capital injection enables AlphaPoint to continue delivering on our mission to enable access to digital assets globally. We are still in the early days of adoption and utilization of blockchain technology.”

Fresh blood at AlphaPoint

The company is also adding two new members to their board of directors and advisory board. Tim Scheve, President and CEO of Janney Montgomery Scott, will join AlphaPoint’s board of directors while Jan Mayle, founder and CEO of The Mayle Group, comes in as an advisor.

Interfacial charge-transfer doping of metal halide perovskites for high performance photovoltaics

The remarkable optoelectronic properties of metal halide perovskites have generated intense research interest over the last few years. The ability to control and manipulate the crystallisation and stoichiometry of perovskite thin-films has allowed for impressive strides in the development of highly efficient perovskite solar cells. However, being able to effectively modify the interfaces of metal halide perovskites, and to controllably p- or n-type dope the surfaces, may be key to further improvements in the efficiency and long-term stability of these devices. In this study, we use surface doping of the mixed-cation, mixed-halide perovskite FA0.85MA0.15Pb(I0.85Br0.15)3 (FA-formamidinium; MA-methylammonium) to improve the hole extraction from the perovskite solar cell. By treating the surface of the perovskite film with a strongly oxidizing molybdenum tris(dithiolene) complex, we achieve a shift in the work function that is indicative of p-doping, and a twofold increase in the total conductivity throughout the film. We probe the associated interfacial chemistry through photoelectron and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies and confirm that charge-transfer occurs between the perovskite and dopant complex. The resulting p-doped interface constitutes a homojunction with increased hole-selectivity. With charge-selective layers, we show that this surface doping enhances the device performance of perovskite solar cells resulting in steady-state efficiencies approaching 21%. Finally, we demonstrate that a surface treatment with this dopant produces the same effect as the commonly employed additive 4-tert butylpyridine (tBP), allowing us to achieve "tBP-free" devices with steady-state efficiencies of over 20%, and enhanced thermal stability as compared to devices processed using tBP. Our findings therefore demonstrate that molecular doping is a feasible route to tune and control the surface properties of metal halide perovskites.

What People Are Saying

Testimonials from College Swimming Guide Fans

When I give college talks to my swimmers, half of the material I use is from College Swimming Guide. It is presented in a step-by-step manner and is to the point.

I have known Michelle for years and she is very organized with a high attention to detail.

I highly recommend that parents, swimmers, and club coaches check out College Swimming Guide.

College Swimming Guide is an absolutely fantastic resource for not only parents of swimmers, but also the athletes themselves. The college recruiting process can be overwhelming and confusing, and this resource acts to both simplify the process, as well as narrow the search for a student-athlete’s perfect fit in a much more efficient and effective way.
Michelle has done a remarkable job of creating this guide, which includes information applicable to each and every prospective college athlete. Whether you’re just beginning your college search, in the midst of it, or narrowing it down to the last couple of schools, the College Swimming Guide is guaranteed to be beneficial when making the big decision of where you’ll continue your academic and athletic career!

College Swimming Guide is an awesome resource for both swimmers and their parents.  It really made the whole college recruiting process less overwhelming for us.

At the beginning of the process, the spreadsheets for each conference were a big help in determining which conferences my daughter should target. Once she narrowed it down to a few conferences that were a good fit she was able to look at the times for specific schools within those conferences to create an initial list of schools to research, contact, and visit.

Throughout her junior year, the monthly tasks on CSG’s site were great for understanding what she needed to be doing to stay on track. The sample emails were good templates to follow when she contacted coaches throughout the process.

Michelle was also a great resource whenever we had questions about anything. The private Facebook group is also available to get feedback from other parents going through the process.

My husband and I are thrilled with how the process has turned out. My daughter will be swimming D1 next year for a school that she feels is a perfect fit for her in every way. Thanks for everything Michelle!  We will be using CSG again next year when my son is ready to start the process.

Swim Parent

After joining College Swimming Guide, I scheduled a call with Michelle to help us get started in the search process. My daughter wasn’t completely sure if she wanted to swim in college or not so we weren’t sure where to begin.  Michelle was able to answer all my questions about the differences between the requirements of both Division 3 and Division 1 schools. We conducted two searches as Michelle suggested (one to swim in college and one not to swim) and we looked at schools in both Division 3 and Division 1.

I used the College Swimming Guide Facebook group to learn from Michelle and the other swim parents about recruiting. The people in the group asked timely and relevant questions that helped me anticipate what would happen next in the process since I didn’t even know enough to ask my own questions.

My daughter is swimming at a Division 1 Big Ten school now and is very happy with her choice.

I highly recommend College Swimming Guide, it’s a great resource and Michelle’s one-on-one coaching sessions are extremely helpful.

Swim Parent

Embarking on the recruiting process for swimming was overwhelming! Michelle’s detailed month-by-month guide of what needed to get done (and her awesome spreadsheets!) were very helpful to keep my daughter on track. Having a group on Facebook to bounce questions off was also very helpful! I highly recommend signing up for the College Swimming Guide to help you navigate the college recruiting process

Swim Parent

There’s no denying that the recruiting process is complicated and stressful, with more twists, turns and switchbacks than a Rock Mountain highway! It’s not only tough on swimmers; it’s tough on parents, too. Michelle Lombana’s insightful private coaching will keep you and your swimmer from falling off the recruiting cliff! We sought her advice on everything from strategic messaging for emails to coaches to effective follow-up after official visits. In Michelle, my son found an unbiased, trustworthy expert whose advice he followed without question; in Michelle, I found a confidante whose support (and wisdom) I definitely needed. Thanks to Michelle’s guidance, my son conducted a successful college / swim program search. He received roster-spot offers from coaches at four highly selective colleges and was accepted ED1 at his top choice school. Do your swimmer and yourself a favor: Engage Michelle as a private recruiting coach. It’s worth every penny—and more!

Swim Parent

Michelle is a recruiting guru and guardian angel rolled up into one!  She answered all of my questions throughout the entire recruiting process. Many of my teammates and friends struggled with recruiting and made numerous mistakes along the way. Without Michelle’s help, I’m sure I would have made some of them myself! Michelle helped me achieve my goal of getting recruited to my first-choice school. I would recommend her private coaching services to any swimmer who is serious about swimming in college.

Future College Swimmer

I really wish College Swimming Guide had been around when I was going through the recruiting process. My family and I spent many hours researching colleges and reaching out to coaches, without being sure we were targeting the right schools. I was enamored by the coaches that would call my house, but I didn’t realize how many other schools had great programs as well.

This program is better than the “athlete recruiters” that claim to do all of the work for you. A lot of those programs have low success rates for swimmers, so it is great to see that there is now a more focused guide. College Swimming Guide would have cut this time in half by doing the research for us and preparing spreadsheets of Conference Championship Meet Times and Top Event Times at each college.  Having that knowledge before approaching or being approached by college coaches is crucial.

Michelle is knowledgeable about the material and presents it in an easy-to-follow way with monthly action items. Life is busy enough with doubles at the pool and balancing school work. Having someone walk me through the process would have made life a lot easier.

Purchasing a membership to College Swimming Guide should be an easy decision for parents of high school sophomores and juniors.

-Scott R
Former College Swimmer

Thank you for all the help you have provided for my college search! The list that you took time to put together has been very helpful. It has been awesome to have a guide that has already been through this process. I really appreciate your time, expertise, and generosity.

High School Senior

My son committed to his school about two weeks ago. He also received other offers.
He was waiting for a T-shirt to arrive and he finally has announced his college decision with his social media this past Tuesday! ……..it’s a perfect fit for him.
It has been a long and stressful process, but with your step by step guidance and help, he finally found the right college for him. THANK YOU!!!
We may still need your advice in the future and I hope to keep in touch with you.
Thank you again,

Swim Parent

I would highly recommend an individual session with Michelle from College Swimming Guide.   My husband, daughter, and I were discouraged at the time Michelle met with us.  The college swim team doors we had anticipated opening were not opening and we were at a loss.
Michelle listened to both our swimming and academic goals.  Michelle helped open our eyes to many possible options we had not considered.  She gave us a detailed spreadsheet of places where my daughter’s times fit and encouraged us to keep trying.  She gave us valuable information re: the different  swimming divisions.
My daughter chose to swim at a Division 3 school which has been a perfect fit so far.  We are so grateful for the excellent individualized information and knowledge Michelle provided for our family.  It was a wonderful turning point in our journey.

Swim Parent

Michelle’s services were a huge support in our search for schools.  The detailed spreadsheets were a great reference for determining conferences and schools that were best fits, and the sample emails were helpful in establishing initial communication with coaches. I highly recommend her services!

Swim Parent

Thank you for doing what you do.  Your site was a tremendous help in the recruiting process.  It really helped us (my son and I) set realistic goals and gave us a clear path towards the ultimate goal of being recruited – which he was!!!

He was given several offers, including an offer from his “dream” school.  He will be a D1 swimmer in the fall.

Michelle S.
Swim Parent

Thank you so much for meeting with me! You have so much valuable information that has really motivated me to become refocused in my college swim search. You also helped me become more confident as far as schools that will want me.

Future College Swimmer

College Swimming Guide is a great tool that helped me make my decision for college swimming. The suggested question list and advice given is gathered from multiple years of experience. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to do their best in the recruiting process and stand out.

DIII College Swimmer

I wanted to send you a note tonight to share the great news!  Through all of your help, support and our Fast Lane Membership (as well as my swimmer’s hard work in and outside of the pool), she has five swim options for college!  From your advice and patience with our endless questions at our first meeting at Starbucks to the tools provided with the Fast Lane, you have been an endless source of positivity and encouragement.  I can’t recommend YOU or the Fast Lane Membership more!!!  The weekly emails, the blog posts and videos, the tools and the access to you have been priceless!

Lisa H.
Swim Parent

College Swimming Guide has been an excellent and truly invaluable resource throughout the entire search process.  From determining our initial list utilizing CSG’s spreadsheets of times, to information on what to ask on visits with college coaches, Michelle’s blogs, website and Facebook page have helped my son feel confident in the process.
With the help of College Swimming Guide, my son is now scheduled for his official visits this fall and is looking forward to swimming Division 1 in college.  We continue to rely on Michelle’s advice and experience every step of the way.
Swim Parent

At first, the recruiting process was overwhelming. I tried to contact a few coaches on my own and didn’t get many responses.

College Swimming Guide helped me organize the information and develop a realistic list of target schools. The monthly action items helped keep me on track so I knew what I should be doing throughout the process. The spreadsheets with conference and college times were a huge help and saved a lot of time researching colleges.

Signing up for College Swimming Guide made the process much easier.

I’m finally taking a moment away from the site (cuz I need to feed the kids…AGAIN; lol)

I’ve been going through the info, printing results pages, taking notes, etc!!!! I AM IN LOVE…ABSOLUTE “HEAD-OVER-HEELS, WORSHIP-THE-GROUND-YOU-WALK-ON-FOR-PUTTING-THIS-ALL-TOGETHER-SO-EXPERTLY-AND-EFFICIENTLY” LOVE with this and how it’s laid out! You’ve just made my life so much easier! FINALLY! Someone who delivers on their advertising promises! It’s everything I hoped for and more!!! I only wish I found it sooner! Phew! I might be able to pull this off after all! (I was seriously beginning to wonder if I could!)  I’m just SO grateful! Can’t thank you enough!!! Woo-Hoo!!!!!!

Swim Parent

Thank you for all your advice on College Swimming Guide. You were an excellent resource! The conference spreadsheets were especially helpful for my daughter to identify schools that were a good fit. It really made the recruiting process a pleasant experience!

I will recommend all my swim family friends to your site.

Swim Parent

We have thoroughly enjoyed your regular emails.  We thank you for the excellent information you provide.  It’s been quite a journey to witness our son go from a shy and quiet 15-year-old to an 18-year-old that is a confident, self-directed leader of his team and his future. We owe some of that transformation to you.  Thank you.

You provide a very valuable service.  Your message is a swimmer centered approach, not parent-centered.  That distinction is very important.  We, as parents, need to allow our kids to shine. And experience setbacks. It’s healthy.
You clearly recognize that swimming is a metaphor for life.  Keep up the great work.

Our son committed yesterday to swim in college.  We are thrilled for him!

Thanks again.

Swim Parent

My son just received his acceptance letter and he has committed to swim in college!  Thank you for the insights, tips, and guidance you have provided us for the past 2 years, my son was able to find a school with an academic and swim program that fits him best.

Swim Parent

I did a lot of my own research when helping my son find a college that met his academic and swimming criteria.  In the course of that research, I looked at a multitude of swimming resources relating to the college recruiting process and Michelle’s College Swimming Guide was the best resource I found – by far the best.  While it is a tremendous resource for those unfamiliar with the college recruiting process, it’s equally valuable for those who have already done significant leg work, even if used only to confirm and validate information gleaned from other sources.  Moreover, Michelle is attentive and available to help at all times.

I am tremendously impressed by the way Michelle took the knowledge she gained as a swim mom helping her son find the right college fit and turned it into business.  What is perhaps most impressive is how Michelle has worked diligently to acquire and provide substantive, relevant and pragmatic information and to develop multiple avenues for effectively communicating that information to College Swimming Guide members and others.

College Swimming Guide has a well-designed and easy to maneuver website that is kept current.  Michelle provides forms to use for communicating with colleges coaches and detailed spreadsheets of times from colleges and conferences. In addition, she routinely prepares video clips and short articles with helpful tips, she blogs, she regularly sends out emails with links to information and she maintains a College Swimming Guide Facebook page where members can share their experiences with each other.   Michelle is also available to consult on an individual basis.

Even colleges coaches find information provided by College Swimming Guide to be spot on.  I got the biggest chuckle when a college coach recruiting my son sent him an email with a link to an article Michelle wrote for SwimSwam.  If I had to pick a single resource to use as a guide in the college swimming recruiting process, I would definitely choose College Swimming Guide.

2019-20 John Grant Jr. Winner

This award is given to the Top Offensive Player

With the conclusion of the 2019-20 season, the Colorado Mammoth is pleased to present the recipients of this year’s team awards. An annual occurrence, Mammoth players and staff vote for individual players who best exemplified the leadership and production qualities associated with each award and former Colorado Mammoth player in which the awards were named after. Mammoth players and staff have taken place in the tradition since the 2015 season.

The awards, named after former Mammoth greats, represent various aspects of the game, both on and off the floor. Team MVP, Best Offenseman, Best Defenseman, Teammate of the Year and Most Inspirational round out the traditional five awards. The annual regular season celebration concludes with the Fan Choice Award, a unique opportunity which encourages the Mammoth faithful to vote for their favorite player of the season.

John Grant Jr. Award (Top Offenseman) – Ryan Lee

“Leezer was a man on a mission from day one — Full of confidence and ready for a larger role in the offense, Ryan was someone our team was able to lean on to get the job done,” Mammoth Offensive Coordinator Shawn Williams shared. “He consistently recorded impressive performances and seemed to add to his highlight reel every game.”

Previous Winners:

  • 2019 – Eli McLaughlin

During the forward’s third season with the Colorado Mammoth, Ryan Lee expanded his role as an offensive leader and sustained consistent production for a defensive-based Mammoth squad which welcomed the scoring. Leading the team in points, goals and power-play goals in 13 contests, Lee offered a glimpse into the future and provided fans with a handful of highlight reel material in the process. Perhaps you’ve heard of Flyin Ryan or his Leezer Lazers.

Representing the Mammoth with one of the best offensive plays of the season during Colorado’s final regular season game, Lee finished an alley-oop style pass from Tyler Digby which helped spark an eventual comeback against the Rochester Knighthawks March 8. The spectacular diving effort sent some waves (and perhaps a message) around the lacrosse world that Ryan Lee is here to score goals.

The third-year forward logged career-best totals in several offensive categories, including: points (60), assists (35), power-play goals (6) and power-play assists (11) in five less games than his sophomore season. Lee’s 60 points ranked him tied for seventh-most in the NLL, as the forward averaged 4.62 points per game and recorded four hat tricks during the campaign, including a five-goal performance Jan. 25 against Buffalo. The forward recorded his season-high eight-point (2g, 6a) outing Dec. 28 against the Georgia Swarm and added a pair of seven-point performances Jan. 18 against Saskatchewan and Feb. 29 vs. Philadelphia.

Ball to become sustainable aluminum beverage packaging partner in leading global venues; hometown Denver venue to become ‘Ball Arena’

WESTMINSTER, Colo., October 22, 2020 – Ball Corporation (NYSE: BLL) and Kroenke Sports & Entertainment (KSE) today established a first-of-its kind global partnership across three marquee venues in Denver, Los Angeles and London. The partnership was founded on a shared vision to advance sustainability in sports and entertainment by strengthening in-venue aluminum recycling, providing fans with a more environmentally friendly fan experience and showcasing aluminum beverage packaging as the most sustainable choice.

The partnership includes naming rights for Ball and KSE’s hometown arena in Denver, Colorado, home to the NBA’s Denver Nuggets, NHL’s Colorado Avalanche and NLL’s Colorado Mammoth, and also home to family entertainment and concerts. The partnership is a demonstration of both companies’ steadfast commitment to a sustainable future and builds on their long history of working together to support the Denver community.

Ball and KSE will also partner with the Premier League’s Arsenal F.C., which plays in London’s Emirates Stadium, and the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams and their home stadium, SoFi Stadium. In each location, in addition to in-venue aluminum beverage packaging solutions, Ball and KSE will enhance local community programs and increase awareness of the importance of aluminum recycling.

“This is an important moment in sports and entertainment, and we are proud to partner with Kroenke Sports & Entertainment to advance sustainability in venues by implementing real-world solutions to the packaging waste crisis,” said John A. Hayes, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Ball Corporation. “We are committed to making recycling an easy, everyday choice for consumers by providing them with infinitely recyclable aluminum cans, bottles and cups that can be used and back on a store shelf in just 60 days, and enhancing recycling infrastructure in venues. We look forward to continuing to work with KSE to bring about positive change for years to come.”

The partnership marks a new era for both companies’ hometown multi-purpose Denver arena, the site of iconic athletic, entertainment and cultural moments throughout the past 30 years.

“It is with great pride that we introduce Ball Arena as the new home of the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Mammoth,” said KSE Founder and Chairman E. Stanley Kroenke. “Our goal in selecting a long-term international venues partner was to find a Colorado-based company with global renown to grow side-by-side with our talented young teams. Ball Corporation is an ideal fit for that vision, an innovative leader that shares our commitment to our local community, to environmental sustainability and creating quality jobs in Colorado. We look forward to unveiling Ball Arena and welcoming our fans back home when it is time once again to celebrate live sports and entertainment events responsibly. We ask everyone to continue to stay safe and look after each other so that we can soon enjoy countless amazing memories at Ball Arena.”

The partnership also takes Ball and KSE’s growing relationship to the next level, reflecting a shared vision for the future of the global sports and entertainment industry.

“This announcement is an extension of a relationship that began between Ball Corporation and KSE a year ago with the introduction of their infinitely recyclable Ball Aluminum CupTM.  That opened the door to this incredible opportunity, that builds on the importance of aluminum packaging and recycling,” said Michael Ceilley, KSE Senior Vice President, Partnership Marketing & Media Sales.  “Working together, we believe this partnership will be transformative and help redefine the way arenas and stadiums operate globally. We are also grateful for PepsiCo’s dedication to elevating the fan experience at our arena for over 21 years, and through ongoing official beverage partnerships with the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Mammoth and Ball Arena.”

These iconic venues will make the event and fan experience more sustainable by making infinitely recyclable beverage packaging more accessible and ensuring fans have confidence their beverage containers are being recycled and returned to the shelves. At all three locations, this partnership enables KSE to provide guests with real solutions that address the packaging waste crisis, including cold beverages in the infinitely recyclable Ball Aluminum CupTM  and in aluminum cans and bottles, with improved fan-facing recycling programs available on-site.

  • At Ball Arena in Denver, Ball will be KSE’s Official and Exclusive Sustainability Partner, working with KSE to transition to aluminum beverage packaging – cans, bottles and cups – for 100 percent of the venue’s concessions, with the goal of implementing a closed loop system by 2022. The partnership will include a comprehensive recycling and sustainability plan designed to strengthen the venue’s collection, processing and reclamation, as well as investments in community education focused on aluminum recycling.
  • In London, Ball will partner with Arsenal – one of the most watched soccer teams in the world – as its official sustainable aluminum beverage packaging partner. The partnership will explore ways in which Ball can support the club in reducing its impact on the environment and assist with educational initiatives for its global fanbase about the importance of recycling and other green practices. Ball’s partnership with Arsenal builds on both parties’ long history of working to support their community and signals a long-term commitment to a sustainable future.
  • In Los Angeles, Ball will become the official Infinitely Recyclable Aluminum Packaging Partner of SoFi Stadium and the Los Angeles Rams. SoFi Stadium – the new, 70,000-seat home to the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers – will feature the company’s infinitely recyclable aluminum cups for draft beer and cocktails. The Rams will use the cups at team training facilities, camps and on game days. Additionally, the partnership will allow Ball to create local sustainability awareness events, targeted community recycling improvements and educational programming.

Ball, a leader in cutting-edge aluminum beverage packaging, as well as climate monitoring and weather forecasting technologies through the Ball Aerospace business, has made sustainability foundational to its business, operations and products. This partnership builds on Ball’s success in developing and piloting the lightweight Ball Aluminum CupTM in sports and entertainment venues. The cup, a direct response to growing consumer preference for more sustainable products, debuted in 2019 at the former Pepsi Center, now Ball Arena. It is also available at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Folsom Field and at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, among other major venues. KSE is a natural partner as Ball seeks to expand the cups’ reach and provide an infinitely recyclable solution to sports fans, concert-goers and consumers around the globe.

Throughout the life of the partnership, Ball and KSE will develop and implement fan-facing activities in all three venues, and focus on educational and recycling infrastructure programs for the surrounding local communities to celebrate and encourage aluminum recycling – an everyday sustainable choice for consumers and a cornerstone of making a circular economy a reality.

Saving Soulsville

If Washington and Lee alumnus Charlie Santo has his way, the area in Memphis known as Soulsville is going to be revitalized through an unusual program called the Memphis Music Magnet. Santo, a 1996 W&L graduate, is currently an assistant professor of  City and Regional Planning in the School of Urban Affairs & Public Policy at the University of Memphis. Prior to joining the Memphis faculty, he was a principal planner for housing and neighborhood preservation with the City of Richmond.

According to , Santo and his graduate students conceived the project that aims to attract and support musicians and the music industry in Memphis through homeownership and housing programs, and “the development of neighborhood-based amenities with the goal of turning abandoned buildings into neighborhood assets and fostering neighborhood rebirth. Amenities will include shared rehearsal space, a health center, equipment rental and a recording studio.”

Soulsville is a neighborhood in South Memphis, where Stax Records was located and where many well-known music legends got their start. The roster of luminaries included Isaac Hayes, Aretha Franklin, Booker T. Jones (Booker T. & the MGs), Memphis Slim, and Al Green, among many others.

Santo says that the Memphis Music Magnet will emphasize “retaining talent and growing talent, as well as attracting talent from the outside,” Santo said. “We focused on music because the music industry in Memphis is not what it once was. We have a lot of talent in Memphis. And people recognize it as an asset.” An article about the project in the Tri-State Defender noted that it is modeled after an arts-based neighborhood revitalization program in Paducah, Ky., called The Artist Relocation Program, and a Chattanooga, Tenn., program called ArtsMove.

“We’re putting a local spin on revitalization and tying it into the city’s heritage with specific focus on creating neighborhood-level change by attracting and supporting musicians and the music industry in Memphis,” said in the Defender piece. “We want to build on our existing assets and not try to create a new image from scratch.”

The Last of Us Remake Reason for Development Revealed

Last week, a new report emerged stating that developer Naughty Dog was in the process of remaking the original The Last of Us for PlayStation 5. Although this game is one that is fond in the hearts of many, the news was largely met with backlash from those who thought that PlayStation shouldn't be looking to remake a game that isn't even that old. Now, new information has emerged that better explains why Naughty Dog is seemingly working on this project.

In a new episode of The MinnMax Show, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, who originally revealed this news on The Last of Us remake last week, talked more about why this is a direction that Naughty Dog is going in. Schreier essentially said that the reason the studio is remaking the game is because, at this point in time, many employees at the studio don't have anything else to do. The developer is said to currently be in pre-production on some of its future projects, and as such, those in charge at Naughty Dog don't have a lot going on, making it easy for them to move onto this remake.

To further explain this, the pre-production process is one where initial ideas for video games are typically fully fleshed out. This includes finalizing elements such as the story, characters, art, and world that are going to be found in a given video game. Until these aspects are nailed down in their entirety, though, it's hard for developers to begin working on a game that hasn't even finalized its vision. As such, until production on a new game actually begins in full, it's hard for an entire studio, especially one of Naughty Dog's size, to put all of its developers to work on a game that is still in this phase of creation.

With this in mind, I imagine that many more fans will be perfectly okay with Naughty Dog looking to remake The Last of Us. Even though it might seem a bit too soon for a remake of this type, the thought of seeing the original game running in the engine that was found in The Last of Us Part II does seem quite exciting. As for when this project might officially see the light of day, however, we still don't know. Perhaps PlayStation and Sony will reveal the game officially later on in 2021.

So what do you think about this whole situation? Will you play a new version of The Last of Us? Let me know your thoughts either down in the comments or over on Twitter at @MooreMan12.

Abstract Preview

This document specifies a test method suitable to analyse effluents produced during pyrolysis and combustion of samples and products tested according to ISO 5659-2. The specified test method is based on Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy described in ISO 19702, with additional information on the test apparatus and analyser calibration suitable for its application to this physical fire model. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 5659-2 and ISO 19702.

The test method provides time-resolved gas concentrations during the whole of an ISO 5659-2 test.

This document does not address the accuracy of this fire model for any product application, nor does it address the accuracy of the gas concentrations relative to any real-scale fire tests or fire scenarios. For future conversion of this document into an International Standard, an interlaboratory trial is intended to be conducted to replace Annex B.

This document does not include any toxicity assessment or provide input data for fire safety engineering.

As combustion conditions vary depending on the oxygen consumption rate in the enclosure during the ISO 5659-2 test, this physical fire model is not recognised as being representative of any specific fire scenario. Therefore, it is difficult to compare test results with real-scale fire conditions. As a consequence, if this test method is used for comparison among materials or products, it is intended to be done in combination with other fire tests.

ASSET number

An additional field I would like to request is an ASSET number field, or a database reference field.

I use this field to cross reference between inventory lists, drawings and other device identifying functions.  Something that is unique to each device and seen in the exported excel sheet, and that I can adjust to my internal inventorying system.

Adding Carrier Service API

Needing help on adding carrier shipping API to my website as I would like to use the app ' Delivery Rate by Zip Code' by Zapiet.

Thank you

Hello there,

If you have switched your Shopify plan to annual billing, you're eligible to have the Carrier Service API enabled for free. Please, make sure to ask them directly to enable this API, as they do not always do it automatically when switching the billing option.

Once the Carrier Service API is enabled, then you'll be able to configure your Delivery Rates by Zip Code app and add it to your Shopify Shipping profile, in order for it to generate rates at checkout

Don't hesitate to contact us at, or through our online chat, if you have more questions.

Some configuration help? I am losing my sanity.

Regarding a TZ400 with SonicOS 6.5...

I need to configure my firewall behind a comcast "gateway".

I need to allow a port (say port 12345) coming from a specific IP address (say When it arrives at my site it has to get forwarded to port 2345 on statically assigned

I put the Comcast in bridge mode , configured X1 as my public IP, configured X0 as with DHCP from 10 to 200, Created by service and address objects, access rule, NAT... and nothing. No connectivity in or out.

I also tried taking the Comcast out of bridge, giving X1 an address within the Comcast range and sending the DMZ to the X1 interface and still nothing. I know there are a couple of video's showing the concepts, but I am missing something. Is there somewhere I can go to get some individual help on my specific problem without costing an arm and a leg?

Category: Entry Level Firewalls

  • Hi @NETDEL,

    Welcome to SonicWall Community. We can help you on this concern.

    Sounds like you are trying port address translation on the SonicWall firewall to access a local resource hosted behind it and need some help.

    Could you please tell me if the ports described by you above are the actual ports that you wanna forward to your local resource? Also, do you wanna allow this port from external access or even for internal access using the firewall's public IP?

    Please let us know and we can guide you further on this.

  • AjishlalAjishlal All-Knowing Sage ✭✭✭✭

    Hi @NetDel

    Bridge mode is not available if the gateway is provisioned with any static IPs.

    1) Disable the comcast gateway Firewall or if you want enable the gateway firewall, enable the check box for the "Allow all traffic through"

    2) If your gateway has been provisioned properly with your static IP, you should be able to configure any of your own devices with your static IP information and just plug it into the gateway's ethernet ports.

  • TKWITSTKWITS All-Knowing Sage ✭✭✭✭

    Again, @Ajishlal knows his stuff. Comcast doesn't do full bridge mode, you have to change the modem firewall as described.

  • NetDelNetDel Newbie ✭

    Hello all, and thank you for your assistance. I guess I need to get more specific, except for the public IP's so here goes:

    Comcast business gateway public IP is say My network's internal subnet must be 192.168.7.x

    Comcast internal IP is set at to avoid the subnet overlap

    Comcast DHCP set to assign 1 only address:, so X1 is

    I have set the Comcast to allow all traffic through and also pointed the comcast DMZ port to

    LAN port address is

    I need to allow traffic from 1 specific address (say on port 2368 to reach on the same 2368 port

    It doesn't work.

    Previously I tried putting the comcast in bridge and assigning the public IP to X1 but that didn't work either

  • AjishlalAjishlal All-Knowing Sage ✭✭✭✭

    Hi @NetDel

    First you would have to do the port forwarding in comcast router, For that pls follow the below steps;

    Login into the comcast router and navigate to the Advanced;

    Select the Advanced menu in the left pane, then click Port Forwarding.

    Then "Save"

    Second you have to create Access Rule and NAT policy in Firewall.

    Create WAN to LAN Access Rule;

    NAT Policy:

    Try the above steps and let us know, whether its helped you or not.

  • Hi @NETDEL,

    Thanks for confirming the IP subnet conflicting part.

    If you have both inbound NAT and WAN to LAN access rule in place on the SonicWall appliance, make sure you have the ports opened on the upstream ISP router or modem as well. If still further difficulties in getting this to work, please perform a packet capture on the SonicWall to pin point the not working reason.

    The packet monitor is an efficient tool and can yield better results.

Get the Facts on World Diabetes Day

header image

Pictured above is the pancreas, an organ that’s vital to the body’s regulation of blood sugar levels.

The condition known today as diabetes has been around for centuries, with cases traced as far back as ancient Egypt.

Diabetes Mellitus is coined from two words: the Greek word “diabetes”, which means “passing through” (ie the flow of urine), and the latin word “mellitus”, which means sweet ?.

In 1674, an English doctor named Thomas Willis described diabetic urine as “wonderfully sweet as if it were imbued with honey ? or sugar.” Can you imagine diagnosing Diabetes by tasting urine? ? Today’s advanced diagnostic tools and techniques have come a long way.

Diabetes occurs when the (glucose level in the blood is too high).  This happens when the body is not burning up carbohydrates properly due to a defect in the pancreas, the gland that produces insulin – the hormone which keeps blood sugar levels within the normal healthy range.

There are two types of diabetes mellitus:

Type 1

Formally known as insulin dependent diabetes, which usually occurs before the age of 35 and is very common in children.  A person with type 1 diabetes makes no insulin and therefore needs to inject insulin to regulate blood sugar levels and remain healthy.

Type 2

Non-insulin dependent diabetes – more commonly occurs in adults after the age of 40 and is quite common in old age. In this case, the person with diabetes makes some insulin however the insulin cannot function effectively.

Symptoms of untreated diabetes vary in intensity but may include:

  • Lack of energy
  • Tiredness
  • Excessive thirst
  • Frequent passing of urine
  • Weight loss
  • Blurring of vision
  • Recurrent infection

To get the best of your internet privacy and anonymity, consider the advantages of checking via the internet privacy with anonymity. This can be the first step you can create to gain vpn anonymity complete defense against online stalkers and snoops. They are most of the people you wish to avoid inside the start, but they simply just seem to be too savvy to really stay away from you.

There are lots of good use anonymity on the Internet, but when considering checking on the web privacy with anonymity, you will discover just a few. To begin with, if you do not have an actual physical presence on the Internet, then you will not ever have to worry regarding having your name stolen. The newest anti-virus program and service providers are made to help you keep your identity safe and sound.

Secondly, when ever checking on line privacy with anonymity, you will not be having to deal with many persons. These can include the government, your employer, others, and even potential employers. In this manner, it becomes a reduced amount of of a hassle to focus your power on different matters that may cause you trouble in the foreseeable future. For those who want to maintain their very own privacy, that is an excellent decision for making.

Thirdly, online privacy is critical for individuals who work in the public eyesight. People who regularly appear on tv set, in newspaper advertisements, or magazine advertising will discover that the privacy is generally threatened simply by stalkers and snoops. If they use an anonymity service to hide their identity, then this makes it challenging for these individuals to pursue all of them or stalk them without providing a better target for any criminal to select off the Internet.

Fourthly, the moment checking online privacy with anonymity, you will not have to worry about the speed and reliability of your connection. There are many home Online connections which are quickly, but also highly irregular. For those individuals who need and desire for broadband and reputable Internet, it is difficult to warrant that use associated with an online anonymity service.

Fifthly, when using a great anonymity service, you do not have to worry about being shy, exposed, or made to feel uncomfortable. Many times, this can be hard for someone who has not really been in the general public eye to know. With anonymity, however , you may not have to worry with this and will rather focus on making yourself feel at ease and secure.

Lastly, when checking on line privacy with anonymity, you will definitely get to choose the degree of privacy you happen to be willing to accept. For example , you can choose to use a service that provides you with full anonymity, but actually will not expose your actual IP address or your true name. You may also choose to use an anonymous company, but will stop some of the privacy and anonymity as a swap for increased speed and reliability.

Where the Northwest
shapes energy efficiency

About This Group
Log in to comment, rate, and share.

Welcome to the CBSA Interest Group group for comprehensive updates and discussions on the 2016-2019 CBSA efforts.

The CBSA is a periodic regional study that provides a database of commercial building information for the Northwest. It’s expected to be representative of the region's existing commercial building stock. The CBSA database includes more than 250 variables for each site, including building type and functional use, building size, detailed information about building envelope, fenestration, lighting, and HVAC equipment. NEEA leads the CBSA project in partnership with stakeholder work groups that provide technical expertise and project guidance on sample design, building data variables, and customer outreach.

In early 2017, NEEA began work with a team of contractors focused on study design and sampling procedures to guide the CBSA. By late summer, the proposed plan was used to craft an RFP for field work. That RFP will be available in early October 2017. Source documents, including the work of the planning team and proposed sampling and data collection documents are available in the "resources" linked to this page.

Results from prior assessments are available at neea.org/data. For more information, please contact Dulane Moran at dmoran@neea.org.

CONFIDENCE MARTIAL ARTS - Self Defense and Fitness in Wilmington, NC

See why so many people are becoming ATA members.

Training at Martial Arts schools is about reaching your personal goals in a safe and fun environment. It’s about learning Martial Arts for increased physical ability and mental awareness. It is truly more than just kicking or punching. Its’ about changing a life in a positive training environment.

You’ve tightened your abs, stretched your hamstrings and built your biceps, but have you exercised to build your mental stamina? Exercise helps your body resist stress-related disorders. The brain sends signals to the body to produce adrenaline during stressful situations, but it’s meant to be for short periods of time, not long-term. Long-term exposure to adrenaline causes many physical problems, and can contribute to headaches, digestive problems, colds, high blood pressure, heart disease and even stomach fat!

According to Barbara Brehm-Curtis, EdD, professor of exercise and sport studies at Smith College in Northampton, MA, “If done consistently, physical activity actually reduces your stress reactivity. That means less adrenaline gets released and you don’t get as stressed out by things that used to upset you.”

There are some things you can do to facilitate the stress resistance factors. Choose physical activities, like martial arts, that allow you to have fun! This alters the brain chemistry in a positive way, reducing stress. Playing vigorously has the added benefit of ridding your body of stress-causing hormones such as adrenaline.

Are You Willing to be Undone?

Create your own user feedback survey

Yesterday I read Annie Dillard’s essay Total Eclipse. I found the writing and content nothing short of magical. What Dillard describes is what I would call being undone. I believe that conscious leaders are willing, and actually seek, to be undone.

To be undone, we have to be willing to see and experience the truth of who we are and who we are not. Dillard poignantly illustrates how she saw herself, others and life as the moon and sun danced together. She describes an experience of awe, wonder, terror; nothingness in the presence of everythingness.

In practical leadership terms, we might call this humility. Someone said that humility is not to think less of ourselves but to think of ourselves less. When conscious leaders open themselves to being undone they think of themselves less and they think less of themselves. They think of themselves less because they see that what undoes them is so much more compelling, so much more worthy of attention and contemplation than their individuated self. They also think less of themselves because they see that in relationship to that which undoes them, they are small and temporal.

Watching Charlottesville and its aftermath, one thing I saw clear, as a full solar eclipse, is that President Trump has not been undone. He still thinks much of himself and thinks of himself much. We heard this when he spoke about Charlottesville and he made the point that he owns a winery in the community, one of the biggest wineries. But this isn’t about Trump—whose perspectives and choices we have little to no control over—it’s about us:

Trump is just a picture of us all when we’re presented with a golden opportunity to be undone, and we go the other way instead: we double down on To Me (un)consciousness, and make ourselves and our projects the center of everything.

So my question for you is this: Are you willing to be undone?

Being undone is seeing— if only for a moment— the truth of who you are and who you aren’t. This can happen as you watch a newborn child emerge into the world. Or when you sit with a beloved as he or she breathes a final breath and slips over the edge to a vacant physical form. It can happen when you read a poem or listen to a piece of music or watch the sunset or rise or do an ayahuasca journey in the middle of the rainforest. You can be undone by love or God. Most sacred texts tell one story after another of people being undone or resisting being being undone.

Being undone, as it was for Dillard at the eclipse in 1979, is terrifying. No wonder we hold on. Surrender is always part of being undone. Most leaders are terrified of surrender. They think it is weak and worthless. Humble leaders who have been undone have surrendered. Often they surrender kicking and screaming, but they surrender. They surrender to the truth of who they are in context of a much larger reality.

Yesterday the eclipse came. Like all of life’s invitations, some found a front row seat to the wonder, majesty, terror and awe. They chose to put themselves in a place where they could be undone. Others said,“It sure is getting darker outside. I need to take a picture of this.”

P.S. If you missed this eclipse, there won’t be another one in the U.S. until 2024. But it doesn’t take an eclipse to be undone. Your next opportunity to be undone is already forming. If you didn’t heed the call this time, how are you going to play it next time? Will you resist being undone, or will you look life in the eyes and let it have its way with you?

ATVB: Peripheral Artery Disease Diverse in Younger Adults

Study demonstrates the disease may be more common than previously presumed

MONDAY, April 12 (HealthDay News) -- In younger adults, severe non-coronary peripheral arterial disease is diverse and may be more common than previously thought, particularly in women, according to research presented at the Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology 2010 Scientific Sessions, held from April 8 to 10 in San Francisco.

Pavel J. Levy, and colleagues at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, N.C., studied 994 patients (54 percent men, 46 percent women, 85 percent white) aged 55 and younger who were treated at their vascular center between 1998 and 2009. The study excluded patients with end-stage renal disease, renal artery disease, arterial trauma, diabetic foot and those referred for primary amputation.

The researchers found that 640 (64 percent) of patients had premature lower extremity arterial disease, and 88 percent had advanced atherosclerotic changes. They found that 130 patients underwent carotid revascularizations, 87 presented with mesenteric vascular disease, 49 had repair of the abdominal aortic aneurysm, 46 had upper extremity ischemia due to embolism or wrist/palmar arterial occlusion, and 19 had Buerger's disease. They also observed that 19 (19.3 percent) of patients had multi-organ arterial disease. Of 551 patients who were studied prospectively, they observed that 88 (16 percent) had associated chronic diseases, such as malignancies in 43 (7.8 percent), autoimmune disease in 30 (5.4 percent), and chronic infections in 15 (2.7 percent).

"Non-coronary peripheral arterial disease in younger adults is diverse, and probably is more common than expected, especially in women," the authors conclude. "Greater awareness for early clinical manifestations of systemic atherosclerosis is warranted."

AHA News: Culture, Paycheck, Neighborhood Key to Your Heart's Health

social determinants of health

THURSDAY, March 21, 2019 (American Heart Association News) -- Eating a low-fat diet, getting regular exercise and watching your weight can help lower risk for heart disease and stroke.

But environmental and cultural factors also make a difference. So can how much you make for a living, especially if it barely brings in enough to pay for housing, groceries or the electricity bill.

Social determinants of health are factors that influence where and how people live, learn, work and play. They provide context to a person's life and can play just as big of a role in affecting health as medications and physical lifestyle changes.

The new prevention guidelines developed by the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology recognize that "socioeconomic inequalities are strong determinants" of cardiovascular risk.

Healthcare providers need to address social determinants when working with patients just as much as they might address a smoking habit or strategies to lower blood pressure or cholesterol, said Dr. Michelle Albert, a member of the guideline writing committee.

"Social determinants must be part of the cardiovascular prevention conversation with patients. Doctors know these things are important but typically, they've just focused on traditional risk factors," she said.

In a pie chart of cardiovascular disease, "only about 20 percent of cardiovascular risk is genetics. The other 80 percent is either behavioral or environmental," said Albert, a professor of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco and director of the Center for the Study of Adversity and Cardiovascular Disease.

"What we've done with our previous guidelines is focused on behaviors that are traditional risk factors when, in fact, social determinants are driving the show, especially for those communities where socioeconomic adversity and thus gaps in cardiovascular mortality persist," she said.

Social determinants of health influence a person's cardiovascular health factors and behaviors. For example, a person's neighborhood and how safe it feels can have an impact on the ability to both exercise and eat healthy, said Dr. Tiffany Powell-Wiley, chief of the Social Determinants of Obesity and Cardiovascular Risk Laboratory at National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

People who feel unsafe where they live may be more likely to stay home, resulting in less physical activity, she said.

"The feeling of being unsafe may cause you more stress and increase stress-related hormones," she said. "Those stress hormones may then promote weight gain. There's definite data to support a relationship between that feeling of safety and health markers like weight … and even blood pressure."

Allowing patients to put context to their lives can be the key to having them follow a healthcare provider's advice, Powell-Wiley said.

"If you live in a community where there are no sidewalks and there are no opportunities to be physically active, a physician telling you to exercise more may go in one ear and out the other," she said. "Or if you are told you need to eat a better diet, but you don't have any access to healthy foods in your community because the closest store is a convenience store or a gas station, the concept of eating healthy may not exist for you."

The new guidelines suggest ways for healthcare providers to embed social determinants into conversations about various risk factors. For example, when talking about diet modifications, "body size perception, as well as social and cultural influences, should be assessed," the guidelines say.

That's because some patients considered overweight on paper may think "their body looks perfectly fine" because of cultural beliefs and ideals, Albert said.

Taking a patient's lifestyle and background into consideration can be critical when trying to counsel people about lowering risks of cardiovascular disease, she said:

"Addressing social determinants can give you a bigger bang for your buck, likely, than using a pill."

I sense that we are finding a contemplative note in Druidry. To an extent we have had it for a while, but it’s becoming more assured. Last Saturday we had an open contemplative day in Stroud for Druids and fellow travellers willing to join us. I worked with Elaine Knight and Nimue Brown as co-facilitators. Some of the participants travelled a considerable distance for the event. Many of those present were new to each other. Some were new to this kind of event.

Yet the day felt very cohesive. For me, the group note resonated strongly though also softly. The vibration was a subtle one, interwoven with silence and stillness, whilst also clear and distinct. Building community together, and working together, we were more than the sum of our parts. We created a group identity, and sounded our note. I understand this as our small contribution and offering to the Oran Mor, the great song of what is.

I’ve been reflecting on how this happened, and on lessons to take forward. The main single factor has to be that everyone in the group understood the offer, was open to the experience, and wanted it to work. This is such an obvious aspect of a success that it can go unrecognised, like the so-called ‘placebo’ effect in healing: people engage their good will, almost unconsciously, and it has a strong positive effect.

On the facilitator side, there are several things we got right and that I want to remember. Having a record will help that.

We made a good choice of venue for the occasion, and this was supplemented by the blessing of a golden autumn day. The programme relied on activities, which someone at another of our events named as “simple but profound”. This choice is definitely part of our note. The building of our ritual container, whist still ‘lean’, was just a little bit more elaborate than in our local group. It clearly marked our sacred space and our expectations about how we would work in it.

I also found myself casting our circle in ‘the contemplative grove of druids’. This time I was careful to avoid the term ‘grove of contemplative druids’.  I have found naming ‘contemplative druidry’ to be a useful way of classifying a sub-set of interests within druidry. But I now believe that to think of people themselves as ‘contemplative druids’, a separate species within larger druid genus, is potentially divisive and doesn’t allow individuals to have inconveniently multiple interests. At the same time, when we join together in a contemplative event, we are indeed being intentional about contemplative practice. I have come to think of Contemplative Druid Events as a vehicle for a latent grove, a grove which constellates during our events and therefore deserves to be named. This grove provides space for our emerging note.

The note was considerably enriched when Nimue led a session that involved us in finding simple personal sounds and vocalising them over an extended period of time. After a while we could sense those diverse and discordant seeming sounds (our individual notes) come together as a collective sound where people spontaneously worked together. So the group note was worked for, discovered and explored in an absolutely literal way – and one which changed the atmosphere of the room. Later in the day, Elaine took the group through a version of an energy body exercise that went on to identify and reinforce the energetic connections between people, linking us as a group at subtle levels before moving into an animistic exercise. In my experience as a participant, these sections of the day were simple, profound and powerful too.

We made sure that we varied the pace of the day. Some of the work was relatively intense, but we had more leisurely and relaxed spaces as well, enjoyed time outside and made sure of an abundant supply of refreshments. For me, 3 October 2015 was a step forward in the evolution of our work. My heartfelt thanks to everyone involved.
