Focus On....
Subbuteo in the 1940s
Thanks mainly to collector Ashley Hemming, I have been able to update the website with details of the early years of Subbuteo. However, this information is spread around various sections of the website - history, box sets, accessory lists, team lists etc. The purpose of this page is simply to bring that information together in one place. It is a much-told story how Peter Adolph advertised his table soccer game before he had actually produced it. So it is unsurprising that the first few years see a lot of tweaks and changes as he refined the game, and as feedback came in.
Adolph produced regular updates and price lists, which were based around the standard English Football season i.e. August - May. It therefore makes sense to divide this page into seasons, and look at what was produced during each one.
The 1946-47 Season
Although Peter Adolph had clearly done some work on his game prior to August 1946, the start of this season saw the first two recorded instances of the game. The first advertisement for his soccer game appeared in the August 1946 issue of "The Boy's Own Paper", and his seven page patent application for the game was dated August 9th in the same year.
The oft-told tale is that Peter Adolph placed the first advert "to test the market" for a product he had not created. However, the patent document shows that he had actually been working hard on the game. Even this early in development were recognisable Subbuteo elements like Shooting areas (although originally curved), and an instruction to play the ball with the same player "no more than three times in succession". In addition, a player taking a throw in could not cross the touchline, and there was a positioning flick for corners and throw-ins.
Peter Adolph's lovely illustrations of the playing equipment in the patent show some of the designs used in the original sets, both with respect to the players and in the construction of the goals. Clearly he had produced a prototype game, and had been playing it (a lot) by August 1946.
The one item that was lost somewhere between the patent and the final product, was a wooden spoon, which was to be used to flick the players. Adolph did not illustrate this (it was just an ice cream spoon), but he had tested it, remarking that the handle was better for longer, harder flicks, whist the curved spoon allowed chipping. Somewhere between patent and production, it was worked out that using a finger was far more responsive.
The one thing Adolph had not given enough thought to was production. It makes for a less exciting tale, but it was this (rather than any game inventing) that caused the delay between original advert, and final launch.
In the early days, Adolph was also running a "natural history" business, and he was in American evaluating an egg collection, when the replies to his advert came through. There were so many responses, that his mother had to cable him to ask what she was supposed to do. Peter Adolph cut short his trip, and headed home to start production. In his book, Adolph's son Mark tells how his father, grandmother, and a friend named Jim Murphy turned a spare bedroom in the Adolph house into a production centre. With shortages still in place after the Second World War, and little experience, it was not an easy task.
The Original Subbuteo Set - March 1947.
This is the product that Peter Adolph finally launched in March 1947, over six months after his initial advert. This basic first product needed a ball, two teams, two goals, and a pitch to play on (and the box....). Obviously, providing the pitch would have been prohibitive in both cost and size, but the patent application mentioned marking out the pitch with "French Chalk", so clearly that was not going to be a problem. Everything else turned out to be very similar to the original patent designs.
Pleasingly, this first set does use the word "Subbuteo", which is introduced as a trade mark. Mind you, it only featured on the box, and delivery note, and the logo was very basic. Subbuteo was not mentioned anywhere on the rules, which simply called the game "Table Soccer". This helps to explain why Adolph's simultaneously launched club for players was simply called the "Table Soccer Players Association". The box also stated "Patent applied for No 23634-46".
The goals produced were already in the patent, and were simply copper wire frames with nets printed on blue paper. This goals remained unchanged in the basic set right through the 1950s. In these early sets, adhesive tape was provided to fix the nets to the frames.
The balls were acetate, and easily sourced, probably from blow-football suppliers. The original ball was a smooth two-tone affair coloured green and red, and these balls also occasionally feature in Newfooty sets of the era. However, Adolph's preference was for a realistic brown panelled ball, and these were certainly being used later in the 1940s. (Adolph began offering two colour balls, rather informally, in the accessory lists of the 1950s. I've never seen one in a set/collection though).
The problem (in the time available) were the playing figures. Both card player, and plastic base proved tricky to produce. In his original version of the game, Adolph had constructed the bases from a coat button of fortuitous design, acquired from Woolworths (possibly from a coat owned by his mother). This was weighted with a "pendulum washer", and the design can clearly be seen in the patent drawings. I think the plan was always for Adolph to produce his own bases, but knowing that he could not get these moulded in time, Adolph simply made a big order of buttons from Woolworths, and set about converting them. The pictures above show the result. You can clearly see the button hole!
This is the only set that has these original bases, and Adolph produced his own design as soon as possible. Therefore this is also the only set to feature "40 pendulum washers" on the content list. These neatly fitted into the base to provide much needed weight.
The goalkeeper handle was described as a "T-base and wire". Unlike the patent, the goalkeeper base is not rectangular, but has a rather fancy design. There is nothing else fancy about this set, so this item could also be converted from another use.
Returning to Mark Adolph's book, it is explained that getting the card playing figures manufactured was actually the slowest part of the process. They were eventually produced by Petty and Company in Leeds. They were a simple black and white illustration printed with red or blue shirts. The players were charmingly hand-drawn in a "comic book" style.
The rest of the paperwork was printed by Harding and Curtis Ltd, Bath. This included the all important four page rule book, plus despatch note, and sticker sheet to identify the players.
The other "item" to be launched with the game was the "Table Soccer Players Association". This was a way for Peter Adolph to keep in touch with his players, and to form a community. All members received a membership card and a club badge. Well, eventually they received a badge. Like everything else, the badges were delayed, and Peter Adolph had to send out a typed apology using the 1947 Fuel Crisis as a convenient excuse.
Although he had to struggle with complaints about the delay, the end product seems to have been a success. Nearly four hundred owners signed up for the Association between the launch in March and the end of May 1947. The original owner of the set illustrated (F Williams from Cardiff) was one of these early members.
This was the first full season for Adolph's Table Soccer, and saw increased use of the "Subbuteo" trade mark. The name finally made its first appearance in a "Boy's Own" advert in September 1947, and was also used as the title of the first issue of the Table Soccer Players Association journal. Peter Adolph was still calling the game "table soccer" in this leaflet, but the journal is named "Subbuteo", with trade mark registration pending.
At first glance, the box for this year seems identical to the launch version, but important changes have taken place. The contents now just list bases, with no pendulum washers (see below). Although the set does still list "T-bases" for the 'keepers, this now just described the normal round bases on a rod. Patents are now pending, and bases are "protected by British Registered Design No 851000".
The aforementioned TSPA journal, dated Autumn 1947, is full of useful information for the historian. Here, Adolph mentioned many new accessories for the game, although he has not started to number the range. The item that received the most attention was his new booklet called "Advanced Table Soccer", available for a shilling. This slim volume had pictures and discussions on the propulsion of figures, tactics, etiquette, and advanced rules such as offside.
The original version of "Advanced Table Soccer" is now illustrated above. From the second edition (shown below), this booklet gained a smart red cover, which lasted throughout the 1950s. Here though, was another plain white leaflet, with a rather dull "line-up" picture on the cover. Inside were various sections expanding on various aspects of the game, all described in a very sensible and serious manner. If at this point you are thinking it would be interesting to read Adolph's early thoughts on the game, then don't worry - you can.... I have a 1967-68 version of the Advanced rule book sitting on my lap as I write this, and most of the content is identical to the 1947 version. We have a foreword; the valuable hints in setting out the game; propulsion; tactics; your team as your favourite club; leagues; and finally the advanced rules. It is really only this final section that changed and expanded - with complicated "complete playing rules" arriving in the early 1950s. Most of the rest is word for word with the 1947 version.
Back in 1947, the advanced rules only covered three areas, goal scoring, off-side, and goal-keeping. The semi-circular shooting areas were replaced by an invisible line, half-way between goal and half-way (I believe Adolph could not get the curved lines printed onto a pitch), but in this period, you could actually score from your own half (never mind the shooting area), if you followed this Byzantine rule....
"If from your own half of the field, you propel the ball swiftly towards your opponent's half, and the ball hits any figure in his half and subsequently enters between the goal posts, a goal is only counted if the figure is nearer to the goal-line at the time of the conclusion of the shot, than to the half-way line." Clear? The Etiquette section advised that you had to warn the opponent if you were trying this (or indeed shooting in general).
The offside rule was introduced here, but only applied in the shooting area (as it does to this day). A modern-sounding "interfering with play" rule also applied, where the figure was only offside if playing the ball, having the ball played to him, or was nearest to the ball when it had stopped.
The advanced goalkeeper rules allowed the keeper to "touch the ball from any spot where he can reach whilst on the wire, but must not be used in billiard cue fashion in order to hit the ball. Instead, he may be taken off the wire holder and flicked against the ball by the usual method. (He) may only play the ball twice in the penalty area, and once outside. Should he miss the ball whilst off the wire.... (he) may only resume his correct position when the opposing side finish their immediate play." Is that one flick?
The "Your team as your favourite club" section showed Great Britain vs Rest of Europe (1947) as the example.
Perhaps the most interesting additional information in this leaflet, is in the "valuable hints in setting out the game" paragraph. This starts normally - "Green cloth similar to that used for Billiard Tables is the most effective material on which to play", but then it states "alternatively, a green plastic cloth, details of which you will find in the inserted Price List". Hold on.... Plastic? What was this early attempt at an official pitch? More details are required....
More important than the Advanced rules, but given far less fanfare, the journal announced that the button bases were being replaced by "super flattened bases scientifically designed", in the shape and style familiar to all collectors and players. These proper bases made the game look much more professional. The one-piece design also meant that Subbuteo did away with washers as weights (at least until the heavyweight era!). The bases were originally produced in red, blue, black and white for teams, with green and yellow for goalkeepers. This saw another early change, with the old 'T' base for goalkeepers retired. This allowed the goalkeeper to be removed from the rod in order to play the ball in the normal manner.
The first issue of the new bases were plain, with no name on the top surface. The Subbuteo named versions arrive by 1949-50. The plastic used in the early bases must have been of a different type to the later versions, and sixty years later, they are breaking down badly. This "blistering" continues into the early named bases (as shown above), although in my experience, the blue and green bases suffer much more seriously than the red bases.
Other early accessories advertised in the TSPA journal were "team sheets in the majority of League club colours", (although no examples are given), real netting for the goal frames (became Set I), and playing pitch cloths. The second edition of the journal (dated Winter 1947/48) had less of interest, but suggestions from players in this booklet helped Adolph fill out the accessory range. R. Nicholson pointed out that "spare goal-keeper figures would be of assistance in order always to have a rigid figure in the 'T' base and thus keep an important defence in good trim". Bent card 'keepers were always a problem, and Adolph replied that "the current price list details special goalkeeper sheets", which became Set H. Another player, Geoffrey Bush, was using cork and drawing pins to hold his goals securely in place. Adolph launched his own "goal holding device" the following year.
The first Companion game, Soccer Market - "A football card game for the odd moment" was also released in this season.
1948 also saw Subbuteo's first appearance at the Schoolboys' Own Exhibition, which was held at the New Horticultural Hall, in London, January 1st-10th 1948. It was obviously a big success, as Peter Adolph returned to the show every year until the early 1960s, and the Silver Cup competition was held there (along with a special "Open Competition"). The pictures from the original show, featuring Adolph and a few footballers of the day, appeared in Subbuteo paperwork through the 1950s. His advertising posters in these pictures show the Subbuteo name much more prominently than previous paperwork.
The 1947-48 rule book picture.
The 1947-48 rule book has the earliest published picture of Peter Adolph's football game in action that I've seen, and a couple of close ups are shown above. At first it seems a standard Subbuteo scene, but there are oddities. The two-tone ball, from the patent/original set is being used, the pitch is clearly chalked out, and the players look hand drawn. The actual date of this picture would be useful to know. This is clearly Peter Adolph's own set, and the hand-drawn players suggest an early date (after all, it took several months for the teams to be printed). However, if that is the case, then why are the players not on button bases, or the goalkeeper on a T-base?
A copy of the original rulebook might clear things up... This might have a picture of the button bases, or perhaps no picture at all. Of course, it is possible that Adolph was moving away from the button design before the first sets were produced, but the time constrains placed on him meant that he could not get his own bases moulded in time. That might also explain why the later bases, which arrived in the Autumn of 1947, looked the way they did.
The goal in this picture is also interesting. Although it has the familiar profile of the 1940s wire goal, the posts and crossbar are much thicker than might be expected. However, Ashley Hemming tells me that the heavy white material across the posts, crossbar, and back bar, is the original white tape from accessory set I. This was a Hessian type material which was used prior to the more familiar acetate piping. This is also an early example of "real netting".
The pitch, goals and ball all reappear in the 1948 Schoolboys' Own Exhibition pictures. However, a close-up of that event on the 1949-50 "Spin" leaflet clearly shows standard players, not the hand drawn ones.
This action picture was actually retaken for the 1949-50 version of the rules, using standard equipment (see that season for details).
The third edition of the Assembly Outfit saw the registered "Subbuteo" name receive a bigger profile. As this set still advertised "T-bases" for the goalkeepers, it may have come into existence during the previous campaign. However, the box does match nicely to the cricket version first produced in January 1949.
The rules sheet received an update too, and saw the first use of a "kicking footballer" logo. This logo made it onto the box by Spring 1949, and was also seen on Subbuteo's headed paper, the fixture cards, and even on the "white box" OO scale teams in the early 1960s, despite being replaced by a better version in the late 1950s. The new rule book advised that patents had been granted, although it was otherwise unchanged.
The Advanced table soccer booklet was given a second edition in the Autumn of 1948. This was the first version to get a professional looking red cover. Within were three additions to the rules by table soccer players, which were adopted for sectional league matches. The first gave a chance to flick the goalkeeper at any ball in the penalty area, whether it was his turn to play the ball or not. The goalkeeper could be replaced on the wire if he hit the ball, but not otherwise. The second rule was a rudimentary blocking flick rule, where two defensive flicks were given when the ball was in the defender's half. The third rule was by Belgian organiser George Samson, who became managing director of Subbuteo Sports Games Ltd in the early 1970s. His long lasting amendment was for three flicks at corners (instead of one), in order to crowd the goal, and bring the game closer to real football. The booklet also explained that "Subbuteo is played extensively in Belgium, and it is intended to arrange a yearly match between the champion players of the two nations". The Advanced rule books were updated yearly, with the 3rd edition produced late in 1949.
This season saw the production of the first full "price list of accessories and components". This annually produced list obviously makes dating items from this year onwards much easier. The list was laid out in alphabetical order, and had already reached Set "O". All the items previously mentioned appeared in the range between A and K (balls and goal frames were also in this early part of the range, but I assume these were also available in 1947). New items included deluxe fully assembled goals (Set N), and the first item that was not essential for play, Set L, the referee and linesmen team sheet. The "Super Flattened bases" were offered in new colours - old gold, tangerine, and green (previously offered only as a goalkeeper base). The team colours were also listed for the first time. The new base colours were designed to go with ref six (old gold/black), ref thirteen (tangerine/white) and ref fifteen (green/white) respectively. This was the only list to have reference five listed as "black and white striped shirts, white shorts".
Shown above are a range of the cut-out teams of the period - ref 11 (Peter Adolph's team Queens Park Rangers), ref 4, and the above mentioned refs 15 (front) and 6 (back). The final figure is the goalkeeper for Queens Park Rangers, who in unusual, as he is a standard, short-sleeved player. The second picture shows a nice mix of "Super Flattened bases". Note that these do not have any Subbuteo markings at this early stage (and as usual with early bases, the plastic is suffering from fatigue.
The most important addition was Set "O", the final accessory in the range. These were the first celluloid teams, "stamped out in an unbreakable celluloid material". Initially, these were only available in the standard red/white, and blue/white colours.
Another interesting addition to the 1948-49 list was "The New Super Assembled" edition, complete with marked out pitch. Sadly, "owing to the difficulties of the times, the sale of the complete Super Assembled set is restricted to Exports abroad and for Educational purposes in the UK". Examples of organisations within the UK who were allowed to order the sets were schools, football clubs, youth clubs, scout troops, and Boy's Brigade companies. No price was given, but a brochure was available to those "who can enquire on their official headed note paper". This set did not reappear on any other price-list, until a mass-market version was introduced in the early 1950s.* (see below).
The second companion game, the wonderful "Subbuteo cricket" was released in January 1949. The set utilised the football bases, and the same shape figures, cleverly producing another playable game with minimal extra tooling or investment.
The final boxed set of the 1940s saw another tweak to the lid with the arrival of the logo, and further enhancements inside. The biggest change was the arrival of the press-out card teams. These were first mentioned in a mid-season reissue of the 1949-50 catalogue, dated to February 1950. The set I own (shown above) had press-out teams and paperwork, although it also had the earlier version of the 1949-50 catalogue.
However, to make things more complicated, I have also seen the logo on an earlier set, probably from the 1948-49 season. Sadly, this set did not have a price list to date it absolutely, but it did include an advertising brochure postmarked to January 1949. (type as shown below, on the right). As this was postmarked, it was clearly sent to the owner separately, and it can be assumed that he ordered the set from the information on the brochure. This set still had paperwork mentioning cut-out players, and had bases with no logos. It also had the 1948-49 rule book shown in that section (and a spin leaflet). However, the teams present in the set were press-out.
In the later 1949-50 set that I own, the rules had been reprinted (again). These now quoted two British patents (616782 and 616715) and two British registered design numbers (851000 and 853038). The other big difference was that the front cover picture had been retaken using updated Subbuteo equipment. The ball and figures were in near identical positions, but the ball, goal, and players were all now recognisable products, and the pitch was printed rather than drawn in chalk....Inside the booklet though, the rules were still unchanged, so the semi-circular shooting areas were still in the basic rules. However, the Spin! leaflet had the new version, as used at the 1948 Schoolboy Exhibition (i.e. nearer the opponents goal than the half-way line). The advanced booklet was unchanged this year, with the third edition not advertised until the 1950-51 catalogue.
The price list received three updates during this season. An "amendments and additions" list was issued in July 1949, and saw sets P to U introduced. That list also stated that team reference 5 was not now stocked. However, reference 17 was introduced. The celluloid teams on set "O" were now available in all colours, and perhaps importantly, "now manufactured in a new lightweight plastic".
The full 1949-50 price list had an improved two-colour look, and a full table of team colours, now increased to twenty five strips. The third update (issued February 1950), saw in the new decade with press-out card teams available in refs 1, 2, 5 (new sky blue version), 15, and 18-24.
The Belgian Editions.
As mentioned earlier on this page, Peter Adolph stated that Subbuteo was "played extensively in Belgium" in his Advanced Soccer leaflet (second edition). These two pictures show "football de table" sets, with and without the kicking footballer logo. The older set (without the logo) still had cut-out teams, one of which was Belgium - red shirts, and black shorts. It is interesting to note that these two sets are in a deeper box than the British version, which allowed the goals to be stored once assembled.
The Super Assembled Set.
As mentioned above, the Super Assembled set was first advertised in 1948-49, but "restricted to Exports abroad and for Educational purposes in the UK". It then disappeared from the accessory lists until 1953. However, more investigation has shown that this set was available throughout the period. The set shown above had paperwork dated to 1949-50, and I know of a set from the previous year. Although the box looks very similar to the 1950s incarnation, there are differences. Firstly, the box is the lovely deep red of the other 1940s boxes. More importantly, the label states "patents pending in Great Britain and other countries". Later sets have the full patent details. This was the first set to feature the celluloid teams, and supply a pitch.
It is interesting to note that the illustrations on the label both date back to the 1947-48 paperwork. The photo under the words Subbuteo "Table Soccer" was first used on the TSPA handbook (it was Great Britain vs Rest of Europe from May 1947). The pitch illustration was very clearly based on the photo on the original "Advanced Table Soccer" leaflet - with regards to both the angle of pitch, and the position of the players.
The Team Colours Project


The Social Security Administration has announced a 2.8 percent increase to benefits in 2019.
Though Medicare Part B premiums will also increase, many retirees will still see bigger checks starting in January.
There are two ways to find out just how much you will receive: through your online Social Security account or paper statements you receive in the mail.
If you're like other retirees, you're eager to see just how big your Social Security check will be next year.
"While thousands and thousands of our beneficiaries are accessing their notices online, our online portal is experiencing higher than normal volumes of log in attempts," a Social Security spokeswoman said. "Some of our customers are not receiving their one-time pass code.
"If they experience this problem, we ask them to please try again later."
About 2 million Medicare beneficiaries will actually pay less than $135.50 next year due to the "hold harmless" provision that protects certain beneficiaries from paying more for their Part B premiums.

Robert Ludlum, American author, Died at 73
Robert Ludlum died on March 12, 2001 at the age of 73; he was an American author of 27 thriller novels. Born in New York City, the son of Margaret (née Wadsworth) and George Hartford Ludlum on May 25, 1927, his maternal grandparents were English.
He was educated at The Rectory School then Cheshire Academy and Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, where he earned a B.A. in Drama. While at Wesleyan, Ludlum joined the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.
In the 1950s, he produced shows at the Grant Lee theatre in Fort Lee, NJ. From 1960 to 1970, he managed and produced shows at the Playhouse on the Mall in Paramus, New Jersey.
His theatrical experience may have contributed to his understanding of the energy, escapism and action that the public wanted in a novel. He once remarked: "I equate suspense and good theatre in a very similar way. I think it's all suspense and what-happens-next.
Ludlum's novels were often inspired by conspiracy theories, both historical and contemporary. He wrote that The Matarese Circle was inspired by rumours about the Trilateral Commission, and it was published only a few years after the commission was founded.
His depictions of terrorism in books such as The Holcroft Covenant and The Matarese Circle reflected the theory that terrorists, rather than being merely isolated bands of ideologically motivated extremists, are actually pawns of governments or private organizations who are using them to facilitate the establishment of authoritarian rule.
Among the most popular books by Robert Ludlum is the Bourne series. Although these books were not written and published one immediately after the other, they still form a trilogy sequel of one another.
Even after his passing away, the legacy of Robert Ludlum's Bourne trilogy has been propagated by the author Eric Van Lustbader in books such as The Bourne Betrayal and The Bourne Dominion among many others.
The Bourne Identity has its main character as Jason Bourne. It focuses on the life story of Mr Bourne who happens to have retrograde amnesia and must therefore find out his true identity.
This is captured well as the book begins with Jason being rescued by fishermen who find him floating in the Mediterranean Sea. Jason discovers he cannot remember anything after he got hit severely on the head.
A visit to the local doctor leads to the discovery of a microfilm surgically implanted in Jason's hip. Information from this microfilm reveals his name as Jason Bourne who worked for a company known as Treadstone Corporation. It leads him to a bank in Zurich and while there, three men launch an attack on him.

Oil prices rose for a fourth day on Wednesday, pushing Brent towards $70 a barrel as support from OPEC-led supply cuts and USA sanctions overshadowed a report showing an unexpected rise in US inventories.
Brent for June settlement rose 30 cents to $69.67 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange as of 10:07 a.m.in London, having earlier climbed to $69.96.
Data released by the Energy Information Administration this morning showed that crude inventory in the USA rose 7.24 million barrels in the week ended March 29, against expectations of a drop of over 0.4 million barrels.
Meanwhile, the American Petroleum Institute (API) reported that USA crude oil inventories climbed by 3.0 million barrels in the week ended 29 March 2019.
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) oil supply sank to a four-year low in March, a Reuters survey found, as top exporter Saudi Arabia over-delivered on the group's supply-cutting pact while Venezuelan output fell further due to sanctions and power outages.
Crude Oil is trading in the overbought zone after a series of fundamentals.
Money managers boosted their net long position in WTI by 29 million barrels and increased the net long position in Brent by 13 million barrels in the week ending March 26, according to data from commodity exchanges compiled by Reuters' John Kemp.
Last week, the API reported a surprise build in crude oil of 1.93 million barrels. Russian Federation pledged to gradually cut its oil output by two percent from October's output of 11.4 million bpd, equaling 228,000 bpd. Brent's prompt spread traded at 44 cents in backwardation, a market structure where prices in the near term are stronger than those further out.
Official numbers from the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) are due out later on Wednesday. Yet by preventing the re-emergence of a supply glut, the group has stoked the ire of President Donald Trump and heightened the risk of legal moves against the cartel in the U.S. Rising prices may also influence White House decision-making on sanctions against cartel-members Iran and Venezuela.
"The noticeable decline in drilling activity since the start of the year also points to less dynamic growth in USA oil production", Commerzbank said.

Q: Play! Framework JPA [RuntimeException: No EntityManager bound to this thread. Try to annotate your action method with @play.db.jpa.Transactional] I have a Question regarding the JPA Usage in Play.
I have already created a Model Class and annotated it with @Entity, and a Controller Class, in which i have a static method annotated with @play.db.jpa.Transactional. When i start activator run, everything is compiled correctly, and the Database is started, but as soon as the Code where i call the Entity Manager via
    EntityManager em =  play.db.jpa.JPA.em();

a NullException is thrown.
As far as I am concerned, the persistence.xml and the application.conf is correct, i have already researched the web, but to no avail.
What are possible Solutions for this?
Thanks in advance!
Here is the concrete Piece of code where I use the JPA:
public class UserController extends Controller {

@play.db.jpa.Transactional
public static Result registerResponse(){
    System.out.println("registerResponse called!");
    Form<MyUser> regForm = Form.form(MyUser.class).bindFromRequest();

    if (regForm.hasErrors()) {
        System.out.println("bad request");
        System.out.println("Form: " + regForm.toString());
        System.out.println("Errors: "+regForm.errors().toString());
        return badRequest(views.html.registration.render(regForm,Arrays.asList(Avatar.values())));
    } else {
        MyUser newuser = regForm.get();
        System.out.println("persisting");

        EntityManager em =  play.db.jpa.JPA.em();  //Here is the Nullpointer exception
        em.persist(newuser);
        System.out.println("persisted");
        return ok(authentication.render(Form.form(Login.class)));
    }
}

A: I think that you do not need to instatiate this class, you need to use he methods in play.db.jpa.JPA.em()
change this
EntityManager em =  play.db.jpa.JPA.em();  //Here is the Nullpointer exception
em.persist(newuser);

by this:
try {
            JPA.em().persist(newuser);
        }
        catch(PersistenceException pe){
            //the code for the exception
        }

with the import import play.db.jpa.JPA;

Well here's where I'm supposed to write a bit about myself. And something that's transpiring to be the hardest page of the Chasing the Sunrise website to update!
Since I've been on the road people I meet tend to ask what I do. It's an obvious question but one I struggle to answer. I guess technically I'm a cyclist now – though having always been a mountain biker that's a tough admission. In some ways I'm retired, perhaps not for ever but retired for a year or three from my career as a ship designer. I'm also, or have also been a mechanic, a teacher and a mountaineer by qualification, but have been designing and building ships for the most part in the years preceeding the Snapshot of the World journey.
I'm a traveller with a bicycle and a boat I guess. A photographer, blogger or travel writer to some extent but I'm more comfortable fixing a bike than writing about it!
I'm writing this at the time of the first major update of the Chasing the Sunrise website since Gavin and I put it together in 2014. Whilst I've kept the photography going, I've yet to really get my head in gear for writing again. Things are slowly getting straight and I'm finding more time for it. But I was hardly feeling proficient enough to accept the offer of a regular column in Cycling World just yet!
Growing up in a small town in Wiltshire, England, access to the countryside had always been convenient and, much to the disgust of my parents exacting expectations of cleanliness and appearance, I started mountain biking at as a teenager and bikes have always featured throughout my life. The freedom, the accessibility, the technical and the fun all adding to their appeal. A way in which to escape!
After moving to Plymouth, first to study and later staying to work, I discovered climbing and mountaineering. These hobbies along with mountain biking had always led to places that few others have the opportunity to see and experience.

We've all heard that we should drink more water to lose weight. But if you're like many dieters, you often grab a soda or a sports drink because it tastes better. Wouldn't it be great if you craved water the same way you crave sweetened beverages? Well, you can with a few simple tricks. Use these healthy flavored water recipes for weight loss.
Flavored water that you buy in the store often contains added sugar or artificial sweeteners. The products are often a source of empty calories that will derail your diet. So why not make your own healthy flavored water at home?
Your own healthy water recipe can be as simple as putting frozen strawberries in water or as complicated as combining savory herbs and vegetables. The key is to experiment with different flavors until you find one or two that you really enjoy. Try any of these combinations.
Add frozen berries to water. Why bother with boring ice cubes when you can add frozen berries instead? Frozen blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries keep your water cold and add flavor. They also add a pop of color to your drink. You can either add a few frozen berries directly to your water (buy them in bulk at the grocery store) or use ice cube trays to freeze berries into cubes. Berry flavored water will help to reduce your cravings for sweet treats and you may even save money and avoid waste in the process. Take fresh berries that are going bad and throw them in the freezer for later use.
Make cucumber water. If you prefer a flavor that is less sweet, then you'll love cucumber water. Simply add a few slices to your glass and the subtle flavor gives your water a fresh, spa-like taste. If you have more time, fill a pitcher with a handful of cucumber slices and let it sit in your refrigerator. The cool flavor will help you skip the urge to drink a cold soda or crave junk foods. Try freezing cucumber slices to add to water instead of ice cubes.
Make orange water or add other citrus flavors. Lemons and limes can make your water look more sophisticated and add a hint of flavor, but don't forget about other citrus fruits. Oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, and mandarins also taste great in water. Keep a bowl of fruit slices in your refrigerator to mix and match throughout the day. My favorite combination is orange and basil. Add a few slices of orange and a few sprigs of basil to a pitcher of water and let it sit for an hour or two. The mixture sounds odd but this delicious water recipe kills my cravings for salty savory foods. If you prefer a hot drink, add a slice of lemon to hot water in the morning. It makes a great pick-me-up that adds no calories.
Make mint water. Make refreshing mint ice cubes by throwing a small sprig of spearmint, peppermint, or lemon mint into the ice cube tray, then add water and freeze. You can also make these healthy flavored water cubes with your favorite herbs, like rosemary or basil. This water recipe is best for people who don't like sweetened beverages but still prefer some flavor. And sometimes the taste of mint can reduce your urge to snack so this healthy water is great for weight loss.
Juice cubes for children (or adults!). If you're trying to cut back on sweetened beverages in your home, try this trick. Kids love it and you will too. Grab your favorite juice and freeze it into cubes. Lemonade also works well. Then toss the colorful cubes into a glass of water when you need a drink. You'll get some of the flavor from the juice but far fewer calories. You can blend flavors too. Throw colorful cubes of orange juice and lemonade into a tall glass of water and enjoy.
When you start to drink more water, you'll find that you drink less soda, less coffee, and fewer high-calorie drinks. You'll notice three health and weight loss benefits.
Drinking more water helps you to feel full throughout the day so you eat the right number of calories from snacks.
And while you might drink water to lose weight, you'll find that it's good for your wallet as well. Have you ever thought about the annual cost of your soda habit? The total cost of your daily soda may be more than you realize. So, for the sake of your waistline and your wallet, give these healthy water recipes a try.
Does Drinking Water Really Help With Weight Loss?

A Perfect Eastern Ontario Escape
When a couple decides to leave the hectic pace of Toronto and return to their rural roots in Eastern Ontario, it's only natural that they would buy land in an idyllic setting. With a view of a gorgeous, clear lake to one side and acres of undisturbed forest to the other, that's exactly the spot that one couple found for themselves. The key was finding the right home to build there. It was by chance that they found the inspiration for that home at the Atkinson Home Building Centre, with locations in Kingston and Hartington, Ontario.
"We had no idea that Home Building Centre dealers sold houses," they said. Then, while in the store to make some routine purchases, the couple noticed a sign advertising the Home & Cottages Design Book. "We bought the book, took it home, went through it in detail and found the home we liked."
Their chosen model, the Rosseau, appealed to them as a home "that suited the environment in which we were building. We didn't want something that would look too urban, or modern or in any way out of place in such a beautiful setting." With its stone façade, expansive wooden deck, hardwood floors, vaulted living room ceiling and stunning fireplace, the home is very much the picture of a relaxing, rustic retreat.
A COMPLETE ABOUT FACE
Close as the Rosseau was to their ideal vision, there were still modifications to the plans that could be made to suit the specific situation. "We had built houses before," the couple points out, "and we already had our own design done but it was going to be too expensive to finish the way we wanted." By comparison, building a home through Home Building Centre was very affordable.
"Once we had the design picked, we called the store and inquired about the details. The man we spoke with, Wayne Sayeau, was very polite and courteous, and the price was quite reasonable."
Even though the couple felt the house design was the right one for their future and their property, there was one significant adjustment that had to be made before anything else could happen.
"We turned the house around," they say. "We reversed it so that the dormers and all the windows in the house are looking out over the lake. That's actually the front of the house, but the style is such that you could use either side as the front. It just made sense to us that, beautiful as the forest is, the view over the lake is spectacular and we didn't want to give that up."
In addition to turning the house in the direction of their choosing, a larger window was added to the parlour to enhance the lake view further still.
Although many people choose to have their homes built through their local Home dealers, using Home-approved contractors and craftspeople, this couple wanted to do the work themselves. Using their previous experiences in home building, they made numerous changes to take maximum advantage of the lakefront location, and also to modify the interior to suit their lifestyle to the greatest advantage.
"The plan called for a ground floor laundry room that backed on to the den. We prefer a laundry room on the second floor. So we expanded the den to take over much of the laundry room space, and converted the rest of the laundry room space into a small powder room.
"On the second floor, we took space that was planned to be used for a linen closet and also a small nook from one of the bedrooms and created a laundry room."
In addition, closet sizes were altered to create more space in the bedrooms and other smaller modifications were made allowing two people to find their perfect escape in Eastern Ontario.
SERVICE THAT MADE A CHALLENGING JOB EASIER
Since they were living in Toronto while building their house in the country, construction could only take place on weekends. That posed specific problems for people undertaking such a complex and difficult task. For example, what do you do with the building materials from one week to the next?
"Wayne is just such a wonderful person," the home builders say about Atkinson Home Building Centre's Wayne Sayeau. "He worked with us. He understood that our situation was unique in that we could work only a couple of days a week. So Wayne held the material for us and delivered it to our job site on an as-needed basis." The couple was quick to point out that, while what was done for them was specific to their needs, they're not the only people who benefited from such creative assistance. "They work with all their customers to accommodate different circumstances and that just made it so much better for us." This system helped ease the tension of the construction process which, under less ideal conditions, can be fraught with stress and aggravation.
Would this couple, with their lakeside refuge now complete, recommend to other people that they, too, build their home or cottage with Home Building Centre's plans, materials and assistance. The two are unanimous and emphatic, "Yes, we would."
Looking at their beautiful home, nestled in the sunshine between trees and lake, it's easy to understand why.

Biografia

Infanzia ed educazione
È nato ad Amman il 26 gennaio 1964 dal principe Ra'ad bin Zeid di Giordania, pretendente al trono dell'Iraq, e dalla principessa svedese Margaretha Inga Elisabeth Lind. Sua nonna paterna era una pittrice turca, la Principessa Fahrelnissa Zeid che era sposata con il principe Zeid bin Hussein.

Il fratello minore di Zeid, Principe Mired, è il presidente della Commissione nazionale per la demolizione e la riabilitazione della Giordania e inviato speciale della Convenzione sul divieto di utilizzo, stoccaggio, produzione e trasferimento di mine antiuomo e sulla loro Distruzione, e del Trattato di Ottawa che cerca di eliminare l'uso delle mine antiuomo.

È stato poi uno studente ricercatore presso il Christ's College di Cambridge, dove ha conseguito un Dottorato di ricerca nel 1993. Nel 2016 è stato nominato Membro Onorario del Christ's College di Cambridge.

Carriera militare
Zeid ha ricevuto una incarico come ufficiale della polizia del deserto giordana (il successore della Legione araba) nel 1989, e ha prestato servizio fino al 1994. Ha quindi trascorso due anni come ufficiale politico nell'UNPROFOR, la forza delle Nazioni Unite nell'ex Jugoslavia.

Matrimonio
Zeid si sposò il 5 luglio 2000 ad Amman con Sarah Butler, conosciuta come la principessa Sarah Zeid dopo essersi sposati, celebrando il matrimonio a Houston, in Texas, il 1 ° agosto 1972. Ha studiato presso Prior's Field, Hurtwood House nel Surrey, e ha conseguito una laurea in relazioni internazionali presso l'Università di St. Thomas a Houston, in Texas e un Master in Studi sullo sviluppo presso la School of Oriental and African Studies a Londra. Successivamente ha lavorato presso l'Organizzazione delle Nazioni Unite a New York, dove ha prestato servizio nel programma di sviluppo, nel dipartimento per il mantenimento della pace e nell'Unicef. Sua moglie è la figlia del dottor Godfrey Butler, geologo britannico e consulente di compagnie petrolifere internazionali, e di Jean H. Butler.

Carriera diplomatica
Zeid è stato rappresentante delegato permanente della Giordania presso le Nazioni Unite dal 1996 al 2000. Nell'agosto del 2000 è stato nominato rappresentante permanente presso le Nazioni Unite, fino al 2007. Nel 2006, è stato nominato dalla Giordania come candidato alla selezione come prossimo Segretario generale delle Nazioni Unite. Dal 2007 al 2010 è stato Ambasciatore della Giordania negli Stati Uniti d'America, poi nel 2010 è tornato alle Nazioni Unite come rappresentante permanente della Giordania.

Nel gennaio 2014, Zeid è diventato presidente del Consiglio di sicurezza delle Nazioni Unite e ha presieduto i comitati 1533 e 1521 del Consiglio di sicurezza, per quanto riguarda due regimi di sanzioni: la Repubblica Democratica del Congoe la Liberia.

Dal 16 settembre 2010 al 7 marzo 2012, Zeid è stato presidente del consiglio della specifica configurazione del paese della Commissione per il consolidamento della pace delle Nazioni Unite per la Liberia. Ha anche presieduto il comitato di ricerca per la selezione del secondo procuratore della Corte penale internazionale nel 2011.

Con riferimento alla Corte penale internazionale, e dal 1996 al 2010, è stato:
 Presidente dell'Assemblea degli Stati membri dello Statuto di Roma della Corte penale internazionale (2002-2005).
 Presidente dei negoziati informali sugli "elementi" dei singoli reati che rientrano nei crimini di genocidio, crimini contro l'umanità e crimini di guerra (1999–2000).
 Presidente del gruppo di lavoro sul crimine di aggressione alla Review Conference of the Rome Statute a Kampala (giugno 2010).

Mentre era alle Nazioni Unite, ha inoltre presieduto il Comitato consultivo per il Fondo di sviluppo delle Nazioni Unite per le donne (UNIFEM) dal 2004 al 2007 e, nel 2004, è stato nominato consigliere del Segretario generale per lo sfruttamento e gli abusi sessuali nel Peacekeeping delle Nazioni Unite. Durante il suo mandato di due anni, pubblicò un rapporto sull'eliminazione di tali abusi da tutte le operazioni di mantenimento della pace, che divenne noto come "Rapporto Zeid".

Ha tenuto la Grotius Lecture alla 102ª riunione annuale dell'American Society of International Law nell'aprile 2008, intitolata For Love of Country e International Criminal Law. È stato anche membro del Consiglio consultivo della Banca Mondiale per il Rapporto sullo sviluppo mondiale 2011 e del Consiglio consultivo internazionale dell'Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation.

Il 6 giugno 2014, il Segretario generale delle Nazioni Unite Ban Ki-moon ha proposto che il Principe Zeid sostituisca Navanethem Pillay come capo dei diritti umani delle Nazioni Unite con sede a Ginevra. La nomina, che è stata successivamente approvata Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite di 193 nazioni, lo ha reso il primo musulmano a guidare l'Ufficio per i diritti umani delle Nazioni Unite. I testi completi di tutte le sue dichiarazioni sono disponibili sul sito web dell'Ufficio dell'Alto commissario per i diritti umani. In tale veste ha affermato: "Non può mai esistere alcuna giustificazione per il degrado, l'incuria o lo sfruttamento di altri esseri umani - su qualsiasi base: nazionalità, razza, Etnia, religione, genere, Orientamento sessuale, Disabilità, età o Casta ".

Alto commissario delle Nazioni Unite per i diritti umani

L'8 settembre 2014, nel suo discorso inaugurale al Consiglio per i diritti umani delle Nazioni Unite, composto da 47 membri, durante la 27ª sessione del corpo a Ginevra, Zeid ha fortemente criticato il cosiddetto gruppo dello Stato Islamico (organizzazione), affermando che stava cercando di creare una "casa del sangue". Ha invitato la comunità internazionale a combattere la diffusione del movimento in Iraq e in Siria, chiedendo: "Loro credono che l'ISIS agisca coraggiosamente, massacrando barbari e prigionieri?" I massacri, le decapitazioni, lo stupro e la tortura "rivelano solo come sarebbe uno stato Takfiri (cioè" scomunicatore "in arabo), se questo movimento dovesse effettivamente cercare di governare in futuro", ha detto. "Sarebbe una casa di sangue aspra e meschina, in cui non verrebbe offerta alcuna ombra, né un riparo dato a tutti i non-Takfiri in mezzo a loro".In un discorso al Museo del memoriale dell'Olocausto degli Stati Uniti, il Commissario ha affermato che le lezioni "impartite" dall'Olocausto forniscono una chiave per comprendere l'ISIS. Ha detto: "Se abbiamo imparato qualcosa dalla nostra storia collettiva, è questo: creare problemi solo per noi stessi, il nostro popolo, la nostra ideologia politica o religiosa, o per il nostro stesso genere, porterà a creare difficoltà in tutto - alla fine, a volte in modo orribile - per tutti." Secondo i resoconti della stampa, ha affermato che "La soluzione che ha proposto di evitare atrocità come l'Olocausto è stata l'educazione ai Diritti umani per ogni bambino nel mondo, a partire dall'età di nove anni. "In questo modo, dalle scuole parrocchiali cattoliche alle istituzioni pubbliche secolari e alle madrasa islamiche, i bambini potrebbero imparare - anche all'asilo - e sperimentare i valori fondamentali dei diritti umani di uguaglianza, giustizia e rispetto." "

Il nuovo commissario si è anche concentrato su altre aree problematiche del mondo, tra cui Venezuela, Ucraina e Striscia di Gaza. Le sue dichiarazioni stampa sono disponibili sul sito web del suo ufficio.

Ha partecipato al Consiglio di sicurezza sull'Iraq e altri paesi e ha parlato della necessità di un ulteriore coraggio morale per garantire l'uguaglianza e i diritti umani per tutti: "I bambini hanno bisogno di imparare cosa sono il bigottismo e lo sciovinismo e il male che possono produrre. Devono imparare che l'obbedienza cieca può essere sfruttata da figure autoritarie per fini malvagi. Dovrebbero anche imparare che non sono emarginati a causa di dove sono nati, come appaiono, quale passaporto hanno, o la classe sociale, la casta a cui appartengono o il credo dei loro genitori; dovrebbero imparare che nessuno è intrinsecamente superiore a lei o ai suoi simili. . .  Purtroppo, devono imparare che il campo Zeppelin, l'ombra di Buchenwald, il luccichio del machete e l'orrore della vita oggi in Siria, Iraq, Sud Sudan, Repubblica Centrafricana e altrove - ovunque viviamo, non sono mai così lontani".

Ha affermato che gli Stati Uniti avevano l'obbligo, ai sensi del diritto internazionale, di cacciare tutti i responsabili delle torture della CIA, e coloro che effettuavano interrogatori a politici e dirigenti che davano ordini.

Il 17 aprile 2015, Zeid ha posto il direttore delle operazioni sul campo presso l'OHCHR, Anders Kompass, in congedo amministrativo dopo che Kompass ha fornito alle autorità francesi un rapporto interno delle Nazioni Unite che riportava l'abuso sessuale di bambini da parte delle truppe francesi di mantenimento della pace delle Nazioni Unite nella Repubblica. La decisione è stata annullata il 5 maggio 2015 dopo essere stata giudicata " Udienza preliminare illegale" dal Tribunale delle controversie delle Nazioni Unite.

Il 27 aprile dello stesso anno, Zeid ha criticato una colonna di The Sun scritta da Katie Hopkins per aver usato il termine "scarafaggi" per riferirsi ai migranti, descrivendolo come simile alla propaganda nella Germania nazista e agli autori del genocidio del Ruanda contro le loro vittime.

Nel settembre 2015, Zeid ha criticato l'Intervento saudita in Yemen. Il suo rapporto affermava che la coalizione militare a guida saudita potesse essere colpevole di Crimine di guerra. Nell'ottobre 2016, ha dichiarato: "L'incapacità del Consiglio per i diritti umani di intraprendere azioni decisive avviando un'indagine internazionale che sta contribuendo a creare un clima di impunità e le violazioni continuano a verificarsi regolarmente. Di fronte a tali attacchi oltraggiosi non si può continuare".

Nell'agosto 2016, Zeid ha denunciato le epurazioni post colpo di stato in Turchia. Zeid ha affermato che mentre si opponeva al tentativo di colpo di stato turco del 2016, le purghe ad ampio raggio hanno mostrato una "sete di vendetta" che era allarmante.

Il 17 agosto 2016, Zeid ha espresso profondo rammarico per l'incapacità dell'Ufficio per i diritti umani delle Nazioni Unite di ottenere l'accesso al Kashmir, nonostante le accuse di sponsorizzazione da parte dello stato della violenza e le notizie quasi quotidiane di violenza nella regione.

Dopo la morte del Premio Nobel per la pace cinese Liu Xiaobo, morto a causa del fallimento di un organo durante la custodia del governo, Zeid ha dichiarato che "Il movimento per i diritti umani in Cina e in tutto il mondo ha perso un campione di principi che gli ha dedicato la vita a difendere e promuovere i diritti umani, in modo pacifico e coerente, ed è stato incarcerato per aver difeso le sue convinzioni".

Nel 2019, è stato nominato Cavaliere commendatore onorario dell'Ordine di San Michele e San Giorgio (KCMG), per i servizi di promozione e protezione dei diritti umani.

Anche nel 2019 Zeid è stato inserito nell'American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Accuse di intervento di politica interna come HCHR
Come commissario, il mandato della carica di Zeid include il diritto di contestare i governi di quelle nazioni che sono monitorati e sorpresi a violare i diritti umani. Dato che queste dichiarazioni riguardano questioni di politica interna degli Stati membri delle Nazioni Unite, frequenti discussioni contro le critiche indicano che la censura dei singoli stati è prossima a compromettere la Sovranità statale.

Nel giugno 2016, ha espresso la propria opinione sul voto referendario del Regno Unito sull'opportunità di lasciare l'Unione europea, il cosiddetto processo Brexit. Zeid ha esortato le autorità del Regno Unito a tentare di prevenire gli attacchi xenofobi a seguito del voto.

A settembre è stato riferito che l'OHCHR ha twittato con rabbia il "fondamentalismo del libero mercato", nel contesto delle tirate di Zeid contro i "populisti" europei e americani. Chiamando Nigel Farage e Donald Trump "demagoghi", il commissario ha pubblicato attacchi ai politici di destra nel sito web dell'OHCHR.

Il 12 settembre 2016, Zeid ha espresso preoccupazione per la Campagna presidenziale di Donald Trump negli Stati Uniti, che ha definito un "bigotto", dicendo che: "Se Donald Trump viene eletto sulla base di ciò che ha già detto... Senza dubbio penso che sarebbe pericoloso da un punto di vista internazionale ". Zeid ha dichiarato di "non essere interessato o intenzionato a interferire in nessuna campagna politica all'interno di un determinato paese", aggiungendo l'avvertenza che un'elezione potrebbe comportare un aumento dell'uso della tortura (in particolare il Waterboarding) "o l'attenzione alle comunità vulnerabili che potrebbero essere private dei loro diritti umani, quindi penso che sia doveroso dirlo." Questi attacchi alla candidatura di Trump hanno suscitato lamentele da parte del governo russo presso le Nazioni Unite, con Vitaly Churkin (ambasciatore della Russia presso le Nazioni Unite) che ha dichiarato: "Il Principe Zeid sta superando il limite e non ne siamo contenti. Ha criticato un certo numero di capi di stato, di governo. Dovrebbe attenersi al suo lavoro, che è abbastanza importante."

Zeid è stato condannato dal Presidente delle Filippine Rodrigo Duterte nel dicembre 2016 per aver suggerito un'indagine sui suoi conti, sugli omicidi extragiudiziali quando era ancora sindaco di Davao e sulle morti "scioccanti" legate alla guerra di droga filippina. Il portavoce di Duterte, Harry Roque ha risposto dicendo: "Forse, le parole dell'Alto Commissario delle Nazioni Unite sono dovute al fatto che non hanno democrazia nel suo stato di origine in Giordania. Il leader della Giordania non è eletto a differenza del nostro presidente.

Quando finì il suo servizio come Alto Commissario, un giornalista riferì che poiché Zeid era notoriamente schietto e non risparmiò nessuno, i suoi discorsi e le sue dichiarazioni erano attesi con impazienza dal corpo di stampa di Ginevra. Ciò ha attratto gli attivisti per i diritti umani in tutto il mondo.

Discendenza
Il principe Zaid e Sarah Butler hanno un figlio:
 Principe Ra'ad bin Zeid (n. 2001).

POINTE SHOES SLIPPING OFF HEEL – HOW TO SOLVE VIDEO!
A very common problem is pointe shoes slipping off the heel of dancers.
Luckily enough it is actually a very easy problem to solve!
I have made a video below showing you what to do to keep your pointe shoes slipping off the heel of your foot and how to make them more secure.
Showing pointe shoe heels and where the placement for the elastic should be on a pointe shoe to be best effective.
Quite simply, all you need to be doing is actually sewing pointe shoe elastics onto your shoes.
I recommend Bloch Covert Elastic or Tendu Invisible Elastic.
The key is to use a good quality thick thread. Ideally waxed thread or even dental floss!
I use the Bunheads Stitch Kit which comes with fantastic heavy duty waxed thread.
Ensure you do a row of stitches. I like to criss cross my stitches and do at least 2 rows.
I also double my thread whilst sewing.
