The finest Nike soccer cleats on the market are the perfect combination of comfortable, functional, and stylish.
Much like any other major sport, the game of soccer is always advancing and setting new standards for the future. As new stars raise to amazing heights and test the boundaries of their equipment, players and manufactures look for solutions to problems both old and new. Unsurprisingly, the item receiving the majority of research and development is, perhaps, soccer shoes. Being such a specialized type of footwear, designers are always looking to make adjustments and improvements to provide shoes that are comfortable, supportive, and allow the player to maintain effective ball control while still following the latest styles. As the elites of this beautiful game find and solve the issues that plague them, this innovation is, in turn, filtered down to the public to help the young stars of tomorrow and enthusiasts alike improve their game and fitness. There are few major sportswear firms in the world that are as massive as Nike, who are known for making products for nearly every sport around. As such a driving force in the sports footwear industry, it comes as little surprise that Nike offers some of the best cleat designs available. Below are the 10 best Nike soccer cleats for 2018.
Part of Nike's extensive Mercurial collection, the Vapor XIs provide increased speed and better grip of both the ground and the ball. The design is lightweight and comfortable, with a nice, glove-like fit. As observed by many consumers, the studs are well spaced and balanced for a substantial boost in speed as well. The shoe is built to offer the player a lighter touch in order to more easily control the ball. This lighter feel is provided by what are referred to as speed ridges; rows of a sort of piping or ribbing that run the length of the top of the boot. The tongue is comprised of a compression-type fabric with a certain elasticity, which assures a snug fit that will be endure due to the rebound of the material.
From the Phantom series at Nike, this cleat is engineered for optimal comfort, fit, and flexibility, as well as exceptional ground grip on a real grass pitch. With its high top structure, this boot varies greatly from the previous entry, which featured a low top. With the ankle support comprised of a flexible compression fabric, this boot is intended to provide a well-fitting, yet flexible feel, without compromising on function and utility. With a so-called "ghost lacing system," the shoe is equipped with a sleek appearance, too. With a grip that some customers term as "aggressive," this boot provides excellent traction not only on a natural pitch, but very good grip on the soccer ball as well.
This low top design, the latest entry in the Nike Magista series, offers a lightweight, flexible fit that features better control and comfort than its predecessors. Made of an innovative synthetic material, these soccer shoes are quite easily cleaned when compared with boots made from natural fabrics, also allowing for a greater tweaking of the shoes' exterior features in the design phase. The "Kanga-Lite" material used in the upper portion of the cleat allow for greater flexibility, superior range, ease of motion, and an impressively lightweight feeling. This material is also intended for fast and easy break-in, an important feature in any piece of professional-grade sportswear. The 3D patterning on the shoe allows for effective ball control while not taking too much away from the general sleekness of the design.
Another entry from the Nike Mercurial collection, the Veloce III combines many of the features of the Vapor XI with a high top construction for additional ankle support. Like the Vapor XI, the Veloce III features the effective ball feel offered by the 3D speed ridges that run across the upper of the shoe in a vertical, ribcage like fashion. With these rows of ridges, the Veloce III is especially well suited for passing and shooting, allowing for more power, efficiency, and force with a lighter attack. With it's compression fabric and higher top, this boot is meant to fit with a certain snugness and exceptional comfort (one of the most comfortable soccer cleats of 2018, to be exact), combining top of the line features from several higher end cleat series, at a more accessible price point.
While the previous entries listed are largely focused on futuristic and state of the art design and innovation, the Premier II is intended to be a revised classic that nods to historically iconic Nike designs and recognizes their contribution to the field of soccer cleats over the years. Like other more traditional designs, the Premier II is crafted from flexible kangaroo leather rather than the latest space-age materials. This boot is intended for the player who wants a soft and comfortably fitting shoe for a relatively accessible price, while keeping to a classic design. The Premier II is for ballers who are not so heavily fixated on the minutia of modern cleat innovation and just want a reliable boot that won't let them down.
Yet another stellar entry from the Nike Mercurial series, the Superfly V offers many of the innovations and assets seen on the Vapor XI and the Veloce III of the same collection, with some additional features of its own that are both aesthetic and practical in nature. Like many Nike sportswear offerings, the Superfly V is featured in bright and striking color schemes that will draw the eye to them. In addition to the aforementioned ball-touch-improving speed ridges and lightweight construction that you have come to know to as standard in the Mercurial series, the Superfly V features a sock-like ankle collar for comfort and flywire cables. The flywire cables create a superior fit and snugness, which retains its structure with minimal loss to physical integrity.
Building on the features of the previously listed and simpler Obra II Elite low top boot, the dynamic fit version offers additional ankle support and comfort for players with wider feet. While this is certainly not the best looking entry to this list of top Nike soccer cleats, it provides a great deal of practical assets that make up for its rough and utilitarian appearance. With an easy and quick break in period and flexible comfort, the upper of this boot is constructed from the proprietary FlyKnit material, which allows for a soft comfortable fit that is almost cushion-like. With its superb ball touch, this speaker is especially well-suited for passing. Additionally, the shoe is exceptionally adept at quick changes of direction and pace.
A great value for its price point and features relative to that affordability, the Tiempo Legend VII builds on the success of the line while making critical improvements that bring it to a new level. Part of an iconic Nike cleats line, this affordably priced shoe allows the average person to experience some of the greatest assets and selling points of this series. Some users observed that, in spite of the budget-minded nature of the Legend VII, it has a very comparable fit to the higher end boots from the Tiempo line. In addition to the surprisingly soft and comfortable calf leather upper (with the ever-popular speed ridges), the laces feature cables for better lockdown, and the overall build quality of the shoe is impeccable.
Once again putting function much higher than aesthetics, the Hypervenom Phantom III Elite sits in the higher price points of the cleat world, though this expense will afford you a great suite of high performance features. Whether or not you are into the Hypervenom's brash and rugged style, this cleat is engineered to offer professional level durability and dynamism for the discerning player, sharing a design from one of the best soccer cleats for bad knees. Another design making use of Nike's new FlyKnit synthetic material, this boot is very comfortable and flexible, with great physical resilience. Additionally, the upper is reinforced with foam padding in order to make the sting of striking the ball less apparent. The comfortable and secure fit of the shoe makes it feel almost more like a well-fitting sock, displaying exceptional lockdown, too.
If you are into the high end and cutting edge features of Nike soccer cleats like the Phantom III, but don't quite like the fit or feel, your best bet may well be the dynamic fit version of the same shoe. With the addition of an ankle collar, this cleat offers better support and comfort with their sock-like feel for the ankles than the low top models in the series, making it one of the best soccer cleats for ankle support on the market today. With easy break-in and true to size fitting, this boot is extra comfortable on the pitch and even off (if you feel like scuffing up the floors in your home). Being a dynamic fit model, this shoe is ideal for players with wider feet, offering for greater comfort and snug fit that should be expected with such a high-end item.


"After ninety, there's no need to worry about dying. Not many people die over the age of ninety."
Recently, the FDA has approved hGH therapy for adults who are deficient, which includes nearly everyone over the age of 40. This is an important step in recognizing aging as a disease and opening the doors to the acceptance of a variety of anti-aging therapies. The approval of Humatrope, manufactured by Eli Lilly, is based on clinical data that demonstrate its effectiveness in increasing lean muscle mass, decreasing body fat, increasing exercise capacity, and raising HDL cholesterol ("good cholesterol") levels. Several major pharmaceutical companies have research teams who are racing to release the first FDA approved growth hormone secretagogue. There are already natural hGH secretagogues available over the counter, which are being continually refined and formulated to exceed the efficacy of growth hormone itself.
Why is there so much focus on growth hormone, and what does all of this mean for those of us who suddenly have these substances available? To put it simply, there is no other substance known to man that has such far reaching ability to prevent and reverse the aging process.
It may seem too good to be true that a single substance could have so many far-reaching effects, but as we look more closely at the scientific evidence from human studies and at the physiologic interaction between growth hormone and the body's various systems that affect these areas, everything begins to fall into place. By the time Dr. Rudman began his work in 1985, the safety of growth hormone had already been well established through its use in children with GH deficiency. Decades earlier, growth hormone from pituitary extract had been shown to decrease body fat significantly in laboratory rats. Dr. Rudman hypothesized that the changes in body composition which become apparent around age 35 had to do with declining hormone levels, and he began by testing hGH to examine its effects on lean body mass and body fat. Dr. Rudman studied 12 men between the ages of 61 and 80 who experienced significant changes in body composition with age, but who were otherwise healthy. These men were overweight and had significantly low levels of growth hormone. They were instructed not to alter their lifestyle in any way throughout the course of this six-month study. Despite the fact that they did not alter their diet, exercise, or smoking habits-the men who were given hGH gained an average of 8.8% in lean muscle mass while losing 14% of their body fat. They experienced localized increase in bone density and their skin became thicker and firmer. According to Rudman and his associates, the subjects of this study reversed these parameters of aging by 10-20 years. This represented the biggest breakthrough in anti-aging medicine at the time and led to a wide acceptance that, in the words of Dr. Rudman, "The overall deterioration of the body that comes with growing old is not inevitable."
In his study, Dr. Rudman used dosages of hGH that produced blood levels that exceeded those that the body would normally maintain. He and his researchers concluded that because these extremely high doses caused some side effects, including edema and carpal tunnel syndrome, "the optimum hormone dose is only one quarter to one half as great as was previously believed."
Subsequent studies have confirmed the conclusions of Dr. Rudman's study to show that lower doses of growth hormone used to replace diminished levels within a physiologic boundary, produce the same degree of benefit without any side effects. Studies done in Europe and in the United States demonstrate that hGH therapy, when used properly, improves cardiac output and stamina while restoring many of the other functions to potentially extend length and quality of life.
In 1989, Dr. Franco Salomon and his associates in London, England demonstrated that growth hormone given to deficient adults over a course of 6 months resulted in an increase in lean body mass of over 10% and a 7% reduction of body fat. These subjects experienced an increase in basal metabolic rate as well as improved strength and exercise performance, which had previously been below normal.
In Italy, Dr. Serafino Fazio recently evaluated the effects of growth hormone with moderate to severe heart failure.
The researchers found that hGH, when combined with standard heart failure treatment, resulted in increased efficiency of the heart's energy consumption and ability to pump a higher volume of blood while increasing circulation by reducing peripheral vascular resistance. This research opens the door for growth hormone to not only enhance cardiovascular output in healthy people, but to be used as an adjunctive treatment for patients with heart disease.
Adults who are growth hormone deficient are known to have low bone density. Growth hormone has a significant effect on the formation of new bone tissue and, as we will see in the work that Dr. Chein has done, seems to have a significant effect on restoring lost bone tissue. Standard medical protocols offer the option of slowing bone loss, but they do not cause new bone to be formed. GH and IGF-1 both stimulate osteoblast activity, which increases the formation of new bone. With standard therapy as it exists, most medical doctors would not expect to see any measurable increase in bone density in one year, yet increases of 3% to 5% per year are standard for many patients receiving growth hormone therapy.
Growth Hormone is known to increase the uptake of amino acids by muscle cells, making it an excellent candidate for patients with wasting diseases like AIDS. People who experience high levels of physiologic stress such as surgery or severe burns often have difficulty in recovery from injury and develop symptoms of wasting. The use of growth hormone in these circumstances has been successful and continued study is underway. One of the underlying problems in recovering from muscle wasting is the inability to properly absorb nutrients; growth hormone not only assists in muscle formation, but in the absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract.
Studies by Doug Wilmore, M.D. and associates at Harvard's Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston demonstrate the effectiveness of hGH injections combined with the amino acid L-Glutamine in regenerating the digestive tracts of patients with short bowel syndrome. Before therapy, the digestive tracts of these patients were incapable of digesting food; hence, patients had to be fed intravenously. After therapy, the same patients were able to eat solid food and absorb nutrients effectively. This work holds great promise for the number of people with colitis and Crohn's disease whose diseases typically continue to worsen with standard medical protocols. It also suggests yet another way that growth hormone therapy works to reverse the aging process. All of us experience a decline in nutrient absorption as we age due to the thinning of the lining of the digestive tract. In fact, the permeability of the digestive tract lining has been directly correlated with the onset of a variety of illnesses. When the digestive tract lining becomes very thin a patient may be told that she has Leaky Gut Syndrome-a condition that may lead to a variety of autoimmune diseases, rheumatism, allergies, and arthritis.
The largest study of the effects of growth hormone on humans has taken place at the Palm Springs Life Extension Institute under the direction of Dr. Edmund Chein, director of the institute, and his associate Dr. Leon Terry, a neuro-endocrinologist from the Department of Neurology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Dr. Chein follows a growth hormone protocol that involves restoring GH levels is for patients who are deficient (IGF-1 less than 350 in ng/ml) with low dose, high frequency injections. Dr. Chein, by combining hGH with other hormones that are shown to be low, has developed a program that he claims has been 100% effective for all his patients. He guarantees that his patients will experience an increase in bone density of 1.5 - 2.5% every 6 months, as well as a loss of 10% body fat and an increase of 10% muscle mass. These processes may continue until the patient attains the body composition of a twenty-year-old.
Recently, Dr. Terry collected the data of patients who have been treated at the Life Extension Institute and has written up the amazing results. The following assessment figures were derived from 308 randomly selected self-assessment questionnaires that were completed by 202 patients during the term of their therapy between the years of 1994 and 1996.
In general, these improvements were reported to occur within I to 3 months of the on -set of therapy with a tendency to continue improving over 6 months of treatment. Chein and Terry are currently studying the effects of hGH replacement therapy on triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol, PSA, blood pressure, and cardiovascular fitness.
It is important to note that Drs. Chein and Terry believe in a total approach to deterring the aging process by replacing a variety of hormones that are deficient, using aerobic and resistance training, dietary evaluation, and stress reduction.
We believe in the importance of this well-rounded approach as well. From clinical experience, when a wider range of hormones are replaced to overcome deficiency, greater results may be obtained with lower doses. As we detail in future chapters, using the proper diet and exercise techniques to stabilize insulin and enhance growth hormone release are essential to attaining optimal results.
Chein and Terry have demonstrated a 61% increase in IGF-1 levels after I to 2 months of hGH therapy with low dose high frequency (LD-HF) injections without the major side effects found in studies that involve much higher dose lower frequency injection of hGH. However, some patients experienced minor joint pain and fluid retention, which disappeared after the initial two months of therapy. While the LD-HF protocol appears to more closely mimic the patterns of the body's own growth hormone release when compared with the high dose low frequency dosing used by Rudman; it does not precisely duplicate our natural release patterns. This may account for the minor side effects found in Chein's patients.
Can the Side Effects be Overcome?
Upon recognizing the importance of restoring growth hormone to physiologic levels in order to maximize the effectiveness and reduce side effects, it is important to examine the effects of natural secretagogues. Natural secretagogues may be our best hope for raising growth hormone in an entirely physiologic manner because of the ability to stimulate the endocrine system to release its own growth hormone, Reference to the stimulation of the endocrine system rather than the pituitary alone, reflects the complex interactions among the liver, pancreas, adrenals, thyroid, hypothalamus, and pituitary that effect the release and response to growth hormone.
"Once we've identified the fight materials to use, the most challenging obstacles in attaining consistent and significant growth hormone release are 1) absorption and 2) delivery to the proper receptor sites. Our team has researched and developed an array of Chaperone Molecule delivery systems that address gastric absorption, transport through the bloodstream, and attachment to appropriate receptors. What's exciting is that we're using all natural substances."
I've noticed my hair is turning darker.
my stamina has improved, my memory is much better and I feel as if I were a 45 year old again."

GREAT SEA BATTLES, HEROIC DISCOVERIES, TITANIC STORMS, AND A VAST OCEAN OF A MILLION STORIES
by Simon Winchester ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 2, 2010
The prolific journalist and historian returns with a story both geographically immense and profoundly personal.
Winchester (The Man Who Loved China: The Fantastic Story of the Eccentric Scientist Who Unlocked the Mysteries of the Middle Kingdom, 2008, etc.) offers a tale about the Atlantic Ocean that is variably genial, cautionary, lyrical, admonitory, terrifying, horrifying and inspiring. He begins with a memory from 1963—his youthful transatlantic crossing aboard the passenger liner Empress of Britain—and returns to the birth of the Atlantic, perhaps 540 million years ago, providing a John McPhee–like history of its formation and development. Winchester then looks at humans' "infant" acquaintance with the ocean, noting that people first settled its shores about 164,000 years ago on the western coast of Africa. They soon ventured out on the ocean, then endeavored to cross it—the Irish could have done it, he says, but there's no hard evidence. The author chronicles the stories of Leif Eriksson, John Cabot and Amerigo Vespucci, and notes that the "schoolboy" phase of the Atlantic's life includes our attempts to understand it—to chart it, measure it, discover its mineral, vegetable and animal bounties and puzzle over its mysteries. For the "lover" phase of the Atlantic's history, Winchester sails across centuries of literature, art and music that in some sense celebrate the ocean. The "soldier" phase involves warfare on and around the Atlantic, from the Vikings to the Falklands. The "justice" section examines maritime laws of various sorts, from fishing to trade to communication. The concluding chapters deal with the depletion and pollution of the ocean, and the author projects a tone of both dire warning and feathered hope. Throughout, Winchester sprinkles passages of personal history, none more powerful than the epilogue about Namibia's Skeleton Coast, "a place so named because of all the skeletons, of both men and the vessels in which they had wrecked."

by Elie Wiesel & translated by Marion Wiesel ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 16, 2006
Elie Wiesel spent his early years in a small Transylvanian town as one of four children.
He was the only one of the family to survive what Francois Maurois, in his introduction, calls the "human holocaust" of the persecution of the Jews, which began with the restrictions, the singularization of the yellow star, the enclosure within the ghetto, and went on to the mass deportations to the ovens of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions.
The author's youthfulness helps to assure the inevitable comparison with the Anne Frank diary although over and above the sphere of suffering shared, and in this case extended to the death march itself, there is no spiritual or emotional legacy here to offset any reader reluctance.

A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
by Howard Zinn ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 1, 1979
For Howard Zinn, long-time civil rights and anti-war activist, history and ideology have a lot in common. Since he thinks that everything is in someone's interest, the historian—Zinn posits—has to figure out whose interests he or she is defining/defending/reconstructing (hence one of his previous books, The Politics of History). Zinn has no doubts about where he stands in this "people's history": "it is a history disrespectful of governments and respectful of people's movements of resistance." So what we get here, instead of the usual survey of wars, presidents, and institutions, is a survey of the usual rebellions, strikes, and protest movements. Zinn starts out by depicting the arrival of Columbus in North America from the standpoint of the Indians (which amounts to their standpoint as constructed from the observations of the Europeans); and, after easily establishing the cultural disharmony that ensued, he goes on to the importation of slaves into the colonies. Add the laborers and indentured servants that followed, plus women and later immigrants, and you have Zinn's amorphous constituency. To hear Zinn tell it, all anyone did in America at any time was to oppress or be oppressed; and so he obscures as much as his hated mainstream historical foes do—only in Zinn's case there is that absurd presumption that virtually everything that came to pass was the work of ruling-class planning: this amounts to one great indictment for conspiracy. Despite surface similarities, this is not a social history, since we get no sense of the fabric of life. Instead of negating the one-sided histories he detests, Zinn has merely reversed the image; the distortion remains.

"I was born in 1966 in Oxfordshire but spent my early childhood in Belgium. My dad was working for Crawford's Biscuits, the company started by my Scottish ancestors in Edinburgh in 1813. I was the youngest of four children and we all started our education at an International school just outside Brussells. Because of this, and our numerous French cousins, we were all quite fluent French speakers from an early age.
We returned to Oxford in 1972 where I spent a happy, busy childhood. My mum was an artist and teacher and my dad was now a lecturer of Business Studies so family life was an amiable mix of sociable creativity. Dad was also politically active, running as a Liberal parliamentary candidate. Once he had us all out campaigning, standing in the back of an open truck, wearing orange 'Vote Stoddart!' T-shirts, and handing down leaflets to bemused passers-by.
As a child I used to keep a notebook by my bed. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and write things down. I was lucky to have Philip Pullman as a teacher at school. He'd write these fantastic shows for us. I remember being Princess Meliara, in a pair of billowy trousers, for one production. I was also very involved with the local Junior Dramatic Society and I loved ballet.
Oxford was a great place to grow up. There was always something happening. There was a steady stream of British and foreign academics passing through and the large Cowley car plant made for a significant industrial presence, so many different kinds of families mingled at school. Once, as an unruly teenager, I gatecrashed a May Ball and, when I got caught, protested my innocence by claiming my right to be there as Oxford was my home, not merely my university!
I was always an avid reader but it was at Secondary school that I came across poets like Hardy and Auden, as well as French writers like Albert Camus. I remember reading Auden's 'Musee des Beaux Arts' and being struck by how you could express a thought like that, in 21 lines.
When I was 18 my boyfriend and I went to live in Paris after our 'A'- levels, he to study piano and I to go part-time to a theatre school I'd heard about. I reminded my mum recently of her admirable lenience. She told me there was no point in forbidding it; she knew I'd have gone anyway. We lived in a 'studio'—kitchen, sitting room, bathroom and bedroom all in one—on the top floor of a building in the 2nd arrondissement, a hive of prostitution and drug addiction. I'd peer out of our window, down at the needle-littered courtyard, listening to the cooing of the pigeons on the sills.
By giving rudimentary English conversation classes to business men we just about made enough to live on. Sometimes all we had for dinner was 'un pudding' from the patisserie which was all the crumbs of the day swept up and rolled into a ball with a sugary paste.
The school I went to was the Ecole Jacques Lecoq, an internationally renowned drama centre whose focus was physical expression. People came from all over the world. Looking back, it's interesting to note that the school's maxim was to study 'le silence d'où s'élève les mots'—'the silence out of which come words'.
That year was formative in so many ways but I came back to England as I had a place at Manchester University to study drama. This was 1985, the tail-end of a time when being a student implied having a political conscience, so I found myself on protest marches to 'Reclaim the Night' and 'Free Nelson Mandela!' but I was more interested in the playwrights I was discovering; Chekhov, Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller. I enjoyed Manchester, but I was set on returning to the Lecoq School as I was now old enough to attend the full-time, 2-year course.
At the school I met two women with whom I formed the theatre company Brouhaha. We devised and performed our own shows, drawing inspiration from the films of Buster Keaton and Chaplin, and the bleak comedies of Beckett. We spent the next five years touring Europe and the UK. Once, on tour in Mexico, I remember bussing out to see the Pyramids and being rickshawed around Mexico City in between performances!
At that time I had a boyfriend who was a news cameraman working on the front line in the Bosnian war of the early 1990s, and then a serious illness occurred in the family, and before I knew it I found myself writing. I became again that child who kept a notebook by her bed; one who listened – but in a different way—to 'the silence out of which come words'.
I became absorbed in writing. I remember one day in Belfast, before a show, walking around the city with these words going round in my head. When I got back to the theatre I'd composed a whole, imperfect, poem. Performing that night I felt at one remove, as if the heart had been taken out of the stage and placed on a page. I meant only to take a break from acting but in fact I never went back.
By the mid-1990s I was in London, teaching English. I went to poetry classes led by the brilliant American poet Michael Donaghy, who became a great friend and mentor.
I'd known my partner Stewart a bit from Oxford days but I met him again around this time and we started living together in a flat on the River Thames. My first book of poems At Home in the Dark was published in 2001 and won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize. Our first son, Jesse, was born in 2002 and our second, Frank, followed four years later. And a second book! Salvation Jane, which was shortlisted for the Costa Poetry Book Award.
I'd started to teach poetry at Morley College and Goldsmiths University in London but in 2003 I got a job as Writer-in-Residence at Exeter University. I immediately felt at home here. I'd spent many happy childhood holidays sailing the south coast but it went deeper than that. I'd long known that my (maternal) French ancestors had fled France in 1697 as Protestant religious refugees but when I discovered they'd landed in Topsham, a return 'home' felt all but inevitable!
Although Stewart was originally from a farming family in rural Oxfordshire he was now running his own art-moving company in London and as soon as he sorted a feasible commute plan we started house-hunting in East Devon. After a year spent looking we went to see a farmhouse on the Hills Farm estate in Kilmington, and knew immediately it was the one for us.
The boys are both very happy at local schools. Stewart now works mainly from home. We've converted the milking shed into a holiday cottage. I teach for the Poetry School in Exeter and Bridport, as well as run writing courses from my home and cottage. A few years ago I worked with the Dorset-based theatre company AngelExit on a script for their stage production of Moonfleet. This was the first time my theatre and writing experience came together and I loved it. I now do some freelance writing and am working on my third book of poems. Walking has always been a way for me to think through my poems and I feel so lucky that I can now do that in such a beautiful part of the country.


Home Products & Tools Hauls Dollar Store Haul – Part 2!
It's part 2 of our dollar store!
I scavenged the aisles for the best in cleaning and organizing products. I'm going to show you some cool uses for dollar store finds (and I've got way more to come!).
Welcome to another Dollar Store Organizing & Cleaning Products Haul Video! Whether you shop at Dollar Tree, Dollar General or Dollarama – we've got some cheap and handy products to show you!
Please tell me where you got your shirt! That is really cute! My daughter would love it!!!
Love Clean My Space and your videos. How about Princess Auto for your next "Haul" video? They have lots of gadgets and widgets. Lots to choose from!
I love your advice but a special thanks for tonight. You really made me laugh!
Don't know is there are any The Container Stores in Canada or not, but there are several in the States. They have awesome organizing products of all kinds. Now, you have featured some of them in your videos and any dollar store is much cheaper compared to TCS, but check them out online, if you're not already familiar with them. Of course, I check Amazon for these items too. The quality of TCS products are usually very good. Sometimes, Costco has a few products I've array purchased from the TCS, so it can be worth waiting on or checking online too. We've bought about 100 plastic boxes with folding kids from Costco, as keep seasonal decor, older clothing or whatever in them. If there in the garage, the occasional vermin can't chew there way in, like they will do with a cardboard box.We've gone 100 percent plastic in the garage and it hasworked great!
We also love TCS's Elfa shelf systems. Check 'em out.

Title: Ideology of Terrorist Foreign Policies in Libya and South Africa
Journal: Conflict Volume:7 Issue:4 Dated:(1987) Pages:379-402
Author(s): S Metz
Annotation: Libya and South Africa, two otherwise disparate nations, have incorporated terrorism into their foreign policies and have developed similar ideologies to justify it.
Abstract: The South African regime has assassinated leaders of the African National Congress, the major opposition group; has conducted commando raids into neighboring states; and has provided logistical and financial support, training, transportation, and bases for guerrilla groups which rely heavily on terrorism. Libya has provided support for terrorist groups from the Philippines to Northern Ireland; supplied arms, funds, and training for the 1972 Olympic massacre; and granted sanctuary to various air hijackers. The central ideological concept in South African foreign policy is the notion of a multidimensional attack coordinated by Moscow which seeks the destruction of the Pretoria regime and its replacement with a compliant black government. The unique theology of the Calvinist Dutch Reformed Church has fueled this perception through a rigid commitment to righteousness, justice, and separation between God's elect and the damned. Qaddafi's (Libya) ideology is dominated by notions of Western injustice and oppression, the righteousness of his struggle against the West, and the acceptance of violence in his mission. This commitment is fed by aspects of Islamic fundamentalism and the Arab political culture. Both the South African and Libyan ideologies for justifying terrorism derive from religious, historical, and cultural factors, combined with a Manichaean world view, a perception of anomie in the current international system, and a rigid sense of justice and punishment. 63 notes.
Main Term(s): Terrorist ideologies
Index Term(s): Libyan Arab Republic; South Africa

Everyone knows the most recent headlines about our country's greatest leaders. In this feature, we'd like to shed some light on the lesser-known facts about these folks in hopes of giving you a little greater insight as to what makes them tick.
William Henry Gates was born on October 28, 1955, in Seattle, Washington, USA.
His father William was a corporate lawyer, and his mother Mary was a schoolteacher.
By the age of 17, Gates had sold his first computer program, a time-tabling system for his high school, for $4,200.
Gates scored 1590 on his SAT standardized test. The top score for the test is 1600.
Gates told his university teachers he would be a millionaire by age 30. He became a billionaire at age 31.
While at Harvard, Gates co-wrote Altair BASIC, which became Microsoft's (then called Micro-Soft) first product.
He met his wife, Melinda French, in 1987 at a Microsoft press event in Manhattan while she was a worker for the company. They would go on to get married on New Years Day in 1994.
In 2002, Bill Gates was considered more idolized than Chinese Communist leader Mao Tse-tung in a poll of teenagers in Hong Kong and China. The survey was conducted by the City University of Hong Kong.
In 2005, Gates was honored with the title Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II of England.
As of the March 2007 issue of Forbes magazine, Bill Gates has been listed as Number 1 on "Forbes' Richest People" list for 13 years in a row. His current net worth is about $56 billion.
Gates has recently announced that he will be reducing his involvement at Microsoft and will be devoting more time to his charity work.
He is currently having a building named after him at Carnegie Mellon University, called the Gates Building of Computer Science.
Gates is the current owner of the Codex Leicester — a 72-page collection of Leonardo da Vinci's scientific writings. The writings are a mixture of observations on water properties, astronomy, and rocks and fossils. Gates puts the Codex on public display once a year in a different city around the world.
Bill Gates earns $250 every SECOND; that's about $20 million a DAY and $7.8 billion a YEAR!
If he drops a thousand-dollar bill, he needn't even bother to pick it up because in the four seconds it would take him to pick it up, he would've already earned it back.
i hear Bill Gates is very shy and non-social kinda person. Seems like all work and no play made Bill a billionaire.
Its a dream i'll never reach.
i think that this is a really in tresting pience of facts and it is good for my research on leaders and by the sounds of it you was a very good leader in all of the things you did.
Looks like I made a mistake 😛 I should've said, "Thanks, Harry K. Jones" instead of what I origionally put ("whoever made this").
'Thanks harry k jones' to share about bill gate my favorite personality.
every person is wonder how it is possible in little short time he became billionaire.
Let's create a speculative monetary unit of constantly increasing billions & call it: a billgates.
I wonder if bill gates might have recieved more credit than he deserves for the creation of microsoft im sure there was people that help him they should be credited too just liike the blockers on A football team with out them the ball carrier cnt go any were.
I'm certain you're absolutely right about Bill Gates having received a great deal of support along the way. However, unlike blockers on a football team, Bill Gates chose those people himself based on their education, experience, track record, and shared beliefs and values. He also rewarded them very well with Microsoft stock which resulted in the majority of them being retired millionaires today. If you've followed news reports on this man and the phenomenal growth of Microsoft, I'm certain you're aware of the fact that he has recognized and credited these people time and time again over the years. He has also shared his success and wealth by creating the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation which has provided BILLIONS of dollars in medicine and medical care, research, housing, food, water, transportation, education, technology, and agriculture development to MILLIONS of people worldwide. In fact, he spends the majority of his time at the helm of this Foundation after choosing Steve Ballmer to lead Microsoft. In short, he's been a pretty good ball carrier.


Jesus spent much of his time in fellowship - sharing meals with the people he met.
As followers of Jesus, we too are meant to spend time together - social time. Sharing, laughing, caring for each other. While our principle time together is worship, even this is simply a formalized meal and fellowship time.
Check out the photos offered here of our times together.


Today marks the 4 year anniversary of the day I read this.
That's right, for 4 years i dreamed of the day I might see the "cholas" wrestling. I hoped to see the power of revolution in performance. I anticipated moralization of gender and race. I expected the power of the pollera would be manifest in the ring.
On sunday, I took a little tourist bus to la Ceja en El Alto, paid my 80 Bs., shivered, and watched. My previous hopes were not quite realized. Now, don't get me wrong, i am not entirely disappointed. But what I found was more tourist spectacle than local phenomenon (and I wonder if half the local phenomenon is coming to see the crazy gring@s watch the event). And most of women's empowerment seemed to come from demasculinizing men: pulling down their pants, forcing them to wear skirts, etc. Of course, the men retaliated, at times by kissing them (what's that say about sexual violence?).

Singled Out: Siren Songs' Goodnight Sun, Hello Moon
Siren Songs released their self-titled album this week and to celebrate we asked Jenn Grinels to tell us about the song "Goodnight Sun, Hello Moon". Here is the story:
I was recently commissioned to write a musical which tells the true story of a 19-year-old woman named Sarah Rosetta Wakeman who posed as a man and fought and died during the Civil War. During this time, she wrote letters home to her parents about the experience. The musical is based on these letters and her search for identity. For the musical, I aimed to write songs that could exist outside of a musical theatre context, with elements of folk and Americana. I also wanted them to sound like they could have been written today or possibly a hundred years ago. "Goodnight Sun, Hello Moon," which is from the musical, is a lullaby. The lyric is about a little bird that flies South for the winter and returns home in the spring. In terms of the songwriting process, this is one of those songs that I struggled with for a month, just beating my head against a wall. I had some melodies kind of going through my head and some lyric ideas, and then... after 30 days of "eh," I just woke up one morning and I was like, Oh my god! Birds! Migration! Metaphor! And then it all came at once. It was one of those songs that came like a gift from the universe. As if I didn't even write it, it just came through me. I LOVE when that happens. Merideth and I decided to feature it on the album because it is very in-line with the sound and style of Siren Songs. It's not supposed to be a typical musical theatre-sounding song that's going to push the plot forward or talk about the characters more. It's really supposed to be this stand-alone lullaby. Very much like "Edelweiss" from the Sound of Music, where people thought that was an actual Austrian folk song as opposed to a song that Rodgers & Hammerstein wrote. We kept the recording and the production very simple. We didn't add any production. It's just two voices and a guitar.
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen and watch for yourself below and learn more about the album here

Ever wondered what makes cannabis the one – that is, the one that can make every sickness in this world go away and never to come back? Ever wondered what makes the cannabis the one also – that is, the one that can make every weakness in this world go away and never to come back? Ever wondered what makes cannabis the one – that is, the one that can make every contrariness in this world go away and never to come back?
You haven't wondered, have you?
I know. And I understand.
Because admit it or not, the stigma surrounding the use of cannabis has been nothing but a danger to one's health even if the plant itself is a great source of antibiotic properties like medicine. Because admit it or not, the stigma surrounding the use of cannabis has also been nothing but a threat to one's strength even if the plant itself is a great source of antioxidant properties like tea. Because admit it or not, the stigma surrounding the use of cannabis has even been nothing but a risk to one's willingness even if the plant itself is a great source of anti-inflammatory properties like coffee.
But believe it or not, the stigma surrounding the use of cannabis has been anything but a danger to one's health especially as the plant itself is a great source of antibiotic properties like medicine. But believe it or not, the stigma surrounding the use of cannabis has been anything but a threat to one's strength especially as the plant itself is a great source of antioxidant properties like tea. But believe it or not, the stigma surrounding the use of cannabis has been anything but a risk to one's willingness especially as the plant itself is a great source of anti-inflammatory properties like coffee.
Thus, no one should have to feel endangered when they decide to grow their own cannabis garden at home. Thus, no one should also have to feel afraid when they decide to grow their own cannabis garden at home. Thus, no one should even have to feel pained when they decide to grow their own cannabis garden at home. So long as you're using it with the best LED grow lights out there, everything is fine. So along as you're using it with the right amount of dosage, everything is fine. So long as you're using it with the best plant grow tools out there, everything is fine.

NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY MARCH 2, 2017. The FCC announced yesterday its decision to put on hold the implementation of a set of privacy rules for broadband providers, which would have come into effect today. It is very clear from the FCC Press Release and the statement from the FCC spokesman that the FCC has no intention of enforcing these privacy rules at all; the notion of these privacy rules being "stayed" is more of an understatement.
The Privacy rules, which were passed when the FCC had a Democratic majority would have required broadband providers (like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast) to obtain informed consent from their customers in order to share sensitive personal information, including web-browsing history, geolocation, and financial details, with third parties. To share the sensitive private information of their customers, the broadband providers would have needed a specific authorization from each customer (an "opt-in") while non-sensitive customer PI would have required giving the customers an option to opt-out.
This first rational regarding uniformity is not very strong because one broad rule applying indiscriminately to all actors would probably do more harm than good.
This second rational is stronger. It is accurate that the FTC, not the FCC, usually controls the field of privacy as it relates to the Internet. However, it is well within the FCC's authority to regulate telecommunication companies.
This move is meeting stiff opposition from privacy advocates including Senators Edward Markey, Richard Blumenthal, Elizabeth Warren and Al Franken who wrote to Ajit Pay, the newly-appointed Chairman of the FCC.

Disney's the Newsies Musical – Bloggers' Impressions
When the official cast list for Disney's Newsies the Musical came out, those of us that were fans of the original 1992 movie scoured the cast list for familiar names… and were we pleasantly surprised to find that four of our favorite dancers from various seasons of SYTYCD were part of the cast! Huge favorites like Evan Kasprzak and Alex Wong, as well as those that left too soon like Thayne Jasperson and Jess LeProtto were all listed!
So naturally we here at Pure So You Think You Can Dance went into a group email firestorm and tried to see if we could have a group outing / get together and meet up at the Great White Way to watch the Newsies together… And if by some twist of faith talk to some of the dancers.
In the end only Margaret and myself (Marianya) were able to make the semi-impromptu trip and we have so much to tell you about this gem of a show.
Marianya: OMG The choreography was AMAZING! Not only that but it really seemed to have challenged the dancers to their fullest potentials. The SYTYCD alumni all have special moments throughout the show, be it as a dancer, actor, or singer. The choreography wasn't just on the stage itself, but all over the staging, elevated… it was thorough and I couldn't help but tap along with the music. I would go again just to see the dancing. For more of my thoughts of Disney's the Newsies musical please head on over to my personal blog.
Margaret: The show was choreographed within an inch of its life, and that's a good thing! A lot of the dancers have said in interviews that Newsies was the first movie they saw for their generation that had guys dancing and singing but still being "dudes". A lot of them said it helped them see that it was okay to be a guy and like to dance. Everything about the show is full out (it is Disney, after all) and the choreography, with a mix of contemporary but also time period-centric moves, fits beautifully.
THE DANCERS
Anyone that appreciates strong dancing can tell you that one person that will catch your attention and was not a SYTYCD alumni was Ryan Steele who played Specs (he wore glasses). In fact his center was so incredibly precise that the only SYTYCD alumni that could possibly compare was Danny Tidwell of runner up of SYTYCD Season 3 (he is SYTYCD Season 2 runner up Travis Wall's brother). In fact we went so far to as to say that Ryan Steele would be a combination of Danny Tidwell and SYTYCD Season 7 hopeful Anthony Burrell. In a crazy serendipitous coincidence of SYTYCD connections, Ryan is close friends with Jakob Karr from Season 6! But you're here for the dancers that were part of the So You Think You Can Dance family:
Alex Wong: Of course, anyone that has been keeping up with So You Think You Can Dance would know and love Alex Wong, and how he sustained an injury to his Achilles tendon that forced him out of the competition. After approximately a year of recuperation he was asked to come back as an All Star for SYTYCD Season 8 only for him to turn it down due to an injury to his other Achilles tendon. Well he has come back from both injuries to dance as if he was never injured to begin with (and mind you these were potential career ending injuries). He was as strong as ever and he looked like he was enjoying himself. His ballet training was evident but so was some of the growth from the time he was on the show. This is his Broadway debut & with such strong dancers throughout the ensemble (many with regional & Broadway credits) he could have easily gotten lost in the shuffle. However, he gets some nice shining moments & his talents are put to good use.
Evan Kasprzak: Dancing a style that he was known for during his season on SYTYCD, it's amazing to think this is his Broadway debut as well. He is one of the holdovers from the production at Papermill Playhouse this past fall. To say that he has stretched as a performer is an understatement. He has a small bit part in the show and he has a couple of solos in the ensemble numbers. Plus he looks stronger than ever. He shines as a tapper during the rousing "Kings of New York" and gets a fun mini-duet with fellow alum Jess as well.
Thayne Jasperson: He also has a bit part in the second act of the show and he has improved leaps and bounds since his time on SYTYCD. You can tell that his dancing has strengthened quite a bit and his lines are smoother. According to his bio he was on the first national tour of West Side Story in the intervening time. Thayne wasn't known as a "Broadway" dancer during season 4, but the performance where the judges said he really came alive was a Broadway number, dancing to "Cool" from West Side Story with Comfort. His time to shine is in the 2nd Act and he has some lines as well. He was always remembered as a very graceful dancer, which probably put him at a disadvantage during his season with big personalities like Twitch, Joshua & Mark. But he fits right in on the stage and his dancing has an "umph" and strength to it that wasn't necessarily apparent when he was on the show.
Jess LeProtto: He's been on Broadway a few times prior to his time on SYTYCD, and considering that he was just on the show last season there isn't much to say except how we get a chance to see him in his element now and see his growth since his time on SYTYCD. And did he grow, Jess took a lot of flack during the season for being too much of a ham, and he seems to have reined that in. He and Evan are both "vertically challenged" but they dance as big as their smiles without trying to outdance some of the taller dancers.
After the show, we stood at the stage door in the hopes of getting to meet some of the guys. To our surprise, every one of the cast members came out and signed autographs. They were grateful, courteous to everyone and a pleasure to talk to. Marianya was able to talk to Alex for a bit about hopefully setting up an interview with some of the guys, and Margaret was able to talk to Thayne. They were both so happy to hear that SYTYCD fans were at the show and were definitely interested in sitting down with us, either over the phone or on Skype (gotta love modern technology!) We'll see what we can set up as we head towards the beginning of season 9!

BIG NEWS(ies) scoop!
Happy Monday!! I hope you all had a wonderful President's Day, and to those of you who got the day off 😛 …only kidding!!
As our resident Broadway queen here at PureSYTYCD, I like to stay up on the latest goings-on in the land of the Great White Way. News pops up every so often that gets me excited about the latest shows opening, but one bit of news nearly gave me a heart attack I was so excited, and it involves some dancers very close to all of our hearts.
Disney's Newsies the Musical is opening next month, jam packed with amazing choreography & tons of talent, and I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw 4 of the names in the ensemble: THAYNE JASPERSON, EVAN KASPRZAK, JESS LEPROTTO & ALEX (FREAKIN') WONG!!! That's right, Broadway is being invaded by SYTYCD!!!
Marianya & I were kidding around…how fun would it be to go to NYC & go see the show? The kidding around turned into…well, we COULD go see the show…so we're going! We'll be in NYC April 5-8 & we're going to see Newsies!! I'm in the process of getting in contact with some people at Disney to see about getting an interview with one (or some of the guys) so if there are any questions you want us to ask them, post them here!! We're so excited to see the amazing choreography of Newsies & especially to see how Thayne, Jess, Evan & Alex have grown as dancers since their time on SYTYCD.
Also, you guys should check out SMASH on NBC every Monday at 10pm, it's about the makings of a Broadway show & Spencer Liff, Alex, Ellenore & Thayne have all been featured as dancers! Check it out!

Final So You Think You Can Dance Poll
I really don't think there's much argument that Joshua Allen was a great dancer and was very deserving of the prize of America's Greatest Dancer. However, after the success of my top 4 SYTYCD poll, I thought it would be fun to put a couple polls up to see how readers of this site would vote for their FAVORITE dancer and then for the BEST dancer.
Here's the poll for your FAVORITE So You Think You Can Dance season 4 dancer.

Madonsela died last week after being shot, allegedly by a private security guard, during nationwide demonstrations on campus.
DURBAN - The family of 21-year-old Mlungisi Madonsela has pleaded with the Health Department to investigate whether their loved one was turned away by a private hospital on the day he was shot.
A memorial service was held for the Durban University of Technology (DUT) student on Tuesday which was attended by relatives, students and the institution's management.
The DUT student representative council said that the third-year student was turned away by a nearby private hospital and was forced to receive emergency treatment at a public hospital.
Madonsela's uncle Xolani Ncanana shared how three bullets have been removed from the 21-year-old's body after initial reports indicated that he had been shot at once.
Speaking in IsiZulu, Ncanana called for justice and that the investigation be conducted by the Health Department to determine whether Madonsela was denied the much-needed medical assistance which the family believes could have saved his life.
KZN Economic Freedom Fighters leader Vusi Khoza echoed this sentiment, adding that the red berets plan to visit the hospital after the mourning period is over.

If you were me, you would hate you too
Your silly train problems
After a few months of living in New York, you found a post production coordinator salary position at a major marketing agency. It was an unnecessarily stressful job because the company was recently acquired by another advertising agency and layoffs were on the horizon.
Your boss was an old man who was clearly on a ton of adderall and/or cocaine and/or god knows what his script happy doctor was giving him to maintain his speed. He was always on level 10 go go go mode, red faced, and ready to scream at you because he found a very minor typo in one of your e-mails.
One day he punched a computer screen because you attached a screenshot to an e-mail instead of embedding it. He punched the screen and it fell on the ground, shattering all over his office. They had to completely replace the monitor.
You had a pretty bad commute. You took the G train from Bed Stuy and the 7 Train to Grand Central. You were often about 10-15 minutes late, sometimes more if the 7 train was down due to snow/bad weather.
You always gave the boss a heads up via text or e-mail if the trains were being dysfunctional. One snowy day you were about 10 minutes late. Right when you arrived to work, he ordered you to come into his office and close the door.
"Chelsea. No one cares about your silly train problems." he said.
You wanted to laugh so badly at the cartoonishly mean and classist thing he said. You couldn't and still can't afford cabs , and you don't have a life partner who can drive you to work in his or her BMW. You are a mere plebeian who relies on public transportation, which is often unreliable and inconvenient.
You realized almost 5 years later, staring out your window in your Crown Heights apartment that he was right. No one cared about your silly train problems. This city wasn't for you, it isn't for most people. It's for people who have abundance and for people who are okay with depriving themselves of self acceptance. You had your fun here, but it was time to go back where you belong.
You landed in New York back in 2013 with bleeding gums, an ear ache, and a backpack. You went from the airport straight to a hostel in Queens. You left NYC with a cat you found off the streets and 2 suitcases full of stuff and went straight from Hartsfield to your sister's house in East Atlanta.
You looked at your wrist. You got a peach tattoo right before you move to New York. You know deep down that you got it because you knew you were not finished with the south and it was never going to be finished with you. You were no longer enchanted with New York and its Woody Allen era intellectual magic, its gutter punk piss covered dive bars, and the people with personalities larger than the screens in Time Square.
You called your mom and said you're moving back home. One month later, you were on a plane back to Atlanta. In Atlanta, there are no train problems because the train is so bad most people don't even use it. In Atlanta, everyone is going to be late because of traffic.
In Atlanta, you have a past to contend with and fears to confront. You had so much fun with your silly train problems that seemed so real at the time. They were all folly and distraction from what you were running from.


Happy New Year! This should be a very big year for Backward pieS as we have multiple projects in the works. We are moving away from the flash game portals and stepping into 2013 with mobile gaming, while still developing "Dukes and Dirigibles" for the PC .We have also started working on a children's game for Android using Unity3D. We are looking forward to a prosperous new year and wishing everyone the same.

My nerdy goals for the new year.
2017 Goals: How Did I Do?
As it approaches the end of the year, I look back at the goals I set for 2017, and whether I've managed to achieve these.
In which 'Masks' taught me a new mechanic to add to the game they call "real life".
