Heat Molding Guide
Heat Molding can make the difference between a boot that feels just OK, and one that fits like Cinderella's glass slipper. It will not alter the length of a boot, but will otherwise allow for better performance through a customized fit and feel.
First, make sure that your boots are heat moldable. Look for the brand specific Heat Molding Banner that accompanies the boot in its description. Attempting to heat mold a non-moldable boot will cause damage.
Second, make sure you have the correct size. Watch Fit 101: Size and Fit or contact our customer service team at email@example.com or toll free at 800.366.3070.
Get started by clicking on your boot brand below and follow the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer:
Antik Heat Molding Instructions
Heat molding instructions provided by Antik
Depending on how you want your boots to fit, there are a few options for heat molding the counters and toe box.
Molding TipsAfter molding, the metal components of skate boots may be very HOT! Watch out for buckles, eyelets, and aglets! After heating and lacing up the boot, try not to move around too much. Ideally you want to be in a skating stance so that your foot is as close to the shape that it would be while skating. Moving around in the boot will not allow the boot to cool in a uniform manner. Finally, after initial cooling, allow the boot to stand for several hours (up to a day) before any rigorous skating!
Option 1 (for specific "trouble spots"): Heat Gun or Hair DryerThis option is for individual problem areas (toes, arch, outer foot), and lets you mold one section at a time. Keep the gun/dryer approximately 6-8 inches away from the boot, moving in a small circular pattern so as not to over heat one spot. This should take about 3 minutes with a heat gun and 6-7 with a hair dryer. Once the material is pliable, use your hands to massage & push out the problem spot, and hold until cool (blunt end of screwdriver can be used to push out particularly tight spots). This process can be repeated as many times as needed.
Option 2 (for general fit): Skate Bake or Kitchen OvenThis option allows you to mold all three spots at once. Mold only one boot at a time! First, pre-heat oven to ~175 degrees; do NOT exceed 200 degrees! Remove insole, laces, toe stop, wheels, and bearings (cushions can be left on). Place boot/skate in oven on rack or cookie sheet for 3 minutes. Remove boot (it will be HOT!). Insert insole, place foot in boot and lace up (wearing socks you wear while skating). Stand up in boots, in skating stance, and wait until cool. This proces can be repeated as many times as needed.
Bont Heat Molding Instructions
Heat molding instructions provided by Bont
Bont skates are the most heat moldable skates on the market. Our resin is developed in house and has been perfected over 36 years to be an extremely stiff resin that becomes pliable at relatively low temperatures. You may have tried heat molding other brands of boots and found that you needed to increase the temperature to try to get it to mold. That is not the case with your Bont boots and we urge you to start with low temperatures.
The base of the boot is moldable which means all stiff areas of the boot can be molded in a standard oven. You do not need to mold your boots if they fit you straight out of the box. To mold your boots, remove the plates and the innersoles. Pre heat the oven to 85°C/185°F. Place the boot in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Higher temperatures will void your warranty and may damage your boot. Caution: Do not place your feet in the hot boots or you may burn your feet. Let them cool a little and test the boot temperature with your hand before placing your feet in them. Tighten the straps/laces/buckles and allow to cool. If you have any lumps or bunions on your feet or if there are any areas causing discomfort, while the boot is still warm you can use the round end of a blunt object to press out any part of the boot. You can heat mold the boots as many times as you like. Please watch this quick video below to see how it's done.
Heat Molding FAQ: If the boots take 20 minutes to mold at 85°C, can I put them in the oven for 10 minutes at 170°C? The answer is no. Please stick to the guidelines and your boots will not be damaged.

Crazy Heat Molding Instructions
Heat molding instructions provided by Crazy Skates
Heat molding the DBX is super easy. There are many ways to do this and there are even more adjustments that you can make to achieve a near perfect fit than with any other heat moldable standard boot on the market. Take note of the fact that your left and right boot may require different levels of attention. Our feet are not the same - so each boot can be custom fit to each foot. Firstly you have to identify which parts of the boots you'd like to adjust. Identifying "areas of concern" generally happens once you have worn the boots and done some skating. You will know which areas need attention once you have familiarized yourself with the boots while skating. If you have purchased boots only and intend to do the "break-in" process before you mount, we advise against this. You do not use the boots the same way when you are standing in them. We recommend that you skate in your new boots and identify any "areas of concern" while you are skating. The best way to do this is to mark the boots with chalk or rubber so that you can see the areas that you need to work on when you remove the boots for heat molding. Try not to do this through memory unless it is only one or two areas. With so much of the boot able to be heat molded, you can easily miss an area during the process. It is important to note that you should not heat mold your boots "just for the sake of it". Many people have tried the boots and not heat molded them because they were fine. There will always be a "break-in" process with or without heat molding. Regardless of changing the shape, your feet have to get used to new boots. There will be changes in pressure points and areas of discomfort in the normal course of getting used to your boots. There is no shortcut when getting used to new boots. Heat molding allows you to really form the boots to your feet if it is required.
The first thing you will realize when you use DBX for the first time is the level of support that these boots provide. It is important to note that you cannot heat mold that support away! DBX boots may not suit everyone, but the support is an integral part of the boot design and no amount of heat molding will reduce this feature!
Identifying the right width is the first thing that you must do before you start heat molding. DBX boots have a unique feature that allows you to heat mold the width of the boot. You can physically mold each boot wider or narrower if it is required. Please refer to the video for this technique.
Ways of Heat MoldingThere are many ways to heat mold your boots. We have made and posted online a video that demonstrates how to mold your boots with a hair dryer at home. Please follow these instructions and remember you may do this as many times as is required to get the desired shape. To check out this video go to this address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ9xjO-GANU&feature=plcp. Alternatively, just search Crazy Skates in the search bar. We have a number of instructional videos online so just choose the heat shaping video!
Heat shaping your boots is a very easy process. Before starting this process, please set aside 30-40 minutes depending upon your climate. Where you live determines the amount of time it may take your boots to "cool down" once you have heated them. The "cooling down" process is very important because it allows the heat shaping material (ABS) in the boot to cool and harden to the shape of your foot. Once this material has cooled and formed a new shape, it will stay that way until it is re-shaped under heat.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The ABS material is activated by heat. Please avoid leaving your skates in a hot place. Leaving your skates in a hot car will activate the ABS material. This means that depending upon how your skates are packed in your skate bag, they will re-shape themselves. You will need to start the process once again if this happens.
If you follow the steps on the video using your hair dryer, you can identify "areas of concern" and heat shape those areas to your foot. If you require an "over all" heat shaping experience, you can follow these steps by using a conventional fan-forced oven.
Heat Shaping in Your Oven at HomeIn order for you to heat shape your skates at home in your oven, please confirm that you have a Fan-Forced Convection Oven. Your oven should be fan-forced because it will distribute the heat evenly around the boot. If you place your boot into an oven with an exposed element, it will place heat directly onto the boot and most likely burn and destroy the boot. If you are not sure if you have a fan-forced oven in your home, please consult a professional electrical contractor who will confirm your oven type before heat shaping.
- 1. Once you have skated in your boots, identify the areas that you want to heat shape. Mark those with chalk or some other removable marking device. This will enable you to identify and manipulate this area once the boot is heated through. Do this for booth boots.
- 2. Pre-heat the oven to 80 degrees Celsius or 176 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 3. To prepare your boots for shaping (both boots), remove your toe stops, wheels and trucks. Also remove your pivot cups. There should be nothing but the plates and boots being placed into the oven. Loosen the laces on each boot all the way down to the toe. This is done because you need to be able to easily place your foot inside the boot when it is warm without distorting the ABS material. Loosening the laces will also allow the heat to circulate more easily inside the boot giving a consistent heat transfer.
- 4. Once the oven is pre-heated, place both boots in the oven on the middle shelf. Make sure that the boots do not touch the walls of the oven. They should be free standing on the shelf. Double check the temperature to make sure that you do not destroy your boots.
- 5. Once the boots are inside the oven, close the door and set the time for approx. 4-5 minutes. DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THE OVEN DURING THIS TIME. Depending upon the size of the boots, you may need slightly longer time. It is fine to open the oven door and check your boots during the process. The best way to determine if your boots are heated enough is to "squeeze" the back of the boot around the heel area and the ABS material should be able to be manipulated. The best way for you to be sure is to squeeze this area before you heat the boot because you will feel how hard and stiff the material is prior to heating. Once it is heated through you will feel a definite difference and then you will know that your boots are ready to be shaped.
- 6. Put on a sock that you would usually wear when you skate and make sure that you have a comfortable chair in the immediate area. You will need to be comfortable during this process as it takes 30-40 minutes for the boots to fully cool before you can remove them from your feet.
- 7. Remove the boots from the oven and place on your feet. You will feel the instant warmth. If you find this to be too hot around your foot, remove it and allow it to cool for a few seconds, then place your feet inside the boots.
- 8. Once your feet are in the boots, start to tighten your laces. This begins the process. As you tighten your laces, the ABS material will start to conform to the contours of your feet. This material will shape to your foot as you tighten. Only tighten the laces the way you usually would. Over tightening the lace will lead to a firmer fit as the boot cools.
- 9. Lacing in the DBX boot also allows you to have variable widths. The toe box in the boot will also form to the shape of your toes so you can adjust the lace tension in that area differently to further up the boot if it is required. Variable lace tension is possible in the DBX boots because of the unique shape and cut of the material at the front of the boots.
- 10. Once you have your laces tightened on both feet, make sure that you can "wiggle" your toes comfortably in the boots.
- 11. Sitting on the chair and looking down at your boots, it may helpful for you to perform the following exercise to help shape the ankle areas of your boots. Place the end of the heels of your boots on the floor with the toes pointing towards the ceiling. Then with your heel staying on the floor, push your toes forward towards the floor. This will cause a "flexing" effect in the ankle area that will stretch the ABS material particularly around the Achilles tendon area. Once you have pushed forward and achieved the "flexing" - hold your feet in this position to achieve the desired shape. This action will help stretch that area of the boot if it is of concern to you.
- 12. Once the boots have cooled, loosen the laces significantly right down the length of the boot and gently remove your feet. The boot will still need to cool and harden. We recommend a full 24 hours before you attempt to skate.
- 13. Once 24 hours have passed, place the boots on your feet and lace them up accordingly. It is important to skate in the boots to see if the shape that was achieved is totally right for you. If you need to conduct further heat shaping in particular areas, we suggest using a hair dryer and manipulating that particular area(s) until you achieve the desired shape.
The process takes time. The process is different for everyone. Some people don't need to heat shape at all, and some people need to do some significant heat shaping that may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired shape. It is important to note here that the boot is designed to be manipulated. Don't be shy when manipulating the boot. Use as much force as you feel is necessary to achieve the desired shape with your hands. You will not damage the boots. In the past, people have not been able to achieve the right shape because they were simply being too gentle with their hands. Like kneading dough, you need to manipulate the material and shape it accordingly. Results will soon follow!
If at any time you are not sure of what to do, please STOP. Our retailers are fully trained in this process and can offer assistance. Alternatively, please email us here at head office and we will be very happy to "step you through" the process and offer advice. You are just an email away from help! We hope that this gives you the information you require to both understand and shape your DBX boots. As performance boots, you will love the "second skin" that DBX provides once shaped to your feet! ENJOY!

Heat molding instructions provided by Luigino & Jackson
Congratulations on your purchase of AquaTech™ 'enhanced' Luigino Quad boots. Follow the simple steps listed below and get ready to experience the best fitting shoe ever with our revolutionary AquaTech™ heat-molding technology. This process is 100% guaranteed under warranty.
- 1. Locate a large pot with lid (approximately 12 qt) that fits ONE boot/skate at a time.NEVER USE A CROCKPOT IT WILL DAMAGE THE BAG!
- 2. Locate your Aqua bags (2), provided with purchase of all Luigino quad boots - (also sold seperately)TO REMAIN UNDER WARRANTY - ALL MOLDINGS MUST BE DOUBLE BAGGED - If you do not have two bags contact Nistevo immediately or see your local dealer.
- 3. Fill pot 1/3 full, do not overfill. It is the steam that does the magic.
- 4. Bring water to a full boil.
- 5. Prep the boot, open laces from the toe up - making it easy to put foot inside, push tongue into the boot, open Velcro strap.
- 6. Place one into the bag HEEL first.
- 7. Place the boot & bag into the boiling water with the open end of the bag hangin over the edge - put the lid on the pot to hold and seal the bag during the molding process. the boot will not fully submerge under water. Secure the lid and patiently allow the steam to work its magic!
- 8. Leave boot in the water for a minimum of 7 minutes. (Do not stress, hot water will not damge your boots if you leave it longer.)
- 9. Remove the boot & bag being careful of the steam when removing the lid.
- 10. Remove the boot from the bag (DO NOT TOUCH THE METAL PIECES); be sure the tongue is positioned in the center of the foot to protect your foot from touching the hot eyelets.
- 11. Sitting on a chair, carefully place the heated boot on your foot. Keep in mind the upper materials are hot therefore, very pliable and conforming.
- 12. With your foot in the boot, tie it snug from bottom to top (LACES ARE WAXED AND STIFF BUT WILL BECOME SOFTER AFTER USE). Laces NEED TO BE TIGHT which will ensure a good mold/copy of your foot. (Note: DO NOT SKIP ANY EYELETS FOR THE MOLDING PROCESS.)
- 13. Still seated, position your foot under your knee, thighs parallel to the ground creating approximately 90 degree bend and hold that position for approximately 15 minutes. (Be sure your leg, foot and hip are even to ensure the shoe is being molded properly around the ankles, tendon and instep.Do NOT stand up during the molding process. The Aqua material is soft and needs to set on your foot before moving around.
Spot Molding:For spot molding, use hair dryer on high heat in a specific area then follow steps 11-13.
Creating Additional Space:For additional space in a specific area, insert a pad in that particular area during the molding process. After the shoe is cool remove the pad a enjoy your custom fit shoe.
Congratulations! You have successfully molded your Luigino Quad Shoe. If for any reason your feet go through changes or your shoe alters in shape, you can repeat these steps as many times as you like.
If you are going to resell Luigino Quad Shoes, you may also follow these steps to give the new owner the same custom fit. Warranties are non-transferable.
Mota Heat Molding Instructions
Heat molding instructions provided by Mota
Heat Molding By Oven
For complete and thorough molding around the entire foot.
This process takes very close attendance. Overheating can cause damage to the boots.
Keep in mind there are two different types of ovens, convection and element. It's important you know what you have. If you are using an element oven you must be extra careful, making sure the boots is in the middle and not touching any of the elements which will melt your boot.
NOTE: you are baking your boots (NOT broiling)
One boot at a time, NO plate can be mounted on your boot.
Getting started:
Remove: Velcro straps and foot beds, unzip zipper if you have the lace cover.
Open laces up enough that you can slip your foot in easily after removing it from the oven.
Be sure tongue is pushed back inside the boot and laces are all tucked in.
Pre-heat oven to 200 Degrees, 93 Celsius
If not going barefoot, have sox or skate SOX on the foot you are molding.
Have chair ready
Heat molding your boot:
Leaving oven on,
Place boot upright, sitting on the rack or baking sheet, center rack, center of oven, leave in the oven for 10-15 minutes (CHECKING ON THE BOOTS EVERY MINUTE PAST 10 MINUTES),
Check it, by squeezing the lower ankle area, should be soft/pliable, if it is soft go to next step. If not soft leave it for one minute, repeat this step in one minute increments until soft,
carefully remove the boot from the oven (boot will be HOT),
sitting down, put boot on your foot, carefully putting the tongue in position, tighten laces from the very bottom. Do not over tighten the materials are hot and soft. After laces are tight, stay sitting with your foot flat and your knee bent 90 degree for 15 minutes. (DO NOT STAND UP),
ok to stand after 15 minutes, (DO NOT WALK OR PULL UP YOUR HEEL) takes about 1 hour for the boot to be 100% set. Ok to remove your boot after 25 minutes.
Repeat for second boot.
These are not walking shoes, your heel cup may open and the soles may break if you attempt to walk in them. After you mount them to a plate your Mojo boot and plate will work as one unit with your foot.
Riedell Heat Molding Instructions
Heat molding instructions provided by Riedell
Depending on how you want your boots to fit, there are a few options for heat molding Riedell skate boots.
Molding TipsAfter molding, the metal components of skate boots may be very HOT! Watch out for buckles, eyelets, and aglets! After heating and lacing up the boot, try not to move around too much. Ideally you want to be in a skating stance so that your foot is as close to the shape that it would be while skating. Moving around in the boot will not allow the boot to cool in a uniform manner. Finally, after initial cooling, allow the boot to stand for several hours (up to a day) before any rigorous skating!
Option 1 (for specific "trouble spots"): Heat Gun or Hair DryerThis option is for individual problem areas and is the recommended method for Riedell boots. Keep the gun/dryer approximately 6-8 inches away from the boot, moving in a small circular pattern. Be careful not to overheat the the boot as this can cause the leather to burn or delamination of the soles and uppers. Once the material is warm to the touch and pliable, use your hands to massage & push out the problem spot, and hold until cool (blunt end of screwdriver can be used to push out particularly tight spots). This process can be repeated as many times as needed.
Note: You can massage areas of the boot by hand until they are pliable. Without heat, this method takes significantly more time and effort, but runs less risk of damaging the leather from overexposure to heat or stretching.
Option 2 (for general fit): Skate OvenThis option allows you to mold all three spots at once. Remove insole, laces, toe stop, and wheels and place boots in skate oven, not exceeding 200 degrees. Do NOT use kitchen oven! Bake time should not exceed 8 minutes. Once boots are warm, lace skates tight to skater's feet and leave on for at least 5 minutes to allow cooling. If problem area persists, use Option 1.

A Bi-level Formulation for the Combined Dynamic Equilibrium based Traffic Signal Control Satish V. Ukkusuri, Associate Professor, Purdue University (firstname.lastname@example.com), School of Civil Engineering, Purdue University Kien Doan, Purdue University (email@example.com), Ph.D. Student, School of Civil Engineering, Purdue University H. M. Abdul Aziz, Purdue University (email@example.com), Ph.D. Student, School of Civil Engineering, Purdue University Abstract This paper provides an approach to solve the system optimal dynamic traffic assignment problem for networks with multiple O-D pairs. The path-based cell transmission model is embedded as the underlying dynamic network loading procedure to propagate traffic. We propose a novel method to fully capture the effect of flow perturbation on total system cost and accurately compute path marginal cost for each path. This path marginal cost pattern is used in the projection algorithm to equilibrate the departure rate pattern and solve the system optimal dynamic traffic assignment. We observe that the results from projection algorithm are more reliable than those from method of successive average algorithm (MSA). Several numerical experiments are tested to illustrate the benefits of the proposed model. Dynamic Signal Control Optimization Solution method Numerical results Departure rate pattern Departure rate pattern and corresponding cost for O-D 1-12 Departure rate pattern and corresponding cost for O-Ds 21-29, 41-46 Departure rate pattern and corresponding cost for O-D 31-36 Optimal signal phasing and timing Convergence of the algorithm Total-cost comparisons with base case for different departure rate variations DUESC problem formulated as a Stackelberg game Related Works Allsop (1974), Allsop and Charlesworth (1977), Heydecker (1987), Meneguzzer (1995), Lee and Machemehl (2005), etc Static networks and cannot capture traffic dynamics Gartner and Stamatiadis (1998), Chen and Ben-akiva (1998), Ceylan and Bell (2004), Taale and Van Zuylen (2003), Taale (2004), Sun et al (2006), etc Do not incorporates departure time choice and is not based on a realistic traffic flow Dynamic Network Loading (DNL) Path-based cell transmission model (Ukkusuri et al, 2012; Daganzo, 1995) to propagate traffic in multiple OD networks. Incorporate signalized intersections in the DNL. It includes 1) Cell update constraints for ordinary, merging, diverging, and intersection merging cells; and 2) flow update constraints for ordinary, merging, diverging, and intersection links. Travel cost is based on the average travel time computation method (Ramadurai, 2009; Han et al, 2011; Ukkusuri et al, 2012). Dynamic User Equilibrium In Dynamic User Equilibrium assignment, no traveler has an incentive to unilaterally shift her route of departure time. Signal operators Design signal settings to optimize system performance Road users Choose routes and departure time to minimize travel cost Contributions 1.Using a spatial queue based dynamic network loading model that incorporates both route choice and departure time choice in the integrated DUESC model, 2.Handling the DUESC problem for general multiple O-D networks, 3.Considering dynamic sequence and duration of phases in signal setting, 4.Including cycle length constraint and handling all possible turning behaviors to address all possible phases, 5.Formulating the DUESC problem as Nash-Cournot game and Stackelberg game, 6.Solving the formulation by iterative method and exploring the robustness of the signal control solution under different traffic conditions through several numerical experiments. Problem definition Given: A traffic network with signalized intersections (in cell-based form) Each O-D pair with multiple paths Fixed OD demand Predefined phases Output: Path flow (departure rate) at equilibrium condition Optimal signal timing plan Phase sequence and duration (Dynamic Equilibrium) (Early and late schedule delay) (Demand satisfaction) (Minimizing system travel time) (Constraint for signal timing) (Traffic flow propagation constraints) The problem formulated as a Stackelberg game Iterative Optimization and Assignment (IOA) algorithm Solution Existence We show: Solution existence for the upper level Solution existence for the lower level Conclusions Propose a combined signal control and traffic assignment in dynamic contexts Use advanced traffic flow model (CTM and path-based CTM) Formulate the problem as a Nash-Cournot game and a Stackelberg game Develop a heuristic algorithm based on iterative optimization and assignment Solve upper level by mixed integer programing and lower level by projection algorithm Perform sensitivity analysis to confirm the robustness of the optimal solution 30% variation in demand make less than 7% change in total system cost, which demonstrates the robustness of the DUESC model. The network inefficiency goes from 1.26 to 1.01, which illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed DUESC model Majority of travelers choose path 1 and depart at these time Some of them use the second path OD 1-12 contains three paths: Path 1 includes cells: 1,2,3,4,5,6,102,7,8,9,10,11,12 Path 2 includes cells: 1,2,3,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,11,12 Path 2 includes cells: 1,2,3,4,5,6,105,44,45,51,52,53,54,11,12 There is a fixed demand for each OD. Leader: signal operator who optimizes the network performance is the decision variable for signal setting G( ; r( )) is the function of total travel cost r( ) the rational response of the road users to a given signal setting Follower: travelers who minimize their own costs r( ) is a solution of VI(R( ); F) for a given R( ) is set of feasible solution r corresponding to certain F is the cost function that map departure rate r and given signal setting to cost vector c In this Stackelberg game, the road users always optimize their utilities based on the signal settings controlled by the signal operator. The leader knows how road users will response to their signal settings. The pair ( * ; r * ) is a Stackelberg equilibrium if and only if: 1) the follower has no incentive to shift their decisions because it is the best solution based on *, and 2) the leader has no incentive to deviate from * because if he/she does so, the follower will change their decision as well, which makes the leader worst-off..

SG MONEYLENDER SINGAPORE LATEST NEWS Alternatives to payday loans
SG MONEYLENDER SINGAPORE LATEST NEWS Alternatives to payday loans
If you need to borrow money and are thinking of getting a payday loan, stop to consider your options. Although easy to set up, a payday loan can quickly turn into a problem debt for many people. It can also affect your credit rating if you don't pay it back on time.
Borrowing to pay for everyday essentials
A payday loan is almost certainly not the answer if you need the money to pay household bills, rent or a mortgage, or to pay back people you owe money to. If you're struggling to pay for the essentials, speak to a debt adviser. They can help you do a budget, prioritise your bills, talk to everyone you owe money to and see if you can agree a repayment plan.
If you'd like someone to do this on your behalf or some expert debt advice, there are lots of organisations that can help with free, confidential advice. There's no need to spend money getting a debt management company to help you sort out your money worries.
Money for non-essential spending
Payday loan companies often advertise using payday loans for things like nights out, new clothes or other treats. But if you do this, you'll end up paying much more than if you waited and saved the money to pay for them. And if you just can't wait, there are usually far cheaper ways to borrow.
Better ways of borrowing
Ask for a pay advance
If you need money before payday, it's always worth asking your employer if they'll give you an advance on your wages.
Borrowing from family and friends
Borrowing emergency money from a family member or a friend can help you avoid the risks that go with payday loans. But do make sure that both you and the person you're borrowing from take the time to:
- Work out a budget and a repayment plan
- Discuss what will happen if you're late paying it back or don't repay it at all
- Put your agreement in writing.
Using a credit card
If you've already got a credit card
You might be able to ask for a temporary increase in your credit card limit. But make sure you pay back the extra in full at the end of the month. Try to repay as much as you can each month as credit cards can be expensive if you leave debt owing or exceed the credit limit.
If your credit card application has been turned down
There are credit cards especially for people with poor credit scores and some of these companies accept people with poor credit history. They charge a much higher rate of interest than other cards but so long as you repay all or most of the balance each month they will be still cheaper than a payday loan.
Using an authorised overdraft
If you have a current account you may be able to get an authorised overdraft – or an overdraft extension – from your bank. The interest charged on overdrafts can be up to 19.5%. (Source: Money Advice Service comparison tables January 2014.) Yet as long as you use an arranged overdraft and stay within the limit, it will be cheaper than using a payday loan. Don't be tempted to slip into an unauthorised overdraft as this can be very expensive and lead to serious money problems.

A win on senior night was a non-negotiable.
Seymour's volleyball team held home court for a 25-16, 25-9, 25-13 Hoosier Hills Conference victory against visiting Jeffersonville on Monday.
With the final HHC win, Seymour is currently tied for second place in the final standings for the season.
They finish 5-2 in league play with losses to Columbus East and Floyd Central.
The first set opened with a number of unforced errors on either side before Seymour's Addie Rudge served five-straight winning points, including an ace, to put the Owls up 11-6.
Seymour rattled-off seven straight points to take a 23-13 advantage before a serving error by the Red Devils finished the set at 25-16.
Between crossovers, it was announced that Cecily Coffman had surpassed the school's single-season dig record (previously 455). She finished with 15 in the contest to move to 470 in 2016.
"The defensive players usually don't get a lot of credit on the court," Owls coach Holly Birdsong said. "Every touch that they make counts, and she was able to make one of those unnoticed records."
The Owls took advantage of the Red Devils' unforced errors in the second set to pull away early.
A kill by the Owls' Lauren Fleetwood forced Jeffersonville to take a timeout as the Owls lead 6-1.
After the break, the Owls' attack kept coming as they bolstered their lead to 11-2 off a kill from Makenna Fee.
The Owls' lead grew to 23-7 before a dink by Fee closed it at 25-9.
Jeffersonville took their first lead of the match at 6-5 in the third set, but it would prove short-lived as Seymour went back on top at 8-7 following a block by Jessica Blevins.
The Owls never looked back as they went on to win the final set by taking 17 of 23 points.
"I think the girls really came out ready to play," Birdsong said. "We knew we wanted to finish this conference game off in three straight. They were pretty focused to doing that."
As a team, the Owls had 60 digs, 10 blocks, 11 aces and 33 kills.
Prior to the match, Fleetwood, Rudge, Coffman and Hannah Sipe were honored for their time on the floor with the program.
"They're a great group of girls," Birdsong said of the seniors. "They've played many positions for us and we're going to miss them after the season — especially the defense they add to our game. Something we haven't had here for a long time is the high-level of defense we have going on."
Today, the Owls (19-12) will travel to Columbus North to end the regular season.

Hi all,
I am travelling from Milan to Lucerne. Scenic train Wilhelm Tell Express is one of the option to reach Lucerne.
Since I am buying Eurail Select Pass 2nd class, travelling by normal train from Milan to Lucerne (reservation fee Euro20), compared to travelling by scenic train (reservation fee Euro40+ compulsory top up to 1st class not sure how much, about Euro 60?), it is about additional Euro 80 if travelling by scenic train.
Does it worth the money? Understand that it includes lunch, but I read somewhere the lunch is not super delicious too.
Please correct me if any of my assumption above is not accurate.
Hi Liong,
Welcome to MySwissAlps! There is an alternative: simply take the same train and boat, but 2nd class. There's no need to book seats, so it's all free with your pass. You can buy lunch on board the ship or bring your own.
The Wilhelm Tell Express package is the "luxury" version of this trip. Whether it's worth the extra money is hard to decide for someone else.
Could you please explain how to book the same train and boat 2nd class and which site to do it on? We will be traveling on August 20 from Milan to Lucerne and want to make sure we have seats. Also, do we need to worry about trains being full?
We're talking about that here, lward.

Interview with Rob Relyea, Program Manager on the Kinect for Windows team
Interested in hearing more about the Kinect from the Horses Mouth (so to speak)?
Kinect for Windows Update: Interview with Rob Relyea
Here's a high-level view of what's already in 1.5 version of the Kinect SDK:
- RGB camera data (image data)
- Depth camera data
- Audio data (including direction) and speech recognition
- Enhanced skeletal tracking, including seated mode skeletal tracking
- Kinect Studio, to record, playback, and debug Kinect data
- Facial tracking capabilities
Since the release of version 1.5 last May, the Kinect for Windows team has been hard at work providing more functionality to developers. Their recent blog post disclosed some of the new features that will be available in the next version.
To summarize, the following small set of features (there will be more!) have been announced for the upcoming Kinect for Windows update on 10/08/2012:
- Hardware availability in additional countries (launching in China on October 8 and increasing to a total to 38 in coming months)
- SDK enhancements:
- Extended depth data (from 4 meters max to about 10 meters max)
- Color camera settings (including white balance and auto exposure)
- Windows 8 desktop support and Visual Studio 2012 support
Note that existing v1.5 projects (source code and binaries) will be compatible with the next SDK and runtime, so there's no need to wait for the next version to get your project started.
Rob Relyea is a Program Manager on the Kinect for Windows team, and a diehard enthusiast at heart. The following interview with Rob Relyea includes both a Kinect for Windows technology tour and also an overview and demonstration of some of the new features. Check it out!

G21 Super Air Nautique - CrowPro Wakeboard
Overview – by Matt Crowhurst of CrowPro Wake School
"The G21 is THE boat for all towable watersports, day cruising and simply making the most of any water time. Whether the unreal wake for any kind of towable watersport, unrivalled comfort and effortless drive or even the be the faux teak decking for yet more comfort and easy maintenance. From those lazy days out on the boat with up to 14 people where a ton of storage is needed for every kind of water toy, picnics and more, to those dawn patrol sessions with just a small crew, getting in your riding, skiing or surfing action, every conceivable set-up option just the touch of a button away
I am now totally spoilt when it comes to boats and any other ride will be a lesser one. Putting in the hours with the G at CrowPro Wake School needs a responsive, adaptable, smooth, reliable ride to make it stress free and a complete buzz to drive. When getting out behind her on my board, surfer or skate, there is not a boat that comes close to the supreme pull offered. The G21 is managable for UK lakes in terms of it's size and ridiculously quick pick ups and turns through the crazy 2:1 transmission. It's also very manageable for UK roads as far as the towing capacity needed by your towing vehicle.
Above all there is a whole new world of open water towable sports that can now be truly enjoyed and made use of, more so than with any other boat out there because of the NCRS hull, offering not only the best wake available for all towable sports, but an incredibly smooth ride on rough waters. This is a first for wakeboard/water ski orientated boats."

Effects of the Finite Ground Impedance on the Excess Attenuation of Noise
Kim, Dong-Il ; Kang, Byoung-Yong ; Chang, Ho-Gyeong ; Kim, Ye-Hyun ;
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of Korea, volume 13, issue 5, 1994, Pages 5~14
In this study, the ground impedance is measured using the standing wave method in a free field on the grass, the soil, and the ground covered with asphalt and cement. And the excess attenuation of sound is investigated. Results are obtained in the frequency range between 300Hz and 1000Hz. There are very good agreements between the results of the measured ground impedance and the prediction of Delanyand Bazley. The ground impedance is increased in order the grass, the soil, the asphalt and the cement road, decreased with frequency for each the ground. The excess attenuation of sound is mainly determined by the ground impedance. The experimental results of the excess attenuation over the different types and the microphone heights are compared with the theoretical values.
Development and Experiment of a Linear Array Acoustic Lens with 31 Microphones
Hyun, Seok-Bong ; Min, Dong-Hyun ; Kim, Su-Young ;
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of Korea, volume 13, issue 5, 1994, Pages 15~23
We developed an electronic lens for acoustic imaging systems, which is linear array with 31 microphones equally spaced with distance 34mm. Resonant frequency fo receiver circuit coupled to microphone is 20 kHz. We arranged 16 microphones horizontally and 15 microphones vertically, so that the array allows us to obtain a 2 dimensional angle of source, and to track the motion of source in real time. Due to the problem of aliasing in discrete Fourier Transfrom, the maximum observable angle of the lens is limited to 15
. We also employed quadrature phase detection scheme to adjust the focus. We have tested the acoustic lens with a personal computer in an anechoic room and obtained the results agreed with the acoustic imaging theory.
A Study on Word Juncture Modeling for Continuous Speech Recognition of Korean Language
Choi, In-Jeong ; Un, Chong-Kwan ;
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of Korea, volume 13, issue 5, 1994, Pages 24~31
In this paper, we study continuous speech recognition of Korean language using acoustic models of word juncture coarticulation. To alleviate the performance degradation due to coarticulation problems, we use context-dependent units that model inter-word transitions in addition to intra-word transitions. In all cases the initial phone of each word has to be specified for each possible final phone of the previous word similarly for the final phone of each word. To improve the robustness of the HMM parameters, the covariance matrix is smoothed. We also use position-dependent units to improve the discriminative power between units. Simulation results show that when the improved models of word juncture coarticulation are used. the recognition performance is considerably improved compared to the baseline system using only intra-word units.
A Study on the Speech Transmission Index Method for Estimating Articulation of Loudspeaking Telephony
Jang, Dae-Young ; Kang, Seong-Hoon ; Sim, Dong-Yeon ; Kim, Chun-Duck ;
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of Korea, volume 13, issue 5, 1994, Pages 32~39
The speech transmission quality in telephone is quantified in terms of loudness rating, but this method has been validated only for the handset telephony. The transmission quality of loudspeaking telephony in any room must be evaluated not only with speech transmission but also with background noise, echo and reverberation since the effect of room acoustics is much stroger for loudspeaking telephoy. Therefore, it requires a better approach to specify the quality of loudspeaking telephony. By calcuating the speech transmission index (STI), a physical method for measuring the quality of speech transmission was proposed by Steeneken. In this paper, the application of a STI method for estimating articulation of loudspeaking telephony was discussed. And the STI measurement system with high speed calculation was also three rooms, having different reverberation times. The result show that the STI decreases as the reverberation time of rooms increases. It suggests that speech transmission index method can be useful evaluating articulation of a loudspeaking telephony including the sound field characteristics.
A Study on the Sensitivity Compensation of Three-dimensional Acoustic Intensity Probe in the Higher Frequency Range
Kim, Suk-Jae ; Hideo, Suzuki ; Kim, Chun-Duck ;
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of Korea, volume 13, issue 5, 1994, Pages 40~50
In this paper, the sensitivity compensation method for three-dimensional acoustic intensity probe in the higher frequency range has been studied. The measurement error in the higher frequency range is generated from the phase mismatch between microphone's signals of the probe. If the wavelength of sound signal measured is less than those of the distance between microphones of the probe, that is, the higher frequency of the sound signal, the bigger measurement error is generated. In this study, we proposed the compensation methods for one-dimensional acoustic intensity probe with two-microphones, and the efficiency of those methods were investigated by numerical calculation of computer. It was most effective method to compensate the phase mismatch between microphone for the acoustic intensity probe was investigated for the sound estimated. and the efficiency of this method in a three-dimensional probe was investigated for the sound wave travelling in the arbitrary direction by numerical calculation of computer. In this result, the efficiency was proved that, for the measurement error of 1dB or less with the three-dimensional probe of 60mm space, the frequency should be less than 1.2kHz without the error compensation method, but the frequency increased up to 2.8kHz with the error compensation method.
A Study on the Generation of Multi-syllable Nonsense Wordset for the Assessment of Synthetic Speech
Jo, Cheol-Woo ; Kim, Kyung-Tae ; Lee, Yong-Ju ;
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of Korea, volume 13, issue 5, 1994, Pages 51~58
These times many kinds of man-machine Interfaces using speech signal, speech recognizers or speech synthesizers, are proposed and utilized in practice. Especially speech synthesis system is widely used in our life. But its assessment method is still in its first stage. In this paper we propose a method to generate multi-syllable nonsense wordset for the purpose of synthetic speech assessment and applies the wordset to one commercial text-to-speech system. Some results about the experiment is suggested and it is verified that the method to generate a nonsense wordset can be used to assess the intelligibility of the synthesizer in phoneme level or in phonemic environmental level.

This paper describes the performance assessment test and analysis of test results on a Korean speech recognizer which recognizes Lombard effect received speech in noisy environment, as a basic performance assessment research. In the assessement test, standard speech data were first manipulated close to speech uttered in a noisy environment, and then performance assessment tests were carried out along with the assessment items (the type of noise, SNR) in two ways-one with Lombard effect received speech(LES), the other with not received(NLES). As a result, when 90% of recognition rate is set to be a recognition limit, it was achieved at 10dB SNR point with LES, while at 30dB with NLES. This 20dB of SNR difference indicates Lombard effect should be considered in real world assessment test. The type of noises didn't affect performance of recognizers in out tests. ANOVA analysis, in evaluating several kinds of recognizers, showed every assessment item affecting the recognition performance could be quantified.

Acoustic cues of some consonantal phonology were tested in Korean words. All Korean consonants were recorded and acoustically analyzed in controlled phonological environments :ⅰ) word-initial, ⅱ) inter-vocalic, and ⅲ) word-final positions. The observed acoustic regulations are : ⅰ) The lengths of obstruents are longer word-initially than word-finally, ⅱ) The lengths of sonorants are longer word-finally than in word-initial or inter-vocalic positions, ⅲ) The formants of the lateral sound /l/ are higher word-finally than intervocalically. The phonological explanations of these acoustic regulations can be found in the rules of ⅰ) inter-vocalic voicing of plain stops, ⅱ) syllable-final unreleasing of obstruents, ⅲ) word-initial aspiration of stops, and ⅳ) liquid alternation between [r] and [l]. Numerical data of all these acoustic regulations are reported in order to facilitate their application toward improving naturalness for speech synthesis and accurateness for speech recognition
Pitch Detection Using Variable Bandwidth LPF

In speech signal processing, it is very important to detect the pitch exactly. Although various methods for detecting the pitch of speech signals have been developed, it is difficult to exactly extract the pitch for wide range of speakers and various utterances. Thus we propose a new pitch detection algorithm which takes advantage of the G-peak extraction. It is a method to detect the pitch period of the voiced signals by finding MZCI (maximum zero-crossing interval) of the G-peak which is defined as cut-off bandwidth rate of LPF (low pass filter). This algorithm performs robustly with a gross error rate of 3.63% even in 0 dB SNR environement. The gross error rate for clean speech is only 0.18%. Also it is able to process all courses with high speed.

Congressional Budget Includes Earmark to Keep Washington's Sexual Assault DNA Program Moving Forward
"Without this funding, our DNA Stranger Rape Program would have ended in2008. With these funds, we can quickly solve rape cases and preventadditional rapes by keeping sex predators off the streets," said Don Pierce,Executive Director of WASPC.
In November 2006, WASPC began the DNA Stranger Rape Program. The programutilizes a private laboratory to analyze DNA evidence from rape cases in 30days or less. Prior to this program, when a stranger rape occurred, the rapekit was routinely placed into a long backlog of no suspect cases.
The WASPC DNA Stranger Rape Program is designed to be fast and effective.When a stranger rape occurs in Washington State, WASPC immediately works withthe local law enforcement agency to ensure the rape kit is on a plane to a labin Dallas, Texas. There, it receives priority DNA testing by a private DNAtesting laboratory that is able to guarantee results within 30 days. The testresults are then compared to known suspects and given to the Washington StatePatrol to be compared to state and national DNA databases. Nationalstatistics indicate that a match with a suspect will occur in approximatelyone third of the cases where there was no original suspect.
The DNA Stranger Rape Program has been very effective and producedimmediate results upon implementation. Within a week of starting the program,it identified the rapist of a young girl in Olympia in a highly publicizedcase. In addition to identifying the actual perpetrator, the DNA testexonerated an innocent suspect.
Knowing that the program was scheduled to run out of funding in 2008,WASPC approached the Washington Congressional delegation for help. Throughthe collective efforts of Senators Murray and Cantwell and Congressmen Dicks,Smith, and Reichert, the funding was secured. "The delegation got behind thisproject," said Pierce. "We are fortunate in Washington State to have a groupof congressional members who are able to secure funds for important WashingtonState programs."
With the $961,000 congressional earmark, the program will likely havesufficient funding to operate through 2009.

There is this terrific program created by theleangreenbean.com that I have fallen completely in love with. Do you remember when you were in elementary school and your teacher would assign you pen pals from across the country/world? It was the best!! Pen pals were very cool.
The Lean Green Bean has created a Foodie Pen Pals program. What?! Pen pal + food = the most amazing invention ever!! It is pure genius!
Here is how it works: You sign up before the first of the month, then on the 5th of the month, Lindsay (the creator of the program) pairs you with another "foodie". You send a wonderful box filled with fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats! The spending limit is $15. The box must also include something written.
You don't receive a box from the same person you send it to, so you get the pleasure of virtually meeting two different individuals from across our nation. On the last day of the month, if you're a blogger, you publish your Foodie Box on your blog to share with the blogging community.
My box this month was sent by Alex all the way in Iowa! Alex is a blogger at Alex Tries it Out – she is a runner, blogger, designer, and a bit of a geek, so go by and check her site out 🙂
Here's what she sent!
- Peanut Butter & Co – White Chocolate Wonderful: This all natural peanut butter and white chocolate blend is impressive. It only has a few ingredients: peanuts, evaporated cane juice, vanilla, cocoa butter, palm fruit oil, lecithin (from sunflowers) and salt. It also happens to be incredibly tasty. We have had it for a little under 2 weeks, and there is only about a tablespoon left. Elle and I have pretty much eaten the whole jar 🙂
- Gino's Spaghetti Sauce: Straight from her home state of Iowa, this all natural Spaghetti sauce is incredible. It is by far the best jarred spaghetti sauce I have ever had. It has the perfect blend of spices, and doesn't require any doctoring. I am planning to look to see if that company ships nationally!
- Vita Coco – Pure Coconut Water with Mango & Peach: This hilarious drink boasts: "More potassium than a banana (don't tell the monkeys)" and "No fat and no cholesterol (means big hearts & small butts)". It's simply made from coconut water, mango and peach puree and vitamin C. It is packed with electrolytes and helps keep the body hydrated.
- Popchips – Jalapeno Potato: I told Alex that I LOVE spicy food, and she delivered! These baked (not fried) "chips" have no preservatives, no artificial flavors or colors, they're vegan and gluten free. They're flavorful, crunchy and filling. I hadn't heard of this snack before, but you can guarantee it is now on my list of favorite healthy snacks!
- Good Greens – Chocolate Coconut Bar: An all natural, coconut and chocolate treat — I confess, I haven't eaten it yet, because I have been saving it. It looks decadent, with the added benefit of being healthy and sweet at the same time. That's a huge win in my book!
Alex put together a delightfully considerate foodie box for me! I really appreciated that everything was healthy and free from junky preservatives, dyes, and other bad ingredients. I love everything!
Thanks so much for the wonderful box, Alex!

By Stephanie Wasko Special to Federal News Radio
Agencies should start providing employees with what they need to learn for their careers, not just marking off training checklists, according to Chief Learning Officer Mike Casey from the General Services Administration. He said the federal workforce needs to change its training mindset to be more performance and learning focused.
Casey said he pictures the ideal federal training system being more like a "self-weeding garden" where workers are provided with career paths, training opportunities, assessments and strategies that they can use when needed. And, he said, there needs to be a switch to a "life-long learning" mindset.
"Training is important and we still need to do it right," Casey said in an interview on Federal News Radio's In Depth with Francis Rose radio show. "But training is not an end. It is a means to an end. Learning is half-way home for us. Our job is to shift the dialogue from training, to what people are learning, to the most important thing — are they performing better in the workforce?"

Part of that cultural shift involves employees taking charge of their own learning and development, said Casey, and discarding the idea that training is solely the responsibility of human resources.
Chief learning officers and training officials still need to provide the right training for workers, but the methods of delivery need to change, Casey said.
"We know so much more about how people learn," he said, "and how to deliver that training so that they learn it and when they walk out of that room, they've got something they can take back to the workplace and use."
By changing the methods to give employees what they need when they need it, workers will use what they learn because they "actually learned it."
Casey admitted that it will be a long process to implement this cultural change. The first step, he said, involves reevaluating the expectations for training programs and asking the right questions aimed at performance.
"It is less of a question of what we're teaching them and more of a question of why are they there?" he said.
The ability to measure success must be built into training development, said Casey. Calculating return on investment for training programs does not necessarily indicate that employees are learning. Casey said evaluation must be done to see if employees are performing better every day, not on ROI of training programs or how employees "feel" about the programs.
"By understanding what our expectations are for the program we are in an infinitely better position to be able to measure whether or not we're getting there," Casey said.
Although training would progress toward a less-structured and informal process, Casey said the trend follows other aspects of life and is better suited to the younger generation.

Decent place. Most of the 12oz is cold, which I didnt want since I was traveling. Selection is good, not great, but this is worth the stop.
Spookgolds (11) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | August 20, 2011
Really great selection at this place. If they had food I would never leave.
MikeMoriendi (50) Boynton Beach, | April 27, 2011
Stopped in on my trip to PA when heading to my aunts house. Really well stocked. Love that majority of the beer are in coolers and ready to drink when you get to your destination. Lots of awesome stuff to choose from. The woman working there was very nice and knowledgeable. Pricing seemed pretty normal. Must stop in NE Philly.
Chalsk (41) North Caldwell, New Jersey | July 31, 2010
Great place. Stopped on my way to visit Leafs93. Very clean, very organized. The owner was very friendly. Being from NJ, I was in love with the fact that they had Alesmith, Port/Lost Abbey, Russian River, and Bells. Im sure they had some Cigar CIty as well, and I am upset I forgot to give it a look. If I ever find myself down that way again, this is a definite must stop.
Capa (411) Kitsap, Washington | June 3, 2010
Very clean with most of there stuff in coolers. Really nice selection of local, U.S., and worldly brews. Most of the beer in the coolers is 12oz with the bombers ket warm (a few are in coolers, though). They fill growlers or you can buy a pint and drink as you browse. Friendly staff. A bit pricey but best selection in the area. Ill be back.
italianjohn (200) Penndel, Pennsylvania | April 30, 2010| Updated May 3, 2013
A nice clean place with lots of coolers ... Good selection of new arrivals, special brews and your average joe .... they have a few taps in the back, growler fills and some events ... the guys are all helpful and know their beers .... kind of pricey, but the convenience of building a six pack in PA makes it appealing
oOJUXEOo (18) Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania | April 10, 2010
I found out about this place recently and had to go check it out. Selection is fantastic. They do occasional samplings from different brewers, which is a great idea for a beer store. They have growlers available for their taps in the back, about 5 of them. They allow you do split up six packs and make your own... another hard thing to do in Pennsylvania. Prices are OK. Service was great, very helpful, will look in the back for things that may not be up front.
MadIndian (47) Levittown, Pennsylvania | February 21, 2010| Updated May 7, 2010
My wife accidentally stumbled onto this gem for me. I wasnt expecting much when I went in but I was rather surprised with the selection. I usually have to travel to Issacs or Capones to find quality beer. The service is friendly and each time I go in, the selection seems to be growing. You can crack a beer open in the store and drink it right their. And they usually have something on draft in the back. Last week I believe he had Bells Oberon on draft. Updates 5/6 They now have ALESMITH AND THE ANGELS SHARE
raymow (4) Bensalem, Pennsylvania | January 4, 2010
Nice place - great idea - weve needed a place like this in the Northeast for a while now. The only down side is the price (a bit high) but the cost of good beer is definitely up these days so its not necessarily their fault. Also, good selection - but it could be even better.

Nasser Laham, an associate of Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen and senior level journalist in the Palestinian Authority, stated that this year will be a year of Palestinian appeals to The Hague: "If we succeed with one, only one, then it will be another world."
From: WesternJournalism
On Friday past week the Security Council of the United Nations included a new chapter to what Professor Julius Stone once dubbed "the assault on the law of nations."
The well known expert on intercontinental law, who passed away in 1985, was referring to the distortion of international law concerning the condition of the territories conquered by Israel during the 1967 Six Day War.
This strike on international regulation has now been prolonged to the UN's greatest body, which, in a new settlement, perpetrated the huge lie that the Jewish small towns and cities in Samaria and Judea and even the neighborhoods developed over the 1948 armistice line in Jerusalem are "illegal.".
The Security Council took on the anti-settlement resolution against Israel with the true blessing of the Obama administration, which rejected to use its veto ideal and instead refrained from the choice.
Resolution 2334 states that "Israel's establishment of negotiations in Palestinian region occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, had no legal validity, constituting a flagrant infraction under international law and a major barrier to the vision of two States living side-by-side in calmness and security, within internationally recognized borders.".
The UN Security Council furthermore "reiterated its demand that Israel immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, consisting of East Jerusalem. It gave emphasis that it would not acknowledge any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, featuring with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the two sides through negotiations.".
The Israeli federal government reacted furiously to the settlement and vowed to launch an all-out fight against it.
Israel instantly received the support of President-elect Donald Trump who published an angry tweet right after the vote vowing "things will be different" as quickly as he takes office in January.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed his anger at outgoing President Barack Obama, whom he called as unfavorable to the Jewish State as previous President Jimmy Carter who is a prominent figure in the pro-Palestinian lobby.
In stark contrast to an explicit commitment dating back to 2011, "the Obama management took a disgraceful anti-Israel step at the UN. I want to tell you that the [UNSC] choice not only does not bring peace closer, but it makes it more distant. It undermines justice and truth," Netanyahu said Saturday.
" Think about this absurdity," the Israeli PM continued," half a million people are being butchered in Syria, tens of thousands slaughtered in Sudan, the Middle East is in flames and the Obama administration and the Security Council choose to pick the only democracy in the Middle East– the State of Israel. What an embarassment," Netanyahu fumed.
Pointing to the president-elect, Netanyahu predicted that the "old world bias against Israel" would come to an end.
" We are entering a new era and in the new era there will be a price for those trying to harm Israel," the longest serving Israeli PM ever, said.
The Israeli federal government later disclosed that it has "ironclad information" concerning the Obama administration's active involvement in drawing up the resolution, and as a steering force behind the passing of the measure.
David Keyes, one of Netanyahu's representatives, told Fox News that the government had "rather ironclad relevant information from sources in both the Arab world and internationally that this was an intentional push by the United States and in fact they helped create the resolution in the first place.".
There were people who initially claimed the settlement was meaningless and would not change the situation on the ground.
As Times reporter Melanie Philips pointed out on her blog, the settlement "makes a negotiated settlement between Israel and the Palestinians very much tougher since the Palestinians will now have no enticement to negotiate the extents of a future Palestine state.".
After all, the settlement states "it would not recognize any changes to the 4 June 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem.".
According to the UNSC, Israel has to return to what former Israeli Overseas Minister Abba Eban called "the Auschwitz lines".
The Palestinian Arabs have already indicated that they will use the settlement to increase their quarrelsome behavior and that they will now sue IDF officers and soldiers at the International Criminal Court of law in The Hague.
" 2017 will be a year of proceedings at The Hague," Nasser Laham, and consultant to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said.
" We have lots of sheets with the names of IDF officers. Every pilot, every single officer and every soldier with his picture and his name is in our possession and we are waiting for them at The Hague. If we succeed with one, only one, then it will certainly be another world," he warned.
Laham stated that the next Intifada will be combated in ties and suits.
Don't use violence. They will certainly give us another chance," Laham said on Palestinian tv while Fatah published a cartoon on its Facebookpost depicting a hand using a knife in the form of Israel and the word "Palestine" with the map of the Jewish State.
As an outcome of the resolution, the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement will also be strengthened in its efforts to get rid of the Jewish State and to replace it by an Arab one.
The settlement, in article 5, effectively encourages the nations of the world to boycott products made over the so-called Green Line, the 1948 armistice line and flips U.S. residential law that never ever branded the so-called settlements illegal.
The settlement hammers the closing nail in the coffin of the Oslo Accords that said the status of the Israeli "settlements" should be negotiated in a final-status contract with the Palestinian Authority.
These will be the results of Obama's latest trap on Israel.
In plain contrast to an explicit commitment dating back to 2011, "the Obama administration took a shameful anti-Israel step at the UN. It undermines justice and truth," Netanyahu said Saturday.
Every single pilot, every officer and every soldier with his picture and his name is in our ownership and we are waiting for them at The Hague. If we succeed with one, only one, then it will definitely be another world," he alerted.
They will give us another opportunity," Laham said on Palestinian television while Fatah published a cartoon on its Facebook page depicting a hand with a knife in the form of Israel and the phrase "Palestine" along the map of the Jewish State.

This will be vetoed by President Trump. We know the war is raging between good and evil and it becomes more and more clear what side people are on.
Israel was given to the Jews by God. The globalists are messing with the Creator, and they WILL regret it.
