Normally, the system will keep a credit balance on account for users, tied to a credit card and replenished as the balance drops below a preset threshold. Users of the system can manage their accounts through the I-Pass web site. Fines have reportedly often escalated into thousands of dollars due to the failure of the account holder to act by contacting ISTHA about the violation. If the account holder fails to contact the tollway authority by the due date on their violation notice, additional fines will be levied, eventually leading to having their vehicles plates, drivers license, or both, suspended. It is up to the account holder to contact ISTHA. I-Pass account holders have a window of time to contact ISTHA and remedy the violation by having the cost of the unpaid toll deducted from their account balance and can have the $20 fee waived. Once the license plate holders accrue three violations, they will receive a notice of violation from ISTHA with a demand to pay. If the driver does not have funds in the account and are not set up for auto refill on a credit card, the toll will be considered unpaid and a $20 fine will be levied, in addition to the cash rate (non-discounted) cost of the toll. If a driver does not have a transponder in the car, the license plate still registers under the system as being affiliated with an account and, as long as there are funds in the account, the driver will not be in violation, although if more than three instances occur in a month, the discount will not be granted and each subsequent pass without a transponder will result in the cash fee being deducted from the account. Each I-Pass account can register multiple vehicles under the account. If a vehicle registered with I-Pass passes through a toll collection without the transponder, the vehicle will be considered in violation only if the vehicle's license plate is not registered on an I-Pass account. In June 2005, I-Pass became compatible with toll collection on the Chicago Skyway. Starting with a toll rate increase which came into effect on January 1, 2005, a significant discount was granted if an I-Pass was used to pay the toll. Likewise, entering or exiting the tollway system with an I-Pass allows continuous movement through the toll gate, albeit at a decelerated speed of 15 miles per hour (24 km/h). The main advantage to the system was the eventual withdrawal of full-length tollbooths from the tollway system for full-speed open road tolling, while customers paying cash continued to have to slow down onto exit-like automated tollbooths until the spring of 2020. I-Pass transponders can be used at all toll plazas, including those located on entrance and exit ramps.

"It is logical to think that the SM7350 will succeed the Snapdragon 765 series - that has a part number of SM7250," the report added. ![]() Meanwhile, another report by Tech Inspected citing a tipster indicated that the SM7350 is part number of a new 700 series chip developed by Qualcomm. If reports about the 5G support are true, it is safe to assume that LG will pack Snapdragon 765 or 765G chipsets since they are the only 7-series chips from Qualcomm to feature a 5G modem.īut, as pointed out by Japanese blog Reameizu last month, the mysterious 'lito' processor - as spotted in Galaxy S20 series kernel source - is not Snapdragon 765G SoC, but rather a 'prototype' of the Snapdragon 765 5G or "possibly the SM7350" that is also rumoured to come with 5G support. ![]() It was reported that LG will use an unspecified Snapdragon 7-series chipset to add 5G support to the smartphones included in the rumoured unnamed-series. Moreover, the phone is listed to run Android 10 and pack 8GB of RAM.Īs mentioned above, LG is reportedly working on a new series that will replace the 'G' series premium smartphones next month. The device is also said to be powered by octa-core Qualcomm 'lito' chipset that has a base clock speed of 1.8GHz. The listing also highlights that the LG phone managed 506 points in the single-core test and 1,545 points in the multi-core department. To quickly summarise, from the Geenkbench listing we can notice the model number of the LG phone as LGE LM-G900N. It is rumoured that the Qualcomm processor codenamed 'lito' is a successor to Snapdragon 765 or 765G chipsets that will come with 5G support. Not much is unknown about the 'lito' processor, however, reports last month indicated that Qualcomm is developing four new processors. The South Korean tech company is yet to confirm this development, however, in the meantime a mysterious LG smartphone with 8GB RAM and octa-core Qualcomm 'lito' processor has been spotted in a Geekbench listing. LG is rumoured to abandon the ‘G' series of premium smartphones and unveil its replacement series on May 15. ![]() ![]() ![]() The key to healthy curls is moisture and using salt-containing hair care products will only zap the moisture from your hair. Salt, as in table salt, is not a good ingredient to have in any product for curly hair, and it’s for the same reason you should avoid sulfates: they dry out the hair. Using sulfate products over time can make your hair difficult to style and increase your chances of breakage.įurthermore, sulfates can be irritating to the scalp. So, you’ll certainly want to avoid these products if you have a sensitive scalp. Once those oils are removed, your hair may be left dry and brittle. Why? Because they cleanse the hair too well, removing the scalp’s natural oils. ![]() Sulfates (e.g., ammonium lauryl sulfate, ammonium laureth sulfate) aren’t good for anyone’s hair, but especially curly hair, which is prone to dryness. Let’s take a closer look at some of the potentially harmful ingredients in the products: Sulfates Harmful Ingredients in Tresemme ProductsĬonsidering that the above Tresemme products are for curly hair, it’s surprising that they have so many “bad” ingredients in them. Each of them contains some great ingredients, but they also have ingredients that people with curly hair should avoid. Tresemme also has a defining hair gel, hair mousse, and a holding spray targeted toward people with curly hair. Yet, it also has silicones, a synthetic fragrance, and other chemicals that the average person won’t be able to pronounce. Like the other products in the Flawless Curls line, it has both coconut oil and avocado oil in it. ![]() Flawless Curls Conditioner with Coconut Oil – This is a moisturizing conditioner targeted toward curls. ![]() And even though it cleans effectively, it is one of the more questionable products by Tresemme, given that it contains sulfates, salt, alcohol, and an artificial fragrance. Tresemme also has a gelatin anti-breakage shampoo that’s really popular. Flawless Curls Shampoo with Coconut Oil – This shampoo gets your hair super clean, free of buildup, and ready for the conditioning and styling processes.Instead, it lists cyclopentasiloxane first, followed by mineral oil and other ingredients that curly girls usually try to avoid. It does contain avocado and coconut oil, though these two are not listed first or second on the ingredient list. Flawless Curls Hydrating Anti-Frizz Hair Oil with Coconut Oil – This is an oil you can use on a frequent basis to moisturize your curls and scalp.But, just like the leave-in spray, it has some ingredients many naturals would rather pass on, like a non-water-soluble silicone (dimethicone), synthetic fragrance, and alcohol (benzyl alcohol). It has hydrating fatty alcohols, avocado oil, coconut oil, and other goodies that make your hair look better. Flawless Curls Defining Hair Cream with Coconut Oil – This is a cream that brings out the natural definition in your curls, making for shiny hair, frizz-free wash n’ gos and natural styles.The downsides to the product are that it contains benzyl alcohol and an artificial fragrance. Customers state that the leave-in is lightweight and effective. It is paraben-free and contains penetrating avocado and coconut oils that make your hair feel soft and look beautiful. Flawless Curls Refresh Leave-In Conditioner Spray with Coconut Oil – This is a leave-in and curl refresher spray formulated to impart moisture to even the thirstiest strands.Here are some of the products that Tresemme has created especially for curls, kinks, waves, and coils: Unfortunately, their curly hair products do not seem to have been developed with curly girls in mind. Tresemme manufactures a ton of different hair care and styling products for a wide range of hair types.Ĭertain products are formulated for those with straight hair, while others are marketed toward those with curly hair strands.

This rate derived from early cross-reactivity studies seems to have been caused, at least partially, by contamination of early preparations of cephalosporins with trace amounts of penicillin G. The unadjusted risk ratio for sulfonamide antibiotic, rather than cephalosporin after penicillin allergic-like events was 7.2 (confidence interval 3.8-13.5). The absolute risk of anaphylaxis after a cephalosporin was less than 0.001%. Among patients receiving a penicillin followed by a cephalosporin, the unadjusted risk ratio of an allergic-like event for those who had a prior event, compared with those who had no such prior event, narrowly defined, was 10.1 (confidence interval 7.4-13.8).

Rouleau says to keep the tweezer body perpendicular to where you’re extracting, and keep the curved part of the tips on your skin. To use it correctly, place the open tips on each side of the blackhead. Better yet, use an extractor tool.Īn extractor tool is used in-office by most aestheticians, so if you’re trying to closely replicate your favorite facial, it’s your best bet. Do not use your nails, lest you puncture your skin. “For example, position fingers at three o’clock and nine o’clock, and then five o’clock and ten o’clock, then two o’clock and seven o’clock,” she says. While squeezing, relocate your fingers to make it easier and to avoid creating marks. “Widen them out a bit so that the blackhead will be extracted more easily from a deeper level within your skin,” says Rouleau.

Metallica was formed in the early 1980s by young and ambitious Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield. It’s been confirmed sometime in the early 2010s that he had it in his live rig, along with Line 6 DM4, although it’s not certain whether he still uses it. However, James has, or had, a slightly more advanced version, the M107 Phase 100 model. MXR is famous for its phaser pedals, especially the classic Phase 90. It’s also fitted with two very powerful 12-inch speakers that can work in stereo mode. It’s also very well-known for its chorus and vibrato effects circuitry, providing a very “spacious”-sounding effect. Both channels come with two inputs and an additional “bright” switch that adds some high-ends into the mix. This is a solid-state amp that comes with two channels, although it’s better-known for the clean one. The amp was introduced back in the 1970s and its circuitry remains almost unchanged even to this day. Therefore, starting with the “Justice” album, all of James’ clean sections are played through Roland’s legendry Jazz Chorus amp. ![]() Although you’d expect a metal guitarist to use something heavier, these proved to be pretty useful for clean sections. Many sound aficionados have branded this device as one of the key components for everyone looking to achieve the crushing Metallica guitar tone of the 1980s thrash metal era.īack when Metallica began recording the “…And Justice for All” album, James truly got into the crystal clear and controlled tone of Roland’s JC-120 Jazz Chorus amp. It was one of the most diverse amps of the era, although it eventually became really popular among lovers of heavy and tight tones. Aside from having two channels, the amp also had an additional 5-band graphic equalizer for more detailed tone shaping. This particular model served as a blueprint for some of Mesa Boogie’s most advanced amps. Of course, the band kept using it on the “Justice” album, although the resulting tone was different, mostly due to the final mix of the record. Working with producer Flemming Rasmussen, they took time to tweak the tone and perfect it, which is what we can hear on the “Master of Puppets” album. You don’t often see a single piece of gear changing the game for one band’s career, but the pretty tight tone of Mesa Boogie’s Mark IIC+ was so powerful that it helped them create one of the albums that eventually ended up in The Library of Congress. Now, this is where things took a completely different turn for Metallica. When most people ask what guitar does James Hetfield plays one of his explorer styles guitars, such as this Ken Lawrence model, comes to mind. This was during the band’s “Load” and “Reload” era, which was met with somewhat mixed reactions from the fans but saw James utilize different sounds and techniques compared to the group’s full-on thrash metal period of the 1980s. ![]() You can see him using this second one on a lot of Metallica’s live shows, so it has seen a lot of action over the years. He got the second one in the early 2000s, and this instrument features a Bubinga top, as well as some rather stylish fretboard inlays. However, James has at least two of these Explorers. It was initially fitted with EMG 81 and 60 active humbucker pickups, although he later swapped them with his signature EMG-JH humbuckers. The first instrument he built for him was a pretty-looking explorer with a mahogany body, mahogany neck, and a unique-looking headstock. ![]() But Hetfield’s cooperation with Ken goes way back to the mid-1990s. ![]() ![]() It’s a high-performance filament that you only bring out when absolutely needed. It was never meant to be the type of filament that you could use to print things just for fun. PEEK is a very intimidating filament because of its high demands, in terms of both price and 3D printing parameters. ![]() Although it’s perfectly understandable why PEEK is so expensive, we are hoping that improvements in technology and growing demand can drive down the prices soon. At this price tag, we don’t expect many casual 3D printing hobbyists to buy a spool of PEEK filament just to try it out. One of the major hurdles to the widespread use of PEEK filament is the fact that it’s very expensive – easily four to five times the cost of an equivalent spool of ABS or PLA. You will have to slow down this cooling process so that the filament remains just hot enough to create molecular bonds across the layers. Since PEEK prints at very high temperatures, it also cools very rapidly as soon as it exits the nozzle. However, this is a characteristic that you will only experience if you follow the proper 3D printing fundamentals. This means that prints made with PEEK have almost equal strength across all three dimensions. Good layer adhesionīecause of the very high temperatures at which PEEK prints, it usually exhibits very good layer adhesion. It’s also very resistant to biodegradation and breakdown by UV radiation, which makes it an excellent material for items meant to be used or displayed outdoors. This makes PEEK suitable for functional parts that go through regular movement or are subjected to sudden or sustained pressure. Like ABS or Nylon, prints made with PEEK filaments are also exceptionally strong and rigid. With thermal stability of up to 250 ☌, PEEK is a suitable material for many engineering processes or medical instruments and prosthetics that need to be sterilized at high temperatures. As you would expect, PEEK has thermal stability unequaled in the world of 3D printing filaments. The difficulties of printing with PEEK filament pay off when you realize just how robust the finished product is. If you’re planning on printing with PEEK, you’ll have to be very discerning about the specs of your 3D printer. This property sets PEEK filament apart immediately because not many desktop 3D printers are capable of achieving such temperatures. Correspondingly, you will need a heated bed that can be set to as high as 120 ☌. To print with PEEK, you need a 3D printer that can heat up to 360 to 400 ☌. ![]() We may consider ABS or Nylon as “high-temperature filaments,” but neither of those two even come close to the temperatures needed for PEEK. Here are the characteristics of PEEK filament that makes it quite unique: 1. However, this also corresponds to a much higher price tag. It’s classified as a high-performance filament, which means that it exhibits better overall properties. PEEK belongs to a class that’s a little different than most of the other 3D printing filaments. For these high-performance applications, PEEK is typically processed using extrusion or injection molding methods. It has also been used in the field of medical implants, such as for replacement skeletal components. ![]() Because of its excellent physical and chemical properties, PEEK has been used to manufacture engineering parts such as piston parts, pumps, bearings, compressor valves, and electrical cable insulation. With a tensile strength of 90 to 100 MPa and a Young’s modulus of 3.6 GPa, PEEK is both rigid and strong.Īpplications of PEEK can be derived either from its solid form or by 3D printing from its filament form. It has a high resistance to biodegradation, chemical degradation in organic and aqueous environments, and can have a useful operating temperature range of up to 250 ☌. It is created by a step-growth polymerization process conducted at very high temperatures. PEEK stands for Polyether Ether Ketone, a semi-crystalline thermoplastic that is well-known for its excellent mechanical strength and chemical resistance. What makes PEEK filament so special? What are the best brands of PEEK filaments available today? What is PEEK filament? One of the products of these efforts is PEEK filament. ![]() Since 3D printing came into fashion, manufacturers of 3D printing filaments have made a lot of efforts to make products that are just a little more resilient and sturdier. Depending on the filament, your 3D print can melt in extreme temperature, quickly deteriorate when exposed to UV radiation, or fail spectacularly upon sustained or sudden impact. Objects made from 3D printing are known for capturing the imagination and turning it into reality, but they aren’t exactly known to be durable. 3D Insider is ad supported and earns money from clicks, commissions from sales, and other ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() All of this feels like a loose amalgamation of cartoon parables mashed together into a Batman-shaped collage, but doesn’t have any of the thoughtfulness or curiosity that we usually get from these stories. But again, the episode doesn’t really do much with it. There’s a storyline here about peer pressure and standing up for yourself and standing up for what’s right. There’s also the poor schmuck that Scab is trying to haze that ends up being in way too deep. Unfortunately, she doesn’t get to do much other than give Batman some advice. She has a cool ship and an even cooler demeanor. She’s demonstrated to be a badass right away when we meet her, the coolest woman to appear in Batman Beyond thus far. If you’ve ever seen Malick in anything, her voice is absolutely unmistakable, and she ends up being the star of the show as a result. Meanwhile, Batman links up with the inventor of the craft, voiced by Wendie Malick. Meanwhile, the show never acknowledges that Terry is, similarly, a regular guy encased in technology–though the next episode does get into this. When things are falling apart at the end, he and Batman discuss whether or not the ship is just a crutch that he’s using as a substitute for real power. When he finds the jet, though, he looks to make the most of it as he tries to eliminate a rival gang.
