![]() Here’s what you need to know about your RushCard account closure: See below chart for just some of the GO2bank features we know you will love. To begin, we are making it easy for you to get started with GO2bank. We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. For instance, consumers may be better served by getting a secured credit card that reports to the three main credit bureaus over a pre-paid debit card.All RushCard Prepaid Visa ® Card Accounts will close on June 29, 2023Īs we evolve our product offering to deliver banking solutions that provide greater value and convenience to our customers, we have made the decision to discontinue our RushCard ® Prepaid Visa ® program. Still, when you total all the fees, they can be costly, especially when compared to some other alternatives available to consumers, even those with poor or no credit history. To its credit, the RushCard site has a list of all the fees it charges it does not hit you with hidden fees. ![]() You also pay a fee each time you use your card to make a purchase. There are fees for paying bills with your card. There are fees for getting a statement and for account maintenance. There are fees for using an ATM to withdraw cash and fees for simply making a balance inquiry. The fee structure for the two plans is different, but both plans have significant costs. There are two different RushCard plans to choose from, a monthly plan and a "pay as you go" plan. The biggest drawback to the RushCard is its costs. While you will be building a positive credit history, it will have a limited benefit it only helps you with the very small percentage of lenders who use LexisNexis and PRBC to make their credit-granting decisions. The RushCard Web site states, “When you enroll in our FREE RushPath to Credit and make recurring deposits and payments using your RushCard, your transaction information will be reported to participating consumer credit reporting agencies.” What this sentence does not make clear (but which is pointed out on the Web site) is that the "participating consumer credit reporting agencies" to which RushCard reports, LexisNexis and PRBC, are not the main three credit reporting agencies that most lenders use (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion), when determining whether or not to offer you credit. The RushCard presents itself as a way that a person can build his or her credit score. It may also be a good way for parents to control and track the spending of a college student. When you use your RushCard you never have to be concerned about running up debt, paying high interest, or being hit with charges for overdrawing your account. Your use of the card is restricted by the amount of money that you deposit onto the card. One advantage of the RushCard is that there are no costly overdraft or interest fees. Each time you make a purchase, that amount is automatically deducted from your RushCard balance. You can use it to shop, make ATM withdrawals, or make online purchases, or to pay bills. The RushCard is a Visa debit card, so it can be used anywhere that a Visa card is accepted. You can also make an in-person deposit at one of the more than 40,000 MoneyGram locations in the USA. You can add money to your card in a variety of ways, including direct deposit and using PayPal. ![]() You can only spend what you deposit you cannot run up any debt using your RushCard. Therefore, it is prudent to examine the pros and cons of the RushCard before a person decides to apply for one. The RushCard offers some features and conveniences that can help someone with no other credit options, but there are costs for using the card. It also is an alternative to check-cashing companies, for those without a bank account. It is primarily designed to benefit consumers that do not have access to a standard credit card or banking services. First issued in 2003, the RushCard was one of the first pre-paid debit cards. The RushCard is a prepaid Visa USA debit card that was developed by Russell Simmons, an American entrepreneur and founder of the Def Jam recording label.

![]() I think it's something that a lot of people will need to be doing in future." Sony made special libraries for us because we were the first ones hitting these sort of problems. And we did a lot of work - this is actually something I'm extremely proud of - to optimise our disc access pattern. "So we had to completely re-architect how we deal with data. "And if we would have put all the levels in, which we didn't, because then the disc image generator broke, it would have been around 290 gigs of data. "I think at some point the disc image that we were generating was around 180 gigs," said van der Leeuw. It soon became clear that this approach wouldn't work on PS4, and Van der Leeuw's team had to go back to the drawing board. (Digital Foundry clocked the Blu-ray at 41.5GB.) Unconcerned by file size, Guerrilla had duplicated textures for each level to make the game stream from disc more quickly, and included high-quality videos several times over in different languages. This conundrum is perfectly illustrated by the fact that Killzone 3 was actually bigger than Shadow Fall. The next-gen consoles present something of a push-pull challenge for developers: on the one hand, their powerful GPUs and large amounts of RAM can handle extremely high fidelity assets, but on the other, the push towards digital distribution has made consumers more sensitive to file sizes. "The surface area, I'm just guessing here, must be five to 10 times bigger than Killzone 3 was."īut he took pains to reassure me that the studio had worked hard to optimise the file size and get players into the game as quickly as possible. ![]() "I think we're probably a lot larger than the other cross-generation games, because we have no assets that have been made to a lower spec." He also pointed to the much larger, more open design of the game's levels compared to previous Killzone games. "The bulk of it is textures," Guerrilla's technical director Michiel van der Leeuw told me. ![]() It seems that the high quality art assets used by the PS4 are the main culprit. (Infinity Ward has now reduced that to 40GB.) With the new consoles moving towards digital delivery and servers struggling to distribute titles like GTA5, how would our poor internets and hard drives cope with all that data? And why is Killzone so big in the first place? There's been some consternation about the file size of next-gen games since Sony's UK boss told Eurogamer that Killzone was "cracking on for 50GB" and Nividia suggested that the PC version of Call of Duty: Ghosts required 50GB of hard drive space. Using Sony's PlayGo system, which allows a game to be played while it's still streaming data off the servers, Shadow Fall will be playable after a 7.5GB download. ![]() At an event at Guerrilla's Amsterdam offices this week, the developer confirmed that the final version of PlayStation 4 launch title Killzone Shadow Fall clocks in at 39.7GB (in Europe, anyway: some localised versions of the game, needing fewer audio tracks in different languages, are closer to 37GB). ![]() ![]() ![]() Otherwise you won't get them to 18 inches in size. Super important: stretch the balloons several times in all directions before inflating them. A 5-er pack of Party Dots sells for about $18. They look really nice, as you can see in the video below, but are rather expensive. Or you put them inside the balloons, like the regular LED lights. You can peel off the seal from their bottom and stick them to the outside of balloons (or any other dry surface). To illuminate a balloon bouquet or balloon column decorators often use a variation of these LED lights, the so-called Party Dots. Remove the light from the balloon after your party and replace the battery when you want to use the lights again.Ī package of 24 white or colored LED lights costs between $8 and $11. They are not only used for balloons, but also in paper lanterns, floral arrangements, and other settings.Ĭontrary to the LED balloon bundles, these decorative lights are reusable. They come in white, red, green, blue and purple colors, and last for 8+ hours. These are small, light-weight, battery operated LED lights that you turn on and then put inside your latex balloon. Watch the video below for a demonstration of how they work. The Lumi-Loons are a bit tricky to find (I assume that they aren't being produced any more).Īt the time of this writing (October 2020, updated August 2021), I could still find a few Lumi-Loons offers at Ebay. Difficult to blow up you either need a helium tank with the correct nozzle or an electrical inflator.You can choose between white balloons with different colors of LEDs, colored balloons with white lights, or a variety of patterns for different occasions. Contrary to the iLLooms, the LED unit sits at the mouth of the balloon, so they will float up right, and not sway sideways or upside down. If fully inflated, a helium filled Lumi-Loon will float and blink for about 8 hours. You can choose between three modes: always on, slow blink or fast blink. You activate the light by pushing a button through the balloon, either before or after inflation. The iLLoom review video below shows how to use the balloon lights and how they look when inflated with air or helium. Similar no-name LED balloon bundles received good reviews too, and are a lot cheaper. At the time of this review (October 2020, updated August 2021), I couldn't find any larger packs of iLLooms. The LEDs may need some squeezing or tapping to get them turned on.Ī mixed color party pack of 5 iLLooms sells for about $10 at Amazon.Easy to inflate with either air or helium. ![]() Once the battery is empty, you cannot reuse the LED balloon bundles. ![]() So, when you inflate them with helium, they won't float straight upside, as a regular balloon would do, but sway sideways. The packs come with a measuring band to help you blow them up to the correct size.īecause the battery / light bundle is attached to the inside of the balloon, opposite of its neck, the inflated balloon tends to orient with the mouth upwards. Be careful not to over-inflate them, or they may pop. You can inflate them either with air, using your mouth or a balloon pump, or with helium. You'll get the best effect if you use them at night or in a darkened room. Just be aware that these lights are small and therefor not very bright. The LED lights last for up to 15 hours, although some users say they glowed much longer. You activate the light by pulling on the paper tab that's protruding from the balloon's mouth. These balloons have the LED light attached inside, at the end opposite to the balloon neck. Now let's get into our led balloon lights reviews. Will they float when inflated with helium?.Can you blow the balloons up with your mouth, or do you need an electrical inflator?.When you consider getting balloon lights for your next party, you want to know the answers to these questions. We'll look into pros and cons for each type of balloon lights, how much they cost and where you can get them at a good price. A trendy example for the latter are the so-called BoBo balloons. On the other hand, you can purchase light-weight, battery operated LED lights separately, and put them into or around the latex balloons yourself. Popular brands for this type of illuminated balloons are Lumi-Loons and iLLooms. On one hand, you have the ready-made bundles, where the LED light is attached to the inside of the balloon. There are two basic types of LED balloons. ![]() ![]() ![]() We’ll be together for 10+ days and will need to rely on each other throughout. Nootka Sound has a large marine park that features Bligh Island and numerous small islands that make up the Spanish Pilot Group. We specialize in remote beach access and kayak transportation.

We were like let’s do that on the show to show that even when your doing well there still remains some growth that needs to happen. In fact, I did that joke for 10 years - I probably did that joke a thousand times at inumerable colleges. It’s just sort of like … anybody can laugh at that it’s not great, but anybody can laugh at that. Not even in a bad way, like an offensive way or a tone-deaf way, just sort of like, what would happen is when I did colleges I would sometimes do broader material because you’d end up doing colleges that were like the parents’ weekend or something.Īs a comedian you’re like, “How do I write a joke that the mom and the dad and the student are gonna like?” And that’s where you start getting jokes like my joke about peeing in the pool. In this season, Pete had to audition for the Comedy Cellar, and he had to do something really tricky, where he had to do well but he had to do well in the wrong way. Is there a memorable stand-up performance of yours that has taught you a major lesson about your own comedic style or how you direct the audience that found its way into this season of “Crashing” or a past episode? We opened it up to the room, and it’s sad but everyone had a story about a small aggression they’d witnessed or something larger like what Jason does. But we always look for the idea first and then we attach the message. It happened very organically - we did want to address what was going on, but we always wanted to do an episode about gender issues and sexuality issues. The initial idea was Pete and Jason and then we can should how women are treated differently in comedy clubs and then that idea continued to snowball into the worst ways. Jamie Lee brilliantly suggested what would make the stakes interesting is if they worked a weekend and not only is there tension between Pete and Ali because they used to date, but we can use that opportunity to show how things are different for women in comedy clubs. We wanted to get those two guys together. This being the third season, Judd thought it would be really funny if Pete and Jason were on the road together and in a situation where they’re stuck together because Pete is trying to be of the moment and Jason is - I like to call him a dinosaur, not without talent, but he refuses to evolve. We knew we wanted to address what was going on, but we didn’t necessarily know how. I’m glad you asked that, because it gives a little glimpse into how organic and freeform the process can be. And then at some point someone writes something down and maybe eventually someone breaks off and writes a script or an outline to show Judd.Ĭonsidering names like Louis C.K and Aziz Ansari that have fallen, how do you approach the two worlds of comedy colliding? Like we were just sort of hanging out and talking and wasting time and eating. And we just sort of open it up to the room … and really if anyone watched it, would look like we weren’t working at all. The process is just what you might imagine we talk about - let’s say we’re talking about college shows or corporate shows or relationships. I start running out of literal things that were interesting that happened to me and start branching out to the other writers in the room. And season one, I might have put more like 80 percent, but every season we go down a little bit because we broaden it to the room. It’s always real to somebody in the writers room it might be Judd … or Jamie Lee - it happened to somebody for the most part. What was your process for creating “Crashing”?

For example, we are experts at residual stress measurements and fatigue analysis accounting for residual stress effects. At Hill Engineering we work with residual stress on a daily basis. There are, of course, much more in-depth technical explanations that we can share with you as well. That’s a simple answer to the question of what is residual stress. But as we push for higher performing structures that operate closer to the cutting-edge of technology, factors like residual stress can be the difference between successful performance and structural failure. Often structures are designed with considerable safety factors and the effects of residual stresses can be ignored. For example, if the residual stresses are large the material will not be able to sustain as much applied stress.Īs engineers we care about residual stresses because they affect material performance. The applied and residual stresses combine together to determine the ultimate strength or performance of the material. Applied stresses arise when you pick up something heavy. Going back to our human body example, residual stress is the tightness that you feel in your shoulders while standing or sitting. We refer to these internal stresses as residual stresses because they exist within the material itself.Īpplied stresses develop when the material is loaded by outside forces. Just like with our bodies where we sometimes have tightness in our muscles, there are regions in materials that are under stress as they are pulled or pushed by the surrounding material. These stresses form when a part is plastically deformed by mechanical, thermal, chemical or a combination of these forces. Scan vector length, scan rotation angle, scan pattern, scan vector orientation and hatch distance are the major parameters involved in scanning. Residual stresses are those stresses that exist when all external loads/forces are removed. What is residual stress? In a very basic, non-technical sense residual stress is stress that is locked in a material during manufacturing. Scan strategy is an important parameter that can reduce residual stress as it is directly related to the formation of temperature gradient during the process. At Hill Engineering we love to talk about our work and we have a lot to share about residual stress. Many of our customers, friends, colleagues, and family members like to ask us questions about residual stress including: What is residual stress? How do you measure it? How does residual stress affect material performance? If you have questions about these topics, you’ve come to the right place. Residual stresses are indirectly calculated by measuring the existing material strains, which are generally measured by mechanical or x-ray methods.What is residual stress? That’s a very common question when you work at Hill Engineering. Residual stresses often remain in engineering components as a result of manufacturing processes such as welding and forging. In general, as explained by (Lu, 1996) there are three principal kinds of residual stresses. ![]() Shot peening typically uses a metal or glass material, while laser peening uses high-intensity beams of light to induce a shock wave that propagates deep into the material. Residual stresses form a self-equilibrating system, where resultant forces and moments are zero. Mechanical methods include shot peening and laser peening. Heated parts is known as stress relief bake, and cooled parts is known as cryogenic stress relief. The thermal method involves uniformly changing the temperature of the entire part through heating or cooling. All methods involve processing the part so the whole stress is relieved. When undesired residual stress from prior metalworking operations is present, the amount of stress may be reduced through the use of several methods classified as thermal or mechanical (nonthermal) methods. Structural changes (or phase transformation).Temperature gradients during the thermal cycle.Residual stresses occur through a number of mechanisms, such as: Thus, when designing mechanical parts, the role of residual stress is very important. There are few metalworking methods that do not produce new stresses. Manufacturing processes are the most common causes of residual stress, which influences materials, as follows: For metal components, residual stress is often inevitably introduced into their surface layer during forming, machining and heat treatment 13. Residual stresses can result in visible component distortion. Residual stress is engineered into construction structures such as pre-stressed concrete bridge beams to improve their strength and toughness 5. For example, laser peening imparts deep beneficial compressive residual stresses into metal components, but in a designed structure, unintended residual stress may cause premature failure. ![]() ![]() Residual stress may be desirable or undesirable. Residual stresses remain in a solid material after removal of the original cause of stress. ![]() ![]() Lawful permanent residents and conditional residents may be issued temporary I-551 documents These documents are acceptable for Form I-9 as follows: If an employee presents a Form I-551, you should know that Forms I-551 may contain no expiration date, a 10-year expiration date, or a two-year expiration date Cards that expire in 10 years or not at all are issued to lawful permanent residents with no conditions on their status Cards that expire in two years are issued to lawful permanent residents with conditions on their status Conditional residents can lose their status if they fail to remove these conditions Permanent Resident Cards with either an expiration date or no expiration date are List A documents that should not be reverified.
