You can opt to pay more and you’re payments will be smaller. To begin, you will need a minimum deposit of $150. Depending on when you sign up and how far away your trip is, they’ll set up a payment plan so your trip is paid off 30-60 days before takeoff. So I’ve convinced you and now you want to go on a trip! So how you gonna do it? Well the reason I decided on using EF Ultimate Break was because they offer payment plans. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to travel with! Let’s Talk Finances I know, I sent my tour guide a lot of questions because I was so nervous and she was so good at getting back to me! Thank you Serai! They communicate with you well before you go on the trip and will answer any and all your questions. Tours, tours, and tours! First of all, you’ll get an AMAZING tour guide! They literally love their job and will go above and beyond for you. Just the fact that I lost mine and had to replace it…. And you get a metro pass in each city to be able to get around yourself! Some have limits, but your tour guide will explain all that, and honestly, we didn’t have an issue with it running out. Transportation is also included if you sign up for the extra excursions. We flew from Lisbon to Madrid and took a train from Madrid to Barcelona. They also include transportation if you are traveling to more than one city/country. Like I mentioned earlier, transportation is included to and from the airport (that you’re visiting – not in the States). I’m sure they change it up depending on time of travel, availability, and size of group! And if you go on this specific trip, it’s not guaranteed that you’ll stay at THESE hostels. They did get better/nicer as the trip progressed. Here are the hostels we stayed at: Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona. Our tour guide let us pick our roommates, which was great! So although you do stay in hostels, you will NOT have a random stranger staying in a room with you. The rooms are by gender (boys with boys, girls with girls) and only people on this trip will stay in your room. ![]() In all honesty though, you fall in love with your fellow travelers that you WANT to room with them. All the options except for the last one are an additional fee. You can choose to have a private room, a shared room with a friend or partner, or share a room with 4-6 fellow travelers. We didn’t stay at the nicest hostels and the breakfast typically included some bread and cheese with fruit, but it was all part of the deal. Our tour guide met us at the airport and took us to our hostel and at the end of the trip, she payed for our transportation from the hostel to the airport.Īccommodations and breakfast. We flew Delta and I had a great experience. Our trip included a personal item, carry on, and a checked bag. They book your flight from your airport of choice. You literally just need to fall within the age range and live in the States. Note, you do NOT need to be in college to qualify for these trips. Yup, we were all just a group of crazy kids who wanted to travel and were gonna do it with or without anyone. Everyone else signed up as a SOLO TRAVELER. ![]() This travel style is for literally anyone! Out of 20 of us, there was a pair of sisters and a pair of cousins. Comment below or email me for more information! With that being said, there is other options for people outside this age range. ![]() With all the walking and go-go-go attitude of the trip, I don’t think I could have kept up had I been 5 years older. I didn’t understand this until I actually went on the trip. They do this to maintain an atmosphere and pace. You just pick a place and dates and they take care of the rest! Who Is It For?ĮF Ultimate Break is for anyone between the age of 18 – 29. As you know by now, I took the trip and it was the best decision of my life! Here’s a break down of this not so sketchy company, EF Ultimate Break: What Is It?ĮF Ultimate Break is a travel group company that literally sets everything up for you. ![]() ![]() ![]() To do this you need the Inmate's ID Number and the Facility Locator Number for Multnomah County.įor all the information you need regarding making an inmate deposit, what it costs, how much you can send, how long it takes for your inmate to receive funds and more, and to get the Facility Locator Number, check out our Send Money Page. ![]()
![]() So to achieve a goal of $8 billion, Take-Two would need to make significant acquisitions, or release nearly double the amount of games it historically has, or release at least one absolute behemoth of a game. ![]() Prior to this, Take-Two's regular annual net bookings were looking roughly in $3 billion ballpark and steadily rising - it took the acquisition of a major mobile developer to see them leap over $1 billion in the space of a single year. Notably, this record was reached thanks to the contributions of Zynga, which it acquired last year. ![]() For one, Take-Two's net bookings this past fiscal year reached $5.3 billion - a record annual high. While Take-Two doesn't explicitly name Grand Theft Auto here, it's hard to imagine any other franchise doing this work for them. We expect to sustain this momentum by delivering even higher levels of operating results in Fiscal 2026 and beyond. ![]() In Fiscal 2025, we expect to enter this new era by launching several groundbreaking titles that we believe will set new standards in our industry and enable us to achieve over $8 billion in Net Bookings and over $1 billion in Adjusted Unrestricted Operating Cash Flow. "For the last several years, we have been preparing our business to release an incredibly robust pipeline of projects that we believe will take our company to even greater levels of success. Looking ahead, Fiscal 2025 is a highly anticipated year for our Company," the release states. ![]() ![]() In the year 2013, the company had spun off its retail operations under a new company known as CST Brands. Then in the year 2011, the company had taken over Chevron Corporation for about $730 million. The company also started to absorb losses of $1 million per day since the beginning of 2009. As of the year 2009, the company had sacked nearly 500 employees at its refinery located in Delaware, USA. This was followed by the acquisition of almost 72 Albertsons gas stations in the year 2008. In the year 2005, the company had agreed to buy Premcor Incorporated for about $8 billion. Starting in the year 2002, the company began to expand in the eastern part of the USA, mainly in the north-eastern region along with Florida, USA. The company had received the ownership of Shamrock Logistics LP, and it was renamed to Valero LP in the year 2006. The same year, the company had also taken over Ultramar Diamond Shamrock. Then in the year 2001, the company had acquired Huntway Refining Company, along with its two asphalt plants as well. The company had also started retailing gasoline as well, under its name. ![]() In the year 2000, the company had taken over the refinery of Exxon Mobil, located in California. The following year, the company had purchased an oil refinery at New Jersey, USA. The company had also taken over Basis Petroleum in the same year as well. Then in the year 1997, the company had spun-off its retail as well as refinery divisions into separate companies. The first refinery of the company was acquired in the year 1984. The company had taken over the operations of LoVaca Gathering Company. ![]() The company was the most substantial spin-off in corporate history. The company had taken over the natural gas operations of the Coastal States Gas Corporation. ![]() The company was created as a spin-off of the Coastal States Gas Corporation. The company has been operational for almost 39 years now. ![]() ![]() ![]() Machine wash the seat pad separately in cold water, delicate cycle.

![]() ![]() As the years have gone on, Japanese manufacturers have been doing this more and more. It’s exactly why B&H Photo has a specific department dedicated to Brazil.įor the record, Nikon’s lack of answering tough questions isn’t uncommon. So why does Nikon not have an official presence in South America? Well, it’s often very difficult to import products there. In a situation like this, Nikon Peru is a distributor and should’ve reported to Nikon in some way or another. It makes it a very difficult process to get things done - especially when talking to the press. The way that Japanese camera companies work often requires them to have their subsidiaries report back to them, ask for permission on things, etc. They are not listed as a Group Company on either Nikon’s website or in PDF files. And if you search Nikon’s website, it states that Nikon Peru is part of their larger global network. The only thing that we were able to get was “…there is no Nikon Peru, there is only individual retailers and distributors in the Latin America market.” We did some research to verify this. However, they’d be approved by Japan.Īfter giving them a week to fully answer, Nikon USA wouldn’t provide answers to our questions on the record. As a journalist, I know that the actions of Nikon Peru wouldn’t necessarily come from America. This is important to note, as the actions of one division can affect an entire company, and it did with Canon’s sexism issues previously. Immediately, anyone that didn’t know any better would paint a blanket across all of Nikon. The Nikon Anti-AI Campaign apparently came from Nikon Peru. On top of all this, consider problems around their products like the D600 and the class action lawsuits over the cameras. Before then, they made a questionable decision about a photo choice being manipulated by Photoshop. ![]() Back in 2017, they took center stage for sexism when they didn’t choose a single woman to promote their products. This isn’t the only time that Nikon has made questionable decisions. ![]() It’s a camera that should’ve come out a long time ago. More importantly, the company has released the new Nikon z8 to aid these photographers. Nikon is a company that works to support professional photographers, and by not paying or compensating photographers for the work provided, they’ve undercut the people they’ve worked to support the most. The Problems with The Nikon Anti-AI Campaign Several have told us over the years all the different ways that being featured on our site has helped them. While some photographers say that exposure helps, none of the photographers interviewed reported an uptick in their statistics, their followers, or their downloads, which makes for another interesting observation does anybody care about the person behind the photo? Or do they think the camera does it all by itself? Further, campaigns like this have been known to not have credible statistical payoffs - which is a major contrast to the interviews that we’ve done here on the site with photographers. Of course, the fact that they had no notice at all should give you an idea of whether they received compensation or not. One of the authors, John Fowler, didn’t even know about it until we messaged him. None of the photographers who wrote back to us had the smallest inkling beforehand that their photos were used in such a viral campaign, and the ones who found out about it found out through social media. The answers we managed to get, while not surprising in the least, were more than a bit disappointing. Did they get any notice from either Nikon or Grey Peru? Did they get any compensation? Did they notice any effect on downloads, sales, or following? We managed to get in touch with the photographers showcased in this Nikon AI campaign, and we asked them the following questions. ![]() ![]() I had the idea of putting a mosfet (should be a nfet, normaly closed one as far as I understood?!) on the ground, and a diode connected to each cell, letting the power flow only in one direction, so that the cells would not be "connected" unless the mosfer is powered by the arduino (I guess connecting it to a digital "high or low" pin would be ok?). Hey, thanks a lot for your detailed and quick answer! I really appreciate it!Īnd I am sorry for the late response, I had problems understanding what you wrote, due to my lack of knowledge about mosfets. So you can't sample faster than 1000 Hz per channel or you'll start transferring enough charge from channel to channel to screw the measurements up. You want full 10 bit accuracy so you want about 1000x higher sampling input equivalent "resistance" than this, so you need 100Meg equivalent sampling input resistance. So let's say each voltage divider is made with a 100k and a 1Meg resistor, so about 100k output impedance. Where Csamp is the internal ADC sampling cap, usually 5-10pF, and f is the sampling frequency per channel. But if you sample faster than a certain number of measurements per second, you'll still get errors due to the divider impedance.īasically the ADC acts kinda like a resistor connecting each cell channel input to the next, with a current transferred from each input to the next that acts sort of like a resistor with value: You can put a ~10nF cap on each pin to ground to make the Arduino insensitive to the divider impedance. More than about 10k, and you will start to see issues with the sampling capacitor of the ADC not charging. But you need to be careful about maintaining a low enough output impedance of each divider to drive the Arduino ADC. Big resistors obviously also help regardless of whether you switch them. That means that for a 5 cell system with 4.2V max, you need to divide each voltage by at least 6:1. So perhaps 3.5V is the right choice, nice round number that's smaller than 3.8V. So if you get a FET with Vth specified as being between 0.4 and 1.2V, say, then you need all the Ax values to end up below (5V - 1.2V) = 3.8V. You need each Ax pin to end up below Vcc (or whatever the GPIO output high voltage is) by more than the threshold voltage of the FET. If they're too high, then the FETs aren't actually turned on, because they're only turned on by the difference between the GPIO voltage and the measured divider voltage. This works ONLY IF the measured voltages at the Ax pins are expected to be low enough. When low, all the FETs are off and no current is drawn. When this GPIO is high, you get the divided output. All the NFET gates then get tied together and sent to a GPIO. So for instance for channel A4 you would disconnect R2 from pin A4, and then connect the NFET source to A4 and the drain to R2. ![]() Another way, slightly more "clever" but also with drawbacks, is to put a single "logic level" NFET between each ADC pin and each high side resistor. Then you use an open collector driver (which can be just an NFET) with a resistor on the output to pull down each PFET gate when you want to measure. You put a PFET with source connected to each cell positive, and a source-to-gate resistor in parallel with a ~8V zener diode. ![]() One way is to apply a high side switch to each divider. (to be clear none of these are "good" in terms of being a professional/production solution) Sure there are a couple of solutions here. Thanks a lot for reading, I am sorry, if i have fogotten something essentialĮDIT: I hope this is the right sub, sorry if not! I just now could not find a alternative online, that does not use a voltage divider.Īs far as I understand, the voltage devider was crappy calculated, with a much so low resistance, so the cells got sort of shorted out, or the resistance of the voltage divider added to the internal resistance, so that the cells discharged just though the voltage devider. Is there a clever way to read out the individual voltages of the cells, without discharging the cells? Or is it working in theory, but the resistors were calculated poorly? How ever, I just wanted to continue the project, but the first two cells were discharged to about 1.5 or 1 V, so beyond recharge. It worked, but I broke the display, so I had to wait for a new one to arrive and I did not take out the cells. I had help of a friend, who studies something electronic related and he gave me the hint to use a voltage divider, to pull down the voltage enough for the arduino to handle (I calculated it with about 4.5V, and adjusted the values in the code, to match the measured voltage). I checked the voltage of the individual cells after letting it rest for a while, and the voltages seemed to be fine. ![]() I started a Li-Ion 18650 battery-project for a diy-bluetooth speaker this summer, but only reacently got around to continue working on it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Bus: Uber-Bus Requirements (Minimum age to drive "Uber Bus" must be 22 years of age, pass a background check and undergo a 3 week training program).Car: Uber Car Requirements (Minimum age to drive "Uber Car" must be 21 years of age, have a 2000 or newer vehicle-maybe even 2006 or newer in some cities, and be able to pass a background check).WHAT TYPE OF VEHICLES ALLOWED TO DRIVE FOR UBER: The have a special type of insurance design for ridesharing.
