![]() Step 9: Cut a small piece of colored paper so that it is the approximate size of the name and flap. You should have the front side with a name cut out and a back side with a slit around the bottom that creates a flap. Step 8: Once all of your pieces are cut (YAY!), weed out the negative space. ![]() Load the mat and press the cut button when ready. Step 7: Cut the leather down to 11 inches on one side (see tips above) and place right side down on your mat so that there’s space on the left and right for the wheels to move without going over the leather. From the cut screen, choose “Metallic Leather” and load the deep cut blade into your machine. Step 6: Set your Cricut to “custom” with the dial. Step 5: Click “Make It” and select the “Mirror” option. ![]() Step 4: Then right click and “weld” the two pieces from the back side of the tag. Select both the front side of the tag and the name, right click and select “attach.” This will ensure the name is cut from the tag. ![]() Place the font on top of the front side of the luggage tag how you want it to cut. Step 3: Adjust the luggage tag size to about 3 1/2 inches long. Choose your desired font, then adjust the letter spacing as desired (such as touching for cursive fonts). Step 2: Add text with the name you want on the tag. Ungroup the front and back from each other. Step 1: Upload the luggage tag template to the Cricut Design Center. Cricut Explore Air or Cricut Maker (or similar).Free leather luggage tag template for Cricut or Silhouette (via Google Drive).Use a Strong Cricut Mat to ensure maximum stickiness.Instead, try using thicker fonts or block letters that will be easier to cut without the leather slipping on the mat Avoid overly intricate detailing if you can because leather is so thick.Use the Custom Settings to choose the metallic leather option for cutting.Place the leather right side down (metallic side down) and then invert designs for cutting.Always use a deep cut blade for cutting leather.This ensures that the rollers from the machine don’t interfere with the leather and the machine can make precise cuts (I had some issues with the leather moving because of the rollers) Cut the 12×12-inch leather down to 11 inches on one side before loading it onto a mat.Use Circut-branded leather materials for best results because the Design Center settings assume you’re using the branded materials and therefore produce the best results.Tips for Cutting Leather Luggage Tags with Cricut: Luckily, I do this so that you guys don’t have to! At first, I made these leather luggage tags with a loop made from the same thick metallic leather as the tags and found that while it was pretty, it wasn’t as easy to attach to a suitcase as I wanted, so I switched so a suede string instead. It took me a little trial and error to get the best results, and I made a few of these personalized luggage tags before I found what worked best for me. Scroll down for the free download/free cut file and DIY tutorial! □□įirst, let’s talk about how to cut leather with Cricut. When all plain black suitcases start to look the same, it’s great to have a personalized luggage tag like this to set yours apart on the luggage carousel!

I included a free downloadable cut file for making personalized luggage tags with your own name in any font once you upload it to the Cricut Design Center. We made it home from our trip to Dallas last night, and I wanted to share this DIY no-sew personalized luggage tag I made for my suitcase!

![]() If you end up requiring more space read: How to free up space on Mac. Make space: We’d recommend at least 15GB of available space because the macOS betas tend to be very large. Update your software: We recommend you have the latest full version of macOS installed, although Apple says that the macOS Developer Beta Access Utility requires macOS 10.8 or later. If the stability of the beta worries you then you are probably better off waiting until the final version is out, or at least waiting until testing has been happening for a few months before getting the beta. We discuss the safety of the macOS beta and the risks you might be taking in more detail in a separate article. Alternatively, you could install the macOS beta on an external drive and run it on that.Read about how to do that here: How to dual-boot Mac: Run two versions of macOS on a Mac. We recommend installing it on a partition – which these days is really a volume (and is much easier to create than a partition was). ![]() If you don’t have a second Mac there are a couple of ways you could run macOS beta on your Mac without running the risk of losing data or finding your Mac stops working: We strongly recommend that you don’t risk all by putting the macOS beta on your primary macOS, especially not in the early days of the beta development. ![]() If you have a second Mac that isn’t mission-critical then install it there. Therefore it’s not advised that you install it on a Mac that you rely on. Click on Upgrade Now.īy its nature, a beta has the potential to be unstable. Now your Mac will Check for updates and eventually show the Sonoma Developer Beta as an upgrade.If your developer account is tied to a different Apple ID to your usual one you can change that here.You can now turn on Beta Updates (if they weren’t already on).You should see two options: Automatic Updates and Beta Updates.(System Settings > General > Software Updates.) If you are running macOS Ventura 13.4 or later: We recommend that you do not run Sonoma on your primary Mac ideally, you run it in a separate volume.We also strongly recommend that you back up your Mac before you upgrade to the Sonoma beta.We strongly advise that if you aren’t a developer you don’t download the developer beta.Now the Public Beta becomes available it will also show up on your Mac in macOS Ventura 13.4, as long as you have signed up for the Public Beta program on Apple’s beta webpage, signed the NDA, and enrolled your Mac. Because of this developers may get to test new features not available in the public beta. ![]() The most significant difference is probably the motive of the testers: Developers usually have the aim of ensuring their apps work when the updated macOS is released to the general public, while public beta testers are essentially helping Apple detect bugs and offering feedback on the features. But you should keep in mind that betas are by nature not stable, and because the public beta comes after the developer beta it could be a little safer to install. The public beta is not the same as the beta that is released through the developer program.ĭevelopers get updates to their beta first, and possibly more frequently. There are a few differences between the public and developer betas. Instead, our recommendation was to wait for the public beta, which is here now. We don’t recommend you install the developer beta if you aren’t a developer. Let's dive in.Whether you should download the developer beta if you aren’t a developer is another question. You probably don't need to run out and install it, but there's no real reason to avoid it if you're not aware of some specific bug or compatibility problem that affects the software you use. So macOS Sonoma is a perfectly typical macOS release, a sort of " Ventura-plus" that probably has one or two additions that any given person will find useful but which otherwise just keeps your Mac secure and avoids weird iCloud compatibility problems with whatever software is running on your phone. Honestly, these days, what macOS update hasn't been "low-key"? Every one since Big Sur (11.0) overhauled the UI and added Apple Silicon support has been content to add a few pieces on top of the foundation, fiddle a bit with under-the-hood enhancements and new security measures, maintain feature parity with iOS for the built-in apps, and call it a day. Further Reading macOS 13 Ventura: The Ars Technica reviewīut looking back, I've said something along those lines for each of the last few macOS releases (and several others before that). ![]() In 1995 he posed in campaigns for brands like Tommy Hilfiger and coincided in fashion shows and parties with Mark Ronson, then also a model. “He’s not a model, he’s just here with me.” The next scene is another cliché: Simon Rex flies to Milan. The dialogue is so commonplace as to be cliché: “Who is he?”. Accompanying his childhood sweetheart to a model casting, an agency director noticed him. With the exception of porn, Simon Rex’s biography resembles that of many other photogenic young people in the right place at the right time. ![]() Red Rocket, which opens in Spain in May, has brought Rex - who at the height of his fame was a pretty face, in his decline a joke and during the last few years a pariah - some of the best reviews of the year, the award for best actor at the Independent Spirit Awards and, incidentally, a reconciliation with the murkiest part of his past. That Rex is talking again about the subject he avoided for years, as if it were an exorcism, is because he plays a porn actor in Red Rocket, the new film by Sean Baker, who in Tangerine (2015) or The Florida Project (2017) portrayed the dreams and hopes of the lumpen who survive behind the neon lights of Las Vegas or Disneyland. Rex thus became the epitome of the star born at the dawn of a new era, who has a hidden past that catches him by surprise: a new era in which nothing that has ever been recorded, written or said can be forgotten. ![]() That resulted in four tapes with not exactly cryptic titles ( Young, Hard and Alone, for example, or Hot Sessions I, II and III) which, when Rex became a celebrity in the United States, were re-released a few years later and saw the light of day thanks to the internet. Desperate to stay afloat, he answered an ad in a Los Angeles newspaper seeking models to pose nude. It started in 1993, when he was 19 years old and cleaning tables. Actor Simon Rex, 47, may be the last person in the history of Hollywood who believed he could shoot four porn movies, find fame and live in a world where this past wouldn’t come out. ![]() Our fashionable key chain wallets are the perfect accessory for your keys and wallet.

STEM Health Care, which includes the other 335,000 jobs, will be covered in a future article. Those industries accounted for just under 40 percent of STEM employment in Minnesota (210,000 jobs). This article will focus primarily on the STEM Core Component industries identified by the Workforce Information Council. After reviewing the national average concentrations of STEM jobs across all industry sectors, the Workforce Information Council selected only those industry sectors with a concentration level of 2.5 times the national average, categorizing 33 industry subsectors in the STEM Core Component and 13 in Health Care.Īccording to data from DEED's Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), Minnesota had about 545,000 jobs in STEM industries through 2013, accounting for about one in five jobs statewide. This article uses the Workforce Information Council report "Exploring the High-Tech Industry" 1 to identify STEM industries and occupations. In addition, the skills typically associated with STEM, including scientific reasoning, engineering knowledge and mathematical competency, are not exclusive to STEM jobs, although STEM occupations and industries make greater use of these skills than others. Unfortunately, many definitions of STEM are muddy - including and excluding different industries and occupations - and the STEM landscape is constantly evolving as new technologies emerge. Because of their appeal, STEM jobs have drawn the attention of policymakers and educators, who have encouraged students and job seekers to consider those disciplines for their careers. One field that has been emerging in recent years is STEM, which stands for science, technology, engineering and math. ![]() Minnesota is poised for growth, thanks to a diverse economy that supports a wide variety of industries and occupations. ![]() STEM jobs are growing faster than jobs overall in Minnesota and offer salaries that are much higher than the average for all industries in the state. ![]() The Tolerance Compensation feature has been improved: the Bottom Tolerance Compensation feature now covers the transition layers This helps CHITUBOX, other programs, and your system work more smoothly We have reduced the physical memory usage of CHITUBOX when it launches or is idle without any model imported.

With just a few clicks, you can compare your available options, identify the best option based on your needs, and run the necessary action to complete the process. As you can see, with the simple installation process, this utility is very useful for Mac OS X users who need to make frequent changes to their active gpu or discrete card. This is especially helpful if you've just installed a new integrated graphics card or dual core processor.

Also, in the discrete mode, the application can display up to 16 active monitors, whereas in the integrated-only mode only the monitor list is displayed. The main difference between the two is that, in integrated-only mode, the status only lists the name of the card, while in desktop mode, it displays the manufacturer, model, card type, RAM, and frequencies. ![]() You can select from multiple options on the software menu to display the different cards that are running, such as integrated-only mode, desktop mode, or discrete mode. The setup is quite simple: just download the gfxcardstatus, install it and then let it run to identify which graphics card is running.

Most injuries and deaths result in blood spray, splatter effects, walls and floors stained with the red streaks. While players use pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, and grenades to kill enemies, stealth combat represents the largest component of gameplay: sneaking up on enemies and breaking their necks, throwing them out of windows, slamming their heads into objects (e.g., mirror, furniture, doors), etc. Players track down and interrogate suspects, complete various espionage missions, engage in frenetic gun fights, and perform stealth moves against enemies. This is an action game/third-person shooter in which players assume the role of Sam Fisher, a former secret agent who has returned to Washington DC to seek the truth behind his daughter's death. |
