Big companies like Roland, Graphtec, GCC and US Cutter are all supported by Sure Cuts a Lot, as well as dozens of smaller or niche manufacturers. The really impressive feature about SCAL is just the sheer number of cutters the software supports. As a design platform, it’s about as sophisticated as Silhouette Studio in terms of tool availability and learning curve. It is Mac compatible and even free to try before you buy. Sure Cuts a Lot (SCAL) is widely used design and cutting software that works with just about every craft cutter and commercial machine. Mac Compatibility via Sure Cuts a Lot Sure Cuts a Lot: highly adaptive for many vinyl cutters The plugin has different versions to accommodate different versions of MacOS and older versions of Illustrator. ![]() There’s also a plugin for Adobe Illustrator that you can use to operate your Graphtec cutting machine (Cutting Master 4). Overall, it’s uncomplicated and lets you modify your design before cutting or create basic designs from scratch. You can only save your original designs in the proprietary Graphtec Studio format (.gstudio) or PDF. It’s not Illustrator, but you can import vectors in EPS and DXF format, as well as PNG bitmaps. object modification (weld, divide, subtract etc)Įxample of project in Graphtec Studio for Mac.Graphtec studio for Mac is basic design software with tools like: Mac users can install Graphtec Studio, the standalone design and cut software to operate their cutter. These high-end machines are incredibly fast and accurate, and are designed for precise contour cutting on preprinted materials. Graphtec – Graphtec is our top choice for commercial vinyl cutting, no matter what platform you are using. There are three software options for Mac users when selecting a larger, commercial vinyl cutter: If you want to expand your crafting into a home business, the Cameo Pro may be a great option. It isn’t the same kind of speedy workhorse that a Graphtec cutter is. Honorable mention goes to the Silhouette Cameo Pro, which at 24″ wide is a reasonable entry into both craft cutting and small business arenas. But if you are looking to cut large quantities of vinyl in a hurry, these are the machines for you. There aren’t dual tool carriages or a wide range of tools for cutting fabric or thick material. They don’t offer some of the features that craft cutters do. If you are looking for a commercial cutter, there are lots of great options from 15″ all the way up to 72″ wide. If you are working on multiple Apple devices, you can connect to your Cricut via Bluetooth or USB. If I get stuck on something, all of the tutorials are based on the same software.Īnother point for Cricut and Design Space is that is works on MacOS machines, iPhones and iPads. The tools they provide actually work, and there’s just one version of the program. Personally, I like Design Space because it’s really clean and uncomplicated. The results are great and you don’t have to spend time and costly materials on trial and error. Design Space determines the blade depth, cut pressure and cutting speed for you. The big selling point for Cricut Design Space is that it coordinates every possible tool and every possible material. If you are used to using more advanced design software like Adobe Illustrator, you can easily import finished vector images (in SVG format) into Design Space and complete your projects on the Cricut. Design Space has its detractors, mostly based on how rudimentary the design tools are. ![]()

![]() If you think back to what it was like to communicate with someone across the world just ten years ago, and now I chat with someone in China. It's definitely distancing us from each other but it's also bringing us together. Do you think that electronic gadgets are just distancing kids, teens and even adults from each other or is it just a phase we're going through? ![]() Kidzworld: Tron: Legacy is full of electronic gadgets and imagery. We're all nerds in this movie so we did well together. I was bringing in all these elements that, thank goodness, our creative team was so receptive to. I think nerd would be a better term because geek implies that I have some sort of expertise in the technological or gaming world and I'm completely naive about technology and gaming but I'm a total nerd because, coming into a project like Tron, you could have focused on the cool cars … I was thinking, “Oh, Quorra is Joan of Arc or she's an ancient Buddhist/Korean warrior. Kidzworld: Do you consider yourself a geek or sci-fi geek? It would have been quite easy to make her just the character. I was grateful I was able to make her like that. So I think that Quorra will hopefully be that for young women. Who now do kids have to dress up as for Halloween who stands for social justice and truth? They dress up as princesses, which can be boring. When I was little it was Wonder Woman and she stood for social justice and truth. I think young women will hopefully, look up to her and have her as a role model in a time when I think there is a lack of sci-fi female role models for kids. ![]() Kidzworld: Would you go as far as to say that she’s a role model for girls? She's enthusiastic and quirky and awkward in an enjoyable way and she's really smart. She is unique in her child-like innocence. She's not there to serve the men as eye candy which can happen all too often in Sci Fi films. I think girls will empathize with Quorra because she is not just a vixen. is very interesting and futuristic in its fashion and also in the design of the film from the streets of the Grid to the lines of the suits and hair.

That was really a lot of fingerprinting, and I asked the Somali man if he found that to be excessive.īut he replied to the effect, “Compared with life, this is no big deal.” The police took prints of all his 10 fingertips twice, and then took prints of the entire fingers on both hands-not just the fingertips-once. Recognition of refugee status is a life-and-death issue for applicants.Īfter covering the refugee issue on the island of Lampedusa, I went to Rome to interview police authorities.Īt a police station, a refugee from Somalia was being fingerprinted. It would be unconscionable if cases that should have been approved got rejected due to oversight. I fear this person ’s statement could be used some day as grounds for justifying deportation of those who did not meet all the “requirements” on paper.Īnd with regards to the six cases, did the counselor mean that only these six cases passed the examination, or that officials could find no more than six cases worth examining out of 2,000? One counselor has stated, “Out of a total of 2,000 cases we examined, there were only six where we were able to determine with confidence that the applicants should be granted refugee status.” In the screening of applications, refugee examination counselors, of whom there are 111, wield considerable influence. ![]() I wonder if this system is anywhere close to meeting the international standard of “when in doubt, rule in favor of the applicant.” ![]() ![]() The new system enables the government to deport applicants while their requests are still being processed.

I just hope all applicants will be granted asylum, except in cases that leave absolutely no doubt that they were fraudulent.” One major headache for front-line rescue personnel was Italy ’s vexingly complicated application procedure for refugee status.Īt the time, Italy had just enacted a law to toughen its immigration policy, and everyone was still struggling with the confusion brought about by the new legislation.īut one senior official said: “Be it poverty or political oppression, each refugee has their own reason for fleeing their country. One rescue official, referring to their plight, explained that no new arrivals are asked if they were asylum seekers or economically motivated migrants. Two decades ago, at the height of a growing refugee crisis, I visited the small Mediterranean island of Lampedusa in southern Italy to report on the boatloads of migrants and asylum seekers from North Africa washing ashore there.Įvery local rescue authority official I interviewed was uniformly sympathetic to the arrivals who had risked their lives crossing the sea. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jailbreak an iPhone 3G or iTouch 2G 4.0 / 4.0.1 Jailbreak an iOS 4.1 iPhone 4, iPod Touch or iPad with limera1n Untether a tethered jailbroken iPhone 4, iPod Touch or iPad Jailbreak an iPhone or iPod Touch running iOS 4 Jailbreak your iOS 5 beta iPhone iPod Touch or iPad with Redsn0w Jailbreak a 4.2.1 firmware iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad with Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 Jailbreak an iOS 4.2.1 or 4.2 iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch with Redsn0w 0.9.6b4īoot a tethered iOS 4.2.1 iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad with Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 Use Redsn0w 0.9.6b4 to jailbreak an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1/4.2) 59% off the XSplit VCam video background editor.Get a lifetime subscription to VPN Unlimited for all your devices with a one-time purchase from the new Gadget Hacks Shop, and watch Hulu or Netflix without regional restrictions, increase security when browsing on public networks, and more.

This is always a troubling situation, as it indicates that some sort of leakage may be occurring in your model. You may have noticed that your individual components do not equal the whole, either in an additive or geometric manner: > cum.tail(1) Mdd, sd, ed = max_draw_down_relative(p, b)į, a = plt.subplots(2, 1, figsize=)Ĭum].plot(title='Cumulative Absolute', ax=a)Ī.axvspan(sd, ed, alpha=0.1, color='r')Ĭum].plot(title='Cumulative Active', ax=a) The drawdown caclulation can now be made analogously using the formula above: dd = (p * b0 - b * p0) / (p0 * b0) p0 = pd.Series(p.ix.values, index=p.index)ī0 = pd.Series(b.ix.values, index=b.index) So, we generate a series of ' whens' captured in cam ( cumulative arg max) and subsequent series of portfolio and benchmark values at those ' whens'. The difference is that we want to keep track of what the p and b were at this time and not the difference itself. We get this series of cumulative active returns with p - b. Similar to the absolute case, at each point in time, we want to know what the maximum cumulative active return has been up to that point. P0 = pd.Series(p.iloc.values, index=p.index)ī0 = pd.Series(b.iloc.values, index=b.index) This is how we can extend the absolute solution: def max_draw_down_relative(p, b):Ĭam = pmb.expanding(min_periods=1).apply(lambda x: x.argmax()) The active return from period j to period i is: ![]() the variables below are assumed to already be in cumulative return space. ![]() Starting with a series of portfolio returns and benchmark returns, we build cumulative returns for both.

The max drawdown is then just the minimum of all the calculated drawdowns. r = returns.add(1).cumprod()Īt each point in time, the current drawdown is calcualted by comparing the current level of the return index with the maximum return index for all periods prior. We start by generating a series of cumulative returns to act as a return index. It takes a return series and gives back the max_drawdown along with the indices for which the drawdown occured. This is what I implemented for max drawdown based on Alexander's answer to question linked above: def max_drawdown_absolute(returns): I wanted to follow up by asking how others are calculating maximum active drawdown? This calculates Max Drawdown. The daily loss limit for this given day would still be $5000 initially, but since there’s a carried loss of -$1000 then will be deducted from the daily loss limit, and now a remainder of $4000 is left to lose before the account is flagged as Failed as per the daily loss limit.I recently asked a question about calculating maximum drawdown where Alexander gave a very succinct and efficient way of calculating it with DataFrame methods in pandas. The daily loss limit for this given day would still be $5000, but you’re allowed to lose $1000 more of the floating profits for a total of $6000.Īlternatively, if the account balance is $100,000 and your equity is $99,000 (at the close of the daily candle) then the max daily risk for the following day would be 5% of the starting balance of the day $100,000 = $5000, and the losing positions on your P/L results carried over from the previous trading day will be deducted to your daily loss limit, in this case, $5000 – $1000 = $4000. This is the Account balance at the close of the daily candle on broker time.įor example, if the account balance is $100,000 and your equity is $101,000 (at the close of the daily candle), then your max daily risk for the following day will be 5% of the starting balance of the day $100,000 = $5000, and the profits on your P/L carried over from the previous trading day will be added to your daily loss limit.

The Best Spice Grinders, According to Our Test Kitchen Types of Peelers Y-Peeler ![]() ![]() ![]() The Beast was one of the least offensive, emitting more of a gentle whir than a loud, pitchy rumble. Although none of the blenders differed too much in our decibel readings, some sounded whinier than others. It also sounds quieter than any other blender we tested. Most importantly, the Beast’s motor didn’t strain under any of our tests. This blender made the smoothest date shake by far, with no pebbly bits of dried fruit remaining. The smoothie it made had almost no ginger fibers, although a few spinach leaves remained unblended this was true of most blenders we tested (Beast sells a proprietary spatula to help scrape down ingredients, or you can use what you have on hand). The Beast was one of the most powerful blenders in our 2022 tests. The prices fluctuate between the Pro 1000 and the 900, and if the Pro 1000 is on sale, it’s a great personal blender option. Both NutriBullet models performed similarly in our 2022 tests, but we found the Pro 1000 a little more annoying to use: You have to lock the cup into the base before twisting it to blend, whereas with the Pro 900, you can lock the vessel and begin blending in one fluid motion. We also liked the slightly more powerful NutriBullet Pro 1000, which has a smaller footprint, a longer cord, and a more powerful motor. But most of the personal blenders we tested left whole seeds intact. That said, the NutriBullet Pro won’t blend berry seeds, which is something that a premium, full-size blender like the Vitamix 5200 (our top blender pick) can do. It’s all about design: The Pro has six long blades, whereas the Rx has only four shorter ones. And surprisingly, in our head-to-head comparison of more NutriBullet models, the Pro also beat out the larger, more powerful NutriBullet Rx. The original NutriBullet strained a bit with thicker mixtures, and its smoothies had a couple of small lumps. We think the Pro is worth the price increase over the original NutriBullet 600-watt model. ![]() The blender also comes in 14 colors (Amazon doesn’t offer all of them, but you can see more colors on the NutriBullet site), with matte or metallic options. There are only 10 actual blender parts.) You can get a version of the Pro with a 24- and a 32-ounce cup from Kohl’s and Bed Bath & Beyond, but the set is not consistently cheaper, and it comes with just one style of each lid, rather than two. The user manual, warranty, and recipe book are each considered pieces. (Note that the 13-piece description is somewhat misleading. ![]() But we recommend the 13-piece configuration, which comes with two 32-ounce jars, two to-go lids, two lip rings (for open-cup drinking), and two lip rings with handles. ![]() Some retailers sell versions of the Pro with different sets of accessories. The motor is engaged when you twist the blending cup onto the base, and it has one speed, which we found perfectly sufficient for the range of blending tasks we tried. There aren’t any dials or buttons to navigate. The NutriBullet Pro is intuitive and simple to use straight out of the box. (However, if you frequently blend ice, the more powerful NutriBullet Pro 1000, which the company recommends for blending ice, may hold up better over time because it has a stronger motor.) In our original tests, Matt Shook of JuiceLand was impressed with the force and smooth results of the NutriBullet. All of our picks were able to blend ice, and the NutriBullet Pro was just as good as our upgrade pick at crushing ice, oat milk, and frozen bananas. It also made some of the best pesto in our tests: The pesto had a consistent, gravelly grind that wasn’t too pasty. In our 2022 tests, the NutriBullet Pro was still one of the best at blending date shakes. In our original tests, the NutriBullet blended dates well, leaving only a few small, pleasantly chewy pearls in the bottom of the cup, and they didn’t clog the straw. We did have to stop and shake the blending jar to incorporate some wayward spinach leaves, but this was true of all the blenders. Our banana, berry, ginger, and spinach smoothie came out lump-free and with barely any fibers. Of the blenders we tested, the NutriBullet Pro did the best job of blending thick, spoonable smoothies. ![]() ![]() ![]() Identify the three layers of the adrenal cortex and the type of hormones each layer produces.Compare and contrast the adrenal cortex and adrenal medulla.Describe the structure and location of the adrenal glands.If you think you might be an adrenaline addict, note that there are healthier ways to experience a hormonal “high.” Running, biking, or participating in some other form of vigorous aerobic exercise causes the pituitary gland and hypothalamus to produce opiate-like endorphins, leading to a so-called “runner’s high.” Like the euphoric feeling adrenaline causes, a runner’s high may last for hours.
