Why does Calibre do this? I have no idea. Squishy lines.Ĭould Amazon be taking care of the problem? I downloaded samples from the contest entries. I took that Calibre-generated file and ran it through KindleGen. I ran a file I had made specifically for Kindle through Calibre. So maybe the problem lies in the subtle differences between the html coding for EPUB and MOBI. In the recent ebook formatting contest, I saw squishy line spacing in every single ebook that had been converted via Calibre. Same page, same settings, same device (Kindle Paperwhite). I then took the exact same file and converted it with KindleGen via the Kindle Previewer. I converted an EPUB file to a MOBI file with Calibre. I assumed it was user error, a problem with the source file and/or the html, and if the formatter did a really good job with the initial file, Calibre wouldn’t muck it up. Having seen some horrendously broken ebooks that had been converted through Calibre, I have long suspected that Calibre was the wrong tool for the job. What it’s not good for? Converting EPUB files into MOBI files for commercial purposes. Since I don’t have a device capable of reading EPUB files, it’s also useful for checking the formatting on files I create for others. It’s quick, it’s handy, and it has an attractive screen display that I far prefer over Adobe Digital Editions or the Kindle Previewer. It’s not a quick fix (or magical), but it’s not difficult either.ĭon’t get me wrong. Part 1 (Styling in Word), Part 2 (the HTML file) and Part 3 (Conversion in Calibre). I found a fix and I wrote a series of posts about it. Considering the vast number of hits this blog post is generating, I knew there was a call for information about how to convert a Word file to MOBI in Calibre. UPDATE 010314: I wrote this article before I did any real research into Calibre.

Once you're past Chica, continue following the path ahead until you reach a save terminal on the wall to the left. Make sure you're crouching during this section to ensure you're keeping as quiet as possible. Interact with the cans and she'll move, allowing you to slip past to the next area. Chica is in the room to the right eating garbage in the corner, so you'll want to use the cans to cause a distraction. Head through the doors and walk towards the set of cans on the table ahead. With Freddy leaving you to fend for yourself, you're ready for your first taste of animatronic action. With that done, proceed through the doors. Then, log your progress at the Save Your Spot terminal to the right-hand side of the door. Walk towards the set of double doors ahead and grab the bag to the left. Head up the stairs right at the end of the Maintenance Tunnels and Freddy will fully power down, ejecting you and running to a nearby charging station, leaving you on your own. Eventually, you'll find Freddy's power levels are running out. Once this is complete, jump back into Freddy's chest and continue down the Maintenance Tunnels. Hop into the medical booth hiding spot and a cutscene will play. As soon as you're out in the open, you'll hear the security guard's footsteps. You'll be ejected from his chest and left in a room with a large medical booth. Follow them to the bottom and walk through the Maintenance Tunnels ahead.Īs you continue through the tunnels, Freddy will suddenly sense that Gregory needs medical attention, automatically running to a first aid room. You'll arrive at a set of stairs leading down. Head out of the room and towards the pair of red doors next to the shutter that led to the photo pass. This will be your first experience playing as Freddy. When back at Freddy's door, he'll allow you to climb into his chest and pilot him. Once you're in the lobby ahead, circle back to Freddy's room. You should be able to see Chica, Monty and Roxy in their rooms, although they don't pose a threat. Jump up them, enter the vent and follow the path ahead. Save your progress by holding the interact button and then make your way towards the stack of boxes next to the charging station to your right. It'll open up the maintenance room and take you to your first Save Your Spot terminal. To do that, you'll want to head behind the arcade machine towards the back of the room and press the button shaped like Freddy's head. Your first objective will be to help Freddy get out of his room so he can take you back to the entrance. You'll also gain access to the Faz-Watch, which can be grabbed from Freddy's stomach. After a short conversation, you'll be able to exit Freddy's interior and take control of Gregory for the first time.įreddy will continue to chat to you through this section, although you'll have a few small objectives, including looking through the parting in the curtains behind you to watch the security guard pass by. It doesn't take long for the overly-friendly robot to realise something's wrong, as the voice of Gregory emerges from his stomach. After a short cutscene showing Freddy, Roxy, Chica and series newcomer Monty jamming out on stage, Freddy will awaken in his dressing room looking at himself in a mirror.

But from the contents, it's not related and shouldn't be a problem. Oh, and about that /etc/paths.d/100-rvictl file: it looks like you double-clicked it, which tried to run it as a script, which didn't really work (it's not a script). with sudo) rather than under your user ID, and therefore creating files owned by root rather than you. macOS Linux Installing in silent mode You can use silent installation of Miniconda or Anaconda for deployment or testing or building services, such as GitHub Actions. For folders, use sudo chown -R "$UID" ~/foldername to get their contents as well.īTW, the ownership problem is likely a result of some installer or setup script running as root (i.e. but there might be other files with the same problem, so I'd recommend running ls -l ~ to list all the files in your home folder, and apply that fix to any others that aren't owned by you. But if there are other things there you should edit it, and it'd be best to fix its ownership first.įixing file ownership: You can take ownership of the file with: sudo chown "$UID" ~/.zshrc If that's the only thing in the file, you can just delete the entire file. The entire "conda initialize" section (from # > conda initialize > to # <<< conda initialize <<<) should be removed. It looks like the leftover PATH entry is coming from your ~/.zshrc file. etc/paths.d/100-rvictl: line 1: /Library/Apple/usr/bin: is a directory But here's what I found in paths.d (not sure what the file "100-rvictl" is): Last login: Mon Sep 6 17:21:00 on ~ % /etc/paths.d/100-rvictl exit I wasn't able to locate ~/.zlogin, ~/.zshenv or ~/.profile.

I am guessing this is not optimal and can create problems in the future? In similar questions the problem is solved by removing the anaconda directory from the PATH environment variable but my ~/.bash_profile is empty. This seems like overkill, but I am going to try it. It has been recommended that I completely uninstall and reinstall Anaconda. Basically, I am unable to import pandas at all into my code. One of the pandas looks like it was installed through Python 2.7 pip. When I run the which python command it returns : /usr/local/bin/python. 1 I had 2 versions of pandas (22 and 23) in my Anaconda environment for Python 3.6. I have uninstalled anaconda and both my opt directory and. What should I have done differently/ how should I have fixed that? Is there a way to only install python once and have both IDLE and anaconda use that one? Or do I have to keep two copies of python for both and install packages for both separately? In which case, how do I do that? I tried that before, but terminal showed the message that the package is already installed in my anaconda folder, and I didn't know how to tell it to install it again in a different folder.When I run echo $PATH in terminal (macOS), it returns /opt/anaconda3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin. As far as I figured out, it installed in my "anaconda-python" and my "idle-python" can't see it or have access to it. However, trying to import pygame in IDLE gave me an error, saying module not found. Some of the troubles I've ran into most recently (but not limited to): I needed to install pygame and followed the instructions. As its all dependencies are in the folder they. Keep in mind, while I'm not tech illiterate, I am not well-versed in command line and the stuff that takes place under the hood, so to speak. If you installed PyTorch from the source you can uninstall it by removing the Pytorch folder from your system. Partially unrelated to this, I am doing a clean reinstall of my OS (I'm on a mac, installing the most recent macOS Mojave), so I figured I will take this opportunity to do things properly. Hello all! I've been programming in python and using anaconda for ipython for around 2 years now, so you'd think I'd know how to properly install stuff, manage pathways etc., but the truth is that I always mess it up, install the same thing 10 times because the previous 9 times won't work, and then finally find a solution that gets me by, but likely introduces a lot of mess. To install PyTorch with Anaconda, you will need to open an Anaconda prompt via Start Anaconda3 Anaconda Prompt.

The couple just recently celebrated the birth of their baby boy. His wife, Lisa Lawenda, is vice president of sales for Blue Gem, which remains Blue Planet’s parent company, and the two now design all the frames in Blue Planet’s line. “I ended up falling in love with what I was doing,” said Weinstein, whose mother, Deborah Weinstein, has taken over her late husband David’s role as president. After six months taking care of his father until he passed away, Matt was quite involved in the company. While backpacking around the world in 2012, he was working at an orphanage in Africa when he got a phone call from home informing him that his father had been diagnosed with cancer. Growing up, Weinstein didn’t necessarily think he’d be running his dad’s sunglasses company. Explained Weinstein, “I wanted it to be something where someone can feel good about what they’re purchasing, not only from an environmental standpoint but also knowing that their purchase is helping another person in need.” Blue Planet Eyewear's Matt Weinstein reflected in Lisa Lawenda sunglasses Paul Wellman To date, Blue Planet has donated more than 150,000 pairs of glasses to people in need in the U.S. But its primary charitable program is called Visualize Change for every frame sold, Blue Planet donates a pair of glasses to someone in need through partnerships with charities like SEE International, Direct Relief, Feed the Children, and the Best Day Foundation. In addition to Blue Planet’s environmental charge, the company takes social responsibility one step further by sponsoring school fundraisers and beach cleanups. “All of our eyewear is designed with our beach lifestyle in mind.” The company enjoys being headquartered in seaside Carpinteria. They also use non-lead paints and offer many frames made from sustainable bamboo. Today, the glasses are all made from recycled plastics or metals that are nickel-free, which reduces toxic byproducts. “He wanted to do a better job creating a line that was eco-friendly and better for the environment,” said Matt Weinstein, who is now brand manager for Blue Planet. So he created new glasses out of all the postconsumer material and dubbed it Blue Planet Eyewear. In 2009, he decided that there was a better way to handle the massive amounts of waste involved in manufacturing. The elder Weinstein first began making Blue Gem Sunglasses in 1982, and the brand soon became known for a diverse collection of styles and frames. But it’s since grown into an eco-minded, Carpinteria-based company that continues to thrive as “my saving grace in life,” according to his son, Matt Weinstein.

Similarly, arriving at the moment of death isn’t the moment when death becomes reality the process of journeying toward that moment is also the reality of dying. The moment she steps onto the Olympic field isn’t the moment she becomes a soccer player the process of journeying toward the Olympics is also the reality of being a soccer player. Imagine that the journey is like an athlete who spends her whole life mastering her sport. I’m no Seneca expert, so I can’t speak to his intention, here, but imagine with me that the journey metaphor doesn’t override the process metaphor. The moment is the completion of the death-process, yet the very next sentence leans into the journey metaphor I used above. We reach death at that moment, but we have been a long time on the way. The final hour when we cease to exist does not itself bring death it merely of itself completes the death-process. Then, I noticed that Seneca talks about it both ways: Death becomes the reality of living living is dying. It’s a subtle but powerful shift that brings the reality of death from the future into the present. What I hadn’t considered was that “whatever time has passed is owned by death” - that I have “died” for 36 years, already. I had even considered the adage that life is short - that death isn’t so far off as it might seem. We are dying metaphorically, because we’re headed in the direction of a far off thing called death. I’d considered that no one can live a perfectly healthful lifestyle 100% of the time, but “dying” meant moving toward a specific moment. I’d considered the fact that the very act of breathing slowly kills us. I’d considered the idea that we’re dying from the moment we’re born. All of life is a journey within that inevitable reality. We are, he suggests, from the moment of our births, engaged in the process of dying. Rather than the moment, itself, being the event of death, our entire lives are a process of death. Seneca argues that we perceive the momentary event of dying (of passing from “life” into “death”) improperly we have an incorrect posture toward death. This is our big mistake, to think we look forward to death most of death is already gone, whatever time has passed is owned by death. death, we laid them on top of each other? What if life and death aren’t static descriptions or momentary events but processes? More than that, what if living and dying are actually the same process? Living Is Dying In America, there’s a lot of dualism we pick two things and pit them against each other, but what if we didn’t do that. Nevertheless, that’s how many people view it, but I want to completely reimagine the relationship between life and death. It’s also an over simplification of life and death. If you’re a particularly precise person, you might be thinking that this is an over simplification of darkness, light, cold, and heat, and I agree with you. (Maybe that’s why people are so fascinated with zombies.) They aren’t opposites, per se, but they don’t overlap. Death is the absence of life, similar to how darkness is the absence of light or cold is the absence of heat. DeathĪs far as I can remember, life and death have always been presented to me as mutually exclusive. I invite you to reimagine things with me. The concepts of eternal life, rebirth, new creation, and dying to oneself beg consideration of life and death.Īs I was learning about memento mori, I came across some quotes from Seneca, a famous Stoic philosopher, and they prompted a reimagining of life and death, which led to questions about death in relation to eternal life. Memento Mori and ChristianityĬhristianity often has a lot to say about life and death, so it’s understandable that memento mori found its way into Christian philosophy. My understanding is that it was a common mantra among stoic philosophers as a tool of reflection how we understand death, life, and mortality can have a profound impact on how we live. Allow some color or dimension variations, due to different screen setting and hand craft work.Memento mori (/məˈmɛntoʊ ˈmɔːri/, mə-MEN-toh MOR-ee) is a Latin phrase that translates to something like remember death or remember that you die.
