![]() We believe that when someone wants to do something on their computer, they want to spend their time doing it, not deciding how to do it. Well, we don’t think this is necessarily a good thing when it comes to usability. People love having choices, because having choices means having freedom. But something that is fundamentally simple”like changing the time on a wristwatch”should stay simple. It’s right and proper for complicated tasks to take time and expertise to accomplish. Most people dread setting the time on their digital watches, and for good reason. But on newer digital wristwatches”ones that claim to be more powerful and feature-loaded than their analog counterparts”it involves pressing a series of buttons in a hard-to-remember, often unforgiving order. Setting the time on a wristwatch, for instance, shouldn’t be that hard on old analog wristwatches, it basically involved pulling out a knob, twisting it until the watch showed the correct time, and pushing the knob back in again. Some tasks”for instance, teaching a child arithmetic”are intrinsically pretty complicated. But in today’s consumer culture, what should be blamed on bad interface design is instead blamed on the “incompetence” of users. User interface design is incredibly hard, and carries with it a great deal of responsibility this is something that’s taken quite seriously when it comes life-critical systems such as flight control software. If you have trouble using your microwave, it’s not because you’re “not good with technology”, it’s because the people in charge of designing the interface for that microwave didn’t do their job right. The main thing you have to remember”and please remember this, because it could be vital to your sanity”is that any problems you have with an interface are not your fault. Aza will take some time to answer those questions, and then I will begin posting his responses during the week of July 9, 2007. I will keep comments open until ~midnight of June 30, 2007. If you have a question for Aza, please submit them in the comment section of this post. Be warned: Aza is an incorrigible punster, so please do not incorrige. He also enjoys playing the French Horn, which has taken him all over the world as a soloist. ![]() For recreation, he does Judo, speaks Japanese, and invents in his lab. Aza has also done Dark Matter research at both Tokyo University and the University of Chicago, from where he graduated with honors in math and physics. By the age of 17, he was talking and consulting internationally by age 19, he was coauthoring a physics textbook because he was too young to buy alcohol and at age 21, he started drinking alcohol and co-founded Humanized. He gave his first talk on interface design at his local San Francisco chapter of SIGCHI at the age of 13, got hooked, and has been speaking ever since. Students of the Toyota Production System will quickly see the very close parallels between humane design and the way Toyota approaches their treatment of people, work environments, and business.Īza brings over six years of interface design and consulting experience to Humanized. In a previous post on Ethnography, I invited Aza Raskin, founder of Humanized, a consultancy that aims to help companies design more humane products - from consumer packaged goods to software interfaces - and, son of Jef Raskin, the inventor of the Macintosh and author of The Humane Interface: New Directions for Designing Interactive Systems - to possibly answer reader’s questions about design, visual management, ethnography, genchi genbutsu, man-machine interactions, or anything related.

![]() We now have an opportunity to meet and celebrate at a safe distance of course but celebrate just the same. So excited.This past year has had its challenges. ![]() I will be your encourager and am excited to meet you to join you for this incredible day. If you have had your aura photo taken before please feel free to bring it along for some fun comparison. Navigate to the Interfacing Options menu and select Camera. Access the Raspberry Pi configuration menu by typing the following command into the terminal: sudo raspi-config. You can expect all of this to take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. After setting up the Raspberry Pi, we need to enable the camera module. We want to show you how you can help yourself by seeing your own aura so you can gain deeper personal insight into your emotional, mental and spiritual. This Aura Photo experience is $40.00 which includes a simple overview of the process, your personal scan printed out in color, a short discussion about your Chakra and Aura size shape and color, what that all means, an emailed multiple page report explaining your scan generated from the software. Another way to find your aura is to stare at your hands for approximately. The color you see surrounding your head and shoulders is your aura. Without moving your eyes, scan the outer perimeter of your head and shoulders. Concentrate on a focal point in the middle of your forehead. It is as if a mirror is showing you your energy, your radiance, and your personal essence. Look in the mirror for a minute in front of a white background. In these changing times, how would you like to see yourself in an entirely fresh light? Yoga Flow is bringing an Aura Photo day on August 1st from 11:30 thru 8:00 Appointments are encouraged and are available by contacting Yoga Flow at Come and experience the phenomena of seeing your energetic signature in living color.

The physical size of the image at resolution needs to be at least the same size as it will be in printed form.įor example, if your background color image is 300 dpi but measures 1½” x 2”, but it will be 3½” x 4” on the page, then you have a problem. The images you will be using for your book need to be high-resolution, at least 300 dpi for color and grayscale and 600 dpi for line art. In the Document pull-down menu, select "Convert Format / ICCProfile." and in the new window select the CGATS21_CRPC1 profile that you have just installed. If the total is over 240%, it will need to be corrected. Now you can hover over the darkest areas to see the total ink coverage and the ink mix. In the Info window, click the three gray dots on the left (see 1 in the screen capture below) and select Total Ink (2) do the same on the right and select CMYK (3). In the View pull-down menu, under Studio, select info. We recommend making sure your resolution and color are correct in Affinity Photo before starting layout in Publisher. Unfortunately, you can not check ink in Affinity Publisher, but you can in Affinity Photo. ![]() Warning! This richer black may look better, but if it is layered with other elements in your layout, it can push the combination to be over ink. If you want a richer black, you can set values as follows: When selecting colors in layout, set blacks to use the following values: What remains open in your workspace is customizable.īe sure to explore the View drop-down menu under Studio to see what palettes are available to make your work faster and more efficient.īooks cannot have ink coverage that exceeds 240%.

The screenshots shown in this tutorial use Affinity Publisher and Affinity Photo for Mac OS. All books going into OneBookShelf's print-on-demand program require these two PDF files, the cover file and the interior file. In this tutorial, we will address how to set up one digital file for the interior and a separate one for the cover. The software publisher, Serif, offers Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher at a very low cost for each, but does not offer them as a package currently. Affinity Publisher is a desktop publishing application Affinity Photo is a raster graphics image editor and Affinity Designer is a vector graphics image editor. All are available for both Windows and Mac OS. (Paper stock varies between the formats, so it's important to create different covers for each format you wish to create.)Īffinity is a software suite that includes Affinity Designer, Affinity Publisher, and Affinity Photo. ![]() If you want to prepare a book in different formats, download the specific PDF cover templates and prepare different color cover files. Templates for the interior and cover can be downloaded on the Template Generator Page. The only exception involves creating the cover template. No matter the format, the process is nearly identical. Books can be prepped using Affinity for black-and-white, standard 70 color, and premium color formats. This basic tutorial provides guidance on how to use Affinity Publisher and Affinity Photo to create your content and prepare print-ready PDF files. ![]() In addition, the Orokin constructed the Grineer, a caste of genetically engineered slaves to serve their most basic industrial and military needs, while the rest of the empire was made up of less wealthy and advanced populations performing technological and economic services which would eventually congeal into the Corpus, following the teachings of Parvos Granum. It is unclear to what extent these were regarded as Orokin rather than servants or underlings of the Orokin. Ĭlasses beneath them include Archimedeans (scientists and scholars), Lorists (healers), Sectarus (navigators or ship operators), Enginus (an unknown role), and Temple Guardians (another unknown role). The Orokin's judicial body was a council known as the Congress of Executors (mainly referred to as the Seven.) Another high-ranking body is presumably the virtually unknown Orokin High Court. Based on various loose lore descriptions, we know that the empire was led by multiple Emperors whose names and details are unknown. Orokin society was highly stratified, with only those at the very top being regarded as actual Orokin. Manual labor from slaves and serfs was always preferred. Notably, Orokin society rejected automation via robotics despite being evidently capable of it: while advanced robotics were commonplace for minor, menial tasks such as environmental surveillance, the creation of true machine intelligence was generally forbidden and only employed in the direst circumstances. ![]() Punishments for even the smallest transgressions were brutal, often collective, and ranged from mutilation (such as hands being cut off as punishment for theft ) to execution via the Jade Light (which incinerated people entirely) to conversion of the condemned into Cephalons as a means of perpetual servitude. Social repression took many forms, from restricting access to technology and resources (to the point where serfdom and back-breaking manual labor were common in agriculture despite the option of industrialization), forcible genetic manipulation (as was done to create the Grineer slaves) to the outright seizure of children from their homes to be sold off in Yuvan markets. Economic practices under doctrines such as capitalism were viewed with suspicion for their potential to raise individuals beyond the class of their birth. ![]() Class mobility and ascending beyond one's station were exclusive privileges offered to very few, while most people were expected to offer unquestioned servitude to their quasi-divine masters. Being dominated by an immortal aristocracy with access to highly advanced technology, Orokin culture was also extremely conservative and repressive. ![]() Some high-ranking Orokin even modified their own bodies to obtain a more aesthetically wild and beautiful appearance than would ever be naturally possible, with blue skin and an elongated right arm.ĭespite their futuristic splendor, much of Orokin culture was heavily influenced by ancient cultures, with much emphasis placed on honor, propriety, loyalty to one's superiors, and acceptance of the status quo. Orokin-made items all share this luxurious design, from tea sets and clothing to even their most basic infantry rifles, and their distinctive relics have continued to influence cultures all the way up to the present day. The Orokin favored white, gold, black, and blue in their aesthetics, and tended to construct massive structures adorned with innumerable golden ornaments complemented by long hallways and extremely high ceilings. Although details about the Orokin are scarce, they are almost entirely responsible for the current state of the Origin System.Īn Orokin teaset as seen during The Sacrifice Aesthetics and Fashionĭetails about Orokin culture are scarce, but it is evident from their architecture and relics that they were obsessed with splendor, luxury, beauty, and excess. During what was known as the Orokin Era, they built technological masterpieces that surpass even present day technology, while exercising complete dominion over the known world. The Orokin was an ancient civilization that ruled over the Origin System in the distant past.

When Handbrake scanning source takes forever, the very first thing is to close Handbrake, and reboot it with Administrator access. HandBrake Scanning Problems due to Improper Version/Settings This will attempt to bypass any errors or problematic sections on the DVD and allow Handbrake to continue scanning when you encounter "Handbrake scanning stuck at 50%" trouble. Opt for your DVD drive and tick the "Forced Scan" option. In Handbrake, go to the "File" menu and select "Open Source". ![]() Enable Forced Scan option in HBĮnable "Forced Scan" option. Note: Finding right title with DVD player is simple for all users and requires no third party software. Only one thing to note here, if you have an enormous DVD collection to backup or rip, this way can be time consuming and extremely inconvenient. That way, you shouldn't run into HandBrake not scanning source error. Then, HandBrake will scan the designated title only. Open HandBrake. Under the Source Selection, enter the title number in the field of Optionally choose a specific title. From the Go menu you can find the main title of the movie, and remember the number of the title. Insert the DVD and launch your DVD player. When Handbrake won't scan all titles or title drop down blank or other reading errors, the simplest solution is to tell Handbrake which is the right DVD title to rip. ![]() Manually set the right title if Handbrake not showing titles properly Handbrake and VLC run well on 64 bit Windows and Mac. Note 2: You should note that both Handbrake and VLC should keep pace with the processor of your computer, namely 32 bit or 64 bit. In this case, you can get the missing libdvdcss for Handbrake: download the libdvdcss.2.dylib file and place the file to Handbrake install folder and rename it to libdvdcss.dll (or rename it to libdvdcss.dylib and put it in the /usr/lib/ for Mac users), or install a copy of libdvdcss via homebrew. Note 1: Those who use VLC Player 2.0 and those who upgrade to macOS latest version may also have Handbrake won't scan disk problem. It's available for free download on its official site. So before you rip protected DVDs with Handbrake, install VLC media player on Windows 10/11 or macOS. Handbrake won't scan DVD with protections, but it can take advantage of third party software to remove the DVD encryption tech and read the disk. Install VLC to remove CSS protections before ripping with Handbrake Click the RUN button at the bottom right corner to start ripping DVD. Click the Browse button beside Destination Folder and select a save path for the resulting file. There are more than 350 output presets to choose. On the Output Profile window, choose an output format and click the Done button. And, it also allows you to choose other titles to rip. After scanning DVD, it will select the right main movie title for you automatically. DVD scanning takes a few seconds only, even if it's a 99-title DVD.

It removes all protections like DVD CSS, region code, RCE, Sony ArccOS, UOPs, Disney X-project protection and automatically find the right title without any extra app help. MacX DVD Ripper Pro is your best solution. Use Handbrake Alternative to skirt all encryptions For those who are non-technical with libdvdcss or technical stuff, the easiest solution to Handbrake not scanning DVD is to switch to a professional DVD decrypter to handle the copyright protected DVDs. In this case, uses need to use Homebrew to install libdvdcss. Coming with SIP (System Integrity Protection), Mac El Capitan and later will remove libdvdcss by default. What's more, installing libdvdcss on Mac is not an easy process. libdvdcss can only be used to access and unscramble DVDs encrypted with CSS, but there are many other DVD copy protection schemes, such as Sony ArccOS, APS, UOP, and Disney X-project. However, libdvdcss is not a cure all for ripping copy-protected DVDs. Installing libdvdcss for Handbrake may fix this problem. Handbrake doesn't support DVD copy protections and that can lead to DVD scanning errors with Handbrake.

This flaw is common when a model is imported from CAD because CAD has real, exact circles whereas SketchUp approximates circles with polygons. Your floor might be based on measurements you. This tutorial shows how to draw 2D floor plans in SketchUp step by step from scratch. Once you’re in the top down plan view, you can draw the floor. SketchUp Floor Plan Tutorial for Beginners - 1. You’ll want to use the plan / top down view from the SketchUp dropdown list of predefined 2D templates. For example, the lines representing the seats of the chairs at the table don’t meet the table, nor do they have their own line to close the end, so they won’t form faces. In this Trimble Sketchup tutorial we cover how to convert a sketch image of a plan into a 3d model in Sketchup.Original plan sketch by Garbee Architecture, P.

The first step is to import the PDF into the SketchUp file. Here’s our simple step by step 2D floor plan creation guide. Sometimes you can cause SketchUp to fill a face by tracing one of the existing edges. There are various reasons why faces may fail to form, for example gaps in the tentative outline of the face, edges that are not coplanar. Set the camera view to Top and to Parallel Projection. The ones that show the background color are where faces failed to form for one reason or another. Floor plan design and 2D drawing services are often used by architects and designers to create accurate and detailed floor plans. Draw your floorplan (or even better a whole 3D room) in SketchUp. Only the white and blue parts of your model are faces.

He also developed new transformations through his research during the timeskip, which he debuts on Fish-Man Island, including Kung Fu Point (which he uses to defeat Neptune's soldiers) and a revised Horn Point (which he uses against Daruma). His Heavy Point has become exceedingly larger and more muscular, being almost the size of Dosun's. His horns are larger, he has more muscle, and his fur is longer. His Walk Point (reindeer) form has grown considerably, now being roughly as tall as Usopp. Aside from being slightly slimmer and having his fur changing from dark brown into a light brown color, Chopper's Brain Point form has not changed. He also wears a white and yellow vertical-striped tank top, which he takes off when he transforms into Heavy Point, and an orange pair of shorts. The color of his fur has changed from brown to gold, and according to Nami (when she and Chopper reunite on Sabaody), the texture has gotten softer.Ĭhopper now wears a blue cap that has a ring of dots around the circle, while the cap has buckles hanging from it. It is arguable that since leaving the cold climate on Drum Island, he has lost significant body fat. He is less potbellied than he was in earlier seasons and his arms/forelimbs are also skinnier. In the Thriller Bark Arc, he wore a crucifix necklace.Īfter two years, Chopper is significantly leaner. In the Post Enies Lobby Arc, he wore a blue t-shirt with a white Galley-La Company logo on it. In the Enies Lobby Arc, he wore a red leather jacket. In the Arabasta Arc, he wore a white shirt with a green-lined collar, then a bigger one with giant sleeves that is light blue with dark blue liners. Similar to most of his male crewmates, Chopper has the same outfit throughout most of the series. His Heavy Point or human form is likewise mistaken for a gorilla (or an abominable snowman on his home island). The word "tonakai", which is the Japanese word for "reindeer", is where the "Tony" in Chopper's name is derived from. There are even males that find Chopper cute such as Foxy and Breed.Ī running gag is that various characters in One Piece think Chopper is a tanuki (raccoon-dog, often simply translated as "a raccoon") while in his Brain Point or hybrid form. Many female characters, such as Nami, Robin, Makino, Porche, Shakky, and Vivi find Chopper very cute. As Oda's style evolved and many readers commented on how cute Chopper was, Chopper has been given a much more " chibi" like appearance, meaning that when in his preferred transformation (which he calls Brain Point), he has a larger head and eyes and a less defined muzzle than earlier in the series. He also sometimes wears a blue backpack that has the same sideways medical cross as his hat. He usually wears a large pale red/pink fuzzy top hat with a sideways medical cross (given to him by Hiriluk) and a maroon pair of shorts. Chopper's left antler is braced at the base by a metal plate because it was reattached after being broken during his search for the Amiudake when he was younger (where he thought the Amiudake can cure Hiriluk's disease) and ran into the leader of his old herd, who severely injured him. Most of the time, Chopper is a toddler-sized human/reindeer hybrid, but his Devil Fruit abilities allow him to change his appearance depending on the situation. Īppearance Further information: Tony Tony Chopper/Gallery After the Dressrosa Arc, it was increased to 100, then to 1,000 following the Raid on Onigashima. Chopper aims to travel all across the world in the hopes of accomplishing his dream of being able to cure any disease.Ĭhopper gained his first bounty of 50 after the incident at Enies Lobby, having been mistaken for the Straw Hats' pet. He was taught medicine on Drum Island by his two parental figures, Doctors Hiriluk and Kureha. He was temporarily forced to join the Foxy Pirates during the Long Ring Long Land Arc, but was quickly returned to Luffy's crew.Ĭhopper is a reindeer that ate the Hito Hito no Mi, a Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a human hybrid at will. He is the sixth member of the crew and the fifth to join, doing so at the end of the Drum Island Arc. Tony Tony Chopper, also known as "Cotton Candy Lover" Chopper, is the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of the Senior Officers of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
