So, I fear the answer is that there is nothing practical to be done, but if anyone has any ideas of how to lighten the dark keytops, I'm all ears. My only thought is the risky move of printing new papers, but I just know I'd get the size and font wrong.But after years of neglect, I think she deserves to feel beautiful again. She's royalty, after all.

It's definitely doable! The only way to do this is to remove the keyrings (preferably with a keyring pliers, otherwise it's incredibly tedious) and to physically replace the key legends with new ones. Richard Polt has some of the process described here as well as as high resolution scans that you can use to print out keys. https://writingball.blogspot.com/2016/10/legendary.html
Ames Supply Company used to sell keycards for doing this. Some of them had colors including green, so keep this in mind if you try something like creating rainbows across your keyboard or other visual fun. https://typewriterdatabase.com/1960-Ames_Gen_Cat_10-March.misc-supplies.manual
Our friend Lucas Dul of Chicago Typewriter has a great YouTube video of the tool and some of the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYHrBjfQxpM
As a fun example, Heiko Stolten recently did this on a Remington using custom made legends that use the font from the Netflix series Wednesday: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TypewriterCollectors/posts/10163537426144678/ If you ask nicely, they've got the original files if you need them for printing out .
Good luck!

This is quite good for stained-glass and stuff!!! It shows how the pre-raphaelite form was seen to be the most pious, it brought people back to the awe and reverence of the faith that appeared to be present in medieval england!
-
WithBurne-Jones and Rossetti in London in 1856, Morris formedwhat was in effect the second Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. ‘Apartfrom the desire to produce beautiful things,’ he recalled in 1894,‘the leading passion of my life has been and is hatred of moderncivilisation.’

-
ndeed itwas Burne-Jones who put the whole debate in a nutshell: ‘the morematerialistic Science becomes, the more angels shall I paint’.
-
t is, therefore, in the realm of political ratherthan artistic theory that we must first look for the origins of HighVictorian aesthetics
-
High Victorian art and architecture lasted little more thantwenty years: the customary dates are 1851 to 1870
-
t wasa dream born in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, in thehopelessness of the Hungry Forties

Theirs was a longing — far stronger than mere nostalgia— for a world of magic and fixed values; a yearning for stability inan age of change
Good quote to show how the gothic revival was something that was so old it could not be shaken by the changes of industrialisation

Ending the memoir with this sentence was an excellent choice by the author. As a teenager, Tan hadn't noticed her mother had catered the meal towards her, as she was fully focused on blending in and impressing her white crush. By including this sentence, Tan shows that she has since grown to fully appreciate her culture and family above her desire to assimilate to white American culture.

16.1: Case Study: Respiratory System and Gas Exchange
• Patient Information: Sacheen, a 20-year-old smoker, presents with a worsening cough, thick mucus production, sore throat, and chest congestion after an initial mild cough. • Medical History: Sacheen recently experienced symptoms of a common cold, including runny nose, fatigue, and mild cough. • Doctor’s Actions: Dr. Tsosie examines Sacheen, inquires about her symptoms and medical history, and measures her blood oxygen level using a pulse oximeter. • Diagnosis: Sacheen has bronchitis, an infection commonly occurring after a cold or flu. • Treatment Recommendations: Dr. Tsosie recommends Sacheen to thin and remove mucus by drinking plenty of fluids, using a humidifier, getting plenty of rest, and avoiding smoking. • Chapter Overview: The chapter will cover the respiratory system, the process of respiration, and acute bronchitis. • Respiratory System Overview: Includes lungs, bronchial tubes, and the rest of the respiratory tract, responsible for breathing and gas exchange. • Breathing Regulation: Rate of breathing is regulated to maintain blood gas and pH homeostasis. • Respiratory Disorders: Asthma, pneumonia, COPD, and lung cancer are examples of respiratory system disorders. • Content Source: This page is from a CK-12 licensed resource authored by Suzanne Wakim & Mandeep Grewal. • Content Topic: Respiratory System and Gas Exchange. • Content License: CK-12 license. -
16.4: Disorders of the Respiratory System
• Dust Mite Allergy: Dust mite feces contain proteins that can trigger asthma attacks. • Asthma Definition: A chronic inflammatory disease of the lungs where airways periodically become inflamed. • Asthma Symptoms: Airways narrow and may become clogged with mucus, making breathing difficult. • Asthma Definition: A chronic lung disease causing swelling and narrowing of airways, leading to difficulty breathing. • Asthma Triggers: Environmental factors like allergens, pollution, and stress, along with genetic predisposition. • Asthma Treatment: Inhaled bronchodilators for immediate relief and corticosteroids for long-term control, along with trigger avoidance. • Pneumonia Definition: Inflammation of the alveoli in the lungs, causing fluid buildup and impaired gas exchange. • Pneumonia Symptoms and Causes: Coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, fever, often caused by bacterial or viral infections. • COPD Definition: Chronic lung disease characterized by poor airflow, leading to shortness of breath and coughing. • COPD Causes: Tobacco smoking is the major cause, followed by air pollution and genetics. • COPD Symptoms: Reduced lung function, trapped air, impaired gas exchange, low oxygen levels, and high carbon dioxide levels. • Lung Cancer Definition: Malignant tumor in the lungs characterized by uncontrolled cell growth, originating from lung tissue or metastasized from other parts of the body. • Primary Cause: Tobacco smoking, accounting for about 85% of cases. • Other Risk Factors: Exposure to radon gas, asbestos, secondhand smoke, air pollutants, and family history of lung cancer. • Prognosis and Treatment: Often diagnosed late, making it the leading cause of cancer-related death; treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. • Sleep Apnea Definition: A potentially dangerous sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing due to physical blockage of the airway. • Sleep Apnea Symptoms: Loud snoring, restless sleep, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, moodiness, and increased risk of accidents. • Sleep Apnea Causes and Risk Factors: Relaxed muscles during sleep, exacerbated by alcohol or certain medications; more common in overweight individuals, smokers, those with diabetes, older people, and males. • Sleep Apnea Treatment: Treatment options include lifestyle changes, oral devices, CPAP therapy, and surgery. • CPAP Therapy: CPAP is the most common treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnea, using pressurized air to keep the airway open. • Sleep Apnea Risk Factors: Sleeping on one’s back can increase the risk of sleep apnea due to potential airway blockage. • Source of the Text: The text is adapted from “Human Biology” by CK-12 and licensed under CC BY-NC 3.0. • Content of the Text: The text is about disorders of the respiratory system. • License and Authorship: The page is shared under a CK-12 license and authored by Suzanne Wakim & Mandeep Grewal. -
16.2: Structure and Function of the Respiratory System Last updated May 7, 2022 Save as PDF 16.1: Case Study: Respiratory System and Gas Exchange 16.3: Breathing
• Respiration Definition: The process of releasing water vapor and other gases from the body. • Breath Visibility: Exhaled warm, moist air condenses into tiny droplets in cold weather, making it visible. • Respiration and Temperature: Exhaled air is warm and contains water vapor, which condenses in cold air. • Respiration Definition: Life-sustaining process of gas exchange between the body and the atmosphere, involving oxygen intake and waste gas removal. • Respiratory System Function: Supplies oxygen for cellular respiration and removes carbon dioxide produced by cells. • Respiratory System Processes: Ventilation (breathing) and gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide diffusion). • Respiratory System Organs: Lungs, trachea, bronchi, and diaphragm are involved in respiration. • Upper Respiratory Tract Function: Provides a route for air to move between the outside atmosphere and the lungs, cleaning, humidifying, and warming the incoming air. • Nasal Cavity Function: Warms and humidifies inhaled air, traps foreign particles, and contains chemoreceptors for smell and taste. • Pharynx Function: Connects nasal cavity and mouth to the throat, serving as a passageway for both air and food. • Larynx Function: Connects pharynx and trachea, houses vocal cords for sound production, and protects the trachea from food aspiration. • Lower Respiratory Tract: A tree-like branching system of passages within the lungs. • Respiratory Tract Structure: Inverted tree-like shape with 1,500 miles of airways conducting air to the lungs. • Trachea Function: Connects the larynx to the lungs, allowing air passage. • Lung Function: Site of gas exchange between air and bloodstream. • Lung Structure: Two lungs, right lung larger with three lobes and left lung smaller with two lobes, suspended in the pleural cavity. • Alveoli Function: Tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs, providing a large surface area for oxygen absorption and carbon dioxide release. • Blood Supply: Lungs receive deoxygenated blood for oxygenation and oxygenated blood for cellular respiration. • Respiratory System Importance: Vital for survival, requiring protection due to its exposure to harmful substances. • Mucociliary Escalator: A primary defense mechanism where mucus traps particles and cilia move them away from the lungs. • Coughing Mechanism: An involuntary response to remove mucus, debris, and irritants from the respiratory tract. • Sneezing Mechanism: Sneezing is an involuntary response triggered by irritation in the nasal passage, resulting in the forceful expulsion of air, mucus, and debris from the mouth. • Respiratory System and Homeostasis: The respiratory system collaborates with the nervous and cardiovascular systems to maintain homeostasis in blood gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) and pH levels. • Carbon Dioxide Regulation: The body primarily monitors carbon dioxide levels to regulate breathing rate and maintain blood gas and pH balance. • Respiratory and Cardiovascular System Interaction: The respiratory system exchanges gases with the outside air, while the cardiovascular system transports these gases to and from body cells. • Choking Definition and Causes: Choking is the mechanical obstruction of airflow into the lungs, often caused by objects blocking the pharynx or trachea, particularly in young children. • Choking Symptoms and Signs: Inability to speak or cry, labored breathing, clutching the throat, and blue discoloration of the face indicate choking. • Choking Treatment for Infants: Turn the baby upside down and slap on the back to dislodge the object. • Choking Treatment for Older People: Encourage coughing, give back slaps, and if needed, perform the Heimlich maneuver. • Emergency Action for Choking: If choking persists after the Heimlich maneuver, call for emergency medical care. • Respiratory System Overview: The respiratory system facilitates breathing, enabling the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. • Key Components: The respiratory system includes the larynx, lungs, alveoli, and ciliated epithelium. • Respiratory Processes: Breathing involves inhalation and exhalation, while sneezing is a reflex action to expel irritants. • Page Source: This page is from CK-12 and authored by Suzanne Wakim & Mandeep Grewal. • Content License: The page is shared under a CK-12 license. • Content Topic: The page is about the structure and function of the respiratory system.

Once humans attained culture, the pressure on genetic change is less significant and adaptation can take place through the flexibility afforded through cultural change.
for - key insight - culture - adaption through culture, not genes - SRG comment - danger is progress traps! - This is a key insight. Once we have sophisticated culture, we don't rely on slow moving genetic change to adapt anymore. Instead we rely on culture! - This is the world of human progress, but is also a dangerous one because progress (cultural adaptation to environmental pressures) comes with progress traps.

In Toni Cade Bambara's short story, "The Lesson" (1972), the narrator, Sylvia, speaks in African American Vernacular English (AAVE).
Term + my working definition:
AAVE = a vernacular dialect associated with African American communities that carries cultural identity and rhetorical power in the story.
Why this matters for my theme: Establishes AAVE as the story’s linguistic frame and vehicle for meaning.

Like the Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) protocol that Signal has used since its start, KEM is a key encapsulation mechanism. Also known as a key agreement mechanism, it provides the means for two parties who have never met to securely agree on one or more shared secrets in the presence of an adversary who is monitoring the parties’ connection. RSA, ECDH, and other encapsulation algorithms have long been used to negotiate symmetric keys (almost always AES keys) in protocols including TLS, SSH, and IKE. Unlike ECDH and RSA, however, the much newer KEM is quantum-safe.

How can wake experiences be direct reflections of the sensory world at that moment while comparable dream experiences are created by the brain based on novel combinations of fragments of memories from the past? The answer must be that our experiences are always constructed by the brain; the very same processing that gives us dreams gives us waking experiences of reality.
for - key insight - similarity of waking and dream state - How can - wake experiences be direct reflections of the sensory world at that moment while - comparable dream experiences are created by the brain based on novel combinations of fragments of memories from the past? - The answer must be that our experiences are always constructed by the brain; the very same processing that - gives us dreams - gives us waking experiences of reality. - In other words, our brains do not need incoming sensory input to produce realistic experiences. - Our waking experiences are the way that they are - not because of sensory input but - because of the functional capabilities of the human brain. -The MToC argues that the functional capability that produces our experience of reality, whether - we are awake - or asleep, - is the explicit memory system. - During sleep, we speculate that our brains are simply carrying on with functioning - akin to what happens when we are awake. - The typical modes of action of the human brain persist across wake and sleep. - While we are awake, our brains are producing a stream of experiences of being in the world, punctuated by thoughts. - While we are asleep, without the tremendous barrage of sensory input to constrain experience, perhaps our brains tend to return to these waking habits, - producing a stream of experiences in the world punctuated by thoughts.

From a memory perspective, sleep can be understood as critically important for normal memory function, given the lasting ramifications of consolidation.
for - key insight - paraphrase - adjacency - memory consolidation - sleep - massive unconscious parallel processing - From a memory perspective, - sleep can be understood as critically important for normal memory function, - given the lasting ramifications of consolidation. - Consolidation is the establishment of new connections - anchoring recent memories within relevant knowledge networks - While consolidation happens, some conscious experience (the dream) may be synthesized as the memory processing unfolds - Dreams reflect a storyline generated to make sense of a subset of activated memory fragments. - Consolidation that wires new connections happens across the entire cerebral context, without the constraints that come with conscious experience. - Unconscious processing during sleep takes advantage of massive parallel processing to connect all these thoughts together. - Dreams reflect a small portion of overnight memory consolidation work.

Experienceenriches language by rooting its structures in the robust structures of perceived things(perceiving the skin as sunburned fills out the meaning of “My skin is sunburned”)
for - key insight - language - induction leads to general categories - neonates experience reality as a continuous, unbroken stream of consciousness - To form objects required object permanence - which in turn requires us to impute general categories first, - which is constructed upon a process of induction - based on the raw material of particular, remembered gestaltic experiences - ideas ( and therefore words) are essentially constructed categories that allow us to unite entire series of remembered, gestaltic experiences of phenomenological reality - Consider the author's example of sunburned skin: - Suppose the is an infant for whom the word 'skin' does not have a meaning. - The infant may have experienced many separate pre-linguistic, gestaltic experiences involving his skin: - sunburned skin - itchy skin - skin scalded by hot water - skin that is cold - dirty skin from playing in the dirt - clean skin after waking the dirt off - cut skin from a knife cutting it accidentally in the kitchen - bandaged and healed skin - All of these gestaltic experiences, when accompanied by the appropriate vocalisations of the caretaker who is present that use the word 'skin' help the infant to construct the category meaning of the word 'skin' - Early language training is an induction-intensive process - Unless we learn how to construct abstract categories at a young age, we cannot become proficient abstract language users as adults - By abstract, I mean the category nature of word s and ideas, which give them their flexibility and modularity

In the body, the awareness of absence, of the hole in one’s individual being, can metamorphose into a cognizance of the paradoxical (w)holeness of a larger being, the flesh of the world.

So “I” must proceed from the ego’s empty core, from the hole in the “I” that can bring (w)holeness.

One of the biggest lessons of the Occupy movement was that you can't only have a demonstration. Demonstrations are great. Demonstrations are important to bring attention to certain critical issues. But if you lack mobilization and organization and a political strategy, then you're just basically engaging in a performative act. You're indulging in a performance. You aren't really changing the course of history.

the death example actually points to something more primordial! It points to the fact that I can never make a focal object of my framing, my capacity for Relevance Realization. I mean, Perspectively.

I've encountered several people in the Kagyu and Nyingma traditions who say, "Oh, we, you know 'tukdam,' yeah, people go in 'tukdam,' "but it's like, you know, not that big a deal. It's, we don't care that much." Part of the reason they don't care that much is that the idea that you need to go into this completely, kind of, a state where there's no phenomenal content— that's just a pure clear light mind— actually is something that many of the contemporary practitioners and teachers in those lineages don't agree with.

So the concept here is that you're actually no longer even capable of thinking, you're no longer capable of seeing, you're no longer capable of hearing, and so on. All that's left is just this kind of sheer consciousness itself, which doesn't even have a subject-object structure. So for the Gelugpas that lack of subject-object structure is not really relevant. For the other traditions it's extremely relevant, because it's said that if you're going to understand the nature of the mind, the fundamental distortion in the mind is precisely that subject-object structure. So you have to cultivate a non-dual awareness,

However, - how we actually turn out as adults depends on what variables exist in our environment - If we have a compassionate mOTHER, our Most significant OTHER, she will teach us compassion - just like a child raised in a community of other language speakers in the environment will enable the child to cultivate the language capacity and - without a community of language speakers, a feral infant will grow up not understanding language at all - a healthy environment triggers beneficial epigenetic processes - Again, the chinese saying is salient: (hu)man on earth, good at birth.

key insight / summary - neoliberalism and industrial capitalism were based on Descarte and our separation from the natural world - Post Capitalist Philanthropy Webinar 1 - Alnoor Ladha - Lynn Murphy - 2023 - FIrst, Descarte separated the mind from the body. We have the paradox of: - godlike mind housed in - animalistic bodies - (incidentally, this sets us up for the exageration of the existential crisis of the denial of death in modernity - Ernest Becker) - Then we impose separation of external vs internal world - Then, we have separate categories of mind and nature, and we begin othering of: - women - other (indigenous) cultures - What Alnoor and Lynn forgot to mention was that there is another separation that preceded the industrial revolution, the separation of people into distinct classes of: - producer - consumer - Then with the advance of Newtonian physics and the wild success of materialist theory applied to create a plethora of industrial technologies, a wedding occurred between: - dualism and - materialism - Materialism decomposes everything into subatomic particles that a rational mind can understand - To those who think science and technology can save us from the crisis it helped create - the deeper understanding reveals that science and technology are themselves agents of separation.
