Hi, I was wondering if you have resources or examples of what system mapping is/looks like? My therapist mentioned it and I don't really understand what that ... looks like. And also can't find any real resources on it

System mapping refers to a lot of record keeping, more so than most people think of when they hear about it. The most common route for this exercise is a visual aid, often done on blank printer paper or with a computer application that allows for shapes with text in them.

Some goals for system mapping can be seeing how system members

are related (who knows who, how they interact with one another, how they define their connections)

came into the system (who split from who, when they showed up, what happened to get them)

fit into the collective (who’s similar or different, how roles make sense, where triggers chain together)

exist in space (how close to one another they are, where things are in the internal world, how visualized barriers come into play)

are themselves (which labels they use, which things they like and dislike, how they exist as one being and a member of a group)

Here are some examples of maps for each of these things

I did these taking only a few minutes each, and they’re simplified versions of real maps we’ve done in the past. Maps should be thought-provoking, a dumped box of ideas you connect on the page. Sometimes it takes hours (or days, but that’s usually an avoidance problem).

We’re working on one right now that shows when different color codes came into play for us. Our system is huge, so this is a broader project that doesn’t address individual members or subgroups. We took a poster paper and some colorful pens, made some notes at the top, and are drawing a garden with a central tree and some flowers for pieces that don’t make sense as a branching out. We worked on it several hours straight, redid it twice, and it’s still not done.

Our largest system map is a wall of post-its hanging on for dear life, with different color notes and ink for different purposes. We have a whole legend of symbols and would probably be using pins and yarn if we had a cork board. That one is everything; people and places, subgroups and relationships, programming and trauma, all of it.

If you(&)’re looking for resources, I have like two links I know I can find right now. Mostly this is a community topic, and you can watch people make maps on video sites like YouTube or TikTok. You’re less likely to find academic material about system mapping unless you’re looking for discussion about treatment or plain case studies, and I dislike contextualizing the exercise like they do.

I like the first link because they’re creative with it, which is great for visual aids. They also remind you that mapping isn’t for everymany/body, and that it’s okay not to do it or not include everyone.

The second isn’t specific to mapping, but has a bullet list I liked from another site that was more commercial.

A third one I thought about including but didn’t had some good reasons for mapping for integration (helping each other notice they’re connected, that there are reasons the system works like it does), but was more clinical.

Actually, I feel bad explaining it and not showing it, so you(&) choose if that sounds okay to you.

There are many larger articles which include aspects of system mapping, but reading them requires a lot of sifting and determining what is real to you(&) before you can make use of most of what’s written. It can help form opinions, and it will also send some cascading. If you look into the academic side, remember to look into the community side, too. You need both, just maybe not as early as mapping the system for the first time.

Poster paper is system mapping. Sand trays are system mapping. Roll calls are system mapping. Community meetings are system mapping. System mapping is getting to know your(&) system. You can’t really do it wrong, but I hope you got some ideas of where to start.

My Visual Method of Learning Japanese Kanji (漢字) part①

～ Let's Pair-up Similar-lookin' Characters Next to Each Other♥!～

There are many ways to learn Japanese. 📔

This way might not be effective or efficient (or even reasonable) for anyone else, but this is the visual approach that I'm currently developing + sharing for possibly any like-minded students it might resonate with!

Edit: It's all cleaned up for HD download on my ko-fi shop for free!

【Background】

At first, I did the standard 'write it down with repetition until you get it right' on flashcards, notebooks, etc. and I don't think I ever got it 'right'ーevery optimistic attempt of "I'm gonna get in some daily lessons in today and successfully absorb this knowledge once and for all!!" was always accompanied with this state of... confusion? and being so, so overwhelmed that neither the meaning, the reading, the stroke order, nor even the appearance of the kanji stuck to me at all. I don't think I've ever made it past the list of N4 kanji, even though most words I come across tend to be scattered around the N3-N1 level whenever I check the dictionary.

I've tried studying them strictly in order of the listing / then tried loosely with some doodling / or even a cherry-nitpicky minimalistic approach; just-take-what-is-frequently-used-style... but there just seemed to be no end in sight. It's been a decade, and I still do not know a lot kanji。

『Issue①:』 I wanted to see ALL of the kanji displayed at once, instead of dreading the 'higher levels' hidden from the limited amount displayed at a time; be it from reference books, screen displays on websites or mobile applications, etc. It's definitely just a personal issue, I think haha I just didn't like the surprise sneak attack from so much identical kanji from differing levels that scrambles my brain everytime I encounter a doppelganger. And boy, there's a LOT of those (as you will see).

I thought about making a series of biiiig posters or scrolls I could stick up on a wall, like those kiddie info posters but completely filled with kanji as decoration + motivation + and a bit of a cheat sheet I could easily access at a glance. But just imagining over 2,000 jumbled characters looming over me while I work on my desk or seeing something like that first thing after waking up………feels a lot unsettling, I think-

『Issue②:』 They're often arranged according to their frequency of usage, stroke order, or general difficulty of the word. Although it's for practicality, it leaves the visual impact completely all over the place. I don't know if I have any underlying conditions that contribute to something trivial like this greatly bothering me past the point of productivity, but it's not even about aesthetics I have an issue with, I don't think? It's just...the arrangement feels so chaotic, or sometimes oddly restrictive that I keep getting distracted. It's like some kind of puzzle I've been trying to solve for 10 hours straight, but it's just me going in circles back to zero. Speaking of puzzles....

Maybe, to save physical space for literally thousands of characters, I thought about placing one kanji on each of a rubik's cube's faces. But that would take a ridiculous amount of cubes and printer ink/alternatively, manually cutting, pasting, and poorly writing very very tiny 0.5inch labels for...two thousand times, at least. By hand.

I'm still tempted to incorporate this idea in some way, but felt unmotivated and lazy with how flimsy and shoddy my handwritten labels were…also printer ink prices continue to be a goddang scam--

I've unfortunately never been a studious student, especially not when it comes to conventional learning methods. It tends to make me want to try ridiculous ideas to get around my own dysfunctionality, because the other option would be... to continue a system that doesn't work and be frustrated, and accomplish nothing; not even a smile.

I am learning Japanese out of my own free will, so I wanted to have fun with itーbecause the whole concept of kanji seems really fun in theory!�� but not so much in attempted practice as a clueless outsider with no knowledge or means apart from the standard English reading and writing system. I'm a little envious of my chinese friends also learning Japanese having a bit of a headstart with the writing system's origins...

Even if perceived as a complete waste of time by a lot of people, I still want to understand each individual character to be able to appreciate and greet them accordingly when I encounter them in the wild.

For fun☆!

【Conventional Systems】

For this project, I mostly took inspiration from other existing popular learning systems that many people use:

➊The standard N5-N1 System was alright, but I found myself tempted to skip straight to ～N3 where frequently used characters appeared more, despite being barely at the lowest N5 proficiency level myself. I wanted all the characters to be visibly accessible…but it got intensely overwhelming so fast. The hierarchal labeling also made finding a N1 character have this weird sense of pressure? Like, "oh sht , this word has N1 kanji. mY ELEMENTARY GRADE DUMBASS AIN'T SUPPOSED TO BE IN HERE--"

➋Then there's the pictograph potential. It's interesting, but I thought a lot of them were a little bit of a reach? haha it's basically a visual mnemonic, right? But other people's mnemonics usually have their 'creative logic' that my own may not agree with, so I just end up getting distracted with the internal logic of the image and how it correlates to the kanji instead of absorbing any actual information. I think it has potential, but I'd need to personalize the visual imagery for it to be effective…or at least, have the mnemonic make enough sense to me and not be abstractly distracting. Even by then, the more strokes there are, the more convoluted it looks to even liken it to anything in the real world...Kanji by itself is already a pictogram, I guess...?

➌Then there's the beloved Heisig method. I liked the concept; the goal is for (mostly) foreigners to easily familiarize the 'look' of the kanji character and attach it to a singular meaning. But personally, it wasn't working with how much my brain was confusing every variation of similar-looking patterns that kept reappearing over a span of different pages of kanji, with the same radical appearing in different positions or orientations. Heisig's compilation was good in a sense that I could see a reoccurring pattern and it was most definitely less chaotic to look at now, but they continue to persist so far away from each other? Then adding that element of "the unknown" with kanji I've yet to encounter or seek out for being 'too advanced' with this doppelganger dilemma was driving me absolutely coconuts.

Plus, since it's a method created with absolute beginners in mind, it falls short with the lack of kun- and on- yomi readings…which were what I needed to learn the most.

I decided to combine these three ideas to make my own way.

【??? Personal System】

This system will continuously be developed from here on out until it can actually be functional, but so far, here's what's been done and being planned:

Apparently these were taken from 8+ months ago good lord-

I pretty much just lined up screenshots of a full kanji listing (I believe it was a Jouyou listing with some obsolete characters removed) and just...painstakingly played a Match-3 game, but irl, pretty much... and with more back pain

※Reference used to curate these kanji and their information are primarily from ①an app called 'Satori', and ②another app called 'Yomiwa'. Both apps source information from KANJIDIC and JMDict + mixed with a variety of online dictionaries to cross-reference and check for additional info.

I was working on and off on it because staring at nothing but kanji all day will probably make a few screws loose, but I generally continued anytime I was feeling a little down, stressed out, or just had free time. It was oddly therapeutic when I saw the finished arrangements, though. This feeling of "I can't tell if I like it or hate it" reminded me of my thesis days lmao

I had originally planned to put them on 3x3 rubik's cubes, so I initially had to group them by a full set of 9 characters. But the distribution was so unbalanced that each look-alike group was either lacking or exceeding in numbers, and trying to evenly incorporate 'leftovers' into the other groups just looked forced as hell, visually. So, I gave up on the rubik's cube concept and just tried to match at least a row of just 3 look-alikes to then ascend or descend in complexity with their other cousin-distant-lookalikes.

EXAMPLE:

人　大　木

person・big・tree

▲These three I would consider 'cousins'. I wouldn't classify them together in a row of 3 because there are far more identical characters, but after I gather all of each of their sibling groups, I'd most definitely arrange them next to each other in succession as if the 人 was growing more limbs.

太　大　犬

fat・big・dog

▲These three I would consider 'siblings'.

It reminds me of twins that only have differing beauty marks for distinction.

▲And these...are kinda cursed ngl, my double takes had to do their own double takes everytime I would finish grouping something to the 'tree radical' family, and suddenly spotting another one I could've sworn was the exact same character. It made me feel like I was going insane lol I know that the context showing the connecting hiragana is usually a dead giveaway on which kanji it is, regardless of how similar in appearance + how it's going to be read... but man. It's so surreal seeing them all lined up next to each other?? All I see is a forest-

Somewhere along the way, my brain remembered about the elemental periodic table and drew some layouting inspiration from there, too. Ideally, I would love to have all the information already present at a single glance with each character. But with the limited display space... assigning a chronological identification numbers on them for now is all I can do to help in navigating this wide, colorful kanji blanket.

I might've discarded a couple of archaic / overly complex kanji that no one really uses for this list at this moment, but in total, there appears to be 952 rows of trios. I may add or even remove more in the future.

= A total of 2,856 kanji have been included. Unless I miscounted somewhere-

my back hurts-

【Personal Limits + Goals】

I've been learning Japanese the same way I have Englishーvery, very informally; simply picking up what I hear and read in random places and applying them to how my brain interpreted their usage. It's literally like 'playing by ear', musically? except I'm tone deaf as hell-

There are some words (both Eng and Jp) that even I surprise myself when I know how to say it, or suddenly somehow using it during very specific situations, when I don't know how to define their exact meaning…or even to pronounce them correctly. Then there's very basic words that are so foreign to me because I have never personally heard or seen before, despite possibly being one of the first things teachers introduce in proper lessons I don't have the means or access to.

I can understand verbal Japanese just OK (some common dialects are recognizable too, just as long as it ain't extreme keigo-), my attempt at constructed sentences is weab-level at best... and my butchering of the intonations is an atrocity, but my biggest grievance is that I can't read most kanji I come across for the life of me without furigana. Even with it, it's usually too dang small in print to even read…

Basically the nutshell of my 'Japanese Reading Practice with Manga' series orz I was so worried about potential copyright infringements, but I misread everything, it just became transformative on its own--

※ADDITIONAL NOTE: There is the onyomi (Orig. Chinese reading used when compounding the character with another to create a word) and the kunyomi (general Japanese reading of the kanji) that I ranked as the 'most important' thing to learn for me...then there's their long-lost wayward sibling: Nanori for Japanese name readings.

It is a ｗｈｏｌｅ new world out there......and I'm good staying indoors, thanks- don't even get me started on kirakira name readings I will cry for those poor unfortunate souls deadass named things like 'PEGASUS' or 'ANGEL LOVE' as their government name good lord

Speaking of names, when I saw Kaedehara Kazuha's name (Genshin Impact) in kanji for the first time :

「楓原万葉」

I read it as "Kazewara Manba"💀he is Manba-kun to me now

ーEven though my overall Japanese proficiency is at kindergarten level next to my English, for now,

I want to improve at at least recognizing the correct kanji at a regular reading speedーwith no mistaken identities, frantic dictionary pulling-out, or furigana dependency necessary!★

And that's what I want to achieve first and foremost with...whatever this is I'm creating。

+ so I can read manga and novels in peace without constantly squinting at a magnifying glass orz also, online shtposting in the Jp meme side rly do hit different Speech fluency is kinda moot in my case because... I don't talk to anyone lol-

　〘ーand I'd like colors to accompany me!〙

『Issue③:』 Every Kanji list overview, regardless of arrangement or method, always gives me anxiety with how sharply white and black it is. That minimalistic uniformity forces you to depend on shapes alone to make inferences... but then you see sh*t like:

土　VS　士　

(dirt)・(samurai)

末　VS　未

(tip)・(sign of the sheep)

...where it's literally the subtlest of LINE LENGTH, a tiny splotch, or the more complex characters that don't even share the same radicals but because they both vaguely have a similar silhouette, they start looking confusing to the brain, I just...............colors are absolutely necessary!! At least, it is definitely the case for my very easily bamboozled noodle that demands distinctive visual variations! I am in the belief that shapes alone will not suffice to memorize the correct information when you have over 2,000 subjects to sift through that...literally-copied-each-other's-homework vibe. They kept gaslighting me throughout the process- Ask a Chinese or Japanese friend today if they're doing ok bc holy sht how do ya'll live like this, especially when web browsers tend to squash anything exceeding 14 strokes at regular display font sizes I-

I made something called 『ｺﾛﾚｯﾃKoroLife System』 (Kororette Life; a wish for a 'colorful life') that pushes more focus on the creative and productive use of colors and patterns for myself, initially for drawing composition purposes... but I found that it was something just as applicable with making everyday tasks way easier and fun to look at.

It eventually took over this project too, and finally gave me what I was looking forーinner peace with a lifetime of beef and animosity with kanji…but in style★

When I said I was a heavy visual learner... this is exactly what I meant-

So…this is my way of arranging nearly 3,000 kanji by rows of 3 visually identical characters that confuses my dyslexic 外人 dumdum the most + making use of colors for subcategorizing them according to their shapes. And, hey, they make for pretty neat stickers!

⇒[FREE TO DOWNLOAD!]

△contains x4 parts of higher quality of each quadrant (transparent bg) + this huge overview display map...or kanji blanket, however you see it as + the color grouping guide.

Unfortunately there's very little to make of it apart from a display, but as soon as I add some practicality to this system, I will compile them as well into the 0+ Resource Shop. For now, please feel free to personally use them however you like~! I'm already sticking 'em everywhere-

I divided them into 6 colored categories according to the character's overall perceived 'shape'*: ・Curves (orange)

・Sparks'n'mix (pink)

・Criss-crossing (dark blue)

・Lines (light blue)

・Cubes (yellow) ・囧ﾒ (violet)

・imperfect matches (green)

・Highlighted ones are stand-outs, or visually the easiest to digest (to me anyway).

＊these are very arbitrary classifications with flawed, subjective internal logic that has been revised multiple times over. (eg. Even if something has a curve, if I feel like the overall shape has lines that stand out more, then it's in the light blue category instead.)

And with that, I think I'll call it...

The「色々色 / IROIROIRO」 Method!! otherwise known as the 色³ for short!!!

■ 「色」・いろ・(Iro)

➊lit. Color, tint, hue, shade ➋kind, type, variant

■ 「々」・のま・同の字点 / どうのじてん・(noma / dou no jiten)

Kanji repetition mark; placed beside a repeating kanji.

■ 「色色 / 色々」 ・いろ・(Iroiro)

various, all sorts of

■「³」・３乗足す / さんじょうたす・３の立方 / さんのりっほう・(san jyou tasu / san no rihhou)

mathematical term.; Cubed, to the power of 3 pls don't ask me for the actual application specifics, I get a 3/10 average on my math tests-

It's a fun pun! Kinda.

【Preliminary Conclusion】

Is it an effective strategy to master Japanese kanji at all, though? Maybe not. At least, probably not just by this visual display alone. I honestly don't expect anyone else benefitting much from this project, but it personally really reinvigorated me to continue studying Japanese again after all these years. It's strange how something that caused me so much feelings of dread and anxiety for the majority of my early teen years suddenly feels so much fun to work with. All it needed was sleep deprivation, some touch of personalization, and a little bit of color!… ok, well, a lot of color-

It's a complete homebrew, unverified by anyone, and I guess a little insane, but I thought it turned out kinda cool anyway, so I thought I'd share it! What do you think? I'll write up an update about any further developments in this silly lil system the next time. I'm thinking of somehow fitting in all the definitions, readings, stroke orders, and maybe samples of their usage... but also in style★ somehow-

We'll workshop it, even if it takes another additional 8 months!!!

Until then! バイバイ(￣▽￣)／

[commodorez]

What kind of work can be done on a commodore 64 or those other old computers? The tech back then was extremely limited but I keep seeing portable IBMs and such for office guys.

I asked a handful of friends for good examples, and while this isn't an exhaustive list, it should give you a taste.

I'll lean into the Commodore 64 as a baseline for what era to hone in one, let's take a look at 1982 +/-5 years.

A C64 can do home finances, spreadsheets, word processing, some math programming, and all sorts of other other basic productivity work. Games were the big thing you bought a C64 for, but we're not talking about games here -- we're talking about work. I bought one that someone used to write and maintain a local user group newsletter on both a C64C and C128D for years, printing labels and letters with their own home equipment, mailing floppies full of software around, that sorta thing.

IBM PCs eventually became capable of handling computer aided design (CAD) work, along with a bunch of other standard productivity software. The famous AutoCAD was mostly used on this platform, but it began life on S-100 based systems from the 1970s.

Spreadsheets were a really big deal for some platforms. Visicalc was the killer app that the Apple II can credit its initial success with. Many other platforms had clones of Visicalc (and eventually ports) because it was groundbreaking to do that sort of list-based mathematical work so quickly, and so error-free. I can't forget to mention Lotus 1-2-3 on the IBM PC compatibles, a staple of offices for a long time before Microsoft Office dominance.

CP/M machines like Kaypro luggables were an inexpensive way of making a "portable" productivity box, handling some of the lighter tasks mentioned above (as they had no graphics functionality).

The TRS-80 Model 100 was able to do alot of computing (mostly word processing) on nothing but a few AA batteries. They were a staple of field correspondence for newspaper journalists because they had an integrated modem. They're little slabs of computer, but they're awesomely portable, and great for writing on the go. Everyone you hear going nuts over cyberdecks gets that because of the Model 100.

Centurion minicomputers were mostly doing finances and general ledger work for oil companies out of Texas, but were used for all sorts of other comparable work. They were multi-user systems, running several terminals and atleast one printer on one central database. These were not high-performance machines, but entire offices were built around them.

Tandy, Panasonic, Sharp, and other brands of pocket computers were used for things like portable math, credit, loan, etc. calculation for car dealerships. Aircraft calculations, replacing slide rules were one other application available on cassette. These went beyond what a standard pocket calculator could do without a whole lot of extra work.

Even something like the IBM 5340 with an incredibly limited amount of RAM but it could handle tracking a general ledger, accounts receivable, inventory management, storing service orders for your company. Small bank branches uses them because they had peripherals that could handle automatic reading of the magnetic ink used on checks. Boring stuff, but important stuff.

I haven't even mentioned Digital Equipment Corporation, Data General, or a dozen other manufacturers.

I'm curious which portable IBM you were referring to initially.

All of these examples are limited by today's standards, but these were considered standard or even top of the line machines at the time. If you write software to take advantage of the hardware you have, however limited, you can do a surprising amount of work on a computer of that era.

"Everything You Need to Know About Thermal Paper: A Guide by Parthivi Labels and Paper"

Welcome to the ultimate guide to thermal paper, brought to you by Parthivi Labels and Paper! Whether you're a business owner, a printer, or someone interested in the world of labels and receipts, thermal paper plays an important role in many industries. Let’s dive into what thermal paper is, its uses, and why choosing the right type of thermal paper is essential for your business.

What is Thermal Paper?

Thermal paper is a special type of paper that is coated with a chemical layer that changes color when exposed to heat. Unlike regular paper, thermal paper doesn't require ink or toner for printing. Instead, a thermal printer applies heat to the surface of the paper, causing it to react and form the text or images.

Thermal paper is commonly used in receipt printers, barcode labels, and point of sale (POS) systems due to its convenience and cost-effectiveness.

Types of Thermal Paper

At Parthivi Labels and Paper, we offer a variety of thermal paper products to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Here's a breakdown of the different types of thermal paper:

Standard Thermal Paper

Used in most receipt printers and POS systems.

Ideal for short-term use as it tends to fade over time when exposed to light or heat.

Top coated Thermal Paper

Has an additional coating to protect the print from fading.

Ideal for applications that require longer-lasting prints like shipping labels and tickets.

Black Thermal Paper

Features a black color as opposed to the standard white or cream.

Often used in specialty printing like high-end tickets or custom receipts.

Eco-friendly Thermal Paper

Coated without harmful chemicals like BPA.

A great option for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental impact.

Why is Thermal Paper So Popular?

Thermal paper is widely used in various industries for several reasons:

Efficiency: Thermal printers are fast and require no ink, making them cheaper to maintain.

Cost-Effective: The simplicity of thermal printing cuts down on the costs of ink cartridges, toners, and ribbons.

Durability: Thermal paper prints are resistant to smudging, and the print quality remains clear under normal use (though it can fade if exposed to excessive light or heat).

Space-Saving: With no ink or toner cartridges, thermal printers are often more compact, making them ideal for smaller spaces.

How Does Thermal Paperwork?

Thermal paper has a special heat-sensitive coating that reacts when exposed to the heat generated by a thermal printer’s print head. As the print head heats up specific areas of the paper, the chemicals in the coating turn black, creating the printed image or text.

Tips for Choosing the Right Thermal Paper

When selecting thermal paper for your business, it's important to consider the following factors:

Printer Compatibility: Ensure that the thermal paper rolls fit your printer’s specifications (e.g., size, diameter).

Print Duration: If you need prints that last longer, opt for top-coated thermal paper or eco-friendly options.

Environmental Considerations: Look for BPA-free thermal paper if sustainability is important to your business.

At Parthivi Labels and Paper, we specialize in high-quality, BPA-free thermal paper options that are perfect for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising quality.

How to Store Thermal Paper

Proper storage is essential to maintain the quality of your thermal paper. To keep your paper in the best condition:

Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

Avoid exposure to chemicals like cleaning agents or oils.

Keep thermal paper rolls in their original packaging until you're ready to use them.

"Eco-solvent inks in 2024: sustainability and high quality change the printing industry"

In an era where environmental concerns are at the forefront, the emergence of eco-solvent ink represents a significant milestone in the printing industry.

Unlike its counterparts, UV and water-based inks, eco-solvent ink is a composition of non-toxic solvents and natural pigments.

Please take note: a remarkable 50% of its components derive from renewable resources. With a minimal volatile organic compound (VOC) content, this ink is virtually odorless.

The Birth of Eco-Solvent Ink:

Since the advent of inkjet printers in the 1990s, the ink industry has grappled with toxicity, irritation, and high pollution.

However, through three generations of technological evolution and the relentless efforts of scientists, the printing world has been introduced to a game-changer – the non-toxic, non-irritating, and odorless eco-solvent ink. It signifies the industry's definitive break from the stigma of high pollution associated with traditional printing practices.

Cost Control and Print Quality of Eco-Solvent Ink:

The high cost of traditional inks has long been a bone of contention in the printing industry. Eco-solvent ink has opened a window of opportunity, epitomized by the phrase “a long slope with thick snow.” The substantial investment required yields a steady and stable return. Boasting excellent adhesion and vibrant color, eco-solvent ink has solidified its position in an era where print quality is a critical differentiator.

Applications of Eco-Solvent Ink:

A chasm exists between traditional inks and eco-solvent inks in the industry. The market for eco-solvent inks spans a wide range, from outdoor billboards to textile banners and car stickers, showcasing its boundless adaptability. It also defines the contours of modern printing practices:

Indoor and outdoor advertising and signage printing Automobile body stickers and wraps Industrial labeling and packaging printing Textile and eco-friendly fabric printing

Amidst the daunting challenges, from increasingly stringent regulations to technological iterations, our company, Panjet(https://www.pan-jet.com/), remains committed to the path of green and sustainable development. We stand as your provider of high-quality printing ink solutions.

Re: genre, typologies, Jews, degenerate art... some stray thoughts that I did not have space to develop further in the Michael Mannzine but that will probably be the subject of future investigations:

The font that is used in the Heat poster appears to be off one of those Dymo label printers. Back in the day they looked like this:

Not quite as intimidating as a Colt or a Beretta but you get the metaphor. In fact if you pay close attention to any Mann film you will notice just how much thematic belaboring is done on language, communication, categorization, the technologies and bureaucracies that mediate their application. The physical spaces and situations in which information gets exchanged. Even the very granular stylistic idiosyncrasies (vocabulary, slang, tone, intonation, gesture) that differentiate how individuals perform talk.

One of the things that jumped out at me when I watched Heat for the first time is that Vincent uses some bizarre slang terms that have no indexing in ordinary speech or trade jargon, e.g. "large-type" and "regular-type." Nobody really remarks upon how out of place these descriptors are considering he works for the LAPD and not a print or publishing company. They're far from the only examples of what I've started referring to as "Mannologisms" — irruptions of recurrent dialogue-weirdness or not-quite-rightness that I think most viewers either don't notice or write off as irrelevant. But I believe they are very significant in the subtextual gestalt.

You may recall that Mann hates the S-word and I suspect it's his own heritage and knowledge of history that makes it especially repellent to him. So much of Heat is secretly about the implicit violence of binary classification, insider/outsider, normative/degenerate, winner/loser, and the zero-sum games we perpetrate in order to enforce these boundaries. I keep thinking about Wittgenstein's notebooks, Otto Weininger and "self-hatred," fin-de-siècle antisemitism and the smears deployed against Jewish artists in Western Europe: That we are biological and civic aliens lacking the volkisch spirit with which to produce original and authentic works of true creative genius; that with our cold, calculating, parasitic minds we are capable only of replication, mimicry, a detached and destructive analysis that can only annihilate whatever culture it seeks to understand and represent. I think about the uproar in the 60s and 70s about a "Jewish Literary Mafia" allegedly controlling publishing/academia in the US (it's not quite what it sounds like). And it becomes hard not to envision Neil and Vincent as allegorical embodiments of the artist as author and critic.

DIY Postage Stamp Coasters

Project by Kate Pruitt:

I’m getting ready to go running off to complete the zillion post-holiday errands I have on my plate, but I decided I simply must add the supplies for this project to my shopping list. Jessica is a graphic designer by trade, which is clear to see from her choice of prints for these adorable coasters that she whipped up in no time.  Jessica found these images on the Flickr site of Karen Horton. Karen has amassed a treasure trove of amazing images of old postage stamps and labels. With a few simple materials, Jessica fashioned these “jumbo stamp” fabric coasters, complete with perfectly pinked edges.

This is the perfect project for a laid-back weekend, especially because Jessica and Karen have graciously made the stamp designs available for download. I can’t wait to make little sets of these for holiday gifts as I huddle next to my space heater:) Thank you for sharing your awesome project, Jessica! And thank you to Karen for sharing your images as well. —Kate

Materials:

White felt

White cotton fabric

Iron-on transfer paper, available at office supply stores

Postage stamp images

App Showcase: Navigator

The Asspull IIIx Navigator is built into the system BIOS and provides disk management features.

(Seen above: the main Navigator screen in the middle of a redesign. To the left is a list of files, which is supposed to be several columns of only names. To the right is information about the currently selected file and the disk it's on, and blank panels for information on any cartridge that may be inserted and the system itself.)

All actions except for entering a directory or running an application may be executed via the function key bar along the bottom, though several aren't available just yet.

Change which drive to show.

Change the selected file's attributes (the black letters in the top right corner).

View the file — the Enter key also works so I might remove this to make room for another feature.

Edit the file — only plain text files can be edited though.

Copy the selected file to another path.

Rename or move the selected file.

Make a new directory.

Delete the selected file.

Print the selected file. This only works on plain text files (though there are some escape codes) because of the A3X's companion printer's limitations.

Change the system configuration

Holding the Alt key, this changes:

Copy the diskette.

Format it.

Change its volume label.

?

?

?

?

?

Change the system time.

See detailed system information.

(Seen above: the text file viewer in plain and hex modes.)

API files are AssPull Images, a bespoke format. The Navigator can view them, with full support for all the format's features, because this is a BIOS function.

FNT files are... exactly that. Fonts. There is no real viewer per se, but trying to do so will load that font into VRAM, replacing the default until a restart.

LOC files are Locale information. Again, there's no real viewer, but like fonts you can just press Enter to activate them. This changes the names of months and days, currency, time and date formats, and keyboard mapping.

(Seen above: the work-in-progress editor based on kilo. A custom font, mOsOul, has been loaded beforehand.)

START.CFG specifically lets you preload a font and/or locale on boot, before the Navigator even gets a turn.

There's also a screensaver. It's Starfield, from Windows.
