This Place is Not a Place of Honor: Sandia Report Marginalia

     The text is from one of the two major US Department of Energy reports for creating long term nuclear waste warning messages, specifically the report from 1993 for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant by Sandia National Laboratories. I annotated onto screenshots of the pages rather than on paper, since it's become easier for me to keep track of online sources than physical ones. These pages establish the requirements of any warning message, as presented by two different teams on the WIPP panel, and come relatively early in the  report. It's interesting to draw parallels between what the Sandia report deems important and the requirements of earlier efforts in the field of Nuclear Semiotics, and my notes are somewhat about assessing the team's design solutions and comparing them to other proposed markers.










[The Knightly Hub] Novel Marginalia

 

       I must admit, this is rather poorly scanned, but featured above is an excerpt from Dan Jones' novel The Templars: The Rise and Spectacular Fall of God's Holy Warriors. More specifically, this is taken from the first appendix in which he summarizes the major characters of Templar history. This page in particular addresses many figures which had a hand in the Templars' demise and other must-mentions. The majority of what I have written is just simple notes that either elaborate upon a figure or clarify where they fit on a timeline. Those circled are figures which I am already quite familiar with and plan/planned to mention in posts, as they most often come up in general research.
