Im finally free!! All these images are the Araneae section of my dissertation. Thanks for all the comments on my pics folks ill catch up over the weekend. Im off to forest of dean tomorrow for a walk with Iolo :)
I celebrated last night with friends down he beach and feels like such a weight has been lifted!
The first dissertation to be ever presented by a graduating student to both the university and Macedonian art society. This event led directly to Maja's early introduction to the society.
Coming soon, the design of my dissertation. It's all about how magazines are being affected by the increasing online activity and the affect that this is having on existing printed magazines.
From an unpublished 1909 dissertation I found. I've always loved the look of math on paper, and this one is clearly a poem, though the symbolism and metaphor are beyond my reading level.
I can barely imagine what it was like to lay out 100+ pages of type like this in 1909. How long would that have taken a person to do? I don't think I'd have the patience. Too many tiny pieces of metal to line up perfectly.
The best character in it is clearly the [what's it really called?] squiggly snake seen, for example, in the 6th line after "where the".
Anyone care to enlighten me?
How about this: anyone care to translate this into poetry? NOT explain it as math, but come up with meaning based on the shapes and layout of what's printed.
I think this was supposed to be a few weeks ago, but hey better late than never right? Not sure I like this new format though ;/

The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I.
The Limited Edition collection honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Aztec culture, and the influence of one of its great leaders, Moctezuma I.
Every spring since 1992, Montblanc introduces the Patron of Art pen collection which pays tribute to those who exemplify the importance of art patronage throughout the world. The stellar names include Peggy Guggenheim, Pope Julius II and the latest being Roman emperor Publius Aelius Hadrianus. The Homage to Hadrian pen collection features gold-coated cones and cap tops, a reflection of the Roman buildings commissioned by Hadrian. This year’s Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I continues to be a fantastic example of Montblanc’s expertise in pen making.
Moctezuma I (1398-1469) also known as Moctezuma Ilhuicamina was the second Aztec emperor and fifth king of Tenochtitlan, ruling from 1440 to 1469. Under his reign, Tenochtitlan, which is now the center of Mexico City, blossomed thanks to social, economical and political reforms. The limited edition designs are released as part of the Patron of Art Homage that honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Moctezuma I. To coincide with the release of the Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Editions, Montblanc is introducing a fine stationery notebook in red calfskin Saffiano leather embossed with traditional Aztec motifs.
The latest Montblanc Patron of the Art Limited Edition 2020 collection is their Ode to Moctezuma 1 the ruler, who has shaped the image of Aztec culture and remains a great inspiration to write our own legacy. I really hope that the glyphs that are on the side of the fountain pen were chosen for their content and not just for an artistic flair. Contacting a Mayan scholar such as Floyd G Lounsbury would have upgraded their end product. I will try to locate and contact his colleagues to spread the word as they should have sufficiently deep pockets to drop the penny. Limited to 87 pieces.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Lounsbury
Beginning in 1938 with his contributions to the Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Oneida Language and Folklore Project, while he was still an undergraduate, Floyd Lounsbury sustained a lifelong interest in indigenous languages—especially those, such as Oneida and Cherokee, in the Iroquoian family. His doctoral dissertation, published in 1953 as Oneida Verb Morphology, remains to this day the scholar’s bible for the basic structure and terminology of Iroquoian languages.
Iroquoian linguistics was not, however, Lounsbury’s only academic focus. He worked in acoustic phonetics and speech recognition; he refined new ways to teach linguistics, particularly with respect to field methods; he critiqued lexicostatistics and glottochronology; he wrote on the psychology of language; and he published on the history of anthropology. He was one of the most sought-after and influential anthropological linguists of his time.
Born and raised in Wisconsin farming communities, Lounsbury enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1932. He took nearly a decade to complete his undergraduate program because of the Great Depression’s economic necessities, but the extended period also allowed him to come in contact with a wide array of linguists and anthropologists and to adopt a thoughtful and measured approach to undergraduate education. Lounsbury majored in mathematics but also studied languages—primarily German but also Latin, Greek, Scandinavian languages, and Old Irish—along with phonetics, phonology, philology, and emerging theories of structuralist linguistics. After receiving his Ph.D. in anthropology from Yale University in 1949, Lounsbury accepted an appointment to its Department of Anthropology and remained at Yale until his retirement in 1979. Whether in classes, conferences, workshops, or personal conversation, Lounsbury’s students and colleagues considered him ever humble, generous, and insightful, with a prodigious memory for detail, a wide-ranging curiosity, and a formidable intellect.

Fountain Pen Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810. USD$13,000.00
Limited to 87 pieces.
www.montblanc.com/en-ca/collection/writing-instruments/pa...
Moctezuma I was crowned ruler of the great Aztec Empire in 1440, thereby ushering in the golden age of the Aztecs. During his reign, he shaped the image of the Aztec state that we are familiar with today – one rich in culture and mythology. The capital city of Tenochtitlán, today’s Mexico City, blossomed under his rule. The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810 with champagne-tone gold-coated fittings is dedicated to this supreme ruler of one of the most special cultures in world history. The overall design is inspired by an "atlatl", an Aztec spear-throwing device. The shape of the cone, refined with a hammer finish, is based on an Aztec sacrificial knife with an obsidian blade. The lacquer colors – petrol and carmine red – are inspired by the colors of the royal cloak. Two hieroglyphs decorating the cap symbolize the years of Moctezuma I's reign. The handcrafted Au 750 solid gold nib is adorned with a fine engraving inspired by the Aztec glyph for the city of Tenochtitlán: a three-armed cactus with a royal diadem and two scrolls.
Features
Clip: Champagne-tone gold-coated clip
Barrel: Red lacquered barrel
Cap: Pattern on cap underneath translucent petrol lacquer
NIB: Handcrafted Au 750 / 18 K solid gold, champagne-tone gold-coated nib with special design.
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 8
This edition, which comprises just eight pieces, is all about the pageantry of Moctezuma I and the Templo Mayor. The pen features an 18-karat champagne-tone gold cap whose elongated shape is set with diamonds, garnets, green tsavorites and multi-coloured sapphires. It is also decorated with a hand engraving of the winged Huitzilopochtli, patron god of the Aztecs.
Three-dimensional engravings of an eagle and cactus represent the foundation myth of the Aztec capital, while the two double-headed snakes symbolize renewal, fertility and luck. The spear-shaped clip is embellished with a triangular-cut green jade, and the cap crown sparkles with a Montblanc diamond. The barrel of the writing instrument is made of dark red jasper, with 18-karat champagne-tone gold inlays.
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 - 2020
This version is limited to just 87 pieces in homage to 1987, the year when the Templo Mayor was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list. The Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 employs turquoise, which is a familiar stone used in Aztec decoration, and Central American cocobolo wood, a reference to the material used to make the traditional atlatl.
The mosaic is handcrafted, making every one of the pieces in the edition unique. The mother-of-pearl Montblanc emblem is embedded in an engraving of a traditional Aztec sun disc on the cap crown.
The handcrafted 18-karat gold gold nib is engraved with a glyph denoting the heart, a symbol of sacrifice. A further glyph engraved represents the second name of Moctezuma I: Ilhuicamina (meaning, “He who shoots an arrow into the sky.”).
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 888
The colors of this edition–turquoise and carmine–were used in fashioning royal garments. The sterling silver pen cap is artfully engraved with a traditional Aztec décor, and the lacquered barrel is engraved with a pattern again reminiscent of Moctezuma I’s cloak. It features four lines in 18-karat champagne-tone gold, evoking the directions that radiated from the Templo Mayor, the main temple and the literal center of the Aztec world.
The spear-shaped clip features an engraving of a quetzal’s feather, and it is set with a triangular-cut green jade. The forepart of the writing instrument and the cone are crafted from sterling silver, contrasting with the 18-karat champagne-tone gold fittings and the handcrafted solid gold nib. The Montblanc emblem, made of mother-of-pearl, is embedded in the engraving of an Aztec sun disk.
On. The right: Montblanc 888 Edition estimate C$3-4,000.00 plus tax.

This is an Egard Watch Company - Quantus V3 Mayan Limited Edition wristwatch which arrived with a Rose Gold wrist band. It arrived with a black/blue rubber strap as well as a brown leather strap with a rose gold clasp.
I suggest that you visit their website to see their currently available products; and to search YouTube for Egard Watch Co. and the newscast discussing corporate reactions to their well done pro police video. They expected to ship our watch order in September 2020, but with COVID-19 being so active in California, we will not be surprised by a delay in shipping. It’s difficult to wait patiently as our expectations are so high. FedEx delivered it on Oct. 1, 2020. As anticipated we had to pay 13% GST taxes through FedEx to CBSA by phone before the delivery could be made. I’m thrilled with this purchase. I hope that it lasts my lifetime; and because of my age it likely will. It turned out to be too heavy for MAC to wear comfortably.
This watch curves around the wearer’s wrist. It normally ships with both a black rubber strap and a black leather strap, but because of our rose gold watch order, MAC ordered it with a brown leather strap. The black rubber strap is the default strap.
Limited Edition to 3,000 (made in limited batches). Mine is 2197/3000. As of Oct. 4, 2020 this watch in this colour is not shown for sale on their website.
Case size: 43mm.
Case Material: Two piece curved 316L stainless steel.
Strap Width: 22mm.
Movement: Modified dual balance wheel, Manual wind Mechanical movement made in collaboration with Jinghe Ind.
Glass: Uniquely curved sapphire crystal.
Strap: High grade rubber + additional free full grain italian leather strap.

Marylebone Railway Closure
Railwatch update from July 1986. I had joined the Railway Development Society earlier in the 1980s.
In 1985, I completed my geography degree dissertation! The Problems of Railway Closures, with reference to the proposed closure of the Marylebone - Amersham line.
'Looking at the frequent services operated today by Chiltern Railways, it seems hard to believe that the rail lines into Marylebone were once seriously considered for closure. Yet back in the mid-1980s under-utilization of the route led to proposals to convert the line into a dedicated bus route, with the site of Marylebone station being converted into a bus station, or sold off to raise an estimated £10 million. Today this proposal and others like it – such as a plan to convert much of what now forms London Overground north of the river into roads – are mostly forgotten. Yet for a time the possibility was very real, and London may have been left with a rail landscape very different from that which exists today.'

'British Rail formally announced plans to close Marylebone on 15 March 1984, pending a statutory consultation process, and closure notices were posted at the station. The proposals proved controversial and faced strong opposition from local authorities and the public, leading to a legal battle which lasted for two years. Despite the pending closure, passenger numbers only dropped by about 400 per day from 1968 levels. The conversion project proved impractical due to the headroom limitations on the line and the closure was quietly dropped.'
The station was revived under the control of the Network SouthEast sector of British Rail. The introduction of the inter-modal and unlimited use Capitalcard (now known as the Travelcard) led to a sharp rise in commuters into London, absorbing the spare capacity at Paddington and Baker Street and eliminating the possibility of Marylebone's services being diverted.'
'Marylebone was reprieved from the threat of closure on 30 April 1986, and an £85 million modernisation and refurbishment programme of the station and its services was granted. This was funded by selling part of the station to developers, including two of the original four platforms at the west of the station and the third span of the train shed. In order to replace these, the central cab road was removed, and two new platforms numbered 2 and 3 were created in its place. The run-down lines into Marylebone were modernised with new signalling and higher line speeds. In 1991, the fleet of Class 115 trains on local services was replaced by Class 165 Turbo trains, and service frequencies were increased. Services to Banbury were extended to the reopened Birmingham Snow Hill station in 1993, creating the first long-distance service into Marylebone since 1966. Initially this service ran at two-hourly intervals, but it proved popular and was increased to an hourly frequency in 1994.'

I like to think that my dissertation helped save the station and line in some small way :)
Her Dissertation was "Ultrafast Photochemistry of Aqueous Iron(III) Complexes". That is completely over my head of how it fits into everyday life but I am very proud of her.
My work as a writer and as an artist have been closely connected for the past five years as I've worked on jewelry design and my dissertation in the same physical, mental, and emotional spaces. Dissertation Amulet makes these interconnections explicit, commemorating a landmark in my writing process. I preserved segments of text from a recently completed chapter under glass cabochons in a design evocative of my aesthetics as a writer.

A great art group made this poster for the occasion of my dissertation. Likely someone's (c) has been infringed; ask the authors of the poster :)
For my upcoming dissertation I will have to do a lot of research, so to motivate myself to do it I made a special notebook. The pages are partly printed preparation, partly scrap paper I had at home from various old notebooks and school exercise books.
Daniel Hesse erhielt den Nachwuchswissenschaftlerpreis für Doktorandinnen und Doktoranden – neben seiner Dissertation arbeitet er als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter im Fachbereich Wasser, Umwelt Bau und Sicherheit unter Leitung von Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ettmer in diversen Forschungsprojekten.
