The network closet is only about 30cm wider and twice as long as what you see in this photo. It has its own aircon which runs constantly, keeping the room at about 19C. The second UPS in the photo actually feeds the circuit to the 4 outlets at my desk. To the right is the cabinet where I store all of my camera equipment.
Here is the latest immersion view of the room.
Hers has 10x as many synapses as mine. (at one week old here)
Much of the human brain’s power derives from its massive synaptic interconnectivity. Geoffrey West from the Santa Fe Institute observed that across species, synapses/neuron fan-out grows as a power law with brain mass. — from my little WIRED piece, Celebrate the Child-like Mind.
Genevieve is reading one of my favorite books, Alison Gopnik's Scientitst in the Crib: "Babies are just plain smarter than we are, at least if being smart means being able to learn something new.... They think, draw conclusions, make predictions, look for explanations and even do experiments…. In fact, scientists are successful precisely because they emulate what children do naturally."
Babies signal their interest in things by where they focus their gaze, and that shifts over time as their brain develops. This observable locus of attention is a gateway into their developing mind. At birth, much of the sensory cortex is bootstrapping the vision system, from the color space to distance vision and initially edge detection.
In a fetus, the initial inter-neuronal connections, or dendritic "wiring" of the brain, grow along chemical gradients, densely filling all available space, and exploring approximately 500 possible connections for each ultimate synapse formation. The massive number of inter-neuron connections in an adult brain could not be simply encoded in our DNA, even if the entire DNA sequence was dedicated to this one task. There are on the order of 100 trillion synaptic connections between 86 billion neurons in your brain.
This incredibly complex system is not 'installed' like an app from your DNA. It is grown, first through widespread connectivity sprouting from 'static storms' of positive electro-chemical feedback, and then through the pruning of many underused connections through continuous usage-based feedback.
For example, you have the adage “neurons that fire together, wire together” and the process of nearest neighbor associations in the vision system begin even before the rods and cones see light, and then continue after birth in a critical period of development.
At the age of 2 to 3 years old, humans hit their peak with over a quadrillion synaptic connections, 15x the adult brain, and twice the energy burn.

The 1990s were a time of transition with passenger trains carrying a hotch potch of liveries. Some of Newton Heath’s units carried B.R. Provincial livery with slight modifications, as here with this one called Network North West, which simply had a splash of orange and a new logo added. 150211 forms a Barrow – Preston service calling at Grange-over-Sands in May 1993.
Speakers Micheline Sheehy Skeffington, Niamh Bushnell, Orla O’Connor, Olwen Dawe, Keelin Shanley and Danielle Ryan were pictured at Network Ireland’s annual International Women’s Day Celebrations that took place today, Friday 6th March at Trinity College Dublin.

There are 4 main subnets in my home network:
Main - Green cables connect all main subnet components. This includes a 24 port 1GbE switch and a 12 port 10GbE switch connected via a 10GbE SFP+ cable. This is the main network of my home connecting all computers, printers, wifi APs, Media Players, and a Buffalo Terastation NAS which acts as the media server.
Guest - Yellow cables connect guest connections to half of a 24 port 1GbE switch. Yellow cable also connects the guest VLAN to the main network access points. This subnet is isolated from the rest of the network.
Surveillance - Blue cables connect all video surveillance equipment to a 16 port 1GbE POE switch. This includes wiring for 10 security cameras and a Synology RS814+ NAS containing 4 WD 3TB SE WD3000F9YZ HDD. Currently have 8 HIK Vision security cameras running, 5 DS-2CD2032-I 4mm bullet cameras and 3 DS-2CD2132F-I 2.8mm dome cameras.
MODnet - Orange cables connect 4 set top boxes to the WAN through a 5 port 1GbE Switch for China Telecom Movie on Demand Internet TV service.
Interweb - Red Cables are outside of my network, which includes connection to the modem and the community network.
Concerning the photo, its another version using the 35mm Cron. Took a different approach with lighting this time using two flood lights. The shot is an overlay of several HDR tonemap images over an exposure fusion from a 5 shot 1EV step bracket. Post processing is very different from previous approaches, though not sure if I like it better or not...
Network Rail 153311 seen at Worting Junction working 2Q10 Ferme Park Recp. to Eastleigh East Yard at 17:25
At Holme Green crossing on 30th March 2021, Great Northern Class 365 No.365520 leads sister unit 365534 on the 1P05 0637 Peterborough to London King's Cross. The pair have just recently departed Biggleswade station.
Brown line is the second colour to gain a pair of Tridents in each of the two versions of Network livery. Some pictures I saw when looking for references for the buses show Solo SRs and original livery Tridents working at the same time, so if the original version of the livery lasted until the withdrawal of those brown Tridents, the new livery must have been applied only to a bus (or buses) added to network brown at a later date to increase frequencies.
Coach 62287 is pictured on the 'Thunderbird' siding at Newcastle Central, forming part of Network Rail's Ultrasonic Test Unit, on July 9th 2024.

Dublin (/ˈdʌblᵻn/, Irish: Baile Átha Cliath [blʲaːˈklʲiəh]) is the capital and largest city of Ireland.[8][9] Dublin is in the province of Leinsteron Ireland's east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey. The city has an urban area population of 1,273,069.[10] The population of the Greater Dublin Area, as of 2011, was 1,801,040 persons.
Founded as a Viking settlement, the Kingdom of Dublin became Ireland's principal city following the Norman invasion. The city expanded rapidly from the 17th century and was briefly the second largest city in the British Empire before the Acts of Union in 1800. Following the partition of Ireland in 1922, Dublin became the capital of the Irish Free State, later renamed Ireland.
Dublin is administered by a City Council. The city is listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as a global city, with a ranking of "Alpha-", placing it among the top thirty cities in the world.[11][12] It is a historical and contemporary centre for education, the arts, administration, economy and industry.
Toponymy
Although the area of Dublin Bay has been inhabited by humans since prehistoric times, the writings of Ptolemy (the Greco-Roman astronomer and cartographer) in about 140 AD provide possibly the earliest reference to a settlement there. He called the settlement Eblana polis (Greek: Ἔβλανα πόλις).[13]
Dublin celebrated its 'official' millennium in 1988 AD, meaning that the Irish government recognised 988 AD as the year in which the city was settled and that this first settlement would later become the city of Dublin.
The name Dublin comes from the Gaelic word Dublind, early Classical Irish Dubhlind/Duibhlind, dubh /d̪uβ/, alt. /d̪uw/, alt /d̪u:/ meaning "black, dark", and lind /lʲiɲ[d̪ʲ] "pool", referring to a dark tidal pool where the River Poddle entered the Liffey on the site of the Castle Gardens at the rear of Dublin Castle. In Modern Irish the name is Duibhlinn, and Irish rhymes from Dublin County show that in Dublin Leinster Irish it was pronounced Duílinn /d̪ˠi:lʲiɲ/. The original pronunciation is preserved in the names for the city in other languages such as Old English Difelin, Old Norse Dyflin, modern Icelandic Dyflinn and modern Manx Divlyn as well as Welsh Dulyn. Other localities in Ireland also bear the name Duibhlinn, variously anglicized as Devlin,[14] Divlin[15] and Difflin.[16]Historically, scribes using the Gaelic scriptwrote bh with a dot over the b, rendering Duḃlinn or Duiḃlinn. Those without knowledge of Irish omitted the dot, spelling the name as Dublin. Variations on the name are also found in traditionally Gaelic-speaking areas (the Gàidhealtachd, cognate with Irish Gaeltacht) of Scotland, such as An Linne Dhubh ("the black pool"), which is part of Loch Linnhe.
It is now thought that the Viking settlement was preceded by a Christian ecclesiastical settlement known as Duibhlinn, from which Dyflin took its name. Beginning in the 9th and 10th century, there were two settlements where the modern city stands. The Viking settlement of about 841 was known as Dyflin, from the Irish Duibhlinn, and a Gaelic settlement, Áth Cliath ("ford of hurdles") was further up river, at the present day Father Mathew Bridge (also known as Dublin Bridge), at the bottom of Church Street. Baile Átha Cliath, meaning "town of the hurdled ford", is the common name for the city in modern Irish. Áth Cliath is a place name referring to a fording point of the River Liffey near Father Mathew Bridge. Baile Átha Cliath was an early Christian monastery, believed to have been in the area of Aungier Street, currently occupied by Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church. There are other towns of the same name, such as Àth Cliath in East Ayrshire, Scotland, which is Anglicised as Hurlford.
The subsequent Scandinavian settlement centred on the River Poddle, a tributary of the Liffey in an area now known as Wood Quay. The Dubhlinn was a small lake used to moor ships; the Poddle connected the lake with the Liffey. This lake was covered during the early 18th century as the city grew. The Dubhlinn lay where the Castle Garden is now located, opposite the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin Castle. Táin Bó Cuailgne ("The Cattle Raid of Cooley") refers to Dublind rissa ratter Áth Cliath, meaning "Dublin, which is called Ath Cliath".
Middle Ages
Dublin was established as a Viking settlement in the 10th century and, despite a number of rebellions by the native Irish, it remained largely under Viking control until the Norman invasion of Ireland was launched from Wales in 1169.[17]The King of Leinster, Diarmait Mac Murchada, enlisted the help of Strongbow, the Earl of Pembroke, to conquer Dublin. Following Mac Murrough's death, Strongbow declared himself King of Leinster after gaining control of the city. In response to Strongbow's successful invasion, King Henry II of England reaffirmed his sovereignty by mounting a larger invasion in 1171 and pronounced himself Lord of Ireland.[18] Around this time, the county of the City of Dublin was established along with certain liberties adjacent to the city proper. This continued down to 1840 when the barony of Dublin City was separated from the barony of Dublin. Since 2001, both baronies have been redesignated the City of Dublin.
Dublin Castle, which became the centre of Norman power in Ireland, was founded in 1204 as a major defensive work on the orders of King John of England.[19] Following the appointment of the first Lord Mayor of Dublin in 1229, the city expanded and had a population of 8,000 by the end of the 13th century. Dublin prospered as a trade centre, despite an attempt by King Robert I of Scotland to capture the city in 1317.[18] It remained a relatively small walled medieval town during the 14th century and was under constant threat from the surrounding native clans. In 1348, the Black Death, a lethal plague which had ravaged Europe, took hold in Dublin and killed thousands over the following decade.[20][21]
Dublin was incorporated into the English Crownas the Pale, which was a narrow strip of English settlement along the eastern seaboard. The Tudor conquest of Ireland in the 16th century spelt a new era for Dublin, with the city enjoying a renewed prominence as the centre of administrative rule in Ireland. Determined to make Dublin a Protestant city, Queen Elizabeth I of England established Trinity College in 1592 as a solely Protestant university and ordered that the Catholic St. Patrick's and Christ Church cathedrals be converted to Protestant.[22]
The city had a population of 21,000 in 1640 before a plague in 1649–51 wiped out almost half of the city's inhabitants. However, the city prospered again soon after as a result of the wool and linen trade with England, reaching a population of over 50,000 in 1700.
Early Modern
As the city continued to prosper during the 18th century, Georgian Dublin became, for a short period, the second largest city of the British Empire and the fifth largest city in Europe, with the population exceeding 130,000. The vast majority of Dublin's most notable architecture dates from this period, such as the Four Courtsand the Custom House. Temple Bar and Grafton Street are two of the few remaining areas that were not affected by the wave of Georgian reconstruction and maintained their medieval character.
Dublin grew even more dramatically during the 18th century, with the construction of many famous districts and buildings, such as Merrion Square, Parliament House and the Royal Exchange.[22] The Wide Streets Commissionwas established in 1757 at the request of Dublin Corporation to govern architectural standards on the layout of streets, bridges and buildings. In 1759, the founding of the Guinness brewery resulted in a considerable economic gain for the city. For much of the time since its foundation, the brewery was Dublin's largest employer.
Late Modern
Dublin suffered a period of political and economic decline during the 19th century following the Act of Union of 1800, under which the seat of government was transferred to the Westminster Parliament in London. The city played no major role in the Industrial Revolution, but remained the centre of administration and a transport hub for most of the island. Ireland had no significant sources of coal, the fuel of the time, and Dublin was not a centre of ship manufacturing, the other main driver of industrial development in Britain and Ireland. Belfast developed faster than Dublin during this period on a mixture of international trade, factory-based linen cloth production and shipbuilding.
The Easter Rising of 1916, the Irish War of Independence, and the subsequent Irish Civil War resulted in a significant amount of physical destruction in central Dublin. The Government of the Irish Free State rebuilt the city centre and located the new parliament, the Oireachtas, in Leinster House. Since the beginning of Normanrule in the 12th century, the city has functioned as the capital in varying geopolitical entities: Lordship of Ireland (1171–1541), Kingdom of Ireland (1541–1800), island as part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801–1922), and the Irish Republic (1919–1922). Following the partition of Ireland in 1922, it became the capital of the Irish Free State(1922–1937) and now is the capital of Ireland. One of the memorials to commemorate that time is the Garden of Remembrance.
Dublin was also victim to the Northern IrishTroubles. While during this 30 year conflict, violence mainly engulfed Northern Ireland. However, the Provisional IRA drew a lot of support from the Republic, specifically Dublin. This caused a Loyalist paramilitary group the Ulster Volunteer Force to bomb the city. The most notable of atrocities carried out by loyalists during this time was the Dublin and Monaghan bombings in which 34 people died, mainly in Dublin itself.
Since 1997, the landscape of Dublin has changed immensely. The city was at the forefront of Ireland's rapid economic expansion during the Celtic Tiger period, with enormous private sector and state development of housing, transport and business.

To explain this picture I will better start from the beginning. Well I was watching Styling Forward yesterday and they get a challenge for next week what I liked a lot and even I am not in this contest I like challenges a lot. So I decided for myself I do this one just for fun.
The challenge was "Superhero" and may some have a superhero in mind like a girl in very tight short pants and a cape and maybe some with big boobs also, but for me a superhero is someone very tough even if it is a woman. Superheros are fighter, protector and I tried to create my view of a superhero with this kind of mystique, darkness and a bit creepy around her.
My character is named "Isais the Hunter" as she protect all human from creatures out of the hell who comes up to rule the world in their way.
Isais is born out of exactly that what she tries to destroy now. She is a creature out of the hell but with a human mother. As all heros have a little helper, hers is the dead dragon Makrok on her shoulder to give her tips and sometimes the right decision also. And as it is in comics, of course he is talking to much^^
Isais weapons are her power who are more strong then of a normal human, her titanium katanas what she always wears on her left hip with skulls at the end and her, she calls it her "Babies", the Sickles what she wears on her back if she don´t need them.
As I know that this challenge is next week I will not write some credits below. So it is just a picture to watch and to enjoy :D

I was going to title this one "working the room" but thought that might imply something less than honorable so I'm not going to call it "working the room"
I can't recall where this illustration came from. It might be a detail from a magazine story or possibly an ad. Going thru some old stuff and seeing what I've saved.
