The railway arrived in 1930 in Bobo-Dioulasso and then in 1954 in Ouagadougou. It was initially operated by the Régie Abidjan-Niger (RAN) from 1960 to 1989 before being taken over by SITARAIL (Bolloré Group) in 1995. Despite an ambitious project to connect the different countries of the sub-region by the rail network, almost nothing lasting has been achieved to date apart from two sections currently abandoned.
The first is a section which was to connect Niamey to Parakou, then to the Beninese network, started in 2013 and decommissioned in 2018, which was limited to around a hundred kilometres within Niger.
The second is an ambitious project carried out by the Burkinabe people under the revolutionary regime of Captain Thomas SANKARA (1983-1987). This involved extending the Abidjan-Ouagadougou line towards Niger by serving the Tambao phosphate mines. If the platform was built over most of the distance, the rails could only be laid over a hundred kilometres to reach Kaya. The railway nevertheless operated for several years before being abandoned following the deterioration of specific watercourse crossing structures. Operation of this line is currently limited to the Kossodo industrial zone on the northeastern outskirts of Ouagadougou.
However, this infrastructure could arouse new interest because it passes close to the future Donsin International Airport. Establishing a rail service to avoid traffic jams would be an avenue to explore, primarily as the work to be carried out would be limited.
Le chemin de fer est arrivé en 1930 à Bobo-Dioulasso puis en 1954 à Ouagadougou. Il était initialement exploité par la Régie Abidjan-Niger (RAN) de 1960 à 1989 avant d'être reprise par SITARAIL (Goupe Bolloré) en 1995. Malgré un ambitieux projet de relier les différents pays de la sous-région par le réseau ferré, quasiment rien de durable n'a été réalisé jusqu'à ce jour en dehors de deux tronçons actuellement à l'abandon.
Le premier est un tronçon qui devait relier Niamey à Parakou puis au réseau béninois entamé en 2013 et mis hors service en 2018 qui s'est limité à une centaine de kilomètres au sein du Niger.
Le second est un projet ambitieux réalisé par le peuple burkinabé sous le régime révolutionnaire du Capitaine Thomas SANKARA (1983-1987). Il s'agissait de prolonger la ligne Abidjan-Ouagadougou vers le Niger en desservant les mines de phosphate de Tambao. Si le terreplein a été réalisé sur une majeure parte de la distance, les rails n'ont pu être posés que sur une centaine de kilomètres pour atteindre Kaya. Le chemin de fer a néanmoins fonctionné durant un certain nombre d'années avant d'être abandonné suite à la dégradation de certains ouvrages de franchissement de cours d'eau. L'exploitation de cet ligne se limite actuellement à la zone industrielle de Kossodo dans la périphérie nord-est de Ouagadougou.
Pourtant, cette infrastructure pourrait susciter un nouvel intérêt du fait qu'elle passe à proximité du futur aéroport international de Donsin. La mise en place d'une desserte ferroviaire qui permettrait d'éviter les embouteillages serait une piste à explorer, d'autant que les travaux à réaliser seraient limités.
This Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) learned through many training samples to recognize certain objects. The network consists of several consecutive layers that have learned during the training phase to recognize different characteristics in an image and pass on this information in turn to the next layer. While the first layers recognize more primitive characteristics such as straight lines, colors, and curves, the next layers specialize in more complex forms. The network VGG16 used here is one of the best-known models of this kind.

One of the famous landmarks in the "City of Stars" is the GMA Network Center, the main headquarters of the Kapuso network.
This structure was started to erect in 1996 as part of upgrading the network's old facilities and finished in 2000 as the station was celebrating its 50th year in the broadcast industry. Notable events happened on that building such as the rebranding of then "Rainbow Satellite Network" to today's "Kapuso Network (Kapuso Mo, Anumang Kulay ng Buhay" at the top of GMA Network Center. Aside from that, a monument was installed on the facade of the structure, and it was sculpted by Eduardo Castrillo in the same year (2000) depicting the network's leadership in the television and radio broadcast industry.

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.

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...

I refreshed my network corner today. Now a new ADSL modem from Bell becomes part of the infrastructure.
I seem to have missed the chapter that was Network Harlow but assume it has now been consigned to the dustbins of failed ideas. Arriva Optare Solo 1454 (YJ06 FXT) was the only Network branded bus I saw in the town on my visit yesterday, 5th February, 2018
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.

The Erewash Canal outside Sandiacre, in Derbyshire.
The canal was created following an act of parliament in 1777 with John Varley appointed as engineer and John and James Pinkerton the main contractors, it was completed in 1779 at a cost of £21,000 (£2,252,740 in modern money). It was a commercial success from the start mainly used to transport coal.
The canal's success kept it going far longer than many of its contemporaries in the face of competition from the railways. When the Grand Union Canal Company took over the running of the Erewash in 1932 it was still a going concern. The canal was nationalised in 1947. By this time the closure of feeder canals resulted in a loss of trade and competition from other forms of transport was making itself felt and the last commercial narrowboat delivered its cargo in 1952. In 1962 the British Transport Commission closed the top section of canal. However, it was kept in water to supply the lower half of the canal and it remained navigable.
In 1968 the Erewash Canal Preservation & Development Association (ECP&DA) was formed in response to a threat by the British Waterways Board to close the canal. One of the ECP&DA's achievements was the re-opening of the Great Northern Basin at Langley Mill. This canal basin was the point at which the Cromford, Erewash and Nottingham Canals met. The Langley Mill Boat Company formed in 1974 and based at the Great Northern Basin has cleared and put back into water a short section of the Cromford Canal connected to the basin.
Today the Erewash Canal is fully open and is actively used by pleasure cruisers. The towpath, which follows the eastern bank, carries Route 67 of the National Cycle Network between the Lawrence Street access and Stanton Lock where the cycle route diverges to follow the Nutbrook Valley. The canal is also regularly restocked with fish for anglers, and along the eastern tow path dozens of anglers are often seen.

Upgrades since last photo includes a new NAS with 10G SFP+ interface. The old Buffalo NAS is now used as an rsync backup destination. I also installed 2 19u rails to push out the bottom half of the rack by 6cm. This allows enough depth for NAS installation in bottom half and plenty of room for wire management in the top half. I think its done for now...
