Utrecht Centraal railway station
Utrecht Centraal, officially Station Utrecht Centraal (), is the transit hub with three bicycle parks, two bus stations, two tram stops and the central railway station for Utrecht, Netherlands. It is the biggest train station in the Netherlands. Both the railway station and the bus station are the largest and busiest in the Netherlands. The bicycle parking station on the east side is the largest in the world. The railway station has sixteen platform tracks (of which twelve are through tracks) and 207,360 passengers per day, excluding transfers. Because of its central location in the Netherlands, Utrecht Centraal is the most important railway hub of the country with more than 1,000 departures per day. History. The first railway station at the site was opened on December 18, 1843, when the Nederlandsche Rhijnspoorweg-Maatschappij opened the first station on Utrecht territory. In 1938, the station became the central station as the "Maliebaanstation", on the other side of the city, was closed and the line from Hilversum was diverted into the central station. The station building of 1865 remained in place, though a fundamental renovation was done in 1936. Two years later, a fire burned down most of the building, which was later rebuilt. The station building was demolished in the 1970s to make way for Hoog Catharijne, then Europe's largest enclosed shopping mall, which opened on 17 December 1973. From that moment onwards, the station no longer had a real entrance; the passageways of the shopping mall just continued into the station. In 1989 the station hall was enlarged (tripling the original size) to increase capacity. In 1995, the station hall was again enlarged, with a new platform. Between 2011 and 2016, the station underwent a major reconstruction as one of the NSP projects of the Dutch government and as part of a general reconstruction of the Utrecht station area. The station hall was replaced by a new, much larger hall, housing all modes of public transport. The new structure with its curved roof, was designed by Benthem Crouwel Architekten. The roof has three curves: a large one in the middle for the railway station and two smaller ones for the bus/tram stations on either side. New sheltering roofs were built for all platforms and the station was separated from the Hoog Catharijne shopping area. A scale model of Utrecht Centraal is on display at Madurodam.

Kasuga no Kami (春日神) or Kasuga Gongen (春日権現) or Kasuga Daimyōjin (春日大明神) is a god of Kasuga-taisha. It is composed of five separate gods each with a Shinto and a Buddhist equivalent. The four main kami enshrined at Kasuga-taisha are Ame-no-Koyane, Himegami, Futsunushi no mikoto, and Takemikazuchi no mikoto. They are often imagined as a single entity called Kasuga Daimyōjin.

The popularity of Kasuga Daimyojin inspired people to worship other gods as collective entities like Kumano Gongen. The four main kami (excluding Ame-no-Oshikumone) each have a shrine devoted to them which are all in the same architectural style. They are characterized by sloping gabled roofs, a rectangular structure, katsuogi (decorative logs), and chigi (forked roof structures).

The two kami Ame-no-Koyane and Himegami were "bunrei" transferred from Hiraoka Shrine, and the shrine was thus given the name of "Moto-Kasuga" ("former Kasuga"). Those two deities and their son Ame-no-Oshikumone are ancestors of the Nakatomi clan and Fujiwara clan. Hiraoka Shrine is located on the western side of the Ikoma Mountains in central Osaka Prefecture. Originally it was a center for mountain worship and the "kami" of Kozudake, the peak immediately behind the shrine, came to be identified with Ame-no-Koyane, the Oyagami of the Nakatomi clan, and the Fujiwara clan.

Comboios de Portugal
Comboios de Portugal, (CP; English: Trains of Portugal) is a state-owned company which operates passenger trains in Portugal. It started in October 1856 with the opening of the first railway line in Portugal. Most of the network is Iberian gauge lines, as in Spain. During the 1950s, the Portuguese railway network was about , its greatest extent. In 1975, the Portuguese Railway Company was nationalised When passenger numbers decreased, various lines were shut down, with almost a quarter of the rail network being closed by the twenty-first century. During 1999, it introduced a new service, the Alfa Pendular, which operates between Braga - Porto - Lisbon - Faro using tilting trains. Since 2005 the company runs only passenger train services. Management of the railway infrastructure is done by Infraestruturas de Portugal . Cargo activities were transferred to private company MSC who operate them under the "Medway" label. In 2015, a new long-term strategy for Portugal's railway network was started. The full electrification of the network, the provision of European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), and the general modernisation and improvement of trunk routes and international services is being conducted.

Iberian-gauge railways
Iberian gauge is a railway track gauge of , used by the railways of Spain and Portugal. This is the second-widest gauge in regular use anywhere in the world. Indian gauge railways, , are wider. In 1955, the Iberian gauge was a compromise between the slightly different, gauges in Spain and Portugal. The main railway networks of Spain were built to a gauge of six Castilian feet. In Portugal they were first built to a and later to a gauge of five Portuguese feet – close enough to allow interoperability with Spanish railways. Standard gauge. Since the 1990s new high-speed passenger lines in Spain have been built to the international standard gauge of , to allow these lines to link to the European high-speed network. Although the 22 km from Tardienta to Huesca (part of a branch from the Madrid to Barcelona high-speed line) has been reconstructed as mixed Iberic and standard gauge, in general the interface between the two gauges in Spain is dealt with by means of gauge-changing installations, which can adjust the gauge of appropriately designed wheelsets on the move. There are plans to convert more of the Iberian-gauge network in Spain and Portugal to standard gauge. Concrete sleepers pre-drilled with additional bolt holes allow for moving one rail to adjust the track to standard gauge (or to dual gauge) or the narrowing of the gauge by moving both rails closer together maintaining the perfect alignment of the loading gauge. Similar gauges and compatibility. The Indian gauge () is closely similar, with only difference. Chile and Argentina have bought second hand Spanish/Portuguese Iberian-gauge rolling stock. 1,668 mm trains can run on 1,676 mm gauge without adaptation, but for better stability in high-speed running a replacement wheelset may be required. Due to the narrower gauge, a strong wear of the wheels may occur if the wheelset is not replaced.

Japan Railways Group
The Japan Railways Group, more commonly known as the JR Group. Except JRF, all JR companies give customers passenger trains. JRF operates only freight service. JR groups is largest railway company in Japan and is still spreading all over Japan. Companies. The six passenger railways of the JR groups are separated by region. Each of them provide services in their business area. However, some trains operates through more 2 companies. Stations. There are many JR stations in all over Japan. Every day about over 21,000,000 people use JR train. Most of stations are usually open from 4 or 5 a.m. until 1 a.m. the next day. Some stations are open later or close earlier. Urban stations have convenience store. They sell many things, including newspaper, drinks, foods and so on. There are also many shops inside the ticket gates, which are called "駅ナカ"(ekitana) in Japanese. Each of stations are given original numbering. For example, Tokyo station is given JT-01, JK-26, JY-01, JC-01, JO-19 and JE-01. The numbering is made for passengers' convenience. Networks. JR networks are composed of Shinkansen lines and conventional lines. Shinkansen trains run over 320km/h(about 200 mph). On conventional lines not only local train, but also Limited express train. Limited express trains are faster than local train; Usually, Limited express trains run 100-130km/h(about 60-80mph). Shinkansen Lines. There are 7 line service. Some shinkansens are connected. For example, Tokaido Shinkansen is connected to Sanyo Shinkansen at Shin-Osaka station. Shinkansen is famous for the safe and non-delay service. Shinkansen is major transportation in Japan. Typical Shinkansen is NOZOMI. You take NOZOMI train, it requires only about 140 minutes to travel to Osaka from Tokyo. NOZOMI is operated every 4 minutes. Conbentional lines. There are many line service and the network is complex. JR companies are try to be simple. Typical Conbentional line is Yamanote Line. Yamanote line is connecting most of major station in Tokyo. It is loop service and only local trains are running. Further example is JR-Kyoto Line. On JR-Kyoto Line, not only local train, but also Rapid, Special Rapid, Limited Express"Thunder bird", "Haruka", "Super Hakuto" so on. Fares and tickets. To take JR trains, you should pay fare.

State-owned enterprise
A state-owned enterprise (SOE) is a government owned organisation which is started or nationalised by a government. This may be to The national or provincial government has majority ownership over these state owned enterprises. They are also known as public sector undertakings in some countries. They have distinct legal forms. The government defines what they should do. (e.g., a state railway company may aim to make transportation more accessible and earn profit for the government). They are common with natural monopolies. In both Eastern Europe and Western Europe, there was a massive nationalization throughout the 20th century, especially after World War II. In the Eastern Bloc, countries adopted very similar policies and models to the USSR. Governments in Western Europe saw state intervention as necessary to rebuild economies shattered by war. Government control over natural monopolies was common. Typical sectors included telephones, electric power, fossil fuels, iron ore, railways, airlines, media, postal services, banks, and water. Many large industrial corporations were also nationalized or created as government corporations, including, among many others: British Steel Corporation, Statoil and Águas de Portugal.

Leptomantis belalongensis
Leptomantis belalongensis is a frog. It lives in Brunei and Malaysia. The adult male frog is 25.8-30.9 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is 34.7-38.2 mm long. The skin of the frog's back is gray or light brown in color. There are small dark brown spots on its back and sides. There are some blue spots on the sides of the body. The iris of the eye is red and yellow in color with a black circle around the outside. This frog lives in rainforests. It sits on plants next to streams, 1-3 m above the ground. People have seen the males 10 m above the ground. The female frog lays eggs in a foam nest on leaves over streams. People saw this frog in Brunei where two rivers came together and in Gunung Mulu National Park in Malaysia. Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because, even though it only lives in a small place, that place is only in protected parks: Ulu Temburong National Park and Gunung Mulu National Park.

Rail transport in Sweden
Rail transport in Sweden is a network of 10,912 kilometres (6,780 mi). The first railway line in Sweden was built in 1855. The major operator of passenger trains was the state-owned SJ. Today around 70% of all rail traffic is subsidised local and regional trains. They are run by the regional public transport authorities. Passenger traffic has increased significantly since 2000. In 2019 Sweden was number five in the world measured in passenger kilometres per person and number three in the European union. It was 8th in the world when measured by passenger share. In 1988 the Swedish parliament separated the ownership of rail infrastructure from train operations. Sweden was the first European country to do this. They also opened the railway system to private train operators, including open-access operators, with competitive bidding for regional service contracts. In 2019, the Swedish railways were called 'the most deregulated railways in the world'. Sweden is a member of the International Union of Railways (UIC). The UIC Country Code for Sweden is 74.

It was divided into six separate government-owned limited companies. In 2018, SJ carried 31.8 million passengers. Overview. SJ's runs both subsidised and unsubsidised services. . The subsidised trains are awarded through competitive bids. However, some trains fall in between these categories, since public transit agencies can pay SJ to allow transit pass holders to use SJ's trains. SJ received a government bailout a few years after its creation, but has since had profit margins of up to 10 %.

Rail transport in Russia
Rail transport in Russia is one of the biggest railway networks in the world. Russian railways are the third longest by length and third by volume of freight hauled, after the railways of the United States and China. In overall density of operations (freight ton-kilometers + passenger-kilometers)/length of track, Russia is second only to China. Rail transport in Russia has been described as one of the economic wonders of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. JSC Russian Railways has a near-monopoly on long-distance train travel in Russia, with a 98.6% market share in 2017. Independent long-distance carriers include Grand Service Express TC, Tverskoy Express, TransClassService, Sakhalin Passenger Company, Kuzbass Suburb, and Yakutian Railway. Characteristics. Russia is larger than both the United States and China in terms of total land area. Its rail density (rail tracking/country area) is lower than those two countries. Russia's population density is also much lower so the Russian railways carry freight and passengers over very long distances, often through vast, nearly empty spaces. Coal and coke make up almost one-third of the freight traffic and have average hauls of around 1,500 kilometers. Ferrous metals make up another 10% of freight traffic and travel an average of over 1,900 kilometers. Railroads are often key to getting supplies to remote parts of the country. Like most railways, rail transport in Russia carries both freight and passengers. It is one of the most freight-dominant railways in the world, behind only Canada, the United States, and Estonia in the ratio of freight ton-kilometers to passenger-kilometers. Per head of population intercity passenger travel is far greater than the United States (which has the lowest long-distance passenger train usages in the developed world). There are seventeen regional railways. Most rail of the network uses the 1,520 mm Russian gauge. The Poland–Russia border line to Kaliningrad uses the 1,435 mm Standard gauge. Narrow-gauge railways. In 1981, there were 33,400 kilometers of narrow gauge.

The Austrian Federal Railways and formerly the or BBÖ), now commonly known as ÖBB, is the national railway company of Austria. It also runs Liechtenstein's railway. The ÖBB group is owned entirely by the Republic of Austria. It is divided into several separate businesses that manage the infrastructure and operate passenger and cargo services. The Austrian Federal Railways was first formed in 1923, using the "Bundesbahn Österreich" name, as a successor to the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways. It was incorporated into the "Deutsche Reichsbahn" during the 1938–1945 Anschluss. It was reformed in 1947, under the slightly different name "Österreichische Bundesbahnen", and still uses this name. The Austrian rail system is mostly electrified. Electrification began in 1912 but did not reach an advanced state until the 1950s. The last steam locomotive in regular service on the standard gauge network was retired in 1978. Major changes currently being made to the Austrian railway network are the construction of the Koralm Railway, the Semmering Base Tunnel and the Brenner Base Tunnel connection with Italy. Eurobarometer surveys conducted in 2018 showed that satisfaction levels of Austrian rail passengers are among the highest in the European Union when it comes to punctuality, reliability and frequency of trains. Furthermore, with their "Nightjet" brand, ÖBB operates Europe's largest night train fleet. Unlike other major railway companies in Europe that offer more flexible cancellation policies, ÖBB only offers two types of tickets: full-price tickets, and cheaper but non-exchangeable and non-refundable tickets.

Precociality and altriciality
In the study of biology of birds and mammals, some babies are born needing a lot of care because they can't move much. These babies are called altricial. Others are ready to move and do things on their own soon after they are born. These babies are called precocial. Precocial babies are often ready to leave their home (like a nest) very soon after they are born or hatched. In fish, the difference is about if a baby fish is born with a stomach ready to digest food. Precocial fish babies have a stomach from the start, but altricial fish babies do not. Altricial. Altricial babies are not ready to do much when they are born. They need their parents to feed them and keep them safe for a while. Where the word comes from. The word "altricial" comes from a Latin word that means "to feed". This is because these babies need to be fed by their parents. Precocial. Precocial babies are more ready to take care of themselves soon after they are born or hatched. Where the word comes from. "Precocial" comes from a word that means "early ripening" in Latin. Why it matters. The difference between altricial and precocial babies matters because it affects how the animals live, how they are cared for by their parents, and how they survive in the wild. Examples. There are many kinds of animals between these two types.

Province of Pennsylvania
The Province of Pennsylvania was a British colony in North America that existed from 1681 until 1776. It was founded by William Penn under a royal charter granted by King Charles II. Penn envisioned Pennsylvania as a place of religious freedom and tolerance, attracting settlers from various European countries seeking refuge from persecution. The history of the Province of Pennsylvania begins with the granting of land by King Charles II to William Penn in 1681. Penn, a Quaker, sought to establish a colony where people of all religious beliefs could live together peacefully. He named the colony "Pennsylvania," which means "Penn's Woods" in honor of his father, Admiral William Penn. Pennsylvania quickly became a haven for religious dissenters, including Quakers, Mennonites, Baptists, and others fleeing persecution in Europe.
