Rijksmonument
A rijksmonument (, ) is a national heritage site of the Netherlands, listed by the agency Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed acting for the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.
At the end of February 2015, the Netherlands had 61,822 listed national heritage sites. About 1,500 of them are archaeological sites.
Until 2012, a place had to be over 50 years old to be eligible. The law governing the monuments is the "Monumentenwet van 1988" ("Monument Law of 1988").
The organization responsible for caring for the monuments, which used to be called "Monumentenzorg", is now called Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed. In June 2009, the Court of The Hague decided that individual purchasers of buildings that were listed as rijksmonuments would be exempt from paying transfer tax, effective from 1 May 2009. Previously this exemption had only applied to legal entities.
Many Dutch tourist attractions are rijksmonuments, such as castles or windmills. Some notable windmills are De Schoolmeester, Westzaan, a smock mill in North Holland, the only wind powered paper mill in the world, listed as rijksmonument number 40013; De Wieker Meule, De Wijk, in Drenthe province, built in 1829 and restored to working order, listed as rijksmonument number 39657; and Mellemolen, a hollow post mill in Friesland, also restored to working order, listed as rijksmonument number 35937.

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.
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.

Tweed Heads is a coastal city in New South Wales. It is located at the mouth of the Tweed River in the Northern Rivers region. It is the seat of the Tweed Shire Council.
Tweed Heads is located on the border between New South Wales and Queensland. Just north of Tweed Heads on the other side of the border is the suburb of Coolangatta on the Gold Coast.
Tweed Heads is often considered a place where people can change time zones. This is because between October and April, New South Wales has daylight savings, but Queensland does not, which means Queensland is one hour behind New South Wales during those months. People often go to Tweed Heads on New Year's Eve because they can celebrate twice by simply crossing a street.
Predecessor is a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed and published by Omeda Studios, powered by Unreal Engine 5. The game started its buy-to-play early access phase in November 2022. The subsequent transition to free-to-play open beta is slated to commence on March 28th, 2024.
Predecessor is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game characterized by its third-person perspective. The game features symmetrical maps, with bases located at opposing ends. Players aim to dismantle the core within the adversary's base to achieve victory. The game map is divided into four primary zones: Offlane, Jungle, Mid Lane, and Duo Lane.. Defensive towers are strategically positioned along each lane, automatically engaging and neutralizing adversaries within their designated range, thereby safeguarding the allied bases. Each lane consists of two defensive towers and an inhibitor structure. The demolition of these key structures by a team results in the spawning of more formidable minions within the respective lane.
Within a match of Predecessor, ten participants are divided into two opposing teams, each comprising five players. Each participant assumes control of a character known as a "Hero." Upon acceptance of the match invitation, individuals are prompted to specify their preferred role within the game. This information is visible to teammates, fostering a collaborative effort toward constructing a balanced team composition. However, instances may arise wherein multiple players express a preference for the same role. In such scenarios, the game's mechanics intervene, autonomously assigning one player to the desired role while the other is allocated an available alternative. In the gaming structure of Predecessor, every Hero is equipped with a basic attack and possesses a set of four unique abilities. These abilities serve various purposes, such as executing offensive or defensive maneuvers and providing passive enhancements. They are designed to enhance the Hero's capabilities or offer support to teammates within the game environment.
As heroes obtain additional gold through the completion of in-game objectives, they acquire the opportunity to receive items from the shop. These items can modify hero abilities in various ways, including enabling teleportation to new locations, granting invisibility, manipulating time, and other effects. Moreover, experience is received to increase a hero's attributes, such as strength, attack speed, health, and various other aspects, thereby contributing to the enhancement of their overall effectiveness within the game.
Predecessor, is the inaugural title of Omeda Studios, founded in 2020 by Robbie Singh, Andrea Garella, and Steven Meilleur. In 2021, Omeda Studios was granted funding from Epic Games through their Epic MegaGrants program. The initial funding of $2.2 million has been designated towards the development of Predecessor, a video game inspired by Epic Games' multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) title, Paragon. Paragon, originally released in 2016, was discontinued by Epic Games in 2018.. To help facilitate that vision, Steve Superville, Paragon's creative director joined Omeda Studios as an advisor in June 2021. Paid Early access for the PC was accessible on the Epic Games Store and Steam on December 1st 2021. In 2022, Omeda Studios secured $20 million in funding to invest in Predecessor. On December 5th, 2023, a Closed Beta was accessible to all North American and European players on the PS4 and PS5.

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.
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.
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.

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 Irish Sugar.

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.

Principle of contradiction
The principle of contradiction (principium contradictionis), in logic, is a term that applies to the second of the three primary "laws of thought." The oldest statement of the law is that contradictory statements cannot both at the same time be true, e.g. the two propositions "He is Cynical" and "He is not Cynical" are mutually exclusive. That is, one of these must be false as both cannot hold truth at the same time and in the same manner.

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.
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 %. All train operators in Sweden pay low track access charges to the track authority, Trafikverket.
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.
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).
In 1981, there were 33,400 kilometers of narrow gauge.
Rail transport in Austria
There are some funiculars, rack railways and a lot of heritage railways mainly on disused lines. Some secondary lines are set up in narrow gauge.
Austria is a member of the International Union of Railways (UIC). The UIC Country Code for Austria is 81.
Austrian Federal Railways
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.
Rail transport in Latvia
Latvia had lot of different rail gauges, both standard gauge and narrow gauge. These were gradually replaced by the Russian gauge after the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states.
Although PV has been a monopoly in passenger trains, in February 2022 the Road Transport Administration of the Ministry of Transport of Latvia announced the first market survey on potential private rail passenger service providers.
Riga Central Station
