The head is a 100 m high rocky spur capped by the Sumburgh Head Lighthouse. The Old Norse name was "Dunrøstar høfdi", it means "The Head onto the loud tide-race", referring to the noise of Sumburgh Roost. The area is an RSPB nature reserve. The cliffs were home to large numbers of seabirds with for example 33000 puffins in the year 2000. These numbers have declined sharply with number dropped to 570 in 2017. This decline also applies to other species. Sumburgh Airport

Nearly 11 million rail passengers use the station every year making it the second-busiest train station in Canada. The main concourse occupies almost the entire block bounded by De la Gauchetière Street, Robert-Bourassa Boulevard, René Lévesque Boulevard and Mansfield Street in Downtown Montreal. Its street address and principal vehicular access are on de La Gauchetière; pedestrian access is assured by numerous links through neighboring buildings. The station is adorned with art deco bas-relief friezes on its

(renamed Canmarc in September 2011) was the previous owner, since November 30, 2007. Prior to that, from the station's inception in 1943, it had been owned by Canadian National Railway (CN). Central Station is at the centre of the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor, the busiest inter-city rail service area in the nation (marketed as the "Corridor"), which extends from Windsor and Sarnia in the west, through Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, to Quebec City in the east. Inter-city trains at Central

The station is also connected to the Montreal Metro subway system. Central Station is the second-busiest Via Rail station in Canada, after Toronto Union Station. Its Via station code is MTRL; its Amtrak code is MTR, and its IATA code is YMY. Central Station opened in 1943, after several years of construction. It stands on the site originally occupied by the terminus of the Canadian Northern Railway's Tunnel Terminal which had originally opened in 1918. Following the bankruptcy of the


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: Grand Trunk Railway, the Government of the Dominion of Canada decided to consolidate the Grand Trunk Railway with the various Canadian Government Railways to form the Canadian National Railways (CNR). The merger left CNR with a somewhat viable patchwork of different networks. CNR endured a highly uncomfortable position in Montreal due to the scattering of its terminals. Bonaventure Station was used for routes heading west and south east, the Tunnel Terminal served routes heading north, Moreau Street Station served eastbound routes, and the McGill Street Terminal served the interurban streetcars of the Montreal and Southern Counties Railway. What made matters


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: worse was that the various stations were only connected to each other via long detours. In order to transfer a train from Bonaventure Station to Tunnel Station it would need to travel to Hawkesbury, Ontario, and to travel from Tunnel Station to Moreau Station it needed to take a detour via Rawdon in the Laurentians. The solution chosen was to take advantage of the Mount Royal Tunnel to bring trains from the north and east through the tunnel to a large electrified central station. Trains from the south and west gained access by a new elevated viaduct. Interurban electric trains,


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: however, remained at McGill Street Terminal until the service was abandoned in 1956. The new station plan allowed for the development of air-rights, similar to Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station, both in New York City. The new Central Station would be situated in the block bounded by De la Gauchetière Street to the south, Mansfield Street to the west, Cathcart Street to the north and University Street to the east. Central Station was designed by John Schofield, architect-in-chief of CNR. Construction started in 1926, but was halted in 1930 as a result of the Great Depression. Construction resumed in

The new station finally opened on July 14, 1943, as the first of a series of large-scale urban redevelopment projects undertaken by CNR and the federal government in Downtown Montreal. But the Central Station that came out was a more modest central station with 20 tracks (16 of which had platforms). The opening of a 'central' station was part of a consolidation project undertaken by CNR since 1929 with the enactment of the "Canadian National Montreal Terminals Act, 1929" by Parliament; this saw the closure of former temporary stations operated by CNR predecessors Grand Trunk

Central Station was an important passenger station for CN trains from 1943 until the creation of Via Rail in 1978. Following Via's full absorption of CP's passenger trains in 1978, intercity rail traffic from Windsor Station was slowly redirected to Central Station. The final Via trains switched from Windsor Station to Central Station were the Quebec City trains that operated by way of Trois-Rivières (April 29, 1984). Amtrak's "Adirondack" was switched to Central Station on January 12, 1986. At Central Station's opening, tracks (7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12) of the Tunnel Station were


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: used only by trains heading north through the tunnel, and did not continue south of the station. These tracks were finally connected to the south when the old Tunnel Station was demolished as well as the warehouse located south of De la Gauchetière Street and east of Inspector Street (now Mansfield Street). This also allowed for the construction of the new headquarters of CNR as well as Place Bonaventure. This division is once again in effect following the rebuilding of the Deux-Montagnes line. These tracks are now part of the Two Mountains Subdivision, extending south for a distance of about


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: 1600 metres. Under catenary wires, they serve as parking for trains on the Deux-Montagnes line during the day. Since the reopening of the Mont-Saint-Hilaire line, they are also used to park trains from this line. Tracks 6–16 lead to the tunnel to the north, and lanes 4, 5 and tracks 16 to 23 are in a cul-de-sac to the north (track 16 is provided with a switch just north of the stairs). Tracks 13 to 15 are never used in the northbound direction because of the lack of catenary wires. One platform (23) is inaccessible to the main concourse, and


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: serves instead as parking for the company cars belonging to upper-level management. Upon entry into service of the UAC TurboTrain, three tracks (4, 5, 6) were arranged on the west side of the station for a servicing and maintenance facility located there. The workshop, called "Turbo Bay", is still used to maintain light commuter trains as well as the private cars belonging to CN's senior management who use the station. The tracks in the workshop are protected by derails. Around 1980, the catenary wire was removed from tracks 13, 14, 15 and 16, to allow dome train cars to enter


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: the station. In 1994–1995, the complete reconstruction of the commuter rail Deux-Montagnes Line resulted in tracks 7–12 being re-electrified at 25 kV AC. The original 3000-volt DC catenary was removed from the other tracks. The platforms of tracks 7 and 8 are now inaccessible from the station, the entrance having been sealed to allow for the development of commercial space, and the tracks now used as parking for trains waiting to be repaired in the "Turbo Bay". On September 3, 1984, a pipe bomb exploded inside a Central Station locker, killing 3 people and injuring 30 more. The bomb was

With the design being overseen by CNR's architect-in-chief John Schofield (1883-1971), the architecture of Central Station is modern; it is a mixture of Art Deco and the international style. Its large concourse, designed by John Campbell Merrett (1909-1998), is illuminated by large windows. Originally, the concourse was cluttered by various ticket counters and kiosks, but, over time, they were pushed to the extremities of the room, which left much more space for the


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: passing crowds. The 14 underground tracks are accessible by seven stairwells, five of which are equipped with escalators. The east and west interior walls of the station feature two large bas-reliefs depicting Canadian life, arts and industry, designed by Charles Comfort and executed by Sebastiano Aiello. Included in the bas relief are a few of the lyrics of O Canada (which was not the national anthem at the time the station was built). The lyrics are in French on the east side of the station and in English on the west side. Canadian artist Fritz Brandtner created the three large


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: chiselled stone reliefs depicting Mercury, Apollo and Poseidon on the station's north exterior wall. The representations of Mercury and Poseidon measure approximately 2,5m by 4,5m. Apollo is larger but visual access is very limited. These were obscured by the 1958 construction of the neighbouring Queen Elizabeth Hotel. It is disputed whether Comfort or Brandtner created the thematic stone medallions depicting water, land and air transportation on the station's west, south and east exterior walls. Stylistically, however, the bas-relief medallions bear a strong resemblance to the frieze by Charles Comfort created for the Toronto Stock Exchange building in 1937. Because of


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: its underground urban location, the railway station quickly imposed operational constraints on CNR. To avoid smoke in the vicinity of the station, the first trains were powered by electric locomotives. The change of traction took place at Bridge Street, south for trains serving the south-east, at Turcot Yards, west for trains serving the west, Val Royal, north for trains running northwest of the junction and north for trains serving the northeast. A fleet of 14 electric locomotives were used for this work. An elaborate system of signals allowed staff to track the status of the various trains. At the station,


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: as soon as the train was ready to receive passengers, the conductor inserted the key switch in a special switch indicating to staff at the station (ticket checkers) that the train was ready. The movement director at Wellington was also advised via a series of lights that the train was receiving passengers, which then allowed him to establish the route out of the station. Access to the platforms is controlled by ticket examiners who verify each passenger's ticket. This configuration limits access uniquely to passengers. At the time of departure, after all passengers had descended, the ticket checker would press


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: a button that notified the conductor, through a green light on the platform, that the train could leave. The movement director in Wellington was also advised of the departure by a special light. The final decision of departure was the responsibility of the conductor, until conductors were replaced by a second engineer in the 1990s. Over the years, the empty space around Central Station has gradually developed to the point where the station building itself is hardly visible from the outside. In 1948, ICAO built its headquarters over the northeast portion of the station along University Street south of Dorchester


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: Street. Then in 1959, the Queen Elizabeth Hotel was built on the western portion, on the corner of Dorchester and Mansfield, which was the first of many major redevelopments in the area. In 1960, the former Tunnel Station building was demolished to allow for the construction of the new head-office of CNR, and soon after, a large parking garage was built over the southern part of the station. The Terminal Tower of 1966 completely hid the station from Dorchester Boulevard. Belmont Street, east of the station was extended over the station itself to Mansfield Street. On Belmont is the only

The north side of Dorchester (now René Lévesque Boulevard) then saw the construction of the complex of Place Ville-Marie, which now includes four skyscrapers whose highest was 45 floors and an underground shopping mall which was the beginning of the Underground City. In the mid 1960s, Place Bonaventure was built over the tracks, south of de La Gauchetière Street. In 1966, Central Station and Place Bonaventure were connected underground by the new Bonaventure Metro station, named in honour of


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: the demolished Bonaventure railway station. All of these buildings underwent major renovations over the next 30 years. Central Station is located adjacent to CN Headquarters and is an important link in the underground city, with tunnels to Place Ville-Marie, Place Bonaventure, the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, 1000 de La Gauchetière and the Bonaventure Metro station. It also contains two parking facilities, one of which is a multi-level facility that is located above the station. Central Station has gradually grown to include "Les Halles de la Gare", a shopping and restaurant complex. Real estate pressures have meant that the shopping area would


title: "Montreal Central Station" content: be expanded several times. While the old ICAO building was undergoing renovations in 1981, (after the relocation of ICAO to Sherbrooke Street), a railway-themed shopping area expanded on the north side of the station. This section was completely destroyed in 1995 during the restoration of the Deux-Montagnes Line, and was replaced by the present Les Halles de la Gare complex. In May 2012, U.S. Senators Charles Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, Patrick Leahy, and Bernie Sanders sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to fastrack the approval of a U.S. Customs preclearance facility at the station that will benefit U.S.

The Australian brushturkey has also been introduced to Kangaroo Island in South Australia. It is the largest extant representative of the family Megapodiidae, and is one of three species to inhabit Australia. Despite its name and their superficial similarities, the bird is not closely related to American turkeys, nor to the


title: "Australian brushturkey" content: Australian bustard, which is also known as the bush turkey. Its closest relatives are the wattled brushturkey, Waigeo brushturkey, and malleefowl. It is a large bird with black feathers and a red head. Its total length is about and a wingspan of about . The subspecies "A. l. purpureicollis" from the northern Cape York Peninsula is smaller than the more widespread nominate subspecies. It has a prominent, fan-like tail flattened sideways, and its plumage is mainly blackish, but with a bare red head, and a yellow (in the nominate subspecies) or purple wattle (in "A. l. purpureicollis"). The males' wattles


title: "Australian brushturkey" content: become much larger during breeding season, often swinging from side to side as they run. The males' heads and wattles also become much brighter during the breeding and nesting season. The underside of the body is sprinkled with white feathers, more pronounced in older birds. The brushturkey is a clumsy flier and cannot fly long distances, only taking to the air when threatened by predators or to roost in trees at night and during the heat of the day. They build large nests on the ground made of leaves, other combustible material, and earth, high and up to across. Mound-building


title: "Australian brushturkey" content: is done by a dominant male, and visited by a succession of local females, for mating and egg-laying. The male works tirelessly, collecting material from all around, and also diligently repelling rival males, which are keen to usurp his position. The effort involved eventually wears him down, and he will ultimately be defeated by a new king. The eggs are very large (90 × 45 mm), and the young are fully fledged on hatching. They can fly within hours, as soon as the feathers are dry. The eggs are hatched by the heat of the composting mound, the temperature of


title: "Australian brushturkey" content: which is regulated by adding or removing material to maintain the temperature in the incubation temperature range. The Australian brushturkey checks the temperature by sticking its beak into the mound. Like some reptiles, incubation temperature affects the sex ratio of chicks, but the mechanism is different between reptiles and these birds, with reptiles exhibiting temperature-dependent sex determination, and megapodes exhibiting temperature-dependent embryo mortality. The sex ratio in brushturkeys is equal at incubation temperatures of 34°C, but results in more males when cooler and more females when warmer (p=0.035). Whether the parents use this to manipulate the sex of their offspring


title: "Australian brushturkey" content: by, for instance, selecting the nesting site accordingly, is unclear. Warmer incubation also results in heavier, fitter chicks (p<0.0001), but how this is linked to gender is also unknown. The same nesting site is frequently used year after year, with the old nests being added to each breeding season. The average clutch of eggs is between 16 and 24 large white eggs, which are laid September to March. Sometimes, up to 50 eggs laid by several females may be found in a single mound. The eggs are placed in a circle roughly down, apart, always with the large end up.


title: "Australian brushturkey" content: The newly hatched young dig themselves out of the mound and then have to care for themselves. Brushturkey eggs are a favourite food of goannas, snakes, and dingoes and dogs, though brushturkeys were also a staple of Aboriginal Australians. Often, goannas exhibit wounds on their tails from having been pecked by brushturkeys that ferociously chase them away from their nests. In situations where they come into contact with humans, such as picnic areas in national parks and suburban gardens, brushturkeys exhibit little fear and often boldly attempt to steal food from tables and raid compost bins. They nest in suburban

The Australian brushturkey inhabits rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests, but can also be found in drier scrubs and open areas. In the northern part of its range, the Australian brushturkey is most common at higher altitudes, but individuals move to the lowland areas in winter. In the south, it is common in both mountain and lowland regions. Brushturkeys are now common in urban environments and can be found in backyards in both Brisbane and Sydney. Brushturkeys are fairly common presently, but in the 1930s,


title: "Australian brushturkey" content: the bird was supposed to be approaching extinction. Brushturkeys feed upon insects, seeds, and fallen fruits, which are exposed by raking the leaf litter or breaking open rotten logs with their large feet. The majority of food is obtained from the ground, with birds occasionally observed feeding on ripening fruits among tree branches. The Australian brushturkey can damage gardens when raking up the ground looking for food. It can also cause extensive damage to food crops. The Department of Environment, Climate Change, and Water provides hints for living with brushturkeys in urban environments. They are sometimes hunted for food, including

It has spread throughout southern Europe both as a weed and cultivated as a garden plant. It has been introduced to the United States as an ornamental where it has become naturalized as a weed of cropland and vacant land, particularly on disturbed ground.

The pollinated but unripe seedpods look like oriental paper lanterns, less than an inch across, pale green with purple highlights. The flowers of the "Hibiscus trionum" can set seed via both outcrossing and self-pollination. During the first few hours after anthesis, the style and stigma are erect and receptive to receive pollen from other plants. In the absence of pollen donation, the style bends and makes contact with the anthers of the same flower,

Although outcrossing plants seem to perform better than self-pollinating plants, this form of reproductive assurance might have contributed to the success of "H. trionum" plants in several environments. Initial studies showed that artificial replicas of the flower surface produced iridescence that bees could recognise. Later work suggested that the irregularities of the plant cells and surface resulted in the periodicity of the striations being too irregular to create clear iridescence and thus suggested that the iridescence is not visible to man and flower visiting insects. More recent papers have presented evidence that the flower is both visibly and


title: "Hibiscus trionum" content: measurably iridescent, and the striations have been shown to be sufficiently irregular to generate particularly strong scattering of light at short wavelengths, producing weak iridescence and a 'blue halo' (of which the halo is the dominant visible effect).

title: "European pond turtle" content: European pond turtle The European pond turtle ("Emys orbicularis"), also called the European pond terrapin and European pond tortoise, is a long-living freshwater species of turtle. It is found in southern and central Europe, West Asia and North Africa. In the early post-glacial period, the pond turtle had a much wider distribution, being found as far north as southern Sweden. It became extinct in Great Britain due to climate change. In France, there are six large remaining populations, all deteriorating; it is the most endangered reptile of the country. In Switzerland, the European pond turtle was extinct at the beginning


title: "European pond turtle" content: of the twentieth century and reintroduced since 2010. "Emys orbicularis" turtles prefer to live in wetlands surrounded by a large proportion of natural, wooded, landscape. Specimens of "Emys orbicularis" are also found in upland environments for feeding. "Emys orbicularis" is usually considered semi-aquatic, as their terrestrial movements can span 1000 metres, and occasionally found travelling up to 4000 metres, away from the water. Historically, "Emys orbicularis" had been maintained as pets; however, this practice has been prohibited due to protection laws. Due to human impact, turtles have been found to be relocated in areas distant from their origin. However, it


title: "European pond turtle" content: is possible to localize and indicate a region of origin with genetic testing. The European pond turtle is a medium size turtle and varies quite a bit across its distribution, from 12 to 38 cm length. Its shell is brown with a hint of green, spotted yellow. An important factor that affects "Emys orbicularis" development is temperature and thermal conditions. It has been reported that differential growth rates of the same species occur, including variation of body size and clutch sizes, because of varying temperatures in certain areas. Due to evident patterns of sexual dimorphism, "Emys orbicularis" adult males are


title: "European pond turtle" content: always found to be smaller than females. In males, smaller plastrons offer them a wider mobility compared to females. In females, due to their differential diet and foraging habits, there may be a correlation to an adaptive effect on their skull and head morphology. "Emys orbicularis" turtles eat a mixed diet of plants and animal matter that can increase the efficiency of their digestive process. Although it is assumed that "Emys orbicularis" turtles are strictly carnivorous, it seems that not all "Emys orbicularis" are entirely carnivorous as their diet also consists of plant material. It has been reported that an


title: "European pond turtle" content: adult's diet starts from a carnivorous to a more herbivorous diet as it ages and grows in size. This is also very similar to other omnivore Emydidae turtles. As an "Emys orbicularis" turtle grows in age and becomes an adult the amount of plant material consumption increases during the post breeding period. "Emys orbicularis" turtles may prefer less energetic food after the breeding season, a period of time where most of its energy is spent to recover from reproduction. Most freshwater turtles lay their eggs on land, typically near a water body, but some species of "Emys" have been found


title: "European pond turtle" content: to lay their eggs distances less than 150 metres from water. The search of a nesting areas by adult females can last several hours to more than one day. Once the location of the nest is established, females spend time for the construction of the nest, laying of the eggs, and closing the nest which can take up to another 4 hours. Nest fidelity is a characteristic that female European pond turtles carry out by selecting a nesting site based on its ecological characteristics and then return there for future expeditions so long as the site has not changed. "Emys


title: "European pond turtle" content: orbicularis" females tend to change to another nesting site if there are visible changes to the present environment or because of dietary changes. If an "Emys orbicularis" female must change from nest to nest, it will typically select a site in close proximity. In addition, females can also lay eggs in an abandoned nesting site if the conditions change to become better suited for egg survival. If the ecological characteristics of the nesting site changes, this may influence the survival of the hatchlings and their sex ratio. Due to ecological changes such as trees growing to shade the nest, this


title: "European pond turtle" content: can change the environment into an inadequate location for egg incubation. Females that do not exhibit nesting fidelity and lay eggs in the same area for long periods of time, even with the ecological changes, may produce large proportions of males as vegetation grows and nesting areas become more shaded. Since the sex of these turtles is temperature-dependent, a change in temperature may produce a larger number of males or females which may upset the sex ratio. Climate has an effect on the survival of "Emys orbicularis" hatchlings. Hatchlings are only able to survive under favorable weather conditions, but due


title: "European pond turtle" content: to regular annual clutch sizes and long lifespan, "Emys orbicularis" adults, along with many freshwater turtles, balance out loss of hatchlings due to climate. "Emys orbicularis" species have become rare in most countries even though they are widely distributed in Europe. The building of roads and driving of cars through natural habitats of "Emys" is a possible factor that threatens the populations of the European pond turtle. Road networks and traffic often carry complex ecological effects to animal populations such as fragmenting natural habitats and creating barriers for animal movement. Mortality on the road is most likely due to females


title: "European pond turtle" content: selecting nests near roads which places a potential danger for the hatchlings as well. Hatchlings that wander too closely to roads are more likely to be killed and put the future population in danger. Although the possibility of roads being a major causation for the mortality of "Emys orbicularis" turtles is a rare phenomenon, long-term monitoring is necessary. Introduced exotic species such as the Trachemys scripta scripta and Trachemys scripta elegans, more known as Florida turtles, also put in danger the native Emys species in many parts of Spain (and possibily in other parts of southern Europe), since these exotic
