Askam Railway Station is a train station serving the villages of Askam-in-Furness and Ireleth in Cumbria, England. It is a stop on the scenic Cumbrian Coast Line. Some through trains to the Furness Line stop here. It is operated by Northern Rail who provide all passenger train services. Originally, the station was built here to transport the iron ore being mined in Askam out of the village.

History

The line

The railway along the Cumbrian coast was completed over many years by numerous small firms, who often would refuse to work together. However, eventually ‘Grouping’ forced the companies to work together on the railway, instead of constantly competing. Further problems were encountered when the people building the railway ran out of money, and so the proposed Duddon Viaduct, from Askam to Millom, was abandoned. Instead, a different route, going by way of Foxfield, was planned. This saved £37,000.

The plans were drawn up in 1843, and shortly afterwards, sections of the Furness Railway were built. The original section through Askam, coming from Millwood Junction, and going on to Kirby Slate Warf was part of the original railway line. This was officially opened on June 3, 1846. A passenger service then began operating on August 24 of that same year.

The station

Originally, there was a simple stop in Askam. This was abolished in 1859; the later growth of Askam meant that it soon deserved a full sized station. The station that was built was actually originally designed for Millom, by Paley and Austin. The chalet-style station was opened on April 1, 1868.

Along with the station, sliding sheds were built next to the station. These were to store a banking locomotive, to aid trains with more than 16 wagons with the difficult climb to Lindal summit.

As well as carrying ore, there were dozens of smaller lines to practically every mine, furnace and factory in the area. For example, the Askam brick works had a 2ft gauge line to transport clay. This line was operational until 1968.

Operational

Opened by the Furness Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Regional Railways until the Privatisation of British Railways.

Services

Askam is one of the few mandatory stops on this section of the line (along with St Bees, Sellafield, Ravenglass & Millom) and as a result all trains call here. The current 2008-09 timetable has fourteen trains per weekday in each direction, ten of which run all the way through to Carlisle northbound (the remainder terminating at either Millom or Sellafield). Some southbound trains continue beyond Barrow to Lancaster.

There is no Sunday service.

“Be Without You” is an R&B song written by American singer-songwriter Mary J. Blige, Johnta Austin, Bryan Michael Cox, and Jason Perry for Blige’s seventh studio album The Breakthrough. It was released as the album’s lead single in late 2005. It was produced by Cox and released as the album’s first official single. The song was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year and won the Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance categories at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. The single was certified double platinum by the RIAA in 2007.

The song appears on the game Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol.

Music video

The music video for “Be Without You” was directed by Matthew Rolston and was shot on various locations in New York City in October 2005.

Starring Oscar-nominated actor Terrence Howard in the role of Blige’s boyfriend the video first aired on November 28, 2005. It peaked on AOL Videos Top 11 on the tenth spot on the January 21, 2006 entering the chart the first time and also the LAUNCH Music Videos Top 100 at the sixth position the same week. There’s also a “Live At Launch Exclusive Performance” available for download from January 2006, which peaked seventieth on the same chart. It won the “Video of the Year” award at the 2006 BET Awards on June 27, 2006 and was nominated for “Best R&B Video” at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards.

Chart performance

The single debuted at number ninety-three on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number three in February 2006, Blige’s third highest peak of her career after 2001’s “Family Affair” and 1996’s “Not Gon’ Cry.” Moreover, the song became the most successful release in the history of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart when it spent a record fifteen consecutive weeks at number one. “Be Without You” topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart for nine weeks, and the dance remix has also topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. The song broke the record for the longest-running single in the existence of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, where it spent a grand total of 75 weeks on that chart. After its run on the main R&B chart it moved to the Recurrent R&B Airplay chart. It has now been on that chart for over a year and is still in the top 10 there.

In the UK the single only peaked at number 32 on the UK singles chart; however, with the Moto Blanco remix of the song becoming a large club hit in the UK, the song actually managed to hold (to that time) the record for the most weeks on the UK top 75 for a Mary J. Blige single (18 in total). Having proved very popular, the Moto Blanco remix was featured as a B-Side in the UK on subsequent singles “MJB Da MVP” and “Enough Cryin’.” A cover of the Moto Blanco remix by Wi-Fi featuring Melanie M was due to be released in the UK in February 2007.

The 1^st Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery, is a Canadian Forces reserve artillery regiment. It is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, at the Halifax Armoury. The unit consists of two batteries, the 51st and 87th Field Batteries.

The regiment traces its lineage back to the Halifax Volunteer Artillery, which may have been in existence as early as 1776. The unit was officially recognized in 1791 and served into the mid-1800s, when it underwent a series of name changes. In 1885, the unit, then known as the “1st Halifax Brigade of Garrison Artillery”, sent two batteries to participate in the North-West Rebellion. At the onset of World War I the 1st Halifax, by then designated as the “1st Halifax Regiment of Garrison Artillery”, was called to active duty. It provided home defence in Halifax and served as a training unit for new artillery recruits throughout the war. It reverted to militia status after the end of the conflict and went through another series of name changes.

In 1939, as World War II loomed, the unit, by then known as the “1st Halifax Coast Brigade, Canadian Artillery”, was again called to active service. As in World War I, the 1st Halifax served in a home defence capacity and trained new recruits. The unit was re-designated as the “1st (Halifax) Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment, RCA” in 1942 and armed with British-made QF 3.7 inch AA guns.

After the end of World War II, in 1955, the unit was re-armed with American-made 90 mm guns and re-designated as a Medium Anti-Aircraft Regiment. It acquired its current name, the 1st (Halifax-Dartmouth) Field Artillery Regiment, RCA, in 1960 when it was issued 105 mm howitzers and merged with the 36th Medium Anti-Aircraft Regiment, RCA, from Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. The senior battery from each of the two regiments survived and today constitute the whole of the 1st Regiment; these are the 51st and 87th Field Batteries.

Guadalfeo River

Jump to: navigation, search

Dam on the Guadalfeo River

The Rio Guadalfeo is a small river in the province of Granada, Spain between the Sierra Nevada mountain range and the coastal ranges of Sierra de la Contraviesa and Lújar.

This river is formed by the merging of three rivers, the Rio Poqueira, Río Trevélez, and Cádiar. The Poqueira and the Trevélez join shortly before the confluence with the Cádiar near the town of Órgiva. The river flows through the region of La Alpujarra for much of its course and enters the sea near Motril after passing through a spectacular gorge between the Lújar and Chapparal mountains. Although it is often dried up by this point, its waters are often used for agricultural purposes. The Rules dam was recently built across the river near Vélez de Benaudalla at the head of the gorge, resulting in the creation of a large reservoir and the flooding of a section of the river valley.
