Ravenglass railway station

Ravenglass (also known as Ravenglass for Eskdale) is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 29+1/4 mi north-west of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the village of Ravenglass in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

The two parts of the station are separated by the station's car park. The station is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains, who provide all passenger train services, whilst the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway run its own platforms and services.

The National Rail station was originally known as Ravenglass before being lengthened to Ravenglass for Eskdale. It was then renamed to Ravenglass on 6 May 1974. When First North Western operated the station during the early part of the 21st century, it reverted to its name of Ravenglass for Eskdale, until Northern Rail rebranded the station signage in 2007, losing the suffix once more. Since 2018 the station has been called "Ravenglass for Eskdale" on all timetables and ticketing, but the station signage remains as "Ravenglass" without the suffix (as at 21 June 2021).

Overview
This station has two platforms, one serving trains travelling towards Barrow-in-Furness and one for trains travelling towards Carlisle. All former station buildings on the National Rail site, which is now unstaffed, are currently owned by the Eskdale Railway company - the main building being a pub, The Ratty Arms, the old southbound shelter a museum (leaving only small shelters for mainline travellers) and the goods shed an engineering workshop. The old Furness Railway main line signal box south of the station also survives - though out of railway use since 1965, it has been restored by the R&ER as a working museum exhibit and is open to the public.

Step-free access to both (staggered) platforms is available, with the northbound one via ramps from the Village Car Park and from the Ratty Arms, and to the southbound platform from the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway car park. There is also a footbridge link to the R&ER station at the south end of the northbound platform. To cross between the platforms either use the road bridge (north of the station) or the footbridge at the South End of the station, to the R and E R car park. Train running information can be obtained from timetable posters, information screens and by telephone. A ticket machine is also now in service, to allow intending travellers to buy their tickets prior to boarding.

Services
A basic hourly service operates in each direction, although one northbound train terminates at Sellafield rather than running through to Carlisle. Through tickets from trains on the Cumbria Coast Line are available to the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. Additional evening trains and the first Sunday service for more than 40 years were introduced at the May 2018 timetable change. This runs broadly hourly each way from mid-morning until 19:00.

Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway
The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, also known as La'al Ratty from Cumbrian dialect, is a heritage railway, providing journeys on a narrow-gauge railway up the scenic Eskdale valley. The Ravenglass station owned by the line is the other side of the car park and is the line's primary station and base of operations, with fully equipped workshops, motive power depot, carriage shed, paint shop and signal box. For passengers, there is a museum, café, gift shop and ticket office. The station has a turntable and three platforms, however only platforms 1 and 3 see regular use.

The station opened in 1875 and has closed and reopened to passengers as the companies have. It has had many changes in layout and design, and is currently at its largest size that it has ever been.

NOS stereo technique

The Nederlandse Omroep Stitchting (NOS) stereo technique is a method of capturing stereo sound.

The Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (English: Dutch Broadcast Foundation) found a stereo main microphone system by a number of practical attempts in the 1960s. This system resulted in a quite even distribution of the phantom sources (hearing event direction) on the stereo loudspeaker base, with two small cardioid characteristic microphones, and a recording angle of the microphone system of ±40.5° = 81°. This system got empirical an axle angle of α = ±45° = 90° and a microphone distance (microphone basis) of a = 30 cm.

With this system are frequency-independent level differences effective and time of arrival differences working together in the same direction as interchannel signals (interchannel loudspeaker signals). This technique leads to a realistic stereo effect and has a reasonable mono-compatibility. These interchannel differences have nothing to do with interaural differences which come only from artificial head recordings. Even the spacing of a = 30 cm has nothing to do with human ear distance, because a useful microphone system for a set of stereo loudspeakers should be developed and not for ear phones. This recording technology is called mixed stereo or equivalence stereo. Usually this special microphone system must be built up from two single small diaphragm microphones. One should not use double diaphragm microphones because of the produced unbalanced directional characteristics and the larger phase responses. It appears advisable to experiment with the two parameters the axle angle α and the microphone basis a to which there are practical microphone mounting devices.

A similar technique is known as the ORTF stereo technique, devised by the French ORTF. With this technique is the angle between the microphone axes α = ± 55° = 110° and the distance between the cardioid microphones (microphone basis) is in this case a = 17 cm and gives a total recording angle of 96°. The choice between one and the other depends on the recording angle of the microphone system and not on the distance to and the width of the sound source, the orchestra angle.

Drigg railway station

Drigg is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 31 mi north-west of Barrow-in-Furness, serves the villages of Drigg and Holmrook in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

The station is unstaffed, but the main station building still stands and is in private commercial use as a cafe and craft shop.

At the south end of the station is a level crossing with manually-operated gates, controlled from the adjacent signal box. There is step-free access to each platform, however the platforms are lower than the standard ones and are therefore not suitable for mobility-impaired passengers.

Waiting shelters and timetable posters are located on each side of the track, train running information for the station can also obtained by telephone. A ticket machine and digital information screens were installed by operator Northern in 2019, so passengers can now purchase tickets before boarding the train.

A short distance from the station, heavy secured sidings take special trains carrying nuclear materials from the Sellafield nuclear site (which is located close by) to the Low Level Waste Repository where the material is buried. Paul Merton visited the station en route to the Repository in the first episode of his 2016 travel documentary Paul Merton's Secret Stations.

Services
There is an hourly service southbound to Barrow-in-Furness and northbound to Whitehaven, Workington and Carlisle for much of the day (with slightly longer gaps mid-morning and in the late afternoon). A few through trains continue south of Barrow-in-Furness along the Furness Line to Lancaster.

There is no service after 21:00 each evening, but a Sunday service was introduced with the May 2018 timetable change and is still in operation. Seven northbound and nine southbound trains call if required.

John Egerton, 3rd Earl of Bridgewater

John Egerton, 3rd Earl of Bridgewater KB PC (9 November 1646 – 19 March 1701) was a British nobleman from the Egerton family.

He was the eldest son of John Egerton, 2nd Earl of Bridgewater and his wife Elizabeth Cavendish. His maternal grandparents were William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle and his first wife Elizabeth Basset.

On 17 November 1664, he married Lady Elizabeth Cranfield, daughter of James Cranfield, 2nd Earl of Middlesex. She gave birth to a son, but died in childbirth. He married his second wife on 2 April 1673, Lady Jane Paulet, eldest daughter of Charles Paulet, 1st Duke of Bolton.

He also served as Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire following his father's death in 1686 but was dismissed after his first period in office by King James II for refusing to produce a list of Roman Catholics to serve as officers of the militia. He was later reinstated to the position when William III came to the throne and James II was forced into exile.

He served as First Lord of Trade in the Convention Parliament, 1690–1691. He was promoted to the cabinet as First Lord of the Admiralty by the Whigs in 1699. He served in this position until March 1700/1.

He was chosen as a Speaker for the House of Lords in 1697 and then again for 1701.

On 2 April 1673, Bridgewater married his second wife Jane Paulet. She was a daughter of Charles Paulet, 1st Duke of Bolton and his second wife Mary Scrope. Mary was the eldest illegitimate daughter of Emanuel Scrope, 1st Earl of Sunderland, and his mistress Martha Jones; she became her father's co-heiress when a brother died childless. They had nine children:

 * Charles Egerton, Viscount Brackley (7 May 1675 – April 1687) died at age 11 at Bridgwater House, the Barbican, London, England, burnt to death in the fire which destroyed Bridgwater House. He was buried on 14 April 1687 at Little Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, England.
 * Lady Mary Egerton (14 May 1676 – 11 April 1704). Married William Byron, 4th Baron Byron

Sellafield railway station

Sellafield is a railway station on the Cumbrian Coast Line, which runs between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness. The station, situated 35 mi north-west of Barrow-in-Furness, serves Sellafield in Cumbria. It is owned by Network Rail and managed by Northern Trains.

The station, which dates from 1850, is a busy freight location, because much of the nuclear waste for Sellafield's THORP nuclear fuel reprocessing plant is carried there by train from the docks in Barrow-in-Furness, or from rail-connected nuclear power stations elsewhere in the UK. The facility also generates significant commuter traffic for the railway, with workers travelling by train from nearby towns and villages.

The station is at the end of the single-line section from Whitehaven, which is operated using the electric key token system. From there, the line south towards Ravenglass and Barrow is double track, except for the final section between Park South Junction (south of Askam) and Barrow, which was reduced to a single track in the late 1980s.

The station configuration is unusual in that the southbound ('up' line) is bi-directional through the station and has platform faces on both sides. However, only the eastern platform face is used, the other side being fenced off. This allows trains from the south to terminate and turn back without having to enter the single-line section to St Bees. The signal box controlling the layout is located at the north end of the station, whilst the exchange sidings for the plant, and the loco depot used by Direct Rail Services freight trains, are to the south. There are two water cranes at the station, one at each end.

The station used to be the southern terminus of the former Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont Railway line from Egremont, from August 1869 until the line's closure in March 1964.

Facilities
The station is not staffed, but there is now a ticket machine in the main building for passengers to buy tickets prior to travel. There is a waiting room on the southbound platform and a shelter on the opposite side; the rest of the main buildings are in private commercial use and there are no facilities for car parking. The platforms are linked by a footbridge which does not include ramps, so only the Barrow platform has step-free access. Train running information is provided by digital information screens, timetable posters and telephone.

Services
There is a basic hourly service (with a few variations) in each direction. Certain southbound trains continue to Lancaster, and one service from the south terminates and turns back at Sellafield on weekdays only. Since the summer 2018 timetable came into effect on 20 May, trains operate later into the evening than previously and also on Sundays, the latter provision being the first since May 1976.

It was reported in November 2011 that Direct Rail Services (DRS) had applied to the Office of Rail Regulation to operate one train in each direction between Carlisle and Sellafield to carry workers to Sellafield. Between May 2015 and December 2018, four trains per day each way ran to provide additional seating capacity for workers at the Sellafield plant, using Mark 2 coaches and Class 37 diesel locomotives hired in from DRS.

Old Money (The Simpsons)

"Old Money" is the seventeenth episode of the second season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on March 28, 1991.

The episode was written by Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky and directed by David Silverman. Professor Frink makes his debut in this episode. Audrey Meadows, star of the 1950s TV comedy The Honeymooners, guest stars as Beatrice "Bea" Simmons, Grampa's girlfriend. It features cultural references to films such as Tom Jones and If I Had a Million, and the Star Wars and Batman film franchises.

Since airing, the episode has received mixed reviews from television critics. It acquired a Nielsen rating of 12.3 and was the highest-rated show on Fox for the week.

Plot
Grampa falls in love with Beatrice "Bea" Simmons, a new resident at the Springfield Retirement Castle. Homer insists Grampa join the rest of the Simpsons at a cheap lion safari for their "fun day with Grampa" and ignores Grampa's protests that he is getting ready for Bea's birthday, dismissing her as a figment of Grampa's imagination. The safari trip goes wrong when Homer goes onto an unauthorized pathway that leaves the family surrounded by lions and trapped overnight until a warden rescues them. When he finally returns home, Jasper tells him that Bea has died of a burst ventricle, though a devastated Grampa believes she died of a broken heart. Deeply distressed by her death, Grampa attends her funeral, where he furiously tells a despondent Homer that it is his fault that he missed his last chance to be with Bea and disowns him, much to Homer's heartbreaking grief and his family's horror.

Grampa inherits $106,000 from Bea's estate and initially plans to spend it on himself, making sure to call Homer and tell him that he is not getting any of the inheritance. After Bea's ghost visits him on an amusement park roller coaster, he instead decides to give the money to people in need, and while he heeds Bea's plea to forgive Homer he also tells Homer he still would not get the money. Several of the townspeople visit Grampa with frivolous, greedy, and destructive proposals, disgusting him so much that he goes for a walk to clear his mind. Seeing the plight of Springfield's homeless residents during his walk, he realizes he does not have enough money to solve the city's problems.

Grampa goes on a gambling junket at Jasper's suggestion, hoping to win so much money that he can help everybody. Homer finds him on a winning streak at a casino's roulette tables and pleads for him to stop while he is ahead. The two struggle over the bet, and Homer manages to drag Grampa's chips off the table just before the wheel stops on a number he had not covered. After Grampa thanks Homer for saving him from losing the inheritance, they finally have a sincere reconciliation. Grampa uses the money to renovate the retirement home and has the dining room renamed in Bea's honor.

Production

The episode was written by Jay Kogen and Wallace Wolodarsky and directed by David Silverman. The safari was based on the drive-through Lion Country Safari, located in Loxahatchee, Palm Beach County, Florida, which Kogen used to visit when he was younger. "Old Money" was the first episode to feature Grampa's full name, Abraham Simpson. Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons, named the main characters after his own family members (except for Bart, an anagram of brat, which he substituted for his own name), but refused to name Grampa after his grandfather, Abram Groening. He left it to the writers to choose a name and they chose "Abraham".

The now recurring character Professor Frink makes his first appearance on the show in this episode. Frink was originally written as a mad scientist, but when cast member Hank Azaria ad-libbed a voice for Frink, he did an impression of Jerry Lewis's The Nutty Professor character, and the writing staff started making Frink more of a parody of Lewis. Frink was named after The Simpsons writer John Frink; however, that was before he became a writer for the show. The episode features a guest appearance from Audrey Meadows as Bea. Al Jean, a writer on the show, said Meadows was perfect for the role because she was very sweet, and the staff had a lot of fun during the recording sessions with her. This is the only episode to date where the end credits actually states which character(s) each actor voices.

Cultural references

The scene with Grampa and Bea eating their pills seductively is a reference to the 1963 film Tom Jones. Two of the people waiting in line to ask for Grampa's money are Darth Vader and the Joker. When the family is suggesting places they could go, Homer suggests the Springfield Mystery Spot, a reference to the Mystery Spot in California—although Lisa says the Springfield Spot is simply a puddle of mud. They eventually decide to go to the Discount Lion Safari, however. The Diz-Nee-Land amusement park Grampa visits with Bea's money has a sign that reads "Diz-Nee-Land—Not affiliated with Disneyland, Walt Disney World, or anything else from the Walt Disney Company". The shot of Grampa sitting at a diner resembles the 1942 American painting Nighthawks. Before Grampa attempts to bet all his money on Roulette he quotes the poem "If—" by Rudyard Kipling. The climax scenes, where Grampa uses the money to fix up the Springfield Retirement Castle, is a reference to the ending of the 1932 film If I Had a Million. Dr. Marvin Monroe's 'Monroe Box' is meant to be a spoof of B. F. Skinner's Skinner Box.

Reception
In its original American broadcast, "Old Money" finished thirty-sixth in the ratings for the week of March 25–31, 1991, with a Nielsen Rating of 12.4. It was the highest-rated show on Fox that week. The episode was released in video collection on May 4, 1994, called The Simpsons Collection, together with the episode "Dancin' Homer".

Since airing, the episode has received mixed reviews from television critics. The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, wrote: "a wonderful episode, very sad but ultimately uplifting, with great one-liners (particularly from Grampa)". Colin Jacobson of DVD Movie Guide was not as positive. He said, "With 'Old Money', we find easily the crummiest episode of season two. Actually, I'd call this clunker the only bad show of the year." He went on to say, "I guess 'Old Money' wasn't a truly terrible episode, as it included a few funny moments. However, it seemed like one of the sappiest Simpsons episodes ever. The program became inundated with sentiment, and it did little to leaven that tide. In a generally strong season, 'Old Money' stands out as the only real clunker."

Edits without citations to record sales and other facts. ..
Will not be permitted. All items added must be in accordance with Verifiability. Ronbo76 08:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Weasel words will be looked at carefully
Generally, weasel terms are statements that are misleading because they lack the normal substantiations of their truthfulness, as well as the background information against which these statements are made. Weasel terms are the equivalent of spin in the political sphere in British English. Saying that one artist is the best or a generalization like, "it has been decided" without citing a neutral POV veriable source will draw attention to your edits. Wikipedia is not a fansite where unsubstanitated rumors can be written. Ronbo76 17:05, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

WW SALES
On December 6, 2006, Paulina Rubio performed on Jay Leno and before she appeared, Jay Leno said that she had sold over 16 million albums worldwide. Check out this link:

 * Paulina Rubio sells over 16 million albums

 * Youtube is not considered a reliable source, even though the artist may appear. Citations are just like a term paper: you write it; it is back up by a third party neutral reliable source. Otherwise, it will not be accepted here. Ronbo76 07:12, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * None of your references checked. The first opened to a Nobel Peace site, which could be seen as a bad faith edit. Once again, if you cite a fact, i.e., "Rubio sold xx albums." The link must read on that page, "Rubio sold xx albums." If the citation is not veriable as per above, it will be reverted.

The article is valid as the album sales are listed near the end of the article. There is a section about her in the article. You need to read the article carefully before making false reverts.

75.6.247.40 07:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * You may wish to review Citing sources. That paragraph tells you how to properly cite a fact backed up by a reliable source. The problem with the citation you used is that the reference to her sales is a passing reference that invites a reasonable editor to ask what is the source. With an established fact like "Columbus sailed in 1492. . ." reliable third party sources are available to back the fact. With album sales about a current performer it is difficult to find a good source. Billboard might be that source but even it is subject to how record sales are reported, adjusted, etc. It is easier to find good sources for a performer whose numbers are not clicking like an odometer.

 * Wikipedia strives to preserve a reasonable amount of information about topics pertinent to an article. However, there is a caveat, and that involves what Wikipedia is not. WP:NOT Wikipedia is not a blog or indiscriminate collection of information. There is another proposal about what it is not: Wikipedia is not a fansite. Wikipedia is about preserving information in a reasonable manner that the next reader does not have to worry about how good Wikipedia's information is.

 * Inre Paulina Rubio's article, several editors like me have seen this and companion articles descended upon fans who want to make an impact statement without doing their homework. They will make edits without providing sources and in some instances make malicious edits. That is why this article was semi-protected less than a month ago.

 * Wikipedia strives for a Neutral point of view meaning that articles should be well written and grounded on facts. The best example given to me recently by another editor about how articles should be written is "term paper is a good analogy. An overview article in a scientific journal would be another example."

 * I will admit that I am a fan of Paulina's but that is where I have to stop myself concerning editting her article. If I put fansite blog material into her article, I am doing her readers a disserve and more importantly myself. As an editor I have to ask myself, "what would a reader of an encyclopedia expect to read?" Encyclopedias are facts written with a neutral point of view. If a reader is looking for facts, then Wikipedia and encyclopedias are the place to come. If not, then I would gently suggest that other sources of information should be sought out.

You may wish to review those articles cited in this note which are policy. Ronbo76 13:56, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * BTW, before I revert, I do a voluntary due diligence review. I did a Yahoo search last night on the term, Paulina Rubio album sales. It did not yield a good reliable NPOV cite. It was interesting to see this Paulina Rubio URL on her official website. This is a messageboard there with a link back to this article and its author states,

 * "I used Paulina’s Wikipedia article as a reference for most of the album sales figures. It doesn’t list all of them, but it is a start. Here is a link to that article: (Wikipedia link not included.)"

 * Wikipedia is not the reference for her album sales. Ronbo76 15:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Note to all editors why this article might be receiving anonymous IP edits - her official website message board has a link back to this article
All editors may wish to review my post above this one. To make it easy for you, I wrote:

I will not pretend to be an expert on this matter but ask that editors consider this when seeing record sales posts.

 * I should add, that the artist is probably not responsible for the messages on her website message board. Ronbo76 17:04, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Elimination of album sales to improve this article
I will discuss with other editors the number one way to cut down on the number of vandal edits - the elimination of album sale numbers. Gold, silver and bronze sales are more easily tracked achievements. Ronbo76 04:09, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Is there such a thing as silver and bronze when it comes to albums sales? Isn't that the way they award olympic athletes? Album awards are gold, platinum, and diamond.

In some countries, like the UK, in terms of albums it goes silver, gold and platinum

Anyone wanna add on to her lipstick/lipglass edition to MAC? All info is on the site

 * User has notified about this article in the Spanish Administrators' noticeboard and doesn't proceeds (is a different article). I will answer here:

 * He said that I just reverted him without any reason. It's ironic, because I removed some statements on December 12 with a edit summary ("Bias. PEACOCK context. Also, top-selling Mexican female maybe in Nielsen figures (and is not update information)"). But actually he reverted my edition without any reason or at least without making a edit summary since today.
 * However, I oppose about the version that he restored. Why?: some references like YouTube not meets the criteria of verifiability. It's a PEACOCK context also, because even artists like Thalía, Shakira or Gloria Estefan have been named with this honorific nickname several decade ago and by international press and more than Paulina Rubio.
 * The reference about "top-selling mexican artist" (in United States) is not accurate information now. Since 2008, Thalía has sold more than Paulina Rubio according to Nielsen. Even, I think that she has more certified units.

If you see, there is not vandalism. Contrary, you started reverting without any reason and I explained why this version needs to be delete. Regards, Chrishonduras  ( Diskussion ) 09:18, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Can you see this is a Thalia's fan reverting versions in Paulina Rubio's article? This clearly a vandalism case. What is it doing a Thalia fan editing Paulina Rubio's article in Wikipedia? Did you notice he uses the phrase "I think"? This is a valid argument to revert versions in Wikipedia? Because he thinks? Please you got to do something.

 * So can you please bring that reliable reference where Nielsen says Thalia has sold more albums than Paulina Rubio? Because this is not a real Nielsen reference, and this is outdated too, this is from 2008! This is not accurate information now. And besides that's not an article is just a forum where anyone can ask and answer a question. This is not accurate information in anyway. The same arguments that you use. In 2006 Emi Music gives Thalia an award for having sold 10 million albums throughout her career, wich means 10 millions albums in 16 years.  Two years later Thalia was fired in 2008 from the same record label Emi Music for low record sales from her album "Lunada" . Then in 2009 she signs with Sony Music where her husband Tommy Mottola was president, and she went from one day to another from 10 millions to 40 millions. How did it happens? 30 millions albums sold in one year?

So there's not any Billboard o Nielsen reliable reference saying Thalia has sold more albums than Paulina Rubio, because the one you mention is outdated. And is not accurate information.
 * Paulina Rubio is the only mexican female singer with 2 Gold "standard type certifications" according to RIAA Here is important to repeat these are "Gold Standard Type certifications" wich represents 500,000 record sales each one in USA, and Thalia only have "Latin Type Certifications" representing only 30,000 sales in USA each one...

Please stop reverting versions just because you are Thalia's fan and Paulina Rubio's hater, this are a clear example of vandalism. Regards, Carlomagno2013  ( Diskussion )

 * That is more incredible. I just arguing the point about Thalía (ref 2008) vs Rubio (ref 2005) in sales. Who has oldest news?. This is not reason to be a "Thalía fan" or "Paulina Rubio hater". Please Assume good faith. And yet, is realible, is from Billboard.com and they have a section when a reader asked about sales or something from this section. However, you see with a realible source that Rubio is not the best-selling female artist in United States or can you provide a update about this statement, please?.

Please stop making disruptive editions or you can be blocked. Thanks, Chrishonduras  ( Diskussion ) 16:45, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Nobody said Paulina Rubio is the top-selling female artist in the United States, who said that? Even my reference doesn't even said that, you keep lying and lying and taking control of Paulina Rubios's article. Thanks for you threatens, so if you are not a Thalia's fan why are you doing edits in her article in Wikipedia? It is clear you have an special interest in Paulina Rubio's article, and we remember when you wrote in the description that Thalia is the Queen of Latin pop, not Paulina! And you blocked the article from editings right after doing that vandalism! Do you really think we don't have memory? I repeat you keep lying and lying. Carlomagno2013 ( Diskussion )

 * So, what's the point about your comments?. This is Paulina Rubio's article, not Thalía's article. You're creating disruptive editions here. And... "top-selling Mexican female pop singer in the market" in which market?, United States?, Worldwide?. Reference said: "according to Nielsen SoundScan, Paulina is -after Shakira- the top selling Latin femela pop artist in the market". Where operates Nielsen SoundScan? for Mexico, Europe or Worldwide? I think that is only for United States/Canada. Doesnt makes sense this statement in the lead or in any part. And at least, in the context that you wrote Queen of Latin Pop is PEACOCK. There is not mention why and I can gave you opposite and a major context for other artists with this nickname. Chrishonduras  ( Diskussion ) 08:17, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

In the main topic should be golden girl not only queen of pop
She's best known and referred to as "the golden girl" not only as "the queen of latin pop" so it should be included too in the main topic since its one of the most famous characteristics of her. Moonlight Entm (talk) 05:36, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Nottingham city centre

Nottingham city centre is the cultural, commercial, financial and historical heart of Nottingham, England, and represents the central area of the Greater Nottingham conurbation.

The centre of the city is usually defined as the Old Market Square, one of the largest surviving town squares in the United Kingdom. Covering about 12,000 square metres, it is within the boundaries of the centuries-old Great Market Place, which covered about 22,000 square metres. A major redevelopment of the Old Market Square was completed in March 2007. Many of the main shopping streets surround the square, which is dominated by Nottingham's city hall. Much of the ground floor of the building houses the Exchange Arcade, a boutique shopping centre.

A Bohemian quarter of the city known as Hockley has gained popularity in recent years, situated close to the Lace Market area.

The north-western end of the city centre is home to the Nottingham Trent University city campus, which contains a mix of old and new buildings. The university's Newton building is one of the tallest buildings in Nottingham and has a prominent position on the city's skyline.

Nottingham's central railway station is located in the city centre. Nottingham Express Transit trams also service the area.

Shopping
Nottingham city centre has been ranked fifth on Experian's list of the top 15 UK retail areas.

The city centre's fashion core is centred on Bridlesmith Gate, which is home to upmarket names such as Kurt Geiger, Ted Baker and Diesel. Sir Paul Smith's flagship store is located on Middle Pavement, and Hugo Boss is located on St. Peter's Gate.

Zones
Nottingham city centre is split into five "zones", which were introduced with the Nottingham Parksmart scheme in 2009 to signpost visitors to parking facilities and tourist attractions. The zones are named:

 * Lace Market
 * Broadmarsh
 * Castle
 * Royal
 * Victoria

There is also an area within the city known as the Creative Quarter.

Visitor attractions
Nottingham Castle is a popular attraction for visitors to the city due to its links with Robin Hood. The Brewhouse Yard Museum (Museum of Nottingham Life) and the Museum of Costume and Textiles are close by.

Part of Nottingham's expansive cave network is open to the public through the City of Caves attraction, and the Galleries of Justice on High Pavement was once a fully functioning Victorian courtroom.

Notable churches within the city centre include the Roman Catholic Nottingham Cathedral and the medieval St. Mary's Church at the heart of the Lace Market.

The National Ice Centre (adjoined to Motorpoint Arena Nottingham) is located close to the city's Lace Market quarter and is the first twin Olympic ice-pad facility in the UK. It is the home of the Nottingham Panthers, a professional ice-hockey team.

Rock City is a mid-sized music venue that draws many popular bands from across the world, and so is an important part of Nottingham's music tourism scene.

Every summer the Market Square hosts the annual Nottingham Beach, funded by Mellor Events. It includes an artificial beach, beach bar and rides.

Entertainment
Nottingham is home to a wide variety of entertainment venues, the largest of which is the 10,000-seater Motorpoint Arena Nottingham (part of the National Ice Centre), where many big-name acts perform regularly.

The city's major producing theatre, the Nottingham Playhouse, has built up a national reputation for its exciting, innovative and contemporary new works.

The Nottingham Royal Centre incorporates the 2,500-seater Royal Concert Hall and the Victorian Theatre Royal. The Royal Concert Hall is the region's top venue for classical music and regularly plays host to world-class orchestras and ballets, while the Theatre Royal is considered one of the finest venues in the country for major touring West End musicals and plays.

Nottingham has a significant stand-up comedy scene, with a large open mic circuit. Nottingham's branch of The Glee Club is situated along the Nottingham Canal.

The Cornerhouse entertainment complex houses a multi-screen Cineworld cinema, a multitude of continental pavement cafés and restaurants, a casino, a flight simulator and an indoor crazy 18-hole golf course.

Eastside City
There is a redevelopment project in progress that is changing the former industrial brownfield area to the east of Nottingham city centre's historic core, which will be known as Eastside City. This area stretches from the Nottingham-Beeston Canal in the south towards the National Ice Centre. There are plans to create a site named 'The Island', which will form the heart of the regeneration zone with public open spaces, restaurants and bars and a park for the city's inhabitants. The planned development consists of homes, offices and retail units.

Notable buildings

 * Arkwright Building, Nottingham Trent University
 * Newton Building, Nottingham Trent University
 * Nottingham Council House
 * Nottingham Playhouse
 * Nottingham Castle
 * Nottingham Cathedral
 * St. Mary's Church
 * Nottingham railway station
 * Broadmarsh Shopping Centre
