Carbucketty

Carbucketty is a character from the musical Cats. The name was one of T. S. Eliot's ideas for cat names, for a "knockabout cat". His role is primarily that of a dancer and acrobat.

Carbucketty appeared in both the original London and Broadway shows. In 1987, when the Broadway show was reworked, the character was renamed Mungojerrie. The actor who played Mungojerrie after the show was reworked, Ray Roderick, had played Carbucketty for a few months prior.

Carbucketty's costume suggests a Bi-colour tabby and white kitten. He has defined stripes as well as spots on a white base. A short fluffy wig and chunky warmers give the impression of a young, fluffy kitten.

Most fans consider Carbucketty to be a counterpart of Pouncival- a kitten with a similar personality and design who appears in many productions around the world. This may be because for the filmed version of the show the costume and role of Carbucketty was named Pouncival, as it was deemed more sensible for an international market to use the names used internationally. However Carbucketty and Pouncival is one and the same part. For the entire record breaking 21-year run of Cats in London the part was named Carbucketty.

Carbucketty was originally played by Luke Baxter in the original London production.
Jye Frasca was the final Carbucketty in the West End Production at the New London Theatre 2002.

A UK tour started at the Theatre Royal, Plymouth in February 2003 with Paul Farrell as Carbucketty.

UK Tour Carbucketty’s:
Paul Farrell 2003,
Richard Curto 2003-04,
Philip Comley 2004-05,
Kevin McGuire 2006-07,
Craig Turbyfield 2007-08,

Joel Morris played the role from the beginning of the 2013-14 UK & Europe tour until May 2014, returning to the tour in August 2014 due to cast injury and remaining in the role until the tour's end in November, transferring across to the London Palladium revival of the show, once again reprising the role of Carbucketty from the opening in December 2014 until the run's end in April 2015. Morris briefly returned to the role in April 2017 during the international tour's stops in Croatia and Belgium, again due to cast injury.

Broadway show of 2016 features Giuseppe Bausilio as Carbucketty.

Culrain railway station

Culrain railway station serves the village of Culrain in  Kyle of Sutherland in the Highland council area of Scotland. It is located on the Far North Line. It is  from , between Ardgay and Invershin. ScotRail, who manage the station, operate all services.

History 
The station opened in 1871, as part of the Sutherland Railway, later becoming part of the Highland Railway and later the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.

The original nameboard is now preserved at the Bredgar and Wormshill Light Railway, in Kent (see left).

Location 
The station is close to Carbisdale Castle, which operated from 1945 to 2011 as a youth hostel owned by the Scottish Youth Hostels Association.  The hostel has been closed since 2011 as a result of structural damage. Following its sale to a consortium in 2016,  planning permission was granted in 2017/2018 to turn the castle back into a private residence but now with swimming pool.

Facilities 
The station has a waiting shelter, a bench, a help point and cycle racks, and has step-free access. As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.

On , Transport Scotland introduced a new "Press & Ride" system at Culrain, following successful trials of the system at  over the previous four months. Previously, passengers wishing to board a train at Scotscalder had to flag the train by raising their arm (as is still done at other request stops around the country); this meant that the driver needed to reduce the train's speed before a request stop (to look out for any potential passengers on the platform and be able to stop if necessary), even if the platform was empty. The new system consists of an automatic kiosk (with a button for passengers to press) at the platform; this will alert the driver about any waiting passengers in advance and, if there is no requirement to stop, the train can maintain line speed through the request stops, thus improving reliability on the whole line.

Platform layout 
The station has a single platform which is long enough for a five-coach train. The railway line through Culrain is single track, with the nearest passing loop to the north being at  and to the south at .

Services 
On Mondays to Saturdays, there are four trains a day southbound to  and four northbound to . On Sundays, there is one train in each direction.

Praed Street

Praed Street () is a street in Paddington, west London, in the City of Westminster, most notable for being the location of London Paddington station. It runs south-westerly, straight from Edgware Road to Craven Road, Spring Street and Eastbourne Terrace. East of Norfolk Place, the street is one-way eastbound; westbound traffic has to use Sussex Gardens and Norfolk Place, and this includes the eight London bus routes that serve the street: the 7, 23, 27, 36, 205, N7, N27 and N205.

History
Praed Street was originally laid out in the early 19th century, being built up in 1828. It was named after William Praed, chairman of the company which built the canal basin which lies just to the north.

In 1893 plans were put forward by the Edgware Road and Victoria Railway company to build an underground railway along the Edgware Road which included the construction of a Tube station at Praed Street. The scheme was rejected by Parliament and the line was never built.

Overview
On the north west side of the street are Paddington Station and the Great Western Hotel, the Royal Mail Western depot, and St Mary's Hospital. The south east side is predominantly retail but includes the frontage for Paddington Underground (Bakerloo, Circle and District lines) station. At the far north east end, on the north west side, is a prominent 1980s extension to the Hilton London Metropole Hotel. 

Morocco maintains a consulate at number 97-99.

In literature and film  
Solar Pons, a pastiche of Sherlock Holmes created by August Derleth, had his home at 7B Praed Street.

American poet Richard Hugo wrote the poem "Walking Praed Street", which first appeared in his book of poems, The Lady in Kicking Horse Reservoir. The poem's first two lines are said to be two of the greatest American lines ever written: "I've walked this street in far too many towns./ The weather, briefly: in Salerno, rain."

Praed Street appeared in the political thriller novel House of Cards, and subsequently in its television adaptation, as an accommodation address set up by main protagonist Francis Urquhart as part of a plot to force the resignation of the sitting Prime Minister.

Praed Street is the setting for the 1928 novel The Murders in Praed Street by John Rhode.

Praed Street is mentioned in Ira Levin's Rosemary's Baby. Somebody compares a house there with the house (Bramford in New York) where the protagonists live: "There was a house in London, on Praed Street, in which five separate brutal murders took place within sixty years."

In The Dark Labyrinth by Lawrence Durrell, a character complains he 'could not be carried away by fairy tales of the Second Coming written in this Praed Street vein' (chapter three).

Invershin railway station

Invershin railway station is a railway station in the Highland council area of Scotland. The station is on the Far North Line,  from , between Culrain and Lairg. ScotRail, who manage the station, operate all services.

History 
The station opened on 13 April 1868, as part of the Sutherland Railway, later becoming part of the Highland Railway and later the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.

Location 

It is extremely close to the previous station on the line, at , situated at the opposite side of Shin Viaduct (or 'Oykel Viaduct'), a major structure on the Far North line which crosses the Kyle of Sutherland at its narrowest point.

Facilities 
Invershin only has very basic facilities, being a waiting shelter, a help point and bike racks. As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.

On , Transport Scotland introduced a new "Press & Ride" system at Invershin, following successful trials of the system at  over the previous four months. Previously, passengers wishing to board a train at Scotscalder had to flag the train by raising their arm (as is still done at other request stops around the country); this meant that the driver needed to reduce the train's speed before a request stop (to look out for any potential passengers on the platform and be able to stop if necessary), even if the platform was empty. The new system consists of an automatic kiosk (with a button for passengers to press) at the platform; this will alert the driver about any waiting passengers in advance and, if there is no requirement to stop, the train can maintain line speed through the request stops, thus improving reliability on the whole line.

Services 
In the December 2021 timetable, four trains call at Invershin each way (four to Inverness, four to Wick via Thurso) on weekdays and Saturdays. On Sundays, there is just one train each way.

This station is designated as a request stop. This means that passengers intending to alight must inform the guard in advance, and any passengers wishing to board must press a "request" button located at the kiosk on the platform.

Catholic Church in Angola

The Catholic Church in Angola is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.

Catholicism was introduced to Angola by the Portuguese in 1491 when the first missionaries arrived. 

Many of the missionaries saw themselves as Portuguese, rather than integrating into Angolan society. Non-Portuguese missionaries were required to renounce the laws of their own country and submit to Portuguese law, as well as prove their ability to speak and write the Portuguese language. The Colonial Act of 1930 advanced the view that Portuguese Catholic missions to the country were "instruments of civilization and national influence".

Demographics

The last census in 2014 noted that 56.4% of the population were Roman Catholic. 

As of 2020, approximately 53.85% of the population professed the Catholic faith, due largely to Angola's status as a former Portuguese colony.

Internal structure
The Catholic Church has 19 dioceses in Angola, including 5 archdioceses.  All the bishops are members of the regional Episcopal Conference of Angola and São Tomé.

Archdiocese of Huambo
Diocese of Benguela
Diocese of Kwito-Bié
Archdiocese of Luanda
Diocese of Cabinda
Diocese of Caxito
Diocese of Mbanza Congo
Diocese of Sumbe
Diocese of Viana
Archdiocese of Lubango
Diocese of Menongue
Diocese of Ondjiva
Diocese of Namibe
Archdiocese of Malanje
Diocese of Ndalatando
Diocese of Uíje
Archdiocese of Saurímo
Diocese of Dundo
Diocese of Lwena

Influence

The Catholic University of Angola opened in 1998.

In 2020, the  Vatican noted that there are over 1200 priests and 2200 nuns in Angola, serving 469 parishes and 44 Catholic hospitals.

The Catholic radio station Ecclesia is broadcast in 16 of Angola's 18
provinces. Vatican Radio and Maria Radio also operate in the country.

Rogart railway station

Rogart railway station is a railway station serving the villages of Rogart and Pittentrail, in the Highland council area of Scotland. The station is on the Far North Line,  from Inverness, between Golspie and Lairg. ScotRail, who manage the station, operate all services.

History 
The Sutherland Railway opened between  and  on 13 April 1868. Among the intermediate stations was one at Rogart, which opened with the line.

In common with six other stations north of Bonar Bridge (now ), the station at Rogart was closed on 13 June 1960 with the intention of making economies; but the cuts were seen as too drastic, and Rogart station alone was reopened on 6 March 1961. Three months later, on 12 June 1961, it was renamed Rogart Halt, but has since reverted to Rogart.

Facilities 

The station has benches on both platforms, with a shelter on platform 1, and a waiting area on platform 2. there are also bike racks and a help point on platform 2, as well as a small car park adjacent to platform 2. There are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train. Three old railway coaches offer accommodation, with discounts for those arriving and leaving by train.

On , Transport Scotland introduced a new "Press & Ride" system at Rogart, following successful trials of the system at  over the previous four months. Previously, passengers wishing to board a train at Scotscalder had to flag the train by raising their arm (as is still done at other request stops around the country); this meant that the driver needed to reduce the train's speed before a request stop (to look out for any potential passengers on the platform and be able to stop if necessary), even if the platform was empty. The new system consists of an automatic kiosk (with a button for passengers to press) at the platforms; this will alert the driver about any waiting passengers in advance and, if there is no requirement to stop, the train can maintain line speed through the request stops, thus improving reliability on the whole line.

Platform layout 

The platform on the northbound line can accommodate trains having five coaches, whereas the southbound platform can hold six.

Services 
The station sees 4 trains to Inverness and 4 trains to Wick, on weekdays and Saturdays. On Sundays this drops to just 1 train each way.

Bernard Lewis (entrepreneur)

Bernard Lewis (born 10 February 1926) is the English entrepreneur behind the River Island fashion brand and clothing chain.

Early life
He was born on 10 February 1926, and educated at the Jewish Free School, and Northern Polytechnic Institute. He helped in his parents’ greengrocer as a child and from that experience gained skills like learning how to price stock, understand what customers wanted and reduce waste. He served in the RAF from 1944 to 1945.

Career
Lewis opened his first fruit and vegetable shop in the North London area (on Holloway Road) at the age of 20  and began selling clothing, primarily blouses and skirts, then dresses, in the 1940s.  His first clothes shop was in Mare Street, Hackney.

During the 1970s, he launched a chain of clothing stores, later called Chelsea Girl.

Lewis also founded Lewis Separates.

He founded the Lewis Trust Group with his elder brother David and younger brother Geoffrey, but the latter two left in 1977.

Lewis is estimated to be worth £1,030m (€1,484m). In 2015, he was at position 83 on the Sunday times Rich List.

River Island is now run by his nephew, Ben Lewis.

Personal life
His "right-hand man in the 1970s" was Leonard, his elder son from his first marriage. In 1968, he married Jennifer Oldham, née Johnston, who modeled and acted under the name Jenny Meredith. She died in 1975.

In 1981, he married Vanessa Bracey who had been a buyer for Chelsea Girl since 1970, and whom he had been in a relationship with since 1972. They have two sons, Sam and Jacob.

Tokodede language

Tokodede (also known as Tukude, Tocodede, Tokodé, and Tocod) is one of the languages of East Timor, spoken by about 39,000 people in the municipality of Liquiçá, especially the administrative posts of Maubara and Liquiçá along the northern reaches of the Loes River system. The number of speakers has declined in recent years. It is a Malayo-Polynesian language in the Timor group.

The first significant text published in Tokodede was , translated by João Paulo T. Esperança, Fernanda Correia, and Cesaltina Campos from an article by João Paulo T. Esperança entitled "A Brief Look at the Literature of Timor". The Tokodede version was published in the literary supplement Várzea de Letras, published by the Department of Portuguese Language of the National University of Timor-Leste, in Dili, in December 2005.

The 28th World Cup season began in late October 1993 in Sölden, Austria, and concluded in March 1994 at the World Cup finals at Vail in the United States.  The overall champions were Kjetil André Aamodt of Norway (his first) and Vreni Schneider of Switzerland (her second).

A break in the schedule in February was for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.  This was a shift by the International Olympic Committee to have the Winter Olympics offset from the Summer Olympics, although keeping each on four-year schedules.  As a result, this Winter Olympics took place just two years after the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France.

Golspie railway station

Golspie railway station is a railway station serving the village of Golspie in the Highland council area of Scotland. It is on the Far North Line, situated between Rogart and Dunrobin Castle,  from . ScotRail, who manage the station, operate all services.

History 
It was designed with a combined post office by the architect William Fowler, and opened on 13 April 1868. Originally, it was the northern terminus of the Sutherland Railway, which had been intended to continue to Brora but had run out of money after reaching Golspie. The Duke of Sutherland used his own personal finances to build the line onwards through Brora to Helmsdale, this being the Duke of Sutherland's Railway, completed on 19 June 1871.

The station formerly had two platforms and a passing loop. One platform remains in use and the loop has been lifted. The station building is in an excellent state of repair following recent renovation.

The former goods yard is to the south of the station. The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1935 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1957 to 1959 and 1964, no coaches were at the station in 1960 and 1961, then a Pullman camping coach was here in 1962, 1963 and 1965 and finally two ordinary coaches were here in 1966 and 1967.

Golspie Station House which sits on the unmanned platform was converted in 2002/2003 to a four bedroom home.

The 'Golspie North' and 'Golspie South' signal boxes are demolished.

Facilities 

The station has one platform, with a small car park, a waiting shelter, bike racks and a help point. As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.

Services 
On weekdays and Saturdays, there are 4 trains each way (i.e., 4 to Inverness and 4 to Wick). On Sundays, this drops to just one in each direction.

1991–92 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup

The 26th World Cup season began in November 1991 in the United States and concluded in March 1992 in Switzerland.  The overall winners were Paul Accola of Switzerland, his first, and Petra Kronberger of Austria, her third straight.

A major change during this season was made to the scoring system, moving from a "Top 15" system, with 25 points for first, 20 for second, and 15 for third down to 1 for 15th, to a "Top 30" system, with 100 for first, 80 for second, and 60 for third down to 1 for 30th. A slight change was made to the points awarded at lower levels in 1992-93, and that revised system has remained in effect until the present.  This was also the first season after the dissolution of Yugoslavia into multiple nations, with its traditional skiing resorts (Kranjska Gora and Maribor) becoming part of Slovenia, and the Soviet Union also dissolved during this season, on 25/26 December 1991.
 
A break in the schedule in February was for the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France from 9-22 February.
