# My Friend Walter

My Friend Walter is a children's fiction novel by Michael Morpurgo. It was first published in Great Britain by William Heinemann in 1988. The book was shortlisted for the 1989 Smarties Prize.

## Plot

This book follows a girl called Bess who goes to a family reunion. She meets a stranger who tells her to visit the Bloody Tower, in London. Bess sees Sir Walter Raleigh in London and Walter asks Bess if he can come and live on her estate.
   Living with a ghost can have its difficulties, I discovered, even if he is your friend. Remember Sir Walter Raleigh who laid his cloak in a puddle so Queen Elizabeth the first could walk across? Well, Bess meets his ghost and finds out he's her ancestor! How will Bess explain Sir Walter to her family? Especially when he breaks her brothers fishing rod, steals a horse and smokes cigars in her room!

## Reviews

In their review of the audiobook, the School Library Journal said the narrator Barbara Ewing "has a pleasant voice and her easy-to-understand British accent will expand the listening skills of youngsters". They also noted that the novel has a "fast-moving plot that contains touches of humor, and a smattering of history that should pique interest in Sir Walter Raleigh".

## Film adaption

The novel was adapted into a television movie in 1992. It was shown in two parts between 24 April and 1 May 1992 as part of ITV's CITV strand. It was directed by Gavin Millar, and starred Polly Grant as Bess Throckmorton and Ronald Pickup as Sir Walter Raleigh. British producer Eric Abraham said "we had to make this film in the most cost effective way possible and I'm afraid it shows"; the budget for the film was £750,000. Steve Clarke said in his review that "it might not be the stuff of Bafta awards, but the film is a refreshing glimpse of good, narrative children's television with a convincing contemporary setting, this is not short-attention-span television and there isn't a computer graphic or game in sight".
Sue-Ellen Beauregard wrote in Booklist that "the pace of this pleasing drama picks up when Walter intervenes to help Bess' grandmother recover from a heart attack, pinpoint the identities of local cattle rustlers, and intercede when Bess' family loses their farm due to financial difficulties. Beautiful vistas of the British countryside and special effects involving Sir Walter's ability to disappear as well as to frighten local rapscallions add to the lure of this top-notch film". It also aired on PBS on 21 November 1993.
# Mighty Like a Moose

Mighty Like a Moose is a 1926 American silent comedy short film written by Charley Chase and directed by Leo McCarey. It was released by Pathé Exchange on July 18, 1926.
This two-reel short comedy is considered by some scholars to be Chase's finest silent film and is routinely listed among the greatest of all silent comedy short subjects. In 2007, Mighty Like A Moose was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, which recognizes American films deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

## Plot

In this short silent comedy, a homely husband and his equally unsightly wife improve their looks with plastic surgery without telling each other. The two later meet, and not recognizing each other, begin to flirt, both thinking they are cheating on their spouse. The film is representative of Chase's adroit blend of farce, surrealism, and sight gags.

# Caerhun

Caerhun (Welsh: Caerhûn) is a scattered rural community, and former civil parish, on the west bank of the River Conwy. It lies to the south of Henryd and the north of Dolgarrog, in Conwy County Borough, Wales, and includes several small villages and hamlets including Llanbedr-y-cennin, Rowen, Tal-y-bont and Ty'n-y-groes.

It includes a large part of the Carneddau range including the lakes of Llyn Eigiau, Llyn Dulyn and Llyn Melynllyn.

## Features

Surrounding the 14th-century parish church of St. Mary are the banks of the Roman fort of Canovium. The excavations of the Roman site were directed by P.K. Baillie Reynolds, of Aberystwyth University, over a period of four summers in the 1920s, although there have of course been several other publications since.
The church and its churchyard occupy the north-east quarter of the original Roman site. Canovium was built at an ancient river crossing and was an important post on the Roman road and ancient drovers road via Bwlch-y-Ddeufaen to Abergwyngregyn and the Menai Strait. Latterly the best crossing point, now with a bridge, has been at nearby Tal-y-Cafn. After the end of Roman rule in Britain, the fort was associated with King Rhun Hir of Gwynedd, hence the subsequent name.
Caer Rhûn Hall is a Grade II listed building. Its gardens and grounds are listed, also at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.
Arthur Tysilio Johnson, the "Perfidious Welshman", lived at Oakbank, Caerhun, and developed an important garden around the house and the Bulkeley Mill in the grounds which feature in a number of his works. The garden is listed at Grade II on the Cadw/Icomos register.

# Tell Chuera

Tell Chuera (also Tell Ḫuera and Tall Ḥuwaira and Tall Chuera and Tell Khuera) is an ancient Near Eastern tell site in Raqqa Governorate, northern Syria. It lies between the Balikh and Khabur rivers.

## Site details

The site of Tell Chuera is roughly 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) in diameter and 18 metres (59 ft) high.

## History

Tell Chuera was settled in the Early Bronze (3rd millennium BC), and again in the Late Bronze (Late 2nd millennium BC).

### Early Bronze

Originally occupied during the 4th millennium, Tell Chuera became a major site in the 3rd millennium during the Early Dynastic period. It reached its peak around 2350 BC and was then abandoned for reasons as yet unknown.
In the Early Bronze IVB, the site was active during the Ur III period (c. 2112–2004 BC).

### Late Bronze

A small settlement was built on the location by the Mittani during the middle 2nd millennium BC followed by the Assyrians. Equid bones from that period have been identified as horses. During Middle Assyrian times it was known as Harbe. It has been proposed that in earlier times its name was Abarsal.

## Excavation history

The site was first described by Max von Oppenheim in 1913. Excavations were begun in 1958 by a team from the Free University of Berlin led by Anton Moortgat. These efforts continued until the late 1960s. Mittani period structures (Knicksachstempel and Mittani-Bau) were uncovered. With a new co-leader, Ursula Moortgat-Correns, digs occurred in 1973, 1974 and 1976. At the top of the mound three buildings of undressed stone were found (Steinbau I, II, and III) and in the center a mudbrick temple building (Kleiner Antentempe - Smaller Antentemple). In Steinbau I, which had 6 building phases, decorated bronze vessels and bent copper pins with ball heads and flattened perforated shanks (similar to those in the royal cemetery at Ur) from the Early Dynastic period were found. Some clay sealings, sealed with typical ED cylinder seals, were also recovered. The temple had a processional way "lined with rough, megalithic stone stelai" between 2 and 3 meters in height. In an adjacent area were found a number of alabaster statue fragments of votive statues representing males with long wigs, square-cut beards and garments with fleecy fringes, the tallest being 35 centimeters.
After a 5 year hiatus caused by the death of Anton Moortgat in 1977 work resumed in 1982. Two teams worked at the site, one under the direction of Winfried Orthmann of the University of Halle and the other under Ursula Moortgat-Correns, until 1998. Excavation then was taken up by a team from the Goethe University Frankfurt, under the direction of Professor Jan-Waalke Meyer from 1998 to 2005.

# San Juan Bautista, Vélez-Málaga

The Iglesia de San Juan Bautista or the Church of San Juan Bautista is a Roman Catholic church dedicated to John the Baptist, in Vélez-Málaga, in the province of Málaga, Spain. It is an art-historical monument that, over time, has undergone multiple architectural changes to its structure based on existing trends.
The original church dates from 1487 and was built in the Gothic-Mudejar style. In that same century it was remodeled and between 1541 and 1564, Fray Bernardo Manrique, the then bishop, carried out further expansion, building the tower at this time.
Significant changes were made during the Baroque period, traces of which still remain. Further reforms were carried out in the late eighteenth century. This involved the decoration of the sacristy, an extraordinary piece, built in 1789, and attributed to José Martín de Aldehuela.
Its portal is accessed through a lobby with Evangelio nave, has fine stucco decoration with vegetal elements and apocalyptic symbols. The main changes carried out to the original church were done between 1853 and 1860, by Bishop Juan Nepomuceno Castellana, from which it acquired its neoclassical imprint. These works were commissioned by attorney Federico Vahey, then minister of Grace and Justice under Isabel II. He ordered the construction of the funerary chapel to be dedicated to the worship of San Federico, now known as the Cristo de las Vigías.

# Tell Beydar

Tell Beydar is a village and ancient site along the Khabur river in the modern Al-Hasakah Governorate, Syria about 30 kilometers north of the modern city of Hasake. It was the Ancient Near Eastern city of Nabada. It is connected by road to Al-Darbasiyah on the Turkish border in the north.

## History

Nabada was first settled during the Early Dynastic Period circa 2600 BC. By around 2500 BC a medium-sized independent city-state had developed. At that point, it became a provincial capital under the kingdom centered at Nagar, now Tell Brak. After the Jezirah region was conquered by the Akkadians, Nabada became an outpost of that empire. The city was then abandoned until re-occupied for a time circa 1400 BC by the Hurrians (Mitanni) and again in the Neo-Assyrian and Hellenistic periods.

## Archaeology

The central site of Tell Beydar covers about 22 hectares. It has a circular walled central mound (7 hectares) with a circular walled lower town (Beydar I). This is referred to as a Kranzhügel or "cup-and-saucer" tell in archaeology. In the early part of the 3rd millennium BC both sections were occupied but from the middle of the millennium on only the central mound was occupied. A much later 50 ha (120-acre) Hurrian/Neo-Assyrian site lies at the base of the tell (Beydar II). At the top of the tell there is a Hellenistic settlement. A kilometer to the south there is a small Late Chalcolithic tell (Beydar III). Tell Beydar was excavated for 17 seasons, beginning in 1992 and ending in 2010, by a joint Syrian and European team made up of the European Centre for Upper Mesopotamian Studies and the Directorate-General of Antiquities and Museums of Syria. There were also several restoration seasons. The team leads are Marc Lebeau and Antoine Suleiman. A number of other institutions, including the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago have also participated. Besides the architectural and pottery findings from the excavation, almost 250 early cuneiform tablets and fragments were recovered, dating from the Early Dynastic III period, roughly a generation before the fall of Ebla. The tablets are agricultural records for the most part, but do establish some synchronisms with Tell Brak. The language used in the tablets is a variant of the Akkadian language and the personal names referred to were Semitic. Small finds include a number of bronze (both tin and arsenical) objects. A number of clay sealings have also been recovered. Finds from Tell Beydar are on display in the Deir ez-Zor Museum.
