The **Bermuda national rugby union team** represents Bermuda in the sport of rugby union. Bermuda are the current Caribbean Champions 2019 although they have thus far not played in a Rugby World Cup, but have participated in qualifying tournaments[*citation needed*].

## History

Bermuda first played in qualifying tournaments for a Rugby World Cup in the Americas tournaments for the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa. Bermuda were eliminated from North-Round 1, losing 3 points to 60 to the United States. Bermuda attempted to qualify for the 1999 Rugby World Cup in Wales as well, participating in Group 2 of Round 1 Americas qualifying, where they finished at the top of their pool after defeating both the Bahamas and Barbados, and advancing to Round 2. They defeated Trinidad and Tobago in their first match, but then lost to Chile, and finished second, ending their qualifying run.

Bermuda competes in the Caribbean Championship, a tournament which includes Antigua, Trinidad and Tobago, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, the Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, and Guyana.

They competed in the North group of the Round 1 of the Americas tournaments in qualifying for the 2003 Rugby World Cup in Australia. They were however knocked out by Trinidad and Tobago and did not advance to Round 2. They drew 10-all against Jamaica in the qualifying tournaments for the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France but did not advance.

They would win the North group in the qualifying tournaments for the 2015 Rugby World Cup and defeat Guyana but in the next round were eliminated in Asuncion by Paraguay.

Being There (novel)

video File:Placeholder
Being There is a satirical novel by the Polish-born writer Jerzy Kosinski, first published in 1970.[1] Set in America, the story concerns Chance, a simple gardener who unwittingly becomes a much sought-after political pundit and commentator on the vagaries of the modern world.

A film based on the book was made in 1979; Kosinski co-wrote the film's screenplay with Robert C. Jones.

## Background

When Jerzy Kosinski published Being There – wrote historian Monika Adamczyk-Garbowska – "most Polish critics immediately recognized [his book] as a version of Kariera Nikodema Dyzmy (Nikodem Dyzma's Career) by Tadeusz Dolega-Mostowicz, a very popular novel from the interwar period, and Kosinki was again accused of plagiarism."[2]

The authorship controversy was a repetition of an earlier case, concerning Kosinski's first novel, The Painted Bird published in 1965, which was plagiarized from a book published in the Second Polish Republic by the Polish ethnographer Henryk Biegeleisen.[2]

Bobby Pechman

<templatestyles src="Module:Infobox/styles.css"></templatestyles>

**Robert James "Bobby" Pechman** is the main protagonist of the American animated television series The World of Bobby. Bobby is a teenager who works as a fry cook at Krusty Burger, a fast food restaurant known for its french fries, burgers and chicken nuggets. He is characterized by his optimism and childlike attitude, and is influenced by other characters like Freddie Moreno and Scott Melrod. He is voiced by actor Mack Kenny.

## Role in The World of Bobby

Bobby is a good-natured, naive, and enthusiastic teenager. He resides in Los Angeles. He works as a fry cook at a local fast food restaurant, the Krusty Burger, to which he is obsessively attached, showing devotion to it above other restaurants. His boss is Jeffrey Kelly, a greedy man who who nonetheless treats Bobby like a son. Edward Tagliafico, a 22-year old man and Bobby's ill-tempered, snobbish neighbor, works as the restaurant's cashier. Bobby's hobbies include fishing for insects, practicing karate with his friend Sandra Campbell and blowing bubbles.

Bobby is often seen hanging around with his best friend, Paddy Sahashi, one of his neighbors. Bobby lives in a venice beach house with his dog, Toby. His unlimited optimistic cheer often leads him to perceive the outcome of numerous endeavors and the personalities of those around him as happier than they really are. He believes, for instance, that Edward Tagliafico enjoys his company even though he clearly harbors an intense dislike for him (though they have been shown to get along on rare occasions). Bobby's greatest goal in life is to obtain the trophy from Mrs. Parrish's Raceway Park.

## Character

### Creation and design

Hillenburg had made several "horrible impersonations" before he finally conceived of his character. He compared the concept to Freddie Prinze Jr. and Tobey Maguire.

### Voice

Bobby was voiced by a voice actor Mack Kenny.
Throughout the series, Bobby's voice evolved from "low-key" to high-pitched.

Template:Infobox Album

***Blue for You*** is the ninth studio album by English rock band Status Quo, released in March 1976 and is the last album until 1980's *Just Supposin'* that they produced themselves, which resulted in subsequent albums having a noticeably lighter, more pop oriented sound.

Parfitt's "Rain", the first single from the album, reached #7 in the UK charts after its release in February 1976. Its b-side was the non-album track "You Lost the Love", written by Rossi and Young.

The album was released the following month. It entered the British album chart at #1 and stayed there for three weeks, making it one of their most successful long players.

An edited version of Parfitt and Young's "Mystery Song" was the second single from the album and, released in July that year, peaked at #11 a few months later. Parfitt and Lancaster's "Drifting Away", from their 1974 album *Quo*, served as the single's b-side.

In December that year the band decided to release a cover of "Wild Side of Life", a song made famous by *Hank Thompson and His Brazos Valley Boys*, and written by Arlie Carter and William Warren. Its b-side was a new Rossi/Lancaster composition - "All Through the Night". The single reached #9.

Blue Jays (album)

video File:Placeholder
<templatestyles src="Module:Infobox/styles.css"></templatestyles>

***Blue Jays*** is a 1975 album by Justin Hayward and John Lodge. It was recorded and released during the Moody Blues' five-year hiatus.

During work on the Moody Blues album that was to follow *Seventh Sojourn*, bandmates Lodge, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge summoned Hayward and producer Tony Clarke out of a recording session to call off the project. The tension-fraught recording of *Seventh Sojourn* and subsequent world tour had left the band exhausted and relationships frayed. Pinder, who had emigrated to the United States, was not happy in England and was determined to return home to California. According to Hayward:

>
> I was under a lot of pressure from Decca to come up with something to release. So I actually went to America to do something with Mike [Pinder], between the two of us. Then Tony Clarke and John [Lodge] turned up at Mike's house as well. Mike took me in the other room and said, "I don't want to work with anybody else. I'm out of this project." So then it became me and John and Tony Clarke, and we made an album called *Blue Jays*.
>
>
>
>

The album was recorded in Threshold Westlake Audio Studios in West Hampstead, London.

On March 11, 1975 *Blue Jays* made its debut in the form of a staged playback of the album at Carnegie Hall. Hayward and Lodge wanted to pipe the music into the street, but New York police said they feared a traffic jam.

The track "Blue Guitar", originally released as a non-album single credited to Hayward and Lodge in September 1975 but performed by Hayward with the band 10cc, was added to the album upon its re-release on CD in 1987.

In 2004, the album was remastered and released on CD with the same bonus tracks.

Martin Irestedt and colleagues examined the black-eared, spotted- and green catbird species complex genetically and found there were seven distinct lineages: the green catbird (A. crassirostris) of eastern Australia and the spotted catbird (A. maculosus) of eastern Queensland being the earliest offshoots, followed by the Huon catbird (A. astigmaticus) and black-capped catbird (A. melanocephalus) of eastern New Guinea, the Arfak catbird (A. arfakianus) of the Bird's Head (Vogelkop) Peninsula, the northern catbird (A. jobiensis) of central-northern New Guinea, and black-eared catbird (A.melanotis) of southwestern New Guinea, Aru Islands and far North Queensland.[1]

## History

 File:Beko logo.svg
Beko Elektronik A.Ş. was founded by Vehbi Koç , the founder of Koç Holding (who also founded Arçelik A.Ş.,the parent company of Beko, in 1955),and Leon Bejerano in Istanbul, Turkey, 1967.

In 2004, Beko Elektronik purchased the German electronics company Grundig and by January 2005, Beko and its rival Turkish electronics and white goods brand Vestel accounted for more than half of all TV sets manufactured in Europe.

In April 2008, the electronics division of Beko renamed itself Grundig Elektronik A.Ş.

At the Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting of Arçelik A.Ş. on 29 June 2009, it was decided to merge Arçelik A.Ş. with the company's subsidiary, Grundig Elektronik A.Ş. (to be administered directly by Arçelik A.Ş. of Koç Holding) by taking over all of Grundig's assets and liabilities in whole.

Beko is a budget brand name and continues to be in use for a number of Arçelik A.Ş. products such as television sets, refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers, in several countries.

In the UK Beko products have had a number of reliability issues where the products have caught fire and caused house fires and many thousands of products have been recalled

Beko changed its old logo for a new one in June 2014.

 Producer(s) | * Morrissey
* Johnny Marr

"**Bigmouth Strikes Again**" is a song by The Smiths. It appears on their third album *The Queen Is Dead* and was the lead single from the album, reaching No. 26 in the UK Singles Chart in 1986. It was also the closing song on The Smiths' only live album, *Rank*.

Since the break-up of The Smiths, Morrissey performed the song live in 2004, and included it on his album *Live at Earls Court* (2005).[*citation needed*] Johnny Marr sang and played guitar in it on a *Later With Jools Holland* TV broadcast in June 2013.[*citation needed*]

## Music and lyrics

The lyrics describe the protagonist's frustration of being hounded by others for his comments, to which he replies "*I was only joking*".

During the song, the protagonist compares himself to Joan of Arc as *the flames rose to her Roman nose* and also says *now I know how Joan of Arc felt*. The line, "*and her Walkman started to melt'*", is often changed by Morrissey in live performances, to the more technologically current "*and her iPod started to melt*".

The high-pitched voice in the background is actually Morrissey's voice altered to a higher pitch. The backing vocal is credited to "Ann Coates", a reference to the Manchester district of Ancoats.

## Artwork

The single contained a photograph of James Dean by Nelva Jean Thomas. James Dean is an idol to Morrissey, who even wrote a book about him entitled *James Dean Is Not Dead*.

## Covers

Template:Refimprove section
The song is covered by Placebo as a B-side to "Nancy Boy", as well as on Disc 2 of the *Sleeping with Ghosts* special edition and on the various artists compilation *The Smiths Is Dead*. "Bigmouth Strikes Again" has also been covered by Treepeople, The Entertainment System, Balance and Composure, Slapshot, and The Ukrainians (under the title "Batyar"). In 2009, Among the Oak & Ash covered this song in their self-titled album, but retained the original lyrics. The British electronic musician LorD and Master recorded a cover of "Bigmouth Strikes Again" as part of his 2011 covers album, *Discover*.

Chumbawamba also recorded a song by this title, which is mistakenly described in The Great Rock Discography as being a Smiths cover.

Block Buster!

video File:Placeholder

<templatestyles src="Hlist/styles.css"></templatestyles><templatestyles src="Plainlist/styles.css"></templatestyles><templatestyles src="Module:Infobox/styles.css"></templatestyles>

"**Block Buster!**" (also sometimes listed as "Blockbuster!") is a 1973 single by Sweet. Written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, and produced by Phil Wainman, "Block Buster!" was the band's sole UK No. 1 hit. Released in January 1973, it spent five weeks at the top of the UK Singles Chart, and also made #1 in the Netherlands, Germany, New Zealand, Austria and Ireland, and #3 in Finland, Switzerland, Denmark and Norway. Outside Europe it fared less well as it peaked at #29 in Australia and at #73 on the American *Billboard* Hot 100.

## Music and lyrics

Its riff was considered markedly similar to fellow RCA act David Bowie's "The Jean Genie", released shortly before, but all parties maintain that this was pure coincidence.

## TV performances

Some controversy rose after the band's performance of the song on the British television program *Top of the Pops* at December 25, 1973. In this performance, Sweet's bassist Steve Priest wore a Swastika.

***Body and Soul*** is an album by Joe Jackson, released in March 1984. The album was Jackson's seventh studio album. In the UK it peaked at No. 14. The tracks are a mix of pop and jazz and salsa, showcasing the U.S. No. 15 hit single "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)". In a nod to its jazz standards influence, the cover art imitated that of the album *Sonny Rollins, Vol. 2*. At the end of the associated world tour in July 1984, Jackson took a lengthy break. The tour had been, he later wrote, "the hardest I ever did; it came too soon after the last one, and by the end of it I was so burned out I swore I'd never tour again".

Black Country Rock

video File:Placeholder
<templatestyles src="Hlist/styles.css"></templatestyles><templatestyles src="Plainlist/styles.css"></templatestyles><templatestyles src="Module:Infobox/styles.css"></templatestyles>

"**Black Country Rock**" is a song written by David Bowie in 1970 for the album *The Man Who Sold the World*, which was released in November 1970 in the U.S. and April 1971 in the UK. (It was also issued as the B-side to Bowie's January 1971 "Holy Holy" single.) An upbeat blues-rock number, "Black Country Rock" has been described as a "respite" from the musical and thematical heaviness of the remainder of the album. Its style has been compared to Marc Bolan's contemporary Tyrannosaurus Rex, down to Bowie's imitative vibrato in the final verse. According to producer Tony Visconti, Bowie had the music ready by the start of the sessions but the words were a last-minute addition in the studio, the singer doing his Bolan impression "spontaneously ... because he ran out of lyrics ... we all thought it was cool, so it stayed."

The song appeared in the soundtrack of the film *The Kids Are All Right*, released in 2010.
