  Biography of Bess Truman
Christened Elizabeth Virginia, she grew up as "Bess." Harry Truman, whose family moved to town in 1890, always kept his first impression of her -- "golden curls" and "the most beautiful blue eyes." A relative said, "there never was but one girl in the world" for him.
In recent years their daughter has written a vivid sketch of Bess as a girl: "a marvelous athlete--the best third baseman in Independence, a superb tennis player, a tireless ice skater--and she was pretty besides." She also had many "strong opinions....and no hesitation about stating them Missouri style--straight from the shoulder."
In the White House, its lack of privacy was distasteful to her.

  BESS BEETLE
Bess beetles are somewhat social insects, with colonies living together in decaying stumps and logs.
Bess beetles are very sensitive to air movement, almost more so than light, so every time the decaying hardwood is replenished, the beetles will be disturbed.
Bess beetles process wood in their digestive system, and then a fungus grows on the beetles' feces.

BESS also searches for antihelium in the cosmic radiation, the detection of which would have profound significance for both cosmology and particle physics.
Finally, BESS makes precise measurements of the light elements in the cosmic radiation, data that is important both for understanding the physics of cosmic ray transport and to contribute to atmospheric neutrino flux calculations.
Historically, the various versions of the BESS instrument have consisted of large solenoidal thin-wall superconducting magnet, a time-of-flight system of scintillation counter hodoscopes, inner drift chambers (IDC), a jet-type drift particle-tracking chamber and an aerogel Cherenkov counter (which replaced outer drift chambers used in the first flights).

The basic Brown Bess musket mounted a round, smoothbore,.75-caliber barrel on a walnut "heart wood" stock held by a vertical screw through the breech plug tang plus lateral cross-pins that pierced tenons brazed to its underside.
The Brown Bess patterns employed in the Revolutionary War are best considered in two categories that are most easily identified by their barrel lengths: the 46" "Long Land" and the 42" "Short Land" muskets.
Considered the first of the Brown Bess series, it included a 46" barrel (.75 cal.) with a baluster-shaped breech pinned to a walnut stock, a curved banana-shaped, rounded lock bearing a single (internal) bridle, heavy brass furniture, a wooded ramrod, plus raised stock carving around the lock and sideplate.

 BESS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BESS is a particle physics experiment carried by a balloon.
If this is so, then an amount of antimatter equal to the amount of currently visible matter must exist -- though it should be noted that there is an equal possibility the bulk of the antimatter may have been annihilated due to the mechanism of CP violation.
The aim of BESS therefore is to quantify the amount of antiparticles in the local cosmos and so help to decide between these alternatives.

 The Complicated Life of Porgy and Bess
While Porgy and Bess has become a cultural artifact, one of the controversies over the opera reflects the complex way the issue of race continues to be played out on the American scene.
In the case of Porgy and Bess, the third party was a triad of talents: composer George Gershwin, his lyricist brother Ira, and playwright DuBose Heyward.
Because Porgy and Bess deals with Negro Life in America it brings to the operatic form elements that have never before appeared in the opera and I have adapted my method to utilize the drama, the humor, the superstition, the religious fervor, the dancing and the irrepressible high spirits of the race.
