Françoise De Bette
Françoise Bette (1593–1666) was, from 1637 to 1666, the 26th abbess of Forest Abbey. She was born in Lede, in the county of Flanders, the daughter of Adrian Bette, knight, and Agnes de Merode de Rummen. Her cousin, Guillaume de Bette, 1st Marquess of Lede, was a knight of the Order of Santiago with links to the Habsburg court. As abbess she faced financial strains, which she attempted to meet by selling off part of the abbey's land. She also attempted to reform the monastery, which had acquired a reputation for loose discipline. She was not notably successful in either effort. In 1644 she commissioned a precious reliquary in Baroque style to house the relics of Saint Alena. This was probably paid for by her family. It is now in the parish church of Forest, Belgium.Bart Fransen, "Recherches historiques / Historisch onderzoek", ''Bulletin'' of the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage The Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA, for ''Koninklijk Instituut voor het Kuns ...

Bette People
The Bette are a Bantu people inhabiting the Obudu area of Cross River State, Nigeria. The Bette people are one of five tribes inhabiting Obudu area of Cross River State, along with the Utugwang, Alege, Ukpe and Ubang. The name "Bette" refers to both the language and the people who constitute a dominant ethnic group in Obudu Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria. Bette migrated from the Bantu in south Central Africa and settled at the foot of the Cameroun Mountain, a part of which now constitutes the famous Obudu Cattle Ranch. Bette is a folk language that is still grossly unwritten because of the dearth of a standard orthography. Most scholars of Linguistics who have researched on some Nigerian folk languages have held ignominious opinion that folk languages reveal a low, primitive level of dynamic and imaginative thinking of the people. Because of the gross dearth of a standard orthography the folks coined their proverbs around the things within their environment whi ...

Bette (album)
''Bette'' is a self-titled studio album by American singer Bette Midler. It was released by Warner Bros. Records on October 10, 2000 in the United States to coincide with the premiere of her her self-titled CBS sitcom. Midler covered songs on this album written by artists like Elvis Costello and Kirsty MacColl, mixed with cover versions of classic soul and R&B songs from the 1970s, including " Shining Star", " Love T.K.O." and "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)". Upon release, the album only reached number 69 on US ''Billboard'' 200, and Warner Bros. subsequently dropped Midler from its roster in 2001 because of declining record sales.

Bette (TV Series)
''Bette'' is an American sitcom television series which premiered on October 11, 2000, on the CBS network. The show was the debut of Bette Midler in a lead TV series role. Sixteen episodes were aired on CBS, with its final telecast on March 7, 2001. Eighteen episodes in total were produced, with the final two only broadcast on HDTV simulcasting and in foreign markets. ''Bette'' was created by Jeffrey Lane, with Midler serving as one of the executive producers. Synopsis The sitcom had Midler playing herself – a "divine celebrity" who is adored by her fans. To apply some ambiguity, neither Bette's last name nor that of her on-screen family's was used, to create the offset that there was some difference between the star's real-life and TV persona. There were several similarities to Midler's actual career through the show's run, as the character of Bette had – and directly performed – many of the real-life Midler's past hit songs and achievements.
