Adolfo Nicolás Pachón SJ (29 April 1936 – 20 May 2020) was a Spanish priest of the Roman Catholic Church. He was the thirtieth Superior General of the Society of Jesus from 2008 to 2016. Before being elected Superior General, he worked primarily in Japan; he taught at Sophia University in Tokyo for twenty years and then headed educational institutions in Manila from 1978 to 1984 and in Tokyo from 1991 to 1993. He led the Jesuits in Japan from 1993 to 1996 and, after four years of pastoral work in Tokyo, led the Jesuits in Asia from 2004 to 2008.

Though elected Superior General for life, Nicolás, like his predecessor Peter Hans Kolvenbach, resigned, as the Jesuit constitutions permit.

Nasa astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken have completed their dress rehearsal for Wednesday's flight to the International Space Station.

The mission, the first crewed outing from American soil in nine years, will see the pair ride to orbit in a SpaceX Falcon rocket and Crew Dragon capsule.

It's a demonstration of the new "taxi" service the US space agency will be buying from the Californian firm.

Lift-off on Wednesday is timed for 16:33 EDT (20:33 GMT / 21:33 BST).

The weather around the Kennedy Space Center in Florida may have other ideas, however.

A forecast released on Saturday by the US Air Force 45th Weather Squadron predicted just a 40% chance of favourable conditions come launch time.

There is a strong possibility the Kennedy complex could see thick cloud, rain and even thunder.

If controllers are forced to scrub, everyone will come back on Saturday for a second try.

A WW2 veteran, whose parachute jump to mark the 75th anniversary of a major wartime operation went viral last year, has died at the age of 97.

Sandy Cortmann, from Aberdeen, made an emotional return to the Netherlands to commemorate the anniversary of Operation Market Garden last September.

He was just 22 when he parachuted near Arnhem in 1944, before being taken prisoner by the Germans.

The events in 1944 were immortalised in the 1977 epic A Bridge Too Far.

Mr Cortmann's family said he had passed away at his care home in Aberdeen on Saturday.

Mr Cortmann described the jump last year as "thoroughly terrifying but wonderful".

Footage of the jump went viral on social media, and not long after returning to Scotland from his adventure he received hundreds of fan letters from people in the Netherlands.

Dutch people were so moved his his story, a campaign was launched to send well wishes and thank you messages to the Aberdonian.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has confirmed coach Damien Duff is set to leave the club to concentrate on his duties with the Republic of Ireland.

Former Blackburn and Chelsea winger Duff was appointed as assistant to new Republic boss Stephen Kenny in April.

Duff, 41, will leave the Scottish champions when his contract expires at the end of June.

"I spoke to Damien on Monday and he was in good spirits, but he'll join the FAI," said Lennon.

"It's a blow because he contributed immensely and personally I got on great with him.

"He's in his formative years as a coach but he made a huge contribution and there was a good chemistry there. So he'll be difficult to replace, that's for sure.

"We were waiting on everything getting called first then we'll look to replace him but it's not at the forefront of our minds."

Duff, who won 100 caps for the Republic, is part of Kenny's backroom team which also includes former internationals Keith Andrews and Alan Kelly.

The Dubliner has been a first-team coach under Lennon at Celtic since February 2019.

Saturn (1936 – 22 May 2020) was an American alligator residing in the Moscow Zoo. He was the subject of an urban myth that he was previously Adolf Hitler's "pet alligator".

Born in Mississippi, Saturn was soon brought to Germany, residing at the Berlin Zoological Garden. It was here that his association with Adolf Hitler originated, as Hitler reportedly enjoyed visiting the zoo and especially liked the alligator. However, while Hitler may have viewed Saturn at the zoo, he was never Hitler's personal pet. During World War II, the Berlin Zoo was destroyed, but Saturn was discovered by British soldiers, who then gave the alligator to the Soviets in 1946. He lived at the Moscow Zoo until 22 May 2020, when he died of old age.

The Estadio Nacional Doroteo Guamuch Flores is a multi-use national stadium in Guatemala City, the largest in Guatemala. It was built in 1948, to host the Central American and Caribbean Games in 1950, and was renamed after long-distance runner Doroteo Guamuch Flores, winner of the 1952 Boston Marathon. It has a capacity of 26,000 seats.

Used mostly for football (soccer) matches, the stadium has hosted the majority of the home matches of the Guatemala national football team throughout its history, and is the home of local football club Comunicaciones F.C. The venue is operated by the Confederación Deportiva Autónoma de Guatemala (CDAG).

One of the worst disasters ever to occur in a sports venue took place at the stadium in 1996, when 83 people were killed because of a human avalanche on the stands.

Maurice Ernest Gibb CBE (22 December 1949 – 12 January 2003) was a British musician, singer, songwriter and record producer, who achieved fame as a member of the Bee Gees, where he focused on melody and arrangements, providing backing vocal harmony and playing the bass, guitar or keyboards. Although his elder brothers Barry and Robin Gibb were the group's main lead singers, most of their albums included at least one or two songs featuring Maurice's lead vocals, including "Lay It on Me", "Country Woman" and "On Time". The Bee Gees were one of the most successful rock-pop groups of all time.

Born on the Isle of Man, Gibb started his music career in 1955 in Manchester, England, joining the skiffle-rock and roll group the Rattlesnakes, which later evolved into the Bee Gees in 1958 when they moved to Australia. They returned to England, where they achieved worldwide fame. In 2002, the Bee Gees were appointed as CBEs for their "contribution to music". Following Gibb's death in 2003, his son collected his award at Buckingham Palace in 2004.

Gibb's earliest musical influences included the Everly Brothers, Cliff Richard, and Paul Anka; the Mills Brothers and the Beatles were significant later influences. When Bee Gees was temporarily broken up in 1969, Maurice released his first solo single, "Railroad", but his first solo album, The Loner, has never been released.
