Q: pandas string selection to include and exclude I trying to include the text contains words like "AV" but to exclude any word that contains like "AV-DEFAULT"
Below code, is not getting what i want. It turn out the data with "AV-DEFAULT" are selected.
df = df[df.STRUCTURALSTATUS.str.contains('AV', regex=False, case=False, na=False) & ~
(df['STRUCTURALSTATUS'] != 'AV-DEFAULT')]

A: A common pattern visible in the selected string is they always start or ends with AV.
You can use .startswith / .endswith string function to check the existence of a word.
# sample data frame
df = pd.DataFrame({'names': ['AV', 'AV IE', 'AV (11)', 'AV-EE', 'AG AV','O - AV-DEFAULT']})

# create a new column
df['new_name'] = df['names'].loc[(df.names.str.startswith('AV') | df.names.str.endswith('AV'))]

# output
    names           new_name
0   AV                 AV
1   AV IE              AV IE
2   AV (11)                AV (11)
3   AV-EE              AV-EE
4   AG AV              AG AV
5   O - AV-DEFAULT     NaN
6   HEAVY DAMAGE       NaN

Update 1:
df['new_name'] = df.names[df.names.str.contains(r'(?!AV-DEFAULT)AV(?!\w)')]

Regex Explanation:
1. (?!..) This says don't match the string which AV-DEFAULT
2. AV Here we match strings which has AV
3. (?!\w) Don't match AV is it is followed by any letter, like in (HEAVY DAMAGE)
Update 2: This take remove strings which starts with AV such as AVAILABLE.
df.names[df.names.str.contains(r'((?!AV-DEFAULT)AV(?!\w))|^AV')]

Update 3: How to run the code.
# sample df
df = pd.DataFrame({'names': ['AV', 'AV IE', 'AV (11)', 'AV-EE', 'AG AV','O - AV-DEFAULT','HEAVY DAMAGE','AVAILABLE(AFP)','AV-DEFAULT']})

# get new column
df['new_name'] = df.names[df.names.str.contains(r'((?!AV-DEFAULT)AV(?!\w))|^AVA')]

print(df)

    names           new_name
0   AV              AV
1   AV IE           AV IE
2   AV (11)         AV (11)
3   AV-EE           AV-EE
4   AG AV           AG AV
5   O - AV-DEFAULT  NaN
6   HEAVY DAMAGE    NaN
7   AVAILABLE(AFP)  AVAILABLE(AFP)
8   AV-DEFAULT      NaN

Un Dîner Tourangeau aka A Loire Wine Dinner
Date: Thursday 7th April 2005
Venue: Forest Hall, Meriden
Sponsors: Geoffrey & Joy Luff with Roger Hale
Minutes of the Dinner
In the past The Buckland Club has travelled to the Loire and enjoyed a huge and extraordinary lunch, but on the 7th April 2005 we arranged for the Loire to come to us.The Loire flowed through the verdant fields of Warwickshire to the Archery Club at Meriden. Geoffrey Luff and his wife Joy were our chefs, assisted by skilled members of the Club Committee.
Geoffrey & Joy with committee members Andrew Morris & Hazel Riggall
Many members came to Meriden by coach. These included David Hardy who was observed to be in studious mode, obviously preparing for an extra lesson at Radley. On arrival, the proceedings began with a sparkling wine of exceptional quality. This was Vouvray made by the champagne method, of 1997 vintage and rich in honey flavour. We now realized that David Hardy had been persuaded to introduce these Loire wines for us. The urgent prep which he had been doing on the coach came to life and he inspired us with his enthusiasm and knowledge of every hillside and grape variety.
While we studied the Vouvray, we were encouraged to make a start on canape's. It was as well for the squeamish member to enjoy a glass or two before he did so. The following maxim should apply to Le Diner Tourrainois: "comprehensive knowledge about the wine is always beneficial. Of the food, maintain blissful ignorance." Our canapés included pork cooked in its own fat, pigs spleen and finally an item which your Minutes Secretary has been unable precisely to trace. Despite cross-examination of the Chairman the specimen can only be described as " gland or organ within the porcine body of uncertain purpose or location".
We moved to the tables where the first course was Foire Gras, ducks liver poached in some sort of nappy and served with a confit of onions and grenadine made by Joy Luff. This foie gras was quite superb and deserved the applause it received.
The flavours were complemented by a sweet, still Vouvray "moelleux". Moelleux refers to the flavours of melons. The wine was made by Gaston Huet who was the local mayor at the time when the SNCF proposed a cutting through the vineyards to take the TGV from Paris to Tours. The mayor invoked an ancient criminal offence : disturbing the roots of old vines. Instead of the cutting a tunnel was constructed at huge expense. The SNCF were then required tolay the lines on rubber sleepers to preserve these invaluable roots. The risk of premature fermentation was said to be another possible result of fast trains running close to old cellars. But the most expensive few miles of track ever laid have allowed Huet to maintain a standard of wine-making which the Buckland fully appreciated.
The next course was monkfish: a plan to eat Loire eels which have the lovely name Matelotes d'Anguille proved impossible since the eels were out of season. We drank a red wine with this fish course, indeed the same Borgeuil as that in which it had been poached. The wine was young and served cool. The Chairman explained that in the opinion of our chef, Geoffrey Luff this was a very simple dish, the fish being first deboned, then slowly poached, after that it was strained, then it was reduced, the seasoning adjusted and then gentle cooking continued with the caramalised onions. The process had commenced at 9.30 in the morning so that the chefs had plenty of time to work on and to perfect this "very simple" dish.
Geoffrey & Joy Luff
Our main course was a speciality from the Touraine. The main ingredients were sweetbreads: in truth these were the thymus gland of the adolescent calf. A biological note, of interest to Frank Buckland if no one else, is that this gland disappears as the calf grows up. Members need to know these things. This Beuchelle Tourangelle has become a classic of the Touraine since the recipe was first recorded as cooked by Eduard Nignon for the table of the Austrian Emperor Franz Josef around 1800. It can be made with coxcombs which might have been difficult to obtain, but we were well contented with the cognac morelle mushrooms and cream sauce. We were reminded that Rabelais himself came from Touraine, he regarded the area as his nursemaid and he would have been proud of Monsieur Luff this night. We enjoyed Chateau de Villeneuve 2003 a Chenin blanc from the chalk cliffs above the South bank of the Loire to the East of Saumur.
The cheese course was a study in goats' cheeses offered at different stages of ageing. There was a Puligny St Pierre, in the form of a pyramid, a St Maure which was the oldest in the form of a log while the youngest was Selles sur Cher. This last was rolled in wood ash for additional flavour. The Saracen invaders who traveled with their flocks of sheep brought the art of making these cheeses to the Touraine. The goats and the cheese-making have lasted longer than the Saracens. With the cheese we drank a 1989 vintage wine from thefinest red wine producer in the Loire, Pierre-Jacques Druet, a Grand Mont, the grapes from the Southerly aspect of the hill behind Bourgeuil.
The final phase of this excellent dinner comprised La poire tapee au feu de bois. Pearsdried over a wood oven, an ancient method of conserving the fruit. They are still authentically produced at Quincay between the chateaux of Usse and Azay le Rideau. They were rendered all the better for the remarkable eau de vie de poires which accompanied them. This powerful spirit is not available to the public, and the cognoscentiacquire it at great expense "au derriere de camion", which may be translated as "off the back of a lorry."
The evening was a triumph for Touraine, and enjoyed by members and guests.

LXXVII. We may observe, that, when an animal is about to be slaughtered, its drivers will sometimes lay aside all shew of compassion towards it, urge it roughly forward, strike it with sticks, and beat it about the head, with shouts and aggravated violence: as if their thought was,
" What matter? It will soon be killed."—This may help to explain the nature of our Lord's last sufferings. Surrounded by fierce looks and ferocious cries, deserted, bound, dragged a prisoner, rejected, mocked, smitten, scourged, crowned with thorns, bleeding, spitten upon, exhausted, silent, blindfolded, and buffeted, truly he is led—"as a lamb to the slaughter !"
In these last sufferings of Christ, previous to his crucifixion, let the Christian find a defence against the last assaults of terror, pain, distress, and anguish, previous to his decease.
LXXVIII. "And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison ; but Rebekah loved Jacob" (Gen. xxv. 28).
Isaac's reason for loving Esau is here expressly stated; " because he did eat of his venison." Rebekah's reason for loving Jacob will be found in the first clause of the verse.
So, again, " Isaac spake to Esau his son ;" and "Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son " (xxvii. 5, 6).
LXXIX. " He knew that for envy they had delivered him." If we act from spiritual and religious motives, we must not expect to have them acknowledged or appreciated by the world. " He that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." " But if, on the contrary, we act from worldly motives, use what disguise we will, the world sees through it with ease. Thus the enemies of Christ alleged plausible reasons for wishing Pilate to crucify him; but Pilate saw through them all, "He knew that for envy they had delivered him."-Too often an envious, a selfish, a covetous, a sordid, a treacherous, a vindictive motive, for dealing harshly with a brother, when duty is the plea. And when so, the world is sure to find it out. "He knew that for envy they had delivered him."
LXXX. We may consider the subject of repentance under twenty-seven heads, each head containing three particulars : and if a man fail in any one of the three, under any one of the twenty-seven, he is lost. Ah, my dear brethren, this, after all, is not preaching the Gospel.
LXXXI. It is of faith, that it might be by grace.
LXXXII. The true secret of evangelical religion is, to see the Son, as he is seen by the Father. In other words; there is in Christ all excellency, beauty, loveliness, and perfection : He is the brightness of God's glory, and the express image of his
person; the expression, transcript, manifestation, counterpart, fellow, and equivalent, of all that constitutes the Divinity of the unseen Father. Christ therefore is the object on which the Father has looked and will look, from eternity to eternity, with infinite satisfaction, as the image of his own perfections. Such is Christ in all his characters : in his Godhead, in his incarnation, in his eternity, in his life on earth, in his performances, in his sufferings. As to all these, he is excellent, perfect, and entirely satisfactory and well-pleasing, in the Father's sight. The invisible Godhead, which is the Father, sees in the manifested Godhead, which is the Son, where alone he can see it, what is perfectly satisfactory to himself. The Father, then, tells us this. He
says,
" This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
It is for us, then, to believe what the Father says, and to take the same view which he takes : in other words, to see the Son as he is seen of the Father. This is the Holy Spirit's work. It can only be effected by a perfect change of heart in
For naturally we discern no beauty, no excellence, in Christ : naturally we are not disposed to discern any: naturally we have not that in us, which can discern any. But when the Holy Ghost takes of the things of Christ and shews them to us, by the twofold work of presenting the view, and disposing our hearts to receive it in joy and faith and love, then is it that our minds are brought, as to this matter, into conformity to the mind of God : we take the same view of this only good and glorious Object which he takes : we feel, in our measure, that which with infinite complacency He feels; namely, that in the Eternal Son is all beauty, loveliness, and perfection : and, beholding, we are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. This is salvation.
LXXXIII. There are many troubles in life that we must pass through : there are many others, that we might pass over, To be able to do this, however, and to know when, is a fruit of Divine grace and wisdom which is not always attained to. Certain it is, that our great deliverance from trouble lies in the trouble which the Lord Jesus Christ endured for our sakes. And great occasion have we to believe, that his care carries us clear of many ills and sorrows, without our being conscious of it at the time. He leads us, as it were, at times, by a highway, a raised path, which carries us over the troubles which otherwise we should have to pass through. He appoints our course through a higher element, which trouble cannot reach.
LXXXIV, St. Mark seems to intimate to us a reason for
an ordained ministry; or for the appointment of certain persons, selected, commissioned, and set apart, to preach the Gospel. Many are forbidden by our Lord to declare his name, and then he appoints a certain number for this express purpose. Thus, when the man was cured of the leprosy, our Lord saith to him, " See thou say nothing to any man:" when unclean spirits fell down before him, and cried, saying, "Thou art the Son of God," he straitly charged them that they should not make him known. Then it is added, in the next verse but one,
And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach." (Mark iii. 14.)
LXXXV. The holiness of our Lord's sacred person communicated a purifying influence to others, and prevented his contracting defilement from them. In general, if a Jew touched any unclean thing, he himself became unclean. But the leper, whom our Lord touched, was cleansed. The general principle, under the Law, is laid down in the second chapter of the Prophet Haggai. If the skirt of a garment containing holy flesh touched any common object, no holiness was imparted. But if, on the contrary, the same object were touched by an unclean person, a communication of uncleanness took place. That is, uncleanness was imparted from the unclean, but not holiness from the holy. But with the holy garments of our great High Priest, the case was different. The afflicted sufferer said, may but touch his clothes, I shall be whole." And so it proved. Virtue passed from the Lord to her: no defilement passed from her to him.
LXXXVI. Have you courage to proclaim a truth from the pulpit, that would make half your congregation leave you ?
LXXXVII. Answer to the above question.-" I should feel it my duty to them, to think twice before I did it. Nevertheless
LXXXVIII. The absurdity of some attempts to explain away passages of Scripture, will appear at once by extending the false principle of explanation to the context: for example, in the passage, " The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests ; but the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head." This, say some persons, merely means that the Son of Man had no fixed abode, but went about from place to place. But let us explain the whole sentence on the same principle. It will then stand thus : " The fox is a stationary animal, and the birds never stir from home; but," &c.
LXXXIX. As to our miseries, we wish to be delivered ; but as to our sins, we are too willing to keep them. It is observable, that persons afflicted with bodily maladies, such as leprosy
and blindness, cried to the Lord, besought him, earnestly desired to be healed : but persons possessed of devils never did so. They were applied for on behalf of their friends, or they even, in horror and agony, fell prostrate : but I know of no instance of their desiring for themselves to have the evil spirit cast out. Here lies a great part of the mischief. Men too often side with Satan, or at least are not honestly opposed to him, in his
power over their own hearts. XC. The wicked, unbelieving, and impenitent, are under a dispensation of temporal mercies, and eternal judgment. The mercy, patience, and long-suffering, come first, are abused and despised ; and then the judgment follows. Believers, on the contrary, are under a dispensation of temporal judgments, and eternal mercies.
XCI. " The greatest number of our elegant writers appear to be in league with some evil spirits, to counteract the tendency of evangelical truth; to overthrow religion under pretence of raising the fabric of human happiness on its ruins; to destroy an operative belief of a future state of existence. This design they pursue with daring effrontery or subtle craft, varying their modes of procedure according to the age and the character of their unhappy victims. To remain a silent and indifferent spectator of their triumphs would be criminal." (East.)
XCII. Though our works are a test of our_faith, we must take heed that we do not abuse this doctrine. For example : a person reason's thus.
'I am to be justified by faith; but my works are to be an evidence of this justifying faith. Well, let me begin then, and do the works : then I must have the justifying faith. But is this certain? May you not be putting on the works, assuming and creating to yourself the outward sign, to satisfy yourself of that inward faith, which produces good works ? What is this, but being justified by works ? What is it but justifying yourself? And what wonder if the Lord, in mercy, confound your works to stop the delusion? " Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved : and, to shew the world, to shew men and angels, to shew Satan, that thou art saved, the Lord has works in store for thee, which thou shalt do; but which-mark well—are, after all, not thy good works merely, but his.
New Edition of the Dutch Bible. By Professor VAN DER
PALM.
(Concluded from page 365.) AFTER such an account of the old or authorized version, commonly called " de Staten Overzetting," or "the States Translation, as we have been enabled to give in our preceding Number, the question will naturally arise, Whence then the necessity of a new one? How comes it to pass that there has been even such a probable appearance of the want of another version, that the proposal could meet with any thing like general encouragement or approbation ? We must suppose that some plausible ground existed, as a pretext for setting aside a work which so many circumstances combined to make venerable.'
This plausible ground was furnished by the alterations which the Dutch language, in the course of two centuries, has undergone. But for this circumstance, we do not believe that the idea of a new version, that should in any measure supersede the old, would have been entertained in the Dutch churches : nor would the opportunity have been thus given, of sending forth into the world a work conducted in such a totally different spirit from the former; so calculated to mislead, and so full of the false illumination and neology of the age.
Here, then, observe the craft of Satan, in matters wherein we are not aware that it has ever been duly observed or pointed out, at least in print. But we are persuaded that in the changes which have taken place in various languages he has been very busy-as no doubt he is with every thing wherein the interests of truth and righteousness are concerned : and it might be well to observe the working of the great enemy, in many matters connected with the order and well-being of society, the honour of God, and the progress or decline of real godliness. At present we shall confine our remarks to language. This we believe to be of Divine original, the gift of God to man; and not the invention of the creature. This is evident from the careful consideration of what is related in God's word, concerning the creation and original condition of man. And the first introduction of a variety of languages is plainly ascribed to Divine and miraculous agency. Neither can we suppose that, God having, by an act of omnipotence, introduced a multitude of languages into the world, the further progress of those languages was left entirely to blind chance, or to the will and fancy of the creature; any more than the frame of society, the revolutions of states and empires, the succession of the seasons, and


Faulty cellular reprogramming and the corresponding unleashing of rogue DNA elements has been found to be at the heart of male sterility in mice. The research, published today in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, involved the Institute's epigenetics experts working with colleagues at the MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine and the European Bioinformatics Institute.
The genetic information of a species is usually held under lockdown, preventing undesirable typos in the genetic code of our genes. However, during some situations this repression must be released, for example in the creation of sperm and egg cells in the developing embryo. The research identified that in mice lacking two key proteins required to reinstate gene lockdown, jumping sections of DNA, called transposons, take advantage of this freedom to activate the expression of genes in their vicinity. In the study, the undesirable gene expression initiated by the transposons caused precursor sperm cells to fail to develop properly in mice, causing sterility.
Just like books in a library, most of our genes are maintained in a closed state unless they are being read and copied. One way in which our genes are silenced is by the addition of chemical tags, a reversible silencing process called methylation. By laying down patterns of gene silencing, the genome ensures appropriate gene expression for different cell types. To extend the library analogy, this is similar to restricting a library user to a particular subset of books rather than the full range. The methylation process is also effective at silencing and preventing the disruptive activity of transposons in the genome. Surprisingly, approximately 70% of the mouse genome is made up of these mobile DNA pieces but only 2% of the transposons in the genome are potentially active.
The generation of sperm and egg precursors from the cells making up the early embryo requires the resetting of information annotated on the genome through DNA methylation, a process called genome reprogramming. Methylation information is deleted and then reinstated to establish the correct gene 'reading list' for precursor cells to become a developed sperm or egg. Male mice lacking either of two proteins central to re-establishing genome methylation are sterile. After confirming that neither protein had a key role in precursor sperm cells directly, the researchers found that sperm development failed in these mice because of defective genome reprogramming as the precursor sperm cells developed in the mouse embryo. Profiling where methylation was laid down throughout the genome, especially at transposon-containing locations, identified that loss of correct genome methylation allowed a family of transposons to be activated. These transposons drove expression of neighbouring genes, genes which wouldn't usually be expressed during normal sperm development, and cells therefore fail to develop properly.
This work received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme. The Babraham Institute receives strategic funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
All mice used in this study were male; and bred and maintained in EMBL Mouse Biology Unit, Monterotondo, and subsequently in the Centre for Regenerative Medicine, Edinburgh. All procedures were done in accordance to the current Italian legislation (Art. 9, 27. Jan 1992, nu116) under license from the Italian health ministry or the UK Home Office regulations, respectively.

Q: How to get list of all types of associated tables in polymorphic associations? Suppose, we have table Commentable, which has commentable_id and commentable_type which is polymorphic in nature. Based on this, how can we get all the list of associated tables / all possible commentable_type as per associations?

A: Check your models for the comments relation. I assume that each commendable model has many comments.
ApplicationRecord.descendants.select { |klass| klass.reflections['comments'] }

Or you can select a distinct field Commentable.distinct(:commentable_type).pluck(:commentable_type) this query returns an array of types (as strings). Each type is a model name knowing them you can infer table names.

El terrorismo en Níger se concentra principalmente en las zonas fronterizas de Níger con Mali y Burkina Faso (oeste), Libia (norte) y Nigeria en el sur, especialmente con las incursiones del grupo terrorista Boko Haram en el Lago Chad y Al Qaeda en el Magreb Islámico y Walid Abou Sahraui que opera en la región sureña de Tillabéry. En 2010 empezaron los secuestros de extranjeros y en mayo de 2013 se produjo el primer atentado de corte yihadista terrorista. Níger pertenece al G5 del Sahel, grupo que coordina políticas de desarrollo y seguridad.

Contexto
Níger está situado en un lugar estratégico del Sahel donde en los últimos años se ha incrementado la acción de grupos terroristas. Los terroristas yihadistas, según expertos como el sociólogo e investigador nigerino Souley Adji, llevan a cabo una estrategia de guerrilla tanto en el Sahel como en Níger que dificulta la acción de los militares nigerinos que no tienen formación en tácticas de intervención. También complica la situación las fronteras porosas y el hecho de que tres cuartas partes de los 1.276.000 kilómetros cuadrados que tiene el país son desérticos y el hecho de que los jóvenes que los grupos terroristas reclutan son jóvenes de la propia población, según el experto en gobernanza en África Arji Saidou. Por otro lado Mali es un país de paso para la inmigración clandestina hacia Europa

Entre los grupos yihadistas que operan en la zona se encuentran Al Qaeda del Magreb Islámico creado en 2007, Movimiento para la Unicidad y la Yihad en África Occidental (MUJAO) desde 2013, Boko Haram con dos facciones desde 2016: Jamā'at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-Da'wah wa'l-Jihād y Estado Islámico en África Occidental conectado con el Estado Islámico.

En abril de 2010 Malí, Mauritania, Níger y Argelia crearon el Cémoc (Comité de Estado Mayor Operacional Conjunto) basado en Tamanrasset (sur de Argelia) que dispone de un centro de información de seguridad en Argel y se reúne cada seis meses. Hasta 2014 esta organización nunca ha desarrollado operaciones conjuntas transfronterizas.

En mayo de 2013 se produjo el primer atentado del yihadismo terrorista en Níger. Hasta el momento se habían producido secuestros de extranjeros.

En febrero de 2014 se creó el G5 del Sahel para coordinar políticas de desarrollo y seguridad. Forman parte del grupo: Burkina Faso, Chad, Malí, Mauritania y Níger.

Entre febrero de 2015 hasta marzo de 2017 según los datos de la Oficina de Naciones Unidas para la Coordinación de Asuntos Humanitarios al menos fueron asesinados, secuestrados o resultaron heridos 455 civiles por los ataques de Boko Haram en la región de Diffa, al extremo sureste. En cuanto a pérdidas militares se cifran en 250 en todo el territorio junto a decenas de secuestros de militares.

Hasta octubre de 2017 Estados Unidos realizaba labores de inteligencia militar en Níger con drones y formaba a tropas nigerinas. A partir de las emboscada en Tonga-Tonga en la frontera con Mali en el que murieron 4 soldados estadounidenses y 5 nigerinos el gobierno de Níger autorizó a EE. UU. los bombardeos aéreos contra terroristas en territorio nigerino produciéndose un salto importante en la lucha contra el terrorismo en el país.

Cronología
Algunas de las fechas de ataques, secuestros y atentados más relevantes son:

2011
 Enero de 2011. Niamey. Dos jóvenes franceses son secuestrados en un restaurante y posteriormente ejecutados durante la intervención del ejército francés que intentaba bloquear la escapada de los secuestradores..

Clearly, this isn't Jay Z's best week ever. A day after reports surfaced that the rap mogul is being investigated by the baseball union for giving Yankees player Robinson Cano a pricey gift, he's now being sued for allegedly sampling an old funk song without permission. When it rains, it pours.
According to the New York Daily News, Hov was hit with the copyright-infringement lawsuit Wednesday (Nov. 6) by TufAmerican Inc., a re-issue label that owns catalogs of rap, soul, funk and jazz recordings.
The label claims in their suit that Jay Z illegally sampled a 1969 funk song 'Hook & Sling' by Eddie Bo for his 2009 hit single, 'Run This Town,' which also features Rihanna and Kanye West. Hov's label, Roc-A-Fella Records, as well as Atlantic Records, are among the companies named in the suit.
Tuf America is demanding royalties from 'Run This Town' and other damages to be determined at trial. In addition, they want the court to block future distribution and sales of the song.
This is the third time Tuf America has filed a lawsuit against Jay Z and Roc-A-Fella Records over sampling issues. Fortunately, the legal cases prior to this were settled out of court.
Attorneys for Jay Z and the parties involved had no comment on the matter.

By Matt Webb Mitovich / September 17 2019, 7:50 AM PDT
Courtesy of ABC
ABC News journalist and political commentator Cokie Roberts died on Tuesday due to complications from breast cancer, She was 75.
Roberts recently alluded to her health with a statement following an August appearance on This Week, saying, "Over the summer, I have had some health issues which required treatment that caused weight loss. I am doing fine. I very much appreciate the kind comments I have received and expect to be, as I have been, working away in the days and months to come, covering what promises to be a fascinating election. I am grateful to everyone who has been in touch and sent their well wishes. Thanks for caring."
Hailing his colleague as "a true pioneer for women in journalism," ABC News president James Goldston said in a statement, "Cokie Roberts will be dearly missed. Cokie's kindness, generosity, sharp intellect and thoughtful take on the big issues of the day made ABC a better place and all of us better journalists."
Born Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs and dubbed "Cokie" by her brother Thomas during childhood, Roberts started her career at the Washington, D.C. TV station WRC-TV, where she hosted a public affairs program. In 1978 she joined NPR, and then moved to ABC News 10 years later.
Roberts is survived by her husband of 53 years/fellow journalist Steven Roberts, children Lee and Rebecca, and six grandchildren.

Miroslav Pantić (Svilajnac, 9. srpnja 1926. – Beograd, 16. rujna 2011.) je bio srpski povjesničar književnosti, profesor Sveučilišta u Beogradu i akademik SANU.

Životopis
Rođen je u Svilajncu 9. srpnja 1926. godine gdje je završio osnovnu školu i gimnaziju. U razdoblju od 1945. do 1949. studirao je srpski jezik na Filozofskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Beogradu. Na istom fakultetu je doktorirao 1956. godine tezom "Sebastijan Slade-Dolči, dubrovački biograf XVIII veka". Postao je docent 1957. godine na Filozofskom fakultetu, izvanredni profesor 1962. godine i redovni 1970. na Filološkom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Beogradu koji je u međuvremenu nastao izdvajanjem iz Filozofskog 1960. godine. U razdoblju od 1972. do 1973. bio je upravnik Sveučilišne biblioteke "Svetozar Marković" u Beogradu.

Za dopisnog člana SANU izabran je 1974., a za redovnog 1981. godine. Sekretar odeljenja jezika i književnosti SANU bio je od 1982. do 1994. godine. Generalni sekreta SANU bio je u razdoblju od 1994. do 1998., a potpredsjednik SANU za društvene znanosti u razdoblju od 1998. do 2003.

Jedan od najplodnijih proučavatelja starije hrvatske, osobito dubrovačke i bokokotorske književnosti (Marin Držić, 1964.; Humanizam i renesansa, 1967.; Iz književne prošlosti, 1978.; Susreti s prošlošću, 1984.; Književnost na tlu Crne Gore i Boke kotorske od XVI do XVIII veka, 1990.) te narodne književnosti (Narodne pesme u zapisima XV–XVIII veka, 1964.). Premda u svojim arhivskim istraživanjima slijedi praksu srpske historiografije u svojatanju hrvatske baštine, napisao je vrijedne priloge o starijim hrvatskim piscima.

Dobitnik je više nagrada među kojima su: Sedmojulska nagrada (1988.), Vukova nagrada (1991.), Zlatni beočug (1999.), Orden rada sa zlatnim vijencem. Bio je počasni građanin Svilajnca i Despotovca. U njegovu čast održan je znanstveni skup 30. svibnja 2007. u Svilajncu i promoviran zbornik "Akademik Miroslav Pantić".

Preminuo je 16. rujna 2011. Beogradu i sahranjen 21. rujna u Svilajncu. U ime SANU od njega se oprostio Miro Vuksanović.

Q: Java Scanner reading UTF-8 lambda character as 0 I am trying to input lambda functions from a Java reader, but the lambda character is reading as byte 0, and is printing out as an empty string. I have tried changing the scanner to specifically be UTF-8 and changed the terminal encoding, but nothing changed. I am using VS Code.
import java.util.*;
public class App {
    public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in, "UTF-8");

            System.out.print("> ");
            //input (λa.a)
            String cmd = in.nextLine();

            byte[] cmdBytes = cmd.getBytes("UTF-8");

            for (int i = 0; i < cmdBytes.length; i++) {
                System.out.println((int)cmdBytes[i] + "\"" + cmd.charAt(i) + "\"");
            }
            /*outputs
            40"("
            0" "
            97"a"
            46"."
            97"a"
            41")"
            */
    }
}

A: You can get Lambda to be printed out to the console, but you will need a couple of changes to your Java code.
Here is my Java code:
import java.util.Scanner;

public class ScannerLambda {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in, "UTF-8");

        System.out.print("> ");
        //input (λa.a)
        String cmd = in.nextLine();

        System.out.println(cmd);

        // Use chars and not bytes, because lambda has 2 bytes in UTF-8
        char[] cmdchars = cmd.toCharArray();

        for (int i = 0; i < cmdchars.length; i++) {
            System.out.println((int) cmdchars[i] + "\"" + cmd.charAt(i) + "\"");
        }
    }
}

Then you will need to start the programme with this JVM option:
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

This ensures that the console will be able to print UTF-8 characters correctly. This is especially important if you are using Windows as the default character set is not UTF-8.
This is the output that I am getting with the solution presented here:
> λa.a
λa.a
955"λ"
97"a"
46"."
97"a"

A: That happens because your input terminal does not support UTF-8 or the input format is not UTF-8, so the lambda gets mapped to 0. Use a terminal that supports UTF-8.
Even so, keep in mind that some UTF-8 characters like λ will take two bytes, so your for loop will be broken from that point (it will print the second byte of the lambda near the "a", the byte of the "a" near the ".", and so on, and in the end, you will have an exception because you will try to access .charAt(6) because the length of cmdBytes is 7):
> (λa.a)
0: 40 "("
1: -50 "λ"
2: -69 "a"
3: 97 "."
4: 46 "a"
5: 97 ")"
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 6
    at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:658)
    at App.main(App.java:14)

Changing byte[] cmdBytes = cmd.getBytes("UTF-8"); for char[] cmdBytes = cmd.toCharArray(); should do the job. Just keep in mind that the char 'λ' will still occupy two bytes.
> (λa.a)
0: 40 "("
1: 955 "λ"
2: 97 "a"
3: 46 "."
4: 97 "a"
5: 41 ")"


In today's global business environment, almost all companies are faced with the challenge of looking beyond their borders to reach more markets. They often wonder what qualities make up a successful international company.
We at TextMaster decided to find the answer. We surveyed hundreds of companies in a variety of industries and countries to find the underlying factors that global businesses share.

Kellen's Story
BHF Blog
Kellen Austin Dorse was born with what doctors could only describe as a "complex heart" and immediately following birth he was placed on a Pedi-Flight to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Due to his severe congenital heart disease (CHD), he underwent his first heart surgery in June 2016. What was supposed to be a short, one-week hospital stay began Kellen's three month journey in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU). A Facebook page, Keeping Up with Kellen (now named Kellen's Big Heart Fund), was created so that all who loved him could keep with his progress. It reached over 80,000 people in the first six weeks and started the #fightlikekellen movement.
Over time, he endured two open heart surgeries, three cardiac catheters, one joint catheter/surgical operation, and three days on life support (ECMO). Not wanting to leave his bedside, Katrina (Kellen's mom) was overwhelmed by the many prayers, gifts, and selfless acts that were performed by the Le Bonheur staff and Memphis community on a daily basis just so that their family could continue to support Kellen in every way possible. Despite the best efforts of the Le Bonheur staff, Kellen's brave fight ended at just five months old on September 16, 2016.
In remembrance of Kellen and all of the CHD superheroes, Kellen's Big Heart Fund, with the support of the Forrest Spence Fund, was created to provide support to the children and families in the CVICU at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. By meeting the needs of the patients and families of the CVICU through monthly dinners, providing general "fun" pediatric items ( I.V. Pole Pals, Feeding Friends Stickers, crib mobiles, games, toys, etc.), and Kellen's Capes for Kids we are able to ensure that every hospital stay is an enjoyable one for the patients and families of the CVICU at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital.

This article will be taking a look at the Mexican legend of La Llorona – a simple folktale…or a legend based on fact?
The woman's name is Maria, and she is very adapt at using her beautiful 'assets' to get what she wants from the male population of where she lives. It's no surprise really that she ends up marrying the most eligible and wealthiest bachelor in town.
Unfortunately for Maria, her rich husband lost interest in her after she had given him two young sons. Legend points to the fact that he began disappearing on 'business' trips for months at a time.
Before long she realized that he was having numerous affairs…and she began to blame her sons for her husband's bad behavior.
One night Maria decided to take her two young sons with her for a walk along the local river banks. After a couple of miles of their stroll, her estranged husband pulled up in a horse drawn carriage…with a younger woman!
Maria's husband was not happy about the fact that his sons were out this late, and that they were walking in such a dangerous area.
He demanded that the two boys get in the carriage with him.
When Maria saw her children with her husband, and his new conquest, she realized that they now had the love she so desperately wanted from her man.
In a possessed rage, she dragged the two boys out of the carriage and threw them into the river.
She ran down the river bank frantically trying to catch up with her drowning children…but she was too late.
Maria never got over what she had done…and slowly went crazy through extreme grief. She would roam the river banks for weeks on end, her white gown began to soil and deteriorate, gaining her the horrifying signature look.
She refused to talk to anyone, and she refused to eat. She spent the rest of her life walking along the river bank weeping uncontrollably for her lost children.
Rumor has it that you can sill hear her restless spirit weeping and still mourning the loss of her children around the banks of the Santa Fe River.
There have also been numerous sightings of her weeping spirit between Mora and Guadalupita.
Locals to the area are dead set on the idea that Maria's ghost, La Llorona, is a real entity, and it has been haunting the area for centuries.
Skeptics believe that La Llorona is nothing more than a tale created to frighten young children away from the river…a tale that has somehow now turned into a bit of an urban legend.
What really happened to the Eilean Mor lighthouse keepers?
Were they the victims of alien abduction? Were they dragged through a wormhole into another dimension? Did they fall foul of local paranormal legends?
Or did they simply 'do a runner', and carry through an elaborate escape from their job?
Eilean Mor is one of a group of uninhabited islands known as the Flannan Isles, located in Scotland. It is a lonely outcrop of land that is surrounded by jagged cliff faces, and a lighthouse stands on top of it's main grass covered hill.
On December the 7th, 1900, three lighthouse keepers (Donald MacArthur, Thomas Marshall and James Ducat) landed on the island to start a fortnight long shift.
When they arrived at the shoreline, they were met by their superior – Robert Muirhead. The three workers, and their boss, then checked the island to make sure all the equipment and supplies were in order.
Before leaving the men to their two week shift, the Superintendent let them know that there had been severe problems with mist around the island over the previous week.
He then departed to leave the three men to their duties.
On the mainland, the coastguard service that ran the lighthouse, had a large telescope fitted so that they could keep an eye on Eilean Mor and it's lighthouse.
If there was ever any trouble on the island, the lighthouse workers could simply signal to the mainland, and the telescope would pick up their call.
A couple of days after the Superintendent had left his workers on the island, the severe mist returned, making it impossible to zoom in on the lighthouse structure.
During the period of December the 7th to December the 15th, the lighthouse was only spotted on three separate occasions.
A passing ship did manage to catch a fleeting glimpse of the island structure, but they were amazed to find that it didn't seem to be in working order!
The boat that was booked to bring the men home after their two week stint, ended up having to be delayed until December the 21st, due to the bad mist conditions surrounding the island.
When it finally arrived, it's crew noticed that the lighthouse flag was not flying. This flag was usually set to show the incoming boats that the lighthouse workers were prepared to row out and meet them.
The crew decided to row ashore and find out what was happening.
When they got to the lighthouse – they found it locked up. When they finally managed to break into the building, they discovered a meal sitting waiting on the table and the fireplace untouched.
The three lighthouse workers were nowhere to be found.
They then frantically searched through the lighthouse log records, and discovered that the final entry was made on December the 15th – a day after the mist cloud had hit the island.
He was convinced that a rogue wave had hit the island and swept all three men out to sea, where they drowned.
Conspiracy theorists believe that the island was/is a hot-spot for alien activity, and the men were abducted by UFO's.
Some locals also believe that the island has a strange link to another dimension – a hidden wormhole that is linked to numerous paranormal events over the years.
In this article we will be covering the tragic death of James Courtney and Michael Meehan, and the paranormal activity that followed their demise.
Two crewmen of the SS Watertown were handed the routine task of cleaning an empty cargo tank in December, 1924.
It would turn out to be the last task either of these men performed.
During the job, an accident caused an increase in fumes within the tank, and both men were killed before any of their fellow crew members could reach them.
They were named James Courtney and Michael Meehan.
The crew found Courtney's body draped over Meehan's – a sign that Meehan had succumbed to the engine and oil fumes first, and Courtney had then made a desperate attempt to drag him out of the tank.
The two men died when the Watertown was halfway through it's route from New York City towards the Panama Canal, so the captain opted to bury the men at sea.
During their service the captain asked his crew if they would like to say any last words about the men – they remained silent.
Was this a sign that James Courtney and Michael Meehan were not exactly the most popular of sailors?
Was their unpopularity the reason behind them being given the messy and unpleasant job in the first place?
Throughout the weeks that followed their burial at sea, the crew started to report seeing the faces of James Courtney and Michael Meehan in the water and waves around the ship.
Their ghostly faces would suddenly pop up from beneath the waves, and just float there, staring for about five seconds…before disappearing.
Before long, the captain himself witnessed this paranormal activity, and decided to report it to his superiors.
It didn't go down too well, and he was ridiculed by just about everyone he knew!
He decided to get proof of this ghostly event, and purchased a camera to take on board the Watertown.
The captain was finally able to snap six photographs of the paranormal event at sea – he then sealed the camera, and the images safely, until he arrived at the next port of call.
When they were processed, five of the six images showed nothing but waves across the sea surface…but one had managed to capture the faces.
The image was tested by experts and found not to be tampered with in any way.
There has been several investigations into the photograph and many conclude the images to be genuine, Unfortunately, the negative went missing many years ago.
Surely, it would have been hard to fake this sort of image so well back in 1924?
What are your opinions on the subject?
This article will be taking a look at the mystery of the man from Taured – is this strange report based on truth…or nothing more than a 1950's urban legend?
The report starts on a scorching hot July day back in 1954 (depending on what source you are reading!).
On this day, a strange man appears at Haneda Airport (Tokyo Airport) – he is described as Caucasian and he sports a beard.
He approached workers at the airport and started to talk to them in French, when they did not understand, he switched his language to Japanese.
He hands over his passport to the service desk and the security airport worker notices something strange – Whilst the passport looked authentic, the country where it was issued, 'Taured', was recognized as non-existent.
The man was immediately placed under arrest and taken away to be interrogated.
The 'visitor' spent many hours trying to convince the Japanese airport security that Taured was a real country – he claimed it was located between France and Spain, and had by then been in existence for 1000 years.
They got hold of a map, and sat the man down in front of it…he immediately pointed to the Principality of Andorra…but he was confused as to why it was not named Taured.
An argument broke out – the man claimed that he was telling the truth, and the authorities claimed that he was up to something shady!
The airport authorities decided that it was way to dangerous to let this man go – there was something not quite right about him, and he could well be a criminal.
They placed him in a hotel room nearby for the night, and left two guards outside his door.
The next morning, when the officers went to check in on the man, they were confronted by an empty room.
There were no signs of escape – the male visitor had simply vanished into thin air!
Unfortunately, all of his personal documents had vanished as well – making an investigation into his arrival, near enough impossible!
So who was the man from Taured?
Many people believe that he was some kind of time traveler, and a man that possessed the power to switch from dimension to dimension.
Did he know that he was actually traveling into another dimension?
Some argue that he probably didn't – he ended up in Haneda Airport by complete accident!
Is Andorra known as Taured in his dimension?
Was he a clever time traveler?
How did he manage to vanish without a trace?
What Happens When You Enter The Bermuda Triangle?
Let's take a closer look at the paranormal location known as the 'Devil's Triangle'….
The first person to coin the phrase 'Bermuda Triangle', was an author by the name of Vincent Gaddis, in 1964.
He published an article in an issue of a Pulp magazine that covered a well known area of the Atlantic Ocean that was infamous for 'erasing' numerous aircraft and ships.
The title of this now famous article was The Deadly Bermuda Triangle.
This article pushed the Devil's Triangle into the public's eye, and it immediately became popular due to it's reputed mysterious vanishings and stories of supernatural elements.
The legend of the Bermuda Triangle actually stretches back as far as 1492, when Christopher Columbus sailed through the area.
The famous discoverer actually included the triangle area/location in his notes, claiming that his crew kept on seeing strange lights in the sky, and his boat's equipment started to malfunction.
One of the most famous incidents linked to the area involved five torpedo bombers who were on a routine training mission on the 5th of December, 1945.
They were leaving Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to head towards Barbados and back – it was a training mission that would qualify the pilots to fly over water.
The planes never returned to base.
Later investigations showed that transmissions between the pilots and their base suggested that the plane's compasses were going haywire.
They insisted that they were not that far away from Florida…radio contact was lost soon after.
A rescue boat was dispatched to find their wrecked remains, but that boat also disappeared with 13 crew members, 27 minutes later.
Over the years there have been numerous public reports of UFO's in the Bermuda Triangle area – some of these UFO's have even been spotted under the surface of the water!
Funnily enough, there is actually a restricted naval facility on an island near the triangle – it is apparently called the AUTEC base.
Research tells us that AUTEC stands for Atlantic Undersea Test & Evaluation Center.
Many ufologists firmly believe that AUTEC is the maritime version of Area 51 – a oceanic version of the secret base that is said to house UFO technology.
A very famous psychic named Edgar Cayce believed that the legend of Atlantis was based on truth…and that the fabled city actually sits beneath the waves of the Bermuda Triangle.
This theory was recently modernized, and many paranormal experts now believe that the crystals that were said to power Atlantis, are the force that is behind the mysterious Triangle disappearances.
Over the last couple of decades, there have also been a few 'images' floating around the information superhighway. These images are supposed to show pyramid structures picked up on sonar, in the depths of the Triangle.
Another popular Triangle 'theory' is that a massive rouge wave appears from time to time – wiping out all in it's path. These waves are thought to be accompanied by freak lightening streaks in the sky above – bringing down aircraft.
They believe that the spirits of dead African slaves are rising from the deep to exact revenge for their execution – being thrown overboard.
This article will be taking a look at the famous psychic twins predictions made by Linda and Terry Jamison – do they really have the power to see into the future?
Linda and Terry Jamison claim to have shared the same thoughts, had the same feelings, and been able to predict the future together since they were toddlers. They claim to operate as one organism.
When they were babies, they shared a private language and had visits from various spirit entities throughout their youth. They dress identically, every single day, and even share the same dreams when they sleep.
According to the Twins, they went through a terribly tough time in high school, due to their powers nearly taking over their teenage minds. The scattered teenage emotions that surrounded them on a daily basis, overpowered them and frequently left them ill.
Paranormal gifts can indeed be a burden, but the Twins are an example of the power of trust and positivity – "We suffered for many many years, in fact, probably all our lives," the Twins admit.
Their gift could easily have turned into a burden, and ruined their lives…but the twins were determined to get a hold of their power – turn it from a negative into a positive.
The the Jamison Twins believe that they are now proof that the spirit world is in complete control, and has complete order, when it is handing out it's psychic gifts to us humans.
They eventually managed to embrace the weird powers they harnessed – they now promote the cultivation of personal weirdness, as it's the ingredient that makes us stand out -makes us different, and the Other World (apparently) likes different.
The twins claim that empathy is the key to psychic powers – Empathy is intuition.
Modern society often frowns upon empathy and labels it as a weakness – the ability to truly feel the emotions of others. But empathy is apparently key to opening the door to the Other World.
Just over two years before the terrible 9/11 terrorist attacks, the twins predicted that "terrorist attacks on government buildings" would occur…they even stated that the World Trade Center, and the Twin Towers, would be the target.
They also managed to predict the Boston Marathon Bombing and al-Qaeda attacks in Europe in 2010.

This article will be covering the legend of The Green Man that originates from the lonely roads of Pennsylvania. Also known as 'Charlie No Face' – is this legendary freak based on fact, or fiction?
It's a dark and rainy night as a couple drive up to darkened tunnel – a location that is often mentioned in a local legend that is linked to man/ghoul that has terrorized this part of town for decades.
The couple have only been dating for a couple of weeks, but he thinks his luck is in, this particular night.
He has heard of this location many times before – and his mates have suggested that he takes his date here, to scare her with the local legend and setting.
When the car enters the tunnel, his date turns to him and laughs – she is also local and she knows what he is up to…she has also heard the legend of The Green Man.
Surely this is nothing more than a High School legend – designed to get young ladies 'in the mood'?
A strange green light begins to form in the middle of the tunnel…and slowly moves towards the car. As the light get's closer, it takes on the form of a man.
The young couple are frozen in fear, as The Green Man's disfigured face peers in at them.
He has a hole in his cheek, exposing his teeth, and there is a deep hole where his nose should be. His eyes twitch…but they are nothing more than sealed eyelids.
The young lovers have encountered Charlie No Face, or The Green Man.
Local legend suggests that he was once an employee of the power company and was electrocuted by a downed power line.
This accident managed to hideously deform the poor soul…leaving him to hide away in the dark tunnel.
As he reaches out to touch the car, they speed off back into the night.
They are both fully aware that the legend suggests that Charlie No Face gets his power, and his green glow, from the cars he manages to trap within the tunnel.
Many paranormal experts believe that this urban legend is actually based on fact – an incident that happened to an eight-year-old boy named Raymond Robinson.
Raymond tragically fell into electrical lines on the Morado Bridge near Beaver Falls, and ended up with with hideous injuries to his face and body.
Due to such horrifying injuries he shied away from the public.
Raymond was constantly warned by locals not to venture out in the daytime, as he frightened the local children.
He resorted to taking long walks at nighttime, and soon became a bit of a celebrity.
Groups of teenagers would drive along the roads at night in search of him. More often than not, Raymond would stop to talk to them, and they would have their picture taken with him!

First Encounters
Return to Country
Understanding Bennelong

Whilst in London, the Wangal clansmen toured impressive monuments including St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. They visited museums, attended theatre performances and even took in a criminal trial at the Houses of Parliament. Later they were relocated outside London in rural Eltham.
... written down from the Singing of BENELONG, and YAM-ROWENY, the two Chiefs who were brought to England some years ago, from Botany Bay, by Governor Phillips [sic]. The subject of the Song, is in praise of their Lovers; and when they Sang, it seem'd indispensable to them to have two sticks, one in each hand to beat time with the Tune; one end of the left hand stick rested on the ground, while the other in the right hand was used to beat against it, according to the time of the notes.
Edward Jones, 'A song of the natives of New South Wales', Musical Curiosities, 1811
Within days, the party was in London. Lloyd's Evening Post announced the arrival thus:
Governor Philip [sic] has brought home with him two natives of New Holland, a man and a boy, and brought them to town. The Atlantic has also on board four kangaroos, lively and healthy, and some other animals peculiar to that country. From the description given of the natives of Jackson's Bay they appear to be a race totally incapable of civilization, every attempt to that end having proved ineffectual … no inducement, and every means have been perseveringly tried, can draw them from a state of nature … They are cruel, particularly to their women, whom they beat in a most barbarous manner on every occasion. That instinct which teaches to propagate and preserve the species, they possess in common with the beasts of the field, and seem exactly on a par with them in respect to any further knowledge of, or attachment to kindred.[1]
This brief introduction to the British public was repeated by the Dublin Chronicle a few days later. A number of newspaper reports followed but there was not the same level of interest that had accompanied previous visitors from North America and the Pacific. The lack of impact on the British public when viewed against previous indigenous peoples may have surprised Phillip.[2] The absence of gossip or interest at an official level may have reflected a change in taste. Indigenous people were no longer newsworthy. They had also arrived at a time when France and great Britain were at war. The reigning monarch, George III, also appeared to lack interest in the arrivals – something that would have stimulated wider interest in their presence.
Tench, on learning that Bennelong would accompany Phillip to England expressed the opinion that 'Baneelon, whom imagination had fondly pictured, like a second Omai, the gaze of a court, and the scrutiny of the curious ...'.[3]
Phillip intended for his charges to be introduced to English society. The outfitters Knox and Wilson provided Bennelong and Yemmerawanne with, frock coats, breeches, waistcoats and fine cotton underwear at a cost of ₤15 for each man. They were later provided with hats from Busby & Walker. Despite their finery they were the only New World envoys not to be dignified by such a meeting. During his stay, Bennelong lived at a number of locations, including that of William Waterhouse in Mayfair.
William Waterhouse was the father of acting third Lieutenant Henry Waterhouse who was present at Manly Cove when Phillip was speared. William Waterhouse had been principal music page to Prince Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland. The Waterhouse residence was a musical one and Bennelong and Yemmerawanne provided a song in their own language accompanied by hardwood clapsticks. The words and music were written down by Edward Jones, bard to the Prince of Wales and a neighbour of William Waterhouse. The music was published in 1811 in Jones' Musical Curiosities; or a Selection of the most characteristic National Songs, & Airs,
Consisting of Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Danish, Lapland, Malabar, New South Wales, French, Italian, Swiss…(London, 1811) as 'A song of the natives of New South Wales'.
Bennelong and Yemmerawanne also lived in quarters at Eltham. Thomas Townsend, 1st Viscount Sydney and former Home Secretary, had been given responsibility for devising a plan for settling British convicts in Australia and had framed the articles under which Phillip had acted in abducting Bennelong. Lord Sydney's country seat, Frognal House was located in Chislehurst, Kent approximately 5km Bennelong's Eltham quarters and it would appear that Sydney and Bennelong maintained contact during the visit. While in London Bennelong and Yemmerawanne men toured the key sites of the city including St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. They visited museums, attended theatre performances and attended a session of the trial of Warren Hastings at the Houses of Parliament.[4]

Die katholische Pfarrkirche St. Johannes Baptist ist ein denkmalgeschütztes Kirchengebäude in der Marktstraße 9 in Borgentreich im Kreis Höxter (Nordrhein-Westfalen).

Geschichte und Architektur
Eine Kirche wurde erstmals 1295 erwähnt. Die neugotische Hallenkirche wurde nach einer Bezeichnung, von 1833 bis 1836 in Werkstein errichtet. Vom Vorgängerbau, dessen Schiff 1833 abgebrochen wurde, fanden Mauerquader und Pfeilertrommeln Wiederverwendung. Auch das Nordportal mit genasten Dreiblattbogen aus der Zeit um 1400 wurde vom Vorgängerbau übernommen. Das Original der ursprünglich im Wimperg stehenden Johannesfigur wird im Zentrum aufbewahrt, sie stammt vermutlich aus der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts. Das Gebäude ist eine der ältesten neugotischen Kirchen in Deutschland und wurde nach Plänen des Baukondukteurs Goecker mit einem Chor im 5/8 Schluss gebaut. Im vierjochigen Langhaus ruhen Kreuzrippengewölbe über starken Rundpfeilern und Konsolen. Die Farbfenster mit Szenen aus dem Leben der Maria und des Johannes d. T. wurden am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts eingebaut. Auf dem Dach sitzt ein Dachreiter.

Turm
Der Westturm mit einem Spitzbogenportal, in einer rechteckigen Vorlage, wurde um 1280 gebaut. Die Schallöffnungen sind mit Vierblattmaßwerk ausgestattet. Die Schweifhaube wurde 1680 nach einem Brand ersetzt. In der Turmhalle ruhen hohe Kreuzrippengewölbe auf Konsolen. Die Höhe des Kirchturms beläuft sich auf 42 Meter.

Glocken
 Eine Glocke von 1730 wurde von Gottfried de la Paix gegossen.
 Die Glocke von 1682 wurde von Claudius Bricom gegossen.

Ausstattung
Die Ausstattung im Barockstil wurde in Weiß und Gold gefasst und zum überwiegenden Teil im 19. Jahrhundert angefertigt.

Hochaltar
Für die Errichtung eines Hochaltares stiftete 1776 ein Ehepaar Behrendes sein Vermögen. Das Retabel wurde von 1781 bis 1786 von einem Meister Lodenheiyt aus Alme angefertigt. Die Vorlagen entstammen, wie in dieser Zeit üblich, einem Musterbuch. Die Skulpturen entstammen einer Werkstatt in Paderborn. Die Figur des Sebastian auf der rechten Seite erzeugte wegen der mangelhaften Bekleidung Unwillen, und so wurde sie eine längere Zeit auf dem Dachboden gelagert. Sie steht heute wieder an ihrem ursprünglichen Platz.

Das Retabel reicht bin in das Gewölbe hinauf und beansprucht die gesamte Chorbreite, es bestimmt die gesamte Bühne des Chorraumes. Zur sarkophagartigen Mensa führen drei Stufen. Der Aufbau formt sich immer transparenter und bewegter nach oben. Der Tabernakel wurde später verändert, er ist von einer hohen Sockelzone halbkreisförmig umschlossen. Darüber erheben sich vier korinthische Säulen, die das verkröpfte Gebälk, über dem sich ein Himmelsgewölbe erhebt. Dies wird von einem Gewölbe, dessen Rippen sich zu einem Akanthusbusch beugen, bekrönt. Im Himmelsgewölbe steht eine Figur des Gottvaters, die von Strahlen und Wolken umgeben ist. Rechts und links davon stehen anbetende Engel. Statt eines Altargemäldes, steht im Zentrum eine Bildbühne in der die Taufe Jesu durch Johannes figürlich dargestellt ist. Rechts und links über den Türen stehen Figuren des Sebastian und der Agatha. Die Kartusche enthält den Text Hic es filius meus dilectus, in quo mihi compacui, Math: Cap (Dies ist mein geliebter Sohn, an dem ich gefallen gefunden habe).

Nördlicher Seitenaltar
Der nördliche Seitenaltar wird von einem Gemälde des Paderborner Hofmalers Johann Georg Rudolphi bestimmt. Es wurde von dem Generalvikar des Paderborner Fürstbischofs Laurentius von Dript gestiftet. Auf dem Bild ist sein Wappen und eine Inschrift zu sehen. Das Gemälde zeigt Gottvater, Maria und Christus und die Taube als Symbol des Heiligen Geistes. Gott trägt eine Mitrenkrone, Maria hat die Hände über der Brust gekreuzt und Jesus ist mit einem leuchtend roten Gewand bekleidet. Vater und Sohn krönen Maria. Unterhalb der Maria finden sich Darstellungen von kleinen Putten.

Sonstige Ausstattung
 Der Kreuzaltar ist dem Hochaltar und dem nördlichen Seitenaltar angepasst und zeigt an den Seiten Figuren des Liborius und des Nikolaus
 Die Kanzel wurde von 1846 bis 1851 von Gockel angefertigt. Korb und Schalldeckel sind reich geschmückt.
 Die Doppelmadonna aus Holz wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts angefertigt.

Orgel
Die zwischen 1630 und 1730 gebaute Orgel zählt zu den bedeutendsten im nordwestdeutschen Raum. Sie befand sich ursprünglich im Kloster Dalheim und kam 1803 nach Borgentreich. Sie die größte erhaltene Springladenorgel und die viertgrößte historische in Deutschland. Sie gehört aufgrund ihrer speziellen Bauweise zu den bedeutenden Denkmalorgeln Europas. Der Grundbestand geht auf einmanualiges Instrument der Familie Bader aus der Renaissance zurück, in das Pfeifen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert integriert wurden. Gottfried Bader erweiterte um 1677 die Orgel um ein Brustwerk. Zwischen 1705 und 1710 ergänzten Johann Jacob John mit den Gebr. Reinecke ein Rückpositiv und ein selbstständiges Pedal. Johann Patroclus Möller tauschte um 1750 ein Register aus.

Nach der Umsetzung nach Borgentreich wurde die Orgel im Zuge des Kirchenneubaus 1836 in veränderter Form aufgebaut und das Rückpositiv als Hinterwerk aufgestellt. Carl August Randebrock nahm 1872 eine Umdisponierung vor. Von 1951 bis 1953 führte Paul Ott nach Plänen von Christhard Mahrenholz eine erste Restaurierung durch, die aber von teils falschen Annahmen ausging. 1997 wurde ein Förderverein mit Blick auf eine Restaurierung der Orgel gegründet, und fand eine erste Bestandsaufnahme durch Sachverständige statt. Nach einem Orgelsymposium (1998) und der Bildung einer Sachverständigenkommission (2001) wurde 2003 die Orgelbaufirma Hermann Eule (Bautzen) mit den Arbeiten beauftragt. Ziel war die Wiederherstellung des Zustandes, den das Instrument zum Zeitpunkt des Erwerbs aus Dalheim hatte. 2010 wurde das restaurierte Instrument wieder in der Johannes-Baptist-Kirche aufgebaut. Die Orgelweihe fand am 14. Mai 2011 statt.

Heute präsentiert sich die Orgel in ihrem gewachsenen Zustand. Sie verfügt über 45 Register, verteilt auf drei Manualen und Pedal, mit über 3000 Pfeifen. Etwa 70 % des historischen Pfeifenbestandes und der Großteil des mit vergoldetem Akanthus-Schleierwerk und reich profilierten Gesimsen verzierten Gehäuses sind erhalten. Der Prospekt, mit großen und kleinen Pfeifentürmen, nimmt die gesamte Breite der Westwand im Mittelschiff ein. Auf dem Hauptwerk stehen, in bewegten Gewändern, zwei Engel mit ausgebreiteten Händen. Ebenfalls erhalten sind die Springladen von Bader im Hauptwerk und von John im Rückpositiv und Pedal sowie die Schleiflade im Brustwerk von Möller. Die Disposition lautet:

 Cimbelstern.
 Calcantenruf
 Tremulant
