Papaʻenaʻena heiau was situated on the side of Lēʻahi, Diamond Head. It was referred to by early writers as "Lēʻahi heiau."
Papaʻenaʻena was reportedly built by Maui King Kahekili to commemorate his conquest of Oʻahu. This heiau was destroyed in about 1856 and its stones were carted off to Waikīkī for use as rock walls and driveways.
During the Mahele this site was given by the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi to the future King Lunalilo. After the king's death this site was sold to James Campbell, in 1883. Later, Walter F. Dillingham bought the land from Campbell.
In 1910, Walter Dillingham married Louise Gaylord. Bucking the current trend of wealthy families living in Mānoa, Mr. Dillingham chose to build his new bride a home on a dry and – at the time – remote area on the slopes of Diamond Head.
With the help of famed Chicago architect, David Adler, they built a home similar to the Villa La Pietra they admired in Tuscany while on their honeymoon.
Three elements compose the central structure. One is facing the northward toward the Koʻolau range, one westward to the Waianae range, and one southward to the sea.
All three face inward on a flagged courtyard surrounded by a pillared arcade. In the center of the courtyard is an Italianate fountain, which was used to cool the building when the breeze swept through the structure.
The building is a composite of villa, as noted by Grace Tower Warren, Island Hostess: An Italian Villa in Hawaii, Paradise of the Pacific, Vol. 63:
"Many people have had the idea that La Pietra is a copy of my aunt's villa in Florence of the same name, the one In which Mr. Dillingham and I were married, but such is not the case", said Mrs. Dillingham.
"It is a composite of several of the beautiful villas in Florence to which my aunt, Mrs. Acton, took me, The facade facing the Waianae Mountains and the town is copied from the Villa Cambreia, The facade facing the Koolau Mountains is a replica of the de Medici villa in Florence. Our architect was David Adler, and he beautifully combined and coordinated the designs and ideas we loved…"
Mr. Dillingham and Adler did not work together in person. At the time Adler was designing another residence in New York. So Mr. Dillingham sent Mr. Adler detailed measurements and contour maps of the site, and photographs showing the setting in which the villa would stand.
With that, La Pietra – meaning The Gem or The Rock – was born.
The Dillingham home was completed in 1922 and included 5 bedrooms, a swimming pool, a formal dining room, horse stables, servants' quarters, tennis courts, and a game/pool table room.
Architecturally, the home is described as "An extensive two-story "Italian villa" in an imposing terraced setting overlooking Kapiʻolani Park, Waikiki Bay and Honolulu; an example of the "Mediterranean Revival" period which had some popularity in Honolulu, as on the mainland."
For the next 40 years, La Pietra was a social center for Honolulu's wealthy and famous, with visitors to the estate including Franklin D. Roosevelt and Walt Disney.
Upon Mr. Dillingham's death in 1963, Punahou School gained ownership of La Pietra and used it for faculty housing; the property was eventually sold to the newly formed Hawaii School for Girls in 1969.
With its start at Central Union Church, Hawaii School for Girls then renamed and relocated to La Pietra – Hawaii School for Girls, an independent, college preparatory school for girls, which consisted of nine founding teachers, 210 girls and Head of School, Joseph Pynchon.
Over the years, various enhancements were made to the campus. A six classroom building named in honor of Mrs. Cooke was dedicated in January 1977.
The athletic complex, completed in 1987, was named in honor of Mrs. Anthony in 2008. Bachman Science Center was built in 1997. Most recently, the school renovated its library to create Hawaii's first all-digital school library.

Possibly the Last Human Sacrifice
"In 1804 when Kamehameha was on his way from Hawaiʻi to invade Kauai he halted at Oahu with an army of eight thousand men at Oʻahu."
"The yellow fever broke out among the troops, and in the course of a few days swept away more than two thirds of them. During the plague, the king repaired to the great marae (heiau) at Wytiti, to conciliate the god, whom he supposed to be angry."
"The priests recommended a ten days' tabu, the sacrifice of three human victims, four hundred hogs, as many cocoa-nuts, and an equal number of branches of plantains."
"Three men, who had been guilty of the enormous turpitude of eating cocoanuts with the old queen, were accordingly seized and led to the marae."
"But there being yet three days before the offerings could be duly presented, the eyes of the victims were scooped out, the bones of their arms and legs were broken, and they were then deposited in a house, to await the coup de grace on the day of sacrifice."
"While these maimed and miserable creatures were in the height of their suffering, some persons, moved by curiosity, visited them in prison, and found them neither raving nor desponding, but sullenly singing the national huru (anthem) – dull as the drone of a bagpipe, and hardly more variable – as though they were insensible of the past, and indifferent to the future."
"When the slaughtering time arrived, one of them was placed under the legs of the idol, and the other two were laid, with the hogs and fruit, upon the altar-frame. They were then beaten with clubs upon the shoulders till they died of the blows."
"This was told us by an eye-witness of the murderous spectacle. And thus men kill one another, and think that they do God service." (Journal of Tyerman And Bennet, 1832)
But that wasn't the last …
"Kaʻahumanu was a woman of the chiefly stature and of celebrated beauty … her husband (Kamehameha) cherished her exceedingly. He had the indelicacy to frame and publish an especial law declaring death against the man who should approach her, and yet no penalty against herself."
"And in 1809, after thirty-four years of marriage, and when she must have been nearing fifty … Kanihonui, was found to be her lover, and paid the penalty of life". (Stevenson)
Kanihonui was a handsome 19-year old. Reportedly, Kaʻahumanu had seduced the boy while she was intoxicated; in addition, the boy was the son of Kamehameha's half-sister – and, Kamehameha and Kaʻahumanu raised him.
Kanihonui was put to death at Papaʻenaʻena Heiau on Leʻahi (Diamond Head) for committing adultery with Kaʻahumanu.
"After the death of Kanihonui the mind of Kaʻahumanu dwelt thereon; she could not readily dismiss the thought. This event was preceded by the death of Keʻeaumoku, the father of this chiefess, by the plague; therefore she was sent to a disconcerting place, but to no purpose." (Thrum)
"She sought to recover from her anger but was unable to do so; and she considered … taking the kingdom from the king by force and giving it to the young chief, Liholiho."
"Before she laid her plans for the war, a holiday for the purpose of surfing at Kapua in Waikiki was proclaimed, because the surf was rolling fine then."
"It was where one could look up directly to the heiau on Leʻahi, where the remains of Kanihonui were, all prepared in the customary manner of that time."
"It was said that only Kaleiheana, who was a Luluka, watched over the corpse from the time of death until it was decomposed."
"The chiefess had heard something about her lover's remains being there, and perhaps that was why the proclamation was made."
"On the appointed day, chiefs, chiefesses, prominent people, and the young chief Liholiho went to Kapua. When all had assembled there, the king gathered his men together in readiness for trouble."
"He sent a messenger, Kinopu, after Kaahumanu's followers to find out what they were planning. It is said that three things were done at Kapua: surfing, lamenting, and more surfing; and it is said that they had intoxicants with them."
"Thus they whiled away the time until evening." (John Papa Ii)
"And thus it was the young prince was before them and the chiefs at the time when Kalanimōku asked him, whilst the chiefs were assembled together: 'What think you? Let us take the government from your father, and you be the king, and your father be put to death?'"
"When the child heard these words he bent forward and thought deeply of the question's meaning. Straightening himself up and looking at the assembly, he replied: 'I do not want my father put to death.'"
"By this answer all the chiefs who were gathered together at that time were greatly gratified." (Kuokoa, August 4, 1869; Thrum)
George W. Bates, in 1854, describes a heiau at the foot of Leʻahi (believed to be Papaʻenaʻena) as: "Just beyond Waikiki stand the remains of an ancient heiau, or pagan temple. It is a huge structure, nearly quadrangular, and is composed merely of a heavy wall of loose lava stones, resembling the sort of inclosure commonly called a 'cattlepen.'"
"This heiau was placed at the very foot of Diamond crater, and can be seen at some distance from the sea. Its dimensions externally are 130 by 70 feet. The walls I found to be from six to eight feet high, eight feet thick at the base, and four at the top."
"On climbing the broken wall near the ocean, and by carefully looking over the interior, I discovered the remains of three altars located at the western extremity, and closely resembling parallelograms. I searched for the remains of human victims once immolated on these altars, but found none; for they had returned to their primitive dust, or been carried away by curious visitors."
Later (at about 1856,) Queen Emma ordered her workers to take rocks from Papaʻenaʻena heiau to build a stone wall around her property at Waikīkī.
"After the death of Kanihonui at Waikiki … Kamehameha … moved to Honolulu from Waikiki." (Laʻanui, Kumu Hawaiʻi, 1839; Thrum)

French security bill: lawmakers pass controversial bill that restricts posting of police footage
The most controversial section of the Global Security Bill – Article 24 – which was approved by lawmakers on Friday, bans the publication of images that identify a law enforcement officer "in the intention to harm them, physically or mentally ".
The bill – which has been the subject of much criticism and several protests – has been amended by the government, lawmakers say, to guarantee press freedom.
Now that the bill has been passed by the National Assembly, it will be sent to the Senate in December.
In a statement ahead of Tuesday's vote, Prime Minister Jean Castex's office said the new law should not "undermine the public's legitimate interest in being informed".
But the amendment was not enough for Claire Hedon, a veteran journalist appointed earlier this year as a French human rights defender.Speaking on French television just after the vote on Article 24, Hedon called the amendment a step in the right direction but warned that "in our legislative arsenal there is already the possibility of punishing anyone who uses it, malicious manner, the videos they publish. "
On Saturday there were more protests against the bill with around 22,000 people taking part in marches across France. In Paris, the crowd included representatives of the media, as well as yellow vests (yellow vest) protesters and members of the Extinction Rebellion.
"Disturbing message to send"
Overall, the Global Security Bill would expand the ability of security forces to film ordinary citizens without their consent through police cameras and drones, while restricting the posting of photos or videos of faces of policemen.
Amnesty International says that if the bill becomes law in its current form, France – one of the first countries in the world to proclaim the concept of universal human rights – will become an exception among democracies.
"If people cannot film anything in the street when the police can sometimes use force illegally, it is a very worrying message to send", according to Cécile Coudriou, president of Amnesty International France.
"On the one hand, we ask citizens to accept the possibility of being filmed on the pretext that they have nothing to fear if they have done nothing wrong. And at the same time, the police refuse to be filmed, which is a right in any democracy in the world. "
Supporters for the bill say it is necessary after police were singled out and harassed on social media during the yellow vest protests of 2018 and 2019. They also say nothing in the bill prevents journalists to do their job, because prosecution would depend on the need to show an "intention to cause harm".
But Reporters Without Borders considers this provision too vague. "Intent is a concept open to interpretation and difficult to determine," the organization said in a statement.
"Any photos or videos showing identifiable police officers that are published or broadcast by critical media or accompanied by critical comments could be accused of seeking to harm those police officers," the group said.
In parliament, the bill is pushed by two lawmakers from President Emmanuel Macron's La République en Marche party. One of them, Jean-Michel Fauvergue, the former head of the anti-terrorism police unit, told Parliament this week: "Article 24 aims to prohibit their denunciation and harassment on social networks. , by malicious and dangerous individuals. No worries: journalists will still be able to do their job. "
The bill's other co-sponsor, Alice Thourot, told CNN: "The broadcast and capture of images, whether with a camera or by citizens on the phone, of police officers doing their jobs with their faces presentations will always be possible. What will change is that any call for violence or incitement to hatred that accompanies such images will be sanctioned by law. "
Police batons and tear gas
And there are fears that the bill has already encouraged police during protests.
Last Tuesday, as the debate in the National Assembly began, demonstrators converged on the building to demonstrate against Article 24. Thirty-three demonstrators were arrested, mainly on the grounds that they had not been arrested. dispersed by order of the police.
Among them, a journalist from France Television detained overnight before being released the following afternoon without charge. France Television, the country's main public broadcaster, issued a statement condemning what it called "the abusive and arbitrary arrest of a journalist doing his job."
During a press conference on Wednesday, French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin was questioned about the police response to the protests and the video of a journalist who says the police threatened him with arrest after showing his press card.
"The journalist did not approach the police before the demonstration – as some of his colleagues did – to be allowed to cover it," Darmanin said. Nothing in French law obliges journalists to seek permission from the police before covering a demonstration.
On Monday evening, the Home Secretary himself responded shortly after a migrant camp in Paris was dismantled, saying some of the footage had been shocking.
Images and videos posted online showed what appeared to be police chasing people through the streets and hitting journalists with both police batons and tear gas. Darmanin tweeted that he had demanded a detailed report on the incident, adding: "I will make decisions as soon as I receive them. "
Incitement to hatred
But beyond the journalists' work, there are also fears about what the bill means for members of the public and what they might capture on their phones.
As Coudriou explains, "There have been so many recent cases of police brutality in France revealed precisely through the kinds of things that would now become illegal. Amnesty International has used many of these videos after verifying their authenticity. They show how some police brutality could occur despite a constant strategy of denial. "
Earlier this year, Cédric Chouviat, 42, a father of five of North African origin, died shortly after being arrested by police near the Eiffel Tower. During the stop, filmed by several passing motorists, Chouviat was cornered by three police officers; he died in a hospital two days later, and his autopsy revealed a fractured larynx, according to the prosecutor in charge of the case.
After several months and an initial denial of any irregularities by the police, the amateur footage partly led to the opening of a criminal investigation into the actions of the police officers involved. Three police officers are now facing manslaughter charges. All deny any wrongdoing
"That would be saying, after George Floyd, we are not going to allow the shooting of the police," according to David Dufresne, who says that his recent film on police brutality, "The Monopoly of Violence", would simply not have could not be done if the Global Security Bill was law.
"In France, we have a similar case: Cédric Chouviat," Dufresne told CNN. "People passing by and seeing that there is a police check that seems to be going wrong. Neither of them knows what happens next, which is the death of this man. When they start filming, it's because they understand that they have to. "

Relationships are an essential part of any business. In fact, one of the main ways construction companies maintain and grow business, is by forming positive relationships with customers that lead to future contracts or referrals. Sometimes, however, construction companies rely too much on relationships. If there is a customer that always pays on time and continues to provide new business, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that everything will always work out perfectly. However, after hearing a number of stories from levelset customers about payment problems, I wanted to draw attention to some red flags in order to promote good business practices.
Trusting the prime contractor (typically the general contractor or whichever contractor hired you) to ensure that you get paid if a dispute arises can be a dangerous game. No state allows for a 'blanket lien claim', so any lien action taken by a party up the hiring chain does not generally include lower-tiered parties in the claim itself. This means that even if the general contractor properly sends preliminary documents and files a lien to secure payment, the parties the GC hired are not protected.
Let's say the property owner on a construction project goes into bankruptcy. The general contractor may receive a portion of its claim, but not enough to afford to pay the subcontractors and/or suppliers they hired. These subs and suppliers are left with nothing unless each of them individually followed the proper procedures to establish lien rights during the life of the project. To rely on your general contractor to ensure you get paid is dangerous.
Next, while each state's lien law varies, some are much stricter than others when it comes to establishing lien rights. States such as California or Florida require that lower-tiered parties provide preliminary notices within the early days of a project. Failure to follow protocol can be fatal to a mechanics lien claim, no matter the situation. Think that a county clerk will make an exception because of a broken promise from your trusted contractor? Think again.
The filing of a Mechanics Lien is also subject to a specific deadline. As is often the case, an unpaid party may sit around and wait for the contractor that hired you to pay. Without knowing it, the contractor may hold off on payment long enough that any potential lien claimants lose out on their lien rights. Even if the contractor pays after an extended period of time, most businesses cannot afford to have their accounts receivables remain consistently uncollected. Cash is king when it comes to running a business, so failure to claim what you are owed in a timely manner is simply not smart.
What have I seen to be the best practice? Using lien rights to strengthen relationships on a project. Sending preliminary notices is actually more useful as a tool to provide clarity to a property owner and anyone up the chain from you by informing them that you are working on a project and letting them know how much you expect to be paid. It allows them to be actively involved in your participation in the project. Not only will you become more important on the job site, but you will even see that your invoices become a priority. By simply sending one letter, your positive relationships will extend beyond that between you and your longtime contractor. Could your business use an extra bump in work? Try this out and see for yourself.
Now I understand that one blog post won't cause you to dramatically change your behaviors overnight. At the very least, I'm hoping that this fosters some thought. If you still don't agree with me at all, though, I'd love to hear from you. But take this as my warning: it's not enough to rely on trust to secure what you are fairly owed.

Q: Keep only an element of a webpage while web-scraping I am trying to extract a table from a webpage with python. I managed to get all the contents inside of that table, but since I am very new to webscrapping I don't know how to keep only the elements that I am looking for.
I know that I should look for this class in the code: <a class="_3BFvyrImF3et_ZF21Xd8SC", which specify the items in the table.
So how can I keep only those classes to then extract the title of them?
r/Python
r/Java

I miserably failed in writing a code for that. I don't know how I could extract only these classes, so any inputs will be highly appreciated.

A: Okay, I have made a very simple thing that worked.
Basically I pasted the code on VSCODE and the selected all the occurrences of that class. Then I just had to copy and paste in another file. Not sure why the shortcut CTRL + Shift + L did not work, but I have managed to get what I needed.
Select all occurrences of selected word in VSCode

A: To extract the value of title attributes you can use list comprehension and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

*

*Using CSS_SELECTOR:
print([my_elem.get_attribute("title") for my_elem in driver.find_elements(By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a._3BFvyrImF3et_ZF21Xd8SC[title]")])

*Using XPATH:
print([my_elem.get_attribute("title") for my_elem in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH, "//a[@class='_3BFvyrImF3et_ZF21Xd8SC' and @title]")])

*Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

Winner are already a well-established player in the Casino gaming world and have been involved in sports betting since 2013. They cover an impressive amount of sports, have a really nice bonus, and great odds. We wanted to see if this translated into their new Winner mobile app, as just like everyone else, they have had their developers create one. For modern day punters, betting on the go is a must, so it is integral that the app they are using functions like they want to. In our review we will put the app through our rigorous testing system and give it an overall grade.
In the following pages we'll highlight some of the best features of the Winner mobile app and show you what is important to us when evaluating their product. We always have the user in mind, and as we are punters ourselves, we know what it is you want. Now, we'll see how to get started.
First of all, you just need to scan the QR code at the top of this page, it'll take you straight to the app. It really is that simple!
If you already have an account with the bookies, then things couldn't be easier. Just simply click on the 'login' button enter your usual details and then you are good to go. If you are a new customer, you can also click on this button and then there will be an option to 'register now'. Just follow the prompts and you'll enter you details. Now, you are set to go! You can swipe away and enjoy the app.
Once you're logged in, you'll see there is a lot available on the app. With many markets and options to click on. The app looks quite nice and serves as a good introduction to what will come. However, we need to go more in-depth before we make any judgements.
The Winner app comes with a strong no-fuss design. Everything you need is just a click away. The navigation bar at the top allows you to see all the sports you want, meaning it's just one-click until you see what you need. There is also a handy search bar to use, if you are looking for a specific game. All in all, it is a pretty simple design, but easy to use. So even those who don't like technology can bet on the go with this app!
Betting App Navigation The comprehensive structure and slick design of the app mean that you're always a touch away from your betting target.
Football Bets on the App The effortlessly discernible football icon is right up there in the navigation bar, so you don't even need to swipe.
Live Betting on Mobile It's hard to take a bookmaker seriously when a live betting option is wanting. This will never be an issue with the Winner app.
Present Promotions Winner's "Mobile Loyalty Offer" rewards loyal customers with up to £200 in free bets every month when bets are placed via a mobile device.
Horse Racing Markets The app offers quality horse racing betting. Finding the event or bet of your choice is always a quick process with this slick app.
Safe Mobile Transactions The Winner app allows users to place bets using traditional modes of payment as well as eWallets such as Skrill and Neteller.
Like most bookies, Winner do offer the chance to bet on live events. There are always a lot of events to choose from, and whilst there is no live streaming on offer, the handy info-graphic allows you to track the progress of the event you are following. This then follows you around as you scroll through the betting selections, and although sometimes it can be annoying, it is always helpful to have an eye on the action.
The Winner mobile app does provide the punter with some decent bonus offers. Their 'Mobile Loyalty' offer means you can earn up to £200 in free bets per month. The sticker here is, to qualify for one £10 free bet, you have to have bet £200(20 x £10), and this then goes up accordingly. So, in order to qualify for the full £200 free bets, you have to have wagered £4,000 in a month. The bets also must have been placed on either racing or various 'in-play' events. For the casual punter it is highly unlikely they will be able to take full advantage of this offer.
To be fair to Winner though, they also have general bonuses and offers that are available to all users, not just mobile ones and these are more attractive, head over to our Winner sportsbook review to see them!
The betslip on the Winner sportsbook app is very well developed. We think they have done a good job. Whenever you select a bet to place, the slip pops up and you have the option to quickly tap on the amount to bet. Instead of typing the number. This might not sound like much, but it saves you a lot of time, and is something that will benefit the punter greatly when they want to place a quick bet on the go. Building an acca is also simple, and the app lets you build it quickly and easy.
The minimum bet of £0.10 is also reasonable. Overall, we were very impressed with the betslip and the ability to swiftly confirm a bet.
In order to assess the app fully, it is important to see how their payment and transaction system fares. The punter will always want their cash quickly after a big win, and you don't want to wait for weeks to see it. What's more, you also want to use your preferred payment option. Luckily you can use many of the traditional options such as Visa and Mastercard, whilst also having the ability to use PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, boku, paysafecard, and entropay. So, you do have a few options to choose from. All deposits are made instantly, and the minimum amount is £10.
Football, Horse Racing, Tennis, American Football, Australian Rules Football, Baseball, Basketball, Bowls, Boxing, Cricket, Cycling, Darts, eSports, Golf, Grehounds, Handball, Ice Hockey, MMA, Motor Sport, Rugby League, Rugby Union, Snooker, Table Tennis, Volleyball.
Withdrawals with Winner will take anywhere from 1-7 days to process, which is a bit longer than some other bookies. You also have to be careful, as you can't withdraw with all of the payment methods available to deposit. Winner also have very good customer service options, with phone and e-mail available for any of your queries. Something we found very helpful when we needed it.
Like all apps on the market, you need to fulfil certain requirements in order to be able to use it on your smartphone, tablet, or handheld device. If you use an Apple product that means having the operating system iOS 9.0 or above, and for Android you need the KitKat (4.4) system or later.
The Winner app download is available in the Apple Store for iPhone users, but if you use Android you need to get it from their site as it not currently available from the Google Play Store.
If your phone is too old, or doesn't use one of these systems, you can simply use the Winner mobile website, which will then replicate the app in your phone's browser. This means you can still bet whilst you are out and about, no matter what!
Now that we are coming to the end of the review, you'll probably agree with us that this is a pretty decent app. The navigation is easy, and we really liked the betslip and is something that will be really handy when you want to bet quickly. The bonus offer for mobile users is ok, and although there is no live streaming, they do provide a handy infographic for getting information quickly. For a better insight, we recommend giving it a go yourself, in order to getter a better overview of what we are talking about.
Furthermore, we really like the user-friendly interface of the app. You aren't bombarded with ads, or crazy graphics. It's just the right amount. This is something that is under-rated when it comes to playing on your mobile, as you have limited screen space, so you don't want it compromised. This is where we find balance is key, and it seems as though they have figured it out. If you like it when you can find markets quickly and place a bet with ease, then head on over to best betting apps anaylis of more great platforms.
Winner DECENT APP WITH SIMPLE INTERFACE Try now!
Now that we are finished, below you will find some of the more common questions people have regarding the Winner mobile app.
Winner state they can accommodate as low as £20 but depending on your method of withdrawal this could also be £30.
Is it possible to Cash Out whilst playing on my mobile device?
Yes, simply click on your 'open bets' tab and you'll see the option to cash out. Note that depending on the time in the game, or other factors (such as a heavily losing bet), this option might not be available.
I forgot my password for my Winner account, what do I do?
When you click 'login' there will be an option that says, 'forgot your password', follow the prompts and you'll eventually receive an e-mail to reset your password.

Diòpites (en grec antic Διοπείθης, Diopeithes) va ser un astròleg, endeví i impostor grec que venia oracles a Atenes. Diodor i Plutarc expliquen que l'any 432 aC l'assemblea d'Atenes va aprovar un decret a proposta de Diòpites segons el qual es perseguiria per impietat "a tots aquells que no creguessin en els déus i que ensenyessin doctrines referents als fenòmens celestes". Aquesta disposició va ser la causa del procés contra Anaxàgoras a l'inici de la guerra del Peloponès. El filòsof pensava que el sol era una massa de ferro incandescent, i creia que s'eclipsava perquè la lluna s'interposava al davant. En el judici, Anaxàgoras va ser condemnat a l'exili i va marxar d'Atenes. La llei que va impulsar Diòpites tractava de protegir la religió, però també de defensar els seus interessos particulars, ja que anava dirigida explícitament contra l'astronomia, ja que el seu coneixement feia perillar la credibilitat de les pràctiques d'endevinació basades amb els estels.

Diòpites va ser una de les persones més actives contra el règim de Pèricles, i potser per això va col·laborar amb el polític Tucídides. però uns anys més tard treballava a les ordres de Nícies.

Va ser satiritzat pels poetes còmics, sobretot per Aristòfanes, que el cita en diverses obres. Es deia que tenia una mà deforme. Els comediògrafs el presenten com un lladre de l'erari públic i un vident boig i enfurismat. Podria ser el mateix que és esmentat com un joglar per Ateneu.

Q: C# Winforms: Resize and overlap a control over another on buttonclick (possibly with transition animation) Let's say you have a form (in winform project) with 2 controls (control1 and control2) arranged in a menu/detail fashion, so that control1 is a menu (occuping the left portion of the form) and control2 represents the detail (occuping the right, bigger portion of our form).
Now, when I click a button I want the menu to disappear, overlapped by the detail control (which of course increases its size to the left), when the button is pressed again the operation must be reversed. It would be nice if this may be done with a short transition animation which shows the detail control progressively increasing its size to the left, covering the menu.
Of course one can do this messing around with Control.Location and Control.Size, and probably even acquire a transition animation with a thread which progressively increases the size while forcing some repaints, but I was wondering if there's a faster - better - cleaner way to reach my goal.


The man who lives at the home at 21 Sycamore Lane says early Tuesday morning his wife woke him up saying the home is on fire.
STEENS, Miss. (WTVA) – A family of three has lost everything but the clothes on their backs in an overnight fire and a firefighter is recovering.
District 1 and 3 volunteer firefighters responded to the fire just before 3:30 a.m. Baron McKee, a Columbus firefighter who also lives in the Steens area, responded and was injured while trying to put out the flames.
Lowndes County Fire Coordinator Neal Austin says McKee was taken to the burn center in Jackson for treatment.
The man who lives at the home at 21 Sycamore Lane says early Tuesday morning his wife woke him up saying the home is on fire. The fire started in a small building just behind the house and it quickly spread to the home. He said there was a space heater but it wasn't turned up high and had plenty of space around it so he can't understand how the fire started.
CJ's Pizza in Columbus is accepting donations for the family.


There seems to have been an explosion of laying systems over the last few months. They are appearing everywhere and new ones are being churned out on a daily basis. Unfortunately, most of them are useless rubbish, written by some half-wit with only one intention - to pull in money from the unsuspecting punter using nothing more than a snazzy website and wild claims of life changing wealth and riches in the space of a month. Some of them will have just three rules, some will have fifteen, but the majority of the ones we come across fall well short of the mark.
A lot of people believe that laying is an easy game, after all how difficult can it be to find a loser, right? Wrong! Laying is a very, very difficult game and there aren't many systems that produce the goods consistently (see our system testing area for some that can). It is a game fraught with dangers, that 12/1 outsider (that you've had to lay at nearer to 16/1) who doesn't have a chance, but somehow gets up on the line and takes with it all of your previous profit and then some. And it will happen much more than you think!
It's not all doom and gloom, however, because there is a way to make a decent living from laying horses - especially if you concentrate on low priced favourites. There is only one way to do this successfully and that is to do your homework! It is definitely possible to make a comfortable living from laying favourites, in fact that's where the majority of my betting income comes from, but you must know what you are doing and, unfortunately, there are no real short-cuts.
So, the best way to learn how to do this successfully is to listen to someone who has been there, done that and worn the T-Shirt. In my opinion, one of the best laying courses available on the Internet today is False Favourites (it is actually a PDF doc. but at 216 pages, it's essentially a course). It's written by a Betfair Accredited Trainer, Jonathan Burgess, and it's clear from the start that this is someone who knows what he's talking about.
Right from the word go, Jonathan makes sure you are aware this is no walk in the park, you won't retire overnight, in fact the results on Jonathan's website show he is making around 10-15 points profit per month, not an outrageous claim by any means. So with £50 stakes you'd be profiting by £500 - £750, £100 stakes you'd be banking £1000 - £1500 a month. I think this is one of the reasons I really admire Jonathan, he is totally upfront, he won't insult your intelligence with ridiculous claims and hype. What he is offering you is the chance to learn how to make a consistent and relatively safe income by betting on horses to lose.
The second book deals with laying on the Flat and is just as detailed as book one, providing you with a wealth of information and numerous examples to ensure that you fully understand the methodology and theory behind it all.
Now, I know this isn't going to make pleasant reading for those of you who are searching for a "get rich quick" solution, but here at OBE we aim to bring the best of products to your attention, not the ones that make unrealistic claims and fail to deliver, and I would defy anyone to pay the £19.99 for this fantastic product and not to be absolutely delighted with it.
You know, we've said this before on here lately, but something that's really surprised us since starting this website is the number of quality products we've had the opportunity to review. Sure, we've seen a few BAD ones too, but on the whole we've really been very impressed with most of the products we've written about. False Favourites is one of the best - you'll love it!
At £19.99 this is a bargain, i have been paper trading for a few days and the results have been very good. If you follow the logic, not only will you trap the false favourite, it will give you a feel for the race.
I have this book. As has been stated already in this thread, the book does not outline a system and people will get different results. Its not totally objective like, for example, a system that just picks favourites between 2.0 and 3.0 that haven't won at the distance and course they are about to race at. It points you in the direction of types of races and courses where favourites don't so so well but that's just part of it. It doesn't claim to be a system so to say it's vague is to do it a disservice. The problem most people will find with it is that they won't be prepared to put the work in to get the best out of it. We live in an X Factor society sadly. "I want it now and with as little work as possible please" seems to be the order of the day in the UK today.
The results have not been updated since August, also you couldnt trust them as the rules are vague which means he could easily say any one of the faves he picked was the selection since different people get different selections.
It would help if he gave out selections but he wont.
he would be on the top of all laying tipsters if he proofef to racingindex, but he wont, and its free.
he talks like a betfair accredited trainer maens you know something about gambling, but as betfair what it takes to become one and they will tell you thats its a 2 day course on how to use betfair, e.g how to navigate etc so you can teach others how to do the same, it means diddly sqaut zilch and zero about gambling at all or horses.
yes the book is full of info, that all sounds very good and probaly is and is a very good but the author refuses to proof or update results so how can we trust it works.
This is why you should run a test, because all bought systems ful of seemingly usefull info but put to the test will the info actualy be usefull at all and actualy make any difference? We need a live test in my opinion.
Hi John, you say you are using a service that provides FF as a lay of the day, who is this and do they have a website.
I followed the selections of someone testing this service on another site and the results were incredibly good, the only problem was that we were seeing the selection after the race had been run so cannot verify how legitimate the results were.
The same guy that was testing is now providing the selections for a daily racing service that i have a month subscription to but the results have so far been disappointing with 5 of the 13 runners winning their races for a loss of about 5 points at BSP.
These are the selections so far this month, it would be interesting to see how they compare to anyone elses that is following the system.
Wow! What a meaty tome! I'm going to have a few sleepless nights getting through this! Looks a good 20 quids worth. My printer's just about recovered!
I have FF, but don't use it in it's full form because I just don't have the time at the moment. Comments in the past have been that the system can throw up different results for different people as some of the rules can be a little ambiguous. However FF isn't so much a system but more of a training manual on laying favorites. I currently use bits and pieces of it to use as filters for other stuff I have going on. If you look around you'll see a couple of manual & automated systems based on a similar premis as FF. I think it's worth it and so do many others on here. It's only £20 so what's to lose.
FF is much more worth that the price of £19.99.
Been looking at the comments on this "system" and thought hey! a method that works!! Now went onto thepay page to order it and they want $40.32. As I've been ripped off loads of times I'm naturally reticent to part with my hard earned and I'm thinking that that's more than £19.99. Is this system reeeely kosher? How much mave other forumites paid for it?
FF is a fantastic system.
But, i'm looking for someone who running this system also, then we can discuss about our pick of the day. If both of our pick are the same, then it's will be great. Well, if it is not, then we might need to review back our pick again.
A horse racing backing system with an advertised 80% strike-rate that literally forces you to win?

2020 Year in Review: Brave New World
Posted on December 21, 2020 January 1, 2021 by Elise
"It felt vaguely like being forced to live in a building splintered by a wrecking ball before the rebuilding had begun. Quarantine didn't just take things away; it revealed — with a harsh, unrelenting clarity — what had already been lost."
Into the unknown. L to R: Eva, Luna, me, Isa
This year forced us to our knees. Like so many others, I found myself disoriented and trapped inside, falling to my emotional nadir. We lost Kobe Bryant. John Lewis. Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And some 300,000 Americans to the plague. We yearned for the days when the rule of law was a given. America as we know it came apart at the seams. Even our best efforts to bridge differences won't work by themselves, they require that the digital platforms shattering reality in the name of "consumer choice" will have to dramatically change or be regulated into doing so.
I experienced COVID year primarily as a loss of innocence — the year I finally, finally had to grow up. At one point this summer, we were under stay-at-home orders (for rioting) in the midst of stay-at-home orders (for coronavirus). Did we ever think we'd miss each other like this, that we'd yearn for the joy of company and coincidence, serendipity and surprise, the magic of sharing poorly ventilated spaces with strangers? Grief, loss and identity shift defined 2020, both in the universal sense, and in a personal one.
Despite a year of radical change, I write this post feeling privileged and contented. The threat of the virus took away so much — loved ones, freedom, hugs, travel, an entire way of life I took for granted. But it gave, too. A return to nature. A stillness in which, egad, we could be alone with our thoughts. Time for introspection! And for me, a real deepening of my relationships. Because there were no longer the "friends" you just run into at a drop-off, or at conferences, you had to be intentional about how you spent your time and who you reached out to check-in on. I was more deliberate with my friendships than ever, and I felt that intention among the loved ones who supported me.
I'm also fortunate to be surrounded (more than ever, since they aren't in school) by my loud, vibrant, healthy kids who remind us how adaptable humanity is at its essence. To borrow from Des'ree's anthem from my millennial coming-of-age, we gotta be a little bit badder, a little bit bolder, a little bit wiser, harder, tougher.
Culture That Got Me Through 2020: Bong Joon Ho (just his entire energy), PEN15, Run, I May Destroy You, Younger, BTS' "Dynamite," Palm Springs, Dave Grohl's epic drum battle with a 10 year old he met on social media, the series ending of Bojack Horseman, this TikTok about Mitch McConnell
Moments of Unadulterated Joy: This gas station in LA, the day the networks finally called the election for Joe Biden. These kids, experiencing the drum solo in "In the Air Tonight"
MVP New Friends: Jenn and Drew, who are the parents of my daughter Eva's good friend Leif. They were rocks as we made Sunday pool time a regular thing to get through this hell year. Sarah Svoboda, who is my producer at VICE, became one of my closest girlfriends overnight. Rob, with whom I'd split giant breakfast burritos after five mile runs. I am now simultaneously fatter and in better cardiovascular shape.
Big Ideas: The fallacy of emphasizing individual responsibility over systemic fixes. We're in a care crisis that connects to everything else in our society — the economy, gender, education, politics. The nuclear family ideal is not workable on its own. Neoliberalism failed.
MVP Snack: Brown sugar boba popsicles saved my 2020. I became an accidental boba pop influencer! My only other influencing was for the Saved by the Bell pop-up in West Hollywood, which was a special treat.
Firsts: Book deal. Hosting an hour-long nationwide radio special. Global pandemic. Shelter in place order. Wearing a mask every day. Not leaving the country all year. TV work for VICE. Homeschooling my children. Social distancing. Going a year without being with my parents.
The Energy To Bring To All Things: It's what I call the Michaela Coel energy, after reading this landmark profile of the singular artist who brought us Chewing Gum and I May Destroy You. We say this, from here on out: 'This is what I need. Are you good enough to give it to me?' Not 'Am I good enough to deserve the kind of treatment that I want?'
Fave selfie. Celebrating Luna's 3rd birthday, at home.
Regrets: Never did learn how to play the ukulele. Barely made progress on my book, which was supposed to be mostly done by now, in a parallel universe. My relationships felt very COVID-blocked, to different degrees.
My Gamechanger: Jungian depth psychology with a dream analyst. This is the most woo-woo I've ever sounded, I realize. But after dipping in and out of traditional, more conventional cognitive behavioral therapy for most my adult life, Friend Jenn told me about her dream analyst and I started seeing him over Zoom and I have never had a clearer and deeper understanding of my inner life. I feel more whole and more grounded in an organizing philosophy for meaning than, well, ever. I credit it with keeping me contented through the crucible that was 2020.
One of the year's proudest achievements, squatting for around 15 minutes straight to conduct an interview with a man experiencing homelessness.
Also this year, in no particular order, and an admittedly incomplete list:
Wrote letters to more than 50 strangers, got the most moving responses
Got to know all the parks around here
Ran 301 miles
Held a squat for 15 minutes while conducting an interview
Watched 252 TED talks
Gained five to eight lbs, depending on the day
Never once got to hug my mom or dad
Signed my first book deal
Went to so many Zoom meetings, Zoom parties, Zoom milestones and Zoom conferences that I never tracked it
Helped link doctors so they could share COVID lessons in its earliest days
Started hosting TED Talks Daily
Didn't go to TED (the conference, because the plague canceled it)
Started working as a freelance correspondent for VICE News Tonight
Signed with my broadcast agent in January, who negotiated a lucrative deal by December
Co-created and hosted Labor, an indie podcast about why motherhood's messed up
Meditated more than ever before
Drew my first zine
Got a new cat, Abe
Did not get COVID19, at least not yet
Volunteered every Tuesday in the summer, delivering meals to neighbors in need
Got to know the homeless community in Venice
Went drinking with my high school economics teacher, Mr. Coates, 20 years after being his student. He re-explained the Laffer Curve to me at a punk bar in Chicago!
Reconnected with Matt Weiner
Read 39 books, a far cry from the 52 books of previous years
Moved into a new town home
Got a sandwich named after me — The Elise Hu, which is, shockingly, vegetarian
Flew 24,469 miles to 10 cities, never once left the country and spent only 29 days away from home — all of it, before March 13.

I Watched 252 TED Talks This Year And Answered Your Questions About 'Em
Posted on December 5, 2020 December 5, 2020 by Elise
Watching TED Talks is my day job, so I did a quick tally and it turns out I watched at least 252 TED Talks this year. They covered topics far and wide, and come from the main TED stage, TEDx stages around the world and other TED programs, like TED Salon and TED-Ed.
I have such breadth of random knowledge now that it's a shame there are no parties anymore, because I keep thinking I will be amazing at cocktail chatter.
On my Instagram Stories, I asked y'all to ask me anything about my TED-viewing experience. Since InstaStories don't last — they disappear after 24 hours — here's how I answered:
Top 5?
Sarah Kay's original 'If I Had a Daughter'
Brene Brown's breakout TEDx
Suleika Jaouad
What was your favorite celebrity TED talk?
I consider psychotherapist Esther Perel a pretty big celebrity these days, so if you haven't watched her original TED talk, its central ideas will make you think.
The most surprisingly practical TED Talk?
I loved and laughed with Brian Little, on personality.
What was the most valuable thing you learned among the TED Talks you watched?
Actually just last week I watched Lori Gottlieb's talk from TEDxDupont 2019. She makes a point that will stay with me: That most of our life struggles boil down to two themes — freedom or change. But something we neglect to think through in our quest for change is that it requires an unshedding, an unbecoming — that to grow and change, we must also experience some loss and grief.
The most applicable TED talk?
In 2020, anything about getting better sleep helps. Sleep researcher Matt Walker breaks down some basics.
What's a talk you wish teenagers would watch?
Tristan Harris, who presents an important intro to the attention economy and the danger of all our social platforms.
What's a good entry point?
Sir Ken Robinson's is one of the most popular talks from all time. It's delightful, thought-provoking and well worth your time.
Which one made you want to drink?
Andrew Marantz

If there is one big idea I have really spent the year interrogating and emphasizing through my work this year, whether it's my book (which is about capitalist-driven definitions of beauty that drive an endless cycle and competition toward unachievable standards), or through my newish social science and parenting podcast, Labor, it's about the fallacy of emphasizing personal responsibility over systemic fixes.
Whether we're talking about climate, health and caregiving policies, how we treat poor people or reckon with race, it all boils down to this: The US consistently asks individuals to take both the blame for systemic problems and the responsibility for solving them. This strain is synonymous with neoliberalism, which dominates the globe's economic systems, and especially so in American society and culture.
The toxicity of this idea is made tragically clear in our largely preventable COVID hellscape this year. Ed Yong writes:
"Pushing for universal health care is harder than shaming an unmasked stranger. Fixing systemic problems is more difficult than spewing moralism, and Americans gravitated toward the latter. News outlets illustrated pandemic articles with (often distorted) photos of beaches, even though open-air spaces offer low-risk ways for people to enjoy themselves. Marcus attributes this tendency to America's puritanical roots, which conflate pleasure with irresponsibility, and which prize shame over support. "The shaming gets codified into bad policy," she says."
I also serendipitously got to reinforce this idea in a TED Talk I introduced this summer, from the journalist George Monbiot.
"Our good nature has been thwarted by several forces, but I think the most powerful of them is the dominant political narrative of our times, which tells us that we should live in extreme individualism and competition with each other. It pushes us to fight each other, to fear and mistrust each other. It atomizes society. It weakens the social bonds that make our lives worth living. And into that vacuum grow these violent, intolerant forces. We are a society of altruists, but we are governed by psychopaths."
Worth a watch.

Livin' That Multihyphenate Life
Posted on April 6, 2020 by Elise
New gig, who dis?
Starting today I'll be in available in your feeds every weekday, hosting the daily TED talk podcast, which is the fittingly-named TED Talks Daily. It's one of America's top 20 podcasts and downloaded a million times a day, all over the world. Not only do I love working with the good folks at TED already and love being able to host this from anywhere with an internet connection, I can't wait to connect with the global TED community. From the TED announcement:
TED Talks Daily, which is downloaded one million times per day, is one of the most downloaded shows, and not just in the US — it's been featured in Apple Podcasts' top ten charts in 130 countries around the world (more than any other podcast)…
"TED Talks Daily has long been a favorite way for audiences to engage with TED Talks, so we're looking forward to adding onto the format," said Colin Helms, head of media at TED. "What listeners have come to know and love about TED Talks Daily will continue, but with Elise as our host, we can build a richer backdrop for our talks."
Ever since moving here I've craved and sought LA's multi-hyphenate, project-based way of life. (Which is to say, I wanted to be job promiscuous instead of contractually locked down to one single employer.) So in addition to my other hustles, my dear friend Rachel and I co-founded a media company, and brought on another rad mom friend, Meghan. Reasonable Volume (yes named after Milton's riff in my fave film of all time, Office Space) is already off & running and making bespoke pods & projects, so let's make something together.
It probably goes without saying that I left my full-time role at NPR but in true LA-style, I am staying "attached," like they say in Hollywood, to NPR projects as a roving host at-large. Public media remains vital and maybe now more so than ever.
And with guidance from my smart, savvy agent/friend/life coach, Howard, I sold my book project, Flawless, examining K-beauty, gender & power to Dutton, an imprint of Penguin Random House. This year I have to actually write it.
OK that's the update. Change is hard but constant. I'm trying, like everyone else, to keep my head above water and stay open to all of it. My cadence these days is every other day or so I'm totally fine and find a lot of joy in my quotidian quarantine life, and every off day I'm in total despair and think of all the calamity and uncertainty nonstop. The only way through it is through it, but I hope that we can all stay connected and supportive to one another during this wild time to be alive, a wild time to be a human.

Yesterday I was talking with Reeve about a difficult decision and how I didn't know how to weigh it because it's between two great choices. He said that there's no way you can really do pro/con lists for decisions like that, a nugget of knowledge he learned from this TED Talk on the topic.
The gist is it's almost impossible to make a difficult decision on the merits of the competing choices alone. Instead, you should use tough choices as opportunities to make a decision based on which values to affirm. If this makes no sense, it will if you watch the talk.
I found this clarifying in the way that advice from Shankar helped me a lot that one time.

Q: How to get 2 least significant byte from a integer in c? unsigned char x=0;
//int num is some random integer
x=num;

How to get 2 least significant bytes?

A: Since you want the two least significant bytes, you will need two unsigned chars to hold the two bytes since unsigned char is just a byte in length.
unsigned char x, y;
x = 0x00FF & num; // Get the first least significant byte.
y = (0xFF00 & num) >> 8; // Gets the second least significant byte and store it in the char.

A:
How to get 2 least significant bytes?

int least = (signed)((unsigned)num & ~((~0U)<<(2*CHAR_BIT)));

CHAR_BIT is a preprocessor-constant equal to the number of bits in a byte, which is a minimum of 8.
I use unsigned integral types, because bit-twiddling signed types is fraught with peril.
-1U is all-bits-1, due to modulo arithmetic on unsigned types, same as ~0U.

Healing Refuge Fellowship
A healing community of Christian discipleship.
Join an Online Meeting
Addiction is more complex than it may seem. Written for the non-addict who seeks to understand substance addiction, The Soul of an Addict shows that addiction not just a disease or a choice. Using statistics, anecdotes from the lives of addicts, and the author's personal experience with addiction and recovery, the book argues that addiction affects all aspects of human existence, including identity, purpose, life structure, and morality. It serves as a religion in the addict's life, and any approach to recovery must also provide these essential needs. With one in seven Americans struggling with substance abuse, this book brings a timely analysis for anyone concerned about addiction.
For more information, praise, a preview, and purchasing options, click here.
James K. A. Smith argues that what we do is a better indication of what we love than what we say. This book challenges the premise of secularism, arguing that we all love and worship something. What that is may surprise us. And what we love affects how we think and feel. Change what we love, and we change our lives.
This book looks at the Twelve Steps, introduced by Alcoholics Anonymous in 1939, as what they originally were: tools of Christian discipleship. Though AA declared itself non-religous in order not to alienate any who were suffering, the Steps themselves come directly from Scripture, and from a discipleship program that operated in the 1920s and 1930s.
Kent Dunnington argues that addiction is neither disease nor choice, but rather habit in the classical sense understood by Aristotle and Augustine. We find some some flaws in his argument, and conclude that addiction, while it has aspects of disease and choice, also has characteristics of habit. But Dunnington's biggest contribution comes later: he describes addiction as false worship, dedication to a false god. This view of addiction as a [false] religion offers insight into recovery, and also poses what Dunnington calls a prophetic challenge to a church that often fails to take daily discipleship seriously. Despite its slaws, this book is worth a read.
Psychologist Gerald May's classic on addiction, which he doesn't limit to substance addiction. In fact, he argues, nearly all of us are addicted to something.
Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch offer a lively and practical book on embracing discipleship, including a powerful section examining the ways in which we distance ourselves from God.
A hands-on book about deliverance from Dr. David Appleby, who has more than 30 years experience in deliverance ministry.
For a lighter read, this hard-boiled mystery novel portrays an addict framed for murder. Told from the addict's perspective, it gives a realistic glimpse into his thinking processes as he tries to get clean in order to save his own life. May be triggering for those struggling with addiction.

A simple and highly sensitive bias condition monitoring circuit is presented for optical quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulators. The proposed asymmetric dithering technique is shown to be capable of monitoring three bias states simultaneously. The dithering penalty is shown to be less than 0.2 dB.

Q: Expansion Issue with omit list provided to \DTLdisplaydb In my DB the number of columns is rather large. Hence, I am trying to eliminate any columns which contain only 0 entries.
The number of columns, nor the column keys, are know upfront.
So, I step through the DB and generate a list of columns that are to be omitted.  When I do that the omit list provided seems to be ignored. Below I have omitted the code that determines which columns are
There are no problems for the case of:

*

*Manually specified omit list: So \DTLdisplaydb[A,C]{myDB} works fine.

*Omit list specified by a macro that has fixed content:  So
\def\ListOfColumnsToOmit{A,C}
\DTLdisplaydb[\ListOfColumnsToOmit]{myDB}

also works fine.
Only for the case where I compute the list of columns to omit and add them to \ListOfColumnsToOmit via the \AddToCommaSeparateList macro do things break.
So, the correct result would be that the last table was identical to the two middle tables.

The omit list was: \ListOfColumnsToOmit
\end{document}

A: The expansion of \ListOfColumnsToOmit in the last case is

which is obviously wrong. Even omitting the \space, which serves no purpose, the additional braces don't allow datatool to recognize the column names.

then the result is the same as in the "manual" examples.
