Charleston apologizes for role in slavery...
Charleston Apologizes for City's Role in Slave Trade
By Melissa Gomez, New York Times
Charleston, the South Carolina port city where about 40 percent of enslaved Africans who were brought to North America landed after being taken from their homelands, has become the latest city to apologize for its role in the slave trade.
In an emotional and at times heated meeting that drew a standing-room-only crowd, the Charleston City Council on Tuesday night approved a two-page resolution in City Hall — a structure built by slaves — that its supporters saw as a step toward racial healing.
The resolution, which was approved by voice vote and was met with loud cheers, recognized that the city had flourished at the cost of those enslaved and apologized on behalf of the city for its role in the trade. It also acknowledged wrongs committed against African-Americans by slavery and Jim Crow laws.
The resolution pledges city officials will work with businesses and organizations to strive for racial equality, and suggests the creation of an office of racial conciliation to help the process of racial healing.
But some people who spoke during a public comment period and council members who debated the resolution for nearly two hours questioned whether it went far enough to tackle systemic issues, like affordable housing, economic development and criminal justice matters facing the city's African-Americans.
Mayor John Tecklenburg, who supported the measure, spoke of how "enamored and intertwined" the city had been with slavery. "Do we have a reason to be sorry, to apologize?'' he said, his voice unsteady. "We do."

Yeonmisa
Origin of Jebeewon
Origin of Yeonmisa
"Yeonbiwon-bulsa is located in the southern part of Mt. Ohdo about 5km away from the village to the northwest.
A big rock was erected, on which an image of Buddha was carved, and it is about 30m high. It was constructed in the 8th year of Jungkwan in Dang Dynasty, and it has a 6-story roof.
The shape of the building is like wings spread in the sky. Afterwards, it was reconstructed twice, but old materials were used for the columns and beams, etc."
According to the record above, the construction of the stone Buddhist image and the castle seems to have been carried out in the year of 634 AD(the third year of Sunduk Queen in the Shila Dynasty). Besides, it was found out that even until 1608 when the book, Yeong-gaji, was published, they were preserved as it was.
However, the name of the castle was gone, only to leave Yeonmiwon-bulsa recorded, which shows that the original name of the temple was already lost. The following is another record saying:
"Priest Boduk had 11 prestigious pupils, among whom Musanghwasang had Gumdongsa built with his pupil Gimchui and others, both Priest Jukmyul and Priest Eiyoong had Jingoosa built, Jisu had Daeseungsa built, Sujeong Yoomasa built, Sadae had Jungdaesa built with Gyeyook and others, Gaewonhwasang had Gaewonsa built and Myoungduk had Yeongoosa built."
'Yeongoosa' shown in this record indicates the very 'Yeonmisa', which is not quite sure without a detailed record capable to support this assumption, but it is quite desirable to base the assumption on the legends handed down orally by the priests in Yeonmisa and the holes and foundation stones seemingly used to build the castle roof above the Jebeewon Mireuk Buddhist image.
In other words, the swallow-shaped and many-storied building covers the stone Buddhist statue and even the rock in front of it, which indicates that the way of constructing the temple is similar to that of a stone cavern temple, and this space was the Buddhist sanctum, whose location corresponded to the beak of a swallow. That's why the temple has been called Yeongoosa.


M ost businesses have a job application template that is used time and time again to gather information on applicants as part of the hiring process. The standard job application template includes generic questions so it can be used to hire for all positions from customer service representatives to janitorial staff. The question is how relevant are the types of general questions to the role being hired?
One of the most frustrating things to job applicants is answering endless questions that don't seem to apply to their given position. For instance, on your current template you might ask applicants to provide a words-per-minute typing speed, and if they can lift up to 40 pounds. The first is relevant to a data-entry position, where the second is relevant to a shipping position. These types of questions can cause confusion, and might cause a qualified applicant to not complete an application. So, what can you do to ensure your job application template is relevant? Create job applications by role.
Creating a job application template for the role you are hiring will aid in the recruiting process tremendously, as you can ask relevant questions and information of each applicant. By creating relevant questions, applicants will feel confidence in their abilities to perform the roles of the position and will increase the quality of your applicants.
When positions need to be filled quickly, most companies use their standard, generic job application template for all applicants, regardless of role. This can actually lead to inefficiencies, as more applications will be received for recruiting staff to sort through. However, if role specific job application templates are developed in advance, applications can be gathered faster by providing the right application to applicants, which will lead to greater efficiency of screening candidates, and a faster, better hire.
As part of our post last week, we mentioned that behavioral interview questions are key in hiring happy, engaged employees – which ultimately reduces turnover. By including behavioral interview questions customized for your job application template for each job, you will greatly increase your chances of finding the right fit candidate for the position, and ultimately reducing turnover.
Creating job application templates by role, companies will see an overall increase in the quality of applicants, greater efficiency during the screening and hiring process, as well as reduced turnover costs, as these steps will aid in hiring the right fit candidate for the position time and time again.

Swedish Channel Boots Out Celebrity Producer Over Criticism of Black Lives Matter
in Europe, World News
Swedish producer, writer and blogger Alexander Bard, a former star of the pop act Army of Lovers, lashed out against the Black Lives Matter movement, calling its members and supporters to stop "becoming self-appointed victims" and instead "get their s**t together".
Swedish TV4 has decided to part ways with producer Alexander Bard as a member of the jury in the show "Sweden's Got Talent" following his criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement.
In a viral post this weekend, Bard urged the black community to stop living on welfare and playing the victim card.
"If black lives want to matter, then black lives get their f***ing s**t together, study hard, go to work, make their own money instead of depend on welfare, stop lying, get out of prison, and become heroes instead of self-appointed victims for the world to laugh at. That matters!", Bard tweeted.
Following this tweet that ruffled many feathers and left the public deeply divided, Bard was also relieved of his duties as jury member in TV4's "Sweden's Got Talent" show.
"TV4 has been in contact with Alexander Bard and has jointly concluded that it is not appropriate for him to continue as a juror on "Sweden's Got Talent", executive producer Lotta Edvardsson explained in a comment to the newspaper Expressen.
According to the newspaper, celebrity influencer and fellow jury member Bianca Ingrosso demanded that Bard be fired, threatening to leave the jury herself otherwise.
Bard called TV4 "embarrassingly amateurish" and "passive aggressive" and accused it of "pandering to the lynch mob".
Some lamented the firing of Bard as an attack on free speech.
Tweet: "'TV4 kicks out Alexander Bard'. So freedom of opinion no longer prevails in Sweden".
In a subsequent interview with the news outlet Nyheter Idag, Bard expanded his ideas and ventured that Martin Luther King would have hated Black Lives Matter.
"I believe victim cults are a sheer hell, and there will only be a lot of violence and misery. <…> [The US] tear down statues of heroes and build new statues of victims, and I think black people deserve better. Not least all the blacks who work hard, plug, take their kids to school, stick to their marriage – and it works", Bard told Nyheter Idag.
For his tweet, Bard even received threats, not least from 46-year-old rapper Leopoldo Fernando Gonzalez Carmona, known under his moniker as "Chinaman" and currently serving a jail sentence. In a now-deleted Instagram live, Carmona called Bard "f***ing gay son of a bitch". "You will hear more of me, you damn f*g", he said, as quoted by the news outlet Samhällsnytt.
Since his show business days, Bard has reinvented himself as a political activist. Describing himself as a Libertarian Marxist, Bard, a vocal opponent of laws against drug consumption and prostitution, has been an on-and-off member of the Liberals and the Citizens' Coalition Party. Following the BLM debacle, Bard left the Liberals for the second time.
The death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old African-American man, in police custody in the US state of Minnesota has sparked major protests across the US and beyond, with violent clashes and looting.

I watched a movie in the 90s, I think. I don't remember much from the movie. There was a young boy who has a blond virtual girlfriend with large breasts. I remember a pool scene where they swam around naked.
Then she becomes real in the movie and comes to life. I don't remember the rest. I think it was a thriller type, but I don't know.

which went under the title Code Lisa in Europe.
inspired by the 1935 classic Bride of Frankenstein to create a virtual girl using [his friend's] computer; infusing her with everything they can conceive to make the perfect dream woman. After hooking electrodes to a doll and hacking into a government computer system for more power, a power surge creates Lisa, a beautiful and intelligent woman with seemingly endless powers.
That's just the beginning. The plot involves a party, conjoured cars, Lisa (Kelly LeBrock) pulling a gun on the boy's parents, rewriting their memories, grandparents being frozen and put in a cupboard, an enormous missile conjured through the house - a mean older brother being transformed into a giant talking turd. Too much to go into in any coherent detail here.
The TV series is much the same but involves the blond actress Vanessa Madeline Angel pictured above playing Lisa.

Review: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
November 22, 2013 Jillian Putnam Arts/Culture 0
Last night marked the premiere of the much anticipated Catching Fire, the second chapter to the Hunger Games movie series based off the original books. The theatres were piled in with chattering fans, all awaiting the title to roll onto the screen and wondering how closely this film will follow the second book, and if it will be as exciting as the first movie.
I'm not going to lie: I was on the edge of my seat during the movie, waiting for the next twist and heartbreak that Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) may endure. However, the movie started out pretty slow, and followed the same format as the first.
It began with Katniss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) back in District 12 after winning the Hunger Games, ready to travel on a tour to proclaim their love and happiness about the games. Viewers are taken on a journey with the characters, where we see dirty and broken down districts, while the Capital and President Snow (Donald Sutherland) continue to thrive.
Is that the smell of rebellion in the air? Anyways, Katniss's mocking jay has became a symbol to the people of hope and courage, ideas that the President detests. This push and pull between good and evil goes on for about an hour until viewers understand what the President's solution to Katniss and the rebellion is: to kill all of the Hunger Games survivors.
To not give away the whole movie, Hunger Games winners from each district are forced to enter in the game again and turn against each other. Katniss and Peeta are the obvious favorites, even though Katniss seems slightly oblivious throughout the movie about her presence to the people, she eventually realizes that she is the hero of the oppressed and will be the one to truly enact a full rebellion. Get ready for an interesting twist, and an end that will leave you begging for more!
Both the new and old characters were given time to develop so readers could connect, and I found myself rooting for most of them. I also enjoyed the music and scenery, the actual Hunger Games arena was a spectacular jungle and the Capital was extravagant as usual. I mean, who can forget about Effie's (Elizabeth Banks) gold hair?
There are a few things that kind of bothered me. Like, what is going on with the love triangle between Katniss, Peeta, and Gale (Liam Hemsworth). In the beginning, we are to believe that the love between Katniss and Peeta was a facade and just a means to survive, because she truly loves Gale, the bad-boy miner. But then, once Katniss and Peeta realize that they must pretend to love each other again, there does seem to be actually more between them. I know this isn't the point of the movie, so do we really care? But c'mon, Katniss, just pick someone!
I think Jennifer Lawrence plays the role phenomenology. She's engaging, heroic, and super badass with her archery skills. If I were to be thrown into the Hunger Games, I would want her to be my alley. But, would it kill Katniss to crack a smile every once and while to the people she cares about? I understand she's gone through some pretty messed up stuff, and is now not only forced to relive it but also be a beacon of hope, but the constant gloominess can be a little overbearing.
Despite a few minor issues, I overall loved it and completely stand by my statement to go watch it yourself. Remember who the enemy is.

Q: Benefits of using Intellij IDEA as Mathematica IDE? I use Intellij IDEA for Java programming, but have not really considered it for Mathematica. I saw a video with a Wolfram programmer who was describing it as "essential" for him, but from what I could gather of what he said, most of the benefits for him were either workgroup related (sharing code with other Wolfram programmers) or were doing things involving "internal" Mathematica code, not notebook code/problem solving.
So, for a person doing normal Mathematica calculations and models in the science world, what, if any, are the significant benefits to using Intellij IDEA?
