Terry Marvell Whitmore (March 6, 1947 – July 11, 2007) was an American soldier, deserter and actor.

A Black Marine, he who was one of the 503,926 soldiers and sailors who deserted from the United States military during the Vietnam War. He wrote about it in Memphis-Nam-Sweden: The Autobiography of a Black American Exile, one of the few memoirs of that war by a Black author, as well as appearing in two documentaries about GI resistance to the war. His autobiography, which was first published in 1971 and republished in 1997, has been called "an important addition to the canons of Viet Nam War literature and…also to that of African American autobiography." In addition to the two documentaries, while in exile he appeared in four Swedish fiction films as an actor.

Early life

Terry Whitmore was born on March 6, 1947 and grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. Writing about this in his memoir, he described a difficult early childhood but never thinking about being Black – "It just doesn't occur to you...because you're around black all the time." As he grew older and had to go "outside the neighborhood": "This is where you really start to feel it," he said of the racism he experienced. "They do hate us. Just plain hate us." He graduated from high school and then enlisted in the Marines in fall of 1966 hoping to find something better. He felt he would have been drafted anyway, so he voluntarily enlisted which allowed him to stay home for one more Christmas.

Military service
After enlisting, Whitmore was sent overseas to fight in Vietnam. He was promised non-combat duty on a ship, but told an interviewer he had been cheated out of this by the Marines. By late 1967, he was a lance corporal operating with his unit near the DMZ (Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone). His memoir describes seeing U.S. troops engaging in atrocities, killing women and children and burning villagers' huts in Quảng Trị Province. Even though he participated in some of these actions with his unit, he believed that some of the North Vietnamese combatants intentionally spared his life, instead shooting the White troops he was with. In a later battle he was severely wounded in action by gunfire and shrapnel near Con Thien. He was transferred to the U.S. military hospital at Cam Rahn Bay where he described being wrapped in bandages from head to foot "like an Egyptian mummy". It soon became clear he needed more advanced treatment so he was sent to Japan for further care.

During his hospitalization, he had lots of time to think about what he had done and about the war in general. Appearing in the film Sir! No Sir!, about the GI resistance to the Vietnam War, he described seeing news coverage of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the subsequent riots in numerous cities in the U.S. He talked about seeing tanks and dogs in the streets of Memphis – armed men "wearing the same kind of uniform that I got", occupying his hometown neighborhood where he had a baby daughter. "They're beating up on people." He was struck by the realization that as U.S. soldiers were beating up on people in Vietnam, they were also beating up on Black people at home. As he recovered, he began dating a Japanese woman named Taki who had a photo of Martin Luther King in her apartment and a political cartoon of U.S. President Johnson with the caption "Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" The more time he spent with her, and the more questions she asked him, the more difficult it became for him to explain or justify what he was doing. In his memoir, Whitmore credited Taki with opening his eyes. He also wrote, "Nobody can ever tell me that the war in Vietnam is not immoral. It was disgusting and I'm none too proud that I was once a part of killing women and their children when my country was supposed to be there to help them."

While he was recovering, he was told he would not have to return to Vietnam. Once he got well, however, he was ordered back. By this time he felt he couldn't go back to killing the Vietnamese people. With the help of Taki and the Japanese anti-war group Beheiren, he instead traveled across the Soviet Union to Sweden, where he sought asylum. He became one of over 100 Black U.S. GI's who deserted to Sweden during that war – one of nearly 1,000 American war resisters who went to Sweden in those years.

Controversy
There is some historical debate and controversy about Whitmore's account of the massacre he described as taking place in Quảng Trị Province in late 1967. Whitmore described the complete destruction of a large unnamed hamlet consisting of a number of smaller unnamed villages composed of unarmed Vietnamese, men, women and children, including their livestock. Elements of his story, and the approximate timing, match the military records of an investigation, courts martial and murder charges directed at several Marines who were eventually acquitted by the military, but no clear evidence has surfaced to confirm (or disprove) his full story or the larger massacre he described. What is clear is that at least six and perhaps as many as a dozen unarmed villagers were killed by U.S. Marines in the operation Whitmore probably participated in. In addition, the general area was subjected to intense aerial bombardment and artillery fire, and much of the "ville" itself had been burned by U.S. troops just a few days prior to the reported killings. More, Quảng Trị Province was the most bombed province in South Vietnam with its capital district "saturated with 3,000 bombs per square kilometer". Some of what Whitmore described could have been the results of bombs and other earlier activity. One historian has called Whitmore a liar while acknowledging that the Marine hearing officer during the military investigation stated "The evidence reveals that some horrible acts were committed". Another historian who studied the same events is much more in line with Whitmore's descriptions. Nick Turse, who wrote the award winning Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam based on secret Pentagon archives and interviews with American veterans and Vietnamese survivors, quoted two separate Marines as saying their orders were to leave nothing alive, "kill everyone in the ville and burn it down."

Personal life

Whitmore married before enlisting and his first child, a daughter, was born while he was overseas. In Sweden, he was married again to a Swedish woman with whom he had two sons. While there, he also joined a basketball team founded by American deserters of the Vietnam War, the Stockholm Stars. In 1977, after President Jimmy Carter signed an executive order granting amnesty to draft evaders of the Vietnam War era, Whitmore returned to the US to meet his daughter for the first time, who was being raised by his mother. In Sweden, he worked for awhile as a script writer for the Swedish Film Institute, and then got more permanent work as a bus driver and a buyer for a large company. Whitmore returned permanently to Memphis in 2001, and died in 2007.

Works and films

Whitmore was one of the few Black Vietnam War veterans to write a memoir about his experience: Memphis-Nam-Sweden: The Autobiography of a Black American Exile, published in 1971 and republished in 1997. He was the subject of the 1970 Swedish documentary Terry Whitmore, for Example, and appeared in the 2005 documentary Sir! No Sir! about the GI resistance to the Vietnam War. He also appeared in four Swedish fiction films as an actor: Deserter USA (1969), The Gladiators (1969), Georgia, Georgia (1972), and The Trap (1975).

Awards and honors
In 1967, he was awarded the Purple Heart by President Lyndon B. Johnson. He was also awarded the Bronze Star Medal.

The mutants-filled survival sim was rusty on release, but in 2016, it's one of the best multiplayer horror games around.
I spoke to a flesh-and-blood paranormal investigator about Night School's indie game spooks.
Night School's first title matches attractive art to creepy sounds and a story that sees a coming-of-age adventure take a turn for the terrifying.
The more I played the game, the more I appreciated it. Was this notoriously unforgiving game actually ahead of its time?

The Institute of Business Forecasting and Planning reports the error rate is between 16%-28% forecasting one month ahead. The error rate 3 months out is over 50%.
Reveal how to spot a sales problem before it happens. Preventing a revenue shortfall is why you forecast. Otherwise, what's the point? Below is a sneak peek of a solution.
Is your revenue growth with a customer the same, better, or worse than the customer's revenue growth? The better your customers are doing in their business, the better you will do with them. When your customers succeed, they have more funds to purchase more of your products. When your customers struggle, they have fewer funds to purchase your products. This is simple. I know. The best ideas usually are. Have you cross referenced the revenue growth of your customers with your sales forecast? Give it a try.
This semiconductor's top customer is in trouble. Revenue is declining 6.9%. Yet, this chip company grew revenue from them 57%. This is a future sales problem. Sales growth is unsustainable.
In contrast, the customer performing the best grew 26%. Yet, this chip company is decreasing its revenue with them by 12%. This customer must be increasing its spend with a competitor.
It is possible to grow revenues from customers who are struggling. Maybe your offering is what these companies need to turn things around. But, how sustainable is this source of growth? Companies that struggle will make changes to fix the business. These changes might put your revenue with them in jeopardy. Maybe they sell the company. Maybe they change out management. Maybe they exit a market segment. Each of which could eliminate the need for your products. This type of revenue is unstable. Shaky revenue sources turn into non-forecasted sales problems, and unhappy CEOs.
The impact is severe. A CEO ignorant of this issue is at ease. He thinks everything is fine. The VP of Sales is putting up big numbers at the moment. All is good.
Then, kaflooey, the bomb goes off. The top customers stop buying. The CEO runs into the sales leader's office and asks, "WTF?" The sales leader looks at fancy dashboards. He calls the reps. He checks the probability %'s assigned to the forecast. No one saw it coming. The CEO goes from hero to goat overnight.
The purpose of this tool is to assess the health of your customers. Using it is simple. Determine rating criteria to assess customer health. List them on the left. Apply a score of 0-10. Define the scoring rules. In this example, if "future growth" is greater than 30% it gets a 7-10. And so it goes. Lastly, weight each criteria. Here "future growth" and "potential profit" are heavily weighted.
The goal is to spot a sales problem before it happens.
There is more to this. You might be wondering what to do if the top customer is in trouble. A common question is: "Should I invest in up sell activities?" Sometimes I get asked: "Should I put the account on autopilot?" Last week, a CEO asked me: "Should I pull the rep off of the account?" His sales leader suggested they put her on the next great account. A blog post cannot do this subject justice. My goal is to introduce you to the idea.
If you want more, speak with Mike (bio here), or Aaron (bio here). Their accuracy is 95%. They will make sure you never get surprised. Ask them about our Key Account Management practice.
Here is an article Mike wrote on this subject. And here is one from Aaron.

Community Centre bids to fund major makeover
Knighton Community Centre this month cleared a major hurdle in its bid to establish sustainability into the future and to fund the improvements necessary to turn the centre into a lively and inviting "community hub" for the town and surrounding region. Many in the local community will be aware that the centre's financial situation has been precarious for years, with urgently needed repairs to the roof and the mounting cost of maintenance and energy bills adding to the troubles faced by the small group of local volunteers who make up the management committee.
Now, after months of hard work by the management committee, and in particular its funding coordinator Dominique Jones, full grant applications have been submitted to the Big Lottery and the Welsh Assembly's Community Facilities and Activity Programme, which between them could provide £800,000 towards the cost of a major makeover for the facility as well as the employment of a Project Manager and Administrator to oversee the changes.
As part of the process leading to these applications, a feasibility study has been carried out in recent months by South Wales-based Community Development Consultant Mel Witherden who has analysed responses from a huge number of interviews with local people, as well as questionnaires circulated in the community. His aims were to establish the local community's attitudes to the centre, local needs and how the Community Centre might have to change to have a viable future. His findings and recommendations have now been published and have been central to the business plan underpinning the current funding applications and development plans.
Powys County Council has been onboard throughout the process, having agreed to take on the cost of roof repairs once a viable business plan was produced to take the centre into the future. PCC have agreed to take responsibility for the much-needed roof repairs and meet certain other running costs . PCC has also provided greatly appreciated support by appointing architects to draw up plans for exciting changes to the current buildings which will make the management committee's vision of the centre as a "Community Hub" become a reality.
Dominique Jones, while relaxing after her efforts producing the grant applications to a very tight deadline, knows that much more hard work lies ahead if the ambitious plans are to be realized. Chairperson of the Management Committee Karen Plant stresses that "If this regeneration plan is not successful the Centre's future existence is in doubt. It can no longer limp on as it has done". She and Dominique are meeting next week with Kirsty Williams AM to show her at first hand the problems keeping the present building open and the ambitious proposals for its future, in the hope of securing her support.
Meanwhile anyone interested in finding out more about proposals should come along to the Centre's wine and soft drinks bar in the Reynolds Room on Knighton Show and Carnival Day when a display on the topic, including architect's drawings, will be on view.
And if you really want to know more, here's the entire business plan to download.

Walked for a long time, 40 days, the track was not tracked. Nice thing.
Watches of good quality, all the whole, except for a deep scratch on the glass (((and so, quite correspond to the description!
The watch looks nice but there are a few bugs. The colors aren't so bright. I thought the butterfly is made of some kind of crystals but it is just printed.


Of course THAT's the day they have a lesson on Freudian slips, haha.
There is so much second-hand embarrassment in this comic. I love it.
no but that sprite is adorable.
This is at least my third time reading through to catch up, and I think Lemon and Lime are still my favorite characters.
Merry sicky Christmas, everyone. I wasn't doing too well this morning. Then the painkillers took effect. Presents!
Sorry I haven't been doing too well with this comic. I've had a rough while. But now I have a tablet again! This does not mean digital art, necessarily. This does not even necessarily mean art. Catatonic might -- note, MIGHT -- be going on hiatus again. But maybe not.
A watch? Who says you wear a watch? Who says it's an important part of your design? Who says I never draw it? Ever?
I'm terrible at doing things right.
Hahaha no I ate too much and slept too little. You know that feeling when you look over the clock after hours of tossing and turning and it says 5:31 AM? Well, I do, anyway. It's not a fun feeling.
I have been waiting for this chance for ages now.
I should think those expressions are rather obvious.
So yeah! Oz knows! Sorry for a lack of comic last week.
My scanner won't show the careful details I put in there. Oh well.
Wow. Seriously guys. Every time I look it seems like there's one more of you.
Don't forget, if you're on DeviantART, you can follow Catatonic here!
Do you like the first panel's effect?! I love it! My markers turn into watercolor!
That thing Ozy had never seen before.
Also, it's in crayon because markers are dumb and they die. Stupid light brown being the MOST USED MARKER EVER.
Jayna with wings... Heaven help them.
@CowgirlEm: I've been telling you "you shall see" a lot lately... In reality though, you won't for a while :D You gave me an interesting idea for a storyline!
And then she started glowing... Honestly, Jayna. What are we going to do with you?
I really like how the glowing effect came out though!
Yeah, I know it's technically Sunday. Oh well.
@Minerva: Aw, thank you! New page now though! And yeah, she got a haircut... it's around her waist now... it's just so fun to draw... Consistency is not one of my consistencies.
Because whispering loudly isn't the most suspicious thing anyone can do ever.
There you go, pikacha! More shipping fodder for you. Have ridiculous amounts of fun.
Jayna is like me in at least one way: she pays almost no attention to her surroundings.
Really busy week guys! Sorry! I had fifteen hours in one place that was not my home yesterday.

(1152-1185) va ser el fill de Taira no Kiyomori, i un dels comandants en cap del Clan Taira duran les Guerres Genpei al final de l'era Heian de la història del Japó.

Va ser el vencedor de la Batalla d'Uji, el 1180, i també a la Batalla de Yahagigawa el 1181, quan, després d'obligar a les forces del clan Minamoto a retirar-se, en Tomomori va caure malalt, pel que la persecució es va acabar. En Tomomori va tornar a obtenir una victòria sobre els Minamoto en una batalla naval, la de Mizushima dos anys més tard. Les forces del clan Taira van lligar amb cordes els seus vaixells, a fi de crear la major superfície estable possible per a disparar fletxes de foc i per al combat cos a cos. A la Batalla de Dan-no-ura, quan els Taira van ser derrotats decisivament pels seus rivals, en Tomomori es va unir a molts dels seus companys del clan en la decisió de suïcidar-se. Va lligar una àncora als seus peus i va saltar al mar.

En Tomomori s'ha convertit en un tema popular en obras kabuki. Un tatuatge d'en Tomomori sovint es suposa que significa un fort vincle amb el tràfic de drogues i el d'armes.

Without the associated program in the campaign factory, my tests run fine with 15 examples, 2 failures.
Here is my Factory..
FactoryGirl.define do

    factory :campaign do |x|
        x.sequence(:name) { |y| "Q6 201#{y}" }
        x.sequence(:comment) { |y| "JIRA OI-6#{y}" }
        channels ["Folder", "Fax"]
        program
    end

    factory :program do
        name "Caspian Star"
    end

    factory :plan do
        name "Third Storm Connect"
    end
end

My relevant models..
Class Campaign < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :program
    validates :program, presence: true

    belongs_to :plan
end

Class Program < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :campaigns
end

It definitely has to do with setting up the associated Program with Campaign but I can't figure out how to do it right. My intention is to not  create multiple instances of program but rather have the campaign associate with an existing one - or the one I create via FactoryGirl.
When using FactoryGirl's association :program method, I get the same error. It doesn't seem to matter what I name the program factory to either. I am also using DatabaseCleaner to clear the test database after it runs.
I'm currently trying to test the validates :program, presence true but keep running in circles with this.
Any help is highly appreciated.
UPDATE
Here are the specs as requested.
    describe "Relationships" do
        it { should belong_to :program }

        ...some unrelated relationship specs..
    end

    describe "Validations" do
        it { should validate_presence_of :name }
        it { should validate_uniqueness_of :name }
        it { should serialize :channels }
        it { should validate_presence_of :comment }
        it { should validate_presence_of :program }
    end

    it "serializes column into Array" do
      obj = build(:campaign)
      obj.channels = [1,2,3]
      obj.save!
      expect(obj.reload.channels).to eq [1, 2, 3]
    end

    it 'validates associated campaign' do
      campaign = build(:campaign)
      expect(campaign.save).to be_valid?
      expect(campaign.errors).to eq "You need to choose a Program."
    end
end

UPDATE #2
After experimenting with some of the answers below, I can confirm that sequence does not fix the error. However, when I completely remove the FactoryGirl association yet instantiate the association in the specs - I recieve the error Validation failed: Program can't be blank. Note, my specs are still not running..
Finished in 0.19413 seconds (files took 1.54 seconds to load)
0 examples, 0 failures

Something is going on before it hits my specs and I believe the answer is what the error refers to lint! I'm not too familiar with 'lint', as I set my Factory up following a blog. I checked the documentation and it appears that I have it set up correctly...however, it runs my Factories through my validations before the database is cleaned as well as before it runs any specs.
This is a problem when I want to validates :program, presence: true and instantiate it in the spec. 'FactoryGirl.lint' interrupts my test letting me know it can't be blank when that is exactly what I want the Factory to look like. So far, the only solution I can think of is to disable lint as I was able get my specs to run with it disabled.. but now that I understand it more, I can see how it could become very useful.
Is there a win-win situation for this scenario? Can I still have lint while preserving validations and associations the way I need them to be?
Here's a look at my spec/support/factory_girl.rb where lint exists..
 RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods

  config.before(:suite) do
    begin
      DatabaseCleaner[:active_record].strategy = :transaction
      DatabaseCleaner.clean_with(:truncation)
      DatabaseCleaner.start
      FactoryGirl.lint
    ensure
      DatabaseCleaner.clean
    end
  end
end

A: Does Program validate uniqueness of it's name attribute? If so, you'll need to redefine the program factory to generate a unique name for each instance it generates.
factory :program do
  sequence(:name) { |n| "Caspian Star #{n}" }
end

Or if you have a particular program you've seeded (or otherwise guaranteed to exist) and a way to access it, you could use a block when declaring the association
factory :campaign do |x|
  ...
  program { Program.some_program }
end

A: You're probably instantiating two programs and a program's name in your factory is hard-coded. Make it a sequence (like you did for campaigns) and you will be good to go.
* Update *
If you want your campaigns to have the same Program, you have to remove the program assignment from within the Campaign's factory and pass it explicitly in your specs. Like this:
FactoryGirl.define do

  factory :campaign do |x|
    x.sequence(:name) { |y| "Q6 201#{y}" }
    x.sequence(:comment) { |y| "JIRA OI-6#{y}" }
    channels ["Folder", "Fax"]
    # no more program here
  end

  factory :program do
    name "Caspian Star"
  end

  factory :plan do
    name "Third Storm Connect"
  end
end

And your specs:
let(:program) { FactoryGirl.create(:program) }
let(:campaign) { FactoryGirl.build(:campaign, program: program) }

describe "Relationships" do
    it { campaign.should belong_to :program }

    ...some unrelated relationship specs..
end

describe "Validations" do
    it { campaign.should validate_presence_of :name }
    it { campaign.should validate_uniqueness_of :name }
    it { campaign.should serialize :channels }
    it { campaign.should validate_presence_of :comment }
    it { campaign.should validate_presence_of :program }
end

Alternatively, the code above allows you to leave the factory as it is and overwrite the program instance as needed.

*

*Bonus *

In your specs, you're building objects with build + save!, while you should probably use FactoryGirl.create:
it "serializes column into Array" do
  campaign = FactoryGirl.create(:campaign, channels: [1,2,3])
  expect(campaign.channels).to eq [1, 2, 3]
end

A: I had this problem because I had created a record with the same name before so I had to run:
rails db:setup

And then I got rid of it and it started working again.

A: I'm not sure if this is the same issue that you're having, but I was getting a similar error and the issue was that I had a Model.create! method call in the spec (which fails with a validation error message instead of failing silently). As soon as I removed the bang ! everything ran properly.

A: I dont know if this problem is solved or not.. considering it is a pretty old question. I struggled with this issue a lot myself. Adding my answer just for documentation.
I used sequence in my factory for ModelB, That did not help with the error. I also tried database_cleaner. Still no success.
The reason for the error is explained by Joshua Clayton in this post
https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_girl/issues/523
What I understood is that even when I used sequence, I was creating my ModelB somewhere in my tests previous to using the factory. Factorygirl was not able to keep track of the records with the sequence. Hence the name was already taken.
I suspect the following code was causing it all.
class ModelA
  before_create :create_model_b
...

As a quick and dirty way to solve the problem, I changed the factory for ModelB to offset the sequence by a large number.
FactoryGirl.define do
  factory :model_b do
    sequence(:name){|n| "name_#{n+1000}"}
    ...

  end
end

It worked !!
Seems to be pretty dumb a solution, but my specs are all green now :)

What's next for former Xavier forward Kerem Kanter?
By Shannon Russell May 14, 2018 2
While Xavier men's basketball seniors Trevon Bluiett, J.P. Macura and Sean O'Mara graduated Saturday at Cintas Center, their former teammate Kerem Kanter spent the day working on his game hundreds of miles away.
Kanter, a grad student who spent a lone season at XU after three years at Green Bay, calls IMG Academy in Florida home for now. He has a history at IMG, as he averaged 17 points and nine rebounds there in 2013-14 before heading off to college.
Last year Kanter became a quintessential grad-transfer success story. After a sluggish start at Xavier, he found his stride and became a force in the frontcourt, averaging 10.9 points and 4.5 rebounds in the Musketeers' 29-6 season. The forward helped the program to its first Big East regular-season title and an NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed.
With just 38 days until the NBA Draft, The Athletic caught up with the 6-foot-10 Istanbul native to talk about life after college.
What have you been doing since basketball season's end?
KK: I took a week off once the season ended to take my mind off basketball. I didn't really watch any basketball. And then I started working out. I wanted to work on my body because I want to play at the next level, and the one thing that can hold me back is my speed and my strength. I wanted to work on my body as much as I can so I've been doing that.
I went to Chicago about three weeks ago and worked out there with players from Priority Sports (& Entertainment), for example Michael Porter Jr., Jevon Carter, and a lot of people trying to get ready for the next level.
For the last two weeks I've been working out at IMG Academy in Florida. I'm going to be here for a while. I went to school here and I think they have one of the best facilities in the whole country, and they also have a really good (program) called an NBA Program for people that either are trying to get drafted or people who are already in the NBA that are trying to get their game to the next level. So I'm here at IMG working out all day.
What are your expectations for your next step in basketball?
KK: I've been playing basketball my whole life. I wasn't getting paid for this. I was just playing for fun because it was something I liked to do. I think I'm at a level where I can make a career out of it. I want to work on my game and get my game at the best level so I can have basketball as my job and do something that I like for a living.
Do you have workouts planned with NBA teams?
KK: Yes, if I'm not wrong I think I have six. They start late in May. My agent (Andy Shiffman) hasn't said the names of the teams specifically, so starting late in May – I think May 30 – is going to be my first one. I'm going to have five other ones in June. What they do is they fly you into their city and you work out for them so you can meet with their GMs and coaches and whatever.
Have you received feedback ahead of next month's NBA Draft?
KK: Not really, just the trainers that I've worked with. They think my knowledge for the game and my skill set are ready for the next level. I just have to get my body there, my athleticism. Once you go to these workouts, they want to put you in some sort of challenges in like the weight room and stuff. I just want to get my body to the best level that I can here at IMG.
What do you consider your draft-ability potential?
KK: I don't really know yet because I haven't had any workouts. I think I'm a little different player in that… like when I was coming to Xavier, not a lot of people thought that I was going to get a lot of minutes. It honestly started that way. But once I showed my potential, I started getting more minutes and showed that I deserved to start. So I think once I get in front of people's eyes and show what I can do, I can wow some people.
How has your brother, New York Knicks center Enes Kanter, helped prepare you for the next step of your journey?
KK: Just by talking to him because he didn't go through the same process. His was a little different because he was going to be either first, second or third picked (in the 2011 NBA Draft). He's told me, "Be nice to everybody when you talk to them. You never know how they're going to help you, or whose help you might need in the future. You never know, so just be professional about everything."
If you played internationally, would you want to play in Turkey to be close to your family?
KK: I think if I happen to play overseas, I would want to play in Europe but I would not want to play in Turkey. I would want to experience a new country and get to know their culture. It was a cool experience for me to come to the United States. I love it here. I learned the language and the culture. If I happen to go overseas, I'd want to go somewhere other than Turkey.
Your undergraduate degree is in Business Administration from Green Bay. Did you finish your Masters in Sport Administration at Xavier?
KK: No, I haven't finished it yet. I still have I think a couple of classes and I have 200 hours of internship that I have to do. Professors are nice about it. They said the internship, I can do whenever I want. They were helping me that way. Right now I'm focusing on the NBA and workouts and taking basketball to the next level, but of course it's important. Education was one of the reasons why I came to the United States at first.
What do you take away from your Xavier experience?
KK: It was a really, really good experience. I think it was unique for me just because I was there for only one year and we had such a good success with the team I was playing for. People say you never know how important something is until you lose it, and that's what kind of what happened to me after the season was done. I missed everything about it. Not just games or winning or scoring the ball or whatever. I missed everything – the bus trips, practices, conditioning, being around my teammates. But it was a really good experience and I think I had a lot of success. I couldn't have asked for playing for a better program, players or coach. It was everything I asked for.
Any regrets?
KK: I wish I'd gone to Xavier all four of my years. Once I realized the season was over, I was crying in the locker room just because I had so much joy playing for Xavier and I realized it was over and it happened quick. I think things happen for a reason. I spent three years at Wisconsin-Green Bay and God made me choose that route for a reason, but I think it would have been cool to play for Xavier all four of my years.
Xavier has three grad transfers on next year's roster in Ryan Welage, Kyle Castlin and Zach Hankins. If you were to dispense any advice based on your experience as a grad transfer at XU, what would it be?
KK: I would just tell them to trust the process. Knowing from myself, the first couple of games I barely played and got on the court. But I knew how good of a player I was and I never lost any confidence in my game. So I kept playing my game and I didn't force anything. Just being the best player you can be and embrace your role. And I think Coach (Travis) Steele is a great coach. He's ready to be a head coach and he got that job for a reason, so I think he'll do a good job.
What was former associate head coach and current head coach Travis Steele like to work with as a player?
KK: I loved it. Not that I didn't enjoy playing for Coach (Chris) Mack but I wish I could also experience Coach Steele because he's such a nice guy off the court and he was always nice to me. I think he has an unbelievable basketball IQ. So I think that he's going to do some good things there.
With your parents being in Turkey, how much did the Macura family become a substitute family for you last year?
KK: I couldn't have asked for a better roommate than J.P. He helped me in every way, whether it was academics – even though sometimes he's not the greatest student out there – or my off-the-court problems. He and his family were my second family. I was with them at Thanksgiving and Christmas and I got to open gifts and they just embraced me as another member of the family. I still talk to Sue Ann (J.P.'s mother) and I'm planning on talking to all of them.

And then there were none: Kerem Kanter (back right) and J.P. Macura (right) have exhausted their eligibility, Kaiser Gates (back left) has gone pro and video coordinator Ty Sampson (middle) have departed Xavier. But fun times like these – on a snowy day before the Big East Tournament in New York, en route from practice at Columbia University to a promo video shoot in a van – are what Kanter says he misses most about his XU experience. (Shannon Russell/The Athletic)
Favorite J.P. Macura story?
KK: Oh, (laughs) let me think about that. We have so many inside jokes. If something happens that we think is funny, all we would do is look at each other. Only we would know how funny that thing was. I think we know each other really well.
When I got to Xavier, there was a Turkish restaurant downtown called Istanbul (Café). When I got there it was closed. Me and J.P. were searching for a Turkish restaurant and we only found one in Blue Ash. Before the season when we had a lot of time, we went there literally twice a week and get this huge plate and finish it. It was called a mixed platter so it had all kinds of Turkish meats on a long plate – chicken, beef, gyros, lamb, everything. The plate was almost as big as the table. I'm going to miss going there with him. It was fun times.
Any parting words for now for XU fans?
KK: I'm going to miss the fans, of course. I'm going to miss Kanter's Corner that they made. I don't know who it was but I want to give special thanks to the fans who opened up a Turkish flag in Madison Square Garden in the student section (at the Big East Tournament). I don't know who they were or I would thank them in person. That just made me really happy.

Apple's Siri speaker is called HomePod and will cost $349
So - a cynic might say Apple has just launched the world's most-hyped bluetooth speaker - not much imagination there. The success of the Echo has obviously persuaded Apple-which is gaining a reputation for being reactive as opposed to proactive in consumer trends-to jump into the smart speaker pool, a decision that will be dependent on how Amazon and Google react to the new kid on the block.

Claims for US jobless benefits fall by 10000 to 245000
Over the next couple of weeks the seasonals look much more favourable, and we expect claims to drop back into the 230s, perhaps hitting new cycle lows. Economists believe that labor market tightness could encourage the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at its June 13-14 policy meeting. Continuing claims are slightly lower for the week ending June 3, at 1.917 million in lagging data.	Lire la suite »

Djokovic surrenders in French Open quarter-finals
Top-ranked Andy Murray was bemused by the chair umpire's decision to give him a time violation when he was preparing to serve during his French Open quarterfinal win against Kei Nishikori.

There are plenty of characters in the world of sea kayaking who have gained prominence for one reason or another. Often notoriety or fame has been gained through the completion of an epic adventure. Well behind every great journeyman is a great boat builder. In this case its Mike Webb.
Here is one of life's genuine down to earth and straight talking individuals. What Mike loves doing is building boats that people want to paddle and currently that pleasure is being satisfied as master constructionist for Rockpool Kayaks. Whilst Mike may appear irreverent of the opinions of others, he does hold dear a process of healthy discussion where both sides can justify their perspective. This can be particularly effective over a pint, or several, at symposiums or trade events.
Mike may choose to describe himself as a grumpy git but beneath that veneer, or years of gelcoat, that is someone with a twinkle in their eye and a tremendous sense of humour. He cares about his work and quite happily put the time in to complete a job when most people are already in bed. Mike's reward is knowing that Rockpool Kayaks have gained a reputation for being elegant, high performance and well constructed quality boats.

Privacy group sues British spy agency over global hacking claims
The London-based privacy group alleges the UK signals intelligence agency, working with the US National Security Agency, used "unlawful hacking" efforts.
By Zack Whittaker for Between the Lines | May 14, 2014 -- 07:09 GMT (00:09 PDT) | Topic: Security

A privacy group, already known for taking on the U.K. government for privacy violations, is gearing up for yet another round.
Following the revelations that the U.K. intelligence agency GCHQ had reportedly infected millions of devices to snoop on citizens and collect data, Privacy International has filed a legal complaint alleging it conducted "unlawful hacking."
The NSA may not be listening to your private phone calls, but it has been watching your private parts
Tapping into laptop webcams shows the biggest and most blatant lack of respect for people's privacy by Western governments -- probably in living memory.
In a 30-page legal filing [PDF] with the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, which regulates the U.K. surveillance laws, the group claims the agency is "potentially far more intrusive than any other current surveillance technique," and can collect data not limited to location, age, gender, marital status, income, sexual orientation, and other highly sensitive citizen data.
The filing also alleges GCHQ has "not identified any legal basis for the alleged conduct," and that it breached the European Convention on Human Rights, which affords European citizens a right to privacy and freedom of expression.
The group wants its case heard in an open and public hearing.
Speaking to the BBC News, GCHQ declined to comment on the legal complaint.
Documents leaked by Edward Snowden to The Guardian earlier this year disclosed the "Smurf" program, officially named WARRIOR PRIDE, notably a series of mobile phone hacking tools that can activate a phone's microphone, track a person's geolocation, and stealthily activate a powered-down phone — all at the same time using self-hiding capabilities to prevent a device owner from knowing.
The newspaper also published leaked documents that showed GCHQ infected millions of devices with malware , dubbed TURBINE, and in conjunction with its U.S. counterpart, the National Security Agency, tapped into home computer webcams and snapped photos for more than two years on millions of people.
The privacy group asks in its complaint that the Tribunal declares these activities unlawful, that any collected data is destroyed, and an injunction be imposed restraining any further activities of these programs.
The Tribunal did not respond to the complaint, the BBC noted.

The basic definition of demurrage – a fee leveraged on cargo that stays at a terminal too long. The intent behind the fee is understandable – facilities need to turnover storage space as quickly as possible in order to make room for new customers. Demurrage exists to incentivise shippers to stay on schedule.
All port officials have the ability to enforce demurrage charges. In practice, it can be difficult to understand when you should actually expect to see demurrage charges on your bill. It's worth noting that you're at risk of incurring fees on both imports and exports. Figuring out whether or not you'll owe demurrage is just the first step. It can be an equally uncertain process to determine just how much you'll have to pay. As each terminal and carrier sets their own rates, and they almost always charge on a per day, per container basis.
Generally, a port will offer 4-7 free days of storage. Saying that each terminal has slightly different rules, and they could change at any time.
Demurrage is without a doubt one of the most frustrating aspects of working in shipping. As there are plenty of instances when cargo delays are out of your control, but at the end of the day, shippers are (unfortunately) almost always responsible for the fees. Demurrage is an inevitable possibility – even if the delay isn't your fault.
Associated Petroleum Consultants limited are experts in Demurrage disputes. Our primary aim is to offer impartial advice to clients as to the most suitable means of resolving such demurrage disputes as timeously as possible, on the understanding that many of these disputes result in expensive litigation.
Our personnel come from different technical and scientific backgrounds, including time-served deck officers of tankers, petrochemical carriers and LPG/LNG vessels, as well as laboratory chemists. Together we have expertise to help in all aspects of Demurrage disputes.

Lebaran 2017, Mobile Operator Harvesting Data Traffic Spike Up To 200%
byTim Editor
The various anticipations that have been made by mobile operators ahead of Ramadan and Eid ul-Fitr 1438H managed to record an exhilarating. Now they are harvesting revenue from a surge in communications traffic during the Lebaran 2017 season. Although they do not tell the amount of revenue they earn, they have reported an increase in communications traffic, especially significant internet data. At least three of the operators have released official reports: Telkomsel, XL Axiata, Indosat Ooredoo, and Tri.
Telkomsel experienced a surge in the use of data services more than 136%. This figure increases when compared with data traffic in the same period in 2016. And when compared with the normal day during 2017, this service also increased by more than 27%. The use of data services is the most used by customers to access social media (36%), followed by video streaming service (29%).
On the other hand, telecom traffic in Indosat Ooredoo network especially data service traffic also increased significantly even though still under Telkomsel. At the peak of Idul Fitri on June 25, 2017, data service traffic increased by 113.60% compared to data traffic in the previous year's Eid (2016). When compared with regular daily traffic, data traffic on Lebaran day increased by 39.52%.
Meanwhile, Hutchison Tri recorded an increase in traffic in Tri network, which is almost 200% higher compared to the same period last year. Tri customers actively use social media, instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp and enjoy the benefits of a toll-free phone and feature phone quota in the WhatsApp and Lines app for delivering Eid greetings and greetings. In addition, streaming is also a major activity of Tri's subscriber during the holiday season, homecoming and Lebaran 2017.
XL Axiata recorded the highest increase of data traffic. In the period of 20-27 June 2017 or H-5 until H + 2 Lebaran 2017, there was an increase of data traffic service up to 15% compared to normal days and increased 218% compared to traffic in the same period last year. This increase was driven mainly by increased access to Data services by customers compared to normal days, as well as a positive impact of the expansion of 4G LTE and 3G U900 services in various regions of Indonesia.
Despite the low traffic increase compared to other operators but Telkomsel's data consumption is far beyond its competitors. Operators of Telkom and SingTel subsidiaries are penetrating more than 6,000 TB (Terabyte) in Lebaran 2017. As for XL Axiata, data traffic during the H-5 to H + 2 period totaled more than 4020 TB, increasing from the average traffic Data on a typical day of 3,600 TB.
Meanwhile the Tri's data traffic averagely per day 3000 Tb / day, 35% is 4G LTE traffic. This is certainly not separated from the number of Telkomsel's largest customers than others. For Indosat Ooredoo, special on June 25 is able to reap traffic around 2813.18 Terabytes/day. Precisely the highest data traffic increase occurred during Lebaran 2017 which is on the peak day of H-3 Lebaran, where data traffic increased to about 3102.10 Terabyte/day,
Despite the increase in traffic, XL Axiata network is claimed to successfully serve customers, without significant obstacles. Likewise with Telkomsel which states the network is functioning well to serve the needs of customer communication in the moment Lebaran 2017. And Tri grateful customers do not experience significant obstacles in their network service during homecoming and celebrate Eid al-Fitr.

Data services are increasingly in demand
In contrast to data services that are increasingly in demand by many customers as the primary choice to communicate on Lebaran day, voice and SMS services are not increasing compared to normal day traffic. In the Telkomsel network, voice service traffic fell 6% to 1.3 billion minutes, while SMS tended to stagnate at 740 million SMS.
The same thing happens in Indosat Ooredoo where voice and SMS traffic tends to decrease during Lebaran 2017. When compared with regular daily traffic, voice traffic on Lebaran day decreased to about 286.52 Million minutes, or decreased about 14.45% and SMS traffic in Lebaran day decreased to about 321.12 Million SMS, or down 31.40%.
Access to a number of popular social media is increasing compared to access traffic on a typical day. In XL network, the highest traffic access to Facebook increased more than 50%, Instagram more than 20%, and YouTube more than 17%.
Meanwhile, the increase in traffic also occurs on access to Google services such as Google Maps and road map apps and Waze traffic density up to 135%. The increase in access to both services is in line with the surge in customer needs over route information and traffic conditions as heading to his hometown and tourist locations outside Jabodetabek.
The advancement of digital technology is also increasingly providing quality services for access to instant messaging, voice, video, and video call services along with increasing network quality Data available in the middle of customers. The trend is evident from the increased access to social media messaging services (WhatsApp, FB Messenger, LINE) more than 46.5%. The same is true of access to VoIP Call (WhatsApp Call, BBM, Facebook VoIP, Skype) services for up to 9%, as a new means of replacing traditional voice or regular voice services.
A similar thing happens in the Tri network. Increased use of video streaming via YouTube increased by almost 60% compared to normal days. While the social media application is dominated by Instagram use it increases by almost 70%. Message delivery through WhatsApp and Line Call features dominate the increase in traffic. The use of WhatsApp has increased by more than 80% and call features through applications has increased primarily by Line Call which has increased by 60%. Phone and SMS services are increasing compared to normal day traffic but not high
This trend shows changes in customer behavior that previously used many traditional SMS services. This high increase is also driven by the needs of customers to convey the wishes of Eid al-Fitr.

I was born on 3 March 1986, in a nominal Christian family in India. Since childhood, I went to the church and took part in all the spiritual programs.
As I grew up, there was no one to guide me to lead a good moral life. Hence, I lived a life that pleased my heart. However, there was no peace and joy within.
Once, a prayer meeting was organized in our village. I too went to attend the program. The words of the speaker began to speak to my heart to know the fact that I was leading a sinful life and was far from the presence of God. Realizing I was ignoring the Almighty Lord and His everlasting love, I confessed my sins and received Jesus as my personal Saviour.
From then on, I completely gave my life into God's hand to do His work alone. In the meantime, I met a pastor from a Gospel for Asia ministry who helped me to know the Lord more. Seeing my keen interest in spiritual activities, my church members encouraged me to seek God's will in my life. As days went by, a desire grew in my heat to serve the Lord for the rest of my life. As I prayed to the Lord, I was confirmed of my calling to serve Him in His vineyard. As I lacked knowledge in the Word, I enrolled in a Gospel for Asia Bible School.

Meek Mill has been on probation his entire adult life. Every time he wants to leave his home state of Pennsylvania, he has to obtain permission. So when the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Raptors in Toronto during Game 3 of the NBA playoffs, Meek could not sit near Drake (who pleaded on Instagram) and watch the game live. Even after obtaining approval from his probation officer, Meek's travel restriction remained in place. Close friend and 76er's co-owner Michael Rubin questioned in a post, "Judge Genece Brinkley – I know you have a vendetta against Meek Mill and are obsessed with trying to control every aspect of his life, but did you really NOT approve him to go to rep the sixers in Toronto for the game?"

Despite incidents like these, Meek Mill who turns 32 today, has managed to thrive. In between travel restrictions and a judge who has impeded his ability to perform, Meek has carved out a wildly successful career as an artist, entrepreneur, and advocate. The data visualization below breaks down six major ways the Championships artist has stayed winning regardless of ongoing legal challenges.

Each ring in the diagram represents Meek Mill's cultural impact since leaving prison last year. It does not include major career highlights prior to April 2018 or personal challenges the Philly native has experienced (outside his legal case), like the death of his cousin due to gun violence or his father being murdered. To qualify as a career highlight, each "win" was decided using search filters and keyword analytics. For example, Meek Mill's partnership with Puma and the Clyde Court #Reform sneakers garnered 12,500 story results via Google News. Alternatively, Mill's push for the passing of House Bill 1925 received 201,000 story results. Both actions reflect how Meek Mill has used his platform to shed light on outdated legislation and the need for criminal justice reform.
There are an estimated 4.5 million Americans on probation or parole. These are people who might get incarcerated over minor technical violations or misdemeanors like unpaid traffic tickets. It's safe to assume that the majority of these individuals lack the same type of resources or networks Meek Mill has access to. And that is exactly why his cultural impact extends beyond music or any other creative endeavor. In an interview with The Breakfast Club, Meek pointed out how certain laws can work against those genuinely looking for a second chance or fresh start. "There's a lot of the people on bail—with $100 bails, people on probation for long periods of time that don't need to be on probation for 15 years for crimes that don't even hold that much time. So we're just working hard and trying to make change." According to the latest annual report, Philadelphia's Courts have made $326.5 million in revenue. Of that amount, $41.3 million represent bail fees.

Technically, Meek Mill remains on probation until 2023. He was released from prison last year after it was proven that the officer who initially arrested Meek (and acted as a witness in court) could not be considered credible. Through the REFORM Alliance, (the organization Meek Mill co-founded alongside Michael Rubin, Jay-Z, Robert Kraft, and other key business leaders), he has pledged to help one million people on probation or parole. On the Championships track, "What's Free?" featuring Jay-Z and Rick Ross, (which samples the Notorious B.I.G. classic "What's Beef?") Meek Mill spits, "Tryna fix the system and the way that they designed it. I think they want me silenced… Oh, say you can see, I don't feel like I'm free." For Robert Rihmeek Williams, born the same day the Civil Rights Act of 1960 was signed into law, winning is always nice. However, the ultimate goal is and always has been freedom.
