Can the Church Tell the Truth?
(Trigger warning: this article references general cases of abuse in the Church and in society.)
"Do you feel your most authentic self in church?" This is a question I like asking Christian groups to gauge the level of authenticity and honesty within their church community. The answer is almost always a resounding: "No!" One time I did this exercise with a church and even the pastor admitted he didn't feel his most authentic self in church. Many people said they felt like people in church are "fake" or "judgmental." I felt sad that many people did not feel like they could show their weakness, be open about their struggles, or tell the truth about what was really going on in their lives.
Even more disturbing is the fact that many churches are silent when injustice and abuse occur. I recently saw Spotlight, a movie based on the true story of the Boston Globe's breaking news story on widespread abuse and cover-up in the Catholic Church. Watching this movie and reflecting on my own experience growing up in the church made me wonder, can the Church tell the truth?
As people who claim to have "the truth," why can't we tell the truth? How come the truth we ardently defend (ie., our interpretation of the truth) is often detached from the reality of human experience? We fight over our views on the inerrancy of Scripture yet we don't fight for black and brown lives when they are being killed by police in the streets. We vehemently defend 2,000 year old cultural mores yet stay silent when LGBTQ youth are bullied, kicked out of their Christian homes, or commit suicide at heartbreaking rates. We insist on our doctrines of eternal damnation but don't do anything about the earthly hells that our nation's policies have created (poverty, racism, war, third world debt, mass incarceration, economic exploitation, environmental pollution, etc). We cross land and sea to spread the truth of the gospel but we can't speak up for victims of abuse in our own families and congregations.
While no social system or network is immune to human brokenness and abuse, it's particularly insidious when people in positions of religious power - who are entrusted to "shepherd the flock" - perpetrate abuse, fail to report it, or stay silent in the midst of it. This may not seem fair to single out the Church or hold the Church to a higher standard of scrutiny than the rest of the world, but when Churches claim to own the market on truth, they open themselves up to it. Lest we forget that Christ's strongest words of judgment came to those who would cause harm to children.
But before we cast the stones, we have to realize we are all complicit. A powerful line in the movie Spotlight was when one of the characters said, "If it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a village to abuse a child." Catholic priests, high ranking church leaders, attorneys, reporters, and even parents of victims helped suppress the truth of the abuse scandal. Truth is, we are all guilty when we protect the powerful over the powerless, when we don't believe the victim because it would tarnish the reputation of our religious, political, and sports heroes, or when we stay silent because we don't want to be put in the uncomfortable position to confront someone in power.
An important thing to remember is that silence always aids the abuser. As Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Laureate and Holocaust survivor, so eloquently stated, "We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe."
This is why I support protest movements. They 1) bring to light the reality (truth) of an injustice or abuse, 2) encourage victims to reclaim their voice and not feel alone, and 3) hold those in power accountable. And if there's anything we can learn from the Catholic Church abuse scandal or the rampant police brutality cases across our country is that people need accountability. The more comfortable we get in speaking out the better our chances of preventing something from happening again. The more truth we speak into the world the better the world becomes for ourselves and future generations.
I love the Church and don't want to see the Church lose (more) credibility in the world. But this will require (re)capturing our prophetic voice. Bayard Rustin, civil rights activist, said "the role of a religious group is to speak truth to power." We may see the Church's role as more than this, but it must never be less. The prophets and the early community Christ formed certainly exhibited this kind of truth-telling and courage in the face of violence, death, and empire. Many of the Church martyrs were killed for telling the truth (pointing out corruption, injustice, evil) not simply for holding contrary spiritual beliefs. It is challenging for a Church married to the comfort, security, and privileges of empire to call out the empire. But we risk our credibility (and possibly our souls) if we don't.
I am hopeful that churches can learn to tell the truth but I know it will take work and practice. It's taken me almost 40 years to learn how and I still find myself reluctant to speak up in certain situations. But as I've gotten to know so many brave survivors of abuse and seen the firsthand effects of injustice on my neighbors and friends, I'm committed to practicing truth-telling even when it's risky and uncomfortable. Here are some ways we, the Church body, can practice telling the truth and possibly save our own souls in the process:
Own our history. We have to acknowledge ways the Church and Christian theologies have been complicit with evil (ie., The Inquisition, Colonialism, Native American Genocide, Slavery, Catholic Church abuse scandal, reparative theory, the list sadly goes on). We might think that denying or shielding people from the dark side of religion and Christianity will do less harm for believers or potential believers but when we hide or deny past abuse or injustice it only stains the witness of the church. Being honest about our history and exposing abuse, corruption and injustice helps us root out evil from our faith.
Make sure truth trumps religion. We have to be more committed to truth than to religion. When we are more committed to religion than truth then we can end up rejecting reality because it doesn't align with our religious beliefs and act out in error (think the executors of Galileo or doubters of Climate Change). Put another way, if our religion is not committed to truth then it's not worth believing. Standing on the side of truth means standing against oppression in all its forms. We, as humans and as Christians, will never agree on all theological truth claims, but we can agree that abusing children or remaining silent in the face of dehumanization and violence is absolutely wrong. If our religion is not truthful regarding the physical world then any truth claims we make regarding the spiritual world will (should) be seriously called into question.
Confess and repent of ways we have been complicit in standing by when abuse and injustice happen. Confession is a beautiful Christian practice that allows us to practice telling the truth on a regular basis. Repentance, or turning in the other direction, allows us to express our commitment to change by taking tangible action and seeking appropriate restitution. When we practice confession and repentance we create authentic and courageous spaces where transformation is possible.
Name abuse and injustice when it happens in society, in our families, and in our churches. Simply speaking out what is happening helps break the silence and lets victims know they aren't alone. It is especially important for pastors to acknowledge these specific societal sins from the pulpit in addition to the general personal ones.
Provide spaces for people to speak the truth and find healing from past trauma. Create a culture in your church for people to be honest and acknowledge the crap that happens ("we all have baggage to deal with, it's ok to be upset, what happens to us doesn't define who we are or what we can be"). Instead of heaping condemnation on people going through divorce or depression, help them find resources and support to find what's healthiest for them (know the difference between pastoral counseling, which is great for spiritual questions and emotional support, and counseling with a professional mental health provider who can better diagnose and treat mental health issues, childhood trauma, and root causes. We also need sex offender trainings and counseling for abusers). We need to destigmatize counseling and refer people out when we as ministers are in over our heads. For those involved in activism (or ministry) it's important that we address our own woundedness while we are fighting for others. I have noticed that many justice activists have a personal experience of feeling powerless that fuels their drive to protest social injustice. Take time to explore your own wounds and provide spaces for others to experience healing from their past.
Stand with victims of abuse. When the Church stands with those in power rather than those who are marginalized we often find ourselves standing on the wrong side of history. When we stand with survivors and hear their stories we can better understand and unmask the dynamics of power that keep people silenced in fear and intimidation. Scripture gives witness to a God who calls out oppression and stands with victims of abuse and injustice. The Church would do well to follow God's lead.
Do not stay silent. Silence emboldens abusers. While it's incredibly hard to break the silence and confront power, it's a spiritual discipline we desperately need to develop. Speak up, speak out, speak often. Practice speaking up for yourself and for others. Develop policies for reporting abuse. Create a culture of accountability in your family and church. Do not shield abusers no matter who they are.
Learn to see systemically and not just individually. At one point the Boston Globe reporters thought it was just a few bad apples doing the abusing, but they ended up uncovering a large system of abuse and organizational cover up (they found 6% of priests nationwide and 249 priests in Boston alone had been perpetrators of abuse along with organizational practices of reassigning abusive priests to other parishes). It was systemic. We'd like to believe injustice and abuse are just a few bad apples, but the truth is, good people do bad things inside a bad system. Sometimes it's a few bad apples and sometimes it's a contaminated barrel spoiling the whole bunch. Evil prospers when there's little or no accountability (for more on the psychology of evil check out Philip Zimbardo's Ted Talk).
Remember, truth-telling is central to the Church's prophetic witness. If the church cannot tell the truth then we forfeit our credibility and witness in the world. Instead of defending abstract beliefs, I think a better place to start is by defending actual people. Pope Francis said it well, "we do not serve ideas, we serve people." In 1 John 4, we are reminded that loving our brothers and sisters who we can see is the starting point and prerequisite for loving a God we can't see. Instead of equating truth solely with our personal religious beliefs, I think we'd do better connecting truth with reality. In other words, before we push our truth claims out to the world we have to first commit to being truthful and honest about what is happening in the world.

Chicago Would Be Even More of a Disaster if It Had Been Awarded the 2016 Olympics
The city is still paying the tab for the bid-but it could have been much worse.
Back in October 2009 there were plenty of reasons to think the Olympic torch would be lit in Chicago this summer. Instead, on Friday night, the flame will be lit in Rio de Janerio.
Chicago, and the rest of America, should breath a sigh of relief.
Chicago's bid for the 2016 seemingly had everything. It had money, as the city promised to spend $4.8 billion for the Olympics, with a good chunk of that total going to build or upgrade sporting venues.
It had timing, as it would have been the first American city to host the Summer Games since Atlanta in 1996 and the first Olympics of any kind since Salt Lake City hosted the winter version in 2002 (since World War Two ended, America had never gone more than 20 years without hosting the Olympics).
It had star power, as three of the city's most famous residents—President Barack Obama, basketball star Michael Jordan and talk show host turned business mogul Oprah Winfrey—lent their vocal support to the effort. Obama even traveled to Copenhagen, where the final vote took place, to lobby for his adopted hometown.
Up against Madrid, Rio, and Toyko in the final round of bidding, Chicago appeared to be a strong contender, if not the favorite.
Then, stunningly, Chicago was ousted in the first round of voting, getting just 18 of the 94 votes and finishing dead last in the four city field. Not even good enough for the bronze medal.
"This was the most frustrating defeat in Chicago's recent sports history," wrote Chicago Tribune columnist David Haugh, at the time.
This week, Haugh admits he was wrong about that assessment. That frustrating defeat was actually "the day the IOC saved Chicago from itself," he says.
"As bad as things seem in a city already fighting violence and the financial collapse of its government and school system, consider how much worse things would be if officials were distracted by hosting an international event as gargantuan as the Games," Haugh writes. "The Olympics likely would have added to the disrepair more than made it easier to fix."
More cities should learn from Chicago's experience. In fact, it seems like some are.
When city officials in Boston and the heads of the American Olympic Committee backed a bid for the Massachusetts capital to host the 2024 Olympics, it faced popular opposition unseen since residents of Denver voted to kill the city's winning bid to host the 1976 Winter Games. Boston's plan for the Olympics would have cost taxpayers a mere $2.7 billion, though independent analyses suggested the price tag would be north of $15 billion and maybe as much as $28 billion
Facing growing public opposition, Boston cancelled its bid last year.
Other cities haven't learned yet. Los Angeles quickly swept in to replace Boston as the U.S. bidder for the 2024 games, where it is now seen as a favorite in a four-way contest that includes Budapest, Paris and Rome.
Los Angeles does have one thing going for it. Of the 17 Summer Olympics held since the end of the Second World War, only the 1984 event in Los Angeles turned a profit, The Economist reported this week, citing research by David Goldblatt, author of The Games: A Global History of the Olympics.
One could argue that the Olympic Games aren't really meant to turn a profit, so that might be a flawed standard for measuring their success. But the Games have become staggering economic disasters for recent hosts. The 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens cost the Greek government $16 billion. As with Chicago's lost bid, hindsight makes it clear that Greece never should have hosted the Olympics, history and tradition be damned.
Athens can take some small comfort in knowing that it's hardly alone. Jim Pagels has a rundown of the ignominious fates that befell Olympic host cities—and the lavish stadiums built for the Games—in the most recent edition of Reason.
You don't even need to wait a decade to reassess the wisdom of Rio de Janerio's bid for the Games. The city planned to spend $18 billion for the Olympics, but already needed an $850 million federal bailout just to get everything ready in time. There are concerns about rising crime, unfinished facilities, unclean water and Zika. Brazil's president has been impeached after allegedly manipulating the country's budget to hide bad news (don't forget: Brazil spent an estimated $13 billion to host the World Cup just two years ago).
Still, if Rio survives the next two weeks without a major security incident and without too many athletes getting sick from the fetid water, we'll be told the Games were a success. But if Rio hadn't staged the Olympics, those $18 billion could have been used to improve the lives of the people who live there, rather than paying for the world's most expensive sporting event.
Even without winning its bid, Chicago is still paying for the 2016 Olympics. Chicago's ABC affiliate reported this week that the city has paid $91 million over the past 10 years for the site of a former hospital which was bought as part of the bidding process and was supposed to serve as the athletes' living quarters.
The city will be paying off that purchase until 2024.
"I hope we can learn from these mega-projects and, regardless of what happens to the Olympic movement, stop throwing money into all these concrete-driven mega projects that rob the poor and give money to the rich," Tom Tresser, organizer of "No Games Chicago," told ABC-7.
That's unlikely, though skepticism about hosting the Olympics is growing.
Still, in Chicago's case, it could have been much worse.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your blood after you donate it? How is it tested? Where does it go? And who gets it?
Barbara Russell, a supervisor for Canadian Blood Services (CBS), has the answers. As the manager of a clinic that collects blood for GTA hospitals, she counts on campaigns like the upcoming Inter-hospital Blood Drive Challenge to get people through the door to donate.
How much blood does Canada need?
Every year, 980,000 units of blood are used in hospitals across the country. That's more than 2,300 units every day.
UHN alone used more than 33,000 units last year, enough to fill a backyard swimming pool. To treat one car crash victim, doctors require as much as 50 units – equivalent to five times the total amount of blood in one person.
On any given day, CBS knows exactly how many units of blood it has on hand, and how much it needs to collect. Normally, there is about a four day supply of all blood types on hand, but the summer is very difficult because fewer people donate on long weekends.
Work at the blood bank only begins after the needle comes out and the donor leaves. Russell says most people don't know how complicated it is to get blood from donors to patients quickly and safely.
Blood travel – from start to finish
There are two steps involved in getting blood from donors to recipients. First, blood clinics screen donors and collect the blood. Then, the blood is sent for testing, processing and distribution to hospitals.
Step one: Donation
Once the needle is placed in a donor's arm, it connects to a bag resting on a scale. The scale automatically stops the blood transfer as soon as the bag reaches 485 ml, which usually takes six to eight minutes. While the bag fills, the scale rocks it back and forth continuously, mixing it with an anticoagulant to keep the blood from clotting.
When the bag is full, a small vial is removed for testing, and both the bag and vial are given a barcode to identify which donor the blood came from.
"The barcode can be used to track every unit of blood from the time it leaves a donor's arm, to the time it enters the recipient's," said Russell. "This way, if there was ever an issue with the blood, we can quickly locate and remove it." This means that if a donor feels fine when they give blood but gets sick the next day, they can inform CBS and have the donation flagged.
After the blood is labelled, CBS volunteers transfer the bag to a small cooler about the size of a case of pop. The cooler also contains a thermometer that monitors the temperature from when the blood goes in until it comes out. Once the blood arrives at CBS's production facility, the temperature in the cooler must have dropped for the blood to be usable.
When the clinic closes for the day, FedEx picks up the coolers and transports them to the Brampton production facility which services Toronto, Hamilton and London.
Step two: Processing
In Toronto, all donations are sent to CBS's new Brampton production facility. Opened in 2011, the 127,000 sq. ft. facility is 20 per cent larger than an average Wal-Mart supercentre, and replaces production and distribution facilities in Toronto, Hamilton and London.
On an average day, the facility's 400 staff members supply 1600 units of blood to hospitals across the GTA. Its location near the airport makes it possible to quickly ship rare blood products all across the country to wherever they are needed.
After it arrives, the blood is placed into a centrifuge, which spins the blood at high-speed to separate it into its three components: red cells, platelets and plasma.
While the blood is being processed, a small sample gets tested for diseases transmitted through the blood like AIDS, hepatitis and West Nile Virus to make sure it is safe.
The processed red blood cells are then sorted by blood group (A, AB, B and O) and ready to ship to hospitals.

To Those Who Question the Validity of My Mental Illness
To the people who question the reality of mental illness,
I would like you to understand how I live my life day to day. My mental illness interferes with every aspect of my life. I wake up, and I am immediately overwhelmed with thoughts.
Thoughts of:
"Who died while I was asleep?"
"Is everyone OK?"
"What time is it? Did I miss the whole day?"
"Am I late for some unknown appointment?"
In between these fun thoughts (dripping with sarcasm), I am realizing I do not have enough energy to get out of bed. I slept for 13 hours last night and I am so exhausted — all of this thinking has already worn me out. I then spend the next hour or two in my bed on my phone, trying to convince myself to stay in bed while another part of me is trying to convince myself to get up.
I spend this whole time, and sometimes even longer, trying to avoid the ache in my stomach that urges me to eat and the constant pressure in my bladder from too much to drink. I will stay in my bed until I cannot handle the pain of them anymore. Once I get out of bed, I put on the bare minimum amount of clothes. I go to the bathroom, the whole time trying to convince myself to assuage the pain in my stomach. I ultimately decide not to eat. This way I can go back and cower in my room.
I spend many more hours there, sitting in my bed binge-watching Netflix. I finally cannot handle the pain in my stomach anymore. So I eat. I eat a lot of food, and it is junk food, pizza or pizza rolls usually.
After this, it is already about 2 p.m. I tell myself I have to get something done today. So I put in a load of laundry. It usually takes me hours to work up the strength to do it. I complete one load of laundry. I feel as though I ran a marathon.
After the laundry, I have no energy left to do anything else. I have no energy to cook dinner, but I know my fiance deserves it to be ready for him. So my mind starts up on, "You are not good enough for him," "Keep treating him like this and he will leave you," "You are a failure," "All you could do was a load of laundry," "You are disgusting," "You need to get a hold of yourself" and so on.
All through the day, my mind is making me feel bad about doing nothing, for slacking in my responsibilities. All the while taking all of the energy I need for doing those tasks away from me. Finally, I feed us. I do not know how I do it.
After dinner, my fiance has to convince me I am not a failure, and even though it may seem like it to me, there is nothing wrong with me. My fiance saves me each day. He wakes me from these thoughts. I have tried everything to get them out of my head.
I learned how to knit, and I am learning how to crochet. I do word searches, and I play solitaire, all while watching TV or doing a few other tasks. I need to have at least two things happening in front of me to keep out of my own head.
I have not yet found a way to control these thoughts no matter how hard I try. Before bed, I take my pills, one for the depression and anxiety, one for the heartburn the anxiety causes and one allergy pill to try to prevent a migraine in the middle of the night. We lie down for sleep, and my fiance is asleep within minutes. Whereas, I will stay awake for many more hours, stuck in my head and using every available distraction to keep me from hurting myself or from having a panic attack.
I usually decide that if I keep this up I will wake him, and he will hate me. So I leave the room. I stay awake for hours by myself stuck inside of my own head. There is no escape.
To those who still think I am just lazy and have little willpower, there is nothing more I would like in the world than to be the perfect woman, perfect fiance and perfect daughter for everyone. I work so hard every day just to achieve the most minuscule of tasks.
So when I get something done, lay off. I know you could have done more, but this is an achievement for me! This is something I should feel proud of. I know you do not understand how this all works and neither do I. All I know is that it is not up to me. I do not get to will it away. My mental illness is valid.

CHRISTMAS DAY WILL bring the 130th anniversary when the first spirit fell from the copper stills of William Grant & Sons in Dufftown.
Today they remain family owned by the fifth-generation stemming from William Grant and his nine children who first built the Glenfiddich Distillery stone-by-stone.
Through the years the company has remained independent – and become a central part of the local community and firmly embedded in the town's history. WG&S UK has been very active in that community, remaining as a responsible, proud, sustainable and entrepreneurial company.
This has been achieved by supporting charities such as CrossReach and the Dufftown British Legion, or supporting the Speyside Community Car Share Scheme. It is also committed to supporting future generations through its donations to Mortlach Primary School, Moray School Bank and Generation Science workshops in Moray.
To this day, founder William Grant's ambition to create 'The Best Dram in the Valley' inspires the company and his passion lives on as the business continues to pioneer and innovate, gaining industry-wide recognition for its practices. For example, Glenfiddich and its title of World's Most Awarded single malt whisky.
Other brands within the premium spirits portfolio include The Balvenie single malt whisky, Hendrick's gin, Monkey Shoulder, Sailor Jerry spiced rum, Drambuie, Reyka vodka, and Grant's blended whisky.
Whilst remaining true to its heritage, its ambitious plans for the future and its dedication to its employees manifests itself within the company's purpose:
Inspired by our independent spirit, we create our own legacy. Managing Director, Neil Barker says: "At WG&S UK we are proud of our history, which has, together with our collective ambition and excellent people, propelled us to take the title of No.1 premium spirits supplier in the UK.
"William Grant began our incredible journey by laying down roots in Dufftown. We now raise a dram, as we celebrate the first spirit to fall from our stills. Cheers to another 130 years!"
William Grant & Sons timeline of events:

This is a feature that Samsung introduced with Android Pie/OneUI, and it's extremely useful: If your phone or tablet is connected to your home or office's Wi-Fi network, a friend or family can connect to it as well by simply scanning a QR code displayed on your device.
No, this feature doesn't let you keep your Wi-Fi password a secret. It only makes the process of connecting to a secured Wi-Fi network. A little more convenient by removing the need to manually enter the password. Whoever scans the QR code on your device will be able to see what the password is. After the code has been detected, at least on Galaxy devices.
And if whoever you're sharing the network with has a recent Galaxy smartphone (or any flagship Galaxy phone from the last two years) running Android Pie, they only need to point their phone's camera at the QR code to scan it thanks to the QR scanner feature Samsung has introduced to its devices with software updates. Third-party code apps work just as well, of course, and you can also share your Wi-Fi network through the code with your iPhone-owing friends.

Once we are in a room filled with strangers we scan the room broadly and our eyes transfer side-to-aspect but as quickly as we see someone attractive, our eyes transfer up-to-down. For those who like a person, try focusing on their gaze. Paying close attention pays off. The more we like someone the larger the drop in our gaze therefore the more time we take to take a look at them. This is a good way of identifying if the date goes properly. If an individual seems to be at you from head-to-toe in a room full of individuals, there is positively some attraction involved.

AMBER TWP. — William Jackson Marble, 68, was the man shot and killed by a Michigan State Police trooper Tuesday night. The shooting occurred around 11 p.m. at 1221 N. Dennis Rd., near the intersection Hansen Road. The trooper was responding to a 911 hang-up call at that address.
According to 1st Lt. Kevin Leavitt, commanding officer of the Hart MSP post, as the trooper was contacting a female occupant of the residence, Marble appeared and confronted the trooper with a weapon.
The trooper then fired one shot, striking Marble in the chest. Marble was transported to Spectrum Health Ludington Hospital by Life EMS ambulance where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Leavitt said state police personnel are required to follow strict guidelines in the discharge of weapons. "MSP policy permits officers to point or discharge a firearm in self-defense or defense of another when he or she reasonably believes there is imminent danger of death or great bodily harm," Leavitt said.
Troopers were assisted at the scene by the Mason County Sheriff's Department, Ludington Police Department, Scottville Police Department and Life EMS.

Dennis Kucinich says if elected Ohio governor, he'd use the office's power to end the drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
Speaking to reporters in a downtown Columbus hotel on Thursday, the Democratic candidate called it the first major policy announcement of his campaign.
When asked how he would work on the issue with a legislature that's largely seen as pro-drilling, Kucinich said the Ohio Constitution clearly gives the governor authority to direct the Department of Natural Resources to stop issuing drilling permits.
"No longer will the industry be able to hide behind the false label of proprietary to experiment with toxic chemicals and biocides and use them without traceability and responsibility for the health and environmental impacts on the state of Ohio," Kucinich said.
The majority of the Thursday press conference focused on fracking, but when talking with reporters afterward, Kucinich went a step further and said it's his goal to end all kinds of oil and gas drilling in Ohio.
"Yes, that's absolutely correct," he said.
Appearing alongside Kucinich, was his running mate, Akron City Council member Tara Samples.
"This is about environmental justice and poor people being taken advantage of," Samples said.
Fracking has for years been a contentious issue in Ohio. The drilling technique that uses chemical-laden water to blast through underground shale rock and free up natural gas deposits has been linked to water and air pollution.
Some fracking wastewater storage wells have also been considered to be a contributing factor in some earthquakes in Northeast Ohio.
Fracking has also created many good-paying jobs in economically-depressed regions of Appalachia, including eastern Ohio. Kucinich said clean energy jobs would take the place of fracking jobs, but didn't provide much more detail.

What is TCP and how TCP works?
What is the TCP protocol?
TCP is been used for communication among devices on the network. It stands for Transmission Control Protocol. It is used to create a connection between the client and the server. It works by breaking the data into small packets which can be transferred through network activity.
The connection control of TCP includes three handshakes and four waves.
The segment is a navigation routing function for the entire TCP/IP protocol. The packet segment refers to the IP data packets in the TCP/IP protocol network transmission, which use route navigation, query each network route segment, IP address, exchange protocol, and so on.
- SYN:Synchronize sequence numbers
- ACK:Acknowledgment field significant
- Seq:Sequence number
- Ack:Acknowledgment number
Three way handshakes process
One of the essential features of TCP is connection-oriented. Therefore, before sending data, both parties must go through a handshake to ensure that the entire data transmission is error-free before the two parties can successfully establish the connection.
The first handshake
The client sends segment 1 to the server, where the SYN flag indicates that this is a segment for requesting a connection. In addition, its Sequence Number field (abbreviated as seq in the figure) is set to initial sequence number x (Initial Sequence Number, ISN), and both parties in the TCP connection can randomly select the initial sequence number.
After sending segment 1, the client enters the SYN-SENT state and waits for confirmation from the server.
The second handshake
After receiving the connection request from the client, the server sends segment 2 to the client as a response.
The ACK flag is set to 1, indicating that it responds to the client, and its acknowledgment number field (Acknowledgment Number, abbreviated as lowercase ack) will take effect.
The value of this field is x + 1, which is the sequence number of the segment received from the client plus one, which represents the sequence number of the data the server expects to receive from the client next time.
In addition, the SYN flag of segment 2 is also set to 1, which means that this is also a segment used to initiate a connection, and the sequence number seq is set to the server's initial sequence number y.
After sending segment 2, the server enters the SYN-RECEIVED state.
The third handshake
After receiving segment 2, the client sends segment 3 to the server, and its ACK flag is 1, which means it responds to the server, confirming that the sequence number field ack is y + 1, and the sequence number field seq is x + 1. After this segment sent, both parties enter the ESTABLISHED state, indicating that the connection has been established.
Judging the connection status by the display status of the client and server.
- The client and the server belong to the closed state, indicating no connection relationship.
- The client sends a request, the client opens the sending (SYN-sent) state, and the server opens the listening (Listen) state;
- When the server receives the client's request, the server switches to the reply (SYN-recvd) state;
- When the client receives the response from the server, the client switches to the stable connection (Estab-lished) state and sends the second data packet simultaneously.
- When the server receives the second data from the client, the server switches to a stable connection (Estab-lished) state.
- After the two parties establish a stable connection, it's time to begin regular data communication.
How do the three handshakes work?
The three-way handshake allows both parties to confirm that the sending and receiving capabilities of themselves and the other party as process:
The first handshake: the client sends the request segment, and nothing can be confirmed, while the server can ensure that its receiving ability and the other party's transmitting ability are standard.
The second handshake: The client can confirm that its sending and receiving capabilities are standard, and the other party's sending and receiving capabilities are standard.
The third handshake: the server can confirm that its sending and receiving capabilities are standard, and the other party's sending and receiving capabilities are standard.
The three-way handshake can allow both parties to confirm that the sending and receiving capabilities of themselves and the other party are all standards so they can communicate.
How do the four waves work?
Establishing a connection requires three handshakes, and terminating a connection requires four waves.
The detailed process of waving four times
1. The client sends a connection closing segment, requesting to close the connection and stop sending data. Next, the sequence number field seq = x (equal to the sequence number of the last byte of all previously sent data plus one), then the client will enter the FIN-WAIT-1 state, waiting for an acknowledgment message from the server.
2. The server receives the FIN segment, it sends back a confirmation message, ACK = 1, ack = x + 1, and brings its sequence number seq = y, then the server enters the CLOSE-WAIT state.
3. The client enters the FIN-WAIT-2 state immediately after receiving the ACK segment from the server and can still receive data seq=z from the server until the FIN segment is received.
4. Then the server has sent all the data, it will send a FIN segment to the client, and then the server will enter the LAST-ACK state, waiting for an acknowledgment segment from the client.
5. After the client receives the FIN segment from the server, it sends an ACK message to the server and then enters the TIME-WAIT state.
6. The server will enter the CLOSED state immediately after receiving the ACK message from the client and will terminate the connection at this time. In general, the server enters the CLOSED state earlier than the client cause there is no waiting time.
In short, whether it is a 3-way handshake or a 4-way wave, TCP protocol needs to obtain information confirmation from both parties to establish the connection or disconnection.
Why does TCP close the connection four times instead of three?
After receiving the FIN packet segment from the client, the server may still have some data to transmit. Therefore, the server cannot close the connection immediately. Instead, it will respond with an ACK packet segment and may continue to send data.
The client does not respond until the server sends a FIN packet segment to the client, indicating that all data is sent. The server requests to close the connection. Therefore, a total of four waves are required.
What security issues occur during the TCP connection?
In the three-way handshake process, after the server sends SYN-ACK, the TCP connection before receiving the ACK from the client is called a half-open connection. At this time, the server is in the SYN_RCVD state. When an ACK is received, the server can move to the ESTABLISHED state.
SYN attack means that the attacking client forges a large number of non-existing IP addresses in a short period, continuously sends SYN packets to the server, and the server replies with the confirmation packet, and waits for the confirmation of the client.
Since the source address does not exist, the server needs to retransmit continuously until it times out. As a result, these forged SYN packets will occupy the unconnected queue for a long time, and regular SYN requests will be discarded.
In severe cases, it will cause network congestion or even system crashes. An SYN attack is a typical DoS/DDoS attack. Click to learn more about DoS/DDoS attacks.

Fishing is a popular hobby of people all around the world. Professional fishers are also involved in fishing. A fishing net is an essential and must-have gear for fishers to perform fishing. Fishers commonly use several types of fishing nets based on the comfort and preference of the fishers. The fishing net generally varies in its design, configuration and the type of fish targeted. Here we would discuss the various types of fishing nets widely used all around the world.
Gillnets and Entanglements Nets
This type of fishing net is mainly used in inshore and offshore waters. They are used for fishing in rivers and estuaries. They are made up of a panel of nets connected with the seabed. There are jurisdiction restrictions on the size of the net length and mesh size. These two factors determine the type of fish captured.
Know More About : Things To Know About The Working Of Fishing Net
The following are the types of gillnets.
Pelagic gillnets: This fishing net is also called drift nets. It is used to trap tropical sharks and mackerels. Drift nets are made by tieing the net panels together. One end of the net remains attached to the boat.
Demersal gillnets: It is also called the bottom set gillnets is mainly used for trapping gummy sharks and finfish type of fishes. They are used for fishing on the seafloor. This fishing net does not remain attached to the vessel.
Coastal, estuary and river set gillnets: This type of fishing net comes with a headline which is tied in a tree or other objects located above the high-water mark. The dinghies in the net are used for setting directions and range based on the tide.
Surrounding Nets
This type of fishing net is used for capturing pelagic fish. The nets are constructed such that the fish cannot escape out of the net.
Purse Seine Nets: This type of fish is used for trapping schooling pelagic fish species. Purse rings are attached to the footrope of the surrounding nets, which is arranged at regular intervals using a rope or chain. The bottom of the net can be closed by pulling the lines of the purse lines.
Seine Nets
This type of net is negatively buoyant and consists of two long wings. Fishes generally try to swim in front when it comes in contact with a moving object. This type of net is constructed based on the above principle.
This is a commercial fishing method which is widespread across the globe. Trawling can be done in different ranges and depths of water. The trawl type of fishing net is of complex design. Some of the key components of trawls and its features are listed below.
Warps: These are the wire ropes which are attached to the trawls boards. Warps are placed in the winch drums so that it is easy to operate the trawls.
Trawl Boards: They act as hydrodynamic kites so that it keeps the net open. This component offers the required weight to the trawl so that the desired depth is reached.
Backstrops: These are wires and chains used for connecting trawl boards with sweeps.
Ground Gear: These are short wire chain droppers for connecting with footrope. The ground gear avoids damage through snagging.
Body Panels: This makes the body of the trawl and includes upper and lower sections.
Codend: This is the last part of the fishing net where the fish are trapped. It is of the smallest mesh size, and it decides the size of the fish. A quick-release knot is attached to the end of the codend so that the fish can be emptied easily.
The following are the types of trawls.
Beam Trawls: This is a simple trawl that can be used by small-sized boats. It is mainly used in lakes and estuaries. It is made up of two steel endplates, and the vertical opening of the net is based on its height. Its headline determines the horizontal opening of the net.
Demersal Trawls: This type of trawls are used for otter trawling. Prawns live in burrows on the ocean floor. Thus to prevent escapes, a ground chain is used in Demersal trawls. Demersal otter trawls look similar to fish trawl. They are made up of small-sized mesh in their body panels and codend.
Midwater Trawls: This is similar to demersal trawl nets, but it is of lighter weight with a largemouth.

The article discusses the theory and methods of simulation training, its significance in the context of training specialists for areas where the lack of primary qualification is critical. The most widespread hardware and software solutions for the organization welders' simulation training that use VR- and AR- technologies have been analyzed. A review of the technological infrastructure and software tools for the virtual teaching-and-production laboratory of electric welding has been made on the example of the achievements of Fronius, MIMBUS, Seabery. The features of creating a virtual simulation of the welding process using modern equipment based on studies of the behavioral reactions of the welder have been shown. It is found the simulators allow not only training, but also one can build neuro-fuzzy logic and design automated and robotized welding systems. The functioning peculiarities of welding's simulators with AR have been revealed. It is shown they make it possible to ensure the forming basic qualities of a future specialist, such as concentration, accuracy and agility. The psychological and technical aspects of the coaching programs for the training and retraining of qualified welders have been illustrated. The conclusions about the significant advantages of VR- and AR-technologies in comparison with traditional ones have been made. Possible directions of the development of simulation training for welders have been revealed. Among them the AR-technologies have been presented as such that gaining wide popularity as allow to realize the idea of mass training in basic professional skills.

January is a great time to create your goals for the year when it comes to your work and career. Here are the top ten ideas on how to manage your membership career effectively in 2019:
Look for opportunities in your current role
Think about your current role and the business plan for your organisation. What projects and activities are coming up this year that you could get involved with and add some useful skills or experience to your CV?
Read job descriptions for your next 'perfect membership focused role'
Get hold of job descriptions for the role that you would like to have after your current role. This will give you an insight into the skills and experiences required so you can see how many need to be developed in your current role before you move on.
TIP: Take a look at MemberWise Jobs for a selection of member facing job descriptions to get you started – www.membershipjobs.com
Plan for your next annual appraisal
Hopefully you work for an employer that gives you an annual appraisal or performance review. Dig out the date and the KPIs that you agreed to work on and remember to make a note of your progress and successes throughout the year as you will forget them!
TIP: Make sure you save any thank you messages or outstanding performance mentions throughout the year!
Get mentoring
Mentoring is a great way to get advice from someone that is more experienced. Get yourself a mentor that is ahead of you in their membership career that DOESN'T work for your current employer. If you are experienced yourself, consider mentoring someone younger that is just starting out in their membership career.
TIP: The MemberWise Connect Community regularly features requests for Mentors and Mentees, so ensure you are registered and/or post a request today! https://connect.memberwise.org.uk/
Develop a coaching mindset
Mentoring is different from coaching. Mentoring is given with the benefit of experience whereas coaching is a way of framing questions to get someone to solve their own problems and challenges. Done correctly it is a very powerful way of developing yourself.
Do a course or qualification
Don't forget that learning never ends. What courses and qualifications would be useful in developing skills that will benefit your career? Your employer may not pay towards these courses so you need to shop around to get good quality at a reasonable price.
TIP: If you feel you have a wealth of unrecognized membership focused experience consider applying for Fellowship of the Society of Association and Membership Professionals (SAMP) – http://samp.org.uk/fellowship
Network on MemberWise Connect and LinkedIn
Create a profile on MemberWise Connect/LinkedIn and keep it up to date whenever you change jobs. This is now a very popular way for recruitment agencies to head hunt individuals so you need to be in it to win it! It's also useful to connect to other membership professionals to that you have a ready network of support and advice whenever you need it.
Attend key sector conferences and seminars to ensure you optimize your insight and knowledge
There is nothing better than gaining insight and hearing best practice direct. The opportunity to network with your peers is 'priceless' and will keep your thinking fresh.
TIP: Choose your events selectively and consider MemberWise Network events in the first instance. They are all targeted, educational in nature, provide clear learning objectives and rich in terms of practical insight. Our next national membership conference is Membership Excellence 2019 – See www.membershipexecellence.com
Become a membership focused subject expert in your own right
Your experiences, insight, challenges and solutions are worth talking about because your peers are almost certainly in a similar position. Perhaps you have taken a new or innovative approach that has delivered great results or you may wish to share an observation that you have recently made
TIP: Why not write a Guest Blog Article for the MemberWise Blog? You can showcase your expertise and share best practice all in one go! Contact firstname.lastname@example.com for further information.
Get some work life balance
As important as work is, it shouldn't be your entire world. Health and family should come first so make sure you plan to keep yourself as healthy and happy as possible outside your working life. You may also want to use this time for some short CPD activities.
