A majority of employees would like to have access to their wages before their scheduled payday, signaling that flexible pay is an attractive benefit for many workers, according to the findings of a survey conducted by the Workforce Institute at Kronos Incorporated.
The survey of 1,180 employed U.S. adults was conducted October 3-7, 2019. The aim of the survey was to gain a better understanding of how immediate access to earned wages, or on-demand pay, and financial wellness can support recruitment and retention. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of the workers surveyed said they would like to have access to their wages before their scheduled payday, but only 6% reported that they currently have such access.
The results also showed, however, that 57% of respondents said they would work harder and stay longer at a company that offers on-demand pay, and 51% reported that they consider on-demand pay a more attractive benefit than additional paid time off.
Broken down by industry, the survey found that 65% of retail workers, 61% of health care workers, and 54% of manufacturing/construction employees think they should not have to wait until their scheduled payday to access their earned wages. The findings also indicated that respondents with an annual household income of less than $50,000 were more likely than those with an annual household income of more than $50,000 to say they would like to have early access to their earned wages (87% vs. 67%).
When asked why they would like early access to their earned wages, 66% said they would use the money to cover bills, especially emergency expenses such as car repairs (32%) or unplanned medical care (19%). By contrast, relatively small shares of respondents said they want to access their wages early to pay for a night out (11%) or Black Friday/Cyber Monday/holiday shopping (10%), or to cover student loan repayments (6%).
In addition, 70% of the workers surveyed said they believe the five-day/40-hour pay period is outdated, including 72% of respondents in health care, 66% of those in retail, and 59% of those in manufacturing/construction.
The survey also asked employees what fees for accessing their wages before their scheduled payday they would consider reasonable. Around three-quarters of hourly (75%) and salaried (71%) respondents said they would be willing to pay a fee of up to $5 to access $50 of their wages early.
The findings further revealed that large shares of employees are under financial pressure, with 53% of respondents reporting that financial stress distracts them from their work. Broken down by age group, 67% of respondents aged 35-44, 65% of respondents aged 18-34, but just 39% of respondents aged 45+ indicated that financial stress distracts them from their work.

Why Are You Still Suffering From Pain and Inflammation When You Don't Have To - Get Targeted Pain And Inflammation Support With Our Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear Drops)
Do you stay up at night as you can not sleep due to the pain, stiffness, and swelling you are experiencing?
Do you take prescription medication and the only "relief" you ever feel is unwanted side effects?
Do you have trouble getting out of bed, getting dressed, or even walking?
Do you avoid getting out in the world due to your pain and inflammation?
Does your life revolve around your pain and inflammation condition?
Stop Suffering As Natural Pain And Inflammation Support Is Only A Click Away
Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear Drops) work hand in hand with the natural defenses of the human body fending off oxidation and free radicals both of which can lead to pain and inflammation!
What exactly is oxidation? Think of it as our insides rusting. For example, when you slice an apple open and leave it on the kitchen table the exposure to air "decays" the apple and turns it to a red or brown rusty color. This process is called oxidation, and it can cause serious damage to our bodies that the medical community calls Arthritis.
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints. It can affect one joint or multiple joints. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis, with different causes and treatment methods. Two of the most common types are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that we will talk about below.
The symptoms of arthritis usually develop over time, but they may also appear suddenly. Arthritis is most commonly seen in adults over the age of 65, but it can also develop in children, teens, and younger adults. Arthritis is more common in women than men and in people who are overweight.
What Is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative arthritis, is predominantly found in men and women over the age of 65. Osteoarthritis begins with cartilage breakdown. The cartilage covering the bones degenerates and gradually wears away; leaving sufferers with exposed bones that rub against each other, causing severe pain and discomfort as well as difficulty moving for many.
The most noticeable symptoms of osteoarthritis are joint pain, inflammation, and stiffness. All joints can be impacted by osteoarthritis, but the most common are the hips, feet, back, knees, and fingers. Those with arthritis problems in the hands and feet may find it difficult to walk without a limp and grasp items that are otherwise easy to pick up.
As with most types of arthritis, there is not just one cause for osteoarthritis. There are many contributing factors. These include body weight, previous injuries, and genes. Although osteoarthritis typically affects the elderly, athletes who repeatedly use the same joints and suffer damage are at an increased risk.
As for bodyweight, the joints and muscles surrounding them carry most of the body's weight; more weight applies more pressure. Although rare, some defects can lead to osteoarthritis. These include a lack of protein that makes up cartilage and the poor fitting of bones and joints.
The second type is rheumatoid arthritis, which affects over one million people in the United States. It doesn't discriminate, as it can affect people of all ages. There are three types of rheumatoid arthritis for juveniles alone. The cause? The immune system is supposed to protect our body, but in some cases, it does the exact opposite. With rheumatoid arthritis, it attacks the joint lining membrane.
The most noticeable symptom of rheumatoid arthritis is pain. To prevent this from happening, all patients are urged to exercise their joints and muscles, even though it may be painful at first.
Another common symptom of rheumatoid arthritis is inflammation. The swelling can be mild to severe. In most instances, this is what separates rheumatoid arthritis from other forms. Swelling and inflammation are likely, but it is much more prominent and debilitating.
Most rheumatoid arthritis suffers rarely experience constant pain. The disease flares up from time to time. Joint overuse and certain foods exacerbate these flare-ups. As for the cause, it is currently unknown. There are many theories; one theory being your genes.
Now that you are familiar with the most common types of arthritis, if you or someone whom you know has arthritis, medical care is essential. A proper diagnosis is vital to developing the best treatment option. Low impact exercise can loosen the joints and strengthen the surrounding muscles eliminating some of the joint stiffness; it can also prevent disability and deformities in chronic suffers.
The Science Behind Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules Made From Nopal Cactus (Prickly Pear) For Pain And Inflammation Support
There are well over 100 different types of arthritis, and each has a different cause. There are, however, some underlying similarities that most arthritic conditions have in common. Chief among them is inflammation and damage to the cartilage. Inflammation can do a lot of damage to the body. Unlike chronic, low-level inflammation, arthritis manifests as acute inflammation(2) That is, the pain is felt at the site of the inflammation and ranges from moderate to intense.

The use of our Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear Drops) may aid in pain management and offer the energy needed to complete your workout routine.

I Wanted The Pain And Inflammation GONE - So, I Tried Your Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear Drops) And After 47 Days I Am Now Living Pain-FreeI
My name is Nancy Grossman, and I live in Virginia. My pain and inflammation started when I was forty years old, and it felt like a jackhammer. It would pound my hips, wrists, and ankles for nearly two decades.
In that time, I had seen some 30 doctors; purchased thousands of dollars in useless, ineffective, highly over-priced and in some cases downright dangerous medications, such as Celebrex and Vioxx the so-called "Miracle Drugs," Of course, the miracle of these drugs is how more people weren't killed by them. Plus, I was on countless remedies over-the-counter products and strict diets, and nothing worked.

What The Medical & Pharmaceutical Community Do Not Want You To Know…The Cold Hard Truth Exposed
The Cold, Hard Facts About The Arthritis Medical & Pharmaceutical Industry From One Of Our Clients: The "Arthritis Industry" - The groups who earn billions of dollars with their expensive treatments for arthritis - DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS!
Just recently, I was pain-free thanks to your Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear Drops). I wanted to let other people know that there was hope for their pain, and not once did I use the name "Nopal Powder Capsules from Natural Home Cures." Rather, I used the generic term - "nopal cactus prickly pear."
I found out about an upcoming Arthritis Foundation convention which would be attended by hundreds of medical doctors, pharmaceutical sales representatives, and other arthritis community leaders and I thought they would be excited to hear about my experience with nopal cactus for pain management.
My husband lets me out at the hotel front door, so I could register for the both of us while he parked the car. By the time he got inside, he was greeted by three hotel security personnel forcing me out of the hotel. I could not believe it!!
I called my doctor, (a family friend), and he told me that he was not surprised as he recounted a similar story that happened to another client of his and that it's not unheard of to find that the mainstream players, those who say they are looking for cures are really in it to pad their wallets, and have no interest in treating those with pain and inflammation.
They pay their top people some of the highest salaries in the industry, plus perks. These not-for-profit organizations and the medical community have no vested interest in healing people but rather in collecting their money and making it appear like they are trying to find a solution when they have no real intention to help anyone.
So, the bottom line takes charge of your well-being and healing: seek alternative care options yourself as no one else will do it for you.

Try Our Pure Alkaline Water Drops; In Combination With Our Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules And Prickly Pear Drops For Better Pain & Inflammation Results
Is Your Diet Causing Your Pain And Inflammation?
If you eat a lot of processed red meats and cheeses, fast and refined foods, sugary snacks, chocolates, and pastries, drink a lot of coffee, soda, or energy drinks or are consuming a lot of medication. There is a good chance your body's pH is more on the acidic than an alkaline side of the scale and where you have acidity you have a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, illnesses, and diseases that are the framework to pain and inflammation.
This is why many clients who are consuming our Natural Home Cures Nopal Powder Capsules, Prickly Pear Drops are also consuming our Natural Home Cures Pure Alkaline Water Drops with Bioavailable Coral Calcium. Our Pure Alkaline Water Drops offer immune system support by bringing your body into a more alkaline state and neutralizing the acidity that lays within your body. When your immune system is at its optimum performance, your body may better address whatever is ailing you.
Our Pure Alkaline Water Drops are easy to consume as all you need to do is take one of the sachets and place it in one gallon (4 liters) of water and drink throughout the day. Our Pure Alkaline Water Drops offers excellent bone and cartilage support that may have been damaged from your inflammation.(4) Once damaged tissues have been rebuilt, the synovial fluid (the joint's natural lubricant) will decrease friction which leads to an even further reduction in pain and inflammation symptoms.
Plus, Natural Home Cures Pure Alkaline Water Drops with Bioavailable Coral Calcium contains over 70 Life-Saving Minerals for even further arthritis support such as:
Boron (As Reported In The Peer Review Journal From National Library Of Medicine)(5) builds healthy bones and muscles. It also improves cognitive skills and coordination. Boron is also an effective astringent agent.
Sulfur is an essential trace element used for the creation/synthesis of two essential amino acids: cysteine and methionine.(6) Sulfur is thought to combat some specific conditions of pain and inflammation.
Selenium (As Reported In The Peer Review Journal From National Institutes Of Health)(7) makes up part of a molecule in the body that is thought to protect blood cells from certain damaging chemicals. When combined with Vitamin E, selenium helps our immune system produce antibodies.
Selenium is found in more than two dozen selenoproteins which play critical roles in a variety of biological functions such as reproduction, thyroid hormone metabolism, and DNA synthesis. Further, Selenium acts as an antioxidant. Selenium may be especially important for men as it is used to support good prostate health.(8)
For a limited time, Natural Home Cures has packaged our Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Prickly Pear Drops) along with our Natural Home Cures Pure Alkaline Water Drops with Bioavailable Coral Calcium into a complete package that you can order today.

Three-Step System For Proper Pain Management & Support
Step 1 Consume Our Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules (Green Bottles): each bottle contains 120 capsules at 500 mg dosage size. You will consume one capsule every six hours. One bottle will last one person 30 days.
Step 2 Consume Prickly Pear Drops (Red - 2 oz bottle(s)): The purpose of our Prickly Pear Drops is to get quick results in half the time, versus consuming our Nopal Powder Capsules alone.
You see our Prickly Pear Drops works on contact via its sublingual administration (under the tongue). You will consume one-half eye dropper twice a day (every 12 hours). The tongue allows for a direct pharmacological route through the mucous membrane into your bloodstream for prompt diffusion throughout your body.
Think of it like this; you need fuel to make your car run (Nopal Powder Capsules) and let's suppose your car does 20 miles to the gallon on average, but the next time you fill-up, you decide to infuse your fuel tank with a powerful combustion catalyst (fuel additive), which is guaranteed to increase your mileage and burn the fuel more efficiently ~ this is what our Natural Home Cures Prickly Pear Drops (fuel additive), can do for your body ~ sublingual absorption guarantees immediate penetration and bioavailability of the superior benefits of our Natural Home Cures Freeze Dried Nopal Powder Capsules which in turn, allows for even quicker results – Guaranteed To Work or Your Money Back.
Most clients will continue to consume our Prickly Pear Drops for a period of two months. Each bottle is good for one person for one month. After that, the Nopal Powder Capsules will have built up in the body, and you can stop consuming the Prickly Pear Drops; unless you are looking for a quick boost of energy which our Prickly Pear Drops offer without the side effects of caffeine or energy drinks.
In about 90 to 120 days you will be able to reduce the number of Nopal Powder Capsules to a maintenance dose of one capsule every 12 hours.
Step 3 Consume Our Pure Alkaline Water Drops with Bioavailable Coral Calcium (Blue Package) - There are 60 sachets in each package. Simply place one sachet in one gallon (4 liters) of water and drink throughout the day.
The importance is not only to drink as much alkaline water as you can but to ensure you are consuming coral calcium which increases your body's pH to a more alkaline state. The more alkaline you are, the less acidity you have in your body.
Diseases love an acidic environment, and the very pain and inflammation you may be feeling right now might be coming from your body's acidity. Acidity comes from poor dietary choices, lack of exercise, smoking, prescription medication, or drinking acidic liquids like coffee, soda, or alcohol.
When your body's alkaline you're able to absorb the nutrients from your food or supplements better, and that's important at winning the war on pain and inflammation.

We recently visited the Israel Museum in Jerusalem and saw many of the Bible-related archaeological treasures displayed there. Bible students would probably recognize objects from Bible dictionaries, class materials, PowerPoint lessons, textbooks, and other sources. It's one thing to see photos but quite another to be inches away from the genuine objects.
Photos have been prohibited throughout the museum during previous visits. That was disconcerting, especially considering that many world-class museums such as the British Museum and the Louvre permit non-flash photography.
A few weeks ago, rumors cropped up that the Israel Museum's ban on non-flash photos had been lifted. I was happily able to confirm the policy change during my recent visit. I took around 170 photos in the museum, under the watchful eyes of staffers, without incident. Here is a photo I took of the ostracon from Khirbet Qeiyafa.
This inscription was discovered in 2008 and dates to the late-11th/early-10th century B.C., around the time of Saul and David in the Bible. It may be the oldest Hebrew inscription yet discovered. Some scholars believe this to be Hebrew written in Early Alphabetic script, though others assert we cannot rule out other similar languages such as Phoenician. Ancient words for "judge," "king," and "slave" are visible but too many of the other letters are faded to permit a sure translation of the message. This ostracon is located in a small gallery about Ancient Writing, located in the museum's archaeology wing.

Chris Brown Releases New Song Just 24 Hours After Arrest
Chris Brown wasted no time getting back to his music following his most recent arrest.
"MUSIC!!!!" he tweeted on Wednesday afternoon, just hours after he was released from jail. The 27-year-old R&B artist released a new single titled "What Would You Do?", and while there aren't too many lyrics, the chorus is pretty telling.
EXCLUSIVE: Chris Brown's Accuser Baylee Curran Says She Feels 'Validated' By Singer's Arrest
"What do you do fighting for your life," he sings. "And no one's on your side."
On Tuesday, Brown was booked and released on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon after former Miss California Regional contestant Baylee Curran claimed that he threatened her with a gun at his home in Tarzana, California on Monday night. Brown claims he was asleep when the alleged incident occurred, and took to Instagram before his arrest on Tuesday to reject Curran's claims and deny any wrongdoing. His lawyer has also stated that these claims are "demonstrably false."
MORE: Chris Brown Addresses Reports He Pointed a Gun at a Woman -- 'I'm Innocent'
Ray J was with Brown at the time of the alleged incident and insisted in an exclusive sit-down interview with ET that they were trying to work on a "new project" when all the drama occurred.
"Chris is my homie and I just can't let people just have this full pile of negativity going on with his name," he said, vouching for the "Forever" singer. "We were creating, we were getting tattoos. We was talking about my new project. We were talking about so many different positive things in a tech community that we can do together -- for the community. So, it just hurts my feelings when that gets derailed with stuff like that."

Sully Soars High, Despite Minor Faults
Story - 70%
Performance - 90%
Cinematography - 80%
All in all, Sully was an enjoyable film and I definitely recommend that you see this film when you can, despite my complaint about the low risk factor in this drama.
Sully's Story Debuts on the Big Screen
Clint Eastwood returns to the directorial chair with Sully. Based on the real life events and Sully's autobiography, Highest Duty, Sully reflects on the events of January 2009, when Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger made an emergency landing of a commuter jet onto the Hudson River.
The film follows Sully (Tom Hanks) in the aftermath of the landing, when the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the incident. As Sully copes emotionally and mentally with the aftermath of the landing, the NTSB is investigating whether Sully made the right call to land in the Hudson River. As such a feat endangered the lives of all the passengers and crew on that plane, the NTSB seeks to find out whether Sully could have made it back to a nearby airport, rather than risk everyone's lives by making the landing on the Hudson River. Should he be in the wrong, Sully risks the chance of losing his license to fly and be forced into retirement with no pension.
Worse, he'll be seen in the public eye as the pilot who made the wrong decision and be judged upon the 208 seconds of this incident compared to the many successful flights he's flown. Will one wrong incident cost Sully his successful career?
Enjoyable Drama Despite Low Risk Factor
Sully is a film I looked forward to seeing and enjoyed every much. The story was strong and well written. It made sense from beginning to end, but my main criticism here is that it didn't feel like the risk level in this film was very high.
Sully pitched itself as a film that sought to dramatize itself through the idea of whether Sully would make it out of this investigation unscathed. I don't know the finer details about the event this film is based off of, but in the time and years following the crash, I never really heard anything news related that was negative about Sully himself, or the passengers aboard the flight.
My thought was that everything was mostly resolved, and it would be an incident and story to be remembered by many people down the road, that ended on a surprisingly positive note. Given that, I'm not surprised that the film came off as a drama with low risk, where you never really felt Sully was in any form of danger that he couldn't get out of. There was the obvious risk of him being found guilty of making the wrong decision in landing in the Hudson, but I never really thought too much that the film would end on a sour note.
This film is based off a true story, obviously, and if the facts in real life tell the situation ended well, then Sully, the film, would most likely end on a good note too. I won't say much else to spoil the film, but having said all that, Sully managed to hold itself pretty well by cutting back and forth between past and present, where the past showed the landing itself, and the present focused on the investigation.
The scenes of the crash were done really well, at least from watching it in IMAX. I did manage to feel somewhat on the edge of my seat seeing the motions of the crash, and what went down from the minute the plane started malfunctioning to the end as passengers and crew were being rescued.
Despite the low risk factor throughout the film, I did also feel some tension during the investigation and that helped to keep me engaged in watching this film. Sully definitely puts effort into getting its audience engaged in the subject matter and I can definitely appreciate this effort. If anything, the subject matter perhaps didn't give a lot of story content to delve into that makes you feel like there's a higher risk to the situation. Having a masterful director, like Clint Eastwood, involved in Sully is clearly shown here as the film comes off with heart and soul put into it.
Strong Talent Carries Sully
Sully also benefited from strong performances from Tom Hanks taking on the character of Sully and Aaron Eckhart as First Officer Jeff Skiles. Each played their roles really well and also added to the engagement factor for this film. Without actors of their calibers, the film could have fallen through and may not have been as engaging to the audience.
Tom Hanks did a fantastic job of portraying Sully, a pilot ridden with anxiety and PTSD. An incident as such in the moment and immediate aftermath would definitely have an effect on the person who is in the center of it. Sully was the one who made the decision to land the plane in the water rather than risk flying to a nearby airport and possibly crashing, and killing everyone on board. He does an excellent job of showing the thoughts going on in his head, and a man who's worn out by this investigation. The anxiety would kill me if I was in the middle of such a situation. Tom Hanks made you feel like you were in his shoes and that you were feeling the anxiety and paranoia he felt of whether he could have done more in the situation, and what would become of him after this investigation.
Aaron Eckhart did a fantastic job too of showing Jeff Skiles and what he was going through as the first officer who assisted Sully during the landing. Now he too faces the possible danger of losing his career, and you could see that well throughout Sully. The film focuses more on Sully, being that this film is called Sully, but Aaron Eckhart's performance should definitely not be minimized. He showed Skiles' anxiety and angst as well as how much he reassured Sully that they did the best they could with what the situation presented. Both Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart brought their A games in Sully.
Definitely see Sully (in IMAX, If You Can)
All in all, Sully was an enjoyable film and I definitely recommend that you see this film when you can, despite my complaint about the low risk factor in this drama. You still have a great story in a film helmed by a great director. Clint Eastwood did a really good job directing this film. You also have A-list talent bringing their A games in the form of Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart. I will leave this piece of advice should you choose to see Sully. Go see it in IMAX. I don't know what it's like in a non-IMAX format, but despite this not being an action film, a film genre appropriate for seeing in IMAX, Sully is actually a film where you can benefit from seeing in such a format. Scenes of the plane landing and the thoughts in Sully's head where he imagines the plane crashing, and exploding, should he have decided to go the airport route, feels more surreal in IMAX than seeing it in a regular format. But yes, definitely go see this film, and if you can see it in IMAX, go see it in that format too!

The ABCs of JDBC, Part 1 - Getting Started with JDBC
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
The Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API remains the industry standard for database-independent connectivity between Java and a wide range of databases. While modern object-relational frameworks, such as Hibernate and JPA, have simplified data persistence, knowledge of the JDBC API is still an essential part of any Java developer's tool belt.
DZone has assembled a panel of JDBC experts from the community that will be answering some of your most common (and not-so-common) questions about the JDBC API. Over the next several months, we will be publishing their responses here on JavaLobby. We encourage you to provide your insights and experiences using JDBC as well!
This week, Daniel Rubio, author of Web Forefront, provides answers to some common (yet essential) JDBC questions.
What is JDBC?
Daniel Rubio: The JDBC API is a standard that allows Java applications to perform operations against permanent storage sources, which include Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS), spreadsheets, flat files and other tabular data sources.
Since the JDBC API is supported across several permanent storage solutions, this allows Java developers to learn and concentrate on a single API, without worrying about the potential discrepancies of performing operations against different permanent storage solutions.
The JDBC API forms part of Java's Standard Edition.
What is a JDBC Driver ?
Daniel: A JDBC driver is what allows a permanent storage solution to support operations through the JDBC API. Each permanent storage solution generally comes accompanied by a JDBC driver. Though it's possible to write a JDBC driver from scratch, creating a JDBC driver requires a deep understanding of the underlying permanent storage solution, so you're best served using a pre-built JDBC driver.
How does the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) work ?
Daniel: JDBC maps a permanent storage solution's operations under a single API (i.e. the JDBC API). Since each permanent storage solution will have a proprietary way in which to create, read, update and delete data, JDBC maps each of these proprietary calls to a single JDBC API call which performs uniformly irrespective of the permanent storage manufacturer.
You can think of it in terms of crossing a bridge, with one end representing the Java application and another the permanent storage solution. To cross the first half of the bridge, you must learn the JDBC API and incorporate it with a Java application. The cross the second half of the bridge, you must rely on a JDBC driver designed for a particular permanent storage solution. The benefit is that once you know the JDBC API, you're always half-way through communicating with any permanent storage solution that supports JDBC.
If I use the JDBC API, do I have to use ODBC ?
Daniel: There is only one circumstance in which JDBC would be used in conjunction with ODBC: A lack of a suitable JDBC driver for a permanent storage solution. Under such circumstances, a permanent storage solution's ODBC driver is used as the underlying mechanism to perform operations through the JDBC API.
It should be noted though, this approach -- often called JDBC-ODBC bridge -- has lost popularity with the growing presence of JDBC drivers provided by manufacturers. As far as the ODBC API itself is concerned, there is no need to use this API while using the JDBC API.
Once I have Java's Standard Edition, what else do I need to connect to a database ?
Daniel: In addition to Java's SE which includes the JDBC API, you'll also need to obtain the following:
- A JDBC driver (i.e. JAR file) for the particular database version and manufacturer you wish to connect to.
- Connection credentials to the permanent storage system (e.g. username, password, location-URL) -- this is provided by your system administrator or DBA.
What are the steps required to execute a query in JDBC ?
- Establish a connection to a permanent storage system
- Perform the required query using the JDBC API
- Validate and use the results obtained from using the JDBC API
How do I create a database connection ?
Daniel: A connection to a database is made through a combination of JDBC API classes, including configuration parameters specific to a database. There are two ways in which to create a database connection, one involves the DriverManager class and the other the DataSource class. Note that both classes belong to the JDBC API.
The DriverManager class represents the earliest approach to creating a database connection. The following code snippet illustrating this process.
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "foo", "bar"); Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
To create a connection using the DriverManager class you need to call the getConnection() method. In this case, the getConnection() method receives three parameters: a String specifying the connection URL of the database -- in the form "jdbc:<database_type>://<host>:<port>/<name>" -- and two additional Strings specifying the database username and password. In addition, prior to instantiating a connection using the DriverManager class, a call is made to Class.forName to ensure the appropriate JDBC driver class is loaded onto Java's classpath. Once the Connection object is created, it can be used to perform queries against a database.
Another variation to creating a database connection consists of using the DataSource class. The DataSource class is primarily designed to be used in Java EE applications and is a newer approach to using the DriverManager class. Given the needs of Java EE applications, the DataSource class increases code portability, as well as performance when using the JDBC API.
For example, the following code snippet illustrates how to create a database connection using the DataSource class.
InitialContext cxt = new InitialContext(); DataSource ds = (DataSource) cxt.lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/mysql"); Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
Similar to the DriverManager class, the DataSource class also calls a method named getConnection() in order to create a connection. However, unlike its counterpart, notice the DataSource object doesn't have as many hard-coded connection parameters, but is rather instantiated with the line:
This last line represents a JNDI resource.
JNDI resources are common in Java EE applications since they allow resources to be configured in a central location, instead of hard-coding them in Java code. In this case, the JNDI resource is configured with the same database connection parameters (i.e. "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "foo", "bar"), except its done so in a centralized configuration file. Discussing JNDI resource configuration would go beyond the scope of this question, consult your Java EE web container's documentation for more on JNDI resource configuration.
Another variation to using the DataSource class consists of forgoing the use of JNDI and instead relying on dependency injection -- a common process in Java applications using frameworks like Spring or Guice. The following code snippet illustrates this sequence.
private DataSource ds = null; public void setDataSource(DataSource ds) { this.ds = ds; } Connection conn = ds.getConnection(); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
In this case notice the DataSource object apparently lacks any configuration parameters, however, this is not the case. When an application using this particular code snippet relies on a dependency injection framework, an object is said to be injected with its values. In a similar way to using JNDI, a DataSource's database connection parameters (i.e. "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test", "foo", "bar") are configured in a centralized configuration file. Discussing dependency injection configuration would go beyond the scope of this question, consult your dependency injection framework's documentation for more on DataSource injection configuration.
Finally, another advantage to using the DataSource class over the ConnectionManager class is that the DataSource class is tightly knit to the usage of connection pools. Connection pools are described next.
What is Connection?
Daniel: A Connection is an object capable of performing CRUD operations (e.g. create, read, update, delete) on a permanent storage system.
What is Connection pooling?
Daniel: Connection pooling is the act of re-using Connection objects used to access permanent storage systems. Since creating Connection objects involves time and resources (e.g. establishing a connection through a network), keeping Connection objects in a stand-by state can increase performance in application's using the JDBC API.
The management of Connection pools, which can include pre-spawning Connection objects or limiting the number of Connection objects in a pool, is generally delegated to third party libraries. One of the most popular pooling libraries is Apache's DBCP (http://commons.apache.org/dbcp/). It should be further noted, that if an application is designed to operate on a Java EE web container (e.g. Tomcat) Connection pooling is the recommended approach.
What is DriverManager ?
Daniel: DriverManager is a class which allows a connection to be made to a permanent storage system using JDBC. See 'How do I create a database connection' for more details on DriverManager.
What is Statement pooling?
Daniel: Similar to Connection pooling, Statement pooling consists of re-using Statement objects used to query a permanent storage system. Since executing a Statement object involves time and resources (e.g. update record X, update record Y, update record Z), keeping Statement objects in a pre-compiled form can increase performance in application's using the JDBC API.
What is DML?
Daniel: DML stands for Data Manipulation Language (DML) and consists of statements used to manage data. The JDBC API supports a multitude of DML operations. Typical DML operations include SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE. DML is not directly tied to JDBC, but rather forms part of a broader set of database terms along with Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Control Language (DCL) and Transaction Control Language (TCL).
What are four types of JDBC drivers ?
JDBC drivers have evolved over time. There are now four types of JDBC drivers and ongoing work on a fifth type.
Type 1 JDBC drivers - The first JDBC drivers. Type 1 drivers operate on the foundations of ODBC, which was an established permanent storage API at the time of JDBC's release. This allowed the JDBC API to be used in application's that needed to connect to permanent storage system's via ODBC. These type of drivers are often called JDBC-ODBC bridges, given their need to operate through ODBC.
Type 2 JDBC drivers - Type 2 drivers convert JDBC calls into native calls belonging to a permanent storage manufacturer's API. Compared to type 1 JDBC drivers, type 2 JDBC drivers represent a step forward because they are linked directly to a permanent storage manufacturer's API, instead of ODBC. This makes the connection process more efficient, albeit less portable since the driver is linked to a permanent storage manufacturer API (e.g. version and operating system).
Type 3 JDBC drivers - Type 3 drivers operate through a permanent storage system's protocol, unlike type 1 and type 2 drivers which operate by mapping lower level APIs (i.e. ODBC and native). Type 3 JDBC drivers require the presence of a middle-tier. This middle-tier then serves as a broker, converting application calls to a database independent protocol, which is then translated into a database protocol.
Type 4 JDBC drivers - Similar to type 3 JDBC drivers, type 4 drivers also operate through a permanent storage system's protocol, except they don't require a middle-tier to operate, thus resulting in better performance over type 3 JDBC drivers. Connections between an application and a permanent storage system can be made directly (i.e. usually through a network connection). The majority of modern permanent storage solutions offer type 4 JDBC drivers.
Type 5 JDBC drivers (Ongoing work) - Though there is no official word on the advent of type 5 JDBC drivers, there are numerous writings around the web on some of the shortcomings of type 4 JDBC drivers. Some of the issues include, addressing technologies like Object Relational Mapping (ORM) which depend on JDBC and have had explosive growth in recent years, bulk data loading and all-in-one deployment. You can find an interesting read on the possible future of type 5 JDBC drivers from Jesse Davis -- active member of the JDBC Expert Group -- at Has JDBC kept up with Enterprise requirements.
Editor's Note: In the coming installments, we will look at JDBC Result Sets, data types, transactions, and more.
Opinions expressed by DZone contributors are their own.

A warning to HP and other PC companies with the upcoming Slate tablet PC and other post-iPad tablet PCs: Stop trying to sell your new devices by touting alleged technical superiorities. Resist emphasizing faster processors, array of connecting jacks and memory slots, Flash compatibility, 1080p video playback, built-in cameras/video recorders, and that they run Windows 7. What HP and Microsoft and all tablet makers to follow have missed is that iPad is not a tablet PC.

Day by Day Armageddon by J.L. Bourne
Day by Day Armageddon is a fictional journal of an unnamed Navy pilot depicting the daily events of the zombie apocalypse. The journal begins with a new year's resolution, describes newscasts about a virus outbreak in china, then continues to describe each day as things around the world get progressively worse, leading to the eventual total collapse of modern society.
J.L. Bourne has not brought anything new to the table as far as zombie lore goes. He sticks to the fundamentals laid out by George A. Romero's films. These zombies are slow, stupid, and they bite. They also moan and shuffle around. Many zombie fans see this as a purist's approach to zombie fiction; I see it as unoriginal.
However, despite the lack of an original premise, I was able to enjoy the story quite a bit. Bourne is a good writer, sticking with the concise verbiage you might ex... Read More

Welcome back to the zombie apocalypse!
Your personal guide in this rotten wasteland is the still unnamed naval officer from Day by Day Armageddon. J.L. Bourne's Beyond Exile starts immediately following the journal entry at the end of the first book with the narrator and his companions residing in a relatively secure location. Life has begun to feel somewhat normal. However, normalcy quickly deteriorates, and the places that were once safe are now death traps. With bravery, luck, and a little ingenuity they may just find a way to be safe again.
J.L. Bourne steps up his game in Beyond Exile and really weaves a great story. Bourne backs off a little from the "dear diary" premise of Day by Day Armageddon, and the story is no longer solely delivered through the journa... Read More

The Grey Lady of Lac Serreire
Duncan Charman and Chris Petter
When my fishing buddy and fellow Nash Ambassador Chris Petter asked if I was interested in an all expenses paid trip to France to celebrate his 50th birthday I could hardly refuse. The target for him was to up his French personal best to hopefully a fifty, for me being an all-rounder, I was just happy to get away, spend some relaxing time in good company and hopefully bag a couple of thirties if I was lucky.
Our destination was Lac Serreire in the Coussac region of France, south of Limoges and some 450miles from Calais. It was 11.30pm on Friday April 21st when the doorbell rung and after a quick coffee we were on the road heading to the Eurotunnel in Kent, both not looking forward to the drive through the night, especially after a day in the office. Arriving in Calais in the early hours we hit the toll roads and with an 80mph limit we were soon eating the miles up,
Arriving just before one and after an informative tour of the lake by the owner Simon Mansbridge we drew numbers for swim choice and yes you guessed it, I pulled out the last one! Fortunately Chris's hand was slightly better and with the Shallows and Outlet swims going first we were left with a choice of the Middle, Woods or one of Tim and Mary's. Chris decided on the Woods as this is the only swim on the far bank, one that has loads of options going for it and a swim that is good to double up in without reducing each other's chances dramatically. Chris had choice of sides and amazingly went for the right hand side which is far shallower and generally provides more fish but usually smaller, yet it had done a seventy the previous week. I was left with deeper water, one that does fewer but bigger fish and the thought of blanking was going through my mind, especially knowing that the swim had only done two fish the previous week. Totally knackered from the lack of sleep and food, and with brains not functioning correctly we simply got a couple of rods out each, all on snowman rigs, cooked a curry and then hit the sack not expecting any action until the following day.
It was 2am when we were awoken by a one tonner which saw Chris bent into a fish which just plodded away not doing allot, something that big fish can do on occasions. In the net I could see that this carp was going be close to Chris's goal as it was massive compared to anything I had ever witnessed. On the scales we could see it was agonisingly close to the fifty pound mark but both agreed that she, although a personal best, wasn't quite there and settled at a weight of 49lb exactly.
What was so rewarding from this capture is I had actually thought about bait and rig so instead of using a snowman rig had drilled out a 20mm Scopex Squid boilie and plugged it with 7mm rig foam so that it would counterbalance the weight of the hook and act the same as the freebies around it, very similar to what I try to achieve when crucian fishing. I'd also dropped the weight of the lead from a 3oz to a 2oz Long Ranger as I hoped that the length and weight of this wouldn't sink into the heavy silt within the lake. The rig itself was copied from one which my good friend Jake Lund made up for me, specifically for this trip, and is what he classifies as a go-anywhere bottom bait rig. All I did was use Nash TT components which included an eight inch 20lb weed Comblink hooklink, size 6 barbless Fang X hook, a couple of blobs of Cling-On tungsten putty and a 1mm Blow Out Tube to make the bait come straight of the top of the hook.
The next two days followed in similar fashion with Chris and myself taking two carp each. Chris's went 42lb 14oz and 38lb 12oz the following night and myself one of 56lb 6oz at first light and a 39lb 12oz mirror in the early hours of Wednesday. Three of these carp fell during a short period when the wind changed from a chilly north to a warmer south westerly. All these carp came to rods fished in the shallows or alongside the lilies, which wasn't surprising as the carp were getting ready to spawn and nothing was coming to any angler fishing at distance to open water. Things then went quiet, probably due to the wind swinging once again to the north and after a day of constant heavy cold rain. The best part of three days past before we received anymore action with Chris taking two twenties, 21lb 12oz and 28lb during Thursday night when the temperatures plummeted to -5, a 32lb 7oz during Friday night and then one of 38lb 12oz on one of my rods just minutes before winding in whilst I was briefly away from my rods!
The fishery has a ban on the use of plastic and foam baits as these if lost create a 24/7 hookbait for a carp to pick up and if tethered easily damage or at worse cause a fatality. I consulted the owner so I could use a non-threatening counterbalanced bait using foam and try something different. The reason for my thinking was that most anglers seem to be using snowman rigs with bright pop-ups, and although they seem to produce their fair share of carp, I wanted to get away from this blatant obvious hazard and if a clued up carp did enter my swim then needed a bait that looked and acted to the freebies surrounding it. It might have only caught me one fish and the question whether it played any part in the downfall of 'The Grey Lady' but the reward in thinking about the situation, being slightly different whilst keeping with the rules was suitable satisfying.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) has made a career out of railing against the neoliberal capitalist model of at least Mexico's last five governments. He was swept into office last year most likely on the promise of putting an end to systemic government corruption, but along the way he dwelled heavily on providing relief to the poorest sectors of society. The new president's populist themes also include food and energy self-sufficiency, a nod to the import-substitution model popular among Latin American governments in the 1960s. In order to take on two of these targets at once, AMLO has been rolling out a series of new programs to "rescue the countryside" (rescatar al campo) by providing focused support to small producers of basic foodstuffs.

Animal feed industry eyes NAFTA talks warily
The renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between Mexico, Canada and the United States continues to trudge on, with the fate of the agreement hanging in the balance. The U.S. government initiated the renegotiation at the behest of President Donald Trump, who has reiterated his willingness to abandon the pact on multiple occasions. But it appears that Mr. Trump is working himself into something of a political pickle, since if he actually made good on this threats and pulled the United States out of NAFTA, it could cause serious consequences for some bedrock sectors of his own party in the run-up to mid-term Congressional elections in the U.S. this year. This has not been lost on midwestern grain farmers, most of whom – we're just going to go out on a limb and take a guess here – probably voted for Mr. Trump in the 2016 presidential election. Grain exports are very important to midwestern grain farmers in states such as Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa, for which Mexico ranks as either number one or number two export market for overall exports. Not all grain exports are used to produce animal feed, but lately we've been languidly gazing at statistics on livestock feed production to allay our vespertine torpor, and it looks to us like they paint a pretty clear picture about the impact of public policy on industry.

I wasn't fully satisfied with my last salon so I decided to try a new place. I really like the way they do their powder dip. I felt like there was more care taken to make sure it would last and on my way out I was let know there was a 2 week guarantee. That is a big deal for me since I had issues with that before. I plan to return and try out other services so I can make this my one stop shop!

What can be said that hasn't already been said?
Why contribute to the noise on social media?
No one is being heard. No one is listening.
I'm too white to understand the plight.
I grew up upper middle class. Who am I to pretend I understand?
All questions I told myself are valid.
Then my friend Osheta challenged a group I'm in, "Help me understand why you have an abundance of compassion for our brothers and sisters suffering in Africa but not so much for our African-American brothers and sisters suffering here."
And I had to face what I knew to be true: I haven't written about race because I am afraid.
Afraid of so many things.
Afraid that black people will think I'm too white.
Afraid of what my white friends will say.
Afraid that my police officer friends will misunderstand me.
Afraid for the opinions that will follow. (I prefer to stay neutral on controversial subjects.)
Afraid for how it will effect my brand. (I write to moms in suburbia, who are mostly white.)
So I will take the advice I give my children:
If you can't beat fear, do it scared.
So here I am. Writing scared.
Let's begin.
I wish I didn't have to preface this with saying that yes, all lives matter (which is just code for white lives matter) and blue lives matter. The reason that Black Lives Matter trumps these is because we already believe white lives matter and blue lives matter.
"Saying that Black Lives Matter is NOT saying that no other lives have value."
American history has always supported the fundamental belief that white people and police officers have value.
Saying that Black Lives Matter is NOT saying that no other lives have value.
It's saying that we've put up with the bull crap long enough. And it's time for black lives to matter as much as all lives. Black people aren't trying to matter more than you. They're trying to matter as much as you.
If you tell yourself that every person in America is treated equally, you are wrong.
If you tell yourself you are colorblind, you are lying.
If you think racism doesn't exist, please tell me more about this rock you're living under.
I could reference study after study to prove racism is still very much alive.
I could show you how communities are purposely built to oppress black people.
I could show you statistics of black people overrepresented in prisons and underrepresented in colleges.
Instead, I will speak of personal experiences. These are not as difficult as police brutality and unjust murder, but they shed light on the systemic racism that we must acknowledge exists. And we must fight to change.
This weekend, some of my black friends and I were discussing traffic violations.
And one casually said, "The officer first asked if I had any weapons…" and continued as if that were totally normal.
Let me tell you the number of times I've been asked if I had any weapons: 0.
And guess which of us owns more guns?
Systemic racism says, "You are black. You probably have a gun. You are white. You are safe."
"Black people have been beating the drum that Black Lives Matter long before it became a hashtag. But they cannot do this alone."
Another time, a neighbor was moving. He said, "Don't worry, I will be sure to find a buyer suitable for you." Implying he hoped a white person would purchase his house.
(A neighbor suitable for me is one who doesn't report me to the HOA for the number of infractions I violate daily.)
Systemic racism says, "Let's keep our little white suburbs white."
Racism will not be solved in a day. We've spent hundreds of years oppressing black people. It will take time to undo. Ending slavery and the Civil Rights Movement each served to move us in the right direction, but we still have so far to go.
Which is why I am compelled to speak up. Black people have been beating the drum that Black Lives Matter long before it became a hashtag. But they cannot do this alone.
It is time for white people to join the fight.
White people are the overwhelmingly majority race in America. And as long as we let racism stand, it will stand.
I know that most white Americans are not racist. But our silence is doing as much damage as the haters' hate.
"All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." (Edmund Burke)
If this makes you uncomfortable, I am glad. It should.
2016 feels like it's going to hell in a hand basket. This has been the worst year I can remember in my lifetime. But we do not have to be afraid. That which was meant for evil can be turned around for the good.
This is our Rosa Parks moment. This is the time where we can metaphorically take a stand and say, "NOT ON MY WATCH!"
It's been a long day. I am tired of watching black men and women lose their lives at the hand of men who vowed to protect us.
(I will make the unnecessary disclaimer that somehow becomes necessary that I know most police are incredible people doing a very hard job, but that does not mean we do not hold those accountable who have seemingly misunderstood the oath they've taken.)
(Just as most doctors are good. But those who commit medical malpractice should pay.)
(Same goes for literally every profession.)
(The fact that I even need to explain this should be enough indication of the problem.)
As I was saying. It's been a long day in American history, so to speak. And our black brothers and sisters are tired of moving to the back of the bus. They're tired of being mistreated. Tired of not getting jobs they're qualified for. Tired of being killed. Because they're too black.
White people, I implore you to join the fight. At the risk of overusing the Rosa Parks metaphor, give your black friends your seat on the bus, and let them rest for a minute. Stand up and fight for them. They've been fighting their whole lives. And because I know they won't actually take a rest, imagine what change will take place if we stand up and fight together.
"Imagine praying every day that your husband, sons and brothers would simply make it home alive. Because the color of their skin may determine otherwise."
And don't let yourself believe you are only one person, and one person doesn't change anything. History says otherwise.
If you're new to this conversation and are questioning if it's really as bad as they say, let me help you:
Do you remember what it felt like to go to the movies for the first time after the Aurora, Colorado shooting in the theater?
Do you remember what it felt like to send your kids to school the day after the massacre in Newton, Connecticut?
Do you remember flying for the first time following 9/11 and the eerie feeling of the onslaught of TSA agents?
Do you remember how hard it was to suppress your fear in the aftermath of those horrifying events?
Imagine living your life like that every single day. Imagine that a broken tail light could cost you your life. Imagine that your son playing with a toy gun at the park may not make it home today. Imagine praying every day that your husband, sons and brothers would simply make it home alive. Because the color of their skin may determine otherwise.
This is the horrifying reality. And if you're privileged enough to not experience it, congratulations on being white. But just because you don't experience it doesn't mean it's not true.
It is happening. Every day. #BlackLivesMatter is not a trendy hashtag. It's meant to rally together to bring the very necessary change we need.
If #BlackLivesMatter bothers you, I encourage you to ask yourself why.
If you didn't feel the same outrage about Alton Sterling and Philando Castile as you did about the Dallas Police Officers who lost their lives, why? If All Lives Matter, then all lives should matter. Seven men lost their lives the same way: tragically and unnecessarily.
This is just the beginning of the conversation. There is so much more to be said. Awareness is a start, but it is certainly not the end. I do not pretend to have all of the answers, but I will not stop asking the questions.
Black Lives Matter.
Let them matter to you.
A place to begin: Concrete Ways To Be An Actual Ally To Black People.
You can't change everything. But you can do something.
White America, it's time to join the fight.
(Please allow me to make the disclaimer that I used a lot of "us" and "them" in this article. I did this as a means to make a point, not to further divide.)

Are you questioning when the very best time to begin on your house enhancement jobs is? Like with numerous other points, knowing the basics allows any type of project to run far more efficiently. This article discusses the basics of home enhancement to ensure that you don't go down the incorrect course.
Just before you start making your residence renovations, try to recognize your personal design. The embellishing style that you choose needs to act as the driver for your project. Try not to make adjustments in the center of the task, as you ought to adhere to your designated design. Avoid added costs by mapping out your design as well as plan prior to you begin your residence enhancement task.
Think of placing solar panels on your house. Photovoltaic panels are a major investment, yet you will certainly lower your electric expenses in the long term. This will certainly permit you to conserve some money on the power expenses since you're getting your power from the electric batteries that you save it in. This is a fantastic means to power your home.
Be prepared well in advance of house enhancement. Do your creative thinking and also your practical figuring much ahead of the real enhancements. Once you have begun, you will certainly be able to concentrate on exactly what you are doing, as well as not the details of style. Motivation could come from anywhere: house improvement reveals in TELEVISION, publications, or even attributes that you see in your friends' homes.
Before you consider making an improvement to your home, you ought to visit open homes in more recent buildings. You will get an opportunity to view how the most recent fads in colors and styles look inside a house as opposed to simply in a house center. A great deal of these version houses hires designers so you are able to see the excellent style.
The better your home's curb charm is, the even more money you could leave it when it offers. If your home watches out onto the ocean, as an example, this could increase its value. Some folks like a view of the ocean, while others would like a nice view of sundown each night.
When thinking of projects that can boost your home, do not forget the landscape design. Your yard is seen initially by folks involving your house. Keep the grass properly cut, while setting up plants while bushes to make your home look attractive.
Use your old luggage rack to make a special side table. Recycle the glass from an aged photo while attaching it to your baggage rack with some sticky. Put a collection of publications and a favorite lamp on top to finish off the wanted look.
Is an older person living with you? If so, then you ought to make sure your home renovations are risk-free, and mobile, while effortlessly obtainable to this elderly individual. Often it's important to place it in a bath to replace a tub, for example. Even such little additions as bars for hanging on to could go a long way to making your house friendlier to those with mobility problems.
Changing your floor with a new material could be very pricey. If you are wishing to save money, think about discoloring the concrete subfloor rather than going with the above choices. This alternative produces a modern-day look that is extremely versatile when it pertains to decorating.
Intend to beautify your eating space? Sand down your eating table as well as attempt refinishing it. While this is a lengthy task, a new finish can make an aged table appear brand-new once again. If you utilize this idea, take the time to do it right.
You should now understand that dealing with a home-improvement project ought to not be difficult. Whatever the complexity of your job, learning about it will make it easier to do. Always remember just what you have actually simply found out, as well as watch your home get better and much better.

A Fox executive wrote an ignorant homophobic racist column complaining that the U.S. Olympic team was too black and too gay. It was so bad that Fox was finally forced to delete it.
Fox hasn't exactly shied away from posting pieces full of racism and bigotry. So you know something is really bad if even Fox won't air it. Or maybe they were just shamed into removing this disgusting article. But either way, they finally took it down.
On Wednesday, Fox executive vice president John Moody wrote an op-ed piece for FoxNews.com complaining about the diversity on this year's Olympic team.
Moody wrote,
"Unless it's changed overnight, the motto of the Olympics, since 1894, has been "Faster, Higher, Stronger." It appears the U.S. Olympic Committee would like to change that to "Darker, Gayer, Different." If your goal is to win medals, that won't work.
A USOC official was quoted this week expressing pride (what else?) about taking the most diverse U.S. squad ever to the Winter Olympics. That was followed by a, frankly, embarrassing laundry list of how many African-Americans, Asians and openly gay athletes are on this year's U.S. team. No sport that we are aware of awards points – or medals – for skin color or sexual orientation.
For the current USOC, a dream team should look more like the general population. So, while uncomfortable, the question probably needs to be asked: were our Olympians selected because they're the best at what they do, or because they're the best publicity for our current obsession with having one each from Column A, B and C?"
This year's Team USA is the most diverse group we've ever sent to the winter games, but it's hardly an ideal representation of minorities in this country. As the Washington Post points out, out of 243 athletes two men are openly gay, "10 are African American — 4 percent — and another 10 are Asian American. The rest, by and large, are white."
As you can imagine, Fox got major backlash about Moody's article. So much so that by Friday afternoon Fox deleted the entire thing.
In a statement on Friday Fox said, "John Moody's column does not reflect the views or values of FOX News and has been removed."
Gay rights groups were furious about the piece. The president and CEO of GLAAD, Kate Ellis, said, "The executive vice president of Fox News targeted some of our nation's top athletes with vicious anti-LGBTQ and biased rhetoric at what should be the proudest moment of their lives."
She continued,
"These athletes are at the Olympics because they already won by qualifying to represent the United States on the world's stage; and they did so despite facing discrimination from places like Fox News throughout their careers. Moody should not only apologize to the athletes and fans for this disgraceful post, but Fox News should open their site for diverse athletes to share their own personal stories and perspectives."
It's good that Fox finally deleted the piece. It never should've been published in the first place.
