Q: Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Operation not allowed after ResultSet closed So, I'm getting the error in the title while executing the below process and I really don't know what can be wrong.
What I'm doing is trying to bring some data from a database to create an object and fill and arraylist with several of it's objects, if not found should throw an exceptio
public ArrayList<Caso> buscarCasosPorJuez(String cedula) throws java.sql.SQLException,Exception{
    java.sql.ResultSet rs;
    String sql;
    Caso caso;
    ArrayList<Caso> casos = new ArrayList();
    sql="SELECT * "+
    "FROM tcaso "+
    "WHERE CedulaJ='"+cedula+"';";
    Conector.getConector().ejecutarSQL(sql);
    rs = Conector.getConector().ejecutarSQL(sql,true);

    while (rs.next()){
        caso = new Caso(
            rs.getInt("NumCaso"),
            rs.getString("DescripcionCaso"),
            rs.getString("EstadoCaso"),
            rs.getDate("FechaCreacion").toLocalDate(),
            persona.buscarJuezPorCedula(rs.getString("CedulaJ")),
            persona.buscarQuerellante(rs.getString("CedulaQ"))
            );
        casos.add(caso);
    }

    rs.close();
    return casos;
}

Below are the two methods the "New Caso" is calling on the two final lines.
public Juez buscarJuezPorCedula(String cedula) throws java.sql.SQLException,Exception{
    Juez juez = null;
    java.sql.ResultSet rs;
    String sql;
    sql = "SELECT Sala,Usuario,Clave,NombreJ,ApellidosJ,TelefonoJ,CedulaJ "+
    "FROM tjuez "+
    "WHERE CedulaJ='"+cedula+"';";
    rs = Conector.getConector().ejecutarSQL(sql,false);

    if (rs.next()){
        juez = new Juez(
            rs.getInt("Sala"),
            rs.getString("Usuario"),
            rs.getString("Clave"),
            rs.getString("NombreJ"),
            rs.getString("ApellidosJ"),
            rs.getString("TelefonoJ"),
            rs.getString("CedulaJ"));
    } else {
        throw new Exception ("Persona no encontrada intentelo de nuevo.");
        }

    rs.close();
    return juez;
}

public Querellante buscarQuerellante(String cedula) throws java.sql.SQLException,Exception{
    Querellante querellante = null;
    java.sql.ResultSet rs;
    String sql;
    sql = "SELECT DireccionQ,NombreQ,ApellidosQ,TelefonoQ,CedulaQ "+
    "FROM tquerellante "+
    "WHERE CedulaQ='"+cedula+"';";
    rs = Conector.getConector().ejecutarSQL(sql,true);

    if (rs.next()){
        querellante = new Querellante(
            rs.getString("DireccionQ"),
            rs.getString("NombreQ"),
            rs.getString("ApellidosQ"),
            rs.getString("TelefonoQ"),
            rs.getString("CedulaQ"));
    } else {
        throw new Exception ("Persona no encontrada intentelo de nuevo.");
    }

    rs.close();
    return querellante;
}

Thanks for all the help you can provide.

A: I suspect you are closing the Statement object in ejucutarSQL(), which closes all ResultSets derived from it.
You can't actually write all-purpose SQL-executing methods like that, at least not without using CachedRowSet, which costs memory.
You need to restructure this code along more conventional lines, with explicit Connector and Statement objects as local variables so you can close them in reverse order of acquisition.
You should be using PreparedStatements instead of building arguments into SQL strings. If you throw an exception you are also leaking the result set.
For example:
public Querellante buscarQuerellante(String cedula) throws java.sql.SQLException,Exception{
    String sql = "SELECT DireccionQ,NombreQ,ApellidosQ,TelefonoQ,CedulaQ "+
        "FROM tquerellante "+
        "WHERE CedulaQ=?";
    try (Connnector conn = ...; // TODO
        PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
        )
    {
        ps.setObject(1, cedula);
        try (ResultSet rs = ps.execute())
        {
            if (rs.next()){
                return new Querellante(
                    rs.getString("DireccionQ"),
                    rs.getString("NombreQ"),
                    rs.getString("ApellidosQ"),
                    rs.getString("TelefonoQ"),
                    rs.getString("CedulaQ"));
            } else {
                throw new Exception ("Persona no encontrada intentelo de nuevo.");
            }
        }
    }
}

Note that try-with-resources always closes everything allocated, and in the reverse order of acquisition.

In recent years, the phenomenon of radicalisation among young Tunisians, especially in the metropolitan area of Tunis and in the south of the country, has seen an exponential increase, demonstrated by aggressive propaganda in favour of Islamic extremist groups on social media. Tunisia is one of the 10 countries with the highest number of tweets in support of ISIS. There are also many young foreign fighters who leave Tunisia to go and fight in Iraq, Syria and Libya.
The political instability that had prevailed in the country following the 2010-11 revolution, and a worrying increase in unemployment have resulted in an increase in migratory flows. According to 2016 data, unemployment affects 15.4% of the population (12.5% for men and 23% for women), and has increased to 31.2% among graduates (20.3% men, 40% women).
In this context, the initiative aims to promote the women's socio-economicempowerment and gender equality, thus enhancing the crucial and active role that women and youth can play against radicalisation and violent extremism through training opportunities. These training opportunities help them in learning all about sustainable businesses and making their integration in the inclusive labour market easier.
Use of internet and social media to communicate positive messages showing that change is possible.
Strengthening local networks of women for developing a culture of peace, and creation of a participatory dialogue network to better understand the phenomenon of radicalisation. Promoting a counter-narrative addressed to young people at risk of radicalisation.
Development of awareness campaigns against violent extremism in places where young people socialise and in schools (12 communities, 20 local women leaders). Mitigating the risk of radicalisation among young people through increase in youth employment.

DAVIS — The gunman who shot and killed 22- yr-previous Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona Thursday night time has been identified by the Yolo County Sheriff's Office as Davis resident 48-yr-previous Kevin Douglas Limbaugh.
In accordance with paperwork obtained by FOX40, in September 2018, Limbaugh was dealing with a felony cost for battery with critical bodily damage.
The charge was decreased to a misdemeanor via a plea settlement.
The specifics of the case are unknown right now.
Limbaugh pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor cost and was ordered to surrender a semi-automated rifle this past November.
It was believed at the time Limbaugh had no access to other weapons, in response to the documents.
In accordance with a source, Limbaugh had no prior legal history.

Q: In Jaspersoft Studio, how to change number of pages I am creating a report in jasper studio which contains only one chart. But when i click on preview tab it creates the chart on hundreds of pages. And the chart is same on every page. Can any one tell me how to fix it.

A: This sounds like you put the chart in the Detail band. The Detail band gets repeated for every record in the database. Try putting the chart in the page footer, it only gets repeated every page. If your report is supposed to have a lot of pages, try putting it in the report footer, which only prints once, at the end of the report.
I have a feeling it won't work in the page header or report header because they seem to be created before data is queried.

Thousands stranded at airports in Christmas holiday travel nightmare
Dozens of flights have been canceled across the US on Christmas Eve due to Covid staff shortages with thousands of passengers stuck at the airports and others forced to cancel holidays altogether.
"The nationwide spike in Omicron cases this week has had a direct impact on our flight crews and the people who run our operation. As a result, we've unfortunately had to cancel some flights and are notifying impacted customers in advance of them coming to the airport," Chicago-based United Airlines said in a statement.
United did not specify how many flights have been affected by Covid-related issues, but according to media reports, about 120 got canceled, with Delta saying that it has canceled 90.
The Atlanta-based Delta said that prior to this decision its teams "have exhausted all options and resources – including rerouting and substitutions of aircraft and crews to cover scheduled flying."
This follows a call to US authorities by Delta CEO Ed Bastian, who asked to cut quarantine for fully vaccinated people to five days from the current 10. As a reason for his request, he cited Covid-related staff shortages. Earlier, JetBlue and the trade group Airlines for America addressed the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with similar requests.
According to an American Automobile Association forecast, more than 109 million people – almost 34% more than in 2020 – "will travel 50 miles or more as they hit the road, board airplanes or take other transportation out of town" between December 23 and January 2. Out of these 109 million, 6.4 million are going to travel by air.
Passengers affected by delays and cancellations took to Twitter to express their frustration over the unfortunate start to the holidays.
"My international flight just got canceled 5 hours before I have to leave for the airport. Canceling my family Christmas reunification. The wait to speak to a cust serv rep is 3, 4 hours according to the machine. I need help now. Please," wrote one of the users tagging Delta airlines.

NC says:
Gee….I guess they were dumb enough to not realize months ago that this was going to happen. It ain't rocket science. They should have scheduled a flight a week or two earlier and celebrated then.
Dani Va says:
I'll add to that. I'm thinking that they shouldn't have taken 'rona test before traveling. You have no symptoms, but you're still shoving Qtips up your nose? 'Cuz "they" said so?

Change is inevitable. With today's fluctuating economy, rapidly evolving technology and multiple generations in the workplace, a long-timer can mean someone who's been with a company for three years. This means the employer/employee relationship has to change – the paradigms have shifted. So how do you attract and retain talented employees? It starts with a strong culture and part of that culture includes celebrating milestones. To make an impact, your company's service anniversary experience has to align with today's workplace.


Is defensive lineman B.J. Raji ready to be an effective starter for the Packers?
The next book in our off-season book club for Insiders is: "Green Bay Packers: Yesterday & Today" by Chuck Carlson. Carlson will join Insider subscribers for a chat on Thur., July 29. Submit questions.
The National Football League suspended Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly indefinitely and without pay for violating the league's substance abuse policy.
The suspension, announced Friday, will last at least through the 2010 season. Jolly is eligible to apply for reinstatement after Super Bowl XLV, but his future with the team is unclear. He signed a contract tender for one year in June and was set to make $2.521 million this season.
Jolly, 27, is scheduled to go to trial July 30 on charges he possessed more than 200 grams of codeine during a Houston traffic stop in July 2008.
The Packers had excused Jolly from their June minicamp, with coach Mike McCarthy saying the team felt "it's important for him to concentrate on his legal situation."
"Johnny is a good player that loves everything about the game of football. We appreciate the contributions he has made to the Packers the past four seasons. His focus and priorities now lie elsewhere - our thoughts are with him during this difficult personal time."
The team declined to comment further.
Jolly started all 16 games in each of the last two seasons and last year, his fourth, he led all Packers defensive linemen with 75 tackles.
B.J. Raji was Jolly's primary backup at end, but this summer the Packers made a major change on the defensive front. Raji is now the starting nose tackle, and Ryan Pickett will slide over to left defensive end. That leaves Cullen Jenkins on the right side.
Perhaps anticipating the loss of Jolly for the year, the Packers used their second-round draft pick on defensive end Mike Neal out of Purdue.
It might seem unusual for Jolly to receive a season-long suspension, but it is possible for a player to progress through earlier phases of the NFL's substance abuse program without public knowledge.
Typically, a player with violations goes through Stages One, Two and Three of the program with increasing punishments.
"Repeat violations lead to increased discipline," said NFL senior vice president of public relations Greg Aiello. "It's not announced when, for instance, a player may be entered into the program. If a player tests positive and is put in the program, there is no public knowledge of that."
A first violation puts a player in the program. A second violation earns a fine, a third violation a four-game suspension. There may be a six- or eight-game suspension if there is a lack of cooperation from the player, or a season-long suspension with the player's next violation.
A player can enter the drug program for an arrest involving substances of abuse, physical or behavioral symptoms or a positive test.
If a player is in Stage Three, it means he has multiple violations of the drug policy (which include testing positive, missing a test, failing to take part in treatment). According to the policy, a player has to have at least two violations while in Stage Two just to get to Stage Three.
"You could go from being entered into the program to a one-year suspension if you have multiple violations within a period of time before you can get to the four-game suspension," said Aiello.
It's a possibility Jolly was informed he was going to be suspended, perhaps for four games, sometime during 2009 and had appealed. It can take six to eight months for an appeal to be resolved, as in the case of Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing. No announcement is made until the appeal is exhausted. Often only the player knows of his suspension; the team isn't informed until the appeal process is through.
One twist to Jolly's suspension is the "indefinite" terminology. A Stage Three violator usually is given a calendar year suspension, much the way receiver Koren Robinson was suspended a few years ago.
But the NFL statement said Jolly's suspension is indefinite and that Jolly may apply for reinstatement after the Super Bowl, which would be shorter than a calendar year.
"It doesn't necessarily apply in this case," Aiello said of a full calendar year suspension. "He is going to miss the entire 2010 season. The determination will be made next year if he reapplies as to when he can return. It might not necessarily be a full calendar year to July 16. It will definitely be the entire 2010 season."
Jolly can reapply "after the Super Bowl - and then there's a process to that. So that doesn't mean he is reinstated at that point," said Aiello.
Jolly was notified of his suspension by the NFL in writing, said Aiello. Jolly's agent, Brian Overstreet, did not return messages seeking comment.
In Texas, Jolly faces a second-degree felony charge that carries a sentence of between two and 20 years if convicted.
Assistant Harris County District Attorney Todd Keagle in Houston said recently he intends to present evidence that Jolly not only possessed more than 200 grams of codeine, but that he was an active participant in the drug trade from approximately 2006 through May 2008, when he "bought, sold, funded, transported and aided in the buying, selling, funding and transportation of illegal narcotics including cocaine and marijuana" in Harris County.
The prosecutor also intends to introduce evidence that during the same period, Jolly was seen smoking marijuana and consuming liquid codeine; that Jolly "showed deception" during a polygraph test in May when asked about his use of alcohol, marijuana and street narcotics while on bond since Dec. 15; and that he had attended nightclubs and bars and consumed alcohol since December, in violation of his bond.
On Friday, Keagle said nothing had changed in the case, which is still expected to go to trial July 30. He also said he didn't think the NFL's decision will have any bearing on the trial.
Michelle E. Beck, Jolly's defense attorney, disputed the allegations last month, saying, "We look forward to having our day in court."
Tom Silverstein and Greg A. Bedard of the Journal Sentinel staff and correspondent Ken Fountain contributed to this report.


Help me choose a baritone!
Discussion in 'Extended Range Guitars' started by TacticalRepublicanDildo, Apr 19, 2018.
It won't let me include my links to the specs, so I guess you'll just have to Google them..? Sorry about that.
Chapman ML1 Baritone or the ESP LTD Viper-201B?
My biggest concern right now is pickups. I can't find much about either set online, so I'm reaching out to you guys for help.
ESP LTD-150B/150N vs. Chapman Sonorous Zeros. Any experience with pickups from these guitars?
I really don't want to have to replace anything in these guitars, so I'm most likely to go with whatever has the better sounding pickups.. and these guitars are nowhere around me, so I cannot try them myself.
What do you want the guitar for? Metal?
the chapman pickups are pretty solid for stock pickups. I didn't like em as much as my agile baritone's stoc pickups but they're still solid. I'd go with that one if you're not too concerned with switching out the pickups anytime soon.
In all seriousness, I'm thinking the Chapman will most likely be the better guitar.. I just like the idea of saving $100 and being able to put that towards a Whammy!
ehh chapmans and ltd are relatively comparable as far as quality ime. it's more a matter of which specs you like more. I find that LTD/schecter tends to offer better specs for the buck when compared to similarly priced guitars.
Strobe and TacticalRepublicanDildo like this.
yup, that's me. I've tested a pile of pickups in that guitar.

Health officials confident Biden will deliver on promise of 100 million vaccines in…
Trump, top White House officials to receive coronavirus vaccine in coming days: reports – National
WASHINGTON, Dec 13 (Reuters) — U.S. President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and other top U.S. officials will be offered the newly approved COVID-19 vaccine within the coming days as part of a plan aimed at ensuring the continuity of government, according to a source familiar with the plans as well as reporting from New York Times and Associated Press.
Essential personnel at the White House and certain officials in all three branches of government were to be vaccinated within the next 10 days, said a Reuters source.

It was not immediately clear whether Trump would get the vaccine immediately, given that he has already contracted the novel coronavirus and recovered.
It was also not clear whether President-elect Joe Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and other members of Biden's transition team would be offered vaccinations.
A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory panel on Saturday recommended the nation's first COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE , as the U.S. COVID-19 death toll topped 298,000.

National Security Council spokesman John Ullyot said senior officials in the executive branch, Congress and judiciary would also receive vaccinations in line with a protocol aimed at ensuring the U.S. government can continue to operate during a pandemic or catastrophic emergency.
"The American people should have confidence that they are receiving the same safe and effective vaccine as senior officials of the United States government on the advice of public health professionals and national security leadership," Ullyot said in a statement.

"This will further ensure that the United States government will continue essential operations, without interruption, for our citizens as we continue to fight this pandemic and work toward a return to prosperity for our nation," the official said.

'IT' Writer Returning for 'Part Two,' Likely Hitting Theaters in 2019
Britt Hayes
Britt Hayes Published: September 7, 2017
Before the latest adaptation of Stephen King's IT even hit theaters, early box office predictions suggested anywhere from a $60 to $70 million opening. By contrast, this year's other big King adaptation, The Dark Tower, has grossed $47.9 million domestic in the month since its release. While we wait for the initial box office numbers to roll in, New Line is already developing a sequel to IT, but it probably won't hit theaters until 2019.
Per THR, New Line has set screenwriter Gary Dauberman to return for IT: Part Two, and although his is the only formal deal at the moment, director Andy Muschietti is also expected to return. Dauberman, whose other credits include the Annabelle movies, received co-writing credit for reworking Cary Fukunaga and Chase Palmer's script for IT.
Dauberman is already working on the screenplay for Part Two, which follows the cast almost 30 years later when they reunite as adults and return to their hometown to confront Pennywise again. The sequel may include flashback scenes that would require the young cast of the first film to return. Locking all of them in — as well as a cast of their adult counterparts — could be tricky (and somewhat costly). But the reception to IT has been largely positive thus far, with the film currently sitting at 88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and the opening weekend box office expected to more than justify the sequel.
Muschietti has already publicly expressed his commitment to complete the two-film series, so it probably won't be long before New Line officially announces his return. In the meantime, he has plenty of work on his plate: Muschietti stepped in to replace Scott Derrickson as showrunner on Locke & Key, Hulu's upcoming adaptation of Joe Hill's graphic novel series. (Hill, by the way, is Stephen King's son.) The director is also being eyed by Paramount for Dracul, the first prequel authorized by Bram Stoker's estate and written by the author's great-grand nephew, Dacre Stoker.

TRENDnet's first foray into NASes is the dual-bay BYOD TN-200. It holds two 3.5" SATA drives up to 4 TB in capacity that can be arranged into a two single-drive or one RAID 0, 1 or JBOD EXT4-formatted volume.
The TRENDnet TEW-800MB Dual Band Wireless Media Bridge is billed as an AC1200 class product. But since can connect only at maximum link rates of 867 Mbps in 5 GHz or 300 Mbps in 2.4 GHz, we class it as an AC867 product (its maximum connection rate).
The bridge has a built-in four-port Gigabit switch and supports easy setup via Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). The TEW-800MB is expected to start shipping in July for $159.99.
TRENDnet is still expanding its lower-priced, lower throughput N line with two routers, two access points and a PCI-e adapter. All products except the adapter support simultaneous dual-band operation at maximum link rates of 300 Mbps in both 2.4 and 5 GHz, making them N600 class. The TEW-726EC N600 Wireless Dual Band PCIe Adapter operates in only one band at a time, which SmallNetBuilder classes as a dual-band N300 product. It starts shipping in July at $39.99.
The TEW-752DRU and TEW-751DRU N600 Dual Band Wireless Routers differ in that the more expensive ($99.99) TEW-752-DRU has Gigabit ports and one USB (2.0) port for storage sharing. The TEW-751DRU ($84.99) has no share port and since the port speed isn't specified, we're assuming 10/100. Both support IPv6. The 751DRU starts shipping in August, with the 752DRU following in September.
For access points, TRENDnet is adding the high-end TEW-753DAP N600 Dual Band PoE Access Point. It can be powered by PoE (standard not specified) or DC adapter and supports up to 8 SSIDs per radio, WDS bridging and repeating, IPv6 and traffic shaping per SSID. Its $299.99 MSRP, however, is a bit high. Shipments start in August.
The last N600 addition is the more affordable TEW-750DAP N600 Dual Band Wireless Access Point ($79.99 MSRP). It has a built-in four-port 10/100 switch, supports WDS bridging and repeating and is IPv6 ready. It is the last product in the group to hit the shelves, this October.

Football's worst-kept secret: The heartbreaking truth behind child abuse in the UK
Miles Chambers
Players have shown enormous bravery by sharing their suffering with the world. Now there are clear calls to improve the UK law and ensure kids in sport are better protected
THE BRAVERY OF ANDY WOODWARD
Andy Woodward's career as a professional football player ended when he was 29 years old after spells at Crewe Alexandra, Bury, Sheffield United, Scunthorpe, Halifax and Northwich Victoria. He's not a name that would have been familiar to many football fans before November 16, the day he revealed his horrific sexual abuse at the hands of coach Barry Bennell.
The word 'brave' is bandied about carelessly in sports media ('what brave defending'; 'that was a brave tactical decision'), but when Woodward gave up his anonymity to publicly tell his harrowing story, it constituted real bravery.
Andrea Belotti is the new Vieri
Woodward's promising career was ruined by a paedophile who abused him from the age of 11 during his time at Crewe. His life was destroyed by Bennell, a man whom he had watched – in mortified silence – marry his sister. He has contemplated suicide several times as an adult because of torturous abuse he experienced decades ago as a child within the supposedly safe confines of a football club.
Abused by his coach who preyed on his dreams of being a pro player... He hopes speaking out will help others. https://t.co/HMTiNHk2Oi
— Victoria Derbyshire (@VictoriaLIVE) November 17, 2016
In his first interview with the Guardian, the former defender explained: "It was either threats of violence or Bennell would use football to manipulate control. If I upset him in any way, he'd drop me from the team. 'At any point,' he'd tell me, 'you will go, you will disappear and that dream won't happen.' It was emotional blackmail, all the time."
Mike Hartill, author of 'Sexual Abuse in Youth Sport' and senior lecturer at Edge Hill University, explains why football at a junior level is so appealing to those who want to groom children – and why they get away with it.
"Football, simply by virtue of the number of people that participate in it, will have more cases of abuse than other sports," he told Goal. "There is lots of child abuse that has occurred and been hidden and concealed.
"One thing we do know from sports cases is the power of the coach. The power of the individuals involved, it often means that they operate like families. We can all imagine how hard it would be to report a case of abuse on a family member."
A couragoeus & hugely significant disclosure by @AndyWoodward2 https://t.co/s8hBQKndmg See https://t.co/vvPkYeCAnL & https://t.co/ENwcp9XNlo
— Mike Hartill (@MikeHartill1) November 16, 2016
Bennell, now 62, was eventually jailed in 1998 for his barbaric crimes against multiple children. As well as preying on kids at Crewe, he had strong links to Stoke City and Manchester City as a coach and scout. Wales legend Gary Speed, who tragically committed suicide after a long battle with depression in 2011, was among those scouted by Bennell.
Woodward's bravery has opened a can of worms many in football would have secretly hoped would stay shut. The FA, to its credit, is one of the only sport governing bodies to commit significant financial resources to research their own practices and their own sport.
However, the FA is an institution and, like schools and religious organisations, it's driven by a desire to silence bad news. Ian Ackley is one of the victims who gave evidence to put Bennell behind bars in 1998 and he pulls no punches about the fact the FA has a lot to answer for in failing to protect children like him.
"I think the FA surely have an obligation to ensure that organisations under their control are making sure that children are being protected and that their welfare is paramount," Ackley, who was abused countless times over a four-year period by Bennell, told ITV. "They failed to do that and for me are equally as responsible as Bennell because they allowed him to prey on weak and vulnerable young people for years."
Eto'o faces over 10 years in jail
Woodward may have been the first to go public but he certainly won't be the last. More victims are already coming forward. On Tuesday, Steve Walters, a teenage wonderkid in the 1980s, described how Bennell also sexually abused him as a 13-year-old at Crewe Alexandra.
The following day, the Daily Mirror revealed the harrowing abuse suffered by ex-England international Paul Stewart. Stewart's abuse happened at the hands of a different man whom the newspaper didn't name. It's alleged by Stewart, now 52, that the youth coach had threatened to kill his family if he ever told anyone about the sexual crimes committed against him.

— David White (@david_white7) November 23, 2016
On Wednesday, another of Bennell's victims came forward: one-time England international David White. The revelations won't stop with him. When Woodward was asked in an interview with ITV if this could be 'the Jimmy Savile of football', the 43-year-old responded: "It's potentially worse than that."
HOW FOOTBALL FAILS KIDS
The risk of abuse is so prominent in the sport simply because so many children participate. In July, a survey conducted by the UK government found that 32 per cent of children in the country aged 5-to-10 have played football in the last four weeks, rising to 54% of all 11-to-15-year-olds in the same time span.
"The NSPCC conducted a study a few years ago," Hartill reveals, "on negative experiences in sport found in a study of over 6,000 university undergraduates that 29% had experienced sexual harassment in sport, 75% emotional harm, 24% physical harm and 3% sexual harm. That says to me that abuse in sport is a very serious and significant problem."
In 2015/16, 88.9 per cent of children aged 5-15 had taken part in sport: https://t.co/AIAfIjf0Cm pic.twitter.com/tz2BW0LZeK

So, when 43% of all children in the UK aged between five and 15 are playing football, even if just 3% of all those children suffer sexual harm, that's still tens of thousands of potential victims.
And that's assuming 3% is truly representative. Realistically, the fact that only university undergraduates aged 18-21 took part in the NSPCC study means all those children lost along the way – whose abuse made them ditch their favoured sport or exit education – are invisible from the statistics. If those victims were taken into account, the percentage would inevitably be higher.
Hartill's Edge Hill University run a campaign called 'Sports Respect Your Rights' that promotes awareness of exploitation, abuse and violence across all sports. It estimates that for every five children in Europe, one has suffered some form of sexual violence.
"The NSPCC, its Child Protection Support Unit [and] Sport England have put world-leading mechanisms in place," Hartill said, "but we still know far too little on the impact that's having on child welfare."
Defoe is Sunderland's shining light
Bennell's sentencing to nine years in jail in 1998 jolted the FA into creating a 'Charter for Quality' and pledging to rid the game of child abuse. While the actions of the FA were undoubtedly well-intentioned, absolutely nothing changed under UK law. The same systems that allowed him to molest children stayed in place – and remain in place 18 years later.
Tom Perry is the founder of Mandate Now, a pressure group seeking the introduction of mandatory reporting into UK law for people who work in regulated activities – places where the nature of the job means you work closely with children, such as a football coach.
This means that if you were a football coach and you noticed someone else at the club acting suspiciously towards the youth team, you would be under a statutory legal obligation to report it. Seventy-two per cent of Asia, 77% of Africa, 86% of Europe and 90% of the Americas operate some form of mandatory reporting. England, Wales and Scotland don't.
The current way that child protection works in the UK is that reporting on suspected abuse is discretionary – you don't have to do it. You should do, but you won't be held criminally accountable if you don't. Perry believes this allows for powerful forces of persuasion and denial to block the ability to report abuse.
"Let's just say I'm one of the most junior people involved in the academy and I notice something for the third time that raises my suspicions that something untoward could be happening," he says in a candid interview with Goal.
"If you're reporting it, you feel you have to collect all the evidence – that's impossible, but that's what people expect. And if you report and you are mistaken, you will be crucified.
"So, I turn up and I say 'I saw George go around the corner with this child, it's the third time I've seen it […] and someone looks at you and says, 'oh get lost you muppet, don't be a fool! George wouldn't do that'. And there you go.
"There are hundreds of routes up to the top – even up to the FA – where it can be buried. Were the child protection framework designed to fail, they couldn't have done a better job of it."
This anecdote is grounded in grim reality. Crewe Alexandra are now facing mounting pressure to explain how Bennell was able to abuse so many children on their watch.
Crewe's current director of football Dario Gradi denies any knowledge of Bennell's activities, despite allegations that at least one incident happened at his home. His comments in June 1998, three days after Bennell was convicted, perfectly illustrate why child protection malfunctions in football.
"Everyone at the club found it hard to believe he was guilty when he was first arrested," Gradi, who was Crewe's manager between 1983 and 2007, said. "When we first found out what had happened, we were very supportive. All this is now a long time ago and we were untouched by the court case this week. We are all just carrying on as normal."
On Thursday, Gradi "expressed sympathy to the victims of Bennell" and the club said it had opened an internal investigation. For the victims who have been haunted for decades by the abuse that happened on their watch, it's far too little, far too late.
"I feel massively let down by Crewe," Walters, the second footballer to reveal his abuses to the public, said last week. "There were always rumours going round about Crewe. The club need to get their heads out of the sand. It was the worst-kept secret in football that Barry had boys staying at his house but nobody at Crewe, as far as I can tell, used to think anything of it. Their reaction is scandalous, really."
Scholes backs Griezmann for Man Utd
Perry's campaign for better child protection laws stems from the fact he's also a victim of abuse in a sporting environment. As a pupil at Caldicott School in South Buckinghamshire, he suffered abuse at the hands of a rugby coach. It was a scandal that came to light in 2008 in the documentary Chosen.
"Sport is just like schools – they're Petri dishes for abuse," Perry adds. "You've got the holy trinity for perpetrators. They're close to the people they target, they've got power, secrecy and opportunity, and furthermore there is no requirement to report abuse. You have a perfect environment for abusers."
Failing to clamp down on child abuse within an institution can have enormously harmful consequences if another abuser gets wind of such activities going unpunished, as Perry describes.
"The power the perpetrator has over a club or a setting is huge. It's deeply worrying. What I've learnt is within sport there's an overwhelming desire to make sure bad news doesn't reach daylight. Conflicted and misguided administrators try to keep the daylight away from concerns and offences, when you actually want the daylight in."
Crewe can close its curtains and pretend nobody's home as the media doorsteps them over child abuse claims. It can pretend it hasn't buried its head in the sand for decades. Its chairman can tell his employees to "keep out of it" in the hope the problem will go away.
However, all Crewe are doing is proving how broken the child protection system is in football.
CHILD ABUSE DOESN'T END IN CHILDHOOD
The NSPCC is the 10th-best funded charity in the UK in terms of fundraising income. In 2014/15, the child protection charity raised £109.9 million from donations. However, the difference in funding towards child abuse survivors who make it to adulthood is stark.
The National Association for People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC) is the leading UK charity for supporting that enormous but invisible group of people. It received just £90,000 in donations – that's less than 1% of the figure the NSPCC receives – for 2014/15, its annual turnover was just under £420,000 and it operates with only 10 staff.
"The support for adult survivors has been neglected for a long, long time," Kath Stipala, NAPAC's head of public affairs, tells Goal. "The issue of what happens to people who were abused in childhood, and the impacts on them into adulthood, have been neglected and still are. It's a major public health issue.
"There's sort of an understanding that children get abused. But what happens for people's adult lives… they may have relationship problems, mental health problems, it might affect their ability to work, their trust may have been destroyed, the impact is really severe on many people."
That's certainly true of the footballers who shared their stories this month with the UK public. Walters, Crewe's youngest debutant in 1988, arrived at the club a completely different person to when he left after months of abuse from Bennell.
"Before I went to Crewe, I was full of life, full of energy," he said. "But it knocked the stuffing out of me. I was a confident, outgoing person but sometimes now I can just go into a shell. I have nightmares sometimes and sleeping problems. My wife tells me how I've woken up and, straight away, sat bolt upright. I don't even know I'm doing it. I can have little periods where I am fine but then something might trigger it off."
Messi is the total footballer
The aftermath of years of abuse for Woodward were just as awful, sometimes hitting him during the middle of games. He said: "The match reports will say I pulled my hamstring but that was just the excuse I used. I'd actually had another full-blown panic attack. We were midway through the first half. I went down to my knees and I just knew I had to get off the pitch. I went to the dressing room and started crying my eyes out, thinking my whole life was ending."
Woodward and Walters are estimated to be among at least 5 million survivors of child abuse scattered across the UK. An NSPCC report in July 2014 estimated the annual cost of child sexual abuse to the country as £3.2 billion. That's taking into account the impact on the NHS, the justice system, social services and the impact of productivity.
It's a colossal figure and, in the eyes of abuse victim charities such as NAPAC, the best chance of tackling it is by increasing the child safety measures in environments like football academies.
The Prime Minister, Theresa May, has previously dismissed the introduction of mandatory reporting into UK law, but, Stipala points out, she's not basing this on the latest evidence which shows it works.
"She's correct in that if you bring in mandatory reporting, there will be an increase in reports," Stipala adds, "and if you haven't got the infrastructure to deal with that, it's going to be a problem. But it isn't actually going to be a problem that there will be a lot of false or trivial reports, it'll just be that there will be a lot more substantiated reports of abuse. Teachers aren't suddenly going to start making fictitious reports."
If Walters is right that it was an open secret at Crewe that Bennell had boys staying at his house all the time, with mandatory reporting there would have been a greater chance of the abuse being raised to authorities.
Hartill says: "We know from previous cases that abuses have often come to light and not officially been reported. I think we need mandatory reporting, the history of child abuse in our country and the extent to which children have clearly been led down by organisations means that we need something considerably stronger."
The story of Ronaldo's childhood
Yet despite the positive impact experts believe it could have on preventing child abuse from occurring in sports like football, the UK government stubbornly refuses to see it as financially viable. Mandate Now's Perry has torn into what he perceives to be a painfully short-sighted approach.
"Whether it's a school or a football club, the great and good who run these organisations don't want anything happening on their watch," Perry says, "and when you've got suspected abuse – and you're allowed to ignore it because there is no law to report – then I'm afraid you're in for eternal trouble.
"The government believes that it's going to be an issue of cost and resource but it fails to look at the savings stemming from reductions in crime by abuse victims, drug addiction, prison benefits, and the huge cost to mental health. Until such time as there is mandatory reporting, no reliance can be placed on child protection in any of these settings. That's the problem."
Woodward's child abuse revelations are already having life-changing impacts – and not just in the glare of the UK media, but behind closed doors too. "Since Andy's first interview it has been nearly all male callers to our support line, normally it is one in four," Stipala says. "The number of men visiting our website has gone up by 60% in the past few days."
At least six people are believed to have approached Cheshire Police to report child sex abuse at Crewe Alexandra since Woodward waived his right to anonymity. "I'm convinced there is an awful lot more to come out," he said. "We were victims in a profession where we were all so desperate to succeed as footballers. We all suffered the same pain."
Perry believes "everything's different" now that footballers are speaking out in public about their abuses for the first time. He believes that unless the law is changed, many more kids who aspire to be the next Marcus Rashford or having a career like Steven Gerrard's will lose their way at the hands of predators who manipulate the system.
GOAL 50: 50-1
"The government has got to be made to address it, it'll make everybody safer, and it'll make those who are working with children a lot safer as well," he adds. "Because if they feel they have something to report, the law that exists will protect them. They don't have that at the moment.
"You're placing your child into a place of training [...] where nobody has that power. That's why Jimmy Savile got away from it all that time. It was power, that's why he got away from it and it's an appalling situation.
"It's a huge problem and sadly it's been out of sight. But thanks to people like Andy Woodward and the efforts of lots of other people as well from all different walks of life, gradually this is starting to bubble to the surface. This is the start of something that will carry on rolling now."
If you want to report non-recent child sexual abuse crimes, please call the police on 101.
If you're an adult survivor of sexual abuse in childhood in the UK, you can call NAPAC's free confidential support line on 0808 801 0331.
If you're a child who is suffering from sexual abuse, you can call NSPCC's helpline on 0808 800 5000.
Don't suffer in silence, you're not alone. If you need someone to talk to, you can contact The Samaritans on 116 123.

Biden Tax Proposals
, Blog Posts, Inequality, Personal Finance, Taxes, Texas
I am attempting to model good financial writer behavior by inserting some actual boring tax policy discussion into presidential politics. From what I can glean from media over the past year, the presidential race was declared an entirely policy-free zone. But we should care a lot about boring tax policies!
Now that Biden is heading to the Presidency 1 what the heck did he promise in terms of tax policy changes?
Biden's proposals on two headline tax rates essentially indicate a rollback of marginal tax rates to Obama-era levels.
For individual taxpayers, Biden proposes a 39.6 percent top tax rate. That's up from the current 37 percent. This represents a return to the top income tax rate in effect through 2017.
Biden also proposes a 28 percent corporate tax rate, an increase from the current 21 percent corporate tax rate. Still, 28 percent represents a lower corporate tax rate than the United States had on the books between 1994 and 2017.
Biden's most common campaign slogan with respect to taxes was that people making less than $400,000 per year will not pay higher taxes. Obviously, by implication, he's warning us (promising us?) that higher income folks will see a rise in their taxes. This rise comes most clearly from targeted changes that would affect the wealthy, and/or the more highly-compensated among us.
For individuals making more than $400,000 per year, Biden proposes a 12.4 percent payroll withholding tax specifically for Social Security. I think that's mostly where Biden's $400,000 claim comes from since it's a new, and clear, tax hike.
More subtly, but probably more importantly, Biden proposes taxing capital gains more highly in certain cases. Taxes on money made from selling appreciated assets – capital gains – are potentially more important to wealthy folks than taxes on earned income. Biden's plan would charge higher capital gains taxes for households that make more than $1 million per year.
Currently, capital gains tax rates are lower than earned income tax rates. Which, if you ask me, has a lot more to do with who funds political campaigns than it has to do with the moral or economic merits of taxing wealth at a lower rate than income, or any other justification for rewarding capital over labor. Biden's proposal doesn't upset that apple cart – this traditional tax-code preference for capital over labor. Rather, it says that if you make more than $1 million per year, you don't get a tax break just because you make money on your wealth rather than on your labor. I'm probably wrong to think this but I feel like if you earn over a million dollars per year, you can survive (maybe, barely) paying a regular tax rate like the people who make a living through their labor. Call me a Socialist, whatever.
Also in the category of tax proposals applying to the few, but sadly not me: Biden has proposed that people worth between $50 million or more would pay a 2 percent wealth tax, rising to a 6 percent tax rate for those with a $1 billion net worth. This seems terribly unfair. Specifically, unfair in the sense that I wouldn't get to pay that tax. I aspire to pay that tax some day. I want to be in a position to pay that tax. And, I will promise to not complain about it, when the time comes. You can hold my feet to the fire on that one.
Graphic from Vox, December 2019
Another Biden proposal affects folks who inherit wealth. This proposal is captured by the phrase "eliminating stepped-up basis," and the meaning is that inherited assets would not continue to enjoy a massive tax break. Like the capital gains tax proposal, this is a targeted tax change that has huge implications for wealthy heirs as well as the folks who do estate planning. It has very few implications for non-wealthy people who do not inherit highly appreciated assets.
Finally, Biden has not specifically made estate tax proposals, but he did sign off on some Biden/Sanders "unity" principles in July 2020, including rolling back estate taxes to 2009 levels. Those 2009 estate tax levels were set by the Socialistic Bush/Cheney administration.
There are a few other detailed tax credits and exemptions, but that covers most of Biden's big tax proposals.
Now, the Political Reality
After January 2021, there's a strong chance that the Senate remains in Republican hands, making most of Biden's tax proposals backburner issues.2
Sweeping tax reform is also not something I've noticed is a priority for Democrats. Between COVID emergency stimulus, health care plans, and a Green New Deal, tax reform isn't really on-brand for the 2021 Democratic Party. Still, we should at least understand where the incoming President's head is at, with respect to tax reform.

As of this writing two Georgia Senate run-off races will happen in January. Democratic candidates would have to win both to allow for a 50-50 split in the Senate (tie-broken by Vice President Kamala Harris). It feels like something as complex as comprehensive tax reform is unlikely to pass with this kind of squeaker of a vote majority, even in the unlikely event that Democrats win both races. ↩

Verizon expands device lab to add new 5G & IoT testing
Via Verizon Wireless Newsroom
BASKING RIDGE, NJ - Have you ever wondered what goes into making sure your smartphone works on the Verizon 4G LTE network? It likely made its way through our testing lab, just as every device does before becoming available to consumers, government or business customers. And it's not just smartphones. Any device that connects to our network has to go through rigorous, extensive testing before it's ready for customers.
The number of device types on our network is growing – from tablets, smartwatches and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for consumers, to a range of enterprise devices. By 2021, it's estimated there will be 47 billion connected devices worldwide.
With so many new devices and network capabilities coming online, we conduct rigorous testing behind-the-scenes to make sure your new device works out of the box. This is why we've just finished the expansion of our device testing lab, adding 13 additional testing rooms to our existing 10,000 square foot test facility in Bedminster, New Jersey.
These rooms are packed with leading-edge testing technology that put devices, enhanced 4G LTE features, Internet of Things (IoT) applications and 5G to the test. Device manufacturers and partners have access to the facility, working alongside our engineers to collaborate on multiple devices to run on the nation's most reliable network.
In the last five years, the device team:
has conducted over 1 million tests
has tested roughly 2,500 software and hardware combinations
has taken a comprehensive approach to testing. For example, the typical device goes through 1-3 software upgrades before getting approved to be used on the Verizon wireless network
"Our Network team is constantly deploying the latest technologies to enhance the customer experience. Operating the best network for our customers and maintaining our overwhelming lead over the competition is our passion," said Mike Haberman, VP of Network Operations. "We will continue to lead the industry in network performance, and our team of dedicated engineers in the field and in our device lab are critical to make that happen."

In a complete flip of the expected, Charleston Mayor Danny Jones, a Republican, got into a heated debate with West Virginia Democratic Senate Majority Leader John Unger over a new pro-gun law sponsored by Unger.
The intent of the law was to create uniform gun laws throughout West Virginia, which eliminates many city gun ordinances, according to WOWK 13.
Jones, who is a member of Michael Bloomberg's group "Mayors Against Illegal Guns," was concerned about the law allowing people to carry guns at venues such as swimming pools, tennis courts and after-school centers.
Appearing on a local program aired a couple of weeks back, he and Unger, who sponsored the new law, went at it over whether that is true or not.
The majority leader stated that a person can't carry a gun into a municipally owned or operated building, to include city hall, with host Bray Cary agreeing with him. The mayor adamantly disagreed.
Now when is the last time you've heard a Republican accusing a Democrat of that?


Located near states like Arizona, California, and Texas, it's clear that New Mexico has a sizable and important truck driving industry. Companies all over the southwestern United States rely on truck drivers to transport goods throughout the region or throughout the country. If you would rather work for yourself than for a trucking company, it's time to consider becoming an owner-operator. Owner-operators in New Mexico can set their own routes, land their own clients, and set their own rates. Learn more about this exciting business opportunity if you want the freedom that being an owner-operator can bring.
New Mexico has a growing need for truck drivers, which may make it easier for you to land clients and offer prompt, professional service. Per O*Net, the demand for truck drivers may increase by 9% between 2010 and 2020. This growth rate is relatively close to the national average (O*Net, 2010).
Your truck driving salary is determined largely by how hard you work and how much you market your services. O*Net reports that the average salary for a truck driver is $37,800 per year. However, your salary may be significantly more or less, depending on how many miles you drive and how much you charge.
The first step to starting a trucking business is getting your commercial driver's license. You may find it more beneficial to earn a Class A license, rather than a Class B license, since a Class A license gives you the freedom to transport larger loads and drive larger trucks. This may be a selling point when you try to get clients.
A major part of your training involves becoming familiar with New Mexico driving laws and standards. This can help you drive legally and safely no matter where your routes take you. Your instructors can also teach you how to perform a vehicle inspection and determine whether or not your vehicle is safe to drive. Hands-on training is crucial! You can plan on driving over 1,000 miles with an instructor. At this point, you can apply for your driver's license through the Motor Vehicle Department of New Mexico.
Once you have a valid commercial driver's license, you can get your business up and running. The New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department oversees business licensing. You must meet all of their requirements before you can begin working.

The Geography of Genius
Author Eric Weiner on the places where creativity thrives and why governments won't create the next Silicon Valley.
Meredith Bragg | 1.22.2016 10:20 AM
Renaissance Florence, Enlightenment Edinburgh, Mozart's Vienna: why have certain places at certain times created such monumental leaps in thought and innovation? This is the question at the heart of travel writer Eric Weiner's latest book, The Geography of Genius: A Search for the World's Most Creative Places, From Ancient Athens to Silicon Valley.
"This is a book about process, about how creative genius happens and what are the circumstances," Weiner explains. "I believe in the power of place and the power of culture to shape our lives in unexpected ways."
Traveling the globe, Weiner looked at the locations and cultures that fostered history's greatest minds. Through his research he pieced together a list of ingredients he believes played a vital role in creating these "genius clusters," including money, diversity, competition, and disorder.
"A little bit of chaos is good," says Weiner. "The pot has to be stirred. If you are fully invested in the status quo—either as a person or a place—you are unlikely to create genius because you are too comfortable."
So can a government build a city that will generate the geniuses of tomorrow? Weiner thinks not. "I wish I could sit here and tell you that there was a formula and if you applied that formula you could create the next Silicon Valley," he says. "There is no formula."
