Leslie Bois, Vice President, Global Channel and Alliances, who joined Veracode back in December, shares her thoughts on all things top of mind with Veracode partners. Learn more about where Veracode is going and what partners can expect to see throughout the year.
1) Now that you have a full quarter at Veracode under your belt, what should partners be most excited about?
This is easy. Partners should be extremely excited to work with such a great company. Every department within Veracode that I've met with and worked with is fully committed to supporting our partners in any way they can to make them successful. The leadership team at Veracode invests so much in making its employees happy, so employees take same approach to making our customers and partners happy too, which is clear through our innovation, products, and support.
2) What are your key goals for 2017 and how will you measure success?
My key goal in moving to a partner led model in 2017 is to triple the amount of business that goes through partners. I will measure this is not only by revenue but also looking at the number of partners that are trained, enabled and selling. Deal Registration will be a key indicator because it will show us the number of partners who are creating opportunities and bringing Veracode into their customers.
3) Veracode's partner program recently received its first ever CRN 5-star designation, what does this mean for you and your partners?
For me this is complete validation that Veracode is headed in the right direction and doing the right things to support and grow our partner community. This is good news for partners because it means Veracode's program is maturing and that the company is investing in the program because it expects partners to play an even more important role in our go-to-market strategy. We will continue to evolve the program by adding resources, programs, and tools that will help Partners grow profitable businesses with Veracode.
4) Veracode has had a lot of news in the last few months. Can you break down what this mean to partners?
Everything is software related and it's a software-defined world right now. Application Security (AppSec) is only going to continue to grow and grow. Our enhancements to our Application Security Platform enables developers to work faster and more securely across more applications, bringing us very far left in the Software Development Lifecycle.
We are extremely excited to be part of Veracode because it has really invested in next-generation technologies, realizes Veracode is a leader in AppSec and wants to invest in our Application Security Platform. The backing and leverage of CA will accelerate Veracode's roadmap to achieve our mission and will provide Partners with a rich set of products that solve AppSec issues. Whether it is investments in the areas of sales enablement, technical support or R&D, Partners will benefit from all of it.
5) You travel a lot to meet partners – how do you take care of yourself when you're on the road? What do you like to do in your spare time when you are home?
I am on a plane every other week so when I'm on the road I try to take care of myself. I drink a lot of water and pack my own snacks for the plane. My sneakers make it on every trip so I can work out at the hotel or jog around the city. I also try to squeeze in a little fun and experience the city's local cuisine and scene. Technology helps me stay really connected with my family and makes it easier to be away from home. We try to FaceTime every night before bed to show them where I am and what I'm doing. When I am home I spend as much time as possible with my family – relaxing, doing house chores, attending my children's soccer games and trying to be a good mom.
6) You've been working in the channel for the majority of your career. What is the secret sauce to being successful with Partners?
Motivating Partners to sell on your behalf is very different from motivating the direct salesforce. What I learned early on is it's all about the activities and actions to support Partners that makes them want to sell your products. The best channel sales leaders build intimate relationships with their Partners to develop a deep level of trust and learn about their Partners' business models to bring them the right sales opportunities which motivates them sell on your behalf.

World Book day is back and if you've got kids you may have found yourself up most of the night pulling together a last minute costume with any bits and bobs you could find! Here at GB Hospitality, we are big literary fans and love participating in the day in any way we can! But, seeing as we are a bit old too old to get dressed up as our favourite characters *sob* we thought we'd share with you our top hospitality reads that are perfect for those lazy weekends on the sofa with a glass of wine!
If you love a good read with a autobiographical spin, then sit back and relax with Blanc's piece of literature. It's perfectly detailed, informative and allows the readers to follow him on his journey from being a young boy right through to owning and running his own leading restaurants. He shares everything he loves about life (mostly food) and his defining life moments. We highly recommend.
One of the best things about travelling is always the food - and this is exactly what Stein captures in his book, Long Weekends. He's travelled over 10 European Cities to create over 100 amazing recipes, including destinations such as Berlin, Lisbon, Vienna and Reykjavik. They are mostly quick, easy and delicious recipes that are perfect for the weekend and to make your guests feel like they're on their holidays!
Although this is obviously primarily aimed at those Game of Thrones Fans among us, this is one of those books that will make you go wow. The show is forever showing some of the most mouthwatering dishes around and nows the chance for us all to re-create something fantastic. Our favourite meal HAS to be The Wall recipe which is made up of a Rack of Lamb and Herbs, Pork Pie, Mutton in Onion-ale Broth: mulled wine: pease Porridge. Divine!
For those of you who might not have encountered World Book Day before, it's a day that celebrates authors, illustrators and of course, the happiness reading a book can bring! For years, supermarkets and leading retailers have spent time encouraging schools to give every child the opportunity to read - and providing them with book tokens to allow them to buy a selection of books for only £1. The day was created by UNESCO back in 1995 mainly to promote copyright and publishing and has been a success ever since. The first original date was held on April 23rd - more commonly known as the anniversary of Shakespeare's death.
Let us know what books you'll be reading today over on Twitter!
Although alcohol is not often associated with a healthy lifestyle, there are certain spirits that have been scientifically proven to be good for us including our ultimate favourite, Gin! Believe it or not, years ago it was actually used as medicine and has since evolved into the drink we know and love today. So, if you're wondering whether you should that mid-week tipple, we've pulled together a few reasons why you should!
Instead of spending money on expensive anti-aging creams, a glass of gin will give you all the goodness your skin needs. Gin is made with Juniper berries that are full of antioxidants that help restore your skin, keeping it fresh-looking youthful and wrinkle-free.
As we all know, alcohol is one of the fastest and easiest ways to put weight on *sigh*. BUT, there is some good news...Gin has the least amount of calories in any alcoholic drink (yippee)! If you're watching what you eat and drink, you'll be fine sticking to a glass of Gin which only has around 100 calories in.
Gin is made with herbs that help with the digestive enzymes allowing food to be broken down quicker, helping it improve digestion. And as it contains antioxidants it reduces that bloated feeling that comes on after a couple of drinks keeping your stomach flatter.
Well seeing as it's practically a medicine, it's been noted as a great cure for bugs that we might pick up! Juniper berries are supposedly good for helping prevent chest problems in the lungs and coughs as the oil in them helps clean out mucus that might be lurking around.
And apparently drinking Gin moderately will reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The ingredients within it have been proven to help with the inside of the body such as making your veins stronger and stopping your arteries being clogged.
So there you have it...Gin really is good for us! Now if you're deciding what to have yours with, make sure you check out our gin cocktails post here.

Houston Rockets Postgame Locker Room Visit Embarrasses NBA
Jerry Barca Contributor
Trevor Ariza restrained by an assistant coach. (Harry How/Getty Images)
It's a bad day for the NBA.
It didn't need to be, but it is.
Tempers simmered and boiled over during the Houston Rockets 113-102 loss at the Los Angeles Clippers. There were ejections, f-bombs, balls thrown at players and some ripped leggings. That happens. Well, maybe not the leggings, but the rest is nothing new. It's what happened after the game that is ridiculous, embarrassing and demeans the NBA.
According to reports, police were called to step in and remove Rockets players from the Clippers' locker room area. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowksi reported that Rockets players Trevor Ariza, Gerald Green, James Harden and Chris Paul, a former Clipper, "marched through a back corridor and into the Clippers' locker room late Monday night, suggesting that they wanted to confront Clippers players Austin Rivers and Blake Griffin."
This is not what the league worked to become. In the search for an appealing identity in the post-Jordan era the NBA suffered through the disgraceful Malice at the Palace and the series of sad stories about high school phenoms failing to become anything in a men's professional league. But that's not today's NBA. Today, we have beautiful play of the Golden State Warriors. The never-before-seen power and play of LeBron James and the always-winning Gregg Popovich-coached San Antonio Spurs. When football leaves the screen, the NBA on Saturday night grabs our attention.
The league has seen players harness their power and lead on social causes. High school kids can't jump directly into the draft anymore. Superstars are role models. They give back to their communities in ways that can forever alter that community's future.
The Clippers players, when Paul was on the team, helped oust the team's owner because of racist comments. The NBA pulled it's All-Star game out of Charlotte because of North Carolina's House Bill 2, which prohibited rights of those in the LGBT community. Players have taken a stand against police brutality, wearing "I Can't Breathe" T-shirts in warmups to give attention to the death of Eric Garner, who died after being put in a chokehold by police. James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Paul opened the 2016 ESPY awards with a sobering message about race, police violence and community accountability.
This is the progressive, socially conscious NBA, a league leading the way. The NBA has underscored Martin Luther King Day with marquee matchups and tributes to the civil rights leader. The nightcap for this year's Martin Luther King Day slate of games was the embarrassment in Los Angeles.
What was Paul, the head of the players union thinking? What were the other players thinking?
Physical play on the court is ok. Trash talking is part of the game. It all happens within the confines of competition. It's not pretty, but it's allowed.
But charging toward the other team's locker room after the game? To what? Fight? That's laughable and childish. Worse, though, it disregards and misrepresents what the league has built itself into. The players should know better.
By taking steps toward the Clippers locker room, those Rockets players took a step back for the league they represent.
Barkley and Shaq reacting to Chris Paul invading the Clippers locker room and requiring a "police presence" gotta be the greatest thing these eyes have ever seen pic.twitter.com/UYFxGPNTNi

The 2230 Sequenced Termination Unit (STU) is installed at the ends of monitored cables and branch cables. The STU terminates the line to facilitate end-to-end testing of the cable sheath for all branches.
STU may be terminated in a structure or a splice closure. Input leads are present for moisture detection or security monitoring. Each branch cable is tested separately and in sequence to facilitate locating cable trouble. The STU does not draw any nominal current allowing monitoring of up to 20 terminations on a single cable. The STU is well suited for long haul and dense metropolitan cable configurations. Another version of the Sequenced Termination Unit contains a photocell which is triggered when the splice closure is opened and the contents are exposed to light.


ROME, July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alenia Aeronautica, a Finmeccanica company, successfully completed destructive testing on the horizontal stabilizer of the Boeing (NYSE: BA) 787 Dreamliner. The test took place at Alenia's Pomigliano plant in Naples with Boeing engineers and representatives of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in attendance. The stabilizer is made at the Alenia Aeronautica plant at Foggia in Italy's Puglia region.
Previous physical testing had shown that the horizontal stabilizer meets its certification requirement to withstand 150 percent of the maximum aerodynamic load it ever could encounter in flight. Once Alenia engineers proved that, they then tested the horizontal stabilizer to see just much load the horizontal stabilizer could withstand before failure. In that test, the structure did not break until well in excess of the required 150 percent of limit load. The destructive test was the culmination of seven months of testing conducted by Alenia and Boeing.
"This is quite an achievement," said Nazario Cauceglia, Alenia Aeronautica's chief technical officer. "The test validates the innovative multispar design concept and consolidates the spirit of cooperation established between Alenia and Boeing engineers on this difficult task, and on the entire 787 program."
"Successful completion of the 787 horizontal stabilizer failure test marks the culmination of an innovative design and development activity," said Randy Harley, vice president and general manager, 787 Engineering and Technology. "Working together, the 787 team has once again confirmed the power of an integrated partnership."
Previous tests at Pomigliano gauged the structure's capability to withstand various extremes in aerodynamic pressures, such as upward and downward deflection and extreme asymmetric loads.
With static testing complete, Alenia now will proceed to fatigue testing. Alenia engineers at Pomigliano will subject a complete horizontal stabilizer to repeated flexing, meant to demonstrate the stabilizer's ability to carry repeated operational load cycles representative of its design life. To obtain certification the tail will be tested to at least three times its design life. The testing program is slated to conclude with Boeing conducting a bird strike test at its facilities in the U.S.

Q: compare data with month from previous year in Qlikview I'm relatively new at Qlikview and wanted to compare some data from a selected year with its previous year.
In Qlikview I have a table in which i show the count of all the contacts there have been with the customer per mount [=count(contactsID)] with the dimension [contacts.month]
I want to show an other expression with the contacts with customers in the same month a year before.
So if my table shows all the contacts from jan-2014 until dec-2014 I want a bar next to every month with the months jan-2013 until dec-2013
for example jan-2013/jan-2014; feb-2013/feb-2014; etc
some extra information:
In the database is a date saved. In Qlikview i load that as:
load
date as contact.date,
Year(date) as contact.year,
Month(date) as contact.month,
Day(date) as contact.day;

If anybody could help i would be very grateful! Thanks to all of you in advance!

A: I got the answer on the Qlikview community!
Add expression as:
count({<contact.year={$(=contact.year-1)}>}ContactID)

http://community.qlik.com/message/517136#517136

A: You can solve this problem at the script side while loading data. So that you can compare year to date data with previous year with until corresponding month.
Transaction_Table:
 LOAD date,productID,amount
 FROM data.qvd;

concatenate

 Load AddYears(date,1) as date,productID,amount_1
 Resident data where date<=AddYears($(=max(date)),-1);

There will be two coloumns "amount" is current date's data and "amount_1" is previous year's same day data.

If travelers in Copenhagen can be trusted, then why not forest managing communities in the Asia-Pacific?
I had a realization recently. It came during my trip to Copenhagen after years of working in the Asia - Pacific region: local communities in many Asia - Pacific countries are trusted less than travelers in Copenhagen. In Copenhagen, although everyone is expected to have a ticket while using the public transportation system, nobody is required to go through the process of actually showing their ticket to enter a train or metro. Copenhagen is not an exception; it can be seen in many other locations as well!
Ironically, while people, including outsiders, are trusted in one part of the world, local communities in another part of the world who have conserved and managed forests for generations are asked to go through several processes that are complex and costly before they can benefit from their forests.
As a member of The Center for People and Forests (RECOFTC), I work with and for local communities in the Asia - Pacific region who try to manage their forests sustainably. In the region, mainly South and Southeast Asia, I engage in research to identify the support needed by local communities and stakeholders to effectively manage forests and benefit from them. One of our consistent finding, which I recently shared at the Timber Legality Research Symposium in Copenhagen, is that local communities are required to put so much effort if they are to legally harvest timber from their forests and sell it to markets.
This difficulty starts from the very first step-- to get the land/forest tenure certificate. In order to get the certificate, local communities often need approval from various government agencies. For example, in Myanmar, if local communities want to manage forests legally classified as public forests, then they need approval from the Agricultural Land Management and Statistics Department in addition to Forest Department,which is the authorized government agency that facilitates the community forest handover process. It doesn't stop there. After this they need to prepare a management plan that requires a deeply technical and complex process.
And Myanmar is not the only country that requires this. It is one reason why many community forest user groups in Nepal paid more than their total annual income to technicians that undertake the technical services required for these processes. Communities need to go through these processes every five to ten years. Unable to do so due to financial restrictions, as well as other issues that will soon be discussed, approximately a third of the 22,000 community forestry user groups were estimated to not have the required management plans, thus placing their legal status on hold.
Timber is an important source of income for local communities in and around forested areas.
Furthermore, the approved management plan does not guarantee that local communities will get fair benefits. In many countries, including Thailand, local communities are not allowed to harvest timber from the forests they managed. In other countries where they are allowed, like Nepal, they need to go through another long process. On the top of the aforementioned process, they need to go through a series of checks and approvals that require them to prepare a large number of documents and make frequent trips to the forestry offices. The process has massive implications for cost, as is reported in a study conducted by my colleagues, which makes buying timber from community forests less attractive to the traders due to associated high transactional cost and the complex processes of getting permits.
Again, the local communities are the ones who unfairly suffered. They received less than a quarter of the timber price offered in the market.
As I said in my presentation, the forest stays, if it pays. This is our observation at RECOFTC after more than than three decades working on community forestry in the region. One pattern that is consistent across the countries that are currently increasing forest area (natural or planted) is the presence of programs that formalize local communities' rights to manage forests. While this is encouraging, more is needed given the rapid changes in how land is used, particularly where forests face severe competition with rapidly expanding non-forestry sectors. In the context of a society that considers economics as being the most influential factor in land use decisions, anyone with common sense can tell you that forest management needs to be equally attractive (financially) for it to be sustainable, let alone increase. This is particularly true in the agricultural sector, which is reported to encroach the most on forest area (this was also highlighted in the Copenhagen FLARE conference which I attended and is nicely summarized in this blog).
This means that community forests in Asia-Pacific could be one of the best entry points for improving the forestry sector's attractiveness. It is not only for the reason that local communities (including smallholders) manage nearly a third of total forest area in the region as per a study by Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations, but also because they help achieve many of the Sustainable Development Goals highlighted in this blog. It is also instrumental to achieve the commitments of many national governments (see here for ASEAN countries).
And finally, it is also a matter of justice to local communities who despite managing forests for generations face many barriers to fairly benefit from it.
So, many questions still remain. If that level of trust could be bestowed to an outsider in Copenhagen, then why can it not be bestowed to the people who deserve to benefit from the forests they have conserved and managed for generations? Why can't they be allowed to harvest and sell timber using their control system like the transportation system in Copenhagen relied on the ethical consideration of people?
What about the punishment? If travelers in the Copenhagen public transport system are traveling without a valid ticket (which is checked by random), then they are punished only after they do so. And what about bureaucrats and politicians who are only punished after they partake in corrupt acts and decisions? If this is the case, then why can't we do so for local communities who are conserving and managing their forests? Isn't it wrong that they need to provide all the information that shows they are doing it perfectly (oftentimes at their own cost) even before they can move forward?
They are the one who need the forests the most and protect it for all. Let's join hands to address this injustice.

National Park Service – NPS SW Regional Office – Old Santa Fe Trail.
In 2018, the National Parks Service embarked on a $42 million historical preservation project of the SW Regional Office Building – part of the old Santa Fe Trail. NPS SW Regional Office was constructed in the late 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, it is the largest in-use adobe office building. The Civilian Conservation Corps, via the Works Progress Administration, was depression and New Deal-era government program to provide jobs to young unemployed men.
The Old Santa Fe building stands at the edge of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains on about 8 acres of pinion-juniper woodland. Constructed between 1937-1941, this Spanish-Revival style building was designed in association with famed architect Cecil Doty and landscape architect Harvey Cornell.
Our Albuquerque office proudly took part in this project along with the general contractor MW Morrissey, William Nugent engineer, Oden Construction and Southwest Hazard Control. The address of this historical building is 1100 Old Santa Fe Trail, Santa Fe, NM 87505.
Progressive Roofing (Albuquerque) performed the following
Roof Size 21,000 SF
Tear off the existing roof to wood deck
Mechanically attach Parabase
Install Paradiene 20 with SFT adhesive
Furnish 20-year manufacture warranty
*Product Description
Paradiene 20 is a high performance modified bitumen base ply designed for use in homogeneous multi-layer modified bitumen roof membrane systems. Paradiene 20 consists of a lightweight random fibrous glass mat impregnated and coated with high-quality styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified bitumen.
In the early 1930s the National Park Service began to search for a centralized location from which to manage its burgeoning number of Southwest parks and monuments, and Director Horace Albright championed the idea of a Santa Fe location. The regional office in Oklahoma City was isolated from the majority of parks centered in New Mexico and Arizona. Albright believed that Santa Fe, with its central geographic location, mild climate, and distinctive architectural flavor and charm possessed the right ingredients for a headquarters site. To sweeten the offer, the Santa Fe Laboratory of Anthropology offered to donate 8 5 acres of land if the Service would build in Santa Fe. Read More

One hundred and fifty years or so after Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm died, the brothers have become literary legends in the same way as William Shakespeare. Even those who haven't read their actual texts have no doubt been exposed to the stories and ideas they collected in the form of bedtime stories, Disney adaptations and modern reimaginings. Cutting across generations and classes, their influence touches all types, which makes sense given they experienced the highs of great prosperity and the lows of crippling poverty before they reached adulthood.
Long before they had a Google Doodle, the Brothers Grimm were born into a well off family in Germany. Their father was a distinguished member of the community, and they lived in a large house with servants. Education was a top priority in the family, and private tutors for the boys were hired. Unfortunately, when Jacob was 11 and Wilhelm was 10, their father contracted pneumonia and died. Without an adult male earner, the family almost immediately fell on hard times and could barely afford one meal a day.
Taking any odd jobs they could find and continuing their studies at a local school, the Brothers Grimm still graduated at the top of their classes and went on to the University of Marburg to study law. While there, they met Professor Friedrich von Savigny. He pushed them toward folklore. Jacob eventually had to drop out to make extra money to send back home, but through Savigny, they both got jobs as librarians and began collecting as many folk tales as they could find. Over the course of the next few decades, they taught classes at a university, worked at the library and churned out anthologies of legends, mythologies and tall tales. They were later forced out due to their political beliefs that Germany should be united and had to beg friends to support them for years. Luckily, the political climate eventually changed. They became members of parliament and taught at various universities until retirement.
Altogether, the Brothers Grimm lived portions of their lives in crippling poverty and portions of their lives in leisurely comfort, but like the characters in many of their most loved tales, they kept smiles on their faces and kept pushing forward. They weren't defined by their circumstances; they merely adapted to them. 200 years after publishing their first collection of stories, they're as popular as ever with the rich and the poor, and there's something very fitting about that.

The Great Gildersleeve: Gildy Turns Off the Water / Leila Engaged / Leila's Wedding Invitation
Aiding and abetting the periodically frantic life in the Gildersleeve home was family cook and housekeeper Birdie Lee Coggins (Lillian Randolph). Although in the first season, under writer Levinson, Birdie was often portrayed as saliently less than bright, she slowly developed as the real brains and caretaker of the household under writers John Whedon, Sam Moore and Andy White. In many of the later episodes Gildersleeve has to acknowledge Birdie's commonsense approach to some of his predicaments. By the early 1950s, Birdie was heavily depended on by the rest of the family in fulfilling many of the functions of the household matriarch, whether it be giving sound advice to an adolescent Leroy or tending Marjorie's children. By the late 1940s, Marjorie slowly matures to a young woman of marrying age. During the 9th season (September 1949-June 1950) Marjorie meets and marries (May 10) Walter "Bronco" Thompson (Richard Crenna), star football player at the local college. The event was popular enough that Look devoted five pages in its May 23, 1950 issue to the wedding. After living in the same household for a few years with their twin babies Ronnie and Linda, the newlyweds move next door to keep the expanding Gildersleeve clan close together. Leroy, aged 10–11 during most of the 1940s, is the all-American boy who grudgingly practices his piano lessons, gets bad report cards, fights with his friends and cannot remember to not slam the door. Although he is loyal to his Uncle …

Q: Essential maps of spectra which are null when localized at any prime There are maps of spaces which are not null-homotopic, but when localized at any prime become null. I don't know explicit constructions of any, but an example is given in Section 6 of Chapter 25 of the Handbook of Algebraic Topology (this chapter was written by C.A. McGibbon), of a phantom map $\Omega^2S^5\to \mathbb{H}P^\infty$ which has this property.
My question is really simple to state: are there maps of spectra which are globally non-trivial, but become null when localized at any prime? Or, can anyone give a proof that this is impossible?
It's well known that there's an "arithmetic square" for reconstructing spectra from their rationalizations and their $p$-completions (cf. these notes), and I believe this might have some bearing on this situation?

A: Such maps exist, even when the target is the sphere $S^{0}$.
A map $X \rightarrow S^{0}$ is $p$-locally trivial for each $p$ if it vanishes when composed with each of the $p$-localizations $S^{0} \rightarrow S^{0}_{(p)}$. This is the same as being in the kernel of the map $[X, S^{0}] \rightarrow [X, \prod S^{0}_{(p)}]$ induced by the diagonal $S^{0} \rightarrow \prod S^{0}_{(p)}$.
Assume, by contradiction, that all such maps are zero. This would mean that $S^{0} \rightarrow \prod S^{0}_{(p)}$ is a monomorphism in the stable homotopy category. Since the latter is triangulated, a monic necessarily splits, but $S^{0} \rightarrow S^{0}_{(p)}$ is not split, as that would in particular mean that we have a splitting on $\pi_{0}$, even though $\mathbb{Z} \hookrightarrow \prod \mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ is not split. We deduce that $S^{0} \rightarrow \prod S^{0}_{(p)}$ is not split and hence not a monomorphism.
The proof of the fact that in a triangulated category any monic splits (see the answer to this question) allows one to construct an explicit example of a map that vanishes $p$-locally at each prime. Namely, the inclusion of the fibre $F \rightarrow S^{0}$ of the map $S^{0} \rightarrow \prod S^{0}_{(p)}$ is non-zero, as otherwise the latter would be split, although the composition $F \rightarrow S^{0} \rightarrow \prod S^{0}_{(p)}$ does necessarily vanish.


I was just, surprisingly, not blogging, and I came across a short story I wrote for an English class when I was 15 years old. It remains my best work to date and while it is not my usual modus operandi, I include it here--for kicks. I have posted this story unedited in its original form, though it pained me to do so.
Everyone has had the story of "the boy who had to wear nurse's shoes to church" recited to them at least once in primary. And after hearing the story, we were all grateful for our Sunday shoes. We learned a valuable lesson. The lesson of not taking things for granted. This however, is a true story. It's the story of a boy who after hearing that story in primary, could relate. Douglas Newey—the boy who really had to wear nurse's shoes to church.
For most people, Sundays are a day to be enlightened and socialize. But not for poor Dougy. Each Sunday brought with it humiliation and shame. You see, neither of Dougy's parents were employed, nor had been for quite a while. They never attended church but were content to live off the church's welfare. They could not get Dougy any good church shoes, so he had to wear a pair of nurse's shoes that the neighbor had given him. As hard and embarrassing as it was for Dougy to go to church, he never missed a week. He knew it was the right thing to do. So week after week Dougy sat through lessons reverently while the other cruel children mercilessly poked fun at his shoes.
"Check out Dougy's shoes!" shouted Tim. All the children laughed, which encouraged Tim more. "Are you applying for a job at the hospital or what?" Poor Dougy tucked his feet far under his chair, as if he could hide his ugly shoes from the kids' ruthless taunting. After church Dougy would walk home alone. He didn't mind the long walk, for the soles of his shoes were thick and comfortable. He didn't always like being alone though.
"Someday I'll get some penny loafers for church. Then all the kids will like me and play with me." thought Dougy to himself. If only he could find a way to get some church shoes, all of his troubles would be over. Sunday shoes were so expensive though, and his parents had no money. Even if they did, Sunday shoes would not be a top priority for them. Dougy had to get the money himself, but how?
Dougy really enjoyed school. He had thongs to wear to school, which was fine because that's what all the kids wore. School was a place where Dougy felt important. He didn't have a lot of friends, just one whom he sat next to. Ethan Parkes. They were in all the same groups: Math, Reading, Spelling, etc. Dougy and Ethan were both smart—the smartest boys in the whole 4th grade. His teacher, Miss Kinney always told Ethan and Dougy that they were "gifted" and had a lot of potential.
"Wull, heck yeah we are." answered Dougy.
"We sit in here all the time doin' like this and I draw a lot and show you 'em all but you write and write and gee Dougy, after all this time I don't even know what it is you write." Dougy was surprised when Ethan said this. He never thought anyone would want to read the stories he wrote. In fact, now he realized that no one except Miss Kinney (who was just a teacher) had ever read his stories.
"Ok. I'll give you this one to read then." Dougy pulled out several sheets of paper from a manila folder and handed it to Ethan. He was worried, what if Ethan hated it?
The next day Dougy couldn't wait for Ethan to get to school. Finally Ethan walked into the classroom. As he was getting settled into his desk he looked at Dougy and just stared for a moment, then he said, "You are amazing. I loved it. I LOVED IT! It's fantastic." He handed the story back to Dougy.
"No. Really? You're kidding me, no kiddin'?" Dougy was astounded.
"Heck yes I do, and if you don't I will." Just then the bell rang and the boys were quiet. Dougy thought about Reader's Digest all day long. He had nothing to lose; he had 300 dollars to gain. He decided to go for it and send his story in. After school Miss Kinney helped him get an envelope and a stamp. Then they mailed it. Miss Kinney was thrilled with Dougy and his story. She put the school's address as the return address so he'd be sure to get it. Dougy was very excited, but he decided not to get his hopes up.
During the next couple of weeks Dougy almost forgot that he'd even sent the story in. He worked hard in school to keep his mind off it but the third week (Miss Kinney said it would take about 3 weeks for them to answer) he could think of nothing but the story. They hated it, and wouldn't use it. Dougy just knew it. He was simply waiting for the rejection letter.
Dougy lay prostrate on the floor. He couldn't believe it. This was unreal, too good to be real. Things like this just didn't happen to Douglas Newey. Then he saw the check. $300, that was evidence enough. He got up. Miss Kinney came in. "Congrats Mr. Moneybags! Or should I call you Shakespeare?" she smiled.
"They liked it! You were right! Whoa, wait a second, how did you know?" asked Dougy. "Well I got so curious, I steamed it open before you came." Miss Kinney looked ashamed. Dougy loved her. She was a good teacher. He loved Ethan too. He couldn't wait to tell him the good news.
Finally Ethan walked up and sat in his desk. "Look!" shouted Dougy as he held up the check.
"All right! I knew it. Did I tell you? Ha. I told you and you were so worried. That's great." They talked about it for a few moments until the bell rang. Then Dougy made a startling realization. He didn't know what to do with all the money he'd won. Sure, he'd get some penny loafers and maybe a present for Miss Kinney—lotion he thought, for her hands were always dry and chapped, but what to do with the rest?
"Ok kids, let's get on task. Get out some paper and answer this question: If you could have anything you wanted, one thing only, what would it be, and why?" asked Miss Kinney. At this moment, Dougy didn't want anything. He had money, a best friend, and a great teacher. What more could he want? For lack of something to write, he glanced over at Ethan's paper. It said, "If I could have anything, I would want a Sunday suit because I have to wear a nurse's uniform to church. . ." Dougy was shocked. All along, he'd felt so bad having to wear just nurse's shoes to church, when poor Ethan had to wear the whole uniform. This was sad news indeed, but at least now Dougy knew what he'd do with his money. And as far as he was concerned, his best friend was never again going to have to suffer the humiliation of being clad in nurse's clothing.
That is the best story I have ever read in my entire life. Sweet merciful crap. You wrote that when you were 15? Wow. It better than my story about the Dinosaur named Ernie.
A dinosaur named Ernie? I like it already.
Ok, so I haven't really written it...yet.
Oh My Gosh! That story was GREAT!!!
What impressed me, though, was your use of the word "prostrate." Seriously... Nice vocab.
Wow… you are Egger's direct competition at only 15!
Oh yes... and happy birthday to little Ben!
-"Heck yeah we are." "Heck yes I do." Tres Napoleon Dynamite.
-"prostrate." Someone brought this up already.
-"He jumped up, fell down, ran, tripped and landed in front of the letter." Fabulously (and densely) verby. I can see poor Dougy now.
-"lotion he thought, for her hands were always dry and chapped."
I laughed, I cried. Actually the first part about his having to wear nurse shoes is really quite touching. I never heard that story in Primary. All I remember about Primary is those big posters with pictures to represent words when you learn songs (e.g. "[picture of a bee] – B + W" to represent the word "we").
But enough about me. Good job with the story.
I think you let me read this story before you married Christian. It remains great. Finally it found a publisher.
Wow, a true M. Night Shyamalan ending, and I hope Dougy doesn't get prostrate cancer.
I just want you to know that I'm having a really hard time with this story of yours that promotes crossdressing still up and running while corrupting the good minds of children everywhere! Please stop and desist – post haste!
I don't think Fromage likes you much anymore, Kacy. His comments over the past few weeks have been nothing but negative. I'll have no more of your negativity on this blog Merdey, you'll have to go somewhere else for that. My blog, for example.
Good old Nate. You always stick up for me. I think I should have a posse, and you should be in it. I don't really know what a posse does but it seems useful.
This is better than the real "Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" if you ask me.
Oh Marcy... you didn't like the book? I loved it, maybe it was because it took place in the Bay Area... and it mentioned Real World... and it made me cry (wait, that isn't hard to do).
Well, I actually didn't finish the whole book....I can appreciate his humor and writing style but I never got through the beginning, it made me feel sick inside. Sorry, Kacy, I should take this discussion with Rebecca to one of our blogs I guess.
I don't know if you'll see a comment on a post from 4 years ago (and don't even ask how I got here -- I could explain, but it would take too many words,) but may I just say that. story. is. amazing? The punchline at the ending tooootally caught me off guard (abt. the other boy wearing nurse's clothing.) And how thoughtful is a boy who thinks to buy his chapped teacher hand lotion? Just, wow.
This is one awesome piece of writing.

Harrow Gay Unity: A Case History
In the last few months there have been a number of gay groups emerging with their own local identity. For example, there is London University's GAYSOC, a merger between CHE and GLF, and Reading's Gay Alliance. These have been based on the very reasonable feeling that, where the territory is limited, like in a university or an isolated town, it makes more sense to get together a united gay scene, responsive to local needs, rather than to play up the differences between nationwide bodies in a smaller arena. This is GAY UNITY'S position too, even though we are in a London Borough. We hope that this brief account of our history, aims, achievements and failures will help others to develop their own schemes, just as we have learned and adapted through hearing about others' experiences.
We started in November 1971, as very much GLF, highly motivated to protest and take political action as a result of a spate of gay cottage arrests in Harrow. This was a time of writing letters, but in personal fear and trepidation, because we were so few, and actually operating in our home area. We eventually got ourselves a fairly satisfactory place to meet regularly, and managed to place a regular advertisement in our local paper. Then we expanded fairly slowly, and there was a constant dialogue between two points of view within the group: "We must never concede to the straight system, and if newcomers can't accept GLF ideology we are better off without them", versus "We are all gay, and the needs of individuals for a local social scene are more important than their political beliefs".
About this time too, the Central London GLF meetings came to an end, and we began to feel more that we must look after ourselves since no-one else would. As an experiment, and as a result of the newcomers' desire for structure in the group and their right to have a democratic say in how things developed, we set up a committee or co-ordinating group (5 elected, 3 to be replaced every month) to deal with the business of letters, money and arrangements. Some GLF-oriented people felt that this was too much and withdrew, while others decided to stay and keep the GLF viewpoint going. In the event, the committee never really worked, and action was still mostly taken by committed individuals and small groups. But socially we were getting more together, and public appearances in pubs and on the streets happened more often. Some of the fear about police and public hostility disappeared and a personal social network of friendship and support developed – the beginnings of a real local alternative scene.
We then decided to call ourselves GAY UNITY to appeal more to all gays in the area and because we felt we had a genuine local identity and were not just an outpost of GLF in the suburbs. But the GLF link was still there, particularly in the belief in the importance of public action and the search for a genuinely different way of life, rather than accepting the status quo of straight society.
The Present Situation
We still meet regularly on Mondays in the same pub. The search for better premises which we can advertise publicly is still on, but there are fewer suitable places in the suburbs. Pub rooms to let are rare, since they are either converted into more lucrative lounges, or new pubs are built without them. Church halls are unsatisfactory anyway, and only one of the many clergymen we wrote to even bothered to reply. Other halls like those belonging to political parties tend to be expensive or to lay down too many conditions.
At our meetings we report and discuss actions and then socialise downstairs in the pub lounge. Recent actions include sniping at the local Festival of Light operations and arranging a confrontation with them. We are on good terms with the Womens Lib, and with the Harrow Youth Movement, and supported HYM with a car and loudspeaker for their candidate in a recent ward by-election. Our main effort now is a series of organised visits to all the pubs in the area. In a group of aboul 8-10, wearing badges, we just go in and have a drink and be ourselves. People stare, and some come up and talk to us, and pass remarks. Without our being aggressive or provocative, the populace is getting to know that "queers" aren't just the funny people to be found in squalid pubs in the centre of London. We also want to reach the isolated gays in this way, apart from our regular local newspaper and library ads. We want to use leaflets more too, but the experience of other groups has suggested that street handouts don't seem to have much effect in relation to the effort put in.
In all, this may not seem a lot to be doing, but with our numbers still fairly low, about 25 regular attenders on Mondays (more for parties) it gives us enough to be busy, without putting too much onto individuals. We have kept away from formal organisation, although volunteers can be found for most of the jobs to be done. Without formality, it is admittedly harder to organise things. But when they do happen, everyone feels much more personally involved, and there is a great sense of unity and committment.
For the future, there are a lot of possibilities and hazards. In one of the pubs we went to we were refused service. If it happens more, or again in the same pub, we are ready to make a public issue out of it. Also it looks like some locals want to get at us. for reasons best known to themselves. A confrontation with active hostility, so far avoided, will have to be faced. Also we want to get in touch with more of the gays outside the usual scene. There are the kids still living at home who need to get more acquainted with gayness, and come out more. Then at the other end, there are the older men who haunt the cottages. For them at the moment, this is often the best way to see or take part in sex. But any group that really means what it says about treating people as individuals must evolve ways of bringing all gays into a better personal and social scene. Ideas from others are welcome.
Gay Unity and GLF
Like we said before, we feel that our real affinity remains with the GLF, as the source of ideas and principles, even though we do adapt to our surroundings, and assert our own identity. We try at least to attend GLF co-ordinating group regularly, to make a financial contribution, and to help in the office. Sometimes in the past we have felt over-criticised by individuals who didn't seem to appreciate our problems. Now there seems to be a good understanding with central GLF. Also we feel that, through our own experience (which is the only way to find out) that many of the GLF approaches are the best ways of working towards a real change in society, especially openness.
Gay Unity and Gay News
Despite the fact that two of Harrow's original members are in the Gay News collective, in Issue 2 it was reported by someone who knew the real situation, to the effect that Gay Unity had broken off from GLF.
This 'fact' was then used in the Editorial of the same issue as evidence of widespread disenchantment with GLF. Gay News then failed to correct the error, partly because the collective felt that an apology to individuals they knew personally would be enough. This was unfortunate, for it was not then a purely local matter. GLF had first reacted to the 'news', then reacted even more against Gay News for being deliberately misleading for the sake of journalistic effect.
Other groups got all gleeful about our 'defection', and Harrow had to spend a lot of time making the position clear again. Now we hope that we are back on good terms with Gay News. But other groups should take heed. They should be as clear as possible about their decisions and actions when they might be reported. Also they should not rely on any of the media, however sympathetic, to get facts across accurately. Gay News is the best available attempt to provide a national alternative to the straight press. But we should still make some allowance for the pressures on Gay News to be lively, topical and accurate all at the same time – usually at 4.00 am when they finally paste up what will be printed.
Love and peace from all of us at Harrow. Do let us know what you are doing, via Gay News or Come Together or directly by phone or visit our meetings. (Alex – 422-7890 or Janie – 863-1184).
ED. Gay News welcomes articles and news from other small gay groups, whether they be affiliated to CHE, GLF, SMG or independent.

Q: CdbCriteria BELONG_TO I have a model (Inmueble) with this relation:
'direccion' => array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'Direccion', 'direccion_id_direccion'),

In this example:
$criteria=new CDbCriteria;
$criteria->addCondition('name = ' .$name,'AND');
$listInmueble=new CActiveDataProvider('Inmueble',
                                         array('criteria' => $criteria,
                                               'pagination' => array('pageSize' => 10),
                                         ));

I accesing in the condition to the attribute name of the model Inmueble.
How can i do a CdbCriteria accesing the attributes of the relation, for example where direccion.city = 'something'?
Thanks!

A: try this
 $criteria->with = array(
    'direccion' => array(
    'condition' => 'direccion.city = :something',
    'params' => array(
     ':something' => 'someValue'
)
    )
    );


Student Feedback: Enforce Your Classroom Rules!
I recently got this comment on a post I made on grading for professionalism.
"A grade for professional behavior in the classroom? I think this is a timely and terrific idea. There are a few college instructors in some poorly performing community colleges who have vague classroom rules printed in their course summaries. I am taking a class at a local community college where the instructor is not in control of her classroom. Students talk among themselves while the lecture is in progress, students come in late, leave early, and are regularly stepping out into the hall to make phone calls. It is a distracting atmosphere that is not mutually respectful. It burns me up when a student will sit right behind me in class and carry on a personal conversation with the student seated next to them. It's distracting, unprofessional, disrespectful of my student rights, and it's disrespectful to the instructor. My teacher needs to lay down the law instead of being so non-confrontational. It you don't post and enforce classroom rules, the students will assume that there really aren't any rules. Then the class becomes total bedlam. Thank you for sharing your terrific ideas with us on this forum."
As you can see, this student reinforces the fact that we should take control of our classrooms. I know it's tough. I'm struggling with a student right now that believes that he should not have to come to class on time or return from break on time even though the rest of the class does. But it is not fair to the good students to be distracted by someone who doesn't want to be there.
And my favorite comment? "This teacher is so arrogant; he thinks he knows more than anyone else in the class."
I recently received an email asking me for advice on how to use humor in the classroom. I have found the following articles useful.
Using Humor In The College Classroom To Enhance Teaching Effectiveness In "Dread Courses"
I share a couple examples of how I've used humor with my students. I find using humor (and laughing at myself on occasion) helps to create a positive learning environment.
How do others use humor in the classroom? Jokes? Cartoons? Storytelling?
This article in the Chronicle of Higher Education was timely for me. Dr. Wendy Belcher (Princeton University) discusses how to interpret decision letters from journals regarding submitted articles. Her first piece of advice: delay reading it or at least "don't trust your instincts on that first reading." I have found it useful to do a quick skim of the letter especially noting if there are any deadlines involved in cases of revision/resubmission. I then put the letter away for a few weeks to take the sting out of the rejection or required revision. I agree with her that sometimes it's hard to tell which it is. I recently received feedback from two reviewers (both sent two pages of positive comments and one page of negatives and/or suggestions), as well as a two page letter from the editor, that I had to read to the end to determine that my article was rejected. I think. On the other hand, maybe the editor would "entertain a revise and resubmit?" As Dr. Belcher noted, "If you can't tell whether your article has been rejected or not, it is always acceptable to e-mail the editor and ask: "Thank you for sending me your decision on my article. I just wanted to make sure that I understand it properly: Are you requesting that I revise and resubmit this essay, or do you not expect to see it again?"
Yesterday I asked the question as to whether or not to curve exam grades. Just got this from Professor Dave Richeson (Dickinson College). He shares ten methods to use to curve exams and discusses the pros and cons of each.
Do You Grade On A Curve?
Here's an interesting discussion of whether you should grade on a curve or not. Dr. Rhett Allain (@ Dot Physics) and Professor Chad Orzel (Union College), as well as others (see the comments sections), present the pros and cons.
My take on this? I have never curved an exam. I do look to make sure that there are some A's to make sure the test was doable. A former colleague of mine used to make her exams so difficult that the top score would be 40 out of 100 points and then she would curve. To me, this doesn't make sense-you're really not motivating the students to do their best as they don't have the expectancy that they CAN do well. It also puts the professor in the position of giving points rather than having the students earn these.
Here's an interesting article. According to research, multi-tasking does not work. Instead it increases the chances of mistakes and slows you down. As noted in the article, "Disruptions and interruptions are a bad deal from the standpoint of our ability to process information."
I'd be curious to hear what others think about this? I seem to be constantly multi-tasking.
Got this from Daphne Gray-Grant at Publicationcoach.com It's a website for writers that are having trouble concentrating on their work. As someone who needs to revise and resubmit a journal article, I may have to try it!
[This] is a web application that encourages writing by punishing the tendency to avoid writing. Start typing in the box. As long as you keep typing, you're fine, but once you stop typing, you have a grace period of a certain number of seconds and then there are consequences.
The idea is to instill in the would-be writer with a fear of not writing. We do this by employing principles taught in Introduction to Psychology. Anyone remember Operant Conditioning and Negative Reinforcement?
Negative Reinforcement "strengthens a behavior because a negative condition is stopped or avoided as a consequence of the behavior."
Kamikaze Mode: Keep Writing or Your Work Will Unwrite Itself. These consequences will persist until your preset conditions have been met (that is, your time is up or you've written your word count goal or both).
This is aimed at anyone who wants to get writing done. It requires only that you recognize your own tendency towards self-sabotage and be willing to do something about it.
Maybe our students would find this useful?
I was asked to provide the link to an on-line chat that the Chronicle of Higher Education did with me about classroom management. You can find it here.


Spin art is a lot of fun for little hands, it's also a very tactile, kinetic activity great for kids with special needs as well. My trick to quick, easy spin art is a salad spinner. I picked one up from the store and I've put it to great use in the art classroom ever since. These heroes are totally vibrant and mysterious all at the same time. Create these fun heroes complete with capes, masks, exploding backgrounds and cityscapes below.
Step 1. Place a small white paper plate into the salad spinner, apply your paint and start spinning, this is so much fun. When you're happy remove and let dry.
Step 2. For the superheroes I cut out the body, mask and cityscape on my Cricut, but you can use superhero embellishments found at the craft store and have the kids cut out their own shapes. Assemble your hero and glue to a popsicle stick.
Step 3. Cut a toilet tube in half and staple your hero on the stick to the inside of the tube then cover with a piece of cardstock paper. Apply your city scape and any other details.
Step 4. Staple the plate to the tube behind the hero.

"A nice group structure on certain orbit spaces of unimodular rows"

    Abstract

    :

 In this talk, we will begin with the definition of a unimodular row and its relation to Serre's problem on projective modules. We
 will then see under what conditions group structures exist on orbit spaces of unimodular rows under elementary action. Though the
 group structure is quite complicated in general, there is a nice formula for the group structure in certain special cases like affine
 algebras or polynomial rings. As a consequence of the nice group structure, one can complete certain unimodular rows elementarily too.
 The talk will be accessible to students.

In the 1980s Shinrin-Yoku or "forest bathing" was developed in Japan as a form of preventative healthcare. "The idea is simple: if a person simply visits a natural area and walks in a relaxed way there are calming, rejuvenating and restorative benefits to be achieved" (shinrinyoku.org). The large body of research listing the positive effects of Shinrin-Yoku has caught the attention of people all over the world. While previously only a part of Japanese medicine, forest bathing is now spreading all across the world.
The beauty of forest bathing or forest therapy is that it is free. Forests are bursting with the antidotes for some of life's most common poisons. According to shinrinyoku.org, "many trees give off organic compounds that support our "NK" (natural killer) cells that are part of our immune system's way of fighting cancer." The scientifically proven effects of shinrin-yoku cover many branches of health -- from reducing blood pressure to improving sleep to increasing the ability to focus, even in children with ADHD.
Shinrin-yoku is just one more tree in the forest of reasons why we need to protect this planet and its wildlife and wilderness.
Recently, LiveScience wrote that: "An estimated 18 million acres of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization." Losing forests means losing species (according to National Geographic, 70% of the world's species call forests home), releasing more carbon dioxide and water vapor into the atmosphere (disrupting weather patterns), and soil erosion.
Losing forests also means losing free therapy sessions.
It is vital that we preserve wildness, the wilderness, and in turn, ourselves.
Opening our senses to nature also develops our intuition. We learn to contact in new ways the world around us.
"We recognize that forest therapy approaches such as Shinrin-yoku have roots in many cultures throughout history.
John Muir wrote, "Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home. Wilderness is a necessity." He is one of many people who we include when we think about the origins of the practice."


What's better for our first «Vuarnet Around the World » story than a story about an amazing journey threw the beautiful country of Canada. Julien, a photographer and his girlfriend Nathalie, a makeup artist, left with nothing else but their backpack and their famous camper on a road trip chasing Canada's most gorgeous landscape. With their Vuarnet classic Tee and the love of adventure they left to discover a beautiful world. Let us take you through their adventure. #ItsAVuarnetDay.
Why did you decide to leave on a trip?
We both have amazing careers that take a lot of our time. We wanted to leave on a road trip for a long time but it seemed like there was never a right time. One day, we woke up and realized that we had to take our life between our own hands and we had to stop waiting. Few days later, we were gone. We really wanted to get out of our comfort zone.
For the freedom! When you are on a road trip, your car is your home. You can go wherever you want whenever you want. Also, when you drive, you can admire the beautiful landscape. You really feel connected with the environment you are in and the people you meet. When you stop to eat or to visit, you get a feel of the place. What is great about a camper is that you don't have to plan your trip. You can decide where you want to go and where you want to sleep based on the people you meet and the places you see. You let yourself be led around by the adventure and that was what we were looking for.
Why did you decide to do a road trip across Canada?
We realized that most people spend a lot of money to do a trip half way across the world when they don't even know their own country. We really wanted to see our home country. We both love outdoor activities and Canada is full of amazing naturel park and beautiful landscape.
Nathalie and Julien started their trip next to Erie lake in Ontario. Next, they went to the imposing Niagara Falls before continuing by following the Superior lake and crossing Manitoba and Saskatchewan. They finally made it to the beautiful Rocky Mountains. They did a quick stop in Banff, a beautiful national park where humans, animals and nature mix harmoniously. Then Lake Louise and its breathtaking panorama before continuing towards Tofino, a heaven for surfers and lovers of big space.

A New Year, A New Child Support Modification Case When There is a Substantial Change in Circumstances
2023 is expected by many to be a year of change and new pursuits, and for parents with child support, the new year may be time for anew child support modification case. Child support orders are fixed in the amount and duration of payments, and it is necessary to file a new case to get a new order if there has been a substantial change in circumstances, making your case eligible for modification and new support and withholding orders.
The Logistics of Paying Child Support and Modifying the Amounts with Material and Substantial Changes in Circumstances
In Texas, initial child support orders are part of the Temporary Orders issued shortly after the divorce or custody case begins, and those are the first court orders that direct who goes where and who pays for what, including temporary child support. When the Court orders a child support obligor to make child support payments for a child, originally, or in a modification, there is usually a withholding order by the Court, directed to the payroll department of an employer to withhold the money to be collected and processed for distribution by the Texas Attorney General Child Support Division. There are many ways to pay child support in addition to wage withholding, as indicated on the Child Support Division's website.
The parent or guardian receiving child support funds can do so through direct deposit to their bank or a Texas Payment Card issued by the Child Support Division. Depending on the Court's order, the payments are received bi-weekly or monthly, in a lump sum.
To qualify for a modification to Court ordered child support, the petitioner filing the new lawsuit requesting the modification has the burden of proving that there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances, required to qualify for a modification.
Call Leslie Barrows at the Barrows Firm in Southlake to learn your rights and options in a new child support modification case. (817) 481-1583. Search for answers to more questions on our blog, searchable by category and keyword.
Child Support Guidelines and Statutory Increases
When the Court originally calculates child support and subsequently calculates a new child support amount in a child support modification case, the Texas Family Code's child support guidelines are applied in most cases, unless there is a trial otherwise or the parties reach an agreement. The percentages of income used for support would only change if there are more or fewer children to be supported.
What may be different are the current income of the support obligor, and a change in the child support cap, the maximum amount of support to be ordered. The calculation process for child support, determines the net resources available for child support payments, considering earnings less standard deductions.
Maximum Amount of Child Support Obligation
Highly compensated child support obligors are liable for child support payments up and to a maximum ceiling amount, and that number is adjusted during Texas legislative sessions every six years, tracking inflation rates. In 2013 the maximum rate was capped at $8,550 monthly, which increased from $7,500. Next, in 2019, the adopted increased maximum rate became $9,220.
With the percentage of a payment obligation, there can be rare circumstances where Courts have ordered 20 percent plus an additional 5percent for each additional child. Depending on what is going on in your life and your children's circumstances, the obligations can be addressed in your new child support modification case.
Child Support Modifications are New Lawsuits
Like the original lawsuit needed to be reviewed, signed, filed, and served upon the other party, so does a new child support modification case because it is a new lawsuit with the same people, but seeking a new child support order. The parties exchange discovery and have the opportunity to examine and exchange financial information and other relevant records and testimony in hearings and at trial. And while many modifications are settled by agreement of the parties, others have trials to determine new amounts. Be prepared, knowing this is more than just a casual trip to the courthouse.
Note the court with continuing, exclusive jurisdiction may modify an order that provides for child support, and it is not possible to appear before a new Court.
Eligibility for a Suit to Modify Child Support, a Material and Substantial Change in Circumstances
The grounds for modification of child support require either the proving of a material and substantial change in circumstances of the child or the person affectedby the child support order or when three years have passed and the child support award differs by 20 percent or $100 from the amount that would be awarded under the child support guidelines.
What some believe qualifies for an increase in support, may not be qualifying factors, such as the obligor having been voluntarily paying more than the required amount. Likewise, the income of a new spouse or the change in the standard of living of the obligor does not trigger an increase in the obligor's child support obligation.
A New Child Support Modification of an Order Issued by Another State
Many who moved to Texas have child support orders issued by other states. Unless both parties and the child reside in Texas, a Texas court may not have jurisdiction to enter a new child support order. If everyone is here in Texas, the parties may petition a Texas Court to register that other state's order here in Texas.
A Change in Physical Possession and a New Child Support Modification
The order for support for a child can be modified by a new order if the person has possession of the child for at least six months of the year. This may happen where the parent who is a sole-managing conservator or the joint-managing conservator with the right to choose possession, voluntarily relinquishes primary care and possession of the child, is sentenced for 90 days or more in jail, or otherwise relinquishes the care of the child in other circumstances.

You do not have to wake up early this morning. Make sure you get plenty of rest because ANZAC day will be a long busy day. We will depart for Gallipoli 11:00am and on the way your guide will give you some information about the Gallipoli region and the battles that took place so when you visit the various sites on Anzac Day you will understand their importance. You will also have an opportunity to watch a documentary or movie about the Gallipoli campaign so you get a feel for the type of people who fought in this war and to help you picture conditions 101 years ago. Upon arriving near Gallipoli there will be time for a dinner break before we make our way to Anzac Cove for the overnight stay at the cove.
Important: Please bring a day pack for carrying things with you overnight at Anzac Cove and the next day in Gallipoli as once you put your main luggage on the coach on the morning of the 24th in Istanbul you will not have chance to access it again until arriving back in Istanbul on the evening of the 25th. Your main luggage will be securely locked away in the coach overnight. Please also note that the weather in Anzac Cove overnight can get very cold so we suggest you bring sleeping bags, blankets and warm clothing for this stay and even a wet weather jacket in the event that it rains.
At first light the day begins with the Dawn Service held at the ANZAC Commemorative Site, which will be followed by the Australian and New Zealand memorial services held at Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair respectively. Today is the reason you came to Turkey, to commemorate the sacrifice your forefathers have made. After Emotions run high and this afternoon you will cross the Dardenelles by ferry to Canakkale and travel to your hotel in Edremit, where an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner awaits.
