Історія Покровська — історичний розвиток Покровська від часу свого заснування.

Російська імперія

У 1881 році в Гришиному введено в дію одне з основних депо залізниці, в 1883 році — двоповерховий вокзал. 18 травня 1884 року Катерининська залізниця почала діяти, і через Гришине пішли поїзди. У зв'язку із зростанням вантажообороту в 1894—1895 роках на дільниці Демурине — Гришине-Ясинувата було прокладено другу колію, на станції побудували додаткові приймально-відправні і під'їзні шляхи та екіпірувальні споруди, а в 1890 році провели 9-кілометрову водонапірну лінію. На початку XX ст. станція Гришине щороку відправляла до 1 млн пудів хліба і 3 млн пудів кам'яного вугілля. В селищі виникли дрібні підприємства, а навколо нього — численні вугільні рудники. В 1900 році тут діяли слюсарно-токарна майстерня, 3 парові млини, цегельний завод, миловарний завод, олійниця.

Швидко зростало населення пристанційного селища. На початку XX ст. в ньому проживало близько 2600 чоловік, переважно залізничники та їх сім'ї. Заданими статистики, наприкінці XIX ст. щомісячна заробітна плата робітника колійної служби становила 14 крб. 60 коп. Цих грошей не вистачало, щоб прогодувати сім'ю. Робочий день тривав до 12 годин. Не було охорони праці, що часто призводило до нещасних випадків. Побудовані адміністрацією кілька житлових кам'яних будинків були холодними, вогкими і темними, до того ж вони не могли вмістити всіх робітників станції. Біля депо з'явилися ряди глиняних і дерев'яних халуп та землянок, де селилися сім'ї трудящих. У 1894—1896 pp. на медичну дільницю, куди входили 4 волості Бахмутського повіту (в тому числі і Гришинська), була одна лікарня на 10 ліжок. Обслуговували дільницю лікар і 2 фельдшери. Оскільки для роботи на транспорті потрібні були люди хоча б елементарно грамотні, залізнична адміністрація в 90-х роках XIX ст. відкрила в селищі однокласне (згодом перетворене на двокласне) училище. Однак не всі діти залізничників могли вчитися; через злидні вони змалку змушені були працювати. А для дітей робітників інших підприємств взагалі було закрито шлях до освіти, бо в це училище їх не приймали. Переважна більшість мешканців селища лишалася неписьменною. Лише деякі з робітників були читачами невеличкої бібліотеки, створеної при станції на кошти добровільних пожертвувань службовців залізниці.

Трудящі селища брали активну участь у революційних подіях 1905—1907 pp.

Під час всеросійського жовтневого політичного страйку гришинські залізничники виступили разом з пролетаріатом усієї Росії. На станції було обрано страйковий комітет. до складу якого ввійшло понад 15 чоловік. Очолив його інженер Поляков. У депо і майстернях поширювалися прокламації. Відбувалися мітинги і збори, на яких трудящі вимагали повалення ненависного самодержавства і встановлення демократичної республіки. Страйк тривав до 20 жовтня 1905 року.

Царський маніфест 17 жовтня 1905 року не пригасив полум'я революційної боротьби. У станційному будинку, в залізничній бібліотеці відбувалися мітинги та збори на яких оратори закликали до повалення царя, до збройної боротьби проти самодержавства. З палкими промовами виступали монтер депо більшовик 3. А. Колосов, його син — слюсар депо Ф. З, Колосов, машиніст М. Ф. Файбишев, учитель залізничного училища П. С. Дейнега та інші. Гришинські соціал-демократи розгорнули роботу й серед селян навколишніх сіл. У середині листопада на станції Гришине під керівництвом більшовиків було здійснено постанову делегатських зборів робітників та сл ужбовців Катерининської залізниці про запровадження явочним шляхом у майстернях та депо 8-годинного робочого дня. 22 листопада 1905 року застрайкували службовці станції. Зупинилися поїзди. Вночі делегати виїхали на станції Чаплине, Роздори й Синельникове, щоб залучити залізничників до політичного страйку. Цей страйк тривав 5 днів.

8 грудня 1905 року в Гришине надійшла телеграма від Катеринославського бойового страйкового комітету про початок загального політичного страйку. В той же день на багатолюдному мітингу залізничників було нриііинто рішення негайно приступити до активних дій. З представників робітників і службовців обрали розпорядчий страйковий комітет, який стежив за порядком на етапнії і залізничній дільниці, керував рухом поїздів, обкладав податками буржуазію, конфіскував кошти залізничних кас на допомогу страйкарям, закрив шинки, судив зрадипкін і провокаторів, провадив організаторську і масово-політичну роботу серед населення.

Гришанський страйковий комітет спрямовував також діяльність розпорядчих комітетів інших станцій Катерининської залізниці — Межова, Просяна і Чаплине. 11 грудня він надіслав телеграму Юзівському розпорядчому комітетові, в якій пропонував створити бойові загони і роззброїти поліцію та військові частини. На багатолюдні мітинги, що їх організував комітет на станції, приїздили селяни з навколишніх сіл. Особливо гаряче приймали вони слова промовців-робітників про необхідність передати селянам поміщицькі землі.

Розпорядчий комітет провів велику роботу для озброєння робітників

Створений на станції ще в період всеросійського жовтневого політичного страйку загін самооборони 8 грудня був реорганізований у бойову дружину. Очолили її більшовик 3. А. Колосов та вчитель залізничного училища есер П. С. Дейнега. До дружинників приєдналися селяни навколишніх сіл. Гришинська бойова дружина обеззброювала поліцію, козаків, солдатів не тільки на своїй станції, а й на сусідніх. З 12 грудня Гришинський розпорядчий комітет почав називатись Бойовим страйковим комітетом.

13 грудня, разом з дружинниками станцій Ясинувата, Авдіївка, Дебальцеве та інших, гришинська бойова дружина взяла участь у першому бою з царськими військами в Донбасі, що відбувся на станції Ясинувата. Спільними зусиллями дружинників 12-ту роту 280-го піхотного Балаклавського полку, послану для «втихомирення» повстанців, було роззброєно, а командира її штабс-капітана Карамишева, який чивин опір, убито. Увечері 13 грудня на поїзді, прикрашеному червоними прапорами, дружинники, озброєні відібраними у ворога гвинтівками, повернулися до Гришиного. Переможців зустріли з радістю. Того ж дня катеринославський губернатор дав наказ бахмутському повітовому справникові разом з військами захопити станцію Гришине і заарештувати членів Бойового комітету. Готуючись до дальшої збройної боротьби з царськими військами та поліцією, гришинські дружинники за розпорядженням Бойового страйкового комітету вивчали військову справу, спорудили навколо станції барикади з рейок і шпал, в приміщенні вокзалу обладнали лазарет, закрили вікна мішками з піском. 15 грудня комітет за участю дружинників Авдіївки прийняв рішенім виділити одного командира над усіма загонами і вчинити опір царським військам у разі їх нападу.

16 грудня з Горлівки надійшла телеграма Бойового страйкового комітету з проханням про допомогу. На засіданні гришинського комітету і загальних зборах залізничники одностайно вирішили підтримати горлівчан. Проводжати загін зібралось багато робітників і службовців селища. Разом з дружинниками вони співали «Марсельєзу». Диригував хором учитель залізничного училища, згодом відомий український композитор М. Д. Леонтович. Вранці 17 грудня гришинська дружина в складі близько 200 чоловік прибула до Горлівки і приєдналася до повстанців. В бою з царськими військами в Горлівці дружинники виявили відвагу і хоробрість. Але сили були нерівні і повстанці зазнали поразки. У цьому бою загинув один з активних учасників і керівників гришинської дружини, учитель залізничного училища П. С. Дейнега. На смерть поранено було дружинницю Л. В. Доброву.

Однак і після поразки горлівського повстання влада в Гришиному ще кілька днів лишалась у руках Бойового страйкового комітету. Лише 21 грудня 1905 року царські війська захопили станцію. Було заарештовано близько 50 чоловік, конфісковано багато зброї, динаміту, революційної літератури. До 1908 року тривали арешти учасників повстання. Тільки на першому процесі судили 50 гришинців. За вироком суду робітника депо П. Л. Бабича і слюсаря В. В. Шмуйловича стратили, а слюсарі Ф. 3. Колосов, Г. Г. Обухов, машиніст М. В. Сурин та інші загинули в тюрмах і на каторзі. Зазнав переслідувань і М. Д. Леонтович.

Після поразки грудневого збройного повстання Гришинська соціал-демократична організація уціліла, хоча чисельно значно зменшилась.

З пожвавленням промислового виробництва, що почалось у 1910 році, в Гришинському вугільному районі виникли інші рудники: Новоекономічний, Гродівський, Західно-Донецький та інші, а в селищі — нові підприємства. Крім раніше діючих, напередодні першої світової війни тут працювали також заводи — чавуноливарний, пивоварний і гамованих вод, відкрилося відділення Петербурзького комерційного банку. Вантажооборот станції в 1913 році становив 182 473 тонни. В цьому ж році почалося спорудження залізничної колії Рутченкове-Гришине з гілками Гришине- Добропілля, Чунишине-Сазонове, Цукуриха-Курахівка загальною протяжністю 127,5 верстви. Через рік було закінчено будівництво залізничної гілки, що з'єднала Новоекономічний рудник з станцією Гришине. Рух на дільниці Гришине — Добропілля розпочався у червні 1916 року, а на дільниці Рутченкове-Гришине в січні 1917 року.

Значно виросло саме селище. В 1913 році в ньому налічувалося 413 дворів з населенням 4465 чоловік (2147 чоловіків і 2318 жінок). Медичну допомогу жителям надавали 2 приватні лікарі; через високу вартість лікування не завжди було доступне для трудящих. У 1915—1916 pp. на інфекційні хвороби в селищі щороку хворіло 840—920 чоловік. З навчальних закладів, крім двокласного залізничного училища, викрили двокласні земську і приватну школи. З 1904 до 1908 року в Гришинському залізничному училищі працював М. Д. Леонтович. Тут він організував перший в Україні хор робітників-залізничників, що налічував 50 чоловік. Хор виступав і на станціях Чаплине, Авдіївка, Кринична, Межова та ін. В його репертуарі були українські та російські народні пісні в обробці самого М. Д. Леонтовича, а також — революційні. На знак протесту проти розгулу чорносотенної реакції Микола Дмитрович відмовився виконувати царський гімн і організував концерт інтернаціональної пісні, включивши у його програму, крім українських, вірменські, польські та німецькі пісні у власній обробці. На честь композитора його ім'ям названо вулицю, а також музичну школу міста. На будинку колишнього залізничного училища, де працював М. Д. Леонтович, встановлено меморіальну дошку.

Громадянська війна 1917—1922

Лютневий переворот в районі відбувся через 3-4 дні після падіння царської влади. Тривожні гудки по копальням та на транспорті були офіційними вісниками організації нової влади. До Революції в районі діяла підпільна організація есерів, які першими і виступили на мітингу в самому місті. Були створені громадські комітети, до складу яких увійшли переважно власники і заможні селяни. До Гришинського міського громадського комітету були обрані: 6 власників, 1 службовець, 3 залізничника, один лікар та два машиніста. Перший склад громадських комітетів району, очолюваних есерами. Більшовицької організації до самої жовтневої революції в місті не було.

6 березня обрано раду робітничих депутатів у ній переважали меншовики та есери. Незабаром при раді була створена селянська сесія.

Так, під час відзначення Першого травня 1917 року, коли робочі Західно-Донецького і двох сусідніх рудників зійшлися на спільний мітинг, де виступили більшовики Е.Медне і А.Беленький, робочі Лисогірського рудника, підтримуючи есерів і меншовиків, стали кричати геть більшовиків і почали розходитися з мітингу. На загальноміському мітингу товариші Мідне та Біленький також спробували виступити, але, трохи непобиті, були арештовані при спробі сховатися, і тільки після переговорів з начальником міліції есером Давидовим їх звільнили.

До часу Жовтневого перевороту становище в місті значно змінилося. Тривала війна, зростаюча дорожнеча життя, відмова промисловців підвищити заробітну плату і розповіді про жахи війни солдатів фронтовиків які повертались з фронту, все це змінило ставлення городян до Тимчасового уряду, есерів і меншовиків.

У дні Жовтневого перевороту в місті було створено Районний військово-революційний комітет на чолі з Козаковим Сидоренко Тараном. Залізничники організували свій транспортний ревком в який входили Шнібель, Кондратенко, Череватенко, І Сурін, Н Боровий. Дещо пізніше промисловці і залізнична адміністрація на Жовтневий переворот відповіла саботажем. Рада організувала робітничий контроль над виробництвом міста, а на транспорті були створений технічні контрольні комісії, в багатьох установах були призначені комісари.

У грудні 1917 р і січні 1918 року була проведена організація Червоної гвардії і роззброєння 3-й кавалерійської дивізії, окремі частини якої перебували в околицях міста, роззброєнням керував С. А. Хилько який діяв за дорученням Центрального військово-революціонного комітету Донбасу. Червона гвардія міста налічувала 1000 осіб за твердженням Воробйова.

Навесні 1918 року у зв'язку з наближенням до Донбасу Австро-Німецьких військ і частин Армії УНР місні поміщики й багаті селяни стали вбивати місцевих більшовиків. Для захисту Гришиного від наступаючих частин Австро-Німецької армії, в місті створили нові загони Червоної армії. За розпорядженням ревкому поблизу села Сергіївка за містом Гришине рили окопи. Для проведення цієї роботи ревком мобілізував все населення від 18 до 45 років. Після недовгої престрілки загони Червоної гвардії відступили з міста і 21 квітня місто було зайняте спільними силами Четвертного союзу. У місті була створена Волостная земська управа. Німці з селянських дворів забирали зерно хліб, сало тварин і все це вивозили до Німеччини. Для виконання норм реквізит і прискорення її німці брали заручників. Профспілки гірників і залізничників були заборонені, вони пішли в підпілля. Керівництво профспілковими організаціями взяв на себе Горнотруд. У нелегальних правліннях союзу працювали Яковенко, Печериця, Стебні Казаков. Головна задача була робота з підготовки загального страйку. У серпні 1918 року залізничники Гришиного приєдналися до загального страйку. В Гришине був організований страйковий комітет з Бакакіна, Стрельцова Говора. У день початку страйку робочі транспорту розбіглися по навколишніх хуторах селах полях щоб їх силою не вивели на роботу. Німці та залізнична адміністрація почали застосовувати репресивні заходи: закрили кооператив питну воду, почали виселяти з квартир. Страйковий комітет був заарештований Бакакіна, Шаманова і Стрельцова відправили в Австрію.

У листопаді німці почали спішно евакуюватися. Коли в зв'язку з відходом німців виявилося неминуче падення гетьмана, на ст. Гришине з'явилися невеликі збройні загони петлюровців 10-15 чоловік, які називали себе залізничної охороною. Командири цих загонів заявили що вони є єдиною владою в місті. У середніх числах листопада начальник петлюрівської охорони ", сотник Гудвило, отримав директиву від свого начальства роззброїти Гришинський варту, але, у нього не вистачало для цього сил. Тоді Гудвіл звернувся до більшовиків з проханням допомогти роззброїти варту що і біло зроблено 19 листопада 1918 року. Участь в роззброєнні брали селяни з сіл Криворіжжя, Сергіївки, Святогорівки, і робочі Добропільський рудників. У момент роззброєння був убитий урядник Царевский.

Після роззброєння варти населення міста приступило до виборів ради. Для підтримання рудників районний ревком наклав контрибуцію на куркулів, продовольством, і розподіляли його по рудниковим базам для харчування робітників. Відповіддю на контрибуцію став розвиток повстанського руху в околицях міста. Для боротьби з повстанством в місті були створені загони самооборони які за рішенням Гришинського військового комісаріату всі влилися в регулярну Червону армію. Велика частина загонів влилося в 75-й радянський полк, а частина загонів влилося в махновські частини батьки Правди.

Регулярні червоні частини не могли впоратися з махновських рухом в Гришинський районі, протягом декількох місяців було абсолютне безвладдя і тільки в Гришине була радянська влада. У березні — квітні 1919 р -в Гришинський район на боротьбу з повстанцями надіслані були регулярні частини Червоної армії з броньовиком.

5 травня 1919 року через втечу червоних частин з фронту місто було зайняте Добровольчою армією. В Гришине був створений каральний загін Малиновського, який розстрілював і вішав на теліграфних стовпах робочих і селян.

УРСР
Переживши першу світову та громадянську війни, розруху, станція Гришине у радянські часи почала нарощувати оберти, вже до 1925 року на повну потужність запрацювали паровозне депо, цегельний завод, 6 шахт Гришинського рудоуправління. Змінилася назва станції — спочатку на Постишеве, а 1938 року разом з присвоєнням статусу міста отримало назву Красноармійськ.

Німецько-радянська війна
У роки Другої світової війни понад 1 000 жителів були знищені окупантами, 4 788 земляків загинули на фронтах.

Післявоєнний період

На початку 1970-х років побудовані великий молокозавод, м'ясокомбінат, почалося спорудження шахти «Красноармійська-Західна № 1». Проведено технічне переозброєння залізничного вузла. 1970 року місто було газифіковане.

Незалежна Україна
У 2016 році місто перейменовано на Покровськ.

The Obotrites (Latin: Obotriti) or Obodrites, also spelled Abodrites (German: Abodriten), were a confederation of medieval West Slavic tribes within the territory of modern Mecklenburg and Holstein in northern Germany (see Polabian Slavs).[1] For decades, they were allies of Charlemagne in his wars against the Germanic Saxons and the Slavic Veleti. The Obotrites under Prince Thrasco defeated the Saxons in the Battle of Bornhöved (798). The still heathen Saxons were dispersed by the emperor, and the part of their former land in Holstein north of Elbe was awarded to the Obotrites in 804, as a reward for their victory. This however was soon reverted through an invasion of the Danes. The Obotrite regnal style was abolished in 1167, when Pribislav was restored to power by Duke Henry the Lion, as Prince of Mecklenburg, thereby founding the German House of Mecklenburg.

Obotrite confederation[edit]
The Bavarian Geographer, an anonymous medieval document compiled in Regensburg in 830, contains a list of the tribes in Central Eastern Europe to the east of the Elbe. The list includes the Nortabtrezi (Obotrites) - with 53 civitates. Adam of Bremen referred to them as the Reregi because of their lucrative trade emporium Reric. In common with other Slavic groups, they were often described by Germanic sources as Wends.
Map of the Billunger Mark (c. 1000) showing different tribes of the Obotritic confederation
The main tribes of the Obotritic confederation were:[2]
the Obotrites proper (Wismar Bay to Lake Schwerin);
the Wagrians (the eastern Holstein as part of Saxony);
the Warnower (the upper Warnow and Mildenitz);
the Polabians proper (between the Trave and the Elbe).
Other tribes associated with the confederation include:[2]
the Linonen near Lenzen,
the Travnjane near the Trave,
the Drevani in the Hanoverian Wendland.
As allies of the Carolingian kings and the empire of their Ottonian successors, the Obotrites fought from 808 to 1200 against the kings of Denmark, who wished to rule the Baltic region independently of the empire. When opportunities arose, for instance upon the death of an emperor, they would seek to seize power; and in 983 Hamburg was destroyed by the Obotrites under their king, Mstivoj. At times they levied tribute from the Danes and Saxons. Under the leadership of Niklot, they resisted a Christian assault during the Wendish Crusade.
The Limes Saxoniae forming the border between the Saxons to the west and the Obotrites to the east
German missionaries such as Vicelinus converted the Obotrites to Christianity. In 1170 they acknowledged the suzerainty of the Holy Roman Empire, leading to Germanisation and assimilation over the following centuries. However, up to the late 15th century most villagers in the Obotritic area were still speaking Slavic dialects (Polabian language), although subsequently their language was displaced by German. The Polabian language survived until the beginning of the 19th century in Hanoverian Wendland, eastern Lower Saxony (bordering modern Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania).[3] The ruling clan of the Obotrites kept its power throughout the Germanisation and ruled their country (except during a short interruption in Thirty Years' War) as House of Mecklenburg until the end of monarchies in Germany in November Revolution 1918.

Journalist invents new arithmetic to defend Rahul, asks others to get calculators while needing one herself
Sujata is the same bright spark who had shamelessly celebrated the tragic suicide of Rohit Vemula because she believed that this would end up destroying PM Modi's Dalit votebank.
Sujata Anandan
Rahul Gandhi is on an interview giving spree and with each interview, he seems to make a bigger fool of himself. In an interview to NDTV, Rahul Gandhi changed the amount he would give every poor person as per his proposed NYAY Yojana. Earlier, it was Rs. 72,000 a year, but in his interview to NDTV, he seems to have changed it to Rs. 3,60,000 a year.
"We boxed PM in, he can't talk," says Rahul Gandhi on attack over jobs

Of course, NDTV while sharing the video snippet doesn't call out the blatant lie, but instead, chooses to focus on the hollow sentence that he has managed to corner Prime Minister Modi over jobs. But the shenanigans of NDTV are widely known and there seems to be no good reason to invest more time in it for the purpose of this article.
When Rahul Gandhi lies or when Rahul Gandhi goofs up, the faithful jesters from his darbar often jump right to his defence. It is hardly a matter of ideology, rather, a matter of survival. After all, it is their job to mount a defence every time the very King they depend on jams his foot firmly in his mouth.
A court jester from the King's darbar, who also moonlights as a journalist and author, jumped to Rahul Gandhi's defence when someone pointed out that Rahul Gandhi seems to have jumbled up the numbers yet again.
She said, "Basic math. 12000 per month equals 72000 per year. Five years equal 60 months. 12000 for 60 months equals 3,60,000. Instead of innuendo, you could have brought out your calculator, if mental arithmetic was an issue".
Basic math. 12000 per month equals 72000 per year. Five years equal 60 months. 12000 for 60 months equals 3,60,000. Instead of innuendo, you could have brought out your calculator, if mental arithmetic was an issue https://t.co/r22l4kH5EK
— Sujata Anandan (@sujataanandan) May 3, 2019
According to her calculation, Rahul Gandhi is right before Rs 12,000 a month would equal to Rs. 72,000 a year. 5 years would equal to 60 months and hence, 12,000 multiplied by 60 months would equal to Rs 3,60,000. Exactly the number Rahul Gandhi mentioned.
She, of course, glosses over the fact that Rahul Gandhi, in the interview said Congress would provide Rs. 3,60,000 per year and not for a period of 5 years.
But that is not the only problem. The mathematics used by this journalist is nothing short of hilarious.
She says 12,000 per month equals to 72,000 per year. A simple calculation would reveal that if Rs 12,000 is paid per month, in a year, that would amount to Rs. 1,44,000.
In her hurry to defend Rahul Gandhi, what she perhaps forgot is that the Congress party had said that any person earning less than Rs. 12,000 would get Rs 72,000 a year. Rahul Gandhi said that an income line of Rs 12,000 has been set for the scheme, and it will cover 20% poorest families of the country. The government will pay Rs 72,000 per year to the eligible families under this scheme, and the amount will be credited directly to the bank account of beneficiaries.
Instead, Sujata Anandan seems to have understood that Congress would be paying poor families Rs 12,000 per month and even in that, she conflates it with Rs 72,000 a year, thanks to skewed maths.
Further, Sujata says that Rs 12,000 for 60 months would mean Rs. 3,60,000 for five years. Well, 12,000 multiplied by 60 would equal to Rs. 7,20,000 so Sujata fails there too. However, Rs. 72,000 multiplied by 5 would come up to Rs. 3,60,000, exactly the amount Rahul Gandhi mentioned in his NDTV interview. The only catch? Rahul ended up saying Congress has promised to pay Rs. 3,60,000 PER YEAR instead of that amount in 5 years.
In a massive display of courage (or brazenness, we can't decide which), Sujata tells the person questioning Rahul Gandhi that he should have purchased a calculator instead of mouthing off innuendos if mental arithmetic was too much of an issue.
Sujata is the same bright spark who had shamelessly celebrated the tragic suicide of Rohit Vemula because she believed that this would end up destroying PM Modi's Dalit votebank.

After the servility to the Gandhi and the downright massacre of mathematics in her desperation to defend Rahul Gandhi, we can only hope that Sujata finds a calculator for herself, and while she is at it, perhaps she can look for her missing spine too.

A Day in the Life: Providing Hot Tickets at Cool Prices
MakeOffices November 1, 2016 at 1:35pm
Previous Image 1/6 Next Image
The following is the third in a weekly series of articles about a "day in the life" of companies at the MakeOffices coworking space in Clarendon. The mini-series, which will run this fall, is sponsored by MakeOffices.
Move over Willy Wonka, the employees at SharpSeat are now the ones offering golden tickets. Whether for concerts or sporting events or theater performances, SharpSeat hooks up secondary market buyers with their dream tickets. The service essentially "is like StubHub, but cheaper," say co-founder Andrew McCulloch.
He and the other two co-founders, Mike Williams and Brad Kurtzman, met while attending James Madison University and moved to Northern Virginia to take jobs after graduating. They attended a lot of ticketed events upon moving to the area and found themselves giving advice to friends looking to buy good tickets, too. But there was one major problem.
"There's a ton of fees that we got sick of paying when shopping around on other sites," McCulloch says. "We saw an opening in the secondary ticket market." That's when they decided they could do it better.
The three did a lot of research on secondary market ticket sales and ended up using their industry knowledge to start SharpSeat as a side project. "We found the average person didn't know to look any further than Stubhub for secondary [tickets]. We saw an opportunity there to give them a better alternative," Williams says.
They all eventually left their jobs to work full-time on SharpSeat. "We basically wanted to find a way to make tickets cheaper for the end customer," McCulloch says. "We knew if we could find a way to keep costs down and still get access to the same tickets the big guys were getting, we could pass the savings on to customers."
Their average day is a lot different now. The employees live in Virginia Square — two live together and the other lives down the street — so the MakeOffices Clarendon location where they work makes for an easy commute.
"One of the best parts is not having the commute around D.C.," McCulloch says. He also found it important to stop working from home every day. "Keeping work and life separate was big for me because working in my kitchen all the time I'm [distracted]… Plus, here we're surrounded by a bunch of other entrepreneurs that are getting things done."
Being among other entrepreneurs has helped the employees stay motivated when doing their daily tasks, which include maintaining the website, coordinating with site developers, researching what events are coming up and fielding calls from the customer service team. And according to Williams, one of the big challenges they constantly face is marketing.
"For every business, [marketing] is probably 90 percent of the battle," he says. "Just getting the word out there and getting people to visit the site, more than just your family and friends."
Thanks to the business' growth since launching two years ago — there is currently about $2 billion worth of tickets listed on the site, although it fluctuates seasonally — the team recently has been able to hire out for help with that marketing burden.
"Now we've hired a marketing firm to help us and we're really looking to expand," Kurtzman says. "This is our first business so we kind of learn as we go. We had to teach ourselves everything."
They also outsource much of the customer service to a team in Chicago, but not all of it. The co-founders all use their venue expertise to give advice to customers who contact them looking for tips on purchasing the best tickets.
"So often people ask what's the best value and where's the best place to sit," says McCulloch. "We know where you're going to get a better value… Just little intricacies like that help out when we're talking to clients." Williams agrees, adding, "We have good knowledge of all the D.C. venues so we help people out" with getting the best ticket for their money.
To remain experts in the industry, the three often do offsite work — attending different types of events locally as well as traveling to other cities to check out their venues. "Obviously, it's really fun to do that, but it is a part of what we have to do [for research]," Williams says.
Kurtzman explains that traveling to sites is how they gain knowledge of the best seats so they can offer direct customer support. "StubHub doesn't really do that kind of thing," he says.
When the SharpSeat employees aren't traveling, they take advantage of the amenities in the MakeOffices Clarendon coworking space.
"Getting dedicated office space around here… is pretty unrealistic, especially for a small company like us," says Williams. "Even for something half as nice as this, if you want a dedicated space the rents around here are so much that it just never really made sense to us. When this space opened up we couldn't believe how cheap it was for what you get."
One of the perks included in that price is a set of rotating taps of regionally-brewed beers. The SharpSeat co-founders say they like to head to the kitchen to try out new brews, relax and meet employees from the other businesses in the coworking space.
"Plus, I love the massage chairs," Brad says, as the others laugh. "I usually use them once a day."
Between the MakeOffices benefits and the satisfaction of doing a job they love, the SharpSeat team experiences something many typical employees don't: They actually enjoy going to work.
"At my old job, I hated going to work. Now I love coming to this office," Kurtzman says. Williams agrees, saying with a smile, "It's kind of crazy that we're voluntarily coming into an office after we wanted so badly to get out of one."

Wonderfully simple but extremely satisfying lesson walking you through the writing of the Chinese word for landscape and evolving the strokes into a simple landscape and waterfall painting.
Wonderfully simple lesson can be done with a single brush, ink and paper. Deeply meaningful exercise that progresses you through four different styles of writing the words mountain and water which when written together form the Chinese word for landscape. Eventually this leads to a simple landscape painting on OAS Pi Paper depicting a harmonious blending mountains and water in the form a river winding its way through a misty mountain ending in a waterfall.
The lesson is complete stand-alone but there is video of the both the calligraphy strokes and the landscape painting available at OASlife.com for individual purchase or as part of the OASlife membership.


Boost Pressure Gauges indicate a turbocharger or supercharger's level of boost pressure or manifold air pressure in an internal combustion engine. They can be mounted almost anywhere you want: the driver's side pillar, a radio slot, or in the dashboard. They are used to measure engine driven air compressors that provide varying levels of boost according to the engine's load and rpm.
Boost Pressure Gauges are used to ensure that there isn't an excessive amount of pressure being created when the boost pressure levels are modified to levels above the Original Engine Manufacturer (OEM) standard. When using an aftermarket turbocharger in your vehicle, these gauges are extremely important in allowing your engine the long life that it deserves.


It's late. We watched The Pianist tonight. I had seen it before, but had forgotten it some and Annemarie had never seen it. Yeah, it's good. Too bad Adrien Brody hasn't done much of worth since. No, The Darjeeling Limited really doesn't count, neither does The Jacket.
Anyway, I've been depressed and on a downer these last couple of days. Doubt, depression, doubt, anger, feelings of inadequacy, questioning… it's all been mixing it up inside me. Ugh. Lameness. Still there, but I'm trying to just muscle/push/work through it. Annemarie's very supportive, of course. But a lot of men can't pretend it's all better after a perfectly wonderful hug.
I wrote some today and yesterday. Yesterday's articles were for a contest on Helium, and today's were for a variety of things. Here are the links. I actually think they're all good, with the first few rather entertaining.
These ones are the articles I wrote last Friday, minus the quizzes I am hoping to be picked up by a Marketplace publisher. Some of these are poems… so read them if you dare.
Yes, I've been staying busy. I just need something to happen here. Like a job offer, or even a job response that validates my writing at least a little bit. Arg.
That's all for now. Still gonna write a bestseller, I am. I just don't see it yet. Hopefully soonish.
I do love writing. I need to do it better.
I just came across your blog via a message board post on Helium. Very interesting blog, I'm looking forward (after the Reward-athon!) to spending some quality time reading what all is here.
As to The Pianist… for some reason, it was lost on me. My wife LOVED it, though!


We received the below Notice and below letter today. PDF version here of the Notice and here of the letter.
Widening of Eastern Avenue from 2 to 4 lanes from Hansen Road South to Kennedy Road.
In 2015, the City of Brampton completed a Transportation Master Plan that recommended the extension of Clark Boulevard and improvements to Eastern Avenue. The Class EA Study will evaluate the current and future transportation capacity needs, identify possible improvements to accommodate the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, transit and motorists within the project limits, including safety improvements. Impacts to the social, cultural and natural environment and mitigation measures will also be identified.
This notice signals the commencement of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study. The study will define the problem, identify and evaluate alternative solutions, develop a preferred design, assess potential impacts and identify mitigation measures associated with the preferred design for the corridor in consultation with adjacent property owners, regulatory agencies, Indigenous communities, members of the local business community and the public. The study is being carried out in accordance with the planning and design process for Schedule 'C' projects as outlined in the Municipal Class Environment Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
A key component of the study will be consultation with interested stakeholders, including the public, agencies and Indigenous Communities. Two Public Information Centres (PICs) will be held to present the project, review the study findings and discuss issues related to the project including alternative solutions, evaluation criteria, alternative design concepts, and environmental impacts and mitigation measures. Details regarding the forthcoming PICs will be advertised as the study progresses. Upon completion of the study, an Environmental Study Report (ESR) will be prepared and made available for public review and comment.
This notice was first issued on January 24 2019.
Widening Eastern Avenue from two to four lanes from Hansen Road South to Kennedy Road.
Review existing conditions and future transportation needs along the study corridor.
Identify opportunities for improvements to accommodate the current and future transportation needs of pedestrians, cyclists, transit and motorists along this corridor including safety improvements. Impacts to the social, cultural and natural environment and mitigation measures will also be identified.
Collect, document and assess input and feedback from residents and affected groups within the area.
The purpose of this letter is to introduce the Study to you and to invite you to participate as part of a Stakeholder Group for the duration of the project.
If you would like to be a member of the Stakeholder Group, or if you have any questions and/or concerns in relation to this Study, please fill in and return the attached response form to the contact shown either by mail or email by February 15, 2018.
If you decide to become a member of the Stakeholder Group, you will be invited to participate in two meetings during the course of the Study; one meeting to review the alternative solutions under consideration for the corridor and one meeting to review the alternative design concepts. Invitations to attend these Stakeholder Group meetings will be emailed/mailed to group members at least two (2) weeks in advance of each meeting. Meetings will be held at the City of Brampton offices. A written summary of discussion and comments from each meeting will be prepared by HDR Meeting minutes will describe highlights of the meeting, areas of agreement, disagreement and recommendations or options. Meeting minutes will be regularly circulated to the study team and made available to other interested parties.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at 289-695-4653 or via email at Tara.Erwin at hdrinc.com, or Mario Goolsarran, the City's Project Manager at 905-874-5164 or via email at Mario.Goolsarran at brampton.ca.
We've asked for an ETA on display boards being available online.
The City of Brampton has added concept images for the new Ryerson University campus at the Brampton GO Station, and for the Centre for Innovation.
Last week there was a federal announcement for transit funding for Ontario. The Province provided matching funding and we assume municipalities have the option to contribute an amount they choose to.
How was the money for Brampton calculated? We contacted the Minister of Infrastructure office and received the below reply.
"Allocations for public transit for Phase 2 were developed from the Canadian Urban Transit Association's (CUTA) 2015 Fact Book for conventional ridership, as this is the most recent data available. Specialized transit figures were also included, where applicable. These numbers were complemented with data provided by the provinces for non-CUTA recognized systems.
We thank the Minister's office for their reply. Further, they got back to us quickly and we simply used the email address on the news release. We would encourage people to send an email and ask for specific details if they are required because it can sometimes be helpful at getting a complete picture.
We're posting this for information purposes and are not suggesting that this is a good or not so good formula. We simply hope it addresses the question raised.
Mississauga's Allocation: Did they get $800 million from the federal government?
In addition to the formula discussion above, there was some in #brampoli who suggested that the City of Mississauga received $800 million from the federal government. This is not correct as shown in the chart below (total column added by us).
Further, in this news release by the City of Mississauga.
"Today's investment will see over $800 million in dedicated funds – including matching funds from the province and the City of Mississauga – flow to the City of Mississauga over the next decade. This is good news for our community, our residents, and our future growth as a city. Mississauga is home to almost 800,000 residents from every country, and over 88,000 businesses. We are a city in demand and a place where the world comes to work. High-quality infrastructure allows us to compete on a global stage, attract new business, and most importantly, create jobs for our residents.
To be clear, the City of Mississauga did not receive $800 million just from the federal government. The City itself made a contribution to get the number to $800 million. So, we look forward to seeing what the City of Brampton decides to do.

I (Kevin, Co-Founder of Fight Gridlock) was recently asked about transit costs compared to the cost of private car ownership.
Fight Gridlock fully acknowledges that nothing is "free". Like anything else, transportation funding is always about "how much does it cost", and "who's going to pay for it". That said, this is an interesting enough topic to dive into to better understand how transportation is funded and value for money.
What is the out-of-pocket cost for these trips?
What is the cost to society to enable trips by public transportation vs. private automobile.
Generally, the variables in private automobile transportation are what kind of automobile, whether it is new or used, how many automobiles, and how much mileage is applied. This could be influenced by lifestyle stages such as whether a person has a partner or not, and whether children are being transported regularly. This article will explore a few scenarios, with all costs cited from CAA Driving Costs Calculator, Province of Ontario. Annual mileage of 20,000km on a new automobile is assumed.
Let's build out the same scenarios using public transit. There is some overlap in variables, but there are also unique differences. For example: Committing to owning a van accumulates costs whether the van is used to full capacity of not. While monthly public transit passes are available for children, they are not always the best use of money if a child does not need public transit every day. This article will assume the purchase of Brampton Transit monthly passes.
The tricky thing about public transit is that some of the cost is recovered at the fare box, and the rest is paid for by taxes — which every Brampton resident pays into. Further confounding the matter is that cost recovery is not limited to Brampton residents. This brings us to the second part of this article: What is the cost to enable trips by public transportation vs. private automobile?
This total cost does not take into consideration any grants received by the provincial government, or any cost recovery from the fare box.
Census data suggests that Brampton's population was 593,638 people in 2016, and that an estimated 13.96% of the population uses public transit as their main mode of travel. This works out to be an estimated 82,872 people.
The same census data suggests that 75.89% of Brampton's population is a driver of a car, truck, or van as their main mode of travel. This works out to be an estimated 450,512 people.
A cost of $208,330,597 to provide transit to approximately 82,872 people amounts to a full cost of approximately $2,513.88 per person annually.
If an estimated 450,512 people each pay $7,534.81 per year to drive a compact car, this amounts to a total of $3,394,522,322.72 — that's over 3 BILLION DOLLARS — being paid into a system to support private automobile transport.
Even with no cost recovery at the fare box, a fully subsidized transit system costs 3 times less per person than what it costs for the public to pay for private automobile ownership.
The total contribution being paid to support private automobile ownership is more than 16 times higher than the total cost of the entire Brampton Transit system.

Q: DrawPolyLine not drawing completely on the right layer I zoom into a map, then do a screenDisp.DrawPolyline(polyline);  Now the line is in the correct place, but the map that is the background of the polyline object is actually the initial map and not the zoomed in map.
Here's a screenshot: http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a173/iteration_x/LineBehavior.jpg
What you are seeing is a really zoomed in map of minnesota with most of the layers turned off, and that interior picture is part of the West Coast from the initial map load.

A: I've seen this sort of behavior before.  It was the result of calling IDisplay.StartDrawing, without calling FinishDrawing. How/when are you drawing to the screen?  The more common ways to draw your own geometries on the screen are:

*

*In response to
IActiveViewEvents.AfterDraw

*Adding IElements to the
IGraphicsContainer (implemented by
Map class)

*Adding a custom layer to the map.

Below is code showing how to add a custom layer to the map.
public class CustLayer: BaseCustomLayer
{
    private IPolyline m_Polyline = null;
    private ISymbol m_Symbol = null;
    public CustLayer()
    {
        m_Symbol = new SimpleLineSymbolClass();
    }
    public override void Draw(esriDrawPhase drawPhase, IDisplay Display, ITrackCancel trackCancel)
    {
        if (drawPhase != esriDrawPhase.esriDPGeography)
            return;
        if (m_Polyline == null)
        {
            IProjectedCoordinateSystem pcs = Display.DisplayTransformation.SpatialReference as IProjectedCoordinateSystem;
            if (pcs != null)
            {
                m_Polyline = MakePolyline(pcs.GeographicCoordinateSystem);
                m_Polyline.Project(pcs);
            }
            else
            {
                m_Polyline = MakePolyline(new UnknownCoordinateSystemClass());
            }
            m_extent = m_Polyline.Envelope;  // sets IGeoDataset.Extent
        }
        // startdrawing has already been called, so don't call it again here
        Display.SetSymbol(m_Symbol);
        Display.DrawPolyline((IGeometry)m_Polyline);
    }

    public static IPolyline MakePolyline(ISpatialReference sr)
    {
        IPointCollection pc = new PolylineClass();
        // deal with legacy COM cruft ...
        object missing = Type.Missing; // (not needed with VB.NET)
        pc.AddPoint(MakePoint(-98.0, 29.0, sr), ref missing, ref missing);
        pc.AddPoint(MakePoint(-97.0, 28.0, sr), ref missing, ref missing);
        pc.AddPoint(MakePoint(-96.0, 27.0, sr), ref missing, ref missing);
        pc.AddPoint(MakePoint(-95.0, 26.0, sr), ref missing, ref missing);

        IPolyline polyline = (IPolyline)pc;
        polyline.SpatialReference = sr;
        return polyline;
    }
    public static IPoint MakePoint(double x, double y, ISpatialReference sr)
    {
        IPoint p = new PointClass();
        p.PutCoords(x, y);
        p.SpatialReference = sr;
        return p;
    }
}

Here's the code that instantiates the layer and adds it to a mapcontrol:
private void testToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        CustLayer layer = new CustLayer();
        layer.Name = "my custom layer";
        axMapControl1.AddLayer(layer);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(this, ex.Message);
    }
}

A: You could also try calling IActiveView:PartialRefresh to refesh the graphics container or the layer. To test whether refresh has anything to do with your problem call IActiveView:Refresh which is a full refresh. If it does use partial refresh instead.

All Chilean bishops present resignation, await decision from pope
By MyChurchCantandoConDios 17/05/2018 17/05/2018 Vatican
Vatican City, May 18, 2018 / 06:44 am (CNA/EWTN News).- At the close of their 3-day meeting with Pope Francis, all the bishops of Chile asked victims of the country's abuse scandal for forgiveness and presented written resignations to the pope, who must decide whether to accept or reject them.
In a written May 18 statement, the bishops thanked Pope Francis for his "paternal listening and fraternal correction," and asked forgiveness for the pain caused to victims, the pope, the People of God and the country due to their "serious errors and omissions."
The statement was read aloud to the press in Spanish by Bishop Juan Ignacio González of San Bernardo, a member of Chile's national commission for the protection of minors, and in Italian by Bishop Fernando Ramos, auxiliary bishop of Santiago and secretary of the Chilean bishops' conference.
In the statement, the bishops thanked Maltese Archbishop Charles Scicluna and Spanish Msgr. Jordi Bertomeu for the in-depth investigation of the crisis they carried out earlier this year.
They also thanked victims for their "perseverance and courage, despite the enormous personal, spiritual, social and familial difficulties they have had to face, many times in the midst of incomprehension and attacks from their own ecclesial community."
They asked for the victims' help going forward and said that at the end of their last session with the pope May 17, each of the active bishops presented a written resignation and will await the pope's decision on whether to accept or reject it.
In comments to the press, González said that for now, the bishops will return to their dioceses and will continue their work as usual until hearing from the pope, who will either reject their resignation, accept it immediately, or put it into effect only once a new bishop is named.
The May 15-17 gathering between the pope and the 34 Chilean bishops, two of whom have already retired, was called for by Pope Francis himself last month following Scicluna and Bertomeu's investigation into abuse cover-up by Church hierarchy in Chile, resulting in a 2,300-page report. To date, that report has not been made public.
The investigation was initially centered around Bishop Juan Barros of Osorno, appointed to the diocese in 2015 and accused by at least one victim of covering up abuses of Chilean priest Fernando Karadima.
In 2011, Karadima was convicted by the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith of abusing minors and sentenced to a life of prayer and solitude. Allegations of cover-up were also made against three other bishops – Andrés Arteaga, Tomislav Koljatic and Horacio Valenzuela – whom Karadima's victims accuse of knowing about Karadima's crimes and failing to act.
Pope Francis initially defended Barros, saying he had received no evidence of the bishop's guilt, and called accusations against him "calumny" during a trip to Chile in January. However, after receiving Scicluna's report, Francis apologized and asked to meet the bishops and more outspoken survivors in person.
In a scathing letter that was leaked to Chilean television station T13 May 17, Pope Francis skewered the Chilean prelates for a systematic cover-up of abuse involving not only the destruction of documents, but superficial investigations that led to moving accused abusers to other schools or parishes where they had access to children.
Although victims of the Chilean abuse scandals have often been dismissed and accused of making up stories to attack the Church, the pope's letter – which he gave to the bishops during their 3-day meeting – appeared to side with the victims based on the conclusions of Scicluna's report.
In his footnotes, Pope Francis noted how the investigation found that while some religious had been expelled from their orders due to "immoral conduct," blaming their "criminal acts" on simple weakness, they were then transferred to other parishes or dioceses and given jobs where they had "daily and direct contact with minors."
The reference was likely not only to Karadima, but to other religious orders in which scandals have recently come to light, including the Salesians, Franciscans and the Marist Brothers.
In the letter, Francis said there had also been serious flaws in handling cases of "delicta graviora," meaning "grave offenses," which "corroborate with some of the worrying information that some Roman dicasteries have begun to be aware of."
These errors, he said, have to do particularly with the reception of complaints and "notitiae crimini," or information on the crimes, which "in not a few cases have been classified very superficially as improbable," despite bearing signs of being a serious crime.
In some cases, the pope wrote, it took months for complaints to be investigated, and in others they were not investigated at all. In still other cases, he said, there was clear evidence of "very serious negligence in the protection of children and vulnerable children on the part of bishops and religious superiors."
Pope Francis said he was "perplexed and ashamed" to have read statements saying Church officials investigating abuse allegations had been pressured, and that in some cases, documents had been destroyed by those in charge of diocesan archives.
These actions, Francis said, constitute "an absolute lack of respect for canonical procedure and, even more, reprehensible practices which must be avoided in the future."
The problems, the pope said, do not belong to just one group of people, but are the result of a fractured seminary process.
In the case of many abusers, problems had been detected while they were in seminary or the novitiate, he said, noting that Scicluna's investigation contained "serious accusations against some bishops or superiors who sent priests suspected of active homosexuality to these educational institutions."
In the letter, Pope Francis stressed the need to recognize not only the damage done, but also the underlying causes that led to abuse and cover-up, and to identify ways to repair the pain and suffering many have endured.
He said the problem is not isolated, but everyone is responsible, "I being the first," and that no one can be exempted by "moving the problem onto the backs of others."
"We need a change, we know it, we need it and we desire it," he said, and encouraged bishops to put Christ at the center. He said in recent history, the Chilean Church has lost this focus, putting itself at the center instead of the Lord.
"I don't know what came first," he said, "if the loss of prophetic strength resulted in the change of center, or the change of center led to the loss of the prophecy that was so characteristic in you."
He cautioned the bishops against assuming an attitude of "messianism," in which they seek to promote themselves as "the only interpreters of God's will." Francis also warned the prelates not to fall into an "elite psychology," which he said can overshadow the way issues are handled.
"An elite or elitist psychology ends up generating dynamics of division, separation and closed circles that lead to narcissistic and authoritarian spiritualities in which, instead of evangelizing, the important thing is to feel special, different than others, thus making it clear that they are interested in neither Jesus Christ or others," he said.
Messianism, elitism and clericalism, Francis continued, "are all synonyms for perversion in ecclesial being; and also synonymous with perversion is the loss of the healthy conscience of knowing that we belong to the holy People of God, which precedes us and which – thanks to God – will succeed us."
Prayer and sincere recognition of one's failings are necessary for grace to work, he said, adding that this saves a person from "the temptation and pretension of wanting to occupy spaces, and especially in a place that does not correspond to us: that of the Lord."
The pope stressed that removing people from office "must be done, but it is not enough, we must go further."
The problems the Chilean Church faces are wider, he said, and because of this "it would be irresponsible on our part not to delve into the roots and structures that allowed these specific events to happen and to be perpetuated."
"It would be a serious omission on our part not to know the roots," he said, and "to believe that only the removal of people, without anything more, would generate the health of the body," calling that "a great fallacy."
"There is no doubt that it will help, and it is necessary to do it, but I repeat, it is not enough, since this thought would dispense us from the responsibility and participation that corresponds to us within the ecclesial body," the pope said.
Pope Francis closed his letter asking the bishops to guard against the temptation of wanting to "save their skin" and their reputations, explaining that "the severity of events does not allow us to become expert hunters of scapegoats."
"All this requires us to have seriousness and co-responsibility to take on the problems as symptoms of an ecclesial whole, which we are invited to analyze, and which also asks us to seek all the necessary mediation so that they are never perpetuated again."

Airdrie Lawyers can help you find a lawyer or solicitor who can help if you are going through a divorce or separation. For anyone going through a separation or divorce, it can be a very difficult time. Divorce and separation can often be upsetting and it can also lead to major upheaval to your personal circumstances not only financially but also in terms of your living arrangements and in relation to care of children. The Airdrie Lawyers website lists a number of lawyers and solicitors who can assist with family law, child contact and residence, divorce and other issues arising from separation.
Financial Rights on Divorce or Separation:- There are different rules to regulate your financial rights following from a separation depending on whether or not you were married. A lawyer will be able to advise you of your rights and your options as to how to resolve things.
The Matrimonial Home:- There are specific rules which can allow a spouse to continue to reside at the former matrimonial home after separation even if they are not registered as the owner or tenant of the property. There can also be financial rights in the property to be taken into account including ownership of the property or the responsibility for making mortgage payments.
Divorce:- An application for divorce requires to be made through the courts. There are different rules and procedures that apply to actions of divorce depending on the circumstances and your lawyer will be able to provide you with further information about the best way to progress things for you.
Interdicts and Exclusion Orders:- These can be used to exclude someone from a property or to prevent one party behaving in a way that is deemed unacceptable. These can be particularly relevant where there are issues of domestic abuse.
Cohabitants Rights :- In Scots Law there can be financial claims which can arise when a couple who have lived together separate, even if they have never been married. Any claim is based upon the contributions of the parties during the period of cohabitation and the advantages and disadvantages each party has had prior to the separation.
Contact Between Children and their Parents:- There can often be problems in agreeing arrangements in relation to contact between a child and its parents. If parties are unable to agree things then a lawyer can help you reach an agreement. Alternatively, your solicitor may be able to apply to court to regulate contact arrangements to ensure that contact can operate in the child's best interests.
Parental Rights in Relation to Children:- Parental rights relate to things like decisions about a child's healthcare, education, residence arrangements and other matters affecting the child's welfare. The law changed in 2006 so that fathers named on a child's birth certificate have automatic parental rights in relation to their child if the child was born since May 2006. However, before that, unmarried fathers did not have automatic parental rights, even if they were named on the birth certificate. It can therefore sometimes be necessary to apply to court for a court order allowing you parental rights in relation to a child and your lawyer will be able to advice you about the procedure for that.
Grandparents Rights:- In most cases grandparents are able to see their grandchildren by agreement with the child's parents. However, this is not always possible and the law does allow for the possibility of grandparents applying to court for an order regarding their grandchild but any order requires to be shown to be in the child's best interests.
Often it can be difficult to agree upon what is in a child's best interests, particularly if the parties have recently separated. It is therefore important that you should consult with a solicitor to ensure that are aware of your rights and so that your own views can be properly considered when trying to agree childcare arrangements. If court proceedings become necessary, then you lawyer will also be able to explain what is involved in that procedure and will guide you through that process.
If you live in Airdrie, Coatbridge, Cumbernauld, Bellshill, Wishaw or Motherwell then using Airdrie Lawyers to help find a local family lawyer will be important in allowing you to have a personal connection with a solicitor or lawyer from a law firm local to you.

Q: Modify scroll speed, treeview drag&drop in C# i have a treview control with drag&drop functionality that response to draw the node outside the visible limits scrolling in the apropiate direction. The problem is that it scroll at light speed. I need a way to modify this speed.

A: You should use a Timer.  Enable it when you detect the item getting dragged near the top or bottom of the client area.  Simply avoiding scrolling when the timer is busy.  The Interval property of the timer determines how fast the scrolling takes place.  A bonus effect is that the user can speed up the scrolling by waving the dragged item up-and-down.
I wrote some sample VB.NET code that uses this approach, you'll find it in this thread.


The "Panda" rapper takes an interesting approach.
On Thursday, Desiigner dropped his XXL Freshman freestyle, which you're going to want to listen to. Clocking in at 46 seconds the rapper takes his time to shine to show off his vocal chops instead of some bars off the top. Watch the freestyle above. On Wednesday night, listening party for his New English mixtape to much fanfare and it's expected to drop soon.

Dedicated to creating a kinder, happier, healthier world
The Secret of Happiness
Surprise, surprise! Adam and Eve never existed!
Posted on January 13, 2017 by David Lawrence Preston
Surprise, surprise, Adam and Eve never existed! Who says so? No less than the leader of the world's 1.1 billion Roman Catholics, 'G-d's representative on Earth' – the Pope.
Scholars have known for over 200 years that most of the Bible stories are myths, that even the accounts of historical events were written hundreds of years later and contain many inaccuracies. Even the official Gospels, on which the Christian faith depends, have no contemporary written or archaeological evidence (outside the New Testament) to verify them. Surely a man who attracted huge crowds, performed miracles and rose from the dead would have attracted some comment from the Greek, Roman and Jewish authors of the time?
Evenso, for centuries the mainstream churches have doggedly stuck to their guns in the face of the increasing evidence that the very basis of their religion is deeply flawed. In a nutshell, they believe Yeshua came to save humanity from the effects of sin, and G-d's reaction to sin could be traced right back through the Hebrew Scriptures to the very first humans, Adam and Eve, who wickedly ate fruit from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden. This seemingly innocent action led to them being expelled from the Garden.
If there were no Adam and Eve, there was also no 'fall of man', and no need for the 'son of G-d' to come to Earth!
Now enter the debate Pope Francis l, Time Magazine's Man of the Year 2013. In a speech in December 2013, 'His Holiness' claims that 'Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace.'
The Pope continued: 'Like the fable (my italics) of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God.'
As welcome as this is, there are many more fables in both the New and Old Testaments that could be similarly refined – the first creation story in Genesis (which the Adam and Eve story blatantly contradicts), Noah's flood, Abraham's almost-sacrifice of his son Isaac, the Hebrews' enslavement in and eventual escape from Egypt (there is no historical or archaeological evidence for either) led by Moses (he probably didn't exist either), the fall of Jericho (likewise), Jonah and the whale, Job, Daniel in the lions' den, Yeshua's fictitious birth in Bethlehem, his 40 day temptation in the wilderness, burial and resurrection, and Acts' version of Paul of Tarsus' vision on the road to Damascus – and these are just for starters.
For the truth is, most of the Bible has no more basis in fact than the stories of Robin Hood, King Arthur, Sherlock Holmes or James Bond!
Soon after his election, Pope Francis inaugurated a series of discussions of long-held Catholic doctrines and dogmas, aimed at redefining Catholicism as a 'modern and reasonable religion, which has undergone evolutionary changes… We must recognize that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone.'
Then he dropped a few more bombshells: 'The Bible is a beautiful holy book, but like all great and ancient works, some passages are outdated. Some even call for intolerance or judgement. The time has come to see these verses as later interpolations, contrary to the message of love and truth, which otherwise radiates through scripture.'
Needless to say, Pope Francis' latest declarations don't carry the support of everyone in the Catholic Church. Some cardinals are said to be against them, and this is doubtless the case lower down the hierarchy too. One wonders what his predecessor makes of them.
But the most hysterical condemnations have come from that bastion of free speech, the internet. Some critics have suggested he's off his rocker (he's off his rocker?!!!) and others that he's the antichrist forecast in the Book of Revelations, sent as a precursor to the end of time and judgement day.
The Catholic Church has always been behind the times, suspicious of new knowledge and anything which contradicts ancient or existing doctrine, so the Pope's utterances should be universally welcomed. The fact that they haven't been by evangelicals, apocalysts and other religious nutters should only strengthen our resolve to bring the truth out into the open.
