The writer is an author and journalist.
IT was a meeting between two unpredictable leaders and they seem to have struck a chord. Putting behind the bitterness of the Twitter war that the two had engaged in previously, President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Imran Khan have found some common ground to move forward on.
This week's summit talks in Washington have broken the ice, putting back on track a mainly transactional relationship between the two erstwhile allies. It's once again the lingering Afghan crisis that has brought them together.
Predictably, the talks at the White House revolved around Afghanistan and regional security. It was quite significant that for the first time the military leadership of both sides participated in deliberations, reinforcing the perception that it mainly remains a security-oriented relationship.
The US needs Pakistan's support to extricate itself from a festering war it has never been able to win.
It's an interesting development that the Trump administration now sees Pakistan more as part of the solution than the cause of the problem in Afghanistan. And Pakistan is happy to cooperate in return for an assurance that its national security concerns will be addressed. There is, indeed, a convergence of interest, notwithstanding the huge trust deficit between the two countries.
Surely, relations between Washington and Islamabad, as Trump said, are 'much better now than before'. But it still remains tenuous given the existing strategic divergence. One positive point was that there was no 'do more' mantra from the US side this time.
One of the reasons for the change in the environment was Pakistan's crackdown on militant groups, especially the arrest of Hafiz Saeed under terrorism laws on the eve of the visit. The US had placed a $10 million bounty on the head of the founder of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Trump's remarks at the joint presser mark a welcome change from his earlier vitriolic statements that held Pakistan responsible for the worsening Afghan conflict. He now believes that Pakistan can save "millions of lives in Afghanistan" because "they have a power that other nations don't have with respect to Afghanistan". In other words, the Trump administration needs Pakistan's support to extricate itself from a festering war that the US has never been able to win.
Undoubtedly, Pakistan has played a very important role in facilitating peace negotiations between the US and the Afghan Taliban, that have shown significant progress; the effort has been duly acknowledged by the US president. But a major question is whether Pakistan can meet American expectations.
Although Imran Khan is hopeful that the Taliban can be persuaded to talk to the Kabul government in the coming days, there is still no indication of the insurgents softening their stance. To get the Taliban to agree to a ceasefire would be a major challenge for Pakistan. It will surely be a huge stride forward towards a political settlement in Afghanistan.
Trump's comments about Kashmir too indicate his administration's changing stance over a lingering problem that is causing instability in South Asia. But his offer of mediation in the dispute seemed more of an off-the-cuff remark than a serious proposition. Pakistan has always supported third-party arbitration, but India has never approved any such suggestion.
So the hysterical Indian response to Trump's comments is not surprising. Yet one would like to know what the Indian prime minister really told the US president in their meeting on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Osaka last month. There must have been some discussion there about Pakistan-India tensions that Trump was referring to. According to the US president, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked him, "Would you like to be a mediator?" It will be interesting to know what exactly the Indian prime minister meant.
It was, however, extremely important for Imran Khan to highlight the Kashmir dispute that has made the region a potential nuclear flashpoint. It is imperative to make the US administration realise that Afghan peace is also linked to the lowering of tensions between Pakistan and India. The US may not be able to mediate on Kashmir, but as Imran Khan said, Washington can play "the most important role in bringing peace to the subcontinent".
Improving trade and economic relations was another key subject discussed in Washington. The resumption of US aid may not be a major concern for Pakistan's prime minister; investment and economic cooperation figured more importantly in the meetings. The American president, too, seemed interested in increasing US investment and expanding trade ties with Pakistan. There are certainly many more opportunities to be explored. That could help broaden Pakistan-US relations beyond a purely security paradigm.
More importantly, Pakistan needs US help to stave off the looming threat of being blacklisted by the Paris-based terror-financing watchdog FATF. In June 2018, Pakistan was placed on the grey list due to its 'strategic deficiencies' in the anti-money-laundering and terrorism-financing regime pushed by the US.
Pakistan missed its May 2019 deadline, one which required the country to keep terror financing and money laundering in check. Now Pakistan is required to swiftly implement its action plan by October this year. The possibility of being blacklisted could have serious ramifications for Pakistan and increase its isolation in the international community.
Although the watchdog does not have the power to impose sanctions, it can affect international transactions because it exposes states to greater scrutiny. Such restrictions would have disastrous implications for Pakistan's fragile economy. US support is critical to prevent such an action.
Indeed, the prime minister's visit to Washington has helped thaw Pakistan's relations with the US. But there have also been some sore points during the trip that could have been avoided.
Undoubtedly, the huge rally of Pakistani Americans in Washington was a testimony of support for Imran Khan among the expatriates. However, his speech threatening opposition leaders was unbecoming of a leader representing the country. It seems that he cannot overcome his container habits. In the first place, a leader must not talk about domestic political differences outside the country. But unfortunately, Imran Khan has never been able to rise above petty politics. What he does not understand is that no foreign policy can be successful without political stability at home.

And just whose side was Pakistan on in that war?
Mansur Ul Haque
Prime Minister visit to US has helped to mend the fences of mistrust. To day world is global village. Everybody needs each other help. Focus our efforts for the development of our country. As somebody said don't except any trophy from this visit. This visit is successful. Make efforts to make best possible for the benifit of your country. Don't go beyond that because that will generate misunderstanding and depression. Hopefully our government after this successful visit keep their feet on ground.
Moazam Beg
Trump has been a serial liar and never keeps his words. We will be foolish if we bank on him to get out of FATF greylist. He maybe saying something and his officials maybe working in the opposite direction. Not trustworthy people in general.
Nagoree
China has higher and long-term stake than US, in resolution of Kashmir issue. If it can succeed in convincing both sides to accept LoC as International border; not only will India drop objection to CPEC through Pakistani Kashmir, but will open the door for Indian trade with Central Asia, through Pakistan, translating into significant transit revenue.
M M AMIN(Old Ravian)
Mr Zahid Hussain has comprehensively covered the subject of the PMs meeting with President Trump .Days ahead will show how the events unfold .Pakistanis in the US may see a bit better days now onward .
Lal Kabutar
Right to the point.
"Should have," "But," "However," "Missed," .. only "If" you had a positive outlook Mr. Zahid, you would know that progress is made incrementally and not over night. "But" of course you are good at opinionated journalism.

I respectfully disagree. I attended the address at the Capital one arena in DC. The audience applauded the most when he talked about holding the corrupt politicians accountable. They are responsible for the miserable state of our country's economy. I think it is imperative that he talks about what corruption and corrupt leaders have done to our country- not only in Pakistan but also at international level. The plague of corruption has to be eradicated by not talking about it behind closed doors.
A week from now all this noise will die down and it will be back to bills that cannot be paid in pakistan.
Well it was a political gathering and he has every right to say whatever he has to say. Secondly accountability was Imran Khan key point in election campaign. He is only telling people what they know but it's confirming there point of view.
Is it easy to get the looted money back from the Sharif and Zardari families?. They would not return ill gotten billions of dollars back to Pakistan treasury until they are repeatedly fully exposed both internally and internationally, held accountable and left with no choice but to return the looted money. In that context Imran Khan speeches regarding them are moves in the right direction.
He was addressing Pakistani community and has every right to discuss domestic politics. Overseas Pakistanis CAN vote now and need to be addressed regarding domestic politics. Please don't try to mingle his other speeches abroad with his speech to PAKISTANI community abroad. Thank you.

what exactly was "Hysterical" in Indian denial of the mediation sought by Modi? You could have easily completed the article without taking the creative liberty...
ShoaibAhmed
There have been a lot of positives for IK US visit. He got a warm welcome from overseas Pakistanis. He shouldn't have ridiculed former PM and President. His remarks depict how we are divided internally. The very first point any foreign force observe what is our internal state, are you united or divided?
I read the whole article to find our the sore points he should have avoided. I don't see anything wrong in telling Pakistanis in USA about the issues created by PPP and PML N and what's he is doing to solve those issues. He spoke like a true patriot and there is nothing wrong with it.
@Vivek Lahore, I guess just like Nawaz and zardari were never honest and have no intention of becoming honest.
Swiss Neutral
"One positive point from PM's trip to Washington was that there was no 'do more' mantra from US this time" True. It is replaced by we both are on the page and we will do "not just more" but everything USA wants us to do!!!!!
The best part of the visit is Pakistan has not been threatened by any new punitive measures. President Trump is punishing trade partners left and right with duties. Though our trade surplus with US is puny but equally important for our economy. So we are not going to lose it for few years till Afghanistan issues are resolved. Second benefit is that India is out of Afghan equation and will remain so if US reaches a deal with Taliban. This will improve security situation on our western border and Baluchistan. Third positive was that due to Indian belligerence in February US has better understanding about Kashmir as a flashpoint and Imran Khan ably highlighted it. So overall Pakistan viewpoint is better understood by President Trump and it will help us particularly if he won second term next year.
Reallydoesntmatter
He was speaking to his fellow Pakistanis so he had every right to make that speech. Pakistanis in Lahore or D.C are still Pakistanis.
Positive when it prevails!!!
Hasn't it been ever a lose lose situation for our country? When we talk about the deaths of more than seventy thousand Pakistanis including over ten thousand soldiers, who is looking after their families and paying for the upkeep of the same? What sort of compensation, if any, has been provided to the families of the killed civilians and by whom? Any one willing to answer the questions?
Jawad Asif
He didn't highlight the internal politics, he highlighted the steps need to be taken to curb corruption. If apposition is linked to it then what he can do.
M. Saeed
When Imran Khanhas already given much more than needed, why harp on extra much more"
desi dimag
What's the need to ask when PMIK accepted himself to do a lot more?
Saif Zulfiqar
This time US President was talking with the honest PM of Pakistan and not the looters of Pakistan.
Domestic issues and national issues of Pakistan are strongly related.
That does not mean it was do less. There was nothing concrete agreed upon other than a reset of the relationship. Let's see what happens in the next few months to truly understand the effectiveness of this trip and the meetings.
Honest Opinion
Last paragraph is a good lesson for IK.
This time mantra was we will do everything.
Agnes Mical
USA has already tried & tested Pakistan's support to defeat terrorists in South Asia.
Pakistan should think what next after Afghanistan. Besides their own countrymen probably they have to feed Afghans as well.
The establishment in Pakistan may be exulting in pride to hear that the war in Afghanistan cannot come to end without its help. It is a false and inhuman pride to be able to help bring a war to an early end and not do it. Sincerity of spoken words is fragrant. Lip service is foul breath. DAWN 20/12/18
Jiwan
Since US don't have any more leverage on Pakistan, therefore not asking for do more.
Ashok De, Calgary
@Moazam Beg, Your statement is 1000 percent correct. Unfortunately Pakistan always believed that the great Country will help them and solve all the problems of Pakistan. This belief brought Pakistan to tatters as now. Now Pakistan should forget what President had said about the disputed land. USA is Dem. country and the President can not do whatever he likes or say. Pakistan has to do its own work by himself period. However, President's remark had created a long waited humorous atmosphere. Ashok De, Calgary, Canada.
A well balanced and hysterical analysis of PMIK's hysterical trip to the US. Hysterical thanks!
Very good analysis by Mr Zahid Hussain. Totally agree with him especially the last paragraph. A really good leader will never say such words about other politicians especially in front of international audience. And just how serious he is in getting rid of corruption is truly reflected in the selection of his cabinet ministers.
Bikram Singh Thappa
Because he agreed to do more in the close doors.
Ali kazmi
@numbersnumbers , Pakistan was on Pakistan's side.
Darshan Suri
Whatever agreed between IK and trump has no meaning. Trump can reverse himself in a second. A very dangerous president.
Difficult to ask anyone to do more when they haven't done anything.
Saad Bin Razzaq
I disagree with the writer. If we say that IK is not a very seasoned politician same is applicable to Donald Trump but the reality is that both these leaders head their respective states. I think it will more sensible if we don't expect any major outcome of this meeting. This was good enough to clear the ambiguities and have Pakistan back in the good books of the US. The need of the hour is that we build good relations with the US and all the powerful economies of the world and improve our country situation to attract foreign investment
eyes ears open
@Moazam Beg, So it seems a good match then..
The very people who were against Trump, now want him to win a 2nd term.
Muzaffar Ali
Time will tell what is expected from us!
A Friend from India
What about Imran's property in UK?
Frankly there is really little that we can do.
Remember this..? Jan 1, 2018 - The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies... He hasn't changed just telling IK what IK wants to here.
Simple Logic
As the Americans say, "Politics ends at water's edge" i.e. as soon as you leave your own shores, leave your political differences behind and speak with one voice for the country. A point forever lost on Imran Khan.
"In other words, the Trump administration needs Pakistan's support to extricate itself from a festering war that the US has never been able to win." The US or for that matter any other country cannot win a war till supply lines and source of procurement are intact which is Pakistan. Hence he is showing lot of love for Pakistan.
Imran Khan has opened American eyes and minds as to the sacrifices Pakistan has made in both human and economic terms by supporting the American war in Afghanistan and to the dangers the world faces if the Kashmir issue remains unresolved. All in all a fruitful foreign trip.

Is JWoww Moving On From Roger Mathews With 'Jersey Shore' Co-star Pauly D?
Jenni 'JWoww' Farley has filed for divorce from her estranged husband Roger Mathews — which kind of makes her a single woman. The mom of two and 'Jersey Shore' co-star Pauly D hooked up in the beginning seasons of the MTV show but are they reigniting their flame.
Ever since Jenni announced that she was splitting from Roger, fans suggested that she reunite with Pauly D (who is no longer dating Aubrey O'Day). Some viewers of the show love the chemistry that they have and believe that the internationally known DJ would never treat her the way Mathews did.
Rumors started swirling that the duo may have followed fans advice when Pauly threw his castmate a surprise birthday party on March 10 that put a wide smile on her face. Unfortunately, the friends remain just that.
"JWoww and Pauly have nothing but love for one another and are very dear friends and would do anything for one another. However, Jenni isn't thinking about dating right now, nor would she look at Pauly like that. She's so focused on her skincare line Naturally Woww and her kids. Pauly is getting ready to do a dating show with BFF Vinny (Guadagnino), too," the insider added.
The dating show mentioned above is 'Double Shot at Love with DJ Pauly D & Vinny' and is slated to premiere on Thursdays this April.

Emigrato negli Stati Uniti, diventò regista cinematografico, lavorando all'epoca del muto.

Biografia
Nato in Germania, era fratello dell'attore Josef Swickard. Attore teatrale, il suo nome appare nei primi anni del Novecento in alcune produzioni di Broadway anche in qualità di commediografo.

Negli Stati Uniti, diventò regista lavorando per Thomas H. Ince alla New York Motion Picture Company. Tra i suoi film, una versione del 1916 del capolavoro di Dumas, un The Three Musketeers interpretato da Louise Glaum e Dorothy Dalton.

Nella sua carriera cinematografica, che è durata non più di sei anni (dal suo esordio nel 1914 come attore e sceneggiatore, al suo ultimo film che risale al 1920), Charles Swickard appare in una quarantina di pellicole come regista, come attore in dieci film, come sceneggiatore in altri tre. Nel 1916, si cimentò anche come produttore nel western Mixed Blood, da lui diretto, che aveva per protagonista Claire McDowell.

Vita privata
Suo fratello Josef era sposato all'attrice Margaret Campbell che, nel 1939, sarebbe poi stata brutalmente assassinata dal figlio.

The name of Chgallos influences you to be refined and inspirational, and to think deeply about life. You have a restless urge for knowledge and a need to serve a worthwhile purpose. You have a clever and analytical mind and could be brilliant in areas that hold your interest such mathematics or science. It is difficult for you to accept advice from others or any interference with your choices. Your independent nature, the need for freedom from restrictions, and your kinship to the out-of-doors could lead you to seek occupations in forestry, fishing, aviation, or as a game warden, etc. You desire peace and tranquillity, but more often attract turbulence and chaotic experiences that are bitter. It is not easy for you to maintain harmony in close relationships. You crave love and understanding and are easily hurt or offended. Instead of expressing your deeper feelings so that others may understand you, you withdraw into moods of depression, jealousy, and unhappiness, and distance yourself from those who care. It is often only through writing that you can express your higher ideals, or convey your deep appreciation for those you love. It is difficult for you to cope with discordant situations or heavy responsibilities.

BIG READ: THE KILLING Investigation Returns for 2nd Season
March 30, 2012 August 3, 2013
The Killing, YVRSHOOTS Series
Published March 30, 2012 on Vancouver is Awesome
The investigation returns this Sunday night with The Killing's two-hour second season premiere on AMC and a new marketed tagline — Be Careful What You Uncover — on the show's poster. Following a Twitter riot over last season's finale, showrunner Veena Sud has promised that the central mystery and last season's marketed tagline — Who Killed Rosie Larsen? — will be solved in this season's finale.
In addition to not solving the murder in last June's finale, The Killing turned Joel Kinnaman's detective Stephen Holder, one of the few likable characters, into a seeming villain, who betrayed Mireille Enos's lead detective Sarah Linden and set up Seattle mayoral candidate Darren Richmond for arrest. So it's not surprising that in early filming of season two in Vancouver (which began in late November and is scheduled to wrap in late April), I never found Enos and Kinnaman at the same location shoot.
The set-in-Seattle cop drama debuted last spring with what is considered to be one of the smartest, most stylish and rainiest pilots in years but lost its lustre along the way with too many red herrings and erratic writing. I balked in the third episode when writers clumsily explained gallons of blood smeared on the walls around The Cage in the high school basement as the product of a nose bleed and the rape video as a young girl (Vancouver's own Kacey Rohl)'s desire for attention. But I stuck with the series to the end and will be back on Sunday night because I developed an attachment to these characters. And that's the dichotomy: the performances are sublime even when the plotting goes array.
Entertainment Weekly magazine named and photographed Mireille Enos and .Joel Kinnaman as Entertainers of the Year in 2011 along with other AMC show casts and later singled out Kinnaman as a Breakout TV star in 2011 for his "new partner" character Holder (Kinnaman joked that one of the privileges of going to Swedish acting school is doing two months of rain tower). But the same magazine also put the show on its Bullseye 2011 TV Edition with this caption — "The Killing in three words: It rained. Disappointed." — and named the season finale as one of the worst TV episodes of the year for being unwilling or incapable of resolving the Who killed Rosie Larsen? mystery in a single season.
EW's criticism is mild at best compared to the vitriol spewed by other TV critics. Early this year, showrunner Veena Sud backed out of a The Killing panel at the Winter Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, leaving it to the AMC President to talk about The Killing's upcoming season. Lost showrunner Damon Lindeloff thought she should take her lumps, tweeting "We showed up after cages and Nikki and Paolo. Take your medicine, guys." But TV critics actually hissed when AMC's Joel Stillerman spoke about The Killing, even after he asked them to "Be nice".
Despite the controversy or maybe in part because of it, The Killing leads gather more acclaim. Mireille Enos, who spent the summer in Europe playing Brad Pitt's wife in the upcoming feature film World War Z, looked radiant at the Golden Globes, where she was nominated for her lead performance. She and Michelle Forbes picked up Emmy nominations too (as did Veena Sud for writing the pilot and Patty Jenkins for directing it). And Joel Kinnaman has just been cast as the lead in a reboot of RoboCop.
So these are no longer two relative unknowns filming in our city and there have been a few more security measures as result. Early on in the filming of season two, I photographed this clandestine meeting of Holder with Gil, played by Brian Markinson, under the Granville Bridge.
My photo at the top of Joel Kinnaman as Holder exiting his beater car, cell phone to ear, was of another Holder-Gil meetup, this time in cofee shop at the corner of Main and Alexander in Gastown.
A little while later, I found Mireille Enos as Detective Sarah Linden investigating the aftermath of a bombing, filmed in Chinatown. My photo of her isn't crisp because of all the fake smoke I had to strip out but I kept it because it's such a Sarah Linden expression on her face.
Almost everyone in the cast seems to be back for the second season. The new poster shows the bereaved Larsen family, as well as suspect Seattle Mayoral candidate Darren Richmond and his campaign workers. Apparently, I just missed seeing Brent Sexton on set as Stan Larsen dressed in shorts and carrying a baseball bat (I saw his double setting up the scene but left when asked) and there have been sightings of the two young actors who play the sons but not of Michelle Forbes as the mother Mitch or Jamie Ann Allman as her sister Terry yet. And while I have not seen Billy Campbell on location as Darren Richmond (who was about to be shot in last year's season finale) or his campaign love Kristin Lehman as Gwen Eaton, I have photographed Eric Ladin on location as campaign manager Jamie Wright.
We should also get to play some more rounds of Spot-the-Local-Actor in season two. I'm especially looking forward to the return of Patrick Gilmore as sleezy billionaire Tom Drexler; Brandon Jay Mclaren as Bennet Ahmed; and Kacey Rohl and Richard Harman as Rosie Larsen's schoolmates.
Of course there will be new characters too as the political conspiracy unfolds, such as Lt. Carlson, a politically-savvy Seattle police officer played by Mark Moses of Desperate Housewives and Mad Men fame. I did see Moses about town and on set for a guest appearance on Fairly Legal, but not on location for the filming of his eight episodes of The Killing.
As the investigation continues, The Killing has returned to several downtown and downtown eastside spots: Quayside Marina in Yaletown where Regi's boat is moored, the S.A. Larsen exterior at the old Burrard Ironworks building near the Main Street overpass, the Seattle police station at Hastings & Carrall and Lord Strathcona School, among others.
That's Mireille Enos at the top being battered by real rain and wind at Quayside Marina in Yaletown, but there are hints that the second season of The Killing will have a little less rain and more sun. Despite Joel Kinnaman's extensive rain-tower experience, this season I spotted a production assistant standing at the ready with a big umbrella on set to shelter him from light rain between takes.
A drier The Killing. Say it isn't so.

You don't always have to shell out money for succulent plants. If you want to grow your own succulent garden, you need only a couple of different variants of your favorite succulents and you can grow the garden from there. All you need are some shears, the right soil, a pot, and some water. Voila, you can propagate succulents just from leaves and cuttings from your current plants.
Ever wonder how you can propagate succulents so you can simply spend your money on one CAL Farms Beautiful 36 of 2″ Assorted Succulents and grow the garden from there?
The succulent's genus and species will determine how easy or hard it is to propagate them. Though most of the variants of succulents are easy to propagate, nothing is the same when it comes to the climate and the nutrients of the soil where it is being planted anew. Here are some examples: Sedums and Echeverias can be propagated through cuttings and leaves while Aeoniums only work with cuttings.
If you want to take a leaf for propagation, you only need to gently twist the leaf off the stem. Make sure it's a clean twist and pull because you don't want to leave anything on the stem. If you want, you can pull off a bit of the stem, too, just make sure you have the whole full leaf with you. If you get only part of the leaf and cut it off right before the stem, there's a big chance your succulent will not thrive.
If you don't want to cut leaves off your succulent plant, you can actually buy the leaves to propagate. Some are really sensitive about cutting off from their beloved plants. Buying just the leaves is an inexpensive way of growing your succulent garden rather than buying a succulent plant that has already grown.
Before you do a cutting of your succulent plant, you have to make sure that your shears are sharp. Otherwise, you may be jeopardizing the quality of the cuttings. Cut off a piece of succulent just above a leaf on the stem. You can choose to cut off the top of the succulent or a new offshoot. Either way will work just fine.
It is important to make sure that the leaves are dried out completely before beginning to water them. Depending on the amount of heat and the climate in your area, you should let the leaf dry out for one to three days. It will then scab over. If it doesn't, it will take too much water when you start watering it and it can drown without even having a chance to grow. If you see that the leaf has started to shrivel, that's about time you start watering it.
Fully-grown succulent plants don't need to be watered every day, but leaves and cuttings do. You just have to make sure you don't use too much water because there is a tendency for leaves and cuttings to drown. If you see that they have turned orangey-brown, then that's a sign that they are getting too much water and they are about to die.

Insignificant https://www.brutalresonance.com/review/mordacious-insignificant/ Dark Electro, Industrial Mordacious Nick Quarm Very surprising release this is. Judging by the artwork, I was honestly expecting something Gothic and Vampiric, even (dare I say) amateur. Despite the simplistic nature of some of the track titles ("Kill Them", "I'm Sorry", "Selfish"), Mordacious Mortem deserves a lot of credit for the way this release blows off all dispositions. The opener "Kill Them" is actually a very strong, very stompy Electronic track, flowing in the same vein as the legendary act Suicide Commando. 'Insignificant' takes a Wolfsheim'esque progression, and makes it sound like a Psytrance club tune. Absolutely excellent stuff. The one real surprise here however, is "Gutter Glitter". Many people overlooked this track, and it isn't even mentioned in the album liner notes, so for those who recognise the name, consider yourselves educated. It is in fact a cover, of Gothic legends Switchblade Symphony. The album from which it is taken "Serpentine Gallery" is quite a find.

Is it important to show the current year alongside my (c) Copyright symbol?
Should I update the copyright notice every January? as in
© ACME Corp 2011
I'm not asking about how or whether to claim copyright at all (that is dealt with here), but whether the year has any importance.
hawbslhawbsl
You should always write the word "Copyright", not merely rely on the & copy ; symbol. – Charles Jun 22 '12 at 2:28
@Charles - why should you? The symbol © means copyright. It's pointless if you have to write the word copyright as well...? – zigojacko Jan 31 '14 at 14:44
The date is supposed to be when it was published. So if content is ongoing then it could be a range or it could be the date of the most recent revision. If the site has had no changes then it should be the earliest date.
Some people prefer it to be recent to look fresh, others prefer to make it as long ago as possible to show they got there first. Basically there is no convention and as you mentioned in your question it means absolutely nothing legally so you can put whatever you like.
JamesRyanJamesRyan
For most, the copyright date could also be seen as a way to determine if the site is maintained or not. If the site has been around for a while, putting the full range of years would be an easy way to show longevity. Also, regardless of the intent of the copyright/date, if its listed as a few years old, the perception would be that the site isn't maintained and you could get traffic bounces as a result. – SubTypical Jan 25 '11 at 15:46
Most sites simply automatically print the current year or their starting year to current year, so it doesn't really help the user determine if the site is maintained or not. There are better indicators for that IMO. I personally think you should be honest to the user about when a page was published/updated. If the content is a few years old, let the user know. Minimize bounce rates by actually updating a site rather than just giving the illusion of maintaining the site. That said, the standard founding - now copyright line is more convenient in a site-wide template. – Lèse majesté Jan 26 '11 at 12:57
Warning! The use of date ranges, though common, has not been tested in courts. It may not give full protection! – Charles Jun 22 '12 at 2:28
Read the link in the original question. The listing of dates at all is purely informational, and not legally required whatsoever. Copyright is automatically in force when you create something. – JamesRyan Jun 22 '12 at 18:20
I've seen some copyrights that say "Copyright 20xx-present", is this allowed? – Aaron Franke Feb 19 '19 at 8:22
To my knowledge, JamesRyan is right in that it means nothing as legality goes. Having said that, I've found that it does tend to have an effect on users.
Back in the day, it was commonplace to indicate content freshness via the "Website Last Updated" blurb. Since that's no longer the rage, I've had many a user refer to using the copyright date as a rudimentary freshness check.
Bearing that in mind, I think it's prudent to keep it updated but there's no need to update it manually. It's pretty easy to handle with a bit of server code:
In PHP:
© 2009 – <?php echo date('Y'); ?> YourSite.com
TyKishaTyKisha
The inclusion of the date is not mandatory in all countries, but the date, and the name, along with the symbol (legal device) form part of the formal assertion of rights. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_notice
Mike HudsonMike Hudson
If you have a website that's been up for more than a year, you should include the date range of how long it has been live. For example, if you put your website online in 2001, your copyright should look like this: © ACME Corp 2001-2011
Any reasons why you say this? I don't see how that would affect the copyright of the content. – John Conde♦ Jan 25 '11 at 15:01

Part of the Eastern Western Motor Group
Eastern Western Motor Group
In 1910 John Brown, our founder, was born. Although he was trained as an insurance broker and accountant, his love of cars, which later led him to competitive motor sport, drew him towards the motor trade and led to the formation of Eastern Motor Company. In 1952 the now well established business of Eastern Motor Company was run from a showroom in George Street, Edinburgh, adjacent to the Assembly Rooms. John took his company emblem from the weather vane on St. Georges Church at the West End of George Street and to this day that weather vane with its Eastern / Western pointer continues as the company motif.
Eastern Western Motor Group decided a long time ago to focus the business on retailing only executive, quality or niche products and to this day sticks to this principle. The other over-arching principle of the company is to make these products affordable. The oft quoted maxim of 'Making Luxury Cars Affordable' is more appropriate now than ever.
Eastern Western now represent 16 of the World's Top Brands from over thirty businesses, stocks over 3000 New and Used Cars and geographically covers an area from the Highlands of Scotland to the North east of England.
Eastern Western Motor Group makes every effort to provide a fabulous retail environment for its customers and staff and in doing so now trades from some of the most modern and bespoke facilities anywhere in the UK.
EWMG is proud to be Scotland's leading privately owned dealer group and looks forward to serving its customers and communities now and in the future. EWMG intends that the business remain independent, family-owned and financially secure thus providing a safe haven for its customer and a rewarding place to work for its staff.
Our Retailers are members of The Motor Ombudsman, an impartial service to provide dispute resolution. If you would like further information on The Motor Ombudsman, please visit the link below.

Hi guys so long story short, I'm a player from Ragnaros that transferred recently because of a guild that said that I performed well on Mythrax so they're speeding my trial up, then they benched me for 3 weeks after the kill and now they've said I've failed my trial. I'm not going to mention the guild's name, but it was Sparks.
Anyway, I'm looking for a guild for next tier with similar progress to mine in this tier. I've got a BDK DH and BDruid on Ragnaros, which potentionally could be transferred but I'm not going to unless I know I've got a spot in the team.

Quake-damaged Christ Church Cathedral to be restored
The Anglican Church's synod has decided to reinstate the church, after taking a vote on Saturday. The reinstatement option includes a government grant of $10 million and a $15m suspensory loan. NZN
The Anglican Synod has decided to reinstate Christ Church Cathedral.
In a decision revealed this afternoon, the church has announced it will now work with the Christchurch City Council and Government to begin the reinstating process.
The decision has come after a three-day gathering of the 225-member Canterbury Synod.
It's the first clear indication of the Church's intentions for the building, since it was ruined in the 2010/2011 earthquakes.
It has been more than six years since the Gothic-style 136-year-old cathedral was badly damaged in the 6.3-magnitude February 22, 2011 earthquake that devastated the Garden City.
The Synod was deciding between restoration, gifting the building to the Government, or demolition and replacing with a new cathedral.
Ahead of the decision by the church's synod, Christchurch politicians urged the Anglican Church to restore the earthquake-crippled Cathedral.
Regeneration Minister Nicky Wagner and Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel spoke to a 200-member synod yesterday at St Christopher's Church in Avonhead.
Dalziel described the cathedral devastated by the 2011 quake that killed 185 people, as the heart and soul of the city.
The Government and Christchurch City Council made an offer of $35 million and promised to fast-track the legislation if restoration was chosen.
Debate on whether the cathedral should be restored to its former glory, partly reinstated, or demolished and replaced with a modern new building have raged between the church, heritage campaigners and the public for the past six-and-a-half years.
Bishop Victoria Matthews said she was delighted that after six and a half years a decision had been made.
"It was not an overwhelming but a very clear majority," Matthews said.
"I had told the synod whatever they decided I would back them up and that's exactly what I did."
Matthews said the "generous government offer of $50 million" toward the restoration and a capped amount of what the church was liable for made her "completely comfortable" with the decision.
She said some of the 220-member synod did feel pressure with the government vocal on a full restoration but they voted freely.
"Some did feel pressure there were others that thought it was an opportunity," Matthews said.
"It was free choice, we could have said no, we could have gone in a different direction altogether."
Matthews said the rebuilding process would be a long one. She said completion with 10 years was "a pretty safe bet."
Wagner said she's delighted that ChristChurch Cathedral will be reinstated.
"This is the best possible outcome for Christchurch. We finally have an agreed decision to reinstate the heart of our city," Wagner said.
"For many years the Cathedral has sat broken and neglected, detracting from all the amazing work taking place in Christchurch.
"This decision gives the Church, the community, businesses and tourism bodies the certainty they've been looking for."
Christchurch Mayor Dalziel said it was a hard decision for the Synod. She said she felt "emotional" about the decision made be the Synod and thanked them and Bishop Matthews for the time and thought they had put into the decision.
Lawyers would now go over the finer details of the decision before the public were advised of them.
Dalziel said reinstating the cathedral meant people could unite around the decision rather than it being one that divided the community.
Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga was delighted at the announcement to restore Christ Church Cathedral, having been involved as an advisor to the Government appointed working party during the decision-making process.
Acting Chief Executive Claire Craig said the restoration would bring significant heritage, economic and social benefits to Christchurch.
"Rebuilding the Cathedral will be a significant milestone in the redevelopment of the city," Craig said.
"With so much heritage lost following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, the recovery of the city's defining landmark will be welcomed by locals and visitors alike."
The Cathedral is listed Category 1 with Heritage New Zealand, reflecting its regional, national and international significance.
A recent church-commissioned survey found the Christchurch community was evenly-split on whether the cathedral should be rebuilt or demolished.


#4.07: Spread The Word — The Gap's "Casting Call" Issue | Andy Sernovitz | Damn, I Wish I'd Thought of That!
Good viral marketing is never an accident. Learn how The Gap used every trick to turn a simple email campaign into a viral marketing success.
The ultimate hope of email marketing is the possibility that a single message is going to turn into a viral marketing phenomenon, getting forwarded to millions of new customers. On that rare occasion when you get lucky and it happens, make sure you're ready to capture that new business. You need to make sure that you have all the pieces in place to support and enhance that word-of-mouth energy and turn it into new business. The Gap recently produced the email marketing campaign "Casting Call," which was a search for new models to appear in Gap print advertisements. What looked like a simple email contained all the essential elements of a great viral campaign. They received more 500,000 votes for new models, from the millions who had received the email from friends.
You never know who received your email message from a friend. Make sure every new reader is given multiple chances to join your list. Many great viral marketing opportunities fall flat because they fail to ask for email addresses — which is priority #1. The Gap asks recipients to sign up for a list three times. The email message contains an offer to subscribe to the list if you received it from a friend. Then, when you click on the link in the message, the form to vote in the contest asks you to join the list again. Finally, when you submit the form, the page you are taken to has yet another offer to subscribe. You should always assume that anyone who gets your email may not be a subscriber themselves — you still have to do the work to get them on your list.
THE LESSON: Convert word-of-mouth prospects into new customers by doing what it takes to get permission to email them again.
THE LESSON: The little things add up. Be smart about your forms and watch your subscribers do the work for you.
Here is a lesson that is repeated as often as it is forgotten: Follow through to the finish. After using forms to solicit information, use your "thank you" page for one last push. After readers complete the forms in The Gap's contest, they are taken to a clean, simple web page. What's on that page? Yet another request to sign up for the email list, with another large ad for the promotion. In addition, Gap uses the page to cross-market a sale at Gap stores.
THE LESSON: Use every last impression to get what you want.

The EU and you
Tory MEPs vote against EU action to tackle child poverty
Conservative MEPs voted today against a report calling for the European Commission and national governments to take action to reduce inequalities - especially child poverty.
Siôn Simon MEP, Labour's European Parliament spokesperson on employment and social affairs, said:
"Labour MEPs have always championed a better quality of life, especially for the most vulnerable in society - while Tory MEPs seem intent on maintaining a situation where poverty needlessly affects young people.
"2.3 million children are living in poverty in the UK, and this report calls for a real commitment from national governments to tackle the factors which are causing child poverty and increase the scope of social support for children.
"The factors that influence child poverty the most are wealth redistribution policies and labour policy, particularly salary levels and social rights, and this report promotes labour laws that guarantee a statutory adequate minimum wage in accordance with national practices and collective agreements, which will provide greater security for families and fight precarious employment like zero-hours contracts."
Siôn Simon MEP added:
"Social inequality reproduces disadvantages and is at the very core of child poverty, and today's report tackles both the consequences and causes of child poverty. It is more important than ever in the UK where the number of children living in poverty has risen and risen.
"Labour MEPs believe children should be guaranteed the right to education, health services, housing, protection, to participate in decisions that affect them, leisure and free time, a balanced diet and to be raised within a family.
"The UK and EU still have a long way to go to achieve those goals and we welcome this important step in achieving those aims."

Raymond Zink, and wife Ruth, of Flint, watch geese at a duck pond at Woodhaven Senior Community in Flint Township. The couple recently celebrated their 75th anniversary.
FLINT TOWNSHIP, Michigan -- Under the wooden pergola, down by the geese pond with its spraying fountain, Ruth and Raymond Zink often sit, holdings hands and reminiscing of days they alone have shared.
It is a comfort for this Flint Township couple. The time alone to talk, to spend in one another's constant caring companionship, is not taken for granted for a second these days.
They recently celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary. It's a feat few will achieve. In that time, the Zinks have learned, the memories and time together are really all that matter.
When they first met at a Clio dance hall in the early 1930s, a 19-year-old Ruth wondered if accepting a ride home from this tall, sandy-haired man in the Model A car that had caught her eye was the right thing to do. Neither has ever had any regrets.
"People are amazed we've been together so long," said Ruth Zink, 94, from her apartment inside the Woodhaven Senior Community one day this week. On a side table, readily visible, is their wedding picture, taken on the grounds of First Presbyterian Church in downtown Flint. The date: July 28, 1934.
"Well, when you think that the average life span is 70, 75 years old -- how often do you see that for a marriage's life span?" said Raymond, 95, his hazel eyes bright with enjoyment at beating so many odds. "We're still going strong."
Today, bank tellers, their dentist, even the staff at Woodhaven, express daily their amazement at the couple's longevity.
"It's not something you see every day," beamed daughter Kathryn Sands, who lives close enough to visit every day.
Kathryn Sands said it does not surprise her that her parents have made it so long together. They have always been close, enjoying spending spare time together without the need for his-and-her activities that many other couples require.
"They never wanted to do things without each other," she said.
As Ruth Zink put it, "He didn't golf, and I didn't play cards."
Conversation predictably flows easily between them: One starts a comment, and the other follows without pause.
"We always find things to talk abut," Ruth Zink added.
"Yeah, we keep up on current events," he intoned.
"The economy, for one," she said.
Raymond Zink, pushes his wife Ruth, of Flint, in her wheelchair while headed back to their room after watching geese on Tuesday at a duck pond at Woodhaven Senior Community in Flint Township. The couple recently celebrated their 75th anniversary.
Not surprising, the couple identified family, faith and commitment to one another as the formula that has made their life together work.
The couple said they had their "disputes" like everyone else, but they made a commitment to each other and vowed to always work things out.
"You have to realize that there are always different points of view, but when you get to the point when there's just your view, that's when trouble begins," Raymond Zink said.
He worked for Fisher Body-General Motors for 40 years in the days when "you could go into any one of the shops, walk right in and get a job." He retired in 1974, having worked as a "jig and fixtures" man for much of the time in the former tank plant in Grand Blanc. He had already gone home for the day when the historic lock-in called the Great Sit-down Strike started in 1936.
Ruth Zink worked at home raising their four children until the last one was out of the house, and then she took a job as a cafeteria worker for the Mt. Morris School District.
There were rough patches through the years. They were married just one week when Raymond Zink, a 1931 Flint Central graduate, lost his job at the Chevrolet Plant during the hard times of 1934. They took turns living with his parents, who ran a dairy farm, and her folks, who also ran a farm. Then when World War II began, he had a chance to build aircraft engines in Detroit, and for three months they were apart except for weekends.
"I cried every weekend when he had to go," said Ruth Zink, who today uses the endearment "Rammy" when referring to her husband.
After selling their family home on Wilson Avenue in Mt. Morris, the couple moved to the Independence Village retirement home in Frankenmuth, where they lived happily for 16 years until February. Ruth Zink fell, shattering her leg -- which forced her into a nursing home during her recovery.
Living apart from her Rammy became unbearable, she said, tears welling in her green eyes. In the meantime, Sands found a solution in nearby Woodhaven, where on-site nursing care made it possible for the couple to continue living together.
Recently, the Zinks celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary in style during the noon meal at Woodhaven. There were flowers, balloons and a huge cake from Sam's Club.
After 75 years -- a diamond-anniversary year -- there was no need to exchange gifts.
"They just exchange memories," Sands said.
It was by all accounts a rare occasion at the center.
Marriages lasting 75 years are so rare, the U.S. Census Bureau doesn't even try to count them, said bureau demographer Rose Kreider. A 2004 survey of 35,000 U.S. households capped questions at the 50-year mark, and then those made up only 6 percent of marriages, she said.
In the photograph on the side table in the Zinks' room, a lofty man wears a three-piece suit and bow tie common to the day. He is leaning into a petite, pretty dark-haired woman wearing a silky blue wedding suit, immense corsage and soft-brimmed hat.
Each day together is a good one, they say.

Rolls Royce cites faulty component
British engine manufacturer cites "specific component" engine fault for fire that forced Qantas A380 emergency landing.
Rolls Royce said a failed 'specific component' in its Trent 900 engine led to the engine blow-out [Reuters]
Rolls Royce, the British aircraft engine maker, has blamed a "specific component" failure for last week's mid-air engine blowout of a Qantas A380 plane flying over an Indonesian island.
In a statement on Friday the company said the failure in a part of its Trent 900 engine caused a fire on the superjumbo that forced the Australian airline into an emergency landing in Singapore last week.
Investigators have begun pulling apart the stricken aircraft's engine in an attempt to narrow the search for missing parts.
"These investigations have led Rolls-Royce to draw two key conclusions. First, as previously announced, the issue is specific to the Trent 900," Rolls Royce said.
"Second, the failure was confined to a specific component in the turbine area of the engine. This caused an oil fire, which led to the release of the intermediate pressure turbine disc."
"It is very damaging and consumer confidence is not helped by this… and we still don't know the detail of when [Rolls Royce] can say they are confident their engines won't be exploding in mid-air again"
Kevin Craig, public relations expert
The incident prompted Europe's air safety regulator to order all carriers of A380 planes with Rolls Royce Trent 900 engines to conduct "repetitive tests".
Qantas said on Thursday it had grounded its fleet of A380s indefinitely, while it carries out further safety checks.
Meanwhile Airbus warned that investigations into the Qantas A380 engine failure incident could delay future deliveries of the plane.
"In such a situation, of course, the customer has priority, and the priority is to keep the 39 aircraft flying or back in the air as quickly as possible and I would not rule out some impact on the delivery schedule," said Tom Enders, the Airbus chief executive.
"I don't know how severe that would be," he said, referring to deliveries scheduled for 2011.
But he added that his company expects to deliver up to 22 of the world's largest airliners in 2010.
Kevin Craig, a public relations expert, told Al Jazeera the engine blowout not only damaged the Rolls Royce brand but also the airlines.
"It is very damaging and consumer confidence is not helped by this … share prices have gone through the floor, down over five per cent this past week … and we still don't know the detail of when they can say that they are confident their engines won't be exploding in mid-air again.
"To a brand that is one of the world's most respected brands, where it makes a massive contribution to the company's bottom line, it is a very serious state of affairs."

Q: How to open a redirect link in my app without redirecting to external link? I have the following code (AJS + Cordova):

$scope.update = function () {
        myService.update()
          .then(function (response) {

            $scope.result = response.data;//prints [Object object]
            console.log("Success!..." +  response.data + "result.." + $scope.result);

            angular.forEach($scope.result, function(value, key){

                console.log(key + ': ' + value); //prints success:true

               // $location.url(""+urlToGo);
                $window.location.href = urlToGo;
            })
          },
          function (error) {
            $scope.status = 'Unable toget resposne ' + error;
          });

      };

Here,  $window.location.href = urlToGo; will open a new window in mobile browser, which means user will leave my app. So, is there any technique, I can handle it inside my app using Angular or Cordova, without showing browser to him?

A: The following Link helped me resolve this issue for my Cordova App.
Phonegap - How to open external link inside the app
Briefly from that post:
var onInApp = window.open('http://paymentpage.com', '_blank', 'location=no,hidden=yes,closebuttoncaption=Done,toolbar=no');

I did have to play with the settings dependant upon the platform to get the correct result.
The latest Cordova Docs explain it much better :

Hopefully this will point you in the correct direction.

For the first four years of its existence, the office of Vermont Mutual resided in the small wooden clapboard home of its secretary, Joshua Vail. Reportedly there was no safe for securing money, and for a time, cash was secretly stored in a hole in one the floorboards.
By 1869 the "Old Vermont" had grown to such an extent that a larger building was required. At a cost of $36,280.60, a new building was constructed that remains in Montpelier to this very day.
Vermont Mutual's office remained within those walls until 1954, when they moved to their present day office at 89 State Street, on the very same property that the original clapboard structure resided back in 1828.
Built in 1810, the Federal-style building was one of the first houses on State Street in Montpelier. In 1954, a 106 foot, 2-story addition was added to the rear of the building to house ever-expanding staff. In 1986, as Vermont Mutual continued to grow, a 4-story building was added next door. In October of 2011, an expansive 12,000 square foot facility was constructed in Berlin, Vermont, to bring the total square footage of the Vermont Mutual offices to 50,000 square feet. Through these offices, Vermont Mutual is able to effectively and efficiently serve over 300,000 policyholders.
In 1827 Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Company received its charter and officially opened its doors in 1828.
In 1954 Vermont Mutual purchased the assets of Northern Security Insurance Company, Inc. to make it its subsidiary Company.
In 1967 Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Company changed its name to Vermont Mutual Insurance Company.
In 1995 Vermont Mutual became affiliated with Granite Mutual Insurance Company of Barre, Vermont.
