Wanted terror suspect arrested in Austria as German prosecutors dismiss report on attack plan
BERLIN – Austrian authorities have arrested an alleged Islamic extremist suspected of belonging to a terrorist group, German prosecutors said Saturday.
The 26-year-old, identified only as Yusuf O., was detained in Austria in late May on a German arrest warrant, the Federal Prosecutor's Office said. The arrest had not been made public earlier because extradition procedures are still under way.
The German national of Turkish descent is suspected of involvement with the German Taliban Mujahideen, a fundamentalist group that prosecutors say seeks to carry out attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan and found a "religious fundamentalist society" there. Prosecutors declined to elaborate.
German media reported the suspect underwent paramilitary training in a terror camp in Pakistan's lawless border region and appeared in several Islamist propaganda videos.
On Wednesday, Austrian authorities also arrested four other suspected extremists linked to the German Taliban Mujahideen at Vienna airport on suspicion they were heading off to train at terrorism camps in Afghanistan or Pakistan.
But a spokesman for Germany's Federal Prosecutors Office on Saturday dismissed a report alleging that one of the four suspected extremists was plotting to attack the country's parliament in Berlin with a commercial airplane.
"There are no indications of concrete preparations for an attack in Germany," the official said on condition of anonymity in line with department policy.
Austrian daily Kronen Zeitung reported that 25-year-old suspect had undergone flight training and was plotting to target Berlin's emblematic parliament building by hijacking an airplane.
The newspaper gave no source for its report. Prosecutors in Vienna were not immediately reachable for comment.
German prosecutors said there was no "criminally relevant link" between Yusuf O. and the group of four.
However, the prosecution spokesman added that the group is also under investigation in Germany, though not in connection with a concrete plot but on suspicion of "providing financial support to the violent jihad."
Germany has so far escaped a major terror attack, but several terror plots were foiled in their early stages over the past few years.
In April, German police arrested three suspected al-Qaida members in the western city of Duesseldorf allegedly working on making a shrapnel-laden bomb to attack a crowded place. Authorities believe the cell's alleged ringleader trained in a terror camp in Pakistan.
Germany's domestic intelligence agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, says that about 225 people who are German citizens or have lived in Germany, have undergone paramilitary training in Afghanistan or Pakistan since the 1990s.

US Supreme Court declines to hear appeal of child sex convictions by evangelist Tony Alamo
An attorney for an evangelist convicted of taking young girls across state lines for sex said Saturday that he will continue working to get Tony Alamo's sentence reduced or his conviction overturned despite the refusal by the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal.
Alamo, who was convicted in 2009 of taking five girls he had married across state lines for sex, was sentenced to 175 years in federal prison and ordered to pay each victim $500,000 and was fined $250,000.
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied his appeal earlier this year and defence attorney John Wesley Hall appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court.
The court's refusal to hear the case upholds the lower court ruling, according to U.S. Attorney Connor Eldridge.
The high court's decision not to hear the case was made Monday, according to its website. Hall said he learned of the court's decision, first reported by the Texarkana Gazette, in a letter he received Thursday.
Hall said Saturday that the high court has said that its denial to hear any case is not a reflection of the court's view of the merits of the case.
"You can file a post-conviction petition, to attack the conviction on some denial of rights during the process. Generally, it falls to ineffective counsel at trial," said Hall, who did not represent Alamo during the 2009 trial.
Hall said he has up to a year to submit a filing that would be made in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas in Texarkana, where the trial was held.
Hall said he has not spoken to Alamo, who was born Bernie Lazar Hoffman.
Eldridge said Saturday that he is as pleased as he was when the jury returned with a guilty verdict.
"Of course, our office feels there is no legal or factual basis to overturn the jury verdict," Eldridge said. "The jury heard the testimony in this case and found Mr. Alamo guilty.
"As we said all along, Mr. Alamo's conduct took a terrible tragic toll on the lives of his victims. At the end of the day he was certainly held accountable by the jury's verdict."
Eldridge said his office is also working to collect the money that Alamo was ordered to pay the victims and the fine.
Federal Liberals delay leadership vote up to two years
VANCOUVER – Shattered Liberals will wait up to two years to choose a new leader, hoping the delay will give them a fighting chance against rival parties bent on wiping them off Canada's federal political map.
Some 2,000 delegates to a special "virtual convention" voted Saturday to postpone a leadership vote until sometime between March 1 and June 30, 2013.
That's an even greater delay than proposed by party brass, who had wanted 18 to 22 months to rebuild before choosing a permanent replacement for Michael Ignatieff.
Ignatieff resigned after leading the self-styled "natural governing party" to its worst defeat in history in the May 2 election. The Liberals were reduced to a third party rump with only 34 MPs; Ignatieff lost his own seat.
Toronto MP Bob Rae was named interim leader last month and will continue to hold down the fort until a permanent successor is chosen.
In a speech at the start of the teleconference convention, which was streamed live on the Liberal party's website, Rae said both Stephen Harper's Conservatives and Jack Layton's NDP would like to "destroy the Liberal party" for good, leaving a polarized choice between parties of the right and left.
Liberals, he said, have to fight back by rebuilding the party, root and branch, and that will take time. While he did not express a preference for any precise date, Rae urged delegates to defer a leadership vote and give the party time pull itself up off the mat.
"We need to take the time to make the right choices and to make those important strides on fundraising, organization and policy."
Rae added that rebuilding "is not just a name for doing whatever we normally do between elections.
"Something different happened on May 2. This has put us in a different place, we need to do things differently this time."
Delegates were presented with a number of options, both longer and shorter than the 18-22 month delay proposed by party brass. In the end, they picked the option that provided for the longest delay.
They were persuaded in that choice by former leader Stephane Dion, who reminded delegates of the hatchet jobs done on him and Ignatieff by relentless Tory attack ads. Liberals, he argued, must not choose a new leader until they've amassed the money and organization needed to fight back against the inevitable Tory onslaught.
"The defeat has been very severe. The party has a monumental task to do. We should do it step by step," Dion said in a later interview, adding that "the only good news of this disastrous (election) result" is that Liberals have plenty of time to pull themselves back together.
If Liberals choose a leader before undertaking any rebuilding, Dion said, "The leader will be without any protection facing the Conservatives."
He predicted the Tories will try to do to the next leader what they did to him and Ignatieff, define the person "in a very negative way," as "an ugly, unsympathetic person, unable to be a leader, not a Canadian, willing to tax them like crazy."
And he said Canadians will believe it unless the Liberal party is ready to counter the attacks.
"And for that we need greater organization, good fundraising, good communications in the social media and the traditional media."
In particular, Dion said the party must be able to hit back in kind when the Tories spend millions on negative ads in prime time – something the Liberals could not afford when Dion and Ignatieff came under sustained fire.
"If they put (ads) in the Superbowl and we answer on Facebook … it's not enough. You can't compete and then, the election starts and people think they know you," he said, speaking from bitter experience.
Under the party's constitution, Liberals should choose a successor within five months of a leader's resignation – that is, by October of this year. Few, if any, Liberals had the stomach to plunge immediately into a leadership contest so soon after the May 2 bloodbath.
Hence, at Saturday's convention they amended the constitution to allow a delay for up to two years.
They also voted to delay the party's biennial policy convention, which was supposed to be held by the end of this year, until Jan. 13-15, 2012.
Some Liberals supported holding a leadership vote no later than the fall of 2012. Jeff Jedras, who moved that proposal, argued that rebuilding and new leadership go hand in hand and the party must "walk and chew gum at the same time."
One supporter of Jedras's proposal maintained that leadership contests are divisive and shouldn't be dragged out unnecessarily. Another said an earlier contest would give the new leader more time to become known by Canadians before the next election in four years.
But the overwhelming mood of the delegates was to put off the contest as long as possible. Fully 89 per cent ultimately supported the two-year delay.

TORONTO – Lots of rain in many parts of the country means that grass is growing like, well, a weed, and some Canadians may already be getting their fill of cutting it. But that doesn't mean lawn mower operators should be lax when it comes to safety, which is still essential to help prevent injury.
Lawn mower accidents can cause serious injuries to legs, arms, fingers, toes or other body parts. Between 1990 and 2006, a total of 1,161 patients visited Canadian hospitals for lawn mower-related injuries, according to Health & Safety Watch.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The resort season is not a time for fashion to take a vacation. Resort collections, which hit stores during the all-important Christmas holiday shopping season, are a growing part of designer businesses as consumers move toward styles they can wear year-round.
The idea that people fully switch their closets between seasons is outdated, agrees Ken Downing, senior vice-president and fashion director for retailer Neiman Marcus. Shoppers want clothes they can wear the day they buy them, he says, and resort wear typically meets that demand.

The report by the Canadian Stroke Network suggests neither victims nor hospital staffs treat strokes as serious medical emergencies.
TORONTO – Almost 40 per cent of teens who answered a questionnaire about their sexual knowledge said the Internet is more useful than parents in providing this kind of information.
And almost one-quarter of respondents rated the Internet higher than their high school sexual education classes.
The goal was a simple chicken casserole that had the rich, satisfying flavour of a lasagna.
Actually, that's a lie. The goal was a chicken roulade – a dish in which chicken breasts are pounded flat, then slathered or layered with some sort of filling, then rolled into a log and roasted or braised.
Couples hold 'Kiss and Tell' event in support of gay rights in U.S.
TORONTO – Canadians took part in a smooch-in Saturday in support of gay marriage rights in the United States.
More than 1,100 people across North America – dozens of them Canadians – kissed outside Lush Cosmetic stores, the company said.
The "Kiss and Tell" event was part of the company's two-week campaign to convince the U.S. government to change the marriage law.
Gay, straight, bisexual and transgendered people in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Edmonton, Montreal and Calgary kissed for the cause but turnout was small in Canadian cities.
Jesse Showers, 21, and Sean Rockwood, 24, were among 10 couples who locked lips outside the Lush Cosmetics store on Toronto's Queen Street West after a dish of breath mints was passed around.
"It's about time to kind of start sending a message to the U.S. government to really start doing marriage equality as a priority," said Rockwood, a store employee.
"Being gay, marriage equality is obviously a big concern for me and if I do get married some day, I want it to be recognized wherever I go," said Showers.
Couples kissed at 11:38 a.m. local time – chosen because 1,138 is the number of federal benefits and responsibilities afforded married Americans but denied to gay and lesbian couples living in the U.S., said store spokeswoman Maram Aoudi.
Those include spousal hospital visitation privileges, family health-care coverage, the ability to file joint tax returns and the right to sponsor partners in immigration, said the company's U.S. spokeswoman Brandi Halls.
Participants signed postcards that will be delivered to the U.S. Congress, urging it to overturn the 1996 Defence of Marriage Act. The law states a marriage is a union between a man and a woman.
Daphne McElroy, 18, kissed Sara Elizabeth Armstrong, 19. McElroy, who said she's bisexual, said she went to the event to support gay rights. "I don't think it's fair that people are treated differently because of their sexual orientation," she said.
At the Robson Street store in Vancouver, 23 couples kissed while eight couples puckered up in Victoria. There were smaller numbers in Montreal, Calgary and Edmonton, store officials said.
Ten couples kissed in Ottawa's Byward market, far fewer than the 40 who had RSVP'd on Facebook, said assistant manager Laura Johnston. But about 50 people who walked by the store stopped and signed the postcards, she said.
"But a surprising number ignored us and didn't take the time to sign them," said Johnston.

Tamil Nadu To Celebrate Periyar's Birthday As 'Social Justice Day', Says CM Stalin
The announcement was made by the Chief Minister M K Stalin inside the state's assembly.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin. (File photo)	-
Tamil Nadu government on Monday announced to celebrate the birthday of reformist leader E V Ramasamy Periyar as 'Social Justice Day' in the state.
The announcement was made by the Chief Minister M K Stalin inside the state's assembly, saying Periyar's birthday scheduled on September 17 will be celebrated as 'Social Justice Day' in the state.
Stalin said Periyar's ideology was all about social justice, self-respect, rationalism and equality, which laid the foundation stone for the Tamil society's growth during the last century and it would also pave the way for the future.
Hence, the government has decided to celebrate the leader's birth anniversary every year to serve as a symbolic reinforcement of his egalitarian principles, the Chief Minister said amid thumping of benches.
On that day every year, employees in all government offices including the State Secretariat would take pledges to follow values based on such lofty ideals which includes, brotherhood, equality, self-respect and rationalism, he said.
The Chief Minister recalled the services of Periyar (September 17, 1879--December 24, 1973) to the Tamil society and said he was instrumental in the enactment of the first Constitutional Amendment Act (that safeguarded reservation for backward classes). (With PTI inputs)

Diamondbacks News
Rockies @ Dbacks Recap: Snakes snap losing streak
By Charles Rahrig V
108. Final. 12. 8. 5
The bats for the Arizona Diamondbacks came alive on Tuesday and the team ended an offensive slump. They also finally ended their four game losing streak as they knocked off the Colorado Rockies.

The king of Chase Field should be signed by the Diamondbacks
The Goat has come to the Diamondbacks to save the day
The first three batters for the Diamondbacks singled and Mark Trumbo then subsequently hit a triple to knock them all in.
The Diamondbacks would never look back and cruised their way to ten runs. Archie Bradley had a fantastic first inning where he set down the order. However, his night came to an abrupt end as he was struck in the face by a line drive that traveled 115 mph.
The good news is that he was able to walk off on his own power.
Bradley was then immediately taken to the hospital for further testing. Bradley has been nothing short of spectacular to start his career and it was certainly a scary moment. Best wishes to a speedy recovery for the young pitcher.
It was also a rough night on the mound for Rockies pitcher Kyle Kendrick. He was roughed up for 10 hits and 8 runs. He came into the game with a 6.58 ERA and left with an 8.36 ERA.
Paul Goldschmidt had three hits on the night and drove in three runs. Trumbo however was the story of the night as he went 4-4 with 4 rbi's and fell just a double short of the cycle.
David Peralta also chipped in with a big home run of his own to extend the Diamondbacks lead when the Rockies were threatening to get closer.
The Good: Mark Trumbo and the offense came alive finally and delivered some much needed pop to the offense. Trumbo is now batting an impressive .324. Rookie Yasmany Tomás chipped in two hits of his own.
The Bad: Everything went fine for the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, but it was Archie Bradley's injury that was the real downside of the game. He has been a workhorse all year for the team and hopefully he has a speedy recovery. Head injuries can never be taken lightly, especially when getting hit by a ball at 115 mph.
Up Next: The Diamondbacks have a chance to win another series against a division opponent. Arizona has won series against Los Angeles and San Francisco thus far. Adding one against Colorado would go a long way.
Jordan Lyles (2-1 2.92 ERA) vs. Josh Collmenter (1-3 3.65 ERA) 6:40 P.M. MST
Hovering around .500 and heading into May with a chance at three series wins against division opponents would be a big step forward in the growth of the future for the Diamondbacks this season.
To have a chance, they'll need their ace to be dynamic.

Puerto Rico's southern region fights for cleaner…
Cyprus issues 2nd offshore drilling license to ExxonMobil
Latest Stories Middle East
By Special Correspondent December 12, 2021 December 11, 2021
ExxonMobil and partner Qatar Energy expanded their stake in potential oil and gas deposits off Cyprus by signing a deal with the east Mediterranean island nation Friday for a second exploration license in waters that Turkey partly claims.
Drilling off Cyprus has been a source of tension with neighboring Turkey since 2011, when Texas-based Noble Energy discovered the first natural gas off the ethnically divided island's southern coast.
Cyprus Energy Minister Natasa Pilides said with the new license, ExxonMobil is expected to start exploration in the first half of next year to get a better estimate of potential amounts of oil and gas.
She added there are "sufficiently hopeful indications" that the geological makeup of the underwater area mirrors that of a nearby spot where ExxonMobil discovered in 2019 a sizable deposit estimated to contain 5-8 trillion cubic feet of gas. The two energy companies are drilling an appraisal well at that deposit to confirm how much gas it holds.
Varnavas Theodossiou, ExxonMobil Cyprus managing director, said the new license "enables us to further expand our presence in Cyprus in what we believe to be a promising region for offshore exploration."
The development comes amid Turkey's warnings that it would "never allow" anyone to carry out an "unauthorized" gas search in waters it claims partly fall under its control.
Cyprus' ethnic split occurred in 1974 when Turkey invaded following a coup aimed at a union with Greece. Turkey doesn't recognize Cypriot statehood but instead recognizes a Turkish Cypriot declaration of independence in the island's northern third — the only country to do so.
Ankara insists Cyprus' internationally recognized government seated in the south is "acting unilaterally" in exploiting offshore gas reserves and ignores the rights of Turkey and the breakaway Turkish Cypriots to the region's hydrocarbon potential.
To drive the point home, Turkey has dispatched numerous warship-escorted drill and survey ships to carry out exploratory drilling inside Cyprus' exclusive economic zone. It also claims some 40% of that zone either lies inside its continental shelf or belongs to Turkish Cypriots.
The Cypriot government says Turkey's claims aren't recognized by international law.
Cyprus also has licensed seven of its 13 offshore drilling areas to a consortium made up of France's TotalEnergies and Italy's Eni, which is expected to resume its own drilling in the first half of next year after a nearly two-year delay brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
Pilides, Cyprus' energy minister, said ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleum aren't "troubled" by Turkey's threats and the deal is proof of that. She said the Cypriot government would carry on with its drilling program in line with international law.

Trump declares national emergency to unlock billions for wall
Posted: Feb 15, 2019 / 05:11 PM MST / Updated: Feb 15, 2019 / 05:11 PM MST
FILE – In this Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2019, file photo, President Donald Trump speaks during a cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington. The Senate resoundingly approved a border security compromise Thursday that ignores most of President Donald Trump's demands for building a wall with Mexico but would prevent a new government shutdown. (AP […]
President Donald Trump said Friday he will sign a national emergency declaration to address the situation on the southern border, while claiming that his actions are consistent with those of his predecessors.
"I'm going to be signing a national emergency, and it's been signed many times before. It's been signed by other presidents from 1977 or so. It gave the presidents the power," Trump said. "There's rarely been a problem. They sign it, nobody cares. I guess they weren't very exciting."
The President said that he is doing so to address "an invasion of our country with drugs, with human traffickers, with all types of criminals and gangs."
"We don't control our own border," Trump said. "We're going to confront the national security crisis on our southern border and we're going to do it — one way or the other we have to do it."
Trump went on to repeat his past talking points about "tremendous amounts of drugs" crossing into the US from the southern border — even though the majority of those drugs come through ports of entry — and addressed the issue of human trafficking.
He once again reiterated his claim that El Paso, Texas, is safer because of the border fencing, despite statistics showing violent crime rates did not go down as a result of the construction of fencing there.
Through a combination of executive authorities — some of which require he national emergency declaration — Trump is aiming to redirect more than $6 billion in federal funds toward the construction of a wall or barrier on the US-Mexico border on top of the $1.375 billion Congress authorized for fencing in the bill Trump will sign Friday morning. If successful, the actions could allow Trump to fund the construction of hundreds of miles of new border barriers.
Democrats will almost certainly challenge the declaration in court, as critics pre-emptively argued that Trump cannot use the national emergency authority to free up taxpayer funds and build the border wall he has long promised his political supporters.
"Declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of the power of the presidency and a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that President Trump broke his core promise to have Mexico pay for his wall," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said in a statement Thursday. "It is yet another demonstration of President Trump's naked contempt for the rule of law. This is not an emergency, and the President's fearmongering doesn't make it one."
Several Republican lawmakers also expressed serious concerns about Trump's move to declare a national emergency, concerned about the precedent Trump's move to bypass Congress might set. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who had previously opposed an emergency declaration, said Thursday he would support the move after Trump agreed to sign the compromise legislation to avert another government shutdown.
Trump's move to sign the bill and take executive action concludes three weeks of negotiations between lawmakers over a budget deal. Trump had privately expressed frustration about the negotiations, which amounted to less border-wall funding than he had requested. The agreement included $1.375 billion for about 55 miles of new physical barriers — based on pre-Trump era designs — in the Rio Grande Valley sector.
During that time, Trump repeatedly hinted that he was planning to use his contested executive powers to build hundreds of miles of new barriers on the southern border regardless of how the congressional negotiations fared. He repeatedly said he had "set the table" to take action.
For weeks, the President and his top officials had repeatedly argued that there is a "crisis" on the southern border. Democrats pushed against that argument, saying there's no security crisis but rather a humanitarian one.
According to federal data, Customs and Border Protection apprehended nearly 400,000 people along the Southwest border in fiscal year 2018, an increase from 2017 but a decrease from 2016. Many of those apprehended were claiming asylum.
The Trump administration had been actively examining using billions of dollars in unspent Pentagon funds for the construction of a border wall in the event the President declares a national emergency.
A draft proclamation reviewed by CNN last month cited Title 10 of the US Code, which paves the way for Trump to dip into a stash of Pentagon funds that are earmarked for other projects but don't have signed contracts for spending that money.
Congressional aides told CNN that the Defense Department will select which projects to draw from and Congress will not be involved.
"It will be a DoD action. We in Congress will not have a say," they said. "The law doesn't say he has to tell us which project, but you can be sure we will be asking that question."
A national emergency declaration has not gained widespread support among Republicans, who had previously expressed misgivings about using executive power to fund the wall.
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky called it a "bad idea."
"I generally don't think it's a good idea," added Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.
The national emergency declaration still doesn't guarantee Trump's wall. The administration is expected to face a slew of legal challenges, including from House Democrats and landowners whose property will likely have to be seized to mount barriers.
House Democrats could introduce a resolution to rescind the national emergency and eventually vote on it on the House floor. It would then go to the Senate, where they'd have to vote on it within a certain time frame. Even if it were to pass the Republican-controlled Senate, Trump could veto it.
President Donald Trump still owes City of El Paso money for MAGA campaign rally
by Aaron Bracamontes / Jul 16, 2019
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) - The President of the United States still owes the City of El Paso money for his February campaign rally, officials said.
President Donald Trump visited the Sun City on February 11 and racked up a $470,000 bill for the use of the police department, fire department and other city services for his "Make America Great Again" rally at the El Paso County Coliseum.
O'Rourke raises $3.6 million in second quarter
by Patrick Svitek; Texas Tribune / Jul 16, 2019
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke raised over $3.6 million during the last three months, a disappointing figure after he entered the race with high expectations in mid-March.
He quickly emerged as one of the field's top fundraisers, hauling in $6.1 million in the first 24 hours of his candidacy and $9.4 million in the first 18 days. Since then, though, the former El Paso congressman has slid to low single digits in most polls, and his fundraising appears to have followed suit.
Beto O'Rourke discloses that he's descended from slave owners
by Alex Samuels; Texas Tribune / Jul 15, 2019
AUSTIN -- Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke on Sunday disclosed that he and his wife are both descended from slave owners.
The former congressman from El Paso said the revelation "only increases the urgency I feel to help change this country so that it works for those who have been locked-out of — or locked-up in — this system."

Q: Displaying user's local time instead of server UTC time in Laravel 6 blade view I'm developing a Laravel 6 website with an international focus across various time zones. User comments are being stored in the MySQL database using the default created_at and updated_at UTC timestamps. I retrieve those timestamps in my blade view, e.g. {{ $comment->created_at }}. (On a side note, I use Datatables to display that information among others, so they get wrapped in td). I would like those timestamps to be displayed to the user in his local time.
Upon doing about two hours of research on ways to accomplish that, I did realize that some people suggest retrieving the IP address of the user upon logon and matching that to a geolocation and hence timezone. They would then save that information in the user table of the database and use some PHP function (or Carbon) to translate that into the user's local date/time. I find that solution a bit cumbersome and probably inaccurate.
Other people used some method where they end up with specific CSS DIV styles which will then display the user's local time. However, I'm not sure whether that would go well with my use of Datatables.
A third potential solution that I looked at was moment.js and it seems to be the cleanest but I'm not sure how this can get implemented, i.e. I was lacking a practical example (I saw somebody asking about the implementation in Vue, but I'm not that skilled yet).
I would therefore like to ask if somebody could please give me an example by showing some code as to how to implement what I would like to achieve in my Laravel project?
Many thanks in advance to everybody!

A: Thanks for the feedback to @Pavel Cechir and @andrewjames.
After some more digging, I solved it as follows.
Upon user login, I retrieve the local time in login.blade.php through:
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')

<form method="POST" action="{{ route('login') }}">
@csrf
<input type="hidden" name="timezone" id="timezone">

...
@endsection

@push('app.js')
<script>
    $(function () {
        // get user timezone
        $('#timezone').val(Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone)
    })
</script>
@endpush

In LoginController.php, I save the user's timezone into the database:
protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
    {
      if ($timezone = $request->get('timezone')) {
        $user->timezone = $request->get('timezone');
        $user->save();
      }
    }

I use the following trait (obtained from https://www.qcode.in/managing-users-timezone-in-laravel-app/):
<?php

namespace App\Traits;

use Carbon\Carbon;

trait HasLocalDates

{

  /**
     * Localize a date to users timezone
     *
     * @param null $dateField
     * @return Carbon
     */
    public function localize($dateField = null)
    {
        $dateValue = is_null($this->{$dateField}) ? Carbon::now() : $this->{$dateField};
        return $this->inUsersTimezone($dateValue);
    }

    /**
     * Change timezone of a carbon date
     *
     * @param $dateValue
     * @return Carbon
     */
    private function inUsersTimezone($dateValue): Carbon
    {
        $timezone = optional(auth()->user())->timezone ?? config('app.timezone');
        return $this->asDateTime($dateValue)->timezone($timezone);
    }

}

And use the trait in the models, e.g. User.php:
use App\Traits\HasLocalDates;

class User extends Authenticatable implements MustVerifyEmail

{
    use Notifiable, HasLocalDates;
...

That way, {{ $comment->created_at }}, {{ $project->updated_at}} etc. will automatically show the user's local date and time.

Home Breaking News Face-to-face school session to start on March 1
Face-to-face school session to start on March 1
Keith Li
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 — The face-to-face school session which was postponed earlier following the spread of COVID-19, will be commencing on March 1.
Senior Education Minister Senator Datuk Dr Radzi Jidin said it involved pre-school, Year 1 and 2 classes while Year 3 to Year 6 sessions would start on March 8.
"Secondary school students in Group A states will start school on April 4 while secondary school students in Group B states will attend school on April 5 which is after the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2020 examination," he told a media conference here today.
He said the decision to allow primary school pupils to start school session earlier was to allow pupils and teachers adapt to the new normal as well as the COVID-19 standard operating procedures.
Group A involves schools in Kedah, Johor, Kelantan and Terengganu while Group B involves schools in Perlis, Penang, Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Pahang, Sabah, Sarawak, Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya.
He said the school calendar would remain as issued earlier.
"The opening dates are adopted by all government schools, government aided schools, private schools and institutes registered with the Education Ministry (MOE).
"Schools not registered with MOE are urged to follow the school opening dates and comply with all stipulated SOPs," he said.
He said vocational colleges would open on March 1 while international schools and private educational institutions, including tuition centres, would open on March 8.
Radzi meanwhile said that MOE had planned carefully and the approach was taken based on input and feedback from all parties.
Meanwhile, when asked on streamlining DidikTV when school session begins, Radzi said the content of programmes for school students would be expanded considering primary school pupils would be starting school earlier.
On Wednesday, (Feb 17) , Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin launched DidikTV via channel 107 on MYTV, channel 147 on ASTRO and on ntv7 channel on UNIFI TV starting from 7 am to 12 midnight nationwide.
For parents who are worried about the COVID-19 numbers, he said it was the responsibility of MOE to provide access to education safely and at the same time did not want students to be left far behind in learning.
"If there is a problem of health, parents can inform the school. I am also seeking the cooperation of parents waiting for their children after school to comply with SOP outside the school compound such as physical distancing and so on," Radzi said.
Commenting on the SPM 2020 examination which will start this Monday, he said the method of SPM implementation this year is very detailed so that students are safe with strict SOP when sitting for the examination.
"Usually, there is only one examination hall but this time we are providing alternative rooms if it is required by candidates.
"Apart from that, we also provide special rooms if students show symptoms of COVID-19 while isolation room and transit room are for the use of students," he said.
SPM 2020 is scheduled to start on Monday and will end on March 25.

Love Transcends All ☀.
By a body of water
A stretch of land
Lies, mistakes and recrimination
Joy, triumphs and rejuvenation
Through heartache, repression and debt ponds
Love, serenity and quixotic bonds
Suffering beats many a thing large and small
However, love is resilient and transcends all.

I am The Dragon
And I have come!
We all have tough years. Those years full of deaths, heartbreaks, lies, betrayal, despair, denial, anger and conspiracies.
Then we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and smile, laugh, dance, enjoy good music and company, love, live life, do right and witness births.
A Wealth Of Memory is a 102 page homage to the unbreakable human spirit, which withstands society's barrage and constantly seeks a true oneness with the Universe.
It is dedicated to this planet and its inhabitants and is ultimately a hopeful tome concerned with finding that balance between peace and harmony.

Klosophy free ebook global day, January 1st. Share, enjoy, comment, discuss, take action. Peace & regards.
Klosophy has been described as a philosophy book. However, the author calls it a life book that is not necessary for everyone but is for everyone. The author revealed that he fully expects many to cease communicating with him after the publication of the work but that as long as he has provoked thought, debate and action, he can be happier in life.
Indeed Klosophy is a work that will make you smile, laugh, cringe, cry and by the end of it feel peace and enlivened. It is a lifetime's worth of teachings, comments and observations which all people can recognise and relate to. It asks questions about whether humans can peacefully come together via natural instincts that are largely suppressed, find inner and outer peace or become one with nature as they used to be?
Love, friendship, the monetary system and more are also succinctly explored. A blunt assessment of society or uplifting piece about the power of real peace. Either way, the author says he is loudly optimistic about the prospects for this planet and its people.
After all, perception is reality, the world is craving for serenity and we are the key.

Best Shows to Binge on Netflix Right Now
March 30, 2020 August 29, 2020 by kikacarvalho
It can sometimes be quite overwhelming to do a Netflix browse due to the number of movies and TV shows that are available. I compiled a list of captivating shows that range from comedies to dramas to documentaries that I believe you will enjoy. Happy watching!
Elite is a show about the clash between wealthy students and working-class teenagers who start attending the same private school. Viewers can expect plot twists at every turn, murders, love stories and high levels of deception. The third season of Elite came out in March and everyone is already anxiously waiting for the next season. The show is originally from Spain but Netflix offers a voiceover option in English.
2. Schitt's Creek
Schitt's Creek is a comedy about a wealthy couple (played by the iconic Eugene Levy from American Pie and Catherine O'Hara from Home Alone) with two spoiled children who suddenly lose everything and become broke. A few years before everything happens, the family bought a town called Schitt's Creek as a joke and it is now the only place that they can afford to live. The show is about the family coming together to survive their new reality. It is currently in its sixth and final season. Fun fact: there are three cast members that are related in real life.
3. Don't F**k with Cats
Don't F**k with Cats is a three-episode limited Netflix series about the evolution of an internet killer (Luka Magnotta) who starts off by making videos of killing cats and then progresses to killing a person. The story follows a group of people who watch the cat videos and try to find out the identity of the killer before he commits any more crimes. Warning: This show is extremely twisted and dark but you are instantly hooked.
4. Tiger King
Tiger King has taken the world by storm since it premiered in March. It's a true crime documentary about the wild life of Joe Exotic, who owns a zoo known for its big cats, and his fight against another cat sanctuary. It gives viewers a complete look into their lives and what they go through. The show is a train wreck that you simply can't stop watching. What will be your favorite shocking moment?
5. Ozark
Ozark is a drama series with Jason Bateman and Laura Linney about a man who finds himself owing a large amount of money to a Mexican drug lord after a money-laundering scheme goes south. He moves with his family to a community in the Ozarks to find any way that he can to pay off his debts before it is too late. Ozark season 3 came out in March.

About Mississippi Office of Homeland Security
PageContent
What is Homeland Security? Homeland Security is a concerted State and National effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the State, reduce our vulnerability to terrorism and or any disaster that may occur, minimize the damage, and recover from events that do occur.
Mississippi has a multi-hazard approach to emergency planning, including terrorism. This means that the state has plans in place to cover all types of disasters. In fact, the State published an Annex to the Comprehensive Plan addressing terrorism preparedness and response in 1999. Since September 11, 2001, the focus has been updating the state's emergency response plan in areas specifically relating to terrorism. The Mississippi Office of Homeland Security was created through Executive Order 872 and repositioned under the authority of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety through Executive Order 916.
Mississippi Office of Homeland Security Mission Statement
The mission of the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security (MOHS) is to partner with federal, state, and local emergency response personnel during both man-made and natural disasters, as well as working to prevent, protect, and respond to threats and/or acts of terrorism within our state. This office will act as the nexus for information sharing through its direction of the Mississippi Analysis and Information Center (MSAIC) and will lead efforts in "All Hazard" prevention, preparedness, and response by continuing to foster strong partnerships across professional response disciplines. MOHS will further the education of the Mississippi citizenry through awareness and outreach efforts. These efforts are accomplished through training, equipping, and informing the populace about the steps necessary to keep themselves and their communities vigilant and prepared.
Mississippi's Emergency Response Plan
The Mississippi Office of Homeland Security (MOHS) is leading a multi-agency task force charged with preparing state government to deal with terrorism. Immediately following the September 11 terrorist attacks, the Governor asked state agencies to re-energize their domestic preparedness efforts. As a result, the office enhanced the current capabilities and assets of state government and used this information to refine the Homeland Security components of the state's emergency response plan. To accomplish this, the Homeland Security office identified areas in need of upgrading consistent with the national response plan and began the revitalization process. Other agencies are assisting in the process as well, law enforcement responder agencies and Citizen Corps teams are currently engaged in the effort to promote and maintain a safe environment. Additionally, MOHS is working with local agencies to establish, equip, and train Regional Response Teams capable of responding to any type of Terrorist incident. This revised plan will be supportive of both the State and National strategies.
Critical Assets Identification
Governors Barbour and Musgrove made identification and protection of Mississippi's critical assets a top priority of the state's Homeland Security Initiative against terrorism. This critical asset plan ensures that the state government is better prepared to protect those critical assets and services that are important to the welfare of Mississippians.
The Mississippi Office of Homeland Security has been working with government and private sector partners to compile an inventory of the state's critical assets. These critical assets include infrastructure (Dams, power plants, etc..), locations, or events where large groups of people gather, and symbols of power, such as the State Capitol Building.
State Emergency Operations Center
This facility activated for several days immediately following the September 11 terrorist attacks. The Emergency Operations Center is in "warm" status, meaning it can be activated and operational at a moment's notice. The State Emergency Operations Center is the managing arm over Mississippi's deployment of regional emergency first response teams, and would activate the responders if a terrorist event were to occur.
Standardized Incident Response
Mississippi is prepared to respond to any incident, including terrorism, using the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Initially, training was provided to emergency responders in all eighty-two counties in Mississippi to standardize the system, manage incidents and will enable all Emergency First Responders to function in a multi-discipline and multi-jurisdictional response and better coordinate their efforts through a seamless integration of resources.
Executive Order # 932 signed by Governor Haley Barbour on May 5, 2005 implemented NIMS as the State standard for all responses.
Working with Local Government Partners
The backbone of Mississippi's Homeland Security lies in the Office of Homeland Security, which seeks to provide leadership in the deterrence, prevention, mitigation, and recovery of any and all terrorist activities and actions. In this vein, Homeland Security could not exist without the assistance of local and state law enforcement responders and the participation of the local populace. It is through the cooperation and dedication of all Mississippians and Americans alike that Homeland Security is able to effectively complete its mission.

Home Joint Diplomacy & Peace Italian foreign minister meets new leaders in Libya
Italian foreign minister meets new leaders in Libya
Written by Reuters -
Italy's foreign minister flew into Tripoli on Tuesday for talks with the head of the unity government Fayez Seraj – the first senior Western official to meet the new Libyan administration since it moved to the capital.
The mission by Italy, Libya's former colonial ruler, will be seen as a vote of confidence in Seraj, who arrived in the city last month at the head of a U.N.-backed Presidential Council to try and end years of political deadlock and conflict.
Seraj was due to meet Italy's Paolo Gentiloni at a heavily secured naval base.
Italy, France and other Western powers have offered to support Seraj and train security forces facing a growing threat from Islamist militants.
The reopening of diplomatic missions could eventually pave the way for the return of international oil industry staff, though some of Libya's major oil facilities have recently come under attack from Islamic State militants.
Western diplomatic staff were evacuated from Tripoli in 2014 amid heavy fighting between rival factions.
The unity government is meant to replace two rival sets of governments and parliaments in Tripoli and the east. Both were backed by loose alliances of the armed factions that established themselves after the uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.

Why do hit and run drivers flee the scene after causing a wreck?
Although it is illegal to do so under South Dakota law, some drivers cause accidents and flee the scene without stopping to call the police or to help obtain medical care for the victims. This can make obtaining the compensation that is deserved challenging for the victims since they must have the contact information for the negligent driver to file a claim. Why do drivers engage in this irresponsible and criminal behavior?
Why Do Negligent Drivers Flee the Scene of the Accident?
The driver is intoxicated either due to alcohol or drug use.
The driver has no minimum automobile liability insurance as required under South Dakota law.
The driver is driving a vehicle without permission or stole it.
The driver does not have a valid driver's license, or it has been suspended.
The driver is driving an employer-owned vehicle and does not want his employer to know that he got into a crash.
The driver has an outstanding warrant for his arrest for unpaid tickets or crimes.
The driver is in this country illegally.
The driver is transporting some type of illegal goods or drugs.
While some of the reasons that drivers flee the scene suggest that they would not have the means to pay the compensation you may be owed, you should not assume that you cannot locate the driver or that you will not receive any compensation. A concerned witness may remember enough identifying information-such as a partial or complete license plate number-that the police or an experienced attorney can use to help locate the driver and hold him accountable for his actions.
If you were injured in a hit and run or other accident, the experienced auto accident attorneys at Zimmer Duncan & Cole are here to help you obtain the compensation you deserve. Start an online chat to schedule your free consultation to get your questions answered and learn about your legal options.


No dessert sounds as mundane as bread pudding, yet no other dessert can deliver such variables of taste and texture. Chef Tom Patterson at Fabian's Italian Bistro makes an unusual version, on the menu through December and perhaps beyond. The base for his chocolate bread pudding is soft challah bread, with the additions of chocolate mousse, ganache, cream, egg, cinnamon and sugar, topped with vanilla gelato and brittle orange "clear" caramel.

Always be mindful of local conditions, and check with your local municipality about possible fire restrictions.
> Access a map of current Ontario forest fire information. This "Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System" is a national system for rating the risk of forest fires, based on a variety of factors, such as ease of ignition and difficulty of control.
What will you do if a fire is approaching your or a neighbour's residence?
Who will you call, and how do you sound an alarm to notify the community?
Does your community have fire equipment in strategic locations on the lake?
Who is in charge of maintaining this equipment, and who has access to it?
Are there emergency exits clearly marked in community buildings?
Have you located fire safe areas in the community such as lakes or other wet areas, rock outcrops, and roads?
rural and often remote residents, they need to be independent when it comes not only to day to day living, but also to be prepared and able to respond in times of crisis and emergency.
Forest fires are a fact of life in Ontario, and our members are among those who are potentially at risk from the threat of fire. It is important for rural and woodland residents to learn about and understand their risks, and to take proactive steps to make their families and their property safer.
Every homeowner can do something, and at different times of the year they have different opportunities to make a difference. FOCA encourages landowners to plan ahead to protect their homes from the risk of forest fires and follow safe burning guidelines for brush and campfires.

Chargers have had conversation with Urban Meyer about head coach job
Urban Meyer's last job was head football coach at Ohio State, where he won a national championship. (AJ Mast / Associated Press)
Two years ago, Urban Meyer said he thought he'd never coach again.
Yet today, he is the most prominent name known to be in contact with the Chargers about their head coaching vacancy.
Meyer, 56, stepped away from Ohio State after the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 2019, as one the most successful coaches in college football history. He cited health concerns as one of the main reasons.
After sitting out the last two seasons, Meyer has interviewed in person with the Jacksonville Jaguars and talked with the Chargers, who fired Anthony Lynn last week.
In 17 collegiate seasons, Meyer went 187-32 and won three national titles, one at Ohio State and two at Florida. His teams never had a losing record, Meyer's worst record (8-5) coming with the Gators in 2010.
When he announced his retirement in December 2018, Meyer said, "I believe I will not coach again."
That marked the third time he had left football because of issues with his health. Meyer revealed two years ago that he had surgery in 2014 on a cyst in his brain that caused stress-related headaches.
During his final season at Ohio State, he was frequently seen on the sidelines in visible pain and even collapsed during a game after colliding with a member of his staff.
The university also put Meyer on leave to start that season while investigating reports that he mishandled allegations of domestic violence and other inappropriate behavior made against one of his former assistant coaches, Zach Smith. The suspension lasted three games.
The other candidates known to be on the Chargers' list are all current NFL assistants: Brandon Staley (Rams), Eric Bieniemy (Kansas City), Joe Brady (Carolina), Brian Daboll (Buffalo), Matt Eberflus (Indianapolis), Jason Garrett (New York Giants), Robert Saleh (San Francisco) and Arthur Smith (Tennessee).
General manager Tom Telesco has given no timetable to make a hire. The Chargers are one of seven teams looking for a head coach.

Material stolen by intruders from the North Korean Embassy in Madrid in February has been returned by Spanish authorities to Pyongyang's mission without a review of the contents, a Spanish judicial source said on Tuesday.
Investigators said the intruders, self-professed members of a group seeking the overthrow of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, removed computers and hard drives from the embassy before fleeing to the United States, where they handed the material to the FBI.
The Spanish judicial source said the FBI returned the material two weeks ago to the Spanish court investigating the raid. The court did not review the material before turning it over to the North Korean Embassy, in keeping with standard practice to protect diplomatic information, the source said.
Another source, familiar with the U.S. government involvement in the case, confirmed the FBI had returned the material to Spanish authorities. It was not known how the material was handled while in the United States.
A group of at least 10 people stormed into the embassy in February, restrained and physically beat some personnel and held them hostage for hours before fleeing, the Spanish court said earlier. The anti-Kim group, which calls itself Cheolima Civil Defense, said the raid was not an attack and that it had been invited into the embassy.
Three of the intruders took an embassy official into the basement during the raid and encouraged him to defect from North Korea, according to a detailed document made public on March 26 by the Spanish court.
The document included the names of the leaders of the group, some of whom are believed to be in the United States, while others could have left for other countries. The court is seeking their extradition. The judicial source said the investigation into the incident was almost complete, including interviews with all witnesses.
North Korea's foreign ministry denounced the incident a "grave terrorist attack" and cited rumors that the FBI was partially behind the raid. The U.S. State Department said Washington had nothing to do with it.

We present a second-order accurate method for computing the coupled motion of a viscous fluid and an elastic material interface with zero thickness. The fluid flow is described by the Navier-Stokes equations, with a singular force due to the stretching of the moving interface. We decompose the velocity into a "Stokes" part and a "regular" part. The first part is determined by the Stokes equations and the singular interfacial force. The Stokes solution is obtained using the immersed interface method, which gives second-order accurate values by incorporating known jumps for the solution and its derivatives into a finite difference method. The regular part of the velocity is given by the Navier-Stokes equations with a body force resulting from the Stokes part. The regular velocity is obtained using a time-stepping method that combines the semi-Lagrangian method with the backward difference formula. Because the body force is continuous, jump conditions are not necessary. For problems with stiff boundary forces, the decomposition approach can be combined with fractional time-stepping, using a smaller time step to advance the interface quickly by Stokes flow, with the velocity computed using boundary integrals. The small time steps maintain numerical stability, while the overall solution is updated on a larger time step to reduce computational cost. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
