The story belonged to his father, but Schaumburg resident Ron Coppel recites the tale like it's his own.
It was February 1938, and the place was Moers, Germany. Thirteen-year-old Werner Coppel -- that's Ron's dad -- was celebrating his bar mitzvah in the local synagogue, reading from the Torah for the first time before his family and community.
But the Nazis were in power, and outside they were marching and singing loudly.
Inside the temple, young Werner couldn't shut out the angry voices. Years later, he told his son what he heard.
"Translated, it was: 'When Jew blood splashes from our knives, life will be twice as good,'" Ron Coppel said.

Nine months later, on Nov. 9 and 10, 1938, Nazis burned the Moers' synagogue as part of a violent pogrom against Jews across Germany, Austria and occupied Czechoslovakia.
The attacks came to be known as Kristallnacht -- the Night of Broken Glass. In addition to synagogues, hate-fueled mobs ransacked, vandalized and torched Jewish-owned homes and businesses. Nearly 100 Jews were killed and thousands were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
It was the start of the Holocaust and the systematic extermination of some 6 million Jews and millions of non-Jewish Soviets and Poles, Roma and others by the Nazis during World War II.
Werner Coppel was imprisoned in a concentration camp during the Holocaust but survived. His parents and younger brother weren't as fortunate. Many Chicago-area Jews have similarly tragic stories of relatives taken from their homes, never to return.
On this 80th anniversary of the Night of Broken Glass, we remember.
A family obligation

A retired sales executive, Ron Coppel volunteers as a docent at the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Skokie. He talks with visitors about the Holocaust and his father's experiences.
It's a family tradition. Before his death in 2016, Werner Coppel often spoke to students and civic organizations about the Nazis' atrocities -- and Coppel felt driven to keep the mission alive.
"I promised I would continue to tell his story," the 70-year-old Coppel said.
Werner Coppel was arrested by the Gestapo in April 1943 and sent to the Auschwitz III-Monowitz labor camp.
Werner's father was killed in a Latvian ghetto and his mother was killed at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Werner's younger brother, Guenther, likely died with their mother.
In January 1945, the Nazis evacuated the Auschwitz complex as the Soviet Army approached, marching nearly 60,000 prisoners -- including Werner -- away from the camps. After learning prisoners were being shot, Werner and two other men ran into the woods and escaped.
"He could hear the bullets whiz by as he ran," Coppel said.
Werner returned to Germany after the war and in 1946 married a half-Jewish woman named Trudy. Her father had been killed in the 1930s for being Jewish, but she and her mother were spared.
Ron was born in 1948, and the following year the family immigrated to the U.S.
Coppel and his younger brother, Steve, learned about their father's ordeal in bits and pieces as children, sometimes overhearing conversations with other survivors.
Coppel learned more when his father began speaking publicly. Because of his father's words, Coppel began protesting any prejudice he witnessed.
That philosophy remains strong.
"You have an obligation to speak up," Coppel said. "You have to put your foot down and say, 'Not in front of me.'"
A concrete reminder

Fred Bernheim was a 9-year-old boy living in Laupheim, Germany, when Nazis marched his father and other Jews to the local synagogue on Kristallnacht and forced them to watch the building burn to the ground.
"He followed (his father) on his bicycle and hid in the bushes and watched while the Jewish men were made to kneel while they burned down the synagogue," said Bernheim's daughter, 55-year-old Lisa Lavin of Bannockburn.
Bernheim, his younger sister and his parents immigrated to the U.S. in 1939 and settled in Chicago. Decades later, after establishing a career as an architect, Bernheim designed a new synagogue in Northbrook for Temple Beth-El, one of the region's oldest Jewish congregations.
His inspiration was the Laupheim temple. In particular, two pillars outside the synagogue's sanctuary represent the towers of the former German temple.
Bernheim died in 2013. Two years later, one of the Beth-El pillars was dedicated in his honor.

Bernheim's daughter and her family remain members of the congregation, which includes hundreds of Jews from across Chicago and the North and Northwest suburbs.
"I am blessed to belong to this synagogue," said Lavin, who lost maternal relatives from Poland in the Holocaust. "I can simply sit in the sanctuary and know that my dad designed the space and was inspired by his own sanctuary."
The Laupheim temple never was rebuilt. However, a museum in Laupheim documents the town's former Jewish community. Among the items on display are side-by-side photographs of the old Laupheim synagogue and Temple Beth-El.
That association adds to the holiness of the Northbrook building, Temple Beth-El Rabbi Sid Helbraun said.
"Every time I give a tour of our building, I tell Fred's story," he said. "When I share the story with visitors, they are always touched by a spark of that holiness."
'A useful skill'

Long Grove resident Toby Kriss' parents survived the Holocaust, as did her maternal grandparents. But her paternal grandparents and other relatives were murdered by the Nazis.
The Holocaust, Kriss said, "informs everything about who I am."
A retired marketing researcher, Kriss had what she described as a "rudimentary understanding" of her family's role in the Holocaust by the time she was in grade school.
"My dad had nightmares and would scream out in the night," Kriss, 64, recalled. "I didn't have grandparents. I didn't have aunts and uncles."
Kriss' mother, Florence, was Lithuanian. In 1941 when she was about 13, Florence and her parents were forced into the Vilna Ghetto in Lithuania and then the Theresienstadt concentration camp in what is now the Czech Republic. All survived.
Florence's brother, however, was killed in the ghetto.
Kriss' father, Marvin Ridzinski, was Polish. He, five siblings and his parents were sent to ghettos and concentration camps when he was about 22. Marvin Ridzinski was the only one who survived, thanks in part to being a talented tailor.
"He had a useful skill for the Germans," Kriss said. "He would sew uniforms."
Every time Ridzinski was transferred to a different camp, his sewing machine went with him.
At one camp, a German soldier asked Ridzinski to make a pair of pants for his girlfriend. The soldier was so pleased with the job that he sneaked Ridzinski food as a reward.
"(The soldier) told him to tie his pants closed at the ankles and gave him extra rations to drop down his pants legs," Kriss said.

Kriss' mother didn't talk much about the horrors she experienced. Her father, who ultimately was liberated from the Buchenwald concentration camp by the U.S. Army in April 1945, was more open and stressed the importance of remembering.
They died in the 1980s.
Through the generations, Jews have assimilated in the U.S. and anti-Semitism has become less of a concern -- until the recent rise of white nationalism.
A founding member of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and a member of other Jewish groups, Kriss worries the current overt bigotry could turn into a movement like the one that swept through Europe in the 1930s.
She was particularly shaken by the Oct. 27 massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue that left 11 Jews dead.
"Now we all need to be more vigilant," Kriss said.

Correcting the record – litigation funding and returns to group members in Australian funded class actions
The Australian Parliamentary inquiry into litigation funding and class actions announced earlier this year seeks to ensure fair and equitable outcomes for claimants and group members. As a pioneer of the industry and largest funder in Australia, Omni Bridgeway fully supports these aims. Part of our business is to provide finance and access to justice to claimants and group members in class actions who lack the resources to pursue complex and costly disputes.
We have welcomed the inquiry and look forward to a balanced debate. It also gives us the opportunity to address some of the criticism of the industry being played out in the media recently. Much of this criticism is based on misinformation.
Funded vs unfunded class action returns
One example relates to the returns received by group members in funded class actions compared with returns in cases that were not backed by a litigation funder. The figures often quoted by the media – and used to suggest litigants would be far better off eschewing the support of a litigation funder – show median returns of 51 per cent to group members in cases when funders were involved, compared with 85 per cent when the actions were unfunded.
There are two substantial problems with these figures:
They are an attempt to compare apples and zebras; and
They are based on flawed conclusions reached by the Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC).
Apples and Zebras
Stating that returns to group members are higher in unfunded cases is a statement of the obvious. Funders recover their costs and fees from any recoveries, reducing overall returns for claimants.
Like any asset, the return on disposal will be less if a financier is required to be paid, than if there is no finance to be paid. For example, take a house bought for cash compared with one that is purchased with a mortgage from a bank. On disposal of the house, the return to the homeowner will be less in circumstances where the bank needs to be repaid.
The question is: can the would-be homeowner buy a house for cash, or does the homeowner need a mortgage to finance it?
This is the same consideration a potential claimant in a class action must consider. Can they fund the action – and take on the associated risks and potential adverse costs – themselves, ensuring a bigger share of any recoveries? Or do they require the support of a litigation funder to ameliorate those risks and potentially lessen their overall recovery. In an environment of increasingly expensive litigation, and even more so in the context of class actions, we are finding that claimants will often need finance to have access to justice and pursue their rights. Otherwise, there is no class action and, as a result, zero recoveries.
In one recent case – the Omni Bridgeway-funded class action over the use of toxic firefighting chemicals on Defence facilities in Williamtown in NSW, Oakey in Queensland and Katherine in the Northern Territory – the Federal Court said the matter would have been "impossible to bring without a funder".
"A case that has real complexity, and a case where there was real risk and it could – I think it's fair to say, it could not be brought without a funder." 1
In an observation about the current debate over the role of litigation funders, Justice Lee said:
"The reality of these cases … is that without funding, the claims of group members would not have been litigated in an adversarial way, but rather the group members would likely have been placed in a situation of being supplicants requesting compensation in circumstances where they would have been the subject of a significant inequality of arms…
It seems to be a testament to the practical benefits of litigation funding that these claims have been able to be litigated in an efficient and effective way, and have produced a settlement."
The Australian Law Reform Commission's flawed figures
The median return figures often cited by the media were contained in the ARLC's report on class actions and litigation funders, handed to the Attorney General in 2019. Unfortunately, the figures were based on a small sample size and flawed analysis.
The overall conclusions reached by the ALRC were drawn from a small sample size of only 30 cases that had finalised in the Federal Court (in the period between 2013 and October 2018). They comprised 19 funded and 11 unfunded class actions. Due to confidentiality orders and incomplete data, these were the only cases on which the ALRC held enough information about legal and funding fees to calculate the returns to group members in that period. The ALRC's report acknowledged it was aware of the limitations of small sample sizes.
We know that in one case, the ALRC misinterpreted the data – a class action funded by Omni Bridgeway (then known as IMF Bentham), Farey v National Australia Bank Limited [2016] FCA 340. This case resolved successfully for $6.6 million but was part of a wider set of actions brought on behalf of approximately 130,000 customers over bank fees. The actions included a test case, which was unsuccessful on appeal and resulted in Omni Bridgeway paying approximately $30 million in costs and adverse costs. Omni Bridgeway had been entitled to all of the proceeds of the NAB settlement to defray some of our costs on the other bank fees cases, including the test case. However, we waived that right and returned approximately 25 per cent of the settlement proceeds to the NAB group members. Contrary to the ALRC's conclusions, Omni Bridgeway did not receive a funding commission of 62 per cent of the settlement proceeds and in fact received no funding commission at all for that case.
Further, while we do not have complete information about the 11 unfunded class actions included in the ALRC's calculation of median returns, it is apparent from court and other documents that some of these cases were conducted on a no win/no fee basis with a so-called 'person of straw' as the representative plaintiff, that is, someone who has no assets. For example, the representative plaintiff in two class actions against Cash Converters was described as "a pensioner and grandmother from western Sydney". This means, in effect, that there is no way that a defendant who is successful in an action could recover their costs unless the representative plaintiff has taken out sufficient "after the event" insurance cover.
This is relevant because in no win/no fee cases, there are often significant risks for both the representative plaintiff and the defendant if the case is lost and adverse costs are ordered. In the settlement approval decision in the unfunded DePuy hip implants class action (one of the 11 unfunded class actions included in the ALRC's calculation), the judge said:
"To put it bluntly, the risk of the applicants failing completely could not be excluded. That would have meant no recovery by the applicants and group members at all, and the likelihood of an adverse costs order against the applicants for potentially many millions of dollars." 2
In a class action against the Royal Bank of Scotland in relation to financial products sold to a group of investors (another of the 11 unfunded class actions), the judge in the settlement approval decision said:
"The reason why his Honour makes reference to an external litigation funder is that it is invariably the case that when a funder is involved, an indemnity is given by that funder to an applicant against adverse costs. Here there was no litigation funder, and the applicants were exposed, in a difficult and highly expensive proceeding, to the prospect of financial damnation in the event that the proceeding failed." 3
These situations are very different to the majority of cases in which a funder is involved and, as explained in the above quote, indemnifies the claimant for any adverse costs on an uncapped basis. Funded cases provide not only the representative plaintiff, but also the respondent and the court, with comfort that, if the claim is lost, adverse costs will be paid.
Finally, some of the unfunded class actions included by the ALRC were self-funded by a subset of group members in those cases. However, the judgments approving the settlement in some of those actions indicated that the court considered that the group members may not be able to continue to fund the litigation as a factor in approving a settlement in those cases.4 Commercial funding also provides group members with comfort that the case will be pursued to its maximum possible return, and not settled early because of financial constraints.
Omni Bridgeway's returns to group members
The true level of returns to group members from all of Omni Bridgeway's funded class actions that have resolved since we listed on the ASX in 2001 is on average 62.1 per cent of settlements or court-ordered recoveries.5 We have recovered more than $1.6 billion, from which we have returned approximately $1 billion to group members. The balance of the proceeds covered the legal fees and other costs to run the cases and approximately 24.5 per cent6 was paid to Omni Bridgeway as its funding commission.
Omni Bridgeway is proud of this record. Many of these group members would not have been able to access the legal system and secure any compensation at all without the support of litigation funding.
Critics of funding say that the returns that funders can earn in successful cases are too large. However, these returns must be balanced against the significant risks taken in funding lengthy litigation with uncertain outcomes against powerful, well-financed defendants.
Litigation funding is usually provided on a limited-recourse basis – meaning if the case is lost, the funder loses the capital invested in the case on legal fees and other costs – frequently tens of millions of dollars – and faces potential adverse costs representing up to 70 per cent of total costs.
Of course, these real risks must be assessed when they are assumed – before the matter has commenced and the costs, duration and outcome are unknown – and not with the comfortable benefit of hindsight too often practised by critics of litigation funding.
In the Murray Goulburn class action, Justice Murphy discussed the considerations for assessing the "reasonableness of a funding commission":
"The litigation risks of providing funding in the proceeding … is a critical factor and the assessment must avoid the risk of hindsight bias and recognise that the funder took on those risks at the commencement of the proceeding." 7
Funders must also price their fees so that they can earn enough returns on successful cases to offset the losses on unsuccessful cases. The Federal Court has recognised this portfolio approach to managing risk.
All settlements of class actions must be approved by the court and the court will only approve a settlement if it considers it to be fair and reasonable and in the interests of group members. This includes an examination of what the group members will receive after costs and the funder's commission. This is one of the many checks and balances in the system that protect plaintiffs from unreasonable fees.
Fair and equitable outcomes
Omni Bridgeway agrees with the views expressed by both the Australian Government and the Opposition that the class action system must deliver fair and equitable outcomes for all participants, particularly claimants. We have advocated for a number of measures that we believe would enhance the integrity of, and improve confidence in, the class action system. These measures include increased regulation of funders in Australia and the introduction of legislation to guarantee a minimum return to group members of no less than 50 per cent of the proceeds of funded Australian class actions.
We look forward to engaging in a balanced debate on the fundamental role of the litigation funding industry in both protecting claimants' rights and providing access to justice.

Brainerd man sentenced to 4 years in prison for arson at Third Precinct
He's also ordered to pay $12 million in restitution.
Breckenridge Police
A Brainerd man who admitted to helping set a fire at the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct during last May's riots has been sentenced.
Dylan Robinson, 23, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit arson in December 2020, and on Wednesday, April 28, he was sentenced to 48 months (four years) in prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced.
Robinson went to the Third Precinct on May 28, 2020, a few days after George Floyd was murdered by police, and breached a fence at the precinct. He lit an object held by an unidentified co-conspirator, who then threw it toward the Third Precinct building.
"On the night of May 28, 2020, Mr. Robinson chose to depart from lawful protest and instead engaged in violence and destruction. The arson at the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct put lives at risk and contributed to widespread lawlessness in Minneapolis," Acting U.S. Attorney Anders Folk said in a statement. "With today's sentence, Mr. Robinson is held accountable for his actions."
As part of his sentencing, Robinson was ordered to serve two years of supervised release and pay $12 million in restitution.
"ATF is committed to investigating the civil unrest arsons of 2020 that occurred throughout the Twin Cities," Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jeff Reed, of the ATF St. Paul Field Division said in a statement. "Arson, being inherently violent, is a serious crime that put many of our community members at risk, and it cannot be tolerated."
Robinson was among four Minnesota men to be federally indicted in connection to the arson at the precinct. Bryce Michael Williams, 26, of Staples, Davon D-Andre Turner, 24, of St. Paul, and Branden Michael Wolfe, 23, of St. Paul, were also charged and have pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to commit arson. They'll be sentenced at a later date, the release says.
"The danger posed by the defendant in this case was very real," Michael Paul, special agent in charge of the FBI's Minneapolis field office, said in a statement.
"Today's sentencing sends a clear message — regardless of motivation, when someone is intent on conducting a violent act that breaks federal law, the FBI and our law enforcement partners will move assertively to hold them accountable. This type of behavior puts public servants and our entire community in danger, and we simply will not let it go unaddressed."
The U.S. Attorney's Office has charged 23 people with federal arson-related charges in connection to civil unrest in the Twin Cities following Floyd's May 25 death, a spokesperson told Bring Me The News on Wednesday.

5 years on...how things have grown!
You are here: Home My Blog General We made it on the telly!
So I thought it's long overdue a quick blog! Sorry to all of you who follow me but since I went self employed in August 2012 thing have gone... well ballistic!
I spent the first few years developing this coaching business and it grew and grew. I went from delivering British Canoeing courses up to 3 star, to now delivering a whole host of British Canoeing personal skills awards and leadership awards, including the new Paddlesport Leader Award. The biggest development for me has been taking over a venue of our own that we can call home here in the Peak District. I now own and run Tittesworth Water Sports - a cracking venue that provides me with boat storage, a great open water venue and a classroom for a whole host of courses. We took over from previous occupants but I think we are finally getting there in terms of reputation as a new activity centre in the area, kit which is all new, staff which are awesome and location which is amazing.
The journey we've been on has been amazing an we are pleased to be working with top brands now such as Peak UK, Pyranha Kayaks, Venture Canoes, Red Paddle Co SUP, Palm Equipment, Crewsaver, Manchester Canoes and Ainsworth Paddles!!
Of course some courses are based at the centre, while others are based at appropriate venue around the country and Europe, but be assured of your venue, kit and equipment we provide and of course the coaching is all of the highest quality!

How This 169-Year-Old Company Is Scoring Big With Millennials
One of the oldest companies uses one of the oldest sports to succeed with a younger audience.
By Mandy Antoniacci@MandyAntoniacci
If you asked anyone, "what is the fastest growing population in the U.S. workforce today?" Hands down the vast majority would answer millennials. And they would be right.
If you asked anyone, "what is the fastest growing team sport in the U.S. today?" Hands down the vast majority would answer soccer. And they would be wrong.
With an increase of 350% since 2004, the fastest growing team sport in the nation is rugby - (you know, that oval-ball game involving scrummages, rucks, mauls and passing backwards). Considering that a decade ago, rugby in the U.S. hardly existed, the sport now has much to tout.
There are over 1.2M rugby participants in the U.S.
The World Sevens- (matches that consist of seven players per team), played in Las Vegas every year since 2004, draws over 80,000 fans and is broadcast live on NBC
Rugby Sevens will debut at the 2016 Olympic games this August in Rio
U.S. Rugby is launching its own professional league - The National Rugby Football League (NRFL) in 2017
Additionally, with the rising rates of awareness and concern for football's safety, many view rugby as a safer option. Even NFL coaches like Seattle Seahawks' Pete Carroll have famously adopted the "rugby-style" tackle as safer for the head, further exacerbating rugby's promising future.
Growth of the sport aside, when you examine the profile of the collegiate rugby student athlete, there is a set of transferable skills that make this group particularly attractive.
They are highly educated (100% more likely to have attended graduate school)
Rugby players are 88% more likely to earn >$150K/ per year
They deploy a strong team model
They're extremely entrepreneurial (players often have to fundraise to use facilities and hold down a job due to the lack of scholarship funding)
Penn Mutual, a 169-year old Life Insurance Company, recognized this fusion as a significant opportunity for their business.
"Rugby is the fastest growing team sport in the U.S. and we are one of the fastest growing life insurance companies in the U.S. so we saw that as a great synergy ", said Eileen McDonnell, Chairman & CEO, Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company. But when you look at the characters of the rugby players both as individuals and as teammates, these are the kinds of folks we knew we wanted."
As a company, Penn Mutual has not been a consumer advertiser, and never sponsored a sport. Instead of simply conforming, they wanted to reinvent the start of the next 170 years of their history.
"We hadn't recruited on college campuses for decades, so we needed a way to be unique and cut in front of the line to get the best students for our business, said McDonnell. We also wanted to get the type of individual who does well in our industry."
In a partnership that was created and grown by United World Sports and NBC Sports as a partner, the Penn Mutual Collegiate Rugby Championship was born. This weekend, the season-ending title for the Olympic sport of Rugby Sevens, will again be seen from Talen Energy Stadium in Philadelphia before a crowd of almost 30,000 people, giving college rugby its greatest presence of the year.
Penn Mutual has resided in the Philadelphia area for the entire duration of the company's heritage, so being approached as a title-sponsor was natural.
McDonnell describes, "Connecting with the larger business community and being part of the lives of millennials as they grow was one of our three strategic initiatives of this partnership...together with increasing our brand awareness in the millennial space, and recruiting and growing our workforce."
Since the commencement of their partnership, over 100M people have heard of Penn Mutual, and brand awareness has grown. They have also created internships with some of the players and even made permanent hires- hitting some of their employment benchmarks. The company's success and passion forced an extension of their original 3-year sponsorship deal to a 5-year deal, making them now the sponsor through 2019.
To commence the live coverage, NBC Sports Network is airing a one-hour special entitled, "Rugby Rising" - an in-depth depiction of the growth in Rugby in America on June 4th at 1 p.m. ET- one hour before the collegiate rugby championship. Two Olympic hopefuls will be showcased, Kristen Thomas and Madison Hughes, both of whom are supported by Penn Mutual.
Thomas represents the estimated 30% of total rugby players reported that are female. Aligning with a sport inclusive of women was imperative in the sponsorship decision.
"Our industry from a financial advisor perspective has been unable to get past 20% of it's advisor force being woman for my entire career over 30 years, explains McDonnell. Having access to female student athletes, allows us to present a platform that they would not have thought about for themselves."

North Forsyth High School
Baseball: North gets streak-breaking win over West to build momentum for playoffs

Updated: April 18, 2019, 11:07 p.m.
The result wound up being inconsequential for the North Forsyth baseball team, in a way.
The Raiders' playoff seed was vulnerable to movement on Thursday night, but only if Lambert would have won. The Longhorns didn't, losing 4-0 to South Forsyth, so the Raiders would have secured the No. 3 state playoff seed regardless of their result against West Forsyth.
North's 7-4 win over the Wolverines still had plenty of significance, however, for a team that had been struggling recently.
"It's a little momentum going into the playoffs," Raiders head coach Jim Cahill said. "I thought we swung the bat pretty well tonight. I thought our kids battled on the mound … (We're) just glad to get out of here with a win."
It broke a four-game losing streak for the Raiders, and the win was their first against a region opponent since before spring break. In fact, the Raiders' output of runs on Thursday was two more than they had managed in their previous four games combined.
"I think us just controlling our swings, not being big, long swings every time, getting two-strike contact and everything really contributes to getting runners on and scoring," said North third baseman Garrett Staton, who went 2-for-4 on the night.

North didn't break out immediately on Thursday. After two scoreless innings between Raiders starter Anthony DiMola and West's Luke Fernandez, the Wolverines grabbed the first lead on Luke Cartenuto's solo home run in the third inning. Holton Payne hit a dinger for the Raiders to tie it up in the fourth, but West got the lead back in the bottom of the frame on a bases-loaded walk and an alert play by Wyatt Crowell to dash home on a passed ball.
North (16-12, 8-7 Region 5-7A) responded forcefully over the next two innings, though: A two-RBI single by Miles Hartsfield and a base knock by Staton to drive in another gave the Raiders three in the fifth, and in the sixth, Charlie Aiken whacked a three-run home run over the scoreboard in left field.
West got a run back in the bottom of the sixth, but the Wolverines were silent after that, with Tyler Triche coming in from the bullpen to finish the game for North.
West (10-17, 3-12) was mathematically eliminated from playoff contention on Wednesday with its loss to Forsyth Central, but Thursday marked the formal end of the season for the Wolverines, who finished last in the region for the second straight year. Wolverines head coach Mike Pruitt found positivity nonetheless after the game, both at the fight he saw against the Raiders and the potential he sees for next season's team.
"This is probably the most we've competed all year, tonight," Pruitt said. "I told them, 'I've got nothing bad to say to you.'"
And even though it has to go on the road, North is positive about its chances in its first-round playoff series, which is set to start next Wednesday at Archer. The Tigers, the No. 2 seed from Region 8-7A, are currently 11-3 in region play but had a more pedestrian 6-7 mark against non-region opponents.
"I just love (this) team," Staton said. "We're a good group, we've got good chemistry. I think we can go a long way with each other."

Unibet Casino is an instant play casino (no download) with more than 300 video slots on offer. They have slots from Net Entertainment, WMS, Microgaming, IGT and Play 'N Go amongst others in 1 convenient place. They welcome new UK players with 10 no deposit free spins, a 200% first deposit bonus up to £200 plus up to 190 more free spins. The great thing about Unibet Casino is the vast range of quality slot games from various software providers which you won't find anywhere else.
Unibet Casino offers customer service around the clock, 365 days a year. There's a specific email address for UK players as well as a UK telephone number. However, they offer a Live Chat service which I found to be the easiest to use and the quickest in terms of response times.
Their support team was very friendly and knowledgeable which was great. I questioned them about the first deposit bonus, about cashing out and about some of their slots. They directed me to their Help Centre most of the time which had comprehensive information which helped my queries. I did email them a couple of times and received a response within 3 hours on both occasions. Customer service is good at Unibet Casino but Live Chat is strongly suggested due to short waiting times and a direct response.
As you can expect, you will find all the most commonly used payment methods at Unibet Casino. You have a number of e-wallet solutions like NETeller and MoneyBookers (Skrill) as well as prepaid online cards such as Ukash and Paysafecard. The main methods for depositing and cashout out are debit and credit cards which are accepted naturally.
If you want to withdraw quickly, debit/credit cards can take about 3 working days due to the banks processing transactions in this timeframe. Unibet Casino processes withdrawals within 12 to 24 hours which is superb. If you want your winnings within this timeframe, you should use NETeller or MoneyBookers as they funds will be available instantly.
Another thing to note is that Unibet Casino charges no fees whatsoever for cashing out. Saying that, there are no cashouts processed at weekends – this is the only negative is this. Once you request a withdrawal for the first time, you will need to provide identification documents – this is called the Know Your Customer policy (or KYC) which is a legal requirement for online casinos. Once you do this, it won't be needed again.
Unibet Casino is an instant play casino with all the regular casino games including blackjack, roulette, video poker and slots. However, it's their slots offering that makes them stand out. There are more than 300 slot games on offer via their Casino section.
They used to have a Casino Red and Casino Black section but have changed this (as of the 27th of February 2014) to a Casino section – this is much better as you will be able to find all their slots in 1 place. You have from a complete range of Net Entertainment-powered slots including Piggy Riches, Victorious, Boom Brothers and Dead or Alive.
You also have the newly released South Park slot which has 7 bonus features and is based on the adult animated sitcom featuring Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny. You can also play the infamous Mega Fortune progressive jackpot slot which is responsible for the world's biggest ever online jackpot at €17.8 million.
Then you have other slots from Microgaming, WMS Gaming, IGT, Play 'N Go and Ash Gaming amongst many others. I like the fact they have a full suite of WMS slots such as Spartacus Gladiator of Rome, Zeus III, Black Knight II and Invaders from the Planet Moolah. Then you have selected titles (the best ones basically) from Microgaming and IGT including the epic Avalon II from Microgaming and the classic Cleopatra from IGT.
When it comes to other software providers, you have a full selection of Play 'N Go slots (like Wild Blood and Riches of Ra) with my favourites being Pimped and Leprechaun Goes Egypt. If you're looking for Las Vegas slots (like the WMS ones), click on All Games and when you mouse over 'Slots', you will see a 'Vegas Slots' option – this is where I always go first.
New slots are added all the time at Unibet Casino so make sure you read our News section regularly for updates. As mentioned, all slots are played in your browser without needing to download any software (this is my preference). You can also play all the games for free before you go on to play for real money. If you love your slots, Unibet Casino's offering is second to none.
Unibet Casino is an instant play casino with all the regular casino games including blackjack, roulette, video poker and slots. However, it's their slots offering that makes them stand out. There are more than 250 slot games on offer via their Casino & Slots section.
Unibet Casino offers new UK players 10 no deposit free spins on a selection of NetEnt titles as soon as they sign up. Then there's a 200% first deposit bonus up to £200. Deposit from £10 to £100 to get a 200% match bonus free. If you deposited £100 for example, you'd receive £200 free.
The first deposit bonus has 35 times deposit plus bonus wagering requirements in order to withdraw it. That's pretty good. If you deposited £100 and got £200 free, this would amount to £300. You would then have to wager the £300 35 times before you could withdraw the bonus. I strongly recommend you stick to slots as they contribute fully to the wagering requirements (games like roulette and blackjack don't).
Once you deposit, you will get up to 190 additional free spins – if you deposited £10 or more, you would get 40 free spins whilst if you deposited £50 or more, you'd get 90 free spins. If you deposit £75 or more, you'd receive 140 free spins. Now, if you deposited £100 (or more), you'd get 190 free spins plus £200 free!
Unibet Casino also has other promotions for you to take part in. For example, they have a Sunday Funday promotion where if you stake £50 on any of their slots on a Sunday, you will receive 50 free spins on the Gonzo's Quest slot game on the Monday. Whenever they launch a new slot game, Unibet also gives away free spins or reload bonus offers – in order to find out about these promotions, come back to Online-Slot.co.uk where we cover all the latest promotions.

Sad Kitten With Special Feet Walks Up To Woman And Asks For Help!
This is a truly heart-breaking video clip, but thankfully, one that does have a happy ending!
The synopsis: A kind-hearted woman spotted in her yard a teeny stray kitten who was walking in a strange way. She decided to bring the kitten immediately inside her home to try to care for him, however, she realized that the kitten was special and he needed more help than she could offer him.

Hungry, underfed in the U.S.: "A Place at the Table"
As Jeff Bridges suggests, if another country had our rates of food insecurity, we'd be at war or, at least, outraged.

As Vandana Shiva (founder of Navdanya) states, "Most farmers are women. All seed savers are women...When women do farming, they do it for life. When women do farming, they do it for their children. They do it for nutrition. They do it for taste." This is why seed saving is so important: Seed saving preserves food, culture, history and empowers individuals. For these individuals in India, seed saving is a central, integral part of their livelihood and existence. My hope is that the more people, especially Americans and individuals in "developed" countries, who recognize the source of seeds and their corporate owners, the more they will acknowledge that seed saving is far more than a quaint hobby by backyard gardeners. Even with the prominence of GMOs, I don't think we're at a point yet in this country where seed saving is on-par with healthful, sustainably grown food dialogue. I hope we'll get there soon.

Bible > ERV > Joshua 10
◄ Joshua 10 ►
Five Kings War against Gibeon
1Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them; 2that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty. 3Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying, 4Come up unto me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel. 5Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
6And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country are gathered together against us. 7So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. 8And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hands; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. 9Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly; for he went up from Gilgal all the night. 10And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and he slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah. 11And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were in the going down of Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
The Sun Stands Still
12Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.
13And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
14And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
15And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
Victory at Makkedah
16And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. 17And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah. 18And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them: 19but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand. 20And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fenced cities, 21that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
22Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave. 23And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon. 24And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. 25And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. 26And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. 27And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day.
28And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof; he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein, he left none remaining: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
Joshua Conquers Southern Palestine
29And Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah: 30and the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining in it; and he did unto the king thereof as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
31And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it: 32and the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
34And Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, unto Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it; 35and they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it: 37and they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that were therein.
38And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it: 39and he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to the king thereof.
40So Joshua smote all the land, the hill country, and the South, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining: but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded. 41And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon. 42And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel. 43And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

Yes the most valiant and also a very true German Army Commander in World War II of such seniority who in 1944 died for his spouse and son Manfred before himself.
a)In spring 1944 he became supreme commander of the German army group B in North France, Belgium & Netherlands.
b) The bomb plot to assassinate Hitler was actioned on 20/7/1944. This is a well-‐ known date, the bomb exploded on this date but failed to kill Hitler or seriously injure him.
Rommel took cyanide to kill himself on 14/10/1944 Nr VLM two German Generals delivered Hitler's "offer" that Rommel takes his cyanide tablet, provided he took that tablet. His wife and son would not be removed to a concentration camp as customary. His staff officers would also be spared. (Rommel was born in 1891 and died in 1944). Thus Rommel died by this suicide in Southern Germany on 14/10/1944.
Rommel was convinced Hitler would not put him on public trial as a Field Marshal.
Rommel's son Manfred (only) son was born in 1928.
This is the testimony of Manfred Rommel the Field Marshal's son dated(Stuttgart) 1990 in his introduction to his father's book WW1: "Infantry Attacks" republished (1990. Copyright Manfred Rommel) in 2006 – Greenhill Books in English.
1940 – Command of a tank division engaged in the offensive against the Anglo-‐ French troops in France 1940-‐ May. By German forces.
1941-‐1943: Commander of the Afrika Korps: (North Africa) mainly against the British Armies. Rommel recalled to Germany in April 1943, from Africa.
Sept 1943 placed in command of the Italian and Balkan Fronts until 1944 early.
Early 1944: placed in command anti-‐ invasion forces in Western Europe.
Spring 1944: Commander: German Army Group B in Northern France, Belgium and Netherlands: his last command.
For his victories at Knightsbridge and Tobruk in June 1942 (North Africa) he was awarded the rank of Field Marshal. Many would say he was the best Wehrmacht Commander in WW11 and the greatest strategist.
Severely injured in Normandy on 17/7/1944 whilst commanding army group B. (never returned to active service).
Died on 14/10/1944, shortly after recovering from those war wounds, Nr VLM South Germany.

Cory Booker's legend grows: Newark mayor saves woman from fire
By Rene Lynch
Cory Booker needs a cape, stat!
The Newark, N.J., mayor -- already lionized in some corners for his good deeds -- added to his list of praiseworthy actions on Thursday night when he raced into a burning home to help save a woman trapped inside. The woman, who suffered second-degree burns on her neck and back, is reported to be in stable condition. Booker got away with only minor burns and smoke inhalation.
And, of course, his heroics exploded into a national story overnight.
At one point Friday morning, "Cory Booker" was the most-searched term on Google this morning as the public tries to learn the details of Booker's heroics. NPR has crowned him "today's hero." And over on Twitter, the story has taken on a humorous life of its own, with social media types trying to outdo themselves with made-up #corybookerstories. (Example: "When Chuck Norris has nightmares, Cory Booker turns on the light & sits with him until he falls back asleep.")
A rising star in the Democratic Party, Booker, 42, is considered a possible gubernatorial candidate in next year's race. The elected leader of New Jersey's largest city -- one that battles chronic problems such as crime, drugs and violence -- Booker has been praised for actions that have had a way of grabbing the limelight.
After his election, instead of living in posh, mayorly quarters, he continued to live in one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in the city to better stay connected with the people. During a 2010 blizzard that paralyzed the city, Booker grabbed a shovel and got to work. And when late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien began taking potshots at Newark, Booker turned the joke back on O'Brien, banning him from using Newark Liberty International Airport and demanding a public apology. The running "feud" ended when Booker made an appearance on the show to patch things up.
A Rhodes scholar with degrees from Yale, Stanford and Oxford, the social media-savvy Booker has also been interviewed by Oprah, who wanted to know all about his unorthodox approach to caring for his constituents.
His latest actions shouldn't hurt his political aspirations (unless someone accuses him of taking a job away from a firefighter).
Booker was returning home Thursday night when he saw his neighbor's home ablaze, he told "CBS This Morning." A shrieking woman said her daughter was still inside.
Firefighters had been called but had not yet arrived. The mayor's security detail tried to drag him away, but Booker feared that the young woman might die, Det. Alex Rodriguez told CBS. "Without thinking twice, he ran into the flames and rescued this young lady," said Rodriguez, who was there and helped in the rescue.
Booker acknowledged he was scared. He ventured inside just as the kitchen erupted into flames and he couldn't immediately find the woman. Then she called for help, and Booker found her in a bed. The 6-foot-3 Booker threw her over his shoulder and ran for the exit.
"I punched through the kitchen and the flames and that's when I saw Det. Rodriguez. He grabbed her as well and we got her down the stairs and we both just collapsed outside," Booker said.
"Honestly it was terrifying and to look back and see nothing but flames and to look in front of you and see nothing but blackness," Booker said, adding that the incident gave him even more respect for the work of firefighters. He called the incident a "come-to-Jesus moment."
Booker was treated for smoke inhalation and minor, second-degree burns, and his thumb and a finger on his right hand had to be bandaged. It wasn't enough to keep the mayor from tweeting, however.
"Thanks 2 all who are concerned. Just suffering smoke inhalation," Booker signaled to his followers shortly after the incident. "We got the woman out of the house. We are both off to hospital. I will b ok."
Early Friday, he added: "Thanks everyone, my injuries were relatively minor. Thanks to Det. Alex Rodriguez who helped get all of the people out of the house."
The cause of the fire was unknown.

The Second Appellate Division, Division Seven, has had its hands full with class action-related decisions. In this post, I listed some of the significant decisions to issue from that Division, including Puerto v. Superior Court (2008) 158 Cal.App.4th 1242 and Belaire-West Landscape, Inc. v. Superior Court (2007) 149 Cal.App.4th 554. As luck would have it, Division Seven was asked to decide yet another matter involving the right of putative class members to obtain identity and contact information for putative class members, in Crab Addison, Inc. v. Superior Court (Martinez) (December 30, 2008).
"[CAI] argued that its employees had a heightened expectation of privacy as to their contact information based on forms they signed regarding release of their contact information. Based on this heightened expectation of privacy, CAI claimed, if the court were to consider disclosure of the employees' contact information, it should do so subject to an "opt in" notice requirement. That is, the employees would be contacted and only those who chose to "opt in" to the lawsuit would have their contact information disclosed to Martinez.
"This brings us to the key question in this case: the effect of the release forms. CAI argues that these forms gave their employees a heightened expectation of privacy in their contact information, requiring that the contact information be given greater protection and making an "opt in" notice procedure proper. We are unconvinced by this argument.
(Slip op., at p. 13.) To answer that question, the Court relied heavily upon the policy pronouncements in Gentry v. Superior Court (2007) 42 Cal.4th 443.
"Gentry highlights the importance placed on the rights of employees to bring class action lawsuits to enforce their statutory rights to overtime pay. So high is the importance of these rights that courts may invalidate contractual provisions that infringe upon them.
Although it probably won't, this decision, coupled with those before it, should signal to defendants that the issue of discoverability of class member identity and contact information is settled. Instead, it is more likely that we will see experiments with variations of the Release form used in this case to see if there is any way to thread the needle and force an "opt-in" notice procedure.
A thorough discussion of this decision can also be found at the UCL Pracitioner.


To prepare the salsa verde; put the garlic, herbs, capers, if used, and lemon juice into blender with 30ml (2tbsp) olive oil. Blend together until coarsely chopped. Season. Heat the remaining oil in a pan and cook the steaks for 2-4 minutes on each side. Lay the steaks over the salad and top with the remaining bread.
Store any remaining salsa verde in the fridge for up to 3 days, or for extra speed use a jar of prepared salsa verde or pesto sauce. Try this recipe with your favourite bread.

Iranian FM: IRGC Designation Harms Europe
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian warned on Sunday that the EU would shoot itself in the foot by listing the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist entity.
Referring to his presence in a closed session of the Iranian parliament on Sunday, Amir Abdollahian warned that Tehran will respond to the European Union Parliament's blacklisting of the IRGC.
"The European Parliament shot itself in the foot by proscribing the IRGC in a vote held earlier this week," the top diplomat wrote on Twitter.
"The Majlis plans to reciprocate by including army elements of the European countries in (Iran's) terrorism list," the minister said, adding that parliament members had appreciated efforts by the IRGC to protect Iran's national security.
On Wednesday, the European Parliament's members backed an amendment added to an annual foreign policy report, calling for "the EU and its member states to include the IRGC in the EU's terror list". The step was passed by a vote of 598 in favor and nine against, with 31 abstentions.
The amendment will urge Brussels to blacklist the IRGC military force, the volunteer Basij force, and the IRGC's Quds Force.
Tehran has repeatedly announced that the IRGC is an official state body which has had and will continue to have an important and key role in ensuring the security of Iran and the region.
Iranian officials have warned the EU that its plan to blacklist the IRGC as a "terrorist organization" may have unbearable consequences, urging Europe to avoid repeating the past mistakes.
They cautioned the European governments against falling into the trap of a plot hatched by the US and Israel, calling on the EU to maintain its independence from the US.
Tehran stresses the European states enjoy safety because of the elite forces' efforts in the fight against terror groups in the region.
The move has been strongly condemned by Iranian officials, commanders and the Armed Forces.
In April 2019, the Iranian parliament passed a law designating American forces in West Asia, known as the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), as a terrorist organization. The move was made in response to the US blacklisting of the IRGC.

Q: Recommended way to use Bootstrap's LESS source in Ember.JS ember-cli app From this answer, it looks like linking to Bootstrap's dist files is easy.
However, I'm using LESS in my project and want to take advantage of Bootstrap's LESS files. What's the recommended way to link this all up?
Also, since using LESS is technically using Bootstrap's source files, should I also link to Bootstrap's JS source too? Or is it fine to assume mixing sources bootstrap/less and compiled dists bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js will just work?

A: Here are the steps I did:

*

*Ensure ember-cli compiles your .less files by installing broccoli-less-single
$ npm install --save-dev ember-cli-less

*Install bootstrap3 with bower
$ bower install bootstrap --save

*Remove app/styles/app.css and create your own app/styles/app.less
@import "vendor/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less";

BONUS:
You can import bootstrap.js through the Brocfile.js file. Just add
app.import('vendor/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js');

NOTE: In your app/index.html, make sure you add
<script src="assets/vendor.js"></script>

A: For Ember 2.8 solution from ember-cli-less addon readme worked for me:
Install Bootstrap source:
bower install --S bootstrap

Specify the include paths in ember-cli-build.js:
var app = new EmberApp({
  lessOptions: {
    paths: [
      'bower_components/bootstrap/less'
    ]
   }
});

Import into app.less:
@import 'bootstrap';

Taken from: https://github.com/gdub22/ember-cli-less#examples

A: As of Ember CLI version 0.1.1, this is the recommended way to use Bootstrap's less in your project.
First, install bootstrap:
$ bower install --save-dev bootstrap

Then install the less preprocessor
$ npm install --save-dev ember-cli-less

Then replace app.css with app.less in this folder:
/app/styles/

Inside your new app.less file, add this to the top of the file:
@import "../../bower_components/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less";

In your Brocfile.js, add this:
app.import(app.bowerDirectory + '/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.js');

If you also want to use glyphicons that are bundled with boostrap, add this to Brocfile.js (ember-cli-build.js if you're using the latest ember-cli):
app.import(app.bowerDirectory + '/bootstrap/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot', {
    destDir: 'fonts'
});
app.import(app.bowerDirectory + '/bootstrap/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg', {
    destDir: 'fonts'
});
app.import(app.bowerDirectory + '/bootstrap/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf', {
    destDir: 'fonts'
});
app.import(app.bowerDirectory + '/bootstrap/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff', {
    destDir: 'fonts'
});

A: You may have found solution for this already, but with ember-cli 0.0.33+, bower install -S bootstrap, which saves your files to the vendor folder and writes to your bower.json file.
Follow that up with app.import('vendor/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js'); in your Brocfile.js. I included an app.less file in app/styles/. You can reference yourvendor/bootstrap/less/` from there.
I also include a custom.less import at the bottom of my app.less where I can write my own stuff.
Hope that helps.

A: To use the Less version of Bootstrap with ember-cli:

*

*install Bootstrap Bower package
$ bower install --save bootstrap

*import bootstrap.less into app/styles/app.less
@import "vendor/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less";
