Let's say we're architecting a high-performance website. We know from Steve Sounders' books we see the most performance gains by focusing on frontend optimizations.
Serve content from the edge. By serving content from a server that is physically closer to the user we improve performance. We can use a content delivery network (CDN) to do so.
Set cache and compression headers. Since these assets do not change often only want the user to download them once. We can do so by setting the expiration headers to be far in the future (say one year). In addition, we can decrease the download size by compressing them.
Nowadays, this architecture is pretty easy to implement. Tools like webpack or gulp and services from CloudFlare or Amazon CloudFront will handle most (if not all) of this for you.
However, this architecture has a known problem. Technically, anytime you implement browser caching you will encounter this problem. Let's take a closer look at this problem and a common solution.
While true, invalidating the cache is not so hard in this case. Due to the nature of the web, we have a centralized cache rather than a distributed cache. When a user requests our web page, we have the opportunity to invalidate the cache and load new assets.
A common practice is to version file names or append a query string parameter. While you can do this manually, it's likely the tool you use to concatenate and minify your files can do this too. I recommend using checksum hashes as opposed to version numbers.
Now the next time a user requests our web page, the paths to the assets will be different causing them to be downloaded and cached.
The primary goal of this architecture is for users to only download these assets once. Then, on subsequent visits, these assets would load from their local browser cache greatly improving performance.
This architecture achieves this goal. Yet it's only optimized for the sad path. That is when a user has an empty or stale cache. In doing, so we've actually degraded the performance of the happy path. That is when a user has a primed cache.
Sites with assets that don't change frequently or don't have high traffic may not notice this trade off. Hence the double entendre in the title of edge case. Nonetheless, I want to emphasize this trade off as similar articles rarely do.
On the surface this seems good. The user downloaded the assets and utilized the cache upon a subsequent visit. Then when we updated the assets, the user downloaded the new assets the next time they visited the site.
The problem is with the last step. The user downloaded all the assets again. While these assets were indeed new, it's likely only a small amount of the file changed. As such, having a user with a primed cache download everything again is not optimal.
Now if we play through the same user flow the last step becomes User downloads only changed assets. This is far more optimized. Especially for high traffic websites. If we consider separating out jQuery (40KB minimized) for a site with 1 million hits per month, that's 40GB of savings. Although that may not sound like much in the modern age of the internet, that could be the difference between plan tiers with your CDN.


BlueSky Ecology is currently working closely with Tradewind Turbines researching the hypotheses that their innovative new wind turbine could be considered 'bat friendly'. The Tradewind Turbine is constructed on a vertical axis and is powered by three large sails that turn very slowly (at wind speed). Unlike conventional wind turbines, there are no fast moving blades and so bat mortality as a result of collision or barotrauma is unlikely.
Small wind systems are making a growing contribution to installed wind system capacity in the UK. It is important to understand some of the wider implications of their installation, including their impact on wildlife. 2010 saw the UK wind market for small wind systems (SWS), increase by almost 71% from 2009 (RenewableUK).
Bats are protected under current European and UK legislation due to their serious decline in numbers. With the expected potential growth of SWS, claims that turbines are 'wildlife friendly' must be substantiated through rigorous scientific processes.
Research into bat mortality at wind turbine sites has focussed primarily on horizontal axis wind turbines and usually on large structures of over 50m. Little research has been conducted into small wind systems and no research is evident on vertical axis wind turbines (Tradewind Turbine style) in relation to bats or birds.
We feel that this turbine, with its slow moving, large sails should improve the outcome for bats should they encounter this type of turbine in their natural habitat. BlueSky Ecology is leading this research which is expected to be a long term commitment.

Senator Rubio: 'If We Don't Have Replanting, We're Going to Lose the Industry'
Kelsey Fry July 22, 2016 Agriculture, Citrus, Citrus Greening, Legislative
On July 21, 2016, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) visited the Lakeland area to tour a citrus grove affected by citrus greening. Sen. Rubio was joined by Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam. They visited Gapway Groves in Auburndale to meet growers and industry leaders to discuss the grave problem facing Florida's citrus industry.
Rubio and U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) urged Senate leaders of both parties to make citrus greening a priority in tax legislation expected to be considered by Congress later this year. Specifically, they called for the passage of the Emergency Citrus Disease Response Act (S. 2346), a bipartisan and bicameral bill introduced by Nelson and co-sponsored by Rubio, which would allow citrus growers to expense the costs of equipment at the time of purchase, instead of the current 14-year depreciation schedule.
"Florida's signature crop is in the fight for its life," said Putnam. He talked about the "death spiral" that the Florida citrus industry would fall into if growers quit replanting. "While scientists are looking for answers, growers need incentive to hang on and continue to replant so that we don't lose citrus trees, which reduces production, which causes processing plants to close, which causes people to be laid off," he stated.
Putnam said that's why the announcement by Rubio and Nelson, about immediate expensing to be able to improve the tax treatment of citrus groves, is key.
"Let's get rid of the federal government's disincentive to replant to save an industry," said Putnam. "That is what their leadership on this issue is going to mean to citrus growers up and down the state of Florida."
Putnam explained that having the federal tax code reflect the urgency of the situation so growers will replant and invest in the future while researchers work on the next wave of treatments, and potentially even the cure, is going to mean all the difference for the state.
Putnam went into further detail by explaining how local service budgets — such as school board budgets and sheriff departments — would be impacted by the collapse of the Florida citrus industry.
"It's a $10 billion industry, so whether you're a citrus-producing county or not, the fact that "citrus is king" in Florida for agricultural commodities helps make Florida a better place to live, work and play," Putnam said.
Rubio said that both he and Nelson are hoping that the provision will be in the tax code for 2017 "so that next year as growers are replanting, they will be able to write off the cost of doing it on their taxes."
"If we don't have replanting, we're going to lose the industry," Rubio concluded.

This quarter the key highlights are:
1. HCA outcome of consultation on new Regulatory Framework
Just as we were all breaking our new year's resolutions the HCA delivered on theirs! The long-awaited outcome of the HCA's consultation on the new Regulatory Framework was published on 30 January 2015 (click here to read the full document). The new Regulatory Framework will, as expected, take effect from 1 April 2015.
You can read our comprehensive digest of the key changes here. Find out more about our Board Training packages on the new Regulatory Framework.
2. Welsh Government's decision on Board Pay
On 26 February 2015, the Welsh Government decided that housing associations in Wales would not be able to pay Board members, disappointingly retaining the status quo following the consultation process late last year.
Lesley Griffiths, minister for communities and tackling poverty expressed the view that payment of Board members was not right currently, since many housing associations' resources are squeezed in the current climate. As a result it is hoped that the issue will remain open for the future.
3. Department for Business, Innovation and Skills publishes regulations on company and business names
On 4 October 2013, the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills published a response to its consultation on reducing company and business names regulations as part of the Government's Red Tape Challenge. As a result of this, two new Regulations (The Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business (names and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2014 and The Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business names (Sensitive Words and Expressions) Regulations 2014) took effect on 31st January 2015 ("the Regulations").
The Regulations amend the words to be considered or disregarded when determining if a name proposed to be registered is the same as another in the Registrar's index. This is a key change for organisations with popular names (particularly where, for example, they have had a dispute in the past). If you are concerned you should consult the Regulations and consider registering a dormant company to protect any names you consider would be too similar.
Twenty-six words have also been removed from the "sensitive" list including "International", "Group", "Holding", "United Kingdom" and "National". Unfortunately one of the names our clients often request, "Institute", remains on the sensitive list. The Regulations also extend the list of characters that can be used in a company name and includes various accents and other diacritical marks, signs or symbols.
The Regulations also relax some current requirements, so that if at least six companies share an office, place or location, their registered names may be held and made available for inspection at that venue, rather than having to be displayed at all times.
4. Charity Commission publishes a 'strategic statement' on its regulation of fundraising
In December the Charity Commission published a Strategic Statement on the Regulation of Fundraising. The paper acknowledges the importance of fundraising to charities and how, if done well, it builds public confidence. However, it also acknowledges that mishandled or fraudulent activities can damage this.
The paper is divided into three parts; Part 1 deals with self-regulation of charity fundraising and describes the three bodies that are involved in the self-regulatory system: The Fundraising Standards Board, The Institute of Fundraising and The Public Fundraising Regulatory Association. Part 2 deals with the Commission's role in regulating charities which fundraise. This section emphasises the obligations of the Trustee in preventing fundraising problems and the misapplication of funds, and the circumstances in which the Commission will intervene. This reflects the regulatory rather than advisory approach that we have seen the Commission take in the past few years. The third part covers other organisations with a role in fundraising, such as the Gambling Commission, the Advertising Standards Authority, Action Fraud and HMRC.
5. Stationery Requirements
We have received several queries over the last month from our Registered Provider clients regarding what information must appear on their rent review letters and websites. We therefore thought it would be helpful to include an overview of the trading disclosure requirements for companies and registered societies.
place of registration (i.e. 'Registered in England and Wales');
registration number;
address of registered office;
either all of the directors' names or none; and
if a charitable company, include the words 'Registered Charity' (although it is not necessary to quote the charity registration number).
Registered societies
full name (but there is no requirement to disclose the registration number); and
if charitable, then confirmation of exempt charitable status.
Although there is no statutory requirement to include the place of registration or registration number, most registered societies will still include this information on their stationery and websites.
If you do not comply with these requirements then the organisation can face a fine of up to £1,000. Officers may also be liable, and the ability of the organisation to indemnify them for such liability will be subject to the provisions in the organisation's constitution. Therefore, in any situation where there is any doubt as to what information needs to be disclosed, it is always better to provide too much information rather than too little!
Spotlight: Political activities by charities
Now that we are in the throes of campaigning season, our 'spotlight' explores the law around political activities by charities and the effect of the Transparency of Lobbying, Non Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Act 2014 ("the Lobbying Act"), which took effect for the current campaigning season on 19 September 2014.
Although charities play a vital role in campaigning for law and policy change at government level, they must not be established for purely political purposes. The Charity Commission's guidance states that political campaigning, or political activity (see the guidance for the definition it uses for these), must be undertaken by a charity only in the context of supporting the delivery its charitable purposes. Although some charitable aims are best served by carrying out political activities, this must never become the reason for a charity's existence. In particular, charities must never engage in activities which appear to favour one political party over another.
In practice this distinction can be quite difficult to ascertain, particularly because what is considered to be 'political' evolves over time (for example, the promotion of human rights is now considered charitable following the Human Rights Act 1998). One well-publicised example of this tightrope was Oxfam's "The Perfect Storm" tweet last summer, which suggested that a number of government policies had forced people into poverty and which was criticised by the Charity Commission as creating a misperception of political bias.
A key 'warning sign' that a political activity is becoming the primary object of your charity is where your activities are focused wholly on securing or opposing a change in the law or policy. When considering whether to engage in political activities, trustees must first check that the charity's governing document contains a power for it to do so. If it does, you should then carefully consider whether such a campaign is reasonably likely to be effective in actually supporting or achieving your charity's purposes. You should weigh the costs and risks involved (particularly from a reputational perspective) against the likely impact the activity will make. Such objective consideration can be difficult when a cause is close to trustees' hearts, so where substantial costs may be incurred it is worth seeking independent advice for an objective point of view.
The Lobbying Act
The Lobbying Act is intended to limit the activities of 'non-party campaigners' (individuals or organisations that campaign in elections but are not standing as political parties or candidates) in the run up to an election, and to limit the amount of money they spend on 'regulated campaigns'. 'Regulated campaigns' are activities that:
can reasonably be regarded as intended to influence voters at elections (the Purpose test); and
are aimed at, seen by or involving the public or a section of the public (the Public test).
Influencing voters includes enhancing or reducing the prospects of specific political parties, candidates or groups of candidates that support particular policies or issues. Organisations don't have to name a political party or group of candidates to influence voters - material can be covered by the rules even if it is intended to achieve something else, such as raising awareness of a public policy issue.
Material that a charity sends to its members and committed supporters isn't captured by the Lobbying Act, as long as it deals with issues that fall within the charity's aims and objectives. The exact nature of a 'committed supporter' will vary between organisations, but could include:
regular donors by direct debit;
people with an annual subscription; and
people who are actively involved in the organisation.
It will not include the wider range of supporters, such as those you may update via Twitter and other social media.
If you think that your charity is carrying out a regulated campaigning activity, you should:
estimate the likely costs of the activities – if you are spending more than £20,000 in England or £10,000 in Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales then you may need to register the charity with the Electoral Commission;
estimate whether the costs relate to activity in particular constituencies – there is a spending limit at constituency level of £9,750;
consider whether your campaigning is/will be 'co-ordinated' with another organisation – if it is, there are joint campaign rules that should be considered;
register your charity if costs exceed the threshold – once registered, your charity will need to follow certain rules on how it manages and reports its spending on regulated activities, and on which donations it can accept.

Chevrolet has announced that the Camaro convertible will make its official debut at the Los Angeles auto show this November. It's set to go on sale in February 2011, and will battle the Ford Mustang convertible for the dollars of sun-loving pony-car fans. Speaking of dollars, we also now know how many of them it will take to snag a 'Maro droptop: $30,000, or about $6500 more than the base hardtop. It's also about $2000 more than the cheapest Mustang convertible ($27,995). If the pricing gap holds true throughout the lineup, expect to pay at least $39,000 for the cloth-topped Camaro SS.
As we expected, the droptop will employ the same powertrain lineup as the Camaro coupe. The base engine is a direct-injected, 3.0-liter V-6 with 312 hp, while SS models score a 6.2-liter V-8 producing 426 hp. A six-speed manual remains the standard transmission, with a six-speed automatic optional for those who like their cruisin' simple and their livin' easy.
We also got another peek at the convertible, this time an SS model. Shot with its top down in an idyllic beach setting, it looks as handsome as the coupe, although we have yet to see the car with its fabric roof in place.

Q: C++ Issue using overloaded operator on a pointer: expected unqualified-id error
I'm having a hard time figuring out what is going wrong and how to resolve it.
I'm using an overloaded array subscript operator ([]) of a Class through a pointer, but I'm receiving the compiler error: expected unqualified-id
with the following statements
if (!(books->[i].isEmpty()) && books->[i].getIsbn() == ISBNnumber) {
                    if (numBooks <= books->[i].getQty()) {
                        listToPrint.push_back(books->[i]);
                        qntyPurchased.push_back(numBooks);
                        books->[i].setQty(books->[i].getQty() - numBooks);
                    } else {
                        cout << "\nThere aren't enough copies to fulfill this order.\n\n";
                    }
                    foundFlag = true;
                    break;
                }

For reference, 'books' is class member that stores a pointer to the instance of another class.
class Menu {
private:
// Pointer to a bookCollection object
static BookCollection *books;
}

class BookCollection
{
static const int MAX_BOOKS = 20;
BookData book[MAX_BOOKS]; // array of BookData objects
int findBook(string);

public:
BookData &operator[](const int i) { return book[i];
}

I was expecting for the compiler to treat it as just another pointer with an array subscript operator, but it's not working.
It works if I use the call to the operator function,
    (books->operator.isEmpty())
But I was trying to avoid this to have cleaner code.

Looking for any suggestions to resolve the error: expected unqualified-id

A: For example this expression (and other similar expressions)
books->[i].isEmpty()

is syntactically invalid.
Instead use
books->operator []( i).isEmpty()

or
( *books )[i].isEmpty()

Here is a simplified demonstrative program
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    class BookData
    {
    public:
        bool isEmpty() { return true;  }
    };

    class BookCollection
    {
        BookData book[10]; // array of BookData objects

    public:
        BookData & operator[](size_t i)
        {
            return book[i];
        }

        const BookData & operator[](size_t i) const
        {
            return book[i];
        }
    };

    class Menu
    {
    public:
        BookCollection *books;
    };

    BookCollection b;
    Menu m = { &b };

    if (m.books->operator[](0).isEmpty())
    {
        std::cout << "It works!" << std::endl;
    }

    if ( (*m.books)[0].isEmpty())
    {
        std::cout << "And this one works!" << std::endl;
    }
}

Its output is
It works!
And this one works!

A: Your statement books->[i].isEmpty() is syntactically wrong. As your operator [] in BookCollection returns a reference to a BookData-object out of the internal array, you will have to use the operator in the following way:
books[i].isEmpty() && books[i].getIsbn()

(Assuming that BookData provides methods isEmpty() and getIsbn(), of course.)
See the following working example:
struct Foo {
    int getX() { return x; }
    int x=0;
};

class BookCollection
{
    static const int MAX_BOOKS = 20;
    Foo book[MAX_BOOKS]; // array of BookData objects

public:
    Foo &operator[](const int i) { return book[i];  }
};

int main() {
   BookCollection *b = new BookCollection();
   int x = ((*b)[10]).getX();
}

Specializing in Pre & Charged Off Vehicle Loans Nationwide"
When does a Private Investigator license become delinquent?
The Private Investigator license becomes delinquent 30 days after expiration.
How long after the expiration of my license am I able to renew it?
If after three years you fail to renew a delinquent license, you must submit a new application and begin the application process again.
To change your business name, you must submit a written request to the Bureau. Submit at least six names for consideration.
Yes. A Private Investigator may list a post office box only if mail delivery to the business address is not possible, or if the principal place of business is located at the licensee's personal residence. This request must be explained in writing. Otherwise, the company must state address by street, number and city. In addition, no licensee shall conduct business from any location other than the location for which a license or branch office registration was issued.
How long does it take to process a new license following a request for a change of name, address or branch office?
Must Private Investigators who have concealed weapon permits, also have the Bureau's exposed weapons permit while on duty?
Yes. Even though a Private Investigator may possess a concealed weapons permit, he/she must also complete Bureau-approved firearms training course and obtain the Bureau's exposed firearms permit prior to carrying and using a firearm.
Can a Private Investigator "ambulance chase"?
No. Private Investigators are prohibited from soliciting business from anyone who has sustained a bodily injury as a result of an accident or from soliciting business from a family member of anyone who has sustained a bodily injury or death. However, they may solicit business from persons having an indirect interest in the injury, such as the injured person's attorney, insurance company or employer.
No. A Private Investigator has no law enforcement authority even if he/she has been hired by law enforcement to perform an investigation. A Private Investigator is an ordinary citizen and can only make citizen's arrests.
The name, addresses, and license number of the licensee as they appear in the Bureau's records.
An employer who is a licensee shall respond in writing within 30 days to an applicant's written request for certification of the applicant's work experience and either provide the certification or the reason for denial. If the applicant is unable to obtain a written response or reason for denial and the applicant states under penalty of perjury that the employer (licensee's) reasons for denial are invalid or insufficient, the director may require that the employer (licensee) provide the Bureau with all relevant employment records maintained regarding the applicant. The Bureau will use these records to substantiate the applicant's employment experience.
Must a Private Investigator's findings be submitted to the client in writing?
Investigative reports must be submitted in a manner agreed upon by the investigator and the client. If there is no agreement, oral reports are as acceptable as written reports. Investigative reports must be submitted to the client upon demand if payment has been rendered. Private investigators must make every effort to ascertain that the information acquired is factual and correct. While the Bureau has no jurisdiction over fees, licensees must provide clients with a fee schedule or reasonable explanation of how charges are calculated should the client question the licensee's billing.
Can a Private Investigator enter property without an owner's consent?
No. A Private Investigator may not enter any private building without owner's consent.
Once a license is obtained, can the licensee conduct business at a location other than what appears in the Bureau's records?
No. A licensee may only conduct business at the location shown in the Bureau's records unless he or she obtains a branch office certificate.

Q: returning a dict-like structure from a groupby here is the basic code:
from my_parser import data
from itertools import groupby
from collections import Counter

def grades(date=datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m')):
  this_month = self.data.key_by('GRADE').pop(date) # this gives a list of this month
  monthly = dict(groupby(this_month, lambda k: make_letter(k.GRADE))) # group it by letter grade
  c = [{
    'month': k,
    'total': len(x)
  } for k,x in monthly.iteritems()]

however, the dictionary returns like so:
A : <itertools._grouper object at 0x1033f0c90>
C : <itertools._grouper object at 0x1033f0c50>

is it possible to get it to return more like this, or an alternate tool to do the same concept?
{
  A : [ ... ]
  B : [ ... ]
}

A: Instead of
monthly = dict(groupby(this_month, lambda k: make_letter(k.GRADE))) # group it by letter grade

try
monthly = {
    val:list(items)
    for val,items in
    groupby(this_month, lambda k: make_letter(k.GRADE))
}

Edit: You may need to pre-sort this_month such that grades are in ascending order (or at least such that all grades corresponding to a given letter appear together).


The Trump administration is appealing a recent court order that temporarily halted construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. U.S. District Court for the District of Montana Judge Brian Morris last year ordered a stop to the long-embattled oil transport line through Canada and Nebraska while the State Department reworks its review.
The government's appeal, filed Friday, follows appeals by both TransCanada Corp. and environmental challengers, who said they may fight some parts of the November injunction.
Morris found that the Trump administration's State Department had failed to justify why the agency decided to issue a cross-border permit after the Obama administration blocked the project. He called for more analysis of the pipeline's climate impacts and discussion of where the project fits in the current oil market.
The judge, an Obama appointee, simultaneously quashed some environmental challenges, such as a claim that TransCanada fell short of its duties under the Endangered Species Act in its plans to mitigate impacts to animals in the pipeline's path.
The cases now head to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has blocked several Trump administration policies. President Trump, who said the Morris order was politically motivated, has also accused the West Coast court of exhibiting liberal bias.
Following the Keystone XL injunction, Trump vowed to nominate 9th Circuit judges who would issue rulings more favorable to his administration.
His recent round of picks for the court includes Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP attorney Daniel Collins, who defended Shell Oil Co. and other energy operators against climate change challenges.


Dutch automaker Spyker has largely stayed off the grid for the better part of a few years now. The only thing we've heard about the company in that time was when it was restructuring its company to accommodate its new business partner, American electric plane manufacturer, Volta Volare. The time away from the spotlight seems to have done Spyker some good because the company is reportedly headed to the 2016 Geneva Motor Show with an electric sports car in tow.
Dutch news site Autovisie broke the story after discovering that Spyker was included among the list of exhibitors that will be in attendance at the auto show in Geneva. The site also noted the possibility that Spyder would introduce an electric sports car, something that would make some sense considering that its new business partner knows a thing or two about electric modes of transportation.
Adding more weight to this speculation is Spyker CEO Victor Muller going on record in the past of his intention to pursue vehicle electrification once the company's business is in stable condition. While there's still no official announcement on the kind of cars Spyker plans to being to the show, it makes sense to bring an electric sports car and showcase it on one of the biggest auto shows of the year. If there was ever a time to return to the auto scene with a bang, there's no better place to do it than the Geneva Motor Show.
This is great news for fans of Spyker, myself included. I admit that I was one of those people who essentially didn't think that the Dutch automaker was going to get out of the financial hole it was in. Even the introduction of Volta Volare as a business partner didn't do much to convince me that Spyker was going to return to the company that produced some stellar creations like the C8 Aileron. When the company decided to lay low and fix its business operations, all those promises CEO Victor Muller made in the past were going to be left unaccomplished. It wasn't the first time an automaker failed to live up to expectations, and Spyker appeared to be heading down that road.
So you can imagine my surprise when I learned that Spyker would be in attendance at the Geneva Motor Show. I still don't know enough details to be completely excited about what to expect, but I do know that a partnership with a company that's touting an "exciting new sustainable technology" would have some positive effects for the Dutch automaker.
The most likely scenario would be an electric sports car, but don't sleep on the possibility of Spyker bringing an updated version of the B6 Venator, a model that the company has previously shown in coupe and spyder configurations in the past. Maybe the company is going to hit two birds with one stone and present a hybrid version of the B6 Venator that retains its V-6 powertrain and adds a pair of electric motors on the rear wheels. These scenarios are definitely in play and the exciting part about this is that Spyker could introduce an entirely new model altogether.
Don't look now, but there's finally some long-overdue excitement coming out of Spyker, something we thought we'd never get to see anymore.

You should be outraged by the murders of 26 Nigerian girls
Last week, the bodies of 26 Nigerian girls, aged between 14 and 18, were found floating in the Mediterranean Sea. Autopsies of the bodies confirmed that they drowned while attempting the dangerous and all too often deadly crossing from Africa into Europe. Theirs is a story that's all too familiar: rather than being treated as murder at the hands of xenophobic, militaristic, nativist states, the deaths of migrants, Black people, and girls are all too often erased and ignored. Their names unknown, their lives cut short, these girls' deaths are a deliberate attempt by the state to deter migrants, by any means necessary.

'Fleabag' star to auction Golden Globes suit for fire relief

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is already heralded as a goddess for the 21st century and at Monday's Golden Globes she was elevated to saint after revealing she would auction her red carpet look to aid the bushfire crisis relief effort.
According to Variety, the Fleabag creator pledged to auction her suit, by Australian expatriate brand Ralph & Russo, with proceeds going to the fundraising effort, which has been heavily supported by celebrities including Celeste Barber and Nicole Kidman.
"It's a beautiful idea from the team, so I'm really excited to be a part of that," Waller-Bridge reportedly said backstage.
While the on-stage action was high on politics, the red carpet was high on drama, with exaggerated sleeves the standout trend of the night. Not that anyone should have been surprised, given the Globes are the first awards show of the year and in prime position for celebrities to cherry-pick the best of the spring-summer catwalks from Paris, New York and Milan.

And mine the runway they did. Cate Blanchett and Jodie Comer both chose London-based Mary Katrantzou, in very different takes on the trend; the former in a floaty, pleated gown the colour of vanilla custard featuring bondage-lite-inspired body adornment, while the Killing Eve star opted for a floor-length A-line style in stiff, emerald green satin.
As New Zealand-based designer Maggie Hewitt, of Maggie Marilyn, told Vogue recently: "There is a romanticism about a puff sleeve, and for me, it also invokes a sense of strength."
So it was fitting that some of the night's winners adopted the trend, including The Crown's Olivia Colman, whose crimson Emilia Wickstead dress, modified from the runway version, also took in one of the colour trends of the night.
But the risk of wearing a red dress on a red carpet is that, aside from being a tad too literal, someone else will have the same idea and a similar silhouette. Just ask Scarlett Johansson, in Vera Wang, and Nicole Kidman, who opted for Versace.
One star who possibly should have opted for Versace was Jennifer Lopez, whose green and gold Valentino dress had people thinking, mockingly, of Christmas, thanks largely to its giant bow.

Expectations around JLo's look were high given her appearance for Versace at Milan Fashion Week. Yet, it wasn't her night, at least not sartorially, leaving the best-dressed list open to strong contenders in Zoe Kravitz, in polkadot Saint Laurent, and Naomi Watts, in classic black Armani.
Another favourite was The Politician's Zoey Deutch in a buttercup Fendi jumpsuit with trumpet sleeves and a styled-to-perfection sapphire and diamond necklace, which drew comparisons to the jewel in the film Titanic.
While Deutch took Fendi to dazzling heights, the other major star dressed by the label, Gwyneth Paltrow, drew some of the sharpest criticism of the night for her sheer, rust-coloured tulle gown.
Other divisive outfits included Kerry Washington's Altuzarra jacket, which featured some daring body jewellery.
But the fashion faux pas of the night undoubtedly went to actor Jason Momoa, who was caught on camera during the ceremony wearing nothing but a black singlet, which he wore underneath his deep green tuxedo on the red carpet.

1. Why do you think the author chose to name the benevolent Maycomb attorney "Tonya"?
2. What explains Atticus's obscene rant against the New York Times?
3. What could the adult Dill be referring to when he mentions having visited an establishment called "Studio 54"?
4. Were you surprised by the revelation that Boo Radley went on to have a successful career as a motivational speaker?
5. Do you think Scout regrets losing her virginity to a young Elvis Presley?
6. The character Marty, who appears quite suddenly, bears a striking resemblance to a character from a popular 1985 film. Did you notice any other coincidences like this?
7. In a recent statement made through her attorney, the author has said that if a film adaptation is made, she'd like to see Kristen Stewart being cast in the role of Scout. Who would you cast in the other roles?
8. Though Dill and Scout were "engaged" in To Kill a Mockingbird, by the time Go Set a Watchman begins, it's Dill and Jem who are engaged. Was there any foreshadowing of this relationship in Mockingbird?
9. When Atticus tells Scout to "go set a watchman," why does she initially reach for a portable cassette player?
10. Why do you think the author chose to end the book with a suspenseful cliffhanger as Burris Ewell holds Scout at gunpoint? Do you think she'll choose to publish any further sequels?


A few weeks before the start of Tate Modern's ambitious extension works, the space which used to shelter the oil tanks of the former Bankside Power Station offered a scenic backdrop to the last in a series of specially commissioned artistic projects. On four consecutive days, to coincide with the Frieze art fair, this part of the building, normally inaccessible to the general public, hosted John Baldessari's film installation Five 1968 Films (New) from 2000 alongside his retrospective Pure Beauty (on display until January 10, 2010).
The five-screen projection by the artist, cast in the retrospective as one of the pioneers of conceptual art, takes as its starting point all the US-produced films shown in cinemas in Los Angeles on August 21, 1968, the day of the invasion of Czechoslovakia by armies of the Warsaw Pact, which stopped the Prague Spring in its tracks and thus effectively marked the beginning of the end of the Socialist utopia.
From a total of 130 films, Baldessari first chose four which he thought epitomised both the zeitgeist and Hollywood's recurring genre stereotypes: Planet of the Apes (science-fiction), Rosemary's Baby (horror), The Green Berets (war) and The Thomas Crown Affair (love story). He then split the images of each movie into four equal frames, from which he selected one to be projected as a full image on a large screen. The four resulting projections each show a different square—top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right, respectively—of the individual films. This is where the fifth screen, the dramatic climax of the installation at Tate, comes into the picture. Here, the four fragments are reunited in a split-screen projection, forming a kaleidoscopic condensation of the dominant (Western) film typology of that era, while the combined soundtrack of the four blockbusters furthermore underlines their formulaic structure.
Five 1968 Films (New) reflects Baldessari's lifelong interest in -typologies and ordering systems of the world, which he previously pursued in other media—notably the series of works on paper entitled Blasted Allegories, based on complex verbal-visual statistics informed by structuralist methodologies. More to the point, this particular installation stages a confrontation of utopias, in which the political reality of one (East), despite or because of its conspicuous absence, is reflected in the ideological vision of the other (West). Ironically, it was the latter which survived, proving Baldessari's implicit point that fantasy might well be stronger than reality.
The screening of this hard-edged conceptual demonstration in the cavernous, "auratic" halls of the oil tanks might have appeared like a bit of a gamble. As it turned out, its audacious staging by Tate Modern film curator Stuart Comer, assisted by Gil Leung, was a welcome addition to the scholarly but arguably somewhat conventional presentation of Baldessari's retrospective on the upper floor of the building.


Folks, let's just call it what it is.
We've all seen it over the past 12+ days but we've given it some pretty highfalutin terms: neighborly, friendly, prudent, helpful, kindness, outreach, responsibility, etc. And there are all those examples: a family chainsawing a neighbor's tree all the while knowing their roof was ruined by the storm just so everyone else would be able to have an open road through town; a block or residents deciding to have pot luck dinners where those with power cooked the food of those without so everyone would have company through the darkness and use food instead of letting it go bad; a man who went to drop off food to a senior citizen who lived by himself and realized he could not leave him in the dark and cold and drove him personally to a community shelter; a family who gave up precious fridge space to maintain life-saving medicine for another family who had lost power; a woman who had her own parent to care for but went out of her way to make sure her neighbors, who were elderly, could get something to eat and to help them stay warm; a family who gave their portable power battery so phones could be charged and lights could be on; people who said "If there's anything you need, just let me know" and really meant it.
All without fanfare, all without credit, all without asking for something in return. And these examples are just scratching the surface of what was done. To be sure there were those who used this time to reveal the less-than-graceful attributes of our better nature but there will always be those people. Just realize that for every one of those, there are more than twice that number who make us realize our humanity.
So, let's just call it what it is.
Sure, it isn't that end-of-the-movie dramatic display of love but it is love nonetheless. It added to who we are as a person, it revealed what we can be, and it put into action the words we learned at one point or another, in one form or another, 'love thy neighbor'.
So, with that I offer a speech which puts into better words what I feel about our town. When you hear it, just know that Roselle Park is our arrivals gate.


Coffee machines are one of the most confusing small appliances to shop for. There are so many different varieties to choose from – each one taking a different form of coffee and producing various flavorful results.

This Krups Vertuo model uses dedicated Nespresso Vertuoline pods to make Alto (414ml), Mug (230ml), Lungo (150ml) and Espresso (40ml) sized coffee and features automatic capsule blend recognition. Put simply; it applies barcode technology to detect which capsule you are using and blend your coffee seamlessly without you having to do any programming.
The unique Centrifusion™ technology brings together the ground coffee in the pod with hot water at a speed of 7000 rotations per minute, resulting in the perfect layer of foam to complement your chosen coffee type.
Operating the machine is simple; just pick one of the 20+ different pods available and close the lever. The appliance only takes 20-25 seconds to heat up. All used capsules get emptied into a 13-capacity container at the back too, so there is no need to worry about dripping boiling water all over your kitchen floor. They're also fully recyclable.
The drip tray and reservoir are removable and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, and there are descaling and cleaning programmes built into the machine. There is also a handy auto switch off feature after 9 minutes, and you can effortlessly check the remaining water levels.
It is heavy for its size compared to other models, so can't be relocated or stored as easily.
Pod machines are the dream solution for people who want the luxury of great tasting drinks without making a mess. The process is simple – one vacuum sealed pod per cup. In it goes, out it comes. Job done. Find pods to make all kinds of delicious drinks: not just espresso but cappuccino, hot chocolate, chai latte and many others.
This artisan Nespresso model from KitchenAid is a weighty countertop model that really feels like a quality purchase. It's quick, easy to load, comes with a tonne of useful features such as emptying and descaling modes, and has a high-shine finish that would complement any kitchen. However you like your coffee – strong as an ox or weak as kitten – you can use one of 6 settings to ensure that it comes out just right. This is convenient, tasty, hot coffee every time you make it, with no hassle. Sounds good to us.
Their most compact coffee machine to date, the Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 model uses INTELLIBREW™ technology to identify your chosen capsule and automatically adjusts the amount of water, brewing time and temperature accordingly, ensuring a faultless beverage.
A built-in LED user interface keeps you updated on the status of your appliance, letting you know when the water needs refilling, whether it is in Standby/Automatic/Manual mode or if it needs cleaning and descaling. There is an automatic programme available for the latter two problems.
Innovative heat up technology means there is virtually no waiting time until your machine is ready to go. With over 40 different Tassimo T-Discs available on the market there is something for all the family, including cappuccino, latte macchiato, tea and hot chocolate.
The automatic milk frother will do all the muscle work for you – all you need to do is keep it topped up. The compact size means it will fit almost anywhere in your kitchen and is perfect for those short on space.
This is a great modest machine if you need an introduction into the world of capsule coffee makers. It is somewhat noisy but takes so little time to make the hot drinks that this is hardly a problem. The water tank is on the small side compared to other brands so will need refilling regularly.
This Dolce Gusto model allows you to personalise your hot drinks according to your individual preferences with its semi-automatic Play & Select function.
Just insert your pod, tailor the amount of water according to preferred length, select the hot or cold joystick position and press the power button. The pod lids feature a recommended water amount for guidance and the machine will automatically stop when done. Energy saving, it will switch off after 5 minutes of being left idle.
The Thermoblock heating system ensures your appliance is ready in moments, and beverages made in seconds. Used coffee grinds remain in the capsule for easy, mess-free removal.
The cup stand is adjustable to suit your required cup size and is dishwasher safe for easy maintenance. Different varieties of pods are available from Americano to Chai Tea Latte and they are widely available in supermarkets, meaning you don't have to plan and order them too far in advance.
De'Longhi is a well-respected brand, and as expected this appliance is stylish, sleek and sturdy.
The Jolie from Lavazza offers you the perfect mix of getting you ready for the day ahead while really adding a touch of colour and style to your kitchen.
It produces single espressos at the touch of a button using Lavazza pods, at the perfect strength with the perfect amount of crema. A 600ml water tank should give you a fair few uses before you have to top it up which is perfect if you always seem to be rushing in the mornings.
An auto-off function has you covered if you also are one to rush out the door without turning things off before you go, and all of the removable parts (drip tray, water tank etc.) are dishwasher safe which will save you some time when you get home too.
If you're worried about the space which a coffee machine will take up on your kitchen worktops, then this is the perfect model for you. It can be tucked into small spaces and doesn't use up an entire bench, but is still perfectly accessible.
As a plus, it is available in blue, red, white and gunmetal grey – great for those of you out there who like to show off your style in the form of your kitchen appliances.
Colourful, compact and the coffee is quality; the fact it is under £100 is the icing on the cake.
SMEG produces the ultimate 50's retro-style appliances, and this espresso machine does not disappoint.
Its Thermoblock technology keeps the hot water at the optimum temperature to preserve flavour, and there's an adjustable milk frother to give your drinks the perfect creamy finish. Some machines struggle to foam alternative milk varieties such as coconut, almond or soya due to their more dilute and thinner consistency, but the Smeg Espresso coffee machine handles it expertly.
It is compact despite its efficiency so will not look out of place or take up much room in any kitchen. It is also available in cream, black, pastel blue or red; just the thing if you want something colourful as opposed to the general stainless-steel/black designs.
All parts are easy to take apart and reassemble so cleaning is of insignificant effort. It also prompts you when you need to use the built-in descale setting for easy maintenance. With its Cappuccino System, steam, air and milk are whipped together to produce the perfect creamy froth for your cappuccinos.
The instructions included with the product are also the best out of all our selection, detailing how to make your first espresso to editing the settings and everything in-between. So, whether you are a seasoned coffee creator or want to make the jump from instant cup to a machine, using this machine is not dependent on skill levels. There's a flow stop function so you can select your ideal coffee length, too.
This pump espresso coffee machine from De'Longhi is sleek and minimalistic in appearance, however with an adjustable steam frother and an impressive heat up time of just 30 seconds, this appliance is perfect for those rushed mornings when waiting isn't an option.
We love that this machine is suitable for both coffee pods and grounds, making it incredibly versatile and giving you the option to create your own special brews. However, our favourite feature of this machine is undoubtedly the cup warmer, which means your coffee is being made in a warm mug, and so it will stay hotter for longer.
With 5 drink programmes (Classic, Rich, Over Ice, Café Forte and Con Latte), this NINJA model provides you with all of the varieties of coffee you will ever need.
Adjust the size and strength of your desired drink for a full tailor-made experience. Its Auto-IQ technology does all the hard work beyond this, drawing the exact amount of water for the size and brew selected.
Use the handy recipe book included to get the full use out of the 5 drinks programmes and provide inspiration, whether you want something intense and full-bodied or over ice once the weather gets hotter.
The delay timer will ensure the appliance starts operating when you need it to and the warming plate will let you wait for a while until you're ready for a second cup. You can also decide on a setting to make either a mugful, full carafe, half carafe or travel mug amount of coffee, making it totally versatile for your needs.
There's also a separate milk micro-frothing setting and mug included, which is terrific for the price. Cutting down on mess is effortless with the drip stop lever when you're using the jug.
It does produce a lot of steam as a by-product, however, so is best placed quite openly and not under any kitchen units.
The appeal of filter-coffee machines is that they are delightfully easy to use and you can make a big pot of coffee all at once, which saves lots of time if you are making coffee for several people – great for work. You can get jugs in all different volumes to suit your need.
There is no need to pre-boil water, you simply pour it into the appliance and it slowly drips through the paper filter filled with grounds to create a big full jug of hot caffeinated loveliness. The jug sits on a hot plate, which is what keeps it warm.
The Melitta Optima Filter-Coffee Machine is one of the top filter options we have found. It's a modern take on the classic filter-coffee machine design, including useful features such as a timer, water level display and detachable filter unit to make brewing your coffee even easier.
The joy of using a timer is that you can set the machine to start brewing for when you wake up, so the smell wafts deliciously through the house. All you need is water, grounds and the right size filter papers.
While it is slightly more expensive than a bog standard filter-coffee machine, you get what you pay for – a sleek design that creates lovely hot coffee with no mess and no restriction to any one brand of coffee, as is the case with some of the pods. Bonus – grounds are great for the garden.
Compatible with both beans and ground coffee, your perfect cup can be crafted with the AromaFresh by choosing one of three strength intensity settings. Whether you go for something with a bit of a kick or just want a relaxing warm drink, this machine uses an integrated grounder for a smooth texture.
As a bonus, choose which grinding level you prefer, from fine to coarse, ensuring in a perfect tailor-made cup of coffee. For those who find themselves to be a bit bleary-eyed in the morning, there is an adjustable timer setting – one less thing to worry about while you're rushing to get ready. The keep-warm function (choose from 20, 40 or 60 minutes) will keep the thermal jug perfectly hot until you're all set, too.
Either use your dishwasher to keep the glass carafe and filter clean or use the handy brush included for hand washing purposes. Thanks to the LED display, you can see when the machine needs descaling and there's a convenient indicator of water hardness and calcification.
The transparent water tank and level indicator let you easily see when the water needs topping up and the bean dispenser holds up to 180g of product, which is plenty if you have a full house. It also looks incredibly professional, which is good if you're conscious of the style of your appliances.
The stainless-steel and glass finish will fit perfectly into any kitchen. The only downside is that it will use all the water in the tank no matter the weight of coffee beans, so you have to bear this in mind when filling both and double-check the water indicator level.
There is no milk function, so you have to add your own after.
No true coffee lover can risk going without when travelling, camping or setting off on a picnic. This revolutionary portable item uses pre-prepared hot water and air pressure to make your perfect cup of coffee on-the-go, using a vacuum/syringe technique.
Simply add a heap of ground coffee, pour over the hot water, steep the coffee for 10-50 seconds depending on preferred intensity and then push down on the plunger to force the liquid through the filter and fill your cup.
It is super easy to clean by just rinsing under water but is also dishwasher safe if you'd like to give it a thorough clean when you get home.
Despite its primary function as a simple yet effective transportable appliance, the Aeropress makes quality coffee that rivals more technical piece of equipment. Ready in just 30 seconds, the coffee produced is fresh, smooth and rich.
It isn't just loved by those who wish to carry it around; it's commonly used by many at home or in the office as it is tastier and just as quick as making instant coffee. The use of air pressure results in an incredibly intense flavour without bitterness and acidity.
It is perhaps not ideal for those with weak wrists due to the method of production, but the taste of the coffee produced doesn't seem to vary depending on the amount of compression which is a bonus.
Size is an important factor to consider when choosing your coffee-machine, if you plan on storing it away some of the time. Unless it's going to be on the kitchen worktop – in which case it can be as large as you want (within reason) – make sure you opt for a coffee-machine that is small and light enough to fit in one of your kitchen cupboards.
Some people like their coffee ready quickly, with minimal effort. Others like to put time and effort into crafting the perfect cup. If convenience is your priority, consider opting for a pod machine that does a lot of the hard work for you while still offering a lot of variety.
As a general rule: the higher the wattage, the faster your coffee will heat up. If you're going to be making batches in large quantities, then a high wattage machine – perhaps a filter-coffee machine with a large jug – is going to be the right option for you. If it's just you and a friend, you can afford to go lower with a machine that will just make the occasional espresso or latte.
Unless you only drink black coffee– espressos or americanos – then you may want to consider looking for a model that either has a steam arm or an integrated milk frothing function. This will give you the ability to make all kinds of drinks that use milk, such as cappuccinos and lattes.
Bar pressure is what's responsible for the flavour of your drink. If the bar pressure isn't powerful enough, you won't get as strong a flavour. To achieve a great-tasting coffee with a smooth cream on the surface, aim to buy a model with a bar pressure of between 9-15 bars.
The top models tend to use thermoblock heating systems. The reason is that they heat water only to 90° – the optimal temperature for great coffee – rather than boiling point as you would for a cup of tea. This helps to avoid the horrible burnt taste that results if you heat the water too much. When buying your coffee machine, look for one with a thermoblock heating system.
Unless you're buying a filter model, auto shutoff is a good function to look out for. It shuts down your coffee machine automatically after use if you haven't touched it for a certain amount of time, which both saves energy and prevents coffee burning. Auto shutoff can be found on most models but not all, so try and find one with this function if you can.


Rolling coils is one of the hardest thing to do in metal forming. This is where the R-M20 comes in and makes easy work of the job. The R-M20 from Baileigh Industrial is the perfect Ring and Angle Roll Bender for doing small diameter material or coils because of its tight compact roll formation. Lateral guides are also adjustable, making it easy to bend just about any width coil imaginable. Rolling operation on the R-M20 is done via a set of foot pedals for forward and reverse roll direction. An emergency stop is also integrated for safety. An easy to read digital display, shows the top roll position to make repeatability a snap.
Like all Baileigh Industrial roll benders the R-M20 is built to last and includes a rugged steel frame and hardened ground and polished high strength steel shafts. The R-M20's head can be removed from the included stand to make this roll bender portable. This would be especially important if going to a job site or just to have extra room in the shop. Another nice feature of the R-M20 is that it is available in both 110V and 220V three phase, allowing anyone form someone working out of their garage to a big industrial fabricating shop.

If you're like me, you want to do things properly and devote a proper amount of time to things, which includes time to do meditation.
I like to do 30 mins of meditation daily but there is the odd occasion where I can't put that much time aside. I think of doing it for a few minutes on those crazy days, then stop myself because I feel haphazard about the whole thing and it doesn't get done.
Whether you're a regular meditator or you're new to it, meditation is worth doing for however many minutes you've got, wherever you are.
You might only be able to do a couple minutes a day. You might manage to do one minute on the hour, every hour. You might aim to do 30 mins a day but some days feel too impossible for that, but right now, you've got 10 mins or 3 mins for it… but you don't do it because it feels like that short length of time is silly or won't make any difference anyway.
You don't need to have all your special meditating things all the time before you can let yourself do meditation. You don't need to stick to a certain amount of time before you can let yourself do it. The main thing is that you do it, for however long, wherever you are, with whatever you've got.
Meditation will help you with everything, with every person, with every situation: hear I Am in your mind, breathe slowly and deeply and focus on your heart (with your crystal). It will improve every area of your life: your work, relationship, creativity, the order in your house, eating habits, exercise, driving and much more. Doing any amount of meditation is always worth it and will always pay off.

Brighton girls hoops falls in defensive battle with Marquette
Anthony Odoardi
PETOSKEY — The Brighton girls basketball team opened its season with wins in its first two games. Yet it was in Saturday's loss to Marquette that Bulldogs coach Paul Ash said he felt most encouraged.
"We finally played Brighton defense," Ash said.
The Bulldogs lost to Marquette by only one point, 39-38, in Petoskey, but Ash liked what he saw out of his overall team defense, which he believed was lacking in his team's first two games.
Led by Dana Schemanske, who received high praise from her coach for defending Marquette's best player that is heading to Northern Michigan next year, that area of the Bulldogs' game seemed to be much improved Saturday.
"We were really pleased with that defensive effort," Ash said. "The last two games, we didn't play well and we won. Tonight, we felt like we really did a good job. … We were not happy with our first two games, the way we played defensively. (The way we played Saturday) will help us win games."
Offensively, Brighton was led by freshman forward Sophie Dziekan, who contributed a team-high 12 points and five rebounds. Emily Dunn scored nine for the Bulldogs while Schemanske posted eight and Julianna Pietila had seven.
Brighton nearly pulled out the victory, too, as a big defensive play at the end of the game almost afforded the Bulldogs the opportunity to score the go-ahead basket. The Dogs got a steal on a Marquette inbound pass, but with just a few seconds left, there wasn't enough time to race down the court and get a clean look at the game-winner.
Brighton gets a week off before returning to action on Dec. 13.
Howell takes fourth at Fenton Relays, Hartland eighth
FENTON — The Highlanders opened their season with an impressive showing at the Fenton Relays, coming in fourth with 268 points behind Novi (396), Lake Orion (344) and Fenton (316).
"After graduating a large senior class of over a dozen swimmers last season, Howell has reloaded with a large group of freshmen and sophomores," Howell coach Zach Kasprzak said.
"We had some great swims from our new freshman, including Ethan Charles and Hunter Gubeno. Our veteran swimmers had a tremendous start as well, with Tyler Caudy standing out as having a fantastic day to start the season."
Gubeno was part of Howell's second-place 400-yard medley relay group that clocked a 3:57.60, and the 200-yard backstroke team that took this with a 1:47.93.
Caudy was on that latter team as well, while also competing in the 800-yard freestyle relay (which Howell took third in - 7:57.03), the second-place 200-yard medley relay team (1:48.54) and the fourth-place 8x50 relay squad (3:21.96).
Hartland's best finishes were in the 200- and 400-yard freestyle relays as well at the 8x50 relay, with the Eagles earning the silver in each of those races.
The foursome of Cory Nelligan, Angus Reed, Michael Harris and Teddy Keranen were second-fastest in the 200 free relay with a time of 1:33.02. Nelligan and Harris were on the 400 team also, which clocked a 3:33.31.
Reed and Kernanen helped the 8x50 group post a 3:19.07.
Jackson United 8, Pinckney 1
JACKSON — The Pirates' lone goal came courtesy of Valen LeVasseur, who in the third period took it to the net unassisted and found an opening.
Unfortunately, however, the one score wouldn't be enough as Pinckney fell to 1-5 on the season. The Pirates' next game is on Dec. 14 at home against KLAA West foe Milford.

Q: How to use GWTBootstrap with Eclipse I downloaded the Twitter Bootstrap for GWT zip from https://github.com/gwtbootstrap/gwt-bootstrap. I am new to GWT and I haven't yet found proper documentation or a tutorial on how to use the libraries with Eclipse.

A: As it's created as a maven project, you need to use m2eclipse plugin. You can start with cloning that outside eclipse and then you can import it into eclipse as an existing maven project. m2eclipse plugin will help you in doing that. For exact steps or tutorial, you can just google.

A: If you are using maven build, configure m2eclipse in eclipse and go through Getting Started With GWT Bootstrap
The steps include :
STEP 1-A : add gwt-bootstrap maven dependency in pom.xml
 <!-- gwt-bootstrap dependencies start -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.gwtbootstrap</groupId>
<artifactId>gwt-bootstrap</artifactId>
<version>2.1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<!-- gwt-bootstrap dependencies end -->

STEP 1-B : add gwt-bootstrap maven repository in pom.xml
 <repository>
 <id>sonatype</id>
 <url>http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
 <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
 <releases><enabled>false</enabled></releases>
 </repository>

STEP 2 : Configuring module - inherit the GWT-Bootstrap widget library
<!--  inherit the GWT-Bootstrap widget library -->
<inherits name="com.github.gwtbootstrap.Bootstrap"/>
<!--  end of inherit the GWT-Bootstrap widget library -->

STEP 3 : using in UiBinder
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder"
xmlns:g="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui"
xmlns:w="urn:import:com.zcode.t.client.ui.widget"
xmlns:c="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.cellview.client"
xmlns:gwt="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.cellview.client"
xmlns:b="urn:import:com.github.gwtbootstrap.client.ui"
>
<g:HTMLPanel>
<b:Button ui:field="saveBtn"/>
 </g:HTMLPanel>
</ui:UiBinder>

A: If you don't want to use maven, you can follow these steps:

*

*Download a version of library from here.

*Add the .jar file to your build path of Eclipse project

*Add to your Module.gwt.xml file:
<inherits name ="com.github.gwtbootstrap.Bootstrap"/>
Now you can use gwtbootstrap with only-Java code or UIBinder
