// Responsive Margin & Padding Shortcuts for Twitter Bootstrap 3.0
// ---------------------------------------------------------------
// This is an addition to Twitter Bootstrap that allows additional margin and padding shortcuts
// for enhanced layout control purposes. It should be included after the bootstrap.less
// import statement or precompiled as you see fit. It differs from bootstrap standards in
// that for any given screen size it predetermines the margin/padding size. All you have to
// do is specify the size you want xs,sm,md,lg, or xl. The exception is for items that you
// want to be centered using auto left/right margins. This can be device responsive by
// specifying mc-xs, mc-sm, mc-md, or mc-lg depending on when you want that behavior.

Better local require() paths for Node.js

Problem

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.
