The goal of this project was to test build a multi-function forge and crucible furnace using the plentiful availability of 20lb propane bottles. The secondary goal was to produce a set of DIY plans detailing how to build the device. Overall this was a project was a failure. The furnace worked but did not meet expectations and the construction was deemed too complicated for a DIY project. But there was a lot of good ideas so after many years I decided to present it here.
Functionally as a crucible furnace it works perfectly. As a forge it needed a molded refractory floor insert (another mold) so that long work could be heated through the door vent hole. Conversion between the two could be done instantly and not even require cooling the furnace.
As a DIY project the molds are probably too complicated for the average builder, requiring a band saw and lathe OR a LOT of picky labor. Making the molds is something that one might do to make many furnaces in production or for a group build but not for a one off.
The burner port form was turned on a lathe to be 1.050" diameter (the same size as a 3/4" pipe). In use the cylindrical part is wrapped with a piece of paper to create a slip fit clearance for the burner.
An alternate method of construction is to use a short length of pipe and have the nozzle end of the form fit into the end of the pipe.
The laminated wood block is being sawed with the table angled at 5° to make the interior form. When laminating blocks like this the wood grain should all go the same direction. Otherwise when the wood shrinks or expands it creates steps in the form. An alternative method to using a large band saw is cut each piece separately and glue up the assembly. This however requires a lot of finishing to get accurate dimensions and a clean taper.
The interior forms are made in multiple pieces so that they can be used and removed in stages. The burner port form is screwed to the base form to hold it tightly in place. After placing the base refractory cement and it sets the screw is removed then the base form. The burner form is extracted from the interior (a carefully planned move).
Originally the plywood disk on the base form was one piece. But when we cut open the propane bottle we found there is a 1/2" flare sticking into the tank at the body weld joint. To get the form past this we had to remove (it was glued on) and cut it into 3 pieces. One piece was glued back on and the others attached with screws so they could be installed and removed after passing the weld flange.
The 20lb Propane tank was cut up as shown above. The bottom (or back side) had to be cut out in order to place the base refractory cement. After the cement had cured the bottom was welded back on for a cleaner appearance.
Left, tabs have been welded to the cover to help hold the refractory and the inside of the cover has been coated with ITC-213 to reduce rust and help the refractory bind to the metal. Middle, a piece of 1" Kaowool Cerablanket has been fitted to the cover to provide some insulation. Right, a plastic cup has been used to form the vent hole and the castable refractory placed.
Left, the base castable placed. Middle, the castable being placed around the burner port. right, the base section after removing the forms. I used wax as a parting agent and this did not work well. Much of the surface of the bottom tore off with the form. Note the ledge to support the cylindrical shell when cast.
Left, The base form with the cement stuck to it. This is not good technique and could have ruined the project. A thin coating of grease such as petroleum jelly would have worked better than the wax I used.
Right, The body shell cement in place. The form is wrapped with paper to reduce sticking but the form still required a great deal of force to remove. An 8 pound HD slide hammer with a 3/8" lag bolt was screwed into the form to remove it. Several blows were required to break it free.
The cylindrical part of the furnace has 1" of Kaowool placed against the metal shell to reduce radiant heat. This makes the forge/furnace more comfortable to work near and makes it more efficient. But it makes the castable hard to place.
For one-off production of cast forge liners I would use disposable paper and carboard forms that could be burned out. Forms of this sort can be made using a variety of paper materials glued together. Methods such as used in making paper sculptures with overlaping torn and glued strips of paper or putty like paper-mache' will work. Wheat paste or corn starch glue is recomended as it burns out cleanly. Reinforced cores of cardboard can be used for heavy sections but nothing as heavy as thick walled hard board tubes often recommended.
Forms for nozzles can be temporary (paper) or permanent (wood, plastic, metal). Refractory nozzels can be formed in place or seperately as inserts from a higher temperature rated material. Permanent forms can be covered with a thin layer of paper that will burn out later. For durability this can be covered with a very high temperature refractory such as ITC-100HT and then the moldable refractory placed after.
The Freon Bottle Melting Furnace above was much easier to build. I've built three of these and given away two. It has a Kaowool Cerablanket liner with a half of a standard firebrick in the bottom for a floor. The entire interior and cover fill is coated with ITC-100HT. The brick has Kaowool under it to insulate and hold it in place. The burner screws into a pipe coupling with a stainless flare on the opposite side (interior). This is held in place by an angle bracket screwed to the bottle. Being able to remove the long burner is a convienience when moving or storing. The lid takes advantage of the handles originally fitted to the bottle.
This little furnace works very well, melting up to 5 pounds of bronze in about 5 minutes or less once warmed up. After building several of these I realized that the basic design is for heavy refractory where handling the cover is a significant task much less moving the entire furnace. My future melting furnaces will have a lift off body (including the lid) taking advantage of the light weight refractory. This will reduce pouring steps (time) as the small crucible can be lifted directly from the furnace with pouring tongs and not need to be transfered from lifting tongs to pouring. When pouring rapidly cooling metal every bit of time that can be saved is important.
We have now moved on to building light weight forges using folded refractory fiber panels supported by expanded metal in a light angle iron frame. These forges take advantage of the light weight and high efficiency of modern refractories and methods of construction. While they require a little more time to build the results are much more professional looking than scrap bottle and pipe forges.

A: This may seem kind of obvious, but make sure you've run:
npm install

to populate the node_modules directory in your app's root directory.  In particular you need:
node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js

A: I recently ran into the same problem by following tutorial on PluralSight and using Plunker. I solved the issue by using this script
<script src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.3.0-beta.5/angular.js" data-semver="1.3.0-beta.5" data-require="angular.js@*"></script>

instead of this:
<script src="https://code.angularjs.org/2.0.0-snapshot/angular2.js" data-require="angular.js@*" data-semver="2.0.0"></script>

A: In case of you are using some Seed of AngularJS.
This issues can be if you will remove or not include something like this in index.html
  <!-- shims:js -->
  <!-- endinject -->

Sometimes developers who is not familiar with AngularJS 2 and particular seed project are thinking that they remove extra comments from HTML and even doesn't realize that it is injection.

Generalised autoregressive processes
Placeholder, for discussing the Taylor expansion equivalent for an SDE.
Let \(f\) denote a smooth function. Then, using Itô's lemma, we may construct a local approximation by \[ f\left(X_{t}\right)=f\left(X_{0}\right)+\int_{s=0}^{t} L^{0} f\left(X_{s}\right) d s+\int_{s=0}^{t} L^{1} f\left(X_{s}\right) d B_{s} \] where the operators \(L^{0}\) and \(L^{1}\) are defined by \[ L^{0}=a(x) \frac{\partial}{\partial x}+\frac{1}{2} b(x)^{2} \frac{\partial^{2}}{\partial x^{2}} \quad \text { and } \quad L^{1}=b(x) \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \] We may notionally repeat this procedure arbitrarily many times. Each repetition produces a higher order of Itô-Taylor expansion. In practice this seems to get ugly really fast in any problem that you would actually like to use it in.
We may also generalise it to other noises than Brownian noise, including, say, arbitrary Lévy noises.
In practice, we tend to prefer other methods of solving stochastic differential equations than starting from this guy. But I will keep him around for reference

MLAs challenged to become social workers for the day as report reveals lack of understanding of role
Service delivery, management and ways of working
Health based social work
Abuse, neglect, bullying and safeguarding
NIASW is challenging the country's MLAs to spend a day on the job so they can see the challenges facing care services for themselves.
NIASW say a lack of understanding about the social work role in adult care services is affecting the quality of services being offered as it launches a "blueprint" for improvement at Stormont today.
The 'Blueprint for Change' has been developed from a survey of social workers from all programmes of care within adult services across statutory and voluntary sectors in Northern Ireland.
The report outlines key challenges identified by social work staff working in adult services settings, including promoting the social work role, tackling excessive paperwork and freeing up social workers to spend more time with service users.
The three most pressing issues identified overall were:
recording onto client notes (76%)
responding to unplanned crisis (76%)
completing forms to access services (66%)
In addition, 80% of respondents are working in excess of their contracted hours just to keep on top of their work demands. 66% are working 20 additional unpaid hours each month.
NIASW Manager Carolyn Ewart said: "Lack of resources means that social workers are increasingly meeting the needs of the system, not the needs of the person.
"I don't think many people really understand the job or how social workers make such a difference to the lives of our most vulnerable residents. We are asking MLAs to spend just a day walking in our shoes so they can see the pressures for themselves".
This lack of understanding can also extend to colleagues in other public services. One social worker said: "Sometimes there is a lack of clarity about what makes the social work role different from other professionals as everyone seems to be doing much the same thing. There can be a lack of understanding by other professionals about the social work role - they think we are all experts in issues such as social security benefits".
NIASW is writing to all MLAs to invite them to spend a day in front line services to increase their understanding. Robin Swann MLA has already spent the day with a social worker.
The number of adults being referred to social services following concerns about their safety has increased dramatically as has demand on social work staff who take the lead in many of these cases.
One social worker told NIASW there were "Not enough social workers to carry out the number of assessments coming in, people are being left at risk". Another said, "It feels like the role of social work is not valued as we are perceived as 'form fillers".
Many social workers surveyed cited paperwork and duplication of assessment records as "totally unmanageable".
The NIASW report highlights a typical example of a social worker receiving a referral from a GP about a 78 year old woman with a history of angina and limited mobility living alone and struggling to cope.
This single referral prompts 13 hours 15 minutes spent on documentation and bureaucracy, with just four and a half hours spent with the service user.

How to get a queen bee tattoo?
A queen bee tattoos its sting on your arm and is seen in this photograph taken on April 22, 2016, in Perth, Australia.
Queen bees are the largest pollinators in Australia and the only species that can be found in the country on the continent.
Photo: Supplied The queen bee's sting is used to remove the bee larvae from the pollinating structures of plants.
Queen bee larvae have a venomous bite which can cause excruciating pain and inflammation in the affected areas.
The queen has a queen's nest which contains a colony of eggs and larvae.
The colony will feed the queen's larvae and larvae will develop into adult bees.
The adult bees have to find the queen, and when they do they will sting her to remove her eggs and larva.
The venom can cause serious injury if not treated properly.
There is also the possibility that the sting will trigger allergic reactions and cause anaphylaxis, or a severe allergic reaction.
However, the best advice for beekeeping involves being careful and staying away from the sting.
"You can still get a great queen bee, but you are unlikely to get that much venom," Dr Dannen said.
"The venom isn't really a concern, but the pain is."
Dr Dennan recommends using a bee glue and rubbing the sting in with a cloth.
A sprayer is also an option to remove any residual sting.
She also recommends using beeswax as a treatment, but it is more expensive.
"They are much less expensive than traditional bee wax, but if you are in a situation where you have no other options, then you should probably use beeswam wax," Dr Jorgensen said.
If you want to get rid of the sting, Dr Dannon recommends using either a comb or a small paintbrush to rub the sting on the bee and then dabbing it with a cotton swab.
"There is a lot of research showing that beeswamp wax is better than the standard bee wax and if you want it you can do a lot worse than that," she said.
Dr Jannen recommends using bee glue to keep the sting from coming back up again.
"I think it's probably a good idea to use beesweet," Dr O'Brien said.

Public Land Proxy – How Hunters are Helping
Ben O'Brien
From the archives: CARNIVORE Magazine Issue 1
HUNTERS HAVE MOVED EN MASSE TO HELP PUBLIC LANDS IN AMERICA IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE
Remi Warren is a public lands advocate. He's not a politician or lobbyist, and he wouldn't fit well in most suit-and-tie legislative hearings. He's more at home in the mountains as a user. It's been that way since he was old enough to hike, climb, and glass. Growing up in the harsh high desert of Nevada, Warren spent countless hours exploring the millions of acres of public access in his home state. After high school he jumped head first into guiding and outfitting, opening up Montana Outwest Outfitters at the age of 22. Located in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, Warren specializes in elk and deer hunts on public land.
The vast tracks of western land that he calls home have shaped him, and he's used his experiences to help introduce others to the benefits of the lands we share. In short, Warren is invested in our public lands, and those lands have invested in him. Last February, Warren had a chance to pay back what he's been afforded, to help keep Nevada lands in the hands of folks like him.
It started in a previous session of congress on March 19, 2015, when Nevada Republican Congressman Mark Amodei introduced a measure known as the Honor the Nevada Enabling of 1864 Act. The legislation wasn't the first of its kind in Nevada, but it was definitely the most aggressive. The bill moved "to direct the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior to convey certain federal lands to the state of Nevada …." The simple term used for this premise is "land transfer."
The bill included a massive transfer of Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service property that would have, in its first phase, given control of 7.2 million acres parallel to Interstate 80, the Union Pacific Railroad, and the Humboldt River back to the state. In its second phase, Amodei's Bill would champion a much more substantial transfer that would eliminate much of the land managed by the federal government in Nevada. This would exclude wilderness, wildlife refuges, national parks, and tribal land.
Amodei and his fellow Republicans listed their reasoning in an eight-point argument summarizing why, in their minds, land transfer was the only way forward. The local economy, they said, is severely constrained in size and diversity by the paucity of state land and privately controlled land.
The federal government controls over 80 percent of all of the land within the state of Nevada, a greater percentage than any other state, and Nevada could generate significant net revenue for
the benefit of its lands and people if it were afforded the opportunity to manage an expanded state-controlled land portfolio.
Supporters of the Bill claim that the federal government does a poor job of oversight on these lands, and that the ranchers, recreationalists, anglers, and hunters would benefit from local leadership
calling the shots.
Warren thinks otherwise — and he's not the only one. A broad opposition to the land transfer movement had already formed before he made his plan to attend a hearing of the Nevada Wildlife Commission in Carson City on February 9. But the Commission, which oversees the Nevada Department of Wildlife, needed to hear that opposition loud and clear from the people their decisions would affect most tangibly.
So Warren rented a bus, filled it full of like-minded advocates, and drove from Reno to Carson City. His plan was to lay out the opposition platform, summed up by the fact that land transfers can only lead to the sale and privatization of these lands and, eventually, the end of public access. States can't afford the cost of managing large tracts, placing them in danger.
"I just wanted to get across to them the value of these lands," he said. "The value to me and to future generations. I wanted them to see us all together."
In total, 15 people spoke to the commission that evening; only one was in favor of the transfer. Most of the opponents were backcountry hunters.
The plan worked. The commission voted unanimously to summarize Warren and his fellow hunters' concerns in a letter to Amodei. It was a powerful step in the fight to kill the bill.
"In my opinion we should look at preserving these high value habitats and movement corridors as public lands," said Commissioner Jeremy Drew, one of the members that signed off on the letter.
The letter detailed the concerns voiced at the meeting:
"There was nearly unanimous opposition to the transfer of most 'Phase 1' lands … The primary reasons for concern with such a transfer of Phase 1 lands include, but are not limited to: The state of Nevada does not have adequate resources (funding, staff, or programming) to administer large tracts of transfer lands; it is unclear as to how funding for the actual transfer (short-term) and management (long-term) of such lands would be secured; and, the use of lands for 'long-term maximization of net revenue,' including potential sale to private parties, was a concept that was very clearly opposed."
The letter might as well have been a template for land transfer oppositions in the recent and distant past. The stage was set for a fight that would decide the fate of millions of acres of land.
These kinds of battles go way back. Back to the conception of America's public lands. Teddy Roosevelt found staunch opposition to his fight to save our Nation's wildlife and wild places at the turn of the century. At the height of market hunting and commercialization, Roosevelt took over the presidency with a mission to save our lands from industrialization and to promote a naturalist's approach to land use across the West.
During his time in office, Roosevelt was able to conserve and protect about 230 million acres of land for public use and help create The North American Model of Wildlife Management, setting in stone that wildlife resources are a public trust, markets for game are eliminated, allocation of wildlife is by law, and science is the proper tool to discharge wildlife policy. Concern about the administration of public resources also led the Roosevelt administration to appoint a Public Lands Commission to study and report on public lands issues in 1903.
Who opposed Roosevelt? Industrialists, robber barons, and those who stood to pro t from the privatization of those lands. The early 20th century was marked by profiteers like John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, other titans of industry, and railroad magnates. In many ways this was the antithesis of a free market; rather, crony capitalism reigned supreme.
Throughout the next century our public lands continued to be a divisive issue among politicians and businessmen alike, but Roosevelt and his conservation contemporaries' values have held mostly true.
Fast-forward to earlier this year and the cousin to Amodei's the Honor the Nevada Enabling of 1864 Act, House Resolution 621. The Bill was sponsored by now-infamous Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz, calling for the disposal of 3.3 million acres of federal land in 10 western states. The concept was a carbon copy of Amodei's Nevada efforts.
Chaffetz, a hardline republican, had hopes to find public support for his land transfer bill. He was met with the fervor of a movement that he never expected. In the days that followed the bill's introduction, Outside Magazine, Men's Journal, The Guardian, and other media outlets panned it, driving huge opposition. HR 621 become a rallying cry for hunters and anglers. The congressman's Instagram and Facebook pages were full of comments opposing his bill, and the outpouring of anger seemed to swell.
He was pushed into a corner and had to respond. Only a week after the HR 621 made its appearance Chaffetz posted on Instagram: "I'm a proud gun owner, hunter, and love our public lands. The bill would have disposed of small parcels of lands President Clinton identified as serving no public purpose, but groups I support and care about fear it sends the wrong message … I hear you and HR 621 dies tomorrow."
The hashtag "keepitpublic" boomed.
A NEW MOVEMENT
Just over 13 years ago a group of dedicated hunters and anglers gathered together around a camp re. Mike Beagle, Dick Hentze, Tim Lillebo, James Montieth, Tony Heckard, Michelle Halle, and Brian Maguire saw a problem in this country that needed to be fixed. Habitat loss, pollution of waters, and dwindling public access to wild places was a scary proposition for the group. They decided to act.
In March of 2004, a group dubbed Backcountry Hunters & Anglers was born. The mission: Be the voice for public lands, wildlife, and waters. It was a pretty simple cause to get behind, more important than any single local issue.
The members called back to public land pioneers like Roosevelt and Leopold, aiming their message at hunters and anglers who grew up knowing the freedom that wild places provide. Most only needed to be made aware of the threats facing their way of life to jump in and help.
"When I was a kid I just thought everyone in the world had what we had," Warren said. "But I slowly found out how special this land was."
Today the organization is booming, growing by thousands of members a month and enjoying a growing influence on The Hill. With over 35 state chapters, they got the attention of avid users like Warren.
"I'm a member of BHA because I care about the future of public access," he said. "They are the future of public lands, and I will do all that I can to help this cause."
The group's #keepitpublic has become a staple of the movement. Celebrities and activists don "Public Land Owner" shirts on social media, turning the opposition into a trending topic, injecting relevance and energy.
Driving the machine is CEO Land Tawney, a fifth-generation Montanan who was tapped to lead the organization and has turned up the dial on the organizations relevance. He's appeared on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations show, on CNN with Joe Rogan talking about the issues, and on national TV with several interviews regarding Rep. Ryan Zinke's confirmation as Secretary of the Interior.
"We are starting to feel this groundswell," he told me. "We might not be a big group, but we are vocal, and we are relentless."
Thousands of members flooded into Missoula, Montana, with Tawney this past April for the 2017 Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Rendezvous. They drank beer, ate wild game, and celebrated their local, regional, and national efforts to shine a light on public lands. Twenty-year-old college kids joined with 65-year-old ranchers, van-living hipsters stood beside hard-core DIY elk hunters, and politicians ate locally sourced wild game with leaders of industry. The core of the movement was represented there, a breed of activists multiplying in every corner of the nation.
This reawakening has brought together animal-loving mountain bikers, hikers, and campers with even the most hard-core hunters and anglers. It's inspired rallies at state capitals in Montana, Idaho, and Utah. The Montana rally, coauthored by the Montana Wilderness Association and BHA, saw 1,000-plus gather in Helena. Last year, Colorado officially coined the third Saturday in May America's first-ever "Public Lands Day" to bring together all that hope to push back on the idea that our lands are for sale. The Outdoor Retailer trade show pulled its influence and dollars out of Utah in opposition to the state's public land politics. Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard, a titanic and unifying industry voice, penned an open letter helping to push that idea forward. The list goes on.
The movement has shot down just about every attempt from this small band of politicians hoping to reverse the course of history. The simple values of the #keepitpublic campaign have unified in a way that few thought possible.
BATTLES WON
On May 16, only three months after Warren sat in front of the Nevada Wildlife Commission, Rep. Amodei changed his message during an interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal editorial board.
"Transferring millions of acres of public lands … is not something I think the majority of people think is a good idea," he said.
Amodei is right. According to Colorado College's 2017 State of the Rockies poll, 56 percent of people in seven western states oppose transferring national lands to state ownership. Pair public sentiment with the strong opinion of the Wildlife Commission, and it seemed there was no path forward.
With that, the Honor the Nevada Enabling of 1864 Act was dead. It would not return to congress.
In the long history of America's public land fight, hunters and anglers marked this as another win. The integrity of these lands, though, will only stand as long as like-minded users like Warren speak out as advocates. Just as the idea of shared resources defines our Nation, so does the premise of a people's republic. Warren's bus trip may seem small in the scope of this issue, but
its message was strong enough to be heard in halls of Congress. The people would not consent in this case.
With the killing of Amodei and Chaffetz's bills and the rise of organizations like Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the underpinnings of a movement have taken hold.

"This production is incredibly exciting for us for many reasons," says Starvox Entertainment Founder & CEO Corey Ross. "Bringing a highly dramatic, edgy, and really darkly funny new piece of theatre about one of the most legendary bands in music history to life is of course exciting – and I think in Toronto we have such a vibrant music scene and fans that there is going to be a great audience for it. But additionally, one of many strengths Richard brings to the show is that he has an amazing eye for talent. I think we have assembled an outstanding cast of authentic and compelling performers who are going to amplify the tension and drama in this great play."
Unlike many stage shows about rock bands to date, FOUR CHORDS AND A GUN is not a musical. However, each night after the show is over, the cast (who all play instruments) will return to the stage for a jam session of classic Ramones tunes.
"When I first read this play, two thoughts instantly struck me," director Richard Ouzounian adds. "First, what an exciting, dramatic story to tell! And second, what an astonishing showcase for six talented young Toronto performers. Every music fan knows who the Ramones and Phil Spector were, but it's not as well known that they spent a few weeks of hell together in a recording studio, with Spector messing around with their heads and eventually pulling out a.45 revolver to seal the deal. I also love the fact that it isn't a "jukebox musical," but a serious play that celebrates the Ramones music in a concert after the tale was told. And best of all, I saw a way to work with people like Justin Goodhand, Cyrus Lane, Paolo Santalucia, James Smith, Vanessa Smythe and Ron Pederson, whose work I admire tremendously."
Speaking to the impetus to write the play Bowie says "I always loved the fact that there were so many conflicting stories about how all the stuff went down with Phil Spector. There are versions where he's drawing a gun on them constantly. There's a version where he just puts the gun on the mixing board to threaten them. There's a version where he keeps them hostage in his house until late the following day. I love that this incredibly recent history is as disputed as the Crusades. But first and foremost I wanted it to work as a piece of theatre, so what's on stage here is based in fact with my imagination filling in blanks to hopefully create the most satisfying theatrical experience.
He adds, "As for the people who do know the story of the Ramones, here is a way you've never seen it told."
Backstage, Ouzounian is joined by an award-winning team including Nicholas Blais as production and lighting designer, Ming Wong as costume designer, and Sharon Ryman as wig designer.
FOUR CHORDS AND A GUN will be on stage in Toronto at The Fleck Theatre (207 Queens Quay W.) from April 2 to April 28, 2019. (Opening night: April 10). Tickets are available from $39.95 to $124.95 and can be purchased at 4chordsplay.com. For more information visit 4chordsplay.com

Q: Cannot get the border-bottom width of an element using pure JavaScript I have the following simple code:

var element = document.getElementById('image_1');
style = window.getComputedStyle(element);
borderBottom = style.getPropertyValue('border-bottom');
console.log(borderBottom);
#image_1 {
  position: absolute;
  top: 340px;
  border-bottom: 1px;
}

hello

Here is my JsFiddle.
Any idea?

A: If you fix your css it works fine. You declare the bottom width but not the other required values for the border property so the border doesn't actually exist in your example.
Check this out:
#image_1 {
   position: absolute;
   top: 340px;
   border:1px solid black;
}

JsFiddle

A: Your css is invalid. border-bottom should be in the format width style color.
If you change your css to border-bottom: 1px solid black; you can then get the width and the styling will be visible as well.

Pepper IPO first out of the block; non-deal roadshow under way
Updated Jan 20, 2020 – 9.42pm, first published at 3.36pm
KKR-backed Pepper Group will front prospective listed equities investors in Asia this week, ahead of a planned $1 billion sharemarket float.
As first reported by Street Talk, Citi's head of syndicate Robert Jahrling kicked off non-deal roadshow meetings with fund managers in Hong Kong on Monday, marking the first sign that initial public offering preparations are ramping up.

It is understood the roadshow will move to North America later this week and comes after management, led by Mario Rehayem, met with fund managers in Sydney and Melbourne in early December.
Pepper is expected to use the investor education meetings to introduce the company to potential shareholders, as it mulls a sharemarket float of its Australian business.
Pepper is one of the country's largest non-bank financial lenders and has assets under management in excess of $10 billion. It is expected to be worth close to $1 billion on a market capitalisation basis, sources said.
It is understood a decision will be made about whether to pursue an ASX listing in the first half of the calendar year.
Sydney firm Reunion Capital is independent adviser to KKR on its mooted float, as this column revealed last year. Citi and Macquarie Capital are joint lead managers.
Citi was house adviser to Pepper at the time of its 2017 takeover by the buyout giant. The deal was led by KKR's credit team, KKR Credit Advisors.
The mooted float comes after a torrid 12 months for the IPO market, with 2019 finishing up as the weakest since 2009.
Prospective listings that ended up on the IPO scrapheap included the $3.2 billion Latitude Financial offering, which had been tipped as the year's largest float, while Bain Capital's Retail Zoo was also ditched.
Pepper last traded on the ASX with a $680 million market capitalisation. Only 15 per cent of its assets under management were in Australia when Pepper was delisted, according to an independent expert report at the time by Grant Samuel, and 45 per cent of its net income was in Australia and New Zealand in the year to December 2016.

Back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat with acupuncture. The Denver Acupuncture back pain treatment addresses all of the following back pain conditions. Acute back pain responds well to acupuncture. This is the type of pain you get from moving a large couch, lifting the refrigerator or forgetting to lift with your legs. Typically one of the muscles in the low back spasms, causing you to double over, walk like you're ninety years old, and stay home from work for a few days. Acupuncture speeds up the healing process, eases the pain immediately, and helps prevent a recurrence in the future.
Chronic back pain is the type of pain you've had for more than six months. You often wake up very sore and stiff, with the pain easing slightly with a hot shower and movement (walking). Chronic back pain can be a mild, nagging discomfort (2 out of 10 on a pain scale), but also can be severe (9 out of 10 on a pain scale). Causes can be from nerve impingement, spinal misalignment, chronic muscles spasms, or poor blood circulation, to name a few. In most cases acupuncture can resolve this pain by addressing the root issue responsible for the chronic condition. And very often, as treatment proceeds, the patient will feel the pain begin to "unwind" layer by layer, until the pain is completely gone.
We resolve back pain in the low back, mid and upper back, neck and shoulders on the back of the body, and along the sides of the back. We also successfully treat back pain from tightness in the small muscles between the ribs (intercostals). This is a pain that gets worse when you take deep breaths. As always, treatments are relaxing and painless. Patients often fall asleep during treatment. You don't have to live with back pain. Try the Denver Acupuncture Back Pain Treatment today!
I suffered from low back pain for years and tried many different remedies. When I came to Acupuncture Associates, they really listened to understand my issues.
