Although experienced long-distance movers are professionals at what they do, as the customer, there are some things that you can do to simplify their responsibilities while enhancing your overall protection. When moving to another city or state, you want everything to go as smoothly and stress-free as possible, which is possible by taking a few appropriate measures.
Early Organization and Planning– At least two months out, put a plan together. For instance, take time to go through your belongings, donating, recycling, and tossing out what you no longer need or want. By doing so, you help reduce the workload of the long-distance movers. Not only will the team work more efficiently and get items loaded quicker, but also transport a lighter load. Ultimately, moving day will go smoother and you will spend less.
Quality Boxes and Containers– If you plan to pack your own possessions, make sure that you use the highest quality boxes and containers possible. As a result, there is no risk of the bottoms falling out, which could damage your goods and slow down the moving process.
Labeling System– Using a labeling system will improve coordination. With that, the long-distance movers can quickly place boxes in their assigned rooms after reaching your new home or office.
Packing– When packing yourself, never mix items from different rooms in the same box; this will make unpacking more manageable and also prevent things from getting misplaced or lost.
Photographs– Especially when it comes to high-dollar items, photographs are essential. You want to take photos of jewelry, artwork, family heirlooms, and so on. For electronics, capture information on the back of each item, including serial number, brand, model, etc. That way, if something accidentally gets damaged, you have immediate access to information for filing a claim.
A few small decisions can have a significant impact on streamlining the long-distance movers' work while, at the same, giving you greater peace of mind.


We have a physician who is going to a personal care home and we are having problems with the codes. It's not a nursing home or rest home. I thought we should use codes 99324-99337 or someone had thought maybe we should be using 99341-99350..Anyone bill for personal care homes now and what codes do you use? Also what are you using for the place of service?
The CPT codes 99341 through 99350, Home Services codes, are used to report E/M services furnished to a patient residing in his or her own private residence (e.g., private home, apartment, town home) and not residing in any type of congregate/shared facility living arrangement including assisted living facilities and group homes. The Home Services codes apply only to the specific 2-digit POS 12 (Home). Home Services codes may not be used for billing E/M services provided in settings other than in the private residence of an individual as described above.
I thought htis might help.
CPT codes 99321 through 99333 are used to report Evaluation and Management services provided to residents in a domiciliary, rest home (e.g., boarding home), or custodial care facility which provides room, board, and other personal assistance services, usually on a long-term basis. These facilities are often referred to as adult living facilities or assisted living facilities with POS 33 (Custodial Care Facility) or POS 55 (Residential Substance Abuse Facility).

Taped 5/5 in Albany, N.Y.
The Superstars intro is heavily revamped, to include 3.5 MB, Paige as Divas champion, and more.
Jimmy Uso throws his shirt at McIntrye, who makes a show of blowing his nose in it. Jimmy and McIntyre start and McIntyre is frustrated early on. Neither Mahal nor McIntrye can get much traction. They get dumped from the ring, the Usos make to go over the ropes, but 3MB moves out of the way so the Usos stay in the ring. Hornswoggle freaks out and we go to break.
McIntyre is controlling Jimmy Uso. Heel kick out of nowhere lets Jimmy tag out. Jey with hot tag action on McIntyre. Mahal joins in and gets dumped. Hornswoggle runs from a superkick, and rams his head into Slater's crotch by mistake. McIntyre eats a superkick, Jimmy Uso with the Samoan Splash for the win.
WINNERS: The Usos in 9:00. Wow, do the tag team champs look weak for taking a full nine minutes on the dot to put away 3MB.
Very good video package on Paige.
Paige starts off hot against Fox. Stomps in the corner for a two count, then a headbutt. Fox tries to fight into the ring from the apron, but takes knee lifts to the face for her efforts. Fox sent ringside, and she wants up the ramp to bail. It's a ruse, though, and Paige gets suckered into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Fox with some pretty nasty offense.
The crowd rallies Paige but Fox keeps her down. Paige with a schoolgirl for one. Paige with a series of clotheslines but eats a back elbow. Paige yanks Fox off the ropes, then sets up the scorpion crosslock for the win.
WINNER: Paige in 3:30. Decent match with a fast pace. It was a good showcase for Paige's signature offense. Lots of pro-Paige signs in the audience and legit support from the crowd show that Paige is getting over nicely.

The minute you become a Calvinist you begin to spot heresy everywhere, because it is easy to find believers Doing Something, even yourself. This pernicious bug is so common it pops up not only in explicit thought but even in the way phrases are turned. The Christian side of the internet features many long, complicated arguments over whether such and such a person is a works person or not. It's all quite nuanced. There are Christians who spend their lives at it. There are categories within categories.
I recommend, to wipe out heresy for all time, that all human action be expressed in writing by means of the passive voice.

Science, Technology and Medicine in Modern History
A History of Lung Cancer
The Recalcitrant Disease
Authors: Timmermann, C.
Hardcover $109.99
This title is currently reprinting. You can pre-order your copy now.
The first comprehensive history of lung cancer from around 1800 to the present day; a story of doctors and patients, hopes and fears, expectations and frustrations. Where most histories of medicine focus on progress, Timmermann asks what happens when medical progress does not seem to make much difference.
Carsten Timmermann is a Lecturer at the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine, University of Manchester, UK. He is the editor (with Elizabeth Toon) of Cancer Patients, Cancer Pathways: Historical and Sociological Perspectives (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and (with Julie Anderson) of Devices and Designs: Medical Technologies in Historical Perspective (Palgrave Macmillan, 2006).
(Regarding this and Timmermann's previous book, with Elizabeth Toon, Cancer Patients, Cancer Pathways: Historical and Social Perspectives , 2012) 'These books, with their origins in the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine at the University of Manchester, present an excellent insight into what it has been to have cancer. Collectively, they present three theses of great value to historians of medicine. The first of these is that no single way of writing the history of cancer can ever be adequate. Cancer is transformative in ways that are anything but simple, meaning that a profusion of different narratives and techniques are required to approach anything like understanding. Second, the field of cancer medicine challenges the historian of medicine because it has often been without progress, a recurring if not universal trope among historians. The third thesis is this: not all cancers are equal. In its broadest sense, this observation is trivial. Yet these books excel at fleshing out this bit of general knowledge by illustrating substantive differences between different cancers in different contexts over the twentieth century.' - Brendan Clarke, University College London, UK

Where Are They Now - Gary Ware
Part 2 - Nate Minnoy
Part 3 - Korey Spates
Part 4 - Marcus White
Part 5 - Chris Lutz
So far, the "Where Are They Now Series" has focused mostly on newcomers to the Purdue basketball program. In fact, Matt Kiefer is the only player out of the top 5 scorers on the 2005-06 basketball team with any prior Purdue experience. Adding inexperience to the turmoil created by all these newcomers was one of the main reasons the Boilermakers experienced their worst year in decades. Matt Kiefer may have been the senior everyone remembers on the team, however there was another big man that celebrated senior night with Matt. Gary Ware is the subject of the sixth installment of GoBoilers.net's "Where Are They Now – Worst Year Ever" series.
Gary Ware graduated from Detroit Finney High School in 2002 and spent two years at Dodge City Junior College. During his second year at Dodge City, Gary averaged 12.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and nearly 2 blocks a game while being rated the 7th best junior college power forward in the country. Just prior to that year, Gary committed to Purdue and joined the 2004-05 team with a frontcourt of Carl Landry and Matt Kiefer.
Gary played in 27 games for Purdue in his junior year, averaging a little over 4 points per game. As a senior on the 05-06 team, Ware averaged 7.3 points per game, but really picked up his play in the second half of the Big Ten season. In seven of the last ten games of the year, Ware scored in double digits and averaged over 20 points a game in his last 3 games as a student athlete – a great way to go out!
Ware averaged around 17 minutes per game over his two year career at Purdue, yet that didn't stop someone from making a 17 minute video of Gary Ware's Purdue highlights. It may cover every single basket Gary Ware scored in his 2-year Purdue career, so I definitely suggest you check out all 17 minutes of it…
After becoming only the second player in our series to graduate from Purdue, Gary Ware capitalized on his strong finish as a Boilermaker to earn a contract overseas in The Netherlands at Woon! Aris Leeuwarden. Gary averaged 12.7 points and 8.4 rebounds in his first year overseas. Unlike most of the other Purdue players who ended up overseas, Ware really took a liking to the international game.
In the 2007-08 season, Gary averaged 10.6 points and 9.1 rebounds for InterCollege Etha Engomis in Cyprus. Ware then took his talents to Palatinus Beach where he put up the best numbers of his career with 16.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per game for Hungary's Debreceni Vadkakasok. He then went to Cherno More of the Balkan League in 2009-2010 where he averaged 11.7 ppg.
Ware in Austria
While Ware may not have ended up at four different colleges like his teammates Korey Spates and Nate Minnoy, Gary decided to make up for it by switching teams (and countries) nearly every year of his professional career. 2010-11 brought Gary to Austria to play for the Farstenfeld Panthers. That year, he was a starter in the Bundesliga's All-Star game alongside Northern Iowa's NCAA hero, Ali Farokhmanesh.
This past season, Gary played his second season for Farstenfeld where he averaged 16 points and 7.2 rebounds in 33 games. Farstenfeld must have a pretty decent marketing budget, because they came up with a fantastic Gary Ware highlight video. The 2-minute masterpiece includes Gary making 2 consecutive free throws (Ware averaged well under 60% on free throws at Purdue), so it is a must watch…
Gary just returned to the US this month for his summer break and seems destined to play for yet another team in the 2012-13 season. However, you didn't think we'd write one of these things without at least a little controversy, did you? One of his teammates in Austria (Anthony Shavies from Missouri State) recently wrote a blog post detailing the last month of the season and wrote extensively about Ware:
Quick note: I just got a call from my teammate JRob (Jeff Robinson), he's still in Furstenfeld until tomorrow morning. JRob told me that the team has informed another one of our teammates, Gary Ware, that they are keeping his last check because he did not inform them that he did not have a driving license when they issued him a team vehicle in August. It's really not funny, but I'm having a good chuckle at this. I'm sure Gary (who played under Cuonzo Martin at Purdue University) is steaming mad, I'll list the reasons below:
The team booked his flight for May 7th, two weeks after our season ended. Typically, the flights home are booked for departure 3-4 days after the last game.
Gary paid out of his own pocket to have his flight moved up to May 1st.
Gary missed his May 1st flight because the team had not paid him yet and he decided he wasn't going to leave until he was paid.
Team informs him on May 3rd (after he had already missed his flight) he wasn't going to be paid.
OK, should Gary have been driving without a license? No. However, the team found out in February that Gary did not have a license. And they immediately confiscated the team issued car. So why is he being punished twice for the same mistake? And how does this give them the right to not pay him? I have about as much a clue as you do right now. Another one of my teammates was fined 300€ (about $400) for not sharing his team car with other players on the team. The thing about that is they never told him he was supposed to share his car.
Upon reading the rest of the article, it appears that NOBODY has gotten their last paycheck and Gary could be out of luck. Still, it might be a good idea for Gary to get a license to drive in Europe considering he's played over there for six years!
Gary's had a successful post-college career and we hope he continues to represent Purdue well on the professional circuit. We were unable to find a facebook, twitter, or linkedin page for Ware, so if anyone can find one, make sure to post it in the comments. We'd love to tell him we're rooting for him!
Of the six players featured so far, the top player coming out of high school (Nate Minnoy) is the only one to have not played professional basketball. Although, would you have guessed that Chris Lutz and Gary Ware are the only two of those six still playing?
Stay tuned to GoBoilers.net all summer long as we continue our "Where Are They Now" series on the 2005-2006 men's basketball team!

Q: Add value using prototype in function instance I have one constructor function in my code. I have create instance of that constructor. In newly created instance I want to add value or function by using prototype method. But I getting error while doing this. Here is my code fiddle
function a(){
this.d=9
}
a.prototype.one=1;
a.prototype.two=2;

var j= new a();
j.prototype.three=3;

console.log(j)

A: It should be a prototype of the constructor function, not the object this function produces:
a.prototype.three = 3;

You can't access object's prototype with the prototype key, because prototype reference is not exposed like this. You could do it using __proto__ property though, but this is deprecated. If you need to get a prototype of the object you can make use of Object.getPrototypeOf method:
Object.getPrototypeOf(j) === a.prototype; // true

It's a little confusing here because the word "prototype" sort of means two things. Function prototype is an object that is used when new object is constructed when the function is used like a constructor. Object prototype is a reference to the object which stores inherited methods.

A: J's  prototype is undefined, because you cant access it directly, so you cant directly set the property three to the prototype of j.
This is why you are able to add properties to a's prorotype but not to j's prototype, you can try
j.three=3;

Or a.prototype.three = 3;

10th Circuit First Amendment Right to Record Police
The First Amendment protects the public's right to use electronic devices to record on-duty police officers, EFF argued in an amicus brief filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. The case, Frasier v. Evans, was brought by Levi Frasier against five Denver police officers for interfering with his First Amendment right to record them while arresting another man.
Additionally, the Colorado Legislature passed two statutes. The first created a statutory right for civilians to record police officers (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 16-3-311). The second created a civil cause of action against police officers who interfere with an individual's lawful attempt to record an incident involving a police officer, or who destroy, damage, or seize a recording or recording device (Colo. Rev. Stat. § 13-21-128).
Six other federal appellate jurisdictions have upheld a First Amendment right to record on-duty police officers: the First, Third, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits. EFF wrote amicus briefs in the Third Circuit case and in a similar case in the Northern District of Texas that focused on the First Amendment right to record emergency medical personnel and other first responders.

Explore and learn with Lewis & Clark
The three story, 12,000 square foot, Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center sits on a scenic 79 acre wooded bluff overlooking the Missouri River. An unobstructed view of the river gives today's audience a sense for what greeted the captains 200 years ago.
Education through time-honored methods of observation and discovery is the central mission of this interactive center and adjoining hiking trails. The flora and fauna (178 new plants and 122 new animals) and scientific discoveries recorded by the Lewis & Clark Expedition (1804-1806) are the focus of the Center. This theme is exciting and unique because no other museum or interpretive center in the nation, existing or planned, focuses on the captains' amazing scientific discoveries. People of all ages will learn through interactive participation and you-are-there experiences. The exhibits and displays were designed with the expert advice of the University of Nebraska's distinguished professor, Dr. Gary Moulton, the nation's definitive scholar on the Lewis & Clark Journals, who served as the Center's first In-Resident Scholar.
Explore the Exhibits
Earth Lodge
Lewis & Clark recorded 122 animals new to science in their journals. You can view each of them in one form or another in the Visitor's Center.
The Great Hall is on the loft level. Mounts of some of the large animals observed by Lewis and Clark are placed in action, reminiscent of the way mountain goats, pronghorn, elk and other animals were seen by the Corps of Discovery on the plains and bluffs along the river.
Get up close and personal with a full sized buffalo, a black bear and her cub, a bobcat, a wolf, a bull elk and be surprised, as Lewis was, by a grizzly bear that growls at visitors from behind some trees. You can also see a Rocky Mountain goat, a mule deer and a beaver.
On the outdoor trails deer, turkeys, raccoons and other living creatures can be spotted depending on the time of day, the time of the year and the good fortune of the hiker.
Climb aboard a full sized replica of the keelboat, which is 55' long and 8' wide, used by the explorers over 200 years ago. Standing on the boat helps transport the visitor's imagination to what the explorers experienced over 200 years ago on their remarkable journey up the great Missouri River. View the cabin where the captains slept and kept their journals.
A 32' long cutaway model of the white pirogue, inside the center, is equipped with oars allowing visitors to feel the strength it took to row this wooden boat loaded with cargo upstream.
An interactive touch-screen exhibit allows explorers of all ages to experience the sights, sounds and view migratory territories of each species of the birds recorded by Lewis & Clark on their 30 month journey.
On the outdoor trails, view many varieties of birds along the flyway between Canada and South America.
Explore a full-sized replica of a Plains Indian home. Feel the comfort of the earth surrounding you which is cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Imagine living in a big room with your extended family of three or four generations. Compare what they had relative to what we have for homes today.
Visit the exhibit of the various types of fish the explorers encountered in the nearly 4000 miles of rivers and streams they traveled on from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean. Read about the fish and the methods used by Native American tribes along their route to catch them. The display was designed by Native American High School students in Idaho and Montana.
View a replica of Meriwether Lewis' medicine chest/first aid kit equipped with the medicines and medical instruments supplied by the nation's leading physicians in the United States in 1802. Compare them to the more successful treatments, used by the friendly Native Americans, concocted from local plants and animals. Practice self-diagnosis for common ailments in an interactive display.
All 178 of the plants discovered by Lewis & Clark, and recorded for the first time for science, are displayed in some manner in the Center. Work with the plant press and see where the plant was first discovered and learn about its natural habitat. Discover local plants and trees like the Osage Orange (the first new plant recorded by the explorers) along the trails surrounding the Center.
Nationally known PBS documentary film-maker Ken Burns provided the film and other assistance for the Center's video. This attraction alone makes the site a "must" along the Lewis & Clark trail for its educational and entertainment value. The 32 minute film is shown in the Center's theatre and provides a sense of the sights and sounds of what it would have been like to travel with the brave explorers 200 years ago.

Should I spend it or should I save it?
From the earliest point in our lives as financial beings, we are faced with spend / save dilemmas. For instance, should I buy that new shirt I've just seen while shopping online, or should I continue saving for a new iPhone?
This quandary persists in different forms throughout our business lives too. Should you spend money on a new ute for the business or save that money in case of tougher times ahead?
On the face of it, these decisions look like a straight contest between a careful, sensible approach and a carefree, even reckless, approach. But things are not always what they seem: sometimes spending now is the best long-term investment.
So what is the best option for your money? The answer, of course, depends on a number of things, including your personal, financial and business goals – which are a great place to start planning.
Setting short- and long-term financial goals is an important discipline for any business person and a great way to help your business thrive.
then you can set short- term goals against these big objectives. If you don't have clarity, then now is the time to start thinking.
Remember that you don't have to be a millionaire by 25 (let's be honest, that bus has passed most of us by already). Even the most successful business people (think Warren Buffett) tell us that you must be patient, consistent and modest in your steps. It's the get rich quick schemes that DON'T work.
So plan your future with achievable small steps, not a giant leap forward.
Once you have a big goal in mind, write it down along with three short-term financial steps you're going to take in the next 12 months to help you achieve it. Repeat this process for one or two more long-term financial goals if you like. Check back in at the end of the year and see how you did. Refine and repeat until you get there!
For example, thinking about that Coromandel dream, putting $400 into Kiwisaver every week will net you an extra $340,000 on retirement if you start at age 40. (Think how much more you could have if you start even younger.) Saving this modest amount each week over the next 12 months could be one of your short-term goals towards your long-term objective.
Find ways to balance your spending between the business and other parts of your life.
For example, dinner out with your partner is an investment in your happiness and emotional well-being. You could, of course, put that money into your saving account towards a new business asset, which will hopefully generate more money in the future. It's your call. Finding your balance and learning to own your financial decisions can be very empowering.
You can of course plan your personal happiness and life goals with your business goals – and budget a part of your income for personal things. All work and savings makes Jack an unhappy boy! You could, for example, split profit from the year into short-term personal spending and longer-term investing and / or saving.
Information is power and power, in this arena, means money.
Whatever your goals and financial plans, shop around and hunt out a good deal. There's a wealth of information on things like financial investments, shares and rental properties out there, and plenty of advice available from financial planners, your parents or siblings.
Importantly, look for reputable information sources that are not driven by selling you something specific as they are probably biased. Find different sources that agree with each other and with your experience and base your financial decisions on hard data as much as possible.
Take investment funds, for instance. On Kiwisaver funds alone there can be a wide range of fees payable. For example, the ANZ default Kiwisaver fund currently charges 2.5% fees and the AMP Nikko AM Balanced fund charges 6.1%. If you're interested in your own fund, you can find a comparison calculator here.
So What difference does rate make?
Lets's assume that you need $10,000 for your business.
Even small steps towards the financial future you want will make a marked difference in the long term – and the earlier you start, the easier it is.
Also, sometimes a financial crisis is the ideal time to review the direction you're taking. So if your credit card bill has just arrived and you're feeling the pressure…now is the time to plan for change.
At Beany, we're not financial advisers, but we can help you with mapping your goals, making decisions and planning related actions around this important part of your life. For more information on how to make financial decisions, our eBook, Cash Light in a Rich World, is an in-depth look at optimising and using cash flow and potential investment decisions in your business life.

The native token of Celer Network, CELR, has dropped after Binance and Gate.io listed it on Monday. However, it's still up by 190% compared to the token sale price on Binance Launchpad, a token sale platform, a week ago.
The coin is down by more than 21% in the past 24 hours and is trading at USD 0.019416 (UTC 02:19 PM), compared to USD 0.0067 investors paid per coin during the public sale.
Binance, which at the time of writing is responsible for almost 97% of CELR trading volume, opened trading of CELR against Binance Coin (BNB), Bitcoin (BTC), and Tether (USDT) on March 25th at UTC 4:00 AM, at the coin's all-time high of USD 0.025777, which is also almost four times higher than its token sale price.
After the drop, despite the price is still higher than a week ago, some members of the crypto community have started to criticize Binance.
"We'll see how the market responds to events like this though, and how much it trusts Binance in the future. Do let me know how you think CZ [Binance CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao] has made Celer Network profitable for anyone except himself," as Reddit user u/throwawayLouisa puts it.
"Let's call a spade a spade, the @binance Launchpad program is an absolute disaster. It's not only bad for people that are looking to invest, but it's terrible for the company that is a part of this program. Best of luck to @CelerNetwork this is not good look," wrote Twitter user @Brad2pointO.
Last week, Celer Network, a developer of layer-2 blockchain scaling system, raised around USD 4 million in less than 18 minutes during the sale on Binance Launchpad. Moreover, during the sale investors paid half the price of what other investors paid in its private token sale a year ago.
It was the third token sale on Binance Launchpad. After the initial hype, both previously launched tokens – BTT and FET – decreased in value, also.
Meanwhile, Binance has announced recently that "the next Binance Launchpad token launch will be conducted as a lottery, instead of a first-come-first-served system." The exchange promised to introduce the next token launch project within the next two weeks.


"This is a gap," Cui said from the stage of the Plastics Recycling Conference and Trade Show, held last week in National Harbor, Md. The gap can be bridged by connecting recycling operators in both countries, so they can share knowledge and resources.
Closed Loop Partners launched its China Programs department last year following China's ban on imports of many categories of recyclables.

Q: Restart a systemd daemon, for continuous integration, without root? We have a nodejs based server that is configured to be launched by systemd and on our dev server new versions are deployed via continuous integration. The issue we have is that a non-root user can not restart the application using the systemctl command, so we are curious how we should approach the problem?
The command we tried:
sudo systemctl start my-nodejs-server

And the contents of the systemd script:
[Unit]
Description=NodeJS Based Server

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]
User=myserver-user
Group=myserver-userh
Environment=ENV=production NODE_ENV=production
WorkingDirectory=/home/myserver-user/my-nodejs-server/
#ExecStart=/home/myserver-user/my-nodejs-server/scripts/appctl.sh restart
ExecStart=/usr/bin/node lib
Restart=on-failure

I have also tried the following command, as suggested:
systemctl --user start my-nodejs-server

but I get the following:
Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

Any ideas?
We are running on Ubuntu 16.

A: For my needs a 'system unit file' is needed, rather than a 'user unit file' (see here), since the latter lives in the user's home directory and is only for programs that are meant to run for the duration of a login session.
The solution I ultimately went with is described in the following answer:

How could we allow non-root users to control a system.d service?

Essentially you give the user sudo privileges for running specific commands. Here it is:
myserver-user ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl start my-nodejs-server
myserver-user ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl stop my-nodejs-server
myserver-user ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl restart my-nodejs-server

Note that if you want to apply this privilege to a group, then use a percentage symbol in front of the identifier so:
%myserver-group ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl start my-nodejs-server
%myserver-group ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl stop my-nodejs-server
%myserver-group ALL= NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl restart my-nodejs-server

Also, based on the referenced answer, I'll probably change the deployment user to be deployment, or something similar, to avoid the deployment user being the same one that is running the application.

Q: Having trouble applying a border and border radius on a dbc.Table I am attempting to:
create a border around the outside of the table
make the border have a radius
When I apply styling by stating either all 4 border sides individually (like below), the lines between each row also become solid orange. If I comment 1 side out, the lines between rows are not impacted. I don't want them changed.
Also, I am able to make the corners have a radius, but I cannot figure out how to make the border follow this radius. In my example, the border I add has square corners, but you can still faintly see the table has a radius.
Any help is appreciated!

F57 Convertible Reviews
MotoringFile Review: 2022 MINI Cooper S Convertible
by Gabriel Bridger 3 months ago Oct 26, 21 Leave a reply
It's been a minute since I've been in a manual Cooper S. Years of 306 hp JCW Clubman, Countryman and the GP have warped me a bit. Yes I've been spending some time recently in a Oxford Cooper (review forthcoming) but there's been a manual Cooper S sized whole in the MF garage for awhile.
Enter the 2021 MINI Cooper S Convertible (manual). We recently had a week with a loaded Zesty yellow F57 and fell right back into loving the combination of immediacy, engagement and lack of size.
Or MINI Cooper S Convertible test car was moderately loaded with an MSRP of $41,750 and only lacking adaptive cruise plus a few other luxuries. One thing it did have was the brightest color in recent MINI history – Zesty Yellow. We have to admit living with the color for a week changed our opinions. On paper and in photos it looks great. In person it looks great. Living with it and being seen in it is a bit different. You are noticed, everywhere.
Inside our test car came with the wonderful MINI Yours black lounge leather seats and the buttery MINI Yours steering wheel. It's a classic combination and one that works well in a car with a loud exterior color.
Interior and Infotainment
MINI's revised infotainment system is a bit of a mixed bag however. The change from an app based layout on the Home Screen (albeit a circular one) to one based on widgets is bizarre to us. I get the concept of widgets which can show some truncated data without opening the app, but the layout makes it more difficult to navigate and creates a steeper learning curve. Once in each app things get better as MINI has followed the typical app interface interaction patterns they've developed for years. But why they decided to create an entirely new interface with no equivalent in our digital lives is beyond us. It's simply put a step backwards. Luckily wireless CarPlay is here and in full widescreen has it has been for the past few years.
Exterior Revisions
The exterior styling has been revised rather successfully in our eyes with simpler lines and less cheap plastic. While we like the gloss plastic that has replaced much of the textured stuff, it will be interesting to see how it looks after a few years.
As part of the refresh MINI has eliminated the fog lights and instead integrated what they call bad weather lights inside the LED headlight module. While we couldn't test their effectiveness in fog it's a great concept of it works as it cleans up the front and allows (for the first time) JCW models to have additional lights.
Driving The 2021 MINI Cooper S Convertible
It is fantastic to be back in a manual MINI. Those were our first thoughts as we engaged first and drove off. There's something so immediately rewarding to rowing your own gears and interacting with a car in this way. While we are looking forward to more electric MINIs, this experience will be seriously missed.
Having driven a number of very high performance cars recently, I couldn't help but judge the MINI's manual with a slightly different perspective. It's not perfect by any means but the action of the clutch and the transmission suit the character of the car. It's got a positive yet rubbery feel to it with a very forgivable clutch. While it may not be the manual perfection you might find in a Porsche GT3, it's exceptionally engineered for everything from daily driving to track duty.
But things aren't perfect. Like the R54 and R57 convertibles before it, the revised F57 has noticeable cowl shake over rough roads. As much as MINI has tried to reinforce the structure there's simply no way to replace the rigidity that the top on a car like the MINI provides. That said it's clearly a more stiff car than the previous two generations and isn't noticeable on good roads.
Speaking of the top there's a reason MINI hasn't deviated from the general design is 15 years – it's perfect for this car. The ability to have a targa like open top without opening up completely is compelling as is the speed of which it can operate. Add to it the fact that it can be operated at speeds up to around 20 mph and it makes this car much more versatile than you'd expect.
That versatility continues inside where the rear seats can be folded down offering a pass-through to the small boot. It's a little trick that makes the MINI Convertible much more livable as a daily driver.
Revised and Simplified Adaptive Suspension
For 2021 MINI has eliminated the electronic adaptive dampers and replaced with what they call Intelligent Adaptive Suspension. It's a simplified approach to providing the best of both worlds that initially reads a bit like cost cutting on paper. We know it works with a passive frequency selective set-up that opens a valve in each damper 50 milliseconds at a time to change damping by up to 50% during the largest wheel impacts. But there isn't a lot of information beyond that data point out there. So we went directly to MINI to better understand the system.
In short the system attempts to give drivers both comfort and sport in one system without the need to change settings. The result is that the new adaptive suspension system (only available in the F55. F56 and F57) reduces wheel hop which allows for better traction and generally more compliancy. It can get softer than the previous comfort setting and more stiff than the previous sport. And as you'd expect on JCW models it's tuned to be a bit more aggressive still.
In our tests there's a touch more compliance over bumps but without the downsides of a more soft spring suspension around corners. While it's not a night and day difference it would seem to be a good step in the right direction for 99% of owners and needs. Crucially the added comfort over bumps doesn't impact performance and was always predictable in a hyperactive way that MINIs can be. In some ways it reminded more of us of classic Minis which had body roll designed into the cone suspension that never detracted from outright performance.
The revised 2022 MINI Convertible Cooper S feels well honed almost ten years into its platform's life cycle. While the infotainment interface feels a bit baffling and the blind-posts are biblical, there's little to fault a car that can deliver so much in such a small package. And it's also an incredibly unique package with almost no competitors on the market beyond the Mazda MX-5.
The sheer joy of driving a MINI is amplified in the Convertible Cooper S without the top. Closer to the experience of driving and the environment around you, it reminds you why these cars have such a die-hard fan base. Simply put it's joy on four wheels.

I know I blogged this amazing Yoona Balloon Pocket Dress from Navabi ages ago, but it's become such a wardrobe staple during this transitional weather that I thought I'd show it again with how I'm currently styling it.
The dress itself is made from a generous amount of soft stretch jersey, and is light and airy for those days filled with warm, balmy sunshine. However it's such an easy style to layer up, and I've found myself chucking a simple roll neck jumper or crisp shirt underneath to make it a little more chill resistant.
Love dresses like this - the type you can wear in so many different ways. This dress really is amazing - perhaps I ought to get myself one when my buying freeze is over!
