When trying to merge different WMS layers together to reduce a PDF file size i'm loosing too much image quality. An alternative option that i build is to just add them as extra layers but the file size is sometimes too big for normal use. So my question is: How can i improve my image quality?
The ideal option is to get the same quality as you would normally see when all rasters are send to the the data inspector. Like this:
But with with nearest neighbour it looks like this:
If i use bi-linear it looks a bit better:
and bi-cubic looks even better:
But it still loses a lot of detail and line quality in the parts that the lines are semitransparent. Is there a option for merging this the same way as the result shown in the data inspector (see the first image) without all the abundance of data that you cannot see? In the end i would like my PDF with rasters merged to be/look the same as the PDF with the rasters as separate layers.
I have taken the necessary transformers from my flow into the workbench below with a small sample (1% of the area) of raster data. The raster would be bigger in x and y but have the same detail in pixels.
My settings in the mosaicker:
Hi Jeroen,
Main difference (apart from removing processes that ssem not functional that is) is the use of MapnickRasteriser instead of RasterMosaicker.
I was not able to get it to look good using the Mosaicker. (to do that I think you need use at least one Rasterexpression to prevent for instance the grey line to mess up the red line etc.).
It is not easy to post things in this new forum format..lol. Had to try like 3 4 times.
A RasterpalletteResolver followed by RasterbandNodatasetter
Sort them and send to a MapnikRasterizer.
Is all you need. (apart from sorting order attributecreators)
Yields a better picture.
Also sort the kadaster on top of the BGT, looks way better.

Severe floods impact the poorest strata of the society the most, causing a loss of lives, livelihood options and assets. They also place an enormous burden on the government in terms of reconstruction budgets. In this context, a broader assessment of floods from a 'sustainable development' perspective, by limiting economic growth options to within the carrying capacity of the ecosystem, is the need of the hour.
Floods also wash away top soil and substantial biodiversity of the area, resulting in a reduced riverwater flow, death of earthworms and spread of viral and bacterial diseases among crops.

This is a quiet, very private property situated in the heart of the Mowbray valley facing north east embracing valley and ocean views. With the scarcity of elevated blocks to build on in Mowbray opportunities to own a home like this are becoming few and far between. At the end of a long driveway you'll find the home nice and secluded in a private rain-forest setting, nestled on the side of the hill with plenty of parking space. This much loved family home was built for the Far North Queensland tropical lifestyle and is only a seven minute drive from fabulous Port Douglas. Exposed timber beams, slate floors, and the two way open fireplace add to the ambience of the property. Large windows and large sliding doors take advantage of the nature filled surroundings and fill the home with natural light. The home features a large in ground pool (75,000 litre, salt) with wet edge and views looking across the valley to the Coral Sea. The long verandah is another great place to sit and enjoy the breath taking views and abundant bird life. The home has been renovated over the years and the property still has plenty of potential for further development on the 2.8 acres with a second dwelling pad already in place with power to the site.

Bicycle photo of the day
I am now three rides behind on write-ups, plus I need to do the route descriptions for the High Rock 300 (which I might do again next weekend, if the weather is good; if I don't have to stop for route annotation purposes and info control picking, and if I don't ride a fast 100k the day before, I might be able to chop an hour or so off the loop time, and if I can do an alpine 300 in 70% of the allotted time I would be a very happy camper indeed) and Hot Springs-Covered Bridges 400k. But those will take time, and it's almost bedtime in Chateau Chaos, so instead here's a picture of my Trek loaded with a bucketload of groceries.
Note that the front wheel has a 26mm tire, and the back wheel has a 27mm tire.
This, as they say, gives me all of it (unlike the iPhone, which only gives me some of it in the camera ergonomics and performance department.)

Urban-Ultra Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge 2016
Average ratings
"What a great challenge. Well organised with such a friendly atmosphere. My Ride Captain Julian looked after me at the end of the pod. Thank you to all police support. Cut off time could have been one hour longer (I was removed one hour short but proud). Happy amateur Johan Dalen "
"Event was well organised with excellent support provided during the ride from the police and also the organizers. The only time as a rider I felt a bit exposed, was on the descents after the tunnels, bot on the whole felt well protected. Well done to all!"
"There were not enough shower possibilities at the arrival."
"A bit more police guidance on the way up the coast to the Hotel in Fujairah "
"Can't wait for next year !!!!!"
"The police escort and pod SAG vehicles were absolutely amazing. The volunteers at each station were very helpful. The post race meal was out-of-this-world amazing!"
"Nice ride however some fixes could have been done before this 15th edition.. -1)Ride pack collection for Abu Dhabi People should have opened the we before or in AD. It's common sense people work during the week -2)No need to arrive at 4:30am to start at 6:20 -3)Allow more time between Pods, we got stuck behind the previous group until the first station -4)Send back the bikes trucks earlier, avoid stopping at petrol station 20k before Sharjah. Some people still had a 2:00 drive back. Great even"
"Very well organised event before, during and after with a beautiful location to finish in and amazing BBQ afterwards Logistics and support for the entire event from beginning to end were very well thought out and ran smoothly One area for improvement would be determining POD allocation and then the discipline of the PODs themselves with respect to rider ability Will take part in this event again #impressed"
"It looked like an epic ride - 220km across the desert - and that is what it was. It felt like what I understand it started as, a local club ride. Different riders have different ways of riding but there was some unnecessary telling off going on. Would also have been good towards the end to let the slower riders drop back rather than hold the entire pod back. Overall though a mammoth organisation to get us across the desert safely so a big thank you. And great BBQ at the end to refuel."
"Speed pods worked very well and added some real camaraderie to the event. Police were outstanding in looking after us the whole way"
"Awesome event, safe, well manned by Police and volunteers, drink stations were set up well with friendly "hosts", great to have something as epic as this to train for and successfully finish, looking forward to the next one Only issue where: Selecting Jersey sizes online, my size was not offered as a selection but an email to PO fixed this. "
"Great Police support.... Makes a massive difference. Thanks"
"The organisation and comms was excellent. I thought the police were brilliant and extremely organised with the traffic control. Only downside was that the pod I was in didn't have a ride captain so completely splintered after the first stop leaving some of us playing catch-up to get back into a group, for the benefit of having a support car on your tail. Overall a great challenge and one that I'm glad I took on."
"Having done this event now I will have an accurate average speed so hopefully get in the correct pod next year. For those who are thinking about doing it next year talk to people you ride with who have done it this year and you will get a feel for the average you are able to achieve, hills and headwinds included."
"Keep it up! one of the best events that I have joined! Thanks a lot!"
"My first group ride ever and first ride over 120km. No faults except that little bit of cross/headwind that we encountered for 20km after Kalba. Please fix! Our ride captain (Julian) was excellent. Police were fantastic. Support was incredible and friendly. Superb destination."
"Great organisation - thought the pods worked well. Good support. Great shoutout to the police who not only coordinated, but did so with a smile and a wave. As usual, painful ride, but that is soon forgotten as the Al Aqha beach hoves into view. Thanks great day."
"Slightly hairy start from Sharjah but other than that I was very impressed with the organisation and the challenge."
"The Police were amazing and very good at controlling the traffic - Well Done!"
"Route was challenging but doable. Organization very good. Police road closures and escort excellent. Overall very happy I took part and already looking forward to the next one"
"Very well organised, particularly the rolling police escort. Could have done with a small medal / moment for finishing. Will be back next year 10kgs lighter! :-D"
"A fantastic event and the police support and junction closures were outstanding. An improvement year on year so well done to the organisers. One small niggle, I registered my car as a support car for Raha cycling we were 30 strong and I had our equipment in the car to support us, I also briefed all my team to take care of the car and not put electrolyte bottles on the seats etc as it is a fairly good car. Car was in Pod H we were in Pod G. Other group in G had two cars. "
"Urban Ultra did a great job organizing this event. I am sure they will get even better in the future. Well done! "
"Great event, great organisation, a bucket list ride for the UAE"
"Finisher's medal would have been a great addition to the experience as a souvenir"
"The C2C was a fantastic cycling experience. The process was slick from start to finish with perhaps a small area for improvement at the start with the registration timings and pod signage. The Police support and the way they controlled the traffic was worthy of note. Really looking forward to next year."
"Well organized, especially police involvement; great course"
"Perfect day and almost perfect organization. A little hiccup on the last 2 trucks that arrived back at the start a little late. Also would suggest that for out of towners participating maybe some form or way to help have connecting transport once back. Not a big issue but would have helped make a long day just a little shorter. Overall a great race and will suggest others to enter for next year "
"What an awesome challenge!!! Terrific organisation by the Urban Ultra Team, a big thank you for the huge effort to make this a great event. A big thank you as well to all the volunteers who manned the feed stations and were so helpful. And the Police were terrific with the rolling road closures to keep everyone safe. Only recommendation is for a staggered bus return so the early arrivals can return earlier to Sharjah. The very late return to Sharjah was very disappointing after such a long day."
"The best C2C ever......the organisation was amazing from start to finish. The police were fabulous and atmosphere was fanatastic. Excellent job"
"Overall an excellent experience, congratulations to UU for the organization and to UAE police. Felt safe at all times. A few minor suggestions 1) no pod leader was identified, it would have been good to have one to organize pod teamwork 2) feed stations were well located but could be a bit more varied 3) buses back should leave at different times (for ex: 1 early start and 1 later one). Thanks again and see you next year!"
"I have not stopped raving about this event since getting off the bike. In fact the last 25km, the general discussion in the group was about what a great experience we were all having. Congratulations to all involved. "
"Una buena sugerencia es que deberían tomar los tiempos para que incentiven a los tres mejores "
"A big thank you to the police, race marshalls and participants. "
"Enjoyable and well-organized throughout, particularly impressed with the Police support on both the Sharjah and Fujairah sides, I can't think of a way they could have done a better job. Equally the guys supporting the feed stations were excellent. Made the whole day go off smoothly."
"A great ride and the police support was fantastic. A bit more variety at the feed stations would have been good. Otherwise all very positive. Thanks to the organisers, drivers, volunteers and support staff for bringing it all together."
"Overall, a positive well planned event. Great support from the Police and the Marshalls meant the route signage was made redundant (a good job since I didn't spot any). Well supported, sufficient and suitably sited water stops. A finishers medal would've been a nice touch............."
"The impossibility of overtaking a slower Pod makes the event very boring and dangerous"
"Registration at the start was quick and efficient but was advertised as closing at 4:45am which was too early for an event starting at 6:00am. The police did a great job and are worth a special mention. One of my fellow riders was hit by a lorry and lucky not to have had more serious injuries or worse. this was caused by the stupidity of drivers thus unfortunately don't think these kind of things will ever be avoided. Not sure the route signage would of been adequate if you were alone."
"The organisation was exceptional and the police escort we received through the busier parts of Sharjah and Fujairah really helped keep everyone safe and moving forward. The support cars and drivers did an excellent job of helping out riders and keeping things moving. All in all top event. "
"Really enjoyed the whole experience, well organized, great support station. Very, very minor point, I know its not a race, but maybe a medal on completion to say your have completed the C2C challenge."
"Well organised and managed event. Nice to be able to socialise after the event and meet other cyclists. Best event for me here in the UAE."
"Wonderful event with great organisation and excellent police support. Very impressive!"
"Overall a very nice ride and smooth organisation. Kudos to the police as well for helping to keep it safe. The pod idea is good, but our pod just ripped apart on the first hill and that was that for our group. (I don't have a suggestion on how to improve this.) I wasn't particularly happy with the bike transportation back to base. My fork has a scratch that is not big enough to make a fuss, but big enough to take a taxi next year. "
"Dear Urban Ultra, great race, greatly organised - Thank you!! compared to other great races (La Marmotte, Dreiländer Giro, Ötzthaler Radmarathon) you have a great organized challenge. But you need to upgrade your Water/food supply during the race. eg Cold Water at all stations, at the station after 4-4,5 hour race, real food to eat (bread or other - not a full buffet is needed :) ) See you Next year. Finn"
"Well done guys - Couple of suggestions: 1) At the start no toilets facilities 2) 100km of dual carriageways not brilliant 3) Pods, great but ride captain should have more authority/power i.e. people that drop from groups ABC etc should not expect to drop to JHF and do 40kmh and road capt should have a no drop policy and maintain agreed averages 4) A silly medal is a nice memory to keep 5) Bus return should have choice of timing from 3 pm hourly 6) can Capt next year"
"No words really. Speechless how well organised it was, the police, stop stations and how well prepped everything was. Amazing and hands down to Urban Ultra team! "
"This was a good event and with the experience of doing it this time I'm sure it will be excellent next time. I felt that the organisers tried really hard to do everything right and that is appreciated. The police and support station teams were excellent. Three things I suggest could be improved are: the sign on, a better idea of when the bus would get back and the pod assignments"
"Great day out on the roads - felt quite safe despite fears from last year. Police did a great job. Perhaps have only one vehicle where rider bags are stored / transported to Fujairah (not one for each bunch (A,B,C, etc.). Great cameradie amongst cyclists - really enjoyed the company of those I cycled with."
"What an amazing event!! The you for making us all feel safe thought the ride. The police escorts were simply amazing!! The pods idea grouping riders of the same ability together was an other big one for making this event a great success. The BBQ venue was also a great choice. Improvement suggestion: have the number stickers made of plastic (or more a stronger material) and have them perforated so scissors would not be required."
"Fantastic ride. Excellent support from the police - felt safe on the roads the whole route, including the hills where pods were decimated. Support stations were excellent - water, aqualite, bananas, oranges, energy bites - all at good intervals. Great finishing location + bbq. Only gripe is the starting organisation - arrived at 04:30 only to sign in and wait 1.5hrs with nothing to do, while others showed up at 05:45 and had no issues signing in or starting on time. Highly recommended day out!!"
"Return bus could maybe have left 1 hour earlier"
"The ovrall organisation was good. Support cars and police escort was exellent!!! Never feeled unsafe. The feeding/water stations have been poor equipped. I was at least expecting energy bar etc for such long ride and money. Finish location was perfect."
"The arrangements at the start were absurd. The expectation that people would wait an hour after registration for the start was unnecessary. Registration for me consisted of being asked my number and having my name ticked. There was no signature required, no waiver signed etc. The PA issues and instructions, false start etc. while in the start chute was messy too. Would it not make sense to mark of the groups with a sign, rather than have everyone guess approx where they should have been?"
"What a fantastic experience. A great way to see the UAE, and a great ride. I do not have enough words to praise the police support we had - what a great job they did, and with the spectre of previous rides hanging over the event, I could not have felt safer. What a great job, Thank you."

Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture hosted a delegation from Trade and Investment South Africa to explore the investment opportunities and possibilities of expanding the economic connection between the two countries.
In this meeting that took place two days after the US unilateral reimposing of its economic sanctions on Iran, Yunus Hussain, the head of South African Investment Promotion Agency, stressed that EU and other countries do not support the US actions and that South Africa is seeking ways to develop its economic ties with Iran despite sanctions.
Further, Mr. Bakhtiari, the deputy head of TCCIM on international affairs, noted that the presence of the South African delegation in Tehran Chamber of Commerce is a step forward for the two countries to develop their economic ties and promote investment projects that can be financed both by Iranian as well as South African investors.
Advantages of investing in Iran
Also in the course of this meeting Ferial Mostofi, member to the assembly of Tehran Chamber of Commerce and the president of the Investment and Consultancy Center of TCCIMA noted that Tehran Chamber of Commerce as the parliament of the private sector in Iran seeks to develop the economic relations between the Iranian private sector and the international community despite the sanctions. She further emphasized that Iran is one of the largest economies in the MENA region and with a population of over 80 million, young and educated labor force, access to the vast regional market, well-developed infrastructure, etc. has plenty of investment opportunities to offer.
Mostofi further explained that the Investment and Consultancy Center of TCCIMA has launched a website to provide the potential investors with the information they are going to need to invest in Iran including investment regulations, introducing key economic sectors and their economic advantages, existing investment projects, etc.
Further, Yunus Hussain, the head of South African Investment Promotion Agency, explained that having reached economic and political stability in 2007 South Africa has set its goal to attract foreign investors. He exemplified that in its auto industry, South Africa has collaborated with renowned car companies such as Nissan, Ford, Toyota, and BMW and is now prepared to cooperate with Iran in this field. He added that given their long history in mining the two countries could collaborate in this field as well as more cutting edge fields such as green economy, renewable energies and so on.
Also in this meeting, Maryam Faraji the head of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance's Investment Promotion Office, accentuating on the South African side's willingness to strengthen its economic ties with Iran, indicated that no real obstacle stands in the way of this alliance and that the ministry of Economic Affairs is prepared to take the required measures to facilitate the accomplishment of this goal. Encouraging those with investment projects to come forward Faraji further noted that more than 500 investment projects have been identified so far and are going to be introduced to the potential investors accordingly.
In the course of this meeting Yunus Hussain further stressing on the political bond and mutual understanding that exist between the two countries illustrated that the South African delegation's intend from attending this meeting was to seek ways and solutions to facilitate the economic collaboration with Iran and accordingly address any obstacles that may stand in the way of achieving this goal. He indicated that the issues that had been raised in this meeting would be discussed with the South African Chamber of Commerce to help maintain the economic relation between the two countries.

Developed for smokers, IQOS is an intuitive alternative to smoking
Built with smokers in mind, the intuitive design of IQOS is a result of over 10 years of research and development. Let's look in more detail at the device, a winner of the 2017 Good Design Award.
Slim and stylish design
Weighing in at approximately 120 g, IQOS is so light you can take it anywhere. The heft of the device feels light in the hands, and with dimensions of approximately 11 cm by 5 cm, it's about the size of a small mobile handset.
The Jury of the Good Design Awards 2017 say, "The distinct shape and the combination of sleek metallic tones with neutral colourways… gives IQOS an aesthetically pleasing and smart feeling that integrate elegantly into everyday life."
Simple to use, ready at a touch
To use IQOS, simply insert a specially designed heated tobacco stick into the IQOS holder and press the button to heat the tobacco. There's no need to continuously hold down on any buttons like some e-cigarettes, and after the experience is over (14 puffs or 6 minutes, whichever comes first), your IQOS will shut off automatically.
Place the IQOS holder into the pocket charger again to charge the holder for your next experience. Some IQOS users prefer to always have their IQOS ready, and buy a second holder, for continuous charging. Our variety of carry cases are designed to hold an IQOS, a second IQOS holder, and a pack of heated tobacco sticks for convenient carrying.
Convenient pocket charger and battery indicator
The pocket charger holds the IQOS holder while charging and also stores the holder when it's not in use. Indicator lights on the pocket charger ensure you always know when your IQOS holder is charged and how much battery remains in the pocket charger. One light indicates 25% battery power remaining, two lights 50% battery power remaining, and so on.
Your IQOS comes shipped with 50% battery life in the pocket charger, and you should be able to use your IQOS right away. There's no need to charge the pocket charger to full power to use the IQOS holder. Once the pocket charger is fully charged, you can use it 20 times – the same number of times as sticks in a pack of heated tobacco sticks.

October 14th, 15th and 16th. In London, Newcastle and Edinburgh. Co-organised by the PSE.
If this life is all there is, what should we do with it? Yale philosopher Martin Hägglund will consider some of the deepest questions of existence, arguing that only by stripping away their subtle illusions can we discover the true value of our earthly freedom.
Through revelatory engagements with some of history's greatest philosophers, from Aristotle to Marx, Hägglund will explore the idea of existence as a collective project: everything is at stake in what we do together, and no victory can survive us. In this way, they will argue, rigorous secularism leads to socialism.
With his new book, This Life, earning a rave review from no less a figure than James Wood in the New Yorker, Hägglund has been hailed by Richard Klein as "the most important young philosopher in the United States."

Soirees Celibataires; Soirees Speed Dating;. Les bars pour célibataires:.
Les clubs de rencontre et de loisirs pour célibataires sur Paris,. If you spend a lot of time thinking about the size of nose or wishing for a better profile, rhinoplasty, or a nose job, may be the cosmetic procedure for you.
The nose is an important feature and plays a large role in determining our appearance. Some people would like to get rid of the bump on the bridge of their nose to improve their profile. Others would like a more refined tip and still others may have sustained some trauma to the nose or have difficulty breathing. Simoni's rhinoplasty can address all of these structural and aesthetic issues. Simoni meets with each of his patients for a consultation and will evaluate the nose based on the issues they would like addressed and the natural structure and aesthetics of their nose. He will then discuss your options based on the thickness of your skin, your age and the relationship of the structure of your nose to your overall face shape.
Your decision should take into account all of these variations and what can be accomplished so that your nose complements your face and its other features. This will result in a balanced look that is reflected in both the frontal and profile view of your nose. The first step of your rhinoplasty surgery consultation is to tell Dr. Simoni what you would like to accomplish with the appearance of your nose.
You can decide to reduce or increase the size of your nose, make changes to the bridge or the tip, narrow the size of your nostrils or change the angle of the nose between your upper lip and nose. He will then examine your nose and facial structure and make suggestions based on his experience and medical expertise. With the aid of 3D computer generated modeling software, he can also create projections as to what you can expect your nose to look like after surgery in comparison to what your nose currently looks like.
This offers an added opportunity for additional dialogue between you and Dr. Simoni so that you are both on the same page regarding what you would like to achieve during your rhinoplasty. When the consultation is concluded, you will have a clearer concept of what you can expect with rhinoplasty so you can make the final decision as to whether or not this procedure is right for you. The open-tip or open-nose technique is the preferred rhinoplasty method by Dr. During the open-tip rhinoplasty, a minor incision is made across the vertical strip of tissue that separates the nostril cavities.
This is called the columella. By doing an open-nose method, Dr. Simoni allows a more direct view of the nasal structure and can control the result with even more precision. Rhinoplasty is not usually recommended until the patient has finished their growth spurt, usually during the mid teen years, or 14 or 15 years of age for girls and 16 for boys. Our nose job procedure is performed in either a hospital or an outpatient surgical facility.
It takes about two hours though more complex procedures can take longer. For example, rhinoplasty may performed in combination with other procedures designed to address the functionality of the nose by removing nasal obstructions. Generally, Dr. Simoni recommends his patients undergo general anesthesia for the majority of rhinoplasty procedures he performs.
When the surgery is complete, a splint is applied to give structure to the nose and keep the nasal structures from moving. The splint also helps the nose maintain its new shape. This allows patients to be more comfortable during recovery. Nasal packing is commonly used to control the minor bleeding that occurs after surgery. However, it can lead to additional unnecessary pain, swelling, bleeding and discoloration that can be minimized by avoiding packing the nose.
At the end of one to two weeks, all stitches, dressings and splints will be removed. Most patients are able to move around their house in two days. Rhinoplasty patients normally return to school or sedentary work about a week after the surgery. It will take several weeks before your energy returns entirely and you feel back to normal. You will see results in two to three weeks, but full results will not be seen for 6 to 12 months as swelling will continue to reduce and the enhanced contour and form of your nose will become more evident.
Within the nose, there are two primary structures which influence the flow of air through the nose. These are the septum, which is the tissue that divides the nostrils into two chambers, and the turbinates, several curved, shelf-like bones inside the nose.
http://www.cantinesanpancrazio.it/components/jometexid/593-spiare-tastiera-android.php During your consultation, Dr. Simoni will examine the internal framework of your nose and can make suggestions for structural improvements based on your specific nasal issues if there are any. If you are experiencing trouble breathing, there may be a blockage in one or both nasal passages. Surgery to correct these issues can be performed in combination with cosmetic rhinoplasty or as an independent procedure. In a procedure to correct these structural issues alone, the external appearance of the nose is not affected. And because this type of surgery addresses a medical issue, it may be covered by your insurance.
Simoni and his staff can discuss this with you in more detail and help in obtaining pre-certification from your insurance provider for the functional surgery. Keep in mind that insurance companies may require a 6-month wait period that may include extensive x-rays, testing and potentially the use of medication prior to approving the surgery.
Yes, it is possible to target just one aspect of the nose for improvement. It is very common for a patient to simply want to address the tip of their nose, which they may feel is too large or round.
Another patient may want to leave the tip of their nose as it is and instead they want to get rid of a bump on the bridge of their nose. Simoni can consult with you on the various rhinoplasty options that are open to you and the potential outcomes of each so a surgery plan that will achieve your goals can be created.
In some cases, especially for those patients who had plastic surgery more than a decade ago, a second rhinoplasty may be requested. This could be to correct an issue that came up after their first nasal surgery or because they did not get the results they wanted and feel that another surgery would create a better outcome. Revision rhinoplasties or secondary rhinoplasties are more difficult than primary rhinoplasties because of scar tissue that develops as a result of the first surgery. Additionally, too much cartilage may have been removed during the first rhinoplasty, which may require replacement and grafting from other areas of the body.
Because of these complications, it is important to understand that the goal of these surgeries is improvement and not perfection. For these reasons, it is also essential that you carefully choose a surgeon experienced in successful revision rhinoplasties.
The philosophy of the physician that performs your rhinoplasty is just as important as his skill, as the viewpoint of the surgeon will greatly affect your results. There are some cosmetic surgery procedures that are expected to produce dramatic results, as in the cases of liposuction or sometimes breast augmentation. However, cosmetic nasal surgery is not usually one of these procedures. Instead, subtlety is essential. Results of rhinoplasty should be balanced and attractive—not overdone or mismatched to other facial features. For males, the ideal nose is strong.

This means straight, symmetrical and streamlined but not delicate, feminine or upturned. Ideal female noses are small and tilt slightly upward, in balance with the shape of the face.

SALEM, Ore. --- The Oregon Court of Appeals has dismissed a lawsuit filed by environmental groups challenging the state's decision to lift endangered species protections for gray wolves.
KEZI 9 News has learned that on Thursday the appeals panel tossed the complaint.
State wildlife officials removed wolves from Oregon's endangered species list in 2015 and lawmakers passed a bill backing that move in 2016.
Cascadia Wildlands, Oregon Wild and the Center for Biological Diversity sued, arguing the delisting was premature and not based on sound science.
The appeals court says the legislative bill makes the environmentalists' lawsuit irrelevant.
Wolves are still federally protected as an endangered species in western Oregon.
Ranchers have long argued they need to be able to kill wolves that make a habit of preying on livestock.

Mario kart is most definitely an indispensable title on the Switch and one of three games that I'd say is an absolute must have (alongside Zelda BOTW and the Overcooked series). The game provides hours of fun for all ages and is very easy to pick up and put down making it a great impromptu way to kill time. If you own a nintendo switch already and haven't picked up this title yet I strongly recommend that you do.

Bought it on the Wii U, yet the game was so good that not only was a purchase on the switch perfectly justifiable, the added functionality of the switch enriches the multiplayer experience so much that it's a must-buy. A game as good as this deserves its new home on switch, and being able to throw a controller to a friend anytime you have the chance provides a consistently enjoyable experience of play as a go-to game, as well as introduction to anyone for what this console is capable of.

This is a really good game for parties and also for online multiplayer. As I live in a different country from my family and friends, we try and find games that we can play online together. There is no lag on any of our consoles and we love playing the races and mini games.

My 5yo son played Mario Kart at someone's house and loved it. He came begging for a Switch. We held out as long as we could but Santa brought him a Switch and Mario Kart Deluxe. This is a great first game and simple enough for a child 4+. That being said, there is enough variation in speeds, race courses, etc. that it will keep an older child or adult engaged as well.

Good crawler tire and still quiet on the road
what is the max tire psi on this tire
Asked by adam from ma on
Thanks for the inquiry adam, the Toyo Tires P285/70R17, A/T II part # TOY352150 the max PSI is 44 LBS.
Answered by from ma on
How much does this tire weigh? What is the load range? 13/32 tread depth compared to the E rated 16/32, both are 65,000 mile warranty? I use my 2012 F150 mainly for commuting and want a lighter, quieter tire that still can get you there in those rare off road moments.
Asked by Crusty from Elk Grove, CA on
Thanks for the inquiry Crusty, the Toyo Tires P285/70R17, A/T II part # TOY352150 this is a standard load vs. a 10 ply or E which is a heavy duty tire with a very stiff sidewall meant for HD trucks or diesels. The standard load rating should be fine and wear really well for you.
Answered by from Elk Grove, CA on
Is this tire the E10 (extreme)? I see the picture is the extreme but I do not see the E10 code.
Asked by Richard from United States on
Richard, I checked the toyo website and couldn't find anything talking about the E10 code on these tires you are talking about. Are you referring to E load range?
Answered by Morgan from United States on

The staff is friendly and competent. The location is convenient and they always have loads of up to date magazines so that you can relax!
Mary Bythell - 30/09/2011 | report this review
I went for a full head colour but it was poor quality and they didn't blow dry or brush my hair afterwards. This was in the middle of winter! When I complained about the service the owner said they didn't have time to finish; this was despite my booking in advance. I was just expected to leave with wet and unkept hair. What was most shocking was the attitude. She said I didn't have to pay, but she just hoped she never saw me again! It's a good job I didn't pay: the tint was a cheap, poor quality product, which has damaged my hair. Go there at your own risk.

The complete guide to Scottish beer – its history, how it's made and the best beers you can buy
Scottish Beer is almost as legendary as Scotch whisky, and you can't step foot in any town in the country without finding yourself in the vicinity of at least one watering hole that serves a wide selection of local brews.
In fact, I'd say beer and pubs are just as much a part of Scottish culture as music and dance, not because the Scots like getting drunk (who doesn't?) but because having a pint is such an inherently sociable thing to do.
Whether it's watching the Saturday football at home or relaxing in a pub garden on a sunny afternoon, beer tends to be the glue that brings people together no matter who they are or where they're from.
Unfortunately, in recent years beer somewhat fell out of favour with drinkers due to a slew of trendy new gin joints and alcohol-free bars (seriously, what's that all about?) that started to crop up in the majority of Scotland's city centres, coupled with steadily increasing business rates that caused the humble British pub to close at a rate of 18 per week.
There's a cultural shift happening too, and young people aged 18 to 24 are now less likely to drink than any other age group, while those that do like a drink prefer to buy their booze in supermarkets and off-licences – leading to a significant drop in sales of draught-pulled beer.
But thankfully mans oldest friend is now making a spectacular comeback thanks to the fantastic craft beer micro-breweries that are springing up everywhere from Kelso in the Borders to Shetland in the far north.
Some of the ales being made by these new breweries are incredibly exciting and are a refreshing kick up the backside to the massive conglomerates that had become complacent by regurgitating the same product over and over again.
Take Edinburgh's Innis and Gunn as an example. These guys have whole-heartedly accepted America's love of craft ale by producing their own variety matured in ex-bourbon barrels, something the mass-produced lager companies would never have dreamed of doing.
Or how about Fraserburgh-based BrewDog who kickstarted the new craft beer industry with their delicious Punk IPA? After receiving flak for making another beer at 18.2% ABV they responded with a 0.5% alternative called Nanny State as a two-fingered salute to the establishment, and they've continued to stick it to the man ever since.
Scotland's beer industry is now booming, so if you'd like to learn more about the story of brewing in Scotland I've included a few facts in this article that I reckon you'll find interesting, along with recommendations of my favourite breweries and some really good beer festivals you might like to attend.
I hope you find it useful. Cheers!
The history of Scottish beer
The history of brewing ale in Scotland stretches back further in time than you might imagine. In fact, it's known that beer was being made by the inhabitants of Skara Brae in Orkney as long ago as 3000BC. That's 5000 years of beer-making history under Scotland's belt! No wonder they know how to make such a good pint up here.
Those first Neolithic brewers used barley as the primary ingredient along with a selection of bittering herbs like heather, myrtle and broom – all readily available plants that can still be found throughout Scotland's wilderness today.
Obviously, no samples from those first days of Scotland's brewing heritage survive, but records show that the pungent brews were flavoured with meadowsweet (another common Scottish plant) which can still be found in damp meadows throughout Britain.
This method of beer making was likely brought south by the Picts who had developed a herb mixture for brewing called gruit sometime in the late Iron Age, long before the modern preference for using hops had ever been thought of.
Beer became one of the most common beverages during the middle ages and was drunk daily by all classes, not because it was a social thing to do but because it was a healthy thing to do. Yep, back then, drinking beer was considered healthier than drinking water!
The reasons for this train of thought make sense once you look at the quality of water our medieval ancestors would have had to put up with.
Dirty, polluted water raised from a well would no doubt be full of parasites and disease which would have been downright dangerous to drink in an age when medical care was virtually non-existent.
Beer on the other hand was made with boiled water which meant that all the bugs and beasties in the ingredients were killed off, leaving a bacteria-free liquid that maintained its sterility thanks to the alcohol it contained.
It's known that even children drank beer back then, though what their alcoholism rate was like I can only imagine, but at least the medieval authorities made sure the product was kept at a consistently good quality.
Because so much beer was needed (each person consumed around 60 gallons per year) most large premises brewed their own, especially in priories and castles where entire breweries were created to keep stock levels permanently full.
As demands for the beverage increased so too did the skills of the brewers who gradually formed themselves into trade bodies like the Edinburgh Society of Brewers that was established all the way back in 1598.
These guilds ensured the ale was made to a consistently high quality and were able to build their own breweries to produce ever-increasing quantities, which in turn led to the creation of the first roadside taverns and inns who were able to buy from the guilds and then re-sell at a profit to passing thirsty travellers.
When the Acts of Union was passed in 1707, taxes were introduced on beer that were much lower in Scotland than in England meaning Scottish Breweries were able to cheaply produce vast quantities at an enormous profit that in turn led to some of the biggest breweries in the world being established, like Glasgow's Tennent and Dunbar's Belhaven breweries – both of which are still going strong today.
We don't know exactly when hops were introduced to the beer-making process but author Thomas Pennant wrote in 1769 that the residents of Islay were skilled in making ale from heath plants and 'sometimes adding hops', although the use of bittering herbs was still prevalent across the rest of Caledonia at that time.
By the end of the 19th century, hops had completely replaced the ancient use of herbs, though the actual process of making beer remained pretty much unchanged until the 1900s.
Following the Second World War, England was under pressure to increase taxation on beer which in turn led to lower strength – but cheaper – ales, but while these beverages were readily drunk down south the Scottish weren't so keen and so old stalwarts like English porter eventually disappeared from Scotland's pubs for good.
Another major change occurred in the 1970s when German lager rapidly established itself as Scotland's favourite type of beer.
The growth of lager was phenomenal, increasing market share from under 2% in 1965 to over 20% just ten years later – the greatest shift in the industry since hops were introduced more than two hundred years earlier.
Recent years have seen another shift in Scottish beer-drinking circles with the rise of micro-breweries and craft ales inspired by American craft brewers.
These tiny – often two-man – breweries are able to adapt and change quickly to the Scottish consumer's changing tastes and many people are now saying that Scotland is in a new brewing renaissance, with the torch being carried by major new success stories like the previously mentioned Aberdeenshire Brewdog and Edinburgh Innis and Gunn.
Whatever new developments are around the corner for Scotland's beer industry is anyone's guess, but I think it's safe to say the country will keep its love affair with the brew for many years to come.
How is Scottish beer made?
The process of brewing beer has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years, though of course it has been refined significantly since the first days when random grains and herbs were thrown into a pot by the earliest European tribes.
These days everything is ultra-sterilised and efficient, but the five basic steps of malting, mashing, boiling, fermenting and bottling are the same as ever, though the process differs slightly between the breweries – much like whisky production is different between distilleries.
- Malting. Every beer contains some type of grain and while barley is the most popular many breweries also use wheat and rye. Just like in whisky distilling, this first stage dries out the grains in a heating process that cracks them open, ensuring they're ready for the mashing stage.
- Mashing. This step involves steeping the grains in hot water which activates the enzymes locked inside each one. As the water heats up the sugars inside the grain are released. Then, after a couple of hours, the grains are sieved out and the sugary water is used in the next step.
- Boiling. The sugary water – known as wort – is now boiled and hops and herbs are added to flavour to the mixture. This stage normally takes about an hour.
- Fermentation. Next, we have to take the flavoured extract and ferment it to produce alcohol. To enable this, yeast is added which reacts with the sugar in the wort. This step takes a few weeks during which the mixture is tested several times until the correct level of alcohol has been achieved.
- Bottling and ageing. The beer is now bottled and is either carbonated artificially or naturally using the CO2 produced by the yeast. Ageing takes anywhere between a few weeks to a few months, as opposed to whisky which takes a minimum of three years.
Now we know the history of Scottish beer and how it's made, let's turn our attention to some of the best breweries that actually make it.
Historically, the majority of Scottish breweries developed in the central Lowlands, with Edinburgh regarded as one of Britain's biggest exporters of beer around the world, though Glasgow comes close thanks to the output of the giant Tennent's brewery.
The peak of Scottish brewing is acknowledged as the early 1840s when there were an impressive 280 breweries operating but this number sadly declined as the smaller operations either merged or went out of business.
By 1970 there were just 11 breweries left in Scotland, and it was a known joke that if you wanted a pint in your local pub your choices were either Tennents, McEwans… or Tennents.
Thankfully that number is slowly reversing due to the number of microbreweries that are springing up and to date there are over one hundred legal breweries in Scotland producing world-class beer.
I'll list some of the best in the next section in no particular order, so if you see any in your local supermarket or pub you should do yourself a favour and give them a try.

Note to Self [What You Say | What I Think]
Yes, you really did just hear that gaffe. Here is the question: Did a Democratic Member of Congress just gaffe up really, really badly in one direction, or the other?
Translation: Did he botch, or tip, it?
Decades of Drudgery
The lede tells me that one of America's most widely read right-wing journalists said something nasty about someone who went and said something spectacular in his own right, but I find myself wondering how anyone, even conservatives, still pay attention to the journalist who is essentially criticizing his commercial competition.
The most part of accepting that professional wrestling is not real combat comes down to just that, accepting the obvious. The hardest part about supermarket tabloid gossip was always the idea that anyone might believe it. Twenty-some years have Republicans denigrated themselves for a horde of alleged journalists whose apparent basis for competition has something to do with finding ways to pitch more extreme alternatives to a worryingly hungry audience.
What portion of what is happening, and how we got here, has to do with words like, "unwell"?
And to what degree does is it relevant, or is any notion of apropos merely a matter of aesthetic priorities, that over two decades after the widely-read conservative firebomb journalist accidentally helped a cartoonist win a Pulitzer …―
An established muckraker questions the psychiatric health of a competitor and market heir, and something goes here about the Pulitzer joke and nearly bringing down a presidency, and here we are all these years later and still drowning in rape culture because … I mean, say what we will about Republicans and conservatives and all that, but the rest of the nation has been finding ways to enable them. And yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't vote for them, either, but it is also true that we're Americans, and we just don't go lining them up in front of the ditch, so we should probably consider that somewhere in between we still simply haven't done enough to forestall such spectacles as two excremental puckers fighting for headlines because that is the priority.

Remember, This Is #WhatTheyVotedFor
Republicans go to Hell, now:
President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump's disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.
The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.
Simply put: I am a child of the Cold War; the idea that a Republican would sell out the nation to the KGB will take some … ah … effort. Sixty-two million nine hundred eighty-four thousand eight hundred twenty-five might not have been a raw majority, but it was enough to elect a president who would sell out the nation to the Russians.
I know: Republicans. This is #WhatTheyVotedFor. Who'd'a'thunk?
