You'll find a lot of shared website hosting companies on the market today, yet many of them are resellers that have limited resources, especially when it comes to support. A good way to distinguish them is the option to reach the company over the phone. The type of support that you'll have through this method of communication may vary depending on the provider - a few of them provide you with professional telephone support, many others offer basic and customer support only as some matters are more time-consuming and it would be a lot less difficult to be resolved via a trouble ticket, especially if the situation has to be escalated. However, it is good to find that you can get in touch with your hosting supplier as there're various small problems that can be resolved effortlessly and in a timely manner through a telephone call, not mentioning that you will be able to get more info for the services before you become a client.
We believe that the option to speak with a live consultant is rather important, so we have 3 support lines all around the world (Australia, USA and UK) and you will be able to reach us over the phone for fourteen hours every day. If you consider getting one of our shared website hosting plans, for example, you can call us and find more about our solutions before you order in order to make sure that we cover all the system requirements for your websites. Following the order, you will be able to contact us about all of the sales and / or billing difficulties you may have, or receive any general or basic tech information you need. We've aimed to find the perfect balance between telephone and ticket support, so for strictly technical matters you will have to use the ticketing system, which will help you monitor the communication together with any new developments in the resolution of the issue.
We offer live phone support 14 hrs a day as part of the support services for each and every semi-dedicated server plan that we supply. Considering that some issues are more difficult and time-consuming, you may have to open a support ticket in case you experience such a problem, but for all of your billing, general or small-scale tech issues you can always call us and we'll help you instantly so as to save you the time you will need to spend on creating a ticket. Even if you don't have an account yet, you are able to find out whether you can host your internet sites on our cutting-edge cloud platform or you're able to receive any other general information about our semi-dedicated solutions. We now have local phone numbers in the U.S.A., Great Britain and Australia plus a worldwide number, so that you are able to call the one that is nearer to where you are.


At United, Rashford has Romelu Lukaku in his way at centre-forward and Alexis Sanchez occupying the left flank.
"I don't see Rashford ever displacing Lukaku so long as he is there, but Lukaku was at Chelsea and he had to come away from there and go to Everton", Carragher said on Sky Sports after England's win.
Rashford was back at Manchester United on Wednesday, likely resuming life on the margins of English soccer's biggest team.
Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is reportedly determined to stay and fight for his place at the club despite a recent lack of first-team football.
Gareth Southgate has warned his England players that it will be hard to pick them for next month's Nations League games in Croatia and Spain if they are not playing regularly for their clubs. They have to try to win matches.
That analysis has clearly got under Mourinho's skin, with the boss giving a 276-second answer to one question about the forward's performances for England. They have to rotate their squads.
On Rashford's woes at club level, Southgate said: "It's not my business to interfere with club managers. He's got huge competition for places at his club, so you can understand (his frustration)".

Q: SignalR first call after event is slow I have a WPF client hitting SignalR services.  It's a standard MVVM architecture with async button commands and async/await pattern for calling the services.
My SignalR client is a singleton in which the connection is started once when the app is initialized.
After a click event the very first call to signalr is always super slow.  It is taking like 5 seconds for a trivial noop call (like just returning true).
After that first call, then all subsequent calls return normally fast as you would expect.  And the behavior is repeated after every click virtually every time.  Sometimes it will be fast after waiting several minutes.
I've tried rearranging and commenting out calls, fiddling with the thread pattern, but always the same result.  That first call is too slow.
Has anyone seen this behavior before?

Cultures in Contrast, 2nd Edition
Student Life at U.S. Colleges and Universities
Myra Shulman
Cultures in Contrast is designed for students who are entering college or university life in the 21st century. It provides challenging readings and comprehension questions in every unit, accompanied by updated suggested films and additional readings. In each unit, students move from a general exploration of their beliefs to an analysis of a case study, a discussion of readings, and finally a specific choice of a coping strategy for a hypothetical dilemma. The case studies and readings, while providing various perspectives on life in the United States, are also meant to strengthen students' cultural self-awareness. The second edition features a new unit on binge drinking, which has been added to recognize one of the most serious problems on college campuses today.
Today, more than ever, students on college campuses are expected to have a sensitivity to and respect for diversity as well as a heightened awareness of individual rights and responsibilities. This text attempts to prepare students for this academic environment. Cultures in Contrast offers these students a means for analyzing and evaluating the complex social and moral issues that young adults throughout the world have to deal with.

News » Mentor Spotlight: Mark Cohen
Mentor Spotlight: Mark Cohen
Posted in: Mentor Spotlight, Mentoring, The Bridge Golf Foundation
Michael Alameda and Mark Cohen at Old Westbury Golf and Country Club in Old Westbury, NY.
Mark Cohen grew up in a working-class family in Brighton & Hove, England, and came to New York in the early 1980s. Today he's retired and serving as a mentor to Michael Alameda, a junior at the Eagle Academy for Young Men of Harlem who has been in our after-school program since its inception. Charlie Hanger, digital content manager for the Foundation, talked to Mark recently about how he got from there to here.
CH: Tell us a little about your upbringing in England.
MC: I grew up in Brighton & Hove, a seaside resort on the south coast of England. My family was working class. My dad was a tailor, worked in the clothing business, and my mom was a stay-at-home mom until the kids grew up, when she opened a handful of clothing stores for young people. I have two sisters, one older and one younger. My parents always made sure we had what was necessary, but we didn't grow up in luxury.
CH: What were your football allegiances back home?
MC: I grew up as a big football fan, as most English kids do. Back in the early '60s, when I was a young kid, the FA Cup final was being held between Tottenham Hotspur and Burnley, a club from a small town in Lancashire. Growing up in London, my dad and his family were huge Spurs fans, so I decided at my rebellious young age (I couldn't have been more than 9 or 10) that I didn't want to support the team my dad supported, so I rooted for Burnley, and I'm still a Burnley fan. Growing up we used to go to games in our hometown and watch Brighton & Hove Albion play, but my passion has always been Burnley.
CH: How did you end up in New York?
MC: After grammar school, which is the equivalent of high school in the States, I began my professional training to become a Chartered Accountant, which is like a CPA on steroids. After passing a series of strenuous exams, I moved to London, where I worked for a few years, but I'd always wanted to come to the United States.
I was lucky enough to secure a job with a big insurance company, American International Group in New York, so I came to the U.S. in the early '80s and began my corporate career. Also, I should say that before moving I'd met my future wife, Margy, on a trip to Israel, where I'd gone to see a friend at Tel Aviv University. Margy was studying there on an overseas program from Tufts University. We met and stayed in touch and had sort of a long-distance relationship, so part of coming to the United States was to further my professional career, but a lot was to chase a special lady.
We got married in 1986 and lived on the Upper West Side, where two of our kids were born. They were young, 2 and 5, and I remember taking them to Central Park one weekend, and they were both looking at the grass with a rather confused look on their faces, and that's when I went home and said, "I think we should move to the suburbs." So we left Manhattan in 1993 and moved to Roslyn on the North Shore of Long Island. We had another child there, and we're still living in that house.
CH: Tell us about your professional career.
MC: I was with AIG for about nine years and Fitch Ratings for four years before moving to General Electric, where I worked close to 20 years before retiring about six years ago. Most of my career there was with GE Capital, where I headed up mergers and acquisitions. We would buy competing businesses, or buy companies to grow our products or geographical penetration around the world. In my last three years at GE, I had a similar role with GE's biggest industrial business, GE Energy. Basically, our operation made equipment that generated power – large gas turbines, wind turbines and distributed power units.
CH: Do any deals stand out in your memory?
MC: I hate to focus on particular deals, as we did a lot of them, (many good ones, but some, not so good) the majority in the U.S. but also around the world — Germany, Japan, the U.K., Europe.
Acquiring companies requires a substantial amount of due diligence and examination of the asset you're buying in a very short period of time. There's an old adage in the world of M&A: "The seller always knows more than a buyer." If you've ever sold a car or a house, you know that's true. It was rather a challenge to make sure our team could acquire enough knowledge to make an informed decision about the risk-reward equation. It was very similar to golf, actually, where you have to look at a shot and in a relatively short period of time decide if the risk of trying to pull it off is worth the reward of actually pulling it off.
CH: That's a good segue. How did you get into the game?
MC: My wife's family were big golfers, especially my father-in-law and brother-in-law. My wife took lessons when she was a teenager, although she doesn't play too often now. I had only played a little bit in England, but when we would vacation with my wife's family, I started playing with them, and I got addicted. Over the years I've tried to manage the frustration that comes along with such a terrific game.
CH: Getting through the frustration can be hard, but golf does have its rewards. What have you gotten out of it over the years?
MC: If I look back at things I've learned about golf and applied to my personal life and professional career, it's a long list.
I think golf has a tremendous similarity to the ups and downs you go through in life. There have been a couple of times in my life when I thought I may have mastered some part of the game, and then it takes me three shots to get out of a bunker! It's a game that I continually learn from and something that humbles me tremendously.
Through golf I've learned a huge amount about people, and hopefully people have learned about me. When I was working, I always felt that it would be so much better to take someone out on the golf course instead of interviewing them in the office for an hour or two.
People have always told me in life not to dwell too much on the past, to stay in the present, which I think is a continuing challenge in golf as well. When we play golf, Michael and I repeat a mantra: "The most important shot in golf is the next one."
I like the fact that golf is self-regulated. We don't really have much other than our integrity in life, and it's a constant factor in golf, where we determine how we play and how we adhere to the rules of the game.
I also like that it's never perfected. Even the top PGA golfers in the world haven't perfected golf.
CH: How did you become involved in the mentoring program at The Bridge Golf Foundation, and what can you tell us about your relationship with Michael Alameda?
MC: A couple of years ago, a close friend of mine who was already involved, Mark Kitaeff, asked me if I would be interested in being a mentor. I said sure, went to a meeting, and met Michael.
It took a little bit of time for us to get to know each other. My experience in mentoring came in the corporate world, where I used to mentor a number of younger professionals. This was a different challenge.
I live about 20 miles outside of New York City, so I don't see him as regularly as I'd like, but we FaceTime and chat on the phone, or I'll come in during the week and we'll grab a cup of coffee while the after-school program is going on. We've played golf a couple of times, and we're planning to do a volunteer activity at a soup kitchen in the near future.
I'm interested in getting him interested in charitable work. Every other year, I participate in a 300-mile, 5-day (very hilly) bike ride in Israel. It's organized by a national organization, Camp Ramah, and raises funds for individuals with special needs. This year, before I did the ride in April, Michael and I went over the daily routes and talked about my strenuous training schedule.
One challenge for me as a mentor is that Michael and the other young men in the program have a lot of authority figures in their lives — parents, teachers, the staff at the Bridge, etc. I'm not sure the mentees are excited to have another authority figure in their lives, so I try to balance being a confidant and a friend while still showing concern for how he's doing at school, at the Bridge, and in life generally. I think to be a good mentor you have to find that balance.
It's also been a two-way street; I've learned from Michael as well. I've learned about hip-hop music and the NBA, two things that Michael's very passionate about. (He's a huge LeBron fan.) I have greater insight what it's like to live as a 15-year-old in Harlem. I've tried to get something out of it too, and I hope that is challenging Michael to see that it's a mutual exchange, and not just about me giving him advice. Michael is a fine young man, with a promising future.
I think what Bob Rubin, Stéphane Samuel, Mike Sweeney and the entire Bridge Golf Foundation team are undertaking is absolutely commendable. It's a privilege to support this program.
CH: Did you have a mentor when you were younger?
MC: Not when I was growing up, and I don't think I knew anyone who did. It was a different time. In the early part of my career at GE, however, I had a boss, a pretty senior guy in the company, who was a great mentor to me. I learned a tremendous amount from him in how he dealt with people from all levels of the company, and how he was always exceptionally prepared for whatever issue we were going to discuss.

Losing birthright citizenship — more than theoretical
By O. Ricardo Pimentel
Published 12:00 am CDT, Saturday, August 29, 2015
Rodolfo and Maria Pimentel, my parents, circa 1950. The kind of people who apparently scare Donald Trump to death.
Photo: /
There's this vintage George Carlin joke.
The Vatican had just rescinded the ban on eating meat on Fridays. And two guys, sweating it out in a very hot place after they've passed away, look to the heavens and shout up in plaintive, pleading voices, "Is it retroactive?"
I've got much the same question for the guy commanding the GOP heights at the moment. Mr. Trump, will your elimination of birthright citizenship be retroactive? And, if it is, will I be one of the "good" ones allowed to return after I'm deported?
Your website says, "End Birthright Citizenship. This remains the biggest magnet for illegal immigration."
We'll get back to that "magnet" thing in a moment, but here's what the U.S. Constitution says: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."
The Supreme Court has pretty much said the 14th Amendment means what it plainly says, though historians say it didn't necessarily have in mind immigrants here of their own free will. It was adopted to stop various states — you know who you are — from denying rights to freed slaves after the Civil War. But the 14th also made me and a whole lot of people like me possible. So, this matter of retroactivity is more than theoretical. As regular readers know, my parents were undocumented, though I was born in the United States.
Yes, in the words Jeb Bush borrowed from the xenophobes, I'm an "anchor baby." Wait — he now says he was talking about Asians. Whatever. Get used to the idea, Mr. Trump, you'll need a constitutional amendment to undo the 14th to get rid of us, whether our roots are Mexican or Chinese.
My parents — born in Zacatecas and Guanajuato — came to this country separately, met in California, married and had three sons. They gained legal residency sometime after I started school. And before and after, they were, Mr. Trump, paying many of the same taxes you do — though perhaps at a higher rate since they didn't have tax attorneys. Oh, and though this wouldn't have stopped you from calling them this, they were never unemployed or criminals. This is actually the norm for immigrants.
Oh, right; their sons fed at the trough of public schools — the ones my parents' taxes supported. At some point, they collected Medicare and Social Security, but they paid into those as well. And their sons certainly have at exponentially higher amounts — you know, because of our public educations, which included college.
Right, my parents' belated green cards would have given me a leg up toward legal residency. But since I hadn't gone through that process when I enlisted in the Navy (1973-77), am I in trouble? Did I serve under false pretenses?
Ordinarily, I'd dismiss your rants. But every time conventional wisdom has it that you're about to flame out, you get more popular. And, frankly, many of your fellow candidates are starting to sound like you. Even if you don't win, maybe you win. And in a Trump or Trump-like presidency we might still have a GOP Congress, thanks to the miracle of gerrymandering.
Prudence dictates that I take you seriously.
So another thought occurs. There are about 11.3 million undocumented immigrants here. And, by the way, the flow from Mexico has pretty much been at net zero for a bit now. Also, by the way, most undocumented folks came here to work. But since we've made coming and going difficult, about 7 percent of U.S. students, K-12, have at least one parent who is an undocumented immigrant — 13 percent in both Texas and California. So says the Pew Research Center.
By the way, undocumented folks are 5.1 percent of the workforce and contribute more than $12 billion annually to Social Security benefits they aren't eligible to collect.
Back to those 11.3 million undocumented immigrants — OK, one more "by the way." Only a little more than half are Mexicans. Anyway, though you say you will do this in a "humane" way, will Americans recognize their country if authorities scour cities, counties and hamlets for 11.3 million who don't "belong?"
Just for the record, I'm taking you quite seriously. Everyone should.

The Awesome Foundation
Becoming a Beluga in Northern Manitoba, Canada
In July of 2013, a group of art graduates called WHALE is returning to the northernmost parts of Manitoba to continue their adventures with Canada's beluga whales. Their project: Becoming Beluga, to create a suit of wearable artwork that resembles a beluga and allows the wearer to don the whale's appearance. Can a human be accepted into the pod? Can we break the barriers of communication? WHALE will construct the suit using underwater cameras, a speaker on the top of the head, and hydrophones for ears, among other things. The experience can be recorded for later. AF Winnipeg is excited to award WHALE $1000 for their April grant, and look forward to hearing all about their adventures come summer.

In Frankfurt and without a car?
Indeed, it is a real nonsense to travel in one of the largest cities of the European automobile country No.1 without a car.The size of Frankfurt, as well as the number of places to visit, is too huge for a different mode of transportation. Therefore, rent a decent car at the rental station at the Rhein-Main airport, and welcome to Goethe's homeland.
The city's attractions
It is hard to name the main attraction of Frankfurt am Main, if talking about historical monuments. The city was almost completely destroyed during the war, and there are no buildings older than 50 years. Well, almost no. Something did survive.
Römer.
It is the building of the old town hall. Of course, it also suffered from bombing, but was carefully renewed. So, despite modern decoration, Römer is still one of the most significant secular buildings of the Gothic style and at the same time an easily recognizable symbol of the city. Its crow-stepped gable is known to every German. After all, it was here that the elections of the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire and the coronations of German kings took place in the old days.
Goethe House.
It was wiped off the face of the earth alongside with the entire Grosser Hirschgraben street during the allied air raid. But later it was scrupulously and accurately renovated: according to the memories of the friends of the family and the notes of the poet himself. The furniture and paintings are authentic: they were carefully taken away, and, which is more important, they were well hidden – that is why they survived.
Every year thousands of tourists visit the house-museum of the great German lyric writer.
Because Goethe's name is national pride.
The embankment of the museums.
Even if you do not witness the 'Night of the Museums' in the spring or the 'Museum Embankment Festival' at the end of summer, you still should come here. It will cost more, but you will be able to see the Icon Museum and the Sculpture Museum, the constantly changing expositions of the Museum of World Cultures and the German Museum of Architecture, as well as the German Film Museum and the Museum for the Communication, which houses the world's largest collection of postage stamps.
Iron Bridge.
The pedestrian bridge over the Main was jointly built in October 1869. As soon as the construction costs (120 thousand guilders – rather expensive at that time) paid off, the bridge was transferred to the city. It is curious that they were saving up this sum kreutzer by kreutzer - it was the cost of crossing the bridge. And it took them around 17 years, during which all shareholders were regularly paid 5% per annum from the sum invested. And when the money paid off completely - the fee for the use of the bridge was immediately abolished. As it happens.
Main Tower.
A skyscraper, not the highest one even for Frankfurt - there are at least three buildings which are higher. But it is very beautiful, and for those who want to see the city in its full splendor, there is an observation platform at the height of 200 meters. A restaurant and a bar are a few floors down.
Betman Park.
This is one of the best sights of the city, which was used to be privately owned not long ago. The famous banking family of Betman gave Frankfurt a park and a mansion, which impress with their magnificence. Generally, everything here is like everywhere – lush flower beds, well-groomed alleys, shady trees, but there is something special: a Chinese garden, designed in compliance with the feng shui principles. There is even a pagoda in the center of the park.
Zeil, Braubachstrasse, Alt-Sachsenhausen, and Wertheim Village.
Zeil is a famous shopping street with many stores where you can buy all sorts of souvenirs: handicrafts, delicious treats, and magnets on the fridge, of course.
Braubachstrasse is waiting for antique lovers in its antiques stores, where, if you are lucky enough, you can find a truly unique thing at a completely ridiculous price. You just need to watch carefully.
The flea market in Alt-Sachsenhausen offers even more interesting stuff. Although the market works only on Saturdays, you can find on its shelves 'all the wonders of the world'. If you spend all day at its counters, you would definitely need a truck.
Well, those who were going to include a full-scale raid in order to fill up the closet, we advise you to visit Wertheim Village. It is an outlet located an hour's drive from the city. More than a hundred stores of leading European and international brands. So it's better to postpone a visit here until the last days of the trip. Otherwise, you will risk not to see anything else. Discounts are 60%.
"A man with a hammer."
Finally, one of the kinetic sculptures by Jonathan Borofsky, which are located in many world's major cities. His Frankfurt sculpture is made of aluminum and steel, is almost 23 meters high and weighs 32 tons.

Cleaning upholstery is not like cleaning carpets as the fabrics are far more delicate and your skin is in contact with it. It takes years of experience to master the cleaning of upholstery, which is something that we have accomplished and why clients trust us with their fine fabrics.
I have personally tested every brand of fabric protector out there and know I'm using the very best. Unlike a franchise or a furniture store using a product for profit reasons, I use only the best products that I feel are going to deliver results.
I've been called a magician! I can't tell you how many times. My education in the industry, along with understanding the chemistry and science of a stain and the ability to manipulate it, sets my skills apart from most in the industry.
Pet stains are a common problem, yet can be a big issue. I offer several services to help combat the situation. I use UV light technology to expose the issues along with have several methods to address and fix the areas of concern.
I'm one of the few that has a program to take care of your outdoor upholstery. I typically pick up in the Fall, bleach and clean, add waterproofing if you'd like, bag and deliver back to you, ready for storing until the Spring.

Kanye West Quietly Marries Another White Woman, Her Name Is Bianca Censori
Bianca Censori is an architectural designer at West's Yeezy brand.

Kanye West is back in headlines again. This time, the rapper has fans and internet detractors raising an eyebrow at his new wife. According to TMZ, West, who now performs under the moniker "Ye," married Yeezy designer Bianca Censori in a secret wedding.
The couple tied the knot Jan. 12, but the ceremony wasn't exactly legal given that the pair have yet to file for their marriage certificate. Photos obtained by the outlet captured Ye and Censori walking into the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills Thursday. In one picture, Kanye was wearing what appeared to be a wedding band on his left hand.
Sources close to the pair said that Ye has been happily in love with Censori. Since the ceremony, the Late Registration producer has been wearing the ring to "symbolizes his commitment" to her, insiders added.
After the wedding, Kanye and Censori reportedly honeymooned at the Amangiri, a fancy five-star hotel located in Canyon Point, Utah, according to theDaily Mail. During their romantic vacation, the married couple stopped by the hotel's lavish Aman Spa where they enjoyed special Navajo-inspired treatments.
Earlier this month, Kanye dropped a new song dedicated to Bianca
Kanye's bizarre wedding comes just two weeks after he dropped a new song dedicated to his wife called "Censori Overload."
The Donny Hathaway sampled track was originally shared via his Instagram account Dec. 7. In the song, West talks about the controversy surrounding his "Death Con 3″ remark, which got him booted off Twitter in October of last year.
"Tweeted 'death con', now we past three," he raps in the song.
Further along in the tune, the Chicago rapper references his divorce from reality TV star Kim Kardashian. In the quick verse, Kanye mentions that in the past, he has woken up to several "'I can't do this anymore' texts" from his former wife of six years. The song ends with a soundbite from Ye's viral interview with far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, where he professed his "love" for Hitler.
Here's what we know about Ye and Censori's budding romance story so far.
Who is Bianca Censori?
Bianca Censori is an architectural designer at West's Yeezy brand. She's been working with the company since November 2020, according to the New York Post. Censori hails from Melbourne, Australia, and now lives in Los Angeles, presumably with the Grammy-winning producer.
After graduating high school, Censori launched her own jewelry brand called Nylons Jewellery. "She went on to become a design consultant at Kelektiv and a student architect at DP Toscano Architects from July 2017 to June 2020 before starting her career at Yeezy," the publication noted.
Censori is naturally a brunette, but in photos of her recent outing with Ye at the Waldorf Astoria, she donned a short blonde look.
How did Kanye and Bianca meet?
It's unclear when the pair met, but some sources believe their relationship blossomed when Censori joined the Yeezy team in 2020.
Social media reacts to the news
When news of Kanye's wedding hit the media, social media lit up with all sorts of reactions. Some fans congratulated the revered producer. A few social media users felt as though Censori favored Kim Kardashian.
"Kanye West new wife look like Kim K," wrote one user, while another Twitter goer chimed in," Kanye West's new wife sure looks like someone he should get over."
Kim and Kanye settled their divorce back in November of last year. Ye went on to briefly date model Julia Fox before they called it quits. Recently, the rapper was romantically liked to Brazilian model Juliana Nalú, but their relationship was short-lived. Nalú parted ways with the rapper shortly after his antisemitic remarks caused a stir online.

Q: To calculate $[\mathbb Q(\sum_{j=1}^ka_j^{1/n_j}) : \mathbb Q]$ , when $a_i , n_i$ are positive integers with $a_1^{1/n_1}$ not an integer Let $a_1 , n_1$ be positive integers such that $a_1^{1/n_1}$ is not an integer . Then I can show that for any positive integers $a_2,...,a_k,n_2,...,n_k$ , $\sum_{j=1}^ka_j^{1/n_j}$ is an irrational number .
My question is , can I  determine  the extension degree $[\mathbb Q(\sum_{j=1}^ka_j^{1/n_j}) : \mathbb Q]$ ?  Or at least , is it possible to give a good upper and lower bounds ( I know it is bounded below by $2$) ?

A: You cannot be guaranteed a lower bound greater than 2.  For instance let $a_i = 2^{i}$ and  $n_i = 2i$
Then each $a_i^{\frac{1}{n_i}} = (2^i)^{\frac{1}{2i}} = 2^{\frac{1}{2}}= \sqrt2$


This week, we had a moment with Calum Chace, an acclaimed author and speaker on how AI (artificial intelligence) is set to re-shape the global economic and social landscape.
Robots will eventually take our jobs but we shouldn't fear it. In fact, we should welcome it because it will give humans more time for 'the important stuff' – playing, learning and exploring.
Humans are in control of AI; currently, there is no machine that is conscious and possesses willpower, for example, they can be the best in the world at playing chess but are not aware that they are playing it.
There is no reason why AI can't be used to overcome the necessity of death.

The Story Behind This Dramatic Photo.
AgLogic has developed a comprehensive Stewardship program.
since it has a minimal impact on beneficial cotton insects.
Root-knot nematode is one of the most destructive pests in Georgia peanut production. The problem is further complicated by its wide host range, dwindling control options and particularly challenging management in sandier type soils.
One of the newest nematode weapons on the market is actually an old weapon – AgLogic aldicarb. Most growers remember it as "Temik," which was most recently marketed by Bayer CropScience.
The story behind this dramatic photo. Aldicarb treated vs. base seed treated.
The pesticide, aldicarb, is making a comeback to control insect pests and nematodes in cotton. Registered under the trade name AgLogic 15G, this new product is expected to equal Temik.
After rain damaged it in the last two years, this looks to be a bumper year for the South Carolina cotton crop, just as a Clemson University economist predicted before planting even began. Cotton, peanut and soybean producers in South Carolina will soon have aldicarb to use in their fight against insects and nematodes.
Growers will soon be able to purchase AgLogic 15G Aldicarb Pesticide – a product which is essentially the same as Temik in formulation and performance. Since Temik was withdrawn from the market in 2011, growers have struggled to find an effective replacement for nematode and early season pest control.
Gus Lorenz, Arkansas Extension IPM Specialist: " The best treatment I've looked at this year has been aldicarb. It's performing as well as it did in the 'old days' when it was called Temik. I think it's doing as good as it always did but we've just forgotten how well it performed. With resistance issues, the seed treatments also are showing a little wear and tear, and that really makes the aldicarb shine."

I'm finding that areas with fine sand with black sand mixed in it doesn't get as deep as bbs/fbs machines. Now where it is a coarser type sand I'm finding targets(some are gold) at depths that are stunning!
I don't like how I can't seem to get the elongated response that I can set the Explorer up to get. I've played around with the response but can't duplicate it.

Huawei P30 Indepth Review : Is this the Best Flagship of 2019?
Posted Date: 30 Apr 2019 |Updated: 30-Apr-2019 |Category: Android Phones |Author: Deepak Mathews |Member Level: Gold |Points: 120 |
The Huwaei P30 pro is finally here, and it comes with the best camera specification available on a smartphone. It is the first phone to come with a 5X optical zoom and how they implemented this, is just so amazing. P30 Pro is the best phone with a great balance of camera and performance. Read our review to find out more.
Huawei is a Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer that also manufactures smartphones. The company has released several iconic flagship devices like the Huawei Mate 20, Huawei Mate X foldable smartphone, Huawei P20 Pro, etc. Now the Chinese manufacturer is tightening its grip on the smartphone market by releasing the all new Huawei P30 Pro - the successor to the P20 series. Some call it the pixel camera killer.
But does it really go the extra mile to kill the pixel's camera department?
Speaking of which, the Huawei P30 Pro is the best balance of camera and software optimization I have ever seen on a smartphone to this day.
So without further ado, let's dig in :
Huwaei P30 Pro
40W charger
Type C USB cable
Basic clear case
The 2019 smartphone market is all about design choices. Manufacturers are constantly experimenting with new colors and fresh materials etc. to make their phone stand out from the rest. Phones that make your eyes pop out, ones that will make you buy it at that right moment.
If you've already used the Mate 20, you might not see a major difference in the feel and appearance of the device. Nevertheless, the P30 pro comes with a unique feel to it and it has the famous dew drop notch. This kind of notch is much more refined and less intrusive than the one we see on Pixel and on the iPhones.
But this comes with a slight disadvantage. The Huawei P30 Pro features only a single camera(more on this below) and has no secure 3D face unlocking or infrared sensors on board.
The P30 Pro comes in 3 different color variants: Amber Sunrise, Breathing crystal, Aurora(my personal favorite) and other standard black and white models. The smartphone features a glass-sandwich design, prominent on most flagships these days. Both the front and back glass is made toughened glass (Huawei still fails to tell the name of the supplier) to offer great protection from accidental falls.
The device doesn't come with a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Although the P30 comes with a headphone jack. It seems that the 3.5mm port is a no go route for flagship devices these days. There is also the absence of the speaker grill on top of the device. Huawei like other manufacturers like Xiaomi and Vivo has decided to place the earpiece speaker under the display.
The screen vibrates to deliver sound waves and during my personal tests found it is pretty similar to the traditional earpiece we find on older smartphones. This works on an "electromagnetic levitation technology" to deliver sound to the user.
Like most premium range smartphones these days, the Huawei P30 Pro comes with an under the display optic fingerprint scanner and it is fairly accurate in my opinion as long you press it with some force and for 1-2 secs.
On the back, the device has a Huawei branded logo at the lower left side. There is a slight camera bump which becomes prominent the moment you place it on a table top. Yes, the device wobbles a lot. However, many smartphones have this issue including the Mi 9 from Xiaomi. There is also a USB Type-C port and hybrid sim slot at the bottom end.
The device weighs around 192g, which is about 3g heavier than the Mate 20 Pro. Huawei P30 Pro measures 158x73.4x8.41.
The Huawei P30 pro comes with a 6.4-inch OLED Panel, common in premium range phones. As I have mentioned earlier in the design section of this review, the P30 Pro comes with an optical in-display fingerprint scanner.
The display comes with 1080x2340 resolution which is a bit lower than the ones we see on Samsung devices whose top-tier flagships comes with QHD resolution. The colors have good sharpness and contrast to it. The display feels vibrant and easily visible during sunny hours The display also supports ALWAYS ON technology. The display brightness on auto reached 605 nits whereas the maximum possible brightness is limited to 507 nits during manual adjustment.
The OLED Panel has an aspect ratio 19.5:9 and that combined with 1080x2340 resolution results in a pixel density of 399 ppi.
The Huawei P30 pro comes with Leica Powered Quad Camera setup. There is a group of three cameras on the left side. The top one is 20MP which has an ultra-wide f/2.2 aperture, the next one is the main 40MP RYYB "SuperSpectrum" sensor with f/1.6 aperture and the last one is 8MP f/3.3 periscope OIS lens for 5x optical zoom fitted inside a square. The LED flash and the ToF (Time of flight) sensor has been placed under the glass.
The ToF sensor will also allow the user to use AR based applications and play games which are motion controlled. However, this is only a new trend and very few Android games support this feature as of now.
Another important and notable feature of this smartphone is its night sight :
We all know that Google's image processing technology can't be compared to Huawei's software. It's more like comparing apples to oranges. The Pixels camera is simply the all-rounder when it comes to the camera. It's not rocket science. But we're talking abt RAW power. The Huawei P30 Pro simply has more cameras in its favor to capture an insane amount of photographic information. The latest Pixel series simply lacks this.
In photography, more cameras mean more details and more details means better shots. Shots that make you want to post on social media. But this doesn't mean that having 3, 4, 5 or even 6 cameras will make a huge difference. The software that supports it should also be highly optimized to process the images and add details to the shots.
Both the software and the camera onboard go hand in hand with photography. The Huawei P30 pro analyzes different parts of the images and automatically adjusts the shutter speed to ensure all objects are well lighted.
I have tested the night mode of Huawei P30 Pro in extreme low light conditions along with the Pixel 3XL. During my tests, the P30 Pro consistently took better shots compared to the Pixel 3 XL and the processing time was also much lesser than the Pixel 3 XL. This is a great feat since smartphones with more cameras tend to take some time processing. Though the P30 Pro took better shots than the Google Pixel 3 XL, I still do think that the there's nothing close to the algorithmic magic of the Pixel Google camera.
As of now, P30 Pro is the best camera you can get in a smartphone.
The Huawei P30 Pro comes with its own version of Android 9.0 Pie which is Emui 9.1, the new version released when the smartphone was launched. This new version of EMUI brings a host of cool new features even though there is only a small increase in version number.
Huawei has introduced a new filesystem called EROFS, which promised to improve random read speeds by about 20%. Another notable feature of the EMUI 9.1 is the new GPU Turbo 3.0. With this, games on EMUI 9.1 will be 10-15% faster than the previous version of the OS.
Besides the above-mentioned features, EMUI 9.1 also comes with AR Measure(which works with the help of data from the ToF sensor), Vlogging tools, OneHOP, Workout Planner, etc.
Storage & Performance
Now coming to the performance side of things, The P30 Pro comes with a HiSilicon Kirin 980 (7nm)SoC, which is the current flagship Soc of 2019. The Kirin 980 is an octa-core processor with 2.6 GHz, Dual core, Cortex A76 + 1.92 GHz, Dual core, Cortex A76 + 1.8 GHz, Quad core, Cortex A55 configuration. It also has the latest Mali G76 MP-10 GPU, which with the GPU Turbo 3.0, performed well during our tests.
The device comes in 128/256/512 GB variants and has a nano-memory card slot for additional storage. The nano SD card slot can handle 256GB of storage, so advanced users can effectively get 1TB of storage using a top-end Huawei P30 PRO and a 256GB SD card. The base model of the device comes with 6GB of RAM, while the top-notch model has 8GB of RAM.
So now comes the final question: Is the Huawei P30 Pro the perfect flagship smartphone of 2019? Well, for me at least, for now, it's a definite YES. I very much fell in love with this device the moment I set my eyes on them. I mean who wouldn't with all that shiny glass and breathtaking design choices.
The P30 Pro has got several new tricks up its sleeve especially the camera. The camera is simply unstoppable according to me. In some scenarios, it even kills the Pixel 3 XL. But still, I have an ever so slight liking to the Google cam as it produced consistent results, and going by the trends, the upcoming Google Pixel 4 will defeat P30 pro with its software magic.
The P30 PRO comes in India with a price tag of Rs.71,990.


For fashionistas, racegoers and punters alike, this Winter racing season is going to be bigger and better than any other year, and here's why. Firstly, there's Race Weekend being two days of back to back racing with the Hot 91 Ladies Oaks Day followed by the UBET Moreton Cup the very next day. For someone like me who loves dressing up, owns a racehorse and doesn't mind a drink, that's like doing Dreamworld two days in a row. Minus the fact that Dreamworld doesn't serve Champagne, nor allow you to bet so I guess, it's actually not as good. Anyway, moving on, exactly 28 days later we celebrate the Scott McMahon Electrical Caloundra Cup. A months' worth of fun times in my opinion.
The Sunshine Coast Turf Club are giving away 2 x tickets in the Oaks Hotels & Resort Trackside Marquee on the Scott McMahon Caloundra Cup Day valued at $350. Be treated to Canapes, a 3 course sit down lunch and a 5-hour beverage package for you and a friend. Post your best race day photo on Instagram & Facebook do the following to go in the draw.
For the female gender, the Hot 91 Ladies Oaks Day is like no other in the racing calendar. We wake up, makeup, throw a dress on, style our fascinator, and walk out the door feeling like royalty. There are no other events on the Sunshine Coast where cracking a bottle of bubbles at 8 am is considered completely acceptable, in fact, highly encouraged. On top of sipping bubbles before Midday, we get to dress up to the nines AND wear a hat! Where else on the Sunshine Coast can you dress up, bet and day drink in style?
If you're looking for something extra special, you've missed out on the marquees (you must get in early people!), however, there is still availability in the Favourites Function Room. Here you'll indulge in a 3 course sit down luncheon, drinks package, and Racebook in air-conditioned comfort with a separate bar and tote. Or if you're more of a 'let's relax in the sun and watch the horses run past' sort of person, then general admission is for you. The Turf Club has really put it on for you this year with a standalone Pimms Bar and a Furphy Beer stall to ensure you remain hydrated all day. Food stalls from Zambrero Mexican, One world food truck and yummy wood fire pizza. Just a side note, if you're looking for me that day, there's a very high chance you'll find me at the Pimm's bar.
The Sunshine Coast Turf Club has introduced 4 categories for this years Morayfield Shopping Centre Fashions on the Field. Fabulous Filly's will represent the Ladies ages 18-39 category, marvellous Mare's in the Ladies 40+ category, the third category are for captivating couples and of course the shining Stallion's category, our best dressed Male. We have Kerrilly Watts from Ed Harry and Kathryn Edmonds from Style Magazine as our judges. Click here for further information and requirements, and don't forget to register between 10:30 am – 12 pm on the day!
Head to the chill out zone to see Alexis Kent Sawford between 10:30 am – 12 pm and then again between races until 4 pm. At 4:30 pm, make your way to the main stage where you'll be treated to the epic sounds of George Sheppard, Amy Sheppard, Emma Sheppard, Michael Butler, Jason Bovino and Dean Gordon from the band Sheppard (obviously). So say Geronimo, say, Geronimo… Bombs away, bombs away! Don't forget there are free buses frequently stopping from Caloundra to Noosa, so you don't need to worry about driving or overindulging on the Furphys.
The richest race day the Sunshine Coast Turf Club has ever held. A family-friendly event, the UBET Moreton Cup will cater for a broader audience from serious punters to fashionistas, families, couples and anyone looking for a fun day out. With black type racing and over $1m worth of prize money on offer, it's fair to say this is quite the serious race event.
Whether you're a punter or not, there is some serious racing happening here on Saturday. With two Group 2 races and five $100,000 listed races, this is the best the coast has seen. For those of you aren't overly savvy with horse racing, group and listed races are considered to reflect the highest standard of racing according to the Australia Racing Board. Group 2 races require prize money of at least $175,000. Cheers to that!
On Saturday 2nd June, I have a makeup appointment at 5 am and hair at 7 am as I plan to be the first person through those gates come 10:30 am. Of course, I have my Ambassador duties that day, but I also plan to have at least two bets on every race. I like to keep it simple. I'm not one to study the form guide until the pages fall apart, but I also don't choose a horse because the jockey is wearing pink. For me, a bet each way and a boxed trifecta is the perfect bet considering the time and effort (or lack thereof) I study and research the form guide.
Again, there will be all the wonderful food and beverage stalls available for your convenience. Pimms, Furphy Beer and Woodfire Pizza. While you're sipping on your beer and stuffing your face with pizza, rock out to Pat Nicholson playing live from 10:30 am – 4:30 pm.
That's it for now! Remember to post your best photo on social media to go into the draw to win 2 x tickets to the Caloundra Cup in style. I'll be taking over the Sunshine Coast Turf Club Instagram account so stay tuned into Instagram stories to see the happenings in and around the track over Race Weekend!

Su cargador tiene una capacidad de 30 cartuchos. Su cadencia de disparo teórica es de 680 disparos/minuto, mientras que la cadencia efectiva es de 120 disparos/minuto.

El ánima del cañón del M21 tiene un estriado estándar, mientras que el ánima del cañón del M21B tiene un estiado poligonal. El ánima del cañón estándar tiene seis estrías a dextrógiro. También está disponible una versión con estriado poligonal en octágono, con cuatro estrías a dextrógiro. Ambos cañones tienen el ánima cromada para extender su vida útil.

El fusil tiene un alza pivotante con ajustes para 300 m y 500 m, así como un punto de mira. Un conjunto de rieles Picatinny en el guardmanos permiten la instalación de punteros láser o linternas tácticas. El M21 es un arma modular, que puede configurarse según la misión encomendada.

Variantes
M21 A - Versión con cañón de 460 mm.
M21 ABS - Versión con cañón de 460 mm y rieles Picatinny.

M21 BS - Versión con cañón de 375 mm y rieles Picatinny.
M05 N - Versión con cañón de 500 mm, que dispara el cartucho 7,62 x 51 OTAN.

Producción
El M21 fue aceptado oficialmente el 29 de abril de 2004 por los militares de Serbia y Montenegro como el sucesor del Zastava M70 de 7,62 mm.

En 2004, el entonces Ministerio de Defensa de Serbia y Montenegro, ordenó a Zastava 500 fusiles de asalto M21. La producción en serie del nuevo fusil comenzó el 1 de septiembre de 2004 y 5.000 fusiles fueron producidos en 2004 con la designación M21.

En 2005, un lote de fusiles M21, que cuesta 150.000 euros, fue recibido por Macedonia, que fue el primer cliente extranjero del M21.

En 2006 y 2007, los fusiles de asalto M21 fueron vistos en manos de las fuerzas irakíes y los contratistas militares privados durante la guerra de Irak. En marzo de 2008, Irak ordenó 2.000 fusiles M21 para equipar a su ejército.

Contentious issues in legal proceedings are sometimes resolved with the help of an expert witness. For example, in matters involving heavy vehicle crashes, the load may have been improperly secured, the brakes may have been out of adjustment, or the driver may have taken a bend at too great a speed. In such cases, it requires specialised knowledge to determine the cause of an incident and to apportion blame. By getting an expert witness involved early in the proceedings it may be possible to avoid a court appearance, or to at least reduce the number of issues in contention.
Advantia's expert reports have often helped the parties to circumvent court proceedings or provided much-needed clarity to the judge.
How does one use an expert witness?
An expert is engaged by the solicitor acting for one of the parties. The solicitor briefs the expert in writing and asks for his/her written opinion on a series of contentious issues. The expert's report may be disclosed to the other party, in which case it becomes evidence. If each party engages its own expert, each expert may be asked to give an opinion on the other expert's report.
The experts may even be asked to meet and decide on which points are mutually agreed and which remain in dispute. If the matter proceeds to court, each party's barrister may choose to cross-examine the other party's expert. In some cases the judge may find it helpful to directly question both experts simultaneously. If expert witnesses are knowledgeable and act with integrity, their involvement in the proceedings will be highly productive.

By Gloria E. Reeder
In Volunteer leadership
Together, organizations will engage and prepare Girl Scout councils and troops across the country to participate in the American Rocketry Challenge and model rockets to enhance exploration of STEM careers.
Posted: October 27, 2021 at 12:14 p.m. MDT|Update: 20 minutes ago
NEW YORK, October 27, 2021 / PRNewswire / – Girl Scouts United States (GSUSA) and the Aerojet Rocketdyne Foundation are teaming up to support and encourage Girl Scout Councils and Troops with hobbyist rocket activities and the opportunity to compete in the American rocket challenge. With the additional support of the National Rocket Association and Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) Girl Scouts in middle and high school will have access to meaningful skills-building experiences and gain insight into potential career paths.
Girl Scouts, the Aerojet Rocketdyne Foundation and the Aerospace Industries Association unite to engage and prepare Girl Scout councils and troops across the country to participate in the American Rocketry Challenge and model rockets to improve exploring STEM careers.
Through this partnership, Girl Scouts will strengthen the important STEM skills and techniques needed to build rockets, work in teams and solve problems – an essential and foundational learning for the next generation of women leaders in the aerospace industry and the workforce. STEM work in the broad sense.
The sports rocket is aerospace engineering on a smaller scale. This increasingly popular hobby and educational tool dates back to 1957, when it was developed to provide a safe and inexpensive way for younger generations to learn the design, creation, and other key principles of flying. rocket. As young women continue to be under-represented in aerospace and STEM careers, GSUSA and the Aerojet Rocketdyne Foundation are committed to ensuring that girls across the country are able to explore these innovative areas of interest.
Data collected by the American Rocketry Challenge shows that participants have pursued diverse careers in various STEM fields. It also illustrates the need to encourage girls to pursue these interests from an early age. Starting this fall, boards will have access to tools organized by GSUSA, the American Rocketry Challenge, and the Aerojet Rocketdyne Foundation, including tips and materials for designing model rocket experiments, for example, the team building, recruiting volunteers and subject matter experts, fundraising, competitive and uncompetitive opportunities, and more to help troops explore the dynamic world of rockets and aerospace engineering.
"We are delighted that councils and troops across the United States can access these incredible tools to bring sports rockets to life with their daughters," said the Acting CEO of GSUSA. Judith Batty. "We are deeply grateful to the GSUSA Board Member Eileen Drake, CEO and President of Aerojet Rocketdyne, for identifying this unique opportunity to build on Girl Scouts already extensive STEM programming. As our middle and high school students begin to envision their future career paths, Girl Scouts is here to arm them with valuable resources and impactful hands-on activities that allow them to experiment, push boundaries and learn valuable skills. These experiences will prepare so many girls to do more than just build model rockets; they will gain a deeper understanding of gravity, principles of flight, aerodynamics and how to solve problems under pressure. "
Since his appointment to the GSUSA Board of Directors in January 2020, Drake was instrumental in identifying the role these organizations can play in supporting our country's growing needs for a STEM workforce and female leadership.
Advice and resources will be available for councils and troops from November, 1st. Interested Girl Scout troops can register to participate in the American rocket challenge, the largest annual rocket competition in the world, for a chance to win $ 100,000 in price. Youth teams in Grades 6 to 12 will work together in the same way aerospace engineers do. Competing teams will experience the engineering process and participate in qualifying flights with thousands of peers across the country for the opportunity to participate in a "final flight" event in. May 2022. The top-ranked teams in the final will receive a scholarship and additional funding for their rocket education. The deadline for Register now to be in competition is 1st December, 2021.

There are sections on: my journey to parenthood, general musings, and travel. If anything connects with you I would love to hear from you.


Early harvest and ensilage of forage sorghum infected with ergot (Claviceps africana) reduces the risk of livestock poisoning.
Sorghum ergot produces dihydroergosine (DHES) and related alkaloids, which cause hyperthermia in cattle. Proportions of infected panicles (grain heads), leaves and stems were determined in two forage sorghum crops extensively infected 2 to 4 weeks prior to sampling and the panicles were assayed for DHES. Composite samples from each crop, plus a third grain variety crop, were coarsely chopped and half of each sealed in plastic buckets for 6 weeks to simulate ensilation. The worst-infected panicles contained up to 55 mg DHES/kg, but dilution reduced average concentrations of DHES in crops to approximately 1 mg/kg, a relatively safe level for cattle. Ensilation significantly (P = 0.043) reduced mean DHES concentrations from 0.85 to 0.46 mg/kg.

Is it hard to become an actor in LA?
Getting an acting job is not that difficult. You just need to be prepared to work hard and to know how to prepare yourself before you begin to audition. Of course you need to do the legwork before you audition, but if you want to be an actor in Los Angeles, below are some tips to help you prepare.
Is it too late to start an acting career?
It's never too late to start acting.
In fact, many well-known names of the big screen didn't find fame until later in life. Just because some people are younger than you or may have been taking acting lessons since nursery school, it doesn't mean you shouldn't get the opportunity to shine in the spotlight.
Do famous actors have to audition?
Many believe that famous actors just get handed roles without an audition. But that's certainly not the case. Actors audition at all points in their careers, regardless of skill or level of fame.
Can anyone be a good actor?
Anyone can train to be an actor, anyone can learn the skills required. Personally, I think if acting ISN'T the capacity to BELIEVE in the imaginary and act upon your capacity for delusion, then yes, it's possible that anyone can be an actor. You can learn it, you just might not be the best in the world.

How can I be an extra on TV?
You have to fill in a form giving details about yourself, your background, and proof that you're eligible to work in the UK. You'll be asked to provide your measurements and upload a photo or photographs of yourself – these can be taken on a smartphone, there's absolutely no need to splash out on professional photos.
Can an actor be shy?
"A shy person has a heck of an obstacle to overcome," Susan Russell, assistant professor of theatre, said. "A reserved person, however, can most certainly be a great actor." So if you're shy, you're probably too scared to audition for a few people, let alone get up on stage in front of an audience.
What percentage of actors actually get big?
Just two percent of jobbing actors make enough to earn a living, a new report has shown. Mathematicians at London's Queen Mary University worked up figures dating back to the 1880s to come the their conclusion, studying almost 2.5 million screen actors.
Where do struggling actors live in LA?
Quite possibly the most popular neighborhood in The Valley among struggling actors. Many artists and showbiz folk live in North Hollywood, otherwise known as NoHo. There's always something happening here, and you can find a play or other type of performance to go to pretty much any day of the week.

Do you need to live in LA to be an actor?
While you may eventually have to move to LA for your career, that doesn't mean you can't get started right away in your hometown. However, at some point once your career starts to have momentum, you will have to come to LA, or at least NY, to go on auditions and meet with agents.
Where are most auditions in LA?
Your auditions will likely be concentrated around Hollywood, the Valley (mostly Burbank and Studio City), and Westside locations like Santa Monica and Culver City.

A front bumper spoiler looks pretty nice on a car, but a lot of car owners find it quite cumbersome. It's not uncommon for a factory front bumper spoiler to scrape against curbs, sloped driveways, and more. As a result, it gets pretty banged up and it's pretty costly to replace.
A lot of car owners deal with this problem by just removing the factory spoiler on their front bumper.
While there are some aerodynamic benefits to having a spoiler (they can improve highway fuel economy, for instance), the benefits are pretty minor. This especially rings true when you factor in the inconveniences that come with having a factory spoiler on the front bumper.
If the factory spoiler on your front bumper is damaged or always dragging, you certainly don't have to replace it. Many people just remove them from their trucks or SUVs.
What if Your Car Looks Weird Without the Factory Spoiler?
If you remove the factory spoiler from your car, there's a good chance that the front of your vehicle will look a little different. Sometimes the difference is really minor. Other times, it looks like part of the vehicle is missing, because there are exposed mounting brackets.
If you don't like the way your vehicle looks without the factory spoiler on the front bumper (or if you want to replace the factory front bumper spoiler with something more durable than hard plastic), check out the All-Fit lip kit.
What is the All-Fit Lip Kit?
An All-Fit lip kit will fill the void left by the factory front bumper spoiler. All-Fit offers their bumper lips in 1.5", 2.5", and 3.5" sizes, which means you should be able to cover up any mounting brackets or exposed metal even if you remove a really big spoiler.
Flexibility: The rubber material is flexible, so it'll bend and protect the front bumper if you drag it across a curb or sloped driveway. As a result, it won't crack or make an ugly scraping noise.
