When a visitor first visits your ad, they are directed to the landing page. Consider giving importance to your website home page though, however, the users may prefer an internal site landing page, especially is your ad campaign is long and the ad will visited again and again later on.
Test the length and see if it works for you. (Obviously, readers don't want to get bored reading all that you have crammed in there). Targeting your audience precisely and usage of good, innovative words will help you grab attention.
Keyword research is an important aspect for pay-per-click campaigns. This compliments the optimization, and the ability to achieve top rankings in free search engine lists.
You have no limits set on the number of keywords and / or the search phrases in a pay-per-click campaign. You can add as many as you want and gradually remove the ones you don't need. Don't ever have keywords that do not relate even remotely to your service or product. Make your ad closely relate to the keywords you chose. Make sure there is no 'loose relations' in between the ad and your keyword list.
Create as many ads as you can in a single ad group. Run at least 2 different ads in a week, track them and compare the performance.
Tracking URLs are very useful in a PPC campaign. They are quite easy to set up by making use of an identifier in the URL of your landing page, and they allow you to view in your visitor statistics, the activity of pay-per-click visitors to your site.
Firstly, determine the cost per visitor who visits your site. This is the total profit earned by your website divided by the number of visitors. You can decide the maximum cost you wish to pay for a click on your ad.
What you are achieving is a balance between the ROI or return of investment and the net profit. For this you will need to lower the cost per click. This helps you determine your bidding strategy before you start your campaign.
Online advertising through PPC is here to stay. Advertising pay-per-click through an effective pay-per-click advertising program or a campaign has indeed proven to be an important tool in several businesses-online or otherwise.
Good tips Priya. There is a BIG difference in creating an ad and creating a great ad. Anyone can create an ad. And in some instances, that ad will work just fine for whatever purpose it was created. But if you really want to get the most from your PPC program, you should be adept at creating great ad descriptions that quickly catch potential visitors and entice them to come to your site. It's no easy task.

SMALL-SCALE HORROR FROM POLAR LIGHTS - BATES MANSION KIT FROM HITCHCOCK'S 'PSYCHO'
MAT IRVINE WEEKENDER
A 1:87 (H0) scale building that's especially useful for rail and diorama fans, here is the current version of the Polar Lights 'Bates Mansion' house of horror from the classic shocker movie, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.
The bottom of the box (below) has additional details, a feature that is now common with many Round-2 kits.
Base included
Overall there are 70 parts to the Polar Lights Bates Mansion kit, and it is designed to sit flat on the supplied base. In this case the structure stands almost 150mm (6in) high when fully assembled. However, if you want to go down the movie-history route and have the building perched on a hill - as it appeared in Psycho - the kit also includes the extended stone stairway leading down to the Bates Motel below the mansion, though in this scenario you'd have to find a suitable motel structure kit.
Mansion complete
Note that the base is included, as are the short steps. For the diorama modeller, you also get the full steps that in the movie lead down to the motel. However, the mansion needs raising to accommodate them, in which case the short steps are not used.
Build a hill
If you want to use this feature, you will have to supply your own hill. Polar Lights instructions give some details for the construction of this 'Hilltop Option' with 'Landscaping Tips', including carving a suitable hill from expanded polystyrene, also known as Styrofoam. To that, you'll need to add landscaping elements, such as grass, earth, shrubs and bushes from materials obtainable from any model rail layout suppliers.
The Polar Lights Psycho Bates Mansion features finely engraved surface detail, and also a 'Mother Bates' scale figure, to place in the second-storey window. The memorable structure comes in several shades of grey and tan plastic, and you also get an LED lighting kit for a taste of night-time horror. The windows and drapes are printed on thin, pre-cut acetate sheet. They aren't numbered, but some are of a size that fit in only one location, while positions for the rest are optional.
The LED light
It's used in the shot below so you can see Mother Bates at the window. Note that you need to paint the interior black, so the light doesn't glow through the plastic. It does here slightly, showing as a patch just below the window.
A well-made kit that has a range of uses - as a display for movie buffs, a background building for rail fans, a diorama accessory for the rest of us. The secret to making its final appearance convincing will be in the finish, as detail and painting could turn it into a show-winner. The LED lighting kit is a debatable inclusion, as it really lights only a small area, though placing it behind 'Mother Bates' would seem to be the only logical place for it to go.
Earlier versions of the kit
The box (above) for the first issue of the Polar Lights Psycho Mansion, in 2004. The third issue of the same basic kit (below) was in 2012, a limited edition in a Collector's Tin - it also included a 'pseudo newspaper' with appropriate headlines!
Motel and railroad
An example of the Bates Mansion fitted into a railroad layout, seen a decade ago at the 2003 RCHTA Show in Chicago, now called the iHobby Expo. Note the other building at bottom left, modified from an existing 1:87 H0 kit. This is the Bates Motel that featured in the movie.
The Polar Lights Bates Mansion is available here.
Other horror stuff, including the new kit of 1313 Mockingbird Lane, otherwise known as The Munsters House, by Moebius Models here.
History lesson - earlier versions of the kit
The issue of a Bates Mansion model kit might seem slightly odd, but it does have a precedent that goes back to the model company on which Polar Lights based its name, Aurora. Way back in the 1960s one of Aurora's oddest kits - and this from a model company renowned for odd kits - was a building in H0 scale. This was because the most popular model rail scale is 1:87 (H0) and many model companies made accessories and buildings. To this end Aurora, along with Revell and various specialist railroad modelling companies, made a wide range of H0 scale buildings, including a Colonial House, Ranch House, Church, Railroad Station - and The Addams Family House, at the time, the subject of a long-running TV series.
The Aurora Addams Family House was originally issued 1964-65, and that was it for many decades. Then the new Polar Lights company came along, and playing on its adaption of the original Aurora name, re-engineered and reissued many classic Aurora kits, including the Addams Family House. Then Polar Lights began to extend its range, and began issuing brand-new kits, and so came up with another classic 'house of horror', perhaps the most infamous in movie history, the Bates Mansion.
To match the existing Addams Family House, the Bates Mansion was also made in 1:87 scale, and to date has been issued three times. The parts have been identical each time, just the packaging changed. The first box-art used a colour still from the filming of the movie, making it useful for reference. This kit was issued in 2004. In 2010 the reformed Polar Lights, by now part of Round 2, reissued the kit with another new box design, this time with a colorized black and white image.
In 2012 a third issue was released to celebrate (if that is the right word) the 50th anniversary of the movie premiere. This was a limited edition in a Collector Tin, a method Round 2 has used for many of its kits. This issue used the image from the previous kit, but in black and white, to match the movie. It also contained the LED module, and a reproduction of a supposed local newspaper with suitably grisly headlines.
The movie and the 'reel' mansion
Alfred Hitchcock has been in recent headlines anyway. First came the BBC TV production, The Girl, that centred around the filming of the movie The Birds with Toby Jones as Hitchcock, and his relationship with Tippi Hedren, played by Sienna Miller. Then came the more recent theatrical release, Hitchcock, starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren, this time concentrating on the making of Psycho itself, a plot based on a story by Robert Bloch. The Bates Mansion took centre stage and has become the iconic image for anything involving gothic horror. Intriguingly, the original design for the house was apparently based on an Edward Hopper painting House by the Railroad, a building in Haverstraw, New York, that wasn't known to have had any 'gothic horror' connection at all - it just looked the part!
The 'reel' house used for filming was built on the back lot of Universal Studios. It was a true piece of scenery, as originally only two walls were built, held up with scaffolding and based on a partial existing structure, moved from one of Universal back-lot buildings on 'Colonial Street' to a new location. It was only used for the exterior shots, the interior scenes were made on a film stage. It later appeared in the Psycho sequels, and many other movies and TV series including Larado, Alias Smith and Jones and The Six Million Dollar Man. Where necessary, more walls were built, and it has been re-located twice to different areas of the back lot. More details here.
Psycho was shot in black and white, the story being that the idea of blood from the stabbing was thought to be too off-putting in colour! In reality true Hitchcock fashion meant that most was 'suggested' anyway. Three sequels were made, though generally all thought to be somewhat unnecessarily. However these were shot in colour, so if you want more reference for the house, finding the relevant DVDs could be useful. The oddest movie though has to be the 1988 remake, which used different actors, but was done shot-by-shot, to match the original exactly. It even used the original Bernard Hermann soundtrack, though exactly why it was made this way is something of a mystery.
And that of course isn't all with 'small scale gothic houses of horror' as we now have a third, this time from Moebius Models and it is of course the companion to the Addams Family, the long-awaited 1313 Mockingbird Lane, the family residence of those 'just plain folks', the Munsters. But more of them another time…

TORT 1.8 THE TORT OF DETINUE
DETINUE.
The unlawful detention of chattel of another person who has a right of immediate possession to it.
Refusal to return it upon demand by the owner who is in immediate possession of the property.
The Interference Of Goods Act UK now merges detinue with conversion. In Nigeria, it still exists as a separate tort.
In a detinue action therefore, the plaintiff is suing for specific return of his goods (or the value of his goods if it has been disposed/destroyed already). See Ogiugo and Sons ltd v. Cop, Davies V. Lagos City Council, Koshile V. Folarin, In this case, the defendant who sold the motor vehicle to the plaintiff on credit seized and refused to return when the plaintiff had not fully paid. The Supreme Court held that there was detinue. The Supreme Court emphasized that a demand is very important and the defendant must have refused to return the property.
In WAEC v. Karoye, the plaintiff sat for an exam conducted by the defendant council. The council refused to release his certificate. The claim for detinue was upheld by the Supreme Court. See Shuwa V. Chad Basin Development Authority. Also Cop v. Oguntayo where the appellants sued the defendants for detaining his Mitsubishi vehicle and refusal to return it after a demand. The case of Stitch v. AG Federation where the plaintiff imported a car from overseas. It was impounded by the board of customs and excise at the port. The custom then sold it to the fourth defendant. The plaintiff sued the defendant to return his car. It was held that there was detinue. The court awarded the monetary value of the car.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CONVERSION AND DETINUE.
The refusal to surrender the chattel after demand, is the essence of detinue. In conversion, there need not be demand.
See Agbai v. Okagbue and the cases above.
TORT 1.9 TRESPASS PER SE
TORT 1.7B TORT OF CONVERSION


The lens of the eye focuses light that enters through the pupil. The light rays must be focused precisely onto the retina to form a sharp image. The lens is normally clear, like glass. However, it may become cloudy over time and this is called a cataract. Clouding of the lens is a natural aging process of the eye, and cataracts are a normal finding in people over 60. Cataracts can impair vision by blocking the amount of light entering the eye, making images dimmer. They can also scatter light rays instead of focusing them, making images blurry. Symptoms of glare, halos around lights, or even double vision can be produced by cataracts. Read more about them here.
Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure. It is typically performed while you are awake, but a sedative is given to reduce anxiety. Local anesthetic is used on the eye to numb it for the surgery. No stitches or shots are used. An ultrasound device is used to soften the cataract and remove it from the eye. An intraocular lens implant is then carefully placed in the eye to replace the cloudy lens that was removed. You can read more information on cataract surgery here.
For more information on Cataract Treatment in Chicago, IL call us at (312) 332-4296 today!

MSP-Tool is a VBA-based software tool that evaluates palaeointensity data acquired using the multispecimen protocol (Dekkers and Böhnel, 2006; Fabian and Leonhardt, 2010). It calculates the three ratios according to the commonly adopted protocols, as well as a number of other parameters from Fabian and Leonhardt (2010). Data are analysed using bootstrap statistics. A progressive alteration criterion and the location where the multispecimen linear regression intersects the y axis serve as reliability checks. Furthermore, overprints and misalignment are detected by isolating the NRM remaining and pTRM gained and comparing their declinations and inclinations. The NRM remaining and pTRM gained are used to calculate 'alignment-corrected' multispecimen plots. The program was tested on lava samples that had been given a full TRM and that had acquired their pTRMs at angles of 0, 15, 30 and 90° with respect to their NRMs. MSP-Tool adequately detected and largely corrected these artificial alignment errors.

In this tutorial, we explain the steps to generate a CSR and use it to request a signed SSL certificate from a certification authority.
Press Generate in front of Certificate Signing Request.
Set Private Key to the key you've just created. The certificate you'll request will be based on that private key.
Enter the name of the site that the certificate will be used for in Host Name (Common Name). For example, if your site will be accessed using https://www.example.com, enter www.example.com (and not example.com).
Fill the rest of the fields with information on your true identity. This is mandatory as these will be usually verified by the certificate authority before they issue the certificate. Note that the 2-letter code of the United Kingdom is GB. For a detailed list of country codes, please refer to the official ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 codes listing.
Once the CSR generated, you will have to send it to a certification authority which will do the necessary to check your information and to generate a signed certificate. Note that only the CSR has to be sent to the certification authority, the private key used to generate it should never be sent to them.
Depending on your certification authority, you may have to send it, copy it in an online form, or put it in a text file and forward it to them. We strongly recommend that you check with your certification authority about the best way to provide them with the CSR.
Some certification authorities will ask you about your server type. This information is mainly used for statistical purposes and makes no difference on the final signed certificate they will deliver. If you do not find Abyss Web Server on their list, select Other Web Server or Other. If no such choices are available, you can select OpenSSL or OpenSSL-based server. Again if no such choices are available, you can safely select Apache or ModSSL as our SSL/TLS implementation is based on OpenSSL which is also used by Apache and ModSSL.
When you receive your signed certificate from the certificate autority, you'll have to enter it in Abyss Web Server before being able to use it.
Enter a name of your choice for the certificate you'll enter. For example, enter my_cert in Name.
Set Private Key to the key you have used when generating the CSR of the signed certificate.
Set Type to Signed by a certification authority.
Open the main certificate file you have received from the certification authority with a text editor (such as Windows Notepad or Mac OS X/macOS Textpad). Copy its contents in the field Main Certificate.
If the certification authority provided you with additional certificates that are necessary to establish the trust chain, they must be entered in Intermediate Certificates. If more than a single intermediate certificate is available, enter their contents one after the other in that field.
CA Root Certificate must be filled with the CA (Certification Authority) or root certificate if provided.
Press OK to validate the new certificate.
The new certificate can now be assigned to any host.

An Assessment of the Comprehensiveness of Radiation Oncology Residency Websites
By Mutlay Sayan, MD; Irini Youssef, MD; Apar Gupta, MD; Nisha Ohri, MD; Salma K. Jabbour, MD; Rahul Parikh, MD; Raquel Wagman, MD; Bruce G. Haffty, MD; Sung Kim, MD; Joseph Weiner, MD; Anna Lee, MD. MPH
Objective: Medical students rely on the internet as a resource to gather information about residency programs, although little data exist on the quality or completeness of these websites. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the accessibility of educational and recruitment content of radiation oncology residency websites in the US.
Methods and Materials: The names of radiation oncology residency programs were obtained from the Electronic Residency Application Service. Websites were evaluated for the presence of 20 unique features related to categories of application process, work incentives, educational instruction, research, clinical training, and program leadership introduction. Programs were organized by geographic location, size and ranking for further analysis. Univariate logistic regression was performed to assess predictors of matching in the 2019 cycle.
Results: A total of 92 analyzable websites were identified. Individual program websites contained a mean (SD) of 9.75 (3.8) of the 20 factors sought (49%). Ten (11%) program websites had at least 75% of the 20 features. In addition, 37 (40%) programs had less than 50% of the features listed on their websites. When evaluated by geographic region, no differences in the amount of information available on each website were noted (p = 0.102). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in mean number of features reported by large or small programs (10.80 vs 9.15, p = 0.114) and by ranking (9.96 vs 9.68, p = 0.760). Large programs were more likely to fill all their spots in the 2019 match (OR 3.85, p = 0.013) and there was a nonsignificant trend in increased likelihood of matching with 6 to 15 features on program websites (OR 2.07-2.14).
Conclusion: With the recent high unmatched rate in radiation oncology residency programs, methods to improve the recruitment process are of even greater importance. Many radiation oncology residency websites appear to be incomplete. Improvement in the comprehensiveness and accessibility of radiation oncology websites may improve the recruitment process and allow for medical students to make more informed decisions.
Medical students interested in obtaining a radiation oncology residency position often use the internet as a resource to gather information about residency programs. Although there have been no surveys specific to radiation oncology applicants, studies in other medical specialties have confirmed the importance of online program information.1-8 Therefore, it is important for residency programs to maintain informative and comprehensive websites for prospective radiation oncology applicants.
Prior studies in other medical specialties have demonstrated that residency program websites are often suboptimal and that missing information can be crucial for applicants to determine which programs are a better "fit" for them.9,10 Given that program websites may be the only novel program-specific resource medical students have before applying, completeness of program information may be a significant factor in allowing residency programs to remain competitive for applicants, particularly with the recent increase in unmatched radiation oncology program spots in 2019.11
Previous studies in other medical specialties have found deficiencies in online content on residency program websites; however, similar information regarding the availability and quality of current radiation oncology residency website content is not available. We sought to evaluate the accessibility of educational and recruitment content of radiation oncology residency websites in the US.
Methods and Materials
A list of US radiation oncology residency programs was obtained from the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). All websites were publicly available. This study did not require institutional review board approval per the SUNY Downstate Medical Center.
The program websites were accessed through the link provided by ERAS or through an online search. Websites were evaluated for the presence of 20 unique features related to categories of application process, work incentives, educational instruction, research, clinical training, and program leadership introduction (Table 1). The 20 features were derived from published studies in other specialties evaluating residency websites and were considered to be relevant to the field of radiation oncology by the authors.4,5,12 Inclusion of information required its presence directly on the radiation oncology residency or department website. However, information on salary, benefits, parking, and faculty listing was considered present if it was accessible by a direct link from the residency website.
Programs were organized by geographic location and residency size for further analysis. Programs were divided into institutions based in the Northeast (Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Maine, and the District of Columbia), South (Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee), West (New Mexico, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, California, Hawaii), and Midwest (Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia). States/territories without programs included Alaska, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota, Puerto Rico, and South Dakota. Program size was determined by the median number of residents in the programs, with ≤ 7 residents considered to be small and ≥ 8 considered large. Programs were then categorized by the ranking of the cancer program per US News and World Report as a "Top 25" vs a "Not Top 25" program and further categorized using the National Resident Matching Program data as having filled or not filled in the 2019 cycle. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney/Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare categorical and continuous variables, respectively. Univariate logistic regression was performed to assess predictors of matching in the 2019 cycle. SPSS version 21.0 (IBM Inc., Armonk, New York) was used for statistical analysis.
A total of 94 radiation oncology residency programs was obtained from ERAS. Of the 94 programs, 92 websites were evaluated (2 websites were inaccessible or nonexistent). Individual program websites contained a mean (SD) of 9.75 (3.8) of the 20 factors sought (49%).
Only 10 (11%) of the program websites had at least 75% of the 20 features. In addition, 37 (40%) programs had < 50% of the features listed on their websites. Websites ranged from having 15% of the features to as much as 90%. Most sites had contact e-mail (98%), research opportunities (86%), and a comprehensive faculty listing (82%), while fewer than a quarter of programs had a message from the chairperson (24%), call schedule (15%), or parking information (9%) (Table 1).
After organizing by geographical location, the Northeast contained 29% of programs, the South 29%, the West 19%, and the Midwest 23%. There were no differences in the amount of information available on each website based on geographic region (p = 0.102). There were 45 large programs and 47 small programs, and there was no significant difference in mean number of features reported by large or small programs (10.90 vs 9.15, p = 0.114). Comparison of Top 25 vs Not Top 25 programs by the US News and World Report found no difference in mean number of features reported (9.96 vs. 9.68, p = 0.760) (Table 2).
There were 88 programs that entered the NRMP in 2019 of which 22 (25%) did not fill all positions. On univariate logistic regression, large programs were more likely to fill their spots in the 2019 match (OR 3.85, p = 0.013) and there was a nonsignificant trend in increased likelihood of matching with 6 to 15 features on program websites (OR 2.07-2.14)(Table 3).
The 2019 Match Day results, with 22 programs (25%) going unfilled for the first time in many years, was a surprising development after years of a competitive match in radiation oncology. The decline in applications is likely multifactorial, with causes including an anticipated future oversupply of radiation oncologists and a much higher-than-usual failure rate on the 2018 radiation biology and physics qualifying board examinations.13,14
As future generations of medical trainees undoubtedly will continue to use the internet as a resource for investigating residency specialties and individual programs, having comprehensive program websites will continue to grow in importance. In this study, we evaluated current program websites based on 20 criteria and note that on average, programs met about half of these predefined criteria. Furthermore, the geographical location and program size were not related to website completeness, implying that the issue is widespread and overlooked among a variety of programs.
While the deficiencies in online content available for other medical specialties has been reported extensively,1-8 information on availability and quality of online information regarding radiation oncology programs is limited.12 We found that important information for prospective residents, including the number of match spots, selection criteria, and alumni job placement, is omitted in the majority of websites. Previous studies have noted that websites influence prospective applicants' decisions5,7 and that an easily navigable site may be an important factor in deciding where to apply.3 The lack of information on radiation oncology residency websites may leave applicants with insufficient information with which to gauge their interest in a particular program.
It is likely that another resource programs use is social media, which may be used in recruitment. A survey study of prospective anesthesia residents showed that the majority (52.8%) felt a residency-based social media account impacted their evaluation of programs. Specifically, the most popular platforms included Doximity and Facebook.15 With an increasing Twitter presence in oncology,16 its utilization by programs may also be an emerging trend in resident recruitment.
This study has several limitations. First, the choice of program website features by the study team was completed through extensive literature review of desired features in other specialties as well as consensus on factors specific to radiation oncology; however, additional factors of interest to medical students may not have been included. Second, due to website variability, available features may have been overlooked despite thorough review. There was also no official way to verify the accuracy of the information posted on the websites. Furthermore, intangible factors such as website design and ease of use were not assessed in this study. Nonetheless, these results highlight several areas for potential improvement.
The recent match results indicate that individual residency programs, and even our field as a whole, cannot be complacent when it comes to attracting the best medical students. We demonstrate that residency program websites, a medical student's first and sometimes final look at a program, often lack completeness. Enhancing the quality and completeness of residency program websites may be a very high-yield first step toward optimizing future matches and reversing the recent concerning increase in unfilled radiation oncology residency spots.

If you want a premium tractor that is well worth the money you invest into it, then you should look at some of the selections that Kubota has to offer. This brand has been recognized as one of the best tractor companies in the world because these versatile machines always have superior performance.
Kubota offers a variety of tractors, so consumers can get one that is specific to their needs. One thing that consumers notice about every Kubota tractor is that they are easy to maneuver and capable of doing a lot.
The price range of a Kubota tractor will all depend on which model you decide to purchase. Kubota tractors range anywhere from $11,000 to over $95,000.
Size, technology, and features all play a role in how high the cost of a Kubota tractor could be.
It's hard to determine whether or not Kubota tractors are a good deal unless you know the average price range of a tractor. Since there are so many different types of tractors, you can expect quite a big range.
On average, a mid-size tractor will be between $25,000 and $50,000 while a larger tractor could be between $75,000 to $150,000. In comparison, many Kubota tractors are not as expensive as other brands.
Kubota is not an American company, but it does have manufacturing facilities in the US. This multi-national company is actually from Japan, with headquarters in Osaka, Japan.
While this brand first launched in 1980, over the decades it has grown into a worldwide success and one of the most dependable tractor brands. Kubota now has operating facilities in over 25 countries around the world.
The number one selling tractor company in the US is John Deere. Everyone knows John Deere tractors when they see one of these famous green and yellow machines.
While John Deere is a popular brand name, the quality of these machines always exceeds customers' expectations. This tractor company is known for manufacturing some of the strongest and most durable tractors in the world.
When it comes to finding the best tractor, every user has different needs. Some great brands for finding tractors that aren't as well-known as Kubota and John Deere include Massey Ferguson, Claas, and New Holland.
While it's impossible to name one brand as the perfect tractor company, most customers can find exactly what they need when looking into what any of these brands have to offer.
There are a lot of similarities between Kubota and John Deere tractors, so much that it's nearly impossible to choose which one is better. When it comes to sales, these brands are each other's biggest competition, with John Deere slightly taking the lead in the US.
However, when it comes to performance and maneuverability, both tractor brands are tied. You can't go wrong with either John Deere or Kubota because they know how to produce long-lasting and functional tractors.
The great thing about investing in either Kubota or John Deere tractors is that the machines will hold value over time. Most tractor owners will bet 20 or more years with a tractor that is well-maintained, however, Kubota and John Deere owners have been able to extend the life of their tractors for over 30 years.
If you invest in a Kubota or John Deere tractor and keep it well-maintained over the years, the tractor will hold onto its value.
The buyer's choice for top Kubota tractor is the Kubota standard L01 series. This tractor has become a favorite because it's comfortable to drive, easy to use, and a very-good quality tractor.
Many buyers will agree that any tractor from the Kubota L series is a top of the line pick. These durable tractors are some of the best this popular company has to offer.
The two best John Deere tractors are the John Deere 6150R and the John Deere 7530 Premium, according to Auto Trader UK. However, the best one for you depends on what your needs are.
The John Deere 6150R is the most powerful tractor in the collection, while the John Deere 7530 Premium is the company's best lightweight tractor. What you are using the tractor for will determine which one is a better choice for you.
The best-selling tractor that was ever made under the John Deere name is the John Deere 4020. This model was introduced in 1963 and was on the market until 1972, when it was replaced with the 4230.
During its run, the John Deere 4020 sold for a retail price of $10,345. Throughout the decades, no other John Deere model has compared in popularity to the 4020.
Mahindra is a popular tractor company from India that sells tractors worldwide. These high-quality tractors are well worth the money and are known for their longevity. Most Mahindra tractors surpass 30 years of use.

TC Girls Secure Spot in Northern Region Tournament
Moss outscores West Potomac through three quarters.
By Jon Roetman
Alexandria — After a stretch of nearly six minutes without a field goal to open the second half, T.C. Williams senior Gaby Moss removed any doubt about the Titans' season lasting longer than the first round of districts.
Moss knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers, extending TC's lead to 19 points as the second-seeded Titans cruised to a 60-25 victory against No. 7 West Potomac on Feb. 14 at The Garden. TC advanced to the district semifinals and assured themselves of a berth in the Northern Region tournament.

T.C. Williams senior Gaby Moss led the Titans with 17 points against West Potomac on Feb. 14.
TC led 27-14 entering the second half when both teams went ice cold. The Titans and Wolverines each made one free throw for the first 5 minutes, 55 seconds of the third quarter before Moss got TC back on track.
"It was a moment where … collectively, the thought was, 'OK, you know what? We've been playing around too much. Let's go,'" Moss said. "After that, as a team, we just started making our shots, being aggressive [and] attacking the goal."
Moss finished with a game-high 17 points, including a trio of 3-pointers, and grabbed seven rebounds. Referred to as the "Offensive Assassin" by head coach Kesha Walton, Moss outscored West Potomac 17-15 through three quarters.
TC's Brooke Ninman scored 11 points and grabbed six rebounds. Freshman guard Rejoice Spivey scored eight points and Christian Roberts tallied seven points and seven rebounds.
While the Titans' offense struggled for stretches, their defense was stifling. After the Wolverines' Caroline Kelly scored late in the second quarter, TC held West Potomac without a field goal for a stretch of nearly 14 minutes. After scoring one point in the third quarter and making six free throws in the fourth, the Wolverines snapped the streak when Georgia McBride scored with 2:54 remaining.
"That says a lot about [the Titans'] heart and commitment, to committing themselves defensively," Walton said. "… We were starting to get out of it a little bit, mentally, but [TC used] the defense to
get the offense going. I noticed once our defense started picking up, I know our offense is right behind it."
TC defeated No. 3 Annandale 59-46 on Feb. 16 and will face No. 1 West Springfield in the district championship game at 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 17 at Lake Braddock.
"One of our goals is accomplished: to actually go to the regional tournament, so the girls are very happy. I told them to enjoy that moment. Still, it's not over yet."
— T.C. Williams girls' basketball coach Kesha Walton
"One of our goals is accomplished: to actually go to the regional tournament, so the girls are very happy," Walton said after the Titans beat West Potomac. "I told them to enjoy that moment. Still, it's not over yet."

One of the many things that make Extended DISC® assessments unique is that they can measure the respondent's stress level. Employee stress is a significant problem for many organizations; not only in terms of lost productivity, but healthcare costs as well.
In this 15-minute mini webinar you will discover what the stress level trends are around the world.


Are you looking for ways to reduce stress in your life, so you can get on with living? Is stress consuming too much of your time and energy, acting as a barrier that prevents you from accomplishing your dreams? Many people find that stress levels begin to increase over time as more responsibilities and obligations are added to daily routines. What is the solution? Try these suggestions and choose those that can fit with your lifestyle. Then you can get on with living a rewarding, productive and meaningful life.
Make a Written Check List.
A written checklist identifying what you need to do each day is an effective way to keep you focused and on track. Key advice for success-be realistic. Not only is it helpful to list those tasks and appointments that are scheduled, but also identifying which of the items on the list are more important. The list can be developed at the end of the day so that as you close out one day you are preparing for the next.
Build a list that allows for modifications as the unexpected arises. You may find that at the end of each day you want to look at your list and include all of the things you accomplished that were not on your original list. Feelings of accomplishment help to reduce stress and build a sense of worth.
After a week of list building and accomplishment listing you may find patterns emerge. Are you trying to do too much in a day? Are you being unrealistic in how many tasks you can complete each day? Used wisely, lists can be helpful in keeping you targeted to your work without having to keep all of the many assignments in your brain.
Sometimes we fall into the trap of thinking that multitasking saves time. Not necessarily so. If you are monitoring work, kids and household activities, keeping track of everything can become overwhelming. Trying to accomplish several things at once leads to distractions. If you are working from home, it is tempting to start some laundry or clean up the kitchen as a quick break from your computer work. But the starts and stops can sabatoge your train of thought and actually cause you to spend more time getting back on track with a work project.
To help handle complex projects effectively, divide it into smaller sub-projects so that you can accomplish these portions, one at a time, and feel a sense of accomplishment as you move forward. These sub-projects can be listed on your "to do" list and you can more easily monitor your progress. Staying focused on one task at a time will also produce higher quality work.
You can reduce stress in your life and enjoy the benefits of good health by taking a break from your work a few times each day to stretch, re-focus and recharge. As you plan daily tasks, build in time to recharge. Include some physical exercise. It may be extreme down hill racing or relaxing yoga. Either way, your body needs to stretch and move. If the weather is nice, take a nice walk and enjoy some quiet time alone. Eliminating built-up tension will make you feel rejuvenated as you return to your work.
Plan ahead when you can and take one step at a time. Focusing on one thing at a time will keep you from being distracted as you move forward. Taking care of yourself with healthy eating and exercise will provide you will a sense of well being about who you are and where you are going. Enjoy your journey.

Expert Q&As Hidden Common Ground Suzette Hackney Columns & Letters
As COVID-19 continues to worsen, nation needs a New Deal for the arts
Arts are a multibillion dollar industry that accounts for greater share of economy than agriculture, transportation. When creators don't work, GDP suffers.
Ellen Burstyn and Charles Segars
President-elect Joe Biden says he wants to lead a presidency that is for all Americans. Here's his chance: Save the arts.
Music, film, dance, theater, painting, sculpture — these are the universal languages of our heritage, and they're fighting for survival. We're not just talking about empty seats at the Lincoln Center. We're talking about the foreseeable end of more than 670,000 small creative businesses and nonprofits: Places like rural community theaters and city symphonies and cultural institutions that create millions of jobs in towns across the country.
More than just "nightlife," these places — these people — are the heart and hands of American culture. And they need help.
A multibillion dollar industry is dying
Every sector takes a hit during a recession, but for our creative economy, this COVID-19 downturn is life or death. Long before the pandemic, the internet age undercut artists and arts workers by making their goods and services available for next to nothing. Now, by nature of this virus, cultural institutions that bring large groups of people together will be the last to open safely. We still don't know when that will be, and many are already struggling to hang on.
In the leanest years of the Great Depression, the U.S. government stepped in to save America's creative economy. The time has come again: We need a New Deal for the arts. Rescue arts venues and organizations from bankruptcy. Send freelance arts workers relief checks and government-funded jobs. Fund a National Theater, like most leading countries in the world. Restore arts education to the core curriculum of every public school. And to lead the charge, appoint a Cabinet-level secretary of arts and culture.
Biden must recognize that not only are the arts the soul of this nation, they are also too big to fail.
The arts amount to an $878 billion industry, according to 2017 data collected by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Last year, the arts and related industries represented 4.2% of gross domestic product, a larger share of our economy than agriculture and transportation. Add to that knock-on effects for business of all kinds: from the lumber yard that supplies wood for set construction to the electricians who hang the lights. Whenever people go see a performance, it sets off a wave of spending that helps keep afloat local bars, restaurants and public transit. In major arts districts, that money overflows into hotels, retailers and airlines, too.
Lawmakers looking to jump-start commerce should do the math: A thriving arts scene is an economic multiplier. It also generates an outstanding return on tax dollars. Nonprofit arts organizations annually spin some $5 billion in government allocations into more than $27.5 billion in tax revenue.
As for the upfront costs of such a plan, a recent open letter to the U.S. Senate offers a reasonable start at just under $44 billion. That's 5% of the arts' value added to the economy, and proportionate to the $50 billion bailout of the airline industry.
It's also less than 1% of our federal budget. Any claim that we can't afford to support the arts is fiction. Consider that the Pentagon has spent more on military bands than our entire government has allocated to the National Endowment for the Arts.
Cabinet-level position means accountability
It's clear the arts will need more money than anyone in government is openly talking about. Even after there's a vaccine, venues will only be able to safely reopen by accommodating smaller audiences — which in turn is only possible if they can afford to operate at a deficit.
What's more, organizations and venues are just the most visible tip of the arts sector. Across the creative industries, millions of people work under the radar and without a net. Here, the case for government intervention bridges economics and education to basic ethics. Just like Uber drivers, artists are vulnerable in ways that shouldn't be legal — no health insurance, no sick leave, no predictable income — and many of them doubly so now that their day jobs in restaurants and retail have disappeared.
Staunch opponents of arts funding often point to a lack of accountability. From where we sit, that's all the more reason to create a Cabinet-level secretary of arts and culture, somebody designated to make sure our money is spent responsibly.
The secretary's mandate would be straightforward: Help the arts flourish. They could start by getting every public school in the country to hire more art, music, dance and theater teachers, buy more musical instruments and arts supplies, and integrate the arts into other core subjects.
This is especially urgent in the lowest-income, lowest-performing school districts — strong arts education programs consistently help students achieve higher scores in reading and math, lower rates of suspension and dropout, as well as higher levels of civic engagement and social tolerance. The secretary could also develop market-friendly artistic enterprises that yield a strong return on federal investment. They could help our creative industries compete abroad, and work with the ministers of culture to expand America's influence around the globe.
We can hear the skeptics already: Let's take care of the basics and then we'll talk about the unalienable right to see "Hamilton."
To that we would say, simply: The arts are not a luxury. They are not elite, nor extracurricular. American arts and artists are essential.
Hunkering down doesn't mean we should neglect the activities and experiences that elevate us. To the contrary, this year has delivered challenges drastic enough to demand change on a massive scale. If our leaders are going to make good on the opportunity, they'll need to do what artists have always done best: Imagine what's possible, and make it happen.

Road Side Culture Stand
Where Artists and Agriculture Intersect
Ma Baensch location selected for Roadside Culture Stand
Artists and agriculture will converge this summer in an eyecatching
Roadside Culture Stand on the corner of Humboldt and Locust, right in front of Baensch Food
Products. Roadside Culture Stands, an initiative spearheaded by the Wormfarm Institute, are artistdesigned and built mobile farm stands that display and sell fresh local produce as well as the work of local artists. The stand located in Riverwest will debut at the Locust Street Festival on June 13 and will be open for business two days a week from June through October.
Tory Tepp, an installation artist who specializes in earthworks, designed and built the Roadside Culture Stand in Riverwest. The stand will feature jars of Ma Baensch herring, Fresh Is Best Natural Pet Food and produce from Rooftop Grow-Op, among other featured local items.
"The Roadside Culture Stand is a great way for the Riverwest community and passersby to experience
local products as well as the work of local artists," said Kim Wall, president of Baensch Food Products.
"There are many talented people in this community who have a unique product or artistic concept and this is a wonderful way to share it with the community. I'm thrilled to be a part of this worthwhile endeavor."
The Roadside Culture Stand is funded by a generous grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board in support of
the Wormfarm Institute – a non-profit organization working to build a sustainable future for agriculture and the arts by fostering vital links between people and the land. There are four stands in Wisconsin: two located in Milwaukee, one in Mineral Point and one in Baraboo. Each stand will have a home base and will also travel to local festivals and county fairs.
"We chose this location, in front of Ma Baensch, because of its visibility. It's at the crossroads to
everything – the east side, downtown and the north shore," said Stacy LaPoint, site coordinator for the
Roadside Culture Stand. "This stand brings awareness as well as an entrepreneurial outlet to local artisan goods and a burgeoning local food system."

Marquette, Michigan is a wonderful setting for outdoor fun and sports. One of the more popular sports/activities is competitive and recreational rock climbing, both in and outdoors. One of the hot spots for NMU students, especially in this chilly weather, is the 25 foot tall rock wall at the PEIF's Outdoor Rec Center. The wall, named the Boreal Boulder, is a 1,450 square-foot wall with numerous different colored trails to follow and hundreds more if you create your own on the way up.
Lately, the wall at the PEIF has gotten really busy at night, and a climbing club has formed. Alumni Haley Eisenhardt had this to say about the Climbing Wall: "It's such a good workout. I feel so strong after it. Indoor or outdoor, you can do it basically anywhere! It's a really good way to meet new people who are chill, relaxed, and friendly; my group of friends comes here all the time," she said.
**Climbing Wall will be closed April 9-13 due to Climbing Competition preparation.
**NMU is on Spring Break March 2-10 and will have modified hours. Visit https://www.nmu.edu/recsports/facility-hours for more info.
ORC rental equipment can be rented during the times listed below or by making a reservation up to two weeks in advance.
Please call the Rec Sports office at 227-2519 to reserve equipment.
Thursday Partner Climb 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
One of the most popular activities NMU Recreational Sports offers is its 1,450 square-foot climbing wall, named the Boreal Boulder, which is located in the Physical Education and Instructional Facility (PEIF) of the NMU Sports Complex, near the basketball courts.
Activities at the wall include climbing for adults and children, partner climbs and classes. Trained staff members are on hand to assist with climbs and teach proper technique. All climbers MUST follow the climbing policies and youths are required to have parents sign a waiver form.
The wall is also available for group events, including youth birthday parties, campus groups, and community organizations.
Experience the rush of climbing the wall! For more information, e-mail Christopher Smith chrsmith@nmu.edu or call the Outdoor Rec Center at 906-227-1369.

Belay training is a time set aside for climbers who wish to become belay certified at the ORC's climbing wall. The cost is a onetime only fee of $5. Climbers are expected to arrive at the start of the lesson. You are required to be belay certified through the ORC if you wish to attend Partner Climbs or belay your friends - even if you are certified at another gym!
Open climb is a time at the ORC where anyone can come in, whether you are a beginner climber or advanced. The ORC has staff on hand to help with belaying or give you tips on how to master that route you've been stuck on. No belay certification is required for Open Climb shifts.
Partner climb allows climbers to come in and belay for themselves. This is a time that is usually quieter than Open Climb and allows the climbers to climb the wall without waiting in any lines. In order to attend Partner Climb shifts, you must be belay certified through the ORC.
In top rope climbing, the rope goes from the belayer on the ground through the anchors at the top of the wall and back down to wherever the climber may be on the route. The climber is below their protection - what catches them when they fall - at all times. At the ORC we offer another style of climbing called lead climbing. In lead climbing the rope goes from the belayer on the ground right to the climber, who clips into their gear as they climb up the wall. They are not anchored in at the top until they get there, so the climber is literally "leading" the rope up the wall.
Need a fun family activity for Friday night? Come join the ORC crew at the climbing wall for an evening of adventure. Let the kids go crazy! This is a family-friendly program to help teach the sport of climbing to the next generation. Kid's Climb is held every Friday night from 6 - 9 p.m. unless otherwise noted during the fall and winter semesters. The climb is FREE for rec members and non-members must obtain a $10 day pass.
The NMU Outdoor Recreation Center offers climbing lessons for individuals and groups of all ages and abilities. Whether you are new to the sport wishing to learn the basics, or a seasoned climber wanting to take your technique to the next level, we can provide you with a great learning experience! To sign up for climbing lessons please contact the Rec Sports office at 227-2519.
There is no charge for recreation members to use the climbing wall during open hours. For non-members, a valid day pass is required (purchased at the Info Center for $10).
Climbing shoes: may be rented for $2 on a first-come, first-served basis. Socks must be worn with all shoe rentals. Harnesses and belay devices also are available for checkout during open and partner climb hours at no charge.
Fees for group packages or wall rental vary with the number of participants, length and content of the event.
To sign up or get more information, e-mail recsport@nmu.edu, call 906-227-2519, or stop by the Rec Sports office at PEIF 126.
