Having more experience in the active management of investment funds does not guarantee better performance.
While many academic studies focus on the performance of actively managed funds, 'The performance of long-serving fund managers’ focuses on the performance the fund managers. The study looked at the performance of a sample of 360 individual US fund managers who had all managed the same fund for at least 10 years.
“This report tackles a long-standing myth. Until now, the saying that ‘there is no substitute for experience’ has gone unchallenged in the world of asset management. With this analysis we can determine that this is not actually the case."
"Inversis aims to help both industry professionals with easy tools for decision-making in the selection of investment funds and non-professionals (private investors and the general public). This report is a key contribution to the sector and its study, as it broadens the knowledge about the management factor that is not always contemplated. We believe that the industry may be subject to further analysis from different perspectives, beyond the profitability of products, for which this study is a first step."

Even in this day and age, services like YouTube are still blocking access to users depending on their region. Now, it is not the website’s fault at all as it all mostly depends on the copyright laws of each country and the licenses that the website holds. However, since this is the Internet and all, there are several ways you can bypass these restrictions. The legality of all this is not very clear but you are sure not going to get in trouble for using the services I will detail below.
If you do not often run into region-restricted videos then you would do well with a website like Unblock YouTube. The way it works is extremely simple. You just take a YouTube link, paste it into the respective space in the website and click on Go. It will then redirect you to the actual YouTube page where you can freely watch your video. Do note that there are some restrictions. For example, if the video is aimed at an adult audience, you will not be able to watch it as it would require you to log in your account. Some settings might also break but usually things will be fine.
A browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Opera Next, ProxMate is a very fast service that works in many services, including YouTube. It can unblock pretty much any video and you can turn it off at any point in case it slows down your surfing or streaming. It uses a minimal amount of resources and it can stay in the background of your browser so you can forget about region-locked videos forever. It is also completely free and is only supported by donations so no annoying ads either. Visit the link to see the full list of services supported and to download the extension if it looks alright to you.
Pretty much the same thing but a lot more popular. Hola is also available in way more platforms so that is something to note. You can download a standalone app in your Windows computer, a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox or just use the Torch browser where the extension is integrated. There is also an Android app that goes beyond mere unblocking of websites as it promises to speed up your surfing and reduce network load. Hola is completely free as well and has no ads for the best browsing experience possible.
You probably knew this was coming but the post would not be complete without it. The simplest way to bypass any restrictions on the Internet and protect your privacy is to use a VPN service. Most of these services are paid but you can find some fairly decent free ones if you are willing to look hard enough. Of course, using a VPN will change the way you surf the internet so you will have to do a bit of research before installing a service.

If you've been reading my blog for a while you'll know I love Denman hair brushes. I bought my first Denman D3 Classic Styling Brush over 6 years ago now, and it's still going strong. I've been lucky over the years to add my collection but I promise you if they all disappeared overnight, I'd be straight out tomorrow to buy a new one.
The Denman D3 Classic Styling Brush is simply perfect for my long straight ish hair.The D3 comes with a easy to hold and manoeuvre teardrop shaped handle, and features 7 rows of high quality nylon pins embedded into their signature anti-static rubber pad, making the brush perfect for detangling, smoothing and blow drying.
Whilst the style and quality of the D3 has remained the same over the years, Denman have always tried to remain innovative and of the moment. The original black, white and red brush is still available but nowadays you can buy the classic D3 covered in lip prints, animal prints, diamantes and even in fruit scented versions.
In 2012 I was sent a special edition D3 Classic Styling Brush the AnarKitty "Sassy" D3, which was a collaboration between Denman and British artists Emma Geary aka AnarKitty- You can read my review here. I loved the almost Art Deco graphics of the original brush so I was thrilled to hear that the two have collaborated once again.
The year has saw the release of the AnarKitty Ruby D3. The ruby red brush again draws in the Art Deco ear, this embracing the roaring twenties and the Great Gastsby era.
The design on the brush features a quirky girl, in an almost flapper style dress, and a string of pearls. Her hair is styled in the traditional 1920's finger wave and on her head she wears the crown featured in the Denman logo.
The reverse of the brush handle like with last brush features the A K signature this time in black.
Away for the designs and prints this is just the typical and fabulous D3 - The colours are the same as the Classic but with a twist.
The handle and base of the brush is a bright ruby red, you definitely wouldn't lose this one in the bottom of your handbag! The anti static rubber pad is white, and the 7 rows of nylon pins are in a contrasting black.
Apart from the obvious the thing I love most about the Denman D3 is that the quality never changes no matter how plain or how funky the brush design is. They are always made to the same quality and they always work and do the business and above all last.
Loving the design on this brush, it's gorgeous. I have never tried Denman brushes before, but have heard good things about them.

SEATTLE - The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and Paine Field Airport (PAE) is prepared for a busy spring break travel season. Departing passenger volumes are projected to increase starting later this week with security checkpoint operations remaining busy through late April.
Nationwide, TSA projects to see a three percent increase in the number of passengers screened through its security checkpoints during the traditional spring break travel period. In order to handle the increased passenger volume on peak travel days, TSA locally and nationwide will be fully staffed, offering additional hours and overtime to TSA officers.
The increase in the number of departing passengers coincides with local school districts’ spring break vacation periods as well as a general increase the number of departing travelers. At SEA, to help travelers plan ahead, the busiest days are projected to be Thursdays and Fridays as well as Sundays and Mondays for the next month when the average number of departing passengers will be around 60,000 per day.
4:30 a.m. to 7 a.m.
TSA advises passengers to arrive at the airport two hours prior to a domestic flight departure and three hours prior to an international flight departure. During busy travel periods, each step of the airline travel process from parking, checking in and checking a bag, clearing security and arriving at the departure takes extra time. Airlines are routinely boarding domestic flights 40 minutes prior to flight departure, so planning ahead is key.
At PAE in Everett, Wash., the daily number of departing flights will increase to 24 on Sunday, March 31 when United Airlines starts commercial air service. TSA will be fully staffed and prepared to screen the increased number of travelers departing PAE.
Unpack your bag before you pack it. By unpacking your bag fully at home, you will avoid bringing items to the airport that are not allowed past the security checkpoint. The most common prohibited items TSA officers see in carry-on luggage include items with a blade and liquids and gels in excess of 3.4 ounces or 100 ml.
Remove electronics larger than a cell phone from carry-on bag. Carry-on baggage screening procedures are in place in general screening lanes at all airports across the country including SEA. The procedures require travelers to place all electronic devices larger than a cell phone - including tablets, e-readers and camera - in bins for x-ray screening. The electronics should be placed in a bin with nothing on top or below, similar to how laptops have been screened for several years.
Eligible for TSA Pre✓®? At SEA, travelers can get to any gate from any security checkpoint. However, before heading to a security checkpoint, check your boarding pass to see if the words “TSA PreCheck” or “TSA PRE” are printed on it. TSA operates dedicated TSA PreCheck lanes at security checkpoints 1 (south end of the airport) and 4 (located behind the Alaska Airlines ticketing area). TSA does not operate a dedicated TSA Pre✓® lane at PAE. However, eligible travelers will be allowed to leave on their shoes, belt and light outerwear during the security checkpoint screening process.
Tweet or Message “AskTSA.” Issues with receiving TSA Pre✓®? Unsure if an item is allowed through security in a carry-on bag? Get real-time assistance by contacting TSA on social media. Message or tweet questions or comments to AskTSA weekdays from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. PST and weekends from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. PST.
TSA has additional resources available to help travelers transport items on its website TSA.gov. Travelers can use the popular “Can I Bring?” feature on the TSA mobile app, myTSA, or visit tsa.gov.

The year was 1972. Fabio Taglioni had designed Ducati's first Desmodromic V twin engine and needed it to compete in racing. However Ducati was just a small Italian company without many credentials. They had a hard time convincing riders to ride for them.
On the other side of the continent in America, Englishman Paul Smart was racing for Team Hansen Kawasaki and having trouble making ends meet. When his wife received a call from Ducati, she happily accepted the offer in her husband’s absence to race at Imola.
Smart had no idea where Imola was and knew very little of Ducati except for the fact that they made outdated single cylinder engines. But the £500 win or lose package was too good to miss.
He flew from Atlanta to London to Milan and straight on to Modena circuit. By the time he arrived, all he wanted was food and bed. His first impression of the bike was not good at all. It was too long, too big and too slow. Turning was slow too, but at least it was stable at high speed. Smart also insisted they remove the TT100 road tyres.
When he finally finished testing, he was exhausted. He rode into the pit and was surprised to see the Ducati mechanics jumping up and down with joy. Smart had broken Agostini’s 500cc Grand Prix bike lap record.
The Imola race was a huge event, judging by the crowd. During the race, Agostini's bike blew up and left Smart and his team mate Bruno dicing at each other. Smart eventually came in first with his team mate in second. In most race events, Smart could only hear his bike engine. At Imola, he could hear the roar of the 70,000 strong crowd over his engine. The Italians went totally crazy over Ducati’s victory.
After the race the Ducati was paraded around Bologna in a glass-sided truck. The whole city celebrated till late and Smart was still in his racing leathers. Smart took home about £5000 of prize money and got to keep the bike. What a way to celebrate his 29th birthday!
As for Ducati, it was a ‘birthday’ of a different sort. It marked the beginning of the World Superbike championships and established Ducati as a proper big-bike manufacturer.

Today was the unveiling of the Winter Classic-themed showcase showdown on The Price is Right, and boy, was it ever riveting. Nothing like using awkward, taped promos to hype a daytime game show to the sports blogosphere genre. Thankfully, yours truly fell hook, line, and sinker.
What was I thinking in being even moderately interested in this? Did I think Sid was going to fly to California and play Plinko in-between games? What next, you're going to tell me he's going to tape a WWE wrestling event in the middle of the season? No, that would be too far fetched to believe. No athlete would ever do that.
I'm a few IQ points dumber for having seen that.
Also, nothing like a Cleveland guy trying to sound excited about a Pittsburgh event.
If Jeremy Roenick is cool, I don't want to see dorky.
So...a double over means there are still some tickets left for the game right? Figures the NHL can't even give something away right.
Also, shouldn't it be the law all the Price Is Right girls have to wear lingerie or bathing suits? What's up with jeans and a t-shirt...that's ratings baby!
You could tell that west coast girl was thrilled that she might be going to Pittsburgh in the dead of winter.
Funny. Even funnier is that the NHL was dumb enough to schedule Pens/Caps on Thursday, the same night the Steelers play.
Since both folks went over, does that mean that Jeremy Roenick ends up winning the tickets and VIP package?

You may not know this about me, but I played quite a bit of basketball in my younger days. One thing I love about basketball is that it is such a team sport. Though the players on a team usually have their assigned position and role, all the players have to carry out the basic skills of the game. So the point guard may have the best ball-handling skills, but all the team members have to be able to dribble and pass as well. The big guy might be the one pulling down the most rebounds, but the other team members need to be blocking out and going after the boards too. So there are certain assignments that are particular to each position and role, and other assignments that must be carried out by every member of the team, in order for the team to compete well.
That same kind of teamwork needs to happen in the Church. Each of us as believers have particular giftings and functions that are vital to the rest of the Body because they are unique, but at the same time, there are commands and “assignments” from Scripture that all of us as believers are called to obey. Not everyone is called or equipped to serve in Children’s Ministry or on a worship team or shepherding a Branch ministry. Those may be particular functions and giftings. But if Scripture is correct (and it is), then all of us who are followers of Christ are called—and therefore equipped—to show hospitality to one another in the church.
I Peter 4:9 says “Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.” Peter is writing that to the church—to all believers—and he doesn’t preface it by saying “If you’re an extrovert…” or “If you’ve got a warm personality…” or “If you have a big home…” He simply says “Show hospitality.” Therefore in order for our church to function the way God intends it to function, ALL of us need to be extending hospitality to one another within our church family.
Some will be called to specific roles within ministries of hospitality—and if you are not currently serving in a ministry, there are lots of opportunities to serve in various hospitality ministries, so please contact me!—but even if we don’t serve in a ministry of hospitality, we are still called to show hospitality to those around us. In the next couple articles, I will be sharing about the process for hospitality and follow-up that we are putting in place, and how all of us can take part—in fact, MUST take part—in order to make that process successful.

Sen. Miriam Santiago on alleged "plagiarism" in the Senate: "But this is not the academe where plagiarism is a mortal sin"
Jing Castaneda of ABS-CBN News reports that "Senator Tito Sotto and his staff did not read the book by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, whose arguments were allegedly used by the senator in his speech against the Reproductive Health Bill."
Jing Castaneda of ABS-CBN News reports that "Senator Tito Sotto and his staff did not read the book by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, whose arguments were allegedly used by the senator in his speech against the Reproductive Health Bill." Sotto’s chief of staff, Atty. Hector Villacorta, revealed that "researchers in Sotto's office tried to download a copy of McBride's book but failed." As such, they resorted to "lifiting the text allegedly from McBride's book that was in the blog of American blogger Sarah Pope."
As expected Villacorta told ABS-CBN News: "Hindi naman alam ni senator na staff ko ang nagkamali (The senator didn’t know that it was my staff who made the mistake). Researchers tried clicking the book but (it wouldn’t) download. Kaya ang pinakamaganda, refer to [the] blog dahil baka accurate naman So they thought the best thing to do was refer to the blog because maybe it’s accurate)."
In light of the revelation from Sen. Sotto’s camp, Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago was asked for her opinion about the issue. According to the report, Santiago quipped: "(The) speechwriter must have overlooked/forgot to include the word ’allegedly’. But this is not the academe where plagiarism is a mortal sin. We should give leeway in politics, as long as later on the source is acknowledged."

Episcopalians understand that our worship together shapes who we are and how we live. It's that important.
Most of us come together at least weekly to share in "the breaking of bread and the prayers" (Holy Eucharist) as did the early Church. Our worship proclaims the mystery of a loving God, honors the beauty and dignity of being human, and shapes us for our service in the world as followers of the Way of Jesus. All those who are hungry for God are welcome at the Table.
We include children in our worship believing that whether or not they understand the words, they too are formed by the "gather-transform-send" shape of our corporate worship: word and table—listening, blessing, breaking, sharing.
Check for times and directions, and continue reading below if you'd like to learn more.
The foundational texts for Sunday worship are the Holy Bible, the current revision (1979) of the Book of Common Prayer, and the Hymnal 1982. We are a liturgical church, that is our worship pattern is ordered (by our Book of Common Prayer) drawing on our rich heritage in the ancient traditions. Here's an article that introduces some of the appeal of liturgical worship to those who may be unfamiliar with it. Here's another one.
And this piece describes some of the reasons we sing together, and sing chants and hymns both old and new. And here's one about the importance of imagination in liturgy.
At St. Mark's we draw liberally on texts and hymnals for the Episcopal Church (e.g., the Enriching our Worship series, the Book of Occasional Services, Lift Every Voice and Sing II; Wonder, Love, and Praise; Voices Found; My Heart Sings Out) and from texts and hymnals of other Anglican traditions (e.g. A New Zealand Prayer Book, Book of Alternative Services (Canada), and sometimes from other Christian traditions (e.g. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America; United Church of Canada; United Church of Christ; United Methodist Church, etc.).
We use the authorized expansive language texts to broaden our image of God, because The Episcopal Church understands that "praying shapes believing" (lex orandi, lex credendi). Thus, if we pray using exclusively masculine imagery and pronouns for God, we begin to perceive that God is a man—and if God is a man, then "men become gods." We use the St. Helena Psalter and Psalter for the Christian People.
We use other texts as approved by our bishop, The Right Reverend Gretchen Rehberg.
Here's a commentary on liturgical worship to get you thinking about worship. And here's a piece about worship styles that we DON'T employ—and why. And for those interested in conversations occurring in the larger church, here's a piece on proposed revision of the current (1979) Book of Common Prayer (BCP) and what it might say about how we worship. And yet another about how the BCP can be seen to have an evangelical bent.
We're in Lent, a season in which we focus on our personal habits and practices (our "Rule of Life") and on our expression of our Christian discipleship. How do our habits and practices define us? How are they expressions of our knowledge that we are beloved by God? How do they reflect our gratitude for God's presence in our lives? How do they show our love for neighbor?
Our framework for our way of life is articulated in our baptismal covenant, and since the Great Vigil of Easter is an opportunity for baptism and for renewal of vows, Lent is an apt time to explore those promises.
Our next liturgical season is Easter—Fifty Days in which we celebrate new life in Christ's resurrection—the conquering of sin and death.
Check the calendar frequently to see what liturgical celebrations and worship opportunities are coming up. We offer special liturgies for many occasions in the life of the Church and in the life of the wider world. Notably, we include the following beginning with Ash Wednesday, which is coming soon. Check the calendar for more specifics as the days approach.
Lent: This season of return began on Ash Wednesday (March 6). Check the calendar for special liturgies throughout Lent—we continue the Daily Office of morning prayer (at the church and via Zoom). Details in the calendar listings.
The Easter Season: This celebratory season begins with the services of the Great Vigil (the liturgical highlight of the year) and Easter Day and continues through The Great Fifty Days, concluding with the Day of Pentecost. Check the calendar for times and details.
Feast Day Gospel Music Masses: On some of the great feasts of the church our mass (Holy Eucharist) draws its music from the wealth of American Roots music and music in the tradition of the African-American and Gospel churches. Our pickup Gospel Choir and Musicians are led by Melissa Parkhurst, ethnonomusicologist. We celebrated a Gospel Music Masses during All Saints'/All Souls' worship on November 4; our next offering will be on the Day of Pentecost, May 20, 2019.
Advent: The church year begins in Advent. As the season approaches, check the calendar for St. Mark's offerings.
A meditative service on Christmas Day, focusing on the "Christ-mystery" (John 1) rather than the historical events in the Holy Land.
All except "Blue Christmas" offer Holy Eucharist, and the two Christmas Eve services include a short carol-sing beforehand.
Monthly from October through May, on the second Sunday, we offer a Taizé-style service: a candlelit, reflective flow of short meditations, silence, and simple chants in the Taizé tradition (30 min).

This little app is all that I need.

It's muti-touch on my iPad -- that's impressive.
I now have a very portable CymbelStern on my iPad (plus small amplifier).
On an iPad you do more tha 1 note at a time. I’ve tried 3 successfully. Probably depends on a device with multitouch which the iPad has.

Silicone has become one of the new kitchen materials in the last few years. The change to silicone from non-stick coatings, plastic and other materials was made for several reasons.
In ice cube trays, silicone is being used because, while it's flexible like rubber, it lasts longer and stands up to extremes of temperature much better. It's also not prone to staining and absorbing the odor, taste and color of liquids like rubber or plastic would be. So if you want to make drinks with cherry or grape juice ice trays, the clean-up would be easy if you used a silicone ice cube tray.

Klamath County is an untapped mine of outdoor recreation. With a reputation of being untamed and wild, the region gives those who explore south central Oregon access to world-class fishing, and epic kayaking, canoeing, hiking, and mountaineering. A trip to Klamath County will rejuvenate your soul and inspire you to return to the region again and again.
Angeli has helped countless adventurers find the perfect destination—as well as the perfect gear—for trips in the stunning landscape of Klamath County. His store is an adventurer’s paradise, complete with a climbing gym and gear for any trek. With Mike’s help, we have created the ultimate three-day Klamath experience, ideal for anyone looking to explore the majesty of the region.
"Klamath Falls runs on coffee and outdoor recreation," Angeli says. “Nearly everywhere you go, you not only will find a great cup of coffee, but you will also be able to talk to staff and locals and get tips on great adventures.” While there are dozens of places to get amped up for a full day of adventure, Angeli highly recommends stopping by the local shop known as Gathering Grounds. At this small and cozy spot in a fun corner of downtown you can start your day with a delicious cup of coffee made from locally roasted beans.
In order to get to know the spirit of the region, your first adventure in Klamath County needs to be on the water. Collier Memorial State Park in Chiloquin is home to Spring Creek, where you can watch as the cold turquoise water bubbles up through pumice rocks from the spring below. The creek current isn’t too strong, and allows paddlers to go upstream without much effort for a fun out-and-back trip. The park itself is located at the convergence of Spring Creek and the Williamson River, so if you’re hunting for a trophy trout, this isn’t a bad place to start looking.
In addition to fun on the water, the park is fascinating to explore on its own, as it features an outdoor logging museum that displays equipment used in the region that dates as far back as the 1880s. A relocated pioneer village brings you even further back in time to a scene from the area’s earliest settlements.
Plan for a picnic lunch and enjoy the area’s towering pines. Hikers and mountain bikers will find a 10-mile primitive trail that connects the park to the nearby Jackson F. Kimball State Park. Travel through the connecting Winema National Forest via a Forest Service road. No matter what you like to do, you can easily spend a day in the park getting to know this scenic section of Oregon.
After a day of picnicking and paddling, head over to the Klamath Basin Brewing Company, where a geothermal brewed beer is waiting for you. Geothermal brewed beer? Let’s start at the beginning: Exceptionally pure water flows from the Cascade Mountains and Crater Lake into the area’s underground rivers. The brewery uses the water and a geothermal heating system—that is, using hot water underground—to heat the pure water in the beer-brewing process. This unique brewery is conveniently located in downtown Klamath Falls and has an incredible beer selection, as well as excellent dining options and lively entertainment.
For your first two nights in Klamath Falls, stay at the Cerulean Hotel. After paddling and a few beverages, staying at the Cerulean lets you walk back from the brewery and enjoy a comfortable room near the water. If you aren’t ready to call it a night, the hotel is right downtown, giving you access to parks, restaurants, and more of the fun stops in town.
To start your second day in Klamath Falls, hit up The Daily Bagel, which is located right downtown and serves coffee, bagels, and sandwiches. Open at 6 a.m., you can get an early start here before hitting the road for an epic hike.
Your best bet for a memorable hike around Klamath County is to go to Fourmile Lake in the Sky Lake Wilderness Trail System. This 113,849-acre wilderness occupies the crest of the volcanic Cascade Mountains from State Highway 140 to Crater Lake National Park,and includes three major lake basins. From the summit of the 9,495-foot Mount McLaughlin you’ll get an incredible view of southern Oregon. The high-elevation wilderness is mostly forested with red fir, western white pine, and mountain hemlock, but you’ll also find grassy meadows to explore and dozens of sub-alpine lakes. The area is known for its elk herds that call the northern third of the region home in the summer and early fall, as well as black bears, cougars, and coyotes.
For hikers looking to explore the region with a day hike, one of the best options is the Blue Canyon Trail, which will take you to several mountain lakes just northwest of Upper Klamath Lake and about an hour and a half from Klamath Falls. In addition to the scenic setting filled with Shasta fir, mountain hemlock, and western white pine, this trail is attractive because it’s nearly flat, enabling just about anyone to enjoy the journey. You’ll hit Blue Lake about two miles from the trailhead, followed by Horseshoe, Pear, and Island lakes. If you want to add some additional (and more challenging) miles, you can connect to the Pacific Crest Trail as well.
After wandering through the beauty of the Cascades, head back into town and enjoy the huge selection of pizzas found at Rodeos Pizza and Saladeria. Feast on handmade pizzas while sipping on a beverage from the great beer and cider selection before heading back to your room at the Cerulean Hotel.
After two days of exploring, sit down for a more substantial breakfast at the Waffle Hut. Here, your mouth will water over the amazing sweet and savory Belgian waffles, as you wake up with a strong and bold cup of coffee.
After filling up on amazing waffles, hop on two wheels and enjoy the nearby biking trails, maintained by the Klamath Trails Alliance. At Spence Mountain, about 15 miles from Klamath Falls, mountain bikers (as well as hikers and trail runners) will find 18 miles of trails to explore, varying in difficulty from easy to expert. The Moore Mountain Trail System is even closer to Klamath Falls—it’s on the southern tip of Upper Klamath Lake—and it features excellent views of both the lake and the Klamath Basin. Road cyclists have endless options. A favorite ride is to the small town of Merrill (about 20 miles southeast of Klamath Falls) via Hill Road. This is a nice, pretty loop that winds its way through farmland, next to mountains, and alongside the Lost River.
Finally, reward yourself with a stay at the Running Y Ranch Resort just north of Klamath Falls. Here you will find incredible amenities, like a full-service spa, trips to Crater Lake, an 18-hole Arnold Palmer Golf Course, and much more. Refresh and relax after your three adventurous days discovering the timeless beauty of Klamath County.

In order to comprehend how you’ll be taxed having inherited a home, you need to know how basis is calculated. Basis, in this case, refers to the asset cost for purpose of the calculation of capital gains along other taxes. When a person dies, the value or basis of their property in Prairie Village is increased to the market value as at the time of their death. For instance, if a person purchased a home 20 years ago for $25,000 but it was worth $100,000 at the time of their death, that property would be valued at the latter amount for the purpose of calculating capital gains.
Capital gains or losses refer to what you earn from selling property that you use for either personal or investment purposes. Such can be houses, furniture and many more things. If you decide to sell an inherited home in Prairie Village, that sale is regarded as capital gain or loss for the purpose of income tax. In most cases, for you to qualify for lower rates of long-term capital gains, you are required to have held that property for at least a year. However long the duration you have been in ownership of an inherited home, any gain or loss will still be treated as long-term.
Having an inherited home can be stressing given the fact that you have new property to take care of and pay taxes for it at the same time… You should go through the probate process in Prairie Village as the first step to selling your home. The court will then authorize you to proceed as you wish. If there are any other individuals involved in the inheritance, you should first agree with each other on that decision. You can then file a petition requesting the court to allow you to sell the property.
You should then consider how much tax you are to pay. This will be paid against the capital gains or losses resulting from the sale of the house. You can call kcmoHomeBuyer now at (816) 800-9044 to undertake a smooth and legitimate sale of your home. We are local here in Prairie Village KS and we know the market here better than anyone else. If you are still asking yourself what are the tax consequences when selling a house I inherited in Prairie Village, then we would be happy to discuss it with you in more detail.
Selling an inherited house can relieve you of quite a burden. In addition to that, selling the property to an investor is a basic simple and fast process. Contact us for inquiries on how to go about things when selling your home in Prairie Village and we will be glad to help you.

When it comes to choosing the kitchen benchtop material for your home, you will discover that you are spoilt for choice. It can be overwhelming to choose the right one for you and there are so many things you have to consider. For instance, you might want something that makes a bold statement. On the other hand, you might want something more affordable and yet still durable.
Natural stone countertops are quite popular for their unique and timeless qualities. If you want to create a luxurious, elegant and classic vibe inside your kitchen, then you might want to consider marble or granite. They can be a good investment for your home as they are durable and long-lasting. However, you have to be ready to spend more because you have to regularly seal marble to keep its stunning looks. You also have to be careful not to create stains on lighter shades of marble and granite.
Engineered stone benchtops are typically made of quartz aggregates and resin. Generally speaking, they are easy to maintain. They are also the affordable alternative to granite and marble. If you choose a good supplier, you may end up with a long-lasting and durable kitchen benchtop. The great thing about engineered stone materials is that they can mimic the look of natural stone. This means that you won’t have to spend a lot just to get the same luxurious look of granite or marble.
This material is ideal for people who want a warm and cosy feel for their kitchen. Timber is the perfect kitchen benchtop for country-style and rustic homes. This material is beautiful but it may require frequent maintenance, including regular sealing. While timber countertops can easily be scratched, you can simply sand the damaged area, seal it and it will look new again. You can also opt for recycled timber to add a distinct character to your kitchen.
Stainless steel countertops are common in commercial kitchens. However, you can also use them for your home if you’re aiming for a utilitarian look for your kitchen. Aside from that, metal kitchen benchtops are also easy to maintain and are quite hygienic. Those are also the reason why they are used in laboratories and kitchens. Stainless steel is a popular benchtop material but you can also opt for zinc.
If you want an affordable yet stylish kitchen countertop, you might want to consider using laminate. This material may cost less, but you must not expect the same durability that other options may offer. However, it is available in a range of designs and colours. This means that finding something suitable for your kitchen would be easier.
Acrylic benchtops have low-porosity and they are quite hygienic. Compared to other materials, acrylic has less visible joins. It is also easier to maintain than timber benchtops.
Not many homeowners use porcelain and ceramic tiles nowadays. However, if you want a truly individual kitchen without burning a hole in your pocket, you might want to consider them. You do have to be prepared to clean the grout lines. There are also porcelain or ceramic tiles that are porous. So, make sure you consult a professional kitchen designer before you make any decision.
Of course, your budget determines every decision you make for your kitchen renovation. So, narrow down your considerations according to the materials that will fit your budget. Doing so will help you avoid falling in love with a material that you cannot afford.
If you love cooking and you do it on a daily basis, you have to choose a benchtop material that is durable enough to handle abuse. You have to make sure that the material is stylish, beautiful and yet strong enough to handle daily use. It should not easily crack and should be resistant to stains.
You have to consider the overall style of your house when you are selecting the material for your kitchen benchtop. If you have a heritage home, you might want to avoid polished benchtops. They would only look great in minimalist and contemporary homes. It would also be great to have the same material for wet areas in your home, including your bathroom and laundry. It would be pleasing to the eyes to have a consistent colour palette in your house.
You also have to consider the size of your kitchen when selecting your kitchen countertop material. For example, you might be leaning towards granite or marble. It is important to note that you can usually get them in standard sizes of 3000 x 1400 millimetres. This means that if you need something longer than that, you might require a join. In this case, you won’t be able to aim for a seamless look for your kitchen benchtop.
You will find contractors and suppliers who are willing to design and build your kitchen benchtops to complement your kitchen cabinets. Keep in mind that you are the best person who knows how to store and work around your kitchen. So, your cabinets and benchtops should be built according to your preferences. If you wish, you can have the cabinets installed into an island. You can also have a galley type kitchen.
It can be difficult and overwhelming to choose the durable and stylish kitchen benchtop for your specific needs. The key is to conduct some research while consulting experts. Professional kitchen designers would be able to find the right material for your taste, needs and lifestyle. Doing so would allow you to get the best value for your money.

Snoozing passengers make drivers drowsy?
SLUMBERING PASSENGERS A DANGER? A German professor warns that drivers with sleeping passengers are at risk of becoming drowsy behind the wheel. Image: Shutterstock.
REGENSBURG, Germany - Car passengers should try their best to stay awake during long car journeys or risk making the driver feel drowsy too, a German professor warns.
When front or back seat passengers start nodding off, it automatically makes the driver feel sleepy as well, warned Juergen Zulley, a sleep researcher and professor for biological psychology at Regensburg University.
Zulley said: "Figures show that the risk of falling asleep at the wheel and being involved in a road crash is much higher with a slumbering passenger than with an alert person who keeps the driver in good spirits."
Zulley said the relaxed regular breathing and inert posture of a sleeping person can lull a driver into sleep.
Road safety figures show that one in four fatal road crashes on German roads is caused by a driver momentarily nodding off at the wheel and losing control of the vehicle.
Zulley advised passengers and drivers to watch for the tell-tale signs of driver fatigue, such as excessive yawning. Occupants should insist on a long break so that the person in charge of the vehicle can rest before continuing the journey refreshed.

Traditional liposuction generally produces satisfactory results, but many are advised to avoid the procedure if the targeted fat deposits are deep beneath the skin. Sometimes, fat collects in smaller regions in the arms, legs, or abdominal area. VASER LipoSelection® and SmartLipo are alternative fat removal procedures that involve the use of small cannulas to remove fat. VASER® Lipo is a rather new technique that involves using sound energy to break up fat cells. SmartLipo is a similar procedure but involves the use of tiny, single-fiber laser probes to heat up and melt the fat cells. Chicago residents can learn more about each of our body sculpting services in more detail when they come in for their initial consultation.
Our Chicago area clients are happy with the results they experience when we perform one of these procedures. The procedure is simple, and in most cases, there is little to no downtime for the client. If you do not want to undergo traditional liposuction but need to rid yourself of small pockets of fat, consider VASER LipoSelection or SmartLipo.
This alternative is considered to be far less invasive than traditional liposuction. Our surgeon harnesses the power of sound energy to precisely target areas of unwanted fat. Carefully adjusting the amplitude and frequency of the ultrasound, Dr. Bull controls the amount of energy that disturbs the fat cells.
The fat cells quickly break up as the cell walls burst. The fat is then removed via suction. A typical procedure that targets a specific area such as the belly can be completed in about one hour.
SmartLipo is similar to VASER® and traditional liposuction in that unwanted fat is removed through a cannula, but the process involves the use of thin laser fibers. The fibers are inserted into the cannula, and when the laser is fired, the heat melts away the fat. The fat is then removed via suction.
During the consultation with the client, we will outline both procedures and recommend one or the other based on our examination of the areas where fat needs to be removed. Choosing one of these techniques is not difficult, as the decision is based on the depth of the fat deposits, how large they are and the physical characteristics of the client. These include weight, proximity of the fat deposits to bone and muscle tissue and the client’s medical history.
Both of these procedures are designed to remove only small fat deposits. They are not performed as a means to remove large amounts of fat. Liposuction, whatever type performed, is not to be considered a weight loss program.
Results of both VASER® and SmartLipo can be quite dramatic. The fat is gone for good, and the surface of the targeted areas is now more naturally contoured.
We proudly offer both VASER® Lipo and SmartLipo for patients residing in the Chicago area. We also provide traditional liposuction for interested and qualified patients. Contact our office in Naperville today to learn more and to schedule a no-obligation consultation.

Will Bitcoin’s Lightning Network high transaction fees of altcoins?
Lightning Network technology could solve two of the most daunting challenges on the Bitcoin network, namely delayed transactions and transaction fees which have reached over $30 in the last few months.
This could disrupt altcoins that market themselves as helping users to lower transaction fees. For instance, Litecoin transaction fees are about $0.39, Bitcoin Cash’s 0.05, Ethereum’s $0.33 compared to Bitcoin’s $22.99. With Lightning Network, Bitcoin transaction fees could even go to zero.
Lightning network could also bring back some types of payments on Bitcoin network. Thus it is given that some had completely disappears as a result of high on-chain transaction fees. It will realize instant transactions on the Bitcoin network.
Lightning Network is a smart contract on the Bitcoin blockchain. However it allows coin holders to do fast, cheap payments between them. The parties can transact directly without broadcasting the transaction to all the nodes and publicly so it saves time. By avoiding to broadcast to all of the network, they avoid spending time meant to interact with the other parts of the blockchain.
It works by the two parties putting tokens in a two party multisig Bitcoin address. The two can then sign a new exit transaction to spend from the channel address. The most recent exit transaction signed by the two parties invalidates old exit transactions.
In case of dispute in the transaction, one party can send the last valid state that is the agreement by the two parties. This way, the last valid state signed by the two acts as a sort of judge.

SARASOTA — If you've looked at a tennis court or perhaps inside of a gymnasium recently and noticed people playing a game with small paddles and a plastic whiffle ball, your eyes aren't fooling you.
What you're seeing is a game of pickleball — and it just may be the fastest-growing sport in America. More than 3 million players play pickleball in the United States and that number has been growing by more than 10 percent each year over the past decade.
The love of the game was evident during a recent outing at Sun-N-Fun RV Resort, where a group of more than 20 players were playing on a humid summer morning.
"This grows so much for a lot of reasons, but I think a big part of that is because we're dealing with an aging population," said Tom Everitt of the Sarasota Pickleball Club. "A lot of those people play tennis, but Pickleball is a lot easier on the body. You're not running like crazy like you did when you were 20.
"We're in our 60's and 70's ... and I even play with some people that are into their 80's. They come out, they play, improve their game and they get addicted to it."
Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court that is roughly a quarter of the size of a tennis court.
However, the similarities between pickleball and tennis end there.
Serves in pickleball are underhand and there are no long volleys like in tennis.
The game is played around what is called the kitchen line which is seven feet from the net. Serves are not allowed to fall in the kitchen area and any player that steps inside the kitchen line during play — even if the ball has already cleared the net on a return — surrenders a point. Games are played to 11 points and singles or doubles teams must win by two.
"Pickleball is not that hard and it's easy to learn," said Carrie Palmer. "Anyone can learn this game and play it. The rules are simple."
Scott Tingley is a professional pickleball player who teaches the sport to new players around the area. Tingley, who has won more than 40 medals and earned bronze in the 5.0 players bracket at the 2016 U.S. Open Pickleball Championships in men's doubles, said the biggest parts of pickleball are its social aspects and the competitive nature of the game that allows middle-aged to retired people to have an outlet to exercise every day.
"Because the court is smaller, it helps those who have mobility issues have an outlet for a lot of exercise," he said. "I average 25,000 to 30,000 steps a day teaching and playing, so for those who say you can't get a lot of exercise that's definitely not true."
Palmer was a racquetball player that was immediately drawn to pickleball. She said that she knew she was addicted within two minutes of picking up a paddle for the first time. Now she plays all over the country.
"You meet the greatest people playing pickleball," Palmer said. "The contact list on my phone has expanded tremendously because of the friends I've made in this game. It's just a lot of fun."
There are currently no outdoor public courts dedicated to pickleball in north Sarasota County. Public indoor play is available at the Robert L. Taylor Community Center, the Venice Community Center and the Englewood Sports Complex. Sarasota YMCA facilities also have hours dedicated to pickleball for their members.
Palmer said there is a big difference between playing indoors and outdoors. The indoor game is a bit easier, while players have to deal with the elements and a different ball with more holes while playing on harder outdoor courts.
"They're completely different games," Palmer said. "When you play outside you have to rely on the skills that you learn and have just a little bit different of a touch."
"I always tell people don't be intimidated. Just seek out the people you're comfortable playing with," Everitt added. "Then challenge yourself. Play up every chance you get."
Tingley had a strong word of advice for those that are a little skeptical about giving pickleball a try.
"I'll hand you a paddle and say let me show you some things," he said. "Let me explain to you why this sport is addictive and so much fun. Once you put a paddle and a ball in somebody's hand, it won't be the last time they play for 90 percent of those people."

Franz Beckenbauer has hailed the coaching skills of Jurgen Klopp but stressed Bayern Munich are not interested in appointing him.
Klopp announced this week that he will step down as head coach of Borussia Dortmund in the summer after seven years at the club, whom he guided to two Bundesliga titles, the DFB-Pokal and the final of the Champions League.
Beckenbauer hopes to see the 47-year-old stay in the German top flight once his time at Signal Iduna Park comes to an end but says the champions are not about to offer him Pep Guardiola’s post.
Speaking at an event to mark a new media deal between the club and MSN, Bayern’s honorary president said: “I hope he will stay in the Bundesliga.
“Everybody [will] ask… but not Bayern Munich, because we have an excellent coach with Guardiola. Everybody would be very happy to have the interest of Jurgen Klopp, to get him.
Beckenbauer also said he understands Klopp’s decision to step down given Dortmund’s significant struggles on the pitch in 2014-15.
“First of all, I understand him personally because seven years, to be the coach of the same team, it is a long, long time,” said the 69-year-old.
“He has the same motivation but the players, they are just not into this like five years ago. The way they played this season he realised it’s very difficult to bring them back to the old performance. He said: ‘Okay, I did a lot in the last seven years but now it’s finished’.

We can all agree that visiting potential sites is an integral part of the site selection process for events. However, not all site visits are created equal. Rights Holders are looking for a quick trip to look at the venue to make sure it will work for their needs. Looking at facility specs on paper, or online, is helpful; but, we really need to see the space in person to identify any potential issues, planning the layout, and identifying branding opportunities. While not all Rights Holders are looking for the same experience, there are some common themes we look for to make the most of the visit.
Just as we ask for destinations to do their homework before our appointments at Symposium, we want you to do your homework before our site visits as well. Byron Hicks, the Manager of Events for USA Ultimate says, “Know my needs before I come and show me what I need. Don’t show me ball fields when I need linear field space.” One of the most frustrating experiences for Rights Holders on site visits is looking at facilities that we cannot use. For example, I run outdoor events, so I do not want or need to see indoor venues, it is simply a waste of time. One way that a destination can prepare for a visit is to look at previous events that we have held and see schedules or venue maps to get an idea of what our events look like in advance of the site visits. If you cannot find the information you are looking for, just ask us for it.
This is another area where it is important to understand our needs before the site visit takes place. Ask the Rights Holder if they want to see hotels or not. I think all Rights Holders would agree that we have no desire to look at individual hotel rooms (they are largely all the same). Unless your rights holders ask to see hotels or use meeting space in the hotels, you can skip these during our site visit. If your Rights Holder uses a third-party housing service, there is even less need for us to see the hotels.
For me, it is very important to meet the people we will be dealing with directly at the venues. That relationship is one of the most important pieces and can make or break an event. Arrange for the venue manager, or whomever we will be working with for the event, be on site during our visit. Kim Rogers, Director of Special Events for US Lacrosse agrees, “I like to see the venue and meet with whoever it is we would ultimately be working with at the venue. We are able to preemptively solve potential issues before the event starts when all the parties involved already have a working relationship.” Having the venue manager on the site visit is also helpful when we have venue specific questions that the venue manager can answer easily on the spot allowing us to visualize what the event will look like.
The timing of a site visit is also very important. This is also an area where it is important to ask the Rights Holder what they want to see, which can be difficult to anticipate, because Rights Holders are split on this one. Some of us want to see the venue while an event is going on, so they can see how things work in real time. Other rights holders want to see the venue when it is empty, so they have a clean slate to work to envision their event in the space. Ask them the question before you schedule the site visit, so if they want to see an event going on at the venue you can schedule it accordingly.
Rights Holders want the event to be win-win for everyone. Tell us what we need to do to make this successful. If we need to contact community leaders to garner their support, meet with community residents, or whatever else it may be we will be more than willing to do it if we want to host an event somewhere. A good rights holder will look out for the best interest of all in involved because in the end it is good for our events.

Who would've thought that Soulja Boy's career would be revived in 2019? Big Draco is back in the rap case with a purpose as he's been reminding everyone who gave them their swag. While many people think he's buggin' out, there's an argument to be made about the uncredited influence he's had in the rap game. Bow Wow believes that Soulja Boy isn't as crazy as people are making him out to be. In actuality, he agrees with what Soulja Boy's been saying.
Bow Wow doesn't think that Soulja Boy is doing anything new with his recent antics. Speaking to TMZ, Bow Wow praised Soulja Boy, saying that the "Crank That" rapper has always been this charismatic and fun person. In fact, he suggested that's where a lot of the new artists have gotten their swag from.
"The way he came in the game, he came in very original and left a print on hip-hop where it kind of ruffled the feathers of the OG's -- the hip-hop artists that came before us," he explained. " you see nowadays doin' what they doin' -- like, Soulja Boy was the first as far as the younger demo."
Bow Wow revealed that he was just speaking to Soulja Boy right before chopping it up with TMZ. If you thought that Soulja Boy has been joking about being the hottest rapper in the game, he's dead serious. Bow Wow revealed a private text message for Soulja Boy which made the exact same claim, reading, "I'm the hottest in the game right bow."

I have a friend who is going to shoot my maternity photographs, but since she is out of town and the due date is nearing I took the liberty to take my own photos. I shot all of these in natural light indoors and outdoors.
Today’s photograph was taken in Tenerife Spain. We went for a walk on the beach and found this rundown shack. It was a perfect moment with the dog taking his siesta.
I shot this photograph at the local zoo here in Belgium. This photograph depicts how I’ve been feeling lately. I am in my last month of pregnancy and my little girl should be making her presence soon! I’m so excited to get my body back and to be able to eat the foods I’ve been trying to stay away from during pregnancy. It’s only a mater of time. Happy Saturday!
I don’t have much to say today, but I recently printed this photograph in large format for my home and it is gorgeous! It looks pretty online, but when you see it in person it doesn’t even come close! When we went our road trip last summer through Italy I found so many cool wall and door textures. This one was my favorite. It’s like candy! If you love it as much as I do you can now buy it in my Etsy shop.
I recently got the pleasure to meet the designers over at Piece Of Chic a Belgian designer duo couple. My friend Marixenia Davilla who writes for the Eternal Optimist an online magazine invited me to come a shoot some photos for the article, which was awesome. I love getting to peak inside the studio of artists and see what they are working on. The designers Barbara Repole and Sébastien Pescarollo create these amazing textiles using photography and illustration. Their style is quite different and yet eye catching. I couldn’t help myself from wanted to touch all of their beautiful silk dresses and fabrics.
I’m starting to see all sorts of Christmas items being put in the stores, which excites me! I love Christmas especially all the things that come with it such as food, lights and decorations. And most importantly spending time with loved ones.
For Christmas this year I designed a holiday card for my photo jewelry, where I am offering free shipping when you buy two or more items from my shop! Heck I’ll even throw in free gift wrapping if you ask for it.
The other day I went to the cemetery in Ixelles. I find this place to be quite beautiful and peaceful. The most intriguing part about going there is that you can see headstones with old vintage photographs from the past. Who were these people, what did they do, how was their way of life?
Now that October is coming to a wrap I thought it would be nice to share these photos with you.
As you might know by now I love making jewelry. I used to be really in to beaded creations, but I recently picked up the art of creating photo jewelry. I think my style is not the typical photo pendant style where you add a photograph of a loved one. I mean there is nothing wrong with that style, but I really want to convey a unique look and feel. I have different styles of photography which can range from my Brownie Hawkeye, 35mm digital, or even my hipstamatic iPhone photos. Today I want to share the Hipstamatic photo pendants, cuff links, and rings that I’ve created. The Hipstamatic images can really give the jewelry a magical feel to it with its bright colors and contrast. So here are a few of my Hipstamatic creations. If you’re interested in seeing more of my photo jewelry then check out my online shop here.
Well it’s been about one year since I got married. August 21st to be exact. I wanted to give my husband something personal for our one year, so I made him cufflinks with photographs that I took from special moments that we shared. In this photograph you can see a total of four cufflinks. Only two are for my husband and the other two will go in my online store. The two cufflinks I gave him are the shadow images of us . The one on the bike has a special memory for me because we had gone to Sweden to visit his parents. It was a beautiful spring afternoon and we decided to ride our bikes around. My tire had lost air and so I had to hop on the back of the bike. He rode me all the way home and here is the photo I shot as I enjoyed the ride back. The other photo was when we took a day trip to the beach. It was a lovely day spent together.
