Mizzou Hoops caps a good weekend for Tiger fans

New, 386 comments

Here are today’s Mizzou Links.

It was a good weekend

Happy Monday morning, Tiger fans!

Having a hard time shaking off the sleep this morning? Just trying to make it to Wednesday/Thursday/whatever day you’re off work? Maybe take a few minutes to go over the weekend that was in Mizzou sports.

Friday: Basketball barely scrapes by Kennesaw State, one of the lowest ranked teams in Division I by Ken Pomeroy’s ratings, in the first round of the Paradise Jam.

Saturday: Football travels to Knoxville to take on the charging Volunteers, promptly 50-balls them.

Sunday: Basketball takes the court again, this time notching a flawed, but solid, win over a decent Power 5 team.

Obviously we’re here to focus most on the Sunday aspect of this weekend, but it’s good to be reminded how fun this weekend was overall.

Anyway! Back to yesterday. Obviously the big story is the Tigers 69-63 win over Oregon State, in a game which many people likely pegged for the Beavers after Friday’s debacle against Kennesaw State. However, Cuonzo Martin’s team slowed down the pace — and got to the line — enough to book a ticket to face Kansas State. They were paced by a senior point guard who’s been too injured to even practice.

“It’s been impressive to see how [Jordan] Geist has played due to not being able to practice because of his back,” Martin said. “He’s battle-tested and looks forward to those moments. ... He might say his back hurts all the time so he doesn’t have to practice.”

But it wasn’t just Jordan Geist. Kevin Puryear chipped in his second straight 17-point effort, providing some big plays to maintain the Tigers’ hold on the game.

Smith went to the bench with Missouri up seven and Puryear quickly extended the lead to nine with a floater along the baseline. From there, MU’s large lead began to evaporate. The Beavers responded with a 10-2 run in a three minute span, cutting the Tigers’ lead to 26-24... Puryear stopped the bleeding with a layup. The 6-foot-8 senior forward scored Missouri’s final six points of the half to lead all scorers with eight points in the first half.

Aside from Puryear and Geist’s put-the-team-on-my-back efforts, the Tigers continued their streak of solid ball security, a strength that has only been absent in the Tigers loss to Iowa State

A BCI nearing the 2.0 mark is good. Single digit turnovers is better. One thing I’m curious about is where this team ends up in the turnover area. Iowa State was obviously a low point but otherwise they’ve been fairly solid and the guards were even better, with only Pinson and Mark Smith (a charge) netting turnovers for the guards.

We’ve spent a lot of time digesting how the newcomers — Torrence Watson, Mark Smith, K.J. Santos — could help raise the floor for this season. But it’s still going to take consistently strong performances from Puryear and Geist to make this season one that’s fun to watch. They proved they’re up to the challenge this weekend. Hopefully they’ve got enough to propel the Tigers to an upset win against their old Big XII foe.

Report cards are in!

Per usual, report cards are in from Saturday’s game. They’re almost as fun to read as the game was to watch!

2016 Missouri opponent preview, Week 1: West Virginia

New, 10 comments

I've written about most of Missouri's 2016 opponents for SB Nation at this point, so let's start walking through the schedule.

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

My 2016 West Virginia preview went up at SB Nation back in May. Let's walk through a few key tidbits that pertain most directly to Missouri's Week 1 battle against the Mountaineers. (Note: This piece originally appeared back in May.)

1. Dana Holgorsen's seat is a bit hot

West Virginia set the bar high and then failed to clear it, first for a month, then for 30 key minutes.

That can be more frustrating for fans and administrators than simply being mediocre would be. Holgorsen and his squad showed what they were clearly capable of, then lost three games by 20-plus points and blew a double-digit lead.

Maybe it isn't surprising, then, that a few days after the loss to Kansas State, it appeared the school was considering firing Holgorsen. That didn't happen, but it revealed he's under pressure.

West Virginia was downright awesome for about two-thirds of last season but fell into a massive October funk (which coincided with good teams showing up on the schedule), then blew a double-digit lead at Kansas State late in the year. Suddenly, Dana Holgorsen is on the hot seat to some degree.

Whether he should be in trouble or not, it appears he is, and that could make Milan Puskar Stadium an interesting atmosphere in Week 1. We know quite well how a stadium can clam up at times when things aren't going as the home team imagined, and if Mizzou starts well against the Mountaineers, it could turn into a bit of a home-field disadvantage for WVU.

2. WVU was mostly bad against good teams and mostly great against everyone else

Did you notice that the four-game slump happened against the four best teams? It's possible WVU's success was totally dependent on having an athleticism advantage and that, when that advantage didn't exist, the Mountaineers had little to offer.

WVU's midseason funk coincided both with a key injury (safety Karl Joseph, the heart of the defense) and the meat of the schedule. A 12-game sample is sometimes too small for drawing definitive conclusions about trends, but we'll see if Missouri starts out the season more like Maryland (a top-80 team that lost 45-6 to WVU) or Oklahoma State (a top-40 team that won, 33-26).

3. The Mountaineers couldn't close

WVU's biggest problems came late, either in drives or games. The Mountaineers ranked 79th in Redzone S&P+, settling too frequently for field goals, and even though Josh Lambert was pretty good (17-for-19 inside of 40 yards, 4-for-9 outside), he was still asked to kick 28 field goals. [...]

To say the least, the Mountaineers were also ill-served by dreadful offense in the final 15 minutes of games. Granted, part of this sample includes blowout wins, but not all of it. In the first 45 minutes, quarterback Skyler Howard produced a completion rate of 58 percent, an interception rate of 3.1 percent, and a passer rating of 150.1. Fourth quarter: 41 percent, 4.9 percent, and 73.5, respectively. Yuck.

Mizzou's 2015 defense wasn't incredibly bend-don't-break, but it was certainly pretty good at shutting down scoring opportunities -- the Tigers were ninth in Redzone S&P+, while WVU's offense was pretty bad in the same category. Holding opponents to field goals buys you time.

Meanwhile, the longer you could stay close to WVU, the more it paid off. Without any efficiency options to lean on when they absolutely needed to move the ball (or kill some clock), the Mountaineers struggled mightily late. So uh, Mizzou should stay close for a long time then. #analysis

4. The offense was inefficient

It's impossible to overstate how important efficiency can be for a tempo offense. West Virginia ranked seventh in the country in Adj. Tempo, but 41 drives lasted three or fewer plays before a punt or turnover. On nearly one of every four possessions, WVU's defense got off the field only to have to go right back on. That's a tricky combination.

This is a Holgorsen offense, and WVU wants to play at the highest possible tempo. But while the passing game was awesome at creating big plays, QB Skyler Howard only completed 55 percent of his passes, 51 percent over the final 10 games. Leading receiver Shelton Gibson is a tremendous deep threat, but Mizzou allowed fewer big pass plays than anyone in the country last year. Slow the big gains, and WVU might not be able to lean on the small ones. That means a lot of really quick three-and-outs and a tiring WVU defense.

5. The WVU OL vs. the Mizzou DL will be a huge matchup

When it came to run blocking, WVU's line passes lots of tests (with help from RB Wendell Smallwood). The Mountaineers ranked eighth in opportunity rate and 27th in stuff rate. They kept a relatively clean backfield, and now they basically return three starters and two half-starters.

WVU's most efficient running back, Smallwood, is gone, but the line should still be a strength in blocking for Rushel Shell and Howard. We are assuming that Mizzou's defensive line will be both strong, even without Walter Brady, which makes this a huge matchup, especially if WVU is still struggling to generate efficiency through the air.

6. The Mountaineer defense attacked you

WVU's ability against the run was encouraging. This defense ranked third in Rushing Success Rate+ and returns three of its top four up front. But the line will be thin and under pressure. Outside of the three key returnees, no other returning lineman recorded more than 5.5 tackles last year, and with the top four linebackers and four of the top six defensive backs (plus Joseph) gone, the line could have to cover for some inexperienced moments in the back.

WVU was willing to risk big plays to force three-and-outs and turnovers last year. Against an offense like Missouri's, that approach was destined to succeed. But Mizzou has a new offensive coordinator, infinitely more experience, and a couple of new play-makers, particularly Alex Ross. Meanwhile, the WVU defense has to replace most of its starting linebackers and DBs. The WVU defense was miles ahead of the Missouri offense last year, but the gap has shrunk. The question is pretty obvious: Has it shrunk a little or a lot?

7. WVU's awesome linebackers are all gone

Nick Kwiatkoski, Shaq Petteway, and Jared Barber combined for 32.5 tackles for loss, nine sacks, and 14 passes defensed in 2015; WVU didn't make a ton of plays behind the line of scrimmage, but the chaos created by the linebackers resulted in a lot of confused quarterbacks. It also meant a lot of one-yard rushes.

The Mountaineer defensive line is strong enough to test a Missouri offensive line that still has a ton of question marks. But if WVU only wins that battle and doesn't dominate it, Mizzou might have the opportunity to test the play-making skills of a brand new WVU linebacking corps.

8. Most of the awesome DBs are too

It's a similar story in the back. WVU won't lack for experience -- of the eight returnees who played last year, five are seniors and three are juniors (plus, Miami transfer Antonio Crawford is a senior as well) -- but the Mountaineers still must replace a ton of known play-makers. Corners Daryl Worley and Terrell Chestnut combined for nine picks and 23 PBUs, plus four forced fumbles. K.J. Dillon had 6.5 tackles for loss from the SPUR position. Joseph had five interceptions in just four games.

WVU still has a secondary made of mostly juniors and seniors, so raw inexperience won't be an issue. But we won't know ahead of time how good these new starting DBs are. WVU relies on a nickel base for a large portion of the time and relies on speed and hard hitting. Can Mizzou force a few mistakes? Or at least, can the Tigers force more defensive mistakes than WVU forces on the other side of the ball?

I felt better about this matchup than I originally did when I began writing the WVU preview. The Mountaineers will be favored for obvious reasons, but their biggest strengths from last year are getting diminished a bit, and Missouri might be able to take full advantage of offensive inefficiency issues.

If the Tigers can force some early three-and-outs and show at least a little bit of promise offensively, that stadium might get awfully nervous in the second half. WVU still has the edge, but Mizzou has a chance.

    Norm in CA

    Great tool

    My KTM 2004 Hard Equipment catalog has this wrench in it. I had always wondered how to get spoke tension even. The KTM owner's manual simply says to strike each spoke with a screwdriver and listen to the tone. That always struck me as pretty crude if the goal is the strongest most stable wheel. In practice, I found several loose spokes on each wheel that the tone-test would not have detected. I torque everything else on the I have the spokes right too. Great tool.

How to use the following profiles

In this section there are examples of profiles designed to solve even the most complex geometries. Each profile corresponds to the new nomenclature "F", F1, F2 up to the latest studies that arrive abundantly beyond the number 100. With this new approach, for each "F" profile, Rolleri proposes at least 5 solutions able to bend the profile through studies and sequences of reworked folds. The profile, the number of items to be bent and the characteristics of the bending press used are considered: length, span, stroke, power and tangs. With these elements the most appropriate study is prepared, evaluating together with the customer the best solution for the return on investment.

Each proposal includes an example through a drawing with all the bending sequences. For shorter parts, the possibility of working at a station is always evaluated in order to reduce machining times through a single set-up of the press brakes. For longer profiles, on the other hand, tilting is reduced to a minimum, always paying great attention to operator safety.

Thanks to this new approach, it will be possible to evaluate a study with standard tools, with modified standard tools and with multi-fold design dies or the combination of the 3 possibilities. For some applications Rolleri produces the mould sample with the wire EDM department or for some tools, through CAD, we send the file to the new 3D printing machines to have the prototype made in a few hours and immediately start the bending tests.

New Bob Ross Netflix Doc Shows Battle to Profit From Artists' Name - Rolling Stone
Home Culture Culture News

New Bob Ross Doc Exposes the Battle to Profit Off the Painter of Happy Clouds

From the painter’s flirtatious ways getting him into trouble to the claws-out fight over who owns his name, here are five takeaways from the new Netflix documentary on the PBS star

Bob Ross was known for his permed hair and his sanguine PBS TV series, The Joy of Painting, where he taught art to viewers nationwide for more than a decade in the 1980s and early Nineties. But as a titillating trailer suggested last week, his career wasn’t all happy trees and clouds.

The new documentary, Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal and Greed, now streaming on Netflix, covers the span of Ross’ career with a focus on his relationship with business partners and Bob Ross, Inc. co-creators Walt and Annette Kowalski, who family and friends say used Ross to turn a profit and used legal strong-arming to claim the rights to continue to license his name after his death.

Ross’ son Steve Ross is the main source. He’s a painting instructor himself and came up against some legal red tape when he tried in 2016 to develop art supplies using the Ross name — his own name — because someone else owns it.

Lacking participation from the Kowalskis, the documentary leans heavily on Steve’s telling of the story, presenting Ross as a tree-hugging romantic who would have painted nature’s landscapes for free forever, had evil capitalists not swooped in to exploit his talents. Other reporting on Ross’ career suggests he was a shrewd businessman himself, and Annette Kowalski once described him as a “tyrant” with regards to his career decisions.

Interviews in the documentary with several friends and fellow artists support Steve’s assertions about the Kowalskis’ controlling nature, however, and the public record documents several legal battles over Bob Ross paintings, art supplies, and his name following his death. More than a dozen additional interviewees declined to participate, the documentary reveals, citing concerns over the Kowalskis’ litigious nature.

Here’s what we learned:

1. Ross was “discovered” at a painting class by a grieving mother.

Annette Kowalski met Bob Ross in 1982 when she attended his in-person painting class in the aftermath of her son’s death. “She was looking for something, and she found it in Bob Ross,” Ross’ son Steve says in the film. “And it wasn’t just the painting. It was something bigger than that. She felt renewed, inspired by Bob.”

“I called Bob and I said I don’t know what you’ve got, but I think we ought to bottle it and sell it,” Kowalski explains in archival footage. She and her husband Walt went into business with Ross, forming Bob Ross, Inc., and launching a career that included in-person art classes, and later his TV show that ran for 31 seasons (from 1983 to 1994), and a line of art products branded with his name.

Ross’ friend and fellow artist John Tham believes Ross didn’t realize what he was getting into with the partnership. “He was just not into it for the money,” Tham claims. “But the Kowalskis certainly were.”

2. Family-friendly painting show notwithstanding, Ross was quite the flirt.

It wasn’t a coincidence that The Joy of Painting followed the publication of the 1972 book The Joy of Sex. “He was trying to be a little sexy,” Steve said in the documentary, referring to Ross’ affect on TV. “He pretends like he’s talking to one woman, in bed,” Kowalski said in archival interview footage. Ross himself said he imagined speaking to just one person when he filmed the show, and it was someone he was “crazy about.” In his bedroom voice that would later become an icon of ASMR, he often told viewers to “caress the canvas,” and in one clip even, “make love to it.”

To some adult fans, he reached sex symbol status. His friend Dana Jester and son Steve Ross recalled one in-person art demonstration where Ross asked for help navigating a crowd of adoring fans. “After he finished his painting, he goes ‘Steve, Dana come here. You guys need to protect me. All these ladies are wanting my autograph and they’re following me and I’m trying to go to the restroom,’ ” Jester reveals in the documentary. “They were ripping his shirt off his chest,” Steve recalls.

3. Ross reportedly slept with his later-embattled business partner.

Steve reveals that his father had an affair with Annette Kowalski, and claims he overheard the truth come out while Ross and his second wife Jane argued one Christmas about whether he was “having relations with that woman.” The Jenkinses, a married couple and colleagues of Ross’ in the art TV world where they taught viewers to paint flowers, said that when they’d attended trade shows with Ross in the Eighties, they’d picked up him and Kowalski for dinner from the same hotel room. “We knew there was funny things going on there,” Kathwren Jenkins said in the documentary. Friends of Ross’ also described Kowalski acting jealous of any close relationship Ross had with a woman, including when he was friendly or flirtatious with fans. Bob Ross, Inc. and the Kowalskis denied to the filmmakers that an affair occurred.

4. Ross continued working and appearing on TV even while battling cancer at the end of his life, allegedly against the wishes of his business partners.

In 1994, Ross was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. He wore a wig, Steve said in the documentary, to continue appearing on a TV show for kids after he began to distance himself from the Kowalskis and stopped working on Joy of Painting. “The Kowalskis got angry that Bob looked sick,” Steve said. “But he insisted… that he would be able to do the television show. Walt and Annette were totally against it. They both thought of Bob as something they had packaged and that they had made from the beginning. They didn’t want people to know he was sick.” The Kowalskis denied to the filmmakers that there was ever a rift in their relationship with Ross.

Ross’ wet-on-wet technique relied on paint thinner to clean the brush between paint colors. Ross had a habit on Joy of Painting of flicking the brush back and forth against the leg of a table or against a trash can to shake off the excess liquid, which sprayed into his jeans and into the air. “Almost every episode he’d be smacking that brush around,” Tham said. “All the effervescence of the paint thinner would float up right into his nostrils…. I always wondered if that didn’t have something to do with the lymphoma. I’m not a doctor, but it’s speculation.”

5. The Kowalskis and the Rosses have battled over the Ross name, before and after Ross’ death.

As Ross grew sicker, Annette Kowalski pressured him to sign paperwork for what Steve said she described to him as a memorial she wanted to build for Ross. When Steve looked at the language, however, it also turned over Ross’ “name and likeness” to Bob Ross, Inc. as registered assets. Ross refused, but that didn’t stop the Kowalskis from intensifying their efforts. “They knew he was getting closer to death, and as he did, they got more desperate,” Steve said, describing daily phone calls where his father shouted into the receiver. “You could hear him screaming, ‘I’m not giving you my name; you’re not getting my name!’”

Jester, who the documentary reveals is also a business partner of Steve’s, said the last time he spoke with Ross, Ross told him about the ongoing battle. “He said he wanted nothing to do with [Bob Ross, Inc.] or The Joy of Painting,” Jester said. “He said, ‘They’re trying to steal my name on my deathbed.’”

The most recent legal fight ended in 2019, when Steve learned he did not own his father’s intellectual property. Steve, who supports himself as an artist and attempted to license his own line of art supplies still does not benefit from the Ross name while BRI continues to make millions a year licensing lunchboxes, halloween costumes, jigsaw puzzles and more.

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect that there is no current legal filing between members of Bob Ross Inc. and Bob Ross’ estate or family.

See the Killers Perform 'Land of the Free' Live for First Time - Rolling Stone
Home Music Music News

See the Killers Perform Stirring ‘Land of the Free’ Live for First Time

Band also plays ‘Hot Fuss’ track “All These Things That I’ve Done” on Kimmel

The Killers performed their politically charged recent single, “Land of the Free,” for the first time live in their Las Vegas, Nevada hometown during Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday. The TV show, which normally broadcasts from Los Angeles, is shooting in Vegas this week. The Killers also delivered 2004’s Hot Fuss single, “All These Things That I’ve Done.”

Singer Brandon Flowers opened the song alone on piano before a choir chimed in with a repeated chorus of “land of the free” and the rest of the band joined in. The song criticizes President Trump’s proposed border wall, institutional racism and America’s gun violence. Towards the end of the performance, Flowers rose from the piano and took center stage to deliver a powerful a cappella. “So how many daughters, tell me how many sons do we have to put in the ground before we just break down and face it?” he queries. “We’ve got a problem with guns.”

In January, the band released the Spike Lee-directed video for the song, which highlights the struggles and resiliency of real-life migrant families near the U.S./Mexican border. The Killers are slated to headline a number of festivals beginning this summer, including the U.K.’s Glastonbury in June, Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Kentucky in July, Woodstock 50 in Watkins Glen, New York in August and Nashville, Tennessee’s Pilgrimage Festival in September.

Don't Panic, But Beyoncé May Be A No-Show At The 2019 Grammys

Any awards show Beyoncé shows up to is bound to be a good time. The mom-of-three has an incredible stage presence, a killer sense of style, and she knows how to have fun. Given all of these qualities, it's fair some fans want to know whether Beyoncé is going to the Grammys on Sunday, Feb. 10. Unfortunately, there's a good chance she won't attend because she isn't competing for any awards this year.

Beyoncé did attend the 2018 Grammy Awards that took place in New York City. The 37-year-old songstress, in true superstar fashion, arrived to the ceremony late, according to HuffPost. Beyoncé also showed up with 7-year-old Blue Ivy and JAY-Z by her side, the latter of which happened to be nominated for eight awards that year, according to People. Considering JAY-Z had a big night that evening, it's no surprise she showed up to lend her support.

As for 2019's event? The Beyhive shouldn't get their hopes up for a few reasons. For starters, neither Beyoncé or JAY-Z are nominated for awards this year. It's a bit of a snub considering the two released their surprise album, Everything Is Love, in June 2018, according to NPR.

Everything Is Love was the third album in a trilogy about the ups and downs of JAY-Z and Beyoncé's relationship. Beyoncé got to tell her side of the story in Lemonade, while JAY-Z gave his response in 4:44. Everything Is Love, however, was a joint effort.

Many fans argued that Everything Is Love deserved a nomination, a sentiment that's understandable given the Beyhive's love for JAY-Z and Beyoncé.

"Everything is love was snubbed but we are used to this bc the Grammys always snub the carters," one person tweeted.

Another said, "Everything is love was snubbed but what’s new. The Grammys don’t acknowledge talent so I can’t even be disappointed anymore."

Oh, and I did I mention JAY-Z didn't walk away with any Grammys in 2018 despite his eight nominations? I think it's safe to say JAY-Z and Beyoncé probably aren't going to shower the award show with love following these supposed snubs.

Another factor in Beyoncé possibly skipping the event is her seemingly low-key schedule for the next few months. After a busy few years (giving birth to twins in June 2017, going on tour from June 2018 to October 2018, performing at Coachella in April 2018, releasing a new album in June 2018, etc.) it would be reasonable for the singer to invest in some downtime. Instead of showing up to the Grammys, Beyoncé should hang out at home and order Postmates instead. She deserves it.

Of course, there's always the chance that Beyoncé will show up and delight us all. The performer could attend out of support for her friend Alicia Keys, who is hosting the event this year. Beyoncé seems like a ride or die kind of person, so I wouldn't rule this possibility out.

The final verdict? Fans will have to wait it out for Sunday to see whether or not Beyoncé makes an appearance.

What Are Your Rights On A Plane When Flying With Kids? So Much Can Go Wrong

Flying with kids can be nerve-wracking under the very best of circumstances. Even when all parties involved are being fairly cooperative (meaning, not just your children, but also the flight staff and all the potentially irritable passengers), it can be tough to keep everything under control. But what if your toddler has a meltdown or the airline has seated you two aisles away from your kindergartener? We've all heard stories of families getting booted off of flights for seemingly unfair reasons. So what are your rights as a parent on an airplane?

The issue is a complicated one, even though federal regulations do exist protecting parents and kids on planes (more on that below). That's because flight staff can't always be counted on to enforce these policies (more on that below, too). It's not fair, but it is the reality.

"Parents deserve peace of mind when traveling and that includes not having to get stressed out about how their children will behave," Henrik Zillmer, CEO of AirHelp, an organization that helps provide legal services to airline passengers, tells Romper.

To that end, as the saying goes, "forewarned is forearmed" (meaning, the more educated you are about your rights, the better equipped you are to fight for them). So I took a look at several of the most common challenges parents have to deal with during flights, and what the actual rules are regarding how to handle them. The skies might not always be kid-friendly, but you can try to make them as accommodating as possible!

Crying Babies

Perhaps unsurprisingly, most airlines don't have any official rules on the books regarding crying babies, as an article on Today explained.

That doesn't mean airlines don't realize that shrieking infants aren't often an issue of contention on flights, of course. (In 2016, JetBlue even ran a promotion called “FlyBabies” which gave passengers 25 percent off their next ticket every time a baby cried on a particular flight, reported Today.) It just means there aren't any official guidelines — which is good and bad, depending on how you look at it. On the one hand, there's no hard and fast rule banning cranky tots from air travel; on the other, this gives flight staff the freedom to sometimes handle situations in less than ideal ways.

Case in point: Arielle Noa Charnas, who claims she was asked to leave the first class section of a Delta flight with her "screaming" 9-month-old baby and retreat to the back of the plane because of her fellow passengers' complaints, as Us Weekly reported.

"I started crying because I was so stressed and anxious and instead of the stewardess being helpful and compassionate she instead made the situation worse," Charnas wrote in an Instagram post.

In the end, Charnas refused to move. And when Delta heard about what happened, they offered the family refunded tickets plus $300 each.

In other situations, as with Susan Peirez, a woman who was recently filmed yelling at a mother and her crying baby before their plane even took off, the flight staff might take a family's side. When Peirez, who insisted on being seated farther away from a young mother and her baby, threatened the flight attendant (telling her "You might not have a job tomorrow"), she earned herself a one-way ticket off the plane.

So really, what's going to happen on your flight if your baby is fussy depends largely on the temperament of your flight staff and fellow passengers.

Sitting Together

It seems only fair that kids and parents should always be allowed to sit together on airplanes without having to pay extra for the privilege (after all, it's not like a stranger would want to sit next to your cranky toddler anyway). But even though the FAA Reauthorization Bill of 2016 was supposed to guarantee that families could fly together without fees, "the rulemaking for this law has never taken place," Charles Leocha, co-founder of the consumer advocacy group Travelers United, told CNBC.

That could be why occasionally there are incidents like the one that happened last year when two families with small children were removed from a Jetstar flight because the parents asked to be seated next to their children (Jetstar claimed the family "had taken other passengers' seats," according to The Sun, but various witnesses defended the families, saying they weren't being rude or disruptive).

Some airlines do try to be more accommodating than others (by letting them pre-board to find seats together or asking other passengers to move). Do some research before booking a flight, and if you can't secure seats together, family travel expert Suzanne Kelleher told CNBC that your best bet is to check online 24 hours before your flight (when you should be able to see your seat assignments).

"If you see that your seats are not together, call your airline's customer service center."

Whatever you do, be careful about getting into any interactions with flight staff that could escalate into a high-tension situation.

As top Connecticut criminal defense attorney Mark Sherman tells Romper, the consequences of disrupting a flight are far more serious than any crimes committed on the ground.

"Intimidating or interfering with a flight crew member or flight attendant is a federal crime that exposes you to up to 20 years in prison," he says. "There are no first time offender programs or slaps on wrists for these federal crimes. The stakes are extremely high.”

Car Seats

Unfortunately, the use of car seats on airplanes is another thing you can't necessarily count on airlines to be cooperative about, despite the Federal Aviation Administration’s mandatory kid seat rule which states that "passengers who buy seats for children under the age of two have the federal right to use aircraft-approved child restraints," as aviation safety consultant John Goglia writes in a Forbes article.

Even if you're in full compliance with all regulations, there's no guarantee you won't come across a flight attendant who refuses to let you board with a car seat (as mother Jenny Creek found out when she was reportedly forced to hold her one-year-old daughter on her lap during an American Airlines flight, according to Forbes, to cite just one of many examples). There are a few things you can do to help prevent the likelihood of this happening, however. Make sure that your child restraint system is approved for use by your airline and clearly labeled, Goglia says, and learn how to properly install it ahead of time (you can find all the info you need on the FAA's website).

Another tip: Alert the gate agent in advance that you'll be traveling with an approved child restraint system and ask for their help in ensuring you're allowed to bring it on board.

"I've heard from a number of parents that this pro-active strategy has worked," writes Goglia.

"Have your documentation ready and be prepared to show the aircraft-approved label. If you get to the gate early enough, there is time to work out misunderstandings before you board the flight."

Kids Acting Up During Takeoff

Parents of preschoolers everywhere cringed when a family was kicked off Cathay Pacific flight in 2015 because their rambunctious 3-year-old wouldn't stay in his seat or allow his seat belt to be fastened. This kind of behavior is of course absolutely typical for the average tot, but as a spokesperson for the FAA told Today, it's well within the pilot's rights to bounce a family from a flight if a child won't settle down and fasten his belt.

It all comes down to safety (both your child's and the safety of the other passengers on the flight).

Walking Your Baby Up And Down The Aisle

What happens if your little one starts to lose it after you've reached cruising altitude? Assuming your fellow passengers don't make a huge fuss, you should be able to walk up and down the aisle or stand in the back and bounce your baby.

"While technically the crew has the ability to remove passengers at their discretion, unless your child is causing a safety concern, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about," says Zillmer.

"If your child is anxious or crying, you should feel free to walk up and down the aisle to soothe her — as long as the seatbelt sign is switched off, you have nothing to worry about."

RSBC and the Diocese of České Budějovice Establish a Joint Venture

Press Releases

RSBC and the Diocese of České Budějovice Establish a Joint Venture

Named RSBC Consortio, the joint venture will mainly focus on investments into real estate. The company is prepared to invest to the tune of hundreds of millions crowns into real estate projects.

For the RSBC Group, an investment conglomerate specializing in long-term investments into companies in Central and Southeast Europe, the association with the Diocese of České Budějovice has a special importance. "It is a partnership based on shared lasting values. We believe in a conservative approach and in building fair relationships that bring lasting prosperity to all partners," explained RSBC's founder Robert Schönfeld.

For the Diocese of České Budějovice, forging a partnership with a strong investment group is another step on the path to full emancipation from the state. "We hope that a business partnership with an experienced investment group will help us achieve financial self-sustainability following the separation of the church from the state," added David Henzl, Vicar General of the Diocese of České Budějovice.

"A partnership of the church and a private investment group in a joint venture shows that as elsewhere in the world, a nonprofit organization in the Czech Republic can establish long-term cooperation with the financial sector, including a non-bank institution," commented the transaction J&T Bank's Chief Economist Petr Sklenář. According to him, investing into a real estate portfolio is a step in the right direction, away from asset management practices used in the nonprofit sector in the past, which mostly relied on simple financial instruments, bank products in particular.

After an unprecedented year, how will the pandemic have shaped interior trends to come?

There’s no doubt how we used our homes, and what we want from them, changed dramatically during 2020. According to home renovation and design platform Houzz, this is already being reflected in popular search terms and design directions.

So, what can we expect to see more of in 2021? The team analysed their site data, browsed hundreds of home design photos, and interviewed professionals to reveal six key home design trends for the year to come.

Here’s a look, along with tips on how to make them work in your home…

1. The return of the all-white kitchen

(Mia Mortensen/Houzz/PA)

This neutral, light-enhancing choice for the hardest-working room in the house is growing in popularity again, with searches for ‘white kitchen’ rising significantly during 2020. We’re also seeing many popular photos on Houzz that have white worktops and expect to see more in 2021, perhaps reflecting a pandemic-fuelled desire for clean-looking cook spaces.

"We’re seeing a resurgence of white kitchens but with people leaning towards matte designs rather than gloss, which was favoured a few years ago," explains Josh Delane, director of kitchen designers, The Wood Works. "It pairs well with metallic accents like brass, bronze, copper and even matte black fixtures."

In terms of worktops, Delane says: "Veined and marble effect quartz worktops are surging in popularity – a good alternative to real marble, which is porous and can be stained easily, making it challenging to maintain in a kitchen. White Corian is also a popular choice and nice on longer islands, as it can be cut and joined seamlessly."

2. Outdoor entertainment spaces will reign

Unsurprisingly given all the pandemic restrictions, there’s been huge interest in outdoor spaces. The pandemic survey back in July showed that, hands-down, the garden was the area most of us wanted to improve, with 30% of those surveyed wanting to make upgrades.

Homeowners have increasingly been searching for ‘summerhouses’, ‘firepits’, ‘hot tubs’ and ‘outdoor kitchens, which have all risen in popularity as search terms. We expect to see more of these features in gardens in 2021.

"People have rediscovered the importance of outdoor space and how it can enrich modern life. The most popular requests are for outdoor eating and cooking areas, including pizza ovens, and also for firepits to extend the use of the garden into the evening," says Paul Dracott of Paul Dracott Garden Design.

3. Nature-inspired interiors

The incorporation of nature into our interiors looks set to continue, with colour experts predicting warm earth tones, such as burnt umber, terracotta and clay, and contrasting forest colours like sage, pine and turquoise will be strong choices for 2021. These colours are perfectly complemented by natural materials such as rattan, jute, wood and concrete.

If you’re wanting to embrace natural materials in your home, rattan is a good place to start and will continue to be big in 2021. Omar Bhatti, director of Space Shack, says: "It has a bohemian vibe, which you can mix with any interior. To avoid overkill, my top tip is to use it in moderation. I would suggest investing in a rattan accent chair or small planter baskets and see how you like this in your space."

Plants are another easy way to incorporate nature into interiors. Bhatti agrees: "You can never have enough plants. If I’m ever in doubt and need to fill an empty space or shelf, I always use plants. This is also a great way to bring the outdoors in and breathe some much-needed life into any space.

"I’m all about an oversized plant, this is a great way to bring some drama into any room. Banana plants and birds-of-paradise are good options."

If you’re going to get the paint out, Bhatti suggests a palette of natural neutral tones. Beige and taupes are classic options that work in any space. "I recommend painting all your stark white walls in a light sand or beige tone, which will warm up the space, and you wouldn’t even need an undercoat," he says.

4. Healthy homes

(Mia Mortensen/Houzz/PA)

Searches for ‘home gym’ and ‘garden gym’ have both risen dramatically during 2020 too. In 2021, we expect to see more exercise equipment that fits seamlessly into interiors, or furniture that doubles up.

"When thinking about portioning off a room in your home as your dedicated exercise space, it’s important to choose a room that has a fitting purpose, lighting and mood," advises Joe Robertshaw, director of Place for Humans.

"Being motivated to exercise at home also comes down to ease and accessibility, the more hurdles that stand between you and the exercise, the more likely it is to go undone."

5. Multi-functional spaces

One thing 2020 really brought about was a need for rooms to be multi-functional. As a result, we're starting to see professionals incorporate more hybrid designs, detachable units, and convertible pieces to create a home suited to the 'new normal’.

One example, which saw a surprising rise in popularity as a search term, is ‘murphy bed’ (a pull-down design), suggesting a need for homeowners to hide away large pieces of furniture in bedrooms or spare rooms during the day, so they can double as offices while many of us work from home for the foreseeable future.

"Given the current circumstances, our spare rooms have never been so important. Making spaces work for multiple occasions is critical to being able to utilise every centimetre of space in the home," says Richard Hobden, director of RHJB Architects.

"A comparatively easy win is to replace the divan or fixed frame bed in the spare room with a simple folding bed. This can be a stand-alone piece of furniture or built into a storage wall, disguised as wardrobes. This will free up space elsewhere to create a multi-purpose study, home gym or playroom solution."

6. Luxury vintage

(Sofie Barfoed/Houzz/PA)

Sustainability, climate change and the impact we have on our planet continue to be a big theme for 2021. There is a growing interest in high-end, second-hand furniture, which aligns with the interest in sustainability we’ve seen.

When buying second-hand furniture, try to see the item in person if you can (safely, of course). Buying online is very convenient but it’s much easier to hide any serious damage in a photograph than in person. "I like to be able to touch the item and check it’s in good condition, so I’m not too keen on buying from online resources, unless they have an option for you to view it first," says Bhavin Taylor, director of Bhavin Taylor Design.

And make sure you know all of your measurements – an absolute must for multiple reasons. "There’s usually no returns policy when buying second-hand," Taylor explains. "If you buy a piece that’s the wrong size, it’s likely you’ll be stuck with it." So remember to measure your doorways and other access points first.

"There’s nothing worse than buying something and not being able to get it through the front door," adds Taylor.

The planned acquisition of stockbroking firm Goodbody by a consortium of Chinese investors led by the Zhongze Group will not proceed.

The proposed deal, which was announced last summer, was understood to be worth around €150 million.

In a statement this evening, Goodbody and its majority shareholder Fexco said they "have jointly taken the decision not to proceed with the proposed acquisition of Goodbody by a consortium of Chinese strategic investors".

They added "both companies have concluded that the rationale for the original transaction is no longer applicable due to a proposed change in the make-up of the shareholder structure made by the acquiring group".

Goodbody and Fexco also said the stockbroking firm’s balance sheet was strengthened following the sale of the company’s stake in the Irish Stock Exchange last year and that the company "retains significant financial capacity to drive its strategy forward".

Last November the deal reportedly stalled because the Central Bank was awaiting necessary information from investors in order to grant regulatory approval.

Goodbody is Ireland's oldest stockbroking firm, tracing its origins back to the 1870s.

It was acquired by AIB in 1990, which managed the business through to the 2008 financial crisis.

In 2010 Goodbody was sold to Kerry-based financial services firm Fexco for €24 million.

Since then Fexco's stake in the firm has fallen, as staff and management increased their shareholding.

Fexco now holds 51% of Goodbody, with staff and management holding the remaining 49%.

What Are 4 Types of Child Personalities?

Reviewed on 6/25/2021

Everyone is born with a distinct personality type and unique characteristics. The four personality types according to Hippocrates are choleric, sanguine, melancholic and phlegmatic.
Everyone is born with a distinct personality type and unique characteristics. The four personality types according to Hippocrates are choleric, sanguine, melancholic and phlegmatic.

Everyone is born with a distinct personality type and unique characteristics. Knowing your child’s temperament can help you understand why your child does the things they do. It may even help you solve behavioral problems. Hippocrates has categorized personalities into four broad types. Your child may have characteristics belonging to different groups. Strict categorization may not always be justified. However, often, the child may show the qualities of one specific personality type more prominently than others. The four personality types according to Hippocrates are

1. Choleric

  • This personality type is passionate, outspoken, competitive, determined, strong-willed and adventurous.
  • Usually, choleric are goal-oriented and may be very logical and analytical. They may not be particularly social.

2. Sanguine

  • This type is lively, playful, imaginative, talkative and sociable.
  • Sanguine kids may be carefree, optimistic, adventurous and not afraid of risks.
  • These children might get bored easily and have a hard time without entertainment.

3. Melancholic

  • This personality type is deep, detailed, respectful, tidy, careful and fond of traditions.
  • They are also social and want to be helpful.
  • These children are not as fond of adventure or risks as other personality types.

4. Phlegmatic

  • This personality type is thoughtful, attentive, controlled and diplomatic.
  • Kids with phlegmatic personality types often need close personal relationships.
  • They are loyal, avoid conflict and enjoy helping others.

The four categories may also be simplified.

Extraversion or introversion

  • This category describes a child's focus (inner or outer).
  • Extraverted children are outgoing and talkative, whereas introverts are more reserved and self-reflective.

Sensing or intuition

  • This category has to do with how children perceive the world around them.
  • Sensing individuals are more likely to focus on reality and information at face value (what they can see and hear).
  • Intuitive individuals are more likely to envision alternatives or hidden possibilities and tend to focus more on the bigger picture rather than concrete details.

Thinking or feeling

  • Children in the thinking category are more factual and prefer to make decisions with logical reasoning.
  • Feeling individuals are more likely to be empathetic, recognizing the impact of emotions on decisions.

Judging or perceiving

  • Individuals in the judging category believe in firm rules, organization and planning.
  • Perceiving individuals prefer a blank canvas, leaving their options open for whatever direction life takes them.

Personality is speculated to continue to develop throughout several stages from infancy to adolescence. However, research has identified three personality types that are displayed quite early in life as young as preschool age. These three types persist throughout adulthood. Besides, some speculate that these different personality types lead to different outcomes in various areas, such as school, socialization, behavior and self-esteem. The three personality types with their associated traits are

1. Resilient

  • Extraverted
  • Conscientious
  • Good at modulating emotions
  • Bounce back from adversity
  • Self-confident
  • Positive orientation toward others

2. Over controlled

  • Shy
  • Self-conscious
  • Uncomfortable around strangers
  • Low receptivity and openness to try new things and constructive feedback from others
  • Low flexibility
  • Inhibited emotional expression and low emotional awareness
  • Low connectedness with others
  • Perfectionistic

3. Under controlled

  • Disagreeable
  • Lack self-control
  • Low conscientiousness
  • Low impulse control
  • Emotionally dysregulated
  • Aggressive

Just as no two kids are the same, no two parenting techniques should be the same either. It’s important to identify children’s personality types to know what they need to thrive. Sometimes, the temperaments of parents and their children seem to fit well together. For other families, they are the source of endless conflict. It would undoubtedly be challenging to have a highly active child living with relatively low-energy parents in a cramped apartment. However, it’s important to remember that children can’t change their temperaments easily. An understanding of the aspects of your child’s personality, which are beyond their control, can lead you to a greater understanding and acceptance of your child as they are.

Pulitzer Prize winner and Architect Toyo Ito

A Message from Architect & Pritzker Prize Winner, Toyo Ito

Architect and Pritzker Prize winner, Toyo Ito, visited RYOZAN PARK on 24th March 2020. After his visit, he wrote a wonderful message to us which we’ve printed below.

Dear RYOZAN PARK members,

Thank you very much for hosting me and my staff the other day. We were impressed with the wonderful facilities that reflect Takezawa-san’s mission. We found the visit quite thought-provoking indeed.

We know that these days are difficult, and we all need to cope with the frustration of everyday life at the moment. Our mission is to think about how we can create comfortable, happy places for people to gather. It’s really upsetting for me as we are not allowed to do that at the moment and I am pretty sure you all feel the same way. I am convinced that you are all sharing your house and office not only for economic reasons but also with the wish to connect with other people’s hearts and minds. That wish is, in fact, essential when considering the future of city life.

While embracing how silent Tokyo is now, I also feel strongly that we are experiencing a warning from nature. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we humans are so superficial that we keep focusing on the economy and the cycles of wide-scale economic development. But our world is telling us that there is something more important than that.

I really hope that we can overcome this crisis soon. I look forward to seeing you all and enjoying time with you again.

Toyo Ito

Architect Toyo Ito visited RYOZAN PARK during the time of COVID-19 in March 2020 (prior to the government’s state of emergency announcement).

RZP co-founder, Noritaka Takezawa, enrolled in Ito san’s architecture school after learning about it from his book, “The Transformation of Architecture”. It was here that he learned how to build a community and was inspired by various presentations given by the school’s teachers.

Nori also had the opportunity to travel to the Tohoku region to support the rejuvenation work after the 2011 earthquake. As a result of this, over the last 8 years, he has continued to study and learn at Ito san’s architecture school whilst creating a community that includes, a share house, share offices, co-working spaces, and an English preschool.

Later this year, in June 2020, Ito san’s architect school will organize a public event on the topic of, “How we can live in a modern society”. Nori has been invited to speak and present at the event. He will talk about growing RYOZAN PARK and the making of its community.

Greater Ann Arbor Area Quilt Guild: Celebrate the Quilt From Home 2020

On August 1, 2020, the Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild will open its 16th Biennial Quilt Show, “Celebrate the Quilt From Home 2020.”  Every even-numbered year, GAAQG members create items to enter into this non-juried show.

As its primary service project, GAAQG supports SafeHouse Center.  GAAQG members make and donate an average of 300 quilts per year, which are given to each new client upon arrival and to take home when they leave.  The guild also raises several thousand dollars each year, much of it at the Biennial Quilt Show, to help support SafeHouse Center’s work.

The virtual show will be posted on the GAAQG website for an extended period so you will have time to study these pieces of art from the comfort of home.  Please share this online quilt show with your family, friends, and neighbors and help GAAQG and SafeHouse Center extend their reach across the country and around the world!

GAAQG normally charges $6.00 admission to the show.  Thank you for considering a donation in that amount or greater to SafeHouse Center.

Inspiring positive change for the ocean through sailing, research and the creative arts

Our Vision

Sail Britain inspires positive change for the oceans. We work towards cultural exchange and ocean literacy through exploration and education under sail. We welcome people from all backgrounds, and particularly those for whom sailing is inaccessible, to join our programme to explore our marine environment, culture and heritage, and highlight the beauty and importance of our oceans.

Sail with us!

A Think Tank for the Oceans

The Ocean is becoming increasingly out of sight and out of mind. As a society and as consumers we are distanced from it’s ecosystems and our human impact upon them, while being ignorant of the crucial role the oceans play in maintaining a habitable planet. Our programme provides a unique social space where participants can develop innovative ideas and creative projects which promote a greater understanding of the oceans.

Changing our Relationship with the Sea

Experiencing the Ocean under sail gives an opportunity to develop a very personal connection with the sea. Ocean literacy and science communication is an important element of the project, and we carry equipment such as a moving image microscope, plankton/microplastics net and acoustic hydrophones to enable a view into the life of the ocean beyond our senses.

Creative and Cultural Exchange

Our interdisciplinary programme explores the marine environment from diverse perspectives, from its cultural and historical importance to environmental issues such as marine aquaculture, plastic pollution, climate change, and eroding coastlines. By working with artists and engaging in outreach activities, we communicate our stories and research to a wide audience, highlighting the cultural importance of our relationship with the sea and the connection between ecological issues and society.

“Sail Britain is one of the most accessible, transformative and impactful ocean programmes I have ever encountered.”

– Arzucan Askin, Founder, LSE Marine Society

auto playing auto muting video

‘Not Suitable for Recycling’ by James Llewelyn from Stage3Films tells the story of a week exploring plastic pollution in our oceans

Sailing is a unique social activity which offers huge potential for personal development, both for individuals and in groups. A sailing boat is an inclusive social space where everyone works together as valued members of the crew. It offers the freedom to explore and interact with others, as well as to take on individual responsibility and leadership roles. From raising anchor to setting the sails and navigational planning, we provide the support and training to make sure everyone can get involved, whatever their ability or experience.
