Borretsch (Borago) ist eine Pflanzengattung in der Familie der Raublattgewächse (Boraginaceae).

Beschreibung

Vegetative Merkmale
Die Borago-Arten sind einjährige oder ausdauernde krautige Pflanzen. Die oberirdischen Pflanzenteile sind borstig bis rau behaart. Die Stängel sind aufsteigend bis aufrecht.

Die wechselständig am Stängel angeordneten Laubblätter sind ± deutlich gestielt. Die einfachen Blattspreiten sind eiförmig bis verkehrt-lanzettlich.

Generative Merkmale
Jeweils wenige gestielte Blüten sind locker über Tragblättern in endständigen, verzweigten Blütenständen angeordnet, die die Form von Wickeln aufweisen.

Die zwittrigen Blüten sind fünfzählig mit doppelter Blütenhülle. Die fünf Kelchblätter sind nur an ihrer Basis verwachsen und vergrößert sich nach der Anthese. Die blaue, rosafarbene oder weiße Krone ist radförmig ausgebreitet bis glockenförmig. Es ist höchstens eine kurze Kronröhre erkennbar. Die aufrechten Schlundschuppen sind kurz, kahl und ausgerandet, sie ragen aus der Krone heraus. Die Staubblätter überragen die Schlundschuppen deutlich und setzen fast am Grund der Krone an. Die Staubfäden haben am oberen Ende ein langes, schmales Anhängsel. Die Staubbeutel hängen anfangs um den Griffel herum zusammen und sind später frei. Der Griffel überragen die Schlundschuppen nicht und enden in einer kopfigen Narbe.

Die Fruchtstiele sind ausgebreitet bis hängend. Die Klausenfrucht zerfällt in vier ± aufrechte Teilfrüchte (Klausen), die gedrungen, verkehrt-eiförmig, gerade und unregelmäßig runzelig sind. Ihre Ansatzstelle ist konkav und von einem Ringwulst umgeben.

Chromosomensätze
In der Gattung Borago wurden Chromosomengrundzahlen von x = 6, 8, 9 oder 15 gefunden. Es gibt drei Ploidiegrade basierend auf der Chromosomengrundzahl von x = 8.

Blüten- und Ausbreitungsökologie

Blütenökologisch handelt es sich um Glockenblumen, die Nektar führen und einen Streukegel besitzen. Sie werden durch Bienen bestäubt.

Die Ausbreitung erfolgt durch Ameisen (Myrmekochorie).

Systematik und Verbreitung

Taxonomie
Die Gattung Borago wurde 1753 durch Carl von Linné in Species Plantarum, Tomus I., S. 137 aufgestellt.

Äußere Systematik
Die Gattung Borago ist die Typusgattung der Tribus Boragineae, die zur Unterfamilie Boraginoideae innerhalb der Familie Boraginaceae gehört. Die Gattung Borago ist monophyletisch und die Schwestergruppe von Symphytum.

Innere Systematik und Arten mit ihrer Verbreitung
Die Gattung Borago ist weitgehend auf den südwestlichen Mittelmeerraum beschränkt. Vier der fünf Arten kommen nur in Nordwest-Afrika, Korsika, Sardinien und am Toskanischen Archipel vor. Lediglich der Borretsch (Borago officinalis) wird sehr weit verbreitet kultiviert und kommt oft verwildert vor.

Die Gattung Borago enthält fünf Arten in zwei monophyletische Untergattungen:

 Untergattung Borago: Sie enthält drei Arten und zeichnet sich durch aufrechten Wuchs und blaue, radförmige Blüten aus.
 Borretsch (Borago officinalis ): Er ist in Nordafrika, Süd- sowie Osteuropa und in Westasien verbreitet. In vielen Gebieten, beispielsweise in Mitteleuropa ist er ein Neophyt.
 Borago trabutii : Sie ist ein Endemit des Hohen und Anti-Atlas in Marokko.
 Borago longifolia : Sie ist Endemit im nördlichen Algerien und Tunesien.
 Untergattung Buglossites : Die nur zwei Arten sind beschränkt auf die Inseln Korsika, Sardinien und Capraia. Diese beiden Arten sind niederliegend und haben helle, glockenförmige Blüten.
 Borago pygmaea  (Syn.: Borago laxiflora , Borago laxiflora ): Sie kommt auf Korsika, Sardinien und auf der toskanischen Insel Capraia vor.
 Borago morisiana : Sie wurde 1992 erstbeschrieben. Sie kommt nur auf der kleinen Insel San Pietro südwestlich Sardiniens und an wenigen Fundorten auf der Hauptinsel Sardinien vor.

Namenserklärung
Der Name Borago leitet sich vom arabischen araq für Schweiß ab und bezieht sich auf die Verwendung als u. a. schweißtreibende Heilpflanze. Der Name ist mittellateinisch, er kommt von arabisch abū `āraq: Vater des Schweißes, Schwitzmittel, schweißtreibendes Mittel.

"My aims are limited. My tools are words that enter arguments presented in books, essays, and lectures, arguments that develop quasi-abstract ideas which challenge the minds of those who are members of the academies... My own experience... tells me that ideas do have consequences."
I am honored to write a short note on occasion of the 80th birthday of James M. Buchanan. In this short paper, I will try to write how Professor Buchanan has influenced my writings and also his dominance and credit in Turkish acedemia and politics.
Honestly and frankly, I would say that I discovered Professor Buchanan myself. Unfortunately, I was not aware of Buchanan and his writings when I was an undergraduate student. I took a Public Finance course at the undergraduate level, where no detailed account of the contribution of professor Buchanan was given. While I was taking courses for my master's degree, I tried to read his Public Finance (co-authored with Marilyn Flowers) and Public Finance and Democratic Process: Fiscal Institutions and Individual Choice with my poor English. His textbook was quite interesting for me, because of his challenging ideas to the orthodox theory of public finance. I thought that he was an "unorthodox" economist. In 1986, he was awarded with the Nobel prize in Economics Science. Afterwards, I read more news and articles about him.
While I was taking courses for my Ph.D., I started to read professor Buchanan's other studies. Unfortunately, the university library was terrible, but fortunately, there was an American Library at that time in Izmir. The library was small and very well organized. I had found several more books of professor Buchanan at that library. I met with the interesting ideas about the political decision making process by reading his books.
I started to study on my dissertation while I was taking courses. I had talked with my supervisor and convinced him that I wanted to write my dissertation on the supply-side economics, which was a hot topic at that time. I had gotten unofficial approval from my supervisor and I started to collect reading materials on the supply side economics. Everyone was talking about the Laffer Curve at that time. But, after I read his several papers on the Laffer effect2, I thought that the Laffer effect was a naive approach to explain a good tax system. Then, I started to read Buchanan's writings on tax constitution.
During my doctoral study, I tried to find a fellowship to visit the Center for Study of Public Choice, where he was a General Director. I was successful to get a grant from the Turkish Higher Education Board. I wrote a letter to Professor Buchanan requesting an acceptance letter to study at the Center. In only three weeks, I got two letters from the Center, one from professor Buchanan and the other from Professor Viktor Vanberg, who was visiting scholar program coordinator.
In November 1987, I went to America and stayed at the Center for Study of Public Choice for a year and a half. I met with Professor Buchanan and his colleagues at the Center. I have great admiration and a deep respect for him. I was lucky to stay with Betty Tillman, who has been his secretary for more than 30 years.
I had another chance to stay at the Center, for an academic year between 1994-1995. I worked very hard to broaden my horizons and expand my knowledge. No doubt that I got a great vision from Professor Buchanan's writings. I had a very limited knowledge on Philosophy and Ethics. I started to read on philosophy and ethics. I started to think that not only an interdisciplinary approach, but also interdisciplinary studies were necessary to have a good vision.
Vision, yes...But, what about the mission!... Vision is something that you get personal benefit, and no spillover to others unless you are a writer or a speaker at the audiences. Here, I would like to say that I like very much the concepts of Vision, Mission, Strategy and Action. I decided to carry over the new and creative ideas of Buchanan and other public choice scholars to the Turkish academia and politics. I determined my mission, strategy and action. At the academia, I worked with the young scholars very closely. I became doctoral supervisor to many students and motivated them to work hard in the field of Public Choice and Constitutional Economics. When I look back, I can see now more than 10 high quality doctoral dissertations were written and defended successfully. Right now, one Ph.D. student of mine is writing a dissertation specifically on "The Contributions of James M. Buchanan to the Political Economy."
I worked very closely with the NGO's, which are a very powerful channel moving ideas to the political arena. I always thought that academics should have a moral obligation to criticize the ongoing politics and recommend alternative reforms for the political decision making process.
With this idea, I published several books ( Optimal Government, Economic Constitution, Reinventing Government in a Changing World etc.) together with the NGO's.
I do believe that professor Buchanan's ideas had –and still have- a great impact to change of the World. We live in a century in which great transformations have occurred and the winds of change have been continuing. No doubt that no winds of change occur without ideas. As professor Buchanan noted in the quotation that I put to the beginning of this paper "ideas do have consequences."
Buchanan's "profound knowledge" and his commitment to the work ethic has had an enormous effect on the radical reforms in the United States, in Europe and in the developing nations. Turkey is a good example of that.
Of course, change is difficult and takes time. But we all come to accept that in the long run ideas are very powerful to achieve the change.
It may take many years to read Professor Buchanan writings. His biographical data4 shows that he has authored some 30 books and countless numbers of articles and monographs. He has contributed to many areas of the social sciences. He started his academic career with Public Finance. His first book was Public Principles of Public Debt published in 1958. Since then he has published many studies and became the founding father of a new research field called Public Choice and Constitutional Economics.
My purpose here is to give some examples from other economists and political scientists, who reviewed some of the books and articles of professor Buchanan. It should be noted that many books and articles have been written on Buchanan to date.
All of these remarks acknowledge that Professor Buchanan has contributed greatly to the Economics, Political Science and other related sciences.
To me, he is a deep thinking scholar of this century.
He is one of the most creative social scientist of our time.
He is an idealist and constructive rationalist and contractarian, for he believes that we all can construct the good rules for a free and a just society.
He is a constitutionalist, in that he proposes that we should adopt new constitutional constraints on the power of the government.
He has consistently advocated an individualistic society.
He has devoted himself to the development of the individualistic, contractual and constitutional bases for the theory of political decision making process.
He is a highly productive writer, being the author or co-author of several dozens of books and countless dozens of articles. Many of his books and articles have been translated into other languages.
He was awarded with some 10 honorary doctorates by many universities and other institutions from all over the world.
There is no doubt that he is one of the great thinkers who have changed the vision of the state. Many countries now discuss his ideas widely both in the academic and political circles. One can see that his proposals for constitutional reform are being put into effect both in developed and developing countries.
We owe you much and I do believe that next generations will always owe you much more than our time because we hope that they will live in freedom, peace and welfare.
His ideas have changed the world. He is one of the intellectual leaders of the ongoing change and sweeping reforms throughout the world.
Without doubt that he is one of the most influential economists of our century.

Assault and harassment: report on the social networks has risks
July 9, 2020 17: 50
Stéphanie Marin
MONTREAL — The denunciation made on Instagram by the singer Safia Nolin against By Morin reminds us that the acts of a sexual nature unwanted between people of the same sex remained unknown. But accuse on a social network can harm a victim if she would like to see one day a criminal conviction, prevents the director-general of the clinic Juripop.
Safia Nolin has told on Tuesday to Instagram one evening, which took place in 2018.
READ ALSO: Accused of harassment, By Morin apologizes to Safia Nolin
READ ALSO: Accused of harassment, By Morin withdraws from the public sphere
She relates that the popular presenter has touched, he has bitten a thigh in addition to her about sexually explicit and racist. By Morin has apologized for his behavior, without recognition of the specific facts reported by the author-composer-interpreter. The allegations of the two women have not been tested before the courts.
The aggression between people of the same sex remains a subject little known in 2020, has explained in interview to Me, Sophie Gagnon, director of the clinical Juripop, which specializes in sexual violence.
Women are less raw, because people do not conceive of an assault by another woman – because they are not considered violent – and the men who are assaulted by another man are being told that they only had to defend herself, she summarizes the inclusion of bias well entrenched.
And because of this, victims are more reluctant to lodge a complaint, " she adds.
But it exists, and the clinical Juripop see more and more cases, as it strives to join members of the LGBT community+. Recently, the ex-politician André Boisclair has been the subject of criminal charges for a sexual assault which is said to have been a victim of a man. Éric Salvail, too.
Safia Nolin has used social networks to denounce, as is increasingly the case.
Juripop respects the choices of everyone, tells Me Gagnon. For some victims, the judicial process is the avenue preferred, for others not. Some of them want to remain anonymous, others want to put their abusers out of state to harm.
"We consider that the person who is best placed to make decisions, it is the individual victim, it is the survivor herself."
But to proceed by way of social networks carries risks, " said the lawyer, if a complaint to the police is considered.
Because in a case of sexual harassment or assault, there are often no witnesses. The burden of proof rests on the shoulders of the person making the complaint.
"That means that its credibility is crucial."
If they made statements before the trial, the defence lawyer will obtain them and use it to contradict it, and will compare to report differences between the versions, in order to try to undermine his credibility, " says ms. Gagnon.
And this can complicate the work of the police.
In the case of Safia Nolin, it is possible that there was never a complaint to the police. She confided to the journalist of The Press, Hugo, Dumas, she does not believe in the current justice system, which would favour white men and heterosexuals, according to the latest reports Thursday.
But for those who want their abusers and stalkers are brought to justice, ms. Gagnon their stresses, during consultations on their rights and remedies, the risks of making statements about the public square. The Crown prosecutors do the same, " she said.
We remember that the young Alice Pack, which had denounced the mna Gerry Sklavounos, had seen all his statements in shell. The women who testified at the trial of radio host Jian Ghomeshi have also seen their statements analyzed with a fine-tooth comb. However, a victim may decide to be an opportunity to go into more details than another, for all sorts of reasons.
Carrying charges on the social networks, "in identifying by name the people, there are also risks in terms of damage to reputation, defamation, which may arise", adds the director of Juripop.
Ms. Gagnon also points out that to see a well-known public figure to denounce it in the public place assault by a person of the same sex may help others who have experienced a similar situation. Sometimes, "it creates a domino effect," she said.
Also, since Monday, the phone lines in the clinic Juripop do dérougissent not.
Because since the beginning of the month of July, a new wave of denunciation is surging in Quebec: the allegations of assault and sexual harassment increase against figures from the web.
Those of Safia Nolin arrived at the same time.
Juripop has even had to increase the staff assigned to answer these calls for help.
The legal clinic provides free legal advice and confidential, in all the regions of Quebec and in different languages.
And as sometimes the solution is not legal, the lawyer stresses that the clinic Juripop has partnerships with the CAVAC (Centre d'aide aux victimes d'actes criminels), and with the CALACS (Centres d'aide et de lutte contre les agressions à caractère sexuel and violence against women) to offer psychosocial services.

The Seattle Globalist is a nonprofit, community-driven media outlet. Qazi and the crew of the Everett Community College newspaper where he worked when he first arrived in the Northwest. See: Though it may not be a good idea, people do often hookup through work contacts. They also have an orientation for new people, and they advertise some rules about no means no and such, but I have no idea how they're enforced, or what are the norms in that group.
Where to Pick Up Girls in: Seattle, Washington!
Our stories are always available for free, but we need your help to sustain the Globalist now and into the future, and to bring you articles like this one. You have social permission to talk to anyone, and it is an easier setting to find points of mutual interest or connection. When I was at my cousins wedding in Karachi recently, I noticed that it was almost the majority of people my age that appeared to have a much easier time dating there than I do here. You can network through house parties and gatherings and actually talk to strangers. Memories: I should write up my thoughts on how to host a good house party sometime. It can be hard to convince them that I enjoy a glass of beer as much as I like a juicy bacon cheeseburger.
If you feel yourself getting nervous, remember that you can be a person who is confident, because strangers don't know your personality. Do you like weird interesting people? Oh well, at least I have my husband so I'm not totally alone up here. It's not that far from downtown either. Serves food, so some will be eating, but it remains populated after the kitchen closes. I went to some gatherings hosted by some colleagues who brought uni girls with them, however, most of them were just looking for getting laid and not interested in making friends 2: I tried to meet up some classmates from school, but then again, they are all guys and they are just looking for girls, they weren't interested in meeting up and start a friendship with me knowing that I have a really stable relationship 3: I tired to go to meet up groups like some from meetup. People here are really nice, but at the same time many new transplants to the city feel a chill that goes with it. I was born and raised in this lovely rainy city of Seattle but I have always struggled with the dating scene.
Where are the best spots to pick up women in Seattle?
At a good house party people feel safer. Don't just go to parties to pick up women though. Then, I wouldn't get a call back. I don't wish them harm, but I'm usually just not in the market for more people in my life. As a member, you will enjoy an atmosphere of secure and private online dating in Seattle.
Because it can also be millions of members wanted the same thing and there may be more people who meet these criteria. I am taking the advice of sticking to a hobby around a neighborhood then friendship flows. That is lame and kills the fun of the space. I haven't been to any Eros Events parties, so I can't tell you anything about them. Skill level is all over the place, so take some lessons and go to mingle.
Good place(s) to meet single women...?
The reason Asa did this was because even 150 years ago there were still too damn many men to the number of women in Seattle. Trans dating sites can be your best choice. A few of the monitors there can be pretty heavy-handed about this, but the intentions behind it are basically good: they want to make it a safe and hassle-free place for everybody. I'm 30, white, good enough looking, and am not afraid to strike up a conversation with strangers. Join Take some creative classes, get involved in community theatre. Start learning how to be friendly. It's great fun when you realize that you literally get one shot at life, and standing on the sidelines is no way to live it.
This is a nice way to see who could be your best bet quickly. We'll get to the mod queue as soon as we can. Besides, the more people, the better opportunity you have to meet someone. Most of their events admit single people. Singles can go in and enjoy a strong drink and mingle with other seafood lovers.
I like that there are questions to get some idea of whether you match. The whole thing is weird, so my recommendation is to buy the table fee and drink at your leisure. I'm another Seattle native who will admit to the Seattle freeze being a real thing, but I object to the term snobbish. Go early to hang out with some friends. If you follow some basic rules and simple, you will definitely be able to create a big business online meetings from your dating service software. No matter what kinds of partners do you want, onlone dating sites can really meets your needs. Edit: Most of the friends I have moved here after graduating from my Uni.
Where can I find trans women to date in Seattle?
Named after the popular poem by Lewis Carroll, The Walrus and the Carpenter is a bar that also serves delicious seafood appetizers and snacks. If you are living with a roommate then it's a total different story from living by yourself. Be warned, Salsa clubs are pretty much the only thing to do on Sunday in Seattle and all have a cover. There's meetups in pretty much every area, and some have been better than others by a long shot, so just keep trying. A son, one of the most gregarious and friended guys in his birth state, tried Seattle out for a year and then said It's like everybody already has enough friends. If you want to do one, Or just start one, if you know what to do! This is partly due to the tech industry, and lack of wars. But they only give you chopsticks, and you have no idea how to use them.

IMPALED NAZARENE Finland
IMPALED NAZARENE -
There cannot be a more suitable date to announce another band for OEF 2008 than the running Christian orgies - Christmas. Not only that it is really our present under the Christmas tree of grind for you, the fans of OEF, but also Christmas is just the best day for telling you such a piece of news. A nuclear bunch from the land of thousands lakes under the leadership of maybe the biggest obscene blasphemer ever Mikka Luttinen will come to play their sodomising rock´n´roll at OEF. Yes, you are reading that correctly! The next band for 2008 are really the cult IMPALED NAZARENE!!! Goat Sodomy Alleluia!!!!
To all those who doubt if it is the right choice for OEF we definitely say yes – the best one.
You would search with difficulty for a more appropriate band for a fest called OBSCENE EXTREME than these verily obscene perverts from Finland rolling their mad and raw black/death metal along the lines of filthy street punk rock. And if you think that IN have never managed to follow up with the success of Soumi Finland Perkele album, you have not heard their new work Manifest for sure that has been released lately. It shows the band in a form it has never been before!!!
It remains nothing else than to get ready for the attack of an insane leader Luttinen and his brute bunch of pigs and for the slaughter that is going to be there at the anniversary volume of OEF undoubtedly….
November 1990: Impaled Nazarene formed. The first line-up is Mika Luttinen-vocals, Kimmo Luttinen-drums, Mika Pääkkö-guitar, Ari Holappa-guitar and Antti Pihkala-bass.

US team switches from WMD hunt
The Pentagon is planning to reassign intelligence staff looking for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to information gathering on resistance attacks instead.
US troops have failed to stem the growing resistance attacks
The change in priorities is seen by critics as a sign the Bush administration has given up on finding any WMDs.
Officials said Pentagon leaders were contemplating shifting a number of intelligence officers, interrogators, translators, linguists and others from the 1400-member Iraq Survey Group (ISG) to combat the intensifying resistance.
"What's more important right now and what's more destabilising: the insurgency or knowing about the WMD?" asked a defence official on condition of anonymity.
Any shifted staff would expectedly augment efforts to prevent further attacks like those that have killed dozens in Baghdad this week and better identify who is involved with the resistance.
Lawrence Di Rita, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's chief of staff, however, said the US was not diluting efforts to find the elusive weapons of mass destruction.
"The ISG has a principal mission of WMD and that remains unchanged. And the emphasis remains unchanged," Di Rita said.
"What's more important right now and what's more destabilising: the insurgency or knowing about the WMD?"
Pentagon official
Di Rita said no decision had been made on the reallocation of intelligence personnel, but other officials said it was very likely such a move would soon be made.
General John Abizaid, who as head of US Central Command leads the military effort in Iraq, "feels strongly that he needs more counter-terrorism resources and he is going to get them," Di Rita said.
A CIA spokesman declined to comment on what CIA Director George Tenet's views were on the proposal to reallocate people from the weapons hunt.
CIA adviser David Kay, who heads the ISG, reports to Tenet.
Kay's group began its work in June. In an interim report this month, he said no actual weapons have been found, but told reporters that "does not mean we have concluded there are no actual weapons."

Histoire du canton de Vaud


So there is no touching, checking, online browsing, talking it up and comparing going on. Most of the behaviours from his compulsion list have gone. But there is still the ideas. My son now recalls times past when someone mentioned hair and a celeb losing his looks and he would feel that pang of anxiety. He felt the anxiety even when it related to someone else. The notion of genetics made him connect his future to his own father and he then pronounced by prediction a future calamity. He was doomed by his own mind. These ideas that he values have formed circuitry around the amygdala in his brain. Whether he can be ever free of these ideas, I am not sure. We all age and we all have flaws. Why he felt anxiety over that traces back to why he was so heavily invested in looks. Was that a heightened visual acuity or was that because he had good looks that people noticed and commented on? Or was it all because he had the biology that caused the alarm system to malfunction. The alarm system had to find a reason for the worry. It connected to what he valued.
I see on the forum the idea that looks equals success and that some flaw equals loser. It only becomes a loser card if you decide it shames you. Someone's big bum becomes an asset when you are prepared to show it off to millions. But most of us are private people. We don't want a life of celeb scrutiny. We just want a life with someone to give to. So learning how to give works through learning what you can do.

Kew Releases Emotionally Charged Final EP "Celebrate Away" Plus The Best Shows In Bushwick This Week
Tom Gallo, 19 September 2018
Tom Gallo
tomgallo@radiofreebrooklyn.org
Tom Gallo is the host of Look at My Records on Radio Free Brooklyn
Radio Free Brooklyn and Bushwick Daily are proud to announce a new weekly local-music column that will focus on artists that call Bushwick home. Each week, a Radio Free Brooklyn personality will pen a record or performance review of a different Bushwick based artist, with a curated selection of the best upcoming local gigs in the neighborhood for the following weekend.
Celebrate Away
Labeling themselves as "frustration rock," it's no surprise that Brooklyn quartet Kew packs 12 minutes of raw, unfiltered emotion into their third and final EP, "Celebrate Away." Although brief, the four songs on "Celebrate Away" grapple with the various exasperations of modern quarter-life adulthood, complete with specific references to Bushwick, gnarled guitars, and hooks that'll make you want to raise your fist and shout out every lyric.
Thematically, this short EP covers significant ground: the passage of time, love, and loss - all with a fuzzed out, guitar shredding intensity that conveys an aggravation worthy of the genre tag of "frustration rock." Kew shares their own anxieties about the uncertain future on the EP's first track, "Another Year," proclaiming that "the promise of tomorrow stops me in my tracks," and the endless churning of time with the concluding refrain of "another year, another year" Melrose Street is the audio companion to the EP's cover, which depicts the corner of Melrose St. and Wilson Ave. in Bushwick. The song is probably the most intense on the record, marked by revving riffs and bellowing vocals. "Unfinished business" paints a vivid portrait of dealing with loss and squandered opportunities, while "Downers" puts a bow on the EP with a bit more melody, but without sacrificing the overall riotous quality of "Celebrate Away."
Listening to Kew immediately evokes memories of some of Japandroids' finest songs, but frankly, where's the harm in that comparison? Few bands can match the catchiness and spirit of that Vancouver duo's first two records, but with "Celebrate Away," Kew have left their mark with their own Bushwick-branded chaotic anthems. Not a bad swansong for this group's final release.
You can purchase "Celebrate Away" via bandcamp.
The last week of summer is upon us, so go out and enjoy it with some live music:
Cumulus, Bartees & The Strange Fruit, Great Wight at Elsewhere
Wednesday September 19 2018 at 8p.m.
Seattle based Cumulus has teased four emotionally-charged, radiant guitar pop singles that will appear on their soon to be released second LP, "Comfort World." Expect to hear several more brand new songs from this highly anticipated record on Wednesday night, as it's the band's first release in five years. Joining Cumulus are locals, Bartees & The Strange Fruit and Great Wight. Bartees & The Strange Fruit is the project of Bartees Cox, a singer-songwriter who performs powerful songs that explore both personal and societal themes. Similarly, Great Wight's stellar debut album "The Suburbs Ruined My Life," is politically charged and powerful, conspicuously dealing with issues of identity and society. My recommendation: arrive early to this gig and stay late - you won't want to miss any of these bands!
Bartees & The Strange Fruit
TV on the Radio at Knockdown Center
Thursday, September 20th 2018 at 8p.m.

The New Prosperity Foundation is a Chicago-based phony issue ad group created in 2009 that attracted support from some of former President George Bush's top fundraisers. The group's mission is to help Republicans get elected in 10 Midwestern states, including Wisconsin, according to its website.
In 2010 the group's co-chairmen were two prominent Chicago businessmen - Gregory Baise, head of the Illinois Manufacturers Association and a former state transportation secretary, and Ronald Gidwitz, a 2006 unsuccessful Illinois governor candidate and 2004 "Bush Pioneer," meaning he raised at least $100,000 for the Bush-Cheney reelection effort.
The group kicked off its Wisconsin efforts at the federal level in August with a $50,000 media buy against Democrat Julie Lassa, who faced Republican Sean Duffy for Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District seat, a seat left open by the retirement of Democrat Dave Obey after representing that district for 42 years.
Only days before the November 2 election the group reported spending $17,000 on a radio ad in support of incumbent Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.


In the age of ubiquitous technology, no other productivity investment improves rep performance better than sales coaching.
That's according to research by the Sales Executive Council. And it makes sense. Vantage Point Performance Partner Jason Jordan explains that anything learned by salespeople during a day of offsite training sits in their head until needed. Coaching from well-trained sales leaders happens every day in real time.
"No one has greater influence on a salesperson's skills and behaviors than their direct managers," Jason writes.
But the 2014 Sales Management Optimization Study by CSO Insights found that 70.8 percent of sales leaders coach each of their reps for 60 minutes or less each week. That's all. For a productivity investment with better ROI than anything else, dedicating one hour a week per rep is not enough.
There's more research on the positive effects of coaching reps. Here are four reasons sales coaching needs to be a bigger priority.
1. Reps don't know where to spend their time.
According to that sales optimization study, the number one challenge for sales managers is focusing reps in the right direction. It's not hard to understand why: Sales reps can easily get lost in the day-to-day noise of researching prospects, answering emails, handling customer support issues and much more.
Sales coaching should provide clear instructions for reps on what they need to do for success. Asking someone to increase their number of wins is not coaching, because wins is an outcome (and therefore out of a sales rep's control). What you can coach them around are the sales activities that lead to that outcome, such as prospecting leads, holding discovery meetings and sending proposals.
Use an activity-based selling strategy to define key activity metrics for all of your reps. If someone falls behind on a certain metric, you know what to coach them around, and the rep knows how they should spend their time.
2. A formal coaching process results in higher quota attainment.
Does the type of coaching actually matter? Yes. Out of 1,200 companies surveyed, the number of reps meeting or exceeding quota was 50.3 percent when the coaching process is left to managers, but that jumps to 62.3 percent for companies with a formal coaching process.
In addition, the percentage of overall quota attainment for a company with an informal coaching process is 84.7 percent. But companies with a formal coaching process saw 91.2 percent of overall quota attainment.
Develop a formal coaching process by equipping reps with personal scorecards. Each scorecard should have 3-4 key sales metrics you want them focused on, as well as progress toward hitting those metric goals. This scorecard acts as a rubric for weekly coaching sessions, because it shows where reps are struggling.
3. There's a positive correlation between coaching time and win rate.
It seems obvious, but the sales organizations where managers spend more time coaching have higher win rates. According to Revegy, companies with reps who receive less than 30 minutes of coaching a week have a win rate of 43 percent. But companies where reps are coached more than 2 hours a week have a win rate of 56 percent.
In addition to weekly one-on-one sessions, it's important to establish a consistent coaching session for each of your reps on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. This helps them get the regular training that they need and reinforces the concepts they've already learned.
4. Wins go up when managers coach reps, rather than sell with them.
Many sales leaders will try to sell alongside their reps. While data shows that does increase performance, sales coaching time has a more significant impact.
The win rate for forecast deals is 8.2 percent higher for companies whose managers spent more time on coaching than selling, and overall revenue attainment is 5.2 percent higher.
If you want sales managers to keep selling, then you shouldn't need them in leadership. Consider investing in sales management training for new leaders so they can engage in more effective coaching, which we know leads to more wins.
Sales coaching is one of a sales leader's most important roles. Don't let it fall to the wayside, especially when the data tells us that coaching leads to more revenue.
There's tons of research on the positive effects of coaching reps. Here are four reasons sales coaching needs to be a bigger priority.

FODEN NOT GUARANTEED EURO SPOT
November 27th, 2020 | Author: Justin
Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is not a certainty for the England squad ahead of the European Championships next summer according to former Three Lions player Paul Merson. Ex-Arsenal and Aston Villa midfielder Paul Merson has been a pundit since he retired from football. He talked about Phil Foden and his England career in his column with the Daily Star.
Phil Foden is the latest name on the lips of many England fans after his display against Iceland on Wednesday night. The young midfielder was the best player at the Wembley Stadium as the Three Lions beat their opponents comprehensively. He scored two goals and also provided an assist to lead his country to a 4-0 win in the Three Lions' final game in the UEFA Nations League group stage.
Phil Foden provided the assist for the opening goal scored by Declan Rice who plays for West Ham United in the Premier League. The 20th minute headed goal from Rice means that he's the first player to score for England in 90 years after the player had played for another nation. Douglas Hodgson is the last player to achieve feat in 1930. Declan Rice previously represented the Republic of Ireland in a friendly.
Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount added a second England goal four minutes later. The Three Lions didn't score again until the last ten minutes when Phil Foden scored twice. By then Iceland had been reduced to ten men after BirkirSaevarsson was sent off at the start of the second half.
Paul Merson believes that Phil Foden will struggle to make the 23-man England squad for the European Championships next summer if he does not play regular football. According to him, Aston Villa skipper Jack Grealish and the aforementioned Mason Mount are ahead of him in the midfield pecking order.

On average, PGA Tour winners putt much better than normal on the weeks they win. Since the start of 2013, the winners putted 1.3 strokes/round better than normal. Brendon Todd putted 1.9 strokes/round better than he normally does, a massive 2.4 strokes/round gained on the field. That putting performance would rank 7th among 2013-14 winners behind Bill Haas (AT&T National), Tiger Woods (Arnold Palmer), Russell Henley (Sony), Jimmy Walker (Frys), Webb Simpson (Las Vegas), and Matt Jones (Houston).
On average, PGA Tour winners also play tee to green much better than normal. Since the start of 2013, the winners played 1.8 strokes/round better tee to green than normal. Brendon Todd is basically average tee to green normally and he played in 1.65 fewer strokes/round. That over-performance is fairly low for winners; since 2013, only Tiger Woods (WGC-Cadillac), Jonas Blixt (Greenbrier), Jimmy Walker (Frys), and Matt Jones (Houston) were worse tee to green. Todd joins Blixt, Zach Johnson (Hyundai T of C), and Travelers champ Ken Duke as the only two winners in 2013 not to hit more greens than the field. Todd hit only 60% of his greens compared to 62% by the field, as well as driving it six yards shorter than the field off the tee. This was not a tournament won with the driver, woods, or long irons.
His tee to green performance was almost entirely a result of his scrambling. I don't have shot-by-shot scrambling data for the other 2013-14 winners, but Todd gained 6.1 of 6.5 tee to green strokes from his short game – including three hole outs worth over a stroke a piece. I suspect that is abnormal. Some level of scrambling over-performance is a necessity to win on Tour, but I'm referring only to short game strokes. Gaining over six strokes in that manner seems extremely high.
It's important to note that short term performance in putting and scrambling is much more random than other tee to green play. Based on that, it's unsurprising that PGA Tour winners over-perform by so much in their putting. In fact since the start of 2013 only Steven Bowditch (Texas) has won a tournament putting worse than the field; only four others have gained fewer than two strokes on the field through putting over the weekend.
