Global Robotic Sensors Market Analysis Report 2022: A $5 Billion Market by 2028 - Adoption of Autonomous and Collaborative Robots Across End-user industries is Anticipated to Enhance Demand
DUBLIN, Jan. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Robotic Sensors Market Size, Segments, Outlook, and Revenue Forecast 2022-2028 By Type, Application, End-User, and Region" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Global Robotic Sensors Market is expected to record a positive CAGR of ~ 17% during the forecast period (2022-2028), and reach a revenue of ~US$ 5 Bn by 2028.
Due to the introduction of Industry 4.0 and widespread digitization, the utilization of robots is likely to grow throughout the forecasted period. The adoption of autonomous and collaborative robots across end-user industries is also anticipated to enhance demand for robotic sensors.
The availability of relatively affordable, energy-efficient robots and the growth in organizations' requirements for automation and safety are expected to drive the growth of the worldwide robotic sensors market.
According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), a non-profit organization, 486,800 units of industrial robots were sold in 2021, an increase of 27% compared to the previous year.
According to the Oxford Economics 2019, an independent economic advisory firm, over the past 20 years, the number of robots in use has increased three-fold, reaching ~2.25 million. In the following 20 years, trends indicate that the number of robots will grow even more rapidly, likely reaching 20 million by 2030, with 14 million of those in China alone.
Another significant problem affecting the growing deployment of robots is the lack of skilled workers. Along with the labor shortage, the rising wages of the workforce are also having an influence on the growth of robot demand globally. Additionally, organizations must constantly train their staff to adopt new technologies, which compels them to use robotic systems and encourages market vendors to develop new system components.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of robots. The use of modern technology is increasing, especially in manufacturing and healthcare as these sectors adapt to the shifting preferences and requirements of the modern world. Robotic sensors are used by drones and robots in the military and defense sector to gather precise location, velocity, and attitude data.
The market for robotic sensors is expected to continue expanding at a significant double-digit pace of ~17%, which is considerably faster than he rate the market experienced between 2017 and 2021. Owing to Industry 4.0 and digitization, the adoption of robots has increased significantly over the forecast period.
Over the projection period, robotics developments are anticipated to lead to more flexible manufacturing methods, which are expected to result in a massive rise in the adoption of robotic sensors. With the rising deployment of autonomous and collaborative robots across end-user industries, the demand for robotic sensors is expected to rise to provide more precision and accuracy while operating.
Though the market is highly competitive with ~ 200 participants, few global players control the dominant share and regional players also hold a significant share.

The comedian claims his insurance company settled without his knowledge.
Earlier today, the lawyer representing several women who have accused Bill Cosby of sexual assault claimed that he and his clients had reached a settlement deal with the jailed comedian's team. Joseph Cammarata stated that not only was the 2014 defamation lawsuit dismissed, but court documents say that the seven women were "satisfied with the settlement."
The wording of this announcement made many believe that Cosby and his attorneys negotiated this deal, but the actor says he had nothing to do with it. According to an official statement made through his publicist, Cosby says that his insurance company, American International Group Inc., made the agreement behind his back. He continues to deny any accusations made against him and will fight against those that he said have tarnished his name and reputation.

”AIG showed that they’re a part of the corruption against me, by paying off these distractors, without my knowledge, without my permission and without my consent. AIG’s egregious behavior will be frowned upon by their many customers. They have proven that they do not have the best interest of their clients in mind, which will cause them to lose an overwhelming amount of business. I, [Bill Cosby], will never settle any defamation claim, I will continue to pursue my counterclaims, and I will not relinquish AIG from its responsibility in defending my defamation claims. That’s why I paid my premiums on time and I never let my policy lapse. AIG’s settlement of these claims in Massachusetts makes them look corrupt and it exposes my innocence. Thank you very much.”
According to Deadline, a representative for Cosby parroted that same sentiment by stating, "Mr. Cosby did not settle any cases with anyone. He is not paying anything to anyone, and he is still pursuing his counterclaims. AIG decided to settle these cases, without the knowledge, permission and/or consent of Mr. Cosby. Mr. Cosby vehemently denies the allegations brought against him in these defamation suits and he maintains his innocence."

Well, isn’t this special? With teachers union members demanding the right to keep better medical and pension plans better than almost anyone else has in Wisconsin, and with Democratic state senators Fleebaggers showing their support by running away from their jobs in order to block representative democracy, it’s nice to know that these teachers truly earn their money and benefits.
I mean, what’s wrong with a 66% illiteracy rate among Wisconsin 8th-graders?
Jeez, what do you people expect — that our children should actually know how to read and write?

I’m going warn you up front I’m venting a bit here.
I took the family to one of the local “Christmas” Parades Friday night. It was actually in Delta which is the county seat. To say I was a bit unhappy after would probably be being a bit to gentle. You would have thought it was the 4th of July!!! Every entry had some patriotic theme. Is that a problem? Not really. The problem was that there were 2 Santa’s and one nativity that consisted of silouhetes of the manger tended by George Washington and Abe Lincoln. Yes one! I think the largest group was a bunch of people in street clothes with a sign that read “Conservative Republicans of Delta County”. Well they’re not conservative enough for me if they’ll take an opportunity to honor Christ and use it to push there agenda!
At first I thought I was over reacting but the fact that this has been on my mind continually the entire weekend tells differently. Is this what we’ve come too? A nation so consumed by it’s political system that it’s citizens can’t even take an opportunity to share Christ with their community and use it as such?
Look, I realize the “American” Christmas was originally fashioned as a “stimulus” package for the growing department stores and that most of the traditions were born from distant lands with different histories and cultures. Pretty much a melting pot of a holiday for a melting pot of a nation with a little storytelling and advertising thrown in. However, we as the Church, have adopted this as the day of our Saviors birth. No, I don’t expect to cleanse images of the secular Christmas from public celebrations but a little bit of Christ in Christmas would be nice. Am I asking too much from a nation that claims to be 80+% Christian? I guess the real question is how much of that 80+ percent know what being a Christian means? From what I see not many!
Ok, I feel better now.

“There is very worrying news that almost one of the most important elements seems to be trying to be removed from the list of sanctions.
– sanctions against Belavia, which is known to be responsible for the large number of migrants transported to Belarus, “the minister warned.
The de-listing of a Syrian airline is also being considered.
According to the Minister, he did not have precise information as to which party had come up with such a proposal, but did not rule out the possibility that it might be Germany.
EU foreign ministers this week approved new sanctions against Belarus, instructing diplomats to draw up a list of specific individuals, institutions and companies subject to sanctions.
Sanctions are set for Minsk’s role in the migration crisis on Belarus’s border with EU countries.
As part of an extensive hybrid attack on the regime of Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko, attempts have been made in recent months to send thousands of illegal immigrants from Belarus to Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, most of whom have arrived in Belarus as tourists from Iraq.
However, since last Monday, there have been massive attempts by Belarusians to violently break into Polish territory.
The EU has accused the Minsk regime of seeking to avenge support for the Belarusian opposition and of sanctions against Belarus in response to last year’s violent crackdown on protests.
Airlines that have taken Iraqi and other Middle Eastern citizens en masse to Belarus to try to enter the EU illegally have played an important role in the implementation of Lukashenko’s hybrid operation.
Following warnings from the EU, a number of Middle Eastern countries and airlines have recently suspended migrants’ travel to Belarus.

Eberspaecher, a Tier 1-supplier of exhaust systems with North American headquarters in Novi, announced today it will invest $122 million and create 545 new jobs in Michigan as part of a five-year expansion plan that will begin later this year.
“We see the value in growing our presence here and now more than ever have the capacity to do so,” says Doug Swick, president of Eberspaecher Exhaust Technologies of the Americas. “We are truly excited to move forward with this strategic investment. These actions result from our demonstrated strength in the domestic market coupled with the skill base we currently experience in the Michigan community for the future.”
Swick says the investment will go toward incremental business, increased vertical integration, and expansion of its manufacturing footprint.
The first phase will begin in Brighton, where the company will nearly triple the size of its 110,000-square-foot plant and add more than 100 jobs to support the manufacture of exhaust systems and catalytic converters for commercial vehicles.
The company — which opened its first Michigan facility in 2000 — has been awarded a $4.5 million performance-based grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corp. as well as tax incentives from the city of Brighton.
“Partnering with the state of Michigan on this exciting expansion has helped us gain momentum and was instrumental in solidifying our critical decision to invest here,” says
Scott Trujillo, vice president of finance for Eberspaecher Exhaust Technologies of the Americas. The parent company is headquartered in Esslingen, Germany.


Growing up, I was taught that having 'class' is something that someone cannot take away from you. Its up to you if you want it or not. Low income people can have class, while the higher bracket people may not.
After watching the news for the last month, I've come to the conclusion that real class war isn't between the haves & the haves not, its between those with class & those without.
Within an hour of Andrew Breitbart passing, tweets were sent out about how he was in hell and that he was hater (well, worse stuff than that) Even some 'journalists' made their own commentary on him on their shows. One person even started a fake twitter account under Andrew's widow's name to tweet crap about him.
In this past week, the Trayvon Martin case blew up in the media. Once again, twitter was there to add gasoline to the fire. Spike Lee tweeted what he thought was George Zimmerman's address. Roseanne Barr tweeted that if the cops didn't arrest him, she may show up at his house. To do what you may ask? I don't want to know. In a course of a weekend, I saw thousands of death threats on a man that people never heard of hours prior. A few even called for the rape of Zimmerman's mother.
Even now as I watch TV, I see the classlessness of the US. This hurts my soul. What happen to us as a nation? I remember growing up I was taught manners. How I was to speak to elders. How to treat the world around me.
Anger shown was supposed to be a last resort. Now mind you, I'm not always the most polite, but I do try. I say thank you when someone does something nice. Sometimes I say it when someone does their job correctly. But to lash out at the smallest slight? That seems childish.
So I guess what I'm calling for is the growing up of America. To rely on oneself. To treat others with respect. To debate civilly. We don't all to agree, but at least act like adult.
If you disagree, you can kiss my class!

One of the things that make a pleasant impression when traveling is a hotel/place to stay in the tourist area. Sometimes hotels/inns also affect our mood when about to start tourism activities. Wrong in choosing a hotel can make our tour can be messy, therefore choosing the right hotel and comfortable and appropriate budget is very important.
There are many kinds and categories of hotels, ranging from the usual, standard to starred. Facilities offered are also various, but wiser if you adjust the contents of the bag. Expensive hotels are not necessarily also convenient, and vice versa cheap hotels are not necessarily ugly anyway.
Now with the advancement of technology and crowded certain tourist destinations to make the competition more competitive hotel managers. Each one wants to provide a good service to satisfy his customers. The hotel is racing to keep its always good, so its sustainability will also belong. As a customer, of course, we also benefit from this condition. For HOTEL DEALS YOU’LL LOVE you can find great deals and offers for big savings on hotel room rates on reservations.com
Here are some things to consider in choosing a hotel:
- Hotel Location
It would be wise if you choose the location of the hotel closer to the tourist attraction to be visited. In addition to easy, of course, save because you do not have to leave the fare again for transportation to tourist sites. Also look for hotels that are close to where to eat, because it will ease the moment of hunger struck.
- Hotel Facilities
Adjust the facility to your needs. Often the hotel is only a temporary shelter and to store luggage, it would be more efficient if you choose a budget hotel that only offers your basic needs of sleep and cleans up.
But if you want to travel while enjoying the beauty and facilities of the hotel, for example for a honeymoon or family vacation; choose a hotel that has facilities and services that are complete and satisfactory.
The facilities obtained must be directly proportional to the price you have to pay later, set according to your needs during a vacation.
- Rate Room Rates
Some hotels have official websites, so you can check and order online here. You can also book through travel agent your subscription because usually there will be discounts. Also look for an existing hotel promo, usually the hotel that gives a decent price discount.
For a budget hotel ask also there is an additional charge for lending towels, hair dryer, and locker lock. Is also available free breakfast, coffee, tea, sugar and hot water free of charge. Do not also easily stuck with a cheap price and discount hotel room rates are high.
Some home stays charge per person per person; 1 room contains some bed, maybe this way can also be a consideration.
- Review from customers
You may consider an inn from a review of customers who have stayed before. This assessment we can search from forums, mailing lists, group traveler etc. Categories that are reviewed include location, facilities, prices, services and so on. Testimonials from these customers give us a little more idea of the hotel we will occupy. The more complaints, insults from customers then you can avoid the hotel. The more recommendations, praise, positive testimony from customers who have stayed before, they can be used as input to use the hotel. Make a confirmation the day before check in order for the hotel to prepare well the room you ordered.

SEO continues to be one of the top priorities in 2020 for most marketers. And that is with good reason – creating amazing products, services and educational content to support them is not enough. You also want to be found in search results by your potential customers.
One of the most important rankings factors are backlinks, which essentially represent a trust vote and signal search engines that your website is trustworthy and authoritative.
In fact, backlinks are so important that a study done by Backlino & Ahrefs on 11.8 million Google search results revealed that the #1 results have an average of 3.8x more backlinks than the results rankings #2-#10.
Marketers and SEO experts are prioritizing getting backlinks (also known as inbound links) over other SEO tasks. But there are three backlinks misconception (that are very popular but unfortunately untrue) you need to leave behind to prevent you from wasting valuable time and resources.
1. Guest posting helps with winning backlinks and authority
While this is still one the most recommended tactic to get backlinks, it’s actually untrue.
John Mueller, Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google stated that Google has been devaluing guest post backlinks for years now. Furthermore, the search engine has years of data to train its algorithms in catching such links. The reason is that these links appear to be unnatural ones.
“The part that’s problematic is the links — if you’re providing the content/the links, then those links shouldn’t be passing signals & should have the rel-sponsored / rel-nofollow attached. It’s fine to see it as a way of reaching a broader audience. Essentially if the link is within the guest post, it should be nofollow, even if it’s a “natural” link you’re adding there.”John Mueller, Google
While Google won’t penalize you for getting guest-post links, it’s good that you have a clear goal when guest blogging. Writing guest articles takes time and effort and represent a good way to attract new audiences to your website and eventually increase brand awareness.
So if your backlinks strategy is made up mostly of guest posting, we highly suggest to revisit it. Select those blogs and websites that will help you reach relevant audiences and focus on writing great content rather than trying to write content for everyone.
2. Press releases are good for SEO
Launching press releases and embedding backlinks with the expectation to receive link equity is still a common practice. However, most reputable press release organizations will add a nofollow attribute to the external link, hence no link equity from the press release website to yours will be passed. Additionally, Google states that they try to ignore press releases altogether.
So if you publish relevant and interesting press releases that get picked up by news organizations, that is totally fine. But if you’re launching press releases with the main purpose of winning backlinks, it might be best to shift your effort elsewhere.
3. Paid links yield SEO equity for the long term
Paid links refer to “exchanging money for links, or posts that contain links; exchanging goods or services for links; or sending someone a ‘free’ product in exchange for them writing about it and including a link” as per Google’s definition.
This includes buying links from other websites or directories, sponsored guest posts or paid reviews. If 10 years ago this was a widely used practice, today it’s a risky business that can get you penalized since Google has become better and better at recognizing paid links.
Even so, there are yet many SEO experts and marketers willing to pay for links. A survey among 628 SEO experts conducted by the SEO PowerSuite team found that 22% pay for links without disclosure and 37% pay for legitimate links (e.g. official sponsorships).
If you’re looking to scale up your link building efforts by buying links, remember that you still need to create highly targeted, educational and relevant content and promote it, just as with an organic link building campaign. Choose the websites where you want to feature your content wisely (look at domain authority, reputation and alignment with your industry) and prioritise quality over quantity.
Link building and increasing your domain’s authority are complex and take time. Instead of focusing on short term tactics that are either questionable or downright outdated, we encourage you to stay true to your brand and invest in creating educational content that can position your company as a true expert.
We hope you’ve learned something new today and if so, you’ll free up some time and invest it better.

Like I said with the American League All-Star team, I don't like to second-guess. I like to first-guess. So here's my first guess at the National League All-Star team:
National League All-Star Team
C -- Brian McCann, Atlanta Braves. He had the game-winning hit in last year’s All-Star Game. Can he help give the NL home-field advantage in the World Series for a second consecutive year? He's leading the NL in most offensive categories for catchers, including OPS, homers and RBIs.
2B -- Rickie Weeks, Milwaukee Brewers. This is the closest call of all position players in the NL. Brandon Phillips is a far superior defender, but I gave it to Weeks because of his OPS and better power numbers. They should split the game at second base.
SS -- Jose Reyes, New York Mets. He’s led the league in hits, on-base percentage and slugging almost all season. His range to both sides and consistency on defense have been huge improvements. He should start over Starlin Castro and Troy Tulowitzki.
3B -- Placido Polanco, Philadelphia Phillies. He has been the best third baseman over the first half of the season. Injuries to the Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman and the Mets' David Wright have opened the door for him to be the starter.
RF -- Matt Holliday, St. Louis Cardinals. He’s been leading all NL outfielders in OBP most of the season despite spending time on the disabled list. He gets the nod to start, slightly over the Reds' Jay Bruce.
P -- Cole Hamels, Philadelphia Phillies. Hamels has been magnificent. He’s back painting his 93 mph fastball, and his dead-fish changeup continues to keep hitters off balance.
C -- Yadier Molina, St. Louis Cardinals. He is the best overall defensive catcher in baseball.
2B -- Brandon Phillips, Cincinnati Reds. He is the best defensive second baseman in the NL.
SS -- Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado Rockies. Tulowitzki continues to be one of the best all-around players and leaders in the game. The face of the Rockies and the NL.
SS -- Starlin Castro, Chicago Cubs. The Cubs found their long-term solution at shortstop. One of the most exciting young shortstops in baseball, on offense and defense.
3B -- Chipper Jones, Atlanta Braves. On his way to the Hall of Fame, he gets one more All-Star Game appearance.
OF -- Jay Bruce, Cincinnati Reds. Like Matt Kemp, he is having his best offensive year, and right now he is the best all-around right fielder in the NL.
DH/OF/1B/INF -- Mike Morse, Washington Nationals. He is having the best year of his career and has found a home with the Nationals. He can play multiple positions and will be the lone representative for the Nationals.
Jair Jurrjens, Atlanta Braves. He has been pounding the low, outside corner of the strike zone with the best fastball command of his career.
Roy Halladay, Philadelphia Phillies. He is on pace to win 20 games again.
Ian Kennedy, Arizona Diamondbacks. His manager, Kirk Gibson, was criticized when he announced on Opening Day that Kennedy would get the start over Daniel Hudson. Kennedy has proved in the first half that he is the Diamondbacks' best pitcher.
Francisco Cordero, Cincinnati Reds. His blown saves in 2010 are in the rear-view mirror for Cordero, who continues to be nails in save situations this year.
Joel Hanrahan, Pittsburgh Pirates. He is the only closer in the NL with 10 or more saves to not yet blow a save.
Jonny Venters, Atlanta Braves. He is the best left-handed reliever in baseball. Nasty. Filthy.
Heath Bell, San Diego Padres. The only question is, will he still be wearing a Padres uniform at the All-Star Game?
Kyle Lohse, St. Louis Cardinals. He’s another Cardinal who will be a comeback player of the year candidate. His fastball command is back.
Tommy Hanson, Atlanta Braves. He is one of the most dominating pitchers in the NL. If he is injured, I would replace him with the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw. Both should win Cy Young awards before their careers end.
Dillon Gee, New York Mets. One of the best stories of the year for the Mets. Gee still hasn’t lost a game this year.
J.J. Putz, Arizona Diamondbacks. He has changed the endgame for the Diamondbacks. With the game being played in Arizona, he should be near the top of the list of pitchers who should replace either injured pitchers or pitchers who throw the Sunday before.
Drew Storen, Washington Nationals. He's had an All-Star first half, just not enough numbers to put him on the team.
John Axford, Milwaukee Brewers. He has helped keep the Brewers at the top of the division; he consistently gets it done.
Clayton Kershaw, Los Angeles Dodgers. He would be the first pitcher I would put on the team when another pitcher needs to be replaced.
Cliff Lee, Philadelphia Phillies. His strong finish to the first half has him back on the radar for the All-Star team.
Charlie Morton, Pittsburgh Pirates. The best pitching story in baseball in 2011. He has a new delivery, which has resulted in dramatically improved deception, and that has been the key.
Neil Walker, Pittsburgh Pirates. You can’t put him on the team ahead of Rickie Weeks and Brandon Phillips.
Mike Stanton, Florida Marlins. I would like to see him invited to the Home Run Derby. He’s a year away from the All-Star Game. He has the most raw power of any hitter in baseball right now.
Chris Young, Arizona Diamondbacks. I love having hometown players in the All-Star Game, but you just can’t put him ahead of Bruce, McCutchen or Pence.
Carlos Beltran, New York Mets. We need to put him in the conversation. If the knee holds up, he should be wearing another uniform by July 31.
Carlos Gonzalez, Colorado Rockies. He is one of the best overall players in baseball, but he is having a subpar first half. Next year for CarGo.
Here are some of the problems with this team:
1. There are too many first basemen on the team.
2. Kershaw and Lee didn’t make the team.
3. There is only one left-handed pitcher (Venters).
4. The two best third basemen in the league (Zimmerman and Wright) didn’t make the team because of first-half injuries.
5. Too many top relievers are being snubbed.
Now comes the fun part: Tell me what you’d do differently -- before the real rosters are released.

DOE Total Funding: $1,800,000
Project Term: October 1, 2018 – September 30, 2021
Funding Type: Lab Award
Modern laundry drying is energy-intensive, consuming on average 630,000 Btu (664 MJ) of heat (for each 1,000 pounds of wet laundry), which is released into the atmosphere along with 200 pounds of steam. Additionally, the fans in dryers consume 40 kW/h of power to blow hot air through the same amount of laundry. This project will develop a thermo-vacuum drying method that allows intensification of the drying process using a pressure and temperature difference that removes moisture 5–10 times faster than any conventional drying method. Its operation relies on heat produced by an integrated steam boiler that circulates in the closed cycle between the vacuum ejector and the rotary drum. The system enables continuous heat recuperation, which makes the process highly energy efficient. The innovative concept will save up to 50% of the drying heat and almost 100% of the water entrained in the wet laundry. The recovered water can be recycled to wash the next batch of laundry, and the surplus heat can be used to preheat the water. Electrical power will be consumed only for centrifugal drum rotation and the automated control system. The combined energy factor (CEF) is expected to be 6.0 or higher, which is at least 50% higher than in conventional laundry dryers. Non-energy benefits of the thermo-vacuum drying method include simple design, high durability, low maintenance requirements, and reduced operational cost.
This technology will have a transformational impact on the state-of-the-art clothes drying process, leading to at least 50% energy savings in the commercial cloth-drying sector. It will save significant amounts of water, which can be recycled to reduce, by at least 20%, the amount of water drawn to wash a subsequent load of laundry. The recovered heat can be used to reduce, by at least 10%, the energy needed for water preheating. The improved washing process also will increase the average life of laundered fabrics by 100%. Large-scale deployment of the proposed concept will result in at least 250 TBtu of overall energy savings and a 5–10 times reduction in the time required for the drying process. Additionally, because the technology allows dryers to be more compact, thermo-vacuum dryers will take up only half as much space as conventional dryers.

The Spanish name of the city is La Habana. It is the capital of the province and the country Cuba. Havan is not just the political, but also the cultural hot-spot of the country. Salsa rhythms, vintage cars and caribbean flair are symbols of the Central American country. Driving with a rental car is probably the best way to explore the island. Where can I find rental cars in Cuba? There are many stations at airports and in city centers. You will find cheap offers for car rentals at DriveBoo.
You are looking for non-stop flights to Cuba? The most important international airport of the Island is called Jose Marti International Airport. There are many airlines which departure daily from airports in Europe and Northern American to Havana. The airport is located near Boyeros, about 15 kilometers southwest from the capital. From the airport you can either go by private shuttle-busses, public busses or you can take a cab to reach the city-center. Would you like to book a rental car at the airport? This solution is way more comfortable and easy. Right upon arrival you are flexible and independant. You will find good offers for the stations at the airport when you check prices at DriveBoo.
Please take care, when renting a car in La Havanna to book the car in advance. Usually rental car agents need one week's notice in Cuba.
When renting in Cuba, we recommend booking three weeks in advance, but at least one week prior to your journey.
There are more than two million people living in Havana. The diverse population of the city is offering a lot of energy and joie de vivre day by day. Nowhere else in Cuba you will be able to find so many interesting streets and colonial buildings.
Don't miss our recommendations for Havana:
It is the oldest part of the big city. La habana Vieja counts as one of the most important colonial districts in America. This is also the reason why the old town was declared a Human Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. Nearly all of the sights can be found here. The best way to start your sightseeing-trip is from the cathedral. You will be able to find other sights in the close surrounding of the cathedral (e.g. La Bodeguita del Medio, Catillo de la Real Fuerza, Plaza de Armas)
Would you like to visit modern Havana? A trip to the neighbourhood Fusterlandia is always a good choice. The artist José Fuster wanted to transform the entire neighbourhood into a hip area through a creative project. You will find coloful mosaics and facades.The art project is located outside the city centre. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Fusterlandia by rental car.
The 8-kilometer-long promenade at Malecon Esplanada not only offers wonderful views of the sea, but also a true insight into the everyday lives of the locals. Open the windows of the rental car and enjoy the fresh Caribbean sea air. A sunny afternoon is perfect to watch the fishermen at their daily work. Another possibility is to visit one of the many Paladares (small Cuban restaurant). You can enjoy your snack, drink and just enjoy the relaxed vibe of the city.
A lot of people say that Cuban cigars are the best in the world. Why don't you try it our yourself?There are perfect climate conditions for the cultivation of tobacco products in Cuba. This led to the old tradition of cigar production in the country. Where can I buy Cuban cigars? In Havana you can buy cigars anywhere in the city. A good souvenir for friends or family if you are not a fan of tobacco products yourself.
The vacation town is probably the best known place in Cuba. The distance to Varadero from Havana are 140 kilometers. It takes about two hours to get there with your rented car. You want Caribbean paradise? Varadero offers not only perfect nature and beautiful beaches, but is also a perfect place for water sports. Bars, clubs and many restaurants offer the opportunity to get to know the country, people and other tourists from all over the world.
You want to go to Havana? There are different stations of rental car agents you can find on DriveBoo for your next trip. So your next journey can start from anywhere. However, Havana is still a must see and should be explored. Renting a rental vehicle is usually possible at the airport or in the city. The routes to Havana can all be travelled within one day.
|City||Distance to Havana|
|Santiago de Cuba||11 hours|
|Cayo Coco||6 hours 30 minutes|
|Santa Clara||3 hours 30 minutes|
|Camagüey||6 hours 30 minutes|
It is necessary to organize a visa to enter Cuba. Therefore you will need to purchase a so-called "tourist-card". These can be purchased before your holiday either from the Cuban embassy or from various airlines. If you would like to explore the entire island from La Habana, it is definitely worth renting a vehicle. Please note that the roads in Cuba cannot be compared to Western standards. In addition, the perception towards traffic rules is more flexible. Always keep a cool head and pay attention to other people on the road.
Rental vehicles are offered with different insurance packages. The two most important things to take care of are the comprehensive insurance and the liability insurance. Pay attention to the following information when booking a rental car in Cuba:


Skip to comments.CNN's Cooper and Gupta Bemoan Reagan's Indifference to AIDS(CNN's INDIFFERENCE to the FACTS)
Posted on 06/10/2004 5:37:15 PM PDT by fight_truth_decay
On Tuesday night CNN devoted a segment of Anderson Cooper 360 to how, as CNN's Dr, Sanjay Gupta put it, throughout his presidency "many would accuse President Reagan of ignoring AIDS," as if Reagan talking about it would have done more to prevent it than those in the homosexual community modifying their unsafe sex practices. Leading into a Reagan clip from 1987, Gupta complained that "the first time President Reagan would utter the word AIDS in public would be well into his second term, six years after the virus was discovered." In fact, Reagan talked about AIDS in 1985 and cited it repeatedly in his 1986 State of the Union address. Gupta relayed how one "AIDS activist" believes "the administration avoided AIDS all those years because of homophobia."
Interviewing Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health, Cooper pointed out how "the San Francisco Chronicle said that Ronald Reagan was guilty, and I quote, of a 'shameful abdication of leadership in the fight against AIDS.'" When Fauci wasn't sufficiently anti-Reagan, Cooper reminded him: "The criticism is that earlier on in 1981 or '82, they had been more vocal they might have made a difference. I think part of the anger, too, is that Reagan's communication director, Pat Buchanan, you know, was quoted as saying in print that AIDS is the wrath of God upon homosexuals."
Unmentioned by CNN, how, as Deroy Murdock conveyed on National Review Online: "In a Congressional Research Service study titled 'AIDS Funding for Federal Government Programs: FY1981-FY1999,' author Judith Johnson found that overall, the federal government spent $5.727 billion on AIDS under Ronald Reagan. This higher number reflects President Reagan's proposals as well as additional expenditures approved by Congress that he later signed."
For Murdock's piece, which quotes Reagan's comments about AIDS in 1985 and 1986, as well as how Patti Davis denied her father was any kind of homophobe: http://www.nationalreview.com/flashback/murdock200406081045.asp
(Cooper's segment on Reagan and AIDS aired the same night, MRC analyst Ken Shepherd noticed, that he devoted a story to the suddenly wise Nancy Reagan for opposing President Bush on stem cell research. He introduced that story: "Well, as President Bush remembers Ronald Reagan, he is also reminding America of his admiration of the Republican icon and of course, Reagan's wife Nancy, as well. But there is one sticky subject where the president and the wife of the former president part company, stem cell research. It is an anathema to many conservatives, but to a woman who just lost her beloved husband to Alzheimer's, it is a topic that transcends 'Raw Politics.'")
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaresearch.org ...
"According to the screenplay...my father is a homophobic Bible-thumper who loudly insisted that his son wasn't gay when Ron took up ballet, and who in a particularly scathing scene told my mother that AIDS patients deserved their fate," wrote Ronald and Nancy Reagan's daughter,Patti Davis, on Time magazine's website. "Not only did my father never say such a thing, he never would have."
In fact, she recalls "the clear, smooth, non-judgmental way" in which her dad discussed the topic of homosexuality with her when she was age eight or nine.
"My father and I were watching an old Rock Hudson and Doris Day movie. At the moment when Hudson and Doris Day kissed, I said to my father, "That looks weird."... All I knew was that something about this particular man and woman was, to me, strange. My father gently explained that Mr. Hudson didn't really have a lot of experience kissing women; in fact, he would much prefer to be kissing a man. This was said in the same tone that would be used if he had been telling me about people with different colored eyes, and I accepted without question that this whole kissing thing wasn't reserved just for men and women."
Fact: Reagan publicly demonstrated this outlook when he opposed Proposition 6, a 1978 ballot measure that called for the dismissal of California teachers who "advocated" homosexuality, even outside of schools. Reagan used both a September 24, 1978, statement and a syndicated newspaper column to campaign against the initiative.
Fact:Precise budget requests are difficult to calculate, as online records from the 1980s are spotty. Nevertheless, New York University's archived, hard copies of budget documents from fiscal year 1984 through FY 1989 show that Reagan proposed at least $2.79 billion for AIDS research, education, and treatment. In a Congressional Research Service study titled AIDS Funding for Federal Government Programs: FY1981-FY1999, author Judith Johnson found that overall, the federal government spent $5.727 billion on AIDS under Ronald Reagan. This higher number reflects President Reagan's proposals as well as additional expenditures approved by Congress that he later signed.
Table 5 of Johnson's report shows annual federal AIDS spending during Ronald Reagan's watch. This is hardly the portrait of a do-nothing presidency chart
Charges that Showtime recently depicted in the controversial TV film "The Reagans". Nothing more than left-wing lies about an American legend.
The first time President Clinton would utter the name "Juanita Broaddrick" in public was well into his second term, as I recall...
Gupta was probably dedicated to Khali as a child.
That (Reagan didn't stop Aids) whine was the same one most of the CSPAN negative callers use.
The Libs found out few know anything about Iran Contra, so that flopped as mud to sling.
The only other issue they could seem to find to sling some mud at President Reagan was that he didn't stop Aids.
I'd bet most 'callers' couldn't even carry on a real discussion about how many $$$ Reagan, Bush1, Clinton, Bush2 provided, etc., because it is just the talking point for them to spew if they got on air.
Why should ANYBODY care about AIDS more than those who are too self-indulgent to STOP the behavior that transmits it?
They're lambasting Reagan on AIDS because he didn't accept/embrace the gay agenda. Period.
I remember when AIDs first broke the public conciousness,
we were told over and over, it was a civil rights issue
NOT a health emergency.
Now they're sniveling.
Republicans wanted to curtail the actvities which spread AIDS; liberals opposed any action to curtail such activities. So the Republicans are at fault for the fact that the disease was spread by people participating in such activities?
What about those who prevented any action to clamp down on the bathhouses where the disease was spread?
AIDs was identified in the late 70's. Wouldn't that really make it Carter's fault?
It amazes me that it's become virtually a capital crime to even suggest that people behave themselves. We are a nation of toddlers who want what we want NOW with no restrictions or responsibilities, only rights.
<<<< crickets >>>>
Every president after Reagan has talked about AIDS and it has not made the problem a faint memory.....so what gives???????????
And here we are, some 20+ years later, and there still isn't a cure for AIDS, despite 8 wondrous years of Bill Clinton, despite billions of dollars spent by many countries to the detriment of research into the cure of other less "fashionable" diseases.
They do have a point, however; Reagan could have stopped AIDS in America by quarantining carriers early and shutting down businesses that promoted the spread of the disease, but we all know how that would have gone over. In the end, everyone knew that (a) the odds of getting AIDS if you lead a clean life were extremely small, and (b) if those that were at risk of getting AIDS wouldn't do anything to help themselves then there really wasn't a moral obligation to help them.
AIDS virus was not identified until 1982.
Having never participated in that 'scene' I can only conjecture, but something tells me that the promiscuity rates among bathhouse patrons were probably higher than among those who went home for their 'relationships'.
I also have a feeling that there were and are many 'homosexual activists' who wanted and still want AIDS to spread so they can portray homosexuals as 'victims'.
The homosexual lobby has fought tooth and nail every step of the way for the right to spread AIDS unfettered. They didn't really want anybody stopping it; they only wanted their treatment paid for with OPM.
I remember reading about it as the 'gay plague' in the early 80's when I had a subscription to Rolling Stone. A friend's husband who was a hemophiliac contracted it either from his meds or a blood transfusion in 83 or 84.
It still doesn't make it Reagan's fault, he wasn't the one spreading it and there's still not a cure.
Nancy Reagan chooses who will speak. This is not a political rally like Wellstone's service.
The rumor was also that Clinton was pissed off as this deflected interest of his book coming out. Again not verified at this time..only rumor.
One rather interesting facet of liberalism is that it imparts nobility to victimhood. If someone is harmed by something, one should be entitled to benefit from it; one should not try to mitigate harm, because reducing the harm one suffers would reduce the amount of 'relief' to which one was entitled.
The notion that it is better to have problems and blame someone else for them, than not to have the problems in the first place, seems bizarre, but it seems to have infected a lot of people in a lot of ways. I don't know what the best way to counter this infectious notion, but perhaps forcing it into the open will help.


India shows-off next-gen BrahMos supersonic missile at arms expo
First flight tests of the missile being developed by Indo-Russian joint venture BrahMos Aerospace are expected to take place in three to four years, the company’s IT director, Praveen Pathak, said.
BrahMos-NG (the ‘NG’ stands for ‘Next Generation’) is a smaller version of the air-launched version of the supersonic missile, the regular version of which uses the large Su-30MKI as a platform.
The mock-up of the newer version was shown mounted on two hardpoints of a HAL Tejas fighter jet of the Indian Air Force, which has half the payload capacity of the Sukhoi warplane. The Russian-built MIG-29 and the Su-30MKI can also be armed with the smaller missile, of course.Also on rt.com India fires world’s fastest supersonic cruise missile from Russian Su-30 fighter jet
The BrahMos-NG is expected to weigh about 1.5 tons and have a length of five meters, compared to the 2.5 tons and eight meters of the BrahMos-A currently in service. It will have a range of 300km and a cruise speed of up to 3.5 Mach.
The missile family originates from the Granit Soviet/Russian anti-ship missile, from which a ramjet engine was adapted and improved for the joint venture. The Indian side contributed the electronics part, including the guidance system. BrahMos was first developed in naval and ground-launched versions, with an air-launched version arriving in the late 2000s.
BrahMos Aerospace is an Indo-Russian joint venture established in 1998 in India following an intergovernmental agreement between the two countries. A 50.5 percent share of the company is owned by India, while Russia owns the remaining 49.5 percent.

Is a poet we read in translation in some sense a fake poet, or a poet made up by her translators, or an artifact, for us, of our assumptions about her culture? What do poets get, and what do poets need, from explorations in distant cultures, where assumptions about what poems can do, how poems get put together, and how the life of a modern poet should work may look quite unlike prevailing assumptions in Buffalo, Boise, Boston, Brooklyn Heights? Why does literary history include influential poetic hoaxes, from Ossian to Araki Yasusada? Why do hoaxes sometimes bring out the hoaxers' best work? And why have so many American readers and poets (few of whom read Portugese) fallen for the Lisbon modernist Fernando Pessoa, who wrote the great majority of his poems under a panoply of "heteronyms," personae who came with their own biography and their own widely variant styles?
Alan Michael Parker, best-known as a poet (check out Love Song with Motor Vehicles, published by BOA Editions in 2003), has a neat project that might help us answer those questions by showing how each illumines them all: he asked 22 American poets (himself not among them) to make up a poet who wrote in a language not English, write a short biography for that poet, translate one of that poet's (made-up) works, then compose an essay on the translation. Familiar ideas of much-discussed places and times (Holocaust-era Europe, and Vietnam during what's called, there, "the American War") crop up, of course, but so do oddities that give the poets involved permission to do something quite unlike their normal styles of late. Thus Annie Finch has fun with Rose Elbow Souris, a Bulgarian Dadaist; Anna Rabinowitz "translates" long-lined fragments of Egyptian hieroglyphics, preserving their fragmentary formality; and Barbara Hamby's medieval Gertrude of Brandenburg pursues a forceful (if perhaps anachronistic) erotic line.
At times the anachronisms seem not quite conscious, revealing either stereotypes about faraway times, or obsessions of our own: some "versions" have the bland awkwardness of translationese. A skeptical reader might look at made-up poets' bios and see, not what the contributors think original, but what our era in general believes, and may not know that it believes, about Eastern Europe, about ancient Semitic cultures, about Latin American revolutionaries, and so on. Part of the value in Parker's project has to do with the assumptions it reveals. Quick, which national culture would you choose if you wanted a poet who seemed especially ascetic? Especially ecstatic? Especially mysterious? Especially relevant to a recent war?
Yet that's the least of the reasons to check this book out. Here are some better reasons: Readers of Rosanna Warren, who made up the lonely French poet Anne Verveine in prior books of Warren's own, will want to compare the Verveineiana here to other poets' parallel inventions. If you read Flemish or French or Portugese, you'll want to look at the poems "composed" in those languages, and printed in facing-page translation. If you want to see smart meditations in lyrical prose around the absences (historical and post-religious) that haunt modern poems, you'll want to read Mark Strand's essay on the made-up Bulgarian poet Marin K., whose death in wartime echoes that of the real Hungarian poet Miklos Radnoti, and whose damaged corpus of poetry Strand says he chooses not to translate at all. Instead, we get six beautiful paragraphs of Marin K.'s "own" autobiographical prose, followed by Strand's reflections on the whole meta-project of writerly pseudonyms, disguised as reflections on autobiography: "When I noticed in these fragments was Marin's desire to locate himself anywhere but where he was born, and to find an alternative to a banality that he felt was imprisoning." Is that why some of us cotton to pseudonymous poetry? Or is it, simply, why we write and read poems?
If you simply want to see a few good poems in English, one which might stand on their own stripped of the life stories which here provide their contexts, and yet which reflect their roots as fake translations, you will find at least two such poems here: Andrew Hudgins's Alan Lutiy pursues an incessant wordplay—somewhere between late Beckett and Kay Ryan—that suggests the made-up poet's history as a war criminal trying to evade his past—"Away! / wailed the wayward / undissuaded," "Lutiy" says in Hudgins's English: "Always away!" And D. A. Powell's Joao Pudim incorporates our stereotypes about erotic, languid, confusing, coastal Brazil, then gets past them for the playful sadness of a fine sonnet with some of Powell's own prior themes built in: "oh, you could make believe anyone love you / now that the anchor has been pulled / from the coralline bottom of a glassy sea / called mere mer or murmur or hold." Perhaps Powell will discover more poems of Pudim's? If he existed, and Powell had rendered more of him, I'd stand in line for his book.

SEOUL -- As North Korea went ahead on May 24 with its demolition of its nuclear test site in Punggye-ri in the country's northeast as part of the stated effort toward denuclearization, North Korean defector Kim Pyong Gang, who is from that remote village, has a particular concern: The demolition work would cover up everything that happened to local residents, including exposure to radiation and the extraordinary hard work they were forced to do in digging shafts for nuclear tests.
Kim also expressed her worries in an interview with the Mainichi Shimbun about the possibility that the groundwater in the area would be contaminated with radiation from the demolition blasts, thus increasing the threat to the health of people living in the area.
Kim, a novelist, is in her 50s and lived in Punggye-ri from around 1990 through around 2010, when she defected to South Korea. She had married an engineer at the test site.
The mountain area had forests where matsutake mushrooms, a local delicacy, grew. The development of the test site began in the late 1970s and local residents were forced to move out one after another while soldiers and inmates at labor camps were deployed to dig up underground shafts.
According to Kim, when she was in Punggye-ri, some 30 families were living near Chaedok Station, about three to four hours walk from the test site. "They didn't know much about what was going on, guessing that some kind of work was underway at a missile base," she said.
North Korea is blowing up some portions of the underground shafts, but Kim thinks local residents may not understand what actually happened as they are used to the sounds of the explosives utilized in the construction of underground shafts decades ago.
Kim heard about Pyongyang's plans to decommission the site in news reports on May 12 when she was in her office. She felt like the North Korean authorities are "trying to cover up how many nukes they have by driving out site personnel and pulling out military troops."
"I should be happy about the news of the site's closure," Kim continued, "but I am worried about the workers who dug the underground shafts for more than 30 years and local residents who don't know if they were exposed to radiation."
Her husband died of liver cancer in the late 2000s after developing skin sores. He was not told about the possibility of radiation exposure and the only treatment he received was applying disinfectant to the affected areas.
Meanwhile, international reporters who went to Punggye-ri to cover the decommissioning had their dosimeters confiscated at Wonsan airport by North Korean officials, and have no way to measure radiation levels at the site. Kim hopes that at least one of the reporters managed to smuggle a device to check radiation there.
Kim is further concerned that underground water will become contaminated by radiation leaked from the demolition blast, and local residents will drink it without knowing the contamination.
"People should have thought about the danger of radiation exposure affecting local residents, site officials and foreign reporters from this political show of blowing up Punggye-ri," Kim said.

More families are beginning to see both parents working to provide financial support to family members. In several cases, it could mean having no one left at home to take care of the children. The most common solutions are to have in-home child care such as nannies or opt for centre-based care, wherein parents send their children to a child care centre for the day and then fetch them after work.
Because of the many benefits of a centre-based child care approach, parents should consider it to take advantage of the financial benefits they receive and the long-term learning benefits their children will get out of it.
Most child care centres provide early education components for their children, allowing them to learn as they play. Compared to being left at home, children spend the day with other children and gain social and cognitive abilities with qualified staff.
Lyndel Child Care Center stresses the importance of this, saying children need to have educational, stimulating experiences where they can improve their mental and social abilities, which cannot be worked on if they are kept at home.
Subsidised Child Care
However, this subsidy comes with conditions. The amount of subsidy is based on a parent’s income, the number of children, and other factors. The children must also be immunised, and the parents must enrol their children in CCB-approved or registered child care centres to qualify.
Trained and Experienced Staff
Registered child care centres require accreditation and compliance with the government’s standards of child care. Child care centres must adhere to this and make sure that each age group is adequately monitored by the right amount of experienced, highly-qualified staff.
Parents who would like to take advantage of the financial benefits and long-term benefits for their child should opt to send their children to a child care centres at an early age.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — “Philadelphia, we do appreciate each and every one of you tonight,” remarked Romy Madley Croft, of London’s The xx, near the close of their Wednesday night set at The Mann Center in Philadelphia.READ MORE: Philadelphia Weather: Severe Thunderstorm Watch In Effect For Eastern Pennsylvania, Northern Delaware, Parts Of New Jersey Until Sunday Night
Bathed in purple light, the somber yet sweet tones of the band’s “Angel” would follow and ring through the Fairmount Park trees. Tender and vulnerable, yet surefooted, it was a fitting close after an evening of polite pop proficiency from the band.
The night was very much a celebration of this year’s critically-acclaimed album I See You, but the band also played a solid amount from their self-titled debut.
The soft coaxing voice of Romy and co-lead singer Oliver Sim shined over the mirrored stage and 80’s art deco design. Crisp and subtle and all in black, The xx began the night in driving fashion, bouncing about with guitars in hand to tunes like “Say Something Loving” and early favorite “Crystalised”. All the while Jamie xx manned the machines and the drums, perched above as the neon swirled.READ MORE: Triple Shooting At Penn's Landing Leaves 3 Teenagers Injured: Philadelphia Police
The xx was perhaps misplaced at The Mann and it’s outdoor Skyline Stage, as a muggy May night made for a festival atmosphere. The emotional intimacy of the trio sometimes operated on a different wavelength then those there for the beers and blankets. They did manage to win back the crowd later in the set though as The xx turned up the tempo and stride through songs like “VCR” and “Dangerous”.
As things picked up, so did the crowd of mostly mid-twenty-somethings. They reached their most jubilant moment collectively during the swaggering, Daryl Hall & John Oates sampling single “On Hold” which led to impromptu dance parties across the Fairmount field.
“We see you, and we love you, and we’ll hopefully see you again soon” Romy expressed softly as the dancing subsided and the night came near a close.MORE NEWS: Betts Falls Triple Shy Of Cycle, Leads Dodgers Past Phillies
As the affecting “Angels” sustained to silence and the crowd applauded, the three gathered at the front of the stage for a wave and an appreciative bow. The blankets were collected and an enjoyable evening ended with The xx.

Over the weekend I stumbled across one of my favorite mix tapes, created (I think) in May of 93. Since I had no tape deck, I recorded it at my parents’ house in Florence sometime after the end of my first year of teaching at Georgetown. My sister got married on the last Saturday of May, so it probably was a week or two before that.
It’s a Maxell XLII 100-minute tape, the brand I had been using for a few years. The music ranged from 78 to the then-present; most were five years old or less. My tastes leaned much more toward the college/alternative side of things by this point, but melody and pop sensibility were still important factors in what attracted my attention. Only two of the twenty-seven songs ever hit the Top 40; by the end, they may look a little out of place. Others should be familiar though many were obscure even in their supposed heyday. Yet, I still find almost everything on here quite appealing–you like what you like, apparently.
Today I’ll lay Side A on you; the flip will come sometime reasonably soon.
1. Belly, “Feed the Tree.”
After stints in the Throwing Muses and the Breeders, Tanya Donnelly formed her own alternative band Belly. They released two disks, Star and King. The former had a few songs make noise on the alternative charts; “Feed the Tree,” one of my faves of 93, even managed to hang out for four weeks in the 90s on the Hot 100 right about the time I was having it lead off the tape.
Toward the end of my tape-making days, I would sometimes write a line from one of the included songs on the labels that went on each side of the cassette. I didn’t do it for this one, but I’m certain that the title of this post, a lyric from “Feed the Tree,” was plastered on one side of a ‘stuff’ tape I gave to James later in 93.
2. Los Lobos, “Wake Up Delores.”
Mitchell Froom (co-)produced three of the most distinctive sounding and enjoyable albums of 92; two of them have cuts on this cassette. The first one up is the second track on Los Lobos’ fantastic disk Kiko, one of its best. A few others from Kiko and their previous release, The Neighborhood, graced other tapes I made around then.
3. Squeeze, “If I Didn’t Love You.”
One of the disks in regular rotation at the Friday night gatherings with old college friends that I started attending in 92 was Singles–45’s and Under, from Squeeze. That led to a pretty thorough investigation of their back catalog. My favorite, by a decent amount, is Argybargy, which I first encountered in the September 80 issue of Stereo Review, courtesy of Joel Vance (and americanradiohistory.com):
These days, its two best-known songs are “Pulling Mussels (from the Shell)” and “Another Piece of My Heart.” The nod for top track from Argybargy in these quarters, though, goes to the seduction-thwarted-by-‘not-tonight-dear’ tale of “If I Didn’t Love You,” in part for the line “Singles remind me of kisses/Albums remind me of plans.” I don’t dispute the greatness of “Vicky Verky,” however–within a year I’d put it on a different tape.
4. Grace Pool, “Radio Religion.”
The first of several true obscurities. Grace Pool came of New York, fronted by the wife-and-husband team of vocalist Elly Brown and session musician Bob Riley. They released two albums (the first is more synth-driven, the second features guitars to a greater extent) that failed to make much of an impression, but I managed to scoop both up before they disappeared into the ether. Several tracks turned out to be worthy of repeated listens over the years. One of the best is the fourth cut on the self-titled debut disk; “Radio Religion” is a danceable rejection of that format found frequently on the AM dial.
5. Curve, “Coast Is Clear.”
I got interested in Curve when I heard “Horror Head” from their full-length debut disk Doppelgänger at Record Service in early 92. Before long, I picked up Frozen, one of their earlier EPs, which contained “Coast Is Clear.” It’s by far the heaviest and most techno piece on the tape, but I still dig it. Singer Toni Halliday pulls zero punches here: “You could be my father for all the love you show…it’s never enough to swallow those pills, now I’m sick and always will be.”
6. Adam Schmitt, “Can’t Get You on My Mind.”
If power pop is your thing and you aren’t familiar with Adam Schmitt, get thee over to Amazon posthaste and spend around $10 to score a Very Good used copy of World So Bright. It’s one of my favorite disks from 91, completely brilliant with hooks galore. (The followup from 93, Illiterature, rocks a little harder but has many fantastic tunes, too.) Schmitt was (is?) from Chicago, so World got promoted decently down in Champaign-Urbana. The wordplay in the title of the putative lead single, “Can’t Get You on My Mind,” is enough to make it an instant power pop classic before you even hear a note. Please listen to this.
7. In Tua Nua, “All I Wanted.”
Up next is a bit of a driving rocker from an Irish band whose name translates to “the new tribe.” Greg turned me on to this the year we roomed together. It was a modest hit in Ireland and a minor one in the UK in 88; I say it deserved much more attention than it received.
8. Sarah McLachlan, “Into the Fire.”
When I wrote three months ago about Sarah McLachlan’s “Vox,” I observed how blown away I was when I began hearing “Into the Fire” in the spring of 92, enough to make a purchase of Solace worth it all on its own. She’d matured so much in three years: “I will stare into the sun until its light doesn’t blind me/I will walk into the fire until its heat doesn’t burn me/And I will feed the fire…”
9. Reivers, “Star Telegram.”
I’m kind of spoiling a possible future Destination 89 post here. I’ve written before how I got turned on to Austin’s Reivers in 91-92; their 89 release End of the Day is one of my all-time favorite albums, period. This sweet ode to the days of their youth and the newspaper from Ft. Worth is one of the few tunes from this disk you can find on YouTube. While John Croslin’s vocals tend a little to the monotone, the harmonies with co-singer Kim Longacre are oh-so-good. Definitely another album worth trying to find.
10. Wonder Stuff, “Welcome to the Cheap Seats.”
Maybe the main attraction now of this song from 91 is Kirsty MacColl’s background vocals. It’s a fun enough romp by a British band who’d first come to my notice a couple years before via the delightful “Don’t Let Me Down, Gently.”
11. Matthew Sweet, “Girlfriend.”
Sweet’s breakthrough, such as it turned out to be. Terrific song, terrific album cover. (Makes it appropriate to publish this on a Tuesday, I guess.) Crank it.
12. Glass Eye, “God Take All.”
Here’s another Austin band. Greg interviewed them on air at WPGU when they came to C-U on tour in the very late 80s to promote their album Hello Young Lovers. “God Take All” was one of the cuts they were featuring. Greg played it for me one time and the rest became history; now you’re getting your chance to hear it.
13. Suzanne Vega, “When Heroes Go Down.”
The amount of tape left is winding down, so we’re closing with a couple of shorter pieces. Mitchell Froom also produced Vega’s 92 release 99.9˚F (they got married before long and had a kid, too). It was quite the departure for Suzy V, but I enjoyed it through and through. The sub-two-minute, tongue-twisting “When Heroes Go Down” isn’t one of its very best tracks but it’s well above serviceable here.
14. Jilted John, “Jilted John.”
And we end the first side with a bit of a letdown, easily the lamest song on the whole tape. I’d bought Rhino’s two UK Pop disks from their DIY series earlier in the spring (check out HERC’s recent review here) and was charmed by quite a number of their tracks. Then there’s the incredibly juvenile “Jilted John,” a #4 UK hit toward the end of 78. It was funny the first few times I heard it, but in the end it’s a bunch of infantile, not-so-edifying name-calling. Graham Fellows, the bloke who recorded as Jilted John, turns sixty in just a couple of weeks.
There’s a much better song from UK Pop II coming up on side B.
Hoping to turn the tape over soon, but right now there are finals to grade. If you liked even some of this, the second half should be of interest, too. As you can see in the picture at the top, Side B is ready to play.
5 thoughts on “I’ll Only Hurt You in My Dreams”
Argybargy was my favorite Squeeze album until 1991 when the group released Play. But that Singles: 45’s and Under may be the greatest greatest hits album of the early 80s.
Great first side, with a great opener. “Feed the Tree” is a tremendous tune.

|VOICE OF AMERICA|
SLUG: 2-322723 Afghan / UN Report (L-O)
TITLE=AFGHAN / U-N REPORT (L-ONLY)
HEADLINE: UN Warns of Problems if Afghan Grievances Not Met
INTRO: The United Nations says Afghanistan has made remarkable progress since the fall of the Taleban government three years ago. But it warns the rebuilt nation could fall back into chaos unless more is done to improve the lives of Afghanistan's citizens. From neighboring Pakistan, Ayaz Gul reports for VOA.
TEXT: The first-ever U.N. Human Development Report on Afghanistan says that economic growth in the war-shattered country has been "spectacular" under the new government of President Hamid Karzai. It says access to education is on the rise and the free media are flourishing.
But the report says that violence, insecurity and poverty still plague millions of Afghans, and private militias still control large areas where narcotics production is at record levels. According to the findings of the wide-ranging U.N.-sponsored report, Afghanistan remains the world's sixth-least developed country.
Associate administrator of the U.N. development program, Zephirin Diabre, released the report in Kabul Monday with a senior Afghan cabinet minister, Haneef Atmar (Minister of
Rural Rehabilitation and Development).
Mr. Diabre says the study will help Afghans to identify and seek solutions of problems their country has been facing in the wake of decades of hostilities. He says that
international supporters of the Afghan government need to ensure security of Afghans and take a broad and long-term view of the country's development.
/// DIBARE ACT ///
"We should not be from now on talking about how many kilometers of roads we have constructed, how many schools we have built, how many clinics. We should now be talking about how secure the Afghan people feel and how secure they have become."
/// END ACT ///
Minister Atmar says that his country has been on the path of recovery from the effects of war and conflict. But he says Afghanistan still needs full attention of the world
/// ATMAR ACT ///
"This report is a timely reminder of a key role that Afghanistan will and must play in global discussions about development as a nation that has achieved much in recent
years but requires intense supports if the gains are to be consolidated."
/// END ACT ///
The report says that the United States is spending around one billion dollars per month on its anti-terrorism efforts in Afghanistan. But the report says much less is being spent to curb poverty that can breed militancy. (SIGNED)
