Highlights of Central Cuba 27Oct-01Nov 2017 Highlights of Central Cuba 27Oct-01Nov 2017 A Post AGA Tour “Enjoy a relaxing week-long adventure while immersing yourself in the history, culture and natural beauty of this colourful Caribbean island. Cuba’s imminent political and cultural change makes it something to experience now before it evolves. After wandering through Havana’s glit- tering colonial architecture during the AGA, continue your Cuban adventure in the post tour by soaking up the clear mountain air and swim in the Topes de Collante’s natural pools, relax on Playa Ancon’s vast white beaches and ad- mire Trinidad’s unrivalled ambience, visit the town that defined the Cuban Revolution and Che Guevara’s Mauso- leum in Santa Clara, enjoy the beautiful city of Cienfuegos which is beloved by Cubans as the “Pearl of the South”. From old cars to fragrant cigars and with plenty of salsa in between, this trip has it all and is the perfect introduc- tion to all things Cuban.” Palacio de Valle, Cienfuegos Itinerario Day 1 Oct 27th Varadero – Cárdenas - Cienfuegos (L, D) Pick up from the Sanctuary at Grand Memories Hotel after breakfast. Departure to Cardenas for the Sugar Tour that includes: - Visit to an old sugar mill, which is a museum today. - Visit to a sugar cane field to see how the canes are manually harvested. - Tour inside the factory to see the machines and equipment used to produce sugar and the exposition of steam locomotives of the 20th century. A chance to taste sugar cane juice called “Guarapo”. - A Cuban souvenir consisting of two bottles of Mulata rum in a box are included in this visit. After our visit to the Sugar Factory, we will take a steam train ride up to Cárdenas 1875 train station and lunch at the private restaurant Don Qko ( a sustainable project).

Built in 1917 by Acisclo del Valle Blanco, a Spaniard from Asturias, the structure resembles an outrageously ornate Moroccan casbah with its colorful riot of tiles, turrets and stucco. Lodging and dinner at Jagua hotel. Information: Cárdenas is located next to Varadero and a major center of sugar processing and rum making. Cuba’s so-called ‘Pearl of the South’ has long seduced travelers from around the island with its elegance, en- lightened French airs and feisty Caribbean spirit. If Cuba has a Paris, this is most definitely it. Day 2 Oct 28th Cienfuegos – Topes de Collantes (B,L,D) After breakfast, we depart from Cienfuegos for Topes de Collantes which is located at 800 meters high in the heart of the Escambray Mountains.

Information: The Sierra del Escambray is Cuba’s second-largest mountain range. The beautiful crenellated hills are rich in flora and surprisingly isolated. With the best network of hiking trails in Cuba, these jungle-clad forests harbor vines, ferns, eye-catching epiphytes, waterfalls and refreshingly cool pools perfect for a swim. Topes de Collantes Trinidad de Cuba Day 3 Oct 29th Topes de Collantes – Trinidad (B,L,D) Departure to Trinidad in the morning for the city tour of Trinidad de Cuba including: - Walking tour inside the colonial part of the city and a visit to the City museum “Palacio Cantero”. - Visit to the famous “La Canchanchara” bar with a cocktail included. - Lunch at a local restaurant and free time afterwards to walk and explore the city on your own. Accommodation and dinner in at Brisas “Trinidad del Mar” hotel. Information: Trinidad is one-of-a-kind, a perfectly preserved Spanish colonial settlement where the clocks stopped in 1850 and have yet to restart. Huge sugar fortunes amassed in nearby Valle de los Ingenios during the early 19th century created the illustrious colonial-style mansions bedecked with Italian frescoes, Wedg- wood china and French chandeliers. Declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1988, Cuba’s oldest and most enchanting ‘outdoor museum’ is full of cobblestone streets, replete with leather-faced guajiros (country folk), snorting donkeys and melodic troubadours, retain a quiet air. Come nightfall, the live-music scene is particu- larly good. Twelve kilometers south of Trinidad lies the platinum-blond Playa Ancón, the best beach of Cuba’s south coast. Day 4 Oct 30th Trinidad (B,L,D) Staying in the Trinidad area, we will participate in a Seafari to Cayo Macho de Afuera, including: - Round trip transfer Hotel – Marina – Hotel. - Snorkeling, seafood lunch at the Cay (1 drink included) and enough time to enjoy the Cay’s beach.

After lunch, departure to Santa Clara for a city tour. - Visit the Armored Train Museum and the Che Guevara Mausoleum. - Walking tour in the city center with free time for you to explore Santa Clara and lunch in a local restaurant. Overnight accommodation at “Los Caneyes” hotel. Farewell Dinner tonight. Playa Ancón Cayo Macho de Afuera Che Guevara Memorial, Santa Clara Sancti Spiritus Information: In any other country, this attractive colonial city would be a cultural tour de force. But cocooned inside illus- trious Sancti Spíritus province, second fiddle to Trinidad, visitors barely give it a glance. For many therein lies the attraction. Sancti Spíritus is Trinidad with its innocence. Founded in 1514 as one of the seven original villas of Diego Velázquez, Sancti Spíritus was moved to its present site on the Río Yayabo in 1522. It concocted the dapper guayabera, Latin America’s favorite shirt and cultivated guayaba (guava) fruit. Santa Clara is Cuba’s most revolutionary city. Located in the geographic center of Cuba, the city’s fiery personality has been shaped over time by the presence of the nation’s most prestigious university outside Havana, and a long association with Che Guevara, whose liberation of Santa Clara in December 1958 marked the end of the Batista regime. Day 6 Nov 1 Santa Clara - Havana. Following breakfast, we shall depart for Havana and will arrive at the International Airport at around 1 pm. End of tour.

Ackerman Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 06.02.2004 Pleurothallis obliquipetala Acuña & Schweinf. Für Jakob und Julius, die nichts unversucht ließen, um das Zustandekommen dieser Arbeit zu verhindern. Zusammenfassung Die antillanische Flora ist eine der artenreichsten der Erde. Trotz jahrhundertelanger floristischer Forschung zeigen jüngere Studien, daß der Archipel noch immer weiße Flecken beherbergt. Das trifft besonders auf die Familie der Orchideen zu, deren letzte Bearbeitung für Cuba z.B. mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert zurückliegt. Die vorliegende Arbeit basiert auf der lang ausstehenden Revision der Orchideengattung Pleurothallis R. Br. für die Flora de Cuba. Mittels weiterer morphologischer, palynologischer, molekulargenetischer, phytogeographischer und ökologischer Untersuchungen auch eines Florenteils der anderen Großen Antillen wird die Genese der antillanischen Pleurothallis-Flora rekonstruiert. Der Archipel umfaßt mehr als 70 Arten dieser Gattung, wobei die Zahlen auf den einzelnen Inseln sehr verschieden sind: Cuba besitzt 39, Jamaica 23, Hispaniola 40 und Puerto Rico 11 Spezies. Das Zentrum der Diversität liegt im montanen Dreieck Ost-Cuba – Jamaica – Hispaniola, einer Region, die 95 % der antillanischen Arten beherbergt, wovon 75% endemisch auf einer der Inseln sind.

Through an extensive review of information on Cuban herpetofauna, including protected area management plans, we present the first comprehensive inventory of introduced amphibians and reptiles in the Cuban archipelago. We classify species as Invasive, Established Non-invasive, Not Established, and Transported. We document the arrival of 26 species, five amphibians and 21 reptiles, in more than 35 different introduction events. Of the 26 species, we identify 11 species (42.3%), one amphibian and 10 reptiles, as established, with nine of them being invasive: Lithobates catesbeianus, Caiman crocodilus, Hemidactylus mabouia, H. angulatus, H. frenatus, Gonatodes albogularis, Sphaerodactylus argus, Gymnophthalmus underwoodi, and Indotyphlops braminus. We present the introduced range of each of the 26 species in the Cuban archipelago as well as the other Caribbean islands and document historical records, the population sources, dispersal pathways, introduction events, current status of distribution, and impacts.

  • The Bay of Pigs: Lessons Learned Topic: the Bay of Pigs Invasion
    The Bay of Pigs: Lessons Learned Topic: The Bay of Pigs Invasion Grade Level: 9-12 Subject Area: US History after World War II – History and Government Time Required: One class period Goals/Rationale: Students analyze President Kennedy’s April 20, 1961 speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors in which he unapologetically frames the invasion as “useful lessons for us all to learn” with strong Cold War language. This analysis will help students better understand the Cold War context of the Bay of Pigs invasion, and evaluate how an effective speech can shift the focus from a failed action or policy towards a future goal. Essential Question: How can a public official address a failed policy or action in a positive way? Objectives Students will be able to: Explain the US rationale for the Bay of Pigs invasion and the various ways the mission failed. Analyze the tone and content of JFK’s April 20, 1961 speech. Evaluate the methods JFK used in this speech to present the invasion in a more positive light. Connection to Curricula (Standards): National English Language Standards (NCTE) 1 - Students read a wide range of print and non-print texts to build an understanding of texts, of themselves, and of the cultures of the United States and the world; to acquire new information; to respond to the needs and demands of society and the workplace; and for personal fulfillment. Among these texts are fiction and nonfiction, classic and contemporary works. 3- Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts.

Autor: Sandra María Hernández de la Cruz Tutor: Msc. Arq. Dorgis Sarduy Herrera. Santa Clara 2017 "Año del 59 Aniversario del Triunfo de la Revolución" i Pensamiento La tierra no es como muchos piensan, una herencia de nuestros padres. Es, cuando menos, un préstamo de nuestros hijos”. José Martí ii Dedicatoria A mi abuela… iii Agradecimientos A toda mi familia, que sin importar la distancia que a veces nos separaban, supieron darme fuerza para terminar esta carrera, en especial a mi Tatica bella y a mi tío papi Jose que me guiaron siempre y me dieron el calor de padres necesario para aprender a vivir. A mi madrina nina. A mi amiga incondicional Claudia. A mi tutor de oro… A todas las personas que en determinada etapa me brindaron la mano humildemente y con sinceridad, gracias para todos. ¡Se me olvidaba, la maluchera! iv Resumen En los tiempos actuales, el desarrollo sostenible ha llegado a erigirse como la nueva filosofía que nos podría orientar hacia modelos productivos más racionales con el entorno y equitativos socialmente. La Naturaleza cada vez es más maltratada por el hombre, protegerla es tarea de todos, hoy, pocos son los que se prometen a ello. El interés por contemplar los paisajes naturales crece a medida que pasan los años, la intención es mantener lo que todavía existe, y construir subordinándose al entorno, respetar el conjunto natural sin que la intervención lo maltrate visual y ecológicamente.
