  • Cuba by Sea Cienfuegos to Havana Aboard Variety Voyager
    MUSEUM TRAVEL ALLIANCE Cuba by Sea Cienfuegos to Havana Aboard Variety Voyager January 24–February 1, 2019 MUSEUM TRAVEL ALLIANCE Dear Members and Friends of the National Building Museum, Please join us next January for a cultural cruise along Cuba’s Caribbean coast. From Cienfuegos to Havana, we will journey aboard a privately chartered yacht, discovering well-preserved colonial architecture and fascinating small museums, visiting talented artists in their studios, and enjoying private concerts and other exclusive events. The Museum Travel Alliance (MTA) provides museums with the opportunity to offer their members and patrons high-end educational travel programming. Trips are available exclusively through MTA members and co-sponsoring non- profit institutions. This voyage is co-sponsored by The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Association of Yale Alumni. Traveling with us on this cultural cruise are a Cuban-American architect and a partner in an award-winning design firm, a curator from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and a Professor in the Music Department and African American Studies and American Studies at Yale University. In Cienfuegos, view the city’s French-accented buildings on an architectural tour before boarding the sleek Variety Voyager to travel to picturesque Trinidad. Admire the exquisite antiques and furniture displayed in the Romantic Museum and tour the studios of prominent local artists. Continue to Cayo Largo to meet local naturalists, and to remote Isla de la Juventud to see the Panopticon prison (now a museum) that once held Fidel Castro. We will also visit with marine ecologists on María la Gorda, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, before continuing to Havana for our two-day finale.

    AMPHIBIANS OF CUBA: CHECKLIST AND GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTIONS Vilma Rivalta González, Lourdes Rodríguez Schettino, Carlos A. Mancina, & Manuel Iturriaga Instituto de Ecología y Sistemática Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología y Medio Ambiente SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE NO. 145 2014 . SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE The first number of the SMITHSONIAN HERPETOLOGICAL INFORMATION SERVICE series appeared in 1968. SHIS number 1 was a list of herpetological publications arising from within or through the Smithsonian Institution and its collections entity, the United States National Museum (USNM). The latter exists now as little more than the occasional title for the registration activities of the National Museum of Natural History. No. 1 was prepared and printed by J. A. Peters, then Curator-in-Charge of the Division of Amphibians & Reptiles. The availability of a NASA translation service and assorted indices encouraged him to continue the series and distribute these items on an irregular schedule. The series continues under that tradition. Specifically, the SHIS series distributes translations, bibliographies, indices, and similar items judged useful to individuals interested in the biology of amphibians and reptiles, and unlikely to be published in the normal technical journals. We wish to encourage individuals to share their bibliographies, translations, etc. with other herpetologists through the SHIS series. If you have such an item, please contact George Zug [zugg @ si.edu] for its consideration for distribution through the SHIS series. Our increasingly digital world is changing the manner of our access to research literature and that is now true for SHIS publications. They are distributed now as pdf documents through two Smithsonian outlets: BIODIVERSITY HERITAGE LIBRARY.

  • Yachtcharter - Cuba
    VPM Yachtcharter - Cuba Yacht - charter Cuba Cuba is built on myths and metaphors. In the 50’s Cuba was the Monte Carlo of the Caribbean where stars like Errol Flynn or authors like Hemmingway sipped their rum cocktail. Then in the 60’s came the radical revolution and it was followed by the regime of Castro during the last three decades. These are only little episodes in the long history of the Cuban people. Columbus was the first european to discover the island in 1492 and he described it in the following way: "The exceptional beauty beats everything with its magic and grace just as the day surpasses the night with its brilliance." There are thus good reasons for Cuba’s reputation as the pearl of the Antilles. Cuba is located at the entry of the Gulf of Mexico and just below the Northern Tropic. To the west of Cuba lies the Yucatan Peninsula, to the east there is Haiti, to the south there lies Jamaica and to the north at a distance of around 80 nautical miles you will find Florida. 4195 smaller islands and sandbanks are part of the archipelago. Every sailor can trust the north-eastern trade winds. 10 to 25 knots are the norm. There is besides that something noteworthy about Cuba. It has the lowest rate of hurricane appearances in the Antilles. The waters around Cuba Due to the geographical size of Cuba you have to decide in which waters you want to sail. At your disposal are Varadero, which is appealing with its good international flight connections, comfortable hotels and what are probably the island’s most beautiful beaches or Cayo Largo, the Caribbean alternative on the fresher Atlantic coast or even La Habana where you can find one of the world’s most beautiful diving paradises.

  • Cuba: Fundamental Telecommunications Plan
    CUBA: FUNDAMENTAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS PLAN By Manuel Cereijo INSTITUTE FOR CUBAN AND CUBAN-AMERICAN STUDIES U NIVERSITY OF M IAMI ISBN: 1-932385-16-9. Published in 2004. CUBA: FUNDAMENTAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS PLAN Cuba Transition Project – CTP The Cuba Transition Project (CTP) at the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at the University of Miami is an important and timely project to study and make recommenda- tions for the reconstruction of Cuba once the post-Castro transition begins in earnest. This is being accomplished through individual original research, work-study groups, and seminars. The project, which began in January 2002, is funded by a grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development. Research Studies The CTP produces a variety of original studies with practical alternative recommenda- tions on various aspects of the transition process. The studies are available in both English and Spanish. The Spanish translations are sent to Cuba through various means. Databases The CTP is developing several key databases: 1. “Transition Studies” - The full-text, of published and unpublished, articles written on topics of transition in Cuba, as well as articles on transition in Central and Eastern Europe, Nicaragua, and Spain. It also includes an extensive bibliography of published and unpublished books, theses, and dissertations on the topic. 2. “Legal Issues” - In full-text, Cuba’s principal laws (in Spanish), the current Cuban Constitution (in English and Spanish), and other legislation relating to the structure of the existing government. This database also includes a law index and the full-text of numerous law review articles on a variety of transition topics.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Biology, 208 Mueller Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802-5301. E-mail: [email protected] 3Department of Human Genetics, Biocenter, University of Würzburg, Würzburg, Germany. E-mail: [email protected] burg.de Abstract The widely distributed grass frog of Cuba, Eleutherodactylus varleyi, is shown here to comprise two species. One, E. var- leyi, occurs in western and central Cuba while the other, E. feichtingeri n. sp., occurs in central and eastern Cuba. The two species are sympatric in central Cuba, and syntopic in the vicinity of Sierra de Cubitas, Camagüey Province. A molecular phylogeny of mitochondrial DNA sequences from 18 localities confirms the existence of two well-supported major clades corresponding to each of these species, and the sympatry of the species. Tympanum size and advertisement call are the most useful diagnostic characters, although the two species are shown to have karyotypic differences as well. Possible character displacement in morphology and vocalization, in the area of sympatry, is discussed.
