  • Architecture and Preservation in Havana, Cuba a Trip Sponsored Utah Heritage Foundation April 3-9, 2016
    Architecture and Preservation in Havana, Cuba A Trip Sponsored Utah Heritage Foundation April 3-9, 2016 Utah Heritage Foundation is pleased to announce its first program in celebration of the organization’s 50th Anniversary in 2016 – Architecture and Preservation in Havana, Cuba. Cuba has often been referred to as a land lost in time. 1957 Chevys still cruise the streets and Havana neighborhoods display building representing over five centuries of rich heritage. The salt, humidity, and hurricanes have no doubt taken their toll on these architectural masterpieces, but time has made it more evident that the buildings are in need of serious repair. The Cuban government has been working diligently to rehabilitate these buildings, but it’s a massive undertaking that’s been made even more difficult due to the U.S. embargo. Historic preservation has become a key strategy and innovative tool for the revitalization and sustainable economic development of distressed urban neighborhoods of Havana and rural areas in Cuba. These examples provide models for the revitalization and sustainable development of urban and rural areas in other economically challenged areas of the world, including the United States. Friday, August 14, 2015 marked the grand reopening ceremony for the U.S. embassy in Havana. Progress in normalizing relations with Cuba is quickly being made and changes to the landscape are inevitable. Although only ninety miles of ocean separate us from Havana, it sometimes feels like we are worlds apart. However, we can find commonality with the Cuban people through our desire to preserve our architectural legacy. What will the progress between Washington, D.C.

  • Havana Flute Easy Sheet Music
    Havana flute easy sheet music Continue Follow the latest daily buzz with buzzFeed Daily Newsletter! This little craft my friend thought to me and I hope you enjoy the simplicity of this project.First you want a quark from a bottle or anything close to thatNext to get hollow sticks like hollow dynamite. Cut off 1/8 of the quark. Engrave the rod with a smily face sign. (shown in the picture.) Put your hand on the bottom and blowParticipated in UP! Competition This wooden flute is awesome for decorating and great for practicing your whittling skills! Parts: Stick (Douglas Fir looks better)Tools: Whittling Knife (I used a rough knife $20, Amazon)Get your whittling knife and start whittling the crust off the stick (if you only make the first layer it gives it a cool effect). Then start whittling the flute holes, as I mentioned in the mini guitar (see below). To do this, you need to cut through the line in a stick, cut into it, cut into a line, cut up to it, etc. Whittle flute holes about 1/4-1/2 width of the stick. You can also add an extra for the thumb between the first and second holes. To make a mouthpiece, just cut at a 45 degree angle until you have as deep as you want. Cheers! Now you've reviewed some simple whittling skills that should get you ready for my other instructable, mini guitar! Mojito isn't even the best drink in Cuba, says Javier Gilbert, a tour guide who takes me on a tour of the city.
