At the completion of the 61st year of the Revolution, Havana celebrated its glorious 5th century of life. The hashtag “500” recalled this year in every corner of the city.

The event was witnessed by an audience of diplomats and government representatives who came from Russia, France, the Gulf countries, and Spain with their ruler S.A.R. Felipe VI and his wife Letizia Ortiz. The event was held in front of the capitol returned to its former glory and which is today the seat of the National Assembly of Cuba.

Havana, defined city of Peace and Dignity, has highlighted its pride in the eyes of the world and its people, which has always been indomitable in the face of attempts to destabilize it. As evidence of its resistance are the cannons placed in a defensive position around the perimeter walls of the Castillo de Los Tres Reyes del Morro. This is a mammoth fortification in front of the Bay of Havana designed by the Italian Ing. Battista Antonelli. It was built in the 16th century to defend the city from invasions. Today,  cannons – symbols of defense – are still scattered in the streets and squares of its historic center.

Let the ceremony begin

The ceremony was presided over by Army General Raul Castro Ruz, First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba; President of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez; and Second Party Secretary, Josè Ramòn Machado Ventura.

Addressing the guests and the thousands of citizens and tourists who crowded the borders of a large cordoned area, the President of the Republic recalled at the end of his speech, “Havana, beautiful and sensitive, hospitable and safe for its residents and its visitors, is the city of science, dance, cinema, literature, sporting events, [an] example of resistance before neoliberalism and imperialism.”

The guests of honor, Valentina Ivanovna Matvienko, President of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation; Abulahaewab A. Al Bader, Gen. Director of the Kuwaiti Fund for Arab Economic Development; and Dr. Abdulhamid Alkhalifa, General Director of the Organization Fund of the Petroleum Exporting Countries for International Development were received by Gen. Raul Castro Ruz and the President of the Republic privately for possible economic agreements, as reported by the local press.

The occurrence of the forecast will be able to revive the economic fortunes of Cuba subjected to strict restrictions due to the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States of America.

A recognition to the architect of renewal          

At the historic city of Havana, Eusebio Leal was awarded the Honorary Doctorate in Juridical Sciences – History of Law by the Pontifical Lateran University of Havana. The academic act took place in the presence of the highest local religious and diplomatic authorities in addition to Jorge Quesata and José Carlos Rodríguez, Cuban ambassadors to the Holy See (Vatican City). Dr E. Leal has strongly contributed to the restoration project of over 1,000 buildings in the historic center and to the restoration of the capitol and monument work with the financial contribution of the Federation of Russia.

The pride of the Cuban people

Reinaldo Garcia Sapada, President of the provincial assembly of popular power in the capital, said, “Havana has been able to preserve the architectural heritage of its colonial past, the one that the traveler loves to admire and that its inhabitants live in worship.”

The largely-restored historical, architectural, and cultural heritage has transformed the city into an increasingly important tourist site. Its historic center, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982, is one of the best preserved in Latin America. Among its most representative monuments are the Cathedral of Havana, Plaza de Armas, the Castle of the Morro, the Museum of the Revolution, the National Museum of Fine Arts, the Grand Theatre of Havana, the Capitol, the Plaza of the Revolution, and the Malecón (waterfront) being perhaps the most internationally-recognized symbol of the city.

The 500th anniversary of Havana seems to have aroused the interest of tourists from Asian countries, Europe, Central and South America, and from the USA despite the travel restrictions in force. And with surprise we note the presence of Millennials prevailing over those of the third age. All share a common goal: to enter into symbiosis with the character of the Cubans, to share their carefree mood, and be open to dialogue and availability.

The presence of the historic center

One guitar and two voices in every corner of the historic center and in all the meeting points enchant tourists as much as the vision of vintage cars left over from an era of Amistad with the USA and the stimulating phrases extolling the Freedom and the Revolution signed with the image of his heroes on the walls of houses.

All sympathizers with people that live with situations that are different from the luckier ones in the west but with great dignity and pride for their country. It took little to have this confirmation.

The day of the 500th anniversary closing celebrations cheered the people of Havana with music and shows organized in various areas of the city. Fireworks drew usual shapes and never-seen-before geometric shapes in the sky – the same ones that illuminated Italia Avenue (alias Galiano Street) for a few nights. A light show depicting “constellations” was a gift from the city of Turin (Italy) for this multi-centennial celebration.

The Mark I prototype of SpaceX’s Starship launch vehicle exploded during a test on Wednesday. The explosion blew off part of the bulkhead which went flying as video from the scene shows. In what the company claims is “not a serious setback,” the Mark I blew its lid during cryogenic testing, to determine whether a craft can withstand extreme cold like that found in the void of space.

The explosion occurred at SpaceX’s test site in Boca Chica, Texas, at approximately 4:30pm Eastern Time. Apart from the ruptured bulkhead, the full extent of the damage is unknown but it is likely the company will scrap the vehicle. “The purpose of today’s test was to pressurize systems to the max, so the outcome was not completely unexpected. There were no injuries, nor is this a serious setback,” the company said in a statement.

Instead, the company has already shifted focus to the Mark III which is estimated to be completed in three months. Meanwhile, the Mark II vehicle is being developed by a separate SpaceX team based in Florida. Musk nonchalantly dismissed the Mark I as a “manufacturing pathfinder,” and confirmed that the company will be moving ahead with the other craft.

More and more people are starting to earn money trading options. It’s clear why – all it takes is a computer or telephone with internet, and anyone can earn money by connecting to trading platforms. But a lot of beginners don’t know the right way to trade and might lose their money. But if you stick to the right strategy, you become rich very quickly . How much can you earn trading?

I’ll tell you a little about myself. My name is Anika Singh. I live in Mumbai. I’m 26 years old. Previously I sold children’s clothing in a store, but now I’m a millionaire. I earn Rs 50000 a day, and the best thing about it is that I’m not tied down to one place. All I need is an internet connection. So it doesn’t matter where I am – as long as there’s internet, I can earn money whenever I want. Whether I travel in Europe, fly to the United States, or just visit my parents in Bhopal. I have a nice car, and I live in a beautiful home. I’m free and happy. I’m just enjoying life.

My life wasn’t always that successful. When I was selling clothing, I never had enough money. I barely scraped by. My pay was small, only enough for only food and housing. When I found an article on the internet about trading options, I decided to give trading a try. And I didn’t regret it. Trading options is what changed MY life. I became rich, travel the world, and enjoy the freedom I dreamed of for so long.

By investing $30 and selecting the right trading strategy, I was able to make my way to a new life.

Oh well, enough memories for now, as I’m already going quite off-topic…

MADRID, SPAIN – The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has-published the first systematic overview of how both national governments and local authorities are addressing and managing new business models in the accommodation industry. The so-called “sharing economy” has experienced significant growth over recent years and is poised to outpace the growth of traditional accommodation. Drawing on case studies from around the world, “New Business Models in the Accommodation Industry” analyses existing rules and regulations for the sector. Drawing on 21 global case studies, the new UNWTO report notes that most of the measures implemented refer to areas of ‘fair competition’ and ‘consumer protection’, specifically measures related to taxation and registration and permits In comparison, measures relating to ‘planning and sustainability’, are less commonplace. At the same time, the report highlights the challenges destinations face in implementing rules and regulations, with a lack of local capacity and a lack of clarity over whose responsibility it is to monitor and regulate short-term tourist accommodation.

Commenting, UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili said: “There are significantly more regulations than we thought and it is encouraging to see destinations taking the initiative. However, many challenges remain, including the practical implementation of rules and regulations relating to the short-term tourist rental market. Good governance and effective cooperation between the public and private sectors are key to successfully meeting these challenges.”

Case studies analysed for the “New Business Models in the Accommodation Industry” include European countries such as the Netherlands, Italy and Spain, which are home to some of the world’s most popular cities for tourists, as well as countries in the Americas such as Mexico and from across Asia as is the case of Japan. The report was produced with the support of the Secretariat of Tourism of Mexico.

Hair is made primarily of protein keratin. It can be preserved for thousands of years under the right conditions (like the 5300-year-old iceman Ötzi that got frozen in a glacier). His body, hair, and clothes were all intact, whereas in a wetter and warmer climate the hair survives for a few weeks only.

There are many different hypotheses as to why we lost all body hair, but the one on our heads remained. Some think it all happened as a kind of cooling mechanism that allowed our brain to develop further and become larger, while other scientists believe it was left on our heads to regulate body temperature when travelling long distances.

Straight, curly, brown, blond, red – there are so many hair types that it’s easy to ignore the fact that our hair is actually quite weird. Yes, you read that right! We’re the only mammals who have hairless bodies, with hair covering only our head. Even if we find the answer to why we look the way we look, the reason behind why we have so many hair types would still remain a mystery! Scientists are only starting to turn their inquisitive gazes towards human hair, so here’s what we have so far. Our ancestors might have shifted to hunting, but still there were predators out there that could easily wipe them from the face of the Earth. That’s why they had to hunt in the heat when all other predators were resting, hence, they lost bodily hair to evolution, having some left for heat regulation.
