TORONTO, ON, October 27, 2012 (Press-News.org) Toronto based Authentic Cuba Travel, the leading provider of escorted tours to Cuba, is pleased to announce a new website dedicated to providing travelers with a simplified directory of the most important attractions that Havana has to offer. The directory is not comprehensive. Instead, it is a guide to help those on short education trips or research Cuba tours decide what to visit in Havana when staying only a few days.
Havana, the capital and cultural center of Cuba, offers many attractions and activities for visitors to the island. While the list of cultural and historic sites is long, many travelers find that it is difficult to pick out the activities and attractions that will give them the most authentic experience of the islands rich culture and history. Authentic Cuba Travel has created this new website in order to help travelers determine the best places to experience while they are in Havana.
It is especially important for US citizens who wish to travel to Cuba from USA for study or research in their professional fields to be able to quickly determine the sites that will give them the most authentic travel experience possible. For over 50 years, USA Cuba Travel has been essentially barred, but under President Barack Obama, these travel restrictions have been eased to allow students and professionals to study and conduct research in the country. Today, these US citizens have a unique and rare opportunity to experience and study the rich historical and cultural sites that have been out of reach for so long.
Through this new website, Authentic Cuba Travel helps visitors learn about important Cuban landmarks and activities. The firing of the 9 O'clock Cannon is one of Cuba's longest standing traditions. In Havana, visitors can experience important historical events like this, tour the famous Revolution Square, and study pristine examples of Spanish Colonial architecture. Old Havana is an important historical center that researchers and historians alike will find fascinating and educational.
Those who wish to study and explore Cuban art and culture can find in-depth descriptions of various sites where they can find prime examples of the works of Cuban artists. The National Museum of Fine Arts holds an extensive collection of Cuban art, as well as important pieces from the ancient world and European artists. By providing this new website, Authentic Cuban Travel is giving travelers a great guide to some of the most unique and valuable sites and attractions that Cuba's capital city showcases.
While travel to Cuba by US citizens is now available legally under many circumstances, the regulations are continually changing. It's uncertain how long Americans will have the opportunity to experience and learn about Cuban culture. For those who are able to acquire a General License to travel to Cuba, this may be a rare opportunity to study the history and culture of this diverse island nation.
In an effort to make it easier for those who are able to obtain a license to travel to Cuba, Authentic Cuba Travel offers the Things to Do in Havana in Havana website as an important resource for travelers who wish to experience as much of the culture and history of Cuba's capital city as possible in a short stay.
Bella Travel Group Ltd. (Authentic Cuba Travel Group/ Hello Cuba Travel Group) is a full service travel agency based in Toronto, Canada that organizes cultural, educational and adventure tours for schools, NGOs, business and community groups.
Even though each year more than 2 million tourists travel to Cuba, they hardly have the chance to get to know the authentic Cuba that lies beyond the confines of all-inclusive full-packed tourist resorts. Once back home, those travelers realize they have hardly "traveled" to Cuba. It might have been a nice and low cost package vacation from the cold weather, but they do not know much about Cuba's culture and its people.
Authentic Cuba Travel votes for a different kind of tourism for those travellers who demand more from their vacations. With over 30 fully escorted Cuba tours announced for 2012- 2013, ranging from educational and cultural to arts and architecture and festivals and events, Authentic Cuba Travel captures the Cuban identity that defines the island as a unique Caribbean nation.

Measuring molecules with the naked eye
2012-10-26
When someone develops liver cancer, the disease introduces a very subtle difference to their bloodstream, increasing the concentration of a particular molecule by just 10 parts per billion.
That small shift is difficult to detect without sophisticated lab equipment – but perhaps not for long. A new "lab on a chip" designed by Brigham Young University professor Adam Woolley and his students reveals the presence of ultra-low concentrations of a target molecule.
As the BYU researchers report in the journal Analytical Chemistry, their experiments detected as little as a ...
Elevated formaldehyde levels found in day care centers
2012-10-26
Berkeley — A new, comprehensive survey of day care centers by University of California, Berkeley, researchers found that, overall, the environmental quality in child care settings was similar to other indoor environments, but that levels of formaldehyde and several other contaminants exceeded state health guidelines. Cleaning- and sanitizing-related chemicals were also present in the air, and sometimes at higher levels, than in comparable studies on homes.
The study, funded by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), is the first detailed analysis of environmental contaminants ...
Efforts to mitigate climate change must target energy efficiency
2012-10-26
Much more must be done to develop energy efficient cars, buildings and domestic appliances to address climate change – according to new research from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia.
A report published today in Nature Climate Change shows that twice as much effort is being spent on developing energy supply technologies - such as new power stations - than is spent on improving the efficiency with which energy is used.
The research shows that efficient end-use technologies have the potential to contribute large emission ...
Watching the cogwheels of the biological clock in living cells
2012-10-26
Our master circadian clock resides in a small group of about 10'000 neurons in the brain, called the suprachiasmatic nucleus. However, similar clocks are ticking in nearly all cells of the body, as demonstrated by the group of Ueli Schibler, professor at the Department of Molecular Biology of the University of Geneva, Switzerland. The molecular mechanisms of circadian clocks can thus be studied outside of the animals, in cultured cells.

Researchers decipher the mecanism of membrane fission
2012-10-26
A cell is composed of a nucleus which encloses its genetic information and the cytoplasm which is itself confined by an external membrane separating the cell from the outside world. The impermeability of the membrane and its ability to repair itself protect the cell from its environment. Although this membrane resistance is fundamental to the survival of the cell, the cell also needs to let in particles necessary for its proper functioning. The mechanism by which a small region of the cytoplasmic membrane invaginates to form a bud that will then be sectioned off to let ...
Salk study finds diabetes raises levels of proteins linked to Alzheimer's features
2012-10-26
Growing evidence suggests that there may be a link between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease, but the physiological mechanisms by which diabetes impacts brain function and cognition are not fully understood. In a new study published in Aging Cell, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies show, for the first time, that diabetes enhances the development of aging features that may underlie early pathological events in Alzheimer's.
Specifically, the Salk team found increases in two hallmarks of Alzheimer's-accumulations of amyloid beta (Abeta) and tau protein-in ...
Footwear forensics
2012-10-26
A new computer algorithm can analyze the footwear marks left at a crime scene according to clusters of footwear types, makes and tread patterns even if the imprint recorded by crime scene investigators is distorted or only a partial print.
Footwear marks are found at crime scenes much more commonly than fingerprints, writes a team from the University at Buffalo, New York, in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Granular Computing, Rough Sets and Intelligent Systems. They point out that while footprints are common they are often left unused by forensic scientists ...
'NHS should replace traditional autopsies with non-invasive alternative'
2012-10-26
The NHS should implement a non-invasive alternative to autopsies, according to a Department of Health-commissioned report by leading UK experts within the field of post-mortem cross-sectional imaging.
The NHS Implementation Sub-Group of the Department of Health's Post Mortem, Forensic and Disaster Imaging Group (PMFDI) has called on the NHS to adopt post-mortem cross-sectional imaging for as an adjunct to, and under the right circumstances, a replacement for autopsies.
The group, chaired by Professor Guy Rutty, Chief Forensic Pathologist to the East Midlands Forensic ...
