Cuba, officially the Republic of Cuba (Spanish: República de Cuba ), is a country comprising the islands of Cuba, Isla de la Juventud and several archipelagos in the Caribbean Sea. The capital and largest city Havana is 365 km (227 mi) from Miami, Florida. Geographically, Cuba is considered part of North America. Culturally, it is considered part of Latin America.
Prior to Spanish colonization in the late 15th century, Cuba was inhabited by Amerindian tribes. It remained a colony of Spain until the Spanish–American War of 1898, which led to nominal independence as a de facto U.S. protectorate in 1902. As a fragile republic, Cuba attempted to strengthen its democratic system, but mounting political radicalization and social strife culminated in the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1952. Further unrest and instability led to Batista's ousting in January 1959 by the July 26 movement, which afterwards established a government under the leadership of Fidel Castro. Since 1965, the country has been governed by the Communist Party of Cuba.
The peak expiratory flow (PEF), also called peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) is a person's maximum speed of expiration, as measured with a peak flow meter, a small, hand-held device used to monitor a person's ability to breathe out air. It measures the airflow through the bronchi and thus the degree of obstruction in the airways.
Peak flow readings are higher when patients are well, and lower when the airways are constricted. From changes in recorded values, patients and doctors may determine lung functionality, the severity of asthma symptoms, and treatment.
The first measure of precaution would be to check patient for signs and symptoms of asthmatic hypervolemia. This would indicate whether or not to even continue with the Peak Flow Meter procedure. Measurement of PEFR requires training to correctly use a meter and the normal expected value depends on a patient's sex, age, and height. It is classically reduced in obstructive lung disorders such as asthma.
Due to the wide range of 'normal' values and the high degree of variability, peak flow is not the recommended test to identify asthma. However, it can be useful in some circumstances.

The documentary, "The Power of Community - How Cuba Survived Peak Oil," was inspired when Faith Morgan and Pat Murphy took a trip to Cuba through Global Exchange in August, 2003. That year Pat had begun studying and speaking about worldwide peak oil production. In May Pat and Faith attended the second meeting of The Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, a European group of oil geologists and scientists, which predicted that mankind was perilously close to having used up half of the world's oil resources. When they learned that Cuba underwent the loss of over half of its oil imports and survived, after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990, the couple wanted to see for themselves how Cuba had done this. During their first trip to Cuba, in the summer of 2003, they traveled from Havan...
The complex relationship between the United States and Cuba can be dated to 1898 when the US intervened in Cuba's war for independence from Spain. Cubans continued to struggle under dictatorial rule until Fidel Castro's revolution overthrew the government in 1959. Castro implemented a communist government at the peak of the Cold War, immediately alienating the United States and souring diplomatic relations between the two countries. Excerpt from Great Decisions, coming to PBS in 2016 http://www.greatdecisionsonpbs.com/ Narrated by Academy Award nominated actor David Strathairn and produced by the Foreign Policy Association, Great Decisions brings you eight half-hour documentaries, each tackling a different challenge facing America today.
Jonny here, right now I'm in Havana, and in this short film I'm going to explain a little about tourism in Cuba. Most cultural holidays to Cuba will start in Havana, a city of magnificent decaying colonial architecture, monuments and parks, museums and galleries, music and bars and large old American cars. But the first thing you'll probably notice wandering around Havana is the near total lack of consumerism. Cuba is still a communist country with no commercial influence from America, and as such there's almost no evidence at all of the large multinationals we're used to in the West; you won't find any Starbucks or McDonalds here. There are no billboards advertising Coca Cola, there are no glass fronted shopping malls. Which is actually really quite refreshing. The whole city gives you ...
This travel video of Cuba is a collection of many videos taken in our holiday trip to Cuba in January/February 2015. If you ever have questions about some locations, just let me know and I will tell you. Hope you enjoy it - if you like it, like it on youtube and share it :) The song in the background is from One Republic called "Feel again". I have no rights of the song, I just used it for private reasons.
In this travel lecture, Rick Steves describes his experience traveling through Cuba as the US began easing decades of travel restrictions for American tourists.

Travel video about destination Cuba. Basking in the Caribbean sun, the island of Cuba lies between sun and socialism, rumba and revolution. Havana is the capital. In 1553, the Spanish conquerors designated Havana’s harbour as a collection point for ships loaded with gold and silver from the new Spanish colonies and named the settlement, San Cristobal De La Habana.La Bodeguita Del Medio was once Hemmingway`s local and nowhere else is the ‘Mojito’ mixed better: three year old white rum, lime juice, soda, sugar, ice and mint. Whether it be the Teatro Marti, the Old Tobacco Factory, the famous Bacardi house, or the Floridita Bar, everywhere there is a feeling of nostalgia. When the Daiquiri is served, one almost expects Fidel Castro to be sitting at the next table. Pinar Del Rio is a small but...

Sun, Sex, and Socialism picks up this story from the early 1960s, detailing how the newly upstart island in the U.s. backyard inspired citizens on both sides of the Berlin Wall.by the 1970s, international rapprochements and repressions on state levels were stirring citizen disenchantment, discontent, and grassroots solidarities in all three nations. The Cold War's official end generated waves of politicised nostalgia and prescriptions for the newly configured Cuba and Germany, as exemplified in films like Buena Vista Social Club. Meanwhile, from the New Left movement to today, revolutionary compatriots Ché Guevara and Ta...

#CUBA: What a country, what a culture, what an adventure!!! Cuba was one of our best adventures so far, so it's hardly surprising that this video lands straight on our highlights reel. You guys know we are addicted to travel and that we do it on a super tight budget, so leaving our VW Kombi home behind and backpacking to Cuba was a real vacation for us. In the Cuba episode we use everything that we've learnt about travel to hunt out the best deals and free adventures so that we could make this trip possible. Honestly Cuba has two sides, the local side and the tourist side - they even both have separate currencies would you believe?! A lot of the Cuban tourist scene that is presented to you is 5 Star hotels and Caribbean beaches. In this 2 part series we wanted to strip all that a...

La Cuba del siglo XXI atrae a los turistas por tres motivos: curiosidad por visitar un país comunista, los autos viejos y las jineteras baratas. Este viejo oficio ha cobrado auge en Cuba por la oferta del mercado que viene de la mano con los turistas, y la falta de otras opciones legales de ganar suficiente dinero para vivir en Cuba. El comercio informal es igual de ilegal, y tiene la desventaja de que en cualquier encuentro con la policía se pierde la mercancía, que en si misma es una prueba del delito. En cambio a las jineteras, los policías no tienen nada que quitarle, en todo caso, exigen que paguen con sus servicios, y muchas lo hacen. En Cuba, cualquier jinetera gana mas que un doctor o un ingeniero, que un policía, o que un funcionario gubernamental, sin embargo, no requiere ni la...

Cuba is now opening up for Americans to travel to. These are the Dos and Don'ts. Cuba has remained a bit of a dead zone to Americans and because of that, there are a lot of misconceptions about the country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYMoFOQD3bE Cuba is an awesome place full of friendly people but it's still useful to know a few tips before you go.
