Cuba's economy relies heavily on services and industries like sugar, petroleum, food and tobacco. While Cuba has diplomatic relations with 160 nations, it faces restrictions from the US embargo and limits freedom of speech internally. The document provides statistics showing services make up over half the economy, while agriculture and industry each account for around a third. Cuba was isolated in the 1990s but maintains international ties despite the ongoing US embargo.

The mobile phone market has experienced significant growth over the past 15 years, with cell phone users in the US increasing from 34 million a decade ago to over 203 million currently. Worldwide, there are an estimated two billion cell phone users. While infrastructure costs initially limited growth in the market's first 15 years, revenues now cover 85% of infrastructure costs and the industry continues to expand rapidly each year on a global scale.

Cuban culture has had a significant global influence through music, dance, theatre, and architecture. Cuban music contributed to the development of genres like jazz, salsa, tango, and more. Cuban dances like the conga have lively, passionate roots from Spanish and African settlers. The first Cuban theatre and opera began incorporating local elements. Cuban architecture is renowned for its designs that welcome sunlight while sheltering from rain through wide windows, balconies, courtyards, and arcades.
Cuba y CARICOM
In 2011 Cuba approved a new economic policy with the purpose of relaunching its economy while preserving the main social achievements of the socialist model. The bet is high enough to raise doubts and questions around the success of such a major economic transformation. The reality is that, in spite of fears and resistances against the “updating” of the Cuban economic model, domestic changes are mandatory in order to build up a prosper and sustainable socialism, idea that President Raúl Castro has promoted as the core and key goal of the socioeconomic changes. This presentation explores the current relations of Cuba and the CARICOM countries as well as the expected changes this relationship may undergo in the near future.
Cuban Healthcare History
Cuba has made major accomplishments in healthcare since 1959, including a rise in life expectancy and declines in infant mortality. Healthcare is accessible to all Cubans and focuses on preventative care and primary care. However, shortages of medications and medical equipment due to US trade embargoes have posed challenges. Cuba relies heavily on tourism and exporting healthcare professionals to other countries to generate needed foreign currency.
Heathcare miracle in Cuba
Despite occasional ‘discovery pieces’ the biomedical literature in English has been almost entirely silent on the Cuban experience and US
government policy temporarily forbade publication of articles from Cuba by US journals or their foreign subsidiaries.
The unwillingness to take account of the Cuban experience, or to even view it as an alternative route through which some societies can move toward the universal goal of health promotion, represents an important oversight. The achievements in Cuba thereby pose a challenge to the authority of the biomedical community in countries that define the scientific agenda.

George Derby arrived in San Diego in 1853 to map the region and develop plans to redirect the San Diego River away from the marshy delta and directly into the Pacific Ocean to prevent floods.
The E Clampus Vitus is a fraternal organization dedicated to preserving Western history, especially of the California gold mining regions. Members meet twice yearly wearing distinctive red shirts, levis, black hats and vests.
The organization faded in the late 19th century but was revived in 1931 by historian Carl Wheat who described it as the "comic strip on the page of California history."
Indianconquistadors1 101217005223-phpapp01
The document discusses how Spanish conquistadors were outnumbered 5 to 1 during their conquest of Mexico but were able to succeed due to alliances with local indigenous groups who provided soldiers and resources. Native allies helped the Spanish due to wanting benefits and being unhappy with Aztec rule, though they did not always receive promised compensation like land grants. Trade routes previously controlled by the Aztecs also aided the Spanish conquest by supplying troops.
The jesuit relations[1]
The document summarizes several chapters from "The Jesuit Relations" which were annual reports by French Jesuit missionaries on their efforts to convert Native Americans in areas like Quebec and along the Mississippi River to Catholic Christianity in the 17th century. The missionaries initially tried to befriend locals for trade but ultimately wanted to communicate Christian beliefs. They established settlements and survived through trading furs. The relations described Native healing practices, diplomacy, wars, martyrs, and Father Marquette's explorations along the Mississippi River as he sought to introduce Christianity to various villages.

The american colonies[1]
The document discusses the history of the Carolinas colonies, including how trading guns and ammunition to native tribes was important for survival and protection from slavery, how raiding tribes moved south but lost momentum as ammunition supplies ran low, how rice cultivation became profitable by utilizing the climate and wetlands after tobacco prices fell, and how a slave rebellion was violently put down through a militia in order to establish control through terror like the West Indian slave system.
Struggle and survival_1[1]
The document profiles the struggles of six indigenous people from the 15th-17th centuries:
Diego Vasicuio, a 90-year-old native priest from Peru, was charged with heresy. Martin Oceotl, a priest from Mexico, was imprisoned for predicting the Spanish conquest. Antonio de Gouveia, a priest from Portugal, was accused of superstition and banished for forced labor. Isabel Moctezuma was a daughter of the Aztec emperor who married indigenous and Spanish men after her father's death.

American revolution2[1]
Benedict Arnold was a general in the Continental Army during the American Revolution who defected to the British forces in 1780. Arnold met with British officer John André to provide plans for the fort at West Point, which would have weakened American forces if successful. However, their plot was discovered and André was hanged for spying while Arnold escaped to the British, where he was paid but his plot ultimately failed to significantly harm the American cause.
Indian conquistadors[1]
The document discusses how native allies were important to Spanish conquistadors like Cortes, outnumbering the Spanish 5 to 1. These indigenous groups supported the Spanish militarily in hopes of benefits and escaping the rule of the Mexica empire. Trade routes in Mesoamerica were also targeted by the Spanish and eventually became part of New Spain as indigenous alliances failed to stop the conquests.

Panama and los_angeles[1]
Panama and Los Angeles are two very different places. Panama is a tropical country located in Central America known for its Panama Canal and biodiversity. Los Angeles is the second most populous city in the United States, located in Southern California. While the climates and landscapes of Panama and Los Angeles differ greatly, they both offer unique experiences to visitors.

1. New York losing its title as the economic capital of America to other cities like those on the west coast as the information age has developed.
2. Large population and economic growth that has occurred over the past 25 years in countries like India and China.
3. Immigration patterns to the United States between 1870-1914, with many immigrants coming as prospectors or to find work.

Panama and los angeles
The document summarizes information about the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Panama Canal. The Los Angeles Aqueduct took 5000 workers and $24.5 million to build from 1908 to 1913, transporting water from the Owens River Valley to Los Angeles. The Panama Canal, one of the largest engineering projects, opened a shipping route between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans from 1904 to 1914 after overcoming numerous challenges, though at a cost of 27,500 lives lost during construction mostly to disease. It can take ships up to 10 hours to pass through the Panama Canal, which includes artificial lakes and channels and three sets of locks.
