HAVANA， May 27 (Xinhua) -- A mission of the U.S. Conference of Mayors promised here on Thursday to advocate ending the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba， which has crippled the island's economy for more than five decades and remains in place despite the two countries' rapprochement.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake， the president of the conference which groups mayors of more than a hundred U.S. cities， admitted that his organization has not yet finalized a common position on this matter.

"We are in Cuba today representing our nation's mayors as a first step towards determining how we can collaborate with our counterparts here in Cuba to strengthen the economic vitality of both of our nations，" Rawlings-Blake said.

He said the conference has long been committed to building and sustaining relationships with its international colleagues and Cuba is no exception to that rule.

The visit comes after the two countries agreed to end half a century of hostility and restore diplomatic ties in December 2014.

However， about one year and a half on， Havana is still waiting for Washington to show its true sincerity in changing tack in Cuba， particularly to lift its trade embargo on Cuba.

Though the 2014 agreement between Cuba and the United States has been hailed as "historic，" many political observers say that the outcome of the rapprochement with the United States for Cuba has been close to nil， unless one believes that allowing a few more American travelers to Havana to bring back a handful of cigars will have a decisive impact on the island's economy.

Daniel Patrick Welch， a Boston-based political analyst， even said in an interview in March that the United States is not honest in normalizing relations with Cuba， and it is almost certainly laying the groundwork for a "color revolution" in the Latin American nation.

"The United States has no intentions of ending the Cold War in any form whatsoever. It is ramping it up， and restarting the Cold War 2.0 all around the world， and that includes Latin America，" said Welch.

When you have planned to visit Rome Courtland Sutton Broncos Jersey , your main goal has to be to visit the vatican city.Since 1929 the vatican is considered the smallest country in the world and this historical area is visited every day by around 10.000 persons.
St. Peter's Cathedral completely dominates the Roman landscape. Its great dome, rising 448 feet, can be seen from most places in the city. The dome itself is a masterpiece of architecture designed by Michelangelo and the most audacious building scheme that had ever been attempted. The diameter is 142 feet-the same as that of the Pantheon -and Michelangelo spent the last sixteen years of his life making it "the most glorious miracle of art and beauty in the world."

The church is the largest in the world; its vestibule alone is 468 feet long and 66 feet high; but the church proper just swallows the visitor completely. Some authorities claim that 80 Matt Paradis Broncos Jersey ,000 persons can be accommodated here. This figure seems a little high to me, but in any case many thousands can stand in this great building. I say stand because in none of the churches of Rome did I see seats-there just aren't any. Everything inside is in proportion to the large dimensions of the building. The statuary is gigantic in size. What appear to be large paintings here and there turn out to be beautiful mosaic work as one draws nearer. There are no paintings here-all are beautiful mosaics.

Of course, the church has to have its relies and the most important ones here are "the spear with which Longinus pierced the Saviour's side Derek Wolfe Broncos Jersey ," a portion of "the true Cross," a veil bearing the impression of Christ's face and the head of Andrew. The so-called tomb of Peter is here too, and the many faithful gather round it to pray and to rain down upon it their gifts of money-paper money was lying all round the crypt.
Once entered on the right side you can admire the world's most beautiful sculpture Chris Harris Jr Broncos Jersey , Michelangelo's "Pieta," showing the Saviour in His mother's arms after being taken down from the cross. Just opposite is a huge work showing Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits Emmanuel Sanders Broncos Jersey , treading on the neck of Luther and the latter, twined about with snakes, is being pushed into Hell. I saw the sign of the peacock Demaryius Thomas Broncos Jersey , an old heathen symbol that I had seen in Ceylon and Babylon and Pergamos, entered right here in the church. And, of course Royce Freeman Broncos Jersey , the high altar faces the east. A little further along is the old statue of Peter with its well-worn toe.
Being one of the four patriarchal Basilicas, the church has a "Holy Door" on which the pope knocks with a little gold hammer once every twenty-five years and the souls of all in purgatory escape to the realms of the blessed. Once you come out from the sistine chapel tour, the tour guide can lead you directly to the basilica dedicated to the first martyr of Rome Bradley Chubb Broncos Jersey , who rests exactly under the main altar decorated by the wonderful canopy of Bernini.
