The city of Havana was founded by the Spanish in the 16th century and due to its strategic location it served as a springboard for the Spanish conquest of the continent becoming a stopping point for the treasure-laden Spanish galleons on the crossing between the New World and the Old World. Contemporary Havana can essentially be described as three cities in one: Old Havana, Vedado and the newer suburban districts. The city is the center of the Cuban government, and home to various ministries, headquarters of businesses and over 90 diplomatic offices. - By Patrick Nouhailler

The River Thièle, or Thielle, in german Zihl, is a tributary to the Aare River, in the Swiss Seeland. The Thielle results from the merging of the river Orbe and river Talent, northeast of the little city of Orbe in the Swiss Canton of Vaud. It flows as a channel northeastwards through an intensively cultivated plain called "Plaine de l'Orbe" and flows after only 9 km into the Lake of Neuchâtel at Yverdon-les-Bains. The natural course of the river was considerably modified during the Jura water correction. Between the Lakes of Neuchâtel and Biel/Bienne it was converted into a dug-out channel. However, the previous natural bed of La Thielle still exists in some parts. The river flows out of the lake in Biel/Bienne and after 2 km merges directly into the Nidau-Büren channel, which was also dug out during the Jura water correction, ensuring the outflow of River Aare, just before the regulating dam in Port which was commissioned in 1939. Before, La Thielle used to flow into the River Aare 7 km further downstream in the vicinity of Büren-an-der Aare. In the seventeenth century, a grand project was formed to establish a waterway transport system connecting the Rhône and Rhine Rivers via the Lake of Geneva - the River Venoge - and the Canal d’Entreroches - La Thielle - Aare. It unfortunately remained unfinished. A commercial waterway of this nature would have had a very significant impact on the European commercial transportation system. - By Patrick Nouhailler
