Intel Core i7 3770k (LGA 1155) Ivy Bridge CPU Review
Intel Ivy Bridge CPUs Continued
Looking below you can see the die of the new quad-core chip with the HD 4000 graphics that takes up a large portion of the chip followed up with the four cores and below that the shared L3 cache which goes across all four cores and the graphics core.
On the far right there is the SA and memory controller while across the bottom we have the memory controller I/O. The big thing for the new processor, though, is the introduction of a 22nm manufacturing process. In the second image above we also get a really good break down of what each area does and the benefits it brings to the table.
Looking above you can see the "Tick Tock" strategy that Intel has been using. The next piece to the puzzle is of course the 22nm based "Ivy Bridge-E" chips which are rumored to be released in Q1 of 2013. It will replace the Sandy Bridge-E.
Looking above you can see some of the main features that are bought to the table with the new 22nm Ivy Bridge chip with one of the biggest being that new 22nm process. We've of course got leading performance thanks to Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading and improved overclocking features with higher CPU multiplier limits, more DDR frequency control and support for new XMP 1.3 RAM.
Expanding on the overclocking features you can see above some of the main advantages that are on offer from the new IVB platform with an increased multiplier, real-time core ratio change and higher DDR ratio to name just a few of the features.

1. What is the current water restriction and how will this affect tourists travelling to Cape Town?
Level 6b restrictions went into effect from February 1, when daily water consumption per person per household will be limited to 50 litres. All people residing in the city should already reduce their consumption to 50 litres immediately.
2. If tourists visit Cape Town / The Western Cape will there be water?
There is adequate water for tourists' essential daily needs such as washing, using the toilet, and daily hygiene. In the event of 'Day Zero', water will be severely rationed. At present water restrictions are in place in the City of Cape Town, and residents and tourists are requested to adhere to them.
3. Is it irresponsible for tourists to come to Cape Town/ Western Cape during the drought?
- During peak season (November – January) international tourists only add 1% to the population of the Western Cape.
- This number drops from April – September. If the tourists follow the daily usage guideline the impact would therefore be negligible.
- The tourism sector supports approximately 300 000 much needed jobs across the Western Cape. It is vital to preserve these jobs.
4. Will tourists have to queue for water if the regular flow of water is cut?
You are advised to find out from your accommodation establishment or your host what the water arrangements they have made should Day Zero arrive. Many hotels contacted by Wesgro have indicated that they have put in place alternative water arrangements.
5. If "Day Zero" arrives, how long will the ordinary flow of water be cut?
Cape Town is located in a winter rainfall area. Historically the winter rains have started in April, but they can start as late as June. We should be prepared to live with very little water for around three months, with the hope that by the end of winter, enough rain has fallen to switch the water system back on, but it all depends on when rain falls in the catchment areas that feed the dams.
6. Will tourists have access to drinking water?
7.Will tourists be able to bath, shower or use a swimming pool?
At present, tourists will be able to shower and maintain daily hygiene. Recommended guidelines suggest a shower of 90 seconds. The use of baths is entirely discouraged. Some swimming pools at hotels have been converted to salt (ocean) water.
8. The majority of tourism establishments have put in place measures to ensure their water usage is reduced, and many have developed plans for alternative supplies.
Will restaurants and bars still be in operation?
- In the event of 'Day Zero' - yes. Many parts of the hospitality industry have proactively implemented water savings and water augmentation solutions to ensure ongoing availability of water in their establishments.
- Restaurants and bars are required to adhere to the water restrictions but have not, to date, been negatively affected.
9. Will emergency services still function in the event of 'Day Zero'?
Yes. All critical emergency services (hospitals, clinics, fire stations and police services) will continue to function.

As soon as the concept of Facebook advertising is introduced they get excited, however more often than not, they end up disappointed by their advertising performance. The reason isn't that Facebook advertising doesn't work. There's a reason that Facebook's revenue is projected to be in the billions this year: Facebook's self-serve advertising is a booming business. Trust me, marketers aren't pouring billions into ads because they don't work. Here's why most first-time Facebook advertisers fail. The Standard First-TimerYou login to Facebook and decide to try out your first Facebook advertising campaign. Let's say you're promoting an upcoming event. You decide to launch an ad targeting the type of people who are likely to attend. You use some of Facebook's targeting functionality, thinking that your extra effort with targeting will go a long way. You then proceed to enter in a cost per click that is within Facebook's estimated cost and limit your budget to $20 a day. That should be good enough for 20 extra people each day who will RSVP to your event!Unfortunately, the next day you check for performance. A couple extra people RSVPed and you blew through your $20 budget. You have also spent $14 so far today and you aren't seeing many results. Wow! Facebook advertising sure is expensive, you think to yourself. After a few days of low performance and a couple of ads later with similar results, you finally decide to throw in the towel: Facebook advertising doesn't work, you conclude.What Went Wrong?The primary reason the tool isn't working is that you didn't approach it from an educational standpoint. I don't want to sound like an old man lecturing a group of young ones, however it blows my mind how many people don't view things from an educational point of view. Instead, they expect the system to perform some sort of miracle and change their life forever, never having to work again a day in their life because they came up with the innovative idea of using Facebook ads. If you happen to be one of the people who expect Facebook ads to perform miracles for you, you should stop right here.There are many more effective techniques for generating miracles. For starters, you could just sit in your desk at work but rather than working, wish your way into success. Alright, enough of the sarcasm. The main point is this: if you are going to become a master of Facebook advertising, you better be ready to learn. Also, understanding the basics of experimentation, or trial and error, is important to be successful at anything. If you are ready to learn, then go register for our Facebook Marketing Weekly newsletter. We'll be posting tons of strategies in the coming weeks for mastering Facebook advertising and more.After the spending a few months with us, and reading the upcoming articles, you should have everything you need to become a Facebook marketing master. We'll discuss many of the testing strategies that will help you learn from your mistakes. Have you made any interesting mistakes with your Facebook ads so far?

When I lived in Havana, Cuba, during the economic crisis of the early 1990s, there was often a flurry of excitement when a political rally was announced.
On one occasion, we traipsed to the Malecón to hear Fidel Castro himself address the crowds. After his interminably long drone about US imperialism and the strength of the Cuban revolution – which most of the tens of thousands of attendees seemed to find dull – Castro stopped speaking, and it finally became clear why so many people showed up: out came the tanker trucks full of beer and the food stalls dishing out free hamburgers, croquettes and fried fish.
Such were the cynical ploys of an ageing and lacklustre ruler: if you can't inspire the people with political arguments, bribe them with burgers instead. Now, reading the latest White Paper on local democracy from the British government, one could be forgiven for thinking that Hazel Blears, secretary of state for communities and local government, has been studying at the Fidel Castro School of Public Engagement.
Presented to the UK parliament last Wednesday, Communities in Control: Real People, Real Power, comes across more like the Frequently Asked Questions section of an iPod user guide than a serious proposal to reinvigorate popular sovereignty. Chapter two is titled: 'How can I be an active citizen and volunteer?' Other chapters answer questions such as 'How can I find out information in a way I understand and can use?', 'How do I have my say and influence the decisions being made on my behalf?', and 'How can my friends, neighbours and I own and run local services ourselves?'
The comparison with an iPod user guide becomes even more appropriate when you get to Chapter 4, which tackles the question of how to challenge voter apathy. It is proposed that local councils should run 'information campaigns to explain the processes and implications of voting' and 'schemes which recognise people who have turned out on polling day, for example every voter getting an "I've Voted" sticker at the ballot box', and that local authorities should have 'the power to provide incentives for voting in local government elections, for example by entering voters into a prize draw' (1). Yes, citizen-cum-consumer, vote in the local election and YOU could be in with a chance of winning an iPod!

This Thomasian dean made good on his promise to send his 86 new lawyers to an unforgettable class trip.
Rafael Lorenz Santos, one of the lucky Bar exam passers, took to Twitter to share their memorable adventure.
KAMI scooped this story from When In Manila.
The law school dean of the University of Sto. Tomas promised to bring his Bar passers to a 3-day trip to Boracay, on the premise that they did good on the exam, placed as topnotchers, and have a 100% passing rate.
This pledge was made during the group's send-off ceremonies last November.
Despite falling short of the goal by 5%, and having only 86 passers out of their 112 takers, Faculty of Civil Law's Dean Nilo Divina still followed through on his promise, after the new attorneys, in true lawyer fashion, "appealed" to their dean.
As Rafael puts it,
During our testimonial dinner, one of our batchmates petitioned Dean Nilo Divina to push through with the Bora trip. All of a sudden, CA Justice Amy Javier, also a professor in the Faculty of Civil Law, stood up, took the mic and ordered Dean Divina to grant our petition. In no uncertain words, Dean Divina stated, "Petition granted!"
Aside from the trip, they all got to take home a Parker pen each, care-of their dean, plus P5,000 cash.
KAMI wishes to further stress the importance of education, and continuing learning in general. Incentives are just a bonus, the real deal is the new knowledge gained as well as the feeling of personal fulfillment.
SHARE this story to all your friends and family!

With a stellar 2,000-year-old reputation for safety and effectiveness, the famed plant is a feel-good tonic and energy-boosting herb of the highest order. It revitalizes, combats stress, bolsters the immune system, improves concentration and is even known to stimulate sexual desire. Indigenous to China and cultivated worldwide, the herb is sometimes called Chinese, Korean, Asian or American ginseng.
How It Works
Ginseng contains ginsenosides, compounds that target and energize different parts of the body.
Suggested Dose
Take 100 to 250 mg a day, standardized to contain at least 7 percent ginsenosides. Or consume two to three slices of the dried white root daily (chew until soft, then swallow). Avoid long term use (more than three months) because of rare side effects such as diarrhea. And don't combine it with large amounts of caffeine because of its stimulant effects.

The Quest for Energy: Panax Ginseng
I've heard people pushing ginseng but never really knew why. Looking at this list of benefits I see something that our society is obsessed with so it all makes sense (and, yes, I'm talking about sex). Somehow looking at the dose info I am pretty sure I'm going with coffee or chocolate for my kicks.

Finally something positive about education, well sort of. The article titled, "Record Number of Young Americans Earn Bachelor's Degree" focuses on the history of high school and college graduates in the U.S. both past and present. Sadly, America used to be number 1 in education attainment in the world, until 1992 when foreign and European countries took over. Currently the U.S. is fourth in education attainment behind Japan who is number three, Israel number two, and dun dunna- Canada at number one. According to the Pew Research Center Analysis, for the first time a third of the nation's 25-29 year olds have earned at least a bachelors degree, this number has greatly improved since the 70's when only one-fifth of young adults had earned a bachelors and only 78% were high school graduates compared to 90% now. This is an astonishing increase in people graduating in a small amount of time and definitely something to cheer about, Hooray!! The study attributes this return to education and graduation to the recession and slow job recovery leading young people in the direction of education to secure better and higher paying jobs, BUT where are those jobs? Being an almost-educator myself I obviously believe in education for all, at least at the high school level but I fear the number of college graduates with mounting college debt and no guarantee for better or higher paying jobs, or really any job at all. But back to the good stuff- if you are lucky enough to get a job after graduation the wage premium is up 40% since 1983! Another hooray! Let the debt mount and the jobs recess, at least we'll be educated! And perhaps we can climb back to that top spot soon enough.
I suppose the moral to this story is apply, apply, apply (to jobs and to college) and stand out! As I work at my pre-practicum at Newton North I am pleased to see how hard the students and teachers work in the college prep classes. They are working diligently to make their application letters as appealing and representative of themselves as possible. Students are dedicating a large amount of time to this process and most are applying early. It is encouraging that teachers get to act as mentors, in this sense, as some students may not receive this kind of support or encouragement at home. It an exciting time for these hopeful young people and I look forward to being a part of this very soon.
The article mentions a "education reversal" which took place over the last few years in which there were less young educated people than older ones, for example, "in 2007, the share of adults aged 45 to 64 who had graduated or earned a bachelor's degree was slightly higher than among 25 -to 29- year olds". This is a strange idea but one that makes sense. I feel like America took a little break from caring about educationm especially with such a large concentration on a crumbling economy. Kids were being left behind and school systems were being bled dry with no money left in the pot. But we're back! The curse has been reversed! The "reversal", that arose in the first decade of 2000s is being reversed yet again. Young people, perhaps due to awesome college prep courses in high school, are graduating from college and young people have taken over once again. This is good news for the future of our country and hopefully for the economy as well.

So at the beginning of the year, I started making my list of chefy accomplishments to be made this year. I numbered it, but then I decided I'd just sort of pick and choose things and go in a random order. Not typically my style to be so chaotic with my list making, but the first item on my list seemed kind of more like a long-term aspiration than something that would be particularly fun to immediately work on, so I just skipped to something that I had the ingredients in the house to make.
THERE YOU HAVE IT. That's how I got to item number 11 – Halloumi cheese. There was no real direction here, as I just had seen halloumi in a vegetarian cook book that I had picked up a while back, and honestly had no idea what it was. I kind of assumed it was some type of cousin of tofu or something based on it's look, so I assumed it was something I couldn't eat. Then Professor Google informed me that it was a CHEESE. I was in.
I bought some at Trader Joe's and stuck it in the fridge. Kind of forgot about it. Then one day, we were planning on having a really light, healthy dinner. I was not excited about it. So I started digging through the fridge and the pantry for something else I could make happen. BAM. Halloumi. But then I was hung up on how to prepare it. BAM. Number 14 on my list. Homemade tempura batter.
I researched a batter recipe, battered that cheese, fried it, and ate it with the quinoa salad that was supposed to be dinner all by itself but now was being paired with a delicious piece of fried cheese. #blessed
It was really, really, really good! I will say, the tempura batter was a little plain. It was light and crispy, but needed a little something added to it. The cheese was super tasty, and garnished with the fresh tomatoes and basil was a nice touch.
I will definitely be repeating this recipe, with a few minor tweaks to the tempura batter. AND I will definitely be exploring more halloumi recipes, that cheese is to die for!
Lessons learned here:
- Halloumi is delicious
- Tempura batter is super easy to make. Keep it cold, and use seltzer water to keep it light.
- This New Year's Resolution is fun

Your reactions to Trump's first week in office ranges from 'a joke' to being 'awesome'
PHOENIX — A lot could be said about President Donald Trump's first week in office.
There was plenty of action, from an argument about the size of the inauguration crowd and the women's marches going on around the world, to promises being kept and details emerging about the building of a new border wall separating the United States and Mexico.
With so much going on, it's hard to pin down and summarize exactly what all happened in Trump's first week.
But that's exactly what KTAR News' Mac & Gaydos did, by asking you all to describe the week with just a single word.
Of course, by the divisiveness in the results of the vote in the presidential election, the same could be said about the answers that were given.
There were some that summarized Trump's first week as "a joke" while others thought it was simply "awesome."
And while someone may have bent the rules a bit by adding a little commentary after their single word, both sides would probably agree.
- Donald Trump's former campaign chairman ordered into custody
- Judge mulls allowing expelled Rep. Don Shooter to run for office
- Sen. John McCain criticizes Donald Trump for ending Korean war games
- Trump delivers warning on trade as he leaves G-7 summit
- Flake rips Trump on trade in Senate speech, touts US role as world leader

RateMyTeachers inevitably flawed
I must admit, a number of preconceptions of mine were destroyed when I went through this site. The ratings and comments were not, as I had expected, almost universally negative, or at least not for my school; if anything, quite the contrary.
In fact, the site really does seem to have a good cause. The comments are strictly moderated and anything that involves profanity, sexuality, physical appearing, "mental", "alcoholic", race, religion, ethnic background, sexual orientation, the teacher's personal life or whatever else is on the no-no list—and I quote from the rules page itself—"WILL BE DELETED." And it warns that if you threaten a teacher, student, administrators, or school property, or yourself, then your comment, and I quote again: "WILL BE TURNED OVER TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES WITH THE IP ADDRESS."
It pleads, "Please rate your teachers based on your opinion of their TEACHING ability. Please try to provide us with an insight into what is happening in the classroom." Its commitment to providing accurate, helpful ratings is reflected in their decision not to include "easiness" ("How easy are the classes that this teacher teaches? Is it possible to get an A without too much work?") in the overall quality of the teacher, because "an easiness of 5 may actually mean the teacher is TOO easy." In fact, I could almost convince myself that the site's one that deserves credit—almost, but not quite.
Despite its good intentions, the nature of the site—the ability to leave anonymous comments at will as students—mean that it will never achieve its purpose. Only those that both care enough to type something out and click a few buttons, and have the time to actually do that, will be honestly represented in the ratings; the remainder will be those that are there to see what it's about and to leave their mark. (Those who want to make threats get refered to the authorities.) The result is that ratings will be inevitably polarised. There will be some which seem to be at the positive extreme, like many of the teachers at our school, some at the other end, some that have extremities at both ends which sort of cancel each other out. But the "okay" teachers, and the students who know an "okay" teacher when they see one—as well as those who have more of a life than to sit behind a computer clicking "helpful", "not helpful", "clear", "not clear"—will not be there.
Well, that's all very well, you might say, those who don't want to be heard shouldn't be. But it leaves a giant statistical flaw: the survey sample is biased. In fact, it is biased by the simple fact that a significant proportion of students are probably incapable of judging a teacher's effectiveness.
Rather, it could at best be a fun site, at most semi-serious, that could become nothing but (at best) a source of gossip among students and teacher alike, and with an aim that is only unachievable. While it need not be banned, it cannot be taken seriously.

Make yourself available to who you might meet and where the evening could take you."The more you're open to letting guys show you all the different sides of themselves, the more likely you'll surprise yourself and fall in love with one of them," Massa explains. Finally, you and The Prospective Boyfriend are doing something romantic that could lead to something serious.
Remember that he's already your friend, so there's a whole lot that he likes about you, Massa says. That means no crazy makeup or boob shirts when he's used to seeing you casual.
This cultivates trust between the two of you, helps you come to a conclusion regarding your issue, and saves your friends from yet another venting session.
If you must get advice about your guy, take it from a friend who is in a happy and healthy relationship.
For once, don't jam your calendar with plans a season in advance. Only when they finally went out to dinner together did they both realize their connection.
The process of actually finding your ideal partner can be even more of an arduous process challenge.
Especially when so many conflicting sources spew outlandish advice for dating. If you want to call the next day after a date DO IT!
According to Schneider, it's particularly important to allow men the ability to pursue you in this modern age of technology. Once a guy knows you're interested by initiating conversation, it kind of throws the whole chase off." Schneider cautions women to not be so accessible.
"If I can reach you on Facebook, can text you or tweet you - there's no mystery. It's just instant hook-ups and contact and everything's last minute," says Schneider. "Women are texting guys in the middle of the night, back and forth for hours, and they're not getting dates.

694 Third Avenue
New York, NY 10017
(212) 986-5555
After a super healthy meal a few days before, I must have thought I wanted something less nutritious. With only 20 minutes to order food, I ended up at Amaze Restaurant, an eatery that doesn't seem to distinguish between the several different countries and cuisines in Asia. Due to their fusion style and affordable price, I was able to get a sushi roll, crab cake, Pad Thai and General Tso's chicken.
Lately when I've ordered a crabcake it's been pretty small, so that's what I expected with the Amazing crab cake. Instead they sent two thin, yet wide, VERY crispy patties. I could taste the oil and no, the sauce didn't help at all. What a disappointment. On to my go-to Thai dish, Pad Thai.
Pad Thai is usually the "peanut butter and jelly" of Thai – can't go wrong right? WRONG. I'm not even sure what to say. It was just gross. Not over or undercooked just really gross. The ¼ slice of lime on the side did nothing for it. I had my fingers crossed for another go-to meal – General Tso's chicken.
Now I know all this fried food is bad for you but I also figured they'd all be safe choices and I'd end up not eating one of 'em. With a fail behind the crab cake and Pad Thai I thought this Chinese staple HAS to do something for me. Not this time. The chicken resemble Katsu chicken but with sauce on it. The broccoli was overcooked so without chicken or broccoli there was no need to ear the brown rice. At this point I just expected the sushi to be bad as well.
Since "safe" seemed to be the theme here, I went with a Salmon roll. Luckily this was as I expected – decen.t By the time I got to the sushi I realized I should have just ordered a few rolls.
I love that the portions were so generous. I wish that I didn't taste so much oil in the food.
The only thing I was amazed by is how bad their "safe" dishes could be. With an excess of oil and poor cooking methods, Amaze is neither DELICIOUS nor NUTRITIOUS!

With some of the team's key contributors getting older and less effective, the Cardinals had to nail the 2014 NFL Draft, and they did just that. Without further ado, here is a prediction for how each of Arizona's 2014 draft picks will fare in their rookie seasons. Round 1, No. 27 Overall: Deone Bucannon, SS Getty Images Round 1, No. 27 Overall: Deone Bucannon, SS Getty Images Although the Cardinals surprised many with the selection of Deone Bucannon with the No. 27 overall pick, it was a smart decision for the team. Bucannon fills a huge need at strong safety for the team, and with Bucannon and Tyrann Mathieu in the secondary, the Cardinals have a great young duo of safeties. Round 2, No. 52 Overall: Troy Niklas, TE Getty Images Round 2, No. 52 Overall: Troy Niklas, TE Getty Images I wasn't a fan of this pick at first, but as time has gone on, the idea of Troy Niklas in Arizona's offense has grown on me. Niklas is raw from a receiving standpoint, but his blocking and the fact that there really isn't much competition on the roster bodes well for Niklas right away. Round 3, No. 84 Overall: Kareem Martin, DE Getty Images Round 3, No. 84 Overall: Kareem Martin, DE Getty Images In the third round, the Cardinals got an absolute steal in Kareem Martin. Arizona needed to add a pass-rusher in the draft, and Martin's athleticism and intensity make him a great bet to fill that need. Round 3, No. 91 Overall: John Brown, WR Getty Images Round 3, No. 91 Overall: John Brown, WR Getty Images Widely viewed as a reach in the third round of the draft, John Brown has already started to prove doubters wrong with his performance at OTAs. Sure, Brown's size is a concern, but his route-running, quickness and reliability make him a dangerous weapon out of the slot. Round 4, No. 120 Overall: Logan Thomas, QB Getty Images Round 4, No. 120 Overall: Logan Thomas, QB Getty Images When the Cardinals selected Logan Thomas at No. 120 overall, opinions varied all over the place. Some think Thomas has the talent to be a star, while others believe he was a wasted pick. That said, I'm on the side that believes Thomas is destined for stardom at the next level. His arm strength and measurables are off the charts, and with some work on his technique, Thomas has franchise quarterback written all over him. Round 5, No. 160 Overall: Ed Stinson, DE Getty Images Round 5, No. 160 Overall: Ed Stinson, DE Getty Images The Cardinals chose to add even more depth to their defensive line with the selection of Ed Stinson in the fifth round, and it was a sound selection for the team. Stinson isn't going to blow anyone away with his talent, but he's a hard-worker with the talent to be a valuable backup. Round 6, No. 196: Walt Powell, WR Getty Images Round 6, No. 196: Walt Powell, WR Getty Images I didn't understand this pick when the Cardinals made it, and I still don't quite get it. With Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd and John Brown likely to see the most targets in Arizona's receiving corps, Powell has an uphill battle to make the roster, let alone make an impact.

I'm walking 135 meters underground through a narrow, dimly lit corridor. I pull my fleece jacket zipper all the way up so my neck is covered and shove my hands into my pockets. It's nippy down here. Just then, I turn a corner and find snowy white, cauliflower-like growths along the walls.
So I reach out, break off a piece, and taste it.
I wasn't dreaming or in Willy Wonka's factory. I was in a salt mine—the Wieliczka Salt Mine, just outside Krakow, Poland.
The puffy white stuff was pure edible salt. Salt is still all throughout the mine, mostly in the form of rock salt, although in 1996 they stopped excavating the mine we're touring.
Emese and I were venturing through the Wieliczka's Tourist Route with about 25 others on an English-speaking guided tour, taking us through about 3 kilometers of corridors and 20 chambers. There are 800 steps too, including 350 just to get us to the bottom. Thank goodness for the elevator that lifted us out at the end.
The Wieliczka salt deposits formed a mere 13.6 million years ago. Rock salt was discovered in Wieliczka and the first shafts were dug in the 13th century. It's quite a special place, and one of 12 places on the very first UNESCO World Heritage List.
When planning our Krakow trip, we weren't sure if we wanted to visit the mine, but we're glad we did. It was a fascinating glimpse into a world I'd never known. Plus, it was just a cool place, literally and figuratively. (It happened to be quite hot the day we visited.)
Throughout the mine, there are amazing rock salt sculptures. One was a complete scene of the legend of Princess Kinga and how she brought salt to Poland.
There's also King Casimir the Great, who not only approved the mining laws in 1368, but also was a peaceful and savvy diplomatic ruler. I couldn't help but think Neptune when I looked at him.
And if it's in Poland, there's got to be a statue of the country's beloved Pope!
Out of the 20 chambers we visited, the Chapel of St. Kinga was my favorite. It's truly spectacular and can even be rented out for weddings and other events. Talk about a destination wedding!
You can also find other chapels, a ballroom, a restaurant, rest rooms, spa facilities, a saline lake, and even more throughout the mine. I'm thinking of visiting the spa sometime. First, I'll do a test run using the bath salts I bought…I just have to find a tub first.
PS. There was a fee to take pictures, so we split the cost, and Emese took all the pictures. All four pictures posted were taken by her. Thanks, Emese!

HIV/AIDS prevalence rate declines in Ghana – Statistics
The Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Nii Nortey Dua, says recent statistics have revealed a decline in the HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the country. Ghanaians must not become complacent to reverse the situation. He said considering the cost involved in the treatment of the disease there is the need to intensify awareness on the disease to prevent its spread.
Nii Nortey Dua said this during an inter-school football gala competition dubbed, Kick AIDS, Stay alive at Legon in Accra. It was organized by Youth Link Ghana, an NGO. He said research over the years has shown that the youth are the most vulnerable group in the HIV/AIDS pandemic. He therefore lauded initiatives by the NGO's to equip the youth with the necessary information about the disease to shape their lives for a better future.
The Communications and Public Relations Officer of the Ghana AIDS Commission, Eric Pwadura, urged Ghanaians particularly the youth to endeavour to get tested for the disease to know their status. He cautioned that if the youth are not well informed about the dangers of the HIV/AIDS Virus, the country may lose most of them before reaching adulthood.
Mr. Pwadura said it is critical to nip in the bud the situation by selling the message of abstinence, being faithful and the use of condom to the youth. He encouraged them to talk about HIV/AIDS in schools, churches and other youth gatherings to help in the fight against stigmatization.
The Executive Director of Youth Link Ghana, Kakra Opoju-Agyakwa said the event which brought pupils from sixteen Primary and Junior High Schools, was organized in collaboration with Right to Play and Play Soccer Ghana, both NGO's, to create awareness on the disease, and encourage positive lifestyles particularly among the youth.
