Voivodeships Of Poland
A voivodeship (; pl, województwo ; plural: ) is the highest-level administrative division of Poland, corresponding to a province in many other countries. The term has been in use since the 14th century and is commonly translated into English as "province". The Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998, which went into effect on 1 January 1999, created sixteen new voivodeships. These replaced the 49 former voivodeships that had existed from 1 July 1975, and bear a greater resemblance (in territory, but not in name) to the voivodeships that existed between 1950 and 1975. Today's voivodeships are mostly named after historical and geographical regions, while those prior to 1998 generally took their names from the cities on which they were centered. The new units range in area from under (Opole Voivodeship) to over (Masovian Voivodeship), and in population from nearly one million (Opole Voivodeship) to over five million (Masovian Voivodeship).

Mud baths are conceived as public bathing spaces created in open areas. However, the commercialisation of the idea led to its presence in many high-end spas in many countries of the world. Mud baths come from many sources: *Lakes (e.g. Lake Techirghiol in Romania and Käina Bay in Estonia) *Saltwater sea (e.g. Dead Sea in Jordan and Israel) *Hot springs (e.g. Calistoga, Napa Valley, California) *Mud volcano (e.g. Tiga Island, Malaysia, El Totumo, Colombia) Mud baths in the United States are most common at resorts, particularly in California and Miami Beach, Florida. The mud at these baths consists of a combination of local volcanic ash, imported Canadian peat, and naturally heated mineral waters. Historically, mud baths have been used to treat neurological, rheumatologic (osteoarthritis) and cardiov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
