The words "bank-owned home" usually conjure up images of rotting porches and overgrown weeds. But the property that Bank of America just sold has neither of those things.
The home, a penthouse atop the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco, was just sold to a buyer for $28 million, making it the nation's most expensive bank-owned home, according to MSNBC's Martha C. White.
The bank acquired the 20,000 square-foot penthouse with sweeping city views in lieu of foreclosure back in July, MSNBC said. It had been listed at $35 million and the buyer remains anonymous.
The original owner, developer Victor MacFarlane, listed the property several years ago with an initial asking price of $70 million, according to SocketSite. That figure was later slashed to $49 million and then to $35 million.
The apartment has six bedrooms, seven full bathrooms, a gym and steam room, a movie theater, and parking for six cars.

How to Make BHO Edibles
Marijuana-infused edibles are an enduring classic in the world of cannabis; especially popular among those who need a smokeless option for consumption. Since PA state law only allows production and sale of cannabis oils at this time, we receive many inquiries about cooking edibles with concentrates. In addition to state law limitations, determining your dosage can also be challenging when baking with cannabis flower, whereas with concentrates it can be measure a lot more accurately.
Butane Hash Oil, also known as BHO, is a form of cannabis concentrate that typically comes in a waxy or crumbly texture. With a potency ranging from 55% to 90%, BHO concentrates rightly gained recognition as a more potent and less pungent alternative to cannabis flower, especially when cooking or baking.
When thinking about baking with high-quality medical marijuana, there are a few things to consider and keep in mind.
THC-A vs. THC
First things first: depending on the product you've purchased, you'll be able to see THC-A and/or THC levels of your concentrate on the package label. Most concentrates aren't decarboxylated (heat activated), and will have a very high THC-A and a low THC labeling . THC-A turns into THC when in contact with heat for a certain amount of time. THC-A loses approximately 13% of its mass when decarboxylated. After you've calculated how much of your THC-A corresponds to THC, you would additionally add the small THC amount in the label of your product. Please make sure to calculate your THC correctly. Below is a formula for calculating your total and final THC levels.
THCtotal = (%THCA) x 0.877 + (%THClabel)
(0.877 is the molecular mass of THC divided by that of THC-A)
Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), tinctures, or sublingual products are already decarboxylated and will be activated. However, products like budder, live sugar, wax, shatter will have to be heat-activated before consumed orally.
Before you start baking or cooking, you want to calculate the potency of the edibles you plan on making. It is easy to calculate, especially if you know the THC potency of your concentrate (see above to calculate your total THC). A full gram (1000mg) of concentrate with 65% THC is 650 mg of THC in your wax. In a half gram (500mg) with 65% THC you will have 350mg of THC.
Depending on how many baked goods you'd like to make, it should be somewhat easy to divide it up accordingly, once you've determined how many mgs of THC you have in your batch. The maximum legal amount in recreationally available edibles ranges from 5mg to 20mg per edible, depending on state law, however you're not bound by these limitations. If you're not sure about your perfect dose or are inexperienced with edibles, 3-5 mgs would be a good starting point.
For example, if you are planning to prepare 30 cookies with your full gram of wax that has 65% (650 mg) THC, then you'll simply divide 650mg by 30, yielding 21.7mg (approx.. 22mg) per each cookie—which is a little higher than what some states allow for sale. This is a high amount for inexperienced users. If you're not entirely sure, it is a good idea to start on the low end and mix in less, or even half of your concentrate until you arrive at a comfortable euphoria.
Instructions for decarboxylating your concentrates
A successful decarboxylation process will need careful timing and observation. There is a limit to the temperature and time you would be heating your concentrate.
There are a few different ways to decarboxylate your concentrate, but the surest way to most effectively activate your wax, shatter, budder would be to physically observe the concentrate as you are heating it up.
Items needed:
1 bake mix recipe and ingredients (for cookies, brownies, candies, etc. Your choice)
1 pan
1 small metal cup (1.5oz-2.5oz, depending on how much butter your recipe calls for)
When it comes to decarboxylating concentrates, there isn't an exact and ideal temperature or time. You will most effectively activate your concentrate by observing CO2 bubble formation as you're heating it up.
It is recommended to prepare your bake mix ahead of time, without adding your butter/oil ingredient-- which you will mix with your activated concentrate before pouring it in with the rest of your recipe.
Place your small metal cup on a stovetop pan and start your oven at a low heat. Drop your concentrate into the metal cup and observe your concentrate as it melts. After melting from a solid to a liquid state, the concentrate will slowly start bubbling up.
The bubble formation will be noticeable and observable. You will need to observe the rate of the bubbles that are forming and you should notice that the speed of the bubbles are increasing. Keep your eye on the concentrate and pay close attention to the bubbles forming.
As you are observing the bubbles forming, the rate of the bubbles will increase until it hits its peak, and will noticeably slow down.
Once you notice that the bubbling has slowed down, you should turn off your heat and let it sit on the pan for a few minutes-- this will allow for decarboxylation to continue without burning any of your material.
Once you've turned off the heat, and while your concentrate is still hot, thoroughly mix your butter with into the metal cup to create your own "cannabutter". Make sure it is still quite hot, in order for it to mix as evenly as possible with you butter.
The amount of butter will depend on the recipe that you are working with. Add it to the suggested amount of butter in your bake mix.
Pour your cannabutter into the rest of your bake mix. We recommend pouring the butter in parts and thoroughly mixing with the rest of the ingredients in between pours.
Once you have emptied all of your cannabutter into your mix, thoroughly mix the entire preparation, to ensure your each piece will have the same amount of THC in them.

Mental Heath + me
Today is Mental Health Day and it would be foolish of me not to say something.
All my life, I felt that darkness. But I never knew what to call it. In the months following my transition to college, I felt the world crumbling beneath my feet. There was a lot happening in my life. I felt like I was living in black and white. I was isolated, sad, and lonely. I remember thinking "Just suck it up."Finally, I was diagnosed with anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. It hit me like a truck.
This was it, this was the end.
Following my diagnosis came many trips to the hospital, many medications, and countless therapy appointments. I hid that all from everyone. Even writing this out, I feel a lump in my throat. How dare I show my weakness. I never told anyone, I lied to people about where I was going, and took Ubers to the Emergency Room. I was embarrassed. Everyone was out living the college life they all wanted and I was in my room with the door locked, on the phone with the emergency nurse while she tried to talk me down from my panic attack.
Today, I still feel all that hurt, isolation, and sadness. But thanks to medicine, doctors, and kind people in this world, life is back in color. Admitting I had a serious problem was my first step to a healthier life. I can go out with friends, have conversations, and feel confident in myself. The darkness never disappears, but it's mostly bright in my life now.
If you are struggling, DO NOT feel embarrassed. My door is open. I have cozy blankets and relaxing lighting. I have soothing candles and great bubble bath. I have an ice cream pint ready to eat and a dog ready to snuggle. Please reach out, this life is too fragile to go it alone. Thank you to everyone who hugged me, asked how my day was, and just cared. If someone special in your life is distant, do not assume they're ignoring you. They may be going through something you don't understand. I wish someone in my freshman dorm would have just asked if I was okay.
Tonight, I snuggle my emotional support animal and toast to happy and healthy year for everyone.

The number of diseases you can get from smoking cigarettes are incredibly high. We all know it's not good for us, but why do people still do it? Why are some willing to risk their health? Why is cigarette addictive, and why is it so hard to stop?
Among the diseases that you can get from cigarette smoking are lung cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and asthma. Studies also show that those who inhale secondhand smoke are at a higher risk of acquiring these, so you might want to consider quitting before you cause any damage to you and the people around you. These are not pleasant health conditions you want for yourself or anyone else.
Why People Smoke:
- Stress Reliever
Smokers say that they do it because it relieves them of stress. We all know that cigarettes have nicotine, and when it reaches the brain, it causes the brain to produce dopamine.
Dopamine is a chemical that serves as a messenger between brain cells. It is responsible for the feeling of pleasure, that's why it is addictive.
- Convenience
A pack of cigarette is not that expensive, and it is available everywhere. Unlike some other addictive substances, cigarettes are legal.
- Peer Pressure
Most of the smokers admit that they started smoking in their teenage years when they were at their peak of curiosity, and because the cigarette is one of the easiest to obtain, it is also one of the early addictions a person can have.
- Identity
Some people think smoking makes one look cool and tough. Somehow, maybe it can. But the idea that smokers couldn't fight the urge of smoking is a definite weakness.
- Addiction
Once a person is already addicted to smoking, it's hard for him to stop, and it may take a while and a lot of help and self-discipline to do it.
Why You Need To Stop Smoking:
- It's Bad For Your Health.
Cigarette smoking, as mentioned above, can cause a lot of fatal diseases. So smoking is like signing up to an agreement that you will live a shorter life.
- It's Bad For Everyone's Health
The worse thing about smoking is that you're not only harming yourself but everyone else around you.
- It Causes Your Teeth To Turn Yellow.
Cigarettes contain nicotine and tar which cause the teeth to turn yellow, or eventually brown.
- It Causes bad breath.
Since smoking mainly happens in the mouth, people overlook oral hygiene. Cigarettes have a lingering unpleasant smell.
- It's A Waste Of Money.
Since a pack of cigarettes is affordable, you won't notice that you're already spending too much for it. If you are a 1-pack daily, that would be 30 packs monthly. Try buying the whole lot just one time, and you'll realize how much money you can save if you're not smoking.
Simple Ways To Quit Smoking:
- Make a list of why you want to quit smoking. When you write down your reasons, it makes it more doable because you will have a concrete reminder of why you want to stop smoking.
- Make another list of why you are smoking. You will notice that most of your reasons are not logical. They are shallow and superfluous.
- Then make another list of the effects of smoking. You will realize that it's not worth it!
- Set a quit-day. Choose a day or days in a week when you're not going to smoke. It will help you gradually let go of smoking.
- Keep your mouth busy. Think of an alternative you can chew on like candies or gums, then go for the healthier stuff like fruits.
- Drink fresh orange juice. Studies show that oranges help decrease cravings, and at the same time boost the immune system.
- Eat bananas. Bananas contain vitamins and minerals which are beneficial in coping with the harmful effects of smoking.
- Limit your stick per day. Decrease your consumption every day until you're down to zero. Experts agree the most efficient way to stop is by doing it gradually.
- Engage yourself in physical activities. Sports will make you stronger and healthier. It is also addictive, so you are doing yourself a favor by switching to a healthy addiction.
- Hang out with people who don't smoke. Avoid people who smoke. Avoiding temptations is one way to stop, so when you're in the office, try going with people who are not going to invite you to smoke during breaks.
Cigarette smoking is a widespread addiction that people should try to quit. We have to admit that smoking does us a lot of harm, and probably no good at all. They say that it's difficult to stop smoking but just think about the consequences. Would you rather be in a hospital bed suffering from a fatal disease all because you won't quit?

I am in Quetzaltenango, visiting our local partner, FUNDAP, and the schools we are working with. I spent the last 3 days with Lotification San Marcos in El Palmar.
First the basics :The principle was there when we arrived, the teachers came out of their classes. I sensed an authentic positive welcome. The welcome was actually much more than what I was expecting, and in a way felt disproportionate to the help that TINFA and FUNDAP is bringing to the school. My counterpart Cesar from FUNDAP, seemed at ease with many of the teachers.
The donated equipment was there: the 2 computers, the video projector, the TV, the screen. Not only was it in the school, it was in use in three of the classrooms. (the third computer was purchased by thes school, financed by a sell of cookies and a tombola). The school has dedicated one room as the Virtual room. In that room the TV is attached high on the wall in a lockable shelf. Other lockers have been installed to store the other equipment. The virtual room also has a new ceiling, to reduce the outside noise, and limit the dust, humidity and all.
One teacher is using the equipment to practice problems in math. The kids are learning how to find the prime factors of a number. Another teacher is showing EnglishAnyone video 4, as a support to his English class. The other teacher is on google map, exploring the world, and zooming into the soccer field in Loma Linda. The school won the district title and the 4th grader who scored the decisive goal was in the room. He stood up and everybody clapped.
Now, there are many questions in the air. How many of the teachers are using the equipment, how difficult is it for them to use it in their classroom, what will happen once the ongoing support that we have provided through our local partner goes away, how does the neighboring community who did not get the equipment is impacted, how replicable is this model. Many questions to which we are hard at work finding answers little by little. We are measuring some of that impact in quantitative data. (knowledge of the teachers, attitude of the children towards education). But still, there is that high level somewhat intuitive question: is our intervention empowering the community (directly and indirectly) or are people feeling less capable of taking ownership of their future?
After visiting Lotificacion San Marcos, I believe that the answer is Yes. I can look at the kids, and these teachers in the eyes, and feel their positive attitude and their willingness to move forward. I do believe that our intervention had a little part to do with it.

Liran Baruch, who was injured in combat while serving in the IDF, discovered recently that the Israeli-Arab municipality of Jatt in the "Arab triangle" east of Hadera features a street named after the late terrorist and PLO commander turned Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. Baruch told Army Radio last Friday that a friend of his had run into the street name while using the GPS app Waze, and both were very upset over the idea that an Israeli town would commemorate this despicable man.
Baruch has since appeared on several news shows on radio and TV, speaking on behalf of his fellow disabled vets, demanding that the offensive street signs be removed. Meanwhile, another street, in a different Arab town, was discovered to have been named after an equally offensive enemy of Israel: Haj Amil al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and a good friend of Adolf Hitler's.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday night posted on his Facebook page: "I heard about the struggle of IDF disabled vets against naming a street after Yasser Arafat in the local council Jatt in the northern Sharon region. I talked about it with Interior Minister Aryeh Deri, particularly because his ministry did not approve [the street naming]. In the state of Israel we will not name a street after Arafat – and we will take steps to remove the sign."
To which the head of the Jatt municipality, former MK Muhammed Wattad responded, telling Army Radio on Sunday, "I regret that the prime minister was forced to interrupt his busy schedule to deal with a street named after Yasser Arafat in the small community of Jatt."
"I understand the political pressure and stress he is under in the rightwing camp," Wattad continued. "We will accept his appeal, examine it according to the law and act accordingly." Wattad also explained that "as far as we're concerned, Yasser Arafat was a leader."
Many comments on the PM's Facebook page supported his statement, but many others also wondered why he chose to ignore all the other problems (different lists cited in each comment, but many featuring child poverty, battered elderly, hungry Holocaust survivors and police brutality) – to give such high priority to a street name no one had known about before last Friday.
Then there were the inevitable comments about that famous 1996 picture of Prime Minister Netanyahu shaking hands sincerely with the Chairman from Ramallah at the Erez crossing in Gaza, and the other handshake from 1998, when Bibi gave most of Hebron to the Chairman, and the Camp David handshake when Bibi, Arafat and President Clinton were offering the Chairman the moon. So that, really, coming down on an Arab municipality for naming a street after the PM himself respected quite a bit seems a tad pot-calling-the-kettle-blackish.

MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. – Qualifying for the Conference Carolinas Championship in just its second season as a program will have to be accomplishment enough for the women's lacrosse team right now.
The Lady Bulldogs made their first appearance ever in the league tournament on Wednesday as the No. 7 seed, but could do little with conference power and No. 2 seed University of Mount Olive.
The Trojans (14-4) scored eight goals over the first 15 minutes of the quarterfinal match and held Barton (5-10) to one shot in the first half before letting off the gas in an eventual 15-2 triumph.
Freshman Brooke Lonergan tallied both goals for the Lady Bulldogs, scoring on a free position shot for the first goal of the second half, and adding another score 10 minutes later off an assist from Rebecca Fraser.
Mount Olive completed the match with a 37-9 edge in shots. Barton keeper Katherine Mattena registered 14 saves to prevent more damage by UMO.
Fraser collected a match-high nine groundballs and three draw controls as well as BC's only caused turnover. Mattena added six groundballs and Kayli Ashenfelter picked up five.
The Trojans committed just 11 turnovers in the contest compared to 26 for Barton.
BC posted three conference victories in its second season. The Lady Bulldogs will return the majority of their team members next year, as the squad had no seniors and only one junior.

The gut is at the root of so many of our issues. Many of us are now suffering with digestive issues such as indigestion, constipation, stomach aches, fatigue, food intolerances or mood issues. Poor gut health often has a role in conditions such as eczema, obesity, dyspraxia, behavioral problems, depression, ADHD, OCD and autism.
Some of the common factors that affect poor gut health include low stomach acid, bad bacteria, parasites and yeast.
What do we need for good gut health?
Gastric acid, gastric juice or stomach acid, is a digestive fluid formed in the stomach and is composed of hydrochloric acid (HCL) from potassium and sodium chloride (salt). This acid plays a key role in digestion of our food. The body therefore needs sufficient sodium and potassium.
HCL is a powerful antibacterial in the body. This HCL provides an acid environment which is important to have as it minimizes the overgrowth of bad bacteria, parasites and yeast which prefer a more alkaline environment.
Zinc deficiency alone is a big cause of many digestive problems. It's needed for so many functions including activating stomach acid, enzyme production in the liver, pancreas and elsewhere. Rebuilding zinc can take time and has to be done carefully with other mineral imbalances taken into consideration.
Elevated toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, aluminum, arsenic tend to impair digestion and elimination as well. They can block the spaces for minerals such as zinc, which then decrease HCL.
Copper is essential for controlling all types of fungi and some of the bad bacteria in the gut. Too much copper (also known as copper toxicity) can affect other minerals which then affect digestion. It can lower sodium and potassium by raising tissue calcium, slowing the oxidation rate, and decreasing the acidity in the stomach which helps bad bacteria and yeasts to grow.
A lack of iodine, vitamin B1 or B6 are also common culprits of inadequate HCL production. We then need HCL for the absorption of Vitamin B12! If B-12 levels get low, red blood cells get bigger and less efficient at carrying oxygen. This can cause low energy episodes.
Phosphorus is important for overall digestion, a low phosphorus can mean you're unable to digest protein well, have low stomach acid or intestinal infections (e.g. candida).
A hair mineral test can tell you if you have any of these mineral imbalances. It also shows how you metabolise your food. Many people I see are 'slow oxidisers' which means their metabolism is sluggish- thyroid, adrenals, detox, and digestion are all on the slow side. Whereas those who are have fast metabolism tend to have more trouble with diarrhea (or frequent bowel movements), high levels of stomach acid, gastritis and ulcers.
As you can see there's quite a few things we need for a healthy gut and digestion. I focus first on rebalancing minerals and other nutrients, ensuring we get a foundation for good health.

Since I was a kid I've been taught what I need to do to create a successful life.
The steps are easy to follow, and it's the same process for everyone.
You know how it goes.
- Do well at school: This gives you what you need to get into a good university
- Do well at university: This will give you a good chance to get a good job
- Do well at your job: This will mean you can climb the ranks and get a better role
- Climb the ranks at work: This will help you earn more money
- Buy more of what you want: This will help you be seen as successful
- Be seen as successful: Because we're all obsessed with this
- Be Happy: With all of these added up, you should be happy.
It looks like a really neat formula, and sounds very practical.
But there's one problem with it.
It doesn't work.
Have you ever wondered why we can't seem to reach a point of contentment?
Has it ever confused you that despite getting more of what we've been told to accumulate, we still long for more?
Have you ever noticed how advertising seems to feed on this desire we have to own a little bit more?
It's as though we're trying to find contentment in the wrong place.
Companies love this. Our vulnerability opens the door for them to offer the solution to our problems. It's usually found in the shape of a new phone, car, television, house or job.
We're literally being sold the idea that we can develop the life we crave through purchasing the latest release, update and upgrade.
It's the reason the iPhone 6 is ancient now.
So we become slaves to the chase for more (see here)
But it's an illusion.
The promises these companies make, never quite satisfy us as we hoped they would.
No matter how close we get to contentment, it eludes us at the moment we thought we found it.
Like the end of a rainbow, as we think we've found it, it disappears.
So we continue to work more to buy more but never quite find what we were hoping to.
It's a dream to the companies making money from us, and a pointless chase for those of us caught up in it.
Most of us are.
The problem with most of us doing the same thing is that it becomes normal.
And there is comfort in numbers.
Despite how depressed we are in our current situation we feel trapped in this horrible maze of dissatisfaction. But we've been taught that this is how life is, and everyone else is doing it. In fact, if we stop participating, people look at us like we're crazy, lazy and are not giving ourself the best chance to be successful.
So we continue working in a job we don't love, feeling depressed but justifying our decision to stay based on our decent pay, we're almost due for a promotion which means we'll earn more, so we can buy more to impress more people. Plus we get a weekend every five days and four weeks of annual holidays each year. We convince ourself that if we keep doing this until we're 65, we can finally retire, rest and do what you love.
So we waste some of the best years of our life chasing some illusion that we think gives us a sense of value, only to retire and feel as though we wasted our best years.
Are we kidding?
Honestly, what are we doing?
If you're stuck in this pattern of working towards the illusion of success, you're probably well aware of the side effects that join it
Debt: Because you don't have the money yet, but you want to buy it now
Stress: Because you owe money that you don't have yet
Anxiety: Because you're 'longing for more' never seems to be satisfied
Discontent: Because you feel that there must be a better way to use your time
Depression: Because you're stuck in this pattern, and can't seem to break free
As with any change, going through the following steps can be confronting and uncomfortable. Don't let the fear of where these steps will lead you, stop you from developing an intentional, purposeful life.
- Discover Enough At what point will you be content with how much you have? Don't accumulate for the sake of it. Find out what you need, and once you reach that, stop.
- Stop upgrading We don't need the latest model. Regardless of what the companies' promise the latest product will offer, they said about their last model as well.
- Think about your job Do you love it? What role does your work play in your life? Is it your passion? Is it supporting a passion? Are you working the amount you are because you need the amount you earn? Are there things that you could cut from your life that would allow you to need less money? Don't just work because you have been told that's what you have to do. When you start slowing down on your purchases, you won't need as much as you think.
- Bin credit cards One of the biggest problems with our 'must have it now' society is that we have lost the ability to save our money and buy the product we want with cash. Credit cards allow us to have what we want right now but also put the unnecessary stress of making repayments. Take your time and save.
- Choose focus carefully Take some time to consider your greatest passions. I promote the idea of discovering your top five priorities with the idea of committing your days to them.
- More money When you decide to step off the road that most people are travelling on, you will feel less obliged to buy the latest of everything. This will allow you to put your money towards the things that really add value to your life.
- More time Busy-ness is a bragging right in so many workplaces. But most of the people bragging about how busy they are are miserable. Spend less time doing a job you don't love, and enjoy the benefits that comes from having time for you.
- More rest Learn to use your down time to rest. Stop the hurry.
- More time for your passions Commit your extra time to the things you haven't been able to fit in until now.
- Less stress Stress is often a by-product of trying to fit more into less time. When you learn to take on less, you will enjoy the reduced levels of stress.

You can use an electric engraver on stone, glass and ceramic surfaces. Engravers use diamond tips to etch hard surfaces to create patterns and designs.
Things You'll Need
- Glass plate
- Black and white picture or pattern
- Tape
- Electric engraver with removable tips
- Safety glasses
- Black felt
- Soft cloth
Video of the Day
Place your black and white picture or pattern you wish to trace underneath the bottom of the glass plate. Tape it securely to the plate.
Choose and attach the appropriate-width tip to the engraver. Use a very thin tip for outlining a pattern and a wider tip for shading. If it's a very large design, you can use a wider tip for outlining and an even wider tip for shading.
Put on safety glasses.
Grasp the engraver like you would grasp a pen and hold it at about a 45- to 75-degree angle to the surface you wish to engrave.
Turn the engraver on and trace the outside of the pattern onto the plate with the tip of the engraver. Work from the outside of the pattern in an inward direction. Press down firmly when outlining a pattern and press more lightly, using a wider tip, when you are shading.
Remove the pattern once it has been traced and replace it with black felt for contrast.
Continue engraving and shading the inside of the design, wiping away the debris as you work with a soft cloth.

Africa isn't all toothy wildlife and acacia-dotted plains. In fact, Africa is blessed with a spectacular coastline and idyllic tropical islands just off the shore – great for beach holidays and ideal as an add-on to a safari.
There are numerous African destinations famous for beach holidays, each with its own flair and appeal. The beaches of South Africa's cosmopolitan Cape Town are pristine and beautiful, ideal for sunbathing particularly after a bracing swim in the Atlantic Ocean. The warm waters of the Indian Ocean and long sandy beaches flank the east coast of South Africa and is in close proximity to nearby safari destinations.
Mozambique oozes third world charm with a significant Portuguese influence, whist Namibia (on the opposite side of the continent) features desolate landscapes and beaches, with icy water rich in marine life. Kenya and Tanzania have some remarkably beautiful beaches, and strong Arab influences in the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba.
The Indian Ocean islands all have a different appeal .Madagascar for the exploring evolution enthusiast, Mauritius for resorts and watersports and the Seychelles for those looking for exclusivity. These are our favourite African island holiday destinations.
If you are looking to escape the humdrum and bustle of life and recline on one of Africa's pristine coastlines or remote islands, then have a look at our African Island and beach holiday options below (Warning, this could result in a sudden urge to pack your bags for Africa!)

In Nordock v. Systems, No. 14-1762 (Fed. Cir. Sept. 29, 2015), the Federal Circuit affirmed that there is no apportionment of "total profits" awards under 35 U.S.C. § 289 in design patent infringement. In this case, Nordock sued Systems for infringing its design patent covering ornamental features of a header plate of a loading dock leveler. Nordock prevailed and the jury awarded it $46,825 in reasonable royalties, indicating that Systems' profits were $0 because profit from the infringing leveler should be apportioned to just the header plate, and not the entire leveler.
Nordock appealed, arguing the court misapplied § 289, which provides that, as an alternative to reasonable royalties, design patent owners are entitled to the disgorgement of an infringer's "total profit" attributable to an infringing product, which evidence at trial indicated was at least $600,000. The Federal Circuit agreed, holding that under § 289, "total profits" means the infringer's total profit gleaned from sale of the product, not merely the profit apportioned to the infringing element. It also held that although disgorgement under § 289 and compensatory damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284 (i.e., reasonable royalty or lost profits) are awarded alternatively, a determination of both must be made in order to award the greater of the two. As result, the Court remanded for a new damages trial.

Mouse embryonic stem ES cells in culture can differentiate into late stages of manylineage-committed precursor cells. Under appropriate organ-culture conditions, ES celsdifferentiate into lymphoidlike cells at a stage equivalent to lymphoid cells found in fetalliver. These hematopoietic precursors are located in cup-shaped structures found in someembryoid bodies; we called such embryoid bodies -ES fetuses.- In this study, we havefollowed the maturation of hematopoietic cells after implantation of ES fetuses into nudemice for 3 weeks. ES-cell-derived lymphoid cells-pre-B cells, mature B cells, and mature Tcells were found in all lymphoid organs. Interestingly, there was also an increase of T cellsof host origin. Because native nude mouse lack thymus, these T cells might be educated bythymuslike epithelium generated from ES fetuses. Practical applications of this combined in vitro and in vivo system are discussed.

ISLAMABAD: Keeping in view the state of children in the federally administered tribal areas (Fata), Unicef has recommended to the federal government to repeal Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR) 1901. The recommendation states that constitutional amendments be made to bring Fata into the mainstream of the country. One of the most vital measures would be to repeal the FCR and introduce a more humane law to deal with adult criminals, separating them from child offenders, and enforcing the Juvenile Justice System Ordinance (JJSO) 2000 for the benefit of child offenders.
Unicef, in collaboration with the Commissioner for Children's Complaints, Federal Ombudsman, Islamabad, in its comprehensive report on the state of children in Pakistan has also made 19 recommendations to improve the conditions of Fata's children. "This is perhaps the first time that Fata's children have been discussed in some detail," the study claimed.

Mirror and Mask [Self Portraits 7th Series]
With the daily self portrait series' now being a full three month's old, this seventh blogpost shows a certain culmination. It re-emphasises the 'Mirror' as both means and symbol in pictures I have made since the last blogspot post, and then makes a selection from the Masque Suite of self portraits of March 2012. It finishes with some more straight self portraits.
In The Mirror:
Linear Signature
Our line is our signature. And our line tends to pursue a self portrait, no matter how subliminal. So this line drawing is my full signature.
|Imperium: Each man is his own imperium.
|White Night Light
There is a certain light at night, a steely, dry, sprinkling sheeted glow. Of course, this is none other than moonlight, and starlight. Cold, chill and terrifying, it makes a fugitive of me.
'how does somebody see themselves like this?'
I'm not trying to be clever or obtuse, but I genuinely don't know how such drawings come to be.
After all, when I sat down to draw it, I wanted to make a truthful representation of myself.
But it seems that when I start to draw I get into a kind of trance, and yet I know when the drawing is finished.
I then come to my senses and look at it with some surprise.
I hardly recall doing it and wonder at the strangeness of it.
The point I am trying to make is that there is no attempt - consciously - to make a strange image.
This might be related to the different sides of the brain theories.
I am right handed, and if I try to write with my left hand, I can't do it. And yet, while I draw right handed, I was surprised to find I could draw left handed too.
Clearly, drawing is antithetical to the rational processes in writing (and may explain why I need to drink Absinthe to write poetry).
So drawing is a madness, a Dionysian monsterous ejaculation. Excuse my vulgarity, but how else to convey in words what is in this picture?
This is a long winded way of my saying that I can take no credit for such a work.
Only Dionysos can be praised for this.
I Bask for a Moment in Colour
Your sun which has opened this budding flower layer upon layer,
has revealed this livlier eye.
Here in the pastel light, I await the closing drama of yet another
Black Night.
| Charcoal Black
|The Golden Sun Pours In Upon Me
|Compos mentis or non compos mentis?
From the Masque Suite:The mask and skull are central to the power of the self portrait, and the symbol of the mask has a psychological impact which is comparable to and complementary to, the physical impact of the Skull symbol. .
Development from the Death's Heads album, just as that latter album branched off from the Black Series of Self Portraits, so has this one, incorporating the Mask theme into self portraits.
Development from the Death's Heads album, just as that latter album branched off from the Black Series of Self Portraits, so has this one, incorporating the Mask theme into self portraits.
|The Lurker.
|The Metaphysics of the Mask
That in itself is the metaphyics of the masque: life is the mask of the gods.
Pre-Sent: I Present the Golden Masque to the Gods, Turning My Back on Death.
'An Actor and His Ideal' - The phrase is from Nietzsche when he was describing Wagner, and those who are called 'great men' generally. There are no 'great men'; there are only actors and their ideal.
This is also Shakespearian with us all playing bit parts on life's stage.
No rehearsal?
No reality either.
Peel away one mask and find another ... ad inifinitum.
The Masque of Youth
Tempting Fate's Masque
|Be-Hold the Masque
The Eye becomes cyclopian in its terror: thus does it 'live' - sucking up all visual experience,
within the whirlpool vortex of its gaze.
"Put back the mask!", saith the world -
"be like us and turn a blind eye".
Enter The Plague Doctor
The Masque of the Gods
Even limitless space is a mask of the gods.
Some are able to peer behind that cosmic mask ... and survive ... briefly.
Fugitive Unmasking
The Masquerade
The roster of masks so far. To the left the skull wearing a hat bearing the ace of clubs, and so of death. The red mask of life, lust, and deception. The self portrait, and so the self's eye penetrating to the depths, and yet recoiling form the very same - and the hand which makes the image. And on the far right the self portrait as a sick man, wearing the mask of the plague doctor - a self infected by the plague and yet the self-same intent on destroying the plague: "what does not kil me strengthens me". So we have life, sickness and death - all of them "imposters" to be treated the same.
Back to the Mirror:
The Enchanter. For Austin Osman Spare
I began this as a study of the hand for a possible large pastel when it began to take on a sinister aspect. The eyes over the hand, observing their subject, had a mesmerising look. Subconsciously I must have been thinking of certain photos of Crowley with gesturing hand, as if casting spells.
Also the colours I used, the yellows and reds, happened to recall Kennedy's painting of Crowley (which also features hand gestures). Also there is the abiding example of Spare, a genuine combination of artist and magician.
And this is what this picture is getting at.
I am of the opinion that the artist and magician are just recent specialisations. In ancient times, he says vaguely, the artist and mage would have been embodied in one person.
We may refer to the shaman here, but I prefer the term 'enchanter', as it combines both aspects.
Enchantment, as in magic, and the stem 'chant', to sing. I recall that one of the Norse terms for a sorceror referred to using red pigment (more vagueness).
|Black Soul
|Sunlit Dance
|Hard Fought
|Listening to Them
From the darkness I emerged and to the darkness I will return.
My purism is this: the eye must try and see itself, and it must be alive and of the moment.
The self portrait sessions are 'painful' in the sense that one is fighting against the inborn tendency to hide oneself. And so, offering oneself up to the examination has only the anasthetic offered by the joy of creating. But even there one is faced with the flawed nature of any human creation. So one confronts failure eternally. The failure of one's physical being and one's creative being. But then this life is all failure, and drawing naturally goes towards the expression of vanitas, i.e., emptiness.
So I draw out of melancholy. most defintely. And I seek to emerge out of melancholy via drawing. But then I realise that melencholy is a worthwhile state [see 'The New Black' book by Darian Leader]. So there cannot be 'too much' delving into oneself. And this is Socratian - once again, Socrates appeared early in my self portrait series.
I have only black blood that must be ejaculated - it is black bile, i.e., the melancholy humour itself.
Yes, I am naked, weary ... that is my destiny.
The eye contact is essential, but as I have noted elsewhere, in all drawing one has to momentarily take one's eye off of the subject - and that is the crucial Moment in self portraiture - it is what causes the distortion in one eye that we seen in van Gogh and Durer.
I note that Rodin drew the nude without looking at his paper. But even if one were to do that, one's eye would momentarily falter as one *imagined* the paper.
So there is nothing for it.
My self portraits must be honest in this respect. I cannot do it any other way and I am an enemy of photography in drawing.
But part of that honesty is that one is always a stranger to oneself.
Drawing is already a kind of play ... how would a child respond to the idea. 'do a self portrait'?
I think it would be something incomprehensible to an elemental childe.
Durer did a self portrait at age 13 but he was a rare beast.
Love's glove.
Mmy state is that of overcompleteness.
I am ever overflowing, frothing.
How does that relate to my drawing?
He who overflows is voracious and must feast and drink eternally.
This is the Dionysian aspect.
So my drawing is forever split.
The rampant Dionysian erectile abandoned strokes raking the canvas skin on the one hand, and on the other the boundary making, linear, restrained, binding the canvas mind, Apollonian.
The strict machine.
I am both of these, at war.
Never complete.
As Nietzsche said, if I were a god I would be ashamed of my clothes.
I certainly hate clothes and all other sartorial lies.
I cannot lie because there is no truth.
And that is why I draw.

my eldest baby is in year one already! unlike last semester, now he wears shirt complete with a striped tie. fancy!
first day of school
this time around, he will also learn arabic – just very basic – but still i'm excited for him. i learn arabic when i was in UIA and it was super-tough. it's great that khaleef can get the exposure at a young age.
there's also islamic education, which starts with the most important fact – Allah is the creator of everything, and the lesson goes from there.
there's also the subject UAE S.S – which stands for 'united arab emirates social studies'. social studies? social studies?! when i was his age, i don't even know what a 'social studies' subject is. heck, i don't even know what 'social' means! if i'm not mistaken, in this subject they will learn about the culture and customs in the UAE, like the national dress – abaya and kandura for example.
and how about that tuesday lesson at the end – ICT? info & communication tech? man! kids these days seem to be born complete with IT manual haha. year 1 pun ade computer lesson! well, babies as young as few months can already operate the mouse once they learn how to sit up!
i was already in my standard 5-6 when i got to even touch my first computer keyboard! when abah brought back that bulky desktop, we were so excited that we slept in front of the computer so that we could be the first to play with it when we woke up. haha.
on the other hand, it's a very positive thing when you realize that these young kiddos motivate themselves to learn how to spell their favorite cartoon so that they could 'search' for the videos on youtube. they can also play all sorts of language/maths game on the internet all by themselves.
khaleef is in the blue team - water
study smart, and play hard my son! discover your passion, and explore your imagination. mak and bapak will always be around to lend a hand (and nag you about homework). most of all, ENJOY because when you're all grown up, you'll soon realize that this is one of the best times of your life!

How to Screen Your Salespeople: Conducting an Honest Interview
Last week, I released the first half of a two-part series regarding the hiring of great salespeople (read the first post here). In this post, we are lucky enough to have even more advice from Darica Ward, the Chief Marketing Officer of SkillSurvey, Inc. Her insights are invaluable in terms of managing sales recruiting strategy.
Darica, is there a typical structure that works best for interviewing sales people?
The first thing is to use some candidate assessment tools, such as online reference checking, prior to the interview itself. In the interest of full disclosure, I admit to a bias toward Pre-Hire 360, SkillSurvey's automated reference-checking system for collecting feedback from a candidate's managers, peers, and subordinates.
When this is done prior to your interview with the candidate, the reference feedback can guide the direction of your interview, giving you the ability to probe for more details on skill sets highlighted from former managers and colleagues as needing further development. You can even compare candidates' behaviors and past performance from their references' feedback. There are also a variety of other candidate assessment tools available, including personality tests, skills tests, and simulation testing.
The best, most revealing interviews are those that are based on behavioral questions — questions that require candidates to describe how they've handled a situation in the past, or how they approach a particular challenge. For example, you might ask, "Tell me about a time when you were able to overcome the odds and make a sale with a prospect that was initially not interested. Tell me the exact situation, your role, what action(s) you took, and the final result." Even this approach, though, won't reveal everything you need to know. The most effective process is to combine behavioral interviews with reference assessment.
Interviewers frequently make the mistake of focusing on outcomes when interviewing sales people. It's far better to explore the candidate's process with questions such as, "Share with me the best voicemail you ever left." Or, "How do you personalize an introductory note to someone when you first get a lead?" If you're satisfied that the process is right, it's safe to assume that the desired outcomes will follow.
How can an expansion-stage sales leader better prepare him/herself for the interview process?
Organizations in the expansion stage typically are struggling to scale the business. Their focus, understandably, is on sales, not on "nice-to-haves" like HR infrastructure. In my view, this is a mistake. In the absence of formalized processes and tools, people are forced to make it up as they go along … to "trust their gut." It's far better to invest the time to create a formal candidate interview process and properly train people to use it. Skimping on this will only come back to haunt you in the long run. It takes a long time to undo the damage of a poor hiring decision.
A lot of people think reference checks are a waste of time. Do you agree or disagree?
If you've outsourced your background checks to a firm that is just going to verify a candidate's employment history, then, yes, I agree. It's a waste of your resources.
It is possible to get much more meaningful feedback on a candidate's on-the-job performance — including candid verbatim comments — via an automated reference checking system. Again, I'm biased. But why settle for the bare minimum when you can learn about a candidate's strengths and developmental needs from people who've observed the candidate on the job?
Darica, thank you for your time in answering these questions. Can you give me SkillSurvey's elevator pitch and how your tools can help screen your sales people?
SkillSurvey is the inventor of online reference-checking solutions that collect feedback from references on a candidate's behaviors and past work performance. Our methodology gathers information uniformly for each candidate, providing an even playing field for decision making. The behaviorally-based questions are geared to reveal candidates' strengths and developmental needs in areas that correlate with success in a particular job family. We have over 700 clients representing the Fortune 1000 to SMB with many relying on our Sales Job Family of reference assessments to help them hire only A+ players in their field.
What do you think of Darica's advice? What words of wisdom can you offer in terms of sales recruiting strategy?

Bernie Sanders just defended Israel on Al Jazeera Here's why that's a big deal
May 12, 2017
WASHINGTON (JTA)-In an appearance on Al Jazeera, Bernie Sanders defended Israel's right to exist, rejected BDS as a tactic and assailed the United Nations for singling out the country for condemnation.
The Vermont senator's interview Wednesday on the Qatar-based network, known for its often hypercritical coverage of Israel, was consistent with a style that Americans came to know last year during his run for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination: Sanders does not modify his messaging for his audience.
Sanders, despite his defeat in the primaries to Hillary Clinton, who went on to lose to Donald Trump, remains the standard-bearer of the American left. His robust rejection of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement is evidence that a firewall remains on the American left against more radical expressions of Israel criticism that have gained traction overseas.
The interviewer, Dena Takruri, challenged Sanders for joining every other U.S. senator last month in signing a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urging him to remedy the body's "anti-Israel agenda."
Takruri asked why Sanders was "effectively trying to shield [Israel] from criticism." Sanders interrupted, "No, no, no, no, no, I don't accept that," saying "there are many problems with Israel" and he would continue to "be critical of a lot of what Israel does."
"On the other hand, to see Israel attacked over and over again for human rights violations which may be true, when you have countries like Saudi Arabia or Syria, Saudi Arabia-I'm not quite sure if a woman can even drive a car today," Sanders said.
"So I think the thrust of that letter is not to say that Israel does not have human rights issues-it does-but to say how come it's only Israel when you have other countries where women are treated as third-class citizens, where in Egypt, I don't know how many thousands of people now lingering in jail, so that's the point of that, not to defend Israel but to say why only Israel, you want to talk about human rights, let's talk about human rights," he said.
Asked by Takruri whether he "respected" BDS as a legitimate nonviolent protest movement, Sanders said, "No, I don't." The senator suggested in his reply that the tactic was counterproductive as a means of bringing the sides to peace talks.
"People will do what they want to do, but I think our job as a nation is to do everything humanly possible to bring Israel and the Palestinians and the entire Middle East to the degree that we can together, but no, I'm not a supporter of that," he said.
"What must be done is that the United States of America is to have a Middle East policy which is even-handed, which does not simply supply endless amounts of money, of military support to Israel, but which treats both sides with respect and dignity and does our best to bring them to the table."
Sanders also rejected Takruri's assertion that the two-state solution is almost dead and said he would not embrace a one-state solution.
"I think if that happens, then that would be the end of the State of Israel and I support Israel's right to exist," he said. "I think if there is the political will to make it happen and if there is good faith on both sides I do think it's possible, and I think there has not been good faith, certainly on this Israeli government and I have my doubts about parts of the Palestinian leadership as well."
Sanders, the first Jewish candidate to win major party nominating contests, was critical of conventional pro-Israel postures during the campaign, but also defended the state.
He told MSNBC last year that anti-Semitism was a factor driving the BDS movement, yet in a debate in the New York primary-with its critical mass of Jewish voters-Sanders chided Clinton for barely mentioning Palestinians in her speech earlier the same year to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
During the campaign, he hired as his Jewish outreach staffer Simone Zimmerman, who founded IfNotNow, which protests mainstream U.S. Jewish silence on Israel's occupation. Although Sanders fired Zimmerman after her vulgar postings on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to light, the very hiring was a signal that there was now a political home for young Jews who embraced the idea of Israel but were willing to robustly protest its government's actions.
Sanders also named prominent Israel critics to the Democrats platform-drafting committee, yet when their Israel-critical language was rejected, he nonetheless robustly endorsed the platform because it met his other demands on economic inequality. He described himself at a meeting in New York's Harlem neighborhood as a "strong defender of Israel" and for the first time spoke warmly about the time he spent in Israel in the 1960s on a kibbutz.
Democrats in recent years have grown increasingly critical of Israel, a result in part of the parlous relationship between Netanyahu and President Barack Obama, and the fraught tone of the debate in 2015 over the Iran nuclear agreement.
But the tense tone of the Al Jazeera interview and Sanders' refusal to accept anti-Israel pieties commonplace among progressives here and overseas suggests the resistance among Democrats to more radical expressions of Israel criticism. Democratic lawmakers, for instance, continue to join Republicans in overwhelmingly approving anti-BDS legislation on the state and federal levels.

December 18, 1984, Section C, Page 22Buy Reprints
''NOVA'' visits tonight with a paleontologist, examining both the man and his works. He is Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard, popular lecturer, dinosaur expert and, ''Nova'' says, ''one of the liveliest voices in science today.'' He is also a regular fellow. The one-hour program will be seen on Channel 13 at 8 P.M.
In fact, it's easy to see why Mr. Gould's course, ''The History of the Earth and of Life,'' attracts so many students. It's interesting stuff, and Mr. Gould, tieless, sleeves rolled up, presents it with cheerful vigor. Moreover, he extrapolates, finding in fossils cultural and historical lessons.
On the other hand, Mr. Gould claims no special wisdom for science, and modesty is part of his charm. ''There is this myth about science,'' he says, ''that science is different, that it's objective, that there's a scientific method, that there are right answers, that there is a special way of doing things - that scientists are a priesthood that have latched on to an arcane set of techniques that allow them to find the truth.''
Meanwhile, we see Mr. Gould playing ball with his son, and also, courtesy of ''Nova,'' realizing an old dream: He meets Joe DiMaggio. A moment later, he extrapolates, explaining why there are no more .400 hitters. His enthusiasm is contagious, and his interests go in all directions. We also see him in the Bahamas, studying a land snail. Why is he doing this?
''It's the pure joy of discovering something new,'' he says, ''and understanding a creature better than anyone in the world has ever understood it.''
We are seeing, one supposes, the ideal academic. Mr. Gould, distinguished in his field, also seems like a thoroughly nice man. At the same time, he seems to make his students feel good. There is almost a paradox here. We hear Mr. Gould arguing against cultural bias, saying it can distort even science. He also says, ''I don't think science contains the answer to moral questions.'' The paradox is that we suspect the students may confirm their own moral and political biases through Mr. Gould's lectures.
Thus we see Mr. Gould testifying before a Congressional committee about the horrifying effect of a nuclear winter. He is sitting next to Carl Sagan, another popular scientist. Then we see Mr. Gould delivering a college commencement address. Again he is talking about nuclear winter.
Nuclear winter, or the destruction of earth's ecology, is indeed a fit subject for science. At the same time, it is often used to argue a political position: disarmament, as opposed to deterrence. This raises a question: Does a political position determine a scientific interest, or does a scientific interest determine a political position? Can scientists, no special priesthood, as Mr. Gould says, or their students, even separate the two?
It is a puzzler, and one would like to hear it argued, possibly on ''Nova.'' Meanwhile, tonight's episdode, ''Stephen Jay Gould: This View of Life,'' produced by Linda Harrar, is an interesting piece of work. The series is presented on public television by WGBH of Boston.

Urban Istanbul extends from Galata Bridge at the Golden Horn to the First Bosphorus Bridge some 6km north. Here the docks and glorious palaces evoke of the city's historic past. Cruise ships dock at Karaköy, which is one of several points of departure for the Asian shore. Beyond it is the district of Tophane (The Armoury), Istanbul Modern and Sinan's Kılıç Ali Pasha Mosque. Palaces abound, including the almost overpowering Dolmabahçe Palace (open to the public as a museum) and the Çırağan Palace, now the elegant Çırağan Palace Kempinski Hotel.
Behind Dolmabahçe and the towering Swissôtel is upmarket Maçka where Istanbul's Bond Street, Abdi İpekçi Caddesi, has a couple of very good hotels, The House, and now the St Regis, and three concert venues, the Açık Hava Tiyatrosu (Open-air Theatre), the Cemal Reşit Rey, and the Lütfi Kırdar (also used for events), as well as the Istanbul State Theatre.
Away from this ritzy neighbourhood, overlooking Beşiktaş is Yıldız Palace, where Abülhamıd II retreated to create a city within a palace. Its many mansions, theatre, museum and park are fully explored in Cornucopia 52. In the grounds, too, he built the vast Chalet Kiosk for the German Ambassador, described in Cornucopia 22. Nearby is a wonderful collection of gilded imperial caiques in the new Naval Museum, pictured in Cornucopia 51. They would be used to convey sultans Abdülmecid and Abdülazis to Friday prayers at Mecidiye Mosque in Ortoköy, where the city ends. Its old market district is a maze of streets surrounde by fancy restaurants, jazz clubs and luxury nightclubs such as Reina, where the wealthy clientele arrives by boat.
Karaköy, at the head of the Galata Bridge, is at the heart of Istanbul's old docks. On one side lies Tophane, Istanbul's trendy new arts district, on the other the incomparable hardware district. Enjoy it while you can.
The cool end of the docks: from grime and crime to high art, hedonism and café society, the northern end of the Galata docks is enjoyed a magical transformation in the last decade but is still, happily, laced with old-fashioned grit.
Lively Beşiktaş is where the Bosphorus begins. This former working-class town has a long naval history and a fine museum with a fabulous collection of royal caiques, reviewed in Cornucopia 50.
Once an Ottoman pleasure ground, now arguably the Republic's swishest district, with long views over a park across the Bosphorus.
The hilltop palace of Abdülhamid II and its extensive grounds, once a city in itself, is now an island of green.
Ortaköy is as close as Istanbul comes to Venice, with a seaside square with a row of now rather too established cafés, a 19th-century ballroom of a mosque, a decent jazz club and an excellent kilim shop.

I realised after finishing part 1, that I'd missed my target by so much I could have shot myself in the foot. Nothing new there then.
What I was really after was some kind of sane explanation regarding how PEAK rating (or MUSIC rating; same difference) is the only one that makes sense in the context of speaker ratings. Instead of this, disappointingly, I was wont to ramble on about spectacles with springs in, and I think camels came into it somewhere. So I am definitely going to be disciplined and not have anything to do with hedgehogs, emu's or camels. Now where did I put my specs with the springs in……
The problem with rating a speaker cabinet in RMS values, is that RMS, strictly speaking, deals with only one frequency. So an amp, preamp, output level of some ficticious device (we'll call a toadophone) will be rated in RMS at one particular frequency. Often this frequency is either 1 kHz or 400 Hz. A second or two's thought will be sufficient to prove that an RMS rating on a speaker cabinet tells you nothing at all that's useful. This is a happy situation, because a second or two's thought is all I'm motivated to string together on Tuesdays. Even though it is Wednesday.
What's wrong with RMS then? Nothing, except that your bass speaker has to take maybe 4 octaves whereas your tweeter has only got to survive 1 octave. If this sounds unfamiliar, then I'm afraid you have to go back to part 1 and suffer camels and spring-loaded specs. Or was it spring-loaded camels? Well, anyway, if we think in terms of PEAK or MUSIC power this problem can be sorted out.
Let's say we've got an amp that kicks out say 50 watts RMS. MUSIC or PEAK rating (for the same thing) works out to be double that (give or take). We saw that in part 1. So your speaker cabinet has to be able to handle 100 watts MUSIC. This means that all the speakers in your cabinet have to at least equal the 100 watts MUSIC output of your amplifier. If they were all exactly the same speakers, each one would take a third of the total 100 watts. So, 33 watts each (ish). A bass player's 4 x 12 cabinet works exactly like this. 25 watts each for a hundred watt cab.
Taking a look at the picture we used in the last post (sounds like I should be playing a trumpet. No, don't go there) the three speakers are obviously not the same. This is where the power per octave comes into it. As we said, there's a thing called a CROSS-OVER in the cabinet, and its job is to sort out which frequencies go to where. These are guesses, but not too far off. The bass speaker gets 4 octaves, the mid-range gets 3 octaves, and the tweeter gets 1 octave.
If we now say that the cabinet in total has to handle 8 octaves then each octave has an eighth of the total, so about 12 watts (just over).
From that, we can see that the bass speaker has to handle 4 of those total octaves, so 4x 12; is around 50 watts.
The Mid range, 3 octaves. So 3×12 or 36 watts. And the tweeter one octave, so 12 watts.
If we want to go to the trouble of dividing those figures by two, we get RMS ratings for each speaker of ; 25 watts bass;
18 watts mid; and 6watts tweeter. Or thereabouts.
Here it is that we get to the point. If we rate the cabinet in RMS we have to state the frequency of the rating. So the cabinet is 50watts at 400 Hz, or 18 watts at 1kHz, or 6 watts at 10 kHz.
This is obviously completely meaningless, and worse than that, misleading. The power rating in PEAK or MUSIC power, however, makes perfect sense. It's a 100 watts; and that 100 watts is sorted out within the cabinet by the cross-over.
I would like to have put a few more pictures in but I couldn't think what for. Maybe a picture of my dog then? But I don't have a dog. "Oww! I thought you said your dog don't bite!" "That's not my dog."
Tea time.

The fraudster by the name Mr. Solomon who swindled Vivian Jill GHc800 few weeks ago through mobile money has been clutched by the police according to information akrasibridget.com has chanced on.
The man in question posed as a businessman and contacted Vivian for a contract to shoot an advert, which she agreed to meet the man in Kumasi to discuss and sign the contract.
The man who decided to come to Kumasi to meet Vivian made someone posed as a policeman who had arrested him( Mr Solomon) on his way for careless driving and possession of pistol.
They however requested for Ghc800 which Vivian sent.
It was later discovered that it was a scam when the latter requested for another money.
And in the process of enquiries it was found out that, the fraudster had already defrauded Aunty Bee of "Efiewura, Maame Serwaa and Salinko.
Vivian who became a victim then circulated an audio recording alerting colleague movie stars and the general public.
But in a nutshell, the fraudster has been arrested and is at the police custody.
Full details will be available to the public when we get hold of it.
