 others, like the gospel-style song of praise to the morning.
Muntu Dance Theatre performed Kakilambe, a dance from Guinea that tells the story of a woman possessed by an evil spirit and freed of that possession by a good one. The story is as clear as glass, the dance is filled with moments of humor and terror and tenderness, and the Muntu dancers gave it their characteristic all, with a precision and power I haven't seen from any other African American troupe.
One of Kakilambe's lessons concerns the dangers of isolation, of entrapment in the self: the evil spirit works alone and in secret, the young woman possessed is pointedly removed from and then restored to her community. In many ways African traditions--respect for authority, honoring the old ways, playing well-defined roles--are so oriented toward maintaining social order that they can seem almost kitschy: uncomfortably distant from the traditions of Western art, which at least for a few centuries has focused on the individual who stands outside the culture and criticizes it.
Yet in a country as racially divided as ours, an event like DanceAfrica makes a radical political and artistic statement. Optimism in the arts is crucial but tricky: it can't consist merely of pasted-on grins or pasted-on anything. But African dance, so fundamentally energetic and outgoing, has optimism built into its very form, into its assumptions about communication. If I call, you'll respond, the performers seem to say, inviting people of all colors to a party where things matter more than beings.

This Marbles folder is an ingenious little pocket knife which incorporates a 400mm (16in) long folding ruler. The stainless blades are non-locking and both under three inches, making it legal to carry in the UK.
Great for the price. Longer than expected when folded up, and the lines don't fully match when open, but for this price, it's great.
Not very sharp on arrival, but a nice little pocket gadget for EDC.
It would be rude not to buy one!
Got from in a Secret Santa.The number of companies adopting Ripple’s XRP token powered cross-border payments solution xRapid is expanding. A total of 12 companies have now confirmed they have either implemented or plan to utilize the xRapid technology."Ripple Payment Solution xRapid is Expanding"
So far, Ripple XRP has confirmed cryptocurrency exchanges Bittrex, Bitso, Coins.ph and Bitstamp will use the software technology solution to boost payments between the United State and the Philippines, and Mexico.
Ripple XRP also says payment platforms Cuallix, Mercury FX, and Catalyst Corporate Federal Credit Union will use xRapid technology to improve the speed of their user's cross-border payments.
Outside of that, more 8 additional companies have announced that they plan to implement xRapid technology in the future.
Ripple developers launched xRapid for commercial production in October, highlighting its use case as a regulatory compliant way to use digital assets to send payments from one part of the world to another.
xRapid software eliminates the need for a pre-funded Nostro account when executing a cross-border payment. It sources liquidity from Ripple XRP on exchanges around the crypto world. As a result, cross-border payment transaction occurs in minutes and at a lower cost compared to traditional payment methods, which take days and incur high foreign exchange fees.

endPersonalized Disney Cruise themed merchandise set sail recently aboard the Disney Dream. Thanks Chris Griffith and FLfreak, we have some pictures of the personalization station set up in the side room of the Vista Gallery on Deck 4 Midship. The space is best described as a pop up store in that the it looks temporary.
This new line of customizable merchandise was created specifically for the Disney Dream. Guest can personalize a number of items from stateroom door magnets, t-shirts, holiday ornaments and smartphone cases.
The personalization station tablets remind me of the kiosks at D-Tech on demand at Walt Disney World. I was told the process is slow, but you can wait and watch your creation come to life, or stop back later to pick up the finished item.
This is not Disney Cruise Line’s first foray into personalized merchandise. Every so often they have tested personalized phone cases, but to date nothing has become a permanent offering. Given the temporary look of the setup, only time will tell how long DCL personalized merchandise will be available. This shop appeared just after the addition of the Disney Dream’s Tiffany & Co. Pop-up Store.
What you think about this line of personalized merchandise available on the Disney Dream?

 Question 1
A circuit and the characteristics of the diode (D) in it are shown. The ratio of the minimum to the maximum small signal voltage gain $\frac{\partial V_{out}}{\partial V_{in}}$ is ________ (rounded off to two decimal places)

 A 0.25 B 0.55 C 0.75 D 0.95
GATE EC 2022   Analog Circuits
Question 1 Explanation:
Replacing the given circuit with small signal equivalent.

Case-I when diode is ON
As $r_d(ON)=0,$ the $2k\Omega$ resistor in parallel to the diode becomes open circuit.
$\therefore \; V_{out}=V_{IN}\times \frac{2}{4}=\frac{V_{in}}{2}$
$\therefore \; \frac{\partial V_{out}}{\partial V_{in}}|_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\;\;\;...(i)$
Case-I: When diode is off:
$r_d(off)=\infty \Rightarrow total \; R_{eq}=2+2+2=6k\Omega$
$\therefore \; V_{out}=\frac{V_{in} \times 4}{6}=\frac{2}{3}
