Jacob Zuma loses appeal in corruption trial
A court in South Africa has rejected an appeal by ex-president Jacob Zuma over his corruption trial.
In a brief verdict on Friday, the High Court of Pietermaritzburg ruled Zuma’s appeal inadmissable.
The court also rejected the request for appeal filed by the French defense and electronics group, Thales in the same case.
Zuma, who ruled South Africa between 2009 and 2018, is accused of receiving nearly 245,000 euros as kick-back for a huge arms contract worth 3 billion euros in 1999. He was then vice president.
Zuma and Thales have repeatedly denied the allegations. Zuma and Thales still have the possibility to appeal to the Supreme Court and the Constitutional court, according to a legal expert who spoke to AFP.
As at the time of filing this report, their lawyers have not announced any decision.

Toolkit to produce and manipulate various types of control flow
graphs. While the CFG classes do not impose restrictions on the types
of graph nodes, the nodes are typically instances of {@link Unit}
or {@link Block}. The latter corresponds to basic blocks of
Unit
s. Some of the CFG classes include the control
flow corresponding to thrown exceptions, while others
abstract away exception-related edges.

The eq
method implements an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation] on
non-null instances of AnyRef
:
* It is reflexive: for any non-null instance x
of type AnyRef
, x.eq(x)
returns true
.
* It is symmetric: for any non-null instances x
and y
of type AnyRef
, x.eq(y)
returns true

, and z
of type AnyRef
if x.eq(y)
returns true
and y.eq(z)
returns true
, then x.eq(z)
returns true
.
Additionally, the eq
method has three other properties.
* It is consistent: for any non-null instances x

When overriding the equals
or hashCode
methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is
consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2
), they
should be equal to each other (o1 == o2
) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode

South Africa’s ‘KFC couple’ will get married on New Year’s Eve
by Shereesa MoodleySouth Africans are once again fawning over the couple that got engaged at a KFC a few weeks ago after the pair announced their second wedding date.
Fondly known as “The National Couple”, Hector Mkansi and Nonhlanhla Soldaat first made headlines when KFC tweeted a video of the former getting down on one knee at a branch.
“Mzansi please help us find this beautiful couple,” the company tweeted in hopes of getting in touch with “a finger-lickin’ Good surprise”.
Since finding the lovebirds, who have already tied the knot, KFC and many other South African brands pledged to give the pair their dream wedding with everything from cows, to beer, investment accounts and even a wedding planner.
After news of the official wedding date got out, South Africa couldn’t resist expressing their excitement for the #KFCcouple’s special day.
As for that special date? The couple will get married this New Year’s Eve.

They are a 4-piece band from Cochin with hand pan, Oudh, percussion and vocals. This newly formed band is doing their debut performances at BIG 19.
Daniel Waples is one of the world’s best-known handpan (hang drum) players having played in over 50 countries and amassing over 40 million views on YouTube. Daniel supports himself as an independent musician playing the handpan, an instrument associated with energy work and alternative healing. Flávio Emanuel Lopes, who is a violinist from Catalonia, join him in a duo act at BIG 19.
What would happen if you put 4 friends, with varied musical backgrounds and tastes, in a room with all their instruments? The Derelicts is the result of such a crazy experiment. Their sound can be described as funky and alternative with a tinge of 80s synth/dream pop. All they strive to achieve is have fun and share our joy with the masses by making em groove. The Derelicts play a unique blend of 80s inspired disco with modern pop, alternative & rock.
The F16s are an alternative band hailing from the port city of Chennai, India. Their music, echoes the melancholia that grapples with the mundanity of everyday life in a town that serves very little outside of itself. Lyrically driven, the 'sound' of the band rests in an arc that also includes acts like LCD Soundsystem, Julian Casablancas and the Voidz and The Horrors; beat-driven yet innately melodic.
Mushroom Lake is a psychedelic/post-rock/shoe-gaze band from India, formed in early 2011. The band was founded by Raju K P (guitars), Jitin David (guitars), Vijay Gopal (Keys/Bass), and Midhun Nishol(Drums). The band released their debut live album in the year 2014 which was received well by both local and international listeners. Mushroom Lake compose instrumental music with a heavy leaning towards post- rock mixed in a potion made of influences from psychedelic, alternative and other experimental genres.
Fast forward to 2019, and the band has taken their music to several music festivals and headlined college festivals alike. Having taken their time to perfect the sound in their heads, Space is now all set to pioneer a new genre of music with their debut album 'Thank You, Universe.'
Played by one man altogether, aimed to get everybody move and dance with joy and happiness. Yogev Haruvi takes the crowd from wherever they are, on a journey to another space and time where everybody freaks out from the vibration of the didgeridoo and the spiritual power of the drums in one big unity and harmony. He is a a multi-instrumentalist from Israel.

I woke about 6:30 AM worried about Randy’s job. I made some plans and later called Randy to have him try to siphon the water out of the tank down to the outlet pipe that we installed. We listened to the Spoken Word before the General Conference broadcast. Just as conference started Brother and Sister Fallis came over to watch it with us. It was a very enjoyable session. Between sessions the Fallis’s went home and then returned to eat dinner with us. I took time to take a short nap before dinner. Mae kept busy fixing lunch of taco salad and got a roast on for this evening when Scott, Mishelle, Kylan and Ashley will come over. We again enjoyed having the Fallis’s watch the last session of conference. It has been a powerful and inspiring conference. Scott and his family came over and we ate dinner. Scott and I drove down to Randy’s to get some things out of my truck. When we got back we set up the computer and the projector and watched the DVD that Scott and Mishelle had made of the Holms Creek Stake’s youth handcart trip. It was very well done and something that Scott and Mishelle can be proud of their work. Mark and Bob came down to watch it also. Just as I was putting the projector and computer away Jeff and Gale came. We decided that it was to late to set it up again this evening. Mae got most things packed so we can leave tomorrow to go back to Wyoming to Randy and Judy’s cabin to finish that job. Craig and Carla called and want me to reconsider helping them. I guess I will put the heat system in with Craig and his son’s help. I called Rich and told him that I will try to get back up there Wednesday or Thursday.
Monday, October 02, 2006
We got up early and was at Home Depot at 7 AM. I got some things I will need to seal the water storage tank and some more building materials. We got to Manor Lands at 8:15 AM but did not have the key. Judy is going to have a key for us before 10 but we are early. A family was leaving so they let us through. I worked all day on the project but it is going slow. When I started to change the water plumbing I couldn’t get the copper joints to separate, I had to cut them. I will need more materials so Randy and I went into Evanston thinking that we could get them at Wal-Mart but they didn’t have them. Everything else was closed so we stopped and got some frozen yogurt before we returned. It left us without running water for the night. We also added some more to the project which will make it better for Randy. We watched a DVD before going to bed.
Tuesday, October 03, 2006
I tried to solder the copper pipes but it just wouldn’t get hot enough for the solder to run. I tried to call Durk’s to find out the problem but we couldn’t get the phone to ring through. Randy and Judy went into Evanston and got me a propane torch and when they got back I tried again and it worked much better. I then made some changes to the hot water heater and ran int trouble with that. For a while I was afraid that I would have to buy a new hot water heater. Mae asked me how it was going and I told her I needed her help by praying that I could save the hot water heater. She did and I did save it. I was very tired when I got water back into the cabin and the water heater working. I took a shower and then we played a game of
Shanghai Rummy. Judy ended up the winner. It was late when we went to bed.
Wednesday, October 04, 2006
We got up about 6 AM. My back was really tight this morning so after doing stretch exercises Mae rubbed me for a while. Randy then came over and rubbed me and my back relieved almost immediately. Mae and Judy went home this morning. Randy stayed to keep me company. I worked all day building the pump house and hooking up the plumbing. It was 3 PM when I stopped for lunch and almost 8 PM when I quite for dinner. I am concerned about the pump and pressure tank as we are missing some parts for it. I guess we will go into town first thing tomorrow. I played a few games on the computer before I went to bed.
Thursday, October 05, 2006
I woke at 6 AM, after fixing breakfast, I checked out the materials we needed. Randy and I went into Evanston and got some materials. During the night, last night, I thought about the door and suggested to Randy that we get a door made for the pump house so that it sealed good. He agreed so I will have to check that out when we get home. We didn’t get back from town until after 10 AM. I worked until 2:30 PM assembling plumbing and soldering. Just as I finished the main pipes I ran out of gas on the torch. I framed a section of the walls but it got to dark to keep going. We came in and I heated the soup that Mae and Judy left for us. After eating I took a shower and then filled in my journal. After writing my journal entry I again played some games on the computer so my dinner would settle. Judy and Randy were able to make connections on the phone so I had Randy ask Judy to call Mae and let her know that we will still be here tomorrow.
Friday, October 06, 2006
I was up at 6 AM and started work at 8 AM. Randy put some fill in and got the tank completely covered. I finished the plumbing, ran the electrical, tested the pump (which we have a problem that I will have to ask Steve Regan’s about), finished the insulation, finished putting the ice & snow shield around the pump house and completed the sheeting. By the time we cleaned up and tried the trailer light (which are not working, so we will have to wait until daylight to go home), it was after 8 PM before we came in and I fixed some dinner. Randy’s son and his father-in-law came up to stay the weekend while they go elk hunting. Visiting with them and entering my journal, it was 10:30 PM before I went to bed.
Judy called and told Randy that Richard Barney had had a heart attack and was in the hospital.
Saturday, October 07, 2006
Randy and I left about 7:15 AM to come home. We had to stop in Evanston for fuel. It rained most of the way home. It was 9 AM when we got to Randy’s. I had forgot that I had my truck at Randy’s so I had Randy call Mae when we got to the mouth of Weber Canon. When we got to Randy’s Judy told me that Mae had gone to a Genealogy class so I didn’t hurry home. When I got there Mae had stayed home because I was coming home. She is sure special. Mae informed me that she had got a e-mail from Joan and Ralf that told us that Ron Bradfield had fallen from a ladder, landing on his head and was in the hospital not expected to live. Mae went to Sarah Porter’s baby shower with Sandy and Georgia. While she was gone I lay down and took a nap. This afternoon we watched a movie on TV. At 5 PM we went over to Ogden to eat at the Chuck-O-Rama. Mae called Pat as we drove to Ogden. While she was talking to her their daughter Connie arrived so Mae let pat go. After eating we came back home and watched another show.
Sunday, October 08, 2006
We slept in this morning. RaNae Barney called Mae this morning about 8 AM to let us know that Richard died during the night. Gary Nelson called about 9 AM to tell us that Ron had died just a few minutes after his daughter arrived last night. We attended church meetings. Mae was asked if either she or I would help with the Nursery today. Mae said she would, for she know that I wouldn’t be excited to do it. Meetings went well. Bob and Carroll invited us for dinner after church. Bob cooked a nice pork roast with the trimmings, very good. We worked on our journals and then went over to visit RaNae. We were there about an hour. We got the viewing times and the funeral time. We stopped at Irven’s and Sandy’s to see them. Mark and a girl friend, Angelina, were there. We visited for a while and then played a game of aggregation. Mae called Pat and got the times for Ron’s viewing and funeral services. On the way home Mae called Dennis and Eleanor to let them know about Ron’s passing. She also called Gary Nelson and tried to reach Joann and Ralph Peterson but just left a message there. This should prove to be an interesting week to see how the schedule turns out.

We got up around 6 AM. We cleaned Mike’s rubber raft as we hadn’t done it since we used it at Pason Lake. It took quite a lot of scrubbing to get it clean. I assembled the distiller and turned it on and it seemed to be working ok but then it shut it self off. I tried a couple of things but it didn’t help. After lunch I went down to BMC West and ordered a door for Randy’s pump house. I also stopped at Durk’s plumbing and got an inline check valve to stop the back flow of water after the pump turns off. This should solve the pump problem at Randy’s cabin. I rolled up the boat and with some difficulty packed it into the caring bag. Mae made several calls in connection with the funerals. She also was on the internet for a while. Bryce sent a letter expressing their sorrow at the passing of Richard. They asked us to give RaNae a love from them. We also received an e-mail from Anna Liza Buccay from Guimba 1st Branch. They have a baby boy that is eight months old. It was good to hear from them. This evening we did some studying of the CD that Mae received for the conference she attended last Friday. I called Steve Jones (the salesman who I bought the distiller from) and told him the problems I was having. He told me how to adjust the water level. I did so and the distiller seems to be working ok now. It was after 10:30 PM when we filled out our
journals and went to bed.
Tuesday, October 10, 2006
I realized this morning that some how I had offended Mae. It was the way I had commented about dinner being late last night. Sometimes I say things with out realizing that I sound upset or criticizing but it show’s up in Mae’s eyes and actions. I really wish she wasn’t so sensitive or I wasn’t so strong in my speech. I apologized to her and we talked about it and things are better now. After breakfast I went over to Scott’s and got some mail that is still coming to their place. The main one that I have tried to get a change of address on several time before, is my Home Depot Account. After getting the statement from Mishelle, I went across the street and returned a concrete marker to Kip and of course we visited for a while. I stopped at Home Depot and went to the contractor’s desk and we think we were able to get the address corrected on my statement this time. I paid the balance off but I was surprised at the balance total. I stopped at Durk’s to get some help with Carla and Craig’s job but Jarred was off today. I will have to return tomorrow. When I got home I did some work on our bank statement from last months. We had an error in our previous months ending balance and this statements beginning balance of $500. Some where that error must have occurred when we changed the book keeping over from my lap top computer to Mae’s desk top computer. I just let the computer enter an adjusting transaction and will not spend more time searching. We attended session in the Ogden Temple this afternoon. We enjoyed the session but I didn’t feel any inspiration as to some of the decisions we are concerned about. It sure wasn’t like the time I soughed for decision about building our home in Wyoming and taking care of my mother. After returning home I started balancing this month’s bank statement. I broke off to attend a High Priest Group Leadership meeting. After returning I continued with the statement. It was 11:30 PM when I completed the statement and we went to bed. My stomach was upset so I went to sleep in the recliner.

I woke at 3 AM and went into the bed for the rest of the night. The alarm went off at 6:30 AM but it was almost 7 AM before I got up. Mae had got all our things packed last night that we need to take with us today. We ate some breakfast and I loaded the car. It was 8 AM before we got away. I stopped at Durk’s for a while and worked with Jarred on the plans. They need more work on them. We drove to Provo where we attended the viewing and funeral services for Ronald Ray Bradfield. Each of Pat and Ron’s children talked and Connie sang. They did a very good job and it was a special service in honor of Ron. Joan & Ralf, Dennis & Eleanor and Gary were also there. Pat had requested that I dedicate the grave. We all went back to the church house for a lunch before Mae and I came back to Mike & Becky’s to tend the children while Mike & Becky went up to Park City. We spent the evening with the children and stayed the night. After putting the little girls to bed we played “Knox” with Tayler and David. It was after 10 PM when we went to bed.
Thursday, October 12, 2006
We got up and fixed breakfast and as quick as we could we left for home. David called just as we were leaving and asked if they could borrow the tent trailer. Of course we said they could and I explained some of the fetchers to him. When we got home I had (Mike’s) David help me and we pulled the tent trailer up to the driveway. We got the children settled at our home and then Mae and I went to the viewing and funeral services for Richard Barney. The services were good but it went a little long. When we got home David was just hooking up the tent trailer. His trailer hookup is backward to mine so I showed him how to make an adapter for it. Mae fixed lunch for us so we ate and then took the children to S.L. where we went to the children’s museum. Mae and the three girls had fun but for David and I it was a bore. David and I walked around and bought some frozen yogurt. We left the Gateway Mall about 6 PM. We stopped a drive-in and bought super. We came on to Mike and Becky’s home and got the two little girls to bed. David, Tayler, Mae and I played some cards for a while. David called three or four times from Moab and had some questions about setting up the trailer. Thank goodness for cel phones. I think I got them talked through the set up. It was after 10:30 PM when we got to bed.
Friday, October 13, 2006
We started getting the family up about 8 AM, in fact it was Mattie that was up first. She went to sleep last night in the car and we just put her in her bed. I went down to The Home Depot and got some toggle bolts and came back and repaired a shelf in Mike & Becky’s closet. Mae mixed up some pan cakes and David & I cooked some eggs. After cleaning up from breakfast we got things packed in the cars and drove up to Park City where Mike and Becky are staying. Sandy, Nick and Troy are also up there. After taking the children to Becky, Mae and I drove back to Salt Lake and went up to Snowbird resort. We met Joann and Ralf Peterson at their time share lodge and stayed with them there. Gary Peterson was already there. We visited for a while and then took a ride on the tram to the top of the mountain. As we were coming down Dennis and Eleanor called us and said they were at the condo. We had left a key card there for them so they could get in. this evening we ate and visited and played a game of 99. It was a fun evening and a good time to get together. It was almost mid-night when we went to bed.
Saturday, October 14, 2006
It was almost 8 AM when we got up. We ate sweet rolls, juice & leftovers and got things packed. By 10 AM we were out of the condo and ready to come home. Mae and I stopped in Bountiful and bought the 8th volume Prelude to Glory as we are just about finished with volume 7. We took a nap after getting unpacked. I did some work on my journal. David and his family came to return the tent trailer. We had just eaten and so had leftovers and invited them to stay and eat. We visited for a while before they went home. This evening Mae and I went up stairs and played Canasta with Bob and Carroll. Mae and Carroll won the game. I finished catching up my journal and got on the internet to check out the weather.
Sunday, October 15, 2006
I got up at 5 AM to get ready for Stake General Priesthood meeting. The meeting went well. I went with Bob and Mark. When we got home Mark asked me a question and we stood and visited a few minutes. Mae had breakfast about ready when I came down and Bob had breakfast of biscuits and gravy about ready. We brought the fish up and put the two breakfasts together and ate with Bob, Carroll and Mark. I attended Priesthood but planned on coming home and taking a nap during Sunday school but Irven and Sandy came over to attend meetings with us so I stayed. I sure had trouble staying awake both in S.S. and in Sacrament meeting. I didn’t get much out of either. Bob fixed dinner for us and after dinner we went over to Scott & Mishelle’s for dinner this evening. We left at 6:30 PM for Pocatello. We got there at 8:30 PM and it was 10 PM before we got to bed.
Monday, October 16, 2006
I got up at 6 AM and after breakfast Rich and I started on the stairs and railing. We stopped for lunch and for dinner and then quite for the night at 7:30 PM. Jeff, Joyce and some of their family came over this evening. Rich also invited Radlif’s to eat dinner with us. We played a game of “Mormon Bridge” this evening. I got ready for bed at 9:30 PM.
Tuesday, October 17, 2006
This morning I again completed the reading of the Book of Mormon. As I completed the reading of Moroni the feelings of testimony again came to me that with out question I know this book to be true. I know that it came forth as was said through the gift and power of God. I know that Joseph Smith was the one chosen and given power to bring this translation forth from the records given him by Moroni. I have no dought of the account as it is given by Joseph Smith and recorded in history. My mind cannot conceive of any other purpose or account of the creation of this earth than the purposes as described in this book. I know that there is a God in Heaven, who though His Son, Jesus Christ, created this earth and all other creations with the purposes found in this Book and the other scriptures that have been given to man to give him guidance and direction to life. With all my heart and mind I know that we have the Priesthood of God on the earth and that the Keys to that Priesthood are held by our Prophet, Sear and Revelator President Gordon B. Hinckley.
Rich and I started on the railing by 8 AM. It was cold this morning and through out the day but it did not rain. We got quite a lot done. I had Mae help with some minor jobs but it saved us time. She cut spindles for us and then drilled holes in some of the railing brackets. We ran out of screws to assemble the railings. At first I questioned why we should be short of screws but then I remembered that I figured that we were going to put the spindles on 6 inch centers. However Rich and Lois changed their minds when Rex’s grandson got his head caught in Rex’s stair railing. The change doubled the number of screws we needed. I had Mae and Lois go to town for screws and some other material I needed as well as to return some unneeded material. I realized that we are also short of railing materials. These things have to be ordered so we will not be able to complete the job until these materials come in next week. It was almost 6 PM when we quit for the day. After dinner we watched a film about back pain. Mae watched the film but I fell asleep. I took a shower this evening before going to bed. Mae got visiting with Lois and Elise so I think I will go to bed with out her.
Wednesday, October 18, 2006
After breakfast Rich and I started in on the railing. We got three sections done and then put finish trim on the stair way. With the help of Rich and Mae I put all my tools into the trailer. Mae and I left at 11:30 AM, bringing the trailer with us and came home. Bob had called and said that the plain Roy and Linda are on will be late. Rich and Lois drove down to be with us to eat and visit with Roy and Linda. Mae and I went to the airport and picked up Roy and Linda. Rich, Lois, Bob, Carroll, Irven, Sandy, Roy, Linda, Mae and I were all together. We ate at the Chuck-A-Rama in Bountiful. We did take some pictures of all of us. It is not every day we are all together as a family. We took Roy and Linda to Linda’s brother’s new home in west Kaysville. After a while Mae and I came home. We will pickup Roy and Linda in the morning and take them back to the airport in the morning. We were sure tired tonight.
Thursday, October 19, 2006
We got up at 5:45 AM and hurried to get to Mike Mayhue’s where we were to meet Roy and Linda. They were about 45 minutes late and though we hurried they did not make their airplane. We waited at the airport with instructions that they should call us if they missed the flight. They didn’t call by 8:30 AM so we left the airport. We were at the North end of 215 when they called. They told us that they were ok as they were rescheduled for 11 AM and were given $400 each for the inconvenience. They will also arrive at Fresno two hours earlier that the other flight. That all sounds ok to me. When we got to Layton we stopped at Dr. Bennett’s and Mae got a treatment. I took a nap in the car. We then went out to eat at the Stare Café. Before going home we stopped at the grocery store for some groceries. Mae went Visiting Teaching and I took a 45 minute nap. I went into Ogden to Roofer’s Supply and got materials for Sandi’s and Randy’s jobs. When I got home I arranged Home Teaching appointments for Sunday afternoon, Mae took out the flowers from the planter boxes. After eating dinner we watched a TV show. We worked on our journals before going to bed.
Friday, October 20, 2006
We got up at 6 AM and got ready to go out to Grantsville to re-roof the carport on the South end of Sandi’s duplex. It was 10 AM when we got there. Nick had taken off the day to help me. I sent Nick to town to get some material while I took off the old roofing. Logan also came over from school to help as he had a couple of classes off today. We put a slop to the roof so the water would not set on it. We laid Ice & Snow shield over the new underlayment. It was cold all day and looked like storm this evening. I was concerned that the wing might blow the Ice & Snow layer off so we tried to heat it with my torch. It worked some but was very slow. Nick had to go to a football game so Steve came out and helped me. Sandi’s tenant bought us a week burning torch to use and that worked much better. We were able to get the roof completely dried in before we quite this evening. Sandy didn’t feel well so we stayed home from the football game and watched a movie called “The Last of the Dog Soldiers”. It was a good story but the language was a little ruff.
Saturday, October 21, 2006
We got up and after eating breakfast Sandi, Nick, Mae and I went over to Chelci’s and saw their new home. It is a nice home and the are decorating it very nice. Chelci then joined us and we went over to Brad and JaNae’s home. It is very nice and Brad has really worked at building a very nice home. I do get a little concerned as to whether or not the Lord is pleased with these large homes. After taking Chelci home we went to a Maverick and bought a frozen yogurt before going on home. It has been warn with the sun shining so with the sun on the South the Ice & Snow really warmed up and sealed it self to the underlayment. I mopped on a “Top Coat Surface Sealant SB” to finish the roof. Nick and Logan cleaned up the mess and hauled the trash away. We picked up all my tools and Mae & I came on home. I took a little extra material back to Home Depot for refund. Mae had dinner ready so we ate. I figured Sandi’s bill and caught my journal up. Mae worked on her journal for a while. We went upstairs and played Canasta with Bob and Carroll. Bob and I won tonight. When we got downstairs we took our showers so it was almost mid-night when we went to bed.
Sunday, October 22, 2006
I got up at 7:30 but Mae didn’t get up until 8:30. Bob came down about that time and said he would have breakfast of biscuits and gravy. We sure enjoyed that and had just started getting ready for church when the phone rang and I was asked if Mae and I would teach the Sunbeams today. I said yes and they told me that they would run a manual over to us. We had to hurry to prepare a lesson and get to church. It went well with the two of working together. I had trouble staying awake in Sacrament meeting. Mae had to keep hold of me to stop me from falling off the bench. Bob invited us to eat dinner with them. Irven and Sandy also ate with us. I took a nap after dinner. Bob and I went Home Teaching. We visited with Brother and Sister Fallis, Patriarch and Sister Johnston. We then had a new family assigned so we found their home. When the husband answered the door he preferred that we not come. I ask if we could just stop to see if they were all ok and would not ask any more. He agreed to that arrangement. Mae has been working on her journal while I was gone. I filled in my journal and we got ready for bed.
Monday, October 23, 2006
We got up at 4:30 with the goal to be on the road by 7 AM. We didn’t make it until 7:30 and then stopped to get natural gas. It was 9 AM when we got to Pocatello. Rich and I went into town to get the materials we had ordered. The two post caps were not on the order. They will have to yet order them but they aren’t critical. We got a jig built to assemble the railing for the main stairs but we needed longer screws so we went into Lowe’s this evening to get them. We stopped at Jeff and Joyce’s as Jeff is sick again. Janet came out this evening so after Rich and I returned we played a game of Mormon Bridge. Before going to bed we watched a DVD put out by the Constitutional Party on the issues that are facing our nation. It does not look very good. It was 10:30 before we got to bed.
Tuesday, October 24, 2006
Rich and I worked all day building and installing the four sections of the main stair railings. It was dark when we came in for super. We did walk over and look at Ratlif’s house. It certainly isn’t worth the $129,000 he is asking for it. We just looked at it and could see several cheap things in the construction. I am glad that we looked at so I have no questions as to weather or not we should have considered it to purchase. I took a shower after we ate super. We then played a game of Mormon Bridge and two hands of Knock. I loaded the software for Lois’s new printer onto my computer so I could print a copy of Elise’s balance report. I think that was a mistake as it took a long time and quite a bit of memory. It was 11 PM before I got to bed.
Wednesday, October 25, 2006
After breakfast Rich and I again started work on the railing. It was about 1 PM when we completed the job and started cleaning up. Mae packed the things that were in the house and brought them out to me. it was after 2 PM when we started home. It started snowing just a few minutes before we finished the railing so the worked out ok for us. When we got home we unpacked and I took all my tools out to the trailer and put them away. We took showers and at 6 PM went over to Charles and Carolyn Saunders for dinner and to play games. Carolyn had made Lazona and Mae brought a toss salad. After eating we played a fun card game. We came home shortly after 9 PM. Mae and Lois had gone to town to a grand opening sale for Albertson’s in Pocatello. Mae had bought some roast and chicken so we sealed most of it in the seal-a-meal bags. We filled in journals before going to bed.
Thursday, October 26, 2006
I got up about 7 AM and read my scriptures. I went back to bed and we turned the TV on and watched Little House on the Prairie and cuddled. I cooked egg omelets in a bag for breakfast. It has been a lazy morning. I helped Mark chop the corn stocks to be tilled into the garden area. I repaired the tires on the scooter and road it a while. Mae got on the computer and checked the E-mails for we have several. She answered many of them. I went to town, filed the truck with gas, bought a switch for Randy’s cabin and some filters for the car and truck. I serviced the car and then loaded some items that I need to return to Bryce’s place. This evening after eating dinner we watched a movie on TV. I then filled in this journal and we went to bed and watched a DVD that Roy and Linda brought us. Well I have to change that entry as our DVD player won’t read the DVD’s. we ended up watching “Night Ride Home” which was pretty good but it sure made you grateful that we have the Gospel of Jesus Christ to give us an understanding of the purpose of life. It was mid-night when we went to sleep.
Friday, October 27, 2006
I got up at 7 AM for the bathroom and read my scriptures. I am reading the D&C and I can’t help marvel at the consistence of the scriptures and the teachings and function of the Church. To me common sense gives reason to know that the Church is true and complete. Why my boys can’t see that is a mystery to me. Mae got up at 8 AM and we took showers. Bob came down before we finished invited us to breakfast of waffles. Breakfast was delicious. It was 10 AM when we came downstairs. Mae went to Dr. Bennett’s, walking and did some shopping. I took a nap and then got on the computers and played around, backing up my palm and playing games. After several games of Solitaire I won one. I worked quite a while on Mae’s history and found a second history almost the same. I was unable to decide which history Mae wanted so I had to wait for her to review them. Mae got on the two computers to compare the files. I returned several items to Bryce’s home. Bob and I then cut up some of the trees in the back yard. We worked until we were tired. I worked on Mae’s files for a while. We went upstairs and played Canasta with Bob and Carroll. Mae and Carroll won again tonight. I finished transferring Mae’s history to her computer and then filled out my journal for today.
Saturday, October 28, 2006
I got up at 7 AM but it was almost 8 AM when Mae came in. After breakfast Bob and I went out back and cut up more of the trees we had cut down earlier this summer. Mae went shopping with Tina Linderman to get material so that Tina can fix Mae’s new dress. They also went out to dinner. I had planed on watching the BYU football game but Scott called and ask for my help to run wires for a surround sound system. Mark came down and asks to use some of our books and asked about the sealing power. We visited for an hour before I went over to Scott’s. I had to leave Scott’s at 3 PM as I had an appointment to visit with Durk about Carla and Craig’s heat system. I need to do much more figuring on it. We went up to David and Shauna’s for dinner and to be with Tyler on his Birthday. It was 11 PM before we got home. We then filled in our journals before going to bed.
Sunday, October 29, 2006
I woke during the early morning hours and couldn’t go back to sleep so got up and lay in the recliner. I slept fairly well but thought of Craig and Carla’s job. with the change off of day light saving time we got an extra hour this morning. After breakfast I got a short nap. We got a new Bishopric to day. Brother Steve Smith was called to be Bishop. He chose Brother Mark McPhie and Brother Thurman as counselors. We don’t know Brother Thurman as he has been a clerk in the Singles Ward. After meeting we went down to the LDS Hospital in SL and saw Sister Robin Walker. She was involved in a auto accident last Tuesday and will be recovering for some time. This evening we went to Jeff and Gail’s for dinner and played games after. It was 10:30 PM when we got home. I made a call to Craig and Carla and to Randy after getting home. Well I am tired so will call this good for tonight.
Monday, October 30, 2006
We got up early and was down to Randy’s shortly after 8 AM. It was almost 11 am when we got to the cabin. I started right to work and found that the door was wrong, it was 79” over all and I needed 76”. We decided to do all other items and then take the door back tomorrow. I worked until 6 PM when I stopped for dinner and went right back to work. I finished and loaded every thing up. We left for home at 9:17 PM and got home at 11:15 PM. I was so tired that I went right to bed and fell asleep almost as soon as my head rested on the pillow.
Tuesday, October 31, 2006
We slept in and when we did wake up we stayed in bed longer. I tried to get reservations at Strawberry Reservoir lodge for Friday night but they are closed for the season. I was able to get reservation at Daniel’s Summit. I had several things to go to town after so this afternoon was spent chasing. Mae also did some chasing this afternoon. This evening Mae went over to Jeff and Gail’s and spent the evening with them. I went to help Scott run the wires to his speaker but a lot of his time was spent in answering the door for Trick-or-Treaters. I got home before Mae and took a shower to clean the saw dust and insulation off. When Mae got home we tried to clean the DVD player but it still doesn’t work. We started to watch Perry Mason but both of us fell asleep. We didn’t get any Trick-or-Treaters at our place as we are in back. Even Bob & Carroll only get a few as most of the children stay in the sub-divisions where there are more homes.


This is a private web I used to memorize English vocabulary, now open to public. Still in development and in beta version.
Words are from 《要你命三千》 and important words I met during my revison of GRE.
The basic ideology of this tool is dividing words in group. Original words are all in group 2, click the english word, then its Chinese meaning appears. When you have recognized a word, you can click "up" button, then it is labeled as group 3. When you review words again, you can only select group 3 words and decide whether to revert the word to group 2 in order to recite again, or continue to level it up to group 4.
Each word can be attributed as "IMP","MFL" or "INV" labels, which I use to label important, meaningful and inveterately-hard-to-memorize words.
A clear and simplified Chinese meaning to each word is very important when choosing a good vocabulary book. I think few of the existing books can do that well, even《要你命三千》. A comprehensive but similar Chinese meanings are quite redundant so that not suitable for Chinese students to memorize. In this wordlist, Chinese meaning of each word is carefully revised and similar meanings are combined, leaving only really representative and important meanings worth memorizing. You can also update your meaning through Update dialog box (press 'w' in keyboard)
Link to: Wordlist Database(in xlsx)
My original purpose of avoiding vocabulary books when learning vocabulary is for the convenience to shuffle. Click "Random" button ("q" in keyboard), the order of the list is changed, so that location of words is not fixed on page.
As you can see from my personal profile, I got V160+Q170 in recent GRE test. I must acknowledge that vocabulary is an important factor, but not the whole of GRE test. One thing is clear -- without accumulating enough vocabulary, it is hard to expect a high score and it may be an obstacle in graduate study even if you luckily pass through GRE test.
Thanks for dict.cn providing sound data and reference in this web.
Hope you get satisfactory result from GRE test!

Demo
The histogram demo on the following page displays a single band gray
level image, a small inset navigator window which allows the image to
be panned, a display of the color map, and a control panel containing
buttons to perform histogram related operations on the displayed image.

JAI
The primary tasks needed to obtain a histogram are as follows:
1. Create a Histogram object, which specifies the type of histogram to be generated. 2. Create a Histogram operation with the required parameters or create a ParameterBlock with the parameters and pass it to the Histogram operation. 3. Read the histogram data stored in the object.
Theory
A histogram provides a view of the intensity profile of an
image and is often displayed as a bar chart. Pixel values are
partitioned and counted with the population of each partition value placed
in its own bin. The pixel intensities are plotted along the horizontal x-axis
while the number of occurrences for each intensity are plotted along
the vertical y-axis. Histograms can be viewed as probability density functions.
For a single band 8 bit image there are 256 possible intensity values. For example, the intensities range from 0 to 255, inclusively, for an unsigned byte image. Given a single band 8 bit image that is 128 by 128 with values all set to zero the resulting histogram would have a single spike at 0 with a bin count of 16384 and all other 255 bins having count 0. The sum of all bin counts in a histogram should match the number of collected samples.


Harvey Specter from Suits, in a three-button suit
Once upon a time, not too long ago, men were expected to wear three-button suits – it’s just how things were, and in fact, JFK was considered a “radical” for opting for two-buttons during his presidency. Even in recent memory, two-button and three-button jackets were seen at similar frequencies, and considered “equally appropriate” for occasions of the same formality. However, three-button suits are now hard to find. When I visited a Hickey Freeman store last summer, I was surprised to hear that the maker no longer carried ready-to-wear three-button models, and that the style was only available made-to-measure.
Why did this formerly revered style disappear? All other things equal, a two-button suit will probably “more forgiving,” flattering more body types than its three-button equivalent, as well as feeling “less restrictive” when buttoned up. Even so, I still have a soft spot for the three-button style – and not just because I’m a “snowflake millennial from California” who likes to be different. A three-button coat, worn correctly, can work wonders to make a man look taller and slimmer.
Courtesy of Pinterest
The biggest “mistake” that I see on three-button suit wearers is fastening the buttons improperly – and this is an easy fix. As a reminder, the “rule” for such a suit is “sometimes, always, never,” from the top button down. To this, I propose a revision that the top button on a three-button coat should be closed “almost never.” This way, your three-button jackets looks virtually identical to a two-button, thus getting all its benefits. In addition, the presence of a third button could help you look taller – thank physics for visual illusions!
What, then, is the problem with buttoning both top buttons? On most such jackets, fastening the top button will leave almost no “space” between the lapels to “display” the shirt and tie, making the entire top half of the ensemble seem out of proportion. The lapels themselves will probably seem too short and too wide, all contributing to make the wearer seem short and stout and “misshapen” as well (Michel Anton’s words, not mine).
In what cases, then, can you safely button the top two buttons? This “style” works best on tall, skinny folks – on whom the proportions of a closed three-button suit would seem more reasonable. A suit with a lower top button, thus leaving more room to display the tie, and with narrower lapels, as to better “scale” the rest of the ensemble, would also help make the “top two” buttoning style make sense. So, with that, go try on some three-button suits! If you could find one, that is.

Makefiles are lua scripts running a a special lua environment supplying usefull functions and informations.
Makefiles define the relationship between source files and generated files. Internally all informations for files are stored in so called nodes, defining the file name, a command to build the file, all kind of parameters needed to build the file and relations to files/nodes the node depends on.
The most native way to define a node is the rule
tool. To compile a c source to a executable using the
gnu compiler collection, you may define the following rule in your makefile.
-- example_01.mk
NODE = rule {"hello.exe",
src="hello.c",
action="gcc $SOURCES -o $OUTFILE"
}
default(NODE)
The rule() line creates 2 nodes, one node for the target file “hello.exe” and one node behind the scene for the source file “hello.c”.
To generate/compile the target file, the command line given in the "action"
parameter becomes executed.
As you can see, you can use a set of $-variables in the command line. In this example the $SOURCES variable becomes
substituted by “hello.c” and $OUTFILE by “hello.exe”. The gnu c compiler gcc
is hard coded in the commandline.
The default()
command defines the node, where to start calculating the build order.
In most cases it is needed to provide aditional parameters in the command line. For instance we want to
specify optimization options and more. It is usual to provide those compiler switches in a variable or
parameter named cflags
. Those cflags (and some other options) will substitute the $OPTIONS
command line variable.
-- example_02.mk
NODE = rule {"hello.exe",
src="hello.c",
cflags="-O2 -s",
action="gcc $OPTIONS $SOURCES -o $OUTFILE"
}
default(NODE)
The program to call can also be given by a prog
parameter. This parameter can be a string
containing any valid executable name or a node defined earlier.
-- example_03.mk
CFLAGS = "-O2 -s"
PROG = "gcc"
CMDLN = "$PROG $OPTIONS $SOURCES -o $OUTFILE"
--
NODE = rule {"hello.exe",
src="hello.c", cflags=CFLAGS, prog=PROG, action=CMDLN}
default(NODE)
Until now we used filenames without paths. But source files are not allway stored in one folder and generated files are usually not stored in the same folder as the sources. By default all file names are relative to the makefile location. In the previous examples the sources are located in the same folder as the makefile and the generated files went into this folder too.
In the next example we store the generated executable in a bin/
subfolder. To do so, we define
a parameter "odir"
. The odir parameter in the next example is a relative path and this means
this path is relative to the makefile location. It is possible to use absolute paths for "odir"
.
All directories needed will be created automatically.
-- example_04.mk
CFLAGS = "-O2 -s"
PROG = "gcc"
CMDLN = "$PROG $OPTIONS $SOURCES -o $OUTFILE"
--
NODE = rule {"hello.exe",
src="hello.c", odir="bin", cflags=CFLAGS, prog=PROG, action=CMDLN}
default(NODE)
Sources may be found in a different folder than the makefile. To avoid writing long paths for each sourcefile,
it is possible to define a "base"
parameter. This parameter defines a relative or absolute path where the
source files given in the src parameter are located.
Site note: When writing makefiles, use slashes in paths, even on Windows! Slashes will be automatically
converted to backslashes for Windows command lines.
-- example_05.mk
CFLAGS = "-O2 -s"
PROG = "gcc"
CMDLN = "$PROG $OPTIONS $SOURCES -o $OUTFILE"
--
NODE = rule {"hello.exe",
src="hello.c", odir="bin", base="src", cflags=CFLAGS, prog=PROG, action=CMDLN}
default(NODE)
In previous examples the c source was compiled directly to a executable. In large projects it is usual to
compile each source to a object file and finally link all object files to a executable or library.
The next example compiles the c source to a objectfile and stores the build rule for the object file in NODE_OBJ
.
NODE_OBJ
is a node and can’t be handed over to NODE_EXE
as a "src"
parameter. To define nodes as sources,
we use the "inputs"
parameter. Both "src"
and "inputs"
can be used at the same time and substitute the $SOURCES
command line variable.
-- example_06.mk
CFLAGS = "-O2 -s"
PROG = "gcc"
CMDCOMPILE = "$PROG -c $OPTIONS $SOURCES -o $OUTFILE"
CMDLINK = "$PROG $OPTIONS $SOURCES -o $OUTFILE"
--
NODE_OBJ = rule {"hello.o",
src="hello.c", odir="tmp", base="src", cflags=CFLAGS, prog=PROG, action=CMDCOMPILE}
NODE_EXE = rule {"hello.exe",
inputs=NODE_OBJ, odir="bin", cflags=CFLAGS, prog=PROG, action=CMDLINK}
default(NODE_EXE)
As you can imagine, writing makefiles for huge projects in this way results in much writing effort and is not comfortable.
The first one is the rule.define()
action[1]. This one creates a new action but a node[2].
The generated action includes all parameters given to rule.define()
as a set of predefined parameter values.
When using the generated action, the predefined parameters will be taken into account.
Some template parameters will be used if this parameter is ommittet. (base
, odir
, ext
, type
, prog
)
Some template parameters will be used in addition to the given parameters. (src
, defines
, cflags
, incdir
, libdir
, libs
, needs
, from
, deps
)
-- example_07.mk
compile = rule.define {odir="tmp", base="src", cflags="-O2", type="obj",
action="gcc -c $OPTIONS $SOURCES -o $OUTFILE"
}
link = rule.define {odir="bin", type="prog",
action="gcc $OPTIONS $SOURCES -o $OUTFILE"
}
NODE_OBJ = compile {"hello.o", src="hello.c"}
NODE_EXE = link {"hello.exe", inputs=NODE_OBJ}
rule.create()
and rule.define()
are very universal and usefull but somehow limited too: One call to rule.create() or calling a generated action generates one node for one file only. That is the point, where the .group()
action of the predefined tools comes handy. .group()
generates a list of nodes, including new generated nodes to compile each given source file to a object file.
The next example use the cc
tool’s .group()
and .program()
actions[1]. The cc
tool deals with standard c files.
The .group()
action creates a node that compiles all given c sources to object files. The file names for temporary
object files are generated automatically.
The .program()
action creates a node for a executable to build. It also store additional informations behind the scene,
for instance: The node builds a executable! (If no default target is defined, all executables and libraries defined
will be assumed to be the default targets.)
All cc
actions are os aware and choose file extensions as needed. Our next example will build a "hello.exe"
on
Windows and a "hello"
on *nix.
-- example_08.mk
NODE_OBJ = cc.group {src="hello", odir="tmp", base="src"}
NODE_EXE = cc.program {"hello", inputs=NODE_OBJ, odir="bin"}
default(NODE_EXE)
Off cause, with all the knowlege we have now, we can write this simple example shorter:
-- example_09.mk
cc.program {"hello", src="hello", base="src", odir="bin"}

The ION P2P Project aims to improve our understanding of Peer-to-Peer systems by answering two fundamental questions:
To answer these questions, we pursue the following goals: (i) develop and verify accurate measurements techniques, (ii) present empirical results which may be used to evaluate models and improve our understanding of existing systems, and (iii) suggest useful models based on the empirical observations.
Peer-to-peer systems are becoming increasingly popular, with millions of simultaneous users and covering a wide range of applications, from file-sharing programs like LimeWire and eMule to Internet telephony services such as Skype. Understanding existing systems and devising new P2P techniques relies on having access to representative models derived from empirical observations of existing systems. However, the large and dynamic nature of P2P systems makes capturing accurate measurements challenging.
While some prior studies have attempted to characterize different aspects of P2P systems, they have not taken the first step of critically examining their measurement tools (i.e., answering the first question), leading to conflicting results or conclusions based on measurement artifacts (e.g., power-law degree distributions may be the result of measurement error).
There are two basic approaches to collecting measurements from P2P systems, each with advantages and disadvantages. The first approach is to capture a global view by collecting data about every peer in the system. The advantage of this approach is that all the information is available. The typical problem with this approach is that the state changes while the measurement tool communicates with the peers, leading to a distorted view of the system. The longer the tool requires to capture the global view, the more distorted the data. Additionally, capturing a global view does not scale well. As P2P systems grow larger, capturing a global view becomes more time consuming, leading to greater distortion. To be at all practical, capturing a global view requires an exceptionally fast tool able to gather data from a large number of peers very quickly.
The second approach is to collect local samples. The advantage of this approach is that it scales well. The Law of Large Numbers from statistics tells us that the average from a large number of samples will closely approximate the true average, regardless of the population size. One disadvantage of sampling is that we cannot easily use samples to examine certain properties which are fundamentally global in nature. For example, we cannot compute the diameter of a graph based on local observations at several peers. More importantly, if the collected samples are biased in some way, the resulting data may lead us to incorrect conclusions. For this reason, capturing samples requires validation of the sampling tool, which must be carefully designed to avoid bias.
Systematically tackling the problem of characterizing P2P systems requires a structured organization of the different components. At the most basic level, a P2P system consists of a set of connected peers. We can view this as a graph with the peers as vertices and the connections as edges. One fundamental way we can divide the problem space is into properties of the peers versus properties of the way peers are connected. Another fundamental division is examining the way the system is versus the way the system evolves. The table below presents an overview of several interesting properties categorized by whether they are static or dynamic, and whether they are peer properties or connectivity properties.
| Peer Properties | Connectivity Properties | |
|---|---|---|
| Static Properties |

This package provides interfaces and classes dealing with events occurring during propagation. It is used when {@link org.orekit.propagation.events.EventDetector EventDetector} instances are registered to any {@link org.orekit.propagation.Propagator Propagator}. When the event associated with the detector occurs, the propagator interrupts the propagation and calls the {@link org.orekit.propagation.events.EventDetector#eventOccurred(SpacecraftState) eventOccurred} method of the event detector, which can do whatever the user want and either stop or resume propagation, optionally resetting the state.
If the registered events detectors are configured to stop propagation when triggered, the propagator can be run with an arbitrary large target date, relying on the events occurrence to stop propagation exactly at the right time.
The package provides some predefined events:
The low level interfaces and classes are heavily based on similar classes from the ode.events package from the commons math library. The changes are mainly adaptations of the signatures to space dynamics.

SERENDIPITY Rated PG-13, 85 minutes Directed by Peter Chelsom WHEN, WHERE Now playing at the UA De Vargas
Serendipity is a popular ice cream parlor on Manhattan's Upper East Side. It's a nice place to get a sweet syrupy confection, and so is the movie to which it lends its name, although the latter's labored contrivances come close to pushing it over the edge, or driving us over the edge, whichever comes first. What keeps the movie palatable is the irresistibility of its two leads, John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale, and the siren appeal of New York City at its most winsomely romantic, a city caught inside a sparkling snow globe.
Jonathan (Cusack) and Sara (Beckinsale, with her real accent) meet over a pair of cashmere gloves at Bloomingdale's in the Christmas rush. It's love at first sight -- but Sara is more of a believer in second sight, and other mystical phenomena. They spend a magical Manhattan evening together, eating ice cream, making witty small talk, riding the elevator at the Waldorf Astoria, ice skating in Central Park, and tracing on her freckles the heavenly outline of Cassiopeia, "who made one tragic mistake, and paid for eternity." But they both have romantic entanglements, and she won't give him her name or phone number. She does, however, write them in a copy of a novel which she sells to a used bookstore. She has him write his on a $5 bill, which she immediately spends. If fate brings these items back into their possession, they'll know they were meant to be together. (The novel is Love in the Time of Cholera, which is about as close as the movie comes to acknowledging that there may be a dark underbelly to this world.)
Time passes. You know time has passed, because you get clocks spinning their hands, sundials sweeping their shadows, and then, just in case you didn't get it, the words "A few years later" superimposed on the screen.
Jon's about to be married to Halley (Bridget Moynahan). She's a lovely girl, bur she isn't Kate Beckinsale. Sara's moved to the other coast, where she's about to be married to Lars (John Corbett). He's a New Age musician, which is all the information you need about that. Before taking the final plunge into sparkless matrimony, they each decide to make one last whirlwind try at finding that lost perfect love.
Each is accompanied in this quest by a Faithful Friend. Jon's is his best buddy Dean (Jeremy Piven, Cusack's real-life sidekick), an obit writer at the New York Times (another acknowledgement of life's tragic side.) Piven is very funny, especially in his rehearsal dinner toast. Less successful is SNL's Molly Shannon as Sara's pal Eve, who owns a San Francisco New Age shop but doesn't believe that sappy mystical stuff. Neither, by this time, does Sara, and small wonder, seeing where that sort of thing has gotten her in the past. The movie uses these friendships to make several coy allusions to homosexuality, but there's neither substance or purpose to them.
There are some wonderful scenes. One of the best showcases Eugene Levy as a devious martinet of a Bloomingdale's salesman. But more and more, as the story doubles back and forth across its paths of near-miss and extravagant coincidence, the bubbly charm of the earlier scenes give way to the tortured tyrannies of plot, until the characters seem to be racing from place to place at the demands of the script and the director rather than in response to any inner voice of their own. And as the movie whirls to its inevitable conclusion, it dodges its responsibilities in dealing with the messiness that comes with the disposing of pleasant characters who have become no longer necessary. (It also disposes discreetly of those awkward reminders of unpleasantness on the New York skyline, the twin towers of the World Trade Center.)
"Serendipity" is a romantic comedy, and there's no reason why it should have to deal with anything it doesn't want to, as long as the romance is romantic and the comedy is comic. Screwball comedy thrived as a distraction to the Great Depression, romantic comedy helped us through WWII, and there's probably enough of what it takes in this slight but sweet indulgence to pry us away from CNN and take us out of ourselves for an hour and a half of easy watching. It's predictable, and it's exasperating, but it's pretty inoffensive. "Serendipity" is "An Affair to Remember" without the accident and the wheelchair, and with a lot more laughs.
