Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation Basis of Presentation and Consolidation—The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Principles of Consolidation
Landsea Holdings holds a series of notes payable to affiliated entities of its parent. The cash Landsea Holdings received from this debt was partially utilized to fund operations of the Company. Related party interest incurred by Landsea Holdings (the "Related Party Interest") was historically pushed down to the Company and reflected on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company, primarily in real estate inventories, and on the consolidated statements of operations in cost of sales. Refer to Note 5 - Capitalized Interest for further detail. As the Company did not guarantee the notes payable nor have any obligations to repay the notes payable, and as the notes payable will not be assigned to the Company, the notes payable do not represent a liability of the Company and accordingly have not been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, in connection with the Merger, LHC is precluded from repaying Landsea Holdings' notes payable to the affiliated entities of its parent. Therefore, as of January 7, 2021, the Related Party Interest is no longer pushed down to LHC.
During the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements prior to the Merger, the Company was included in the consolidated U.S. federal, and certain state and local, income tax returns filed by Landsea Holdings, where applicable. Income tax expense and other income tax related information contained in these consolidated financial statements are presented on a separate return basis as if the Company had filed its own tax returns. Additionally, certain tax attributes such as net operating losses or credit carryforwards are presented on a separate return basis, and accordingly, may differ in the future. In jurisdictions where the Company has been included in the tax returns filed by Landsea Holdings, any income tax payables or receivables resulting from the related income tax provisions have been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets and the effect of the push down is reflected within additional paid-in capital.
Management of the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the consolidated financial statements reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided or benefit received by the Company during the periods presented. Nevertheless, the consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the Company's future performance and therefore periods prior to the Merger do not necessarily reflect the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company if it had been an independent entity during those periods.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Current Report on Form 8-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary for the fair statement of our results for the interim periods presented. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to seasonal variations and other factors.
Use of Estimates Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Lot Sales and Other Revenue and Profit Recognition
Revenues from lot sales and other revenue are recorded and a profit is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, which includes transferring a promised good or service to a customer. Lot sales and other revenue is recognized when all conditions of escrow are met, including delivery of the real estate asset in the agreed-upon condition, passage of title, receipt of appropriate consideration, and collection of associated receivables, if any, is probable, and other applicable criteria are met. Based upon the terms of the agreement, when it is determined that the performance obligation is not satisfied, the sale and the related profit are deferred for recognition in future periods.
Under the terms of certain lot sale and other contracts, the Company is obligated to perform certain development activities after the close of escrow. Due to this continuing involvement, the Company recognizes lot sales and other revenue under the percentage-of-completion method, whereby revenue is recognized in proportion to total costs incurred divided by total costs expected to be incurred. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had $0.6 million deferred revenue from lot sales and other revenue. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no deferred revenue. The Company recognizes these amounts as development progresses and the related performance obligations are completed. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had contract assets of $2.4 million from lot sales and other contracts. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had no contract asset balance. The contract asset balance represents cash to be received for work already performed on lot sale and other contracts. The amount of the transaction price for lot sales and other contracts allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of September 30, 2021 was $15.2 million. There was no outstanding amount related to unsatisfied performance obligations as of December 31, 2020.
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the amendments in this update on January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments - Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815). ASU 2020-01 clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity securities under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the amendments in this update on January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform, particularly the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is effective upon issuance, and the provisions generally can be applied prospectively as of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which refines the scope of Topic 848 and clarifies some of its guidance. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which provides clarity in an issuer's accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. Particularly, the update states that an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and holiday season. I spent my Christmas with my family and it was great to have my whole family together. I didn't have enough time (or money) to buy a Christmas spread kit, so I used a bunch of different stickers to create a Christmas-themed spread. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
I also picked up some shifts at the store I worked at over the summer. I forgot how hectic it was working there! But all of my co-workers from the summer were worried that I was gone for so long and were glad to see me back. I was so happy to see them too!
I used a Christmas sticker sampler from Sweet Kawaii Design to add some Christmas flair. The sticker sheet came exclusive in a Black Friday order (you can check that out here!) and I used most of the sheet in this spread. The hanging Christmas lights are my favorites. I hope that she makes more of those for other holidays. Garland for Valentine's Day would be adorable!
The Santa, Christmas tree and present stickers are from those $1 sticker books from Michael's. I usually don't like big decorative stickers, but for Christmas I'll make an exception.
The weekend banner, checklists and dividers are from the monthly kits from Ladybugzdesignz. The Christmas countdown stickers are from Have a Parade. The laptop stickers are from Planner Kate.


yay!! A happy one! 🙂 I can feel a peachy fuzz of love and the sweet nectar that will keep delirium playing hide and seek within hot memories.
*Fist bump* Yes Ryan Stone! I concur.
Judy and Ryan I need a wee explanation on the twist in the Haiku. Are the last 5 syllables supposed to reveal the twist?
You know that the first and 2nd lines have to read together as one sentence as do the 2nd and third lines taken together. You can get the twist in the final five or somewhere in the 7 , as far as I know.
I have to admit to bending the rules sometimes and not always getting the twist in.
Haha, don't let it bother you too much La Sabrosona (deliciously attractive woman? – nice) 😉 – I think the term haiku is used fairly loosely across the board. Your poetry is beautiful, whether it strictly qualifies as haiku or not isn't important.
I stick to calling mine 5-7-5 in reference to the syllable count, as they drift between haiku (focus on nature), senryu (focus on human nature) and just plain old verse in 5-7-5 format.
– instead of saying how the scene makes you feel, try to show the details that caused the emotion in the first place.
I tend to write more senryu. These are similar to the above explanation except that the focus is much more on human nature than on nature.
Mil gracias for taking the time to explain all that Ryan. Appreciate it tons! Makes a lot more sense now. I tend to write off the cuff anyway, so I'm not really that much into rules but I will do my best. Do you speak/understand Spanish btw?
Actually last year in the spring I got a flash of inspiration and I wrote my first poem in Spanish. I was very proud of the fact that I can think in Spanish well enough to pump out a poem (English is my first language), and I only began to learn Spanish in my late 20's.
Holy Chatty Cathy eh? What time is it where you are?
That is very inspiring. I struggle to write in my native English!
It is 11.55am on the 8th in Melbourne, Australia. You?
You're very sweet to indulge my chattiness at the moment. I wish you a beautiful Friday. Oh and I just wrote a Haiku/Senryu-ish in Spanish. You have some homework to do vecino, hehe.
Well you won't be the only one as I do it too!
Your Haikus are great Judy! Mine are Haikus merely in terms of syllables.
Absolutely. There is a phrase used in forensics (specifically dna) – 'every contact leaves a trace' – that I think can be applied perfectly to our relationships throughout life.
i'm sorry for blowing up your notifications today. i keep telling myself, "just one more…" but i just. can't. stop.

Gov. DeSantis warns COVID travel restrictions would be 'purely political attack' on Florida
James Call
Capital Bureau
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, speaking in Port Charlotte Thursday, said the Biden administration possibly imposing travel restrictions to curb the spread of the U.K. coronavirus variant is "a purely political attack on the people of Florida."
DeSantis coupled recent comments by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg with a Wednesday night announcement that the administration had cut off funding to build a southern border wall and denounced both moves as dangerous to the Sunshine State.
The Republican governor was in Charlotte County to announce the opening of COVID-19 vaccination sites there, focusing on inoculating World War II and Korean War veterans.
"If you think about it, restricting the rights of Americans to travel freely throughout our country while allowing illegal aliens to pour across the southern border unmolested would be a ridiculous but very damaging farce," DeSantis told reporters. "So we will oppose it 100%."
► The more contagious B.1.1.7 COVID variant is spreading quickly across Florida
► Florida first state to surpass 200 cases of more-contagious variant of COVID virus
► Leon County Health Department confirms local cases of UK COVID-19 variant
Axios reported Sunday night that Buttigieg is considering a rule that would require negative COVID-19 test results for domestic air travel.
The Miami Herald followed up with a report that White House officials said no policy announcements are imminent and that the administration would consult with state and local governments before imposing any travel restrictions.
"To be clear, there have been no decisions made around additional public health measures for domestic travel safety," White House spokesman Ike Hajinazarian told the USA TODAY NETWORK – Florida. "The administration is continuing to discuss recommendations across the travel space, but no specific decisions are under consideration."
Last March, DeSantis ordered visitors coming to Florida from New York and New Jersey to self-quarantine for two weeks upon arrival in Florida.
President Biden earlier this week cut off funding for the a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico, a signature project of former President Donald Trump, whose endorsement of DeSantis helped him seal the 2018 GOP primary win for Florida governor.
Biden announced he had terminated the emergency declaration for the border wall and he intended to use the money appropriated for it for other purposes, saying the wall was "not a serious policy solution" to the nation's immigration problems.
From USA TODAY:Biden rescinds national emergency at US southern border that allowed Trump to fund border wall
DeSantis, however, has been a proponent of the wall; he filmed a 2018 campaign commercial with he and his toddler son using building blocks to "build the wall."
Thursday's criticism of Biden marked the second consecutive day that DeSantis went off-script during a coronavirus vaccination media event.
He was in Venice on Wednesday to tout the state's less restrictive approach to limit the virus transmission, but criticized news media for reports about maskless celebrations of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Super Bowl victory.
"The media is worried about that; obviously, you guys really love that," DeSantis said.
"You don't care as much if it's a quote 'peaceful protest,' then it's fine. You don't care as much if they're celebrating a Biden election. You only care about it if it's people that you don't like."
From Wednesday (via Sarasota Herald-Tribune):DeSantis says U.K. variant not a concern because vaccines effective against it

Ankle is a solo, singer-songwriter album, but very little of it would be considered folky. Julien Baker's extremely intimate songs operate in existential ultimatums-life or death, hope or despair, oblivion or epiphany. These are redemption songs that sound as raw as they feel. Sprained Ankle is a solo, singer-songwriter album, but very little of it would be considered folky. Written while she was a student at Middle Tennessee State University, Sprained Ankle is the intensely intimate solo debut of Memphis' Julien Baker. It's made of sparse guitar and piano tunes about breakups, substance abuse, loneliness, physical and emotional pain, and enduring, all with a wounded vocal delivery that reveres the subject matter. Released while Baker was still a teenager, Sprained Ankle was recorded at Matthew E. White's Spacebomb Studios in Richmond, Virginia but hits like a bedroom recording - one that haunts.

Building Awesome Web Apps with Angular 2 Component Driven Architecture
Lukas Ruebbelke
This course has been updated! We now recommend you take the Angular 9 Fundamentals course.
Check out a free preview of the full Building Awesome Web Apps with Angular 2 course:
The "Component Driven Architecture" Lesson is part of the full, Building Awesome Web Apps with Angular 2 course featured in this preview video. Here's what you'd learn in this lesson:
Going over a brief history of Angular, Lukas compares the architecture styles between Angular 1 and 2. Rather than build ever larger view/controller modules in Angular 1, the recommended approach was to either break the application into named routes or separate directives. Angular 2 has evolved to a component-based approach. He also describes many of the features and benefits of a component system architecture.
Transcript from the "Component Driven Architecture" Lesson
>> Lukas Ruebbelke: So component driven architecture, we're going to really just talk about component driven architecture from a high level. What that means.
>> Lukas Ruebbelke: The contract that we establish, the inputs and outputs, container components, presentational components, and then we'll dig into input and output just a little bit more. But first, story time.
[00:00:24] You can't really talk about component driven architecture without at least talking about where we came from. And so those who are new to Angular, especially Angular 2, this may come as a surprise, but things weren't always this awesome. In fact, when we started Angular, this is in like the 0.9 version, when I started.
[00:00:56] That my first experience with Angular 2 and it blew everybody's mind, neatest circus trick ever was interpolation. Basically two-way data binding and you could hook up with curly brackets, and you simply had to set a property. So technically it's not two-way data binding, but it's really string interpolation.
[00:01:19] You set a property on your JavaScript and ta-da, it renders in your HTML. At the point, or at that point in time, that was actually really hard to do. And two-way data binding showed up, I had been doing flex for quite some time. And the concept of a view and a controller really struck me as kind of a view model.
[00:01:42] It really resonated with me and so I started out and I built a tiny app with a tiny view in a tiny controller. In fact, if you go to the angularjs.org museum of natural history and you look at some of their displays, these are exactly the kind of apps that are on the angularjs.org website, very simple, single page, in the case of this.
[00:02:12] I realize they're examples, but these are the kind of apps that we started writing, like, I didn't do two a day to mind you with Ang model and curly braces. Half my work is done. Amazing. And then you move into to do apps, etc. Well anyways, I was hooked.
[00:02:30] From there, I wanted to actually do things and so the application grew, but because of that when my functionality grew, so did my view, so did my controller. Well then the next logical step is, I would like to do this for money, with people. And so this is when reality hits.
[00:02:52] You need to produce something that's not trivial, and your view just keeps growing. Your controller keeps growing. And things become unmanageable. And it gets to the point where you have a 1200-line controller. And you're now negotiating who can work on what part of the controller. And this has happened, like okay.
[00:03:17] I'm working on up to line 200, don't touch anything. And anything after that you can work on. Well, this is a real sad panda moment. And so this is actually within the first year. People were running into this problem in a big way. Is that angular taught you where to put your pieces in the application, or essentially kind of your functionality, but they didn't really tell you, or didn't really have a strong opinion at the time, of how to actually compose them together.
[00:03:47] But out of that pain, two main approaches emerged. And they both, very viable, the first one is to break your application up using named routes. So again, treating your application as a state machine, you would break your application up into named routes using UI View. And then you would break your template and your controller up into smaller pieces, and kind of put them Into specific pieces via essentially UI view or the equivalent router outlet.
[00:04:25] But notice you still have your component, or rather your template controller pair in Angular one. The next version of this was using directives. So people actually started to use their directives to break up their applications. So you'd for instance have a side bar directive where your side bar went went, content footer.
[00:04:47] But you're still organizing this into component and template pairs. It's just again, an organizational mechanism. Well, because this is where the web standards were going and pretty much every other framework, Angular 2 said using directives as components, that this is a good idea. Let's just make components the thing.
[00:05:09] And so, structure. We now have, essentially out of this, a best practice around structure, which we have been talking about and learning about for the entirety of this workshop but, also this raises the question, how do we handle communication between components? When we structure them, how do they talk, how do they share information.
[00:05:37] And so this is where component driven architecture comes in. So as we've components are small, encapsulated pieces of software that we can reuse and make different contexts, so even to a point where we had a review component, and we just put it into our DOM via the selector.
[00:05:57] And then we turned around and we loaded it via a route. Because that component is self contained, we can have it in our DOM or in our application in two different places, same component instantiating it more than once in actually a totally different way. So Angular 2, by default, strongly encourages component architecture by really making it, well, not only easy but necessary, to build out every feature in the app as a component.
[00:06:28] And, more importantly, is that it allows us to kind of encapsulate everything so that one, it's predictable, but it's portable. And so when you are on a large application, especially, so as Angular kind of grows up within kind of large teams, or even small teams that need to share functionality, or share functionality between teams, you can now pick up components, and move them, and share them.

Albert van den Brulle, in het Italiaans Alberto de Brule (Antwerpen, ca. 1575 – (?), na 1602) was een Zuid-Nederlands beeldsnijder, van wie enkel werk uit in de San Giorgio Maggiore van Venetië bekend is.

Werk
Uiterlijk vanaf 1597 sculpteerde hij het koorgestoelte uit notelaar, meer bepaald de twaalf apostelfiguren, de 48 reliëfs over het leven van de heilige Benedictus, de putti op dolfijnen, de leeuwen en de gevlamde vazen. De reliëfs vormen een narratieve cyclus. Voor de composities richtte Van den Brulle zich naar de prenten opgenomen in het boek Speculum et exemplar Christicolarum vita beatissimi patris Benedicti (1587). Andere kunstenaars leverden de minder complexe delen van het koorgestoelte (Livio Comaschi, Gatti Gasparo en Pietro da San Barnaba). Volgens Stringa was Van den Brulle 25 jaar oud toen hij dit werk verrichtte. Voor dezelfde kerk maakte hij ook een drietal nisbeelden in stucwerk (ondertussen vervangen) en een beeldengroep van Sint-Joris met de draak. Na het einde van zijn opdrachten voor de San Giorgio Maggiore verdwijnt zijn spoor.

Q: Ask twice for email in the Ubercart checkout page Is there a Ubercart module to ask the user to insert his email twice in the checkout page?

A: There is an email confirmation checkbox in ubercart checkout settings. No additional modules needed.

A: I doubt there is a module for this. You can do this with hook_form_alter in a custom module. Should only be 10-20 lines of code.
Something like
function module_form_FORM_ID_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
  $form['...']['second_mail'] = array(
    '#title' => t('Verify E-mail'),
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#weight' => xx,
  );

  $form['#validate'][] = 'module_validate_function_name';
}

function module_validate_function_name(&$form, &$form_state) {
  if ($form_state['values']['mail'] != $form_state['values']['second_mail']) {
    form_set_error('second_mail', t('You have mistyped your e-mail, please verify');
  }
}

The above is example code, but might actually work, it depends how the ubercart checkout form is created, more specifically, the name of it's mail field.
There are a few blanks but it should be easy enough to fill out.

Today we've launched the third segment in our We Are CCEP film series - celebrating the diversity of people and cultures within Coca-Cola European Partners.
We operate across 13 countries in Western Europe, where more than 300 million people can enjoy our drinks. At the core of our business are our 23,500 colleagues that help to develop, make and sell some of the world's best loved brands.
The We Are CCEP series showcases just some of the roles at CCEP, as well as the passionate people that play a vital part in our business. The third stop on our tour took us to Belgium and Luxembourg where we met Noël and Vanessa who are part of our 6,000 strong field sales team across Western Europe. Every day Noël and Vanessa are on the road ensuring we provide great beverages and great service to our customers and consumers.
We travelled to Bastogne in the south of Belgium, where we met Noël who is a Service Representative and works with supermarket and convenience store customers. We then crossed the border to Luxembourg where we met his wife, Vanessa, who is a Sales Representative managing customer accounts in outlets such as offices, banks, universities, businesses and petrol stations.
1. What's your role at Coca-Cola European Partners?
2. What does a typical day look like?
Noël: Each day I visit around five stores – this could be in five different towns. I support our customers by ensuring their shelves are merchandised to our display standards with the products that are delivered by our CCEP drivers. I also negotiate sales agreements with the different store managers, place orders for all our products when needed and make sure that special offers are in the agreed locations.
Every Wednesday I attend a team meeting with our manager called RED (Right Execution Daily). These meetings provide me with useful information such as customer locations and new product development.
Vanessa: Every day I visit existing customer outlets to help them find ways to strengthen sales and introduce them to new products, and prospective customers to negotiate new business deals to stock our fantastic cold drink products, but also our coffee brand, CHAQWA.
I also attend RED meetings every Monday morning where we're given objectives for the week.
3. What's the best part about working together as a couple – is there anything challenging?
Vanessa & Noël: Working together means we understand each other's roles and the company's ways of working. We also understand what our schedules involve so we can organise our family life.
4. What's the best thing about working at CCEP?
Vanessa & Noël: Having a super varied job. We love the fact that each day is different from the next, changing all the time. We're also never in the same place two days in a row which means we meet people from different backgrounds all the time.
5. What's been your favourite moment during your time at CCEP?
Vanessa: My favourite moment was when I met Muhtar Kent - chairman and former CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. He accompanied us on a market visit to a number of our customer outlets and I received the best compliment about my sales techniques.
The day I found out that I got the job at CCEP was also magical!
Noël: Our team won a two day trip to Iceland as a reward for our performance. This was so cool!
6. What do you like doing outside work?
Vanessa: I enjoy running, fitness, climbing and spending time with my children. I also like decorating and painting my house, as well as renovating furniture.
Noël: I enjoy reading, playing the guitar, climbing and gardening – I love plants.
7. What is your favourite drink?

The Mumbai-born chef, ecstatic about cooking for Obama, had also cooked for the President at his inauguration.
As Barack Obama serves out the last months of his presidency, Floyd Cardoz's mind travels back to a Goa-inspired meal he cooked for Obama.
It was September 2014, when Cardoz ran the White Street restaurant in New York. The event was a Democratic party fundraiser at the restaurant. It was organized by Ed Zimmerman, a Democrat supporter and an investor in the eatery. Cardoz was given full control of the dinner. But he had to follow security rules.
In an email message, Cardoz says, "We were not given any brief as to what had to be cooked, all we were told was that we had to follow all protocol from the Secret Service, from background checks to security before, during and after the event."
The Mumbai-born Cardoz was ecstatic about the opportunity to cook for Obama.
"It was an honour," he says. "I had never had the opportunity to cook for a President. I had cooked for ambassadors and senators, the Secretary General of t he UN. I even had the pleasure of cooking for Hillary Clinton at Tabla (New York) while Bill Clinton was in office, but this was even bigger for me."
Obama had kind words for Cardoz. He says, "The President and I spoke twice — once when the picture was taken, and the second time just before he left. He told me to keep up the good work."
Michelle Obama was not present at the dinner, but Cardoz made sure his menu was in line with her health-oriented approach to food. "I wanted the food to be in line with the President and First Lady's philosophy — local, seasonal, low fat, fresh and full of flavour," he says. "I knew that I would achieve this by working with spicy dishes. Spices add a lot to flavour without compromising on my philosophy of not adding cream and butter. I was glad I was an Indian chef who loves to celebrate Indian flavours."
Cardoz also cooked for the President at his inauguration, and the fundraiser was icing on the cake. "I cooked at his inauguration and to see it all come in full circle was cool," Cardoz says.

From time to time, we like to shine the spotlight on a particular Herefordshire church and invite a representative of that church 'into the pulpit' to speak to us. In this interview with Bill Gunn of St George's church, Woolhope, we talk Lady Godiva, the beauty of holiness, and agree with the Prince of Wales…
Bill, tell us a bit about Woolhope.
Woolhope is a uniquely beautiful Herefordshire enclave. The local farms can trace their origins to the Doomsday Book, and little has ever disturbed the peace of 'Wulviva's Valley'; armies have passed by over the centuries, but seemingly always on the other side of the wooded hills that surround us. My wife Amanda and I count ourselves exceptionally lucky to live here, within five minutes puffing distance uphill to St George's Church (and also, incidentally, within easy distance of Woolhope's two excellent pubs, The Crown and The Butcher's Arms, both well known to walkers). We moved here from Yorkshire in the early 1980s and have put down ever-deeper roots. Our elder daughter was married in St George's in 2002.
I have long passed my sell-by date as Churchwarden of St George's and will retire next year, but have greatly enjoyed the role. Happily, I will not be stepping down completely as I shall continue as a Trustee of the Friends of Woolhope Church, the charity we set up in 2012 (with generous advice from John Caiger, featured in your last In the pulpit interview) to look after the fabric and churchyard.
St George's Church, Woolhope
What work is being done to the church at the moment, or needs to be done?
We have completed major repairs to the roof and re-tiling of areas of the floor, and repaired two windows that were seriously dilapidated. Among minor items, we are repairing a seventeenth century chair that was falling apart.
Next on the horizon are at least two exciting projects: One of the gems of St George's is our William Vincent organ (1862), and we hope to be able to restore its original 'High Victorian' decoration with the help of a specialist conservator. Also, our 13th century tower houses a rare peal of six bells (one dating from 1400) and the second of our projects is to have them re-hung, with the object of making them easier to ring (with no loss of quality of sound), particularly for younger recruits to our bell-ringing team.
Possible further projects include the replacement of the tower's pyramid roof (currently finished in asbestos, though of a relatively innocuous variety) with a new, tiled structure of the same profile, and the conversion of the mower shed to house a WC; those 'in extremis' have currently to resort either to the pub or to the Parish Hall, both a little distance away.
Apart from these there is, as always, a long list of minor repairs.
What sort of a grant did you receive from HHCT and where did the idea come from?
I have been shameless in approaching the HHCT for assistance over several years, and there have been few projects to which the Trust has not contributed in some measure. They gave us £5,800 towards the roof repairs and, most recently, contributed £2,000 and £1,750 to successive window repairs. Woolhope PCC is immensely grateful for this unfailing support.
Aside from this church, what's your favourite building in the county and why?
That's a difficult question, because we are spoilt for choice. I think I will plump for Dore Abbey.
The ambulatory, going its "splendid, sumptuous way" as Pevsner describes it, is exquisite enough but within it, like a jewel within a jewel, is that perfect Laudian chancel: two completely different but totally compatible expressions, dating from half a millennium apart, of 'the beauty of holiness'. An aesthetic 'double whammy'!
I have a particular musical memory of Dore Abbey to underline my choice. I remember once sitting in the transept watching the evening light move gradually down the wall as Maria-João Pires played Schubert's ghostly last piano sonata, the D960. The combination was utterly unforgettable.
If the church could feature in a film of your choice, what sort of film would it be?
I am tempted to suggest a biopic of Lady Godiva; it was her sister Wulviva who gave the village its name, and both sisters are commemorated in a striking 'Arts & Crafts' window in the North Aisle. I am sure Hollywood, given its current proclivities, would leap at the opportunity! Alternatively, 'Far from the Madding Crowd' is on circuit as I write and although Woolhope isn't Dorset, it would lend itself to a Hardy setting, with a number of churchyard monuments from the period.
Why do you think our historic church buildings are important in the modern world?
I sit firmly with the Prince of Wales in his views on contemporary architecture. Our churches have stood the test of time, combining resilience and beauty; how many modern buildings will survive, let alone give pleasure, for two millennia?
I also believe that churches provide a wonderfully accessible, three dimensional guide to the nation's history for those prepared to look for it and read the signs; be it the 13th century lady in a 'crespine' headdress looking down from the wall, the bell which rang out for Agincourt, or the intriguing date 1678 carved on the altar rail or the war memorial to Woolhopians who fought at Gallipoli, the Somme and Passchendaele. Each succeeding generation seems more woefully ignorant of our origins than its predecessor, but the solution is ready to hand.
When you're not being interviewed for HHCT, what do you do to relax?
I enjoy fishing on the Monnow in summer, walking the hills in winter, and listening to good music all year round.
In the delicate beauty of a finial, the awesome engineering of a keystone, or the simple symmetry of a quatrefoil, we can find quiet amid the turmoil of our daily lives. What aspect of the church property brings you the most peace or pleasure?
In recent weeks, looking through the clear glass of our newly restored window to the flowering cherry beyond, and seeing it move in the wind, has given particular pleasure. With the sunlight flooding in and 'Immortal invisible……' in full flow one can feel that all is right with the world. It isn't, of course, but one is strengthened to tackle it's challenges anew.
Of course, Bill. Thank you for taking the time to speak to HHCT. You can step out of the pulpit now.

President Donald Trump Thursday used a message to American troops overseas to take credit for a "win" in Afghanistan.
The Thanksgiving message was delivered by Trump from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida over an internet connection to military men and women stationed near Kabul.
"I have to say just directly to the folks in Afghanistan: Everybody's talking about the progress you've made in the last few months since I opened it up," Trump said, according to pool reports.
"We opened it up. We said, 'Go ahead; we're going to fight to win.' We're not fighting anymore to just walk around. We're fighting to win, and you people are really, you've turned it around over the last three to four months like nobody's seen. And they are talking about it. So thank you very much.
Earlier via Twitter, Trump spoke of what he sees as his accomplishments in office: "Jobs coming back, highest Stock Market EVER, Military getting really strong, we will build the WALL"
The last was a reference to a barrier Trump wants to build along the U.S. southern border with Mexico.


I know everyone does these lists - the ones where you record your 'best' or 'favorite' reads of 2009. I had great plans before the holidays to do gift guides and so on. I got busy. So...just my Best of 2009 reading list. Not all of these were necessarily published in 2009, but I read them this year. Not all are wonderful literature (gasp!), but all ARE: moving, or entertaining, or thought-provoking or simply un-put-downable. What were your best books from the last year? Feel free to link in the comments!
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins – You've probably heard all the hype by now. I thought it was completely warranted. This book made me cry in public. Yep. Couldn't stop, and I didn't care.
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness – A gripping, rattling, non-stop action read. It ripped me up inside, and I was amazed again by the strength of dystopian YA lit as a genre.
Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh – I love paranormal romance with a strong heroine and unique world-building. This one sucked me in with a dark story and characters I loved/hated/thought were really hot.
Wake by Lisa McMann – Up-front one of the most engaging and mysterious YA novels of the year. Really gripping storyline, and a couple of completely unforgettable teenage protagonists.
The Mysterious Benedict Society – I'm a sucker for clever films. Turns out I'm a sucker for clever children's books, too. This was so SMART, and fun, and I loved it to pieces. I gobbled it up and was absolutely enthralled by the plotting and pacing of this delightful mystery.
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld – My first foray into proper 'steampunk.' A delightful action adventure that ran across Europe and introduced the reader to characters as inventive and courageous as anyone could wish for. Left me DYING for Behemoth, the sequel.
Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede – Wrede is one of my all-time favorite fantasy authors, and she doesn't disappoint in this first entry in an alternate American West. Eff and her multitude of brothers and sisters are a joy to hang with, and I'm all set for the next installment.
House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones – A follow-up of sorts to Howl's Moving Castle, and another quirky, funny, and sometimes bizarre fantasy tale. All sorts of fun. Really.
Peter & Max by Bill Willingham – Bloodthirsty. Fairy. Story. Adventure, murder, mayhem, magic, Happily Ever After. "What?" you say? Just plain awesome. Go read it.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith – A rollicking good mash-up of zombies and a fiction classic. Both the writing and the illustrations made me laugh aloud at various points, and I gained a reputation as a zombie-lover by recommending this to friends.
Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev – Theater/fairy story with a surplus of charm and energy and verve. Really wonderful writing to boot. What's not to like?
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie – The man can WRITE. Like, whoa. I read an excerpt from his recent War Dances, and that led me to this one. Full of laughter, tears, life lessons and again, ridiculously good writing.
Soulless by Gail Carriger – You know how I mentioned love of paranormal romance and steampunk? This one marries the two with the wittiest and most entertaining dialogue I can remember reading. A jolly good time.
The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis – I read theological books, but don't often "enjoy" them. This one…it makes you think about heaven and hell and what the divide between the two really is (if there is one). Lewis is a classical scholar and writer who can couch these deep spiritual truths in simple language and metaphors.
Pretty Monsters by Kelly Link – Take bizarre to outer reaches. Make me laugh at alien abduction stories. Do the dark in a light fantastic sort of way. You end up with this stellar short story anthology. I wasn't a fan of the form before, but I sure am now.
Troll's-Eye View by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling – A children's short story anthology, with contributions by the masters of fantasy. Fairy stories told from the villain's point of view. Another volume that made me re-think my aversion to short stories. Super awesome.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card – An absolute classic in sci-fi – the only mystery is why it took me so long to read this one. Because it blew me out of the water. Isolation and genius so well-portrayed. Was beyond impressed.
The Demon's Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan – Hottest teenage hero of the year award goes to Nick. He's not good for you, but he's compelling and you have to love him. I can't wait for more of Brennan's writing – and swords kept under the sink.
Academy 7 by Anne Osterlund – Space school, mystery, touching romance. Put in pot, stir, add a dash of betrayal, uncertainty and distrust. Produces an amazing book that you'll want to re-read.
What I Did For Love by Susan Elizabeth Phillips – This author guarantees multiple laughs, teary eyes and a happy ending. Truly wonderful romance/women's fiction. I can't get enough of Ms. Phillips – some of my favorite standby comfort fiction, and this one will join the stable, no problem.
I am one of those people who has been apparently hiding under a rock instead of reading Hunger Games! :) I want to read it...just haven't yet!
I LOVED The Mysterious Benedict Society! I checked it out for my daughter and read it as well. There are TWO more books in the series I haven't gotten to yet. I thought it was amazingly written, especially since it was entertaining to me as an adult and it is a children's book.
House of Many Ways was pretty good too. I think I liked Howl's Moving Castle better though. You got it though...bizarre! But really fun!
Soulless is on my list to grab next time I am at the bookstore. I think it is a book I would really enjoy!
Again, great list. I really SHOULD put something together, but I will be lucky if i get my review posts up!
Such a great list! The fact that you have so many I loved on there, and so many I'm dying to read, tells me I need to check out the other titles too. I'm feeling a little guilty that I've had The Knife of Never Letting Go in my TBR pile for *months* now, so that'll be one of my New Year's Resolutions for sure. Same goes for The Demon's Lexicon.
I completely agree about The Hunger Games. Sometimes books are hyped because they are *really* that good, and The Hunger Games is one of those books.
Ya know...I haven't read one book on this list, but there are a few I have in my TBR pile. Like Hunger Games for example - I think I'm the last person on the planet who hasn't read it!
This is such a good list that I was forced to add the ones I haven't already read to my list of GET THESE NOW, since I loved the ones on your list I did read!
I may have to do one of these now.
Great list. It's full of book I want to read but haven't got to yet. The only 2 I have read are Pride & Prejudice & Zombies which I loved and The Mysterious Benedict Society which I found to be cleverly written.
So many great books on that list. I'm hoping to read Soulless soon. It looks so good.
Thanks for the great list. The only one I've read was Ender's Game, and I loved it. Several of the others are already on my to-read list.
Awesome list! I just bought Academy 7 yesterday as Tamora Pierce was raving about it. There needs to be more YA in space!
I love reading everyone's top lists. It's really where I'm seeing the reading personalities of all of my blogger friends!
How great is it to have so many you liked! I haven't read Ender's Game but will add it to my list for some variety of classics. Thanks!
I'm glad to know that Leviathan and Soulless were both on your list. I ordered them both and have been saving them for the new year.
Note to self: read everything on this list. Except maybe TKONLG which I am afraid of. And also Leviathan, which I have already read and enjoyed.
Ya know I've been dying to read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian!

'I Forgive You.' Arrest After Foster Mom Killed in Christmas Eve Hit-and-Run in South LA
The LAPD announced an arrest Thursday in the case of a beloved foster mom and philanthropist killed in a hit-and-run on Christmas Eve in South Los Angeles.
The number of family and friends that surrounded LAPD's South Traffic Division demonstrated how loved 62-year-old Trina Newman-Townsend was.
Police said they hope the arrest of a suspect will help in the healing process.
Her family thanked the LAPD for the arrest of a man police identified as 55-year-old Carlos Mayor.
Police allege Mayor was driving the car that fatally hit Newman-Townsend on Christmas Eve while going back to her car after dropping off gifts at a South LA shelter.
The crash was reported at 3:27 p.m. Dec. 24 at Broadway and 88th Street in the Broadway-Manchester area.
A witness told NBCLA Newman-Townsend was getting items out of the back of a car when a car traveling at about 40 mph struck the open door and the victim. The driver went through a red light after the crash and sped away from the scene, the witness said.
At times, the emotion was too much. Family and friends say that's how much Newman-Townsend was loved.
Trina Newman-Townsend is pictured in this undated photo provided by family.
Auntie Trina— her nickname written at her memorial— was a foster mother, philanthropist, and evangelist who was praised for her deep faith and endless generosity.
"She had a heart. That lady, she loved unconditionally," her daughter Callie Harvey said, to a crowd's applause.
Her daughter said it was very painful that the suspect didn't turn himself in despite the family's pleas. And yet even in their grief, Newman-Townsend's husband said there was room for forgiveness.
"Carlos, I forgive you. You panicked. Things happen," said Curtis Townsend Sr.
Police say they made the arrest with a lot of community help. Perhaps, they said, it was because it happened on Christmas Eve, with emotions high for a woman so cherished.
Police say Mayor was booked for vehicular manslaughter. They say he was simply driving too fast and cautioned all of us to drive more carefully to avoid more tragedies.

Congressman Mac Thornberry's Statement for the Record on Impeachment
Statement of Rep. Mac Thornberry (Texas – 13th) H. Res. 755 Madam Speaker, In 1998, I voted for three of the four counts of impeachment brought against President Clinton. Those votes were some of the most difficult I have cast during my 25 years in Congress. Impeachment is an extreme remedy, which, in effect, alters a decision made by the American people through an election. It was clear, however, that President Clinton had lied under oath in a judicial proceeding, a felony crime for which othe... More

New Lenovo ThinkPads Get Down to Business with AMD
By Sherri L. Smith published 31 August 17
AMD has been making a big splash of late with its Ryzen processors such as the Threadripper, a hulking desktop chip. Meanwhile, laptop users have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the company to show mobile users a little love. Sadly, the wait for continues. Instead, Lenovo has unveiled two new laptops from its ThinkPad line: the 14-inch A475 and the 12.5-inch A275 -- both of which feature AMD Pro processors.
Attempting to get into more business laptops, AMD has teamed with Lenovo to create its A Series notebooks (A as in AMD, get it?) which will target large enterprise, government agencies and education. Although pricing and launch dates have yet to be released, we do know a couple of details. Both systems will feature either last year's AMD Bristol Ridge Pro Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) or the company's older Carrizo Pro APU with up to an integrated AMD Radeon R7 UMA Graphics. The laptops will also feature AMD's Dash Manageability software, which is similar to Intel vPro, a remote management software primarily used by IT departments.

There are a few key differences aside from the notebook's overall size. For instance while the A275 can be configured with up to 16GB of RAM, the A475 can support 32GB. And while both notebooks have a future-proofing USB-Type C port, the A475 also sports a bottom-mounted module in case you want to attach the laptop to a docking station. The A475 also has three USB 3.0 ports to the smaller A275's two.
While this is not Lenovo's first rodeo with AMD-laden ThinkPads, this marks the first time that AMD is trying to engage enterprise users. Although Bristol Bridge is an older AMD processor, I'm looking forward to pitting the A475 and A275 against similarly priced and sized competition when the time comes.

Q: Always getting an empty white window when starting nw.exe I have problem with NW.js, when I run nw.exe or my project directly in cmd "nw.exe ./path/of/myApp", NW.js doesn't work. I always get an empty white window. See this animation:

Note: my cursor always loads by interval when the NW.js window is active. I've waited 5 minutes but the program was not loaded.
But 10 minuts before, NW.js worked correctly. Now, after reboot, the problem persist.
I use NW.JS SDK 64bits (lasted version online).
I have tried with NW.js Stable (not sdk) but I have same problem.

In Nomine
This article is about the musical genre originating in 16th-century England. For the role-playing game, see In Nomine (role-playing game). For the Europa Universalis 3 expansion, see Europa Universalis III: In Nomine.
In Nomine is a title given to a large number of pieces of English polyphonic, predominantly instrumental music, first composed during the 16th century.
This "most conspicuous single form in the early development of English consort music" (Edwards 2001) originated in the early 16th century from a six-voice mass composed before 1530 by John Taverner on the plainchant Gloria Tibi Trinitas. In the Benedictus section of this mass, the Latin phrase "in nomine Domini" was sung in a reduced, four-part counterpoint, with the plainchant melody in the mean (alto part). At an early point, this attractive passage became popular as a short instrumental piece, though there is no evidence that Taverner himself was responsible for any of these arrangements (Bowers, Doe, and Benham 2001). Over the next 150 years, English composers worked this melody into "In Nomine" pieces of ever greater stylistic range.
In Nomines are typically consort pieces for four or five instruments, especially consorts of viols. One instrument plays the theme through as a cantus firmus with each note lasting one or even two measures; usually this is the second part from the top. The other parts play more complex lines, often in imitative counterpoint. Usually they take up several new motifs in turn, using each one as a point of imitation. However, there are In Nomines composed for solo or duo keyboard instruments and even one for the lute: a fantasy titled Farewell by John Dowland (Edwards 2001).
Examples of the genre include compositions by Christopher Tye (the most prolific composer of In Nomines, with 24 surviving settings), Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, John Bull, Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Tomkins, William Lawes, and Henry Purcell, among many others. They can vary in mood from melancholy to serene, exultant, or even playful or hectic (as in Tye's In Nomine "Crye," in which the viols seem to imitate the call of a street hawker).
Composition of In Nomines lapsed in the eighteenth century but was revived in the twentieth century, an early notable example being Richard Strauss's opera Die schweigsame Frau, which quotes a keyboard In nomine by John Bull. Later examples are found in works by Peter Maxwell Davies and Roger Smalley (Edwards 2001). Starting in 1999, the Freiburg new-music organization ensemble recherche began commissioning an ongoing series of short In Nomine compositions for the festival Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik. The series is dedicated to Harry Vogt, director of the festival since 1989, and is collectively titled the Witten In Nomine Broken Consort Book (Blaich 2004, 4–5). Some of the notable composers who have contributed pieces to this series to date include Brian Ferneyhough, Georg Friedrich Haas, Toshio Hosokawa, György Kurtág, Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf, Gérard Pesson, Robert H.P. Platz, Rolf Riehm, Wolfgang Rihm, Salvatore Sciarrino, Hans Zender, and Walter Zimmermann. Graham Waterhouse composed in nomine for cello solo in 2013.
In Nomine, by John Bull (MIDI file, 8kb). The In Nomine theme is the highest part, above two other voices that alternate between polyphonic and homophonic textures.
In Nomine, by Orlando Gibbons (MIDI file, 10kb). This five-part In Nomine by Orlando Gibbons was probably written for viols but is represented here with organ voices.

I got it. Sometimes it would mean selling when I wanted more and other times it would mean holding when I feared the price would drop or selling when I worried it might be going up.
Two days before, a billionaire announced how he put 10% of his worth into cryptocurrency last year. Then sold most of his Ethereum when it peaked around $400, still retaining 10% of his worth in cryptocurrency. He projected it would continue to drop and suggested that it might be worthwhile buying Ethereum when it hit $150 and $200.
I had been watching a slowly falling Ethereum trend, when I read this news. Ethereum had steadily moved from $308 that day down to $285. I had actually googled the news because I was wondering what was up. Immediately, I envisioned a drop like we had a few days prior when someone falsely spread a rumor that the founder of Ethereum had died.
I totally expected Ethereum to rapidly drop to $250 in response to this new, bad news. I decided to sell with the plan on buying again when it was at $250. This idea was just some conclusion my mind came up with. There was no emotional charge of fear or greed really. I was being logical. Almost automatically, I sold 50 of my Ethereum coins.
Immediately the price began to rise and I was immediately thrown into fear. What had I done?! Perhaps I was being logical and unemotional, but my reasoning was based on an assumption that bad news would spike a sell off. Perhaps this does have some basis, but I had not even really thought it through. I was filled with regret. I had not really thought it through and analyzed the trends.
At the same time, I considered buying more Ethereum! When I looked at the trend, it appeared that the coin's value was moving up. I had sold my long term investment stash, but I was poised to buy with my day trading account. I felt so confused. Could it be a good time to buy and to sell? Yes, actually it could be. At that moment, I was expecting a drop that might take a day. On the other hand, right at that moment was a surge upwards that might last 30 minutes or a couple hours. Tempted to buy right after I sold, I decided that I didn't want to watch the ticker all night for the right time to unload.
I woke up the next morning and the Ethereum price was still high. Feeling emotional, I put in a buy order at the price I sold the night before. I was hoping the coin price would drop back down. I just wanted to get the coin back and would be happy to get it for the same price I sold at. That would be like making that rash decision go away.
Around noon, it dropped back down to $285 and my buy order was processed. I was happy, because it was what I wanted. But in retrospect, my mind was still in the past. One of the challenges with day trading was staying in the present. I was learning this as I went. Even as I was buying again, I was thinking about how I really should be selling. Or actually, I was thinking how I really should have sold more when it hit the $290's again, since, after my fear had worn off, I had a sense it was going to go down. Maybe in spits and jerks, but I expected it to reach $250 for sure.
It is 7:30am and I am sitting here watching the ticker for the cybercurrency, Ethereum, on one of my three monitors. It used to be that I got up, meditated, had breakfast, and then moved outside for my morning practice of Chi Gung and Vajra Dance.
But, that all changed last week when I decided a week ago to become a day trader. I still do my practice, but I intermingle my routine with monitoring the real-time sales and buys.
My success? Well, for the week I am at a $1619 loss in terms of money. However, I am intrigued by my emotional attachment to outcomes. I think my gains in this area outweigh any possible monetary loss.
This all started mid May when I woke up one day and decided to check my bitcoin and ethereum values. It been a couple of months since I'd last looked. When I logged into my Coinbase Account, I could only just stare.
"So, this is what it feels like to become an instant millionaire," I thought. The small investment my partner and I had made the prior year had initially gone down and then just stayed flat. Now the value was 10 times the purchase price. Wow!
I wasn't a millionaire, by far, but the change in value was so dramatic. I could feel something shift inside me. I had recently made investments in myself, and saw this as a direct payoff for the money I spent on a business coaching program.
I called my partner to the computer. I said to him, "Should we sell?" Ethereum was at $175 that day, but I could imagine it increasing like Bitcoin to over $2000 dollars. I went to the sell page and sat their contemplating. Then he bent over me and put the max we were allowed to sell in the cart and hit the sell button. I gasped! I turned to him in amazement and said, "You just pushed the button," as if that was the easiest thing to do. He seemed to do it without much deliberation.
I pondered the truth of it. It was just numbers. The source of my income is not Ethereum, or Bitcoin, or my work. Still, I was attached to those numbers.
