On this Theme Thursday Season Three webcast, Jim Collison, Gallup's Director of Talent Sourcing, and Maika Leibbrandt, Senior Workplace Consultant, talk about Ideation with guest Maureen Electa Monte.
You revel in taking the world we all know and turning it around so we can view it from a strange but strangely enlightening angle. You love all these ideas because they are profound, because they are novel, because they are clarifying, because they are contrary and because they are bizarre. For all these reasons, you derive a jolt of energy whenever a new idea occurs to you. Others may label you creative or original or conceptual or even smart. Perhaps you are all of these. Who can be sure? What you are sure of is that ideas are thrilling. And on most days, this is enough.
Ideation is about coming up with ideas that have never existed before, and connecting ideas in ways that have never been obvious. What Ideation is looking for is what hasn't been thought of. Ideation sees what is strangely enlightening. Ideation brings a creative level of intelligence. There is a constant stream of creativity that never seems to run out.
If as an individual Ideation is about discovering new angles and new concepts, as a leader it is about helping other people see those. Fresh and new are words you would use with Ideation. For your followers that could mean relevant and exacting. It could mean that Ideation helps you communicate with a diverse group of people in a way that speaks to them. This is not the same as Individualization, it is more about looking at the nucleus of that idea. Think about tailoring messages and ideas in the form most easy to absorb. How can you put others at ease, and be able to channel that creativity in a way to properly communicate the message?
Ideation can be playful. You don't have to search very hard to find something novel with this Theme. Think about the connection between Ideation and hospitality. You can invite others in to this cool creative space with you. This can be a phenomenal gift that you can give to them. Make sure you do this out loud though, or it can come off as somewhat exclusive. Learn how and when to lead others into your ideas. It is not always going to be necessary or possible, but there are times when you need to build trust and bring others into what is going on in your mind.
Of all 34 Themes, Ideation is the one whose definition is most closely related to creativity. If you have this Theme you are genuinely creating a thought that didn't exist before. The other side to Ideation is connecting. What is an extension of something that is already familiar? Challenge yourself to use both sides of this Theme. Think about working on how you can be good at both connecting and creating.
A leader with Ideation can build trust by clarifying when you are brainstorming, and when you have committed. This also means clarifying when you are about to ask for a commitment from someone else. Make sure that you close the loop, be crystal clear about when you are going to execute on an idea. A leader could build Stability through connection. How can you help other people be more comfortable with the unknown by filtering it through what they know? You can build compassion by learning others' stories so that you can connect them to where you are going. Think about helping others see themselves in where they are going. Finally, you can create hope by inviting people into talking about what could be. Create a space where you are not asking for commitment, but just ideating on the numerous possibilities of the future.
How do you feel about the Ideation theme in a leadership role? Share your thoughts and experiences on the Called to Coach Facebook page.

8 hours of an unemployed person in the blockchain industry: "blockchain can fulfill my ambition"
Time : 27/07/2022 Author : a2p1xs Click : + -
In Beijing in late November, the ginkgo leaves were almost finished. The 25-year-old Xia Jianguo, like before, joined the morning peak army of Metro Line 13, which claimed that he had never sat and was not qualified to talk about life. However, this time he was not busy working, but busy looking for a class. An hour and a half later, this "subway sardine" was eating salad in pizza hut. Camouflage coat and hiking boots. Apart from metal framed glasses and meticulous oil heads, the real Xia Jianguo cannot fully establish contact with the business man who arranges cuffs on the wechat avatar. Maybe it's because he felt something. Xia Jianguo put down his fork and explained, "if the public relations photo is the same as me, I'll spend 400 yuan in vain." hehe smiled and opened, "I bought a loaf of bread when I came, but it was squeezed into a cake.
"。 In 2015, Xia Jianguo, a native of Shaanxi, graduated from a university in Yunnan. Like most of the post-90s generation, an ordinary college student who has just left school has neither suffered from life nor tasted the sweetness of money. He was pushed by 7.5 million graduates across the country and hurried to work. "At that time, meituan was doing well, and it was praised as a good project. It was envious, so he also did a similar project, and I went to the important people." later, Xia Jianguo felt that the rise of this job was limited. "It was always in the same area, today in Dali, tomorrow in Kunming, and all over again." after a short time, he returned to his hometown. However, reality is always different from literary works. The hometown in Chen Ming's songs is a happy hometown, but Xia Jianguo's is not.
After returning home, Xia Jianguo worked as a criminal investigation assistant police officer. No matter how ugly the crime scene is, he must rush to protect it; I have sold real estate, second-hand houses, office buildings and luxury houses; Once served as the head of a gas station, and tried unsuccessfully to infiltrate the management of a well-known oil enterprise group. "I felt that I was on the wrong path, but I didn't know how to do it well. I insisted on going to Beijing to find an opportunity. I bumped into a company doing chain reform by mistake, and thus contacted the blockchain," Xia Jianguo said frankly. 10: 18 "I have been unemployed for nearly three months" chain reform of pizza hut happy restaurant is the channel for small and medium-sized enterprises to raise money on the blockchain. First release the white paper, and then help the financiers to put their money on the exchange. Due to lack of supervision, it is easy to get money, which leads to the outbreak of bad human nature.
Later, many people knew that the project was fabricated by speculators and a lot of air coins were issued. The application scenarios described in the white paper also have no corresponding blockchain technology to meet the functions, and the smart contract behind the issuance of coins cannot be truly performed. The result is obvious. Most investors are full of hope to enter the market, but the blockchain has brought them a blow. The crazy speculation of ICO (initial token issuance) soon led to a regulatory storm. On September 4, 2017, seven ministries and commissions including the people's Bank of China, the central Internet Information Office, the Ministry of industry and information technology, the State Administration for Industry and commerce, the China Banking Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the China Insurance Regulatory Commission jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risks of token issuance, which not only stopped the ICO, but also closed all domestic digital asset trading platforms.
With the promulgation of the "94 ban", the whole coin circle was hit by the reduction of dimension. It is no surprise that Xia Jianguo lost his job. "Originally, the project planned to issue coins on September 20, but after the project was completely suspended, the whole team returned to Shanghai, and I left the order.". But at that time, the market enthusiasm remained high. Soon, Xia Jianguo found a second place, a light wallet company. Previously, opening an account in the exchange seemed to open an account in a bank that was not safe enough. When users deposited their coins in the exchange, the exchange could master the user's private key, transfer the user's funds, and build a centralized fund pool. In this case, once the exchange is attacked by hackers, the users will certainly suffer heavy losses. If they are lucky, some of them will be recovered. If they are unlucky, the exchange will close down and all the assets will be lost.
The wallet is an infrastructure with strong security. The private key is owned by the user and the verification speed is fast. However, the disadvantages of this product are also very clear, such as long cycle, strong technology, high cost and not very profitable at the initial stage. Like wechat, operators need to increase the number of users before they can make money. However, it is this unprofitable project that gives Xia Jianguo the greatest harvest: a higher title, co-founder of atoken wallet; More in-depth study, and even put their own learning notes into a book. However, VCs usually don't have much patience to wait. Xia Jianguo complained, "when I went out looking for money, some investors in the Internet industry asked me if I could summarize what blockchain is in one sentence. In fact, I would like to ask them if I could summarize what the Internet is in one sentence.
"Since the second half of 2018, the hot money in the blockchain industry has entered the autumn and winter season along with the global market. Xia Jianguo has also officially become an unemployed person in the blockchain industry. "From September this year to now, I have even found more than 30 companies with my resume and friends to help me recommend, but I have not found a suitable job. I have been unemployed for nearly three months.". 11: 38 "why do you write a book? It's just a simple thought of fire" in Sizhuang hotpot. I know Xia Jianguo because of an e-book & mdash& mdash; Blockchain atlas. After losing his job, Xia Jianguo organized his study notes in the light wallet company into a mind map and shared them for free.
Although the whole book has only 61 pages, its logic is clear and its lines are smooth. It has not only been recognized by people in the industry, but also brought tangible benefits to Xia Jianguo: 3 personal interviews, 24 works newsletters and wider recognition. "Why write a book? It's just a simple desire for fire. In this age, good wine is afraid of deep alleys. I can only create some attention by writing a book, and then marry myself off while it's hot." Having said that, the blockchain industry has been popular for so long, and there are not many people who are willing to really understand the technology. In this era of making fast money, there are always a lot of people who take advantage of the heat to make money, and there are few people who strike while the iron is hot.
It seems that everyone is busy with things at the operational level. Since they can circle money quickly, who is willing to study technology? "I'm willing to go deep into it. Blockchain and hotpot are the two major beliefs in my life," Xia Jianguo said with a smile. There are three waves in my life, so long as I grasp one of them, I will succeed. The first wave is often not caught, perhaps because it is too young; The second wave must be grasped; The third wave should not have the energy to catch it anymore. People are getting old. "Blockchain can fulfill my ambition and bring me the life I want", Xia Jianguo's eyes are stubborn through the boiling heat of butter hotpot. At this stage, the talent introduction path of traditional financial institutions has been basically finalized, and the demographic dividend of the Internet industry has gradually ebbed.
To put it bluntly, money is not so easy to earn. In all walks of life, graduates who lack opportunities have to start from the bottom. Especially when the economic situation is bad, the master of finance who graduated in 985 can only count money at the teller post of the bank and lie down for many years. However, emerging industries can provide more opportunities for young people like Xia Jianguo. Perhaps in today's Internet companies, newcomers can't see the founder level figure even after one month's employment, but the blockchain industry has never spared honor, and the title of co-founder is not strange in direct arrangement. However, people's hearts are always not easy to be satisfied. They often want material after they have a reputation. After the material foundation is consolidated, they begin to pursue fame. Blockchain is no exception.
When the cold winter of the industry comes, even if some people get the title of co-founder, they have no channel to realize, and soon they start to retreat. Since the second half of the year, some blockchain practitioners have left, some have wandered, and some have chosen to stick. "I know that many people around me have quit, but I will not leave. I believe that blockchain technology represents the future." as a leftover, Xia Jianguo is very firm. Even so, it is not easy for an ordinary young man to turn the tide against the wind and rise in the new industry? 13: 45costa coffee "do you have any questions to ask me?" After lunch, Xia Jianguo received an exclusive interview with blockchain atlas, but he did not show a particularly positive and happy mood.
"I was very excited at the beginning of this kind of interview. I knew it after several times. Most of them didn't understand the blockchain at all and didn't care about this book. There were even people who came to brag and left after blowing. It's really baffling," Xia Jianguo said. "This afternoon, this company is still a bit famous. I hope to meet a reliable opportunity this time." In the blockchain we media industry, it is not so important to understand the technology. Perhaps the capital is male, to a large extent, the female's appearance is the hard currency. Open the member list of a certain we media wechat group, and the first row of the "first sister in the coin circle" is listed, and then the second, third and fourth & hellip; None of the seven lines is male.
From the wechat avatar, the members of the group are young and all beautiful, whether they take business photos, self photos or travel photos. The circle has even held a summit with the theme of "beautiful entrepreneurs". All the participants were crowned with the halo of founders, partners, and C's various O's, and the scene was full of enthusiasm. In the blockchain "Beauty Group" cafe, Xia Jianguo, who just met the reporter, was secretly happy. This time, he met a middle-aged male reporter in his 40s. But soon, Xia Jianguo was not happy. This middle-aged male reporter, who seems to have some experience, talked about his personal experience for almost an hour, from how to rise and fall in the official position to how to be indifferent to fame and wealth, and also mentioned various kinds of racetracks for no less than 20 times.
"Don't you have any questions to ask me?" During the whole interview, Xia Jianguo reminded the other party three times, "that's all right. Wait for the news. I'll tell you when I have a manuscript.". "Do you feel it? This is the current situation of blockchain media. I'm very grateful if you can help me write an express without money.". Whether an industry is good or not, the media can make a thermometer. Nowadays, most blockchain media are faced with huge capital pressure while watching the face of regulation. Since the beginning of the second half of the year, more than 50 blockchain we media have withdrawn, some of them have been sealed by the regulatory authorities, but most of them have taken the initiative to liquidate. In March, the quotation of blockchain we media was still 1 bitcoin, which was worth more than 100000 yuan. Half a year later, not to mention that 1 bitcoin fell to only worth more than 20000 yuan, it would be good to have a quick message.
15: 38 Raffles center "Chuangshi capital turned me down, just a moment ago" in fact, I didn't dare to tell my parents too much about my unemployment, and they didn't agree with me to be a drifter in the north. My father sighed every day, saying that my young man was unconvinced and would not go to the good job introduced. They were all big enterprises, such as golden dragon fish and shell. "When talking about his parents, Xia Jianguo expressed his regret, "I only dare to send them some news about the interview. I feel ashamed of them.". I'm just restless. Like most traditional families, Xia Jianguo's parents first expressed their opposition to the idea of Beipiao. In their eyes, the true meaning is to start at the gas station, gradually become the director, and then go up to the group, and live a good life in a down-to-earth manner.
"At first they asked me what the blockchain was about, but later they didn't ask," Xia Jianguo said helplessly, "I couldn't make it clear. Later, I simply said it was Internet finance.". What is Beipiao? It is a young spirit and a dream. Perhaps the parents have seen too many young people come to Beijing from nothing, with a dream of not being willing to be ordinary. Finally, they return to their hometown in debt, and use their ordinary life to repay the debts still owed in Beijing. Money debt, health debt, emotional debt, dream debt, and some debts are still in interest, which may overdraft the whole life. "Actually, I don't want to quarrel with my parents, but it's the result of one quarrel after another. Later, I gradually understood that what my parents wanted was not what I was doing.
They were afraid that I would take the wrong path and suffer losses. "Xia Jianguo took a look at the new news. When talking about his parents, his soft heart directly solidified on his face." the company I particularly wanted to enter, Chuangshi capital, rejected me just now. " 16: 15 Dongzhimen subway station "in fact, not everyone is miserable." since November, the mining circle in the blockchain industry has been the first to be tested. The continuous decline of the currency price has caused mainstream mining machines to break through the cost price one after another. The mine was unable to make ends meet, and even a video of "weighing by catties" of mining machine sales was released. The coin ring is a little better, but it also divides people. Those who engage in trading should rely on their own abilities. It is better to look at the fundamentals and study the trading techniques. They should be long and short, and assume their own losses and profits.
Generally speaking, those who started early achieved financial freedom with the sharp rise of the previous wave of market. It is even more powerful to engage in issuance. The whole set of actions, such as speculation in concepts, drawing big cakes, listing on the exchange, and cashing, are completed in one go, starting from the harvest of individual investors, then institutional traders, and then venture capital. When the capitalists came back, the last piece of the tarp had been torn off from the coin ring, leaving only chicken feathers on the ground. The chain loop is relatively complex. "I divide the people in the chain into four situations, but not all of them are miserable." Xia Jianguo believes that the first type in the chain is the public chain, and the technical personnel and the infrastructure at the bottom are basically in this category; The second type is the media, which provides services for the chain circle and peripheral products. Usually, they send advertisements when they give money, and the practitioners are mixed up; The third category is the traditional industry's blockchain testers, such as blockchain research institutes in universities and blockchain project teams in large enterprises. Those who can enter are basically top-notch and stable; The fourth category is relatively small, which is the special group that provides some data and technical support for the public security or government.
Among these four types of people, the most famous one was the first type, public chain technicians. Looking back to the first quarter of this year, Chen Weixing, the founder of Kuai taxi, published a 10000 character long article in the "three o'clock sleepless" blockchain community, shaking his arms and shouting for the endorsement of the blockchain, creating a phenomenon level "three o'clock" fever. With the support of the big guys, the boat will naturally rise. The annual salary of the underlying technical personnel of the blockchain is 500000-800000 yuan, which may not necessarily attract people. Some financial investment companies and online game companies can even offer a super high chip of 2 million yuan. Although the industry has cooled down now, this group of people is the group with the least loss among all blockchain practitioners.
They are not only carrying the dream of investors, but also upholding their faith in blockchain. The second is we media. In fact, the audience of blockchain we media is very limited. The vast majority of them, who do not contact this circle, have never heard of it. When the market was booming, large we media connected resources to do FA, and small we media sent express messages to collect advertising fees. It seems that the publisher has a certain illusion that it doesn't matter if the mainstream media can't find one advertisement. If we media in the blockchain circle find 30, they can always achieve the same effect. Therefore, in March and April of this year, thousands of blockchain we media were rapidly established. The original wechat merchants, factory sisters, and online celebrities picked up their keyboards and became co founders and editors. It was a colorful scene.
However, due to the lack of basic knowledge, the bear market hit, and blockchain we media failed to transform, so they were the first to leave. The third group has been walking on the edge of exploration. For example, the three major domestic telecom operators, and the internal institutions of universities such as the blockchain research center of Zhejiang University. It can be said that the most senior talents and core resources are gathered here. These people do not have a high sense of existence in the blockchain industry. It seems that they have done nothing, but it is not. When the alliance chain was popular, the industry and commerce department soon launched a small business card program to link all the work units and personal information to ensure the authenticity of employees' identities and put an end to the absurd thing of BYD's "mysterious executives cheating advertisers of 1.1 billion".

Terrorism Suspect To Be Tried In U.S. Civilian Court
Published October 24, 2014 at 1:33 PM PDT
After years of debate about how and where to try enemy combatants picked up on the battlefield, a first. Yesterday, the White House confirmed that a detainee will be transferred from an Afghan prison to the U.S. to face charges in a federal civilian court. Many terrorism suspects have already been convicted in U.S. courts. This is the first time a suspect captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan and held in U.S. military custody there has been brought into the U.S. criminal justice system.
Joining me to help explain this is Bobby Chesney. He teaches national security law at the University of Texas at Austin. Welcome to the program.
BOBBY CHESNEY: Thank you very much for having me.
CORNISH: So let's get into the backstory here. This detainee, he's actually a Russian national who had been fighting with the Taliban and I understand was held by the U.S. in Afghanistan for five years.
CHESNEY: That's right. His nom de guerre: Irek Hamidullan. He may have fought in Afghanistan against the Soviet Union in the '80s and then ends up in American custody in 2009 apparently having been involved in attacks that either wounded or perhaps even killed American troops. And he's been held in our custody in Afghanistan ever since.
CORNISH: So why would the Obama Administration decide to bring him here to the U.S. now?
CHESNEY: There's a clock ticking. For several years we've known that we would not able to maintain our detention operations in Afghanistan forever. And the process of keeping detainees there, that's been unwound slowly over the past several years. And we are now down to a final small group of non-Afghan detainees for whom it's very difficult to figure what to do next. Some of them, they have American blood on their hands. And there needs to be a detention solution or something once we get to the end of this year and we need to close down the facilities once and for all.
CORNISH: So in the meantime, this detainee has been at Bagram. I mean, where was he in the legal process? Was he just sitting in jail? Was he being used for intelligence purposes?
CHESNEY: Well, there's no doubt been some amount of intelligence interrogation. But his status has not been that of a criminal defendant. It's been that of a military detainee held under color of the laws of war. And this is the same sort of legal foundation that we see used at Guantanamo and have used for many detainees in Afghanistan over the years. It's the standard claim that someone who is a fighter for the enemy, that you don't have to prosecute them. You can hold them for the duration of hostilities. But of course our involvement in hostilities there is winding down. And even if we wanted to maintain the claim we had the right to hold him longer, we've got to do it somewhere else.
CORNISH: So why do you think that this case is one to watch? I mean, you mentioned Guantanamo. And I want more of an understanding of how these things relate to each other.
CHESNEY: One of the things we know about the Obama Administration's position on Guantanamo is they would very much like to close Guantanamo. The administration early on had attempted to start the process of taking at least some of the Guantanamo detainees, bringing them to the United States for civilian criminal trials, and there was a huge pushback. And there was a lot of criticism. And ever since then, Congress has made it impossible for the administration to bring other Guantanamo detainees into America to face trial. That rule doesn't apply to the lingering detention population in Afghanistan. So in a way, bringing Irek Hamidullan into the United States for prosecution is a bit of a pilot. Could we perhaps not only address the lingering elements of detention in Afghanistan this way, might it also be a solution we could reopen for Guantanamo?
CORNISH: Is that wishful thinking? Given the political opposition?
CHESNEY: (Laughter) I think it's a bit wishful thinking. And of course if this prosecution doesn't go well, if he's acquitted and then seeks asylum and is hard to remove the United States, these sorts of things will make it all the harder for the administration to achieve its goals of bringing any detainees into the United States in order to close Guantanamo.
CORNISH: Professor Bobby Chesney. He teaches national security law at the University of Texas at Austin. Thanks so much for explaining it to us.
CHESNEY: Thank you very much. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

In the part of the brain where emotions are processed along with short term memory and fight or flight reactions is where a temporal lobe seizure begins. During a seizure, the patient may experience emotional fluctuations ranging from déjà vu to sensory hallucinations or from excess happiness to horror.
Though its exact cause may not always be identified, but this condition has a high possibility of resulting from scars or anatomical defects. This condition is often immune to anti-seizure medications. In case only one of the two temporal lobes is defected, surgical removal of the affected region may relieve the patient from the seizures.
The patient should lie down on one side, and the head should be supported with a pillow.
The tongue can't be swallowed. Keeping this in mind, nothing should come in contact with the patient's mouth, since objects can be bitten or inhaled.
The patient shouldn't be restrained. However, he/she should be searched for a medical alert bracelet, which may indicate some information and an emergency contact person.
When seizures recur over an extended period of time, the hippocampus can shrink which is the part of the brain that is in charge of learning and memory. Memory problems may result in the case of brain cell loss in this area.
While children are growing, they may overcome temporal lobe seizures. But this is not always the case, especially when defects or scars are detected while using brain scans. This is especially troublesome due to the need for surgery and resistance of the scars to medication.
Usually, medication alone is not sufficient to control seizures in many people, and these medications have side effects such as weakness and lightheadedness.
Although surgical operations to treat temporal lobe seizures are characterized by high success rates according to the initial cause of the condition, and range from 65% to 90%, but it is not recommended when the defected region contains vital brain functions, or when there are multiple defected regions. Some preparations have to be made before surgery, like brain scans with magnetic resonance and examinations of seizures via video recording and electroencephalogram. Modern radiosurgery research has proved the efficiency of gamma knife in damaging the region of the brain that triggers the seizures, by controlling the exact amount of radiation. This method is still an experimental one since its direct and side effects are virtually unknown right after the operation.
It is always a safe call to get a second opinion before making the surgery decision, since the experience of the surgeon plays a great role in the procedure and may even permanently affect the patient's cognitive abilities. After surgery, medication is still needed to prevent seizures, but with lesser dosage.
In case medications fail or cause serious side effects, a device is implanted in the chest under the collarbone called vagus nerve stimulator, which is wired to the vagus nerve in the neck. Magnetically activated, it can be programmed to meet the operation requirements.
Women with seizures may experience a normal pregnancy period, but it's a safe practice to pre-plan the pregnancy with a physician who may reduce medication prior to pregnancy or even move to another medication if need be. It is recommended that pregnant women avoid valproate since it may affect the child.
Some anti-seizure medications can interfere with the function of oral contraceptive drugs. Medical evaluation is needed to explore potential risks and find solutions.

Finish Restoration: Process of brining an existing finish back to life. Involves re-emulsifying the original finishing solids to return the finish to close to original condition while removing the dirt and grime accumulated over years of use.
Preservation: The process of stopping or slowing deterioration usually does not involve actual restoration or attempts to return the piece to its original condition. Damage and finish deterioration are left intact, but prevented from going further. This process is usually done on museum works; we recommend a conservation or restoration process for home use of antiques.
Refinishing: Removing a finish and applying a new finish in its place. This process destroys significant portions of antique value in furniture and should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
Restoration: Bringing a piece back to close to its original condition including structural and finish repairs.
Stripping: Avoid stripping antiques at almost any cost, stripping in its true sense involves dipping the piece in a chemical bath that will remove finish, patina, and in some cases the glue holding the piece together. A stripped antique is truly stripped, mainly of its value. Veneering may peal, joints will swell or break apart, and the piece usually has to be completely rebuilt. This applies in cases where someone has foolishly stripped the piece in the past and applied inappropriate finishes that must be removed.

Q: Unable to find host using java InetAddress but able to find using curl I have a elasticsearch instance running inside a private network. when I tried to access it using InetAddress, it gives an error: java.net.UnknownHostException:
TransportClient client = new PreBuiltTransportClient(settings)
                .addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress
                        .getByName("http://elasticsearch.myorg.net"), 9200));

However, when i tried to access it using curl command, I am able to get the response.
curl http://elasticsearch.myorg.net:9200

What could be the reason that might cause this issue?

A workaround for me was to use resttemplate https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/client/RestTemplate.html.
It's a pretty neat and simple solution.

A: Use port 9300 instead of 9200.  9200 is for the REST api, 9300 is for inter-cluster communication and Transport Client.

KF has never failed me and I've been ordering for months now. Always fresh, always tasty, and best of all, EVERYTHING is keto! I'm not much of a cook and honestly, I would've given up on keto a long time ago if I hadn't found KF. Trust me, try it once and you'll be hooked.
I would've given it 5 stars easily if I could actually afford to order regularly. Best keto meals ever, no doubt about it, my friends all agree, but these are restaurant prices and considering that the portions aren't big, they could really be lower. I hope the folks from Keto Fridge are reading this, because it really is a shame, I'm sure more people would order if a meal didn't cost 17 bucks.
Chicken Tikki Masala: Very mild flavor and a sodium content of 930 mgm/serving. Won't buy it or other products again.
The meals are pretty bland, not worth the cash.
I like the food and it is really convenient, but there is literally no variety, same meals over and over again.
I'm in college and can't cook, so I occasionally buy Grandcestors meals, just so I have something in the freezer. Not that bad, but not that good either .
If you are on the keto diet and tired of meal delivery services that just claim to be keto-friendly, Keto Fridge was made for you. This meal delivery offers super-delicious prepared meals, snacks, treats, and drinks, all in perfect accordance with the rules of the ketogenic diet.

Have you watched the movie Friday the 13th? Scary, isn't it? Well, perhaps not quite as scary as the infamous Rebecca Black song, "Friday" – but close enough. If you are one of those who carries around a rabbit's foot and strokes it all day long for good luck or makes a wish after blowing away a fallen eyelash – then you are probably in the midst of bolting your doors, turning on all the lights and hiding under the comforting warmth of your comforter. Tomorrow just so happens to be Friday the 13th and if you have friggatriskaidekaphobia – it's simply not a day to be trifled with.
Frigga what you say? And yes, attempting to say it can just as well be as terrifying as its definition. The Friggatriskaidekaphobia phenomenon is a fear of Friday the 13th – a commonly held superstition that has been around for centuries, whichever part of the world you may be in. In Bollywood for example (the Mumbai based Indian film industry), producers hesitate to release movies on Friday the 13th because they fear it is bad luck and their movies might fail to do well at the box office. The stock market slows down on Friday the 13th and people also postpone travel and do not conduct major financial deals and transactions.
But what causes someone to fear a day and a date?
Thomas Gilovich, who chairs the Department of Psychology at Cornell University, seems to think that people fear Friday the 13th because they tend to associate it with bad things or events in their life. "The mind is an associative system and if anything bad happens to you on Friday the 13th, the two will be forever associated in your mind and all those uneventful days in which the 13th fell on a Friday will be ignored," says Gilovich who also mentions that psychology can help us understand how superstitions work and why people do certain things and act in a particular manner.
The Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in North Carolina believes that 17 to 21 million people suffer from a fear of Friday the 13th. Gilovich states that there is no evidence or validity to superstitions and bad luck surrounding Friday the 13th. "People hold a number of beliefs without understanding the basis behind them or where they came from," says Gilovich who also highlights the example of architects and interior designers who will not label the 13th floor of a building.
Daniel Wegner, a psychology professor at Harvard University, has been studying the human tendency to see causal connections, especially where they do not exist, for the last few years. "Our minds cause our actions and other things that happen in the world. It seems that we often believe we are powerful causal agents just because we happen to think of something before it happens!" says Wegner who specializes in apparent mental causation.
So is all this just some medieval mumbo jumbo or something more? Fact or folklore? Paranormal or paranoia? You be the judge.


Last night, my daughter Harley saw Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band live for the first time. It broke my heart a little that the Big Man and Danny Federici weren't going to be there, and for the first time, I didn't do my usual prep for a concert. I didn't study setlists, read articles about the other shows on the tour, or cram by listening to every song ever recorded by Bruce and The Band.
We wondered if she'd get to experience Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out, Badlands, Jungleland, and Born to Run, and how we'd feel about someone else playing Big Man's solos if those songs were performed. She asked me if I thought I'd cry.
Throughout the show, I kept looking for Big Man and Danny. (See Kubler Ross' 5 stages of grief…especially denial.) We didn't see them on the stage, but they were there. I closed my eyes and I heard them. Felt them. Finally, during Tenth Avenue (aka "Roll Call"), it happened.
"Now this is the important part," he said, and sang, "When the change was made uptown…." As he repeated that line gently, pictures of Clarence floated across the huge screens. Jake Clemons (C's nephew) made his way out of the horn section as the Boss sang, "AND THE BIG MAN JOINED THE BAND!" I thought he played this solo (and the others throughout the night) perfectly, which is exactly what we needed. I know I appreciated that Jake didn't improvise–that Miss Harley was able to hear it live, exactly as C would have played it.
As always, if you enjoyed this post, please like, share and/or comment. Pleeeeeease??
Gary and I were big fans of The Boss. And Gary especially liked big Clarence. Actually "Born to Run" was "our song". Not very romantic, but fit us at the time. Gary could sing all of Bruce's songs and sounded very much like him. Lot of memories with the Boss. And so glad that another generation can love him too. Great story. Makes you wish the Beatles were still together (and alive). Some really great artists are gone now. But as you well stated, alive in our memories.
Born to Run is VERY romantic!! I'm so sad I never got to meet your Gary. But so happy to have met you. Thanks for feeding Lois lunch today, by the way!
OMG was Matthew Witte playing the Sax that night????Ha!
