I live in AJ's podcast for your Monday.
Most wonderful show is keeping up with the Joneses.
Hey, AJ Jones.
Hi.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
How are you?
You look like you're fresh back from the Smoky Mountains.
I am fresh back from the Smoky Mountains.
We went away on a romantic camping trip
because I love the outdoors.
That is not true.
We went away for the SOSL leaders retreat.
We did.
We don't call it a retreat though,
because we aren't retreating from anything.
Right. Well, we do call it a retreat though.
We call it a training.
A training. Yeah, we took our.
Training weekend. Yeah.
We took our future small group leaders away
for a weekend of fun-filled adventure in the middle of nowhere.
Yes.
And it wasn't really the middle of nowhere.
Well, it kind of is. There was bears and stuff.
There was. There was bears right side of our cabin, apparently, according to a video.
Yep. And then we drove out of the little neighborhood today and saw four bears,
a mama bear and three bears just walking on the side of the road.
Was Goldio Locks anywhere to be seen?
Ah, they ate her already.
Well, that's not how the story goes, is it?
It was a fun weekend.
I love getting to do those weekends.
Yeah, they're really good.
I love getting to take people who are about to be released into our
culture as leaders and just get to spend time with them and then
getting to know the people who are going to be on our team.
We love it.
In one sense, we've had a year long interview process with them
because they've been students.
Yeah.
In some case, two years, some of our small group leaders are, yeah, or to your
students. So it's fun getting away with them.
Yeah. It's fun because you already know that you really like them, but it's,
it's just fun to get to know them so much better, which you can't do unless you're
spending, you know, serious amounts of time.
Yeah. There's no shortcut to it. Just lock yourself on a cabin with 19 other people.
And then in addition to that, we went to being down a river and we just floated on a river for
a couple hours. So that's exciting. Exciting would be the word I've used.

That's not true.
It was maybe five minutes in, but it was...
I find it very enjoyable, believe it or not.
I do find it quite enjoyable.
Into you?

And it wasn't too hot.
No, it was not.
There was no bugs.
It was really nice.
But why is it just being outside doing nothing in the water makes you hungry?
Seriously, and really tired.
Everybody was exhausted when you get back, and all we did was float down a river on a tube.
On a tube.
All right, let's talk about this week.
Yes, I just wanted to mention that I went cliff jumping.
I know it's not a big cliff, but it was still a cliff,
and therefore I went cliff jumping.
You know what, darling, extreme sports is your middle name.
That's right. I am AJ, extreme Jones.
Okay, very good.
Yeah.
Can I come catch up on a week?
Sure.
Tell me about this week.
Will you spoke at emanate on the topic of feedback, which was awesome.
So, but I think we're going to talk about that a little bit later, yes?
Yeah, I thought about, I thought,
I've had such good feedback this week, and actually I've been pondering it that I thought maybe we'll
dig into it a little bit more deeper in this episode. So yes, I spoke at M&A, we're going to
talk about that probably for our main topic. Was that a train that just went past our house?
Yeah. I have never heard the train. Does the tracks that go by by the school?
That's really stinking loud. I don't know if people can hear this. Is Santa Claus coming?
Does he ride a train? Well, wasn't that the Polar Express? Wasn't the whole movie about that?
-Well, I don't think Santa Claus was on that train.
-Oh.
-Yeah.
-There's been a while.
-Sorry about that.
-What else?
-I have started refinishing the cabinets in our bathroom.
-And it's kind of a beta test for whether or not you're going to refinish the kitchen cabinets.
-Yes.
Or what method that I'll use to refinish the kitchen cabinets.
-You've just decided it's happening one way or another.
-It's got to happen.
It has to happen.
-But there's like a million cabinets in the kitchen.
-I know.
I know. And there's only four in the bathroom.
I know. And it's taking forever just to do the four.
But it's also taking forever because I started on Tuesday and we went out of town on Thursday.
And now it's Sunday and we just got home. So your forever is six days and four of those days
I wasn't here for. So for a little bit of perspective, it actually has only been two days.
Good point. Well made. Dang, you can do math in your head fast.
Yes, I really can.
Yes, I would like to do that.
I love watching her crave your.
Thank you.
I think it's amazing.
Thank you.
I also fed our fruit trees.
You did?
I got fertilizer, things, spike things.
I'm sorry, are you trying to muscle in on my territory?
No, I'm not.
No.
I just knew that I had bought them.
I don't think you knew that I had bought them,
and you were busy changing out a light socket,
which was brilliantly done.
And I just thought I'm thinking about it.
It just rained, the ground is soft.
I'm going to go stick in these fertilizer.
Thanks.
Let's talk about my new foray into the jungle.
Yeah.
You should call me Tarzan from now.
And I'm so at one with nature.
OK.
OK.
Tarzan, you've done a wonderful job.
I really haven't.
So here's what's happened.
We bought a new house, which you probably know about.
And with the house came a garden.
Now, in America, a garden is somewhere
where you grow vegetables and herbs. In the UK where I grew up, your garden is what Americans
would call your lawn or your landscaping. So in our back garden, we have big grassy lawn
and then we have all these flower beds and then we have trees and bushes and I don't
know what any of them are. And so you've heard me talking about how it's a bit perplexing
for me. But I read, because we're reading Proverbs this month, I read the passage in Proverbs on
the 24th. And it says this, "I walked by the field of a lazy person, the vineyard of one with no
common sense, and I saw it was overgrown with nettles, and it was covered with weeds, and its walls
were broken down. And I thought, dear Lord, it's talking about me." So I ventured out into the garden,
"The trouble is your mother-in-law was staying here. That's not the trouble. Your mother-in-law
was staying here." Actually, it's your mother-in-law. It's my mother.
"Oh yeah, your mother, my mother-in-law was staying here
and she put the fear of God into me by saying,
'You cannot trim the bushes or you're gonna destroy them
and they're really nice bushes.'
And so she knows more than I do,
so I just panicked and said, 'I shouldn't do anything.'
And, but then our friend Bill stopped by and I said,
'Hey, do you know what kind of trees or bushes those are?'
And he was like, 'Yeah, of course I do.'
And I was like, 'Of course you do.'
And I didn't realise he was into landscaping.
So he took me on a tour at the garden where he just said,
'This is that and this is that.'
and I was like, "How do you spell that?"
And so I write down all these phonetic spellings
so I could look at Wikipedia to work out what they were
and when you could trim them.
And then I realized I have no tools to trim them.
So Bill said, "Well, I'll just drop off a hedge trimmer."
And I was like, "Oh, great."
So he came around and he showed me
how to turn the hedge trimmer on
and he trimmed a couple of the bushes
and then said, "Ah, you know,
borrow it for a couple of days and have a go."
And I was like, "How difficult can it be?"
And then I realized, you need a whole new skill set
because the thing is really long, it's really heavy.
and it vibrates terribly.
So after using for about 15 minutes to try
and cut my, the overgrown hedges back,
I'm holding this thing above my head,
trying to balance it, trying to cut it.
I came inside because it was scorching hot
and I realized my arms no longer worked.

- I couldn't lift up the soup to my mouth
and I was like, good lord,
My arms don't work and that lasted for two days.
And so then I'm learning to weed a yard.
And I had this revelation.
I thought, you know how you watch people of a certain age
get into gardening?
- Yes.
- I think I've judged them 'cause I'm like,
why are you into gardening?
But I think most people don't get into gardening
because they enjoy it.
They get into gardening because of necessity.
- And then they start to enjoy it.
- Well, I'm not quite there yet.
Although there is the inklings in the beginnings of that
because I've been out weeding several times this week
early in the morning because it gets so hot.
And not because I'm into it,
not because I'm waking up thinking,
"Mm, I'd love to weed my garden."
But I'm thinking, "If I don't, it turns into a jungle."
With the combination of the humidity and the rain.
- Yeah.
- It's great, like mushrooms appear in my garden.
- You should see my basil plant right now.
It's huge.
I was looking at it thinking,
"I need to figure out something to do
with about 48 pounds of basil.
- Right, but you see the rate of that grows out?
- Yeah.
- That's how the weeds grow.
- Yeah.
- So I've been out and I think I'm enjoying it.

So I just, I'm left to my own thoughts.
Do you wanna know some embarrassing?
- Sure.
- You know the little mats that old ladies have
in their gardening. They know what they're talking about. I bought one and saved my
knees. I'll take a picture, folks, and post it to the internet for you. It stops. It stops
your knees getting damp and cold. Well, that's good, isn't it? Anyway, I'm trying not to
be the person in Proverbs who was lazy and had their yard overtaken by weeds and nettles.
I don't think we even grow nettles in Tennessee, so you're probably safe. I'm not trying to
grow anything, but there's mushrooms that are appearing.
And I have pulled out nettles, actually.
Anyway, I'm a little overwhelmed by the extent of what I don't know, but I am
learning thanks to friends and families and neighbors who are giving me incredible
input and lending me their power tools.
Yeah, we're really blessed to have the people around us that do know what they're
doing to at least advise us.
Correct.
So we're going to talk today about the whole topic you were talking about on Monday night,
which was feedback and receiving feedback.
Right.
Cause receiving feedback sounds something like a really good thing to do.
Yes.
But it's really difficult to do.
It's really difficult to do, but it seems fairly important and it is one of the major
themes in reading through proverbs.
Right.
So we've been reading through proverbs this month, doing our hashtag wisdom 31, the idea
that you read whatever day is, you read that chapter.
And so when you read a book of the Bible,
you begin to see the themes.
So like one of the themes is get wisdom.
Wisdom is amazing.
You absolutely want wisdom.
- Yeah.
I, when we were, you know, talking about this earlier
and just talking about speaking on wisdom
and the importance of getting wisdom,
I was remembering the whole story
of when Solomon takes over,
takes over his dad's kingdom and the thing that he asked for in 2 Chronicles 1 is actually wisdom.
So if you go down to verse 7, it says that night, God appeared to Solomon and God said,
"What do you want from me?" Just ask. And Solomon answered, "You were extravagantly generous
with David, my father, and now you have made me king in his place. Establish God, the words you
spoke to my father, for you've given me a staggering task ruling this mob of people.
Yes, give me wisdom and knowledge as I come and go among the people, for who on his own is capable
of leading these your glorious people? And God answered Solomon, "This is what has come out of
your heart. You didn't grasp for money, wealth, fame, and the doom of your enemies. You didn't
even ask for a long life. You asked for wisdom and knowledge so you could govern well my people
over whom I have made you king. Because of this, you get what you asked for, wisdom and knowledge,
and I'm presenting you the rest as a bonus, money, wealth, and fame beyond anything
the kings before you or after ever have had or will have. And it just made me think about,
You know, it made God's heart happy that Solomon asked for wisdom and he was, you know, the wisest man alive.
And it served him well.
Right. That's the thing I've been thinking about is the way the Lord implores us to get wisdom.
You know, when you read through Proverbs, it's the recurring thing, get wisdom, get wisdom, get wisdom.
And I think I've been sad to realize that for most of my life, I've actually wanted my own way rather than I've wanted wisdom.
Right.
But when you get wisdom, you get all these other amazing things.
Like the book of Proverbs says that when you get wisdom, you get joy.
When you get wisdom, you get long life. When you get wisdom, you get friends.
When you get wisdom, you get wealth.
And so I've just been renewing this request in my heart.
Lord, I want wisdom above everything else.
I want wisdom. Give me wisdom. Grant me wisdom.
Yeah.
And the beautiful thing is, is that if you want wisdom, scripture says you can get wisdom really,
really easily. You just ask him for it. But the way wisdom comes is through listening.
Yeah. The trouble with that is we think we like listening. As a general rule, we all think we're
good listeners. Right. But the kind of listening the Bible is talking about is not the, hmm,
let me listen objectively and selectively and decide what I'm going to go away with.
Right.
Typically, Proverbs, when it's talking about listening, it's talking about being corrected
-because you don't know what you're doing. -Right.
And so suddenly, we say that we like listening, but do we like being corrected?
No, we don't.
-I don't. -No.
I don't think anybody does.
It's listening that requires action, isn't it?
And it'd be, we'd sort of like it to just be listening that would fix something without us doing, making any effort.
So, correction is listening that requires action.
Yeah.
How about this?
A proper 15 verse five, nice gentle verse.
It says, "Only a fool despises a parent's discipline,
whoever learns from correction is wise."
Yeah.
The trouble is when people come and correct you,
they're doing so because you're already wrong and none of us like to be wrong.
Right.
So rather than appreciating that they're trying to help us out of something,
I think usually our first gut reaction is to prove that they're wrong.

Maybe it's just like a,
"I don't know if you're safe.
"I'm not gonna receive your correction."
I think you can do that if it's maybe one person
who really isn't interested in your life
and you know that it's just,
this is the way that they do things.
But often what will happen is,
if the Lord is actually trying to bring correction,
you'll start getting the same message
from a number of different places, won't you?
- Yeah, and then what you think is,
"Man, all these people are so wrong."
- Right.
realize, oh wait, I'm the common denominator in this particular equation.
Exactly.

Yeah, those are strong words.

But when we are faced with correction or when we are faced with feedback, we
are the ones that are, at least in my life, I'm like, yeah, I'm not so sure
about that.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Uh, you know, I think that's probably you.
Yeah.
So why is correction so hard to receive?
I think probably because we confuse our actions with our identity.
So being corrected doesn't feel very good because we feel like we're being challenged
about ourselves rather than our behavior.
So it feels like it's, well, you're saying a deep thing about me rather than, hey, can
I tell you how I'm experiencing you?

Right.
We're only experts at what we think we're behaving like, but it's other people who are the experts in experiencing our behaving.
Yes.
Did I just confuse everybody?
No, that's fine.
I think that makes sense.
I remember when I was a school teacher, I'd have my students write report cards on me, and it was simultaneously the best thing and the worst thing because the first year I did it, I had in my head like, "I'm a great teacher.
I'm an awesome teacher.
All my kids love me.
me. I'm funny, I'm great, I'm well prepared. And the only thing that was right about that
was you are well prepared. Like universally they said you are not funny, please stop making
jokes. And when I dug deeper into that, what I realized is all of my jokes, which I thought
were hysterical, were actually at the expense of other students. And what that made them
feel was unsafe. Like, oh, if we're all laughing at Bob one day,
We're all going to be laughing at me.
Right.
And so I, it was only when I read the universal consensus was, please don't make jokes that
I realized, oh, I don't get to decide if I'm funny or not.
They get to decide if I'm funny or not.
And that that's just a hard message to, I mean, not that you're not funny.
I just mean, hearing from an outside source, how other people are experiencing you is a
really humbling thing.
Yeah.
I think too though, like just viewing it from the perspective of leadership, the times where
we've had to correct somebody and they've taken it really well.
I mean, I don't know if it's weird to say it this way, but I just go, "Wow, I get really
impressed with people that can take correction and do something with it without getting personally
offended."
Do you know what I mean?
Like, "Oh gosh, well, that's not what I was trying to do or that wasn't my heart
motivation that wasn't, that's not the experience I wanted you to have.
So let me correct that, like let me go away and sort that out.
And that whole thing of teachability, teachability means you can take correction.
And teachability, isn't that you will just survive a good talking to, but
actually will change according to the correction that you've received.
And scripture says when you do that, you actually learn wisdom.
That requires a whole load of trust that the person who's telling you this
feedback knows what they're talking about.
Yeah.
Well, you probably heard lots of people say at different times that you learn
more from your mistakes than you do from getting it right.
And I think that that's true.
You know, getting it right, you don't usually retain that, but you remember
when you've gotten it wrong and how it needed to be fixed.
Whether we like or not, the thing is all the way through scripture.
That request is repeated over and over again.
Like Proverbs 15, verse 32 says, if you listen to correction, you grow
an understanding. When I was speaking on Monday night, I came up with five reasons why we
find it hard to receive correction. Yeah. Or like five common reactions that keep us
from hearing what people are trying to say. Yeah. I'm going to recap them for our listeners.
All right, go for it. Well, number one is we think we've heard it before. What does that
mean? Well, it's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I already know that I'm X, Y, or Z. And we can
dismiss it because I've already heard it before and I'm sure I've changed.
Or you've absorbed that as being okay as part of your personality.
Oh dear.
Is that where we're going to go?
But it's for you.

And I'm like, yes, my personality.
Right.
But actually I don't want people to experience bluntness from me.
I want them to experience the love of God.
Right.
So well, that's the thing we we think that we've heard it before and we think we're listening.
But if we're needing to hear again, it's because we didn't actually hear it before.
Yeah. That's a trouble. Yeah.  Yeah. That they're oh, it's their issue.
It's your unique perspective. But again, usually what ends up happening is you start hearing that
unique perspective from a number of different people and you realize it's not a unique perspective.
it is many people's perspective.
Well, I think it's, you know, when people come and give you correction, they're the
kind messenger.
I remember my good friends, Glenn and Anna, who we just spent vacation with in summer.
I remember a number of years ago, they tried their best to confront me and they sat me
down and they're like, "Oh, here are some things we see in your life."
And I did the good Christian response of like, "Oh, oh, well, thanks so much for sharing
that with me.
I'm going to go pray about it.
I want to wait and pray about it."
concluded that they were wrong and went on my merry way, like they were just too sensitive
or you know, whatever. And then I started working for somebody who was a combination of Adolf Hitler
and Darth Vader. Oh, nice. And did you talk like this?
Yeah. No, because he wasn't an asthmatic word. Duke, I am your father.
Why you saying car? I don't know because I can't make that sound effective.
Sorry, go on. Dark Vader. He was just a nightmare to work for.
And very quickly I realized, oh, God's put me in a situation where I have a mirror in front of me.
And actually, all the things that Glenn and Anna were trying to bring up in me are evident in my
boss. And now, now I have a fuller view of how I'm being experienced, like the very things I hated
about working for this man, I realized these are the very things that my friends are trying to
point out to me that I didn't listen to the kind messenger and now I'm enduring the hard messenger.
Here's the kindness of God. He's so intent on us becoming what he paid for that he would love to
work with us to become fashioned in the likeness of Christ. You'll see to it that it happens,
but he would really love it if we would work with him, not in opposition to him.
And you see that time and time again all through scripture, you see it with the people of Israel
that he was like, "Oh, I would love to take you to the promised land.   So I feel like that with the Lord, he constantly extends arms of kindness to you.
And for not ready, he's like, "Oh, that's totally fine. I'll just be here waiting for you when you're
already and then we reap some of the consequences of our poor decisions. But yeah, I think back
to what you said, babe, that if everybody's giving you the same feedback, not everybody
can be wrong.
Right. I remember at one point, and this is probably in a season where I was getting
a lot of correction, but I remember just making a commitment to the Lord that each quiet time
I would bring any confronted issues to him and just be like,
okay, Lord, this person confronted me about that now.
I don't see it, you know, or sometimes I did see it,
but most times I didn't.
And I would be like, I don't see it, but would you talk to me about that?
And I think every single time the Lord had something to say about it.
And I was like, Oh, it's, it's there.
It might not be the motivation.
The motivation might not be the same as what that person thought it was,
But what they're experiencing, it's true.
I was doing that.
So I mean, it's, it's just wise, I think, to just be able to receive whatever it is that people want to bring to you and just take it to God and ask him, you know, Lord, what do you want to say to me about this?
What about this dynamic?
This was number three where we actually don't like the packaging.
We dismiss the feedback because we don't like the packaging.
Right.
about packaging. I mean, we don't like the person who gives us the feedback, or we don't like the
way in which that feedback was given. That's the easiest. I would say that's what happens most
often when we throw it out. It's just we're like, "Oh, that person doesn't know me," or "That
person doesn't love me," or "We have issues already with that person because there are parents,"
or "Whatever the deal is," and so we don't ask for the truth in the midst of it.
And in not doing that, we miss out on the wisdom that the Lord's trying to bring us.
What about when that person's your spouse?
Oh, I don't know.
I mean, we never have any of these kind of moments to eat, darling.
No idea what you're talking about.
Well, it was just a couple of months ago that we were having a somewhat heated discussion.
Yes, heated fellowship.
Well, intense fellowship.
Intense fellowship.
You were trying to communicate to me, and I was sure that you were wrong.
So I was just talking over you to convince you that I was right.
And apparently you didn't appreciate that.
I didn't.
And so you were escalating.
And meanwhile, the Holy Spirit says to me, he said, Alan, and I said, yeah.
And the Lord said to me, she's the only other eyewitness in the room.
Yeah.
Like in a in a police statement, they'd go around and they'd take the eyewitness
report and get some corroborating data.
Right.
And the law was like, you keep giving your report.
Why don't you actually listen to her report and see what's there?
What's present?
What's consistent?
Right.

So why am I slow to receive what she's trying to tell me?
Yeah, I remember you.
I remember this whole thing just because I was shocked by just like mid conversation,
mid argument, mid heated discussion.
You just stopped and went, "Okay, tell me how you experienced to me," and whatever.
I thought, "This is a trick. What are you doing?" I was cautious.  You were like, "Well, the Lord just spoke to me and said,
'Hey, she's the only other eyewitness.'" It's alarming when you think like that.
Our pastor Jeff says this.
He says, what would it look like if you were wrong?
Yeah.
Like consider for a moment, what would it look like if you were wrong?
Would it look like your spouse is trying to give you feedback?
Is would it look like your boss is trying to give you feedback?
Are your friends distancing themselves from you because they're tired of you
lawyering up every time they come and try and give you feedback?
And when you look at it in that perspective, I was like, huh, what would it look
like if I was wrong?
Suddenly the landscape changes a little bit.
like, "Oh, it might look like this moment right here."
You tweeted out something this week, I think a couple of days ago, which brings
them to number four, the fourth reason that we perhaps aren't very good at receiving feedback,
and that's because we don't trust other people's reports. We don't trust why they're telling us
that. What was the thing that you tweeted out? I think what I tweeted out was the Bill Johnson
quote where he says, "We are at our dumbest when we think we know the motivations of another person's
heart. And I think most often we do think that. We think we know the motivation. And so if they're
trying to, for example, bring us correction, we write it off because we think we understand,
we know the motivation of their heart. Again, instead of being able to receive feedback,
we just think, well, you're saying that because of this or like because of something that's going
on in their own heart or their own life, or you're just triggering. So we write it off to being
something about them instead of something about us. Or we think they're just mean or controlling,
or especially if it's an authority figure. It's amazing how we can come up with all the
reasons why our authority figures are wrong when they're trying to do the very thing that God's
asked them to do, which is watch over us as people who are going to give an account.
Danny said, "Does this brilliant teaching on honor?" He said, "Culture of honor can only exist
in a healthy culture of confrontation because it's not actually honoring if I just go around
telling you you're amazing, but never tell you about the things that are keeping you from being
more amazing. The last one, number five, was the bit that I felt like the Lord, I felt like I had
brand new perspective when he showed me that I do this. This is probably the biggest reason I think
that I'm not good at receiving correction from people, is we confuse the message we are hearing
with the one being given. So when you come to me and you say, Hey, Alan, I feel like this
when you do or say this, what you are telling me is, Hey, I've experienced you in this way.
Because you love me, you want to know that. I'm experiencing you in a way that I know is
contrary to your heart. But what I hear is, you're a bad person, and this is what you've done wrong,
and I'm questioning your motives. But that's not, you're just, you're giving me feedback on my
behavior, not on my motives. But we instinctively rush to say, well, how did you come to that conclusion?
Because that was never my intent. That was never my motives. Not realizing there's a disconnect
between our motives and our actions. Right. Yeah, you're back to kind of where we started at the
beginning, right, with thinking that correction is talking about you as a person rather than your
That whole thing of the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It's basically saying,
"Lord, I actually trust your perspective of things even when I don't understand your perspective
of things." That's the beginning of wisdom. I think parallel with that, if you think about what
required to take correction, honestly, is me willing to trust your report of me even if it differs
from my report of me. I think there's a parallel there. Proverbs 29 verse 1 says,
Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery.
There's a chewy verse for your hallmark.
-Good night. -Good night.
But the opposite of that is Brothers 25, 12 says, "To one who listens, valid criticism is like a
gold earring or other gold jewelry." -So good.
-So if we want to be wise, we have to get good at listening.
-Yep.
-And if we're going to get good at listening, it means we have to actually accept feedback.
and if we're going to have to accept feedback, we have to understand sometimes it sounds like
criticism. And if we're going to accept that, we can't be quick to dismiss or judge people's
motives. But we actually honestly and earnestly want to listen.
Yeah. It might be wise to like, if somebody gives you a piece of criticism or a piece of correction
and you're not sure about it, go to other people that experience you on a regular basis and just
just say, "Hey, could you talk to me about your experience of me?
Seek out feedback and see if stuff's lining up, but you'd have to give them the freedom
to be able to say exactly what they need to say and not feel like they have to sugarcoat it."
Well, that's the thing that I've been thinking is what avenues have we given to the loved ones
in our lives to give us honest feedback? Have we created opportunities and avenues for our loved
ones.  Yeah. Like I'm not going to be a scary person to confront. Yeah. Because if we haven't,
we could be stunting our growth and wisdom. Yeah. And wisdom leads to all these awesome things. So
anyway, that's stuff that I've been, I know I spoke on on Monday, but it was a message to me,
and I've been pondering all week. I've just been ruminating on it. So I'll let's encourage
to you today.
Yes, really good.
All right.
You're ready for a listening question.
I am.
All right.
This is from Johnny.
Johnny asks, I'm a very passionate, determined and driven person.
You know, the kind who will stop at nothing to accomplish a goal.
I have a two pronged query.
Number one, how does someone like me allow themselves to rest with God
and appreciate what they've accomplished before moving to the next step
in the growth process?
And number two, do you have any tips for remembering that God's schedule
is the important one, not mine, that my life is moving according to God's time, however
driven or impatient I may be. Thanks and I love you both. The tour is much easier with
the podcast keeping me grounded.
Jenny, so good to hear your question. And I guess just in thinking about rest and how
important it is, it doesn't come naturally to most people. I've had to learn to rest
and I have seasons where I'm still not very good at resting.
And the Lord will often call me up short on that.
But so rest doesn't come easy.
It's something you learn.
It's something that you have to work at.
- You know, Johnny, you describe yourself as somebody
who's passionate and determined
and the kind of person who will stop
at nothing to accomplish a goal.
If that's you, where do you think he got it from?
Because God is more passionate, more determined
and more at stopping at nothing
till his goal is accomplished than any of us.
And yet we read in scripture that he stopped, he rested,
and he looked back on the work that he'd been doing.
Like in the creation account,
he created the world in six days,
and on the seventh day he could have kept going,
but he was like, I'm gonna stop, I'm gonna review,
I'm gonna evaluate.
- Yeah.
- It's good.
- Yeah, I mean, and then he made that day holy,
a day of rest holy.
- Right.
- So I think particularly in North American culture,
we're not particularly good at valuing rest.
I guess when I ponder that, I think about most other countries in the world other than Canada
and the US have way more vacation set aside, way more value on rest and relaxing and that
kind of stuff.
Southern part of Europe has ceased us for good and safe.
Right.

Yeah.
I mean, and then you think about, again, Europe with their, the average person gets six weeks
of vacation and then it just goes up from there.

You know, so it's like, okay, there's something a little bit of skew in our culture where
we're so, we're so good at striving that rest feels foreign or it feels wrong, but it isn't
wrong.
And it isn't foreign because you're creating God's image and he could rest so you can rest
too.
Also speaking from experience, I've found that if you don't learn this valuable lesson of
of resting from life,
life will ensure you rest at some point.
And sadly, that's called burnout.
So it's better to schedule rest.
- Yeah, or sickness.
- Yeah.
- Then be forced to rest.
- Yeah.
- So yeah, it's a discipline.
It's a skill.
It's like anything else.
You learn to do it.
You schedule and you make time to do it.
What about a second question, babe?
- Your second question was the one about having any tips
of remembering that God's schedule is the important one
not your own. I think God gives you constant reminders on that.
Right.
I mean, he will try and peek into your day as often as you will let him and as
often as you will listen. I definitely think reading your Bible will help as
well, keep you centered and keep you focused on God's timeline. But I mean,
it is hard to wait.
It really is.
It's really hard to me.
Which is why it says in the Psalms, wait patiently.
Yeah.
I mean, if it didn't add that word patiently, you could be forgiven for saying
I've waited. Nothing's happening.
But seriously, God is, passages this that delay is one of God's most effective tools
in his toolbox for producing character.
Yeah.
So he's good at reminding us we're on his schedule by making things take longer than
we would wish them to be.

You're doing something there."
Yeah.
And of course hindsight is always 2020.
But when I think back on like the times when I was like, I'm ready, put me in coach, you
know, this is taking too long.
God, what's up?
I'm so glad now looking back that he didn't put me in when I thought I was ready because
I so wasn't ready.
But you always think you are in the moment.
True.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, Johnny, thanks for writing in.

Thu Dec 31, 2020
It’s been five years since the release of the first Apple Watch and I’ve held off on getting one until now. I’m glad I waited.
In September, I wrote that the Apple Watch Series 6 release was decidedly mundane. Yet, it is precisely its mediocrity that convinced me to get one. When new functionality and design changes start to taper off, you know that all the low-hanging fruit has been picked. This plateau is a strong sign that a product has reached its peak.
That’s not to say that there aren’t any more wearable innovations to be had - only that future innovations will be slow and hard won.
As always, these are my thoughts and impressions, pros and cons. This is not really a thorough review - there are many writers out there who are paid to rigorously test and evaluate tech products. If you’re looking to make a purchase decision, you should go and read those.
 But if you’re interested in the Apple Watch Series 6 at all, read on.
I opted for the traditional 44mm Space Grey aluminium case with a black Solo Loop. While the new red and blue colours may appeal to existing Apple Watch owners looking for a reason to upgrade, black complements most band colours and materials and is perfect for new users.
As expected, the Solo Loop band is hard to size correctly without trying it on first. I ordered one size down and it is quite snug but I’m hoping it will loosen up over time. The stretchy silicone is very soft and comfortable though. Incidentally, the solo loop seems custom-made for the blood oxygen sensor as it keeps the watch snug on your wrist and is easy to slide further up your arm for an accurate reading.
If you want to amass a watch band collection, official Apple Watch bands are unsurprisingly expensive. Thankfully, you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on new watch bands. I’ve bought a few $10 bands from Aliexpress and they are very good for the price. Given the generic design of the watch case, a nice leather or stainless steel band really does let you sport a more casual or formal look.
The build quality of this watch is better than I expected. Sure, it’s no rolex passed down from your granddaddy, but compared to the countless knockoffs and cheap smartwatches out there, you get what you pay for. There is no doubt that this is a well-made object. It also has a bright, crisp, OLED screen with LTPO backplane technology. When countless reviewers say that the Apple Watch is the best smartwatch, they’re not wrong.
But what I’ve come to really appreciate about the Apple Watch is that it really belongs to Tim Cook. Steve Jobs was famously ambivalent about his health. Indeed, his ambivalence may have cost him his life. Steve would not have appreciated the Watch’s gentle nudges to breathe deeply for one minute or stand if you’ve been sitting for too long. Tim Cook is a more well-rounded CEO when it comes to quality of life, or at least tries to be.
If you haven’t done so already, listen to a rare interview with Tim Cook on the Outside Podcast. As he strolls around the landscaped greenery at the centre of the new Apple Park spaceship, his appreciation for nature and staying active shines through. As he stops to muse over the orchard of trees that bear fruit (free for Employees to eat in the cafeteria), it all makes sense. And what a great symbolic tribute to Steve Jobs’ time on the Apple farm in his youth.
Health and wellness is now at the core of the Apple Watch - the right focus after a disjointed arrival in 2015 when nobody could figure out the watch’s raison d’être. When it comes to its health sensors, though, I think most reviewers miss the point. Yes, you may only take an ECG or blood-oxygen reading once or twice before forgetting about it after the novelty wears off. But it is the aggregation of data over many months and years that is most valuable, as the watch continuously monitors and analyzes key metrics.
From irregular heart rhythm notifications to the fluctuations in VO2 max that indicate a rise or fall in your cardio fitness level - it is the cumulative quantitative data that is most useful in showing whether your overall health is trending up or down.
Yet, although the health component is far more advanced than many other smartwatches, what I am enjoying most about the Apple Watch is its tight integration into the Apple ecosystem. Call it a “bait and switch” or “ecosystem lock-in” if you want to, but if you already have an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and MacBook, the usefulness of the Apple Watch increases exponentially with each device.
The difference between any other smartwatch and the Apple Watch quickly becomes clear once you start to use it in conjunction with other Apple devices.
Take notifications for instance. With the “other” guys, notifications buzz, beep, and bloop on every device all at once. In the Apple ecosystem, you only get a notification on the device you’re using. For example, if you’re looking at your iPhone, you’ll only get incoming notifications on your phone, not on your watch or anywhere else.
The use cases start stacking up into a cohesive whole: My MacBook unlocks instantly if I’m wearing my watch. I can triage reminders, or create them by raising my wrist and speaking to Siri (when it works - more on that later). I can control my Hue lights from my wrist or my podcasts or music. My podcasts sync with my iPhone and remember where I left off on either device! The Remote app lets me control navigation and playback on my Apple TV (I can’t overstate how convenient it is to have the remote always there on my wrist - not lost in the couch cushions somewhere).
I couldn’t do any of this with my Samsung Gear Fit, which seems woefully inadequate now. The third-party app ecosystem is also better than the Android Wear equivalent. Even Google has eschewed its own wearables platform and released a YouTube music app for Apple Watch - but not for Android Wear.
The most satisfying part for me personally is that I hardly have to ever pick up my phone anymore. If I had a new phone, I’d be somewhat conflicted about this. But given that my iPhone 6S is so outdated, I don’t really want to stare at it much.  And given the terrible battery life of my 6S, it’s a lifesaver that my watch still receives texts and phone calls (on WiFi) when my phone powers off.
I think that covers most of what I like, so let’s take a minute and talk about what I don’t like.
I can summarize what I don’t like in one word: inconsistency. Unfortunately, if it happens too often, inconsistency breeds mistrust. Fortunately, Apple’s regular software updates go a long way into re-establishing trust that they are committed to the user experience over the long term.
For example, I had set up a few automations to change my watch face and turn the always-on display on or off at certain times of the day. Then one day, they just stopped working. A couple of weeks later, after a software update, they sprang back to life.
Siri is not the best AI assistant out there and let’s be honest - saying Siri is “inconsistent” is just being polite. I love the idea of raising your wrist to talk to Siri, but it often doesn’t work, which is frustrating, especially when you’re trying to go hands-free. Using the annoying “Hey Siri” prefix doesn’t work any better, as the phone in my pocket responds instead.
Other annoyances include a propensity to constantly lock if the strap is a bit loose (requiring the passcode to unlock) and a hit-or-miss handwashing timer. It seems that this feature was fast-tracked after COVID-19 hit. But these are minor gripes in a smartwatch that, overall, I’m very happy with.
I should mention that I was looking forward to my three-month trial of the new Fitness+ service, but it’s a non-starter for me. You need the latest Apple TV to use it on your TV, and my Apple TV 3 doesn’t make the cut. These are typical Apple upgrade tactics. Either try to follow along with the workout instructor on your tiny iPhone screen, or buy a $200 streaming box nobody needs anymore. You also can’t Airplay Fitness+ to your Apple TV - whether intentionally or because of some technical limitation. It doesn’t work on the Mac either. I’m hoping that the broken Airplay support is a bug, but I’m not holding my breath.
Okay, 2020 is finally over - it is now New Year’s Eve. Unlike just about every New Year’s Eve prior, there won’t be any large crowds gathered in Times Square or bars packed with drunk revellers. At the last minute, the government has banned liquor sales after 8PM, you know, to make sure all citizens have good judgement tonight. Never mind the fact that this order has created long lineups as people desperately stockpile their booze. Sigh.
 Although I hear that they’ve all gone into anaphylactic shock after injecting the rushed vaccine.
I just can’t be all that optimistic about 2021, but let’s all take a page from Ted Lasso’s book here (great show on Apple TV by the way). They say it’s the hope that kills you. But that is wrong - hope is all we have. Be a goldfish.

--- layout: post title: Week 2 - Write, Read, Study category: Reflections ---
My commitment to blogging more frequently is off to a rough start. It has been three weeks since my last blog post. I don't think it is a coincidence that this blog post and the previous one were both written on Saturday's that I did not have to travel back and forth from Philadelphia to New York, but I don't like making excuses, and I should be blogging more often than once a week. I will get better at this.
I have been doing a better job at reading more. As previously mentioned I finished Influence: Science And Practice, I also read Why's Poignant Guide To Ruby, and am making it a habit to read Hacker News every day. This should lead to me blogging more frequently and about interesting topics.
I am currently reading Mastery by Robert Greene. I am about a third of the way through and it has been great so far. It is one of those books that motivates you while you read it. I have been faithfully taking notes throughout the book, and will be doing a full review as soon as I finish.
I no longer have to make the commute every Saturday from Philly to NYC because my Codecademy Labs class is officially over. It was a great experience that I am very fortunate to of had. I got to meet some really cool, interesting, and smart people, and I honestly believe I learned more from the students than they learned from me over the last 12 weeks. Fortunately, I am still currently working at Codecademy. I am currently helping them to develop content in a contract to hire position. It would be great if they do decide to hire me full time at the end of the contract.
I did not write any code on any of my projects this week. I made a few commits to a private Codecademy repo, but they do not count. I need to spend more time writing code.
I have simplified what I need to work on into three things:
Specific details for each of these will be listed in short term goals
I have put more thought into my long term goals so they are different from last weeks post. Ideally, these goals should be consistent each week until I accomplish them, or have a good reason to pivot.
Current number of books read: 0
My New Years goal for 2016 is going to be to read 100 books for the year. This mini-goal is to help me develop the habit of reading everyday.
Three things I am grateful for this week are:
I do not think I could of asked for a greater group of students. This was my first time teaching a class, and they were all so passionate about wanting to learn and willing to work together that it made my job easy. I loved learning so many interesting things about why they decided to take the Labs Class and how many of them were already doing some form of coding in their job despite never really learning it. I have also been really touched by how many of them have reached out to recruiters and companies they currently work at to try and find me full-time work. I never asked any of them to do that, and the fact that they did is just awesomely nice.
Kind of corny they make it on this list two weeks in a row right? But if the hat fits wear it. I am very grateful once again for Codecademy because they have given me an opportunity with this contract to hire position. All I can ever ask for is a chance to prove myself and I really appreciate them giving me this chance.
I had no idea who Gary Vaynerchuk was until a few days ago. I recently subscribed to his YouTube channel and am now a huge fan. He can be a little rough with his language, but I like how passionate he is when me talks, and he is a great source of inspiration to work hard and hustle. I am grateful that he has dedicated so much of his time to making videos and giving talks because I am now benefiting from all of his hard work.
Thanks for reading.

11 days ago, I decided to try an experiment with some 5-MeO-DMT that I had laying around. I had ordered 250mg of it from a certain vendor and not been all that fond of it. I and tried both snorting and smoking it, starting at very low doses with the intention of working up. However, even at very low doses (10mg snorted, and around 10mg smoked, with an accurate scale) I had very uncomfortable feelings in my body, which I assumed was the body load that is characteristic of tryptamines with a 5-MeO. I wanted to break through, but I didn't really have the guts to snort or smoke any more of it because I knew that it I'd feel pretty shitty. I had ordered some Peganum Harmala seeds a long time ago and had them laying around, so I figured I'd combine them.
Let me take a step back and describe my previous experience with psychedelics, as it plays pretty strongly into why I did what I did. I've only tripped on mushrooms once, about two and a half years ago, on a half eighth. It was my first trip ever, and a fabulously enjoyable experience. I've played with Morning Glory and Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds, having one trip on each of them, and while I found them enjoyable, I didn't pursue them further because of the difficulty of ingestion (terrible taste!). About three months ago, I found my first RC vendor and started experimenting with them.
Over the course of those three months, my fellow psychonauts and I (a group of twelve, but very infrequently did we all trip together, usually it was no more than four or five, and very frequently just myself and one or two others) have gone through 2 grams of 2C-I, 1 gram of 2C-E, and .5G of 2C-T-2. We have all gotten to know these compounds intimately, myself more than the others naturally because I did them more often. I can very easily tell the difference between all three of them, if I were given a random sample I'd be able to tell you which one it was within two hours of ingestion. I consider myself a very experienced tripper, and am very familiar with the experience. So, considering myself ready for anything, I thought that I'd be able to start right in on a medium level dose of oral 5-MeO-DMT and be fine.
I read up on Ayahuasca in Tihkal (I own the book) and researched online, and decided on 5g of Peganum Harmala seeds and 30mg of 5-MeO-DMT. I chose such a high dose of Peganum Harmala because I wanted the full, immersive Ayahuasca experience, not just enough MAO inhibition to allow the 5-MeO-DMT to work. I chose the 30mg dose of 5-MeO-DMT. I figured I'd go with the middle ground, not too high, but not cautiously low either. I ground up the seeds and put them into gel caps, and it just so happened that they fit perfectly into ten capsules. I took one capsule every five minutes for fifty minutes, and then on the sixtieth minute I took the 30mg capsule of 5-MeO-DMT.
Within a half hour of beginning my ingestion, I thought that I was off-baseline a little, and thought that I might be seeing some patterning, but I wasn't really sure, and I also felt totally normal. Was I tripping? Was it placebo? Probably a bit of both, so I decided to stop thinking about it and just let it happen. By the time I took my last Peganum Harmala capsule, the patterning was definitely there, but it wasn't very intense, and I had to look for it. It was with great anticipation that I took the 5-MeO-DMT capsule.
Within five minutes of taking it, I was feeling something. I had an empty stomach, so it didn't surprise me. I felt the same uncomfortable feeling in my head that I felt when smoking and snorting it, the exact feeling I was hoping to avoid by taking it orally. Why I thought it wouldn't be there orally I'm not sure, but it made sense at the time. That kind of irked me, but I figured that if I was already feeling that at five minutes, there would be no doubt that I was going to break through, which is what I wanted.
Ten minutes after taking the capsule, I was feeling pretty sick and tripping pretty hard. I was in a very strange headspace, one I've never been in before. I was perfectly normal, but yet I was absolutely, totally gone. I knew there would be no way for me to walk home. I decided to go and lay down somewhere. I was at a park, so I went to a nearby uninhabited and abandoned school and hid behind some bushes and laid down. At that point, perhaps fifteen minutes after taking the 5-MeO-DMT, I was tripping harder than I'd ever tripped in my life, and I knew that I had a long way to go. I tried unsuccessfully to make myself vomit. I knew that I had to get the stuff out of me, but it wasn't happening.
My visual field was totally altered, colors were vibrant beyond belief, the patterns were so intense that they weren't even there anymore, everything was made out of fractals. I started to claw at the ground, but I wasn't sure why. I had to do it, it was voluntary, yet I couldn't control it, I couldn't stop it, but I was in control of it. I clawed so hard at the ground that I actually took about an inch and a half of dirt off of an area about a square foot in size.
At that point, my memory stops. The next place it picks up, I'm in a different place, still hiding in bushes, having sex. At least, I thought I was having sex, but I wasn't really. I remember thinking 'Wow, I've been waiting all my life for this and it's finally happening! It's pretty awesome, no doubt, but it's not as big a deal as I've worked it up to be.' It felt fantastic. Again, my memory stops. I woke up in a hospital bed the next day with an IV in my arm, absolutely covered in scratches and scrapes that had very painfully scabbed over, and my parents by my side. I had no idea how the scratches got there.
While I was laying in the bed, It felt like I was dreaming some very strange dreams. I remembered talking to one of my fellow psychonauts, a friend of mine who'd only tripped with me once, on 2C-T-2. He was talking to me, but I wasn't saying anything back. 'Hey man, what's up. ... Are you tripping? ... How much did you take? ... Are you going to be alright?' That's all I remembered of the dream. It was very peculiar. After talking to my parents a bit, they told me that it was in fact him that found me and called 911. The strange dream memory actually happened! I was astounded by that realization, as it seemed totally unreal.
My friend thought I was on 2C-I, as it was what I usually had around and shared, and told that to the policeman who arrived before the ambulance. I found out that they had been unable to restrain me at my local hospital, so they rushed me to a much larger hospital in the cities. They said they gave me massive doses of antipsychotic medication, but 'they didn't have much effect.' Failing that, they gave me high doses of sedatives to put me to sleep, and that made me incredibly groggy. After talking to my parents and finding all this out, I went back to sleep.
After another night in the hospital, for a total of two nights spent there, they released me. That night, I slept very poorly. I kept waking up, and when I woke up, I had a very strange flashback of a memory. It was of me, sitting on a stairstep or bench or something, the friend who had called 911 by my side, and me facing a policeman.  That's all I remembered. I have no doubt that it actually happened.
Over these last eleven days, I've had very strange flashbacks in which the visuals will come back, sometimes stronger than others. The length of the flashbacks is totally random. They also seem to be brought on by both caffeine and nicotine, although in the last three or four days this effect seems to have disappeared. Also, whenever I wake up in the middle of the night, which happens fairly frequently, I am tripping, sometimes quite hard. In the pitch black of my room, and with my eyes closed, I see swirling, flashing colors, and sometimes experience a very vivid effect like reliving a memory, except the memory never happened. This too seems to have faded in the last three or four days, but it's still definitely there.
I've realized that I have been using psychedelics far too often in my life, and I've been using them more as a cure for boredom than as a self-exploration tool like I initially did. I've decided to take a total break from mind-altering substances to get back into the rhythm of life without them. I need to remember what I did for fun before drugs, and get back into that routine. I'm starting college in less than two weeks, and I doubt I'll have the time or money for drugs anyway.
Although the experience was not an enjoyable one, I learned a lot about safety and why not to abuse psychedelics from it. It achieved its purpose, and was not wasted. I'm really looking forward to my life in the future, I have a lot of good things ahead of me, and I don't want to screw it up.

Good Day! It is with hope that I write to seek your help in this context. Firstly, let me start by introducing myself properly to you. My name is Ralph Taylor, the first son of President Charles Taylor of Liberia. I got your email address from network directory. I apologize if I have infringed on your privacy. You maybe aware, that my father President Charles Taylor has been embattled by rebel forces in my country, couple with his recent indictment by U.N backed tribunal. These issues have made world headlines. Visit, www.liberianews.com Now my father has accepted to quit power and leave Liberia on the arrival of peacekeeping force which might be headed by American troops. But the delay in deploying peace keeping force has worsened situation in the country. In spite of this, my country Liberia is like a herd of cattle without shepherd.  However, I am a young man who has ambitions and I am not in any way interested in wars, this is why I secretly left Liberia for Amsterdam to seek asylum. Besides, I am using this correspondence to seek and request your assistance and cooperation in a sensitive but highly beneficial financial arrangement. Prior to the Wars and embattlement of my father, himself and I deposited a huge amount of money in a security company’s vault overseas on my name. The funds were arranged into a consignment before deposited with the security company but, the security company did not know that the consignment contains money. Because, the consignment was declared to contain family treasure and valuables. The fact that the I remain in the Asylum camp and we continue to accumulate huge debts daily as long as the consignment remains in the security company’s vault, made me decided to get someone reliable to proceed as soon as possible to receive these funds for investment purpose. As a young man, I plan to use this money to safeguard my future. It is very essential that you understand the kind of trust and confidence I want to put in you. This is an act of desperation on my part, in order not to loose this money incase of any eventuality. For your reliable assistance, if willing, I will reward you with 25% of the money. As soon as you declare your willingness to assist, i shall furnish you with the details and information you will need to accomplish this task. Please, be rest assured that this arrangement is absolutely risk free And cannot implicate you in any way. However, I implore you to handle this matter with urgency, utmost secrecy and confidentiality for security and safety reasons, even if you do not intend to execute the project. Thank you in anticipation for your assistance in enabling me achieve this goal. Please contact me whether or not you are interested in assisting me. This will enable me scout for another person in the event of non-interest on your part. Yours sincerely, Mr. Ralph Taylor


Plugin Information |
|---|
View Bazaar on the plugin site for more information. |
This plugin integrates Bazaar version control system to Jenkins. The plugin requires the Bazaar binary (bzr) to be installed on the target machine.
With this plugin, you can designate a Bazaar repository as the "upstream" repository. Every build will then run "bzr pull" to bring the tip of this upstream repository. In a similar manner, polling will check if the upstream repository contains any new changes, and use that as the triggering condition of the new build.
Changelog
Version 1.22 (Feb 19, 2013)
- Checkboxes for "Clean Tree" and "lightweight checkout" were not correctly showing as ticked (thanks to Ryan Herbert for the patch)
Version 1.21 (October 12, 2012)
- Fix possible Null Pointer Exception when failing to get current remote revision
Version 1.20 (August 27, 2012)
- Do a lightweight checkout instead of a heavyweight checkout
- Fix bug: lightweight checkout "update" would always fail as bzr update didn't accept a repository argument. Switch to using bzr update followed by bzr switch. This should massively improve performance for those not doing a full branch.
- Remove "Clean Branch" advanced option (replaced with "Clean Tree" option)
- Add a "Clean Tree" advanced option. This will run "bzr clean-tree --quiet --ignored --unknown --detritus", preserving the .bzr directory but doing the equivalent of wiping the workspace (starting with a fresh slate). This should massively improve performance for projects that do not have a clean build.
- Clarify that Loggerhead is the repository browser used by Launchpad, and have a complete example of how to configure it.
Version 1.19 (July 2, 2012)
- Clarify license in source files
- run "bzr revert" after a pull, as if you have a directory that is removed and re-added while having unknown files in said directory (e.g. build artifacts), you would end up in a very bad place (this is a BZR bug, so we work-around it with a "bzr revert").
- add a README file in sources, update maintainers list in pom.xml
Version 1.18 (June 28, 2012)
- UI fix for checkout option (JENKINS-12261)
- Auto-recover from corrupt BZR branches (e.g. bzr branch/checkout killed at inopportune moment) by cleaning the workspace and trying again (this is now default behaviour, best used with the Jenkins SCM retry count feature being > 1)
- New maintainer! Stewart Smith (me!)
Version 1.17 (Aug 11, 2011)
- Fix file descriptor leak in parsing ChangeLog.
- Added support for lightweight checkouts.
Version 1.16 (Feb 24, 2011)
- Rerelease 1.15 to properly set required Jenkins version.
Version 1.15 (Feb 19, 2011)
- Fixed an issue with class cast in BazaarTagListner (JENKINS-8519)
- Extract email address of the committer and set it for user if it's a new one (JENKINS-8575)
Version 1.10 (Jan 9, 2011)
- Fixed an issue with parsing of revno for merge revisions (JENKINS-8454)
- Add tag action
Version 1.9 (Jan 5, 2011)
- Add RepositoryBrowser with Loggerhead and OpenGrok implementation (JENKINS-7905, JENKINS-7044)
- Fixed empty build changelog issue when using "clean build" option (JENKINS-6761)
- Fixed an issue with author parsing (JENKINS-6510)
- Add BZR_REVISION and BZR_REVID env var during build. (JENKINS-4985)
Version 1.6
- Don't set master env variables on slaves for bazaar's getRevId; parse only stdout when running revision-info -d, as stderr may get warnings.
Version 1.5
- Updated plugin to use newer SCM API
- Fixed an issue with bzr probing on cloud-based builders where the system needs to determine if it needs to create a builder, so it doesn't have a builder, so it can't test against the state of the workspace on the builder.
Version 1.4
- Patch from zigarn. Prunes extraneous revision from changeset list.
- Fixes NPE on commit without changes. Patch from zigarn.
Version 1.3
- Updated plugin to use revision id's instead of revision numbers to determine if a revision should be built or not.
Version 1.0
- Initial version

We'll see how much of it I can release.

You might want to create something like what the IMetadataExchange interface does maybe or some sort of diagnostic endpoint. For the sake of discussion, let's call them infrastructure endpoints... ---
I mentioned in a few posts that I've been attempting to hook WCF to attach custom metadata endpoints to a WCF service, and that I hadn't had much success yet because of how WCF works and because a lot of the necessary functionality that would've made it easier to do so was internal.
Today I finally got a breakthrough and was able to fully host my own metadata endpoint that was responsive from the browser (i.e. similar to the native WSDL publishing feature in WCF)! Here's what it took:
Take into account the code yet is a complete mess because I was pretty much just writing the minimum required until I could get a successful call to the endpoint. It's still missing tons of error checking and more and would require a through clean and refactoring and even so I'm not sure I'd be willing to use this stuff for real.
I wonder if there's an easier way to do this...

Documentations
ReChord is an app that aims to enable music historians to make search both notes and term search within MEI file.- Deploy through Heroku
- Common Searching Errors
- Other Resources
1. Common Errors
Here are some common issue that you would like to know for making a perfect search:1.1 Snippet Search:
- Note that Snippet search only cares about pname of the notes. Not other attributes.
- The snippet you used to search is required to be a full .xml or .mei because the snippet is first parsed to a tree and then search against.
- Here is a simple acceptable snippet sample.
1.2 Terms Search:
-
- At the moment, ReChord do not support "Hairpin" and "Piano Fingering" term search.
- Terms search currently allow following categories:
- Expressive Terms
- Articulation
- Dynamic Marking
- Tempo Marking
- Pedal Marking
- Not only do we allow exact term search, ReChord also has a built in dictionary to search for the acronyms/short-hand writings and vise versa.
1.3 Upload Your Own Database:
- If you are not uploading files to do search in, ReChord will search within MEI 3.0.0. Complete examples.
- Also, the MEI file you upload shall also be complete and parsable.
- You can upload multiple files at the same time, just be mindful that the files need to have .mei or .xml extension.
- The files you are upload are temporary and can only support one search on the app page.
- If you have a database and would like to do frequent search within, please:
- clone your own branch of our Git repository
- replace database/MEI_complete_example with your own folder of files
- if you no longer use the original folder name:
- replace "MEI_Complete_examples" in my_form_post() function in ReChord_frontend.py with your own folder name.
- If you have a database and would like to do frequent search within, please:
1.4 If there are any other problem regarding this app:
- Since this project only requires Python and xml knowledge, feel free to ask your programming friends technical question and let them looking into our code. It should be easily understandable and fixable. (and let them do a Pull Request please)
- Feel free to report Issue on our git page.
2. Deploy the app through Heroku
This project is designed for users to deploy their own ReChord version through Heroku, a web app hosting cloud platform. This section will focus on how to deploy this GitHub repo on heroku.  You got this.Step 2: Create a new app
Then on the managing projects page, add a new project. Heroku will prompt you to give a name for it and then you would enter the dash board.
Step 3: In Dashboard...
Step 3.1: Connect to GitHub
Then in the Deploy tab in the Dashboard, Click on GitHub for Deployment method.and then connect to your GitHub account.
Step 3.2: Connect to your ReChord Git Branch
Step 3.3: One-time deployment
After connect to the branch, scroll down to find manually deploy session. Click on Deploy Branch. Then you are ready to go! Be mindful that this manual deployment only run with the version of code in the branch. This means that if you push to the branch again, the app will not deploy the new code. If you want to do so, you can click on Enable Automatic Deploys instead.Now you can go to the setting and find the domain to check the app! Happy ReChording!

The Jungle
Ok now let me get something straight It is a short story by the way. And we live in a cave near a jungle! We also live near a waterfall!! But it is not as easy to get food/ cook it! We collect stones and wood to make a fire to cook as well we have to do the hunting to get the food! We also make wood weapons to help us hunt! And we use stones to carve the wood to make weapons to hunt!  My name is lea and I got so scared I ran around the jungle make the monster stop casing and I ran back in the cave and I put a big bag of rice monsters are allergic to rice and slept nice good! And in the morning I got to hunt it was cool we had fish and seaweed and deer and wolf after I was done I went out side to see the stars! I slept well good night!
After a few mins I woke up and in the cave there was some food I ate one fish yum!
I went back to bed and when it was morning I saw a small monster it was very small it so small It was the size of your pinky finger! After a few mins it the yelled as it was in danger but she was wasn’t in danger she was scared I was sad It was very hurt it looked like they got in to a fight! I ran to take care of it bit it was not easy to train a wild baby dragon I also made a cast out of webs and plants I chose to adopt it! I got a free friend I put lily the baby dragon and I went to sleep I live with one boy he is the same age he put me to bed I slept his name is don he slept! And wen we got older we had a baby we named it pam she so nice and smart!

In my 19 years long career I have held various positions such as
Executive Director for Marketing, Human Resource Manager,
Research Consultant, Project Coordinator, in which I had the
chance to meet challenges faced by teams and leaders, and had
dealt with change, stress and pressure.
I integrated my
intellectual and emotional assets to support and further
companies goals, and have experienced corporate world from many
perspectives, and bring real world business experience,
professional training and knowledge.
Leading a
team I applied and taught practical psychological knowledge in
the field of personality; motivation, communication, behavioural
styles .. and witnessed disagreements that have arisen from a
misunderstanding of human difference in both with leaders, and
teams. I gained ability to work effectively with a wide range of

'Coaching'
can be applied virtually anywhere where people are trained,
developed and/or helped towards improving performance, and
achieving success and personal fulfillment.
Coaching is a quite recent area of learning and development. Coaching commonly addresses attitudes, behaviors, knowledge, as well as skills.
Coaching is a form of change facilitation - it enables people,
rather than trains them.
Coaching is interactive and
flexible - it allows for personal transition on an individual
basis.
Coaching makes no assumptions - it's not
judgmental, nor is it prescriptive or instructional.
Coaching can be conducted wherever coach and client happen to be - anywhere in the world. Coaching can be conducted via mail, as well. Coaching is just as effective over the telephone/cell phone, skype, as it is face-to-face.. This offers greater flexibility for people with a busy lifestyle.
As for the coaching teams, coaching is organized on the premises of the company or where company decides to perform coaching.

A visual exploration of the spatial patterns in the endings of German town and village names.
I picked the most interesting suffixes from https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortsname and cross-referenced them with a list of place names from geonames.
Darker colors indicate a higher proportion of place names with the respective suffix in a geographic cell. Hover over a cell for a while to see a tooltip with the place names.
Please note: My approach is not 100% scientific, as I only match the letters at the end of the string, not actual syllables. So, Kirchbach matches -ach. #justsaying
Yet, it's a dataset I always found interesting to explore; plus, this quick experiment gave me the opportunity to play a bit with a few new tools and libraries I wanted to learn more about.
Find the code at: http://github.com/moritzstefaner/ach-ingen-zell
And, here's a few screenshots. Feel free to use them when you report on the project, but please link back to this page.

I began my journey into the world of computers with an obsession with Logo. Seeing what a small turtle and a few mathematical equation could create fascinated and mesmerized me. From that point on I kept teaching myself programming languages and techniques. Today, I have a Masters degree in Human Computer Interaction and Ergonomics and a Bachelors of Engineering in Computers.
I like working in the digital and physical space when it comes to technology. Creating digital artifacts, but I also like to build things with my hands. Give me some cardboard and some masking tape and I can construct an ergonomically designed ATM machine mockup. Hand me a Raspberry pi and and I can make that into a working prototype. Give me an internet connection and web server and I'll have the ATM sending alerts to your phone.
Basically, I like to make things.
My creative process—no matter the medium—is to identify a problem, understand the users, assimilate the sociotechnical context and then iteratively work towards a solution. Continuous improvement through continuous testing is my mantra.
For me, great design is about simple and embodies consistency, context and continuity.
