I live in AJ's podcast for your Monday.
Most wonderful show is keeping up with the Joneses.
Mr. Jones.
Goodness gracious.
You look hard today.
Oh, thank you very much.
Mm-hmm.
Do you want to tell the people what you did slightly?
Negligently before we started recording a podcast?
OK, so I wasn't thinking.
Well, I was thinking of other things.
Basically, I just started a load of laundry because my workout clothes
needed to be cleaned. And where is our laundry? Right above our heads. So if you hear the sound
of rushing waters, it's not the Lord returning to speak deep to deep. Well, maybe it is, but it's
more likely ages laundry. It's more likely my laundry. How's everyone? I hope you had a great week.
What did we talk about last week? We talked about anger. Yeah. I hope you had a great angry week.
A great angry week.
Sounds weird. Yeah. Sounds weird. How was your week?
Better than the previous week, but still plenty of challenges.
I'm sky my brain for highlights of the week.
I think most of my highlights had to do with food, just random salads.
I made my Greek salad, which I hadn't made in a while, things like that.
There was something exceptional about the Greek salad, do you remember?
No, are you going for something specific?
Something I did.
I feel like it.
Oh, you made the chicken?
I did.
 And it was really good.
Do we want a link to Sam, the cooking guy is in his language, a little foul?
 But still, it's a great, great recipe.
It is a good recipe. Yeah.
That just makes me want to make it again. I'm not going to lie.
So we are in the middle of a series on feelings.
We have done five already.
And we are about to talk about feeling number six.
- Yeah, this is all the work of Dr. Chip Dodd,
and he's written a book called "The Voice of the Heart."
Super helpful book.
And also, he runs an organization called Seychil.
We went into their training.
We'd recommend both of them.
If you haven't got the book,
we'd really recommend you pick up the book
or the audiobook, put a link in the show notes.
But also, they are offering training that we did
that was really, really excellent.
And the reason I'm passionate, angry,
about you all doing the training is,
listening to this stuff isn't enough.
Actually, when you go do the training,
about half of it is like classroom time
where you're getting some excellent world class teaching.
The other half of it is where you're in process groups
doing the work of the feelings.
- Doing this stuff.
I feel angry to itch my nose right now.
What can I use that?
- You can, I'll zoom in on you right now.
(laughing)
- Oh, I feel so much better.
- I love the way you lowered your lip.
Does that stretch out your nose?
- I don't know.
- You love it.
I love it when you watch it back because I'm going to zoom right in and 4k and it's going to look glorious.
No, you know.
You want me to cut it out?
I don't know.
You can do whatever you want.
OK, I usually do.
I know.
So far, we've talked about four of the feelings.
We've talked about her sad lonely fear.
What's that?
What's that?
What's that?
What did you think about?
I just thought of something for fear.
Go ahead.
Wait, tell the people about your attempts to wrestle me.
Cause that's a fun one.
Okay.
I, because I've been working out, I feel like I'm getting stronger.
And so I should be able to pin you down by now, but I can't yet.
But last week, was it last week that you shifted and hoofed me right off the bed
onto the floor.
Okay.
Well, that sounds like the beginning of domestic abuse.
Let's frame it in this proper gondack.
So AJ is convinced that she can pin me down.
So she literally tries to pin me down
and doesn't realize that she's the easiest person to escape.
And I also have like a hundred pounds on her.
So she's very easy to, this is going to sound terrible.
She's really easy to flip over and sit on.
But at one point when she was pinning me
for like the fifth or sixth time, I'm like, babe,
this is a waste of time.
And if you keep doing this, I'm going to throw you on the floor.
And she's like, no, you're not.
I'm super strong.
You didn't say you were going to throw me on the floor.
I thought I gave you fair warning.
No, you did not.
You did not remember.
Did it in a different direction.
All of a sudden I was like mid mid fall.
I remember lowering, lowering you gently to the floor.
Is that how you remember it?
That is not how my rib cage.
Remember, so all of ages, Google searches are all about
craft Maga and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
And she wants to learn how to pin me, which I'm loving, by the way.
If you can help me out, if you know a viable way to.

-Well, I said to Abby today, I was like,
"Mommy needs to figure out a way to pin down Daddy."
And she goes, "Mommy, just hurt him."
And I was like, "What do you mean?"
-Thank 13-year-old.

And I was like, "Well, I don't want to hurt him."
-Please send help.
-I said, "Well, I don't want to hurt him.
I just want to pin him down."
And she goes, "But if you hurt him,
you'll be able to pin him down.
Our topic this week is about fear, which seems pertinent, given our topic of
discussion.
When I was thinking of earlier, okay, Ron.
So today I heard Alan coming down the stairs and I knew he was coming and I
was standing kind of, I knew he was looking for me.
And so I squished up against the wall and waited for him to come around the
corner and then I jumped out.
Which doesn't seem very Christ-like.
No, it is.
Jesus told me to do.
Spirit of deception.
Come on.
Okay, that's why.
But it felt if I felt inspired to scare you.
If I can't pin you, I'll scare you for now.

Again, we're talking about fear this week, but before we jump into fear, let's do a quick recap on feelings.
Why are feelings so important?
Well, number one for me, God gave us feelings.
Great answer.
So, he obviously wanted feelings to be part of how we function.
Yeah.
And I think that was the biggest shift for me in terms of being willing to feel them is,
"Okay, God, if you made me with these foreign things that I don't enjoy,
okay, God, then I'm going to choose to start actually feeling them instead of ignoring them."
Yeah, the other thing we've discovered is that on the pathway to full-hearted living like living the life that God's given us
Feelings are this incredible gift from God. I don't think I ever knew that till starring this work
I just thought feelings were a major inconvenience to you being productive, right?
In fact, I remember one time singing with my therapist and he was like, what you know
What do you know would start the session he'd show me the eight feelings like what are you feeling?
I was like I'm so frustrated with this like well, like I'm not feeling anything
And so he I said why don't you do the exercise?
What are you feeling?
And so he just lifts lifts off like six or seven feelings.
I'm like you're feeling them all now.
And he was like yeah, and I was revolved by I was like, oh my God,
how do you even get anything done in this day?
And he was like, wow, we've got some work to do now.
But for full hearted living to be to be the way you're made to enjoy all that God's given you as a just feelings are essential.
And what we've discovered as we've been doing these last couple of weeks is every feeling has a gift.
That is, if you feel your feelings, if you process your feelings, if you talk about your feelings,
if you explore your feelings, if you give your feelings to God, if you give the part of you that's
angry, the part of you that's fearful, whatever, you invite the Lord into that, you have safe
community as you explore your feelings, there is a tremendous gift with every feeling, and every
gift is different for each feeling. But conversely, if you choose not to feel your feelings, then
you end up with the impairments, which are all really things that we don't want,
and would shout scripture versus that, but we don't realize we have them because we've partnered
with shutting down our feelings. Right. And a lot of the impairments is an impaired way of living.
Like it actually puts on the handbrake and the footbrake.
And then you realize, why is this thing not working? And then you realize the footbrake is still in the car?
I have. Yes. Quite a distance, I must do admit. Like the impairments a little bit like that
We're like, we're going through life.
It takes way more effort.
There's tons of opposition.
And that's the impairment because we are refusing to live
the way we've been designed.
- Yeah.
So this week we are talking about fear.
And for a lot of us, we have been trained that fear
equals weakness in that if we're experiencing fear,
then we're obviously not like a people of faith.
- Right.
That whole thing where we don't want to admit that we're scared
because it keeps us moving forward, isn't actually fear.
It's the fear of fear.
It's the fear of feeling our fear.
Which now we've suddenly gone really meta.
- Very meta.
So when we become fearful about feeling fear,
then we actually turn into really controlling people.
- Right, 'cause we want guarantees
that everything's gonna be okay,
so we never have to feel any fear
that could potentially come from doing this.
And so we actually step back from living,
we demand these guarantees,
we become super controlling. And again, that's not the way we're designed. And it doesn't
produce good fruit in relationships. If you doubt that, how many of you got really close
friends who are super controlling and you love that part about their personality?
Not me. And conversely, if we are actually going to admit that we feel fear, because let's face
facts, there are some scary things in the world, the scary things about living life. If we admit
that we're fearful, we actually step into reminding ourselves that we are human. We do have limitations.
Just embracing that there's fear opens up the world of incredible fruitfulness to come into our lives.
Yeah. I think fear makes you pay attention too.
It absolutely does.
And I have no fear. I'm just going to gun it.
No, you look over your shoulder or you look at if you got a newer car,
you look at the rear view mirror and you're paying attention to what's happening.
And that's actually one of the gifts of fear.
It makes us aware of our surroundings.
It makes us aware of potential danger in the area.
And doing that actually leads to a gift we're going to talk about momentarily.
So I'm trying to think, babe, it feels like fear is a prerequisite for trust.
Like, you know, you have to actually feel your feelings in order to be able to enter
into an agreement with the Lord to trust him about something.
Yeah, usually trust is not required if we're able to do something in our own strength.
Yeah.
So if you think about all the times that we've done some of the Lord's
asked us to do, move countries, move house, try something different.
Yeah.
There's inherent risk in all of that.
Gosh, yes.
And so the trust part comes with like, I am scared about doing that, but I trust
you.
Yeah.
And my demonstration of my trust in you is partnering with my fear,
acknowledging that it's there and recognizing that actually I can have
confidence that you're in there and you get to the other side.
Yes, that makes sense.
And I think too often we try and eliminate fear.
I don't know why.
Like, I was, you know, well, not one to be human, not one to have limitations,
because that's scary.
And we try and demand and, but when we do that, we shrink our world.
Like we only ever do things we know we can do.
And that means we never ever grow.
Yeah.
The other thing is that fear leads us to joy and, and, and, and,
based on what you were saying, like, when I have fear about something,
And it's usually because of my own limitations.
When I'm aware of my limitations, I identify my need.
Like, I can't do this, or I don't know how to do this,
or this is big, or this is scary.
Think about, when we first moved here,
we wanted to buy a house.
We did not know how to buy a house at all.
My parents didn't live in America.
They knew nothing about, they bought some houses before.
They lived in Great Britain.
They didn't know what the American system was.
Your mom is Canadian.
Your dad is no longer with us.
And so we feel like the Lord's asking us to buy a house,
but we're scared, 'cause we don't know what to do.
We don't know if we can afford it.
We don't know the process.
- How do you even figure it all out?
- Right, and so that brings us to our need.
Like we don't know what we're doing.
- Yeah.
- We need some help.
And so we reached out to some dear friends of ours.
- Well, the Lord highlighted to us.
- Yeah, we prayed like Lord, we don't know what to do.
- And he was like, meet with these people.
- And so we go to meet these people.
Who at that point, we didn't really know?
- Not well, no.
- So we took him out for dinner and asked him like,
hey, here's what we feel that the Lord's asking us to do.
We don't know how to do it.
Would you help us in that process?
Would you just guide us through?
- Do you know anything about this?
- Right, well actually, we knew that they had just
helped their son by a house.
- That's right.
- Like walking through the process.
- Yeah, so we're like, you know.
- So we're like, you're a dad,
you know how to walk people through this.

And we're like, no, we don't know what you do.
They're like, I have a real estate license.
So the Lord was setting us up.
My point in that is there was tremendous joy
in our weakness.
Joy is often found when a tender response
is shown to weakness.
So we have weakness, we have need.
These people are only too happy to help us.
They feel joy in being able to give their gifts to people in need.
We feel joy in being able to help.
None of that process would have happened if we didn't first feel our fear.
Right.
So we feel our fear and that actually leads us to go and pursue wisdom.
Oh, look at AJ Jones just jumping ahead.
Yep.
Yeah.
I'm jumping ahead, Billy.
That's right.
The gift of fear is wisdom.
And here's how that works.
You already heard an example of one type of fear is that you sit in a situation, you
realize you don't know what you're doing, you don't know what you've reached your limitations
which identifies your needs.
I need help.
You reach out for help and just that understanding that you're in need opens you up to be teachable
and you reach out for help.
Another example of that would be if you are in a new situation, a new environment and perhaps
you sense danger around you, you're feeling fearful about the situation, you're feeling
and fearful about people, it causes you to be heightened awareness about your environment,
about the people, maybe causes you to take some precautions. That's wisdom in action.
And actually what's interesting about that is when we feel fear in those situations,
it's actually speaking about our internal worth.
Wow.
I'm in danger and I am worth protecting. Therefore, I will take precautions to keep me safe,
attributing value to ourselves.
Good.
Another gift of fear.
Very cool.
You were talking earlier about how God made us this way.
Think about your physiological reactions to fear.
So let's say you're walking away.
You mean your fight or flight?

Yeah.
But you're in a situation where you feel like
you're physically in danger, what happens to you physically?
You start to walk faster.
Your heart raises.
Yeah.
And so what's happening is your body's telling you,
I'm in danger, you pay attention to that.
And again, wisdom comes out with that.
I need to call somebody.
I need to change lanes and go to a police station,
whatever you need to do to take care of yourself.
So we talked a little bit about discernment.
Like you're aware that something's not quite right.
Like you're aware that and your fear speaks to you,
like, hey, something's not quite right,
which leads to discernment.
You listen to that voice, leads to wisdom
and finding what you need.
What is the difference then between discernment and judgment?
- The best definition that I have heard of judgment
comes from the Kaelstra's from Betsy and Chester.
- Our dear friends, Chester and Betsy Kaelstra,
who are adorable and--
- Wonderful.
- Vicious, I was gonna say, but they are wonderful, yeah.
- They're vicious in the best sort of way.
- Yeah, but vicious like a skilled surgeon.
- Yes, precise.
Anyway, they say a judgment sounds like an observation
with attitude.
So it's not just noticing a thing or being aware of a thing
and then doing whatever you need to do with it
to be safe or whatever, but it's actually then going past that
and adding attitude and like motive probably.
- Or scribing motive to somebody.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I love that description from Chester and Betsy.
Chip describes judgment as an attempt at stopping fear
without having to listen to your fear.
So we just move straight to judgment
so we can eradicate all of their perspective.
- This is actually all about them and you know whatever.
- And remove ourselves from it.
- Right, wow.
- We were talking about this earlier,
you know with the example of buying a house.
- Yes.
- But one of the other beautiful things about fear
is it helps us see our limitations.
Like when we often, when we're fearful,
we've run out of us and we need something more
and that's scary.
- Yes.
- Because if you need something more,
it means you're gonna have to rely on something other than you.
- God.
- We don't like that at other people.
- Oh, yeah.
- So fear actually lets you know your limitations,
which brings a gift of allowing other people
to meet your needs.
- Yeah.
So when we see our limitations,
we actually come into an understanding
that we need other people and we need their help.
Okay, so real time example, story about the podcast.
We'd been podcasting for, I don't know, four or five years,
but we only ever did audio podcasting.
And when we started, we didn't have a clue what we're doing.
We had a really good friend Blake Stratton,
who'd podcasted before.
- Yes.
- And it was fun.
He came over, showed us how to use microphones,
how to set them up, how to plug them in the computer,
all that sort of stuff.
- Yes.
- And what do you know,
doing the same thing over and over again,
every week you get better and better at it.
- Yes.
- But I had this itching in my heart to do video.
The trouble is, I don't know anything about video.
Like I know enough to be dangerous.

- It's really hard. - So difficult.
And so I like to be able to figure things out myself.
I'm a bit of a nerd.
I wanna do research, but all of my research,
all of my abilities left me with a need
that like, I can't get this good.
I can't get this working.
And so over the years,
we've had many people help us with the podcast.
So Cooper built this,
basically our stage set right here,
that back wall. He came and helped us with that. Chris Law came and helped us with our lighting.
But most recently, and this is the beauty of the pandemic, the pandemic seemed like this global
equalizer for everybody, like it reset perfectionism for everybody. So you've got like these talk
show hosts who are used to recording from multi-million dollar studios who are currently unable to go
to work but want to stay on the air. And so you've got these experts who are reduced to using an
iPhone camera and a selfie stick hosting their shows. And it's so funny watching everybody get
better and better and better. But for me, what it did was it kind of motivated me to go,
so I'll admit I was fearful about putting out bad stuff. Like not bad content, but bad delivery.
Like I want it to be good. I have fear that it's not going to be good. I want to serve you really,
really well. And so we start up podcasting again, video podcasting, and I realize I just can't get
this to work. And I remember one night, it was kind of late at night and I'm thinking, "Lord,
I've tried everything. I don't know what to do and I'm thinking and I'm feeling sad that it's taking me this long
I haven't got anywhere. I'm feeling lonely because I you know you can't help. I'm sorry. I can't. Yeah, what the heck
And I'm feeling fear that the deadline's coming.  I just texted my friend Trent and said Trent
Is there any way you could help me color correct video?

They're like, oh, there's too much blue in that.
There's too much cyan in that.
And I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't see any of it.
I don't see any of it.
But trying to be happy to.
And so, you know, Trent remotely takes over my computer and he starts color correcting
things and it looks good because Trent gave us all that help.
But that was an example of like my limitations is producing fear and actually I'm trying
back away from my fear. I have fear about reaching out to
Trent. I don't want to bother him. It's late on a Saturday night.
Maybe he's too busy. Maybe I'll be rejected. Maybe I'll reach
out for help and be denied. And then I'll be in a worse
situation than I was before. Because now not only can I do it,
but like I've been denied, I've been rejected. Yadda yadda yadda.
But the gift of sitting in my fear really realizing my need
and reaching out for help again, produce that joy. I was
talking about a trend tender response to my weakness.
Blast me and blast him.
Yeah.
I hope it blessed you, Trent.
We hope.
Trent, we're just assuming.
Yeah.
You, well, you kept telling me, no, I love doing this.
This is great.
So I took you at your word chip in his book, Voice of the Heart, says this, healthy
fear leads me into relationship because it helps me recognize that I am not enough.
Oh, amen.
Oh, we don't like that though, do we?
I need others.
I need others who have skills different from my own.
Fear allows me to be willing to listen to the wisdom of others and acknowledge their talents.
And that's so true, isn't it?
Like there is a certain joy in being able to help people you love with the things that you can do that they can.
I love it.
Yeah, I don't mean from my like, "Ha ha ha ha!"
But there is, it's beautiful being a flax of stuff that is second nature to you and realize it's a gift to people.
Now, ironically, we talked about our friends who helped us in the first, you know, walking
us through a process of how to buy a house, where to get loans, all that sort of stuff.
Which in itself was an amazing God story.
Don't have time to go into that.
But what do you know a couple of years later, we developed this rich, rich relationship
with this beautiful, beautiful couple.
And I discover that all of my nerdy stuff that I just take for granted that...
They need the nerd.
That doesn't feel like work or doesn't feel like stuff I've acquired through study is
just innate to me, actually becomes a huge blessing to them.
Yeah.
So, you know, forever, I'm like fixing Wi-Fi or resetting passwords.

And I'm like, not really.
But this give and take of understanding we all have limitations and works,
life works better in community is a glorious thing.
Yeah.
So basically knowing our limitations is actually gift.
Yeah.
So when we know we're needy, then we can receive the blessing.
Right.
And that's the beauty of community.
And if there's no shame,
we're gonna talk about shame soon,
about like being needy, about being human,
about having limitations, beautiful things come.
Do you remember that time that I was having a really hard time
because we had like someone wrong with our toilet,
I don't know how to fix it.
- Yes.

Like there's things that you're trained to do.
Plumbers are trained to plumb.
They probably don't wanna preach.
and you don't need to be a plumber.

Like just stick to your gifts, stick to your lanes.
I was like, "Actually, that's a huge relief, thank you."
- Yeah.
- I was thinking about that whole thing
about being in communities, wonderful,
'cause everybody's got gifts.
But here's the thing, if you refuse to feel your fear,
you'll never know your needs.
You'll never know your limitations.
- Wow.
- So you'll never be open to receiving help.
Which means you won't be teachable.
- Yes.
- Which means you can't receive the blessings
that your community is able to offer you.
- So that just makes me think,
'cause we talk so much on the school
and when we teach and stuff about being teachable
and about how important it is to remain teachable,
especially in a role of leadership or anything like that.
So if what you're saying is true,
then actually we need to feel our fear to stay teachable.
That's an interesting key, isn't it?
Because sometimes I wonder,
"Oh, why don't I want to be teachable in this right now?
"And I wonder if it's more,
"Oh, I don't want to feel my fear or my insecurities
"about not being enough in this."
And so that's why I'm not teachable
is because I'm refusing to feel the,
"I'm not enough, I have fear, I need others,
"I need someone else."
- I think you start talking about that
and I thought about my first day at group therapy.
- Okay.
- And I thought about the tremendous fear I felt
about walking into an unknown part of a building
into a room with unknown men
to do something I'd never done before,
not knowing what I'm doing,
not knowing how to do it right,
not knowing what the rules are so I can ace this thing,
like having tremendous fear around that
and realizing if I did not embrace that fear
and the humility that comes from the fear of like,
I don't know what I'm doing and I don't know how to do this
and I don't know how to impress you
and I don't know what the rules are.
So I don't know how to ace it.
I would never have experienced all the transformation
I've received.
- Wow.
- Like if I didn't want to embrace my fear
and I'm like, group therapy, that's just for losers.
Like who would want to go to group therapy?
Which was my initial thought.
- So basically if you'd listen to me.
- I'm not saying that.

I don't think I helped though.
I was like, "Group therapy, are you joking?"

I feel like from doing group therapy, I have found this pot of treasure that was hidden
and I didn't know I wanted.
Yeah.
And I just think it was on the other side of humility, i.e. on the other side of fear.
Like, I did not want to go, but I've been pestering my therapist for a year.

like, this is getting us nowhere.
As in, I'm refusing to submit,
I'm refusing to learn from you.
I'm refusing every week you're saying
you need to feel your feelings.
I'm like, feelings, what, pile of nonsense.
In, you know, being brought to the end of myself
and realizing I need something other
than what I already have.
In recognizing actually there's probably treasure
in what I previously disdained.
I actually got just a wealth.
And I love it for me.
I love what I got for me.
but I also love that people in my community
are getting more because as a leader in the community,
like what's on your life trickles down?
- Yeah.
- So I love it.
- Well, it's not just your community, it's in our house.
- Yeah, like, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, I don't like to talk about my kids
without their permission,
but I just had so many tender moments this week
with my kids choosing to be vulnerable
and share their feelings.
And again, we don't mandate that they like pick a feeling
from like a list of eight.
- No.
- But they're very, very fluent.
And I love that.
I love that that's a byproduct of doing this work.
So this paradox that we find in discussing our fear
that in, for example, our weakness begins our strength.
Like finding that we're weak
and realizing our limitations leads to the blessing
of strength of other people helping us.
The other paradox being that in our fear,
we find wisdom is all perfectly biblical.
- Yes.
And I love that.
Like Proverbs chapter nine, verse 10,
says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."
Which we, you know, like we just think about that
as cross-stitched on a pillowcase
or a great bumper sticker or a fridge magnet.
But actually there's a truth in that.
That, you know, that whole thing about
do not lean on your own understanding
but in all your ways acknowledge the Lord.
Like are you kidding me?
I paid a lot of money for my understanding.
You know, like I have advanced degrees.
Like I wanna-- - Expensive understanding.
- I wanna lean on that and the Lord's just like,
- Yeah, that's only gonna get you so far.
I love what Graham Cook says,
that God's much too clever to be an intellectual.
All right, now again, nothing against intellectuals,
but logic and reasoning will only take you so far.
And that's where trust begins in order to trust.
You have to like feel your fear and accept,
okay God, I'm counting the cost as I step out.
- Yeah, so let's talk a little bit about the impairment.
- Right, the impairment comes when we don't want to feel
our fear. - Yes, which is usually the deal.
- Yeah, and it makes sense why.
Feeling your fear is scary.
Why would you want to do that?
- Sure.
- Well, the reason you want to do that
is if you don't feel your fear,
the impairment is anxiety.
Nobody wants to be anxious.
And anxiety comes about because basically,
in refusing to feel your fear,
you're just like, I don't want what you're offering.
I would just rather stay in control.
And by staying in control,
it means we get to stay away from the understanding
that we have limitations.
So it's this great illusion,
this great denial that I have limitations
And if I can actually just control everything,
control my environment, control the circumstances,
control what's happening, find a guidebook,
ace it, I will be fine and I will not have limitations,
therefore I don't need to have fear.
Could imagine there's a few problems with that one.
- There's a lot of problems with that, yep.
So in our impaired state, what fear tells us
is that we are gonna be found out for who we really are.
- Right, not enough.
- And then all of our fears are just gonna like.
- And we'll never get the help we need.
So even if we do reach out, it's not gonna be met.
- Right.

We talk about this a lot when we talk about
the shame, fear, control cycle, that's stronghold.
And we'll unpack that a little bit
when we get to the teaching and shame.
- So instead of using fear to acknowledge the circumstance
and feel our feelings and then reach out and say,
"We need help."
We actually start to scramble to try
and control the situation instead.
- Which of course we can,
which just leads to this anxiety feeling.
- Anxious people are controlling people,
and they're basically trying to get their needs met
without having to feel their fear.
- Yes, talking about anxiety, Chip says this,
"In anxiety, we rob ourselves of daily living
and its experience.
Instead, we try to control our future
in order to prevent the reoccurrence
of painful past experiences."
- Ow.
- Yeah, thanks Chip.
- Anxiety is basically self-sufficiency,
and if you take self-sufficiency
to its logical conclusion, you don't need to save your.
- Ouch. - Sorry about that.

- Yes, I think so.
- Here's the crazy thing, right?
If I'm gonna refuse to feel my fear,
I'm gonna become really anxious, super controlling,
and instead of asking for help,
because I'm scared that nobody's actually gonna come
to my help, instead I'm gonna recruit people
to help soothe my anxiety away.
And if you've ever been sat with an anxious people,
they don't want help.

- And justify that they've got a right to be anxious.
They don't want a solution.
They don't want to get out because they don't have to feel
or face reality.
They just want to stay in their anxiety and say,
"Hey, please," which also leads to self-pity,
leads to victimhood.
And it's just that, I mean, that's what we talk about
when we're talking about living with an impairment.
Like the quality of life you live is way, way low.
- Yeah.
So, babe, if I'm sitting here and I'm hearing this
and I'm realizing, oh gosh, that's me.
I'm an anxious person.
Then you can kind of flip the process backwards, right?
And go, oh, I'm living this anxious lifestyle
that you're talking about.
I'm aware that that's me.
So what I need to do actually is feel my fear.
- Yeah, start thinking about what am I afraid of?
Maybe write it down.
- Yeah.
- A good way of knowing if you're living
in the impairment of fear is if you always have to have
a bad guy to blame your problems on.
(laughing)
All right, so if it's all with somebody else's fault,
if it's the government, if it's Facebook,
if it's your teachers, if it's the police,
if it's the leaders, if you have a bad guy,
you've made move from taking responsibility
for the quality of life you're living
into this kind of anxiety and externalize it.
It's their fault, ah, and that allows you
to not have any limitations, it can't be your problem.
And a good way of looking at it is just journey
through your past, and if you're the common denominator
between all of your bad guys, it's probably not them,
It's probably some part of your heart
not wanting to feel your feelings.
- Right, so we're not talking about
like separate small situations
where there is maybe a legit bad guy.
We're talking about a lifestyle of where we're going.
Everybody around me, those are all the bad guys.
Like that's the common denominator.
- Yeah, no matter which skill you went to,
like if you've moved,
geography will not excuse your need to feel feelings.
So if you move to a new church, a new job, a new city,
And the same problems keep cropping up.
I would pay attention to that.
- Yeah.
- We're just full of good news and happy news today.
- Sorry about that.
But fear keeps on giving.
It's not just anxiety that we end up with.
- Yeah, we talked about this last week,
the other impairment, this is like two for one.
Not only do you end up in anxiety,
but more than likely,
another option of your impairment
is you're gonna end up in rage.
- Yeah, rage comes from refusing to face
that we are vulnerable people.
Whereas anxieties attempt to not feel fear
is to say, I have no limitations and everything's okay.
Rage's attempt is to scare away that which is scaring them.
Like, I'll get big, I'll get loud, I'll get,
rah, to scare away the thing that is scaring me.
Rageful people are just terrifying
of exposing their hearts.
- Yeah.
So do you think we can say, and I'm asking,
can we say that insecurity is fear that produces rage?
'cause it seems like many of the people
that I've encountered, including in my own family,
that would rage at the bottom of that
is some level of insecurity that they're trying to push away.
- That's not a great question for Chip,
'cause I've also met people who are insecure
and that insecurities manifest in a different way.
Rage is an attempt to deny that fear even exists.
Like look how big I am, I couldn't possibly be scared.
We talked about rage a little bit last week.
When we're talking about anger, we talked about you grew up in what we thought was an
angry household.
Yes.
But it was actually a rage filled household.
Sure.
Talk to me about the difference between rage and anger.
Well, I think they're actually miles apart.
Rage denies that we are human and needy.
Right.
And anger actually embraces that we are needy.
Chip says in his book that rage rejects the fear of desire.
Wow.
Whereas anger provides the passion to move us towards the desires.
They're actually like polar opposite on on on other ends of the scale
So that's our fifth feeling fear leads us to ask like what am I afraid of like what's behind my fear?
What am I worried is gonna happen and the gift of feeling fear is wisdom where the impairment is
Anxiety and rage so they go who knew that feeling fear was a positive thing
Yep, it's a gift
Hey, if you want the show notes for this week and go to Allen and AJ calm
And we want to thank all of our patrons who help us make this show happen.
If you would like to become a patron, you can go to alanaj.com/patreon.
And if all this stuff is waking up passion in your heart to know more about how you're
made, how you're built, how to interact with other people, we have an amazing school at
the church we help pastor called the School of Supernatural Life.
To give you an idea of the school and what it's like, we're going to just play a short
clip for you and then we'll be back straight after that.
When I came here, I was just blown away by the level of relationship that people had with
God and it changed everything for me.
Getting to set aside eight months of my life to run after the Lord and be surrounded by
a group of people that were doing the same thing was absolutely incredible.
My life before the school was, I had all this stuff going on in my heart and people would
always tell me, "Just let Jesus' feet."
My question was always, "How?"
I did not have any hope, any joy, any love in my heart.
I was very close off to the world and was very selfish.
I would say the school really flipped my world upside down.
Now I constantly am thankful. I'm constantly living in a place of gratitude and freedom.
My mind's not racing. I'm not constantly worried about finances or anything like that.
I just know that God's with me.
I had really battled depression for ten years.
Seeing God come through and just miraculously healing me of depression.
was truly impactful.
So literally, it changed my life.
(laughs)
I can honestly say that.
- The most impactful thing about being at the school
was that all the leaders,
they didn't necessarily show me how to lay all my burdens
down to Jesus' feet.
And they didn't tell me,
they basically just took my hand in and walked with me.
And until I met Jesus face to face,
and then they would stand back
and just watch you have this Jesus encounter week after week.
- There wasn't one particular week
stood out to me as the whole world, my whole life changed, but I left the school a completely
different person.
 He loves you all these things,
but actually the school created space for me to encounter the father that they teach about it."
In the school, we learned how to hear the voice of God, and after that we got to learn how to
prophesy, which is just to repeat his love over the people that are in our path.
What I loved about all of the classes was that there was an opportunity for application,
And so it was within a day, maybe two days after a teaching
that I would have an opportunity to actually apply
the principles or the teachings
that I had heard through the class.
- It was super cool to go on outreach
and be able to practice everything
that you were learning in the school
and get to tangibly see things happen.
I remember we went to South Africa
and we got to go pray in this local kind of pub/village area
and everyone we prayed for got healed.
- The school completely changed my life.
- The school of supernatural life changed my life forever.
- Has my life changed?
- Yeah.
- My life is completely different because of that so as so.
- The school has totally changed my life.
- My life is changed because of going to the school.
- God will use your yes.

Like he's gonna transform you.
- I would just really encourage anyone,
no matter how old you are, whether you're young or you're my age or even older, to just
really know that God has so much more ahead for you.
And going to the school is one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life.
And I will say to you that if you give it eight months, you will not regret it.
I'm a living testament that it doesn't matter how much time you've had with the Lord.

So especially if you give them an eighth month time, your whole life is just going to be radically changed.
If you're interested in this school, you can head on over to the website.
Applications are open until June 15th.
But for now, thanks for being with us.
We've loved being with you.
If this has been helpful for you, just go ahead and share the podcast with someone
else who might find it helpful.
and we'll see you next week.


A cheap, disc-based portable video player from the early 2000's.
Made by Tiger Electronics under Hasbro.
Used its own special disc format (108mm)
Discs each held 30 min. worth of video
(The one most kids actually got)
Color version released by Playskool, marketed to younger kids
Discs are slightly more flexible than the regular PVD discs
An attempt to capitalize on the GameBoy Advance SP
Had game playing capability, but never saw any game releases, except for a few quiz games and Dragon's Lair-esque QTE shovelware
Basically just a transparent version of the VideoNow Color
A future version of VideoNow that Wikipedia claims was released next year...
No images can be found, not even a bad photoshop
Probably fake, but would be kinda funny if true
A digital camcorder that could record video that could be played on VideoNow Color
Came with custom video editing software and blank PVD discs to burn to
A walkie-talkie made to look like a flip phone
Apparently sends texts and takes monochrome pictures
Seems to be a mere cash-in on the brand name
Nickelodeon cartoons were by far the most common
There were also few live action shows like America's Funniest Home Videos and Fear Factor
The VideoNow Color competed with GameBoy Advance Video format, by 4Kids/Majesco/Nintendo(for the Pokemon anime)


Disclamer: This review may divulge a few more plot details than you'd like to hear. If you wish to view the film, you may wish to skip this review. Besides, you can't really be prepared for your experience when watching this film anyway.
American Psycho (2000)
Starring Christian Bale, Willam Dafoe, Chloe Sevigny, and Reese Witherspoon.

The film has been a subject of controversy over the past little while. First of all, it is an adaptation of a book of the same name, which has been reportedly banned, and was also the book read by notorious Canadian serial killer Paul Bernardo (proving that yes, movies, books, and video games will turn an average joe into a cold blooded killer).
After watching it, I'm still left with the nagging question of whether I liked the film or not.
Uh oh.
American Psycho works on multiple levels. On one level, it is a bloody slasher pic on par with Texas Chainsaw Massacre (which, if I'm not mistaken, is actually featured on a television in the background as the protagonist does situps). On another level, it is a witty satire along the lines of RoboCop and Fight Club. On another level, it is a hilarious comedy that makes you feel really bad for laughing. But does it work as a combination on those levels?
The film takes place in the late 1980s and deals with the greed and materialism often associated with the "Me" generation, where everybody is so absorbed by their new CDs, their fancy business cards, their brand name stereo equipment, their cellphones, and their ability to get reservations at the fanciest restaurants. The film attempts to make a social commentary about that, telling about how one man who has it all -- beautiful women, money, all the coke he can snort -- is dissatisfied by everything material and must kill people in order to be content.
Hence, we are treated to really graphic showings of him killing people with reckless abandon. This is done in such an over-the-top manner that, a lot of the time, it just leaves you in stitches. One scene involves Patrick inviting a co-worker rival to his apartment, which he has decorated with newspaper plastic sheets to cover the furniture and carpet. He then pulls out a shiny axe, which he uses to hack his co-worker into itty bitty bits to the tune of Huey Lewis and the News' "Hip to be Square". Another scene involves him wielding a chainsaw while chasing a prostitute, while completely naked. These scenes are really sick and difficult to watch, yet you can't stop laughing no matter how hard you try.
As well, there is the scene that had to be trimmed for American audiences (I love being Canadian!). In one scene, Patrick has picked up two prostitutes and is having a menage-a-trois. But, all throughout the experience, he his actually staring at himself in the mirror, flexing his muscles and posing.
Towards the conclusion, the audience is given a Fight Club-esque plot twist, leaving the audience members confused as to the homicidal nature of the character. This does make for an interesting message -- does having far too many material things ultimately lead to a hollow life, which in the end leads to something close to psychosis?
The unfortunate thing about the film is the way it handles the social message. The film practically jams it down your throat, with constant mentions of material things and people's attachment to them (ie: Patrick goes through his daily routine and lists off the products he uses in minute detail).
>From a technical standpoint, the film is really well done. With a $7M budget (half of which was recouped in the first weekend of release), the film has beautifully designed sets, good attention to detail, interesting camera angles, and is a good film to look at and listen to. But the ambiguous ending leaves you a bit cold.
I do recommend this film, but mostly on the basis of Christian Bale's acting and the fact that this is not a film where one can just be told to like it or not. This is the type of film where one has to see it for themselves to make their own judgement.
Rating: still undecided.

LibreOffice Gnome Mockup
Recently, I have become a fan of the Gnome workflow. I haven’t been a fan from the start and there are still a lot of things I would like to see changed, but to be honest, after working with such a UI for an extended time, it is very hard to go back to feature packed applications which expose a bit too much to the user. Even though I am slowly transitioning to LaTeX, there are still minor documents which are much quicker done in LibreOffice. Additionally, my job also requires me to open and edit simple ODF or DOC files, so LibreOffice is a must. I’ve often mused about how great it would be to apply the simplified GTK3 layout to LibreOffice.
Now, before you start, I’m in no way advocating the full application of the Gnome HIG onto LibreOffice. That would hinder a lot of people in accepting it as an office suite, especially in more conservative workflows like traditional companies or government desktop setups. Yet it would be great if this formidable office suite offered a bit more freedom to adjust the toolbars and menubar more to the individual workflow. Here is a screenshot example of what I mean:
In my proposition, the GTK3 plug-in could have an option to use client-side decorations. It would be a simpler experience easier on the eyes. To not waste any additional vertical space and use the horizontal ones we’ve got plenty of since the introduction of wide screens, I would like most of the user interaction to happen within the side bar. Contrary to the default setting, I would like the side bar to be on the left. I had this idea while working within Gedit, which I rather like with its left side bar.
However, I’m not particularly happy with the static nature of the side bar in LibreOffice. I mean, it’s perfectly fine for me, but I wonder if we couldn’t make this more dynamic (maybe call it the “Smart Bar”) and have something of our own ribbon style menu.  I’m disgusted by the ribbon as much as the next guy, but I’ve been wondering why people like it so much. I mean, it’s ugly and on lower resoultions at least it takes away a quarter of the vertical screen real estate. I’ve found however that the dynamic nature of the ribbon exposes functionality to the user in quite an ingenious way: You click on a piece of text, you’ll get the character menu; you click on a footnote, you’ll get the footnote menu, etc. Wouldn’t it be great if our side bar could do that, too?
That would at least hush all the people who are frightened by the endless searches through the menus and cluttered toolbars. In additon, it wouldn’t waste vertical screen real estate like the ribbon does, but make use of the wast horizontal space that most UI designers ignore. I want to stress though that my propositions are a Gnome specific mock up and that I would hate to see any UI change like this be the only possibility. When Gnome changed, we’ve seen a lot of people complain about the lack of customisation, while others welcomed the change. I’ve grown to like the Gnome way, but I don’t think LibreOffice should ever be like Gnome. It should be more like KDE – offer the possibility of various UI customisations. So, if you like your 90s style menu bars and cluttered toolbars, so be it. If you’d like to have client-side decorations and a clean interface, that’s OK too. Similarly, if you’d like a static sidebar or a “smart” one, that should be your prerogative as well.

- Unlike the direct an topic exchanges, a fan-out message exchange does not use the RouteKey to determine
which queues a message should be delivered.
- Subscribers are only notified of the domain-events when they are connected to the exchange and bound to a queue.
- Publisher defines the exchange.
- Publisher does not know all consumers of the exchange.
- Subscribers create queues on the exchange.
- A random GUID value is appended to the queue name specified by the subscriber. This results in an uniquely
named queue being created for each connected subscribing client. If multiple, subscriber applications are
executing, domain-events will be delivered to all subscribers.
- When a subscribing client stops execution, all Fanout queues are automatically removed and recreated
when the client is restarted.
- Domain events are simple POCO classes.
- Domain events derive from the common base DomainEvent class used by all NetFusion plugins and components.
- Publisher defines a derived ExchangeRegistryBase class used to specify to which exchange a domain event should be delivered when published.
- The common IMessagingService implementation routes all domain events with a defined registry entry to RabbitMQ.
- As with in-process messaging, subscribers associate method handlers to be invoked when a domain event is received.
- The subscriber decorates a method with the FanOutQueueAttribute specifying the route-key(s) for which messages,with a matching route-key value, should be delivered.
- The FanOutQueueAttribute will create a queue and bind it to the exchange using the specified route-key values.
- Domain events represent something that has happened and to which other services are to be notified.
- Domain event should be immutable and defined withing a solution's domain project.
- Domain events published to fanout exchanges are often used for microservice notifications.
- It is best not to share types representing a domain event between solutions.
This example invokes a WebApi controller that
publishes a TemperatureReading representing a temperature reading.
The publisher defines a Registry used to specify the queue to which the domain-event is associated.
The subscribing console application defines a queue within the SampleFanoutHandler handler.
Enter the following temperature information and start multiple subscriber clients. Each client
will be notified when a domain-event is published.


A major issue with Blockchain today is the inherent limit to how Layer 1 can scale.
The Alacris Mutual Knowledge Base (MKB) is a blockchain agnostic scalability solution for Decentralized Applications (DApps).
The Alacris MKB leverages Mutual Knowledge to massively scale transactions using parallel optimistic evaluation, while relying on the Common Knowledge provided by traditional blockchains to resolve any potential conflict and disincentivize abuse. Above the “Layer 1”, i.e. the blockchains themselves, and below the “Layer 2”, i.e. the DApps, the Alacris MKB is a “Layer 1.5” solution.
To develop DApps that leverage our Scalability solution, you can use our Open Source APIs with your development platform of choice. And for a platform that automates away a lot of drudgery and potential bugs involved in developing DApps, see the language developed by our technology partner Mutual Knowledge Systems.
Mutual Knowledge Systems created Glow, a language that tremendously simplifies writing DApps, but just as importantly, verifying their correctness.
Nervos Network's new blockchain, the Common Knowledge Base, is designed to work hand in hand with Layer 2 scaling solutions such as the Alacris MKB.
The Alacris team is focused on building effective and efficient decentralized technology. We have years of industry experience in engineering, research, and product development for distributed systems and financial applications.

'Mission to Mars' (2000)
A movie review by Walter Frith
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Member of the 'Online Film Critics Society' http://www.ofcs.org
Cast - Gary Sinise, Don Cheadle, Connie Nielsen, Jerry O' Connell and Tim Robbins. Directed by - Brian De Palma Written by - Lowell Cannon, Jim Thomas, John Thomas, Graham Yost Produced by - Tom Jacobson (Rating) > Motion Picture Association of America - PG (Parental Guidance) / Rated PG for sci-fi violence and mild language. (Rating) > Ontario Film Review Board - PG (Parental Guidance) / Rated PG. May offend some. Frightening scenes. Running Length - 110 minutes. Distributor - Touchstone Pictures.
Brian De Palma. A man I have trouble accepting as a film director. Michael Cimino wins the Oscar for directing 'The Deer Hunter' in 1978 and then flops big time with 'Heaven's Gate', takes time off to recover and then is given the opportunity to direct 1985's 'Year of the Dragon' and then he is all but forgotten with the exception of only a few minor films since then. De Palma gets huge budgets for his films and flops at almost every single one of them. HOW DOES THIS MAN CONTINUE TO WORK IN HOLLYWOOD? This can only be truly understood by the film buff who shakes his or her head in disbelief whenever a Brian De Palma film comes out. De Palma just doesn't understand sub text. His films all have long static tracking shots of no interest and his films move along usually at the pace of being stuck in a traffic jam. 'Mission to Mars' has all of the ingredients of a Brian De Palma film without the usual trait of trying to copy Alfred Hitchcock.
It is 2020 and people are still the same. They live in houses, have kids, barbecues, drink beer and appreciate their friendships. Jim McConnell (Gary Sinise) is a man still suffering the loss of his spouse. Luke Graham (Don Cheadle) is the captain of the first human exploration to the red planet, Mars. Jim and Luke take Woody Blake and Terry Fisher (Tim Robbins and Connie Nielsen) and Phil Ohlmyer (Jerry O'Connell) and a couple of other astronauts with them. The space frontier holds many mysteries and NASA has lost probes near Mars before so who knows if an exploration of Mars should ever be attempted. Some believe that a cosmic whirlwind or some other scientific force caused particles from Mars to drift to Earth and that our ancestry and entire life force is indeed Martian in nature and this is what 'Mission to Mars' tries to explain with an "in your FACE" style of presentation. You'll know what I mean by the quotation marks and capital letters after you've seen the film.
Luke and some others explore Mars and all are killed except for Luke and a rescue mission begins to find them. This is the first major problem the film has and it's a problem I had with Oliver Stone's 'Born on the Fourth of July' in 1989. We go from one normal scene to a completely different one without any transition in viewing it. In the case of Stone's film, it showed Tom Cruise from his rainy prom night to his immediate tour of duty in Vietnam. 'Mission to Mars' goes from Earth quickly to the mission without showing us anything about the departure from our world. A film needs a send off like the launching of Apollo 13 in the film of the same name from 1995. 1997's 'Contact' had the major blast off shown in quite a different way but at least it was there. You simply can't get an audience fully interested in your main frame of story telling if you don't show them how they get there in order to know where they're going next.
There is one totally tedious part of 'Mission to Mars' where a space walk takes place in order to retrieve a craft and one of the rescue crew dies and it is one of the most boring things you will ever see on film. In 1984's '2010', we see two astronauts about to board the Discovery. One is American and one is Russian. The space walk is quick, timed perfectly with reflective dialogue of their situation along the way. There are no long shots that go on and on and on. De Palma had me looking at my watch several times during this scene and during the film in general.
The performances in this film are nothing to rave about either. They are standard, lack depth and have only a flurry of interest towards the end of the film. The film also has a problem with theories and proof of geographical origins such as the notion of continental drift. Many of the insights the film projects about the world we know of make us say, "Okay, I've known or suspected that for sometime. Why can't this movie create a situation or theory I can think about long after I leave the theatre." Isn't that the point of most good science fiction?
About the only thing I liked in 'Mission to Mars' were the visuals and the fact that the film did run under two hours, thank God. It really looked and felt like Mars and being partial to a good soundtrack, the film had many sound effects that provided much needed ear candy and the eye candy helped out a great deal. The film sort of feels like ordering from a menu in a restaurant and upon finding out that they don't have your meal on the menu, you settle for second best and comment that although you didn't get what you wanted, it was still pretty good. De Palma does deserve some credit for this film which is better in its second half but it still is a far cry from good science fiction, which playing second fiddle to comedy, is the hardest thing to pull off successfully in motion pictures. Let's hope that De Palma doesn't try to be (intentionally) funny anytime soon.

--- layout: post title: ! 'Following the error: Spring Autowired and bean collectors' tags: - followin the error - spring - java ---
Hi there,
Today’s following the error will feature Spring dependency injection framework. Spring is very popular in the Java world, and have a bunch of helpful classes.
There is a lot of documentation < http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.3/reference/beans.html >
Lets start setting up some context.
Beans… BEANS…
Imagine this scenario: You want a program that will have Extractor’s, and a class that will pick all those Extractor’s and run it. It is quite simple.
So, to use it with Sprin beans, which are components that can be injected around your code, you annotate it with @Component. @Autowired annotations will try to assign components that match that type.
The get an object with the variables annotated filled with values you rely on the Spring Context.
I wont be explaining much of the context.xml, but that is what Spring will read to setup the beans and scan your code for @Component’s annotations.
Oh… So Spring can do that?!
So far, so good. Now we just need to feed that list of Extractor’s to the component. But how to do that?
A cool thing of the dependency injection system that Springs implements is that when you @Autowire a List, it will select all the beans that match the type of the List and put it there.
It means that if I create several different extractors, all of then will be injected into that list.
We just need to create our different beans to get our little app working.
That is pretty cool.
And the requirement changes.
We were happy that everything was coming up together, and the world changes. We need to have different Extractor’s for different Spring Profiles. We have one profile that includes 3 extractors, and another one that have 0.
"That is pretty easy. You just need to skip the creation of the beans."
Yes.
Let the errors begin.
No.
Let’s see. Hum, no matching bean type. Oh, there is no Extractor’s now. It requires an Extractor to inject. But what I want is an empty list if it does not exist.
Lets see if we can say “Hey, that is not required”.
@Autowired( required = false )
We discover that the @Autowired annotation have an option to say it is not required. “Yes” - you say.
Ok, let’s try it out.
Not again… “But I just said it is not required”.
I tried searching on the documentation about another ways to say something is not required. There is a @Required tag, but it is only possible to use on fields, not on methods or type annotations.
Lets dive in the code.
After spending some time struggling with annotations and tweaking configurations I decide to take a look on the source code for Spring.
It is a big framework, but the last stacktrace have some clues on where to start digging.
org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.doResolveDependency(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:774)
That is where I start. The code is a bit dense to read, and after a while, reading both the code and the documentation I understand what the @Autowired( required = false ) means.
On the url < http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/beans/factory/annotation/Autowired.html > you see that you can have multiple @Autowired’s constructors.
On the documentation there is this line < http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.0.M3/reference/html/ch04s11.html >
but multiple non-required constructors can be annotated. In that case, each will be considered among the candidates and Spring will use the greediest constructor whose dependencies can be satisfied.
Reading the code something clicks in my mind. Saying that @Autowired is not require only means that it will skip the injection of the beans in case of failure, but because it is the constructor, it cannot create the component at all if it skips.
Fixing the code
We need to fix to things to keep coding. One is to create the component if there is no components and the other is to keep an empty list for the Extractor’s list.
To create a component without @Autowired, Spring tries to use the default constructor for the object. We create a constructor and annotate it with @Deprecated in order to inform other people that you shouldn’t use that constructor.
Spring is happily creating our component now.
Now that we know that a @Autowired(required = false) do, we can use it.
Because it will skip the initialisation using that method due to the error on the missing bean, Spring will fallback to the default constructor only in this case.
Then, we can initialise the list with an empty list, as we wanted before.


Open Access in Asia started in the form of subject gateways, informal collections of articles on web pages and directories. Subsequently the region witnessed the transition to open access journals and full text repositories and digital libraries; however the region has not been able to be very vocal and ongoing about openness due to some major challenges. The region as a whole has seen rapid industrial advance with governments investing significantly in R&D. Such investment has shown a direct bearing on scientific productivity and reporting though not directly or always in Open Access journals.
The Global Innovation index (GII) report, 2014 shows that the Democratic Republic of Korea holds world's first rank in terms of Gross Expenditures on Research and Innovation (GERD) in 2011; Singapore, China, Malaysia, India and Hong Kong also rank among the top 50. The Directory of Open Access Repositories currently registers 586 OA repositories from Asia. In total, this corresponds to 44% of total institutional repositories in OpenDOAR. Japan, India, China and Taiwan are major contributors in Asia. However populating these repositories has been a major challenge due to the lack of open access awareness and the tendency to get published in the conventional model of publishing.
Now is the prime need for an Asian Regional Meeting in order to assess the lacking this region has been facing in terms of open scholarly communication.
