macrumors 6502
Original poster

My 2012 mini won't go to sleep by itself after upgrade. Only problem so far.
Also my macpro won't sleep after Catalina... The command say it's Time Machine that prevent it from sleep. But Time Machine has finished the backup and is not running.In the Terminal, pmset -g assertions will tell you what processes are keeping your Mac awake. In my case, MDS (Spotlight) wanted to do a full refresh that took a couple of days.
I also have this option and I have an iMac.Sounds good if it works. But how to wake your Mac remotely if "wake for network access" is turned off? Strangely, I also don't have the first option "prevent computer from sleeping...". Might have to do with your Cinema Display.
Per Apple Support website for sleep options, Mac Mini does not have the first option, which explains why I don't see it with my 2012 Mac Mini, while you see it on your iMac. I see the second screen below. But I don't know how the earlier poster is getting it with his 2014 Mac Mini as he states.I also have this option and I have an iMac.
Yeh but what agents? What did activity monitor say in the prevent sleep column? Maybe you should put some effort into solving the problem yourself rather than just posting abrupt comments. You clearly didn't do anything i mentioned above, so good luck with your problem.pmset -g says: (sleep prevented by UserEventAgent)
pmset -g assertions says: IODisplayWrangler
Will be waiting for next update.
UserEventAgent was the process preventing sleep in my case. It prevents the system from sleeping on a freshly installed Catalina (no 3rd party apps), and only a keyboard and mouse plugged in. UserEventAgent was misbehaving and only goes back to normal (i.e. disappears when no user inputs are active) until it was killed twice.I have had this problem for some time and now have it solved. The first thing to do is find out what it is that is actually stopping your mac from sleeping.
Type: pmset -g assertions in terminal and that will give you some idea.
The next thing to do is open activity monitor and enable the column called "prevent sleep". Here you can see everything that is currently keeping your mac awake. After that is is just trial and error with different process to see which one was ACTUALLY keeping your mac awake, as most of them will cease when the screen goes off, so just test them one by one.
After than, i use an app called "eventscripts" here - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/eventscripts/id525319418?mt=12
I run scripts to exit the guilty apps as soon as my screen goes off. This was the second my screen goes black, the apps are quit enabling the machine to go to sleep. For me it is Spotify and Boom2 audio engine.
Hope this helps 👍

2019 Preliminary Program of Events (Updated)
A preliminary programme of events for the 2019 Funky Fynbos Festival taking place on the 21st and 22nd of September.
Time and Date
Lomond Canoe Marathon Program
Mini Marathon
As the successful, but slightly dry, WC River season winds down, it is time to wash the dust off your flat-water skills! The Lomond mini-Marathon is an ideal opportunity for this with a fun filled multi-sport festival to entice your non-paddling friends and family! Share it with a friend and continue to spread the Breede marathon nurture-a-novice mojo! Use it as prep for the great Fish River Marathon just 2 weeks on! It will certainly be one of the tougher events on the loyal seconder's calendar so be sure to get it in their diaries ASAP!
P.S. Lots of treats on hand to reward their devotion!
The course is a 6km lap around the periphery of the dam.
A fast start in the shelter of the dam wall breaks to a 90-degree left hand corner before heading into the chase to reach Giel's Break. This bends right and hard left round the buoy through shallower water in the cove and will shake an unwary tail setting up the pull to the hairpin at the top of the dam. This turn takes you back to the north bank and heading homeward. After rounding out from the riverine section of the dam the 2.5km back to the finish line will test your strength, fitness and technique. Paddlers in the short race cross the finish line while middle and long jump out for a short portage to stretch legs and woo the eagerly waiting crowds! It is one more lap for middlers and two, with a second portage, for the courageous long distance entries.
Enter online here or at the venue on the day.
This year's race will be a K1 event. However, all racing craft are welcome to participate. Prizes on the day for 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female in each distance. Age group categories will be recorded and published after the race.
Please bring life jackets and splashies. While we will do our best to host the event as advertised conditions on the day may require changes to ensure safe paddling.
Guppy Marathon
Oh YES! It is time for the toughest Guppy race in the whole of the world!
Or at least in our little bit of paradise out here in the Overberg! Picture it! Exhausted seconds chill out on the grassy banks of the Lomond Dam while their doting paddlers ply them with suitable treats for a season's hectic competition. In the foreground, the intrepid Guppy crew prepare their boats for the test to come. Hordes of envious mountain bikers surround the sleek [code for "slightly tubby"] forms of the lightweight racing shells laid out across the grass. Those paddlers not signing autographs are nervously instructing their boat handlers [code for "mom" or "dad"] in specific requirements for the upcoming portage! Nutritional supplements? Check. Drag-line for competitors' boat? Check. Funny hat, mask or other ridiculous items to be worn by boat handlers? Check!
Yip! The Great Lomond Guppy Race will feature a portage for the U10 and U12 classes! A second will be permitted to assist - and ONLY to assist - in carrying the boats through. However, all seconds doing so must wear the aforementioned funny hat, mask or ridiculous item while doing so. Spot prizes to be awarded to the most photogenic examples!
The route for the Guppy race will be the same fast start along the dam wall followed earlier by the geriatric mob. After the sprint, turn left around the fish tanks and then head up along the bank to the first buoy. Left at the buoy and head across the dam - safety boats will be in attendance - to the second buoy. Another left and paddlers will be on the home straight. U8 head for the finish line. U10 and U12 cut in at the portage to enjoy the cheers of the adoring spectators! U10 will complete one more lap and U12 need to tough it out for another two. Laps are 1.5km long giving total distances of approx. 1.5km, 3km and 4.5km for each race.
Enter online here or at the venue on the day.
Only official Guppy racing boats permitted! Prizes on the day for 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female in each distance. Race distance is restricted to the appropriate age group.
Lifejackets are compulsory for all Guppy paddlers. Splashies may be worn but coaches and parents should ensure the competitor is competent in their safe use. While we will do our best to host the event as advertised conditions on the day may require changes to ensure safe paddling. Sweeps and safety boats will be on the water with the racers.
Spring has sprung, flowers are blooming, birds are happily singing, and outdoor enthusiasts everywhere are gearing up for a brand-new season in the great outdoors.

Water Production Management-PDO's Successful Application of Expandable Technology
Water production management starts to play a more important role as reservoirs mature. Production logging is required to identify watered out intervals in producers and thief zones in injectors. The interpretation of logs acquired in horizontal, barefoot wells in highly fractured, heterogeneous, carbonate reservoirs is challenging at least. Yet this technique has been successfully applied in Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) in the Yibal and Al Huwaisah fields (Fig. 1) and has lead to significant production improvements after the subsequent water shut off. Expandable Open Hole Clad (OHC) systems, with external seals, have been deployed to shut off water in both horizontal producers and injectors. The seal between the expanded pipe and the formation is further enhanced by elastomers with the ability to swell upon contact with formation fluids. Case histories are presented to demonstrate the viability of this new technology.

DSpace is an institutional repository system which enables easy deposit, preservation, and access for all types of digital content.
Licensing and cost
The code is released under a BSD Open Source License. It is free to download and use.
DuraSpace offers a hosted version, DSpaceDirect, on a subscription basis.
Development Activity
DSpace 4.2 was released in July 2014. The development roadmap indicates that version 5.0 is in preparation at the time of writing.
Platform and interoperability
DSpace is written in Java, providing a web based interface that can be installed in Linux, Mac OSX or Windows environments. It requires either a PostgreSQL or Oracle database. The software comes with plugins for most university authentication methods, including: LDAP (and hierarchical LDAP), Shibboleth, X.509, and IP-based.
Functional Notes
The DSpace data model is intended to reflect the structure of the organization using the system. Each DSpace site is divided into communities, which can be further divided into sub-communities reflecting the typical university structure of college, department, research centre, or laboratory. Communities contain collections, which are groupings of related content. Each collection is composed of items, which are the basic archival elements of the archive. Items are further subdivided into named bundles of bitstreams.
Workflows are unidirectional – e.g. an item can't move from Live to Pending.
DSpace administrators can create multiple user roles, which allows for extremely fine-tuned access rights.
Documentation and user support
DSpace offers a wealth of documentation and user support. The website includes an extensive Documentation Wiki, and supports a number of mailing lists. Users can report and track errors through a JIRA system. The site also links to tutorials, how-to's, and other training materials.
As of 2014, there are nine registered service providers offering presumably fee-based support alongside other services. DSpace also has an Ambassador Program, which attempts to identify a DSpace user in every country or region who is willing to volunteer to be a point of contact for organizations just getting started.
DSpace does not include an installation and configuration tool, or 'wizard,' which makes these processes time consuming and challenging for users without system administration training.
A number of organisations using DSpace have performed usability analyses of their repositories. While the overall structure works well, many organisations found that naming conventions were sometimes confusing for users. In addition, many users expected that the search mechanism would automatically include a Boolean AND, which is not the case.
Expertise required
Installation and configuration greatly benefit from system administration knowledge, as well as a deep understanding of repository structures and workflows.
Standards compliance
DSpace supports OAI-PMH, OAI-ORE, SWORD, SWORD2, WebDAV, OpenSearch, OpenURL, RSS, and ATOM.
DSpace metadata uses the Dublin Core standard.
Influence and take-up
As of 2014, over 1790 organizations use the DSpace software in a production or project environment. DuraSpace maintains a DSpace User Registry listing all known DSpace instances.

The Threat of Team and the Life Business: A Rebuttal, Part 2
Here is part 2 (If you have not read Part 1, you can follow the link here).
Alleged claim: "The Team Tends to "Peddle" the Gospel."
Rebuttal: This assessment from Pastor Marriott is also very disappointing to read. If Pastor Marriott would seek facts instead of biased opinions from a misunderstood third party, he would have never come to this conclusion.
First of all, this is a business, and there is nothing wrong with showcasing profit potential to meet people's needs in the marketplace. The fact that Life Leadership's materials contain Biblical references just makes common sense, because the source of absolute truth is the Bible! Where else would they get it?? Pastor Marriott should be proud that Life Leadership is not ashamed of the Gospel! In fact, this is vital to marketplace ministry (and where many outreach programs fall short) – if you help a person make a few hundred dollars to relieve some financial strain, you may just earn their trust and an opportunity to share your faith to open ears. Or, in the process of serving lost souls, you have a chance to be a living example of how a Christian should behave (where without the business relationship, the door would be closed).
For additional perspective, I highly recommend reading a few articles from Raymond Abernathy. Raymond is an itinerant Pastor in the St. Louis, MO area who is in high demand, speaking to churches and congregations all over the greater St. Louis area. Raymond has done a great deal of scriptural research and has written a few fantastic articles on this issue. Follow the links below:
How Does the Christian balance faith and works in the Life Business
Are Christians free to profit in business or from the work of the ministry?
Preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words. -Francis of Assisi
Pastor Marriott writes, "if the goal is wealth and not people, the goal is wrong". Where he got the Life Leadership business wrong is that the goal IS to develop people! The wealth produced is a measuring stick of how many people you have served and how many problems you have solved. This is a very common misunderstanding among Pastors – they tend to have a shallow understanding of economics and how money is really made in a free-market economy.
Alleged claim: "The Team Tends to Detract from the Local Church".
Rebuttal: This one is very sad and borderline laughable! Pastor Marriott implies that church members must choose between being faithful to their church or to the Life business? Um… there is no reason whatsoever that a Christian can't do both – be highly active in the Life Leadership business AND highly active in one's local church. Just because Tuesday at 8PM may conflict with some church events does not constitute a breach of faithfulness. Furthermore, Life Leadership hosts 3 weekend conferences per year – and at these conferences the Gospel message is shared on Sunday morning. This is hardly a detraction from local church!
This topic is a very slippery slope for all Pastors. The danger is called "churchianity", which is when a church places a larger emphasis on the habits of church life or the institutional traditions of the church than on a person's walk and relationship with Jesus Christ (John 6:39).
In some cases, there is also a double standard going on here. For example, if a person was required to travel, work overtime or even take a second shift position for work – the Pastor doesn't post an article online saying, "Danger: XYZ company puts employees in a position where they must choose between faithfulness to the local church or faithfulness to the XYZ organization"! Or a small business owner is not criticized for being in business every Tuesday evening and one Saturday evening a month! This claim is ridiculous.
The last item in the in this claim mentions that Life Leadership members are encouraged to counsel with the person who signed them up rather than a pastor or elder. This blanket statement is false. The leaders of Life Leadership simply teach Matthew 7:16-17 for all areas of life: 'Check the fruit on the tree'. In most cases, a person's pastor or church elder is certainly the best source of biblical counsel. However, when it comes to detailed questions about business ownership or personal finances, many Pastors and elders simply do not have the "fruit on the tree". Therefore, when it comes to getting answers on how to become successful in business, it is good advice to seek advice from successful people in your industry. Life Leadership is not and never will be a replacement for the type of guidance you should receive from the Bible (including a Pastor or elder who can help you navigate the scriptures).
Alleged claim: "Team Tends to Place Unbiblical Expectations upon Christian Families".
Rebuttal: This allegation, once again, is derived from opinion and not fact. This is a very shallow assessment and could not be further from the truth. If Pastor Marriott had interviewed any of the leaders in Life Leadership who have attained the levels of success that give the choice to leave a day job, he would have a different opinion.
If you meet any of the "financially independent" leaders, you will find that they do not sit around the house and do nothing. They have a heightened sense of Luke 12:48 "…For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more". Top leaders have replaced jobs that they found unfulfilling and replace those jobs with the joys of service through business ownership. The top leaders that are free from jobs are encouraged to read more, serve more and focus on finding more ways to be a blessing to others. Pastor Marriott's claims are based upon gross misunderstandings and twisted facts.
That being said, the meetings I have been to simply promote "live the life you have always wanted". This is vastly different for all people. Many people love their jobs and Life Leadership has always taught that you should be excellent at that job. Then if the job income is not enough to sustain you, then use Life Leadership as a way to close the gap. This does not even address the fact that most Americans, including Christians, are trapped in the Debt Matrix scam and can see no way out. This violates multiple scripture (Luke 14:28, Proverbs 22:7 and Romans 13:8) which very few churches address today. For example, the top selling product that Life Leadership promotes is the Financial Fitness Pack. This pack talks about how to be a better steward of your money by systematically getting out of debt, and then how to store up wealth for times of tribulation (a rainy day). This is the focus of Life Leadership, not getting rich and becoming a sluggard at home as Pastor Marriott has falsely concluded.
Finally, It is OK to dream for more success. After all, isn't that why God saw fit to tell us about heaven? In the striving for something greater than we have, we force ourselves to get out of our "comfort zone" and improve both personally and professionally. I think Jesus was very clear about this when speaking to his disciples about the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30.
Alleged claim: "Team Inadvertently functions through the lens of retribution theology".
Rebuttal: Again, this claim makes it obvious that Pastor Marriott has done no extensive research on the Team/Life Leadership organization. The leadership knows there are no guarantees of physical reward for obedience – this is reinforced an all training CDs and business support material. Life Leaders consistently acknowledge that every person's journey is different.
Of course God uses suffering to bring about conformity to the image of His Son. I am sure that the leaders of Life agree with Pastor Marriott 100% on this one. The purpose of Life Leadership is not to address God's trials, only to address consequences of bad decision making. Let me explain the difference (in case you are confused on this one): For example, lets look at somebody that chooses to run up massive credit card debt and then for many years after, endures tremendous emotional strife: this is not the hand of God putting this person through a Job-like trial, this is a consequence for not applying financial truths. Another example would be when a husband or wife consistently treat each other poorly, yelling, arguing and ignoring each other. Eventually, they seek counseling for a bad marriage. This is not some mysterious trial or a test from God, this also is a consequence for years of poor behavior and not applying simple relational truths. These consequences are what Life Leadership is seeking to teach people about, not some attempt to circumvent God's trials!
In Conclusion, this article by Pastor Marriott is full of rumor, hearsay and founded in data from negative third party experiences. If you are doing research and considering joining the Life Leadership business, you will find that your experience will not be anything like Pastor Marriott describes in his blog. Instead, you will have a tremendous amount of flexibility and support. You will have access to world class leadership information. You will experience a grace filled organization (as opposed to a law filled organization). You will learn fantastic truth principles that will help you live the live you always wanted. You will be challenged but also welcomed no matter what your past is and what your goals are. You will find that the founding group of leaders are all Christian, God fearing men and women that truly want to make a difference by creating a level playing field for success. Unfortunately, because individuals have a lot of freedom, they make mistakes and sometimes do not represent the model Life Leadership example; then you get to read about this poor example from folks like Pastor Marriott. I am sure he means well, but he simply did not seek the facts from the source. That is why I had to write this letter. Life Leadership is a truly incredible organization that is a force for good in this fallen world. I encourage you to go to the next live event and see for yourself.
God Bless

Implant-Supported Dentures
Tired of your dentures slipping out of your mouth? Want to be able to chew better and have more function in your bite? We provide solutions with dentures supported by implants.
We Offer Innovative Implant-Supported Overdentures to Complete Your Smile!
At All-in-One Dental Innovations, Dr. James Huang has given implant-supported overdenture a new name. Our innovative implant-supported overdenture is designed to help those with missing or broken teeth complete their smile and feel beautiful again.
Dr. Huang is highly skilled and delivers a high level of patient care that you deserve when you undergo dental implant treatment for a more comfortable, permanent smile. Although cosmetic dentistry or oral surgery may seem scary at first, Dr. Huang and the team at All-in-One Dental Innovations are here to help.
Schedule a consultation with All-In-One Dental Innovations today by requesting an appointment online or giving us a call at (925) 828-9811.
Is an Implant-Supported Denture Right for Your Situation?
Dental implants are a popular treatment for those patients that want to replace missing teeth and restore your natural smile. While dental implants use small titanium anchors permanently placed onto your lower and/or upper jaw bone, and implant therapy is typically prescribed for those people with multiple missing teeth, or those missing all of their teeth.
For those that need partial or complete dentures, implant-supported overdentures are the best option. Overdentures are replacement teeth that are retained by dental implants. They were originally developed to help partial and fully edentulous patients to help them restore their confidence and quality of life. When dental implants integrate with the patient's bone, the overdenture and implants will act like your natural teeth.
There are three types of overdenture treatments available. The first being implant-retained, sum supported overdenture treatment rests directly on your gums and is retained by implants placed into the upper and/or lower jaw. It is removable, secured through retentive attachments incorporated into the denture. This type of overdenture is the "minimum" care for fully edentulous patients.
Implant-supported overdenture includes bar-retained and fixed options, with the fixed options being the most expensive of the two. The overdenture and bar are a one-piece framework secured with screws to implants placed into the upper and/or lower jaw, and only a dentist can remove it. Bar-retained overdenture treatments, however, engage retentive attachments on a metal bar that connects to the patient's implants, and this bar is placed into the jaw. This overdenture is removable.
There are several benefits for those patients who choose to undergo an implant-supported overdenture treatment:
- Promotes Better Digestion
- Slows Bone Loss In the Jaw
- Helps to Retain Facial Features and Structure
- More Comfortable than Alternatives
The reasons behind a patient's lost teeth never matter at All-in-1 Dental. Dr. Huang and his experienced team are not here to judge, only to make sure you receive the treatments that are best for your situation. When you've scheduled your appointment, you'll be able to discuss your situation and help us restore your smile and your self-confidence.

When you've scheduled your appointment, you'll be able to discuss your situation and help us restore your smile and your self-confidence.
Missing Teeth Getting You Down?
Have you ever felt embarrassed about gaps in your smile? Does it simply feel incomplete when you smile? When you have missing teeth, you may be afraid to smile at all. At All-in-One Dental Innovations, Dr. James Huang and his team are dedicated to helping you smile again – and smile comfortably. Missing teeth may be caused by multiple factors:
- Sports Injuries
- Workplace Injuries and Other Physical
- Traumas
- Untreated Gum Disease
- Genetics
Especially when missing teeth are located at the front, the reasons fall by the wayside and you simply feel the missing pieces. Even those with natural confidence will find that they want to fill in these gaps. They want to better their smile. When you want to fill the gaps caused by missing teeth, you can consider dentures, bridges, or dental implants to complete your smile.
What Are the Alternatives to an Implant-Supported Denture?
Dentures are a more affordable option to implant-supported overdenture treatments. However, they are not as natural-looking and they are only held in by dental adhesive. They do not always make eating and speaking easier for patients as there is a chance for them to slip around and even fall out – this is just as embarrassing as missing teeth for some. Bridgework is more permanent and doesn't slip around, but it does not allow for a more natural look. If you aren't concerned about a natural-looking smile and only want to make sure that the adjoining teeth are protected and do not grow together or cause other problems.
Implant-supported overdentures, however, and dental implant treatments are preferable to these alternatives because they are more permanent, natural, and you can get the right amount of implants for your individual situation. Still, if you are considering these alternatives, speak to Dr. Huang during your initial consultation and he can help you find out which option is best for you.
A Unique Solution to Your Unique Situation
When you are looking to complete your smile and feel confident again, your best option is a dental implant treatment customized for you by Dr. James Huang. Dental implants and most implant treatments may last up to 25 years, which is preferable to other dental replacement alternatives for many patients. With the help of Dr. Huang, you will be able to take care of them easily and ensure they last as long as they should.
When you schedule your initial consultation, Dr. Huang will explain the procedure, risks, and costs with you. Dedicated to open and honest communication, there is no need to be concerned about surprises regarding your implant-supported overdenture treatment. Although overdenture treatments cost more than traditional dentures, they are less expensive than individual dental implants. For many patients, it is well worth the cost to have a more lasting option to traditional dentures. Our staff is highly skilled, so you can be sure that you are in the best hands to create a newer, more confident smile.
Typically, healing time will vary for each patient. Although we understand the uniqueness of each situation, it generally takes 4 to 6 months for the jawbone to fuse completely with the implant. During that time, you will be fitted for a temporary crown to ensure a beautiful smile during the healing process

So add this one to your creepy dystopian nightmare-fuel bin: In the war on supposed gaming addiction, at least one corporation is hoping to use facial recognition to stop kids from playing games.
The company here is Tencent, because of course it is; according to the BBC, it's testing facial recognition for "thousands" of players of the extremely popular Honour of Kings mobile title in major Chinese cities. (You'll recognize it better from its global name, Arena of Valor.)
"Under pressure from local regulators, Tencent introduced restrictions in July 2017 to limit under-12s to one hour of gameplay a day and 13- to 18-year-olds to a maximum of two hours," the Beeb reports. "Last month, the company added a real-name registration system to encourage players to keep to the rules. The facial-recognition test appears to be a further effort to discourage young players from trying to circumvent the time limits."
The move appears to be pertinent to China's ongoing video game industry regulation, which has worried scientists, halted game launches in the region, and wounded Tencent's stock value in particular.

When I first got to the point with my depression where I could actually do things beyond struggle to exist, I never had the problem of giving too much to anything. I gave as much as I could, and I didn't give more than that, because I couldn't. My capacity to stretch myself, push myself, simply didn't go that far.
I'm now much further down the road in my recovery from those darkest days, and that means that capacity is larger. Not only that, but I have more room with it than I use on a normal basis – I have the ability to push myself to the limits of my abilities and even beyond them. This is incredibly new to me and, as such, I'm getting it wrong. A lot.
So today I want to talk about why I end up giving too much, and what I'm trying to do about it.
I'm afraid of letting people down by not giving enough.
When I was at my sickest, it was impressive if I managed to complete minimal human function, like getting out of bed, eating, or getting dressed. It was hard to let people down in that state, because there wasn't a lot of down for me to go to.
Now that I'm better, I'm at a much higher level of functioning. There's a lot more down. So if I falter, and I do, it feels like I've not just failed myself but all of the people who helped me get to this point.
I'm also much more cognisant of what I've put the people around me through. The fact that they have stayed with me and loved me through all of it means I don't want to do anything to risk that, or reward it with my failure.
Then of course there's the fact that running my own business means I have the newfound capacity to let people down professionally. If I don't manage a scheduled blog post, I've let all of you down. If I have a bad day and can't really give much to my social media presence, I've let you down. There are so many ways I can do it.
All of this means it's incredibly easy to overcompensate. To push and push and start giving too much out of fear of not hitting the bar.
This is one of the things I've found hardest to deal with. I have tried to remind myself that the bar needs to be placed realistically. Running a business is something I'm learning to do, something where I will raise the bar slowly over time, and that's okay. I try to talk to myself like I would if it was a close friend in this situation, and point out that the only reward overextending gives is ultimately breaking you.
But it's hard. It's really hard. And most of the time, the majority of my stress comes from this fear.
I feel like I have to give more to prove my value.
I am so proud of and grateful for the life I have made for myself, but it's not a traditional one. Yes, I know it's the right life for me, for now at least, but I still find it hard to deal with the oddness of it.
Because it feels, to me – to my depression and anxiety – like I have to work even harder to prove myself. As if it's fine for everyone in traditional employment to have days where they don't achieve much, but I cannot. Because I have to 'prove' that my way of living is justified.
On top of this, I also feel a really strong obligation to make up for lost time. I'm 30, and this is the first paid job I've held down for any period of time. I look at the people around me, who have been working for so much longer, and I feel like I have to go at a much greater pace to catch up.
And if that wasn't enough, depression also loves to make you think that you are worth less than other people. If you're in an abnormal situation of any kind, that just gets even worse. Not only are you making an unhelpful comparison, but it's an inherently skewed one.
To help deal with this, I try to remind myself periodically how far I've come. Going from not being able to get out of bed to being self-employed, publishing a novel, all of these things is incredible. I'm incredibly fortunate to have people around me who remind me of this too, when I can't quite hear it from myself.
Comparison sucks, but comparing to my past self really helps me. It gives me perspective, and reminds me that it's not a constant upward curve. It wiggles a bit, but I'm still going upwards.
I don't yet have a good perspective on how much I can do.
This is ultimately the greatest reason I end up giving too much. This capacity to do more is still so, so new to me – and it's not constant. What I find myself giving to things one day might be too much, and another day perfectly fine.
On top of that it's changing each time. It's a muscle. The more I push myself, the stronger it gets – but I can also overextend, and injure myself. But if I didn't push at all, I would never get stronger. Finding that balance is incredibly hard, and I think the key to being compassionate to yourself in this situation is to acknowledge that.
And to do that, to exercise that muscle properly, I have to let myself fail. I have to accept that I might let people down. That I might make unhelpful comparisons.
But as long as I keep thinking about it and keep moving forward, I'm not completely failing. I'm just getting further on that path to success.
Thank you so much for reading! It means a lot to me to have a place to share these thoughts, and to know they help others. If you want to say thank you and show your support, I've got a guide on the ways you can do that here.

OSU medical records linked
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is now implementing a direct feed from the Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System (OARRS) to improve and streamline efforts to decrease opioid abuse and addiction.
The OARRS database tracks the dispensing of controlled substances from retail pharmacies in Ohio. Healthcare professionals who write prescriptions for controlled substances are required to check the database in various situations.
"With (the) activation of the OARRS feed into the medical center's electronic medical record system, we're making it more efficient for our physicians and nurses to fulfill this requirement, without having to log into a separate system and search for the patient," said Dr. Andrew Thomas, chief medical officer. "It's now much easier for our prescribers to help prevent abuse of controlled substances while caring for our patients."
Through Ohio State's "Community Connect" model, this direct connection to the OARRS database will also be available at three other hospital systems in the region that purchase electronic medical record services from Ohio State Wexner Medical Center.
"Ohio is a national leader in increasing the use of its prescription monitoring program through direct integration with electronic medical records and pharmacy dispensing systems. By increasing the use of OARRS, Ohio healthcare professionals have more opportunities to intervene when they see warning signs of addiction in order to get Ohioans the help they need," said Steven W. Schierholt, executive director of the Ohio Board of Pharmacy.
"We thank Governor Kasich's office, the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, the Ohio Board of Pharmacy and Epic for investing in and supporting this effort. We look forward to working with other institutions in Ohio as they move forward with similar projects," Thomas said.
Price of food even influences what health issues we worry about
COLUMBUS – Consumers believe healthy food must be more expensive than cheap eats and that higher-priced food is healthier – even when there is no supporting evidence, according to new research.
The results mean not only that marketers can charge more for products that are touted as healthy, but that consumers may not believe that a product is healthy if it doesn't cost more, researchers say.
And this belief in the health power of expensive foods may lead people to some other surprising conclusions.
For example, people in one study thought eye health was a more important issue for them when they were told about an expensive but unfamiliar food ingredient that would protect their vision. If the same ingredient was relatively cheap, people didn't think the issue it treated – eye health – was as important.
"It's concerning. The findings suggest that price of food alone can impact our perceptions of what is healthy and even what health issues we should be concerned about," said Rebecca Reczek, co-author of the study and professor of marketing at The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business.
Reczek conducted the study with Kelly Haws of Vanderbilt University and Kevin Sample of the University of Georgia. Their results appear online in the Journal of Consumer Research.
Reczek said she and her colleagues conducted the study to examine the lay theory that we have to pay more to eat healthfully. Lay theories are the common-sense explanations people use to understand the world around them, whether they are true or not.
Messages consistent with the healthy = expensive lay theory are all around us, she said. One example is the "Whole Paycheck" nickname people have given to Whole Foods, which touts itself as "America's Healthiest Grocery Store."
There are certainly categories of food where healthy is more expensive, such as some organic and gluten-free products, Reczek said. But it is not necessarily true all the time. Still, this research wasn't meant to investigate the true relationship between healthy foods and price – just people's perceptions of that relationship.
The researchers conducted five related studies, all with different participants. In one, participants were given information on what they were told was a new product called "granola bites," which was given a health grade of either A- or C. They were then asked to rate how expensive the product would be. Participants who were told the health grade was A- thought the granola bites would be more expensive than did those who were told the grade was C.
In a second study, the researchers found that the healthy = expensive belief operates in both directions. In this study, participants rated a breakfast cracker that they were told was more expensive as healthier than an identical cracker that cost less.
But could this lay belief influence how people act? In the next experiment, a different group of people was asked to imagine that a co-worker had asked them to order lunch for them. Half the people were told the co-worker wanted a healthy lunch, while the others weren't give any instructions.
On a computer screen, participants were given their choice of two different chicken wraps to choose for their co-worker, one called the Chicken Balsamic Wrap and the other called the Roasted Chicken Wrap. The ingredients were listed for both.
The key was that for some participants the Chicken Balsamic Wrap was listed as more expensive, and for others the Roasted Chicken Wrap cost more.
Results showed that when participants were asked to pick the healthiest option, they were much more likely to choose the more expensive chicken wrap – regardless of which one it was.
"People don't just believe that healthy means more expensive – they're making choices based on that belief," Reczek said.
It was the results of the next study that most intrigued Reczek.
In this experiment, participants were told to imagine they were at a grocery store to buy trail mix and they were presented with four options, all at different price points. The option that the researchers were interested in was called the "Perfect Vision Mix." Some participants saw the mix touted as "Rich in Vitamin A for eye health." Others saw the line "Rich in DHA for eye health."
While both Vitamin A and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are indeed good for eye health, the researchers had previously determined that few people are familiar with DHA.
Some participants saw the trail mix listed at an average price, while others saw it listed at a premium price above the other three trail mixes.
Participants were then asked about their perceptions of the key ingredient in the trail mix, either Vitamin A or DHA.
When the ingredient was Vitamin A, people thought it was equally important in a healthy diet, regardless of the price. But if the ingredient was DHA, participants thought it was a more important part of a healthy diet if it was in the expensive trail mix than when it was in the average-priced mix.
"People are familiar with Vitamin A, so they feel they can judge its value without any price cues," Reczek said.
"But people don't know much about DHA, so they go back to the lay theory that expensive must be healthier."
But the healthy = expensive theory had an even more surprising effect. When participants were told DHA helped prevent macular degeneration, people thought this was a more important health issue when the trail mix with DHA was more expensive. When the DHA product was an average price, they were less concerned about macular degeneration.
This effect was not seen with people who were told the trail mix had Vitamin A – again, probably because it was more familiar to the participants, Reczek said.
In the final study, participants were asked to evaluate a new product that would have the brand slogan "Healthiest Protein Bar on the Planet." They were told this bar would compete against other products that averaged $2 per bar.
Some participants were told this new bar would be $0.99, while others were told it would be $4.
They were then given the opportunity to read reviews of the bar before they offered their own evaluation.
Findings showed the participants read significantly more reviews when they were told the bar would cost only $0.99 than when it cost $4.
"People just couldn't believe that the 'healthiest protein bar on the planet' would cost less than the average bar," Reczek said. "They had to read more to convince themselves this was true. They were much more willing to accept that the healthy bar would cost twice as much as average."
While these results may be concerning for consumers, Reczek said there is a remedy.
"We need to be aware of our expensive-equals-healthy bias and look to overcome it by searching out objective evidence," Reczek said.
"It makes it easier for us when we're shopping to use this lay theory, and just assume we're getting something healthier when we pay more. But we don't have to be led astray. We can compare nutrition labels and we can do research before we go to the grocery store. We can use facts rather than our intuition."

His Kids United, Volume 1, has been nominated for a Dove Award in the category of Children's Music Album of the Year. Producers Jimmy Swan, Levi Bradford, David Castell, Brad Nyght, Jordan Bledsoe, Zachary Kuykendall and Mai Swan were included in the nomination. The 18-song project, the first in the His Kids United CD series, is for kids ages 5-14 and featuring kid-sung versions of today's top Christian hits, including "Overcomer" by Mandisa, "Shake" by MercyMe, and "Speak Life" by TobyMac, was released April 29 through INgrooves/Capitol Christian Distribution.
"Everyone I have played this music for has absolutely loved it! I'm so proud to be working with His Kids United series," says Jay Schield, owner/president of Over The Line, which handles marketing for the CD series.
"For the very first CD in the His Kids United series to be nominated for a Dove Award among the best of the best in the Christian music business is truly amazing!" says His Kids United creator Jimmy Swan. "We are excited to see so many people catching the vision for His Kids United! Our prayer is that this nomination will lead to more people finding our album so that their kids can be engaged and encouraged by the message."
His Kids United, Volume 1, was nominated alongside 25 Favorite Bible Songs (Veggie Tales), Grow Serve Proclaim (Cokesbury Kids), Nothing Is Impossible (Planetshakers Kids), and We Belong To Jesus (New Life Worship Kids With Jared Anderson).
The Dove Awards will be held October 7 at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena in Nashville.
Parents of four themselves, His Kids United founders Jimmy and Mai Swan recognized a gap in the supply of uplifting Christian music kids can truly appreciate. A labor of love transformed the best of CCM into an album with which their own children would quickly fall in love.
"Up until now, there have been no other products like His Kids United CDs," says Jimmy Swan, executive producer of the project. "Why wouldn't parents want to invest in positive Christian music for their children? And while the music is focusing on kids ages 5 to 14, we're finding that young adults and even parents enjoy listening to the music, too!"
A Christmas version of the CD series, His Kids United Christmas, will be released this Fall.
