O estado e políticos não são seus aliados, são inimigos da população. O estado só existe para roubar a população e ajudar os seus membros. Não caiam na propaganda estatal de que o estado é bom e necessário, pois não é.
Se você quer combater o estado é preciso estudar e colocar em prática o que aprendeu.

2023.06.09 15:33 a-h-m-e-d-k The 5 pillars of good revision

The 5 pillars of good revision
Intro
After years of revising for pointless tests and exams. I have painstakingly derived the 5 pillars which decide how well you perform on exams. Do exams hold meaning anyway? This is a no bs guide to getting A*'s in your exams, or at the very least improving your grades guaranteed... probably. The post is a bit long but it will be time well spent I promise. In each pillar, there are three levels, to get to the next level you need to fulfil all the requirements of the level below it.
5 pillars
  1. Mental and Physical Health
  2. Structure
  3. Focus
  4. Revision Techniques
  5. Consistency
Mental and Physical Health
Without this, everything falls apart. Feeling burnt out, depressed and struggling to focus is the most detrimental thing to performing well on exams. You might be thinking - 'I do none of this stuff but still perform decently' but performing well on your exams is not more important than taking of yourself.
Level 1:
  • You move around the house
Level 2:
  • You get 7-8 hours of sleep
  • You at least 2 nutritional meals a day
  • You go outside daily
  • You keep in touch with friends
Level 3:
  • You do intense exercise at least once a week
  • You stretch daily to take care of your posture
  • You still spend time doing hobbies and extracurricular activities
Structure
Structuring your revision is key to making sure that you don't feel overwhelmed. Ever gotten round to revising and finding out you have no idea what to revise? Or you know what you have to revise but you don't know what to start with? Then you open YouTube and watch a video on how to study so you feel like you're being productive.
Level 1:
  • You have a checklist of what you will get done in your revision session
  • You have made a note of what topics will be on the test
Level 2:
  • You have gone over your specification, old tests and homeworks and find out the topics you really struggle with. You make an action plan to either get help from your teacher, or your peers, or watch helpful YouTube videos
Level 3:
  • Retrospective Revision Timetable. You might already know what retrospective revision timetable means but if you don't, it means looking back on past events. Your average revision timetable (the one you are probably thinking of write now) is absolutely useless. You predict weeks or days into the future what topics you will cover at specifically the time you choose. If you've ever made one, you would have realised it's impossible to follow for more than 3 days. That is because it is impossible to predict what you should revise a few days or weeks into the future. This where the retrospective revision timetable comes in. You write down the topics down the side of a piece of paper or word document and across the top you write the number 1 to 5. Then, every time you spend maybe a 45 minutes or an hour revising a topic you put it into the timetable with the date - first time revising the topic you put it in column 1 etc. This allows you to create a snapshot of what you have and have not covered. That means next time you come to revise you know clearly what you still need to cover. You can also highlight the different boxes in red green or orange to signify how well the session went. Now this technique isn't for all tests and is only for the really large mocks or end of year exams
https://preview.redd.it/a3yuct7yvz4b1.png?width=886&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e26bf207830e22892642bc642d9cd090fde5bb9
Focus
Being able to focus is key. Doing work for long periods of time is an important skill to learn. You've probably already got distracted reading this - haven't you? Focus. Take 5 deep breaths and take stock of your surroundings. Being able to focus will help improve all aspects of your life.
Level 1:
  • You keep your phone out of sight
  • Caffeine - eh its good but don't overuse it
  • You don't have a movie / TV show on in the background while revising
Level 2:
  • Cold showers - the feeling of awakeness you get from doing this is crazy. You really feel like you about to start levitating or something. If you ever wake up and feel like death this will literally slap the life back into you. Honestly, 100% worth the effort.
  • Tidy Work environment - prevents your mind from feeling cluttered or something like that. Sometimes best to go to the library cos a change in environment can help sometimes
  • You keep your phone and all distractions away from your study environment
Level 3:
  • You practise mindfulness and meditate regularly
  • You listen to either binaural beats, white noise, or relaxing music of your choice
  • You take a cocktail of study drugs and ascend from the mortal realm - I'm kidding, don't do this
Revision Techniques
Contrary to popular belief (I think) it does matter how you revise. Saying you revised for 4 hours by writing out the entire spec doesn't count. What's important is making sure the revision that you do is useful to you.
Level 1:
  • You watch videos for understanding - this isn't actually revision but you if you never understood the topic this is a good idea
  • You reread your notes - almost always a waste of time when it comes to revision unless there aren't more comprehensive online sources you can learn from You sleep on your textbooks to allow the information to move in via osmosis - a rookie mistake a lot of people make is still leaving the covers on the textbook which is actually quite impermeable
Level 2:
  • Exam questions - the holy grail of revising. I highly recommend doing this and writing all the questions you get wrong with their answers into a word document or onto a sheet of paper. Exam technique heavy A-levels e.g. Biology are often looking for specific phrases and specific ways of saying things that you can only learn from doing exam questions
  • BLURT - this is where you write down everything you know about a topic then correct it using a textbook or something like that. Quick way to find your misconceptions. You could probably do this as a mind map but the key thing is without notes. This is because it involves 'active recall'. Basically, brain fetch knowledge from memory memory become stronger easy to recall in a test.
Level 3:
  • You employ the Feynman technique and try to explain topics to your peers or people who know less about it then you. This allows you to gain a deep understanding of a topic. It's like opening a third eye or something. Feynman is where you write down a concept you are trying to learn. You then write about it in plain English so that anyone can understand. You then write about the concept so that a 10 year old can understand the topic. Use a variety of resources to improve your explanation. Then, use diagrams and analogies to make the topic easier to remember.
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough” - some guy
Consistency
Cramming the night before a test, if you don't know, is not good for your health. It's not good for you grades either. Staying up till 4am to revise Biology is rarely justified. Remember, 30 minutes a day for a week is better than a 6 hour study session at night where the only thing keeping you awake is caffeine and stress. For larger mocks a couple of days of solid revision is good enough for me but everyone works differently. Find the period of time where you have the time to revise effectively for your exams but it doesn't start to affect other areas of your life badly.
Level 1
  • You start your revision the night before the exam or, even worse, the morning of your exam.
Level 2
  • You do a few cram sessions the days prior
Level 3
  • You start revising a good couple weeks before important mocks and you slowly ramp up the revision intensity and duration. This only matters for bigger tests - I am still on Level 2 :(
Deciding your level
For each pillar decide your level
Level 1: 1 point
Level 2: 2 points
Level 3: 3 points
Add them all up and decide which level you are
0 - 4: 'Academic comeback is real' guy. You believe that one night is all you need. It's alright, we've all been there. The difficulty was in knowing how to get better. But now you know.
5 - 8: Revision Fan. You dabble here and there in productivity. You are improving, but you aren't quite there yet.
9 - 12: Average revision enjoyer. You perform pretty well on tests. You know how to remain healthy while revising.
12 - 15: Revision gigachad. Reality can be whatever you want. You are the one who knocks. Well done, and good luck.

If you are a low level it's alright. I made this post for fun anyways. Just make sure to get all pillars to the same level e.g. get to level 1 on everything before moving to the next level.
FAQ
My friend does none of this and still gets the highest grade. The games the game. Genetic advantage is real but it doesn't mean you can't perform as well as them if you put effort in and use the techniques above.

Huggies Natural Care Sensitive Baby Wipes
​

Caution: It's important to remember that these evaluations are guides to potential health concerns and not definitive measures of a product's safety or efficacy. They are based on individual ingredients rather than any negative effects the final product may have. The way ingredients interact in a formulation can influence their potential impact, and the presence of a specific ingredient does not automatically equate to harm when used in a product. It's always crucial to do your own research, consider the product as a whole, and keep in mind that personal reactions can vary greatly. When making decisions about personal care products, it is recommended to consult with healthcare professionals.
​
Brief: These baby wipes consist primarily of water for gentle cleaning. Butoxy PEG-4 PG-Amodimethicone, a silicon-based polymer, gives a smooth feel but can cause skin irritation in some individuals. Caprylyl Glycol acts as a skin conditioner and preservative enhancer, while Sodium Benzoate is a common preservative. Coco-Betaine is a gentle cleansing agent. Malic Acid maintains pH balance but can be sensitizing if overused. Polysorbate 20 and Sodium Citrate aid in solubilization and pH balance respectively. The presence of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) adds soothing and antioxidant properties. Nevertheless, observe your baby for any adverse reactions and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
​
Ingredients: Water, Butoxy PEG-4 PG-Amodimethicone, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Benzoate, Coco-Betaine, Malic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Citrate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate.
​

Typical ingredients description and side effects

​
  • Tocopheryl Acetate
    • Tocopheryl Acetate, also known as Vitamin E Acetate, is a form of Vitamin E that is often used in skincare products and cosmetics, including baby wipes. It acts as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent. While Tocopheryl Acetate is generally considered safe for use in skincare products, some people may experience side effects, particularly if they have sensitive skin or a specific allergy to the ingredient.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Skin Irritation: Some people may experience minor skin irritation when using products containing Tocopheryl Acetate. This can manifest as redness, itching, or dryness.
      • Allergic Reaction: Though it's rare, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to Tocopheryl Acetate. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include severe skin redness, swelling, hives, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing.
      • Eye Irritation: If a product containing Tocopheryl Acetate comes into direct contact with the eyes, it may cause eye irritation.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 3
​
  • Sodium Benzoate
    • Sodium benzoate is a type of salt of benzoic acid and is commonly used as a preservative in many types of products, including food, medicines, and personal care products like baby wipes. It's used to prevent the growth of microbes, thereby prolonging the shelf life of products.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Skin Irritation: Some people might experience skin irritation from products containing sodium benzoate. This could present as redness, itching, or a rash. Babies have sensitive skin, so they may be more susceptible to irritation.
      • Allergic Reactions: Though rare, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to sodium benzoate, which could result in symptoms such as redness, swelling, or hives.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 3
​
  • Malic acid
    • Malic acid is an organic compound that is found in many fruits, notably apples. It is often used in cosmetics and personal care products, including baby wipes, for its role as a pH adjuster, humectant, and skin-conditioning agent. While malic acid is generally safe for use in these products, like any substance, it can potentially cause side effects in some people.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Skin Irritation: Malic acid can cause skin irritation, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin or allergies. Symptoms can include redness, itching, or discomfort at the site of application.
      • Allergic Reactions: Though rare, some individuals may have an allergic reaction to malic acid. Signs of an allergic reaction can include severe skin redness, hives, swelling, and, in severe cases, difficulty breathing.
      • Eye Irritation: If a baby wipe containing malic acid comes into contact with the eyes, it could potentially cause irritation.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 4
​
  • Butoxy PEG-4 PG-Amodimethicone
    • Butoxy PEG-4 PG-Amodimethicone is a type of silicone that is water-soluble and often used in personal care products such as baby wipes. It's primarily used as a conditioning agent, providing a soft, smooth feel to the skin. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there's limited specific research available on the side effects of Butoxy PEG-4 PG-Amodimethicone. However, considering its chemical structure and similarities with other types of silicones, potential side effects may include.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Skin Irritation: Although rare, this ingredient could potentially cause skin irritation in some individuals, particularly those with sensitive skin. This might manifest as redness, itching, or a rash.
      • Allergic Reactions: Although very rare, there could be a risk of an allergic reaction. Symptoms might include severe redness, itching, hives, or swelling.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 3
​
  • Polysorbate 20
    • Polysorbate 20 is a common ingredient in many personal care products, including baby wipes. It acts as a surfactant and emulsifier, helping to mix oil and water components, and it's generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Skin Irritation: Some people may experience skin irritation when using products with Polysorbate 20. This could result in redness, itchiness, or a rash. This is more common in people with sensitive skin or those who are allergic to the ingredient.
      • Allergic Reaction: In rare instances, some people might have an allergic reaction to Polysorbate 20. Symptoms could include severe skin redness, swelling, hives, or, in the most serious cases, difficulty breathing.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 3
​
​
The grading system used by EWG in the Skin Deep database is as follows:
1 to 2: Low hazard
3 to 6: Moderate hazard
7 to 10: High hazard

Find the period of time where you have the time to revise effectively for your exams but it doesn't start to affect other areas of your life badly.
Level 1
  • You start your revision the night before the exam or, even worse, the morning of your exam.
Level 2
  • You do a few cram sessions the days prior
Level 3
  • You start revising a good couple weeks before important mocks and you slowly ramp up the revision intensity and duration. This only matters for bigger tests - I am still on Level 2 :(
Deciding your level
For each pillar decide your level
Level 1: 1 point
Level 2: 2 points
Level 3: 3 points
Add them all up and decide which level you are
0 - 4: 'Academic comeback is real' guy. You believe that one night is all you need. It's alright, we've all been there. The difficulty was in knowing how to get better. But now you know.
5 - 8: Revision Fan. You dabble here and there in productivity. You are improving, but you aren't quite there yet.
9 - 12: Average revision enjoyer. You perform pretty well on tests. You know how to remain healthy while revising.
12 - 15: Revision gigachad. Reality can be whatever you want. You are the one who knocks. Well done, and good luck.

If you are a low level it's alright. I made this post for fun anyways. Just make sure to get all pillars to the same level e.g. get to level 1 on everything before moving to the next level.
FAQ
My friend does none of this and still gets the highest grade. The games the game. Genetic advantage is real but it doesn't mean you can't perform as well as them if you put effort in and use the techniques above.

Prompt Engineering to map the sources retrieved from the vectorDB
I am trying to do something similar where users can ask questions from news articles or any custom documents they upload. I want to tag and provide sources along with the answer as shown here. I tried writing prompts but could get it working 100%. I know this problem is already solved and am looking for help in figuring out a robust prompt for this. The main reason to do this is to show which sources are actually useful in answering the question; Querying vectorDB I retrieve top 7-10 sources but not all sources are used to answer the question. I want users to see from which source a line in the answer is generated and also keep only the useful sources and discard the rest. Would really appreciate a helping hand here 🙏
Thanks in Advance !!!

2023.06.09 15:27 ogwilson02 TIFU by not paying attention at all

This was about 6 months ago and I still think about it when I sleep at night. One of those embarrassing memories that are not only a beneficiary to insomnia but might as well be insomnia’s right hand man.
7 months ago I shipped out to Army Basic Training at Fort Sill, OK. Upon arrival you stay in a reception battalion until you get your medical shit cleared alongside a metric asston of paperwork. The reception battalion was also home to people who had gotten injured during actual basic, and were waiting to be medically discharged from the Army or wait to heal and restart basic at a later date. There was this one PFC there with a broken leg or something who would always give us advice, and since my group I shipped with and I were 1-2 days from shipping out, we had nothing to do and were talking to him about the experience, things to look out for and all that. He gave some decent advice, one that stuck out to me was “During Red Phase, they’ll have you do a bunch of pointless BS, mix and matching your clothes, yadda yadda.” This comes into play later.
Fast forward to Basic - it’s like day 3 of Red Phase (the initiation process where you do nothing but get fucked up for a few weeks along with learning the basics.) I’m in 4th Platoon - we’re on the drill pad around 1900/2000 after dinner getting smoked (push ups, air squats). Each platoon is getting smoked in their own different way. We had finished doing I don’t even remember how many burpees when our Drill Sergeant says “you have two minutes to run upstairs, grab a left PT shoe and a right boot, and get back down!”
I’m the furthest back left person in the formation and have the furthest bed from the door in the bay as well. As such, I was the last one upstairs, and by the time I’d made it to my locker everyone else was running downstairs. As I’m rummaging to grab my shoes.. that fuckin’ PFC from reception pops up in my head. A lightbulb popped on in my head bright enough to illuminate the ocean floor. “This must be what he meant by mismatching clothes!” (I should also add I wasn’t really paying attention when my DS gave that order. I was completely spaced out.
So, in what I thought was a moment of impeccable wisdom at the time, I secured my left PT shoe on my left foot and my right boot on my right foot. I run downstairs, turn the corner, and my heart immediately fills with enough adrenaline to kill an adult horse. I see the rest of my platoon in a squatting position, holding the shoes in front of them. I then look slightly to the right and could actually feel my bowels contracting and expanding, ready for excretion. All three of my platoons drill sergeants are staring at me with their mouths agape. At this point, I think ‘fuck it man, they already saw me, I gotta fall in’ and did the awkward lop-sided hop to the formation you would expect from someone wearing two completely different shaped and weighted shoes. After falling in my DS goes “ogwilson02 Get your ass up here!”
I stand in front of the formation as he proceeds to roast the absolute piss out of me lmao, “This is the motherfucker that will get you killed downrange! Look at your fucking battle buddy!” , then I proceeded to do flutter kicks for about 45 mins until it was time for bed. My platoon hated me for the next couple days but quickly changed as that was actually a minor fuckup compared to some of the shit those guys did. We never even ended up mismatching clothes, that fucker from reception knew exactly what he was doing. Damn you PFC Davis.
TL:DR; Didn’t pay attention to instructions in Basic. Wore mismatched shoes. Did lots of exercise to muscle failure.
EDIT: It actually didn’t end up so bad though, I remember when we were about a week from graduating our Drill Sergeants were shooting the shit with us in the bay, when they ask “Who was that fucking retard who came downstairs in a PT shoe and a boot in red phase?” Slowly raised my hand. They laughed for about 2 minutes and made me recreate it. Good times

2023.06.09 15:27 a-h-m-e-d-k The 5 pillars of good revision

The 5 pillars of good revision
This is aimed at people in school studying for tests but may be useful for other things :)
Intro
After years of revising for pointless tests and exams. I have painstakingly derived the 5 pillars which decide how well you perform on exams. Do exams hold meaning anyway? This is a no bs guide to getting A*'s in your exams, or at the very least improving your grades guaranteed... probably. The post is a bit long but it will be time well spent I promise. In each pillar, there are three levels, to get to the next level you need to fulfil all the requirements of the level below it.
5 pillars
  1. Mental and Physical Health
  2. Structure
  3. Focus
  4. Revision Techniques
  5. Consistency
Mental and Physical Health
Without this, everything falls apart. Feeling burnt out, depressed and struggling to focus is the most detrimental thing to performing well on exams. You might be thinking - 'I do none of this stuff but still perform decently' but performing well on your exams is not more important than taking of yourself.
Level 1:
  • You move around the house
Level 2:
  • You get 7-8 hours of sleep
  • You at least 2 nutritional meals a day
  • You go outside daily
  • You keep in touch with friends
Level 3:
  • You do intense exercise at least once a week
  • You stretch daily to take care of your posture
  • You still spend time doing hobbies and extracurricular activities
Structure
Structuring your revision is key to making sure that you don't feel overwhelmed. Ever gotten round to revising and finding out you have no idea what to revise? Or you know what you have to revise but you don't know what to start with? Then you open YouTube and watch a video on how to study so you feel like you're being productive.
Level 1:
  • You have a checklist of what you will get done in your revision session
  • You have made a note of what topics will be on the test
Level 2:
  • You have gone over your specification, old tests and homeworks and find out the topics you really struggle with. You make an action plan to either get help from your teacher, or your peers, or watch helpful YouTube videos
Level 3:
  • Retrospective Revision Timetable. You might already know what retrospective revision timetable means but if you don't, it means looking back on past events. Your average revision timetable (the one you are probably thinking of write now) is absolutely useless. You predict weeks or days into the future what topics you will cover at specifically the time you choose. If you've ever made one, you would have realised it's impossible to follow for more than 3 days. That is because it is impossible to predict what you should revise a few days or weeks into the future. This where the retrospective revision timetable comes in. You write down the topics down the side of a piece of paper or word document and across the top you write the number 1 to 5. Then, every time you spend maybe a 45 minutes or an hour revising a topic you put it into the timetable with the date - first time revising the topic you put it in column 1 etc. This allows you to create a snapshot of what you have and have not covered. That means next time you come to revise you know clearly what you still need to cover. You can also highlight the different boxes in red green or orange to signify how well the session went. Now this technique isn't for all tests and is only for the really large mocks or end of year exams
​

​
Focus
Being able to focus is key. Doing work for long periods of time is an important skill to learn. You've probably already got distracted reading this - haven't you? Focus. Take 5 deep breaths and take stock of your surroundings. Being able to focus will help improve all aspects of your life.
Level 1:
  • You keep your phone out of sight
  • Caffeine - eh its good but don't overuse it
  • You don't have a movie / TV show on in the background while revising
Level 2:
  • Cold showers - the feeling of awakeness you get from doing this is crazy. You really feel like you about to start levitating or something. If you ever wake up and feel like death this will literally slap the life back into you. Honestly, 100% worth the effort.
  • Tidy Work environment - prevents your mind from feeling cluttered or something like that. Sometimes best to go to the library cos a change in environment can help sometimes
  • You keep your phone and all distractions away from your study environment
Level 3:
  • You practise mindfulness and meditate regularly
  • You listen to either binaural beats, white noise, or relaxing music of your choice
  • You take a cocktail of study drugs and ascend from the mortal realm - I'm kidding, don't do this
Revision Techniques
Contrary to popular belief (I think) it does matter how you revise. Saying you revised for 4 hours by writing out the entire spec doesn't count. What's important is making sure the revision that you do is useful to you.
Level 1:
  • You watch videos for understanding - this isn't actually revision but you if you never understood the topic this is a good idea
  • You reread your notes - almost always a waste of time when it comes to revision unless there aren't more comprehensive online sources you can learn from You sleep on your textbooks to allow the information to move in via osmosis - a rookie mistake a lot of people make is still leaving the covers on the textbook which is actually quite impermeable
Level 2:
  • Exam questions - the holy grail of revising. I highly recommend doing this and writing all the questions you get wrong with their answers into a word document or onto a sheet of paper. Exam technique heavy A-levels e.g. Biology are often looking for specific phrases and specific ways of saying things that you can only learn from doing exam questions
  • BLURT - this is where you write down everything you know about a topic then correct it using a textbook or something like that. Quick way to find your misconceptions. You could probably do this as a mind map but the key thing is without notes. This is because it involves 'active recall'. Basically, brain fetch knowledge from memory memory become stronger easy to recall in a test.
Level 3:
  • You employ the Feynman technique and try to explain topics to your peers or people who know less about it then you. This allows you to gain a deep understanding of a topic. It's like opening a third eye or something. Feynman is where you write down a concept you are trying to learn. You then write about it in plain English so that anyone can understand. You then write about the concept so that a 10 year old can understand the topic. Use a variety of resources to improve your explanation. Then, use diagrams and analogies to make the topic easier to remember.
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough” - some guy
Consistency
Cramming the night before a test, if you don't know, is not good for your health. It's not good for you grades either. Staying up till 4am to revise Biology is rarely justified. Remember, 30 minutes a day for a week is better than a 6 hour study session at night where the only thing keeping you awake is caffeine and stress. For larger mocks a couple of days of solid revision is good enough for me but everyone works differently. Find the period of time where you have the time to revise effectively for your exams but it doesn't start to affect other areas of your life badly.
Level 1
  • You start your revision the night before the exam or, even worse, the morning of your exam.
Level 2
  • You do a few cram sessions the days prior
Level 3
  • You start revising a good couple weeks before important mocks and you slowly ramp up the revision intensity and duration. This only matters for bigger tests - I am still on Level 2 :(

2023.06.09 15:26 Corkyebeaumont_jr What am I supposed to do? (Venting)

I have received what I believed to be salvation 3 years ago, after my dear father who was a believer underwent a risky surgery due to illness. I couldn't fathom my Dad passing. I didn't know if I would even want to live if he did. I remember breaking down crying, telling the Lord that if he preserved my father, I would give up my own way of life and serve Him. But I doubled back, and told the Lord that even if my father dies in that surgery, I still want to serve Him regardless. I was tired of playing with my life.
I woke up the next day to news that my Dad survived the surgery. But my jubilation was cut short when they had to take him back into surgery due to a blood clot. I got on my knees and prayed even harder than before.
My Dad survived, and I will never forget how exuberant and refreshed I felt. Not only did I have this new identity and journey to embark on with Christ, but He preserved my father, even though I didn't hold my servitude behind a good outcome. I wanted the Lord regardless.
Everything changed. I grew gentler. I prayed for resolutions to my anxieties. I prayed AS a resolution to my anxieties.I started watching Christian YouTube channels such as "The Beat" by Allen Parr. I discovered beautiful worship music that I could relate to. I read my Bible from time to time, in spite of the extreme difficulty I have focusing and retaining focus when I'm in the Word.
One of the biggest revelations I experienced in this beautiful time period was months later, when my father eventually died. He was sick with diabetes and had battled it for ~20 years. I sat at his bed side and held his hand as he passed.
What was significant about the day my Dad passed is that, in spite of the sadness of losing my hero, I was so thankful to God for blessing me with him. That night, before I went to bed, I broke down crying, thanking God. My Dad was awesome and I miss him dearly. The difference between my joyful praise after losing my Dad, and the sheer panic I had months before, just at the possibility of that surgery taking him, was that in one case, I had faith. In the other, I hadn't yet believed.
Fast forward a few years to now. Boy, have I experienced my ups and downs. But through it all, I still maintained my central proclamation and conviction of my faith. I have triumphed immensely from a worldly perspective. I have a job, have saved a lot of money, and I have gotten in great physical shape. But I just don't see any spiritual growth. I'm still struggling with the same sin as before, and more.
I still struggle with looking at women with lust. The temptation feels so difficult to defy. It almost grabs me and pulls me in, even after I pray.
I can barely read my Bible for 5 minutes without tuning out. Yet I can read any other book swiftly within a week. I try to discipline myself and become a disciple, but I get this immense anxiety before I open my Bible, or before I pray. It's like everything inside me despises these spiritual disciplines. I know doctrine, but not that from which it was derived. My lack of growth even leads to me questioning God's existence, though usually subconsciously.
I've been asking, begging the Lord for years to deliver me from this. Maybe it is that I was never in the faith. Maybe it is that everything I thought was God speaking to me was a mere emotional experience. Why am I not like other believers, who faithfully serve? Who have the concentration to read through their word and be delivered through it? Who aren't in this "sin-repent-repeat" cycle?
It doesn't help that I live in a household in which I'm the only believer. They love throwing parties and having drinks. Gossip and loud music. Sometimes I can't even get rest due to the cacophony of chit-chat and bass. My deep yearning for solitude, and a spiritual environment leads to resentment. The only other believer around me is my best friend, who looks to me for guidance and leadership in his faith, which makes my struggle that much more hurtful.
I am blessed to be able to attend church after negotiating with my job, which is great. I just hope that this will be what finally pushes me to grow, because I need help.
I am so unreliable and lack to do even the simplest works of my proclaimed faith. Am I just not cut out for this? Many people praise me for my faith, and the generosity and gentle heart that comes with it. But they just do not know how deep the struggle goes. I don't want to be a fake Christian.
I just want to serve God.

2023.06.09 15:24 tgellis_ealisia In the haunted town of Ravensilver, a curse looms...

... over the wealthy gnome family led by the Lady Isabella Silveria.
When her firstborn daughter, Sarena, goes missing, rumors of the curse spread. The players are hired to investigate the Whispering Grove, where they uncover the secrets of the abandoned Ravenwood Manor, once the home of the Silveria family.
As they delve into the family's dark history, they discover a generations-old pact with a vile hag that drives Silveria’s economy.
Clues and red herrings guide the players through diary entries, faded paintings, and hidden chambers.
Everybody is suspect. Broke Bertrand,Miss Margaret, Grey Gregor and even Butler Roderick.
Will the heroes side with Lady Isabella and condemn Sarena to a life of servitude, or assist Sarena in breaking the curse that rests upon Ravensilver, risking the loss of not only the family's wealth, but the driving engine of Ravensilver’s thriving economy.
Okay, that's the pitch. If you're interested in running a mystery adventure in one of your upcoming games, maybe the points below will inspire you!
Enjoy and let me know how you expand or enrich the premise to have fun with your table!
The Curse of Ravensilver Manor
The Premise Sarena Silveria, the firstborn daughter and heir of Ravenwood Enterprisesf has gone missing in the Whispering Grove. She is the daughter of Lady Isabella Silveria, the wealthiest gnomish businesswoman in town and the locals have searched but dare not go near the corrupted wood. Sarena is eleven years old. The townsfolk quickly whisper of the curse that haunts Lady Isabella’s family.
Your players are retained to investigate the Whispering Grove and will discover the haunted Ravensilver Manor. They will learn that this curse is tied to a generations-old pact with a vile hag, upon which the gnome’s wealth is based; as long as the family wishes to remain wealthy, they must send their first-born into a lifetime of decrepit servitude before they reach the age of twelve.
Clues and Red Herrings 1. Sarena’s diary. A cryptic snippet describes this detail of the pact: “...every firstborn shall be given over to serve…” and "...the tears of elves can break the spell." It alludes to a hidden room.
  1. The family portrait. A faded paining shows a rough looking gnomish family in fine clothes, standing infront Ravensilver Manor under construction. It has a father, a mother, and four children, one of which turns out to be Grey Gregor.
  2. An old letter from Grey Gregor to Isabella reveals a family feud about money that arose from the pact, leading to conflicting motivations among family members.
  3. Isabella hides a torn page from a spellbook, which holds an incantation that could potentially break the curse.
  4. A secret passage reveals a hidden room containing a cauldron connected to the entity, providing a clue to the entity's true nature.
Red Herring 1: A ghostly apparition frequently seen in the manor's corridors, creating the impression of a vengeful spirit, turns out to be a bored fey creature that delights in sacring the local children.
Red Herring 2: A suspicious forest hermit called Qualem with a shady past - he deals in shoric (drug) - who may appear guilty but is ultimately unrelated to the curse, but uses the Ravenwood Manor as a place to stash his wares.
Suspects or People of Interest 1. Lady Isabella, the matriarch of the family, who holds valuable information about the pact but hides a dark secret. 2. Broke Bertrand, Lady Isabella's estranged brother, who seeks to break the curse for personal redemption. 3. Miss Margaret, a distant relative with a deep interest in the family's secrets, who wishes to take over the family business from Isabella. 4. Grey Gregor, the outcast uncle of this wealthy family who lives a normal life, not benefitting from the family’s wealth, and has researched ways to break the curse. He dotes on Sarena, and is distraught she is missing. 5. Roderick, the enigmatic family butler with a connection to the original pact, who guards his loyalty and motivations closely. 6. Qualem the forest hermit and shoric dealer. (Red Herring) 7. Awz, the cheeky fairy who delights in pretending to be a ghost to frighten people who explore the Ravenwood.
Description of Ravensilver Manor (Primary Location)
Ravenwood Manor stands as an imposing structure, its once-grand facade now marred by time and neglect. The tall, arched windows reflect the moonlight, casting eerie shadows on the overgrown gardens. The interior holds darkened corridors, creaking floorboards, and faded tapestries depicting the family's storied past. The air is heavy with a sense of melancholy, and ghostly whispers seem to echo through the hallways.
Description of a Secondary Location Nearby Ravensilver
The Whispering Grove, a dense forest surrounding Ravensilver Manor, is a place of ethereal beauty. Ancient trees with gnarled branches intertwine, creating a canopy that filters the sunlight. Soft whispers seem to ride on the wind, carrying the secrets of the manor. Moss-covered stones, hidden clearings, and babbling brooks add to the mystique of the grove. It is rumored that the grove holds ancient artifacts and hidden rituals that might aid in breaking the curse.
The resolution of this mystery The party will discover clues and realise that Isabella’s wealth is tied to the curse. They will also learn that the reason Isabella want Sarena back, is because she is poised to be sent to the hag for service, or else the hag will punish the family and they will lose everything. They will find that Sarena in the Whispering Grove in search of an ancient elven artefact, that she believes could break the curse. There are several potential endings for you to consider once the party has all the clues and has found Sarena, which can be summarized as: they either side with Isabella and condemn Sarena to a life fo service to the hag, or they side with Sarena and help her break the curse, destroying the source of the family’s wealth.

If your agency is making between $10-30k per month, you’re sitting on an absolute goldmine and you have no idea.
After running my agency for 4 years, delivering over $100M worth of value to my clients, and generating 8 figures in total revenue, I’ve realized that any agency can be a massive business with the right mechanisms in place.
When I began building my agency in 2018, it was a good business for me and my partner.
It put food on the table, and we were able to help to grow other businesses that we were passionate about.
We didn’t realize at the time that the only thing keeping us at the mid-6-figure per year mark was our own mental blockages.
Just about any agency can be an 8-figure a year endeavor, especially if you do it the way that we’ve done it.
Most agency owners in the $10-30k per month range operate within a freelancer mindset.
You struggle with hiring, you struggle with building processes, and you struggle with scaling.
You do not have a demand problem.
For every agency, there are at least 500 potential clients with a problem that your agency can solve, and they’re willing to pay good money for you to do so.
With the right offer, 100-200 clients will be enough for you to have an 8-figure a year company that will sell for a multiple that could be in the range of 6-12X.
This course consists of 10 modules with text and video, plus 3 bonus modules that outline everything you need to know about:
  • Building systems for scaling fast
  • How to diversify your lead generation to never have an empty pipeline again
  • Assembling a team of people who care about your company’s vision as much as you
  • Remaining profitable as you scale
  • Avoiding mistakes at the intermediate and advanced levels with your business
  • The steps you need to take to sell your agency for 8+ figures
As long as you have an offer that’s proven to work in an industry that’s likely to continue to exist in 10 years, you have a multi-million dollar opportunity at your fingertips.
At the $10-30k a month level with an agency, you’re currently working harder than you will be at $100k a month.
The good news is, you’re only a few months away from hitting that target profitably if you do exactly what I outline in this course.
After thousands of mistakes in the building process, I know exactly what I’d do if I had to start from zero.
If you’re just starting, you have the opportunity to build everything right and avoid 90% of the mistakes that we made in the early days.
Instead of taking 4 years to scale to ~8 figures like my team and I did, you could potentially do it in half the time.
Before you buy, you need to understand this.
This course will work for any agency in the digital space, but it is not for beginners.
This is not to show you how to land your first client and find your niche.
This will only work if you have at least 2-4 clients and you already understand your offer.
My strategies for client acquisition, client retention, offer structure, team building, and systems will only work if you already have the foundations in place.
If you’re above $60k a year but below $1M a year, this will work for you.
Inside, I also share information about my agency that I’ve never shared before.
I do a deep dive into everything that’s allowed us to scale from high-6-figures in 2019 to high-7-figures in 2021.
Everything from the way you need to think about things, to the way you need to execute things.
I leave nothing out of this.
If you’re ready to scale your agency from $10-30k a month up to 6 figures a month, click below to get access to everything you’ll ever need today.

2023.06.09 15:23 a-h-m-e-d-k The 5 pillars of good revision

The 5 pillars of good revision
Intro
After years of revising for pointless tests and exams. I have painstakingly derived the 5 pillars which decide how well you perform on exams. Do exams hold meaning anyway? This is a no bs guide to getting A*'s in your exams, or at the very least improving your grades guaranteed... probably. The post is a bit long but it will be time well spent I promise. In each pillar, there are three levels, to get to the next level you need to fulfil all the requirements of the level below it.
5 pillars
  1. Mental and Physical Health
  2. Structure
  3. Focus
  4. Revision Techniques
  5. Consistency
Mental and Physical Health
Without this, everything falls apart. Feeling burnt out, depressed and struggling to focus is the most detrimental thing to performing well on exams. You might be thinking - 'I do none of this stuff but still perform decently' but performing well on your exams is not more important than taking of yourself.
Level 1:
  • You move around the house
Level 2:
  • You get 7-8 hours of sleep
  • You at least 2 nutritional meals a day
  • You go outside daily
  • You keep in touch with friends
Level 3:
  • You do intense exercise at least once a week
  • You stretch daily to take care of your posture
  • You still spend time doing hobbies and extracurricular activities
Structure
Structuring your revision is key to making sure that you don't feel overwhelmed. Ever gotten round to revising and finding out you have no idea what to revise? Or you know what you have to revise but you don't know what to start with? Then you open YouTube and watch a video on how to study so you feel like you're being productive.
Level 1:
  • You have a checklist of what you will get done in your revision session
  • You have made a note of what topics will be on the test
Level 2:
  • You have gone over your specification, old tests and homeworks and find out the topics you really struggle with. You make an action plan to either get help from your teacher, or your peers, or watch helpful YouTube videos
Level 3:
  • Retrospective Revision Timetable. You might already know what retrospective revision timetable means but if you don't, it means looking back on past events. Your average revision timetable (the one you are probably thinking of write now) is absolutely useless. You predict weeks or days into the future what topics you will cover at specifically the time you choose. If you've ever made one, you would have realised it's impossible to follow for more than 3 days. That is because it is impossible to predict what you should revise a few days or weeks into the future. This where the retrospective revision timetable comes in. You write down the topics down the side of a piece of paper or word document and across the top you write the number 1 to 5. Then, every time you spend maybe a 45 minutes or an hour revising a topic you put it into the timetable with the date - first time revising the topic you put it in column 1 etc. This allows you to create a snapshot of what you have and have not covered. That means next time you come to revise you know clearly what you still need to cover. You can also highlight the different boxes in red green or orange to signify how well the session went. Now this technique isn't for all tests and is only for the really large mocks or end of year exams
​
Focus
Being able to focus is key. Doing work for long periods of time is an important skill to learn. You've probably already got distracted reading this - haven't you? Focus. Take 5 deep breaths and take stock of your surroundings. Being able to focus will help improve all aspects of your life.
Level 1:
  • You keep your phone out of sight
  • Caffeine - eh its good but don't overuse it
  • You don't have a movie / TV show on in the background while revising
Level 2:
  • Cold showers - the feeling of awakeness you get from doing this is crazy. You really feel like you about to start levitating or something. If you ever wake up and feel like death this will literally slap the life back into you. Honestly, 100% worth the effort.
  • Tidy Work environment - prevents your mind from feeling cluttered or something like that. Sometimes best to go to the library cos a change in environment can help sometimes
  • You keep your phone and all distractions away from your study environment
Level 3:
  • You practise mindfulness and meditate regularly
  • You listen to either binaural beats, white noise, or relaxing music of your choice
  • You take a cocktail of study drugs and ascend from the mortal realm - I'm kidding, don't do this
Revision Techniques
Contrary to popular belief (I think) it does matter how you revise. Saying you revised for 4 hours by writing out the entire spec doesn't count. What's important is making sure the revision that you do is useful to you.
Level 1:
  • You watch videos for understanding - this isn't actually revision but you if you never understood the topic this is a good idea
  • You reread your notes - almost always a waste of time when it comes to revision unless there aren't more comprehensive online sources you can learn from You sleep on your textbooks to allow the information to move in via osmosis - a rookie mistake a lot of people make is still leaving the covers on the textbook which is actually quite impermeable
Level 2:
  • Exam questions - the holy grail of revising. I highly recommend doing this and writing all the questions you get wrong with their answers into a word document or onto a sheet of paper. Exam technique heavy A-levels e.g. Biology are often looking for specific phrases and specific ways of saying things that you can only learn from doing exam questions
  • BLURT - this is where you write down everything you know about a topic then correct it using a textbook or something like that. Quick way to find your misconceptions. You could probably do this as a mind map but the key thing is without notes. This is because it involves 'active recall'. Basically, brain fetch knowledge from memory memory become stronger easy to recall in a test.
Level 3:
  • You employ the Feynman technique and try to explain topics to your peers or people who know less about it then you. This allows you to gain a deep understanding of a topic. It's like opening a third eye or something. Feynman is where you write down a concept you are trying to learn. You then write about it in plain English so that anyone can understand. You then write about the concept so that a 10 year old can understand the topic. Use a variety of resources to improve your explanation. Then, use diagrams and analogies to make the topic easier to remember.
“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough” - some guy
Consistency
Cramming the night before a test, if you don't know, is not good for your health. It's not good for you grades either. Staying up till 4am to revise Biology is rarely justified. Remember, 30 minutes a day for a week is better than a 6 hour study session at night where the only thing keeping you awake is caffeine and stress. For larger mocks a couple of days of solid revision is good enough for me but everyone works differently. Find the period of time where you have the time to revise effectively for your exams but it doesn't start to affect other areas of your life badly.
Level 1
  • You start your revision the night before the exam or, even worse, the morning of your exam.
Level 2
  • You do a few cram sessions the days prior
Level 3
  • You start revising a good couple weeks before important mocks and you slowly ramp up the revision intensity and duration. This only matters for bigger tests - I am still on Level 2 :(
​
Deciding your level
For each pillar decide your level
Level 1: 1 point
Level 2: 2 points
Level 3: 3 points
Add them all up and decide which level you are
​
0 - 4: 'Academic comeback is real' guy. You believe that one night is all you need. It's alright, we've all been there. The difficulty was in knowing how to get better. But now you know.
​
5 - 8: Revision Fan. You dabble here and there in productivity. You are improving, but you aren't quite there yet.
​
9 - 12: Average revision enjoyer. You perform pretty well on tests. You know how to remain healthy while revising.
​
12 - 15: Revision gigachad. Reality can be whatever you want. You are the one who knocks. Well done, and good luck.

If you are a low level it's alright. I made this post for fun anyways. Just make sure to get all pillars to the same level e.g. get to level 1 on everything before moving to the next level.
​
FAQ
My friend does none of this and still gets the highest grade. The games the game. Genetic advantage is real but it doesn't mean you can't perform as well as them if you put effort in and use the techniques above.

2023.06.09 15:21 mjShazam98 $DFLI Due Dilligence + TA: Deep Dive into

$DFLI Due Dilligence + TA: Deep Dive into
Back in April, $DFLI hit my radar and presented an excellent trade setup, performing beyond expectations. Now it is currently in a spot where it has the potential to do something similar this month. The first part of this post is the DD of the company, and the second half goes into a TA setup that I have might enact on if volume comes into the stock today or this week. I hope you find it informative! I currently do not own any shares YET. I am waiting for increased volume right now.
  1. Company Overview: Dragonfly Energy is a leading player in the green energy storage sector, specializing in the development of lithium-ion batteries. They have gained recognition for their popular Lithium-ion Battery products in the RV and Marine industries under the Battle Born Batteries brand. The company is dedicated to advancing battery technology through unique patented manufacturing processes and boasts a robust R&D department.
  2. Product Focus: Dragonfly Energy focuses on domestically designing and assembling deep cycle LiFePO4 battery packs. They prioritize effective manufacturing processes through automation and extensive quality control measures. Additionally, they integrate batteries with other innovative ancillary components into full energy storage systems, providing comprehensive solutions to their customers.
  3. Market Presence: The company has successfully penetrated various industries through its sales and marketing efforts. Their diverse market focus includes recreational vehicles, marine vessels, and off-grid installations, allowing them to tap into multiple revenue streams and growth opportunities.
  4. Cell Manufacturing and R&D: Dragonfly Energy is involved in cell manufacturing using patented and efficient processes. Moreover, their extensive research and development efforts are focused on developing nonflammable battery cells. They are set to launch a pilot line for this technology later this year, positioning themselves as pioneers in the energy storage market.
  5. Intellectual Property: Dragonfly Energy has a robust intellectual property portfolio, securing its position in the industry. The company holds patents covering various aspects of their business, including chemical composition systems and production processes. This strengthens their competitive advantage and barriers to entry for potential competitors.
  6. Addressing Grid Storage Challenges: With their non-flammable solid-state battery technology, Dragonfly Energy is addressing the challenges of grid storage. Their innovative approach ensures grid stability and resilience in a renewable energy-dependent world, positioning them as a crucial player in the market.
  7. Market Disruption Potential: Dragonfly Energy's solid-state batteries have the potential to disrupt the energy storage market. Being an early mover in this space, the company is well-positioned to capture a significant market share and capitalize on the growing demand for efficient energy storage solutions.
Trade Plan: This stock is back on my trading radar with the current price action of $DFLI. With the price near the bottom of my buy zone, the risk to reward here is too good to pass up. The price is currently at $2.84 and hasn’t had a lot of movement recently. Getting in before the crowd is always some of my more straightforward trades. Looking for the push above $3 with increased volume.
https://preview.redd.it/0ur7y4yotz4b1.jpg?width=2278&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf9be0c1335997411dde3b8e87682d854b527866
Risk Management: I will implement a stop loss at $2.50, the same stop loss as the last trade setup of $DFLI. If this stop loss were to trigger, this would be a break of solid support, but with the current price, you could move the stop loss lower it is really up to you and your risk preference. My target price for this trade is for the stock to return to $4. I don’t expect this to happen overnight; definitely more of a swing trade. Make sure to take and lock in profits when you see them!
Communicated Disclaimer: Also, remember that swing trading can be risky, and it is essential to conduct your own research and due diligence before investing. Additionally, it is vital to monitor the price action closely and adjust your trade plan accordingly. This is not financial advice, and I urge you to make your own informed decisions.Sources (Stock quote +Info): 1 ,2 ,3 ,4

2023.06.09 15:18 serenity-as-ice LF: Bronzong redeems, events FT: Events, Paradox Shinies, Other Shinies, Apriballs

Expecting a surplus of weird bells? Looking to ditch them for cool stuff? Look no further!

I am looking for redeems for the upcoming WiFi-distributed event: Yasuharu Shimizu's Bronzong. I wish to collect a huge bunch of them so I can make Evthe420 cry when I release them en masse for my collection. 😇
What can I offer in return? Here's a list, with rates included for your convenience:

What's for trade Amount of Bronzong redeems requested Notes
10x SV Apriballs/rare balls 1x redeem(s) Rare balls are defined as Dream/Beast Balls; feel free to ask for any combination possible.
Shiny Pokemon or shiny Paradox 1x redeem(s)
Uncommon-Marked shiny or shiny Roaring Moon 3x redeems
Marked shiny or marked Paradox 4x redeems
Marco Hemantha Kaludura Silva's Dracovish 3x redeems
Wonseok Jung's Grimmsnarl 3x redeems Proof is lost, but all were self-redeemed by me and I can verify their authenticity.
Kohei Fujida's Sableye 3x redeems Proof is lost, but all were self-redeemed by me and I can verify their authenticity.
Jirawiwat Thitasiri's Clefairy 3x redeems
Eric Rios's East Sea Gastrodon 3x redeems
Galar's Shiny Eternatus 3x redeems
Victory Victini 4x redeems
Ash's Pokemon set 6x redeems This consists of Dracovish, Dragonite, Gengar, Sirfetch'd and Lucario. 4 sets are available.
Jiseok Lee's Garganacl 2x redeems
Gavin Michael's Palafin 2x redeems
Other Event Pokemon Depends on event, please ask

For other events, please check my event sheet. I will say in advance that I would probably not be accepting a redeem offer for anything from gen 7 and below, and I'm not looking to trade my Galar birds + HOME Zera (at least) for redeems; anything marked in red and labelled NFT is definitely not for trade.
I also have a shiny sheet you can peruse, and a collection of (primarily Scarlet) Paradox shinies, with each and every Paradox caught only in Apriballs/rareballs.
As usual, redeems will need to be proofed—I would prefer video proofing, but A-button is acceptable (personally, I think video is easier, but whatever works best)! For further information on how I expect redeems to be proofed, please do check out this guide.
Aside from redeems, I am also interested in standard event trades! Feel free to approach me with an offer for either kind of trade. Thanks for looking!

Caution: It's important to remember that these evaluations are guides to potential health concerns and not definitive measures of a product's safety or efficacy. They are based on individual ingredients rather than any negative effects the final product may have. The way ingredients interact in a formulation can influence their potential impact, and the presence of a specific ingredient does not automatically equate to harm when used in a product. It's always crucial to do your own research, consider the product as a whole, and keep in mind that personal reactions can vary greatly. When making decisions about personal care products, it is recommended to consult with healthcare professionals.
​
Brief: The formula is largely based on nonfat milk and lactose, which mimic the natural composition of breast milk. Vegetable oils provide essential fatty acids, while the included ARA and DHA promote brain and eye development. Prebiotics like galactooligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides are beneficial for gut health. Nonetheless, parents should note that palm olein oil may interfere with calcium absorption. Also, soy allergies are common in infants, so caution is advised if your child has shown any soy-related symptoms. Always consult a pediatrician before introducing a new formula.
​
Ingredients: Nonfat Milk, Lactose, Vegetable Oils (Palm Olein, Soy, Coconut, High Oleic [Safflower or Sunflower] Oil), Whey Protein Concentrate, Galactooligosaccharides, Less Than 1%: Mortierella Alpina Oil, Crypthecodinium Cohnii Oil, Fructooligosaccharides, Soy Lecithin, Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin D3, Vitamin E Acetate, Vitamin K1, Thiamine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6 Hydrochloride, Vitamin B12, Niacinamide, Folic Acid, Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Chloride, Calcium Hydroxide, Magnesium Chloride, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Cupric Sulfate, Potassium Bicarbonate, Potassium Iodide, Potassium Hydroxide, Potassium Phosphate, Sodium Selenite, Sodium Citrate, Taurine, L-Carnitine, Beta-Carotene, Mixed Tocopherol Concentrate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Monoglycerides, Nucleotides (Adenosine-5'-Monophosphate, Cytidine-5'-Monophosphate, Disodium Guanosine-5'-Monophosphate, Disodium Uridine-5'-Monophosphate)
​

Typical ingredients description and side effects

​
  • Zinc Sulfate
    • Zinc sulfate is a mineral that is frequently used in dietary supplements and baby formulas. Zinc is an essential nutrient that supports various body functions, including immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division. It's particularly important for babies as they grow and develop.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Gastrointestinal Issues: Excessive intake of zinc can cause gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.
      • Zinc Toxicity: While rare, severe overconsumption can lead to zinc toxicity, with symptoms including loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headaches. Long-term excessive intake could potentially interfere with the body's absorption of other essential minerals like copper and iron.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 6
​
  • Manganese Sulfate
    • Manganese sulfate is a mineral that's often used in dietary supplements and food products, including baby formula. Manganese is an essential nutrient that supports many body functions, including bone development, metabolism, and brain function. As of my knowledge, manganese sulfate is generally considered safe in the quantities typically found in food and formula, but excessive intake can lead to adverse effects
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Neurological Effects: High levels of manganese exposure have been associated with neurological issues, but this is generally associated with environmental exposure (like inhaling manganese dust), not dietary intake.
      • Interference with Iron Absorption: Manganese can interfere with the absorption of iron. This is generally not a problem with the levels of manganese found in baby formula, but it could potentially be an issue with very high levels of intake.
      • Digestive Issues: As with any mineral, consuming excessive amounts could potentially cause digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 3
​
  • Ferrous Sulfate
    • Ferrous sulfate is a type of iron supplement that's often added to baby formulas. Iron is an essential nutrient that's necessary for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. It's also worth noting that some infants may have difficulty absorbing iron from supplements like ferrous sulfate, which can potentially lead to issues such as iron deficiency anemia. However, most infants can absorb and utilize the iron in baby formula without issue.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Gastrointestinal Issues: These can include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or stomach upset.
      • Iron Toxicity: Though very rare and typically associated with accidental ingestion of iron supplements, iron toxicity can be serious, causing symptoms like dizziness, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, fever, and in severe cases, can lead to organ damage.
      • Interference with Nutrient Absorption: Excessive iron can interfere with the absorption of other nutrients, such as zinc.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 4
​
  • Sodium Selenite
    • Sodium selenite is a form of selenium, an essential mineral required for a variety of biological functions. It is sometimes used in infant formula to ensure that babies get an appropriate amount of this nutrient. Selenium plays several important roles in the body. It's a key component of various enzymes and proteins, many of which are involved in protecting cells from damage. It also supports a healthy immune system, aids in DNA production, and is involved in thyroid hormone metabolism. However, like all nutrients, selenium needs to be consumed in appropriate amounts. Both too much and too little selenium can be harmful.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Selenium Toxicity (Selenosis): Although it's rare, consuming too much selenium over time can lead to selenosis. Symptoms might include gastrointestinal upset, hair loss, white blotchy nails, garlic breath odor, fatigue, irritability, and mild nerve damage.
      • Interference with Other Nutrients: High levels of selenium can interfere with the absorption of other essential nutrients, like zinc.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 10
​
  • Vitamin A Acetate
    • Vitamin A Acetate, also known as retinyl acetate, is a form of vitamin A that's often added to food products, including infant formula, due to its essential role in supporting vision, the immune system, and overall growth and development. It's generally safe for use in such products, but as with any nutrient, too much can lead to adverse effects. It's important to note that these side effects are generally associated with excessive intake over a prolonged period, not normal dietary consumption.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Vitamin A Toxicity (Hypervitaminosis A): This can occur if an infant is given too much Vitamin A over a long period of time. Symptoms can include nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and even hair loss in severe cases. However, it is extremely rare and typically associated with over-supplementation, not food sources.
      • Birth Defects: Consuming extremely high levels of Vitamin A during pregnancy can potentially lead to birth defects. However, this is not relevant to baby formula but rather a concern for pregnant women.
      • Interactions with other nutrients: High levels of Vitamin A can interfere with the absorption and utilization of other vitamins, such as Vitamin D and Vitamin K.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 9
​
  • Tocopheryl Acetate
    • Tocopheryl Acetate is a form of vitamin E that is often added to baby formula, skincare products, and various other products. Vitamin E is an essential nutrient known for its antioxidant properties. It plays a crucial role in protecting cells from damage, supporting immune function, and promoting healthy skin and eyes. In the context of baby formula, tocopheryl acetate is generally safe and unlikely to cause side effects when consumed at levels that are within the recommended dietary allowances for infants. However, like any nutrient, it could potentially cause side effects if consumed excessively.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Bleeding: Vitamin E has mild anticoagulant properties, meaning it can prevent blood clots. While this is typically a good thing, in large amounts, it could potentially increase the risk of bleeding.
      • Nausea, Diarrhea, Stomach Cramps: Some people may experience digestive upset from consuming too much vitamin E.
      • Rash: Some individuals may have a skin reaction to topical use of tocopheryl acetate, though this is less relevant for its presence in baby formula
    • EWG Skin Grade: 3
​
  • Potassium Hydroxide
    • Potassium Hydroxide is commonly used in the food industry as a pH regulator or a food stabilizer. It helps to maintain the acidity or alkalinity of food, which is important for flavor, preservation, and food safety. In baby formula, Potassium Hydroxide is used to adjust the pH to make it as close to human milk as possible, to ensure optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Irritation: Potassium hydroxide is known to be caustic, meaning it can cause irritation or burns if it comes into direct contact with the skin or eyes in its pure form. However, in food products like baby formula, it's used in very diluted quantities that are safe for consumption.
      • Digestive Issues: If consumed in large amounts, potassium hydroxide could potentially cause digestive issues such as nausea or vomiting. However, the small amounts used in food products are unlikely to cause such effects.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 5
​
  • Soy Lecithin
    • Soy lecithin is a common ingredient found in various food products, including baby formulas. It is derived from soybean oil and is used as an emulsifier, helping to blend and stabilize the ingredients in the formula. Soy lecithin is generally considered safe for consumption, but like any food ingredient, it can have potential side effects or considerations.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Allergies or Sensitivities: Soy is one of the top food allergens, and some individuals may have allergies or sensitivities to soy products, including soy lecithin. Allergic reactions can vary in severity and may include symptoms such as hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or digestive issues. If your baby has a known soy allergy or shows signs of an allergic reaction after consuming a baby formula containing soy lecithin, it is important to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
      • Digestive Sensitivities: Some individuals, including babies, may have digestive sensitivities to soy-based products. This can manifest as symptoms like gas, bloating, colic, or diarrhea. If your baby experiences any of these symptoms after consuming a baby formula containing soy lecithin, you may consider discussing alternative formulas with your pediatrician.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 4
​
  • Vitamin A Acetate
    • Vitamin A Acetate, also known as retinyl acetate, is a form of vitamin A that's often added to food products, including infant formula, due to its essential role in supporting vision, the immune system, and overall growth and development. It's generally safe for use in such products, but as with any nutrient, too much can lead to adverse effects. It's important to note that these side effects are generally associated with excessive intake over a prolonged period, not normal dietary consumption.
    • Potential Side Effects:
      • Vitamin A Toxicity (Hypervitaminosis A): This can occur if an infant is given too much Vitamin A over a long period of time. Symptoms can include nausea, dizziness, blurred vision, and even hair loss in severe cases. However, it is extremely rare and typically associated with over-supplementation, not food sources.
      • Birth Defects: Consuming extremely high levels of Vitamin A during pregnancy can potentially lead to birth defects. However, this is not relevant to baby formula but rather a concern for pregnant women.
      • Interactions with other nutrients: High levels of Vitamin A can interfere with the absorption and utilization of other vitamins, such as Vitamin D and Vitamin K.
    • EWG Skin Grade: 9

What is causing my iron deficiency? Really health anxious.
How bad is my blood work?
I’m really anxious about what the cause is. I had a baby via c section last year and have been breastfeeding for 15 months.
Since then, I’ve had bowel issues. I’ve had health anxiety over this for like a year and that has made everything worse, I keep thinking I have colon cancer and now with low ferritin it has freaked me out more! My hemoglobin has stayed stable for a year though so I hope that rules out GI bleeds. 😩
I had a colonoscopy last year that removed a polyp. I’m worried it has missed something.
I don’t have periods regularly (breastfeeding I think) so it can’t be that.
Any ideas what could be causing this? How bad are my bloods?
Thanks!
