The following is a directive by the 2nd Shock Army instructing its subordinate formations and commanders on how to prepare and carry out a breakthrough, including organizational measures to improve its combat effectiveness. 2nd Shock Army was deployed in the rear of 2nd Belorussian Front, in December 1944, preparing to participate in the East Prussian Operation. In mid-January to would successfully break out from the Rozhan bridgehead.

DIRECTIVE FOR THE ORGANIZATION AND CONDUCT OF THE EAST PRUSSIAN OFFENSIVE OPERATION
TO THE CORPS COMMANDERS AND CHIEFS OF THE TROOP BRANCHES OF THE 2ND SHOCK ARMY
When preparing for a breakthrough, I require you to focus particular attention on the following issues:
PREPERATORY PERIOD
[1)]
a) Study in the entire tactical depth of the enemy’s defense his engineering structures and obstacles, infantry and anti-tank fire systems, artillery and mortar groups, and the system of observation posts.
b) Know the areas where reserves are concentrated and the possible directions of counterattacks. Senior commanders (commanders of rifle corps and rifle divisions) must also know the operational depth of the enemy’s defense, the location of his operational reserves, the possibility of meeting them and on what lines.
c) Know where tanks are concentrated and the possible directions of their actions.
d) Using an observation system and studying all intelligence data in detail, establish the combat routine of the defending enemy.
2) Organization of observation
a) No later than December 25 the army headquarters will equip one OP [Observation Point] (main) in each direction and two auxiliary ones, providing them with communications equipment, surveillance equipment and specially trained officers.
b) Corps and division commanders must determine places for OPs and report to me no later than 12/18.
All OPs from the platoon commander and above must ensure complete observation of the terrain from the starting position according to the principle - every commander must see the battlefield.
Telephones should be placed at the OP for those where the commander is monitoring the battlefield.
c) Artillery and infantry observation should be organized by the army headquarters from 12/20/44, corps and divisions - by special order with the obligatory keeping of observation logs and a report to the top.
Observation data for the day should be submitted to corps headquarters and artillery headquarters to army headquarters by 10 p.m. daily.
d) At the OP from regiments and above, specially trained and instructed officers (3-4 people), headed by a staff officer and provided with security (2-3 machine gunners), must be located and monitored.
Observers should change every 2 hours.
The senior officer must visit the OP at least once a day.
e) Each commander must have a map with data from his personal observation and data received from other commanders (in different colors).
Artillery and infantry commanders should compare the data received by each of them about the enemy to clarify them.
f) By 12/28, the Army Headquarters will provide the corps and divisions with maps filled with the situation about the enemy based on data received from the defenders, observation from the OPs and from other sources.
3) Study the area
a) Study in detail the features of the terrain in front of the enemy’s front line of defense, in the tactical depth of his defense, and for higher commanders in the operational depth. Pay special attention to studying the terrain in tank terms.
b) Keeping in mind the open nature of the terrain, carefully study all approaches to the enemy’s front line, possible starting positions for the attack and the directions along which the artillery will advance.
Know the roads leading to the front line from the depths, and the roads in the depths of the enemy’s defense in the zone intended for the offensive.
4) Secrecy and camouflage of measures taken to prepare the operation
a) Regrouping of troops (infantry, artillery, tanks) should be carried out only at night.
Carefully camouflage the areas where troops are located, preventing the appearance of smoke during the day and the lighting of fires at night.
b) Eliminate any possibility of communication and conversations with the local population. Under no circumstances should commanders and fighters be allowed to be housed with local residents.
The headquarters of units and formations are usually located in a forest.
c) Warn all personnel about the inadmissibility of revealing the numbering of army units and formations.
d) Avoid talking on the phone about ongoing events. The commanders of the formations personally approve the lists of persons to whom telephone numbers are left and the right to converse.
Strictly prohibit the use of radio equipment until the moment of the attack.
e) Do not allow signs indicating unit numbers, field mail and commanders' names, as well as identification marks of hospitals and rear institutions to be displayed at intersections and at entrances to areas where formations and units are located. The latter will be displayed by special order.
f) Take the strictest measures to protect documents and maps, preventing their loss. Do not take maps with the details of your units to the front line.
g) Army headquarters, rifle corps headquarters, rifle divisions and rifle regiments organize a commandant service, establish commandant posts and patrols and carefully instruct them.
Commandant posts and patrols should not allow accumulations of vehicles, horse-drawn vehicles and manpower, especially in areas of visibility, and ensure strict compliance with all camouflage instructions.
Inform all personnel that the requirements of commandant posts and patrols are mandatory for all officers, regardless of official position.
h) All reconnaissance should be carried out in accordance with special instructions.
5) Combat training
Combat training begins on 12/20/44.
Combat training of troops differs from general combat training in that it is carried out in a specific environment.
Commanders of formations and units should organize combat training based on the specific tasks of each unit (being in the first or second echelon, with whom and when it interacts, etc.).
Conduct combat training on terrain as similar as possible to the one on which you will operate.
Corps and division commanders should be ready for an operational game at army headquarters by 12/26/44 based on the materials and conditions of the operation being prepared.
6) Work of headquarters
a) All headquarters prepare a complete schedule of urgent reports and the procedure for its implementation.
Establish a list of officers responsible for information from higher headquarters, formations of supporting and interacting units.
Consider the failure of the transmission of at least one report at any link to be an emergency.
Pay special attention to the truthfulness of the information.
b) Check the readiness of all means of communication: telephone, telegraph, radio, mobile vehicles (liaison officers, cars, motorcycles, etc.).
Have a reserve of radio equipment to create intermediate stations, especially for communication with mobile groups.
c) Check the distribution of functional responsibilities among staff officers and their mastery.
d) Ensure control over the implementation of combat orders of commanders. Following a combat order, an officer of the operations directorate (department) must be sent to the troops to monitor the implementation of this order.
The officers sent must be instructed by the formation commander or chief of staff and have a firm knowledge of the mission of the formation, unit or subunit to which they are sent.
e) Minimize the production time for operational documents, without in any way “eating up” the time of lower headquarters.
f) Carefully work out in advance all interaction documents for the entire depth of the battle.
g) Prepare SUV (Covert troop management) documents in advance and send them to the troops.
Immediately upon receipt of them, organize training and ensure free use of them by all officers, especially officers and administrators.
7) Logistical support
a) Carefully check the condition of automatic weapons. Each fighter must have the prescribed number of cartridges, each machine gun must have the prescribed number of belts and disks. Belts should not be damp.
Check the winding of the seals, the tension of the return springs, the availability of spacer rings (spare), extractors and antifreeze fluid.
In rifle platoons, which are intended for special work in clearing mines and laying paths for infantry, have carts for pulling away wire and other obstacles.
b) Check the ammunition from the rifle to the gun. Determine where to store ammunition, who, how and where to supply it.
c) The equipment of each fighter must be checked (fitting of uniform, equipment, contents of duffel bag, etc.).
d) Prepare a backpack supply for soldiers in the amount of one daily allowance, the issuance of which will be carried out by special order of division commanders.
Check the feeding arrangements, especially on the first day of the fight.
e) All vehicles must be repaired, possible routes determined, fuel depots installed. Each driver must be familiar with these routes and road conditions in advance. Cars must have chains and tools (shovels, axes).
f) Put horse-drawn transport in order.
g) On roads in the army zone, install signs at all intersections indicating populated areas, marking altitudes and azimuths of directions.
h) In crossing areas, prepare gaps and exits from roads every 50 m in both directions. Crossings should be distributed among commanders of formations and a commandant service should be established on them, avoiding the accumulation of vehicles, horse-drawn vehicles or manpower.
i) Establish a procedure for evacuating the wounded. Designate sanitary picket points.
Explain to the soldiers that the wounded must bring their weapons to the dressing station, and the weapons of the seriously wounded must be picked up by orderlies.
j) Explain to all fighters the inadmissibility of using captured products and “junk”.
k) All commanders should check the unit’s logistics on a daily basis.
PREPARATION AND OCCUPATION OF THE STARTING POSITION FOR THE ATTACK
1) The day before the troops reach their starting position, mark the routes to it for each company to prevent wandering and mixing of units. Set up beacons.
Take the most decisive measures so that soldiers and officers cannot get lost and fall into the hands of the enemy. Under no circumstances should you allow yourself to go over to the enemy’s side.
2) Study the starting position and equip it so that the infantry and materiel are completely covered. Eliminate the possibility of exposure and losses of manpower and materiel.
Considering the dampness of the soil and the appearance of track marks on it after turning off the road, these marks should be immediately smoothed out.
3) Regiment commanders prepare and fix roads to pull everything necessary to the starting position.
4) Consider the organization of communication when reaching the starting position.
5) Reach the starting position over two nights.
On the first night, bring out heavy infantry fire weapons and direct fire weapons. Those guns that can be seen in positions by the enemy should be brought out on the second night.
On the second night, bring out the infantry.
6) When taking over a combat area from defending units, carefully study your own and enemy’s minefields.
Clear your minefields located in the depths of the defense in advance; those located in front of the front line should be cleared of mines two to three days before the offensive, organizing the protection of the passages.
Clear enemy minefields within two nights. This demining is carried out under conditions of careful camouflage from enemy observation.
7) Before leaving for the starting position, explain to all personnel: for what, where and how should they do it, what secrecy and camouflage measures to take.
Bring the combat mission to the fighters 4 hours before the start of the attack.
INFANTRY ATTACK AND COMBAT IN THE DEPTH OF THE ENEMY'S DEFENSE
1) Build battle formations not according to a template, but taking into account the specific actions of each unit and subunit.
During a frontal breakthrough, the battle formation will be straightforward, in a forest battle - along road directions, when crossing rivers - echeloned, and when fighting in the depths of defense - maneuverable.
Pay special attention to the placement of forces and weapons in combat formations at all stages and in all conditions, so that fire weapons do not lag behind the infantry.
Senior commanders check the decisions of subordinate commanders, carefully explain the shortcomings they made in the formation of battle formations and indicate measures to eliminate these shortcomings.
2) Every Red Army soldier must understand that the main goal of an organized breakthrough of the enemy’s defense is to reach the firing positions of his artillery in the first 2-3 hours of the battle.
3) Remind each officer once again that combined arms combat consists of three elements:
a) organizing artillery fire support,
b) organizing close combat between infantry and tanks and
c) organizing close interaction between these two elements.
4) Remember that the basis of artillery fire support is not artillery preparation, but the organization of artillery fire in the depths of the enemy’s defense.
Every officer must know that the success of artillery fire depends on good organization of reconnaissance, on his knowledge of the capabilities of all means of reinforcement and the correct formulation of tasks.
5) An infantry strike must be preceded by a fire strike. This means that it is necessary to follow this order: reconnaissance, then fire strike, then attack, and not the reverse.
6) During the attack, under no circumstances should infantry be allowed to lie in the first trench. It is dangerous because it causes a desire to take cover and, as a rule, is always targeted by enemy artillery.
Don't linger at temporary stops; The longer people lie, the more difficult it is to raise them, the greater the losses.
The attack must be swift.
7) All means must be used to hit one place. Everything must be linked together.
I forbid pointing at others: “The tanks failed,” “The infantry did not rise,” “The artillery did not support.”
Check the implementation of interaction issues at all levels.
The artillery commanders will be with the infantry commanders.
8) During a battle deep in the enemy’s defense, obtaining accurate data on the enemy’s behavior becomes of utmost importance. Report about the enemy only quantitatively, and not organizationally, i.e. 30-40 soldiers and not a company or platoon.
Report exactly where and what enemy firing points are hindering the advance. Do not allow the expressions: “Heavy machine gun or mortar fire.”
9) Each commander knows at any time the position and condition of the formation (unit). The situation report must always be truthful.
The commander must have the courage to report whether his unit can carry out the order at a given moment, and if not, then for what reasons.
10) The depth of the enemy’s tactical defense in front of the army’s front lies at the line of 6-8 km from the front edge (the artillery positions). Until we reached the artillery positions, the breakthrough was not realized.
11) Consider the tactics of using tanks by the enemy:
a) for counterattacks with small groups of infantry,
b) as fixed firing points (armored fortified points) and
c) in night battle conditions.
Introduce to every officer the procedure for organizing anti-tank defense, which should include:
– a two-tier construction of the AT defense is provided;
– measures to combat both counterattack tanks and armored fortified points are indicated.
Take measures to consolidate occupied lines.
The two-tier construction of AT defense should be understood as follows:
– first tier – fire weapons from platoon to regiment (from anti-tank grenades to regimental guns); this tier is mobile and is located in infantry combat formations; his task is to fight enemy tanks and self-propelled guns encountered along the path of troops;

• the second tier is organized in depth from anti-tank fighter regiments and other artillery reinforcement means. This tier moves in jumps from line to line and ensures the advancement of the infantry.

A solid knowledge by officers and soldiers of the order of constructing anti-tank support prevents tank fear.
Each unit should have groups of sapper-hunters to blow up tanks.
12) The battle must be continuous, waged day and night. Continuity is achieved through reserves and the use of battalions specially trained for night combat. When issuing an order to commit a reserve to battle, the same order should also indicate the creation of a new reserve.
The order for a night battle should be given in such a way that the unit is not late in starting action.
13) The attack must be general. Do not allow the formation's battle to turn into battles of individual units. This can only be achieved by good observation of the enemy, knowledge of the situation, immediate response to the course of the battle, and solving the problem using fire weapons.
14) The battle must be deep, which means that commanders are required to know not only the object they are attacking, but also what is behind it, by organizing deep reconnaissance.
15) Provide advance relocation to new command posts and OPs. The relocation plan must be approved in advance by a senior commander. The axis of movement of the command post must be known to junior commanders.
You can move to a new point only when communication is established there.
16) Commanders who have personal radio stations should always keep them with them and during the offensive do not move forward without them.
17) The names of the commanders of units and formations are addressed on the radio only by their operational call signs, because some of them were published in the orders of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and mentioning them will enable the enemy to establish from which front these units or formations arrived.
18) Prohibit communications on the radio in the clear. Use only communications tables, reference diagrams and coded maps.
ISSUES OF ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF FIRE
1) All commanders should check their subordinates’ knowledge of the materiel, ability to eliminate delays, and tactically, competently, fire and use each type of weapon.
2) Check all weapons for trouble-free operation and combat accuracy.
3) Require officers, non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel to make full use of infantry fire, especially at the moment when artillery fire will be transferred from the first trench to the second.
Carefully consider infantry fire according to the stages of the battle.
2-3 minutes before launching an attack, heavy machine guns should open fire on the enemy trench under attack. Be sure to take into account which heavy machine guns will go on the attack with the infantry and which ones will support them with fire.
Light machine guns must be completely in the combat formations of the attacking infantry and fire on the move and from short stops.
Fire from machine guns on the move during an attack, taking into account to save ammunition when you need to fight in the second and subsequent trenches.
4) Artillery commanders should not dismiss the organization of fire combat for the infantry itself. Take into account the fire of heavy and light machine guns in planning.
5) The guns will be assigned to companies and platoons; you should always help them move with you, and not abandon them.
6) Commanders of rifle corps and divisions and artillery commanders should give instructions to officers up to the company commander on how and what type of artillery should be assigned tasks.
7) Each commander is obliged to know what assets are operating in his offensive zone in addition to his group. Every leader should inform his subordinates about this so that they can take it into account when making a decision.
8) Division commanders must approve the OP for direct fire guns. Each direct fire weapon must have its own target, the nature and position of this target, the number of shells to hit it, and the time for their consumption.
Rifle corps, divisions and regiments must have general fire plans for direct fire guns.
Direct fire guns should only be placed on the observation posts when the latter are fully prepared and all work is camouflaged. After installing direct fire guns, they should also be carefully camouflaged so that the enemy could not guess their presence even with the help of photographs.
9) In terms of artillery fire for the destruction of trenches, each artillery and mortar battery must have its own area, preventing firing in areas.
Check target numbers with batteries and guns to ensure there are no typos or errors. Also check the trench numbers.
10) Particularly consider the issue of organizing fire to repel counterattacks of small groups of the enemy, with the help of which he seeks to delay our advance. In such cases, the counterattacking infantry must be met with organized fire and, pursuing it, burst into his trenches on the shoulders of the enemy.
11) When moving artillery, first of all move those batteries whose fire has reached the [range] limit.
ISSUES OF USING TANKS AND SELF-PROPELLED GUNS
1) Eliminate the shortcomings in the use of self-propelled artillery that occurred in previous battles: excessive fragmentation of self-propelled units, the use of self-propelled guns as tanks, lack of proper assistance from sappers in clearing mines, building bridges, etc.
Self-propelled guns are used to reinforce regiments as infantry escort weapons.
In regimental battle formations, self-propelled guns should be placed behind the infantry.
2) Provide assigned tanks with fire from the guns of the infantry's anti-tank system. The guns accompanying the tanks must be accurately aimed at the enemy firing points that they need to suppress.
3) Fully use the minesweeper tanks attached to formations. The actions of these tanks will be supported by infantry fire.
To remove and neutralize mines not detonated by minesweeper tanks, assign sapper groups to accompany them.
ENTERING RESERVES INTO BATTLE
(second echelons)
1) Take all necessary measures to eliminate the possibility of delay in bringing reserves (second echelons) into battle.
The commanders of the reserve units must be at the OP together with the commanders of the units advancing in the first echelon.
2) Commanders of reserve units are required to conduct reconnaissance on all possible directions of action of their units.
3) Thoroughly work out on the ground issues of interaction related to the introduction of reserves. Determine the boundaries of deployment, reassignment of reinforcement equipment, establish signals and the procedure for organizing communications.
Avoid delays in switching amplifiers.
INTRODUCTION OF MOBILE GROUPS INTO THE BREAKTHROUGH
Commanders of rifle divisions and regiments can be appointed heads of mobile groups. They need to remember the following:
– more initiative; do not wait for the decision of senior commanders;
– conduct thorough reconnaissance, especially engineering;
– always have a group of sappers ready to clear mine routes, fix roads, and build bridges;
– in case of major damage, use all available human resources to correct it, without waiting for the sapper units to arrive;

• ensure communication both within the group and especially with the highest headquarters of the formation in whose zone it operates;

– before the introduction of a mobile group, check that the issues of interaction, communication and support have been worked out by the commander in whose zone the group operates.
BATTLE MANAGEMENT ISSUES
1) By 12/20/44, check the staffing, composition and preparedness of the headquarters of company and battalion commanders and the availability of communications equipment. Avoid loss of control in this link.
Every officer must once again understand that control during battle is the basis of success; its loss threatens to disrupt the offensive.
2) Rocket signals should be a means of control only by the regiment commander. Other commanders duplicate these signals.
The signals should be common throughout the breakthrough area.
3) Use only white flares to indicate our front line when flying our aircraft. These missiles should only be launched at the very front line. Prohibit the use of white flares for any other signals. Corps commanders should check and report the presence of white flares and signal pistols.
4) Ensure that rifle units (companies) are always combat-ready. It is necessary to maintain a combination of manpower and fire.
After each battle, restore the combat readiness and firepower of the attacking units.
5) Each commander must have two pre-appointed deputies.

This is a discussion about Christian theology. There's some real obvious stuff I discuss up top, and some more arcane stuff later, namely the Doctrine of the Serpent Seed and the View of Felix Culpa. Feel free to jump to those if you don't want a rehash of all the Jesus/Satan parallels in the trailers but I think it's worth a refresh.
Relationships
Miquella is Marika's child. Messmer is Marika's child. The first comes from the world's Golden Order and the second from the Land of Shadow. The gameplay trailer has Messmer referring to "mother" and doesn't say Marika's name directly but she's the most likely candidate to sanction someone becoming a Lord since it's her order that was last in existence.
Christ and Satan
Miquella and Messmer take center stage in the gameplay trailer and both are referenced heavily throughout. If you have the Grace of Gold, you won't meet death. That's a promise of Marika's since within the Golden Order the Rune of Death has been removed. People return to the Erdtree. In contrast, Messmer says "Those stripped of the Grace of Gold shall all meet death in the embrace of Messmer's flame." So to be graced means salvation, and to not be means destruction. Heaven, hell, with Miquella aligned with the salvation aspect and Messmer aligned with the destruction aspect.
So Miquella is pretty heavily aligned with Christ. Miquella's rune blatantly looks like a cross, evoking Christ. The gameplay trailer says he "wields love to shrive clean the hearts of men." To shrive in Christian practice is to hear a confession and absolve a person of their sin. Christ in the Bible is described as a Christian's High Priest who wipes clean a person's heart.
But the most important words here are from the story trailer which says, "Miquella would abandon everything. His golden flesh, his blinding strength. Even his fate." So the motif here parallels Phillippians 2, which says about Jesus, "Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!" Here we have both casting off divinity.
In contrast, and as noted above, Messmer is aligned with Satan in a lot of ways. There's the quote that his fire destroys those not graced by gold, similar to how hellfire is the destruction of the unsaved. There's also the snake imagery, and the fire motif.
The Doctrine of the Serpent Seed
Alright so now for the first doctrine. The story trailer says that in the beginning, there was "The seduction and the betrayal." The story of the Garden of Eden often references Eve being seduced not necessarily sexually but by the allure of becoming a god. The Old King James version specifically says, "Your eyes shall be open, and you shall be as gods." So we have an initial parallel here of this moment being when both Marika and Eve become as gods because of their affair.
For Eve it wasn't a sexual affair, and it might not have been Marika's either. But there's a lot happening in that trailer that evokes sexuality and actual birth, including two images of what looks like the vulva and a birthing canal.
At any rate, the trailer then says this was "An affair from which Gold arose. And so too was Shadow born." So this act of Marika's brings both salvation and destruction. Those blessed by Gold had the prospect of life eternal, while those left in the Shadows faced destruction.
In the Doctrine of the Serpent Seed, it is believed that Eve first had sex with the snake before she had sex with Adam. Her affair with the snake gave birth to Cain, while her relationship with Adam gave birth to Abel and Seth. This doctrine marks the descendants of Cain versus Adam/Seth as two different races of human beings. The first was the wicked descendants of the snake who was cursed to be damned, while the second was the righteous who were bound to have eternal life. And we see in the trailers that Marika's decisions, like Eve, produced two outcomes with a group of the damned and a group of the saved.
And, of course, throughout Elden Ring, the snake is associated with wickedness and a betrayal to the Erdtree, such as with the Duelist Helm, which explicitly states, "The snake is viewed as a traitor to the Erdtree."
Am I saying Marika slept with god like snake? Maybe. If Messmer is the product of that, he is a reflection of Cain and what Cain represents. Adam and Seth, meanwhile, are two bloodlines similar to how Marika/Radagon has two lines through the Godfrey/Rennala partnerships.
The Doctrine of the Serpent Seed says that history is defined by the conflict between these two races and that one day the descendants of Adam will crush the descendants of the Serpent. I'll just say here that Messmer's got snakes coming out of him and I thought think he gets that from Rennala or Godfrey.
The View of Felix Culpa
Felix Culpa in Christian theology means "happy fault," "blessed fall" or "fortunate fall." In Christian theology, it refers to how the Fall of man brought the unexpected benefit of also allowing for mankind to know and understand the saving grace of Christ. I like the Doctrine of the Serpent Seed more but this one may have some application. I say that because the story trailer says that there was a negative event, a seduction and betrayal, but that this allowed for Gold to arise.
So the story trailer notes that despite the evil that came of this seduction and betrayal, there was also the grace of Gold that arose from it and the eternal life that accompanied it. There is the original salvation offered in the grace of Gold. But the image released from Bandai Namco says that Miquella "abandon(ed) Grace in pursuit of something greater." From a Christian theological perspective, there were two methods of redemption used in human history. The first was the use of the animal sacrifice as practiced historically by the Jewish community. Later, there was the sacrifice of Christ that brought a permanent removal of sin. It sounds crass to describe it as an "upgraded" form of forgiveness but that's the most basic way to put it.
So the unfortunate consequence of Marika's actions also birthed the path to the ultimate form of salvation not even in her original design, but through Miquella's sacrificing of his own divinity in pursuit of something greater.
In the end, I think there's a nice little resonance between the Doctrine of the Serpent Seed and Felix Culpa going on in the trailer.

After hearing EIYPO concept , I m having doubts like if any person in my reality fight with any one or suffer from any pain , I m getting panic attacks thinking I m the reason for their pain. I couldn't spend time with my husband as If I m feeling he is not real or clone of myself . Please help me..I m starving for peace within me.. I could not feel like living normal life instead I am seeing myself as alone in this great world of many people.
I am getting panic attacks..
Please help me..
If everyone is you pushed out true , then 1) how come people around me can feel pain as a result of my thought . 2) are people around me illusion or real humans having veins and blood inside them.? If they are real and projection of my thought , then is any possibility of soul residing inside them? 3)If everyone is you pushed out true , then how come people survived before even I have been born in this world..? Eg: my mother has her childhood and lived her life before I have born 4) if EIYPO true , then how come my mother's wish ( she wished that I should buy big car which I never thought or wished for ) came true 5) what's the point of living if everyone is our projection, means it seems not a purpose ?
I have a great dream in my life of making my mom happy by granting her many unfulfilled wishes through law of attraction ..when I came to know about EIYPO ,I got devasted that the person whom I believe as my mom is not my mom , she is my reflection..I got two heartbreaks A) how could I make my mom happy when I don't know where or which parallel reality she is living ? B) what is the point in making my this reality mom happy when she is not real soul of my mom ?
6) I got to hear many people sad story around me whom I never met ..the story I m hearing is unimaginable for me which I could never thought of...If EIYPO true , why I m hearing thoughts which I never thought?
7) if people around me are not real soul , then how come they are having their own wish and they are getting wish fulfilled by themselves ?
8) if EIYPO true , then how come my mom felt leg pain as soon as she heard from her friend about her leg pain ? Is EIYPO is energy transfer between individuals ?
If I m the creator my universe or reality , how come my mom's friend send pain energy to my mom which I never wished or even believed in transfer of energy levels..
9) If people around me are my reflection and not real souls then who is feeling the pain of other people ?
10) As I understood , EIYPO - I m creator of my universe where other people thoughts won't affect me or influence me in any way , other people in my reality can get influenced by my thoughts ..
So how come my husband busy more expensive gifts for me which I never dreamt or thought since I will buy anything only for cheap not expensive..
If you are saying that it is my assumption about him means , he is buying for me from Day 1 we met even before knowing him fully..
11) If EIYPO , then people dying in my reality is due to my thought , I can hear people death news whom I never met or known before ..
Who is making them die ?
I m not even thinking of many persons and I get to know that they are struggling is making me feel bad.. Some times I even don't know or seen many people but they are struggling...
12 ) my mom used to feel bad for something which I will think like it is not that much big issue..
So if my mom is my reflection then how come I feel that is small issue but she is feeling bad
13) Covid Corona fever is an existent in all parallel universe ? If parallel universe is real , then how come all the great inventions is carried out to each universe including latest release version of mobile phones and YouTube in all parallel universes ?
I really love my husband and I truly believe him as my Soulmate , but hearing EIYPO making me feel like I m missing him and how can I live with his real self ..I m getting tears typing this ...I really want to live with my people....
I hear people say and feel wonderful for EIYPO , but I couldn't feel like that since it is making me feel lonely and not feel other person as real soul.. Please say how you have handled when you first heard and how to take this concept..

hi first time poster here using a throwaway
I'm a freshman in high school and I just got 2 B+'s as my overall grade for Alg 2 H and bio h. 88 math 89 bio. I have Asian parents, and my mom especially has put a lot of pressure on me for not having good grades. I have a 4.18 GPA rn. I had an A- before, but after receiving a C+ on my final even though I studied for multiple hours the weekend before (~6-8 ish), my grade dropped a percent. I had some plans made for the summer but my parents canceled all of that and are making me do precalc over the summer instead for 5 weeks as a punishment (which doesn't really help me get better at math anyway). I have expressed complaints to them over the past and my mom's default response is that I can leave the house if I want. For extra context, my mom is still mad that I did not get into the private high school that she wanted me to get in and she does not like my current high school very much. She is currently threatening to send me to a public school and recently said that she already filled out a transfer form. She has already canceled most of the plans I made with my friends to go out after school ends, and is still really mad about everything. She is also really obsessed with my grades and checks them every hour to 30 minutes and talks a lot about college and getting into good colleges. It has taken a pretty big toll on my mental health, and I don't know what I should do. I love my parents a lot, but I don't know what I should do since my mom is really overbearing sometimes.
thanks for reading

By Jason Lemkin
A little ways back I put together a list of things sales reps recently said to me as a buyer of SaaS products … that killed the deal:

• “You are wasting my time”. I don’t think many folks say this aloud to prospects, but many B-tier reps say it internally — and think this all the time. No. A prospect’s time is always valuable. Sales is there to serve, and help a prospect find the best solution to their problem. If sales was routed the wrong lead, that’s the company’s fault, not the prospect’s.
• “Our product does [key feature]” — when it doesn’t. If I’m buying a product I haven’t used before, the AE is my guide. If he/she tells me things that aren’t true to close the deal, I’m out. I’m buying a solution. I need to know for real if it solves my problem — or not.
• Constant bashing of competitors. Not only does that make the company look insecure — it makes me want to go test the competitor instead. Even worse (see prior point) is when they say something about a competitor that isn’t true.
• Forcing me to talk to an SDR first. SDRs are great, but oftentimes SMBs don’t want to be qualified. Personally, I want to try, use, and buy. I lose patience here and move to a vendor I can just deploy without being forced to talk to an SDR that just wants to force me to get on the phone and screen me but doesn’t get me going now.
• Wrong / painful economic terms, even if price itself is OK. I’m basically an SMB these days. I don’t like annual contracts, and I especially don’t like being railroaded into enterprise-type contracts — multi-year with no outs. I don’t have patience for any contract that is so long it requires legal review. Let the buyer buy the way they want. And let especially SMBs out if you don’t deliver for them.
• “I’m turning off your trial” — and other threats. Yes, you have to do that. But a sales rep needs to do it the right way. Threats don’t work. How about “Your trial is about to end — I can extend it a week if that helps? Let me know what I can do to help you get going with us!” Then — I’m in.

Anything else to add to Jason's list?

What's going on $FFIE family. I just wanted to post this video here and hope you all can check it out because the gentleman in it brings up some really interesting points that I wanted to outline.
Before we begin just a quick disclaimer:
**Disclaimer: I am in no way a financial advisor, nor am I giving you financial advice by writing this post. This post is just a reiteration of the YouTube video I'm posting here and am essentially just reiterating what this gentleman is suggesting in this video. So at your own discretion, please use this information for educational purposes ONLY and not to guide you in your financial decisions. As always, investing involves lots of risk. Any decisions you do make regarding investing is done at your own will and accord. I'm am making this post just to open up communication and discuss what you all think about this video and the information presented.
**Disclaimer 2: I am some random guy over the internet and the individual in the video is too. This is just one individual's thoughts on the matter and he or I could be totally wrong.
(please watch the original video from yesterday then watch the video attached to this post) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQbCyv9wIAk
(please watch the video from today that I reference in this post) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHEU939Ncp8
Essentially, he discussed in a previous video that possibly millions of shares that don't exist are floating around out there, there was 95% short interest on $FFIE currently; however, these CAT numbers are likely not true and its possible that the short interest is actually a lot higher - while the short sellers are saying that they can sell off all of these shares in anywhere from 30-60 minutes. If you are paying attention to the price, we all know that these clowns cannot do this because they would:
a) have to take a massive loss if they did this.
b) this great community is gaining momentum over them and are owning more and more shares, which is causing us to control the supply of the shares available on the market
Part b) is very important because what the man in the video is explaining is that, the amount of shares that are being reported available are much more than what is actually in circulation. Why does this matter? Its possible that these guys are doing something called 'naked short selling'. This is an illegal practice which involves market manipulation. How does it work? Let's take the scenario we are in.
So to briefly summarize what the normal short sellers hope for is:

1. borrow $FFIE shares from their brokerage at a high price, with expectations price will fall
2. They sell off the shares for the high price
3. They buy the number of shares they need at the price the shares dropped to, return the borrowed shares back to the broker and profit the difference.

Where we get the drop on the short sellers:

1. short sellers borrow $FFIE shares from brokerage at a high price, with expectations price will fall
2. We buy lots and lots of shares and control the supply amount of shares that are available on market by holding them
3. short sellers need the price to come down, otherwise they sell at the higher price and lose money, but get the borrowed shares back to return to their broker to make them whole

What the man in the video is explaining may be happening:

1. short sellers originally and illegally said they had 'borrowed' shares from a broker and are looking to sell them (prior to our large movement or during and up until the present moment)
2. they then 'sell' the shares (that again they don't have) to a potential buyer. That buyer pays these naked short sellers money but they never receive the 'borrowed' shares they were promised.

Just a note before I go on:
I see a lot of people giving each other shit for panic selling. I'm not saying that this wasn't happening or called for, but some of these drops could have been from these naked short sellers who were manipulating the stock price downward illegally? How?
3) the hope of the naked short seller is that in general, they will do this to drive the price down forcibly, buy the stock back at the lower price and then provide the original buyer with the stock to make everyone whole. In turn, they pocket the difference. As you can tell, there is fraudulent behavior in this method and its also manipulating the stock negatively (which is of course an SEC no no).
Here is why: If these sellers come around and tell people they have stock that they don't actually have, this creates more supply of stock (although this isn't the case and this 'stock' that they 'own' doesn't exist. If we look at simple supply and demand, this means there is more supply of the stock, so this causes the price of the stock to drop, as a result).
So in our situation that we are in right now, is unique and as the days go on, we're exposing these naked short sellers. The reason for this is because we are getting to a point where volume is stabilizing and we are owning more and more stock as a community. So then you have to ask yourself, if this is the case, where are they even getting stock to sell and still bringing the price down at these levels? The answer is that they likely are naked short selling and bringing the stock price down illegally and manipulating the price.
Now before you all freak out (too late I'm sure) - this information may actually be a really great thing for us and these people who are working against our efforts. As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, 'If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.'
Why is this difficult for us:
Obviously, whether we hold or not, these individuals can drive the price down (so long as they can keep this charade up - BUT and its a big BUT - there is a time limit and problem with this (this is the good news, I promise)).
Why is this beneficial for us:

• It exposes the potential strategy of those on the other side of our trade - so we can create a counter strategy against this.
• According to FINRA's rules, there is something called a threshold list. If a company gets on this list (which $FFIE has made it on the list), it means that there are individuals that are shorting the stock, but not paying the shorts back over consecutive days. We know this is happening in general, but as the guy in the video discusses, the amount of shares that are being shorted (he says potentially hundreds of millions) and the short interest %, do not make sense, nor does it make anymore sense of how long they are saying it would take to pay the shorts off (30-60 minutes). So its likely that these individuals cannot cover these shorts at all, and there potentially could be reason to believe that they are way in over their head and likely are manipulating the stock to bring it down with their desperate attempts we've seen so far.
• Based on my second point, this is really important because opened shorts on the threshold list have a time limit to be FTD (Failure to Deliver). As of today, we are on day 5 of being on the threshold list with FTD (according to the man in the video). FINRA rules require that if the shorts on the company remain on the threshold list for 13 consecutive days, the short seller must immediately close out their positions by purchasing the shares and in the case of naked short sellers, they may be subject to margin calls with the broker if they can't buy the shares outright (in our situation, this would be the case because they are hesitant to buy, since we are keeping the price too high for them - in turn, this would cause the short seller's account to fall below a maintenance margin and the margin call would be initiated (again sometime after 13 consecutive trading days of them not buying the shares). Also, even in some rare occurrences, the brokerage can take a loan against them and will get the money from them by possibly taking other assets through legal action. The man in the video mentions that a lot of times, these individuals wind up also getting fined and write this off on their taxes.
• This is huge because this gives us somewhat of a timeline of about how long they potentially have to buy back their shares before they truly start running into problems. It doesn't mean on that day that this is it and we get our short squeeze, but I would think that this could possibly shorten our timeline down and gives us a better idea of how long they have to make a move and kind of how things may progress from there. It could take longer than this, its not set in stone.

**Remember: Those who are doing naked shorts are doing so illegally. They literally are telling people to give them money for shares that they don't have, with the hope that they will buy lower priced shares after they've driven the price of the shares down from a top, by introducing shares that don't even really exist into the market. They are in trouble if they cannot hand over the shares to the seller who gave them the money. That won't really last long. The pressure is definitely on because they are committing fraud. So there is that for them to deal with too.
So to summarize:
Naked short sellers are potentially working against us by illegally driving the price down through selling shares that they don't have. Given that the amount of shares being short sold (in the hundreds of millions) probably cannot be delivered in general because they aren't real, the stock having very high short interest % (probably much more than what is actually being reported) and the CAT numbers are telling us that these individuals can buy the shares they borrowed back in anywhere from 30-60 minutes (despite us all owning, holding and in some ways controlling more and more of the supply of the stock), this is hard to believe that any of this is true. Since we now have this information, we can anticipate what these mfers are going to do, which is illegally drive the price down so that they can try and delist the stock from the Nasdaq and buy back the stock for cheap, and eventually get their way.
What can we do?

1. Keep the price above a dollar to avoid Nasdaq delisting.
2. Keep buying and holding shares to wait these fuckers out until sometime around June 4th or 5th because at that point, they will start feeling the pressure and according to FINRA, this would be 13 consecutive days of them not paying their shares back, which can result in potential margin calls and their brokerage may liquidate their assets to buy the shares back at the higher price or slap them with a loan against the naked short sellers, if it ever gets to that point (at a later date) - remember though, this may drag on past this point, its not a guarantee but something I'd like to ponder with you all more about.
3. Pay attention to any other news regarding the company and keep up to date with the fundamentals as well

I may have completely misinterpreted this video because the gentleman takes us in a legal direction and looking at the matter in that way. However, I feel that this information could still be favorable for us all.
He may be right, he may be wrong - but you all tell me what you think.
Let's discuss further!
P.S. I'd like to give a shoutout to ProfessionalAd's post (find it here: https://www.reddit.com/FFIE/comments/1cxcy4g/i\_swearif\_everyone\_would\_just\_read\_and\_comprehend/), where he discusses how to shut off lending of $FFIE and to set buy limits on orders to prevent short sellers from under bidding us. Please check it out whenever you have a minute.

As the title implies, I've been having depressive episodes, each morning is harder to go to work, harder to cook food, I have to force myself to not do a b-line to my rented apartment after work.
A friend told me that I should write about it.
A few weeks ago, was in hometown and parents (and I) were invited to a bbq in a cousin house, now, stuff happened there with my mother but that besides the point.
On the way back we went trough streets I haven't even seen since literal years (used to go a lot because of my grandma, but since she now lives with her parents I don't go there).
So, here's what I wrote on the car that night
On the way back home
City that saw me grow up
Streets that as a kid, I thought that as adult I'd hop around and have fun
Now riddles with crime and drugs
Lights of the casino, jazz from the cafes, covering thorns of a rose
Fitting for the flower city of Chile
Ironically tho ... I'm still nostalgic
The darkness interrupted by a city lights, stuck from the 90s and ocassional modernity
Just as if I was a 7yr old, coming back home from grandma's
Same grandma that now lives in the family house
Who, as a kid, took care of me on the weeks, with a stern, crisis and WW forged soul
and now, I help her go to the bathroom
So sleepy
So tired
I don't know if this a depressive episode, seeing all the success of my cousins, as I'm stuck in a job, burning the salary on my family who gave me so much
But I hope, tonight's dream will be a soothing one

I took a plan b right after I found out the condom broke. When I checked my Flo app, it said I ovulated a day ago. However, I can never really trust that app since my periods are very irregular.
It’s been 6 days since I took the plan b, and yesterday I wokeup and I realized I bled thru my pjs and onto my bed a little bit. I was so happy because I thought I got my period, since it’s supposed to start in a week and I have had periods come earlier than predicted.
My period flow has been enough to use a super tampon, but I haven’t had any red blood?? It’s all been a dark brown color. I usually have very very heavy and painful periods with bright red blood. I looked up implantation bleeding and now I freaked myself out even more (even tho I feel like my flow is a little too heavy to be considered spotting, it’s more of a light period.)
I am just so scared because I have no idea if this is a side effect of the plan b, if it somehow jump started my period, or if this means I’m pregnant and my life is ruined.
I still plan on taking a pregnancy test in a few weeks, but I just need to know if anyone has experienced similar bleeding because I cannot take this stress :(

Hello,
It’s been few months since order from B&H or BestBuy, but still got nothing. Is anybody curious about Panasonic Lumix S9 release tomorrow? All kols and photographers went to Japan last week for Lumix Summit. By rumors, it will use L-mount and size smaller than X100VI.

I had unprotected sex on the 10th of April and took a plan b that night, I also started birth control the next day. I stopped the birth control after about a week after because of how bad the side effects were. Then on May 2nd, about three weeks after, I started what I think to be my period which was 6 days earlier than expected, I’m irregular so I’m not sure what to think of that. It lasted my full 6 days, even going into 7 a bit, but was different than my normal cycles. Normally I get bad cramps but this month the cramps were unbearable, I was nauseous and lightheaded due to how bad they were. I took a high dose of Ibuprofen and drank hot tea which normally helps but didn’t, even heat didn’t help. The bad cramps only lasted for the first day, the rest of the days were just moderate to none. The bleeding was heavier than normal even going into the 4th and 5th days when it normally dies down. I figured my period was a bit different because of the hormonal pills I had taken. On the 18th, so about a week and 4 days after the bleeding, I decided to take a pregnancy test to ease my mind because I started to become paranoid with no answers. The first box were the clearblue first response I believe, on the digital I got a positive but on the dye test I got negative, not even the faintest of lines, within the same 20 minutes with the same “batch” of pee I had held from before I bought three more clearblue digitals which all came out negative. I gave it a couple of days and tested again last night, this time using first response. The digital came out as a positive but the dyes had still not even a faint line so were still negative. I haven’t had any symptoms or haven’t felt anything out of the ordinary, I’m going Friday to a clinic for an ultrasound but I need other opinions.

I like reading good books, which just turn out to be whatever is placed infront of me. I’m a fantasy dweeb but doesn’t mind history or romance (my friend forced me to read bridgerton). If you got a favorite read or a read that you want to share feel free to send me a dm and recommend it!
I really like mythology and is struggling to find something that scratches that myth itch I play dungeons and dragons and lately I’ve been reading more of those books (making a glory of giants campaign)
In the pandemic my sister and I got really into movies, I got her to watch Star Wars, watched a ton of classic and modern horror movies. Lately watched most of the Rocky movies so they’ve been inspiring. I’ve watched lots of those comedy mockumentories, currently watching “what we do in the shadows”
My main video game medium is PlayStation, though I occasionally play pc. Currently doing my first play through of baulders gate 3. My sister got me into playing ukulele…and I’m pretty mediocre. Im a pretty good cook, I’ve always been cooking since I was a kid and I’ve continued into adulthood. I like American, South American, Mediterranean, Asian and Indian food and is always up for exploration
In highschool I really got into music. I collect vinyls when I see something I think I’d like. I mainly collect movie, show and game soundtracks, I have a couple of albums from artist (Igor by Tyler the creator is my favorite). I like 2000’s R&B, and lots of those modern chill pop songs. Most of my Spotify playlist is really relaxed music, a specific type you know? I’ll gladly send it to you if you ask though it’s a strange mix lol.
I could use some different friends then the ones I have now. I’m just kinda there, if I were gone things would continue like usual without me. Though I don’t wanna be that person that dumps on baggage when we talk! I want a completely clean slate with someone who is willing to make a friendship and at the very least mutually try! At least for a bit. From Florida If that matters to y’all!

Hey everyone! I'm working in educational research, specifically using large language models (LLMs) to determine if questions require collaboration between students (like if I give different info to Student A and Student B, and they need to work together to answer). I've been running several LLMs on various questions and now I'm planning to use DSPy to tweak the prompts to hopefully get better accuracy. I can handle the basic DSPy stuff, but I'm stumped on how it actually improves the prompts. I get that prompts with higher metric scores are supposed to be better, but what's the actual strategy DSPy uses to enhance them?
Also, my questions often go beyond simple Q&A—they can get pretty lengthy. Do you think DSPy is suitable for this kind of complex scenario? Any advice would be super helpful. Thanks!

Felt my most recent post needed explanation so here it is
Moon MOVESET

Basic Attacks
Jab: Bite (Moon Bites Down)
Basic Jab

Does Great Damage but no real knockback
Down Smash: Clock Tower (Moon Jumps up as a clock tower appears below them and they crash into leaving debris)
Does Great Damage if touching the moon but no real knock back where the debris does good knockback and slight amount of damage

Neutral Special: Rotation
The moon jumps forward like Shieks Special. It will act like a stronger version of shieks special. And when i say stronger i mean twice as strong and 10 times the knockback. Now don’t worry there are trade offs. First super slow going around the same speed as ness’s pk flash. Second and more chaotically while hes moving its treated like a projectile. Meaning that the attack can reflected which would just do the knockback and damage it would’ve done to the opponent to it. Or even be stolen by villager where the moon will act as though its been buried having to mash out of villagers pocket before villager throws him off the ledge.
Side Special: Consume
Moon chomps down. Acts exactly like wario's neutral special with the caveat that you can move with the opponent still in your mouth. if you use another special while eating the opponent will move with you. Also you can carry multiple opponents leading to all the terror.
Up Special: Giant Lift
4 giants appear under the moon and throws him up. Acts like mr game and watches up b with out the parachute and less lift. But can be used twice in the air before putting them into free fall
Down Special: Major Crash
The moon crashes down on fire while in the air and slides on the floor still on fire if used on the ground. Acts exactly like ganon's wizard foot
Final Smash: Clockworks End

I am in the talking stage with this guy. We talk everyday but we are both busy with different schedules so we are never online at the same time. Some context:
During lockdown, I was in very deep depression. I was extremely lonely, I am an only child and I felt like everybody in my home had a ''person''.
My dad was working long hours and he would get annoyed if I asked him to sit to have lunch with me because I did not want to eat alone.
But if my aunt(joint family) would ask him to sit with her, he would gladly postpone his work and go.
My mom was (still is) cheating on my dad and she used to lock herself in her room to ''sleep'' immediately after coming home from work to talk to her bf
I felt like I was not a priority for anyone.
Now, present time. I was at a library and he was studying there too but we were sitting pretty far away. During lunch time I changed my place and shifted a little closer to where he was sitting and started eating. He got up and said he was going to buy juice, and if i want anything. I said no and started eating. He came back, picked up his lunch and juice, sat on the bench in front of me and turned around. That was the first time we ate lunch together and we talked the whole time. It healed a part of me. I felt like a priority for someone for once.
I know lunch sounds so small, but, it meant a lot to me. We are going to college and we are only going to date if we go to the same college but even if I dont end up dating him, Ill always remember this.
Incident 2 was yesterday:
His mother tongue is B and mine is A. We generally talk in B because I am fluent in it. He had previously told me he didnt want to learn A because it was too time taking. I did not mind because its not like were getting married. But yesterday he tried to speak to me in broken A language. He only got one word right in the entire sentence but, he tried. And for whatever period of time he came in my life,I am glad he did.

Hi Everyone
I'm a ftm here with a few concerns about my son
He does not walk but has been cruising and running on a push walker for a few months now. He started walking by holding my onehand but not independently. He is just too scared to walk independently and all down. He started showing his joy to me recently. He also likes to go out and see cars and the sky and people. He smiles back at people if they call him. He did waving for 2 days when he was 9 months old but never did it again. I think he knows how to do it but is just not interested. He does not point either but knows how to ask for things and my help. He loves me and wants to be with me all the time. he plays with me but likes to play independently. He loves musical toys. He loves to go in the refrigerator lol and laughs when I say no no no lol. He will run coming to the kitchen if he sees I'm using the microwave and wants to close its door haha. He knows how to do peek a b boo but hates doing it. he claps and high five. he knows how to give. He does not listen to his name if he is too busy. IS all this normal or I should be concerned? He loves to play with ball all the time. he drops and chases the ball or sees how it spins.

hi there, so i have 2 Apple IDs, both from different countries, however where i'm living right now is my main one and it has my subscriptions on it. we'll call it ID A and ID B to make it easier. there are some apps on my ID B that are region locked, and i would like to download some of the apps to my main device. ID B is currently being used on an old phone of mine however it's starting to slow down and not support the latest software, hence why i'm doing this.
my concern is, on my ID A, i have some subscriptions that i pay for that i need, and i'm not sure if i'll accidentally glitch my device/ruin my software if i log out of it and switch to ID B. will i lose my subscriptions if i log out of ID A, or will it be fine as long as i don't open the software that requires the subscription?
i tried to make this post easy to understand but it might still be confusing, so thanks if you get it and can answer
