Happy Tuesday, Barkada --

The PSE gained 92 points to 6604 ▲1.4%

Shout-out to Atot for saving the Inside the Boardroom special [MB link] for their "lunch read" (at least it's not a porcelain chair?), to Trina Cerdenia for retweeting the ITB episode with highlights, to Tenkan Sen for noting the bloodbath that has been the recent (and even not-so-recent) IPO market, to Just'n for recognizing that in most cases a secondary IPO is for exit liquidity, to Enrico P. Villanueva for mentioning the ITB article as a jumping-off point for further research and analysis, to Jonathan Burac for providing interesting background on auditors and former-auditors as Independent Directors, to kalel.RON for having their mind blown by my reveal that I'm not Matteo Guidicelli (deep cut for the OGs), to Tirador for the straight-forward review ("pangit an ipo yan"), and to arkitrader for the Monday vibes GIF.
Thanks also to the many readers who wrote in privately with praise, follow-up questions, and comments about yesterday's Inside the Boardroom special episode with OceanaGold PH's President, Joan Adaci-Cattiling. I won't list your names because you didn't choose to make your comments public, but I appreciate all of the notes that I've received and it's encouraging to see the interesting in the ITB series. Thank you!
Just for background, the Inside the Boardroom series takes a lot of extra work to organize, conduct the interview, and write the content for each episode. MB does not receive anything in return for an Inside the Boardroom interview; I only ask for direct access to the c-suite executive and the understanding that all questions that I ask will be direct (not trying to avoid unfavorable parts), to-the-point (not flowery), and without honorifics or deference (no titles or fawning).
I have a great amount of respect for companies and executives that agree to those terms, as there are many companies here that would never in a million years allow their executives to speak publicly, let alone on topics that are not 100% positive and dripping with marketing talking points.
OK, enough of that, let's get to the new stuff!

▌In today's MB:

• COMING UP: This week

▌Main stories covered:

• [COMING_UP] The week ahead... PH: While we had the OceanaGold PH [OGP 12.50 ▼6.2%; 100% avgVol] IPO yesterday, the biggest waves will be made on Thursday when the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) meets to evaluate our interest rate situation. The Union Bank [UBP 34.60 ▼6.0%; 83% avgVol] stock rights offer period will also start on Thursday. International: The only datapoint that I’m following for this week is the US April inflation report, which we should get early Thursday morning.
  
  • MB: The inflation metagame is where my mind’s at these days, and that’s all about inflation expectations. Not so much where inflation “is”, but where people (and companies) think inflation “will be” in the future. Inflation expectations matter because they can cause dramatic changes. For individuals, expectations of higher inflation can lead to changes in purchasing behavior and higher wage demands. For corporations, expectations of higher inflation can cause companies to increase their prices. I think you can see why the US Federal Reserve and the BSP are most afraid of these expectations; they’re something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. There should be a lot of analysis to consume on this point after the US CPI report is out on Thursday morning.
• [UPDATE] OceanaGold falls 6% in first day of trading... OceanaGold PH [OGP 12.50 ▼6.2%; 100% avgVol] [link] dropped a little over 6% in its first day of trading, falling ₱0.82 from its ₱13.33/share IPO price to close at ₱12.50/share. The highest the stock traded was ₱13.34 in the first 20 minutes of trading before consistent selling pressure pushed OGP price to an intra-day low of ₱12.46 around 1:30 PM. The stock mounted a significant recovery to around ₱12.90/share before a massive amount of late-day selling pushed it back down to the ₱12.50 level at the close.
  
  • MB: Since this is the first IPO of the year, the questions in my inbox tell me that we need to quickly cover a few points before we move forward. First, yes, OGP does have a stabilization fund, but it’s important to remember that a stabilization fund isn’t supposed to entirely prevent a stock’s price from falling. A stab fund is best thought of as a discretionary pool of money that a paid agent (in this case, BDO Capital) can use to buy shares on the open market to provide some artificial demand for the stock. It has a limited amount of money (usually around 10% of the value of the total IPO) and a limited amount of time (30 days), and once either of those is gone, so is the fund. The other thing to remember about stab funds is that it’s entirely up to the agent to deploy the limited resources of the fund. They might be hands-off for days before suddenly smashing the market with a swarm of buy orders to soak up the selling pressure, or they might constantly drip artificial buy orders into the market. Or they might employ a chaotic mixture of those strategies. Stability funds are a little bit of short-term downside protection and a handy pool of exit liquidity, but they shouldn’t be seen as IPO Investing insurance or a protection against loss! Be careful out there!
• [DIVS] CREIT, MREIT, and FILRT all declare Q1 dividends... Citicore Energy REIT [CREIT 2.83 ▲0.3%; 345% avgVol] [link] and MREIT [MREIT 12.96 ▲0.1%; 96% avgVol] [link] declared their Q1 dividends on Monday, while Filinvest REIT [FILRT 2.93 ▼2.0%; 47% avgVol] [link] declared its Q1 dividend on Friday. For CREIT, the dividend will be ₱0.049/share (stable), payable on July 9, representing 101% of CREIT’s Q1 distributable income (DI). For MREIT, the dividend will be ₱0.246 (stable), payable on June 14, representing 93% of MREIT’s DI. For FILRT, the dividend will be ₱0.062/share (falling), payable on June 7, representing 99.9% of FILRT’s DI for the quarter.
  
  • MB: The name of the REIT game is stability. While REITs cannot help what happens in the macroeconomic world with interest rates (all REITs got smacked when rates rose to fight inflation), what separates a good REIT from a bad one (in my opinion) is the management team’s ability to effectively worry about everything else to protect the income stream from loss. Bonus points should be awarded to teams who grow their dividend over time. Between these three companies, both CREIT and MREIT have shown the ability to deliver a stable dividend. CREIT has even managed to grow its dividend 11%. That leaves FILRT, which has continued to deliver giant turd after giant turd to its bagholders in the form of smaller and smaller dividends. FIRLT’s first three quarterly divs were at the ₱0.112/share level, and their most recent div was just ₱0.062. That’s a 44.6% drop. I don’t have a thesaurus within reach capable of accurately describing to you just how bad that is for a REIT. It’s not like the company suffered some major trauma that nearly halved the dividend; the div level has fallen four times over the past twelve quarters and in each of the last three.
• [NEWS] FMEFT halted due to broken price tracker... FMETF [FMETF 105.20 ▲0.9%; 5% avgVol] [link], the PSE’s only exchange-traded fund, was halted by the PSE at 1 PM yesterday after it was discovered that its iNav had failed to update since 11:30 AM. FMETF said that it would “coordinate” with its “service provider” to implement a fix, but as of this writing, FMETF has not advised that a fix has been implemented nor has the PSE lifted the halt.
  
  • MB: This problem happened six times last year, and while it’s great that we made it into May before we had our first FMETF outage of this year, it’s still discouraging to see “iNav not calculating” as a problem that we need to contend with in 2024. For those who are unfamiliar, FMETF is an exchange-traded fund, so FMEFT’s per-share price is derivative of the per-share prices of all the shares that FMETF owns/represents. The “iNav” that keeps breaking is the number that represents the current value of FMETF’s holdings, expressed as a “NAV per unit” or “NAV per share”. So, if the iNav isn’t updating, then traders are not getting the kind of information they need to place FMETF stock trades. “We need more ETFs” is something that I’ve heard traders say for years now, and while I still count myself as part of that group, I wish we could see some forward progress in the maintenance of FMETF before we introduce anything more exotic to the market.

Every time I know she has to supervise which is everyday that I have session. She repeats the same stuff over and over it gets me so annoyed. Having to talk to a supervisor reach time I have session, taking notes and paying attention to the kid is hard. Especially doing it everyday. I’m annoyed asf, I’ve been thinking of leaving the case because of her but my kid has started to make progress so I don’t wanna do that.
Another notes: I think it should be mandatory for BCBAs to become BT before so they can get a feel so what it is to do this job🤦🏾‍♀️

• Lesson video

INTRO

Today you'll install a common server application - the Apache2 web server - also known as httpd - the "Hyper Text Transport Protocol Daemon"!
If you’re a website professional then you might do things slightly differently, but our focus with this is not on Apache itself, or the website content, but to get a better understanding of:

• application installation
• configuration files
• services
• logs

YOUR TASKS TODAY

• Install and run apache, transforming your server into a web server

INSTRUCTIONS

• Refresh your list of available packages (apps) by: sudo apt update - this takes a moment or two, but ensures that you'll be getting the latest versions.
• Install Apache from the repository with a simple: sudo apt install apache2
• Confirm that it’s running by browsing to http://[external IP of your server] - where you should see a confirmation page.
• Apache is installed as a "service" - a program that starts automatically when the server starts and keeps running whether anyone is logged in or not. Try stopping it with the command: sudo systemctl stop apache2 - check that the webpage goes dead - then re-start it with sudo systemctl start apache2 - and check its status with: systemctl status apache2.
• As with the vast majority of Linux software, configuration is controlled by files under the /etc directory - check the configuration files under /etc/apache2 especially /etc/apache2/apache2.conf - you can use less to simply view them, or the vim editor to view and edit as you wish.
• In /etc/apache2/apache2.conf there's the line with the text: "IncludeOptional conf-enabled/*.conf". This tells Apache that the *.conf files in the subdirectory conf-enabled should be merged in with those from /etc/apache2/apache2.conf at load. This approach of lots of small specific config files is common.
• If you're familiar with configuring web servers, then go crazy, setup some virtual hosts, or add in some mods etc.
• The location of the default webpage is defined by the DocumentRoot parameter in the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf.
• Use less or vim to view the code of the default page - normally at /vawww/html/index.html. This uses fairly complex modern web design - so you might like to browse to http://165.227.92.20/sample where you'll see a much simpler page. Use View Source in your browser to see the code of this, copy it, and then, in your ssh session sudo vim /vawww/html/index.html to first delete the existing content, then paste in this simple example - and then edit to your own taste. View the result with your workstation browser by again going to http://[external IP of your server]
• As with most Linux services, Apache keeps its logs under the /valog directory - look at the logs in /valog/apache2 - in the access.log file you should be able to see your session from when you browsed to the test page. Notice that there's an overwhelming amount of detail - this is typical, but in a later lesson you'll learn how to filter out just what you want. Notice the error.log file too - hopefully this one will be empty!

Note for AWS/Azure/GCP users

Don't forget to add port 80 to your instance security group to allow inbound traffic to your server.

• AWS
• Azure
• GCP

POSTING YOUR PROGRESS

Practice your text-editing skills, and allow your "classmates" to judge your progress by editing /vawww/html/index.html with vim and posting the URL to access it to the forum. (It doesn’t have to be pretty!)

SECURITY

• As the sysadmin of this server, responsible for its security, you need to be very aware that you've now increased the "attack surface" of your server. In addition to ssh on port 22, you are now also exposing the apache2 code on port 80. Over time the logs may reveal access from a wide range of visiting search engines, and attackers - and that’s perfectly normal.
• If you run the commands: sudo apt update, then sudo apt upgrade, and accept the suggested upgrades, then you'll have all the latest security updates, and be secure enough for a test environment - but you should re-run this regularly.

EXTENSION

• Using systemctl to manage services

RESOURCES

I've decided to fully commit myself to League of Legends. As a result, I've been investing a lot of time into understanding my mistakes and striving to improve both as a player and as a person, particularly in avoiding tilt. Over the past few months, I've made significant progress, culminating in reaching the Diamond rank for the first time. However, I'm determined to push further.
One of the major obstacles I face is my champion pool. While I have a main champion with a solid 61% win rate across 118 games, sometimes I feel the urge to diversify and try out different champions, inevitably resulting in negative win rates.
I'm seeking your assistance in creating my champion pool.
For context, my main champion is Garen, boasting a 61% win rate. What I appreciate most about Garen is his forgiving nature; I can afford to make mistakes during the laning phase and leverage his passive. Additionally, he excels as a split pusher, allowing me to capitalize on leads by pressuring multiple lanes. Furthermore, his ability to swiftly eliminate fed midlaners or ADCs with Flash + Q + E + R makes him invaluable in teamfights, even when my team is behind.
Some other champions I enjoy playing include Gwen, Mordekaiser, and Renekton. However, I'm unsure if these champions complement my playstyle or possess the potential to carry games solo.
I'm eager to discover which champions share similarities with this playstyle.
Note: While Ornn is one of my favorite champions, I've come to realize that playing tanks in solo queue may not be optimal.

I am making my own page templates based off the Campus brand of notebooks and I'm trying to find what dimensions are best for notability. I have an iPad air 4th gen and I want it so that when the preview images for each notebook come up you see the entire cover page, not just it cut off somewhere, as well as optimal writing when taking notes. Does anyone know this? I couldn't find it anywhere.
I've tried both standard 8.5 x 11 and A4 size, but both result in the cut off of the thumbnail page.

Hi everyone, i've been going to the gym for the past 14 months, mostly to spend my time and to keep my self mentally sane.
I'm a muscular guy (188cm height) I would say compared to other people going to the gym and I would like some advice on why am I not making progress like I am stuck at 16 kilos of biceps seated, for the past year and I cannot proceed to being able to lift 18 or 20kgs for biceps (not hammer curls, inclined biceps). As a side note, I have completely stopped eating junk food and pre-processed stuff.
Do you guys think there is a certain threshold that no matter how well you eat or how much you train you cannot naturally surpass it as in my case with the 16kg biceps? Am i wasting my time by trying to move to 18 kg or more? How would you approach this situation if you wanted to be able to lift 18kgs or even more?
Thanks

On the front and back cover of The Compendium of Secret Knowledge for DCC Lankhmar there are these cool Doug Kovacs NPC portraits with blank name and note sections. I was wondering if any other DCC products has similar unlabeled portraits or if there is a template somewhere?

--QUEST TO GET THE DELPHI PERK: "Splintered Past"--
Prerequisites:

• Prophet Mastery

Step 1: Starting the quest:

• When doing the Evacuation ending using the Prophet perk while retrieving the Gas masks from the Armory in the Agency Centre E6, you will find a metal crate inside labled "EX-119 PROJECT: OVERWATCH". Interacting with this crate triggers the quest and allows you to progress into the second step.

Step 2: Echoes of the Past
"You found this mysterious crate while getting supplies for the evacuation. Opening it reveals a strange piece of technology that reminds you of your Savant's Scanner, with various additions. Maybe you can repair this antiquated piece of tech?"

• Scan 150 Enemies
• Parry 50 enemy attacks

Completing the objective triggers an audio log:
"Data log retrived, starting now: Hello, this is Audio Log 1 of Project Overwatch, I am head researcher Stein along with AGENT 8Ball who is currently field testing my technology, we have currently finished testing the KALEIDOSCOPE Sensors along with the PEACEBREAKER Cuffs and proceeding with Phase Two of Project Overwatch, 8Ball how does the tech feel? To be honest Doc, It's just like my Savant's Scanner, just with some lethal touches to it. Alright, thanks for the input 8Ball, that's all for today. This is Head Researcher Stein, signing off."
Step 2: Splintered Bones
"Pre-Collapse tech based on the Savant's Scanner? Interesting. It's been repaired, although key components have yet to be found. The Scavengers are coming, you can hear them outside. A few more nights and you can be out of this hellhole."

• Survive for 5 Nights
• Kill 150 enemies using melee attacks

Completing the objective triggers an audio log:
"Data log retrieved, starting now: This is Head Researcher Stein again, Audio Log 15. 8Ball isn't present today, complained of some weird bug bite he got, which is strange since Eden doesn't have any insects. Anyways we managed to get testing completed on the PHYSICS Override Braces which effectively completes the Prototype model of the tech. On a personal side note, there has been more & more AGENTs deployed to deal with crowd control, apparently some scuffles and riots has been breaking out on Eden. I'm a little worried but it shouldn't be too bad, right? This is Head Researcher Stein, signing off."
Step 3: Shadows of Sorrow
"As you and your teammates head towards the Evacuation shuttle something is different. You can feel the piercing eyes of something staring at you from the storm..."

• Bring an end to the Past

At the last step of the Quest, the Raiders are replaced with Reikgon Cultists and you cannot leave until 8Ball, a Reikgon-converted AGENT is defeated. 8Ball has 1500 health and a 25% damage resistance, CQC training (Can dodge attacks) and will rush you with his melee attacks, so distance is important. Once he is defeated and the AGENTs evacuated, you are given the last audio log and the DELPHI perk
"Data log retrieved, starting now: This is probably my last audio log. For the record EDEN-227 should be considered lost. DO NOT SEND PEOPLE BACK HERE. All the AGENTs are dead, I'm the last one alive in this place. My friend 8Ball has changed an- LOG CORRUPTED"

Hello! I’ve searched the sub but don’t see any recent posts that specifically address this topic, so wanted to get some feedback from the community on pediatric allergists in Austin. One of my children has significant food allergies that we manage in consert with allergy and dermatology. I have some significant issues with the way our allergist approaches patient care (using blood testing and even skin testing as diagnostic, which is not the current gold standard) and how careless he and the office staff are (e.g. keeping inaccurate paper notes on conditions that include things my child doesn’t have).
Does anyone have a pediatric allergist they like? We are in Central Austin but willing to drive anywhere to find more progressive care. We’d love a practice that is open to food challenges as our child grows and likely outgrows at least some allergies.

Sicherheit Wartung Sortierung Replika (Security- Maintenance- Triage- Replica) S.W.S.R. Replika Gender: Male Generation: Gen 3 E-R-R Security Unit
Replika Frame: Lightweight Carbon Fibre Frame with minimal Biomechanical features (just the face and inside of torso), support built from stainless steel and has titanium reinforcement at the joints. SWSR units have dark brown hair that normally is unkempt or put in a very basic design with minimal effort attached, with standard blue eyes. They also sport a detachable body armor to improve the overall weight and speed of the unit along with helping keep them from personality degradation.
Height: 180.34 cm
Description: The Replika is used for first response when an emergency or breach in security occurs. As such they are designed to be faster and more lightweight than other Protektor units, albeit they are highly expendable.
Despite this, they seem to hold a very strong urge to stay alive. This also plays into their hierarchy amongst their own; as older or more grizzled units hold more dominance than newer or more inexperienced units. However in rare instances this can apply to the general hierarchy of a facility, though these cases are few and far between. They also have a tendency to individualise themselves by giving themselves a name, applying modifications, or settling on a distinct way of acting.
Due to the template having went from one job to the next, they also have a variety of skills that can help with the aftermath of a situation. “First to respond, last to die”
Known issues and handling: SWSR units due to the nature of their template have more resistance to personality degradation. While they aren’t completely immune to the issue, it is still highly recommended to keep them in a state to minimise the risk of personality degradation starting.
They generally get along well with most Gestalts and Replikas, though can get irritated or attack when they are nagged or harassed to a certain extent. Due to their unique nature of their programming, they work best in small groups (see Programming specifications) It is recommended to allow them access to things that can help them modify themselves to their own style. They also seem to latch onto personality traits from others and consumed media, so what entertainment they use their ration stamps should be kept under close watch. When a unit does realize that they are starting to degrade, they will normally try to exit the facility they are designated to and vanish somewhere that they cannot be found. If this occurs, sedate them by any means possible. Unfortunately, cases can arise where a unit when put under too much stress can snap without any prior cases of personality degradation.
The iconic example is the “Firebomb” incident; where a unit due to being pushed over the limit of what they can handle emotionally, was driven into a psychological breakdown and burned down 80% of the facility they were in. It also revealed a behaviour that became of note where when the Replika regained control of themselves, they fled the facility and have not been found since. Though that was a Gen 1 model, the point still stands that stopping them before they snap is a high priority.
The best way to keep them stable is to give them allowance to modify themselves (which also doubles as not needing to get a replacement as they generally can repair themselves) and some way to let them expend extra energy and negative emotions, usually a communal punching bag in their dorm works. Fetish items include: Music, a deck of cards, and some books (Music and books have to be checked as to what they are before they can be acquired)
Programming specifications: SWSR units are a test of adaptive models, meaning that it will decide the best course of action when a situation occurs. The best way to describe this is a basic A or B decision; it will choose the best option based on factors of what it can handle, the current situation, previous experiences that are similar, and other variables that may come into consideration. Now while most units do have a basic version of decision making, the adaptive software adds extra options and is more accurate.

Going to the doctor doesn't helps much, so they don't see anything wrong in you, the ones that did an MRI brain scan it doesn't shows up anything wrong too, but there's a much more specific type of brain scan which is called fMRI and it revealed in already 11 people that has been affected by Lion's Mane that it caused brain malfunction in the pallidum, dorsal striatum, and temporal lobe areas of the brain.
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY in the progress of understanding what this extremely dangerous substance is doing on some people.
​

fMRI is different from a normal MRI scan, which shows the structure of the brain. An MRI scan allows doctors to examine a patient's organs, tissue, or bones, while an fMRI looks at the function of the brain.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a type of MRI scan that shows which parts of the brain are active when a patient performs certain tasks. It uses a technique called blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast to evaluate blood flow in the brain. BOLD contrast detects changes in blood flow to metabolically active neurons instead of neural electrical activity.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures the small changes in blood flow that occur with brain activity. It may be used to examine which parts of the brain are handling critical functions, evaluate the effects of stroke or other disease, or to guide brain treatment. fMRI may detect abnormalities within the brain that cannot be found with other imaging techniques.

​
Note: If you undergo an fMRI and it reveals damage as well, it is important to share your results with* u/ciudadvenus *to raise awareness about the dangers of this substance, also, your anonymity will be respected if you wish to.

I'd like to think I know how to play over most chord changes and outlining the chord tones always sounds sweet to my ears however I have just one issue.
When I improv over G7, and especially on the song "All of Me", the notes never sound as sweet using the chord tones of G7 and when starting the diminished scale from the dom7(F note) it doesn't seem to invoke as much tension as the same tones over (A7, E7). Playing over G7 just doesn't sound as musical or intentional to my ears compared to playing over the other chords.
Is this normal for the voice leading of this particular chord progression, or is because of how the octaves are laid out on a guitar?

So long story short, I’m being bullied, and I’m super shy suffering from low self esteem and lack of self confidence, I BARLEY talk in school, and one of reasons (mainly) I get bullied is because I have ASD (autism spectrum disorder) it happens everyday it won’t stop.
I never speak to anyone because I’m too afraid. I think I’m inferior to everyone, almost everyone I can’t talk to is above me. The only times I talk is when I have to ask to use the bathroom/water fountain to the teachers, My voice is so quiet they have to stop teaching, walk over to my desk and bend down to hear me and raise their hand to their ear. They’ve gotten used to it as it’s been 3 years. (3 years in my school, not 3 years being shy, I’ve been like this since I was little.) I’m almost 15 years old.
I’ve told teachers about the bullying last year, they forgot. I told this year, they didn’t do anything at all.
I’ve told my friends, of course they won’t be able to do anything. I’ve told my mom, I guess she was concerned but didn’t think too much about it.
I have 2 autistic friends, I’ve asked my friends for help with social skills. They can’t teach me, they don’t know how, even said it themselves, I asked for help to them multiple times.
For the past 8 months, I’ve been trying to improve myself, growing self confidence, self esteem, social skills and more. Trying to not be afraid, mindfulness meditation, positive thinking/self talk, psychology notes, I’ve been doing a lot. I know how to initiate a conversation keep it going and blah blah blah, but I can’t do it IRL, yk why? Because I’m scared. I’ve prayed to Allah for help, it’s working, it’s progressing, I don’t want to say it won’t work because I trust Allah.
I’ve learned tips on how to be couragous and will power. But for some reason I’m just always too scared to do it. Too scared to speak, open my mouth, speak a normal volume voice, not speak softly and like a mouse.
A good thing is that when I have to read out loud, I speak loud and proud, with no worry? The whole room could hear me when I read out loud. A lot of people tell me on Reddit is that I could practice reading out loud more to make the shyness go away, but that’s not it. I only get scared when it’s about socializing. Practicing reading out loud more won’t help me. Trust me, I’ve tried it.
Edit: I know what courage is, courage is doing something despite the fear, I’m aware of that.

Hello everyone! I'm seeking 1-2 players to join a heavy roleplay play-by-post Curse of Strahd campaign in progress, replacing a player who is leaving the game.
We've been playing for five months, and the party is nearly level 4 and currently learning about the situation in Vallaki. They've completed the opening act in Barovia Village and received their fortunes from Madame Eva. The party makeup is a ranged archer ballerina and two brawny melee mages (one druid flavored, one wizard flavored).
This would be a great opportunity for someone to join who is already familiar with the start of the game, likely from a previous Curse of Strahd campaign that didn't finish. New characters should join the game with a backstory that has them already heavily motivated to defeat Strahd and motivated to cooperate with the party to do so. I don't want to fumble through a month of 'do I trust them?/do I really want to court this danger?', I'd rather jump right into the game!
Please note we are NOT using D&D 5e for this campaign. We're using my homebrew version of an existing system called D20 go, a narrative-first system that heavily de-emphasizes combat to facilitate the play-by-post format and put roleplay at the front and center. There are no spell slots, no combat resources, no damage dice. There are still rolls to determine the outcome of combat, but the action of combat is entirely narrative. If you prefer a crunchy game, this is not the CoS game for you.
Here's what I'm looking for:

• 21+ required, 25+ preferred (current player age range is 26-39)
  
• LGBTQ+ friendly required, LGBTQ+ applicants preferred (current players are all queer)
  
• Able to post at least 2-3 times a day, at least 5-6 days a week
  
• Able to commit to a game that may run for two years or more
  
• EST-friendly time zones (most of our players go to bed around 11pm EST)
  
• Willing to try a narrative-heavy non-D&D 5e system and able to get familiar with a new system in a quick and self-directed manner
  
• Quality of posts over post length, with emphasis on actions that drive the story forward (no passive riders, please)
  
• Curiosity about the setting, the NPCs, and the other PCs
  
• Mature, concise, literate style of writing
  
• Experienced writers with a talent for character voice
  
• Comfortable with sexual themes at the table (but no ERP)
  
• Willing to play a humanoid; no 'monster' PCs will be permitted (werewolves, vampire spawn, etc.)
  

Before applying, please read my original campaign recruitment post here: https://www.reddit.com/pbp/comments/1816woh/onlineotherasynclgbtqd20\_go\_seeking\_mature/

If you applied to the original post in December but want to be considered again, you must re-apply; apologies for the inconvenience! I'll update this post when I've chosen my player(s), but I cannot respond individually to everyone.

ok so the weirdest thing just happened to me. I’m not posting this because I think it’s not normal, or I need reassurance but I’m solely posting this because I GENUINELY want to see if anybody else has felt this or knows how it even happens. so obviously posting here, because I have anxiety, and for just a little background, I have emetophobia (fear of sick). so my phobia is still prevalent, i’m getting therapy for it but as far as my actual anxiety, I have not been getting panic or anxiety attacks like I used to, and they stopped. Now I’m just kind of getting general anxiety, sometimes it feels like it lingers but getting anxious and that leading to an actual attack has NOT happened for a year now. (I sometimes get waves of nausea, but it’s from indigestion and nerves lol).. so basically, I was just drawing in my living room, had a video on, and then I remember I had to go downstairs to tell a relative something. so I take my headphones off, pause the video and make my way downstairs. I arrive in the basement and I’m just standing up to tell somebody something, when all of a sudden I get this extremely weird feeling in my head. this may be extremely hard to explain so bear with me. You know that feeling when you’re low on iron, and you get up and you kind of see stars a little and you get that really really intense dizzy feeling? i’m sure you know what I’m talking about, I felt that, but it progressed extremely quickly, and it turned into the feeling you get right before you vomit. The same type of dizzy, feeling, feeling like you’re going to faint but it’s like this intense PRESSURE in your head, like it’s all happening at once. I also remember repeating “im gonna vomit it’s gonna happen” so i’m PRETTY sure impending doom had to do with it. It was also that doom-like feeling before you throw up, but it could’ve been the panic. Anyway, just clearly a crazy sensation. It’s really hard to explain but I’m sure somebody knows what I’m talking about. this literally hit me like a truck and came out of absolutely NOWHERE. It felt way more in my head, like physical. so of course I start feeling like i’m gonna throw up, which most definitely correlates to the phobia. I kid you not when I say it’s something I’ve never ever felt before, and I want to know if this was real panic. I also want to note that I am a little low on iron, so basically it was like that low iron sensation just kind of hit me, but then it progressed into what I just explained. Basically. I’m just confused. The funny thing is, though, is it lasted a few seconds? And I actually laughed it off. It’s like nothing ever happened. It’s the weirdest thing I think ever happened to me and I wanna know if anybody else has ever felt this. can anxiety/stress/panic cause these weird incidents?
I definitely still feel off, like something just happened,

Hi Everyone, I'm probably going to have a bunch of follow-up questions, so I appreciate everyone's help in advance, but for now, I'm going to try and keep it as simple as possible. I think I should be able to work out the other steps if I can just get past the first hurdle. Teach a fellow to fish, and all that.
Unfortunately, I can't upload sample data because the data is sensitive, so I'm going to use a made up example to help explain where necessary.
The End Goal: I am creating a metrics dashboard to display how well we are progressing towards our annual goals. I have one table with the metrics listed, along with the 2024 goal for each metric (numeric values). We'll call this the Metrics table. I also have two tables combined which contains all the data used to calculate the 'Actuals'. We'll call this the Data table. There are no fields that join the 'Metrics' table with the 'Data' table. I plan to create a dual-axis bar graph which shows Actuals vs Goals.
Since there are no matching fields between the Data table and the Metrics table, I plan to create a calculated field for each of the individual metrics, using data from the Data table. I will then create a calculated field named "Actuals" which will contain a series of IF statements based on the metric name. i.e., IF [Metrics].[Metric] = "Metric 1" THEN [Data].[Metric 1] ELSEIF [Metrics].[Metrics] = "Metric 2" THEN [Data].[Metric 2], and so on and so forth.
The issue I'm having is creating the calculated fields for each metric...
An Explanation of the Dataset: Let's say my data is about the delivery of fruit and vegetables. The two tables combined to make the 'Data' table are a 'Delivery Stats' table and a 'Metadata' table. The 'Delivery Stats' table lists the fruits and vegetables delivered, the date, the quantity delivered, the quantity that are rotten, and the % that are rotten. The 'Metadata' table lists every fruit and vegetable that we have ever ordered, and then lists the features of each fruit/vegetable. e.g., if it's a fruit or a vegetable, the colour, the country of origin, etc. Note: each fruit/vegetable is only listed once in the Metadata table, as the metadata is static.
The last piece of the puzzle is that I have a 'Metric Date' which is a calculated field. It shows the last available date from the previous month, based on the data available. So within my dataset, that date is March 29. The reason I am using a calculated field is so that the date can be dynamic based on the data available.
Where I'm Stuck: My first metric is 'Number of Red Fruit/Vegetables'. So I want to do a simple count of the number of rows where the Colour is listed as 'Red', but only on the Metric Date (i.e., March 29). And this is where I'm getting stumped.
I can create a table where I have Date and Colour in the rows, and then Total Fruit in the Marks, but what I need to do is create a calculated field that shows only the count of red fruits and only on the 'Metrics Date'.
What I've Done So Far: I created a binary calculated field called "Red" which uses IF logic to assign a 1 or a 0 to each row:
IIF([Colour]="Red",1,0)
I then created the 'Number of Red Fruit/Vegetables' calculated field which uses IF logic to SUM the "Red" column when the Date = the Metric Date:
IF [Date] = [Metrics Date] THEN [Red] END
But it's throwing out a number that's way higher than it should be. (It should be 224, but I'm getting 1,120). I can't work out what it's doing to get the higher count.
I think a large part of my struggle is because I'm still stuck in the Excel mindset of using a "COUNTIFS" function to get the total. I just can't for the life of me figure out how to do the same in Tableau.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read all this and can offer some guidance.
TL;DR: How to I create a calculated field that spits out a single count of all the records where the data meets multiple criteria located across multiple fields?
