Ivana Alfonso has worked many jobs since emigrating from Croatia at a young age. Coming out of the pandemic in 2020, Ivana's husband, a keen angler, found himself selling brag mats and making a considerable profit. Ivana and her husband saw potential, and a way to entertain themselves when self-isolation was the norm. They combined their respective knowledge and skills to create The Bragmat Bloke, a thriving company that offers customers customizable brag mat that reflect the best of design, craftsmanship and reflect a shared love of the outdoors. But with the Australian economy tightening, Ivana is feeling the strain like so many small business owners fighting against a wealth of challenges.My team and I have been paying attention, and one thing is clear - you want to hear from businesses beyond Sydney, not just the success stories, but especially those facing real challenges.That's why we're launching The Small Business Callout under The Mentor channel-giving business owners across the country a voice. In between The Mentor episodes, we'll hear what's working, what's not, and what real support from the government should look like.

Before narrative arcs, there was Acererak." Dive into Tomb of Horrors Part II and uncover how D&D's most infamous deathtrap shaped the game we love (and sometimes fear). In Part II of the RPGBOT.Podcast's deep dive into Tomb of Horrors, the hosts examine the legendary module not just as a harrowing dungeon crawl, but as a historical artifact that reflects the design philosophies, challenges, and mindset of early Dungeons & Dragons. The discussion unpacks how Tomb of Horrors shaped player expectations, influenced dungeon design, and helped define the adversarial relationship between dungeon masters and players in early editions. The episode also explores how Gary Gygax's approach to game balance, storytelling, and player mortality in Tomb of Horrors laid the groundwork for decades of D&D design choices—both embraced and rejected by later generations.

142:1 I cry aloud with my voice to the LORD-  “The synonymous parallelism repeats the phrase ‘with my voice' to emphasize that he cries aloud” Miller, 435. “In Psalm 142:1 is za'aq,  conveys the idea of crying out in acute distress and seeking deliverance. The verbal root occurs only five times in the Psalter, twice in Psalm 142” NICOT, 978. “Although the Hebrew root translated ‘cry' in vv. 1, 5 does not occur often in the psalms (see Pss. 22:5; 107:13, 19), it is an important theological word. For instance, it recalls the exodus (see Exod. 2:23); it is a crucial part of the pattern in the book of Judges (see Judg. 3:9, 15; 6:6-7); indeed, it became understood as a typical element in God's dealing with God's people (see Neh. 9:28)” McCann, 1247. “To make supplication is to appeal to kindness (so the Hebrew word suggests)” Kidner, 473. 142:2 I pour out my complaint before Him- The six Hebrew words that make up this verse are a chiasm. pour out is used in 42:4; 62:8. The word before Him twice in vs. 2. The word complaint is used in Pss. 55:2; 64:1; 102:1 (heading); 104:34.I declare my trouble before Him- Trouble is used in parallelism with complaint. This word appears in 77:2; 86:7.142:3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me- Faint or overwhelmed is used in Ps. 61:2; 77:3; 143:4; Jonah 2:7. The word is used twice in Gen. 30:42 for the feeble among the flocks becoming Laban's. “He is at his wit's end and does not know how to pray adequately” Miller, 435. “He describes his emotional state as his spirit growing faint, probably referring to deep disappointment or depression” Longman, 461. You knew my path- The you is emphatic. Knew in Ps. 1:6; 139:1-4. He finds comfort that God understands. “His only help in this time of distress is God, who watches over his life” Longman, 461. They have hidden a trap for me- Trap lead for him in 140:5; 141:9-10.142:4 Look to the right and see- “To the right suggests the place where a helper would stand (cf. 16:8; 109:31; 110:5; 121:5)” Miller, 435.  “The right was the place where the witness for the defense stood (109:31)” Allen, 276. No one cares for my soul- “David was completely helpless before his enemies and no one seemed to care for his life” BK, 894. II Tim. 4:17 “He stands alone” Laymen's, 697. “On the horizontal plane he stands alone” Allen, 279. “God hears persons whom nobody else bothers to hear, and that God cares for those whom nobody else appears to care for (v. 4d)” McCann, 1248.142:5 I cried to You, O LORD- 140:6 I said, ‘You are my refuge- Ps. 14:6; 46:1; 61:3; 62:7, 8; 71:7; 73:28; 91:2, 9; 94:22; 104:18; 142:5; Isa. 4:6; 25:4.My portion in the land of the living'- “Claiming Yahweh as my portion in the land of the living is particularly associated with the Levites (Num. 18:20; Deut. 10:9)” Broyles, 495. “The land of the living is opposite of Sheol, the place of the dead (cff. Pss. 27:13; 52:5; 116:9)” Miller, 435. 142:6 For I am brought very low- brought low in Judges 6:6; Ps. 79:8; 116:6. For they are too strong for me- Ps. 79:8 God is big enough to defeat every foe. 142:7 Bring my soul out of prison- Isa. 42:7; Ps. 102:20; 107:10. God can deliver us from every bondage. “He pleads his weakness and implicitly confesses God's sovereign power” Laymen's 697. So that I may give thanks to Your name- 18:49; 20:1; 140:13 “The psalm-singer

Working with Skippy 2 taught me he wasn't always listening like he indicated. I learned to check everything, no matter how confident he understood what was needed. Our God is faithful; he does what He says.He tells us:"Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,"Luke 18:1How, though, does prayer keep us from losing heart or fainting?When we trust Him when He says:"Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."Psalm 46:10And:"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.." Proverbs 3:5Our Meditation:When we commune with God, we pour out our supplications, we do so continually. Luke 18 one, and we cease our own efforts, Psalm 46 10, and we acknowledge him trusting that he is taking us the way we need to go Proverbs 3:5-6Brethren, let us pray for one another to overcome the weakness of the flesh through prayer.

Syncope (SINK-a-pee) is a clinical word for fainting or passing out. Many people may faint or feel faint once or twice in their lives, and there are several minor triggers for it. But in some cases, it's a sign of a heart issue, such as an abnormal heart rhythm or heart valve issue.Electrophysiologist Dr. Manoj Duggal (MAHN-oage DOO-gle) will discuss what happens when a person experiences syncope, what may be causing it, and why it's important to identify the cause.

Ambassador Wendy Sherman, the 21st U.S. Deputy Secretary of State and the first woman in that position, has been a diplomat, businesswoman, professor, political strategist, author, and social worker. She served under three presidents and five secretaries of state, becoming known as a diplomat for hard conversations in hard places. As Deputy Secretary, she was the point person on China. While serving as Undersecretary for Political Affairs, Sherman led the U.S. negotiating team that reached an agreement on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action between the P5+1, the European Union and Iran.  And, as Counselor at the State Department, she led on North Korea and was engaged on Middle East negotiations. For her diplomatic accomplishments she was awarded the National Security Medal by President Barack Obama. At Harvard Kennedy School, she was a professor of the practice of public leadership, director of the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School (where she is now a Hauser Leadership Fellow), and a current and former Senior Fellow at the School's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. In 2002, along with former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Sherman built a global consulting business, The Albright Group. Sherman previously served on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, chaired Oxfam America's Board of Directors, served on the U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Policy Board, and was Director of Child Welfare for the State of Maryland. She is the author of the book: “Not for the Faint of Heart: Lessons in Courage, Power and Persistence.” Sherman attended Smith College and received a B.A. cum laude from Boston University and a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland. Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Communications and Public Affairs is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

Episode 101: "I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, / if you find my lover— / What shall you tell him?— / that I am faint with love." – Song of Songs 5:8---How is author and host Julia Monnin* really doing as she finds her way in the heart of her husband's journey with cancer? Tune in to this episode to find out! In addition to talking briefly about the "Fruitless Search" of the bride we read about in the Song of Songs 5:2–8, Julia also shares with listeners what's going on in her "now" as she takes a look back at what was going on in her "then" when she wrote Reflection #361 which is found in her book ⁠⁠The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: Volume II⁠⁠. ---"Labor has stalled, and the end I was about to take hold of (spiritually, emotionally, and physically) has slipped through my hands. Yes, when I woke this morning only to realize that this child is still indeed in my womb instead of my arms, the temptation to let the darkness, despair, and defeat creep back in reappeared. Then grace showed up. And the rest, as they say, is history." (from Reflection #361, "Smiling in the Face of Pain")---⁠⁠theworldisnoisy.com⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠journeysrevealed.com

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITStories that make you question humanity sit alongside glimpses of political surprise in today's exploration of headlines that shocked, disturbed, and intrigued me.We begin with a genuinely horrifying account from Orlando International Airport where a traveler, denied boarding with her dog due to improper documentation, allegedly took the unthinkable step of drowning her pet in an airport bathroom rather than missing her flight. The subsequent arrest and minimal $5,000 bond raise serious questions about how our justice system values animal lives.The journey continues to Antarctica, where nine researchers find themselves in a real-life horror scenario. Trapped until December at a remote station with a colleague who reportedly became violent and threatening shortly after arrival, these team members face months of isolation alongside someone who has allegedly assaulted and sexually harassed them. Most disturbing? Authorities apparently knew of warning signs before the expedition departed yet sent the troubled individual anyway.On a more unexpected note, we examine Senator John Fetterman's recent meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. Staying true to form, Fetterman arrived in his signature Carhartt hoodie and received a unique gift: a silver-plated replica of the pagers used in Israel's operations against Hezbollah. As a Democrat who strongly supports Israel, Fetterman stands as something of a political anomaly.The episode concludes with a provocative question about gender roles in extreme environments. Should certain isolated or high-stress missions maintain single-gender crews? Where do we draw lines around gendered work in space exploration, polar research, or military combat? Your perspectives welcome—share your thoughts on work environments where traditional gender segregation might still make sense.

You might have seen someone faint in a movie. It usually happens after they see something shocking. They close their eyes and suddenly fall to the ground. In real life, people faint for many different reasons, not just shock. We asked pediatrician Dr. Wendy Hunter to tell us more about fainting.Got a question that's shockingly hard to answer? Send it to BrainsOn.org/contact, and we'll find a swoon worthy explanation!

An inventor of a memory management device realizes his invention is showing him a memory he hasn't experienced, a dangerous memory. Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction   Excerpt: “Memories are unreliable…” Max paused, hesitated actually. He'd rehearsed aloud what he was going to say so many times— despite not needing to remember the words— that he'd fooled himself into believing it all sounded reasonable. But now, he was about to say the words out loud to another person, the most critical person he could possibly tell his truth to..   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. This story is inspired by the Season 4 episode, "My Homunculus Is Malfunctioning." I am again revisiting a theme or idea rather than the specifics of a previous story. Inventions, even when they do what they are invented and expected to do, sometimes have unintended effects. Some of those effects may be minor. Some major. The stakes get even higher when that invention is meant to directly affect the human body.  And trickier when the part of the human body they affect is the mind.    MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

Hear his stories about NYC/NY in the late '80s and early '90s, raving at NASA and Sound Factory Bar, getting up with Constipated Monkeys, having bff adventures with Armand Van Helden and dancing on The Grind, plus tales of all the amazing records that have influenced him along the way.

Welcome back to Not For the Faint! On this episode, Alyssa covers the case of Kelsey Berreth, a young mom who went missing on Thanksgiving Day in 2018. Kelsey was last seen shopping with her daughter, and what initially seemed like a disappearance quickly turned into a homicide investigation. Alyssa dives into the details of how her fiancé, Patrick Frazee, orchestrated her brutal murder in a twisted attempt to take custody of their daughter. Afterwards, Summer takes us back to 1969 to talk about the mysterious murder of Reet Jurvetson, a young woman whose life came to a tragic end near Mulholland Drive. For decades, no one even knew her name. Summer walks us through the heartbreaking story, the decades-long search for answers, and the moment when Reet's identity was finally uncovered.

Get it? Combining two of the stories into one relevant title?  ----- A pregnant law student sought modest accommodations when finals came over her due date. The school rejected the request saying, "Motherhood is not for the Faint of Heart." It did not go over well with fellow students. Or alumni. Or faculty. Or pretty much anyone. Drake accused the music industry of conspiring to help Kendrick demolish him in rap battle. RICO claims? They really not like us. Finally, Jonathan Turley accused liberal rage for the disturbing swatting attack he suffered. When his theory of the case turned out to be... wildly and completely wrong, he took a swipe at Joe. And missed.
