The latest BOSS podcast episode features Dr. Jill Clark, with a truly inspiring story. She had her dream job as a colorectal surgeon in a beautiful city, respected by her peers. But under the surface, she felt a growing discontent—one that she tried to ignore until life forced her to listen. Between the pandemic, a breast cancer diagnosis, and an unraveling work environment, Jill felt like a hurricane leveled her life. What happened next wasn't just a recovery—it was a reinvention. In this episode, you'll learn: How to recognize red flags that your job may not be the right fit Why “quitting” can be a sign of strength, not failure The value of a "challenge network" and coaching when navigating change How to get clear on what you want—and ensure a “want match” before accepting your next position Dr. Clark's honesty is refreshing, her insight is hard-won, and her story is exactly what so many surgeons need to hear right now.Find me at: https://www.centeredsurgeon.com/Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillclarkmd/

Vuonna 1993 julkaistu Doom mullisti tietokonepelaamisen ja naulasi kolmiuloitteiset ensimmäisen persoonan räiskinnät maailman keskeisimmäksi pelityypiksi. Doom nosti yhdysvaltalaiset pelisuunnittelijat, John Romeron ja John Carmackin alan supertähdiksi ja heidän perustamansa Id Softwaren yhdeksi kaikkien aikojen merkittävimmäksi pelitaloksi. Mars-planeetan pinnalle tulevaisuuteen sijoittuvassa tarinassa pelataan ainoalla hengissä olevalla ihmissotilaalla, joka pyrkii selviytymään mm. haulikon ja moottorisahan avulla helvetistä teleporttaavien hirviölaumojen keskuudessa. Miten ensimmäisen persoonan ammuskelupelien ehdoton uranuurtaja näkyy ja tuntuu tänä päivänä, ja millainen on ollut sen kulttuurillinen vaikutus? Viimeisin Doom: The Dark Ages -peli julkaistiin juuri, ja sen pelattavuutta sekä intensiteettiä on kiitelty peliarvosteluissa. Miten modernisoidut versiot Doomista toimivat, ja miksi pelisarja on pysynyt edelleen relevanttina? Miksi juuri Doomista tuli niin keskeinen peli, että se on siinnyt kokonaisen pelien sarjan ja monia muitakin kulttuurituotteita? Miten Doom ja Id Softwaren myöhempi peli Quake vaikuttivat e-urheiluun ja siihen, millaiseksi pelikulttuuri on muodostunut? Miksi alkuperäisen Doomin ympärillä on edelleen vahva yhteisö, joka luo uusia kenttiä pelattavaksi vanhalle pelimoottorille? Vieraina pelitoimittaja Johannes Valkola, runoilija Aura Nurmi sekä pelisuunnittelija Juho Kuorikoski. Juhani Kenttämaa toimittaa.

You start with a standard 52-card deck and aim to score enough "chips" by playing valid poker hands (like flushes, straights, full houses, etc.) to clear increasingly difficult "blinds" (rounds).Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a fast-paced, single-player first-person shooter that takes inspiration from classic '90s "boomer shooters" like Doom and Quake. You play as a battle-hardened Space Marine, Malum Caedo, on a mission from the Inquisition to cleanse a Forge World overrun by Chaos Space Marines and daemons.Ark: Survival Ascended is a next-generation remaster of the popular survival game, Ark: Survival Evolved. Built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, it offers significantly enhanced graphics, including dynamic global illumination and advanced physics systems that bring the prehistoric world to life.

Batman Ninja Vs Yakuza League When it came out in 2018, Batman Ninja may not have been our cup of green tea, in fact it was definitely NOT. But is this sequel many years in the making, more to our tastes? Or has it gone off like sushi in the sun? It's Batman as a Ninja, with his Bat-boys in tow, going up against not the Justice League, but the Yakuza League... yes Yakuza League. It's much easier if you don't try to have it make sense. Just let the weird wash over you...

In this unfiltered episode of the Underground Lounge, Lou Williams and Spank Horton are joined by one of the most respected names in comedy, Earthquake. From the moment he hits the couch, Quake dives into the journey that brought him from D.C. to the national stage, including how the military prepared him for stand-up, why he founded Uptown Comedy Corner, and what it really means to build your own lane in a game that doesn't always open doors for you.Earthquake reflects on the changing landscape of comedy, from social media sensations skipping the stage grind, to how the industry has moved away from loyalty, development deals, and originality. He shares his advice for up-and-comers, why hitting the stage still matters, and how being authentic is the only real blueprint to longevity. The conversation takes a deeper turn as Quake speaks on industry beefs, keeping it real offstage, and why he's not here for the back-and-forth.Lou and Spank also dig into Earthquake's views on cancel culture, the pressure to constantly deliver as a comedian, and how he deals with people stealing his material. Along the way, they trade war stories about bombing on stage, growing as performers, and balancing family life with life on the road.From gems on comedy game politics to side-splitting stories about self-checkout theft, embarrassing hookups, and playing second fiddle to borrowed jokes, this episode is filled with laughter, insight, and hard-earned wisdom. Whether you're a comedy fan, aspiring comic, or just someone who respects the hustle, this one's packed with real talk from a real one.

The Dukes get ready to rip and tear through another set of video games news and releases! Joining us is honorary Duke, Gene Park, to talk about the latest game out of iD Software in DOOM: The Dark Ages. It's the third entry in iD's modern reboot of the franchise and, as always, they've taken a new approach to things. DOOM: The Dark Ages places a shield in your hands and asks you to "stand and fight." How does this feel in comparison to DOOM Eternal's lightning fast combat or the more deliberate nature of DOOM 2016? It finds itself in the middle as all three Dukes have different takes on this one. Its combat, story, enemy variety, pacing, traversal, level design. All of them speak to us (or not) in ways that really highlight this isn't iD's best DOOM, but it's not their worst. It finds itself in the middle and, by the finale, feels like the series has run out of gas. So, what does this team of talented FPS developers do next? Is it time for Quake? Naturally, we discuss all of that and much more.Please keep in mind that our timestamps are approximate, and will often be slightly off due to dynamic ad placement. 0:00:00 - Intro0:16:50 - Health is Wealth0:31:02 - GTA 6 Update0:34:38 - Should Xbox have held the Gears announcement?0:48:15 - Fallout Season 2 drops in December1:00:06 - DOOM: The Dark Ages physical copy debacle1:10:28 - Oblivion Remastered's continuous issues1:23:26 - Xbox returning to back compat focus?1:37:54 - GTA IV Remaster inbound?1:46:43 - Mafia: The Old Country release date and pricing1:54:21 - Will Borderlands 4 jump for $80?2:07:47 - Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra has been delayed to 20262:11:09 - Capcom is doing better than we understand2:21:09 - Square Enix's rough financials2:30:39 - Warner Bros Games revenue is in the tubes2:32:13 - Doom: The Dark Ages3:33:16 - What We're Playing4:00:05 - Game Pass Pick Of The Week Learn more about your ad choices.

The quake also triggered avalanches on Mount Everest that claimed the lives of 22 hikers. A decade later, the nation is still rebuilding, with fresh solutions to protect lives in the event of future quakes. FRANCE 24's Navodita Kumari and Nabeel Ahmed report.

One moment they were in their apartment building. The next they were under it. Ninety people were trapped when a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar suddenly leveled their building.Fifty Myanmar children went to preschool that day. At least a dozen died there in the sudden collapse of their school. One doctor in Mandalay said: "Wherever I looked, I saw collapsed buildings. Only dust." It's a tragedy that's almost incomprehensible. Especially when some scientists are estimating the death toll could even go to 10,000. Not numbers. Somebody's son or daughter. Husband or wife. Mom or dad. In spite of the ferocity of the quake, many did not have to die. As one expert explained, building codes in this quake-prone area "fail to fully consider earthquake resistance measures." In other words, unlike places like Japan, structures are not built to withstand the shock of a major quake. It's not just buildings with that kind of vulnerability. It's people. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "What the Quake Can't Take." Cancer. Stroke. Heart attack. The death of a child. Or, like me, the death of the love of your life. It's just been a litany of loss lately among friends and acquaintances. Bad news from the doctor. Financial collapse. A devastating fire or storm. The collapse of a marriage. Mental health and anxiety issues are off the charts. It's like we're all living in a quake prone zone. The question is not, "Will there be a lifequake?" The question is, "Is what I'm building my life on strong enough to withstand the trauma that shakes everything in my world?" So many things we live for... we depend on... our "go to's" fail us when the quake hits. We look around and there's "only dust." What is there that the quake can't take? That's something the Biblical psalmist addresses when he wrote these words in our word for today from the Word of God in Psalm 46: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though the waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with surging... Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall". He's saying here that literally, everything is collapsing. But listen... "The Lord Almighty is with us." A ship in a storm can be tossed around violently. But the anchor holds. Mine did nine years ago next month. It shook my world like nothing else ever could. The Great Quake - death - suddenly took my Karen, the love of my life since I was 19. But there's something it couldn't take. My personal relationship with the only Person who ever beat death. The one man who walked out of His grave under His own power. Jesus. The Christ. The Son of God. Yes, the one who promised to love me "til death do us part" kept her promise. But death did us part. But, in the words of Scripture, "Nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 8:39). It's the love we saw poured out for our sins on the day we call Good Friday. A love that didn't turn its back then. A love that never will. Millions of people for two thousand years have anchored their life to this Jesus, and found that "we have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19). It seems appropriate that on that morning we call Easter the Bible says, "there was a violent earthquake" at the tomb of Jesus. For that is the day He walked out of that grave to conquer the Great Quake of death. Listen, if you want to be sure you belong to Him in an uncertain world, our website is there to help you begin a relationship with Him. Would you go there today? It's ANewStory.com. Someday I will face the Great Quake. But not alone. For, as the Bible says, "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For YOU are with me!" (Psalm 23:4)

In Myanmar, the official death toll continues to climb three days after a devastating earthquake, but still reflects only a fraction of the number of deaths estimated by the United States Geological Survey. The challenges are now compounded by the country's civil war, as government forces launch air strikes against resistance fighters near the epicenter of the quake. Also, French far-right politician Marine Le Pen has been convicted of embezzlement, and barred from seeking public office for five years. And, we look at results from the weekend's Figure Skating World Championships.Listen to today's Music Heard on Air. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

At least 1,600 people have died in the earthquake in Myanmar. Meanwhile, the UN Special Rapporteur on Myanmar has condemned the military government's continued attacks in areas controlled by ethnic rebel groups. Tom Andrews told Newshour at least three airstrikes were carried out in the Sagaing region - the epicentre of the quake and a rebel stronghold. He called on the ruling junta to stop. Also in the programme: Hundreds of thousands of Turks have attended a rally in Istanbul in support of the city's jailed former mayor; and why did a Polish presidential candidate appear on TV in disguise?
