Chris Mack and the crew reveal the top seeds in the tournament they trust the MOST and least!
It moved towards Antistrophe, Caoimhe, and Nicky through the dark as something other than itself. A creature of guile and hunger, whose taste for life is well developed and whose limbs are the limbs of others. Meanwhile, amidst the revelers of the High Masque, the moonlit wing's adventurers mix and mingle. Will they try to puzzle their way through the rhyming door, or sate themselves on delicacies and dances instead of dungeoneering… This week on Perpetua: The Castle Eschatonica 05 Perpetua Guide [Community Addendum Part 03] What's up every-freakin-body. It's THEUNFORGIVENIII and I decided to pick up on Nei's slack. Maybe he'll see what a good job I'm doing and come back to try to one up me. Then the real rivalry will begin… Anyway, it's boss fight time. I made a few updates to Nei's format. I KNOW that he says he doesn't wanna get some specific spoilers in these enemy rundowns but I think that's pretty fuggin lazy. Maybe you can learn a few things from a real gamer, Nei. (bcuz i KNOW you're secretly reading along) Strange Hornet [NMSH] LEVEL: 10 RANK: SOLDIER TYPE: BRUTE TRAITS: CORPSE, PUPPETTED, UNDEAD STATS: DEX 8, INS 6, MIG 10, WLP 8 DEF: 8 MAGDEF: 6 HP: 70 MP: 45 INITIATIVE: 7 ATTACKS Buzzing Bash: Melee, [MIG + MIG], [HR + 10] PHYSICAL DAMAGE Stinger Shot: Ranged, [DEX + MIG], [HR + 5] PHYSICAL DAMAGE SPECIAL ABILITIES Brute: +1 to all accuracy and magical accuracy rolls Just a Puppet: "When the strange Hornet is reduced to 0 Hit Points for the first time, it is instead reduced to exactly 1 Hit Point and Malathornia, Wicked Weaver is revealed." ELEMENTAL INFO: Vulnerable to Fire and Light IN-GAME DESCRIPTION: It's moving weird… EXPERT INFO: If you think "we're really kicking this guy's ass, this must be a fakeout," then you're at least a class B Gamer. Because the second you beat this guy into the ground, the real boss shows up! PROTIP: REMEMBER: BECAUSE THIS GUY COUNTS AS UNDEAD, YOU CAN HURT HIM WITH HEALING SPELLS! (BUT BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE ALL SPELLS ONLY HEAL HALF DAMAGE INSIDE OF REDOLENCIA CELESTIAL ECHOES) Malathornia, Wicked Weaver [NMML] LEVEL: 10 RANK: CHAMPION (3) TYPE: SABOTEUR TRAITS: CONNIVING, MANIPULATIVE, CRAVEN, AMBITIOUS (SOUNDS LIKE MY STEP-DAD ROFL) STATS: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 8, WLP 8 (BORING) DEF: 10 MAGDEF: 9 HP: 180 MP: 100 INITIATIVE: 11 ATTACKS Thieving Webs: Ranged, [DEX + WLP] + 4, [HR + 5] PHYSICAL DAMAGE - MULTI 2 - EACH TARGET HIT BY THIS ATTACK LOSES 1 IP Enervating Claws: Melee, [DEX + WLP] +4, [HR + 5] DARK DAMAGE - EACH TARGET HIT BY THIS ATTACK IS WEAKENED.

Enemies cannot see Malathornia unless half or more of the Pursuit Clock's sections are filled. Back to the Shadows: Malathornia skitters back into the shadows of the Ruined Hive. Remove up to 2 marks from the pursuit clock. Malathornia's Marionette: Malathornia spends 20 MP and chooses a target suffering from Weakened. Malathornia's webs puppet the target, forcing them to immediately perform a free attack with an equipped weapon or basic attack against a target chosen by this NPC. ELEMENTAL INFO: Resistant to Physical (YIKES) and Dark. Vulnerable to Light. IN-GAME DESCRIPTION: Ruiner of the Old Hive. Master of the Shadows. EXPERT INFO: This is the only "real" boss you can fight in this first part of the dungeon, but personally, I think he's a chump. Just use Caoimhe's light attacks to demolish this freak. (if you didn't Give Caoimhe light spells yet, then that's on you!) PROTIP: REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN USE ITEMS FOR EXTRA HEALING IF YOU NEED IT (LIKE IF YOU'RE A NOOB).

The most intense bombing of Iran by the US and Israel has been taking place in the capital, Tehran, a city of roughly 10 million people living in dense areas. In wars, the most vulnerable among the population end up bearing the brunt of the conflicts — children, the elderly, those with disabilities. Also, a documentary about the little-known US occupation of Haiti. And, Asians are among thousands of immigrants swept up in the Trump administration's deportation campaign, but many have not come forward with stories of being targeted by federal agents. Plus, a look at the international productions that make up nearly half of all the films nominated for Oscars this year. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
In this insightful episode, host Ashish Kothari sits down with Eleanor Allen—a powerhouse leader who has navigated the peaks of the engineering world, led global social impact as the CEO of Water for People, and served as CEO of B Lab. Eleanor shares her "accidental" discovery of inner development and how moving from a rigid, "controlled" masculine leadership style to one of vulnerability and radical self-awareness transformed not just her life, but her global organization. This conversation is a must-listen for leaders who feel they must carry the world on their shoulders and are looking for a more sustainable, joyful, and high-performance way to lead.Main Topics CoveredThe Leader's Mirror: Why an organization's state of being is a direct reflection of its leader's personal flourishing.The Engineer's Armor: Eleanor's journey from a "got all the answers" professional upbringing to embracing vulnerability.Leading Through Crisis: How the lack of a "COVID playbook" forced a shift toward asking for help and experimenting.Head, Heart, and Plate: A simple, powerful meeting ritual to build connective tissue and psychological safety in teams.The Drama Triangle & Responsibility: Understanding your share of responsibility in workplace conflict.For-Profit vs. Non-Profit Flourishing: Common drivers and unique stressors (like the "philanthropy myth") in different sectors.The Flourishing Leader Summit: A preview of the upcoming Denver/Boulder intensive on April 29th.Key TakeawaysSelf-Care is Organizational Care: Leaders stuck in "survival mode" cannot create thriving ecosystems; your personal well-being is a strategic priority, not an indulgence.Vulnerability is a Catalyst: Admitting you don't have the answers during uncertain times invites the team to step up, innovate, and co-create solutions.Mattering and Appreciation: The universal need to feel valued is often the simplest and most effective lever for increasing engagement in any sector.Measure What Matters: Move beyond superficial "wellness perks" and start measuring root causes like absenteeism, financial stress, and psychological safety.The Power of Slower: Being "calmer" and more intentional in decision-making leads to better outcomes and more trusting team dynamics.
The Good News for the 4th Week of Lent is Protection and Care for the Vulnerable, rooted in two amazing passages...the Law of Moses, found in Deuteronomy, and that Law lived out in practical action, demonstrated by Jesus blessing the children in the Gospel of Matthew. These are not mere children's stories, but the commitment of God to those most in need...will we follow in that path?

More than 23 million people are in recovery or have recovered from SUD. Stigma associated with recovery needs to decline as the number of people in recovery increases. Recovery is possible, and it's probable. Poison Prevention Educators talk to students and communities about substance abuse prevention. Opioid use disorder has many possible entry points, including using pain killers from surgery or dental work, experimentation, and accidental use. Pharmacists have the opportunity to counsel on proper use and storage of MOUD. Counsel to take oral doses in private, so vulnerable individuals cannot see. Vulnerable individuals, like children or DD adults want to imitate the behavior of others. Avoid medication errors. Remove distractions while taking or giving medications, and read the label every time. Keep a personal MAR, if needed, to remember if a dose has been taken. If a medication error happens, get help (Poison Help or 9-1-1), forgive yourself, and continue your road to recovery. Narcan is import for anyone in recovery from opioid addiction to have. But, a person experiencing an OD will be unable to give themselves Narcan. Make sure your patients educate the people around them about what Narcan is, when to use it, and how to administer it. As a general rule, counsel on calling 9-1-1 after giving a dose of Narcan. It can wear off. Pharmacists should counsel on risks of keeping MOUD in the home: accidental use by a curious, opioid-naive child, confusion with other meds, accidental second dose, etc. Call Poison Help right away with exposure concerns, but skip right to 9-1-1 if the person is not breathing, unconscious, or having a seizure. Poison Center Staff are experts in poison information. They help healthcare professionals and the general public with questions. If you call, you're in good hands. Adults of all ages may be in recovery. It's not just a health condition for young people. Get Poison Help Line magnets for your pharmacy, and share them with your patients. If you need some magnets, call 1-800-222-1222. March is Poison Prevention Month in the United States. National Poison Prevention Week in the US is March 15-21, 2026, and the theme is, "When the unexpected happens, Poison Help is here for you." There is a partner toolkit with images and talking points on https://piper.filecamp.com/s/i/OOt8k1JlBFCc08KH A complete health history is important. Ask about recovery. Include "in recovery from opioid addiction" as a health condition at the pharmacy and with medical providers. Advise patients to inscribe, "Do not give opioids" on medic alert jewelry. Similar advice, advise patient to include "do not give opioids" in the "health app" on their smartphone in case of emergency. Pharmacists (this is a tough one). If you see something, say something. Protect your patient's recovery. If something on your prescription monitoring program suggests that your patient is in recovery, but they are trying to fill prescriptions for opioids, protect their recovery. Maybe a well-meaning dentist, doctor, or surgeon wrote a prescription and didn't know the whole story. Or, maybe your patient wants to relapse. If you see something, say something, even if it feels awkward. Prevent relapses and maybe overdoses with patients who have a lower tolerance for opioids. Be skeptical of natural products and supplements that have been promised to help with opioid withdrawal. Terminology matters. Know your audience, and reflect their preferred language back to them. Avoid terms that are stigmatizing, like "junkie." When in doubt, ask the person you're speaking with how they prefer to call themselves.

Hello to you listening in Aukland, New Zealand! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. I've been walking in the rain to settle my restless, anxious spirit. I live in Washington. It rains. If don't walk in the rain I'd probably never walk. As I walked I reflected on something my teacher Thich Nhat Hanh said about people and the sturdiness of trees, “When you look at the tree during the storm you can see that the top of the tree is not solid. You can only see the tiny branches and a number of leaves on the top of the tree swaying back and forth under the effect of the wind. You have the impression that the tree is very vulnerable but if you look down to see the big branches and the trunk of the tree you see that the tree is strongly rooted in the ground. The impression that the tree is vulnerable will vanish. You see that the tree is much more solid than it looks at the top. We are like that, too." Practical Tip: When you feel anxious, uncertain or vulnerable you can practice to get solid and peaceful again. The stability of your body will help bring about the stability of your mind. Sit beautifully and practice saying: “Breathing in I see myself grounded, breathing out I feel solid, peaceful.” And so you will become. Guaranteed.

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Healthcare systems fail vulnerable people when silence replaces honesty and institutions avoid accountability. Families navigate unanswered questions, patients carry hidden wounds, and communities struggle to respond. Real healing begins locally through compassion, informed consent, faith communities, and neighbors who show up, speak truth, and restore dignity where large systems fall short...
In this episode, Jason Jones interviews Joe Enders about the complex issues surrounding Zionism, Christian persecution in the Holy Land, and the cultural challenges faced by Gen Z.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Nine days of testimony. A housekeeper who says she sold fentanyl. A dealer who says it was oxycodone. A boyfriend's intimate texts read aloud in court. Phone searches asking what poison does to a death certificate. A case built entirely on circumstantial evidence — and a retired FBI Special Agent who knows exactly where it holds and where it doesn't.Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the Kouri Richins murder trial from a trained investigative standpoint — starting with the fundamental problem the prosecution now owns: when two immunity witnesses directly contradict each other about whether the drug sold was fentanyl or oxycodone, what does that do to the chain of custody for the substance at the foundation of this entire case? She explains what FBI investigators do when key witnesses undermine each other, and what prosecutors can realistically do to repair a chain that's already been fractured from inside the courtroom.She analyzes the digital forensics — phone searches for poison, death certificates, and deleting iPhone messages — and breaks down what evidentiary weight search history actually carries in an FBI homicide investigation. She walks through the cell tower data, the missed insurance beneficiary change, the GPS text sent on Valentine's Day, and how those pieces function together when no single element is definitive on its own.And she gives an honest read on the overall prosecution case: what lands hardest with juries, what the defense will exploit, and where she sees the single most vulnerable link in nine days of evidence.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

1. In this first deep dive, Bassetti discusses the changing landscape of antimicrobial resistance in hospitals and ICUs, the challenges of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria, and the vulnerability of patients who are critically ill and immunocompromised. He explores how diagnosis, empiric therapy, and therapeutic monitoring influence outcomes and resistance. Timestamps: 01:09 – Antimicrobial resistance trends 04:06 – Tackling sepsis 06:39 – Gram-negative threat 08:15 – Vulnerable populations 10:00 – Diagnosis and empiric therapy 12:14 – Dosing and pharmacokinetics 14:32 – Antibiotic allergies
Are we trying to carry responsibilities God never asked us to hold?In this conversation with Jimmy Dodd, we explore the tension many of us live with every day—the pull between urgency and surrender, responsibility and trust. We talk honestly about the hidden gap between our “front stage” and “backstage” lives, why isolation quietly destroys leaders and families, and the six relationships every person needs to thrive.Together, we unpack what it looks like to build real friendships that include truth-tellers, why spiritual intimacy matters more than simple accountability, and how God often guides our days through interruptions we didn't plan. We also wrestle with a practical question many of us face: how do we stay faithful to what's in front of us without carrying the weight of outcomes that only God controls?This conversation is a refreshing reminder that we were never meant to do life alone—and that the path to lasting faithfulness is found in humility, trusted relationships, and daily dependence on the Spirit.Support the show

What if your core wounds aren't things to conquer, but parts of yourself that just need to be seen, heard, and understood? And what if the reason manifestation feels effortless in your imagination but impossible in action has nothing to do with motivation…and everything to do with your nervous system? This week, Jessica sits down with somatic therapist and parts work expert Sarah Baldwin for a conversation that will completely reframe how you understand manifestation. Together, they explore why your nervous system calls the shots on what you attract, and how the self-protective patterns you developed as a child are quietly keeping you from stepping into your purpose, relationships, visibility, and expansion as an adult. Using Somatic Experiencing & Internal Family Systems (IFS) and spiritual practices, Sarah explains how our minds are made up of different "parts" — inner voices or emotional states, each with their own fears and roles. The parts that learned to protect you in childhood don't disappear; they keep running in the background, quietly shaping what you believe you're allowed to have. Unblocking starts with getting curious about those parts rather than fighting them, and learning to become a loving, attuned parent to your inner child. With nervous system regulation and parts work, you'll move through fear without forcing it, gradually expanding your capacity to hold more goodness. If manifestation feels clear in theory but sticky in practice, this episode will show you why, and guide you in softening the walls that have been keeping you from the life you've been waiting for.

La franja costera del Pacífico es una región clave para la economía nacional y algunos de sus departamentos, como Escuintla, se encuentran entre los menos pobres del país. Cuando se habla de hambre, esta región no es la primera que viene a la mente. Pero desde hace una década, algunos lugares de la costa sur registran las tasas más altas de desnutrición aguda infantil de todo el país. Entre las grandes plantaciones de palma o banano, los ingenios azucareros o los centros turísticos, vive una población vulnerable que casi nadie ve.

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore why neurodivergent people can be more vulnerable to negative influence.Growing up feeling different often leads to masking, people-pleasing, and a fragile sense of identity. When belonging has felt conditional, it can become easier to agree, adapt, and absorb the views of others just to avoid rejection.Jordan shares a recent experience of being let down by someone he trusted, while Simon reflects on a past friendship that crossed into manipulation and exploitation. They unpack how loneliness, burnout, justice sensitivity, and the need for certainty can leave neurodivergent people more susceptible to toxic dynamics.The conversation also dives into social media, echo chambers, and algorithm-driven radicalisation, and how validation, moral clarity, and belonging can feel regulating even when the influence itself is harmful.In this episode, we discuss:Masking and weakened identityPeople-pleasing and toxic friendshipsJustice sensitivity is being exploitedLoneliness and manipulationSocial media echo chambersDoom-scrolling and radicalisationBurnout and impulsive decisionsKnowing your vulnerable seasonsAn honest episode about influence, autonomy, and learning to protect yourself without losing your openness.Our Sponsors:

Why do people committed to their spiritual growth end up vulnerable to harmful cult dynamics?Matthew Remski breaks down the mechanics of spiritual manipulation and why loneliness, economic instability, and the search for meaning create the perfect conditions for high-demand groups to thrive. This conversation doesn't dismiss spiritual seeking—it sharpens your ability to discern genuine teachers from manipulative ones.What you'll learn:Why isolation makes you vulnerable to manipulationHow charismatic leaders exploit confusion about meaningThe difference between a teacher and a predatorMatthew Remski is co-host of Conspirituality Podcast and author of the forthcoming Anti-Fascist Dad. He spent years inside two high-demand spiritual groups and now investigates cult dynamics in yoga, wellness, and New Age communities.A note from Melissa: Matthew and I don't land in the same place spiritually. I have a healthy skepticism, but I've also found real healing in spiritual work and I don't lead with suspicion the way he does.
