Delta launched a basic first class following United, stripping out seat selection, upgrades, and same day changes while almost certainly charging you the same, and we explain why it is just a way to make you pay more for what you already got. The good news is United is putting a blocked empty middle seat with its own tray on its A321XLRs, a European style setup that saves them a flight attendant and that we would happily book over regular first, and Emirates is rolling out a folding UDream headrest that could finally make sleeping in economy possible. We also cover the partnership madlibs of the week, Hilton with Explora cruises, Japan Airlines with Marriott Bonvoy, and Air Canada Aeroplan with World of Hyatt, and what each is actually worth. We close with a genuinely useful one, Wyndham doubling its Caesars transfer limit to 60,000 points through September 11th, which is a great way to rescue points before Wyndham's brutal four year expiration hits. Let us know in the comments if a better headrest would get you to fly economy.

Почела је да се окреће да оде.En: Her heart felt heavy. She began to turn to leave.Sr: Али Милош је осетио нешто у њеној тврдоглавој младости, у тој страсти.En: But Miloš sensed something in her determined youth, in that passion.Sr: "Можда можемо направити договор."En: "Maybe we can make a deal."Sr: Драгичине очи су поново засијале са надом.En: Dragica's eyes shone again with hope.Sr: "Какав договор?"En: "What kind of deal?"Sr: "Ти имаш знање. Можеш ми помоћи да потврдим аутентичност других предмета које имам.En: "You have knowledge. You can help me verify the authenticity of other items I have.Sr: Зато, даш ми своју стручност, а ја ћу ти дати попуст."En: So, you give me your expertise, and I'll give you a discount."Sr: Драгица се насмејала. Понуда је била више него фер.En: Dragica laughed. The offer was more than fair.Sr: Прихватила је, платила је за сат и отишла срећна.En: She accepted, paid for the watch, and left happy.Sr: Као резултат тог договора, Милош је отворио своју малу антикварницу у срцу Београда.En: As a result of that deal, Miloš opened his own small antique shop in the heart of Beograd.Sr: Драгица, са више самопоуздања у свој комесарски таленат, стекла је драгоцено искуство.En: Dragica, with more confidence in her curatorial talent, gained valuable experience.Sr: Њихово партнерство је обећавало још много авантура.En: Their partnership promised many more adventures.Sr: Улоге су се спојиле у заједничком циљу – спашавање и прослава историје у малим, златним предметима прошлости.En: Their roles merged in a common goal – the rescue and celebration of history in the small, golden items of the past.

In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Natalie Bogart, Deputy Director of the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA), which operates the Amtrak Downeaster.Bogart describes the Downeaster's reach: 12 station communities across three states, five daily roundtrips, and over 550,000 riders last year, about 30,000 of whom traveled to or from Dover. She highlights the service's diverse ridership — commuters, day-trippers, college students, and seniors and kids who ride at 50% off — plus a discount program for medical travelers.The conversation covers scheduling complexities (including why late-night Portland-area service, like return trips from Thompson's Point concerts, involves Amtrak, CSX, and NNEPRA), NNEPRA's ongoing 15-year service development plan, and priority infrastructure projects: relocating the Portland station onto the rail mainline and adding double-track sections to increase capacity and speed.Parker and Bogart also discuss Dover's partnership with NNEPRA, including grant funding for station improvements, wayfinding signage developed years ago, and the volunteer ambassador program that welcomes arriving passengers. Bogart notes that fares are affordable — $16 to $26 between Dover and Boston, as low as $8 to Old Orchard Beach — and describes onboard amenities such as business-class seating and the Downeast Cafe. She closes by encouraging listeners to visit AmtrakDowneaster.com to learn more about the Downeaster's station communities and submit feedback on future service.In This Week in Dover History, we look back at July 25, 1890, when the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that Dover's own Marilla Marks Ricker could be admitted to the state bar, the first woman in New Hampshire history to do so. A lifelong freethinker and suffragist, Ricker had already been the first woman to attempt to vote in Dover in 1870, and went on to practice law in Washington, D.C., where she was known as the "Prisoner's Friend." She ran for New Hampshire governor in 1910 and died in 1917, just before the 19th Amendment secured women's right to vote.

In this episode, Sathiya sits down with Laura Cheadle, J.D., a former corporate attorney turned betrayal trauma coach, to explore how couples can rebuild trust after pornography addiction, infidelity, and relational betrayal. Drawing from her own experience of discovering her husband's long-term affairs after 15 years of marriage, Laura shares why healing begins with learning to trust yourself again and explains the essential roles of honesty, empathy, accountability, and patience in restoring a relationship.

What should the government be doing to get us AI ready? How do we make sure people co-exist with AI and aren't just replaced by it? What role should trade unions have? What are 'tech towns' and how important are they in the AI race? Nobel prize winning economist Simon Johnson is back to tell us about his role as the chair of the government's AI Institute which will use workplace data shared by over thirty major corporations to track, in real-time, how AI adoption is shifting job availability, wage growth, and macroeconomic productivity across the UK.

The social media giant Meta is reportedly negotiating a massive infrastructure agreement with the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic. This potential deal, valued at up to $10 billion, would involve Meta leasing its extensive data center capacity to help power Anthropic's high-demand AI models. Such a partnership marks a significant strategic shift for Meta, as it explores entering the cloud services market to monetize its heavy investments in hardware. While the two companies are currently competitors in the AI sector, the arrangement would provide Anthropic with essential computing resources while creating a lucrative new revenue stream for Meta beyond traditional advertising. This move follows similar large-scale hardware deals in the industry, highlighting the desperate global need for computational power to sustain modern AI development.

China and Indonesia have pledged to deepen ties, with Beijing supporting stronger bilateral ties and Jakarta welcoming more Chinese investment and expanded Belt and Road cooperation.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio discussing the recent announcement of USC athletics extending its partnership with megabrand NIKE for 10 more years, taking the relationship that started in the 1990's into its fifth decade. The new deal will put Trojan student athletes on NIKE's NIL roster, the school's brand new Bloom Football Performance Center will feature Nike strength equipment, the men's and women's basketball teams will get annual custom uniforms and NIKE promises to "refresh" and "reimagining" of the USC campus bookstore.The guys then take a look at USCFootball.com's top-30 most important Trojans heading into the 2026 college football season, with our countdown already down to No. 17 (Michigan State defensive lineman transfer Alex VanSumeren). We started releasing the last last week with our first five out (that included big man Jamaal Jarrett who scored that epic touchdown last season) followed by No. 30 freshman wide receiver Trent Mosley.Ryan and RJ compare what has been released of the complied list with what they submitted on their personal lists and talk about why they feel these players will play a critical role in the team's success this season.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

Welcome to another episode of The AZREIA Show! In this episode, Michael Del Prete, Executive Director of the Arizona Real Estate Investors Association (AZREIA), explains why seller financing is making a major comeback in today's real estate market. As higher interest rates, tighter lending standards, and shrinking cash flow make traditional financing more challenging, Mike breaks down how seller carry financing can create win-win opportunities for both buyers and sellers. He explains the fundamentals of owner financing, the key terms that can be negotiated, and why many property owners are becoming more open to creative financing solutions. Mike also walks through a real-world Sedona investment example, showing how structuring the purchase price, down payment, interest rate, amortization schedule, and balloon payment can transform a deal that wouldn't work with conventional financing into one that generates positive cash flow. He shares practical advice on working with investor-friendly title companies and third-party loan servicing, finding motivated sellers through MLS and PropStream, and properly underwriting deals while accounting for market changes, operating expenses, and long-term investment risks. Whether you're a new investor looking for creative ways to buy your first property or an experienced investor seeking better financing strategies, this episode offers actionable insights you can apply in today's market. Mike also discusses the importance of documenting partnerships, protecting your investments with proper agreements, and taking advantage of the opportunities that arise when traditional financing becomes more difficult.

The wrong business partner can cost you far more than money. They can damage your reputation, disrupt your operations, and weaken everything you worked to build. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why bad partnerships become a silent tax on your business and how to protect your equity, credibility, and inner circle. A partnership is not built on friendship alone. It requires discipline, trust, shared standards, and the ability to execute under pressure. Before handing someone equity, you need proof that they can perform when the stakes are high. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why choosing a partner based on friendship can destroy your business• How a partner's habits and reputation can impact your company• Why you should test the working relationship before giving away equity• How aligned partners can create exponential growth The truth is simple: You should never give away ownership because you are afraid to build alone. Test the dynamic. Protect the cap table. Choose partners who strengthen your weaknesses, match your work ethic, and leave their ego at the door. The right partnership becomes a weapon. The wrong one becomes one of the most expensive mistakes you will ever make. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Emerging contaminants such as PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances) present a difficult challenge for public health agencies: the science is evolving, exposure pathways are complex, and communities want clear answers even when uncertainty remains. Christen Linke Young, cabinet secretary for the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services, talks about Delaware's cross-agency approach to addressing PFAS contamination and other environmental health concerns. By bringing together experts from public health, environmental protection, and agriculture, the state has built a collaborative model that relies on scientific expertise and long-standing relationships rather than top-down coordination. The conversation explores how uncertainty surrounding PFAS can complicate public communication while also creating opportunities to rebuild trust in public health institutions. Linke Young discusses Delaware's efforts to communicate transparently about what is known, what remains uncertain, and how residents can participate in the decision-making process.About Environmental Public Health | ASTHOSubscribe | ASTHO

Tom Reilly, president of VMI Sports, returns for Episode #226 of the PricePlow Podcast, just five months after his debut on Episode #205. This time, Ben is joined by Spencer, PricePlow’s VP of Partnerships and Operations, who steps in for Mike and steers a big chunk of the conversation toward retail strategy. Tom walks through how VMI keeps winning grocery shelf space at Wegmans, Giant Eagle, and now Wakefern’s ShopRite banner, and why understanding vendor portals, credits, and shipping requirements matters as much as the formula itself. He also unveils VMI’s newest creatine lineup, teases an unnamed protein snack headed for shelves by late summer, and explains why the brand waited two years to find the right creatine gummy manufacturer. Along the way, Tom breaks down VMI’s GNC franchise partnerships, a new VP hire aimed at the beverage business, and the MAX Catalyst-powered formula behind KXR Stacked.

Chase Koch grew up receiving Sunday philosophy lessons from his father Charles and, by his own account, spent most of them half asleep while his sister supplied the answers. The principles didn't land until he lived them: throwing tennis matches as a bored teenager, getting shipped off to shovel manure at a feed yard twelve hours later, then spending five years battling Brazilian bureaucracy to build a fertilizer terminal that should have taken one. Today he is Executive Vice President of Origination and Partnerships, leader and donor to Stand Together, plays lead guitar in a band named for the law of entropy, and has a new book with his father on principle-driven leadership. Chase and Tyler discuss if any of his father's lessons never stuck, the guilt-trip letter his grandfather wrote three months after Charles was born, why Chase started throwing tennis matches, what Rafa's grit taught him about stoicism, who he admired most from the 1992 Dream Team, whether the Spurs should jettison De'Aaron Fox, the David Gilmour solo that hooked him at eleven, what drew him to jam bands, how he built a boom-box business out of his parents' garage, why his father interviewed Snoop on a Zoom call during Covid, why his band is named for the second law of thermodynamics, what it's like working with MrBeast, how Koch Inc has evolved, what he learned from Marc Andreessen, the philosophy behind hiring the "farm team," why he is teaching himself to code with Claude at his fourteen-year-old's urging, where he's traveling next, and much more.

In 2025, the FDA approved the antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) enfortumab vedotin combined with pembrolizumab for patients with cisplatin-ineligible muscle-invasive bladder cancer, unlocking a new perioperative treatment option. To administer this ADC-based therapy alongside surgical intervention, multidisciplinary teams must prioritize collaborative workflows at all points of the treatment journey. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Manojkumar Bupathi, MD, President of Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers, about how ADCs are reshaping the care model toward earlier, structured collaboration between urology and medical oncology. Guests: Manojkumar Bupathi, MD President Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers Co-Chair, GU Executive Committee Sarah Cannon Research Institute Denver, CO "The challenge wasn't learning the drug itself. The challenge was how you integrate the regimen into your treatment paradigm." —Manojkumar Bupathi, MD "There's always this relationship that happens from the beginning and is maintained throughout the entire process." —Manojkumar Bupathi, MD Resources: ACCC Bladder Cancer Resources ACCC Antibody-Drug Conjugate Resources  

Kamilla & Kyle's New Secret Partnership Rob Cesternino is joined by Survivor alums Kamilla and Kyle from seasons 48 and 50 to talk about their latest project. While the tribe may be gone, the spirit of partnership and competition lives on as they explore the journey behind launching their new shared habit-tracking app—and the Survivor-inspired accountability that comes with it. The team dives into how the idea for Paprclip started with a cartoon mishap and how it grew during Kyle's Achilles recovery, where physical therapy homework led to a friendship-fueled solution for building new habits. Kamilla shares the honest struggle of keeping up post-Survivor gym routines and how having the right partner can make all the difference. The discussion covers the balance between gamification, deeper psychology, and the daily grind, touching on everything from hidden healthy habits to playful accountability with friends and spouses. Plus, the group samples a round of “guess the voice” with their Survivor friends, revealing inside jokes and the lengths they'll go for a laugh. Highlights from their chat include: Kyle's cartoon-inspired “aha” moment that sparked the concept for a habit-tracking app Kamilla's take on the challenge of staying motivated after Survivor and the importance of mutual accountability The creative ways Paprclip gamifies habit-building with streaks, points, badges, and friendly competition Insights into the Kickstarter campaign, group functionality plans, and how they aim to tackle loneliness and foster new connections A lively “voice memo” game with recognizable Survivor voices and quirky memories from the castaways Check out the full episode for candid stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and smart strategies to stay motivated—both in the game and everyday life.

Michael Lewis went looking for the people holding this country together and found something he didn't expect — not just competence, but a kind of devotion so pure it made him want to keep writing about it. In the second episode of our Unsung series, Kelly sits down with one of the greatest storytellers alive to talk about what he's discovered inside the federal government, why the material keeps pulling him back, and what it means to dedicate your life to a problem nobody else thought was worth solving. Also: the story of how a one-man play about his daughter came to be — and why actor Jason Bateman was involved before Michael had written a single word. This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at Partnership for Public Service. Check out Michael's book Who Is Government?

In this episode, she shares her 18-year journey from entry-level portfolio administrator to "boomerang" equity partner.

The vast majority of brewers we talk to for this podcast—and for the magazine—start out as homebrewers. And anyone who's listened to more than a few episodes knows how common it is to hear about how an influential brewer's journey started with a simple extract-based brewing kit. Making it easy for people to brew and enjoy beer at home is an important part of the craft-beer story—that's where the story begins for so many—and that's what this special episode produced in partnership with Pinter is about. Those old-school kits serve a purpose, but today there's a better way to open the brewing door for the next generation of enthusiasts. That's where Pinter comes in: The partnerships they've built allow fledgling homebrewers to make familiar recipes from breweries such as Lagunitas, Great Lakes, Chicago's Hopewell, Adnams in England, and more, thus creating even more connections between drinking craft and making craft. Executive editor (and our resident homebrewer) Joe Stange hosts this episode. Joe received a unit and brewed a test batch of Pinter's Lagunitas Sumpin' Easy recipe on it to get a feel; he was impressed with the results. Through the episode, Joe, Pinter U.S. CEO Paul Benner, and Pinter head brewer Will Kirkham discuss the need for pathways into brewing along with functional insights and ways that professional brewers can work with Pinter to build a more active customer experience.

For simple actionable tips to grow your business, subscribe to The FoundHer Files Liz Lange proves that the best marketing rarely needs a big budget, just the right people.On Dear FoundHer, host Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Liz Lange, founder of Liz Lange Maternity, about what it takes to build a business when the money and the confidence are not there yet. Partnership marketing sits at the center of it all, but not in the polished, strategic sense people mean today. For Liz, it looked like trust. It looked like showing up for people and letting the relationship do the work.Liz talks openly about starting as a bootstrap founder with almost nothing to lose and everything to prove. She is candid about the fear behind every major decision, and how often the loudest advice turned out to be wrong. Her instincts, not her budget, were what carried the business forward.The real thread running through this episode is trust. Trust in yourself, trust in slow relationships over quick wins, and trust that partnership marketing can outperform any ad spend when it comes from something real. For Liz, this wasn't a tactic. Networking with women came naturally to her.This is one of those real founder stories that reminds you that good PR for small businesses often starts with a single relationship, not a plan. It's proof that female founders do not need permission to trust what they already know.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Welcome to Dear FoundHer and the Growing Founder Community02:47 Meet Liz Lange, Maternity Fashion Pioneer03:47 Starting Liz Lange Maternity With a Fax Machine and No Budget09:13 Dressing Celebrities and Building Word of Mouth Marketing15:36 Learning the Fashion Business From the Ground Up19:07 Opening the First Liz Lange Maternity Store in New York23:27 Landing the Nike Partnership Marketing Deal27:05 How the Target Deal Changed the Business Forever33:29 Ignoring the Naysayers and Trusting Her Instincts39:03 Bootstrapping the Business Without Raising Outside Money41:37 Balancing Motherhood With a Fast Growing Business44:06 Life After Liz Lange Maternity and Home Shopping Network45:15 Buying the Figue Brand and Building a New Chapter46:17 Finding Community and Connection on Social Media49:13 Three Actionable Steps for Women Starting a BusinessConnect with Liz Lange:Follow Liz on InstagramJoin the Dear FoundHer...
