The History of Italian Gymnastics traces the remarkable rise of one of the world's most successful gymnastics nations—from Italy's early Olympic champions and circus acrobatics roots to the Vanessa Ferrari revolution and today's powerhouse led by Alice D'Amato and Manila Esposito. We explore the forgotten pioneers, iconic eponymous skills, the dominance of Jury Chechi on rings, the 2019 breakthrough World medal, the unforgettable Paris Olympics, and whether Italy has what it takes to defeat Team USA during the Los Angeles quad. Along the way we revisit Vanessa Ferrari's controversial Olympic floor finals, the MTV series that made Italian gymnasts celebrities, and the innovations that changed the Code of Points forever.

If you've ever looked at United Polaris business class prices and thought they were completely out of reach, you're not alone. They can be outrageously expensive to book whether you're eyeing paying cash or points.   But what if there was a third path - something between paying full cash for a premium ticket and redeeming a massive amount of miles outright? Miguel Rueda, from the Let's Get to the Points podcast, shares about a strategy within the United loyalty program that most travelers either don't know about or completely overlook. It's called a Mileage Plus Upgrade Award, and understanding how it works fundamentally changes what's possible when you're flexible with dates and routes.   Miguel and I discuss what these awards actually are, how they differ from traditional award bookings, what PZ space means and why it matters for this strategy, and how to search for and confirm these upgrades. We walk through the specific mechanics of how this works, the tools you'll need, how to enable expert mode on United's platform, and the step-by-step booking process. We also explore when this strategy offers exceptional value and which routes and regions consistently show the strongest availability for premium cabin seats.   Whether you have United miles, transferable points you can move into United, or just a willingness to mix a little cash with your miles, this episode reveals how multiple Polaris seats can be available on a single flight—a game-changer for families and groups that have struggled to find premium cabin availability elsewhere.   Get full show notes and transcript: https://pointmetofirstclass.com/united-mileageplus-upgrade-awards    Eager to learn the secrets of award travel so that you can turn your expenses into unforgettable experiences?

Having cash feels good. It feels safe. It feels responsible. It feels like proof that you are not being reckless with money. But is there such a thing as saving too much cash? In this episode, Shari Rash, founder of GWA Wealth, breaks down how to know when cash is doing its job — and when it may be quietly holding you back. Cash is important. Emergency funds matter. Money you need soon should not be taking unnecessary market risk. But when too much of your long-term money sits in savings because investing feels uncertain, that “safe” choice may start costing you growth, flexibility, and future options. Shari explains how to tell the difference between smart cash and fear-based cash, why women who are good with money often over-save, and how to decide what money should stay safe versus what money may need to start working harder. You'll learn: Why cash can feel emotionally safer than investing When cash is absolutely doing its job How much cash may be enough for your emergency fund and near-term goals Why too much cash can create inflation risk and opportunity cost The difference between an emergency fund and a fear fund Why single women may need to think differently about cash, independence, and flexibility How to move from cash to investing without making a dramatic money move The simple Cash Confidence Check-In to help you give every dollar a job The goal is not to drain your savings or shame yourself for holding cash. The goal is to make sure your money is doing the right job for the life you are building. Because safety is not just having money sit still. Safety is knowing your money is working in the right places.

Have you considered London as your next award travel destination but weren't sure where to start?   London is one of the most accessible and rewarding destinations for both beginner and experienced award travelers, but it comes with unique challenges that most people don't anticipate. The city's accessibility makes it ideal for your first international points trip, yet the mechanics of award pricing, taxes and fees, and hotel value require strategy to maximize your redemptions.   Today I'm talking with Hunter Threadgill, known in the points and miles community as The Professor of Points. Hunter holds a PhD in psychology and applies a scientific approach to points optimization. We dive deep into why London deserves a place on your award travel radar, the surprising barriers that catch most travelers off guard, and the specific strategies that separate good bookings from great ones. We cover everything from navigating the UK's APD taxes to discovering lesser-known award programs that offer exceptional value, hotel redemption decisions for city stays, and even the psychology behind how we earn and use our points.   Whether you're planning your first international points trip or you're a seasoned traveler looking to master London specifically, this conversation changes how you think about award travel strategy.   Get full show notes and transcript: https://pointmetofirstclass.com/award-travel-london-strategy-guide     Eager to learn the secrets of award travel so that you can turn your expenses into unforgettable experiences?

Welcome to episode 136 of The Journey Is the Reward!On this episode, Micah and Brian are catching up with Julian Kheel from Points Path—one of their absolute favorite browser extensions (even if Brian still wants to call it an "application").Before the deep dive into point values, Brian is checking his gear for EAA AirVenture Oshkosh!  If you're heading to the show this summer, let Brian know so you can connect in person.And because it wouldn't be an complete episode without her, we dive back into the mailbag to answer yet another question from our most frequent of flyers, Listener Lu.The guys wanted to have Julian back on the show because Points Path has been busy adding some serious "thrust" to its feature set. If you're tired of guessing if you're getting a good deal, you'll want to hear about:Hotel Point Values: You can now see the real-world value of your points on hotel stays right in your browser.Smart Alerts: Points Path is now acting like your personal air traffic controller, monitoring price drops on flights you've booked—or are even just considering—so you can rebook and save without the manual labor.To wrap things up, the guys put Julian in the hot seat. They ask what he would do with a 100,000-point windfall, and his strategy might just surprise you. Plus, Julian gets honest about his own biggest "points turbulence"—the mistakes and regrets he's had while navigating the world of miles.So sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories. Because around here, the journey is the reward.As always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.You can always find the audio recording at www.thejourneyisthereward.org.

In this episode, Eddie, Raj, and Ashwin sit down with Professor Charles Herbaux to unpack the data, debate the clinical implications, and ask the question that's on every hematologist's mind: is this enough to change practice?Background: Setting the Stage for TafasitamabBefore diving into frontMIND, the episode provides context on tafasitamab, a CD19-targeting monoclonal antibodyL-MIND (Phase 2 — relapsed/refractory DLBCL):81 patients with R/R DLBCLORR 58%, complete response rate 41%Established activity of tafasitamab + lenalidomide in the relapsed settinghttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32511983/First-MIND (Phase 1b — frontline DLBCL, IPI 2–5):66 patients randomized: tafa-R-CHOP (n=33) vs. tafa-len-R-CHOP (n=33)ORR: 75.8% vs. 81.8%, respectivelySerious treatment-emergent adverse events: 42.4% vs. 51.5%Provided the signal (and the safety caution) to move to phase 3https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37369099/The frontMIND TrialDesign: Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trialIntervention: R-CHOP + tafasitamab (12 mg/kg IV days 1, 8, 15 per cycle) + lenalidomide (25 mg/day, days 1–10 per cycle)Control: R-CHOP + placebosGCSF mandatory (given double-blind design); VTE prophylaxis (heparin or aspirin) mandatory given lenalidomideEnrollment: May 2021 – March 2023; 899 patients randomizedPrimary endpoint: Investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS)Patient Population:Age 18–80; DLBCL or high-grade B-cell lymphoma, IPI 3–5Median age: 65 years96% advanced stage; 54% bulky disease; 31% ECOG PS 2; 82% elevated LDH55% IPI 3 / aaIPI 2; 43% IPI 4–5 / aaIPI 38% double/triple hit — a high-risk subgroup included despite R-CHOP being the controlBroad histologic inclusion: transformed lymphoma, grade 3B FL, T-cell/histiocyte-rich LBCL, EBV+ DLBCL, ALK+ LBCL, HHV8+ DLBCL Note: On retrospective central review, ~7% of patients had a different histology (roughly half had FL grade 1–3A), underscoring the diagnostic challenges in DLBCL~40% received pre-phase steroids; 8% rituximab; 4% vincristine prior to cycle 1Key Efficacy Results(Primary analysis at median follow-up 35.2 months) | Endpoint | Tafa-Len-R-CHOP | R-CHOP | HR / p-value | 2-year PFS | 71.1% | 62.9% | HR 0.75, p=0.0194 | 3-year PFS | 67.3% | 60.7% | ~6.6% absolute difference | Overall Survival | — | — | HR 0.85, p=0.27 (immature)Points of Discussion:Absolute PFS benefit at 2 years: ~8.2%; at 3 years: ~6.6% — a modest but statistically significant improvementOS curves cross early, then separate slightly from ~18 months; data remain immatureEarly censoring observed: ~17% (intervention) and ~14% (control) censored by 9 months — raises questions about off-protocol therapySubgroup consistency: PFS benefit appeared consistent across prespecified subgroups; specific subgroups discussed in the episodeSafety Adverse Event | Tafa-Len-R-CHOP | R-CHOP | Fatal treatment-emergent AEs | 6% (26 pts) | 4% (17 pts) | Diarrhea (any grade) | 25% | 17% | Febrile neutropenia | 17% (incl. 1 death) | 13% | Grade ≥3 anemia | 24% | 17% | Grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia | 27% | 14%The addition of tafasitamab and lenalidomide to R-CHOP adds meaningful hematologic toxicity, particularly thrombocytopenia and anemia, as well as diarrhea and febrile neutropenia.Key Discussion Points from the EpisodeDid the early-phase L-MIND and First-MIND data justify bringing tafasitamab into the front-line setting, and was tafa-len-R-CHOP the right intervention arm to take forward?Is R-CHOP the appropriate control for a patient population that includes 8% double/triple hit lymphoma?What are the implications of using investigator-assessed PFS as the primary endpoint — and how critical is effective blinding to the integrity of that endpoint?How do we interpret the early OS curve crossing and currently non-significant OS benefit?Is the ~8% absolute PFS improvement at 2 years clinically meaningful enough to change practice — particularly given the added toxicity?How should we think about patient selection: who would you prioritize for tafa-len-R-CHOP over standard R-CHOP in clinical practice?What does frontMIND mean for the DLBCL treatment landscape alongside polatuzumab-R-CHP (POLARIX)?Resources & Further ReadingfrontMIND trial: Lenz et al.

Study session scripture: Romans 9:30-10:13What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness[d] did not succeed in reaching that law. Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” Brothers,my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?'” (that is, to bring Christ down) “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?'” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”Study session topics:Israel's Rejection of God's Promises Israel's Unbelief (9:30-10:4) As with last time, we begin with "What shall we say then?" Points back to Paul's discussion of God's promises to Israel What follows is Paul's summation of what he laid out in Ch. 9 Paul lays out a grand irony between the Jews and Gentiles: Gentiles, on the whole, neither possessed nor pursued God's law, but they have been given an opportunity to receive God's righteousness by faith Jews, on the whole, possessed and pursued God's law for generations, yet that pursuit has not yielded the righteousness that leads to life Why did Israel fail to obtain righteousness through the law? They failed to use the law for its intended purpose: as a mirror to reveal their wickedness and point to a savior Instead, they attempted to use the law to increase their own righteousness As a result, they stumbled over the purpose of the Messiah and His teachings Paul diagnoses the issue of the Jews as being zealous for God, but being wrong about what God requires -If the Jews understood the law and its purpose rightly, they would look to Christ, "the end of the law for righteousness." What does "end" mean? Fulfillment -Culmination -TerminationGod's Message of Salvation to All (10:5-13) Paul again contrasts righteousness based on the law with righteousness based on faith He quotes Leviticus 18:5, a verse he also uses in a similar way in Galatians 3:10-14 The way of the law and the way of faith are mutually exclusive Using several Old Testament references, Paul lays out 3 different types of religion: The religion of the law (10:5) This is the religion of legalism, which Paul refuted in Ch. 7 No one can perfectly keep the law all their life The law was never meant to be a means of salvation The religion of signs (10:6-7) Here Paul references Deuteronomy 30:11-14 and recontextualizes it to refer to Christ's work, laying out several different meanings for Israel and Christians: Neither Israel nor Christians need any further word from God Neither Israel nor Christians need to do anything to bring the Messiah to them Neither Israel nor Christians should look for miracles The religion of faith (10:8-10) -This is a religion of belief and confession Belief: not mere intellectual assent, but trust, resting your hope for the future on Christ's work -Confession: several elements here "Jesus is Lord"--placing oneself under the kingship of Christ Confession with one's mouth is done before others--publicly identifying oneself with ChristConfession with one's mouth is how we share our faith with others Paul ties this passage back into his greater point on Israel's unbelief and rejection of God's promises "Everyone who believes in Him will not be put to shame" refers back to 9:38 where Paul assembles several quotes from Isaiah, all of which refer to the Messiah and come together to show both the promise of salvation and Israel's rejection of itPaul continues to hammer downs the walls between Jew and Gentile by restating what he said in 3:29-30 and universalizing Joel 2:32Study session audio: S4 E25: Romans 9:30-10:13 Download

As the US and Iran prepare to sign a memorandum of understanding halting hostilities in the Middle East, will the agreement hold up for long given fundamental differences over Iran's nuclear ambitions (another 60 days of negotiating), its funding of terrorist proxies across the region, plus Israel's actions in Lebanon? If he succeeds in putting Iran in the rear-view window, does President Trump turn his attention to brokering a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine (that war now approaching four years and four months of fighting) as well as ending Cuba's communist dictatorship? Finally, speaking of invasions, GoodFellows' resident Scotsman explains the joy of his countrymen's “Tartan Army” coming to Boston – thousands of kilt-wearing lads and lasses singing, marching and pub-crawling their way through Beantown whilst rooting on a Scottish national team making its first World Cup appearance in this century.  Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today's biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

A chaotic 4-2 comeback from Thomas Tuchel's England, Roberto Martinez frustrating Portugal against DR Congo, and a dramatic 95th-minute winner in Toronto. Day 7 was pure madness!Welcome back to FUT IN REVIEW | World Cup Daily #17. After a week of trying to sync up their schedules, Shaq and James Tolando finally team up on the microphones to dissect the closing games of the opening round of fixtures at the World Cup 2026.We break down all the matches, tactical blunders, and standout performers unfiltered:The Ronaldo Pressure Cooker: After Messi, Mbappé, and Haaland all fired braces or hat-tricks, the pressure was completely on Cristiano Ronaldo. Instead, Portugal looked stagnant in a frustrating 1-1 draw against DR Congo. We slam Roberto Martinez's rigid tactics and discuss whether Ronaldo is clogging up the pitch or if his manager lacks the cajones to bench him.Tuchel's Half-Time Rescue: England looked like "same old England" after going 2-1 down to Croatia at halftime. But Thomas Tuchel's speech completely broke the shackles. We praise Jude Bellingham for taking the game by the scruff of the neck, debate if John Stones should be dropped for Mark Guéhi, and look at Marcus Rashford's explosive performance off the bench.The Heartbreak of Toronto: Panama completely dominated Ghana for 90 minutes, only to concede a brutal 95th-minute winner to Yerenky after pushing their keeper into attack. Is this the most cruel game in World Cup history?Colombia Survives: Luis Díaz was absolute purring as Colombia cruised against Uzbekistan, before surviving a heavy second-half wake-up call to secure a 3-1 win.The Definitive Power Rankings: Now that every team has played exactly one match, Shaq and James give their honest, brutal ratings out of 10 for the tournament's traditional Top 8 (Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, France, England, Portugal, and the Netherlands).

A lot of women are doing the “right” things with money. They have the job. They save. They avoid bad debt. They keep money in the bank. They are responsible. But they still do not feel confident. In this episode, Shari Rash talks with Michelle Taylor, founder of Women In Wealth and host of Talk Wealthy to Me, about the disconnect so many women feel with money: technically doing well, but still feeling unsure, behind, or afraid to make the next move. Michelle shares how our early money stories shape the way we save, spend, invest, and ask for help. She and Shari talk about why women often receive money advice that does not account for the reality of their lives, including career pressure, caregiving, emotional labor, entrepreneurship, family expectations, and the desire to feel safe. They also dig into why keeping too much cash can feel responsible while quietly holding you back, why debt is not always bad when used strategically, and why the right financial community or advisor can help you move from “I'm good with money” to “I actually feel confident about what I'm doing.” You'll hear: Why women can do the right things financially and still feel uncertain How childhood money conversations become adult money beliefs Why money advice from well-meaning family members may not fit your actual life How to start more honest money conversations with friends Why cash can feel comforting but still cost you growth The difference between being responsible with money and being confident with money Why women need financial spaces where they can ask questions without shame How to find advice that supports your life, your goals, and your version of security This conversation is for the woman who has worked hard, saved money, avoided obvious mistakes, and still wonders, “Am I actually doing this right?” Because being good with money is not the finish line. Feeling clear, confident, and supported is what changes everything. If you're ready for personalized, judgment-free financial guidance, learn more about working with Shari.

In 1981, National Public Radio turned the biggest movie in the world into a thirteen-episode radio epic that went on to break the network's listening records. George Lucas sold the rights for a single dollar and handed over the original sound effects and John Williams' score, letting a full cast bring the galaxy to life in sound alone. Mark Hamill and Anthony Daniels reprised Luke Skywalker and C-3PO in a sweeping retelling that expands well beyond the film — the original Star Wars as you've never heard it.Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.
