Boost Mobile's New Unlimited Plan And Focus On Better Connectivity Set It Apart From Competitors

Benzinga

With the school year quickly approaching, parents and students around the country are looking to find the best phone plans. Whether you’re buying a first phone for a younger child or a teenager going off to college and purchasing your own plan for the first time, affordability and accessibility are important to consider. When it comes to prepaid providers, Boost Mobile (NASDAQ: DISH) is one of the best in the game. CNET recently named Boost’s unlimited plan 1 one of the “ Best Prepaid Phone Plans,” and for a good reason. Boost Mobile has recently introduced a new unlimited plan that is just $12.50 for the first month – offering unlimited talk, text and data for $25 per month with AutoPay 2. This plan stands out from the crowd as it is not tied to 12-month increments, unlike Mint Mobile's 12-month plan. This offer is only available to new Boost customers who bring their own phone or purchase a full SRP phone from Boost Mobile. The plan includes 5G access, 30GB of high-speed data per month and a hotspot 3. Boost has been actively working on expanding its 5G capacity so all customers have the best connectivity available, and the company is ahead of the competition when it comes to providing 5G. With the evolution of mobile technology, 5G promises to deliver high-capacity and blazing-fast mobile technology that will enable the next wave of mobile wireless innovation. Boost plans to leverage its 2.5 GHz spectrum and deploy Massive MIMO radio technology to achieve this goal. The Massive MIMO technology can deliver greater capacity than current LTE systems, which will enable Boost to offer faster speeds, increased network capacity and an overall better experience for its wireless customers. When it comes to cell phone plans, there are typically two options available: pre-paid and post-paid. Post-paid plans, like Verizon or T-Mobile, are traditional contract-based plans that require customers to pay a monthly bill for a set amount of data, talk time, and texts. Pre-paid plans, on the other hand, allow customers to pay for their service upfront and only pay for what they need. This is why the unlimited plan is appealing to a wide range of consumers: its flexibility and inexpensive price point. One of the main benefits of pre-paid plans is that they offer more flexibility and control over spending. Customers can choose to pay only for the services they need and can adjust their usage accordingly. Prepaid providers often do not require a credit check, making them incredibly valuable for customers with lower credit or young people with no credit history. With pre-paid plans, customers avoid unexpected charges because they are only charged for what they use. This can be particularly beneficial for those on a tight budget or for those who do not use their phone frequently. The company's commitment to providing value to its customers is evident in its no-contract policy. The company’s BoostOne app also offers daily discount opportunities. Given all the benefits it offers, Boost Mobile is a highly attractive choice for those seeking a reliable and cost-effective cell phone service provider for merely $25/month. 1 Based on a comparison of the Boost $25/mo. unlimited plan to other carriers’ unlimited plans. 2 Taxes and fees extra. 3 5G requires a compatible device. 5G is not available everywhere. Mobile hotspot draws from data allotment. This post contains sponsored content. This content is for informational purposes only and not intended to be investing advice.

From Renters to Host: Renter Reveal Secrets to Earning Extra Income with Airbnb-Friendly Apartments!

YourUpdateTV

As part of Airbnb’s ongoing efforts to make hosting more accessible to more people, they launched Airbnb-friendly apartments – an easier way for renters to find a place to live where they can host on Airbnb part-time. Recently, Airbnb-Friendly Apartment Host, Jeff Grant, conducted a satellite media tour to talk about the Airbnb‑friendly apartments program and how renters across the US are turning their apartments into profitable Airbnb listings. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/hpSmHUkDqIM Renters interested in hosting a spare room, or their entire apartment when they’re out of town, can browse more than 250 Airbnb-friendly apartment buildings, subject to availability, across 37 markets across the US . Airbnb-friendly apartments are part of Airbnb’s broader efforts to help more people tap into the economic benefits of hosting at a time when many are trying to keep up with the rising cost of living. Over a three-month period, renters who hosted in Airbnb-friendly apartment buildings included in the marketplace hosted on average nine nights per month and earned on average $900 per month 1. Prospective renters in the US can visit airbnb.com/airbnb-friendly to discover Airbnb-friendly apartments in their area or another city. This new program provides prospective renters who wish to host part-time with information and tools, including: Browse Airbnb-friendly apartments – Prospective renters can explore a variety of Airbnb-friendly buildings at different price points and locations. They can browse available apartments, view floor plans, and what each building offers. Earnings calculator – Prospective renters can use an interactive, custom-built calculator to get an estimate of how much money they could earn by hosting part-time. Calculator users can select various options such as apartment size, or how many nights renters want to host, to receive an estimate of potential earnings per month. Connect with building management – Prospective renters can view additional information on individual buildings, including interior and exterior photos and information about what’s nearby. Building management also can answer specific questions about a building, schedule in-person tours and start the leasing process. Access to Airbnb Setup – Airbnb Setup, a simple way for new Hosts to put their place on Airbnb — from their first question to their first guest. Airbnb Setup will be available to new renters in Airbnb-friendly apartments as they get started hosting– it offers free, one-to-one guidance from a Superhost along with the option to host an experienced guest for your first stay. Helping renters with rising costs of living According to a recent poll commissioned by Airbnb, nearly three-quarters of US adults support allowing renters to share their apartments on a short-term basis 2. Airbnb-friendly apartments help unlock hosting for tenants who may be especially cost burdened right now and whose lease terms and building rules have prevented them from hosting part-time. Consumer prices continue to rise with food, transportation and housing seeing additional increases in October 3. Hosts on Airbnb are using the income earned from sharing their home to help them cover higher costs of living. In the US, 41 percent of Hosts report this as a reason for hosting 4. Airbnb believes that Airbnb-friendly apartments will allow more renters to tap into the economic benefits of home sharing. Supporting responsible hosting and communities The apartments are designed to be a renter’s primary residence. To help ensure renters benefit from the program, each building has its own community rules for hosting – including a limit on the number of nights renters can host per year. In addition, all renters are expected to follow local short-term rental rules, building rules and Airbnb’s community standards. Airbnb believes cities can help renters better afford where they live by supporting Airbnb-friendly apartments and embracing policies that allow renters to share their space. The program will launch in additional cities in the coming months. To learn more, visit airbnb.com/airbnb-friendly. Jeff's Bio: Originally from Texas, Jeff experienced a variety of cultures and places throughout his career in the Air Force. After dedicating 12 years to service, as both an Officer and Aviator, Jeff recently retired and embarked on a new career following his passions in interior design and home goods. Jeff became a Airbnb host almost by accident. He quickly learned the allure of thoughtful home design, and found the perfect opportunity to combine his passions and entrepreneurial spirit when his apartment complex offered up the option to Host up to 90 days of the year through the Airbnb Friendly Apartments program. He and his partner, Amador, now Host their 1-bedroom apartment when they travel or when there are major events in town. About Airbnb Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed over 1.5 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, Hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.

Not only does Lunatic Femme redefine traditional beauty standards as an innovative lingerie brand, but it also serves as a driving force for soul expression. Whether you're feeling shy or bold, bored or stressed, there's something for you. From multi-way bodysuits that speak volumes to changeable, detachable harnesses that channel fierceness, removable ties that ignite passion to silk and lace that foster connection, Lunatic Femme isn't just about inclusivity—it's about guiding you on a journey of erotic self-discovery. A defining aspect of their lingerie is its adjustable nature, which breaks away from the standard small, medium, and large sizes. To address individual needs like needing more room in the hips or having a longer torso, an extra two inches of space on the straps have been thoughtfully included to provide a tailored fit, boosting comfort, confidence, and exploration. Plus, many of their pieces, like the Boa High-Waisted Panty and the Champagne Room 33 Lace-Up Bodysuit, come with detachable ties. These ties not only provide additional room, but also open up a world of playful possibilities. They can be used for adventurous and sensual play, wrapped around the body for harness-like looks or compression, or applied to the body as a silky means of play, discovery, or style.

It’s no surprise that the philosophy behind Lunatic Femme goes beyond just creating luxurious lingerie. It's a brand that champions the power of self-love, the freedom of soul expression, and the joy of self-discovery. Lunatic Femme encourages individuals to explore their style, ignite their creativity, and feel empowered in their own skin. In a recent interview with renowned sexologist Dr. Jess, the company's founder, Stacy Baker, shared her vision and mission for the brand. Stacy emphasized the importance of challenging conventional beauty standards and creating a space where individuals can play while expressing themselves and their sensuality authentically. “We’re a brand that recognizes and celebrates that you’re not one thing — and so your lingerie shouldn’t be either,” said Stacy. “It should be a pleasure zone where you get to explore and express the full-blown breadth and depth of all you are, in all your moments and moods.” With sustainability at the forefront of their values, Lunatic Femme uses ethically sourced, non-violent silk and ensures fair labor practices throughout their supply chain. By prioritizing sustainability, the brand aims to make a positive impact not only on their customers, but also on the environment. In the words of Stacy, “guilt has no place when you’re unapologetically sexy.” Lunatic Femme's commitment to inclusivity, soul expression, and sustainability has garnered attention from fashion enthusiasts and industry experts alike. Infusing designs that captivate with a commitment to social responsibility, Lunatic Femme is not only poised to become a leading force in the lingerie industry, but also a catalyst for igniting self-discovery among its clientele.

As Tiziana Life Sciences (NASDAQ: TLSA) Prepares For Phase 2 Trials, Have They Successfully Derisked Foralumab?

Benzinga

By David Willey, Benzinga Tiziana Life Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLSA) reports that its upcoming phase 2 trial for lead candidate foralumab’s treatment of non-active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (na-SPMS) has already been derisked, given the results from its expanded access program. Developing innovative drugs can be a lengthy, risky process, as there are numerous unknowns that a company has to be prepared for. De-risking in drug development trials involves an early accumulation of as much information about the product as possible and can be an important strategy for companies to reduce unknown variables for future trials. De-risking can tell the company the drug’s safety profile, how its mechanism of action works and what benchmarks to measure going forward. Tiziana has completed its expanded access program for foralumab, and the drug has already demonstrated a robust safety profile and improved the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score in some patients. Building A De-Risked Phase 2 Trial Tiziana will start its phase 2a trial as a multi-center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial – administering foralumab to its na-SPMS patients – and it will use the results from its expanded access program as a primary outcome measure. The company had taken 3-month Positron Emission Tomography (PET) brain scans for the six na-SPMS patients in its Expanded Access program. The chairman of Tiziana's Scientific Advisory Board described the results as “extraordinary,” with five of the six patients demonstrating reduced microglia activation, which suggests possible clinical improvements for the patients. Foralumab works by targeting regulatory T-cells and crossing the blood-brain barrier to dampen neuroinflammation. Inflammation of the brain is caused by activated microglia – the brain’s immune cells – and drives the neural degeneration associated with MS. Foralumab can downregulate microglia activation, leading to potential improvements in the patient's disability status. Foralumab is a first-in-class, fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb), a class of immunotherapy drugs that target the patient’s immune system. Drugs using mAbs are increasingly common, and the global market for mAbs in 2022 was $210.06 billion. Companies looking to develop MS therapies include Sanofi (NASDAQ: SNY) and Bayer (OTC: BAYRY). However, there are currently no drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for non-active SPMS. Click here to keep up with developments from Tiziana as it starts phase 2.
