Layne and Jon continue to barrel toward the end of Phase One of IDW’s The Transformers! In issue 27, Prowl, Streetwise, Ultra Magnus, and Bumblebee interrogate various captured parties; in issue 28, the Primes head down toward Vector Sigma to stop Galvatron from doing the unthinkable as Megatron powers up to confront D-Void the Deceptigod!

"We are so well positioned to have it continue and flourish because we have become a Perpetual Purpose Trust, which means this place is no longer owned by one person or any financial interest—it is owned by purpose." —Michael Stusser "We're always trying to figure out how we keep moving the property forward in a way that's sustainable, and also how it's going to impact our guests, our business, our staff." —Heather Bishop A perpetual purpose trust sounds like a legal footnote until you meet the two people who actually built one. This episode traces how Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary in Sonoma County became the first U.S. spa to place itself inside that structure — permanently removing any future owner's ability to chase profit over mission. Justine first sits down with founder Michael Stusser, who traces the idea back to a single afternoon in an 800-year-old Kyoto stone garden, and then with CEO Heather Bishop, who inherited the vision and had to figure out how to make it legally unbreakable. This one's for anyone who's tired of the word "sustainable" doing all the talking and none of the work. Michael and Heather don't just describe the enzyme bath, the meditation gardens, or the gray water system — they explain the budgeting, the permits, and the trade-offs behind each one. It's a conversation about what it actually costs, in time and humility, to build something that outlasts you. The enzyme bath's heat comes entirely from billions of thermophilic bacteria fermenting Douglas fir and rice bran — not from any external heat source. Osmosis's perpetual purpose trust means the business has no human shareholder; its "shareholder" is the mission itself, enforced by a trust committee and an independent trust enforcer. The five-and-a-half-acre property couldn't legally go into the same trust as the business, so it's being paid off and moved into a separate land trust over the next three to five years. A gray water system currently covers roughly 50–60% of the property's irrigation needs, with a rainwater catchment system planned to close the gap entirely. Osmosis sources its enzyme bath wood shavings as a byproduct from local lumber operations that would otherwise throw them away. Trust-based decision-making already changed real policy — Heather cites expanding paid time off to all staff, including part-time employees, as a direct result of the trust's staff-benefit objectives.

Beginning his journey at UC Santa Cruz in the late 1960s, he helped establish horticultural training centers and later served on the board of the Farallones Institute in Sonoma County. In the early 1980s, Michael apprenticed in traditional landscape gardening in Kyoto, Japan, where he immersed himself in Zen meditation and discovered the healing power of cedar enzyme baths. Returning to California in 1984, he introduced this unique practice, gaining national recognition in outlets like The New York Times and CNN. By 1988, he transformed five acres in Freestone into Osmosis, blending inspired landscaping, meditation traditions, and eco‑restoration to create a sanctuary rooted in sustainability, spirituality, and rejuvenation. LinkedIn Meet Heather: Heather Bishop is the CEO of Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary, where she leads one of Northern California's most distinctive hospitality businesses with a focus on people‑centered leadership and operational excellence. Over the past decade, she has guided Osmosis through transformative organizational change, overseeing operations, finance, HR, strategic planning, and guest experience for a team of 80+. Heather recently spearheaded the company's transition into a Purpose Trust‑owned business—one of the few in the United States—ensuring long‑term mission preservation while modernizing governance, HR systems, and employee benefits.

"It [cardiovascular disease] becomes an issue in middle age because that's when they start looking, not because that's when it starts." —Dr. Daniel Chong Heart disease and midlife are more connected than most people — or their doctors — realize, and this episode of Essential Ingredients pulls that connection into the open. Justine Reichman sits down with naturopathic physician Dr. Daniel Chong and returning co-host Dr. Lisa Brent to unpack why cardiovascular risk quietly rises for both men and women in midlife, and why so few people are told to watch for it until it's already underway. This conversation is for anyone in perimenopause, menopause, or andropause who's been handed a cholesterol number without context, or who's simply never been told when to start paying attention. Dr. Chong breaks down lipid testing, arterial plaque, nitric oxide, and even the surprising role your dentist plays in your heart health — all in plain, usable language. By the end, you'll understand that cardiovascular disease isn't a midlife event — it's a decades-long process that just happens to get noticed in midlife, and that the actions you take starting this week can change its trajectory. Key Takeaways: Plaque development in the arteries can begin in childhood or even before birth, so family history matters far more than age when deciding when to start testing. A single elevated LDL reading isn't enough to justify a statin prescription — triglyceride-to-HDL ratios and more detailed testing give a fuller picture. Gum disease and harsh antibacterial mouthwash can disrupt oral bacteria needed to produce nitric oxide, which directly affects artery health. Dark leafy greens, berries, garlic, and onions support nitric oxide production and should be eaten daily, regardless of what else is on the plate. Movement spread throughout the day — not just a single workout — meaningfully lowers cardiovascular risk on its own. Around age 35–40 is a reasonable starting point for a fasting lipid panel if there's no strong family history pushing that number younger.

"One day is a mental marathon, and so it is very difficult for the brain to be the best version of itself for everything. You don't have to be— your average is good for average experiences. Your best is needed for your most important experiences." —Dr. Izzy Justice The 10 Hertz brain state is the frequency neuroscientist Dr. Izzy Justice says separates your best decisions from your worst ones — and it's hiding in plain sight, 10 to 20 seconds away at any moment. After running more than 18,000 wireless EEG brain scans on everyone from NBA players to executives to trauma survivors, Dr. Justice discovered that peak focus, deep empathy, and total presence all cluster around the same low-noise brainwave frequency: roughly 10 Hertz. In this conversation with host Justine Reichman, Dr. Justice explains why wireless EEG technology changed how we understand the brain, how trauma physically "polarizes" specific neurons decades after the event, and why the fix isn't suppressing the memory but giving it a final chapter. He also walks through three practical neurohacks — techniques that take seconds, require no equipment, and can be used mid-conversation, mid-pitch, or mid-panic. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt foggy under pressure, reactive in a stressful moment, or unsure why their body remembers things their mind has tried to forget. Key Takeaways: Peak human performance and full sensory presence both happen near 10 Hertz, a measurably low-noise brain frequency — not a mindset or personality trait. Trauma creates highly "polarized" neurons that stay dormant until a matching sound, smell, or sensation reactivates them, sometimes decades later. You don't need to be your best self all day — reserving these techniques for one or two high-stakes moments daily is enough. The 10-10 technique (count fast to 10, then slow back to one) shifts brain state in about 20 seconds using nothing but your mind. The palm-tap technique and 4-2-8 breathing pattern each take 10 to 20 seconds and can be done anywhere, anytime. Healing trauma isn't about erasing the memory — it's about writing a final chapter where the experience serves a purpose.

"You can taste the quality." —Katina Mountanos Most of what's labeled "extra virgin olive oil" on grocery shelves isn't giving you the extra virgin olive oil benefits you think it is — and Kosterina founder Katina Mountanos found that out the hard way. In this episode, Justine sits down with Katina to unpack why so much store-bought olive oil tastes flat, what polyphenols actually do in the body, and why the "don't cook with olive oil, it has a low smoke point" advice you've been following is flat-out wrong. Katina traces her obsession with real olive oil back to summers on her family's farm in Koroni, Greece — and the moment, years later, that a $12 bottle from a New York supermarket tasted nothing like it. That gap sent her through an olive oil sommelier certification, a deep dive into polyphenol research, and eventually a full-time business built on transparency: harvest dates, single-origin sourcing, and third-party testing for everything from acidity to microplastics. This episode is for anyone who's stood in the oil aisle wondering which bottle is actually worth it, and for anyone rethinking what "seed oil vs olive oil" really means for their health. • High-antioxidant extra-virgin olive oil can contain 500–1,000+ mg/kg of polyphenols, compared to roughly 150 mg/kg in average grocery-store bottles. • Smoke point is not the right test for whether an oil is safe to cook with — free radical emission under heat is what actually matters, and olive oil emits far fewer than seed oils. • A bottle labeled "Italian" or "Greek" extra-virgin olive oil can still be a blend of residual oils from multiple countries and harvests, bottled together under one label. • Plastic packaging accelerates rancidity and can leach microplastics, so glass or tin with a visible harvest date is a stronger buying signal than the words "extra virgin" alone. • Fresh, high-polyphenol olive oil produces a peppery burn at the back of the throat — the same sensation researchers first mistook for ibuprofen contamination. • Cooking with avocado oil or genuine early-harvest olive oil, instead of canola or other seed oils, is a low-effort swap with a real anti-inflammatory upside. Listen to the full conversation for Katina's grocery-aisle checklist and her at-home smell-and-taste test — then subscribe so you never miss an episode. https://tinyurl.com/Essential-Ingredients-Podcast Meet Katina: Katina Mountanos is the founder and CEO of Kosterina, a premium Greek extra virgin olive oil and Mediterranean foods brand built at the intersection of taste, health, and transparency. Raised between New York and the olive groves of Koroni, Greece, Katina grew up knowing what truly good olive oil should taste like. After becoming a certified olive oil sommelier and uncovering the powerful health benefits of high–polyphenol extra virgin olive oil, she launched Kosterina as a passion project while working in consumer brands at Walmart. Today, Kosterina's early-harvest, cold-pressed, high-antioxidant olive oils, fruit-infused vinegars, and olives are nationally available at Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, and online, and are recognized for both exceptional flavor and rigorous quality testing. Grounded in the Mediterranean diet, Katina's work champions cooking at home, clean ingredients, and replacing inflammatory seed oils with olive oil to support heart, gut, metabolic, and overall health.

Large prime contractors that are locked out of small business set-asides need a small business subcontractor to even bid on certain federal opportunities, and a non-exclusive partnership lets one small business support several primes on the same deal. Ryan Atencio breaks down how consistent visibility with contracting officers and primes turns cold outreach into primes calling him first, even before his GSA Schedule was active. What you'll learn in this episode: Why non-exclusive partnerships let a small business subcontractor work with multiple large primes on the same opportunity without picking sides How a GSA Schedule creates a live opportunity feed so you stop missing federal work that drops without warning Why large businesses need a small business partner to even qualify for certain set-aside opportunities How partnering with a tribal 8(a) entity opens sole source contracts that are closed to everyone else Why offering first right of refusal to primes turns a one-way ask into a two-way business relationship Chapters: 0:00 - Why visibility and relationships decide who gets the call 0:00 - Missing a GSA opportunity before the schedule was active 0:00 - Why non-exclusive partnerships protect a small subcontractor 0:00 - What large primes actually want from a small business partner 0:00 - Using a woman owned small business to shape the statement of work 0:00 - Why a tribal 8(a) partner unlocks sole source awards 0:00 - Business development, capture, and sales as one discipline Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Primes généreuses, remises de peine, effacement de dettes : pour recruter massivement, Moscou utilise le levier financier et la promesse d'un statut de vétéran prestigieux. Une politique efficace mais coûteuse. Après plus de quatre ans de guerre en Ukraine et des centaines de milliers de morts, au bas mot, selon les estimations des chercheurs… le conflit a profondément transformé la société russe. Pour maintenir le rythme des recrutements dans l'armée, l'État mobilise tous les leviers : primes financières, salaires élevés, avantages sociaux… Moscou va même jusqu'à effacer certains casiers judiciaires. Dans une Russie appauvrie par les inégalités, un contrat pour aller se battre en Ukraine est donc synonyme d'ascenseur social. C'est particulièrement vrai dans certaines régions reculées, comme la Sibérie où s'est rendue Anissa el Jabri : entretien avec Anna Colin Lebedev, maîtresse de conférences à l'université Paris-Nanterre. En Irlande, les appétits chinois pour l'immobilier C'est un phénomène discret mais en pleine expansion : à Dublin, des investisseurs chinois, souvent très fortunés, rachètent à grande échelle des appartements et des maisons, parfois sans même les visiter. L'offre de visas dorés a beaucoup contribué au phénomène, mais même depuis qu'ils ont été supprimés, l'intérêt pour Dublin demeure, et il contribue à la flambée des prix. Clémence Pénard. La publicité télévisée pour la malbouffe bannie avant 21h au Royaume-Uni Pour lutter contre les dégâts de la malbouffe chez les jeunes, le gouvernement britannique interdit les publicités à la télévision, avant 21h, pour les aliments transformés, trop gras, sucrés, salés. Mais l'éducation à l'alimentation passe aussi par le contact avec le vivant : à Londres, une ferme urbaine est installée au bord de la Tamise. C'est là que notre correspondante Marie Billon a interrogé, petits et grands, sur cette mesure de prévention.

M93 is almost here, and apparently nobody remembered to lock the classified filing cabinet. In this episode of Talking Trek, DJz, Griffin, Tarpy and the crew break down a mountain of upcoming Star Trek Fleet Command information. Choice tokens are officially returning, the Mythic Battle Pass is disappearing, the 20-day Battle Pass format is coming back and Scopely appears to be reconsidering how it approaches progression, monetization and the game's troubled economy. We also dig into major Alliance Tournament changes, including partial packs for every specialty ship and upcoming $50 sourcing options for Athena and Borg Sphere parts. Is the Legendary Store rewarding enough? Should the caps on Primes and ship skins be removed? Are the rewards progressing quickly enough to remain relevant? The panel takes apart the current tournament structure and offers several ways it could improve. Finally, we preview M93's new Galactic Anomalies system. These rotating daily buffs and debuffs will appear across multiple systems, changing hostile combat conditions and encouraging players to experiment with crews, mitigation, barrier and damage strategies. M93 may be an Anthology arc built around returning content, but there are still several new mechanics and at least one ominous reason to keep your station shielded.

New data from Sounds Profitable's Advertising Landscape 2025 study shows that AM/FM radio Primes and podcast Primes have only a 1.4% overlap, challenging the idea that the two formats compete for the same audience. Tom Webster argues that sellers holding both types of inventory are offering two nearly non-duplicated engaged audiences in a single buy — a stronger combined asset than the competitive framing has allowed advertisers to see.The Alliance for Measurement in Podcasting (AMP), a 12-member industry task force organized by Oxford Road and including Spotify, SiriusXM Media, BetterHelp, DraftKings, and others, has publicly emerged after meeting since July 2025 to address podcast measurement and definition challenges. The group's three focus areas are standardizing impression metrics, developing cross-platform performance measurement, and agreeing on a universal definition of a podcast.A new Signal Hill Insights Pulse Report, conducted with FlightStory, finds that 45% of monthly podcast consumers in the U.K. have used a smart TV to listen to or watch podcasts in the past month, making smart TVs the second most-used device ahead of computers.

Subcontractor networking is one of the most misunderstood strategies in government contracting, and large GC cohort programs are the biggest reason why. In this episode, Eric Coffie breaks down what programs like the Turner Construction cohort are actually designed to do, and why expecting contracts from them sets small business owners up for disappointment. What you will learn in this episode: Why large general contractors run small business cohort programs and what their real incentive is How to reframe your participation in any cohort as a networking play rather than a pipeline to contracts Why your level of experience matters when deciding whether a cohort adds value to your business How community knowledge sharing reveals patterns that no single contractor would catch on their own The mindset shift every subcontractor needs before investing time in sponsored training programs EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Welcome to the Federal Help Center podcast 0:24 - Should you join a Turner Construction cohort 1:18 - What you actually get from GC cohort programs 2:32 - Using cohorts to build a subcontractor network 3:47 - Eric's experience with the Turner cohort in Tampa 5:00 - Getting into the pipeline for big prime projects 5:29 - The truth about who these cohorts really serve 6:07 - Final takeaway and community closing Market Intelligence gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

It is changing the unit economics of war itself — and those unit economics are an existential threat to the legacy defence-prime business model.The numbers are now well documented across CEPA, NATO assessments, Reuters, Business Insider, and the propelrc.com 2026 military drone cost study:- A basic Ukrainian FPV kamikaze drone: $400 to $800. Built from commercial components — many of them sourced from China through grey-market channels — assembled by soldiers, volunteers, or small companies.- A Lockheed Martin Hellfire missile: approximately $150,000 per round.- A US Patriot interceptor missile: approximately $4 million per round.- A Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter: approximately $80 million per airframe.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Understanding how government contracting market research really works is the edge that separates small businesses who win from those who wonder why they keep losing. In this episode, Eric Coffie sits down with a former Special Operations soldier who spent years inside the acquisition process, writing statements of work, managing COR responsibilities, and watching the biggest defense primes in the country run the playbook right in front of him. If you've ever submitted a bid and had no idea why you lost, this episode explains exactly what was happening behind the scenes. What you'll learn in this episode: How large defense contractors capture requirements before a solicitation ever goes public — and how small businesses can use the exact same strategy at their local DOD installation What "kitting" means and why you'll never beat the prime who invented the part number — understanding this one tactic will save you hours of wasted bidding on opportunities you can't win Why getting a quote is your first move in every government sale — and how showing up on-site positions you as the go-to vendor who gets called for everything How to work a military installation even while performing a contract — distributing capability statements, collecting emails, and building the relationships that turn into sole-source quotes Why ambiguous part numbers on SAM.gov are a signal, not an opportunity — learn to read what's already been captured so you stop chasing deals that were decided before they were posted EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Welcome to the Federal Help Center podcast 0:28 - Guest background in special operations acquisitions 1:24 - How DOD requirements get generated on military installations 2:22 - What kitting is and how defense primes use it to control bids 3:43 - Capturing the requirement before the solicitation hits SAM.gov 4:40 - How small businesses can profit from kitted part numbers 5:38 - Reading ambiguous SAM.gov listings and knowing when to walk away 6:34 - How to become the go-to vendor on a DOD installation 7:30 - Using on-site contract performance to build your customer network 8:00 - The special operations VTC system example and building your own kit 8:53 - Community call to action and episode close Market Intelligence gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Despite an increasing focus on SMEs, effective industrial mobilisation must also better harness the power of traditional defence firms. Andrea Thompson from BAE Systems explains how. The excitement in defence ministries about improving how they engage with dynamic and innovative small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is understandable but represents only a partial element of what is needed for industrial mobilisation. As Christian Broze explained in the previous episode, the traditional defence primes remain crucial actors and often have the capacity for mass that SMEs lack. Effectively engaging industry in the plans for growth of defence capacity that have been touted in defence reviews has to be multi-faceted, acknowledging the heterogenous nature of industry as a whole and responsive enough to accommodate the differences between distinct parts of the same enterprise. Andrea Thompson offers the perspective of a large defence prime, drawing on her experience as Group Managing Director for BAE Systems' Digital Intelligence. With a career spanning the UK and US, she has worked at Rockwell International, Rolls Royce and BAE Systems, including in BAE's F-35 and Eurofighter Typhoon programmes, and as the Chair of the Eurofighter Supervisory Board for the Eurofighter GmbH consortium. She was named in the Financial Times' UK Top 100 list of Most Influential Women in the Engineering Sector in 2019.
