Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment Darragh O'Brien has announced significant new funding of almost €35 million to further support local authorities as they continue to drive forward climate action in our communities. This funding underpins the continued commitment of Government to local climate action and recognises the key role of local authorities in supporting communities as we transition to a climate neutral economy. €35 million for climate action in communities €30 million START Scheme to support local climate action As part of the European Union's Just Transition Fund (EU JTF) programme, which is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the EU, €30 million is being provided to local authorities in the Midlands EU Just Transition Territory to support their local climate action. The new scheme, Supporting a Sustainable Transition through Climate Action for a Resilient Territory (START) will support Local Authority-led Climate Action Plan infrastructure projects and feasibility studies that align with the EU JTF programme. The types of projects that local authorities can submit for consideration under this closed call include but are not limited to: Renewable energy solutions, enhancing community engagement, promoting sustainability; Enhancing energy efficiency of public and community buildings; Active travel and sustainable transport; Transforming former landfill sites into tourism/recreational spaces, developing community/heritage spaces, enhancing public amenities. Additional €4.9 million for Local Authority Climate Action: A further €4.9 million is also being made to support Local Authority climate action across Ireland. This will break down as follows: The three Irish cities in the EU Climate Neutral and Smart Cities Mission – Cork, Dublin and Galway – will be able to access funding of €2 million next year. This will help the cities to deliver projects which move them to becoming climate neutral by 2030. A new fund of €1.5 million will be set up to assist local authorities with their Decarbonising Zones (DZs). DZs are spatial areas which have been selected by local authorities as the focus for climate mitigation, adaptation and biodiversity projects. There is a new €2.5 million European Regional Development Fund scheme for local authorities in the northern and western region. It offers funding for local projects in Decarbonising Zones on adaptation or the protection of biodiversity and green infrastructure. The Department is committing €1 million in funding. Climate Action Regional Offices (CAROs) will receive €2.4 million in 2026 – an increase of €400,000. The offices support local authorities to deliver climate action, helping them develop local climate plans and sharing best practice across the regions. These announcements follow a funding commitment at the end of 2025 of €26.9m to fund community climate action projects and a Community Climate Action Officer in each Local Authority to 2027. Commenting on the funding, Minister O'Brien said: "Our local authorities are the leaders in making sustainability at a community level a reality. Through the Community Climate Action Programme, hundreds of projects across communities have been and will be funded with the support of over €50 million from the Climate Action Fund from 2023 to 2027. I'm delighted now to announce, in addition, the launch of a new €30 million Just Transition scheme investing further in the Midlands, and to increased climate funding for local authorities in 2026 of almost €5 million. This funding demonstrates our commitment to local authorities and communities, supporting them to deliver the meaningful, place-based climate action required for their specific needs." Commenting on the launch of the START scheme, Clare Bannon, A/Director for Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly, said: "EMRA is looking forward to launching the START scheme which marks a transformative moment for the wider Midlands region. With this vital boost of investm...

Bridging the Gap: Integrating Marketing and Operations for Scalable Growth with Kasandra MurrayIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sits down with Kasandra Murray, the Founder and Owner of Unlucky Umbrella Studio, to discuss the critical intersection of lead generation and operational fulfillment. Kasandra shares her expertise on why even the most aggressive marketing campaigns are doomed to fail if a business lacks the back-end systems to support an influx of new interest. This conversation provides a strategic roadmap for entrepreneurs who are tired of "leaky buckets" in their sales funnels and are looking for actionable ways to align their teams, document their brilliance, and leverage technology without losing the human touch.Harmonizing Systems and Processes for Sustainable SuccessThe most common mistake high-growth businesses make is treating marketing and operations as separate silos, where one team focuses on "the hunt" while the other is left to deal with "the catch." Kasandra explains that when these two departments aren't in sync, the result is often a series of missed opportunities—calls go unanswered, follow-ups are delayed, and the customer experience becomes inconsistent. To solve this, leadership must view the customer journey as a single, continuous thread. By mapping every touchpoint from the first ad click to the final delivery, businesses can identify operational friction points and ensure that every dollar spent on marketing actually has a clear path to conversion and long-term retention.Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) serve as the backbone of this alignment, yet they are frequently neglected because they feel unglamorous or time-consuming to create. Kasandra advocates for a "progress over perfection" mindset, encouraging business owners to document their workflows in real-time rather than waiting for a quiet moment that never comes. Effective SOPs do more than just reduce errors; they empower the team to perform consistently and allow for rapid scaling when the marketing engine begins to hum. When knowledge is captured and processes are systematized, the business becomes less dependent on any single individual, creating a more resilient and valuable asset.As businesses look to automate these processes, the role of Artificial Intelligence has become increasingly prominent, though it requires careful management to avoid costly errors. Kasandra points out that while AI can handle repetitive tasks like initial sorting or data entry, it is not a total replacement for human empathy and problem-solving. A successful integration strategy uses AI to augment the team's capabilities, freeing up human staff for high-value, high-touch interactions. By piloting automated solutions internally before deploying them to customers, leaders can ensure that their technology enhances the brand experience rather than creating new barriers to connection.About Kasandra Murray: Kasandra Murray is the Founder and Owner of Unlucky Umbrella Studio, where she specializes in helping businesses optimize their operations and marketing alignment. With a background in streamlining complex workflows, Kasandra is known for her ability to spot operational bottlenecks that prevent companies from reaching their full revenue potential.About Unlucky Umbrella Studio: Unlucky Umbrella Studio is a boutique consultancy that focuses on business optimization through the integration of marketing strategy and operational efficiency.

What if one of the biggest predictors of falls, balance issues, and even athletic decline wasn't the hips, core, or knees, but the toes? And what if strengthening them could dramatically change outcomes as we age? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tom Michaud, a chiropractor, researcher, and internationally recognized expert in foot biomechanics, to explore how weak toes and poor foot function significantly increase fall risk in older adults and limit performance in master athletes. We discuss why foot and ankle health is often overlooked and how it serves as the foundation for balance, speed, and long-term vitality. Dr. Michaud breaks down findings from pivotal studies, including work by researchers like Karen Mickle and Max Piquet, highlighting the role of intrinsic foot muscles such as the flexor hallucis longus and peroneus longus in stability and dynamic movement. We also cover simple at-home tests to assess fall risk and practical exercises that actually improve foot strength. This episode is essential listening for clinicians, athletes, and anyone who wants to stay mobile, resilient, and active as they age.   Key takeaways: Weak toes are a primary predictor of falls in older adults, leading to serious injuries and complications. Enhancing toe strength through targeted exercises can significantly reduce fall risk while boosting athletic performance. Not all traditional foot exercises are effective - exercising the foot muscles in a lengthened position yields better strength gains. Proper assessment of foot architecture and the application of custom strengthening exercises can prevent injuries and improve dynamic performance. Diagnostic tests like the anterior fall envelope and paper grip tests offer valuable insights into an individual's fall risk and foot strength.   More About Dr. Tom Michaud:   In the early nineties, Williams and Wilkins published Dr. Michaud's first textbook, Foot Orthoses and Other Forms of Conservative Foot Care, which was eventually translated into four languages. His next book, Human Locomotion: The Conservative Management of Gait-Related Disorders, which was published in 2012, is used in physical therapy, chiropractic, pedorthic, and podiatry schools around the world. In addition to technical books, Tom also published a book for recreational runners: Injury-Free Running: How to Build Strength, Improve Form, and Treat/Prevent Injuries, now in its second edition. During his 40 years of clinical practice, Dr. Michaud designed and patented numerous diagnostic tools and exercise products to help with the evaluation and treatment of a wide range of sports injuries. Since his recent retirement from clinical practice, Tom is devoting his time to researching, writing, and designing new products in order to develop evidence-based evaluation and treatment protocols that can assist in not just the prevention of sports injuries, but also in ways to stay fit as we age.   Website Instagram Connect with me!

What if your heartbeat could help determine your dementia risk? The CAIDE dementia risk score has long helped clinicians estimate midlife risk for dementia using cardiovascular health factors, but its accuracy hasn't been equal across populations. New research suggests that integrating resting heart rate meaningfully improves predictive performance across most racial groups. In this interview, Dr. Newman Sze and Shakiru Alaka join us to dig into how and why resting heart rate enhances CAIDE's accuracy, what the data shows across different racial groups, and what this could mean for earlier, more equitable identification of dementia risk in both research and clinical settings.

Ash welcomes Nathan Strum from Abby Connect to discuss the evolving role of technology, especially AI, in enhancing the patient experience at dental practices. They break down the traditional functions of the front desk, highlighting the importance of both in-person and phone interactions, and the challenges associated with each—especially the common pain point of phone overload. They also discuss why separating in-person tasks from phone duties leads to better service and a less stressful work environment for dental staff. They also talk about the role of AI-powered and virtual receptionists, including their capabilities, advantages, and their current limitations when handling patient interactions and urgent calls. Compliance and HIPAA considerations for practices using these technologies are also discussed. It's clear that, rather than replacing human roles, AI is best used as a support tool to improve efficiency, help staff retention, and keep up with patient expectations in a competitive dental landscape. Nathan offers practical advice for practice owners and team members on vetting virtual receptionist services and stresses the importance of ongoing training and adaptability in adopting new technologies.

Have you ever fallen victim to a RAT attack? No, not the furry kind, a Remote Access Trojan attack.  I'm discussing how cybercriminals use social engineering to target victims, and the real-world impact these threats can have on your investment accounts and personal information. I reveal the latest tactics scammers use, and, most importantly, offer practical tips to help you recognize warning signs, safeguard your accounts, and minimize your risk, whether you're an individual managing your retirement nest egg or a business owner overseeing company assets.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] What is a RAT attack? [02:45] Avoid clicking unknown links. [06:28] Preventing fraud through active monitoring. [09:44] Enhancing network security strategies. [10:48] Tips for staying secure online. The Escalating Threat of RAT Attacks There are an estimated 2,200 cyberattacks every day, or one every 39 seconds. Global financial damages from cybercrime are projected to rise from $9.5 trillion (2024) to an estimated $10.5 trillion in 2025. It's no longer a matter of if, but when, the next attack will happen. How a RAT Attack Unfolds Most RAT attacks begin with "social engineering", that is, psychological manipulation designed to get you to act against your best interest. This can look like an email or text from what appears to be a trusted company (think Schwab, Amazon, or EZ Pass), urging you to click a link or download an attachment. Do not click these links or download unknown files, even if the message creates a sense of urgency or familiarity. Even a simple PDF can be the Trojan horse that installs malware without you noticing. Once delivered, the RAT malware quietly installs itself, evading your detection. It can come bundled with software downloads, or even through "drive-by" downloads, just visiting a compromised website can infect your device without any clicking at all. More Than Just a Headache Recently, cybercriminals hacked a client's phone and attempted to transfer money from their investment account. Because my team actively monitors accounts and receives real-time alerts from Schwab, we caught the fraudulent activity before funds were lost. But not everyone is so lucky, if hackers compromise your credentials and accounts aren't closely watched, money could be transferred out, leaving you to face a lengthy investigation to recover your hard-earned savings. Simple Habits for Preventing Attacks Most successful attacks don't involve sophisticated hacking, they leverage human error. Train yourself (and if you're a business owner, your staff) to recognize phishing emails and suspicious texts. Verify unexpected requests directly with the company, never through the provided links. Lock Down Access Implement "least privilege" access, using strong, unique passwords and two-factor authentication for every account. For investment platforms and email, enable notifications for any account activity, so you're alerted instantly to suspicious changes. Secure remote connections with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and avoid unsecured public Wi-Fi. If you must work remotely, use your cell phone's secure hotspot rather than free Wi-Fi at a coffee shop. And never log on to bank or brokerage accounts on shared or public networks. Monitor and Layer Security Constant vigilance is your shield. Regularly monitor account activity and set up a system of alerts. Layer your security by combining access controls, firewalls, and regular updates. Always verify new contacts or software installations, adopt a "zero trust" mindset: trust, but always verify. Stay One Step Ahead No single solution can prevent all RAT attacks, but a combination of awareness, good digital habits, and layered security makes a world of difference. Being informed is your best defense. Activate two-factor authentication, review your notifications and account alerts, and approach every digital interaction with a healthy dose of skepticism.

In this episode of the DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast, host Suzan Chin Taylor sits down with Shane Jacobson and Jacob Swanson, founders of Light Ring Inc., to explore a groundbreaking innovation improving manhole safety, visibility, and efficiency across the wastewater and utility industries.What started as a simple job site question — “Isn't there a better way to light a manhole?” — evolved into the Light Ring, a hands free lighting system designed by contractors for contractors.Shane shares his journey from operating a sewer maintenance company in Iowa to creating a multifunctional safety solution now used by municipalities, contractors, and utility crews nationwide. Together, Shane and Jacob explain how real world field testing transformed the Light Ring into far more than a light — becoming a safety barrier, tool protector, aerosol shield, and productivity enhancer.Throughout the episode, we discuss how the Light Ring improves job site safety, reduces confined space risks, prevents tool and nozzle loss, minimizes jetting aerosol exposure, and solves cold weather fogging challenges during CCTV inspections. Its bright safety orange design, non slip surfaces, raised edges, and quick release features make it a practical and OSHA compliant solution for underground infrastructure work.This conversation highlights how field driven innovation can dramatically improve worker safety, public protection, and operational efficiency.Key Topics Covered• The origin of the Light Ring and how it was invented• Hands free lighting for manholes and underground utilities• Improving safety beyond illumination• Preventing tool and nozzle loss• Reducing aerosol exposure during jetting• Solving winter CCTV fogging issues• Enhancing pedestrian and job site safety• Safety grant eligibility for municipalities• Additional Light Ring products including the Torch and Torch Light• Future innovations in utility safety equipmentConnect with Light Ring Inc.Website: https://lightringinc.comEmail: shane@lightringinc.comLinkedIn Shane Jacobson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shane-jacobson-8b149882/Company LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/light-ring-incI hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!Connect with Suzan Chin-Taylor, host of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast:Website: www.creativeraven.com | https://thetuitgroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeraven/Email: raven@creativeraven.com Telephone: +1 760-217-8010Listen and subscribe here to your favorite platform:Apple Podcast - Google Podcast - Cast Box - Overcast - Pocket Casts - YouTube - Spotifyhttps://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/ Subscribe to the Podcast:https://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/Be a guest on our show:https://calendly.com/thetuitgroup/be-a-podcast-guestCheck Out my NEW Digital Marketing E-Course & Coaching Program just for Wastewater Pros:https://store.thetuitgroup.com/diy-digital-marketing-playbook-for-wastewater-pros#WastewaterIndustry #ManholeSafety #UtilitySafety #CCTVInspection #JettingOperations #ConfinedSpaceSafety #InfrastructureInnovation #MunicipalUtilities #TrenchlessTechnology #SmellsLikeMoneyPodcast

As both a science and an art, acoustics can make or break the way a space functions. In this ICYMI article-read episode based on "The Art and Science of Acoustics," by Armstrong's Kenneth Wood, published on the interiors+sources website on Oct. 16, 2025, we break down the fundamentals of how sound behaves in interiors, why ceilings and plenums matter more than many teams realize, and how designers can align performance goals with real occupant expectations. You'll get a clear, designer-friendly tour of common acoustic metrics and a breakdown of how these numbers work together in the real world. The episode also outlines the four levels of speech privacy (from confidential to none) and offers a simple, best-practice framework—Absorb, Block, Cover (ABCs)—including a “good/better/best” approach to specifying ceiling and wall systems. If you design workplaces, healthcare, education, or any environment where focus and privacy matter, this one's a must-save. What you'll learn in this episode: The four ways sound moves through a space and why material choices drive outcomes Why ceilings are often the highest-leverage acoustic surface (and how plenums become sound highways) What NRC, CAC, STC, NIC, RT, PI, and SPC actually tell you (and what they don't) How to set the right speech privacy target for open plan vs. enclosed rooms The ABC strategy (Absorb/Block/Cover) and a “good/better/best” spec mindset

Send us a textRelationship-based marketing is not about sounding polished—it's about sounding human. In this episode, we break down what separates genuine relationship marketing from transactional “used car salesman” tactics, and why trust, consistency, and customer experience are the real growth levers.You'll learn how people make decisions when they feel valued, and why marketing becomes truly effective when you can apply data and insights to create relevance for the customer. We unpack why brands like Disney win at loyalty by engineering experience, not gimmicks—and why you don't have to know someone personally to build a relationship with them if your message is relatable, consistent, and authentic.The conversation also hits the credibility problem: when referrals are driven by money incentives, the relationship loses its meaning and your reputation takes a hit. Instead, we explore how to invest in clients as people—not just accounts—and how community-building (including conferences that bring practices together) creates network effects that drive real growth.Finally, we get tactical: funnel marketing vs relationship nurturing, how to use drip campaigns to build engagement over time, and why nurture marketing and drip sequences often perform exceptionally well in healthcare and medical practices. If you want a marketing approach that compounds—where trust turns into referrals, retention, and long-term revenue—this episode lays out the principles and the playbook.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!

The conversation centers on the evolving role of automation in Managed Service Providers (MSPs), particularly the implementation of human-in-the-loop AI systems. Mathieu Tougas, CEO of Mizo Technologies, emphasizes that while automation can significantly enhance efficiency—reporting a 26% increase in technician capacity and a 30% reduction in escalations—maintaining human oversight is crucial for ensuring service quality. This approach allows technicians to delegate low-value tasks to AI agents while focusing on higher-value customer interactions, thereby preserving the essential human element in service delivery.Tougas outlines the methodology behind these efficiency gains, which involves analyzing ticket resolution times before and after deploying Mizo's solutions. The data indicates that technicians can handle more tickets in less time, which can lead to reduced staffing needs without compromising service quality. He also addresses common misconceptions among MSPs regarding AI, particularly the fear of losing control over service quality when delegating tasks to automated systems. Instead, he argues that AI should be viewed as a tool to enhance technician capabilities rather than replace them.The discussion also touches on the importance of integrating AI tools into existing workflows without causing disruption. Mizo Technologies employs a two-week fine-tuning period to adapt its systems to the specific processes of each MSP, ensuring a smoother transition and minimizing the need for extensive retraining. This gradual approach allows organizations to build trust in the AI systems while optimizing their service desk operations.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the key takeaway is the necessity of balancing automation with human oversight to maintain service quality. As the industry moves towards greater automation, understanding the right contexts for AI deployment and ensuring robust processes are in place will be essential for maximizing efficiency and customer satisfaction. Embracing AI thoughtfully can lead to significant operational improvements while still addressing the critical need for human interaction in service delivery.

Craig Merrigan, Co-founder & CEO of Spotlight Solar, discussed his background in the solar industry and his decision to co-found Spotlight Solar, which creates aesthetic solar structures such as shade structures and solar trees. He explained that the company’s goal is to make solar technology more engaging and visible to foster its greater adoption. Craig highlighted that while solar had a positive image, its limited visibility, particularly in residential and commercial settings, hindered its wider adoption. Today on episode 309 of The Green Insider, Spotlight Solar offers two main products: The Haven Solar Shelter: a picnic table with a solar-powered shade canopy that charges devices and provides backup power. Solar Trees: large, sculptural solar installations for public spaces to promote renewable energy. Solar Trees are engineered for durability, able to withstand Category 5 hurricanes and flooding. Examples include 26 installations in Miami and a Haven Solar Shelter that survived major storm surges on Sanibel Island. Solar Trees use deep, reinforced concrete foundations, while Haven shelters require no underground work and can be set up quickly with minimal skills. These products are designed for public engagement and visibility, not just cost optimization. Solar Trees generate significant public awareness, with over 60 million annual impressions, and are often installed to showcase environmental stewardship. Both Solar Trees and Haven shelters generate 4–10 kilowatts of power, with some models including battery storage for power during outages. Installations are found in universities, public spaces, and military bases. Eight Haven shelters will soon be installed at a major international airport, with design considerations to minimize reflectivity. Future improvements to the Haven line are expected, including enhanced resilience and more outdoor furniture options.
