Lumos Diagnostics CEO Doug Ward joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the continued commercial expansion of the company's FebriDx rapid diagnostic test across the United States, highlighting growing adoption among major urgent care operators and health-system-owned networks. Ward said Lumos has increased the number of live FebriDx deployment sites to 215 urgent care locations across 26 states, up from 170 previously, as the company continues to gain traction with large healthcare providers. The rollout reflects growing recognition of the test's ability to support clinical decision-making for patients presenting with acute respiratory illnesses. At the same time, the number of sites actively evaluating FebriDx has expanded to 405 locations from 350, further strengthening the company's commercial pipeline. Lumos noted that two additional top-100 U.S. urgent care groups have advanced beyond evaluation and entered network rollout phases across more than 40 combined sites. The company is also working with two other top-100 urgent care operators that are currently conducting clinical and economic validation studies across more than 45 locations. These evaluations are designed to assess FebriDx's clinical effectiveness, reimbursement performance, workflow integration and overall health-economic benefits before broader deployment decisions are made. Ward explained that Lumos is strategically focused on the top 100 urgent care organizations in the United States, which the company estimates represent approximately 40% of all urgent care sites nationwide. To support this effort, Lumos employs a structured four-stage commercialization strategy that progresses from qualified opportunities through clinical and economic evaluation, network rollout and ultimately standardized adoption across provider networks. The company's current live network of 215 sites is estimated to serve between 900,000 and 1.2 million acute respiratory illness patient visits annually, creating a substantial opportunity for test utilization. Importantly, reimbursement coverage for FebriDx remains strong, with payment support exceeding 90% at approximately US$41.38 per test. One notable success story has been the expansion within WellStreet, which initially evaluated the test before increasing deployment to 44 locations. The successful rollout has created a pathway toward broader implementation across WellStreet's network of more than 165 urgent care centers. Meanwhile, the 405 sites currently undergoing active evaluation represent an estimated 1.6 million to 2.2 million annual acute respiratory illness visits, providing Lumos with a significant opportunity to further expand market penetration as additional healthcare organizations complete their validation programs. #proactiveinvestors #lumosdiagnosticsholdings #asx #ldx #otc #ldxhf #FebriDx #HealthcareInnovation #Diagnostics #RapidTesting #UrgentCare #HealthcareTechnology #MedTech #DigitalHealth #HealthcareStocks #BiotechNews #MedicalDevices #HealthSystems #PatientCare

The Ministry of Tourism, Investment, Commerce, Creative Industries, Culture and Heritage has begun rolling out its Creative Industries Grant. The program, announced in 2025, attracted nearly 1,000 applications and is intended to provide financial support to creatives while stimulating growth and activity within Saint Lucia's creative sector.

“You know, the Dr. Pepper jingle, a year ago, there was that jingle. So I'm not going to make any claims that the jingle itself isn't great. It's a great jingle. And I do think if you analyze it, there are a lot of ways you can dissect it to actually properly represent Dr. Pepper. But I do think that the main reason it became so viral and people are still linking it to Dr. Pepper is the roll-out strategy, even though it wasn't intentional. I believe she was an influencer or an Insta or a content creator on social media who recorded a song on her phone. And there was this whole thing. It went viral and they published it in the Super Bowl or whatever it is. But I really think it's the roll-out that made it so big.” – Sami El-QuqaThis week's guest is the founder and CEO of MusicGrid, a leading sonic branding agency serving brands across the GCC and wider MENA region. With over a decade of experience in the music industry, he blends creative expertise with strategic business insight to help organizations translate their brand identity into sound. A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Contemporary Music Composition and Production, he also holds a Master's degree in International Business Management, specializing in music licensing and intellectual property in the digital age.He's worked with over three hundred brands across government, financial, and commercial sectors, leading projects that position sound as a core driver of brand recognition and emotional connection, and he's contributed to copyright legislation in Kuwait while regularly participating in regional industry events as a speaker and advisor, shaping the future of sonic branding in the Middle East.His name is Sami El-Quqa, and in this discussion, we'll be discussing why sound is a brand's most unavoidable tool. He'll reveal how to cut through marketing noise, the psychology behind sounds we can't forget, and the secrets to blending cultural heritage with modern tech. Whether you're a CEO or a creator, you'll learn how to stop being just ‘seen' and finally start being heard.And if you like what you hear and you want to support this podcast, there are a bunch of ways to do that at audiobrandingpodcast.com, including subscribing to the YouTube channel, the newsletter, writing a review, or buying me a coffee. Because this takes a lot of coffee. Thanks so much.(00:00) – Sami's Early Memories of SoundAs our conversation starts, Sami shares an early memory of sound that helped spark his musical career. “There's a TV channel that, during Ramadan, would play this jingle,” he recalls. “It was called the NBC Ramadan jingle. And I'd say that's my earliest memory… of music that not just moved me, but music that I could attach to a specific calendar day on the year.” He tells us about his studies at Berklee and how he made the jump to music licensing, and how his father's advice helped convince him to focus on sonic branding in the Middle East. “He said, ‘You know what, this is a market that doesn't really have that. If you stay in the UK or if you go back to the US, it's a saturated market. You may not be really filling a gap there,'” Sami recalls his father telling him. “There's a need for culturally relevant Middle Eastern music or Saudi or Kuwaiti music, but there was nowhere to really find that.”(11:28) – The Secret to Creating Sonic IdentitiesSami tells us more about culturally authentic sonic branding in the MENA region vs the West, and his perspective as someone who's been on both sides. “Even Hollywood movies,” he says, “sometimes for us here in this region, when we watch a clip of a Hollywood movie and they're in the Sahara Desert, the music is often off. We call it Orientalist or Aladdinesque.” We talk about his early career in sound and how hiring an orchestra helped give a sonic brand launch an extra boost. “For the launch,” he explains, “they wanted something grand and prestigious. So we worked with an orchestra in Europe to record and film a launch film and a performance of that sonic identity…. people not only became more aware of the brand Trolley, but they are able to remember it more because of the launch film.”(20:16) – Blending Heritage with ModernityThe first half of our conversation comes to a close as Sami tells us more about the branding process and how it can change depending on the industry. “When we work in finance,” he says, “a lot of brands are looking to be digital first. That's a big initiative when it comes to finance, because their most important touchpoint is their phone app.” We discuss how each campaign's approach can depend on its region, and how the younger generation is increasingly blurring those geographical lines. “There's a large cultural influence everywhere from North America, from England,” he explains, “so often [being] modern means being attractive to the younger generation who doesn't only speak Arabic, but their second language is English, and they're also influenced by Western culture.”Episode SummarySami shares his early memories of impactful music and jingles.The process of developing sonic identities through client workshops.Sami discusses how to merge cultural heritage with modern soundscapes.Tune in for next week's episode as we discuss how Sami fused traditional and high-tech sound for the Kuwaiti Stock Exchange's sonic logos, his approach to implementing an effective branding strategy, and the dramatic changes he's seen in the audio industry just within the past seven years.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

In this essential update on the Renters' Rights Act,Simon breaks down the UK government's newly announced rollout of the Register Your Rental Property database, which will be introduced on a region-by-region basis across England starting December 2026.  From the £65-per-property fee and strict three-month compliance windows to the exhaustive list of safety records and tenancy details you must supply, this episode reveals what every property investor must know before they can legally market their homes. With local councils holding the power to issue civil penalties reaching up to £40,000 for non-compliance, you'll learn why letting agents cannot take full control of the process, how to prepare early across multiple regions, and how to protect your portfolio from severe enforcement action. KEY TAKEAWAYS Landlords in England must register themselves and their rental properties on a region-by-region timeline, kicking off in the West Midlands in December 2026 and wrapping up across the country by November 2027. Registration costs £65 per property, and active entries must be updated yearly or whenever tenancy, property, or safety certification details change. Failure to register or keep records up to date can trigger civil penalties from local councils starting at £7,000 and escalating to £40,000 for false statements or ongoing breaches. You cannot delegate the full process to a letting agent; property owners must initiate and complete the registration themselves before they can legally market any property. BEST MOMENTS "Once the database is in force, landlords and letting agents will not be able to market or advertise a residential property unless there's a valid landlord registration number and a property registration number." "I know of a landlord who just yesterday decided, 'Right, that's it, this is the final straw, I'm selling my properties because of this.' So this will be another thing that will push a lot of landlords over the edge." "Civil penalties can increase up to £40,000 where a landlord gives database false or misleading information, or for continuing breach of the obligations..." "Don't leave it to the end, because there might be certain bits of information you need to collect and gather; you don't want to be doing it on the last day."

Kaum ein Thema der Energiewende wird seit Jahren so intensiv diskutiert wie der Smart-Meter-Rollout in Deutschland. Trotz großer Erwartungen an Digitalisierung, Flexibilität und dynamische Stromtarife bleibt der Fortschritt hinter vielen europäischen Nachbarn zurück. Nun soll ein Smart Meter Light neue Dynamik bringen. Gemeinsam mit Dr. Carsten von Gneisenau (Stiftung Umweltenergierecht, SUER) und Dr. Erwan Taillanter (FfE) diskutieren wir, wo Deutschland heute steht, welche Anforderungen die EU vorgibt und welche Chancen, Herausforderungen und offenen Fragen mit dem Konzept eines Smart Meter Light verbunden sind. Warum ist das Thema so wichtig? Smart Meter gelten als zentraler Baustein der Energiewende. Sie schaffen die Grundlage für dynamische Stromtarife und eine flexible Steuerung von Verbrauch und Erzeugung. Gleichzeitig wird seit Jahren darüber diskutiert, warum der Rollout in Deutschland trotz hoher Bedeutung nur langsam vorankommt. Vor diesem Hintergrund gewinnt die Debatte um ein sogenanntes Smart Meter Light an Fahrt. Die Idee: ein vereinfachter und kostengünstiger Ansatz, der mehr Haushalten den Zugang zu intelligenten Messsystemen ermöglichen und den Rollout beschleunigen könnte. Doch welche Anforderungen bestehen auf europäischer Ebene? Wo geht Deutschland heute über diese Vorgaben hinaus? Und kann Smart Meter Light tatsächlich einen Beitrag zu einem schnelleren Rollout leisten oder entstehen dadurch neue Herausforderungen? Gemeinsam beleuchten wir die Hintergründe des deutschen Smart-Meter-Rollouts, werfen einen Blick auf die europäische Perspektive und diskutieren, welche regulatorischen, technischen und rechtlichen Fragen entscheidend sind. Unser Fazit: Der Bedarf an Digitalisierung im Stromsystem wächst stetig. Smart Meter spielen dabei eine Schlüsselrolle. Ob Smart Meter Light zum Beschleuniger des Rollouts wird oder ob andere Stellschrauben wichtiger sind, bleibt eine der spannendsten Fragen der aktuellen Energiewende-Debatte.   Link zum Reformpaket: Bundesregierung (2026): Ein Programm für Aufschwung und Beschäftigung Link zur Studie Zukunftspfad Smart Meter: FfE (2026): Zukunftspfad Smart Metering – Maßnahmen zur Beschleunigung des Ausbaus der  digitalen Messinfrastruktur in Deutschland  Urheber des Fotos von Erwan Taillanter © Enno Kapitza

The country's 10 mobile speed camera trailers have been vandalised at least 18 times since they were rolled out last September, according to new reports. Data shows that these cameras were graffitied 11 times, the trailers have been damaged at least six times - and there's been one incident of the tyres on a camera trailer getting slashed. Head of Driving Regulation at NZTA, Chris Rodley, says these camera trailers are deployed to make the roads safer and they've got an important job to do. "It is a real nuisance having the vandalism, but it's not affecting the deployment schedules too much. They're usually out for a day or two."

OpenAI unveiled GPT-6 Astra on the same day ChatGPT and Codex suffered a widespread outage lasting just over two hours. There is no evidence the outage was caused by Astra, but the timing was striking. OpenAI is describing Astra as a major step forward, with stronger agentic abilities, advanced cybersecurity capabilities, and what Sam Altman has called the potential to "actually invent new things in a way that matters," something he described as "a very AGI-like thing." Earlier OpenAI models also played a large role in supervising Astra's training, another indication of how AI is increasingly being used to develop the next generation of AI systems. NVIDIA is buying Hugging Face for $12.9 billion, strengthening its position in the open-source AI ecosystem just as some of its largest customers are developing their own chips. Jensen Huang says Hugging Face will remain open to competing models, clouds and hardware. Meta is attacking another part of the market with Muse Spark 1.3, offering frontier-level performance at dramatically lower prices than many major Western models. Its Contributor tier is even cheaper, although developers must allow Meta to use their prompts and responses for training. And LibreOffice 26.8 passed one million downloads in its first week, with one unusual selling point getting attention: no built-in AI. The Document Foundation summed up the mood in a post titled, "Yes, no AI is now a feature."

Throughout 2026, you cast your nominations for the FedScoop 50, and the results are in. Hundreds of top executives from across the government tech landscape are now up for vote to see who will be honored among this year's FedScoop 50. Voting is open now and runs through September 25. Make your voice heard to help us select who will be recognized on this year's list. One of those nominees in the prestigious Golden Gov category for this year is VA Deputy Secretary and currently acting CIO Paul Lawrence. Lawrence joined the Daily Scoop Podcast to discuss his top priorities in both roles, namely the continued rollout of the department's modernized electronic health record with Oracle. Sam Corcos, the Treasury Department's chief information officer who entered the federal government as a member of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, has taken on three roles within the General Services Administration. Corcos now serves as acting director of Technology Transformation Services, acting deputy commissioner for the Federal Acquisition Service, and acting assistant commissioner of Login-dot-gov, according to the GSA. “As a current federal agency CIO, Sam Corcos has led complex technology operations and worked across government to advance the President's technology priorities,” a GSA spokesperson told FedScoop. Before Corcos was made Treasury CIO in May 2025, he was co-founder of Levels, a health tech company. Since joining Treasury as a special adviser in March 2025, Corcos has sought access to government data and, according to Wired, made efforts to unify the API at the IRS. “The Trump Administration is focused on making government more effective, efficient, and responsive, and TTS will continue to be an important part of that effort. We are confident that Sam will help advance that mission,” the spokesperson said. Outgoing federal CIO Greg Barbaccia has led TTS since February and Greg Hogan has overseen Login-dot-gov since April. Lawmakers are pushing back on Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to equip in-the-field agents with gloves that deliver electric shocks. Members of the House Committee on Homeland Security sent a letter last week to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, urging him to intervene and halt the procurement. The signatories included Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the committee's top Democrat, as well as Reps. Luis Correa of California and Shri Thanedar of Michigan, ranking members of the Border Security and Enforcement, and Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability subcommittees, respectively. The representatives warned of the technology being “incorrectly used or abused by officers resulting in injury or death,” per the letter. In acquisition planning documents published earlier this month, DHS said it intends to invest up to $20 million into Compliant Technologies' Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter devices for Homeland Security Investigations officers and Enforcement Removal Operations agents. The contract is expected to be awarded later this year. “ICE is constantly assessing the needs of our officers in the field to ensure they have the tools and equipment necessary to safely arrest and remove criminal illegal aliens from our country,” a DHS spokesperson said in an email. “Every decision is made with careful consideration and appropriately reviewed to ensure that any technology ICE utilizes is consistent with all applicable law enforcement policies and standards.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

After years of notable resistance and stubborn reliance on its proprietary app, retail giant Walmart has officially thrown in the towel.

AI Is Going Great – or How ML Makes Money  01:40 Inference hooks: inline data loss prevention for Claude Enterprise  Anthropic launched inference hooks in beta for Claude Enterprise, providing inline data loss prevention across chat, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and other Enterprise surfaces through a single configuration point. Technical approach: every inference request routes through a signed WebSocket connection to a customer-controlled security server; Claude sends the prompt and context before generation begins and waits for an allow/deny verdict before proceeding. The same inspection applies to tool call responses, including those from MCP connectors, skills, and plugins. The feature uses an open, webhook-based protocol with a published schema, allowing integration with existing DLP vendors such as Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, and Zscaler, or custom in-house security servers, without requiring separate per-product integration work. Rollout controls include shadow mode (log without blocking), role-based exclusions, and percentage-based rollouts, along with configurable failure-policy tolerance and timeouts to match organizational risk requirements. This addresses a gap where inline enforcement was previously limited to Claude Code’s client-side hooks, giving compliance teams a unified enforcement layer for sensitive data across all Claude Enterprise channels.  Documentation is available

Novo Nordisk’s second-quarter earnings results this week were closely watched by analysts and investors eager to see whether the rollout of oral Wegovy could neutralize concerns about the pharma’s pipeline. Fierce spoke to Novo’s chief financial officer, Karsten Munk Knudsen, to dig into the figures, including the reasons behind the company’s decision to raise its full-year guidance and the launch of oral Wegovy across Europe. In the candid conversation, Knudsen also reflected on Novo’s “rollercoaster” journey in obesity, his approach to pursuing long-term growth for the company and why he’s “still optimistic” about CagriSema despite recent setbacks.

As teachers and students get ready to go back to school, Education Beat brings you this special repeat episode: With the expansion of transitional kindergarten to all 4-year-olds, California schools need smaller toilets, smaller sinks and a whole new understanding of the importance of play in the classroom. Think Play-Doh, finger painting, make-believe and dress-up. Some 4-year-olds also need help going to the bathroom and wiping afterward. But teachers — and principals — are not always educated about these aspects of early education, making the rollout of TK somewhat bumpy. In this episode, a TK teacher and our reporters discuss some of the challenges to making sure every California school is offering a high-quality early education tailored to 4-year-olds' developmental needs. Guests: Elyse Doerflinger, TK Teacher, Woodlake Unified School District Lasherica Thornton, Reporter, EdSource Read more from EdSource: Play, potties, preschool: TK for all Education Beat is a weekly podcast hosted by EdSource's Zaidee Stavely and produced by Coby McDonald.

This week, New York City sent letters to 17,000 homeowners who may have to pay a non-primary residence tax, or pied-à-terre tax, starting next year. The tax played a role in closing the city's budget deficit earlier this year and helped Mayor Zohran Mamdani deliver on his campaign promise of taxing the rich. But some city homeowners are blasting this week's notification rollout, calling it "sloppy." NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Bernadette Hogan break down the backlash. After that, the race for governor is on with less than 100 days until Election Day. The "Off Topic" team checks in on where things stand between candidates Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and what voters can expect as they prepare to head to the polls.

Send us Fan MailAlmost every company is rolling out AI right now, but far fewer have any idea how to actually adopt it.That gap is where leaders are getting caught. The pressure is to cut costs and move fast, so the message becomes "everyone start using AI" with almost no conversation about how. Meanwhile, your team is picking it up at completely different speeds, and the differences start showing up in trust, in communication, in who's actually still growing.In this episode, I'll cover:Spot the signal that someone's communication has quietly shiftedGet your team adopting AI together instead of at different speedsDecide what to delegate to AI and what to keep human on purpose
