1+ min ago (180+ words) While rain is predicted for the coming week, the amounts are not expected to significantly alleviate the dry conditions. WASHINGTON COUNTY, Fla. (WTVY) -Dry conditions continue to strain firefighter resources, including those in Washington County, Florida, where emergency crews responded to 11 fires on Friday, 11 of which were outdoors. "Along with the ongoing drought, the area is experiencing gusty winds and low humidity, creating an environment where fires can ignite easily and spread rapidly," Washington County Fire Services said in a statement. "Even the smallest ember or spark has the potential to develop into a fast-moving wildfire." It's not just the Florida panhandle that is suffering from a lack of rain. Other parts of the state, along with Alabama and Georgia, are parched. Many areas have burn bans in place. While rain is predicted for the coming week, the amounts are…...

It assumes CMs are already empowered within org structures that historically silo community beneath marketing or support. In reality, that seat at the table must be earned through data, diplomacy, and demonstrated business impact. That's 2010-era social metric speak. It doesn't capture product-community loops, retention value, or conversion funnels. There's no mention of LTV, NPS, or community-led growth metrics. We now think in terms of behavioral impact, network effects, and flywheel metrics. "Sentiment" and "growth" are surface-level; what matters is impact on activation, retention, and revenue. The manifesto would benefit from connecting measurement to specific business outcomes. Quote: "We must publish clear process, protocol and service level agreement (SLA)." Transparency and SLAs are good - but trust in communities isn't built by process documents; it's built through predictable, humane…...

The team at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney, Australia, found a drug combination that can bypass the cellular defenses these tumors develop that lead to relapse. The researchers first investigated why neuroblastoma becomes resistant to treatment. They studied lab-grown neuroblastoma cells and compared tumor samples from the same children at diagnosis and after their cancer returned. This allowed them to track changes that occur as the cancer develops resistance. They discovered that many standard chemotherapy drugs rely on the same cellular 'switch' called the JNK pathway, to trigger cancer cell death. In relapsed tumors, this switch has often stopped working, meaning treatments are no longer effective. Finding a way to overcome…...
