Building on the recent launch of its “A Help Company” positioning and partnership with Cricket Australia, the campaign elevates its promise of helping Australians in more ways through valuable experiences. Throughout the Test Series, NRMA Insurance will celebrate community cricket and volunteers who help make the game happen by organising events at clubs around the country and giving away grants to local cricket clubs. This will be underpinned by Accenture Song’s fully integrated campaign, which will run on TV, digital, out of home and across social. Directed by Finch’s Alex Roberts, the film centres on a community cricket match and a local hero batter who receives support from his community. “At NRMA Insurance, we believe connected communities are more resilient,” IAG chief customer and marketing officer Michelle Klein said. “Local cricket is great for the community, and it’s been helping Aussies get to know their neighbours and pitch in together for many generations. “This summer NRMA Insurance is demonstrating its promise of help within the cultural context of sport, by fostering the kind of local connections that we know makes communities stronger.” Barbara Humphries , Accenture Song executive creative director, added: “We wanted to celebrate the community spirit that keeps these local games going, benefiting whole communities, beyond those holding a bat or ball. It’s a national partnership that turns up in a very local way, in the spirit of A Help Company.” In keeping with the launch of “A Help Company”, the campaign is once again accompanied by a reworked version of The Beatles’ famous song, ‘Help!’.

Valerie Bertinelli didn't know how she would 'get through' divorce but marks 'two years of freedom'A 9th telecoms firm has been hit by a massive Chinese espionage campaign, the White House saysBy ERIC TUCKER WASHINGTON (AP) — A ninth U.S. telecoms firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans, a top White House official said Friday. Biden administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies , as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technologies, told reporters Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks. The update from Neuberger is the latest development in a massive hacking operation that has alarmed national security officials, exposed cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the private sector and laid bare China’s hacking sophistication. The hackers compromised the networks of telecommunications companies to obtain customer call records and gain access to the private communications of “a limited number of individuals.” Though the FBI has not publicly identified any of the victims, officials believe senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures are among those whose whose communications were accessed. Neuberger said officials did not yet have a precise sense how many Americans overall were affected by Salt Typhoon, in part because the Chinese were careful about their techniques, but a “large number” were in the Washington-Virginia area. Officials believe the goal of the hackers was to identify who owned the phones and, if they were “government targets of interest,” spy on their texts and phone calls, she said. The FBI said most of the people targeted by the hackers are “primarily involved in government or political activity.” Neuberger said the episode highlighted the need for required cybersecurity practices in the telecommunications industry, something the Federal Communications Commission is to take up at a meeting next month. “We know that voluntary cyber security practices are inadequate to protect against China, Russia and Iran hacking of our critical infrastructure,” she said. The Chinese government has denied responsibility for the hacking.

By MARC LEVY HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania conceded his reelection bid to Republican David McCormick on Thursday, as a statewide recount showed no signs of closing the gap and his campaign suffered repeated blows in court in its effort to get potentially favorable ballots counted. Casey’s concession comes more than two weeks after Election Day, as a grindingly slow ballot-counting process became a spectacle of hours-long election board meetings, social media outrage, lawsuits and accusations that some county officials were openly flouting the law. Republicans had been claiming that Democrats were trying to steal McCormick’s seat by counting “illegal votes.” Casey’s campaign had accused of Republicans of trying to block enough votes to prevent him from pulling ahead and winning. In a statement, Casey said he had just called McCormick to congratulate him. “As the first count of ballots is completed, Pennsylvanians can move forward with the knowledge that their voices were heard, whether their vote was the first to be counted or the last,” Casey said. The Associated Press called the race for McCormick on Nov. 7, concluding that not enough ballots remained to be counted in areas Casey was winning for him to take the lead. As of Thursday, McCormick led by about 16,000 votes out of almost 7 million ballots counted. That was well within the 0.5% margin threshold to trigger an automatic statewide recount under Pennsylvania law. But no election official expected a recount to change more than a couple hundred votes or so, and Pennsylvania’s highest court dealt him a blow when it refused entreaties to allow counties to count mail-in ballots that lacked a correct handwritten date on the return envelope. Republicans will have a 53-47 majority next year in the U.S. Senate.

As demand for medical supplies surged, many firms struggled to keep up using outdated legacy systems—reliable but inflexible and unable to scale to meet unprecedented needs. It was during this challenge that Shanmukha Eeti, a visionary Data Architect, stepped in to lead and execute one of the most groundbreaking projects: revamping the backbone of a major medical supply company's operations. This re-engineering of the legacy platform not only resolved immediate operational bottlenecks but also laid a strong foundation for future digital ecosystems. Reviving the Heart of an Age-Worn System: From Legacy to Cloud For decades, mainframe systems have supported mission-critical operations across various industries. However, Shanmukha Eeti recognized that their long-term sustainability was compromised by an aging workforce and a shrinking talent pool. Their rigid architecture made scaling and modernization difficult. Faced with the challenge of managing an increasing volume of orders and the risk of operational obsolescence, Shanmukha identified an opportunity for transformation through a comprehensive system overhaul. This was not just a standard migration; the objective was to reimagine the entire order management process within a dynamic, cloud-enabled environment. The plan involved migrating essential data from the mainframe to a sophisticated cloud-based infrastructure, ensuring real-time data integrity and seamless coordination between transactional and analytical workloads. With Shanmukha's strategic choice of data integration tools and the implementation of AWS-based pipelines, the new system achieved sub-5-second data processing times—a significant leap in performance that set the platform far ahead of its legacy origins. Smarter Customer Interactions Enabled: Digital Front Office Reimagined One of the most significant outcomes of Shanmukha Eeti's re-engineering efforts was the creation of a new digital front office. The legacy mainframe system featured a complex interface and steep learning curve, making it challenging for customer service representatives to respond to inquiries efficiently. With Shanmukha’s new cloud platform, data could now be accessed and analyzed in real time, empowering front-line teams to handle customer calls with unmatched speed and precision. Tasks that once required navigating multiple screens and several minutes now took only a few clicks. This transformation reduced customer service interaction times by approximately 30%, boosting both operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Beyond the immediate impact, Shanmukha’s architecture laid the foundation for future innovations. The system's data accessibility and integrity opened up possibilities for AI-driven enhancements such as chatbots and virtual assistants, revolutionizing the way the firm interacted with and supported its customers. Masterclass in Technical Leadership: Leading Through Complexity More than anything, Shanmukha Eeti exemplified leadership through technical complexity. Migrating a legacy mainframe system to the cloud is a monumental task, requiring both deep technical expertise and strategic vision. Shanmukha meticulously planned the data pipelines, established robust governance structures, and upheld strict security standards—all while meeting highly ambitious performance metrics. Shanmukha’s approach was not just a technical solution but a comprehensive transformation that aligned technology with business goals. His work enabled the company to manage the unprecedented surge in demand effectively while creating a scalable and flexible platform poised for future growth and innovation. Beyond Migration: Setting New Benchmarks for the Industry The true legacy of Shanmukha Eeti's work extends far beyond the successful migration itself. He set a new industry standard with his approach, demonstrating how organizations can transition from monolithic, legacy systems to modern cloud environments without disrupting core operations. Shanmukha meticulously planned every aspect of the transition, prioritizing real-time data processing and leaving behind a blueprint for others to follow. His work underscored that modernization isn't merely about upgrading technology; it's about reimagining how technology can act as a catalyst for business transformation. About Shanmukh Eeti Shanmukha Eeti is a visionary Data Architect with extensive experience in modernizing legacy systems and designing cloud-based architectures. Renowned for transforming complex challenges into opportunities for innovation, Shanmukha excels at delivering data solutions that drive significant business impact. His expertise spans mainframe systems, cloud services, and cutting-edge data engineering tools. He has a particular passion for leveraging data to re-engineer traditional processes, aligning them with the demands of digital transformation.
Ex-PM Manmohan Singh’s demise: Punjab, Haryana declare 7-day mourning, the influential Atlanta rapper whose debut single, “ ,” was a landmark in mid-2010s trap, died yesterday (December 26) in a Los Angeles hospital, reports. He was admitted on December 12 after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head that appeared to be self-inflicted, according to . After two weeks in a coma, he went into critical condition and could not be revived. OG Maco was 32 years old. In shared on the rapper’s social media pages, OG Maco’s family wrote, “His life was a testament to resilience, creativity, and boundless love. Through his music, passion, and unwavering spirit, he touched so many lives and left a lasting impact.” “While we grieve this immense loss, we also celebrate the extraordinary life he lived,” the family continued, “one that will continue to inspire and uplift others. Maco’s influence, both as an artist and as a person, will remain forever etched in our hearts.” Raised on the south side of Atlanta, OG Maco casually made music in high school but became more invested a few years later, when a friend in the Atlanta music scene was killed in a shooting. Soon after, he co-founded the label and collective OGG (Originality Gains Greatness), making waves locally with early single “Road Running” and his raucous live shows. In 2014, OG Maco teamed up with another Atlanta rapper, Key!, for the EP. Its breakout single was “U Guessed It,” a freeform trap screed delivered in a tone of punk minimalism, foreshadowing the insurgency of rock aesthetics into trap later as the decade continued. “U Guessed It” became one of the first defining rap songs of the social media era, frequently excerpted and set to homemade sketches on Vine, sometimes held up by rap’s old guard as a symbol of the style-over-substance new sound. After it sailed into the Billboard 100, Maco released the mixtape and a self-titled EP, signing with Quality Control Music for a steady stream of short-form releases, as well as featuring on Diplo’s “ .” As his status grew, Maco spoke in interviews of the toll of managing fame while friends and family members died around him. “I’ve got, like, show, show, funeral, show,” he told in 2014. “It’s always something that’s happened that can make me angry. So I pull from it. But because I can rap, it’s not just pure yelling. It’s formatted, but it’s really just my pure emotion.” In 2016, Maco was that left him with multiple skull fractures, a broken eye socket, cracked vertebrae, and heart palpitations, as well as visual impairment that doctors were eventually able to treat. In the days after, he joked, “My plastic surgeon says I can’t get any uglier so fixing my face should be easy.” Despite his injuries, he released two more projects that year for Quality Control and continued to self-release music the following year, including his long-delayed debut album, . Maco survived another health crisis in 2019, when routine skin treatment went awry, leaving him with a flesh-eating bacterial disease. As he received extensive treatment, his output dramatically slowed, before his return, in 2022, with one of his final singles, “ .”:Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) chief coordinator Seeman, who came under a barrage of attack in social media for calling on superstar Rajinikanth after having abused him earlier, is said to have actually sought advice on joining hands with the BJP in the next elections as he was unable to prevent the large scale migration of cadre to the new Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) of actor Vijay. While the Tamil social media launched a vituperative attack on Seeman on Saturday by reproducing old videos of him berating against Rajinikanth and asking him how he could reconcile to the idea of ‘outsider,’ a label that he himself had given the superstar, the rumour mills started whirring on his exploring the possibility of joining hands with the BJP at the Thursday night meeting in Poes Garden. Since his party had not won a single election since 2016 when it started contesting elections in the State with a vow to only go it alone in the polls, Seeman is said to be worried about his political future and started looking for possible allies. Given his strident Tamil nationalist stand, inconsistent positions and acrimonious speeches, no political party wanted to align with the NTK, it is learnt. When Vijay launched his party, a hopeful Seeman cheered him for his bold venture but turned against him after his moves to latch on to the new party was spurned. Then, as the new party started attracting the NTK cadre with some incidents of Seeman openly spewing venom on members accentuating the situation, he met Rajinikanth. The meeting primarily was to seek Rajinikanth’s guidance on the future course of action for the NTK and Seeman is said to have asked if the party’s prospects would improve by striking an alliance with the BJP since both the parties shared a hatred for the DMK. He is said to believe that through that alliance he might be able to win a few seats that would remove the stigma of being a complete loser and prevent disillusioned cadre from looking for prospects elsewhere. Though it is not clear as to what Rajinikanth’s advice was, Tamil YouTube channels went for Seeman’s jocular, trolling him for his political somersaults and open turncoat moments with one channel even listing out the pro-BJP stands taken by him in the past to drive home the point that he was always a supporter of the BJP. Among the instances recalled were Seeman vehemently supporting a former State BJP leader, K T Raghavan, when he was caught in a sex scandal exposed through a sting operation, forcing his ouster from the party, and Seeman opposing the incarceration of actress Kasthuri for speaking ill of women belonging to a linguistic community recently. Regular detractors of Seeman in YouTube like Vijayalakshmi, who claims to be his first wife, too, accused him of going with a begging bowl to Rajinikant after failing to get any alms from Vijay.

FAQs Black Friday launches on Nov. 29, one day after Thanksgiving, this year in the United States. Black Friday was once just a 24-hour event, but now, the sales event carries on for days. You will likely see the best deals from Nov. 29 to Dec. 2. Cyber Monday falls on Dec. 2, 2024. This post-Black Friday event often includes new deals on tech. Apple products are rarely on sale throughout the year. While we like to list deals with at least 20% off the typical RRP, Apple promotions won't always have such steep discounts. However, you can still find some great deals on Apple iPads, iPhones, accessories, and more during Black Friday. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are very similar, but they differ in terms of timing. Black Friday launches on Nov. 29, 2024, while Cyber Monday -- which always falls on the Monday straight after Black Friday week -- will launch on Dec. 2. The days in between are often called Cyber Week. This year, we're expecting many deals to hold through Black Friday and Cyber Monday -- but if you see something you want to pick up, we'd recommend doing so sooner rather than later, in case the deal does expire or the product goes out of stock. Deciding between the Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 10 depends largely on your needs. The SE is an excellent budget pick, especially for just $149 on sale. It's our pick for the best Apple Watch for first-time buyers and kids. Meanwhile, the Series 10 is our pick for the best Apple Watch for most people, with its advanced health sensors and safety features, and great battery life -- and it still has a nice discount for Black Friday. We're seeing strong Apple deals at Walmart (particularly on Apple Watches), Amazon (particularly on MacBooks), and Best Buy this Black Friday. Check multiple sites to price compare. The Apple Store does offer student and educator discounts , and military and veteran discounts . However, these wouldn't apply to Apple products purchased outside the Apple Store. At ZDNET, we only write about products we like or want to buy, and we endeavor to let you know about every deal we find that we believe offers great value. Our deal-hunting experts look for deals that are at least 20% off retail price, when possible, but we also highlight deals for products that are rarely on sale, such as Apple devices. We consider customer reviews and our own hands-on product experience and conduct extensive research to ensure we only recommend the best deals. We aim to help you shop smarter and get the best return for your money. You can enjoy the in-store Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales at major retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Target. However, in recent years, many shoppers have opted to make their purchases online, with Amazon becoming one of the top retailers to visit. What are the best Black Friday 2024 deals?
