Over the years, the National Roads and Motorists’ Association (NRMA) developed a siloed data environment. In order to rethink its data strategy, the NRMA partnered with Informatica to adopt a single data platform strategy and integrate all its data and applications on Google Cloud. The result? A remarkable 10X increase in productivity.
By embracing a cloud-driven data strategy, see how the NRMA achieved:
Georgia residents will start Thursday under a muggy sky with thick cloud cover, as warm tropical air brings unseasonably humid conditions and scattered showers across the state.
🌧️ Why It Matters: The stubborn humidity and warm temperatures, unusual for November, are a direct result of a stalled weather front stretching across the Southeast. This front will continue to keep skies overcast and bring persistent moisture, impacting outdoor plans and leading to a damp, sticky end to the week.
🌥️ What’s Happening: The tropical moisture will keep much of the state cloudy with occasional breaks. Here’s what to expect:
• Morning temperatures are unseasonably high in the 60s, reaching the upper 70s by afternoon.
• Scattered light showers may develop throughout the day, with the humidity holding steady well into the evening.
🌡️ Looking Ahead: The pattern remains stuck until the weekend, with no immediate weather changes. Here’s how the forecast plays out:
• Friday and Saturday will stay humid, cloudy, and warm due to the stalled front.
• By Sunday, a stronger cold front could help push the boundary north, leading to more showers statewide.
🌞 Veterans Day Relief: Clearer skies and cooler, seasonal weather are likely after Monday as the front moves out, finally bringing sunshine by Tuesday.
🌀 Hurricane Rafael Update: Rafael intensified to a Category 3 hurricane before making landfall in Cuba. The storm is currently in the Gulf of Mexico, but experts say that the stalled front across the Southeast will help steer it southward, keeping it well clear of Georgia. Rafael is expected to weaken as it drifts over the Bay of Campeche by the weekend.

Zimbabweans Mock Mbare Chimurenga Choir as They Lament Their Struggle to Secure Funds to Record New Music
The infamous music group Mbare Chimurenga Choir is facing online trolling and ridicule after news surfaced that they have fallen on hard times.
The once-popular group, known for their revolutionary songs and energetic dance moves, bemoaned how they are now struggling to find money to record new music.
In an interview with Citizen Voice Network, members of the Mbare Chimurenga Choir opened up about their financial struggles and shared that they no longer receive invitations to perform at music galas.
Reflecting on past experiences, one group member recalled how, back in the day, they used to get invited to perform at nearly every gala in Zimbabwe. She mentioned how the ministry would arrange hotel accommodations for them and would ensure they had all they needed. Now, however, they claim they no longer get invited to perform at most events.
The music group also lamented how they no longer have the funds to record new music.
Rather than sympathizing with their situation, social media users mocked Mbare Chimurenga Choir, questioning what exactly they want to record. Many argued that the group should simply remain in obscurity and that there is no need for them to make a comeback.
Netizens asserted that the music group’s time in the spotlight has long passed and that people are no longer interested in their songs and dance moves. Some even suggested that they seek employment, return to their rural homesteads, or focus on family responsibilities like farming or looking after grandchildren.
Here are some of the reaction

During Election Day 2024 in the United States, AEW star Kamille gave her public thoughts on the topic of abortion via an Instagram story…
“If the baby inside a woman isn’t a ‘human being’ then what is inside of the womb? A baby is a human being at the moment of conception. Science shows a literal spark of light, called a zinc spark, that happens at the moment of conception. At that moment, a human being has been created. There’s no way around it. It is the miracle of LIFE.
And a human beings worth isn’t dependent on location. A baby that’s current location is inside a stomach is no different than one that’s location is outside of it. People want to talk about ‘viability’ when a baby at one month old still relies on constant care and nurturing and wouldn’t survive on its own, so don’t even try with the ‘parasite’ argument. A one-month old is still RELYING on the mother to live.. Would you call that child a parasite?!! Would you kill it because of that?!! Oh wait.. there are laws against that cuz the baby has a new location now, a residence we’ve deemed ‘worthy’ of life.
And since when is someones usefulness or uselessness an okay reason to commit murder?!? WAKE UP people. It’s sick.”
