Image credit: X (Twitter) Xiaomi India has launched a special out-of-home (OOH) advertising campaign for its latest Redmi Note 14 5G series. The campaign, which uses a combination of CGI and live action, highlights the durability of the smartphone. These billboards have been placed in prominent locations in multiple cities across the country including -- Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. What Xiaomi is promoting with this campaign Placed at iconic locations of Connaught Place in Delhi and MG Road in Bengaluru, Marine Drive in Mumbai and Charminar in Hyderabad, the campaign highlights the durability of the Redmi Note 14 series smartphones in extreme conditions. In this campaign, the company used a mix of CGI and live-action to showcase the phone’s toughness. The videos open with a CGI-enabled smartphone popping out of the billboard which takes the actors by surprise and escalates further when a real smartphone falls on the ground. One of the videos also created anxiety among the actors who feared that the smartphone run over by a vehicle would not withstand the extreme conditions, but it did. Various meme pages, influencers, and marketing pages have also taken the campaign to their social media, discussing the phone's durability features, including its Flagship Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 & IP68 Water Resistance along with a 6,200mAh battery. The smartphone is now available for purchase across all retail stores and online. What the company said about the campaign Talking about the campaign, the Director of Marketing at Xiaomi India, Suraksha R, said: “With the Redmi Note 14 5G Series, we wanted to go beyond traditional product launches and engage our audience, giving them a first-hand experience of the product’s durability and strength. We wanted to get creative with our approach to showcasing the features of our product. With this dynamic and innovative campaign, we have combined the virtual world with reality to offer a reliable companion in the Redmi Note 14.”

Report: UCF HC Gus Malzahn to become Florida State OC
MLC’s kin abducted from Hadapsar, found murdered 12 hrs later 45km awayOfficials in Forest Lake, which has been without a permanent city administrator since January, are going back to the drawing board after the candidate they hoped would take the position backed out. Aaron Reeves, deputy director of public works and business operations for Boulder County, Colo., and former city administrator in Hudson, Wis., was offered the city’s top spot earlier this month, but decided not to accept. Reeves is currently a finalist for the city administrator position in Red Wing. The council has now interviewed eight candidates during two different search sessions since deciding almost a year ago to part ways with then-City Administrator Patrick Casey, who had served in the city’s top post since 2018. “I continue to believe that there are great candidates out there and that (Forest Lake) continues to be a great opportunity,” Mayor Mara Bain said. “We just need to match the two.” The Forest Lake City Council met in an emergency session on Nov. 5 to decide whether to pursue the only other finalist, Shawn Metcalf, the former city administrator in Hastings, Neb. After agreeing to bring Metcalf in for a second interview, the council later decided to cancel that meeting, said council member Blake Roberts, who won the mayoral election on Nov. 5. Metcalf left his position in Hastings after he was placed on paid administrative leave in September because of “a confidential personnel matter,” according to an article published Sept. 6 in the Hastings Tribune . “We were just in a tough spot,” Roberts said. “He wasn’t our first person to begin with. We contemplated maybe doing an additional interview with him, which would have been via Zoom, and then there was some additional information that came forward. ... He already came to us with a little bit of some history that we weren’t 100 percent sure of. We decided to not move forward with any additional interviews with him and really, I guess, go back to the drawing board, if you will.” The council has created a subcommittee – consisting of Roberts, council member Hanna Valento, city attorney Amanda Johnson and search consultant Karl Amlie – to “review the current landscape, discuss current options and bring recommendations back to the council,” Bain said. The council has interviewed eight candidates during two different search sessions since deciding almost a year ago to part ways with then-City Administrator Patrick Casey, who had served in the city’s top post since 2018. “We’re willing to do the work to make sure we have the right fit,” Bain said. “We want to make sure we have the right individual. It’s a challenging market. It’s incredibly tight. We know that there are other communities that have had similar situations.” Interim administrator in, then out of running At the same meeting where the council voted unanimously to terminate Casey’s employment contract, the council voted to hire former Lake Elmo City Administrator Kristina Handt as interim administrator and interim clerk. That vote came after a closed session to discuss Casey’s annual performance evaluation. Handt quickly emerged as a top candidate for the position, and the council voted to pause the general search process and proceed with an expedited review of Handt, who was pursuing other job opportunities at the time. Handt later dropped out of the running, saying she had realized the city “wasn’t the right fit for (her) at this time,” but stayed on as interim city administrator. The uncertainty of Handt’s candidacy “created confusion in the marketplace,” Bain said. “We pivoted midway to accommodate the schedule of another community, and she was on an expedited process for a while, and then she was a candidate, she wasn’t a candidate. She had an interim administrator hat on. Is she part of the process, not part of the process? How viable of an opportunity were we for other candidates? It was confusing for other candidates in a very competitive environment. We weren’t seen as a certain viable opportunity against other communities.” In June, Forest Lake officials announced they had six finalists for the city administrator position . A month later, city officials said they had scrapped the search and parted ways with David Drown and Associates, the search firm originally hired to help find the next city administrator.

The firm came up with a list of three finalists that included Handt , who decided to reapply for the job. Also on the list were Metcalf and Jon Radermacher, former city administrator in Little Falls. Radermacher later withdrew his name from consideration after being named city administrator of Cannon Falls. In September, the Forest Lake City Council voted to dismiss Handt following a closed meeting to discuss “allegations or charges against an individual subject to its authority.” In response to a Data Practices Act request, city officials said this week that one complaint was filed against Handt. The status of the complaint is closed and no disciplinary action was taken, city officials said. Her name also was withdrawn from the city administrator search. New interim administrator City Clerk Jolleen Chaika, who has been with the city since April, is serving as interim city administrator until a permanent city administrator is hired. The council also appointed a subcommittee, consisting of Bain and council member Leif Erickson, to oversee and guide Chaika in her appointment as interim city administrator. Roberts said city administration is in good hands for the time being and that he is optimistic a new city administrator will be hired soon. “I know a lot of people probably think that maybe there’s some dysfunction and the council isn’t able to make some decisions here, but to be quite honest with you, I think the majority of the council wants to make sure that we take the time and not hire someone to just fill the seat,” he said. “We want to find the right person.” As a member of the subcommittee charged with helping with the search, Roberts said he has been personally reaching out to potential candidates. “It’s good to have deep conversations with these people to explore, like, ‘Hey, is this a good fit for you? Is it a good fit for Forest Lake? And if so, let’s move forward,’” he said. One potential candidate Roberts has been talking to withdrew his name from consideration during an earlier search – before the names of the finalists were made public – because he was concerned about the outcome of the Forest Lake municipal elections and he did not want to risk his situation at his current city, Roberts said. “At that point, (Handt) was still part of the process,” he said. “It seems as though when you have an interim administrator, a lot of times they end up in that full-time position because they’re a known entity. ... With her still in the picture, he thought, ‘Well, I’m already coming in with one hand tied behind my back, so he opted out.” Bain said Monday that she wishes the council had not “reversed course” for Handt earlier this year. “At the time, we all felt that that was the right thing we needed to do,” she said. “It’s challenging to have a timeline focused on a single candidate, and doing so makes you less attractive to other candidates that were potentially out there. It creates a confusing environment for candidates. Related Articles Politics | New $40M bridge planned over St. Croix River at Osceola Politics | Calling all punsters!

Being named a finalist means your name is public. You have to be fairly certain that you’re wanting to move forward. Nobody wants to be the also-ran if they believe that the decision is already made, and I think we were inadvertently signaling to the world that we were more decided than we were.” In the meantime, Chaika, the current interim administrator, has “no desire to keep the job full-time,” Roberts said. “We’re just really fortunate to have her and her willingness to take on this role and really help us through this process,” he said. “Hopefully, this could be done and we could have someone in place by the middle of January. That’s the goal.”
Biden will decide on US Steel acquisition after influential panel fails to reach consensus WASHINGTON (AP) — A powerful government panel has failed to reach consensus on the possible national security risks of a nearly $15 billion proposed deal for Nippon Steel of Japan to purchase U.S. Steel. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States on Monday sent its long-awaited report to President Joe Biden, a longtime opponent of the deal. Some federal agencies represented on the panel were skeptical that allowing a Japanese company to buy an American-owned steelmaker would create national security risks. That's according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. Both Biden and President-elect Donald Trump opposed the merger and vowed to block it. Nippon Steel says it is confident the deal will go ahead. Nissan and Honda to attempt a merger that would create the world's No. 3 automaker TOKYO (AP) — Japanese automakers Nissan and Honda have announced plans to work toward a merger that would catapult them to a top position in an industry in the midst of tectonic shifts as it transitions away from its reliance on fossil fuels. The two companies said they signed an agreement on integrating their businesses on Monday. Smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors agreed to join the talks. News of a possible merger surfaced earlier this month. Japanese automakers face a strong challenge from their Chinese rivals and Tesla as they make inroads into markets at home and abroad. What a merger between Nissan and Honda means for the automakers and the industry BANGKOK (AP) — Japanese automakers Honda and Nissan will attempt to merge and create the world’s third-largest automaker by sales as the industry undergoes dramatic changes in its transition away from fossil fuels. The two companies said they had signed a memorandum of understanding on Monday and that smaller Nissan alliance member Mitsubishi Motors also had agreed to join the talks on integrating their businesses. Honda will initially lead the new management, retaining the principles and brands of each company. Following is a quick look at what a combined Honda and Nissan would mean for the companies, and for the auto industry. Survey: Small businesses are feeling more optimistic about the economy after the election A survey shows small business owners are feeling more optimistic about the economy following the election.

An analyst looks ahead to how the US economy might fare under Trump WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump won a return to the White House in part by promising big changes in economic policy — more tax cuts, huge tariffs on imports, mass deportations of immigrants working in the United States illegally. In some ways, his victory marked a repudiation of President Joe Biden’s economic stewardship and a protest against inflation. It came despite low unemployment and steady growth under the Biden administration. What lies ahead for the economy under Trump? Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics spoke recently to The Associated Press. The interview has been edited for length and clarity. American consumers feeling less confident in December, Conference Board says American consumers are feeling less confident in December, a business research group says. The Conference Board said Monday that its consumer confidence index fell back in December to 104.7 from 112.8 in November. Consumers had been feeling increasingly confident in recent months. The consumer confidence index measures both Americans’ assessment of current economic conditions and their outlook for the next six months. The measure of Americans’ short-term expectations for income, business and the job market tumbled more than a dozen points to 81.1. The Conference Board says a reading under 80 can signal a potential recession in the near future.

Televisions are one of the few electronics categories that offers regular, predictable sale seasons throughout the calendar year. With Black Friday being one of the most prominent. Big brands like Sony, LG, and Samsung usually have their biggest discounts during the holiday shopping season, but it's not uncommon to also find summer sales on high-end TVs as well as budget-friendly models from TCL and Hisense. In terms of which day will have the best TV deals, in the past, we've seen TVs typically have the better deals on Black Friday. Since prices fluctuate throughout the long weekend, if you see a big drop, we'd recommend picking it up quickly before it goes out of stock. You can check sites like CamelCamelCamel to see price histories. On Friday, Nov. 29, the FBI issued a warning advising consumers to stay diligent during the Black Friday shopping weekend. The organization gave tips on browsing the web for deals, including checking each website's URL to make sure it's legitimate, don't click any suspicious links or attachments in emails, on websites, or on social media, and checking your credit card statement regularly to spot any suspicious transactions. And, when in doubt, if a deal from a random website seems too good to be true, it probably is. Black Friday is prime time for scammers and resellers. Each deal on this list has been vetted as being sold and shipped by reliable retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. I've also avoided ultra-budget brands like Onn and Vizio, as the discounts are negligible at the time of writing, and these brands don't offer the same quality TVs as even TCL or Hisense. ZDNET's resident TV experts have tested and researched dozens of models from just as many brands, and we all agree that the Samsung S95D OLED is the best TV you can buy right now. With an updated OLED panel for a more lifelike picture, a 120Hz refresh rate, object tracking sound, and a dedicated gaming dashboard with cloud gaming support. Based on the OLED TVs we've tested , we've found that they offer better picture quality, including higher contrast, truer color accuracy, and deeper blacks than QLEDs. However, what works best for you might depend on your viewing environment and individual needs. For more details and advice on how to choose which is right for you, check out our full OLED vs. QLED explainer . Once you've hammered out a budget for your next TV, there are a few other important factors to consider: Brand integrity: It's tempting to pick up that ultra-cheap TV during a sale event from a no-name brand. But you may end up paying more to replace it in a few years (or months) if it was built with cheap components or stops receiving over-the-air firmware updates. No matter which brand of TV you choose, make sure that the company offers industry-standard return and exchange policies as well as clear options for customer service. Smart features: Not all smart TVs are created equal, with premium options from brands like LG and Sony offering OLED panels for incredible picture quality as well as quality-of-life features like built-in voice controls and pre-loaded suites of streaming apps. Make sure the TV you have your eye on has all of the smart features you need to keep up with your favorite shows and movies. Reasons to upgrade: It seems like every year, TV brands refresh their model line-ups. Sometimes, those refreshes introduce cool new options like Samsung's object tracking sound and cloud gaming support. Others are more subtle upgrades like improved QLED panels and speakers or new app support. Before you drop a whole paycheck on a new TV, make sure it offers enough reasons to upgrade to make it worth the price. ZDNET's experts have been searching through Black Friday sales live now to find the best discounts by category. These are the best Black Friday deals so far, by category: Best Black Friday deals Black Friday phone deals Black Friday TV deals Black Friday laptop deals

Televisions are one of the few electronics categories that offers regular, predictable sale seasons throughout the calendar year. With Black Friday being one of the most prominent. Big brands like Sony, LG, and Samsung usually have their biggest discounts during the holiday shopping season, but it's not uncommon to also find summer sales on high-end TVs as well as budget-friendly models from TCL and Hisense. In terms of which day will have the best TV deals, in the past, we've seen TVs typically have the better deals on Black Friday. Since prices fluctuate throughout the long weekend, if you see a big drop, we'd recommend picking it up quickly before it goes out of stock. You can check sites like CamelCamelCamel to see price histories. On Friday, Nov. 29, the FBI issued a warning advising consumers to stay diligent during the Black Friday shopping weekend. The organization gave tips on browsing the web for deals, including checking each website's URL to make sure it's legitimate, don't click any suspicious links or attachments in emails, on websites, or on social media, and checking your credit card statement regularly to spot any suspicious transactions. And, when in doubt, if a deal from a random website seems too good to be true, it probably is. Black Friday is prime time for scammers and resellers. Each deal on this list has been vetted as being sold and shipped by reliable retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. I've also avoided ultra-budget brands like Onn and Vizio, as the discounts are negligible at the time of writing, and these brands don't offer the same quality TVs as even TCL or Hisense. ZDNET's resident TV experts have tested and researched dozens of models from just as many brands, and we all agree that the Samsung S95D OLED is the best TV you can buy right now. With an updated OLED panel for a more lifelike picture, a 120Hz refresh rate, object tracking sound, and a dedicated gaming dashboard with cloud gaming support. Based on the OLED TVs we've tested , we've found that they offer better picture quality, including higher contrast, truer color accuracy, and deeper blacks than QLEDs. However, what works best for you might depend on your viewing environment and individual needs. For more details and advice on how to choose which is right for you, check out our full OLED vs. QLED explainer . Once you've hammered out a budget for your next TV, there are a few other important factors to consider: Brand integrity: It's tempting to pick up that ultra-cheap TV during a sale event from a no-name brand. But you may end up paying more to replace it in a few years (or months) if it was built with cheap components or stops receiving over-the-air firmware updates. No matter which brand of TV you choose, make sure that the company offers industry-standard return and exchange policies as well as clear options for customer service. Smart features: Not all smart TVs are created equal, with premium options from brands like LG and Sony offering OLED panels for incredible picture quality as well as quality-of-life features like built-in voice controls and pre-loaded suites of streaming apps. Make sure the TV you have your eye on has all of the smart features you need to keep up with your favorite shows and movies. Reasons to upgrade: It seems like every year, TV brands refresh their model line-ups. Sometimes, those refreshes introduce cool new options like Samsung's object tracking sound and cloud gaming support. Others are more subtle upgrades like improved QLED panels and speakers or new app support. Before you drop a whole paycheck on a new TV, make sure it offers enough reasons to upgrade to make it worth the price. ZDNET's experts have been searching through Black Friday sales live now to find the best discounts by category.
