While some experts argue that NATO is essential for maintaining peace and security in the region, others believe that the alliance needs to be reformed to better reflect current geopolitical realities. President Trump's focus on financial contributions has brought attention to the issue of burden-sharing within NATO and has prompted some member countries to increase their defense spending in order to meet the 2% GDP target.
How many SEC teams are actually in playoff contention? Just three teams in the league have two or fewer losses after a . Does that mean the SEC is down to just three playoff possibilities? Or does a three-loss team have a shot? We wouldn’t write off the three-loss teams. Especially Texas A&M. The Aggies can get an automatic berth with a win over Texas and a win over Georgia in the SEC title game. And both Alabama and Ole Miss have wins over Georgia. However, we think there will be just three SEC teams in the bracket in Tuesday’s set of College Football Playoff rankings. Here’s how we think the bracket will look after getting . The Ducks were off in Week 13 and are the only undefeated team remaining at the top level of college football. Texas got a win over a Kentucky team that couldn’t make the most of any opportunities it had. Quinn Ewers suffered an ankle injury in the win and the Longhorns hope it’s minor heading into that big matchup with the Aggies. Miami did what it needed to against Wake Forest. A win in Week 14 puts the Hurricanes in the ACC title game against SMU. Ashton Jeanty eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark but also suffered what appeared to be a left ankle injury. Jeanty was able to return to the game, however, and Boise State survived Wyoming’s upset bid for a 17-13 win. The Sun Devils are in the best position of any team tied atop the Big 12. Arizona State has the tiebreaker advantage over everyone else and is in the Big 12 title game with a win over Arizona. The Sun Devils should also be the highest-ranked Big 12 team in the rankings on Tuesday night. Ohio State will stay at No. 2 in the rankings after , but it is stuck with the No. 5 seed at the moment. The Buckeyes will get a rematch with the Ducks for the Big Ten title with a win over Michigan. The Hoosiers are the main beneficiary of the chaos in the SEC. Had Alabama and Ole Miss gotten wins, it’d be easy to see the committee dropping Indiana from the field this week. Instead, the Hoosiers have to feel really good about their chances. A win over Purdue should be enough for a playoff berth. We think Notre Dame could jump ahead of Penn State in the rankings after . The Irish are a very complete team at the moment and have a nine-game win streak after their stunning Week 2 loss to Northern Illinois. SMU should find itself in the field for the first time after an easy win over Virginia that clinched a spot in the ACC title game. SMU is also on a nine-game win streak since its Week 2 loss to BYU. Here’s a situation to ponder: Does SMU get in as an at-large team at 11-2 if it loses to Miami in the ACC title game? The Nittany Lions got out of Minnesota with a 26-25 win. Like Indiana, Penn State will feel great about its playoff chances with a win over Maryland in the regular-season finale. Don’t start thinking about a rematch between the Vols and Bulldogs just yet. This is probably going to change. Georgia has clinched a spot in the SEC title game and will play either Texas or Texas A&M on Dec. 7. There are still a range of seeds for the Bulldogs. Tennessee was the biggest playoff beneficiary of the losses in the SEC. After falling outside the bracket a week ago, the Vols are back in and should make the playoff with a win over Vanderbilt.Despite the unexpected conclusion to Cai Guo-Qiang's fireworks show, spectators and art enthusiasts alike have lauded the artist for his innovative approach to blending technology with art.

Liverpool, the Champions' Choice: Salah Signs New Contract, Spurs Stand by PochettinoA coalition of Isese groups led by the Ose Meji Foundation has explained the reason behind their collaboration with the Oyo State Ministry of Environment to combat environmental pollution. While carrying out the cleansing of the polluted Osuntoki River in Olorunkemi community, Oluyole Local Government Area, the traditionalists explained that the cleansing was necessitated as a civic response to raise awareness about the pollution of water bodies and environmental sanitation. Speaking with journalists over the weekend, the founder of the Isese Renaissance Society, Ayinke Ifatoromade-Otaoti Adefemi, said: “This exercise is in response to a video that recently went viral on social media, which showed devotees performing traditional rites on an infant in the polluted river, generating criticisms from within and outside the Isese community and serving as a call to action.” According to her: “The fact-finding mission led us to this community, where we have learned about the waste disposal challenges faced by traditionalists and other residents in connection to this river. We reached out to the government, and we are grateful that they responded and supported this clean-up project.” “The incident has certainly reminded us that as traditionalists, we are closer to nature than others, and the sustainability of our environment is a major priority in our traditional belief system. Because Isese is not a dirty religion, our interest in preserving nature is permanent, and we are open to collaborations to move the grassroots in achieving these goals together.” Deputy Director, Environmental Health Services, Ministry of Environment, Basit Akorede, said that violations of environmental laws, particularly dumping refuse in unauthorised places such as roadsides, rivers, and burning refuse, attract a two-month imprisonment or an option of a N50,000 fine. He urged residents of the community and others to engage refuse contractors assigned to their communities to avoid outbreaks of diseases. The Chief Executive Officer of Alluvia Unique Concept, Adetunji Lam Adeshina, said the essence of the program was to sensitise people about proper solid waste management. Also in attendance during the cleansing exercise were the Otun Baale of Olorunkemi community, Oloye R Oloso, the Baale of Ekolo Compound Ibadan, Chief Sulaimon Ekolo, the Secretary of Ose Meji Foundation, Oluwo Faseyi Adedosu, the community priestess, Yeye Omitoyosi Osuntoki Olosun, representatives from Ona Owuro School of Ifa Studies, Ile Oloosa Merindinlogun, Ile Ijosin Ifa Abalaye Ofun Ika, Ifakolade Atinumo Foundation, Abule Isese Global, and Arire Ifa Foundation.

This is the season for California lawmakers to travel across the globe, some to lush beachside resorts with schmoozing lobbyists, at no cost of their own. A hand-selected group of elected officials spent the last few weeks traveling — gratis — to Hawaii, Vietnam and Taiwan to discuss big-picture policy ideas. But these trips continue to be criticized as “junkets,” because they are funded and attended by special interest groups. Lawmakers were condemned when, during the COVID-19 pandemic, at least 10 legislators went to Maui, Hawaii, when travel was highly restricted. “It’s not a good look,” said Sean McMorris, a program manager at Common Cause, which raises questions about trips bankrolled by special interest groups. He said that even when there are “rules and parameters” in place to limit lobbying activity, it’s “not easy” to monitor. “You’re kind of going on everyone’s word.” Lobbying is more than “just speaking to a legislator about your policy goals,” he said. “It’s also about ingratiating yourself, creating goodwill and essentially, to some degree, creating an implicit obligation that I’ve done something for you. It’s sort of relationship building but, in politics, that relationship building is more suspect.” This year, 12 officials traveled to Asia, including four state senators and five assemblymembers — most of whom sit on energy and transportation committees — and three state administration officials including Fiona Ma, the state treasurer. Together, they spent three weeks traveling to Taiwan and across northern and southern Vietnam, where they met with government officials, toured electric car plants and solar panel facilities and rode high-speed railways. They returned to California late Wednesday evening. Another small group of lawmakers went on a four-day trip to Maui, starting last Monday, and stayed beachside at the Fairmont Kea Lani Hotel, a luxury hotel in Wailea, where the average room for five nights is around $4,000. Dan Howle, executive director of the Independent Voter Project, a nonprofit that has hosted the Maui conference for 21 years, said they get a group discount which cuts the cost in half. They spent the mornings on panels discussing topics ranging from healthcare, energy, technology and public safety. Lawmakers are free to roam around the rest of the day and sit poolside along with lobbyists. “There’s so much animosity in Sacramento,” Howle said. “If we can get them away from the Capitol and to act normally, there’s a barrier that comes down that is hard to get in Sacramento.” The financial backers of the Maui event ranged from a variety of special interests including healthcare, technology and law enforcement. Some major donors from years past include AT&T, the California Retailer’s Assn., Walmart, Pfizer and the California Correctional Peace Officers Assn., according to donor disclosure forms that are available from the last three years. Howle declined to say how many legislators attended the trip, or what donors or lobbyists were involved this year, but referred to public disclosure forms that will be made public next April. Howle added that anybody who lobbies “is not invited back.” “Clearly, having this type of exposure and seeing these things... a legislator will be more well rounded, more educated and able to make better decisions on behalf of their constituents,” said Sen. Bill Dodd (D-Napa), who is termed out of the Legislature at the end of the month but had the chance to go to Asia after another lawmaker couldn’t attend. “We tend to say we’re the fourth biggest, the best economy in the world. But this is a big world we live in.” The goal, Dodd said, is “to see what other countries have that move the needle.” “Being in the Legislature is like drinking from a fire hose,” said Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City) chair of the Transportation Committee and a member of a subcommittee on climate, energy and transportation. Wilson said taking the time to step away from the Capitol and speak about policy lets them slow down and have more thoughtful discussions. “You get to have these deep conversations.“ Wilson said she hardly thinks of it as a vacation and was working from sunrise to sundown most days. The legislator also attended the Maui conference in 2022 and 2023, according to financial disclosure forms. She opted out of this year’s conference to attend the trip to Asia. “You do too much work on those trips to call them junkets,” she said. “I don’t know if people go for their own vacation. I get a lot out of them. “The official announcement has been made - "Suicide Squad" will be going on hiatus! The fourth season will be the final update for the popular mobile game, much to the disappointment of fans worldwide.As Klopp himself once said, "I'm not a dreamer, but I'm a big believer in a proper plan."

The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator' make gravity-defying theater debuts NEW YORK (AP) — “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” have debuted in theaters with a combined $270 million in ticket sales. Their worldwide performance breathed fresh life into global box office results that have struggled lately. Together the films turned the moviegoing weekend into one of the busiest of the year. Jon M. Chu’s lavish big-budget musical “Wicked,” starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, debuted with $114 million domestically and $164.2 million globally. Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II” is a sequel to his 2000 best picture-winning original and launched with $55.5 million in ticket sales. “Moana 2” is being released Wednesday, so it looks like Hollywood might be looking at historic sales over the Thanksgiving holiday. Trump's Republican Party is increasingly winning union voters. It's a shift seen in his labor pick WASHINGTON (AP) — Working-class voters helped Republicans make steady election gains this year and expanded a coalition that increasingly includes rank-and-file union members. It's a political shift spotlighting one of President-elect Donald Trump’s latest Cabinet picks: a GOP congresswoman, who has drawn labor support, to be his labor secretary. Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer narrowly lost her bid for a second term this month, despite strong backing from union members. They're a key part of the Democratic base but are gravitating in the Trump era toward a Republican Party traditionally allied with business interests. Trump raced to pick many Cabinet posts. He took more time to settle on a treasury secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump launched a blitz of picks for his Cabinet, but he took his time settling on billionaire investor Scott Bessent as his choice for treasury secretary. The Republican not only wanted someone who jibes with him, but an official who can execute his economic vision and look straight out of central casting while doing so. With his Yale University education and pedigree trading for Soros Fund Management before establishing his own funds, Bessent will be tasked with a delicate balancing act. Trump expects him to help reset the global trade order, enable trillions of dollars in tax cuts, ensure inflation stays in check, manage a ballooning national debt and still keep the financial markets confident. Trump chooses Bessent to be treasury secretary, Vought as budget chief, Chavez-DeRemer for Labor WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has chosen hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, an advocate for deficit reduction, to serve as his next treasury secretary. Bessent, 62, is founder of hedge fund Key Square Capital Management. He previously had worked on and off for Soros Fund Management since 1991. Trump also said he would nominate Russell Vought, 48, to lead the Office of Management and Budget, a position he held during Trump's first term. And Trump chose Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, an Oregon Republican, as his labor secretary, and Scott Turner, a former football player who worked in Trump’s first administration, as his housing secretary. Afraid of losing the US-Canada trade pact, Mexico alters its laws and removes Chinese parts MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico has been taking a bashing for allegedly serving as a conduit for Chinese parts and products into North America. Officials here are terrified that a re-elected Donald Trump or politically struggling Justin Trudeau could simply expel their country from the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement. Mexico's ruling Morena party is so afraid its has gone on a campaign to get companies to replace Chinese parts with locally made ones. And its legislators are consciously tweaking the wording of major laws to try to make them compatible with the trade pact's language. Mexico hopes the rules of the trade pact would prevent the U.S. or Canada from simply walking away. Australia withdraws a misinformation bill after critics compare it to censorship CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s government has withdrawn a bill that would give a media watchdog power to monitor digital platforms and require them to keep records about misinformation and disinformation on their networks. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said Sunday that the government was unable to drum up the support needed to pass the legislation. The opposition spokesman, David Coleman, said the bill “betrayed our democracy” and amounted to “censorship laws in Australia.” The bill would have granted the Australian Communications and Media Authority power over digital platforms by approving an enforceable code of conduct or standards for social media companies if self-regulation fell short. He'll be the last meatpacker in the Meatpacking District. Here's how NYC's gritty 'hood got chic NEW YORK (AP) — The last meatpackers in New York's Meatpacking District have agreed to end their leases early and make way for development on their city-owned lot. A third-generation meatpacker says he is ready to retire and he'll be proud to be there when the building closes. The closure date has not been set, but will mark the end of over a century of industrial life in the Meatpacking District. Starting in the 1970s, a new nightlife scene emerged as bars and nightclubs moved in. Today it's a hub for shopping, tourism, and recreation and only echoes of that grit remain. US budget airlines are struggling. Will pursuing premium passengers solve their problems? DALLAS (AP) — Delta and United Airlines have become the most profitable U.S. airlines by targeting premium customers while also winning a significant share of budget travelers. That is squeezing smaller low-fare carriers like Spirit Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday. Some travel industry experts think Spirit’s troubles indicate less-wealthy passengers will have fewer choices and higher prices. Other discount airlines are on better financial footing but also are lagging far behind the full-service airlines when it comes to recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most industry experts think Frontier and other so-called ultra-low-cost carriers will fill the vacuum if Spirit shrinks, and that there's still plenty of competition to prevent prices from spiking. What to know about Scott Bessent, Trump's pick for treasury secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has chosen money manager Scott Bessent, an advocate for deficit reduction and deregulation, to serve as his next treasury secretary. Bessent is a past supporter of Democrats who has become an enthusiastic supporter of Trump. He’s an advocate of cutting spending while extending the tax cuts approved by Congress in Trump’s first term. He has said tariffs imposed during a second Trump administration would be directed primarily at China.

The TikTok girlies may think they're the first to discover Bum Bum cream, but as with slip dresses, brown lipstick and crushes on wan men in tattered wool, us older ladies were there first. Bum Bum cream was one of the first products I fell in love with after moving to Los Angeles almost a decade ago, when my skin was super dry. I retested it recently for a story on the best body moisturizers, and I'm happy to report that it still lives up to the hype. This intoxicating lotion is whipped, which makes it feel like pillowy heaven on your skin. The scent is a light coconut vanilla that somehow smells like an expensive tropical vacation and not the dollar store sunscreen aisle.

This ultra-silky balm leaves behind a dewy finish plus it's beyond-amazing for smoothing the undereye area before applying concealer, to avoid makeup settling into fine lines. It's not just industry experts recommending you shop beauty appliances this month — I myself invested in this gold-standard at-home microcurrent device during Black Friday last year. It's a noninvasive way to tone and firm sagging skin on the face and neck — and, if used consistently (which, ahem, I’m guilty of not always doing!), it’s clinically proven to work. Plus, it's nearly $40 off on Amazon. Martha Stewart is a lady who loves facials. In fact, according to her , she's been getting the same one, at the same place — the — for 40 years. So it should come as little surprise that most all of her favorite skin care products are from the high-quality Mario Badescu line.

The award-winning product is made from collagen and kaolin clay and is meant to tighten, firm and bring moisture to parched faces, necks and even decolleté. Sunday Riley's Good Genes is one of the most effective beauty products I've ever tried, and this six-month supply will last you. Honestly, I like this skin rejuvenating serum so much, if I had to pick one desert-island beauty product (outside of ), it would be this. The lactic-acid treatment gently yet effectively exfoliates dull surface skin, promoting cell turnover and giving even the dullest, dreariest complexion a healthy, vibrant glow.

Since we lose moisture and elasticity as we age, the humectant hyaluronic acid, an ingredient which binds to water — and can hold a whopping 1,000 times its weight in water — is key to any quality . You'd be hard pressed to find a better hyaluronic acid serum than this award-winning version from Grace & Stella, especially at this discounted Black Friday price. I've been retesting eye creams to update our and, I have to say, I'm newly impressed with this version from Peter Thomas Roth. After three weeks of regular use, I found it minimized the fine lines under my eyes and had an immediate impact on my under-eye puffiness. No skin-care product will ever perform miracles, of course, but this eye cream helps smooth surface texture (the dreaded crepeyness!) on upper lids while improving the appearance of bags underneath. And at this moderate price point (not a total bargain, but still not ), it's an all-around win. Crest Whitestrips rarely drop in price unless it's a big sales event, and as far as we can tell, they haven't been much cheaper all year. Brighter smile, here you come (and for 45% off!).

It's won multiple awards, has over 56,000 five-star Amazon reviews and impresses most beauty editors I know. After using it the first time ( ), my face was noticeably dewier and other users have boasted about its ability to hydrate, repair and improve dullness in the skin — all of which helps wrinkles look less deep and crepey. When I tried it again this month, after a medi-spa laser treatment, I found it soothed and calmed my skin as it healed, lending a healthy sheen. Stubborn blackheads weirdly don't discriminate — they're often prevalent no matter if you're old or young. But these truly revolutionary patches help solve the problem fast, all while you sleep. Just apply, shuffle off to bed and let it do the hard work of clearing your pores while you sleep. In the morning, you'll be astonished when you see all the grime that was trapped inside. "Amazing" and "miraculous" are common themes among five-star reviewers. said, "I was amazed! It was slightly annoying to have on at night, but when I woke up, all of those problem blackheads on my nose were either gone or loosened up. ... The patch is easy to remove and doesn't hurt at all, like some of the other nose strips. I'm so impressed!" called it "Seriously an unexpected miracle. ... Pore strips have always pulled a few [blackheads] out, but mostly just left a white film behind. I applied this clear plastic patch and went to sleep. [In the morning] I could see that about 75% of my blackheads/sebum were gone." There are loads of pricey treatments and potions meant to decrease facial puffiness, promote collagen growth and improve the texture of aging skin, but the ancient art of face rolling is the easiest, least expensive and arguably the most relaxing. This high-quality jade roller and face massager tool set has over 27,000 five-star reviews and, right now, it's more than half off. This is the cream you want if you're, like, "I think tightening creams are BS but I also want to believe they are true because I currently hate my neck."
