☆ The $13 billion Omnicom-IPG megamerger reflects a new era as Big Tech and AI upend the ad industry

Omnicom and Interpublic Group plan a $13.25 billion merger that would create the world's largest ad-agency company. Industry insiders say the deal reflects an ad sector under threat from Big Tech and AI. Being big matters as the industry wrestles with disruption from the might of Big Tech players and the advent of artificial intelligence. The $13.25 billion all-stock deal would merge Omnicom's creative and media-buying agencies, such as BBDO and Omnicom Media Group, with IPG's McCann Worldgroup and Mediabrands. The research firm Forrester said last year that the rise of automation could lead to the loss of 33,000 jobs within ad agencies by 2030.

☆ What the Syrian rebellion could mean for the balance of power in the Middle East
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-07 | by ( Mostafa Salem | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +12 min

Syrian rebels have made a lightning advance in the north of the country, taking two major cities: Aleppo, the second biggest city, and Hama, a strategically important city that lies on a vital supply route. For Russia, Syria’s fall could mean losing its closest Middle Eastern ally and undermining its ability to project power while it fights a war in Ukraine. In 2023, the Syrian regime was readmitted to the Arab League. Over a decade after they backed the Syrian opposition, Gulf Arab states, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, are now siding with Assad as he once again faces a rebellion. SANA/ReutersIn Syria, Israel has consistently targeted Iranian personnel and supply routes used to transfer weapons to its proxies.

That won't happen for another 45 days, but Donald Trump, the president-in-waiting, isn't shying away from acting like the president-in-reality. This weekend, Trump will join French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris for the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral five years after it was devastated by fire. “Given the weakness of the current president and the speed at which things develop in the modern world, Trump is, in effect, a presumptive president,” said Newt Gingrich, a Republican former House speaker and a Trump ally. But Trump and a few of his predecessors haven’t hesitated to dip a toe into real-time crises if so moved. When President George W. Bush invited Obama to a meeting of world leaders devoted to the downturn, Obama declined.

☆ Syria's Assad can't count on Iran to stop the rebel offensive
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-05 | by ( ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

Since the early stages of Syria's bloody civil war that began in 2011, Iran has supported Syria's strongman president, Bashar Assad. Advancing in the face of Russian and Syrian airstrikes, they overran Syria's fourth-largest city, Hama, on Thursday. Earlier in the Syrian conflict, Iran helped orchestrate interventions on Assad's side by its powerful Lebanese proxy Hezbollah in 2013, and Russia in 2015. While Iran will undoubtedly remain committed to supporting Assad, it's unlikely to prove capable of organizing a 2016-style counteroffensive to recapture Aleppo. Century's Lund recalled that the last time Iran intervened to help Assad recapture Aleppo, it did so in close collaboration with Russia.

This season marks the first of the 12-team College Football Playoff format, meaning fans of more teams than ever have more skin in the game. In 2022, the university presidents who oversee the College Football Playoff voted to expand the postseason system that determines the national champion from four to 12 teams. "College football is a key cog in our portfolio, not only the sports portfolio but also our Disney platform portfolio.

☆ Tui flight aborted in midair after pilots missed cabin pressure error, investigation finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-29 | by ( Lianne Kolirin | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

CNN —A flight packed with vacationers had to be aborted in midair because a technical mistake meant the aircraft failed to pressurize. The investigation revealed that switches that regulate the air pressure inside the plane, known as bleed air switches, were turned off during maintenance work carried out on the air conditioning system before takeoff. The oversight was also not detected by the pilots, either before takeoff or during “after takeoff checks,” the report found. Once the error emerged, the pilots turned the switches back on but the report found that the crew failed to take other actions set out in the Quick Reaction Handbook (QRH) in response to the warning. It can also be the result of carbon monoxide poisoning or breathing in too much smoke from a fire.

☆ Are scented candles bad for you? What the science says

The risk of toxic emissions is greater when candles are scented or dyed, which is another reason why paraffin-free candles aren’t immediately in the clear. The association’s stance is based on an October 2021 study that consisted of burning 24 soy and paraffin candles, scented and unscented. However, the research was a joint effort between the NCA, the European Candle Manufacturers Association and the Latin American Candle Association. If you simply can’t resist using scented candles, look for those with essential oils or candles labeled as phthalate-free. When burning scented candles, do so in small doses to avoid headaches or irritation of the respiratory system or eyes.

His comments suggest he could be eyeing the $2 trillion F-35 program, and possibly other fighter jets, for potential spending cuts. In fact, the House's defense spending bill for the 2025 fiscal year called for more F-35s than what the Pentagon initially requested.

A 73-year-old man fell to his death Saturday morning after climbing out of the sixth floor window of his Manhattan home to escape a group of home invaders, police said over the weekend. One of the suspects entered the apartment in Washington Heights around 4:40 a.m. by climbing through a window, according to investigators. It was during the chaos of the robbery that the 73-year-old climbed out of the window in an apparent attempt to escape. He said he saw his friend climb out of the window and fall after getting out onto a small ledge to reach another window, and getting stopped by an air conditioner. The man was rushed to the hospital after the fall, but he later succumbed to his injuries and died.

Economists say Trump's proposals are a mixed bag; some could help housing costs and some could hurt. Ultimately, housing policy experts and industry leaders say housing costs will largely depend on how much new supply can be delivered to the market, which is suffering from a severe shortage of homes. Federal housing assistanceDuring his first term, Trump repeatedly proposed major cuts to housing assistance for households with low incomes or members with disabilities.
