EU leaders will also meet Ukraine’s president to discuss governance reforms, visa-free travel, and a stalled EU-Ukraine trade deal, in what is likely [to be a morose summit]. Happy Thanksgiving!

Martin Schulz is returning to Germany to stand for parliament for the Social Democrats (SPD) in the state of North Rhein-Westphalia.

Chinese travel booking site CTrip purchased its Scotland-based counterpart for [$1.74 billion]. CTrip already dominates the domestic Chinese market through [ownership stakes in its rivals], and its latest purchase gives it a stronger presence overseas. ThyssenKrupp was “cautiously optimistic.” The German industrial conglomerate came in under analysts’ estimates, posting a 4% decline in net profit [to $312 million] (paywall) for the fiscal year.

Costa Rica and Nicaragua braced for Hurricane Otto. Costa Rica [declared a national emergency], and both countries have called to evacuate thousands as the Category 1 storm traverses Central America. It has killed at least [three people in Panama.] Quartz obsession interlude Lily Kuo on life aboard the Chinese fishing boats dominating West Africa’s seas. “China is now the largest fishing power in West Africa, home to more than 500 Chinese industrial fishing fleets in seas once dominated by Russian and European operations, according to Greenpeace.

The new MacBook Pro fails to provide the [flexibility, power, and battery] life that designers need. Makeup doesn’t need to be moralized. A “serious intellectual person” [can care about his or her appearance], argues writer and Boots beauty ambassador Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Our slavish devotion to clocks is hurting us. Using the [natural rhythms of daylight and darkness] might help us deal with time more effectively. Surprising discoveries Another ancient city has been discovered in Egypt.

Many farmers [believe] there’s no viable way to organically farm the popular Thanksgiving fruit. Ukraine’s newest minister is 24 years old.
