CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY—This year’s National Science, Technology, and Innovation Week (NSTW) focused on advancements to promote a green and sustainable circular economy through science, technology, and innovation (STI) as it opened in this city on November 27. With the theme “Siyensya, Teknolohiya, at Inobasyon: Kabalikat sa Matatag, Maginhawa at Panatag na Kinabukasan” with the sub-theme “Providing Solutions and Opening Opportunities in the Green Economy,” it showcased over 100 technology exhibits, 30 technical fora, pitching sessions, and career talks. “This year’s event is a bold declaration that [STI] are not just centered in the nation’s capital. We are here in Cagayan de Oro City, proving that regional growth is fueled by the dynamic force of STI,” said DOST Secretary Dr. Renato U. Solidum Jr. in his keynote speech. The five-day event highlighted the innovative contributions of Filipino scientists, engineers, and researchers to the growth of science and technology in the country. The Science chief emphasized the need to involve local government units (LGUs) in STI initiatives, noting that scientific community partners would welcome the chance to highlight and showcase their innovations in the regions, rather than just in the National Capital Region (NCR). ‘Bagong Pilipinas’ campaign; AmBisyon Nation 2040’ Solidum pointed out the critical role of STI as catalysts for advancing national development and enhancing the quality of life for Filipinos. He said that this aligns with the administration’s “Bagong Pilipinas” campaign and the long-term goals outlined in “AmBisyon Natin 2040.” “Our future depends on how effectively we harness the power of STI to create a nation where every Filipino experiences progress, prosperity, and security,” he said. The Science chief illustrated how each of the values—Matatag, Maginhawa and Panatag—are realized through investments in STI. A Matatag society is where families thrive, communities are resilient, and trust in governance is strong. Through DOST’s Community Empowerment through Science and Technology program, STI interventions uplift marginalized sectors At the same time, Maginhawa, where there is a comfortable life for all, free from poverty, the DOST’s Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP) is turning this vision into reality by supporting over 9,000 MSMEs, creating 316,000 jobs, and injecting P8.7 billion into the economy. In a country highly vulnerable to natural hazards, Panatag—secure and protected from disasters—is a top priority. Its agencies— Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, Astronomical Services Administration and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology—play a vital role in safeguarding communities with cutting-edge technologies. The state-of-the-art Doppler radars and seismic stations to the innovative GeoRisk Philippines app provide real-time data that enhance disaster preparedness, mitigate risks, and save lives, Solidum said. He also outlined eight major R&D programs for 2025 to address critical challenges in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. These include the AI Virtual Hub, Geospatial Analytics Solutions, Quantum Computing, and Industry 4.0. The programs also prioritize fostering circular economy, promoting smart agriculture, advancing smart technologies, and innovating biologics in the pharmaceutical sector to drive innovation, enhance sustainability, and bolster the country›s competitiveness in the global market. Addressing challenges, empowering communities For her part, DOST Undersecretary Maridon Sahagun, for Scientific and Technical Services said: ”We reaffirm our commitment to bringing [STI] closer to this region to address various challenges, tap into growth potentials, and empower communities, all while pursuing a green and circular economy.” Sahagun said the five-day event highlighted the DOST’s efforts in four key areas: promoting human well-being, fostering wealth creation, ensuring wealth protection, and advancing sustainability. The featured technologies and activities address critical challenges in areas such as climate change, agriculture, and environmental conservation, offering timely and appropriate solutions to pave the way for sustainable development. Sahagun, also the chairman of the 2024 NSTW-Steering Committee, emphasized the cutting-edge technologies and S&T products at the center stage during the five-day event. The Human Well-Being Technologies initiative delved on critical challenges in health, education, and accessibility included groundbreaking innovations. They are the Immersive Gamification Technology System (ImGTS) for dementia care, Intelligent Stroke Utilization, Learning, Assessment, and Testing (i-Sulat) for early childhood assessment, Ensayo for empowering visually impaired individuals, and nutrition-focused solutions like the Enhanced Nutribun. The Wealth Creation Technologies aim to boost industries and livelihoods through initiatives like Advanced Manufacturing Center for advanced 3D printing; sustainable Silk and Natural Dyes Hubs; SAFEWATRS for mobile water purification; and commercialization programs like Galing and Technicom that support Filipino innovators. Meanwhile, Wealth Protection Technologies enhance disaster resilience with tools like Impact-Based Forecasting, SatREx, and AI-powered systems, such as SkAI-Pinas; while education-focused projects like Resilient Education Information Infrastructure for the New Normal (REIINN) bridge digital divides to strengthen community preparedness. Sustainability efforts led by DOST-Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development include innovative solutions such as the Remote Online Surveilance for Banana (Rosanna) app for banana disease monitoring; ACTICon biopesticide for sustainable pest control; and the eco-friendly Pest to Feed technology, complemented by biodiversity education tools for environmental stewardship. ‘Need to change the way we do things’ Solidum added that, with support from national government agencies and LGUs, the Science department will persist in deploying technological solutions on the ground and implementing innovative, tailored interventions, as sticking to the status quo is no longer an option. “We need to change the way we do things, and we need to start sooner,” the Science secretary said, adding that current data suggests an unstable global trajectory. He pointed out that while technology and innovation are essential in driving production, wealth creation, and job opportunities, they also come with a shared responsibility—with conscious, intentional, and accountable management of both production and consumption. Endless pursuit of growth, he noted, has consequences. The development and progress achieved over recent years have come at the cost of the environment that the society continues to pay. He recalled that in recent weeks, the country, particularly Luzon, has faced an unprecedented surge of four typhoons within a span of 10 days, marking a record-breaking intensification of the Pacific typhoon season, according to the science secretary. “The impacts have been devastating,” he added, with the agriculture sector, which supports millions of Filipino families, hit hard. Data from the Philippine Statistics Authority reveal that the combined agricultural losses from six typhoons in the third quarter of 2024, along with Severe Typhoon Kristine, amounted to P15.8 billion, while damage to infrastructure, homes, and other assets is estimated at P9.6 billion. “These repeated losses threaten not only our farmers’ livelihoods but also our nation’s food security and economic stability,” Solidum said. “Filipinos are often portrayed as victims of disasters, but through science, technology, innovation, and collaboration, we can rewrite this narrative,” Solidum said. “Let us redefine disaster resilience not only as surviving but also as building economic strength and prosperity in the face of adversity,” he said. The 2024 NSTW was attended by various stakeholders, including LGUs’ representatives, startups, enterprises, legislators, executives, students, and the general public.LAS VEGAS (AP) — Formula 1 on Monday at last said it will expand its grid in 2026 to make room for an American team that is partnered with General Motors. “As the pinnacle of motorsports, F1 demands boundary-pushing innovation and excellence. It’s an honor for General Motors and Cadillac to join the world’s premier racing series, and we’re committed to competing with passion and integrity to elevate the sport for race fans around the world," GM President Mark Reuss said. "This is a global stage for us to demonstrate GM’s engineering expertise and technology leadership at an entirely new level.” The approval ends years of wrangling that launched a U.S. Justice Department investigation into why Colorado-based Liberty Media, the commercial rights holder of F1, would not approve the team initially started by Michael Andretti. Andretti in September stepped aside from leading his namesake organization, so the 11th team will be called Cadillac F1 and be run by new Andretti Global majority owners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter. The team will use Ferrari engines its first two years until GM has a Cadillac engine built for competition in time for the 2028 season. Towriss is the the CEO and president of Group 1001 and entered motorsports via Andretti's IndyCar team when he signed on financial savings platform Gainbridge as a sponsor. Towriss is now a major part of the motorsports scene with ownership stakes in both Spire Motorsports' NASCAR team and Wayne Taylor Racing's sports car team. Walter is the chief executive of financial services firm Guggenheim Partners and the controlling owner of both the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers and Premier League club Chelsea. “We’re excited to partner with General Motors in bringing a dynamic presence to Formula 1," Towriss said. "Together, we’re assembling a world-class team that will embody American innovation and deliver unforgettable moments to race fans around the world.’’ Mario Andretti, the 1978 F1 world champion, will have an ambassador role with Cadillac F1. But his son, Michael, will have no official position with the organization now that he has scaled back his involvement with Andretti Global. The approval has been in works for weeks but was held until after last weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix to not overshadow the showcase event of the Liberty Media portfolio. Max Verstappen won his fourth consecutive championship in Saturday night's race, the third and final stop in the United States for the top motorsports series in the world. Grid expansion in F1 is both infrequent and often unsuccessful. Four teams were granted entries in 2010 that should have pushed the grid to 13 teams and 26 cars for the first time since 1995. One team never made it to the grid and the other three had vanished by 2017. There is only one American team on the current F1 grid — owned by California businessman Gene Haas — but it is not particularly competitive and does not field American drivers. Andretti’s dream was to field a truly American team with American drivers. The fight to add this team has been going on for three-plus years and F1 initially denied the application despite approval from F1 sanctioning body FIA . The existing 10 teams, who have no voice in the matter, also largely opposed expansion because of the dilution in prize money and the billions of dollars they’ve already invested in the series. Andretti in 2020 tried and failed to buy the existing Sauber team. From there, he applied for grid expansion and partnered with GM, the top-selling manufacturer in the United States. The inclusion of GM was championed by the FIA and president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, who said Michael Andretti’s application was the only one of seven applicants to meet all required criteria to expand F1’s current grid. “General Motors is a huge global brand and powerhouse in the OEM world and is working with impressive partners," Ben Sulayem said Monday. "I am fully supportive of the efforts made by the FIA, Formula 1, GM and the team to maintain dialogue and work towards this outcome of an agreement in principle to progress this application." Despite the FIA's acceptance of Andretti and General Motors from the start, F1 wasn't interested in Andretti — but did want GM. At one point, F1 asked GM to find another team to partner with besides Andretti. GM refused and F1 said it would revisit the Andretti application if and when Cadillac had an engine ready to compete. “Formula 1 has maintained a dialogue with General Motors, and its partners at TWG Global, regarding the viability of an entry following the commercial assessment and decision made by Formula 1 in January 2024,” F1 said in a statement. “Over the course of this year, they have achieved operational milestones and made clear their commitment to brand the 11th team GM/Cadillac, and that GM will enter as an engine supplier at a later time. Formula 1 is therefore pleased to move forward with this application process." Yet another major shift in the debate over grid expansion occurred earlier this month with the announced resignation of Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei, who was largely believed to be one of the biggest opponents of the Andretti entry. “With Formula 1’s continued growth plans in the US, we have always believed that welcoming an impressive US brand like GM/Cadillac to the grid and GM as a future power unit supplier could bring additional value and interest to the sport," Maffei said. "We credit the leadership of General Motors and their partners with significant progress in their readiness to enter Formula 1." AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing

Black Friday is upon us, and Bambu Lab has kicked off a massive sale on its top-of-the-line 3D printers, plus the filaments and accessories you'll need to use them. The sale only lasts through Dec. 3, though, so if you've been eyeing a 3D printer, now is the time to buy. Bambu's products include some of our favorite 3D printer models , and this $250 price cut is Bambu's biggest sale of the year -- an even better deal than the $50 discount Bambu offered in honor of its two-year anniversary earlier this year. It doesn't matter if you're new to the hobby or a seasoned pro, these prices are hard to beat. 3D printing has exploded in popularity over the past few years as prices have fallen and products have become much more user friendly. Previously a niche hobby, it's now an entire ecosystem. Almost anyone can buy and use a 3D printer, but where to begin? With so many kinds of 3D printers, choosing one can be overwhelming. We love Bambu Lab's 3D printers because they're quick, versatile and accurate. Bambu's A1 Mini Combo , in particular, is the perfect gift for those just getting into 3D printing. While prices are pretty good on the Bambu lineup, the Black Friday sale is a great opportunity to get one for less -- or even a better chance to treat someone this holiday season . With that, you can find some picks from its Black Friday sale below. Just note that the sale itself is set to run until Dec. 3. A1 series deals The 3D printer is excellent, with fast, quality printing at a great price. Adding the AMS Lite elevates it to the best printer you can buy right now. Four-color printing for less than $500 is such a good price, I'm still shocked the company can manage it. The A1 creates a lot of waste when printing in color, but that's not a good reason not to buy this machine. Whether it's your first printer or another one for your collection, the A1 Combo is the No. 1 printer to buy right now. P1 series deals The P1S is an updated version of our previous best 3D printer winner, the P1P. Each of the machine's updates -- plastic side panels, glass top and door, camera, part fan and LED light -- makes the P1S our No. 1 pick for an enclosed machine. The quality of the models and the speed at which it can print them are amazing, and very few printers can do both of those things at anywhere near the same price. X1 series deals The X1C also includes an automatic material system, or AMS. That's a small unit that sits on top of the X1C and feeds four rolls of filament into it. An AMS lets you print a single model with four different colors, or it lets you use different materials in the same build. The Wi-Fi is rock solid and while also having an SD card slot, also seems to have more onboard memory, making it significantly faster than the P1P at transferring files. The X1C also comes equipped with a camera that allows for 1080p time-lapse videos, print monitoring via the handy app and even livestreaming in the latest update. Accessories and filaments The AMS is the part of the printer that gives you extra colors to work with. Most of the deals above come with one AMS, but being able to grab another means you can print up to eight different colors. The P1P, P1S and X1 Carbon allow multiple AMSes, so go crazy and get that color system while it's $100 off. What our expert James Bricknell thinks Bambu Lab has changed the landscape of 3D printing in the last two years, and while its printers are reasonably priced at the best of times, snagging a bargain when possible always makes sense. I've been working with and testing printers for the better part of a decade now, and these are the printers I would pick. If you want to buy your first 3D printer, I can't recommend the A1 Combo enough. It's tailor-made for new people wanting to get into the hobby, and with the AMS Lite color system, you can start printing four-color prints immediately. The P series printers are the right bracket for those with more knowledge and need more control over their 3D printing. The P1P is the cheaper of the P series, but if you have a little more to spend, the P1S with an AMS is going to be a better all-round product. The enclosure makes it good for exotic filament, and the AMS works wonders. While some of you might find the X1 Carbon to your liking, if you are creating a print farm for your business and you aren't printing carbon fiber or nylon-style filaments, then it's likely overkill. The P1S will do the job and save you $500 in the process. That $500 could go to getting you another AMS , for one of your machines, letting it print eight colors at a time. Why this deal matters 3D printing can be an expensive hobby, so it's important to take advantage of good deals when they come around. This Black Friday sale will significantly lower the cost of entry for anyone looking to get a new machine, and it offers experienced users a chance to stock up on filament and other supplies they'll use all year long. In addition, the Bambu Lab brand comes highly recommended by expert James Bricknell. Not only is this the best deal we've seen from Bambu all year, we don't anticipate anything better coming along in the near future. There are so many good deals that it's going to be hard to choose. However, if these 3D printers aren't cutting it for you, check out our list of the top 3D printer deals happening right now. Of course, Bambu Lab isn't the only retailer offering Black Friday deals right now. Thousands of price cuts are taking place. We've rounded up the best ones across tech, health, sleep, kitchen, security, software and much more.

The 7-4 Ravens travel to LA and face off against the 7-3 Chargers in a dual between brothers, as Baltimore will be without Roquan Smith for tonight’s game. This game also has massive revenge narratives for more than a few former Ravens, as the Chargers have many on the roster. This extends to their coaching staff and ownership with their general manager. Baltimore will look to rebound after a tough divisional loss, as the Chargers are coming off a thrilling close win last Sunday night. Roquan Smith Ruled Out Due to Hamstring Injury Ravens’ All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith, who is questionable for tonight’s game due to a hamstring injury, is unlikely to play vs. the Chargers, per sources. Smith has not missed a game as a Raven because of injury. pic.twitter.com/sz2kT28F8i — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 25, 2024 According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Roquan Smith will be out tonight for the Baltimore Ravens due to a hamstring injury. The star linebacker and team-leading tackler was out of practice all week after suffering his injury late in the game last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 11. This may be a potential high-scoring affair if the Ravens offense shows up tonight against a tough Chargers defense that struggled against the Cincinnati Bengals last week . Even in an away game, Baltimore normally does well on Monday night matchups like in Tampa a few weeks ago. The Chargers boast a top-10 run defense and are 11th best against the pass, while the Ravens are a bottom unit against the pass. Baltimore will need Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and Todd Monken to really cook it up tonight to keep pace with a surging Chargers offense that has been efficient recently. Ladd McConkey is slated to play after being limited due to a shoulder injury he suffered last week. Kyle Hamilton Key in Pivotal AFC Matchup vs. Chargers With no Smith, who normally has the green dot for communication on defense, Kyle Hamilton is slated to take the role. Hamilton playing more linebacker will likely have Marcus Williams back in the lineup after he was benched and Eddie Jackson was released. Ar’Darius Washington, who has seen more looks as their starting safety, will likely contribute to defending the slot as a nickel defender with Arthur Maulet also out. It is a concern since Zach Orr’s defense has had communication breakdowns pretty regularly all year. However, they are coming off their best defensive output last week. Trenton Simpson also gets a bigger role as their starting inside linebacker, with Malik Harrison and Chris Board seeing more looks on defense. The Baltimore Ravens’ interior against the run and pass has been a weakness, so Chargers’ Will Dissly may have a big game tonight. Tight ends have been exploiting Baltimore’s defense all season and will have to clean it up in the backend with no Smith. Final Thoughts on the Baltimore Ravens Defense for MNF The clash between Jim and John Harbaugh tonight will likely have fireworks from the passing game on both sides. However, with this injury news, the top Ravens rushing defense that ranks second takes a massive hit, as Jim will want to establish the run early and often to set the tone with former Ravens J.K. Dobbins/ Gus Edwards. This will be a physical matchup between two AFC contenders that look to make noise in the playoffs, so stakes are on the line in the Harbaugh Bowl at So-Fi Stadium. The struggling Ravens defense that had its best game as a unit last week faces a tough task tonight in a primetime spot against Justin Herbert and company. While Smith hasn’t been playing as well as last year, Baltimore is without its captain on defense for tonight’s game. This might be a must-win for the Baltimore Ravens, as they get the 9-2 Philadelphia Eagles next week and have to keep up with the Pittsburgh Steelers before their second matchup in week 15.
