DOHA (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton said he knew he had 'still got it' despite qualifying sixth and nearly half a second slower than Mercedes team mate George Russell for Sunday's Qatar Grand Prix. The seven-times Formula One world champion, who will be 40 next year when he moves to Ferrari, had said after qualifying seventh for the sprint at Lusail on Friday that he was "definitely not fast any more". He repeated that verdict to reporters after the main qualifying session, with Russell on the front row, but in a slightly more positive way. "I know I've still got it," he said. "It's just the car won't go any faster, I definitely know I've got it. It's not a question in my mind. Looking forward to the end (of the season)." The most successful driver in the history of the sport with a record 105 wins has triumphed twice this season but Russell, second on the grid in Qatar behind four-times champion Max Verstappen, has out-qualified him 18-5. "I'm slow," said Hamilton. "About half a second off my team-mate in the same car. "It's been all year," he added, saying he did not know why that was. "It's not possible to change it right now." The season ends in Abu Dhabi on Dec. 8, with Hamilton contracted to Mercedes until the end of the year and facing sponsor commitments before he can start at Maranello.

Late in the game, Kalel Mullings broke away for a 27-yard run, setting up the Wolverines (7-5, 5-4) at Ohio State’s 17-yard line with two minutes remaining. The drive stalled at the 3, and Zvada came on for the chip shot. Ohio State (10-2, 7-2, No. 2 CFP) got the ball back but couldn’t move it, with Will Howard throwing incomplete on fourth down to seal the Wolverines’ fourth straight win over their bitter rival. This loss might have been the toughest of those four for Ohio State because the Wolverines were unranked and were wrapping up a disappointing season. The Buckeyes were supposed to win, but records rarely mean much when these two teams meet. Ohio State needs No. 4 Penn State and No. 10 Indiana to lose later Nov. 30 in order to make it into the Big Ten title game next week. The Buckeyes were off all afternoon. Howard was 19 for 33 for 175 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and Jayden Fielding missed two field-goal attempts. The run game was hardly there. Mullings was Michigan’s primary weapon. He rushed for 116 yards and the Wolverines only touchdown of the game in the first half as neither team could get much going offensively on the frigid afternoon. Howard was clunky all day. In the first half he threw an interception from deep in his own territory that led to Michigan’s touchdown. After the game, Michigan players attempted to plant their flag at midfield and were confronted by Ohio State players. A skirmish ensued as both teams pushed and shoved before being separated. Michigan >> Did just enough and caught Ohio State on an off day. Ohio State >> It’s inexplicable how badly the Buckeyes played in their biggest game of the season. The Buckeyes will fall. Michigan will wait for a minor bowl game. Ohio State will see how the College Football Playoff rankings shake out.No. 6 Purdue routs Marshall

I DON'T KNOW about you, but that whole cliché of a dad patiently teaching his son how to shave was not my experience. Nothing against my own father, but when it came to learning how to shave, I was left to my own devices. Maybe it was because my dad used an electric razor and, back then, no one was really advising (or thinking about) taking an electric razor to a teenager's face. Flash forward decades later, however, and I am a dedicated electric razor user—much like my dad. Still, I wish I had access to the back then. Mowbie Light Stimulation Rotary Electric Shaver $38 at Walmart Pros Cons Battery Life 60 Minutes Motor Speed Undisclosed Waterproof Yes Charging Station Included? Yes Additional Features LED light ring, pop-up trimmer Luckily for guys growing up now, things have changed. There are dozens of razors on the market, which means that learning to shave doesn't have to involve taking a naked blade and shaving cream to your face—welcome news for kids like me who are left to their own devices or have to deal with irritating skin issues like acne that can make traditional shaving painful. That still doesn't mean, however, that all electric razors are good for beginners. Enter the . This simple, easy-to-use razor is not only ideal for beginners, but also anyone who struggles with breakouts, skin irritation issues or has thinner facial hair. It offers an understandable experience straight out of the box, with a few bells and whistles that make the experience easier but don't bog it down. Interestingly, it also features LED light technology, which the brand claims helps improve your skin while you shave (more on that later). While not nearly as powerful as many other electric razors on the market, that's what makes it so good for beginners or people with sensitive skin. And at one of the lowest prices we've found for a worthwhile electric razor, it's a great stepping stone for a more powerful option down the road once your skin gets used to this type of...

DPWH finds ‘structural defects’ in Biliran bridgeThe state Building Code Council set out on a path Friday to ensure energy rules for new construction comply with provisions in the natural gas initiative Washington voters approved this month. But the council’s first step will not be to erase any current building codes when Initiative 2066 takes effect next month, setting the stage for a possible legal fight with sponsors of the measure. At a special meeting Friday, the council voted to have its technical experts review revisions made to the residential and commercial building codes earlier in the year that are targeted by the initiative and recommend any changes needed to true them up. Council members said they want to be deliberative and are cognizant that potential court challenges to the measure’s scope and legality could further alter the regulatory landscape. They view their approach as a “good faith effort” to comply without disrupting or creating uncertainty in regulation for the construction industry. The Building Industry Association of Washington, which led the effort to qualify and pass Initiative 2066, disagreed with the decision. It contends the new rules put in place nine months ago will be unenforceable upon certification of the election results on Dec. 5. Those rules offer builders permitting incentives for choosing electric heat pumps – which provide both heating and cooling in the same unit – instead of natural gas furnaces. Greg Lane, the association executive vice president, vowed action “to ensure the will of the people is carried out” and that the state energy code and its enforcement comply with the law when the measure takes effect. He said the council decision “makes it clear this un-elected body believes they are independent of any accountability and don’t have to follow state law.” Initiative 2066 takes aim at the state’s combination of regulations and laws to move swiftly away from natural gas toward technology like electric heat pumps. It was passing with 51.7% of the statewide vote on Friday. It would undo changes to the energy code approved by the state Building Code Council that went into effect in March. It also would repeal provisions in a state law, House Bill 1589 , intended to accelerate Puget Sound Energy’s transition away from natural gas. The measure, which is 21 pages long , requires utilities and local governments to provide natural gas to eligible customers. And it prevents approval of utility rate plans that end or restrict access to natural gas, or make it too costly. Opponents say Initiative 2066 will be invalidated by the courts because it violates a provision in the state constitution that limits the content of citizen initiatives to a single subject. They argue it deals with at least two different subjects – the law concerning future planning by Puget Sound Energy and the array of changes to the state energy code. They are expected to sue shortly after the measure is certified. Lane and BIAW attorneys have strenuously disagreed and said it was carefully crafted with such a challenge in mind. “All of it puts us in an uncertain and untenable position,” said Rep. Alex Ramel, D-Bellingham, an ex-officio member of the council who crafted the motion that passed unanimously on Friday. Council members decided to push ahead . Its technical advisory group will continue to work on updates to the 2024 energy codes, which may be unaffected by the initiative, while studying whether changes are needed in portions of the 2021 energy codes flagged in the ballot measure. “We’re taking this seriously. We’ve got technical experts working on it,” Ramel said. “We’re trying to figure it out.” The Washington State Standard is an affiliate of the nonprofit States Newsroom.

The large-scale deployment of charging infrastructure poses challenges to the distribution grid stability. In Hamburg, the project Electrify Buildings for Electric Vehicles (ELBE) implements and tests a demand side management communication protocol that allows the distribution grid operator to reduce the charging power of electric vehicle charging stations if necessary. For this purpose, a test device capable of testing the signal chain as well as a real load reduction is presented for DC charging infrastructure. The standardized high-level communication protocols are described. With the charger's power electronics located in the DC charging station, the need for a battery emulation arises, which is also discussed. Finally, a novel concept for a mobile and modular test setup for combined testing signal and real load reduction of AC and DC charging infrastructure is presented.

The Alberta Drilling Accelerator is intended to be an open-access, industry-led site where companies can test drilling technologies at deep depths, high temperatures and varying rock types. A location for the hub site has yet to be determined. While no binding contracts have been signed, the province said several companies have expressed strong interest in serving as anchor tenants, including Calgary-based geothermal company Eavor Technologies, Tourmaline Oil Corp. and international oilfield service supermajor Halliburton. The money the province is providing will come from the industry-funded Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) program, which Alberta’s heavy emitters are required to pay into as part of the province’s industrial carbon pricing system. The provincial government said the Alberta Drilling Accelerator could start operating in 2026.
