Germany wins the Fiba World Cup after beating Serbia in the final. –MARLO CUETO/INQUIRER.net MANILA, Philippines— None of the teams that medaled in the 2019 FIBA World Cup made the medal round at this year's World Cup. And only two quarterfinalists from 2019 made the quarterfinals this year. It represents almost unprecedented turnover, and FIBA doesn't mind. FIBA secretary general Andreas Zagklis, in his traditional end-of tournament news conference on Sunday, said basketball's governing body is seeing the impact of recent decisions to increase the size of the field to 32 teams and to have 80 teams be part of the qualification process for those spots.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has fixed the interest rates on savings deposits ranging from a flat-out ridiculous 0.10 percent to a still laughable 0.25 percent per annum—less taxes at the rate of nearly 10 percent! On the other hand, when banks use those deposits for loans applied for by the depositors or the public in general, the interest rates range from a whopping 18 percent to an atrocious 28 percent per annum! The usury law is used to proscribe the exaction of interest beyond 12 percent per annum.

US-based firm Avalo created an artificial intelligence model that can help create climate-resilient crops. It identifies genes scientists could use to produce fruits and vegetables that resist drought, flooding, heat, and insects. As a result, it could improve global food security significantly quicker than traditional crop improvements. You may not like genetically modified crops, but we've been selectively breeding them for years. Our fruits and vegetables are the result of thousands of years of farmers growing options that provide the best yields.
