Third Day Of Community Service Gathering Aid For Flood-Hit Districts In Sri Lanka.
The third day of the community action at the National Youth Service Center in Maharagama, Sri Lanka, on December 1, 2025, is underway. Local residents voluntarily come together to collect and pack aid for the flood victims. Even though the rain and wind conditions have subsided, due to the continued occurrence of landslides and floods, people gather at the center with more aid than ever before and continue to contribute to preparing it for transport.

Bee Keeping In Indian Kashmir
A Kashmiri beekeeper displays fresh honey as he collects it from an artificial beehive at a honeybee farm in Pampore, south of Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on November 9, 2025. Many local farmers produce honey using modern beehives. Honeybees are kept to obtain honey, bee wax, and royal jelly. Beekeeping in Kashmir requires more care during winters as temperatures drop below zero degrees, making bee farming a challenge. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto) -

A paint for roof tiles that helps cool the home and pull fresh water ]out of the air has been developed by scientists.
It is a polymer coating that reflects up to 97% of the sun's rays and passively collects water from dew.
In tests, it was able to keep indoor temperatures up to 6 °C cooler than the air outside.
The temperature differential results in water vapour condensing on the surface producing a steady trickle of droplets.
In trials on the roof of a building generated up to 390 ml of water per square meter daily.
The paint has been developed by a team at Australia’s University of Sydney and a commercial start-up spin-off called Dewpoint Innovations.
Most commercial white paints designed for exterior walls and roofs use titanium dioxide as the primary pigment, which reflects UV light.
The new novel coating reflects the sun through microscopic pores.
These tiny air pockets scatter sunlight in all directions without glare and without the need of UV-absorbing chemicals that can degrade over time.
The result is a self-cooling, weather-resistant film that was able to sustain its high performance throughout the lengthy testing phase.
A 12 square metre section of treated roof could produce around 4.7 litres of water per day under optimal conditions.

'People have a right to clean water': Austria's far right rides wave of public anger as election nears. Klagenfurt water infrastructure contaminated.
The anti-asylum, pro-Kremlin FPO is leading the polls amid growing frustration over the political status quo.
People in Klagenfurt are having to use bottled water after their infrastructure became contaminated with faecal bacteria.
For at least a week, and some local people say much longer, the tap water in this city of baroque facades and a stunning Alpine lake has been contaminated with faecal bacteria and unsafe to drink. No one - not the government or environmental officials - has managed to ascertain the cause.

A rare glimpse inside Britain's secret vault of whale skeletons
The Natural History Museum's legendary cetacean collection - a hoard of bones of 6,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises, so valuable that the museum keeps the location under wraps - could hold the key to the long-term future of these species.
Behind a 10-foot tall door, in a secret location, lies a treasure trove of bones. Some of the biggest bones are laid out on storage units made of scaffolding, others are stacked against each other on racks - rows and rows of specimens. The smallest are tucked into drawers of faded-yellow metal cabinets. A selection of skulls lies on a low table; crudely stuffed animals hang from the painted breezeblock walls. Everything is carefully labelled.

A rare glimpse inside Britain's secret vault of whale skeletons
The Natural History Museum's legendary cetacean collection - a hoard of bones of 6,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises, so valuable that the museum keeps the location under wraps - could hold the key to the long-term future of these species.
Behind a 10-foot tall door, in a secret location, lies a treasure trove of bones. Some of the biggest bones are laid out on storage units made of scaffolding, others are stacked against each other on racks - rows and rows of specimens. The smallest are tucked into drawers of faded-yellow metal cabinets. A selection of skulls lies on a low table; crudely stuffed animals hang from the painted breezeblock walls. Everything is carefully labelled.
