Archives reveal how climate memories may reset with each generation
The collective memory of floods and droughts influences where people settle, how they build and how they prepare for the next climatic extreme. Over decades, that memory can fade, and communities may return to places that once proved dangerous. How such memory decayed over centuries is hard to observe because the climate past societies experienced is usually known only from their own records.

Gravitational waves hint at black holes born from failed supernovae
When the most massive stars in the universe die, they often detonate in fiery supernovae, dramatically blasting most of their matter into space. The remaining stellar cores collapse into neutron stars and, sometimes, black holes. However, theories suggest that some massive stars might die without a bang, instead directly collapsing inward to become neutron stars or black holes.

Indian Coast Guard ship delivers critical spares to Mozambique Navy vessels
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Nov 11 (IANS) Indian Coast Guard Ship (ICGS) Varaha, currently on an overseas deployment, handed over critical spare parts for the Mozambique Navy's fast interceptor vessels, *Namiliti* and *Umbeluzi*, during a formal ceremony held on board the ship. Highlighting the strategic significance of the handover, the Indian Coast Guard stated: This initiative reflects Indias commitment to maritime capacity building and a secure, stable and cooperative Indian Ocean Region, guided by the vision of Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR) and Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions (MAHASAGAR). India gifted the 30-metre-long fast interceptor craft *Namiliti* and *Umbeluzi*to Mozambique in July 2019 as part of bilateral defence cooperation and regional maritime security initiatives. Built by Larsen & Toubro at its Kattupalli shipyard, the 90-tonne aluminium-hulled vessels can reach 45 knots and have an operational range of 500 nautical miles. Powered by twin Caterpillar marine engines with waterjet propulsion systems, the boats are equipped with machine guns and bullet-resistant cabins, and are crewed by 12 personnel. The Mozambican Navy utilises these interceptors for coastal surveillance, search and rescue, anti-smuggling, anti-poaching missions, and counter-terrorism operations in volatile areas such as Cabo Delgado. Maintenance and operational support for the vessels are provided with assistance from a resident Indian Coast Guard Afloat Support Team stationed in Mozambique. Both the Indian Navy and Coast Guard regularly provide training, operational guidance, and technical maintenance support to Mozambican naval personnel, with several joint milestone ceremonies conducted in late 2026. Defence relations between the two nations have strengthened continuously since 2011, when New Delhi affirmed its commitment to assist Mozambique with maritime security and anti-piracy efforts. Indian naval ships previously provided humanitarian relief following Cyclone Idai in March 2019, while INS Kesari has executed multiple Mission SAGAR deployments, providing medical and humanitarian assistance to Mozambique alongside conducting shipboard training for Mozambican naval personnel.

Tripura govt committed to improving quality of life in tribal areas: CM Manik Saha
Digital Desk | Agartala, Nov 10 (IANS) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Tuesday said that the overall development of the state would not be possible without close cooperation between the state government and the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC). He said both administrations must work together to achieve the common objective of building a developed Tripura and improving the quality of life of people living in tribal areas. Saha made the remarks while addressing the oath-taking ceremony of seven Executive Members (EMs) of the TTAADC. He said the newly sworn-in Executive Members, along with other representatives and leaders of the Janajati communities, must work collectively towards building a new Tripura. There should be no room for doubt. There should be trust. Sometimes, there are many issues. I often make commitments, but whenever I make a commitment, I have to see whether it is actually possible. We want to ensure that every demand is reasonable and explore how it can be addressed through dialogue. I am sure that no gap should be allowed to develop, he said. The Chief Minister emphasised that all stakeholders must work together to achieve the desired development goals. Highlighting the constitutional and administrative importance of the TTAADC, Saha said the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution had granted several rights to tribal communities to protect their land, language, culture, traditions and socio-economic interests. Today, the role of the TTAADC in the constitutional and administrative framework is very important. We all know that the Sixth Schedule has granted several rights to the tribal communities. It provides provisions to protect the land, language, culture, traditions and socio-economic interests of the tribals. The Sixth Schedule of the Constitution also provides for the right to self-governance, good governance and the protection of one's identity and traditions, he said. Saha also referred to the statement by royal scion and Tipra Motha Party (TMP) supremo Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma that he was no longer involved in politics. But I have already said that one can work for people without being in politics. So, no matter what Maharaj says, he is with you. He has said that he may not be in politics, but he will stand with you in your happiness and sorrow, the Chief Minister said. He stressed that dialogue and regular communication were essential to maintaining a healthy relationship between the state government and the TTAADC administration, adding that a lack of communication often created unnecessary gaps and misunderstandings. Speaking about improvements in education, healthcare and drinking water facilities, the Chief Minister said the state government was according considerable importance to strengthening basic infrastructure and improving access to essential services in TTAADC areas. He said the government had made significant progress in expanding household tap water connections across the state. Saha further said that people across Tripura were benefiting from the Chief Minister's Jan Arogya Yojana and the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana. Tripura is the only state where 100 per cent of the population has health insurance coverage. No other state has achieved this. We are working in different areas, and there are several initiatives that I have already mentioned. The state government has considerable experience in these matters, and we will continue to utilise that experience for the welfare of the people, he added.
