More than four centuries after the Spanish treasure galleon Nuestra Señora de Atocha disappeared beneath the waters off the Florida Keys, the legendary shipwreck has yielded another remarkable discovery. Divers with Mel Fisher’s Shipwreck Expeditions recovered a 22.5-pound silver bar from about 50 feet underwater near Key West, marking the first silver bar recovered from the Atocha site since 1999. Estimated to be worth between $50,000 and $100,000, the artefact is considered far more valuable for its historical significance.

For a small island with no natural groundwater, Singapore’s water self-sufficiency is remarkable. By looking ahead to climate change, the nation has become a global example of sustainable water management. This success is built on two pillars called the ‘deep tunnel sewerage system (DTSS)’ and ‘NEWater’.

There, it is purified through a rigorous three-stage process to produce ultra-clean NEWater. Acting as a weather-resilient national tap for Singapore, NEWater currently meets up to 40% of the nation’s demand, closing the water dependency and ensuring…

White pillowcases. White towels folded in the bathroom. The colour has become so closely associated with hotels that many travellers barely notice it anymore.Yet white is not necessarily the easiest choice. It shows every mark, every stain and every sign of wear. A patterned duvet or coloured towel would hide imperfections far more effectively. Hotels continue to choose white for a different set of practical reasons, shaped…
