#Latvia is grappling with one of Europe’s most unusual demographic imbalances — a gap so wide that women outnumber men by more than 80,000. The divide stems from decades of migration patterns, health disparities, and population shifts that never fully rebounded after the post-Soviet transition.

For years, young men have emigrated at higher rates, while significantly lower male life expectancy has further skewed the population. Together, these trends have created a demographic ratio that influences everything from dating culture to workforce stability and long-term economic planning.

Now, the government must confront a shrinking labor force and a deepening gender gap that shows no sign of reversing. It’s a stark reminder that demographics are more than statistics — they shape a nation’s future.

Sometimes a person may have an additional vertebra, which is called a transitional bodyand is usually found at the sixth level of the lumbar area.

The bottom of the spine is called the sacrum. It is made up of several vertebral bodies usually fused together as one.

Reuters reports that OpenAI is preparing for an IPO that could value the company at as much as $1 trillion.

The company recently transitioned into a Public Benefit Corporation under its nonprofit foundation.

A secondary share sale in October 2025 valued OpenAI at $500 billion.

Discussions point to a possible IPO between late 2026 and 2027, with the offering expected to raise at least $60 billion to support compute and data center expansion.

After its recent restructuring, Microsoft owns roughly 27%, while the nonprofit foundation still holds a significant share.

If realized, this move could redefine AI investment and public access to major AI firms.

Inside a high-pressure lab in Germany, scientists have done something remarkable, they’ve made ice that forms at room temperature. At Europe’s XFEL facility, researchers compressed liquid water to 2 gigapascals, about 20,000 times the air pressure at sea level, and watched it transform into a completely new phase called ice XXI. It’s a version of water that only appears under crushing force and disappears just as quickly.⁠
⁠
The team used a dynamic diamond anvil cell to ramp pressure in about 10 milliseconds, then release it over one second, repeating the cycle more than a thousand times. XFEL’s million-frames-per-second flashes filmed atoms in motion, turning freezing into a process they could finally see. Follow-up diffraction at PETRA III confirmed the strange structure forming in real time, giving scientists a clearer picture of how water behaves under extreme stress.⁠
⁠
What they found was extraordinary, a tetragonal crystal built from huge repeating units, 152 water molecules per cell, unlike any other known ice. Ice XXI is metastable, meaning it lingers briefly even when another form should be more stable. In several trials, it appeared as a midpoint on the journey toward the high-pressure phase known as ice VI, revealing hidden transitions in water’s complex behavior.⁠
⁠
Those atomic snapshots reach far beyond Earth. Mapping multiple freezing and melting pathways under extreme pressure helps explain what water might do inside icy moons like Titan and Ganymede, where layers of exotic ice could lie buried. The findings also hint that studying water under these conditions could guide the design of new materials built to withstand extreme environments.⁠

The president of the New Development Bank (NDB), Dilma Rousseff, said that the institution she leads is ready to finance projects promoting a just transition focused on innovation, environmental protection, and social development.

Her remarks came during her speech at the opening session of the Heads of State Summit of the UN Climate Conference (COP), held in Belém, Pará.

As the final speaker of the inaugural plenary, Dilma reminded attendees that the Amazonian city hosting the conference “reminds us, forcefully, that protecting nature and promoting human well-being are inseparable tasks.” According to her, the future of humanity is directly tied to the decisions being made today.

On November 6, COP30 began in Brazil, a United Nations meeting attended by nearly 50 world leaders to address the most pressing issues of climate change. The meeting is being held in Belem, a city located in the Amazon, one of the regions most affected and threatened by climate change.

Brazilian head of state Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is hosting a conference that aims to promote an agenda already agreed upon in the Paris Agreement which, according to the president, has not yet been fulfilled by the nearly 195 signatory countries. To this end, the meeting of world leaders will consist of three working groups (climate and nature; energy transition; and review of the Paris Agreement), in addition to a plenary session.

According to GamesIndustry .biz, Funcom has announced layoffs affecting an unspecified number of employees despite describing Dune: Awakening as the biggest launch in its 32-year history. The studio says the restructuring is tied to the MMO’s transition into long-term live service and preparations for a major console release in 2026. What do you think about studios celebrating success while cutting jobs at the same time?
