“Schools are finally re-opening, mate,” my volleyball friend Sardar announced, grinning with unmistakable relief. It clearly had nothing to do with how we played that evening – we lost badly. This joy was about classrooms, routines, teachers and the quiet order that schools bring back into families’ lives. For us, it also meant something else entirely: my youngest, Naveed, is starting school for the first time. Over the past few days, we’ve been wandering through shopping centres and uniform shops, trying to dress and equip him for what feels, in his mind at least, like a major mission. Judging by his choices – bold backpacks, superhero-themed drink bottles – I suspect he believes some special powers might be required. Watching him prepare has been tender and amusing in equal measure. In the midst of all this, I’ve noticed something quietly beautiful. Whenever I take Naveed shopping with me – whether to big bookstores or op shops – he drifts instinctively towards children’s books. He already has a tiny collection at home, which he reads aloud to his favourite teddy, Mr Lion, whenever there’s nothing interesting on television and the older siblings are glued to their screens. There’s something grounding about seeing him like that: cross-legged, serious, absorbed. Watching him step towards this small but enormous threshold has stirred a question I’ve been carrying for years: how much of curiosity is innate, and how much is shaped – patiently, deliberately – by those who raise us? When I was a child, we were refugees in Pakistan. Material comfort was absent. Books were scarce. Stability even more so. And yet, it was there that my elder brother developed an extraordinary love for reading and writing. He read anything he could get his hands on – old newspapers, battered textbooks, scraps passed between families. This was the 1990s, before screens and easy internet access. His handwriting – meticulous, elegant – bordered on calligraphy. During the day, he worked long hour...

Isaacman: NASA Aims To Build 'Martian Outpost' On Mars With Nuclear Propulsion Authored by T.J. Muscaro via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced his agency’s commitment to developing a nuclear propulsion system for missions to Mars within the next three years. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman (L) speaks at a press conference at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on Jan. 17, 2026. (T.J. Muscaro/The Epoch Times). “ Before the end of @POTUS‘ term, @NASA will lay the foundation of a ’transcontinental railroad' to Mars ,” Isaacman wrote on X on Jan. 30. “By utilizing nuclear electric propulsion, our nation will have the tools necessary to establish a Martian outpost and maintain American superiority in deep space.” The administrator shared a clip from a Jan. 30 appearance on Fox News in which he explained that while NASA continues its work to put boots back on the moon, it will also launch its first nuclear power and propulsion rocket by the end of President Donald Trump’s term. “ That’s going to essentially almost establish the transcontinental railroad to Mars ,” he said. “ It’s how you efficiently move lots of mass to Mars. So it’s not necessarily always the fastest way to get there, but it gives you the tools to build out potentially a Martian outpost, certainly to mine and refine propellant on Mars, which is what you’re going to need to bring your astronauts back home.” He explained that America would have the capability to send astronauts to Mars, but the hard part was bringing them back. Nuclear power and propulsion solved that problem. Meanwhile, Isaacman reaffirmed that the Artemis program would continue to push forward the goal of the president’s national space policy to not just land humans back on the moon, but to construct a lunar base in order to stay and fulfill its scientific, economic, and strategic potential. That base, he said, will involve a nuclear power plant, as well as mining operations, and refining Helium 3, ...

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) today announced its full calendar year 2026 plan to fund the expansion of its rapidly growing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure business. Oracle is raising money in order to build additional capacity to meet the contracted demand from our largest Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers, including AMD, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, TikTok, xAI and others. Oracle expects to raise $45 to $50 billion of gross cash proceeds during the 2026 calendar year. The company plans to achieve its funding objective by using a balanced combination of debt and equity financing to maintain a solid investment-grade balance sheet. On the equity side, Oracle plans to raise approximately half of its 2026 funding through a combination of equity-linked and common equity issuances. This is expected to include an initial issuance of mandatory convertible preferred securities, representing a modest portion of the overall equity funding, as well as a newly authorized at-the-market equity program of up to $20 billion. The company plans to issue equity from the at-the-market program flexibly over time at prevailing market prices, based on market conditions and capital needs. On the debt side, Oracle intends to complete a single, one-time issuance of investment-grade senior unsecured bonds early in 2026 to cover the other half of the company's planned funding for the year. Oracle does not expect to issue additional bonds during calendar year 2026 beyond this transaction. This funding plan reflects Oracle's commitment to maintaining an investment-grade rating, prudent capital allocation, balance sheet strength, and transparency with investors as the company continues to expand its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure business. These transactions have been approved by the Oracle Board of Directors. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC will be leading the senior unsecured bond offering, and Citigroup will be leading the at-the-market issuance and mandatory conver...

IBM has become a strong play on AI and quantum computing. Shares of IBM (IBM 0.82%) climbed after the company reported stronger-than-expected results for the fourth quarter and issued upbeat guidance. The stock is up about 35% over the past year, as of this writing. AI driving growth IBM's growth is being driven by artificial intelligence (AI). Customers are now using its mainframes to help run AI inference, while its watsonx software platform is being used for AI governance and Red Hat OpenShift is being deployed to run AI in multicloud environments. Meanwhile, customers are turning to the company for consulting to help them move AI programs from pilots into production. This helped IBM grow its revenue by 12%, or 9% in constant currencies, in the fourth quarter to $19.69 billion, topping the $19.23 billion consensus, as compiled by LSEG.
