Analysts from Bank of America believe we're in the midst of a new nuclear renaissance . "[N]uclear energy has, in many ways, been recently 'rediscovered' amid surging electricity demand," the bank concludes. This renaissance, Bank of America believes, could create a $10 trillion opportunity for nuclear stocks like Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) . Oklo in particular is betting on small modular reactors, or SMRs, which can theoretically lower initial costs, minimize infrastructure footprints, and provide greater ability to scale energy generation down the line. But this month, Oklo closed on the acquisition of Atomic Alchemy, a firm not directly tied to nuclear energy . Why did Oklo make this deal? There are two obvious reasons. Continue reading

(Photo by Joel Saget / AFP via Getty Images) Joel Saget | Afp | Getty Images Anthropic's Claude can now use a person's computer to complete tasks as the company looks to create an AI agent that can rival the viral OpenClaw. Users can now message Claude a task from a phone, and the AI agent will then complete that task, Anthropic announced Monday. After being prompted, Claude can open apps on your computer, navigate a web browser and fill in spreadsheets, Anthropic said. One prompt Anthropic demonstrated in a video posted Monday is a user running late for a meeting. The user asks Claude to export a pitch deck as a PDF file and attach it to a meeting invite. The video shows Claude carrying out the task. The latest update from Anthropic underscores the push from AI firms to create so-called "agents" that can autonomously carry out tasks on behalf of users at any time of day. Agentic capabilities were thrust into the spotlight this year after the release of OpenClaw, which went viral . OpenClaw links to AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic. A user can message OpenClaw through popular apps like WhatsApp or Telegram to carry out tasks. Like Anthropic's new feature, OpenClaw runs locally on a user's device giving it access to files. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told CNBC last week that OpenClaw is "definitely the next ChatGPT" as tech companies race to build their own competitors. The chip leader last week announced NemoClaw , an enterprise-grade version of OpenClaw. watch now VIDEO 1:36 01:36 OpenClaw is Nvidia's secret weapon Tech OpenAI last month hired Peter Steinberger , the creator of OpenClaw, as the company looks "to drive the next generation of personal agents."

Biscoff-based recipes are breaking the internet – everything from cheesecakes and milkshakes to prawn dishes and salads. A few traditionalists are even enjoying the biscuits on their own. What’s behind this sweet success story? Around 15 years ago, Ashley Markle was admitted into a secret world, introduced to the treasures of an exclusive supply chain. She was staying at her aunt’s house and, one morning, when her aunt made her a coffee, she placed a little plastic-wrapped biscuit on the side. “I’d never seen them before,” says Markle. She bit into it: “It was a warm flavour that I’d never really had in a cookie. I’m like, what is this?” Her aunt had discovered the small, gently spiced Biscoff biscuits as an airline snack. She loved them so much that she contacted the maker, Belgian company Lotus, and asked them to ship a box to her in the US. At that time, says Markle, “I think she was the only person who actually had them in her home.” But, as we all know, the world changes rapidly. Last year, Biscoff was the fastest-growing biscuit brand in the US. Continue reading...

Southern hemisphere players are integral to the global game but the financial clout of Europe remains dominant They’re present in every top-flight club in Europe. They pack down for teams in France and Scotland. They run the show from half-back in England and Italy. They provide heft through the midfield and dazzle out wide in Ireland and Wales. There are 257 of them in total, drawn from 12 nations including Chile, Zimbabwe and the Cook Islands. More than 60 are South African, a further 56 call Argentina home. Remove them and the complexion of the Top 14, Prem Rugby and the United Rugby Championship would look completely different, not least in the development of European players alongside and against them.

Francesca Albanese recommended ICC arrests and investigations over Gaza. Who will be the administration’s next target? We are North American university professors and human rights lawyers who teach, write, and speak about the human rights of people around the world, including Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank and Gaza. In a country that purports to value democracy and human rights, we never imagined that we could face civil penalties or imprisonment for our work. That sense of security has evaporated after the Trump administration issued a series of executive orders and memoranda that aim to stifle speech and demonize dissent – particularly when it comes to Israel’s crimes against Palestinians living in Gaza. Let us be clear: the evidence that Israel has committed war crimes is overwhelming. Israel killed an estimated 20,000 children – including more than 1,000 babies – in two years of war. Israel used starvation and thirst as a war tactic, leading to widespread famine that indiscriminately targeted the civilian population. It kept civilians from accessing cancer treatment , neonatal and maternal care , and basic antibiotics and painkillers by blockading the delivery of medical equipment and medications. Israel destroyed Gaza’s entire healthcare system, including reproductive healthcare facilities and Gaza’s largest fertility clinic . Israel’s systematic attack on Gaza’s civilian population was accompanied by dehumanizing language by authorities at the highest levels of government comparing Palestinians to “‘ human animals ” and “ children of darkness ”.

Susan M Akram is clinical professor and director of the International Human Rights Clinic at Boston University School of Law.

A new book explores the career of a player who many credit with inventing the curveball, and why he has been kept out of the Hall of Fame The Civil War provides a host of baseball-related mysteries pertaining to pitcher James Creighton. By the time of his death at age 21 in 1862, Creighton had compiled a ledger of accomplishments, starring for one of America’s top teams at the time, the Brooklyn Excelsiors. His grave became a shrine to the player and the sport he dominated. Then the clouds came in – over the circumstances of his death, over the achievements of his career. He is not in the Hall of Fame, but baseball historian Thomas Gilbert makes a convincing case for his inclusion in a new book , Death in the Strike Zone: The Mystery of America’s First Baseball Hero. “One hundred years ago, his impact was clear,” Gilbert says. “Until the turn of the 20th century, he was remembered and talked about … When Albert Spalding wrote his book on baseball in 1911, he said: ‘Obviously Creighton was the greatest, fastest pitcher ever.’” Continue reading...
