I had plans to travel the world indefinitely, but they were derailed when I fell in love. Just weeks after my 28th birthday, I arrived in Burgenland, a wine region south of Vienna, to work at a natural wine domaine. Fresh off of quitting my full-time job in California, I planned to travel indefinitely, hopping from country to country by way of the wine harvest. I didn't have the space, nor the desire, to make room for a serious relationship. Then, I met Lars. In the sticky August heat, we both arrived on the first morning of harvest at 3 a.m., faceless strangers in the dark. Lars was gentle and curious, with a thick accent that made some words sound unfamiliar, but all of them endearing. We picked alongside one another beneath the stars, talking with fervor until the sun rose. Being near him felt both exhilarating and familiar. We spent the next several weeks falling in love, but there was one complication: I had plans to move halfway across the world to Australia. We knew our time together would end, but we fell in love anyway
Xanadu Quantum Technologies (TSX:XNDU) advanced its collaboration with Mitsubishi Chemical to apply quantum computing to next generation semiconductor manufacturing. The partners are working to integrate parameters from Xanadu’s quantum simulations directly into Mitsubishi Chemical’s extreme ultraviolet lithography models. The project is supported by Canadian and Japanese government programs and targets solutions designed to be compatible with future fault tolerant quantum computing. The collaboration aims to build a quantum driven pipeline for EUV lithography workflows in industrial semiconductor fabrication settings. For broader context on how this type of work fits into the wider build out of computing infrastructure, consider exploring 55 AI infrastructure stocks.

(Ethan Miller/Getty Images/File)Cale Makar and the Colorado Avalanche agreed to an eight-year contract extension worth $163.2 million US on Friday that will make him the highest paid player in league history. His agency, Bartlett Hockey, confirmed terms of the deal. Makar's extension is set to be the richest in NHL history, surpassing the eight-year, $136 million extension signed by Minnesota forward Kirill Kaprizov last September.
Winter in Gjoa Haven, a Canadian Inuit community of fewer than 1,500 located north of the Arctic Circle, gets so cold that the residents leave their trucks running all day, says University of Manitoba oceanographer and National Geographic Explorer Kristina Brown, “because otherwise the engine will get too cold and you can’t turn it on again.” Gjoa Haven is one of five villages in the Kitikmeot region—a place known mostly for legendary shipwrecks like the H. M. S. Erebus and H. M. S. Terror. And yet Brown, who grew up in comparatively warmer southern Ontario, loves it here—especially in the winter, when the sun shines for just a few hours each day. “You have these really long extended pink periods of sunset and sunrise,” she says. “It’s really beautiful. There’s a reason the Inuit have been here for a very long time.” Another reason can be found less than 100 miles away: Sherman Basin, a sanctuary of coastal health and natural abundance that supports bearded seals and arctic char in the water and caribou and musk oxen in the surrounding tundra. The Inuit community has fished and hunted there for millennia.
Marvell Technology (MRVL +4.06%) stock tumbled 8% through 10:55 a.m. ET Friday despite beating on both top and bottom lines in its fiscal Q2 2027 earnings report last night.

Lana Payne said Unifor will not be “giving up or giving in” as the trade war with the U. S. continues to escalate. Addressing delegates on the first day of Unifor’s 2026 Canadian Council in Ottawa, the union’s National President repeatedly returned to solidarity as the answer to efforts to divide workers. “Our union has been fighting this trade war for almost two years, and now finally we are seeing a strengthening of resolve in many places. I say, ‘Welcome to the fight.’ We are the union that is going to save Canada, and yes, protect Canadian jobs,” she said. “As long as there is breath in my body, we, this union, will not be giving up or giving in.”More than 1,000 Unifor members, local union leaders, activists and guests gathered at the Rogers Centre in Ottawa for Canadian Council from Aug. 28 to 30, renewing their commitment to protect Canadian jobs amid the ongoing U. S. trade war. Speaking just steps from Parliament Hill, Payne warned delegates that decisions made in the coming weeks could shape Canada’s economy for generations. As a sitting member of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Advisory Committee on Canada-U. S.
The market barely flinched at Lotus Technology’s half year report. The stock slipped 0.8% to US$1.24, leaving a 30 day gain of about 43% largely intact. However, the headline numbers underline why the thesis on this high growth luxury performance car maker is still focused on financial strain. H1 2026 revenue came in at US$268.1m with gross profit improving, but the company still reported a net loss of US$150.9m and remains unprofitable on a trailing basis, with negative shareholders’ equity and under one year of cash runway. The gap between the growth story and the balance sheet is the key takeaway this quarter.

The second day of the Elimination Series got under way today at the 2026 ILCA 7 Men's World Championship, with two new races added to the scoreboard. Racing started at 12:00 as scheduled, in around 9 knots of wind. Conditions through the day ranged 7-11 knots from the west, with near-flat water throughout. A rainy, cloudy morning gave way to a partially sunny afternoon for the last set of races.
And that was the whole point. The 15-week Nike Innovation Farm Team, which kicked off in April at Nike’s Philip H. Knight Campus, was created to help Nike innovators uncover the levers behind ultra-endurance running. The science of endurance performance under two hours is fairly well understood. The longer a runner goes, however, the less we know about what causes some to succeed and others to crumble. The standard factors of endurance performance become more dynamic, and unpredictable, especially in ultra-distance mountain running. The distances are outrageous. The terrain shape-shifts in a flash, covering high-altitude climbs and steep descents. There’s a mix of unforgiving surfaces, and the weather can change rapidly. What’s more, a race can last for days, and it’s largely a solo endeavor. You’re likely to be running by yourself for extended periods of time, sometimes for hours. The opportunities for a scientist to intervene naturally and observe how the runner’s body is negotiating the work are few. What the Farm Team gave Nike researchers was a rare 15-week window to dig into all aspects of the sport and, maybe most important, its elusive performance enhancer: resilience.
