Working for one of the biggest tech companies on the planet has its perks. Employees at Amazon's headquarters in Seattle now have a lush oasis in the middle of the city to get away from the office. Called the Spheres, the geodesic domes house 400 species of plants and meeting areas in the most Zen workspace you could imagine. With areas like the bird's nest and Ruby, a 50-foot tall tree that was brought from California, the Spheres add another landmark to a city known for them.
Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.

The Eureka Ark Executive Standing Desk combines heavy-duty design with minimalist modern aesthetics — with the added benefit of not sitting for hours at a time. Measuring 63 x 29 inches, the Ark Executive Desk features a raising mechanism with two quiet motors and three-stage legs that raise the desk from 27 inches to a max height of 49 inches. The desk raises and lowers at the touch of a button, with two preset options and an anti-collision system to prevent mishaps. A raised monitor stand and two smooth-glide drawers provide ample storage options, with three USB ports, two outlets, and a wireless charging pad built into the top. Almost completely handmade, the Ark is dressed in solid walnut veneer, making it the centerpiece of any office, at home or on the job.

A tale in three acts — that simple structure has been the basis for Hollywood since at least 1979 when it was popularized by Syd Field in his book Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting. Shakespear preferred five acts in his (or their) classics. But what actually defines an act? This episode of Lessons From the Screenplay digs deep in the most basic of movie nuts and bolts to find the answer — or if it even matters.

Running 26.2 miles is a lot different than tackling your local charity 5K. To accommodate the needs of marathon runners, Nike created the Alphafly line, now in its third generation. It employs two types of Zoom cushioning — a high-stack ZoomX foam midsole that encourages a smooth transition and Air Zoom units in the forefoot for an energy return boost. A wide, full-length carbon fiber Flyplate improves forward propulsion, and the breathable Atomknit 3.0 upper is paired with a lacing system designed with racer input to enhance comfort.
