Bringing order out of the chaos around us is one of the defining characteristics of being human. Nothing represents this quite like the watch — ticking away the moments that make up a day, segmenting them into quantifiable chunks that we can order our days around. For one man, this is his life's work, bringing order to the chaos of broken watches.
Christopher Chen from the Trondheim Table Tennis Club pulled off possibly the best table tennis shot of 2018 or maybe ever.

The International Space Station has been orbiting the Earth for 20 years. The first module was launched in 1998, and since then, the ISS has been more than the most distant research platform in history — it also represents what we are capable of when we come together for a common goal.

Originally released in 1982, the aptly named Nike Field General was originally designed for wear by pro quarterbacks. While we doubt we'll see any current QBs rocking them anytime soon, they are a solid choice for casual wear. The upper is a mix of durable textile and suede, with a touch of leather used for the heel cap and Swoosh. A foam midsole offers reasonable comfort, while the nubby Waffle sole provides outstanding grip, and might make these a sleeper choice for wear on the golf course. A variety of colorways range from subtle to bold, ensuring there's a version of the retro silhouette to fit your style.

It's not only one of the director's greatest films, but at almost 30 years old, it's still at the top of its genre and is as relevant as ever. Essayist Jacob T. Swinney examines the 1990 film to see what has made it stand the test of time.

Everest requires a supply chain — one of the most dangerous logistics cases ever.
