You probably know the exact region or even vineyard your wine comes from. But what about that cork in the bottle? Although they seem menial, that plug is just as vital to your glass of Cab as the grapes inside and the method used to harvest the cork to make them is equally as strenuous. The delicate process begins in Portugal with a group of harvesters that have been keeping the tradition alive for generations.
Old of age and reaching the end of his reign, King Lear calls his family together to make a striking announcement — he will divide his kingdom between his three daughters. Each one makes a pleasant statement to their father, with the exception of the youngest, whose piece of the kingdom is split between the two elder siblings. She's then left to fend for herself until the death of her father, while the two older sisters begin a war to oust Lear before his reign has ended. Starring Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson, Emile Watson, and Florence Pugh, King Lear comes to Amazon Prime August 20, 2018.

Private Label QR turns ordinary household labels into dynamic digital reference points, using durable QR stickers that link physical objects to editable information accessible from any smartphone camera. Once attached to a box, appliance, container, suitcase, or keepsake, each label can store notes, photos, instructions, contact details, or organizational data that can be updated anytime without replacing the sticker itself. The system feels especially useful for the kind of real-world friction most smart-home products ignore, from labeling moving boxes and organizing pantry goods to leaving appliance instructions for Airbnb guests or preserving the stories tied to family heirlooms. With no app required and built-in controls for private, public, or group visibility, the platform lands somewhere between modern inventory management and a digital memory layer for everyday objects.

Salt & Stone occupies the increasingly rare space where performance body care and luxury fragrance genuinely overlap. Founded in Los Angeles by former professional snowboarder Nima Jalali, the brand was born from years spent battling sun, wind, cold, and altitude, resulting in a collection of body-care essentials designed to work as hard as they smell good. Its formulas combine naturally derived actives from the sea and mountains with sophisticated, gender-neutral scent profiles that extend across deodorants, body washes, lotions, oils, creams, and mists, creating a layered ritual rather than a collection of standalone products. Signature fragrances like Santal & Vetiver, Bergamot & Hinoki, and Black Rose & Oud feel more akin to niche perfumery than traditional grooming products, while ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, seaweed extracts, spirulina, and prebiotics keep the focus firmly on skin health. The result is a brand that treats daily body care less like maintenance and more like a sensory ritual built for people who demand equal parts wellness, performance, and scent.
The Air Force 1 has spent more than four decades proving it belongs almost anywhere. Now Nike takes the iconic silhouette back to one of the ideas that helped shape it. Originally inspired in part by the Nike Approach hiking boot, Bruce Kilgore's legendary design returns with a rugged update featuring a durable textile upper and a Vibram outsole built to tackle terrain beyond the pavement. Nike Air cushioning preserves the everyday comfort that made the AF1 a cultural icon, while the trail-ready sole adds dependable traction for mountain hikes, weekend escapes, and everything in between. It is a fitting evolution for Nike's best-selling sneaker, reminding us that the Air Force 1 has always been built to explore beyond the court.
NASA turns the Moon's sunrises and sunsets into a masterful, theater-worthy performance. The visuals were created using a digital 3D model built from images taken from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and actual Sun angles from 2018. The lunar day was then set to Claude Debussy's fitting "Clair de Lune" — which means "moonlight" in French — for a performance at the Kennedy Center to celebrate NASA's 60th anniversary.
The universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old. In all that time, one would think that at some point there has to have been at least one alien civilization in all that time. But astronomer Stephen Webb thinks we're all alone. In this TED talk, Webb explains his theory that there's nothing out there in the vast ocean of the universe.
