Nau’s Story of Recycled Down, Episode 1: Design

The Story of Recycled Down - Episode 1: Design | Nau 2015

Nau is committed to sustainability in their entire line, so it should come as no surprise that this year their designers figured out a way to recycle used goose down. Using a cleaning process, they are able to restore the loft of each piece of apparel to a like new condition. We’ll be following this series on their Fall/Winter 2015 line closely as they role out more transparency initiatives for the environmentally conscious consumer.

Action Cam | Robbie Maddison's Pipe Dream POV 4K | Sony

If you haven’t seen the full video for Robbie Maddison and DC’s project Pipe Dream, stop what you’re doing and watch it right now. Not every many people are crazy enough to even think of “surfing” on a motocross bike, and even fewer athletes who can pull it off. We spotted this little behind the scenes look put together from Robbie’s helmet and on board cameras, while doing some research on our new Sony Action Cam. We doubt we’ll ever film anything quite this epic, but expect a full review of this powerful little camera soon.

The Program Movie Trailer

The Program - New Official Trailer - In Cinemas October 16

The rise and fall of Lance Armstrong is alternatively a heroic effort and a soap opera. Far from casting the fabled Tour de France winner as a benevolent Titan, The Program looks like an much more brutally honest account of the rampant doping in cycling in the last two decades. No word on a US release date, but you can bet we’ll be there on opening night when it does come out.

8 gripping shows like The Recruit you should watch next
These shows don't have Noah Centineo, but they're still thrilling
Netflix on a laptop

If there's one type of show Netflix has thoroughly mastered, it's anything adjacent to the spy/CIA/thriller/undercover genre. There are so many adventure series in this vein that they all start to blend into each other. Right as people were just wrapping up binging The Night Agent, Netflix had The Recruit ready to go. Noah Centineo stars as an inexperienced CIA lawyer who thinks he's got his career under control until someone with dirt on him starts to extort the CIA.

There's nothing inherently unique about The Recruit, but that doesn't mean it's not one of the most enjoyable watches on the streaming service this month. This thriller is like a good bag of potato chips. It's TV junk food that tastes great and helps with the afternoon munchies. If you're looking for a similarly constructed and themed series, these are the shows like The Recruit to watch next.

Jurassic World Rebirth appears to be a dream come true for the Avengers actress
Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey in Jurassic World Rebirth

Scarlett Johansson is one of the stars of Jurassic World Rebirth, and to hear her tell it, she's been waiting for this moment for years. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Johansson spent years sending rumors of new Jurassic Park movies to her agents because she was simply that desperate to join the franchise.

“I was really crazy about the [original] film, and I slept in a Jurassic Park pup tent in my bedroom I shared with my sister for a year,” Johansson said about her enduring love for the franchise. “Anytime the trades would report a new ‘Jurassic’ movie, I would forward to my agents like, ‘Hey, I’m available.’”
