First Drive: 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed Is an Electrifying Engineering Marvel

The Swiss Alps didn’t take long to captivate my imagination while exploring the mountain terrain using the heroics of the new 2025 Bentley Continental GT Speed, the perfect vessel when venturing to faraway lands. After experiencing the exciting roads, refreshing air, and timeless moments in the quaint village town of Andermatt, I vowed to return again, especially if a Bentley coupe or convertible is at my disposal. Bentley held the international press drive of its all-new 2025 Continental GT Speed (and GTC Speed cabriolet) in Switzerland , where the cities are vibrant and sophisticated and the countryside is breathtaking.

Men and Women Process Pain Differently, So Why Are They Treated the Same?

This Spicy New American Single Malt Whiskey Is Perfect for Fall Sipping

American single malt has been around for decades, but it still doesn’t have the legal definition that other American whiskeys like bourbon and rye have. Distillers and whiskey fans thought that was about to change a few years ago when the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB, the federal agency in charge of alcohol) took up the matter.  To this date, there are still no set guidelines in place. The American Single Malt Whiskey Commission (ASMWC) proposed the following rules, which are likely what will be instituted when the government finally gets around to it: American single malt must be made from a mash bill of 100 percent barley at one distillery in the U.S., matured in new or used oak casks, distilled to no more than 160 proof, and bottled at a minimum of 80 proof. Portland, OR, distillery Westward Whiskey was a founding member of the ASMWC, and it has been making single malt for about 20 years that meets all of those qualifications. The whiskey is informed by three ...

This Type of Exercise Could Suppress Appetite, Study Finds

Healthier eating and portion control is a critical part of any weight loss journey, with exercise making up the other crucial component. It turns out that doing one might actually help with the other.  A new study published Oct. 24 in the Journal of the Endocrine Society outlines what researchers found when investigating the link between exercise intensity and production of ghrelin, a hunger hormone that increases our drive to eat. The small trial involved 14 participants as scientists observed how exercise sessions affected their appetite.  "We found that high-intensity exercise suppressed ghrelin levels more than moderate-intensity exercise. In addition, we found that individuals felt 'less hungry' after high-intensity exercise compared to moderate-intensity exercise," study lead author Kara Anderson told Men's Health . However, it only applies to strenuous exercise, as moderate exercise led to higher ghrelin levels than those observed in a non-exercising c...

Neeson appears in a cover story for the latest issue of People , in which he looks back at his life and career. When asked if he's dating, the Academy Award-nominated actor did not mince words. "No, in a word. I’m past all that," he responded. The couple, who met while performing in a Broadway revival of Anna Christie in 1993, were married from 1994 to 2009, until Richardson died due to a severe head injury she suffered in a skiing accident in Montreal. Neeson began dating public relations executive Freya St. Johnston about a year after his wife's death in a relationship that lasted for two years, but hasn't been linked to anyone else since then. Before meeting Richardson, he previously dated Barbra Streisand, Brooke Shields, and Helen Mirren. "It was a horrible ...
