Bentley is going to build 7 special edition cars inspired by Breitling's flying team

Bentley Speed 8We've all pretended to be a fighter pilot while driving at least once.

Bentley is making that dream a little more realistic, for the lucky seven who can afford it.

Unfortunately, Bentley isn't building a personal jet. But, the luxury carmaker is partnering with the Breitling Jet Team to build seven, unique and individually numbered versions of its Continental GT Speed.

Each one will mimic the look and feel of a fighter jet, all while still having four wheels.

Each of the 7 cars corresponds to a jet from the Breitling Jet Team. Here, they mimic a formation practiced by the world famous acrobatic flying team.



The cars may not reach 565 miles per hour like their Czech jet counterparts, they're still plenty impressive.



A standard Bentley Continental GT Speed features a V12 engine capable of 626 horsepower. The special edition cars will have the same powerful engine.

Greece's pro-euro supporters just held a colossal rally in Athens — here's what people said on the ground

YES protest Greece Athens Syntagma

ATHENS, Greece — After Monday's huge rally against the bailout deal on offer for Greece, Tuesday was the turn of the pro-deal campaign to take its place in Syntagma Square, the focal point of Athens' political life.

The attendees want a "Yes" vote to the bailout in Greece's snap July 5 referendum. The the government, in contrast, is campaigning for people to vote "No." 

The demonstration was at least as well-attended as Monday's — I thought there were actually slightly more people, but it's not easy to tell from the ground. Both filled the square and spilled backwards and along side-streets. 

I noticed three major differences between Tuesday's protest and Monday's: Tuesday's was wetter, more middle class, and seemed a little angrier.

Check out the pictures and see what people had to say.

Like Monday's No vote rally, it was a pretty diverse demonstration, with people of all ages in attendance.



This man said "I don't like the bailout — I want big cuts in state spending, not even more taxes. But accepting the deal is far better than the alternative."



Sadly the weather didn't hold up for the Yes campaign, after the sunny evening for the No bloc the previous day.

Emirates is attacking its competitors by evoking the Golden Age of air travel

Emirates Golden Age

In Emirates' new ad titled "The Golden Age," the airline evokes the lost glamour and luxury of flight. In the commercial, the Dubai-based carrier references the legendary service of Pan Am's Jet Clippers of the 1950s and 60s. This is then contrasted with the crowded, impersonal experience of modern air travel. Finally, the airline argues that if you're looking for an updated Jet Set experience, Emirates is the place to be.

In the commercial, Emirates takes veiled shots at the service and product offerings of its western competitors. For what it's worth, Emirates — along with fellow Middle Eastern carriers Qatar and Etihad — is embroiled in a contentious dispute with a coalition of US airlines. American, Delta, and United Airlines accuse the Gulf trio of having received more than $42 billion in government subsidies over the past decade.

The 23 toughest interview questions you'll have to answer if you want to work at Netflix (NFLX)

reed hastings getty

If you want to work at Netflix, you might have to answer some hard interview questions first.

Using Glassdoor's information about Netflix, we've compiled some of the most difficult questions that people say they've been asked while interviewing for the streaming-broadcast company.

The questions say a lot about Netflix and its company culture.

Several years ago, Netflix published a summary of its management philosophy, which was instantly controversial for its lack of vacation policy, its stance on hiring "outstanding" employees only, and its culture of "freedom and responsibility" in which managers give their employees the right context to make decisions.

No matter if you're looking for a customer-service job or a more technical position, Netflix's interview questions will give you a run for your money.

What the abandoned venues from the 2004 Athens Olympics look like now

2004 athens olympics venues 8

The 2004 Athens Olympics went nearly $15 billion over its initial $1.6 billion budget, according to economist and professor Andrew Zimbalist, who wrote a book on the true cost of hosting large sporting events.

The majority of the cost overruns fell on the Greek government, which built all the expensive, highly specific buildings you need to host the Olympics — a village, a media center, an Olympic stadium, a canoe/kayak slalom center, etc.

When the athletes went home at the end of August 2004, organizers learned a cruel lesson — Athens has absolutely no use for a canoe/kayak slalom center.

Amid an economic crisis that has seen other parts of the city diminished, many of these 2004 stadiums have long since become white elephants. As these photos from 2014 show, the Olympic Village is empty, and the venues for softball, beach volleyball, and kayaking are all overrun with weeds.

With Greece unable to pay its debts and the IOC now struggling to find countries willing to host the Olympics, 2004 might be viewed as one of the last Olympics of an era when democratic nations saw the games as a worthwhile investment.

22 of the most awkward sports-sponsorship publicity photos from the past decade

Manchester United Vodafone

Sports-sponsorship announcements tend to be banal affairs.

There's usually a boring news conference in which nobody says anything of interest. And then there's the photo shoot in which the team's manager and the sponsor's CEO exchange a polite handshake. Everybody goes home, and it's mostly all forgotten about by the next day.

But some sponsorship photo shoots are too awkward — some painfully bad — to just pass us by. They need to be shared. And shared again years later. We've collated some of the best examples from the past decade or so.

All our Christmases came at once in October 2000 when Vodafone announced its sponsorship deal with Manchester United.



Ole Gunnar Solskjær (far right) isn't posing for the publicity shot. He's ringing his agent to demand a contract review.

Oprah WinfreyAs a new crop of high-school grads prepares for adulthood, a life-changing decision comes into focus: when, where, and whether to go to college.

Amid increasing tuition rates and growing student-loan debt, college grads still make 60% more than high-school grads on average.

But that doesn't mean college is the only path to success.

In addition to tech icon Bill Gates and media mogul Oprah Winfrey, several notable people dropped out of college. While they may be outliers, they show you don't need a degree to make it in business.

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to focus on Microsoft.

By the time he got to Harvard University, Gates had already been programming computers for at least five years. He created a computerized version of tic-tac-toe when he was 13 years old.

Gates dropped out of Harvard in 1975 to focus on Microsoft full time. The move sparked a lifetime of success for Gates, who is now estimated to be the richest man in the world



Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen ditched Washington State University to join forces with Gates.

While taking classes together in high school, Allen and Gates went into business together for the first time and created Traf-O-Data, a tool for tracking traffic flow in the Seattle area. After high school, they separated when Gates went to Harvard and Allen went to Washington State University, according to Forbes

The two dropped out of their respective schools to team up once again and start Microsoft. 



Oprah Winfrey left Tennessee State University to pursue a career in media.

Winfrey established her love for media while at East Nashville High School. She was on the speech team and worked for a local radio station, and she carried that passion with her to college. 

While a sophomore at Tennessee State University, Winfrey received a job offer from a local television station and left school to start her media career. The gamble paid off.

IslayIslay, a small island located 20 miles from the west coast of Scotland, has gained a reputation for making some of the best single-malt whisky in the world. 

The island is one of five whisky producing regions in Scotland to make single malt, but its rich agricultural landscape and unique recipes have made it one of the top producers of the liquor. 

Their traditional whisky-making dates back more than 600 years, so we decided to take a look into how this island produces its delectable blends.

Thanks to barely any road traffic in the area, the serene island is home to an abundance of animals like sheep and cattle.

But besides its wildlife, Islay also hosts a large amount of peat, a mossy fuel that is used to toast the barley on the island's distilleries. This process leads to the unique smoky flavor that their whiskies are known for.

These are the 3 bags every man should own

From carryalls to man-purses, it's not easy to figure out what kind of bag today's guys actually need.

The temptation is to fall back on the familiar and opt for a backpack. Unfortunately, while that approach might have worked in college, it's not going to cut it in the adult world. You're going to need a "wardrobe" of bags, for specific purposes.

But fear not. We have cut through the field of "murses" to find the only three bags every man should have.

With the versatility of these three bags, there's very little you can't accomplish.

A briefcase for the daily slog

briefcase This is an easy one.

Most men know how important it is to have a stylish, appropriate bag for the workplace. A solid briefcase commands respect. It will give you confidence when heading into important business meetings.

Today's gentleman isn't limited to stuffy, rectangular boxes or black nylon computer bags, either. With a range of leather and canvas models like Jack Spade's gorgeous tan Fulton Leather Darrow Brief and Filson's tough-as-nails Original Brief, you can easily find the briefcase appropriate for your office and your life.

A duffel bag for weekend getaways

dufflebagsEven when you're not working, you still need a bag. A small duffel is perfect for short weekend trips and other small excursions. These bags are the perfect size to hold all your stuff while still being manageable enough to easily lug around with you.

Mix style with durability in Filson's Medium Duffel or appreciate the simplicity of Everlane's minimal design with its Weekender, which are two of our favorites.

A stylish bag for the gym

dufflebag

Last but not least, you can't forget about having a bag for all your sweaty gym clothes.

No, you can't just use the duffel bag that you use for weekend trips! Your gym bag should ideally be smaller and a little less decorative, but still appropriate to carry into the office.

Basically, you should have a bag you don't mind filling with sweaty socks, like Herschel's Sutton Duffel, which comes in a sleek, nondescript black.

ingrid nilsen comes out youtube

Coming out as gay can feel like an isolating experience — but YouTube users are proving it doesn't have to be.

The YouTube coming-out video has become its own mini-genre in the past few years. Actress Ellen Page, Olympian Tom Daley, and YouTube star Ingrid Nilsen are among the many people who've gone viral on the platform while publicly revealing their sexual orientation. 

And after these reveals, millions of views, likes, and positive comments come rolling in. The messages of support usually outnumber the hateful comments — a welcome contrast to the YouTube community's reputation as a place for nasty commenters.

Last week, YouTube released an emotional video in celebration of the SCOTUS decision to legalize gay marriage in the United States, reminding us all that when people are looking for solidarity while trying to find the strength to come out, YouTube is one of the first places they go.

Here are the top 10 most viewed YouTube coming-out videos of all time.

The most expensive ZIP code in America isn't in Silicon Valley.

It's Sagaponack, New York, the summer destination of Billy Joel and the Clinton family, among others.

Over the past year, homes in the area, part of the Hamptons, sold for a median price of over $5 million.

The list of most expensive ZIP codes was compiled by the data team at real estate listings site Property Shark, which calculated the median sale price for each ZIP code based on closed sales that took place between January 2014 and June 2015.

They found that the most expensive places to buy a house are on either coast, with New York, Florida, and California dominating the list.

Here's what the most exclusive communities in the country look like.

All median sale price data was provided by Property Shark. Median household income comes from the US Census Bureau.

9 things successful people do right before bed

The very last thing you do before bed tends to have a significant impact on your mood and energy level the next day, as it often determines how well and how much you sleep.

Successful people understand that their success starts and ends with their mental and physical health, which is almost entirely dependent upon their getting enough sleep.

That is why bedtime routines are a key ritual for so many of them — and why the very last thing most successful people do before bed is read.

1. They read.

Experts agree that reading is the very last thing most successful people do before going to sleep.

Michael Kerr, an international business speaker and author of "You Can't Be Serious! Putting Humor to Work," says he knows numerous business leaders who block off time just before bed for reading, going so far as to schedule it as a "non-negotiable item" on their calendar. "This isn't necessarily reserved just for business reading or inspirational reading. Many successful people find value in being browsers of information from a variety of sources, believing it helps fuel greater creativity and passion in their lives."

For example, while some successful people use this time catch up on news stories from the day, skim tech blogs, or browse Reddit and Twitter, others enjoy reading fiction novels and ancient philosophy just before bed. 



2. They make a to-do list.

"Clearing the mind for a good night sleep is critical for a lot of successful people," Kerr says. "Often they will take this time to write down a list of any unattended items to address the following day, so these thoughts don't end up invading their head space during the night."



3. They spend time with family.

Michael Woodward, Ph.D., organizational psychologist and author of "The YOU Plan," says it's important to make some time to chat with your partner, talk to your kids, or play with your dog.

Laura Vanderkam, author of "What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast," says this is a common practice among the highly successful. "I realize not everyone can go to bed at the same time as his or her partner, but if you can, it's a great way to connect and talk about your days."

Amazon attracts super talented people. Want proof? Here are 13 startups ex-employees founded (AMZN)

Amazon Jeff Bezos

The e-commerce powerhouse Amazon has spawned a wide range of startups, with its former employees working on everything from cute robots to recruiting software.

If you want proof that Amazon recruits some seriously talented people, just look at what they're doing now. 

Flipkart actually competes head-to-head with Amazon in India.

Flipkart founders Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal both worked at Amazon before ditching in 2007 to start their own new company with a very similar business model.

The startup took off and Flipkart is now India's largest online marketplace in terms of sales.

Amazon, meanwhile, didn't enter India until 2012 with the price-comparison site Junglee (which it had acquired way back in the late 90s). It opened its official India website in June 2013. A year later, Flipkart raised a mammoth $1 billion funding round. Exactly one day later, Amazon said it was planning to pour $2 billion into its Indian operations. Flipkart currently employees 33,000 people and attracts more than 10 million daily visits.



Hointer founder Nadia Shouraboura brings the principles she learned at Amazon to brick-and-mortar retail.

Nadia Shouraboura worked at Amazon for 8 years, during which she scaled all the way up the corporate ladder into CEO Jeff Bezos’ elite “S-Team” of direct reports.

She eventually left in 2012 to launch Hointer, a futuristic retail store that wants to make the shopping experience as convenient as possible by integrating in-store apps and automating the process as much as possible. In its Seattle store, Hointer whisks clothing in and out of dressing rooms with robots. 



Matt Williams founded Pro.com to make every home improvement project a breeze.

Former Digg CEO, Andreessen Horowitz entrepreneur in residence, and long-time Amazon employee Matt Williams put together an ex-Amazon dream-team to take the pain out of home projects.

Pro.com gives people looking to tackle a home improvement project a price estimate for both materials and labor and then recommends professionals to get the job done.  

During his 12 years at Amazon, Williams did a stint as Jeff Bezos' shadow, an incredibly elite position. Williams has raised upwards of $17 million for Pro and a bunch of his coworkers are ex-Amazoners as well. 

After working at Amazon but before starting Pro, Williams served as Digg's CEO and an Andreessen Horowitz entrepreneur in residence.

McDonald's India offers many vegetarian items, from the McVeggie to the Veg Pizza McPuff, which features tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and an array of vegetables. Many international McDonald's sell veggie-friendly items, but American McDonald's do not, because they do not sell well here.



McDonald's India's McPaneer Royale

According to McDonald's India's website, "McDonald's has developed a menu especially for India with vegetarian selections to suit the Indian palate, and has also re-engineered its operations to address the special requirements of vegetarians." Further proof, another vegetarian item: the McPaneer Royale, which features paneer cheese, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno peppers, and a cheese and onion sauce.

Tokyo pop culture never ceases to baffle me.

Just when I think I’ve seen it all, I’ll come across a Pokemon café or horror bar that leaves me scratching my head in disbelief.

Armed with tips from travel-planning site Odigo, I spent a day exploring strange new attractions in Tokyo, Japan.

I ate at a puppy-themed cafe and shopped for stuffed toys at the Harajuku Line Friends store.

On the man-made Odaiba island, I watched a J-pop boy band dance under a 60-foot-tall robot.

At nightfall, I sipped bloody cocktails at a bar based on Dario Argento’s cult film, “Suspiria.” Then I partied with the city’s most flamboyant club kids at Decabar Z in Shinjuku.

Disclaimer: La Carmina and Borderless Media were hosted by Japan travel app, Odigo.

Watch La Carmina’s travel video about Tokyo.

The “Guest” diner in Parco Shibuya held a Pokemon pop-up café. Japanese teens lined up for hours for a chance to wear costumes and dine with their favorite anime characters.



Everything on the menu looked too cute to eat. I ordered a Pikachu latte with ears made out of chocolate-dipped wafers.



Dessert arrived in a dramatic “Poke-ball” steaming with dry ice smoke. The dish came with a chocolate pen for drawing on the pancakes.
