Q: Caching and retrieving list of data using memcached I need to store a list of data in the cache.
Sometimes I'll need full list sometimes I'll only need to query the results and return one item from the list.
Current logic for one item is this:
User result;
var cachedUsers = _cache.Get<List<User>>(Constants.Cache.UsersKey);
if( cachedUsers != null)
{
    result = cachedUsers.FirstOrDefault(u => u.UserID == userID);

    if (result != null)
        return result;
}

result = GetUserFromDb(userID);

if (cachedUsers != null)
{
    cachedUsers.Add(result);
    _cache.Store(StoreMode.Set, Constants.Cache.UsersKey, cachedUsers);
}

return result;

Can I access one element directly from the cache without loading full list of users? I'd also need to logic to add a user into the cache without loading full list and overwriting it.
EDIT: I have option to store items separate from the list, or write the cache from scratch with different approach.
What is the best way to implement this logic?

A: The most granular action you can do is to retrieve a particular key. If you store a list of items under that key, you get the list. To get exactly one item, you'll need to store an item per key.
There are various strategies for this, however note that atomicity is at the key level so doing actions across multiple keys could result in race conditions.
Personally, I would custom serialize your list (instead of relying on default .NET serialization) as this will be fairly quick. But this depends on how many times "sometimes" is when talking about updating individual keys or requesting individual keys. The common sense "store it as you will use it" will apply here.
For the custom serialization, we use Protobuf-net and store the resulting byte[] into the cache manually - as in, the caches takes and gives a byte[] and we do the serialization manually.

A: Short answer is no. You cached the entire list and the cache is dumb it doesn't know what you've cached just that you've cached a block of data. You have to pull it all back.
However, I once got around this by caching items individually with a set pattern for the key and then caching a list index separately. However it was somewhat rather tedious to manage and you then have multiple objects all with their own cache life times.

The real magic of family dinners
by Carolyn Moynihan Sep 28, 2010 Nov 27, 2019 / 3 mins /
September 27 was CASA Family Dinner Day in the United States and a report from the research centre confirms the important role of family dinners in keeping teenagers connected to their parents and free of substance abuse.
CASA stands for the National Centre on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. This is its tenth Family Day and its sixth report highlighting the benefits of family dinners for children growing up — in this case, 12- to 17-year-olds. CASA founder and chairman, Joseph A Califano Jr, says:
This year's study demonstrates that the magic that happens at family dinners isn't the food on the table, but the conversations around it. Three in four teens report that they talk to their parents about what's going on in their lives during dinner; and eight in 10 parents agree that by having family dinner they learn more about what's going on in their teens' lives. These conversations are key: Teens who say that they talk to their parents about what's going in on their lives over dinner are less likely to smoke, drink and use marijuana than teens who don't have such talks with their parents.
Talking around the table strengthens family ties. Compared to teens with strong family ties, those with weak ties are:
* Four times likelier to have tried tobacco
* Four times likelier to have tried marijuana
* Almost three times likelier to have tried alcohol.
Teens who have frequent family dinners (5 to 7 per week) are much more likely to report that they have an excellent relationship with their mother and their father (step-parents are included) and that their parents are very good at listening to them.
Young people themselves understand the importance of eating dinner with their parents (almost three-quarters) and, of those who do so less than five nights a week, 60 per cent would like to have family dinners more often.
So what would stop them? Both teens and parents cite being "too busy" or "different activities" as the leading reason, and overlapping with that, "work", although teens are twice as likely to be at work during mealtime (38 per cent compared with 19 per cent of parents).
The give and take around meals has a practical aspect. Up to two-thirds of teens questioned said they helped with the dinner: 39 per cent with meal preparation; 49 per cent with setting the table; 66 per cent with cleaning up after. The spin-off in their favour was that 57 per cent had input into the decision about what to eat.
Besides protecting teenagers from exposure to drugs and alcohol, dining with their parents correlates with higher academic grades and with regular religious service attendance.
The study does not say how religious attendance has its positive effect, but teenagers may hear explicit messages against substance abuse from pastors and youth leaders; more importantly they are likely sharing another activity with their parents, and one which fosters respect for parents and their values.
Regular religious service attendance is associated with lower rates of smoking, drinking and drug use.
Teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to attend religious services weekly (four or more times a month) compared to teens who have infrequent family dinners.
Compared to teens who attend religious services at least four times a month, those who never attend services are twice as likely to have tried cigarettes, nearly twice as likely to have tried alcohol, and two and a half times likelier to have tried marijuana.
CASA surveys show that about 60 per cent of teenagers have frequent family dinners, and this figure has been constant over the past decade.

The future of smartphones is 5G, with speeds that can compete with your current Wi-Fi connection, but we're also hearing the trend towards the foldable phone from 2019.
The good news is that the chip maker Qualcomm is ready to to support the foldable telephone revolution. The company's new Snapdragon 855 chipset supports this idea, though folding elements were not a big issue at the Snapdragon summit in Hawaii.
"We are ready for [foldable phones]," said Keith Kressin, senior vice president of Qualcomm Product Management in response to a question from TechRadar. "And if an OEM wants to launch a mobile phone with a Snapdragon 855, that's fantastic."
However, Kressin has quickly stated that "we will not talk much about it," noting that "we decide." We have no specific features we would like to announce today. "This year's Snapdragon Summit focused on 5G.
Foldable phones would require only minor chip changes to support the advent of foldable phones."
"Changes are needed," Kressin said. "But instead of focusing on processing It's more likely to focus on changes to the display subsystem and some GPU changes. "
In other words, minor changes may be required, and he notes that any changes to the system" on a chip "depend on how the system works So far, there's only one OEM partner from Qualcomm showing a foldable phone prototype: Samsung.
9. At the CES 2019 or MWC 2019 one could expect more from see this phone.
There is no guarantee that Samsung will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 in its foldable phone – or any phone, including the inevitable Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus.
The two companies, however, work closely together: Samsung uses Snapdragon chipsets in some of its flagship phones and, in fact, creates Qualcomm's chips through a strategic partnership.
When TechRadar asked Samsung To comment on the future of foldable phones, the company preferred to wait until its hardware could fully be shown in 2019. At this point, the next Snapdragon Summit might include surprises for chip items that are suitable for folding.

Wrestle Pro Newsletter
WWE Night of Champions Preview
By: Irvin Wayne Clarke
Another month, and it's time for another WWE Pay-Per-View, so it's time to break down the Card from bottom to top.
Natalya vs Brie Bella vs Cameron vs AJ Lee (c) for the Diva's Championship
Easily the weakest match of the announced card. AJ has been carrying the division, and now she's defending against not one, but THREE members of the Total Diva's cast. Natalya being in this match, while being part of the Total Diva's cast, kind of makes up for it, due to her raw talent in the ring. AJ and Natalya's technical acumen might not be enough to bring this match up to par, but I think it's time to put the belt on Nattie. She's got the pedigree, the training, and the skill. What's not to like about having a champion with those credentials?
Prediction: Natalya via Sharpshooter
Tons of Funk vs The Shield (Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) (c's) for the WWE World Tag Team Championships
It's a good thing the Shield have the token big-guy enforcer in their fold. While Reigns has been merely window dressing in the Shield, he might need to wear down Tons of Funk in order for Seth Rollins to finish the deal. Rollins has grown by leaps and bounds since being called to the main roster, and should've been called up sooner. He works up to his competitor's level, so leaving him in NXT was a bad call, but that's a story for another day. Tons of Funk are just here to be a filler title defense. I predict that next month the Shield face some real competition for the tag titles, and ten the Shield can work on bigger and better things in time for the Royal Rumble.
Prediction: The Shield via Blackout
Dolph Ziggler vs Dean Ambrose (c) for the United States Championship
Ziggler is just treading water until a spot in the main event opens up. He's been struggling as a babyface since being turned at Payback, when he lost the title to Del Rio (what a train wreck that was). If he had stayed heel, he could've been competing against RVD, Bryan, or Punk. There would have been a much better variety in the main event, had that concussion that sparked the turn never happened. Because of these facts, Ambrose has this easily.
Prediction: Ambrose via Headlock Driver
CM Punk vs Curtis Axel & Paul Heyman
In a match that's been building since Money in the Bank, Punk looks to gain some retribution on his former best friend and manager. Curtis Axel has seen a boost of success since being redebuted as a Heyman Guy, and he's the holder of the prestigious Intercontinental Championship. While Axel has grown leaps and bounds, he's paired with a non-wrestler, and all of Paul's tricks won't help him against the man he mentored, the best in the world, CM Punk.
Prediction: CM Punk via Anaconda Vise (on Axel) & GTS (on Heyman)
Rob Van Dam vs Alberto Del Rio (c) for the World Heavyweight Championship
Refreshing to see RVD back on WWE TV. He looked so unmotivated in TNA. Del Rio, the charisma-less nebula, has gotten the upper hand on RVD of late, ever since RVD stole Ricardo from Del Rio. So all signs point to a title change here, and let the glorious reign of ROB... VAN... DAM begin! RVD wins, and carries the title to the Royal Rumble.
Prediction: RVD via Five-Star Frog Splash
Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton (c) for the WWE Championship
Randy Orton has been riding the Authority's coattails for the last month, with HHH having Orton's back at all turns, of course. I think Bryan is talented, and resiliant enough to overcome this though. The way I see it is that Bryan as champion, rebelling against the Authority is the best story the WWE can give us. A fighting champion that proves his worth in the ring, overcoming all the obstecals that are thrown his way while retaining the title. Story writes itself til Wrestlemania. Orton served his purpose turning and establishing the Authority's mindset, so he doesn't need the title anymore.
Prediction: Daniel Bryan via Running Knee
The card looks average on paper, so it'll probably be below average in execution. There are too few announced matches for this card to make it interesting. What's going on with Cesaro, Sandow and Kidd? Couldn't they have given us two more matches to give us a reason to give a damn? Apart from the top two title matches, Punk, and Ambrose, there's not a lot to look forward to.
On Paper Score: **1/2

Glorious. Wrestle Pro Newsletter is officially entered in the predictions game. If this wins, you get to choose a Main Event match, but must do it in character.
Clarke has different bases than our friend Heelz4Reelz
I leave it open-ended for readers to submit as many IWC prediction sets as they'd like, each eligible to win. The only condition is that they have to provide hilarious commentary. Whichever entry wins, the prize must be redeemed in the character submitted.
Because, yeah, I'm totally doing this diary so that I can read the IWC reports. Telling my own story is secondary, and probably tertiary.
It took me a minute to find a proper name for the columnist for WPN. I feel like I nailed it.

Fuck it, I'm not sending in more than 1 IWC report per PPV, because fuck that mindset.
The Written Transcript of the Youtube post of ECDubHeymanGuy's Night of Champions Preview Video
Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton (c)
This is the match I should be most excited for but this is the one I want to see the least. I want Bryan Danielson to win. He deserves it. He's been fighting and clawing for over a decade when nobody thought he could get here to the WWE, that he couldn't be a real superstar, that he didn't have the charisma to get the women and kids behind him, that he couldn't be the WWE champion, and he's proven everyone wrong every step of the way.
And then there's Randy Orton, the guy who has gotten about 47 chances to succeed even when he's done everything he can to screw up his career and his life in general. And yet here we are again with Orton being shoved down our throats again.
The guy who shouldn't be here vs. The guy who gets every chance. I know who I'd pick, but Vince is so biased that he'll never do it. He'll never give Bryan the ball to run.
WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Rob Van Dam vs. Alberto Del Rio (c)
ROB~!
VAN~!
DAM~!
*Does the thumb pose*
And if Sandow tries to cash it in on him, he's going to eat that briefcase with a Van Terminator
Dolph Ziggler vs. Dean Ambrose (c)
If these guys get 15 minutes, this will steal the show. No pun intended. Ziggler can definitely keep up with Ambrose but if they get time everyone that isn't a believer will be on the Jon Moxley bandwagon, I said it. Jon Fucking Moxley. Give him the chance to show the WWE "Universe" what he's really made of and you'll have a superstar on your hands. Or just put him in there with William Regal and let them teach everyone how it's done
CM Punk vs. Paul Heyman & Curtis Axel
This is going to be so glorious. I really think Punk deserves a good 20 minutes here. Just long enough to make Axel look like a threat then get him out of the way so Punk and Heyman can make magic. Their chemistry is so ridiculous that I could watch them keep this up for the rest of the year. Sure I think Punk wins, but maybe someone new will become a Heyman Guy just to give Punk fresh meat to fight with for a little while longer. Just as long as this one keeps going because there's nobody I want to see Punk FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT more than Paul E Dangerous
WWE Divas Championship
Natalya vs. Brie Bella vs. Naomi vs. AJ Lee (c)
Picking the one I want to have sex with the most to win. Seems the most reasonable way to pick
Tons of Funk vs. The Shield (Rollins & Reigns) (c's)
This is the most throwaway of throwaway matches. Wake me up with The Rhodes Family comes back and I can start caring about the rest of The Shield
Overall, this card has potential but they've got to have the courage to make the right choices: Give Ziggler and Ambrose time to shine, keep Punk and Heyman going cause they're the most consistent story on the show, and for the love of fucking God, show some grapefruits Vince and Triple H and Stephanie and put the WWE Championship on Bryan Danielson right now while he's the hottest wrestler on the planet
The logic on that Divas call is flawless.
I feel dirty for reading that.
I felt so dirty writing it. I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE everything about Naomi
I'm sure that was a trying experience for you. But well done, good man, well done.
Ball's in your court, Nucks, if you'd like to join the scandalous IWC train.
Translation: Please bring some of your sweet Carny lovin' to this party
I already made my predictions, and I'm knee deep in my outlines right now, trying to determine how each of the central PoV characters stories unfold from book to book. Which I have to get done tonight, as I have an early rise tomorrow and will likely be exhausted by tomorrow evening to the point where looking at the outlines is a pipedream, and I told my muse I'd have them done for her to look over before the weekend ended. So, I'm trying to get ahead of my homework, so to speak.

Shame on you. You don't need to pull a TNA here.
The difference between TNA & I is that I only take the good ideas from the dirt sheets. Also that I don't have it envelope the show. Also that it's integrated into what's happening, rather than derailing. Also that it's used as inspiration, rather than a script. Et cetera.


The Anxious Father of Twins: 5 Months Old!
Our twins are 5 months old today. Time has sure gone by quickly since the moment that they were born and our lives changed.
There have definitely been some frustrating and hectic moments, but they are more than worth it! They are a blessing.


What were your first thoughts when you heard the Project Management Institute (PMI) awarded BC Hydro the 2016 PMO of the Year Award?
I was thrilled, it was the culmination of many years of work by a number of people. It is nice to receive recognition that the effort and investments we have made have resulted in a leading Project Management Office at BC Hydro!
Team building activities are great for sharing laughs and improving morale. Can you tell us any funny stories from your team building activities?
I had only just started at UBC and the first team event was a Christmas Lunch. They were looking for someone to be Santa and being new to the group I volunteered as I thought it would be a good opportunity to meet everyone. I was provided with a Santa suit that came with many accessories (beard, boots, etc.). On the day I got ready and was being introduced at the lunch. I walked out with all eyes on me and got about half way across the room and my Santa suit pants fell down! I certainly made an entrance. This broke the ice with the team, although I did receive many comments like "we will invite Neil to the meeting but only if he keeps his pants on"!
As a father, what advice would you give your children as they entertain different career paths?
It is important to figure out where your passion and interest is and to have an objective or goal in mind.
What are three words that define what you do?
One book that I recently read was "The Happiness Equation" by Neil Pasricha. This inspired me to think about my own personal and professional happiness. I think that increasing happiness in the workplace will lead to more engaged and productive employees. I am using this book to try and lead by example.
The Happiness Equation, Neil Pasricha.
I have two morning routines, depending on whether I have to take one of my daughters to school. Both involve stopping at Starbucks for a drink. I either start at the office around 7 am or 8 am if I drop one of my daughters off at school. After arriving at the office I like to think of my key priorities for the day and upcoming week before I get going.
Thank you Neil for taking the time to answer our questions and allowing us to get to know you better. We are looking forward to your presentation on BC Hydro's "PMI 2016 PMO of the Year" award.

Breaking news of the world's conflicts is available at every turn – on the television, in the papers, on the Internet. Every 15 minutes we can access the latest updates. "Explosions rock Baghdad." "North Korea officially withdraws from nuclear arms treaty." "U.S. forces fired upon in Afghanistan." By the time you read this, undoubtedly more breaking news will have surfaced.
It's easy to be swept away by the reports, and it's reasonable to worry about the impact the events will have on your investments. But successful investors don't allow this noise to distract them from their plan.
Does Your Financial Advisor Work for You?
Not that long ago, people only met with a realtor to find out what houses he was selling. Of course, that's no longer the case. Today, most people hire their own realtor when they're ready to purchase a home, and that realtor represents he buyer's interests, not the seller's.
The same can be true of investments. While an individual can meet with an insurance agent or stockbroker to learn if any products that person sells might fit their needs, that agent or broker doesn't necessarily represent the buyer's interests — your interests.
More and more people are choosing to work with an unbiased financial professional who does not sell a particular product or try to make that product fit. Financial planners work with their clients to assess their needs, and then go out and find the solutions that best meet those needs.

Sixty years of innovation and collaboration
Photo by Jesse S. Jones

As the old adage goes, age is nothing but a number.
Though many of the nation's medical schools have been open longer, the list of accomplishments of the faculty, staff and students at the University of Florida College of Medicine is varied and illustrious. From the invention of Gatorade to the recent separation of conjoined twin girls connected at the heart and liver, the last 60 years at the UF College of Medicine have been marked by innovation and collaboration.
Toni Ganzel, M.D., M.B.A., of the University of Louisville School of Medicine; Joseph Kerschner, M.D., of the Medical College of Wisconsin; and E. Albert Reece, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., of the University of Maryland School of Medicine participated in a national deans' panel moderated by UF College of Medicine dean Michael L. Good, M.D. Photo by Mindy C. Miller
To celebrate, the College of Medicine hosted two days of events: a national deans' panel tackled issues facing the academic medicine community. An anniversary gala treated more than 250 friends to a night of food, music and entertainment. An appreciation barbecue in conjunction with the 60th anniversary of the College of Nursing fed more than 850 who call the UF Health Science Center home.
The national deans' panel, moderated by Michael L. Good, M.D., dean of the UF College of Medicine, featured dialogue from three medical school deans from Kentucky, Wisconsin and Maryland. More than 175 students, faculty and staff listened to discussion on topics like student wellness, cultivating creativity in curriculum, and diversity and non-traditional medical students. A live stream of the event generated viewers from across the country.
Dr. Good said the opportunities and challenges facing the UF College of Medicine are not unique to Gainesville.
"As we enter the national conversation about how we can best prepare physicians for the health care environment, it's helpful to hear the perspectives of three deans from longstanding and prominent institutions," he said.
Dean of the University of Louisville School of Medicine Toni Ganzel, M.D., M.B.A., outlined three goals for the future of academic medicine.
"We need to reaffirm the joy and privilege of educating the next generation of physicians. We need to acknowledge the challenges we face in a rapidly evolving health care system in terms of research, education and community partnerships," she said. "And we need to chart a path that addresses the needs of both the learners and the health care systems."
"We need to reaffirm the joy and privilege of educating the next generation of physicians." — Toni Ganzel, M.D., M.B.A.
Dean of the School of Medicine and executive vice president of the Medical College of Wisconsin Joseph Kerschner, M.D., said a culture of wellness and positive relationships among both students and faculty will increase output.
"To create a culture of wellness and those practices we want, we have to practice it within ourselves first," he said. "Focusing on our treatment toward each other comes down to mentorship and professionalism. We have a real responsibility to serve as mentors whenever possible."

Dean of the School of Medicine and vice president for medical affairs at the University of Maryland E. Albert Reece, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., said the system of academic medicine as a whole is not broken, but there are areas to address.
"Diversity doesn't happen spontaneously. One has to make it a priority," he said. "Diversity is human nature. It's reflected in genetics. We have to work to maintain that diversity, which is the fabric of human nature."
Later that evening, more than 250 of the UF College of Medicine's faculty, staff, alumni, donors and students attended a gala held in the George T. Harrell, M.D., Medical Education Building. The night kicked off with a flash mob performance from the class of 2019, singing and dancing to The Black Eyed Peas' anthem "I Gotta Feeling."
Dr. Good presided over the evening. He called his post as the ninth dean of the College of Medicine a unique privilege and a humbling responsibility.
"I've learned so much about the rich history of our college," he said. "There are so many individuals and teams responsible for this 60-year journey of innovation and collaboration."
University of Florida President Dr. W. Kent Fuchs said, "This college will indeed lead us into the future."
The evening's speakers included four descendants of founding and early college faculty turned current faculty members, Drs. Heather and Grant Harrell, Dr. Alice Rhoton-Vlasak and Dr. Kayser Enneking. Entertainment continued with a filmed conversation among Dr. Good and the college's former deans, as well as a series of faux-newscasts, which wove together facts and humor to illustrate the college's history and impact. A former patient of UF Health Shands Children's Hospital and current second-year UF medical student, Hanna Peterson, performed a song and expressed her thanks to William Slayton, M.D., and those responsible for fighting her battle with Hodgkin's lymphoma when she was 12.
"This college will indeed lead us into the future." — President Fuchs
Chief executive officer of University of Florida Health Shands Ed Jimenez said, "When we can provide hope where hope wasn't, we have served one of our purposes."
Events wrapped up the following afternoon with a barbecue in the Health Professions/Nursing/Pharmacy complex courtyard hosted by the UF College of Medicine and UF College of Nursing in honor of the colleges' 60 years. Gators mascot Alberta was on hand to motivate students and staff into receiving their flu shots. Food for 850 was provided by Hill's BBQ & Catering.

June 8, 2018 PRESS RELEASE
"Tricking" Bacteria into Hydroxylating Benzene
Nagoya University researchers use E.coli to convert benzene into phenol, simplifying a chemical reaction that is difficult by conventional methods.
press released on June 11, 2018

Nagoya, Japan - Breaking carbon-hydrogen bonds is notoriously difficult in lab chemistry, yet nature does it effortlessly. Now, scientists have used E.coli bacteria to oxidize the C-H bonds in benzene to generate phenol, with a genetically inserted enzyme (cytochrome P450BM3), that originally evolved to target other molecules, long-chain fatty acids.
Getting enzymes to do novel reactions - effectively hijacking the biochemistry of living cells for our own purposes - is generally tricky, involving harsh conditions or genetic modification of the enzymes themselves.
However, researchers at Nagoya University worked around this by using "decoy" molecules, which mimic the native targets (substrates) of naturally occurring enzymes, to activate the desired reaction.
As reported in Angewandte Chemie International Edition, the research team created a compound - dubbed C7-Pro-Phe - based on amino acids. This decoy molecule resembles the fatty acids that E.coli metabolizes. Insert the decoy into an E.coli cell, and it will be mis-recognized as a fatty acid, triggering activation of the inserted P450 enzyme. Now supply benzene (C6H6), and the bacteria get busy, oxidizing C6H6 to C6H6O (phenol). No need for the usual lab kit - living cells can do complex chemistry quietly and efficiently.

"The advantage of our system is that C7-Pro-Phe can be easily taken up by the bacteria, where it activates P450BM3 in the cell. This effectively turns each bacteriuminto a whole-cell biocatalyst," study first author Masayuki Karasawa says. "The cell is an optimal setting for the biochemical reaction. The decoys actually remodel the enzyme's active site, giving us control over aspects of the reaction, such as stereoselectivity."
All that is needed is a ready supply of glucose - which can be recycled from waste products - to feed the E.coli.
Because a naturally occurring - rather than genetically modified - variant of the enzyme is expressed by the E.coli, it is likely that other bacteria could also be modified with the same gene to perform this job. Moreover, different decoys might be suitable for different substrates or bacteria. "A combined program of decoy-screening and mutagenesis could create a versatile toolkit for whole-cell reactions using bacteria," co-author Osami Shoji says.
The article, "Whole-Cell Biotransformation of Benzene to Phenol Catalysed by Intracellular Cytochrome P450BM3 Activated by External Additives," was published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition at DOI:10.1002/anie.201804924.

Mulliner Could Build A Limited-Edition Bentley Mulsanne Convertible
Could arrive in 2018 and cost in excess of $1 million
May 26, 2016 07:00 by Ciprian Florea
In 2012, Bentley showcased a teaser of a Mulsanne-based convertible at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, getting everyone excited about a successor to the stately and elegant Azure. Originally slated for low-volume production, the drop-top was cancelled a year later, when Wolfgang Durheimer was replaced by Wolfgang Schreiber as Bentley CEO. The model came back into focus at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, where Bentley introduced the Grand Convertible concept, but Bentley declined rumors to turn it into a production model.
Come 2016 and a Mulsanne-based drop-top is again a possibility. That's the word from Car and Driver, which claims that Durheimer's return at the helm of the British brand will finally spawn a Bentley-badged competitor for the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. According to the source, the CEO is currently studying the possibility of having the Mulliner division built a small batch of only 20 convertibles that will be sold "to absolute connoisseurs at a very high price."
The publication goes on to speculate that the Mulsanne cabriolet will hit the market by 2018 and cost somewhere around £1 million, which converts to nearly $1.5 million. There's no word as to what nameplate it will carry, but Azure seems to be the obvious choice if Bentley wants to make use of its rich heritage.

Bentley Considers Diesel Bentayga With E-Charging Boost
October 19, 2015 17:00 by Robert Moore
Early next year, Bentley is set to release the 2017 Bentayga here on the U.S. market. With a starting price of $229,100 and power coming from a V-12, gasoline engine, the Bentayga will be one of the baddest SUVs on the market.
However, Bentley's lead engineer, Peter Guest, has now confirmed that Bentley is actively testing diesel prototypes of the Bentayga. No major details about the diesel engine have been released, except that it will use an electric turbocharger. The technology goes by the short-hand name of e-charging and is also expected to be used on the diesel variant of Audi's new Q7 crossover next year.
E-charging is a new technology, but it was demonstrated by Audi last year on the 3.0-liter TDI that was available in the 2015 Audi A6. By e-boosting, Audi was able to increase the 3.0's horsepower rating to 385 and virtually eliminate lag and the lack of low-end torque that has plagued turbocharged engines in the past. The downside to e-boosting is that it requires a 48-volt system to operate, as it draws upward of 7 to 8 kilowatts of power. It's because of this that it isn't currently offered on more diesel models. The Bentayga already has a 48-volt system by design, however, as it was needed for the SUV's dynamic ride system.
Spy Shots: Bentley SUV Caught Testing in Southern Europe
August 6, 2014 14:00 by Mark
Bentley has been working on its upcoming SUV in increasingly public places, and this time, our spy photographers have captured the beast nearly void of heavy camouflage. Sure, the cladding this still there, but we certainly have a better idea of what to expect.
The Bentley SUV was caught in Southern Europe apparently hot-weather testing under fully loaded conditions. Check out how low the SUV sits sunken down. Perhaps Bentley engineers are testing its brakes and cooling capabilities on that twisty European road. Or maybe the SUV is tucking those large rims, thanks to an air suspension system designed to make the top-heavy truck perform like a Continental GT.
While Bentley has announced it's bringing an SUV to market, its name has yet made its debut. Most speculation centers on the name "Falcon," but other possibilities exist. We do know the Bentley SUV will share its platform with the Audi Q7, the new Volkswagen Touareg, and the next-generation Porsche Cayenne. Also for sure is Bentley's goal of a 200-plus mph SUV.
Getting such a vehicle up to 200 mph will require plenty of grunt, meaning either a twin-turbocharged V-8 or a massive W-12 engine. It's likely both will be offered, with the V-8 being the standard mill and the W-12 the costlier engine upgrade.

Spy Shots: Bentley SUV Mule Caught in a Clever Disguise
May 21, 2014 15:00 by Mark
"Wait, didn't that headline read 'Bentley'?" Yes, it sure did. At first glance, this is just an Audi Q7 mule out for testing somewhere in England. Look closer though, and a few things start to look suspicious. First up are those UK plates. Audi is German, but Bentley hails from the land of tea and crumpets. Those fenders are also looking quite wide compared to a standard Q7. Perhaps this is just a clever disguise by the Volkswagen Group to hide Bentley's first-ever SUV.
Diving into the details of the pictures reveals larger air intakes below the headlights. Also expanded are those fenders that cover a larger and wider wheel and tire package. Why have larger air intakes and wheels? At the mule-testing stage, it isn't a design feature but a mechanical one. A premium Bentley will require the biggest and best brakes to slow the roll from a massive engine not normally found in the Q7's engine bay.
This isn't the first time we've suggested VW Group might be putting the 6.0-liter, W-12 engine into the Bentley off-roader. Remember, that engine is twin-turbocharged, and large intercoolers will be needed to keep temperatures in check.
However, this is basically an educated guess as to what Audi/Bentley/VW Group is up to. Stay tuned to TopSpeed for any further developments.
Rumors: Bentley's Crewe, England Plant Shutdown Could Mean EXP 9F Pre-Production Preparation
July 26, 2012 02:00 by Justin Cupler
We automotive industry folk like to read between the lines to dig up stories and sometimes we're right, but a lot of the time we're off the mark. One between-the-lines story is surrounding the much debated Bentley EXP 9F and its relation to the extra week that the Crewe, England plant will be shut down this summer.
Automotive plant shutdowns are no huge ordeal, as they have become pretty much commonplace in the modern automotive world. These shutdowns are designed to help reduce costs during low-production times, which are normally toward the end of the summer. The Bentley plant in Crewe, England typically closes its doors in August for two weeks to allow workers to rest and to help keep costs down, but this year that time frame has been extended to three weeks.
That would normally be chalked up as additional cutbacks, but the reasons given for the extra time off included enabling a number of facility changes in preparation for future productivity increases. Well, Bentley is not one to put out a new model each and every year and their productivity level does not change each year, so the only reason productivity would increase would be the addition of a new model. Add in the fact that the only new model that we know of in development is the EXP 9F, and you can see why we think that this extra shutdown is to get ready for the production phase of this love-it-or-hate-it SUV.
As we said earlier, we could be completely incorrect, but that slip of the tongue by Bentley is pretty telling. This is especially telling when dealing with a company that only sells fewer than 10,000 cars per year.
We'll keep you updated with any new information or rumors that may pop up around the possible release of the EXP 9F as more news becomes available.
2015 Bentley Turbo R
April 1, 2011 09:00 by Matt McDonald
Bentley Motors has announced that they will build a two-seater sports car said to rival the Ferrari 458 Italia not only in terms of performance, but design as well. The legendary automaker has not built sports cars since its racing glory days, but the signs have been clear. Bentley has a storied racing past and is a thriving company today thanks to high selling models like the Continental GT. The company is poised to re-invest a significant portion of profits towards the development of this new car and has already enlisted the help of its parent company, Volkswagen, and their Cup racing team to develop certain components.
Recent years have seen Bentley push the envelope in terms of power and performance, especially with the introduction of models like the Continental GT Speed. Consider also that for no apparent reason, Bentley broke the World Ice Speed record in a convertible powered by bio-fuel. It now appears that these introductions were more than just publicity stunts, but may have been used as testing for technologies to be used in the new "Turbo R" model.
Rumors circulating around the Crewe, England factory seem to point towards the new model resurrecting the legendary Turbo R moniker. The most recent model to hold this name was built between 1985 and 1997. It used a turbocharged 6.75 liter V8 engine, that can propel the car from 0-60 mph within 6.7 seconds, with a top speed of 152 mph. This was something to be very proud of back in the day, but expect the latest model to be a whole different animal.
This could certainly be a new chapter for Bentley Motors and if they are able to successfully develop a car that can challenge the Ferrari 458 and others like the McLaren MP12-4C than they may begin racing once again. The last Le Mans series that Bentley was in was 2003 and with the development of new performance and racing technology, we hope that the brand will return to the track in the next several years. We'll be sure to pass along any more information revealed as soon as we get it.
UPDATE 04/01/2011: April Fool's!! This is 100% not true, but would be kind of cool!
Bentley thinking of building a new four-door coupe
October 14, 2010 17:00 by Kirby Garlitos
For those of you pining for a Bentley four-door coupe, all your prayers just might end up being answered. The luxury marquee from the UK is tinkering with the possibility of releasing a four-door coupe to complement its existing line-up and, at the same time, enter a new market ripe with possibilities.
The rumor first gained ground at the Paris Motor Show when Dr. Franz-Josef Paefgen, head of Bentley, told Auto Express of the company's plans of introducing a new model that would be slotted just below the brand's two luxury cars, the Continental and the Mulsanne.
The new car will be powered by a 4.0-liter turbo V8 that is being co-developed with Audi with a power output of somewhere around 450 horsepower. Likewise, the four-door coupe will also share the same platform with the Audi A7 Sportback, all while taking into consideration the company's efforts in making the car the lightest and most fuel-efficient vehicle out on the market.
Despite the report, we'll reserve our judgments until Bentley makes the car official. When that would be is still anyone's guess.
Bentley's GT To Get Audi S-Tronic Transmission?
October 13, 2010 13:00 by Bryan
Bentley's footballer vehicle, the Continental GT, might be getting a few upgrades from its new sister company. The company might equip the new V8 with Audi's dual-clutch S Tronic transmission. Testing is currently underway to see how well the transmission works in the V8 GT.
The biggest challenger facing engineers is the underbody of the vehicle. The six-speed ZF gearbox is a different shape than the S Tronic, meaning the underbody of the GT will need to be reworked. Still, the benefits of having such a transmission are numerous, such as a better driving experience that could help Bentley market the GT to a more sporting audience.
"The V8 will find a new audience for us. There are sports car enthusiasts out there, particularly in the US, who won't buy a sports car unless it's powered by a V8," says Bentley's new sales and marketing boss Alasdair Stewart to Autocar.
The price of the V8 is likely to be set below the W12 and it will go on sale in early 2012.
Bentley to focus on performance, rather than luxury
June 29, 2010 10:00 by Bryan
The world of super luxury sedans might be a thing of the past for Bentley. The company decided to focus on performance vehicles, as well as run on an 18-month production cycle.
Bentley researchers found that owners of two-door Continentals tend to keep their cars around 12 to 18 months. After that, their desire for a new, high priced car has them shopping around, hence the new production cycle. Furthermore, the report also says that when Bentley made a coupe and a convertible of the same model, some customers bought both.
This new cycle and customer habits are part of the reason for the new 2011 Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible, a variant on the Supersports, which is the fast version of the GT. The drop-top Supersports will cost around $280,000 and will come only a year after we got the base $267,000 Supersports.
All of these performance cars might be a sign of things to come for the company, as they look to get back to their fast car roots.
Bentley will look to separate themselves from Rolls-Royce, as the two have long been linked together. It's been nearly a decade since Rolls went off to join BMW and Bentley was swooped up Volkswagen.
Bentley global director of planning, Richard Leopold believes that the change to more speed-focused models will help the company move away from luxury vehicles and closer to Maserati and Lamborghini. He says that buyers of those Italian brands might be willing to consider moving to sportier Bentleys.
Whatever Bentley decides to do, they need to hurry up. The old Continental is seven years old and sales are down due to the economic crisis. We hope to have more news soon.
Bentley prepares Shooting Brake model?
May 27, 2010 13:00 by Simona
It seems that shooting brake models are a hit lately. The two-door wagons are coming out of the woodwork and everyone seems to want to jump on that wagon (literally and figuratively speaking). The latest company to hitch a ride? Why, Bentley, of course. It seems that they are thinking of a shooting brake concept to wow Bentley and wagon lovers alike and not the type that arrived with the Bentley Continental Flying Star by Touring Superleggera.
"We have an idea in the back of our minds that we may yet bring to market," Stuart McCullough, VW Board Member said.
He also said that the design that's been kicking around for a little while goes "a lot further" than the Touring-built concept and would be entirely Bentley from conception to assembly.
However, it is not clear on what model the new shooting brake version will be based on as the new Mulsanne platform will be used to develop a convertible and a coupe version and the Continental is nearing the end of its lifespan. Is this the hopeful dreams of a solitary Bentley member or a hint of what's to come for the all-powerful Bentley? We'll just have to wait and see.

High Springs, FL November 21, 2014 – In recent years, Thanksgiving has become more than a time for getting together, showing appreciation, and renewing family bonds. It has also become a time to talk turkey about the long-term care needs of aging parents, according to ACSIA Partners LLC, a leader in long-term care planning.
The new generation of savvy middle-aged children isn't afraid to speak up, Wing asserts. "The issue is worth it to them. They know that lack of LTC planning is a broader problem than others that are sure to come up at Thanksgiving." According to federal estimates, about 70% of Americans over 65 will need some type of LTC at some point, impacting virtually all families.
Families that broach the LTC issue this Thanksgiving are invited to visit Wing's website -- http://robinwingltc.com -- before, during or after their discussion. There they may explore a range of affordable long-term care planning options that include but are not limited to LTC insurance. These choices range from critical illness insurance and annuities to life insurance with LTC riders. Then, to learn more, families may meet with a specialist on the phone or face-to-face.
Robin Wing is a leading long-term care solutions agent in FL, serving consumers as well as organizations. "We're glad to help them find the best, most affordable solution for their situation," Wing says. "In addition to long-term care insurance, today's options range from critical illness insurance and annuities to life insurance with LTC riders."

Q: What does Dotty offer to replace type projections? I have been reading about Dotty, since it looks like it is about to become scala 3, and noticed that type projections are deemed "unsound" and removed from the language ...
This seems like a bummer, as I have seen several use cases where they were really useful. For example:
trait Contents
class Foo extends Contents
class Bar extends Contents

trait Container[T <: Contents] { type ContentType = T }
class FooContainer extends Container[Foo]
class BarContainer extends Container[Bar]

trait Manager[T <: Container[_]] {
  type ContainerType = T
  type ContentType = T#ContentType
  def getContents: ContentType
  def createContainer(contents: ContentType): ContainerType
}

How would one do something like this in Dotty? Add a second type parameter to Manager? But, aside from the fact that it makes it really tedious to create and manipulate instances of the Manager, it also doesn't quite work, as there is no way to enforce the relationship between the two types (Manager[FooContainer, Bar] should not be legal).
Then, there are other uses, like type lambdas, and partially applied types, that are useful for creating biased functors etc ... Or do these (partially applied types) become "first class citizens" in Dotty?
EDIT
To answer the question in the comments, here is a somewhat contrived example of his this may be used. Let's suppose, my Managers are actually Akka Actors:
abstract class BaseManager[T <: Container[_]](
  val storage: ContentStorage[T#ContentType]
) extends Actor with Manager[T] {
    def withContents(container: T, content: ContentType): ContainerType
    def withoutContents: T

    var container: T = withoutContents

    def receive: Receive {
       case ContentsChanged =>
          container = withContents(container, storage.get)
       case ContainerRequester =>
           sender ! container
       // ... other common actions
    }
}

class FooManager(storage: FooStorage) extends BaseManager[FooContainer](storage) {
   def withContents(container: FooContainer, content: Foo) =
       container.copy(Some(content))
   def withoutContent = FooContainer(None)

   override def receive: Receive = super.receive orElse {
    // some additional actions, specific to Foo
   }
}

case class FooContainer(content: Option[Foo]) extends Container[Foo]{
  // some extremely expensive calculations that happen when
  // content is assigned, so that we can cache the result in container
}

A: In Scala 2.12 type projections sometimes can be replaced with type class + path-dependent types
trait ContentType[T <: Container[_]] {
  type Out
}
object ContentType {
  type Aux[T <: Container[_], Out0] = ContentType[T] { type Out = Out0 }
  def instance[T <: Container[_], Out0]: Aux[T, Out0] = new ContentType[T] { type Out = Out0 }

  implicit def mk[T <: Contents]: Aux[Container[T], T] = instance
}

abstract class Manager[T <: Container[_]](implicit val contentType: ContentType[T]) {
  type ContainerType = T
  def getContents: contentType.Out
  def createContainer(contents: contentType.Out): ContainerType
}

Checked in Dotty 0.16.0-bin-20190529-3361d44-NIGHTLY (in 0.16.0-RC3 delegate should be instead of implied)
trait Contents
class Foo extends Contents
class Bar extends Contents

trait Container[T <: Contents] { type ContentType = T }
class FooContainer extends Container[Foo]
class BarContainer extends Container[Bar]

trait ContentType[T <: Container[_]] {
  type Out
}
object ContentType {
  implied [T <: Contents] for ContentType[Container[T]] {
    type Out = T
  }
}

trait Manager[T <: Container[_]] given (val contentType: ContentType[T]) {
  type ContainerType = T
  type ContentType = contentType.Out
  def getContents: ContentType
  def createContainer(contents: ContentType): ContainerType
}

One more option is to use match types
trait Contents
class Foo extends Contents
class Bar extends Contents

trait Container[T <: Contents] { type ContentType = T }
class FooContainer extends Container[Foo]
class BarContainer extends Container[Bar]

type ContentType[T <: Container[_]] = T match {
  case Container[t] => t
}

trait Manager[T <: Container[_]] {
  type ContainerType = T
  def getContents: ContentType[T]
  def createContainer(contents: ContentType[T]): ContainerType
}
