Land Rover LRX concept (2007)
More info on Land Rover Evoque
View all Land Rover Evoque Reviews
View all Land Rover Evoque Leasing Deals
Here is Land Rover's riposte to the anti-SUV brigade: the long-awaited baby Landy – a hybrid 4x4 so small it shares a footprint with a Ford Focus. The LRX will be shown at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2008 and presages a new, compact Land Rover due on sale in the next decade.
Think shrunken Freelander coupe and you've got the LRX in a nutshell. It's just 4351mm long (149mm shorter than a Freelander) and 1535mm high (-205mm). Land Rover calls it a 'cross-coupe' and in the metal this car looks surprisingly compact – every inch as small as a Focus or Golf.
Smaller dimensions won't bring smaller prices, however. The LRX will be pitched as a replacement for the three-door Freelander and priced accordingly. This is a car for people who deride the unnecessary heft of large SUVs, but want to retain the visual presence of 4x4s. It's Land Rover lite.
So when's Land Rover going to build the LRX?
That's the $64,000 question. Forget all the chat about 'gauging interest' and the usual concept-car nonsense. Land Rover is deadly serious about stretching its range down into smaller segments, as the market turns against big, lumbering off-roaders cluttering up city streets.
The LRX concept is equipped with the necessary green technology to get the right message across. There's a 2.0-litre hybrid diesel powertrain that has been Federalised for US sales (a detail that makes it sound like it's heading for production) and E-RAD, Land Rover's new system for electric rear axle drive.
This is the first car to be designed under new Land Rover design director Gerry McGovern. He references cars like the Mini, Audi TT and VW Beetle, saying 'they all appeared at motor shows as concepts, but the production cars were very faithful to those designs. That was unusual back then, but not anymore. There's no reason why any of what you see on the LRX can't happen – interior included.'
A solid hint that the LRX will be built in similar form, then. Our advice is to expect something as toned down as the transition from Range Stormer to Range Rover Sport.
Land Rover LRX design in detail
Think of the LRX as a shrunken Range Rover Sport. It's squat and compact, dominated by a rising beltline and thin, wedge-shaped glasshouse. A production version would undoubtedly have to be taller, to provide more headroom and an airier cabin, and those 20in wheels would shrink for showroom plausibility. But the concept retains key Land Rover design details, including the traditional clamshell bonnet, the vent in the front wing (a reference to the off-roading snorkels of the past) and short overhangs for better entry and exit angles up extreme slopes.
McGovern says the LRX is as home on Bond Street as it is in the Bernese Oberland mountains - and it's this go-anywhere aspiration that underpins the whole concept. How else can Land Rover hope to sell chunky 4x4s in an age when people are increasingly looking at CO2 over cool ratings? Land Rover is desperate to position its products as cars that are refined and responsible around town, but also capable of scaling a Highland trail at weekends.
Is the LRX genuinely greener? Well, it's certainly smaller, lighter (but Land Rover won't say how much) and a sleeker shape for better aerodynamics and a substantially lower frontal area. All of these will help reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, but we'll have to wait for its Detroit Motor Show debut to find out just how clean it is (even then it's only pie-in-the-sky concept car figures, don't forget). The only detail we've been told so far is that the LRX's polycarbonate side and roof windows are 40 percent lighter than glass ones.
But is the LRX a real Land Rover?
Despite the new focus on green issues, the LRX is still aimed at the green welly brigade. There's full-time four-wheel drive, Hill Descent Control and the now ubiquitous Terrain Response system – this time with Land Rover's first Eco mode for urban driving. The company insists the LRX will be as happy in the mud as a Freelander.
The tailgate is split, both parts powering down so you can hold an improntu picnic on the tailgate, Range Rover-style. On the concept, there's also a bottle chiller and cool box that clip to the lowered tailgate. All concept car jewellery.
What's the LRX like inside?
The cabin reflects the modernity of the exterior. Land Rover design polonecks talk about inspiration from racing cyclists' helmets and the like, but all you need to know is that the LRX's interior is pretty damn cool. There are lashings of soft, chocolatey leathers (dyed with eco-friendly vegetables, no less), contrasting with polished aluminium details. Will this survive into production? Will it hell.
The dash is dominated by a floating LCD console with 3D displays in place of conventional instruments; the data is prioritised by importance, so the driver is only presented with information they need. And the screen colours change according to the driving mode. If you're in economy mode, the dash colours are mood-lit in green; if you're in hard-charging sports mode, angry red is order of the day; the default illumination is cool blue.
A huge panoramic glass roof lightens the cabin while the usual concept-clever seat folding arrangement frees up loads of space for the mountain bikes and skis that marketing bods insist young adventurers must carry. They're the same demographic as the hipsters carrying the latest iPhone, presumably – there's a dock for Apple's latest must-have gadget, too.
2008: Land Rover's 60th anniversary
The LRX concept car kicks off a landmark year for the Solihull 4x4 specialists. The company was founded in 1948 and, as well as celebrating its sixtieth birthday this year, it will also be sold.
Ford is finalising the sale of its Land Rover and Jaguar British premium car makers – and we should hear who has won the bidding in the next few weeks. The latest information is that the sale will be announced in the new year, rather than before Christmas.
The leading bidders are Indian car makers Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra, and buy-out group One Equity Partners. The offers on the table are understood to range from $1.8 billion to $2.2 billion – but insiders hint that Tata is closest to win the race for two of the remaining members of the disintegrating Premier Automotive Group.
Let's hope the new owners don't tone down the LRX concept too much; Land Rover needs heavy investment for it to survive in the twenty-first century.

Our Mission & Service Committee and Christian Education are working towards Woodroffe United Church sponsoring a young girl's education at Chipembi Girls Secondary School in Chipembi, Zambia.
Chipembi Girls Secondary School, one of the oldest girls' secondary schools in Zambia, is run by the United Church of Zambia. The school was opened in 1926 and was the first girls' boarding school in Zambia that promoted child education for girls, including literacy and life-long skills. To date many prominent women holding high positions in society are the fruits of Chipembi Girls' Secondary School. Example Inonge Mbikusita-Lewanika, ambassador to the United States 2003-11 and then the E.U.
By raising $3000, we will be able to cover one girl's fees so that she can continue her education from Grade 8 to Grade 12. We have already raised over $1000 from hosting the Presbytery Dinner in February but we still have a way to go. Our next event will be the Pancake Supper on March 4. Please come out and support our cause.
Your donation today will go a long way in helping to make a big difference in one girl's future.


Home > News > New Ceiling Roll Launched!
Following feedback received from a number of customers and installers in the region, and in order to bring added convenience, Knauf Insulation has reviewed its range of products to address the most common ceiling joist centres used in South Africa.
The new Combi-Cut Ceiling Rolls will now incorporate an additional perforation cut at 800mm/400mm, whilst also retaining the existing combi-cut perforation along the centre, enabling the installer to separate the product conveniently into pre-measured 800mm and 400mm width rolls without the need for tools.
* 75mm will be available as a solid 1200mm width.
"Our Combi-Cut Ceiling Rolls are another example of Knauf Insulation delivering innovation to markets in Africa. The purpose of combi-cut rolls is to allow the installer to carry out a fast and more precise installation without the need to measure or use any tool.
"This innovation offers great convenience and avoids the effects of 'telescoping' which can often be experienced with on-site cutting. We have a similar offering on our partition rolls which are fully cut through. Once the roll's packaging is removed, there are two pre-cut 600mm widths of insulation ready to fit straight into the partition studs".
The product is available through Knauf Insulation's distribution partners in South Africa or if you require more immediate information contact Knauf Insulation via the website at http://knauf-insulation.co.za/.

Environment and waste
The threat of climate change is a huge concern to us all. There have always been natural variations in the climate, but scientists say temperatures are now rising at an alarming rate - and it's caused by people. The world is currently around 1C warmer than before people started using oil, gas and coal to power factories, for transport and to heat homes.
Current consultation: Have your say on the theme of our next climate change event
Our Climate Emergency Action Plan
What is the council doing about climate change?
What can you do as an individual?
What can you do as a business?
What can you do as a community?
As a council we are committed to working with you to tackle climate change. The opportunity to avoid dangerous levels of global warming is closing and action is required swiftly at all levels from the international to the individual. In making its declaration of a climate emergency in July 2019, the council announced its commitment to taking urgent action and asking others - residents, businesses, partner organisations, and the Government - to help and support us.
We developed a Climate Emergency Action Plan, in which we set a target of a 10% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions year-on-year until 2025. This target was set for both the council and for the whole of the district. The plan also outlines how the council will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions within the work that we do, and how we can work together within the district to reduce emissions in the area as a whole. We have consulted with residents, businesses, and other organisations on this plan, which was officially adopted this year.
Latest updates on emission reduction targets
To keep you updated on emissions from the council and across the district as a whole, we are including updates on the targets set out in our Climate Emergency Action Plan.

On this page, you can find out more about what we have been doing as a council to help combat climate change in our area, and how you can play your part.
Moving to electric vehicles
As a council, our refuse collection fleet is one of our biggest sources of emissions, which is why we will be introducing two electric vehicles. The typical diesel refuse vehicle achieves just three to four miles to the gallon and while an electric refuse truck costs almost twice that of a diesel version, we expect that the total costs over the lifetime of the vehicles to be similar to diesel due to their lower running costs.
We're also planning to introduce changes to our waste and recycling collection routes to help reduce mileage.
We've already started switching our other vehicles to electric. We have a couple in our parking services team and we plan to replace more of the team's vehicles in future. A staff Green Travel Plan has been developed. We have provided two electric vehicles and two ebikes for staff to use for work related journeys. Our car parks also have 18 electric vehicle charge points across the district to help residents and visitors who have electric cars.
Increasing our energy efficiency
As well as reducing emissions from our vehicles, we are working to reduce emissions from our buildings. We have installed low-energy LED lighting and we also have solar PV panels on our main offices as well as solar thermal power. This reduces the amount of energy that we take from the power grid, while our gas boilers don't have to be on as much heating water.
We are working further to decarbonise the buildings that we own, starting with Westgate Leisure Centre, which is another one of our biggest emission sources. Thanks to a £1.3 million Government decarbonisation grant, carbon emissions from Westgate Leisure Centre are set to reduce by almost a quarter. The work funded by the grant includes optimising the centre's combined heat and power plant; installing solar thermal and electric panels; installing an air source heat pump; and carrying out essential repairs.
Our own emissions are just a small part of the district's emissions as a whole, and so we will also be bringing people and organisations together to help them reduce emissions in their homes, their workplaces, and in other aspects of their lives.
Cutting carbon at home
The council has successfully applied for Government funding to improve the energy efficiency and cut the carbon emissions of homes in the district.So far, more than 100 homes with poor energy have been improved.Householders have to meet certain financial criteria. Further funding has been received and work is underway on more homes in the district.
We joined with the county council and other district and borough councils in the county to run a second year of Solar Together, a scheme that enables homeowners and small and medium-sized businesses to purchase high quality solar panels at a competitive price.
We obtained funding to run a 6-month project aimed at identifying privately rented properties that fail to meet minimum energy performance.. Additional staff were employed to contact landlords and remind them of their responsibilities.
461 properties were identified as Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) F & G rated at the start of the project in September 2021. Through the work of the project team, 37 properties remain non-compliant at the end of October 2022. For the remaining properties, officers are actively working with landlords to support them with making improvements and signposting them to grant funding opportunities. Any landlords not engaging will be dealt with more formally through service of a compliance notice. Failure to comply with a notice will result in a financial penalty.
Last year we launched a tree planting scheme to increase tree cover in rural and urban areas across the district. The initiative is part of a £2.5m pilot project with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and we are one of several councils taking part across the country.
A number of free trees were available which people could apply for, for the 2021/2022 planting season. Although this scheme has now closed, we are running another subsidised tree scheme for the 2022/2023 tree planting season.
As part of the wider scheme, we will also be planting mini urban forests in public spaces in our district, and funding tree planting on farms and private land.
Tree planting is important because plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere when they grow. Many plants die back over winter and as the plants rot, the carbon dioxide that they have taken in is released back into the atmosphere. However, some plants, such as trees, hedges and wetlands, do not die back completely, so a lot of the carbon dioxide they have taken in remains locked away. Trees, hedges and wetlands in our district take in surprising amounts of carbon dioxide, but we still need more of these long-term stores. Although trees are usually the focus, we shouldn't neglect other natural stores of carbon dioxide.
You can find out more about our Tree Chichester District scheme on our Tree Chichester District page.
Protecting our wildlife corridors
Chichester and Pagham Harbours are connected to the South Downs National Park through a series of wildlife corridors, where woods, hedgerows and streams allow different species to move across the district for food and to breed. Protecting these 'Strategic Wildlife Corridors' is important to ensure the sustainability of future wildlife populations in the district. This project will deliver a range of actions to enhance the corridors and safeguard
the district's wildlife. It will help the district's wildlife become more resilient to environmental change; engage local people with their district's wildlife; and build on the knowledge and expertise of our current Community Wildlife Officer. To find out more about the work we do to help protect our district's wildlife, please visit our biodiversity page.
We launched a new commercial food waste collection service to help businesses across the district reduce their impact on the environment.
We are also trialling kerbside collection of textiles and small electrical items and we have linked up with the Podback scheme to enable residents who use coffee pod machines to recycle their coffee pod containers.
We are committed to reducing our use of Single Use Plastics across the council and to promote a reduction in their use across the district.
You can find out more about these schemes on our waste and recycling pages.
Encouraging more walking and cycling
We have produced a 10-year Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) which identifies long-term cycling and walking improvements to encourage people to use these as modes of transport.
We are working closely with West Sussex County Council and other partners to work towards delivering these infrastructure improvements, which will include bidding for Government funding and contributions from developers and third parties. As the transport authority, the county council will assess the projects in the LCWIPs produced by the district and borough councils across the county to produce an order of priority for delivery.
You can read the plan by visiting our Local Plan evidence page and going to the document numbered 043.
We are updating our planning policies as part of the Local Plan review to reduce carbon emissions from new developments in the plan area. Full details are available on our Local Plan Review web page.
There are lots of ways in which you can make a difference and we have included a few here.
Use a personalised carbon calculator
A good place to start is to calculate your own carbon footprint. This will help you see what impact your home, appliances and travel are having, and help you decide which changes are right for you. compares to the national averages. There are a range of online personalised carbon calculators that offer tailored tips and advice, such as Carbon Footprint Calculator or Giki carbon calculator.
Take public transport or cycle or walk short journeys
By reducing your reliance on cars and taking public transport, walking or cycling, you can make a big difference to your local environment. Many organisations offer tax breaks on the purchase of a new bicycle. Check with your employer to see if you are entitled to a discount. Please visit Sustrans website to find out more. There is also lots more information on our cycling and walking pages.
Make your home more energy efficient
Generating renewable energy in your own home and making it as energy efficient as possible are two of the biggest things that you can do to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. Even small DIY measures, such as fitting a hot water cylinder with an insulation jacket can save you £20 a year in heating and 150kg of carbon dioxide.
You can also save energy in your home by turning off appliances when not in use, replacing light bulbs with low energy ones, turning your room thermostat down by 1°C, and by insulating and draught proofing your home. You can find more general advice on the West Sussex Energy website. and lots of top tips on the National Energy Foundation's website
switching to LED bulbs
making sure radiators aren't covered or blocked by furniture so that heat can get into the room
installing draught proofing measures like curtains, letterbox and keyhole covers, and chimney balloons to keep the warmth in and the cold out
insulating your loft, walls and flooring
insulating hot water tanks and pipes
not overusing the kettle and only boiling as much water as you need.
switching off lights and electrical goods when not in use, and
running the washing machine with full loads at 30 degrees on short cycles
There are many grants available to help householders and landlords make homes greener. You can get advice on whether you are eligible for a grant by calling Arun and Chichester Citizens Advice on 01243 974063 or emailing them on energy@arunchichestercab.org.uk. This service can also help if you are struggling with energy payments or obtaining grants if you need help with home improvements or repairs.
We recently ran a public event - 'Cut costs, cut carbon in your home' - for district homeowners looking to make their homes more energy efficient and find out about renewable energy. We captured short videos with a couple of speakers at the event which you can view at Chichester District Council on YouTube . You can also download the speakers' presentation slides:

Reduce your food waste and freeze leftovers
Cutting food waste not only helps to save money but it's also a big step in the battle against climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions are released at every stage of food production, from farm to fork, so cutting food waste means less of these emissions are released unnecessarily. You can find lots of tips on the West Sussex Waste Partnership website.
Recycle as much as you can
Recycling conserves the world's natural resources, which helps to protect wildlife. It reduces the need to grow, harvest, and extract raw materials and dispose of waste. Recycling means you use less energy on sourcing and processing new raw materials, so you produce fewer carbon emissions. It also keeps potentially methane-releasing waste out of landfill sites.
As a district, we are already recycling 45% of waste, but it's important we increase this further. You can recycle lots of items by placing them in your recycling bin at home and it's worth checking that you are recycling all you can — for a full list of what you can and cannot recycle, visit our A to Z guide.
Before placing in your burgundy bin, please make sure your recycling is:
Clean - free from food and drink leftovers (a quick rinse will do).
Dry - keep your recycling bin lid shut (soggy paper and cardboard can't be recycled and can clog up the machinery when sorted).
Loose - not tied up in plastic bags.
Find out if you are eligible for our free textiles and small electricals collection service, or check out our used coffee pod collection service, to see if you are in the trial area.
There are also lots of easy options for recycling green waste generated in our gardens and outside spaces. This includes home composting or using our garden recycling service. We offer a fortnightly collection service for residents which gives you the chance to recycle your garden waste in a convenient and cost effective way. Alternatively, you can take garden waste to your local recycling centre.
You can find out more on our waste and recycling pages.
Save water
One of the easiest things that people can do is to save water. On average, people in this area use more water than many other areas. Around a third of gas and electricity used in a typical home goes on heating water for washing, cooking and cleaning, so saving water cuts carbon emissions too. We can all take simple steps such as having a shorter shower and not leaving the tap on when we brush our teeth.
Most of Chichester District's water is supplied by Portsmouth Water and they have a wide range of advice and support available to help customers reduce their water use including free water-efficient devices and the chance to book a free online session with a water-saving expert. Simply visit the website and enter your postcode to find out more.
If you're thinking of going electric, you can get a discount on the price of brand new low-emission vehicles through a grant the Government gives to vehicle dealerships and manufacturers.
Having successfully bid for grant funding, we installed eighteen new charging points across the district to encourage more people to use electric vehicles and to support existing electric vehicle drivers.
Buy locally produced seasonal food and goods
Shopping for local seasonal foods reduces your carbon footprint.
Our Chichester Farmers Market makes local produce available on a monthly basis in central Chichester.
Please visit:
our Farmers' Market pages,
the South Downs National Park Authority food and drink portal ,
or the Sussex Food and Drink website
As part of our action plan, we're working to help businesses and organisations to develop projects that will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Our Economic Development team send out regular email newsletters, which include information on grants and financial incentives to help businesses improve their sustainability. District businesses can sign up to receive these updates from our business advice and support page.
You may also be interested to know that we also offer a business waste and recycling collection service which is local, reliable and great value for money. Our complete recycling service is more cost effective than the equivalent general waste bin, and we also have a commercial food waste collection service too. You can find out more on our business waste and recycling page.
The Government has recently launched the 'Together For Our Planet' small business campaign to raise awareness of the actions that small and medium-sized businesses can take to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
Sometimes it feels like the actions we, as individuals, take are small compared to the scale of the problem, but if we join with others we can make a big difference. Joining an existing environmental group, or starting one up, can be a great way to meet new people, get to know your neighbour and have fun along the way!

You'll need to have a batch of images of your medical spa so you can post them on the profile. Anyone with a smartphone can easily take some pictures that will give customers a peek at the spa. Also, include medical spa hours, forms of payment and any aesthetic treatments you offer.
Don't speed through it. About 60% of searchers online start at Google. You want to make sure they find you and that your Google Local listing looks fabulous! Just as much as you care of about the aesthetics of your spa, you should devote that much time and effort towards your listings online.
#2 Yelp – Yes, it must be done. Yelp continues to be a powerhouse in local listings and your medical spa needs to be on there. Customers use Yelp for just about everything and your medical spa needs to be fully represented. You don't need to pay the membership price but you need to make sure you own your listing. Take the time to make sure the information on Yelp is accurate. We'll talk about about getting reviews later. Look at the listings below on Yelp for "medical spa" in Pasadena, CA. Look at the images alongside the results of each spa! In this case Bellanza Med Spa has not added an image and thus is less appealing to customers.
#3 Yellow Pages – Yes, I'm serious. The Yellow Pages have free business listings that will help your site not only get listed on the Yellow Pages but will also help with search engine optimization and help getting your site ranked sooner. List everything you know about the business and you generally will get a free link back to your website.
These things are all free and can be done within a couple of hours. Take the time and do it right. Also, make sure to keep your log ins in a safe place in case you end up hiring someone for marketing. Remember that it's good to take ownership of your listings across the web rather. Good luck!

March 19, 2019 in Little Rock Metropolitan Area
All - I realized there really isn't a place where we can post comments or questions about general topics, so I created this thread. This is where topics such as the following can be discussed:
Comparisons (between Little Rock/Central Arkansas and other metros)
What ifs?
I have pinned this topic to the top of the discussion forum.
When I have some time in the near future, I have a few questions and/or topics to share for discussion. In the meantime, enjoy!

I agree. It makes more sense to combine Little Rock, North Little Rock and Sherwood from an economical standpoint. Certainly the area would be more attractive when you mention the population is 400,0

Charlotte. Was driving to Dallas. and I stopped by the Little Rock Central High National Historical Site the visitors center was closed. Thought the high school was very nice looking and restoratio
Glad you enjoyed the downtown too. I hope to visit Charlotte sometime soon, as I've only gotten to see the downtown from the airport.
I'll throw out a what if...
What if LR invested in a light rail type system that ran the length of 630 instead of adding a 4th lane like they are doing now. Say from Markham and Chenal to the Airport. I recall an animation of something very similar a few years ago. I know it will never happen but seems like it would be more beneficial than another lane of traffic. Way far in the future they could add branches to Saline county and NLR/Sherwood. A boy can dream right?

You've touched on a subject that I intended to post here...see separate comment below.
Related to Smith's question above, I've always been a proponent and advocate for River Rail Streetcar, but I will have to admit that its implementation (and perception) is certainly more gimmick and less practical, to say the least.
We were in Oklahoma City this weekend, and I discovered that they just implemented (in January) a new streetcar system funded by their MAPS3 tax (from 2008?...it did take a while). Now THIS is how you do a streetcar, one designed with intent to actually serve as a mode of transportation connecting points of interest and destination within the downtown core. Note that the actual "trains" are a 3-car setup (which, coincidentally, are the same cars used in Seattle's short streetcar system around the Amazon HQ).
Their system, like River Rail, runs one-way, and has two routes. The difference is of course that the cars are larger (and modern in style), the system has legitimate stops that are branded/named, and actually have a place to wait (with shelter) and a system to purchase tickets. One route just runs the "Bricktown" loop on Fridays and Saturdays (read River Market) whereas the other loop, that follows this route but extends up through downtown and to a few other peripheral districts (much like Argenta or East Village), runs 6 days a week. It was very well trafficked, but of course, it is brand new so there's quite a bit of curiosity at play here. Here is a link to their system: https://www.okc.gov/government/maps-3/projects/modern-streetcar-transit
Overall, the OKC Streetcar presents itself as a legitimate mode of transportation, and not some whimsical, throwback touristy kitsch. In fact, in contrast, this nearly angers me at the shortsightedness of the implementation of rail in Central Arkansas. It really makes me wonder - even hope - that our rail infrastructure (gauge) is actually the same, or compatible with these types of cars, as then it wouldn't be such a leap to upgrade our system to something very similar. In fact, if the system were simply extended down main, with an upgrade to similar cars (and upgraded stops), it would be on par with this. This is the type of system we could have if we step forward, and not back, with our current rail infrastructure.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on the type of cars LR should get. I would stay along the line on what we have now and add some single truck cars to be used during slower periods. These cars hold 46 passengers as opposed to the 104 that can ride in the modern cars. Also, five of the single truck cars can be purchased for the price of one of the new units.
Single truck streetcar being used in Memphis.
I do agree with the extension down Main but I think the main problem with the streetcar system ever becoming anything more than a tourist attraction is the problem with crossing the river. Whenever something is happening the system is shut down because the only way to cross the river is using the Main Street Bridge. At one time plans were in place to also cross the new Broadway Bridge but I don't believe this option was added when the new bridge was constructed. It is possible the Main Street option would be used by locals as a form of transportation much more than the system is used now.
Skirby - to clarify my point, my emphasis was much more on the style/type of train than the size. I agree the 3-car setup might be too much, but when it comes to perception of a system, when people see the throw-back trolleys, I believe they think, "Oh, that looks cute." whereas when they see the a modern system, they take it seriously, and realize that the system is intended to serve as a mode of transportation, and ask, "Wow, where can this take me?"
p.s. Someone on Reddit "Little Rock" made comment that they thought Memphis' streetcars were shut down, but I suspect this is false information.
[Update: reading online, the streetcar system in Memphis was suspended in 2014 after fires on two of the streetcars; service was restored on the Main Street line on April, 2018, but the other two routes remain suspended for whatever reason.]
Perception is the key. When I see the modern cars I think of a more advanced system instead of the closed loop limited area system in Little Rock. I would be sorta of disappointment if LR had modern cars like OK City has and I could only travel to Argenta and the River Market. If the lines ventured to west LR or the airport them I would go along with it.
My hope is the Metro Rail(River Rail) looks at ways to become more of a local passenger system. As a tourist attraction is does a good job but for locals not so much. I would suggest reviewing the location of stops and build shelters at all stops. Decrease the time between streetcars from 20/25 minutes to 15 minutes. Change starting time in the mornings to 7/7:30 AM as Argenta develops. Finally, this one is for Architect, use single truck streetcar frames and instead of using heritage bodies, design new bodies using 1950's futuristic design elements and paint them in late 50's early 60's Studebaker paint colors. Call them street pods and let the Instagramers of the world have at it. Instant promotion for LR and who wouldn't want to get on and see where it would take them. If this happened I know Architect you would become a Podder and would soon claim your favorite Pod Pad(stop) to start your adventure around the River Market or Argenta to fetch yourself a Flyway pretzel(so good) unless you are a donut man, then Hurts it is .
Ha ha! Awesome. I can get behind this!

I agree with you that would be a better idea than ever expanding concrete thru LR's core.
To go along with your what if I will add a second. What if LR, back in the 70's, when the old airport terminal was replaced it had been located on the West side along Bond between 9th and 15th. Boulevards could have replaced 9th and 15th as an easy way to access West LR and downtown. First impression have a lot to do with someone's view it things and I-440 is very lacking. How many places could claim their airport is only 5 to 10 minutes from downtown, LR could. Smith your rail along I-630 would fit right in because it starts/ends at 15th Street. Also, a streetcar extension from where it ends in East Village and this terminal would only be around a mile, give or take.
Anyone else notice the LACK of activity on the NWA forum in UrbanPlanet? It used to be VERY active, but the only thread that's even been commented on so far in 2019 is the XNA thread. Strange.

I couldn't agree more with this! Our streetcar system in place now in the River Market is a joke compared to this, and that's how most people perceive it. I am all for upgrading our River Rail to be on par with this type of street car system (although maybe not quite the same capacity for the moment). A system that is modern, clean, efficient, convenient, and practical for getting from point A to point B would be a huge benefit for Little Rock. The general trend now among young people has been one of moving back downtown and revitalizing it, and I love this new trend. As a person who is considered young and grew up and have lived in Little Rock my whole life, I find this type of system incredibly attractive. The idea of being able to live and work downtown and have this type of system to get me from home to work to a restaurant or park or event at Verizon (Simmons? Alltel? who knows anymore...) would be incredible. I think that it would also be crucial for the system to extend to the airport (through East Village) and down Main Street at the minimum. Alas, the big problem to overcome would be getting the money to fund the upgrades that would be needed, and based on the insane rejection of a millage in Little Rock to further fund the public school system to build the new SW LR high school, I have a hard time seeing voters approve any sort of MAPS3 proposal as in OKC (which is booming population wise, has a thriving downtown district, and pro basketball team so what could they possibly have to teach Little Rock? *sarcasm*).
So here's another random "what if" question:
NWA's growth the past 25 years has been spectacular, and I question how much this growth has come at the expense of central Arkansas.
Some might argue that this isn't a "zero sum" game, but to some extent, I think it is when you consider in-state migration. I think the "mindshare" of a lot of young people in Arkansas, either coming out of college or coming of age, now have two choices, wherein 30 years ago, they either moved to central Arkansas, or they moved out of state. This isn't a knock against NWA, and I'm glad Arkansas has two great metropolitan areas, but the fact is, we're a small state, and these two metros now compete for a finite group within the state as people continue - across the globe actually - to migrate to cities.
I'm going to make a complete guess...I think NWA's rise has probably cost metro Little Rock at least 100,000 in population over the past 25 years - maybe more. That's not to say that this is all due to NWA, as central Arkansas continues to battle perceived (and real) challenges, but no doubt the growth of another metro has "cost" some growth to central Arkansas.
p.s. There are other factors that maybe warrant another question: like "what if" Fed Ex hadn't moved, and "what if" Wal-Mart had either stayed in Newport or relocated to Little Rock back in the 1980's....other questions that probably warrant their own post, ha!
I think you have a point to a certain extent. With the U of A, Walmart and it's vendors, Tyson, JB Hunt and a few other big drivers NWA has grown and at the expense of central Arkansas. Young people want to be in hip, progressive places and parts of NWA offers that.
Even with that, Little Rock has continued to grow albeit at a slow pace. But the surrounding cities have exploded in population growth. Conway, Benton, Bryant, Sherwood, Maumelle and Cabot have all grown a lot in the past 20 years. Some of that is white flight from Little Rock but some is also people from other parts of the state moving into the metro.
Even with all of the growth in NWA there are still things that are not offered there that are in central Arkansas (and there are things in NWA that aren't in central Arkansas).
I think it reflects more of the urbanization of the state. Most states have more than one big metro area and Arkansas is now joining those states. The Jonesboro area will make three (even though it's significantly smaller than the other two). Most recent data says that Arkansas' population is growing but it's declining in the rural areas and growing in the metro areas.
This whole scenario makes for a
13 hours ago, theman said:
This whole scenario makes for an interesting parallel to Oklahoma, though the scale is twice as big (OKC 2x LR and Tulsa is 2x NWA), but back in the 1970's and 1980's, OKC was much larger than Tulsa, but it had almost nothing going for it other than the center of government of Oklahoma. Tulsa was more vibrant, growing, was prettier (green) and aggressive, and was the place to be. Sadly, it took the OKC bombings of the 1990's to sort of galvanize the city and its citizens into rising above the ashes. As I understand it, it also came with a very progressive mayor who sought to create a new identity and hipness for the city. Once the citizens got behind it and saw that they could create a great city (specifically through their MAPS bond issues, now re-upped 3 times), it's just blossomed. OKC is now growing faster that Tulsa (Tulsa's growth is about the same as Little Rock), has large, home-grown companies, is home to an NBA team, etc. OKC has definitely moved up the chain to the next rung.
This isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope Little Rock can find a way to "regain its swagger" as Mayor Scott put it. The momentum of the 2000's and the impact of Fortune 500 companies has been lost this decade, partly due to these companies woes (FIS relocating, Alltel being sold, and now Windstream having trouble). The city is just on the cusp of either becoming something great, or settling into a holding pattern. Let's hope it's the former.
Off-topic, but UrbanPlanet related:
I see almost ZERO activity now on the NWA forum. There used to be a ton of participation there, but it looks like only FIVE threads had any posts over the past year. Ouch....I'd say things are slower here now as well, but not quite that bad. I suppose other platforms and social media sites have created new outlets to share information like this (Reddit for example).
The census bureau released their median income estimates per county for 2018...ranked in order:
Benton ($68,978)
Saline ($63,677)
Lonoke ($56,651)
Faulkner ($53,882)
Grant ($52,050)
Washington ($50,893)
Pulaski ($49,957)
The national median income level for 2018 is $61,937. Central Arkansas has 5 of the top 7 in income (and if memory serves me correctly, Benton County only recently passed Saline to become first in the state - which isn't surprising).
I would never have put Lonoke County in the Top 5 median income counties in the state. And Grant County?! Wow.
I stumbled on a thread on City Data that was asking what cities are comparable to Little Rock/Central Arkansas in size and feel, and the conversation ensued that too many people compare Little Rock to the wrong metros based upon the central city population rather than the metro size. I thought I'd share this topic and my response below:
Little Rock is a bigger metro than most realize given the way municipalities are divided/distributed here. When North Little Rock (deviously) split from Little Rock in 1904, I think it forever changed the perception of the city. Combined, today's population of just LR and NLR would be about 270,000 - and it might have been bigger had it always been one city. If Sherwood were also accounted for, which is ENTIRELY contiguous with NLR, at 30,000, this essentially equates to a central city of 300,000, which would align more typically with the scale of what might be expected as an anchor to a metro of 750,000 (est. 2019).
But to everyone's point, it too often gets compared with smaller metros because of the central city's population, like Shreveport and Jackson, when it's arguably a better comparison to Omaha or Albuquerque...and maybe even Tulsa. Though these examples are all slightly larger, I think they're more comparable than Jackson or Shreveport. In fact, you'd have to REMOVE Little Rock from the LR-NLR-Conway MSA for it to be the same size as Jackson, and you'd have to cut the metro by MORE THAN HALF to compare it to Shreveport.
All of this makes me lament the various efforts over the years to combine LR and NLR, or even create a combined county-wide municipal entity like Nashville and Louisville have done. If that were the case, the city would be right at 400,000. There was some effort and momentum in this regard for a while after the "regional" Central Arkansas Water was formed - Warren Stephens for example was publicly promoting this concept about ten years ago. The world is getting smaller and smaller - this only makes sense in competing on even a regional stage.
Location: Hot Springs and Little Rock
I agree. It makes more sense to combine Little Rock, North Little Rock and Sherwood from an economical standpoint. Certainly the area would be more attractive when you mention the population is 400,000 rather than 200,000 to businesses looking to expand.
I think North Little Rock doesn't want to give up control of their school district and local government. If there is ever a chance of combining the areas these issues will have to be addressed. I think moving the city hall and city education administration to the North Little Rock side might help. Also allowing the usage of North Little Rock and Sherwood to keep their names like the boroughs of New York City.
I work at UAMS cancer program and we have patients nationwide. I once gave a patient instruction to McCain Mall and causally mentioned that North Little Rock was a separate city and he thought that was strange and waste of money from administrative viewpoint.
1 hour ago, Architect said:
I've always gotten that impression that people tend to compare Little Rock to Jackson and Shreveport rather than to the better comparisons that you mentioned. I would be all for a combined city-county municipality, however reuniting with NLR and annexing Sherwood (which is basically NLR anyway) would be a fantastic start and I for one would never complain if that happened. There are little drawbacks to this, as it would "instantly increase" Little Rock's population from 200,000 to almost 300,000. This would be much more attractive to businesses that see a larger central city and fewer competing smaller municipalities as well. I do fear, however, that there would certainly be a large push back to this, mostly from the north side of the river. They would be hesitant to give up that "identity" and local control on the north side of the river (one example of this I can think of is the "Pulaski County" branding of Simmons Bank Arena since technically it is in North Little Rock). Are there any active people with proposals talking about this? Would Mayor Scott be on board?

I interact with several people from around the country who visit Little Rock fairly frequently. They do not understand why Little Rock and NLR are separate cities (and I agree with them!) and they usually just refer to everything as Little Rock, and I do as well.

Review of Remembering the Stars of the NFL Glory Years
lindsaypieper / 13 January 2018
Stewart. Wayne. Remembering the Stars of the NFL Glory Years: An Inside Look at the Golden Age of Football. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, 2017. Pp. 222. Introduction. Notes. Bibliography. Index. $38.00 hardcover.
Reviewed by Gavin J. Woltjer
We have all partaken in some version of the following conversation:
Player X was the greatest player of all time!
What! No way! Are you off your rocker! Player Y was way better.
Rowman & Littlefield, 2017
Granted, many of these conversations have taken place over a pint, and most likely while a game is on the box, but nonetheless they have happened and will continue to happen as long as two opposing fans are willing to argue against one another. And as there is usually no resolution to this endless argument, Billy Joel said it best: "We didn't start the fire. It was always been burning…" Wayne Stewart's Remembering the Stars of the NFL Glory Years: An Inside Look at the Golden Age of Football provides more kindling to the unstoppable fiery argument: What era (or player or team) is or has been the best in the history of the NFL?
Stewart argues that the stars of yesteryear "shine with much more luminescence than today's [stars]" (p. xiv). Viewing through the lens of nostalgia and boyhood memories, Stewart admits that the "genesis for this book is [his] roots in western Pennsylvania" (p. xiii), a known hotbed for producing outstanding NFL players.
In an uneven compilation of information into six areas of interest (The Best Offensive Players; Hall of Fame Defenders…And More; Funniest Quotes and Tales; The Toughest Players; The Best of the Rest; and, The NFL Then and Now), Stewart organizes his thoughts through the use of statistics, former players' interviews (archived and personal), and anecdotal remembrances. Whereas the sections that address the "best" or "toughest" players on offense or defense of the 1950s and 1960s, familiar names abound: Jim Brown, Gale Sayers, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr, Fred Biletnikoff, Larry Csonka, Dick Butkus, and Deacon Jones to name a few. Unfortunately, beyond some anecdotal stories provided by former players about playing with or against these stars, and brief statistics and accolades received by these stars during their glory days, the information provided by Stewart is never fully realized or even fully explored against players of the same era. In the off chance that a player receives a fuller treatment of their impact upon the game, Stewart through former players' interviews gushes over these players and their accomplishments like an overeager fanboy (which in a sense he does admit to being in the brief introduction). When a player is not given the fuller treatment, which is often the case, the player is nothing more than a name on the page, two-dimensional, and easily forgettable if the reader does not have first-hand knowledge or memories of these past titans of the gridiron. The most interesting section of the book, and also the shortest at 13 pages, is the section detailing the funniest quotes and tales of this bygone era. Interestingly, it is this section of the book that Stewart appears to have done the most research. The final section of this work explores how the NFL game has changed from then to now. Again, in a section devoted to 41 of 206 pages, only one source is cited, leaving many of the conclusions provided to appear to be nothing more than an armchair quarterback throwing Hail Mary's to the readers in hopes that the arguments made are substantiated through sheer luck.
To be fair to Stewart, this book is not intended to be a scholarly examination of the NFL during the golden age of football. It is written in a familiar language accessible for the football layman or the NFL aficionado. And on more than one occurrence, the information shared had this reviewer going to the internet to learn more about a player, the era itself, or to find old footage of these forgotten games. Overall, this book provides a nice starting point for interested readers seeking more historical information of the great players mentioned in the early NFL.
In summary, there is a lot to enjoy with Stewart's work, but, in this reviewer's opinion, it comes up short in the end. While the abundance of statistics and anecdotal evidence provided from former players provides interesting insights and arguments and perspectives, the lack of analysis and contextualization of the game then and the game now detracts from the nostalgic enthusiasm of the author's original intent. Readers who like to engage in the argumentative side of history will have plenty of fodder to say that this era, the Golden Age of the NFL, provided some of the best players to don a jersey. Still, other readers will be able to make their own case of how the NFL game of the golden age is incomparable to the current game because of the level of athleticism, speed, and strength of today's players. Which reader is correct? This reviewer can't answer that question. He'll have to take a knee.

With a word combination "research paper" everyone starts thinking of a hard work with piles of books all day long or sleepless nights surfing the internet. And it is a sliver of the truth. Everyone must understand, that creating a good scientific work means a hard work. The complete research is not only a sum of different pieces of content dedicated to the main subject or a sum of all sources. It is a complete analysis of your own opinion based on articles, ideas and information.
When you ask a research paper writer is it challenging for him or her to write it, what answer do you hear? It is probably "yes". But enough practice shows that it could be much easier than you or someone think. Just get used to it. It is not so hard and needs only a few basics to make your work more productive and less challenging. So read our tips and make some notes.
If you are going to make the research work in a proper way and you don't want to spend a lot of time just flipping through pages of books or surfing the internet in vain all day and all night long, then the first you have do is to find a cozy and quiet place to do your work. Nothing should annoy or drain your focus. It could be your own room, a snug park or a cozy café. Then you just have to be focused on the research and results. You must keep in mind that sidetracking your attention on something else will waste time and will plough the sand.
Well-informed choice of the topic. Since you are interested in the topic it will challenge you to make a great scientific work. Avoid too specialized themes or topics with lack of information.
Information research. Use books, articles, magazines, newspapers, internet, you can even ask your teacher for some help. It is always easier to delete something than to add.
Problem understanding. It is not so hard to understand the topic as to realize the whole problem of the research. If you don't understand the problem you are searching for, you will not be able to make a good project.
Outline making. Write down a plan of things you want to mention, so you will remember everything you want to write about.
Write some extras. When you have a complete draft of the whole writing then just add extra information to complete your research.
Take a rest. As we already said, you have to be focused on your paper, but a small rest will help not to get used to the writing and after it you could see some new mistakes.
Revise making. Ask your friends or a teacher to reread your work and to note some defects or gaps.
Typing the whole work. You are done! Be proud of yourself. You did a great job!
As you can see, writing the research is an extensive analysis of a big amount of information. But it is not so hard as it sounds. You just have to follow some tips of writing and you will succeed in it.

The Warwickshire town of Nuneaton is located nine miles north of Coventry on the banks of the River Anker and is home to just over 72,000 inhabitants.
As a result of heavy bombing during the Second World War targeting the town's munitions factory, Nuneaton's town centre had to be substantially rebuilt in the post-war years.
Historically an industrial centre, the town has in recent times become an important commuter town for both nearby Coventry and Birmingham, although major industries such as distribution and electronics still provide large amounts of employment in Nuneaton. Other important businesses that are based in and around the town include the Motor Industry Research Association and health food chain Holland and Barrett.
Due to projects such as the giant Ropewalk Shopping Centre, opened in 2005, the town has successfully transformed itself into a thriving retail centre for the area.

One thing about reading food blogs – you make things you would never even DREAM of making. I tried a new bowl of oats this morning. Honestly – it wasn't my favorite – but I might try it a little different at least one more morning.


With more than $1 billion in annual retail sales, popcorn is not only one of the hottest growing snack foods in America; it's becoming a global phenomenon. Popcorn fits into the better-for-you snack trend as a low-calorie food with a myriad of flavoring possibilities.
Food processors from around the world rely on AC Horn Manufacturing to build, ship and service the equipment they need to take advantage of this snack market opportunity. Horn owns the best reputation for quality and reliability, serving medium to large-sized popcorn processors. This market concentration on industrial-sized snack processors gives Horn an unparalleled depth of experience to understand the special requirements and needs of this unique customer base.
When we sell a piece of equipment, it marks the beginning of a business relationship, not the end of a transaction. We believe in superior service and swift response to customer requests from planning, through construction and shipping and for years following installation.
Horn industrial poppers are built with longevity in mind. Robust and durable, each piece has an anticipated lifespan of at least 20 years. Every piece of Horn equipment is designed for optimal plant safety and sanitation, ease of operation and minimal maintenance.
In 1962 Manley manufactured its first Uniflow Design popcorn popper. Since that time, and through many improvements, AC Horn Manufacturing has been a leader in high capacity, continuous popcorn production systems. We believe there is no higher quality popping system manufactured or designed on the market today.
The Platinum Series offers the latest PLC controls and the highest quality components available. We manufacture a high-capacity, continuous popper that operates automatically from one convenient point of control. With a forced air combustion system, internal laminar baffling, precise burner controls and extra insulation, the Platinum Series Poppers provide all the features you need in your equipment. In addition, you can expect low operating costs and minimal maintenance requirements.
Regardless of the type of popcorn you are popping, we confidently guarantee superior capacities and popping ratios with our poppers.
At AC Horn Manufacturing, we build quality into our entire process. Our goal for the M205 Series Cooker/Coaters is to enable you to create perfect caramel corn with every batch, for years of trouble-free operations. We carefully engineered these precision-built machines to do just that, giving you decades of superior performance and durability. Caramel corn, peanut brittle and other caramel-coated products can be manufactured at high volume capacities ranging from 300 to 1,000 lbs/hr (depending upon recipe and coating ratio).
Program design features and operating simplicity elevated our machine to the preferred choice among worldwide leaders in the snack food industry. The Cooker/Coaters are extremely accurate and easy to operate, giving operators the ability to precisely control manufacturing variables for the best product.

Optional features offer operators the opportunity to produce kettle corn at capacities of 400 to 1,000 lbs/hr.
7 M319 Slurry Pump System Mixes the slurry ingredients before transferring to the M205 kettle through a pump system. Kettles can be self-contained, electric or hemispheric, steam-heated kettles.
Capacities for this system are based upon input temperature of 185 F. Actual final output depends upon recipe and customer process. A. C. Horn & Company will work diligently with you to meet your company's precise processing needs.
The M220 Robopop from AC Horn uses hot air in a vortex to pop corn – up to 220 lbs per hour!
The M220 is an electric dry popper that features patented Vortex hot air flow technology. The innovative M220 ensures that kernels are evenly spread over the parabolic bowl in the chamber. The Vortex air stream provides rapid, uniform heating -- as the corn is in a continuous rotation around the axis of the bowl -- resulting in a superior capacity and popping ratio. After corn is popped, the Vortex air flow inside the chamber immediately blows popped corn away from the hot air – maintaining great popcorn taste.
The AC Horn M360 offers high-volume, consistent production in a single, gas-heated cooker/coater. This all-in-one machine is designed to deliver perfect batches of your sweet popcorn products.
The M360 heats and coats up to 325 pounds of popcorn per hour (based on a 4 to 1 ratio of caramel). The easy-to-operate touch screen controls allow trouble-free recipe programming, precise temperature regulation and product monitoring. The unique design of the internal agitator helps ensure that all popcorn is evenly coated. An electric dump mechanism enables simpler and less physically-demanding operation.
For producers ready for more automation, the M360 is designed as part of a modular, scalable system. Additional kettles and other components can be added to automate the system as your production needs grow.
Our M360 Cooker/Coater line is an example of how AC Horn strives to serve every customer's needs, as the M360 line is custom-configured to fit your space and production requirements. Although the M360 is an affordable option as a stand-alone cooker/coater, we designed this line for companies producing sweet popcorn products with small batch machines, that want to make the jump to more automated systems.
The M360 line is a modular, scalable system. Components can be added to automate your process as production needs grow.
Whatever your specific production needs with popcorn snacks, we can configure an M360 line that is right for you.
Cooling & Separating: Coated Popcorn discharges onto the collection conveyor. It is spread and transferred into the cooler separator where the product is brought to ambient temperature.

Known x FatKidOnFire - Interview #113
Known x FatKidOnFire
Interview #113
My first proper day back on FatKidOnFire seems to have turned into a good one; with a new MakeItGood x FKOF feature, a few hints at future projects that are almost ready to launch and now this one from Chris – who's seemingly becoming an integral part of the FKOF machine. But more on that later!
Chris is back with another introduction to a new brand who contacted us just after their recent launch. Chris and I got pretty excited with these guys and hopefully you will too! Read on for a cheeky 10% discount as well…
'Hard graft' and 'ambition' are two things it seems a lot of people find scary, and often a lot of projects people launch are severely lacking in both; despite having the best of intentions. It's also rare that you come across a fresh, recently launched brand who seem like the real deal right off the bat.
Swindon-based Known, however, have all of the above by the bucket load, as well as a good variety of incredibly slick designs and products. The main driving force behind the brand is their tagline 'Always On it', which sums up their hard-work ethos and their undoubted passion for what they do. Another word you'll see a lot with Known is 'Outernationally', something we touch upon in the interview. Read on and get an insight into one of my most-respected new brands…
Who are Known? The people behind Known grew up through the birth of hip-hop, went to the first dancehalls in the UK, saw Stacy Peralta and Tony Alva grow up in the skate scene in the early 80's and spent hours each night jumping steps. People who had '3 Feet High a Rising' on a dodgy cassette tape and then got it mangled in their tape player. Who's Walkman batteries went flat on a daily basis. People who missed the last train home after sneaking out to see Guru, and then had to sleep in the bus station all night still buzzing from the gig.
This brand is born out of love for a scene they have been a part of for decades. Trading war stories and sharing influences and then bringing it all together to create something that feels true.
What's your background before the brand, and how did Known come into being? A skater, a designer and streetwear outfitter found themselves in the perfect place at the perfect time. The rest is Known.
What's the concept behind your 'Outernationally' tag? Your Instagram sticker campaign shows truly Worldwide ambitions! It's all about thinking big and encouraging positivity. The glass is most definitely half full, and we look outward and onward with open arms. We all have ambitions and goals – why not set them high? But we're not going to get disheartened if things don't happen the way we hope. If it's good, it's good, if it ain't, well let's try and make it so…
What inspires your designs? Do you try and convey anything in particular with them? Simplicity is what makes us tick, sharp and clean is where we're most comfortable. You'll notice that we're not the most colourful of brands, as that's simply not us – we try to sit relatively understated in our approach, but hope that the quality of what we do adds that element of difference.
As a new brand, what are your feelings on the reactions you've got so far? There can sometimes be a negative vibe within the scene, how do you respond? Everyone has their opinion, and all opinions are completely valid. And to be honest, most of the comments we have had so far whether positive or negative, have been fairly on point. We are a new brand, finding our feet but ensuring that we don't churn out anything that doesn't jam with our ethos of creating a quality product. It's easy at the start to spot any shortcomings of a brand. Oh, this is like that, and that feels a bit like this, and comparisons, no matter how original will always be made, but hopefully as the brand grows – so will it's identity within the marketplace.
Following on from that, what's your take on the UK streetwear scene at the moment? The UK scene is bigger than ever, UK hip-hop has never been so well represented, UK street art is adored worldwide. UK people want a brand born out of that, that captures their ideas and ideologies and gives them a billboard they can literally wear to show the world who they are and what's on their mind.
Known wants to play a part in representing that voice.
Any long term plans or goals you want to achieve with Known? The brands that last the longest are those that have an ethos, a way they present themselves, an ideology they always stay true to. This isn't about being a flash in the pan or about throwing something out there that we don't believe in. It's about giving people a brand they can feel attached to, and they feel represents them as people.
Current soundtrack to your life? 'It's Good to be Here' – Digable Planets. From the album 'Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space)'.
"We love it where we're from, but we kick it where it's at".
Any shoutouts? Shoutouts go to the blogs and industry insiders who have given their time and expertise to bounce ideas off and patient families and girlfriends for putting up with the endless chat about t-shirts!
As I touched upon at the top of this post, Known are a brand I genuinely have huge amounts of respect and excitement for. I respect how grounded they are, whilst still remaining incredibly ambitious and optimistic; I respect how much groundwork they must've put in before their launch to be able to come out with such a variety of quality products (something that tends to be quite rare), and I'm excited about seeing where they go next.
We'll hopefully be seeing even bigger and better things from them gracing the pages of FKOF in the future!
If you wanna check these guys out for yourself, visit their website, keep up to date with them via the usual Twitter (@weareknown) and Facebook. If you're a user of Instagram, take a look at their campaign by hitting up @weareknown on there.
If you fancy getting involved and buying something you can get 10% off if you use the code
;KNWN'
until the 1st of November.
It's a busy season for streetwear (and fashion in general) so keep locked to FKOF for a fresh new Streetwear Radar landing soon…
Hit Chris up on Twitter (or you can have a chat with me on @FatKidOnFire) or shout away in the comments if you enjoyed his latest post!
And if you're a brand looking for exposure, why not drop Chris an email?

National News & Views Four months after JR's suspension, problems with racism persist at KPFA
Four months after JR's suspension, problems with racism persist at KPFA
by The People's Minister of Information JR
On June 23, the Block Report Radio crew presented a proposal to the management of KPFA for a three-hour special highlighting the historical and political context of the upcoming California prison hunger strike to be broadcast on the airwaves of the only station on the dial that can be heard throughout two-thirds of the state.
As of press time, the proposal for the special, which we requested to air on Sunday, July 7, 3-6 p.m., the day before the strike is set to begin, has not been approved by new Interim General Manager Richard Pirodsky, who seems to be behaving very similarly to the old Interim General Manager Andrew Phillips, who was recently demoted because of his inability to resolve racial issues at the station.
On June 30, the same Interim General Manager Richard Pirodsky approved a 10.5 hour broadcast called "Queer Voices: Beyond the Queer Mainstream" to air on the day of the Pride Parade. Pride is important to some people, but all can agree that the people celebrating Pride are not in a life or death situation like the California prison hunger strikers, who are vowing to starve themselves to death to bring an end to the torture that they have been forced to endure in the California penal system for decades.
According to the KPFA Mission Statement, that KPFA should "contribute to a lasting understanding between individuals of all nations, races, creeds and colors." KPFA is not living up to its own creed when it ignores the fact that there are more Black people in prison now than were in slavery in 1850, yet KPFA is refusing to grant a substantial amount of time to the on-going human rights struggle of prisoners, who are mostly Black and Latino.
To date, I have been suspended from my Wednesday morning 8 a.m. drive time show for an unprecedented four months and counting, because KPFA's CWA union aka the White Citizens Council has a number of bogus grievances against me, and they claim, according to Andrew Phillips, that I create "a hostile work environment." When Local Station Board member Frank Sterling asked Phillips during a staff meeting what is the definition of a "hostile work environment," he started stuttering and fumbling over his words before he admitted that "he has to find the definition."
Currently KPFA and the five-station nationwide Pacifica network it founded 64 years ago is undertaking an investigation into the entire work environment at KPFA, including all aspects of the station and station management. The investigation is being run by Robert McCree. According to Summer Reece, the executive director of Pacifica, my suspension will be lifted only after this investigation is finished.
According to the KPFA Mission Statement, KPFA should "contribute to a lasting understanding between individuals of all nations, races, creeds and colors."
I have been suspended since March 6 and never told why. How long do workplace investigations take? Or is the indefinite nature of my suspension something that is reserved for Black programmers? No one in management at the station or the network has claimed that I have committed any Federal Communications Commission (FCC) violations, but there's a white programmer who did. Sasha Lilley, on her show Against the Grain, committed two FCC violations on Jan. 8 when she allowed the word "fuck" to be aired twice. Each time "fuck" was said it could have cost the station a $350,000 fine.
Since her FCC violations were committed, she was scheduled to do a book signing event and she is back on the air during her regular time. (Interestingly, Lilley, a member of KPFA's paid staff, was the station's program director when a weekly Saturday morning show produced by Youth Radio, led by youth of color, accidentally aired that same word. Though the show was popular, Lilley took it off the air permanently as punishment, even though, as with her own indiscretion, no FCC fine had been imposed. – ed.)
In about three weeks, KPFA will be begging for money again during its Summer Fund Drive running July 22 through Aug. 2. The Spring Drive reportedly fell short of its goal by over $50,000, which is understandable considering how the Black listening and broadcasting community have been jerked around over the last few months with my indefinite suspension, Black members of management getting their hours significantly cut, and white broadcasters organizing events for white broadcasters on Huey Newton's birthday during Black History Month.
KPFA is not living up to its own creed when it ignores the fact that there are more Black people in prison now than were in slavery in 1850, yet KPFA is refusing to grant a substantial amount of time to the on-going human rights struggle of prisoners, who are mostly Black and Latino.
And now the station is vacillating on whether or not to grant three hours of special coverage to the California prison hunger strike. Pacifica and KPFA are definitely ruining their brand of "progressive" radio with all of this racist activity. Carrie Core, who was program director of KPFA until last year, said in her departing speech in April of 2012, "KPFA is the most racist, sexist, classist place in which I have ever worked."
We must continue to fight for our voices to be heard because there is not another working radio antenna in the state that broadcasts with a signal as strong as KPFA's 59,000 watts and that can talk to two-thirds of the prison state of California. Block Report Radio and the SF Bay View support the California prison hunger strike and we are urging all of our listeners and readers to do the same.
Pacifica Executive Director Summer Reece can be reached at Summer@pacifica.org or (510) 849-2590. I want to thank all of you who signed the petition (see "Bring back JR to KPFA now") to restore me to the airwaves and contacted management at the station and the network on my behalf. But we can't stop. We must loosen the grip of racism that is killing KPFA.

Q: What type of architecture style does the MEAN stack most resemble? What type of software architecture style does the MEAN stack most resemble?
I am thinking Client/ Server because of the way messages are communicated between the different modules in both.
However, I'm not confident and would like some other people's opinion.
Thanks in advance

A: The MEAN stack is not, itself, an architecture.  It's just a handful of tools that work pretty well together for building web applications.  "Web Application" probably comes closest, but there's a lot of detail you can go down to determine the actual architecture.
That said, you will find a number of application frameworks which use the MEAN stack (e.g. MEAN.io, MeanJS) which in turn implement a software architecture of their choice.
One could argue that it defaults to at least a 3 tiered architecture, because it implies that you have a DB (Mongo), an application server (Express & Node), and a client app (Angular).  But that's pretty thin, frankly, because you can still arrange things very differently even if you assume those four basic building blocks.

The Matundwe Range is a range of mountains in southernmost Malawi and adjacent Tete Province of Mozambique. The range is located between the Zambezi and Shire rivers just north of their confluence, and the Malawi-Mozambique border runs along the divide between the two rivers' watersheds.

The Shire River Valley is a southern extension of the East African Rift. The southern end of the Matundwe Range rises as a steep escarpment along the west side of the Shire Valley lowlands, and descends more gently westwards towards the Zambezi. At the northern end of the range, the western face of the range has a steep escarpment.

Malawi's Matandwe Forest Reserve covers part of northern range. The reserve was established in 1931, and covers and area of 31,053 ha. The main plant community in the reserve is open-canopy miombo woodland dominated by Brachystegia species, particularly B. boehmii, along with Uapaca kirkiana. Mwabvi Wildlife Reserve lies west of the range at its northern end, in the valley of the Mwabvi River, a northward-flowing tributary of the Shire.
