The Duckworth Aerover is a new overlander from England that combines the frame and front of an old-school Land Rover Defender with a body taking inspiration from a 1930s aero-style trailers, like the classic Airstreams. It's a handsome machine, and Duckworth is now looking for a customer who wants to commission a personalized interior for this first build. The Land Rover Defender is an iconic, British SUV, so it makes sense for the English company to use the model as a starting point. Duckworth notes that the vehicle's size is ideal, too, because the footprint is large enough to attach a compact living space, yet small enough to be maneuverable on the road.

2022 Land Rover Range Rover Teased Prior To October 26 Debut
Having been around since 2012, the Range Rover is easily the oldest model in the luxury fullsize SUV segment. The next-gen model will not only have to fight its traditional rivals, but also new names such as the BMW X7, Maybach GLS, Aston Martin DBX, and even the Jeep Grand Wagoneer to some extent. Land Rover is providing a first glimpse of the all-new luxobarge prior to an official debut scheduled to take place on October 26. The adjacent teaser images are giving the impression of an evolutionary design, much like the spy shots in the past, but don't let the familiar appearance trick you into believing the next Range Rover will be more of the same. It should be an all-new model by transitioning to Jaguar Land Rover's new MLA platform. Coming in both standard- and long-wheelbase configurations, the 2022 Range Rover will be offered with a variety of powertrains as aside from gasoline and diesel engines, it's also getting a plug-in hybrid option and rumors say a pure EV …
New Gen Range Rover Pictures Leaked Ahead Of World Debut
We just about told you that the Land Rover teased the new generation Range Rover and it will make its global debut on October 26, but now there are images of the car fully revealed that have created quite the row on social media. The leaked images give us a glimpse into what the car will look like and leaves nothing to anyone's imagination. As you can clearly see that the front-end shape, grille and headlight arrangement is very similar to the one used on the current generation Range Rover family.

Next-Gen Range Rover Plug-In Hybrid Spied Lapping The Nurburgring
A new Land Rover Range Rover will debut next Tuesday, October 26. The large luxury SUV is a bit old by industry standards, though the automaker will give the popular model a complete makeover for the 2022 model year. However, before the cover comes off, Land Rover is continuing testing the model, including the plug-in hybrid variant, which was recently spotted lapping the Nurburgring. The automaker is already teasing the new SUV, though you wouldn’t know it by looking at the test vehicle. It’s still completely covered in camouflage, though the front bumper coverings are a tad different, revealing a lower grille opening with horizontal bars. It looks indistinguishable from the non-hybrid variant, though the mandatory hybrid stickers and charging port give away its powertrain. The SUV will ride on the brand’s new MLA platform, eventually underpinning several Land Rover models. Gallery: Land Rover Range Rover Plug-In Hybrid Spy Photos 24 Photos …
Senator asks Facebook CEO to testify on Instagram and kids
3 WASHINGTON (AP) — The senator leading a probe of Facebook’s Instagram and its impact on young people is asking Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to testify before the panel that has heard far-reaching criticisms from a former employee of the company. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who heads the Senate Commerce subcommittee on consumer protection, called in a sharply worded letter Wednesday for the Facebook founder to testify on Instagram’s effects on children. “Parents across America are deeply disturbed by ongoing reports that Facebook knows that Instagram can cause destructive and lasting harms to many teens and children, especially to their mental health and wellbeing,” Blumenthal said in the letter addressed to Zuckerberg. “Those parents, and the twenty million teens that use your app, have a right to know the truth about the safety of Instagram.” In the wake of former Facebook product manager Frances Haugen’s testimony early this month, …
A crusade to end grading in high schools
8 Scott Looney, the head of the Hawken School near Cleveland and a leader in private education, had become disenchanted. The majority of American high schools, even the best money could buy, he believed, were delivering a misguided education. They treated students as passive receptacles and downplayed the importance of attributes such as collaboration and the many types of learning taking place outside classrooms. They reduced the high school experience of students with college aspirations to a formulaic pursuit of success in a narrow set of advanced courses that blocked many from exploring their passions. Looney wanted to create a new secondary-school model, not just at Hawken and other privileged private schools, but also for the public school system that educated the vast majority of the nation's students. "The industrial production model of putting kids on an assembly line when they're 4 and moving them through at the …
Rock star Randy Bachman’s favorite guitar was stolen. One of his fans tracked it down in Japan.
3 As a teenager, Randy Bachman saved every dollar he made. He spent countless hours mowing lawns, babysitting and washing cars so he could one day afford the guitar of his dreams. Bachman, a Canadian musician and founding member of the band Guess Who, vividly recalls spending his Saturdays in the early 1960s standing outside a music store in his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba. He would gaze longingly, sometimes for more than an hour, at the pumpkin-orange guitar that sat in the store window display. It was a 1957 Gretsch 6120 - the same rare model famously played by three of Bachman's greatest idols, Chet Atkins, Duane Eddy and Eddie Cochran. "It was years and years of dreaming about buying that guitar," said Bachman, now 78. Finally, by age 19, he had saved up enough. At the time, the guitar cost him $400. Today, it's worth about $15,000, Bachman estimated. From the moment he held it, "this guitar meant everything to me," he said. "It was …
How the controversy over Dave Chappelle’s special put Netflix on blast
As Netflix endures another week of the maelstrom created by Dave Chappelle's controversial comedy special that shows no signs of slowing down, the streamer finds itself on the edge of a metamorphic moment. Since its transformation from DVD mailer to entertainment industry heavyweight nearly a decade ago, the company has managed to weather the tide of controversy that comes with being a big fish in the rising ocean of online streaming. But this? This feels different. Since the special debuted Oct. 5, three employees were suspended, fiercely guarded corporate data was leaked, another employee was fired, countless others are planning to walk out in protest, and demands have been made. And that isn't all. Public criticism is mounting, and the company's own stars aren't holding their tongues (or Twitter fingers). But the question of whether the streamer will leap or fall back is still up in the air. With a marathon list of original programming that in 2019 was equivalent to …
