My recommendation is ignore the entire thing, because it's actively detrimental to good play. It's not even practical to savescum the children, because the game actually rolls all the children for all the Companions at the very beginning of the game, where if your run gets Ambrella from Feanora and you don't like that result loading an earlier save and trying again will always result in Feanora giving birth to Ambrella. If you get Gandalf, good for you, your Mage is going to be a monster in the late-game, but otherwise you can almost certainly do better with an actual piece of equipment.

![]() ![]() An early version of "The Chauffeur" was also taped with German sound engineer Renate Blauel. Dissatisfied with this version, the band rerecorded the song during the official sessions. This version of "My Own Way" was dance-inspired and featured bursts of electric guitar, a different bass line and pattering percussion. According to bassist John Taylor, the demo of "Last Chance on the Stairway" was identical to the final album version, while "My Own Way" and "New Religion" both had different arrangements. On 28 August 1981, Duran Duran recorded demos of several songs that would appear on their next album, including "Last Chance on the Stairway", " My Own Way", "New Religion" and "Like an Angel", at the basement studio of EMI's Manchester Square building. ![]() We'd already moved on, and we'd got some songs that we thought were as good, if not better, than some of the songs on the first album already. When we went into the rest of the writing to prepare the Rio album, we hadn't really had time to think about the success that we'd achieved with the first album. Feeling pressure in England, the band briefly withdrew to a secluded chateau in France to continue writing. Like their debut album, the band spent time writing at the Rum Runner in Birmingham-their resident nightclub-as according to Rhodes, "We didn't have very big budgets, we were on time constraints, and we felt that that was the best way to develop our songwriting." Nevertheless, the band's label, EMI, doubled their budget for the second album. Around July, their management instructed them to start writing songs for their second studio album. With the album, Duran Duran had established themselves as one of the biggest new pop groups of 1981. Aided by the LP's highly successful third single " Girls on Film", the album peaked at number three in the UK and remained in the charts for over two years. It has since made appearances on best-of lists and has been reissued several times.ĭuran Duran released their self-titled debut album in June 1981. With the album, Duran Duran were forerunners in the Second British Invasion of the 1980s, helping ensure the success of other English artists throughout the decade. Nevertheless, retrospective reviewers consider Rio Duran Duran's best work and praise its timelessness, instrumentation and band performances. The band toured the US and Europe throughout the latter half of 1982.ĭespite its commercial success, Rio initially received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, who commended the melodies but were mostly distasteful towards the lyrics. Initially unsuccessful in the United States, the album was remixed, as commisioned by Capitol Records, to better match American radio at the time the remixed album spent 129 weeks on the Billboard chart and peaked at number six. Accompanied by three worldwide hit singles, Rio peaked at number two in the United Kingdom and remained in the chart for 110 weeks. ![]() The cover artwork, painted by Patrick Nagel and designed by Malcolm Garrett to resemble 1950s cigar packaging, is considered one of the greatest of all time.ĭuran Duran shot music videos for many of the tracks, all of which helped spearhead the 1980s MTV revolution.

Andy Hamilton played a saxophone solo on " Rio".Ī new wave album with musical elements ranging from dance to synth-pop, Rio is mostly composed of fast, upbeat numbers, along with a couple slower synthesiser-based ballads. The band utilised more experimentation compared to the debut, from vibraphone and marimba to the sound of a cigarette being lit and cracking ice cubes. Colin Thurston returned from their 1981 self-titled debut album as producer. The band wrote and demoed most of the material before recording the album at AIR Studios in London from January to March 1982. Rio is the second studio album by English new wave band Duran Duran, released on through EMI. ![]() ![]() "The trend is towards safe cars that can easily navigate overcrowded roads and have a personal, emotional and exciting design." "The creative ideas from the 'People's Car Project' give us a valuable insight into the wishes of Chinese drivers," Simon Loasby, Head of Design at Volkswagen Group China, said. The Hover Car video describes a network of electromagnetic road systems that the 'car' would float above, eliminating surface wear and the need for broad tracts of concrete and asphalt across the country. With a little help from its computer animation genies, Volkswagen has released a new video that demonstrates what we might expect to see in the (probably quite distant) future. The views expressed are those of the author(s) and are not necessarily those of Scientific American.Volkswagen's Chinese arm has been working a new People's Car Project since last year, and so far, the program has resulted in three quirky concepts.īorn out of a public survey on what Chinese buyers can imagine for the car of the future, the project's leading concept is the Hover Car, that stalwart of futuristic commuting dreams. Still, after seeing the video VW put together, who wouldn't want to take Jia's hover car for a spin? These could accommodate more passengers while providing greater coverage than maglev trains confined to specific guideways. Perhaps the solution, then, isn't cars propelled along by electromagnetic energy but rather city buses that can make use of this technology. "I'm OK with that, but you're still going to need a rechargeable battery or some form of energy to power this vehicle, and the initial investment in a maglev infrastructure for the car would be substantial." The only vehicles that would benefit from such an infrastructure investment would be the hover cars themselves-wheeled vehicles running on combustion engines or batteries would still need well-maintained roads.Īs imaginative as the VW hover car is, Holguín-Veras says, mass transit is still the best option for urban populations in the future as city populations swell and traffic congestion grows. "You could argue that, because there's less friction, the hover car would be more efficient than fuel-powered vehicles with tires, brakes and other mechanism," says José Holguín-Veras, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic University. Of course, for VW's hover car to work in practice, it would have to cost less to run than an ordinary car, and experts question whether that is possible in the foreseeable future. To add a bit of realism in one scene, a discarded can in the roadway rolls away from the car as it passes by. The narrator points out a number of the imaginary car's features, including a joystick controller, auto-pilot, and a collision-avoidance sensor. In the video, Jia's parents take the wheel-shaped hover car out for a spin through Chengdu. As portrayed in the video ( see below), the vehicle would be about two meters in diameter and about 1.5 meters wide. "We built a one-quarter scale model of the car and used a bit of creative filmmaking to show how it would work," Loasby says. In their video, Volkswagen designers envision a scenario where magnetic iron rock or ore beneath Chengdu help create the car's levitation alternatively, the minerals could be mined and mixed in with the tarmac. What keeps maglev vehicles from gaining widespread use is the need to set up an infrastructure of electromagnetic rails and roads. Magnets on board and in the track lift the train between eight and 12 millimeters, depending on how much electrical current is used. (Other maglev trains use electromagnetic forces for propulsion without actually lifting the train off the ground.) The Shanghai Maglev Train has been ferrying passengers since 2004 on a 30-kilometer line between Pudong International Airport and the city's outskirts at speeds of up to 430 kilometers per hour. The imaginary car stays aloft with the aid of magnetic levitation, much the way some maglev trains travel along special rails using electromagnetic suspension. "It was the ultimate in dreaming because a full-scale version of the car doesn't exist." "We put a concept together, including a video depicting how it would function," he adds. ![]() Jia sent sketches of a levitating car that could be maneuvered easily in a downtown setting, says Simon Loasby, head of design at Volkswagen Group China. Wang Jia, a student and resident of Chengdu in the country's Sichuan province, chose the latter, envisioning a two-person environmentally-friendly hover car. ![]() Participants were able to tinker with designs on a Web site that Volkswagen set up for that purpose, or they could upload their own designs. A year ago, Volkswagen in China launched a marketing campaign called The People's Car Project (PCP), which invited Chinese customers to submit ideas for cars of the future. ![]() ![]() ![]() Let's say you wrote a post about Bitcoin. Google Trends can further help with on-page SEO by showing LSI keywords. This revolutionary AI uses mathematical systems to find the relationship between a word and its concept inside a piece of content. LSI is an acronym for "latent semantic index(ing)" - a computer program that has been designed to learn a wide array of synonyms based on context. Tap into LSI keywordsįinally, let's bring an often-overlooked SEO aspect to our attention: tapping into LSI keywords. Just be careful not to focus too much on keywords that are short-term blips. So, while you won't be getting specific keywords, you'll get an insight into trending searches: real-time data for searches that spiked in the last 24 hours. Results found in these help pinpoint popular topics and queries from different segments of a potential market. "Interest by Subregion" can help filter and hone in on the geographic areas with the highest demand for products, strengthening and sharpening a SEO strategy. While you may live in the same country as millions of others, keywords can trend uniquely in different cities, states and subregions.įor instance, if you manufacture sports footwear and are considering rolling out a line of ice skates, Google Trends will show how search volume for this keyword varies from city to city and state to state. It would pay off even further to check out "Interest by Subregion" on Google Trends. As a business, you can use statistics on search activities to monitor, analyze and even predict whether a product, service or new idea will be acceptable to a local audience. As mentioned, conducting a "search" is often an act that accompanies the purchase of a product. This feature is fantastic for brick-and-mortar businesses that serve a local community. Once you've honed the specific keywords you want to rank for, you can create a list of blogs, videos or social media posts related to these topics. These broad topics are very useful for SEO because they can help you create content that anticipates new trends. "Rising" on the other hand, will get you results for those that are trending. If you toggle "Rising" and "Top", you'll find the latter will list topics that are consistently getting large amounts of monthly searches, even if they aren't necessarily growing. This doesn't present specific search terms, but offers a peek into broader topics that consumers are searching for. If you look to the left of the "Related Queries" table, you'll notice another table called "Related Topics". Google Trends can help you discover related keywords to a search, as previously discussed, but it can also provide insight into related topics to consider for future content. Related: How to Identify the Best Long-Tail Keywords 4. But for a few months' worth of traffic and a coveted place atop Google Search results, it can be a smart move if made at the right time.

Pay close attention to that, because it means that the keyword has increased more than 5,000%. Sometimes, you'll see that Google Trends replaces the percentage (%) search volume with the term "Breakout". Both actions do a great deal of heavy market research lifting. You'll find that Google Trends brings up keywords it considers closely related to the one you searched for, as well as list them in order of percentage popularity. Say you have your core term in mind search for it, then scroll down to the "Related Queries" table. Look for related keywordsĪnother powerful feature of Google Trends is its unique ability to recommend related keywords that are also growing in popularity. You might want in on those particular keywords, but it's always helpful to tell them apart from the real trendsetters. This also allows you to identify seasonal keywords - those that spike in quarterly patterns. ![]() ![]() ![]() Talk to them about their likes and dislikes - anything but standing behind the camera without so much as a word.
