How Alternative Payments can Supercharge your e-Commerce Business

posted in E-commerce, EU E-commerce, Europe E-commerce, International, Payment Methods, Western Europe by

The Internet has become an immensely powerful marketplace that keeps transforming the financial services industry. With the global e-commerce space projected to grow at 15% CAGR through 2018, payment systems need to adapt to the changing business landscape.

Namely, as businesses and consumers move to online channels, financial services need to support their expectations in terms of availability, security and reliability. This refers to providing more options for online transactions that allow consumers to shop anywhere and anytime they like. Similarly, online retailers and other businesses that operate globally need to implement the most effective payment solutions that meet the demands of international consumers.

Although the traditional payment options such as credit cards are predicted to plummet significantly, their innate design is not entirely adequate for the online monetary exchange. Correspondingly, e-commerce businesses have started looking for alternative payment solutions that can streamline transactions regardless of buyers’ location or preferred currency.

1. Alternative payment options don’t turn their back to credit card users.

With the rise of cross-border e-commerce, online businesses are given the opportunity to expand internationally and increase their market size. However, once they hit the global dimension, they often face the problem of supporting e-payment models that drastically vary among countries.

Just consider the case of the abovementioned credit cards. Although there is still a popular belief that they are the fundamental and inevitable payment option, in most European countries, this has never been the case. For example, while the average American charges over $4.236 to their credit card per year, 64% of the Europeans having credit cards are not comfortable with using them for online purchases. Instead, they are using local alternatives to PayPal, which greatly changes the game for many international merchants.

Therefore, one of the major perks of alternative payment models is that they help e-commerce businesses meet the needs of millions of customers that don’t use credit cards. Moreover, these methods allow you to properly tailor your payment options in accordance with the target market, as well as track shopping patterns and payment details.

2. Locally preferred payment systems make your business more customer-friendly.

E-commerce competition is on a steady rise in all industries and one of the major issues retailers face is shopping cart abandonment. This is suggested in a recent web research, which reveals that over 67.45% visitors in online stores leave without making a single purchase.

Namely, the most common mistakes commercial websites make is not investing enough time and resources in customization and user-friendliness. According to Statista, an astounding figure of 13% of customers leaves for no other reason than prices being presented in foreign currency. Additionally, 17% of them have concerns about the data privacy, often because a website lacks transparent security indicators. Put simply, when combined this makes almost one third of all website visitors which is not a force to be trifled with.

With all of this in mind, it is more than obvious that this burning issue needs to be addressed as soon as possible. In order to find the right solution, numerous alternative payment services started working on significantly improving customer satisfaction in these areas. This usually encompasses managing to provide your customers with global options specifically packed for a particular local market.

  • Website personalization. One of the major benefits of local payment models is that it provides all customers with personalized experience. Namely, by offering transactions in their customers’ currency and by providing customer support in their native language, e-commerce businesses will manage to increase conversion rate. This will not only attract more customers to your website, but also help keep them there.
  • Trusted payment method. Web applications handling payments are often perceived as having numerous compliance and privacy issues, which is why security has become one of the basic concerns that restrict customers and organizations to purchase online. In order to solve this problem, the majority of localized payment systems provide customers with the opportunity to make purchases directly from their own, local bank accounts. This is probably the most significant step towards achieving the utmost fraud prevention and online privacy protection during every transaction or sale. In relation to this, an earlier research has shown that logos of trusted payment options on the shopping page can additionally enhance consumers’ trust.

Given the sensitivity of the payment process, online retailers need to design pages that inspire trust and make consumers comfortable interacting with it. As one of the factors that contributes to consumers’ perceptions of the business, familiar payment solutions can considerably improve overall business outcomes.

3. Familiar options contribute to the increase in conversion rates.

Another important difference between credit cards and their alternatives is that the latter ones provide your website with numerous payment models. Furthermore, e-commerce businesses that provide more than four payment options are more likely to have a higher conversion rate. Coupled with the fact that offering a local currency can minimize shopping cart abandonment, implementing alternative payment options bring results that you get may be indeed astounding.

Just a decade ago, speaking about the abandonment of credit cards as the main paying method would seem as a piece of bad fiction. Today, however, it has become reality. From all the aforementioned data, it is more than obvious that the entire notion of commerce is getting tightly related to the digital landscape. The only choice e-commerce businesses need to make in order to stay competitive is how to implement the advanced credit card alternatives with their target demographic.

The accelerated development of eCommerce and a growing value of digital business strategies have triggered some radical transformations in the field of online payments. Both consumers and retailers have a greater variety of options at their hands when it comes to shopping or selling online. However, choosing the most adequate payment solution to implement on a website remains a critical decision for online retailers. By taking into account alternative payments solutions, they stand more chances of improving their market size, conversions and, eventually, profit.

Carl Nielsen Memorial Challenge

Southern California Subbuteo Club

On Saturday October 3, 2009, the Southern California Subbuteo Club played host to players from two other Subbuteo clubs for the Carl Nielsen Memorial ChallengeAnders Bruhl Hansen, Jesper Staal Nielsen, and Kristian Staal Nielsen represented the Lega Liga Subbuteo Club of Odense, Denmark, and ex-SCSC regular Ric Rivas and his wife Seow Yin made the journey from Tucson, Arizona to take part.  The Rivases were previously members of the Lions Subbuteo Club, Singapore.

The event was deemed a "challenge" rather then a tournament so that everyone could play the members of the other clubs, rather than the people in their own club.

The Danes were so much better than everyone else winning seven of their eight games, including four "mercy rule" victories. The eighth game was a tie between Hansen and the SCSC Wayne Smith. The "mercy rule" stops the game when one of the players reaches a four goal lead over their opponent.

Ric found it hard to keep up with his former club mates after a long lay off from playing. He lost by three goals to Dominic Hutchinson, and by a single goal to Simon Hutchinson. Seow Yin only played one game, in which she was "mercy ruled" by the older Hutchinson.

And why did we name this event after Carl Nielsen?  Nielsen was born in a small village to the south of Odense, and died on October 3 1931 making the day of the Challenge the 78th anniversary of his demise.

All the results and a full report can be found on the Carl Nielsen Memorial Challenge page on the SCSC’s website.

Guided House & Farm Tour

Get enlightened and educated about Amish culture and history

Amish AcresEscape to Amish Acres and share the heritage of these intriguing people in quiet celebration. Time stopped over a century ago and preserves in the Amish, a way of life nearly forgotten in today's fast paced world. The legacy of the three generations of the family who lived here is seen and felt through a nostalgic visit to the farm and homestead.

Relax as you view the documentary films Genesis and Exodus of the Amish, walk the oaken floorboards of the 125 year old Amish homestead, and take a leisurely buggy ride around the 80 acre farm. You'll learn the whys and ways of the Amish as your guide directs you through the 12 room white frame house, the Grossdaadi Haus, the Sweitzer bank barn and inviting outbuildings. You'll experience the sights and sounds of a working farm, alive with barnyard hens, livestock, gardens and apple orchard.

Amish AcresOn the farm, crafts and chores still follow the flow of the seasons. Maple syrup, apple butter, sorghum molasses and dried foods are produced here just as they were hundreds of years ago. You'll see how hand stitched Amish quilts are created, and watch demonstrations of other traditional crafts; including lye soap and broom making, and candle dipping. Many of the demonstrations of chores are seasonal and subject to weather. See the Artist's Rendering of Amish Acres and descriptions of all of the historic buildings.

Amish AcresYour guide will call you with the dinner bell to the farm's gate following the documentary films Genesis and Exodus of the Amish, which follow the unlikely development of this unique sect from the beginning of the Reformation to religious freedom in America and successful integration into the modern world without being part of it.

As you walk together through the orchard and past the kitchen garden, you'll come upon the outbuildings that dry food, bake bread, and smoke meat. Here lye soap is made from the rendered lard and leached lye. Then step into the original 1873 dwelling, now a summer kitchen and wash room, before entering the main house. Your guide will explain the history of Amish society and the four generations of Amish families who have lived on the farm. Traditional customs relating to dress, transportation, and the use of modern equipment are explained.

Enjoy exploring the Schweitser bank barn and out buildings. A horse or tractor drawn wagon circles the farm’s pond stopping at the German one room schoolhouse and passing by the blacksmith shop, maple sugar camp, ice house, mint distillery, broom shop, weaving house and railroad crossing guard building. Vintage horse drawn farm implements are displayed in the barn yard, and the pasture is home to the farm’s horses. A visit to the gross daadi house where Joy quilts is a highlight.

Ecuadorian government invested more than $5,840 bn in works for Guayaquil

agencia andes
Photo: File/Andes

Guayaquil, July 25 (Andes).- In the last decade, this port city has experienced a significant social and infrastructure development with a social inclusion approach after works done by the government of the Citizen Revolution, led by President Rafael Correa, which has invested 5,840 billion dollars since 2008.

Works have been focused on health, education, sports infrastructure, environmental clean-up, roads, security, sectors neglected by former governments and local administrations that focused investments in urban areas.

Hospital in Guasmo neighborhood has more than 400 beds.

New and restored hospitals

Despite the accelerated population growth in Guayaquil, a hospital had not been built since four decades ago which led to a collapse in the health public system.

To remedy such serious situation, the government is building two new hospitals with 400 beds each in Guasmo (south) and Monte Sinai (north) neighborhoods. These health centers will have complete services of outpatient care, hospitalization, emergency, intensive care unit, surgical and obstetrical center, neonatologist, infirmary unit, burn units, hemodialysis, HIV and dentistry centers, pharmacy and operating room.

However, while these modern health centers are being built, hospital Niño Francisco de Icaza Bustamante was restored and obtained international certification.

An outpatients’ department was also built in Abel Gilbert Ponton hospital, also internationally accredited. Likewise,  Universitario hospital of infectious diseases was restored and a new health center was built in El Cisne sector.

More than 453 million dollars have been invested for these works that benefit the 2,5 million inhabitants of the city and other cities in the Coast.

Education: 14 International Baccalaureate schools

Vicente Rocafuerte school was completely restored.

As in the health area, the area of education was neglected by former administrations which led to overcrowding in public schools, charging of high fees and the increase of bad quality private schools. It was common to see long lines of parents trying to enroll their children in schools each year.

In less than a decade, the government attacked such dire situation implementing the digital enrollment system, recovering schools, building new schools which led to having 14 accredited International Baccalaureate schools.

Until 2006, no public school in the country had such accreditation and now 209 schools have such recognition and other 279 are in process.

In Guayaquil, the government built six Millennium Schools, two were restored and nine schools are under construction. Moreover, there are 1,353 teaches.

The total education investment since 2008 to 2016 exceeds 2,186 billion dollars according to figures of the ministry.

Insecurity reduction

Guayaquil cuenta con un Laboratorio de Criminalística con tecnología de punta.

Until 2006, this city was characterized for being one of the most unsafe in the continent. Bank robbery, car, stores robbery, and other crimes occurred every day.

With equipment provision, technology, logistics, police training, modernization of the judicial system and especially policies for poverty reduction, crime rates drastically reduced.

This directly influences tourism which has significantly increased in the last years. A proof of that is the last award given to the city as “Leading Business Destination in the so-called “Oscars of Tourism”.

As a support in crime control, the government built 88 Community Police Units and two for Community Monitoring.

Furthermore, the police was given 638 cars to patrol, 904 motorcycles, 1,735 portable radios and 5,512 bulletproof vests. Security System ECU-911 which allows coordinating emergencies 24 hours, was built.

With an investment of 79 million dollars, the Regional Center for Social Rehabilitation was also built to guarantee that inmates go under rehabilitation processes in appropriate places.

Regarding justice, judicial centers in the south, north and center of the city were built with large spaces provided with modern technology to provide a fast service.

Internal Security forces have broken up 1,852 drug-trafficking rings and extremely dangerous neighborhoods have been monitored with social assistance policies.

Urban development and recovery of the Salado Estuary

Pedestrian bridge connects Guayaquil with Santay Island for the first time.

Ministries of Urban Development and Environment undertook one of the most ambitious projects which is the recovery of the Salado Estuary, an emblematic branch of the sea that was the beach for people in Guayaquil in the past which led to extreme contamination amid the lack of protection policies for this fragile ecosystem.

With the recovery of the Salado Estuary, more than 3,400 families resettled in safe areas with decent houses. These 17,390 citizens moved to places with infrastructure, drainage systems and urban equipment.

The Salado recovery project also includes the construction of 14 kilometers of lineal parks, where direct waste waters unloading was eliminated. Now water in the Estuaries recovered its fauna and flora characteristic of the area.

Concerning housing, 23,556 bonds for the construction of new houses or house recovery were granted between 2007 to 2016, including emergency projects and the Manuela Espejo program for people with disabilities. More than 112 million dollars have been invested for this area.

Road investment

The near 2 kilometer-long bridge connects Guayaquil with Duran.

Travelling from Guayaquil to the rest of the country through a bridge had become a problem with no solution. Therefore, the government built the so-called “cuarto puente” (fourth bridge) between Puntilla and Duran, a two kilometer-bridge, with an investment of $146,5bn.

The Ministry of Transport and Public Works has invested 221 million dollars in road infrastructure works such as the widening and maintenance of Guayaquil-Chongón which includes a bike lane.

Samanes Park is one of the biggest entertainment centers in Latin America.

Samanes Park

Until 2006, Guayaquil was one of the cities lacking green spaces. The lack of local planning led citizens to look for malls to entertain themselves, causing an increase of obesity in the population.

The government then made the decision to build one of the most modern and largest parks in Latin America in order for citizens to focus on sports, culture in a natural environment.

This park is part of the Guayaquil Ecologico project which includes the construction of a multicultural space with lakes, synthetic fields, stadium, cafeterias, paths and art, culture, sports centers.

Samanes, built with about 187 million dollars, is 100% operation in all of its stages for the benefit of 2,5 million inhabitants from Guayaquil.

The modernization of the Civil Registry, Financial Center, Social Security hospital are some the works that changed the image of the city of Guayaquil.

Asparagus in Hollandaise Sauce

Hollandaise sauce is a type of sauce made out of an emulsion of egg yolks and butter seasoned with lemon juice and cayenne; it is usually served hot with vegetables like this post, fish, and eggs benedict. This sauce is a part of the Mother Sauces” in gourmet French cooking, other sauces in this list are Béchamel, Veloute, Espagnole and Tomato Sauce.

This dish had originated in Normandy, France as most historians agree; it was initially called Sauce Isigny after a town in Normandy called Isigny-sur-Mer (a town famous for its good butter). Then during World War I butter production stopped in France and had to be imported from Holland, the sauce is then renamed to hollandaise to indicate the source of the butter and since then it retained the name. It is also believed that Sauce Isigny was inspired by a Dutch recipe brought to France by the Heugenots; it is made out of thickened eggs with little butter beaten to form like a savoury custard. Then in 1651 a recipe similar to the modern asparagus with hollandaise appeared in Francois Pierre de La Varenne’s cookbook which he called Asparagus in Fragrant Sauce, and here is what’s written.

Choose the largest, scrape the bottoms and wash, then cook in water, salt well, and don’t let them cook too much. When cooked, put them to drain, make a sauce with good fresh butter, a little vinegar, salt, and nutmeg, and an egg yolk to bind the sauce; take care that it doesn’t curdle; and serve the asparagus garnished as you like.

For this post we will be using this sauce with steamed asparagus similar to what Francois Pierre de La Varenne had made, a classic dish that is good paired with steaks and fish. How about you, do you know other uses of Hollandaise sauce?

Asparagus in Hollandaise Sauce
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
  • 1 bunch of asparagus
  • salt
Hollandaise Sauce
  1. In a small mixing bowl place the egg yolks and mix in high speed until it thickens and doubles in volume, might take around a minute or two.
  2. Slowly add the butter in thin stream then continue mixing while maintaining a thick consistency, add the mustard, lemon juice and cayenne then mix until well combined. Set aside in a warm location.
  3. Using a steamer steam asparagus spears for 3-5 minutes or until tender.
  4. Place asparagus in plate then pour sauce on top.

NHK Launches Ani-Kuri 15

Beginning May 7, the Japanese public broadcasting network NHK will launch a special collection of one-minute anime shorts by 15 of Japan's biggest anime directors and creators. The title of the collection, Ani-Kuri 15, is abbreviated from the words "anime" and "creators."

Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia Review

By | August 29, 2017

Dr Oz Garcinia CambogiaI have taken Garcinia Cambogia myself and found it to be a very useful way to lose weight. It certainly reduced my appetite and helped me feel better while I was dieting. Here is my Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia review:

If you were lucky enough to see the Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia show, then you know that this is a very powerful diet product. After all, he wouldn't promote it like he did if he didn't believe that it would work.

How Does Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia Work?

This is a product that was highly promoted by the television doctor a few months ago and has quickly become one of the fastest selling diet products of all time. In recent months, thousands of people have started to use this with great results, and with very few Garcinia Cambogia side effects.

What Will You Read in a Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia Review?

The key to choosing the right Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia is to make sure that you choose a product that is 100% pure and does not contain binders or fillers. This can be difficult to determine, and so most people are choosing to purchase this directly from the manufacturer online for safety.

How Much Weight Can You Lose With Pure Garcinia Cambogia Extract?

According to one Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia review, you will have no problem losing all the weight you need. The Garcinia Cambogia results you will see will depend on your weight, your age, and how healthy you are able to eat. But, the recent research done on Garcinia Cambogia has shown that this product can help people lose 10 pounds or more per month, even without making any major dietary changes. With those kind of results, Garcinia Cambogia extract is a great diet choice for most people.

Where Can You Buy Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia?

Even though you can buy some Garcinia Cambogia extract products in stores such as Walmart or Walgreens, you will still get a much better deal by buying Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia directly from the official web site. When you do, you will get a free bottle with select purchases and a money back guarantee, too.

As long as you go directly to the official website, you should have no problem picking up a Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia free trial, though you should act before the holidays. A lot of people are now trying to lose weight before the holidays, and before New Year’s, and so stocks are running low.

When you order the Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia free trial, you will not only get a money back guarantee, but a free membership into a weight loss and fitness program that can help you lose weight and get in shape even quicker.

If you want to lose weight quickly and safely, then I definitely recommend Dr Oz Garcinia Cambogia extract to help you stick to your diet and get better weight loss results.

Before & After: Molly's Family Room Fireplace Makeover

Before & After: Molly's Family Room Fireplace Makeover

Janel Laban
Sep 22, 2011

I love to hear that one of our "oldie but goodie" archive posts has helped somone out, years later. It's one of the best things about publishing online — all of the info we've shared over the years is still findable and usable — it lives on. Molly used our (2005!) post on how to get a limed effect on brick to tackle her fireplace makeover. Both it and the Family Room that it's part of look utterly amazing now. Take a peek…

Molly sent us the pics by email but she also wrote all about the fireplace and room redo on her blog, The Nesting Game. (such a great name!)

She writes:

The fireplace was another project and a half.
We knew we did not want to leave the brick as it was, but instead of simply painting it, we used a treatment I found on Apartment Therapy from the BBDW store in New York. (Read the comment about 2/3 of the way down by Tyler for the instructions, if interested.) All it is is drywall compound applied to the brick, dried and sanded. We sanded a little more than they did at BBDW because we wanted a bit more of a liming-effect, with some of the red showing through to tie into our color scheme.
It was a bit messy.
But worth it.

Ha! All the good projects seem to be just that - a bit messy, but worth it!

Be sure to check out all of Molly's makeover details:

Tax & Credit Changes

“Even when you win, it’s not over.”

South Dakota rancher Bill Slovek offered that statement as a warning to National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) members attending the organization’s Tax & Credit Committee meeting Jan. 29. Slovek chairs the committee, which met in San Diego, Calif., during the 2016 Cattle Industry Convention & NCBA Trade Show.

Slovek’s truism seemed particularly appropriate as NCBA staffer Kent Bacus reviewed 2015 and the twists and turns of the ever-changing U.S. tax code. In retrospect, Bacus called it a good year. For one thing, the House of Representatives voted to fully repeal the federal estate tax — the so-called death tax. The Senate has not taken up the measure, but Bacus called the House action a good sign.

According to Bacus, NCBA had pressed Congress to act on expired tax extenders. Action was slow in coming, but passage of the Omnibus Appropriations Bill was favorable for agricultural producers because it included a permanent extension of Section 179 expensing.

Feedbunk Management

When it comes to nutritional management of growing and finishing cattle, the scientific aspects tend to get the most attention. Hours are spent getting the formulations right and debating the merits of different ingredients and additives.

In truth, feeding cattle successfully is as much art and judgment as science. Judgment is required to balance between over- and underfeeding. Underfeeding limits performance and possibly quality grade. Feeding too much increases feed waste and, more importantly, can trigger acidosis, poor performance and increased death loss.

A South Dakota State University (SDSU) research study conducted by Bierman and Pritchard (1996) compared cattle fed all they would eat to those fed just enough so that all the feed was consumed in a 24-hour period. They observed that the steers fed with the slick-bunk strategy had similar average daily gain (ADG) but improved feed efficiency compared to the steers fed to appetite. There was also more variation in ADG among the steers fed all they would eat, suggesting that some of the steers may have experienced subclinical acidosis from overconsumption.

Livestock Diversity: Storing Genes for the Future

The National Animal Germplasm Collection, part of the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS), is ensuring that our livestock genetic diversity doesn’t disappear.

The mission is to build a germplasm collection as diverse as our present livestock populations as insurance against disasters like the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak that hit Britain in 2001. An incident like that could easily decimate the gene pool of a livestock species and cost billions in lost revenue, explained ARS geneticist Harvey Blackburn, who oversees the Collection. And dead is dead-and-gone if there aren’t backups in the freezer as the National Animal Germplasm Collection has in Fort Collins, Colo., he added.

As the world’s largest gathering of genetic material from food and fiber animals, the Collection stores nearly a million samples from 31,000 domestic animals. This includes conventional livestock like pigs, chickens and cattle, and farmed fish like trout, as well as unexpected species such as bison, elk and even yaks, because they are also raised for food and wool.

For more information, please view the full ARS news release online.

American Farm Bureau Federation Joins Initiative

The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) and a host of other agricultural groups revealed March 3 a ground-breaking data repository that supporters say will give farmers ultimate control over the ever-increasing business data gathered and transmitted by high-tech farm machinery.

Tractors, tilling equipment, planters, sprayers, harvesters and agricultural drones are increasingly connected to the Internet. Even so, farmers don’t always have the ability to precisely control where that data goes, nor transfer it from one data processor to another. The newly formed Agricultural Data Coalition (ADC) will empower farmers to better control, manage and maximize the value of the data they collect every day in the fields.

ADC’s goal is to build a national online repository where farmers can securely store and control the information collected by their tractors, harvesters, aerial drones and other devices.

For more information, please view the full Farm Bureau news release online.

Replacing Toxic Fescue

The last stop on a four-day series of novel-endophyte fescue schools will be hosted at Linneus, Mo., March 31. Many of the Missouri studies of new nontoxic fescues were at the University of Missouri (MU) Forage Systems Research Center (FSRC), site of the school.

“FSRC has 150 acres of novel-endophyte tall fescue,” says Dave Davis, superintendent. “We use it with management-intensive grazing systems.”

All commercially available varieties are being compared under grazing in small-plot research, Davis says. The variety plots were seeded in September 2011. Farmers can see and compare the stands during the daylong school.

“To date, all cultivars have held up well,” Davis said. “One reason for the test was to see how they held up under grazing.”

All This, and Heaven Too (1940)

Director: Anatole Litvak
Stars: Bette Davis and Charles Boyer
Bette Davis is the new French teacher at Miss Haines School for Young Ladies, hardly surprising given that she's playing a character called Henriette Deluzy-Desportes and there's a little hint of accent in her voice. The young ladies she'll be teaching carry names that are as close to American nobility as any, names like Van Buren, Van Horn, Vanderbilt, lots of Vans. It's Emily Schuyler who causes her trouble though, dredging up an old scandal during her very first lesson. Apparently Miss Deluzy has a history, one involving a French prison called Conciergerie and a man called de Praslin.

And so we head back in time to 1846 and across the Atlantic to Paris, in which she soon arrives by boat from Southampton where she's been a governess for five years. She's hoping to become a governess in Paris too, to the children of the Duc and Duchesse de Praslin: three girls, from eight to thirteen, and a younger boy who is obviously the root of many arguments between his parents. There seem to be many arguments between Teo and Frances, the Duc and Duchesse, mostly the angry and impulsive Duchesse, a twitchy drama queen in the form of Barbara O'Neil. The Duc, on the other hand, is the charming and composed Charles Boyer, who of course has by far the best French accent in the film, given that unlike everyone else, he was actually French.

This pair are arguing the moment Miss Deluzy arrives and we're given plenty of hints that the Duc can hardly bear to even touch his wife nowadays. Reynald is the product of his parents' conciliation, making him torn in the affections of his father: he loves his son and heir but resents the 'mistake' that led to his birth. Reynald is Richard Nichols, who is the sort of child who women find utterly adorable and men find a painful overdose of cuteness. He soon becomes the focus of the story, as he gets the sniffles just in time for the Duchesse to overrule her governess and take him out for a ride. Sure enough, the next we see he's dying of diphtheria, with Henriette given the Duc's full trust and authority and the Duchess relegated to her bedroom. He does get well but you can bet those bridges aren't going to get rebuilt overnight. We see very little of him from then on, but he still gets too much chance to demonstrate his broad and conspicuously non-French accent.

Reynald's sisters are an intriguing set of child actresses. Isabelle, the eldest, is June Lockhart, a quarter of a century before she'd become the mother in Lost in Space. She looks amazingly plain as a kid so obviously grew into her face over time. Louise is Virginia Weidler, the same year she stole scenes from Cary Grant, Kate Hepburn and James Stewart in The Philadelphia Story, which was the peak of her career. At thirteen years of age, she was already nearing the end of it, with 32 films behind her and only 11 to go. She'd retire at sixteen in 1943. Berthe, the youngest, is nine year old Ann E Todd, not to be confused with the English actress Ann Todd, because of whom she adopted the middle initial. All are capable here without ever having to steal scenes by being children. That's a compliment in my book.

While the stars of the film are Bette Davis and Charles Boyer, it was surprisingly Barbara O'Neil who was Oscar nominated. Davis is certainly the good girl for a change, which gives her less opportunity to shine than usual. There's still opportunity there, given that she's the servant and victim of circumstance throughout, but it's far less obvious opportunity than O'Neil gets as the temperamental and conniving bitch of the piece. Yet, as good as she is, we're often watching Barbara O'Neil act rather than the character she plays. Perhaps she was practicing what her screen daughter did a year earlier: she was Scarlett O'Hara's mother in Gone with the Wind. Davis, for all that she's so much quieter as a character, is at least a character and not a performance. She stays that way throughout the turmoil.

Boyer is fine but there's nothing here that he hasn't done before or since and in parts that had more depth than this one. He was so good at the romantic pursuer that he became the chief inspiration for the stereotype, Pepe le Pew, yet he was just as good at seething and quietly threatening and stalking the room in suppressed rage and he thankfully gets a few darker scenes like that here. The only problem is that they aren't long enough. The film would have been better for more Boyer and more for him to do. In fact he doesn't even get to do the usual romancing, or at least not to the usual degree.

Being a golden era Warner Brothers picture, and an expensive one given that it contained a record 67 sets to be built by studio the and 37 costumes for Miss Davis that cost $1,000 each, which value is utterly not visible on screen, there are a number of regular names here, some of whom I'm always glad to see. Their names reoccur so often that they become even more frequent screen friends than the leads, however brief their parts usually are. There's Montagu Love as the Duchesse's father, the Marechal Sebastiani, and there's George Coulouris as a valet who is thrust upon the Duc by his father-in-law. Fritz Leiber, so often a priest, is the Abbe Gallard, the Duchesse's father confessor. Henry Daniell is a French policeman. Best of all, there's Harry Davenport as the knowing and characterful Pierre, one of the de Praslin's servants, who sees what goes on behind the windows of the house.

While the story here is well told, it's a melodramatic thing that doesn't hold many, if any, surprises to the viewer. The ending is as thoroughly expected as it's gloriously emotional and overblown. I could hear the primarily female audience at the time sobbing through it, almost seventy years in the past. The only thing in the film that was unexpected to me came in the name of the man who reports certain later events in the newspaper, something that has absolutely no bearing on anything else. Then again the simplicity and inevitability of the story is probably due to the fact that it's based on a novel by Rachel Field, who died two years later and was best known as a children's writer. While this was one of her adult novels, it unfolds with the emotions of a child and certain darker things are worthy of much more depth and far less deliberate oversight.

Make no mistake, it's a gem for those of an overly sentimental bent and I can fully see why many people would find this becoming a personal favourite. For my part, I became more fascinated by the penmanship used by a number of characters, hardly something most people would care about. Maybe it's the typographer in me or maybe it's the fact that I write all my work on a laptop keyboard while back in the 1840s people wrote with quills dipped in ink. Perhaps it's the fact that even if I do write with a pen, my handwriting sucks royally, while a number of characters here write very capably and very beautifully with a quill. I don't know if it was the actors themselves, like Barbara O'Neil, or handwriting stunt doubles but whoever it was deserves much credit, more than the writers of the story.

There's something else of interest here too, something behind the scenes. I wonder how the two leads felt about the characters they played. Bette Davis plays a woman who falls in love with a man who falls in love with her, though precisely nothing happens that is untoward. Yet, she had been having an affair with the film's director, Anatole Litvak, while he was still married to Miriam Hopkins. They divorced a few months before shooting started on this picture. Hopkins played opposite Davis twice during this period and the chemistry is unmistakeable, at least in The Old Maid, where there are scenes of pure hate between them. I hadn't realised at the time that they may have had real life depth behind them.

Charles Boyer was married only once, apparently very happily indeed, something that is rather surprising for classic Hollywood and somehow even more surprising for such a great romantic lead of the screen. Fans of his screen image must have imagined him following in Valentino's footsteps, or at least Pepe le Pew's, and seducing a new woman every night. However his happy marriage lasted 44 years until the death of his wife, actress Pat Paterson. He followed her two days later with an overdose of barbiturates. His character here commits suicide by self poisoning also, albeit for different reasons. Art often imitates life, but sometimes life imitates art in return.

The Rush Blog said...

I hate to say this. Although Barbara O'Neil had the most interesting role, I found her performance to be over-the-top. I mean she was ham to the bone. Personally, I would have never given her an Oscar nomination.

Hal C F Astell said...

Thanks for your comment. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

1940 was right there at the peak of classic Hollywood too. It wasn't as if there wasn't any competition.

A Guideline to Wedding Photography Styles

Your wedding is the biggest day of your life. It deserves to be preserved in memory in the most beautiful way possible so that years later you can sit down with your family to reminisce about it.

When it comes to wedding photography, you have certain style options to choose from depending on how you plan on remembering your event. And to preserve your beautiful moments, following are some options you should consider before making a choice.

1) Digital or Film Photography

Digital is the most convenient and common way of shooting because it’s time-efficient, adjustable to all kinds of lighting, and easy to review. Film photography is quite outdated but it’s making a comeback for the right reasons.

Film has a very soft and rustic feel to it. Yes, it needs more money and more time spent but the results are fabulous. So choose what you feel is best. But remember that your wedding day is going to be maybe the most important day in your life and probably the extra cost will be worthy.

2) Candid Photojournalism

If you are a fan of vintage images, much like your parents’ or your grandparents’ wedding photos, then this style should be on your radar. This style focuses on romanticizing the most ordinary moments and adding an artistic touch to them.

With a spectacular backdrop to play with like that of Paris, your photos will look like a scene out of a Hollywood classic. Classic shots qualify amongst J. Leal’s finest work so you are in good hands.

3) Artistic or Stylized Photography

Every wedding photograph doesn’t have to be a perfectly posed frame-worthy picture. Artistic shots embrace the cute, intimate, and fun moments between the couple during the event and their shoot.

The artistic trend is followed by using hard lighting techniques to draw the attention to the subject and still incorporating a storytelling journalistic effect.
These are the ones you keep close to your heart as they are unique and beautiful. Paris being the most romantic destination wedding hub has the most scenic venues so you are guaranteed to get some stunning shots.

4) Lifestyle or Strobe Photography

Lifestyle photography has more of a photojournalistic approach to it as the pictures are candid yet staged. It’s the most wonderful concoction because the photographs exude a very classy yet approachable and relaxed aura. It’s all about clicking the right moments.

J. Leal has done a lot of work with this style and the results are stunning, so if you are looking for fotografos en Paris (photographer in Paris), he is probably your best option.

5) Dramatic

For those amongst us who love extravagance and glamour, this style’s for you. Dramatic shots play with lighting and it requires a lot of staging. If natural lighting is giving you a hard time, you have to be prepared with an alternate solution to create similar effects. Look for a professional who loves a challenge and dramatic shots are nothing short of a test.

We all have a different idea about how we want our special day to be captured and remembered. Always do your research beforehand and choose wisely because this day deserves to be immortalized in the most glorious way.

They Might *** Her *** And Even *** Their *** On Her *** – March 20, 2011

Sunday, March 20, 2011

• Tuesday, February 8 11:05 a.m. A multimodal man in a camouflage jacket enjoyed the best of all transportation worlds on Samoa Boulevard – on the sidewalk, riding a bike with a motor.

2:23 p.m. An ambulance took a bleeding bicyclist away from the scene of a collision with a car on 11th Street.

5:13 p.m. A box under a Janes Road motel’s sign reportedly contained a trapped dog, which was heard “crying.” An officer found no dog, just the sign coming apart, with metal grating against metal and somehow simulating dog whining.

• Wednesday, February 9 10:52 a.m. A Lynn Street dog was reported escaping from a yard and aggressing against people, with no one willing to take responsibility for it. The resident said they were getting rid of the dog soon.

1:39 p.m. A one-man obnoxiousness fountain set up a smoking and panhandling station at the front door of a Valley West restaurant. He may have been drunk, but at least he was verbally aggressive. Police arrested him on a warrant out of Ripon.

1:40 p.m. When a City employee asked a multi-dog walker to place the pooches on a leash at the Marsh, the person went all Tourette on him.

2:05 p.m. The library camper said she was attacked by an officer and wanted her pepper spray back.

5:17 p.m. A credit union reported an elderly woman a possible victim of elder abuse, with her checks stolen, forged and cashed. The victim hadn’t authorized use of the checks, which were taken over a six-month period.

5:21 p.m. A woman who had reportedly forged postal money orders and deposited them in her account was now proving difficult to reach.

5:55 p.m. A vehicle vs. bike accident at 11th and I sent the cyclist to the hospital.

7:19 p.m. A man who said he “hid” a box in the lobby of the Post Office reported that it and the personal items within had been stolen.

• Thursday, February 10 10:13 a.m. A shotgun was found in the backyard of an Eye Street house.

10:15 a.m. Someone chained a dog to a fence on Samoa Boulevard, walked away and left it there.

2:51 p.m. A man rented his home to 215 patients with the understanding that they would set up a medical grow. With that, the tenants erected a full-on for-profit cannabis grow in the garage. On witnessing the magnitude of the operation, the dismayed landlord went to police with his concerns. An officer paid a call to the house and notified the tenant that he would be back within days, hopefully to a home free of illegal cultivation. And when he returned, it was.

10:04 p.m. What was reported as an apartment-shaking male-female argument possibly including wrestling on Janes Road turned out to be drunken men brawling.

• Friday, February 11 1:35 a.m.

An alleyside saxophone stylist

Was on nearby neighbors’ no-fly list

Though moody-amazing

The loud, brassy phrasings

Were, six minutes later, all silenced

7:37 a.m. A cow became mired in a creek off Q Street near Zehndner Avenue, and when some loose dogs discovered the helpless bovine, their wolf-pack mentality kicked in. Police arrived, the cow was unstuck and a wilding dog captured with a catchpole. The owner was located and cited for allowing dogs at large.

10:17 a.m. Someone posted malicious ads online stating that a resident was having an estate sale and that one resident would commit sexual acts.

10:23 a.m. An unlocked bike in a Northtown apartment stairwell was like fish in a barrel for a thief, except without all the wriggling. Loss: $300.

12:26 p.m. A J Street resident partially fell for an Internet scam that had involved him acting as a “mystery shopper,” wherein he would patronize local businesses and report on the service. The unusual method of compensation involved two sizeable (and fraudulent) money orders, which he was to deposit in his account. He was supposed to keep $170, but take $1,680 out and deposit it in another account. But when he didn’t follow through with the banking maneuvers, the scamsters threatened to call police. The mystery shopper notified them instead, along with the bank and FBI.

12:55 p.m. When a man in jeans and sweatshirt finished his beer at the transit center, he flung the can over the fence onto the grounds of the nearby City offices.

1:01 p.m. After fomenting a fuss at a Valley West store, a man bicycled away at good speed. Tracked down on Spear Avenue, he reported that voices had told him he “wasn’t going to heaven.” But because of the outstanding warrants, he was taken to purgatory.

8:35 p.m.

The drums were both loud and amorphous

Downtown where the throbbing performance

From multiple sources

Drew government forces

To shut down the drummers’ endorphins

9:15 p.m. A disgruntled bargoer used the courtesy phone outside APD to complain that his civil rights had been compromised by a Plaza tavern.

9:21 p.m. A man was just crazy enough to kick in a door on South H Street, and to be institutionalized.

10:35 p.m. A man yelling for help and breaking windows at a Valley West motel left rooms 113, 114 and 115 well ventilated.

10:40 p.m.

From Samoa and H to the Schwazz

The thunder of drums gave folks pause

And upside-down smilin’

Which sent them to dialin’

For help from applicable laws

• Friday, February 13 12:23 p.m. An unidentified animal became trapped in a waste receptacle at the Marsh.

• Saturday, February 14 12:54 p.m. A locked car at 12th and K streets was entered and pillaged.

2:15 p.m. A Valley West dumpster fire was only discovered the following afternoon, with the metal box still warm.

4:46 p.m. A woman reported that after moving in to a new residence two weeks previous, persons unknown had entered her home at least three times. She could tell this because she configures her locks a certain way, and whoever it is that is coming in leaves them in the same position on leaving. She believes the suspects’ mission is to “sniff her underwear and rub their genitals on her food.” She said she was still “gathering evidence.”

5:41 p.m. From the Boat Basin, the view of the wastewater treatment plant to the west included an open flame shooting eight or nine feet in the air from some sort of vent. The exhaust was believed to be coming from the Corp Yard crematorium.

7:06 p.m. A woman complained that her roommates had told her she had to move out because she wasn’t “meshing” with them. She said that when she went for a walk to ease the tension, they followed her out and told her, “We can either do this the easy way or the hard way,” which she took as a threat.

7:32 p.m. One of the woman’s roommates called, stating that he didn’t feel safe around her. He was told it was a civil matter and to select roommates carefully. Then he pitched a new line, stating that the woman wasn’t on any lease or paperwork, so she was actually trespassing, which is a crime. He was told not to change his story in order to get the desired result. Then the woman called back, saying that the roommates were banging on her door, yelling and saying that they were going to cut the lock off her door and throw all her stuff out. Police went and counseled civility.

• Sunday, February 14 12:59 a.m. An extremely drunken man snuggled up against an ATM/Lotto machine in the front of a Uniontown variety store. He was arrested on a public drunkenness charge.

9:23 a.m. A letter accusing a resident of child molestation was distributed throughout an Arcata neighborhood. You read it here.

2:27 p.m. A naked man was seen swimming in the creek west of Janes Road.

3:55 p.m. A business owner noticed improper use of a company credit card and confronted his bookkeeper. She said the card had been stolen and a new one ordered. But the funky charges kept showing up, and he confronted her again. This time she admitted misusing the card, and was fired. He wanted the issue documented.

5:23 p.m. A South H Street resident complained that his roommate was stealing food from him, having eaten his hamburger without permission.

• Monday, February 15 11:57 a.m. An agitated man wandering Spear Avenue with a bag of clothing in hand took refuge in an infant and toddler center where it could be argued that he didn’t “mesh” with the tots and caregivers. He was advised against trespassing.

12:38 p.m. Police were asked to look in on a man who had called the Board of Supervisors stating that their authority might be “overthrown.”

6:36 p.m. A wrong-way car took out the stop sign at Ninth and H streets.

• Tuesday, February 16 10:50 a.m. A worker smoking medicine inside a Samoa Boulevard business hadn’t been aware that he shouldn’t do that.

12:12 p.m. Travelers were said to be stashing property in ducts above parking spaces on 12th Street. An officer couldn’t locate anything to verify this.

1:51 p.m. A loose pit bull on Spear Avenue entered a backyard, where the resident said it was “teasing” her chickens.

1:56 p.m. A Samoa Boulevard business again complained of smoke issuing from the shop on the first floor. The shop owner said he hadn’t smoked anything within 20 feet of the door since arriving at 11 a.m. He wanted information about how to deal with the slanderous accusations being made by other tenants.

6:49 p.m. A Valley West resident complained that a neighbor had a camera trained on her apartment, and that the landlord had pictures of the neighbor installing a listening device outside.

10:33 p.m. A car crash at Giuntoli Lane and Valley East Boulevard resulted in a drunk driving arrest.

• Wednesday, February 17 1:46 p.m. A woman loaned her $5,000 Martin acoustic guitar to her daughter, a teacher, who used it to play occasionally songs for kids in class. Then it went missing.

7:34 p.m. A man reported that his friend was locked inside a Fifth Street storage yard. Storage yard officials said that was the policy, and that it was clearly posted. An officer came and negotiated release from the mini-storage gulag.

• Thursday, February 18 10:29 a.m. A Valley West motel lodger complained that the maid had stolen $10 and some change from his room. Management said he was trying to get a free room.

1:33 p.m. A bag of marijuana was taken away from a middle school student.

10:36 p.m. A Tanglewood Road resident reported his subwoofers stolen from his unlocked car in his driveway overnight, and now, telltale thudding was emanating from a house down the street. The victim thought there might be a connection.

fig.23—cross-cut correlations yield imperfect information

 To compare the verbal modalities of fig.21 to sensory modalities (or ‘modal senses’) in fig.23, we apply horizontal and vertical slicing to qualitative quantities—that is, adjective-constrained nouns:

Both criteria sets map to environmental topography and anatomical topology. Split vertically we find ‘upper’ senses of sight and sound span great distances, while ‘lower’ senses of taste and touch require close proximity to make contact. Split horizontally both sounds and tastes unfold across specific intervals of time, while sight and touch persist in space across any interval of time

index | 1.3.9 (32) | | next

“Coming to grips with our own special cognitive nature demands that we take very seriously the material reality of language [...] in our internal and external environment. From sounds in the air to inscriptions on the printed page [...] our cognitive relation to our own words and language (both as individuals and as a species) defies any simple logic of inner versus outer.”—Andy Clark 2008

 The advancement of cognitive neuroscience creates opportune challenges for psychologists and philosophers alike. Many note, like Clark, that the “simple logic” of absolute dichotomy fails to address the problems posed by and in the languages that perfuse “our internal and external environment.” Our visuospatial situation sets us on the earth immediately beneath our feet as we gaze out across intermediate light-years. Mentally compressing massive spans, we inscribe persistent records of our time here. Conversely, our fleeting temporal intervals grant us speech, music and song. Even a simple two-variable slice can reveal how our multi-modular language spans a dynamic range of cross-modal experience.

You may find this information helpful when researching the area prior to your visit

That there was a spiritual side to the life of the earliest inhabitants of the highlands and islands, the barrows and occucists testify; as also, most of all, do the great stone circles like those at Brodgar in Orkney or Callanish in Lewis, along with the many standing stones and circles on Mull. These sites are signs of a conscious and deliberate decision, by people of whom we know so little, to raise symbols of honour and respect. As time passed these symbols came to bear carvings, proving that an artistic instinct had developed and was here revealed.

These then were our ancestors. They were not unique. Those who came here had come from somewhere else, and there they had left behind their kindred. The distinctiveness of the Scots is not therefore to be found in any one genetic origin, but rather in the blending of all these components which occurred here and, in these proportions, here alone.

We are inclined to form wrong impressions of what would happen as successive waves of invaders descended upon the people already in possession of the land. It is easy to assume that invaders would go in for massacre and extermination, but a little commonsense should lead us to calmer and more accurate judgement.

For one thing, while some victims of the attack will die in heroic resistance, and others, more lucky, will run away, the vast majority simply stay where they are and make the best of a bad job. The conquerors, for their part, don't want corpses, they want workers, servants, perhaps slaves, but at least useful, living subordinates.

Also when conquest and occupation by intruders first happens, the intruders are almost by definition, warrior bands and thus male. As well as land and property, victorious men will seize upon women by right of conquest, and will claim them as their mates. After the initial attacks had occurred and a new dominant group had established itself, the future lay with people whose parentage was part native and part conqueror.

The conquerors, to be sure, would impose their kind of society, their customs, and, especially, their language; but they could not and did not eradicate the people they had conquered. They dominated and ruled, but that is not the same as destroying those now at their mercy.

We can see this pattern unfolding when we turn to consider the group of invaders who next came to Britain, because we are in a position to know much more about them than we can possibly know of the earliest peoples.

For knowledge of these earliest inhabitants we have to rely upon archaeology and scientific deductions, but the new invaders have left an oral and, eventually, a written record from which we can draw understanding.

These new invaders, arriving some 2500 years ago, were members of the Celtic racial group, coming from the north-western parts of Europe, and at least kindred of, if not wholly identical to, the Gauls who then held those lands. They were of the Brythonic branch of the Celtic peoples, or 'P' Celts, so called because their language commonly employed labial consonants, p, b, v and so on, in words like 'pen' = 'head' and 'ap' = 'son of'. They established their supremacy over the land and its existing inhabitants imposing their ways and their languages. The Celts were a group of peoples that occupied lands stretching from the British Isles to Gallatia. The Celts had many dealings with other cultures that bordered the lands occupied by these peoples, and even though there is no written record of the Celts stemming from their own documents, we can piece together a fair picture of them from archeological evidence as well as historical accounts from other cultures. The first historical recorded encounter of a people displaying the cultural traits associated with the Celts comes from northern Italy around 400 BC, when a previously unkown group of barbarians came down from the Alps and displaced the Etruscans from the fertile Po valley, a displacment that helped to push the Etruscans from history's limelight. The next encounter with the Celts came with the still young Roman Empire, directly to the south of the Po. The Romans in fact had sent three envoys to the beseiged Etruscans to study this new force. We know from Livy's The Early History of Rome that this first encounter with Rome was quite civilized:
