Cruising on P&O’s Arvia

The MS Arvia is P&O’s newest cruise liner. The ship has 19 decks, is 1,130ft (344.5m) long, and has capacity for 5,200 passengers. It is certainly the largest ship that I have ever sailed on. My wife booked a cruise on the Arvia because it was sailing from Southampton to the Western Mediterranean, so no flying was involved. The flying itself was not an issue, like most other people we dislike…

Synopsis (synthesized from magazine summaries of the plot):

Princess Ankhnespaton [sic] (June Elvidge), daughter of King Akhnaton [sic] (Howard Gaye), has a run in with a band of thieves while traveling. Prince Karmit (Malcolm McGregor) of Syria arrives, disguised as a merchant, and saves the princess. The princess becomes enamored with Karmit and invites him back to the royal residence in Thebes. 

While visiting the royal gardens, Karmit encounters a dancer, Arvia (Carmel Myers). He is instantly smitten. The princess is furious that Karmit has rebuffed her for a mere dancer.

Meanwhile, tension between those loyal to the king and those loyal to the old gods erupt when the seasonal flooding of the Nile river doesn’t occur. The princess finds in this situation an opportunity to get her revenge on Arvia. 

The princess decrees that Arvia will be offered as a human sacrifice to the god Sobek, in order that the Nile will rise as expected. Arvia is adorned with a poisoned amulet to knock her out while she is fed to the crocodiles.

In an unexpected turn of events, the high priest Pasheri (Sam De Grasse) discovers that the intended sacrifice is his own daughter. Pasheri sneaks into the chamber where Arvia is to be sacrificed and saves her at the last moment. 

With Pasheri’s aid, Karmit whisks Arvia away. As the Nile rises, the new couple sail away to Karmit’s kingdom to live happily ever after.

The princess goes on to marry Prince Tutankhamen (Bertram Grassby). And, after the death of her father Prince Tut will become King Tut.

Additional sequence(s) featured in the film (but I’m not sure where they fit in the continuity):

The Temple of Amun-Re is also depicted in the film.

Points of Interest:

While many contemporary reviewers of The Dancer of the Nile (DotN) didn’t mark it as an especially good film, props were given for the artistic effects achieved by Director Earle. Earle and his brother, Ferdinand Pinney Earle, were both pioneers of the era in special effects. 

Ferdinand was a painter who contributed matte paintings and art titles to many films of the 1910s and 1920s. While William was primarily a director, both brothers ambitiously created films that were on the cutting edge in regard to techniques of incorporating matte paintings with live actors/studio-shot footage. 

For William, it was DotN, and for Ferdinand it was A Lover’s Oath (1920/1925, presumed lost save for a few fragments), which was an adaptation of Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat. (ATM, I’m planning on doing the next installment of this series on this film!)

(Explanatory note: One technique at use here involves double exposure. Part of the frame is obscured while filming, leaving the obscured part of the film unexposed. The film is then rewound, with the exposed part of the film obscured, to film another element. The final result is, hopefully, a cohesive sequence. 

Another technique is shooting through painted glass, which, if painted and lit correctly, results in the painting and the scene occurring behind it appearing as a singular space. 

For example, a fully painted environment with live actors moving across the scene. In DotN, there is at least one scene where a live actress ascends a set of stairs, which is a painting. These techniques require an amazing amount of precision, but when done right they can be really dazzling. The double-exposure matting technique has persisted through most of film history, albeit rarely at the scale the Earle brothers were using it! 

Below is an illustration of how a moving version of matte photography works from a 1926 issue of Photoplay, followed by some stills from DotN that used the multiple-exposure technique.

I have a few posts coming up that go into more detail on how special effects were executed in films of the 1920s!)

William P.S. Earle’s focus on the artistic elements without much regard for story or characterization may have left many critics cold, but DotN did prove to be a lasting attraction, running in theatres around the world for years following its release.  DotN was produced hot on the heels of the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb in 1922 in Luxor, which launched a new wave of Egyptomania. On one hand, Earle was cashing in on a trend, but on the other, he took the opportunity offered by assured profitability to experiment. In addition to the special effects discussed above, Earle attempted to capture as much period accuracy as possible in the painted settings, props, and costumes. Balancing historical accuracy with perceived “authenticity” in period art is exceedingly difficult—Earle seemingly had mixed success. However, one contemporary review in the magazine Art and Archaeology by Dudley S. Corlett (also the film’s technical advisor) is highly complementary of DotN’s attention to historical and artistic detail. [You can find the review in the transcription section!]

After Earle had more or less finished DotN, F.B.O. bought “Tut-ankh-amen” for distribution. F.B.O. financed reshoots that shifted the narrative away from Tut and towards Arvia, the dancer—hence the title change. I guess F.B.O. believed that cashing in on the trend of movies about dancers would be more lucrative than cashing in on Tut-mania!

My Picks for Theme Week: Warrior's Way!

Arvia

Her most valuable possession is the black banner she carries wherever she goes, she took it from the first enemy she defeated when she traveled the world as a mercenary.

She left behind her martial past, for the most part, but her first prize of battle will always serve as a reminder of her own strength and resilience in the face of adversity.4

Silas

Silas, along with his brothers Renas and Damask were the first dragons trained by Arcelia, and defended Najiba's territory for more than a century. Silas, unlike his brothers, retired not because he was tired of the fight, but because he knew his brothers would not leave the field without him. So he still trains other dragons from time to time, mostly when Arcelia, or Calliope specifically request it of him. His most treasured possession is a skull enchanted by Micaela that allows him to communicate with his brothers, no matter the distance.

Calliope

Calliope originally came to challenge Arcelia in an attempt to prove to herself and others that there wasn't anything she needed to fear. However, when she met her the Paladin refused a fight just for the sake of violence; Worthiness after all is not determined by physical prowess, but by how a dragon chooses to use her abilities. What she chooses to fight for, rather than against. Calliope wasn't too happy about Arcelia's refusal, at least not in the beginning. But the longer she stuck around(trying and failing to challenge Arcelia), the more she came to understand Arcelia's reluctance to enter battle without good cause. So much so that she one day joined Arcelia's fight to defend the territory of Najiba's clan, even though she did not have loyalty for her, or the others, at this point in time. By now Calliope is more than just a trusted advisor to The Golden Paladin, and assumes authority in her stead whenever necessary.

Atrazine Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.07% through 2029

The Advancements in herbicide technologies and increasing awareness about crop protection is expected to drive the Global Atrazine Market growth in the forecast period, 2025-2029.

According to TechSci Research report, “Atrazine Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2029”, the Global Atrazine Market stood at USD 1.32 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 6.07% in the forecast period, 2025-2029. The awareness among individuals regarding Atrazine has led to favorable market conditions for the global Atrazine market. Several factors contribute to the growth of various Atrazine products.

Atrazine is a widely used herbicide in agriculture, primarily for weed control in crops such as corn, sorghum, sugarcane, and others. The global demand for food and agricultural products has been on the rise due to population growth and changing dietary patterns. As farmers strive to enhance crop yields and protect their crops from invasive weeds, the demand for effective herbicides like atrazine tends to increase.

The adoption of genetically modified crops, engineered for traits such as herbicide tolerance, has been a significant driver for herbicides like atrazine. Atrazine is often used in conjunction with GM crops designed to resist the herbicide's effects, providing farmers with an effective tool for weed management. The increased acceptance and cultivation of GM crops can contribute to the growth of the atrazine market, which will further fuel market growth.

In October 2023 - Arvia Technology announces the launch of its new AI-powered platform for crop health monitoring. The platform uses satellite imagery and machine learning to identify and track crop stress early on, helping farmers take corrective action before yields are impacted.

With a growing awareness of the importance of crop protection to ensure food security, farmers are increasingly adopting herbicides like atrazine as part of their crop management practices. Atrazine's effectiveness in controlling a broad spectrum of weeds makes it a valuable tool for farmers seeking efficient and cost-effective solutions for weed management. Education and awareness programs about modern agricultural practices also play a role in driving the use of atrazine.

In today's fast-paced world, Atrazine stands out as an efficient herbicide for weed control, particularly in staple crops like corn, sorghum, and sugarcane. In a world where food production needs to keep pace with population growth, effective weed management is essential. Atrazine's ability to control a broad spectrum of weeds contributes to higher crop yields by minimizing competition for resources such as nutrients, water, and sunlight. The demand for high-yield crop production is a direct consequence of the need to feed a growing population. Atrazine aids farmers in achieving optimal yields by ensuring that crops can grow without the hindrance of invasive weeds. In a fast-paced world where efficiency is paramount, atrazine's role in supporting high-yield agriculture becomes instrumental in meeting global food demands. Atrazine provides a time-efficient and labor-saving solution for weed management. In a world where agriculture is increasingly mechanized, the streamlined application of atrazine allows farmers to allocate resources more efficiently. The herbicide's effectiveness reduces the need for manual labor in weed control, freeing up time for farmers to focus on other essential tasks.

Regulatory frameworks and government policies regarding pesticide use, environmental protection, and food safety can significantly impact the atrazine market. Stringent regulations on certain herbicides may lead to the development and adoption of alternative products, while favorable regulations can support the continued use of atrazine. Monitoring and compliance with environmental standards are crucial factors influencing the market dynamics for atrazine.

In recent times, Atrazine continues to be a cornerstone in effective weed management strategies. As global agriculture contends with the constant threat of weed competition, atrazine's ability to control a broad spectrum of weeds remains invaluable. This is particularly significant in recent times as farmers seek reliable and efficient solutions to ensure optimal crop yields in the face of evolving weed populations. The contemporary emphasis on sustainable agriculture aligns well with atrazine's role in responsible weed control.

When used judiciously and in accordance with regulatory guidelines, atrazine contributes to sustainable farming practices. Its targeted action minimizes the impact on non-target plants and supports environmental stewardship, addressing the growing concerns about the ecological footprint of agricultural activities. However, the Environmental Concerns and Regulatory Scrutiny may hinder market growth. Moreover, challenges related to Resistance Management and Weed Adaptation may pose obstacles to the Atrazine market in the near future.

The Global Atrazine Market is segmented into form, crop type, mode of application, stage of application, regional distribution, and company.

Based on its form, the dry segment has emerged as the predominant market leader, Dry atrazine formulations, such as granular or wettable powder, are generally easier to handle and apply compared to liquid formulations. They can be easily applied using conventional agricultural equipment, making them a preferred choice for farmers. Dry atrazine formulations are less prone to spillage and contamination compared to liquid formulations.

This is particularly important for environmental protection, as atrazine is a potential groundwater contaminant. Dry atrazine formulations generally have better storage stability compared to liquid formulations, which are more susceptible to degradation under certain environmental conditions. Dry atrazine formulations are often more cost-effective than liquid formulations, as they typically have lower transportation and storage costs. These factors are expected to drive the growth of this segment.

Based on region, North America segment is expected to grow during the forecast period. Corn is the most widely cultivated crop in North America, and atrazine is a highly effective herbicide for controlling broadleaf weeds in cornfields. North American agriculture is characterized by large-scale farms and extensive use of herbicides, making atrazine a popular choice due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of application. Compared to other regions, North America has a relatively relaxed regulatory environment regarding the use of atrazine, which has contributed to its widespread adoption.

The Asia-Pacific market is poised to be the fastest-growing market, offering lucrative growth opportunities for Atrazine players during the forecast period. Factors such as the Asia Pacific region is experiencing rapid growth in crop production, particularly in cereals and oilseeds, which are major crops for atrazine application. The increasing prevalence of weeds in agricultural fields is driving the demand for effective herbicides like atrazine. Improvements in agricultural infrastructure, such as irrigation systems and mechanization, are facilitating the use of atrazine in the region.
