When these small business owners were asked: 'How much time are you spending as a business owner with financials now as opposed to when you started up?', around 41% of them answered that they are taking more time in getting their businesses in shape now than they use to earlier.
So what stops business owners from taking an active interest in financial management early on? This is a key cultural barrier. Traditionally businesses have depended on CA's and accountants to take care of their financial requirements. Conversely, the accountants commonly have limited access to business processes and objectives.A fallout is that accountants and book keepers often retrofit generic accounting tools into the business. This often limits the business for opportunities to be flexible and agile in financial management processes.
Small business owners need to acknowledge the fact that adopting financial tools doesn't necessarily mean scaling down the role of an accountant, but in truth it enhances the productivity of the accountant.
When asked why they needed to spend more time with financial management now vs when they started up, around92% of them have cited business expansion as the reason for getting their finances in shape. Some other reasons cited are more invoicing (71%), aggressive marketing (64%), and more customers than expected (63%).
54% of business owners felt that the first year of operations was the most difficult because they did not invest in financial management. The majority said they eventually had to invest time in understanding the financials of a larger, more complex business.

29 Marilyn Monroe Facts About Her Life and Career
Posted on July 15, 2019 August 20, 2019 by Laura Bowery
Our Marilyn Monroe themed hotel room is one of our most popular rooms at Arthouse Hotel. So we're celebrating the star with some magical, mysterious and memorable Marilyn Monroe facts.
Monroe was a pinup icon and went on to become one of Hollywood's most famous actresses. Long before the days of social media, the press were fixated on unraveling who she was and fans followed her every move.
But behind the scenes, Norma Jeane Mortenson was humble, shy and longed to start a family of her own. Though she's best-remembered for her looks and charisma, Marilyn was also kind-hearted and politically engaged before her time.
29 Marilyn Monroe Facts
So, to celebrate the fascinating life of the 1950s icon, we've compiled a collection of our favourite Marilyn Monroe facts and iconic 'Marilyn moments'…
1) Marilyn loved to read literature
Marilyn Monroe owned an extensive library of literature and was an avid reader. Often photographed enjoying a good book, some of Monroe's favourites included The Fall by Albert Camus and Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises.
2) Marilyn Monroe was just a stage name
Source: Wiki Commons
Marilyn's real name was Norma Jaeane Mortenson, as documented on her birth certificate. Ben Lyon, Head of New Talent at Fox Studios helped a young and ambitious Norma Jeane to create a stage name.
Lyon told her "you are to me a Marilyn", referencing Marilyn Miller, a fellow actress who'd starred in musicals in New York. Norma opted for her grandmother's last name, Monroe. And the rest is history!
3) Monroe loved to wear Chanel No.5
If you've ever wondered what Marilyn Monroe's scent of choice was, look no further than Chanel's first and most timeless perfume. In an interview in 1952, Marilyn Monroe said that she wore "five drops of Chanel No. 5" and nothing else in bed. "I don't want to say nude," she said, "but it's the truth."
4) She married her first husband at 16
Before the bright lights of Hollywood swept up a young Norma Jean, James Dougherty married the pretty teenager when she was just 16.
"We decided to get married to prevent her from going back to a foster home," Dougherty later said, "but we were in love. I never knew Marilyn Monroe, and I don't claim to have any insights to her to this day," Dougherty told United Press International in 1990. "I knew and loved Norma Jean."
5) Marilyn was underpaid for her work
In comparison to her fellow leading ladies of the era, Marilyn Monroe was overworked and underpaid. Elizabeth Taylor was paid one million dollars for Cleopatra, while Monroe earned just $100,000 for Something's Gotta Give. Jane Russell, Marilyn's co-star in Gentleman Prefer Blondes was also paid over ten times the amount that Marilyn earned.
6) Marilyn married playwright Arthur Miller
In 1956, Marilyn married playwright, author and screenwriter, Arthur Miller. The turbulent relationship proved controversial once in the public eye and many speculated that Miller was using Marilyn as a creative muse.
Though their relationship ended in heartache, Miller went on to write:
"She was a whirling light to me then, all paradox and enticing mystery, street-tough one moment, then lifted by a lyrical and poetic sensitivity that few retain past early adolescence."
7) Marilyn opposed segregation laws
In the 1950s, segregation laws were still very much in force. This meant American jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald struggled to reach the audience she needed to really launch her career.
Marilyn used her platform to help Ella land gigs around Los Angeles, promising management that she would sit in the front row of her shows for a week!
8) Monroe was definitely a 'dog person'
Throughout her life, Marilyn owned several dogs. As a child, she had a dog called Tippy, and her last four-legged friend was Maf, a Maletese terrier gifted to her by none other than Frank Sinatra!
9) She entertained army troops
In the February of 1954, thousands of troops gazed up at Marilyn Monroe, who illuminated the stage with ten shows during her visit to Korea. Ted Sherman, who served in the Navy during World War II and Korea, recalled: 'The movie star was at her glamorous best when she performed ten USO shows in four days for U.S. soldiers, airmen, Marines and sailors during the Korean War in early 1954."
Sherman added:
"It was a great evening for all the homesick guys who were dazzled by the movie star's performance. The sight and sounds of Marilyn singing "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" is a memory I still cherish."
10) Marilyn married Joe DiMaggio
Marilyn Monroe and "Yankee Clipper" Joe DiMaggio shared a whirlwind romance, marrying in 1954 and splitting just nine months later. DiMaggio's love for Monroe lasted far longer than their marriage survived. Remaining friends until the end, DiMaggio had roses delivered to Marilyn's crypt three times a week for 20 years.
11) She was notorious for always being late
Nobody's perfect…and when it came to timekeeping, Marilyn's certainly wasn't up to scratch. The star was often known to be running late, much to the frustration of her coworkers.
12) Marilyn was involved with the Kennedys
Though it is still a subject of debate, many believe that Marilyn Monroe had been romantically involved with both President John. F. Kennedy and his brother, Robert Kennedy.
One of Marilyn's biographers, James Spada told People magazine, "it was clear Marilyn had sexual relations with both Bobby and Jack. "
13) Marilyn longed to have children
Sadly, Marilyn suffered several miscarriages during the life. But the star longed for children of her own. This was clear from the close relationships she maintained with her stepchildren from her marriages to Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio.
14) And she was very intelligent
Though the "blonde bombshell" stereotype seemed to coincide with being a "dumb blonde", this was far from the case. Marilyn had an IQ of 168.
15) Hugh Hefner is buried next to her
One of the more bizarre Marilyn Monroe facts out there is that Playboy founder Hugh Hefner bought the burial spot next to Marilyn Monroe in 1992. Starring on the cover of the first issue in 1953, Marilyn helped to shape the magazine into the renowned publication it became.
16) She struggled with her weight
Though Monroe's hourglass shape continues to inspire ladies to embrace their natural shape, Marilyn's weight fluctuated throughout her career. Her weight changed so dramatically during the filming of The Prince and the Showgirl that Beatrice Dawson, the costume designer for the film said: "I have two ulcers from this film, and they're both monogrammed MM."
17) Marilyn was close to Frank Sinatra
Hollywood duo Marilyn Monroe and crooning legend Frank Sinatra maintained a friendship over a number of years, with many stories detailing a close romance between the pair. Supposedly in 1961, Marilyn and Sinatra embarked on an intimate relationship, lasting several months.
James Kaplan's account of their relationship claims that Sinatra asked Monroe to stay with him at his Lake Tahoe resort, in a final attempt to win over the actress and protect her from the darker sides to fame. It's also thought that Sinatra expressed his desires to marry Marilyn, but she declined his proposal.
Following Marilyn's death, Joe DiMaggio turned Sinatra away from her funeral. The former friends had become rivals, with speculations that Marilyn and Joe had rekindled their romance prior to her passing away.
18) She shared out her estate
Marilyn's estate was valued at $1.6 million when she died in 1962. She left 75% of that estate to her acting coach, Lee Strasberg and 25% to her psychoanalyst, Dr. Marianne Kris. Marilyn also left a trust fun for her mother that was worth $5,000 a year.
19) Happy Birthday, Mr President
Need we say more? This iconic occasion saw Marilyn perform a breathy rendition of 'Happy Birthday' for President John F Kennedy. Her controversial delivery and dazzling rhinestone dress sent the press into a frenzy!
Of course, this performance only fuelled more rumours that Marilyn and JFK were having an affair. It was reported that Jack had told Marilyn he would leave his family for her, and Monroe had said to her friend Jeanne Carmen, "Can't you just see me as first lady?".
20) Marilyn was a fan of yoga
Decades before yoga became an Instagram trend, Monroe was a fan of practicing yoga. She was taught by Bollywood film star Indra Devi, who also taught Greta Garbo and Gloria Swanson.
21) She also enjoyed lifting weights!
Marilyn began to lift weights while she was on Catalina Island with her first husband. It's said that she studied weightlifting with Howard Corrington, a former Olympic champion.
In 1952, Pageant magazine published a feature on Marilyn's exercise routine and famous figure. Marilyn shared:
"I spend at least 10 minutes each morning working out with small weights. I have evolved my own exercises, for the muscles I wish to keep firm, and I know they are right for me because I can feel them putting the proper muscles into play as I exercise."
22) 'Candle in the Wind' is about Marilyn
Elton John's 1973 hit Candle in the Wind was inspired by Marilyn, and even references her birth name, Norma Jeane. The song empathises with Marilyn's struggles, particularly the way in which the press harrassed her.
23) Marilyn's house had been bugged
Following Marilyn's death, actress Veronica Hamel bought Monroe's former home. Supposedly, when Hamel was renovating the house she found a system of wire-taps. It was later confirmed by PI Fred Otash that Marilyn's house had been bugged by the FBI and CIA.
24) Britney Spears has Marilyn's jeans
One of our favourite Marilyn Monroe facts features another female icon. Britney Spears, the original pop princess was given Marilyn Monroe's jeans from River of No Return by Tommy Hilfiger, who purchased them for $37,000!
25) The 'Marilyn Monroe Moment'….
Arguably the most famous 'Marilyn Monroe Moment' is this scene from The Seven Year Inch. The famous fluttering dress saw the phrase 'Marilyn Monroe Moment' become a pop culture reference.
26) Mariah Carey bought Marilyn's Piano
Mariah Carey purchased Marilyn Monroe's baby grand piano in an auction in 1999.
27) She thought of Clark Gable as a Father
Sadly, Marilyn Monroe never knew who her father was, but grew up dreaming that Gable was her father.
When the pair became co-stars in The Misfits, she began to see her co-star as a father figure, and was heartbroken when Gable passed away.
28) Monroe Was Inspired by Abraham Lincoln
Another inspiration in Marilyn's life was none other than Abraham Lincoln. The star read everything she could about him and wrote in her autobiography:
"He was the only famous American who seemed most like me, at least in his childhood."
29) The Conspiracies around Marilyn Monroe
When Marilyn sadly passed away, her death was ruled a "probable suicide." However, the deputy coroner dealing with her death was unable to obtain all of the necessary organs for toxicology tests. He was told they'd been destroyed.
This spurred on an array of conspiracies around Marilyn's death. One theory suggests that Marilyn was murdered because she was set to reveal the details of her affairs with the Kennedy brothers. But of course, this is just a theory, and we'll probably never know for certain.

15 Memorable Gavin and Stacey Quotes and Funny Moments
Posted on May 28, 2019 May 29, 2019 by Laura Bowery
Without a doubt some of the best news of 2019, James Corden took to social media today to announce that Gavin and Stacey will be returning with a long-awaited Christmas special!
Gavin and Stacey Quotes and Moments
The cosy British sitcom is one of our favourite feel-good shows, and to celebrate its upcoming return, we thought we'd take a look back at 15 memorable Gavin and Stacey quotes and hilarious moments.
1) "I have had some wines"
From her witty one-liners to bickering with Mick, Pam is one of the best characters in Gavin and Stacey. And when it comes to drinking wine, we can definitely relate. She wasn't drunk, drunk. Just had some wines…
2) The OG Carpool Karaoke
Long before The Late Late Show brought the world carpool karaoke, James Corden took to the road as Smithy to belt out one of our favourite Christmas songs. This memorable Gavin and Stacey moment never fails to put a smile on our faces. Fingers crossed the next Gavin and Stacey Christmas special is just as good!
3) The Indian Takeway Dilemma
A scene that perfectly captures a British night in, we'll never get tired of Smithy's frustrations while ordering an Indian takeaway. Chicken bhuana, lamb bhuana, prawn bhuana, mushroom rice, bag of chips, keema naan and nine poppadums…
"What is it about a group of people orderin' an Indian or Chinese, that it's somehow unexpectable to eat your own food that you order yourself?".
4) Islands in the Stream
A scene that needs little introduction, never forget this iconic performance of Islands in the Stream. Is there a better duo than Nessa and Bryn? We don't think so.
5) Mick's Big TV appearance
A hilarious anti-climax and one of our favourite Gavin and Stacey quotes is from Mick's appearance on TV. The Shipmans had popped open a bottle and invited round the neighbours for the big occasion…but it wasn't quite what they'd been hoping for.
"It's the last thing you expect to find when you come to work in the morning."
6) Bryn Singing James Blunt
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend…
7) Nessa as Father Christmas
Nessa as Father Christmas is another of our favourite Gavin and Stacey quotes and moments. Quick to shatter any dreams of luxury Christmas gifts, we're sure the children of Barry are still recovering now.
"Oh. Oh. Oh."
8) Smithy Being Dramatic
It's safe to say that when it comes to drama, Smithy is the expert. From being heartbroken by Gavin's honeymoon, to this memorable moment, Smithy was never one to look on the bright side…
9) Pam Getting Caught Out
After a panicking Pam pretended she was vegetarian, she found the lie very hard to keep up. One of our favourite Gavin and Stacey moments is Pam getting caught eating ham…to nobody's surprise!
10) Smithy's Big Entrance
Always one to make an entrance, another of the most memorable Gavin and Stacey moments is Smithy's big entrance with his football chant. So good that even Mick and Pam join in!
11) Nessa and Smithy's 'Moment'
The unconventional love story of Nessa and Smithy is something we're hoping will feature in this year's Gavin and Stacey Christmas special. This adorably awkward 'moment' is one of our favourite scenes, and a testament to just how well James Corden and Ruth work together.
12) Smithy's Wedding 'Toast'
One of the best (and worst) wedding speeches to ever grace our TV screens. "I'd like to raise a toast"…*weeps on table*
13) Bryn's Holiday T-Shirt
A prime example of why Uncle Bryn is so lovable. This well-rehearsed joke had "mixed reviews".
14) Gavin Surprising Stacey
Back to where it all began with this heartwarming scene from the first episode of Gavin and Stacey. If Gavin hadn't followed Stacey all the way back to Barry, where would we be now?
15) Pam Loving the Drama
Another relatable Pam moment and one of the most quoted Gavin and Stacey quotes. It's safe to say that we're this excited for the upcoming Gavin and Stacey Christmas special!

Rocky Horror Picture Show at FACT & Stay for Halloween in Liverpool
Posted on October 1, 2018 by Laura Bowery
We would like, if we may, to take you on a strange journey this Halloween in Liverpool with a stay in our Rocky Horror themed hotel room after a viewing of the hit cult movie at FACT cinema just across the road.
Rocky Horror has a following of fans who love nothing more than to dress up in full costume when attending special screenings of the movie. Since 1975, scores of people have donned fishnets, sequin top hats, maids' outfits and butler suits to portray the colourful cast of Rocky Horror.
This Halloween in Liverpool why not book a night at Arthouse Hotel and stay in the Rocky Horror Suite after watching the Rocky Horror Movie being screened at FACT film cinema.
Here are some Rocky Horror themed Halloween fancy dress ideas to get you and your party looking the part.
Dr Frank-N-Furter
A mad scientist transvestite from Transsexual Transylvania, Frank-N-Furter has been trying to create the perfect man for his own enjoyment.
He's come to earth to find playthings for his amusement and brought two "loyal" servants along for the ride.
Frank-N-Furter's outfit consists of suspenders, a corset, fishnets and occasionally a Dr's gown and gloves. His makeup is heavy, and he has an old-school Boss tattoo on his right bicep.
Newly married straight-laced Brad Majors is driving through the woods after attending a wedding of friends with his fiancé, Janet.
source: Template
The car gets a flat and this leads the couple to ask for help at "The Old Frankenstein Place". When they arrive, they seem to disturb a huge party and instantly want to find a phone to call for help then leave.
Brad's costume is simply a beige windbreaker, slacks, white shirt and thick-rimmed glasses.
Brad's fiancé, Janet Wiess is a timid and frightened girly girl who depends entirely on Brad to protect her.
source: Play Buzz
When arriving soaking wet at the mansion, Janet insists on leaving as she can tell something is not quite right.
Janet's outfit is again a simple pink dress, blue cardigan and curled blond hair and plain/no make-up.
The Butler of the mansion and fellow Transylvanian, Riff Raff is an alien life form who came with Frank-N-Furter to aid him in his human experiments.
Riff Raff has other plans and seems to hate being on earth, wishing to return home he eventually stages a mutiny against Frank-N-Furter.
To dress as Riff Raff for Halloween in Liverpool you would need a hunchback, frayed suit with tail coat and bald cap wig.
Sister of Riff Raff and alien from Transsexual Transylvania, Magenta plays the maid of the household but again is really serving as Frank-N-Furter's aid.
She assists in the lab giving life to Frank-N-Furter's "perfect man creation" but eventually tires of life on earth wanting to go home Magenta helps Riff Raff with a mutiny against Frank.
Her costume is a maid's outfit, wild hair and dark red lipstick.
One of the more colourful characters in Rocky Horror, Columbia is a human who was recruited by Frank-N-Furter as first a lover and then an assistant when she was replaced by Eddie, a pizza delivery boy.
Eddie and Columbia eventually fell in love which angered Frank-N-Furter causing him to lock Eddie in a freezer.
Columbia's costume is elaborately decorated sequin covered hot pants waistcoat and tails with a full sequin top hat to match. Her flame red slicked back hair and winged eye make up complete the look.
The creation of Frank-N-Furter, Rocky is to be considered the perfect man, made from half of the pizza boy Eddies Brain and the "genius" of Frank-N-Furter.
Rocky was purely created for Frank-N-Furters amusement and things go bad when Rocky is seduced by Janet.
To dress as Rocky for Halloweeen is not for the fainthearted and is basically gold hotpants, boots . . . and not much else but a shock of white-blond hair. A bit chilly for October perhaps but a fabulous fancy-dress idea for Halloween.
The frozen and forgotten lover of Frank-N-Furter and Columbia Eddie, a pizza delivery boy, was seduced to stay in the mansion and ended up falling for Columbia.
The relationship cost him his life as Frank-N-Furter became extremely jealous and locked him in a freezer.
During Rocky's unveiling, Eddie breaks free of the freezer and causes chaos in the lab, scooping up Columbia and riding around on his motorcycle.
Eddie's outfit is almost like a dead Elvis clad in denim and carrying a saxophone, the all-important scar across the forehead is where Frank-N-Furter removed half his brain.
The Guests
In other movie screenings all over the world, people have come to the movie dressed as the guests of the mansion, gathered to see the unveiling of Frank-N-Furter's creation.
Their outfits are mainly tuxes with whacky wigs, big sunglasses, gloves, top hats and pops of colour.
The Rocky Horror Room at Arthouse Hotel
After watching the movie screening at FACT cinema this Halloween in Liverpool enjoy a night out in the nearby bars and clubs of Seel Street. There's plenty of places that welcome fancy dress in Liverpool and all are within a short walking distance of Arthouse Hotel.
The Rocky Horror room can sleep up to six guests in comfy double beds and has an opulent ensuite bathroom complete with rouge red tiling and walk-in shower.
The ceiling is adorned with the ruby red lips from the credits of the movie, which just so happen to be the lips of Magenta (a little known Rocky Horror fact) alongside the lyrics to the opening song "Science Fiction Double Feature".
Between the fancy dress ideas for Halloween in Liverpool, the Rocky Horror movie at FACT and a night out on the town in the city's most popular bars and clubs you'll be sure to have an unforgettable Rocky Horror themed Halloween night ou this year.

Themed Hotel Rooms & Unknown Movie Facts: My Fair Lady
Posted on July 17, 2018 July 17, 2018 by Laura Bowery
My Fair Lady is one of the most beloved musicals of all time and the inspiration behind one of the musical movie themed hotel rooms at Arthouse Hotel.
Filmed in 1964 with an all-star cast including Rex Harrison who played Higgins, a phonetics professor with a rather large ego and Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle, a working-class girl from the bustling city of London.
The story goes that Higgin's believes in his coaching abilities so much he can tutor the cockney twang out of Eliza and therefore make her a well-spoken upstanding member of society.
The two form an unlikely relationship and eventually fall in love, despite social differences and the interference of aristocratic suitor, Freddie, played by Jeremey Brett.
The movie served as inspiration for one of our musical movie themed hotel rooms and the My Fair Lady room at Arthouse Hotel is simply Loverly.
Check out some of the lesser-known facts behind the creation of My Fair Lady the movie, its origins and some of the famous cast members below.
Award Winning Performances
My Fair Lady was released to critical acclaim winning a grand total of 8 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director.
Diva Behaviour
Renowned for her gracious caring attitude, Audrey Hepburn displayed slightly diva-esque behaviour when she was informed her singing voice would be dubbed. She walked offset in a huff, only to return the following day and apologise to everyone who she had offended.
Age is Only a Number
Middle-aged adults playing high school children was a thing way before 90210 and Dawson's Creek.
source: Screener TV
Eliza Doolittle was only supposed to be 19 in My Fair Lady but Audrey Hepburn was a fantastic looking 35 years old during filming.
Star-Studded Recommendations
Hollywood isn't wasn't the cutthroat industry that it's made out to be today. Cary Grant was approached to play Rex Higgins but he turned the role down knowing he wasn't right for the it.
Instead, he strongly recommended Rex Harrison for the part and said if he wasn't cast he wouldn't even go and see the movie.
Another Role Rejection
Dame Julie Andrews played Eliza Doolittle on stage, just 19 at the time and at the beginning of what would become a blossoming film career.
She refused the role in the movie as she was also up for the part of Mary Poppins and didn't want the two to conflict.
Delaying Walt Disney
Hoping to boost the career of now Dame Julie Andrews, the wonderful man Walt Disney offered to delay filming Mary Poppins until summer 1964 so she could take on the role of Eliza Doolittle as well.
On Set Interference
The dashing neckties that Higgins wore throughout filming were where crew and costume had stashed Rex Harrington's microphone.
Occasionally the device would pick up radio conversations from passing police cars reporting crimes or updating criminal pursuits.
A Hidden Talent
Despite being a member of the Eton College choir and being known for his excellent singing voice, directors chose to dub the vocal talents of actor Jeremy Brett who played the besotted Freddie Eynsford-Hill.
His songs were sung instead by a 43-year-old Bill Shirley.
A Very Different Type Of Fair Lady
If we could imagine another in the role of Eliza Doolittle first thoughts do go to Julie Andrews. However, by the time filming came around Andrews was immersed in work with Disney so, if Audrey Hepburn had not accepted the role a third actress was in line.
Super starlet Elizabeth Taylor is said to have coveted the job although its very hard to imagine Ms Taylor playing a common working class cockney don't you agree?
Devastating News on Set
The 60s was a decade rife with iconic moments in history, one of which was the shocking assassination of JFK.
Announcing the tragedy to cast and crew fell to Audrey Hepburn after she'd filmed the most famous song number of the My Fair Lady movie "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?".
Setting The Perfect Scene
Thanks to the large budget given to the movie, set designers were extra creative with their work which eliminated the need to film outside.
Instead, every scene in My Fair Lady was shot on the sound stages of Hollywood studios.
Childish Inspiration
When it came to naming the movie, directors struggled and at first settled on Lady Liza but because of protests from Rex Harrison, the title was changed.
The inspiration for the new title was the traditional children's nursery rhyme "London Bridge is falling down, My Fair Lady."
An Arresting Beauty
Audrey Hepburn is without a doubt one of the most naturally beautiful women to ever have graced our screens.
It comes as little surprise that when she entered the set in full costume for the ballroom scene, the room fell silent then cast and crew began to applaud, cheer and even shed tears at how stunning she looked.
Blowing The Budget
In the 60s, production companies were spending huge sums of money on making movies.
Only the year before My Fair Lady was made, Cleopatra at 20TH Century Fox had racked up a bill of $35 million, roughly translated to around £350 million today.
My Fair Lady came in at just $17 million, and despite being half the cost of Cleopatra, it was still the most expensive movie made by Warner Bros at the time.
Precious Creations
Again thanks to the huge sums of money at their disposal directors hired the exceptionally skilled Cecil Beaton to design the 1500 elaborate costumes for the cast.
His work including the stunning beaded ballgown and monochrome lace Ascot dress for Eliza Doolittle's character all of which earned him the Academy Award for Best Costume Design.
Beaton's work was so exquisite, and expensive, that the studio hired amusement park trams to transport the clothed cast to and from set to avoid damages and dirt.
Costs Vs Profits
Despite costing Warner Bros under half of what Cleopatra cost Fox, My Fair Lady has grossed $20 million more in profits overall.
In fact, My Fair Lady even made it into the top 100 highest ranking films of all time.
We all assume that Audrey Hepburn was the picture of health, but she had a nasty habit.
Hepburn smoked around three packs of cigarettes a day, much to the displeasure of Rex Harrison who had recently given up before filming started.
Wouldn't It Be Larvly . . . Loverly . . . Laverly?
A cockney accent isn't the easiest to replicate, especially not for California born soprano, Marni Nixon.
She had to continuously practice the cockney singing accent when she provided the vocals for Eliza Doolittle.
A feat that earned her the title "Ghostess with the Mostest" as audiences would never see the face behind the amazing talent.
A Mouth Full of Marbles . . . or were they?
Health and safety was still a thing in the 60s so instead of popping a potential choking hazard into the mouth of Audrey Hepburn during Higgins' eloquencey lessons, grapes were used in place of marbles.
Founded in Greek Mythology
My Fair Lady was based on a play about a mythological ancient Greek sculptor named Pygmalion who created what he considered to be the ideal women out of stone.
The story goes that once the statue was created Pygmalion fell in love with it and on the day of Aphrodite's festival he wished for a wife to be a living likeness of the woman he'd carved. When he kissed the statue's lips the woman came to life and married Pygmalion.
My Fair Lady's Higgin's is the present day equivalent of Pygmalion, fashioning his ideal women out of Eliza.
A Musical Without Singers
Today musicals are usually filled with the biggest and brightest stars in musical movie making. If you can't sing you aren't cast or in the case of Russell Crow in Les Miserable, you sing anyway and get mocked for it.
In the early day's famous faces were favoured over fantastic voices and therefore musical movies were heavily dubbed. The entire cast, with the exception of Stanley Holloway who played Eliza's father Alfred had their singing voices dubbed, why wasn't Russell Crowe dubbed we here you ask? The answer, we just don't know!
The Dead Penguin Play Mascot
Before My Fair Lady was a film it was a stage play with Rex Harrison still in the role of Higgins.
Apparently, Rex admired the work of the Pygmalion writer Shaw so much that he often referred to a Penguin edition of the play's script. Whenever things didn't seem right with the dialogue Rex would bark to stagehands;
"Where's my Penguin"
After a while, this became a regular command and the crew and directors decided it was time to put a stop to it.
So, one day when Rex gave his usual command a stuffed Penguin was rolled out onto stage instead of his script. The entire cast and crew roared with laughter including Rex Harrison who never asked for his Penguin again.
And finally . . .
The Rain In Spain Does Not Stay Mainly In The Plain, in fact, it rains mostly in the northern hills and mountains of Spain, the plains in the south see very little rain at all.

Bard of Britain
Modern British television has found its Dickens
Along with his acclaimed social realism, Jack Thorne has a sideline in fantasy
Books & artsJun 29th 2019 edition
JACK THORNE'S phone flashes with messages and alerts; he turns it face-down, swearing under his breath. With five BAFTAs, an Olivier and a Tony award to his name, Mr Thorne is Britain's most sought-after scriptwriter. He is juggling several projects at once: his new play is in rehearsal ahead of its premiere at the Royal Court theatre in London on June 27th, while three television series that he wrote are in production. He is becoming to modern British TV what Charles Dickens was to the Victorian novel—a chronicler of the country's untold stories and social ills, and the domestic dramas that encapsulate them.
Much of Mr Thorne's work is concerned with the challenges faced by ordinary Britons. The main character in "When You Cure Me", his first major stage play, was a young woman incapacitated after a brutal sexual assault. Elsewhere he has written about the impact of local-council cuts, a couple mourning a stillborn child and the creation of a community playground out of scrap materials. His new play, "the end of history...", is about tensions between the generations. Mr Thorne says it both "celebrates and castigates" baby-boomers.
A keen interest in the travails of Everyman has defined his television career, too. It began in 2007 on the writing team of "Shameless", a black comedy set in a working-class area of Manchester, and "Skins" (2007-09), a grim teen drama set in his home town of Bristol. He collaborated with Shane Meadows on the three seasons of "This is England" (2010-15), about skinhead, mod and rave subcultures in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and more recently on "The Virtues" (2019), which follows a man coming to terms with childhood abuse.
His biggest solo project to date came about when Channel 4 asked him to write a trilogy of shows about modern Britain. "National Treasure" (2016) was inspired by Operation Yewtree, a police investigation into sexual misconduct by media personalities; the smash hit "Kiri" (2018) explored transracial adoption. Caroline Hollick, the channel's head of drama, praises the balance in Mr Thorne's writing between brutal honesty and warmth, even humour: "That's why he can dig into these huge state-of-the-nation ideas and make them so appealing to watch." The trilogy's final instalment will be a mini-series about corporate manslaughter, which will draw on real-life incidents including the Grenfell Tower fire of 2017.
Mr Thorne, who is 40, tends to anchor his stories in families (sometimes unconventional ones), scrutinising the relationships between siblings or between parents and their children. These families have a veneer of unity but, underneath, they tend to be fractured by lies and betrayals. Much is left unsaid. In "National Treasure" Dee (Andrea Riseborough) wonders whether her drug-addiction and memory loss is linked to the predatory behaviour of which her father is accused. In "The Virtues", to mask his slide back into the bottle, Joseph (Stephen Graham, pictured left) spins a story about a workplace accident to his son. Mr Graham, who also starred in "This is England", reckons that "no one catches truth and reality the way Jack does". Mr Thorne's shows do "more than make you look at pretty pictures," Mr Graham says; they come "into your living room and make you think".
Other threads knit the writer's disparate subjects into a coherent oeuvre. Many of his stories feature loss or violence, exploring how such experiences calcify into trauma; several of his characters are dependent on booze or sex. He is an acute observer of nuances of affluence and class, that eternal British theme. Typically, Mr Thorne avoids the temptation to provide easy moralising and neat conclusions, considering those unrealistic and therefore dishonest. He says he wants his work to lead "to people asking questions rather than giving them answers".
That interrogatory bent is, he thinks, why he enjoys another, contrasting genre, which he has honed alongside the social realism: fantasy. That is also a means to ask "fascinating questions about the world", he says. "The Fades", a supernatural drama broadcast in 2011, which followed two nerdy teenagers battling the evil spirits of the dead, was really about pacifism, Mr Thorne suggests. A few years ago he adapted Dickens's moralistic ghost story "A Christmas Carol" for the stage.
He also wrote the script for "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child", based on an original tale by J.K. Rowling. The play won more Olivier awards (Britain's most prestigious theatrical gongs) than any previous West End production. He wanted it to capture the predicament of outsiders; it follows Albus Severus Potter, Harry's son, as he is bullied at Hogwarts and struggles to live up to his father's legacy. And he has adapted Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" for a forthcoming serialisation. Lyra, the protagonist, struggles to assert her free will in the face of unpleasant parents, while trying to set the world to rights.
Harry Potter and the state of the nation
Perhaps inevitably, details from Mr Thorne's own life have found their way into his locations, scenes and characters. For "the end of history...", his most personal piece of writing to date, he mined his childhood in a politically active household where—like some of his creations—he felt he was constantly falling short of his parents' ideals and expectations. His father, a union representative, took him and his siblings to rallies and protests from an early age; Mr Thorne has been a member of the Labour Party since he was 16.
"My politics are very important to me," he acknowledges. He resists the seepage of those views into his work, but all the same they "infect the stories I tell". He dislikes speechifying, but says that, as he writes, he constantly questions "what right we have to try and change the world and how we can, if indeed we can". A motto is tattooed on the inside of his wrist: "Be good".

Breaking Current Affairs Features News
Twitter roasts pro-weapon America with "feral hog" memes after gun debate
Breaking,Current Affairs,Features,News
WRITTEN BY Claire Farquhar / Edited BY Claudia Siron
Earlier this week, America made global headlines yet again for two horrific mass shootings in one weekend, in Ohio and Texas. 31 people were killed, and some truly tragic tales of the event have surfaced, including a man and a woman who died sheltering their young baby from the gunfire.
The weekend's gun violence has reignited the debate on America's second amendment. Despite pleads from the likes of Barack Obama and other public figures for stricter gun laws, given that mass shootings in the country are literally a consistent force, there's a bizarre cohort of American citizens who are convinced that stringent gun laws are a bad idea – because guns don't cause gun violence, video games do (cringe). Let's forget systemic racism, white supremism and toxic masculinity exist, shall we?
Twitter's "feral hog" trend began when Jason Isbell, a country music singer, tweeted in support of enacting stronger gun control legislation:
A classic American dad joined the debate, responding to Jason Isbell with a "legit question" (and I really, really wish this was a joke):
This has got to be the strangest argument we've heard against gun control, and yet it's spawned the 'feral hog trend', generating some 50 000 posts on Twitter containing the term.
Owing to the ridiculousness of the Tweet and the bizarre mental image of a flock of '30-50 feral hogs' lopping into a yard where a couple of toddlers are eating dirt beside a sandpit for '3-5 mins', and an all-American white dad chasing after the pigs with a shotgun (dude, invest in a good fence or take your tots inside and call officials – which is the recommended course of action), the Tweet has taken off. It's been reiterated into some juicy memes, and we've compiled some of the best.
It turns out that feral hogs are a genuine cause for concern in parts of the United States. They're said to be a "destructive" and "invasive animal" that cost the US some $1.5 billion each year. The question is, which is more of a threat to American civilians, Mr McNabb – feral hogs, or gun violence?
McNabb, a self-proclaimed libertarian according to his Twitter bio, has received some sassy replies to his original tweet in addition to the memes that do nothing less than mock the shit out of him:
via Know Your Meme
While the hashtag is a fun way to mock those who fight against gun control to protect actual people, we must remember the context behind it, and not forget those innocent people so violently killed at the hands of a shooter, and continue pushing for the positive change America needs: effective gun control legislation.

Benedict Cumberbatch Says 'Doctor Strange 2' Is "Very Busy" and "bonkers"
SongdepDecember 5, 2021
After Spider-Man: There's no way home breaking the door to the multiverse in a few weeks, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to delve into other universes out there in the spring. So far, Marvel has kept the sequel to the Sorcerer Supreme's 2016 origin film under wraps, so we barely know what to expect from it. However, according to the latest comment from star Benedict Cumberbatch, it could be the end NWH Basic look by comparison.
While talking about WTF with Marc Maron podcasts, Avengers: Infinity War The star has been a little less defensive than usual when it comes to the upcoming film. Cumberbatch labeled the sequel "bonkers", as much as he did in other places, but this time he also called it "very busy" and voiced concerns about whether his mystical hero will actually have a main character in this film. Here is the relevant exchange:
Benedict Cumberbatch: This is his second one alone.
Marc Maron: This is your movie.
Cumberbatch: Well, yes, that's part of the problem. There's a lot going on in there. It's like, "I have a character arc in this? Does it work?" There's a lot of great stuff for me to do in there. It's busy. It's called. Multiverse of madness and those are the people who like to steal.
MORE FROM THE WEB
We clearly know that Doctor Strange 2 would be an extremely ambitious and populous film, perhaps on par with Avengers flickers, but was a little nervous to hear Cumberbatch describe it as "very busy", which suggests a lack of focus and a lengthy plot. Similarly, it's worrisome that the actor isn't sure the film stems from Strange himself and his journey.
However, before focusing on this issue, perhaps we should remember that DS2 To be currently in the process of rebooting. After that, the movie is still coming together, so it's clear Cumberbatch might not be clear on how it will all come together. As much as the cast of Infinity War and Endgame felt, and those two examples turned out to be more than OK. Director Sam Raimi has a lot on his plate, but hopefully, he'll be able to make something very special out of it.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will launch on May 6, 2022.

Mexican Dough Spinner Claims Title of World's Best Pizza Acrobat
Juan Hermosillo
People from across the globe sent in their video submissions to be considered for the lofty title of best pizza dough spinner in the world. But there can be only one…
The United States Pizza Team (USPT) hosted the '21 Virtual Acrobatic Pizza Spinning Championship (VAPSC) earlier this month. Responding to the USPT's call internationally over social media, competitors across the world sent in their three-minute video routines, set to a song of their choice, to be evaluated by a panel of qualified judges in the pizza restaurant industry.
With $3,000 in cash prizes on the line, only the best of the best would proceed. Seven finalists were selected from all entries. Their routines were judged live on the USPT Facebook page and website (uspizzateam.com). Competitors were judged on five categories, with each one being worth ten points, for a total of 50 points from each judge. The categories were Difficulty; Dexterity/Handwork; Technique/Originality; Power Moves/Combos; and Entertainment Value. All competitors were required to use real dough with a point deduction for using synthetic dough.
Even with that caveat, the scores were close, with first place being eked out by only half a point. Pizza spinning veteran Juan Hermosillo of La Pizza Voladora in Coyoacán, Mexico, emerged as the winner with 134 points. Hermosillo wowed the judges with his agility and physicality and an array of dancing and power moves. Second place went to Nathan Wilson of Six Hundred Downtown in Bellefontaine, Ohio, with 133.5 points. Wilson's routine showed real flair in terms of choreography and spinning, all while keeping that dough twirling the whole time. He also demonstrated a great mastery of his music crescendos and cues.
Michael Testa
Third place was taken by Michael Testa of Jersey Pizza Boys in Avenel, New Jersey, with 122 points. At the age of 16, Testa was the youngest competitor, but he has been spinning for over a decade. Starting at an early age, he has steadily improved his repertoire and is now competing on the same level as some of the industry greats.
The first-place winner received $1,500, with second and third places receiving $1,000 and $500, respectively. Other finalists included Giuseppe Montuori, Jersey Pizza Boys, Avenel, NJ; Pablo Gil, Pizzeria Lorena, Paraná, Argentina; Matt Hickey, Pizzeria Davide – Strip District, Pittsburgh, PA; and Luigi Primo, Party World Rasslin', Austin, TX.
To view all the competitors' routines and live judging, visit www.uspizzateam.com/vapsc. The USPT competes all year-round in various culinary and acrobatic trials across the country and in international competitions.
PMQ Pizza Magazine, the business trade publication for the pizza restaurant industry, created the U.S. Pizza Team in 2000. The USPT is sponsored by Galbani, Margherita/Smithfield Culinary, Grain Craft, Real California Milk, Gordon Food Service, LaNova, MFG Tray, Burkett Restaurant Equipment and Supplies, Lillsun, Univex, Presto Foods and Throw Dough.

El Ford C (o Ford Modelo C) fue un automóvil producido en el Reino Unido por la empresa estadounidense Ford entre 1934 y 1937. El modelo también fue montado en Barcelona entre 1934 y 1936. La versión alemana, producida en Colonia en el mismo periodo recibió el nombre de Ford Eifel.

Características

El vehículo equipaba una versión más grande del motor de válvulas laterales del Ford modelo Y, con una cilindrada incrementada hasta los 1172 cc al ensanchar el diámetro de 56,6 mm a 63,5 mm, pero manteniendo su carrera en 92,5 mm. El motor estándar desarrollaba 32 cv de potencia a 4000 rpm. Este motor tuvo una larga vida, siendo instalado por diversos constructores de vehículos deportivos y por la propia Ford en otros modelos hasta 1962. La suspensión era la tradicional de Ford, con ballestas transversales y ejes rígidos delante y detrás, como era habitual en el modelo Ford T. La caja de cambios era manual de 3 velocidades.

Además de las versiones de dos y cuatro puertas, también se produjo un modelo descapotable.

La velocidad máxima alcanzada por el vehículo era de 110 km/h.

A mediados de 1935 el Modelo C recibió algunas mejoras y se comercializó con el nombre de CX.

Q: Control Masks Programmatically for Simulink block I have a problem with simulink block properties. I need to check if block has parameter with name "paramName". If this parameter is absent I need to add it.
For this I want to get mask parameters:
p = Simulink.Mask.get(blockName);

This example I get from help. But Simulink show following error:

undefined variable "Simulink" or class "Simulink.Mask.get"

What should I do for solving my problem?

A: You probably need to use get_param in combination with the DialogParameters property, e.g.:
block_params = get_param(%block_path%,`DialogParameters`);

The output block_params is a structure with all the parameters of that particular block. Replace %block_path% by the path to the block in question or use gcb for the current block. There is an example on the documentation page for get_param:

Get a Block Parameter Value and Attributes
List the block parameter
  names for the Inertia block in the Requisite Friction subsystem of the
  sldemo_clutch model.

block_params = get_param('sldemo_clutch/Friction Mode Logic/Requisite Friction/Inertia Ratio',... 'DialogParameters')

Desperate Souls by Gregory Lamberson
Posted on September 8, 2010 by Mr. Dreadful
Usually, after I finish a book, I like to let it sit and stew in my brain so I can gather my thoughts, you know, really get a grip on how I felt about it. When it comes to The Jake Helman Files I find that impossible. Read on and see why.
They're not breathing. That's why they're so still. But that's not possible . . .
Eleven months after battling Nicholas Tower and the demon Cain, Jake Helman has set up shop as a private investigator in Lower Manhattan. When a woman hires Jake to prove that her dead grandson is dealing a deadly new drug called "Black Magic" on a Brooklyn street corner, Jake uncovers a vicious drug lord's plot to use voodoo to seize control of the city.
While panic grips New York City, Jake Helman battles gun-wielding zombie assassins, hallucinations, and betrayal at every corner. But voodoo creates more terrors than zombies, and Jake finds himself poised on the edge of insanity as he fights to restore the soul of the one person he trusts.
The first chapter of this novel alone is worth every single moment of aguish that I experienced waiting for the follow up to Lamberson's first novel in The Jake Helman Files – Personal Demons. The following 27 chapters (plus epilogue) sealed the deal, leaving me utterly satisfied and yet still jonesing for the next installment. Lamberson has really outdone himself this time around, solidifying Jake Helman as one of my all-time favorite characters in horror today.
Seriously folks, cross genre fiction doesn't get better than this.
Like the previous book, it's go – go – go from the start, blending equal parts frenetic comic book style, and seasoned police procedural thriller. Lamberson delivers the goods early on, setting up characters that play beautifully against Helman, while hurrying the story along in a quick and dirty way. The way that the author blends the back story in is also remarkable, as it doesn't detract from the current read in the least. You'll feel like you already know what went down in the first book, making this one just as good as a stand alone novel. It would be my suggestion that you read the first though, as it has some incredible scenes that you really shouldn't miss.
Now, I've mentioned before that Lamberson has a way with giving the invested reader a severe emotional beat-down of sorts. That is also very much the case with this book. In fact, there was a point where I had to put the book down for a moment – the scene was so shocking and came out of nowhere. Like I said in the Frenzy Way review, when you fall in love with a character in a Lamberson story – something bad is going to happen to them. I'm going to leave it at that. If you're someone who loves Jake Helman, you're going to be in for some serious surprises here – but man is it satisfying.
The overall feel of the book is very much the same as the first. The only difference here is that Lamberson has really tweaked his story arcs, tightened up his dialogue, and really given his all to the development of every facet of the story. I wouldn't be wrong to say that this is the best piece that Lamberson has presented to his reading audience. In fact, the only bad part of the book was the blank page following the end of the story. I walked away from this book completely satisfied and ready to take on Cosmic Forces upon it's release in October 2011 – from Medallion Press.
You can read more about The Jake Helman Files at the Medallion Press website and on Lamberson's personal website. If you're looking to contact Lamberson, check him out on Facebook, Twitter, and on LiveJournal.
Lamberson and Medallion Press are hosting an interactive signing on Saturday, September 11th. The cost is $18 (the purchase of the book) and will include a chatroom and live webcam feed. He will personalize the book, and Medallion will ship it to you on Monday. Readers who take part will receive their copies of Desperate Souls 2 weeks in advance of the public. Register for the signing here.
Also, it should be noted that Audible.com has purchased the rights to both Personal Demons and Desperate Souls for audio books. As a fan of that medium, I really couldn't be more excited.

Q: domain name prefix 'www' In a domain name, mostly started with prefix 'www'.is it used like a standard? ifnot, let me know, why?

A: www stands for world wide web. Many web addresses begin with www, because of the long-standing practice of naming Internet hosts (servers) according to the services they provide.
WWW prefix

A: A FQDN starting with "www." is used, by convention, for the machine hosting the primary website for a domain.
These days, where websites are more important then they were in the early days of the Internet, it is conventional to also run a webserver on the main machine for the domain (i.e. example.com rather than www.example.com) (these are usually the same machine) and redirect from one to the other.
