UK Business Advisors (UKBA) is highlighting to property owners in SMEs that now is the ideal time to assess their freehold, or indeed leasehold, property stock for appropriate planning gain. Good yields are available on freehold acquisitions, particularly for industrial buildings and serviced business hubs. The Government is seeking to substantially reduce the volume of unnecessary documents that define National Planning Policy. In addition to reducing the time and effort that causes so much waste, the proposals will release barriers to property investment. The Department for Communities is set to ensure that new factors influence planning decisions with: · More emphasis on local communities that will have greater influence on planning decisions, as opposed to having to strictly follow national rules · A presumption in favour of sustainable development. The new policy is founded on good intentions but UKBA is concerned that it risks being delayed by objections from … [Read more...]
Removal of Time to Pay threatens the life blood of our economy
UK Business Advisors (UKBA) believes that Time to Pay has been a major help to small businesses, and is concerned that its withdrawal will threaten the survival of many small businesses, just at the time that the economy is looking to them to help pull the country out of the slump. Time to Pay is a government initiative by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) that enables businesses to spread tax payments over several stages. It has been particularly helpful to small business with smoothing out quarterly VAT payments. Three small payments are much easier to manage than one large one. However the latest HMRC stats show that the Revenue are only granting Time to Pay at a third of the level in 2009. This is because they have made it clear that they will not allow repeat applications. HMRC have now announced that they will no longer publish statistics on this important safety net, further threatening the survival of this scheme. The recent poor performance figures from HMRC appear to reflect … [Read more...]
UKBA response to Government mentoring programme
As one of the UK's leading advisors to SMEs (Small and Medium sized Enterprises), UK Business Advisors (UKBA) initially expected to register and become a core part of the new government initiative for mentoring to small business owners. Whilst it is expected that some of UKBA's mentoring specialists will join the scheme individually, having carried out a full investigation of the government's proposals, UKBA as an organisation has decided not to become part of the initiative for two main reasons. The first is that the terms of the mentoring programme are all about mentoring and specifically excludes giving any actual business advice to a business owner. Whilst non-specific personal mentoring may be of help to some business owners, in the experience of the over 100 UKBA advisors, actual practical hands–on help specific to that business is far more valuable. UKBA feels that preventing advisors providing advice is not in the best interests of businesses. The second reason for not … [Read more...]
The Bribery Act – a potential threat to SME's
Ignoring the implications of the Bribery Act, which has now come into force, could have major consequences for SME's, according to the UKBA network, a nationwide team of professional advisors. Companies need to adopt a robust policy to ensure that bribery does not take place, as doing nothing can mean jail for the directors concerned. In business there has always been legislation that could result in fines for doing nothing. Health and Safety legislation tightened the grip and transgression could result in a prison sentence if found guilty of wilful negligence. The Bribery Act 2010 received Royal Assent on the 8th April 2010 and became law on the 1st April 2011, now extending the threat of jail for doing nothing even further as failure to prevent bribery is also an offence under the act. A quick visit to the government website www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/23/contents confirms the potential threat to companies if they fail to consider the gravity of the situation. For … [Read more...]
New groups launched to help businesses in response to demand for experienced Business Advisors
Increasing demand for experienced business advisors has driven the opening of two new local groups by UK Business Advisors (UKBA). The first is based in East Anglia and is called Eastern Region Business Advisors (ERBA). The second in Yorkshire and Humberside and is called Yorks & Humber Business Advisors (YHBA). Like the existing BA groups, all their advisors are experienced business people who also run their own businesses, and are thus in a prime position to advise other Managing Directors and Owners. This demand has been emphasised in recently with the statement from BIS that they "have been repeatedly told by business owners that the advice they value most comes from other experienced business people." ** With their formation there are now 11 local UKBA groups round the UK who are focused on helping the SME sector in their particular region. These are supported by 3 other specialist groups addressing the issues of Financial Support, Business Turnaround and Manufacturing in the … [Read more...]
Is the recession over for marketing?
In 2010, the top 100 advertisers' spend on traditional media - that is, TV, outdoor, radio and magazines - grew by 13% overall to nearly £40bn, according to Marketing magazine's just released Top 100 Advertisers league table*. After two years of pessimism a total of 17 out of the top 25 advertisers increased their spend last year; in fact some brands in the telecoms and retail sectors made double-digit leaps in spend. That's the big brands but what about the SME sector? Marian Chapman, a marketing specialist in Home Counties Business Advisors (part of UK Business Advisors) said "our Advisors work with a wide range of businesses and have seen increased confidence in the SME sector, leading to a greater willingness to invest in marketing. Past recessions have led to companies virtually shutting down spend on marketing, but this time there is a better understanding that marketing is one of the very last areas you should economise on". Marian went on to say "of course it is … [Read more...]
HMRC targeting SMEs with poor records
UK Business Advisors (UKBA) understands that HMRC have carried out a random enquiry programme from which they believe that 40% of SMEs have either inadequate or poor record keeping. They issued a consultancy document in December entitled "Business records checks" with a view to implementing a programme from the middle of this year to examine the books and records of some 200,000 small businesses. They anticipate raising an additional £600m in tax over four years – an average of £3,000 per company. UKBA's own research has found many commons problems such as: · Poor evidence of expenditure such as missing key purchase invoices · No documented dividend resolutions · No minutes of key board decisions · No records in support of journal entries like bad debts or disposal of major assets · No directors service contracts in multiple-director companies · Outsourced services not contractually written down or documented. Any of these … [Read more...]
Google changes important for businesses on the web
Businesses looking for leads via search engines should be aware of the changes that Google has recently made says UK Business Advisors (UKBA). These changes affect how companies and their web sites are rated by Google which accounts for 87% of UK web searches. Google makes on average around 400 changes to its method of indexing and ranking websites every year to provide higher quality results to its users. The most significant recent change is the increasing emphasis on search results tailored to every individual user, based on what they have searched for before, and their known location. Google is increasingly focusing on returning local results which increases the importance of an optimised business listing in Google Places (formerly Google maps). Another major change Google made at the beginning of last year is to index Twitter and Facebook social media sites in near real-time. For certain combinations of words and phrases this displays Tweets and Facebook posts on page one. However … [Read more...]
Sustainability becoming more important for SMEs
Sustainability is an important issue not just in terms of global warming and carbon footprint but in all aspects of humanity's input to the environment. UK Business Advisors (UKBA) warns that many companies both large and small together with central and local government are insisting on their trading partners having 'good green credentials'. UK Business Advisors (UKBA) is highlighting the new 'BREEAM In Use' standard from The Building Research Establishment (BRE), which has established the international standards for environmental assessments. The BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) standards have been used to rate new buildings for several years, but a revised version is now available. This enables companies to obtain a rating against three different aspects of their operations:- • The asset performance (i.e. the buildings performance)• The building management performance• The organisational efficiency Assessments are carried out against a number … [Read more...]
Equality act does allow some Health Questioning at interviews
The new equality act places additional burdens and responsibilities on employers. One example is that of asking questions about health at an interview. Contrary to reports in much of the media, investigation by UK Business Advisors (UKBA) has shown that asking health questions at interviews is permitted in some situations. It is permitted to establish whether the applicant will be able to "carry out a function that is intrinsic to the work concerned". Examples of permitted questioning include: asking whether there is any condition which restricts an applicants' ability to work in a call centre - deaf applicants may not be able to "carry out a function intrinsic to the work". asking whether an applicant for a warehouse job has any condition which prevents or restricts them from lifting heavy items. In order to minimise risks to the employer, UK Business Advisors (UKBA) recommends taking expert advice before commencing the employment process; to analyse the job … [Read more...]

text: Hello! I have used this map before (http://discomap.eea.europa.[…]943f0e5491587d4588f0c2e9579 ) and had no issues with it, however for the last week I have been having trouble viewing the specific data points. When I click the red/yellow/green dots on the map, there are no bubbles that pop up showing the exact amount of NO2 in the atmosphere in that area for that year. This used to be the case. Please let me know if the issue is on my end or if there are any datasets I can download to get the data. Thank you!

Kitty Carlisle initially refused to take the part when she was asked to mime to someone else's voice. She won, and the song she performs, "Alone", later became her signature tune.
Kitty Carlisle stated that, out of her decades of movie roles, co-starring with The Marx Brothers in this movie gained her the most recognition.
Sam Wood, freshman The Marx Brothers director in this film, was a perfectionist. The scene in which Harpo Marx hangs from the rope was filmed so many times that Harpo Marx's hands became cut and swollen from the rope.
Sig Ruman makes his first of three appearances in The Marx Brothers films.
Harpo Marx did many of his own stunts. He later said it was a silly thing for a 47-year-old non-stuntman to have done.
A persistent rumor involves the presence of The Marx Brothers' father, Sam Marx (aka "Frenchie"), in the film as the ship leaves dock. He is not in this film - he died in 1933. The rumor came about because he had a cameo in a similar scene in Monkey Business.
According to MGM's dialogue cutting continuity, the film originally began (after the opening credits) with the image of a "boat on canal." A superimposed title reads: "ITALY - WHERE THEY SING ALL DAY AND GO TO THE OPERA AT NIGHT." What follows is a musical number featuring bits and pieces from Ruggero Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci" performed by "everyday" Italians. A street sweeper sings part of the prologue ("Un nido di memorie...") as he greets a man who then hands out opera tickets to a group of children emerging from a store; the kids respond with "la-la-la-la-la, verso un paese strano." A "captain" comes down a set of steps, salutes a sentry, then bursts into "Vesti la giubba." There's a lap dissolve to a hotel lobby, where a "baggage man" is rolling a trunk and crooning about "nettare divino" (divine nectar). He's joined in song by a waiter who then enters the dining room, where he sings as he serves a man who also gets in a few notes. The waiter then crosses over to speak to Mrs. Claypool (Margaret Dumont), marking the beginning of the film in existing copies.
An additional scene was cut from the picture in subsequent releases, and is now considered lost. The scene occurred just after the scene in the park when Rosa tells her friends she has been fired from the opera. The Marx Brothers, Rosa, and Ricardo hop on a passing fire engine, which takes them to the opera house. After lighting his cigar in the fire engine's smokestack, Groucho Marx comments, "This is the first car I've ever been in where the cigarette lighter actually works!"
Groucho does a very brief Jack Benny impression in the film. After "Otis P. Driftwood" makes the speech to the audience, Groucho gestures to the orchestra pit and says, "Play, Don!" This is a Benny line from the radio series; Jack Benny's orchestra leader, Don Bestor, was always cued this way (by the way, Bestor originated the J-e-l-l-O jingle for the Benny show).
In Leonard Maltin's commentary on the current DVD release, he states that there was a longer opening sequence. Starting with a title card that places the movie in Milan, Italy, there was then a musical number in which people on the street were "passing along" the melody line of a song, as in the Maurice Chevalier vehicle Love Me Tonight. The song was followed into the restaurant where Mrs. Claypool was waiting for Otis B. Driftwood. Maltin says the scene was cut during World War II to remove references to Italy, and unfortunately, the main negative was cut as well, so the scene is now lost. This was why the stated running time of the movie was three minutes longer than it is now.
In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked this as the #85 Greatest American Movie of All Time. It was the first inclusion of this film on the list.
In exasperation after several attempts to have Groucho Marx read one of his lines in the manner director Sam Wood had requested, Wood exclaimed, "I guess you just can't make an actor out of clay." Groucho Marx instantly responded, "Nor a director out of Wood."
In the scene where Harpo Marx, Chico Marx and Allan Jones are impersonating the three aviators in front of the mayor, Groucho Marx turns around to speak to them in a "foreign language." What is actually being said is a direct response to the accusations of imposters, only the audio track is played backwards. The first time Groucho Marx actually says, "Did you hear what he said? He said you were frauds and imposters!" which is then followed by Chico Marx and Riccardo protesting loudly, "How can he say a thing like that?", "This is ridiculous," and other such comments.
Premiere voted this movie as one of "The 50 Greatest Comedies Of All Time" in 2006.
Producer Irving Thalberg would often call people in for meetings, and then keep them waiting in his office for hours while he attended other meetings on the MGM lot. One day, during pre-production for A Night at the Opera, Thalberg kept The Marx Brothers waiting for several hours in his secretary's office, while he was in his own office making phone calls. When Thalberg's secretary went home for the day, the brothers decided they'd had enough. They pushed the office file cabinets against Thalberg's door, trapping the producer in his office. Afterwards, Thalberg kept his appointments with the Marx Brothers, but would often interrupt his meetings with them and step out to attend other meetings - again keeping the brothers waiting for hours. One day, Thalberg came back from another meeting to find Groucho Marx, Chico Marx, and Harpo Marx sitting in his office completely naked, and roasting potatoes on sticks in his office fireplace. Thalberg sat down with them, had a potato, and never missed or interrupted another meeting with the Marx Brothers.
The famous "stateroom scene" was originally conceived as a way of getting a cheap laugh by having Groucho Marx, crowded out of his room, changing his pants in the corridor. After this was not liked by test audiences, the current scene was improvised on the spot. A total of 15 people were in the scene:
- Driftwood (1)
- the stowaways Fiorello, Tomasso and Riccardo who were in the trunk (2-4)
- two chambermaids (5-6)
- an engineer who comes to turn off the heat (7)
- a manicurist (8)
- the engineer's burly assistant (9)
- a young woman looking for her Aunt Minnie and asking to use the phone (10)
- a cleaning woman (11)
- and four staff stewards bearing trays of food (12-15).
- They all tumble out when Mrs. Claypool (Margaret Dumont) opens the door.
The film was to have originally begun with each of The Marx Brothers taking turns roaring in lieu of Leo the Lion (MGM's logo mascot); Harpo Marx was to have honked his horn.
The first Marx Brothers film made without brother Zeppo Marx, it started a new trend of The Marx Brothers movies featuring a Zeppo-like supporting character who carries the love story and sings the song.
The first storyline was about Groucho Marx as the producer of an opera. That story was dropped but appeared many times in Hollywood as a story idea - until Mel Brooks made The Producers and got an Academy Award.
The opera performed as the movie's climax is Giuseppe Verdi's Il Trovatore.
