In the US it is illegal for a politician to accept gold bars or a Mercedes. Does the BRF have similar restrictions? I know they have received gems from the Middle East but at the same time Kate returns clothing freebies. Is merching legal bc they are not elected?

From the BRF’s policy on gifts:

The fundamental principle governing the acceptance of gifts by Members of The Royal Family is that no gifts, including hospitality or services, should be accepted which would, or might appear to, place the Member of The Royal Family under any obligation to the donor. In this regard, before accepting any gift, careful consideration should always be given, wherever practicable, to the donor, the reason for and occasion of the gift and the nature of the gift itself. Equally, before declining the offer of a gift, careful consideration should be given to any offence that might be caused by such action.

2.2 Gifts from businesses. Gifts offered by commercial enterprises in the UK should normally be declined, unless they are offered as a souvenir of an official visit to the enterprises' premises, to mark a Royal marriage or other special personal occasion. When gifts are accepted, the consent of the Member of The Royal Family should be contingent upon the enterprise undertaking not to exploit the gift for commercial purposes. Gifts, including samples, should always be returned unless it is not justifiable to do so on the grounds of cost. If such gifts are not returned, they should be treated as official gifts (see Section 3.2).

3.2 Definition of official gifts. Gifts are defined as official when received during an official engagement or duty or in connection with the official role or duties of a Member of The Royal Family. These include gifts: (a) presented to Members of The Royal Family by host organisers or official participants in connection with any official UK engagement or duty; (b) given by host authorities to a Member of The Royal Family on an official or working visit overseas. This covers those given by the government concerned, as well as any official body, public authority or host organisation/individual related to the Royal programme; (c) sent in by businesses and by individuals not personally known to the Member of The Royal Family; and (d) given by individuals not personally known to the Member of The Royal Family during "walkabouts" and other similar occasions.

And for the record, the US’s policies on gifts:

The Legislative Branch (Senators and Representatives):

The Judicial Branch, including Supreme Court Justices:

The Executive Branch:

For federal employees (the career civil service)

For the President’s Administration (political appointees and White House officials) - these rules are only in effect for the presidential term. New rules are issued by each President at the beginning of their term:

It’s more than gold bars and Mercedes that are unethical here in the US. Don’t bring your political snipes here, anon.

What is your opinion about the newbies and why they didn't work? Once I read a comment hey didn't work, because they didn't have plots with Rachel and Kurt. I'm not sure how it suppose to work, they were in different states, but I found this opinion interesting.

This is an interesting question and has a somewhat complex answer!

Let's break it down...

So, first, I've heard that people who've come to the show post-it airing don't seem to have as much of an issue with the newbies as the people who originally watched it. I mean, I haven't taken a poll in a while (BECAUSE I CAN'T) but I think the animosity towards the newbies has a few layers to it.

1. Let's look at what was going on with the rest of the show at the time. First of all, you've majorly reduced the screen time and/or have let go some of your old favorites. Puck, Quinn, Mercedes, and Mike are essentially /not/ on the show anymore. Santana doesn't really come back until half way through the season. Finn doesn't show up until episode four. And even Kurt's time has been reduced.

So -- we're going into the fourth season of the show and it feels like you've replaced half the cast.

2. The old casts' story lines are revolving around the break ups of all the major ships. So now there's new people we don't know taking up space, and all of our favorites lives are miserable.

2.B In addition -- the cast was already too big in Season 3, the fact that they've added more people just feels like a lot and so unnecessary. The should have trimmed the cast and let it stay trim -- but that damn 12 person per glee club rule...

3. The new cast is intentionally mirroring the characters we already know and care about. Marley = Rachel. Jake = Puck. Kitty = Quinn. Ryder = Finn. Unique = Mercedes/Kurt. (And later Bree = Santana.) Yes, I do think the new cast kind of grew into their own about half way through the fourth season, but recreating the molds of the original characters felt like the old characters we already loved were being replaced.

4. The new casts' story lines were terrible. They're already trying to shove Jake/Marley down our throats the minute they start interacting. It quickly turns into a love triangle that will drag on and on and on.... And then there's Marley's eating disorder story that was /terrible/.

5. And... yes, then there's the fact that they're mostly isolated from the old cast. They didn't need to be involved with Rachel and Kurt (who... should have been on a different show entirely, but that's a whole other thing). But they should have been more involved with Sam, Blaine, Brittany, Tina and Artie. In fact -- The five seniors should have had the focused story lines, and the new kids should have folded into theirs. There was barely any integration and by the time they started to fix this issue, it kind of felt like too little too late.

****

In contrast, look at how they handled the Season 6 newbies (which, imo, were better). Each of those characters were vastly different than anyone who came before them. And they were there to service Rachel, Kurt, and Blaine's stories. (Technically - the season 4 newbies were there to service Finn's, but not to the same extent.) The Season 6 newbies (with the exception of their one episode) did not over power the original casts' story lines -- they were integrated into them, and were mostly used for comic relief. If they had handled the Season 4 newbies the same way - the push back might not have been so hard.

And look - there are people (and ever were people back then) who like the Season 4 newbies. I think most of them have grown on me over the years. I enjoy Marley and Unique's friendship. Once Kitty gets out of the mean girl phase, I like her, too. And even Jake isn't that bad. (Ryder, I just can't even with him though, and the whole love triangle was so drawn out and boring...)

So, yeah. It's a thing where you can't just point to one issue and claim that was the reason. It was a mix of just an incredible mishandling of the beginning of Season 4. :P

Of all the criticisms there are about Glee, most of them justified, one I almost never see people mention but one that really sticks with me is that I truly don’t think this show took full advantage of it being a musical show.

Elements of the musical theatre vibes were there in S1 where characters would break out into song to express how they were feeling in the moment, but as the show went on, the songs just…stopped telling the story and stopped telling us how the characters feel.

And this is nit-picky, because I assume some of this is due to having a lower budget, but I would have LOVED to see more moments where the characters would break into song and suddenly a bunch of background characters just join in with spontaneously but synchronized choreography. Like say Mercedes were to realize she’s falling for Sam and once the “oh shit” moment hits her, suddenly Rihanna’s “SOS” drops and the characters around her begin dancing, she starts singing, and the scene plays out like something you’d see in a musical.

Is it cheesy as hell? Yes but that’s the point! It’s a musical show! Take advantage of that and have the characters spill their guts in emotional ballads or have the songs cover a passage of time like an opening number of a Broadway show or have the characters get so into it they imagine a whole ass musical number in their head complete with costumes and choreography!

Like I have heard certain songs in the show that sound AMAZING but the scene they’re in falls flat because it’s not telling me a story, but it COULD!

And I have a feeling that I’m one of the 10 people that actually cares about this aspect of the show enough but it still bugs me.

Yeah you probably are in a very small minority here since most of the complaints about Glee are literally just how cRiNgE it is like shut uppp we know lmao

But yeah like also there's the whole thing about the early seasons having a story to tell, and then they found songs that would help tell it vs the later seasons writing plots around songs they wanted to include. Plus the rise in average songs per ep where it just felt like they were cramming in as many as they could to sell them on itunes. Like think about Preggers having no full songs, or Vitamin D only featuring two numbers in the whole ep. Certainly couldn't find that in any of the later seasons. And it's harder to make them stand out and feel special when they're clearly worried about quantity over quality

And then when they do try to do something interesting it's immediately b-b-but the budget!! like shut up again omg sorry we're trying to have fun here

I mean I know I complain about Rachel's 500 'walking down the hallway crysinging' numbers but. I appreciate how they cut between being diegetic and non diegetic. Like part of the number happens in her room/the choir room/the auditorium so we know it's really happening, but then it changes to her singing in the middle of a crowded hallway so we know it's just in her head. But there are a lot of different things going on and it feels like it's all to service one narrative and it feels like a well integrated part of the story. Like Firework or Take A Bow. Or Mercedes singing Spotlight and it starts out in her head but then turns into her audition so she's really singing it to people. Idk just little things like that that make the songs feel more woven into the story

I know they're short on crazy costumes and stuff but I'm trying to think of songs that fit the bill of being non diegetic and actually moving the plot along instead of stopping everything dead to just be an unrelated 3 minute music video. I'm thinkinggg like It's Too Late, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, How To Be A Heartbreaker? Stuff along those lines

But that's how all the scenarios I write in my head are. Kurt singing Something In My House and Name Of The Game (both about Blaine duh) and Brittany singing Dancing With Tears In My Eyes. They're basically all like. Singing the song while a montage of background events happen that line up with the lyrics of the song lol. I definitely would've had a signature style, had I only been on the creative team for this show </3

[tuiyla]

Do you think Glee would have changed for the better if it had been a cable show instead of a network one? If there were less episodes, I tend to think the characters would stay more consistent, there'd be less plotlines that went nowhere (though that's not a given, eg AHS from RM himself) and most of the songs would service the story. However, I'm not sure there'd be enough time for a minor character like Santana to stand out and eventually grow in prominence, so idk. Thoughts?

I'm not sure Glee's a show that would have benefitted from fewer episodes. The structure of tributes and lessons of the week in-between openers, closers and competition episodes works well. Sure, the theme is sometimes forced and the show devolves into trying to cover any and all social issues, but the 22-episode format works. Glee, at its best, is a true ensemble. You simply cannot be an ensemble with this many cast members under 10 or so episodes. And I'm not saying Glee was actually a true ensemble most of the time, but the traditional 22-episode network TV season at least presented that opportunity.

I'm not sure fewer episodes would have helped with consistency. Sure, maybe less padding and fewer storylines going nowhere but if it's still the same writers, the constraint of the shorter season is only going to help them so much. And maybe it would result in slightly tighter storytelling, but we just wouldn't get the same Glee Club with the same themes and tributes and most definitely not the same attention paid to members other than Finchel, maybe Kurt and to a lesser extent Puck and Quinn (and Will ofc). I'd personally take a network Glee season with horrible inconsistencies and dropped storylines but with my Santana and Brittany and Mercedes over a potentially better written story that's just about Finchel and Will.

I think it's generous to assume that the songs would serve the story better just because they would have less times and fewer songs to work with. What I see happening is them keeping the Finchel features and Rachel ballads and cutting down on the already disproportionate ratio of the rest of the club. Which, again, no thank you.

Cable also has an altogether different vibe, especially in 2009. Glee's blend of comedy and drama, more so drama and camp than satire as it went on, just wouldn't work as a cable show. Or, well, I guess that's a big topic to get into but they'd be under more pressure to "choose" and let's be honest, they wouldn't choose prestige TV. And yeah, like you say, the natural progression of chs like Santana is inherent to how Glee was filmed. To those 22 episode early seasons, to how there was space for her to grow into. Or, rather, in Santana/Naya's case, an opportunity for her to make that space. Organic growth and spontaneity happens in cable but idk if it would have happened here.

I have a now year-old post that I often like to link back to, a) because no one has read it lol and b) because it explores the ways in which I think Glee's problems could have been solved. I.e. restructuring in how it approaches the cast, songs, etc. And maybe there's a cable version, but I just think network and the 22-episode season was the way to go for Glee. But just saying that as someone who doesn't like the more limited (and limiting) focus of season 1 and would not have liked Glee as a movie (because it would just been season 1A but even less inclined to feature the more minor characters).

Soc. Com. C. Santos com campanha de compra antecipada de manutenções: poupança pode ultrapassar 1300 euros

A Sociedade Comercial C. Santos iniciou uma campanha de primavera de compra antecipada de packs de manutenções com preços especiais. A oferta está disponível, até dia 20 de junho, para Mercedes-Benz Cars e Mercedes-Benz Vans e as poupanças chegam a ultrapassar os 1000 euros nos automóveis e os 1300 euros nas viaturas comerciais ligeiras.

Esta campanha, que tem como mote “Ao planear está a poupar”, oferece aos clientes a oportunidade de adquirirem a um preço fixo os próximos serviços programados de manutenção em packs com duas, três ou quatro revisões no caso de automóveis de passageiros e de duas, quatro ou seis revisões nos veículos comerciais ligeiros. Esta ação tem como oferta extra a quem contratualizar a aquisição do pack de revisões, um desconto adicional de 10% em peças (substituídas fora do âmbito da revisão programada enquanto o contrato de serviço estiver ativo).

Na campanha dos Mercedes-Benz Cars, a compra de quatro revisões é a mais vantajosa face ao preço habitual das manutenções. A poupança é de até 770,90 euros nas gamas Mercedes-Benz Classe A, B, CLA, GLA e GLB; 894,16 euros nas gamas Classe S, CL, G, SL e SLR; 914,86 euros nas gamas Classe C, GLC, SLC e GLK; e 1091,97 euros nas gamas Classe E, GLE, CLS e M.

A campanha de veículos comerciais ligeiros tem na aquisição de seis manutenções a maior oferta. A poupança é de 1555,35 euros na gama Mercedes-Benz Citan, de 1231,83 euros na gama Vito e de 1350,23 euros na gama Sprinter.

Cartão de cliente aumenta poupança

No caso dos titulares do cartão de cliente Sociedade Comercial C. Santos, o benefício da aquisição antecipada de manutenções é ainda superior. A poupança do pack de quatro revisões varia, neste cenário, entre 816,90 euros (Classe A, B, CLA, GLA e GLB) e 1146,20 euros (Classe E, GLE, CLS e M) nos automóveis ligeiros de passageiros.

Já nos modelos Mercedes-Benz Vans, a poupança na aquisição de seis serviços é de 211,61 euros na gama Mercedes-Benz Citan, de 1280,53 euros na gama Vito e de 1453,25 euros na gama Sprinter.

Este benefício adicional dos titulares junta-se a outras vantagens dos clientes com cartão de crédito Sociedade Comercial C. Santos. Uma destas é a oferta de viatura de substituição gratuita por 24 horas na revisão da viatura associada ao cartão.

Sem restrição de idade ou quilometragem

Ao contrário de outro tipo de contratos de manutenção disponibilizados, não tem restrição de idade ou quilometragem da viatura. Outra das vantagens da compra antecipada das revisões é o facto de fixar valores, garantindo aos clientes estabilidade dos preçários. O valor destes contratos pode ser pago na íntegra ou fracionado.

Estes packs são válidos individualmente por veículo e para as próximas manutenções programadas. Outra vantagem indireta é continuar a usufruir do serviço 24H pelo facto de fazer as revisões numa oficina autorizada. A campanha de inverno de aquisição de compras antecipada de packs de manutenções Mercedes-Benz na Sociedade Comercial C. Santos não é acumulável com outras campanhas e/ou descontos em vigor e aplica-se apenas aos modelos indicados (não inclui automóveis elétricos).

Menos custos e mais previsibilidade

“As campanhas de aquisição de pacotes de manutenções fixas para veículos Mercedes-Benz na Sociedade Comercial C. Santos têm sido um sucesso, razão pela qual estamos a renovar esta oferta de poupança aos clientes. Esta ação reduz os preços das revisões e aumenta a previsibilidade de custos que os clientes terão com as manutenções fixas dos seus automóveis. Esses dois fatores são uma mais-valia para os nossos clientes”, refere o diretor de customer services da Sociedade Comercial C. Santos, Vítor Ferreira.

Sport Venue and Event Management

Entry 2 - Design innovation of sports venue. The Mercedes-Benz Stadium is a muti-purpose venue which opened during 2017 and is the home to the NFL club the Atlanta Falcons and the Major League Soccer team Atlanta United. The Mercedes-Benz Stadiums multiple innovative features highlights why it is one of the most ground-breaking stadiums in the world. At the forefront of this innovation is the Stadiums ‘Halo Board’ a retractable roof that can adapt its environment by opening and closing in eight minutes an their retractable seating allowing 66,000 attendants rise to an additional 8,000 seats. According to Lv et al. (2021) peoples China demand for sports stadiums to increase to a higher standard is prevalent whilst  public sports stadiums are undergoing an evolution from business-oriented management to corporate operational managed. This shift emphasises that innovation is a vital part of modern sporting arenas. Furthermore, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium implemented the use of light-emitting diode (LED) as opposed to the more traditional methods originally used like metal halide lighting which are less efficient. The use of LED lighting had been considered cutting-edge innovation as it provides the owners of the stadium complete flexibility, cutting energy and maintenance costs. Additionally, the LED lighting provides special effects previously only possible at smaller venues (WSP, 2018).

(Comparison of old and new stadium)

Furthermore, over the past few years post COVID-19 the increased competition from home-viewing has created challenges in brining spectators to sporting events. The at home experinces has never been so easy and accessible as the development of high-quality streaming services, high-definition video, audio and the accessibility off streaming from multiple devices such as computers and tablets (Merceds-Benz Stadium, 2020). To counteract this ‘at home experience’ the concept of creating ‘smart buildings has become paramount. These ‘smart building’ consists of intelligence and enterprise that construct entire building systems that are adaptable (Van Heck et al., 2021). Highlighting the emphasis on innovation organisations must take when developing sports stadiums.

(Mercedes-benz Stadium, 2017)

Another implementation highlighting the innovation of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is the usage of drone technology to clean the stadium. The partnership with Lucid Drone Technologies is a cutting-edge technology company which uses drones to sanitize key areas in more efficient and effective manner. This cleaning method is revolutionary step forward in cleaning protocols as it removes human contact with physical parts of the stadium minimise the spread of germs and other microorganisms (Mercedes-Benz Stadium. (2020). Overall,  the construction of the Mercedes-Benzes stadium was a revolutionary in setting the precedence for organisations developing new stadiums.
