This is something I learned at one of the pre-op visits for my breast reduction! My surgeon was basically I think an independent surgeon (as I guess I would imagine is common for “cosmetic”/plastic surgeons?) and she was telling us a little bit about what to do for talking to insurance about the surgery and stuff, and she mentioned that for us going through insurance it would be at a particular hospital, but she also often did surgeries where people didn’t use there insurance, and she did those at some other place, and the price she charged up front was much lower, because that was the actual cost of the surgery (and equipment and everyone’s salaries etc.) and she had to raise the ticket price significantly when people would go through insurance, because the insurance company would negotiate that price down, and then keep some of the money. (Obviously for us and many others it still worked out to be cheaper for us out of pocket to go through insurance, but the amount she made was roughly the same even though it would look like she charged thousands more for my breast reduction than for someone not using insurance)

So, when you get those bills from your insurance after a doctors visit, and there’s that little table that tells you, this is the cost of the visit, this is the discount we got you, this is how much we paid, this is how much you still have to pay?

That line about “we got you this discount” is misleading. They actually caused the provider to raise the initial cost of your care by that amount, or more, in anticipation of the insurance company refusing to pay the full amount so that they could tell you they got you a discount.

"Why does a 15-minute visit with a doctor cost 150 bucks in America???" you're gonna want to read Money-Driven Medicine, by Maggie Mahar, and probably also The Social Transformation of American Medicine, to answer that question. It is not because your doctor is a greedy bastard; your doctor does not see most of that money. It is because the system is broken to a level that is truly impressive in its dedication to making a shit ton of money for insurance company executives and shareholders.

IAT – GAR Structure Jedi & Clones (AU)

Worked out this guide for the military structure and number of clone troopers per unit for the GAR & Co.

Most of it is taken from canon, with some details and minor adjustments for the AU :)

General thoughts and overview for the setting are collected in this post (continually updated) – though I might end up making separate posts elaborating on the different points & characters.

Jedi Ranks (GAR)

Council Member -> High General

Master -> General

Knight -> Commander

Senior Padawan -> Major

Padawan -> Captain

Padawans may lead companies when necessary, though it's generally avoided. Exceptions can be made for senior Padawans to command battalions on their own.

-> Support Personnel (27,280+) -> Special Forces (10,600+) -> Homeworld Security Command (369,230) -> Coruscant Guard (46,670) -> Republic Medic Corps (68,904)

Support Personnel

Includes Jedi Guardians, command clones, and trained ARC troopers.

▼ Year 1 estimate GAR count ▼

20,480 Companies = Captains / Majors

5,120 Battalions = Battalion Commanders

1,280 Regiments = Jedi Commanders / Regimental Commanders

320 Brigades = Jedi Generals/Commanders / Senior Commanders

80 Corps = Experienced Jedi Generals / Marshal Commanders

20 Sector Armies = 20 High Jedi Generals

10 Systems Armies = 10 of the 20 High Jedi Generals

Several corps and the personal battalions therein are under direct joint command of clones and Jedi generals overseeing larger units, such as experienced Masters or council members. -> Kenobi oversees the 3rd Systems Army and 3rd Sector Army therein, directly leading the 7th Sky Corps and the 212th Attack Battalion, with Cody as his second-in-command.

Clone commanders of higher rank have a personal battalion they lead on top of the unit they oversee. -> e.g. Cody is the marshal commander of the 7th Sky Corps, while personally commanding the 212th Attack Battalion.

There are always 20 active members on the Jedi High Council – 10 experienced council members are each assigned a systems army, while also responsible for one sector and personally overseeing a corps therein. The remaining members oversee one of the other 10 sectors and command a corps each, as well.

Special Forces

Special task forces comprised of elite clone commandos, trained by Mandalorians. They are capable of carrying out special operations, such as covert infiltration, sabotage, demolition and assassination.

Squad (4)

★ Sergeant -> 3 Troopers

Troop (20)

★ Lieutenant -> 5 Squads

Company (100)

★ Captain -> 5 Troops

Commando Group (500)

★ Commander -> 5 Companies

Special Operations Brigade (10,000)

★ Jedi General -> 20 Commando Groups

Five commando groups were utilized during the battle of Geonosis, of which only a tenth survived as the rest were subsequently killed in a trap laid by Geonosian forces.

Advanced Recon Commandos (600+)

ARC troopers are clones who received additional training by Alpha-class commandos post-Geonosis, turning them into elite soldiers capable of independent and creative thinking on the field. The original Alphas are especially independent and were personally trained by Jango Fett, which greatly influenced their capabilities.

-> 100 Alpha-class Commandos -> 500+ Clone Troopers (Year 1 estimate)

After the initial training of most command clones, only five Alphas would remain on Kamino to continue training a 100 troopers each over the course of three months before deployment. Among them were Alpha-17 and the four ARC commanders of Rancor Battalion.

Homeworld Security Command

Homeworld Security operates differently to the GAR – shock troopers, specialists and elite units are trained on Coruscant for an urban setting and regular contact with the general public. Units are assembled per situation and structured to be split into pairs, including command staff and medics.

Team (4)

★ Corporal -> 3 Troopers

Squad (8)

★ Sergeant -> 2 Teams

Patrol (32)

★ Lieutenant -> 4 Squads

1 Lieutenant + 7 Troopers

3 Sergeants + 21 Troopers

Company (96)

★ Captain -> 12 Squads / 3 Patrols

Group (576)

★ Commander -> 6 Companies

Divison (14,976+)

★ Regimental Commander -> 26 Groups + Support Personnel

Guard (46,670)

★ Senior Commander -> 3 Divisions

Off-world Security (369,230)

★ 8 Off-world Senior Commanders

Surveillance (69,286)

Orbital Defense (26,800)

Core World Security (273,144)

Some of the notable worlds that saw use of these permanent troops included examples such as: Corellia, Kuat, Fedalle, Brentaal, Denon, Chandrila, Bellassa and even Botor.

Coruscant Guard (46,670)

The Coruscant Guard ("Corries") are the Coruscant-based specialized branch of HSC – other major Core Worlds are given their own minor Guard and supplemental security. Guard duties are a lot more extensive compared to standard HSC deployed shock troopers, which primarily focus on security and patrols.

★ Marshal Commander Fox ★ Senior Commander Stone ★ Regimental Commander Thorn ★ Regimental Commander Thire (later promotion)

Control Division (16,440)

Security Division (14,990)

Diplomatic Division (15,240)

Commander Stone acts as the default second-in-command of the Coruscant Guard and handles most of the administrative work, while Commander Fox sees more use in operations throughout the city-levels due to his exceptional performance within the Control Division.

Republic Medic Corps (68,904)

Trained clone medics are deployed to all of the other units, typically under the supervision of a (Chief) Medical Officer provided by the Republic Navy or Jedi MedCorps.

-> 1 CMO + 1 MO per 64 Medics -> Medics = ca. 1 per Platoon/36 Troopers

GAR = 62,228

SpO = 200

HSC = 6,152

CoG = 324

Misc -> Primary GAR Ships & Co.

Venators

Venator-class Attack Cruisers can carry a brigade each (ca. 9,300+ people)

-> Crew: 7,400 + 2,000 passengers -> Cargo Capacity: 20,000 tons -> Consumables: 2 years

LAAT/i (attack) Gunship -> 2 Pilots + 2-4 Gunners + 30 passengers -> Fuel: 8 hours — IM-6 battlefield medical droid — Speeder bikes

Walkers (various) -> AT-TE = All Terrain tactical Enforcer (6leg tank)

Shuttle / Shuttlecraft -> Personnel transport

Z-95 Starfighter / Headhunter -> Single-pilot clone starfighter

BTL-B Y-wing Starfighter -> Assault starfighter/bomber -> 1 Pilot + 1 Gunner + 1 Astromech

Delta-7B light interceptor -> aka Jedi starfighter -> Pilot + Astromech

Bombers (craft) -> Crew: 5

V-wing starfighters -> Pilot + Astromech

Acclamators

Acclamator-class Assault Transport/Carrier can carry an entire brigade and up to 3 regiments each (ca. 16,200+ people)

-> Crew: 700 + 16,000 troopers -> Cargo Capacity: 11,250 tons

320 Speeder bikes

80 LAAT/i

48 AT-TE

I cleared my hoard of all items except 100 energy boosts and cleared my SB and GB as well as HS down to 0 to see what 100 energy boosts could total out to.

Baseline from just exploring I got 2080 SB

After selling off all amusement items, small meat chunks, and other misc one-use carcasses to Monkey Business, I gained an additional 7716 SB, bringing the total to 9796 SB / nearly 10 GB from exploring and explore items

Gained a total of 987 HS

Found 7 Chased lionesses on Energy Boosts 12, 36, 54, 71, 76, 99, and 100 that would be worth something if I could be bothered to put the energy in, but I personally don't so they'll be killed without adding to the profit of this experiment

Leveled 3 times and got 80% of the way towards leveling a fourth time, didn't engage in any battles but did gain EXP from interactions

Got to Dreamboat and a few 100% impression stat boosts after that

Ultimately, being that I'll be able to buy 16 Buffalo Scrogums with that (and assuming they sell for 25 each later in the year on the low end), I'll flip this for 400GB on the low end, bringing my net profit of this experience to 200GB and 9796SB (before selling off carcasses; I kept them for my over 200 lions but I'll have surplus to sell off for more SB after they feed). I find it very interesting that I never found a SINGLE abandoned nest in this little experiment, which is something else I really wanted out of it and am disappointed to have not received.

What do you all think of this experiment and its results?

Drew a growth and development for Cardassians chart!

Cardassians are born with stripes and countershading, which started as an evolutionary adaption to protect them. Calling someone "striped" in Kardasi still carries a connotation of being young, foolish, etc. This is enforced by children's clothes traditionally being modified for continuous wear by being loose and adding strips of fabric to the the sleeves and hems until about 9, when children begin to wear clothes similar to that of adults. The pigmentation of these striped scales is a purple-brown iridescence that fades as Cardassians age, but still retains some presence (if you pay attention the dappled scales on their upper backs have a bit of purple and green in, which I choose to interpret as iridescence). Some Cardassians also have speckling or dappling patterns, usually in addition to stripes; these cluster with geographic/ancestral origin and are a normal variation.

When I refer to ridge development, I not only mean formation of scales (one baby Cardassian we see in show only has ridges over the eyebrows, not yet reaching the cheeks) but the filling out as well. The medial ridge and shoulder ridges form in the womb, but are flat until around age 9. Traditionally the growth spurt and filling of scales occurs earlier than the development of sexual characteristics (which corellate to the age of emergence, about 15 or 16), but as food access improves the latter event tends to occur earlier. The protective scaling on the outer thighs and knees is present from birth, but the individual scales are smaller and softer, hardening and growing larger in their teen years.

If you've read my notes on Hebitians I mention there's an assumption that Hebitians are short, and that it's more an issue that post-Union, Hebitians tend to be poor and have had less access to nutrition, and height corellates more with that. The jump here for the growth spurt associated with their "first season" (Cardassian term is kashmim and doesn't quite translate to season) helps give an idea of how much that matters for Cardassians-as-a-species compared to other species. This height differential doesn't really exist during the show on Cardassia, as around the time the Occupation of Bajor began, the Detapa council instituted a series of food subsidies keeping certain basic food items at a stable price over the past several decades, and changed tack in its approach to poverty and homelessness, especially with regard to children (obviously, this wasn't a net good in the case of the latter, with the experiences of those who received this type of aid being a driving factor in the dissident movement).

They start out comparatively so much smaller as an evolutionary trade off so there's a longer pregnancy, making sure they're more developed without causing every Cardassian that's ever given birth to need a c-section. An infant Cardassian is much more mobile than that of a species with a comparable adult size. However, they don't have any faster linguistic development or socialization- the trade off that meant your kid was less likely to get eaten by another apex predator now means having an extended family or the money to hire a nanny is necessary for any new parents mental stability and overall health.

The jump in height is taxing, and historically some schools have structured the curriculum to be very light around age 9, either only having half day classes or reducing the days attended. On Cardassia as it is around DS9, curriculum is structured for half days for 3 dleiha, equivalent to 360 days (Cardassian "school years" are 195 days with a 36 day break, not counting holidays or "weekly" rest days). It's characterized by excessive shedding, more sleeping, more eating, muscle cramps and aches, and bruising from the growth spurts. Around this time kids basically lay around the house with a humidifier, or take frequent trips to the sauna, and hide under a heated blanket. After this age male Cardassians are expected to remove the hair from the tips of their tails; keeping it is associated with femininity. Cardassians overall look similar regardless of sex; Cardassians idealize women being broader chested and hipped, and a bit shorter than men.

To be young, beautiful, and the preference

I recently made a video about the Sprinkle Sprinkle lady, Sheraseven, and how her messaging didn't seem right with me, especially the part of her husband being married and having a girlfriend and her allegedly helping to clean out the wife's bank account, and I was told I didn't get it and they're right. The message is missing me, because at 36, I have lived to see a few things and know that everything she is saying is not completely copacetic and simply unrealistic and don't make sense. When I was 23, I was asked on a date by an older gentleman who then proceeded to ask me if I wanted to be a courtesans, which is another word for escort or, what we call today, a 304. This was not the first or last time I was asked this. I wasn't that type of girl, so I declined but no shame to those who are in the life. I had offers from older men to "take care of me," which was expected as I was young and beautiful and they were older, not necessarily ugly, but older with stable careers and money and we both knew what it was. But I noticed by the time I hit my late 20s, the offers kind of stopped. Not completely, as the man got to be a bit older, but slowed down. I say all that to say, the women like Savannah James and Sheraseven, who can truly have the hypergamous life, at seemingly very little expense, are few and far between and even Shera7 is looking a little funny in the light and Savannah doesn't talk much, so it's easy to project onto her.

I have noticed that most of the discord against Sheraseven and the SprinkleSprinkle movement comes from women in my age range, mid-late 30s to Gen X women in their 50s because we've been through it and we see how the men treat these women when they're done with them and it's not us being bitter that we're "old," it's that we know how it turns out and all the stuff they're telling you and giving you is just B.S. But like every generation, this generation of young people will have to figure it out on their own and will eventually join the elder circle of those watching the young people make the mistakes they once made.

There is a reason why the age gap between men and women began to widen around the age of 28 or so because as women began to wisen up, so do men and the luster tends to wane on both ends and this also the age when most people start to permanently, or at least legally, couple up and begin families and men, who like to impress with money, material things, and experiences can't really do that with a woman who has been experiencing that life since she was 17 or 18. Bow Wow, who is only a few months younger than me, famously said he want a woman he can give new experiences to and Marques Houston, who is in his early 40s, said he wanted a younger woman who didn't have baggage and kids, all the while saying his 19 year old wife was more mature than women twice her age. Okay. This is nothing new, men can simply blame it on feminism and independent womanhood but if we go back to history, the amount of our grandmothers and great grandmothers who got married and became mothers before they turned 18, to men twice their age, is astounding and this was before women had "rights." So miss me with the reasonings and excuses.

Youth and beauty are the most depreciating commodities but we treat them like they're everlasting and for some reason, every generation believes they are the exception and not the rule. Men have trained young, beautiful, 18-25 year old women to give them their peak beauty and time, many times to be left with very little to show for it once they hit the proverbial wall of 35 and up. Every older woman with a not so tight body and 3-4 kids, was once supple, young, and believed the world was her oyster was well and that she would never be traded in for the newest model. The naivete and resilience of late teens-20 somethings to see the best in life and that they're the exception will always amaze me because 20 somethings, who have never experienced life on their own, believe they have it all figured out. I remember being in my early 20s and getting offended when an older person told me I had more to learn or that I wasn't as wise as I thought I was and they weren't wrong and I should have listened because I would have saved myself a few mistakes and some time.

The way things were done may have changed but the game is still the same. I was in my early-mid 20s when social media really began popping to the point where nobodies became bigger stars than those with legit talent. It made multimillionaires and red carpet staples out of ordinary people. IG really became the new King Magazine, if you know you know, where a new way of life opened for women simply because they were beautiful. These women like Amber Rose, Black Chyna, Brittney Renner, India Love, Bernice Burgous, and even Kim Kardashian would go viral every time they posted a picture and many got opportunities and high profile relationships from it. The IG baddies who were at their peak in the early-mid 2010s are all in their thirties and some in their 40s and they're starting to pivot. They know Kim Kardashian is the only 40 plus woman who can still post a naked picture and it seem normal. Women in this life, from all generations, typically do one of three things, they have a baby, they get married, or they pivot into a successful business owner or even religion. The women who are my age, mid-late 30s are considered old or used up because this is the age your body changes and no longer easily bounces back, and women tend to be wiser and talk back a little more and men want a trophy and not a chihuahua.

The amount of women who believe they can outplay the architect of the game, is amazing to me. The game will always be rigged to let just enough of the select few in for us to believe we all have a chance at being the exception to the rule. The amount of women I see who believe they are playing men, only to get played at the end, is astounding. I remember when Ashley, from RHOP, was still married to Michael and they redid their prenup after he got caught cheating to get half of their shared assets and they're now divorced and she's not getting any child support while living in a house she cannot afford, that is in an LLC, that Michael owns and he can come by anytime he wants and make her company leave but let the internet tell it, Ashley won and she outplayed Michael.

There is a phrase that goes "church is where hoes go to die" because at some point, everyone ages out of the game, no matter what game you play, and sometimes the church is the only place a former hussie can have a little bit of power. There is a reason why Blac Chyna and Brittany Renner are trying to pivot because while they're still beautiful and someone's dream girl, they've aged out of the population they were once prominent in.

google hits for the various permutations of ordering the individual words within ‘Spongebob Squarepants’:

Squarepants Spongebob gets a ton of false positives from things like The Origin of SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete First Season (DVD)

also literally like half of these are the titles of YTPs or other forms of youtube shitpost

here’s a chart of all the positions and how many times each word appears in them though (again, excluding those first two lines for being basically irrelevant to this exercise):

Shower Base Buying Guide: What to Look for in Quality and Durability

When it comes to designing or renovating a bathroom, the shower base is one of the most crucial elements to consider. Not only does it define the look and feel of your shower area, but its quality and durability are key to ensuring a long-lasting, functional, and safe shower experience. Whether you're installing a shower in a new bathroom or upgrading an existing setup, choosing the right shower base for bathroom is essential.

In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the key factors to consider when buying a shower base, including materials, size, style, durability, and maintenance. By understanding these considerations, you can make an informed decision that will lead to a shower that performs well and lasts for many years.

1. Material Matters: Choose the Right Composition

The first step in selecting a shower base for bathroom is understanding the various materials available. Each material has its unique advantages and limitations, so it's essential to choose one that best fits your needs.

Acrylic: Acrylic is a popular choice due to its affordability, ease of maintenance, and resistance to stains. It's lightweight, which makes it easier to install, and it offers a smooth, comfortable surface for standing. Acrylic shower bases often come with a reinforced backing, which helps improve durability.

Fiberglass: Fiberglass is another affordable option, though it is less durable than acrylic. It's lightweight, easy to install, and can be molded into various shapes. However, fiberglass bases tend to show signs of wear and tear, such as discoloration or cracks, over time.

Stone Resin: For a more luxurious and durable option, stone resin is an excellent choice. This material is made from a blend of natural stone and resin, which gives it a solid, heavy feel. Stone resin shower bases are highly resistant to cracks and chips, and they offer excellent heat retention. These bases are ideal for high-end bathroom designs.

Ceramic or Porcelain: Ceramic and porcelain shower bases are known for their smooth finish and sophisticated appearance. They are also highly durable and resistant to stains and scratches. However, they are heavier and may require additional support during installation.

Custom Shower Pans: For those who want a completely unique look or have specific sizing requirements, custom shower pans made from various materials can be a great option. Custom pans can be designed to fit any shower size and style, though they often come at a higher cost.

2. Size and Shape: Ensuring a Perfect Fit

Another essential factor when selecting a shower base for bathroom is determining the right size and shape for your shower area. Shower bases are available in a variety of dimensions, from small corner units to large, rectangular options.

Standard Sizes: Most shower bases come in standard sizes, such as 32" x 32", 36" x 36", or 48" x 36". These options are ideal for typical bathroom layouts and can easily fit in most spaces.

Custom Sizes: If you have a non-standard bathroom or a custom shower design in mind, you may need a shower base that's customized to fit your specific space. Some manufacturers offer custom sizes, though they often come with a higher price tag.

Shape: Shower bases come in various shapes, including square, rectangular, and even corner configurations. Your choice of shape should complement the layout of your bathroom. For example, a corner shower base is ideal for smaller bathrooms, while a rectangular base may be more suited to larger spaces.

Drain Location: The location of the drain is also an important consideration. Make sure the drain is placed in a position that allows for proper water flow and drainage. Some bases come with center drains, while others have corner or side drains, depending on the design.

3. Durability: Long-lasting Performance

When investing in a shower base for bathroom, durability is key. The shower base is subjected to constant exposure to water, humidity, and cleaning products, so it needs to withstand these conditions over time.

Scratch and Chip Resistance: Look for a shower base that is resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks. High-quality acrylic, stone resin, and ceramic bases are typically designed with reinforced surfaces that prevent damage from heavy use.

Water Resistance: A good shower base should be impermeable to water to prevent leakage, mold, or mildew. Materials like acrylic and stone resin are non-porous, ensuring that water doesn't seep into the base and cause damage over time.

Weight and Stability: A heavier base typically indicates a more durable product, especially for stone resin and ceramic options. These bases tend to offer better stability and resilience compared to lighter materials like fiberglass.

4. Slip Resistance: Ensuring Safety

Safety should always be a top priority in any bathroom, and a slip-resistant surface is an essential feature of any shower base for bathroom. A smooth, glossy finish may look appealing but can be dangerous when wet. Fortunately, most high-quality shower bases come with slip-resistant textures to help reduce the risk of slipping.

Look for shower bases that feature textured or embossed surfaces. These are designed to provide better traction and reduce the likelihood of accidents. Some models also come with additional safety features, such as non-slip mats or coatings that further enhance their slip-resistant properties.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning: Easy Upkeep

The maintenance required for your shower base is another important factor to consider. A high-quality shower base for bathroom should be easy to clean and maintain, helping you avoid the hassle of constant upkeep.

Non-Porous Materials: Materials like acrylic, stone resin, and ceramic are non-porous, meaning they won't absorb water or soap scum, making them much easier to clean. These materials can usually be wiped down with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaners.

Preventing Mildew: Some materials are more resistant to mildew and mold growth than others. For example, stone resin and acrylic are both highly resistant to mold, while fiberglass may be more prone to developing mildew if not properly maintained.

Scratch-Free Surfaces: To avoid long-term cleaning challenges, choose a shower base with a scratch-resistant surface. This helps keep your shower looking new and minimizes the accumulation of grime in scratches.

6. Style and Design: Enhancing Aesthetic Appeal

Lastly, consider the style and design of the shower base to ensure it complements the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. Whether you prefer a sleek modern look or a more traditional design, there are shower bases available in various finishes and styles to match your taste.

Color Options: Most shower bases come in neutral shades like white, off-white, or gray. However, some manufacturers offer more customized colors and finishes to suit your bathroom's design.

Seamless Appearance: Many modern shower bases are designed to provide a seamless transition from floor to base, offering a minimalist look. These bases can be particularly effective in contemporary bathrooms.

Conclusion

Choosing the right shower base for the bathroom is essential for both functional and aesthetic reasons. With so many options available, it's important to consider factors such as material, size, durability, slip resistance, maintenance, and design. By taking the time to evaluate these elements, you can make an informed decision that will lead to a high-quality, durable, and visually appealing shower base that will serve you well for years to come.

Sodium Ascorbate Exp Prices Trend | Pricing | News | Database | Chart

 North America

In Q3 2024, the Sodium Ascorbate exp market in North America experienced a marked increase in prices, driven by a range of contributing factors. The primary drivers included robust global demand, supply constraints, rising production costs linked to limited feedstock availability, and currency fluctuations that bolstered import prices across the region. The quarter was marked by persistent supply disruptions due to plant shutdowns in major producing countries, which further tightened supply chains and fueled an upward price trend. These supply issues, combined with limited product availability and rising import expenses, sustained steady price increases throughout the quarter. The U.S. market, in particular, saw the most significant price adjustments, aligning with the overall regional trend. By the end of Q3, prices had risen by 14% compared to the previous quarter, underscoring a strong upward market environment. The quarter concluded with a price of USD 4950/MT for Sodium Ascorbate USP CFR New York, reflecting the continued positive sentiment in the market.

Asia Pacific

During Q3 2024, the Asia Pacific region saw a notable increase in Sodium Ascorbate export prices, driven by a combination of factors. Heightened demand from the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food preservation sectors spurred greater procurement activities. Supply constraints, supply chain disruptions, and elevated freight costs further contributed to price growth. Production levels remained stable, but strategic inventory management by suppliers played a role in pushing prices upward. China, in particular, experienced the most significant price changes, mirroring the regional trend. Additionally, the region faced challenges when China was hit by its most severe typhoon in 75 years, which made landfall on the east coast and severely disrupted port operations. Delays of 36-60 hours in Shanghai and the suspension of container operations in several ports like Ningbo added to logistical strains, driving up transportation costs, lead times, and inventory shortages. These disruptions highlighted the broader impact of ongoing global logistics challenges on commodity supply, including sodium ascorbate. This environment not only supported current price levels but also set the stage for potential further increases. By the end of the quarter, prices had surged by 14% compared to the previous period, signaling a strong upward trend. The quarter closed with Sodium Ascorbate USP FOB Shanghai priced at USD 4720/MT, reflecting a positive and profitable market outlook.

Europe

In Q3 2024, the European Sodium Ascorbate export market mirrored the price escalation seen in North America. The price rise was influenced by strong global demand, supply chain disruptions, and rising production costs. Shutdowns at key production facilities exacerbated supply constraints, driving prices higher. The increase in raw material costs, fueled by rising crude oil prices amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, also significantly impacted prices. Currency fluctuations, especially the strengthening of the Euro against the USD, heightened import expenses and influenced purchasing behavior, with demand outpacing supply. Germany experienced the most pronounced price increases, with Sodium Ascorbate prices climbing 13% compared to the previous quarter. These dynamics underscored a robust pricing environment, with the quarter concluding at USD 4840/MT, CFR Hamburg. This substantial price increase highlights a period of significant growth, driven by global supply challenges, currency shifts, and strong demand, positioning the market on a clear upward trajectory through Q3 2024.

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

so, today i got called by two jobs with the prelim like screening call before they book an interview and tell you more about the role (both in aged care). the first one was a scheduling role, and they asked me about my strengths and areas of improvement (that i blanked on, as per usual tbh) and other questions like that. i told them my expected salary was the lowest end, 69k.... when the salary window is 69k to like 75k.

the second one wanted to up me from what i originally epplied for (another scheduling position, at $36 an hour and i give up some weekends for an on-call turn between sw sydney and where i live... and also work 7am to 7pm or 11am to 7pm [idk why they listed 2 different times tbh]).... but they instead tried to sell me on upping to a case management role aged care home care packages, which is more pay ($41/hr to $44/hr depending on experience. idk if im fit for this role bc i dont have the thorough knowledge of the (australian) aged care act and also like at least 2 years exp in aged care managing complex needs etc. what i like about this place is that they've noticed i have skills and they want me to USE them!!! unlike fucking bs cadetship workplace kept denying me while i was there.... and keep denying still even though i've left.

and im mostly iffy with this bc i KNOW that the lady i usually use as my referee from my old work will dissuade me from doing this bc "you dont actually have those skills why dont you use mary (not her real name, my old mentor from cadetship job) instead???/ but i cant trust mary to say anything nice, actually, jacqi and i CANT use my old boss bc she'll again whinge and bitch and whine that "SHE HAS THE WRONG PERSONALITY FOR ADMIN AND CASE MANAGEMENT HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT GIVING HER A CHANCE AT THAT!!! AND FOR HIGHER PAY TOO!! DISGUSTING!!!" but jacqi (not her real name) would be happy to do the scheduling positions, mostly bc they're like 90% admin and customer service, which are the only things she's actually happy for me to apply for.

also doesnt help that the first scheduling job place is now in the same building as shit boss, and who knows i might have to share the lift with her on her lunch break while i go for an interview (if i progress to that stage). what a fucking nightmare working for place that constantly enjoyed putting me down bc i wouldn't/won't listen SPECIFICALLY AND ONLY to them for career advice.

Insights and Trends at MAD STARS 2023: Tom Goddard

Innovation in Out of Home Advertising

If you missed the MAD STARS 2023 conference, you missed a lot of amazing sessions from some of the brightest minds in the media and advertising industry. One of them was Tom Goddard, the president of World Out of Home Organization (WOO). In his keynote speech, he shared his insights and perspectives on the current state and future trends of OOH, the fastest-growing medium in the advertising landscape.

OOH: A Resilient and Dynamic Medium

Goddard began his speech by highlighting the remarkable recovery of the global OOH market following the COVID-19 pandemic, which severely impacted the industry in 2020. He cited the latest statistics from WOO INDEX, showing that global OOH spending reached $36.2 billion in 2022, surpassing the pre-pandemic level. He also projected that 2023 could see global OOH spending surpass $40 billion for the first time, driven by China's rebound and increased demand from other regions.

However, Goddard also acknowledged a challenge that OOH faces: its share of overall advertising expenditure has remained stagnant at around 5% for the past decade. He emphasized the need to address this challenge for the industry to thrive.

He then provided a regional breakdown of OOH spending, showing that North America and Europe are closely matched, with APAC leading the way, even with China's 2022 numbers lagging behind due to regulatory issues. He also gave insights into South Korea's OOH market, which mirrors the global trend of post-pandemic recovery. Although there has been a slight drop in the percentage share of total media spend, South Korea's 6% still outperforms the global average.

DOOH: A Game-Changer for OOH

Goddard then shifted his focus to DOOH (Digital Out of Home), which he described as a game-changer for OOH. He showed that global DOOH revenue continues to grow, now accounting for 37% of overall global OOH revenue. He also showed that digital penetration in major regions ranges from 30% to 40%, with Africa and LATAM lagging behind.

He praised South Korea's DOOH market, which has seen significant growth in recent years, aligning with the global forecast of 36% for 2023. He also highlighted South Korea's impressive market rankings, ranking 7th in the world and 3rd in APAC in both OOH and DOOH.

The Future of OOH: Driven by Innovation and Creativity

Goddard concluded his speech by highlighting the positive dynamics driving the OOH industry forward. These include digital transformation, media ownership consolidation, improved measurement, increased automation, programmatic channels, data analytics, challenges in the big tech world, and a resurgence of creativity.

He showcased some outstanding examples of creative campaigns in OOH, emphasizing the medium's unique ability to capture audience attention and deliver impactful messages. He also shared some innovative technologies and formats that are transforming OOH, such as interactive screens, facial recognition, augmented reality, holograms, and more.

Goddard wrapped up his keynote address by reaffirming OOH's relevance in the digital age, its adaptability to change, and its potential to capitalize on the challenges faced by big tech. He stressed that the creative community's renewed interest and ongoing innovation would continue to fuel the sector's growth.

Conclusion

Tom Goddard's keynote speech at MAD STARS 2023 was an inspiring and informative session that shed light on the ever-evolving world of OOH advertising. He provided a comprehensive overview of the exciting developments and trends in the OOH industry and left the audience with a sense of optimism about its future.
