Chequered Plate Price | Prices | Pricing | News | Database | Chart

In the second quarter of 2024, Chequered Plate prices in North America showed a strong upward trend, driven by a combination of factors that bolstered market dynamics. This period saw significant price growth due to supply chain constraints, strong demand from sectors like construction and automotive, and rising raw material costs, particularly for zinc and nickel. Additionally, maintenance outages at major steel mills, including Acerinox and Outokumpu’s Calvert facility, further tightened supply, pushing prices higher. In the U.S., prices saw the most notable increases, fueled by bullish market sentiment. Demand from the automotive and HVAC sectors for galvanized and value-added steel products contributed to the steady rise in prices. Despite a slowdown in overall manufacturing indices, construction and manufacturing activities continued to support the price surge. Compared to the previous quarter, prices rose by 14%, highlighting the strength of the market. By the end of the quarter, the price of SS Chequered Plate (6 mm) in Texas reached USD 4,641/MT, reflecting a period of significant price growth and market resilience in response to both supply constraints and growing demand.

In contrast, the second quarter of 2024 saw a negative pricing environment for Chequered Plates in the APAC region. The market faced a downturn, largely driven by weak demand from the construction and automotive sectors, alongside high raw material costs, particularly for nickel. Despite elevated production costs, market prices failed to rise due to sluggish demand, and seasonal slowdowns further exacerbated the oversupply issue. China, the key player in the region, experienced the sharpest price declines. Weak demand from the property sector and reduced infrastructure investments led to a steady downward trend, especially after the post-Labour Day period when downstream consumption dropped. Despite high production costs, the lack of strong end-user demand resulted in a bearish market. Prices in China fell by 1% compared to the previous quarter, with SS Chequered Plate (304-6 mm) Ex Tangshan closing at USD 2,179/MT. Overall, the market remained weak, marked by excess supply and low demand, with no major plant disruptions reported.

In Q2 2024, the European Chequered Plate market experienced a significant rise in prices, driven by various key factors. Rising alloy surcharges, increasing energy costs, and regulatory impacts from the EU Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), which focuses on securing strategic raw material supplies, all contributed to the upward price trajectory. Additionally, strong demand from the automotive sector, despite broader manufacturing slowdowns, supported the price increases, while the spring construction season further boosted demand for steel products. Germany saw the most pronounced price changes in the region, with robust demand from the automotive sector and favorable economic conditions, including an ECB interest rate cut. Energy costs, particularly for gas and CO2 emissions, had a strong correlation with metal prices, while geopolitical disruptions around the Suez Canal led to additional shipping surcharges, further driving up prices. Compared to the previous quarter, prices in Germany rose by 14%, with SS Chequered Plate (304-5mm) Ex Ruhr closing at USD 3,847/MT. This period was marked by positive market dynamics, with regulatory, economic, and seasonal factors all contributing to the price surge. No significant plant shutdowns were reported during this time.

8:00 - Hero told me that the Dragonslayers had requested their help around Dragesvard but it would probably be best that I stayed here. Not happy to be woken up so early but at least they remembered not to leave me a note this time because they STILL haven’t taught me to read.

10.00 - I stand corrected, they’d left a note by the fridge. I don’t know what it says but they also seem to have forgotten that I don’t have opposable thumbs.

12:00 - Went into Falconreach for my lunch because I can’t open the fridge. Luckily Gaelan had just made some turducken soup and he let me have a bowl with extra shredded turducken. I like Gaelan, he smells different from Serenity but he feeds me like she did.

14:00 - Flew into the Green Mage poking around one of the bushes near his weird shop door thingy. He said he was looking for schnozzberries for something to do with rubber ducks and captains of the chemical corps. Then he asked me if I wanted to buy anything. Everyone seems to forget that I don’t have opposable thumbs. But maybe I’ll poke Hero to look at a new dragon bed there. Only the finest will suffice for the mighty World Destroyer!

16:00 - Saw Aria and Ash sitting together on a chequered blanket with a basket of food next to them. Was considering trying to get some when I saw half of it was salad, and Hero says it’s bad manners to steal meat off people’s plates.

18:00 - Too many people in the inn for my liking so I went to see Elysia in Sunbreeze Grove for dinner. I like her, she smells of tea like the old Priestess did. I can’t remember her much, just flashes of a kind smile and grey hair, but I know Hero misses her a lot. Elysia had the really good dragon snax and she knows all the good spots when scratching my back.

20:00 - I miss my Hero :(

22:00 - Hero returned from Dragesvard, looking very tired and feeling very cold, but they did bring me some ice cream as a treat for tomorrow! They went straight to bed but did let me curl up on their chest for us to sleep. Life is good.

****

For Requiem Angel who requested: A day in the life of a small dragon when the hero is off heroing.

Excerpt from the Will of Edward, 2nd Duke of York

I bequeath the best sword and dagger that I have to my lord the King … also that my saddles and harnesses be equally divided amongst my henchmen, except that I wish that Rokell should have the best… I bequeath to Thomas Pleistede £20 in recognition for the graciousness that he showed to me when I was imprisoned in Pevensey. I bequeath to Philip Beauchamp my mail shirt that he wears and that was given to me by the earl of Huntingdon, may God absolve him, and in addition, my sword that he carries and £10. I bequeath to Thomas Beauchamp my brigandines, faced in red velvet chequered black and white and £10. I bequeath to John Popham my new brigandines of red velvet that Grove made for me, the bassinet that I wear and my best horse, except the above. I bequeath to Diprant my small mail shirt, the plate armour that my lord the Prince gave me called a breastplate [Brestplate], the plackart that belonged to my lord my father, may God absolve him, my huvette [houfett] and my steel skull-cap.

Karen Watts, "Armour at Agincourt – The Will of Edward, Duke of York", in The Battle of Agincourt: The Illustrated Companion (Yale University Press 2015)

Notes:

Watts' breakdown of the will is primarily interested in the evidence it reveals of the armour worn at the the Battle of Agincourt. However, it's worth pulling a few things out. The will was written at Harfleur a few weeks before the Battle of Agincourt, where York was killed - the highest ranking casualty. It was written in the aftermath of the Southampton Plot, where his younger brother, Richard, Earl of Cambridge, was executed for plotting against Henry V.

The bequest to the king:

The duke of York's first bequest is not to his family but to his king, Henry V ('mon Seignour, le Roy') and it is appropriately military and symbolic - his prized sword and dagger. It also reveals that the sword and dagger were personally owned knightly weapons.

It is probably not too surprising that York's first bequest was to Henry V, given that York had no children of his own and his brother and heir had very recently been executed. His sister, Constance of York, survived him by a little over a year but there are obvious reasons why he wouldn't bequeath her military items. York might have also been hoping that the request would result in Henry's care or acceptance of his young nephew and heir - the future Richard, Duke of York - but it's not clear from this excerpt if his nephew was mentioned. Given the context the excerpt was made in, it does seem striking that York doesn't bequeath his nephew any arms or armour.

I bequeath to Thomas Pleistede £20 in recognition for the graciousness that he showed to me when I was imprisoned in Pevensey.

York was imprisoned in Pevensey Castle in 1405 after being accused by his sister, Constance, of being involved in a conspiracy against Henry IV.

I bequeath to Philip Beauchamp my mail shirt that he wears and that was given to me by the earl of Huntingdon, may God absolve him, and in addition, my sword that he carries and £10.

I love the relationships and intimacies these items reveal.

Watts identifies Philip Beauchamp as an esquire of the duke's. The Earl of Huntingdon was possibly John Holland, the half-brother of Richard II who was killed for his part in the Epiphany Rising in 1400, or Guichard d'Angle, who died in 1380 and had been a companion of Edward the Black Prince. I think Holland is the more likely figure.

Watts identifies Thomas Beauchamp as part of York's household but singles out John Popham as "the most interesting" figure - he served on the campaign, where he was apparently knighted. He also received a life rent from York's manor of Vastern.

The items are given in detail. York apparently was a fan of a brigandine - "a body defence consisting of small plates riveted inside a textile covering" - as he had "many personal brigandines, including new ones produced by a recognised maker."

The plackart that belonged to York's father - Edmund of Langley - is a "plate defence" for the lower torso and could be worn with the brigandine - "yet another step towards full chest protection". But the latest development in that regard is the "breastplate" given to York by Henry V (when he was Prince of Wales) that York apparently believed needed to be explained and named. It was plate armour that finally protected the full chest.

Winter Solstice Writing Event!

Thank you @cuckoo-on-a-string for making this event and letting me take part this year!

Okay, so I've written a small, albeit slightly confusing, short from my original work! It's quite a personal piece, I'm basically using a self-insert here lol to somehow write away my stress as a med student- as well as toying with a new character concept.

For context, the short is set after a disaster involving Cain and a group of women who have been instructed by Satan to destroy Cain. However, one of these women ended up betraying the group, allowing Cain to massacre them, as she couldn't bring herself to kill her own son (I'm sure you can guess who this woman is now lol).

Excuse the grammar mishaps and I hope you enjoy!

Warnings: Strong language, mentions of struggling mental health and violence.

“So, how have you been settling in?”

Ah, she had spoken the sacred words and now Nasrin had to make the difficult decision of whether it was appropriate to answer honestly, precisely measure the exact extent of honesty or just simply lie.

They sat opposite each other, like opponents in a heated game of chess. Except, instead of ornate pieces on a very posh chequered board, between Nasrin and her tutor was a desk with two steaming cups of tea and a small plate of biscuits, delicately placed in an appealing pile, calling out for the girl to grab them by the fistful and shove them down her mouth. She was actually starving, having skipped breakfast to make it to this meeting. Nasrin had banked on her internal clock waking her up in time once she switched her alarm off, except that hadn’t happened and the poor girl had woken up with only ten minutes to get out the door and to her module review.

“Good!” She smiled, crossing one leg over the other. “Yeah, good. Been settling in well.”

“That’s great to hear. I know it can be difficult and a big change. I’m assuming you came straight from secondary school, right? No gap year?”

She nodded.

“How have you been handling the workload?”

“It’s a lot but I’m coping.”

“Yeah. It’s a big jump, isn’t it?”

“Yup,” she replied, her cheeks growing tired from keeping that polite smile on her face.

Nasrin could feel something rising in her. This year had been rough. Absolutely rough. What was supposed to be a fresh start, had began with tears, trauma and madness. Her blank slate had been tainted… with the literal Mark of Cain.

The girl couldn’t quite shake the feeling that she was in danger. It had finished. The Incident. And yet, Nasrin felt she was still somehow there. She had moved to a different universe, to a different part of the country, to the university of her dreams, doing a degree she had wanted to do for years, and still, she was back there.

Dried blood had made her clothes stiff. Her muscles had burned, aching, screaming for her to just give up. She had been on the ground, helpless, cut down by his men. As she looked up, through the eyeholes of her mask, a layer of sweat building on her face, Nasrin watched as he took one of the others by her hair, dragging her across the floor. The amber glow of dying fires surrounded them, along with screams. The rolling flames were reflected in her glossy eyes, adrenaline soaring through her, but doing little, apart from making her pulse pound in her ears.

He was there mere metres from her, open, no guards around him, dragging Nasrin’s comrade like she was naught but a heavy sack. He had a limp thanks to that huge gash in his thigh, a gift from Nasrin herself, when she had managed to get close enough.

Cain.

There had been a plan. A nice, simple plan. Everything had been accounted for: all possibilities apart from betrayal. The one who they had all looked up to couldn’t bring herself to do what needed to be done.

Nasrin remembered it all too well. The hole. The tear in space-time. Someone giving word to Cain and his men. The perfect window for revenge.

What should have been ‘detain and defeat’ became a fight for their lives.

Pick it up!

“What?” she had whispered.

Pick it up!

A disembodied voice growled in her head.

The sword! The sword is there! Pick it up!

Pick it up!

Pick it up!

Pick it up!

It demanded with heavy disdain for her. She was pathetic, writhing in her own blood, like a maggot in filth. Helpless. Weak. Beaten.

You’re supposed to be strong! You’re supposed to cope! Pick. It. Up.

She had pushed herself off the ground with all the strength she had. Then, she crawled forward, feeling around for whatever weapon that voice was hinting at. Once it was within arm’s reach, her fingers curled around the hilt and-

Now, lie.

Suddenly, Nasrin was back in the room, under flickering white ceiling light, with her tutor in front of her, staring at her with mild concern.

“Nasrin?” the woman asked, tilting her head to one side, “You alright, dear? You look a bit pallid.”

Lie.

“I’m fine. Just recovering from fresher’s flu, you know how it is,” Nasrin chuckled nervously.

“Oh of course! Always something going around. Just looking at your self-reflection, you mentioned you had anxiety, how have you been finding coping with that?”

This was probably a good opportunity to find out where the counselling services were for healthcare students, but the girl’s eyes fell on the clock on the wall behind her tutor. Was it even right to open this Pandora’s box right at the tail-end of their meeting? Drop a massive bomb on her tutor, admit she was actually not doing alright and then piss off back to her accommodation?

Lie.  

He thought she should lie. The stupid, overbearing eldritch fuckwit in the back of her mind. He was one to bloody talk, being so-called all-powerful and all-knowing and yet being completely blindsided by The Incident and Cain’s subsequent rampage.

At the same time, though, a part of Nasrin that wasn’t governed by the literal Devil, also thought it best to just lie and take her leave. It was embarrassing, coming into a degree and a job that you knew damn well was stressful as all hell and having a condition which makes you struggle with stress. She was a medical student for crying out loud! How would it look if a medical student, a future doctor, was riddled with anxiety?

Furthermore, why the fuck was she doing a damn medical degree when her part-time job was being a literal acolyte of Satan?!

What was she doing here?

And how had she not broken down already?

You’re supposed to be strong.

Ah, that was it.

5. Slanderous Details

Time moves slowly, but Mordecai is patient. Intent on ruining Jimbo from the ground up, he makes ample time not only to gather intel, but to flourish from a frightened young Jewish boy into the man his bar mitzvah celebrated. Jimbo's antics aside - which get slowly less severe - Mordecai focuses his attention on his standing with Mr Fiores and the company, biding his time and carefully altering his appearance to appeal to the underboss specifically.

Doing so is easy; he mimics tailored suits, monogrammed cufflinks and pointed Italian loafers, invests in a silver plated tie pin, even curating his posture and accent (he ditched the New York rustic for clear enunciation) to sound professional and look confident. He even invests in a fedora, though he rarely wears it, finding the ear restriction annoying.

Eight months down the line, after finally deciding it's time to enact his revenge, Mordecai skips work to spend time with his family instead. He draws (awfully) with Rose, engages Esther in a brief game of chequers (he won) and helps his mother with preparations for dinner (brisket and tzimmes, a family favourite), all the while watching the clock, knowing his future is inevitable.

His familial bliss is frequently interrupted by a whisper in the recesses of conscious thought that's convinced it's going to backfire. Perhaps that's why he makes time for each of the women in his life, to ensure they carry fond memories of him should the worst occur, but he won't let a mere possibility dictate his choices. His family are counting on him to succeed.

With everyone tucked safely into bed by ten, Mordecai sets to work becoming Elijah Katz; he slicks back wayward hair, clips a collar around his neck and dons his best three piece over a crisp, white shirt. Going through his collection of ties, the tom pauses on red silk thumbing the soft material in thought before extracting it from the drawer.

Despite being new to the temple, Nataliya's family brought the tie as their bar mitzvah gift for the young tom, presenting it privately as they left the event after realising the rest of the congregation gathered their finances for a commemorative gift. It's still the finest in his expanding collection, a striking colour as vivid as fresh blood as he fixes it over his shirt. It feels fitting for the occasion.

The routine of dressing for the part quells the negative voice questioning his methodology. Now isn't the time for second guesses or insecurity. Meeting his reflection's gaze while he tightens his tie to his throat, Mordecai is hit with a sense of peace. Everything collated, analysed and recorded since his assault have led to this evening, he's on the precipice of the future, whatever it may bring.

His pulse remains steady, his mind clear of doubt; he's never been more prepared.

Finally, he retrieves his most treasured possession; a silver plated pocket watch, the dust cover delicately etched with a series of interlocking cogs of all sizes. Presented by mother, the entire congregation pooled their funds and purchased it, to commemorate his first steps into manhood. He thumbs its etched cover affectionately, then clicks it open.

Almost eleven. Mordecai frowns and snapping it shut, slips the watch into his waistcoat pocket, making sure to secure it to a safety chain. Evisceration beacons.

His arrival at the launderette is uneventful. The enforcers in the lobby let him pass with only the briefest of looks, having become accustomed to his nightly visits. None of them are seemingly aware he's early, but that doesn't bother him; his business and theirs are very different focal points. They wait for direction, then savagely hunt their prey, while the tuxedo finds his own deserving targets. Like Jimbo.

Mordecai pauses at the door, makes final adjustments to his tie pin to disguise a steadying breath, then knocks. Almost immediately, it's wrenched open by a bodyguard, taking the adolescent slightly off guard. Before he can even request an audience with Mr Fiores, he's roughly dragged into the back room by a bicep and thrown into another lackey, who swiftly relieves him of his satchel and letter opener before forcing him to sit in a vacant chair.

Mordecai masks raised hackles and anxious tail flickers with a sour glare before pointedly brushing the creases out of his jacket sleeve. A chuckle flows around the room, all enjoying his irritation, except for the bodyguard going through his bag. Mr Fiores regards the events with indifference while a cigar belches smoke between fat fingers, the underboss seemingly almost bored, but intensely focused He knows I wasn't at the tracks.

He knows Jimbo likely snitched on his absence, sending a runner to incriminate him as soon as the clock ticked past nine. It's an inconvenience, but one Mordecai anticipated and prepared for. Knowing there's no point acting ignorant, he glances at Fiores for permission to speak. A silent wave of a palm, an expectant glare, and Mordecai has the floor.

"To begin, I assume you are aware of James' vendetta," he states. Anyone who's spoken to Jimbo in the last nine months knows of the Yid he's forced to manage and how much he despises the boy. "I wish to preface this discussion with assurance that the information I'm about to provide is not related to our disagreement, nor motivated by monetary gain."

Both statements are lies yet convincingly shared, not an iota of deception in his tone. He pauses there, awaiting leave to continue as Fiores seems to consider these claims with an extended draw on his cigar. After what seems like a lifetime, he's once again given the floor. Mordecai is only just getting started. "While my concerns are based on numerous inconsistencies, first and foremost, I must admit to being privy to sensitive information I fear I should not have been. At least, I assume a 'bookie' shouldn't have access to intake or purchase ledgers."

There's a subtle change in Fiores' expression, a narrowing of the eyes. He's paying attention. Mordecai pointedly looks at the man still holding his satchel and holds out a hand for its return. A second of subtle eye contact with Mr Fiores and it's handed over without difficulty. The tuxedo places the bag on the table and extracts numerous ledgers, passing each of them to the lackey to present to their boss.

With Jimbo shirking his work for months even before he'd settled on torturing Mordecai, it was easy to gather evidence of his laziness. The man willingly supplied almost everything in the notebook by foisting the majority of his duties onto the adolescent bookkeeper. Access to ledgers he shouldn't see made it easy to make duplicates with very subtle changes to final figures. The final part of his plan.

Mordecai meticulously fabricated a minor difference in every ledger in the last eight months; fifty cents or a dollar at most per day. It could be a forgotten bet or an annulled payout, a write-off most companies would swallow. The organisation is certainly capable of doing so, but Mordecai is relying on two factors; that a lowly bookie has had access to records, then those record were seemingly edited by a bet or two in between Mordecai and Jimbo.

He needs only to highlight the 'problem.'

"As a prudent man, I track my monthly income carefully," he continues once Mr Fiores has the ledgers, even if he doesn't open them. He's aware the man hates to read without true cause. "Based on the percentage we agreed not correlating with my salary, I created duplicates of ledgers placed on my workload to assess potential miscommunications, yet found nothing, which leads me to conclude my numbers and those submitted as final reports are inconsistent."

"I hope you realise what you're doing, Katz." Mr Fiores sits forward, leaning over the table to get into Mordecai's face. Dark ears fold back as the scent of cigar smoke permeates the air. "Tell me plain. I want to be sure you know how serious it is, before I look in these books."

When he first started working for Mr. Fiores, Mordecai would have folded then and there, stuttering - possibly begging - to have his books back and make a hasty exit. He'd been just a kid back then, a desperate and stupid kid getting way over his head in a dangerous profession. But that stupid kid has changed, and Mordecai holds his gaze without an issue, his tone flat and level. "I believe James Heartfell is embezzling funds from the organisation, with the intent of framing me."

Fiores stares back at him for a heartbeat, then two. Neither yields, the young lad tightening his jaw, until the underboss smiles and takes a toke of his cigar inches from Mordecai's muzzle. "You've grown into those suits, boy." The smoke burns his sinuses, but the tuxedo cat dare not flinch. "Let's hope you've not gotten too big for your boots on the way."

The next few hours are spent in relative silence. Mr Fiores has the official ledgers brought out to compare to the duplicates recently supplied, but it's obvious within the first ten minutes he's picked up on the differences. He has a lackey keeping track of each inconsistency, totalling up their phantom funds through all eight months of books, leading up to just three weeks after the assault and beginning of the disagreements.

As architect of the whole scheme, Mordecai sits quietly at the opposite end of the table, speaking when addressed or not at all. To his pleasant surprise, he's offered refreshments an hour into the arrangement and gladly accepts some tea. It's the first time he's tasted Earl Gray, a blend far too expensive for his monthly budget, and he honestly can't tell if it's superior blend or circumstances, but it tastes sublime.

Another hour or so - and another perfect cup of tea - Fiores has finished assessing the duplicate ledgers and informed Mordecai they won't be returned. He's completely fine with it; they've served their purpose. The underboss will probably burn them to disguise his own apparent failures once Jimbo makes his appearance at the launderette and by extension, remove any evidence of Mordecai's deception. A win-win.

When the man of the hour arrives, his welcome is similar to the one Mordecai endured; he's dragged into the back room by his tie and thrown into another bodyguard, who roughly removes his side arm, switchblade and ledgers. The young tom just sips his tea nonchalantly as an attempt to complain is met with a swift crack of fist to bone and a grunt of pain, a combination that gives Mordecai a moment's pause before he resumes enjoying his Earl Gray.

In his peripheral vision, Jimbo is manhandled to face Fiores as the day's ledgers are handed over. A trickle of red below a nostril soaking dull brown pelt and pooling above Jimbo's lip indicates he took the punch directly on the snout. A small smile touches Mordecai's lips for a half a second before his nonchalant mask is firmly back in place.

You could cut the tension in the room with a knife. As soon as Jimbo clocks the monochromatic feline lounging within a chair, he murrs angrily and pulls against the hands holding him securely in place. "What th'fuck you said 'bout me, boy? Huh?! I'll wring your scrawny ne-!" 

A swift kick to the back of a knee silences Jimbo's rants. His legs collapse and he sags with a gasp in their' grasp, until one of them grabs his hair and yanks his head up, forcing the pathetic man to meet Mr Fiores' gaze. The underboss is staring, smoking yet another cigar, and Jimbo goes pale in his scathing crosshairs. It's a look no one ever wants to get from a mob boss. "M-Mr Fiores, sir! Whatever he said, you know it ain't right. He's a lazy, lyin' heeb trying to-"

"On the contrary," Fiores interrupts briskly, not once looking away from the tawny feline. His voice seems to bring an end to his struggling and Jimbo hangs like a ragdoll, supported only by the two goons at his sides. "It would seem Katz worked exceptionally hard for the last few months, at the very least. What I'd like to know, before we get into details, is why he's been doing your duties on top of his own."

Before he can explain, the grifter is thrown to the floor and a boot pressed to his back to keep him there. The underboss leans closer around the table, thick smoke seeping out from between stained teeth as he speaks. "Denying it won't work either, Heart. He brought evidence - hundreds of duplicates, all of ledgers he shouldn't even have seen." 

The last word is delivered with a kick. Jimbo cries out as a steel toe capped boot cracks against his jaw. There's another crack, a whimper, and despite his resolve, Mordecai flinches; he's not privy to much violence in his role as a bookkeeper. While Jimbo deserves every ounce of pain he's receiving, it doesn't make it any easier for the adolescent to witness. He sets down his tea and closes his eyes, focusing on keeping his expression level, not wishing to seem affected.

"Haven't we been good enough to you?" Fiores asks next, leaning down to the bleeding, whimpering mess at his feet, fake disbelief in his tone. Hot ash falls to the man's back as the underboss looms over his prone form. "I gave you a job, a purpose, and this is how you repay me? Stealing, without the self respect to accept responsibility for your choice? I thought we had an agreement, Jimbo. An understanding."

A slight hand motion, and the boot comes off Jimbo's back. The man scrambles to his knees, sobbing and pleading, all pretenses of bravery abandoned as he begs. "I-I'm sorry for passin' on jobs! I didn't th-think it was a big deal! I won't do it again, I won't! But I swear on m-me Mam I ain't been takin' no money! I promise! That kike-"

When he cuts off with a gasp so swiftly after using another slur, the young feline dares can't help but open his eyes to see what transpired. He finds Jimbo frozen on all fours at the underboss' feet, eyes wide and pupils constricted as he stares down the barrel of his own side arm, Fiores leveling it to the man's forehead with an almost detached tiredness.

"I don't like liars," the man states. It takes all of Mordecai's self control to not shudder at that simple statement, knowing what's unfolding is his own doing, based on lies. Fiores casually pulls back the firing pin, the low click echoing in the silent room as the monochrome tom feels his heart beat harder in his chest. "I don't like people who steal from me either, because people who steal from me are idiots. There's no time for idiots in my business, Heart. Even ones I trusted."

Sharp yellow eyes shift to Mordecai. The feline freezes as with a single finger, Fiores beckons the adolescent over, an invitation he knows he's expected to accept. His legs leaden and heavy, it's an immense effort to stand and make his way around the table, his own gaze fixing on Jimbo's frightened gaze as he does, both their fates uncertain in Fiores' hand.

It's only when the pistol, the serial number scratched off and buffed away, is pressed into his palm that Mordecai knows how this is going to end. 

"It won't bite," Fiores mutters, his breath so close the heat of it raises the hairs on his arm. A titter of laughter lilts around the room as tentatively, Mordecai closes a hand around the handle. The smooth metal is cold to the touch, lighter than anticipated, but a little too large for his adolescent hand to manage. "There you go, son. Wasn't that easy?"

A meaty hand still wrapped firmly around the tom's, Fiores levels the barrel with Jimbo's head once more. Jimbo looks terrified, his whole body shaking, the stench of fear wafting off his pelt almost suffocating. Mordecai attempts to lower it but Fiores resists, adjusting the barrel to the center of the cowering man's forehead even as the adolescent's arm also begins to shake with uncontainable fear.

Stabilizing his aim, Fiores teases the boy's index finger off the handle and places it over the trigger, pressing down with his own to make sure it can't slip off. The trigger resists their pressure, the mechanisms within primed for purpose, the power of life or death resting in his palm. Just a few pounds of pressure separate him from an irreversible action.

"One shot between the eyes is all it takes, Little Bookie." Fiores whispers, flexing his index finger. "One well-aimed bullet will fell any man, even one built like a brick shithouse. All you have to do is-"

Fiores compresses the lad's finger on the trigger, pushing past the minimum force limit. The single shot sounds like an explosion in the small launderette back room, ricocheting off walls and compounding inside Mordecai's ringing ears. He flinches, black dots dancing in front of his eyes as anxiety and fear conspire to erase any complex thoughts, heartbeat so harsh in his throat the splatter if brain matter on his face is felt in excessive and revolting definition.

Not prepared for what just transpired - the sounds, the smell of gunpowder, the iron taste in the air or the blowback on his face - he drops the gun almost as soon as it's discharged, which clatters to the tiled floor. Laughter envelopes the room as dry heaving, Mordecai collapses against the table and frantically searches every pocket for a handkerchief.

Whether it's guilt or morbid curiosity, he can't help but look back when Jimbo's lifeless body tumbles to the floor, hole in his head openly smoking, with the acrid smells of burnt flesh and singed hair joining the onslaught of new scents. Finding his handkerchief, Mordecai immediately wipes his face and neck free of blood and tissue even as blood leaks out of the lifeless man at his feet.

A heavy hand on his shoulder almost knocks Mordecai over, but Fiores' smile is genuine when he turns around. He looks almost proud, creating a sick sensation in the adolescent's gut as he's patted on the back. He's offered another cup of tea - politely declined, to no one's surprise - then lead to the front of the launderette with promises of a raise if he'll accept Jimbo's old job, Fiores' men clearing up the 'mess' they left behind without a word.

When he gets home, he washes his face seven times before bed. Uncomfortably stiff in his sheets, Mordecai stares at the ceiling as he reflects on the evening. In essence, his scheme worked perfectly; Jimbo was removed from the company, is no longer a threat, and Mordecai inherited his better paid job. He'll be able to afford to rent a room, finally separate his family from the sordid affairs in which he engages wntirely, while earning enough to keep them housed and saving to move.

Despite his success, Mordecai doesn't sleep that night. With fresh memories of Jimbo's lifeless corpse haunting his mind when he closes his eyes, he's not sure he ever will again.

"I think the second half of the race was not so bad, once we got clean air and also on the inters at the end was not too bad. Just happy to survive.” via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

Chequered Plate Prices | Pricing | Price | News | Database | Chart | Forecast

 Chequered plates prices are a popular choice in various industries due to their durability, strength, and anti-slip properties. These plates are often used in industrial flooring, staircases, and other areas where safety is a top priority. When it comes to purchasing chequered plates, understanding the factors that influence their pricing is essential. The price of chequered plates can vary significantly based on a range of factors, including material composition, thickness, dimensions, and market conditions.

Material composition plays a crucial role in determining the cost of chequered plates. These plates are typically made from materials such as mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Each of these materials has its own set of properties that affect the overall price. For instance, mild steel chequered plates are generally more affordable due to the lower cost of raw materials. On the other hand, stainless steel chequered plates are more expensive because of their superior corrosion resistance and strength. Aluminum chequered plates, known for their lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties, also come at a higher price point compared to mild steel options.

Thickness is another critical factor that influences chequered plate prices. The thicker the plate, the more material is required to produce it, which in turn increases the cost. Thicker plates are often preferred in heavy-duty applications where maximum strength and durability are needed. However, for less demanding applications, thinner plates might be sufficient, offering a more cost-effective solution. Buyers should carefully consider their specific needs and select a plate thickness that balances performance with cost.

The dimensions of the chequered plate also have a direct impact on its price. Larger plates require more raw material, leading to higher costs. Additionally, larger plates may require specialized equipment for handling and installation, which can further increase the overall expenditure. It’s important for buyers to accurately measure the area where the plates will be installed to avoid purchasing plates that are too large or too small. Custom sizes are also available, but these typically come at a premium due to the additional processing involved.

Market conditions can also influence the prices of chequered plates. Like many other commodities, the price of raw materials used in the production of chequered plates can fluctuate based on supply and demand dynamics. For example, if there is a shortage of steel or aluminum, prices may rise, leading to an increase in the cost of chequered plates. Conversely, if there is an oversupply, prices may decrease. Additionally, economic factors such as inflation, currency exchange rates, and trade policies can also impact the cost of chequered plates.

Geographic location is another factor that can affect chequered plate prices. The cost of transportation and logistics can vary depending on the distance between the manufacturing facility and the delivery site. Buyers located closer to manufacturing hubs may benefit from lower transportation costs, while those in remote areas may face higher delivery charges. Additionally, regional demand and local competition can also influence prices. In areas where there is high demand for chequered plates, prices may be more competitive due to the presence of multiple suppliers.

The manufacturing process itself can impact the cost of chequered plates. Different production techniques, such as hot rolling or cold rolling, can result in varying levels of quality and cost. Hot rolled chequered plates are generally less expensive but may have a rougher surface finish and lower dimensional accuracy. Cold rolled plates, on the other hand, offer a smoother finish and higher precision but come at a higher cost due to the additional processing steps involved. Buyers should consider the specific requirements of their project when choosing between hot rolled and cold rolled chequered plates.

The supplier's reputation and brand also play a role in determining chequered plate prices. Well-established suppliers with a track record of providing high-quality products may charge a premium for their plates. However, this premium is often justified by the assurance of consistent quality, reliable delivery times, and excellent customer service. On the other hand, new or lesser-known suppliers may offer lower prices to attract customers, but buyers should exercise caution and thoroughly research the supplier's credibility before making a purchase.

In addition to the base price of the chequered plate, buyers should also consider additional costs that may be associated with their purchase. These costs can include cutting, bending, or other forms of customization required to fit the plates to specific project needs. Additionally, coating or surface treatments, such as galvanizing or painting, can add to the overall cost. These treatments are often necessary to enhance the durability and lifespan of the plates, particularly in environments where they are exposed to harsh conditions.

Finally, it is important for buyers to keep an eye on market trends and price forecasts. Staying informed about industry developments and pricing trends can help buyers make more informed purchasing decisions and potentially secure better deals. For instance, buying chequered plates during periods of low demand or when suppliers are running promotions can result in significant cost savings.

In conclusion, the price of chequered plates is influenced by a variety of factors, including material composition, thickness, dimensions, market conditions, geographic location, manufacturing processes, and supplier reputation. By understanding these factors and carefully evaluating their specific needs, buyers can make informed decisions that balance quality, performance, and cost. Whether for industrial, commercial, or residential applications, selecting the right chequered plate at the right price requires careful consideration and a thorough understanding of the market.

In the US market, Chequered Plate prices increased in the third quarter of 2023 due to stagnant demand amidst turmoil in the banking sector. Since mid-October, plant utilization rates remained below 75%, and low service center inventories and high raw material prices contributed to higher prices of finished steel. Mills received higher prices on the spot market, causing an increase in steel goods' spot prices. Service centers were cautious when adding inventory as future prices were uncertain. Nucor Brandenberg's new mill appeared to be a few months away from reaching full output. Congested port handling rates caused cargo handling rates to rise. The market was still digesting price increases from last month, and the reduction in mill production caused by weak downstream industry demand led to higher prices. Inflationary cost increases impacted almost all segments, forcing participants in the market to adjust their pricing. The US steelmakers continued to be unable to meet the market's demand, which helped keep steel prices stable. Domestic steel mills underwent extensive maintenance in 2023, worsening the supply shortage situation. As a ripple effect, the SS Chequered Plate (6 mm) prices for Ex Texas (USA) settled at USD 4568/MT.

Horner refuses to be drawn on target comeback date for Ricciardo after successful surgery on broken hand

Red Bull boss Christian Horner has refused to be drawn on when Daniel Ricciardo will be back racing after the Australian had "successful" surgery on his broken hand. Ricciardo – who was drafted in mid-season to replace Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri – underwent surgery on Sunday morning on his broken metacarpal, less than 36 hours after sustaining the injury in Friday’s second practice session in the Netherlands. The operation involved placing a metal plate and some screws to secure the bone, with Horner also confirming that the bone was “broken in multiple places”. HIGHLIGHTS: Watch the action from a sensational rain-hit Dutch Grand Prix as Verstappen secures record-equalling win “Had surgery this morning, got my first bit of metalwork so that’s cool,” Ricciardo said on social media when he posted a photo from his hospital bed on Sunday evening. “Big thanks to everyone who reached out and kept my spirits up. This ain’t a setback, just all part of the comeback.” Ricciardo’s injury was sustained when he took avoiding action after fellow Aussie Oscar Piastri crashed his McLaren into the barriers midway through second practice. Ricciardo was following close behind and was unable to bail out in time, choosing to hit the barriers rather than the stricken McLaren. In doing so, he wasn’t able to take his hand off the steering wheel before the impact. “He had an operation earlier today, he’s had several screws and a plate fitted to his metacarpal, it went well, it was successful,” said Horner, when he spoke to the press after the Dutch Grand Prix. “It was a fairly straightforward procedure so now it is all about recovery and we’ll see. For a normal human being that would be a couple of months, for a Grand Prix driver it’s often much shorter.” READ MORE: What the teams said – Race day in the Netherlands As for how much shorter that recovery process might be, “certainly not Italy” was all Horner would be drawn on in terms of when Ricciardo might be back in the cockpit.

Singapore would be the next target – although it is both one of the longest and most physically demanding races on the calendar.
