(Not a lore post) RR!AU Lucifer and Vox

Nobody asked, but it's been marinating in my thoughts for awhile.

In the context of my RR!AU, I think there's a lot of potential for AppleTV/StaticApple/whatever the relationship name for Lucifer/Vox is.

This can be taken platonically or romantically, but here are a few reasons why I think their AU relationship in general is pretty neat.

For one-- It's not reliant on Alastor. Alastor is not the "glue" that connects or introduces them! It's just so fascinating to explore how they'd meet naturally by those circumstances alone.

The next reasons get more intense.

CW: depression

The two dominant traits I've characterized for RR!Vox is that a.) he's super FAKE and b.) he's has existential depression(one day I will find a way to articulate how I feel about post-Hell, I know-- ironic, nihilist Vox).

Lucifer sees a sliver of himself in that aspect of Vox. The landscape of Hell? It's just so...eugh. Really easy to lose hope in Sinners because of that. The difference is that Vox sought out to "help" Charlie, and is actively trying to create a challenge for himself. On paper, this seems like a really good idea - but Lucifer still can't trust sinners, so he's like. I want to make my daughter happy AND I need insurance, so soul pact it is!

From my "Contract" comic: Lucifer was able to see instantly through Vox's façade. He lets Vox do it anyway though, because it's entertaining, in a nice way. It might be fake, but I feel Lucifer acknowledges and respects the effort it takes to be cordial and please people(at least to the wide extent that Vox can).

This screenshot is from a infodump convo with my bestie, edited because I first wrote it as "redemption" when I really just mean to 'better himself'.

That said, none of them needed to accept the soul deal from eachother...so it's very much a mutual balancing act.

Anyway, my AU is /gen but hey, I'll indulge in anything that seems interesting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do they accept the temptation? To be upon the arm ( or lap ) for a Warlord is esteem very little have the chance to claim, after all. Though, the target upon his back will also be upon their own. Does the risk outweigh the reward? Or is it simply too daunting of an idea? Do tell...

What's actually in the Ukraine bill-a breakdown

Navy:$976,405,000

Marine Corps$69(nice),045,000

Space Force:$8,443,000

Defense-wide(bolded for being important): $27,930,780,000. Of this, $13,772,460,000 is directly for aid to Ukraine, and $13, 414,432,000 is for replacement and reimbursement for both physical aid and service aid(ie training) given to Ukraine. In other words, only the first half is actually going to Ukraine(mostly in the form of physical things like vehicles, guns, ammo and equipment and not just money) while the second half never leaves America.

Procurement:$13,276,910,000, subdivided into

Missile Procurement, Army:$2,742,757,000

Atomic Energy Defense Activities

Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation for etc etc:$143,915,000

Federal Salaries and Expenses for etc etc: $5,540,000

Health and Human Services

Refugee and Entrant Assistance: $481,000,000. This provision specifically allows the relevant agencies to use this money for grants or contracts with nonprofits, which imo means it's likely that most of this will go towards aiding Ukrainian refugees in Europe, and thus that this isn't just money for moving Ukrainians to America.

Department of State

Diplomatic Programs to respond to the situation in Ukraine and countries affected by said situation: $60,000,000

United States Agency for International Development

USAID operating expenses appropriated to the President for response to etc etc: $39,000,000

USAID Office of Inspector General: $10,000,000

Bilateral Economic Assistance

Transition Initiatives(meaning transition to democracy): $25,000,000

Economic Support Fund(for Ukraine's government): $7,899,000,000. A provision states that none of this money may be used for pensions(as an anti-corruption measure) and that at least $50,000,000 of this amount must be used to respond to food insecurity caused by the war.

Foreign Military Financing Program(for Ukraine and other countries affected by the invasion): $1,600,000,000

Some of the more impactful general provisions of the act:

The transfer of long-range ATACMS to Ukraine was required by the act, and that appears to have already happened. The President was given the option to not do so if he determined it would be detrimental to America's national security interests, but it appears he didn't.

The Secretary of State was directed to insure as much in-person monitoring as possible for funds appropriated for Economic Support, Assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia, International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement, and Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs

The amount of money spent out of the total amounts budgeted for Economic Support and Assistance for etc etc may not exceed half the total amount of funds given by all donors to Ukraine. This basically means that, in terms of economic assistance, Europe has to do at least as much spending as we do.

The two headings for economic assistance mentioned above(totaling to $9,474,000,000) are loans that the President may only forgive in the following circumstances: up to 50% of the debts incurred by these loans may be cancelled by the President at any time after November 15th, 2024, while the remaining 50% may be cancelled at any time after January 1st, 2026. Both cancellations would be subject to Congressional approval.

How is kylo connected to the insurance agency? I feel like thats a p important part of the movies so it'd have to be in real life, right?

The ceo's sugarbaby?

hold on a second i’ve given this some thought

first order financial is technically based out of london and is helmed by a weird reclusive founder that apparently never leaves england and only communicates with his acting CEO (hux, who is a british transplant miserably living in new york city and is clearly some form of nepo hire because no one gets promoted so high that young but he runs the place like the fucking navy so you can’t ever bring it up or he’ll make your life hell) through suspiciously grainy skype calls with spoofed IP signatures. a lot of people think he actually lives on some tropical island with no extradition policy just in case first order blows up but no one has proof of it

kylo cycles through a lot of jobs and places and circumstances between the ages of sixteen and twenty-six, including but not limited to; one single semester of college (web design), a year in an apartment in los angeles in which he did not pay rent once, two weeks of illegally living out of his car in a national park, a job at a gas station, a job at a subway, a job at a subway inside a gas station, a short stint in the marines (dishonorably discharged), a moment as a very peripheral member of a heist crew followed by three months in a canadian jail, a job as a taxi driver in brooklyn (fired for recklessness after one final unhappy customer), and a small period as a moderately employed construction worker

during a stretch of time which he still modestly refers to as a “gap year” but was actually like eight months of doing drugs in italian nightclubs when he was twenty-three kylo meets a girl who introduces him to a guy who introduces him to some other guys who encourage him to drop the twitch channel idea and go all in on the contract killer thing. not only is he willing to do it he also ends up being unexpectedly good at it. he learns a couple other languages and hones his skills and after a year or so he changes his name and heads to the UK to try to figure out how to advertise his service without getting like put in prison forever or some such thing

in the process of this first order is going through some complicated internal power struggles predicated on the fact that basically the entire business is one big insurance scam and the crux of this is that snoke’s business partners are trying to oust him. his solution to this is to hire the first person he can find that’s willing to take them out and offer them however much money they want for it. kylo makes like a million dollars in one go but snoke is so rich he doesn’t care. kylo does whatever for this guy because he pays more than anyone else; snoke becomes a repeat customer and gets used to having an attack dog that will take out anyone that threatens his schemes

the guy willing to commit misdemeanors to expose first order’s massive fraud operation is of course poe, who has gained kind of a reputation for very loud and disruptive investigative journalism and activism in multiple cities. he’s extremely persistent and determined but not very subtle about his efforts so basically everyone at first order that is high up enough to know about the fraud knows someone is on their trail. snoke assumes poe is being fed information from someone on the inside (he isn’t, he’s just good at looking for stuff in places no one else does) so he sends kylo to the US to stake the place out and see if he can’t 1. find out who the mole is and 2. eliminate poe, but poe gets arrested before kylo can finish the job, bringing us to the top of the movie. this last bit is mostly because i was laughing really hard at the idea of kylo showing up in new york after very few people were told he even existed only for hux to realize that his boss’ pet hit man is the terrible driver that he once pulled strings to get fired from a taxi job in brooklyn.

Advice Needed!

So... I'm considering joining the U.S. Airforce, or possibly the Navy. I'm not built to be a Marine. But I'm having a hard time weighing the pros and cons. So maybe some advice from anyone or an outside opinion would help?

I'll start with the pros.

I get to learn a trade that could help me in the future (depending on testing scores and my career within the Airforce)

I can get stationed around the world (giving me a chance to travel at little to no cost)

I can apply for college at no cost

Full retirement plan and benefits (including insurance which I'm losing April 1st)

This will give me an opportunity to get away from home

High quality of life vs other branches

Cons

Leaving my supportive boyfriend behind (he's decently upset i'm considering the military though)

Not as much freedom as a civilian lifestyle

Being held under contract for 4-8 years/ having my life run for me

Lotttts of physical training

Basic training. *shudders*

A lot less free time. (no concerts, no music, no tumblr/writing, etc.)

I feel like it's a possible "waste" of my younger years

BUT this is all assuming they even take me into consideration. I have a genetic thyroid disease that requires medication and has no cure. And I was previously institutionalized (that was years ago though). I've been more than 6 months off my anti-depressants which I've heard is what they require. So I guess that's one of the biggest deciding factors in whether this path is even an option for me.

I've heard the Airforce is lenient with wavers though? Idk...

Any advice or comments would mean a lot! I know this is really just a soul searching thing, but outside advice I find always helps me.

Certifications: Ensure the captain holds the necessary certifications, like a USCG (United States Coast Guard) license or equivalent, which demonstrates their ability to operate vessels safely.

Experience: Look for captains with experience in boat delivery, especially with the type of boat you're transporting. They should have experience in both handling the boat and navigating specific waters (such as open ocean, inland waterways, or restricted waters).

2. Insurance

Make sure the captain carries proper insurance to cover any potential damages that could happen during the delivery. This should include liability and marine insurance, protecting both the boat and the captain from financial loss.

3. Costs and Payment Structure

Flat Rate or Hourly: Understand how the captain charges—whether it’s a flat fee for the entire delivery or an hourly rate.

Additional Fees: Ask about extra costs such as fuel, docking fees, permits, and accommodations (if the journey is long and the captain needs to stay overnight).

Payment Terms: Be clear on payment terms before signing a contract, including any deposits required and final payments.

4. Delivery Timeline

Clarify the expected delivery timeline. Boat deliveries can take time, especially if the journey involves multiple stops or tricky weather conditions. Make sure both you and the captain agree on a realistic timeline.

5. Route Planning

The captain should plan a safe and efficient route for delivery. This includes checking weather conditions, tides, and any potential obstacles (like bridges or shallow waters).

Ask if the captain will be making stops for refueling, rest, or supplies, and ensure that the route is feasible for the type of boat being delivered.

6. Communication

Establish clear communication channels before, during, and after the delivery. A professional captain should keep you updated on the boat's progress, especially if there are delays or changes to the route.

Make sure the captain has a reliable method of communication (e.g., satellite phone or radio) for emergencies or to stay in touch.

7. Safety Protocols

The captain should be knowledgeable about safety protocols and ensure the boat is properly equipped with safety gear such as life vests, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits.

Ask the captain about emergency procedures and how they would handle unexpected situations like bad weather or mechanical failure.

8. References and Reviews

Ask for references or check reviews from previous clients. A reliable and experienced captain should have positive feedback and can provide testimonials or reviews to help you make an informed decision.

9. Conditions of the Boat

The boat delivery captain should inspect the boat before departure to ensure that it’s seaworthy for the trip. Any mechanical issues should be addressed before the delivery starts.

You should have a clear understanding of what condition the boat should be in before departure and if any maintenance is needed before transportation.

10. Contract Agreement

Always get a written contract that outlines all the terms of the delivery, including payment, route, insurance, and any other important details. This protects both you and the captain in case of disputes or issues during the delivery.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a smoother, safer boat delivery and avoid any surprises along the way.

Marine Survey Cost: What Influences Marine Survey Costs? A Detailed Breakdown

**Title: Marine Survey Cost: What Influences Marine Survey Costs? A Detailed Breakdown** When considering the purchase or maintenance of a vessel, understanding marine survey cost is crucial. In this article, we will explore various factors that influence marine survey cost and provide insight into why these costs can vary so widely. To begin with, the size of the vessel is a primary determinant of marine survey cost. Larger boats require more time to inspect, which directly affects marine survey cost. For instance, a yacht over 50 feet may demand extensive inspection of its engine systems, structural integrity, and on-board technology, each of which can significantly add to the overall marine survey cost. Another significant factor in marine survey cost is the type of survey being conducted. Different surveys such as pre-purchase surveys, insurance surveys, and appraisal surveys carry different scopes and details, thus influencing marine survey cost. A pre-purchase survey, which is very thorough, usually has a higher marine survey cost compared to an insurance survey which might be more focused on particular aspects of the boat relating to insurance claims. Location also plays a critical role in determining marine survey cost. If a boat is located in a remote area, the travel expenses incurred by the surveyor must be factored into the marine survey cost. Marine survey cost can therefore be higher in areas that are less accessible or farther from major ports where most marine surveyors are based. The condition of the vessel impacts marine survey cost as well. Boats that are old or poorly maintained often require more detailed inspections to assess their worthiness and safety, increasing the overall marine survey cost. On the other hand, newer and well-maintained vessels might attract a lower marine survey cost due to fewer complexities during the survey process. Seasonality can affect marine survey cost too. During peak boating seasons, when demand for surveys is high, some surveyors may charge more, impacting the overall marine survey cost. Conversely, during off-peak times, you might find that marine survey cost is slightly reduced. It's important to choose a reputable firm like Sun Coast Marine Surveying & Consulting for conducting marine surveys. The expertise and efficiency of experienced surveyors at Sun Coast Marine Surveying & Consulting can mean quicker surveys but with absolute adherence to detail, potentially affecting the marine survey cost. Marine Survey Information is vital for anyone involved in the maritime industry. With professional insights offered by entities such as Sun Coast Marine Surveying & Consulting, stakeholders can make informed decisions based on comprehensive assessments where marine survey cost is clearly justified by the value provided. Ensure that you inquire about all possible fees that might contribute to marine survey cost when contracting services. Some surveyors might charge additional fees for services such as oil analysis or ultrasonic testing, all adding to the total marine survey cost. Regardless of your specific needs or circumstances surrounding your vessel, having a clear understanding of factors influencing marine survey cost is indispensable. This knowledge not only prepares you for financial planning but also ensures that you get the best service your money can afford. Marine Survey Information should always include a breakdown of potential costs you might incur during a survey. Insightful discussions regarding marine survey cost with professionals in the field can provide transparency and prevent any unexpected financial outlays. In conclusion, several factors such as size and condition of the boat, type of survey needed, location, and market conditions play critical roles in determining marine survey cost. When planning for a marine survey, consider all these elements to adequately prepare for the financial commitment involved. Remember, your understanding of marine survey cost can greatly influence your experience and satisfaction with the maritime service received.

How to Process Your First Export Order

The term export refers to the concept of a broad network of businesses in international trade. An exporter needs meticulous planning for the particular perishable good he/she is going to promote on the international market.

Processing of an export order is not simple. You can get a few orders at the start of your venture. If you are not getting regular orders, you will not be able to build brand recognition and earn the trust of the audience. The exporters must receive steady orders to handle the export process with the importers efficiently. 

Let’s briefly explain the processing of an export order. The steps are listed below:

Receive the order

Generally, the processing of an export order begins with receiving the order. As per an export order, a formal agreement in the form of a document is signed between the exporter and importer before the exporter starts producing or sourcing the goods. An export order can be in the form of a pro forma invoice, purchase order, or letter of credit.

Confirmation of Order

After receiving an export order, the exporter should examine the terms of the contract. This stage plays a crucial role, as it depends solely on the exporter whether to confirm the order or not.

The export includes verification of the perishable product’s description, payment in terms of the shipping process, insurance coverage for the loss of goods during transit, releasing payment for documentation, and finally the negotiation of documents with the bank. After addressing all these necessary formalities, and if it meets expectations, the exporter confirms the order.

Obtaining a License

The Indian exporter needs to obtain an authorized license from the government of India after receiving an order from the importer. The exporter can submit an application to the Export Trade Control Authority to obtain a valid license. 

Letter of Credit

The importer sends the letter of credit along with the export order, or the exporter can request the importer for the letter of credit.

Foreign Exchange Formalities

An Indian exporter must adhere to the foreign exchange rules under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA). They need to submit a declaration stating that:

The foreign exchange earned by the exporter must be handled according to RBI rules and within the specified time.

Shipping documents and transactions should be conducted through authorized foreign exchange dealers.

Payment for transporting perishable goods must be collected using approved methods only.

6.   Executing the Order

The exporter must make the proper arrangements to execute the export order. 

Mark and pack the goods based on the importer’s specifications.

Obtain an inspection certificate from the Export Inspection Agency to make an arrangement for pre-shipment inspection.

Get an insurance policy from the Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECGC) for credit risk protection.

Get a marine insurance policy as needed.

Assign a forwarding agent (customs house agent) to handle customs and related matters.

7.   Responsibilities of a Forwarding Agent

The forwarding agent needs to obtain a permit from the customs department to ship the goods.

The forwarding agent must give all the required details of the goods, including nature, quantity, and weight, to the shipping company.

A shipping bill or order is prepared by the agent.

The forwarding agent prepares two copies of the port challan and pays the dues.

The ship’s master is responsible for loading the perishable cargo onto the ship. The goods should be loaded on the ship in the presence of the customs officials, as mentioned on the shipping order.

Once the goods are loaded, a receipt is issued by the master of the ship. 

8.  Bill of Lading

When an Indian exporter hands over the receipt issued by the ship's master to the shipping company, they receive a Bill of Lading in return. The Bill of Lading is an official document that provides a detailed description of the perishable goods loaded onto the ship, including their type and quantity and the name of the port of destination.

9.  Advice for the Shipment

Before dispatching the perishable shipment onto the ship, the exporter sends the shipment advice to the importer so that the latter is present at the port of unloading to receive the exported goods. Along with the advice note, the exporter sends a copy of the packing list, a non-negotiable copy of the bill of lading, and the commercial invoice. 

10.  List of Documents

The exporter sends a list of documents to the importer’s bank, which includes:

Commercial Invoice

Packing List

Certificate of Origin

Marine Insurance Policy

Letter of Credit

GR Form

Bill of Exchange

Bill of Lading

Bank Certification

11.  The Acquisition of Export Revenue 

The exporter must complete certain banking formalities to realize the proceeds from an export. These are usually initiated upon the submission of the bill of exchange. The exporter receives the payment in foreign exchange.
