(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

Marine Corps:$3,538,000

Air Force: $23, 302,000

Army:$4,877,581,000

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.

Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia(for Ukraine's private sector):$1,575,000,000

International Security Assistance

International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement(for Ukraine and other countries affected by the invasion):$300,000,000

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.

Even if you have sailed before, sailing a yacht requires special knowledge and skills. Take a yacht handling and safety course to familiarize yourself with the intricacies of this vessel, navigation, safety procedures, and emergency procedures.

11. Be Prepared for Ownership Responsibilities 

Owning a yacht is an important obligation. It must be practical for yacht maintenance, travel planning, and logistics management. If you can't manage everything yourself, it's an option to hire a crew or to be in charge of yacht management services. 

12. Enjoy the Lifestyle 

Finally, once the purchase is complete and everything is ready to go, it's time to enjoy your new yacht. Explore new waters, welcome friends and family on board—the possibilities are endless. Yachting offers a unique lifestyle of freedom, relaxation, and adventure.

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.

Citrus Freight has left no stone unturned to offer you the right solution to export your first order. From analyzing the proper documentation till the freight forwarding services, our dedicated team made your export voyage easy and worry-free.

Importance Of Freight Insurance: Sea Cargo Protection

Freight insurance is an important safety net for sea goods because it protects against many risks and unplanned events that could happen during transport. Reliable coverage is an essential component of the shipping process because shipping-related losses can have a significant impact on businesses. Usually, freight insurance comes in two different forms:

1. Cargo Insurance: Provides protection for items being transported by air, sea, or land.

2. Hull Insurance: covers machinery and basic components as well as physical damage to ships or boats.

This blog will help companies reduce possible losses by investigating the hazards, advantages, and factors to be considered in selecting the appropriate insurance for their marine freight.

Risks Linked With Cargo Transportation

1. Natural disasters: Hurricanes, storms, and strong seas can harm ships and cargo.

2. Accidents: Goods may be lost or damaged in a collision or tragedy occurring on the route.

3. Theft and Piracy: At ports or sea, stolen commodities continue to pose a serious concern.

4. Overall Average: In times of crisis, it can be necessary to sacrifice some cargo in order to save the ship and its crew.

Through financial protection for commodities during transit, marine cargo insurance helps reduce these hazards.

Benefits Of Freight Insurance

For companies involved in shipping, freight insurance is absolutely essential since it offers thorough protection. Usually, its premiums run between 0.3% and 0.5% of the economic worth of the goods. The primary benefits include:

Financial Protection: Lessens financial burden by covering the value of products in the event of loss or damage.

Risk Mitigation: This allows firms to operate with more confidence by transferring possible risks to the insurer.

Compliance: Insurance coverage is required by a number of international trade agreements and shipping contracts.

Stress-Free Operation: Businesses can concentrate on their primary operations without any additional anxiety since they have sufficient insurance.

Types Of Freight Insurance

Policies of freight insurance are designed to satisfy particular requirements.

1. All-Risk Insurance: Provides comprehensive protection against the majority of hazards, such as vandalism, natural catastrophes, and transit-related damage.

2. Named Perils Insurance: This type of insurance concentrates on particular hazards that are specified in the policy terms, such as theft, fire, or crashes.

3. Total Loss Insurance: Guards against total cargo loss as a result of major events like fires or shipwrecks. This is also referred to as general average coverage.

Every kind of insurance covers different issues; thus, it is essential to select a policy that fits the nature of the cargo and its transportation path.

Considerations For Choosing The Right Insurance

Several considerations must be made while choosing the right freight insurance:

Type of Goods: Comprehensive coverage is typically required for high-value, fragile, or perishable items.

Transit Route: More protection may be required for riskier routes, such as those that are vulnerable to bad weather or piracy.

Budget Constraints: Effective risk management is achieved by balancing the cost of insurance with the necessary level of coverage.

Evaluating these factors helps companies to choose a strategy that sufficiently protects their goods.

Who Needs Freight Insurance?

Many parties involved in the shipping and maritime sectors benefit from freight insurance, including:

Ship Owners: Hull insurance is necessary to safeguard vessels from liability claims, physical damage, or loss.

International Shippers: Ensure that commodities are protected from theft, natural disasters, or piracy during transit.

Port Authorities: Protect from responsibility for loss or damage to items under their supervision.

Marine Contractors: Ensure the safety of apparatus and operations in offshore industries, such as oil and gas exploration.

Charterers: When leasing vessels for cargo transport, it is necessary to obtain coverage for potential liabilities.

Depending on operational circumstances and specific hazards, the necessary insurance coverage may differ.

Conclusion

Reducing the hazards connected with sea cargo movement depends mostly on freight insurance. It guarantees financial stability, guarantees trade regulation compliance, and gives peace of mind while in transit. Knowing the many kinds of coverage that are accessible and the risks involved helps companies to make wise decisions that protect their products and therefore reduce possible losses. Investing in goods insurance is not just a need for companies that rely on marine cargo movement; it's also a precaution.

"Looking forward to the season of life."

Blanimir Grazdanov (30, Bulgaria), a new foreign striker of the Samsung Fire Department, was confident. He was confident of his success and did not hide his aspiration for a new challenge.

Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance, led by head coach Kim Sang-woo, started off-season training in Shizuoka, Japan on Sunday. For a week through Saturday, the team will hold four practice matches with Japanese powerhouse Toray Arrows to focus on actual training sessions. The key is maximizing the effects of Grazdanov.

Although he joined the team in a hurry and is not in perfect condition due to finger and back pain, Grazdanov is adapting quickly. "Every day is getting better. I need to adapt more to some areas, but I am getting better," Grazdanov said at the team's lodging on Wednesday.

Grazdanov was not the preferred option Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance had in mind. After giving up his contract with Yosvani at a tryout for foreign players held in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates in May, Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance expected to have an advantage as sixth place in the regular season league last season.

KB Insurance, ranked seventh, renewed its contract with Villena, and OK Financial Group gave up Leo, allowing them to choose from various options. However, the team fell to sixth place in the draw. After much consideration, they chose Mattei Kok, who displayed explosive power in Woori Card. They believed that selecting experienced players in the V-League would reduce their risk.

However, Mattei was not accompanied by the player. After arriving in Korea in early August, the player was not in a good physical condition than expected. There were concerns that his right knee injury could be prolonged. The club doubted that although it had three months to spare before joining the team, rehabilitation was not carried out properly.

The conclusion was replacement of players, and outside heater Grazdanov joined the team. So far, I am satisfied. He is showing passion by hanging out with teammates regardless of food. "Life in Korea is so good. I just regret that I cannot breathe with my teammates properly due to injury," he said.

Grazdanov was confident that he would play in the V-League. Watching the coaching staff of various clubs agonizing over his choice during the tryout, he reportedly foresaw his joining in some form. "On the contrary, I joined early. I thought I would be called anywhere."

Grazdanov was deeply impressed by the Samsung Fire Department. "They are a young team. They have energy and strong fighting spirit." I believe that many experiences will help them as well. Starting his professional career with CSKA Sophia in 2012, Grazdanov joined Besiktas (Turkiye), Glodo Vanka (Italy), Solhan Spor Kulubu (Turkiye), and Hekimoglu (Turkiye), and ranked fourth in the Bulgarian league last season.토토사이트

The goal is clear. "I want to display the best performance and best performance in every game. I look forward to the season of my life by lifting the trophy," Grazdanov said. "This is my first Asian challenge. I was very curious about Asian countries. I will put everything into it."

Another type is the endowment life insurance policy, wherein the insurer pays the insured the amount equivalent to the number of years required. Joint life policy helps a couple to ensure safety in cases of loss. In this type of insurance, the couple can make individual installments or joint payments to form a lump sum amount. This amount can be used by either of the two in case of death of any of the two.
