Managed Cloud Services: Panacea for Enterprises

In today’s ever-evolving and fast-paced business landscape, organizations that do not keep up with technological advancements and seek innovative solutions will be left behind. Organizations across industry verticals in this digital era are relying more and more on new-age technologies, specifically cloud computing infrastructure to stay ahead of the curve.  Having existed for many decades now, cloud computing infrastructure continues to offer numerous business benefits to organizations of all sizes. 

Elasticity, scalability, pay-per-use model, streamlining of operations, and other advantages it brings lead to significant improvement in the organization’s bottom line.   

While cloud technology delivers several business advantages, managing and optimizing these services can be challenging and time-consuming as well.  Businesses have to depend on IT expertise and 24/7 support to efficiently leverage cloud services, but not all of them have the resources to house an internal IT team that can keep pace with the constantly evolving technology landscape. This is where managed service providers or MSPs can play a crucial role in supporting organizations to effectively and efficiently navigate the cloud landscape.

Meet The OC: Bec Querel

This is an explanatory writeup of one of my Original Characters (OCs). Nothing here is necessarily related to a meaningful fiction you should recognise and is shared because I think my OCs are cool and it’s cool to talk about OCs you make.

Bec Querel lived the life – such as it was – of every child genius. Attaining truly prodigious achievement before adolesence, she burst onto the scene of national significance as a child prodigy and mutant, and just as quickly faded once it was realised that she wasn’t going to do anything of particular noteworthy significance compared to the latest celebrity starlet inclined to lose her underpants in public.

Furthermore, Bec realised that she was in possession of knowledge and understanding that was well beyond her means to communicate. Without a solid social grounding – she had blurred her way through her schooling in pursuit of more knowledge – she had realised she lacked a mature communication base. While in this state, she was approached by Dr Marion Shepherd of Project Corona, and asked to rejoin the project.

Seeing an opportunity to expand her skill base, and to perhaps use her mathematically-refined powers for some good, Bec agreed, and began her two-year journey through high school once more.

Bec Querel is a genius. She’ll tell you as much, but only if you ask. It’s not something she feels the need to volunteer, because that isn’t a thing that Ordinary And Reasonably Standardised experiences involve. An insufferable child genius she has resolved to redo her adolescent education to pursue not an optimal path through to maximised resources and instead stabilising social experiences that result in her not being a potentially Morally Ambiguous Doctorate Scientist (M.a.D).

Bec Querel is a living star, her biology somehow managing to overcome the herculean task of room-temperature fusion. She absorbs solar energy and emits heat, and her body operates like a nuclear furnace. Many of her internal organs are nonfunctional or vestigial, and her digestive tract is almost ornamental [citation needed]. Her body sustains itself through a superefficient permutation of breathing – as long as she has oxygen and carbon atoms to access, she can continue generating energy. Further, her cells emit most of their waste in the form of low-key emittant radiation, which she can focus into concentrated bursts and blasts.

As a hero, as an ally, she is a point of blatant utility. Since her mutation is effectively a nuclear fusion energy battery inside her own body, she is capable of powering some truly ludicrous devices, and uses that energy to drive devices that would otherwise be untenable to use in combat scenarios. It’s all very good to have a flash-vaporiser that can knock people unconscious by dehydrating them for an instant or overloading their optic nerves, but unless you can power that kind of device repeatedly, it’s not going to be useful in most active conflict environments. Bec is the power supply, and everything else she does is filtered through those tools. This even includes the imps that follow her around, three small fire goblins that she keeps contained with an electrically-powered rune portal to give them freedom to hang around her.

Bec’s powers are ultimately limited in their finesse. She wields radiation the same way one might wield a club, and lacking any good visual metaphor for the practice, she instead has to rely on fine-tuned processes and mathematical formulas that need adjustment on the fly. With this in mind, rather than causing irreperable harm, she has to keep her radiation tools somewhat inexact and imprecise – reducing people’s reaction times and making them feel nauseated is often the limits of her radiant prowess. Further to that, her ability to use heat and light to blind and confuse enemies are fairly two-dimensional in their applications, meaning that most enemies who come prepared can best them, usually with heavy optic shielding.

Finally, Bec may be a genius but that doesn’t make her cunning; her ability to outwit enemies often relies on an understanding of what they would or should do, and her lack of social familiarity with most social strata means that she’s not very good at predicting the sensible behaviour of even normal street gangs. All her theories work just fine, for spherical villains in a vacuum.

Mechanics

Bec was a fire control/radiation emission controller.

I don’t have a current build for her and really, if I did have a copy of her build to open it I’d first need to find an earlier version of Mids, open it in that, then export that build to a current version and daisy chain the build to curent Homecoming standards.

If I was building her today, I would deliberately be trying to give her a build that hit the goal of:

Permanent Accelerate Metabolism. This is doable around 130-140% global recharge, with Hasten, and then feeds into it. This would necessitate two ‘auto’ buttons – which I’d get by binding hasten to my ‘back’ button, a trick I’ve been doing on almost all characters these days.

A single-target attack chain of (probably) Char + An Epic Attack + Ring Of Fire, and a ranged aoe fireball effect. Treating these as attacks before controls is a bit risky, but remember that this is a character with a ludicrous amount of recharge; single target holds lasting a long time isn’t that important because she’d be attacking with it every few minutes.

I’d have to choose between using Hot Feet and standing near people to do more area damage and control, versus flying around at range and relying on ranged defense to protect her from mezzes and damage. The former wants Smashing/Lethal defense, the latter wants Ranged defense and resistance armours. This could hinge on how endurance-hungry her build is. If she’s an end hog, turning off Hot Feet and relying instead on resistance armours could play into Cardiac.

If I was building her today, I probably wouldn’t spare any expense. This is an old, beloved character with a very fun playstyle and a beloved characterisation. If I could get her friends back into the game, or even make comparative friends, there would be in my mind, no problem with literally bankrolling everyone to have fancy builds like hers.

Of course, that won’t happen, but it’s still a thing to think about. I still have this character occupying my headspace after all.

History

That is the description I wrote for Bec Querel, sometime before January 2010, and Bec herself was made in 2007. This is at least 15 year old writing. It is, in my opinion, weak, and part of what makes it weak is that it tells you a backstory at the expense of the character you’re going to interact with.

Bec Querel is an autistic supergenius nuclear astroscientist who noticed she was lonely at the age of 15 and decided to re-do highschool as an Optimal Social Experience. She did this because she did all the super-science she needed to do and now she wants friends, and she’s bad at having them. To do this, and not give up on the super science, she took on the task of a High School Hero (which I would, now, probably position at college rather than high school).

I don’t think I even have Bec Querel’s name camped anywhere now. It seemed to me to be one of those free, perfect versions of its name; a character who cared about temperature and radiation, where the unit for measuring those things was itself, also pretty believable as a name? I think it’s clear in my mind that she was a Rebecca, and therefore Bec, and maybe even had some degree of a semi-public identity (when she was publishing academically), that she turned into a private identity by inventing a fake surname for her hero identity. Papers that were published at first pseudonymously because of her age and then declared connected to a superhero identity strike me as a thing for her.

Ultimately, the history of Bec Querel is a tangle because she was one of my important milestones of a character. She was almost my first hero 50; she was easily one of my highest level heroes as I played her in a dedicated team, even if I wasn’t good at it. Bec was my introduction to the Virtue roleplaying server and becoming part of that roleplaying public space. Also, and this is important: Bec is defined in my memory by disappointing other roleplayers by being a butthole.

Also, Bec is a character whose sexuality I had to work out. I’m still not sure where she lands, but for a while there she was genuinely curious as to if she had a sexuality or not.

Oh! And she’s where I first used keybinds to do something impressive (in her case, singing all of ‘O Canada’ one line at a time). I’ve since become very familiar with the keybind system and now I like doing specific things to squeeze function out of the interface.

Conclusion

I miss what Bec was about. I miss the friends I had with her. I wish I’d been better at being a friend and I wish I’d been better at talking with people about what they needed and how they were feeling. I wish I’d been better at talking about what I felt.

Like I dunno, maybe I was specifically, kinda trash at being a good friend because of a hole blown in my high school life.

Contrasting paths:

Nathan Bateman x reader

————————————————————————

The annual Tech Innovators Conference buzzed with excitement. It was a gathering of the brightest minds in technology and science, where ideas met, clashed, and sometimes merged into groundbreaking innovations.

Y/N, a renowned environmental scientist, stood at the podium, passionately presenting her latest project: a sustainable energy initiative utilizing AI to reduce carbon footprints. Her enthusiasm was palpable, her dedication to ethical science evident in every word.

As she wrapped up her presentation, the crowd began to stir. Among them was Nathan Bateman, known for his controversial yet revolutionary work in artificial intelligence. His expression was a mix of curiosity and skepticism as he raised his hand for a question.

"Your project is ambitious," he started, "but isn't it a bit naive to think AI can be fully ethical? The best technology often requires compromises."

Y/N responded sharply, "It's not about naivety; it's about responsibility. We have to consider the impact on our planet and future generations."

The exchange set the tone for the rest of the conference. The audience watched, sensing the tension between the two. Nathan's reputation as a pragmatic innovator often clashed with Y/N's idealistic approach, making them unlikely collaborators.

Later that day, Nathan approached Y/N during a networking event. The room was filled with tech giants and scientists, but he seemed focused solely on her.

"I think there's potential in your project," he said, skipping pleasantries. "With my AI, we could streamline the process, make it more efficient."

Y/N eyed him warily. "And at what cost? Your track record with AI isn't exactly... cautious."

He shrugged, unfazed. "Sometimes, to make an omelette, you have to break a few eggs. But with the right balance, we could achieve something groundbreaking."

The proposition intrigued her. Despite their differences, there was no denying that Nathan's resources and expertise could accelerate her project's impact. After a moment's hesitation, she agreed to a trial collaboration.

Working together proved to be a challenge. Nathan's lab was a stark contrast to Y/N's modest setup, filled with cutting-edge technology and a minimalist aesthetic that mirrored his precise, controlled personality. Y/N felt out of place, her passion for sustainable technology clashing with the cold efficiency of the environment.

"Your lab is impressive," she admitted, looking around. "But it's all so... sterile."

Nathan smirked. "Function over form. But feel free to add some plants if it makes you feel more at home."

They spent hours debating the ethical implications of their work, each conversation a battle of ideologies. Yet, amidst the clashes, there was a growing respect and a simmering attraction neither could ignore.

One evening, as they worked late into the night, their conversation drifted from work to personal philosophies. Nathan's usually guarded demeanor softened, revealing a side of him she hadn't seen before.

"You really believe in this, don't you?" he asked, more curious than condescending.

"I do," Y/N replied. "We have a responsibility to do better, to use our intelligence for good."

He nodded thoughtfully. "Maybe you're right. Maybe there's more to this than just efficiency."

The breakthrough in their project came unexpectedly. They successfully integrated Nathan's AI with Y/N's sustainable energy model, creating a system that optimized energy use while minimizing environmental impact. It was a triumph, blending their divergent approaches into something new and powerful.

To celebrate, Nathan suggested dinner. They found themselves at a cozy restaurant, far removed from the sterile lab environment. The conversation flowed more easily, and the tension between them shifted, becoming something warmer, more intimate.

"You're different from anyone I've worked with," he confessed, his eyes meeting hers across the table.

"Because I challenge you?" she teased, though there was a note of seriousness in her voice.

"Because you believe in something bigger than yourself. It's... refreshing."

The night ended with a walk through the city, the air crisp and filled with the sounds of nightlife. They stopped at a quiet spot, the city's lights reflecting in a nearby river. The moment felt charged, the unspoken attraction between them palpable.

Before they could overthink it, they leaned in, the kiss both unexpected and inevitable. It was intense, a culmination of their weeks of tension and unspoken feelings. When they finally pulled apart, they were breathless, the reality of what had just happened sinking in.

"We shouldn't," Y/N murmured, though she made no move to step away.

"Probably not," he agreed, his voice low. "But I don't regret it."

Their relationship grew more complicated as they navigated the blurred lines between professional and personal. They tried to maintain their focus on the project, but the attraction was impossible to ignore.

One late night at the lab, after hours of working in close quarters, the tension became too much. Y/N was reviewing data when Nathan approached, his gaze intense.

"This is driving me crazy," he admitted, his voice husky.

Before she could respond, he closed the distance, capturing her lips in a kiss that was anything but gentle. It was a release of all the pent-up desire, a breaking point they could no longer avoid.

They moved together with urgency, fumbling as they shed their barriers and clothes. The lab, with its sterile environment, became the backdrop for an intensely passionate encounter. Nathan was commanding yet surprisingly tender, his usual control giving way to raw need.

Y/N responded with equal fervor, her idealism and passion for her work translating into the intensity of the moment. They melded together, their differences fueling their connection rather than hindering it.

Afterward, they lay together, the coolness of the lab contrasting with the heat between them. Neither spoke, the silence filled with the weight of what had transpired. It was a line crossed, an undeniable shift in their relationship.

The following days were a mix of awkwardness and unspoken understanding. They continued their work, but the dynamics had changed. The once-clear boundary between professional and personal was now blurred, leaving them both off-balance.

They met one evening to discuss their project, but the conversation quickly turned personal.

"We need to talk about what happened," Y/N said, breaking the silence that had grown between them.

Nathan nodded, his expression serious. "I know. But where do we even start?"

"It complicates everything," she admitted. "Our work, our dynamic... But I can't ignore how I feel."

"Neither can I," he confessed, his voice softer than she'd ever heard it. "But we need to figure out what this means for us."

They agreed to take things one step at a time, to let their relationship evolve naturally rather than forcing it into any defined box. It was uncharted territory for both, especially for Nathan, who was used to control and predictability.

Their relationship continued to evolve, each day bringing new challenges and deeper connections. They learned to navigate their differences, finding common ground in their shared passion for innovation and their growing feelings for each other.

The lab, once a place of tension and debate, became a space where they could explore both their work and their relationship. They had more late nights, filled with heated discussions and equally heated moments of intimacy.

Their project reached completion, a perfect blend of their visions. The success was a testament to their collaboration and the balance they had found together.

On the day they presented their findings, the tension from their first meeting seemed like a distant memory. They stood side by side, a united front, their differences having become their greatest strength.

As the applause died down, Nathan turned to Y/N with a smile. "We make a good team," he said, his tone filled with more than just professional respect.

"We do," she agreed, her eyes meeting his with warmth. "Who knew?"

Their journey had been unexpected, filled with challenges and surprises. But it had led them to a place neither had anticipated—a partnership that was both professional and deeply personal.

As they left the conference together, they knew their story was just beginning. The future was uncertain, but they were ready to face it, together.

BEAUTY AND WELLNESS

Beauty Wellness connects traditional beauty regimes and wellness approaches that incorporate a lifestyle approach to the overall improvement of mental and physical health, as well as choosing the products and activities that are useful for the skin, mind, and body to look good inside and out.

As part of the health maintenance regime, good care results in healthy glowing skin. Healthy skin is a telltale sign of living an optimal life, while beauty wellness involves building practices to support this balance.

The Key Components of Beauty Wellness

1. Skincare

Underlying beauty wellness lies a solid skincare regimen. Utilizing natural, nourishing products designed to suit your skin type is crucial. If your��face never seems moisturized enough, perhaps due to inadequate hydration levels or using non-suitable products - Prana Beauty recommends our Brightening Saffron Serum as the solution that will rejuvenate and hydrate skin for a radiant glow!

2. Nutrition

What you eat has an immense effect on the condition and appearance of your skin. Essentials such as antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals should also be availed through a healthy diet if one is to achieve healthy skin that is free of acne. Taking more omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins C & E and also taking much water is believed to enhance the appearance greatly.

Regular physical activity improves circulation, providing oxygen and essential nutrients directly to the skin for overall improved health and youthful appearance. Exercise also serves to decrease stress levels which could harm its integrity as an influencer on its condition.

5. Sleep

Beauty sleep is real! Sleep is essential to skin repair and regeneration; aim for at least 7-9 hours of quality rest each night so your complexion looks its best!

I'm an astrology girl

That's why I made an astrology birth chart for Tezuka (my fave) of course with a made up year because it was needed... probably changes the chart a lot but the one I got is pretty accurate.

Libra Rising (10°35')

The Libra Rising sign gives you a diplomatic, kind personality with a strong orientation toward harmony and relationships. You tend to avoid conflict and seek balance. Aesthetics, beauty, and justice are important to you. You may be seen as a charming and cooperative person.

Sun in Libra (11°03') in the 1st House

Your core identity is closely connected to the sign of Libra: balanced, sociable, and fair. Being in the 1st House, the Sun gains strength; you have a prominent presence and likely a desire to express yourself clearly. You may be charismatic, a social leader, and a strong need for acceptance in relationships.

Moon in Capricorn (29°10') in the 4th House

[ Directional Orbit ] Fire - Stage 120 Clear VOD

On June 26th I finally cleared Rafayel's Directional Orbit: Fire - Stage 120! This is the last fight currently available for hunters to challenge in the Deepspace Trials. With this clear I can now say I have successfully completed all 120 stages of Open and Directional Orbits that are out. It's a feels good moment knowing that I was able to achieve this goal before the big update in July. Hopefully we'll see more stages soon.

Anyway, some important information pertaining to Stage 120. Like all red orbits, x0 stages it requires two different teams. Team 01's Protofield Stellactrum is 6-Pearl memories. Team 02's Protofield Stellactrum is 6-Violet memories.

By having a 'perfect match' with the Protofield Stellactrum you will receive additional attribute bonuses (for every color you match increase DMG boost 5.0% and DMG reduction 5.0% up to 30.0%), as well as the ability to shatter two protofield shields in a single strike. For this stage I opted to match the colors for each team. The bonuses of having a perfect match was more optimal instead of me trying to brute force it.

A disclaimer of sorts -- a lot of time, energy, and resources went into this stage. Everything here is based on my own experience with this particular fight. There is no right or wrong way to go about it. What worked for me may not work for you, but I hope some of the things I learned along the way could help you with your own trials.

What a long and precarious journey this has been, especially with Rafayel. From me begging the rng god(s) to bless me with his AB myth pair to struggling to obtain crit rate violet delta protocores... his team builds always made me work for it in every sense of the word. Which is why I am beyond ecstatic to finally be done with this, hahaha. I started this stage on 05/22 and finally cleared on 06/26 -- 5 weeks of progging this fight whenever his orbit was available... ngl it was pretty rough.

With Team 01, it wasn't so bad if you have a perfect match and group up the three wanderers. I've done countless runs of this stage and noticed that my build was strong enough to auto battle it -- though it sometimes cut really close to the timer ending. However, if you're doing it off color and trying to brute force it I would highly suggest that you stand close to / focus on Nauticverge (it's ranged with a staff). The other two wanderers will come to you to make it easier to group together.

With Team 02, the sheer amount of resources I invested into Rafayel's violet team is kinda wild. This was the first time I awakened a 4-star memory [Ivory Nightfall] but that was done only after I exhausted all of my other upgrades (ie. getting 5-star memories to level 80, maxing out +15 protocores). I don't regret that though. That memory is beautiful and well worth it since it's an ATK talent. I called it my make or break upgrade and thankfully that was the last bit of damage I needed to clear.

Originally, I was progging the second half of the stage using his Phantasma Sands guns... but finally gave up and swapped to Hunter Claymore to do even more damage. Truthfully, I'm not that great when it comes to melee weapons. Getting those stacks was a hit or miss because I anxiously dodge back too fast before seeing the red ring.

I know my game play was messy... but at least I made sure to press my buttons on cooldown, tried not to cap on my energy charges, and made sure to grab the fishtail beacon every time I used Rafayel's support skill. There's also the case with the last shield break of the fight. I made sure to hold my resonance skill until ~0:13 left on the timer to utilize the most damage out of my ardent oath during the wanderers weakened state. As seen in my video that was the final blow before I got my clear!

When the best becomes our standard, we don’t just achieve more — we inspire more. We create a culture where progress is continuous, where quality is non-negotiable, and where every effort contributes to a brighter future.

Col. Rajyavardhan Rathore’s vision is a powerful reminder that true leadership is about setting examples, raising the bar, and ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of excellence. It’s a call for all of us to aim higher and do better — for ourselves, for our communities, and for generations to come.

So let’s make “the best” our standard, not just in words, but in every action we take. Together, we can build a future that lives up to this ideal.

• For example, an internal audit might assess whether GST returns are filed accurately and on time.

By staying ahead of regulatory requirements, businesses can avoid costly penalties and maintain stakeholder confidence.

4. Enhancing Operational Efficiency

Internal audits are not just about identifying risks — they’re also about improving processes.

• Auditors provide recommendations that streamline operations, reduce redundancies, and optimize resource utilization.

• For instance, a supply chain audit may identify inefficiencies in procurement that increase costs.

This dual focus on risk mitigation and process improvement makes internal audits invaluable for achieving organizational efficiency.

5. Boosting Stakeholder Confidence

When stakeholders — be it management, investors, or employees — know that an organization’s risks are well-managed, their trust increases.

• Internal audits provide assurance that the organization’s governance and risk management frameworks are strong.

• For example, timely and transparent audit reports can reassure investors of a company’s financial health and operational integrity.

This trust translates into better business relationships and improved market reputation.

Regularly update blogs, whitepapers, and case studies that demonstrate your expertise and add value to your audience.

6. Develop Multi-Channel Outreach

Gone are the days when email alone could drive sales. Today’s B2B buyers expect communication across multiple channels, including email, phone, social media, and even in-person meetings. A well-coordinated outreach strategy ensures you’re reaching prospects wherever they are most active.

7. Invest in Value-Driven Content

Content is the backbone of B2B marketing. Create in-depth whitepapers, blogs, videos, and case studies that address the challenges your prospects face. Use content as a tool to educate and build trust, positioning your business as a thought leader in your industry.

8. Strengthen Sales Enablement

Empower your sales team with the tools, resources, and training they need to succeed. This includes access to up-to-date product information, buyer personas, and data-driven insights that can help them tailor their pitch to individual prospects.

9. Leverage Data Analytics

Incorporate data-driven insights into every stage of your sales funnel. Use analytics tools to track customer behavior, identify trends, and refine your strategies. This approach ensures you’re always making informed decisions that drive results.

10. Collaborate with Strategic Partners

Partnering with complementary businesses can open doors to new opportunities. For instance, a software provider could partner with a consulting firm to offer bundled services, creating value for both companies and their customers.

11. Focus on Customer Retention

It’s often said that retaining a customer is more cost-effective than acquiring a new one. Implement loyalty programs, provide excellent post-sale support, and continuously engage with your existing customers to ensure they remain loyal advocates for your brand.

12. Harness the Power of Video Marketing

Video content is increasingly becoming a preferred medium for B2B buyers. Use explainer videos, product demos, and client testimonials to engage prospects and communicate your value proposition effectively.

13. Encourage Referrals

Happy customers can become your best brand ambassadors. Develop a referral program that incentivizes your existing clients to recommend your services to their network.

14. Monitor Competitors

Keeping a close eye on your competitors can provide valuable insights. Identify what’s working for them and where they might be falling short. Use this information to refine your strategies and gain a competitive edge.

15. Expand Internationally

If your business hasn’t explored international markets yet, 2025 might be the year to do so. Develop localized strategies to address the specific needs and cultural preferences of global audiences.

16. Use Social Proof to Build Credibility

Social proof, such as client testimonials, success stories, and case studies, plays a crucial role in establishing trust. Showcase these prominently on your website and marketing materials to demonstrate your capabilities.

17. Align Sales and Marketing Teams

Silos between sales and marketing teams can hinder your growth. Align their goals and encourage collaboration to create a seamless journey from lead generation to conversion.

Webinars and events are excellent ways to educate your audience, showcase your expertise, and generate new leads. Offer valuable insights during these sessions to leave a lasting impression on your prospects.
