hello i have the geology flavor of autism an am so so normal about honkai star rail an have not stoped thinking about the myriad celestia trailer so im going to make a thread of fun facts about the gems/minerals each of the stone hearts are named after topaz: ❥ topaz is naturally colorless but gets its color from elemental impurites ❥ the word topaz comes from the greek word Τοπαζος (topazos) ❥topaz is most commonly used in jewelry ❥ its the state gemstone of Utah!

❄️❄️Midnight's DCA December Day 10❄️❄️

cooked this up last night for y'all, but waited to post to make sure it was actually coherent lmao, anywho, hope you enjoy! Edit: reviewed this morning and chat 2 am midnight was cookinggg

Prompt: ok ok i have a pretty vague idea that i really love. y/n would be a burglar who breaks into the pizzaplex on christmas eve/day (cos no one wants to work at christmas time, so there should be minimal security, right?..). but they quickly sense they are not alone and dca interaction ensues :') i feel like you could go different ways with this, full chase sequence, or just witty banter with the dca. you can play with around the y/n's motives for committing theft/breaking in. i'd love to see what you cook up :D

The side door opens with a click, and as it creaks ajar, you can't help the grin that splits your face. Success, and after 15 minutes of fumbling in the cold, you're more than happy to finally get inside. And get to work, for that matter. 

You shove your kit back into your pocket, and adjust your mask. Slinking inside, it's as quiet and dead as you hoped. Even the cameras, which you'd think they'd bother to power on for this very reason, don't seem to be active. All the better for you, really. 

Still, you proceed with caution, while the place is more than dead in terms of human staff, there are some bots lingering about. From the last time you were in here you think they were just called S.T.A.F.F. bots? Doesn't matter, you didn't need to take any chances. 

You keep to the shadowy parts of the building, making your way to your first stop; Chica's gift shop. You make quick work, grabbing the limited edition kids jewelry set, and a plush or two for good measure. You make similar stops throughout, a makeup set and costume from Roxy's, a gator golf mini club set, a microphone signed by Freddy himself. Not to mention again, anything else you can grab your hands on. 

You wanted this trip to count, if you were going to be doing something illegal, might as well go all out, yeah? 

You won't deny, it had been a bit of an inner conflict for you at first. You had morals, stealing was wrong and all that jazz. However, stealing from a multi-million dollar corporation who wouldn't even notice the teeny-tiny little dent you've made in their merchandise? Yes, still wrong, but surely not nearly as bad. At least, that's what you tell yourself. 

You glance briefly at the list in your hand, and the map in the other, as you chow down on a cupcake you swiped earlier. You're sitting on a railing overlooking the atrium, the area quiet enough to not draw any attention. Though, still so far so good from what you've been able to tell.

None of the main attractions have been out and about, and if you had to guess, they were either doing their own thing in their rooms—which, an odd but endearing thought to have—or they were simply powered down to conserve energy over the holidays. Regardless, you're able to check off the locations on your map, and the items on your list in an easy peace. 

As luck would have it, you're well ahead of schedule. Only an hour or so in and you're already down to your last location. Circled in red marker and starred; Lucky Stars Gift Shop. 

You'd saved it for last because it was one of the trickier ones to get to. But, with how easy the rest of the night has been, you'd argue it's well worth the risk at this point. While your haul was more than enough, you knew that if you could score there, you'd be set. 

So, finishing your cupcake with a wipe of your shirt sleeve, your off. 

When you arrive, much like all the other locations, the door is thankfully unlocked. You slip inside, and set to work. You were looking once more for a specific item in particular, in this case as set of pajamas. Smalls, along with a pair of matching nightlights if you could find them. 

You find the pjs soon enough, stuffing them in with the rest of your haul. It was starting to get heavy now, and you truly looked the part of a burglar with your big canvas sack. To be fair, it wasn't like you could fit all this in your backpack. Even though you'd foolishly considered it for a brief moment. 

The nightlights are a harder find, not anywhere within easy sight among the toys and stuffies scattered throughout the darkened shop. To be safe though, you swipe a few of those as well. 

You finally spot your prize while doing a sweep over the entire place, both set up on a high shelf behind the counter. You puff out your cheeks, of course they just had to be there of all places.

You shake your head, no matter. You weren't leaving without those nightlights. Especially after catching the sight of the price when trying to order online. Just for merch for the Daycare Attendant of all things. 

Setting down your bag, you start to climb onto the counter, swaying slightly in your rush. You lean over the gap behind the counter and the shelf, finding that you just barely can't reach.

You grit your teeth, and lean further, doing your best to keep your feet steady. When your hand makes contact with a box, you internally cheer. Quickly, you grip it, and the other while you're at it. 

You struggle to contain your excitement, giggling to yourself as you step fully back onto the counter with your goods. 

"Well now, what do we have here?"

"Something of a thief, by the looks of it." The voice turns darker, chuckling. "And not a very clever one, at that."

You freeze then, but keep calm. You were too close now. You weren't expecting any guards at this point, but certainly you could handle these two, you've come too far to not try, anyway. 

You turn, tone smooth. "Well, that's not very nice. I think I've been doing pretty good so far—" The words die on your tongue when you realize that the person behind you are in fact, one bot. One of the very bots that strongly resembled the ceramic copies in your hands.

The blue and white animatronic tilts his head at you, red eyes narrowed. Moon, from what you already know.

"You were saying?" He asks. 

Initial shock gone, you shake your head, huffing as you hop down from the counter. "I believe I've done pretty well so far, not to toot my own horn or anything. And with these, I'll be more than happy to get out of your hair. Or, whatever the equivalent is for you, I suppose." You stuff the nightlights in your bag, head held high. 

"Is that so? You'll just walk on out of here, without a bit of confrontation or trouble?" The naptime attendant sounds more amused than anything, so you'll keep trying your luck. 

You shrug. "Well yes, I really would rather not be a burden on you. Would hate to be the cause of disruption so close to the holidays. Consider it a gesture of the heart." You put your hand to your chest, bowing slightly. 

"Gesture of the heart—" Moon laughs then, hard. 

You take the chance to slip by him, crossing your arms as you lean against a clothes rack. "Something the matter? I'll have you know I mean what I say, especially to a pretty face."

"A pretty, pretty face?" He asks between chuckles. The bot pretends to wipe a tear. "My, you're a curious little thief aren't you?"

You wink. "I like to keep things exciting. No need for unnecessary tension and all that, you know? And if I wasn't on the job, well, I'd be using more than just my words, let's say that."

You're almost to the door now, hand ghosting over the handle. If you can get a head start, you'll surely make it. Unfortunately, you're not so lucky. 

"Well, I'm afraid to disappoint, but I believe tension is all I have to offer, you Star. I hope you'll understand."

You keep your eyes locked on each other for a moment more. Then, as he launches toward you, you rip open the door, running out into the light again. 

As you're running, you hear a voice call out behind you. "What? You're not going to try to woo me too? Am I good enough for you, Sunshine?"

"Of course you are!" You say back. "I just figured a change of scenery would do us some good, is all."

You find you have no other choice but to enter the Daycare itself. Certainly not your favorite option, but you can hear the playtime attendant gaining on your fast. You'll have to fake him out in here and hope for the best. 

He chuckles. "How kind of you! So tell me, what's convinced you this was a good idea, friend? You have me oh so curious."

"Ah, I wouldn't want to bore you with all the details." You wave your hand, then jump to climb one of the playset walls. "That's much less fun. Instead, tell me about yourself? You come here often?"

You hear him close behind, just missing at swiping your leg in his grasp. "Well, I live here, so as it would turn out, yes! You seem too familiar with the layout yourself, Starshine."

"What makes you think that?" You scoff. Though, you can't say he's wrong, you're just hoping the mask is enough to keep your identity a secret. Would hate to be banned now. 

You stare down at him, head in your hands as Sun stares up at you, rays flicking and eyes narrowed. "We got a peak at your little collection. You're well aware of what's the priciest items here! That's something that takes time, and planning."

"Aw, why thank you! If I wasn't preoccupied, I would return that compliment with more than just verbal appreciation."

He leans against the playset, gaze focused on you. "You could always try."

You grin, and for the briefest of seconds consider the offer, then shake your head. 

"Ah, I would. But I've got no guarantees it won't turn sour, in the end." You tsk drearily. "I'm afraid our love must stay as it is. Treasured from afar in secrecy. Surely you understand, no?"

 Sun nods, hand going to his faceplate just as dramatically. "Oh course, how foolish of me to consider such. If only—Hey! That's cheating!"

You snicker to yourself as you race across the playset. "I'm sorry, my dear! But time is of the essence. Perhaps another time I can listen to your sweet nothings—"

You slip, foot catching the wrong side of the plastic bridge. Your eyes widen as you begin to fall, then squeeze shut as you brace for impact. 

It doesn't come, instead, you find yourself in a reassuring grip. Peeking an eye open, you find Sun staring down at you, concern evident in his eyes. 

Your breathing is heavy as you wait for him to do something, anything. 

"I know those eyes." He says in the quiet. "It's you."

Ah, shit. 

In a state of utter defeat, and total shock, you wind up bound in a spare set of jump ropes, sat in one of the tiny chairs for good measure. 

Meanwhile, Sun is pacing the back and forth in front of you, speaking in a one-sided conversation to his counterpart. 

"But why, surely there's no reason for them to have been—"

"I know, I know. It's wrong, but that doesn't, no, no you're right."

"What if we, it might work. I just don't want to—" He turns to stare at you, then shakes his head.

You sigh. This blows. You'd spent so long planning this out, and now you're about to lose everything. Unless, you can convince them that you really meant no major harm. 

"Listen. I know this looks, bad. But I can explain!"

The bot turns to you then, curious, but suspicious. You don't blame him. 

Your head hangs low, guilt sinking in in that moment. "Look, money's tight. Really tight. Why do you think I come here to get daycare services? It's dirt cheap, you know. And, and the kids were just so excited for Christmas this year, I saw an opportunity and I just,"—You shake your head—"I'm not proud, at all. I just, wanted to give them something nice, you know? That's the honest truth. So, before you turn me in, please, just give me a chance. You can take everything back, but please let me walk out of here tonight. I, I won't come back, I'll find other arrangements, just please, please don't tell anyone about this."

You wait for him to start laughing at you, you expect it even. Even if it was the truth, it was still a ridiculous notion. All this for the sake of some toys? God, imagine what the cops are going to say when the get a load of this—

The jump ropes keeping you tied up suddenly loosen. 

Looking up, you see Sun's gaze is on you, unreadable in that moment. Then, he hands you your sack, and your backpack, and points to the door. 

"I, you're, you're letting me... really?" You're more than surprised, you're flabbergasted. 

He nods, helping you to stand. "I believe you, we both do. We've seen how much your care for them, and we understand. To a point, that is. Now hurry along, before it gets too late."

"I, I don't know what to say..."

Sun chuckles. "I think you'll be better off not worrying about your words for once, Sunbeam."

"Still, I just,"—you shake your head, and in a brief moment of unthinking, wrap your arms around the bot in a hug—"I mean it, thank you."

He stiffens, but returns the gesture. 

You pull away after a moment, slinging your bags back over your shoulders. "You know, if I'm not banned, we should um, do this again sometime. In a more, legal setting."

"O-oh?"

You smirk. "Yeah. What? I told you, I mean what I say."

You turn then, heading for the door before they change their mind. Though based on Sun's last words to you, you doubt that.

"We'd like that!" He calls, and for some reason, the sincerity of it makes you blush under your mask. 

Sure enough, when you discover that Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Plex is hiring, in Superstar Daycare no less, you find yourself easily able to fulfill that promise. 

"Almost ready for naptime, Starshine?" Sun asks as he comes up to where you stand leaning against the security desk.

You nod. "I am, but are you?"

"What makes you say that?" He asks, tone anything but innocent.

You tsk. "You've not been subtle today, Sunny. I can tell when someone wants to kiss me, it's my sixth sense, so to say."

"Just like how lock picking, bribery, pick-pocketing, and seduction~ are also your sixth sense?" He asks, leaning down to your height.

Your cheeks heat up, and you cough. "Of course."

Sun chuckles, closing the gap between the two of you with a brief peck. You are on the clock, after all. 

When he pulls away, flicking the lights off, you find Moon staring down at you with that same look. 

You huff, smile on your lips. "Let me guess, you want a turn now too?"

"Of course not." His hand cups your face with a tsk. "Could you think so little of me?"

You grin as he bends down further.

He shakes his head slightly, "No, I think I'll take a bit more than just one simple kiss."

"One not good enough for you?" You question. 

"Not for all the trouble you've been. I think at least three kisses are in order, to make up for it, don't you?"

Your arms wrap around his neck with a giggle. "Well, I certainly won't protest."

You meet somewhere in the middle, and just like you always do these days, find yourself grateful to your previous self for the, really, quite stupid idea of trying to break into the plex the night of Christmas Eve. 

Because sometimes bad ideas can have good outcomes, and this was a clear sign of that.

LONG-TERM EFFECTS OF SUFFERING

Blade X Reader | 1.8k

𝖌𝖊𝖓𝖗𝖊: gothic lit, dark fantasy, eventual smut.

𝖈𝖜: none, as of the moment.

𝖘𝖞𝖓𝖔𝖕𝖘𝖎𝖘:

“When will death come for me? My patience is wearing thin.”

A skilled swordsman, hunter, and consumer of blood, Blade’s name is feared with a body count of over fifty thousand deceased hunters in the battlefield. From hundreds of enemies, he stood amongst other Stellaron Hunters for his ability to ingest blood and guts of mere mortals, something not expected of his kind. Kafka knows this, in fact all his fellow hunters and swordsmen have long figured out his insatiable hunger for the weak and frail.

But in spite of his endless meals since he found the world, he has embarked on a personal quest. That is, to find the perfect mate worth consuming (and perhaps, killing) for the sake of lifting the curse that brought about his immortality.

Blade never played soft with his intentions, and he never portrayed himself as a sweet man with whom he went in for the kill. He was never gentle, not even in his pursuit of the little old you—a fragile princess protected by the security of your father’s kingdom.

You were but a princess confined to four walls for you held on a special ability which was able to slowly kill whoever got ahold of you. After accidentally poisoning your soon-to-be husband in a wedding, your father decided to lock you far away in his other castle, doomed to never experience the beauty of marriage or intimate affairs.

Blade craved death far more than you needed air to breathe, and upon Kafka’s discovery of your existence, she alerts him of a potential cure to his immortality—your soul.

The man himself keeps this in mind, and will stop at nothing but to hunt you down, granting he draws his final breath after one night with you.

𝕬𝖚𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖗’𝖘 𝕹𝖔𝖙𝖊:

Just a heads up, because I have yet to admit this, but I don’t, and actually never played Honkai Star Rail. So perhaps you can expect some OOC Blade and canon divergence, though I also did some research. However, seeing this man made me go through some kind of brainrot. It’s official. I have the HOTS FOR THIS MAN. So I cooked up this fic.

Minors and ageless blogs don’t interact. I whipped this up last minute because I have a lot of spare time with my hands.

Not proofread. No beta we die like men!

CHAPTER ONE — CHAPTER TWO.

Chapter One || Haunted By Yours Truly

“Bladie…..ravaging your opponent at this point may seem a little….uncalled for. Perhaps you should take some time off.”

A tall, dark-haired man bent over to take a closer inspection of the body laid before him. Stretching out his arm forward to check on the corpse’s eyes, they turned out to be rolled all the way back, signifying that the body was lifeless indeed. Going by the name Blade, he looked up at his fellow Stellaron Hunter Kafka with those ferocious, feisty eyes of crimson hue.

“And what if I don’t?”

Kafka’s smile dropped, Blade hinting at the slightest sign of annoyance as she kept watch on his every move.

“Bladie….we can’t be stuck around dwelling on what’s already been ruined.” Kafka sighed. “You’re out for the princess, remember?”

“Suit yourself. I have yet another soul to devour, should death approach me upon consuming it. Out of my way.”

Thick air engulfed the dark hallways, Blade and Kafka standing before corpses that laid bare on the floor as a result of their attack on your beloved kingdom. After single-handedly killing almost every guard with their lethal weapons, they ensured no one shall be spared. That is, if it means finding the antidote to lifting Blade’s curse.

He was far too stubborn, just far too stubborn. Blade leaned closer onto the corpse’s neck, locating sensitive areas worth having his teeth to sink in. He searched far and wide for an erogenous zone with minimal difficulty, marking his territory by entering a halt once he found the right spot. His face leaned closer to the corpse’s neck in a rather intimate distance; the heat of his breath felt upon as he opened his mouth wide open.

And in that moment, Blade’s sharp canines sank and buried itself into the thin layer of skin. He bit hard enough in a way that sent piercing, prickling pain to the receiver, granting the corpse was still alive to feel the sensation. The approach was harsh, without falter. His teeth sank under and bit hard enough to draw blood. What wasn’t there, however, is its ability to kill upon consumption.

Blade dipped his tongue onto the wound, savoring the beads of blood that leaked out of the fresh cut. Bleh. The taste was nasty, leaving no room for Blade to keep suckling further. Instantly pulling away, he coughed at the sight of the mess he just caused.

“Too much iron. Not a good sign.” Blade scoffed. “Not the best way to bring about the limits of the flesh.”

“Bladie, we don’t wanna waste time. If all you’re searching for is the cure for your condition, I believe it is best if we start looking elsewhere for the princess.” Kafka announced.

“Tch. Fine. But convince me the search will be worth it.”

Kafka and Blade left the blood-stained halls as they embarked on a mission to find remnants of your presence. It was quite a long and tedious journey, traveling across different regions for the sake of finding a worthy cause for Blade’s incoming death.

It was but a miracle that Kafka has established some connections with the divine and spiritual—she recently made friends with a wandering witch amongst the people who told her of a possible cure to immortality. Upon remembering her comrade, she made it an essential task to tell Blade of the good news. Not even the members of the Astral Express knows about this plane of existence, but since Kafka believed helping Blade gave her a sense of fulfillment, she made it a goal to seek an antidote if it meant risking certain abilities. Thankfully, there was not much required of her upon meeting and consulting the witch for help.

“No one here,” Blade observes. “It seems as if this place is abandoned. Not even the Aeons know what happened in these ruins.”

“Let’s just keep searching, alright, Bladie?” Kafka winked.

“Halt!” yelled a guard who stormed out of nowhere.

Blade drew his sword, ready to charge his blade towards the guard only to suddenly stop upon an interjection.

“Wait, please!” the guard retorted. “I can explain!”

“Oh?” Kafka crossed her arms, smiling. “Very well, Bladie, let’s hear this man out, shall we?”

“If…..if you’re looking for the king and his daughter, they’ve moved to another castle!”

“Pfffft. Is that so?” Blade sneered. “Well then, show me the ropes. Where can I find this kingdom?”

“I-It’s….it’s located on the far north within the Xianzhou Loufu, I-I promise it’s not too far away! I’ve pers-“

“Enough talk. Let’s go, Kafka.”

“Wait, about the princess!” the guard exclaimed. “The princess is currently on lockdown, so it’ll be forbidden to visit her chamber, just a heads up!”

“Whatever. We’ll make sure to have a word with her.” Blade replied.

“But you don’t understand! If you try courting the princess, the king will kill you! I could go on about how the princess’ father is quite strict! He’ll come after you if you ever tried to harm his daughter!”

“Tch. Whatever. Let’s go.”

The guard’s wails waned as Blade and Kafka left the halls, footsteps echoing amidst the darkness. The sun set hours ago, the castle’s windows lighting up to mark the sight of night engulfing the sky like a wide blanket. Inside the castle were you and your father. You wore a cream-beige gown that faded to white at its base, much to your father’s choice of clothes. It’s not like you had any other choice, your father prohibited you from wearing anything skimpy and revealing, so as to not attract the eyes of unwanted men.

“Daddy, am I going to bed this early? I’m thinking it’s a bit too early.” you asked. “What if I’m not all that sleepy?”

“Your mother said so.” your father, the King of Xianzhou Luofu, replied. “While she’s out of town, you better meet her expectations of getting the most rest, for you shall need that energy when you reign Queen.”

“I’m not that sleepy,” you retorted. “I’m sure she’ll understand that. It’s not like I’ll loiter around the kingdom again.”

“You don’t get it, [Name].” your father frowned, looking at you with a dead serious expression on his face. “After you were scheduled in marriage with the man who has kissed you with his bare lips, his slow, agonizing death was uncalled for. We do not want to risk the lives of other men as well as your womanhood.”

“Is it….is it because of my special ability, dad? Why was I cursed with it anyways? Why am I cursed with poisoning whoever gets a taste of me?”

Your father was bombarded with numerous questions. He didn’t want to spill the secret there and then, but he had to. He bowed his head and started to speak hesitantly as you could only helplessly stare at him with that innocent curiosity.

“Fine, I’ll tell you everything.” your father frantically spoke. “Me and your mother…..were unable to conceive a child. It was obligatory for us to preserve the bloodline, so we had to contact a witch to actually carry out a remedy. She stated that provided we are granted a child, we must face the consequences—it is that you will be cursed with a fatal kiss that can only be healed through the right man’s touch. We were also reminded to never tell anyone of this curse, if we do not want to face bad luck.”

“And it turned out that the man I married during my wedding wasn’t the right one?” you asked.

“I’m afraid so. It is but a rare condition, I can’t imagine having to deal with such a burden. So hear this, you’re better off without anyone as of this moment. We are still on the lookout for offering you the right man to be your husband.” your father replied.

“Are we finished yet, miss [Name]?” a servant appeared from behind.

“Ah! Yes, yes…..!!!!”

“By the way, there’s a gift waiting for you outside the palace, my Lord. I assume it’s one of your favorite drinks.” the servant said, tapping the shoulder of your father. “Blueberry champagne.”

“Ah, hand it over, please. I’ll drink it before bed.” your father requested. “Who might be this guest?”

“I’m afraid there is no label from where the product came from,” the servant replied. “But a commoner called Kafka introduced herself before delivering it to the castle’s main entrance.”

“Very well then, might I invite Kafka to stay here some time. I would like to thank her for knowing my taste in liquor.”

“Yes, my Lord.”

The servant left, leaving you and your father to dine. The conversation was pretty much nothing out of the ordinary—it was just another day of being showered with wealth and splendor exclusively celebrated by the royal families. You immediately got up from the dining area after a heartfelt interaction with your father, rushing to your room and changing into sleepwear. Your father always liked buying you dainty chemises, for he believed they suited your doll-like figure best.

Sounds of plates and glasses were being arranged along with other miscellany as the clock struck ten o’ clock. A princess like you was recommended at least ten hours of sleep, as to get rid of your dark circles and to prep you up for your everyday, luxurious skincare routine. It was only a week after you and your father moved castles. He spent all his wealth trying to cast you away from unwanted men peeking at you, let alone court you. Your father was surely an overprotective man who didn’t want his daughter engaging in unlawful acts, provided every man you hooked up with ended up poisoned.

The servants have already rushed to their rooms after a long day of tending to the dishes. You didn’t wait until midnight to drift off to sleep, it was only ten thirty when your eyes sealed shut without a care in the world. Your father was the one that stayed up, his sleeping schedule remaining inconsistent. But it wasn’t as if it mattered. After all, he makes the rules of his own castle.

A man of muscular, yet lanky frame took notice of your father still at the dining table from the windows. This man was revealed to be the one who has purchased a bottle of your father’s favorite champagne, your father not knowing it was drugged with a powerful sleeping pill.

“Ah, more glasses of champagne, please.” your father requested.

“As you wish, my Lord.” complied another servant.

Fizzy bubbles of champagne filled the glass, offered to the King like the drunkard he was becoming. The servants didn’t care much, some of them chuckling at the King’s gullibility. The lights at the dining table were dimly lit, and it wasn’t long before the King fell asleep, drugged at the dining table.

Logistics Management: An Overview by SMART Academy

Moving merchandise from one locality to another is not as simple as loading a truck and driving away in the modern hi-tech global environment. Its purest form should be as precise and efficient as possible while being as strategic as needed. Enter logistics management, the core of the supply chain and the discreet star of many businesses worldwide. But what is logistics management, and to what extent is it significant? Let’s dive in.

What is Logistics Management?

In the simplest terms, logistics management entails coordinating the acquisition, transportation, and storage of products and services to their final consumers in the most efficient manner. That is delicate balancing sure your product is in the hands of the right customer, at the right time, and ideally in mint condition.

Imagine: This is how you order your favorite gadget from an online shop, which is delivered to your doorstep after two days. That integrated approach is anything but coincidental; it is achieved through proper logistics planning.

Key Components of Logistics Management

Transportation Management

Transportation is the key component that helps to build its backbone. Whether the journey is by road, rail, sea, or air, the key to ensuring goods are transported optimally involves choosing the right routes, modes, and carriers.

Inventory Management

Determining the correct inventory levels—the right amount of stock, location, and time to reorder—is key to helping an organization avoid overstocking and stockouts.

Warehouse Management

Today’s warehouses are no longer straightforward, empty buildings where inventory is stored; they are high-tech structures designed to maximize capacity, order picking, packaging, and more.

Order Fulfillment

This is where the magic on this physical ride happens. Control can be deemed complete when orders receive some form of processing through the packaging process and the order's dispatch: effective and efficient order fulfillment is a major determinant of customer satisfaction.

Supply Chain Coordination

Logistics is not an independent function; it is integrated into the big picture, the supply chain. It is crucial to involve suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors because synchronization is of great importance to prevent delays and the problem of pipeline overload.

Why Logistics Management is Critical

Efficient logistics management isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s a business necessity. Here’s why:

1. Cost Savings

Reduced transport and warehousing costs mean the organization can use the money it has saved elsewhere.

2. Customer satisfaction

Customer satisfaction is a factor that has received attention in the IT service management domain; the following literature review elaborates on this aspect.

In an era where the client or the customer demands timely delivery of the products, efficiency in logistics thus guarantees timely and correct delivery.

3. Operating Efficiency Improved

Free-flowing logistics free up time, reduce mistakes and enhance efficiency by producing all the right outputs at the right time.

4. Global Reach

They explain how various companies can easily locate their products and services outside the local markets and deliver them to customers across the globe through the right logistics strategy.

5. Sustainability

Since shelf life and delivery routes are managed, the company ensures cost control, which affects environmentally friendly practices important to the current generation of consumers.

From Traditional Logistics Management to Modern Logistics Solutions

Today, logistics is what Launcher has grown to be after its creation. Originally, supply chain management was used for military purposes with special attention on providing products and troops on time and with proper accommodation, but now it has developed into a technologically sound system.

1. The Traditional Era

Many years ago, logistics was just basic; people even used pen and paper, maps, and some physical means to track. This method was efficient in the past but was very time-consuming to manage and had significant errors.

2. The Digital Revolution

Technology had a drastic impact on logistics in particular and supply chain in general. GPS tracking, automated warehousing systems, and real-time stock inventory gave businesses eye-opening stock management and supply chain features.

3. The Modern Age

Currently, logistics management is empowered with the automation of AI, blockchain, and IoT technologies. These innovations have made predictive analytics, auto-mobile cars, and innovative supply chains a reality.

The Role of Technology in Logistics Management

Technology is the game-changer in logistics management. Here’s how it’s shaping the industry:

1. AI and Machine Learning

Technology is used to forecast demand and to plan the best routes to take while avoiding Likely disruptions. Machine learning algorithms improve efficiency after some time.

2. IoT for Real-Time Tracking

The Internet of Things allows for the real-time tracking of goods, making it easy for businesses and consumers to track shipments throughout transit.

3. Automation in Warehousing

Robotic arms and automated storage and retrieval systems mentioned above are examples of automation that minimize errors and increase warehouse workflows.

4. Blockchain for Transparency

It uses blockchain technology to perform secure and transparent transactions, creating goodwill between the supply chain players.

5. Cloud-Based Systems

A cloud logistics platform makes it easier for businesses to control operations from a central location and minimize time spent on decision-making.

What All Industries Does Logistics Management Cover? 

A cloud logistics platform makes it easier for businesses to control operations from a central location and minimize time spent on decision-making.

Retail and E-Commerce

Speed is the soul of deliveries and returns processes.

Specialization in warehousing and inventory management concerns the range of products being handled.

Healthcare

Special care to detail is required to transport delicate items such as medicine and vaccines.

Real-time tracking makes it possible to enforce such safety essentials as required.

Automotive

JIT manufacturing is primarily dependent on the timely delivery of work in progress to avert stopped production lines.

The organization of large parts stocks is a critical issue due to the need for complex logistics systems.

Food and Beverage

Refrigerated transport means the products are in the best condition throughout their distribution.

Optimal route design contributes to short-time delivery and fewer spoiled foodstuffs.

Challenges for Businesses in Logistics Management

However, in the current world, logistics management has not been entirely without difficulty. Here are a few:

1. Rising Costs

The challenges involved include price instabilities of fuels, lack of experienced workforce, and rising transport costs.

2. Supply Chain Disruptions

War, successive hurricanes and other calamities, influenza, and other diseases disrupt supply chain systems.

3. Customer Expectations

This is especially true where customers demand two-day delivery and wish to pay nothing for the service.

4. Sustainability Goals

The impact of cost pressures is becoming one of the most authoritarian competing pressures because it also involves finding increasingly effective ways of being green.

Having the Right Logistics Knowledge

Managing the various logistics attributes can be challenging, and you don’t have to struggle alone. Working on your concepts and understanding of logistics management can present you with a new dimension of business operations that can help give you a competitive advantage.

That is where our trainers at Tech Mahindra Academy, one of the premier educational institutions, take the lead to encourage, prepare, and brush up on individuals for different domains, including logistics and supply chain courses. Learn technological skills, domain insights, and customer orientation, and make your logistics efficient and effective to support businesses.

Conclusion

The center of the modern economy revolves around the question of what is logistics management. These services facilitate getting the products from the producers to the consumers. In achieving organizational objectives, logistic management has been found quite central in using new technology, managing the supply chain, and attending to the specific needs of particular industries.

By understanding business logistics constraints such as those arising in the movement of goods, you can enhance the efficiency of businesses. By learning at Tech Mahindra Academy, you can be an asset in transforming advanced and effective logistics operations in the future.

Man, can you not invite your companion characters into the new party car in Star Rail like you can with the Serenitea Pot in Genshin? Like it's just another spot for them to randomly appear? It would up the appeal of the game SO much for me if you could 😭 (and if the level of customization potential was anywhere near that of the Serenitea Pot, for that matter.)

All three of the games I play right now have their distinct appeals to me, but in terms of gameplay, Star Rail is definitely the lowest on my list, and the lack of character interactivity and customization potential is probably the main factor into that ranking (next to it not being an open-world format and me just plain not enjoying most of the locations) -- on top of the character voice-overs being comparatively pretty sparse and the backstories being so cryptically written that I often struggle to understand them even with a guide, you just unlock those details... by leveling up the character, which you can do basically instantaneously if you have the materials on hand. There's not a time investment mechanic like with companionship in Genshin and intimacy in WuWa, where if you have the character accompany you every day for a few weeks you can gradually unlock all their details. Between that and the combat balancing lowkey being kinda broken, it makes it difficult for me to justify pulling for characters, because the novelty wears off so fast. 😔

Oh yeah speaking of roleplay since I mentioned the topic and I’m ungodly hyperfixated on the roleplays I’m in, I do wanna mention the fact that I have a multiverse roleplay server on Discord that people can ask to join at any moment so long as we’re mutuals

The general concept is people across the multiverse somehow get sent to a single abandoned island against their wills, located in the middle of an ocean so large and empty that trying to swim away would risk certain death. There is no locals to the island, only a ghost town filled with buildings of several different cultures and time periods. It’s a mystery action roleplay where people across the multiverse have to try to get along while stuck on an enclosed piece of land. Both character interaction and story focused in terms of direction

To set some focus as to what people roleplay on the island, some characters come from series including Fire Emblem, Pokémon, Honkai Star Rail, DND, Monster Hunter, God Eater, and many more (Including OCs, we love OCs on the Island :D)

People can also choose to join as a spectator if they just wanna watch the scenarios like a Netflix show, and choose to join the actual roleplay whenever they want. Of course no one has to ask to join I’d just figure I’d put the offer out there considering this roleplay is currently my special interest and I like to leave doors open for people. Also sorry I have to make it so you have to comment or DM to ask to join. I don’t wanna risk any bots or people I don’t know joining 🥲

Halong tourism trying to overcome damages of Yagi typhoon

Cruise Halong bay - The devastation caused by Typhoon Yagi is still a haunting experience for many people and businesses. According to the general assessment of the tourism industry, just a preliminary assessment of the damage has produced frightening results.

In particular, the tourist accommodation sector suffered damages from small-scale establishments, motels to 4-5 star luxury hotels and resorts. The largest damage was probably in Halong City when the accommodation establishments on shore suffered damage related to broken glass, broken roof tiles of villas, collapsed by wind, damaged ceilings, damaged furniture in the rooms, reception areas, restaurants, bars, and auxiliary areas. Along with that were broken trees, lamp posts in the premises, and damage to the electrical system, air conditioning, water, etc.

The restaurants, shops, shopping centers, businesses, souvenir shops, many of which mainly use steel frames, corrugated iron roofs, and simple materials, all collapsed, were blown away, broken, severely damaged, and many were even completely damaged. Some key tourist attractions such as: Quang Ninh Museum, Planning Palace, Provincial Fair and Exhibition, Sunworld entertainment area, Tuan Chau tourist area… suffered heavy damage to facilities…

Tourism service and management facilities on Halong Bay are also in a similar situation. According to the unit's statistics, most of the management and operation points on the bay of the Halong Bay Management Board have had their roofs blown off, damaged, or sunk. The Cua Van Floating Cultural Center was severely damaged, and 15 preserved raft houses at Cua Van were completely submerged. The stone railing of the wharf leading to Thien Cung Cave was broken. Many equipment, machinery, signs, and regulation boards were broken. Ornamental plants at tourist attractions on Halong Bay were almost completely broken.

Property of people and businesses at boat rowing and kayaking service points in the areas of Ba Hang, Cong Do, Cua Van, Hang Luon, Vung Vieng on Halong Bay was severely damaged. The system of tourist ports was more or less damaged. In particular, Tuan Chau International Passenger Port had its roof damaged. The offices and reception areas of businesses at the port were all damaged. Halong International Passenger Port had the entire pontoon of wharf No. 3 washed away, and 2 pontoons of wharf No. 2 sank. Businesses and tourist boat owners continued to be devastated after the storm when up to 27 tourist boats and 4 cargo boats sank, some boats were slightly damaged.

Along with Halong, other localities also recorded significant damage to tourism service infrastructure, green landscape systems that create beauty for destinations in the area. For example, at Quang Ninh Gate Tourist Area (Dong Trieu Town) with an area of ??20 hectares, including entertainment systems, resorts… located along the Vang Chua River.

The damage to tourism after Typhoon Yagi is difficult to measure, especially when tourism businesses have not yet fully recovered after the Covid-19 pandemic has passed. Recovery will also be a long-term story, but with a solid foundation and strong spirit of the tourism industry that has developed over a long period of time in Quang Ninh, we have hope for a revival and a chance for a spectacular recovery in the near future.

As of September 13, the province has 11/12 districts, towns, and cities with recognized tourist areas and spots ready to welcome visitors again after quickly cleaning. Among them, the two tourist areas of Binh Lieu and Co To have both overcome the storm's impact and welcomed visitors. 67/87 tourist spots are ready to welcome visitors again.

Halong City has 39 4-5 star hotels with 8,572 rooms, of which 5,196 rooms are ready to welcome guests (accounting for 60% of the total number of rooms). There are 36 hotels that are both under repair and welcoming guests (accounting for 85%). The 1-3 star tourist accommodation sector that meets standards is still ready to welcome guests with about 580 hotels, including 8,540 rooms.

In addition, the system of large, solid restaurants in Bai Chay and Hon Gai areas are still operating normally. Many souvenir shops and tourist service establishments are ready to reopen; many cafes and night eateries are operating normally.

In localities such as Mong Cai, Hai Ha, Uong Bi, 100% of accommodation facilities are ready to welcome guests; 30% of accommodation facilities with 60% of the total number of rooms in Co To district are ready to welcome guests; some onshore facilities in Van Don are also ready to serve…

This shows the great efforts of localities, businesses and individuals participating in tourism business in the area. For example, Legacy Yen Tu, although affected by flooding due to rising stream water, broken trees, prolonged power, water and telecommunication outages, has quickly overcome the situation to be able to welcome guests during and immediately after the storm. Businesses such as Halong Pearl Joint Stock Company also temporarily put aside worries about pearl farms in the bay being destroyed, urgently cleaned up and repaired 2 showrooms, pearl farming and pearl experience shops whose roofs were blown off and glass doors broken by the storm, to be able to welcome guests after 3 days of the storm.

Even Van Don International Airport and the two international passenger ports of Tuan Chau and Halong, which were more or less damaged, were soon put back into operation. Cruise ships quickly repaired their facilities, ready to operate 315/359 ships at both ports, accounting for 88%, including sightseeing ships, restaurant ships, and overnight ships.

Although not all, some destinations on the Halong Bay tour were also quickly checked to be ready to welcome guests, including sightseeing spots and overnight accommodations on the bay. And from September 13, cruise ships were ordered to continue taking visitors to visit and stay overnight on Halong Bay…

It is easy to see that tourism activities in Quang Ninh have recovered quickly after Typhoon Yagi. However, the assessment also shows that the impact of Typhoon No. 3 will lead to a weakening of the financial capacity of enterprises at different levels, affecting many aspects of the province, affecting the jobs and income of thousands of workers.

Therefore, supporting tourism businesses and workers to recover strongly in the coming time requires practical attention, consensus and joint efforts of the province and responsible agencies as well as efforts of each establishment, unit and tourism business in the area. The support is not only for a moment, in the short term, but it is necessary to have a roadmap and long-term solutions so that tourism businesses have a foundation to ensure truly sustainable development…

The Allure of Rooftop Decks & Patios

Imagine a tranquil escape overlooking the city skyline, a place for alfresco dining under the stars, or a sun-drenched haven for morning coffee. Rooftop decks and patios in First Floor Additions Sydney offer a unique opportunity to:

Expand Your Living Space: Gain valuable outdoor square footage, perfect for entertaining, relaxation, or creating a dedicated outdoor living area.

Fresh Air & Sunshine: Create a dedicated space to soak up the sunshine, enjoy fresh air, and connect with nature amidst the urban environment.

Increased Property Value: A well-designed rooftop deck or patio can significantly enhance your property's value, making it a smart investment.

Urban Oasis: Transform your rooftop into a private sanctuary, a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Deck vs. Patio: Choosing the Right Option for Your First Floor Addition Sydney

The choice between a deck and a patio for your First Floor Addition Sydney depends on several factors:

Structure: Decks are typically elevated platforms constructed with timber, composite materials, or even concrete. Patios, on the other hand, are generally ground-level extensions of your existing roof structure, often built with concrete, pavers, or tiles.

Material: Decks offer a range of material options, each with its own aesthetic appeal and durability considerations. Patios provide more flexibility in terms of integrating seamlessly with your existing roof's materials.

Drainage: Decks require proper waterproofing and drainage systems to prevent water damage to the lower levels. Patios, being part of the roof structure, often have built-in drainage solutions.

Design Aesthetics: Consider how the chosen material and design will complement your existing home's architectural style and your desired outdoor space aesthetic.

Design Considerations for Rooftop Decks & Patios in First Floor Additions Sydney

Council Approvals: Always check with your local council for development application (DA) requirements and any restrictions on rooftop additions in your area.

Structural Engineering: Ensure your existing home's foundation and roof structure can support the additional weight of a deck or patio. A qualified structural engineer can assess your property and provide recommendations for reinforcement if necessary.

Sun Exposure: Consider the amount of sun exposure your rooftop receives throughout the day. Incorporate shade solutions like pergolas, awnings, or strategically placed planters to create a comfortable outdoor space.

Privacy Screens: If overlooking neighbouring properties is a concern, consider installing privacy screens or planters to create a sense of seclusion.

Seating and Storage: Choose weatherproof furniture that complements the space's design. Built-in benches or ottomans can provide additional seating and storage solutions.

Safety Features: Install railings that meet safety regulations, especially if you have children or pets. Consider adding slip-resistant flooring for added safety.

Enhancing Your Rooftop Oasis

Lighting: String lights, fairy lights, or strategically placed lamps can create a magical ambiance for evening gatherings.

Outdoor Rug: Define the space and add a touch of comfort with a weatherproof outdoor rug.

Greenery: Introduce potted plants, herbs, or even a vertical garden to create a lush and inviting atmosphere.

Water Feature: The soothing sound of a water fountain can add a touch of tranquility to your rooftop oasis.

First Floor Additions Sydney: Essential Considerations

Building Expertise: Partnering with experienced and reputable builders specializing in First Floor Additions Sydney with expertise in rooftop decks and patios is crucial. They can guide you through the design, council approvals, construction, and ensure all safety regulations are met.

FAQs

How much does it cost to add a rooftop deck or patio to my First Floor Addition Sydney?

The cost will vary depending on the size, chosen materials, complexity of the design, and any necessary structural reinforcements. Expect to pay a premium compared to a ground-level patio due to the engineering and waterproofing requirements. However, reputable builders specializing in First Floor Additions Sydney can provide a detailed estimate based on your specific requirements.

What are the ongoing maintenance requirements for rooftop decks and patios?

Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity of your rooftop deck or patio. This may include: * Cleaning: Regularly sweep away debris and clean the surface to prevent staining and mildew growth. * Inspections: Conduct annual inspections for any signs of wear or tear, loose boards, or waterproofing issues. * Maintenance: Address any maintenance needs promptly, such as resealing the deck or re-grouting the patio tiles.

Will a rooftop deck or patio affect my home's energy efficiency?

A well-designed rooftop deck or patio can actually improve your home's energy efficiency. Strategic use of shade structures can help keep your living space cooler during hot summer months. Additionally, a rooftop deck can act as an additional layer of insulation, reducing heat transfer from the roof to the living area below.
