Beautiful Cancun Beaches...

Another fun and bolder AU!

Charlie as the president of QSMP. He is an ambitious and a sincere leader, though sometimes not effective but he is respected enough and loved enough by the people.

Mariana as his personal maid. He is hardworking and headstrong, shaped by his poor upbringing working to get to where he is now.

They are on opposite ends. They are worlds apart from each other.

And yet they hold a much deeper relationship. A secret they strive to desperately keep. What started as a physical relationship bloomed into something more sweet and more romantic.

There’s a lot at stake in a forbidden love like theirs. The possibilities of getting caught, other people being suspicious, rumors and journalists insisting to uncover the truth, the lines blurring between work and their relationship, the scandal of being found out…

Mariana didn’t know what he was signing up for, being in love with the leader of the nation.

Charlie didn’t know what he was signing up for, being in love with someone he isn’t supposed to.

Charlie has proposed to Mariana several times, that he is willing to give up his presidency and everything else just to be with him. But Mariana can’t let him do that, that there are things more important than their own happiness, that he’s content with their secret moments together.

Will they keep staying together and keep going, knowing that their relationship is doomed to fail? Will they end it before things escalated for the worst? Will they run away together, plan an escape and leave everything behind?

A few headcanons in this AU:

Mariana made a strong impression on Charlie by scolding him about being messy. A first for a maid to do to the president of a whole nation, and for that reason, Charlie made him his personal maid.

Mariana often helps Charlie dress up. Buttoning his shirt, straightening the lapels of his suit jacket, helping with the necktie. This is probably where the attraction started. A lot of eye contact and wandering hands and close proximities.

Charlie knows his maid is pretty, which unfortunately means that Mariana gets flirted with a lot. By other maids, by cooks and by bodyguards. Every time it happens, Charlie (kind of) takes advantage of his presidency and gives them a scare. Most of the time, he’d make sure that they change their stations, that their shifts are switched and they work as far away as possible from Mariana and such.

When they first had sex, they both promised that it will never happen again. Well… It didn’t last long. It happened again and again. And it was impossible to keep their hands to themselves until the first rumor broke out.

Charlie often showers Mariana with gifts from his travels. Mariana scolds him that they’ll be found out this way but Charlie can’t help but be reminded of his maid whenever he’s away and missing him.

They often talk about a lot of what ifs at night. That Mariana dreams of them running away and going to Cancun together. Charlie on the other hand, imagined having children with him, that they’d look good together as a family.

They have a secret code for secret meetings whenever there are people around. Like wrist taps, adjusting their glasses in a specific way, specific words in conversations.

Feel free to add more if you feel like it. Or use this for art and fics and stuff 👉🏻👈🏻. I was just having thoughts because as much as I love First Lady Mariana, I imagine an AU of a forbidden love affair but politcians LOL Imagine how hot, intense, dramatic, scandalous, fluffy and angsty it could be for Slimeriana NDJWJDJSJ

Hey blue, could you tell me about whale sharks? :]

-LT

WHALE SHARKKSSSSSSS

Whale sharks (scientific name Rhincodon Typus) are the largest fish in the sea (specifically females)! The longest whale shark recorded is 61.5 feet long, and the heaviest about 47,000 pounds, or 23.5 tons! Their mouths can be around 4-5 feet wide. They also have the thickest skin of any animal, with various sources estimating it to be anywhere between 4-11 inches thick! Their spot patterns are unique like fingerprints and can be used for identification.

Whale sharks are gentle, slow swimming (up to 3 mph) filter feeders that swim around, open their mouth, suction in water like a vacuum, and eat the little organisms that end up inside! These include plankton, krill, and squid! They have tiny little teeth on the inside of their mouth so when the water floods in, the organisms are trapped in the mouth, and then the water goes back out their gills. They have very small throats so they can only eat small organisms, and as such, they pose no threat to humans.

Like many types of sharks, whale sharks are covered in teeth-like scales called dermal denticles that reduce drag while swimming. However, unlike most sharks, whale sharks have these denticles ON THEIR EYES! It is thought to be that this is a method of protecting the eye, and whale sharks can also retract their eyes between 1/2 inch and 1 inch into their skulls to protect them.

Another fun fact is that no one has ever seen a whale shark give birth!! However, it is known that whale sharks are ovivipariois, meaning the pups (baby whale sharks) hatch from eggs while still inside the mother and then the mother gives birth to live young. A pregnant whale shark was caught and the number of embryos inside her were counted at around 300, so it’s estimated they give birth to about 300 pups at a time. Unfortunately, whale shark pups do have predators including other shark species and orcas, even though adult whale sharks are mainly only threatened by humans, and the survival rate of a whale shark pup to adulthood about one in ten.

Human threat is of high concern to whale sharks, as they are an endangered species. Habitat loss due to overfishing and pollution, illegal poaching and selling of whale shark fins, oil, and meat, entanglement in nets and other debris, boat strikes, and unsustainable tourism all pose threats to these remarkable creatures. However, sustainable ecotourism provides a valuable incentive to keep these animals thriving and their environments intact.

Whale sharks are highly migratory animals that prefer deep trenches of water next to a shallower shelf, as nutrients rise into the shallow water and then they can dive to feed on plankton, krill, squid, etc before coming up to warm back up in the shallow area. Prime coastal feeding spots (at certain times in the season) include Ningaloo Reef in Australia, Cancun, Isla Mujeres, and Isla Holbox in Mexico, Mafia Island in Tanzania, Utila in Honduras, Donsol Bay in the Philippines, the Galápagos Islands, Tofo Beach in Mozambique, and the South Ari Atoll in the Maldives.

For many of these places, ecotourism involving whale shark snorkeling excursions has boosted the area’s economy while providing a powerful incentive for the natural environment to be preserved. However, overcrowding can prove a danger to these beautiful fish, so an ethical whale shark snorkeling trip must: forbid “chumming the waters” or feeding the whale sharks to attract them, limit the number of tourists and boats in the area at a time, only allow snorkeling so the whale shark can safely and quickly swim out of a tourists’ reach if frightened or distressed, and prohibit tourists from touching the whale sharks because touching a whale shark can disrupt the delicate mucous membranes over their skin that help protect them from parasites and bacteria.

I fell in love with whale sharks after seeing them at the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, the only aquarium in the West to house whale sharks. These whale sharks came from Taiwan, in the mid/late 2000s, and were transported by a UPS plane in specially built tanks!

So there's this awesome place down in Cancun called Xcaret that's a combo water park/beaches, historical site and general tourist attraction. At the end of the night they always do this huge show that's a retelling of the history of Mexico and they showcase region specific customs and performances from each state (mexico is like America where the country is split up into different states each with their own cities and such . My favorite is Danza de los viejitos or dance of the elders where old performancrrs dress up in this exaggerated cartoony mask and do a simple but cute dance number.) They always start with two games. First they start is one which is still very impressive and fun to watch.

Then, if it's dark enough outside, they raise the safety net, turn the lights off then set the ball on fire (I have seen that ball burn the net)

The whole show is roughly two hours long and you can find it online if you're interested.

Three of the four elements are represented in types of hockey; Air hockey (air), field hockey (earth), ice hockey (water). Fire hockey needs to be a thing.

Expedia frequently runs promotions on packages during peak travel planning periods, such as Black Friday or New Year’s. These limited-time deals can offer huge savings on popular destinations, so it’s worth keeping an eye out or signing up for Expedia’s newsletter to be informed about upcoming sales.

5. The Benefits of Booking Through Expedia’s App

While Expedia’s website is robust, the Expedia app offers additional conveniences and incentives.

Dynamic Assortment based on Seasons and Demand

Written By: Gargi Sarma

Mexico is distinguishing itself as one of the major markets through persistent development and gradual but consistent expansion in numerous areas. One industry that could outpace Mexico's typical projected national growth is the retail and consumer sector. By 2028, the retail market in Mexico is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5%. A mix of sociodemographic and economic changes, products, and commercial strategies to lure Mexican customers will drive this. More than any other industry, Mexico's retail and consumer sectors represent the prospects arising from the country's economic dualism. Alongside the resilient traditional 'changarros' and adapted ideas like OXXO and Farmacias Similares, there is a steady growth and development of modern format retail outlets and global franchises like Walmart and Starbucks.

In Mexico, COVID-19 has had a major impact on consumer shopping habits. Companies increased their efforts on digital platforms in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. These investments included creating a more user-friendly website, introducing direct-to-consumer operations, and forming partnerships with last-mile delivery providers.

The retail fashion sector in Mexico is thriving and changing quickly, driven by a wide range of consumer preferences and buying habits. Retailers can find a wide range of prospects in the Mexican market, from vibrant metropolises to charming small communities. A significant obstacle, though, is there among all of this dynamism: seasonal variations in consumer demand. Mexico's vast territory, diverse climate, and rich cultural traditions create a compelling case for optimizing assortments based on seasonal and location-specific factors. Here's why:

Figure 1: Importance of Assortment Planning

Increased Sales and Profits:

Meeting local demand: Offering products relevant to the local climate, holidays, and cultural preferences ensures you cater to customer needs and avoid stocking unwanted inventory. Imagine stocking winter jackets in Cancun or beach gear in Monterrey during winter.

Seasonal trends: Capitalizing on seasonal events like Christmas, back-to-school, or Cinco de Mayo with targeted product offerings can significantly boost sales.

Differentiation from competitors: Understanding local nuances allows you to stand out by offering unique products not available elsewhere, attracting and retaining customers.

Reduced Costs and Improved Efficiency:

Optimized inventory management: Matching your assortment to local demand helps reduce overstock and deadstock, lowering storage and disposal costs.

Improved supplier relationships: Working with local suppliers for seasonal products aligns with sustainability goals and potentially reduces transportation costs.

Efficient marketing: Tailoring marketing campaigns to specific locations and seasons ensures you reach the right audience with relevant messaging, maximizing campaign effectiveness.

Challenges of Seasonal Fluctuations:

Inventory management: Predicting demand accurately and avoiding overstock or stockouts is challenging, especially with sudden weather changes.

Price optimization: Balancing profits with competitive pricing during different seasons requires careful planning and adjustments.

Marketing and promotions: Tailoring campaigns to each season and reaching the right audience while managing advertising budgets effectively is crucial.

Staffing: Hiring and training additional staff during peak seasons can be costly and demanding.

Figure 2: Challenges in Assortment Planning (Source: Why is Assortment Planning so Difficult for Retailers? A Framework and Research Agenda, Murali et al., 2009)

Geographical Considerations in Mexico:

Mexico's vastness and diverse geography paint a complex picture for retailers. Understanding how climate, terrain, and cultural traditions influence consumer behavior across regions is crucial for tailoring assortments and maximizing success.

Diverse Landscape:

Northern regions: Arid climates with hot summers and mild winters dominate. Think Chihuahua, Sonora, and Baja California.

Central highlands: Temperate climate with warm, dry summers and cool winters. Puebla, Tlaxcala, and Mexico City fall under this category.

Southern regions: Tropical climates with high humidity and hot temperatures year-round. Chiapas, Quintana Roo, and Oaxaca exemplify this zone.

Coastal areas: Varied climates depending on location. Pacific coasts tend to be drier, while Gulf coasts experience more humidity.

Impact on Preferences:

Clothing: Northern regions demand lighter clothing year-round, while southern regions require breathable fabrics suitable for humid conditions. Winter gear becomes relevant in the highlands.

Outdoor activities: Northern regions favor desert sports and hiking, while coastal areas see demand for water sports and beach gear. The highlands might see higher sales of camping equipment.

Home decor: Southern regions might opt for lighter furniture and natural materials, while colder areas might prefer heavier fabrics and heating solutions.

Food: Local ingredients and dishes vary greatly across regions. Northern cuisine tends to feature meat and beans, while southern cuisine leans towards seafood and tropical fruits.

Data-driven Approach to Assortment Planning:

Figure 3: Data-driven Approach to Assortment Planning (Source: Analytic Edge)

These days, modern retail assortment planning is data-driven, using sales data to estimate demand and gain insight into customer preferences and historical performance. By disclosing rival tactics and market trends, market research enhances this strategy and enables merchants to modify assortments appropriately. Customization of product offers is made possible by the deeper understanding of customer behavior and preferences provided by consumer insights obtained through focus groups and surveys. By offering precise demand projections based on historical sales data and industry trends, machine learning and predictive analytics further improve assortment decisions. Retailers earn higher sales as a result of this inventory optimization.

Implementing Seasonal and Location-Based Assortments

The implementation of location- and season-based assortments in retail necessitates a methodical approach that takes seasonal shifts in consumer demand and geographic variations into account. Retailers can customize assortments to meet local demand and seasonal components by examining market trends, regional preferences, and historical sales data. Data analytics and inventory management systems enable strategies for optimizing inventory levels and SKU distribution across sites. Efficient cooperation between suppliers and partners guarantees the prompt supply of seasonal merchandise, and partnerships with local designers provide distinctive, locally-inspired items to assortments, making them more appealing to local clients.

Technology Solutions for Assortment Optimization:

Figure 4: Strategies to Optimize Product Assortment

Technology solutions are essential for retail assortment optimization because they provide state-of-the-art tools and platforms that improve decision-making and expedite assortment planning. Retailers can take advantage of a range of software tools and platforms, including category management software and assortment optimization platforms, that are designed to match their unique requirements. Because they can provide data-driven insights and predictive modeling skills, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are essential for enhancing assortment strategies. Careful planning and execution are necessary for the successful integration of digital solutions into retail operations. To guarantee maximum benefits, special requirements must be assessed, comprehensive training must be given, and maintenance must continue.

Examples of Mexican Retailers Using Dynamic Assortment:

Costco - Costco's dynamic assortment strategy keeps up with seasonal and cultural trends, such as Mexican holidays and festivals, and offers a variety of products to attract customers.

Walmart - Walmart's Mexican stores, such as Sam's Club and Walmart Supercenter, feature dynamic assortments of products that change based on the seasons and customer demand.

The Home Depot - The Home Depot's Mexican stores offer a wide range of products for DIY enthusiasts and contractors, including seasonal items such as Christmas lights and Easter decorations.

Target - Target's Mexican stores, such as Target Hidalgo and El Paso.

Conclusion:

In summary, changing customer tastes, macroeconomic conditions, and technological breakthroughs will propel the retail industry in Mexico, which is expected to experience rapid expansion. Retailers may successfully manage seasonal swings, regional variances, and shifting market dynamics to optimize assortments and boost profitability by using data-driven strategies. The secret to success in this dynamic and exciting market will be to leverage technology solutions, strategic relationships, and a thorough awareness of local situations.

Understanding the real estate market in Cancun Before you start looking for homes for sale in cancun mexico , it's essential to understand the local real estate market. The real estate market in Cancun is constantly evolving, with new developments always popping up. This means that various properties are available at multiple price points. One thing to remember is that the Cancun real estate market is heavily influenced by tourism. This means that properties near popular tourist destinations, such as the Hotel Zone or downtown Cancun, tend to be more expensive. However, there are also plenty of properties located in quieter, residential neighborhoods that offer a more affordable option. Another factor to consider is that many properties in Cancun are sold unfurnished, so you will need to factor in the cost of furnishing your new home. Additionally, it's essential to consider the cost of maintenance and upkeep, as many properties in Cancun require regular maintenance due to the tropical climate.

Finding homes for sale in Cancun Once you understand the local real estate market, it's time to start looking for homes for sale in Cancun.
