REUTERS/Daniel Becerril/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsMEXICO CITY, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Samuel Garcia, one of the two main opposition hopefuls competing in Mexico's 2024 presidential election, has withdrawn from the contest to return to his post as governor of the northern state of Nuevo Leon, his party said on Saturday. "I have decided to not participate in the electoral race for President of the Republic," the 35-year-old Garcia said in a statement from the Nuevo Leon government made public by his center-left Citizens' Movement (MC) party. Garcia then became embroiled in a dispute about who would replace him in Nuevo Leon, where his political opponents control the state legislature, which votes in the interim governor. Recent opinion polls have given Garcia around 10% support in the presidential race, putting him behind Xochitl Galvez, candidate of the main opposition alliance.

☆ Mexican Olympians avoid auctioning medals as airline steps in to fly them to world championships
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

Reuters —Mexico’s largest airline has offered to fly Olympic divers Alejandra Orozco and Gabriela Agúndez to this year’s world championships for free after government funding cuts forced them to try to find ways to pay their own passage. Elite Mexican aquatic athletes have been driven to selling towels and bathing suits among other fundraising initiatives since government funding was cut in a row over the governance of the Mexican Swimming Federation (FMN). Moments later, however, they received an on-air call from an Aeromexico executive, who said the airline would ferry the entire diving team to the Aquatics World Championships in Japan in July. The Aeromexico offer is not the first case of private initiative coming to the aid of Mexico’s aquatic athletes. Billionaire businessman Carlos Slim, through his philanthropic foundation, funded the Artistic Swimming team’s trip to the World Championships in Egypt, where they won three golds and a bronze earlier this week.

[1/4] Migrants, without a place to stay upon arrival in the city, seek safe shelter at the District 12 station of the Chicago Police Department in Chicago, Illinois, U.S. May 17, 2023. Some migrants seeking a safe place to sleep have turned to police stations. Earlier this month, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, resumed a campaign of busing migrants to Democratic strongholds further north, including Chicago and New York City. The busing aims to alleviate pressure on border cities and call attention to what Abbott says were overly lenient policies by Biden's Democratic administration. New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has called on the Biden administration to provide more funding to cities receiving recently arrived migrants.

Growing up in Burundi in East Africa, Mr. Mamba, 42, learned to cook traditional regional flavors from his mother, who owned a restaurant.

☆ I do bottle service for a Las Vegas nightclub and can make thousands in tips each night — but the job is a lot grosser than people realize

"Bottle girl" is slang for girls who work in clubs and do bottle service specifically, but both terms describe what I do. I got the job two weeks after I turned 21, so I hadn't even officially been to a club yet. All the clubs in Las Vegas, mine included, are usually open one weekday and then on the weekends. Our job is to guide them through the night, although we're supposed to sell to them and encourage them to buy. But I know some girls who are uncomfortable about handshakes and high fives because in a nightclub we just don't really know where people's hands have been.

☆ (video) „Ce m-aș face fără întâmplările absurde din viața mea?” Astăzi, se fac 114 ani de la nașterea Fridei Kalho

(video) „Ce m-aș face fără întâmplările absurde din viața mea?” Astăzi, se fac 114 ani de la nașterea Fridei KalhoAstăzi, 6 iulie 2021, se împlinesc 114 de ani de la nașterea Fridei Kahlo, renumita artistă plastică mexicană care a adus lumii un nou suflu picturii, remarcându-se prin autoportrete realizate într-un stil suprarealist. „Ce m-aș face fără întâmplările absurde din viața mea?”, spunea Frida despre momentele care ulterior i-au devenit laitmotiv pentru picturile sale, pentru că Frida s-a luptat cu multe tipuri de boli pe tot parcursul vieții. De exemplu, când avea șase ani, a fost molipsită cu virusul care, în consecință, i-a lăsat piciorul drept mult mai subțire decât cel stâng. Artista s-a născut în casa pe nume Caza Azul (în traducere, Casa Albastră), unde a și murit mai apoi, chiar dacă pe parcursul vieții a trăit în mai multe orașe ale lumii. Așadar, Casa Albastră a fost transformată într-un muzeu după ce Frida a murit.
