Dos auxiliares de vuelo se enamoraron en un avión. Esto fue lo que pasó después

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:38:05 GMT

(CNN) — En un reciente vuelo transatlántico de Florida a Londres, los auxiliares de vuelo Hunter Smith-Lihas y John Lihas, ambos casados, cruzaron miradas al otro lado del pasillo.Ambos se sonrieron antes de volver a servir champán a los pasajeros de primera clase.Esta sonrisa compartida fue fugaz, pero lo dijo todo. Y más tarde, cuando Hunter y John estaban de vacaciones al mismo tiempo, la pareja se encontró sentada en la sala de descanso de la tripulación, reflexionando sobre la vida en común y las carreras que han construido juntos.“Pasé cinco minutos en el avión contigo, cuando ni siquiera debía hacerlo, y ahora vivimos juntos en la ciudad, y tú estás sentado frente a mí en el avión y trabajamos juntos”, recuerda Hunter que le dijo a John.“Cuando conoces a alguien por primera vez, nunca piensas que llegará tan lejos. Es algo surrealista. Y, sinceramente, te hace muy feliz, porque te preguntas cómo es que llegué hasta aquí”.Encuentro en un aviónLa h...

Mickelson relieved to make PGA Championship cut after 2nd-round struggles

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:38:05 GMT

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — After plunking a tee shot in the water, and missing 10 fairways and six greens in regulation, Phil Mickelson closed a haphazard second round at the PGA Championship on Friday clinging to the one positive he could find.Poorly as Lefty played in carding a 2-over 72 that put him at 5-over 145 at Oak Hill, Mickelson anticipated he did enough to make the cut.“I’m just a fraction off. This is as bad as I’ve played in a long time,” Mickelson said. “And yet, I’m still here on the weekend and I have a chance to turn it around.”The two-time PGA Championship winner, who teed off in the morning, ultimately made the cut on the number, one of 76 players advancing to the weekend.And it wouldn’t be extraordinary for Mickelson, who has won 45 PGA Tour events and six majors, to mount a charge. He did so as recently as the Masters last month, when he shot a fourth-round low of 7-under 65 to finish in a tie for second with Brooks Koepka.Yet Mickelson’s surge at Augusta seems more...

Lukashenko’s Belarus isn’t going anywhere just yet

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:38:05 GMT

Sergei Kuznetsov is a freelance journalist covering Eastern Europe. His work has been published in European outlets, including the Financial Times and POLITICO.The health of a nation’s leader would hardly disrupt the stability of a country with democratically elected institutions and prevailing rule of law. However, it may spell great trouble for authoritarian Belarus, where the entire political system has been concentrated in the hands of a single person.Sixty-eight-year-old Alexander Lukashenko has ruled Belarus since 1994, and his apparently shattered health was thrust into the spotlight recently, after an unusual public absence for almost a week after the Victory Day parade in Moscow earlier this month.Lukashenko looked unhealthy during the celebrations, which he left ahead of other attending post-Soviet leaders. And when he reappeared in public in Belarus, his battered appearance and bandaged left arm only added to mounting speculation regarding his condition.“There are many ru...

Greece’s ruling conservatives in election pole position but messy outcome likely

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:38:05 GMT

ATHENS — Greece’s conservative ruling party is expected to come out on top in Sunday’s election, but the marathon to form a government may be just starting.The New Democracy party of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis maintains a safe lead over its main rival, the left-wing Syriza, according to the latest polls, despite his premiership being burdened with a spying scandal, spiraling inflation and mounting concerns over the rule of law. Perhaps most importantly in Sunday’s vote, his government has also faced pressure over its handling of a deadly train crash earlier this year. But Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras seems to be still carrying the baggage of the tumultuous first months of his leadership in 2015 at the height of the financial crisis, which led to Greece’s third international bailout program.Nonetheless, New Democracy is unlikely to get enough votes — 45 percent — to win an outright majority, as these elections are being held under a new proportional representation...

Baseball fans swarmed Fenway Park Friday for the 11th annual Boston College ALS Awareness Game.BC faced Norte Dame in the game, raising money for the Pete Frates Family Foundation, which helps ALS patients and their families with the cost of specialized home health care required as the disease progresses. Friday’s game was also a celebration of life for former BC captain Pete Frates. Frates, who passed away in 2019 after a seven-year battle with ALS, also inspired the viral Ice Bucket Challenge.“I get a lot of people saying, ‘What do you think Pete would think?’ and I said ‘Well, Pete would be so honored’ because Pete was so honored that everyone did the Ice Bucket Challenge,” Frates’ mother, Nancy Frates told 7NEWS. “I know what Pete would think tonight,” she continued. “‘Those bird ball guys better win.’ Because that would be top of mind.”The Ice Bucket Challenge raised millions of dollars toward ALS research.
