In a recent blog post announcing this update, the company revealed that the rollout of file locking began in Rapid Release domains yesterday and will continue for the next 15 days. Meanwhile, users on Scheduled Release domains can anticipate this feature to become available starting September 20th, with a similar 15-day phased release.

Costco now offering virtual medical care for $29 Virtual checkups, which cost $72 and include a typical lab panel and a virtual follow-up with a doctor, as well as virtual mental health consultations are among the medical services that can be found via a link on the Costco Pharmacy’s homepage. Sesame said that its customers are individuals without insurance and those with high deductibles who must pay cash. To keep costs down, it doesn’t accept health insurance. Costco made the decision to do so, joining other signiﬁcant retailers in doing so.

Navigating to “File information,” and selecting the “Lock” option Previously, restricting access to a file in Google was feasible via the Google Drive API or by employing file approval procedures—a comparable feature that enables you to request approval for a draft, locking it against modifications by anyone, regardless of their editing permissions.

Oracle founder Larry Ellison makes first-ever trip to Microsoft headquarters for cloud announcement READ MORE

A New Chapter in Decades-Long Rivalry Larry Ellison and Oracle have been competing with Microsoft in the database software arena for over three decades. Despite the rivalry, both companies are taking steps to cooperate more closely, leveraging each other’s strengths in the rapidly evolving technology landscape. For the first time in his career, Larry Ellison set foot in Microsoft’s headquarters outside Seattle, symbolizing a significant milestone in the partnership between the two tech giants. In a virtual presentation, Ellison expressed his appreciation for the collaboration’s expansion, stating, “It’s actually my first time in Redmond. It’s hard to believe. I waited till very late in my career to make this trip.” The integration of Oracle’s Exadata hardware into Microsoft’s Azure data centers holds the promise of enhanced data storage capabilities. Organizations will be able to utilize Oracle’s database software within the Azure environment, eliminating the need for installing Oracle hardware in their own data centers or relying on Oracle’s public cloud. Despite their ongoing competition in the cloud-based infrastructure market, Oracle and Microsoft are strategically aligning to cater to the evolving needs of their customers.

Mexico has always piqued the interest of tourists with its beautifully rich history, cultural roots, and globally celebrated cuisine.

The country is a paradise for tourists looking to embark on exciting places. However, if you are unsure whether or not you shoulds visit this beautiful country, you are at the right starting point. We will help make that decision easy for you, let’s dive in!

A Truly World-Class Mexican Cuisine While foods in Mexico need no Introduction, here are some dishes that we have handpicked that you should not miss: 1. Tacos Taco is the most famous dish in the country, savored globally. A taco, in general, is anything eaten on a piece of soft tortilla. While there are several types of tacos, the classic one is grilled over coal and served with a filling of thinly sliced meat—of your choice, topped with Onion, Guacamole, and a wedge of Lime. 2. Mole Recognized as the national dish, a Mole is a type of sauce prepared using more than 20 ingredients and served over chicken or turkey. The moles can vary depending on the region you are visiting. However, the most common varieties include red mole, green mole, yellow mole, and black mole. 3. Chile En Nogada Prepared using poblano peppers, the dish is stuffed with a mixture of meat, fruits, and nuts and poured with a smooth walnut sauce on top. To creatively showcase the colors of the Mexican flag, the dish is often garnished with pomegranate seeds and cilantro. 4. Guacamole As with Tacos, Guacamole is also one of the renowned dishes representatives of Mexican food culture. As the largest producer of the fruit, Avocados of Mexico are used to make the dip, and it’s generally paired with tortilla chips. The name, Guacamole, stems from the

26 | OCTOBER 2023

Nahuatl word “ahuacamolli,” meaning “avocado sauce.” The dish loved by the global foodie population is a musthave if you’re in the country. 5. Chocolate While chocolates from countries like Switzerland and Belgium have made a name for themselves, not many know that the birthplace of Chocolate is actually Mexico. At one stage, Chocolates were used as a currency due to their high perceived value and have played a part in religious ceremonies. Tabasco, one of the Mexican states, produces around 70% of the country’s cocoa. Chocolate lovers visiting can take things further as they explore the local chocolate museums. That includes the Museo Del Chocolate in Puebla and the Museo de Chocolate Maya in Riviera Maya.

is a Mexican-born Formula One Racing driver representing the Red Bull Racing Team. After a career kickstart with carting, Checo slowly made his way up to the pinnacle of motorsport, F1, with his grit and talent. With Formula One gaining global popularity, Checo’s fanbase is also reaching new highs. Today, many fans and pundits call him the “Mexican Minister of Defence” for showcasing his superior driving skills. 2. Salma Hayek Salma Hayek is a renowned Mexican Actress born in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz. She aspired to be an actor from a young age, and rose to fame with her character in the Mexican telenovela “Teresa” in 1989. Although she began with relatively smaller roles, she later played characters in prominent films such as Frida, Desperado, and Traffic, and other films, as her career progressed.

6. Tequila 3. Carlos Slim Tequila is one drink you should count on to upgrade your drinking palette. Tequila in Mexico is a subjective matter, however, our advice is to find the one that suits your taste, and it shouldn’t be too difficult either with many brands to choose from. Originating in Mexico, Tequila is made with the use of the blue agave plant. An interesting fact about tequila is that it has to be made in specific regions of the country to earn the honor of a Tequila. The authorized parts include Guanajuato, Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, or Tamaulipas. 4 Renowned Personalities from Mexico

Carlos Slim is a Mexican-born entrepreneur who once topped the list of wealthiest people in the world. He has amassed his wealth through contributions in various sectors such as communications, insurance, construction, energy, mining, retailing, finance, and more. For many years, a primary part of his holding was his ownership of the Mexican telecommunication company Teléfonos de México, also known as Telmex. In addition to that, he has also contributed to the philanthropy field by founding a not-for-profit art museum called Museo Soumaya. 4. Javier Hernández

1. Checo Perez Sergio Perez, nicknamed Checo Perez,

Javier Hernadez, also lovingly nicknamed “Chicharito,” is a footballer

www.theenterpriseworld.com | 27

born in Guadalajara. How did he get his nickname? Chicharito, meaning pea, was given to him for his green eyes. Football was always a big part of Chicharito’s family, with his father and grandfather both representing the Mexican team at a national level. In his career, he has represented several world-known clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Sevilla, and the latest—LA Galaxy. 7 Unheard-of Facts about Mexico 1. Real Name of Mexico While almost everyone calls it Mexico, the country’s oﬃcial name is Estados Unidos Mexicanos or the United Mexican States. 2. Hairless Dog of Mexico Considered sacred by both Aztecs and Mayan, Xoloitzcuintle has been an integral part of Mexican culture. Its name comes from Xolotl, god of lightning and death, and itzcuintli, which means dog. The Aztecs held a belief that this dog was created by the god to protect living beings and guide the souls of the dead through Mictlán, known as the underworld of Aztecs.

4. Most-Visited In Latin America A report by the World Tourism Organization placed Mexico in the 10th spot, alluding that it is the most visited Latin American country, with the most number of global visitors. 5. World Culture Heritage Cuisine It is no secret that Mexican cuisine is one of the most loved cuisine in the world. As a testament to the global adoration, it was declared a global cultural heritage, with a feature in UNESCO’s Intangible Heritage of Humanity list. 6. 35 World Heritage Sites On the list of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites, the country ranks seventh with a total of 35 World Heritage Sites. Those sites include various tourist attractions such as ruins, mines, canals, and more. 7. Not a Single Oﬃcial Language That’s right, while Spanish is the country’s dominant language, Mexico does not have a single national language. However, the 60-plus languages used across the country are nothing but a testament to the country’s diversity. Our Verdict

3. Don’t Shave & Drive In 2008 as a safety measure, the Mexican city of Torreon started penalizing people who put on make-up or shaved their beards with electric razors, while they drove their vehicles simultaneously. Don’t say we didn’t tell you and make sure you don’t shave and drive or do your makeup when you visit.

28 | OCTOBER 2023

While a visit between November to March is ideal, even in other months, Mexico is still a fascinating place to be in. From its gobsmacking food, world heritage sites, and scenic natural beauty to the welcoming nature of the locals, Mexico is one of the most iconic global destinations that one should visit at least once in their lifetime.
