Marchers in Philadelphia's El Carnaval de Puebla en Filadelfia don caricature costumes depicting the Mexican army that prevailed over the French and Turkish forces during the 1862 Battle of Puebla, commonly known as Cinco de Mayo. Many of the bearded masks, beaded capes, headdresses and other costume accessories are crafted in Mexico and, by tradition, are meant to disguise the identities of participants. First introduced to the city in 2007, the parade and festival brings in tens of thousands of marchers from around the U.S. and Mexico.

Swedes don't quite know what to make of this sudden male surplus, which is highly unusual in the West, where women historically have been in the majority in almost every country. But it may be a sign of things to come in Europe as changes in life expectancy and migration transform demographics. The tipping point in Sweden happened in March 2015, when population statistics showed 277 more men than women. (AP Photo/Frank Augstein, file)
