McDonald's, Starbucks, and Coca-Cola are the latest companies to leave Russia.
Public pressure appears to work sometimes, as several of the world's largest corporations have declared plans to discontinue operations in Russia after being pressured to do so.
McDonald's stated yesterday that it would close all of its roughly 800 stores in Russia, citing Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a reason.
"Every day, we serve millions of Russian consumers who rely on McDonald's," stated Chris Kempczinski, CEO of McDonald's. "At the same time, our morals dictate that we cannot turn a blind eye to the needless human suffering in Ukraine."
President Biden declared yesterday that his government will restrict all Russian oil and gas imports in an effort to strike harder on Russia's economy.
"Today, I am announcing that the United States will target Russia's primary economic artery. We are prohibiting all imports of Russian crude oil, natural gas, and energy "As Biden stated. "This implies that Russian oil will no longer be accepted at US ports, and the American people will inflict another devastating blow on Putin's war machine."

When you take an elderly parent to a doctor's appointment, you find yourself in a variety of situations. You're now more than a worried family member; you're also a caregiver and a medical advocate. Our advice can aid you in navigating the system and assisting your parent or family member who is receiving care.
Hundreds of millions of family carers are in need of assistance.
While most of us aren't equipped to handle these responsibilities, we're not alone: about 40 million people in the United States are responsible for family members. They're learning as they go, just like you. And, for good reason, veterans know that planning is crucial when taking a parent to the doctor. "The time you have with a doctor is limited, perhaps 20 or 30 minutes. To fit as much as possible into your appointment, you'll need to be efficient and organized, "Dr Suzanne Salamon, associate chief of gerontology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Harvard affiliate, agrees.
The following are 10 suggestions to help you stay on track before, during, and after your appointment.
I am all about the happy moments in my life. Today happens to be women's day. I've been mentally low since I left #UKRAINE 🇺🇦 for #Hungary. But I must say, the support you've all shown us has been incredible. I haven't been able to do anything fun; my days have mostly consisted of eating and sleeping. I've experienced a range of feelings, but in the end, I'm grateful to be alive to celebrate yet another women's day. So, God bless all the good-hearted women in the world, and a special women's day to the Ukrainian women during this difficult time.
Happy International women's day.

So I received this women's day message that I love so much. Read with me.
It’s women’s day again. As cliché as this may sound, it’s one of the best holidays of the year, as it is a day set aside to celebrate the spice of my life. Without you, my life tastes bland, baby girl.
I appreciate your strength, your tenacity, your vulnerability, your beauty, as well as your beautiful heart. Without you by my side, I can’t truly call myself a man. I love you, baby girl, and I love the way you love me. Happy Women’s Day, my sunshine.
Preeclampsia prevention may be as simple as taking an aspirin
Preeclampsia is a common and serious pregnancy condition that results in elevated blood pressure and protein in the urine. It is most common during the third trimester or just after birth, but there may be a simple approach to help prevent it.
Preeclampsia can cause kidney and liver irregularities, blood clotting issues, headaches, strokes, and even death if you are pregnant. It makes it more difficult for a growing fetus to receive nutrients and oxygen. Additionally, it has been associated with premature birth and low birth weight in infants. However, according to a recent statement from the US Preventive Services Task Force, daily low-dose aspirin may help prevent several of these disorders (USPSTF).
Who is at the greatest risk of developing preeclampsia?
While preeclampsia can strike without notice, certain risk factors increase the likelihood of it occurring:
Carrying multiples, such as twins or triplets.
Having diabetes.
Being 35 or older.
Being obese, defined as having a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30.
Having high blood pressure prior to pregnancy.
Having kidney illness, or having an autoimmune disorder.
Preeclampsia is also more prevalent in Black people as a result of systemic racism, which limits access to care, and can be a cause of chronic stress as a result of variables such as food and housing insecurity, which contribute to poor health and well-being.
Preeclampsia affects around one in every twenty-five pregnancies in the United States. It is responsible for nearly one in every five medically induced preterm births. Preventing it will result in the saving of lives.
