Moldova Election Campaign Starts, Some Fear Russia Influence CHISINAU, MOLDOVA — Moldova's electoral campaign has begun ahead of parliamentary elections, amid concerns that Russia is seeking to influence the results in the former Soviet republic. The campaign began Monday in the February 24 ballot for the 101-seat legislature currently controlled by a broadly pro-European coalition. Concerns in Moldova arose after Russia's Interior Ministry on December 3 said that Moldovans who have overstayed their residence permits in Russia can return to Moldova from January 1 to February 25 without being penalized. The ministry said Moldova's pro-Russian President Igor Dodon had requested the measure. Dodon says there are 160,000 Moldovans whose residence permits have expired. Moldovans who live in Russia are believed to generally support the pro-Russian Socialists' Party. Last week Premier Pavel Filip said the development could be “considered an intervention” by Russia in the campaign. https://www.voanews.com/a/moldova-election-campaign-starts-some-fear-russia-influence/4694002.html

Campania electorală din Moldova începe, unii se tem de influența Rusiei CHIȘINĂU, MOLDOVA Campania electorală a Moldovei a început înainte de alegerile parlamentare, pe fondul preocupărilor pe care Rusia încearcă să le influențeze în fosta republică sovietică. Campania a început luni, în alegerile din 24 februarie, pentru legislatura de 101 locuri, controlată în prezent de o coaliție profund europeană. Preocupările în Moldova au apărut după ce, la 3 decembrie, ministrul de Interne al Rusiei a declarat că moldovenii care și-au depășit permisele de ședere în Rusia se pot întoarce în Moldova între 1 ianuarie și 25 februarie, fără a fi penalizați. Ministerul a declarat că președintele pro-rus al Republicii Moldova, Igor Dodon, a cerut măsura. Dodon declară că există 160.000 de moldoveni ale căror autorizații de ședere au expirat. Se crede că moldovenii care trăiesc în Rusia sprijină, în general, partidul socialist pro-rus. Săptămâna trecută, premierul Pavel Filip a declarat că dezvoltarea ar putea fi "considerată o intervenție" a Rusiei în campanie.

Senators Want Update on Progress of Universal Flu Vaccine
January 27, 2019 8:46 AM Associated Press
BRUNSWICK, MAINE — Maine's independent U.S. senator says he's joining a group of Senate colleagues to call on the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease to provide an update on research into a universal flu vaccine. Sen. Angus King says the initiative is about reducing "the relentless burden the flu places on American families each year." The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease released a strategic plan for a universal flu vaccine last year. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website says formulation of the flu vaccine is reviewed annually and updated to keep up with changing viruses. As a result, effectiveness can vary year to year. The senators say the institute should describe for them how it has used funding provided by Congress to develop a universal vaccine. https://www.voanews.com/a/senators-want-update-on-progress-of-universal-fluvaccine/4760714.html Glosar:

Institutul National de alergie si boli infectioase a lansat un plan strategic pentru un vaccin antigripal universal anul trecut.

Ca urmare, eficacitatea poate varia de la an la an.

Should Fast Food Come With a Warning like Drugs? You can get fast food on almost any street nowadays. Fast food and junk food are everywhere you look, and the world is only creating more fast food shops around the globe. Fast food is more accessible than other food sources; it is also one of the most popular ways to get dinner. Business workers are ordering in either for lunch or dinner, and this is usually from fast food places with drive-throughs. Fast food companies use chemicals in their food that aren’t exactly healthy for the human to consume on a regular basis. So, why should fast food companies be allowed to hide all the chemicals and ingredients in their foods as well as hide any of the side effects that come with eating that food? The issue is that fast food isn’t healthy. Healthy foods don’t contain many of the chemicals that fast foods do, they don’t affect the body in the same way. Healthy foods come from wholesome ingredients and don’t have preservatives or other pesticides or growth hormones in them. We all know that that’s food ingredients are in exactly healthy, but many of us failed to read the list of ingredients for our favorite menu items. Because of this many of us lack the billet he to understand how bad the first food we consume is. Will you believe that fast food you come with a warning just like any other product you purchased? You want to know exactly what’s going to happen to your body and you have the right to know that information. It should not be hidden from you, and it should not be kept away as some company secret. Every person has the right to understand how that food will affect their body. From then on they can make their choices if they want to eat it or not. If you’ve looked at documentaries such as the McDonald’s documentary and other fast food documentaries you probably noticed that fast food as a long-term effect on a human’s health. Fast food isn’t bad as long as you eat it every once in a while, but many people choose to eat fast food every single day. This is not a healthy way of living and can end up causing you permanent damage to your body because of the chemicals you were introduced into your body every time you eat at fast food meal. There are many of people who don’t want to know what’s in their food. But that’s only a small population. Every person has a right to know how a product will affect them. Just as you see on labels such as pills, medications, and even products such as workout equipment for scans. All of these come with a warning on what could go wrong when you’re using it or consuming it. So why should fast food be any different? Just because a small population of people doesn’t want to know what’s in their food doesn’t mean that the rest of the population shouldn’t at least have a warning sticker. As you can see, everyone has the right to know what chemicals and products go onto their food. I don’t know me that, but they also deserve to know by consuming the fast food what kind of effects they should expect on their body. Many people think that fast food will only affect their calorie intake for the day, this is not true. Fast food can affect a person’s Brain, psyche, and body. This is why we believe the fast foods should come with a warning.
Trump's Tariff War Threatens to Erode Support of Farmers CHICAGO — President Donald Trump's tariff battle with key buyers of U.S. apples, soybeans and corn threatens the support of some of his biggest backers - U.S. farmers now seeing their livelihoods in jeopardy. Farmers overwhelmingly supported Trump in the 2016 election, welcoming how he championed rural economies and vowed to repeal estate taxes that often hit family farms hard. Now those same farmers are seeing crop prices fall and export markets shrink after Trump's tariffs triggered a wave of retaliation from buyers of U.S. apples, cheese, potatoes, bourbon and soybeans.
Războiul tarifar al Trumpului amenință să sprijine agricultorii de erodarea.
CHICAGO Lupta tarifară a președintelui Donald Trump cu cumpărătorii cheie ai merelor din SUA, a soiei și a porumbului amenință sprijinul unora dintre cei mai mari susținători ai săi - agricultorii din S.U.A. își văd acum viața în pericol. Fermierii au sprijinit în mod covârșitor Trump în alegerile din 2016, salutând cum a susținut economiile rurale și a promis să abroge impozitele pe proprietăți care lovesc adesea fermele familiale.
Acum, aceiași agricultori observă că prețurile culturilor se diminuează, iar piețele de export se micșorează după ce tarifele Trump au declanșat un val de represalii din partea cumpărătorilor de mere, brânzeturi, cartofi, bourbon și soia.
