https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salus
Salus (Latin: salus, "safety", "salvation", "welfare") was the Roman goddess of safety and well-being (welfare, health and prosperity) of both the individual and the state. She is sometimes equated with the Greek goddess Hygieia, though their functions differ considerably.
Salus was often shown seated with her legs crossed (a common position for Securitas), leaning her elbow on the arm of her throne. Often, her right hand holds out a patera (shallow dish used in religious ceremonies) to feed a snake which is coiled round an altar. The snake is reared up and dips its head to the patera.
Sometimes her hand is open and empty, making a gesture. Sometimes the snake directs its gaze along with hers. Sometimes there is no altar; the snake is coiled around the arm of her throne instead.
Occasionally, Salus has a tall staff in her left hand with a snake twined around it; sometimes her right hand raises a smaller female figure. Later, Salus is shown standing, feeding her snake. This became the commonest pose: she is standing and grasping the wriggling snake firmly under her arm, directing it to the food she holds out on a dish in her other hand. Rarely, Salus is holding a steering oar in her left hand (indicates her role in guiding the emperor through a healthy life). This really belongs to Fortuna.
semi-formal by the looks of it

The pilot safely ejected from the aircraft and was recovered via U.S. military helicopter. The pilot is in stable condition. There were seven total Sailors injured; three Sailors required MEDEVAC to a medical treatment facility in Manila, Philippines, and four were treated by on-board medical personnel. All three MEDEVACs are assessed as stable. Of the four Sailors treated by on-board medical, three have been released. Additional details and the cause of the inflight mishap is under investigation.

Besides deployments in Operation Desert Strike, Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Southern Watch, and Operation Enduring Freedom, Carl Vinson was involved in a number of notable events. The body of Osama bin Laden was buried at sea in 2011 from the deck of Carl Vinson, and that same year, on Veterans Day, she played host to the first NCAA basketball game on an aircraft carrier, between North Carolina and Michigan State.

World holds breath as Ukraine to fire rocket in terrifying escalation of Russia tensions
A rocket test will reportedly be carried out by Ukraine on January 26. Kiev issued a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) that will keep the test area near the coast by Odessa, a port city in Ukraine, restricted. This also comes after the Department of the People’s Militia (DPM) said Ukrainian security forces deployed a rocket-artillery battalion to Donbas. The DPM, a militia in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic region of Ukraine said the battalion consists of multiple launch rocket systems, dubbed “Hurricane”, to the region.
A representative of the People’s Militia of the DPR told reporters that the militia has been transferring weapons with the Ukrainian army.
They are said to have transferred the 3rd rocket-artillery battalion of the 27th artillery brigade (of the armed forces of Ukraine.), armed with 220-mm Uragan multiple launch rocket systems
Ukraine’s military activity comes as reports of over 100,000 Russian troops stationed at the Russia-Ukraine border have sparked fears of an invasion.
And with reports that Britons have started to be evacuated from Ukraine, it appears that a conflict could break out at any minute.
About half the staff working at the UK embassy in Kiev are expected to leave with their families.
This came after the US decided to evacuate its non-essential embassy staff “as early as this week”.
US President Joe Biden is reportedly considering sending several thousand US troops to help defend Ukraine.
He is also said to be planning for warships and an aircraft to be sent to back up to NATO allies too.
Mr Biden is said to be weighing up options put forward by Pentagon officials to send 1,000 to 5,000 troops to NATO allies in Eastern Europe.
That figure is said to potentially increase 10-fold if the situation deteriorates.
Moscow has now expressed concern about the transfer of military equipment from NATO countries to the Russian borders.
But the US has said Russia appears to be making preparations to deploy 100 battalion tactical groups.
It suspects an estimated 175,000 military personnel will be deployed from strategic locations along the Ukrainian border, backed by 100,000 reservist troops.
Mr Biden has previously warned Moscow that “if any, any assembled Russian units move across the Ukrainian border, that is an invasion” which would be met with “severe economic response”.
This also comes after the UK accused Russia of plans to install a pro-Russian leader in Ukraine.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss publicly named released Yevhen Murayev, a former Ukrainian MP, as the Kremlin’s preferred candidate to take over the country following an invasion.
She also warned Russia of stark consequences if it invades.
She urged Mr Putin in a statement to “desist and step back” from Ukraine before he makes a “massive strategic mistake”.
She said: “The Kremlin knows a military incursion would be a massive strategic mistake & the UK and our partners would impose a severe cost on Russia.”
This tension comes eight years after Russia annexed Crimea.
It sparked fighting in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, and separatist troops are still battling today in a conflict that has claimed over 14,000 lives.
This also comes after the UK accused Russia of plans to install a pro-Russian leader in Ukraine.
>So cool, truckers could actually take down entire countries!
>Where should we really be looking?
At your water consumption; dehydration is no joke.
Your pee should be between colorless and the color of light straw and honey.
