Former Chief of Staff in the U.S. House of Representatives and founder of the Ukraine Freedom Project Steven Moore:
"I've lived here [in Ukraine] since day five of the war. So when there's an air raid, I experience it just like any Ukrainian. I have come to see them as Putin's symphonies. They always have too much percussion and not enough strings, because he only needs one string — the one around his neck.

This is the opinion of someone who understands the situation well and how the war in Ukraine is likely to develop - Mariia Berlinska, the head of the Aerial Reconnaissance Support Center.
Russia will intensify its aerial terror. We need to prepare for this, and we have almost no time.
The Russians will definitely increase the warhead weight of the Shahed drones. It will be increased to several hundred kilograms in order to terrorize cities

Head of John the Baptist, anonymous, c. 1500 - c. 1560
At the request of his stepdaughter Salome, Herod ordered the beheading of John the Baptist. She was given his head on a platter. This macabre theme – often called Johannes in disco (John on a plate) – is represented here. The platter, however, is missing. The deathly pale alabaster, the open mouth and tongue and the deep-set eye sockets reinforce the harsh realism.

Agencies plan to decommission hundreds of .gov websites following GSA review
While this governmentwide review will cut only a small fraction of .gov websites, some agencies are making more drastic cuts to their online presence than others.
The Small Business Administration, for example, is planning to eliminate more than half of its total websites. SBA is shuttering websites for defunct pandemic aid programs, and is consolidating some small-business certification websites into MySBA Certifications, a one-stop shop for federal contracting certifications.
The Department of Health and Human Services plans to eliminate more than 7% of its websites. Among them, HHS plans to eliminate vaccines.cdc.gov, a website that tracks the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s state-by-state investments “in achieving national immunization goals and sustaining high-vaccination coverage rates to prevent death and disability” from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Documents obtained by Federal News Network state that vaccines.cdc.gov “is no longer maintained.” HHS also plans to cut 18 webpages that are part of cancer.gov, but the main site would remain.
