Ancient city of Ephesus to reunite with Aegean after 2,500 yearshttps://t.co/44xcdcrktX — DAILY SABAH (@DailySabah) December 25, 2021 The Turkish authorities decided to return the historical traditional appearance of the ancient ancient city of Ephesus, located in the modern province of Izmir. About 2500 years ago it was a port city, but due to landslides, earthquakes and shallowing of the harbor, it is now 9-10 kilometers from the water. A new two-stage landscape reconstruction project will help connect Ephesus with the sea after more than two millennia. According to the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Bekir Pakdemirli, the first stage of the project includes the reconstruction of the harbor, the construction of a new canal, as well as the creation of a system of piers and breakwaters.

Schwarzenegger became a bachelor after ten years of divorce proceedings
The final decision of the judge was preceded by ten and a half years of divorce proceedings. Such a long period was explained by the fact that the spouses “lacked motivation”, as well as the settlement of disputes about the division of property. At the same time, on December 27, Shriver stated that she did not rule out the possibility of preserving the marriage. Arnold Schwarzenegger married TV journalist Maria Shriver, who was the niece of US President John F. Kennedy, in 1986. They had four children in their marriage. Shriver filed for divorce in July 2011, although by that time she and her husband had not lived together for several months. The reason for the breakdown of family relations, as it turned out later, was the actor’s having an affair on the side and an illegitimate child. Even more interesting things about people
Russians are not as afraid of coronavirus as protection from it
The main source of anxiety in 2021 is expected to be the coronavirus pandemic and everything related to it: from the appearance of new strains to uncertainty with vacation, the authors of the study state. But if in 2020 Russians were primarily concerned about the risk of infection with the “crown”, then in the outgoing year, the fear of introducing a QR-code system for admission to public places unconditionally came out on top. This phobia occupies a leading position in 70 regions at once, and in another 12 subjects it is in the top 3 fears. And only in the most “imperturbable” republics — Dagestan and Ingushetia, as well as in Chukotka, “QR panic” gives way to other worries. This is followed by vaccination against COVID-19, which is one of the top three fears in 68 regions, and the fear of the virus itself (46 subjects). The conditional rating is
Valery Zorkin allowed the revival of the death penalty in Russia
In the book Constitutional Justice: Procedure and Meaning, Valery Zorkin returns to the doctrine of national identity and discusses the role of constitutional control, which is designed to “humble the destructive effect of political prominences and protect society.” He recalls that the socio-cultural situation in Russia differs significantly from the situation in the old democracies of Europe — and these differences must be taken into account. At the same time, the Constitutional Court, as Mr. Zorkin notes, demonstrated a willingness to overcome, if necessary, stereotypes of mass consciousness — as was the case, for example, with the abolition of the death penalty. The Chairman of the Court recalls that in Russia has had an indefinite moratorium on the use of the death penalty since 1996, which was introduced by virtue of the commitments made when the country joined the The Council of Europe. This moratorium was confirmed in 1999 and 2009 by the

253 years ago , Catherine II introduced Russia paper money On December 29, 1768, the Supreme Manifesto was issued signed by Catherine II, on the basis of which in For the first time, the Russian Empire introduced paper money, called banknotes by the Empress. The first banknotes were printed in four denominations – 25, 50, 75 and 100 rubles, and were exchanged for copper coins. For one 100-ruble banknote, 100 kilograms of copper five-kopeck coins were given. The need for monetary reform was explained by the acute shortage of silver and the weight of old copper coins: it was possible to transport an amount of 500 rubles only by cart.

The city and the economy live a normal life, all industries and transport work, and education, and healthcare, and social assistance, and industrial enterprises.

Rospotrebnadzor told who carries “omicron” the hardest
“The virus spreads very quickly, it has a very high level of contagiousness, it is much more contagious than those strains, the changes that we have seen. But from what we have seen on the territory of the Republic of South Africa, it does not cause a very heavy current there,” Popova said. According to her, the disease is more severe in unvaccinated people who have become infected with omicron. “It affects a large number of people at once, and the severe course is only for those who are not vaccinated — this is absolutely the case for those who have concomitant diseases, those with severe diabetes and severe oncology,” she said. No one in the world has accurate predictions about how the coronavirus will develop further, but only one thing is known for sure: “if we do not vaccinate today and comply with the sanitary measures that we take,

As Ryan Wasson told reporters, in 1987 he jokingly gave his brother Eric a box of chocolates in the Christmas style, because he knew that his brother would definitely not like such a “sugary” gift. Eric didn’t even touch the candy. He waited a year and gave his brother on Christmas is the same box.
