Octavian received the title of Augustus After the murder of the lifelong dictator of Rome Gaius Julius Caesar by supporters of the republican system, power passed to three military leaders – Octavian, Antony and Lepidus. They started a civil war. Having triumphantly ended the long-term war, Gaius Octavian returned to Rome. Remembering the bitter experience of Caesar, he transferred managerial powers to the Senate. The Senate, in turn, proclaimed Octavian Caesar, and he was given the title of Augustus, which means “divine” in Latin. It happened on January 16, 27 BC. The wedding to the kingdom of Ivan IV January 16 , 1547 in The Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin hosted the solemn wedding of the first Russian tsar Ivan IV Vasilyevich, later nicknamed the Terrible. At that time he was 16 years old. On the occasion of the accession to the throne of Ivan IV, the Order of the

Netizens shared a video from Kursk region, in which lightning flashes and thunder rumbles over a snow-covered city. A snow storm was observed in the region on January 14. This is a fairly rare meteorological phenomenon in which snow, freezing rain or ice croup falls instead of rain during a thunderstorm. According to thermodynamics, a snow storm is no different from a normal thunderstorm, meteorologists say, but the upper part of a cumulonimbus cloud is usually quite low, and low temperatures turn drops into snowflakes. Most often this phenomenon is observed in the Great Lakes region in the USA and ​​​​Canada.

The causes of his death are not specified. In 2000, Cerruti was awarded the Order of Merit in Labor. The fashion designer was born on September 25, 1930 in a family of textile industrialists, having inherited the family business at the age of 20. Since 1957, he has achieved worldwide fame by presenting his first Hitman clothing line in Milan. In 1962, together with Osvaldo Testa, he founded the Flying Cross brand. In 1967, Cerruti opened the first boutique Cerruti 1881 on Madeleine Square in Paris. In the mid-sixties, for his company Lanificio Fratelli Cerruti, he hired a newcomer at that time, Giorgio Armani, as a designer. In the seventies, the designer created the first deconstructed jacket. The clothes he created were popular with the stars and more than once flashed at the Academy Awards or the Cannes Film Festival. In addition, he was the official designer of the Ferrari Formula

Tom Jacobs from the USA, who previously served as a naval officer, helped scientists discover a Jupiter-like planet outside the Solar System. A Bellevue resident participates in volunteer online projects that allow everyone – so-called citizen scientists – to view telescope data in search of signs of exoplanets, NASA reports. Volunteers check the graphs of the TESS satellite data, trying to detect changes in the brightness of a particular star. A periodic drop in brightness may indicate that a celestial body passes in front of the star in its orbit. Dubbed TOI-2180 b, the giant gaseous planet is located about 379 light-years from Earth. It orbits a star with about the same mass as the Sun, and is slightly further away from it than Venus is from the Sun. Earlier, astronomers discovered an exoplanet with an unusual orbit. It orbits a red dwarf, and the temperature on it changes dramatically

It turned out that predators attack more often during the full moon, and the exact cause of this phenomenon is not completely clear, according to a paper published in Frontiers in Marine Science. The researchers analyzed data on shark attacks from 1970 to 2016 from around the world and compared them with lunar phases. The results showed that sharks attacked more often if the illumination of the Moon exceeded 50%. During the new moon or the first quarter, sharks attacked less often. And during the full moon, when the illumination of the moon was 100%, the predators were the most active. Great white sharks hunt close to the surface of the water, so lighting is of great

“When people ask me now whether it is necessary and worth diving, I urge maximum caution. Any mass gatherings of people are undesirable now. If they can be avoided, it is better to avoid them,” Metropolitan Hilarion said on the air of the Church and the World program on the Rossiya-24 TV channel, adding that “the virus has not gone away from us.” He called on believers to devote their time to “increase their immunity, vaccinate those who have not done it yet,” and also prepare for a new possible wave of exacerbation of the disease, which experts warn about. Answering the question of whether it is correct to believe that absolution of sins occurs through immersion in the ice hole, the bishop noted that such a statement is incorrect. “There is no absolution of sins through immersion in the baptismal font. Absolution of sins takes place in the sacrament

View this post on Instagram Publication from Research News (@research_news) The first Homo sapiens fossils from East Africa turned out to be about 30 thousand years older than previously thought. The remains, known as Omo I, were found near the Omo River in Ethiopia in 1967. The study of the partially preserved skull and several other bones showed that the ancient hominid possessed the features of a modern man — a high spherical vault of the skull and a characteristic chin. Scientists assumed that it was about 200 thousand years old, but this dating was considered not entirely accurate. Prehistoric bones were found in an area of high volcanic activity, so scientists tried to date volcanic ash in the layers from which the remains were extracted. However, radiometric methods worked inaccurately because the ash was too fine-grained. In a new study, scientists have been trying for about 4 years to date

Proteins with the ability to bind metals may be responsible for the origin of life on Earth. This conclusion was reached by researchers from Rutgers University in the USA. They wondered what properties define life as such, and came to the conclusion that living organisms are able to collect and convert solar, geothermal or other energy. From a molecular point of view, this means that the ability to transfer electrons is crucial for life. Since metals cope best with this task, and most of the biological activity is carried out by proteins, scientists decided to study more closely the proteins that bind metals. Having developed a new computational method, they compared all existing protein structures that bind metals to establish any common features. It turned out that the vast majority of currently existing metal-binding proteins are somewhat similar, regardless of the type of metal with which they are bound. “We

“The disease is now proceeding in a fairly mild form, and mortality has significantly decreased. While earlier, about 2% of those who fell ill died, now it is about 0.1%,” he said. The scientist noted that the virus has changed: to date, young people are becoming more ill with it, whose course of the disease is much easier. “Previously, the old versions of children were practically not touched. Young people endured it without noticing on their feet. Now young and middle-aged people get sick much more compared to the elderly,” Chumakov said. According to him, omicron mainly affects the upper respiratory tract, and also does not progress into pneumonia, as was the case with the original variants of COVID-19. Among the main manifestations of the omicron strain, Chumakov singled out: headache, runny nose, lack of loss of smell, cough and irritation in the nose. “It lasts from one day to

Incidence of COVID-19 in Moscow is growing due to the spread of the omicron strain, Sergei Sobyanin said in an interview with the Rossiya 1 TV channel. “To date, it is safe to say that more than half of the patients are infected with the omicron strain. And this week, the incidence rates per day will already be about six to seven thousand new diseases identified. This is already quite a lot. But I think this is not the limit. The incidence will continue to grow next week, taking into account the picture that we see in other countries and cities,” said the Mayor of Moscow. According to Sergei Sobyanin, it is premature to call the new strain less severe. “We also want it to be like this, but we need to prepare for any scenario. Indeed, we see that the number of cases of moderate and severe course of the
