Saint Ignatius, a disciple of John the Theologian, is also known as Ignatius of Antioch.

He was called the God-bearer because Jesus Christ held him in his arms when he was a child.

He was the third patriarch of the Church of Antioch, he introduced the antiphonal way of chanting in the church.

He refused to admit idolatry, which is why he was thrown to the lions in Rome in 106.

The beasts tore him apart, but his heart remained intact. They say that even today he calls everyone who calls on him for help in trouble.

In our nation, hard work is not done today, especially for women. In some places, this day, which abounds in ritual acts, is also called Chicken Day or Chicken Christmas.

It is also celebrated as a baptismal feast.

An extensive document of several hundred pages that describes in detail where the money from the budget goes, is summarized in the Citizens ‘Guide – a short presentation of the state on the most important items to make it completely clear to citizens how taxpayers’ money is spent.

State Secretary in the Ministry of Finance Sasa Stevanovic says that the Ministry wants to improve the transparency of the budget, ie to make it accessible to everyone, so that everyone can understand it.

“On the one hand, it is the citizens who fill the budget with their donations, ie give money to the state so that the state can finance those expenses, and we feel that it is our obligation to reach every citizen and know what is really there. in the budget “, says Stevanović.

Local self-governments are conducting a similar practice, so the Municipality of Kovin has already published its guide through the budget.

The head of the Department for Budget and Finance of the Municipality of Kovin, Biljana Stojković, says that the involvement of citizens is one of the most important things in the budget itself.

According to her, the budget is made for the sake of the citizens, for the sake of satisfying their needs and explaining how the local self-government does it.

“The law requires us to make that budget in a certain way, and that is often incomprehensible. It is often incomprehensible for those who are in the budget process, and not for people who, as citizens, need to be informed about some basic things implemented by their local government. and to eventually find what interests them and, in the last resort, to engage, to see some of their rights in which way they can exercise and how much is set aside for certain things “, says Stojković.

The Citizens’ Budget Guide is compared in the Government with the plans of one household that has a clear financial plan.

“We have simplified it for next year, so they know exactly that the doctors they go to will have a higher salary by some 8 percent, also that our oldest fellow citizens will have a pension increase of 15.5 percent and another 20,000 dinars, say in February, then we You know that we are currently building ten highways, it directly affects the quality of life of our citizens, then we have stated the amounts, ie what we will invest in when it comes to education, “says Stevanovic.

And in order for the Civic Guide to reach those who do not have the Internet through the budget, a printed version of that document has been provided, which the ministry will share at the events it organizes.

Public financial management is part of the overall public administration reform being implemented in Serbia with the continued support of the European Union.

Open Heart Street has been a manifestation for more than half a century, and the people of Belgrade have longed for it, since it was not there last year.

The mayor of Belgrade, Zoran Radojicic, says for RTS that on New Year’s Eve it was cheerful, peaceful, without incidents, with respect for the measures, as expected.

“Our services also worked last night. About 1,500 people from the communal services are constantly on the street and the city is functioning primarily because of their work,” said Radojicic.

According to him, the fireworks in Belgrade showed on the one hand that Serbia is developing as a modern country, and that the City of Belgrade preserves traditions, such as Open Heart Street, and on the other hand takes care to be a modern, contemporary city.

“Through fireworks and that spectacle, we sent a picture to the whole world,” said Radojicic.

Today, the first two babies were born – a girl in Visegradska, and a boy in the Popular Front.

“We are starting the New Year with that beautiful news, we are looking forward to it and we want to have even more of us, because that is the only way we will have a bright future both as a city and as a country,” Radojicic pointed out.

He emphasizes that the city of Belgrade has a lot of plans for next year.

“Huge budget, 160 billion. All projects that will be done in Belgrade will have a component of environmental protection. There will be other large projects. We will have a line park, ambulance will be upgraded, Ninth Belgrade Gymnasium, Kalenić market, we will do a lot in this years “, notes Radojicic.

Many municipalities in Belgrade will have their own streets with an open heart.

The citizens of Serbia welcomed the New Year on the squares, in catering facilities and in their homes with best wishes.

In the capital, as in many cities, a festive reception was organized on the squares with a music program.

However, there is no relaxation on New Year’s Eve either, and due to the epidemic situation, the controls on compliance with the measures during the holidays have been strengthened.

Numerous tourists have decided to welcome the year 2022 in Serbia. A large number of guests stay in the mountains and spas, but also in Belgrade.

In the capital, the reception was organized at two locations – in front of the House of the National Assembly and on the Sava Promenade.

Other cities across the country also had an organized reception in the squares.

The first, second and third of January are non-working days in Serbia.

In the new, 2022 year residents around the world have also stepped in. The citizens of the Pacific states of Samoa and Kiribati were the first to welcome her, and the last will be welcomed in American Samoa and on the island of Niue.

The oldest supermassive black hole

More than 13 billion years ago, when the universe was only 670 million years old, this black hole was born. With a mass of 1.6 billion suns, a newly discovered supermassive black hole J0313-1806 it is twice as heavy and 20 million years older than the previous record holder for the oldest known black hole.

This ancient supermassive black hole is so large that it has put astronomers in the dilemma of whether supermassive black holes formed first

Lowest measured gravity

According to Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, any object that has mass also produces gravity, even if it is barely noticeable. Scientists have now measured the gravity of a golden ball two millimeters in diameter and weighing about 90 milligrams – the smallest object to which gravitational force has ever been measured.

The tiny ball proved that gravity behaves as expected, even in the case of a very small mass. Researchers, on the other hand, want to examine how gravity behaves on an even lower, quantum scale, where different physical rules can be applied.

The oldest animal to have thumbs

The 160-million-year-old pterosaur, nicknamed “Monkeydactyl”, was the earliest known animal to have thumbs.

The flying reptile, whose fossil remains were found in northeastern China, officially named Kunpengopterus antipolikatus, probably used its thumbs and movable joints to climb through tree canopies to retrieve prey, scientists predict.

A black hole swallowing a star

Scientists have for the first time managed to see how a black hole swallows a neutron star, ie the remains of a dead supergiant star. Astronomers discovered this event by measuring the gravitational waves that came from collisions of two objects that reached the Earth.

All previously identified sources of these waves in space-time consisted of the collision of two similar objects, such as two neutron stars or two black holes.

The oldest animal DNA found

The tooth of a Siberian mammoth that lived more than a million years ago broke the previous record of the oldest animal DNA ever discovered, which was held by a 700,000-year-old fossilized horse.

Scientists assume that this discovery represents the maximum time for which DNA can survive. The genes of this mammoth lead to the conclusion that it belonged to a hitherto unknown species.

The highest percentage

A mysterious group of hominids known as the Denisovs became extinct long ago, but not without a trace. The indigenous tribe of Aita Magbukon in the Philippines have about five percent of the DNA of Denisovans in their DNA, genetic analysis has revealed. That is the highest level of Denisov origin which was found anywhere in the world.

Researchers are using these results to track the movement of Denisovans through Southeast Asia, Papua New Guinea and Australia, along with genetic traces from other groups that carry Denis’s DNA.

The last preparations for the concert are underway in front of the House of the National Assembly. The capital decided on two concerts: one in front of the Assembly, and the other near Belgrade on the water. Successive closing of streets for traffic starts at 5 pm in both zones. The gates for visitors will be open from 7 pm, and the program will last until one after midnight.

The city government informs that 50,000 masks have been prepared for the citizens, and that antigen testing will be possible, as well as that they will install barriers.

How will the restaurants in Belgrade work?

Outdoor concerts do not require kovid passes, and without them, you should not go to bars.

Although it seemed that everyone would work at full speed, having in mind the estimates that Belgrade has about 100,000 guests, RTS has learned that about 40 percent of Belgrade restaurants will not work on New Year’s Eve.

There are many cafes and restaurants throughout Serbia that have decided to do the same.

Belgrade is one of the few cities in Europe where it will be organized reception, said the deputy mayor.

However, some cities in Serbia have decided to direct the money to charity instead of organizing a reception in the squares: for the treatment of sick children and children without parental care, and some to save money by organizing it more modestly and giving it to charity. purposes.

Controls

Over 30 communal militia patrols will be in Belgrade tonight, as well as 60 communal militiamen, Ranko Šekularac from the communal militia told RTS.

According to him, the competent sanitary inspection of the Ministry of Health will be on the ground, as well as the competent city inspections.

“Apart from the more difficult task, when it comes to covid measures, the communal militia will also control illegal transport taxes, as well as control the use of pyrotechnic devices during New Year’s Eve,” Shekularac points out.

He says that they have no basis for open-air controls, but that they will do everything they receive as an instruction from the Crisis Staff during the day and that they agree with the coordination department.

Ranko Šekularac from the communal militia says that he will control kovid certificates in catering facilities on New Year’s Eve. The amount of fines for those who do not have covid certificates: for natural persons 5,000 dinars, for covid stewards 30,000, for legal entities 300,000, for responsible persons in legal entities 50,000 dinars.

Homage to science in art in Novi Sad

Novi Sad will welcome the new year as the European Capital of Culture, which is why 2022 has a special significance and symbolism for this city.

Preparations for the reception in that city have been going on for some time, which will differ in many ways compared to all the previous ones. Doček is moving from the square to the suburbs of the Petrovaradin Fortress, and the Varadin Bridge will play a big role in all this. The reception itself will be a homage to science and art, symbolically framed by the year of the title.

Nemanja Milenković, director of the Foundation “Novi Sad 2022: European Capital of Culture”, says for RTS that they made a light gallery of Nikola Tesla, which passed through that city 130 years ago.

The gallery, which will start on the Varadin Bridge, will present the Serbian National Theater with a play called “Tesla, the Inventor”, he adds.

“Then, through a light procession, we will move with the citizens to the renovated suburbs of the Petrovaradin Fortress, where they will have the opportunity to welcome 2022 through light, visual installations and artists from the region and Europe,” says Milenković.

Noise destruction, band Kanda, Kodza and Nebojsa, Djordje Miljenovic will perform in Novi Sad tonight …

According to TONS, when it comes to tourists who arrived due to the welcome, it is mostly about domestic and tourists from the region.

Organized receptions in hotels, restaurants, cafes and other catering facilities are sold out, and all accommodation capacities are almost full.

Dresses by designer Jelena Dimitrijević were in great demand, and at the military games in Moscow, “Dress of Serbia” with 80 symbols of our country, was a real hit. “This what

I work, work, it’s not my job anymore. I love it and it was really a pleasure to work “, says Dimitrijević.

Writer Dejan Stojiljković received the Andrić Award for the Neon Blues collection, and he was the co-screenwriter for the film “Toma”.

“One of the things that is extremely dear to me is the text I wrote for your portal OKO RTS about my fellow citizen Dragan Stojković Piksi. I think this is one of the best essays.

which I wrote in my life “, says Dejan Stojiljković.

Architect Ivan Redi returned to his native Nis a few years ago from Graz and brought old manners. The people of Nis enjoyed his posts on the social networks “My beautiful for today”.

“It is not difficult to be good, it is not difficult to do good to someone. It is of indescribable importance for all of us to be human to each other,” says Ivan Redi.

Nis is rapidly preparing for tonight’s celebration. Many will enjoy the central square, some in cafes, and most in their homes.

The symptoms of the new corona virus mutation – omicron, which threatens to become dominant in the whole world, are still debated. Almost every day, scientists come to new knowledge, whether it is about who is more susceptible to infection or some unusual signs of infection, such as hoarseness …

Thus, British experts drew attention to five symptoms of infection with this new strain, which can appear 48 hours after infection.

In Great Britain, omicron has become the dominant strain, and their virologists claim that this new mutation is safer than the previous one – delta strain, that it causes a milder clinical picture, and it was discovered that the incubation period is much shorter than in other corona variants.

According to a study conducted by the application “ZOE COVID Study”, only 48 hours after infection, these five signs may appear:

– dry, sore throat,

– a headache,

– fatigue,

– runny nose,

– sneeze.

Other symptoms associated with infection with this strain, such as loss of appetite and nausea, memory problems, and even loss of sense of taste and smell (which is less common) occur somewhat later.

Experts who conducted this research also noticed that those infected with omicron showed signs of a disease very similar to the common cold, that is, they most often described them that way. Although the clinical picture of patients is usually milder, experts warn of the following:

“Although the corona infection with the virus may seem milder, people who have not been vaccinated or have a weak immune system are at risk of severe complications and hospitalization of patients,” they added.

The citizens of the Welsh town of Buckley named the aggressive animal “psycho squirrel” or “Stripe” after one of the most aggressive Gremlins.

The squirrel completely randomly attacked people, be it pensioners, children and pets, throwing themselves at them while they were dumping garbage, she even knew that he was chasing them through the streets.

Some went through bites, bruises and bleeding. Some also had to receive a tetanus vaccine.

People warned their fellow citizens about the wild squirrel through social networks.

One of the residents posted on Facebook: “Warning, vicious squirrel attack. She bit me, attacked my friend … and many other people. He attacked both my and my neighbor’s cats. “They do not dare to leave the house,” the announcement reads.

Some published photos of their wounds.

Forty-eight hours of tyranny of this squirrel finally ended when she was trapped by 65-year-old Corinne Reynolds, who is known in the local community as someone who takes care of animals.

Despite making friends with a wild squirrel, Korin decided to hand her over to the competent service after she bit her arm as well.

“Stripe” had to be put to sleep because the law does not allow gray squirrels to return to the wild if they are caught by the competent services.

Corinne admitted that it was very difficult for her to hand over the animal to the authorities, but that she did not want to put her grandson and other people at risk of attacking and biting them.
