The UK government has accused Russia's military intelligence service of being behind four high-profile cyber-attacks.

In 1927, Work began by sculptor Gutzon Borglum on the face of Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills National Forest of South Dakota.

In 1582, Oct 4 was the Last day of the Julian Calendar in the Catholic countries of Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. By the order of Pope Gregory XIII (13), the calendar was put in place to realign events like equinoxes and solstices, ensuring that Easter is always celebrated around the Northern Hemisphere's spring equinox. Because of the new calendar, several days were skipped, and October 4 was followed by October 15. Today, the Gregorian calendar is the most used calendar around the world
