A great man is one who collects knowledge the way a bee collects honey and uses it to help people overcome the difficulties they endure - hunger, ignorance and disease!
- Nikola Tesla

Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.
- Franklin Roosevelt

While their territory has been devastated and their homes despoiled, the spirit of the Serbian people has not been broken.
- Woodrow Wilson

U nekoliko najvećih američkih klinika, laboratorijski se radi dešifrovanje kompletnog genoma, tako da se može saznati od kojih bolesti bi osoba mogla u budućnosti da boluje, a jednu takvu laboratoriju vodi i prof.dr Mira Bjelotomić Irons, poreklom iz Srbije.

Ona je načelnica Odeljenja za genetiku u Bostonskoj dečjoj bolnici, gde se radi prenatalna dijagnostika, odnosno uz pomoć testova ženama još u trudnoći otkriva od kojih bolesti bi dete u budućnosti moglo da boluje.

Драма „Реалисти", Јелене Кајго, премијерно је изведена 11. маја на сцени америчког позоришта „Хир арт", у режији Ијана Моргана

– Утисци које носим са премијере „Реалиста" у Њујорку су сјајни. Редитељ Ијан Морган је изузетно суптилно и прецизно поставио комад са свим финесама и детаљима, а глумачка подела је одлична. Иако сам изузетно задовољна представом, изненадиле су ме бурне и лепе реакције публике, али и добре критике. Јер у уметности никада нисте сигури да ли сте потпуно објективни. Њујоршка публика се толико поистоветила са ликовима комада или их је препознала као део свог окружења да се сваки пут пренула када је са сцене зачула српско име, јер је имала утисак да се радња комада дешава на Менхетну. То је пример позитивне стране глобализације: да сви осећамо да смо део шире целине, али је потребно и да стално будемо свесни које су њене добре, а које лоше стране...

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) – Western Michigan University becomes a "medieval Mecca" one weekend every year, and that weekend just began.

The 48th International Congress on Medieval Studies kicked off Thursday on WMU's campus.

At this mostly academic event, it's more common to find experts debating medieval topics than people parading around in costume or jousting.

HOUSE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFAIRS - Chairman Ed Royce

Subcommittee Hearing: Kosovo and Serbia: A Pathway to Peace

.

Невелика редакција од 13 новинара прославила је у четвртак по подне, са важним гостима, велики јубилеј: 70 година откако се 26. марта 1943, на радио апаратима, уз повремено крчање, први пут чуло „Овде Вашингтон, Глас Америке”.

Тако је започео програм намењен Југославији, на врхунцу Другог светског рата, када је радио био главни извор вести са широког светског фронта и глас наде да ће снаге добра победити силе мрака. А кад је победа извојевана, Глас Америке је добродошао иза „гвоздене завесе”.

Emmanuel

The Only Begotten and Firstborn among Many Brethren

by Bishop Athanasius Yevtich

In Emmanuel, the second anthology of Bishop Athanasius' articles to appear in English, His Grace explores themes of Orthodox Christology, Soteriology, Ecclesiology, and Gnoseology. How can we know Who God is? How can we know who we are, as human persons created in His image and likeness? How can we become one with Him? Bishop Athanasius examines these and other foundational questions in depth in this volume, drawing from a wealth of Scriptural and patristic sources. In discussing diverse theological subjects, he always returns to his overarching theme: the communion that man can have with God through Jesus Christ the God-man, within Christ's Church and above all in the Holy Eucharist. His exquisite and unique way of engaging the reader in mutual dialogue, with the living Eucharistic experience permeating his every thought, instills in the reader a burning desire for that communion.
