Upravo zbog toga, prvi Srbi koji su rešili da svoju sreću potraže na američkom tlu, pokušali su da svoju nostalgiju ublaže tako što su dizali pravoslavne crkve u kojima su pored druženja, gledali da održavaju i tradicionalni duh pravoslavlja. Danas, pojedine srpske svetinje broje više od jednog veka, a među njima je i Crkva Sveti Sava u Merilvilu, koja ove godine obeležava čak 105 godina postojanja.
Do ideje podizanja ove crkve došlo je zbog velikog broja Srba koji su naselili području grada Gerija u Indijani gde je crkva i provobitno podignuta, a koji se nalazi tik uz Merilvil (gde će biti premeštena 1991.godine). Pored toga što su dobili mesto gde su mogli da se mole i da prisustvuju tradicionalnim crkvenim službama, okupljanje pri crkvi im je pomoglo da se lakše asimiliraju, te i da se adaptiraju u američko društvo.
Effective Thursday, Webster's president, Elizabeth Stroble, takes the title of chancellor, and Provost Julian Schuster, senior vice president and COO, takes the president's post, according to the email, which was obtained by the Business Journal.
"These changes in title for Webster’s executive team reflect the growing and challenging demands of leading Webster University as a global system," Robert Reeg, chair of Webster U's board of trustees, said in the message.
The chancellor "will lead strategy development and engage external audiences to build Webster’s funding capacity and reputation," he said, and the president "will lead internal operations for optimal implementation of strategy and effective performance."
Парохијани при цркви Светог Саве у Сан Габријелу, најстарије парохије у Јужној Калифорнији, су пре 2 године добили су благослов од надлежног Епископа др Максима Васиљевића, као и сагласност Епархијског савета да буду домаћини значајне историјске светковине.
По добијању овакве части, много пројеката је било потребно завршити, као што су живописање храма, постављање грандиозног полијелеја и уређење порте.... Све је морало бити спремно за овако велики скуп, који је на једном месту окупио све православне народе у Америци.
In 2010, the so-called "2010 Protocol" was launched, defining the criteria that grapevine must meet in order to be planted in their new foundation vineyard Russell Ranch.
He developed the alternating current system, making it possible to transmit electricity over vast distances, and worked on wireless communication and energy transfer. He was a brilliant, but also very eccentric thinker, claiming to get visions and displaying odd behaviour in public like an obsession with personal hygiene and pigeons. Maybe the more enigmatic parts of his personality make him such an interesting subject for conspiracy theories. Tesla is credited to have worked on unknown energy-sources, caused the Tunguska explosion with his "death-ray" prototype, and supposedly worked on an earthquake-generator.
In 1896 Tesla was working on oscillations for wireless energy transfer. The idea was to build a steam-powered oscillator, able to create various changing frequencies. If the frequency matched the resonance frequency of a receiving device, this device should transform the mechanical oscillations back into an electric current.
