Vidovdan

Today is a national holiday in Serbia and in Serbian culture more broadly...in English it is St. Vitus Day, a traditional feast day in the Serbian Orthodox Church.  It is meant as a memorial to those Serbs who died in the Battle of Kosovo on this day in 1389 defending the country from the invasion of the Ottoman Empire.  The battle was notable for the death of the Serbian Prince Lazar & Ottoman Sultan Murad I.  Though it did end up a Ottoman victory and lead to the subsequent vassalage of Medieval Serbia to the Turks.  Since that time it has been honored as a day of both loss and heroics in Serbian national consciousness.

ETHNIES OF THE WORLD : Balkans ethnies part 1 !

The Greeks are a european people inhabitants of the country of Greece and Cyprus. They speak greek. Greek colonies and communities have been historically established on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea, but the Greek people have always been centered on the Aegean and Ionian seas, where the Greek language has been spoken since the Bronze Age, and there between 14 and 17 millions of them. Throughout history, Greeks have greatly influenced and contributed to culture, visual arts, exploration, theatre, literature, philosophy, politics, architecture, music, mathematics, medicine, science, technology, commerce, cuisine and sports. The Albanians are a european people inhabitants of the country of Albania. They speak albanian. The ethnogenesis of the Albanians and their language is a matter of controversy among historians and ethnologists. They were mentioned for the first time in historical records from the 11th century as a tribe of people living across the mountainous region of the Mat and Drin. The Shkumbin more southerly splits the Albanians into the Ghegs and Tosks nevertheless both groups identify with a shared ethnic culture, history and traditions, and there are 7 to 10 millions of them. They have their own culture and traditions. The Macedonians are a south Slavic european people inhabitants of the country of North Macedonia. They speak macedonian. The formation of the ethnic Macedonians as a separate community has been shaped by population displacement as well as by language shift, both the result of the political developments in the region of Macedonia during the 20th century. Following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, the decisive point in the ethnogenesis of the South Slavic ethnic group was the creation of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia after World War II, a state of the Republic of Yugoslavia. This was followed by the development of a separate Macedonian language and national literature, and the foundation of a distinct Macedonian Orthodox Church and national historiography, and there are around 2,5 millions of them. They have their own culture. The Montenegrins are a south Slavic european people inhabitants of the country Montenegro. They speak montenegrin. Slavs have lived in the area of Montenegro since the 6th and 7th centuries in the medieval state of Duklja. By the 14th century, the mountains behind the Gulf of Kotor were coming to be referred to as "Montenegro" (Montenegrin: Crna Gora; literally translates as “Black Mountain”). Since the end of the 17th century, Montenegro existed as a de facto independent country, and there are around 460 000 montenegrins. They have their own culture, althought only around 45% identify themselves as montenegrins, the rest identifying as Serbs or Bosniaks.  The Serbs or Serbians are a south Slavic european people inhabitants of the country of Serbia. They speak serbian. Early Slavs, invaded and settled the Southeastern Europe in the 6th and 7th centuries. What is today central Serbia was an important geo-strategical province. The history of the early medieval Serbian Principality is recorded in the 10th-century work De Administrando Imperio, which describes the Serbs as a people living in Roman Dalmatia, subordinate to the Byzantine Empire. In the early 1830s Serbia gained autonomy and its borders were recognized. They lost a part of their territory ensuing the independance of the region of Kosovo, and there are around 10 millions of them. They have their own culture and traditions.  Those aesthetics are part of a serie. I’m covering the biggest ethnies of the world, starting by Europe.

Nikola Tesla (Никола Тесла; 1856-1943) was a Serbian inventor, electrical & mechanical engineer, and futurist, best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply. But this only scratches the surface.

He was born an ethnic Serb in the village Smiljan in the Austrian Empire (present day Croatia). His father was an Eastern Orthodox priest. His mother, whose father was also an Orthodox priest, had a talent for making craft tools and mechanical appliances, and the ability to memorize epic poems. She had never received a formal education. Tesla credited his eidetic memory and creative abilities to her. He was the 4th of 5 children with 3 sisters and an older brother, who was killed in a horse riding accident when Tesla was 5.

In 1861, he attended primary school in Smiljan where he studied German, arithmetic, and religion. In 1862, the family moved to Gospić, where his father worked as parish priest. Nikola completed primary school and middle school, then moved far north to Karlovac to attend high school at the Higher Real Gymnasium. The classes were held in German, as it was a school within the Austro-Hungarian Military Frontier.

In 1891, aged 35, Tesla became a citizen of the USA. In the same year, he patented his Tesla coil.

Tesla worked every day from 9am-6pm or later, with dinner from exactly 8:10pm, at Delmonico's and later the Waldorf-Astoria. He would phone his dinner order to the headwaiter, who also could be the only one to serve him. "The meal was required to be ready at 8 o'clock... He dined alone, except on the rare occasions when he would give a dinner to a group to meet his social obligations. He would then resume his work, often until 3:00am.“

For exercise, Tesla walked 13-16 km per day. He curled his toes 100 times for each foot every night, saying that it stimulated his brain cells. He became a vegetarian in his later years, living on only milk, bread, honey, and vegetable juices.
