In 1917, three children in Fatima, Portugal claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary. They promised she would perform a miracle on a certain day in October. Nearly 100,000 pilgrims arrived, hoping to see whatever happened, and nearly all report that the sun turned pale, changed color, and spun around. Many other writers have investigated the children and their visions, but I was fixated on this sun miracle. Despite popular discussion of "mass hallucinations", this is AFAICT the only example of tens thousands of people all saying they witnessed the same impossible thing, at the same time. I got kind of obsessed with this; you can read my preliminary investigations in this, this, and this post. One of the first things I found was that there were many other sun miracles - at least ten! - similar to Fatima. Most were associated with Marian apparitions, but one was at a Buddhist temple. Bigfoot only gets sighted by lone hikers; ghosts are only ever in the corner of your eye; UFOs are just blurs in the sky. Of all the countries and outposts in the vast empire of the unexplained, it's only this one phenomenon - the spinning, multicolored sun - that regularly gets seen by thousands of people at once, in broad daylight. Speaking of "regularly", there's one spot where it continues even today. Fifty years ago, the Virgin Mary appeared to six children in Medjugorje, Bosnia. Now those children are well past middle-age, but she continues to come. Three of them report that she's appeared less frequently as the years go by, but the others still see her every day at 6:40 sharp. Travelers to Medjugorje, especially those passing through around 6:40, report a slew of miracles, including the spinning sun. Certainly this is true of those whose hearts are pure. But even the atheists get lucky sometimes. I was shocked never to have heard about this before. There's a place you can just go, and have a decent chance of seeing a real miracle? People take vacations to the Bahamas for the beaches, when they could go instead to Medjugorje and see the natural law of the universe get violated in real time? Seems crazy! So in early April, I and my extremely-accommodating, long-suffering wife flew to Dubrovnik, rented a car, and drove down a series of windy mountain roads toward the Bosnian border, hoping for a miracle. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/waiting-for-the-miracle

Loryn Nalic, chef and co-owner of Balkan Treat Box in St. Louis brought home the Best Chef: Midwest honor at the 2026 James Beard Awards. This recognition marks the first time in nearly a decade that a St. Louis-area chef has won one of the U.S. culinary world's highest honors. Nalic reflects on the achievement, what it's taken to get to this point, the importance of preserving cultural traditions, and balancing creativity and innovation in cooking.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina men's soccer team went further in the FIFA World Cup this year than it ever had before the U.S. knocked them out last week. For many in St. Louis' large Bosnian community, all the hubbub has resulted in a deepened sense of connection that they hope will endure far beyond the end of the soccer tournament.

Tom Ackerman is in the building and The Marc Cox Morning Show gets the full sports rundown on a jam-packed Monday morning. The Blues had a blockbuster NHL draft weekend — trading Kyrou, landing Mason McTavish, adding veteran defenseman Brandon Carlo, and stacking depth with young talent that has the organization buzzing. Tom breaks down why this is no rebuilding year and why Jordan Binnington and Joel Hofer might be the best goalie duo in the entire league. Then the Cardinals — currently holding a wild card spot — head to Atlanta to face a sliding Braves team, and Tom sees a golden opportunity to reignite an offense that's gone quiet at the wrong time. And the World Cup conversation heats up with USA vs. Bosnia on Wednesday at 7 PM — right here in a city with the largest Bosnian community in America. Tom calls this the best U.S. men's national team he's ever seen, and Marc Cox is ready to believe it. Sports, patriotism, and St. Louis pride all collide on The Marc Cox Morning Show. Do not miss a minute.

Today, we’re bringing you the best from newsrooms throughout the Northwest. Bosnia and Herzegovina fans celebrated as their national soccer team made history in Seattle this week. The country made it the furthest they’ve been in the World Cup. Northwest News Network contributor Grace Madigan has more about what it means to the Bosnian community in the Northwest. Tiny, pocket forests are sprouting up all around Washington state. On old, abandoned fields and in people’s backyards. These forests are meant to mimic nature and to grow quickly. It also helps increase biodiversity. NWPB’s Courtney Flatt takes us to one of the Yakama Nation’s mini-forests. American pikas are an ’indicator species.’ If they’re doing OK, there’s a good chance the local ecosystem is doing OK. That’s one reason why the Oregon Zoo and other groups are looking for people this summer to go out and count pikas. OPB’s Kristian Foden-Vencil has the story.

Enes Trumić grew up in Bosnia afraid of the dark, shy, and experiencing panic attacks no one had a name for. That suffering became the doorway. In this conversation he walks me through a spontaneous café moment where he watched his own life play like a movie, a year as a Hare Krishna monk chanting eight hours a day, and the morning it erupted into what he calls a "mental death": infinite, expanding nothingness, followed by a dark night of the soul that played out against the backdrop of the Bosnian war. Enes spent fifteen years with a teacher he loved before walking away from the cult around him to discover: We are animals first Thinking is not the enemy This physical life is the only place awareness can be practiced No one holds the copyright on truth If you enjoy this conversation and want to continue, Enes offers consultations and weekly sessions, plus a free 500-page book on his site.

Engineering Global Socialism: Ownership, Non-Alignment, and Corporate Culture in a Bosnian Company (Indiana UP, 2026) chronicles the journey of the Bosnian global corporation Energoinvest and its workers from its Yugoslav socialist ideals through decades of dissolution, reconstruction, and post-socialist transformation. Author Anna Calori provides a company-centric window into the business history of socialist globalization during periods of national development, destruction, and rebuilding. Contrary to popular perceptions of "centralized" socialist states, Energoinvest actively shaped trade relations with the Global South, driven by a socialist corporate culture that encouraged competition as well as collective decision-making. Even after Yugoslavia's disintegration in 1992 ended its dreams of a socialist path to globalization, these core characteristics shaped Energoinvest's adaptation to capitalist transformations and made it a key player in the struggle for Bosnia's post-war economic reconstruction. Through oral histories and archival research, Calori reveals how Energoinvest's workers paired the promise of a new model of global integration with their own visions of a working world in which they set the rules of engagement—and how, upon its sale to mostly foreign owners, the marginalization and ethnic homogenization of employee shareholders mirrored changes around citizenship in Bosnia. Now, in the twenty-first century, Energoinvest offers new promises of a post-industrial future, but its often hazy parameters leave workers to rely on the memory of "what could have been" to make sense of change. Tracing the long trajectory of a Yugoslav enterprise through decades of large-scale social change, Engineering Global Socialism presents a historical and sociological moment in which workers' ideas about social and corporate enterprise offered the possibility of a more democratic path to globalization. Anna Calori is Lecturer in Contemporary Economic History at the School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Glasgow. Filippo De Chirico is a Ph.D. Candidate in Energy History at Roma Tre University. His research focuses on the history of the Italian natural gas sector. Learn more about your ad choices.

St. Louis Bosnians will paint the city blue, white and yellow in welcoming the Bosnia and Herzegovina national soccer team on Saturday at Energizer Park. It's the team's first appearance in St. Louis since 2014. Ahead of the friendly against Panama, we talk with Elvir Kafedžić, assistant coach for St. Louis City 2 and founder of the St. Louis Dragons youth club, about what this match means for the city's Bosnian diaspora.

Send us Fan MailItaly is one of the most decorated soccer nations on the planet. Iraq hasn't been to the World Cup in 40 years. And Bosnia — a country that didn't even exist 35 years ago — just sent both of them a message the world wasn't ready for.In this episode of the MotivateMe313 Podcast, OZ Media sits down with Kenan Mahmutovic and David Numan to break down what just happened, why it matters FAR beyond the scoreboard, and what it means for every Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim community in America — especially right here in Metro Detroit and Dearborn.This isn't just a sports conversation. This is a pride, identity, and belonging conversation. And the 2026 World Cup is coming to American soil — meaning THIS community could be in those stadiums. THIS EPISODE WE'RE GETTING INTO: Where were you when Bosnia knocked out Italy — and when Iraq's qualification was confirmed? The moment our guests will never forget For people who don't follow soccer — why should EVERY Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim in America care about what just happened? How did Bosnia pull off one of the biggest upsets in World Cup qualifying history against a soccer giant like Italy? Iraq's 40-year drought is GENERATIONAL — there are people in their 30s and 40s who have NEVER seen Iraq at a World Cup. How did they finally get here? The community reaction on the ground in Metro Detroit and Dearborn — what did our people feel when those final whistles blew? For Arab Americans and Bosnian Americans carrying a dual identity every day — what does it mean to see YOUR country's flag on the World Cup stage? How does this moment connect Iraqi Americans and Bosnian Americans — who grew up here in the US — to a homeland they know through stories, food, and family? The 2026 World Cup is RIGHT HERE in the United States — what does it mean that this community can potentially walk into a stadium and watch their team play on American soil? Are Iraq and Bosnia just happy to be there — or do they have a legitimate shot at making noise in the tournament? The ONE thing every Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim fan in America should do before the opening match of the 2026 World Cup To every Arab and Bosnian American watching: For 40 years, people waited. For one generation, this is the FIRST TIME. This episode is for everyone who never stopped believing — and for every kid in Detroit flying two flags wondering if their people will ever get their moment.Their moment is NOW.Drop a  in the comments if this episode hit different — and share it with every Arab, Bosnian, and Muslim soccer fan in your life. Follow OZ Media:  Website: Ozmedia313.com  MotivateMe313 Podcast — new episodes every weekThis show was sponsored by:-The Family Doc-Juice Box -Hanley International Academy-Malek Alkabob-Wing Fellas-Holy Bowly-Bayt Al Mocha-Chill Box-Royal Kabob-GEE Preparatory Academy YouTube post:Follow us on social media:- Instagram: @motivateme313 or @ozmedia313- Website: ozmedia313.com- Facebook: ozmedia313-TikTok: @ozmedia313-Apple Podcast: ozmedia-Spotify Podcast: ozmediaThis show was sponsored by:-The Family Doc https://thefamilydocmi.com/-Juice Box Juiceboxblend.com-Holy Bowly http://www.myholybowly.com-Wingfellas thewingfellas.com-Hanley International Academy https://www.hanleyacademy.com-Malek Al-Kabob malekalkabob.com-Bayt Al Mocha https://baytalmocha.com/-Chill Box https://www.chillboxstore.com/-Royal Kabob https://www.royalkabob.com/-GEE Preparatory Academy https://www.gee-edu.com/schools/geepreparatory/index#MotivateMe313 #OZMedia #WorldCup2026 #IraqWorldCup #BosniaWorldCup #Bosnia #Iraq #ArabAmerican #BosnianAmerican #MuslimCommunity #Detroit313 #MetroDetroit #Soccer #FIFA #WorldCup #ArabSoccer #MuslimSoccer #DualIdentity #CommunityPride #Podcast

Tom Ackerman joins the show in Studio C for a wide-ranging sports conversation that opens with updates on Mizzou running back Ahmad Hardy, who is recovering after being shot during an outdoor Mississippi concert incident described as a “melee,” with discussion centered on his recovery outlook and whether he can return to football.

Christmas Day, 1992. Sarajevo, Bosnia. War is ranging - Serb forces surround the city. For nearly four years, its people have endured daily shelling and sniper attacks, cut off from the rest of the world in the longest siege of a capital city in modern warfare. More than 11,000 people were killed. 1600 of them were children. And in the main hospital, a baby is born: Lejla Damon. Her mother didn’t want anything to do with her - if she held her, she said, she would strangle her. Lejla was born of sexual violence used as a weapon of war. Her birth mother had been raped, repeatedly, by Serb soldiers in a concentration camp. And Lejla was just too closely linked to her attackers for her to bear. Lejla was adopted by a British couple, and grew up in London. She felt alone in her earliest life experiences. But in adulthood, she’s found her Bosnian identity, and become an advocate for the countless other ‘invisible’ children around the world born of sexual violence used as a weapon of war.
