Today I see there is a state called FYROM. People there describe themselves as Macedonian. However they are and also claim to be of Slav origin.

We know that ancient Macedonians have never been Slavs. Actually we have never heard of a Slav Macedonian ethnicity before 20th century.

The scholars worldwide believe that the real descendants of the ancient Macedonians are the Greeks. Still, this doesn't answer my question - when did the so called Macedonians in FYROM become Slavs?

I have checked some data and they claim that Slavs came on the Balkans in 6-7 century but for example the Macedonian dynasty that ruled Byzantium between 867-1045 were non-Slavic emperors. So it is evident that this suspicious transformation happened later if at all.

Do you have the answer when and how it took place?

Here's the situation: I am trying to do a research project about the man called Curtis Howe Springer (a.k.a. "Doc" Springer). He is most well known for starting the controversial health spa "Zzyxz" in California. What I need is any information at all about what he did during his time in Pennsylvania.

In college, in Western Civ. we learned a term that was defined as the exection of a world leader. We were learning about the public exection of King Louis (I think, sorry I'm bad at history) at the end of the French Revolution. Does anyone know this term? I'll know it when I see it. Thanks!
