The biography of Radomir Dimić against the war has been titled the book "A Kosovar like Rodomiri" it was hard to find a Kosovo citizen of that nationality who would blush even a little for the crimes against Albanians committed by the Serbian regime led by Slobodan Milosevic But Radomir Dimiqi was completely different in his own name he apologized for the deeds of his compatriots and even called on the leaders of Serbia to act differently Radomir Dimiqi spoke and speaks like a human being he says he would be born in the same place again "Tadić and Kostunica must apologize to the Albanians" is the title of an article in "Koha Ditore" a little more than two weeks before Kosovo's independence was declared also through his authorial texts in "Koha Ditore" and other newspapers demanded a different approach from the Serbian government the people of Serbia and even from the Serbs living in Kosovo His texts are compiled in the book "A Kosovar like Radomiri" promoted on Wednesday evening at the National Library of Kosovo "My goal is to accurately determine the crimes that Serbian forces have committed in Kosovo to denounce the threatening atmosphere that still prevails the burial of Albanians killed in rivers and lakes," Dimiqi writes in a text written especially for the book He has never left Kosovo and is considered a "traitor" to the Serbian government because of his stances But Dimiqi does not give up denouncing crimes and In promoting the book edited by Imer Mushkolaj which is a publication of the "Integra" organization and supported by the Ministry of Culture and the "Rockefeller Brothers Fund" said that Radomir Dimiqi was a distinguished name in politics and journalism but also a man who dared to challenge the narratives of the time to raise his voice when many were silent and to see Kosovo with open eyes and heart Dimiqi understood that the truth is often not easy to reconcile with but without it there can be no true reconciliation "He understood that the future of a society cannot be built on denial but on embracing the truth and building bridges between communities He rejected Belgrade's approach that Serbs in Kosovo were foreigners just as he opposed any attempt to treat Kosovo as divided and fragmented He believed that Serbs were part of this country Turkish and other minorities," said Prime Minister Kurti Dimić's writings are evidence of a man who never surrendered He said that he never denied the painful reality "He knew that reconciliation cannot happen without justice and that justice is not revenge Radomir believed that true justice is not revenge He did not see reconciliation as surrender but as a path towards a fairer and more united society" He added that this book should be read not only as a document about the past but also as a guide not only for the future "The courage to tell the truth is not common But the courage to listen to it seriously is also rare let us work and contribute to our common Kosovo But my impression of Radomir is that he challenges because he is brave," Kurti said Regarding the book that summarizes the author's writings in the period 2005 - 2025 the Ambassador of Kosovo to the Kingdom of Belgium said that it is of great importance for two reasons because it is a book of testimony that brings before us the words written by a Kosovo Serb journalist and activist who is an open consistent critic of the anti-Kosovar and anti-Albanian policies of Serbia's political and intellectual elites for decades," said Bajrami who before being appointed ambassador was the editor-in-chief of "Koha Ditore" Dimiqi not only exposes this ideological and political reality of Serbia "The other reason why I think this publication is the most important is because Mr Dimić's writings are used as an instrument to achieve at least two goals: the first is to highlight the racist poison that boils in the skin of the political elite of the Serbian state and its leaders towards Albanians and the state of Kosovo Dimić's writings are an antidote to this poison The second goal is that he sheds light on the darkness where those who are held hostage by Serbia's official policy in Kosovo The author Radomir Dimić himself has said that the book is his biography against the war freedom and the rejection of anyone's lies "This is truly my civic obligation to Kosovo a banner of truth that I spread at a time of incredible suffering in the 90s during the criminal regime of dictator Slobodan Milosevic He indicated that it was about his reaction to the horrific Serbian crimes committed in Kosovo as well as to the largest exodus of Europeans that of Kosovo Albanians in the XNUMXth century "It is my internal reaction to the Kosovo apocalypse the hidden mass graves and other nonsense that happened during the war because otherwise Kosovo would not forgive us," said Dimiqi He asked what kind of man he would be if he remained silent and said nothing about the stupidity of Gazimestan and the greater trance of Serbian nationalism from which the persecution segregation and revenge of Albanians and their elite began He said that Serbian nationalists and the government in Belgrade must get off the back of the Kosovo Serbs who are using them as a Trojan horse for their own interests and power even today I ask for forgiveness and reconciliation from you," said Dimiqi "The land where my head fell is called Mother."

Radomír Pánek, who spent ten years leading the Tokamak Department at the Institute of Plasma Physics of the CAS and then another decade as the institute’s director has extensive experience in managing international institutions Though he isn’t planning any revolutions during his first term as President he does intend to significantly strengthen the Academy’s ties with the public sector “We need to show that the Academy’s role in our society is vital,” Pánek says Why does the physicist know Forrest Gump by heart and how does he feel about stepping into the unknown Ever since I was a kid I was drawn to technical toys but these were usually cars that I’d immediately take apart to find out how they worked And sometimes I’d even manage to put them back together sometimes I couldn’t… and sometimes I ended up with a few extra parts Ábíčko [officially named ABC – a popular science and technology magazine for youth] and putting together paper models were my thing when you could get your hands on the magazine – not exactly an easy feat back then It was the type of under-the-counter thing you had to know the right people to get – at least in South Moravia Ábíčko published a cut-out model of the Golem tokamak nuclear fusion… There’s an old joke floating around that no matter when you ask a scientist when a fusion power plant will be ready That quip has its roots in the 1960s when plasma physics research was developing rapidly Based on the limited knowledge available at the time people assumed it would be possible to build plants quickly and relatively easily it turned out that nature was putting up quite a fight Every decade since then brought with it a major challenge we’ve had to overcome but we’ve already managed to solve the key ones We’re now very close to the commercial phase but the big questions at the moment are: Where will the first fusion power plant prototype be built Who is going to fund this massive investment it’s less about science and more about political decisions Radomír Pánek’s scientific work focuses primarily on fusion device technology and the development of advanced plasma diagnostics what led you to run for President of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS) My ten-year term as director of the Institute of Plasma Physics of the CAS was coming to an end I had been invited to apply for the position of Director of the European research organization Fusion for Energy in Barcelona I had been planning to run for the Academy Council of the CAS so I could contribute my experience in science management from the past twenty years to the Academy as a whole Then several directors of CAS institutes approached me directly asking if I would consider running for the position of President of the CAS instead But after a few sleepless nights and some hesitation After ten years as director of a research institute She knew it would be pointless once I had made up my mind Will they follow in their mother’s footsteps as teachers it doesn’t look like they’ll be scientists – I might have scared them off a bit Though my daughter is in her third year of high school and has really gotten into chemistry They have a teacher who is clearly passionate about the subject and makes the classes engaging here’s a different kind of question: If you could choose to be any famous superhero I’ve taken my kids to go see a few Marvel movies Same with Harry Potter – I can take it or leave it but my kids could binge-watch it all day long One of my all-time favorite movies is Forrest Gump If I’m ever on a work trip and I come across it on TV at the hotel I’ll watch it in whatever language they’re showing it in – even Chinese I travel so much for work that I’m not really a fan of typical family vacations abroad – which isn’t exactly something my family wants to hear I used to do quite a lot of sports when I was younger I was into judo and traditional strength sports it’s just recreational skiing and the occasional bike ride for me Sushi or fried cheese?My family and I will occasionally go out for sushi, but I won’t turn down classic Czech fried cheese either. My favorites, though, are Italian cuisine – and svíčková Mozart or Metallica?I’m not particularly picky when it comes to music but I’ll also put on Metallica now and then The art of compromise will surely come in handy in your new role Were you nervous before the election at the Academy Assembly there was an unusually high number of candidates When you put yourself out there in this way You won with a fairly narrow majority but secured victory in the first round It’s very important that the Academy was able to agree on a single candidate in the first round What will change under Radomír Pánek’s leadership The Czech Academy of Sciences is a complex system and big revolutions rarely bring much benefit the CAS President’s powers aren’t so extensive that they could single-handedly implement a revolution I do think some things need to change – such as updating the law governing the Academy which is over thirty years old and doesn’t reflect today’s environment We also want to focus on employee renumeration and significantly support knowledge and technology transfer I recently met with the leadership of the Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic and it was clear that our collaboration is off to a great start Policymakers are very interested in technology transfer – already on the day I was appointed the President of the Czech Republic asked me how we cooperate with industry and how we can strengthen this area to benefit the Czech economy You also emphasized fostering relations with the political sphere in your election program I want the leadership of the Academy to be much more active in engaging with politicians I’d like the Academy to become a key partner for public administration – to be a source of impartial scientifically grounded information for the Czech Parliament and other state representatives in their decision-making I would be very pleased if it once again became customary for the CAS President to be a regular guest at parliamentary sessions That would also highlight the Academy’s importance within the system – something that We need to show that our role in society is vital Radomír Pánek replaced Eva Zažímalová as President of the Czech Academy of Sciences the plan is to provide the Czech government we need to ensure that these expert opinions reach the right people They shouldn’t get stuck somewhere at the level of clerks and civil servants at the ministries – they need to be seen by the actual decision-makers tight-knit cooperation between the Academy While we do have formal memoranda of agreement in place Expert opinions don’t have to be directed at politicians only The information can also be communicated to the public – who can then put pressure on their political representatives to promote evidence-based policy the Academy has made considerable progress in science communication in recent years What we should focus on more actively is building the Academy’s brand as a whole rather than just our individual research institutes That is something I’d like to discuss with the Academy Council The negotiating power of fifty-four separate entities will never match that of a single That’s also something you emphasized in your program Communication between the leadership of the Academy and the directors of its institutes has improved significantly over the past four to six years but we still need to intensify it – and perhaps even make it less formal much more complicated because we currently lack a functional platform for it You will be the first President of the post-1989 Czech Academy of Sciences who was not previously a member of the Academy Council That could be both an advantage – you’re not bound by past practices – and a disadvantage when the Academy Assembly elected me as the presidential candidate I’ve been attending meetings of the Academy Council and its presidium to get an idea of its current operations I don’t want to be completely influenced by that alone I have experience managing large international organizations in Europe and I’d like to bring some of that experience to the workings of the Academy Council and the Head Office of the Academy What can the Academy actually do for its personnel It is an umbrella institution of over fifty independent research institutes – it seems like the only real option is to funnel more funding their way There is no doubt that we need to work on increasing funding for the Czech Academy of Sciences I also want to take a closer look at wage policies The current system gives the CAS institute directors a lot of flexibility it leads to significant disparities in salaries between various institutes and fields of science Radomír Pánek also wants to focus on securing stable funding for the CAS institutes what would you like for your upcoming fiftieth birthday I guess a trip around the world is out of the question… I’d be happy if my tenure at the Academy proves to be positive and beneficial But that’s not something you can get as a birthday present – that’ll only become clear much later on I haven’t had time to think about my fiftieth birthday at all And what about the possibility of someone from the Academy winning a Nobel Prize during your presidency I firmly believe we do have suitable candidates but politics plays a huge role in Nobel Prize decisions – not just at the level of research institutions it would be a clear indicator of Czech scientific success I assume that for the scientific community a more relevant measure of success is the number of ERC grants secured we first need to increase the number of applications I want to discuss this with CAS institute directors how we can provide more support in this area I think one of the main issues is that we’re not proactive enough it’s much easier to apply for funding from the Czech Science Foundation or the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic We tend to be conservative and more cautious about taking bigger leaps into the unknown But taking that leap is something I personally have no trouble with Radomír Pánek was elected President of the Czech Academy of Sciences in December 2024 at the 64th Academy Assembly That’s evident – and you will be the youngest President of the Academy since 1962 I have the energy and stamina to dedicate myself fully to the Academy And I believe I have the courage to implement meaningful changes this seems to be becoming a broader trend – if you look at Czech university rectors I’ve found a specific rhythm to this that I’ve been following for more than ten years but I usually stay in Prague during the workweek That allows me to dedicate myself to work from early morning until late at night The downside is that my wife has to take care of most other – household and childcare – responsibilities in the meantime Living outside of Prague also allows you to pursue your big hobby – gardening working in the garden is how I truly relax and clear my head Rather than going to the gym or pedaling on a stationary bike even though I don’t always eat their fruit Sometimes I feel like a fisherman who loves to fish but doesn’t eat the fish It simply makes me happy to watch plants grow Radomír Pánek studied at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University in Prague and has been working at the Czech Academy of Sciences since 2000 His research field is plasma physics and thermonuclear fusion he served as Director of the Institute of Plasma Physics of the CAS Pánek is a member of the scientific councils of several universities and has held top management positions at the European research agency Fusion for Energy in Barcelona and the European scientific consortium EUROfusion He has experience in negotiating with partners from Czech and international industries alike CAO of the CASTranslated by: Tereza Novická  The text and photos are released for use under the Creative Commons license The primary mission of the CAS is to

district office in Radomir at a joint briefing The man made a full confession to the investigators and expressed regret for what happened The crime was committed shortly before midnight following a dispute over a domestic remark This provoked aggression in the victim's 56-year-old partner and he hit her repeatedly with a glass bottle and then with a wooden board The murder was committed in the context of domestic violence there have been no reports of violence by the man and his relatives describe him as a good person with a cheerful disposition More news from Crimes The Police

Rest in peace. pic.twitter.com/C5UulDOZSo « Back The Academy Assembly has elected Radomír Pánek as the nominee for the President of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS) for the 2025–2029 term Radomír Pánek from the Institute of Plasma Physics of the CAS secured the majority vote during the 64th session of the Academy Assembly The Czech government will now review the nomination and the President of the Czech Republic will officially appoint the new President of the CAS In addition to electing the presidential candidate the participants of the Academy Assembly are also addressing topics such as the CAS budget the new “Academy of the Future” support of research excellence program the session is hosting representatives of the Czech government as well as representatives from Czech universities and other notable guests Radomír Pánek could become the next President of the CASThe main item on the agenda of the December session of the Academy Assembly of the CAS was the election of a nominee for the position of President of the CAS for the 2025–2029 term from the Institute of Plasma Physics of the CAS won the nomination defeating Jiří Plešek from the Institute of Thermomechanics of the CAS and David Honys from the Institute of Experimental Botany of the CAS Candidate Pavel Baran from the Institute of Philosophy of the CAS stepped down before the vote took place Radomír Pánek at the 64th Academy Assembly of the Czech Academy of Sciences “It would make sense for me to speak about my experience and qualities that I would apply in the role of President I primarily want to emphasize that since deciding to run I have spoken with many of you and taken away one important impression – we are all united by our shared interest in a strong and confident Czech Academy of Sciences,” Pánek said in his speech before the vote I will do everything possible to move the Czech Academy of Sciences significantly forward,” he added after winning the nomination The Czech government will now review the elected nominee for the position of CAS President and the President of the Czech Republic will appoint the nominee will hand over her role to her successor on 24 March 2025 which coordinates thermonuclear fusion research in Europe and he is a member of the Scientific and Technical Committee of the European Commission’s EURATOM he held two terms as Vice-Chair of the Governing Board of the European agency Fusion for Energy (F4E) in Barcelona he represented the EU on the Science and Technology Advisory Committee of the ITER project the world’s largest international research initiative Pánek also lectures at Charles University and the Czech Technical University in Prague (ČVUT) Pánek’s key visions include supporting the achievement of excellence in research as well as the teams that are the basis for achieving such results His goals include increasing the research budget and ensuring competitive salaries He also seeks to strengthen public and political trust in science Additional priorities in his program include supporting the next generation of scientists and ensuring conditions that allow researchers to maintain a work–life balance Pánek plans to focus on research ethics and equal opportunities as well His aim is to establish equitable partnerships with universities and increase the representation of the Czech Academy of Sciences in European advisory bodies and international organizations Another priority is streamlining technology transfer processes to eliminate unnecessary red tape Budget – stagnation despite growthThe Academy Assembly also discussed the Report on the Economic Situation of the Czech Academy of Sciences and a new program supporting excellence in research called The Academy of the Future specific support for scientists returning to work after parental leave The Czech government has submitted a proposal to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic to increase the Academy’s budget the CAS will receive approximately 300 million CZK more next year amounting to nearly 8 billion CZK from the state budget and Innovation Marek Ženíšek successfully negotiated an increase in the overall budget for science and research by roughly 3 billion CZK for 2025 “According to the Czech Statistical Office and the Ministry of Finance and innovation relative to gross domestic product will drop by more than 20% next year the share of state budget expenditures relative to GDP was 0.65% this means that the additional three billion CZK allocated to the science budget have merely halted further declines in these expenditures “Our shared ambition should therefore be to significantly increase this proportion to bring us closer to scientifically and technologically advanced countries,” the President of the CAS emphasized The new law sparks both hope and concernThe President of the CAS also addressed the draft of the new law on research She pointed out that the legislative team of the Minister for Science and Innovation incorporated some of the Academy’s suggestions the concept of a unified information system for research and innovation was scratched; it has now been carried over from the bill to a government regulation with more realistic parameters An explanatory memorandum now explicitly specifies systemic support for the Academy’s operational costs meaning the Academy no longer needs to conduct international collaborations solely with the approval of the Czech Ministry of Education not all of the Academy’s suggestions were reflected in the draft Concerns remain regarding sections that could undermine scientific autonomy and increase red tape This includes provisions related to the concept of funding providers (koncepce poskytovatele) – such as the Czech Academy of Sciences – that require approval from the Czech government this mechanism could represent a significant tool for governmental influence It allows the government to interfere with the structure of research funding providers which could be problematic if the autonomy of scientific institutions and academic freedom are not respected,” Zažímalová emphasized Further concerns are directed at the legal provisions requiring funding providers in their decisions to grant institutional support to specify conditions for the research focus that the recipients must meet Any restrictive conditions could severely limit the necessary dynamism of research we will ultimately ensure that the law effectively supports science and innovation in our country,” the President of the CAS concluded First Vice-President of the Czech Senate Jiří Drahoš shared a similar view “I hope the law will be finalized in a way that supports the development of science while simultaneously reducing bureaucracy which was in fact one of its declared objectives,” he noted adding that there are no rational grounds for increasing oversight of scientific activities Academy of the FutureMartin Bilej from the Academy Council of the CAS introduced a new program aimed at supporting CAS institutes called Academy of the Future The program includes specific support for researchers returning to work after parental leave It is currently pending approval by the Research and further budget negotiations are also underway “The Academy of the Future builds on our current programs supporting excellence in research He added that the program has three priority areas: fellowships returns (including both the return of researchers from parental leave and those returning from abroad) The 64th session of the Academy Assembly was held at the National House Vinohrady in Prague International projects in turbulent timesEva Zažímalová highlighted the opening of the Dioscuri Centers of Scientific Excellence in mid-May 2024 by leaders of the Max Planck Society and the German and Czech ministries of education The program supports talented young scientists under the patronage of the Max Planck Society Two are located at the Institute of Physics of the CAS: one led by spincaloritronics expert Helena Reichlová and the other by nano-optics specialist Barbora Špačková The President of the CAS also mentioned the Researchers at Risk Fellowship program which supports researchers whose scientific work is at risk due to threats of war it allocated approximately CZK 47 million to assist 37 researchers from Ukraine and other parts of the world “The recent events demonstrate that we are living in turbulent times – which not only affect international relations but also science and their continuity,” noted Czech Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Jiří Kozák “Our aim now is to strengthen the presentation of Czech science abroad and the internationalization of universities and other entities.” Kozák also highlighted a memorandum of cooperation between the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs which will enhance the support of science and research in an international context This marked a significant success for the Academy which secured as many ERC Consolidator Grants as the University of Oxford and outperformed institutions like the University of Cambridge Tomáš Jungwirth from the Institute of Physics of the CAS won the Czech Head national award for his extraordinary contributions to spintronics research. His team was successful in directly experimentally demonstrating altermagnetism which opens up new possibilities for advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence Vice President of the CAS Ilona Müllerová accepted the Award of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic on behalf of the Institute of Scientific Instruments of the CAS recognizing the Center for Electron and Photon Optics project Knowledge and tech transfer activities within the PRAK program, managed by the CAS Transfer Center (CETAV) the program supported ten selected projects and this year another 23 have received recommendations The number of spin-off companies associated with CAS institutes is also steadily increasing The growing significance of transfer activities is also evidenced by 17 licensing agreements signed with industrial partners this year A major milestone in this area is the “Concept for the Development of Transfer in Humanities and Social Sciences,” currently under review by the CAS Academy Council Researchers from the Institute of Microbiology of the CAS working with Czech and international colleagues are investigating a specific bacterial strain that may offer a solution As part of the “Talking to Microbes” project supported by the Johannes Amos Comenius Programme (OP JAK) they discovered that administering specific bacteria or their components to malnourished children could help maintain growth continuity Science for the public and state administrationA significant agenda of the Czech Academy of Sciences is its Strategy AV21 At an October conference celebrating  ten years since its founding coordinators of the Strategy AV21 research programs presented results from projects such as Space for Humankind “I am pleased that they have established successful cooperation with many academic and public entities while also engaging in grant and international scientific collaborations,” Zažímalová mentioned “The Czech Academy of Sciences has increasingly positioned itself as an institution that supports interdisciplinary and interinstitutional research on socially relevant topics,” added Jiří Drahoš who was CAS President at the time of the Strategy’s creation The next Academy Assembly session is scheduled for 18 March 2025 when new members of the Academy Council and the Science Council for the 2025–2029 term will be elected Selected documents from the 64th Academy Assembly session, including the report on the economic situation and the proposed 2025 budget, are available (in Czech) on the Czech Academy of Sciences website What is the Academy Assembly?The Academy Assembly is the supreme self-governing body of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS) It consists of representatives of the CAS institutes and other members of academic and public institutions The Academy Assembly is responsible for executive decisions concerning the CAS structure drawing on the CAS press releaseTranslated and prepared by: Tereza Novická  The text and photos are released for use under a Creative Commons licence The Twilight ForestRadomir JakubowskiPlants and Fungi Conveying the essence of a plant or fungus or portraying its importance or role in its environment or its means of survival.

The boy's uncle - Mirko Vuletić (45) was also killed in the tragedy. As the police believe, Martinović killed four people in a relative's house in Bajice - Radovan and Radmila Martinović and their sons, twins Miloš and Marko Martinović. Marko's wife Marija (38) was also seriously wounded in the Martinović house. Among the victims of Ac Martinović are Radivoje Marković (70), Jošo Otašević (55), Branislav Mudreša (60), Dragana Drašković (53) and his sister Zorica Vuletić. Yesterday, shortly after 17.30:XNUMX p.m., Martinović killed four people in the "Velestovo" tavern, close to the Sports Center. After that, he killed four more Martinovics in Bajice, and then killed two children in the Humci settlement, and then continued the crime in Donji Kraji, where he killed his sister and another person. When the police surrounded around midnight, Martinović shot himself in the head and then died on the way to the hospital. MIES - There have been many men whose hard work and dedication to basketball over the years have made it the great sport it is today. Basketball in Serbia and the former Yugoslavia certainly wouldn't have its great successes or be as famous as it is now, had it not been impacted by one of those men, the late Radomir "Rasa" Saper who passed away exactly 20 years ago, on December 6, 1998. A true mover-and-shaker in his homeland of Serbia, Saper took his expertise to FIBA after being elected President of the Technical Commission at the basketball's world governing body in 1972 and served in that role until his death 26 years later. Saper is perhaps best known for his enormous contributions to the improvement of international basketball rules. In fact, since 2001, FIBA awards the Radomir Shaper Prize to an individual who has distinguished himself and made exceptional contributions to the development of the basketball rules. He was widely regarded as an extraordinary and well-rounded person. He held a PhD in Technical Sciences. Having graduated from the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy in Belgrade, he became in 1968 a faculty professor and went on to be named Associate Dean of the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy 12 years later. In basketball, he took his first steps in the sport with the BSK basketball club (later to become OKK Belgrade). Saper was then one of the first players of the newly-formed Red Star and was a teammate there with legendary Yugoslavians Aleksandar Nikolic and Borislav Stankovic, the Secretary General Emeritus of FIBA. In addition to BSK and Red Star, Saper played for a third Belgrade club, Partizan, and also suited up for Yugoslavia. His contributions to the sport were more profound after he stopped playing and became an administrator. After taking on the leading role with the Yugoslavian Basketball Federation's Technical Commission (Competition Commission), Saper in 1965 was elected president of his country's basketball federation. During his tenure, in 1970, Yugoslavia hosted the FIBA Basketball World Cup in Ljubljana and captured the crown, to reach the top step of the podium. The team overcame Italy, Brazil, Czechoslovakia, Uruguay, the United States and the Soviet Union on the way to the title. It was the country's first of five championships in FIBA’s flagship event. A true inspiration to everyone in his country, Saper was posthumously enshrined as a contributor into the FIBA Hall of Fame in 2007. but his job right now is churning out incendiary Facebook memes for a controversial senator wooing the far-right ahead of this month's elections."There's tight competition for the alternative right-wing vote," said Kobryn-Coletti who works for Queensland Senator Fraser Anning frequently posting on his smartphone from his bed waiting for a plane or stuck in traffic."For your political candidate to win and you don't energise the base with corporatised It's what will get the maximum of attention."With at least six far-right groups with limited funding vying for what political analysts believe is one available Senate seat in the largely rural state of Queensland victory in the May 18 election is down to who can get the most eyeballs for the least money.There are 76 Senate seats nationwide but whoever wins a seat as an independent gets outsize influence the ruling Liberal-National coalition and opposition Labor is expected to win the 38 needed for outright control of the upper house.Currently 19 Senate seats are held by independents or minor parties Anning is running for "Fraser Anning's Conservative National Party"."Facebook is definitely the go-to for these groups to easily spread their message to a potentially large audience," said Jordan McSwiney a researcher at University of Sydney's Department of Government and International Relations who specialises in far-right politics."The cost of a coordinated meme campaign on Facebook is dramatically cheaper than other forms of advertising."In a recent Facebook posting Kobryn-Coletti declared "White South Africans are being murdered yet the left remains completely silent" with a photo of a black man holding a sign saying "KILL ALL WHITES."Senator Anning would "ensure our Boer brethren get emergency visas," the post added.After two days A Labor party meme posted the same day on saving overtime pay had just 360 likes and 58 shares.Australian fringe politics is not confined to hardline conservatives but anti-immigration sentiment has surged since two hostages were killed during a 17-hour siege by a "lone wolf" gunman in a Sydney cafe in 2014.Rightwing groups used Facebook to communicate and organise - until March 15 when 50 people at two New Zealand mosques were shot dead Facebook swiftly deleted dozens of anti-immigration pages but not those of politicians.A suspected white supremacist has been charged with 50 counts of murder and will next appear in court in June."Unless there's some sort of violence inherent in the (post) for the most part (social media companies) toe this sort of conservative line 'don't stir up too much trouble by banning an elected official'," said Joshua Roose a political sociologist at Australian Catholic University who advises the federal government on violent extremism.A Facebook spokesman said the company applied its community standards to politicians and other public figures but "at times we will allow content that might otherwise violate our standards if we identify that it is newsworthy or important to the public interest"."We do this only after weighing the public interest value of the content against the risk of real-world harm," he said.Facebook has removed certain posts on Anning's page and even taken down the page itself temporarily according to Kobryn-Coletti.CROWDED FIELDKobryn-Coletti's output has seen his client's Facebook following explode to 130,000 - he got 19 direct votes at the 2016 election and assumed office only when another senator left mid-term - but most analysts believe Anning will lose his seat because of a coordinated effort by rival parties to urge voters to direct ballot preferences away from him.Under Australia's complicated voting system if no candidate gets more than half the primary vote the candidate who comes last is removed from the ballot and voting starts again with voters' next preference counted instead This continues until a candidate gets a majority.Adding to the challenge is running candidates for the Queensland Senate in the hope that two decades of name recognition will neutralise a series of scandals involving undercover footage taken by Al Jazeera of its senior officials on a trip to Washington DC.A recent poll showed One Nation's support falling but its lost votes would probably return to mainstream parties an associate at University of Melbourne's School of Mathematics and Statistics."Greater polarisation between the major parties is drawing more voters back to them," Beaumont said.Kobryn-Coletti who learned his craft by studying the social media activity of U.S President Donald Trump before the 2016 election meanwhile said he would consider working for other parties after the election if he agreed on an issue."I'm working for Fraser," he said "But I've worked for a lot of different people and I'll continue to work for different people."Reporting by Byron Kaye;

Our legend Radomir Antic was posthumously awarded the club's Silver Badge, which was presented to his family on Thursday at a ceremony held at the Wanda Metropolitano. The Serbian coach, who passed away on April 6, 2020 at the age of 71, oversaw 189 Atleti matches, winning the league and the Copa del Rey – the famous Double – in the 1995/96 season. We also paid tribute to the 1,036 club members registered between July 1, 1995 and June 30, 1996, who this week are also being awarded with the Silver Badge in recognition of their 25 years of uninterrupted loyalty. After a long playing career spanning 17 seasons, Antic began his coaching career at Partizan Belgrade in 1985. A decade later, on Sep. 3, 1995, he made his official debut as Atleti coach with a big 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad. It was the first game of the 95/96 LaLiga championship, which we ended up winning in the final match day against Albacete at the Vicente Calderón (2-0). The Atleti side led by Antic was famous for its fast, counter-attacking style. His usual starting XI was: Molina; Geli, Solozábal, Santi, Toni; Vizcaíno, Pantic, Simeone and Caminero; Kiko and Penev. The team was famous for its set pieces, which were taken by With Milinko Pantic, and went unbeaten for 12 games. Our team also won the Copa del Rey title that season, beating FC Barcelona 1-0 in the final thanks to a Pantic goal. Radomir Antic will forever be in our hearts thanks for his successes at our club, but above all, his human qualities.  Get tickets to cheer on Atlético de Madrid Femenino in Alcalá Looking for three more points at the Mendizorroza This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks.

He told the Chronicle: “I’ve always like patterns and numbers and really enjoy solving a nice mathematical problem. “I wanted to teach, I wanted to show how the skills we learn can be applied to the exam questions that we’ll get, but also to develop a kind of love, nurture and passion for maths, which is the more important thing I think.” On top of all of this, he is excelling in French studies and organises poetry readings.
