Pupchek: Eastern Ukrainians don't want to be part of Russia
By William Mandile on April 2, 2014 in Campus News, International
Tensions are mounting on the Ukrainian border as Russian president Vladimir Putin continues to move troops into the area. At Queens, we seem far removed from the problem, but Dr. Leanne Pupchek of the Knight School of Communication has personal insight into the problems in the region, having traveled to Ukraine as a Fulbright Scholar and being married to a Ukranian.

Dr. Leanne Pupchek
She said part of our problem with misunderstanding the situation is the way we tend to think about the world. She noted that Americans tend to see everything like a sports game with two sides broken down by language. However, the history of Russia and Ukraine is complex.
"The fact that people in eastern Ukraine speak Russian does not mean they want to be part of Russia," she said.
She said that most people who attended school in Ukraine before 1992 spoke Russian in school, and that the language people speak does not reflect their political leanings.
She said that a lot of the news that Russian-speaking Ukrainians hear is propaganda and that these messages are covering their television, radio and billboards. The news tells Russian Ukrainians to fear Ukrainian speakers, which adds to cultural tensions.
Pupchek says the situation in Crimea is changing. Between the wars, the Soviets moved the native population out of Crimea and moved them to Kazakstan, but they have been moving back. When Russians moved into the area, the Russian government did not spend any time building infrastructure. Later, she said, when the region was given back to Ukraine, the infrastructure was improved.
"It was a piece of rock when the Russians gave it to Ukraine," she said. "Now that the infrastructure is built up, the Russians are coming to take it back."
Even with this history, Pupchek says the cultural tensions in the region are not what Putin claims they are and Russian-speaking Ukrainians do not all want to become part of Russia. She said that much of the problem boils down to Putin's ego and his desire to rebuild the Soviet Union. Ukrainians, however, were oppressed under Stalin in soviet times, said Pupchek. She said Stalin starved 30 million Ukrainians and put Russians in their homes when they died.
Pupchek said the fact Putin's troops gathering on the border should matter to Americans because of what it means for the future.
"The idea that a country can invade another country is outrageous," she said. "It's like a land grab."
The current tensions could affect students from Russia, she added. Russian students may find that their bank accounts are frozen, which could cause problems for them.
"The way it will affect you will become clearer as the days and weeks progress," she said.
She said that students traveling to Russia as part of the JBIP program this summer could have problems getting across the border, but since they are planning to travel to St. Petersburg, they may be far enough from Moscow that the problems will not be as great. Problems would likely be with the military and police, mostly at the border, but that once in Russia, students should find that the Russian people as a whole are wonderful.
Pupchek said that Russia is currently trying to become a dominant power with a push back to Soviet times. She has said on her blog that even the way we speak about Ukraine – calling it "the Ukraine" – signifies a mentality that is stuck in the Cold War. However, the outcome of this conflict could change the way we view that region.
"Ukraine, in some form, will be part of the West," she said.

Finding the Magic in Virtual Learning: One District Shares their Keys to Success
December 18, 2020 By Dawn McAvoy
Resources » Community » Blog
If there's one thing Lisa Rowbotham believes, it's that effective teachers create magic when they ignite a student's passion for learning. In this episode of Opportunity Thrives, we focus on education innovation in New Jersey. We have the pleasure of chatting with Lisa who is the Secondary ELA Supervisor for Passaic Public Schools, and she also runs the AVID program for the district.
Throughout the episode Lisa shares their district's strategies for implementing successful remote learning opportunities for their students. She shares the district's expansive professional development and support for teachers, how they're engaging students who are learning from a distance, and enlisting parents as partners in the learning process.
Whether you are a remote learning pro, or you are still trying to work out a few challenges in your district, you will most definitely gain a few insights from this episode. Lisa shares helpful strategies that other education leaders and teachers can implement within their district right away. Listen to the full episode: https://opportunitythrives.com/the-future-of-edtech-a-chat-with-lisa-rowbotham/.
Flexible, but open to change
One of the priorities the administrators at Passaic Public Schools considered from the beginning was how to be flexible and open to change for the benefit of their families. But they also wanted to ensure there was still an opportunity to deliver quality instruction. This meant prioritizing the right technology that would meet the needs of educators and students to ensure everyone could be successful.
Equity of access
As many districts have shared on the podcast, equity of access was also a priority for Passaic Public Schools. They wanted to have instruction that was similar or as close as possible to their brick-and-mortar instruction, using their novel-based curriculum. That meant it was imperative for the district to find eBooks that would be accessible to their students and curriculum that would support the pacing guides that educators needed.
Fostering Relationships
It's easy to build and foster relationships with in-person instruction. But it's a different story when you have to do it remotely. The district's educators committed to dedicating time at the beginning of the school year that made a big impact on building their relationships with students. They spent time really getting to know their students, understanding their situations, how they're feeling, and fostering a relationship with them. Knowing that students have been isolated and have had minimal contact with their peers, educators have also built-in time for them to connect with their peers virtually.
Professional Development and Training for Students and Families
They recognize that many of the digital tools and strategies are new, so the district spent a lot of time offering professional development for teachers. They also developed digital, interactive notebooks for students. Lisa knew they were asking their educators to bring the magic into their digital classes, so she promised them they would have the resources they needed to do that. She considered it her personal responsibility, as well as the district's, to provide them with everything they needed to create that magic.
A Typical Week of Virtual Learning
Passaic School District follows a block schedule, or two periods of instruction through a gradual release model. Each teacher begins their lessons with an SEL question, a wellness check-in, or a moment of cheer as some teachers have called it. This welcomes their students back into their classroom.
From here they transition into instruction modeling and sharing their learning targets and criteria for success. Once the teacher models the task, they invite students to practice together.
Teachers assign the task that students are expected to perform. These tasks could be asynchronous or synchronous tasks online. Embedded within the schedule is what they call reconnect time at the end of class. This provides opportunities for students to reconnect with their instructor about the tasks they just completed, what was modeled, or their homework assignment, and the teachers are ready, willing and available to support them.
Enlisting parents as partners in the learning process
Parents are engaged and involved in their student's school work like never before. That means they have a different expectation of communication. The district created how to guides for parents to navigate the digital learning platform their student uses, so they are comfortable helping their child.
They also implemented a parent support program where teachers are available twice/week for two hours. Lisa shared that they view parents as their team members in the classroom, and she believes the more aligned they are, the more they will be able to cultivate and benefit those relationships, and ultimately, drive student succeed.
There has never been more respect and administration for our profession and our educators. It is incredibly challenging to completely redesign what you do as a profession in a matter of months. The educators at Passaic have been able to do that successfully. Lisa is seeing their students display not only resiliency, but they are also taking ownership of their learning. They are navigating all of this in such an amazing way, being proactive, asking questions, and seeking help when they need it.
She believes the classroom is one place they can offer them a safe haven and consistency in life where they have an opportunity to see their classmates, exchange a smile, and have a brief conversation – a little slice of normalcy.
With everything that has happened, this has given everyone—teachers, students, and parents—time for reflection. Our life has slowed down a little. Now we are seeing opportunities for introspection or the chance to chart your life and think about the positives. Now they include that in their instruction, and they are considering the needs of the whole child. Students are being more reflective, thinking about their futures and how precious these moments are to connect.

Home Guide What happens if all Operators are MIA in Rainbow Six Extraction?
What happens if all Operators are MIA in Rainbow Six Extraction?
Guide Umme Lykin · October 17, 2022 · 0 Comment
At the point when Operators go down in Rainbow Six Extraction, they are canvassed in balance froth, caught by the Parasite and become inaccessible to use until they are saved. Losing an Operator brings about mission disappointment, and players should redeploy to take a stab at saving the fallen Operator. In some cases, nonetheless, groups who lose an Operator mid-mission can save the fallen Operator instead of that mission's unique target.
The Operator Auto Rescue include in Rainbow Six Extraction keeps players from having under three Operators whenever. This safeguard permits players to get their first MIA Operator immediately when the program loses one of the last three Operators.
Being a Rainbow Six Operator is sufficiently perilous, yet includes the exceptional danger of zombies tainted by an outsider parasite and the risk level gets kicked up around 100 scores. The list of Operators in Rainbow Six Extraction set their lives on the line each time they enter another tainted zone. Now and then the mission goes fine. Now and then they might get truly harmed. Also here and there, they may not make it home by any means.
In the event that one of your invasions goes actually gravely, an Operator might become Missing In Action or MIA. This is the absolute last thing you need to have occurred since it basically fixes things such that you can't utilize that Operator any time soon. Be that as it may, relax, there is a method for recuperating your MIA Operators, and this guide will show you how.
It's not really feasible for all Operators to be MIA in Rainbow Six Extraction. Regardless of whether a significant number of your Operators go MIA in succession, the game has an inherent safeguard that guarantees you'll forever have functional Operators accessible for attacks. The manner in which the game depicts this is that it "will naturally return the earliest caught Operator to your program if necessary." Technically, you just at any point need one Operator to leave on an invasion, however, it really ensures you generally have no less than three. In this way, assuming that it's from the get-go in the game and you have nine Operators opened, however, six of them are MIA, then, at that point, you lose another, the first of those unique six to have been caught will consequently be delivered and returned.
This situation is profoundly improbable to occur and is surprisingly more far-fetched once you open more Operators, yet we really look at what happens in light of the fact that we're focused on responding to the inquiries players are posing. In the event that it really happens to you, we propose you improve at finishing MIA salvage missions effectively. The main thing to know is that there's no "Game Over" in Rainbow Six Extraction, regardless of whether you flop stupendously in a few invasions in succession.
How An Operator Becomes MIA
At the point when you head out on an attack, you can't recuperate any HP you lose when you take harm. There's nothing left but to utilize medkits and certain Operator capacities, for example, Doc's Health Pistol to provide your personality with a cycle of brief wellbeing. Assuming that the Operator you're utilizing loses their hit focuses in general, they'll enter a state known as Down But Not Out or DBNO. When you're in the DBNO state, one of your partners needs to get you so you can proceed with the battle. Administrators just have one life, so assuming you go down once more, your personality is taken out and your body becomes encased in defensive balance froth to shield them from being contaminated with the parasite.
At the point when an Operator is taken out, the main way they can extricate from the mission is assuming one of the different Operators gets their body, pulls it over to the Extraction Zone, and places it in the Extraction Pod. In the event that this doesn't occur and the froth-covered Operator is abandoned on the mission, then, at that point, that Operator becomes MIA. This likewise occurs assuming that each individual from the crew goes down and the mission comes up short.
Assuming one of your Operators becomes MIA, that implies you can't pick them for any future missions until they're safeguarded. They'll be recorded as MIA in your personality list and their personality picture will have a major, red MIA image stepped on it. Clearly, it sucks assuming one of your cherished Operators is missed out there, yet what exacerbates this generally messy circumstance is that any XP that the MIA Operator acquired while out on the mission is kept from you. So in addition to the fact that you need to save them so you can play as them once more, however you want to get them back to get that experience focus back too.
This is a strained situation as bombing the salvage endeavor will bring about you losing that XP and may prompt much more Operators to become MIA. On the positive side, you can't lose your Operators as a whole. Assuming things get really awful, the game will give you back the earliest person that went MIA, so you'll forever have somebody to play as.
How to Rescue A MIA Operator
To safeguard an MIA Operator, you first need to start another mission in a similar level you lost them in. At the point when the attack starts, one of the goals will request that you save an MIA Operator, which will be a similar one you're searching for. At the point when you arrive at the part that has this evenhanded, you'll initially have to discover where your Operator's body is being held. The parasite will have caught them, and they'll adhere to a construction called an Archaean Tree.
This objective requires one squadmate to pull on the froth encased body to eliminate them from the Tree. This will leave them incapable to shoot or utilize their gear. While they're doing this, tacky limbs called Anchor Points will shoot out, append themselves to the dividers, and begin conveying eruptions of energy called Cells toward the Tree. At the point when these Cells arrive at the Tree, they increment their solidarity, which makes it take more time to pry the harmed Operator free. This basically makes a back-and-forth between the Operator attempting to recover their MIA friend and the obstinate Archaean Tree. This is addressed by these images that will show up on the screen.
The yellow jewel in the center addresses you while the red circle means how much strength the Archaean Tree has left. The jewel will go along this bar towards the three-sided Extraction image on the right and the circle will gradually become unfilled as you keep on pulling. When the precious stone arrives at the end, the MIA Operator will be liberated from the Tree and prepared for extraction. In any case, focus on the blips rolling in from the left as those address the Cells arriving at the Tree. In the event that they come to the Tree, the circle will fill back up and the back-and-forth will proceed.
The most ideal way to finish this goal is to have one Operator center exclusively around pulling the froth encased body free. In the meantime, the remainder of the group needs to shield them from approaching Archies and shoot the Cells to keep them from assisting the Tree with winning this back-and-forth. They can likewise shoot the Anchor Points themselves as they'll sometimes open up making them helpless against gunfire.
When the MIA Operator is out of the Tree, the method is equivalent to separating a took out colleague. Convey their body to the Extraction Point, place them in the Extraction Pod, and you're good to go. You'll get those missing experience focuses back and your Operator will record a little. Allow them to recharge after this awful trial, and they'll be prepared to get back in the battle instantly.

"It becomes natural to fight for the things we love", Matthias J. Goetz – sustainability-focused architect and model for our latest campaign – explains when asked about why he invests time and effort into taking care of the environment.
Following our shoot in Barcelona, we had a chat with Matthias and had him share the changes he wishes to see in the world, his contribution and what motivated him to get started in the first place.
How must one picture sustainability-focused architecture? How does it distinguish itself from average architecture?
Starting with the second question, I would like to challenge the term "average architecture". When we look at the history of architecture we will find that for most of the time buildings were pretty sustainable. Back in the day for the most part local building materials were used and the main energy source for heating was wood. This was done primarily out of necessity, but it also meant that the architecture tended to be largely sustainable. In the so-called developed world this changed with the discovery of fossil fuels and the industrial revolution a little more than 200 years ago. Meaning that the history of non-sustainable buildings is very young and also has not even reached every corner of the world yet. So probably the "average architecture" for a high percentage of the world's population is still sustainable compared to our glass palaces in the western world. Having said that, I would say that sustainability-focused architecture takes into account that some resources on planet earth are limited or even hazardous for us and future generations. Hence renewable resources and carbon neutral energy play an important role in this field.
What motivated you to go into the field you're in?
For me working in sustainable development makes kind of intuitive sense. Why would I be interested in working in a field that is doomed to fail in the long run? Non-sustainable architecture is definitely not the future, as the word itself already implies.
Also I like to challenge the way we do things. I have never identified with people who would say, or think "We do it this way, because we have always done it this way." This approach is way too easy and lacks any sense of innovation or imagination. Do we want to be heroes in the eyes of our children and grandchildren or do we want to be remembered as the egomaniac generations that partied on planet earth as if there was no tomorrow?
Finally, I would say that my main motivation is that I love humankind and planet earth with all of its diverse flora and fauna, as cheesy as that might sound. It would be great if our species could stay a little longer on this pale blue dot spinning through space, and preserve the things of beauty on it.
What would you say might've been your biggest accomplishment in this field? How have you made your mark?
That is a tough one, since I do not tend to look back a lot, in general more focusing on the marks that I want to make in the future. But on a personal level I would say that my vision helped a few business plans and initiatives in the past to kick-off and that my lack of fear to fail helped us innovate in some of our architectural projects in Germany and Chile.
On a bigger scale – in terms of impact in the field of sustainability – I'm quite proud of what we have achieved with the Elephant Podcast over the last two years, where we managed to spread climate change awareness to an international audience through interviews with leading thinkers, experts, journalists and scientists.
I also have great hope that our software project called CAALA, which brings together architectural design and parametric life-cycle analysis in at a very early stage, will change the way we will develop buildings in the future. If the software works out as we envision it, and successfully brings life-cycle considerations to the first stages of architectural design, non-sustainable architecture will only appear in history books in a few decades from now.
As can be seen on the pages of our look book you're also a model – what change would you like to see in the fashion and beauty industry when it comes to sustainability?
There are actually a lot of similarities between the fashion and beauty industry and architecture. For instance, creating something aesthetical appealing is arguably one of the key drivers in those fields. When it comes to sustainability in fashion I often hear the myth, that you can either have great design or a sustainable product. This is simply not true and there are countless examples that prove this statement wrong. In fact, with the disposable culture, and fast fashion that dominates so much of the industry at the moment, you could even say the opposite is true, leading us to consume more and more clothes and accessories which simply do not last, and weren't designed to last.
I would like to see people working in those industries challenge themselves more, to look at the whole life-cycle of their products and add sustainability as a basic parameter. If it is possible for this generation to accept tough challenges in physical workouts and clean eating, it should surely be possible to set the bars higher in our professional lives as well. Also it would be great if we could move back from quantity to quality. Less is more.
In many ways, neubau eyewear is about combining consciousness and style. Where would you say does this shimmer through within this campaign and the brand as a whole? So, in your opinion, where and how does neubau succeed in terms of sustainability?
I believe the best part about the consciousness campaign of neubau eyewear is that the sustainability topic is actually not obviously shimmering through when you look at the product. When I saw glasses designed by neubau eyewear for the first time, it was the style and quality that caught my attention. I was actually not aware that sustainability was a driving factor behind the product. This is the definition of success for me, when you can still focus on what you are best at – designing great glasses in this case – while following a holistic sustainable approach.
What are your favorite places in Spain — architecture-wise — and why?
That was a big coincidence during the neubau eyewear campaign shooting at the CaixaForum Barcelona. My favorite spot is right next to it, the Barcelona pavilion by Mies van der Rohe. I visit the pavilion several times a year and I always leave inspired and motivated to become a better architect.
I would also say that Barcelona in general is my favorite city in Spain, because it is such a colorful and playful place, with the spirit of Gaudi around every corner. Maybe it is because my wife is from here, but it really feels like a generally positive place to me. For architectural lovers coming to Barcelona I would also recommend to look at the works of Bofill and RCR Arquitectes, but there are many more things to discover.
Where would you like to go? What country/city/building would you like to visit/see in person?
There are too many places and buildings, which I would like to visit to name them all. Generally speaking I'm interested in places where I'm not familiar with the local culture yet. Different approaches to life often lead to different approaches in design and architecture and I find that to be quite fascinating.
I'm thinking about places like Astana (Kazakhstan), Teheran (Iran) or Detroit (USA) to just give a few examples.
According to your résumé, one might say you're generally concerned about environmental issues — where does that stir from?
I believe that it was the influence of my parents and their passions which set me on this track of caring for our environment. My mother is a biologist and my father is a chemical engineer who actually also originally wanted to become a biologist. When I was little we would walk in nature together and they would always take the time to explain to me how the different plants and animals are dependent on each other, while also making me aware of which actions could potentially harm our ecosystems.
Nature felt like a big theme park to me and I was especially fascinated by the transformation of caterpillars into butterflies – a fascination that remains with me up to the present day. I guess it comes natural to fight for things that you love. At the same time I have to admit that I never managed to be really radical in leading a sustainable lifestyle. There are still tons of things that I could change about my own life that would benefit the environment, starting with flying less for example. I'm trying hard to lead a more sustainable life, but I do not want to sell myself as the green knight here.
Are there sustainability-engaged people or brands you look up to or feel inspired by?
In our Elephant Podcast we spoke to quite a number of people that I truly look up to, like Naomi Klein, Bill McKibben and Alan Rusbridger. It's encouraging because in almost every field you will find an inspiring sustainability-engaged person, because it truly is a topic that knows no borders. We also spoke to Greenpeace activists and NASA astronauts and scientists that all had exciting stories to tell. I would encourage interested readers to follow our podcast as it features interviews with a whole bunch of inspiring sustainability-engaged people from a diverse range of backgrounds.
When it comes to brands the first name that comes to my mind is PATAGONIA. I was really impressed by their approach to encourage their clients to repair old gear instead of buying something new. They seem to ask themselves the right questions and their products are still great and meant to last. I've travelled with one of their waterproof bags for many years.
If you're not at work or modeling, what do you like to do in your spare time?
There are so many things that it would be ridiculous to name them all, especially because every year I find something new that excites me. Last year I dedicated my weekends to a gliding club "Akaflieg Berlin", because I always dreamed of becoming a pilot and gliding is quite a sustainable way to get up in the air. Here in Huesca my possibilities are limited compared to Berlin and I'm going back to my roots. I was just accepted by a local basketball club "Juventud Osca" and I'm working out hard to keep up with the players who are 8 – 10 years younger than me. On the weekends my wife and I are mostly going hiking in the Pyrenees. It is a small town life we are living here.
Where do you see yourself and the world 10 years from now?
I envision a scenario where in 10 years from now, the first superhuman AI will be presented to the world. One of the first advices the superhuman AI will have for us will be to not destroy our own habitat, which will come as a surprise for many. Nevertheless, humankind will follow the advice, since it is not a human being studying this field for decades telling us to take care of our planet, but something supernatural that can foresee things we could just never understand (perhaps because we are too invested in the status-quo).
As for me, it's hard to say foresure if architects are still needed when superhuman AIs are around, but I hope that I'll be continuing to be enjoying life, spending it with the people I love, and in my professional life doing my best in any small ways I can, to contribute positively to society, sustainable architecture, and the manner in which we live in the planet.

June 12, 2019 By Ron Decker in STATES No Comments Tags: South Carolina, state
"'South Carolina"' is a state in the southeastern United States, one of the so-called South Atlantic states.
The name of the state is received from the name of the province of Carolina, a British colony in North America, which in 1712 was divided into North Carolina and South Carolina. The region of Carolina was named the English King Charles II in honor of his father – King Charles I (Carolus).
The capital of South Carolina is Columbia.
South Carolina's nicknames
The Palmetto State
South Carolina area
In 1663 the lands of North Carolina and South Carolina states were donated by the King of Great Britain Charles II to eight English lords. The future Charleston, and in 1670 Charles Town (named in honor of the king, like the colony itself) turned out to be the first European settlement in South Carolina.
In 1729, South Carolina became an independent colony. One of the historical battles of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was the battle near Cowpens in 1781 that took place in South Carolina and ended with the victory of the Americans. After the war, South Carolina became the eighth state in the United States.
Cotton plantations, where the slaves worked, gave high profits. South Carolina was considered the state with the highest per capita income.
In 1860, South Carolina announced its withdrawal from the United States, protesting against the abolition of slavery. Based on the proclaimed independence, the governor demanded that all federal property in its territory, including military facilities, such as Fort Sumter, located in Charleston Harbor, be returned to state ownership. The storming of Sumter in 1861 marked the beginning of the American Civil War.
The troops of the "northerners" under the command of General William Sherman in 1865 destroyed and burned many plantations and the capital of Colombia. South Carolina restored its economy after the Civil War for many years.
The wealth of planters in South Carolina and their tastes determined the position of the state — there are still no large cities in South Carolina, few areas of high-rise buildings, and forests occupy most of the area.
About 4,680,000 people live in South Carolina. The average population density in South Carolina is about 157/sq mi (60.6/km2).
There are no big cities in South Carolina, in the largest of them, Colombia, there are about 130,000 inhabitants. Other towns in the state are Charleston (about 120,000 inhabitants), North Charleston (about 100,000 inhabitants), Mount Pleasant and Rock Hill (about 70,000 inhabitants).
The largest urban agglomerations in the state formed around Colombia (more than 780,000 people), Charleston and North Charleston (more than 680,000 people) and Greenville (about 650,000 people). Located near the state's northern border, Rock Hill enters the metropolitan area that grew up around Charlotte in neighboring North Carolina.

Blood and Shutdowns: How Iran cut off Internet access during November 2019 protests
International Media News
This statement was originally published on article19.org on 7 October 2019.
Since the November 2019 protests and the most extensive Internet shutdown in Iran's history, Iranian authorities have continued to shut down the Internet every time protests take place across the country.
In 2019, the blackout made it easier for the state to carry out gross human rights violations including attacks on civilians. Amnesty International has documented that at least 304 protesters were killed while one Reuters media report puts the number at over 1500.
These shutdowns continue to disconnect Iran from international media and secure communication and the only national telecommunication methods left available are insecure, censored and surveilled.
On 7 October 2020 ARTICLE 19 will launch their latest, and the most extensive, digital rights briefing on the November 2019 Internet shutdowns, 'Tightening the Net 2020: After Blood and Shutdowns'.
This report takes a close look at the mechanisms, infrastructure, law and policies that led to mass disconnection between 15 to 27 November 2019 and:
Reveals the complex infrastructure and the opacity in decision making processes that have allowed the Iranian government to repeatedly shut down the Internet whenever they choose.
Examines how US sanctions have contributed to further isolating Iranians.
Considers the risks of the National Information Network, and the broader outlook for Internet governance and connectivity in Iran.
Outlines clear solutions to address this problem.
Please watch this short animation which explains the significance of our report:
Leaked notice from Iran's Communication Regulatory Authority (CRA) to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) ordering a phased, (rather than a simultaneous), reconnection of different institutions, and excluding areas where protests continued. (see page 20).
A November 2019 map of Iran's ISPs, showing how all international Internet connections were initially made through two state-controlled Internet gateways.
A July 2020 map of Iran's ISPs, illustrating a form of "decentralisation" whereby private companies can now be seen directly peering (or connecting) with international Internet connections.
"The state's complete control over Internet infrastructure enabled shutdowns on the scale of that seen in November 2019. The state monopoly over Internet connections, however, is loosening, as our research maps out," explains Saloua Ghazouani, Director of ARTICLE 19 MENA.
Regarding our analysis of the Internet decision making process in Iran, Ghazouani adds:
"The ambiguity and lack of transparency is glaring and power holders such as President Hassan Rouhani, his Minister of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Mohammad-Javad Azari Jahromi and the Supreme Leader continue to distance themselves from the responsibility of shutting down the Internet."
Key findings for law and policy
There is still a lack of clarity over who ordered the shutdown in 2019 as evident by ARTICLE 19's mapping of the decision-making processes that surround Internet governance in Iran (page 40).
Despite the Minister of ICT's invocation of the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) Constitution to support Iran's right to shutdown the Internet, Iran's November shutdowns remain illegal under international human rights law.
While the Iranian authorities must deliver justice for the violations committed during the shutdown, the US government and the international community can also help to prevent further isolation for Iranians by encouraging US tech companies to remove blocks, whitelist services and deliver secure hosting in Iran.
ARTICLE 19 calls on Iran to conduct an independent and transparent investigation into the shutdown, transparently document Internet governance decision making, prosecute those found responsible for the shutdown, and ensure that access to the Internet is protected at all times, and especially during protests.

Meet the New Mao
September 28, 2011 Topic: BureaucracyDomestic PoliticsMuckety MucksPeacekeepingRising PowersPoliticsSecurity Region: China
It may be time to concede that China's leader-in-waiting, Xi Jinping, is not the moderate that many have assumed.
by Bruce Gilley
It may be time to concede that China's leader-in-waiting, Xi Jinping, is not the moderate that many have assumed. Indeed, evidence from his past suggests that Xi is going to steer China in a more aggressive direction, both domestically and internationally. As his time in office nears, Xi is evincing signs of being a narrow nationalist on foreign policy and of having a penchant for police actions in dealing with domestic frictions. Hence, his rise could signify that the long struggle between Maoists and reformers that characterized China's "reform era" is now ending. That era's replacement could be something more like the struggle that characterized the early years of the People's Republic, when social progressives who believed in Marxist theories of social emancipation struggled against anti-Japanese (and anti-American) nationalists who were more taken with Lenin's theories of political control. Xi is clearly in the latter camp, siding with order and power over social progress, and he may lead China in a very unpleasant direction.
Foreign policy is where new Chinese leaders tend to make their mark quickly, given the small number of people involved compared to domestic policy. Thus it's also the area where the question of who's in charge in Beijing really matters, and the fine art of Pekingology remains important. Vice president Joe Biden came away from an August visit praising Xi as "strong" and "pragmatic." Biden is probably right. But Xi's strength and pragmatism do not necessarily augur well for those fearful of a rising China.
The first time that Xi's "strong" dark side emerged publicly was in 2009 when on a visit to Mexico, he told local Chinese, "Well-fed foreigners have nothing better to do but point fingers at China. But China does not export revolution, we do not export poverty and hunger, and we do not interfere in the affairs of others. So what is there to complain about?"
Xi's "three did nots," as they have become known, have won plaudits from the country's nationalists, including the authors of the vitriolic 1996 book The China That Can Say No. These nationalists express hope that Xi will be the first leader since Mao who is willing to stand up to the West. In early September, Xi told students at the Central Party School, the party's elite training academy in Beijing, that "two overriding objectives—the struggle for both national independence and popular liberation, which is to say the realization of both state power and popular wealth—have always been closely related. The former has always been the basis of the latter."
Domestically, the same strongman style was evident in Xi's support of the head-cracking Bo Xilai's tenure in Chongqing. Another princeling who is also certain to join the ruling Politburo Standing Committee in 2012, Bo wiped out organized crime in the city with an indiscriminate 2009 sweep that ignored due process. Visiting the city in late 2010, Xi effused that the "hair-raising struggle to 'combat triad gangs and extirpate evil criminals'" was "deeply popular" and praised the local security apparatus for "taking the lead" to root out the problem. His promotion of the "Chongqing model" has been sometimes interpreted as a return to Maoism. Instead, it is better seen as a return to the nationalist police state, more Chiang Kai-shek than Mao Zedong.
In mid-July, Xi was despatched to Lhasa to preside at the "celebration" of the sixtieth anniversary of the "liberation" of Tibet. In stark contrast to the conciliatory and humane policies of former party chief Hu Yaobang, whose visit to Tibet in 1980 marked the last chance for a real reconciliation with the region, Xi's visit was a study in domination. An overwhelming police and secret-service presence swamped the city, and nary a Tibetan was seen on the official podium. The city was in total lock-down and Xi was flanked by military and security personnel everywhere he went. He even brought his own water for drinking, cooking and bathing, according to Chinese media reports, so afraid was he of being poisoned. Xi made no attempt to mix with ordinary Tibetans and instead delivered a hard-line seventy-minute speech attacking the Dalai Lama and stressing the importance of the massive military presence in the region.
What is behind this "blood and iron" Xi? Conventional wisdom holds that this son of a CCP moderate—Xi Zhongxun, who suffered under Mao—Xi is a reformist. Indeed, his career in the south coastal provinces showed that he was keen on economic reforms and administrative effectiveness. But the reform era is over, and those debates are past. The debates now are between the Marxist progressives, many of whom earned their spurs within party organizations and in poor inland areas, and the Leninist nationalists, many of whom, like Xi, moved up through technocratic positions in government, usually in wealthy coastal areas. The Marxist progressives care most about social equity and party ideology, while the Leninist nationalists care most about national power and party discipline. Xi clearly falls into the latter group. He cares little for the issues of "social harmony," "people-centered development" and "scientific development" that have absorbed the attentions of the two Marxist progressives who have been in charge since 2002 (Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao). Instead, his focus is on state power, exerted both domestically and internationally.
For the United States, while Biden's brand of goodwill is appropriate at the diplomatic level, foreign-policy planners need to consider the growing possibility of a more confrontational foreign policy under Xi Jinping.

Smoking Cessation Following Lung Cancer Diagnosis Reduces Cancer Mortality Risk
New data support smoking cessation for patients with lung cancer following their diagnosis.
Patients with lung cancer who quit smoking at or around their cancer diagnosis may be able to improve their rate of survival, according to a meta-analysis published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology. Furthermore, the data suggest that smoking cessation education and support is vital even after diagnosis.1
Specifically, the findings revealed that patients who successfully stopped smoking improved their overall survival (OS). These findings were consistent across different subtypes, including patients with non–small cell lung cancer (summary relative risk [SRR], 0.77; 95% CI, 0.66-0.90, n studies = 8), small cell lung cancer (SRR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.57-0.99; n studies = 4), or lung cancer of both or unspecified histological type (SRR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.68-0.96; n studies = 6).
In the meta-analysis, smoking cessation was defined as ceasing to smoke either at moment of diagnosis, during treatment, or in the 12 months leading up to the diagnosis.
"Lung cancer remains a disease with poor prognosis despite recent advances in treatments. Here, we aimed at summarizing the current scientific evidence on whether quitting smoking at or around diagnosis has a beneficial effect on the survival of [these] patients," lead investigator Saverio Caini, MD, of the Institute for Cancer Research, Prevention and Clinical Network in Florence, Italy, and colleagues, said.
"Our study suggests that treating physicians should educate patients with lung cancer about the benefits of quitting smoking even after diagnosis and provide them with the necessary smoking cessation support," Caini added in a news release.2
Researchers analyzed articles published between 1980 and October 31, 2021 via MEDLINE and EMBASE and successfully identified 21 evaluable articles, which quantified the impact of smoking cessation and patient survival in lunger cancer. Among these articles, over 10,000 patient cases were examined.
In the study, the authors note that there are different biological mechanisms related to tobacco that may explain these findings and provide a basis for further research. For example, tobacco use is associated with tumor growth, progression, and dissemination. It is also linked to reduced efficacy in radiation and systematic therapy, as well as a reduction in tolerance to therapy. Lastly, tobacco use has been observed to increase the risk of postoperative complications and second primary cancers.
Study authors also noted that systematic differences could factor into the findings, explaining that between patients who ceased to smoke and those who did not, variables in demographics, tumor characteristics, and disease stage may also contribute to OS rates. Furthermore, patients who can quit may be at an increased likelihood of undergoing resection with curative intent.
"The meta-analysis has implications beyond clinical practice," Caini concluded. "Since heavy smokers would be primarily targeted by lung cancer screening programs, screening could serve as a teachable moment to help participants quit smoking by integrating a structured cessation program into the screening activities."

The Brattingsborg pennies are mentioned in medieval texts dating from the middle of the first millennium and many popular medieval legends refer to their occurrence on Iv Island in the Scania region (Sweden) as brattingsborgpenningar or in Latin as Nummulus brattenburgensis. Actually they are valves of the fossil brachiopod Crania craniolaris originally described by Linnaeus (1758) as Anomia craniolaris from the Upper Cretaceous. Later Retzius (1781) created the genus Crania based on these specimens from Iv Island and on another species he described under Crania (now Isocrania) egnabergensis from Ignaberga in the Scania region. The scientific history of those two species is reviewed along with that of Danocrania tuberculata (Nilsson, 1826), formerly figured as Craniolites brattenburgicus, from the Danian of Scania. Two legends about these "pennies" are included.

Eighteenth Chief of Naval Operations
August 1, 1967–July 1, 1970
Conduct and support of operations in Southeast Asia remained the first priority item during the Moorer years in the Navy's top assignment. The Chief of Naval Operations described the diverse nature of the Navy's combat role in this unusual conflict: "Today, our Navy and Marine forces utilize every available technique and skill. Tactics akin to those used by gunboats in the Civil War are exploited in the Mekong Delta of South Vietnam. At the same time offshore, our carriers and amphibious task forces are operating with the most complex and sophisticated electronic and weapons systems known to man. On board our Navy river boats, the seamen's eye and the bamboo pole are used to navigate, while far at sea satellite navigation systems guide our ships." In-country an accelerated training program moved ahead, looking toward turning over total operational responsibilities to the South Vietnamese Navy.
The demands of the combat area strained the Navy's capability to meet mission requirements in other sectors of the globe. Confronted, likewise, with force level reductions and the necessity to present a credible worldwide readiness posture, a vastly increased tempo of at-sea time was required of all fleet units. The resulting effect on career motivation and retention rate was severe. Admiral Moorer directed attention to meeting the needs of Navy men and their families by stating, "no matter how complex or how awesome you build the weapons of war, man is still the vital element of our defense team. Men make decisions, men fight battles, men win wars."
Two tragic events occurred—accidental loss at sea of the nuclear submarine USS Scorpion and the boarding and capture of USS Pueblo by the North Koreans—disasters entirely different in nature, but each with considerable impact.
Time and again before Congress and the public, the Chief of Naval Operations focused on the expanding and aggressive employment of the Russian Navy. "A Soviet bear who has demonstrated a new fondness for deep salt water," said Admiral Moorer, "represents a real and substantial challenge to free world maritime supremacy."
Rather than quantity—"the numbers game"—for the U.S. Navy, the Chief of Naval Operations stressed quality for ships, aircraft, and personnel. "We must be prepared for almost any environment in any area of the world." Admiral Moorer pressed for continued modernization and the phasing out of older ships to overcome the encroaching obsolescence of much of the active fleet. He drew notice to the fact that one new advanced design multipurpose ship could perform the mission of two or more old ships, and better.
Admiral Moorer considered a strong, broadly based research and development program—and incorporation of the most advanced technology—as matters of the utmost importance. He urged construction of a third Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carrier, while pointing out the increasing significance of carrier forces as the availability of overseas land bases continued to diminish. The program of converting Polaris submarines to receive the new Poseidon missiles moved ahead.
Thomas Hinman Moorer was born February 9, 1912, in Mount Willing, Alabama. After graduation from the Naval Academy in 1933 and Gunnery and Engineering duty in cruisers, he reported to Pensacola for flight training and was designated a naval aviator in 1936. His first flight duty was on board carriers and, at the time of the Japanese attack, he was attached to a patrol squadron based on Pearl Harbor. Moving with his squadron to the Southwest Pacific in the early desperate days of the war, Moorer's PBY was shot down off Darwin, Australia. Returning from the Pacific in July 1942, he was sent to the United Kingdom as a mining observer for Commander in Chief, U.S. Fleet. He then commanded a bombing squadron in the Atlantic and was later on the staff of Commander, Air Force, Atlantic Fleet, as Gunnery and Tactical Officer.
His immediate postwar assignment was with the Strategic Bombing Survey established by the President to study the effects of all types of air attacks on the enemy. This was followed by various sea and shore assignments including executive officer, Naval Aviation Ordnance Test Station, Chincoteague, Virginia; Experimental Officer, Naval Ordnance Test Station, Inyokern, California; a year in study at the Naval War College; and Aide to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Air).
Promoted to rear admiral on August 1, 1958, he served in the Strategic Plans Division, Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, then later as Assistant Chief of Naval Operations (War Gaming Matters), and then to sea as a carrier division commander. In November 1960, he returned to the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations as Director, Long Range Objectives Group, and in October 1962 assumed command of the Seventh Fleet. In June 1964, Admiral Moorer became Commander in Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet. The following April he broke his four-star flag in the dual national capacity as Commander in Chief, Atlantic and Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet; and in the NATO capacity as Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic. President Lyndon B. Johnson elevated Admiral Moorer to Chief of Naval Operations and President Richard M. Nixon reappointed him on June 12, 1969. The Senate confirmed his nomination to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on June 17, 1970, and he took office July 2—the first former Chief of Naval Operations to hold the post.
Admiral Moorer died in 2004 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

HIV Ireland publishes 2018 Annual Report
You are here: Home1 / HIV Ireland News2 / HIV Ireland publishes 2018 Annual Report
Our 2018 Annual Report has been published.
Launching the report, Chairperson Bernard Condon SC remarked on "Another year of challenging but impactful work" completed by HIV Ireland.
On behalf of the Board of HIV Ireland I am pleased to introduce our 2018 Annual Report. Another year of challenging but impactful work has been completed by HIV Ireland. The importance of these efforts, and those of our many partners, cannot be underestimated. Once again in the pages of another Annual Report I note that new HIV diagnoses in Ireland continued to increase – in 2018 to their highest level on record. Ireland has now experienced a 35% increase in new diagnoses since 2011. Whilst there are many reasons behind the growth in these figures, they are a stark reminder of the challenge that HIV continues to pose in our society and the necessity of this organisation to continue to engage, contribute and serve.
HIV Ireland does not operate alone and much of our work is undertaken in partnership with other organisations, agencies and individuals. This partnership approach is at the heart of our organisation, and has been keenly evidenced throughout the past year. We have continued to work closely with our sexual health colleagues across the country on further developing Rapid HIV Testing, while reaching out to new colleagues in our efforts to expand our work within key populations affected by HIV. We look forward to continuing this policy of cooperation with both statutory and non-statutory organisations that work directly with key risk populations – groups working with men who have sex with men, people who use drugs, sex workers, migrants, and people experiencing homelessness amongst others.
2018 was a notable year for our renewed efforts to expand our message and strive to further our ambition in providing expertise and experience in education, community activity, testing, advocacy and support. On Irish AIDS Day we launched the inaugural Red Ball, and we were grateful for the attendance of our guest of honour, An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. The Red Ball was an opportunity to reach out and engage with our partners, sponsors, and supporters, and I thank them all for their great generosity which helps to advance our goals. I most particularly wish to mark the incredible efforts of my fellow Board member Jeanne McDonagh in organising and choreographing the event so successfully. I also thank her team of volunteers who gave so kindly of their time.
This brings me to thank the entire Board – HIV Ireland is lucky to have such expertise in so many areas available to it, and I thank each of my fellow Board members for their service and their invaluable contributions. Also, as part of our renewed commitment to reaching out publicly I recall the incredibly effective event we organised at Leinster House marking World AIDS Day where six national party leaders volunteered to publicly undergo a Rapid HIV Test to help promote the importance of getting tested. By doing so they also took a major step forward in reducing HIV related stigma in Ireland. Such political leadership is crucial in responding to the challenges that HIV presents in Ireland today.
These events help to tackle stigma and drive a message of inclusion, tolerance and understanding. We have developed a strategy to continue this approach, and so in this regard we launched the #5Asks campaign in 2018. That campaign continues our commitment to the U=U message and the campaign for properly available PrEP in Ireland. We were among the first to advance the issue of the Fast Track Cities initiative being adopted in Ireland. Progress is already being made on these issues but that will only encourage us to push further on behalf of those affected by HIV.
For HIV Ireland to effectively respond to the increase in new HIV diagnoses, we recognise the importance of bringing all our experience and knowledge to bear within the political and public policy arena. In 2018, we worked closely with the main political parties to highlight the issue of HIV in Ireland, and how best it should be responded to. We will continue to speak up for those living with HIV and those at risk or affected by the illness.
In terms of our own organisation I want to wholeheartedly thank all those who support our work and particularly mark the contribution of our dedicated and experienced staff. Their commitment and skill is augmented by the contribution of the volunteers of HIV Ireland. That work together undoubtedly enhances the lives of many people living with HIV in Ireland. I sincerely thank them all for their hard work.
On behalf of the Board I wish to express our appreciation to all those who helped fund the organisation. I cannot but emphasise the importance of this support in allowing us to continue to provide services, and survive as a potent force engaged with the issues that HIV presents, and will continue to present into the future. New challenges lie ahead – the introduction of PrEP, the advances in testing technology, stigma and the challenges for those growing older. We must remain ready to engage, ready to evolve and ready to speak up as we always have.
Thank you to all who assisted in last year's great efforts.

Joint statement from the GMC and Academy of Medical Royal Colleges on Doctors' vaccination
Type: FSRH Press Releases and Statements
The General Medical Council(GMC) and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) has just released a statement on Doctors' vaccination.
You can read the full statement below:
We note the Government is consulting on revoking the regulations that make vaccination against COVID-19 a condition of deployment for health and social care workers in England, based on the latest emerging evidence. The GMC has reviewed and updated its advice for doctors on vaccinations accordingly.
While the GMC does not consider that solely turning down vaccination would in itself form the basis of a fitness to practise referral, doctors have a professional duty to protect patients from risks posed by their health, and to be immunised against common serious communicable diseases, unless contraindicated.
The GMC and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges have consistently made clear that in the case of COVID-19, the potential risk to a doctor's own health as well the risk of inadvertently spreading the virus to vulnerable patients weighs very strongly in favour of doctors being vaccinated. Reducing the number of staff members who are sick or in self-isolation also has a positive impact on workforce capacity to respond to patient need and wider health service demands.
Being a good doctor means more than simply being a good clinician. Doctors can provide leadership to their colleagues and vision for the organisations in which they work and for the profession as a whole.
Whether or not vaccination is required as a condition of deployment, it continues to be one of the most effective ways to protect patients, staff and the health service itself. Over 95% of doctors have already received at least two vaccinations, with the majority of these having also been boosted. We strongly encourage those who haven't yet taken up the full course of vaccination to do so.
In agreeing this statement the Academy Council also elected to update its own position in the light of the evolving official guidance. That work is underway, but in the meantime the current statement can be viewed here.

Biografia
Nato a Ostrava, all'epoca in Cecoslovacchia, da padre jugoslavo proveniente dalla Macedonia, Jankulovski è sposato con Jana e ha due figlie, Karolína e Kristýna.

Caratteristiche tecniche
Jankulovski poteva essere schierato sulla fascia sinistra sia a centrocampo, sia in difesa. Era abile nella corsa e nel cross per i compagni ed era in possesso di un buon tiro dalla distanza con il suo piede naturale, il sinistro.

Carriera

Club

Baník Ostrava
Nato ad Ostrava, gioca fin da giovane nella squadra cittadina, il Baník. Nel 1994 entra nella prima squadra e la stagione si conclude con un terzo posto in campionato. Tra il 1995 e il 1997 Jankulovski rimane nella squadra ceca, concludendo i tornei al centro della graduatoria. Nella stagione 1997-1998 la squadra giunge al quarto posto nella Gambrinus Liga. Rimane ad Ostrava fino al 2000, quando viene notato dal Napoli e si trasferisce quindi in Italia. In totale con la squadra ceca disputa 110 partite in campionato.

Napoli e Udinese
Nel 2000 il , su indicazione dell'allenatore Zdeněk Zeman, lo preleva dal . Nella prima stagione in Serie A, rientrato dal torneo di calcio della XXVII Olimpiade, esordisce il 1 novembre 2000 in Lecce-Napoli 1-1. Nella stessa stagione segna anche 3 gol, il primo dei quali il 5 novembre in Napoli-Vicenza 1-2. Il Napoli a fine campionato retrocede in Serie B e ricomincia una nuova stagione con il tecnico Luigi De Canio, il quale permette al giovane Jankulovski di mettersi in luce sin dall'inizio. Durante il periodo al Napoli, Jankulovski percepisce uno stipendio di  all'anno.

Dopo un anno e mezzo in Campania, nel febbraio 2002 viene acquistato per 3,5 milioni di euro dall'Udinese, che lo lascia in prestito al Napoli fino alla fine della stagione. A Udine si consacra giocatore di grande talento, diventando subito elemento chiave della squadra con cui gioca 104 partite e segna 17 gol. Con la maglia dell'Udinese esordisce anche nelle competizioni UEFA per club disputando 4 partite in Coppa UEFA.

Milan

Le ottime prestazioni del giocatore spingono il Milan a prelevarlo dalla squadra bianconera nell'estate 2005 per 8,5 milioni di euro.

Nella prima stagione in rossonero non è schierato spesso in campo, a causa anche della frattura alla caviglia subito nel finale della stagione precedente nella partita di Coppa Italia contro la Roma per un duro intervento di Cufré che lo aveva costretto ad operarsi e stare fermo per 3 mesi, iniziando in ritardo la preparazione estiva. Dopo aver disputato il Mondiale 2006 con la Nazionale ceca inizia la seconda stagione con la maglia rossonera da protagonista, inanellando una serie di prestazioni convincenti impreziosite da gol decisivi (come quello contro l') e spingendo l'allenatore Carlo Ancelotti a puntare su di lui in molte occasioni, diventando uno dei titolari inamovibili della squadra milanese. Gioca da titolare la finale della Champions League 2006-2007, vinta contro il Liverpool.

Il 31 agosto 2007 realizza il gol del 2-1 nella partita contro il Siviglia con un tiro al volo di sinistro da posizione defilata, terminata 3-1 per i rossoneri e valevole per la Supercoppa Europea. Dopo il buon inizio di stagione, il giocatore ceco è costretto a fermarsi a causa di una lesione al menisco esterno del ginocchio destro subita in campionato contro l'Empoli il 21 ottobre 2007. Sempre nel 2007 è scelto come calciatore ceco dell'anno.

Le stagioni successive però non sono brillanti come quelle precedenti, infatti sono contrassegnate da parecchi infortuni, alcuni anche molto gravi, ed essendo stato operato è costretto a stare fuori dal campo a lungo e al suo ritorno non trova più sufficiente spazio in squadra.
Il 7 maggio 2011 vince lo scudetto con i rossoneri a due giornate dal termine del campionato grazie allo 0-0 contro la Roma e a fine stagione, alla scadenza del contratto, lascia la società rossonera dopo 158 partite ufficiali con 5 gol segnati.

Ritorno al Baník Ostrava
Il 10 ottobre 2011, dopo aver recuperato dall'infortunio al ginocchio occorsogli nella stagione precedente, decide di ritornare al Baník Ostrava, con cui firma un contratto annuale; sceglie la maglia numero 8. Il 15 ottobre seguente disputa la prima partita con il Baník Ostrava, subentrando a Zdeněk Šenkeřík nel corso della ripresa della gara conto lo Hradec Králové. Dopo solo 8 minuti, tuttavia, è costretto a lasciare il campo per via di un nuovo infortunio al legamento crociato anteriore del ginocchio sinistro. Il 20 febbraio 2012 annuncia la decisione di ritirarsi dall'attività agonistica.

Nazionale
Jankulovski ha esordito nella Nazionale ceca l'8 febbraio 2000 a Hong Kong amichevole contro il Messico (2-1) e ha realizzato il primo gol il 1º novembre 2001 contro l'Islanda (qualificazioni ai Mondiali 2002, sconfitta per 3-1).

Con la Repubblica Ceca ha preso parte al Mondiale 2006, dove la sua nazionale, nello stesso girone dell'Italia, è stata eliminata nella fase a gironi, e agli Europei del 2000 (eliminazione nella fase a gironi), 2004 (eliminazione in semifinale dai futuri campioni della Grecia dopo i supplementari) ed è stato convocato per quelli del 2008.

Il 15 ottobre 2009, giorno dopo l'ultima partita di qualificazione ai Mondiali del 2010 contro l'Irlanda del Nord (0-0), conclusasi con la mancata qualificazione dei cechi, ha annunciato il suo ritiro dalla Nazionale dopo 78 presenze e 11 gol.

Faculty & Research - Law School
Legal Research Sources
Additional Research Sources
You've probably found that LexisNexis and Westlaw can fulfill many of your school-related online legal research needs. When you don't have access to these sites (during the summer or after graduation), or they don't have what you're searching for, the following ten websites—five free and five subscription-only—can prove helpful.
Massachusetts Trial Court Law Libraries
This excellent starting point for Massachusetts legal research includes numerous research guides on Massachusetts law, links to primary source materials such as Massachusetts city and town bylaws, and (with free membership) remote access to HeinOnline. Many of these libraries also offer free onsite access to LexisNexis and Westlaw.
Contents include state appellate and supreme court cases since 1950, federal cases since 1923, and Supreme Court cases from 1791.
General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Find information on Massachusetts statutes, session laws, bills and their history, and other materials.
Congress.gov (formerly Thomas)
This is a great source for federal legislative information, including Senate and House bills, reports, and debates.
GovInfo (formerly FDsys)
Another great source for federal legal research, this site also has executive resources like federal regulations and presidential documents.
Subscription Sites
Suffolk Law students can access these databases from both on and off campus from the Research Databases page.
This resource has full-text federal and state cases and statutes; BCite citator tool for cases; sample forms and documents; federal and state court dockets; legal news and analysis; select books and treatises; topical practice centers; and advanced search features.
This resource offers online and app access to federal and state cases, statutes, regulations, and court rules, as well as bar publications. Additionally, Massachusetts Bar Association members receive free, unlimited access to Fastcase.
Offers older materials not found in other databases, and every document is a PDF of the original. Features law review articles, federal administrative law (regulations and agency decisions) and legislative material (Congressional Record and legislative histories), English Reports, and more.
MCLE OnlinePass
Access more than 150 titles on Massachusetts law that provide expert analysis with citations to primary sources and often include useful forms.
Social Law Library
Includes Massachusetts cases, statutes, regulations, and decisions of administrative agencies—which can be very difficult to find elsewhere.


Open access to the scientific literature means the removal of barriers (including price barriers) from accessing scholarly work. There are two parallel roads towards open access: Open Access articles and self-archiving. Open Access articles are immediately, freely available on their Web site, a model mostly funded by charges paid by the author (usually through a research grant). The alternative for a researcher is self-archiving (i.e., to publish in a traditional journal, where only subscribers have immediate access, but to make the article available on their personal and/or institutional Web sites (including so-called repositories or archives)), which is a practice allowed by many scholarly journals. Open Access raises practical and policy questions for scholars, publishers, funders, and policymakers alike, including what the return on investment is when paying an article processing fee to publish in an Open Access articles, or whether investments into institutional repositories should be made and whether self-archiving should be made mandatory, as contemplated by some funders. When the body is unable to create enough insulin followed by the fluctuation of blood glucose level in the normal range, it leads to Diabetes. This is further classified as Type 1 Diabetes that occurs mostly at the teenage, however can be seen from infants to elders also. Type 1 Diabetes has been found for the most common population of the country that is not curable after its occurrence, but can be prevented through the proper choice of diet, exercise and daily routine with regular medication. There are few symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes like tiredness, abnormal weight loss, more urine formation, increased thirst etc. This case is generally detected by the blood sugar test, where further medications are prescribed to maintain the insulin measure of the body. Among the body organs, pancreas plays an important role in diabetes as it is responsible for the production of insulin.
