Conferring of Awards Class of 2020 Chancellor’S Message to Graduates CONFERRING OF AWARDS CLASS OF 2020 CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE TO GRADUATES We are in rapidly changing and unprecedented times, and this year we have found new ways to celebrate your extraordinary achievements whilst we continue to ensure everyone stays safe during the pandemic. What remains constant, however, is the great pride we share with you in your graduation. Since its creation in the wake of another global upheaval last century, The Australian National University (ANU) has continued to play a critical role for our nation. From your very first day as a student here, you have been part of that mission to advance our knowledge of the world and Australia’s place in it through research and learning of the highest calibre. We continue to face significant challenges − from pandemics, climate change, technology and resources inequality to shifting geopolitical relations. We also face challenges in our communities but we will work together to make them stronger and more sustainable. No matter the scale of the issue, your time here has equipped you to help shape things for the better. As you make the transition from student to graduate, The Hon Julie Bishop we know you will continue to engage and contribute with the same rigour and commitment you have demonstrated Chancellor at ANU. The Australian National University You are joining our 100,000-strong family of international alumni working in research, government, business, industry, healthcare and many other fields of endeavour. Whatever your next steps, I am sure you will continue to make us proud. I offer you my sincere congratulations and best wishes for the future. 2 The Australian National University VICE-CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE TO GRADUATES To our graduating students, I commend you for your resilience and remarkable achievements. Resilient because of the ways you have stepped up during a time of great challenge to advance and complete your studies, adapting to new ways of conducting research, learning and connecting with others. Remarkable because of the incredible quality of thought and work you’ve shown here as part of The Australian National University. If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s that the only way we can work through complex problems is together. We are very fortunate to have a highly connected and talented community here at ANU. We come from different backgrounds, have faced different challenges and bring different perspectives to bear, whether we are students, staff or alumni. There’s no question we are stronger because of that diversity, which in turn strengthens how we engage with our broader communities in Australia, around our region and internationally. You have made the leap from student to graduate. We know you have worked hard and have also been supported by your peers and loved ones, for which we are all grateful. But this transition doesn’t mean you’re leaving ANU. Far from it. As one of our alumni, you will always be welcome here and, we hope, will always stay connected. Professor Brian P. Schmidt We know you will continue to make a positive impact to our Vice-Chancellor and President world wherever the future takes you. Like the many proud The Australian National University family, friends and community members who are joining us to honour you, we will keep watching your careers with pride and continue celebrating your achievements. So thank you and congratulations. Savour the moment, but also go out and make the most of the future opportunities that await.

  • Hezbollah's Syrian Quagmire
    Hezbollah’s Syrian Quagmire BY MATTHEW LEVITT ezbollah – Lebanon’s Party of God – is many things. It is one of the dominant political parties in Lebanon, as well as a social and religious movement catering first and fore- Hmost (though not exclusively) to Lebanon’s Shi’a community. Hezbollah is also Lebanon’s largest militia, the only one to maintain its weapons and rebrand its armed elements as an “Islamic resistance” in response to the terms of the Taif Accord, which ended Lebanon’s civil war and called for all militias to disarm.1 While the various wings of the group are intended to complement one another, the reality is often messier. In part, that has to do with compartmen- talization of the group’s covert activities. But it is also a factor of the group’s multiple identities – Lebanese, pan-Shi’a, pro-Iranian – and the group’s multiple and sometimes competing goals tied to these different identities. Hezbollah insists that it is Lebanese first, but in fact, it is an organization that always acts out of its self-interests above its purported Lebanese interests. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, Hezbollah also has an “expansive global network” that “is sending money and operatives to carry out terrorist attacks around the world.”2 Over the past few years, a series of events has exposed some of Hezbollah’s covert and militant enterprises in the region and around the world, challenging the group’s standing at home and abroad. Hezbollah operatives have been indicted for the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri by the UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) in The Hague,3 arrested on charges of plotting attacks in Nigeria,4 and convicted on similar charges in Thailand and Cyprus.5 Hezbollah’s criminal enterprises, including drug running and money laundering from South America to Africa to the Middle East, have been targeted by law enforcement and regulatory agen- cies.

  • The Gulf Military Balance in 2019: a Graphic Analysis
    Anthony H. Cordesman, Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy The Gulf Military Balance in 2019: A Graphic Analysis Anthony H. Cordesman and Abdullah Toukan With the Assistance of Max Molot Working Paper: Please send comments to [email protected] REVISED December 9, 2019 Photo: ARASH KHAMOUSHI/AFP/ Getty Images Introduction 2 The military balance in the Gulf region has become steadily more complex with time. Conventional forces have been been reshaped by massive arms transfers, and changes in major weapons, technology, and virtually every aspect of joint warfare, command and control, sensors, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. Missile warfare is changing radically as diverse mixes of ballistic and cruise missiles, UAVs and UCAVs, and missiles are deployed. Precision-guided, conventionally armed missiles are becoming a key aspect of regional forces, and so are missile defenses. The threat of nuclear pro0liferation remains, and at least one state – Iran - is a declared chemical weapons power while the Assad regime in Syria has made repeated use of chemical weapons At the same time, asymmetric forces, “proxy” forces, and various forms of military advisory and support missions are playing a growing role in local conflicts and gray area operations. So are local militia and security forces – often divided within a given Gulf state by sect and ethnicity. Terrorist and extremist forces continue pose serious threats, as do political tensions and upheavals, and the weaknesses and failures of some regional governments to meet the needs of their people. The most serious sources of Gulf conflicts are now the tensions between Iran and the Arab Gulf states, and the role played by terrorists and extremists, but civil war and insurgencies remain an additional threat - as does the links between Iran, Syria, and the Hezbollah.

  • Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I Women’S
    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Lady Vols show world-class distance dominance: Tennessee dominated Division I women’s indoor track March 13-14 – and dominated the world for more than 10 minutes. The Lady Vols captured the school’s second team title in five years at the Division I Women’s Indoor Track and Field Championships and won two events during competition at Texas A&M – including a victory in world-record time in the distance medley relay. Tennessee’s time of 10 minutes, 50.98 seconds, in that event sliced more than three seconds off Villanova’s 21-year-old world mark in the 1,200-/400-/800-/1,600-meter medley, and eight seconds off UCLA’s 2002 meet record. The relay squad was anchored for the second straight year by Sarah Bowman, who figured in both Lady Vols’ event titles and collected a second meet record when she out- leaned Texas Tech’s Sally Kipyego to win the mile run. “Oh, my gosh, look at what we’ve done this weekend,” said Bowman, who also was a member of the 2005 indoor championship team. “I couldn’t ask for a sweeter weekend my senior year. I can’t even put it into words. It’s so amazing. “The heart that this team has, I could actually tear up just talking about them. Just to be out here with these girls who are putting their hearts on the line for the team, and it makes you want to do it all the more. It’s awesome to be part of a team like that.” Tennessee coach J.J.

  • The Iranian Missile Challenge
    The Iranian Missile Challenge By Anthony H. Cordesman Working Draft: June 4, 2019 Please provide comments to [email protected] SHAIGAN/AFP/Getty Images The Iranian Missile Challenge Anthony H. Cordesman There is no doubt that Iran and North Korea present serious security challenges to the U.S. and its strategic partners, and that their missile forces already present a major threat within their respective regions. It is, however, important to put this challenge in context. Both nations have reason to see the U.S. and America's strategic partners as threats, and reasons that go far beyond any strategic ambitions. Iran is only half this story, but its missile developments show all too clearly why both countries lack the ability to modernize their air forces, which has made them extremely dependent on missiles for both deterrence and war fighting. They also show that the missile threat goes far beyond the delivery of nuclear weapons, and is already becoming far more lethal and effective at a regional level. This analysis examines Iran's view of the threat, the problems in military modernization that have led to its focus on missile forces, the limits to its air capabilities, the developments in its missile forces, and the war fighting capabilities provided by its current missile forces, its ability to develop conventionally armed precision-strike forces, and its options for deploying nuclear-armed missiles.

  • 10 Tuatha Dé Danaan at the Paps Of
    Tuatha Dé Danaan at the Paps of Anu? Some Thoughts on a Rainy Day. • Anu of Persia in Duhallow barony (North West, County Cork)? The blood claw ( Crobh Dearg, red claw) as the blood flow of a wound to the god/ goddess’s side after a battle, the blood flow as a claw sprawling to a holy well and a place called ‘the city’ i.e. a drystone built enclosure similar to a ringfort at Shrone on the northern side of the mountain and becoming three lesser goddesses. The goddess fallen to create the geomorphology of the landscape of South West Ireland? Her paps as two mountain peaks with a pre-historical burial cairn on each of them? Anu as the mythical mother of irish goddesses. The mother of Ériu, Banba and Fódhla? In Persian mythology is Anu a male figure and chief god and god of the sky, his children being lesser gods? Or can this god be both male and female - or male in one place while female in another? What association, if any, is there with a triad of goddesses in Persian mythology? In Irish mythology was a triad of lesser goddesses in the Sliabh Luachra district, beneath the Paps of Anu mountain-scape, to become christianised into three female saints Lasair, Latiaran, Ingen Buidhe? How might they have come to be understood in later times as the sisters of an Anglo-Saxon prince nearby named Saint Berihert? Did a triad of women bearing these names exist as nuns / holy women in the civil parishes of Cullen and Drishane in the 7th century AD? • There is a very interesting account of the folklore and history of the landscape of the Paps of Anu called The City and the Paps of Anu (Rathmore, Co.

According to Li Ganjie, Vice- Minister of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, safety evaluations of the 28 reactors under construction should be completed by October. Six weeks earlier, China declared its military nuclear facilities safe. Li emphasizes that the lessons from "Japan's Fukushima nuclear crisis are profound," and that China is working on a comprehensive and effective nuclear safety plan. Li confirms that China still plans to construct more than 100 reactors by 2020. On the other hand, "[China] needs to control the pace of [the nuclear energy] development," according to Zheng Yuhui, director of the research center of the China Nuclear Energy Association. The Chinese Academy of Sciences scholars add that China should maintain a relatively stable policy for nuclear power development and further strengthen nuclear safety. —中华人民共和国中央人民政府 [The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China], "环境保护部副部长会见美国能源部核能助理部长 [Vice-Minister of the Ministry of Environmental Protection Met the United States Department of Energy's Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy]," 14 June 2011, www.gov.cn; "After Inspections, China Moves Ahead with Nuclear Plans," The New York Times, 17 June 2011; "China Suspends New Nuclear Plant Approvals," China Daily (Edition in English), 15 June 2011, www.chinadialy.com; "China May Resume Giving Approvals to New Nuclear Plants-Official," BBC Monitoring Asia Pacific, 25 June 2011; "Experts: China Should Keep Nuclear Power Policy Stable," People's Daily (Edition in English), 25 May 2011; "Chinese Military Nuke Facilities Declared Safe," Global Security Newswire, 1 April 2011, www.gsn.nti.org.
