RUSSIAN AMERICA. FAREWELL TO THE CONTINENT (ENG SUB)

Why is Russia a threat to world peace?
Since Russia's invasion of Crimea and eastern Ukraine last year, President Putin has continued to have a belligerent and threatening stance. Although the West has imposed punishing economic sanctions on Russia, Putin shows no signs of removing his military presence from the Donbas region of Ukraine. Instead, he has adopted a decidedly provocative stance towards the West. In recent months, Moscow has boasted about Russia’s nuclear weapons capabilities and has mounted provocative military incursions into NATO airspace.
Russia now poses a serious threat to the existing European security order, which Moscow no longer recognises. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has shattered the comfortable belief that the use of force among leading European powers had been banished.
There is growing anxiety, especially in the Baltic countries and Scandinavia, about the dangers of further Russian military provocations. There is a growing realisation that Moscow’s new military strategy relies on the early recourse to tactical nuclear weapons in the event that it has to defend what it defines as its sovereign territory against a superior conventional military force.
Serious questions surround the issue of whether any NATO country, including Germany, would have the fortitude to defy Russia militarily. Although Russia’s military forces are still not comparable with those of the former Soviet Union, there is little doubt that Moscow can now use decisive military force in what it terms the near abroad.
Little of this seems to be understood in Canberra, where we have seriously rundown our Russian analytical capabilities. Our political leaders seem to be of the view that Russia is a weak country that is far away and of no strategic consequence. That is a seriously mistaken view in my opinion and I will seek to demonstrate that there are significant Australian strategic interests at risk here.

Greg O'CORRY CROWE 2/14/18 The Saga of the Steller Sea Lion in the Aleutian Islands
About the Speaker
Greg completed his studies in Ireland before embarking on a career studying the molecular and behavioral ecology of Steller sea lions, beluga whales, dolphins and other marine mammals. His research interests extend beyond the marine realm to the evolution of social behavior and mating systems in mammals. He’s also interested in the co-management approach to the management of marine resources, working with stakeholders including Alaska Native Organizations to solve real-world problems, and serves on a number of committees concerned with the management and conservation of marine resources.
About the Lecture
The Steller Sea lion is the largest sea lion in the world, ranging across the North Pacific Ocean from California to Japan. It’s population declined dramatically in recent decades and it is now listed as Endangered across much of its range. Until recently, relatively little was known about this magnificent animal, however, the plight of the Steller sea lion has become the focus of an international research effort to understand why its’s numbers have fallen and to develop effective recovery efforts.
The 1,200 mile Aleutian Island chain in Alaska borders the frigid waters of the Bering Sea and the deep North Pacific, and was once the stronghold of Steller’s sea lion. Few get to visit these remote, windswept Islands at the edge of the world. Now Harbor Branch scientists are journeying to this volcanic island archipelago to help unlock the mysteries of the sea lion’s decline.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS; Russian: Росси́йская акаде́мия нау́к (РАН) Rossíiskaya akadémiya naúk) consists of the national academy of Russia; a network of scientific research institutes from across the Russian Federation; and additional scientific and social units such as libraries, publishing units, and hospitals.
Headquartered in Moscow, the Academy (RAS) is considered a civil, self-governed, non-commercial organization chartered by the Government of Russia. It combines the members of RAS (see below) and scientists employed by institutions. Near the central academy building there is a monument to Yuri Gagarin in the square bearing his name.
As of November 2017, the Academy included 1008 institutions and other units; in total about 125,000 people were employed of whom 47,000 were scientific researchers.
