    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone.

  • Genetic Analysis of Major Carcass Traits of Korean Hanwoo Males Raised for Thirty Months
    animals Article Genetic Analysis of Major Carcass Traits of Korean Hanwoo Males Raised for Thirty Months Mahboob Alam 1, Soo Hyun Lee 1 , Do Hyun Lee 1, Chungil Cho 2 and Mi Na Park 1,* 1 Animal Breeding and Genetics Division, National Institute of Animal Science, Cheonan-si 31000, Korea; [email protected] (M.A.); [email protected] (S.H.L.); [email protected] (D.H.L.) 2 Hanwoo Genetic Improvement Center, NongHyup Agribusiness Group Inc., Seosan-si 31948, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-580-3355 Simple Summary: Generally, Korean Hanwoo males produced under a 24-month production cycle (PROD24) are evaluated as a part of the progeny test program. However, there is little information on other males outside the PROD24, such as those raised under a 30-month production cycle (PROD30) for higher profits. Therefore, we investigated PROD30 males for important carcass traits (carcass weight, eye muscle area, backfat thickness, and marbling score) using a reasonably large dataset to understand their genetic merit. To do so, we estimated the genetic parameters of traits using animal model. Our analysis revealed moderate to high heritability values for the studied traits. The marbling score was found to be highly heritable at 0.56. The genetic correlation between traits was mostly moderate to low, and the backfat thickness was poorly correlated with the marbling score. These results are consistent with many previous reports on PROD24. Our study suggests that PROD30 and PROD24 males might have somewhat similar genetic potential, as well as similar genetic backgrounds. Thus, it could be concluded that there is further scope for PROD30 males to improve Hanwoo males’ overall prediction accuracy, especially under a genomic selection program, together with PROD24 males.

  • 2017/2018 Page 1 Letterdolorum from Jonathan IPSUM Farrington, Executive Director Yosemite Mariposa County Tourism Bureau
    DOLORUM IPSUM Marketing Plan & Annual Report Recap Fiscal year 2017/2018 Page 1 LetterDOLORUM from Jonathan IPSUM Farrington, Executive Director Yosemite Mariposa County Tourism Bureau Dear Yosemite Mariposa County Tourism Partners, It’s an honor to return to Mariposa County, this time as a resident and the new Executive Director of the Yosemite Mariposa County Tourism Bureau (YMCTB). First, I would like to acknowledge Terry Selk for the excellent job he and his team did leading the tourism marketing and outreach over the past six years. Terry’s strength and reputation in the International Tourism Markets is widely acknowledged, and we plan to continue a rela- tionship with Terry into the future. Promoting Mariposa County and Yosemite in several roles over the past 20 years provides me with a unique view of tourism in our region today. We will continue to drive efforts both domestically and internationally, carrying on the efforts of our past Tourism Bureau leader- ship. What’s old, sometimes becomes new again in marketing. Our new opportunity, is once again our own California drive market. Over the coming year, marketing focus will return to Californians. Californians typically avoid peak season travel to Yosemite. Larger Boomer segments of the California population are retiring, and have the income to travel mid-week, off-season and enjoy repeat visits to our area. Families are primary visitors on weekends, and parents today are more mature and affluent than ever before. Yosemite is a natural, safe environment, and high on the list of places parents want to visit with children to “unplug”.

  • Missiles Fire and Fury
    US-KOREA RELATIONS MISSILES FIRE AND FURY STEPHEN NOERPER, KOREA SOCIETY AND COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Tensions rose to new levels on the Korean Peninsula as North Korea fired multiple missiles demonstrating markedly enhanced capabilities and crowned the Labor Day weekend with a sixth nuclear test with a significantly larger yield than previous tests. The United States tackled its most significant global security challenge by reinforcing its deterrent capabilities, tightening the financial noose on the North, President Trump tweeting stern warnings, and military and diplomatic leaders calling for dialogue. South Korea responded by reiterating its military readiness, expanding its own missile capabilities, and reeling from Trump’s rhetoric that likened President Moon Jae-in’s push for talks to “appeasement” and his threat to scrap the KORUS trade agreement. Despite joint military exercises, live fire drills, B-1 dispatches, and shared statements condemning Pyongyang to signal alliance strength, the relationship between the United States and South Korea appears frayed in dramatic new ways. This article is extracted from Comparative Connections: A Triannual E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations, Vol. 19, No. 2, September 2017. pp 35-42 US-KOREA RELATIONS | SEPTEMBER 2017 35 No more maybes free trade agreement (FTA) were a slap in the face of the new Seoul administration. South In 11 years, North Korea has developed Korean President Moon Jae-in met Trump on dangerous nuclear and delivery capabilities. The June 30, and the Washington summit seemed to premier national security concern conveyed go well. South Korea put great preparation into from the Obama to Trump administration has the meeting and looked to Trump’s meetings seen fruition with the July 4 and July 28 with Japan’s Prime Minister Abe Shinzo and Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) China’s President Xi Jinping for lessons learned.
