East Sea Sea of Japan .. East Sea Sea of Japan" for the name of the sea surrounded by Korea, Japan and Russia .. Mer de lEst Mer du Japon » pour Ie nom de la mer entouree par la Coree, Ie Japon et la Russle LI Jin-Mieung <",IIIIJl) (Professor, Un_a lyon 3, France) Abstract A double name such as '\( %~ Vi$ ~~-aR B Tin! I East Sea Sea of Japan / Mer de lEst Mer du Japan '"' for the sea surrounded by Korea, Japan and Russia, is much more appropriate for the use oC international organizations such as the United Nations and the International Hydrographic Organization ; for the use of cartographers, geographers, officers of the Navy, sailors, scholars, and the general public, instead of « 'il ~!t B*_ / Sea of Japan / Mer du Japon ». The reason is very simple. The North~Westem Coast of the Japanese archipelago, from Honshu to Hokkaido, fonns the Eastern border of the sea surrounded by Korea, Japan and Russia, SO called .. <:ij~8I B*_ Nihonkai / Sea of Japan / Mer du Japan » throughout the world since the beginnini of the 19th century, except in Korea and with rare foreign cartoa;raphers 'and scholars. The Japanese Coast is lonver, but inhabited, from ShimonekiCHli to WakkanaHlfIi'l>, by only 5 or 6 million people. But alona with the Korean Peninsular, its Eastern Coast which constitutes the Western border of the sea in question, from Pusan ( ~ llJ) to NajinC.Iiilif!:), is inhabited by about 9 or 10 million people, nearly twice as many as the people living on the Japanese Coast. These Koreans have called. and call the sea to; %-aQ Jf(lftf Tonghae / East Sea / Mer de JEst ~ since Antiquity. They know no other name. They see the sea every day, and live there as city-dwellers, workers, fanners, fishennen, tourists. Telling them that they live on the Coast of the to; Sea of Japan » is an insult or a provocation, all the more so because the Koreans maintain a certain di stance from the Japanese because of the unfortunate past of Japanese domination of Korea 0910-1945). Traditionally the geographical name is fixed or adopted by the common use of the term by the people. The to; Sea of Japan / Mer du J8.lXln .. is a name which was given by Western navigators, explorers, cartographers, geographers, historians, at the - 62- end of the 18th century. Later, Japan and other countries adopted this name, ignoring the name used by the majority of inhabitants at the seaside, in particular the Koreans. Geographical names can be changed for different reasons. The name of the sea surrounded by Korea, Japan and Russia ought to be changed out of respect for the large majority of the people who live aJoni the coast, to a double name « %-0-. 3t!ifIl Tonghae ~~.. 8 "'1fO N;honkai / East Sea Sea of Japan / Mer de lEst Mer du Japon » instead of « Sea of Japan / Mer du Japon )10. [Projection of ancient and modem maps, western and oriental, as demonstrations'] - 63- Everywhere in the world, except Korea, the name Sea of Japan is used for the sea SUlTOUnded by Korea, Japan and Russia. In a Korean point of view, this poses many problems. Although three riverside countries must share this sea for their territorial waters, exclusive economic zones, fishing, maritime activities, leisure activities, and just far life. The name of the sea actually used is a reference to only one of the three countries. Especially for Koreans, the use of the name Sea of Japan written beside the Korean Peninsula by cartographers, geographers, historians, hydrographic department of many countries, the International Hydrographic Organization atld the western media, generates an unpleasant connotation, because it insinuates that they live on the coast of the Sea of Japan (japan Sea) or a sea which is the property of Japan, and all the more so because the Koreans are not yet ready to forget the period of colonization of their country by Japan (1910-]945). The name of Japan Sea which is written close to the Korean Peninsula on the maps produces a rejection or frustrated reaction among the Korean people. The geoaraphical name is one thing, and the relations between neighboring countries is another. In a strict perspective of human geography, the large majority of the people, nearly 10 million, who live on this seaside are Koreans. In return, only 6 million Japanese live on the other side of the sea. These Koreans ignore the name Sea of Japan. They called and call this sea the East Sea (Tonghae) from the beginning. Consequently, it is time to take in account the name used by the majority of the inhabitants living on this seaside. The historical penpective The ieKitimacy of the Koreans request is also valid in a hi storical perspective. Before we mention the different names given on ancient maps, it is necessary to define the sea in Question. We define ,it from the part which extends from the Strait of Korea to the Gulf of Tartary ; from the Strait of Korea to the western coast of the north of Hokkaido and the island of Sakhaline. The sea is about 9(M) miles (1 700 km) long, N.N.E. and S.S.W, and 600 miJes (9(M) km) wide, east and west, at its broadest part. Our definition of the sea in this study is different from that of IHO adopted in HYlJ.[1] The name Sea of Japan is due neither ta Japanese nor to Asians. In Asia, seas were traditionally not given names. It was just called the sea (hli in Chinese, pada in Korean, urni in Japanese). If it was located eastwards, it was called the east sea, and if it was located westwards, it was called the west sea. This is the reason why there are - 64- ~0' -- hardly any names for seas on ancient Asiatic maps. On the Map of Korea inserted in the maps of the Empire of China (~jI{~.III, ffwangyu Quanlan-tu) completed in 1717, only the Sino-Korean character hoi (sea) can be read.[2] :, The name of the sea, in this case the Sea of Japan which has been universally used except in Korea since the beginning of the 19th century for the sea surrounded by Korea, Japan and Russia, was given by Western explorers, mariners, geographers. cartographers and historians. Before then, everyone had given a name of his own to this sea, a name as geographical landmark. The Korean name Toni"hae ( }tOf~, East Sea) appecired for the first time on the Korean General Map of Eight Provinces (Paldo chongdo), enclosure of a geographical document titled Shinjung Tangguk Yoji SUIlgnaTn UJitttJtHII!IIt:l$I*IJt) compiled by So Ko-l ong whose first manuscript was achieved in 1481. A part of these maps, among which the Pa/do clwngdo, passed on to us, dates from 1530. On this map, the name Tonghae (East Sea) is written on the part of land near the eastern coast of the KangwOn province.[3] In the 17th century, Western geographers and cartographers gave various types of name to the sea surrounded by Korea, Japan and Russia. At that time, geographical knowledge remained Quite inaccurate. The Korean Peninsula was still drawn as an island and the counter-line of Hokkaido, Sakhaline and Kuriles Islands was vague. In this period of uncertainty, the name of • Sea of Japan )0 would have been used for the first time by the famous Italian Jesuit missionary in China, Matteo Ricci, in 1602 on his Map of the World (i$JlU-';ill iitlll, 179 x 414 cm). The name Sea of Korea seems to have been used for the first time in the West, by Gordinho de Heredia. a Portuguese geographer in 1615 on his map of Asia.(4) Since that period, many names were used for this sea in North-East Asia (5] I) Mer de co,~ (Sea of Korea) or Ochul OrlmJ41 (Oriental Oun) Me, de CM6t (Sea of Komi) by Gordinho de Heredia in 1615 and 1622, by Sir Robert Dudley in 1661, Mer de Cort!t!

    May 2019 May Newsletter Church of the Good Shepherd Important Safety Update Hospitality and Safety are top priorities for us at The Good Shepherd. Unfortunately, we live in a dangerous world where indiscriminate violence is perpetrated against the unsuspecting innocent. While we welcome all people without judgment, we must also be aware that there are people who would take advantage of our openness to do us harm. We are a downtown church with a very open campus. We must remain vigilant and aware of our surroundings at all times, while maintaining God’s gift of hospitality. Please pay close attention to your surroundings, your belongings, and most importantly your children. Our children should never be left unattended while at church and should never go to the restroom alone. Over this past year we have made the following significant security improvements to our campus. 1) We have increased our security presence with a regular off-duty uniformed Corpus Christi Police officer on Sunday mornings, and other times during the week. 2) We have radios located in the chapel, the nursery, and with the Vestry person of the day, for communication with our police officer on Sunday. 3) We have electronic defibrillators and fire extinguishers mounted in Munds Hall and the Narthex of the Church. 4) The Safety Committee has been meeting with Ushers, Greeters, Vestry and Staff, on plans, procedures, and improvements that will help us to be better prepared for a variety of emergencies. Additionally, the Vestry has approved the installation of new hardware on all of our Sanctuary doors for the purpose of emergency exit functionality.

And, what a glorious morning this is. I love you! And I love what it feels like when we gather together as sisters under the direction of the Lord. I love BYU Women’s Conference. The two years I served as conference chair embedded this conference in my heart forever. Now I know it’s spring, but to me it feels just like Christmas. Being here with you today is every bit as wonderful as opening gifts on Christmas morning! When we really think about it, our covenants are a gift—a gift from God designed to get us safely back home to Him. And what a gift that is! My dear sisters, despite any anguishing life situation we may presently be in, it can feel like Christmas every day if we truly receive the gift of our covenants every day. Clearly, Nephi had deep, joy-filled feelings about the gift of our covenants. His words are the theme for this year’s conference: “My soul delighteth in the covenants of the Lord.”1 My sisters, I pray that the Holy Ghost will be the True Teacher as we consider the gift of our covenants with the Lord.

Accessible resources pub- lished in English and other languages besides Korean are particularly necessary in these times of increasing instability in the North Korean regime and foreseeable cases of asylum seekers. Speech samples are discussed to illustrate the relative difficulty of distinguishing between North Korean and Korean-Chinese speakers, compared to distinguishing between North Korean and South Korean speakers. Based on an over- view of previous literature, some guidelines are developed for identifying some dis- tinguishing characteristics of these speech communities. Continuing dialectological research with refugees and field research making direct comparisons between these communities are necessary for further and up-to-date insight.1 Key words: North Korea, Korean-Chinese, Korean dialects, asylum, LADO 북-중 국경지역 한국어 방언 실태 1 Note on Romanization: In this paper, the Revised Romanization of Korean with assimilation is adopted for ease of reading.

    North Main Street Reconfiguration Results from Resident and Business Public Opinion Surveys Southern Oregon University Research Center (SOURCE) November 13, 2013 Eva Skuratowicz, Ph.D. Karen Miller-Loessi, Ph.D. Dru Smith Southern Oregon University Research Center North Main Street Configuration Results from Resident and Business Public Opinion Surveys Executive Summary This document reports the results of a stratified random sample public opinion survey commissioned by the City of Ashland and conducted by the Southern Oregon University Research Center (SOURCE) in fall 2013. In 2012, the area on North Main Street from Bush Street to the railroad overpass was reconfigured from four lanes of traffic to two lanes of traffic with bicycle lanes and a center left turning lane. This was a pilot project and the City of Ashland commissioned the public opinion survey of Ashland residents and businesses so that the results could be used to aid in the decision of whether to retain the lane changes or return to the four- lane configuration. To assess resident opinions, a two-page mail-in survey questionnaire was sent to random samples of a total of 1000 Ashland residents, residing in three key geographical areas: within a few blocks of the reconfigured road section, near but not in that area, and all other Ashland areas. Overall, 552 surveys were returned, for a resident response rate of 55%. To assess the local businesses, a brief phone interview was conducted, using a list of 50 local organizations that are either in the general vicinity of the N. Main Street corridor or are major employers in Ashland.

Weaver) ABSTRACT This dissertation is an exploration into the lived experiences and interconnectedness of World War II prisoners of war (POWs). It is driven by the personal accounts of four men who experienced life on the wrong side of the barbed wire: my father, the late William Austin Burgess, formerly of Hinesville, Georgia; C. Neill Baylor, of Vidalia, Georgia; Herman Cranman, of Savannah, Georgia; and Robert Waldrop, of Beaufort, South Carolina. The impetus for this exploration began with the stories I received as a child when my father would share his wartime military experiences with me and continues with the learning of pre-war, wartime, and post-war experiences.
