N. Korea Fires Ballistic Missile, NSC Meeting Convened

South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff(JCS) says North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile at around 4:59 p.m. Sunday from Pukchang, South Pyongan Province. The JCS said the missile flew about 500 kilometers before landing in the East Sea and that it is trying to find out the type of missile and other details in cooperation with the United States. The JCS says the missile is not presumed to be an intercontinental ballistic missile(ICBM) and that, given its flight distance, the launch doesn't seem to be a failure. The missile launch comes one week after the North fired what it called a Hwasong-12 ballistic missile. It's also the second missile provocation since President Moon Jae-in was sworn in as South Korea's 19th president.

N.K. says its leader OKs deployment of new missile for action

North Korea fired the missile from the vicinity of Pukchang in the country's western province Sunday, the South Korean military said.

Prices of coal and petroleum products jumped 25.9 percent year-over-year in April, down from the previous month's 27.8 percent.

Countries that master artificial intelligence (AI) and biotechnology will outrun other countries and eventually dominate the world, said Yuval Noah Harari, the author of bestsellers "Sapiens" and "Homo Deus.""I can say that AI is likely to be the most important factor in the economic developments of the coming decades. It will change almost every industry and profession, be it transportation, healthcare, education or the military," he said. Harari said AI will eventually replace or augment human drivers, doctors, teachers and soldiers. "AI might even begin to replace human artists, as it learns how to detect and manipulate human emotions."

With lack of facilities, local governments taking lead in providing medical care

“I’m pregnant with twins, and they’re at 21 weeks now. I pushed myself too hard while we were moving a few days ago. I’m worried there might be something wrong with the twins,” said a pregnant woman surnamed Jung, 33, with worry in her voice. Jung, who was lying in bed for an ultrasound examination, had visited the “mobile maternity care vehicle” in front of the Uiryeong County Clinic in South Gyeongsang Province on May 2. As the obstetrician, Dr. Kim Yang-gyun, listened to the patient, he was checking the status of the fetuses on the screen. “Here’s one of your babies, and here’s the other. Both of them are growing big and strong. You don’t need to worry - you can go about your everyday activities,” Kim said, reassuring Jung.

Seongnam’s youth dividend: basic income, and the tail that wagged the dog

“The youth dividend didn’t change my life in a huge way. But it did help me buy tastier snacks for my dog Jackpot, which I adopted from the dog pound. I was also able to cook an egg with my ramen noodles, and when I was tired of life and in the mood for a drink, I could sometimes get a snack, too.” - an individual surnamed Kim, from Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province

“The dividend isn‘t a charitable donation - it’s redistribution. Furthermore, the dividend doesn‘t say anything about consumption. There are some people who talk about the moral hazard of the dividend. I think that’s like saying that if you give alms to a beggar, they‘ll buy booze with it. Taking the attitude of a benefactor and trying to determine the beneficiaries’ morality and future actions is just charity,” - an individual surnamed Ahn, in the Pangyo neighborhood of the Bundang District of Seongnam.

How basic income can prevent moral hazard

“A basic income doesn’t encourage moral hazard. It’s a welfare policy to prevent it. Welfare isn’t about giving things to the recipient - it’s about dividing up shared assets with local residents.”

This was the response of Hanshin University economics professor Kang Nam-hoon, chairperson of the Basic Income Korean Network, to criticisms that a youth dividend as a form of basic income policy promotes moral hazard. “The current welfare system was meant to select and guarantee a minimum standard of living for South Korean citizens,” said the 60-year-old Kang, who also heads the Innovate More Institute. In other words, it was designed to identify people earning below a certain economically defined level and supplement their incomes.

American traffic safety regulators will investigate whether Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors’ decision to recall some 1.7 million cars in the country was done properly. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a filing over the weekend that it will open a probe into the recall.

Dubbed MIRO (pronounced mairo), the robotic fish are now only display just for show, but the hope is that they might be able to perform functions like water purification and monitoring.
