A Rosary of Rubies: The Chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen Tradition from South-Western Tibet
No full textThe mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school represents a little known Buddhist tradition from Mang-yul Gung-thang in south-western Tibet. It goes back to a Buddhist yogin known as Ma-bdun-pa or Ma-bdun ras-chen (12th/13th c.) and was later mainly spread by members of the Gur family. Although belonging to the “Upper ’Brug” (stod ’brug) branch of the ’Brug-pa bKa’-brgyud-pa school, the mDo-chen tradition has always been deeply infused with the “spoken teachings” (bka’ ma) and “treasure teachings” (gter ma) of the rNying-ma-pa school, and the cult of the “Seven Ma-mo Sisters” (ma mo mched bdun) was particularly practised and transmitted by its members. This book presents a critical edition, an annotated translation and a photographic reproduction of a manuscript copy of a rare chronicle of the Gur-rigs mDo-chen tradition written by Brag-dkar rta-so sPrul-sku Chos-kyi dbang-phyug (1775–1837). The text provides us with an overview of the tradition’s development mainly through biographical accounts but also through prophecies, prayers and praises for individual masters. The study concludes with two appendices based on the mDo chen bka’ brgyud gser ’phreng, a lineage history composed in the 15th century, and the “records of teachings received” (thob yig) of three important members of the Gur family, thus allowing us to gain an insight into the transmissions of the mDo-chen bKa’-brgyud-pa school and the interactions of its representatives with other important Buddhist teachers up to the 18th century. The present work is a further outcome of the author’s investigations into the cultural and religious traditions of south-western Tibet and the neighbouring Himalayan valleys

Schistura altuscauda Chen & Myint & Chu & Chen 2020, sp. nov.
No full textSchistura altuscauda sp. nov. (Fig. 10) Holotype. KIZ 2018002400, 64.8 mm SL. Myanmar: Chin State: Mindat Town: Htin stream, 22°21’31”N, 94°4’28”E, 441 m elevation, Paing Zaw, Nay Htet Naing, 27 March 2018. Paratypes. KIZ 2018002401–2403, SEABRI 20181223, 26–30, 20181234, 48.4–73.0 mm SL; 10 specimens; same data as holotype. Diagnosis. Schistura altuscauda sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other species in the area by a combination of the following characters: high caudal peduncle (14.0–20.3% SL), strong processus dentiformis on upper jaw; 7–19 bars on flank of body, bars in front of dorsal fin obviously thinner than those behind, sometimes fused in front of dorsal fin; lateral line complete; males with prominent suborbital flap; and pelvic lobe present. Description. General appearance and morphometric data of holotype and paratypes are shown in Fig. 10 and Table 2, respectively. Body moderately thick, slightly increasing from nape to dorsal fins, gradually decreasing from dorsal-fin base to caudal-fin base. In lateral view, head short, eyes large, small concavity between head and body. Head with swollen cheeks, snout round, nasal valve triangular in dorsal and lateral view. Caudal peduncle depth 1.1–2.3 times its length. Developed axillary pelvic lobe. Largest known size 73.0 mm. Dorsal fin with 3 simple and 7½–8½ branched rays, distal margin slightly concave, origin anterior to pelvic-fin origin. Pectoral fin with 1 unbranched and 9–10 branched rays, reaching half distance to base of pelvic fin. Pelvic fin with 1 unbranched and 6–7 branched rays, origin between first and second branched dorsal rays, not reaching anus, which lies approximately 1.5 eye diameter in front of anal-fin origin. Anal fin with 3 simple and 5½ branched rays, not reaching caudal-fin base. Caudal fin lunate, with 9+8 branched rays. Body almost completely covered by scales, except on thorax and abdomen. Lateral line complete, 85–92 pores. Cephalic lateral line system with 8 supraorbital, 4+10 infraorbital, 10 preoperculo-mandibular, and 3 supratemporal pores. Anterior nostril pierced on anterior side of pointed flap-like tube, forming tip and low anterior rim. Mouth shallowly arched (Fig. 11). Upper lip with small incision, 11–12 deep furrows on each side. Lower lip with median interruption, 3–4 deep furrows in median area. Processus dentiformis present, wide and strong. Lower jaw exposed, without median notch. Interior rostral barbel reaching half distance to base of maxillary barbel; exterior rostral barbel reaching mouth corner. Maxillary barbel reaching vertical of posterior margin of eye. Intestine with large loop some distance behind stomach (Fig. 12). Gill rakers 15–15 (1). Sexual dimorphism. Males possess large triangular downward suborbital flap (Fig. 13). Coloration (preserved in formalin). Ground color in preserved specimens pale yellowish gray. Head with vermicular pattern on top, snout, suborbital area, and opercle. Irregular bar pattern from nape to dorsal-fin origin. 7–19 black brown bars on body, bars in front of dorsal fin obviously thinner than those behind, sometimes fused together in front of dorsal fin and wider than interspaces. 3–4 saddles from dorsal-fin base to caudal fin-base. Bars from dorsal fin-base to caudal peduncle-base meet on other side of body. Dorsal fin hyaline, with three rows of black spots. 3 black spots at dorsal midline, located at base of first unbranched ray and branched ray, third branched ray, and 4 th– 6 th branched rays, respectively. Caudal fin hyaline, with 4 rows of black spots; in paratypes, without black spots (Fig. 14). Others fins hyaline. Distribution. Schistura altuscauda sp. nov. is presently only known from the type locality, Irrawaddy River basin in Htin stream, Mindat Town, Chin State, Myanmar (Fig. 8). Etymology. The name is from the Latin altus (= high) and cauda (= caudal), referring to the presence of a high caudal peduncle.Published as part of Chen, Meng-Fang, Myint, Khin Mar, Chu, Ling & Chen, Xiao-Yong, 2020, Two new species of loaches from the Irrawaddy River basin, Chin State, Myanmar (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae), pp. 86-102 in Zootaxa 4895 (1) on pages 95-99, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4895.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/432149
Remarks by Lung-Chu Chen
No full textThis discussion on “Expulsion and Expatriation in International Law” is very timely indeed. Today we are witnessing a new type of people “in orbit,” not astronauts but “refugees in orbit.” In a recent bulletin, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees vividly describes how a typical refugee in orbit wandered from country to country over the past half year in quest of some one country that might let him in and stay. What made the case dramatic was that during that long period the refugee was shuffled from airplane to airplane, and confined in airports. Compelled to leave the country of residence and lacking proper identity and travel documents, many people cannot disembark legally anywhere. In earlier times there was always the possibility of jumping ship. But today, under the closed national boundary system policed by more sophisticated entry and exit control, such unfortunate persons are condemned to a nightmarish cycle of enforced airplane journeys and periods of practical imDrisonment in ainrart waiting rooms.</jats:p

On the dual of a mixed H2/l1 optimisation problem
No full textThe general discrete-time Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) mixed H2/l1 control problem is considered in this paper. It is found that the existing results of duality theory cannot be directly applied to this infinite dimension optimisation problem. By means of two finite dimension approximate problems, to which duality theory can be applied, the dual of the mixed H2/l1 control problem is verified to be the limit of the duals of these two approximate problems
