RESOURCE> DDB/CJKV-E update report, September 2019

by A. Charles Muller
Dear Colleagues,

This month marks a major transition for the DDB/CJKV-E project. As was announced early in September, our main technical support person for almost two decades—Michael Beddow—recently passed away. We will miss him dearly.

But I am happy to report that we have been fortunate to be able to replace Michael with one of the most capable persons in our field for this vitally important task. This is Paul Hackett, whose combination of IT skills and mastery of Buddhist systems of thought, canons, lexicography, and so forth, is matched only by a very small handful of colleagues. We are greatly relieved to have been able to bring in to our team a new member of such abilities, and we look forward to working with him for some time to come. Paul is presently working out the kinks of an alternative/backup site for the dictionaries, which we expect to be able to announce shortly.

As usual, I've uploaded the list of new DDB and CJKV-E entries for September 2019. We have 63 new entries for the DDB (Total: 73,286) and 17 for the CJKV-E (Total: 60,929)

If you have any comments on this month's entries, please do let me know. This month's report file is at: http://www.buddhism-dict.net/ddb/monthlies/ddbcjkveMonthly2019-09.html

Regards,

Chuck

NO END IN SIGHT AS HONG KONG'S PROTESTERS DIG IN

We are watching history being made in Hong Kong,
 where the situation appears to be approaching
a critical moment. What will happen after the 
People's Republic of China marks its 70th anniversary 
in October? An optimistic scenario is a continuation 
of the status quo: demonstrations will go on without
 being crushed by force.

Kurt Tong, a former U.S. consul general in 
the "new normal." But some are bracing for a
 bloody collision just like we witnessed in 
Tiananmen Square 30 years ago.

We may not know what future historians
 will call this democracy movement, but our
 cover image captures its current essence: 
two black-clad protesters wearing masks to
 protect against tear gas. These brave figures
 are worthy candidates for People of the Year. 
The world will remember this iconic image, 
captured in an era in which authorities can 
pick out individuals from a crowd through
 facial-recognition technology.

For our "Company in focus" feature this week,
 we look at Japanese food group Ajinomoto. 
The story describes the company's 
multimillion-dollar fight to end the widespread negative attitudes toward the flavor enhancer MSG, 
or monosodium glutamate. It is likely a useful 
read for corporate managers who deal with 
reputational risks.

We also bring you excellent stories on Chinese 
startups. Shouqi Limousine & Chauffeur,
 to Uber Technologies. According to the report, 
two fatal accidents triggered a decline in Didi's overwhelming market share. Meanwhile, ByteDance, 
 known for its TikTok video-sharing app, is 
chasing after Baidu -- China's Google -- in the 
search engine market. Even the prosperous 
must inevitably decay, indeed.
