Greetings!
"Murder the Koreans!" "Smash the Korean cockroaches!" Matthew Penney chronicles the extremist Zaitokukai's poisonous demonstrations against Koreans in Japan. More important, perhaps, is the beginning of efforts to challenge their views by citizens appalled by the racist campaign. See his "Racists Go Home!", "Go Crawl Back to the Net!" - Anti-Racism Protestors Confront the Zaitokukai. Paul Jobin and Sumi Hasegawa discuss An appeal for improving labour conditions of Fukushima Daiichi workers. All new articles are now available on Kindle, as are several recent articles.

Book on Role of Translation in Nation Building
Book on Role of Translation in Nation Building launched
It talks about how translators have always played a pivotal role in social and cultural change in
society and how they continue to play a major role in dissemination of the ever expanding
knowledge and information available today. In this globalized world the demand for translation
and language related services has increased many times and that translation is not only
needed for the creation of national identity but it has also become an essential tool for keeping
pace with the processes of globalization and localization. Many times we take for granted the
translator's crucial role at the (intra) national level and we are less aware of their equally pivotal
place as mediators at the international level and, potentially, in the creation of the even larger
and comprehensive global supra national identities which seem destined to follow in the future.
The book contains well researched papers written by 16 scholars coming from various parts of
the world. These scholars have focused on thought “how translation has played crucial role in
shaping up nations not only in Indian/Asian context but also in the context of Europe, Canada,
Africa, Australia and Arab world”.

The Epic of Gesar
Shambhala Publications is pleased to announce the release of the The
Epic of Gesar. This large volume consists of the first three volumes
of the Epic: Gesar's Magical Birth, Early Years, and Coronation as
King.
This translation began with the late Robin Kornman and was completed
by Sangye Khandro and Lama Chonam. A video of the latter two
discussing it, can be found here: https://vimeo.com/64089749.
Tibet's great national literary treasure, the epic of Gesar, is the
equivalent of the Iliad or the Odyssey in the West. It arose out of a
comparable oral tradition, beginning in the eleventh century, and is
now considered the longest single work in the world literary
canon. King Gesar's exploits are full of magic and high adventure, and
are also models of Buddhist teaching: Gesar came to be widely regarded
as an embodiment of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara or of
Padmasambhava, the figure who brought Buddhism to Tibet. His bravery
and heroism demonstrate how the best human qualities, such as loyalty,
compassion, and virtue, ultimately triumph over evil, deception, and
self-interest. This long-awaited translation of the first three
volumes of the vast work is a landmark in the transmission of Tibetan
Buddhist culture to the West.
From the foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama:
"The Gesar story is one of the Tibetan people's most popular epics,
its stories being enacted and sung at festivals and on important
ceremonial occasions. By making the epic of Gesar available in
English, the translators are offering the modern reader a chance to
experience the particular character of this Tibetan tradition that has
brought hope and fortitude to many generations across the
Tibetan-speaking world."
There is a discount of 30% for those on this list who use the code
GESAR813 when purchasing it from Shambhala.com (http://bit.ly/11vGEmC)
where it is available exclusively until July when it will be available
through all the normal outlets.

China subió su generación de energía eólica un 41% en 2012
China generó 100.800 millones de kilovatios/hora de electricidad eólica en 2012, lo que supone un aumento del 41 por ciento con respecto a 2011, informó la Administración Nacional de Energía.
Esta cantidad representa aproximadamente el dos por ciento de la electricidad total del país transmitida a través de la red estatal, de acuerdo con un comunicado publicado el martes en la página web de la institución, en que se especifica que las cifras están basadas en estadísticas del centro nacional de administración de información de energía eólica.
Hasta finales de 2012, se habían conectado a la red estatal 62,66 millones de kilovatios de capacidad instalada en el sector de la energía eólica, un aumento del 31 por ciento interanual.
La cantidad de energía eólica generada en 2012 ahorró 32,86 millones de toneladas de carbón, 167 millones de toneladas de agua y 84,34 millones de toneladas de dióxido de carbono, según el comunicado.

LECTURE> Talks on Japanese Religions at Harvard this Friday (19th)
For anyone in the Boston area this Friday, please consider attending
the
following two events at Harvard.
1) Jason Josephson will be presenting on his exciting new book - The
Invention of Religion in Japan (Chicago, 2012). Details of this event are
posted at:
http://www.harvard.com/event/jason_nanda_josephson/.
2) I will be presenting the following talk:
“Thick Conversations: Toward a Dialogical Theory of Japanese Buddhism”
Based on 14 months of interviews with 226 Buddhist priests of every stripe
from all over Japan, this talk presents a series of dialogs about
contemporary temple realities. Rather than provide ethnographic cover for
over-determined notions of “Japanese Buddhism”, I want to explore
particular, localized negotiations of various teachings, customs, and
personalities. This is a search for the “ordinary” priest. It is as much a
study of doubt and discomfort as of faith and certainty.
Friday, April 19 from 4:15-5:45 p.m. in the Porte Room (S250), Second
Level, CGIS South Building, 1730 Cambridge Street

Māori roll or general roll? It’s your choice. He aha ō whakāro

Māori roll or general roll? It’s your choice. He aha ō whakāro.
The Māori Electoral Option gives New Zealanders of Māori descent the opportunity to choose whether they want to be on the Māori Electoral Roll or the General Electoral Roll when they vote in the next two General Elections.
The next Māori Electoral Option will take place from 25 March to 24 July 2013. It only happens once every five years or so, just after the New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings.
It’s an important choice, as it determines who will represent you in Parliament. If you’re on the General Electoral Roll, you will vote for an MP in a General Electorate at the next General Election. If you’re on the Māori Electoral Roll, you will vote for an MP in a Māori Electorate at the next General Election. Every voter, regardless of which electoral roll they are on or where they live in the country, has the same list of political parties to choose from when using their Party Vote.
The results of the Māori Electoral Option together with the results of the 2013 Census are used to determine the number of Māori and General Electorates in Parliament and to revise electorate boundaries.
If you’re enrolled to vote, and you said you were of New Zealand Māori descent when you enrolled, you will get your personalised Māori Electoral Option pack in the mail in the week starting 25 March 2013. It will give you all the information you need to make your choice and an enrolment form.
New Zealanders who have registered an overseas mailing address with the Electoral Commission will receive their personalised Māori Electoral Option pack at their overseas address.
Once you have made your choice and returned your form, you will not be able to change roll types again until the next Māori Electoral Option. Under current electoral legislation, people already enrolled can only change the type of electoral roll they are on during a Māori Electoral Option. You will not be able to change roll types again until the next Māori Electoral Option.
If you are of New Zealand Māori descent but didn’t say so when you first enrolled, you can still take part. And if you’re not yet enrolled, do it now!
Enrolling is easy
go online at www.elections.org.nz; or
call +64 4 801 0700; or
collect an enrolment form from your nearest overseas Embassy or Consulate.
More information about the Māori Electoral Option is available on www.elections.org.nz.

Lecture: "Korea’s Jōdōshinshū: Lay Monk Villages in Colonial Korea (1910-1945)"
by Hwansoo Kim (Duke University)
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The USC Center for Japanese Religions and Culture is pleased to present
a lecture by Professor Hwansoo Kim, Duke University on Thursday, April
25, 2013. Please be so kind as to forward this announcement to any
students or colleagues who you feel may be interested in joining us.
Thank you!
Thursday, April 25, 2013
5:00 PM to 6:30 PM
East Asian Seminar Room (110C), Doheny Memorial Library, USC
Korea’s Jōdōshinshū: Lay Monk Villages in Colonial Korea (1910-1945)
- CJRC Lecture Series -
ABSTRACT
A newspaper editorial from 1930s colonial Korea characterized the
isolated villages of married Buddhist monks spread across the northern
border between Korea and China as “the mystery of the century”. These
lay monk villages (K. jaega-seung burak or Jp. zaikeso) existed from the
seventeenth century until the 1960s. The males in these villages shaved
their heads and had wives and children, and they ranged in number from
thousands to tens of thousands at their peak. These lay monks and their
families comprised the descendents of the Jurchens, an ethnic group from
northern China who migrated to Korea and later mixed with Koreans.
In this presentation, based on previous scholarship and on untapped
primary sources, he would like to take up two questions. First, how did
these villagers come to take on a monastic identity (or, at minimum, the
appellation)? Second, how should we understand the history of these
communities within the context of Korean Buddhism? While scholars
conventionally understanding the origin of this monastic identity as
coincidental and unauthentic, he argues that Korean monks fleeing or
relocating as a result of Choson Korea’s anti-Buddhist policies perhaps
contributed to the formation of a monastic identity of the males in
these villages. Finally, he will address how the Neo-Confucian Choson
dynasty, imperial Japan, and North Korean authorities politicized these
communities for their own purposes. These lay monk communities were an
unusual manifestation of Korean Buddhism and as such force us to
consider what, and who, defines Korean Buddhism and monastic.

China media: Views on North Korea
The media in China has touched on various topics - including North Korea's warning to foreigners to evacuate, bird flu, milk powder and the German band Kraftwerk.
Experts differ on whether North Korea's recent warnings to foreigners and foreign organisations to evacuate the peninsula is a bluff aimed at strengthening its bargaining position with the international community.
In Global Times, Zhang Liangui, a North Korea expert at the Communist Party's Central Party School, foresees a "70- 80% likelihood of war breaking out on the Korean Peninsula", and believes that North Korea's aim is reunification with the South by armed force.
Cai Jian, deputy director of the Centre for Korean Studies at Shanghai's Fudan University, disagrees and tells Global Times that a large-scale military conflict is unlikely to break out because North Korea's threats are largely just psychological warfare against the US and South Korea.
Pang Zhongying, a professor of international relations at Beijing's Renmin University, says North Korea is becoming "a headache" and is no longer heeding Beijing's concerns. He indicates to South China Morning Post that China and the US may co-operate to contain Pyongyang.
Some media and scholars are rebuking North Korea for escalating tensions, but also blame the US, Japan and South Korea for increasing Pyongyang's sense of insecurity with military manoeuvres.
Commentator Hua Yiwen in the overseas edition of People's Daily calls on the US not to "add fuel to the fire", calls on South Korea to cool down tensions rather than "dancing with the US". Likewise it calls on Japan to not "exploit" the crisis for its own ends.
Ta Kung Pao, a Beijing-backed Hong Kong newspaper, foresees a "military conflict ready to break out at any moment" from more missile and nuclear tests by North Korea, and also puts the blame on the US, Japan and South Korea.
It says that the US "return to Asia" has broken a fragile regional balance.
"Some of the partners of the US are dancing along with it as though they have taken stimulants, turning the Western Pacific into a mess," the newspaper says.
In other international news, Xinhua and China Daily highlight calls by Chinese and US officials and experts for more cyber-security co-operation and less "blame or accusations without evidence" of state-sponsored hacker attacks, during the US-China Internet Industry Forum in Beijing.
The reports do not mention US Under Secretary of State Robert Hormats, US Ambassador to China Gary Locke and US business figures pressing Beijing on hacker attacks that they say undermine relations with the US.

La India prueba con éxito el Agni II, un misil de medio alcance y con capacidad nuclear
La India ha probado con éxito el misil balístico tierra-tierra Agni II, con capacidad nuclear y un alcance de más de 2.000 kilómetros, según han informado fuentes oficiales.
La prueba tuvo lugar en las instalaciones que la Organización para del Desarrollo e Investigación de la Defensa (DRDO) tiene en la isla de Wheeler, en el estado de Odhisa, en el este del país, y escenario frecuente de este tipo de ensayos.
"El lanzamiento fue exitoso. Se cumplieron todos los objetivos", manifestó un alto cargo del DRDO, MVKV Prasad, a la agencia local PTI.
El Agni II es un misil de medio alcance de 16 toneladas de peso y capacidad para transportar 1.000 kilos de carga, y ya forma parte del arsenal de las Fuerzas Armadas de la India.
El misil consta de dos fases y puede ser lanzado desde plataformas de lanzamiento ferroviarias o de carreteras, con un tiempo de puesta a punto de quince minutos.
La India mantiene desde su independencia una carrera armamentística con la vecina Pakistán, que posee armas nucleares, pero en los últimos años se ha centrado en el desarrollo de un poder disuasorio frente a China, país con el que mantiene disputas fronterizas.
Así, ha desarrollado el balístico tierra-tierra Agni III, con capacidad nuclear y un alcance de 3.000 kilómetros y el misil tierra-tierra Agni IV, con un alcance cercano a los 4.000 kilómetros y también con capacidad nuclear.
Además, la India ha probado con éxito el Agni V, con un alcance estimado en los 5.000 kilómetros, y está desarrollando el Agni VI, un misil de largo alcance con capacidad nuclear y que podría portar numerosas ojivas para efectuar ataques múltiples.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel speaks at the National Defense University at Fort McNair in
Washington on Wednesda
by USA TODAY
WASHINGTON (AP) - A senior U.S. defense official says the Pentagon has delayed an
intercontinental ballistic missile test for next week at an Air Force base in California amid
mounting tensions with North Korea.
The official says Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel delayed the long-planned Minuteman 3 test
because of concerns the launch could be misinterpreted and exacerbate the current crisis.
The official was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity to the Associated
Press.
North Korea's military has warned that it was authorized to attack the U.S. using "smaller,
lighter and diversified" nuclear weaponsSouth Korean officials say the North moved at least one missile with "considerable range" to its east coast, suggesting a launch could be imminent.
U.S. and South Korean annual military exercises have been ongoing, with warships and bombers in the region.

India's Trade with Argentina increased marginally in 2012
The marginal increase is not at all bad given the fact that Argentina's global trade had decreased to 151.3 billion dollars in 2012 from 161.6 billion in 2011. Their imports reduced to 60.5 billion in 2012 from 64.6 bn in 2011. Their exports declined to 90.8 bn in 2012 from 97 bn in 2011.
The reduction in imports is mainly due to the stringent Argentine government restrictions on imports and foreign exchange. Importers are generally required to export an equivalent amount of what they import.The Import license and foreign exchange for imports are complicated/ delayed/denied arbitrarily by the authorities in a non-transparent manner. The government has taken recourse to these measures because of inadequate foreign exchange reserves to pay for imports and service the debts. The government is also doing this as part of their ideology to control the economy and business more and more.
This policy is likely to continue in 2013-14 ( till the next Presidential elections) too with minor variations.
Argentina's exports were down in 2012 due to the slow down of the economies of Brasil, China, and Europe. Exports to China had decreased by23% in 2012 from 2011.
India's trade with Argentina increased by 2.2% to 1837 million dollars in 2012 from 1774 million in 2011.
India's exports in 2012 were 573 million dollars as against 561 m in 2011. India's imports in 2012 were 1264 m while they were 1213 m in 2011.
India ranked 18th in both exports and imports in 2012 among the global trade partners of Argentina.
India's major exports in 2012 were: organic chemicals- 154 million dollars ( 27% of total exports), sound and image devices - 91 million dollars ( 16%), vehicles and parts-64 million, yarn and fabrics-45 m, garments-21 m, dyestuff- 17 m..
India's main imports in 2012 were: edible oil ( mostly soy oil)- 1111 million dollars ( 88%), minerals- 30 m, leather- 29 m, cotton- 10 m
Argentina is the main source of soy oil imports of India. The annual imports are around one billion dollars in recent years except in 2010 when it went up to 2 billion. The soy oil imports from Argentina fluctuates depending upon the international palm oil prices. However, given the ever-growing deficit of India in edible oil production, India's imports of soy oil from Argentina will increase in the long term.
Argentina, which is the third largest market of Latin America after Brasil and Mexico, used to be the third largest destination for India's exports in the past. Not any longer.. It has slipped to the sixth position in 2012. Colombia has replaced Argentina in the third rank while Peru and Chile have assumed fourth and fifth rankings.
Despite the current Argentine restrictions on imports, there is lot of scope to increase India's exports in the long term. Most of the macroeconomic fundamentals of the Argentine market are relatively strong and the economy is set on a course of sustainable growth. The Indian exporters need to keep this positive long term perspective and work harder....

La nueva generación de graduados chinos está en marcha
El Gobierno del gigante asiático quiere tener 195 millones de graduados chinos para 2020, lo que supone 75 millones más que Estados Unidos y que cualquier otro país, según publica The New York Times.
En China hay muchos jóvenes brillantes con grandes aspiraciones que serán una fuerte competencia para Occidente en las próximas décadas. Alguien que ha podido comprobar esto más de cerca es Iker Belsaguy, estudiante de economía de la Universidad Veracruzana (México), que en 2010, a los 18 años, fue aceptado en el primer grupo de estudiantes de intercambio con Beijing International Studies University.
Belsaguy declara a Globalasia.com que “la vida de los estudiantes chinos está llena de ocupaciones y nuevos panoramas que chocan con las tradiciones familiares y el mundo laboral de hoy. Los jóvenes deben tener una pareja antes de los 30 e ingresos estables para formar una familia. Belsaguy cuenta que la competencia académica y profesional es elevada y destacada que “por temporadas las aulas de clase permanecen repletas de diligentes estudiantes a las 02:00 de la madrugada; aulas sin profesores pero con alumnos que se esfuerzan al máximo para obtener las mejores puntuaciones”.
La apuesta por los graduados chinos
China invierte 250.000 millones de dólares (195.000 millones de euros) al año en lo que los economistas llaman “capital humano”, cita la misma fuente consultada. El gigante asiático quiere empujar aún más su curva de crecimiento a través de una ampliación de su base educativa, haciendo que se asemeje más a la multifacética fuerza laboral de Estados Unidos.
La mayoría de las iniciativas dependen de que el autoritario sistema político chino pueda crear un sistema educativo que fomente la creatividad y un espíritu innovador a nivel internacional, lo que se traduce en una fuerza de trabajo mejor formada que haga que China sea el gran rival de Occidente.
China, gran rival de Occidente
Los universitarios de todo el mundo compiten por empleos similares, y el boom de la educación superior en China empieza a poner presión en las ofertas de trabajo de todas partes.
Belsaguy cuenta que cada año, a diferencia de su experiencia en México, representantes de empresas chinas llegan a las universidades con ofertas de trabajo, logrando apreciar un ambiente de oferta y demanda laboral prometedor. “El crecimiento económico y el desarrollo generalizado de China ha generado en los últimos años una acelerada adición de universidades y empresas acercándose a este país de Asia con el objetivo de generar intercambio académico y cultural en un corto plazo con una visión emprendedora en negocios”.
Tenemos que estar preparados, ya que como comenta Belsaguy, los universitarios de China, llenos de habilidades y destrezas que van cultivando desde pequeños “nos dejan a los universitarios de Occidente un panorama nuevo y grandes desafíos para el porvenir”.
La única pregunta que se les plantea a las universidades chinas es si pueden cultivar la innovación a gran escala para competir con los norteamericanos en mercados como el hardware de multimedia y el software de aplicaciones. De momento, el proceso de innovación del gigante asiático sigue siendo uno de sus grandes retos.

Why Japan Dominates Leadership of Asian Development Bank
China has refrained from competing for president position, but experts say it should reconsider
Beijing) – The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been important to Japan the way the World Bank has been to the United States and the International Monetary Fund to the European Union. Since its establishment in 1966, all eight presidents of the ADB have been from Japan and seven of them served at the country's Finance Ministry.
The monopoly looks set to continue, with Takehiko Nakao, Japan's vice finance minister, on course to succeed former president Haruhiko Kuroda, who resigned to become central bank governor in March. The 57-year-old still needs to go through voting by 67 member states of the ADB by April 24, but he is the only candidate for the job.
One seemingly odd twist in the run-up to the election, however, was that China, the third largest shareholder in the bank – and a country that surpassed Japan as the world's second largest economy in 2010 – forfeited its chance to come up with a nominee.
Xie Xuren, who stepped down as China's finance minister in March to chair the National Social Security Fund, has clearly opposed the idea of sending a Chinese candidate to run for ADB president. He was less straightforward with why he held the opinion though.
But a source close to the ministry said the reason was probably financial. China has borrowed heavily from the ADB. Its loans from the bank approached US$ 26 billion in 2011, second only to India. Meanwhile, it has committed US$ 10.5 billion and paid in only US$ 523 million to the bank.
Reversing the flow of capital to become a net creditor is important if China wants to gain high moral ground in a race for ADB president, the source said. Not to mention the practical necessity that it needs to pump up its capital commitment to the bank in order to increase its voting rights, he added.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has concern as well. It was against sending a Chinese nominee to compete with Nakao because the relationship between China and Japan was at a particularly sensitive moment, the source said, referring to the conflict between the countries over territorial claims to a group of islands in the East China Sea.
Some financial and economic experts contend, however, that China should nevertheless take a shot at the election.
Choosing leaders for a multi-lateral organization is a game between major stake-holding countries, said Tang Min, vice chairman of non-profit You Change China Social Entrepreneur Foundation, who worked at the ADB's representative office to China.
Tang advocates that China assert its rights more aggressively in the bank, otherwise, people will regard it as customary that the president be from Japan.
Proponents for a Chinese nominee also argue that greater participation in the bank's management would facilitate economic cooperation with Japan rather than deepen existing frictions. It may also help China cast its image as a rising power willing to shoulder more international responsibilities, they say.
Moreover, they note that China has plenty of financial resources from its US$ 3 trillion in foreign exchange reserves to make a significant contribution to the ADB and its subsidiary, the Asian Development Fund.
Indeed, China has recently committed to funding a BRICS development bank, the brainchild of leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, when they met in Durban last month.
But challenging Japan's dominance of ADB's top management will not be easy. The United States and Japan are the largest shareholders of the bank. By the end of 2011, each country's contribution made up 15.65 percent of the bank's total equities, and they each held 12.82 percent of voting rights.
In comparison, China's capital contribution and its voting rights were much smaller, at 6.46 and 5.47 percent.
A nominee needs to gain at least half of all votes to become the ADB president. Masahiro Kawai, dean of the Asian Development Bank Institute, a Tokyo-based think tank founded by the ADB, said Japan would be able to maintain its grip over the ADB president post because the United States was not interested in the job while other countries lacked voting support.
For the moment, it seems that the monopoly of Japan over the ADB president post may not change any time soon. Even Tang acknowledged this. But it was still worth an attempt, he said, because trying and failing was better than giving up.

Beijing) – The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been important to Japan the way the World Bank has been to the United States and the International Monetary Fund to the European Union. Since its establishment in 1966, all eight presidents of the ADB have been from Japan and seven of them served at the country's Finance Ministry.
The monopoly looks set to continue, with Takehiko Nakao, Japan's vice finance minister, on course to succeed former president Haruhiko Kuroda, who resigned to become central bank governor in March. The 57-year-old still needs to go through voting by 67 member states of the ADB by April 24, but he is the only candidate for the job.
One seemingly odd twist in the run-up to the election, however, was that China, the third largest shareholder in the bank – and a country that surpassed Japan as the world's second largest economy in 2010 – forfeited its chance to come up with a nominee.
Xie Xuren, who stepped down as China's finance minister in March to chair the National Social Security Fund, has clearly opposed the idea of sending a Chinese candidate to run for ADB president. He was less straightforward with why he held the opinion though.
But a source close to the ministry said the reason was probably financial. China has borrowed heavily from the ADB. Its loans from the bank approached US$ 26 billion in 2011, second only to India. Meanwhile, it has committed US$ 10.5 billion and paid in only US$ 523 million to the bank.
Reversing the flow of capital to become a net creditor is important if China wants to gain high moral ground in a race for ADB president, the source said. Not to mention the practical necessity that it needs to pump up its capital commitment to the bank in order to increase its voting rights, he added.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has concern as well. It was against sending a Chinese nominee to compete with Nakao because the relationship between China and Japan was at a particularly sensitive moment, the source said, referring to the conflict between the countries over territorial claims to a group of islands in the East China Sea.
Some financial and economic experts contend, however, that China should nevertheless take a shot at the election.
Choosing leaders for a multi-lateral organization is a game between major stake-holding countries, said Tang Min, vice chairman of non-profit You Change China Social Entrepreneur Foundation, who worked at the ADB's representative office to China.
Tang advocates that China assert its rights more aggressively in the bank, otherwise, people will regard it as customary that the president be from Japan.
Proponents for a Chinese nominee also argue that greater participation in the bank's management would facilitate economic cooperation with Japan rather than deepen existing frictions. It may also help China cast its image as a rising power willing to shoulder more international responsibilities, they say.
Moreover, they note that China has plenty of financial resources from its US$ 3 trillion in foreign exchange reserves to make a significant contribution to the ADB and its subsidiary, the Asian Development Fund.
