The New Book of Tang zh t s p X n T ngsh w Hsin T angshu , is a classic work of history about the Tang Dynasty edited by Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi lang zh and other official scholars of the Song Dynasty . The emperor called for a revision of the former Book of Tang in 1044. The New Book was presented to the throne in 1060. It was given its name Xin new to distinguish it from its predecessor. It has been canonised as among the Twenty Four Histories . Contents Ouyang Xiu frequently invokes the principle of reason in evaluating historical accounts, and purges all accounts containing elements of myth or superstition. ref name women cite journal author Davis, Richard L. title Chaste and Filial Women in Chinese Historical Writings of the Eleventh Century journal Journal of the American Oriental Society year 2001 volume 121 issue 2 pages 204 218 doi 10.2307 606561 jstor 606561 ref Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi both disliked the Tang Dynasty s style of flowery prose. They changed the original wordings in the documents that they quoted in the book. However, some of the changes they made did more harm than good as they made some of the sentences difficult to understand. Biographies Four biographies of women appear in this new book that were not present in the first Book of Tang . The women kill or maim themselves in horrible ways, and represent examples of Tang Dynasty women that were intended to deter contemporary readers from extreme behavior. For example, Woman Lu gouges her own eye out to assure her ailing husband that there will be no second man after him. Biographies of 35 overly filial and fraternal men are also included in the work, though these men do not resort to the extremes of female mutilation found in the female biographies. ref name women See also Twenty Four Histories References references External links Wikisourcelang zh Second Canonical Book of the Tang Dynasty http gias.snu.ac.kr wthong publication paekche eng chronicles.pdf Chronicles of the Chinese ... more details
Inappropriate tone date April 2010 Take no prisoners is the order to kill all enemies encountered, even those who are wounded or surrendering. It is now considered an international war crime . Originally used in the military warfare is not a common command today. However, fighting so that there are none left to surrender or so that people are killed rather than wounded would be a take no prisoners style of warfare that is not technically illegal. Take no prisoners style indicates viewing the world in two dimensional terms. There is no third dimension where mercy can be dealt. Instead, there is merely forward active aggression from which no one is spared. Mitigating circumstances, as in warfare, of injury or surrender do not exist in the take no prisoners mindset. Common and similar uses A similar expression to take no prisoners is the British military term of giving no quarter. Essentially quarter might mean quarters or living arrangements for prisoners. Thus giving no quarter can be specifically connected to the phrase take no prisoners. Citation needed date December 2011 Deadly force Shoot to kill a similar expression implying the explicit authorization of military and especially police units is to use weapons to kill targeted persons rather than to maim or disable such persons. It does not however imply a negation of taking prisoners but does similarly imply that the use of deadly force is necessary to be used. In modern usage, take no prisoners is used in a political sense, referring a person s political approach, styles of written and visual arts, and speaking abilities. A politician who delivers an aggressive and vindictive speech against an opposing party might be considered to have a take no prisoners attitude. A book that includes extremely graphic violence might be written in a take no prisoners style, which does not spare the reader any details. It could also reflect on a person s parenting abilities, or one s lifestyle. A parent who Collective punishment ... more details

After the death of Abaye, many of his students moved from Pumbedita to Mahuza, to join Abba ben Joseph s Yeshiva, which had become one of the intellectual centers of the Babylonian Jewish Community. Rava died in 350. Rava apparently had to reply to a deep seated skepticism toward rabbinic authority and to defend the authenticity of the rabbinic oral tradition. The skepticism of Ma ozan Jewry was fueled in part by the acceptance of the Manichaean polemic against Zoroastrianism and its insistence on oral transmission, and by a strong concern with the problem of theodicy , encouraged by a familiarity with Zoroastrian theology.

Dean Cycon, owner of Deans Beans, a coffee roasting company located in Central Massachusetts and Michael Lundquist, Executive Director of the Polus Center for Social & Economic Development, Inc. have worked for many years in developing countries to promote social and economic justice for some of the worlds most vulnerable groups.
