  Go of Balhae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to the Old Book of Tang and the New Book of Tang, he was a son of a Goguryeo leader Geolgeol Jung-sang (乞乞仲象).
The Old Book of the Tang says that he was “a variant kind of Goguryeo” (高麗別種), while the New Book of the Tang states that he is “from the Sumo Mohe region of the former realm of Goguryeo.” New Chinese historians argue that Sumo Mohe is not a region, but an ethnic non-Korean tribe.
Old Book of the Tang described Dae Jo-yeong, the founder of Balhae, as a Goguryeo eccentric.

 Wu Zetian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Her father was Wu Shihuo (武士彠) (577-635), a member of a renowned aristocratic family of Shanxi, and an ally of Li Yuan, the founder of the Tang Dynasty, in his conquest of power (Li Yuan was himself from a renowned aristocratic family of Shanxi).
The emperor at the time was greatly attached to a concubine from the Xiao (蕭) family, and the empress hoped that the arrival of a new beautiful concubine would divert the emperor from the concubine née Xiao.
Empress Wu died nine months later, perhaps consoled by the fact that her nephew Wu Sansi (武三思), son of her half-brother and as ambitious and intriguing as she, had managed to become the real master behind the scenes, controlling the restored emperor through his empress consort with whom he was having an affair.

 The New Yorker: The Critics: Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Fuller revered the tabloid style of photographic shock—a New York politician being shot in the mouth as he opens it to speak, the explosion of the Hindenburg—and his technical daring and mastery were most effective when simulating such moments.
He expected that the country's new spirit of "youthful idealism and vigor" would welcome his anti-authoritarian truculence, and that the withering of censorship would open the door to his most explicit revelations of life's underside.
Once he became an onscreen presence, his importance to the cinema was both magnified and transformed: instead of being recognized for his achievements as one of the greatest Hollywood directors in the hardboiled tradition, he became known as the embodiment of that tradition, even as it was rapidly becoming history.

 Book Central: Books By Greg Tang
Greg Tang was tutoring math in his daughter's class when he noticed something interesting about the dominoes they were using.
Tang taught them to look for patterns instead, and to add and subtract groups of dots in order to calculate the dominoes' value quickly.
His books challenge and encourage children to use creativity and common sense to solve problems, rather than formulas and memorization.

 The New Yorker: Fact
Although the book had already been printed in galleys, Maddox, fearing a legal battle, offered to delete the section; the agreement she signed with Stephen also enjoined her descendants from publishing the material.
If he ever had the energy, he said, he would write a book on “the shitty treatment my grandmother and grandfather got from their country of origin.” Nora had contemplated reburying Joyce’s body on native soil—he had been buried in Zurich during the Second World War—but Irish officials rebuffed the idea.
Stephen’s parents, Giorgio Joyce and Helen Kastor Joyce, had lived in the New York City area during part of the nineteen-thirties, and Stephen’s English was infused with the slang of that era.

Former premier Tang Fei speaks at a press conference yesterday at an Eslite Bookstore in Taipei to promote his new book, Tang Fei: In a Critical Era.
Chang said that although Tang was the shortest-serving premier in Taiwan's political history, being in office for only 137 days, his contribution deserved the appreciation of the public, because as premier he always put the country's interests ahead of his own.
Accompanied by his wife, Tang, who recovered from chest surgery in April, is leaving for the US today for a long vacation.

 Scientists remember Feynman as new book is published - MIT News Office
Professor Guth said Feynman's major contributions came in his theory of fluidity -- the strange, frictionless behavior of liquid helium; a theory of weak interactions, the force that causes radioactive decay; and a theory of partons, the idea that there are subparticles within the nucleus of an atom.
But Professor Lightman said while Dr. Feynman's writings and lectures established this new world order, he was ambivalent about ethical questions outside the scope of science, suspicious of philosophical discussions of science and viewed any stated connection between art and science as pretentious.
When he first gave the lectures that comprise the new book, he was planning to publish them one day, but thought at the time that he didn't have that much of an audience, Carl Feynman said.

 Joanne Weir's 'Weir Cooking: Recipes From the Wine Country' Cookbook
Usually, the attraction is not the book's new culinary horizons but comfortable yet alluring recipes that do not demand hours of work.
The book moves on to more substantial fare, like polenta cakes with mushroom ragout, seared salmon showered with oil-infused herbs, asparagus cheese puffs and a dessert tart with a nubbly cornmeal texture.
She is brilliant, too, at giving familiar dishes a new twist, poaching balls of buffalo mozzarella in warm, fresh tomato sauce perfumed with basil and frying risotto flavored with olive paste into irresistible, bite-size croquettes she calls Rice Olives.

Moshe, who lives in New York, had a contract with the legendary Jewish State Theatre of Bucharest, Romania, to produce a play.
Understandably so, the appearance of a new play is an event as promising as a birth.
But on the other hand, the truth is that many of these world premieres, even when blessed by the critics and the public, rarely get another chance of being produced.

 Dove Booksellers Order Page: Isabelle Robinet, Taoism: Growth of a Religion
Among these themes are the Ultimate Truth, immortality, the Sage, the genesis and the end of the world, retribution for good and evil acts, representations of heavens and hells, and the connections between life and the spirit, between life and death, between man and society, and between mystical experience and the social form of religion.
The plan of the book is chronological, but the chronology is somewhat fluid given the way Taoism evolved; as it assimilated new features in the course of its growth, it never ceased to continue to develop the old ones.
Thus the Celestial Masters sect, which is chronologically the first to attain a structure, is treated at the outset of the book though it exists down to our day, and the Shangqing tradition took shape in the fourth century though its glory years were under the Tang (618-907).
