- 352: Filial Piety In China
- ... Confucianism and with it, filial piety, was so strong that the slogan "Overthrow Confucius and Sons" enjoyed great popularity.

I have ... the aspiring musician. If any legislation passed, it should only ban the distribution of copyrighted material. The emergence of MP3 has tremendously excited unsigned musical artists. Many believe this is the beginning of a musical revolution where the “little guys” are going to conquer the “big guys.” ZDNet, an online magazine, recently interviewed Michael Robertson, CEO of MP3.com which is an web site devoted to the distribution of MP3 files created by independent/unsigned musicians. “People keep asking me, ‘When are you going to sign Madonna, When are you going to sign Michael Jackson?’ said Robertson. “But this is a bottoms-up revolution.

- 357: How Far Did The Policies Of Ol
- ... December 1627 the Duke of Mantua died and consequently there was a dispute over who should succeed his position. It seems that the candidate who held the best claim was the Duke of Nevers; a French Noble. Hence there was a distinct French threat to the security of Spain’s Italian possessions in the north of Italy, notably Milan. In response the Milanese governor, Córdoba, sent his troops to Monteferrat in March 1628. Olivares did not publicly endorse this move but he probably gave private encouragement to Córdoba.

- 359: Battles Of World War One
- ... important battles, I have chosen to summarize a few and to choose one as the most important. The first really important battle was the first battle of the Marne. In this battle the heavily outnumbered French forces held off the first German invasion at the Marne River. This battle forced the Germans to regroup North of the Marne and destroyed the Schlieffen Plan. The Schlieffen Plan was the German plan of attack. Its objective was to knock the French out of the war before Russia would conquer eastern Germany. It unleashed three quarters of the German army in a giant westward sweep across Belgium and Luxembourg, and then into a giant wheel South into France. This plan accepted the risks of an early Russian attack on the eastern front, so when the French destroyed it the German objective wasn't attained and it left the Russians with an open window for an attack.
