Yam Research Paper

William Ellsworth “Dummy” Hoy was born May 23, 1862 in Houcktown, Ohio. Hoy was born hearing, but went deaf from meningitis at the age of three. He went on to graduate from the Ohio School for the Deaf as class valedictorian. After graduating, Hoy opened a shoe repair shop in his hometown. While playing baseball on the weekends, Hoy earned a professional contract with an Oshkosh, Wisconsin team in 1886. In 1888 Hoy was signed on by the Washington Nationals as only the third deaf professional baseball player ever. In his rookie year, he led the league in stolen bases and finished second with 69 walks. On June 19, 1889, he set a major league record (which has now been tied twice) by throwing out three runners at home plate from center field in

The Mongol Yam method was a route messaging system used frequently and made bigger by Genghis khan.It was also used by other generations of khans as well.The Yam was ran from eastern asia to eastern europe.Relay stations on the Yams route were used to supply food, shelter, and horses for the mongol army and messengers.The Yam was given special attention by the khans because this was where the mongol armies traveled fast and the messengers had to be faster than the army.So the Yam was used to spread the process of information and intelligence very fast.It was also used for war communications as well.The Yam had many relay stations 14-40 miles apart .Messengers from one station would go to the other station and give the information there

During the years 600-900 A.D. of the Chinese Empire, the Tang Dynasty was in power, and was considered the Golden age of Chinese civilization. The dynasty's second emperor, Taizong, started campaigns to deal with threats from the Nomadic Tribes. Due to these campaigns in the Tarim Basin, the Silk Road was able to stay open, allowing for trade in the Middle East and Europe. This trading society encouraged people from distant countries to come and settle in China. Another advancement affecting trade was the “equal-field system” which not only saw that everyone received proper care, but that all land was being farmed. This was possible by making it that people given land did not have to give it up to the military service, called the “Fubing System”,

The Mongols relied heavily on trade and “sponsored numerous caravans” (Document 6). During Pax Mongolica, Genghis Khan guaranteed security (Document 5) on trade routes by placing guards all along the Silk Roads. The Mongols expanded the Silk Roads by adding new routes and bringing in new merchants. Once Pax Mongolica came to

“I will rule them by fixed laws so that rest and happiness shall prevail in the world,” Genghis Khan. In the 1200s, the Mongol Empire rose and conquered most of China. The Mongol Empire was one of history’s most brutal forces because their dominance was led by a hostile leader, driven by ruthless aggression, and strengthened by an understanding of a correct civilization. The Mongol Empire was feared by many because of its ruthless leaders. The empire was divided into groups led by different khans, but the empire soon turned and was united by a strong leader, Temijin.

By 1260, the Mongol Empire extended from the Siberian forests to the Yellow Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean coast. The vast expanse of land the Mongols ruled over made it difficult for leaders to quickly relay orders to troops making advances on several fronts and to communicate other information, edicts, and laws. To combat the inefficient communication, the Yam system was developed under Chinggis Khan’s rule and was officially established under Ogodei Khan. The network included post houses located every few miles, between which messengers would ride their horses pass off the messages to each other. When Marco Polo traveled in the Mongol Empire in the thirteenth century, he claimed that the Mongols maintained up to 10,000 relay stations and 200,000 horses in the Yam (Strayer 347). Each messenger was considered an official representative of the Great Khan, and was eventually issued a tablet called a paiza. The paizas were used to distinguish messengers carrying out orders from unauthorized merchants and traders who were not granted the use of the stations. Through this simple yet massive communication system, messages that normally required weeks to transport now took only a few days to cross thousands of miles. By speeding up communication, the Great Khan could give orders and receive reports rapidly, increasing the efficiency and accuracy of their military attacks and the rate of implementing new government structures in conquered territories. By connecting the far

Marco Polo stated that “200,00 horses are stabled at the post for the special use of messengers”. When established, Pax Mongolica created a system of transcontinental communication routes, ones that surpassed any system of the

Long before there were trains, ships and airplanes to transport goods from one place to another, there was the Silk Road. Beginning in the sixth century, this route was formed and thus began the first major trade system. Although the term “Silk Road” would lead one that it was on road, this term actually refers to a number of different routes that covered a vast amount of land and were traveled by many different people. Along with silk, large varieties of goods were traded and traveled along this route both going to and from China. Material goods were not the only thing that passed along this path, but many religions were brought into China via the Silk Road. These topics will be discussed in detail in this paper.

The consistent motion of shares gradually transported the Mongol war into commercial arteries (222). The migration of goods gradually increased, and because of this the Mongol authorities looked for easier and faster routes so the shipment of goods can be smoother. The Mongol authorities expanded the Mongolian postal system, and by expanding the system memos, people, and appurtenances could be sent by horses and camels, from country to country. The expedition of Khubilai Khan in 1281 led to a route to develop that connected China and the Tibet and Himalayan area in the postal system. The expedition also led scholars to make a map of the Yellow river (222).

On January 28, 1842, William Yarrington was born in Norwich, VT (VT in the Civil War). Growing up, he lived in a large family, which was probably hectic, but equally memorable. His father, Joel Yarrington, was a farmer, giving him the profound role as the head of their humble homestead (1850 Census). William’s mother, Sarah Jane Newcomb, was most likely a strict, but equally wonderful women, who spent her busy days housekeeping and taking care of her many children, as many women did back then (1850 Census). These children, Kate, Harvey, Clarissa, Merrill, and Sarah, were William’s siblings (1850 & 1860 Census). Harvey being the oldest of the five, had the tiresome job of a farmer, alike to his father (1850 Census). All the other siblings, including

Yakima, Washington is located in the southern part of the state, 142 miles southeast of Seattle and 202 Miles southwest of Spokane, and produces 75% of all the hops grown in the United States. Agriculture plays an important role in both the city's and the state's economy. Some examples of the crops grown here are the following: peppers, corn, beans, apples, peaches, pears, cherries and melons. The surrounding area is a semi-arid desert with four distinct seasons, it rains very little and boasts about its 300 days of sunshine per year. Yakima is the 11th largest city in Washington state, with 93,986 people and it was supposedly named after an Indian chief’s daughter whom built her home on the side of the river Yakama (known now as the Yakima

The Mongols’ selfish desire to conquer distant lands indirectly led to the modernization of the world. In order to globalize their empire, the Mongols created, and used, a variety of political tactics. These tactics influenced new ideas in distinct civilizations that shaped the way our world is today. The Mongolian Empire was the first to control a network of cross-eurasian trade routes: the silk road. The silk road is arguably the most effective trading network in history. The Mongols established control of all trade by protect merchants traveling along the road in return for a fee. This system encouraged global trade by eliminating the fear of being looted. This was one of the first traces to a global economy, or trade network. In addition,

Long distance trading had made it possible for people from different cultures to interact. Silk roads were one of the famous trade routes that were used in the ancient time. It stretched from China to central Asia and westward. It merged into one big series of routes. Traders traveled segments of the route, passing their goods on to others who took them further along the road, and in turn, passed them on again. The effect of long-distance exchanges altered the political geography of Afro-Eurasia. The Middle East became a commercial middle ground between the Mediterranean and Indian. The horse-riding nomads of Inner Eurasia made long-distance trade possible. Kushan empire in Afghanistan and the Indus River basin embraced a large and diverse

Yama and Niyama are the first two steps of the eight limb movements. These two steps have been important in the process of what I wanted to achieve through yoga. Yama has allowed me to free myself from all the negativity. Overtime I have been able to learn about my own habits, values and beliefs and how I treat others. I’ve also gained internal discipline that has taught me better habits, such as time management and appreciation of other. As I continue to practice yoga I feel Yama and Niyama being a part of who I am. I find myself being more aware of what foods I put into my body, and paying attention to how I treat myself. Niyama has given me insight to appreciating the little things in everyday life. In the beginning of this course
